[00:15] <Lupditerra> hello, anybody here?
[00:15] <bioterror> for a moment yes
[00:15] <head_victim> Lupditerra: how can we help you
[00:16] <Lupditerra> head_victim
[00:16] <Lupditerra> my Unity desktop interface just stoped working
[00:16] <Lupditerra> :/
[00:16] <bioterror> haha
[00:16] <head_victim> What version of Ubuntu?
[00:16] <Lupditerra> Maverick
[00:16] <Lupditerra> Netbook Remix
[00:17] <bioterror> head_victim, hope you have experience with unity, I have none
[00:17] <head_victim> bioterror: I was just about to suggest the same.
[00:17] <head_victim> Lupditerra: what sort of symptoms are you having?
[00:17] <Lupditerra> None :p
[00:17] <Lupditerra> It was working fine.
[00:17] <Lupditerra> then it just stoped working, no errors, no nothing
[00:17] <head_victim> So you can't boot into it, or you can't open windows in it or?
[00:17] <Lupditerra> I have it as my default environment
[00:18] <Lupditerra> it doesnt load
[00:18] <Lupditerra> I'm on the normal desktop now
[00:18] <head_victim> Did you have any updates before you rebooted the last time?
[00:18] <Lupditerra> plenty
[00:18] <Lupditerra> do you think it might be because of Compiz?
[00:18] <head_victim> Anything is possible :)
[00:18] <Lupditerra> lol
[00:19] <head_victim> I just wanted to get an idea so I can start looking around for a solution
[00:19] <Lupditerra> Some one suggested to delete it and reinstall it... haven't done that
[00:19] <Lupditerra> should I start there?
[00:21] <head_victim> As long as you're talking about one application not the whole system that would be a reasonable start.
[00:21] <Lupditerra> o.O
[00:21] <Cheri703> hey folks, I need to harness the group mind here, I'm standing in MicroCenter, trying to figure out if a printer can work in ubuntu
[00:22] <Lupditerra> wait I just try to run it from the terminal
[00:22] <Lupditerra> let me see what it says
[00:22] <Cheri703> I'm searching, but not finding anything concrete. I don't really want to buy it and get it home and have it not work :(
[00:22] <head_victim> Cheri703: model?
[00:22] <Cheri703> there's another option that SHOULD work in ubuntu, but I like the features on the other better
[00:22] <Cheri703> canon pixma mg5220
[00:22] <Lupditerra> any hp will work
[00:22] <Cheri703> I am anti hp
[00:23] <head_victim> Cheri703: apparently http://support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/0100301702.html has a driver that works
[00:23] <Cheri703> full support? I'm tethered with my phone, so it's slow loading
[00:23] <Lupditerra> damn, a lot of errors now :/
[00:24] <Cheri703> and woo! if so :)
[00:24] <head_victim> Lupditerra: can you pastebin them?
[00:24] <head_victim> Cheri703: why anti HP? I love my 4250 and 2610. Both networked, both just work.
[00:24] <Lupditerra> yeah
[00:24] <Lupditerra> let it finnish
[00:25] <head_victim> Lupditerra: sure :)
[00:25] <Cheri703> I hate the games they play with the ink expiration dates, and every hp I've had has had issues
[00:26] <Cheri703> head_victim: if that's an official canon driver, it should support all features, yes?
[00:26] <head_victim> Cheri703: link came from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1588333
[00:26] <Cheri703> ok, awesome, thanks :)
[00:27] <head_victim> Cheri703: no worries
[00:27] <Cheri703> can I note that I'm annoyed at the fact that I googled several times and that thread didn't come up :(
[00:27] <Lupditerra> ok, here it is http://pastebin.com/qLWm9Grv
[00:28] <head_victim> Hah that's what they said on the forum. It's possible I have an upper hand being in .au myself where th elink is (apparently the other canon sites only have .rpm so not sure why we are special with a .deb but as long as it works)
[00:28] <Cheri703> ah, nice. the canon usa didn't have ANY linux
[00:29] <Cheri703> europe had linux listed, but no drivers, usa didn't even have it as an option
[00:30] <head_victim> Cheri703: well it's not regularly we are class leading down here but nice to see we got one thing right (crosses fingers it actually works now)
[00:31] <Cheri703> :) yeah, I'm getting it from a place with awesome return policies, just in case ;)
[00:31] <Cheri703> headed to checkout now, I'll be back online in a bit (headed to a coffee shop after this) thanks head_victim !!!
[00:32] <CharlesIngalls> Hello, everyone. I'm not so sure how this IRC works, but I'd really like some help with some GRUB issues I'm having. Anyone?
[00:32] <head_victim> !ask | CharlesIngalls
[00:32] <ubot2> CharlesIngalls: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-)
[00:32] <CharlesIngalls> Problem is I actually don't have any GRUB menu since I installed 10.10
[00:33] <head_victim> CharlesIngalls: does it still boot and it's just hidden or it just doesn't work?
[00:33] <head_victim> Lupditerra: googling madly now
[00:33] <Lupditerra> head_victim: thanks man, I hope you're luckier than I was :/
[00:33] <CharlesIngalls> It's a dual boot but there's no GRUB. It immediately starts in Ubuntu.
[00:34] <head_victim> Lupditerra: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1589023 is that similar to what you're experiencing?
[00:34] <head_victim> CharlesIngalls: ah ok
[00:35] <Lupditerra> head_victim: let me check
[00:35] <head_victim> CharlesIngalls: have a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StartUpManager you might find it's just auto booting to ubuntu instead of giving you options
[00:36] <head_victim> I must admit since grub2 kicked off that gui start up manager has been great for me
[00:37] <asterismo> hi people
[00:37] <asterismo> i have a question
[00:37] <head_victim> asterismo: shoot
[00:38] <asterismo> i cant export a drawing that i made under XaraLX to SVG for editing with Inkscape
[00:38] <CharlesIngalls> I'll try and install startupmanager, then. Thanks a bunch for the tip, head_victim.
[00:38] <asterismo> is there anyway to save this drawing or exporting to something else?
[00:39] <asterismo> it took me like hours to make it
[00:39] <head_victim> asterismo: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1352721
[00:39] <head_victim> Looks like you might want to save as EPS then open that in inkscape?
[00:39] <asterismo> thanks so much head_victim
[00:40] <head_victim> asterismo: I just hope it helps :)
[00:41] <Lupditerra> head_victim: this guy just told me that Unity is not ment to run in Linux, but Maverick Netbook Remix comes with it as a default
[00:41] <head_victim> Lupditerra: which guy? Unity has been in the netbook for some time and is going to be a part of the desktop shortly
[00:42] <Lupditerra> I know!
[00:42] <Lupditerra> o.O
[00:42] <head_victim> Sounds odd to me
[00:43] <head_victim> So did that link look like what you're experiencing?
[00:43] <Lupditerra> nop
[00:43] <Lupditerra> but I'm reading on to see if I need to unistall Compiz
[00:44] <head_victim> Lupditerra: apparently the current Unity does not use compiz from what I'm reading. They are moving towards it but not until Natty
[00:44] <Lupditerra> cause I think is something messing with GTK
[00:44] <Lupditerra> Uninstallin atm
[00:44] <head_victim> I'm sorry I'm not more precise but I've not ever used Unity to date. I would suggest removing/disabling compiz though to see if that works
[00:45] <head_victim> Heh beat me to it
[00:45] <Lupditerra> lol :p
[00:46] <Lupditerra> entry has no children
[00:46] <Lupditerra> o.O
[00:46] <head_victim> Neither do I :)
[00:47] <Lupditerra> I'll just reinstall the whole thing at lest see what happens o.O
[00:50] <firewall_03> sup

[02:24] <asterismo> hi duanedesign, sorry, bathroom
[02:25] <asterismo> i made a drawing in XaraLX and now i want to save it or export it to SVG or some other readable format for inkscape

[02:29] <duanedesign> asterismo: other then making sure all your layers are visible, I am not sure what it could be
[02:30] <hajour> your welcome asterismo
[02:42] <hajour> duanedesign, is there a place where he can ask else if it not succeed?

