[00:00] <Teth> *coughs* sorry, no harm was intended
[00:00] <zetheroo> r007: what is Client Hostname?
[00:01] <r007> zetheroo will be the ip or the hostname if you can resolve it
[00:01] <wcchandler> Does anyone know if EXT4 has good support for SSDs?
[00:01] <zetheroo> r007: so the name of the computer I am connecting to?
[00:01] <technikfreak> yep
[00:02] <r007> zetheroo only if it resolves otherwise you will need to add it to /etc/hosts or just connect to the ip
[00:02] <Gnea> Teth: you'll need to stop X, and in a console terminal login and type:  Xorg -configure   and it will create an xorg.conf in your ~ which you can then edit and put into /etc/X11/
[00:02] <soulzie> right, so maverick server is *not* reliable then?
[00:02] <coz_> wcchandler,    http://thunk.org/tytso/blog/2009/03/01/ssds-journaling-and-noatimerelatime/
[00:03] <Gnea> soulzie: better asked in #ubuntu-server
[00:03] <coz_> wcchandler,    http://blog.loxal.net/2009/04/tuning-ext4-for-performance-with.html
[00:03] <zetheroo> r007: I am getting an error ... name or service not known
[00:03] <r007> zetheroo what are yo using?
[00:04] <wcchandler> coz_ Much thanks!
[00:04] <zetheroo> r007: does domain need to be starting with "smb"?
[00:04] <maxb> soulzie: I think you're being a bit melodramatic, pronouncing that the entire distro is unreliable because you're having problems figuring out how to quote a filename in bash
[00:04] <Very_Cool> Samba issue with read speed.  winxp can write to samba server at 55mb/s...but can only read at 25mb/s.  Ive been messing with buffers, tcp_nodelay, hard drive read aheads etc...   any ideas, comments, suggestions (ie Is this normal for samba)?
[00:04] <zetheroo> r007: Client Hostname  PC004
[00:04] <coz_> wcchandler,  no problem you can also googl   ext4  with ssd
[00:04] <r007> zetheroo if you ping the domain does it resolve to an ip
[00:04] <Gnea> maxb: still, it is a question better asked in #ubuntu-server
[00:04] <technikfreak> zetheroo are you able to ping PC004?
[00:05] <Gnea> Very_Cool: #samba can help you out with that
[00:05] <zetheroo> technikfreak: yes
[00:05] <wcchandler> coz_ I was trying but I wasn't getting anything good.  I may have been too specific.  :/ ha
[00:05] <Very_Cool> Gnea: ty
[00:05] <technikfreak> with the name or the ip adress?
[00:05] <zetheroo> r007: not sure what the domain is exactly ...
[00:05] <zetheroo> technikfreak: ping pc004
[00:06] <coz_> wcchandler,  yeah general info search strings tend to yield the better results
[00:06] <zetheroo> PING pc004.arev.local (192.168.16.14) 56(84) bytes of data.
[00:06] <r007> zetheroo just use the ip as the host
[00:06] <zetheroo> technikfreak: ^^
[00:06] <soulzie> maxb erm... I am talking about a newly installed server , manages somehow to create a directory called (null)
[00:06] <soulzie> you try and creaTE TRHAT and remove it perhaps?
[00:06] <coz_> wcchandler,   you can then be more specific according the hits from the generalized search
[00:06] <r007> zetheroo you need to use  pc004.arev.local then
[00:06] <soulzie> I'd say that is* a cause for 'melodrama' when it comes to a server?
[00:06] <zetheroo> r007: but won't that change from time to time with DHCP going?
[00:07] <zetheroo> ok
[00:07] <technikfreak> maybe the dns server will be add the prefix themself?
[00:07] <r007> zetheroo yes the IP will so just use the hostname  pc004.arev.local
[00:07] <snow_ru> zeth,  this is off topic, please join #network
[00:07] <snow_ru> zetheroo,
[00:07] <zetheroo>  r007: and is the domain "smb://arevdomain/"?
[00:08] <soulzie> I would like to see you manage to replicate it maxb , at least then it would be a bug with linux and not the server?
[00:08] <r007> zetheroo no the smb:// is telling it to use samba
[00:08] <zetheroo> snow_ru: I assure you this is very on-topic ;)
[00:08] <maxb> soulzie: So, rmdir '(null)', and maybe file a bug on whatever created it.
[00:08] <snow_ru> !topic
[00:08] <zetheroo> r007: is .... arev.local ... the domain?
[00:08] <soulzie> ah it works with quotres? if it does, I will apologise Immediately for my idiocy!
[00:08] <technikfreak> so guys i wish you a good night or day (my local time is 1 am over..)
[00:08] <technikfreak> sorry for posting personal related things an not technical...
[00:08] <r007> zetheroo pc004.arev.local is the domain
[00:09] <zetheroo> snow_ru: I am using Ubuntu  ... this is about Ubuntu ... thanks
[00:09] <zetheroo> r007: ok
[00:09] <zetheroo> r007: so it's both the domain and the hostname
[00:09] <realeyes> hey so, about that 200 lines of code that optimizes your system; Does that work for Ubuntu 10.10?
[00:09] <snow_ru> these thing are not well manipulated in ubuntu
[00:10] <r007> zetheroo yes
[00:10] <soulzie> maxb... ok it was an anomolous action which with quotes is possible (was cairo dock creating it) my bad... I once created such a illogical forbidden directory in dos once, and it screwed up my computer .. as it cudnt even format the disk (back then) due to two identical named dirs in one place.. hence why I got this same 'panic'
[00:10] <soulzie> fine I am melodramatic lol :(
[00:10] <soulzie> thanks anyway
[00:11] <soulzie> which reminds me, why am i even bothering wiht openbopx on this serv hehe :/

[00:32] <zetheroo> r007: thanks for your help ;)\
[00:33] <jrib> Cukier: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line)

[00:33] <nyquist333> Does fsck report false errors when run on a mounted drive partition with -n?

[00:42] <muelli> syzygy: network manager. I have an icon in my notification area.
[00:42] <ubuntuguy> Because I'm not understanding it
[00:43] <nyquist333> I had to repair my hd after a bad shutdown. Not sure it it worked. Does fsck report false errors when mounted during recovery? It is fine when I run fsck from a live flash drive.
[00:43] <soicon> ubuntuguy: better here, so people could see and help if necessary
[00:43]  * syzygy going to look for network manager
[00:43] <r007> djwattz define nothing happened?
[00:43] <soicon> ubuntuguy: click open already?
[00:43] <ubuntuguy> Alright
[00:43] <muelli> r007: no, I don't think so. But what do you want to do anyway?
[00:43] <ubuntuguy> I did what you told me to do

[00:43] <soicon> ubuntuguy: and the folder has music files inside?
[00:43] <ubuntuguy> but it's not doing anything
[00:43] <ubuntuguy> Yes
[00:43] <FloodBot3> ubuntuguy: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:43] <r007> muelli nothing just thinking for djwattz
[00:44] <soicon> ubuntuguy: choose File / Import folder
[00:44] <soicon> ubuntuguy: not Import files
[00:44] <muelli> r007: No. djwattz just has to move the file out of the way.
[00:44] <ubuntuguy> I mean folder, I did folder not files
[00:44] <ubuntuguy> And then I click the folder with music and it shows the music (unclickable) and that's it
[00:45] <soicon> ubuntuguy: click open one more time
[00:45] <ubuntuguy> There's no open
[00:45] <Pacifica> divided, what do you see in the syslog when you plug it in?
[00:45] <ubuntuguy> I'm able to click the file
[00:45] <ubuntuguy> BUt there's no open
[00:45] <r007> muelli surely he can just comment it out of the apt sources list
[00:45] <divided> Pacifica: sorry got kicked
[00:45] <soicon> ubuntuguy: please sure that you choose Import folder
[00:46] <soicon> ubuntuguy: please do it again ;)
[00:46] <ubuntuguy> I just did it again
[00:46] <ubuntuguy> I clicked
[00:46] <ubuntuguy> import folder
[00:46] <ubuntuguy> and then music section
[00:46] <Pacifica> divided, did you see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1472475
[00:46] <FloodBot3> ubuntuguy: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:46] <ubuntuguy> than my music folder,

[00:48] <divided> Pacifica: thanks I'll take a look at that
[00:48] <ubuntuguy> I click music- import folder- music section- my folder and click it
[00:48] <nyquist333> does anyone know or can they confim if a READ-ONLY fsck on a mounted hd using "sudo fsck -n /dev/sda1" reports false errors?
[00:48] <ubuntuguy> THen it shows all my files in folder but I can't import them
[00:48] <djwattz> muelli it wont move it just moakes a copy of its self
[00:48] <ubuntuguy> It just shows unclickable files
[00:48] <soicon> ubuntuguy: ok, so try another way, open your music folder, open rhythm-box and choose all the music file in you are folder , drag and drop it into the rhythmbox
[00:49] <Nach0z> hey i've got a question about Chmod... if I have a folder that I want everyone to be able to write to, including a program that will not run as root, how would I do that? the ubuntu page on chmod hasn't been much help to me
[00:49] <muelli> djwattz: ... open a terminal, do "sudo mv $filename /tmp/".
[00:49] <ubuntuguy> And then
[00:49] <muelli> Nach0z: chmod a+w myfolder
[00:49] <Nach0z> thanks
[00:49] <nyquist333> Nach0z - set others to write.
[00:49] <muelli> Nach0z: in fact, chmod a+rwx myfolder.
[00:50] <ubuntuguy> I'm playing my music on rhythmbox, but I want to save my music files there
[00:50] <ubuntuguy> Not just play
[00:50] <ubuntuguy> I want to save them
[00:50] <muelli> ubuntuguy: you don't save files "in rhyhtmbox". It just plays them.
[00:50] <edbian> ubuntuguy, You don't save files in a program.
[00:50] <pokoko222> wtf i cant find a way to play rm in ubuntu for an hour
[00:50] <pokoko222> fuckin ubuntu
[00:50] <muelli> !real | pokoko222
[00:50] <ubuntuguy> I thought you had the ability to save your songs in rhythmbox...
[00:50] <soicon> ubuntuguy: choose Music / Playlist / New ...
[00:51] <r007> Nach0z chmod 777 directory
[00:51] <soicon> ubuntuguy: then name it
[00:51] <ubuntuguy> Alriht
[00:51] <edbian> ubuntuguy, You don't save files in a program.  You use a program to save them some where on the HDD perhaps.  But they are not inside the program.
[00:51] <divided> can i update from 10.04 to 10.10 from the command line?
[00:51] <ubuntuguy> OH
[00:51] <muelli> divided: yes.
[00:51] <ubuntuguy> Soicon, after you name them?
[00:51] <divided> muelli: is it do-release-upgrade?
[00:52] <r007> divided yes you can use apt-get dist-upgrade
[00:52] <soicon> ubuntuguy: drag and drop music files into that playlist
[00:52] <muelli> divided: don't listen to r007. do-release-upgrade sounds appropriate.
[00:52] <r007> ooh
[00:52] <ubuntuguy> And they will be there forever until I delete them from playlist?

[00:54] <soicon> ubuntuguy: playlist only save the "address" of files
[00:55] <ubuntuguy> Explain please
[00:55] <Pacifica> divided, yes, or add 2.6.34 yourself
[00:55] <ubuntuguy> xD
[00:55] <djwattz> it says no such file but i see it in the / in the gui
[00:55] <Pacifica> divided, there might be a backport to 10.04 for kernel 2.6.34
[00:55] <ubuntuguy> Like I wanted to save my songs like you save them on itunes
[00:55] <ubuntuguy> for example
[00:55] <soicon> ubuntuguy: even when you change the file path or delete or move the files , it cannot play your music anymore
[00:55] <divided> Pacifica: i'm a nub when it comes to the kernel stuff, i'll just update to 10.10
[00:55] <djwattz> mv: cannot stat `ubuntu-tweak-stable.list.d': No such file or directory
[00:55] <ubuntuguy> Oh, because I wanted to like save my music like you would on itunes
[00:56] <Pacifica> divided, please first make sure that what you're experiencing matches what you're reading there :-)
[00:56] <r007> djwattz your using a relative path are you in that directory?
[00:56] <muelli> djwattz: put the full filename there. i.e. /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-tweak....
[00:56] <divided> Pacifica: some of it does
[00:56] <soicon> ubuntuguy: I've used itunes so far, but I guess we cannot do like that on rhythmbox
[00:56] <earthmeLon> I currently have ubuntu 10.10 installed with / on one partition and /home/ on an encrypted partition.  I would like to install ubuntu 10.10 again and keep the /home/ partition as is.  Will I run into any trouble because of the encryption or is the installer 'smart-enough' to help me with that?
[00:56] <Pacifica> divided, for instance: If your wifi adapter is WUSB54GC, then the fix seems to be to blacklist the rt2500usb driver; see the following thread.
[00:56] <Pacifica> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9236202
[00:56] <ubuntuguy> Alright, thanks for the help man!
[00:57] <kitrana> whats the command to reload the sound drivers
[00:57] <Pacifica> divided, I'd read all the posts carefully before upgrading.
[00:57] <kitrana> specifically pulseaudio
[00:57] <djwattz> sudo mv/etc/apt/sources.list.d ubuntu-tweak-stable.list.d /tmp
[00:57] <djwattz> ? rigt
[00:57] <divided> Pacifica:  I will thanks, I'll let you know how it goes
[00:57] <Pacifica> divided, good luck!
[00:58] <r007> djwattz space between mv and /
[00:58] <kitrana> djwattz: if your looking to move a file i was about to say that
[00:58] <djwattz> so  sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-tweak-stable.list.d /tmp
[00:58] <GanonKiller> is combat arms still being developed for meerkat?
[00:58] <kitrana> yes djwattz
[00:59] <Agent001> i  got a font issue on ubuntu
[00:59] <kitrana> whats the command to makie pulseaudio reload
[00:59] <raggi> why would all hot processes on a multicore machine all bias to one cpu?
[00:59] <r007> djwattz isnt it ubuntu-tweak-stable.list and not list.d
[01:00] <djwattz> yaa list not .d
[01:00] <djwattz> so sudo mv/etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-tweak-stable.list /tmp
[01:00] <r007> you might need a / after tmp
[01:00] <GringoStar> It look less busy now so I'll ask again: I 've set my screensaver to never and the power management to never sleep in 10.04 but it continue to sleep after 15 minutes download or movie or game...
[01:01] <djwattz> keeps saying command not found
[01:01] <Styper> Hey there, is there a way to auto-load the Screensaver as soon as the computer starts?
[01:01] <divided> what's the command to see what version aka 10.04?
[01:01] <r007> djwattz try cp /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-tweak-stable.list /tmp/ubuntu-tweak-stable.list
[01:02] <r007> djwattz then rm -rf /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-tweak-stable.list
[01:02] <GringoStar> How can I disable monitor sleep?
[01:02] <muelli> no r007. djwattz has not put a space between "mv" and the file.. *sigh*
[01:02] <muelli> GringoStar: try running the gnome-screensaver with --debug and check what it says.
[01:02] <r007> fail
[01:02] <djwattz> the cp one worked
[01:02] <GringoStar> thanks
[01:03] <djwattz> the one r007 didnt work
[01:03] <r007> you just said it did make your mind up :)
[01:03] <djwattz> it says it cannot remove
[01:03] <r007> and it should btw in fact both methods should
[01:04] <r007> you need to sudo
[01:04] <djwattz> oh ok
[01:05] <djwattz> so sudo rm -rf /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-tweak-stable.list
[01:05] <djwattz> ?
[01:05] <r007> yup
[01:06] <djwattz> k it look like it took the command
[01:06] <djwattz> ha ha it worked
[01:06] <djwattz> thanxs guys
[01:06] <r007> actually to be on the safe side use rm and not rm -rf in case you type it wrong
[01:06] <GanonKiller> i still cant get combat arms to work in linux
[01:06] <r007> np
[01:07] <GanonKiller> i still cant get combat arms to work in WINE
[01:07] <GringoStar> In the screensaver settings, I've uncheck all box and put the slider to it max but continue to sleep. When I try the --debug, I got this: ** (gnome-screensaver:1876): WARNING **: Screensaver already running in this session
[01:08] <r007> !ubottu | wien GranonKiller
[01:08] <dragonbyte> Is there a handy chart for LTS support?
[01:08] <r007> !ubottu | wine GranonKiller
[01:08] <muelli> GringoStar: so use gnome-screensave-command --quit or so to get rid of the running instance

[01:08] <idrankwhat> Hello! Anyone running tweetdeck on ubuntu? Second question, how do I change directories in terminal. I am familiar with the old text DOS but not familiar with linux.
[01:08] <djwattz> thanx muelli and r007 saveed my life
[01:09] <muelli> idrankwhat: it's the very say
[01:09] <muelli> *same
[01:09] <idrankwhat> cd
[01:09] <idrankwhat> cd C:\etc
[01:10] <r007> idrankwhat no its / in Linux
[01:10] <r007> and theres no drive letters
[01:10] <idrankwhat> cd C:/etc
[01:10] <r007> so its cd /etc
[01:11] <rinku_kokiri> anyone know why i can't  unzip a bz2 file ??
[01:11] <microm> I have spend 3 days one the same problem: connecting a ubuntu box to my dd-wrt WRT54G router (wireless works flawlessly in gentoo)
[01:11] <idrankwhat> ok cool, so I'm not too unfamiliar with it. now my first question again, is there a tweedeck for ubuntu?
[01:12] <muelli> !details | rinku_kokiri
[01:12] <r007> rinku_kokiri what syntax are you using?
[01:12] <augdawg> where can i go to learn about hacking on unity using vala?
[01:12] <muelli> augdawg: the internet
[01:12] <rinku_kokiri> tar xvfj dolphin-2.0.i686.tar.bz2
[01:12] <rinku_kokiri> bzip2: (stdin) is not a bzip2 file.
[01:12] <rinku_kokiri> tar: Child returned status 2
[01:12] <rinku_kokiri> tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
[01:12] <FloodBot3> rinku_kokiri: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:12] <nit-wit> augdawg, Google
[01:12] <muelli> rinku_kokiri: do a "file" on your file.
[01:13] <rinku_kokiri> dolphin-2.0.i686.tar.bz2: gzip compressed data, from Unix
[01:13] <r007> rinku_kokiri what about gunzip?
[01:13] <muelli> rinku_kokiri: there you go.
[01:13] <muelli> rinku_kokiri: generally: Don't try to be smart. A "tar xvf $file" will do.
[01:14] <Gnea> rinku_kokiri: tar xvf file.tar[.gz|.bz2]
[01:14] <shmup> so i noticed that when i have xchat set to start in my 'startup applications' it won't start with the system tray icon
[01:14] <augdawg> nit-wit muelli i guess i should have tried that first. anyway heres a great post if found
[01:14] <augdawg> http://askubuntu.com/questions/7797/which-is-the-preferred-environment-to-start-hacking-unity
[01:14] <shmup> do apps load differently when ran from "applications startup' ? i know they're ran through terminal but..
[01:14] <shmup> i don't quite get it
[01:14] <GringoStar> I don't get any result from the --debug. (no error)
[01:14] <nit-wit> augdawg, not interested in hacking  but thanks anyway,do you mean cracking?
[01:15] <idrankwhat> I tried to download adobe air but it would only give me a spanish website for a linux version. Any ideas?
[01:15] <Khisanth> shmup: in theory it should not but in this case it is probably because by putting it there xchat ends up starting before the notification area has been created
[01:15] <rinku_kokiri> gzip: dolphin-2.0.i686.tar.bz2: unknown suffix -- ignored
[01:15] <Fredricho> hi
[01:15] <Fredricho> how do i convert a mdb file to csv?
[01:15] <augdawg> nit-wit just thought you might be interested. also, i just thought it might be interesting to write unity places and such.
[01:15] <rinku_kokiri> and tar xvf complains it's not a tar file
[01:15] <shmup> Khisanth, d'aw.. that makes sense.
[01:15] <Gnea> rinku_kokiri: mv dolphin-2.0.i686.tar.bz2 dolphin-2.0.i686.tar.gz
[01:16] <muelli> rinku_kokiri: so it's probably not a tar file.
[01:16] <shmup> Khisanth, probably nothing I can do, right? besides just starting xchat manually
[01:16] <Gnea> obviously, if it's labeled wrong, rename it
[01:16] <nit-wit> augdawg, yeah sounds cool I just have other things going on.
[01:16] <rinku_kokiri> allright
[01:16] <rinku_kokiri> thx
[01:17] <Styper> is there a way to auto-load the Screensaver as soon as the computer starts?
[01:17] <idrankwhat> is there a newbie channel for really new people? I don't understand a lot of the lingo yet.
[01:17] <r007> rinku_kokiri gunzip dolphin-2.0.i686.tar.bz
[01:17] <rinku_kokiri> i got it by renaming it to gz
[01:18] <Khisanth> shmup: hmm there is a hackish solution that might work, then there is patching xchat ...
[01:18] <shmup> Khisanth, lets start with the hackish solution :P
[01:18] <Khisanth> shmup: do you know about the startup.txt file for xchat?
[01:19] <shmup> well..
[01:19] <shmup> i know it's not in .xchat2 :P
[01:19] <Khisanth> it's not there by default but you can create it
[01:19] <shmup> oh wow, really?
[01:19] <shmup> and isnt there some /set_gui command for xchat?
[01:19] <shmup> that places an icon in the systemtray/notification area
[01:19] <shmup> well anyways, go on with what you're thinking
[01:21] <djwattz>  muelli and r007 another question i wana install my card reader in my laptop
[01:21] <jrmcm> i need help connecting my mobile broadband device from clearwire
[01:21] <Khisanth> shmup: http://pastebin.com/2TDyRgAw you might have to adjust the 10 and 11
[01:21] <thunkee> Fredricho: chekc mdb tools ... worked for me
[01:21] <shmup> wonderful
[01:21] <shmup> that makes sense
[01:22] <shmup> didnt know xchat had a built in timer, either
[01:22] <Khisanth> /help timer
[01:22] <muelli> !details |  jrmcm
[01:22] <shmup> i will test this as soon as night comes in minecraft ^^
[01:22] <Fredricho> thunkee
[01:23] <Fredricho> how do i sudo aptget it?
[01:23] <divided> how can i tell what version of ubuntu i'm running
[01:23] <shmup> you sudo apt-get install/remove/update/upgrade
[01:23] <shmup> in the terminal
[01:23] <shmup> OH
[01:23] <neurochromexx> l
[01:23] <schultza> when is the daily update sources going to be ready?
[01:23] <shmup> you asked how you sudo apt-get something in particular, sorry
[01:23] <edbian> divided, Go to the help menu.  It's in there.
[01:23] <shmup> i thought you were asking how to sudo apt-get ^^
[01:23] <edbian> divided, or rather, "about Ubuntu"
[01:24] <muelli> divided: lsb_release =a
[01:24] <muelli> -a even
[01:24] <divided> edbian: sorry, from command line
[01:24] <Gnea> schultza: in about 5 years
[01:24] <edbian> divided, I'm not sure there is a way...
[01:24] <jrmcm> When I plug in the USB device its not recognized, and using the mobile broadband wizard in ubuntu clear or clearwire is not an option. I am running 10.04 on kernal 2.6.32-26
[01:24] <r007> dived cat /etc/issue
[01:24] <muelli> edbian, divided: there is. lsb_release
[01:24] <r007> divided cat /etc/issue
[01:24] <schultza> thanks.
[01:24] <muelli> divided: don't listen to r007.
[01:25] <r007> lol whatever
[01:25] <r007> type it then nvm dont listen
[01:25] <edbian> divided, lsb_release -a
[01:26] <GringoStar> brb
[01:26] <allaire> anybody have a clue why in my ftp when I upload a file, the owner is  "1004" and the group is "1005"? The user is called "brico", same for the group… when I do ls -l I get brico:brico, really weird...
[01:26] <edbian> r007, Why don't you look what's in the file.
[01:26] <divided> edbian, muelle, r007 thanks but cat /etc/issue works too
[01:26] <r007> cat /etc/issue will show you what version
[01:26] <edbian> I believe all it says is "Debian Testing"  Did they change it? (I'm not on an Ubuntu machine)
[01:26] <r007> edbian they changed it :)
[01:27] <divided> with lsb_release -a i see i have 10.04, but when i do-release-upgrade, it won't update to 10.10 - why?
[01:28] <edbian> divided, By default Ubuntu only looks for LTS releases
[01:28] <Flannel> divided: `cat /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades` does it say "Prompt=lts" or Prompt=normal?
[01:28] <edbian> divided, system -> admin -> software sources to change it
[01:28] <r007> divided what about apt-get -u dist-upgrade?
[01:28] <edbian> divided, What Flannel said by cli
[01:29] <divided> edbian, Flannel: Prompt=lts
[01:29] <djwattz> anyone know how to install a memory card reader driver in ubuntu 10.10
[01:29] <edbian> divided, Change it to normal.
[01:29] <divided> r007: it still says nothing available
[01:29] <Flannel> divided: That means it'll only try and upgrade from LTS to LTS, you can change it to normal if you want to be on the six month cycle
[01:30] <r007> divided oh ok never tried it
[01:30] <mongrul> HI
[01:30] <muelli> djwattz: yes. You just plug the thing in.
[01:30] <divided> edbian, Flannel: awesome thanks, it's getting the new one
[01:31] <snake> how do i change the default screensaer daemon in ubuntu 10.04 to xscreensaver
[01:31] <shmup> Khisanth, it worked. Much thanks. ^^
[01:31] <muelli> Snake: I think you don't.
[01:31] <shmup> Actually, I do have another question related to XChat.. mind if I PM you?
[01:31] <edbian> snake, install xscreensaver, remove gnome-screensaver restart the machine
[01:31] <shmup> It's something I've been wondering.
[01:32] <snake> muelli, it's linux, you can do anything.
[01:32] <snake> edbian, thanks
[01:32] <muelli> :D
[01:32] <Fredricho> hi
[01:32] <Fredricho> how do i convert a mdb file to csv?
[01:32] <djwattz> muelli i did that it doesnt do anything
[01:32] <The_rogue_smiler> Why does it take 10 minutes to open my email on ubuntu?
[01:33] <The_rogue_smiler> my connection is fine btw
[01:33] <shmup> 10 whole minutes?
[01:33] <The_rogue_smiler> yes
[01:33] <muelli> The_rogue_smiler: you mean evolution?
[01:33] <edbian> The_rogue_smiler, How are you viewing your email?  In a browser?
[01:33] <jrmcm> I need help connecting a mobile broadband device from clear. The device is a USB stick and nothing happens when i plug it in. I have tried using the mobile broadband setup and neither clear or clearwire are options. I am running ubuntu 10.04.1 on kernal 2.6.32-26
[01:33] <Fredricho> hi
[01:33] <The_rogue_smiler> yes edbian

[01:34] <janisozaur> how do I disable password prompt for certain action?
[01:34] <The_rogue_smiler> quicker than my mail
[01:34] <edbian> The_rogue_smiler, Have you tried other browsers?
[01:34] <The_rogue_smiler> but they are still slow. I know it isnt my connection because the other computers have no trouble
[01:34] <muelli> janisozaur: I *think* you have to configure PolicyKit. I've seen a GUI for that somewhere in administration.
[01:34] <The_rogue_smiler> no I have not
[01:34] <virfrojan> i have questions. how to run the application with auto
[01:35] <janisozaur> muelli, do I have to install it or it comes with default install?
[01:35] <thunkee> Fredricho: http://tinyurl.com/32h73dm
[01:35] <muelli> janisozaur: dunno. but I'm sure google knows that ;-)
[01:36] <r007> janisozaur its asking for the password for a good reason :)
[01:36] <janisozaur> r007, I'm aware of that. but that is not an answer to my question.
[01:36] <Fredricho> no srsly
[01:37] <Fredricho> im a novie linux user
[01:37] <r007> janisozaur I wasnt answering your question more making a point
[01:37] <Fredricho> i want something that will convert my files to csv and back to mdb
[01:37] <Fredricho> My HW is 1 wk overdue because of nerdy linux
[01:37] <janisozaur> r007, then consider me aware of your point and I'd be more glad if you made a point about a solution to my question
[01:37] <muelli> Fredricho: what is a .mdb file?
[01:37] <edbian> Fredricho, yes, what is .mdb?
[01:38] <Fredricho> microsoft acces file
[01:38] <janisozaur> muelli, ms access databse, I believe
[01:38] <Fredricho> Microsoft DataBase
[01:38] <edbian> Fredricho, install python and eric.  This program can convert your files but the configuration is quite extensive...
[01:38] <Uplifted> ballinn
[01:38] <Fredricho> i want a simple way plz
[01:38] <r007> .mdb microsoft access eww
[01:38] <youlun> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Access
[01:38] <janisozaur> Fredricho, what are you trying to do?
[01:38] <Fredricho> convert mdb to csv
[01:39] <muelli> janisozaur: there is a polkit-gnome package. You might want to check that out'
[01:39] <Fredricho> r007: dont insult
[01:39] <blackstar> quick question, is Linux Mint Debian better than Ubuntu?
[01:39] <r007> Fredricho wasnt insulting you
[01:39] <janisozaur> Fredricho, I've done that once with mono for a friend, but it was a long time ago and I doubt i still have this project lying around. But it should be easy
[01:39] <Fredricho> dont insult windows
[01:39] <thunkee> ok i post ist :) ... mdb-export db.mdb customers >> customers.csv
[01:39] <r007> Fredericho give me a good reason not to :)
[01:39] <Fredricho> my document is db1.mdb

[01:41] <Fredricho> yes
[01:41] <Fredricho> but the hw is due tommorow
[01:41] <janisozaur> Fredricho, check http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080820100758AAYyN7V
[01:42] <Fredricho> i have no time to start over
[01:42] <edbian> Fredricho, .csv is raw text.  is .mdb raw?  Just change the extension manually
[01:42] <muelli> jrmcm: plug it out, do a "sudo dmesg -c", plug it back in, do a "sudo dmesg -c" again and pastebin the output.
[01:42] <janisozaur> !info polkit-gnome
[01:42] <janisozaur> muelli, there is no such package
[01:42] <jrmcm> k will do
[01:42] <muelli> janisozaur: apparently I've still got that package installed. Sorry.
[01:43] <thunkee> Fredricho: in general you cant convert .mdb to .csv ... because .mdb is a databse type and .csv is a table type ... if you want .csv you need to know the tables in the .mdb und do the convert
[01:43] <jrmcm> what do you mean pastebin?
[01:43] <depechemod99> y'a quelqun
[01:43] <muelli> janisozaur: there is policykit-desktop-privileges though. You might check that out and adapt.

[01:43] <djwattz> anyone know how to mount a internal sd card reader in unbuntu 10.10
[01:43] <r007> janisozaur you can always create a root account or run gksudo nautilus
[01:43] <Fredricho> like rates, returns and personal data?
[01:44] <Flannel> edbian, Fredricho: mdb is a binary file, I'm pretty sure.  There is a tool though (at least one, this is first google result): http://nialldonegan.me/2007/03/10/converting-microsoft-access-mdb-into-csv-or-mysql-in-linux/

[01:44] <muelli> djwattz: plug it out, do a "sudo dmesg -c", plug it back in, do a "sudo dmesg -c" again and pastebin the output.
[01:44] <Flannel> Fredricho: mdbtools are in the repositories (as 'mdbtools') too
[01:44] <hinojosa> Hi. I'm trying to boot my Acer Aspire One to Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook but am getting a boot error (follows)
[01:44] <janisozaur> r007, on one hand you say that it ask for my passwords for a reason, yet on the other hand you suggest such a 'solution'. please, make up your mind
[01:44] <janisozaur> asks*
[01:45] <r007> janisozaur create a root account and use su
[01:45] <hinojosa> (initramfs) mount: mounting aufs on /root failed: Invalid argument
[01:45] <janisozaur> r007, that's not a solution
[01:45] <hinojosa> and I'm left at the (initramfs) prompt
[01:45] <r007> sudo mount
[01:45] <hinojosa> suggestions?
[01:45] <r007> janisozaur be more specific then
[01:46] <janisozaur> r007, I want to permanently auhtenticate a specific action
[01:46] <miststlkr> I would like to assign a keystroke to "bring me to the desktop" rather than using the indicator.  I know how to set keystrokes up, but not the command to use.  could anyone help me out?
[01:46] <ubuntuguy> Can someone tell me how to restart my panel, I removed my battery and wifi icon by accident
[01:46] <muelli> miststlkr: ctrl+alt+d doesn't work for you?
[01:47] <janisozaur> ubuntuguy, $ killall gnome-panel
[01:47] <xangua> !panels | ubuntuguy
[01:47] <miststlkr> ah!   so it does.  Thanks muelli!
[01:47] <thunkee> Fredricho: my be better ... what do you want to do with that .mdb and .csv files?
[01:47] <Fredricho> ok
[01:47] <Fredricho> ok
[01:47] <hinojosa> are there known issues w/Ubuntu 10.10 for netbooks?
[01:47] <ubuntuguy> Error
[01:47] <ubuntuguy> Is that code correct?
[01:47] <Fredricho> convert them
[01:48] <janisozaur> ubuntuguy, it should just reappear, in case it doesn't, just execute "gnome-panel"
[01:48] <xangua> ubuntuguy: the on that i gave you, yes
[01:48] <xangua> one*
[01:48] <vinoo> my ethernet connection stops work just for some minutes after i turn my notebook on, i'm using 10.10, any idea?
[01:48] <ubuntuguy> Xangu, give code again, it didn't work
[01:48] <janisozaur> xangua, I believe he doesn't want to reset his panel and just restart it
[01:48] <muelli> vinoo: how do you know "it stops working"?
[01:48] <ubuntuguy> Said command not found
[01:48] <janisozaur> !tab | ubuntuguy
[01:49] <ubuntuguy> I'm so confused lol sorry
[01:49] <djwattz> muelli i did that it read it in the terminal where can i see it in the gui
[01:49] <ubuntuguy> Can I just get a code for terminal to restart panel
[01:49] <janisozaur> ubuntuguy, just execute "killall gnome-panel"
[01:49] <The_rogue_smiler> argh! I thought ubuntu was supposed to be fast! But these updates are clogging up my computer
[01:49] <ubuntuguy> Then what Jani?
[01:49] <edbian> The_rogue_smiler, please explain... ?
[01:50] <The_rogue_smiler> After each update, my computer runs a little bit slower
[01:50] <vinoo> muelli, it stops responding, it dont ping other computers in the network. i turn it off and it doesnt connect anymore
[01:50] <The_rogue_smiler> Even after I restart it
[01:50] <ubuntuguy> I want all my icons to reappear like they were from the beginning, my battery, my wifi etc
[01:50] <CeilingKitten> The_rogue_smiler, try Ubuntu Tweak ?
[01:50] <janisozaur> ubuntuguy, then wait for the panel to reappear (should be instantly). in case it doesnt, execute "gnome-panel"
[01:50] <The_rogue_smiler> What is ubuntu tweak?
[01:50] <ubuntuguy> It reappeared
[01:50] <ubuntuguy> but my icons
[01:50] <ubuntuguy> are there
[01:50] <ubuntuguy> my battery icon
[01:50] <ubuntuguy> etc
[01:50] <FloodBot3> ubuntuguy: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:50] <coz_> ubuntuella,   right click gnome panel and make sure you have the notification applet  on there
[01:50] <Fredricho> brb
[01:50] <ubuntuguy> I want to get my battery, my wifi etc icon to reappear
[01:51] <edbian> ubuntuguy, add the notification-area to your panel
[01:51] <janisozaur> ubuntuguy, or if you want to reset your panel to defaults, use what xangua suggested
[01:51] <coz_> ubuntuguy,   rather  for you   right click the gnome panel and make sure you have the notification applet on there
[01:51] <CeilingKitten> The_rogue_smiler, its a simple interface for changing system preferences, some may help with performance.
[01:51] <CeilingKitten> it has a package cleaner, startup cleaner, etc,.
[01:51] <coz_> ubuntuguy,  you want  Notification area  applet
[01:52] <ubuntuguy> Can you give me the code that xangua said
[01:52] <ubuntuguy> please
[01:52] <r007> janisozaur if you edit the sudoers file and ALL = NOPASSWD /path/to/binary for your user should work
[01:52] <xangua> !panels | ubuntuguy
[01:52] <jrmcm> i think i did this right http://paste.ubuntu.com/536125/
[01:52] <The_rogue_smiler> I also think it is worth mentioning that I clicked on openoffic word processor 20 minutes ago. it is still loading.
[01:52] <ubuntuguy> It keeps saying error :l
[01:52] <The_rogue_smiler> *openoffice
[01:52] <janisozaur> r007, please stop giving the 'solutions', of which implications you obviously have no idea.
[01:53] <r007> oh fuck off you stuck up twat
[01:53] <r007> only trying to help
[01:53] <IdleOne> !language | r007
[01:53] <mny> my network connection isn't working, when i type ifconfig -a it shows my network cards, but when i type ifconfig it only shows my loopback
[01:53] <r007> !flaming | janisozaur
[01:54] <office> how do i remove a system password entirely?
[01:54] <ubuntuguy> Can someone give me the code to reset my panel back to it's deafult
[01:54] <janisozaur> !panel | ubuntuguy
[01:54] <office> so that anyone can access
[01:54] <Braber01> what's the command to install skype?
[01:55] <ubuntuguy> !panel?
[01:55] <ubuntuguy> I just type that in
[01:55] <ubuntuguy> ?
[01:55] <ubuntuguy> Sorry I'm slow...
[01:55] <edbian> office, I think you're best bet is to create a user and have it auto-login
[01:55] <FloodBot3> ubuntuguy: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:55] <xangua> !partner | Braber01
[01:55] <xangua> first enable partner repositories and then just: sudo apt-get install skype
[01:55] <janisozaur> !panels | ubuntuguy
[01:56] <janisozaur> !info skype | Braber01
[01:56] <office> edbian is there really no way to remove a password?
[01:56] <edbian> office, I don't think you can have a user with no password.  As a guess, create a user and when you enter the password just press enter
[01:56] <r007> janisozaur try it and see
[01:56] <r007> smart A
[01:57] <slide> Is there any way to make a tmpfs or ramdisk that automatically backs up to the disk whenever possible? I just need the loading to be super fast
[01:57] <IdleOne> r007: please watch the attitude.
[01:57] <janisozaur> r007, will you please stop? I do know what this does. and this is not what i want.
[01:57] <r007> tell janisozaiour too please
[01:57] <IdleOne> janisozaur: skype is available from the Partner repo
[01:57] <ubuntuguy> When I typed that in terminal nothing happened...
[01:57] <tendo> how easy is it to install ubuntu onto an existing parallel's (windows emulation for mac) partition, without losing any other partition?
[01:57] <r007> janisozaur ok but me more clear what your asking then
[01:58] <ubuntuguy> I typed in exactly what you typed in...
[01:58] <djwattz> muelli u still here?
[01:58] <janisozaur> r007, I've already told you
[01:58] <muelli> yes
[01:58] <Braber01> is there some sort of command run to see what version of Ubuntu I'm running?
[01:58] <tendo> version
[01:58] <microm> does gnome have the kde and windows feature where you swing the window to the edge and it tiles the window automatically to take up half the screen?
[01:58] <janisozaur> r007, I want to permanently auhtenticate a specific action
[01:58] <muelli> Braber01: yes. lsb_release -a
[01:58] <edbian> Braber01, lsb_release -a
[01:58] <tendo> oh weird
[01:58] <djwattz> do u know i can access the card reader in gui
[01:58] <r007> janisozaur and the specific action is?
[01:58] <office> r007 try enabling parters & backports in the software sources, rebooting, and search the software center
[01:58] <office> in that order
[01:59] <thunkee> Braber01: http://tinyurl.com/36sffzp
[01:59] <janisozaur> r007, 'action' as in 'policykit action'

[02:01] <rinku_kokiri> allright guys, i used this how to  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=993376   and now wish to undo this command...    gksudo wminput <your wiimote's bluetooth address>
[02:01] <muelli> janisozaur: can you possibly edit smth in /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/? Have you had a look at the polkit-desktop-privileges?
[02:01] <rinku_kokiri> nvm i think i just did it by powercycling the wiimote
[02:02] <Flannel> janisozaur: Does https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sudoers not work for you?
[02:02] <jrmcm> Muelli: i ran sudo dmesg -c the results are here http://paste.ubuntu.com/536125/
[02:02] <janisozaur> Flannel, no, I want it done policykit way.
[02:02] <ubuntuguy> Well, I used a different code and got it, thanks anyways...
[02:03] <janisozaur> muelli, http://linux.die.net/man/5/policykit.conf leads leads me to think that policykit.conf is what I'm looking for, but there is no such file in my system
[02:03] <muelli> jrmcm: hm. didn't you have 3G problems? Or was it WiFi indeed?
[02:04] <muelli> janisozaur: hm. again, I'd check the polkit-desktop-privileges package.
[02:04] <muelli> !polkit-desktop-privileges
[02:04] <jrmcm> muelli: actually it supposed to be 4G
[02:04] <jrmcm> I have my wifi working fine
[02:04] <janisozaur> !info polkit-desktop-privileges | muelli
[02:05] <muelli> O_o
[02:05] <janisozaur> muelli, "apt-cache policy polkit-desktop-privileges" ?
[02:06] <muelli> janisozaur: just shut down the ubuntu machine. But it might very well be an old package again. Quickly googling suggests that the whole GUI thingy disappeared quite a while ago.
[02:07] <janisozaur> muelli, oh. I'll see into your previous suggestions, it looks promising. but right now it's quite late and I'm going to bed. thanks for your help
[02:08] <muelli> janisozaur:  here's some discussing reg the GUI https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/policykit-gnome/+bug/443265
[02:08] <r007> janisozaur why you cant do %admin ALL = NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown Ive no idea
[02:09] <capleton> hey, what's the offtopic channel?
[02:09] <muelli> !offtopic | capleton
[02:09] <janisozaur> r007, because this app could do many more things of which I want to allow it to do only one. are you satisfied now?
[02:09] <capleton> thnx muelli
[02:10] <r007> janisozaur ahh so its an app and not the user executing the command
[02:11] <janisozaur> r007, and please, don't just go around and flap your gums about things you don't know. at least make sure you know implications of your solutions.
[02:11] <r007> whateverrrrrrrrrr
[02:11] <rinku_kokiri> Anyone got a wiimote on their pc/laptop working?
[02:11] <r007> that gives admin users the ability to shut the box down without entering a password which is what you asked they still have to be authenticated in the admin group
[02:12] <r007> end off
[02:12] <rinku_kokiri> I would like to use my wiimote as a controller for an emulator WITHOUT the ir and accellerometer.
[02:13] <rinku_kokiri> afaik there are only two ways to run wminput, one involving ir and the other involving the accellerometer
[02:13] <rinku_kokiri> i would liek to run without both.. just a.b u d l r start and select
[02:13] <earthmeLon> When using LVM encrypion, is the goal to have the entire filesystem in said encrypted LVM, or do you only put certain mountpoints in it (like only /home/)?

[02:14] <helios_> I'm trying to install a program called BYOND. It says I'm missing a lib. the lib is in the directory
[02:14] <rinku_kokiri> I do not wish to use the wiimote as a mouse.
[02:15] <rinku_kokiri> i wish to use the wiimote as a controller
[02:15] <Flannel> rinku_kokiri: Right.  You can set up the config file however you'd like.
[02:15] <helios_> Can someone help me installing?
[02:15] <rinku_kokiri> and how do i connect it without using it as a mouse??
[02:16] <rinku_kokiri> as far as i can read, there's only two ways to run wminput...
[02:16] <Flannel> rinku_kokiri: Who cares what it shows up as.  If you disable the mouse linkage (the 'IR Pointer' stuff in that config file) then it won't provide any input to that, just the buttons
[02:21] <helios_> Can somebody help me with something?
[02:21] <fffffs> Supari, just download the kernel source
[02:21] <muelli> !ask | helios_
[02:23] <rinku_kokiri> So how do i disable the accellerometer stuff
[02:23] <rinku_kokiri> because i still don't get it
[02:23] <rinku_kokiri> i can either run the wminput in ir mode or accelerometer mode...

[02:27] <helios_> I need help with transfering a lib file to my lib folder
[02:28] <djwattz> does anyone know how to mount this internal sd card reader
[02:28] <ubuntu4shane> helios_: it is best to just install the libs you need through synaptic or apt-get
[02:29] <ubuntu4shane> helios_: it is probably not just so simple as moving a file to the lib folder, what lib do you need and why?
[02:29] <r007> hinojosa you dont have a mount point set on sda5
[02:29] <helios_> well
[02:29] <helios_> I'm trying to run a program called Byond
[02:29] <hinojosa> r007: okay, fair enough. How do I set that?
[02:29] <helios_> it says i need one of their libs
[02:29] <ubuntu4shane> djwattz: open the terminal and type: sudo fdisk -l
[02:29] <sfears> djwattz, i'm not sure how do go about finding the drivers.  but that's probably why you can't mount the sd reader
[02:29] <helios_> and it's in the directory

[02:29] <hiexpo> helios_, what lib
[02:30] <sfears> pieces, lsusb
[02:30] <r007> hinojosa during your partition setup it should give you an option to create a mount point set it to /
[02:30] <sfears> won't quite show com ports pieces but it will show some attached devices
[02:30] <helios_> hold on
[02:31] <pieces> sfears, thanks, but i need to figure out what com port a certain device is on so I can access it

[02:33] <pieces> sfears, i have the standard one that comes with ubuntu
[02:33] <ubuntu4shane> helios_: that is probably going to require compiling to correctly install it, you need to read the README file
[02:33] <hinojosa> r007: no.
[02:33] <sfears> and that's not doing what you need it to pieces ?
[02:34] <pieces> sfears, it connects to the device correctly but doesn't tell me what com port :(

[02:39] <Supari> ubuntu4shane one more question,do you happen to know any sites that have conf files to kernels ? I need a trimmed one with bare minimum so i can build it for appletv specifically...openelec has a conf file, but the issue with that is when i attempted to use that conf to compile a ubuntu kernel system didnt boot.

