[00:00] <josua> How can I make an own ubuntu distribution?
[00:00] <vex_> Okay.
[00:00] <VCoolio> Firartix: xrandr -q  to find your options; then: xrandr -s 1024x768
[00:00] <vex_> Well, thanks for the help cousteau.
[00:00] <vex_> Bye.
[00:00] <sam-_-> josua, why would you want to do that?
[00:00] <cousteau> vex_, anyway, the open source driver for your card should work ok,,, what do you get when you run   glxinfo | grep render   on a terminal?
[00:01] <Firartix> o yea worked with -s
[00:01] <Firartix> thanks alot VCoolio
[00:01] <VCoolio> you're welcome
[00:01] <josua> i want to have my own OS
[00:01] <CensoredBiscuit> My cousins windows machine flunked out, the idea of hooking them to ubuntu bothers me though as I would have to support it, to be or not to be.
[00:02] <sam-_-> CensoredBiscuit, then don't do it? :-)
[00:02] <JeopardySholdenK> josua I think that's way off the ubuntu-topic
[00:02] <shcherbak> josua: jubuntu?
[00:02] <jackdi0> hahaha
[00:02] <jackdi0> Jubuntu
[00:03] <CensoredBiscuit> Its like Ubuntu, just a J at the beginning
[00:03] <josua> no, maaybe something similar to the Ubuntu Christian edition
[00:03] <VCoolio> josua: look at remastersys for example
[00:03] <josua> maybe HolyUbuntu, or HolyLinux...
[00:03] <CensoredBiscuit> Is that even around anymore?
[00:04] <josua> yes, I think so
[00:04] <shcherbak> josua: check disto-watch, and yes, you can redistribute ubuntu base into "new" distro (do not expect to have support, tho)
[00:04] <CensoredBiscuit> I mean isn't a background and maybe a bible program enough?
[00:05] <JeopardySholdenK> yeah
[00:05] <JeopardySholdenK> amen
[00:05] <VCoolio> it would have to leave out gigolo when it's xfce based...
[00:05] <josua> why no support?
[00:05] <CensoredBiscuit> I can't think of anything else a  christain would need other than regular ubuntu
[00:06] <JeopardySholdenK> In the end josua computers are makings of evil
[00:06] <durando> guys i cant seem to figure out how to get my synaptics touchpad working any ideas?
[00:06] <pr0ph3t> reall
[00:06] <josua> yes, but they can be used also for good things
[00:06] <shcherbak> josua: there are even tools desinged to do it. No support because it is distro orientated, but if you do not drift far you can use same repos what base.
[00:06] <josua> are you guys christians, or any of you?
[00:06] <pr0ph3t> running runlevel 3 in ubutnu would boot to console or still go to x login?
[00:07] <VCoolio> josua: yes, but that's offtopic
[00:08] <pr0ph3t> sam-_-: I tried the combination you gave me and it responded rebooting the X login screen but still did not respond to keyboard or mouse or trackpad
[00:08] <CensoredBiscuit> Josua, I am.. but as far as my computer the idea of a christian ubuntu seems a bit unnecessary . I mean there are several good bible programs out there, what else would you nee?
[00:08] <VCoolio> pr0ph3t: still x, in ubuntu no difference except for 0 and 6 (or is it 1 and 6)
[00:09] <TaZeR> hey guys can someone give me a quick help-a-rino with something?
[00:09] <Advo> any reason why rsync -zxhvr  would be rscyincing files that already exist in the destination dir? nothing has changed between the files either..
[00:09] <ikonia> guys can you take your fantasty relogious ubuntu version topic to #ubuntu-offtopic or another channel, this one is just for support
[00:09] <josua> maybe religious icons, christian music or login sounds
[00:09] <shcherbak> josua: come my son (/join #ubuntu-offtopic), share the light of elightement.
[00:09] <CensoredBiscuit> sorry I was trying to answer his question, I got caught up.
[00:09] <TaZeR> i was wondering how to get the website packetfind.com working properly under ubuntu, so the links open in xchat?
[00:10] <TaZeR> such a bitch to xdcc now gotta do it manually
[00:10] <josua> how can i start creating an own distro?
[00:10] <ikonia> josua: that's not ontopic for this channel
[00:10] <CensoredBiscuit> josua, thats enough offtopic
[00:10] <josua> do I have to do it with my installed version, or need to download source-codes first?
[00:11] <ikonia> josua: please stop, it's not on-topic for this support channel
[00:11] <TaZeR> does any ubuntu professional know?
[00:11] <shcherbak> josua: /join #ubuntu-offtopic and ask robinetd, he'd love to help you.
[00:11] <pr0ph3t> VCoolio: so there is no way to avoid booting the X login. The keyboard seems to be recognised by the system as the escabe keys I tried alt+ SysRq + k worked somehow, but no responses on the login
[00:12] <TaZeR> can i speak with a manager?
[00:12] <ikonia> TaZeR: what do you want
[00:12] <sam-_-> !ask |TaZeR
[00:12] <TaZeR> i was wondering how to get packetfind.com working with ubuntu, so the links open in xchat and connect me to the server instead of opening a blank page
[00:12] <josua> ok, thanks
[00:13] <ikonia> TaZeR: no idea, try in #xchat
[00:13] <pr0ph3t> sorry I disconnected
[00:13] <TaZeR> so no one here uses xdcc search engines with ubuntu? gotta be some pirates around here who can help
[00:13] <ikonia> TaZeR: not going to discuss illegal activities, this is your only warning
[00:13] <JeopardySholdenK> Ok any newbie broplems here
[00:14] <TaZeR> buzz off ur a lamer
[00:14] <ikonia> JeopardySholdenK: pardon ?
[00:15] <CensoredBiscuit> can someone lazy link me to offtopic
[00:15] <JeopardySholdenK> ikonia: I just want to make my small contribution ?:| ?
[00:15] <ikonia> CensoredBiscuit: what ?
[00:15] <ikonia> JeopardySholdenK: if someone needs help, they will ask for it
[00:16] <JeopardySholdenK> ikonia: ok
[00:16] <Pici> CensoredBiscuit: #ubuntu-offtopic you mean?
[00:16] <CensoredBiscuit> thank you
[00:16] <shcherbak> CensoredBiscuit: /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[00:16] <hal> why do they do such silly things like remove easy access to the nautilus location bar? I just can't seen the sense in it :/
[00:18] <cousteau> is apt-xapian-index important? what would be the consequences of uninstalling it?
[00:18] <boss_mc> Howdy everyone, I'm looking for some kernel panic debugging guidance, I'm definitely starting to think it's a hardware issue but I'm trying to narrow down the component... I've tried memtest and that came back clean after 9 hours and 7 complete runs, so I doubt it's memory.  What should be my next step?
[00:19] <binkula> hi guys
[00:19] <binkula> I have a question about compiz: is it possible to have translucent windows by default?
[00:19] <ikonia> boss_mc: any patterns in the panic, or a regular "thing" that causes it
[00:19] <JeopardySholdenK> hi binkula
[00:19] <binkula> I've managed to toggle opacity with shortcut keys
[00:19] <Jemt> Hello. I'm remastering Ubuntu which is working fine (adding/removing software). I now want to add more keyboard layouts, which I did by creating the necessary configuration file in /home/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard&/kbd/ with the required layouts. Unfortunately Gnome doesn't pick up the entries. So it seems creating the file is not sufficient. Can someone help me ?
[00:19] <binkula> but I'm hoping for an automagic solution
[00:21] <Pici> binkula: iirc, there is a way to create transpareny 'rules' in ccsm, you could add all window classes to that and it would apply automatically.
[00:21] <boss_mc> ikonia: It seems fairly random, happens anywhere between 10 mins and three hours after I turn on the PC, happend much less frequently if I stop X and just leave top running, though it still panics if I run prime95's stress test without X running
[00:21] <Pici> binkula: Have you tried asking in #compiz ?
[00:21] <binkula> Pici, aaah good place to start thanks :(
[00:21] <binkula> :) *
[00:21] <binkula> Pici, haha no - I started out in #kubuntu
[00:21] <binkula> I will head there
[00:21] <ikonia> boss_mc: have you tried to capture any of the messages from the panic ?
[00:21] <binkula> but I'm also going to try your idea
[00:21] <boss_mc> ikonia: how would I get the panic text dump (I can see the last few lines in TTY1 after it panics if I'm not using X
[00:22] <boss_mc> ikonia, great minds think alike, shame I don't know how to collect the logs
[00:22] <ikonia> boss_mc: something like net-dump
[00:22] <boss_mc> ikonia, net-dump? I'll google it...
[00:23] <durando> hey guys how can i decrypt my private data folder i've been trying the instructions online but it says that the operation of mounting these encrypted files is not supported
[00:23] <Rypervenche> I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 and when I listen to certain mp3s the sound stops and gives me an error. After that Skype crashes and I have to restart my computer to get it to work again. Can anyone help?
[00:23] <spoken> hi everyone I'm looking for help getting wireless working on my dell laptop.
[00:24] <spoken> right now iwconfig just says "no wireless extensions" after eth0
[00:25] <dissolute> does anyone know how to deal with blurry chinese font rendering?
[00:25] <cousteau> dissolute, blurry as in pixeled?
[00:25] <boss_mc> ikonia, unless I'm failing at google, that's not supplied by canonical...?
[00:25] <mniejszezlo> hi, how can i set default window manager to metacity in 10.04?
[00:25] <CensoredBiscuit> spoken look for restricted drivers
[00:26] <dissolute> cousteau, no. I think they're being antialiased or something
[00:26] <ikonia> boss_mc: look in the repos
[00:26] <c0dered> .
[00:26] <psicobra> Hi all i have just installed ubuntu 10.10 worked great untilll i installed all the updates  then grub was screwed
[00:26] <psicobra> any suggestions
[00:26] <cousteau> dissolute, then maybe they are just too small
[00:26] <boss_mc> ikonia, apt knows nothing about it...
[00:27] <VCoolio> binkula: setting window transparancy also affects text and usability; try murrine gtk engine supporting transparant themes (rgba); e.g. http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Another+Gtk+RGBA+module+?content=100968
[00:27] <ikonia> boss_mc: look at crash
[00:27] <dnivra> psicobra, what happens when you try to boot?
[00:27] <Rypervenche> dissolute: What version of Ubuntu are you using?
[00:27] <cousteau> dissolute, you can try using a different font rendering method on Appearance > Fonts, try "Better shapes"
[00:27] <binkula> thanks VCoolio
[00:27] <psicobra> dnivra: just get the grub safe boot thing
 10.10
[00:28] <psicobra> dnivra: i can press tab and it lists commands but thats it
[00:28] <iroquois_> after updating 10.04 my minimize button closes firefox instead of minimizing,how could this be fixed?
[00:29] <dnivra> psicobra, you get a grub prompt?
[00:29] <psicobra> dnivra: i have reinstalled ubuntu twice same thing
[00:29] <psicobra> dnivra: yes
[00:29] <dissolute> http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/2097/screenshotsym.png
[00:29] <Rypervenche> dissolute: Go into your font options and then click uhhhh, wait what language is your Ubuntu in?
[00:29] <dissolute> that screenshot kind of shows it, especially in the bold characters.
[00:29] <dissolute> my installation is English
[00:30] <JeopardySholdenK> mniejszezlo: Try this: Goto System->Preferences->Appearance->VIsual Effects and click None.
[00:30] <psicobra> dnivra: normally get the option to select ubuntu or windows not there any more just the grub prompt
[00:30] <dnivra> psicobra, you reinstalled ubuntu twice? you should've just reinstalled grub. anyway even with a reinstall it doesn't get fixed? that's weird.
[00:30] <dnivra> psicobra, goes straight to the prompt?
[00:30] <psicobra> dnivra: yes
[00:30] <shcherbak> iroquois_: reset theme, or get ubuntu tweaks to set buttons again on order
[00:30] <psicobra> dnivra: how do i reinstall grub
[00:31] <dnivra> psicobra, well i really don't have much of a clue. try reinstalling grub; you did reinstall when you installed ubuntu but still-while you wait to see if someone else can help
[00:31] <psicobra> dnivra: how do i reinstall grub
[00:31] <dnivra> psicobra, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 has the instructions

[00:44] <sparrW> I need to make files on a machine with an ubuntu live cd available over the network to another computer. Without an internet connection, there seems to not be a SMB or FTP server on the live cd. Are there other options?
[00:44] <asdfasdf_> I am trying to recover some documents for someone who has Windows Vista, using a live ubuntu CD. Should I normally be able to see the users documents under C:\Users\username\documents (the documents folder is empty)

[00:45] <shcherbak> hal: press user, please to be promped for password.
[00:45] <dnivra> sparrW, i guess you could install them? or you could use scp to copy. the other computer should have ssh-server running.
[00:45] <cousteau> (this is, the drive which has Windows installed)
[00:46] <hal> shcherbak: ahhh :)
[00:46] <asdfasdf_> cousteau: I have done that, that is how I know that C:\Users\username\documents is empty

[00:50] <hal> I've tried escaping it with a backslash, but this causes the issue from before
[00:50] <aeon-ltd> hal: use quotes on the whole path name
[00:51] <hal> aeon-ltd: do you mean all the paths or just the part of the PATH that cotains the space?
[00:51] <itaylor57> KM0201: its amazing if you get a linux compatable computer and have no windowz or compiz, how ubuntu has no problems or issues?