[02:44] <hajour> ore more
[02:44] <duanedesign> :\
[02:45] <duanedesign> the only place i can think is maybe the inkscape forum, or if they have an irc channel
[02:46] <Mohan_chml> asterismo, try #inkscape it has 75 peeps there
[02:48] <asterismo> nobody talks to me
[02:49] <asterismo> nevermind
[02:49] <Mohan_chml> aww
[02:52] <hajour> #inkscape is a design channel?
[02:52] <hajour> for ubuntu?
[02:52] <Mohan_chml> hajour, no
[02:53] <hajour> mm ok i was just wondering
[02:54] <Mohan_chml> asterismo, I think they will never answer :|
[02:54] <Mohan_chml> asterismo, look at http://www.inkscapeforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2228
[02:55] <asterismo> don't know what the IRC is for anyway
[02:55] <asterismo> the IRC channel, people usually gets into channels to talk
[02:57] <hajour> maybe they are not there on the moment and let there chat open.for to look back later
[04:14] <MrAnthrope> yay I'm not banned.
[04:14] <Cheri703> head_victim: maybe you can help me some more :)
[04:15] <Cheri703> I'm trying to install this printer driver that you oh so helpfully directed me to, and I'm getting a "error package management system cannot be identified"
[04:17] <Cheri703> (or anyone actually)
[04:17] <MrAnthrope> I know absolutely nothing about this, but what kind of printer?
[04:18] <Cheri703> canon pixma mg5220
[04:18] <Cheri703> getting an error when I run the install script
[04:19] <MrAnthrope> have you read this thread? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1475336
[04:19] <gstarx90> what's the erro?
[04:19] <gstarx90> error, also
[04:19] <Cheri703> An error occurred. The package management system cannot be identified
[04:19] <Cheri703> yeah
[04:21] <gstarx90> hm
[04:21] <gstarx90> you'll need to edit something from the script
[04:25] <gstarx90> brb
[04:26] <Cheri703> yeah
[04:27] <gstarx90> from the script, add a # from every lineexcept C_system="deb"
[04:28] <Cheri703> ok
[04:28] <Cheri703> EVERY line?
[04:28] <Cheri703> or from the top down?
[04:31] <gstarx90> every line except C_system="deb"
[04:31] <gstarx90> it wouldn't matter what order :p
[04:31] <Cheri703> ok
[04:32] <MrAnthrope> Putting a # in front of a line makes the code ignore the line completely. It's the same as deleting the line without actually deleting it. A dangerous thing to do with code you don't understand :)
[04:33] <MrAnthrope> The code will read the line as a 'comment', and skip the entire line.
[04:33] <Cheri703> ok, found it
[04:34] <Cheri703> wasn't in the right part of it
[04:34] <Cheri703> rawr, did it again, will recheck
[04:34] <Cheri703> now I got "An error occurred. A necessary package could not be found in the proper location."
[04:35] <MrAnthrope> Well at least you have a different error. That's progress :)
[04:35] <Cheri703> I don't know where to look in the script to see where it's looking for the files
[04:40] <MrAnthrope> Wish I could help more. My HP just worked right when I plugged it in.
[04:40] <MrAnthrope> My scanner, on the other hand, is most definitely not supported and there is no way to make it work on Linux. So I had to throw it away.
[04:40] <Cheri703> np, I appreciate the input thus far!
[04:41] <Cheri703> my hp was dumb, it basically crapped out, so I got this one :)
[04:42] <MrAnthrope> Ah.
[04:46] <head_victim> Cheri703: works for me
[04:46] <Cheri703> :(
[04:47] <head_victim> I just downloaded the package, unpacked it and then went to the cli and just typed in /path/to/extracted/file/install.sh and it worked
[04:47] <Cheri703> :(
[04:47] <Cheri703> will try again
[04:48] <head_victim> Got up to "register the printer" but I don't have one so it wont wokr
[04:48] <head_victim> You are using the install script right?
[04:49] <Cheri703> yes, and just unzipped again and got the "necessary package could not be found"
[04:49] <Cheri703> error
[04:50] <Cheri703> :(
[04:53] <Cheri703> head_victim: what is the path that yours unzipped to?
[04:53] <MrAnthrope> How do I check my conky version?
[04:53] <head_victim> Cheri703: ok I downloaded it to my deskop, I opened it with fileroller and hit "extract" and left it as default
[04:54] <head_victim> This then put another folder on the desktop with the long name
[04:54] <nit-wit> MrAnthrope, in synaptic
[04:54] <Cheri703> :/ that's what I did, except extracted to home folder, so /home/user/cniblahblah
[04:54] <head_victim> Inside that I just double clicked the install.sh
[04:54] <nit-wit> MrAnthrope, or do you mean what you see on the desktop
[04:54] <head_victim> Hit "run in terminal"
[04:55] <Cheri703> terminal popped up and then disappeared :/
[04:55] <Cheri703> if I manually run from terminal, I get the error
[04:55] <MrAnthrope> Well I don't see anything on the desktop. And I can't find the .conky file in my home folder. But it's in synaptic. conky-all 1.8.0-1ubuntu1
[04:55] <head_victim> Cheri703: normal Ubuntu 10.04 here not sure if that makes a difference
[04:56] <Cheri703> well, I'm now back to the original error, can't identify package management system :(
[04:56] <Cheri703> same here head_victim
[04:56] <head_victim> Does it ask you for your password?
[04:56] <nit-wit> MrAnthrope, it is in file move the .conkyrc folder to home it will be hidden or download one run conky in terminal to start it
[04:56] <Cheri703> nope
[04:57] <Cheri703> did it with sudo, got the little header part, then the same error
[04:57] <nit-wit> MrAnthrope, very customizable
[04:57] <head_victim> Download again?
[04:57] <Cheri703> was just about to say that :)
[04:58] <nit-wit> MrAnthrope, file/etc/conky
[04:58] <MrAnthrope> Nothing happens. http://pastebin.com/AhRRZfaL
[04:58] <MrAnthrope> ooooh. ok.
[04:59] <Cheri703> redownloaded, extracted to different location, same error >.<
[04:59] <Cheri703> going to restart and try again
[04:59] <Cheri703> back in a bit
[05:01] <nit-wit> MrAnthrope, move the .conkyrc from file/etc/conky to home then run conky in terminal. here is waht my terminal looks like.http://pastebin.com/YJuL88M9
[05:01] <nit-wit> what
[05:01] <MrAnthrope> Hrm the only hidden folder in /etc is .java.
[05:01] <MrAnthrope> I have a conky folder but it's just got to .conf files in it.
[05:01] <MrAnthrope> s/to/two
[05:03] <nit-wit> MrAnthrope, it is not hidden in etc it is a regular file called conky with .conkrc inside
[05:04] <MrAnthrope> Yeah my conky folder just has conky.conf and conky_no_x11.conf
[05:05] <MrAnthrope> No hidden files.
[05:05] <nit-wit> MrAnthrope, the stock setup would probably not what you wanted anyway there area ton of customized conky downloads on the web just put one in home I will paste bin mine to start with if you like
[05:05] <MrAnthrope> I'd like that :)
[05:05] <nit-wit> hold on
[05:08] <nit-wit> MrAnthrope, here is mine just put in a gedit name it  .conyrc it will show in the top right corner of the screen probably.  http://pastebin.com/cZxgcR7R
[05:09] <nit-wit> MrAnthrope, put it home of course and run the command in the terminal, you can also make a autostartup for it
[05:09] <nit-wit> time fror cig brb
[05:12] <bodhizazen> 'lo starcraft , good to see you
[05:12] <bodhizazen> tronyx, how goes ?