[02:40] <teng0803> does anyone know how to fix this: ubuntu kernel: [ 4446.088101] ata1: device not ready (errno=-16), forcing hardreset ?
[02:40] <ubuntu4shane> Supari: not right off hand, I haven't messed with building kernels or conf files for kernels in over a year
[02:41] <hinojosa> r007: tell you what - I'm gonna check my md5checksum and maybe download this again and remake the usb startdisk. Thank you for your help though. I may be back.
[02:41] <hiexpo> helios did you read the read me
[02:41] <hiexpo>  
[02:41] <teng0803> does anyone know how to fix this: ubuntu kernel: [ 4446.088101] ata1: device not ready (errno=-16), forcing hardreset ?
[02:42] <ubuntu4shane> teng0803: are you getting that error on an installed version? or booting off CD or USB?
[02:43] <hiexpo> helios_, put the file in home dir  unzip it  open terminal cd it type make
[02:43] <teng0803> ubuntu4shane, installed one
[02:43] <r007> hinojosa it sounds like its booting from the hd and not the install media tbh
[02:43] <ubuntu4shane> teng0803: did it happen right after install?
[02:43] <hiexpo> if gives you errorslet use see what they are   [ pastebin it
[02:44] <ubuntu4shane> teng0803: or after an upgrade?
[02:44] <^Mike> How can I stop ~ from being expanded in my shell? I have already put set expand-tilde off in ~/.inputrc
[02:44] <teng0803> i actually started collecting logs when i started experiencing random freezes
[02:45] <teng0803> like for few seconds, i can sometimes move my mouse but no use at all. everything freezes for few seconds then poof all back to normal
[02:45] <jrmcm> how do you change the number of lines shown in the terminal?
[02:45] <hinojosa> r007: hrm. It shows the Ubuntu splash screen though - it's accessing the USB startdrive, but it's hacking up a lung.
[02:45] <ubuntu4shane> teng0803: I'm not really sure about the error, I have seen similar errors, but usually after I messed something up with grub
[02:45] <psusi> ^Mike, why would you want to, and where did you read about .inputrc?  I don't think that's right
[02:45] <teng0803> any advice what to check?
[02:45] <ubuntu4shane> jrmcm: you mean scroll back?
[02:45] <teng0803> sorry im very new to linux and ubuntu :((
[02:45] <jrmcm> yes
[02:45] <^Mike> psusi: Because it's annoying. I saw this... all over the place. that's what expand-tilde supposedly does - but turning it off has no effect
[02:46] <ubuntu4shane> teng0803: I'm not sure, can you boot into recovery mode?
[02:46] <teng0803> and then observe?
[02:46] <^Mike> psusi: 'expanded' meaning 'expanded for tab completion'... it still means $HOME (well, a souped-up version of $HOME)
[02:46] <ubuntu4shane> jrmcm: it is in the preferences, let me find it for you, I always change that.
[02:46] <jrmcm> ubuntu4shane:thx
[02:47] <ubuntu4shane> teng0803: I would try and run an update and see if there are any updates to fix it.
[02:47] <hinojosa> r007: is there a way to mount the thing via the initramfs prompt, then move forward?
[02:47] <ubuntu4shane> jrmcm: Profile Preferences -> Scrolling tab
[02:48] <helios_> hiexpo: thank you :D
[02:48] <teng0803> ubuntu4shane: yes ive downloaded and installed lots of updates already but still the same. i've tried googling it and found some notes saying that it might be pertaining to some kernel issues. found some same complaints even on earlier versions :(
[02:48] <psusi> ^Mike, ahh
[02:48] <Pun1sh3r> oR
[02:49] <ubuntu4shane> teng0803: ooh, so you are actually able to boot into the system?
[02:49] <teng0803> yes. but then at random im getting freezes
[02:49] <teng0803> and when i checked the logs that's what it says
[02:50] <ubuntu4shane> teng0803: oooh, ok, I see, I didn't think it was booting.  is this new hardware?  I mean like recently bought computer?
[02:50] <r007> hinojosa what happens when you press esc at boot
[02:50] <FishFace> teng0803: I was getting that for a while. But I have a MS wireless mouse. Seems I don't get the freezes when batteries are over 50% charged.
[02:50] <r007> hinojosa can you get a grub menu?
[02:50] <hinojosa> r007: let's find out.
[02:50] <teng0803> no it's been my laptop since 2005 :P but i've been using it with windows xp with no issues at all. Only with ubuntu that im getting this random freezes :(
[02:50] <syn-ack> FishFace, Same thing happens with my Logitech
[02:51] <r007> hinojosa remove quiet splash from the kernel arguments
[02:51] <vance> what is this
[02:51] <r007> hinojosa if you can
[02:51] <FishFace> syn-ack: Yep. So I have rechargables. Not a real big deal.
[02:51] <ubuntu4shane> teng0803: I hate to say it but sounds like a hardware incompatibility, something is not working right, and perhaps it is the kernel not working right with the hdd, but I'm not certain, and not sure how to troubleshoot it
[02:51] <hinojosa> r007: ttrying again
[02:52] <vance> whats going on
[02:52] <ubuntu4shane> teng0803: what version of Ubuntu are you using?
[02:52] <jrmcm> ubuntu4shane: ok i have a scrolling tab, can i change the number of lines i can go back? I am try to debug a few things
[02:52] <teng0803> uhm let me check
[02:52] <teng0803> Linux ubuntu 2.6.35-23-generic #40-Ubuntu SMP Wed Nov 17 22:15:35 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
[02:53] <ubuntu4shane> jrmcm: scrolling tab???  You should be able to set either the amount of line numbers or you can set memory limits like 1mb or something like that.
[02:53] <ubuntu4shane> teng0803: Oh, I meant, 10.10 (Maverick) or 10.04 Lucid lynx?
[02:53] <teng0803> Maverick
[02:53] <vance> what is this???
[02:54] <hinojosa> r007:I can't seem to be able to get a grub menu - pressing esc at boot only brings up the language selection part of the install
[02:54] <ubuntu4shane> teng0803: ok, give me a minute, let me check something
[02:54] <teng0803> thanks so much :D
[02:54] <adito> join #philosophy
[02:54] <jrmcm> ubuntu4shane: ok i must have been in the wrong place where can i find profile preferences?
[02:55] <adito> commands
[02:55] <r007> hinojosa its defo booting from usb then hav you tried disabling the lpaic
[02:55] <teng0803> jrmcm: on the terminal window go to edit then preferences
[02:55] <ubuntu4shane> jrmcm: my bad, it is Edit -> Profile Preferences -> Scrolling tab
[02:55] <virstulte> is it a bad thing if I just enjoy dropping by and listening to linux noobs ask silly questions because they can't find www.google.com?
[02:56] <mongrul> im here for the same thing
[02:56] <hinojosa> r007: it is default booting from the USB. I have not tried disabling the lpaic - tbh, not sure what is.
[02:57] <jrmcm> ubuntu4shane and teng0803: thanks all i found it now. :)
[02:57] <jeremiah_> as a linux noob i can enjoy both sises
[02:57] <jeremiah_> sides*
[02:57] <jrmcm> lol im learning even if im not asking all the time :)
[02:58] <Kholby> I have an hp photosmart d110a AIO and I'm having trouble getting scanning to work on Ubuntu 9.10.
[02:58] <virstulte> always good to learn a thing or two, true dat
[02:58] <^Mike> oh yay, ubuntu clobbers your readline settings in bash_completion /o
[02:59] <Zack> i'm attempting to install ubuntu (10.10).  it does not appear to be letting me to install to free (unpartitioned) space.  is this impossible?
[02:59] <jeremiah_> Has anyone had the thought of hacking into there kinect yet
[02:59] <r007> hinjosa can you boot command line install?
[02:59] <hinojosa> r007: I'm using the install utils from help to run a check on the the disk and memory - disk was fine
[02:59] <r007> hinjosa think its c then add cli at the end
[03:00] <hinojosa> hmm - not sure ho wot get to that prompt
[03:00] <virstulte> Zack: how many partitions do you already have?
[03:00] <r007> hinjosa might be a or c
[03:00] <banker247> can i run ubuntu off a usb stick if my computer doesn't have an HD? ;)
[03:00] <r007> hinjosa its a on centos
[03:01] <Zack> sda1(ntfs), sda2(ntfs), free space, sda4(ntfs)
[03:01] <Zack> 1 is SYSTEM and 4 is RECOVERY.
[03:01] <hinojosa> r007 - k, well - let me wait for the memory check to finish, then I'll see what options exist. Is there a way to escape to the command line boot?
[03:01] <virstulte> what about sda2?
[03:02] <Zack> virstulte - 383gig windows install.
[03:02] <r007> hinjosa on the initial splash screen you should be able to press c
[03:02] <Kholby> Anyone gotten a Photosmart AIO to scan in Ubuntu 9.10?
[03:02] <hinojosa> r007 - ah - k, I'll try that. Thank you.
[03:03] <r007> hinjosa I got to go to bed now have work in a few hours but good luck
[03:03] <virstulte> Zack - I'd say it might be because you can only have 4 primary partitions. Linux typically needs 3: a boot, a swap, and the OS
[03:03] <hinojosa> r007 - ok, thank you again, I appreciate the assistance.
[03:03] <virstulte> so 3 + the 3 you need is 6
[03:04] <Zack> virstulte - it says "no root file system is defined".. is that an error one is likely to recieve for that problem?
[03:04] <virstulte> Zack - I think it's having a tough time figuring out what to do, since your unallocated space is in the middle of your drive
[03:05] <Zack> virstulte - i have also installed EasyBCD (via .exe on windows side).
[03:05] <virstulte> What the ubuntu install likes to do is take a hard drive that is solid NTFS and split it, putting linux in the back half
[03:05] <ubuntu4shane> teng0803: ok, I'm not sure if this is going to help, but open synaptic, and in the quick search put linux-image,  try and install the 2.6.35.22 kernel and boot off that and see if that helps
[03:05] <Zack> virstulte - how do you suggest i continue? I cannot get rid of my windows install, but i do not know what the purposes of the SYSTEM and RECOVERY are.  I'm fairly certain I have windows recovery turned off..  if i don't i meant to.
[03:05] <virstulte> well, you shouldn't worry about easyBCD, cause GRUB is going to take over anyway if you install ubuntu
[03:06] <virstulte> I'd suggest expanding your windows partition to fill the unallocated space and installing via Wubi
[03:06] <ubuntu4shane> teng0803: you can also try to re-install the 2.6.35.23 kernel and see if that helps.  It is definitely a kernel/hdd error, I googled and found some stuff, but no real solutions right off the bat,
[03:06] <teng0803> ubuntu4shane: i had that kernel before i updated to .23 just this morning :D
[03:06] <ubuntu4shane> teng0803: ok, and problems with that kernel too?
[03:07] <virstulte> It's pretty solid, and as long as you don't try and do too many hacky things with it, it's kinda tough to break.
[03:07] <Pun1sh3r> wpa2 ccmp pwn
[03:07] <teng0803> uhm so far on the .23 haven't got it since i joined this chat. i but i looked at the syslog.1 msgs i ran from tail and saw the same error msgs took off while im sleeping :P
[03:08] <teng0803> yeah, can't find solid fix notes as well online :(
[03:08] <ubuntu4shane> teng0803: are you shutting the computer down, or hibernating it?
[03:08] <teng0803> nope, i just left it running
[03:09] <teng0803> after i downoaded and installed .23. I slept for a while why system is running then when i woke up i checked the syslog.1 file
[03:09] <ubuntu4shane> teng0803: I'm not sure, hope the .23 kernel works better for you
[03:09] <teng0803> and got those errors also
[03:09] <ubuntu4shane> teng0803: you did reboot after installing the .23 kernel right/
[03:09] <ubuntu4shane> ?
[03:10] <teng0803> good thing as per logs, they've reoccured on once/hr :D
[03:10] <teng0803> yep
[03:10] <ubuntu4shane> teng0803: hmm, 2005 you said?
[03:10] <teng0803> hahahaha
[03:10] <teng0803> yeah it's old
[03:11] <ubuntu4shane> teng0803: backup your data, could be a hdd failure coming your way
[03:11] <teng0803> but based on the online comments i've been seeing that error has been there since 2007
[03:11] <Collapsed> hello
[03:11] <Pun1sh3r> ello
[03:11] <teng0803> and all they were saying is to hope for next kernel update :P also it stops whenever there's a cd in my drive
[03:11] <teng0803> just like the workaround given on some forums
[03:12] <teng0803> but no real fix though
[03:12] <doc-saintly> Which package would you guys suggest for as a JRE on ubuntu?
[03:12] <ubuntu4shane> teng0803: I would be prepared for a hdd failure though, 5 years for a hdd, depending on usage is average lifespan.
[03:12] <xangua> !java | doc-saintly
[03:12] <Aciid> doc-saintly: closed source one (official)
[03:12] <Jordan_U> teng0803: Check the drive
[03:12] <Aciid> works best for most apps
[03:12] <doc-saintly> thanks guys
[03:13] <Frijolie> generally speaking any external USB HDD will work with Linux, right? I'm worried that if i purchase a drive it will not be recognized by the computer. Does it have to meet any specific specs?
[03:13] <Jordan_U> teng0803: ... The drive's SMART status in System > Administration > Disk Utility.
[03:13] <teng0803> ok im doing that now Jordan
[03:13] <teng0803> thanks
[03:14] <Jordan_U> Frijolie: Correct. All USB drives should work with linux.
[03:14] <FishFace> Frijolie: No worries. I have 3 from different manufacturers. All good.
[03:14] <jrmcm> can i ask about evolution in here?
[03:14] <ubuntu4shane> Frijolie: I have used quite a few, and never ran into one that doesn't work, so probably 99% of them would work with LInux, there may be an odd ball one out there that may not
[03:14] <teng0803> @Jordan,anything i need to check?
[03:14] <Frijolie> alright, so the file formatting doesn't matter?
[03:14] <ubuntu4shane> Frijolie: google what you are looking at buying before buying. :)
[03:15] <ubuntu4shane> Frijolie: actually, I formatted my ntfs external to ext3 for compatibility.
[03:15] <ubuntu4shane> Frijolie: but I use Linux 100%, no windows.
[03:15] <draven_sol> anyone familiar with booting a degraded encrypted raid?
[03:15] <^Mike> Does anyone know why the cpan shell on ubuntu uses ~/.local/share/.cpan instead of ~/.cpan?
[03:15] <Frijolie> they normally come formatted as NTFS, i just wanna be able to take it back and forth to work
[03:16] <prong> Obama destroyed the united states with socialism
[03:16] <Frijolie> Linux at home and Windows at work
[03:16] <doc-saintly> I do an apt-cache search sun-java  <- all this returns is javadb entries
[03:16] <Zack> okay so accidentally keeping an ntfs formatted SD card in the slot while trying to properly format my disks and install linux? bad idea.
[03:16] <^Mike> prong: He did?! I haven't read the newspaper yet today...

[03:19] <fffffs> doc-saintly, install jdk from oracle website
[03:19] <teng0803> @ jordan and Ubuntu4shane. Just got off from the same freeze :P
[03:20] <doc-saintly> ubuntu4shane: to run,
[03:20] <doc-saintly> fffffs: thanks, i'll try that if i find that openjdk doesn't work for me.
[03:20] <doc-saintly> thanks for your help guys

[03:21] <daniell> does anybody help me with packaging using deb-helper..regarding rules file
[03:21] <ubuntu4shane> teng0803: what did the SMART say about the hdd?
[03:22] <ubuntu4shane> daniell: are you trying to package?
[03:22] <teng0803> disk has a few bad sectors :p
[03:22] <ubuntu4shane> teng0803: back up and enjoy the ride
[03:22] <teng0803> hehehe
[03:22] <daniell> ubuntu4shane: ya
[03:22] <ubuntu4shane> teng0803: it is all down hill from here.
[03:22] <teng0803> thanks Ubuntu4shane and Jordan :D
[03:22] <ubuntu4shane> !packaging
[03:22] <ubuntu4shane> daniell I think it is #ubuntu-packaging
[03:23] <teng0803> gtg guys
[03:23] <teng0803> thanks for the advices
[03:23] <ubuntu4shane> daniell they can help you
[03:23] <ubuntu4shane> teng0803: no prob
[03:23] <daniell> ubuntu4shane: ;-).. okiez.. thanx...
[03:23] <teng0803> have a great day/night ahead
[03:23] <daniell> ubuntu4shane: tcz..
[03:23] <^Mike> How can I make my cpan shell use ~/.cpan instead of ~/.local/share/.cpan? I can change the values in the cpan shell's config, but the location of the config file itself seems to be hardcoded :(
[03:24] <ubuntu4shane> !tcz
[03:25] <Zack> I have free space I wish to install Ubuntu on.  I believe I do this by creating a new partition first?  It's been a while since I've done a lot with partitions.. I want to be able to boot from it, obviously.  Should it be Primary or Logical?  And for "use as:" should I leave it as Ext4 journaling file system, or change that? Thanks! =]
[03:26] <^Mike> Zack: Yes, you'll need to create at least one new partition. ext4 is fine.
[03:27] <^Mike> Zack: I recommend having 3: one for /, one for /home, and one for swap. However, that's a bit complicated, perhaps you prefer simplicity of using just one partition
[03:29] <Collapsed> two partitions... one for / and another for swap
[03:29] <Collapsed> that is the most basic way
[03:30] <Zack> ./ being root?
[03:30] <Dulak> Putting /home on it's own partitions makes a clean install much easier down the road
[03:30] <daniell> with #debian-packaging
[03:30] <Zack> i'm not sure how i would differentiate the parts of the install.
[03:30] <Collapsed> yeah...
[03:30] <Zack> all i know is the manager just asks for a place to install..
[03:31] <daniell> #packaging
[03:31] <Collapsed> set small partition for SWAP and another one for system on /
[03:32] <Collapsed> that will be formated in ext3
[03:32] <Collapsed> SWAP no need format i belive
[03:32] <Zack> both logical?
[03:32] <Collapsed> yeah
[03:32] <Zack> how big? just a few gigs?
[03:33] <Collapsed> i left 1gb for swap
[03:33] <Collapsed> and ubuntu on 20
[03:33] <Dulak> I have 2g swap, 30g /, and the rest on /home
[03:34] <Collapsed> yeah it deppends
[03:34] <Collapsed> but it's the same thing...
[03:34] <Collapsed> deppends on the user
[03:34] <crawler> hi.  what is the terminal command to show which version of a package that's installed?
[03:34] <Zack> should these be on a separate 'partition table'than my windows install?
[03:35] <Collapsed> yes
[03:35] <Collapsed> then grub will auto detect windows on sda1
[03:35] <Collapsed> for multi OS selection
[03:35] <Zack> sda1 is some 208mb 'SYSTEM' partition. i don't even know what it is, but i'm afraid to delete it.
[03:36] <microm> I can't get my wireless network to ping outside my LAN (the same computer booted in Windows or Gentoo is able to ping outside my LAN).
[03:36] <Zack> the only way the 'new partition table' button is selectable is if i select dev/sda .. and that would overwrite the entire disk, which i don't want to do.
[03:37] <Dulak> Zack same partition table as existing stuff, the SYSTEM partition is probably your manufacturer's restore or diagnostic tools
[03:37] <Collapsed> yep...
[03:37] <Zack> i already deleted the RESTORE partition.
[03:38] <Dulak> then it's the diagnostic tools
[03:38] <Collapsed> why dont you back up everything and start over?
[03:38] <Collapsed> i mean with windows
[03:38] <Zack> doesn't seem necessary
[03:38] <Zack> if i can distill it down to a single partition
[03:39] <abstrakt> why might I want to choose the MIT license over say the GPL3
[03:39] <rww> ubottu: ot | abstrakt
[03:39] <abstrakt> rww, it's not really that off topic... ubuntu is free software
[03:40] <abstrakt> there's no #license channel that I know of
[03:40] <Collapsed>  i dont understand your question... then
[03:40] <rww> abstrakt: It's not an Ubuntu support question. As ubottu said, try #ubuntu-offtopic.
[03:40] <Collapsed> i got it late i think
[03:40] <abstrakt> rww, well, you said it, using ubottu :)
[03:40] <crawler> hi.  what is the terminal command to show which version of a package that's installed?  apt-cache showpkg <package name> is a bit too verbose..i would simply like to print the version of a given package.  isn't there a simpler way?
[03:40] <abstrakt> ubottu is a bot
[03:41] <Braber01> I disabled gdm how do i make it so I have internet acess at my login shell?
[03:42] <Zack> my sda1, 200mb, SYSTEM partition is labeled as 'boot'. >.>

[03:46] <iszak> Is there any way to "pin" a window to the task bar that prevents it from being closed conventionally?
[03:47] <Zack> can i replace my windows boot partition (not the system partition, just the small partition it uses to boot) with GRUB /before/ installing UBUNTU and use it to boot to windows?
[03:48] <Jordan_U> Zack: That small partition is called the system partition, "C:" is not the system partition. No, the system partition is required for windows to boot.
[03:49] <Zack> i shouldn't have used the word 'system'...  so even with Grub i'll need that?
[03:49] <Jordan_U> Zack: Yes.
[03:49] <Zack> =[ oh. alright. thanks.
[03:49] <Jordan_U> Zack: You're welcome.
[03:49] <crawler> iszak: i'm not exactly sure what you're asking, but if you use compiz, the ccsm has some Window Management settings.  it might be a good place to start
[03:49] <silvioalmeida> 7list
[03:49] <tr1pl3x> info crawler
[03:49] <silvioalmeida> 7list
[03:50] <silvioalmeida> dasss
[03:50] <crawler> tr1pl3x: why do you want my info?
[03:50] <Jordan_U> silvioalmeida: Stop that.
[03:50] <rww> silvioalmeida: something we can help you with?
[03:50] <tr1pl3x> I mean i want some info regarding those that you mention earlier
[03:50] <shmup> i cannot seem to kill my java process
[03:50] <shmup> using htop
[03:50] <shmup> using 100% of the cpu right now ~.~
[03:51] <silvioalmeida> thank you rww bad seq of keys
[03:51] <crawler> tr1pl3x: what did i mention earlier that you want info about?
[03:51] <silvioalmeida> lame stuff
[03:51] <Zack> for what reason might one put / and /home on different partitions?
[03:52] <iszak> crawler, ccsm?
[03:52] <tr1pl3x> about ccsm and compiz
[03:52] <rww> !ccsm
[03:52] <iszak> right, got it.
[03:52] <iszak> already installed.
[03:52] <Jordan_U> Zack: To make it easier to share one /home with multiple distributions.
[03:52] <quietone> how do I get s-video out to my tv working. all i get is a blank screen
[03:52] <Zack> what, exactly, is /home, if you don't mind me asking?
[03:52] <crawler> iszak: also, the ccsm you can make a window rule to have non-closeable windows
[03:52] <rww> Zack: the place where per-user settings and your documents are stored
[03:53] <Dulak> Zack to seperate your settings and data from the rest of the distro, it makes a clean install of a new version very easy, you just don't format the /home partition on the new install
[03:53] <maco> Zack: it's a directory, and inside it there is a directory for each user's "home directory" -- their documents, pictures, videos, etc go in there
[03:53] <iszak> crawler, that's cool, thanks.
[03:53] <rotham> rww:  How can I add in a "do not match" parameter?
[03:53] <crawler> iszak: you're welcome, good luck :)
[03:53] <maco> Dulak: you also dont need to put it on a separate partition to save its contents if you use ubuntu
[03:53] <Zack> i'm currently at the 'allocate drive space' part of an ubuntu install off of a livecd.  how mighti  go about setting that up? with /home and / separate?
[03:54] <silvioalmeida> rww: but since you asked, do you by any chance know of a solution similar to apple's aggregate device in ubuntu?
[03:54] <rww> rotham: grep works per-line, so if you use it, it'll match all lines that don't have whatever you search for
[03:54] <maco> Zack: you would go to manual partitioning and make a partition for / and one for /home
[03:54] <rww> grep -v "text to not find" file
[03:54] <Dulak> maco: ??  if it's not it's own partition a clean install would wipe /home, what are you talking about?
[03:54] <rww> silvioalmeida: I don't know what "apple's aggregate device" is
[03:55] <rotham> ahh ok
[03:55] <maco> Dulak: not for 2 years, in ubuntu
[03:55] <rotham> lol
[03:55] <maco> Dulak: in manual partition mode, you select the same partition, hit "edit" and uncheck the "format" box -- your /home's contents will be saved
[03:55] <crawler> Zack: yes, what maco said..it will allow you to specify the mount points / & /home
[03:55] <iszak> that's freaking cool crawler, thanks a lot.
[03:55] <Dulak> maco: that's exactly what I said, only longer
[03:55] <Zack> maco, i'm currently in the manual partitioning.. i see how to make a swap partition.. should i just make two more ext3 and it will ask me to separate them later?
[03:55] <maco> Dulak: no it's not
[03:55] <crawler> iszak: :)  yes, lots of things to play around with in the ccsm
[03:56] <maco> Dulak: you said it has to be a separate partition
[03:56] <Zack> or rather, to assign them?
[03:56] <maco> Dulak: i'm saying if you just have / and you choose not to format / then itll not delete the contents of home
[03:56] <silvioalmeida> itś a virtual layer that abstracts multiple sound cards and are viewed as one with multiple audio ports
[03:56] <maco> Zack: if you make 2 ext3's itll ask you what mount point for each of them. you pick / and /home from the dropdowns
[03:57] <Dulak> maco: why would you bother with a clean install if you aren't going to wipe it all?  That's actually kind of retarded, might as well just use update-manager instead.
[03:57] <maco> Dulak: because you want /etc/ to be wiped but not /home/ ?
[03:57] <Jordan_U> silvioalmeida: That can be accomplished with pulseadio, though I don't personally have experience setting it up.
[03:57] <Jordan_U> sipherdee: Try asking in #pulseaudio
[03:57] <mongrul> LOL
[03:57] <Dulak> maco: split /home to it's own partition
[03:57] <rww> Jordan_U: mistab, try Guest56415
[03:58] <rww> yay name changes.
[03:58] <Guest56415> thank you Jordan_u
[03:58] <maco> Dulak: but you dont need to. thats my point
[03:58] <Zack> and /home would be the smaller one that just contains settings and documents?
[03:58] <maco> Dulak: if you put it on a separate partition, and you made / the wrong size, its a pain in the rear to change
[03:58] <iszak> crawler, heh nearly got hurt by a nasty bug.
[03:58] <maco> Zack: usually /home is larger...
[03:58] <Dulak> Zack:  /home should be most of the disk really, it's where most of your non-distro data will be
[03:58] <crawler> iszak: what happened?
[03:59] <Zack> oh.. so / is the part that stays behind through distro wipes and reinstalls?
[03:59] <Dulak> maco: yer fond of the hard way, it's ok
[03:59] <iszak> For some reason when using the "grab" command and pressing "add" it didn't add anything thus the value was empty and applied for everything - everything became full screen and couldn't alt + tab so I had to kill things to get back to the main window.
[03:59] <maco> Zack: for me, i use 10GB / for non-developers, 15GB for developers, the rest /home (minus swap)
[03:59] <_TexNick_> Zack : I just got here, so I've missed some of your conversation ... but if you're adding ubuntu to an existing windows installation ... this link explains the win boot.ini file and how to access / modify it ... http://vlaurie.com/computers2/Articles/bootini.htm
[03:59] <maco> Dulak: i'm pretty sure mine's the easy way
[03:59] <Dulak> Zack: no / gets wiped, /home stays
[03:59] <maco> Dulak: you dont need to repartition if you estimated 5GB for / and it turns out to be 7
[03:59] <maco> Dulak: your way, you do have to repartition. that sounds like the hard way to me
[04:00] <maco> (yes, ive had to repartition because i was using 2 partitions and / got to be too small)
[04:00] <Dulak> maco: sure, until your 'not-clean' clean install screws up a library, or something and you get to spend time troubleshooting it while my system hums along, never any traces left from the last install
[04:00] <crawler> iszak: ohh that sounds bad indeed..you might consider filing a bug for that
[04:00] <maco> if it's all one partition, you don't have to worry about it. and since ubuntu won't delete /home if you tell it not to format, you dont have to worry about losing stuff on clean installs
[04:00] <maco> Dulak: how would a saved home directory screw up a library?
[04:01] <maco> Dulak: unchecking 'format' on / is *exactly* the same as using a /home partition in terms of the cleanness of install. the ONLY difference is never having to repartition
[04:01] <BuenGenio> hello
[04:01] <Dulak> maco: if you don't format, it copies files on top of themselves, there is no delete step in the install.  You end up with multiple versions of say libraries, and other cruft
[04:02] <BuenGenio> how come spamassassin is giving most of the mail especially low scores
[04:02] <DrewQ> hey, i'm  new to ubuntu. just installed the 10.10 netbook version. have a really stupid question, anyone wanna help?
[04:02] <maco> Dulak: im pretty sure the installer has an explicit "delete everything except /home" step it does if you choose not to format. thats how it sounded when explained on ubuntu-devel mailing list 2 years ago
[04:02] <Zack> okay.. so.. /home holds most of the stuff and / would just hold the necessary distro files, allowing me to basically update/wipe my distro (in case i mess it up) without damaging my files, settings, etc?
[04:02] <crawler> !anyone | DrewQ
[04:02] <Dulak> maco: Uh-huh.
[04:03] <Dulak> maco: pretty sure is not good support
[04:03] <maco> Dulak: if you wait a bit, i'll look up the mailing list thread. i dont have it cached on disk anymore
[04:03] <Dulak> maco: I don't think I'd trust my data to 'pretty sure' but hey that's me.
[04:03] <maco> Dulak: well we know for sure your data's not being touched. what you're left asking is whether /etc's contents are really deleted first
[04:03] <DrewQ> Ok, how does one add icons to the "launcher" menu on the left hand side of the screen?
[04:04] <Macstheyjustsuck> Is there a way to turn on/off caps lock without the button? I started Vbox with it on and now it's reversed IN the box (light on = caps off, vice versa)
[04:05] <Macstheyjustsuck> button being Caps Lock button on keyboard*
[04:05] <crawler> Zack: yes, as i understand it, that is the basic idea of having / & /home on 2 seperate partitions.
[04:05] <Zack> alright. thanks. i appreciate it.
[04:06] <maco> Dulak: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-discuss/2008-May/004243.html  (the reply has the user saying that actually, yes, they did choose to format /home, so the bug evan worries may exist in the email does not in fact exist)
[04:06] <studentz> DrewQ  type in a terminal    alacarte
[04:06] <maco> Dulak: evan and colin are core developers. colin works on the installer (not sure about evan)
[04:07] <maco> Dulak: what they say in that list posting is that everything but home gets deleted
[04:07] <Zack> should i set the device for bootloader installation to / or /home?
[04:07] <oatcake> hello all, i'm using 9.04 and want to upgrade to 10.10 . does installing it delete all the data on my current 9.04?
[04:07] <rww> Zack: /
[04:07] <Zack> thnaks
[04:07] <rww> or, wait
[04:07] <Jordan_U> Zack: No, neither.
[04:07] <rww> isn't that supposed to just go to /dev/sda?
[04:08] <Zack> Eh. Whoops.
[04:08] <Dulak> maco: I concede the point, you win.  Preach your easy way that I wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole all you like.  I promise to laugh when it bites you on the ass.  G'luck.
[04:08] <Jordan_U> Zack: You should select the mbr, which would be something like "/dev/sda" rather than something like "/dev/sda1".
[04:08] <studentz> oatcake NO but always make a backup of your files.
[04:08] <Very_Cool> where do i find out what options were used to compile samba for ubuntu?  Im trying to add one and don't want to add problems by forgetting another option
[04:08] <maco> rww: yes
[04:09] <oatcake> studentz it keeps your files intact then?
[04:09] <rww> d-i always just asks if I want to install to the MBR, so I forget these things ;(
[04:09] <Zack> mm..  just hard powered down. i'll try that next time. =]
[04:09] <studentz> oatcake yep
[04:09] <firewaterburnz> does anybody know how to edit the database in mythbuntu to allow a sceenie or image to be displayed for a directory containing episodes of shows?
[04:10] <oatcake> wow i didnt realise, thanks studentz. i haven't got much really, i'll just back up my bookmarks and a few files perhaps!
[04:10] <studentz> oatcake Please do not be lazy  Make a backup of all your docs, files,
[04:10] <oatcake> lol
[04:11] <BuenGenio> anyone using SpamAssassin??
[04:11] <RoDiMuS-X> Unity or Gnome-shell whats the preference here?
[04:11] <firewaterburnz> coverart, does anyone know how to edit coverart in mythbuntu?
[04:11] <oatcake> most important stuff i copy to dvd data i dont think i have much to lose, the only hassle is setting up a ssh server again. and i'm not really brainy at computers
[04:11] <maco> RoDiMuS-X: try 'em both, see what you like?
[04:11] <RoDiMuS-X> maco: I have
[04:12] <RoDiMuS-X> I want to see what other people like
[04:12] <maco> in that case:  *raises hand for plasma-netbook*
[04:12] <RoDiMuS-X> LOL
[04:13] <rww> I don't like any of these three things ;(
[04:13]  * RoDiMuS-X raises hand for gnome-shell
[04:14] <crawler> firewaterburnz: not sure, but can you locate the database file?  maybe ~/.mythbuntu?  then maybe we can help
[04:14] <firewaterburnz> ok, will try
[04:16] <crawler> firewaterburnz: also, see this (a bit outdated, but possibly still relevant): http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-889753.html
[04:18] <firewaterburnz> ty crawler, I will read this and then see if I can connect to it
[04:18] <crawler> firewaterburnz: ok, good luck
[04:19] <MTecknology> Is it possible to see if my OOo Writer document is missing a font that it expects to have available and what it's selecting instead?
[04:19] <crawler> firewaterburnz: one more thing, you might have better luck asking in the myth-tv channel.  type /join #ubuntu-mythtv
[04:19] <firewaterburnz> k ty
[04:19] <maco> MTecknology: there's a font substition section in the OOo options
[04:21] <studentz> Should I uninstall  OO before install Libre Office ?
[04:22] <MTecknology> maco: I found that section but see nothing in there. I reinstalled my system and I know there's a font I had installed that isn't available right now
[04:22] <Don9307> Does anyone use the Eclipse SDK with the EPIC Perl Integration Perspective?
[04:22] <RoDiMuS-X> Studentz: I have both installed and no problems
[04:23] <Four2zero> hello everyone.
[04:23] <cr1984> I finally got fed up with reading forums to try to solve my problem... I guess they don't have the solution to everything :/. Can anyone help me install a particular NIC that doesn't want to behave using ifconig or ethtool when they get the chance?
[04:23] <andrew[andrboot]> Hi guys dumb question, trying to load mod_rewrite in apache and & i get ERROR: Module rewrite does not exist! | any ideas?
[04:23] <studentz> RoDiMuS-X  thanks. Did you use a ppa or deb pkg ?
[04:23] <_Tristan> so am I the only man on earth with ubuntu on a samsung qx410?
[04:24] <RoDiMuS-X> studentz: the deb pkg
[04:24] <_Tristan> andrew[andrboot]: try #httpd
[04:24] <Flannel> andrew[andrboot]: andrew[andrboot] Is rewrite.load in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ ?
[04:24] <Don9307> Anyone use Eclipse?
[04:24] <MTecknology> andrew[andrboot]: a2enmod rewrite
[04:24] <Don9307> Anyone use Eclipse SDK to program in Perl?
[04:25] <RoDiMuS-X> Don9307: I used Eclipse
[04:25] <RoDiMuS-X> Don9307: Not Perl
[04:25] <Don9307> Did you integrate EPIC into Eclipse?
[04:25] <cr1984> This should've been easy to install considering it's a 3com Etherlink Card, but Ubuntu doesn't want anything to do with having me manually update it's settings
[04:25] <Four2zero> i did a clean install of my ubuntu and now when i am updateing the repository i have receieved an error: http://pastebin.com/rBvdrEy1
[04:25] <RoDiMuS-X> Don9307: No
[04:25] <Four2zero> is there fix for this ?
[04:25] <Don9307> Okay.  Thanks.
[04:26] <RMatt> how the heck do i use this?
[04:26] <Don9307> If anyone uses the EPIC perspective with the Eclipse SDK, I have a problem I need help with.
[04:26] <_Tristan> anybody using a samsung qx410?
[04:27] <cr1984> Anybody know how to update a 3com NIC using Ubunu?
[04:27] <crawler> RMatt, just type your question for all to see :-)
[04:27] <slide> Can anyone point me to setting up a new partition to be encrypted (at a system level) and use it for my user home
[04:27] <RMatt> Okay, its kinda complex.
[04:27] <slide> to a guide i mean
[04:29] <andrew[andrboot]> @ Flannel it doesn't excist
[04:29] <crawler> _Tristan: what seems to be the problem with your computer?
[04:29] <andrew[andrboot]> @ MTecknology thats the error i get running that command
[04:29] <eigen> What file is the path variable stored in?
[04:29] <Don9307> Anyone using Eclipse to write PERL programs?
[04:29] <_Tristan> crawler: touchpad recognized as a normal mouse
[04:29] <maco> andrew[andrboot]: what about in mods-available/ instead of mods-enabled/ ?
[04:29] <RMatt> so my dad got me an ubuntu live disk. I put it in, get to the very end of the install, and it stops. Cant do anything. So my step dad tells me to eject the disk and reboot. Well, ubuntu hadnt finished, and i cant overwrite the original partition. What should i do?
[04:30] <maco> RMatt: cant overwrite? why not?
[04:31] <RMatt> I have no idea how. I think i have to delete the original partition, but im not sure how to do that.
[04:31] <RoDiMuS-X> RMatt: delete the partition and create a new one
[04:31] <Don9307> Is anyone using the Eclipse software package to write Perl programs?
[04:31] <RMatt> how big should i make it?
[04:31] <Flannel> andrew[andrboot]: It should exist in /etc/apache2/mods-available, if it doesn't, you've got a packaging issue that we'll need to address.
[04:31] <andrew[andrboot]> @ maco checked that.. not there either
[04:31] <andrew[andrboot]> Flannel nope
[04:31] <Four2zero> anyone know why i cant update a repository ? http://pastebin.com/vQW0NLzk
[04:32] <RoDiMuS-X> RMatt: you can use the whole thing or just a portion the choice is yours
[04:32] <crawler> Don9307: you might have some luck asking in the Eclipse channel.  type /join #eclipse
[04:32] <Flannel> andrew[andrboot]: Not in -available?  Alright, is this the first time you've installed Apache? or did you remove it and reinstall it, etc, etc?
[04:32] <maco> andrew[andrboot]: is apache2.2-common installed?
[04:32] <Don9307> Didn't know there was an Eclipse channel.  Thanks crawler.
[04:32] <crawler> sure thing, good luck
[04:33] <Four2zero> i have tryed to do sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-extras-keyring
[04:33] <RMatt> can you give me a short step by step of how to do that? i almost wiped my entire hard disk last time i tried.
[04:33] <Four2zero> but it still gives me the same error.
[04:33] <andrew[andrboot]> @ Flannel no way the first time heh. just as confused as you might be
[04:33] <andrew[andrboot]> @ maco yeap defintly. already running nagios on here no problems
[04:34] <andrew[andrboot]> i did upgrade it from a version recently to lts
[04:34] <andrew[andrboot]> heh
[04:34] <Flannel> andrew[andrboot]: I'm not confused, I know why it's happening though.  Last time you removed (or at some point during your removals) you deleted those files manually, that's what's causing this.
[04:34] <maco> andrew[andrboot]: well that file is part of that package, so... i suggest sudo aptitude reinstall apache2.2-common
[04:34] <andrew[andrboot]> i think 9
[04:34] <RoDiMuS-X> RMatt: give this a read https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html
[04:34] <andrew[andrboot]> mhmk
[04:34] <FloodBot2> andrew[andrboot]: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:34] <RMatt> thanks.
[04:35] <RoDiMuS-X> NP
[04:36] <andrew[andrboot]> maco i did a re-install, and still no rewrite module

[04:46] <krunal> okay - btw i want to thank you guys who continue to support ubuntu on here to all those who are new to linux - someitmess people are really rude when you ask questions but you guys are not at all
[04:47] <AegNuddel> Does anybody know how libbarry (blackberry for Linux) works?
[04:50] <crawler> sarthor: have you tried logging out & in?
[04:50] <krunal> maco, these keys.... what are they for?
[04:50] <sarthor> crawler, yes, several times
[04:51] <crawler> sarthor: are you able to choose the font in firefox preferences > content > fonts?
[04:51] <maco> krunal: verifying that the package that is downloaded is what the computer expected. that means A) it wasnt a corrupt download B) it was uploaded by an official developer and C) it's the most recent
[04:52] <krunal> maco, that makes perfect sense... so it ensures autheticity and file integrity?
[04:52] <maco> krunal: C is usually the bit where things fail. that is, there's a new version on the server, and your computer remembers the signature of the old one and so has to warn you that either a new one was uploaded (an update) or someone's faking something
[04:52] <maco> krunal: yep
[04:52] <netterbooker> hello
[04:52] <sarthor> crawler, yes, i can do that, but there are seveal options, which one to choose?
[04:52] <krunal> maco, so all "approved" developers for Ubuntu have keys for all the software they develop
[04:52] <Anthony___> Hello?
[04:53] <netterbooker> hi i have a support question
[04:53] <Anthony___> i can help
[04:53] <netterbooker> more like an installation question....
[04:53] <Anthony___> shoot
[04:53] <netterbooker> ok
[04:53] <maco> krunal: we have keys that allow us (and only us..um or someone who steals our keys and tortures our passwords out of us..which would be bad) to submit source packages to the build servers which then sign the binary packages
[04:54] <mrbox>  up vnc ubuntu 10.10 desktop or server
[04:54] <mrbox> can someone link to tutorial
[04:54] <netterbooker> would i be able to install ubuntu on my netbook with a card reader that connects via usb ... id be putting it on an sd card
[04:54] <maco> krunal: if a source package is not signed by an official dev, the build server will reject it
[04:55] <crawler> sarthor: i'm not sure, but possible uncheck "Allow pages to choose..." in the advanced font options
[04:55] <Anthony___> netterbooker , yes i think you can
[04:55] <netterbooker> ok
[04:55] <mrbox>  can someone link to tutorial up vnc ubuntu 10.10 desktop or server
[04:56] <netterbooker> ok... should i use the pen drive program and just treat the sd card as if it was a usb stick?
[04:56] <krunal> btw is there a better program than rdesktop? to connect to windows comptuer using rdc
[04:56] <sarthor> crawler, i am already there in firefox, edit prefrecens, contents, and then in advance
[04:56] <crawler> mrbox: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC
[04:57] <AegNuddel> How do I run libbarry software?  Do I need to have the blackberry plugged in first?
[04:57] <crawler> sarthor: well, there is where you want to set your fonts.
[04:58] <sarthor> crawler, there are proportions, Serif sans-serif Momospace, and that all are changeable, which one have to change,
[04:59] <sarthor> crawler, these are like dropdown menus, but i do not know which read or act in browsers fonts.
[05:01] <crawler> sarthor: hmm..not sure, never used different fonts before.  i imagine it would take some experimentation.  maybe someone else knows
[05:01] <crawler> AegNuddel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/Blackberry
[05:01] <netterbooker> if i am to go about installing from my card reader should I format the sd card like i would a usb drive? (sorry for asking again my helper left)
[05:02] <AegNuddel> ok it does not say much...it is all installed though
[05:03] <AegNuddel> but I tried executing the things it said were installed and it kept saying not found
[05:03] <sarthor> crawler, OK. thanks for the time, you people always help, Thanks.
[05:04] <diz_Child> O:
[05:04] <diz_Child> quit
[05:04] <netterbooker> can someone help me?
[05:04] <crawler> AegNuddel: there is also this page with more info: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Blackberry%20Sync%20with%20Ubuntu
[05:05] <breadcrumb> hi
[05:05] <netterbooker> hi
[05:05] <Guest59393> hi]
[05:05] <crawler> !ask | !someone | netterbooker
[05:06] <crawler> ..oops
[05:06] <netterbooker> how would i go about installing ubuntu from my card reader
[05:07] <crawler> netterbooker: i imagine you would have to be able to first boot from your card reader.  no idea if BIOS even support that funtion (i'm not aware of cutting edge technology)
[05:08] <netterbooker> ok im going to see if thats possible
[05:08] <crawler> netterbooker: why not install it using a USB stick?
[05:09] <netterbooker> i have one somewhere around here but ive got loads and loads of sd and compact flash cards (photographer)
[05:09] <zani> yesterday I saved a text with open office, and today when I opened it it was blank. How can it be possible?!
[05:10] <zani> is there a way to revover the text that I saved yesterday?
[05:11] <zani> it is a shame.
[05:11] <crawler> netterbooker: there's also PXE boot if your BIOS supports it, so you can install ubuntu over the network (provided you have 2 somputers connected)
[05:11] <Haddem> does anyone know if you how to install lib32 on my centos 5.5?
[05:12] <crawler> zani, go to the folder where it is saved and press Ctrl+H.  see if there are any hidden backup files made (sorry i'ts my only suggestion)
[05:12] <karthick87> How to install insight debugger in maverick?
[05:12] <TheSarge> I cannot seem to get totem or VLC to playback DVD video? Usually it asks me if I want to search for availible plugins after first install, but now I just get "Unable to read from resource." After it spins up the disk?
[05:12] <netterbooker> cool that might take some time for me to figure out... its an asus 1005ha btw
[05:13] <zani> no, there's nothing on the hidden file..
[05:13] <crawler> TheSarge: i believe you need to install livdvdcss2 & libdvdread to playback DVD's.  see this page for further info: http://medibuntu.org/
[05:14] <zani> uff I'm really fuc**d now
[05:14] <zani> well thank you anyway bye
[05:14] <TheSarge> crawler: I am trying ubuntu-restricted-extras, then I will try your suggestion. Thanks.
[05:14] <AegNuddel> ok
[05:15] <AegNuddel> will have to use one of the blackberries
[05:15] <AegNuddel> hmm
[05:18] <cong> tar -xzvf sam.tar.gz ./
[05:18] <cong> tar: .: Not found in archive
[05:18] <cong> tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
[05:19] <cong> what does this mean?
[05:21] <slax00> I am having problems with my alfa network in ubuntu, their connection is more bad than with windows xp
[05:23] <slax00> happened to someone the same?
[05:25] <ProtiK> netterbooker: If you can boot from a flash drive, you can boot from a card reader.
[05:26] <cong> any different between flash drive and card reader?
[05:26] <netterbooker> ok
[05:26] <Jordan_U> cong: When both are connected via USB no.
[05:26] <ProtiK> You could basically think of it as a flash drive with swappable memory, really.
[05:28] <netterbooker> i have under my boot menu in bios a list of "hard disk drives" .... the flash is recognized "USB:Single Flash R"
[05:28] <netterbooker> it also lists a cd rom drive... weird
[05:29] <Jordan_U> netterbooker: Due to annoying "advances", that may actually be your printer.
[05:29] <netterbooker> interesting
[05:30] <Jordan_U> netterbooker: Many printers, and other USB devices which are not CDROM drives, pretend to be a CDROM drive containing the windows drivers to actually use the device as it's intended.
[05:30] <looseparts> I want to upgrade from 8.10 to 10.4 but keep GRUB and exclude GRUB2 - can I do this from the command line using apt-get upgrade ?
[05:31] <looseparts>  upgrade from 8.10 to 10.4 but keep GRUB and exclude GRUB2 - can I do this from the
[05:31] <looseparts>                     command line using apt-get upgrade ?
[05:32] <looseparts> oops - sorry for the double post - fingers...
[05:35] <ChaoRhi> Okay, I'm having a problem doing the offline upgrade with the maverick iso
[05:36] <ChaoRhi> I'm upgrading from Lucid to Meerkat using the alternate CD
[05:37] <ChaoRhi> since my DSL connection is far from adequate for a internet-based dist-upgrade
[05:38] <ChaoRhi> It proceeds normally if I tell ./cdromupgrade to use networking to get up-to-date packages
[05:38] <ChaoRhi> but if I don't, it errors out
[05:39] <durga913> hello
[05:40] <White-Horse> can someone please help me remove apple quick time v7.6.8 from wine v1.3.x
[05:40] <ChaoRhi> White-Horse: Odd, it shouldn't be able to install in the first place
[05:40] <White-Horse> there seems to be a bug in the uninstaller
[05:41] <rlee123> I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 and my desktop background keeps changing, how do I prevent that?
[05:41] <White-Horse> it installed with no proms. at all
[05:41] <Jordan_U> !wine | White-Horse
[05:41] <White-Horse> but now i can not uninstall it
[05:41] <gaelfx> how can I find a list of the possible owners for any file on my system?
[05:41] <vashman> rlee123: check your wallpaper settings
[05:41] <ferris_> rlee123, right click on the desktop and change the background
[05:42] <White-Horse> thanks
[05:42] <ChaoRhi> rleel123: Yep. Make sure you're using a wallpaper and not something that doesn't look like a stack of wallpapers
[05:42] <Jordan_U> gaelfx: A file can only have one owner with standard Unix permissions. I don't understand what exactly you want.
[05:42] <rlee123> ah ok, it's a theme thing that keeps altering the background
[05:42] <rlee123> thanks
[05:43] <ChaoRhi> does anyone know how to dist-upgrade using just the alternate cd?
[05:43] <jondowd> Hello. I want to upgrade from 8.10 to 10.4 but keep GRUB and exclude GRUB2 - can I do this from the command line using apt-get upgrade ?
[05:43] <gaelfx> Jordan_U: yeah, I know, but I want to change the owner, but I'm not sure what the correct name is, so I need a list of the names I can actually assign as the owner, know what I mean?
[05:43] <ChaoRhi> I keep trying it but I get an error
[05:44] <rinku_kokiri> ChaoRhi, funny, quicktime installed fine... no errors, except a screen going black
[05:44] <jordan> Hi
[05:44] <ChaoRhi> Never mind, ./cdromupgrade now decides to cooperate...
[05:44] <FenrirReturns> I've googled and can't seem to find how I rearrange shells inside screen.  For example make screen 0 screen 1 or screen 2 screen 3.  Any ideas?
[05:44] <jordan> Can anyone help me get SDL set up to work in an IDE?
[05:45] <ChaoRhi> rinku_kokiri: I've never got it to work at all using wine
[05:45] <rinku_kokiri> all i did is set the executable bit and it installed fine
[05:45] <ChaoRhi> FenrirReturns: Are you using a GUI or the CLI?
[05:46] <ChaoRhi> rinku_kokiri: same here, never worked.
[05:46] <sujith> ram
[05:46] <ChaoRhi> rinku_kokiri: besides, I have medibuntu installed
[05:46] <Jordan_U> gaelfx: There is probably an easier way, but this should do it: awk -F: '{ print $1 }' /etc/passwd
[05:46] <FenrirReturns> ChaoRhi: I'm running screen in an Xterm
[05:46] <FenrirReturns> ChaoRhi: Basically I just want to change the window order, if that makes sense.
[05:47] <ferris_> is there any danger in closing port 161 (snmp) port?
[05:47] <ferris_> strike that last q
[05:47] <ChaoRhi> FenrirReturns: Ah.
[05:47] <netterbooker> it worked! :)
[05:48] <rinku_kokiri> ChaoRhi, i see the issue though, when you go to uninstall, it acts as if it's installing
[05:48] <sujith> how i can use my gnome more effictively
[05:49] <linguinii> #ubuntustudio
[05:49] <ferris_> realeyes, I installed firestarter... it can't hurt to install a firewall... I would/did.
[05:49] <fffffs> sujith, expalin yourself
[05:49] <jondowd>  C
[05:49] <rootlinuxusr>  do-release-upgrade states 'No New Release Found' status set to normal, not 'never' or 'lts' only, the system is 9.04 trying to upgrade to 10.04. Any ideas?
[05:49] <fffffs> ferris_, firestarted is abandoned and not tha firewall
[05:49] <sujith> how to get wine for ubuntu10.10
[05:50] <fffffs> sujith, winehq.org
[05:50] <maco> ferris_: the iptables firewall is there by default, as is the easier-to-use command line configuration interface for it, ufw. firestarter is just an unmaintained graphical  configuration interface for it
[05:50] <hauk142> i use firestarter
[05:50] <fffffs> sujith, version in repo is shit
[05:50] <maco> ferris_: gufw is a maintained one
[05:50] <jondowd> ChaoRhi: http://aperiodic.net/screen/quick_reference
[05:50] <fffffs> why that crap is in repository then?
[05:50] <hauk142> never bothered to learn about iptables.....
[05:51] <ChaoRhi> rootlinuxusr: Try going 9.04 -> 9.10 -> 10.04.1 LTS
[05:51] <rinku_kokiri> http://hubpages.com/hub/Ubuntu-Offline-Upgrade
[05:51] <rinku_kokiri> rootlinuxusr, Please note that you CANNOT jump versions when doing an upgrade.
[05:52] <ferris_> maco,  I will check it out. thanks for the point in the right direction...
[05:52] <rinku_kokiri> U must go 8.04 to 8.10, 8.10 to 9.04, 9.04 to 9.10, 9.10 to 10.04, 10.04 to 10.10, 10.10
[05:53] <maco> rinku_kokiri: you can jump *some* versions
[05:53] <rww> rinku_kokiri: actually, you can upgrade LTS to LTS, so it's 8.04 to 10.04, 10.04 to 10.10.
[05:53] <maco> rootlinuxusr, rinku_kokiri:  8.04 -> 10.04 is valid
[05:53] <hauk142> o hey anyone know how to install BF2 Standalone server on ubuntu server 10.10???
[05:53] <ChaoRhi> rootlinuxusr was trying to go 9.04->10.04
[05:53] <Chaorain> I'm trying to install my hvr-2250 is anyone familiar with this card?
[05:54] <rootlinuxusr> Which is what I'm trying to do, so how would I get it to even recognize that 9.10 or 10.04 is available(it's currently 9.04'd)
[05:54] <ChaoRhi> !Networking | Chaorain
[05:55] <jordan> anyone here?
[05:55] <jordan> Hi
[05:55] <jordan> I need a little help
[05:55] <ferris_> hello jordan
[05:55] <Chaorain> ChaoRhi: um its a TV tunner, I found some information but I could use some help
[05:56] <jordan> I'm trying to set up SDL to work with an IDE in ubuntu
[05:56] <jordan> But I can't get it to work on any of them...do you know anything about it?
[05:56] <rootlinuxusr> !Networking | rootlinuxusr
[05:58] <ferris_> jordan, I can't help with that... i do not know what sdl is or what it does.
[05:58]  * frostthejack hmmm
[05:59] <ferris_> jordan, what is sdl?
[05:59] <ferris_> !sdl
[05:59] <jordan> it's a graphics program for c++
[05:59] <jordan> not  a program, but a library.
[06:00] <lankapo_> hi
[06:00] <jordan> Stands for Simple Direct-media Layer
[06:00] <rootlinuxusr> What's the cli command to detect network interfaces?
[06:00] <rootlinuxusr> lspci?
[06:00] <jordan> yes
[06:00] <rigved> !info sdl
[06:00] <netterbooker> can some one point me to a doc for setting up duel boot with the advanced install
[06:01] <jordan> But don't I have to set up the linkers and stuff?
[06:01] <jordan> BTW, package sdl does exist. Lol
[06:02] <Zack> When i attempt to 'reload' the package manager i get the error "W: An error occurrsed during the signature verification.