[01:17] <coleslaw> hey can someone tell me how i'd import a virtubalbox vdi from another user's ubuntu login?   it says access denied
[01:18] <coleslaw> or permission denied
[01:18] <dnivra> coleslaw, i think you do not have permissions to access the vdi file?
[01:18] <coleslaw> i imaging i have to do something with the vdi permissions file, but i dont kow what
[01:18]  * skraito say hi all
[01:18] <coleslaw> dnivra: i don't think so, do you know how i can get them?
[01:19] <dnivra> coleslaw, what does ls -l <vdifilename> say?
[01:19] <coleslaw> i want to learn to make a file to where every user on the machine can access/edit it
[01:19] <londonmet050> any one
[01:20] <coleslaw> -rw------- 1 avery avery 1911595520 2010-12-18 18:40 Windows XP.vdi
[01:20] <coleslaw> avery@Locutus:/share/WindowsXP$
[01:20] <coleslaw> says that
[01:20] <dnivra> coleslaw, notice "rw-------". it means only avery has read and write permissions.
[01:20] <JeopardySholdenK> londonmet050 put all in one post
[01:20] <coleslaw> i see
[01:21] <dnivra> coleslaw, that's weird; you're logged in as avery now?
[01:21] <londonmet050> JeopardySholdenK: ?
[01:21] <coleslaw> yes
[01:21] <coleslaw> i'd like to add user "jennifer" to it so she can hvae read/write access
[01:21] <londonmet050> JeopardySholdenK:  Trying to write to NTFS based external hd. But getting input/output error
[01:21] <coleslaw> im logged into the account i used to create the virtual machine right now
[01:22] <dnivra> coleslaw, oh! i thought avery had problems accessing it. open up a terminal and run the command "chmod 666 Windows\ XP.vdi" without the quotes
[01:22] <coleslaw> i have this sort of problem with all sorts of files.  i'd like to know how to change these permissions
[01:22] <coleslaw> ok
[01:22] <dnivra> coleslaw, alternative, you can right click the file -> properties -> permissions.
[01:23] <coleslaw> thanks :)
[01:23] <coleslaw> what does chmod 666 mean
[01:23] <JeopardySholdenK> londonmet: Does it say precisly that? --- Error message - please.
[01:23] <dnivra> coleslaw, no problem :)
[01:23] <dnivra> !permissions | coleslaw
[01:23] <JeopardySholdenK> londonmet050: Does it say precisly that? --- Error message - please.
[01:23] <coleslaw> can i do that to any file i want people to be able to access
[01:23] <cousteau> coleslaw, it changes the file permissions to the "evil" mode: read/write permissions for everybody
[01:24] <dnivra> coleslaw, do read the link ubottu gave you ^^
[01:24] <coleslaw> i will, i bookmarked it
[01:24] <coleslaw> thanks a lot guys
[01:24] <coleslaw> when i made this shared directory to put the virtual machine in, i did with typing 777 in the command to create it
[01:24] <coleslaw> whats that mean
[01:24] <coleslaw> someone here said to to that
[01:24] <dnivra> coleslaw, as cousteau said 666 changes to "evil" mode: read/write access to everyone :).
[01:25] <coleslaw> chmod = change mode or something i take it?
[01:25] <dnivra> coleslaw, yeah. do go through the link.
[01:25] <coleslaw> ok i will, thanks!
[01:25] <coleslaw> apprecaite it
[01:26] <cousteau> owner-group-others; 4=read, 2=write, 1=execute; so read+write=6 and 666 means that the owner, group and others will have read-write permissions to it
[01:26] <JeopardySholdenK> londonmet050?
[01:27] <C00re> the number of the beast
[01:27] <londonmet050> JeopardySholdenK:  Error creating directory input/output error
[01:29] <dnivra> cousteau, noticed coleslaw left just a little before that?
[01:29] <cousteau> dnivra, isn't it obvious that I didn't?
[01:29] <metalman> alguém do brasil pode me recomendar uns canais, não uso o irc há uns 3 ou 4 anos... OBRIGADO
[01:30] <dnivra> cousteau, i know; so pointing out :).
[01:30] <cousteau> !br
[01:30] <nataventura> hello
[01:31] <nataventura> how do you uninstall linux from the desktop edition?
[01:31] <JeopardySholdenK> londonmet050 is it so that You have been using Your external drive for so far so good in windows?
[01:31] <londonmet050> JeopardySholdenK: I am only used it with media player
[01:32] <londonmet050> and always copied from OSX
[01:32] <londonmet050> and then Ubuntu
[01:33] <binkula> hi JimmyJ
[01:33] <JimmyJ> Hello.
[01:33] <binkula> you're not from chatjunkies by any chance are you?
[01:33] <JeopardySholdenK> londonmet050 so you mean that You have just attached to Your current Ubuntu?
[01:33] <londonmet050> yes
[01:34] <londonmet050> JeopardySholdenK: yes
[01:34] <JeopardySholdenK> londonmet050 well...
[01:34] <JeopardySholdenK> londonmet050 your drive is partly corrupted - Ubuntu tells it while others stay quiet. :)
[01:35] <londonmet050> So I have to earse it
[01:35] <londonmet050> what tools are there to repair the file system
[01:35] <CensoredBiscuit> Gparted
[01:35] <CensoredBiscuit> Live CD
[01:35] <CensoredBiscuit> Trinty Rescue CD
[01:36] <CensoredBiscuit> Sysrecue
[01:36] <londonmet050> ok
[01:36] <CensoredBiscuit> personally I recommend Trinty Rescue CD
[01:36] <JeopardySholdenK> memtest86+, badblocks, smartctl
[01:36] <londonmet050> well it repair without deleting stuff
[01:36] <JeopardySholdenK> londonmet050 memtest86+, badblocks, smartctl
[01:37] <londonmet050> JeopardySholdenK: Well any of these repair without data being lost
[01:37] <JeopardySholdenK> londonmet050 don't know :D
[01:37] <JeopardySholdenK> londonmet050 perhaps you'll take some hit ;)
[01:38] <londonmet050> well I am just wondering
[01:38] <londonmet050> I can create new directories but sometimes it is yelling
[01:38] <londonmet050> So I take it as NTFS corrupted
[01:39] <JeopardySholdenK> Look this londonmet050: http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-faq/    --->>> What does the “I/O error” mean?
[01:39] <londonmet050> JeopardySholdenK: I tried to copy something it did
[01:40] <swim> hey, why is my theme always changing?
[01:40]  * skraito say hi all
[01:40] <londonmet050> JeopardySholdenK:  Thanks
[01:42] <aeon-ltd> swim: more details
[01:42] <JeopardySholdenK> londonmet050: np
[01:43] <swim> aeon-ltd idk, it seems like many times i restart my computer, the theme changes..  if i select a specific theme, then within the next couple boots, it'll change itself, and it will always have the custom selected in the themes selection app under system, preferences, appearance, themes
[01:44] <londonmet050> CensoredBiscuit: You think trinty rescue cd can reapir ntfs file system
[01:44] <chills518> I got wireless to connect but I have to run both "sudo modprobe lib8021" and "insmod wl.ko" every time I boot to get it to connect.  How can I make this a permanent change so it connects automatically on bootup?
[01:44] <industry__> chills518: you can add it to your init scripts
[01:45] <CensoredBiscuit> It might personally I know of it. My professor recommends it, so Its worth a shot right?
[01:45] <sam-_-> chills518 put it in /etc/modules
[01:45] <industry__> i.e. crontab -e, add an entry called @reboot
[01:45] <londonmet050> CensoredBiscuit:  in school?
[01:46] <sam-_-> industry, why not /etc/modules
[01:46] <sam-_-> industry, much easier
[01:46] <CensoredBiscuit> I don't know alot of NTFS
[01:46] <industry__> yeah good point you have sam, it's because i forgot about that file
[01:47] <chills518> do I just add those two lines to the modules file?
[01:47] <sam-_-> chills518 yes. without the extension .ko
[01:48] <chills518> kk... will do it now and let you know.  thank you both for the input...
[01:48] <sam-_-> and put wl.ko in /lib/modules somewhere
[01:49] <chills518> do I need the sudo in from as well or just "modprobe lib8021" and "insmod wl.ko"?
[01:49] <chills518> *in front
[01:50] <sam-_-> chills518, no. just the name of module. no modprobe. no sudo
[01:51] <forestbear> hey guys
[01:51] <greezmunkey> .
[01:51] <forestbear> can someone check if something iswrong with my fstab file?
[01:51] <forestbear> http://pastebin.com/Qch6qRJV
[01:51] <spencer_> hey guys, I need to know how to write a filder to an ISO
[01:51] <CensoredBiscuit> hey forestbear welcome to #ubuntu
[01:51] <sam-_-> chills518, modprobe looks  in the module directory /lib/modules/`uname -r` for all the modules and other files,
[01:51] <Jemt> spencer_: Look up genisoimage
[01:51] <CensoredBiscuit> Spencer_ use Brasero
[01:52] <CensoredBiscuit> if your using ubuntu already that is
[01:52] <sam-_-> chills518, make sure wl.ko is stored somewhere in this dir
[01:52] <spencer_> checking brasero
[01:52] <swim> hey, does anybody know of an app that is like "startup disk creater" that I can install which will allow me to create boot usbs for OSs like debian, DSL, puppy and the likes???
[01:52] <sam-_-> chills518, you compiled wl.ko yourself right?
[01:52] <greezmunkey> Jemt: Hadn't heard of that one, thanks :)
[01:52] <Jemt> :)
[01:52] <spencer_> censoredbiscuit I'm modifying a boot disc, will that still let me make it a boot disc?
[01:53] <CensoredBiscuit> Yea.
[01:53] <chills518> yeah.  I downloaded it from a page and went through the "make" process if that is what you are meaning.. this is all kind of new to me...
[01:53] <spencer_> censoredbiscuit aww yeeaa thanks a ton man
[01:53] <CensoredBiscuit> I use it to burn copies of ubuntu all the time Spencer_
[01:53] <CensoredBiscuit> No worries thats what i'm here fore
[01:53] <CensoredBiscuit> for*
[01:53] <forestbear> cuz I can't boot into ubuntu
[01:54] <greezmunkey> swim: You could take a look around at bootdisk.com for some ideas.
[01:54] <forestbear> in particular i noticed that when it says "ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/xxxx doesn't exist!", the entire /dev/disk/by-uuid folder doesn't exist
[01:54] <swim> cool, thanks
[01:54] <ao> anyone know how to adjust screen resolution in ubuntu 9.04 beyond what is listed in system preferences display?
[01:54] <forestbear> so if anyone could help tha would be great :D
[01:58] <greezmunkey> forestbear: what error do you get on boot?
[01:59] <forestbear> greezmunkey: "ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/xxxx doesn't exist!"
[01:59] <sam-_-> ao, are you sure your hardware supports it?
[01:59] <greezmunkey> forestbear: you should be able to run sudo blkid to see the uuids available
[02:01] <ao> sam: not sure... how can i check?
[02:02] <JeopardySholdenK> See you later alligators! ;)
[02:02] <Jordan_U> forestbear: That most likely means that none of your partitions are being recognized. /dev/disk/by-uuid/ only exists when there are entries to go in it.
[02:02] <forestbear> greezmunkey: the uuids are correct
[02:02] <forestbear> jordan_u: how do i fix that?
[02:03] <Guest5813> boa noite?
[02:03] <error_203> jordan_U: are u a chess player
[02:03] <Guest5813> ?
[02:03] <Jordan_U> !ot | error_203
[02:03] <londonmet050> CensoredBiscuit: Thanks for info
[02:04] <Jordan_U> forestbear: Has Ubuntu ever worked on this machine?
[02:04] <CensoredBiscuit> someone say something just before I cleared my screen to mee
[02:04] <CensoredBiscuit> what was it?
[02:04] <forestbear> jordan_u: yes for a long time
[02:04] <Jordan_U> 18:05 < londonmet050> CensoredBiscuit: Thanks for info
[02:05] <forestbear> jordan_u: only recently it stopped
[02:05] <aeon-ltd> CensoredBiscuit: "LONDONMET050: CENSOREDBISCUIT: Thanks for info"
[02:05] <Jordan_U> forestbear: Does it work if you select an older kernel?
[02:05] <CensoredBiscuit> londonmet050 sorry I couldnt help more, just knew the names of things that Might help
[02:05] <greezmunkey> Jordan_U: so should he force a fsck an see what it finds? Or will that even work?
[02:05] <londonmet050> CensoredBiscuit: Every little bit helps
[02:06] <forestbear> Jordan_U: I actually removed the older entries from my grub boot list thing.... :/
[02:06] <cdtx21x> hola
[02:06] <Jordan_U> greezmunkey: I expect that it's a problem with missing/broken drivers in the initrd.
[02:07] <CryptoSec> hey I was wondering if I can use the 10.04 amd64 bit CD I just downloaded to install it on my Intel processor? or is it only for AMD base processors?
[02:07] <greezmunkey> Jordan_U: forestbear how did you edit grub?
[02:07] <Jordan_U> CryptoSec: Yes, Intel uses the AMD64 architecture.
[02:07] <forestbear> greezmunkey: using the kubuntu startup editor thing (though I use ubuntu, not kubuntu)
[02:08] <CensoredBiscuit> hey guys how can I set permission for a partition that is empty?
[02:08] <CensoredBiscuit> and unmounted
[02:08] <chills518> sam-_-:  I put both "lib80211" and "wl" into the modules file and after reboot it was still not auto connecting.  strange..
[02:08] <CensoredBiscuit> at any specfic location
[02:09] <industry__>  you mount it, then you set permissions. then unmount it.
[02:10] <CryptoSec> good to know... but why don't they just label it ubuntu 64-bit   instead of AMD64... I can see it confusing a lot of people...
[02:10] <CensoredBiscuit> do i have to login as root to do that industry_?
[02:10] <industry__> it's called amd because amd made up the instruction set, i think
[02:10] <sam-_-> chills518, did you copy you wl file into the modules dir
[02:10] <industry__> andyes, you have to be root
[02:10] <itaylor57> CryptoSec: historical thing made made for amd first
[02:11] <cardona507> does ubuntu come with a .bashrc file out of the box? and if so where may I find it? thanks
[02:11] <CensoredBiscuit> industry so that requires unlocking my root
[02:11] <sam-_-> chills518, you may have to run "sudo depod -a" after that
[02:11] <sam-_-> chills518, you may have to run "sudo depmod -a" after that
[02:11] <CensoredBiscuit> cardona507,
[02:11] <industry__> are you locked out?
[02:11] <chills518> it is in "/lib/modules/2.6.35-23-generic/kernel/net/wireless"  will this not work?
[02:11] <Jordan_U> CryptoSec: Intel had a 64 bit only (could not run 32 bit code) architecture before AMD came up with an architecture that was backwards compatible. Though that's mostly history now, so I agree just "64 bit" might be better.
[02:11] <CensoredBiscuit> industry_ I keep it locked
[02:11] <lacy> can someone help me connect my ubuntu server to a windows share?
[02:11] <greezmunkey> forestbear: look in /etc/default/grub are there any backup grub files evident?
[02:11] <cardona507> CensoredBiscuit: yes?
[02:12] <CryptoSec> also the netbook isn't particularly for my thinkpad notebook? correct? I should be okay with the Desktop version
[02:12] <CensoredBiscuit> Go to home/user/ then go to view > hidden items and then look for .bashrc
[02:12] <itaylor57> Jordan_U: better explaination than mine :>)
[02:12] <sam-_-> chills518, run "sudo depmod -a" then try modprobe wl. what does it say?
[02:12] <CensoredBiscuit> unless you want the root on
[02:12] <CensoredBiscuit> then go to root and do the same
[02:12] <cardona507> how do I view hidden items from the command line?
[02:12] <Jordan_U> greezmunkey: Settings for update-grub are stored in /etc/default/grub, actual entries are stored in /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
[02:12] <itaylor57> CryptoSec: desktop will work fine
[02:13] <CensoredBiscuit> they should already show
[02:13] <Jordan_U> cardona507: ls -a
[02:13] <lacy> I am getting an error that says mount error(127): Key has expired when I try to mount the share
[02:13] <itaylor57> CryptoSec: running desktop on a 13 inch
[02:13] <chills518> no results after modprobe wl... hmmm
[02:14] <sam-_-> chills518, it says nothing. then everything is fine
[02:14] <greezmunkey> Jordan_U: I'm on shaky ground, but was asking him to see if the tool he used to edit grub may have made a copy of the original.
[02:14] <CryptoSec> Jordan_U: I agree.. hey ... everything that I have is in AMD.... first time bought an Intel base processor... but for an average person visiting the web site I think just displaying "ubantu-64bit.iso" makes a lot more sense...
[02:14] <sam-_-> chills518, try rebooting now
[02:14] <chills518> sounds good... brb... thank you
[02:14] <CryptoSec> I actually have w500 with a real good graphics card...  I made sure of that....
[02:15] <itaylor57> CryptoSec: you will be more happy with desktop of netbook unity
[02:15] <greezmunkey> forestbear: did you see Jordan_U's response about /boot/grub/grub.cfg ? Look in /boot/grub to see if there is a backup file.
[02:15] <forestbear> ok
[02:16] <CryptoSec> what-a!  is there Bot in freenode?
[02:16] <Jordan_U> CryptoSec: There is a bug report about that here if you want to look at the reasoning given for keeping things the way they are: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/322372
[02:16] <cardona507> is getting auto completion on tab from bash something that I would put in .bashrc?
[02:16] <aeon-ltd> cardona507: no its a built in function to have tab-completion
[02:17] <forestbear> greezmunkey, jordan_u: I have a backup, seems quite old though, from when I updated from 9.04
[02:17] <cardona507> i created a linode ubuntu last night and hte .bashrc file that it came with is workable - today i am working on a boss's server and his .bashrc file is the same as my other one but it isn't taking effect
[02:17] <Jordan_U> CryptoSec: Sorry, after loading the entire page (bad connection on my end) I see that bug report isn't very usefull.
[02:17] <itaylor57> cardona507: its a part of standard bash
[02:17] <chills518> sam-_-:  worked perfect!  thank you very much!!
[02:17] <lacy> I'm using the command: sudo mount -t cifs //server-ip/foldershare/ -o username=Guest,password= /home/user/folder
[02:17] <cardona507> is there any reason it wouldn't be happening?
[02:17] <greezmunkey> forestbear: yeah, I would tell you to use that one.
[02:17] <CryptoSec> is there a freenode bot?? what's going on here I guess freenode is turning into yahoo-chat
[02:17] <greezmunkey> forestbear: I meant to type not use that one!!!
[02:17] <forestbear> greezmunkey: okay I'll try it
[02:17] <forestbear> oh
[02:17] <sam-_-> chills518, sure np
[02:17] <jnor> how can i have secure read write access to my ext4 partitions in Windows?
[02:17] <forestbear> phew
[02:18] <greezmunkey> forestbear: no!
[02:18] <Jordan_U> forestbear: How did you remove the older kernels?
[02:18] <Shadowjedi01> Hi there
[02:18] <Shadowjedi01> are any of you ubuntu guru's?
[02:18] <greezmunkey> forestbear:  there sould have been a "'nt" at the end of "would"...
[02:19] <Shadowjedi01> I'm having issues with my Evolution client
[02:19] <industry__>  as far as i know, thereis no way to access a extzf from windows
[02:19] <itaylor57> Shadowjedi01: we are willing helpers here
[02:19] <Shadowjedi01> anyone care to give me a hand
[02:19] <cardona507> i feel like this bash is crippled - I wonder whats up?
[02:19] <Shadowjedi01> awesome
[02:19] <forestbear> Jordan_U: with the kubuntu startup editor thing, I don't think that's the problem though as it booted fine for a while even after I changed the menu
[02:19] <greezmunkey> forestbear: so, there is a grub.cfg file present?
[02:19] <CryptoSec> Jordan_U: thanks for the inquiry
[02:19] <luneth95> anyone know how to fix (process:346): GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0) error?
[02:19] <itaylor57> Shadowjedi01: whats the probleim
[02:19] <cardona507> it's won't even auto complete with tab
[02:19] <chills518> sam-_-: if I make changes the modules file do I need to run the depmod -a each time?
[02:19] <Shadowjedi01> ok
[02:19] <industry__> oh wow, i mean ext4
[02:19] <sam-_-> jnor, what do you mean by secure?
[02:19] <Shadowjedi01> hold on let me open it up
[02:19] <cardona507> there are no colors - its all black and white
[02:19] <cardona507> yet the .bashrc file is the same as my other ubuntu
[02:19] <sam-_-> chills518, no
[02:20] <forestbear> greezmunkey: nope, in /boot/grub there is no grub.cfg file
[02:20] <sam-_-> chills518, but if you update your kernel you have to rebuild wl.ko and run depmod again
[02:20] <Shadowjedi01> unable to authenticate imap server
[02:20] <industry__> cardona, you are probably using dash, not bash. check to see wha shell you're running
[02:20] <Shadowjedi01> I've been trying to sync it with my gmail all day and I'm about to rip out my hair
[02:20] <jnor> sam-_-: before when I had access to my ext2 partitions from windows, I had always mandatory disk check at linux boot
[02:21] <greezmunkey> forestbear: booting my buntu box now.
[02:21] <itaylor57> Shadowjedi01: checking
[02:21] <Jordan_U> forestbear: Do you have more than one vmlinuz-2.6.* file in /boot/?
[02:21] <jnor> sam-_-: I want a software that wouldn't harm my ext4 partition
[02:21] <chills518> sam-_-: kk... thanks...
[02:21] <luneth95> um hello?  can someone help me with (process:346): GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0) error
[02:21] <luneth95> it wont even let me get to the desktop
[02:22] <Sazpaimon> so I made a USB image of ubuntu using the universal USB installer, but when I try to boot it on my laptop, it says "SYSLINUX" with the version info and just reboots
[02:22] <Shadowjedi01> I never knew this IRC resource was available to me before
[02:22] <rww> CryptoSec: the FloodBots are used by #ubuntu to help prevent spam. They're not freenode-owned.
[02:22] <Jordan_U> Sazpaimon: What OS did you create the USB from and what version of Ubuntu were you putting on the USB?
[02:22] <Shadowjedi01> this kicks the shit out of browsing throng the forums
[02:23] <bl01zk> Are there any software packages on Ubuntu that will let me wireless into a computer that is ran in terminal?
[02:23] <nit-wit> Shadowjedi01, it has its limitations
[02:23] <Shadowjedi01> such as?
[02:23] <forestbear> jordan_u: yes, many
[02:23] <Shadowjedi01> well I don't expect any of you to compile a whole new distro for me
[02:24]  * KM0201 has a massive headache
[02:24] <luneth95> ummmmm hello??? any person gonna help me with my problem?
[02:24] <itaylor57> Shadowjedi01: http://wazem.blogspot.com/2007/10/hot-to-configure-imap-on-evolution-and.html
[02:24] <Sazpaimon> Jordan_U, windows 7 for the first one, let me get back to you for the second question, I made it a while ago
[02:24] <luneth95> is pissed off no one will help
[02:24] <CryptoSec> rww: oh that makes sense.... good idea... but wouldn't naming it SpamBlocker would a lot better and less alarming?  just an idea...
[02:24] <Shadowjedi01> I'll check it out
[02:24] <Shadowjedi01> thanks taylor
[02:24] <Sazpaimon> you know what, I may as well just make one from scratch again
[02:24] <Jordan_U> !patience | luneth95

[02:24] <MeXiOuS> hi everyone, just wondering if there are any asterisk gurus here?
[02:24] <luneth95> oh ok
[02:24] <Sazpaimon> I'm trying to boot this on a pavilion ZE5500 i found by a dumpster
[02:24] <rww> CryptoSec: They're bots that stop floods. The floods happen to be mostly spam (and confused new users) ;)
[02:25] <Sazpaimon> will ubuntu support the oldass hardware on this, notably the wireless
[02:25] <nit-wit> Shadowjedi01, a really complex proble some times at the least needs to be done in a dialogue that may include pastebin text and pictures. Also just a lot of help that is sketchy, a person has to know when there help is not helping.
[02:25] <Sazpaimon> http://bizsupport1.austin.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c00047498&lang=en&cc=us&taskId=101&prodSeriesId=367703&prodTypeId=321957 here's the spec page
[02:25] <lexvegas> Does anyone know if i can transfer my GPG/PGP key to multiple computers by just copying the directory it is in under my home folder?
[02:25] <Shadowjedi01> nit, I totally understand what you mean
[02:25] <metrix> is there a way to boot a windows partition from grub that isn't in the grub list?
[02:26] <industry__> lexvegas: try it out and tell us
[02:26] <CryptoSec> rww: true... I give you that one...
[02:26] <error_203> what is tree command stands for?
[02:26] <nit-wit> Shadowjedi01, good group of people though we all fail at times. ;)
[02:26] <dw-> lexvegas: wouldnt that overwrite your keyring
[02:26] <CryptoSec> rww: smart idea...
[02:26] <Shadowjedi01> yea
[02:26] <Jordan_U> metrix: Yes, but usually if update-grub doesn't find a windows installation it's because it's not actually bootable (missing its system partition for example).
[02:26] <Shadowjedi01> I just want to give back to the community
[02:26] <greezmunkey> forestbear: can you paste /boot/grub/grub.cfg to paste.ubuntu.com please
[02:26] <Shadowjedi01> I have been using ubuntu for about 2 years now
[02:26] <dw-> lexvegas: make a backup. verify the backup.
[02:26] <Shadowjedi01> and I am fairly good
[02:26] <Shadowjedi01> but not a pro by any measure
[02:27] <lexvegas> industry__, the problem is that i need to reinstall, but i only have one computer that i can test on.
[02:27] <itaylor57> Shadowjedi01: glad it worked
[02:27] <lexvegas> dw-, can i use keyring to do that?
[02:27] <Jordan_U> forestbear: Make that your /boot/grub/menu.lst.
[02:27] <Shadowjedi01> itaylor57, I tried configuring it to pop earlier and it gave me the same message
[02:27] <metrix> Jordan_u the problem is I can't get grub to work on my laptop, even after re-installing.. so  I wanted to run it directly from a usb grub
[02:27] <Jordan_U> greezmunkey: forestbear is using grub legacy.
[02:27] <dw-> lexvegas: just backup anything you overwrite by making a proper copy of all the hidden files
[02:27] <industry__> ah. but you should still backup your keys, then einstall.
[02:27] <lexvegas> dw-, alright sounds good
[02:28] <greezmunkey> Jordan_U: ah, I guess I missed that, I'l beg off.
[02:28] <Jordan_U> metrix: What problem are you having with grub specifically?
[02:28] <User51> can somebody help me with a small question?
[02:28] <ActionParsnip> ask away User51
[02:28] <Jordan_U> greezmunkey: He never said it explicitly, I just assumed that from the lack of a /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
[02:28] <Shadowjedi01> itaylor57, but there is lots of good info in this blog you gave me
[02:28] <forestbear> greezmunkey, jordan_u:

[02:29] <itaylor57> Shadowjedi01: overall evolution has worked forme
[02:29] <MeXiOuS> does anyone know how to fix this error in asterisk loaded to ubuntu? "app_playback.c: ast_streamfile failed on SIP/ for custom" "No such file or directory"
[02:29] <User51> i want to know how to get the addres bar like in Windos example D:/Documents/123/
[02:29] <User51> windows*
[02:29] <Shadowjedi01> itaylor57, yea I had it set up with my hotmail account but then I want away to army basic and forgot my password  so I had to start an entirely new account
[02:29] <Shadowjedi01> and with my hotmail account it worked fine
[02:30] <Jordan_U> forestbear: Are you familiar with the "chroot" command?
[02:30] <forestbear> jordan_u: is that similar to chown?
[02:30] <metrix> jordan_u: after running my Windows 7 partition grub is destroyed (possibly a virus? I've scanned several times, can't find anything) I had to re-install grub.. after it is re-installed, my Toshiba nb205 hangs where grub loads.

[02:30] <Shadowjedi01> itaylor57, Officer or Enlisted?
[02:30] <Jordan_U> forestbear: No. It's a way of running commands from a system you're not booted into, as if you were. (changes the apparent root directory).
[02:31] <XshoppyX> User51: You are going to have to use the congif-editor and change a value in there to show the location bar

[02:32] <greezmunkey> forestbear: paste the output of the "mount" command
[02:33] <Jordan_U> forestbear: No, that's the device name. The mount point is the directory through which you can access the files on that partition.

[02:39] <lacy> r00t4rd3d, no I have not -do I need to do that?
[02:39] <r00t4rd3d> login into windows and make sure the pass is still good

[02:40] <forestbear> Jordan_U: if it's possible to accomplish in windows I'd prefer that
[02:40] <forestbear> and yes I can access the partiion

[02:53] <Osaka> hello :)
[02:53] <lcd15000> @purp you can mount iso files with the mount command
[02:54] <sam-_-> numberz, sry for my ignorance but i really don't understand
[02:54] <luneth95>  Jordan_U: I got tired of loging in as live use so I made my acc and set to autologon to the new acc

[02:54] <purp> thanks
[02:54] <ActionParsnip> purp: sudo mkdir /media/iso ; sudo mount -o loop /path/to/file.iso /media/iso    Linux has had this functionality for AGES, windows needs 3rd party apps because it is very lacking
[02:55] <ActionParsnip> purp: in that command, all you need to do is change the file.iso name and path, you can then use the same mount point for future mounts of iso files
[02:55] <Etreus> buenos dias... hay algun canal para español... soy de paraguay...
[02:55] <ActionParsnip> !es
[02:55] <purp> gotcha..appreciate that...
[02:55] <icesword> what doyou mean by very lacking?
[02:55] <purp> didn't realize it was that easy
[02:56] <purp> right click or the mounting option
[02:56] <ActionParsnip> purp: np, simple things lad. There are nautilus scripts which allow you to mount and unmount in nautilus but I dont use gui much for that sort of jazz
[02:56] <pokir> I've used windows all my life, is it worth it/will it be hard to switch to ubuntu? i realize i won't be able to play as many games but is that the only downside? ... and on the game note is there any kind of VM or something I could use to run games?
[02:56] <r00t4rd3d> pokir, wine
[02:56] <EnigmaticCoder> pokir: Or you could dual boot and use Windows only for games
[02:57] <ActionParsnip> pokir: depends on the individual
[02:57] <Etreus> #ubuntu-es
[02:57] <ActionParsnip> pokir: depends what games
[02:57] <r00t4rd3d> anything with punkbuster and your beat
[02:57] <ActionParsnip> pokir: virtualisation will run games pretty poorly
[02:57] <ActionParsnip> r00t4rd3d: urbanterror uses it as far as I remember
[02:58] <EnigmaticCoder> pokir: Ubuntu isn't too hard, in my opinion. You can use it almost like it is Windows, if you want. My parents use it and they aren't very computer literate. I help them if anything goes wrong, however
[02:58] <PeterFabinskiMbl> ActionParsnip, pm me
[02:58] <sam-_-> can someone explain to me why some people find it rude to pm them without asking them first? honest question
[02:59] <PeterFabinskiMbl> sam-_-, i dont
[02:59] <r00t4rd3d> other people can benefit from your q/a too
[02:59] <EnigmaticCoder> sam-_-: I've heard someone say that they don't like another blinking tab on top of all the other tabs they have open. I don't mind it though
[02:59] <luneth95> ummm poiple?
[03:00] <luneth95> how do I change wo I logon as?
[03:00] <luneth95> because I'm stuck at (process:346): GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0)
[03:00] <r00t4rd3d> su name
[03:00] <PeterFabinskiMbl> r00t4rd3d, i guess so
[03:00] <luneth95> is that the command?
[03:00] <luneth95> su name?
[03:01] <r00t4rd3d> um i dont think su will help with that error
[03:01] <feanor2> how to install mandriva
[03:01] <wedwo-> sam-_-, if you arrived here looking for help and found everyone busy in PM sessions and not answering you you'd be irked. And then the "support" part of this chanel would cease to exist.
[03:01] <lcd15000> no thoughs on LVM vs XFW?
[03:01] <feanor2> s rmp in debian?
[03:01] <luneth95> then what might help with that error?
[03:02] <lcd15000> *XFS
[03:02] <sam-_-> wedwo-, i didn't think of that
[03:02] <pokir> so it wouldn't be too hard to replace windows then?  everything I've seen from people at college it looked really complex and problems are hard to figure out but maybe thats just because I've never used it before
[03:02] <Te3-BloodyIron> hey, I'm trying to restart my X session as it's frozen, but restarting GDM hasn't done anything and I can't find a useful pid to kill. what can i do besides rebooting?
[03:02] <ActionParsnip> Te3-BloodyIron: ALT+K+PrintScreen
[03:02] <EnigmaticCoder> pokir: Why replace windows instead of dual booting?
[03:03] <ActionParsnip> pokir: probably inexperience making it look hard, its simple
[03:03] <feanor2> pokir, try wubi, it's the best method by far
[03:03] <Te3-BloodyIron> ActionParsnip: what does that do?
[03:03] <ActionParsnip> Te3-BloodyIron: restarts the X server
[03:03] <PeterFabinskiMbl> is there a way to see 2 OSes at the same time
[03:03] <Te3-BloodyIron> any way i can do this through ssh?
[03:04] <EnigmaticCoder> PeterFabinskiMbl: What do you mean see 2 OSes?
[03:04] <ActionParsnip> Te3-BloodyIron: kill GDM will do it
[03:04] <r00t4rd3d> luneth95, your using an old version of a live cd ?
[03:04] <Te3-BloodyIron> i tried t.t
[03:04] <Te3-BloodyIron> any other ways?
[03:04] <feanor2> how to know what installed package size is?
[03:04] <EnigmaticCoder> PeterFabinskiMbl: You can view files on two OSes at the same time
[03:04] <lcd15000> PeterFabinskiMbi: sure, but in what context?
[03:04] <sam-_-> Te3-BloodyIron, did you sudo restart gdm?
[03:04] <pokir> EnigmaticCoder: I usually just leave my computer running until it crashes... was just hoping to find something more stable I guess
[03:05] <icesword> !dpkg
[03:05] <Te3-BloodyIron> sam-_-: i didn't sudo, i logged in as root, i know i know :P
[03:05] <Te3-BloodyIron> alt k prscr did not reboot x :(
[03:05] <Te3-BloodyIron> er restart
[03:05] <luneth95> r00t4rd3d: no I'm using ubuntu 10.10 on a usb
[03:06] <sam-_-> Te3-BloodyIron, you need to be on the tty where x is on
[03:06] <icesword> ctrl alt f7
[03:06] <Te3-BloodyIron> yeah i have physical access
[03:06] <Te3-BloodyIron> but im also trying to figure out a way to do it through ssh
[03:06] <EnigmaticCoder> pokir: It's up to you, but I'd personally keep both OSes until I tried Ubuntu for about a month or two to see if it's easy enough for me to use
[03:06] <PeterFabinskiMbl> EnigmaticCoder, like linux and another os and see both

[03:08] <sam-_-> Te3-BloodyIron, if this doesn't work your system has crashed.
[03:08] <Te3-BloodyIron> sam-_-: but i can ssh into it?