[05:13] <Mohan_chml> Hola bodhizazen
[05:13] <bodhizazen> 'lo Mohan_chml
[05:13] <Cheri703> so the script still won't run, but I manually installed the packages...I have some functionality, but not as much as I'd expect from a manufacturer's driver :/ not sure if that's all there is, or if I'm missing something still
[05:13] <Mohan_chml> bodhizazen, edited the readme file?
[05:13] <bodhizazen> yes Mohan_chml
[05:13] <Mohan_chml> (:
[05:13] <MrAnthrope> Conky: invalid configuration file '/home/geo/.conkyrc'
[05:13] <bodhizazen> Mohan_chml, I changed my server over
[05:14] <bodhizazen> have you seen the new site ?
[05:14] <Mohan_chml> nope
[05:14] <head_victim> Cheri703: I was going to suggest double clicking the .debs next
[05:14] <bodhizazen> http://bodhizazen.net/
[05:14] <nit-wit> MrAnthrope, is it in a gedit?
[05:14] <Mohan_chml> The page looks awesome bodhizazen =]
[05:15] <Cheri703> it is only offering me a max resolution of 600dpi, when the thing is supposed to do MUCH MORE than that... :/ will be really frustrating if I'm crippled with it in ubuntu :( other than this, it's pretty darn awesome
[05:15] <bodhizazen> TY Mohan_chml
[05:15] <bodhizazen> Cheri703, what are you trying to configure ?
[05:15] <Cheri703> a canon printer
[05:15] <Cheri703> pixma mg5220
[05:15] <MrAnthrope> yup. There's more to the error I will pastebin it. http://pastebin.com/T6chHv9Z
[05:15] <nit-wit> bodhizazen, thats ah beautiful site
[05:16] <Cheri703> head_victim: maybe it likes yours because it's australian?
[05:16] <head_victim> Cheri703: haha possible I guess. We are a bit exclusive down here ;)
[05:16] <nit-wit> MrAnthrope, is it in a gedit and do you know what gedit is
[05:16] <bodhizazen> thanks nit-wit , I re-wrote the css, matched the wordpress (blog) theme, took a bit of effort
[05:17] <head_victim> Cheri703: see if printing from a program will allow higher res, it might only like defaults up to 600
[05:17] <MrAnthrope> lol yes it's in gedit.
[05:17] <MrAnthrope> does it need to be named .txt?
[05:17] <nit-wit> bodhizazen, nice minimalist theme Buddha
[05:17] <Cheri703> I printed from glabels, and it didn't even have a quality option :(
[05:18] <Mohan_chml> bodhizazen, you aligned it to the center? coz I can see some space at the bottom. use some of your drawings to fill it =]
[05:19] <head_victim> Cheri703: sorry I'm out of ideas :/
[05:19] <nit-wit> MrAnthrope, trying to figure it out
[05:20] <Cheri703> :( ok, I appreciate your help though!
[05:20] <head_victim> Cheri703: I have to head off to work again but maybe if you add some comments to that forum post if it's not too old and see if anyone else has had better luck
[05:20] <Cheri703> I may do that, thanks :)
[05:20] <MrAnthrope> nit-wit: typo :)
[05:21] <nit-wit> MrAnthrope, so from paste bin it brings all the line numbers and makes it double spaced
[05:21] <nit-wit> MrAnthrope, should be no space numbers and singlr spaced, double space may be okay not sure
[05:21] <nit-wit> single
[05:21] <MrAnthrope> No error anymore. Still not opening a window though.
[05:22] <MrAnthrope> http://pastebin.com/38dy1k2V
[05:24] <nit-wit> MrAnthrope, try this cleaner scripts you have to find what works and do some intuitive editing just keep a backup befor you edit. Tons of conky scripts on line a a thread with thosands and scrips on the Ubuntu Forums.
[05:24] <geekosopher> bodhizazen: on the first page of your website, in 'nirvana' section, you start with <ul> tag but close it with </ol> tag... I am not a html-guru hence confused
[05:24] <nit-wit> MrAnthrope, http://conky.sourceforge.net/screenshots.html
[05:24] <MrAnthrope> Alright, thanks :)
[05:25] <nit-wit> MrAnthrope, it takes a little learning curve not much though hey i figured it out anyone can.;)
[05:26] <MrAnthrope> lol
[05:30] <MrAnthrope> Hmm this says something about nautilus requiring conky to be in its own window.
[05:31] <bodhizazen> geekosopher, thanks, fixed that
[05:31] <nit-wit> MrAnthrope, open the menu-admin-system monitor and look for any other conky running
[05:32] <geekosopher> bodhizazen: np :)
[05:32] <nit-wit> MrAnthrope, if any are kill them
[05:32] <bodhizazen> Mohan_chml, space where exactly ?
[05:32] <MrAnthrope> Oh it's working! yay!
[05:33] <Mohan_chml> bodhizazen, scroll down and you can see some space at the bottom =]
[05:33] <Mohan_chml> idk whether its usual or not. but felt that there is some space
[05:34] <nit-wit> MrAnthrope, tipeee
[05:34] <nit-wit> yipeee
[05:34] <nit-wit> MrAnthrope, conky used to mess with the desktop but works great now with little use of the system generally
[05:34] <MrAnthrope> Until I click on the desktop then it goes away and I have to kill it.
[05:35] <nit-wit> MrAnthrope, what desktop ubuntu
[05:36] <MrAnthrope> mmmm gnome?
[05:37] <nit-wit> MrAnthrope, should work in just gnome what is the actual install, did you remove or change the desktop
[05:37] <nit-wit> MrAnthrope, what version as well what distro?
[05:38] <hajour> hai nit-wit
[05:38] <nit-wit> hajour, hows it going
[05:38] <hajour> can i talk to you so in offtopic?
[05:38] <nit-wit> hajour, sure
[05:38] <hajour> ok :) i waith there
[05:39] <MrAnthrope> Just Ubuntu 10.04
[05:39] <MrAnthrope> It's a fairly new install.
[05:39] <nit-wit> hajour, I have a dialogue window open
[05:40] <hajour> a ok thanks
[05:41] <nit-wit> MrAnthrope, it is Ubuntu then conky should work, maybe it just needs to be purged and reinstalled. If there was no .conkrc to begin with that is starnge
[05:42] <MrAnthrope> Yeah I'm using different scripts and it's the same window for every script. So it's not reading the scripts I'm putting in there.
[05:45] <nit-wit> MrAnthrope, hit crtl-h for the hidden and look for any thing conky in home. The only thing there should be what you put there.
[05:45] <MrAnthrope> Yup.
[05:48] <MrAnthrope> All well. I'll figure it out later. It's semi-working now.
[05:48] <MrAnthrope> thanks for all the help :)
[05:49] <bodhizazen> Mohan_chml, you mean, if you scroll the content ?
[05:49] <bodhizazen> space below content ?

[11:01] <Silver_Fox_> Hello.
[11:43] <duanedesign> hello Silver_Fox_
[11:43] <Silver_Fox_> Hello duanedesign .
[11:51] <zeroseven0183> What's up, people?
[11:56] <duanedesign> hello zeroseven0183
[11:57] <Silver_Fox_> Hello zeroseven0183
[11:58] <Silver_Fox_> How is duanedesign  ?
[12:01] <zeroseven0183> Silver_Fox_, someone is looking for you in the Community Cafe http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=10231643&postcount=3370
[12:01] <zeroseven0183> :-)
[12:04] <Silver_Fox_> *sigh ninjad
[12:07] <zeroseven0183> Ooopppsss. kernel update. Gotta restart
[12:09] <zeroseven0183> Hmmm... new kernel version did not appear in GRUB. Anybody encountered that?
[12:09]  * Mohan_chml is still in Lucid
[12:10] <Mohan_chml> and no updates for 3 days recently
[12:10] <Mohan_chml> zeroseven0183, tries os-prober and update-grub?
[12:10] <Mohan_chml> tried*
[12:12] <zeroseven0183> I'm sure Update Manager did the update-grub for me.