[06:03] <rootlinuxusr> http://pastebin.com/0y1Qh84n Get this from lspci, one of these have a Cat6 cable, is there a way to detect which is plugged in - trying to setup ifconfig, i think it's not upgrading because i can't ping google. >_> but I can ping locally.
[06:03] <ferris_> netterbooker,  if you start your pc with the ubuntu disk press the down arrow key and you will see a language menu... press the "esc" key and then choose install... the only real dangerous part is during the partitioning of the drive.
[06:03] <Zack> thanks.. i'll try that.. results from google are not helping. >.<
[06:04] <netterbooker> yes.. i am to the partitioning part
[06:04] <ferris_> pm me. I can help you through it
[06:05] <netterbooker> k thanks!
[06:05] <Zack> Thanks maco! You're my hero. ^.^
[06:05] <maco> np
[06:06] <Zack> i kind of also accidentally buttoned through the window telling me about upgrades - does edit>mark all upgrades auto find all upgrades? or is there another way to do that?
[06:07] <Ycarene> Is there a way to downgrade the nvidia drivers from the 260.19.21 version to the 195.36.24 version?
[06:07] <jordan> You wouldn't wanna do that
[06:07] <jordan> It will cause a lot of display problems
[06:07] <Jeremiah_> Hey all quick ? how would u  find out why u got banned from a channel
[06:07] <lea123> My sound recorder doesn't seem to work in 10.10 Anybody having a clue how to set it up ? It works perfectly fine in Vista
[06:08] <Ycarene> Jordan I'm having a lot of "display" problems now
[06:08] <Ycarene> jordan the way to fix it is to downgrade
[06:08] <jordan> You sure?
[06:08] <jordan> I don't know how to whisper or w/e
[06:08] <Ycarene> Yes
[06:09] <Ycarene>  /msg
[06:09] <Ycarene> Or do I just uninstall what I have and manually install the drivers I need?
[06:09] <jordan> I know how
[06:12] <ubuXubu> Jeremiah_, in channel run the info command which willshow the channel founder, then memom
[06:13] <ubuXubu> memo that person
[06:14] <glebihan> Jeremiah_: if it's an ubuntu channel, you can ask on #ubuntu-ops
[06:14] <rww> glebihan: I don't think it is, though I've been wrong before.
[06:17] <linuxuz3r> !unity
[06:17] <APS-IN> hi
[06:17] <Jeremiah_> !info #backtrack-linux
[06:17] <APS-IN> hi is it possible in vim to split a window where i can see a file and command prompt on a same window?
[06:17] <APS-IN> I am new to vim
[06:18] <ChaoRhi> !vim | APS-IN
[06:18] <wakkarto> i have gefore gt 240 and install the driver for linux from nvidia.com. it works well until i apt-get dist-upgrade to update the latest ubuntu kernel and now my pc can no longer run X (no GUI) just text mode like a server. i am running ubuntu 10.10 btw. any ideas?
[06:18] <ChaoRhi> Bleh, that didn't work as intended
[06:18] <rww> Jeremiah_: users with the ident "root", like yourself, are banned from #backtrack-linux. You may just want to change your ident/username (not nickname) in your IRC client and reconnect to freenode.
[06:19] <humanMeat> anyone ever configured squid with openvpn?
[06:19] <anon33_> for some reason, clicking the lock in Date & Time doesn't unlock it for me
[06:20] <anon33_> is there a way to quickly amend this problem?
[06:20] <humanMeat> bah. all i can find in Google are unanswered single post threads about squid/openvpn
[06:21] <solofight> rww: :)
[06:21] <APS-IN> thanks #ubottu i know that vim is a terminal based editor but I am confused that is it possible to split the terminal in two part where I am access both the file and the terminal(command prompt) so that I don't have to switch to other terminal to work on console.
[06:22] <epiderm> спецы по seo тут есть?)
[06:22] <maco> !ru | epiderm
[06:22] <Daniel0108> hi
[06:22] <epiderm> sry
[06:22] <rww> solofight: hello :)
[06:23] <owen1__> i try to install ubuntu 10.10 on macbookpro. how to get to the bios to tell it to boot from a cd?
[06:24] <solofight> people i want to install 3 os on my laoptop, ubuntu 64 bit, windows xp and windows 7 64 bit, i have faced the situation of installing linux first and then the windows os and my linux dosent appear in the boot menu options. So wanted to confirm here before proceeding. I would like to have two choices initially ubuntu and windows and default boot as ubuntu if a choice has not been made for x...
[06:24] <solofight> ...seconds... and if the choice made was windows, i would like to give them option to choose xp or windows 7 in the next screen with default boot as 7
[06:24] <solofight> so how do i proceed ?
[06:24] <solofight> kindly suggest
[06:25] <nomad99> !grub | solofight
[06:25] <rww> solofight: I'd probably do Windows XP, then Windows 7, then Ubuntu, but I haven't done this before and am not at all a dualbooting expert.
[06:26] <Primedeath> I was wondering if I was able to install Ubuntu onto my USB HDD's secondary partition that I made. Or would I have to devote the entire drive for it, or would I have to make the ext4 partition the first partition?
[06:26] <solofight> rww: yeah in any order is ok, but how to ?
[06:26] <solofight> 1. ubuntu 2. windows if 2 selected 1. xp 2. win 7
[06:27] <Primedeath> Pokes,
[06:27] <solofight> or any order for that matter, but want the windows under a single tag
[06:27] <venilsurya> How well does Windows 7 run in VirtualBox?
[06:28] <karthick87> How to install insight debugger in maverick?
[06:29] <karthick87> venilsurya: yes windows 7 will run in virtual box
[06:29] <Primedeath> No, how well does it.
[06:29] <Primedeath> Of course it does.
[06:29] <solofight> venilsurya: wrong place to ask, how well is completely depend on your hardware i guess. virtual box already eats memory
[06:29] <nomtv80> not as well as dual boot
[06:29] <venilsurya> Well, I can allocate 1GB of RAM and 20GB hard disk space
[06:30] <solofight> venilsurya: nomtv80++
[06:30] <Primedeath> Do you need it for Netflix? =-p
[06:30] <Primedeath> Haha.
[06:30] <owen1__> i can't figure out a way to boot macbookpro from 10.10 cd. i tried ubuntu, xubuntu and xubuntu alternate cd. nothing works. any ideas?
[06:30] <Primedeath> venilsurya, you'll be fine.
[06:30] <venilsurya> Primedeath: Thanks - I don't NEED it for anything. Just want to try it out
[06:30] <karthick87> venilsurya: I am using windows7 in my virtualbox and it works fine.But the only thing is it eats your RAM
[06:30] <Primedeath> Just a suggestion, if you have the space on a second HDD.. I would use that.
[06:31] <venilsurya> Primedeath: I'm going to do exactly that
[06:31] <Primedeath> Pfft, then it'll run just fine.
[06:31] <varun> hello everyone
[06:31] <Primedeath> :]
[06:31] <varun> varun here
[06:31] <varun> question about ns2
[06:31] <Primedeath> Really? I thought your nick was MormonJesus.
[06:31] <solofight> whats the selective advantage of using it for netflix ?
[06:31] <Primedeath> As you need to.
[06:31] <Primedeath> Silverlight 4. =-p
[06:31] <varun> I want to remove it but dont know how installations go on in ubuntu
[06:31] <varun> anyone have a little time to look into this problem?
[06:32] <karthick87> varun: what you want to do??
[06:32] <solofight> Primedeath: was that reply for me ?
[06:32] <Primedeath> Anyone know how to properly install Ubuntu onto a USB HDD? Does the install have to be on the primary partition on the HDD? Does it matter?
[06:32] <Primedeath> Yes sol326.
[06:32] <Primedeath> solofight*
[06:32] <Gnea> !ask | varun
[06:32] <Primedeath> Need Windows to use Netflix, other than Mac OSfail.
[06:32] <solofight> silverlight 4 cannot be installed in xp ?
[06:32] <Primedeath> It can.
[06:33] <theotol> hi all, is it possible with jollicloud to get acces to my local network?
[06:33] <Primedeath> Version of Windows was irrelevant to the Silverlight 4 comment.
[06:33] <solofight> understood
[06:33] <Gnea> Primedeath: mythtv can do netflix
[06:33] <Primedeath> Gnea, yeah but that's because of a deal between those two.
[06:33] <solofight> so whats the alternative we have for silverlight in linux
[06:33] <Primedeath> As far as I know it's closed source and you cannot replicate it on other machines.
[06:33] <Gnea> Primedeath: mythtv works in ubuntu. therefore, ubuntu can do netflix.
[06:33] <lwizardl> hello
[06:33] <Primedeath> solofight, Moonlight.
[06:34] <Primedeath> Doesn't have version 4 though.
[06:34] <nomtv80> @primedeath http://www.pendrivelinux.com/installing-ubuntu-to-a-usb-hard-drive/
[06:34] <solofight> So moonlight cannot support the netflix ?
[06:34] <Primedeath> Not from my use.
[06:34] <rww> solofight: no
[06:34] <Gnea> Primedeath: as if taking up more resources just to run it in a vm is any better?
[06:34] <rww> solofight: You can't do netflix instant watch on Linux. It uses DRM that makes it impossible.
[06:34] <Primedeath> ^
[06:34] <Gnea> Primedeath: keep in mind that this is Ubuntu, not Debian, so certain licensing restrictions aren't frowned upon here.
[06:36] <Gnea> what's actually key is that the mythflix plugin was dropped, so.... nevermind :)
[06:36] <lwizardl> I was wondering how can I take a computer and make use of the restore function to do what I want on a computer. Example since I have had to replace the factory hard drive on this machine. How can i take the F12 key which would start the HP restore program if I had that partition and make it function as something else like starting Gparted for example
[06:36] <rootlinuxusr> I've yet to get netflix working, even after hiding user agents.
[06:36] <Dr_Willis> rootlinuxusr:  how are you even trying to get netflix working?
[06:36] <Dr_Willis> rootlinuxusr:  only way ive seen to do it is to use vortualbox + windows.
[06:36] <magicjoe> JordanU: are you out there?
[06:37] <varun> sure I will try again.I have ubuntu intrepid ibex and have ns-allinone-2.34 installed where the "which ns"gives me this answer /home/varun/ns-allinone2.34/bin/ns and now I want to unistall it but getting no hints from the web.Should I just delete the directory to remove.I followed this link to install--  http://nsnam.isi.edu/nsnam/index.php/Installing_ns2.31_on_Ubuntu7.04
[06:37] <Primedeath> @nomtv80 : Can it be on any partition on the HDD though? It's a 1TB External.
[06:37] <rootlinuxusr> Was commenting on their attempts to use moonlight
[06:37] <glebihan> lwizardl: don't think you'll be able to do that, it would mean modify the bios
[06:37] <solofight> lwizardl: i think you can use the key reassign feature mapped to a executable <= just an idea never done it myself before
[06:37] <magicjoe> anyone want to walk me through a wubi install fix?
[06:37] <Primedeath> rootlinuxusr: I had it working, in a way. It would connect, but then it would crash.
[06:37] <Primedeath> I would see it start loading.
[06:38] <Primedeath> ...
[06:38] <rootlinuxusr> The movie or the player?
[06:38] <Primedeath> No DCC.
[06:38] <nomtv80> sorry, I'm no to irc
[06:38] <Primedeath> The player.
[06:38] <nomtv80> new*
[06:38] <Dr_Willis> Primedeath:  from what i read the thing uses the DRM features of  MS's silverlight. so moonlight cant handle it.
[06:38] <Primedeath> They are working with the community apparently to eventually get one out.
[06:38] <solofight> glebihan: there are restore programs which are capable of doing that, but yeah it might have to touch some elements of bios
[06:39] <Dr_Willis> Primedeath:  i would be suprised at that. :) plesantly suprised
[06:39] <rootlinuxusr> Yeah, probably because it tries to access the DRM features embedded into the video, or the video stream and crashed because moonlight doesn't have handlers for that
[06:39] <rootlinuxusr> I wish they'd just use HTMLv5....
[06:39] <Primedeath> Nah, it's mostly because it's based off of Silverlight 3.
[06:39] <lwizardl> solofight, would that key reassign be an option inside the bios I can change while booted into the edit screens or on the OS ?
[06:39] <Primedeath> NF is using Silverlight 4.
[06:40] <varun> anyone who could answer the question I posted above
[06:40] <Dr_Willis> dosent really matter to me much any more. I cancled my Nflix account. - lack of linux sypport was one reason.
[06:40] <Dr_Willis> !ibex
[06:40] <Primedeath> Calm down varun. I am still trying to get an answer to mine.
[06:40] <Primedeath> Heh.
[06:40] <nomtv80> Primedeath: it shouldn't matter what partition, as long it's the correct type
[06:40] <Primedeath> nomtv80, okay.
[06:40] <Gnea> Dr_Willis, Primedeath: there's a petition to get Netflix to support Linux
[06:40] <solofight> lwizardl: i was not mentioning a bios setting which you can reassign, i am talking about a boot script which can place a layer between the usual startup procedure
[06:40] <owen1__> i can't figure out a way to boot macbookpro from 10.10 cd. i tried ubuntu, xubuntu and xubuntu alternate cd. nothing works. any ideas?
[06:40] <Primedeath> Pfft, petitions do nothing.
[06:40] <Gnea> only if ignored
[06:41] <Primedeath> nomtv80: Is it possible to do all of this within a VM? So I don't have to stop, funny enough, watching Netflix?
[06:41] <Dr_Willis> varun:  if you did ./confiogure, make, make install.. to install it. you could do a 'make uninstall' perhaps to remove it properly
[06:41] <rigved> owen1: do you get a blank screen everytime you try to boot
[06:41] <lwizardl> solofight, hmm never tried anything like that before, would Grub have that as an option ?
[06:41] <Dr_Willis> Primedeath:  virtualbox and windows xp = netflix worked.
[06:41] <Primedeath> Gnea, all they need to do is put anything with "Linux" to the spam folder.
[06:41] <Primedeath> Dr_Willis indeed.
[06:41] <Gnea> Primedeath: that's why there's a web-based petition that can't be put into the spam folder, duh
[06:42] <Primedeath> They can just not go to it.
	lwizardl: i think you can use the key reassign feature mapped to a executable <= just an idea never done it myself before
[06:42] <Gnea> almost 10k signatures
[06:42] <lwizardl> solofight, ok thanks I think i'll look into that tho
[06:42] <Gnea> Primedeath: it would be bad business for them to ignore that many people.
[06:42] <Primedeath> What you need to do is petition MS.
[06:42] <solofight> lwizardl: I just know its feasible, but havent done it yet
[06:42] <rigved> owen1__: do you get a blank screen everytime you try to boot
[06:42] <Primedeath> Gnea, they have millions of others.
[06:42] <solofight> haven't*
[06:42] <Gnea> wrong. MS doesn't provide the service.
[06:42] <varun> Dr willis thanks .Does this mean the makefile might have code for uninstall.But I will try this first and get back to you in a min.
[06:43] <nomtv80> Primedeath: should work, go for it
[06:43] <Dr_Willis> varun:  thasts a common 'feature' in source code.
[06:43] <Primedeath> MS provides the software.
[06:43] <Dr_Willis> varun:  you should really Upgrade. your reelase is past its EOL.
[06:43] <Primedeath> You hassle MS to make a Linux form.
[06:43] <nomtv80> haven't tried myself though
[06:43] <Gnea> Primedeath: wrong, MS can't do it, they have no access to the UNIX patents.
[06:43] <karthick87> Is there a GUI tool to configure LDAP client??
[06:43] <Dr_Willis> !ldap
[06:44] <Primedeath> They created Silverlight, how can they not do anything?
[06:44] <Gnea> if it's not patented, they can't make money off of it
[06:44] <Gnea> therefore, Netflix is the only logical target to make it happen.
[06:44] <humanMeat> how do you figure out your local ip address?
[06:44] <Dr_Willis> MS is also (from what ive heard) downlplaying silverlight now.. in a few years. it may be a dead project.
[06:44] <Dr_Willis> humanMeat:  'ifconfig' shows it.
[06:44] <Gnea> humanMeat: right-click on network manager icon, then on 'connection info'
[06:45] <humanMeat> ssh
[06:45] <varun> Dr Willis thanks again and I am thinking of doing that for sometime but I did not do the earlier install and I am not very old on ubuntu and I dont want to mess up the system but I think I should do it
[06:45] <humanMeat> silverlight was always dead
[06:45] <humanMeat> never alive
[06:45] <nomtv80> ^^
[06:45] <Gnea> if MS is smart, they'll start selling IP to adobe to improve flash to support netflix
[06:45] <humanMeat> they are pushing html5
[06:45]  * Primedeath howls.
[06:45] <sresu> How to logout another user account from current under administrative priveleges?
[06:46] <nomtv80> html5
[06:46] <varun> Dr willis where can I post the install file and give a link here I know that that can be done but not sure which website
[06:46] <humanMeat> ie9...
[06:46] <nomtv80> ^ dead
[06:46]  * Primedeath created html6.
[06:46] <humanMeat> which entry in ifconfig is my ip?
[06:46] <varun> Also I checked the folder and it has a file called install but nothing called uninstall
[06:46] <humanMeat> i see 3 to 4 10.8.XXX.XXX
[06:46] <karthick87> Dr_Willis: I have already seen that,what i need is a GUI tool to configure LDAP client..
[06:47] <humanMeat> i see:  inet addr:10.8.0.6  P-t-P:10.8.0.5  Mask:255.255.255.255
[06:47] <Gnea> humanMeat: how can that be? open a terminal and type: ip a
[06:47] <Primedeath> Our schools computers are so insecure.
[06:47]  * Primedeath deletes DeepFrz.sys ^_^
[06:47] <Gnea> humanMeat: oh, well inet addr is short for Internet Address
[06:48] <Gnea> Primedeath: are you at a college or still in high school?
[06:48] <Primedeath> College.
[06:48] <humanMeat> hrm. i see inet 10.8.0.1 peer 10.8.0.2/32 scope global tun0 from the last command
[06:48] <Gnea> community or uni?
[06:48] <Primedeath> Community untilI can transfer.
[06:48] <humanMeat> primedeath, this is common everywhere.
[06:48] <saganbyte> Hello
[06:48] <humanMeat> University of California, Irvine had a big key logging incident while I was there
[06:48] <Okashi> hello, I suddenly lost sound on my 10.10 system I tried rebooting and checking all my volume levels, but nothing looks wrong.
[06:48] <Primedeath> Trying to finish off a Bachelors before I hit 26 so I can joint he Air Force.
[06:48] <varun> Dr willis I tried 'sudo make uninstall ns-allinone-2.34' but the result is it says no rule to make target "uninstall"
[06:48] <humanMeat> incidentally, their professors get their work mentioned in Playboy magazine
[06:48] <karthick87> humanMeat: 10.8.0.1 is yours
[06:49] <humanMeat> what are these other ones?
[06:49] <Primedeath> humanMeat, that's why I typically use my persistent flash install of Linux Mint.
[06:49] <saganbyte> Is there some way I can see the AC Power settings in Power Management apart from the GUI?
[06:49] <Gnea> humanMeat: odd that there are multiple listed.... how many network cards do you have?
[06:49] <humanMeat> i am running openvpn...
[06:49] <saganbyte> Whatever I set in the GUI doesnt apply
[06:49] <Gnea> humanMeat: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && ip a | pastebinit
[06:49] <humanMeat> for some reason i can't ping 10.8.0.1
[06:50] <Gnea> humanMeat: oh, well whatever ISN'T on tap0 or tun0 is likely your ip - not sure why you'd use ip's within the same segment on real and virtual devices...
[06:50] <Okashi> Can anyone help me? XD
[06:50] <nomtv80> karthick87: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LDAP_software
[06:51] <Gnea> !sound | Okashi
[06:51] <humanMeat> i don't either gnea
[06:51] <nomtv80> look in the linux section
[06:51] <humanMeat> i just follow openvpn directions and get errors
[06:51] <rootlinuxusr> Is there anyway to reboot after an upgrade without losing uptime? I've got my personal record - 140 days, and I'd like to not lose it =]
[06:51] <Agent007> hi, I have a font issue on ubunut...
[06:51] <Gnea> openvpn has to be tailored down to your specific needs, you ought to know which devices are which
[06:52] <administrator_> ..
[06:52] <Okashi> Thank you, I tried that first option already, hope I can get it figured out with those links
[06:52] <Gnea> rootlinuxusr: reboot is a reboot, you can choose to reboot or not
[06:54]  * nomtv80 drinks more four loko
[06:54] <nomtv80> what is the issue Agent007 ?
[06:55] <Agent007> I can't seem to decide which font is the most suitable for my desktop environment
[06:55] <Primedeath> .. How would we know?
[06:55] <Primedeath> That's subjective.
[06:55] <nomtv80> ^^
[06:55] <Primedeath> I prefer Wingdings.
[06:56] <Primedeath> Or whatever that one is.
[06:56] <nomtv80> go with one that's easily readable
[06:56] <ActionParsnip> Primedeath: yeah,make it a challenge :)
[06:56] <nomtv80> and aesthetically pleasing to the eyes
[06:56] <Agent007> I just want to know what cool people font is
[06:56] <Primedeath> nomtv80: Moving everything to a secondary partition just in case.
[06:56] <Agent007> nomtv, what do you font?
[06:56] <Primedeath> Agent007, wingdings.
[06:56] <Dr_Willis> Agent007:  go use the ubuntu font, or droid
[06:56] <nimbiotics> Hello ya'll. What can I use to remotely control a PC from within my own LAN and/or from internet? PC will be running either ubuntu or windoze. TIA!
[06:56] <nomtv80> Primedeath: I would back it up on another drive
[06:56] <Primedeath> nimbiotics, with them knowing or not knowing?
[06:57] <nimbiotics> knowing :) they are my own!
[06:57] <Agent007> I'll try out droid and see how that goes
[06:57] <ActionParsnip> Agent007: could use the ubuntu font, depends on the theme. You wouldn't want comic sans with a dark theme
[06:57] <Primedeath> nomtv80: no need. I have the best recovery software if anything happens.
[06:57] <chasedood> what up, im new to this and ubuntu
[06:57] <nimbiotics> Primedeath: knowing :) they are my own!
[06:57] <Primedeath> nimbiotics, Just look into VNC apps.
[06:57] <Agent007> so ActionParsnip you're basically suggesting I stay with my original font
[06:57] <Primedeath> They typically are all the same.
[06:57] <nomtv80> lol, comic sans
[06:57] <Dr_Willis> Agent007:  flip a coin. try them all...
[06:57] <ActionParsnip> Primedeath: what if the drive actuator fails?
[06:57] <nimbiotics> any particular recomendation for a noob?
[06:58] <Primedeath> How would it fail?
[06:58] <Agent007> I wouldn't bring a windows font such as comic sans to ubuntu.
[06:58] <nimbiotics> Primedeath: any particular recomendation for a noob?
[06:58] <fffffs> nimbiotics, vnc or rdp
[06:58] <Primedeath> Linux is going to make it explode?
[06:58] <nomtv80> tightVNCX
[06:58] <owen1__> anyone managed to install ubuntu on macbookpro? ubuntu/xubuntu/alternate CD. none works for me.
[06:58] <ActionParsnip> Primedeath: it could cease to receive power
[06:58] <nomtv80> VNX*
[06:58] <nimbiotics> fffffs: thx
[06:58] <Primedeath> TightVNC^
[06:58] <nomtv80> ah.... thanks
[06:58] <Primedeath> Err, that.
[06:58] <ActionParsnip> Primedeath: drives fail dude
[06:58] <nomtv80> rrrrrrr
[06:58] <Primedeath> ActionParsnip, it's new.
[06:58] <Primedeath> You don't even know what I am doing.
[06:58] <Agent007> Dr_Willis,  whats your font
[06:59] <ActionParsnip> Primedeath: then its more likely to. Drives fail most in the first and last 6 months of use
[06:59] <Primedeath> ActionParsnip, I'll back it up to another HDD.... BUT WHAT IF THAT HDD FAILS TOO!?
[06:59] <Primedeath> I need to buy 100 HDD's.
[06:59] <Primedeath> They all may fail!
[06:59] <Primedeath> Oh noes!
[06:59] <nimbiotics> Is there a tool like "Startup Manager" for windoze? TIA!
[06:59] <ActionParsnip> Primedeath: at least have 2. Storing "important" data in a single place is really dumb
[06:59] <jetlinkin> owen_1:  I have installed ubuntu on a macbook.  just hold down the option key while starting.  then choose the windows option to boot.  mac sees the ubuntu CD as windows.
[07:00] <Agent007> Droids is actually quite nice...
[07:00] <Primedeath> It's not important, and please only respond to what I am doing if you know what I am doing. =-p
[07:00] <netterbooker> cloud storage ;)
[07:00] <ActionParsnip> Primedeath: and when it fails, no software will help you
[07:00] <nomtv80> it's called sessions @ nimbiotics  System \ Preferences\ Sessions
[07:00] <Primedeath> ActionParsnip, what will help you?
[07:00] <Sheet> Problem, my System bar has disapeared, at the top left corner, the pannel is still there but not the 3 starting points to go to different applications.
[07:01] <ActionParsnip> Primedeath: just remember this ok. You'll see
[07:01] <ritztech> is there a way with grep to go from line to line like like 20 - 50 BUT files are different so from word Descrption to the word Failed ?
[07:01] <ritztech> or is awk better for that
[07:01] <Primedeath> You'll see that nothing happens? :D
[07:01] <nomtv80> if  important, else backup
[07:01] <Primedeath> Also, I am surprised this WD External HDD has a WD Drive in it.. I had some old 160GB External drives that were WD... They had seagate drives in them.
[07:01] <ActionParsnip> ritztech: head file -n 50 | tail -n 30 | less
[07:02] <ActionParsnip> ritztech: will show lines 20 to 50
[07:02] <netterbooker> my wd external went kaput but it was just the housing the drive was fine
[07:02] <nomtv80> in my experience all drives fail anytime
[07:03] <ritztech> but in my case its not always that way the description could be 10 lines long or 40
[07:03] <ActionParsnip> I maintain 4 data centrs, we change about 3 daily
[07:03] <ritztech> so i could look for words
[07:03]  * Okashi sighs
[07:03] <ActionParsnip> ritztech: then change the paramaters
[07:03] <ritztech> but the words are the static things
[07:04]  * nomtv80 drinks more four loko
[07:04] <ActionParsnip> ritztech: you're gonna need some fancy awk/grep combo then
[07:04] <Okashi> nothing in the guides about sound working, and then suddenly deciding not to
[07:04] <ritztech> hmmm i was hoping to get off a awk that scares me lol
[07:04] <varun> waiting on a better answer for the question
[07:04] <Dr_Willis> varun:  most of us have frogoggten the question.
[07:05] <ActionParsnip> Okashi: try: killall pulseaudio; rm -r $HOME/.pulse* ,then press ALT+F2 and run: pulseaudio
[07:05] <Okashi> but I did come across one command that is in there that the terminal says is invalid
[07:05] <ActionParsnip> Okashi: may bring sound back
[07:05] <ActionParsnip> ritztech: the guys in #bash may know a thing or three
[07:05] <Cool_Nick> service smbd start works.....how when its not in /etc/init.d?
[07:05] <nimbiotics> nomtv80: this a dual boot pc ... how d i get to System \ Preferences\ Sessions? TIA!
[07:06] <ActionParsnip> Cool_Nick: ubuntu shunned init.v
[07:06] <Cool_Nick> ActionParsnip, so wahts the new way?
[07:06] <nomtv80> nimbiotics: what exactly are you trying to do again?
[07:06] <ActionParsnip> nimbiotics: in the top bar on the desktop. Have you NEVER used the preferences menu?
[07:06] <ActionParsnip> Cool_Nick: late for work and cold
[07:06] <ActionParsnip> !init
[07:07] <Okashi> ActionParsnip:  Thanx, XDstill doesn't work
[07:07] <ActionParsnip> Okashi: has it worked in the past?
[07:07] <ActionParsnip> Okashi: are volume levels cranked and unmuted if you run: alsamixer ,in a terminal?
[07:07] <Okashi> ActionParsnip:  It worked perfectly 2 hours ago when I was streaming anime, playing CDs and .mp4s
[07:08] <St0n3-C0l> anyone know how to change Colors in OpenOffice permanently?
[07:08] <Okashi> I took a break to go scetch, and now it doesn't wanna work :(
[07:08] <Sheet> Problem, my System bar has disappeared, at the top left corner, the panel is still there but not the 3 starting points to go to different applications.
[07:08] <nomtv80> Okashi, do the speakers and cable work?
[07:08] <Okashi> nomtv80:  worked 2 hours ago
[07:08] <nimbiotics> nomtv80, I would like to be able to change GRUB options in windows, is it possible?
[07:08] <ActionParsnip> Okashi: try rmmodding then modprobing the sound module
[07:08] <Dr_Willis> !reset-panel
[07:08] <Dr_Willis> !resetpanel
[07:09] <Cool_Nick> ActionParsnip, late for work and cold?  I cant find anything on that...
[07:09] <ActionParsnip> Okashi: you can see it with; sudo lshw -C sound
[07:09] <Dr_Willis> nimbiotics:  im not sure thats possible.. at least not going to be easy...
[07:09] <Okashi> rmmodding, modprobing?
[07:09] <ActionParsnip> Cool_Nick: that's just me. Its freezing
[07:09] <ActionParsnip> Okashi: its how you manage kernel modules
[07:09] <nimbiotics> Dr_Willis: OK, thx
[07:09] <Sheet> thank you Dr_Willis
[07:09] <nomtv80> nimbiotics: why do you need to do it from Windows?
[07:10] <j0d0> upgraded from lucid to 10.10 with a raid 5. can not boot "ALERT! /dev/mapper/(username)-root does not exsist. dropping to a shell!"  Any help on this one?/
[07:10] <Okashi> http://pastebin.com/5se4R8Jz
[07:11] <Okashi> that's what I get from the last command you guys gave me
[07:11] <Primedeath> Oh this is fucking retarded.
[07:11] <Primedeath> nomtv80: Guess what they did with the new WD External drives?
[07:11] <Gnea> !language | Primedeath
[07:12] <nomtv80> :O
[07:12] <Primedeath> Gnea, you don't realize how retarded this is.
[07:12] <Primedeath> They don't have SATA connections on them.
[07:12] <Gnea> Primedeath: you don't realize how close you are to being removed.
[07:12] <nomtv80> just say fskng
[07:12] <_TexNick_> nimbiotics : if you're referring to the win dual boot menu, you might have a look at this link ... http://vlaurie.com/computers2/Articles/bootini.htm
[07:12]  * linux_probe pishes on Primedeath
[07:12] <linux_probe> lul
[07:12] <Okashi> -__-
[07:12]  * Primedeath slaps linux_probe.
[07:12] <linux_probe> whats up :)
[07:12] <nomtv80> sry fsck*
[07:12] <Primedeath> Not much.
[07:13] <Primedeath> Gah, you can't even internalize the new WD drives.
[07:13] <Okashi> I think my computer hates me... everything I tink I've got it fixed something ELSE tweaks...
[07:13] <Syria> Guys I have just installed Lucid on one of the machines at work but the genx scanner doesn't work, and after reading the manuals for installing sane project I don't think that my scanner is supported!
[07:13]  * linux_probe suggests a sledgehammer
[07:13] <Cool_Nick> reading the man page of service I only see it mentions /etc/init.d...so how does this work?
[07:13] <Cool_Nick> ls /etc/init.d/sm* RETURNS /etc/init.d/smartmontools
[07:13] <Cool_Nick> service smbd status RETURNS smbd start/running, process 18985
[07:13] <varun> Dr Willis I will write the question again here.I installed ns2 using this website http://nsnam.isi.edu/nsnam/index.php/Installing_ns2.31_on_Ubuntu7.04 and the version was ns 2.34 and now I want to unistall it.I tried running make unstall but given me an error about target not found.The solution I can think of is deleting the directory /home/varun/ns-allinone-2.34 and also removing the code lines from the bashrc for the export path .Any s
[07:13] <varun> uggestions?
[07:14] <Gnea> Syria: what's the make/model?
[07:14] <nimbiotics> nomtv80: cause i'll be using this pc w/o monitor (Thats y i asked bout VNC b4) and will not be able to select which OS it will boot with
[07:14] <fffffs> Syria, you had to cjheck it before installation
[07:14] <varun> I have intrepid ibex by the way and yes I will upgrade it soon
[07:14] <Okashi> rmmodding, modprobing, how do I?
[07:14] <Primedeath> linux_probe, I am still raging. =[
[07:14] <linux_probe> lol
[07:14] <Syria> Gnea I will check now.
[07:14] <linux_probe> i'll know to not buy wd's now :)
[07:14] <Primedeath> Found ap ic.
[07:14] <j0d0> upgraded from lucid to 10.10 with a raid 5. can not boot "ALERT! /dev/mapper/(username)-root does not exist. dropping to a shell!"  Any help on this one?
[07:14] <Primedeath> http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51NyyAq9rQL.jpg
[07:14] <Syria> fffffs No, what os cjheck?
[07:15] <Primedeath> See, it has pins, but no SATA connections.
[07:15] <Primedeath> Isn't that just completely retarded?
[07:15] <nomtv80> nimbiotics: I see what you mean now
[07:15] <Syria> fffffs What is*
[07:15] <Dr_Willis> varun:  removeing it from your default path.. will basically 'remove' it..
[07:15] <nomtv80> Primedeath: pull the pin part off
[07:15] <Okashi> or is there anything else I can check?
[07:15] <Dr_Willis> varun:  unless the install did other things like copy some libs to the /libs/ dir and so forth.
[07:15] <Primedeath> nomtv80, it doesn't come off.
[07:15] <Primedeath> It's solid.
[07:16] <Gnea> !info gns3 | varun
[07:16] <fffffs> you had to have found scanner driver before changing OS
[07:16] <Syria> Gnea The scanner brand is genx, scan ultra http://www.genxmea.com/default.asp?action=article&ID=191
[07:16] <Primedeath> The USB part is actually part of the board.
[07:16] <Dr_Willis> varun:  if it kept everyjhing in the users HOME dir.. then  thats good.. its  not really 'installed' its just in your path..
[07:16] <linux_probe> leave it to WD
[07:16] <nomtv80> Primedeath: I have no idea why they would do that, how stupid
[07:16] <Gnea> Syria: so do you have sane and gimpe installed?
[07:16] <Gnea> Syria: gimp*
[07:16] <Primedeath> nomtv80: Hence my outrage.
[07:16] <Primedeath> It was going to take 2 hours to move these files to the second partition.
[07:17] <bindi> shouldnt buy externals :p
[07:17] <linux_probe> lol
[07:17] <Syria> Gnea Yes, I am scanning using simple scan but I get a message telling me that scanning failed.
[07:17] <Primedeath> Shouldn't buy externals to be portable?
[07:17] <nomtv80> yeh, buy the hd and enclosure separate
[07:17] <Primedeath> Shouldn't buy a laptop too. *rollseyes*
[07:17] <bindi> laptops and externals in my eyes are waste of money :p
[07:17] <nimbiotics> nomtv80: guess its OK, itll have a keyboard anyways; guess its only a matter of pressing the arrow keys at the right moment, then enter ... no biggie
[07:17] <fffffs> Syria, had you tried to scan as root?
[07:18] <nomtv80> lol @nimbiotics
[07:18] <Gnea> Primedeath: have you actually taken one apart to see if the usb portion is just a board attachment or not?
[07:18] <Primedeath> Yes.
[07:18] <Zack> I'm having difficulty figuring out how to 'streamline' my GRUB2 loader. In grub it was easy - just edit the text file, but now it seems to require a bit more work. if i want to, say, remove the memtest options, do i just .. delete.. the files in etc/grub.d?
[07:18] <Syria> fffffs As an administrator only.
[07:18] <Primedeath> I have it apart, putting it back together, as we speak.
[07:18] <fffffs> Syria, there are no 'administrators' in linux
[07:18] <nomtv80> crt's should be cheap no? that's what I use
[07:18] <Okashi> anyone?
[07:19] <Syria> fffffs  I mean the main user <my name>
[07:19] <Gnea> Primedeath: it looks to me like the little board with the usb port on it would disconnect from the drive somehow - have never seen a drive that doesn't have a detachable.
[07:19] <Dr_Willis> nomtv80:  finding CRT's these days..
[07:19] <fffffs> try to run simplescan via gksudo
[07:19] <Primedeath> Gnea, again, hence my outrage.
[07:19] <netterbooker> id use freecycle to find a crt moniter
[07:19] <nomtv80> well, for my server
[07:19] <Gnea> Primedeath: so, what's this WD model #?
[07:19] <sgo11> Hi, I am a new ubuntu user. just installed ubuntu-server. why is there no GUI desktop manager? where is gnome? do I need to install it separately?
[07:19] <Primedeath> WD SES Something
[07:19] <Syria> fffffs Okay, can I know if the scanner is detected via lshw?
[07:19] <Gnea> no
[07:19] <Primedeath> SE
[07:19] <ernest> test
[07:19] <Gnea> not Something
[07:19] <Dr_Willis> nomtv80:  ive seen Small but useable LCD monitors in the $80 range.
[07:19] <Gnea> the whole thing
[07:19] <Primedeath> Western Digital My Passport Essential SE
[07:19] <sresu> sgo11: #ubuntu-server
[07:20] <fffffs> sgo11, server has no fui by defalt
[07:20] <sresu> gui*
[07:20] <nomtv80> i could get  a tube for $5
[07:20] <Gnea> Primedeath: what's the model # on the actual drive itself?
[07:20] <sgo11> fffffs, that's very weird.
[07:20] <rww> sgo11: yes, Server doesn't come with a GUI. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerGUI
[07:20] <sgo11> sresu, thanks.
[07:20] <nomtv80> perfect for my centOS file server
[07:20] <Primedeath> wd3200bmvv
[07:20] <fffffs> sgo11, it is tailored for remote command-line management
[07:21] <bindi> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2ej3zBeCv0 - "That means it's not a standard SATA drive but a hybrid drive which has a USB port on it instead of a SATA connector. Yes you can remove it from the case but the drive will not be usable for any other purpose so it's pointless to attempt disassembly for B8B Drives."
[07:21] <Inees> Hola
[07:21] <bindi> tl;Dr :P
[07:21] <nomtv80> learn bash yo!
[07:21] <Inees> qien eres
[07:21] <sgo11> fffffs, ok. thanks.
[07:21] <Inees> xD?
[07:21] <miosec> 各位大牛，麻烦问下,ripquery只有unix才有吗？
[07:21] <Inees> olaa?
[07:21] <nomtv80> hybrid drive? where's the hybrid part?
[07:21] <rww> !cn | miosec
[07:21] <Gnea> Primedeath: wow, that's interesting. so, the pcb board is detachable, so you could, in theory, hook it up to an eSATA or SATA if you know how to do the electronics end of it
[07:22] <rww> !es | Inees
[07:22] <Dr_Willis> nomtv80:  if you where here last month i would of given you about 8 monitors :)
[07:22] <Okashi> Is anyone still trying to help me? or am I a lost cause?
[07:22] <Inees> Hi
[07:22] <nickisnotmyname> @find muse uprising
[07:22] <Inees> who is sanish?
[07:22] <Inees> spanish*
[07:22] <miosec> ubottu:sorry,i  konw..
[07:22] <netterbooker> theres a crt moniter every week on my cities freecycle
[07:22] <rww> Inees: /join #ubuntu-es for spanish
[07:22] <booduklee> It's good，
[07:22] <nomtv80> mi espanol es mas o menos
[07:22] <Inees> i don understand you!
[07:22] <nomtv80> lol
[07:22] <Dr_Willis> Okashi:  i imagine  everyone has frogotten your original problem. I dont even see it in my history buffer any more
[07:22] <Inees> Byye!
[07:22] <Inees> xD
[07:23] <miosec> hi all, how can i use the ripquery in ubuntu.
[07:23] <Okashi> Dr_Willis:  *sigh* my audio suddenly stopped working, and everything looks nromal
[07:23] <miosec> it's only in unix?
[07:23] <nomtv80> lo siento, soy un gringo
[07:23] <Primedeath> Gnea, the pcboard is not detachable on mine.
[07:23] <Syria> fffffs i got the same message when I tried to scan as root.
[07:24] <Okashi> Dr_Willis:  Someone gave me a command and I posted the result and they never got back to me
[07:24] <nomtv80> Okashi: maybe the card is busted?
[07:24] <Gnea> Syria: their page is slow to download the manual
[07:24] <Zack> why am i unable to make permanent changes to etc/default/grub? it tells me it is read-only. do i need to open it via a command in terminal?
[07:24] <Dr_Willis> Okashi:  all i can say is check cables, reboot,  (i had the grandkid unplug cables on me last week) after 2 hrs i found the cable unplugged..
[07:24] <Gnea> Primedeath: sure it is, just unscrew it
[07:25] <Dr_Willis> Zack:  its a system file.. you need root rights.. so yes. thats the easiest way
[07:25] <Okashi> nomtv80: do cards randomly bust? XD thats bad cause it's built onto my Mobo
[07:25] <distrc> #dalnet
[07:25] <Syria> Gnea Okay, I have downloaded the "all os driver" but it was a stupid exe file.
[07:25] <Dr_Willis> Zack:  gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub
[07:25] <Gnea> Primedeath: is this not the same drive?  http://gotbackdata.com/dr-case-WD%20passport.html
[07:25] <nomtv80> Okashi, yeh so do mobo's
[07:25] <Okashi> Dr_Willis:  I can check cables, but I already rebooted 3 times
[07:26] <Primedeath> That it.
[07:26] <Primedeath> That's it.
[07:26] <Gnea> Syria: okay, can you pastebin the output of the lsusb command?
[07:26] <Zack> when i try it opens a blank document. do i have to include a file extension..?
[07:26] <Okashi> nomtv80:  DX I think my computer really hates me then... I've been fighting with it for 2+ weeks to get it working and stable
[07:26] <Dr_Willis> Okashi:  does it 'look' like its playing..  like the media players play, and give no errors.. if so . could be a mixer set the master/ or pcm to mute. somehow
[07:26] <Okashi> Dr_Willis:  Yes
[07:26] <Syria> Gnea Okay just a minute please.
[07:26] <Primedeath> Maybe I can connect this 250GB's PCB to the 320GB.
[07:26] <Gnea> Primedeath: what's wrong with the drive anyway? is it not spinning up?
[07:26] <Primedeath> Swap'em out.
[07:27] <Primedeath> Gnea, no. Just going to take 2.5 hours to move this data.
[07:27] <Okashi> Dr_Willis:  No errors at all and all the sliders are fine
[07:27] <Gnea> Primedeath: oh that's not bad
[07:27] <Primedeath> If it was a normal drive, I would be able to do it within minutes.
[07:27] <nomtv80> try with a live cd Okashi
[07:28] <Okashi> like the install cd?
[07:28] <Zack> Dr_Willis: i'm just getting a blank document when i "gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub"
[07:28] <Okashi> and run the "try" mode right?
[07:28] <nomtv80> yeh, make sure it can play, then you can single that out
[07:28] <linux_probe> anyone install 10.10 with the download updates while installing option
[07:28] <Zack> Dr_Willis: my mistake.
[07:28] <Gnea> Primedeath: I thought you were complaining that it wasn't functioning anymore
[07:29] <Primedeath> No, I was complaining that I can never hook it up as a SATA Drive.
[07:29] <Primedeath> >_<
[07:29] <Okashi> alright, XD I'll be back after I boot then
[07:29] <Dr_Willis> linux_probe:  ive used that in the past.. it was a little slower.. but a handy feature.
[07:30] <Gnea> Primedeath: do you have the esata or usb?
[07:30] <linux_probe> im loading it to a vm anyways
[07:30] <linux_probe> figured if it made it fail or somehting id not check that
[07:31] <linux_probe> it installs fast anyways
[07:31] <morgan> does vyatta make switches
[07:31] <suigeneris> how do I get SCIM to work? I go to System > Preferences > SCIM Input Method Setup, I then click on OK, and the program dies
[07:31] <linux_probe> gigabit eth, raid array, esxi server :)
[07:31] <nomtv80> Gnea: he has some gimp wp drive
[07:32] <linux_probe> seems asif there's a bunch of them wd drives that way then
[07:32] <Gnea> nomtv80: I am aware of that.
[07:32] <nomtv80> Gnea: oh yeh, I guess he doesn't want to boot from usb now
[07:33] <Gnea> nomtv80: well, he mentioned that it has a usb connector, but the pictures show an esata connector
[07:34] <linux_probe> looked like an usb plug to me
[07:34] <Primedeath> ^
[07:34] <Primedeath> It's the new miniUSB pic.
[07:34] <Primedeath> err It's mini USB instead of the old style one.
[07:34] <sometux> whould someone refer me to online resources about network/server clustring in Ubuntu?
[07:34] <Gnea> ah
[07:35] <Primedeath> What the hell is the point of the pins now!?
[07:35] <Primedeath> Heck*
[07:35] <varun> Dr willis,I am not sure if any thing was copied into the /lib/directory and I am not sure I know a way to check it .What is the way in ubuntu to check somethign of this sort
[07:35] <varun> ?
[07:35] <linux_probe> probably for them to sata interfcae it
[07:35] <linux_probe> interface**
[07:35] <Primedeath> More money for them, right?
[07:35] <nomtv80> http://www.ubuntu.com/cloud/private/deploy @ sometux
[07:35] <alesan> !skype
[07:36] <linux_probe> likely they need sata connection for drive manufacturing  or something
[07:36] <linux_probe> i can see where that would save them money and space/size
[07:36] <Primedeath> If it was USB 3.0, I could understand.
[07:36] <Primedeath> =/
[07:36] <awanti> Hello to all.
[07:36] <linux_probe> why did you buy such a phail drive ?
[07:36] <Primedeath> It was given to me.
[07:37] <linux_probe> installation complete, reboot now.
[07:37] <linux_probe> orly
[07:37] <galadude> is there a way to debug ubuntu? I've been having problems at start up..
[07:37] <nomtv80> well played sir
[07:37] <ravi> new user
[07:37] <Gnea> Primedeath: well, it seems like there aren't any adapters on the market for it, so you'd have to craft together a usb-to-sata connector to make it happen, and I'm sure it could be done
[07:37] <meero> Guys , is it possible to downgrade ubuntu?
[07:37] <ravi> how to download youtube videos
[07:37] <awanti> I am using Ubuntu 10.10. from Ubuntu i want to install windows xp (through LAN). So plz. any one can help me to do so
[07:37] <Primedeath> Gnea, too much hassle.
[07:37] <linux_probe> that would defeat the purpose
[07:37] <linux_probe> :))
[07:38] <Gnea> Primedeath: for now, perhaps
[07:38] <rww> !downgrade | meero
[07:38] <Gnea> linux_probe: how so?
[07:38] <linux_probe> im supposing it's also a 5400rpm laptop hd
[07:38] <Primedeath> I'll just email WD and tell them .. "WTFisthis"
[07:38] <nomtv80> galadude: http://www.troublefixers.com/test-computer-hardware-in-ubuntu/
[07:38] <linux_probe> he was trying to get better speeds by direct sata plugging
[07:38] <Primedeath> Maybe they'll be awesome?
[07:38] <ravi> plz help
[07:38] <Primedeath> ^
[07:38] <ravi> how to download youtube videos