[03:08] <r00t4rd3d> luneth95, have you updated your system since install ?
[03:08] <Te3-BloodyIron> well, it hasnt :/
[03:08] <PeterFabinskiMbl> like running 2 computers at the same time, but only one computer? like a vm?
[03:08] <sam-_-> Te3-BloodyIron, i don't suppose you run a custom kernel?
[03:09] <Te3-BloodyIron> no
[03:09] <Te3-BloodyIron> i run the kernel provided for mythbuntu
[03:09] <Te3-BloodyIron> and whatever updates it receives
[03:09] <Osaka> How can I work out which /dev/* is my DVD drive? for some reason dvd is not it :/ lol I'm trying to use dd to copy it to my HDD
[03:09] <sam-_-> Te3-BloodyIron, then your doing sth. wrong
[03:09] <ActionParsnip> Osaka: sudo lshw -C drive
[03:09] <Te3-BloodyIron> well, i dont know what that might be
[03:09] <EnigmaticCoder> I probably wouldn't use this, but is it possible to have a GUI open on one monitor and a text terminal open on the second?
[03:09] <ActionParsnip> sam-_-: i'd go with logging on as root being the wrong bit
[03:09] <Te3-BloodyIron> it seems to happen at random, but usually after longer periods of time
[03:09] <EnigmaticCoder> by text terminal I mean like alt + f1
[03:10] <sam-_-> Te3-BloodyIron, alt + sysreq + k. try it again :-)
[03:10] <Te3-BloodyIron> and it only started doing it the last few months

[03:12] <Te3-BloodyIron> sam-_-: well, anyways, do you have any suggestions what could be causing this crashing?
[03:12] <zetter> my taskbar disappeared after autohide and doesnt show again
[03:12] <zetter> this is troubling me
[03:12] <Te3-BloodyIron> sam-_-: because i can't find any suggestive feedback as to what could be doing it
[03:12] <pclinux-10> i
[03:12] <sam-_-> Te3-BloodyIron, check the log files
[03:12] <Te3-BloodyIron> sam-_-: yeah i know, but so much logs, i dont know which ones i should check first
[03:13] <sam-_-> Te3-BloodyIron, what does crashing mean exactly. does x freeze?
[03:13] <r00t4rd3d> Ummm
[03:13] <Te3-BloodyIron> yeahj

[03:13] <EnigmaticCoder> Is there a keystroke to open a new bash terminal?
[03:13] <FloodBot1> Te3-BloodyIron: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:13] <Te3-BloodyIron> and it appears dameons and other htings work in the background
[03:13] <ActionParsnip> Te3-BloodyIron: if you log on as your user you will have fewer issues
[03:13] <sam-_-> Te3-BloodyIron, then these files /var/log/Xorg*
[03:13] <PeterFabinskiMbl> EnigmaticCoder, use both monitors as 1 desktop: the gui on one and a terminal on the other

[03:14] <greezmunkey> EnigmaticCoder: Don't think so, but "gnome-terminal" should spawn another one.
[03:14] <zetter> thx
[03:14] <Jordan_U> forestbear: Add this entry to the end of your /boot/grub/menu.lst and try booting with it: http://pastebin.com/spYaRBD9
[03:14] <r00t4rd3d> err sudo apt-get update should work
[03:15] <ActionParsnip> moszer: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-setup-bluetooth-keyboard-and-mouse-in-ubuntu.html
[03:15] <Osaka> ActionParsnip: nothing came up but I think when I ran it without the -class parameter it listed the logical names for it as /dev/cdrom
[03:15] <Te3-BloodyIron> ActionParsnip: come again? i don't login as root locally
[03:15] <ActionParsnip> Osaka: try: sudo lshw -C disk  then
[03:15] <luneth95>  r00t4rd3d: how do you login as failsafe?
[03:15] <ActionParsnip> Te3-BloodyIron: good
[03:15] <r00t4rd3d> when you system boots you see a menu of choices ?

[03:16] <luneth95>  r00t4rd3d: yes I do
[03:16] <moszer> ActionParsnip: http://www.prolink2u.com/new/products/index.php?cid=106
[03:16] <r00t4rd3d> one should be listed as failsafe and bring you to prompt maybe
[03:16] <greezmunkey> EnigmaticCoder: nice!
[03:16] <Osaka> ActionParsnip: that worked thank you XD
[03:16] <Te3-BloodyIron> ActionParsnip: yeah yeah :P

[03:17] <luneth95> test memory
[03:17] <sam-_-> mhfs, su <username>

[03:17] <r00t4rd3d> run from usb
[03:17] <sam-_-> EnigmaticCoder, i doubt it :-)
[03:17] <PeterFabinskiMbl> EnigmaticCoder, whats that?
[03:17] <rww> Te3-BloodyIron: fglrx is rather crap, so yes
[03:17] <luneth95>  r00t4rd3d: I did that
[03:17] <Te3-BloodyIron> rww: yeah but i need it for what i want to do

[03:18] <r00t4rd3d> http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/windows-installer
[03:18] <EnigmaticCoder> PeterFabinskiMbl: Mouseless browsing lets you select links with a hotkey and a number
[03:19] <r00t4rd3d> when you boot will give you an option , windows or ubuntu
[03:19] <EnigmaticCoder> PeterFabinskiMbl: It might be more elaborate than that, but I think you get the point
[03:19] <ActionParsnip> mhfs: create a scipt with the stuff you want to run, then use the init script to run:  su - foo -c script    change foo to the name of the user and script to the script name (I suggest using absolute paths)
[03:19] <moszer> anyone pls, kindly help me
[03:19] <forestbear> jordan_u: ok i'll be back in a bit

[03:28] <ForestBear> jordan_u: it worked, i am now in ubuntu
[03:28] <PeterFabinskiMbl> EnigmaticCoder, is that the command for (example) lala?
[03:28] <Sary> ActionParsnip, Yeah , a Linux Miracle :D
[03:29] <johnyh> how Wubi works?
[03:29] <r00t4rd3d> great i personally think
[03:29] <johnyh> where is linux pseudo partition created by wubi? is it a file on windows?
[03:30] <PeterFabinskiMbl> is there a wubi-like thing for mac?
[03:30] <Jordan_U> ForestBear: Ok. Try running "sudo update-initramfs -c -k 2.6.32-25-generic" Then see if you can boot from the newer kernel.
[03:30] <indio> Hi. Can I add 7zip support to file-roller?
[03:31] <Jordan_U> PeterFabinskiMbl: No, because linux doesn't have write support for OSX's default filesystem (journaled hfsplus) yet.
[03:31] <moszer> ActionParsnip: i hope so, atleast it detect something, sadly, nothing happen
[03:31] <amosk> johnyh: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide
[03:31] <ActionParsnip> indio: sure: sudo apt-get install p7zip
[03:31] <Jordan_U> johnyh: Yes, it's in C:\ubuntu\disks\root.diks
[03:31] <indio> ActionParsnip: Many thanks.
[03:32] <PeterFabinskiMbl> Jordan_U, rats. is there a virtual machine emulator or something?
[03:32] <ActionParsnip> indio: you can also extract in cli with:  7z x filename
[03:32] <Jordan_U> PeterFabinskiMbl: You can run Ubuntu within VirtualBox (or any other VM software) under OSX.
[03:32] <amosk> PeterFabinskiMbl: kvm ?
[03:33] <indio> ActionParsnip: Thank you.
[03:33] <ForestBear> jordan_u: it worked! thank you so much! updating my system won't screw it up right?
[03:34] <PeterFabinskiMbl> Jordan_U, i got virtualbox, do i download linux from somewhere?
[03:35] <Jordan_U> ForestBear: I don't expect that it will, but it's hard to know since I don't know what caused the initrd to be created improperly or corrupted in the first place.
[03:35] <greezmunkey> Jordan_U: So it was initrd after all...
[03:35] <Jordan_U> PeterFabinskiMbl: Yes, http://ubuntu.com/download .
[03:36] <anil> CAN I UPGRADE UBUNTU 9.04 TO 10.10 WITHOUT CLEAN INSTALL ?
[03:36] <greezmunkey> Jordan_U: You rock dude...
[03:36] <Jordan_U> !caps | anil
[03:36] <Jordan_U> !eol | anil
[03:36] <ForestBear> jordan_u: but if things go wrong I can just use this working version of menu.lst (backed up) to fix things i think
[03:36] <anil> sorry !!!
[03:36] <PeterFabinskiMbl> Jordan_U, what do i do with the file when i get it?
[03:36] <Jordan_U> ForestBear: Yes. I would recommend always keeping at least one old kernel entry in your menu.lst at all times.
[03:37] <XtJacob> anil: you should be able to update in the update manager
[03:37] <Jordan_U> PeterFabinskiMbl: Use it as the source for the virtual CDROM drive in VirtualBox.
[03:37] <PeterFabinskiMbl> how?
[03:38] <ForestBear> Jordan_U: thanks again. Well I'm off, see ya!
[03:38] <anil> update manager is showing 9.04 to 9.10 upgrade
[03:39] <r00t4rd3d> will probably take a couple updates
[03:40] <PeterFabinskiMbl> ¥€$¥€$
[03:40] <dejavou42> I upgraded to 10.04 from 8.04, and it broke a lot of stuff. So, I backed up my home folder, and did a fresh install with 9.10. Problem is, my wifi and ethernet are still broken. The eth0 will not connect when set to dhcp mode, but when I set it to static, It says connected, but idle.
[03:40] <Jordan_U> PeterFabinskiMbl: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMuO6jDqdPU looks like a good video guide, though I've only watched about the first minute.
[03:40] <dejavou42> any thoughts?

[03:43] <r00t4rd3d> like sound properties in windows
[03:44] <r00t4rd3d> or volume control

[03:47] <PeterFabinskiMbl> feanor2, i shared the folder w/ virtualbox but i cant find it in ubuntu

[03:49] <PeterFabinskiMbl> what would mount point be? where i want the folder to show up?
[03:49] <EnigmaticCoder> rmccue: Out of curiousity, are there Windows machines in your network?