[12:13] <Mohan_chml> try os-prober and then update-grub again. Just give a try =]
[12:14] <zeroseven0183> Still didn't see the new version
[12:14] <zeroseven0183> It's suppose to scroll during the update-grub
[12:14] <zeroseven0183> I mean, it's suppose to appear in the terminal during the update-grub
[12:16] <zeroseven0183> 2.6.35-24 is _not_ the latest, right?
[12:16] <duanedesign> Silver_Fox_: i am doing good.
[14:15] <kosaidpo> hello guys
[14:15] <kosaidpo> anyone kno how ican lanch up nitrogen ?? i tried nitrogen --restore but it doesnt work
[14:20] <zeroseven0183> People, does anyone here having version conflicts when you type lsb_release -a and open the About Ubuntu window in System menu?
[14:20] <zeroseven0183> I'm using 10.10 but my About Ubuntu window tells that it's already 11.04 Natty.

[14:44] <kosaidpo> anyone using nitrogen guys ??
[15:56] <raubvogel> If you do an upgrade to a package that some services being run depend on, will the upgrade also restart those services?
[16:09] <IdleOne> raubvogel: usually yes
[16:10] <raubvogel> IdleOne, First example I can think of is openssl as the package being upgraded. Would mail (if it does tls)
[16:10] <raubvogel> and even openssh be restarted? If not, how would they start using the  new ssl libraries?
[16:11] <IdleOne> raubvogel: if they don't restart then the continue using the existing libs and on reboot or manual restart of the service they will use the new lib
[16:11] <raubvogel> IdleOne, but there is no guarantee they will be restarted once openssl is upgraded.
[16:12] <IdleOne> raubvogel: well, things can go wrong and the upgrade can break but chances are slim. I assume the new libs are tested to make sure they work
[16:15] <IdleOne> raubvogel: also have to consider the version of Ubuntu. IF your running 10.04 LTS I would not expect much breakage.
[16:16] <IdleOne> honestly, I rarely have any issues with any version of Ubuntu
[16:19] <kristian-aalborg> hi ppl
[16:19] <kristian-aalborg> in all honesty, which is best for modest hardware: cli ubuntu or cli debian?
[16:22] <IdleOne> either
[16:23] <kristian-aalborg> they seem rather similar... one thing I'm a bit unsatisfied with in Ubuntu is the availability of a boot log, or rather the lack thereof
[16:24] <kristian-aalborg> would anybody know if that's better in debian?
[16:34] <raubvogel> IdleOne, is there an upgrade log I can check and see which services (that were dependent on the upgrade) were restarted? I am using 10.04 LTS BTW
[16:35] <IdleOne> /var/log/apt/history.log should be what you want
[16:37] <IdleOne> kristian-aalborg: /var/log/boot.log
[16:38] <kristian-aalborg> IdleOne: I know that one but can't get it to work properly - and yes, I turned it on ;)
[16:38] <IdleOne> kristian-aalborg: then you already know more then I do, turn it on?
[16:38] <IdleOne> hehe
[16:42] <kristian-aalborg> okay, so I borked my /home - what files should I get to make the reinstall easier? I already got a list of installed packages
[16:44] <shahan> I installed the KDE on my GNOME maverick
[16:45] <shahan> https://help.ubuntu.com/10.10/config-desktop/C/other-desktops.html#other-desktop-kde
[16:45] <shahan> this is the link how I did it
[16:45] <shahan> but I want to know the process how to delete it
[16:48] <philinux> shahan: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome
[16:49] <IdleOne> kristian-aalborg: just use the Live CD and reinstall, manually select your partitions and don't format /home (if you want to keep it)
[16:50] <kristian-aalborg> IdleOne: too late, I borked it beyond repair when I tried to reinstall
[16:50] <IdleOne> kristian-aalborg: is this a dual boot?
[16:50] <kristian-aalborg> nope
[16:50] <IdleOne> if not, select use entire disk and let the installer do its thing :)
[16:51] <shahan> philinux, tnxn
[16:51] <shahan> philinux, its downloading something...
[16:51] <shahan> may take 15 mins
[16:51] <IdleOne> or again you can select select the partitions manually. I do, 10GB for / and the rest for /home
[16:52] <IdleOne> 1.5x amount of ram for /swap
[16:54] <philinux> Good guide for swap. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq
[16:55] <philinux> shahan: If you copied and pasted the whole thing in it will take a while as it's removing a lot of stuff
[17:05] <raubvogel> IdleOne, /var/log/apt/history.log shows is which packages were installed/removed/upgraded. The list of packages affected by the upgraded packages is not there though
[17:06] <IdleOne> raubvogel: I don't know if there is such a list
[17:12] <kristian-aalborg> IdleOne: I got xorg.conf and a list of what I've installed... what else can I save?
[17:13] <IdleOne> your media if any
[17:13] <shahan> philinux, downloaded about 32 MB files
[17:13] <IdleOne> !clone
[17:13] <ubot2> To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude  --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate
[17:13] <shahan> philinux,  now its removing a lot of files
[17:15] <shahan> o my god
[17:15] <shahan> its removing VLC, SKYPE
[17:15] <pedro3005> ctrl + c
[17:15] <shahan> I dont know why?\
[17:16] <shahan> pedro3005, it replies nothing
[17:25] <IdleOne> shahan: VLC is not part of the default kubuntu install
[17:25] <IdleOne> you can reinstall it after
[17:26] <shahan> IdleOne, I have to download about 12.1 MB archives
[17:26] <shahan> IdleOne, for VLC
[17:27] <IdleOne> ok?
[17:28] <shahan> IdleOne, however, tnx for your help
[17:28] <shahan> IdleOne, now it seems light
[17:28] <shahan> :)
[17:29] <IdleOne> kubuntu comes with amarok which is a nice media player
[17:44] <zkriesse> ohai IdleOne ! Long time no see
[17:44] <IdleOne> hey zkriesse
[17:44] <zkriesse> How goes it?
[17:45] <IdleOne> good thanks and you?
[17:46] <zkriesse> fine
[17:46] <zkriesse> Finals are over
[17:46] <IdleOne> That is good, now you get to relax for the holidays :)
[17:46] <zkriesse> you
[17:47] <zkriesse> "yup
[18:12] <Silver_Fox_> Goodbye.
[18:20] <kendrickLeiter> I am using firefox with Windows Media Player Plug-in 10 (Totem Compatible) but am having trouble viewing movie clips online.  They will usually show, but may not playback, and if I scroll to a different time, audio plays but not video
[18:22] <UndiFineD> kendrickLeiter, browser plugins may differ from gui plugins
[18:44] <holstein> so, i have some questions about multibooting and GRUB
[18:44] <holstein> ive had windows installed before
[18:44] <holstein> and put buntu besied it
[18:44] <holstein> beside*
[18:44] <holstein> so i get that
[18:44] <holstein> BUT
[18:44] <holstein> im interested in having some test istallations going
[18:45] <holstein> maverick natty and lucid
[18:45] <holstein> side by side
[18:45] <holstein> and i havent really done that before
[18:45] <holstein> im wondering what happens when kernels get updated?
[18:45] <nit-wit> holstein, do you have a extended partition around your whole linux install
[18:45] <holstein> nit-wit: i can
[18:45] <holstein> i can start from scratch really
[18:46] <holstein> i just kinda need all of them running natively
[18:46] <holstein> and this is the best box for the job i think
[18:46] <tronyx> o.o holstein fancy seeing you here!
[18:46] <holstein> tronyx: HEY
[18:46] <holstein> long time no talk
[18:46] <tronyx> how goes sir?
[18:46] <holstein> hows it going?