[07:39] <galadude> nomtv80: Thanks a mil
[07:39] <Syria> Gnea this is the lsusb output http://paste.ubuntu.com/536189/
[07:39] <alesan> hi, my mom has a computer with ubuntu 10.4 installed
[07:39] <ravi> is there any downloader
[07:39] <linux_probe> well see if it boots to some ungodly high resolution
[07:39] <nomtv80> ravi: ohhhhh
[07:39] <alesan> unfortunately the "dark" window frames are not too good for her. How can I go back to sane colors like in Ubuntu 9.04?
[07:40] <nomtv80> ravi: i think ubottu got you
[07:40] <rww> meero: ubottu is a factoid bot. !downgrade | meero was an instruction to it to send you a message, which it did.
[07:40] <fffffs> alesan, via Appearance panel
[07:41] <alesan> fffffs, I am into her PC on vnc now
[07:41] <ravi> is there any downloader to download you tube videos
[07:41] <Gnea> Syria: http://old.nabble.com/-GT68xx--Plustek-Optic-Slim-2400-Plus--ID-07b3:0454--works-and-supported---Please-help-and-check-:D-td18127838.html
[07:41] <alesan> fffffs, first of all, as also my brother has an account, will those settings be system-wide?
[07:41] <fffffs> alesan, no
[07:41] <alesan> ok so how can I make the changes system wide?
[07:41] <linux_probe> 800x600 yuck
[07:41] <rod> hi! anyone familiar with google talk for windows?
[07:42] <ravi> plz help
[07:42] <meero> rww: aha, ok, so it is not supported ....
[07:42] <rww> meero: correct
[07:42] <Gnea> !info youtube-dl | ravi
[07:42] <ravi> how download youtube videos
[07:42] <alesan> fffffs, do you remember what was the theme name for ubuntu 9.04?
[07:42] <fffffs> ravi, it's illegal
[07:42] <rww> meero: the only way to go back from a newer version to an older version is to reinstall :(
[07:42] <Gnea> fffffs: no it's not
[07:42] <nomtv80> ravi: Find the video you want to download and wait for it to completely finish loading.; Minimize your browser (do NOT close it, some browsers delete the temp directory upon closing), and navigate to the directory /tmp; Drag the flash file onto your desktop.
[07:43] <alesan> ravi, there is a plugin for firefox
[07:43] <rod> google talk for windows gives me a tooltip popup when i get an email (gmail) .. is there some similar solution for ubuntu?
[07:43] <Okashi> Okay, still no sound even when I boot from the CD, -__-
[07:43] <alesan> ravi, get "flashgot"
[07:43] <linux_probe> ahh 1440x900
[07:43] <linux_probe> much better
[07:44] <Syria> Gnea Where can i get the files and the firm from?
[07:44] <ravi> kk.thak u boss
[07:45] <linux_probe> that was a painless install, i expected all sorts of whoops to jump through
[07:45] <alesan> how can I remove the fact that when the screensaver starts it asks for password?
[07:45] <Gnea> Syria: either the cd or website
[07:46] <Syria> Gnea The cd contains drivers for linux?
[07:46] <Okashi> nomtv80:  what can I try now?
[07:46] <Gnea> Syria: it needs the firmware, which is OS-independent
[07:46] <nomtv80> Okashi, yeh I haven't had a live cd for ubuntu not play sound for any comps I had.
[07:47] <linux_probe> system >preferences>screensaver
[07:47] <linux_probe> uncheck the lock when screensaver is active
[07:47] <meero> rww: ye, deffinitely cleaner solution, but i would waste some time doing it.. :-(
[07:47] <Okashi> nomtv80:  :( maybe I've been smited by wrathful computer gods, one problem after another....
[07:48] <Dr_Willis> oh for the days of the C64 - we never had these problems back then...
[07:48] <nomtv80> Okashi, have you tried a set of headphones
[07:48] <alesan> do you know if it is possible to set a static IP address in Ubuntu?
[07:49] <alesan> for the ethernet card
[07:49] <Dr_Willis> im getting all sorts of odd permissions errors right now.. cant burn to cd/dvd/ cant mount flash drives.. not sure whats going on.
[07:49] <Syria> Gnea i don't have the cd now. :( I have downloaded the drivers online is that helpful? Windows drivers?
[07:49] <Okashi> nomtv80: yeah, thourgh my speakers, I can try straight from the jack in the back if you'd like
[07:49] <nomtv80> Okashi: so you know the speakers work
[07:50] <Gnea> Syria: url?
[07:50] <Okashi> the did 2 hours ago
[07:50] <Okashi> EVERYTHING worked 2 hours ago
[07:50] <nomtv80> Okashi: and the cable to them?
[07:50] <Syria> Gnea Here is it http://www.genxmea.com/envivocms/drivers/Drivers/Scanner/drivers/Smart%20Scan%201200.ZIP
[07:50] <Maahes> can someone tell me why rake does not work when I do sudo gem install rake?
[07:51] <Okashi> nomtv80:  OMG headphone work
[07:51] <nomtv80> Okashi: it doesn't happen often but I've had jacks and cables fail a few times
[07:51] <alesan> where do I configure the ethernet card in Ubuntu? I have found an icon "network" but I can only see the status not change
[07:51] <nomtv80> Okashi: there you go, computer fine ^_^
[07:51] <Okashi> nomtv80:  that means there's something off with the speaker system right?
[07:52] <linux_probe> alesan~ look under system >preferences
[07:52] <Okashi> nomtv80:  I still might cry... my 2.1 speaker system....
[07:52] <Gnea> linux_probe: right-click on networkmanager
[07:52] <Okashi> ;_:
[07:52] <linux_probe> that would work too i guess
[07:53] <tripelb> Action Parsnip, re many result. The time needed to get 20 or 50 or 100 is the same. I was stuck at 10. I often look past 10. The times when I want to look further it's nice to have a lot at hand. I've found useful hints down in the final 30. I also learn about the thinking of the search algorithm in some sense by scanning the set of results.
[07:53] <WillPittenger> Can someone suggest a command line editor easier to use than VI?  I have used one in Ubuntu, but can't remember what it is.
[07:54]  * linux_probe spews @ gnome
[07:54] <suigeneris> hey
[07:54] <selig5> WillPittenger: you could use nano
[07:55] <WillPittenger> That was it.  Thanks.
[07:55] <SmokeyD> Hey everyone. Maybe a bit off topic, but does anyone know of a website I can use to gather several RSS feeds and republish them as one feed, so I can use that one feed in a desktop rss reader widget (in compiz)?
[07:55]  * linux_probe likes vi
[07:55] <Syria> Gnea The files are in the post u gave to me.
[07:55] <suigeneris> when I click on the SCIM applet, it should provide me the list of languages, right?
[07:55] <suigeneris> well, it doesn't
[07:57] <nomtv80> SmokeyD: you can code that with PHP
[07:57] <Gnea> Syria: assuming that it's the correct .zip file, use wine to run setup.exe, it will extract to ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/ScannerU/
[07:57] <Okashi> nomtv80: Thank you, though I'm sad that something with my speakers is toasted I'm so glad that it's not a mobo/sound card issue.
[07:57] <Gnea> Syria: there you will find the firmware file (CISM216.FW)
[07:57] <nomtv80> Okashi: anytime ;)
[07:57] <Syria> Gnea Thank you, I will try this now.
[07:58] <SmokeyD> nomtv80: yeah, I can also code my own rss reader, but I was hoping there would be an existing site to do it. An online rss reader that republishes all feeds into one new feed or something. Google reader doesn't seem to be able to do that
[07:58] <Gnea> Syria: got my fingers crossed
[07:58] <Okashi> Thank you all for your help, I appreciate your time and effort. You just saved me from having to buy a new mobo
[07:58] <Okashi> ^_^
[07:59] <Gnea> Okashi: awesome
[07:59] <suigeneris> when I click on the SCIM applet, it should provide me the list of languages, right?
[07:59] <suigeneris> well, it doesn't
[08:01] <Syria> Gnea How did you know that this is the firmware file please? CISM216.FW
[08:01] <netterbooker> thanks for all you help ppl ive got ubuntu installing on my netbook now
[08:01] <youlun> suigeneris: Have you added any languages using the SCIM preferences?
[08:01] <Gnea> Syria: it has .FW
[08:01] <nomtv80> SmokeyD: http://liferea.sourceforge.net/screenshots/list.png
[08:02] <Syria> Gnea I see, thnx again
[08:02] <nomtv80> SmokeyD: sorry, http://liferea.sourceforge.net/
[08:02] <Gnea> Syria: is it working?
[08:02] <Syria> Gnea I am installing wine.
[08:03] <Gnea> Syria: okay
[08:03] <nomtv80> or use thunderbird
[08:03] <SmokeyD> nomtv80: that is a desktop reader right?
[08:03] <suigeneris> youlun I've got Japanese
[08:03] <nomtv80> yeh, it's a stand alone application, not a screenlet, but what's the diffrence in a screenlet anyways?
[08:04] <youlun> suigeneris: hmm, I don't know how much I can help you then. I use ibus for character input.
[08:04] <nomtv80> i guess they look cool, but I haven't found any readers I like
[08:04] <SmokeyD> I was looking for an online aggregator so I can aggregate all different feeds I am interested in, into one feed that I can then use in different other readers, like a desktop widget, but also my phone and other sources. I just found http://www.newsisfree.com which I am checking out now
[08:05] <nomtv80> newsvine isn't bad
[08:06] <nomtv80> yeh that looks cool too
[08:06] <Syria> Gnea etup.exe' is not marked as executable.  If this was downloaded or copied from an untrusted source, it may be dangerous, How can i run it anyway?
[08:08] <St0n3-C0l> Syria: I don't think .exe would be that dangerous on Linux.
[08:08] <nomtv80> danger...danger
[08:08] <St0n3-C0l> Linux cannot natively run .exe application, you'll have to install Wine to execute .exe
[08:08] <Gnea> Syria: doesn't work like that, type this in the terminal: wine setup.exe
[08:08] <Gnea> Syria: er, wine Setup.exe
[08:10] <Syria> Gnea: I found the CISM216.FW , I will complete the rest of steps now.
[08:15] <Syria> Gnea I am not allowed to add anything to sudo gedit /etc/hotplug/usb/libsane.usermap
[08:17] <Gnea> Syria: try gksudo
[08:17] <suigeneris> !scim
[08:19] <suigeneris> youlun how do you add languages to ibus?
[08:20] <Syria> Gnea I got the same old message, Could not find the file /etc/hotplug/usb/libsane.usermap. I get this after clicking on save.
[08:20] <Syria> Gnea Maybe I don't have that file!! should i create it?
[08:20]  * kehcho hi all
[08:20] <rdste> Help~ I'm trying to flash my bios on ubuntu, but all I can find are outdated tutorials
[08:21] <Syria> Gnea I don't have anything inside the etc calles hotplug
[08:21] <Gnea> Syria: type this in a terminal:  locate libsane.usermap
[08:21] <youlun> suigeneris: There's an ibus configuration tool. In there is an option to add input methods.
[08:22] <Syria> Gnea Nothing happened, a new line only without any messages.
[08:22] <suigeneris> youlun how do I switch languages with it? I tried with the key combinations, nothing happened
[08:23] <youlun> suigeneris: I think the default is ctrl+space
[08:24] <Gnea> Syria: okay, how long ago did you install sane?
[08:24] <Syria> Gnea an hour maybe?
[08:25] <Gnea> Syria: ah, so run this:  sudo updatedb      and then run the locate command again
[08:25] <youlun> suigeneris: Why are you using SCIM? Isn't ibus the default now?
[08:25] <Syria> Gnea the same result! new line only
[08:25] <Syria> Gnea after using sudo updatedb
[08:26] <suigeneris> youlun I will use whatever gets me results :)
[08:26] <Dr_Willis> rdste:  flash what bios? motherboard?

[08:27] <NineTeen67Comet> Hi all .. I've got an nVidia (AGP) 7600 GS running two LCD monitors; and would like to start using the older ATI (PCI) card to run my smaller 17" LCD monitor. If I start up the BIOS using the ATI card it works until I install the Nvidia drivers .. then I've got to boot with the AGP card as primary; then loose the ATI card .. help?
[08:27] <Gnea> Syria: check /etc/sane.d/
[08:27] <thakur_poli> hi, can some one tell me which software can I use for PCB design in Ubuntu.  I need this for some lectures on electronics.
[08:27] <NineTeen67Comet> thakur_poli: what's PCB?
[08:28] <youlun> suigeneris: I think that you have to install additional IMEs if they're not already included
[08:28] <geekfu> thakur:electronics
[08:28] <NineTeen67Comet> thakur_poli: aha .. Printed Circuit Boards .. gotchya ..
[08:28] <Dance_1> a
[08:28] <geekfu> thakur:circuit boards
[08:28] <Dr_Willis> thakur_poli:  check the package maanger/repos. i think theres some in there. Not used any in years
[08:28] <Syria> Gnea I can see this folder but no libsane.usermap in it.
[08:28] <Ronaldlo> I just got ubuntu ppc 9.04 desktop disk, and I loaded kernal "live-nosplash-powerpc video=ofonly" and I got to a BoxBot, and I have no idea what to do from there. Any ideas?
[08:29] <suigeneris> youlun how do I get a list of IMEs?
[08:29] <Ronaldlo> *BusyBox v1.10.2
[08:29] <Gnea> Syria: forget libsane.usermap for now then, just get everything else
[08:30] <Syria> Gnea I am done with everything else, and still not working.
[08:30] <suigeneris> !ibus
[08:31] <youlun> suigeneris: if you type 'scim-' in synaptic you should get a list of ie 'scim-anthy' 'scim-chinese' etc.
[08:31] <Ronaldlo> !BusyBox
[08:32] <WillPittenger> Anyone here running 10.10 in a VBox guest?  I can't get the video driver working.
[08:32] <WillPittenger> It only sees a VGA display.
[08:32] <Dr_Willis> WillPittenger:   install the virtualbox guest addations? what drivers are you truying to install?
[08:32] <Gnea> Syria: I'm seeing an entry in gt68xx.conf already, just needs the firmware pointer
[08:33] <WillPittenger> Dr_Willis: What do you mean which drivers?  The drivers that are part of guest additions.
[08:33] <Gnea> Syria: also make sure to restart saned:  sudo service saned restart
[08:33] <Syria> Gnea Okay.
[08:33] <Dr_Willis> WillPittenger:  i dont recall needing to do anything after just installing the guest addations when i last tried them. You might want to check the vbox wiki page for some trouble shooting. whats the Host OS anyway?
[08:34] <Gnea> Syria: and whatever program you're using, restart it too
[08:34] <WillPittenger> Dr_Willis: Vista 64-bit.
[08:34] <Dr_Willis> WillPittenger:  check the /etc/X11/xorg.conf also. it may be set wrong.
[08:34] <saganbyte> Hello
[08:34] <Dr_Willis> !vbox
[08:35] <Syria> Gnea I got this after trying to restart saned saned disabled; edit /etc/default/saned
[08:35] <saganbyte> Can anyone please help me? I ve reinstalled Ubuntu thrice now and still not able to figure out. If the computer is inactive for sometime, the monitor goes blank and I have to enter my password to get in again. I was trying to affect this by changing AC Power Settings in Power Management to never in vain
[08:36] <saganbyte> I ve realized that the Power Management settings only put the monitor to sleep and that does not require me to enter my password
[08:36] <Dr_Willis> saganbyte:  you reinstalled to try to disable the 'require password after screen locking' ?
[08:36] <saganbyte> Dr_Willis, believe it or not, yes
[08:36] <Gnea> Syria: okay, probably not important for now then. are you trying to use gimp?
[08:37] <Dr_Willis> saganbyte:  cant say that ive ever had to go that extreme. i just check the check box. and its disabled.. You could remove the screensaver package perhaps..
[08:37] <Syria> Gnea i found this in /etc/gt68xx.conf # Plustek OpticPro U16B doesn't need any manual settings ! strange
[08:37] <suigeneris> how do I find Spanish IME for IBus?
[08:37] <saganbyte> Dr_Willis, I do this from the ScreenSaver app?
[08:37] <Dr_Willis> saganbyte could be theres some odd bugs with your pc/mb/power saving features of your pc.
[08:38] <Dr_Willis> saganbyte:  i think i just set screensaver to none, and  then theres some button for power settings..
[08:38] <Syria> Gnea and this # Autodetect Plustek OpticPro S12 and Nortek MyScan1200
[08:38] <saganbyte> Dr_Willis, this worked perfectly a few days ago... I ve reinstalled the OS multiple times now
[08:38] <Dr_Willis> let me get back to gnome.. brb
[08:38] <Ronaldlo> I just got ubuntu ppc 9.04 desktop disk, and I loaded kernal "live-nosplash-powerpc video=ofonly" and I got to a BusyBox, and I have no idea what to do from there. Any ideas?
[08:39] <Syria> Gnea It works!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D
[08:39] <Gnea> Syria: awesome!!
[08:39] <myschak> Ronaldlo: yes, download ubuntu 10.10
[08:40] <Syria> Gnea Actually the scanned page was blank but the scanner is working, I can hear its sound!
[08:40] <Gnea> Syria: try scanning a picture or something
[08:40] <Ronaldlo> Myschak: I tried ubuntu 10.10 no luck there
[08:40] <Syria> Gnea i will, and i will use another program
[08:41] <Ghostly> i found a forum post that has a similar problem as me, should i then describe my problem or just supply some extra information or create my own topic?
[08:41] <Gnea> Ghostly: how old is the post?
[08:42] <Dr_Willis> Hmm. i just uncheck 'lock screen when screensaver is active' it dosent ask for password then.
[08:42] <Gnea> Dr_Willis: a new 10.10 feature?
[08:43] <Dr_Willis> Gnea:  i think its been in ubuntu for some time.
[08:43] <Ghostly> Gnea, Originally started the 9th of September where the last reply was four days ago
[08:43] <Dr_Willis> i seem to recall always unchecking that thing the furst time the scrrensaver locks my pc. :)
[08:43] <Gnea> Ghostly: I would followup with it then
[08:44] <Dr_Willis> xscreensaver has a setting to lock only after a few min.. which is nicer..
[08:45] <Ghostly> Gnea, ok then i'll will do that thanks
[08:45] <anon33__> weird - typing 'mount' doesn't refresh mounted devices, but when i launch nautilus, they then populate /media/
[08:45] <anon33__> any help would be awesome
[08:45] <Dr_Willis> anon33__:  mount just shows mounted devices...
[08:45] <Dr_Willis> anon33__:  unless you did a 'sudo mount -a' that would mount all in /etc/fstab
[08:45] <Gnea> anon33__: that's perfectly normal behavior
[08:47] <anon33__> Gnea: so what command is nautilus issuing that refreshes connected devices?
[08:47] <anon33__> for instance, i connect my phone and enable USB mode but that doesn't populate /media/
[08:48] <anon33__> running 'sudo mount -a' doesn't refresh it (or look for connected devices) either
[08:49] <Syria> Gnea i am using xsane scanner and now i am getting a blank paper.
[08:49] <Gnea> anon33__: mount -a only knows about what's in /etc/fstab, which contains permanent mounts, not temporary mounts
[08:49] <adzy> hello all!
[08:49] <anon33__> Gnea: so what do you suggest I do?
[08:49] <Gnea> Syria: what are you scanning?
[08:50] <Syria> Gnea A paper with black text, i have a lot of this papers to scan everyday.
[08:50] <Gnea> anon33__: well nautilus utilizes a variety of internal libraries that perform function calls to other daemons running that detect such events, such as udevd
[08:51] <Gnea> anon33__: so if you plug your phone in, it likely won't get mounted until you go to Places or something and click on it

[08:53] <foo-nix> could someone hlp me find the package?
[08:53] <Dr_Willis> anon33__:  mount -a  ONLY auto mounts devices defined in /etc/fstab. You could make an entry in /etc/fstab for your phone. and set it to 'noauto'  then you could manually mount it.

[08:54] <geekyogi> books
[08:55] <Dr_Willis> geekyogi:  for actual 'paper' books. check the bargin bins at the bookstores. get  books on topics you are interested in.
[08:55] <Dr_Willis> geekyogi:  avoid the 'dummies' and 'for idiots' type books, look for books by oreaily (sp?) and others with lots of words. not lots  of pictures.
[08:55] <geekyogi> okay
[08:55] <digi_N810> geekyogi, patience and google.  IRC is a great resource too

[08:58] <karateKid> Where's "the journal" of an ext4 filesystem located?
[08:58] <Dr_Willis> karateKid:  i think theres several copies of it on the FS. i think you can even set it to be saved on a differnt hd/filesystem
[08:58] <Dr_Willis> karateKid:  at least thats what i rcall from reading tune2fs docs and ext4 docs ages ago.
[08:59] <karateKid> Dr_Willis: So, can it be accessed? I would love to see it's contents.
[09:00] <Gnea> Syria: okay, try asking in #sane, it may take awhile, but they can better help you at this point
[09:00] <Syria> Gnea Thank you very much for helping me.

[09:00] <Dr_Willis> karateKid:  check man tune2fs the -J option
[09:01] <karateKid> Dr_Willis: Thanks. Have a great day.

[09:08] <Dr_Willis> WillPittenger:  ive seen vbox guest addations make such files. but vboxc has been  gettting better and better. where it dosent even need the geust addations in many cases.
[09:12] <WillPittenger> As originally setup when I installed 10.10 (fresh install), the resolution was higher, but not the size of the host's window like it would be if Guest Additions was working.

[09:34] <cablop> not an error yet
[09:34] <cablop> but cause a usb can be easily just plugged out without ejecting...
[09:35] <nomtv80> you have to unmount it if you're worried about that
[09:35]  * Dr_Willis tells beginners to get ready to catch their flash drive  when they select 'eject' from the menus.....
[09:35] <nomtv80> I unplug them on the time
[09:35] <nomtv80> lol
[09:35] <nomtv80> @the doc
[09:36] <nomtv80> all the time*
[09:36] <Dr_Willis> i do think eject and unmount do somthing differntly.
[09:36] <Dr_Willis> I recall using one of them on a flash drive.. and i couldent 'remount it' by hand untill i unplugged/plugged it back in.
[09:37] <Jordan_U> cablop: That is a problem, and I don't know that you can be sure you won't ever get stuck with a filesystem unmountable by ntfs-3g (untill you run chkdsk from windows).
[09:37] <scorp007> how do i troubleshoot my network setup if it's failing to resolve hostnames like google.com ?
[09:37] <Jordan_U> Dr_Willis: eject turns off the hardware completely.
[09:39] <nomtv80> yeh, that's better for hd's
[09:39] <Dr_Willis> scorp007:  check your /etc/resolv.conf for starters
[09:40] <Dr_Willis> scorp007:  see if it can ping google.com by its ip. and googles dns servers.  8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

[09:47] <duxbuz> anyone know best way to redirect m$ runonce page to another url
[09:48] <foo-nix> My left mousebutton fails to work after I press a mediabutton. I found a forumpost on this suggesting that installing evdev would work. I did, but this didn help.
[09:48] <foo-nix> any suggestions?
[09:48] <foo-nix> I completely updated my software
[09:48] <nomtv80> Jordan_U: If you don't have Windows then you can use the 'force' option for
[09:48] <nomtv80> your own responsibility. For example type on the command line: mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/sda1/ -o force
[09:48] <foo-nix> and rebooted afterwards because also the kernel was updated
[09:49] <foo-nix> but still, my left mb fails after pressing a media key like volume up
[09:49] <nomtv80> stop using media keys k
[09:49] <nomtv80> jk

[09:52] <foureight84_> i'm trying to install ubuntu server 10.10 from a usb driver but i get stuck on the portion where the installer tries to load components from cd-rom drive
[09:52] <foureight84_> does anyone have any suggestions?
[09:53] <foureight84_> i created the usb install using the instructions from the ubuntu website
[09:56] <ironsight> foureight84_, I haven't installed ubuntu server since... edgy eft :(
[09:56] <foureight84_> ahh
[09:57] <foureight84_> dang it i was using unetbootin earlier but got a different error. searched around and found that this is another way to get it to work
[09:58] <tas> Hey, can anyone tell me how to add this ppa? = ppa:gnomenu-team/ppa
[09:58] <Dr_Willis> !ppa
[09:58] <tas> and afterwards how to use it?
[09:58] <nomtv80> foo-nix: yes, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KeyboardShortcuts  ¯\(°_o)/¯
[09:58] <Dr_Willis> once you add it.. its a repo like anything other repos.
[09:58] <tas> how to add it?
[09:59] <Dr_Willis> read the url the bot gave? theres a command you use
[09:59] <tas> ubottu,  You literally are a bot ain't you?
[09:59] <tas> oh
[09:59] <tas> ty
[09:59] <tas> jajaja
[10:00] <ironsight> foureight84_, I use unetbootin, but I have only done desktop installs with it.
[10:00] <Dr_Willis> https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA/InstallingSoftware
[10:00] <foureight84_> yea desktop install works fine
[10:04] <nomtv80> so desktop works fine, but server won't
[10:05] <tas> I added the GnoMenu's PPA and now I can't find it in synaptic package manager, what to do?
[10:05] <Dr_Willis> i was thinking the 'server iso' did not work with Unetbootin.
[10:06] <Dr_Willis> tas:  sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade, then install whatever packages were on it..
[10:06] <tas> ok
[10:06] <tas> I get this
[10:07] <tas> sudo apt-get upgrade
[10:07] <tas> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
[10:07] <tas> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[10:07] <Dr_Willis> dont run 2 package manatger tools at the same time....
[10:07] <nomtv80> it should work with unetbootin though
[10:07] <Dr_Willis> 'is another process using it?'  <<<<<<<<--- Yes it is.. :)
[10:07] <tas> like terminal and synaptice?
[10:07] <tas> XD
[10:07] <Dr_Willis> tas:  close synaptic
[10:08] <ironsight> tas like, apt-get and synaptic or update manager or software center :)
[10:08] <nomtv80> synaptic -2\
[10:08] <tas> k
[10:08] <tas> thanks
[10:08] <ironsight> np :D
[10:08] <Dr_Willis> https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA/InstallingSoftware mentios the upgrade/update/dist-upgrade options....
[10:08] <tas> but now its upgrading everything. lol
[10:09] <ironsight> wait until the upgrades are complete then you can do more stuffs :)
[10:09] <Dr_Willis> You should proberly update/upgrade about once a week.
[10:09] <tas> oh
[10:09] <tas> kk
[10:09] <tas> oh! and whats the difference b/w suse and ubuntu?
[10:09] <m_fulder> hey
[10:09] <Dr_Willis> 'update' whenever you add new repos.
[10:09] <Dr_Willis> tas:  radically different stuff
[10:09] <m_fulder> how can I bootup with no graphics and only with terminal?
[10:09] <TheSarge> RPM vs DEb is the main diff
[10:09] <nomtv80> @tas http://www.debianadmin.com/automatic-update-of-packages-using-cron-apt.html
[10:09] <Dr_Willis> tas:  package manager system. apt vs rpm. for starters
[10:10] <tas> I think I got it. lol
[10:11] <TomCruise> hi. noob here. can someone help me get compiz working?
[10:11] <Dr_Willis> TomCruise:  its installed by default, whats your video card? have you ran the 'addational drivers' tool yet?
[10:11] <sgo11> where can I find the md5 of the downloaded ISO?
[10:11] <TomCruise> Dr_Willis: no. how do i do that?
[10:11] <tas> nomtv88 Observe that this tool may be a security risk, so you should not set it to do more than necessary. "Automatic upgrade of all packages is NOT recommended" unless you are in full control of the package repository ??
[10:11] <Dr_Willis> TomCruise:  its in the menus.. sytem -> admin.
[10:12] <sgo11> it should show in the download page. but it's not. very hard to find it.
[10:12] <Dr_Willis> tas:  ppa's are not under our controll.
[10:13] <TomCruise> Dr_Willis: it gives me a message saying no proprietary drivers are in use on this system
[10:13] <tas> Dr_Willis, the above para was quoted from a page nom gave me..
[10:13] <Dr_Willis> TomCruise:  and your video card is?
[10:13] <Dr_Willis> tas:  i would update/upgrade once a week.. and leave it at that
[10:13] <tas> Dr_Willis, ok
[10:14] <TomCruise> Dr_Willis: NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M
[10:14] <tas> Dr_Willis, I am done upgrading, now what? I can't find GnoMenu
[10:14] <sgo11> ignore my question. I found it under http://releases.ubuntu.com/maverick/MD5SUMS
[10:14] <tas> FOund it! XD
[10:14] <Dr_Willis> tas:  use synaptic or apt-cache to search for the right package name.. or check teh gnomenu homepage for the package name
[10:15] <stefanox> ciao a tutti
[10:15] <Dr_Willis> !apt | tas
[10:15] <Solow> hello hello... I just got my new laptop. It has facial recognition, palm proof technology, etc. Does ubuntu have all this? or should I stick with windows 7
[10:15] <tas> Dr_Willis, Now I understand how it works. lol add the ppa, then update, then upgrade, then install the thing from software manager xD
[10:15] <tas> hey bot! :D

[10:16] <Solow> nomtv80, yes.
[10:16] <TomCruise> Dr_Willis: is this video card not good enough?
[10:16] <Solow> Dr_Willis, works for me though, like a charm
[10:17] <Dr_Willis> TomCruise:  my nvidia 320m works great. or was it the 360m
[10:17] <Solow> Dr_Willis, tried it in light, and dark, recognizes me everywhere.
[10:17] <Dr_Willis> TomCruise:  i just install the 'nvidia-current' driver package i belive
[10:18] <Solow> anyway, does ubuntu have this ?
[10:18] <Solow> I like the facial recognition when signing in
[10:18] <TomCruise> Dr_Willis: alright. i'll try that
[10:18] <nomtv80> what if you had a twin brother :>
[10:18] <Johnaras> Hello. I'm using ubuntu 10.10 and when i try to reload package information in synaptic package manager i get the following error:  W: A error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used.

[10:18] <Solow> if so, i'm installing ubuntu netbook :D nomtv80, and that's a good, funny point. but I dont. So... does ubuntu have this?
[10:19] <Dr_Willis> error occurred during the signature verification   - it has bad/old/keys for some reason.
[10:19] <tas> I installed GnoMenu, but where do I get it now? :/

[10:29] <tas> anyone? I can't find GnoMenu :(
[10:30] <Dr_Willis> TomCruise:  run the nvida-settings tool.. see if it says you are using the nvida drivers.. enable compiz see if it works
[10:30] <Dr_Willis> tas:  synaptic has a 'filter by reposuitory' thing at the left/bottom side i recall
[10:30] <tilt_> cc
[10:30] <tas> I have installed it already..
[10:30] <Dr_Willis> tas:  so right click onthe panel and add it?
[10:31] <tas> but I dunno where to find it, I tried to add to panel and its not there either
[10:31] <Dr_Willis> tas:  log out/back in. look again
[10:31] <veovis1> What light window manager/desktop environment would you recommend if I wanted to watch for a window opening, and then run a bash script on the size and coordinates of that window?  As long as it's light on resources, I don't care if it's floating or tiled or upside down...
[10:31] <tas> Dr_Willis, ok thanks, almost forgot that thing!!
[10:31] <zabka_> hi, i have run `chmod 4711` on the file, then chown to root. it seems it doesnt assume the identity of the owner when it is run
[10:32] <Dr_Willis> zabka_:  what file?
[10:33] <nomtv80> https://launchpad.net/gnomenu/trunk/1.6 @ tas
[10:33] <delby> hi there, i am considering making my own live cd from my configuration using remastersys. i was wondering if the live cd i create will work on other machines properly. for example, will it probe for hardware or will it expect the hrdware the original installation is set to on my machine?
[10:33] <zabka_> Dr_Willis i wish to have a shell script with sudo in that but witouth beeing prompted for a passwd
[10:33] <Dr_Willis> You dont set scripts to be 'suid'
[10:33] <Dr_Willis> You can set sudo to allow specific commands however...
[10:33] <TomCruise> Dr_Willis: it tells me to restart X server. how do i do that?
[10:34] <Aeronius> So... anyone have good tips for setting up Ubuntu securely? I'm using an encrypted hard-drive, but when I log-in, I'm seeing my full name plastered all over it, and I don't really like that.
[10:34] <nomtv80> press Alt-F2 and enter  /etc/init.d/gdm stop then /etc/init.d/gdm start
[10:35] <Dr_Willis> TomCruise:  log out/back in - might do it.. or 'sudo service gdm restart'   that WILL log you out of X.
[10:35] <nomtv80> @ TomCruise
[10:35] <Syria> After installing Meerkat, I can't print on my network printer hp 1022?? the printer gives an error red led, what can I do guys?
[10:35] <Dr_Willis> the 'service' command is the proper way these days,, not /etc/init.d/
[10:35] <veovis1> Aeronius: You could enter a fake name maybe?  What do you mean secure?  Secure against the network?  Secure against physical access?
[10:35] <Solow> wtf is this. This laptop is brandnew, i unboxed it like, 20 minutes ago. and it still the ubuntu installer doesnt work? come ooooon
[10:35] <veovis1> Solow: What model laptop and what part fails?
[10:35] <Dr_Willis> Solow:  brand 'new' can often have unsupported hardware..
[10:35] <cablop> why pulseaudio?
[10:36] <cablop> it is buggy, buggy as hell
[10:36] <Aeronius> Well, I'm not so sure I'm up on network security, but for physical access, I think I'm good with my encrypted hard drive and a decent password
[10:36] <nomtv80> thanks
[10:36] <cablop> i was looking at google with no luck
[10:36] <Solow> veovis1, Asus k52f. "preparing to install Ubuntu-netbook"
[10:37] <Solow> it just stops doing anything
[10:37] <riddick> so... My Ipod is a read-only file system.  I do not know how to change this,  though I've used GTKpod and tinkered with it, as well as root nautilus to try to changethis as well.  what am i missing here,  to make my ipod not a read-only file system
[10:37] <Dr_Willis> Solow:  whats teh video chipset?
[10:37] <zabka_> so... again... how should i write /set up a shell script with some sudo's in that and with user changing but witouth beeing prompted for a passwd
[10:37] <cablop> when you are playing sounds, mostly music or videos, then some sound occurs, like a notification, and bump, the sounds become damaged and you just need to close the app and reopen it to recover the sound
[10:37] <Syria> Is there anybody trying to print from An ubuntu meerkat machine to hp 1022 network printer?
[10:38] <Aeronius> so am I broadcasting my name all over the internet everywhere I go?
[10:38] <Solow> Dr_Willis, how am I supposed to know, I just unwrapped it :p also, does it matter? should it not just work? if it DOES matter, where do I find it? (A)
[10:38] <riddick> like,  where do i start looking for this information?
[10:38] <Dr_Willis> Solow:  look on the box?
[10:38] <suigeneris> how to change keyboard layout on the fly?
[10:38] <Dr_Willis> Solow:  and yes it does matter..
[10:38] <fffffs> zabka_, suid it
[10:38] <Dr_Willis> Solow:  and if ati/nvidia/whoever had better support.. then it would proberly just work...
[10:39] <Solow> Dr_Willis, well, it just says: 15.6 GD(GL)
[10:39] <zabka_> fffffs i have run `chmod 4711` on the file, then chown to root. it seems it doesnt assume the identity of the owner when it is run
[10:39] <Dr_Willis> fffffs:  you dont 'suid' a script.
[10:39] <funyun> Dr_Willis: this is TomCruise. i typed the command you gave me and it froze me. so i tried to reboot. not it keeps bringing me to terminal and i cannot get back to the desktop :(
[10:40] <fffffs> linux had betrayed unix-way?
[10:40] <Dr_Willis> You could set up 'sudoers' to allow it to run a specific command without needint the root password.. that should work for a script.
[10:40] <Solow> Dr_Willis, think i found it: intel graphics media accelerator HD
[10:40] <Dr_Willis> fffffs:  No idea. i havent ran a actual 'unix' in many many years...
[10:40] <Dr_Willis> !intel | Solow
[10:40] <funyun> Dr_Willis: the only option i have is to login through terminal
[10:40] <Dr_Willis> Solow:  you may want to check the forums for that exact brand.
[10:40] <Solow> Dr_Willis, this is 10.10
[10:40] <zabka_> Dr_Willis: thanks, let me try
[10:41] <Dr_Willis> funyun:  try 'startx' and see if any errors show up.
[10:41] <Solow> but never mind, I'm sick of ubuntu anyway, it never works :p
[10:41] <Dr_Willis> Solow:  demand a refund.
[10:41] <Aeronius> :)
[10:41] <nomtv80> or try redhat
[10:41] <Solow> Dr_Willis, ha-ha. Imma just use windows 7. at least this does work :p
[10:41] <Aeronius> When I log in, my name's all over everything, so am I broadcasting my name all over the internet everywhere I go?
[10:41] <nomtv80> make that isht work
[10:42] <fffffs> why the hell I need separate account on QA forums?
[10:42] <Dr_Willis> Solow:  i spent several days last week fighting with windows 7... i will pass..
[10:42] <funyun> Dr_Willis: xinit: no such file or directory {errno 2}: unable to connect to X server
[10:42] <Solow> Dr_Willis, I never had any issues with it. so...
[10:42] <nomtv80> if you can't get linux to run on your machine, then yes just go ahead and use windows
[10:42] <Dr_Willis> Solow:  and ive had very few issues with linux... so...
[10:42] <funyun> Dr_Willis: No such process. server error
[10:42] <cablop> sigh, my system is in a locked state
[10:43] <Solow> Never had issues with linux. just ubuntu.
[10:43] <exboy> who is the best ubuntu ? any idea i need to install in my laptop
[10:43] <Dr_Willis> funyun:  what was yoru video chipset again?
[10:43] <fffffs> exboy, linux is not the best choice for laptops
[10:43] <nomtv80> put the cd into the drive exboy
[10:43] <nomtv80> then turn the comp on
[10:43] <nomtv80> linux is fine on laptops?
[10:44] <Dr_Willis> nomtv80:  it works fine on my Toshiba X505 and my older laptops
[10:44] <nomtv80> unless they are from beirut?
[10:44] <Aeronius> linux has worked fine on my laptops
[10:44] <Aeronius> I love it, blows windows out of the water
[10:44] <sbeck_> :-)
[10:44] <nomtv80> i love me some win7
[10:44] <Aeronius> When I log in, my name's all over everything, so am I broadcasting my name all over the internet everywhere I go?
[10:45] <funyun> Dr_Willis: nvidia geforce gt 330m
[10:45] <nomtv80> if linux ran adobe apps, i'd never use windows
[10:45] <suigeneris> how do I bring the screen to its normal size? I accidentally hit some key and scrolled
[10:45] <Darkforest> I use win7 and Ubuntu side by side on my laptop and end up using ubuntu more than windows
[10:45] <Nemis> i use ubuntu or debian for work and internet, and windows for pc games
[10:45] <nomtv80> depends on what i'm doing, admin, ubuntu, windows, adobe stuff and games
[10:45] <Dr_Willis> funyun:  i got a 360m in my laptop. let me check what drivers its using.
[10:45] <Aeronius> When I log into my laptop, my name's all over everything (first and last), and on the command line, my first name is in it twice, so am I broadcasting my name all over the internet everywhere I go?
[10:46] <funyun> Dr_Willis: alright
[10:46] <rigved> if game developers start developing ubuntu version of games, I would stop using windows!!!
[10:46] <wasabi> for ubuntu server, what do you guys recommend as an alternative to webmin?
[10:46] <suigeneris> Aeronius no
[10:46] <Solow> how about fedora? fedora is pretty good too right?
[10:46] <nomtv80> cpanel license
[10:46] <Dr_Willis> Aeronius:  command line? its shhowing the home dir and user name....
[10:46] <Dr_Willis> Aeronius:  thats your bash prompt.
[10:46] <Aeronius> yes
[10:46] <fffffs> Aeronius, no, but use codenames if it unsets you
[10:46] <Aeronius> my bash prompt has my first name twice
[10:46] <Nemis> rigved they should develop something like virtual runtime machine, like a framework, on which all the games woul work and it would be crossplatform
[10:46] <nomtv80> or using command lie
[10:46] <nomtv80> line*
[10:47] <rigved> :)
[10:47] <Dr_Willis> Aeronius:  thats your bash PROMPT...
[10:47] <Aeronius> first@first-laptop:~$
[10:47] <sbeck_> Aeronius: first name twice: one of it would be your host name
[10:47] <Dr_Willis> !bash
[10:47] <rigved> Aeronius: username@laptop-name:~$
[10:47] <nomtv80> lol
[10:48] <fffffs> Aeronius, edit .bashrc to change the prompt
[10:48] <Dr_Willis> your user name is 'first' and yoru pcs name is 'first-laptop' how original....
[10:48] <nomtv80> !bash
[10:48] <Dr_Willis> :)
[10:48] <Darkforest> Never use your real full name in any software. No chance for it to be broad cast
[10:48] <Dr_Willis> Your home dir is also /home/first
[10:48] <awox> nn all/wc
[10:48] <Aeronius> I wasn't going for originality, I was trying to keep things simple
[10:48] <Dr_Willis> I always use 'bill gates' :)
[10:48] <Aeronius> lol
[10:48] <jk> anyone know how I can disable cups on 10.10?
[10:48] <Aeronius> Is there an easy way to change it?
[10:48] <sbeck_> jk, why do you want to do so ?
[10:48] <Dr_Willis> jk:  disale the cups service in /etc/init/
[10:48] <fffffs> Aeronius, you mean 'Aaron'?
[10:49] <Dr_Willis> Aeronius:  change what? why are you worried about it.
[10:49] <Aeronius> :)
[10:49] <rigved> sarcasm?
[10:49] <Aeronius> I just don't really like it
[10:49] <Aeronius> Sometimes I want to be anonymous
[10:50] <Dr_Willis> Aeronius:  the bash prompt? ->         export PS1='--->
[10:50] <jk> sbeck_: something's  broadcasting on the network here, causing network ports to be shut, and I suspect cups (although it's configured to only search on 127.0.0.1) :P
[10:50] <Aeronius> Like if I'm in an internet cafe
[10:50] <Dr_Willis> oops a extra ' at the end.
[10:50] <jk> Dr_Willis: thanks
[10:50] <fffffs> Aeronius, use usermod and hostname to change corresponding names
[10:50] <Dr_Willis> jk:  as a test/temp ' sudo service SERVICENAME stop'
[10:51] <Aeronius> if I have a command prompt window open, it says my name twice in the name bar, the same at the bottom of the screen, and twice on every bash prompt
[10:51] <jk> Dr_Willis: yah, already did that, but i want it to not come up on boot for now. Want to keep testing a few days...
[10:51] <Dr_Willis> Aeronius:  thats your bash prompt.. and not  a security issue...
[10:51] <Aeronius> usermod and host name
[10:51] <Dr_Willis> !hostname
[10:52] <Dr_Willis> !user
[10:52] <Dr_Willis> change your hostname and username if you want.
[10:52] <Aeronius> is that going to break anything?
[10:52] <Aeronius> potentially?
[10:53] <fffffs> Aeronius, it shouldn't
[10:53] <riddick> ...
[10:53] <Dr_Willis> Aeronius:  but its work for very little gain.

[10:57] <funyun> Dr_Willis: any idea how i can get back to the desktop?
[10:57] <Dr_Willis> funyun:  you could edit your xorg.conf and change the    Driver         "nvidia"     line to be  Driver "nv"    and try 'startx' again. there maybe a backup xorg.conf also
[10:57] <tnm> is the command "sudo aptitude update" working in ubunu 10.10?
[10:57] <Aeronius> ok, I set my bash prompt not having any idea that I was actually doing it...
[10:57] <Dr_Willis> funyun:  in /etc/X11/ there may be a xorg.conf.original or similary anmed file.
[10:57] <Aeronius> Can I make it go back to default?
[10:57] <Dr_Willis> Aeronius:       export PS1='Whateveryouwanthere   '
[10:58] <Dr_Willis> Aeronius:  or source .bashrc or .profile perhaps...
[10:58] <Dr_Willis> 'source .bashrc'
[10:58] <Dr_Willis> or just open a new terminal

[11:05] <Aeronius> fffffs: what does the prompt you suggested do?
[11:06] <Dr_Willis> Aeronius:  i think it was wrong anyway.. its 'PS1' to set the bash prompt..
[11:06] <Dr_Willis> Unless theres been some changes ive not seen :)
[11:06] <funyun> Dr_Willis: alright. i'm i've used sudo. i can move down. but not left or right
[11:06] <Aeronius> yeah, but $P$G?

[11:18] <Aeronius> ok
[11:18] <Aeronius> well I'll find it and work on it later
[11:19] <Aeronius> thanks Dr_Willis !!!

[11:20] <mr_daniel> ok, it's 2.32. And what is the gtk version?

[11:23] <McIntyreS> permisions on a USB stick
[11:23] <McIntyreS> ive never had that issue
[11:23] <McIntyreS> how is the USB stick formated
[11:23] <McIntyreS> I format mine as NTSF
[11:24] <McIntyreS> then my windows machine or mac can read and write to this
[11:24] <furi> McIntyreS: i believe NTFS, but i've had this problem with all of the disks i have, and i have four, all from different manufacturers, like HP
[11:24] <McIntyreS> so you drop the file onto the pen
[11:24] <Syria> Why do i always get the updates  information is outdated when there are no new updates available??
[11:24] <McIntyreS> and when you put it to a windows machine
[11:24] <McIntyreS> it says you do not have permision
[11:25] <furi> McIntyreS: pretty much
[11:25] <furi> McIntyreS: i mean, on the windows PC, i tick the read-only box to make it not read-only, and it says it changed it, but when i go back into the properties, it's the same thing
[11:26] <karthick87> how to install gdmflexiserver in ubuntu 10.04?
[11:26] <Syria> !puregnome
[11:33] <Kingsy> in ubuntu how do you go about setting a static IP address?
[11:34] <Gnea> Kingsy: with networkmanager
[11:35] <geekfu> exit
[11:35] <geekfu> exit
[11:35] <Kingsy> Gnea - yea I am looking at it.. but I don't really get it, see I am using wireless,.. so you click on wireless then its asking me to choose the network name.. ?
[11:35] <danboid> 'Lock screen' isn't activated under screensaver and I've just turned off 'put display to sleep' but is there any other reason why I might be getting logged out after a certain time under Maverick? Shuts all my apps and logs me out!
[11:35] <Kingsy> does that mean that if I connect to another network my IP address will change?
[11:36] <Gnea> Kingsy: well if you're on wireless you don't want a static ip
[11:37] <Gnea> static ip's are for wired connections
[11:37] <Kingsy> Gnea - I wanted to use port forwarding tho, so I could have an FTP on my latop
[11:37] <Kingsy> laptop*
[11:38] <Gnea> Kingsy: you can still do that
[11:38] <Solow> ubuntu 10.04 doest work as well. come ooooooooooon
[11:38] <Gnea> Solow: works just fine here
[11:38] <ceaze> Hello All
[11:39] <Kingsy> Gnea - well in the port forwarding rules I need to set the local ip address of my machine.. if this changes then that rule will be redundent
[11:39] <Solow> Gnea, yes, not here. I really tried :p giving up now. bi
[11:39] <Kingsy> Gnea - all I wanna do is make sure that my laptop is always 192.168.0.50 or something
[11:39] <Gnea> Kingsy: I don't understand, are you trying to forward a port on the laptop or on another system to the laptop?
[11:40] <Kingsy> Gnea - from the router to the laptop
[11:40] <Gnea> Kingsy: k, is the router a linux system or do you mean cable/dsl modem?
[11:40] <Kingsy> Gnea - its just a cable modem
[11:40] <ceaze> ANYONE knows some good gaming emulators that work in Ubuntu???
[11:40] <Gnea> Kingsy: k, is the wireless built into the cable modem?
[11:41] <Gnea> !anyone
[11:41] <Gnea> ceaze: yeah, plenty
[11:41] <Kingsy> Gnea - no the wireless is on a seperate device
[11:41] <ceaze> Gnea, please tell me some
[11:41] <Kingsy> Gnea: so perhaps it wont be that easy :S
[11:42] <Dr_Willis> ceaze:  theres several emulators in the repos..
[11:42] <Gnea> ceaze: well there's a lot in the gaming section, check synaptic or the software center
[11:42] <Dr_Willis> !info mame
[11:42] <ceaze> Gnea, what should I search there?
[11:42] <Gnea> Kingsy: is the wireless ap plugged into the modem too?
[11:42] <Gnea> ceaze: emulator
[11:42] <Kingsy> Gnea - yup
[11:42] <ceaze> gnea, k
[11:43] <Gnea> Kingsy: so this means you have admin rights on the wifi router?
[11:43] <Kingsy> Gnea - yea
[11:44] <ceaze> Dr_Willis, mame doesn't work for me. When I type this in terminal = "mame home/user(my username)/desktop/dbz" It says cannot find required files but all of them are there
[11:44] <Gnea> Kingsy: your problem is solved then. just don't reset it and you'll likely get the same IP everytime. I've gone for months and had the same IP from a wifi ap, it never changed because I never flushed the settings.
[11:44] <Dr_Willis> ceaze:  i would  say you are using it wrong.. it needs to be confiofgured in a very specific way.
[11:45] <Kingsy> ah ok .. nice one
[11:45] <Kingsy> so just do a ifconfig and get the local IP of the machine and setup the rule as normal then :)
[11:45] <Dr_Willis> ceaze:  mame is very 'special' in many ways. use a front end to it - perhaps
[11:45] <Gnea> ceaze: some games work, some don't, you just have to try it with a few
[11:45] <Gnea> ceaze: plus mame can be finiky with certain settings
[11:46] <Kingsy> mame ROCKS
[11:46] <Gnea> and yes, use a GUI with mame :)
[11:46] <lapion> anyone having problems with no username showing next on the "indcator Applet Session" panel plugin ?
[11:46] <ceaze> Dr_Willis and Gnea, Please explain me the steps
[11:47] <lapion> anyone having problems with no username showing next to the power pulldown on the "indcator Applet Session" panel plugin ?
[11:47] <Dr_Willis> ceaze:  install a mame front end. check mame docs/guides.. your stuff needs to be in the .mame directory in specific directories i recall.
[11:47] <Dr_Willis> ceaze:  or use the front end to tell it where the dirs are at.
[11:47] <ceaze> Dr_Willis, where is the mame directory in ubuntu???
[11:50] <Kingsy> Gnea - works like a charm.. cheers man
[11:52] <wuhou> hello
[11:52] <eZet> When dragging bookmarks in chrome, the folders on the bookmarks toolbar won't open when I hover over them. Only happens in Ubuntu though, any suggestions ?
[11:52] <Xeross> Whenever I install my video drivers the Ubuntu bootscreen stops working normally, the logo gets replaced by some pixelized text saying Ubuntu 10.10 any way to prevent that
[11:53] <lmontrie> Xeross: which video drivers?
[11:53] <Xeross> lmontrie: The FGLRX ones from the Ubuntu repository (And the official ones from NVidia)
[11:53] <Xeross> Ehm ATI*
[11:54] <sw0rdfish> !usb
[11:54] <lmontrie> Xeross: then no, there's nothing you can do about it I'm afraid
[11:54] <eZet> You can fix it through start-up manager
[11:54] <stix_> Hi guys. I am trying to troubleshoot a vpn-connection. Which log-file is written when the message about about vpn fails is shown?
[11:54] <sw0rdfish> !burningusb
[11:54] <Xeross> lmontrie: Could you elaborate
[11:54] <Dr_Willis> ceaze:  whever you set the configs to look for it.. the front ends let you change it.. or you edit the proper mamerc files
[11:54] <lmontrie> stix_: /var/log/daemon if it's an openvpn connection
[11:55] <Dr_Willis> ceaze:  mine is in  ~/.mame/
[11:55] <Xeross> Basically the loading lights still show, the logo is gone, and some console output leaks through
[11:55] <lmontrie> Xeross: plymouth doesn't work with the nvidia drivers
[11:55] <eZet> Xeross: Install start-up manager, it lets you change the resolution. You can do it manually but start-up manager is the easiest way.
[11:55] <Xeross> lmontrie: I accidentally said nvidia I meant ATI
[11:55] <stix_> lmontrie, I have installed the vpnc plugin for the network manager
[11:55] <lmontrie> Xeross: I don't know about ATI but I suspect you're just having the same problem
[11:55] <ceaze> eZet, Contact to Chrome or Report this bug to the website. Google must resolve it, or reinstall it.
[11:56] <ceaze> Dr_Willis, how to set configs??
[11:56] <Xeross> eZet: And changing the resolution during boot would fix plymouth crapping out
[11:56] <lmontrie> stix_: then it's not openvpn, but the logs might be in the same place, just have a look :)
[11:56] <Dr_Willis> ceaze:  ----------->  you edit the proper mamerc files
[11:56] <Dr_Willis> ceaze:  or... use a front end...
[11:57] <sw0rdfish> hey guys, is unetbootin the fastest/easiest way for me to burn an iso file to my usb stick?
[11:57] <lmontrie> sw0rdfish: yes
[11:57] <Dr_Willis> sw0rdfish:  one of the easiest ways yes.
[11:58] <eZet> Xeross: I had problems with pixelated text and low colordepth, fixed it through startup-manager. But perhaps it's a different issue.
[11:59] <Xeross> eZet: I am aiming at the plymouth bootscreen, it normally has this ubuntu logo image, but here it only has this fixedsys font like text saying Ubuntu 10.10
[11:59] <ceaze> sw0rdfish, If you want a fine default installation with any extra menu that is in Unetbootin then use Universal Usb Installer. It is the best. www.pendrivelinux.com
[11:59] <eZet> Yup, happens after intalling FGLRX.
[12:00] <eZet> Startup-manager, enable 'show bootsplash', set the resolution to preferred size and 24bit depth.
[12:00] <sw0rdfish> cool, ok
[12:00] <sw0rdfish> can i install the latest version of unetbootin through command line?
[12:00] <sw0rdfish> apt-get install unetbootin? i'm gonna try it now
[12:00] <dauthiwarlord> eZet: I would like to know how to add a new resolution screen for my generic driver ... because max is 800x600, maybe the max 1024x768 please :)!
[12:00] <Dr_Willis> sw0rdfish:  proberly not the 'latest' version
[12:00] <sw0rdfish> thanks ceaze
[12:01] <sw0rdfish> Dr_Willis, yep i just found out
[12:01] <sw0rdfish> it would install 4.74 while 4.94 is the lastest i believe
[12:01] <Dr_Willis> sw0rdfish:  proberly wont matter.
[12:01] <ghufran> hi. how do i create a partitioned rar file? say 500 mb in size?
[12:01] <Dr_Willis> sw0rdfish:  if in ubuntu - the ubuntustarttup disk creator tool works.
[12:01] <ikonia> partitioned rar file ?
[12:01] <sw0rdfish> but i'm kinda in a hurry so i dunno i'll see if pendrivelinux is fast to install, if not then i'll just use command line for unetbootin
[12:01] <Dr_Willis> ghufran:  that makes no sence.
[12:01] <eZet> dauthiwarlord: Not sure how to do that, sorry.
[12:02] <sw0rdfish> Dr_Willis, you're proberly right :)
[12:02] <sw0rdfish> even for usb?
[12:02] <sw0rdfish> yes in ubuntu! ofc! man
[12:02] <ghufran> Dr_Willis, why not?
[12:02] <Dr_Willis> sw0rdfish:  system -> admin -> usb startup maker.
[12:02] <Dr_Willis> ghufran:  you partition 'hard drives' and put filesystems on them...
[12:02] <Dr_Willis> ghufran:   an archive is a collection of files.....
[12:02] <sw0rdfish> i'm in maverick
[12:02] <ghufran> Dr_Willis, im talking about an archive.
[12:02] <Dr_Willis> ghufran:  so.. what EXACTLY are you trying to do?
[12:03] <DeaCon> is there a support list for 3g usb modems ?
[12:03] <sw0rdfish> that option is not there
[12:03] <Dr_Willis> sw0rdfish:  system admin -> sartup disk creator is here...
[12:03] <ghufran> Dr_Willis, there are collections where there are multiple archives that when extracted become the complete data
[12:03] <Dr_Willis> on 10.10
[12:03] <Dr_Willis> ghufran:  you mean make a 'split' rar archive then?
[12:03] <dauthiwarlord> eZet:I'm asking this because I have used already Riplinux, and automatically gives me 1024x768 screen resolution ... and ubuntu 10 ... just gives me 800x600 ... there's a way to know or copy some kind of xorg.config .. or something ?
[12:03] <sw0rdfish> Dr_Willis, that option is not there, could it be because i'm in Maverick?
[12:04] <sw0rdfish> lolz at first you said "usb startup maker" Dr_Willis
[12:04] <Dr_Willis> sw0rdfish:  they keep renameing the tool.
[12:04] <ceaze> sw0rdfish, Its system-admin-gparted partition editor
[12:04] <ghufran> Dr_Willis, yes. if thats what its called
[12:04] <sw0rdfish> oh its the same tool!
[12:04] <sw0rdfish> awesome
[12:04] <Dr_Willis> sw0rdfish:  same wih the hardware-drivers tool
[12:04] <Draknek> I'm getting a "Could not create a backup file" message from gedit, but when I choose "save anyway" it doesn't save and the message pops back up immediately
[12:04] <sw0rdfish> Dr_Willis, is it used for both CD and USB burning?
[12:04] <Dr_Willis> ghufran: check the rar man pages . or use some other archiver format.
[12:04] <Dr_Willis> sw0rdfish:  it puts iso -> usb..
[12:04] <Dr_Willis> sw0rdfish:  nothing to do with burning cd's that i know of.
[12:04] <Jordan_U> ghufran: Right click > Compress...  "Other options" drop down menu.
[12:04] <sw0rdfish> cool cool
[12:05] <ghufran> Dr_Willis, i tried reading tar man page. didnt see any option
[12:05] <sw0rdfish> thanks Dr_Willis
[12:05] <Dr_Willis> ghufran:  tar would be doing it old skool..  via tar, and the split/join/cat commands...
[12:06] <Dr_Willis> ghufran:  if you want to use 'rar' you would want the rar man pages/docs.
[12:06] <ghufran> Dr_Willis, any suggestions for the right tool? command line
[12:06] <Dr_Willis> sudo apt-get install rar
[12:06] <khem_> what is the name of the new window manager in Ubuntu, and anyone have access to any screenshots of it uploaded on the web?
[12:07] <ceaze> khem_, window list
[12:07] <anton> how can i copy a certain amount of bytes from one file to another?
[12:08] <juk> anton: dd
[12:08] <Jordan_U> ghufran: 7zip also supports this. man 7za, you want the "-v" option.
[12:08] <Dr_Willis> i woudl reccomend 7zip over rar.....