[03:56] <feanor2> PeterFabinskiMbl, /root/Desktop
[03:57] <PeterFabinskiMbl> feanor2, thx
[03:57] <sam-_-> man, why not install it from the repos?
[03:57] <rmccue> So, why would samba not have an init.d entry?
[03:57] <SC-M> sam-_-: thanks.
[03:57] <rmccue> (There's a smbd, but that gives me "failed to connect to socket")
[03:57] <greezmunkey> dejavou42: paste the output of "ifconfig" to http://paste.ubuntu.com please
[03:57] <sam-_-> rmccue it's in /etc/init now
[03:57] <dejavou42> one second
[03:58] <man> im new to ubuntu i dont understnd how to install from repos??????
[03:58] <guiness> i know the answer is because linux is free, but why does flash totally suck on linux and not windows
[03:58] <sam-_-> man, sudo apt-get install <program name>
[03:58] <guiness> go to thge software center
[03:58] <feanor2> guiness, because in linux progress means life and results mean death
[03:58] <itaylor57> guiness: flash sucks everywhere just in different ways
[03:58] <man> no no i hav downloaded dat
[03:59] <SC-M> how to find some repo sources
[03:59] <guiness> feanor2 what do you mean
[03:59] <man> m asking how to install
[03:59] <SC-M> i'm stuck at archive.ubuntu.com
[03:59] <XtJacob> guiness: market share for windows is bigger, so adobe problably see's it as a better investment
[03:59] <dejavou42> http://paste.ubuntu.com/545467/
[03:59] <man> i mean i got dat setup downloaded in .bin format
[03:59] <dejavou42> GreezMunkey: ^
[03:59] <man> so how to run it
[04:00] <feanor2> guiness, noone cares abount flash, there;s so many new interesting things to work upon, so it's swept under carpet
[04:00] <XtJacob> he means performancelinux and security on windowd
[04:00] <rmccue> sam-_-: There's a smbd.conf in there, no samba executable though
[04:00] <sam-_-> man, change the permission
[04:00] <breadcrumb> man - make the file executable with chmod u+x filenamehere
[04:00] <greezmunkey> dejavou42: nothing out of the ordinary there... are you using this box now?
[04:00] <guiness> so what is the new thing for video on the web and why does hulu not support it??
[04:00] <ActionParsnip> feanor2: theres http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/12/flash-alternative-lightspark-0-4-5-released/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed:+d0od+(Omg!+Ubuntu!)&utm_content=Twitter
[04:01] <sam-_-> rmccue why would there be one?
[04:01] <itaylor57> html5
[04:01] <ActionParsnip> feanor2: lightspark
[04:01] <feanor2> ActionParsnip, does it work?
[04:01] <dejavou42> greezmunkey: yes, but using another box to connect to internet.
[04:01] <ActionParsnip> feanor2: no idea, give it a try. It's free
[04:01] <man> after makin executable in terminal wat do i do????
[04:01] <sam-_-> rmccue http://upstart.ubuntu.com/
[04:01] <rmccue> sam-_-: The documentation notes that to restart samba, `sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart`
[04:02] <breadcrumb> man: type ./filenamehere
[04:02] <XtJacob> they don't support it because it's new and almost everyone has flash
[04:02] <meekwarrior> man ./file
[04:02] <breadcrumb> man: that is assuming you're already in the directory that the file is in
[04:02] <dejavou42> greezmunkey: its an hp dv8000. wireless and ethernet are not working on it at the moment.
[04:02] <clu3> greezmunkey, thanks a lot, i'll probably try that thread for the sound problem. looks like quite a bit of work :)
[04:02] <feanor2> does anyone know how to write apt-get regualr expressions?
[04:02] <man> hhj
[04:02] <sam-_-> rmccue that has changed now sudo restart samba
[04:02] <rmccue> sam-_-: "unknown job samba"
[04:02] <guiness> i mean i tried the beta version of flash but it only got a little better
[04:02] <breadcrumb> rmccue try smbd
[04:03] <sam-_-> rmccue that has changed now sudo restart smbd
[04:03] <Fezzler> Any guitar players here?  What is the best, most compatible A/D capture device for Ubuntu?
[04:03] <rmccue> Thanks.
[04:03] <greezmunkey> clu3: I found some references to "special" driver sets from Toshiba for Ubuntu on their lappys a while back. You may be well off to do some serious searching to see what you can find.
[04:03] <obscurant1st> i cannot browse to any websites, but when i use  tor, i can access websitescn anyoin help?
[04:03] <guiness> there is a free flash thing the performance
[04:03] <ActionParsnip> Fezzler: there is no best app for anything
[04:03] <guiness> and it is awesome
[04:03] <guiness> light something
[04:03] <guiness> is the name
[04:04] <ActionParsnip> Fezzler: just take the output from your amp and whack it into the audio ni, you can then use something like audacious
[04:04] <Fezzler> Any guitar players here?  What A/D capture devices work with Ubuntu?
[04:04] <sam-_-> obscurant1st, you need to change the proxy settings
[04:04] <ActionParsnip> guiness: lightspark
[04:04] <guiness> yeah
[04:04] <guiness> but hulu doesnt support it
[04:04] <feanor2> how to see how many space an installed package takes???
[04:04] <guiness> at least the desktop app
[04:05] <dejavou42> greezmunkey: eth0 says its connected, but pings to router have a 100% loss.
[04:05] <Fezzler> ActionParsnip>> Is that how you record tracks with your guitar low latency?
[04:06] <ActionParsnip> Fezzler: i dont record, i just play but it's how I would. If you want low latency I'd install th rt kernel
[04:06] <shrmn> Hey there. Quick question to make sure I have this right. I have my partitions set up as /, home and swap. If I am installing a different distro, all I have to do is tell it the same thing but specify not to format "home" right?
[04:06] <shrmn> I am switching buntus.
[04:06] <guiness> i cant get my mic to function like it does on windows
[04:06] <guiness> help??
[04:06] <Fezzler> ActionParsnip>> Ah.  I have RT kernel.  I wonder is there are any guitar recorders here?
[04:06] <XtJacob> shrmn: yes
[04:06] <ActionParsnip> shrmn: yep, mark the home partition to be used as /home with the right filesystem type but NOT format it and the settings should be used in the new distro
[04:06] <PeterFabinski> what is the BackTrack path for the desktop
[04:07] <man> thnks frends
[04:07] <shrmn> Schweet!
[04:07] <man> got it
[04:07] <shrmn> Thanks everyone.
[04:07] <obscurant1st> sam-_-: thx man. silly me. it was firefox. Somebody changed the proxy settings!, thx anyway!
[04:07] <greezmunkey> dejavou42: hold a sec, neighbor is here...
[04:07] <r00t4rd3d> is anyone here offended by my nick besides Jordan_U ?
[04:08] <dejavou42> greezmunkey: k thanks
[04:08] <ActionParsnip> shrmn: seperate /home partition has many advantages
[04:08]  * skraito need a tester for https://yohanespatra.wordpress.com/2010/12/19/0x71-perl-logger-to-syslog-simple-key-logger/ sory if i repeat this i am using /ame
[04:08] <clu3> greezmunkey, yep, I've also spent almost 6 hours to search for the battery status display problem, no result. This new Toshiba model doesn't have much Ubuntu support, i doubt i'll find anything on my own
[04:08] <EnigmaticCoder> r00t4rd3d: I'm not offended by it, but I don't care much if people aren't politcally correct (usually)
[04:08] <man> how to unzip the zipped files in ubuntu?????
[04:08] <sam-_-> r00t4rd3d, it's not a nice nick that's for sure
[04:09] <sam-_-> man, right click -> decompress
[04:09] <shrmn> ActionParsnip, I did pick up that much from what I read before I did my initial install and am very thankful. :]
[04:09] <Data_1> r00t4rd3d: I agree with sam-_-. :')
[04:09] <Stepan_> I have a PC that has relatively low hardware, I think it was designed for Win 98 or 2000.  The primary purpose of this PC would be to go on the internet only.  Is there any distro that doesn't need much hardware and has a simple GUI?
[04:09] <greezmunkey> clu3: contact Toshiba support to see what they have to say.
[04:09] <share> is there a way to start Vino minimized?
[04:09] <XtJacob> stephan_: you could use xubuntu
[04:10] <icekk> HI, I created a tcp server, running it on ubuntu-server each time i run it, only 400 tcp socket clients can connect to it...
[04:10] <icekk> how do i increase this limit to unlimitede
[04:10] <greezmunkey> dejavou42: Are you using Network Manager? Or are you statically defining things in /etc/network/interfaces?
[04:10] <XtJacob> or fluxbuntu i think
[04:10]  * skraito anyone ?
[04:10] <feanor2> xubuntu is a bloat
[04:10] <icekk> modify the ulimits or somethin?
[04:10] <dejavou42> network manager mostly
[04:10] <EnigmaticCoder> Stepan_: There's xubuntu, but if that isn't low requirements enough, I've heard of damn small linux
[04:10] <sam-_-> feanor2, lubuntu then=
[04:11] <XtJacob> stepan: fluxbuntu is also good
[04:11] <monty_hall> is there a reason eacclerator isn't in synaptic?
[04:11] <dejavou42> greezemunkey: I've used terminal to force some changes, but I haven't written anything to the config files
[04:11] <bobhope> r
[04:11] <man> downloaded songs fron songs.pk can run safely in ubuntu?????
[04:12] <dejavou42> greezemunkey: If set to dhcp, eth0 will never connect, and dhcp is turned on in the router.
[04:12] <feanor2> man most likely
[04:12] <Stepan_> Thanks guys, will definatelly check these distros out
[04:12] <ActionParsnip> man: sure, why not
[04:12] <ActionParsnip> man: define safely..?
[04:13] <sam-_-> as long as the songs aren't executables for linux :-)
[04:13] <feanor2> ActionParsnip, he means exploitation of vulneabilities via mp3 format
[04:13] <man> means directly by clicking
[04:13] <dejavou42> greezemunkey: /etc/network/interfaces only has "auto lo           auto lo inet loopback"
[04:13] <sam-_-> never heard of an mp3 exploit.
[04:14] <ActionParsnip> man: sure, how is clicking related to safety?
[04:14] <dejavou42> greezmunkey: no entry for eth0. should I try to define eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces?
[04:14] <myth-learner> Hi - I'm an (myth/u)buntu newbie.  How can I change my firewall so I can run ssh on a different port?  (I know how to change ssh, just not change the (myth/u)buntu firewall.  Can anyone help?
[04:15] <greezmunkey> dejavou42: no entry where? network manager?
[04:15] <sam-_-> myth-learner, is there a firewall running?
[04:15] <sam-_-> myth-learner, ufw?
[04:15] <ActionParsnip> myth-learner: edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config   you can change the port it runs on there
[04:15] <dejavou42> greezmunkey: There is no entry for eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces. network manager has two entries: one static, and one auto
[04:15] <myth-learner> @sam - ufw suggests that there are no iptables rules...
[04:16] <share> im having a problem shutting down the computer
[04:16] <myth-learner> @ActionParsnip - thanks - I've got that working, but can't change the firewall
[04:16] <dejavou42> greezmunkey: dhcp* not auto
[04:16] <greezmunkey> dejavou42: that's normal, if you are letting network mgr do it's thing. Is this issue new, or from install?
[04:16] <ActionParsnip> myth-learner: where is the firewall running?
[04:16] <man> no relation, i mean dat without using any other operation
[04:17] <myth-learner> @ActionParsnip - no idea.  I can connect on local host to multiple ssh ports, but from the other machines on my network I can only see port 22.
[04:17] <EnigmaticCoder> Does anyone know how to add a trackbar to the current line in irssi (I just inquired on #irssi but didn't get a response)
[04:17] <sam-_-> myth-leaner, sudo iptables -L to see if ufw is right
[04:17] <ActionParsnip> myth-learner: if its on your LAN then unless you configured iptables it will be running on the new port
[04:17] <dejavou42> greezmunkey: from install / upgrade. I upgraded to 10.04 from 8.04. it broke a lot of stuff, so I backed up my home folder and installed 10.10 and then 9.10. currently I'm running 9.10 which is a fresh install
[04:18] <myth-learner> @sam - only 3 chains in iptables.  all the vanilla stuff.
[04:18] <G__81> If there is no proper nvidia driver for my video card then cant i run 11.04 once it gets released ?
[04:18] <ActionParsnip> myth-learner: if you drop the @ in your text, it highlights the text in the client, adding the character stops the highlight happening#
[04:19] <myth-learner> ActionParsnip - sorry dude.
[04:19] <ActionParsnip> G__81: #ubuntu+1 for natty discussion
[04:19] <itaylor57> EnigmaticCoder: I have a script somewhere let me look
[04:19] <sam-_-> myth-learner, then no firewall is running
[04:19] <ActionParsnip> sam-_-: well it is, its just not configured
[04:19] <G__81> ok thanks ActionParsnip
[04:19] <myth-learner> sam - :-(  So why can't I get ssh to work on a non-standard port.  Any other suggestions?
[04:19] <sam-_-> ActionParsnip, ok
[04:19] <PeterFabinski> hi
[04:20] <feanor2> @feanor2 test
[04:20] <sam-_-> myth-learner, did you restart sshd after editing the conf
[04:21] <sam-_-> myth-learner, btw. if you are doing this for a security reason. don't it's not worth it
[04:21] <myth-learner> sam - I *think* I did, but I need to check
[04:21] <myth-learner> sam - it's 'cos I want to run multiple external ssh ports on my modem/router.
[04:22] <ActionParsnip> sam-_-: iptables runs from the first boot, its just got no rules of what to block and allow so it allows everything
[04:22] <myth-learner> I know that I can easily be port scanned so it won't matter much if I try to hide the port.
[04:22] <greezmunkey> dejavou42: you've been through the mill then...Remove the eth0 profiles in network manager, and set up a new one static, give it 192.168.0.25 mask 255.255.255.0, gate 192.168.0.1, and dns as your router ip address (gate) - see if that helps. NM on 9.x was a bit flaky...
[04:22] <sam-_-> myth-learner, y. but they all come from different ip adresses.
[04:23] <sam-_-> ActionParsnip, yes i know but thx for expl.
[04:23] <EnigmaticCoder> itaylor57: I found one on the irssi website, but I'm not sure how to use it. I've never used scripts in irssi
[04:23] <itaylor57> EnigmaticCoder: irssi-scripts has a trackbar.pl or google for it
[04:23] <ActionParsnip> myth-learner: thats fine, you just need to setup the port forward on the router to be pushed to the right IPs on the internal.
[04:23] <myth-learner> sam - my modem is single ip external address, but want to have multiple incoming ports so I can ssh directly to different machines.
[04:24] <myth-learner> ActionParsnip - the router only does 1-1 port mapping, i.e. only maps port 12345 (external) to 12345 internally.
[04:24] <ActionParsnip> sam-_-: 04:19 < sam-_-> myth-learner, then no firewall is running
[04:24] <ActionParsnip> sam-_-: clearly not...
[04:24] <sam-_-> myth-learner, some routers allow the change the port via nat
[04:24] <itaylor57> EnigmaticCoder: that would be off topic checkout the irrsi home page and they will tell you how to add it
[04:24] <greezmunkey> dejavou42: once you've set up the new profile, disable and then enable to be sure your setting take effect.
[04:24] <bi> hi
[04:24] <EnigmaticCoder> itaylor57: ty
[04:24] <myth-learner> sam - cheap netgear ones don't.  :-(
[04:24] <partyboy25> i installed icedTea plug in    and trying to uninstall old java off the ubuntu   how do i do that
[04:26] <myth-learner> ActionParsnip - I think you must be right.  I can't see anything that means a firewall was running (I'm more from the fedora GUI world) and then testing iptables reinforced my view and now you guys are saying the same thing.  Perhaps I just forgot to restart sshd  (*hangs head in shame*)
[04:26] <ActionParsnip> myth-learner: just change the port in sshd_config and then set the port forward on the WAN side to push through to the same port number as you are limited by your router
[04:26] <sam-_-> myth-learner, happens all the time to me :-)
[04:26] <itaylor57> EnigmaticCoder: http://scripts.irssi.org/
[04:27] <partyboy25> i installed iced tea plug in      so how do i delete the old version of java of the ubuntu  in shell terminal?
[04:27] <ActionParsnip> myth-learner: its all learning dude, no worries
[04:27] <EnigmaticCoder> itaylor57: Thanks again
[04:27] <sam-_-> partyboy25, depends on what you had installed
[04:27] <myth-learner> sam-_- / ActionParsnip - thanks for the help.  I'll go and try the restart and see what happens.
[04:28] <itaylor57> EnigmaticCoder: i am just an old cli kinda guy
[04:28] <partyboy25> it in system prefances
[04:28] <partyboy25> java 6 control panel
[04:28] <partyboy25> java 6 plug in control panel
[04:29] <sam-_-> partyboy25, sudo apt-get --purge autoremove sun-java*
[04:29] <sam-_-> partyboy25, try this
[04:29] <rugwiro> hello everyone!!i want to install SQL server in ubuntu how do i do it?is it the same ways as installing it in windows??
[04:29] <partyboy25> thanks  i ll try
[04:29] <sam-_-> partyboy25, or is it called openjdk?
[04:29] <gamerx> i have a Asus Rampage 2 Extreme motherboard, just downloaded the linux drivers for audio, and have no idea what to do, is someone able to assist me?
[04:30] <chills518> having trouble connecting to windows 7 pc.  Was able to see it before but must have changed something while getting my wireless working.  Now I can't even see the windows 7 pc.. any ideas?
[04:30] <ActionParsnip> chills518: can you ping it's IP?
[04:30] <chills518> yes.  I can ping IP but not pc name.
[04:30] <partyboy25> brb
[04:31] <myth-learner> ActionParsnip / sam - you guys are the best!  Thanks for the help.  It works.  "/etc/init.d/ssh restart"  Doh!    :-)
[04:31] <ActionParsnip> chills518: sounds like your DNS doesn't include your router, you can add a resolution in /etc/hosts if you like
[04:31] <itaylor57> partyboy25 has a mix of open and sun methinks
[04:32] <rugwiro> hello everyone!!i want to install SQL server in ubuntu how do i do it?is it the same ways as installing it in windows??
[04:32] <Dr_Willis> chills518:  theres a known bug with samba and accessing windows 7 - if the (i am trying to rember) 'windows live login helper'  tool is installed on windows 7.
[04:32] <itaylor57> iced tea is open
[04:32] <Dr_Willis> chills518:  i may have tha namne wrong. I learned about it on the forums a few weeks back
[04:32] <ActionParsnip> !lamp | rugwiro
[04:32] <holoseen> I installed 10.10 netbook remix to a 2GB flash drive using pendrivelinux, should it boot with the splash asking to try or install? Seems like it should boot to logon screen...
[04:32] <dejavou42> greezmunkey: done. the same thing happened. After the connection is established, I pinged the router with complete loss. typing route in terminal tells me that the gateway is being set to 192.168.0.0
[04:33] <PeterFabinski> hi
[04:33] <rugwiro> ok thank a lot!!
[04:33] <chills518> actionparsnip:  I will try adding it to my hosts file...
[04:33] <XtJacob> holoseen: try gives you the desktop
[04:33] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: http://thelinuxexperiment.com/linux/accessing-windows-7-shares-from-ubuntu-is-a-pain/
[04:33] <greezmunkey> dejavou42: bizarre, what error do you get when you try to change to route again?
[04:33] <holoseen> XtJacob, yes and it takes a long time to get there once selected
[04:33] <jackoriper> hi
[04:33] <jackoriper> cable internet ( ethernet plug ) is directly connected to laptap for internet, how to setup or do settings , so that internet to work on ubuntu 10 ? ( local  internet  provider is fan to XP only ), but im ubuntu in our region.
[04:33] <ActionParsnip> chills518: you can access the system via IP if you like. You will bypass any DNS if you do
[04:33] <yop129> does anyone know where a network share is mounted when you access it?
[04:33] <chills518> dr_willis: I haven't seen any info on that bug yet.  I will look into that.  I have been all over the forums and such trying to resolve this and hadn't seen that possible issue yet..
[04:34] <dejavou42> greezmunkey: sudo ip route add default via 192.168.0.1?
[04:34] <taraduffy> hi, anyone is Oz? I am trying to connect to a Telstra 3G and having problems?
[04:34] <greezmunkey> dejavou42: what does the system give you back when you run that?
[04:34] <Dr_Willis> chills518:  i found the info on the ubuntu forums i think. All i did to fix my lan issues was removed that  proram from the windows 7 box. I cant double check to see its name. since i removed it. - looking for the url now.
[04:35] <sam-_-> taraduffy, what problems?
[04:35] <Dr_Willis> chills518:  it was somthing similer to 'windows games live login helper'
[04:35] <dejavou42> greezmunkey: RTNETLINK answers: File Exists
[04:35] <chills518> actionparsnip:  I had it earlier today going to Places > network> and saw the pc there... and it just kept asking for password over and over even though I was using correct passowrd
[04:35] <holoseen> What is the way to install netbook to flash so it boots into the system instead of the demo mode?
[04:35] <gamerx> anyone can help me with installing audio drivers?
[04:35] <taraduffy> sam-_-: thanks: just wont connect; recognizes it, but fails to connect.
[04:36] <partyboy25> still working on it sam   brb   trying to figure this out
[04:36] <Dr_Willis> chills518:  some info here also. (and otehr work arounds it seems) --> http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/75-63-windows-samba-issue
[04:36] <aroman> dsfs
[04:36] <ActionParsnip> !persistent
[04:36] <yop129> chills518: try adding everyone to the share on the windows computer, that should fix it
[04:36] <Dr_Willis> chills518:  on the plus side. from my research - this issue is supposed to get fixed in the next samba release. So hopefully 11.04 wont have the issue
[04:36] <ActionParsnip> holoseen: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent
[04:36] <itaylor57> partyboy25: what is your problem?
[04:37] <XtJacob> holoseen: on the livecd there is no logon screen, if you want it without demo, install it to the flash drive like you would if you were installing it to  a hardribe, but make sure you set grub to the right drive
[04:37] <ActionParsnip> gamerx: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh
[04:37] <yop129> anyone know where a network share is mounted when you access it?
[04:37] <sam-_-> taraduffy, does it say anything at all?
[04:37] <chills518> dr_willis:  thanks for the info and link.  I will keep plugging away at it.
[04:37] <ActionParsnip> yop129: usually in a folder in ~/.gvfs
[04:37] <sam-_-> taraduffy, like authentication failure or sth.?
[04:38] <sam-_-> gamerx, where did you download your drivers from?
[04:38] <gamerx> asus.com
[04:38] <chills518> yop129:  thanks.   I think I have it set to everyone already.  I had no password on the windows system but read it had to have one so I setup the password and it is still not letting me in.. hahah
[04:38] <Dr_Willis> chills518:  i cant seem to track down the forum where i saw the other info at.
[04:38] <taraduffy> sam-_-: no. the network Manager icon spins around and then just stops in a failure graphic: but no error message.
[04:38] <holoseen> XtJacob, I understand, but won't grub attempt to install to the internal hd with no way around that?
[04:38] <ActionParsnip> gamerx: most cards work fine with alsa
[04:38] <gigaclon> is there a way to update from a older version to 10.10 via CD without wiping the harddrive?
[04:38] <PeterFabinskiMbl> hi
[04:38] <gamerx> i want the optical out to work
[04:38] <PeterFabinski> hi
[04:38] <gigaclon> older version is like 8.10
[04:38] <PeterFabinskiMbl> hi
[04:38] <gamerx> its not showing up in the list of outputs
[04:39] <ActionParsnip> gigaclon: you can use the alternate ISO to upgrade with. you can only update to the next release, or LTS to LTS
[04:39] <XtJacob> holoseen: at the end of the ubuntu install there is an option on where to install grub
[04:39] <lekiii> Hi, must I have to put my swap in primary or logic part ?
[04:39] <yop129> chills518: hmm, yeah i had trouble accessing it before and adding everyone to the share fixed it so thought maybe that might help
[04:39] <PeterFabinski> lekiii hi
[04:40] <sam-_-> ActionParsnip, i think there is a card from creative in there.
[04:40] <sam-_-> ActionParsnip, x-fi
[04:40] <yop129> ActionParsnip: so it's mounted in an invisible folder? not very effecient when u need to access it from a program :/
[04:40] <chills518> yop129:  I will double check that I do have it set to everyone just to make sure. :)  thanks for the info
[04:40] <PeterFabinski> ActionParsnip :):):):):)
[04:40] <holoseen> XtJacob, good, so to confirm, nothing gets written to the internal hd?
[04:41] <Dr_Willis> gigaclon:   thats supposed to be doable. but I find that its often best to just do a clean install.
[04:41] <noonian> yop129, I don't think the efficiency is any different. The only difference is hidden files have a . in front of them.
[04:41] <FishFace> chills518: Also read this if all else fails. Its about NAS, but Win7 is the problem - http://windows7forums.com/windows-7-networking/1669-cannot-access-nas-4.html - Look for a post from micky0104
[04:41] <ActionParsnip> sam-_-: oh no, creative :(
[04:42] <XtJacob> holoseen: yes just make sure you set everything to the flashdrive, if you really want to make sure unplug the drive when you install it. :p
[04:42] <yop129> chills518: np
[04:42] <Dr_Willis> chills518:  you may want to ask in #samba also.
[04:42] <taraduffy> sam-_-: it just tries and then stops and says 'disconnected'.
[04:42] <feanor2> can someone recomment spellchecker better than aspell sh*t?
[04:42] <Zarte> evening mates
[04:42] <yop129> noonian: so i need to show hidden folders in nautilius before i can access it within a program, correct?
[04:43] <gamerx> ActionParsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/545477/
[04:43] <holoseen> XtJacob, I was trying to avoid pulling the laptop internal hd! But that is probably the surest/safest route.
[04:43] <feanor2> yop129, no, just type path manually
[04:43] <yop129> feanor2: ok let me try it
[04:43] <sam-_-> taraduffy, take a look at /var/log/daemon.log networkmanager writes in there
[04:43] <Dr_Willis> chills518:  heres some info on the 'problelm' i was having --> 'windows live sign on assisstant' --> http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/w7itpronetworking/thread/9c6f1d74-f7f0-4503-94fa-0d79a5597527
[04:43] <NeoCicak> hi... i'm using ubuntu 10.10 64 bit..... and somehow i always lost my desktop theme on boot up
[04:43] <XtJacob> holoseen: oh you're on a laptop :p, you might be able to disable the drive in the BIOS
[04:44] <ActionParsnip> gamerx: can you rerun the script but upload it, you will get a red hyperlink. What is the link?
[04:44] <taraduffy> sam-_-: OK looking .. . .
[04:44] <sam-_-> taraduffy, you may paste it to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ then i will take a look
[04:44] <r00t4rd3d> NeoCicak, did you install it or just running a live/usb version ?
[04:44] <Dr_Willis> chills518:  amuseing quote from the info --->  uninstalling "windows live sign in assistant", but at least weekly, this "assistant" reinstalls itself, and the problem returns.
[04:45] <gamerx> ActionParsnip, you mean upload the contants of alsa-info.sh?
[04:45] <Dr_Willis> chills518:  i started having the issue when some game installed that Sign In assistant.
[04:45] <greezmunkey> dejavou42: hmm, I did some looking around. Do you know how to statically define an ip address in /etc/network/interfaces?
[04:45] <taraduffy> sam-_-: shall I paste it to you somewhere: please point me to the paste bin?
[04:45] <dejavou42> greezmunkey: yup, just tried that
[04:45] <holoseen> XtJacob, I think I will go the hardware disconnect way.
[04:45] <ActionParsnip> gamerx: no, when the script runs and you are asked if you want to upload, select yes and you'll get a hyperlink
[04:45] <yop129> feanor2: well that worked wonderfully actually, just off that they make it hidden
[04:46] <chills518> fishface:  thanks for the link I will check it out...
[04:46] <XtJacob> holoseen: ok, good luck!
[04:46] <yop129> odd*
[04:46] <taraduffy> sam-_-: does this help: taraduffy-laptop NetworkManager[954]: <info> disconnect failed: (32) The serial port is not open.
[04:46] <dejavou42> greezmunkey: iface eth0 inet static        address 192.168.0.5         netmask 255.255.255.0      gateway 192.168.0.1
[04:46] <noonian> yop129, oh sorry, I didn't realize you were having problems with a programs file browser. Thought you were being more technical.
[04:46] <Dr_Willis> chills518:  another possible fix at --> http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itprosecurity/thread/e30589d3-ab5a-4233-a199-7d5caf395875
[04:46] <chills518> dr_willis: I will go and check now on that.  I kind of remember enabling that on my windows pc... going to go and check on that right now.. thanks..
[04:46] <gamerx> ActionParsnip, http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=56070306d42a0c27c737275377c1583943fc81fe
[04:46] <dejavou42> greezmunkey: then I did " sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[04:47] <greezmunkey> dejavou42: I was going to say to try doing that, and then stop the network manager app. Once network-manager os off, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart - and see if you can ping. If so, then get into resolv.conf and setup a dns server so you can use the web.
[04:47] <dejavou42> greezmunkey: to stop network manager app, just remove it from panel?
[04:47] <Dr_Willis> chills518:  yea. theres some sort of extra security that win7 can use. that breaks some things, revielws some bugs in samba.
[04:48] <greezmunkey> dejavou42: no, kill it.
[04:48] <NeoCicak> r00t4rd3d: i installed it
[04:48] <sam-_-> taraduffy, which version of ubuntu are you running?
[04:49] <guiness> i cant get 10.10 to run on my book
[04:49] <yop129> noonian: nope, just trying to access a video file through vlc, that did it, i looked everywhere mount, media, everywhere, but yeah it ended up being hidden folder, that;s why i said it was kind of odd they made it like that, apparently u can't access the mount under places in vlc's open dialog
[04:49] <taraduffy> sam-_-: 10.10
[04:50] <noonian> vlc just needs a button to show hidden files
[04:50] <noonian> usually you dont want to because there are a ton of them and they clutter up the browser
[04:51] <ActionParsnip> gamerx: try: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ricotz/unstable; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get -y upgrade
[04:51] <ActionParsnip> gamerx: i'm not too good with sound stuffs, also in a terminal run: alsamixer  and be sure all levels are cranked and unmuted
[04:51] <r00t4rd3d> NeoCicak, how are you changing themes ?
[04:52] <ActionParsnip> noonian: press CTRL+H when opening the file, it will show hidden files
[04:52] <sam-_-> taraduffy, might be a bug. did you update all the way?
[04:52] <taraduffy> sam-_-: yes, up to date.
[04:52] <Dr_Willis> noonian:  vlc here has a 'show hidden files'  in its right-click menus in the file browser window
[04:53] <dejavou42> greezmunkey: killed nm-applet, then restarted networking, but eth0 did not come up, so I did ifconfig eth0 up
[04:53] <noonian> yop129, well there you go :) thanks ActionParsnip and Dr_Willis
[04:53] <yop129> noonian: yep, i've tried it before, there's a lot, still haven't really gotten used to the linux file structure, windows was much more simpler, easier to find what was where in terms of programs and the files and clutter they leave behind
[04:53] <Dr_Willis> could be im using some differnt bersion of vlc. I recall the older versions not being quite as integgerated with gnome in how stuff worked
[04:53] <yop129> Dr_Willis: i'll check it, thanks :)
[04:53] <sam-_-> taraduffy, you can try to include maverick-update if you didn't already do that
[04:53] <dejavou42> greezmunkey: it didn't come up with an ip address at all
[04:53] <Dr_Willis> yop129:  are you refering to stuff in .gvfs?
[04:54] <greezmunkey> dejavou42: that's ok, you defined it in the interfaces file?
[04:54] <guiness> yeah specific files are tough to locate.  getting to them is even tougher
[04:54] <noonian> yop129, if you say so hehe. That is one of the reasons I prefer Linux.
[04:54] <taraduffy> sam-_-: do you mean just run Update Manager?
[04:54] <guiness> but i still love linux
[04:54] <yop129> Dr_Willis: nah just general
[04:54] <yop129> noonian: why is that
[04:54] <guiness> with the exception of the flash issue
[04:54] <dejavou42> greezmunkey: sorry, I did an ifconfig, and no ip address
[04:55] <sam-_-> taraduffy, sudo software-properties-gtk
[04:55] <greezmunkey> dejavou42: you should have only needed sudo ifup eth0
[04:55] <gamerx> ActionParsnip, just going to restart brb
[04:55] <noonian> yop129, I know where programs tend to leave files around and where everything should be
[04:55] <yop129> noonian: harder to find what u need, with windows everything was either in program files or in ur user directory's locallapp folder
[04:55] <ActionParsnip> yop129: youo may find you find windows "simpler" due to experience
[04:55] <guiness> true
[04:56] <guiness> i dont ever really need to get at the individual files tho
[04:56] <ActionParsnip> yop129: I find the %windir% in windows to be hugely disorganised personally
[04:56] <taraduffy> sam_-_:  sudo software-properties-gtk gets me: WARNING: can not get name for '<gtk.TextBuffer object at 0x93f25cc (GtkTextBuffer at 0x90a8160)>'
[04:56] <greezmunkey> dejavou42: but, if you defined the interface in /etc/network/interfaces, and then restarted networking, it should have come up on its own.
[04:56] <yop129> ActionParsnip: probably, it's just in the "root" directory windows has less folders and it "seems" simpler structure
[04:56] <partyboy25> ok i am back how do i delete this one sam
[04:56] <sam-_-> taraduffy, gksu software-properties-gtk
[04:56] <partyboy25> hold on
[04:56] <noonian> yop129, I also like having all the preferences in hidden files in the home directory because I can install a completely new system and still keep my preferences
[04:56] <ActionParsnip> yop129: yes but more data in single folders rather than subfolders is less organised surely...
[04:57] <yop129> someone have some type of user guide or something where i can learn how the folder structure of linux is organized?
[04:57] <partyboy25> open jdk java 6 policy tool
[04:57] <ActionParsnip> yop129: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/linuxdir.html
[04:57] <dejavou42> greezmunkey: gotcha, did sudo ifup eth0. it went to the correct IP address, but still 100% loss on pings to router, and the route command still says that gateway is 192.168.0.0
[04:58] <noonian> yop129, http://www.comptechdoc.org/os/linux/usersguide/linux_ugfilestruct.html
[04:58] <Dr_Willis> yop129:  http://www.pathname.com/fhs/    also
[04:58] <dejavou42> greezmunkey: nm on the route command, just tested on the working box, and the first number is also 192.168.0.0
[04:59] <partyboy25> sam?
[04:59] <Dr_Willis> yop129:  and -> (worth reading) -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard
[04:59] <yop129> ActionParsnip, noonian, Dr_Willis these i'll read up on, maybe then the structure won't be as confusing, thanks for all the help
[05:00] <sam-_-> partyboy25, you said you installed icedtea?
[05:00] <sam-_-> partyboy25, then leave it installed
[05:01] <yop129> everything's looking to be getting better with 10.10, installed it like 2 weeks ago and my headphone ports which didn't work before work now, trouchscreen works now, amazing improvements
[05:01] <partyboy25> yeah i am leaving that one
[05:01] <greezmunkey> dejavou42: Sounds like the subnet, not the gateway to me...
[05:01] <partyboy25> but how do i uninstall open jdk java 6 policy tool
[05:02] <chills518> dr_willis:  that was it.  I just uninstalled all the Windows Live stuff on my windows pc and I am in.. thank you!  I have been trying to get this working now for 4 days and not once did I see any website mention the windows live stuff... thanks again!
[05:02] <sam-_-> partyboy25, icedtea depends on openjdk
[05:02] <itaylor57> sam-_-: its his java plugin tohis browser no?
[05:02] <Dr_Willis> chills518:  yea. Its aparently actually a bug in samba. from what ive reeasearched.. but MS likes installing things that most people dont need also. :) i was having the issue with windows to windows machines as well
[05:03] <yop129> gn everyone gonna go watch a movie :)
[05:03] <sam-_-> itaylor57, if he install icedtea plugin then yes
[05:04] <sam-_-> taraduffy, are you trying the update?
[05:05] <itaylor57> sam-_-: the java sun 6 plugin for mozilla could conflict with ice tea?
[05:05] <dejavou42> greezmunkey: you're not going to believe this, but I changed the subnet to 255.255.0.0, and restarted networking, and ifup eth0, and now its working....
[05:06] <chills518> on to my next and last issue... anyone know if they have a fix or workaround for getting DVDFab registration to work?
[05:06] <itaylor57> sam-_-: i came too late to the problem
[05:06] <greezmunkey> dejavou42: I would guess that the dhcp server in your router is misconfigured then.
[05:07] <greezmunkey> dejavou42: fix that problem, it will be easier than making custom adjustments on all of your machines.
[05:08] <Agu10> what's about directx getting native into ubuntu?
[05:08] <Agu10> is that just ignorants? is it wine getting built-in?
[05:09] <dejavou42> greezmunkey:
[05:09] <Dr_Willis> Agu10:  wine built in? never heard of that.   Wine does have some DX support now. the winetricks tweak script enalbrs some other DX features.
[05:09] <Agu10> ok but
[05:09] <ActionParsnip> Agu10: built into what?
[05:10] <greezmunkey> dejavou42: yes
[05:10] <Agu10> built-in into ubuntu...
[05:10] <Agu10> well then why would anyone use windows instead of wine on ubuntu?
[05:10] <dejavou42> greezmunkey: I believe its actually the ethernet port going bad on the laptop. When I move it a certain way, it works. otherwise it doesn't....
[05:10] <^mNotIntelligent> hi all !
[05:10] <Dr_Willis> Agu10:  wine is not perfect. and ti cant do 100% f all windows apps..
[05:10] <Agu10> right
[05:10] <Dr_Willis> !appdb | Agu10
[05:11] <Agu10> but I guess that's not the problem. I think what keeps people away from ubuntu is it's so hard to set up
[05:11] <dejavou42> greezmunkey: oh well, I love a good laptop motherboard swapout... crap. thanks for the help.
[05:11] <Agu10> and configure everything by using the command line...
[05:11] <Agu10> and old commands
[05:12] <greezmunkey> dejavou42: you could just be a few drops of solder away from fixing it too.
[05:12] <ActionParsnip> Agu10: wine is optional dude
[05:12] <ActionParsnip> !info wine
[05:12] <PeterFabinski> how do i add a channel
[05:12] <Agu10> ActionParsnip, yea I know... so what?
[05:12] <Dr_Willis> Agu10:  thats not really the case much these days. do you have an actual support wuestion? or are just chatting?
[05:12] <ActionParsnip> Agu10: you were saying it's built into ubuntu earlier...
[05:13] <Agu10> ActionParsnip, I heard directx was built-in
[05:13] <Agu10> so I thought they might be talking about wine actually
[05:13] <dejavou42> greezmunkey: could be, either way, they didn't make this model hp easy to take apart.
[05:13] <Agu10> Dr_Willis, actually, just chatting about ubuntu
[05:13] <nirazio> How can I change default xdg user directories?
[05:13] <ActionParsnip> Agu10: ahh i see. Wine is a translation layer for directx so you dont need to install it. Directx is already handled
[05:14] <Agu10> right. can I run wpf apps on wine?
[05:14]  * skraito say hi all
[05:14] <ActionParsnip> Agu10: whats 'wpf' stand for?
[05:14] <Agu10> am I wrong if I say running apps on wine is slower than running them on windows?
[05:14] <Agu10> ActionParsnip, sure
[05:14] <chris|linux> can some one help with a rather difficult install
[05:15] <ActionParsnip> Agu10: doom3 performs better in windows I read in some benchmarks
[05:15] <Dr_Willis> Agu10:  in some cases ive seen wine run windows apps better.
[05:15] <Agu10> Dr_Willis, cool
[05:15] <ActionParsnip> Agu10: what is a "wpu app"
[05:15] <Dr_Willis> Agu10:  it all depends on the app and what its doing.  I rarely need wine to run windows apps these days.
[05:15] <mschulze> Chris: possibly, what's the issue?
[05:15] <Agu10> windows presentation foundation (something like silverlight for desktop)
[05:15] <Agu10> windowing system
[05:15] <PeterFabinski> how do i make a channel
[05:15] <chris|linux> I am trying to get ubuntu setup on a kinda frankien machine
[05:16] <ActionParsnip> Agu10: there is silverlight for linux
[05:16] <Agu10> Dr_Willis, how do you run them then??
[05:16] <chris|linux> I need to install on an external drive and boot to it
[05:16] <dw-> Dr_Willis: when I run windows apps I do need wine
[05:16] <chris|linux> but I keep getting grub rescue prompts
[05:16] <Agu10> ActionParsnip, yeah but wpf is not silverlight, its like winforms
[05:16] <Agu10> a newer winforms
[05:16] <ActionParsnip> Agu10: i'm not familiar with winforms
[05:16] <chris|linux> wps is xml winforms
[05:16] <Agu10> no
[05:16] <ActionParsnip> chris|linux: boot to livecd and reinstall grub to the usb device
[05:17] <Agu10> wpf is how any new gui should be like
[05:17] <Agu10> but it's too slow
[05:17] <ActionParsnip> Agu10: can you give a link / screenshetc please
[05:17] <Dr_Willis> Agu10:  i dont need the windows  apps. because i find linux apps that do the same job for the most part.
[05:17] <ActionParsnip> screenshot*
[05:17] <Agu10> Dr_Willis, lol, I see
[05:17] <feanor2> is there a gui tool for directories syncronization?
[05:18] <mschulze> Chris, yeah what ActionParsnip said
[05:18] <Agu10> ActionParsnip, http://web20p-rs-g04.wikispaces.com/file/view/WPF-CAB.png/64269430/WPF-CAB.png
[05:18] <noonian> Agu10, only windows apps I need are games
[05:18] <Agu10> ActionParsnip, http://community.devexpress.com/blogs/thinking/DXGrid%20for%20WPF.png
[05:18] <Agu10> noonian, lol
[05:18] <Agu10> well, I need lots of windows apps :S
[05:18] <ActionParsnip> Agu10: could probably do that in python without too much issue
[05:18] <stenoknight> I'm having a heck of a time getting sound with gtk-recordmydesktop. I've installed pulseaudio and set recordmydesktop's device to pulse, but I can't figure out how to get sound output from espeak (running in the terminal).
[05:18] <Agu10> i'm now staying with windows :3
[05:19] <ActionParsnip> Agu10: linux isn't always the answer :D
[05:19] <Agu10> ActionParsnip, run those programs with python?
[05:19] <ActionParsnip> Agu10: no, make something similar
[05:19] <Dr_Willis> ActionParsnip:  winforms reminds me of the old Hypercard on mac, and CanDo! on Amiga, (and other similer tools) from years past. :)
[05:19] <Agu10> oh right. python is only the programming language
[05:19] <Agu10> wpf is the windowing stuff
[05:19] <ActionParsnip> Agu10: far from it, the kernel has a lot of C in it
[05:20] <stenoknight> Any ideas? I'm happy getting just the complete wave mix on my computer as default audio, though being able to not record sound from my internal mic (which would just pick up typing noises) would be a bonus.
[05:20] <Agu10> ActionParsnip, what are you talking about?
[05:20] <noonian> Agu10, wine will run most windows programs but no one will help you troubleshoot them except the wine people
[05:20] <Agu10> noonian, ok
[05:21] <mschulze> Steno, sorry I can't help you out there
[05:21] <ActionParsnip> Agu10: i suggest you consult the appdb to see if your app will run.
[05:21] <monty_hall> if I want something to run periodically in ubuntu, is there some gui app that manages tasks or do I just edit the crontab file.
[05:21] <PeterFabinskiMbl> what is wine
[05:21] <ActionParsnip> monty_hall: you can use gnome-schedule
[05:21] <ActionParsnip> !wine | PeterFabinskiMbl
[05:21] <Agu10> ActionParsnip, i want to run my own apps xD
[05:22] <sam-_-> Agu10, http://www.mono-project.com/WPF
[05:22] <feanor2> lol: wine people have 1 answer: buy cedega
[05:22] <ActionParsnip> monty_hall: if you run gnome-schedule with gksudo  the thing will run as root
[05:22] <stenoknight> mschulze: no worries. Just thought someone might have used it before. A screencasting program without the ability to record audio is kind of, um... Not terribly useful? I know it's possible to make it work. I just don't know what I need to fiddle with.
[05:22] <Agu10> feanor2, what for?
[05:22] <ActionParsnip> Agu10: yes but if they use this WPF stuff, you can search for that cant you. think about it
[05:22] <Agu10> i just dont want to use commands ever. is that possible?
[05:22] <Agu10> while still being able to set up stuff right
[05:22] <feanor2> Agu10, no
[05:22] <noonian> Agu10, yes
[05:22] <ActionParsnip> Agu10: how do you mean 'commands'?
[05:23] <Agu10> ActionParsnip, there are few programs using wpf actually...
[05:23] <monty_hall> ActionParsnip: thanks
[05:23] <Agu10> ActionParsnip, command line commands
[05:23] <sam-_-> Agu10, that's because it was doomed from the beginning
[05:23] <Agu10> sam-_-, im not talking about mono. about wine
[05:23] <ActionParsnip> Agu10: a lot of linux's power is in command line. it pays to learn it
[05:23] <noonian> Agu10, most command line programs have an optional gui frontend
[05:24] <Agu10> noonian, really most of them??
[05:24] <ActionParsnip> Agu10: a lot has been put in pretty guis so users can keep their hands glued to the mouse but as you use the OS you will see how slow the guis are and you can do most with a very simple command or 2
[05:24] <Agu10> what I dislike is those commands are old, and they don't have consistent conventions
[05:24] <PeterFabinskiMbl>  
[05:24] <rs0832> Agu10: ActionParsnip is right. That is true for all operating systems. But linux is made to be powerful so you have to know then
[05:24] <Agu10> ActionParsnip, commands require you to learn them
[05:25] <sam-_-> Agu10, lol what do you mean by old?
[05:25] <noonian> Agu10, also there is a tendency to tell people how to do something using commands because it is much faster than describing which menus to navigate through and buttons to click
[05:25] <ActionParsnip> Agu10: not really, surely using a development tool like you have learned needs you to learn them too..
[05:25] <Agu10> sam-_-, they are VERY old... they are no real rules so that you know which parameter to use on all of them
[05:25] <Agu10> they change from command to command
[05:26] <ActionParsnip> Agu10: you will learn them just as you learned windows and the other stuff I'm sure you use
[05:26] <Agu10> ActionParsnip, actually, I just guess for most GUIs... i dont need to learn them
[05:26] <Agu10> I end up learning them if I use them a lot
[05:26] <noonian> Agu10, commands are just the names of installed pieces of software. some are scripts and some are actual binary files. So the commands available is dependent on the software installed
[05:26] <rs0832> Agu10: typing <command> -h should tell you how to use a command
[05:26] <Agu10> I guess keyboard shortcuts for GUIs are faster than command line commands, right?
[05:26] <noonian> Agu10, and man <comand> will give you info also
[05:26] <ActionParsnip> Agu10: exactly, guis exist in linux / ubuntu but they are terribly slow compared to their command line counterparts
[05:27] <Agu10> right but commands are so old that you have to read separate docs
[05:27] <ActionParsnip> Agu10: depends on what they do etc, you can form complex scripts in shell script then have a shortcut launch it
[05:27] <Agu10> like -h or man
[05:27] <Agu10> whereas on GUIs you automatically have the info in the tooltip
[05:27] <noonian> Agu10, for instance it is easy to move all files from a directory with a specific word in the name to a difference one with one command, with a gui you need to click on each file.
[05:27] <ActionParsnip> Agu10: as you use them you dont use them, there are also helps online which give example commands
[05:28] <rs0832> Agu10: you don't have to learn everything.. just important, frequently used ones
[05:28] <eroick> I'm trying to get a script to run at startup, but it won't. I've put it into /etc/init.d and made it +x, then ran update-rc.d scriptname defaults, but it does not run...
[05:28] <feanor2> how to sort the text file?
[05:28] <Agu10> noonian, actually, with a gui you can just type them and use keyboard shortcuts
[05:28] <feanor2> tried to use kate but it seemingly cannot
[05:28] <Cha0s> ikonia
[05:29] <ActionParsnip> Agu10: until you have used linux as long as you have used windows so it is a fair comparison, you cant really speculate
[05:29] <Agu10> they are old since documentation is separated from the program and it's hard to access
[05:29] <chris|linux> ok I can't find anything on reinstall grub and pointers on were to look
[05:29] <sam-_-> eroick, is the link to the script in /etc/rc2.d/ ?
[05:29] <noonian> Agu10, how would you select all files with the word "old" in the title inside a directory using a gui without clicking the files?
[05:29] <ActionParsnip> Agu10: the man pages are part of the installation of the package and are accessed by the common command:: man
[05:29] <rs0832> Agu10: most linux programs come with regularly updated documentation
[05:30] <Agu10> ActionParsnip, still mac OSX is easier than linux, and I have used osx really short time...
[05:30] <eroick> sam-_-: yes, as S80scriptname
[05:30] <feanor2> File/Select files/*old* lol
[05:30] <ActionParsnip> Agu10: i have used both windows and linux for a very long time and  administered both on LANs, I find Linux waaay easier and more automatable
[05:30] <noonian> Agu10, mac osx has the same default command line interface; bash.
[05:30] <Agu10> noonian, you search for old, and then with arrow keys I guess
[05:31] <ActionParsnip> Agu10: the only way to get windows even close is to use powershell
[05:31] <feanor2> how to sort a file in Kate or some other way?
[05:31] <eroick> sam-_-: and the script works fine if I execute the symlink
[05:31] <Agu10> noonian, but you dont really need it
[05:31] <bucky> eroick, where is the script located?
[05:31] <eroick> bucky: /etc/init.d/
[05:31] <Agu10> yes, im not saying commands are bad
[05:31] <PeterFabinskiMbl> Agu10, ActionParsnip , go argue somewhere
[05:31] <Agu10> commands are bad as they are now
[05:32] <Agu10> they're old and haven't been updated to latest tech
[05:32] <PeterFabinskiMbl> else
[05:32] <DarkStar> hey guys
[05:32] <Agu10> so that when you type a command a dropdown menu appears with all options
[05:32] <Agu10> and info on what each one does...
[05:32] <rs0832> Agu10: Also, debugging and fixing of errors is much easier if you use CLI because it gives you recognizable errors. A GUI just doesnt open
[05:32] <sam-_-> eroick, it should run. did you use /etc/init.d/skeleton?
[05:32] <PeterFabinskiMbl> DarkStar, hi
[05:32] <DarkStar> i got a problem can anyone help
[05:32] <rs0832> DarkStar: Sure
[05:32] <skraito> what problem dark ?
[05:32] <ActionParsnip> DarkStar: wassup?
[05:32] <Agu10> rs0832, it could as well send a message box saying what the error is...
[05:32] <eroick> sam-_-: nope... i just had a simple script.
[05:33] <rs0832> DarkStar: Ask and if someone knows a solution, they will :)
[05:33] <izinucs> skraito: a shortened nick doesn't get highlighted
[05:33] <rs0832> Agu10: not always
[05:33] <noonian> Agu10, what if the entire window manager is down?
[05:33] <PeterFabinskiMbl> DarkStar, what problem
[05:33] <DarkStar> when i am playing any vid on youtube i don't get the sound
[05:33] <Agu10> rs0832, also, you could make every program open a command line if they have an error
[05:33] <feanor2> how to sort a file in Kate or some other way?
[05:33] <ActionParsnip> DarkStar: do you get sound elsewhere?
[05:33] <rs0832> Agu10: brasero, nautilus, ubuntu software center, etc.. dont
[05:33] <sam-_-> eroick, and if you type runlevel it is 2?
[05:33] <Agu10> rs0832, they were badly engineered?
[05:33] <rs0832> Agu10: not exactly
[05:34] <DarkStar> when i play music files yes but not with internet vids
[05:34] <Agu10> noonian, what if the command line is down?
[05:34] <noonian> Agu10, then so is the gui :P
[05:34] <ActionParsnip> DarkStar: can you use: http://pastie.org  to give the output of:  dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep swf; dpkg -l | grep gnash; lsb_release -a
[05:34] <DarkStar> ok
[05:34] <Agu10> noonian, no
[05:34] <rs0832> Agu10: the command line doesnt work means nothing else works:)
[05:34] <Agu10> xD
[05:34] <Agu10> maybe
[05:34] <monty_hall> in the ubuntu crontab what is the "#" (first field) used for.  BSD doesn't have one.
[05:34] <eroick> sam-_-: N 2
[05:34] <PeterFabinskiMbl> DarkStar, is it just youtube or other sites
[05:34] <Agu10> but still you will use commands just in case the window manager is down?
[05:35] <DarkStar> didn't tried
[05:35] <rs0832> Agu10: yes
[05:35] <Agu10> that's mad
[05:35] <ActionParsnip> Agu10: tel you what, you use what you use, we'll use what we use and we'll all be happy :)
[05:35] <noonian> Agu10, all the software to keep the os running has to reason to have a graphics, all that does is slow down the computer and introduce added complexity that causes more bugs, errors, and crashes
[05:35] <PeterFabinskiMbl> maybe its youtube. try a different music site
[05:35] <noonian> Agu10, which is why mac, linux, and windows (for the most part) keep the gui seperate from the os
[05:35] <monty_hall> nm :P
[05:36] <noonian> Agu10, the mac operating system is open source btw, its called darwin. Its the GUI that you are paying for.
[05:36] <Agu10> ok but then why doesn't command lines have dropdowns to know what each command does?
[05:36] <Agu10> and all its options
[05:36] <sam-_-> eroick,  it should run. but maybe i'm wrong. try using the skeleton and paste your script in there
[05:36] <rs0832> Agu10: it does
[05:36] <izinucs> Agu10: that's what man pages are for
[05:36] <noonian> Agu10, they have files describing what they do
[05:36] <ActionParsnip> Agu10: because the dropdown would be massive
[05:36] <fms6468> Question: How can I restart directly into terminal. I have 10.10 installed.
[05:36] <rs0832> Agu10: just type <command> -h
[05:36] <dhanijeremy> need help. all my media files audio & video plays too fast like it is being fast forward, it was working perfectly before & i get no sound.
[05:36] <ActionParsnip> Agu10: its not practical at all
[05:37] <rs0832> Agu10: or man <command>
[05:37] <izinucs> Agu10: or man cp
[05:37] <Agu10> lol typing -h or man is too slow
[05:37] <feanor2> how to sort a file in Kate or some other way?
[05:37] <ActionParsnip> Agu10: read: man mencoder   it's online if you dont have linux, it's massive
[05:37] <Agu10> it meants you have to first open another terminal and read all the docs
[05:37] <DarkStar> here is the output http://pastie.org/1389071
[05:37] <noonian> Agu10, a dropdown is not enough space to tell you how to use a non trivial piece of software
[05:37] <sam-_-> eroick, /etc/init.d/README the readme seems to emphasize my suspicion
[05:37] <Agu10> whereas you could just have a dropdown and choose with arrow keys which command to choose
[05:38] <Agu10> noonian, most options are trivially explained...
[05:38] <ActionParsnip> Agu10: its not practical
[05:38] <Agu10> right?
[05:38] <izinucs> Agu10: you obviously don't remember the pure MS Dos days.. no gui.. just dos.. and a reference manual you *might* have gotten when you bought that $2500 computer with 16 megs of ram...
[05:38] <Agu10> or at least they should be trivial to use
[05:38] <cyphase> what the best way to encrypt on-the-fly and backup files via ssh?
[05:38] <Agu10> izinucs, i wasnt born then...
[05:38] <noonian> Agu10, also, how do you choose a drop down option from within a script?
[05:39] <phanindraramesh> what is the software for mp3 cutter in ubuntu
[05:39] <izinucs> Agu10: my point exactly
[05:39] <rs0832> Agu10: yes but you would have to pres the up/down key hundreds of times to reach a script
[05:39] <PeterFabinskiMbl> how do i password protect a folder, if possible?
[05:39] <DarkStar> the output of dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep swf; dpkg -l | grep gnash; lsb_release -a is this http://pastie.org/1389071
[05:39] <ActionParsnip> Agu10: my terminal has a possible 2265 commands, then there are all the options. Do you SERIOUSLY think a drop down is practical
[05:39] <Agu10> noonian, you get that drop down in the IDE / script editor
[05:39] <feanor2> how to SORT a file in Kate or some other way?
[05:39] <Agu10> rs0832, no. you just start typing it...
[05:39] <monty_hall> any recommendation to periodically backup user directories?  I current have a cron task that just tar's directories.  Does ubuntu have anything like this?
[05:40] <Agu10> also, they should be object oriented then...
[05:40] <Agu10> and with proper naming
[05:40] <monty_hall> .. that's canned or some bin for this specific purpose.
[05:40] <rs0832> Agu10: autocomplete?
[05:40] <Agu10> files.open myfile.txt
[05:40] <ActionParsnip> DarkStar: sudo apt-get --purge remove adobe-flashplugin; sudo dpkg -P flashplugin-installer; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[05:40] <feanor2> monty_hall, technically, but it's very primitive
[05:40] <Agu10> :P
[05:40] <noonian> Agu10, object oriented has no meaning in this context.
[05:40] <Agu10> rs0832, autocomplete with a dropdown
[05:40] <sam-_-> Agu10, object orientation doesn't solve everything.
[05:40] <Agu10> noonian, why not?
[05:40] <ActionParsnip> Agu10: whynot just use cat or less to open a text file
[05:40] <feanor2> !OT
[05:40] <sam-_-> noonian, actually it does
[05:40] <Agu10> object oriented I mean organized in categories, etc
[05:41] <ActionParsnip> Agu10: this is all offtopic for this channel
[05:41] <Agu10> am i not talking about ubuntu?
[05:41] <ActionParsnip> Agu10: it will be chatted about ni #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:41] <izinucs> ActionParsnip: pastie.org has a *horrible* color scheme.. very hard to read.. pastebin.com works better for me.
[05:41] <ActionParsnip> Agu10: this is support ONLY
[05:41] <sam-_-> noonian, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_PowerShell
[05:41] <Agu10> ok
[05:41] <rs0832> Agu10: actually more about cli and GUI:)
[05:41] <ActionParsnip> izinucs: you can change the scheme with the drop down
[05:42] <rs0832> Agu10: i agree.. may be this is better for #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:42] <dhanijeremy> HELP!: all my media files audio & video plays too fast like it is being fast forward, it was working perfectly before & i get no sound. can someone email me the solution?
[05:42] <izinucs> ActionParsnip: ah.. ok.. much better.. the default is hard on my old eyes
[05:42] <ActionParsnip> izinucs: put it on brilliance black and you have no issue :)
[05:43] <sam-_-> dhanijeremy, why email?
[05:43] <sam-_-> dhanijeremy, what media player are you using?
[05:43] <EnigmaticCoder> good night all
[05:43] <izinucs> ActionParsnip: no that is not as easy as "Clean"..
[05:43] <dhanijeremy> i'm going out now... working...
[05:43] <ActionParsnip> izinucs: i use it because every other user uses pastebin.com plus pastie doesnt have all the stuff on the left showing other users pastes. Who cares
[05:43] <ActionParsnip> izinucs: do you really need to see the last few posts by some random punters?
[05:43] <ActionParsnip> izinucs: not clean at all
[05:44] <noonian> sam-_-, maybe I am mistaking his argument?
[05:44] <rs0832> Is there any reason why ubuntu (brasero) does not let me burn the ubuntu 10.10 desktop iso  to a 700 mb cd? (Error- Please replace the disc with a supported one)
[05:44] <sam-_-> noonian, maybe. he was on a rant anyway.
[05:44] <ActionParsnip> rs0832: did you MD5 test the ISO?
[05:44] <dhanijeremy> sam my email is htc.dhani@gmail.com
[05:44] <rs0832> ActionParsnip: yep
[05:44] <sam-_-> noonian, what i wanted to say is that objectorientation in  a shell can make sense
[05:44] <DarkStar> ActionParsnip,  still the sound isn't working
[05:45] <ActionParsnip> rs0832: i recommend gnomebaker. I have nothing but grief with brasero
[05:45] <sam-_-> noonian, like in the PowerShell
[05:45] <feanor2> how to SORT a file in Kate or some other way?
[05:45] <ActionParsnip> DarkStar: well now you have the right plugin at least
[05:45] <izinucs> ActionParsnip: not sure what you mean by "last few .. random punters" but for just readability sake.. clean works  better for me.. now if it was a black background with green lettering that would sufice.
[05:45] <rs0832> ActionParsnip: k .. will try, thanks:)
[05:45] <izinucs> rs0832: the other option is k3b.. it's a kde app but will run fine on gnome.
[05:45] <ActionParsnip> izinucs: make a paste on pastebin.com then read the left colomn, look at all that pointless stuff
[05:46] <sam-_-> dhanijeremy, come back into irc when your done working. then we will help
[05:46] <rs0832> izinucs: ok thanks :)
[05:46] <dhanijeremy> ok then
[05:46] <noonian> sam-_-, I see your point, but PowerShell seems like a domain specific programming language in its own right. I thought he was talking about a menu feature at an application level
[05:46] <dhanijeremy> thanks
[05:46] <izinucs> ActionParsnip: yea but I only pay attention to what's relevant.. conditioning to ignoring google adds on searches etc.
[05:46] <sam-_-> noonian, ok. i'm tired. forgive me :-)
[05:47] <ActionParsnip> izinucs: sure but the page isnt clean, pastie's is
[05:47] <ActionParsnip> DarkStar: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=204022    or     http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1493233
[05:47] <noonian> sam-_-, me too thanks for the insight :)
[05:47] <guiness> are there any cutting edge devs in the linux world right now ??
[05:47] <izinucs> ActionParsnip: you are right.. but the default color scheme isn't for me anyway.. glad to see that I can change it.
[05:47] <sam-_-> guiness, depends on how you define cutting edge
[05:47] <holoseen> Is it normal that a boot from a usb flash startup drive (2GB) netbook remix is going to be much slower than a spinning platter hd?
[05:47] <noonian> guiness, yes but maybe not in the chat :P
[05:48] <izinucs> guiness: the answer is "of course".......
[05:48] <guiness> i was hoping for company names
[05:48] <sam-_-> guiness, hint !Microsoft
[05:48] <ActionParsnip> izinucs: thats for the user to decide and you can change :)
[05:49] <guiness> sam- in the linux world??
[05:49] <guiness> if that is true then why does linux video perf. fall soo short of windows
[05:49] <izinucs> ActionParsnip: of course. and you pointed me in the right direction.. I didn't realize you could change the color scheme.. :)
[05:49] <sam-_-> guiness, that actually depends on the graphics card you have
[05:50] <ActionParsnip> izinucs: no worries, every day is a school day :)
[05:50] <guiness> i have a gateway nv79 book
[05:50] <sam-_-> guiness, nvidia
[05:50] <sam-_-> guiness, ?
[05:51] <guiness> umm i think intel graphics
[05:51] <ActionParsnip> guiness: lspci | grep -i vga   will tell you
[05:51] <noonian> in a terminal
[05:51] <sam-_-> guiness, so it should perform pretty well in linux
[05:52] <guiness> yeah intel
[05:52] <guiness> web video totally sucks
[05:52] <ActionParsnip> guiness: which model!?
[05:52] <sam-_-> ActionParsnip, intel hd
[05:52] <noonian> guiness, that might be the version of flash you have installed if it is flash video
[05:52] <ActionParsnip> guiness: poor config dude, a biot of config and it'll fly
[05:53] <guiness> i have the latest beta
[05:53] <noonian> guiness, if you are using the free version you might try the non-free version
[05:53] <ActionParsnip> guiness: what is the output of:  lsb_release -c
[05:53] <sam-_-> guiness, yeah. that's adobes fault
[05:54] <guiness> non free version
[05:54] <guiness> ??
[05:54] <eroick> sam-_-: changed it to use skeleton, still no dice.
[05:54] <ActionParsnip> guiness: what is the output of:  lsb_release -c   please
[05:55] <sam-_-> guiness, but still you should be able to play 1080p reasonably well. it works for me. i got intel hd too
[05:55] <guiness> im on 10.04
[05:55] <guiness> it is lucid
[05:55] <ActionParsnip> guiness: some xorg.conf files which should help: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+question/133717
[05:55] <sam-_-> eroick, then i'm afraid i can't help
[05:56] <ActionParsnip> guiness: Lucid is released so isn't the "latest beta", maverick has been released since
[05:56] <guiness> actionparsnip  res is not my issue
[05:56] <guiness> web video
[05:56] <ActionParsnip> guiness: and natty is coming soon in april
[05:57] <eroick> sam-_-: yeah, its pretty odd. i can even use 'service scriptname start' and start it
[05:57] <guiness> i cant install 10.10
[05:57] <sam-_-> ActionParsnip, i think he meant flash beta
[05:57] <ActionParsnip> guiness: the option may make the flash run a little nicer
[05:57] <izinucs> sam-_-: ActionParsnip perhaps flash squared for 64 bit
[05:57] <guiness> ok thanx
[05:58] <noonian> how can you tell what version of flash is installed?
[05:58] <sam-_-> izinucs, i'm running 32-bit because of flash :-)
[05:58] <newbie> I tried installing ubuntu restricted extras but the download failed
[05:58] <sam-_-> noonian. about:plugins in your browser
[05:58] <izinucs> sam-_-: flash squared works pretty well.. for most everything on 64 bit..