[18:46] <tronyx> not bad.  moved back to chicago
[18:47] <holstein> some snow on the ground here
[18:47] <nit-wit> holstein, there are a couple of factors any single HD can have 4 primaries or 3 primary patitions and one exteneded which can have as many as you can fit it it
[18:47] <holstein> i bet you got plenty up there :)
[18:47] <tronyx> lol yea, and it's VERY cold
[18:47] <tronyx> when are you playing in chicago holstein
[18:47]  * holstein hasnt been up that way in years
[18:47] <tronyx> ah that's a shame
[18:47] <holstein> i could go up there and play with a guitar player that moved up there from here
[18:47] <holstein> its just a bit far to go
[18:48] <holstein> but i totally should
[18:48] <nit-wit> holstein, what genre
[18:48] <holstein> tronyx: you move right back where you were?
[18:48] <holstein> nit-wit: jazz mostly
[18:48] <holstein> nit-wit: you play?
[18:48] <tronyx> yea, pretty much holstein
[18:48] <nit-wit> holstein, former Jazzpro myself multi-instrumentalist
[18:48] <tronyx> much happier to be back.  NC is a solid state and has some cool areas, but charlotte isn't one of them
[18:48] <holstein> tronyx: i was just wondering if you had to get set up somewhere new
[18:49] <holstein> nah, im not a huge fan of charlotte
[18:49] <holstein> good folks over there though
[18:49] <tronyx> it's boring as hell
[18:49] <holstein> can be ;)
[18:49] <holstein> nit-wit: cool
[18:49] <holstein> how former?
[18:50] <nit-wit> holstein, its been a few yraes since i just practiced a bit longer for a actual group last one was full improv, multimedia way out, sun rah meets Ornette Coleman like
[18:51] <holstein> nice
[18:51] <holstein> i got to open for the sun ra band
[18:51] <holstein> the ghost band
[18:51] <holstein> crazy cats ;)
[18:51] <nit-wit> holstein,  a amazing group of players in that group, thats cool sun rah was a enigma
[18:52] <nit-wit> brb
[18:52] <TJ__> How do i get Amarok to play mp3's on ubuntu 10.10?
[18:52] <holstein> TJ__: do you have a codec?
[18:52] <holstein> for mp3 playback?
[18:53] <holstein> i guess what im asking is, is it just amarok that will not play mp3's?
[18:54] <TJ__> I only have amarok and im pretty sure i dont have an mp3 codec. which package should i download?
[18:54] <holstein> you could open whatever you use to download packages
[18:54] <holstein> and search for mp3
[18:55] <holstein> i usually just install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[18:55] <holstein> first thing
[18:55] <holstein> but thats more that just mp3 codec
[18:55] <holstein> let me look for the fluendo package name...
[18:56] <TJ__> I know i already have the ubuntu ristricted extras package downloaded
[18:56] <holstein> hmmm
[18:56] <holstein> TJ__: would you mind installing VLC ?
[18:56] <holstein> and trying that?
[18:56] <holstein> just to rule out if its the player or the codec?
[18:56] <holstein> sudo apt-get install vlc
[18:57] <TJ__> haha i already have that too. im downloading rythmbox again right now to see if that will play mp3's
[18:57] <holstein> TJ__: open a terminal
[18:57] <holstein> and run
[18:57] <holstein> clvc /path/to/some.mp3
[18:58] <geekosopher> holstein: is gstreamer0.10-fluendo-plugins-mp3-partner what you are looking for?
[18:58] <holstein> geekosopher: seems like it
[18:58] <holstein> is that in maverick?
[18:58] <holstein> gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3
[18:58] <geekosopher> yes
[18:58] <holstein> is what i found in lucid
[18:59] <geekosopher> 'apt-cache search codec | grep mp3
[18:59] <holstein> geekosopher: an mp3 codec is still in that meta-package though right?
[18:59] <geekosopher> gives only this
[18:59] <geekosopher> looking
[18:59] <holstein> the ubuntu-restricted-extras ?
[19:00] <TJ__> rythmbox plays mp3's just fine
[19:00] <holstein> TJ__: AH
[19:00] <geekosopher> holstein: as you said, its lot more than mp3
[19:00] <TJ__> I unstalled everything amarok earlier and reinstalled it. same problem
[19:00] <geekosopher> 0_0
[19:01] <TJ__> ya idk..
[19:01] <holstein> http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/MP3:Kubuntu
[19:01] <TJ__> maybe a compatability issue with maverick?
[19:01] <holstein> maybe??
[19:02] <TJ__> ill check it out
[19:02] <holstein> maybe you need libxine1-ffmpeg
[19:02] <holstein> thats an OLD page though i think
[19:02] <geekosopher> TJ__: i am using amarok on kubuntu maverick and mp3s are playing just fine
[19:03] <geekosopher> but I have started to like mpg123
[19:04] <TJ__> ya that page hasnt been updated since nov. 09 but ill try it
[19:07] <TJ__> if ibxine doesnt work i might just have to try mpg123
[19:08] <TJ__> sweet the codec worked amarok plays mp3's without a problem now
[19:09] <TJ__> thanks everyone!
[19:09] <holstein> :)
[19:10] <holstein> so what im not clear on is, say i have lucid installed
[19:10] <geekosopher> TJ__: you mean the libxine package?
[19:10] <holstein> and i install maverick beside it
[19:10] <holstein> THEN grub is istalled again
[19:10] <holstein> re-installed
[19:10] <holstein> what happens when im in lucid
[19:10] <holstein> and i get a kernel update
[19:10] <holstein> OR want to install a different kernel?
[19:10] <holstein> kernel testing is part of this process as well for me
[19:11] <geekosopher> holstein: after updating/installing in lucid, go to maverick and do 'update-grub'
[19:11] <holstein> geekosopher: im assuming TJ meant that package
[19:11] <holstein> geekosopher: SO, i just go the the OS that installed grub
[19:11] <holstein> sudo update-grub
[19:11] <holstein> and bob is my uncle?
[19:11] <holstein> pretty much?
[19:11] <geekosopher> pretty much
[19:12] <holstein> i can handle that...
[19:12] <geekosopher> that, or don't install grub when installing maverick
[19:12] <holstein> AH
[19:12] <geekosopher> and do the other way round when there is kernel update in maverick
[19:12] <holstein> then i update grub in lucid
[19:12] <holstein> and it'll find it
[19:12] <holstein> totally makes sense now
[19:13] <holstein> i couldnt get my mind around it for some reason
[19:13] <geekosopher> any version later than karmic will find
[19:13] <holstein> yeah, something with grub2?
[19:13] <geekosopher> yes
[19:13] <holstein> not the older one...
[19:13] <geekosopher> no
[19:13] <holstein> whatever grub was pre karmic
[19:13] <holstein> grub1
[19:14] <holstein> grub 'legacy'
[19:14] <geekosopher> grub-legacy
[19:14] <geekosopher> yes
[19:14] <geekosopher> :)
[19:14] <holstein> thanks :)
[19:14] <geekosopher> always welcome
[19:20] <beachbuddah> so it looks as though I've broken something
[19:20] <beachbuddah> I have a euro-style do not enter sign on my systray
[19:20] <beachbuddah> I can't update
[19:20] <nit-wit> theres's  no place like gnome there's no place like gnome
[19:21] <holstein> beachbuddah: maybe open a terminal
[19:21] <nit-wit> hobgoblin, yoh
[19:21] <holstein> and try running sudo apt-get update
[19:21] <hobgoblin> gnome's are just myths like goblins nit-wit
[19:21] <holstein> see what error you get
[19:21] <nit-wit> hobgoblin, the gnomes are safe as long as they stay on the lawn
[19:22] <beachbuddah> E: Malformed line 60 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist)
[19:22] <beachbuddah> E: The list of sources could not be read.
[19:22] <holstein> beachbuddah: did you add a PPA?
[19:22] <holstein> maybe look over your sources
[19:22] <beachbuddah> I did
[19:22] <holstein> and see if everything looks proper
[19:22] <beachbuddah> I have since removed but the error continues
[19:22] <holstein> hmmm
[19:22] <beachbuddah> hmm indeed
[19:23] <beachbuddah> zackly how I feel
[19:23] <holstein> i dont think this is too bad though
[19:23] <geekosopher> beachbuddah: can you paste your sources.list file?