[12:14] <patrick_> HallO! I just install ubuntu 10.10. Then I installed the restricted nvidia driver. Now I have great 3d support but gnome looks shitty. The cool theme is gone, everything looks very old, icons, panel,... any idea what could be the problem?
[12:15] <vic20gmr> ceaze, thats all wel and good, but does anyone , including you, happen to have any ideas off the top of your head, while i create a launchpad account?

[12:21] <hihihi100> i mean 3*
[12:21] <Dr_Willis> hihihi100:  a % of the hd is reserved. and then theres space reserved for inodes and so forth

[12:35] <roooistok> hi, do someone know how can i participate to the klavaro top10 ?(the participate and update buttons are shadowed an can't use them) !!
[12:37] <Gnea> !modem | nicofs
[12:37] <Syria> Dr_Willis It works! thank you
[12:37] <Dr_Willis> I think he wanted 3g.. thats not the same is it?
[12:37] <Gnea> Dr_Willis: it's included
[12:38] <juk> nicofs: you sure it's not a mobile?
[12:38] <nicofs> Gnea: I don't want to dial-up... I want an old-fashioned phone call...
[12:38] <Dr_Willis> so these 3g Modems are seen as Dialup modems?  Or do youmean the guide included both ways? :)
[12:38] <Dr_Willis> nicofs:  heh.. oh. :) not sure about that.
[12:38] <nicofs> juk: it's a netbook I can put a SIM-card into...
[12:38] <Gnea> nicofs: for phone calls, you'll need a phone.
[12:38] <juk> nicofs: fascinating
[12:39] <Gnea> nicofs: okay, the point of putting a simcard into a notebook is to get on the 'net with it, then you can use skype
[12:39]  * Dr_Willis pictures holding a netbook up to his ear.
[12:39] <nicofs> Gnea: But why? what specifications has a phone that my netbook hasn't?
[12:39] <Gnea> nicofs: your netbook is a computer, not a telephone. it's that simple.
[12:40] <nicofs> Gnea: and why do smartphones what a netbook can do?
[12:40] <nicofs> Gnea: technically, my netbook has all you need for a phone call, just not the software...
[12:40] <epicgoboman> yo
[12:41] <Gnea> nicofs: have you ever seen a computer make a phone call like that before?
[12:41] <Gnea> nicofs: smartphones don't count.
[12:41] <nicofs> Gnea: How do you think, professional hotlies work?
[12:41] <Dr_Willis> I got a skype phone that uses wifi.. does it count? :)
[12:41] <epicgoboman> anyone that uses touchscreen on 10.10?
[12:41] <Gnea> nicofs: that's different.
[12:41] <nicofs> Gnea: technically not.
[12:41] <twbd> epicgoboman, i have a tablet, so not really a touchscreen but close
[12:42] <Gnea> nicofs: uh, technically, yes. they're using voip.
[12:42] <Jehah> #debian
[12:42] <epicgoboman> oh okey, i just can't understand how i calibrate the touchscreen
[12:42] <nicofs> Gnea: ok. fair point. but there is software to send SMS. why not phone?
[12:42] <epicgoboman> i've tried using egalax but it says it can't find any touchscreen
[12:43] <Gnea> nicofs: my original question stands: have you ever seen or used a computer to make a telephone call, using a telephone line directly?
[12:44] <Dr_Willis> back in dialup days. ive seen people ask similer question.. neer did see any actual way to do it.. Other then some sort of callwaiting/switchover..
[12:44] <nicofs> Gnea: not as such. I did send and receive SMS so far. that's the same protocoll as a phone call. why shouldn't it work? an iPhone can surf and phone. I don't see why my netbook shouldn't... and (evil argument) in windows there is software for that...
[12:45] <Gnea> nicofs: no offense, but how old are you?
[12:45] <nicofs> Gnea: 22, studying informatics...
[12:45] <Gnea> oh, and SMS is *NOT* the same protocol as a standard voice call.
[12:45] <nicofs> Gnea: ok, but it is mobile phone functionallity...
[12:46] <Gnea> nicofs: then the probability that you've seen or used a standard telephone with an rj-11 connection is.... quite low.
[12:46] <graphitemaster> i want everyone to know that after 4 days and countless hours of trouble I finally figured out how to fix ever issue regarding snd-hdl-intel sound chips.
[12:46] <Gnea> nicofs: SMS is for sending text messages, not voice calls.
[12:46] <twbd> Gnea, i'm 22 too and i've seen rj-11 pretty much, still use it actually
[12:46] <Gnea> twbd: then you're one of the rare
[12:46] <graphitemaster> I finally figured out a good way to make it work, xine + kmix or dmix with plain alsa ( pulse totally ruins everything and causes too many issues )
[12:47] <Dr_Willis> graphitemaster:  write up a howto/wiki page on it :)
[12:47] <graphitemaster> I'm :P
[12:47] <tuxzz> hi
[12:47] <vic20gmr> im currently trying to figure out if it would be worth it for me to try ndis, or if im better off using ubuntu drivers for my wusb54g [rt2500 chip]
[12:47] <vic20gmr> anyone?
[12:47] <Dr_Willis> vic20gmr:  i thought the hdiswrappers were slowly geting phased out.
[12:47] <Gnea> most kids today don't even understand the value of email, they think it's too slow compared to IM
[12:47] <Dr_Willis> Gnea:  and they wont stay off my lawn! :)
[12:48] <graphitemaster> why use ubuntu drivers -> madwifi
[12:48] <vic20gmr> i dont know if they are or not
[12:48] <Gnea> vic20gmr: I prefer to stay away from ndis
[12:48] <vic20gmr> Dr_Willis, assuming they are not, do you have any idea how i might go about decide if i should ty them, or just stick with what i already have?
[12:48] <twbd> Gnea, it probably depends a lot on where you live, here it is a bit everything (im, mobile-phone, sms, email, most people still have a regular rj-11 phone line here)
[12:49] <graphitemaster> vic20gmr: if it ain't broke don't fix it >.>
[12:49] <vic20gmr> Gnea, i prefer to have wifi working/working well
[12:49] <vic20gmr> it is broke, thats why im here
[12:49] <Dr_Willis> vic20gmr:  does what you have not work?  if so i guess you can try.. but every time i hear of ndiswrappers.. its always a 'desperate' attempt .
[12:49] <tuxzz> What im sotware do you usually use?
[12:49] <djystyler> jo
[12:50] <Dr_Willis> vic20gmr:  id be tempted to say try the next alpha-release as a 'test' to see if it works.. if not file a bug report on it NOW :) so it may get fixed in 11.04
[12:50] <graphitemaster> vic20gmr: if you want to use a nice working driver stick to madwifi ( I use it for everything )
[12:50] <vic20gmr> Dr_Willis, in windows xp, on exactly the same computer/setup i get better wifi "speeds", than i do under ubuntu
[12:50] <Gnea> nicofs: the bottom line is, it can't be done. why? because no one has done it. however, if you're electronically inclined and clever enough, you could likely patch something together in order to make it happen, but no, just because you put a simcard into a laptop doesn't turn it into a phone, it turns it into a cellular modem.
[12:50] <djystyler> #ubuntu-de-offtopic
[12:51] <Gnea> vic20gmr: that's why I prefer to stay away from ndis - and rt chips are generally well-supported
[12:51] <tuxzz> Don't lost novice,everyone.
[12:51] <vic20gmr> graphitemaster, and 1]how do i determine wether or not im alrady using that, and 2]if im not, where do i leanr more about before i try it?
[12:51] <nicofs1> Gnea: I'm not an expert, but when I start a dial-up connection, basically I am starting a phone call already, albeit dialling a special number... using my netbook to phone seems to be a small step from there...
[12:51] <Gnea> !wifi | vic20gmr
[12:52] <graphitemaster> 1 I can tell you right now you're not using it, and 2 google
[12:52] <Gnea> vic20gmr: if you follow that link, there's a list of supported cards - I wouldn't say it's entirely up to date, but it might have what you're looking for
[12:52] <vic20gmr> Gnea, is that for his suggestion specifically?
[12:52] <graphitemaster> and 3 the ubuntu wifi does not mention madwifi >.>
[12:53] <Dr_Willis> vic20gmr:  theres been a lot of work in wireless drivers for 10.10 - a lot of prople have had issues with specific chipsets/variants of chipsets.   I see a few in here almost every day
[12:53] <Gnea> nicofs1: I understand why you'd think that way, but think about this: does your netbook actually have a modem on it that can be used by, say, minicom?
[12:53] <graphitemaster> assuming you have a basic knowledge of compiling you should be-able to install a "proper" madwifi driver that works
[12:53] <vic20gmr> Dr_Willis, im currently in 10.04
[12:53] <Gnea> vic20gmr: 10.04 is a good place to be
[12:54] <graphitemaster> 10.10 is 10.04 + broken things >.>
[12:54] <hihihi100> k
[12:54] <epicgoboman> do you suggest to downgrade to 10.04?
[12:54] <graphitemaster> no
[12:54] <Dr_Willis> epicgoboman:  it depends on your needs.
[12:54] <epicgoboman> ok ok
[12:54] <Gnea> graphitemaster: nice analogy
[12:55] <Dr_Willis> some things were fixed in 10.10 for me.
[12:55] <vic20gmr> epicgoboman,  if everything is working the way you want it to, just stay put! :)
[12:55]  * graphitemaster knows people who're using 8.x still >.>
[12:55] <vic20gmr> my 2c, anyway
[12:55] <Dr_Willis> graphitemaster:  i see people in here using 6.x and 7.x every so often
[12:55] <graphitemaster> It makes me laugh how in gods name people constantly break crap in ubuntu?
[12:55] <nicofs1> Gnea: it has a modem I can put my SIM card in... as for minicom - no idea. would it help if I tried? wavemon did work.
[12:56] <vic20gmr> people break it?
[12:56] <Dr_Willis> People are good at breaking anything.
[12:56] <Gnea> nicofs1: I don't know about wavemon, but yeah, minicom would be worth a shot if you're familiar with terminal dialup
[12:56] <vic20gmr> just people in general? or a specific group of people? *cogh*devs*cough*
[12:57] <nicofs1> Gnea: what should I try to do with it? dial-up to the internet?
[12:57] <graphitemaster> vic20gmr: every day :P It started with GNOME then pulseaudio and well if you can fine me one sane person who uses GNOME there not sane they're insane >.> ( ubuntu - GNOME is okay - still pretty bad ) try using GNOMe on debian dear god >.> I'll stik to KDE non ubuntu edition.
[12:57] <graphitemaster> * kubuntu edition
[12:58] <Dr_Willis> kubuntu 10.10  = has gotten very nice.
[12:58] <Gnea> nicofs1: holy cow, you've been trying to do this since June?
[12:58] <graphitemaster> yes it did and  just installed it.
[12:58] <graphitemaster> and removed kubuntu-desktop right away..
[12:58] <Dr_Willis> vic20gmr:  my wife can break anything.
[12:58] <graphitemaster> and compiled KDE4 from source
[12:58] <Gnea> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1428037
[12:58] <nicofs1> Gnea: well, since I've got this netbook... but I have to study most of my time, so can attend to this only occasionally...
[12:59] <vic20gmr> graphitemaster, 1st] what do you sue? and 2nd] why are you in buntu forums, if ur using kde, in something other than ubuntu?
[12:59] <vic20gmr> heh
[12:59] <graphitemaster> vic20gmr: I came here to sort out issues with people who are having audio issues with snd-hda-intel
[12:59] <graphitemaster> seems there is none: i'll be ideling ...
[13:00] <vic20gmr> ahh
[13:00] <vic20gmr> graphitemaster, thats one q answered.... :)
[13:00] <graphitemaster> it's amazing that 95% of all my audio issues where solved by installing some alsa modules ( provided by the ubuntu repos ) and killing pulseaudio
[13:00] <Gnea> nicofs1: understandable, but consider this: modems were designed to pass data along a phone line, not a voice call
[13:01] <nicofs1> Gnea: The thing is: I sit at my desk, and all communication runs through my netbook. Chat, IRC, VoIP, Mail... only my mobil lies next to my netbook. you see how that idea evolved...
[13:01] <vic20gmr> graphitemaster, i understand kde to be more resource hungry than gnome? what is your take on this?
[13:01] <graphitemaster> bahahahahahaha
[13:01] <graphitemaster> trolll alert
[13:01] <vic20gmr> or anyone elses ake
[13:02] <Gnea> nicofs1: yes, and you're not the first one to think of it :)
[13:02] <nicofs1> Gnea: I totally understand... but when I still had windows, there was software for that - and it buggers me that there is no such thing in linux...
[13:02] <etheretic> Hello! I run 10.10 MM on an Acer Aspire 150 notebook. The orange TX wifi indicator light works, but not the RX green one. How to fix this?
[13:02] <iljo> hi, i am new to ubuntu, or linux environment for that matter
[13:03] <graphitemaster> vic20gmr: first and formoest GNOME is a pretty large and demending de, by default it's pretty minimal as soon as you start enabiling compizioning and installing all these fancy effects it just fails
[13:03] <graphitemaster> it becomes totally unstable
[13:03] <iljo> i just want to know where can i turn to for some c++ help?
[13:03] <Syria> I have installed hplip from sourceforge installed it but now i want to remove it because it is making conflicts, how can i do that?
[13:03] <Gnea> nicofs1: http://www.modemsite.com/56k/voice.asp
[13:03] <vic20gmr> well i have effects shut off, cuz im not on the latest and greates hw
[13:03] <Gnea> nicofs1: the software was there, for sure, but only if the hardware supported it
[13:04] <vic20gmr> does thathelp alleviate some of those problems?
[13:04] <graphitemaster> however with KDE the resources maybe a bit high at first, though when you enable all the fancy effcts it uses way less resources then compiz+emerlad+gtk and all thise stuff stacked ontop of each other like some joke
[13:04] <eightyone> hello all!
[13:04] <rockingwing> hi all
[13:04] <yancey>  :)
[13:04] <etheretic> Should mention that both green and orange lights work on the ethernet port.
[13:04] <Syria> Gusy how can i uninstall hplip-3.10.9 please?
[13:04] <nicofs1> Gnea: supposed my hardware does - where is that software for linux???
[13:05] <graphitemaster> iljo: go to ##C++
[13:05] <vic20gmr> graphitemaster, so u mean gnome has to add layers to get the same thing as kde with fewer/no added laers
[13:05] <vic20gmr> ?
[13:05] <iljo> already found it, thanks anyways
[13:05] <rockingwing> heya... got a problem with my sound on maverick... already posted it on launchpad, but the fixes dont work for me =/
[13:05] <graphitemaster> vic20gmr: GNOME adds nothing yet GNOME is nothing
[13:06] <Gnea> nicofs1: not sure that it exists
[13:06] <juk> nicofs1: where's your ca$h?
[13:06] <graphitemaster> GNOME is nothing without compiz and all these fancy plugins
[13:06] <vic20gmr> graphitemaster, is reall the riddler from 60s batman!
[13:06] <vic20gmr> really*
[13:06] <graphitemaster> to get the same appeal as KDE in GNOME you need more addons which uses more resources
[13:07] <nicofs1> juk: ca$h?!?
[13:07] <vic20gmr> that seems to be a longer "yes" to my question
[13:07] <juk> nicofs1: it's not personal
[13:07] <graphitemaster> so in turn if you want more fancy effects for less of price in resources then GO WITH KDE
[13:07] <graphitemaster> if you don;t want fancy effects but a less resource hungry desktop then use GNOME
[13:08] <rockingwing> Someone of the Ubuntu Audio Team here?
[13:08] <graphitemaster> well if you want a less resourc desktop use LXDEor XFCE
[13:08] <graphitemaster> rockingwing: whast your problem?
[13:08] <graphitemaster> *whats
[13:08] <rockingwing> got no sound on ubuntu 10.10 with an acer aspire 7736zg ^^
[13:09] <graphitemaster> pastebin the output of lsmod
[13:09] <vic20gmr> graphitemaster, i tried lubuntu, but it was a pain in the butt to get games going, i admittedly didnt try as hard as i couldve, but adding stuff to it, and the menu,etc

[13:12] <rockingwing> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/617647 <-- here are several fixes written... but every fix doesnt work for me :s
[13:12] <Gnea> nicofs: well, considering the historical context of linux, I don't think there was ever any kind of need for it
[13:13] <murmurs> hi
[13:13] <graphitemaster> rockingwing: try this
[13:13] <graphitemaster> rockingwing: open up a terminal, and type sudo -i ( for somr root )
[13:13] <graphitemaster> rockingwing: then type killall pulseaudio
[13:13] <graphitemaster> rockingwing: type pulseaudio
[13:14] <graphitemaster> and it should give some info
[13:14] <Good_D_ay> Hello friends, How can I unload the kerenl builtin driver? In my machine the USB mass storage is builtin and I want to unload that driver
[13:14] <graphitemaster> ptobably don't run as root use system nstead
[13:14] <graphitemaster> rockingwing: if there is soem red bold letters paste bin them please
[13:14] <erUSUL> Good_D_ay: if it is built in you can not unload it
[13:14] <Gnea> !blacklist | Good_D_ay
[13:15] <graphitemaster> rockingwing: if there is not then use ctrl+c to kill pulse in the terminal: use alt+f2 and then type pulseaudio to start the demaon back up in the background
[13:15] <vic20gmr> update on wifi, i found a link off a link provided to me by one you guys, it says mychipset is recommended by free software foundation, so ill take that as a good sign to stick with linux drivers
[13:15] <nicofs> Gnea: all I found was asterisk... but that's far too professional... and I found some how-tos to do it via console like with minicom or wavemon... maybe I should research that...
[13:15] <murmurs> I've been using MSN through Empathy for a month now and today, after I installed Google-talk (prism) on my system, I find that MSN no longer connects. I keep getting "Network error" as the response... is this due to installing Google Talk?
[13:16] <vic20gmr> but im still stymied by the fact that i get better performance out of win xp - i really am trying to get a windows free computer
[13:16] <Gnea> nicofs: yeah, asterisk requires special hardware too, it won't count your sim as such
[13:16] <Gnea> nicofs: I really don't get how wavemon would have anything to do with it...
[13:17] <Good_D_ay> erUSRL: Is there any way I can disable the USB mass storage powersupply ? I did tried looking into the /sys/bus/usb but nothing worked.
[13:17] <nicofs> Gnea: as far as I unterstand it, making a phone call is possible with wavemon...
[13:17] <Gnea> !info wavemon
[13:17] <nicofs> Gnea: or maybe it was even minicom I read about...
[13:17] <Gnea> with a monitoring application?
[13:18] <etheretic> Repeat - Hello! I run 10.10 MM on an Acer Aspire 150 notebook. The orange TX wifi indicator light works, but not the RX green one. How to fix this?
[13:18] <Gnea> nicofs: minicom can make a phone call, but unless you can somehow patch the speakers and mic into it, you're not going to get 2-way voice
[13:19] <nicofs> Gnea: sorry, I didn't mean wavemon but wvdial... my mistake
[13:19] <bilalakhtar> etheretic: What do you mean by RX and TX?
[13:19] <vic20gmr> i wonder if i might have a better time with 8.10
[13:19] <etheretic> bilalakhtar: send/receive.
[13:20] <Gnea> nicofs: wvdial would have to be severely hacked to do that sort of thing, as it's geared toward a data-only connection
[13:20] <bilalakhtar> etheretic: does internet work well?
[13:20] <Kingsy> ok, whats the deal with this, I have a tv with a vga port I am using as a monitor. I installed ubuntu on it, and for some reason, (this even happens with the livecd) it boots .. you can see the inital system diags etc and then the monitor goes off.. and doesnt come back on.. HOWEVER if you boot the machine with the tv OFF wait until it boots then turn the monitor on the desktop shows just fine.. how is that possible?
[13:20] <vic20gmr> well im off to try other thigs, thanks everyone
[13:20] <vic20gmr> ltrz
[13:20] <etheretic> bilalakhtar: a reserved "yes". Get "can't reset mac" errors intermittently.
[13:21] <mao> Anybody help me? How to close log. The folder is becoming too big. My system's edition is 10.10. Thank u guys.
[13:21] <nicofs> Gnea: well then I should look into minicom... I will not be defeated by my netbook...^^
[13:22] <sipior> etheretic: are you trying to force a specific mac address? does the address reported by ifconfig match the one on the chip?
[13:22] <etheretic> bilalakhtar: A rough sketch of right lower corner of the notebook: [green indicator light]-[WIFI label]-[orange indicator light]
[13:22] <Gnea> nicofs: that's the spirit! and I wouldn't give up on wvdial
[13:22] <eZet> Kingsy: Do you have any other monitors connected, or is it perhaps a laptop?
[13:23] <ML> Does anyone here have extensive Ubuntu knowledge?
[13:23] <etheretic> sipior: It's a vanilla install, no alterations.
[13:23] <aladoinsano> Im trying to start xmodmap -e 'keycode 118 = Return' automatically on login, via rc.local, but it refuses to run. It does work since i can type exactly that in the terminal and then it works
[13:23] <aladoinsano> any one know how i can run it automatically?
[13:23] <sipior> ML: easiest if you ask your question directly, and find out :-)
[13:23] <nicofs> Gnea: as soon as my exams are done I will see to it... what would be a good programming language for a gui? I don't exactly like java - but at least I know it...
[13:23] <Kingsy> eZet: no, its just a desktop pc. and no I don't have any other video output connected
[13:24] <Kingsy> eZet: just one vga cable to a tv monitor
[13:24] <ML> Since the recent spell of updates, anytime I open half of my programs, they go gray and freeze.
[13:24] <etheretic> sipior: It's mainly the rx light I'd like to fix.
[13:24] <etheretic> s/light/led
[13:24] <sipior> etheretic: is the problem apparent when connecting to other wireless networks?
[13:24] <Gnea> nicofs: C is always good..
[13:24] <eZet> If you boot with the tv on, does it work if you power the tv off and on again?
[13:25] <nicofs> Gnea: ok, why not learn C over christmas...
[13:25] <etheretic> sipior: It is regardless of network.
[13:25] <Gnea> nicofs: and gtk uses C
[13:25] <Kingsy> eZet: hmm not sure.. you gonna be around a while, I can get the live cd and test it out
[13:25] <ML> I've tried to remove and reinstall the programs that were really giving me grief, but they still gray-screen and freeze.
[13:26] <nicofs> Gnea: is there something like eclipse for C?
[13:26] <sipior> etheretic: what driver and chipset?
[13:26] <eZet> Kingsy: I won't unfortunately, but I'm sure someone else can help. I would find out if it does work if you turn the TV off/on again after booting and losing the picture though.
[13:26] <erUSUL> nicofs: eclipse has a C/C++ dev plugin
[13:26] <erUSUL> !ide | nicofs
[13:26] <Gnea> nicofs: eclipse can do that
[13:26] <Kingsy> eZet: I don't think if I remember rightly it does come back on, I think its just dead
[13:27] <Kingsy> eZet: what would you advise if thats the case?
[13:27] <etheretic> sipior: ath5k, AR5001
[13:27] <etheretic> sipior: ath5k, AR5001 rev. 1
[13:27] <eZet> Kingsy: I'm not sure tbh, sounds quite strange.
[13:28] <bilalakhtar> etheretic: sorry for the connection drop, I am now back
[13:28] <bilalakhtar> etheretic: but internet works, right? even though its a bit broken..
[13:29] <etheretic> bilalakhtar: yes.
[13:30] <bilalakhtar> etheretic: FIle a bug then
[13:30] <bilalakhtar> !filebug | etheretic
[13:30] <banker247> glxinfo | grep "direct rendering"
[13:30] <banker247> direct rendering: No (LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT set)
[13:30] <banker247> any input into this?
[13:31] <etheretic> bilalakhtar: is it worth it? It's not a functional issue, per se.
[13:31] <sipior> etheretic: does dmesg happen to report anything interesting when the driver loads?
[13:31] <banker247> i have ati mobility hd 2600.. shouldn't DRI be YES?
[13:31] <bilalakhtar> etheretic: The connection is constant?
[13:31] <etheretic> sipior: checking...
[13:32] <etheretic> sipior: it reports registering both rx and tx led devices.
[13:33] <iljo> err... why can't I post to ##c++?
[13:33] <erUSUL> !register | iljo
[13:34] <bilalakhtar> etheretic: if your connection is constant, and you are having no problem, then you may well ignore it, still it would be better if you filed a bug
[13:34] <iljo> oh, thank you very much
[13:35] <etheretic> sipior: salient dmesg bits @ http://paste.ubuntu.com/536301/
[13:35] <Serg1> Hey, does anybody know something about remote X sessions with audio?
[13:35] <Serg1> I've got everything working according to my needs except for audio on the remote session
[13:36] <etheretic> bilalakhtar: it may be a broken led. unlikely, but possible.
[13:36] <sipior> etheretic: looks normal. can you pastebin the output of ifconfig as well?
[13:36] <bilalakhtar> etheretic: your choice, if you think its a broken LED, then it would be better to stay safe and not file a bug
[13:36] <etheretic> sipior: sure.
[13:38] <etheretic> sipior: http://paste.ubuntu.com/536302/
[13:40] <sipior> etheretic: no dropped packets. i'm quite curious about the mac warnings you're seeing, but it doesn't appear to be affecting the quality of your connection.
[13:41] <etheretic> sipior: no - have .5-1MB/s total transfer rate atm.
[13:42] <sipior> etheretic: might simply be a cosmetic flaw of sorts in the driver. in any event, if it ain't broke... :-)
[13:42] <etheretic> sipior: tend to think along the same lines. :)
[13:43] <etheretic> sipior: maybe try with the ndis/windos driver?
[13:44] <sipior> etheretic: might be worth it, if it bugs you. frankly, i don't pay much attention to the rx/tx lights myself.
[13:44] <kulight> ubuntu 10.10 maxing out my network can any one help?
[13:44] <arriva13> hey guys
[13:44] <etheretic> sipior: as u said, it's cosmetic.
[13:44] <arriva13> i am seeking advice
[13:46] <arriva13> i am using ubuntu 10.10 with wubi, at the installation i dediceted inly 6GB for the installation, cos i only wanted to try...but now i would like to enlarge those 6GB to try it a bit longer, is it possible??
[13:46] <arriva13> dedicated only :)
[13:47] <kub0l> Hi all
[13:47] <kub0l> I have a question if i can
[13:48] <hetii> no :
[13:48] <hetii> :P
[13:48] <kub0l> I need to execude command when Ubuntu is loaded
[13:48] <kub0l> how can i do this?
[13:48] <hetii> add it to /etc/rc.local
[13:48] <kub0l> ok i'll try
[13:48] <hetii> before exit 0 ofc. :)
[13:49] <otak>  arriva13 . 6GB should be more than enough for ubuntu inc.openoffice, gimp etc.
[13:50] <arriva13> yes but after wownloading some updates and approx. 5 programs it says i only have 44 MBs left
[13:50] <Vladimir[LV]> hello! blurb = some advertisement ?
[13:50] <anfegame> hi, guys, i have a problem, anyone can help me creat a .sh script that auto shutsdown my computer everyday at a certain time
[13:50] <anfegame> ?
[13:50] <Oer> anfegame, use cron for time related jobs
[13:50] <Oer> !cron
[13:52] <kub0l> thanks guys! It works :)
[13:52] <Kingsy> ok this is the crack.. got a dell pc with a tv that I am using as a monitor (using the vga port) if I boot it with a ubuntu live cd I see the initial screen with the little picture of the man and the CD at the bottom and then the screen goes blue (goes dead) the system however is still booting.. if I turn the monitor off and on again it still doesnt come on.. however
[13:53] <otak> arriva13: sorry I didn't realise err..
[13:53] <Kingsy> here is the funny part.. if I have the monitor off when its booting and then turn it on ubuntu displays..
[13:53] <Kingsy> what is going on there??
[13:53] <anfegame> great guys, thanks this should work!! but one question can chron run shutdown -h even know its a sudo privileges command?
[13:53] <otak> !gparted
[13:54] <roberto_> ciao
[13:54] <arriva13> will the Gparted not harm my windows C: partition???
[13:55] <anfegame> great guys, thanks this should work!! but one question can chron run shutdown -h even know its a sudo privileges command?
[13:55] <nicofs> Kingsy: what do you want? a booted-up ubuntu with two screens (one laptop, one TV)?
[13:55] <chaquetillas> ee
[13:55] <chaquetillas> e
[13:55] <chaquetillas> e
[13:56] <chaquetillas> chaquetas 9
[13:56] <otak> arriva13: i never tried but I believe you should use a windows tool to resize a windows partition
[13:56] <sipior> anfegame: yes, you can edit root's crontab via: "sudo crontab -e"
[13:57] <otak> arriva13: ask more about wubi cos maybe your ubuntu 'partition' is just a file inside your windows partition?
[13:57] <anfegame> thank you sipior i will work on that, thank you for u help!!
[13:57] <Serg1> Somebody experienced in X forwarding with sound in 10.10?
[13:57] <sipior> anfegame: have fun
[13:57] <Kingsy> nicofs - no, the tv is the monitor.. I just didnt have a spare monitor for it..
[13:57] <arriva13> that is right, it is just a folder inside my windows partition
[13:57] <arriva13> that is booted from
[13:58] <Kingsy> nicofs: so, its just a normal dekstop pc.. BUT when you boot it up with the monitor on the display goes off.. if you leave the monitor off during the boot process and then turn it on the display works.. I mean wtf?
[13:59] <Diverdude> If i change my tv-tuner card in my ubuntu server 10.10 with a different tv-tuner card will ubuntu automatically install it?
[13:59] <Diverdude> or is it not recommended to change hardware setup after ubuntu installation?
[13:59] <nicofs> Kingsy: in all honesty... that is beyond me...
[13:59] <Kingsy> lol
[13:59] <Kingsy> yup everyone has said that.. hehe
[13:59] <Syria> Hi, how can i know if this copy of ubuntu is alternative or the desktop one?
[13:59] <Dr_Willis> Syria:  boot it.. text onlty = alt, or server.... got a gui = desktop
[14:00] <sipior> Diverdude: assuming the new card is supported, there should be no real problem in principle.
[14:00] <Dr_Willis> Syria:  the cd Might have a file on it stating whats what.. but im not sure. Or check the Md5sums
[14:00] <Syria> Dr-willis, I mean i have it already installed, i just want to know if it was installed using the alternative or not.
[14:00] <Dr_Willis> Diverdude:  ive moved hd's with ubuntu installs from one laptop to antoher with very few issues.
[14:00] <Dr_Willis> Syria:  the 2 installs are identical.
[14:01] <TutoR> Hello All
[14:01] <TutoR> On WPA crack is there a brute force free online server?
[14:01] <Syria> Dr_willis Thank you
[14:02] <Dr_Willis> I would have to wonder at why someone would offer such a service.. :)
[14:02] <TutoR> I've already tried Darkicorp with no success
[14:02] <Dr_Willis> or how its 'ubuntu support related' :P
[14:03] <TutoR> apologies in that case - I might've joined the wrong channel
[14:03] <Dr_Willis> Serg1:  pulse audio can forward 'sound' from one pc to another. if thasts what you are wanting.
[14:04] <Braber01> hi, I've been trying to update Lucid, however when doing so After restarting Ubuntu takes for ever to start up again any ideas as to why this is?
[14:05] <jv__> my lxde installation from server screwed up my graphical network settings
[14:05] <jv__> now I have wicd and network manager gnome
[14:05] <Braber01> ... And I've had to reinstall ubuntu like twice to get my desktop working atgain.
[14:05] <jv__> before if i installed wicd network manager gnome would be removed  because of conflict
[14:05] <administrator_> .........
[14:05] <Dr_Willis> Braber01:  if you aer doing reinstalls.. why not just install 10.10 to begin with?
[14:06] <jv__> evrything works from terminal but the wireless network
[14:06] <Braber01> Dr_Willis, 1)because I'm lazy and alredy have 10.4 on a usb drive
[14:06] <Dr_Willis> jv__:  if you use the right commands. you could set up wireless that way also.
[14:06] <jv__> iwlist shows my router
[14:06] <Dr_Willis> Braber01:  i think it would be better  to do a clean install of 10.10
[14:07] <jv__> I knwo some, but not all
[14:07] <Syria> In the update manager the is no upgrade button? what should I do to make it appear, I think it was a terminal command
[14:07] <Dr_Willis> jv__:  i always check out the ubuntu forums or wiki pages, or arch linux wiki pages for the proper commnands. i never can rember them.
[14:07] <graphitemaster> Syria: update-manager -d
[14:07] <Braber01> Dr_Willis, would that be better than using update manager since that doesn't seem to be workin for me?
[14:07] <jv__> doing iwconfig wlan0 essid NETGEAR does not stay in the config so dhclient never works for the woreless
[14:08] <jv__> I mean, correctly spelled ;)
[14:08] <Dr_Willis> Syria:   theres also a setting  in the update manager to go from LTS to LTS only upgrades (the default) or LTS -> any release newer..
[14:08] <Dr_Willis> Braber01:  since it would proberly actually work.. id say yes.
[14:08] <jv__> now I am removing both, gnome network manager and wicd
[14:08] <Dr_Willis> Braber01:  and since upgradeing would download the whole cd anyway and more....
[14:08] <Braber01> Dr_Willis Thank you :)
[14:08] <Dr_Willis> Braber01:  plus you would then have a 10.10 cd/iso/flash drive........
[14:09] <Dr_Willis> Braber01:  why WOULD you want to upgrade :)
[14:10] <jv__> now I am removing both, gnome network manager and wicd
[14:10] <jv__> y
[14:10] <Leoneof> hello, how to download ALL libs?
[14:10] <Braber01> I just relized, I'm gonna need a new flash drive, I alredy have the netbook edtion 10.04 on my flash dirve now, but I don't have enough flash dirves ... LOL
[14:10] <jv__> crap, it took lxdm and a few more ;)
[14:11] <Dr_Willis> Braber01:  use dd, back it up.. restore it as needed..
[14:11] <Syria> Dr_Willis  This is what I want, to go from lts to another lts, how can i do this please?
[14:11] <Dr_Willis> Syria:  try that command  with the -d. i rareluy upgrade
[14:11] <Dr_Willis> !upgrade
[14:12] <Dr_Willis> Leoneof:  installing 'all' libs would be a little silly theres 1000's of them that people prorlbery never need.
[14:12] <Syria> Dr_Willis The button does not appears after sudo update-manager -d but nothing happened.
[14:12] <Syria> Dr_Willis I am doing this on 8.4 ubuntu
[14:13] <Dr_Willis> check the factoid url's yet? they may give some suggestions
[14:13] <Leoneof> Dr_Willis: ok, but i need all of lib-dev, also...how to know total size of all lib-dev?
[14:14] <Dr_Willis> Leoneof:  why would you need ALL of them?
[14:14] <rushfan_> Hello. I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 and I can't get flash to work (Firefox doesn't find it). I have it in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugs, /usr/lib/firefox/plugins, and /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins
[14:14] <rushfan_> But nonetheless it doesn't locate it in any of those directories.
[14:14] <Leoneof> Dr_Willis: just curious to have them.
[14:14] <rushfan_> Anyone know where exactly I can put libflashplayer.so?
[14:15] <Dr_Willis> !flash
[14:15] <Syria> Dr_Willis sorry I am using 8.10 and i want to upgrade to 10.4
[14:15] <Dr_Willis> rushfan_:  how did you install flash?
[14:15] <Dr_Willis> Syria:  i rarely if ever upgrade. i do clean installs.. all i nan suggest is check the !upgrade wiki/notes.
[14:15] <rushfan_> Dr_Willis: By downloading it from the adobe web-site, because the flash-plugin package in the repository didn't work
[14:15] <Syria> Dr_Willis thnx again :)
[14:16] <Dr_Willis> rushfan_:  odd that the repo dident work.   You basically get the tar.gz and extract it to the proper plugins dir in the users home dir. as far as i know
[14:16] <fnordperfect> Hi! Does anyone use wmii as a window manager by any chance?
[14:16] <rjs_> Hi just wondering how do i setup the startup programs through the command line instead of using the system->preferences-startup applications
[14:16] <rushfan_> Dr_Willis: thats what I did. Strange. Dr_Willis last thing I can think of... does Firefox 3.0 work with the latest version of flash player/
[14:16] <Dr_Willis> 8.04 is a little.. old :) so i guess its not that supriseing.
[14:16] <rushfan_> I better just upgrade to 3.6
[14:17] <Dr_Willis> rushfan_:  no idea. Im using whatever is in the 10.10 repos.
[14:17] <rushfan_> Dr_Willis: Yeah I can'tuse anything over 8.04 because of a nasty regression bug leading to a hardlock on boot
[14:17] <rushfan_> Its in the kernel itself and I'm not sure I can update to 10.10 but still use an old kernel
[14:17] <rushfan_> The 10.10 livecd cant boot on my computer
[14:17] <fnordperfect> When wmii starts, it does not execute its wmiirc configuration file. I've tried wmii-3.6 from the repos and also wmii-3.9 from a ppa, same problem
[14:18] <Dr_Willis> Odd that a 2 yr old kernel bug hasent been fixed...
[14:18] <graphitemaster> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2rGTXHvPCQ
[14:18] <graphitemaster> ^^ WATCH LAUGH REPEAT
[14:18] <rjs_> Hi just wondering how do i setup the startup programs through the command line instead of using the system->preferences-startup applications
[14:18] <rushfan_> Dr_Willis: Well I've been too lazy to pin down the exact cahnge to cause it :|
[14:18] <rushfan_> Dr_Willis: I know its the linxu kernel because it isnt just Ubuntu. No current liveCDs will boot over here
[14:18] <jussi> !ot | graphitemaster
[14:18] <rigved> rushfan_: if you get a blank screen on boot, try the alternate cd. it may be possible that it's not a kernel bug but a graphics problem
[14:19] <Dr_Willis> rushfan_:  whats your video card?
[14:20] <TheKro> my device notifier is behaving strangely: it's not picking up one of the linux partitions on my external HDD.  However, I can manually mount the partition.  any suggestions on how to debug/fix? (KDE)
[14:20] <rushfan_> Dr_Willis: Its an i810.
[14:20] <Dr_Willis> TheKro:  make a /etc/fstab entry for it perhaps.
[14:20] <rushfan_> Dr_Willis: Funny you ask. I've long been convinced it was the video card causing all teh trouble.
[14:20] <Dr_Willis> rushfan_:  do other disrto live cds work?
[14:20] <rigved> rushfan_: that's the driver. so you have a integrated graphics chipset
[14:21] <rigved> rushfan_: try the alternate cd
[14:21] <rushfan_> Dr_Willis: No.
[14:21] <fnordperfect> rjs_: you have a folder .config/autostart in your home directory. In there are .desktop files which get launched when you start your gnome session
[14:21] <rushfan_> rigved: Well iirc i810 is the version of intel's integrated chipset
[14:22] <Syria> Guys please tell me how can i konw information about my hard disc?
[14:22] <TheKro> Dr_Willis: thx for the suggestion - however, problem seems to have disappeared after removing and re-adding the device notifier widget

[14:54] <jmiddleton> hey guys i just installed Ubuntu along side Windows Vista.  How can I make Windows the default OS to boot in Grub>
[14:54] <jmiddleton> I am just trying to get them a bit familiar with Ubuntu but they want to have windows be the default
[14:55] <RudyValencia> jmiddleton: which version of grub are you using (the new one or legacy GRUB)?
[14:55] <jmiddleton> probably the new one
[14:55] <jmiddleton> it was installed by 10.10
[14:55] <RudyValencia> hm, lemme see what I can find out
[14:55] <RudyValencia> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/changing-default-os-in-grub2-765011/
[14:55] <jmiddleton> i'm sure there is a configuration file somewhere that I can alter to make it boot
[14:56] <jmiddleton> thanks
[14:56] <RudyValencia> np
[14:56] <Dr_Willis> !grub2 | jmiddleton
[14:57] <Dr_Willis> jmiddleton:  you change  a setting in /etc/default/grub i think.
[14:57] <Fr33_z3> hi all, I have a Sony Vaio VPCEB34EN laptop and I tried running Ubuntu 10.10 off the LiveCD. My touchpad doesn't work at all, does anybody know what I can do about it?
[14:57] <jmiddleton> odd I don't have that file
[14:57] <jmiddleton> thanks Dr_Willis
[14:57] <Dr_Willis> jmiddleton:  double check..   if you did a clean install of 10.10 - you should be using grub2
[14:57] <Fr33_z3> i haven't installed Ubuntu yet, mind you
[14:57] <jmiddleton> i have no /boot/grub/menu.lst
[14:58] <Dr_Willis> jmiddleton:  thats not for grub2.....
[14:58] <jmiddleton> yet the /etc/default/grub says if i change that file run grub update to update the boot/grub/menu.lst file
[14:58] <Dr_Willis> jmiddleton:  grub2 = totally different from grub1
[14:58] <Dr_Willis>  it would update /boot/grub.cfg
[14:58] <divided> hi all, happy thanksgiving - having trouble getting my wireless usb adapter to work in 10.10 - can anyone help?

[15:01] <AbhiJit> hi
[15:01] <AbhiJit> what do i need to veie the '.tif' file?
[15:01] <Andy_1> alright, Hello,
[15:01] <Andy_1> I am currently using ubuntu(64 bit) on my 4820TG . After installation, I got the additional drivers, there were 2 options present 1. my wifi card driver which I successfully got and is working. 2. my ati graphics card (so I guess by default its running on the onboard intel card?). It said "ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics drivers", I downloaded it and activated it.
[15:01] <Andy_1> After rebooting the desktop didn't show up and instead it directly booted into the terminal.I managed to boot back to desktop using some commands.
[15:01] <FloodBot3> Andy_1: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:01] <Fr33_z3> hi all, I have a Sony Vaio VPCEB34EN laptop and I tried running Ubuntu 10.10 off the LiveCD. My touchpad doesn't work at
[15:01] <Fr33_z3> all, does anybody know what I can do about it?
[15:02] <divided> can anyone help me with my wireless usb adapter?
[15:02] <Daekdroom> Andy_1, that doesn't necessarily mean it's running on the onboard intel VGA, but if it is, you shouldn't activate the ATI driver.
[15:02] <swiss-chris> hi - I'm using sftp with nautilus for the first time and it asks me if I want to remember the password until I log out. How do I log out?
[15:03] <Andy_1> someone suggested that the drivers are not switchable supported so i need to download "the open source drivers (intel/i915 and radeon)", how do I do that? can I get some specific commands for it?
[15:03] <geirha> swiss-chris: You click in the upper right corner of the panel and choose Log out

[15:05] <divided> can anyone help me with my wireless usb adapter?
[15:06] <vic20gmr> geekbri, has anything at all changes? did you shutdown properly last time you were in ubuntu?
[15:06] <swiss-chris> geirha: thank for your response. excuse my ignorance, but what do you mean by panel? I currently have a nautilus window open in gnome and within that window I see the contents of my remote sftp folder
[15:06] <geekbri> vic20gmr: yup, shutdown -h now.  nothing has changed as far as i know.
[15:06] <swiss-chris> geirha: you mean the gnome panel? ok.
[15:07] <geirha> swiss-chris: Yes, the text about remembering password until you log out refers to when you log out of the gnome-session.
[15:07] <swiss-chris> geirha: gotcha. I thought nautilus it was referring to logging out of the sftp session. thanks!

[15:10] <AbhiJit> what to do in order to read it?
[15:11] <divided> is there a linux distro that has native wireless usb support?
[15:11] <vic20gmr> ya ubuntu
[15:11] <sipior> AbhiJit: you might try installing the libtiff-tools package, but that was from a couple years back, as i recall.
[15:12] <ubuntu> hi guys, new to channel and IRC in general, have a problem with a recent update of 10.04LTS server with the ubuntu-studio desktop...get the usual exit status 4 on a couple of drives, then a blinking cursor like it's hanging
[15:12] <AbhiJit> sipior, libtiff4 is already installed
[15:12] <Cerebrux> >divided< it is a kernel version thing not a distro thing for native wireless usb support
[15:12] <divided> vic20gmr: i don't call screwing around with ndiswrapper and having to install custom kernels "native"
[15:12] <sipior> AbhiJit: i didn't say, "install libtiff4".
[15:12] <AbhiJit>  :(
[15:13] <vic20gmr> divided, do what?
[15:13] <sipior> AbhiJit: do you have libtiff-tools?
[15:13] <AbhiJit> sipior, no
[15:13] <ubuntu> anyone got any suggestions?
[15:13] <vic20gmr> you asked if thee was a linux distro with native wifi usb drivers
[15:13] <ubuntu> h
[15:13] <divided> Cerebrux: I've tried many things to get my wireless usb adapter to work - do you have any experience with this?
[15:14] <ubuntu> hmmm, how do I change my nick?