[05:58] <SC-C> how to change desktop login manager from GDM to KDM
[05:58] <newbie> I'm not sure what to do
[05:59] <sam-_-> izinucs, ok. good to know
[05:59] <izinucs> SC-C: on the screen where you login there should be a menu option to do that..
[05:59] <noonian> sam-_-, thanks
[05:59] <ActionParsnip> izinucs: are you using the 64bit adobe plugin?
[05:59] <izinucs> ActionParsnip: I am on my desktop
[05:59] <SC-M> that's changing the DE
[05:59] <SC-M> i mean, the Login Screen
[05:59] <newbie>  I tried installing ubuntu restricted extras but the download failed, subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 128

[06:10] <sam-_-> gigaclon, there in moonlight.
[06:10] <sam-_-> gigaclon, but it's not as mature as silverligth
[06:11] <rs0832> giglaclon: http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Internet/Firefox-Extensions/Novel-Moonlight-37840.shtml
[06:11] <noonian> izinucs, wow, does that work with netflicks?
[06:11] <ActionParsnip> Shawn146: unity uses mutter right now but it's planned to use compiz in natty
[06:11] <sam-_-> noonian, it doesn't to my knowledge
[06:11] <Shawn146> oh
[06:11] <izinucs> noonian: netflicks doesn't support linux even though they use linux on the backend to do business.
[06:11] <newbie> ActionParsnip: hey after entering line 8 I get an error message:sudo: aptitude: command not found
[06:11] <gigaclon> netflixs is the only reason to do it
[06:11] <Shawn146> \are there still cool things in ubuntu?
[06:11] <gigaclon> yeah
[06:12] <noonian> izinucs, yeah its lame, one of the only things missing from my desktop
[06:12] <izinucs> _______________: quit
[06:12] <_______________> ?
[06:12] <_______________> I am not doing that
[06:12] <_______________> That is another line.