[19:23] <beachbuddah> cli command geekosopher?
[19:23] <geekosopher> no, the contents of /etc/sources.list
[19:24] <beachbuddah> right - how do
[19:24] <geekosopher> /etc/apt/sources.list that is
[19:24] <beachbuddah> how do I go about getting that?
[19:24] <hobgoblin> cat /etc/apt/sources.list and paste it to a psatebin
[19:24] <beachbuddah> gotcha
[19:25] <hobgoblin> unless you have pastebinit installed inwhich case cat /etc/apt/sources.list |pastebinit
[19:25] <hobgoblin> and give us the url
[19:25] <beachbuddah> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/544110/
[19:25] <hobgoblin> holstein: just was looking at the logs - did TJ_ get amarok working with libxine1-ffmpeg ?
[19:26] <holstein> hobgoblin: thats what was implied
[19:26] <hobgoblin> cool
[19:26] <holstein> yeah, go figure
[19:26] <geekosopher> beachbuddah: guess its the libreoffice repo
[19:27] <holstein> maybe its included in the kubuntu-restricted-extras meta-package
[19:27] <beachbuddah> <-----sheepish - yeh
[19:27] <beachbuddah> I just HAD to be the first buddah on the block with his own
[19:28] <geekosopher> ok, try this
[19:28] <geekosopher> from the terminal do 'sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list'
[19:28] <hobgoblin> gksudo
[19:28] <geekosopher> oh yes :)
[19:29] <hobgoblin> or sudo nano ;)
[19:29] <hobgoblin> never vi ...
[19:29] <geekosopher> hobgoblin: personally I prefer vim
[19:29] <holstein> hehe
[19:29] <beachbuddah> ok?
[19:29] <hobgoblin> geekosopher: personally I'd prefer torture ;)
[19:30] <hobgoblin> beachbuddah: sorry :)
[19:30] <holstein> why would you want gksudo gedit instead of sudo gedit?
[19:30] <beachbuddah> np :)\
[19:30] <sebikul> !gksu
[19:30] <ubot2> If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why)
[19:30] <hobgoblin> holstein: it could casuse some issues - and I think about 3 years ago it actually did for me
[19:30] <holstein> AH
[19:30] <holstein> ive never had any problems
[19:30] <geekosopher> beachbuddah: after opening the file, add a '#' in front of the line that mentions 'deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/gericom/libreoffice/
[19:31] <holstein> BUT i'll read that
[19:31] <beachbuddah> k
[19:31] <geekosopher> beachbuddah: save and close the file
[19:31] <geekosopher> and try updating again
[19:31] <hobgoblin> holstein: I am fairly sure that even though I was new to the
[19:31] <hobgoblin> whoops
[19:32] <hobgoblin> holstein: I am fairly sure that even though I was new to linux it was that caused me a problem I could not get out of at the time - so it was the third reinstall in a week ... so I use it :)
[19:32] <holstein> hobgoblin: ;)
[19:33] <hobgoblin> actually I use sudo nano ...
[19:37] <beachbuddah> geekosopher: thank you and now I have a new question
[19:37] <geekosopher> always welcome beachbuddah
[19:38] <hobgoblin> that let's the rest of us off the hook then :)
[19:38] <beachbuddah> The update manager is working and it wants to install the latest and greatest in Linux kernels (lol @ hobgoblin)
[19:38] <beachbuddah> last time I did that everything went haywire and I ended up reinstalling Ubuntu from scratch
[19:39] <hobgoblin> don't do it then ;)
[19:39] <beachbuddah> ahhh
[19:39] <beachbuddah> each time it wants to update?
[19:40] <holstein> i always have a couple kernels going
[19:40] <holstein> -realtime or whatever
[19:40] <holstein> SO i usually have grub showing
[19:40] <holstein> i think that can help get into an oler kernel if something goes wrong
[19:40] <beachbuddah> I thought that was what the cool kids did, but I guess I'm not one of them anymore :(
[19:41] <hobgoblin> beachbuddah: was it you that was looking at locvking the kernel version a while back with bodhi's help?
[19:41] <hobgoblin> beachbuddah: I would not upgrade anything at all if it caused me issues
[19:41] <beachbuddah> yes - it;s been since then to reinstall, reconfigure and now recreate a problem
[19:42] <beachbuddah> hobgoblin:  I'd rather not so is therer a way to sort of automate the 'no kernel upgrade' selection in the update manager?
[19:42] <hobgoblin> so lock it again like it was - though it might well be a different version now so would not cause whatever it was last time
[19:43] <beachbuddah> :/
[19:43] <beachbuddah> how often are the here Linux kernels updated anyway (very recent M$ user here)?
[19:44] <hobgoblin> can't remember off the top of my head and my net is v e r y s l o w so I'm not going to look it up I'm afraid
[19:44] <beachbuddah> okey dokey
[19:44] <hobgoblin> once or twice I've updated kernels I think in maverick
[19:45] <geekosopher> beachbuddah: I don't think there is a fixed schedule to kernel updates
[19:45] <beachbuddah> so its not like patch tuesday or anything
[19:45] <hobgoblin> nope
[19:45] <hobgoblin> hi Cheri703
[19:46] <Cheri703> hi
[19:46] <holstein> i used to answer the grub config file question incorretly
[19:46] <geekosopher> time for me to dream... good night all :)
[19:46] <holstein> i think its something like 'keep your locally installed verion'
[19:47] <holstein> i think thats what used to bork my system when i udpated kernels
[19:47] <holstein> version*
[19:48] <beachbuddah> I think it's this current update that messed me all up...I'll stick in hell with the devil I know
[19:49] <holstein> yeah
[19:49] <holstein> unless theres somthing you need in the new one, i wouldnt sweat it
[19:50] <beachbuddah> lol - I'm too new to know what I need
[19:51] <holstein> i used to set up vitual box installs
[19:51] <holstein> and break them
[19:51] <holstein> because you can save the state
[19:52] <holstein> if your bored and want to try messing with kernel updates in a test environment ;)
[19:52] <beachbuddah> I may explore that yet
[19:58] <kristian-aalborg> hi all
[19:58] <kristian-aalborg> I utterly borked a CF card, it seems :/
[19:58] <kristian-aalborg> I can see it on ubuntu 9.4 but nowhere else
[19:59] <kristian-aalborg> the 9.4 is cli only, I should mention
[20:00] <holstein> hmmm
[20:00] <holstein> if you can see it, and mount it...
[20:01] <holstein> you see it when you run
[20:01] <holstein> fdisk -l
[20:10] <kristian-aalborg> hi again, holstein
[20:10] <kristian-aalborg> er du fra Slesvig?
[20:10] <kristian-aalborg> one moment and I'll be where I can see it
[20:11] <holstein> no, im in US
[20:11] <holstein> is that what that was?
[20:11] <kristian-aalborg> I put an iso on the card, but forgot to format it first
[20:12] <kristian-aalborg> it was danish for are you from Slesvig... Schlesvig-Holstein is a part of Germany where many people speak some danish because it is close to the border
[20:13] <holstein> thats what i was thinking :)
[20:13] <holstein> nah, holstein is my last name
[20:13] <holstein> SO someone in my family was from there i suppose
[20:13] <kristian-aalborg> probably - you should see it if you get the chance, it is very nice
[20:13] <holstein> kristian-aalborg: if its not showing up
[20:13] <holstein> and you dont have anything important on it
[20:13] <holstein> maybe just try wiping it again
[20:13] <holstein> in gparted
[20:14] <kristian-aalborg> can't run gparted
[20:14] <holstein> and re-formatting
[20:14] <holstein> well, however you partition
[20:14] <kristian-aalborg> it shows up in fdisk -l
[20:14] <holstein> AH
[20:14] <holstein> can you mount it?
[20:15] <kristian-aalborg> yes
[20:15] <holstein> hmm so whats the issue?