[15:14] <atariboy84> use "/nick yournewnick"
[15:14] <vic20gmr> i use wifi exclusivley, and all i had to do was plug the wifi adapter into my usb port, im ussing natve drivers, and it does depend on your wifi chipset
[15:14] <ubuntu> thanks, atariboy
[15:14] <ubuntu> nick Serebro
[15:14] <atariboy84> yw
[15:14] <Serebro> sorry, missed the slash the first time
[15:14] <vic20gmr> ubuntu, i dont think you can change it as long as youre using live system
[15:15] <vic20gmr> but i may be wrong
[15:15] <divided> vic20gmr: it recognizes the usb adapter fine, but i can't connect to the internet - ralink rt2570 chipset
[15:15] <vic20gmr> hmmm
[15:15] <divided> ubuntu: it's /nick, not nick
[15:15] <vic20gmr> im using rt2500
[15:15] <divided> vic20gmr: did you have to use ndiswrapper?
[15:15] <vic20gmr> no
[15:16] <ilyas> exit
[15:16] <Serebro> so, any ideas why that'd be hanging, almost like X isn't starting?
[15:16] <vic20gmr> i actually was pointed to some online resources covering wifi stuff this morning

[15:40] <geekbri> nevermind i solved my nginx problem! for some reason the default ubuntu install of nginx creates /var/www/nginx-default but in the location configuration points at /var/www for the directory, silly!
[15:40] <B-r00t> oatcake: clean install, yes...
[15:41] <rigved> !upgrade | oatcake
[15:41] <rigved> oatcake: you can upgrade if you want to keep your current data intact

[15:42] <rigved> B-r00t: 9.10 -> 10.04 -> 10.10
[15:42] <sipior> oatcake: if you have a separate /home partition, you can safely install a new version, assuming you ensure that it is not formatted by the installer. backups are handy, erring on the side of caution.
[15:42] <B-r00t> lol
[15:44] <sipior> oatcake: if you have data outside of /home, you'll need to see to that separately.
[15:44] <rigved> B-r00t: ya it's a very long route. better to backup and then do a clean install
[15:44] <B-r00t> clean install is better

[16:09] <DorianST> For Visual Effects what is the big difference between None and Normal options? It says improved usability and good balance between attractiveness and moderate performance requirements. Can someone elaborate? I can't see any differences.
[16:10] <vic20gmr> also, is there a [relatively] easy way i might save the current settings of these paramaters, so i can just mess around with them, but if it doesnt work/i make things worse, i can just restore them?

[16:16] <macondo> There is no way to revert it, except rebooting. Is there a way to fix this?
[16:18] <Sickler> anyone please?

[16:21] <banker247> anyone here using ubuntu with ati?
[16:21] <macondo> sipior: yes, it works under windows, and it was working yesterday when I was running 10.04. It's a microsoft optical USB wheel mouse.
[16:22] <vic20gmr> how can i determine what my current rts_threshold is?
[16:22] <sipior> macondo: anything interesting show up in the logs around the time the mouse dies?
[16:22] <macondo> sipior: right click and pointer work ok. It's just the left click that's not working. There's a strong correlation with pressing a multimedia keyboard key
[16:22] <beefcakes> Tang0: when I change it to the 173 geforce driver my system crashes. if i use this driver (current), video is messed up. gosh why does this have to be so complicated

[16:26] <gerzel> Q: I installed Nautilus elementary and it seems to have a bug when I try to use it with dual monitors using each monitor as a seperate desktop w/o using xinerama.  When I start up it just spawns  nautilus starts in my window list w/o any windows appearing, filling my window list for a good five minutes before these spawns start and die and finally all die off.  Afterward I am unable to start nautilus from my places menu.
[16:26] <smw> CooKieMonster, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[16:26] <sipior> macondo: you can try "ctrl-alt-F1" and then kill gdm from the terminal
[16:26] <BitEncrypt> smw, well then i installed ubuntu wrong then. i have XP and 10.04 LTS
[16:27] <macondo> sipior: doesn't work either

[16:27] <gerzel> the commands I used  before this happened were: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:am-monkeyd/nautilus-elementary-ppa   and  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist upgrade
[16:27] <BitEncrypt> smw, the boot screen doesnt show up
[16:27] <smw> BitEncrypt, press esc before linux boots up and it will show up. Make sure it sees windows

[16:28] <Benkinooby> hi, please can some1 tell me what the "." means in the line ". /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions"
[16:29] <banker247> vic20gmr, type in glxinfo | grep "direct rendering" into terminal what do you get?
[16:29] <macondo> sipior: apparently this package fixes it, but I can't download it. Can you help me a little? http://launchpadlibrarian.net/54205518/xserver-xorg-input-evdev_2.5.0%2Bgit20100822.990540fa-0ubuntu0sarvatt_i386.deb
[16:29] <rigved> Benkinooby: it refers to the current directory. here it means the root directory under which there is /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
[16:29] <smw> Benkinooby, rigved is wrong. It loads that script into the current one
[16:30] <donica> hi , I should install a webcam drivers logitech 900 pro.Can anyone help me. Thanks
[16:30] <smw> Benkinooby, it is like an import statement
[16:30] <rigved> Benkinooby: oh ya. srry
[16:30] <smw> rigved, np ;-)
[16:30] <rigved> Benkinooby: it is used to run scripts
[16:31] <Benkinooby> swm rigved like  run functions in current_dir/etc/rc.d/init.d/ ?
[16:31] <vic20gmr> banker247, i currently dont have it installed, and im waiting on anoother get-apt, and its not super fast, but terribly slow right now, as soon as i can i will download and report back
[16:31] <smw> Benkinooby, no. like, import functions from /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
[16:31] <vic20gmr> banker247, if your wanting to know wehter or not i have direct rendering, i can answer that im 99% sure i do
[16:32] <vic20gmr> banker247, i meant to say *not* terribly slow :)
[16:32] <sipior> macondo: link claims to be broken
[16:32] <smw> Benkinooby, do you understand it?
[16:32] <Benkinooby> smw so that the cript that contains this line can access the functions fo the file /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
[16:32] <smw> Benkinooby, exactly
[16:32] <Benkinooby> cript = script
[16:33] <Sickler> can someone help me with gaining access to the internet, i have wpa2 but these are my only options...    http://imagebin.org/124834
[16:33] <The> hi
[16:33] <smw> Benkinooby, it will also run anything not in a function though.
[16:33] <vic20gmr> banker247, im also using the x.org drivers, btw fglrx doesnt support my card, and many that are newer than it also
[16:33] <Benkinooby> smw thank you for your help. where could i have found this informantion? in what man file? or online doc?
[16:33] <BitEncrypt> smw, part of the bios showed up. but i did not boot into bios
[16:34] <Guest7909> Hi everyboy
[16:34] <sipior> macondo: maybe try a dist-upgrade? might be the fix has already been pushed to the repositories.
[16:34] <Benkinooby> swm so it's like that script is calling an other script, that is /etc/..../functions
[16:34] <clocKwize> hey guys, is there any way to set an environmental variable that will be used in a cron job?
[16:34] <smw> Benkinooby, yes. But it is also loading the functions. Not just calling it.
[16:34] <cfreak200> heya, i've mysql-cluster-server installed on my 10.04 LTS Server now i need the libmysqclient-dev package but that requires libmysqlclient16 which collides with the already installed libmysqlclientXX.so from the cluster version. any idea?
[16:34] <clocKwize> without specifying it in the job
[16:35] <smw> Benkinooby, "calling it" would mean starting another interpreter. It is more like an import statement
[16:35] <Maahes> is there any command in apt that works like this: sudo apt-get <command> package (gets:) package-dev?
[16:35] <smw> BitEncrypt, not sure what you mean by that
[16:36] <sipior> clocKwize: yes, have a look at "man 5 crontab"
[16:36] <banker247> vic20gmr, what card are you using
[16:36] <smw> BitEncrypt, in between the bios and linux booting, you should be able to press esc to get the grub menu
[16:36] <Benkinooby> swm is that like include in c++? i think import comes from java and i don't know java
[16:36] <vic20gmr> radeon 9600/256mb
[16:36] <smw> Benkinooby, smw, not swm
[16:36] <vic20gmr> banker247,  radeon 9600/256mb
[16:37] <Maahes> clocKwize: I set my notices via anachron. I was woken up at 2:00am for my 4:00pm appointment. *o_O*
[16:37] <killguta> Guys, how can I force the resolution of X without a graphics card?
[16:37] <Benkinooby> swm is that like include in c++? i think import comes from java and i don't know java ... sry
[16:37] <Benkinooby> arhg!
[16:37] <smw> Benkinooby, it is an include, except it also runs whatever is in there.
[16:37] <Benkinooby> smw is that like include in c++? i think import comes from java and i don't know java ... sry²
[16:37] <macondo> sipior: let me see. Un/plugging the keyboard and mouse does the trick.
[16:37] <Maahes> killguta: um, how can you be running X without a graphics card?
[16:37] <Benkinooby> smw ok, thank you. got it
[16:38] <smw> Benkinooby, it is like copying what is in there into the current program
[16:38] <sipior> macondo: nice to have a fix, but that'll get annoying quickly, i imagine :-)
[16:38] <Benkinooby> smw thank you for your patience, time and efforts
[16:38] <killguta> I know that I'm not using any video driver, Maahes
[16:38] <smw> Benkinooby, np :-)
[16:38] <Benkinooby> smw plus running it
[16:38] <macondo> sipior: yes, sure. I just didn't want to reboot every time.
[16:38] <smw> Benkinooby, just like a copy :-)
[16:38] <killguta> My graphics card died :(
[16:38] <Genocyber_> rip
[16:38] <smw> Benkinooby, imagine everything in the other file was put right where that statement is.
[16:38] <Maahes> killguta: I'm pretty sure you have to be using vesa or mesa, are you sure you don't have an on-board graphics card?
[16:38] <killguta> She was a cheap one, but it got me through those lonely nights...
[16:38] <smw> Benkinooby, most of those statements are function declarations
[16:38] <Benkinooby> smw yes, but after copy will it be run too?
[16:39] <clocKwize> Maahes: undesired..
[16:39] <Maahes> literally without a graphics card, you wouldn't be able to use a monitor.
[16:39] <smw> Benkinooby, yes
[16:39] <vic20gmr> i just changed my rts value to 250, will this stick? or will i have to reset it each time i boot/login?
[16:39] <Benkinooby> smw ok, like headers that get included and the run after they are copied in
[16:39] <smw> Benkinooby, yeah
[16:39] <Benkinooby> smw :)
[16:39] <Benkinooby> smw thx!
[16:39] <smw> Benkinooby, it is something you only see in interpreted languages
[16:40] <jmiddleton> hey guys i just installed ubuntu along side windows xp, however I am trying to get Grub2 to have Vista be the default OS so that they can get used to Ubuntu before making a full switch
[16:40] <jmiddleton> I tried editing /etc/default/grub and setting the default item to item 3 but it still highlights Ubuntu as the default.  Any thoughts?
[16:40] <Maahes> (this isn't absolutely true, if you had a serial port and an old terminal interface you could run a monitor without a graphics card, but you couldn't run X)
[16:44] <killguta> Is it... over?
[16:45] <killguta> Can anybody hear me?
[16:45] <Maahes> killguta: Is there anybody in there
[16:45] <ikonia> yes
[16:45] <Maahes> is there anyone home...
[16:45] <ikonia> ok, we get it

[16:46] <LinuxGuy2009> I'm experiencing an issue with 10.04 not being able to find any APTonCD repo discs when it comes to actually installing a package from it. Even though I used apt-cdrom to successfully add it as a repo source. I am not sure if this is because the system installation did not create an cdrom mount point entry in fstab. Could this be the reason?
[16:46] <ikonia> LinuxGuy2009: no, the cd's are mounted dynamically
[16:47] <aprendiz> como me paso a españolk?
[16:47] <ikonia> !es | aprendiz
[16:47] <LinuxGuy2009> ikonia: ok so that verifies that.Can you think of any other reason this might not work or if its a known issue? Its a feature I REALLY need for an offline machine.
[16:47] <ikonia> LinuxGuy2009: the cd's are not being made correctly ?
[16:48] <ikonia> LinuxGuy2009: faulty cd drive ?
[16:49] <LinuxGuy2009> ikonia: brand new sata dvdrw drive. I was thinking it may be aptoncd bug but wasnt sure. Is there any other way for me to create a repo cd with some other tool(s) or commands?
[16:49] <BluesKaj> looking for ppl with expewrience using mplayer as a tv viewer for the ati tv-wonder-pro cx88 type tv tuner cards. I'm having trouble configuring/enabling the audio . The video works fine using the composite1 input . I've asked in #mplayer , but so far havent received any response.
[16:49] <ikonia> LinuxGuy2009: just because it's brand new doesn't mean it works, test the CD with another machine (if possible) mount the CD manually and check the contents
[16:50] <ikonia> BluesKaj: is it the mplayer packaged with ubuntu 10.10 ?
[16:50] <BluesKaj> ikonia, yes
[16:50] <ikonia> BluesKaj: someone else was having a very similar problem a few days ago with pretty much the same setup, I know the all in wonder cards can be problematic in general
[16:51] <BluesKaj> ikonia, yeah , that was probly me ..been trying to find a solution for 4 days
[16:51] <ikonia> BluesKaj: someone else, I know your nickname
[16:51] <BluesKaj> ok

[16:57] <evilbug> my friend just made an ubuntu 10.10 install dvd and trying to boot it off of a win7 comp. the problem is the disc is recognized at boot and jumps straight into windows. could this be a bios issue?
[16:57] <ubuntuisloved> xukun, search google for ssh keys
[16:58] <ubuntuisloved> xukun, you basically need to create the ssh keygen key in /root/.ssh directory then copy your id_dsa.pub to the remote host in it's .ssh directory

[16:59] <Eni> in backtrack4 R1
[16:59] <Eni> ?
[16:59] <BluesKaj> evilbug, did your friend check the md5 sum on the dvd ..the problem may be witht the cdrom not reading the dvd and defaulting to the next boot device .
[16:59] <JohnoP> yo anyone know how to structure a find command to simply out put the file names of the files in a folder. Rather then the whole file path?
[16:59] <ikonia> Eni: try the #backtrack-linux channel
[16:59] <eZet> evilbug: Most likely a bios 'feature', not an issue. If it's a newer mainboard there'll be a button you can press for 'boot options', where you can select your boot device.

[17:00] <evilbug> eZet: yeah. the issue is i'm doing this remotely and he doesn't know what i'm talking about :( i'll try. seems like a bios issue.
[17:00] <evilbug> BluesKaj: the dvd is fine.
[17:00] <ikonia> siropio: errrr kindle the amazon device ?
[17:00] <BluesKaj> evilbug, have you tried it on another pc ?
[17:00] <eZet> evilbug: Most likely F8, F10 or F12. If there's no such option, you'll have to enter the bios and prioritize booting from dvd over hdd.
[17:01] <Kingsy> anyone around familiar with samba with ubuntu?
[17:01] <siropio> ikonia, yes i know i am offtopic :P
[17:01] <vic20gmr> banker247, i have to go pick some food up today, forgot about that, my ride is supposed to be leaving around 30mins from now, andim still waiting on my apt to finish, as soon as i can ill get the info for you, and report back
[17:01] <evilbug> BluesKaj: trying it right now but seems to be a bios issue since his other ubuntu computer recognizes it as a package disc.
[17:01] <ikonia> siropio: ok,
[17:02] <vic20gmr> banker247, also my wifi isnt exactly a bastion of reliability, so if it lookslike ive left, its just the wifi failing/dropping my connection, in which case ill return and let you know what i come up with
[17:02] <Phineas> fixed it
[17:02] <evilbug> eZet: yeah, this is more pebkac on his end :) i'm trying to have him understand what i'm saying.
[17:02] <BluesKaj> evilbug, yes but will it boot on the other pc ?
[17:02] <donica> Thanks to all  Very  Very kind
[17:02] <Sensiva> Hello all, How can I transcode arabic subtitles into avi files ?
[17:02] <evilbug> BluesKaj: trying it right now, gonna confirm in a minute.
[17:02] <BluesKaj> evilbug, ok
[17:02] <evilbug> BluesKaj: i'm doing this over skype so it takes a bit :)
[17:02] <unperson> Hi.  I have a repository with subdirectories.  I want to have the same exact file appear in two subdirectories.  Ordinarily I'd just make a hard link.  Should I do that an tell the repo to track the new hard link as well, or is there a different way to do this correctly?
[17:03] <unperson> shoot.  sorry, wrong channel
[17:04] <ubuntu> hi, when i want to start my existing ubuntu the computer says "boot error" on a black screen. anyone knows this?
[17:08] <evilbug> BluesKaj, eZet: the disc works. i have to go into the bios of the other computer.
[17:09] <BluesKaj> evilbug, ok , I guess the boot sequence needs to be changed
[17:10] <eZet> Try having him spam ESC and look for a reference to 'boot options' or similar during boot.
[17:10] <eZet> BluesKaj: Most likely some F-combination, saves you the hassle of explaining the bios to him :)
[17:10] <AmberJ> Hello
[17:10] <CooKieMonster> why my browser keep asking me to install flash player when i already installed it
[17:11] <AmberJ> Is there a way to disable notification messages in ubuntu 10.10? Like we get "eth0 disconnected" or pidgin tray notifications?
[17:11] <eZet> AmberJ: Remove the applet from the panel alltogether.
[17:11] <JohnoP> yo anyone know how to structure a find command to simply out put the file names of the files in a folder. Rather then the whole file path?
[17:12] <Rommy> Hi.

[17:14] <luser> hello
[17:14] <Rommy> Hello
[17:14] <Kingsy> can anyone in here offer any samba support with ubuntu?
[17:14] <luser> is there a way in ubuntu 8.04 to change session type per user?
[17:14] <luser> like gnome for one user and another for other user?
[17:14] <evilbug> BluesKaj: apparently f8, f10, or f12 doesn't work.
[17:14] <luser> i would like only one program to be invoked when certain user logs in
[17:15] <bluemountaiin> hello how can i install usb modem on ubuntu??
[17:15] <luser> no GNOME no wm nothing
[17:15] <Rommy> Hi?
[17:15] <luser> so any ideas?
[17:15] <BluesKaj> evilbug, have you tried entering the BIOS before ? ...I have to ask
[17:16] <luser> ?
[17:17] <Jab1> Hello.
[17:17] <Bruce_Wayne> What is the keyboard shortcut for pasting selection in ubuntu? NOTE: I'm not asking for ctrl+v or Shift+Ins
[17:17] <evilbug> BluesKaj: like i said, i'm doing this remotely and all i can do is give instructions. my buddy tells me that those 3 keys don't work when they're pressed at boot. and he also tells me there's no splash at first boot so he can't see what "f" key is rquired to enter the bios.
[17:17] <Bruce_Wayne> In another words, what is the keyboard shortcut for pasting the x11 clipbord content.
[17:18] <Bruce_Wayne> Anyone?
[17:18] <karlo94> what pastebin's exist?
[17:18] <CooKieMonster_> just how hard it is to install flash player in ubuntu ?
[17:18] <Bruce_Wayne> karlo94: What do you mean?
[17:18] <BluesKaj> evilbug, usually the BIOS requires f1 or f2 in my experience some also will open with f10
[17:19] <vic20gmr> banker247, may i ask what your trying to accomplish? im still waiting on my get apt to finish, but mabe i can still help some other way? and/or someone else can help if they know more
[17:19] <karlo94> websites for pasting larger codes, or text.. etc
[17:19] <Weapon_X> anyone know how to use terminal server client
[17:19] <luser> well
[17:20] <Weapon_X> Does any one know how to connect ubuntu to a windows machince,  Im in a differnet state my dad downloaded vnc for windows and I cant connect to his pc
[17:20] <ubuntu_> hi all, I tried upgrading from Ubuntu 10.04 => 10.10, and now when I'm booting, it keeps stalling at the Ubuntu Splash screen.....if I Escape out of the splash screen, it seems like it is stalling at a some power-battery check or something
[17:20] <ubuntu_> any suggestions?
[17:20] <evilbug> BluesKaj: f2 worked this time around.
[17:20] <Weapon_X> yea upgrading always gives issues
[17:20] <tecnico> Weapon_X: rdesktop
[17:20] <Bruce_Wayne> Weapon_X: Try samba
[17:21] <jenny> anyone here?
[17:21] <Weapon_X> Bruce_Wayne, but I am in a differnt state
[17:21] <ubuntu_> my thoughts were to Install 10.10 from CD, some I'm in an old (8.x) Ubuntu LiveCD now...but how do I ejecty it to burn an ISO file?
[17:21] <ded`> How do I disable Ctl-alt-backspace? I.e. PREVENT it from killing X server?
[17:21] <Weapon_X> do I have to do anyhting else to get it to connecgt
[17:21] <Weapon_X> or just download
[17:21] <ikonia> jenny: there are 1400+ people idleing
[17:21] <luser> this is useless
[17:22] <tecnico> Weapon_X: he needs to enable terminal services and you need to allow port 3389 through his home router.
[17:22]  * BluesKaj wonders if those IM clients list nicks
[17:22] <Weapon_X> tecnico, what would htat program do
[17:22] <Weapon_X> ahhh
[17:22] <evilbug> BluesKaj: i'm in the bios now and things seem to look in order.
[17:22] <ubuntu_> anyone?
[17:23] <Filimon> How enable file sharing on Xubuntu?
[17:23] <tecnico> Weapon_X: or he could SSH to your machine (ssh -L3389:127.0.0.1:3389 your.linux.machine -pPORT) and you'd rdesktop to 127.0.0.1:3389
[17:23] <ikonia> ubuntu_: anyone what ?
[17:23] <BluesKaj> evilbug, make sure the cdrom is the first device in the boot order
[17:23] <Weapon_X> it says on local network
[17:23] <Weapon_X> he is not on my network
[17:24] <tecnico> Weapon_X: so?
[17:24] <ubuntu_> ikonia: (a) I upgraded 10.04 => 10.10, it now stalls at Ubuntu boot screen...if I escape out, I see it is stalling after checking battery power level or something like that
[17:24] <Weapon_X> ok found something
[17:24] <ubuntu_> ikonia: (b) So how do I fix that? ; (c) Or alternatively, I'm d/l-ing 10.10 LiveCD now to install fresh, but I'll have no way to boot the damn thing if I can't eject my current LiveCD and burn 10.10 LiveCD
[17:25] <Rommy> hi
[17:25] <Weapon_X> so the only way is if I get him to change the firewall settings
[17:25] <Weapon_X> I would have figured that program would have disabled that port if possible
[17:25] <Rommy> hi
[17:26] <ikonia> ubuntu_: no idea without working it through
[17:26] <tecnico> Weapon_X: rdesktop is a terminal services client. It shows the desktop as if you were there. It'd lock the screen for your Dad while you are conneted. If you want to share the screen so he sees what you do, then you can use VNC
[17:26] <Weapon_X> tecnico, ok cool
[17:26] <v_v> !rdesktop
[17:26] <Su> I'm currently running Koala on my laptop. Is there a way through the update manager to SKIP the LTS release and go straight to 10.10? LTS makes my system unbootable.
[17:26] <Weapon_X> so now I just have to gudie him to open that port
[17:26] <Weapon_X> right?
[17:26] <Weapon_X> if I use rdesktop, does he need a program to install
[17:26] <tecnico> Weapon_X: the SSH example I gave you was so that he would connect to your machine with a  local forward tunnel.. so you are tunneling all RDP protocol through the SSH connetion and don't have to open any incoming port on his router
[17:27] <ubuntu_> ikonia: in that case, any idea how to eject this damn LiveCD?
[17:27] <Weapon_X> ok cool so I would just use ssh and then his IP?
[17:27] <ikonia> ubuntu_: you can't eject it while it's running
[17:27] <tecnico> Weapon_X: he needs to go to MyPC somewhere and allow People to connect to his desktop....  let me check where that it
[17:27] <ubuntu_> god damnit
[17:27] <tecnico> Weapon_X: not you. He is the one that would SSH into your machine
[17:27] <ubuntu_> I know there was a way to load the entire LiveCD into RAM, then u could eject
[17:28] <tecnico> Weapon_X: and you'd use the local forward tunnel to then connect back
[17:28] <ikonia> ubuntu_: there isn't
[17:28] <ubuntu_> god damnit
[17:28] <Gnea> !language | ubuntu_
[17:29] <tecnico> Weapon_X: he needs to go to MyComputer->Remote->Allow users to remotely connet
[17:29] <ded`> Anyone know how to prevent Ctl-Alt-Backspace from killing the X server?
[17:30] <ubuntu_> I remember there was some way to boot LiveCD so you could eject it
[17:30] <Gnea> ubuntu_: the thing is, it *can* be done, it just hasn't been done
[17:30] <Weapon_X> ok give me a sec
[17:30] <ubuntu_> Gnea: you're wrong....I remember doing this years ago
[17:30] <Gnea> ubuntu_: am I? URL or it didn't happen.
[17:30] <ubuntu_> Gnea: there is some boot option on the CD that loads the entire hing into RAM,
[17:31] <ubuntu_> Gnea: that's why I'm freakin' asking here! IF  I could find the URL, I wouldn't be here!
[17:31] <smw> ded`, it doesn't kill xserver...
[17:31] <Gnea> ubuntu_: well if you don't have proof to back your claim up, do NOT tell me I'm wrong!
[17:31] <otak> ubuntu_: I believe you can do that with slax or puppy if you want to burn a cd but it depends on your ram
[17:31] <smw> ded`, I though they disabled ctrl+alt+backspace
[17:31] <ubuntu_> Gnea: proof is hat I did it years ago
[17:31] <smw> ded`, I am going to try it
[17:31] <ded`> smw, try it
[17:31] <ubuntu_> 8GB of RAM
[17:31] <Guest80214> used pidgin for icq and msn. stopped working for me. A want an easy graphical messenger with icq... any recomendation? Kapote?
[17:31] <smw> ded`, not working
[17:32] <Gnea> ubuntu_: doubtful that you did it with an Ubuntu livecd, which is the point of contention here.
[17:32] <Su> ubuntu_: Then you were right years ago. Gnea is asking you to prove it NOW.
[17:32] <bindi> ubuntu_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootToRAM this?
[17:32] <ded`> smw, don't believe you :)
[17:32] <Gnea> ubuntu_: are you sure you're not thinking of knoppix or something similar?
[17:32] <tecnico> Weapon_X: he could use Putty to SSH into you and open the tunnel.  Putty->Hostname(your IP),  Port->(your SSH port. 22 by default), SSH->Tunnels->Add new fw port->Source Port (3389), Destination->127.0.0.1:3389, Local, Auto. Click Add, then connect.  He'll need a username and pwd to login to your machine. It can be any user.   Then you'd rdesktop 127.0.0.1:3389
[17:32] <Datz> Guest80214: you might stop in #pidgin and try to see if you can get pidgin working for you again.
[17:33] <ubuntu_> Gnea: hmm, arg, u may be right...I can't be sure it was Ubuntu LiveCD
[17:33] <Guest80214> Datz: sure but fun trying something new as well.. Any tips?
[17:33] <ubuntu_> arg, this upgrade has sucked
[17:34] <ubuntu_> in that event, know how to make a bootable USB from Kubuntu?
[17:34] <ded`> smw, in any case, it obviously does for me, otherwise I wouldn't be asking.
[17:34] <Gnea> !usb | ubuntu_
[17:34] <ded`> smw, so I'm not sure how you thought your reply would help?
[17:34] <ActionParsnip> Guest80214: could try the pidgin ppa
[17:34] <dar__> hi everybody, i am looking for a cryptsetup guru :) in fact i m trying to use a passphrase alread set with luksFormat with luksAddKey to set a new one but no way to do this operation as characters in key-file are not recognized as a passphrase :(
[17:35] <ericenns> I set a users password to expire at next login in AD and I get the user to try and ssh into a ubuntu machine and it just says permission denied I want them to be able to log in and change there password immediately
[17:35] <MagicJ> how do I change the screens that show while Ubuntu is booting?
[17:35] <evilbug> BluesKaj: so i've made "cdrom" be the first option but the disc still won't boot.
[17:35] <ActionParsnip> MagicJ: there are plymouth themes in the repo, theres a deb for the ubuntu sunrise theme on gnome-loog.org
[17:36] <ActionParsnip> evilbug: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[17:36] <evilbug> ActionParsnip: i did not but the disc boots fine on another computer.
[17:36] <MagicJ> ty ActionParsnip but what I really meant, and should have been more clear, "how do I set my own?"
[17:37] <Rommy> hi
[17:37] <ActionParsnip> MagicJ: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/09/ubuntu-sunrise-plymouth-theme-adds-awe-to-boot-time/
[17:37] <Rommy> hi
[17:37] <Guest80214> ActionParsnip: sure could... But like to try something else then pidgin... I guess its not that big diffrence?   Added Kopete now... Any other good suggestions?
[17:37] <ActionParsnip> evilbug: try F12 at boot, should give you a 1 time boot selecter, choose CD
[17:38] <MagicJ> ty ActionParsnip - now looking at that
[17:38] <ActionParsnip> !irc | Guest80214
[17:38] <evilbug> ActionParsnip: f12 doesn't work either.
[17:38] <Gnea> ubuntu_: perhaps it was Puppy Linux?
[17:38] <ubuntu_> ok, whew, K3B recognized my USB CD-writing drive even though it doesn't show up in the KDE file-browser
[17:38] <ubuntu_> Gnea: I think it might've been Gentoo
[17:38] <mama_> necesito ayuda instale el apache con todas sus dependencias y tambien mysql, configure todo tal como lo explican en este post http://taringa.net/posts/linux/8079927/Como-armar-un-servidor-de-streaming-de-audio-en-una-EEEpc.html ypero cuando me pide user y pass no me acepta la contraseña, dice que esta incorrecta, alguin me puede ayudar porfavor
[17:39] <ActionParsnip> evilbug: try setting CDROM as ALL bootable devices (if possible)
[17:39] <ubuntu_> Gnea: sorry about snapping, I've just been spazzing out a little bit because it seemed like I was in a hole of no return
[17:39] <Gnea> ubuntu_: lol? gentoo is a decent-sized distro and tends to involve a lot of compiling
[17:39] <Rommy> hi
[17:39] <Gnea> ubuntu_: it's cool, glad you were able to find a way out of it
[17:39] <ubuntu_> Gnea: well, Gentoo and Ubuntu are the only distros I've used
[17:39] <ActionParsnip> Gnea: well, a whole lot of watching the compile ;)
[17:39] <nightcracker> I have an issue with pidgin when trying to connect to MSN: Unable to validate certificate omega.contacts.msn.com

[17:40] <melvster> anyone know if i can find out if a filesystem is ext2 or ext3 using the command line?
[17:40] <ActionParsnip> Gnea: you can do the same as emerge with apt-build in ubuntu
[17:40] <Gnea> ubuntu_: pretty much
[17:40] <ActionParsnip> melvster: sudo parted -l
[17:40] <melvster> thanks!
[17:40] <MagicJ> ActionParsnip: I am missing something here - on the URL that you sent me I do not see how to set my own at all
[17:41] <Gnea> ActionParsnip: nifty, will have to keep that in mind, makes a lot more sense than having a compile farm
[17:41] <ubuntu_> Gnea: so all data will be intact, and I should be able to re-get prog settings from /home...I also have a ~/bin under my main user for custom software, that should also be good too, provided I reinstall necessary deps?
[17:41] <Guest80214> ActionParsnip: i dont follow the rules or what was that about?
[17:42] <Gnea> ubuntu_: do you mean to say that you're upgrading your current installation to 10.10 or you're going to use the livecd to do it?
[17:42] <ActionParsnip> MagicJ: there is a link to gnome-look where there is a deb to install the splash
[17:42] <MagicJ> Ty ActionParsnip I will check that - brb
[17:42] <ActionParsnip> Guest80214: there is a link in ubottu's factoid to a list of irc clients you can try....
[17:42] <ActionParsnip> Gnea: can help with wine if its running badly
[17:42] <W3ird_N3rd> is it possible to download older wine versions from the ubuntu-wine ppa?
[17:43] <Gnea> ActionParsnip: hm? apt-build?
[17:43] <Guest80214> ActionParsnip: icq and msn clients we where talking about... Xchat gnome does its job even though i got other pure irc clients
[17:43] <ActionParsnip> Gnea: http://polishlinux.org/linux/debian/apt-build-optimize-debian/
[17:43] <ubuntu_> Gnea: I had 10.04 and stupidly upgraded to 10.10...ran into some error trying to do it, workaround said o remove x11-something, w/c removed almost everything else...then had to upgrade from termiinal window (still in GUI, stayed in RAM). Seemed to reinstall everything. Then had to reboot. Reboot stalls after checking battery state (this is what is happening "behind the scenes" when the Ubuntu boot thingy is flashing)
[17:43] <ActionParsnip> Guest80214: oh i thought you said irc
[17:43] <ActionParsnip> !icq
[17:44] <ActionParsnip> hmm
[17:44] <nightcracker> I have an issue with pidgin when trying to connect to MSN: Unable to validate certificate omega.contacts.msn.com
[17:45] <ubuntu_> Gnea: so then I booted Ubuntu 9.04 liveCD, which for some reason gave ugly artifacts in KDE / X on my 30in LCD...so tried 8.10 LiveCD which is working ok one booted
[17:45] <Guest80214> ActionParsnip: ive installed Kopete and it seems to to work fine...
[17:45] <ivaninsect> test hello
[17:45] <ubuntu_> I'm gonna try rebooting and noting the error at the stall out point
[17:45] <Guest80214> nightcracker: me 2 but tryed kopete now instead. works just fine this far.
[17:45] <nightcracker> @guestblablablaa: I need GFire
[17:46] <nightcracker> thats better ;)
[17:46] <ActionParsnip> Guest80214: if it ain't broke ;)
[17:46] <egsome> How to make fonts in Java applications smaller ?

[17:46] <HRPufnstuf> I everyone is so happy w/ Ubuntu Linux - why so many problems?
[17:47] <ActionParsnip> HRPufnstuf: different hardware and different configurations cause issues
[17:47] <Su> HRPufnstuf: Because most people who are happy with their software are busy using it rather than talking about it.
[17:47] <ikonia> HRPufnstuf: ?
[17:47] <Guest80214> nightcracker: /j #pidgin
[17:47] <nightcracker> @HRPufnstuf: Because we live in a microsoft world
[17:47] <ubuntu_> I'll be back soon in 10.10 LiveCD and a detailed error report
[17:47] <ikonia> nightcracker: please don't talk nonsense
[17:48] <HRPufnstuf> I grew up on M$ and Linux - and I don't have any problems - it kinda works right out of the box
[17:48] <nightcracker> @ikonia: I'm not ;) A little fun/windows bashing can't hurt can it?
[17:48] <ikonia> nightcracker: please don't
[17:48] <andy12345> hi, there is no way I can connect to internet from ubuntu, so I want to install my wifi drivers, I downloaded the wifi drivers for linux, what is the command to install them?
[17:49] <ikonia> !wifi > andy12345
[17:50] <stellarnight> Speaking of wifi, I need someone to throw some ideas at me on how to get mine working. I've been trying for a few days now.
[17:50] <andy12345> @ikonia Thank you I went through it, but I woul really like to know the "command" to use in terminal to install any packages downloaded, but when offline
[17:50]  * DASPRiD throws peanuts at stellarnight 
[17:50] <stellarnight> Lol
[17:50] <HRPufnstuf> was just playing - and I am happy with Ubuntu Linux myself - and really have no prob's and I'm on a 2001 box
[17:50] <DASPRiD> andy12345, packages are installed with dpkg -i package.deb
[17:50] <stellarnight> andy12345: The command depends on the computer.
[17:51] <theshadow> Question in Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook Edition what happened to ALT+F2?
[17:51] <DASPRiD> stellarnight, andy12345: and how the driver was packaged
[17:51] <andy12345> .tarz.gz something
[17:51] <andy12345> I will extract it first
[17:51] <andy12345> right?
[17:51] <DASPRiD> right
[17:51] <stellarnight> That's right.
[17:51] <hagus> I have a machine with 160Gb hard drive.  It runs windows xp and connects with the internet.  I want to delete everything and install ubuntu10.10 instead.  However, whilst windows can find my wireless network - ubuntu does not seem to be able to.  I have selected to enable networks.  However, it does not even scan for wireless networks in my vicinity!  Any idea how I can enable network so that it connects to my wifi ?
[17:51] <andy12345> @DASPRiD Thank You very much hope you have a nice day
[17:51] <DASPRiD> andy12345, if there's a configure file in it, the usual tripple may be enough: ./configure && make && sudo make install
[17:52] <stellarnight> hagus: That's my problem!
[17:52] <DASPRiD> stellarnight, learn to share! :PO
[17:53] <hagus> I am trying to install from the install icon.  Glad that I am not alone, stellarnight - but sorry that you should be struggling too :)
[17:53] <dewey_> could someone tell me if I could run a upstart script without sudo?
[17:53] <Remarc1> I have installed Maverick ubuntu 10.10 and I have sound problem, actually it doens't work. Has anybody has a solution for this problem?
[17:53] <andy12345> @DASPRiD, if there is a configure file then after "opening terminal in that folder" and running ./configure && make && sudo make install should do it?
[17:53] <stellarnight> hagus: Ubuntu says that everything should be in working order and I've tried anything I've found in doc pages but still nothing.
[17:53] <B-r00t> Remarc1: try killall pulseaudio
[17:54] <DASPRiD> andy12345, probably
[17:54] <Remarc1> ok I try
[17:54] <hagus> When my install begins, it tells me that my network is not enabled.
[17:54] <wn1zid> just stepped in to say happy turkey day to all.
[17:54] <andy12345> @DASPRiD, actually I have a lot of problems but you just sorted one of them and I can't express my gratitude in word/chat :P
[17:54] <kotelete> hi
[17:54] <hagus> When I click the little icon at the top right hand corner of the screen, I ask it to enable network - it becomes ticked but that's as far as it goes.
[17:55] <DASPRiD> andy12345, just express it in cookies :)
[17:55] <stellarnight> hagus: Likewise. What I *think* it is is a problem with conflicting blacklisting or wireless driver.
[17:55] <kotelete> is there a paket named google earth for maverick?
[17:55] <andy12345> DASPRiD, 80% of those will get solved once I get net :D
[17:55] <stellarnight> hagus: But I can't figure out how to change the blacklist files. Even sudo won't let me.
[17:55] <andy12345> @DASPRiD, ty again and enjoy your day or night or w/e time zone your in :P
[17:55] <DASPRiD> andy12345, thanks, you too
[17:56] <dewey_> does someone know how to run a upstart script (/etc/init/script.conf) without sudo?
[17:56] <stellarnight> hagus: blacklistin *for....
[17:56] <DASPRiD> dewey_, do commands within the upstart script require root privileges?
[17:57] <masterjail> hi! can you connect with pidgin or empathy using a msn account? :S
[17:57] <hagus> When I look at my control panel for the router, the MAC number of the ubuntu computer shows up.
[17:57] <dewey_> DASPRiD: no, they can run as $USER, I've chown the file to $USER but I'm getting the following error
[17:57] <hagus> So, the fault must be at the ubuntu end of things.
[17:57] <dewey_> start: Unable to connect to system bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory
[17:58] <dewey_> DASPRiD: so the /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket needs a chown for the user as well?
[17:58] <jdimatteo> masterjail: yes
[17:58] <masterjail> jdimatteo: do you know if microsoft changed the msn protocol or something? :S
[18:00] <prasoon> i have a problem with my ubuntu can any one help me
[18:00] <artsi> hello
[18:01] <stellarnight> hagus: Yeah, I tried two other usb wireless cards and tethering my iPhone two different ways and nothing worked. The only program that seemed to acknowledge that I had a wireless card was Wifi Radar and it only worked with a USB wifi card AND I still couldn't connect, but I could see AP's around me.
[18:01] <hagus> My network symbol shows a red "!" and when I click on it, it goes on about VPN.
[18:02] <stellarnight> hagus: What brand of computer are you running it on?
[18:02] <hagus> medion
[18:02] <hagus> However, I have had ubuntu on a medion before.
[18:02] <stellarnight> What is your wireless card vendor?
[18:02] <hagus> need to go n check
[18:03] <stellarnight> I've had Ubuntu on mine as well, previous version. I'm pretty sure wireless worked then.
[18:04] <hagus> creatix ?
[18:04] <hagus> It keeps telling me that my network is disabled and that I am offline.
[18:04] <prasoon> i have ubuntu on my laptop along with kbuntu and win xp... i was trying to change the panel settings when i accidentally put 2 panels on the same location and all  my panels auto hide and when i log it it just freezes  PLEASE PLEASE help me
[18:05] <stellarnight> Weird, I've never heard of that brand. Have you check the ubuntu docs online to see if it is listed?
[18:05] <ActionParsnip> hagus: if you run: sudo lshw -C network   you will see the chip used, the make / model is moot.
[18:05] <jdimatteo> masterjail: no, why would you think that?  I just logged into an msn account with Pidgin with no problem
[18:05] <jdimatteo> masterjail: have you tried connecting to an MSN account with Pidgin?
[18:05] <jdimatteo> my wifi network seems insanely slow.  anybody know of good tools to measure latency and packet loss to my wireless router?  is ping really the best thing we have got?
[18:05] <FloodBot3> jdimatteo: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:05] <ActionParsnip> hagus: you can use the chip make / model to find guides
[18:05] <Kingsy> ok, whats going on here, if I share a usb drive on my ubuntu pc (all privs including guest access) then if I try to view that drive from another pc... it comes up with an error.. umm it says "opening pthek" for ages and then unable to mount location error
[18:05] <Kingsy> anyone seen this before?
[18:05] <ActionParsnip> jdimatteo: i suggest you reboot then run: dmesg | less     read through to see when the wireless is detected, it may need a firmware file
[18:06] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy: how are you sharing the folder
[18:06] <Kingsy> ActionParsnip: I just right cliekd and went down to sharing options
[18:06] <kjcole> Are the affects of chattr cached?   I cannot delete a file that I own in a writeable directory... http://paste.ubuntu.com/536390/
[18:07] <Acs> hello
[18:07] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy: ok so you are using samba
[18:07] <greenmang0_> stellarnight: did you try commad line method for wifi?
[18:07] <Kingsy> yea
[18:07] <Acs> I am using grep with these parameters -P -o "prop1=(\d+)&amp;prop2=(\d+)"
[18:07] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy: if you run: smbtree on the client, do you see the share?
[18:07] <Acs> is it posible to just return the contents of the two (\d+)
[18:07] <jdimatteo> ActionParsnip: how do I identify the line in dmesg for networking?
[18:07] <greenmang0_> stellarnight: i am configuring wifi through command line
[18:07] <greenmang0_> stellarnight: s/i am/i mean
[18:08] <aeon-ltd> anyone know what this is in ncmpcpp? (well it looks like ncmpcpp anyway) http://ompldr.org/vNmFobw
[18:08] <prasoon> i have ubuntu on my laptop along with kbuntu and win xp... i was trying to change the panel settings when i accidentally put 2 panels on the same location and all  my panels auto hide and when i log it it just freezes  PLEASE PLEASE help me
[18:09] <jdimatteo> ActionParsnip: ok, I see a bunch of eth0 lines that I believe refer to my wifi, but I don't really know what it means
[18:10] <jdimatteo> is 5% packet loss and an average round trip ping time of 521 ms normal for a home 802.11g network?
[18:11] <cdm10> jdimatteo: No. No it is not.
[18:11] <jdimatteo> cdm10: thanks for verifying.  It does seem ridiculously slow
[18:11] <cdm10> jdimatteo: does that happen even when you're close to the router?
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> jdimatteo: keep reading, its fairly english
[18:11] <jdimatteo> cdm10: I am sitting within arms reach of the router
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> !panelreset | prasoon
[18:12] <greenmang0_> prasoon: i just tried adding panel over panel
[18:12] <cdm10> jdimatteo: yuck.. is that pinging the router or pingnig something else on the network?
[18:12] <jdimatteo> cdm10: pinging the router
[18:12] <shadowblade> Can someone help me figure out how to get the monitor connected to the VGA port on my laptop to use the correct resolution? It's a Dell e1505, nvidia drivers are installed.
[18:13] <jdimatteo> do Linksys Wireless-G routers generally suck?  (it is a WRT54G)
[18:13] <prasoon> i am sorry i cant do any thing after i log in it will show just my desktop with icons any shortcutsor can i do that in my kbuntu
[18:13] <ikonia> jdimatteo: nothing to do with ubuntu
[18:13] <cdm10> jdimatteo: No, they don't... I had one and it was great. Is it the same from any other computer on the network? If it's just on a machine running Ubuntu, it could be a driver issue.
[18:15] <jdimatteo> cdm10: it is just the Ubuntu machine.  e.g. my Mac pinging the router shows 0% packet loss and a round trip average of 29ms
[18:15] <kjcole> prasoon:  If you press CTRL-ALT-F1 , you may be able to get to a shell where you can work.
[18:15] <cdm10> jdimatteo: what kind of NIC is in the machine?
[18:15] <airtonix> noob question about eclipse : how to change the tooltip background colour here : http://imagebin.org/124844 (changing my system > preferences > appearance > theme > customise > colours > tooltips color, doesn't seem to affect it)
[18:16] <jdimatteo> cdm10: can you please explain how to find the NIC?
[18:16] <kjcole> prasoon: (and then follow the directions provided by ActionParsnip).
[18:16] <ActionParsnip> jdimatteo: ive deployed a few, they arent bad. Probably the settings in the wifi
[18:16] <jdimatteo> ActionParsnip: thanks for the heads up
[18:16] <airtonix> jdimatteo, NIC is an acronym for : Network Interface Card
[18:16] <cdm10> jdimatteo: the NIC is the network card, what kind of network card do you have?
[18:16] <cdm10> jdimatteo: If you don't know, I can help you find what it is.
[18:17] <littlejoey> !lshw
[18:17] <jdimatteo> cdm10: I don't know.  some intel PCI Express thingie I think... please help me find what it is
[18:17] <cdm10> littlejoey: gesundheit
[18:18] <cdm10> jdimatteo: Littlejoey has it right, although ubotu appears to be MIA at the moment... open a terminal, run "sudo lshw | less", and scroll through until you find your network adapter
[18:18] <kjcole> Any thoughts on why I cannot delete a file I own?  I had set the immutable, but then unset it later.  It currently shows it to be "mutable".  http://paste.ubuntu.com/536390/
[18:19] <bakra> is there a way to fsck an ecryptfs volume?
[18:19] <prasoon> ok i will try and come back here
[18:19] <ZykoticK9_> kjcole, add write support in order to delete
[18:19] <cdm10> bakra: the decrypted device should be under /dev/mapper/something-or-other, you can fsck that.

[18:21] <ZykoticK9_> kjcole, do you have permissions on the directory that installNC.sh is in?

[18:21] <cdm10> jdimatteo: hmm, I have one of those, and I don't have any latency issues..
[18:22] <littlejoey> jdimatteo: did you install the right driver for it?
[18:22] <kjcole> ZykoticK9 and littlejoey, tried with and without sudo... No joy.  Permissions on the directory are fine.
[18:22] <ZykoticK9_> kjcole, sorry I don't know then.  best of luck.
[18:22] <cdm10> Anyone have any ideas on how to change the default font color in OpenOffice?