[06:13] <feanor2> how to SORT a file in Kate editor or some other way?? ffs
[06:14] <Diamondcite> Sort a text file?
[06:14] <feanor2> yes
[06:14] <sam-_-> feanor2 what is wrong with cat <file> |sort
[06:14] <newbie> noonian: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
[06:14] <izinucs> feanor2: you might also ask in #kubuntu or #linux or #kde
[06:14] <Diamondcite> I don't think kate has such an ability..
[06:14] <feanor2> lol it's damned filterm i need inplace sort
[06:15] <Diamondcite> feanor2: Please consider the sort command or open it with openoffice/libreoffice.
[06:15] <Diamondcite> calc takes just about anything as spreadsheet :)
[06:15] <noonian> newbie, oh maybe aptitude just isnt installed, I thought it was by default but I dont even have it installed
[06:16] <ActionParsnip> newbie: just change it for apt-get   then, it'll still work
[06:16] <Dr_Willis> noonian:  aptitude is not installed by default any more i think.
[06:16] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: was just using marco's command lump he likes to throw around ;)
[06:17] <Dr_Willis> actually is synaptic even installed by default any more? I was thinking it was getting removed also.
[06:18] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: dont think so, i think its all software centre now
[06:18] <newbie> ActionParsnip: What should it so just type that in(" apt-get")
[06:18] <newbie> ?
[06:18] <sam-_-> that's said because software centre sucks
[06:19] <ActionParsnip> newbie: just replace any occurrences of aptitude with apt-get
[06:20] <Dr_Willis> software center needs some sort of 'tag' feature. its way too hard to find stuff i know thats in there. :)
[06:20] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: it needs to run faster too, waaay to slow for my liking
[06:21] <Dr_Willis> its nice how it can be installing stuff then i can be selecting/searching for other things to install..
[06:22] <Dr_Willis> but i fguess if they add too many features. it will get to 'complex' :)
[06:23] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: yeah i like that, add stuff to install whicle other stuff is installing :0
[06:23] <sam-_-> either way it sucks currently
[06:23] <challapradyumna> hii
[06:23]  * sam-_- needs to sleep
[06:24] <sam-_-> gb. cu
[06:24] <diz_Child> vmpk

[06:27] <newbie> ActionParsnip: yeah i didn;t have the internet connect when I installed ubuntu on the computer

[06:41] <PeterFabinskiMbl> ?
[06:41] <lordguck> good morning: I am faced with an odd ssd problem. Until yesterday I was using ubuntu netbook 10.04 on a a-data 64gb ssd card. all of a sudden after an update reboot it is reported (even in bios) as 128gb! dd even produces a 128gb dump. testdisk/fdisk can not find a partition anymore :-( Any idea how to recover the data intact?
[06:41] <Dr_Willis> RayGalinato:  you edited /etc/sysctl.conf ? if so then yes the changes get reapplied on every reboot
[06:42] <Dr_Willis> RayGalinato:  looking at that file. Its all 'comments' so if you remove any changes. it would be back to the defaults.
[06:42] <RayGalinato> Dr_Willis: Thank you! That helps a lot :)
[06:42] <PeterFabinskiMbl> @now EST
[06:43] <Dr_Willis> RayGalinato:  Logical way to do things. :) I had to mess with the -> #kernel.printk = 3 4 1 3
[06:43] <Dr_Willis> RayGalinato:  line just the other day for a laptop with some odd hardware
[06:43] <r00t4rd3d> PeterFabinskiMbl, what command do you use to start it ?
[06:44] <Dr_Willis> wow - some how the zeitguiest activity journal can log that i used vi to check out sysctrl.conf :) wonder how it does that.
[06:45] <PeterFabinskiMbl> maybe i'm on the wrong channel. is there one for BackTrack?
[06:45] <ohir> Dr_Willis: .viminfo
[06:46] <ohir> PeterFabinskiMbl: check a) if you autostart nm-applet b) whether you touched /etc/network/interfaces
[06:47] <ohir> PeterFabinskiMbl: nm-applet no longer competite with someone who know that file exists
[06:48] <ohir> compete*
[06:48] <rs0832> PeterFabinskiMbl: #backtrack-linux
[06:48] <PeterFabinskiMbl> rs0832, thanks
[06:49] <newbie> izinucs: hey can you paste that upgrade line again? when i closed firefox my clipboard was erased

[06:57] <Us3r_Unfriendly> newbie: have you tried irssi or weechat?  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rShwAB62qM&hd=1

[06:57] <newbie> izinucs: ahh I closed the terminal already but I don't think it did
[06:57] <izinucs> sresu: no idea.. my systems have a mix of kde and gnome apps.. desktop is kubuntu .. laptop is ubuntu.. both have a mix
[06:58] <newbie> Us3r_Unfriendly: no, I'll give those a try in a bit
[06:58] <izinucs> gotta run.. sorry guys.
[06:58] <Dr_Willis> Syria:  if you cant even ssh into a remote box. doing stuff likle that that on it will be a bit hard
[06:59] <Syria> Dr_Willis I have just hired a server with ubuntu 10.4 lucid installed on it but I don't know how to ssh to it so i can install apache and mysql.
[06:59] <Dr_Willis> Syria:  ssh ip#
[06:59] <Dr_Willis> Syria:  or hostname or whatever its called.
[06:59] <Dr_Willis> !ssh | Syria
[06:59] <nirazio> How to install opsview in lucid??
[07:00] <maxinux61> Anyone know if it is possible to get 3D working on an Intel 855 chip set?
[07:00] <Syria> Dr_Willis Thank you I will read it.
[07:00] <Dr_Willis> maxinux61:  you may want to check the forums for that exact chipset.
[07:00] <Us3r_Unfriendly> nirazio: are you talking about nagios?  server monitoring package?
[07:01] <maxinux61> DR_Willis: I did most of the posts say it is not possible because the devs disabled in in 10.10.
[07:01] <Syria> Dr_Willis Do you think that the ssh server is installed on the vps?
[07:01] <maxinux61> I was hoping to get a work around.
[07:01] <Dr_Willis> maxinux61:  perhaps it will get reneabled in 11.04 - or the ppa's for the lateext X will have it.
[07:02] <Dr_Willis> Syria:  how can i tell.. its your server.  if they dont have ssh setup.. then how are they expecting you do actually 'do' anything on it?
[07:02] <newbie> thanks everyone so much
[07:02] <nirazio> Us3r_Unfriendly: Yes
[07:02] <Syria> Dr_Willis Thanks again.
[07:02] <maxinux61> Dr_Willis: Thanks, I will check the PPA's.
[07:02] <Us3r_Unfriendly> nirazio:      sudo apt-get install nagstamon
[07:04] <vinus> Which is the fastest downloader for ubuntu?
[07:05] <industrialphreak> feeds them some kimchi
[07:06] <Us3r_Unfriendly> nirazio: I think i'm going to do something different today and tell you how to find it in Ubuntu.  Open a terminal and type in:       sudo apt-get update         then:         sudo apt-cache search opsview                 then it will come up with the name of the package in the repositories.  I guess this is for everyone that doesn't know package names.  Also synaptic is a great gui front-end for
[07:06] <Us3r_Unfriendly>  apt-get.  It'll be easier to you synaptic
[07:06] <Us3r_Unfriendly> *use synaptic
[07:06] <ActionParsnip> Us3r_Unfriendly: apt-cache doesn't need sudo ;)
[07:07] <Us3r_Unfriendly> ActionParsnip: take that back...no sudo....but installing you'll need sudo from the command line
[07:08] <ActionParsnip> Us3r_Unfriendly: just the cache, users can search :D
[07:08] <Us3r_Unfriendly> ActionParsnip: i usually don't use sudo at all
[07:08] <nirazio> Us3r_Unfriendly: Nothing cane up in the result
[07:08] <ActionParsnip> Us3r_Unfriendly: for apt-get you will, users can't install packages
[07:08] <Us3r_Unfriendly> ActionParsnip: but also for apt-get update you'll need sudo
[07:08] <Us3r_Unfriendly> nirazio: what version of ubuntu you say?
[07:08] <ActionParsnip> Us3r_Unfriendly: true but for apt-cache it's not needed
[07:08] <nirazio> Us3r_Unfriendly: ubuntu 10.04
[07:08] <Us3r_Unfriendly> Thnx for your imput ActionParsnip
[07:09] <jorgeluis> hey guys i need some help
[07:09] <Us3r_Unfriendly> nirazio: are you using the ubuntu repos
[07:09] <Us3r_Unfriendly> nirazio: you should have the package in 10.04
[07:10] <nirazio> Us3r_Unfriendly: I think i should add the repo for installing opsview..
[07:10] <nirazio> What should i add???
[07:10] <vinus> how can i run a tar.gz file?
[07:10] <Us3r_Unfriendly> nirazio: that would be good
[07:11] <pickett_> what do i type to uncompress a *.tar.gz file?
[07:11] <Us3r_Unfriendly> vinus: we use that package for pacman in Arch, you'll want the .deb of the package your trying to install
[07:12] <Us3r_Unfriendly> pickett_: to uncompress you need to use gzip.   I would say look at this:       man gzip
[07:13] <neiln> how to run .tar.gz files in my 10.10
[07:13] <vinus> Us3r_Unfriendly:i download it from a site,it only provide tar.gz file...
[07:13] <Us3r_Unfriendly> pickett_: then also man tar
[07:13] <feanor2> !rtfm
[07:13] <Us3r_Unfriendly> vinus: what program is it?
[07:13] <vinus> gmobile....
[07:13] <neiln> !.tar.gz
[07:15] <Us3r_Unfriendly> vinus: have you tried:            sudo apt-get install gmobilemedia
[07:15] <Dr_Willis> !info unp
[07:15] <ActionParsnip> just use unp, it's badass
[07:16] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: unp-five!
[07:16] <Dr_Willis> unp - has the official ActionParsnip  seal of Approval (AP)
[07:16] <vinus> yes bro y im doing this is bcoz my net is slow....so like to download it externally and install...
[07:17] <Us3r_Unfriendly> vinus: ?
[07:17] <Us3r_Unfriendly> vinus: so you like to download from another machine and install that way....are you downloading from a windows machine?
[07:18] <Us3r_Unfriendly> never mind

[07:36] <Mr18> How do I make ubuntu set my mounts as read - write?
[07:36] <Mr18> because it is setting this to read only
[07:37] <dnivra> francisco, please try to say everything in a single line. makes it easier to read. don't worry about your english-you made sense so far. take your time.
[07:37] <bullgard> Mr18: see 'man mount'
[07:37] <Dr_Willis> Mr18:  if you are refering to NTFS filesystems? or what?
[07:37] <Mr18> Well, it's my psp.
[07:37] <Dr_Willis> Mr18:  for ntfs/vfat - install  and run the ntfs-config tool  perhaps.
[07:37] <Mr18> I can't drag files into it.
[07:37] <francisco> I install it Xubuntu 10.04 64 bits on / were ubuntu 10.4 32 BITS WAS, then i can't see The /home folder that I was on ubuntu
[07:38] <Dr_Willis> francisco:  if you installed xubuntu over  the old / - it proberly reformated it.. you had /home/ on its own partition?
[07:38] <dangerFlakes> Hey everybody
[07:39] <francisco> i only click to formating / & swap and keep /home, but i only can see the partition where i install xubuntu
[07:39] <francisco> just 30 gb out of 125
[07:39] <ubuntu> dr_willis;when i type chroot in terminal it said missing operand
[07:39] <Dr_Willis> francisco:  if /home is on its own partition. then you proberly dident TELL the installer what to use for /home/  check the other filesystems/partitions and see what one is home. and mount it to access it.
[07:39] <bullgard> francisco: In a terminal, type 'df -h' and see if /home appears.
[07:40] <Us3r_Unfriendly> ubuntu: begin with

[07:40] <Mr18> Dr_Willis, thanks.
[07:40] <Us3r_Unfriendly> ubuntu: begin with:     su -
[07:40] <Dr_Willis> !movehome
[07:40] <Dr_Willis> !move-home
[07:40] <Dr_Willis> Hmm.. theres some factoid on moving the home dir.
[07:40] <Flannel> !separatehome
[07:40] <Mr18> Dr_Willis, actually that didn't work >.>
[07:41] <Dr_Willis> Mr18:  youmayneed to remount the device.
[07:41] <Us3r_Unfriendly> ubuntu: then:            chroot /whereeveryoumountto
[07:41] <Mr18> Dr_Willis, Let me check
[07:41] <Dr_Willis> Mr18:  or just access it as root.
[07:41] <francisco> welll... i think Will re-install xubuntu and put /home on the opld ubuntu partition
[07:41] <Dr_Willis> francisco:  if your home data is on /dev/sdb1 you just need to add ONE line to /etc/fstab to make it used.
[07:41] <Dr_Willis> !mount | francisco
[07:42] <francisco> damn... how much i hate to do'nt speak english very well
[07:42] <Dr_Willis> francisco:  find where yiour old-home is at via 'sudo fdisk -l' and mounting the filesystmes. to verify its there.
[07:42] <francisco> can't understand 100%
[07:42] <ubuntu> us3r_unfriendly: su  said authentication filure
[07:42] <Dr_Willis> su is not used in ubuntu :) by default. use sudo -s, or similer.
[07:42] <mouse> I want to make a release build of something for windows.  Can anyone recommend a good compiler?
[07:43] <Us3r_Unfriendly> ubuntu: sorry you'll need to type in first:        sudo passwd     to create a password for root
[07:43] <Dr_Willis> Us3r_Unfriendly:  thats not really needed  'sudo -s' will work.
[07:43] <Us3r_Unfriendly> sudo should work though
[07:43] <dnivra> francisco, i think you didn't specify during installation that /home was a separate partition. to do so, you just need to add a line to the file /etc/fstab. more details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount.
[07:43] <ubuntu> dr_willaims: ya sudo -s works to get into root
[07:43] <dnivra> mouse, i think gcc should be enough.
[07:44] <Us3r_Unfriendly> dr_williams is right.  I just dive in with su -   ...that's just me though
[07:44] <dangerFlakes_> anyone know how I can remedy this? Nvidia restricted drivers wont activate, keep getting a System error about broken pkgs
[07:44] <dnivra> mouse, but best would be compiling it in a windows machine :).
[07:44] <Us3r_Unfriendly> just kidding with you Dr_Willis
[07:44] <ubuntu> us3r_uninfriendly:now what should i do
[07:44] <Us3r_Unfriendly> Dr_Willis: / Dr_Williams
[07:45] <Us3r_Unfriendly> ubuntu: your trying to mount your drive from a live cd right?
[07:45] <ubuntu> ya
[07:45] <Dr_Willis> ubuntu:  mount your installed systemn. determnine where its mounted to. You can do that with the file manager on the live cd.
[07:45] <mouse> dnivra, Yeah I was afraid of that.  I didn't want to reboot.
[07:45] <Us3r_Unfriendly> ubuntu: you should forget the terminal for this one and open a nautilus window and select on the left your drive
[07:46] <dnivra> mouse, at the risk of something going wrong in the building? i suggest you do compile it in windows. but, choice is yours :).
[07:46] <francisco> !mount
[07:46] <Dr_Willis> sudo chroot /mnt/WhereYourSystemISMountedTo/ /bin/bash
[07:46] <Us3r_Unfriendly> ubuntu: go to places and computer or where ever, and you'll see the unmounted partition in the left panel
[07:47] <Us3r_Unfriendly> ubuntu: then a icon should pop up on your desktop
[07:48] <ubuntu> says sorry ur nautilius program closed unexceptionally
[07:48] <Us3r_Unfriendly> ubuntu: it most likely mounted that partition at:    /media/the-partition-name-here
[07:48] <dangerFlakes> pls, anyone. Nvidia restricted drivers wont activate, keep getting a System error about broken pkgs
[07:48] <Dr_Willis> dangerFlakes:  sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade,  try again.
[07:49] <Mr18> Dr_Willis, Nope. I am still getting problem with Destiantion is read only :/
[07:49] <Us3r_Unfriendly> ubuntu: then your stuck with the terminal then
[07:49] <Dr_Willis> Mr18:  mount it by hand then. or use root to access it.
[07:49] <Mr18> I already did.
[07:49] <dangerFlakes> hey dr, yeah, did that, nothing updated
[07:50] <Us3r_Unfriendly> Dr_Willis: your going to have to get into remote-connection/ssh and get paid for this
[07:51] <cryptic1> hi i know very little about firewalls networking etc and even less about command line or linux
[07:51] <cryptic1> i am wondering if i am being attacked or something from firestarter
[07:51] <cryptic1> it keeps showing blocked onnections
[07:52] <Us3r_Unfriendly> cryptic1: a good place to start is install gufw.  I never liked firestarter with iptables ever
[07:52] <cryptic1> ok ty
[07:52] <Dr_Willis> Us3r_Unfriendly:  i dont think I can be paid enough to do that.
[07:52] <nick> Hi, could anyone recommend some open source ecommerce software please
[07:52] <Us3r_Unfriendly> cryptic1: unless you like firestarter.  I just saying that of my experience with it
[07:53] <cryptic1> its all new to me so i will take ur recommendation
[07:53] <dnivra> Guest13613, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_free_and_open_source_eCommerce_software
[07:53] <dangerFlakes> Dr_Willis, no luck, rebooted, updated and upgraded, same situation
[07:53] <cryptic1> i also have klam av but i think the only thing u really neeed to worry about is key loggers on ubuntu
[07:53] <Guest13613> dnivra: I saw that, was looking for a recommendation :)
[07:53] <Us3r_Unfriendly> cryptic1: make sure to uninstall or turn of firestarter in /etc/rc.d so it doesn't boot.  You never want 2 firewalls running at the same time.  They're both are front-ends for "iptables"
[07:54] <dnivra> Guest13613, oh! okay :).
[07:54] <industry__> or just apt-get remove firestarter
[07:54] <dan_> irc.ntorrents.net
[07:54] <dan_> #NT-help
[07:54] <Us3r_Unfriendly> industry__: true
[07:54] <Mr18> Dr_Willis, Where is the directory of the filesystem, cuz I can't figure out how to mount it
[07:55] <eagles0513875> !karmic
[07:55] <eagles0513875> is karmic still supported?
[07:55] <Dr_Willis> Mr18:  in /media/ somewhere by default - you can mount it by hand whever you want
[07:55] <KB1JWQ> eagles0513875: Yes
[07:55] <eagles0513875> ok
[07:55] <krishna_37> Hi every one
[07:56] <Dr_Willis> Mr18:  sudo mkdir /media/PSP   . sudo mount /dev/XXXX /media/PSP   -t vfat -o OPTIONSYOUMAYNEED
[07:56] <krishna_37> I have a new assembled PC on which i want to install ubuntu 9.10
[07:56] <industry__> Mr18: if you haven't mounted the filesystem yet, then it is one of the device entries under /dev/, if it is an attached disk using the scsi command set, it will be an sd[x]
[07:56] <Guest13613> sure
[07:56] <krishna_37> getting error disk boot failure
[07:56] <cryptic1> ok have gufw with listening report up
[07:56] <krishna_37> can anyone help me on this
[07:56] <industry__> krishna_37 -- why an older version?
[07:57] <Dr_Willis> krishna_37:  booting the cd? or what ecactly
[07:57] <Mr18> Dr_Willis, I get mount: /media is not a block device

[07:57] <krishna_37> first want to install the OS
[07:57] <Us3r_Unfriendly> krishna_37: why 9.10 may i ask?
[07:57] <krishna_37> will upgrade
[07:57] <krishna_37> its booting CD
[07:57] <OneTonTurd> what not 10.10?
[07:57] <OneTonTurd> why.
[07:57] <dnivra> krishna_37, wouldn't it be easier to install a newer version?
[07:58] <industry__> krisha, your life will be easier if you use a newer version
[07:58] <krishna_37> its a new assembled PC
[07:58] <krishna_37> Let me try this
[07:58] <dangerFlakes> pls, anyone. Nvidia restricted drivers wont activate, keep getting a System error about broken pkgs
[07:58] <Us3r_Unfriendly> krishna_37: so you only have the 9.10 cd.  I have that too somewhere
[07:58] <krishna_37> the new version i need to download
[07:58] <Dr_Willis> !mount | Mr18
[07:58] <krishna_37> which i will start latter
[07:58] <dnivra> krishna_37, it's possible that the cd is corrupted. try checking the disk for errors.
[07:59] <industry__> Mr18: you need to mount a device under /dev/. /media is where the filesystem of that device will be attached to your filesystem tree
[07:59] <krishna_37> nope
[07:59] <Dr_Willis> Mr18: -->  sudo mount /dev/YOUNEEDTOFINDWHAT_sdX_it_is  /media/PSP   -t vfat -o OPTIONSYOUMAYNEED
[07:59] <krishna_37> I had aready used in my lapi
[07:59] <krishna_37> it worked
[07:59] <cryptic1> is there any gui app that can detect keyloggers for ubuntu. I have klam av but it cant update not sure if klam finds loggers though
[07:59] <krishna_37> will a new assembled PC cause any issues
[07:59] <Us3r_Unfriendly> krishna_37: you could download the 10.10 version or you could after you install 9.10, type in a terminal:    sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[07:59] <OneTonTurd> Couldn't you technically mount it where you wanted though. like /mnt  ?
[07:59] <Us3r_Unfriendly> krishna_37: takes longer to do it that way though
[07:59] <iszak> How do I inspect a package (not installed) to see the version?
[07:59] <Dr_Willis> dangerFlakes:  youmay want to pastebin the output of 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get upgrade' for the channel to look at.
[08:00] <Us3r_Unfriendly> OneTonTurd: yes
[08:00] <industry__> cryptic1: i don't know about gui apps, but there are rootkit scanners
[08:00] <bogdan_> vb cineva limba romana?
[08:00] <Us3r_Unfriendly> OneTonTurd: i usually mount in /media/ or /mnt/ or even my desktop...some ppl might have issues but i have never
[08:01] <cryptic1> industry_ u recommend any for a noob?
[08:01] <feanor2> !кщ
[08:01] <krishna_37> can any one help me with this version installation