[20:16] <kristian-aalborg> http://pastebin.com/Qjafsyn3
[20:16] <kristian-aalborg> here's fdisk -l
[20:16] <kristian-aalborg> it seems to be messed up... I can't read it from my desktop anymore
[20:16] <kristian-aalborg> it's kind of essential for me to do that :/
[20:17] <holstein> right
[20:18] <holstein> have you tried any other box?
[20:18] <holstein> or card in your desktop?
[20:18] <holstein> what OS is on your desktop?
[20:19] <kristian-aalborg> mint 9 gnome
[20:19] <holstein> put it in there
[20:19] <holstein> and run fdisk -l
[20:19] <kristian-aalborg> I tried a bit of this and a bit of that ;)... but only 9.4 sees it
[20:19] <holstein> well, more acurately, only mint 9 gnome *doesnt* see it
[20:20] <holstein> if those are the only 2 test cases
[20:20] <kristian-aalborg> nope... pclinuxOS and DSL fails too
[20:20] <kristian-aalborg> and Ubuntu 10.10 livecd would not even start, ahem ;)
[20:21] <holstein> well, thats another issue
[20:21] <holstein> and supports the hardware problem im about to propose
[20:21] <holstein> BUT
[20:22] <holstein> i would re-format it i suppose
[20:22] <holstein> try a few more times to get a live CD to boot on something
[20:22] <holstein> and go from there
[20:23] <kristian-aalborg> did you see the output?
[20:23] <holstein> yeah
[20:23] <holstein> /dev/sdb
[20:23] <holstein> right
[20:23] <kristian-aalborg> does it look ok?
[20:23] <holstein> no
[20:24] <holstein> doesnt look like it has any partitions
[20:24] <holstein> you can partition it in gparted on the mint box
[20:24] <kristian-aalborg> I formatted it with mkfs.vfat -I
[20:24] <holstein> right
[20:24] <kristian-aalborg> yes, but mint won't even see it
[20:24] <holstein> im not too hip on the command line lingo for formatting
[20:25] <holstein> i still use gparted mostly for that
[20:25] <kristian-aalborg> it's one of the few things where I'm really helpless in CLI
[20:25] <holstein> you dont see it in fdisk?
[20:25] <kristian-aalborg> no - but dmesg | tail gives something
[20:28] <holstein> those things go bad too
[20:28] <holstein> cards
[20:29] <kristian-aalborg> whoo!
[20:29] <kristian-aalborg> I got some kind of hole through
[20:36] <kristian-aalborg> I made a partition on it with parted... and now the card reader lights up on the desktop when it's in... still not visible in fdisk or anywhere else
[20:36] <kristian-aalborg> I'll give it a reboot, I saw somewhere that that could be a solution
[20:36] <holstein> if its mounting
[20:36] <holstein> and reading and writing
[20:36] <holstein> sounds like a win
[20:37] <kristian-aalborg> it's not
[20:37] <holstein> :/
[20:37] <kristian-aalborg> well, it is on the laptop I'd say... but not on the desktop
[20:37] <kristian-aalborg> I'd love to be able to put iso's on it, then boot it
[20:38] <nit-wit> holstein: so whats your axe
[20:39] <holstein> nit-wit: i play bass
[20:39] <holstein> well, i play other things, but thats whay i get paid to play
[20:39] <nit-wit> holstein: do you know ben wolfe
[20:39] <holstein> nah
[20:40] <holstein> i know a sax player up there though who works with him
[20:40] <nit-wit> holstein: played with wynton marsalis
[20:40] <holstein> i met the other guy...
[20:40] <nit-wit> holstein: I play fret-less bass mainly a reed player, charnet moffet
[20:41] <holstein> and the newer guy
[20:41] <holstein> carlos something?
[20:41] <holstein> plays in the big band still AFAIK
[20:41] <holstein> i totally forget the other guys name
[20:41] <nit-wit> holstein: always a nwew guy but both of those guys are great player ben teaches a Julliiard
[20:41] <holstein> did a lot with eric reed
[20:42] <nit-wit> holstein: cool
[20:42] <holstein> maybe thats where my friend teaches
[20:42] <holstein> hes on faculty somewhere with him
[20:42] <nit-wit> holstein: hard for even some of the best in the world to make a steady living
[20:43] <holstein> http://joelulloff.com/
[20:43] <holstein> OH
[20:44] <holstein> its rodney whitaker that hes on facutly with
[20:44] <holstein> i get him and ben mixed up ;)
[20:45] <holstein> anyways... fretless bass :)
[20:45] <holstein> cool
[20:45] <kristian-aalborg> hi again
[20:45] <holstein> you still go out to the jams?
[20:45] <kristian-aalborg> not really ;)
[20:45] <nit-wit> holstein: rodney played with terrance so wynton makes sense
[20:45] <holstein> they were both on some albums too
[20:46] <holstein> rodney and ben
[20:46] <kristian-aalborg> is nit-wit in Primus?
[20:46] <holstein> i could barely tell them apart ;)
[20:46] <nit-wit> holstein: no I have taken up other studies plan to get back via a midi set up
[20:46] <kristian-aalborg> I feel like I missed something important during those few minutes...
[20:46] <holstein> nit-wit: we got a cool community going on over at #opensourcemusicians :)
[20:46] <holstein> if your interested
[20:46] <nit-wit> kristian-aalborg: no that is a goood bass player I like flea better
[20:46] <nit-wit> good
[20:46] <holstein> im not a big MIDI guy
[20:46] <holstein> but other are
[20:47] <holstein> others*
[20:47] <nit-wit> holstein: midi sax
[20:47] <kristian-aalborg> I don't know if he's good but I'm pretty sure he uses the fretless bass a lot
[20:47] <holstein> there was a girl with an EWI
[20:47] <holstein> nice one
[20:47] <holstein> we jammed in NINjam a couple times ;)
[20:48] <holstein> when i had a server up
[20:48] <nit-wit> kristian-aalborg: yes he does in a rather unusual manner brb
[20:49] <kristian-aalborg> I think I
[20:49] <kristian-aalborg> whoops... I think I'll have to try and fix this in parted, can someone walk me through perhaps?
[20:51] <kristian-aalborg> http://pastebin.com/x8wzyZNa - here's my new fdisk
[20:55] <nit-wit> kristian-aalborg: so what is going on it is a boot problem
[20:56] <kristian-aalborg> I can't read it anywhere but in 9.04
[20:57] <nit-wit> kristian-aalborg: can you post this script run in paste bin. http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/
[20:57] <nit-wit> kristian-aalborg: 9.04 was grub-legacy I believe
[20:59] <kristian-aalborg> nit-wit: this is not boot-related, I think?
[20:59] <nit-wit> kristian-aalborg: the guy from primus uses all hammer on and sliding around questionable intonation but still good
[21:00] <nit-wit> kristian-aalborg: okay just trying to figure out the problem
[21:00] <kristian-aalborg> I never dug them much... my fav bass player is Dee Dee Ramone or something ;)
[21:00] <nit-wit> kristian-aalborg: Dee Dee has his place in history that is for sure
[21:01] <nit-wit> may he RIP
[21:02] <kristian-aalborg> he was a bit boring on record perhaps, but check the youtube vids of him live, he really laid something into it
[21:02] <kristian-aalborg> may the Ramones all RIP and Tommy live long
[21:02] <kristian-aalborg> I don't wish death to Marky and CJ, but they're not "real" members of that band to me
[21:02] <nit-wit> kristian-aalborg: it's all music and art to me from duke ellington and before to mega death
[21:03] <kristian-aalborg> sure... but they're not all true Ramones ;)
[21:03] <nit-wit> kristian-aalborg: lol
[21:04] <nit-wit> kristian-aalborg: so what is going on with your computer?