[18:24] <littlejoey> jdimatteo: yeah it's a bit tricky the first time but there is a page to help you install your driver, let me find it hang on
[18:25] <quiescens> the solution to everything isn't automatically "sudo chmod"
[18:25] <quiescens> lol
[18:25] <jdimatteo> littlejoey: thanks, I appreciate your help.  I'm not used to installing drivers, but I'm happy to read good documentation explaining how
[18:25] <B-r00t> kjcole: login as root : sudo -i : chmod a+wrx -R -v installNC.sh
[18:25] <quiescens> if it was a basic
[18:25] <cdm10> jdimatteo: quite honestly, Ubuntu SHOULD come with the right driver for broadcom chipsets... it worked on mine.
[18:25]  * quiescens sighs
[18:26] <cdm10> jdimatteo: can you check System>Admin>Additional Drivers?
[18:26] <killguta> How do I force monitor resolution without a graphics card? :(
[18:26] <kjcole> B-r00t http://paste.ubuntu.com/536397/
[18:26] <MagicJ> cdm10 - I believe that you need to plug into a wired port one time so that ubuntu can get those drivers.  This at least has been my experience with 10.4
[18:27] <user> luky
[18:27] <jdimatteo> cdm10: "Proprietary drivers are being used to make this computer work...Broadcom STA wireless driver...Tested by the Ubuntu developers...This driver is activated and currently in use
[18:27] <cdm10> MagicJ: His system connects, though.. it's just slow.
[18:27] <littlejoey> interesting
[18:27] <cdm10> jdimatteo: Do you have any other OS on that system?
[18:28] <littlejoey> jdimatteo can you connect to other wireless networks?
[18:28] <ActionParsnip> killguta: could use xrandr
[18:28] <cdm10> jdimatteo: also, jsut to rule out some weird temporary router thing, have you tried power-cycling the router?
[18:28] <jdimatteo> cdm10: no, I did a clean install of Ubuntu 10.10.  However, I do have a bunch of virtualization stuff installed which I assume has nothing to do with the issues I'm seeing
[18:28] <cdm10> jdimatteo: not that I can think of..
[18:29] <killguta> ActionParsnip: xrandr allows me only 2 resolutions, 800x600 and 640x480
[18:29] <ActionParsnip> killguta: you can add resolutions too
[18:29] <cdm10> killguta: What's wrong with 800x600? In my day.... :P
[18:29] <killguta> ActionParsnip: How? Would you help me?
[18:29] <jdimatteo> cdm10: I haven't tried power cycling the router yet...  this seems like a persistent issue across power cycling though, and keep in mind that my Mac isn't having any latency issues
[18:29] <Pricey> Anyone else unable to connect to msn via empathy?
[18:29] <planedriver> is graphics flickering while running games on ubuntu a known issue (ATI graphics card)?
[18:29] <ActionParsnip> killguta: there are examples online as well as: man xrandr
[18:30] <littlejoey> jdimatteo: what is the encryption? is it wpa? I remember I used to have problems with those
[18:30] <killguta> Tried google, but I can't find anything that works
[18:30] <cdm10> jdimatteo: I'm quite out of ideas at the moment... actually, there's a second driver for broadcom devices, called b43... there may be information on the wiki on how to install it.
[18:30] <navpq> Hi all
[18:31] <cdm10> !broadcom | jdimatteo

[18:31] <BluesKaj> !broadcom | jdimatteo
[18:31] <jdimatteo> littlejoey: the encryption is WPA/WPA2 -- do you think that could be it?
[18:32] <littlejoey> jdimatteo: it might be... not sure. Try to set your router to WEP for now if you know how to do that, just to test it
[18:32] <killguta> ActionParsnip: Bing?! Isn't that spawn of the MicroSoft? :D
[18:32] <jdimatteo> ok, lots of information, thanks everybody, I'll read this documentation
[18:32] <BluesKaj> cdm10, din't see your post
[18:32] <ActionParsnip> killguta: its microsoft's search engine. yes....
[18:33] <Zack> My 'notification' applet in my tray says i'm connected to my home's wireless connection, but i am unable to load web pages. Any suggestions?
[18:33] <ActionParsnip> Zack: can you ping 8.8.8.8 ?
[18:33] <littlejoey> Zack: check the modem, cables etc
[18:33] <Zack> i am on the same wireless connection on a separate laptop talking to you right now
[18:33] <littlejoey> oh lol
[18:34] <Zack> when i type ping 8.8.8.8 in terminal it echos the command but doesn't appear to be doing anything..
[18:34] <littlejoey> Zack: could it be a driver thing?
[18:34] <Zack> 100% packet loss
[18:34] <jdimatteo> wow, did ubottu really just parse littlejoey's compliment and respond intelligently?  some bot, lol
[18:34] <ActionParsnip> Zack: then you aren't connected, or don't have an ip address on the adapter
[18:35] <ActionParsnip> jdimatteo: ubottu is smart, but not intelligent ;)
[18:35] <navpq> how to install adobe flash player ?
[18:35] <cdm10> !flash | navpq
[18:36] <Zack> all i know is that i am able to connect to the same network with the same laptop on the windows boot and it tells me i am connected in the tray.
[18:36] <erUSUL> navpq: install flashplugin-instaler
[18:36] <cdm10> gah, that doc is outdated and painful.
[18:36] <littlejoey> Zack: what is your card, and what is your driver?
[18:36] <littlejoey> !lshw
[18:36] <littlejoey> oh come on ubottu
[18:37] <Zack> littlejoey - where might i find that information?
[18:37] <cdm10> it doesn't know lshw
[18:37] <littlejoey> Zack type sudo lshw | less
[18:37] <hagus> I have connected to the internet using a wired connection and hopefully, I shall be able to get the wireless to work after installation.

The system uses /media/<volume-label> format. So I just made a sample disc with APTonCD that just contains GIMP to test out. The discs are labeled by default "APTonCD", so when I insert the disc it gets mounted to "/media/APTonCD". I can add a sources.list entry that reads "de
[18:40] <Zack> littlejoey: I believe it's PRO/Wireless 5100 AGN that you're looking for?  And the driver version? 2.6.35-23-generic-pae?

[18:40] <Colegiance> Anyone care to help me with an issue configuring the firefox 4 beta?
[18:40] <hagus> I have found a guide to dealing with the card for Debian - so should be similar, I think (I hope)
[18:40] <ActionParsnip> Colegiance: if you add the mozilla ppa you can install it using the package system, i recommend you remove it after installing the browser so it doesn't update the other firefox or thunderbird (if you use it)
[18:40] <littlejoey> Zack: yeah, and are you able to connect to other wireless networks?

[18:42] <LinuxGuy2009> ikonia: However if I dont have the disc in the system and try to install GIMP from it to test, it doesnt ask me to insert any discs like it used to so it just throws an error that the folder isnt found, of course thats cause the disc wasnt in the system and didnt get dynamically mounted. So how can I get it to work correctly and tell me which APTonCD disc to insert? Do I need to manually make a fstab entry so they dont get mounted dynami

[18:44] <mikeconcepts__> I need help https://answers.launchpad.net/hplip/+faq/1356 how is this patch applied?
[18:44] <littlejoey> Zack: I meant connection information
[18:45] <greenmang0> MGMT: it's a command line solution

[18:45] <MGMT> greenmang0 doesnt do anything
[18:45] <MGMT> i tried that earlier
[18:45] <greenmang0> MGMT: works for me
[18:45] <MGMT> im looking for a "use the button thats supposed to disable it" comand
[18:46] <littlejoey> Zack: ok it is time to use google, let's see what I can find (but I'll be back in a few minutes)
[18:46] <Zack> alright. thank you.
[18:46] <MGMT> greenmang0 did you edit it in xorg.conf?
[18:46] <ActionParsnip> elyos: all i did was websearch. I have no experience of sql at all...
[18:46] <AzizLight> ActionParsnip, thanks, that fixed the problem :)
[18:46] <greenmang0> MGMT: the synclient binary is provided by  xserver-xorg-input-synaptics package
[18:47] <OY1R> is it ok for me to remove all the items that Computer Janitor has marked ?
[18:47] <greenmang0> MGMT: i don't have xorg.conf
[18:48] <greenmang0> MGMT: you will have to enable SHMConfig
[18:48] <MagicJ> ActionParsnip - ty so much the link that you gave me did give me how to make my own screens, or at least guided me enough that I worked it out
[18:48] <ZykoticK9_> greenmang0, if you need/want to create an xorg.conf you can see my notes at http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/create-an-xorg-conf-file
[18:48] <greenmang0> MGMT: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad
[18:48] <MGMT>  greenmang0 that will make it so i can use the button on my laptop to disable it?
[18:49] <Zack> littlejoey?
[18:49] <ActionParsnip> MagicJ: sweet :0
[18:49] <greenmang0> ZykoticK9_: thanks.... but I guess my system is running happily without it :)
[18:50] <greenmang0> MGMT: oh ... so you mean the button on your laptop is not able to disable touchpad?
[18:50] <MGMT> yes, thats exactly what im saying
[18:50] <MagicJ> so, now my next question - how do I stop some of the user accounts showing on the menu of accounts that comes up to sign on - clearly there is a method because some don't show
[18:50] <MGMT> the only way ive been able to disable the mousepad is by using a terminal and the comand "sudo modprobe -r psmouse"
[18:51] <littlejoey> Zack: I found this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/575492
[18:51] <Zack> littlejoey, i can't explain it but it just started.. working

[18:51] <littlejoey> hahaha
[18:51] <greenmang0> MGMT: is it a single button or involves the combination... like FunctionKey + DisableTouchPadKey
[18:51] <Zack> =] but thank you - i very much appreciate your help!
[18:51] <MGMT> its a button with a picture of a touchpad and a / through it
[18:51] <littlejoey> Zack: ok but if you experience problems again then look up those links
[18:52] <MGMT> its not a fn then the button, its just a button like the power button
[18:52] <Zack> absolutely! thanks!
[18:52] <greenmang0> MGMT: ok
[18:53] <greenmang0> MGMT: i don't know ... installing gsynaptics  might help

[19:03] <vitall> good afternoon
[19:04] <elyos> my mysql install just got messed up, i can no longer log in as root, is there some easy ubuntu way of resetting the root password?
[19:04] <elyos> it's not just the regular directions, because there's some special ubuntu stuff in the way
[19:04] <vitall> i'm having problem with ubuntu one some one can help me ?
[19:04] <ikonia> elyos: no, you have to start the database without grant tables and reset the password that way, it's well documented on the mysql site
[19:04] <greenmang0> elyos: dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server
[19:04] <ZykoticK9_> vitall, there is an ubuntuone channel
[19:05] <vitall> ok thanks
[19:05] <elyos> ikonia, i cant figure out how to do that with ubuntu, it's not letting me like the instructions say
[19:05] <ikonia> elyos: there is no special ubuntu stuff to stop you recovering / resetting the password
[19:05] <ikonia> elyos: what part is failing
[19:05] <vitall> i didn't founded
[19:05] <elyos> /etc/init.d/mysql start --skip-grant-tables   is not allowed on ubuntu
[19:06] <LinuxGuy2009> Ok so I ruled out if APTonCD created discs are incompatible or formated wrong for 10.04 repository discs. I tried inserting the 10.04.1 Desktop CD in the drive and its mounted dynamically with the same format of /media/<volume-label> and it also can NOT be added as a package source just like the APTonCD discs. Whats up with this?
[19:06] <ZykoticK9_> elyos, init.d is the old (non-upstart) method to manage services
[19:06] <ikonia> elyos: thats now how you start it
[19:06] <elyos> ikonia, it's not working
[19:06] <greenmang0> elyos: are you talking about mysql password ? or system password?
[19:06] <ikonia> elyos: you need to pass it as an option to the mysqld_safe program that launches mysqld for you
[19:07] <ikonia> elyos: the guide doesn't say use an init script, it says start mysqld with --skip-grant-tables
[19:07] <ikonia> elyos: passing options to init scripts like that doesn't work
[19:07] <elyos> ikonia, thx i'll try that
[19:08] <LinuxGuy2009> Discs that you want to use as a software source need to be mounted specifically to the mount point "/media/apt/". Why did they change something like that?
[19:08] <elyos> ikonia, do i have to find the actual binary mysql file?
[19:08] <SuperTeece> Hi all
[19:08] <ikonia> elyos: mysqld is the binary
[19:10] <wrd> Hi! I need newer packages than in the current release. Sometimes I end up porting packages from debian unstable, because I don't want clutter in my /usr/local. I think about making my own PPA so others can actually use these packages. I wonder if ubuntu-devs actually import PPA packages to the next stable release. Or should I contact somebody, so that work isn't done twice?
[19:10] <wildc4rd> evenin all!
[19:10] <mattwj2002> hey guys
[19:10] <elyos> ikonia, thx for all the help

[19:12] <ikonia> grindhold: no
[19:13] <grindhold> ikonia: thanks. all's just rumour

[19:16] <irv> anyone out there running 10.10 on a MBP 1,1?

[19:18] <DavidJHeinrich> hi all, I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 fresh...stuff looks pretty ugly, text fonds ugly, fonts not anti-aliased...and I kept my /home folder (it was its own partition). How can I get my users back in /home? I have user folders in /home other than the one I created when installing 10.10 fresh...
[19:18] <SuperTeece> ok thanks
[19:18] <mattwj2002> !syslog
[19:19] <wrd> DavidJHeinrich: did you backup the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files?
[19:19] <fzeta> nas noches, perlas:)
[19:19] <DavidJHeinrich> wrd: arg, no  Ididn't....I didn't know there was any user data outside of /home
[19:20] <DavidJHeinrich> wrd: people had said that if you ave /home as its own partition, when reinstalling you don't lose your users!
[19:21] <erUSUL> !es | fzeta
[19:21] <wrd> DavidJHeinrich: well the only content that is lost then is the username/password pairs... not exactly sure: but just readding the users should be fine, you should take care of the user and group id's in your home partition though. Otherwise the home directories actually belong to somebody else.
[19:21] <DavidJHeinrich> wrd: oh wait, I backed up all of my folders to an external 2TB HD
[19:21] <wildc4rd> what would be the quickest X to run on a netbook? got Gnome at the moment, but its a bit slow

[19:22] <_spm_Draget> Ubuntu 10.04.1 here. When mounting a samba share, filenames with a colon ':' are manged by samba to some cryptic names. It does this for windows-clients that cannot handle ':' in filenames. But ubuntu could handle these, since posix has no problems with ':'. On a different machine (64bit gentoo, 2.6.35 with cifs module and default mount settigns) it can read the files including the : without problems. Can I make ubuntu tell samba
[19:22] <_spm_Draget> somehow that it is not a windows client?
[19:22] <DavidJHeinrich> wrd: brb, have to reboot, installed ATI's prop drivers
[19:23] <SuperTeece> I'm looking to uninstall ATI module or stop from loading... ideas?
[19:24] <DavidJHeinrich> ok, installing ATI's proprietary drivers made everything look much better
[19:24] <DavidJHeinrich> now text is anti-aliased, fonts are nice, etc
[19:31] <irv> anyone out there running 10.10 on a MBP 1,1?

[19:33] <xangua> !panels | lahwran sT331h0rs3
[19:34] <jeand_> bonjour tt le monde
[19:34] <irv> no issue, just wondering if they experienced any compatibility issues.
[19:34] <ActionParsnip> Irv: I'm sure lots of people do
[19:34] <lahwran> xangua, thank you very much
[19:34] <rww> ubottu: fr | jeand_
[19:35] <ActionParsnip> Irv: never understood it though, overpriced hardware to then put linux on... may as well buy a non-mac lappy, same speed at half the price and more than likely get better compatibiliyu
[19:36] <ActionParsnip> Irv: could check the ubuntu hcl
[19:36] <ActionParsnip> !hcl
[19:39] <Tweaky> hi. i have a cable that goes from vga output to svideo. however, my pc is not outputing an svideo signal. is there any way to change the output from vga to svideo? (im using a dvi-d monitor connection but pc has vga as well) and yes both outputs do work at the same time if i connect a vga monitor, but id like to convert this vga output to svideo
[19:40] <ActionParsnip> Tweaky: what video chip?
[19:40] <dorkface> Hi all.  I currently have a point-to-point connection between two PC's using a crossover cable.  One of the PCs is an ubuntu box with a samba share setup.  However, when I use that point to point network, for some reason, it takes ~1 minute for the computer to decide that it wants to ask for credentials.  Is this normal?  How would I troubleshoot it?
[19:41] <Tweaky> ActionParsnip: ATI Radeon 4200
[19:42] <ActionParsnip> dorkface: are you accessing the share via ip or name?

[19:43] <ActionParsnip> !fr
[19:43] <grendal_prime> can anyone recommend one?
[19:43] <tibrox> I edited my .bashrc incorrectly and wiped my PATH.  How can I restore it?
[19:43] <ActionParsnip> !hcl | grendal_prime
[19:44] <brontoeee> grendal_prime, i got d-link the other day, works ok
[19:44] <ActionParsnip> tibrox: restore your backup
[19:44] <Tweaky> ActionParsnip: i guess im wondering if there is some sort of software available that i can output an svideo signal out of vga
[19:44] <tibrox> ActionParsnip, lol.  What backup?
[19:45] <quiescens> to my knowledge the default .bashrc doesn't do anything to PATH anyway
[19:45] <ActionParsnip> tibrox: either your regular backup, or the backup you made before you started playing
[19:45] <tibrox> ActionParsnip, it's more real when playing without a backup...
[19:45] <duffydack> Im getting an error when sudo apt-get update, the extras keyring is not there, yet it IS there, its installed and I have reinstalled it.  This is fresh install of maverck
[19:46] <ActionParsnip> tibrox: I'm guessing you have neither, so you can copy the one from /root and chown it to $USER:$USER
[19:46] <ActionParsnip> tibrox: no its more dumb, you have no rollback path if you screwup
[19:46] <_spm_Draget> Ubuntu 10.04.1 here. When mounting a samba share, filenames with a colon ':' are manged by samba to some cryptic names.

[19:46] <_spm_Draget> somehow that it is not a windows client? I think it is some client-side config...
[19:47] <ActionParsnip> tibrox: all it would've taken was: cp $HOME/.bashrc $HOME/.bashrc_backup
[19:47] <ActionParsnip> tibrox: you now have a known working file you can fall back on easily
[19:47] <wrd> ActionParsnip: thanks for your answer. you didn't answer though if packages in PPA end up in universe some time later.
[19:47] <tibrox> ActionParsnip, yeah, I never thought I'd need that.  I have my other data backed up, fwiw
[19:48] <quiescens> root's .bashrc is different to a user's default .bashrc, anyway, more to the point, /etc/skel/.bashrc is what gets copied when a new user is created
[19:48] <fivethreeo> is there a way to install multiple python versions alongside eachoter in ubuntu?
[19:48] <ActionParsnip> tibrox: cool, always always always make copys of conf files before playing and you'll be fine
[19:49] <ActionParsnip> wrd: the later versions of packages get added in the standard package review
[19:49] <tibrox> what if I deleted my .bashrc and saved the "important" info, like the kernel workarounds and rebooted.  Would my file be automagically be recreated?
[19:49] <ActionParsnip> wrd: they will be compiled by the motu
[19:49] <erUSUL> tibrox: you can get a stock bashrc from /etc/skel/
[19:49] <ActionParsnip> tibrox: not sure, I wouldn't chance it but you could always boot to rootrecovery and copy over.
[19:49] <tibrox> k
[19:50] <SuperTeece> are there steps required after adding a module to blacklist.conf to make it take effect?
[19:50] <wrd> ActionParsnip: oh that sounds great.
[19:50] <wrd> ActionParsnip: thank you for the info
[19:50] <ActionParsnip> tibrox: the autocomplete isn't enabled in roots .bashrc there are some lines to uncomment and it'll work
[19:50] <ActionParsnip> wrd: np
[19:51] <tibrox> lemme fiddle quick.  What could possibly go wrong

[20:01] <fnmueller> hi, I would like to be able tu run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade" via sudo without a password for my user "fnmueller". So I created a bash file in /home/fnmueller/bin/scripts/system_update.sh which works perfectly if called manually. However, I wanted a shorter way to call the script, so I put "alias pcupdate='/home/fnmueller/bin/scripts/system_update.sh'" in my ~\.bashrc. So what do I have to do to make that work password
[20:01] <fnmueller> less in combination with sudo?
[20:02] <ActionParsnip> fnmueller: if you want to cron (schedule) the job, cron it as root and it won't need a password

[20:03] <fnmueller> ActionParsnip: I don't want to cron my system update, I want to do it manually ;-)
[20:03] <mkanyicy> Hi everyone, how can i change gnome login screen?
[20:03] <ActionParsnip> fnmueller: or you can mess with sudoers (risky) to make the command not need password (but will still need sudo)
[20:03] <fnmueller> just without a password and with less command hassle
[20:03] <ActionParsnip> !sudoers | fnmueller
[20:03] <fnmueller> that's the plan, to use sudo
[20:03] <ActionParsnip> !sudo
[20:04] <wrd> fnmueller: you could chown the file to root and set the run as user it belongs bit (SUID). it's risky though , escpecially with shellscripts ;)
[20:04] <ActionParsnip> fnmueller: if you mess with sudoers and messit up, you will need to boot to rootrecovery mode to fix
[20:04] <yyz_> wtf
[20:04] <fnmueller> ActionParsnip: the only partthat I am missing is to get my .bashrc alias to work with sudo
[20:05] <nimbiotics> hello evry1. I've got a small mixed home LAN (ubuntu /windoze). Right now, I've got a shared folder in a windoze PC that I need to open with an ubuntu 10.10 PC, but When i double-click on "windows network", i keep geting message "Unable to mount location. Failed to retrieve share list from server". What do I need to do in order to open shared folders among theses PC's?? TIA!
[20:05] <mkanyicy> how can i change gnome login screen?
[20:05] <quiescens> wrd: you'll find that shell scripts can't technically be setuid without some considerable effort
[20:05] <hagus> Like the idiot I am, I have locked myself out of Ubuntu by changing password.  The new password does not seem to work for me.  I am root.  Is there any way of recovering from this position, short of a total re-install?
[20:05] <fnmueller> ActionParsnip: btw: I am not scared of a messed up sudoers file, which btw, I doubt will happen if I use visudo
[20:06] <ActionParsnip> fnmueller: if you make a symlink to your script in /usr/bin then it will be usable in sudoers. I don't believe sudoers honours aliases
[20:06] <hagus> I had just finished letting the user auto-login.
[20:06] <hagus> Thus, Ubuntu opens and runs but I have lost access to the root as I must have mistyped the password :(
[20:06] <ActionParsnip> hagus: boot to root recovery mode and run: passwd foo ,change foo for your username. Reboot and login as foo with the password you set
[20:06] <Tweaky> hi. managed to find this http://superuser.com/questions/24909/ubuntu-output-screen-to-tv-set-using-s-video about configuring vga to svideo output, my only concern is that i have 2 video outputs. anyone know how to specify which one i want to apply these commands to?
[20:06]  * hagus kicks himself
[20:07] <hagus> ActionParsnip: you are a saint!  Thanks very much.
[20:07] <mkanyicy> nimbiotics, send the files from windows to ubuntu using filezilla
[20:07] <fnmueller> ActionParsnip: grrr, I have somehting like a "running" home that replicates over many machines.... therefore, I will not be able to put aything into /usr/bin
[20:07] <ActionParsnip> hagus: youcan get root recovery by holding shift at boot, select recovery mode, select root
[20:07] <hagus> thanks very much.
[20:07] <_spm_Draget> accessing a smb:// uri in ubuntu sends it through gvfs, right?
[20:08] <ActionParsnip> fnmueller: you could add your scripts folder to $PATH
[20:08] <ActionParsnip> _spm_Draget: yes
[20:08] <fnmueller> ActionParsnip: true, but would that change the sudo problem?
[20:09] <nimbiotics> mkanyicy: thx, will check
[20:09] <dxdemetriou> is there gtkdialog or something similar that works with current Gnome version? Zenity has less options.
[20:09] <duffydack> nimbiotics, install samba
[20:09] <mkanyicy> nimbiotics, np
[20:09] <ActionParsnip> fnmueller: btw, you don't need the .sh on the end of scripts. It doesn't tell the OS its a script
[20:09] <fnmueller> ActionParsnip: I know, but that way I now in 10 years from now what I intended ;-)
[20:10] <fnmueller> ActionParsnip: I don't like the script soluteoin btw, as it counteracts the sudo principle. I would rather just enable that update && upgrade command in sudo
[20:10] <ActionParsnip> fnmueller: then the interpretter will find the commnd in the folder and run it, let's you execute it from anywhere, look into visudo and sudoers but tread carefully
[20:11] <wrd> quiescens: oh you're right. wonder why that should be technically impossible.
[20:11] <quiescens> fnmueller: i'm not sure how your script solution would work
[20:11] <ActionParsnip> fnmueller: well, the command to enable would be apt-get but this will enable anyone and any malicious javascript to run apt-get
[20:11] <fnmueller> quiescens: http://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=632874&p=11952528
[20:11] <fnmueller> quiescens: btw: tested on my machine --Y it really does work,
[20:12] <quiescens> wrd: because you're not really "running" the script, you're technically running /bin/sh on the script, and /bin/sh isn't suid
[20:12] <Polemus> would anyone mind helping me setting up my 3rd monitor
[20:12] <fnmueller> ActionParsnip: well, I can split up apt-get to run just for one user, just I can't make it run scripted after that
[20:12] <wildc4rd> the last few times I have installed ubuntu on the netbook I have had a windows PC to make the bootable USB drive, anyone have a handy link (or would be happy to talk me through) making up a bootable USB drive on a ubuntu box?
[20:12] <Superbest> hi, I am making a win7 install flash drive with unetbootin. It is telling me that there is no free space, but there is 3.5 gb free
[20:12] <quiescens> fnmueller: if you're doing that then what you've done is sudoers stuff
[20:13] <ActionParsnip> wildc4rd: run: usb-creator ,its obvious from then on in
[20:13] <fnmueller> quiescens: correct, that is what I said
[20:13] <Guest83163> Hi
[20:13] <wrd> quiescens: ah that makes perfect sense...
[20:13] <ActionParsnip> wildc4rd: its also part of a standard install. Could also use unetbootin
[20:13] <fnmueller> I know scripting, I kind of know sudoers, I just don't know how to make this specific problem wor
[20:13] <fnmueller> k
[20:14] <Guest83163> Can anyone help me get a USB DVB working?
[20:14] <BluesKaj> you guys have any experience with USB video feeds from a video source like a tv or pvr etc ? I'm looking at a USB video interface connection from my pvr to my pc .
[20:14] <ActionParsnip> fnmueller: you should research. The sudoers file is extremely sensitive
[20:14] <fnmueller> ActionParsnip: I did, that is why I came here, and as I said, my sudoers file works perfectly
[20:14] <ActionParsnip> Guest83163: run: lsusb ,websearch for the 8 character hex id to find guides
[20:15] <ActionParsnip> fnmueller: that's all I know, considering how the command is ran,afew. More keypresses can't hurt....
[20:15] <Guest83163> I think its DUTTV009
[20:15] <skot92> hi
[20:15] <fnmueller> ActionParsnip: well, I am nerd, I want it my keypress way
[20:15] <Guest83163> *DUTV009
[20:15] <ActionParsnip> Guest83163: what is printed on the case is moot, the hexid will tell you the. Chip
[20:15] <fnmueller> probably, anyone else could do what I have achieved so far :D
[20:16] <quiescens> fnmueller: if what you did was add a line to sudoers, to allow a specific script to be run with sudo
[20:16] <ActionParsnip> fnmueller: that's all I got
[20:16] <Polemus> would anyone mind helping me setting up my 3rd monitor
[20:16] <hagus> ActionParsnip: Thanks very much - that worked like a dream :)
[20:16] <quiescens> fnmueller: then your alias should be pcupdate='sudo (your script)'
[20:16] <fnmueller> quiescens: it is
[20:16] <dorbin> is this channel OK for help?
[20:16]  * hagus has recovered his password
[20:16] <ActionParsnip> hagus: nice way to fix stuff when it goes mental.
[20:16] <ActionParsnip> dorbin: sure, ubuntu support only
[20:16] <fnmueller> quiescens: alias pcupdate='/home/fnmueller/bin/scripts/system_update.sh' to be exact
[20:17] <Guest83163> ActionParsnip, Im very new to linux. Is this what im looking for Bus 001 Device 006: ID 18b4:1689 e3C Technologies DUTV009
[20:17] <rikk> Harro... I'm new with Ubuntu and trying to figure something out that seems to be the only install issue I'm having. Is anybody available to give me a hand with USB/Wireless issues?
[20:17] <quiescens> fnmueller: so where does it sudo? inside the script?
[20:18] <ActionParsnip> Guest83163: the id is 18b4:1689 so websearch 18b4:1689 ubuntu ,you will find guides
[20:18] <fnmueller> quiescens: yes --> #!/bin/bash sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade exit
[20:18] <donri> "No command 'pypy' found, did you mean: Command 'pype' from package 'pype' (universe)"  "E: Unable to locate package pypy"  what up?
[20:18] <quiescens> fnmueller: and your sudoers is set to allow your user to run apt-get without password?
[20:19] <wrd> fnmueller: actually doing multiple sudos can ask you multiple times for your password in certain conditions ...
[20:19] <Guest83163> Thank you ActionParsnip
[20:19] <rikk> anyone available to help with usb/wireless issues please
[20:19] <fnmueller> quiescens: no, that is exactly what I don't want to do, I only let it execute the exect command with options
[20:19] <fnmueller> exact

[20:21] <nimbiotics> duffydack, Everything is nstalled. Im trying to follow a step by step guide but there is something wrong here: Once I start the Samba Server Configuration, I get warning message stating that it couldn't understand some of the lines at smb.conf. Nevertheless I can add the (ubuntu) shared folder. When I go to Nautilius to see the folder's properties its NOT shared, and if I go back to open...
[20:21] <nimbiotics> ...Samba Server Configuration, I get warning again and the shared folder is NOT listed. Any and all ideas are appreciated. TIA!
[20:21] <xangua> zth: i use this ppa https://launchpad.net/~guido-iodice/+archive/best-intel use it under your own risk
[20:21] <quiescens> fnmueller: you can technically tell it to allow "apt-get update" and "apt-get -y dist-upgrade" if that's what you want
[20:22] <fnmueller> quiescens: yes please, how?
[20:23] <phapthan> hi

[20:24] <lieuwe> is there an easy way to sandbox programs? and if there is, is there a way for a program to sandbox itself?

[20:24] <lieuwe> fnmueller: i heard it has some vunerabilities
[20:24] <phosi> hi.. is ubuntu compatable with most computers?
[20:24] <lieuwe> phosi: yes
[20:24] <quiescens> the easiest way would have been just to have the first line, and have your alias be pcupdate='sudo /home/fnmueller/bin/scripts/system_update.sh'
[20:24] <zth> xangua, i need prop. drivers :(
[20:24] <fnmueller> lieuwe: ohhh, I am sure of that, especially the scipt part
[20:25] <lieuwe> fnmueller: is there an easy non-vunerable way to do this?
[20:25] <fnmueller> quiescens: well, that is what exactly does not work
[20:25] <fnmueller> quiescens: that is what I first thought too
[20:25] <fnmueller> lieuwe: easy? hell no?!
[20:25] <quiescens> or if that doesn't work because its a script
[20:26] <phosi> lieuwe: ok..
[20:26] <lieuwe> fnmueller: sure?
[20:26] <lieuwe> fnmueller: something semi-easy then?
[20:26] <fnmueller> lieuwe: ony death is a certain thing.....
[20:26] <quiescens> thepcupdate='sudo /bin/sh /home/fnmueller/bin/scripts/system_update.sh'
[20:26] <lieuwe> fnmueller: oh harhar, i'm being serious here
[20:26] <wrd> fnmueller: what if you don't alias it but instead write a function?
[20:26] <fnmueller> wrd: been there....
[20:27] <fnmueller> lieuwe: well, I don't think so, but if someone knows, I would be happy to hear about it
[20:27] <myrk> hi
[20:27] <quiescens> you said that you had: <fnmueller> quiescens: alias pcupdate='/home/fnmueller/bin/scripts/system_update.sh' to be exact
[20:27] <quiescens> shrugs
[20:27] <lieuwe> fnmueller: urk
[20:27] <lieuwe> fnmueller: no software packages that can do this for meh?
[20:27] <fnmueller> quiescens: arrr, you are in deed right
[20:27] <intrader> Anyone, I have several FAT volumes containing smalltak distributions. I no longer can execute .sh files in these FAT volumes -  used to work (last time they worked Nov. 10 as shown by date of smalltalk image file). So far, I am forced to copy the smalltalk distribution to local folder and then change the permissions for Pharo.sh and squeak. What I need is an automount capability to mount these volumes as executable so that Pharo.sh
[20:27] <intrader>  can open properly.
[20:27] <phosi> my only concern is.. if i buy a computer system (which will be a streaming computer for a radio station) and i can't find certain drivers for it.. its been awhile since i used a linux based OS..
[20:28] <intrader> Anyone, happy Thanksgiving
[20:28] <fnmueller> lieuwe: I never thought whis would change anything, as sudo commands are processed seperatly, meaning, giving the password can be done once, however, callig sudo again will again ask for the pwd
[20:28] <davidjheinrich> hi
[20:28] <fnmueller> lieuwe: I don't htink so
[20:29] <lieuwe> urk
[20:30] <phosi> when i first install ubuntu server will it install the drivers automatically or do i have to search for them on a manufacture website?
[20:30] <Slart> phosi: The easiest way. if you ask me, would be to buy a computer you can actually go see in a real store.. then you can ask if you can run a live cd on it.. that will tell you if things work out of the box.. if that's not possible I would check each component and google around or search the forums.. see if there are any bad reports about it.. there's also a hardware compatibility list but I'm not sure how up-to-date it is
[20:30] <Slart> !hcl | phosi
[20:31] <phosi> sweet.. thanks
[20:31] <Slart> phosi: then there's some hardware that doesn't work out of the box without some extra drivers or configuration.. this can also change between versions of ubuntu

[20:37] <Slart> Vooloo: you've set it up yourself?

[20:43] <jymere> hi ! I'm playing "a fun game" in order to master ssh connection. In fact i know the user name of the account, the private key (rsa) and the public key of the owner and I want to connect on his account. How can I proceed? Actually, I copy my two files in /hom/.ssh/ which contains the public key and the private key. Then I have to do the same thing of the other account, haven't I ? But it asked to me a password so i can't use this method. How can I do ?

[20:44] <Vooloo> Slart: ntpdate[22246]: no server suitable for synchronization found
[20:44] <Slart> Vooloo: ah.. there is a command to add servers, I think
[20:44] <nimbiotics> Volvo, GAdmin-SAMBA is installed I just dont know where iuts at :/
[20:44] <Slart> Vooloo: let me check
[20:44] <nimbiotics> mkanyicy: nope
[20:44] <Volvo> nimbiotics: Server tools
[20:45] <xrdodrx> intrader, that's not possible with IRC. for other ways to get support see http://ubuntu.com/support
[20:45] <jymere>  hi ! I'm playing "a fun game" in order to master ssh connection. In fact i know the user name of the account, the private key (rsa) and the public key of the owner and I want to connect on his account. How can I proceed? Actually, I copy my two files in /hom/.ssh/ which contains the public key and the private key. Then I have to do the same thing of the other account, haven't I ? But it asked to me a password so i can't use this method. How can I do ?
[20:45] <xrdodrx> !repeat | jymere
[20:45] <StrangeCharm> i'm trying to copy some files from an ntfs disk to an ext4 disk, and i get the error "error splicing file value too large for defined data type". what's going wrong here?
[20:45] <demetris_> my q is i have ubuntu server i want it to shudown when x amount of time inactive and have a wake on lan behaviour
[20:45] <tony283> Anyone knows what this error is about "Uncompression error - System Halted"
[20:45] <strange> hey guys i have a msi ae 1900 all in one pc thingie but if i plug in the audio plug to play over my amp the speakers in the machine itself dont disable anyone know a way how to mute them ?
[20:45] <tecnico> seems like somebody is playing the game to break into somebody else's acct.
[20:45] <intrader> xrdodrx, thanks, I will open
[20:45] <nimbiotics> Volvo: running ... lets see what happens
[20:45] <demetris_> i control it with webmin. no desktop
[20:46] <Vooloo> Slart: I will try to change the server line in /etc/ntp.conf
[20:46] <Slart> Vooloo: have you checked out /etc/defaults/ntpdate and /etc/default/ntp
[20:46] <demetris_> S3 is enable in bios
[20:46] <shcherbak> jymere: google rsa ssh (they are designed to avoid such exploit), and different channel?
[20:47] <tony283> demetris, is that what it means?
[20:47] <wildint> guess the easiest way to move the ecryptfs Private is to move the /home mount to the 2nd drive
[20:47] <demetris_> tony283 what do you mean?
[20:47] <intrader> Anyone, can I make a second laptop a secondary display?
[20:47] <strange> he needs to add the key to his authorized_keys on the computer he wants to run that "fun game" on
[20:47] <tony283> you said something about the s3 in the bios.
[20:47] <Vooloo> Slart: NTPD_OPTS='-g'
[20:48] <demetris_> yes
[20:48] <tony283> demetris, you think this nasty error i ma getting "Uncompression error - System Halted" has something to do with the bios
[20:48] <jymere> shcherbak: i don't understand (i'm french) channel ?
[20:48] <demetris_> but i want to suspend the server and come up to life when a packet is throught the wan
[20:48] <demetris_> lan
[20:48] <Slart> Vooloo: mm.. my servers are listed in /etc/ntp.conf but I'm not sure if that's because I've installed extra ntp stuff
[20:48] <guntbert> !webmin | demetris_
[20:49] <Vooloo> Slart: ntpdate[10274]: no servers can be used, exiting
[20:49] <Vooloo> even if I change servers
[20:49] <Vooloo> :S
[20:49] <demetris_> tony283 maybe a hdd problem?
[20:49] <flax^_> I'm looking for a pdfviewer with a ruler tool, have a floor plan in pdf and would like to measure stuff. Any tips?
[20:49] <shcherbak> wildint: what about "relinking" after mount?
[20:49] <tony283> demetris, are u serious?
[20:49] <tony283> Let me try a new drive
[20:49] <demetris_> checked memory issues?
[20:49] <tuxifier> flax^_: use gimp
[20:49] <tecnico> intrader: you can export a X display like X:1 (your's is X:0) onto the laptop. But that's prob. not what you are trying to do .
[20:49] <theshadow> is there any way to have Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook remix go back to the old/traditional desktop? I mean I'm willing to give this interface a shot but it doesn't feel complete. I can't navigate files or hide/remove the left panel which is starting to bug me.
[20:49] <jymere> nobody ?
[20:49] <quiescens> ntpdate != ntpd
[20:50] <Slart> Vooloo: hmm... not sure what to try then...
[20:50] <Slart> !ntp
[20:50] <shcherbak> jymere: /join "ssh ?
[20:50] <ryanakca> Could someone help me figure out why my desktop is only using the center of my monitor (treating it as if it was 4:3 and leaving great big black bands on the sides)? Happens on both VT[1-7! and X. As odd as it sounds, it changed in the middle of the night, when I went to bed last night it was fine, this morning when I got up, it wasn't.
[20:50] <flax^_> ohh, ofcourse, thanks tuxifier :)
[20:50] <wildint> shcherbak, could you elaborate? I'm not sure what you mean by relinking - right now the problem is I can't find where ecryptfs stores it's mount info
[20:50] <tuxifier> flax^_: np :)
[20:50] <guntbert> jymere: he meant: ask in ##networking (maybe)
[20:50] <jymere> shcherbak, what's for ?
[20:50] <Vooloo> Slart: ah it says config manual
[20:51] <guntbert> !fr | jymere
[20:51] <shcherbak> wildint: one moment
[20:51] <intrader> tecnico, I just find that XChat and firefox on same box is rather crowded; so you say that I can export X display?. can the second laptop see this?
[20:51] <Vooloo> Slart: what message do you get when running sudo ntpdate?
[20:51] <jymere> ubottu: en fait non je veux améliorer mon anglais donc autant que je sois là
[20:51] <Slart> Vooloo: no servers can be used, exiting
[20:51] <AAA_awright> Every time I unplug my laptop the power manager freaks out and sleeps the computer... And more recently with the 10-10 "upgrade" it completely freezes when I restore. Is there any way to disable the power manager?
[20:52] <Vooloo> Slart: ok weird, I'll wait and see if it updates now
[20:52] <guntbert> shcherbak: there is no channel #ssh :-)
[20:52] <phosi> on the ubuntu hardware support page it doesn't list any Touch computers. does that mean ubuntu wont work on it
[20:52] <Slart> Vooloo: I'm not sure if ntpdate reads the ntp.conf file or if it wants the servers listed on the command line
[20:52] <quiescens> clearly someone needs to program ubottu to recognize languages and respond accordingly
[20:52] <quiescens> nodnod
[20:52] <tecnico> intrader: no, this way the laptop would run a new X session.
[20:53] <Vooloo> Slart: well it was on manual config in the settings anyway, so should work now I hope. thanks
[20:53] <Slart> Vooloo: you're welcome
[20:54] <red_> hello =) is there any way to specify which workspace something can open in from the command line
[20:54] <intrader> tecnico, so it is not possible to get the second display visible on second laptop. X Server would need to run on that laptop, and connect to the second X display.
[20:54] <shcherbak> guntbert: my bad
[20:54] <red_> fappy jones haha
[20:54] <wildint> shcherbak, maybe I can just change fstab to /drive2/home /home none bind and relocate home that way
[20:54] <tecnico> intrader: you can ssh from the laptop to your other system using X11 forward (ssh -Y) and on the command line launch Xchat or firefox, etc. And it will open on the latop display
[20:55] <jymere> guntbert: you think i should ask in the forum but it's just to explain me how to proceed. I have the public and private key and the name of the account. I should be able to connect on his account with these informations only no ?
[20:55] <[biabia]> its been 8-12 months since i rebootes, installed any updates. how do i check what my current version is and upgrade to the latest
[20:55] <phosi> on the ubuntu hardware support page it doesn't list any Touch computers. does that mean ubuntu wont work on it?
[20:55] <tecnico> intrader: but it still doesn't give you control of both screens from a single terminal
[20:56] <guntbert> jymere: I suggested you ask in the channel ##networking - this channel is only for ubuntu support
[20:56] <jymere> ok bye
[20:56] <intrader> tecnico, on second laptop I do ssh to first laptop via `ssh -Y` then I can run XChat from terminal and it would display on the second laptop?
[20:56] <sobersabre> hi. is there a way (except wine/virtualization) to connect to a checkpoint vpn from ubuntu ?
[20:57] <tecnico> yes
[20:57] <tecnico> intrader: ^
[20:57] <CaneToad> hmm, linuxtv.org seems down [at least from here]
[20:57] <DasEi> sobersabre: try openvpn
[20:57] <shcherbak> wildint: sort of method,never used. if i get you right you want to move encrypted folders to new drive?
[20:57] <sobersabre> DasEi: do I need anything except IPs, usernames and passwords ?
[20:58] <intrader> tecnico, I am newbie, what is ^?
[20:58] <wildint> shcherbak, yes basically move the auto-mounted ~/.Private to a different drive than the /home
[20:58] <tecnico> intrader: but so if you want to type on Xchat's window you'd have to do it on laptop2's keyboard. And I think you are wanting to control everything from laptop1.. just use laptop2's screen for expanding your desktop...
[20:58] <tecnico> intrader: ^ was a sign to point you to my prev. comment
[20:58] <DasEi> sobersabre: no, but there are different protocols, and different apps for certain platforms, just have to try
[20:58] <wildint> shcherbak, this is the tool https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory
[20:59] <sobersabre> DasEi: ok.
[20:59] <sobersabre> trying now.
[20:59] <intrader> tecnico, precisely, that what I want a second, or third expanded screen
[20:59] <shcherbak> wildint: what would happend (just to test) if you move ~/.Private to ~/test/.Private ?
[21:00] <guntbert> !upgrade | [biabia]
[21:00] <tecnico> intrader: there's not a straightforward way that I know off. The examples I've give you are mainly for cases when you use laptop2 to locally see a window but the window really is running on a faster server like laptop1.
[21:02] <_spm_Draget> I have a ubuntu 10.04.1 based distro here that uses smb:// URIs to access samba stuff. It pretends to the server that it would not be able to handle filenames with : or " which is totaly bogus, since it can. It makes samba (3.4.9) crap out cryptic ugly names. Can be prevented on server side by setting 'mangeld names = no' in the smb.conf. One should check this against the current ubuntu and if he/she can verify it, file a bug on
[21:02] <_spm_Draget> the gnome/gimp/whereever gvfs tracker. I am done for today.
[21:02] <nimbiotics> Volvo: I used GADMIN-SAMBA, added the shares, added the 2 pCs, but again, when I go back to nautilus, the folder is NOT shared. Also, none of the PCs see the other one. Do I have to restart my ubuntu machine? TIA
[21:03] <tecnico> intrader: you may want to ask in #Xorg .  Basically you want two different Xservers to share a display .. but I don't know that it is doable.
[21:03] <intrader> tecnico, thanks - I hope I can find a way to do so, I have several laptops running ubuntu, and I hate to use more that one keyboard. Thanks for your help. I wil ask in Xorg.
[21:03] <nimbiotics> Volvo: also, the information line in GADMIN-SAMBA says: "Status: Activated, inactive servers: nmbd"
[21:04] <WillPittenger> I am having problems getting 10.10 to recognize the VBox guest additions monitor.  Anyone else in the same situation?
[21:04] <fnmueller> thanks for your help guys :-)
[21:05] <Volvo> nimbiotics: The name server, NMBD must be running in order for the other computers to query and see it or for it to assemble browselists. Try to start NMBD manually "sudo su" "nmbd -D"
[21:06] <Volvo> nimbiotics: See to it that the server settings are as your network looks like "ifconfig"
[21:08] <nimbiotics> Volvo: "sudo su nmbd -D" returned 'D' as an invalid option
[21:08] <Zack> i'm attempted to stablize my wireless connection (it barely works, have to restart nm-applet a lot) on my laptop (it is currently wired), and i'm trying to get ndiswrapper working...  when i 'sudo apt-get install ndisgtk' i get a stream of "something wicked happened resolving..." errors.  any suggestions?
[21:08] <[biabia]> guntbert: thanks :)

[21:09] <MichaelS> hey guys, i am searching for a bash tool to move a window with compiz animation?

[21:10] <rooks> how to make gwibber light up mail icon when new tweet comes up? (i follow 2 ppl on twitter so it wont be all on:P )
[21:10] <Volvo> nimbiotics: No, thats just a command to start the nmbd server
[21:11] <rooks> how to make gwibber light up mail icon when new tweet comes up? (i follow 2 ppl on twitter so it wont be all on:P )
[21:12] <guntbert> !repeat | rooks
[21:12] <Volvo> nimbiotics: It can exit without telling why because the allowed hosts and networks etc ipaddresses are wrongly configured.