[08:01] <Us3r_Unfriendly> krishna_37: what do you need help with installing?
[08:01] <cryptic1> thanks
[08:01] <dnivra> iszak, try "apt-get show <packagename>"
[08:01] <dangerFlakes> man, sorry, been drinking
[08:01] <krishna_37> cant even boot into the bootable cd
[08:01] <OneTonTurd> Us3r_Unfriendly> I just recently installed World of Warcraft this way.
[08:01] <dangerFlakes> haha
[08:02] <iszak> Thanks dnivra, always forget that.
[08:02] <Us3r_Unfriendly> OneTonTurd: ugh world of worcraft
[08:02] <dangerFlakes> upgrade and update go just fine, no errors
[08:02] <Us3r_Unfriendly> sorry i'm not a gamer
[08:02] <dnivra> iszak, no problem :)
[08:02] <dangerFlakes> its the instal of the driver that gets an error
[08:02] <OneTonTurd> Us3r_Unfriendly> mounted it to /mnt  then I just grabbed the info off the disk.
[08:02] <OneTonTurd> Us3r_Unfriendly> haha I know right.
[08:02] <krishna_37> stuck here
[08:03] <iszak> dnivra, it says invalid operation "show".
[08:03] <krishna_37> cant understand why its not booting
[08:03] <iszak> I guess you meant apt-cache?
[08:03] <dnivra> iszak, sorry "apt-cache show" :P
[08:03] <Us3r_Unfriendly> OneTonTurd: you could used the dd command to create a iso of the disk and mounted the iso too
[08:03] <Us3r_Unfriendly> but that works...i usually deal with iso's
[08:04] <iszak> dnivra, thanks once more.
[08:04] <dnivra> krishna_37, what happens when you try to boot?
[08:04] <Us3r_Unfriendly> OneTonTurd: sorry misread...if you have the disk no reason to create a iso.  need coffee
[08:04] <sacarlson> cryptic1: your working on the premiss that ubuntu/linux is as unsecure as windows.  all apps you install with ubuntu if you use packages has been verified and key verified as being the real thing
[08:04] <dnivra> iszak, no problem. sorry about the mix up :).
[08:04] <krishna_37> when i put the cd in the new PC and change the boot order to CD i am getting the error
[08:04] <krishna_37> disk boot failure
[08:04] <iszak> dnivra, some help is better than no help.
[08:05] <OneTonTurd> Us3r_Unfriendly> I actually followed a guide lol.
[08:05] <dnivra> iszak, not always :). sometimes it's best to keep quiet :).
[08:05] <cryptic1> i understand but i am a paranoid lifetime windows user pretty much
[08:05] <Us3r_Unfriendly> OneTonTurd: did it work for you?
[08:05] <karthick87> !pppoe
[08:05] <OneTonTurd> Us3r_Unfriendly> mount /dev/drivename where drive name was my cdrom1
[08:05] <industry__> cryptic1 unless you have a reason to suspect your system has been compromised, chances are you are okay.
[08:06] <cryptic1> i was downloading a bunch of music apps for wine and then that firestarter was goingg crazy with a bunch of blocked connections
[08:06] <karthick87> !internet
[08:06] <OneTonTurd> Us3r_Unfriendly> then mount -t udf -o ro,unhide,uid=1000 /dev/drivename /mountpoint  and i mounted it to /mnt
[08:06] <Us3r_Unfriendly> OneTonTurd: i converted someone from work to linux but he wanted me to install wow on his machine, but after i saw the 7 gig file to install, i said forget it.  takes like 2 days to install...time i don't have
[08:06] <cryptic1> found 2 rootkits in ubuntu software center too
[08:06] <OneTonTurd> lol
[08:06] <cryptic1> one is chrootkit
[08:06] <dnivra> !msgthebot | karthick87
[08:06] <IdleOne> those are rootkit checkers
[08:06] <sacarlson> cryptic1: virus protection is completely useless on any platform in my opinion,  if you want more security there are better ones that exist in ubuntu/linux
[08:07] <Us3r_Unfriendly> cryptic1: you found rootkits...i seriously doubt it
[08:07] <iszak> So why does Ubuntu package with Ruby 1.8 as opposed to 1.9.x?
[08:07] <OneTonTurd> Us3r_Unfriendly>  It wasn't so bad.  This is my first real time going full linux with no dual boot. so
[08:07] <cryptic1> sorry i am not very good with the terminology
[08:07] <IdleOne> cryptic1: the rootkits you found are tools used to check for rootkits
[08:07] <cryptic1> yes
[08:07] <r00t4rd3d> Us3r_Unfriendly, im gonna kill you for showing me that video

[08:08] <olx69> I try to step through virt-manager. vista32 is installed on host x64. Now I try to connect using rdp which wont work. vista has allowed remote and desktop. But on linux host I can't connect
[08:08] <olx69> any ideas
[08:08] <iszak> Dr_Willis, that's what I thought, but I believe it was.
[08:08] <iszak> Oh well, I will just make it, thanks anyway Dr_Willis.
[08:08] <IdleOne> cryptic1: if you stick to the software center you are 99.999% guaranteed safe (nothing is 100%)
[08:08] <Dr_Willis> iszak:  i doubt it.. then again. if it came out a few days/weeks bnefor.. they dont snapshot everything on the exact day
[08:08] <ohir> did it say hostip?
[08:08] <ohir> oops
[08:08] <Dr_Willis> iszak:  look for ppa's
[08:09] <sacarlson> cryptic1: one I beleave in is something like tripwire http://remoteadmin.org.uk/tutorials/42-linux/56-tripwire-ubuntu  I also note changes in my system with git  that monitors changes and my commits that I comment.
[08:10] <Us3r_Unfriendly> r00t4rd3d: why you say that?
[08:11] <zcat[1]> gdebi is a really backward step IMHO ... only a matter of time before the same "you need X codec to see this video" scam sites start including a .deb along with the usual .exe and .dmg malware installer ....
[08:11] <r00t4rd3d> didnt really know to much about compiz
[08:11] <zcat[1]> but for now you're safe ;)
[08:11] <cryptic1> thanks
[08:11] <Us3r_Unfriendly> r00t4rd3d: so your going to kill me over compiz?  that's new
[08:12] <industry__> zcat[1]: malware is always a given. no operating system can protect a user from themselves.
[08:12] <Us3r_Unfriendly> Dr_Willis: you also try to help ppl that quit on you half way through?
[08:13] <Dr_Willis> Us3r_Unfriendly:  i do have a life/./ and a sick wife..
[08:13] <Dr_Willis> Us3r_Unfriendly:  i try to help when i can.
[08:13] <Us3r_Unfriendly> Dr_Willis: I do as well
[08:13] <Dr_Willis> even if they get my name wrong 100 times
[08:13] <zcat[1]> industry__:  the whole concept of package management and trustworthy software repositories though it probably as close as you can get.. gdebi really breaks that.
[08:14] <r00t4rd3d> now i have new addiction
[08:14] <r00t4rd3d> :/
[08:14] <Us3r_Unfriendly> Dr_Willis: that's why i was calling you Dr_Williams...i started laughing after he was calling you the wrong name
[08:14] <Us3r_Unfriendly> r00t4rd3d: what's that?
[08:14] <Scutum> hello I have a question, I found this site http://www.andlinux.org/downloads.php what do you guys suggest
[08:14] <industry__> zcat[1]: there was always dpkg. gdebi makes it graphical. that's the only difference.
[08:14] <zcat[1]> It's like we threw away Linux's biggest advantage because Windows users want to be able to click an installer on a website like they do in Windows.. but they left windows because of the malware problems. Hello?!!
[08:14] <Us3r_Unfriendly> r00t4rd3d: hopefully not killing me
[08:15] <Scutum> to run linux virtually on vista
[08:15] <r00t4rd3d> nah messing with compiz
[08:15] <Scutum> :)
[08:15] <Scutum> r00t4rd3d, is that fir me?
[08:15] <industry__> so really the problem is that it's too easy. which sure, it is. which is why you need the big warnings that say only install packages from trustworthy sources.
[08:15] <Dr_Willis> Scutum:  that worked decently well when i tried it. However. Youmay need to know some linux allready to make it work right. and it was 32bit os only
[08:15] <Us3r_Unfriendly> r00t4rd3d: in that video I was using "the experimental plugins" from compiz's site.  you'll need "git"
[08:15] <r00t4rd3d> Scutum, no
[08:15] <r00t4rd3d> i got them
[08:15] <varun_> Hello world!!I have a problem with mounting.When I connect an external hard drive via usb  then automount does not work and the error exit code 1 shows up saying I need to be superuser to mount.The /etc/fstab shows "user" as one of the options.Also I changed the ownership of the mount folders to my name using--- chown +R myname foldername
[08:16] <r00t4rd3d> Scutum, just install wubi :D
[08:16] <Us3r_Unfriendly> varun_: mount the drive manually
[08:16] <zcat[1]> industry__:  I guess we'll see. I still think gdebi is a mistake
[08:16] <Us3r_Unfriendly> varun_: or change the /etc/fstab
[08:16] <Scutum> wubi
[08:16] <Scutum> ok Il give it a try
[08:16] <Scutum> thank
[08:16] <dnivra> Scutum, you could just run it in virtualbox right?
[08:16] <zephy> scutum: also virtualbox by oracle
[08:16] <zcat[1]> makes it far too easy for noobs to end up running some untrusted script as root..
[08:16] <Dr_Willis> zcat[1]:  gdebi is not installed by default any more. ubuntu software center is the default app to open .deb packages now
[08:16] <dnivra> !virtualbox | Scutum
[08:17] <zcat[1]> Dr_Willis:  Oh.. that's good!
[08:17] <zcat[1]> although does it just do the same thing gdebi did though?
[08:17] <varun_> @Us3r_Unfriendly what should I change the fstab to?
[08:17] <industry__> hardly, if the package center does the same thing. in ubuntu, though, it's not always about the apps
[08:17] <Dr_Willis> zcat[1]:  And ive never noticed gdebi being able to 'add' repos/ppa's  - it just pulls in stuff from the allready setup repos as needed
[08:17] <sacarlson> varun_: what format is this usb drive in?  ext4?
[08:17] <Dr_Willis> zcat[1]:  so i dont see gdebi being an issue
[08:17] <Us3r_Unfriendly> r00t4rd3d: wubi is not the greatest...it's Ubuntu running inside a running windows os.  If you get a bad malware that effects you so you can't boot, you'll not be able to use linux either
[08:18] <industry__> Dr_Willis: it was a graphical .deb package installer.
[08:18] <varun_> It has 3 partitions
[08:18] <industry__> from my experience with it. didn't use the repositories.
[08:18] <Dr_Willis> zcat[1]:  i have se3en .deb's that auto-add their own ppa. that could be a risk.. but so is downloading a .deb from any source in the frst place.
[08:18] <varun_> one is ntfs and the others ext3
[08:18] <zcat[1]> Dr_Willis:  no.. you go to http://scumware.org/ and you click on 'rootme.deb' and it offers to open that in gdebi (or now software centre I guess) and then prompts for the user's password so it can run it as root under gksu
[08:18] <Scutum> r00t4rd3d, is wubi the way to go you think?
[08:18] <Dr_Willis> industry__:  it pulls in ne3eded packages from the repos for a given deb.
[08:18] <Us3r_Unfriendly> varun_: i would suggest mounting it manually from the command line but you'll need "fdisk;mount;and maybe mkdir
[08:18] <r00t4rd3d> malware cant touch me
[08:19] <dangerFlakes> cant get the nvidia drivers to activate. any one know why?
[08:19] <Us3r_Unfriendly> r00t4rd3d: yeah
[08:19] <zcat[1]> just like installing some random exe or msi under windows
[08:19] <Dr_Willis> zcat[1]: so what do you expect it to do exactly?
[08:19] <Us3r_Unfriendly> r00t4rd3d: well stick to the repos for life to be more safer than
[08:19] <industry__> not exactly. at least you have to type a root password under ubuntu/linux. in windows, all you had to do was look at the file funny.
[08:19] <dnivra> Scutum, i wouldn't recommend it- partitioning is always what i'd recommend. try running it in virtualbox if you want.
[08:20] <varun_> @Us3r_Unfriendly I connect the hard drive when I need to save something but everytime I do do I need to mount it manually?Shouldnot this behaviour be automated?
[08:20] <Dr_Willis> gdebi's main feature is it can pull in needed deps for foo.deb  vs. just doing a 'sudo dpkg -i foo.deb'
[08:20] <Us3r_Unfriendly> r00t4rd3d: why did you say kill back there?  some might take that serious
[08:20] <r00t4rd3d> Scutum, wubi basically installs ubuntu like a program. When you boot you can choose windows or ubuntu
[08:20] <zcat[1]> Dr_Willis:  I'd prefer it opens some dialog that advises the user to install 'rootme' via the ubuntu repos (if the package exists)
[08:20] <Dr_Willis> Scutum:  I reccomend trying ubuntu in virtualbox if you wan tit.
[08:20] <Us3r_Unfriendly> varun_: yes it should but it isn't hard to do.
[08:20] <varun_> It is not required when I connect a Usb.Also the same external drive has a virtual CD which mounts automatically
[08:20] <Dr_Willis> zcat[1]:  i do belive ive seen such messages/dialogs in either gdebi, or the software center.
[08:20] <Scutum> Dr_Willis, a virtual box
[08:20] <Mr18> Dr_Willis, wow, all I had to do was reformat :(
[08:21] <Dr_Willis> zcat[1]:
[08:21] <sacarlson> varun_: I assume you use uuid in your fstab file?  I'm not sure about ntfs,  that could be the problem.  is ntfs the  first of the partitions?
[08:21] <dikdik> hey guys
[08:21] <Dr_Willis> zcat[1]:   'package exists in a newer version int he repos' or some such message.
[08:21] <Scutum> Dr_Willis, what virtual box do you suggest?
[08:21] <dikdik> is anyone as excited as i am over the prospect of a second korean war????
[08:21] <dikdik> :D
[08:21] <dnivra> !virtualbox | Scutum
[08:21] <Dr_Willis> Scutum:  err.. 'virtualbox' :)  from the vbox homepage
[08:21] <dnivra> !virtualbox | Scutum
[08:21] <varun_> @Us3r_Unfriendly It is not hard ,I open gparted and then click on each and say mount and that does it.
[08:21] <dikdik> anyone?
[08:21] <Us3r_Unfriendly> r00t4rd3d; Scutum i also think it's more safer to create another partition and installing ubuntu without wubi.
[08:21] <dnivra> !vbox | Scutum
[08:21] <dikdik> its going to be AWESOME
[08:21] <dnivra> !ot | dikdik
[08:22] <dikdik> dnivra: suck my fucking dick
[08:22] <Scutum> ok
[08:22] <r00t4rd3d> LOL
[08:23] <dnivra> thanks IdleOne was about to call in the ops :)
[08:23] <dangerFlakes> anyone know how I can remedy this? Nvidia restricted drivers wont activate, keep getting a System error about broken pkgs
[08:23] <zcat[1]> hmmm.. does this mean they'll make a sequel to MASH?

[08:23] <Scutum> I want to be running linux on top of windows
[08:23] <varun_> @sacarlson here is my /etc/fstab

[08:23] <Scutum> no partititon
[08:23] <Us3r_Unfriendly> that's nice dikdik
[08:23] <Dr_Willis> Scutum:  then use that anlinux. IF you got 32bit windows.
[08:23] <dangerFlakes> i was ablr to update and upgrade fine, btw, no errors there
[08:23] <Dr_Willis> Scutum:  theres other ways to do it also. but i use vbox normally
[08:23] <Scutum> ok
[08:24] <dnivra> Scutum, virtual box is best. no hassles, no worries. just you need to boot windows to use ubuntu-perfect to try out :)
[08:24] <Administrator_> hello everyone
[08:24] <Us3r_Unfriendly> Scutum: alright, Dr_Willis offered virtualbox which is a great choice, or just use wubi
[08:24] <Dr_Willis> dangerFlakes:  check the forums for tips on fixing 'broken packages'  pastebin the exact error messages for the channel to read
[08:24] <Dr_Willis> Scutum:  wubi does not run alongside windows. it installs 'under' windows.
[08:24] <Scutum> Dr_Willis, you mean adlinux right?
[08:25] <Scutum> I want something simple hussle free
[08:25] <r00t4rd3d> wubi
[08:25] <Scutum> wubi wont do it then
[08:25] <Dr_Willis> andLinux is a complete Ubuntu Linux system running seamlessly in Windows 2000 based systems (2000, XP, 2003, Vista, 7; 32-bit versions only).
[08:25] <sacarlson> varun_: I see two that must be your problem /dev/sda3  and /dev/sda4  but I thought you said they were usb drives
[08:25] <Dr_Willis> http://www.andlinux.org/
[08:25] <Scutum> Dr_Willis, thank you
[08:25] <Dr_Willis> as i said.. its 32bit ONLY..
[08:25] <r00t4rd3d> your always limited with VM's i think
[08:26] <Dr_Willis> so i cant even use it any more
[08:26] <Us3r_Unfriendly> but with wubi ubuntu will start in windows.  i believe it uses the windows mbr too
[08:26] <Dr_Willis> andlinux is a specialized qemu (i think) setup.
[08:26] <dangerFlakes> SystemError E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
[08:26] <Dr_Willis> with wubi You boot to linux, or windows.  andlinus spawns a virtual machine, that then uses xming/vnc to make linux apps appear on the windows desktop
[08:26] <r00t4rd3d> not in windows , dual boot
[08:26] <sacarlson> varun_: I'm not sure if it's possible for ntfs but you should use the uuid instead of /dev/sda4  as the drive definition
[08:26] <Scutum> Us3r_Unfriendly, I would like to use linux a a windows application
[08:27] <vipul> what is diffrence between sudo -s and sudo -i  ?

[08:28] <varun_> connected via ext USB.
[08:28] <varun_> sorry
[08:28] <varun_> all drives named sdb are problems
[08:28] <Us3r_Unfriendly> Dr_Willis: but you have the option of booting from which ever want from the windows "host", it's hard to explain but it's like it's installing it inside of windows, not creating a seperate partition
[08:28] <Weazel> is there an 'easy' way to change file type icons ? (ex: change a folder icon inside a specific theme)
[08:28] <vipul> Dr_Willis,  sory i dont understand
[08:29] <Syria> How to allow ping requests from 82.113.128.33 for example?
[08:29] <dnivra> dangerFlakes, open synaptic. click on status(at the bottom left corner) and select "broken". that should get you the broken package.
[08:29] <sacarlson> varun_: they may be mounting now but if the disk is physicaly moved to another controler or port then it can cause a problem,  but as long as they stay where they are I guess it's fine

[08:39] <Dr_Willis> rkvirani:  ubuntu dosent use runlevles like other disrtos do
[08:39] <joakimk> Dr_Willis: no, I want changes in file1 and file2 to be used, both, as long as they don't conflict...
[08:39] <Dr_Willis> !runlevel
[08:39] <intick> !ftp
[08:39] <dangerFlakes> xbmc
[08:39] <sivakumar> Dr_Willis, how to set them
[08:40] <Us3r_Unfriendly> Weazel: take a screenshot and post it on www.imageshack.us
[08:40] <Weazel> aight sec
[08:40] <deddly> dnivra: Fixed that problem, thanks!
[08:40] <Dr_Willis> sivakumar:  check the grub2 docs/guides -  It should be listed near the top opf /etc/default/grub
[08:40] <deddly> Does anyone know if there is a simple command to test sound?
[08:40] <Us3r_Unfriendly> Dr_Willis: that's why i frown apon ubuntu.  the rc levels and the xorg.conf upset me a ton when they first changed it
[08:41] <rkvirani> deddly: sound is very complicated in linux.
[08:41] <Us3r_Unfriendly> Dr_Willis: but i still love it at the same time
[08:41] <nit-wit> sivakumar, here is a great tutorial on tweaking grub2 look in the signature for more grub fun. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1287602
[08:41] <rkvirani> there are a few different sound servers.
[08:41] <deddly> rkvirani: Yes I
[08:41] <Us3r_Unfriendly> pulse and alsa
[08:41] <deddly> rkvirani: Yes I am just getting to realise that lol
[08:41] <joakimk> Dr_Willis: Did that make sense? Like, if line 1 is changed in file1, and line 3 is changed in file2, I want the output file to contain *both* of these modifications
[08:41] <Us3r_Unfriendly> to start
[08:42] <deddly> rkvirani: I just though there might be a simple sound sample I could play to see if it's working
[08:42] <Dr_Willis> joakimk:  what if theres a blank line ahead of one line thats ot changed.. it can get complex.
[08:42] <Dr_Willis> Us3r_Unfriendly:  upstart is much cleaner then sysv stuff.  it was a needed change.
[08:42] <joakimk> Dr_Willis: well, then I'd want to have that line... I see your point. But SVN does this, right?
[08:42] <Dr_Willis> joakimk:  no idea. I dont code much
[08:42] <Us3r_Unfriendly> joakimk: your going to deffinitly wanna look more into that via the web.  Rc manages the daemons and other auto starting services you'll need
[08:42] <rkvirani> Anyone know how to change the default runlevel in ubuntu, I cant find /etc/inittab!!!
[08:43] <dangerFlakes> ok, I think i figured it out, conflicting nvidia drivers
[08:43] <dangerFlakes> the one i have installed is not metting me remove it and install the correct one
[08:43] <joakimk> Us3r_Unfriendly: what's Rc?
[08:43] <Us3r_Unfriendly> Dr_Willis: i agree with upstart
[08:43] <rkvirani> deddly: I think there might be one in your home directory
[08:44] <Us3r_Unfriendly> joakimk: /etc/rc.local
[08:44] <Us3r_Unfriendly> joakimk: your runlevels
[08:44] <Dr_Willis> rkvirani:  ubuntu dosent use runlevels any more. what  are you trying to acomplish by altering runlevels?
[08:44] <joakimk> Us3r_Unfriendly: ah. Thanks.
[08:45] <deddly> rkvirani: ok...well I can't see one. Never mind
[08:45] <Dr_Willis> !inittab
[08:45] <neverwhere> any one trying out lubuntu?
[08:45] <Us3r_Unfriendly> neverwhere: never tried it
[08:45] <Dr_Willis> neverwhere:  it works decently well. lacking in a few ways, but over all - very useable
[08:45] <deddly> I have a clean install after I wrecked my sound. Can anyone please help be install the right componants to avoid buzzing/clicking audio? I want to play mp3 and I want low system demands
[08:46] <neverwhere> i agree, i am currently using it on a sandisk flash drive and running quite well :)
[08:46] <Us3r_Unfriendly> neverwhere: not saying it is bad or anything...i just never got to using it
[08:47] <Us3r_Unfriendly> neverwhere: i want to though and gentoo
[08:48] <neverwhere> to me it's rather a lesser gnome, and i'm curious with gentoo just as well.
[08:48] <Dr_Willis> You dont hear a lot about gentoo these days. :)
[08:48] <Dr_Willis> when lubuntu gets officially supported  - i bet it will take off big time
[08:48] <neverwhere> gentoo seems that it is sort of like BSD
[08:48] <r00t4rd3d> i think ive tried every linux distro made
[08:48] <neverwhere> which im also a lil curious about
[08:48] <Us3r_Unfriendly> Dr_Willis: I use a live gentoo disk to remove malware from windows machines when I have customers
[08:49] <neverwhere> what do you use on gentoo to remove crapware from windows???
[08:49] <Us3r_Unfriendly> *as a side job
[08:49] <sivakumar> deddly, whats the problem
[08:50] <meg_> how to install ymessenger
[08:50] <Dr_Willis> Us3r_Unfriendly:  i got a 10 iso's on one flash drive tool :) to do that. heh.
[08:50] <Dr_Willis> !im | meg_
[08:50] <meg_> how to install ymessenger in linux
[08:50] <Dr_Willis> meg_:  use some IM client that supports yahoo, or try meebo.com
[08:50] <r00t4rd3d> meg kmess ftw !
[08:50] <Dr_Willis> meg_:  last i checked the official yahoo program for linux - was like outdated..
[08:50] <neverwhere> meg try pidin, empathy kopete, they all support yahoo messager
[08:51] <deddly> sivakumar: I was experiencing clicking and crackling when playing sound, so I tried installing Open Sound System and nothing worked at all. Nobody could help me get ALSA back so I reinstalled the entire OS. I now have a clean install and would like to avoid the same problems.
[08:52] <meg_> were can i download ymessenger for linux and how to install it
[08:52] <Dr_Willis> deddly:  what OSS did you install exactly?
[08:52] <Dr_Willis> meg_:  are you even reading what people are saying to you?
[08:52] <meg_> kinux
[08:52] <Us3r_Unfriendly> r00t4rd3d: i made it with openshot...I got to say i like it better than pitivi
[08:52] <Weazel> Us3r_Unfriendly: sry totally missed ur request--- >  http://img17.imageshack.us/g/desktop1u.png/
[08:52] <meg_> linux
[08:53] <deddly> Dr_Willis: I followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenSound
[08:53] <rkpisanu> is it possible to mount file without root permission ? mount -o loop new.root.bin /tmp/smaller
[08:53] <meg_> how to install yahoo messenger for linux
[08:54] <Us3r_Unfriendly> Weazel: i gots to say i like the setup
[08:54] <Dr_Willis> rkpisanu:   theres the 'fuse' tools that can let ysers do it. there may be other ways
[08:54] <neverwhere> yeah, meg, i encourage you to install pidgin as i consider that to be the defacto IM app for any linux distro IMHO. what disrto r u using meg???
[08:54] <deddly> Dr_Willis: I only installed OSS because I thought it might help me get rid of the crackling noise
[08:54] <rkpisanu> Dr_Willis, thanks, but what is other way ?
[08:55] <Weazel> Us3r_Unfriendly: thanks :D, many things intertwined to create all of that, got a bit lazy with the icons, since i need to change the icons manually every single place from small to big ^_^ thats why i asked
[08:55] <Dr_Willis> deddly:   youmay want to try updaeting the alsa drivers/system.
[08:55] <Weazel> Us3r_Unfriendly: oh well i guess its time to get back to work now
[08:55] <r00t4rd3d> wow pidgin and kmess look the same :/
[08:55] <Dr_Willis> rkpisanu:  you can set up sudo to allow specific commands perhaps.
[08:55] <meg_> but how to do it
[08:55] <rkpisanu> Dr_Willis, i want to avoid sudo
[08:55] <linux_probe> lol
[08:55] <Dr_Willis> rkpisanu:  then use fuse. that would be the safest way i imagine
[08:55] <neverwhere> meg what distro r u using???
[08:55] <deddly> Dr_Willis: First, though, Gstreamer codecs are the ones I want, right?
[08:56] <rkpisanu> ok
[08:56] <Dr_Willis> deddly:  Huh? I always install ubuntu-restrict3ed-extras
[08:56] <meg_> iam using linux os but i cant install ym
[08:56] <deddly> Dr_Willis: Oh ok I'll try that
[08:56] <ShaRose> anyone know of a a windows CE version of wubi?
[08:57] <Dr_Willis> ShaRose:  i would be suprised if such a thing existed
[08:57] <ShaRose> yeah I figured I'd ask
[08:58] <Dr_Willis> meg_:  you mean the YM client from the yahoo web site?
[08:58] <meg_> you did asnwer my question
[08:58] <ShaRose> trying to get netbook ection on an easy pc
[08:58] <jepong> hi... can i install unity shell on my maverick desktop? thanks
[08:58] <ShaRose> sister get a free one at her Christmas party, so
[08:58] <ShaRose> got
[08:58] <Dr_Willis> ShaRose:  i saw some mini-netbooks that came witn windowsce over the weekend.. wife wanted one.. i wouldent let her get one. Im not even sure tha twindows ce can run normal windows apps.
[08:58] <zeppelin101> can i use gparted to re-size a partition on a hard drive on which ubuntu is installed and from which it is running from?
[08:58] <ShaRose> can't
[08:58] <ShaRose> this one uses ARM as well
[08:59] <Dr_Willis> ShaRose:  they are basically going to use what they came with then.   reason i wouldent let her get one.
[08:59] <Us3r_Unfriendly> zeppelin101: yes but it's safe to do it from a live cd though
[08:59] <Dr_Willis> ShaRose:  ther are ARM based ubuntu/linux ouyt. if it can boot from flash
[08:59] <meg_> plzzz tell me how to install yahoo messenger for linux and download it
[08:59] <ShaRose> Yeah
[08:59] <ShaRose> trying to get it to do that
[09:00] <Dr_Willis> meg_:  use one of the many IM clients in the package manager software center.  most all of them can do Yahoo and many other Im chat protiocals at the same time.
[09:00] <zeppelin101> Us3r_Unfriendly: i run into a strange problem when I try to re-size an ext4 & an ntfs partition whether gparted is running off ubuntu or off a live cd..
[09:00] <r00t4rd3d> meg , we need to know what distro of linux are you running , ubuntu ?
[09:00] <Dr_Willis> meg_:  install and use pidgin perhaps. 'sudo apt-get install pidgin'
[09:00] <meg_> ubuntu
[09:00] <zeppelin101> Us3r_Unfriendly: also, do i need to unmount a FS before i can re-size it? ( i think yes..)
[09:00] <Dr_Willis> zeppelin101:  definatly YES
[09:01] <Dr_Willis> zeppelin101:  i tend to use live cd's to do that task. so everything is unmounted
[09:01] <r00t4rd3d> meg open a terminal and type this sudo apt-get install pidgin
[09:01] <zeppelin101> Dr_ thanks
[09:01] <Us3r_Unfriendly> meg_: i agree with r00t4rd3d
[09:02] <r00t4rd3d> meg or you can get it in the synaptic package manager
[09:02] <neverwhere> meg if you are using ubuntu, than just use empathy to IM people using the yahoo protocal. is there some thing special you are trying to do that empathy does not support??
[09:03] <rigved> meg_: yes. use empathy is very good ^^
[09:03] <Us3r_Unfriendly> Zed`: yes
[09:04] <meg_> yes i do it sudu in termenal
[09:04] <r00t4rd3d> lol
[09:04] <r00t4rd3d> Applications , Internet , pidgin
[09:06] <neverwhere> lol, i was saying that from the begining, just sudo apt-get install pidgin
[09:06] <neverwhere> press "y"
[09:07] <neverwhere> lol
[09:07] <Dr_Willis> hit the big key that says 'e n t e r' .....
[09:07] <Dr_Willis> or just go to meebo.com to do your IM work.
[09:08] <narcislinux> see this http://narcistux.wordpress.com/
[09:08] <Dr_Willis> I think theres some alterantive to meebo these days also.
[09:08] <neverwhere> dr willis, since that mostall distors have some IM client that works with almost all IM's it is almost pointless to use anything else
[09:10] <neverwhere> though IMHO i think empathy is garbage, and kopete is fairly decent, pidgin still takes the fame
[09:10] <Xyeklops79> hey