[21:04] <kristian-aalborg> I may have found some kind of fix... one moment
[21:05] <nit-wit> kristian-aalborg: cool
[21:06] <kristian-aalborg> gparted was not as big as I assumed... great
[21:07] <nit-wit> kristian-aalborg: so what are you trying to do actually
[21:07] <kristian-aalborg> I messed up a CompactFlash card
[21:07] <nit-wit> kristian-aalborg: a SDHC card
[21:09] <kristian-aalborg> none of that fancy stuff, thank you ;)
[21:11] <nit-wit> kristian-aalborg: is the flash card have a partition table set whats it look like in gparted
[21:14] <stlsaint_mobile> sup sup
[21:22] <kristian-aalborg> this is absurd... no matter what I do, only ubuntu 10.4 sees this card
[21:25] <nit-wit> kristian-aalborg: there is a problem with mini cards I have found if safely removed and or rejected. I use the disc manager to unmount mine. Also when you wipe the partition you need to build a new partition table I have found to get it working
[21:26] <nit-wit> kristian-aalborg: there was a code to help them work better I will look
[21:27] <kristian-aalborg> in gparted now, reading the damn card
[21:29] <nit-wit> kristian-aalborg: what do you see
[21:30] <kristian-aalborg> I wiped it... then I chose new partition table
[21:30] <kristian-aalborg> then a new ext2 which takes up the entire drive
[21:30] <kristian-aalborg> (card)
[21:33] <nit-wit> kristian-aalborg: wipe the card and under device create a partition table. You are familiar with the dropdown and creating types of partitions ext2 is not much help fat32 would be for data and ext4 for a install of most open source
[21:34] <kristian-aalborg> nit-wit: I chose ext2 because it should be seen by any kind of linux
[21:36] <nit-wit> kristian-aalborg: I would try a fat, the cards seems temperamental in being read it takes a bit of working with to find a working method. I have mine plugged in 16 gigs running Linuxmint10 as we speak as I type.
[21:37] <nit-wit> kristian-aalborg: with my sdhc card the only way it will remount is if I unmount it with the disc manager on a running OS
[21:38] <kristian-aalborg> once I have this card working it STAYS where it is
[21:42] <nit-wit> kristian-aalborg: so it seems to be only read by lucid is this correct
[21:42] <nit-wit> read=seen
[21:43] <kristian-aalborg> yes
[21:44] <kristian-aalborg> so this is weird
[21:45] <kristian-aalborg> I opened slitaz livecd to see if I could see it - I appearantly can't but the sum of the hda's I see is more than what I have
[21:47] <feros> hey hey :) Anyone that can help me here :)? Got some newbeginner issues in Ubuntu :)
[21:49] <nit-wit> feros: what are the issues
[21:49] <feros> *sniff sniff* Help :D? I cant get my microphone to work,
[21:49] <feros> have tryed a headset aswell,
[21:50] <feros> Get sound out, but not in,

[21:51] <nit-wit> feros: if your a new user that is not even released yet did you have this problem with any other distros
[21:51] <nit-wit> feros: there is also a #ubuntu+1 channel for natty
[21:51] <feros> oww, then its 10.10 or something :P The latest one. Installed it today,
[21:52] <feros> tryed that, nobody answered >:

[22:58] <sogepp> ok
[23:00] <udienz> sogepp: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam/
[23:00] <udienz> but you can ask questions at here
[23:01] <sogepp> ok
[23:02] <sogepp> well, i have something with my ubuntu, it can't reboot or shutdown, and no error message either
[23:03] <gstarx90> can it logout?
[23:04] <sogepp> yup
[23:04] <gstarx90> i usually get this problem, if you want to restart, open up a terminal and type in sudo reboot
[23:05] <sogepp> it just stuck in black page when i order it to restart or shutdown
[23:05] <sogepp> gstarx90 : i did, but not working
[23:06] <sogepp> i had to use ctrl+alt+del
[23:06] <gstarx90> alright
[23:07] <udienz> ot press CTRL+ALT+F1..F7
[23:07] <udienz> you got terminal
[23:07] <sogepp> ok,
[23:07] <sogepp> then...
[23:08] <gstarx90> type in sudo shutdown -r now
[23:08] <gstarx90> try that
[23:08] <sogepp> i've tried that many times, trust me,
[23:09]  * gstarx90 was thinking of reisub
[23:09] <sogepp> i've been asking this question on some forums too, nothing works, hehe
[23:09] <gstarx90> what happens if you type in the command
[23:10] <gstarx90> 'sudo reboot'
[23:10] <sogepp> it stuck on black page
[23:10] <sogepp> nothing else
[23:11] <sogepp> is there any ways to see my problem,
[23:11] <gstarx90> hm
[23:11] <gstarx90> well, i'm just here
[23:11] <gstarx90> but all i can think of is holding down alt and printscreen, and type in reisub while both keys are held down
[23:12] <sogepp> well, i can re-installing it , but i don't think it would solve the problem in the next future
[23:12] <sogepp> and, what's that for, i mean the function ???
[23:12] <gstarx90> http://kember.net/articles/reisub-the-gentle-linux-restart/
[23:13] <sogepp> is it means that ctrl+alt+del not save ???
[23:14]  * gstarx90 shrugs, that's the suggestion
[23:14] <sogepp> ew
[23:15] <sogepp> so we need holding alt+SysRq while typing r.e.i.s.u.b ?? right?
[23:16] <gstarx90> yes
[23:16] <sogepp> seems troublesome for me, haha
[23:17] <gstarx90> use your nose! xd
[23:17] <gstarx90> literaly
[23:17] <gstarx90> literally also
[23:18] <sogepp> wkwkwkwk, nice
[23:18] <gstarx90> it works?
[23:18] <gstarx90> awesomenesssssssss
[23:19] <sogepp> i haven't try it
[23:19] <gstarx90> ok
[23:41] <ibuclaw> sogepp, I miss ctrl+alt+backspace. :~)
[23:41] <ibuclaw> then again, that's showing my age.
[23:41] <sogepp> err, what's that suppose to mean ???
[23:42] <ibuclaw> well...
[23:42] <ibuclaw> in the good old days *gets pipe*
[23:43] <ibuclaw> X would have it's infrequent crash of some sort.
[23:44] <ibuclaw> like... once a month, maybe less frequent, maybe more... depending on whether or not you were using stable drivers installed 8-)
[23:44] <sogepp> then why they makes it disable
[23:45] <ibuclaw> in such circumstances, all was not lost, as you could just press a magic key combination and X would restart itself, and bring you back to the login screen as if nothing happened.
[23:45] <tenach> I really do miss ctrl+alt+backspace too, ibuclaw
[23:45] <tenach> :(
[23:45] <ibuclaw> X got stable, things got deprecated, confused several noisy users.
[23:46] <sogepp> and, how it's connected with my problem ??? ibuclaw
[23:46] <ibuclaw> sogepp, not connected in the slightest.
[23:46] <ibuclaw> I just saw REISUB with you name on it.
[23:46] <sogepp> ow,  i see
[23:46] <sogepp> ha ha
[23:47] <ibuclaw> and then drifted off into a trip down memory lane
[23:47] <sogepp> sigh, i got fustated with my 'reboot' problem
[23:48] <ibuclaw> sogepp, if you ever forget the other, just recite the paraphrase:
[23:48] <ibuclaw> Raising Elephants Is So Utterly Boring
[23:48] <sogepp> well, i can re-installing it, but won't solve the problem
[23:48] <sogepp> wkwkwk
[23:49] <sogepp> but the problem is, my dpkg got 'interupted' message
[23:49] <ibuclaw> dpkg got interrupted...
[23:49] <ibuclaw> usually that's a fault on your half xD
[23:50] <sogepp> E: dpkg was interupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a to correct the problem.
[23:50] <ibuclaw> that message should also tell you to run 'dpkg-configure -a'
[23:50] <sogepp> i did
[23:50] <sogepp> see the result http://pastebin.com/LZvZg2Ea
[23:51] <sogepp> and that's ain't solve my problem
[23:51] <sogepp> can someone show me how to learn linux system ???
[23:52] <sogepp> i need to know how it works, and maybe solve my own problem
[23:52] <sogepp> brb...