[21:12] <anfegame> i am trying to make my computer shut down automatically through crontab but not been successfully!
[21:12] <anfegame> can anyone help me
[21:13] <nimbiotics> Volvo: is there any way i could reset everything?
[21:13] <rooks> anfegame, i think you need automatic sudo for crontab or something..
[21:13] <Volvo> nimbiotics: remove samba conf, restart the program.
[21:14] <anfegame> automatic sudo? how do i do or get that?
[21:14] <Volvo> nimbiotics: Should not be required but there are thousands of settings so maybe that can help.
[21:14] <viewer> is there any kind of bandwidth meter available for ubuntu like the one in the system monitor applet, but which keeps records of transfer totals and possibly has stopwatches and the ability to graph the transfer data by days weeks and months?  i know i've been spoiled by DU Meter in windows..
[21:14] <mysticdarkhack> So what going on with extra repository and keep getting key error
[21:15] <[biabia]> so is 10.4.1 lts the most recent version
[21:15] <Runner2_> Wall Street: il denaro non dorme mai
[21:15] <rww> [biabia]: 10.04 is the latest LTS version. 10.10 is the latest normal Ubuntu version
[21:15] <rww> [biabia]: the .1 is just an update rollup with all of the security updates; it isn't a new version ;)
[21:15] <[biabia]> rww which one should i use
[21:15] <anfegame> i am trying to make my computer shut down automatically through crontab but not been successfully!
[21:15] <anfegame> automatic sudo? how do i do or get that?
[21:16] <rww> [biabia]: if you want to upgrade every six months, 10.10. If you want every two years, 10.04.
[21:16] <rww> !lts
[21:16] <DasEi> viewer: take a look at darkstat
[21:16] <[biabia]> oh ok
[21:16] <[biabia]> thanks
[21:17] <anfegame> i am trying to make my computer shut down automatically through crontab but not been successfully!
[21:17] <wildint> shcherbak, figured it out - can't be done without changing the ecrypt scripts, so option2 of moving home is better
[21:17] <littlejoey> !crontab
[21:17] <tony283> I was getting the nasty "Uncompression error - System Halted", i switch the hard drive, I will see if the error keeps showing.
[21:18] <anfegame> i already look through all that, i just can get it to execute after i put the command on cron
[21:18] <anfegame> there most be something i am doing wrong
[21:18] <littlejoey> ic anfegame, so you are running into a sudo problem right?
[21:18] <anfegame> well i dunno really i am editing crontab throug sudo
[21:19] <anfegame> and giving it the parameters but it just doesnt do anything
[21:19] <littlejoey> ic anfegame: I'll see if I can find something for you on the web, hang on (never used crontab personally)
[21:20] <Zack> my laptop will now no longer even connect via wired connection. i've tested the cable with another computer and other computers are connected to the net through the same router/modem wired and wirelessly. how do i troubleshoot this?
[21:20] <anfegame> thank you, if u run into kshutdown it wont work because it has to be put manually!!
[21:20] <DasEi> anfegame: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1531226
[21:21] <DasEi> anfegame: manually it works : sudo shutdown -h 300 (downs in 300 min)

[21:23] <littlejoey> Zack: I knew I hadn't solved your problem before :) there is a bug with your card (or probably the driver), did you check out the links I had shown you before?
[21:23] <anfegame> ok ill try everything u guys gave me , thakn you
[21:23] <Zack> littlejoey - haha thanks. =P i actually lost them in my numerous (very numerous) reboots since then. =[
[21:24] <littlejoey> can you remind me what your card was? Zack:
[21:24] <DasEi> kangarooo: not really a matter, as drive fills upand then the diff from inner/outer  sectors become less
[21:24] <Zack> littlejoey: but my wired has been working for the past 24 hours absolutely perfectly. i don't understand why it won't now. it waas intel PRO/[something] 5100
[21:25] <DasEi> kangarooo: ssd does a fine trick, but costly
[21:25] <cedrict> ipt irc chan
[21:25] <littlejoey> Zack: did you edit some conf file or mess up something? what did you last do before it stopped working?
[21:25] <kangarooo> DasEi: yes. thats why i want not to use whole disk but advanced partitioning putting programm files at iner or outer side whatever is faster..
[21:25] <kangarooo> DasEi: yes SSD ill maybe 2 y later..
[21:26] <Zack> i've tried installing ndiswrapper. i haven't messed with any config files.  i really haven't done much.
[21:26] <DasEi> kangarooo: that won't do much, more important to have it in a contingious block (head moves) and a good ram for less swapiness
[21:27] <Bezerk> Hi dudes!!
[21:27] <kangarooo> DasEi: yes ram i have 1gb it will be ok for my using of FF. so ill not make swap file
[21:27] <littlejoey> Zack: maybe this would help you https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/575492
[21:27] <kangarooo> but how to make contingious block? in settings or installation?
[21:28] <Rommy> hi
[21:28] <Bezerk> How do I check md5 sum for a downloaded file?
[21:28] <DasEi> kangarooo: 1 gig works,but for no swap at all not perfect, I'd use swap on it performancewise
[21:28] <amagee> hey can i stop ubuntu popping up its update manager without me asking for it?  i find it massively annoying.
[21:28] <toxictux> kangarooo, by not filling the fs up to much

[21:29] <Rommy> hi
[21:29] <toxictux> kangarooo, i would allways make a swap you can tune the swapiness instad
[21:29] <DasEi> kangarooo: drives tend to slow down when filled with more than very little data, then there is a situation of almost no alter, until >~90%

[21:29] <mkanyicy> hi Rommy
[21:29] <littlejoey> ubuntu's favorite b-o-t, how do I install a package?
[21:29] <Slart> amagee: you can stop the update-manager from checking and do something with crontab and apt-get instead, I think
[21:29] <littlejoey> sorry guys I was just kidding
[21:29] <DasEi> littlejoey: commandline ?
[21:30] <Slart> amagee: I think there is a setting for how often it should check that.. set that to never and you should be free of it
[21:30] <littlejoey> DasEi: never mind, just kidding with ubottu but thanks
[21:30] <DasEi> littlejoey: don't think I am..
[21:31] <amagee> trism, Slart: nice.. what i'd most like is for it to keep checking as it does, but just create an icon in the system tray when it needs to update, rather than popping up a window straght away (like it used to do).  is there a setting for that?
[21:31] <guntbert> littlejoey: please do so only in PM with her
[21:31] <aricz> amagee: System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications.. you'll find it there..
[21:31] <trism> amagee: the gconf setting will place an icon in the notification area when you have new updates, it just won't automatically launch the update manager
[21:32] <amagee> trism: ah, awesome, thanks.
[21:32] <kangarooo> well ok thx .. toxictux and DasEi ill try someday also speedtesting of different installtions on same hardware computers and ill write about that in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kangarooo/SpeedUpTesting

[21:34] <littlejoey> hi Rommy
[21:34] <slide> Im trying to resize a partition using GParted but it keeps giving me errors, "Unable to satisfy all constraints of the partition"
[21:34] <intrader> Anyone, I have several FAT volumes containing smalltak distributions. I no longer can execute .sh files in these FAT volumes -  used to work (last time they worked Nov. 10 as shown by date of smalltalk image file). So far, I am forced to copy the smalltalk distribution to local folder and then change the permissions for Pharo.sh and squeak. What I need is an automount capability to mount these volumes as executable so that Pharo.sh
[21:34] <intrader>  can open properly.
[21:34] <Zack> littlejoey: i attempted what the person posted as  workaround.  after the first line i was unfamiliar with what appeared in the terminal, but i added the line (to a new document, it said), hit ctr+x and saved it, i believe. i am rebooting.
[21:34] <Rommy> be back later.
[21:35] <Zack> littlejoey: like i said, i have no idea what i could hvae done to render my ethernet useless.
[21:35] <littlejoey> hmm Zack: you should understand what you are doing, some posts are actually not so good for you, so always use man or the internet before using commands

[21:38] <littlejoey> Zack: some info though, I believe that one can connect to a router using N mode and G mode, for some reason when your card tries to use the N mode it doesn't, but when you use G mode it does.
[21:39] <littlejoey> Zack: what the author did was disable connecting using the N mode, don't ask me more, but that's what I understood

[21:40] <ryanakca> Could someone help me figure out why my desktop is only using the center of my monitor (treating it as if it was 4:3 and leaving great big black bands on the sides)? Happens on both VT[1-7! and X. As odd as it sounds, it changed in the middle of the night, when I went to bed last night it was fine, this morning when I got up, it wasn't.
[21:40] <breadcrumb> !list
[21:40] <DasEi> ryanakca: I can try,though no idea in first hand,which g-card?
[21:40] <Rovanion> How do I run an application with another locale?
[21:40] <aeon-ltd> ryanakca: resolution/framebuffer settings changed maybe?, did you update
[21:41] <littlejoey> thanks DasEi :) ok I am leaving... good day/night folks... happy ubuntuing
[21:42] <Jehah> Quick Q: I'm using Linux since like a year (9.10) and I always have problems with the sound and Flash. If the the sound didn't work I end the process "pulseaudio" and the sound works. Also, flash sometimes doesn't play so I need to close the browser and open it again. I'm thinking now to go to 10.04 to solve these problems. Will this be a solution?
[21:43] <DasEi> Jehah: not a quick question,but few longer,which distro are you using ?
[21:43] <Jehah> Ubuntu 9.10
[21:43] <ryanakca> DasEi: nVidia Corporation G73 [GeForce 7600 GS] (rev a1)
[21:43] <Rovanion> Jehah, Ubuntu 10.10 has a new version of Flash that is much better than the predecessors. And all the other packages has been developed as well
[21:44] <aeon-ltd> Jehah: probably, but you should update anyway to get newer repos and packages
[21:44] <ryanakca> aeon-ltd: I did not change them. After I found my monitor screwed, I tried reboot and running an upgrade
[21:44] <DasEi> Jehah: so audio drivers must be set properly, and apart from just flash also need codecs and sometimes additional problems,I haven't had problems since hardy
[21:44] <K350> Any console/textbased (slang?) program to check the bandwith with?
[21:44] <ryanakca> aeon-ltd: hwinfo --monitor gives "Max. Resolution: 640x480".
[21:45] <DasEi> Jehah: if you launch alsamixergui, is your hardware displayed correctly ?
[21:45] <ryanakca> K350: vnstat
[21:45] <ryanakca> !info vnstat
[21:45] <Rovanion> When running sudo apt-get build-dep docky I get the fallowing error: E: Kunde inte öppna filen /var/lib/apt/lists/extras.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_maverick_main_source_Sources - open (2: Filen eller katalogen finns inte) What in the issue and how do I solve it?
[21:45] <Jehah> Thanks. I tried to fix the sound issue previously but did't work. So I thought these problems I thought its part of Linux life.
[21:46] <DasEi> ryanakca: should be no problem to re-install driver and run nvidia-xconfig from without x,then restart gdm
[21:46] <DasEi> Jehah: exotic hardware ? (put nick when answer)
[21:46] <Jehah> DasEi: the command didn't work
[21:46] <aeon-ltd> ryanakca: got cpu drivers?
[21:47] <aeon-ltd> ryanakca: *gpu
[21:47] <seevee> quit
[21:47] <ryanakca> Rovanion: could you rerun apt-get build-dep but prefix the command with 'LANG=C LC_ALL=C' (i.e. sudo LANG=C LC_ALL=C apt-get build-dep blah ) so that the non-germans can understand the error message?
[21:47] <haakonn> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UdevRoadmap -- should this page really use terms such as "bitch"?
[21:47] <DasEi> ryanakca: can you find your card system > hardwaredrivers ?
[21:47] <ryanakca> DasEi: Sorry?
[21:47] <DasEi> Jehah: which command ?
[21:48] <Jehah> DasEi: alsamixergui
[21:48] <Rovanion> ryanakca, Thank you, I was asking about that earlier but since noone awnsered I thought the best way to get an awnser was to send the error in Swedish
[21:48] <ryanakca> aeon-ltd: Yes, I have the nvidia module installed and loaded
[21:48] <DasEi> ryanakca: sudo apt-get install jockey-gtk && jockey-gtk
[21:49] <Rovanion> This is the english version of the error: sudo LANG=C LC_ALL=C apt-get build-dep
[21:49] <Jehah> DasEi: however "alsamixer" works
[21:49] <DasEi> Jehah: sudo apt-get install alsamixergui && alsamixergui
[21:49] <DasEi> ryanakca: your card listed there ?
[21:50] <Thoneve> Is there any good alternative to pulseaudio that works well with ALC888?
[21:51] <ryanakca> DasEi: Yes, it's listing my card as using the most recent nvidia proprietary driver
[21:51] <Rovanion> Thoneve, Pulse is a layer above ALSA which has the drivers. I'm not sure about this but maybe OSS4 has a different driver stack than ALSA and with it Pulse
[21:52] <DasEi> ryanakca: fine; sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.ba
[21:52] <aeon-ltd> ryanakca: try appending the correct 'vga=xxxx' at the kernel bootline in grub(or at boot) to define the fb resolution
[21:52] <Skapare> I don't get this error with ubuntu-10.10-i386, but I do get it with ubuntu-10.10-amd64, on a fresh new install ... W: A error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used. GPG error: http://extras.ubuntu.com maverick Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY DB141E2302FDF932
[21:52] <Rovanion> Oh, I pasted the wrong thing :P  -  This is the error that I get when running sudo apt-get build-dep docky: E: Could not open file /var/lib/apt/lists/extras.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_maverick_main_source_Sources - open (2: No such file or directory)
[21:53] <Skapare> that happens when I do:  apt-get update
[21:53] <ryanakca> aeon-ltd: I have 'uvesafb mode_option=1920x1080-32 mtrr=3 scroll=ywrap' in /etc/modules. The problem is even affecting grub.
[21:53] <Rovanion> Skapare and I seem to have issues of the same sort
[21:53] <Thoneve> Rovanion: Well apparently pulseaudio doesn't work with wine so well?
[21:53] <ryanakca> Rovanion: sudo apt-get update and then try?
[21:53] <DasEi> ryanakca: next steps will log you out of desktop,so maybe note: ALT+F2 to get a commandline, log in , sudo nvidia-xconfig, sudo service gdm restart (or stop then start) , then can use the nvidia-settings from terminal (x-based) again
[21:53] <Skapare> Rovanion: so the ubuntu servers are broken?  I'd been going on for 3 days
[21:53] <Thoneve> Im wondering if there's an alternative?
[21:54] <Skapare> Rovanion: what's funny is it works OK for i386 ... breaks for amd64
[21:54] <DasEi> Jehah:is your hardware listet correctly in alsamixer ?
[21:55] <Rovanion> Thoneve, As far as I know Pulse works great with Wine. But you can always change the way Wine outputs sound in winecfg. So try picking alsa instead of Pulse since you probably already have both installed
[21:55] <Thoneve> I used ubuntu 10.04 install cd...
[21:55] <aeon-ltd> ryanakca: damn, then what about the monitor's own controls - e.g. contrast, rgb/cmyk controllers etc
[21:56] <Rovanion> ryanakca, When running apt-get update I get the same error as Skapare
[21:56] <DasEi> aeon-ltd: nasty neighbours, good hint
[21:56] <Thoneve> It says "Has problems with pulseaudio distros (IE ubuntu)"
[21:56]  * Skapare remembers back in the day when programs to play sound just opened a sound device and wrote bits of sound to it, and it played just fine ... today it's far more complicated ... and when it finally works, it sounds no better
[21:56] <aeon-ltd> DasEi: wut?
[21:57] <DasEi> aeon-ltd: the idea of that center problem just a monitor diadjust
[21:57] <DasEi> s*
[21:57] <ryanakca> aeon-ltd: *cough*. Tad embarassing. Selecting factory reset on my monitor fixed it. What happened to it in the middle of the night, I don't know (nobody could've changed it, it's right by my bed), but that fixed it :)
[21:57] <ryanakca> DasEi: Thanks for your help
[21:57] <aeon-ltd> ryanakca: lol it worked?
[21:57] <DasEi> np, fine
[21:57] <Rovanion> Skapare, Well the issues came when you had two applications writing to the same sound device isn't that correct?
[21:57] <Skapare> ryanakca: FYI I'm running apt-get as root, as I always do, which has worked fine for many past versions
[21:57] <ryanakca> aeon-ltd: lol, yes, tahnks :)
[21:57] <intrader> Anyone, I need to automount  FAT volumes as executable so that I can execute .sh files.
[21:57] <ryanakca> s/ah/ha/
[21:57] <aeon-ltd> ryanakca: your welcome (even though it was just a guess from looking at my own monitor :) )
[21:58] <Skapare> Rovanion: which I rarely do, or want ... but having 2 or more doing so should not be that hard to do
[21:58] <Jehah> DasEi: I have conexant but not sure about the model and alsamixer says Conexant CX20594
[21:59] <Rovanion> Skapare, I tend to have three applications using the sound-system at points. Playing a sweet little game with my friends talking over mumble with some music in the background.
[21:59] <Skapare> Rovanion: what bugs me about it is that some people take what should otherwise be a simple problem, and create some of the most complicated "solutions"
[21:59] <DasEi> Jehah: that looks good then, so it won't be the driver (alsa)
[22:00] <cozzen> how do I make hidden files on a DVD available?
[22:00] <DasEi> Jehah: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[22:00] <Rovanion> Skapare, To state that the Linux sound-architecture or whatever you can call the mess anything else but a clusterfuck would be an understatement
[22:00] <K350> ryanakca: Thanks a lot. Really appruciated!:-)
[22:00] <cozzen> I'm trying to install starcraft 2, but it seems some files won't show up
[22:00] <Skapare> Rovanion: a simple basic sound server that takes connections with some kind of optional authentication ... then mixes them as desired
[22:00] <cozzen> when I mount the dvd
[22:01] <DasEi> intrader: fstaboptions user,auto,exec
[22:01] <Skapare> Rovanion: I'd be willing to program my own solution if the sound apps would use it
[22:01] <Thoneve> cozzen: Check the wow winedb page, gives you a mount command
[22:01] <ryanakca> K350: pleasure :)
[22:01] <ogre> I just have a quick question, Any reason the 32 bit version of ubuntu is recommended? I'd love to get an x64 os but need it to run without any hiccups. Thanks in advance :)
[22:01] <DasEi> intrader: though fat doesn't provide it anyway, it's more filewise then
[22:01] <Diverdude> I have this TV tuner card in my ubuntu server: http://www.ivmm.com/innodv/products/smartcapture.htm   Is there any chance that this will ever be working in ubuntu?
[22:01] <Skapare> Rovanion: but I know what would happen ... I'd put all that work into it, and only a handful of apps will use it
[22:02] <cozzen> Thoneve: ok thanks
[22:02] <Rovanion> Your experience with Linux seems to surpass mine by miles and miles. My first distribution was Fedora 8 and I've hardly been programming for more than two years
[22:02] <DasEi> ogre: not really no more, 64 is fine, just very,very few exotics only available in 32, and even that can be overcome
[22:03] <Tronny> hi
[22:03] <Rovanion> Anyhow, does anyone know when the extras repository will be up again?
[22:04] <Diverdude> I have this TV tuner card in my ubuntu server: http://www.ivmm.com/innodv/products/smartcapture.htm   Is there any chance that this will ever be working in ubuntu?
[22:04] <Thoneve> Rovanion: Its down?
[22:04] <ogre> DasEi, Thanks, I figured it was an issue with flash. looked kinda wonky on past x64 releases
[22:04] <DasEi> Rovanion: i just updated, no complains (30 min ago)
[22:04] <WillPittenger> I am having problems getting 10.10 to recognize the VBox guest additions monitor.  Anyone else in the same situation?
[22:04] <Skapare> anyway ... I think I'm going to copy /etc/apt/trustdb.gpg from the i386 system (my netbook) to the amd64 system (my new desktop) and see if that makes a difference (these 2 files ARE different according to md5sum)
[22:04] <DasEi> ogre: longer time ago, fixed
[22:04] <Rovanion> Thoneve, Something is wonky with it, because both my and Skapares apt are complaining about it's availability
[22:05] <cozzen> Thoneve: ye found it, cheers mate
[22:05] <Jehah> DasEi: for my knowledge, Do "update" and "upgrade" do the same as the "Update Manager"?
[22:05] <Thoneve> cozzen: No problem
[22:05] <Thoneve> Rovanion: Lemme try...
[22:05] <hihihi100> i need help regarding ext3 and ext 4
[22:05] <Skapare> I started installing onto the new desktop on Monday evening ... apt-get update first gave me that error message then
[22:05] <hihihi100> i have 2 external 500 GB HD, one in EXT3, the other in EXT4
[22:05] <ogre> DasEi,  thanks alot. you have been very helpful sir. :)
[22:06] <hihihi100> both have exactly the same data
[22:06] <DasEi> Jehah: the manager unites both commands, update does packages, upgrade also kernelreleases
[22:06] <hihihi100> same number of files
[22:06] <Rovanion> I have had issues since thuesday when I installed my system.
[22:06] <Diverdude> any1?
[22:06] <Thoneve> Works for me
[22:06] <hihihi100> same number of items
[22:06] <hihihi100> but ext3 shows 125 mb of free space, while the Ext4 SHOWS 3.4 gb
[22:06] <DasEi> Diverdude: just google ubuntu + tvcardmodel ?
[22:07] <hihihi100> NOW, IF THE DATA IS EXACTL THE SAME, y the free memory difference?
[22:07] <DasEi> Rovanion: try another location then
[22:07] <Diverdude> DasEi, it does not realy give me much
[22:07] <Rovanion> Yes both me and Skapare should be on the Swedish repos, I suspect
[22:07] <DasEi> Diverdude: model again ?
[22:07] <Rovanion> DasEi, To whom do I report this issue so that it can get fixed?
[22:08] <Jehah> DasEi: Thanks. At the end of executing "upgrade" and "ubuntu-ristrected-extras" I got this line "ldconfig deferred processing now taking place"
[22:08] <intrader> Anyone, I need to automount  FAT volumes as executable so that I can execute .sh files. I have found https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/1253, but don't know where fstab file is and what my USB device is.
[22:09] <DasEi> Rovanion: can see in sources.list, which you are using, simply comment out and try another mirror, also try to ping it
[22:09] <Skapare> Rovanion: but, I'm not in Sweden
[22:09] <DasEi> !mirrors
[22:09] <VCoolio> intrader: /etc/fstab and 'sudo blkid' or 'sudo fdisk -l'
[22:09] <Dazza71> hi can anyone help me with getting my printer to work
[22:09] <DasEi> Rovanion: in the wiki there sure is a link for maintenance-request
[22:10] <Rovanion> No, the issue still persists after switching to the main from swedish repos I still can't get the extra amd64 repo
[22:10] <DasEi> Jehah: usual message, try youtube again
[22:11] <Tronny> hi
[22:11] <intrader> VCoolio, thanks, it looks like the command I need in fstab is '/dev/sdb1 /home/intrader/windata vfat auto,users,rw,umask=000,dmask=000,fmask=000 0 0'
[22:11] <DasEi> Rovanion: deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner , or whichever distro you use, which is it ?
[22:12] <VCoolio> intrader: that looks ok, the options I don't know about but the syntax is allright
[22:12] <Jehah> DasEi: video plays, sound no.
[22:12] <Skapare> OK, I just got /etc/apt/trustdb.gpg copied from my netbook (ubuntu-10.10-i386) to my new desktop (ubuntu-10.10-amd64)
[22:13] <Rovanion> DasEi, Maverick it is. Should I add that to my sources?
[22:13] <Skapare> nope ... that did NOT fix the issue
[22:13] <VCoolio> intrader: better use a label for your usb as sdb1 can change if you use another device or something; label is always the same
[22:13] <VCoolio> intrader: LABEL=blah /home/intrader/windata etcetera
[22:13] <DasEi> Rovanion: yes, change lucid by maverick
[22:13] <Diverdude> DasEi, http://www.ivmm.com/innodv/products/smartcapture.htm
[22:13] <Skapare> anyone know where the relevant PUBKEY is supposed to be located for this error message from "apt-get update" ...
[22:13] <Skapare> W: A error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used. GPG error: http://extras.ubuntu.com maverick Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY DB141E2302FDF932
[22:14] <intrader> VCoolio, I copied from 'https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/1253'. Still don't know whether I can execute .sh files. I need to make the FAT executable
[22:15] <Dazza71> hi can anyone help me with getting my printer to work
[22:15] <intrader> VCoolio, I don't quite get the LABEL deal
[22:15] <Thoneve> Skapare: sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys DB141E2302FDF932
[22:16] <DasEi> Jehah: was this  an upgrade or fresh install ?
[22:16] <Skapare> Thoneve: what did that do?
[22:16] <VCoolio> intrader: you can set a label for disks/devices/partitions using gparted; it's harmless, just a name you give it; then in fstab you can identify the usb device with the label, instead of sdb1 because that can change and the label not
[22:16] <Thoneve> Try updating your repos noe
[22:16] <Thoneve> Now*
[22:16] <Thoneve> Should fix the key error.
[22:17] <Jehah> DasEi: I installed first 9.04 then upgraded to 9.10
[22:17] <Rovanion> Thoneve, Yes that solved my identical issue too
[22:17] <Jab1> hey
[22:17] <Thoneve> Rovanion: A simple google search found that answer...
[22:18] <Skapare> Thoneve: that indeed seems to have solved it ... any idea why it's broken?  something wrong in the install ISO?
[22:18] <Rovanion> Thoneve, So where do I report that this key is missing with all new amd64 installs?
[22:18] <Thoneve> Rovanion: No clue I just googled xD
[22:18] <Thoneve> Skapare: I would assume so.
[22:18] <DasEi> Jehah: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578 , part A (remove old config)
[22:18] <intrader> VCoolio, ah, my problem is labels for the sticks are all different - only one is SAVES, others have other names. What is more constant is the drive in my case
[22:18] <Skapare> Rovanion: is it "all" or just for people associated with Sweden?
[22:19] <Rovanion> Skapare, It is associated to all
[22:19] <Skapare> ok, OK
[22:19] <Rovanion> Me changing servers did not change the fact that I was missing the pubkey for the repository
[22:19] <Skapare> then I should add this fix to be "steps to modify ubuntu after it is installed" script collection, specific to 10.10-amd64
[22:19] <Skapare> to my ...
[22:20] <Rovanion> I'm going to file a bugreport on launchpad. Let's see how many years it takes to get a response this time...
[22:20] <Skapare> Rovanion: 3.5
[22:20] <Thoneve> Rovanion: Maybe by the time windows is fast.
[22:20] <Rovanion> My favourite version number right there
[22:20] <VCoolio> intrader: i get it; seems adding a line in fstab for any usb device that goes to sdb1 is more a workaround than usual solution; read about udev rules and see if that gets you anywhere
[22:21] <DasEi> Diverdude: still no exact model given, re check and then look at : http://www.ivmm.com/innoax/support/download.htm
[22:22] <VCoolio> intrader: I mean, what if an external hdd with ntfs or ext4 is connected and goes to sdb1; that would then fail because it's not fat
[22:22] <intrader> VCoolio, what is udev - I see some UUID entries in fstab?
[22:22] <Rovanion> Or, I'll just mail the bugsquads mailing list because it seems like they've tightened up the reporting procedures on launchpad
[22:22] <VCoolio> intrader: uuid is not the same, it's also way to identify stuff
[22:22] <Dazza71> any one help me get my brother printer to work ?
[22:22] <DasEi> VCoolio: , intrader : could use autofs for it, or uuid in fstab
[22:22] <WillPittenger> I am having problems getting 10.10 (as a VBox guest) to recognize the VBox guest additions monitor.  Someone in #vbox is helping me, but needs to know where Ubuntu puts Grub's menu.lst.
[22:23] <DasEi> WillPittenger: I come over
[22:23] <VCoolio> DasEi: he wants several usb sticks to be mounted with executable permissions, and is using fstab for that with a line starting with /dev/sdb1
[22:23] <Thoneve> Where does ubuntu put grubs menu.lst DasEi
[22:23] <Skapare> Rovanion: I was turned off reporting bugs to developer groups years ago when I found a major bug in a glibc function, reported it, and it took them 5 versions of glibc to get it fixed
[22:24] <joaopinto> WillPittenger, Ubuntu 1.10 uses grub2, it don't touch on menu.lust on grub2
[22:24] <intrader> VCoolio, so how to I always connect USB # 1 as FAT? What is autofs, wow this is beyond my knowledge!
[22:24] <joaopinto> !grub2 | WillPittenger
[22:24] <Skapare> Rovanion: for my own FOSS projects, I just take bug reports by email :)
[22:24] <VCoolio> intrader: to always connect usb 1 as FAT your way is fine; I'm just asking myself if that is the right way to accomplish what you need
[22:24] <Skapare> Rovanion: one of which, BTW, is in Ubuntu
[22:24] <Rovanion> Skapare, There is absolutely a huge difference between project and project
[22:25] <Juozapas> hi
[22:25] <VCoolio> intrader: but just do that, it's easy and if it suits your needs then fine
[22:25] <Juozapas> whats wrong with gmail-notifier ? it doesnt work anymore
[22:25] <DasEi> VCoolio: then better use uuids and/or autofs there
[22:25] <Rovanion> Skapare, Aha, care to tell more?
[22:25] <Skapare> Rovanion: true ... but it's when they go to formal processes that things seem to get lost
[22:26] <Skapare> Rovanion: libvrb0
[22:26] <VCoolio> intrader: like DasEi says, add a line for every stick you have using it's uuid, you can get that by plugging in and running 'sudo blkid' then in fstab UUID=number etcetera
[22:26] <intrader> VCoolio, my problem started after Nov 10. I have a bunch of FAT volumes in sticks with various version of smalltalk. They all worked by doubleclic on Pharo.sh. Now it no longer works.
[22:27] <Seppoz> how do i get the dev libs for at-spi package?
[22:27] <VCoolio> intrader: what does it do if you double click? fail? or do something unexpected?
[22:28] <Rovanion> Skapare, Well thank you. I might just use that library at some point wwhen I'm fiddling around my fancy GUIs thinking how great those applications are. Are you main or one of the developers, or do you maintain the package for Ubuntu?
[22:29] <intrader> VCoolio, the way it used to work was: I stuck the FAT volume in USB, automatically the folder opens. I navigate to the Pharo.sh file. Doubleclic on it would bring up dialog asking me if it ok to execute the .sh file.
[22:29] <Skapare> Rovanion: I just wrote the original package years ago ... I don't have anything to do with the distribution packaging of it (I think it's in Debian, too)
[22:30] <intrader> VCoolio, it opens Open Office
[22:30] <Rovanion> Skapare, Since that's the route packages normally take into Ubuntu I would suspect that it's in Debian too. How long ago was it that you wrote it?
[22:30] <robin0800> Dazza71: what model number?
[22:31] <Skapare> Rovanion: read about some of my other development ... skapare.blogspot.com
[22:31] <Dazza71> dcp-120c
[22:32] <Rovanion> But you're not from Sweden Skapare? How come you choose that name?
[22:32] <VCoolio> intrader: in nautilus (your filemanager), check in the right click > properties > permissions tab if the .sh file is executable; if it is, check the settings in edit > preferences (I think behavior tab, not sure) for what to do with executable files
[22:33] <Skapare> Rovanion: I was playing a Sweden based MUD game a couple decades ago when I was discussing character name change ... that was one of the suggestions ... I liked it because it reflected my desired to be creative in whatever I develop
[22:33] <VCoolio> intrader: also right click any .sh file > properties > open with > set it to a useful editor, opening .sh files with oo is ridiculous
[22:34] <Skapare> Rovanion: I also adopted Skaperen as a nick a few years later (e.g. I have 2 of them) because my ancestry is partially Norwegian
[22:34] <intrader> VCoolio, I made mistake in the context menu for Pharo.sh - it opens now with 'cautios-launcher'. now it brings up an error dialog saying that I need the 'executable bit'. I am not able to set the executable bit in FAT volumes anymore!
[22:35] <Skapare> Rovanion: then they made a TV show ... in my honor? (doubtful)
[22:35] <DasEi> intrader: try sudo chmod +x your.sh
[22:35] <Jehah> DasEi: part A step 5 didn't work. I got the error message so I executed "pulseaudio & pavucontrol" but got another error: E: socket-server.c: bind(): Address already in use
[22:35] <Jehah> E: module.c: Failed to load  module "module-esound-protocol-unix" (argument: ""): initialization failed.
[22:35] <Jehah> E: main.c: Module load failed.
[22:35] <Jehah> E: main.c: Failed to initialize daemon.
[22:35] <Jehah> [1]+  Exit 1                  pulseaudio
[22:35] <FloodBot1> Jehah: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:36] <Rovanion> Skapare, That's really cool. I've myself never played a MUD but decided upon my name when I was to create my first World of Warcraft character. I opened up my LotR and looked on the map until I found Rhovanion, a name which I modified (accidentally?) and it has grown on me since.
[22:36] <ZykoticK9> DasEi, as intrader pointed out - if it's on a FAT volume, i'm not sure the execute bit will be supported
[22:36] <intrader> VCoolio, I know it is ridiculous. It used to work ok. `sudo chmod +x Pharo.sh` does nothing.
[22:36] <Skapare> Rovanion: names do that
[22:36] <ZykoticK9> intrader, from cli you could use "sh Pharo.sh"
[22:37] <robin0800> Dazza71: has brother got linux drivers?
[22:37] <VCoolio> intrader: what if you add exec to options list in fstab for the stick, then remount?
[22:38] <DasEi> Jehah: pavucontrol is installed ? then sudo service pulseaudio restart
[22:38] <ZykoticK9> intrader, sorry that would need to be "sh ./Pharo.sh" probably
[22:38] <Dazza71> well got what i hoped was the driver files downloaded but the deb files gave me "i386" error and rpm didn't do much either
[22:38] <Skapare> I have a script which lists all the packages I add on to 10.10 after I install it, and I inserted the pubkey fix right before it does apt-get update
[22:38] <DasEi> intrader: ./your.sh
[22:38] <Diverdude> DasEi, Hmm what is this link you gave me?
[22:38] <intrader> ZykoticK9, DasEI, VCoolio, unfortunately, it looks like I need to fstab with executable bit. All combinations of executing the .sh file fail now (since Nov 10)
[22:39] <DasEi> Diverdude: a manufacturers side with also linux-drivers from innovision
[22:39] <Rovanion> Skapare, Shall we continue in a Private chat not to bother #ubuntu too much?
[22:39] <robin0800> Dazza71: you need .deb for ubuntu
[22:39] <Jehah> DasEi: got " * PulseAudio configured for per-user sessions
[22:39] <Jehah> "
[22:39] <DasEi> intrader: maybe it fails cause fail wants to write to protected area, try prefix sudo
[22:39] <Dazza71> yes but i get the "i386" error when i try and install it
[22:39] <Skapare> Rovanion: if you have a desired to, otherwise I'm going to idle/AFK and work on the new box
[22:39] <Diverdude> DasEi, Hmm yeah ok...i dont see my card...its a InnoDV SmartTV-DX
[22:40] <intrader> VCoolio, what would the fstab change look like?
[22:40] <DasEi> Diverdude: should have a model number, already just tried tvtime on it ? ( brand is unknown to me)
[22:40] <hiexpo> first sudo chmod a+x /path/to/sh.script
[22:40] <robin0800> Dazza71: let me check
[22:40] <intrader> DasEi, I have tried that, no luck - wants permissions.
[22:40] <VCoolio> intrader: add exec like: users,rw,umask=000,dmask=000,fmask=000,exec
[22:40] <Dazza71> ok thanks
[22:41] <Diverdude> DasEi, tvtime?
[22:41] <Diverdude> DasEi, ahh here it is : http://www.inno3d.com/products/multimedia/smarttv_dx.htm
[22:41] <VCoolio> intrader: but it's a bit desperate, as dmask-000 implies that, but I'm out of ideas now
[22:41] <DasEi> Diverdude: a tv app, just install and see if card gets found
[22:41] <Diverdude> DasEi, it runs on ubuntu server edition ?
[22:42] <DasEi> Diverdude: the app yes, idk your card
[22:42] <Diverdude> DasEi, idk? What do you mean?
[22:42] <intrader> VCoolio, would you mind mocking the fstab in pastebin?
[22:42] <DasEi> Diverdude: short for I don't know
[22:42] <KruyKaze> hello eveyone , my laptop keeps crashing under 10.10 but works fine with 10.04 64bit
[22:43] <Diverdude> DasEi, hmm right okay....So i can install tvtime on ubuntu server 10.10 terminal only from repos?
[22:43] <Dazza71> robin0800 i get this error message
[22:43] <Dazza71> Error: Wrong architecture 'i386'
[22:43] <rahduke> hey how can i set my IP to be static? I'm totally blanking right now
[22:43] <DasEi> Diverdude: terminal only for tv ? what will that be ?
[22:43] <VCoolio> intrader: ? it's just one addition to the line you pasted above: /dev/sdb1 /home/intrader/windata vfat users,rw,umask=000,dmask=000,fmask=000 0 0
[22:43] <KruyKaze> rahduke, connections manager > edit connections
[22:44] <Diverdude> DasEi, Basically i dont want to watch the TV on my server...just make it able to stream the signal
[22:44] <DasEi> rahduke: /etc/network/interfaces
[22:44] <Risingsun247314> could someonehelp me with a U3 partitioning isue
[22:44] <ZykoticK9> rahduke, using nm-applet is probably preferred over manually editing /etc/network/interfaces (easier)
[22:44] <robin0800> Dazza71: are you running 64bits?
[22:44] <DasEi> Diverdude: first got to make sure, chip is supported or get a module for it
[22:44] <Dazza71> how do i find out ?
[22:44] <KruyKaze> can someone tell me how to prevent my laptop from crashing under 10.10?
[22:45] <DasEi> Diverdude: also could verify by the chip
[22:45] <Dazza71> if i am
[22:45] <Diverdude> DasEi, right, and how is that done?
[22:45] <ZykoticK9> Dazza71, if you want to know if you are running 64bit OS - use "uname -m"
[22:45] <Diverdude> DasEi, by installing tvtime in the terminal?
[22:45] <DasEi> Diverdude: by searching linux+chip ..
[22:45] <Dazza71> in terminal ?
[22:46] <ZykoticK9> Dazza71, yup
[22:46] <Dazza71> x86_64
[22:46] <Dazza71> but my pc isn't 64 bit
[22:46] <Dazza71> confused ?
[22:47] <ZykoticK9> Dazza71, if you want to install a 32bit DEB on 64bit Ubuntu you can use "$ sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture ./Package.deb"
[22:47] <Diverdude> DasEi, The chip being?
[22:48] <bobby_>  need help i delete the panel one the bottom how do i get it back? when i minize stuff i don't know where it goes....
[22:48] <Dr_Willis> !resetpanels | bobby_
[22:48] <VCoolio> !details | KruyKaze
[22:48] <Dr_Willis> bobby_:  right click on panel, add to panel, one of the applets is called 'window list' or somthing.. or reset tjhe panels likle the bot said.
[22:49] <zetyl> hi there
[22:49] <DasEi> Diverdude: if you want to verify a tv's card support, try within a box with x. to get the signalchip, view the card ( or a detailed manual)
[22:49] <Dazza71>  sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture ./Package.deb
[22:49] <Dazza71> sorry
[22:49] <Dazza71> dpkg: error processing ./Package.deb (--install):
[22:49] <Dazza71>  cannot access archive: No such file or directory
[22:49] <Dazza71> Errors were encountered while processing:

[22:49] <FloodBot1> Dazza71: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:49] <Dazza71> ok sorry
[22:49] <KruyKaze> VCoolio, i upgraded to 10.10 from 10.04 and my laptop started crashing randomely
[22:49] <ZykoticK9> Dazza71, replace "Package.deb" with the actual name of your DEB file
[22:49] <Dr_Willis> Dazza71:  i dont think you need the ./package.deb   just 'package.deb' would work  (with the proper name)
[22:49] <zetyl> hello there
[22:49] <Diverdude> DasEi, eith x? You mean X-window?
[22:50] <Diverdude> eith=with
[22:50] <DasEi> Diverdude: yes
[22:50] <KruyKaze> usually when the'eres a video playing
[22:50] <KruyKaze> vlc or totem or youtube
[22:50] <zetyl> i got 5 domain name i want to host data on my personel server per domain
[22:50] <DasEi> Diverdude: your initial question was if that card works with ubuntu/linux
[22:50] <zetyl> what i have to do ?
[22:50] <KruyKaze> the same sound gets repeated 3 times then a freeze and i have to force shutdown
[22:50] <VCoolio> KruyKaze: define crash: black? reboot? screen freeze? correct video driver installed?
[22:50] <robin0800> Dazza71: you need to cd to your deb download folder first
[22:50] <Diverdude> DasEi, yeah
[22:51] <Dazza71> ok
[22:51] <Dr_Willis> zetyl:  was there an actual ubuntu support question? or did i miss it?
[22:51] <KruyKaze> VCoolio, screen freeze
[22:51] <DasEi> Diverdude: will be harder to discover terminal only
[22:51] <bobby_> ok i did now the one on topis gone..
[22:51] <Dazza71> i have clpr or cupswrapper file
[22:51] <zetyl> yes sorry

[22:51] <KruyKaze> VCoolio, checking driver now
[22:51] <Hellz_Bellz> WHY GOD WHY
[22:51] <DasEi> Diverdude: will have to go by the used chip then
[22:51] <asus> Hi all! I stand up with the problem: does anybody tries to hook Flash application (movie) ?
[22:51] <bobby_> nevermind Thanks a bunch!!!!
[22:51] <rahduke> anyone know how I can start sabnzbdplus on boot without it launching one of my webbrowsers? Everytime I boot it launches Chromium
[22:51] <zetyl> what packag i have to do ? to be able give that facility ?
[22:51] <robin0800> Dazza71: clpr deb first
[22:52] <KruyKaze> VCoolio, driver was not activated will do that right away and test again
[22:52] <Diverdude> DasEi, hmm okay isee,..so need x-window ubuntu box with tvtime to so if it is suported
[22:52] <icedearth> zetyl you want five differeent websites use apache and vhost for each domain

[22:52] <number9> hey all I can't boot my laptop... the only thing that shows is this error:"GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0)" in the bug reports it seems like people only get it sometimes and it doesn't prevent gdm from loading but not for me, I can't get it to boot at all, and get droped to an init shell.... any ideas?
[22:53] <asus> or is it any way to control Flash app remotly from another app?
[22:53] <DasEi> Diverdude: or search vdr-sites by your chip, also hardwarelists
[22:53] <Diverdude> DasEi, hmm yes ok...problem is just i have no idea what chip it is
[22:53] <zetyl> i simply want to host 5 different website using my personnel pc which is runing on ubuntu
[22:53] <ZykoticK9> number9, user 0 is the root user account - if that's missing, there is certainly a problem!

[22:56] <Diverdude> DasEi, There is a picture of the card here: http://www.inno3d.com/products/multimedia/smarttv_dx.htm   That big black plate to the right... i suppose it is this chip? There are several chips. But on this one it says conexant
[22:56] <Dr_Willis> Hellz_Bellz:  check your sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ files. there could be some wweird typo in one of them. Or the server could be having some issues
[22:56] <supreme> hi i have a very weird problem, cannot share a folder in my home network
[22:56] <zetyl> i never used apache before can you install for me ?
[22:57] <supreme> i got Operation not Permitted

[22:58] <Hellz_Bellz> zetyl: "sudo apt-get install apache2"
[22:58] <_di> which version of python have ubuntu server by default?
[22:58] <DasEi> Diverdude: yes the big one,looks like a saa or such, search by on-printed number or look up in technical data, sometimes coming with it
[22:58] <zetyl> just only apache2 is enough ?
[22:59] <zetyl> mysql, php ?
[22:59] <LukaszTarkowski> Someone please help me change my password
[22:59] <DasEi> Jehah: then retried last failed step ?
[22:59] <Diverdude> DasEi, aha i think it might be this one: http://www.conexant.com/products/entry.jsp?id=107
[22:59] <LukaszTarkowski> On Irc networks
[22:59] <ZykoticK9> Jehah, if you want to restart Pulse you might be able to use "killall -9 pulseaudio" then try "start-pulseaudio-x11"
[22:59] <Dazza71> robin0800 help
[22:59] <DasEi> LukaszTarkowski: ask in #freenode
[22:59] <LukaszTarkowski> ok thanks

[23:00] <Dr_Willis> d-eee:  most of the time the archive manager can access the first file and figure out its a multi part archive and is smart enough to unarchiver them all.
[23:00] <zetyl> tab competition ?
[23:00] <Hellz_Bellz> press tab twice to list everything beginning with what you type
[23:00] <Dr_Willis> d-eee:  at least tahts how Rar works.. i cant recall seeing multipart zip archives in years...

[23:01] <zetyl> is there any freelancer ihere ?
[23:01] <Dazza71> i must of got the last bit wrong
[23:01] <Jehah> DasEi: Yes, and got the same error http://paste.ubuntu.com/536469/
[23:02] <Dazza71> you said sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture ./Package.deb
[23:02] <Dazza71> and where package.deb put in file name this is where i am going wrong
[23:02] <DasEi> Diverdude: seems supported : http://linux.bytesex.org/v4l2/cx88.html
[23:02] <Dazza71> mfc210clpr-1.0.2-1.i386.deb do i need all of this in the terminal window
[23:02] <robin0800> Dazza71: but your learning
[23:03] <robin0800> Dazza71: yes
[23:03] <ZykoticK9> Dazza71, you might need to install the 32bit library compatibility for 64bit OS too -- it's called ia32-libs

[23:05] <tony78392> I am trying to get soudn out of my soudn card "Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio", any ideas how to configure this properly?
[23:05] <XuMuK> zetyl: what project is that?
[23:05] <robin0800> Dazza71: that means your in the wrong directory it can't find the file
[23:05] <zetyl> this is simple and small project
[23:05] <DasEi> Diverdude: serious hints to get it working
[23:06] <zetyl> just want to install webserver
[23:06] <ZykoticK9> !intelhda | tony78392
[23:06] <d-eee> Dr_Willis: thanks for the input
[23:06] <zetyl> on my personnel pc
[23:06] <DasEi> !sound | tony78392
[23:06] <rww> !lamp | zetyl
[23:06] <zetyl> as i got five domain name you see
[23:06] <Diverdude> DasEi, huh?
[23:06] <tony78392> ubottu, I see the driver loaded into lsmod
[23:06] <tony78392> but its weird that sounfd is not being output from the speakers
[23:06] <DasEi> tony78392: first check it's unmuted
[23:06] <Dazza71> if i type dir i can see the file so i must be in the right place ?
[23:07] <d-eee> Dr_Willis: but rar works fine, but in this case archive manager does not help.  and it is the first time I have seen z01 and not zip.001
[23:07] <zetyl> i want that each domain name point out to my personnel server to display corresponding pages
[23:07] <DasEi> Diverdude: answers yor question , nor ?
[23:07] <robin0800> Dazza71: so you typed it wrong?
[23:07] <tony78392> ubottu, positive not mute
[23:07] <XuMuK> zetyl: and what should do the freelancer there? do you know, that outsoursing contracts are at least for 1 year?
[23:07] <Dr_Willis> d-eee:  you could cheat and try winrar.exe via wine :)
[23:07] <zetyl> as i m not an expert of apache i want to outsouce i t
[23:07] <Dazza71> copied and pasted
[23:07] <Diverdude> DasEi, hmm well am still a bit unsure how to get this guy working on my ubuntu server
[23:07] <DasEi> tony78392: ubott.  is channel ro-bot
[23:08] <rww> zetyl: This channel is for Ubuntu technical support, not for finding people to do work for you.
[23:08] <Dr_Willis> d-eee:  or 'cat' all the parts to one big zip and see if you can extract them.
[23:08] <ZykoticK9> d-eee, no idea if it will work, but you could try "cat file1.zip file2.zip > NEWFILE.zip"
[23:08] <tony78392> DaSei, I check that
[23:08] <vic20gmr> banker247, im still here if you still want me to do those commands
[23:08] <DasEi> !brain > tony78392
[23:08] <Dazza71> is the "$" important
[23:08] <XuMuK> zetyl: write me in PM
[23:08] <zetyl> yes i know i can pay 1$ per month during one year of contract
[23:08] <ZykoticK9> Dazza71, the $ is only the prompt
[23:08] <zetyl> do you  agree for that ? :)
[23:08] <tony78392> Dasei, I am clueless why sound is not being outputted.
[23:08] <[steeve]> hello
[23:09] <XuMuK> of course not
[23:09] <tony78392> I check in the kernel module and its loaded
[23:09] <Dazza71> but does that go before the sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture  etc etc
[23:09] <zetyl> loooooooooollllll
[23:09] <robin0800> ZykoticK9: talk to Dazza71 re your dpkg command many thanks
[23:09] <DasEi> Diverdude: it was about if card is supported, now next questions come, you will have to look up vdr-stuff, I never tried any tv-stuff headless
[23:09] <ZykoticK9> Dazza71, no - you should see that by default
[23:09] <d-eee> ZykoticK9:  hmm, let me try that
[23:10] <DasEi> tony78392: sudo apt-get install alsamixergui
[23:10] <Dazza71> ok
[23:10] <[steeve]> I've created a pam module which call a function in an other .c file but the call to this function always fail. do you know why ? (PS : the function works in a normal program)
[23:10] <DasEi> tony78392:  alsamixergui

[23:12] <DasEi> tony78392: gui up ? your chip mentioned ?  all channels have green speaker icon above the faders ?
[23:12] <ZykoticK9> Dazza71, you need to "cd" into the directory with the DEB

[23:13] <Agent001> If some drivers don't work on ubuntu, can I run virtual box and simulate windows os and run the drivers there?
[23:13] <ZykoticK9> Dazza71, try "sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture mfc210clpr-1.0.2-1.i386.deb"
[23:13] <DasEi> tony78392: try with pulse audio down
[23:13] <DasEi> tony78392: close gui
[23:13] <DasEi> tony78392: sudo service pulseaudio stop
[23:14] <ZykoticK9> DasEi, above won't work
[23:14] <Dazza71> trying now
[23:14] <DasEi> tony78392: /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart
[23:14] <ZykoticK9> Dasda, will give "per user" error
[23:14] <ZykoticK9> DasEi, ^
[23:14] <tony78392> Dasie, I am getting "PulseAudio configured for per-user sessions "
[23:14] <isset> #php
[23:14] <Dr_Willis> Agent001:   depends on the device..
[23:15] <tony78392> Dasei, I don't have alsa-utils
[23:15] <isset> I am using ubuntu I compiled php myself and placed the php.ini where it belongs but in php-cli I don't see any errors?
[23:15] <isset> why?
[23:15] <Dazza71> do i now do same with cupswrapper file ?
[23:16] <Agent001> Hm, that doesn't give me much advice.. But I'm trying to say that I need to run a graphical application but somehow ubuntu doesn't let me detect it's video driver
[23:16] <zetheroo1> I am still having to unlock my keyring 3 times on each fresh boot into Ubuntu ... how can I fix this?
[23:16] <robin0800> Dazza71: yes
[23:16] <Jehah> DasEi: Just restarted and now could open Volume Control. However, there are no input devices and there is only one output device named "Dummy Output"
[23:16] <Dazza71> ok then try and install the printer now
[23:16] <DasEi> tony78392: so select alsa instead of pulse under system, preferences
[23:17] <Dazza71> ?
[23:17] <tony78392> Dasei, no alsa available under preferences > sound
[23:18] <ZykoticK9> Dazza71, if (or more likely when) the printer install fails - you might want to consider re-installing using the 32bit Ubuntu
[23:18] <ZykoticK9> tony78392, i don't see an ALSA selection there anymore either (you're not alone)
[23:18] <supreme> Sorry i dont know what else to do, i just cannot make a simple sharing from ubuntu 10.10
[23:19] <shmup> is there a way to ls a directory and see things like..
[23:19] <shmup> date modified? file size?
[23:19] <supreme> help pls
[23:19] <Dazza71> how do i get 32 bit
[23:19] <shmup> probably in a ls help file isnt it ;x
[23:19] <ZykoticK9> shmup, "ls -l"
[23:19] <Dazza71> and will i have to un-install this now
[23:19] <shmup> splendid, thanks ZykoticK9
[23:19] <shmup> ls
[23:19] <tony78392> ZykoticK9, I triple check , no Alsa in my system
[23:19] <shmup> sorry ;x
[23:20] <ZykoticK9> tony78392, not surprised - that's normal really - it's pretty much all Pulse these days
[23:20] <Juozapas> hi

[23:22] <Dazza71> can u install 32 bit and take of 64 bit
[23:22] <robin0800> Dazza71: yes
[23:22] <ZykoticK9> Dazza71, if you install using the 32bit ISO and overright the current 64bit (Warning it will delete everything you currently have!)
[23:22] <Dazza71> sorry to ask but if i download 32 bit now and install then will it remove 64 bit
[23:22] <tony78392> Dasei, explain me how...can you
[23:23] <Dazza71> ok sorry u answered my question

[23:25] <ZykoticK9> d-eee, sorry i don't have any other suggestions - are you sure you got the order right?  I imagine it would start with the .zip then .z01 .z02 etc.

[23:34] <Diverdude> will this card http://pchdtv.com/ run on ubuntu?
[23:34] <vic20gmr> i need to make a folder in /usr/share/games/ do i do gksu natilus in term?
[23:34] <vic20gmr> if not what is correct thing to do?
[23:35] <rww> vic20gmr: "sudo mkdir /usr/share/games/nameoffolderhere/" in the terminal
[23:35] <KB1JWQ> vic20gmr: I'd mkdir -p /usr/share/games/your/directory/here/, perhaps with a sudo argument.
[23:35] <hiexpo> vic20gmr, sure
[23:36] <Tommo> vic - that, or run sudo mkdir /usr/share/games in terminal. If you're using nautilus go ALT + F2 and gksu nautilus
[23:36] <hiexpo> or like rww said
[23:36] <vic20gmr> ok, but if its not bad to do so, id rather do this stuff in gui, cause i also have to copy files, and i think they are from differing source directories
[23:36] <icedearth> vic20gmr gksu nautilus
[23:37] <Chell> I can't seem to type in #vim, it says "#vim cannot send to channel". Anyone know why that is?
[23:37] <hiexpo> yep gksu is better so they don't end uo in space
[23:37] <hiexpo> ^ up
[23:37] <rww> Chell: you need to be identified with nickserv to speak in that channel
[23:37] <rww> !register | Chell

[23:48] <tony78392> Dasei, no sound still
[23:48] <rooks> bucknasty, i use domain from dyndns on my postfix, works awesome :)
[23:49] <DasEi> tony78392: no wonder to me, no use in reboot, open a stream in vlc, so got a steady output and play around with settings,jacks, module works
[23:50] <nit-wit> anybody know how to capture a foraTV stream blocked from such
[23:50] <DasEi> nit-wit: coming as flash ?
[23:51] <nit-wit> yes but the actual page to watch from is the same url as the page linking, it doesn't shoe in temp as far as I can see
[23:51] <hiexpo> download helper maybe
[23:51] <nit-wit> showP
[23:52] <sexygirl> Happy Thanksgiving!
[23:52] <DasEi> nit-wit: (nick..) try videodownloadhelper plugin for firefox
[23:52] <hiexpo> happy thanksgiving DasEi
[23:52] <DasEi> hiexpo: pardon ?
[23:52] <nit-wit> hiexpo, tried that I'm actually a fairly experienced user so I'm flummoxed
[23:53] <hiexpo> DasEi, said happy thanksgiving
[23:53] <goobar> beware of malware if you install Firefox plugins... just saying :)
[23:54] <hiexpo> nit-wit, use wget
[23:54] <nit-wit> video download helper does not work her it is the unchanging url I thinkmalware in linux it needs root access
[23:54] <Jehah> DasEi: Thank you for your help. It works now but I need to see in the coming couple of days if the problem is still there. Thank you again!