[09:15] <elricsfate> and they told me what I already knew by linking me to some pages I had already read
[09:15] <elricsfate> well it seems the wine experts were not that expert :/

When I play a song, sometimes there is no sound at all, sometimes the song plays but with odd clicking, sometimes I just get a loud buzz like it's repeating part of the song over and over very fast and occasionally, though not often, the song plays with no problems. What is causing this and can it be fixed?

[09:49] <alesan> hi, how can I download the sources for a package that I have installed?
[09:49] <alesan> the package is "xawtv"
[09:49] <zcat[1]> anyhow... ubuntu has an IM client that handles just about every common IM network. You don't need to install another
[09:50] <deddly> !es
[09:50] <meg_> how to download yahoo messenger for linux ubuntu
[09:50] <zcat[1]> .. and if you really did need to install another you'd be better advised to find one in the software center rather than downloading something from terminal
[09:51] <yop129> meg_: alright keep repeating urself when people are responding to u and u're ignoring them
[09:51] <systemg33k> meg_: http://linux.softpedia.com/progDownload/Yahoo-Messenger-Download-2.html
[09:51] <dw-> meg_: google it
[09:51] <systemg33k> meg_: download the ubuntu one and install it
[09:51] <alesan> yes but how to download the "sources" of a package
[09:51] <On|Off> Hello
[09:51] <dw-> meg_: sorry not meant to be rude http://google.com/search?q=yahoo+messenger+ubuntu
[09:52] <zcat[1]> alesan:  pt-get source IIRC...
[09:52] <zcat[1]> alesan:  apt-get source IIRC...
[09:52] <alesan> zcat[1], and where will I find the sources?
[09:52] <zcat[1]> /usr/src
[09:52] <zcat[1]> alesan:  it'll arrive as a tarball in /usr/src
[09:53] <tristan3199us1> meg just use wine....
[09:53] <tristan3199us1> or pidgin..
[09:53] <eagles0513875> !sourceomatic
[09:53] <noonian> alesan, you need to make sure the appropriate lines are uncommented out in /etc/apt/sources.list also
[09:53] <deddly> Can anyone help me with my sound probem? It's really wierd. When I play a song, sometimes there is no sound at all, sometimes the song plays but with odd clicking, sometimes I just get a loud buzz like it's repeating part of the song over and over very fast and occasionally, though not often, the song plays with no problems. What is causing this and can it be fixed?
[09:53] <alesan> noonian, which line do I need for xawtv?
[09:54] <zcat[1]> alesan:  also yeah, you need to enable all the src repos .. you can do that through software sources or synaptic or just edit the /etc/apt/sources.list directly..
[09:54] <meg_> how to download ymessenger for linux ubuntu
[09:54] <alesan> meg_, you can use firefow or wget
[09:54] <alesan> firefox
[09:54] <noonian> alesan, just uncomment all the deb-src ones for the ones you have enabled already
[09:55] <yop129> does pulseaudio come as standard in 10.10?
[09:55] <On|Off> Using gnome-system-log, is there a way the log displays the bottom of the selected log file instead of the beginning ? It' s rather anoying.
[09:55] <tristan3199us1> i have an issue.. i want to put an 8gig file on usb.. it gets 80 percent done or so and has an error saying the file is too large.. not that im out of room but the file is too large... what does this mean...
[09:55] <meg_> i dont have firefow
[09:56] <darth_grantius> tristan3199us1: what file system?
[09:56] <deddly> No sound experts here?
[09:56] <darth_grantius> fat can only have file sizes of 4gb iirc
[09:56] <darth_grantius> same with fat32
[09:56] <tristan3199us1> my ntsf usb or my ext3 HD..
[09:56] <deploy> For months my Ubuntu has been freezing a couple of times a day. Total lock up. Cant even get to a TTY to run top. Which log might give me a clue or what can I do to track down the problem?
[09:56] <alesan> meg_, firefox
[09:57] <zcat[1]> tristan3199us1:  sounds like your USB is FAT32 not NTFS...
[09:57] <yop129> tristan3199us1: ur USB drive, what file system?
[09:57] <yop129> tristan3199us1: try formatting the USB to NTFS
[09:57] <systemg33k> In thunderbird I have second mail account but no Spam folder shows up. Why?
[09:57] <tristan3199us1> i tried them all.. i reformatted the usb like 10 times to every possible file system
[09:57] <yop129> tristan3199us1: but backup everything first obviouslly
[09:58] <yop129> hmm
[09:58] <tristan3199us1> i dont need anything on the usb drive... i just want a huge iso to fit on my 16 gb drive..
[09:59] <yop129> what's the exact error it gives?
[09:59] <tristan3199us1> it says the file is too large to be split??
[09:59] <tristan3199us1> i didnt ask anything to be split tho
[09:59] <lulzcat> PIT PIT CHEST
[10:00] <tristan3199us1> lulzcat is an advertisement.. ban it..
[10:00] <rigved> deploy: see somewhere in /var/log. not sure which log has the required info.
[10:00] <databits> what is a good program to handle RAR archives ?
[10:00] <deploy> Neither am I!
[10:00] <tristan3199us1> should i do a rar archive and move that to the drive..
[10:01] <zcat[1]> databits:  install rar/unrar, I think fileroller (built into gnome) will then use that as a back end so you just double-click and it opens like any other archive..
[10:02] <zcat[1]> databits:  otherwise you can use rar and unrar from the terminal ...
[10:02] <skraito> hi guys in ubuntu when we do full partition does it install grub
[10:02] <skraito> i dont see grub on my screen when boot up
[10:02] <Jragon> Is there a way to chmod one folder(htdocs) and it chmods everthing else insideof it?
[10:03] <Jragon> Sorry, I didn't mean to leave.
[10:03] <tristan3199us1> so basically nobody knows why i cant put it on my ntsf usb..
[10:03] <yop129> tristan3199us1: try copying the file through command line
[10:03] <zcat[1]> skraito:  if there's only one OS installed, GRUB2 gets configured to just boot straight into it so you won't see the GRUB menu
[10:03] <yop129> tristan3199us1: do it in the terminal
[10:03] <skraito> oh crap
[10:03] <zcat[1]> skraito:  if you want to see it hold the shift key
[10:03] <rigved> skraito: press "Shift" just before the boot process starts. you'll see the boot menu
[10:03] <tristan3199us1> will do yop129
[10:03] <skraito> i dont have vista cd
[10:03] <skraito> now i am stuck
[10:03] <skraito> any suggestion i want to get rid of my ubuntu
[10:03] <rigved> skraito: ^^
[10:03] <skraito> but stuck with grub
[10:04] <yop129> does anyone use ear candy?
[10:04] <skraito> and my damn asus laptop dont come with window vista cd
[10:04] <Jragon> Sorry, I didn't mean to leave.
[10:04] <skraito> oh man life sux
[10:04] <Jragon> Is there a way to chmod one folder(htdocs) and it chmods everthing else insideof it?
[10:04] <rigved> skraito: ^^ check what zcat[1] and I have said earlier
[10:04] <skraito> chmod -R
[10:04] <tristan3199us1> sounds self inflicted skraito
[10:04] <agus> how to download file from internet via ssh and leave the process
[10:04] <zcat[1]> skraito:  in the past I've used Ubuntu's 'mbr' package to install a generic MBR that's sufficient to get WinXP booted. I think Vista and Seven have a much more complicated boot sequence though
[10:05] <yop129> agus: why ssh u can use wget usually
[10:05] <tristan3199us1> download the iso and burn it...
[10:05] <Jragon> Skraito, od you just type chmod 777 -r /odt/lampp/htdocs?
[10:05] <skraito> if i am not wrong chmod -R 777 directory
[10:05] <Jragon> In root...
[10:05] <skraito> man chmod
[10:05] <rigved> skraito: are you unable to get the grub boot menu after pressing "Shift"?
[10:05] <Jragon> I'll try that.
[10:05] <agus> I already use wget using ssh, can I close terminal without stop the process
[10:06] <zcat[1]> skraito:  so you had a dusl-boot system and you removed the ubuntu partition?
[10:06] <skraito> nope i wanted to get rid of ubuntu
[10:06] <tristan3199us1> is there anything i can use to get more familiar with the terminal...
[10:06] <yop129> tristan3199us1: there are commands online
[10:06] <zcat[1]> skraito:  so this is really a windows problem... you're on the wrong channel ;)
[10:06] <Peddy> is 7zip included in ubuntu by default?
[10:06] <yop129> tristan3199us1: the copy command would be cp, so try searching terminal cp on google
[10:06] <Jragon> Is there a way to see the what folders are chmodded?
[10:07] <Dr_Willis> Peddy:  i dont think so
[10:07] <rigved> !terminal | tristan3199us1
[10:07] <Dr_Willis> !info p7zip
[10:07] <Peddy> ah, ty
[10:07] <agus>  I already use wget using ssh to download file, can I close terminal without stop the process?
[10:07] <Peddy> Dr_Willis, do you know of any included archival software that supports passwords?
[10:07] <JimboLimbo> Morning, I've been having problems with vnc (x11vnc/remote desktop/vncserver) running and when I remote to the machine it randomly restarts my gdm, any help on what is going on?
[10:07] <rigved> agus: no
[10:07] <yop129> !info earcandy
[10:08] <agus> is there anyway?
[10:08] <zcat[1]> agus:  in future, run 'screen' first .. then ctrl-A D will detatch the session, screen -X will reattach it.
[10:08] <yop129> cool, didn't know there was feature like that
[10:08] <Jragon> Is there a way to see the what folders are chmodded?
[10:08] <tristan3199us1> i visited something called 4chan.. somebody at work was talking about it and i thought i would see for myself..
[10:08] <tristan3199us1> now it has its own menu with file edit ect..
[10:08] <tristan3199us1> why..
[10:08] <Jragon> Is there a way to see the what folders are chmodded?
[10:09] <Dr_Willis> tristan3199us1:  what are you talking about?
[10:09] <yop129> tristan3199us1: see what? lol, it's not that kind of cp
[10:09] <tristan3199us1> sorry.. off subject..
[10:09] <agus> I dont understand the step
[10:09] <Dr_Willis> Jragon:  ls -al , shows the modes on files/dirs
[10:09] <tristan3199us1> firefox says at the top .. "file, edit, view, history, 4chan, help...
[10:09] <Jragon> So if i cd to /opt/lampp/htdocs then do ls-al it will show me?
[10:09] <yop129> tristan3199us1: and he broke the rules by telling u and u broke the rules by saying it here
[10:10] <Dr_Willis> Jragon:  try it and see.. and its ls -al (with a space)
[10:10] <zcat[1]> !info screen | agus
[10:10] <tristan3199us1> rules of the site???
[10:10] <yop129> tristan3199us1: post a screenshot
[10:10] <yop129> tristan3199us1: yeah
[10:10] <tristan3199us1> am i banned.. lol
[10:10] <JimboLimbo> Morning, I've been having problems with vnc (x11vnc/remote desktop/vncserver) running and when I remote to the machine it randomly restarts my gdm, any help on what is going on
[10:10] <databits> zcat: what is the program called that is used for rar/unrar ?
[10:10] <Jragon> Hmm... It shows a whole load of info and then down the side it has my folders highlighted in green
[10:11] <Jragon> There is also . and ..
[10:11] <yop129> tristan3199us1: lol it's off topic let's not talk about it here, post a screenshot of the problem u're having with the menus
[10:11] <zcat[1]> databits:  the one for rar is called "rar" and the one to unrar is called "unrar" -- ;-)
[10:11] <Jragon> What is the floodbot thing?
[10:11] <alesan> is this a takeover attempt?
[10:11] <Gnea> Jragon: normal stuff
[10:11] <Gnea> alesan: impossible to do here
[10:11] <JimboLimbo> silly you cant take over a services channel
[10:11] <skraito> what is the torrent downloader prefered on ubuntu ?
[10:12] <databits> I'm going to guess that is cli based program correct ? Is there a rar/unrar program that is gui based ?
[10:12] <chyyk> hu
[10:12] <chyyk> hi
[10:12] <JimboLimbo> skraito, qbittorent or deluge

[10:12] <skraito> thx
[10:12] <Gnea> databits: file roller
[10:12] <tristan3199us1> yop129: want to pm me and inform me how "it" works
[10:12] <rigved> !floodbot | Jragon
[10:12] <zcat[1]> Jragon:  there's a dozen floodbots, so when one person accidentally posts three lines in a row it gets followed by a dozen bots opping up and changing modes....
[10:12] <tristan3199us1> and will do..
[10:12] <rigved> !flood | Jragon
[10:12] <Dr_Willis> !permissions | Jragon
[10:12] <yop129> so no one here knows about earcandy?
[10:12] <Gnea> Jragon: they prevent flooding, plain and simple.
[10:13] <tristan3199us1> i know of skullcandy
[10:13] <sagaci> Earcandy?
[10:13] <JimboLimbo> has anyone had problems with vncserver/x11vnc randomly restarting gdm? need assistance
[10:13] <zcat[1]> !earcandy
[10:13] <Dr_Willis> yop129:  i heard about it once ages ago.. and thats about it.
[10:13] <databits> Gnea what is the best way to install file roller ... using the synaptic package installer ?
[10:13] <Peddy> !gzip
[10:13] <sacarlson> databits: seems nautilus does almost all the un compresion I normaly need,  I think you can add more to it if needed
[10:13] <Dr_Willis> yop129:  could be a dead project. ive not seen it mentioned in quite some time
[10:13] <Gnea> databits: yeah, it should already be there
[10:14] <yop129> Dr_Willis: trying to get it working, seems like good app, but can't get it to function
[10:14] <Dr_Willis> yop129:  never really tried it. check its homepage if it has issues
[10:14] <Jragon> Gnea: lol, first time i saw them i thought they were for flooding.
[10:14] <Jragon> Thanks Dr_Willis
[10:15] <JimboLimbo> has anyone had problems with vncserver/x11vnc randomly restarting gdm? which requires me to ssh and restart x11vnc/vncserver again, need assistance
[10:15] <databits> sacarlson: does nautilus have a feature where you can right click on the file and select uncompress here ? that way you don't have to go threw and open the program to uncompress the files ?
[10:15] <sagaci> No jimbo
[10:15] <Syria> #join #ubuntu-server
[10:15] <`marianne`> i have a randomish question... does *any* OS currently support the use of 3D displays to do things like make windows float at different depths, or above the wallpaper, etc?
[10:15] <yop129> Dr_Willis: i did, nothing on the homepage except features, changelog, and how to dl it, does pulseaudio come standard with ubuntu 10.10?
[10:15] <Syria> :S
[10:15] <nawri> hi
[10:16] <sagaci> Ubuntu doesn't
[10:16] <Dr_Willis> yop129:  pulse audio is standard.. has been for years
[10:16] <JimboLimbo> `marianne`: yea compiz does that
[10:16] <NoobTester> hi all
[10:16] <Dr_Willis> databits:  i have such a menu item here.. not sure where it came from.
[10:16] <`marianne`> JimboLimbo, neat, thanks :) was just looking at what display i'd want to get if i became stupidly rich hehe
[10:17] <rigved> `marianne`: JimboLimbo means that ubuntu does , when used with compiz
[10:17] <JimboLimbo> correct
[10:17] <`marianne`> even better then!
[10:17] <sacarlson> databits: normaly I just double click it in nautilus and it opens compressed files in an arkive manager
[10:17] <Jragon> How do I record audio? I have downloaded audacity, using my inbuilt microphone it does not pick up anything. Please help thanks.
[10:17] <NoobTester> channel for ubuntu ita?
[10:17] <`marianne`> or, you know, if 3D TVs become less expensive
[10:17] <deddly> My sound is really weird. When I play a song, sometimes there is no sound at all, sometimes the song plays but with odd clicking, sometimes I just get a loud buzz like it's repeating part of the song over and over very fast and occasionally, though not often, the song plays with no problems. However the song starts off, that's how it plays all the way through. What is causing this and can it be fixed?
[10:17] <JimboLimbo> Jragon: make sure the right mic is selected
[10:17] <sacarlson> databits: there is a right click to compress things
[10:17] <rigved> !it | NoobTester
[10:17] <Jragon> How?
[10:18] <yop129> Dr_Willis: alright, hmm
[10:18] <Jragon> Also when i plug in my amp to the audio soccet it doesnt pick up anything.
[10:18] <JimboLimbo> Jragon: check audio settings also install pulse audio volume control
[10:18] <Jragon> Whats the sorce for that so i can do the apt-get install thing.
[10:18] <databits> I just tried opening up the file with the default program that was allready installed which is "file-roller" rar files are not supported :(
[10:19] <JimboLimbo> Jragon: just search synaptic for exactly what i wrote
[10:19] <Dr_Willis> !rar | databits
[10:19] <Dr_Willis> databits:  you have to install the proper 'rar' bianries to add support to fileroler for them
[10:19] <Jragon> Okey.
[10:19] <Dr_Willis> databits:  7zip also has rar extensions you can install.
[10:20] <databits> ubottu: thanks alot bro
[10:20] <JimboLimbo> lol
[10:20] <sagaci> They're proprietary, right?
[10:20] <Jragon> An error occured when opening Synamptic:
[10:20] <Jragon> W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ maverick/partner i386 Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/archive.canonical.com_ubuntu_dists_maverick_partner_binary-i386_Packages)
[10:21] <Dr_Willis> jabalsad:  you got a redundant entry in your sources listing.. its not a critical error. (or sholdent be)
[10:22] <Jragon> JimboLimbo, there is nothing on the list when i search.
[10:22] <JimboLimbo> Jragon: check your repos that they are all enabled..then update it, then search
[10:22] <databits> dr willis: which program would you recomend installing to handle all my archiving ?
[10:23] <JimboLimbo> it's called PulseAudio Volume Control
[10:24] <sagaci> PAVC
[10:24] <Dr_Willis> databits:  i just use the command line. and perhaps 'mc'
[10:24] <databits> I think I might have found a good package :)
[10:25] <sagaci> Which one?
[10:25] <trijntje> Hi all, is there a way to let cairo-dock display the icons from the applications menu?
[10:25] <sacarlson> databits: it seems in this post they seem to think that file roller can support rar but I'm not sure myself http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-21375.html
[10:26] <Jragon> JimboLimbo, how do i do that?
[10:27] <Dr_Willis> sacarlson:  it can IF you have the rar binaries installed.
[10:27] <sacarlson> databits: Dr_Willis: there ya go install the rar libs then
[10:27] <sagaci> Binary blobs
[10:27] <databits> well I downloaded the 7zip
[10:28] <databits> it said that it installed correctly... but now I'm unsure how to get to the program
[10:28] <Dr_Willis> databits:  i install the 7zip stuff and the rar binaries.. and bascialy can extract anything i find.
[10:28] <Dr_Willis> !info unp
[10:28] <Dr_Willis> !info unrar
[10:28] <forteller> Hi, does anyone know if I have to do anything special to get Wine to recognize USBs?
[10:29] <databits> it has been a long time sense I have ran ubuntu desktop... I know there is a way to add programs to the applications menu
[10:29] <sacarlson> databits: well 7zip isn't unrar,  you would also need to install that with apt-get install unrar
[10:29] <Dr_Willis> !info p7zip-rar
[10:29] <databits> it said right on the package description, that it was capable of decompressing rar files
[10:29] <Dr_Willis> 7zip has a module for ar :)
[10:29] <root_> what   up
[10:29] <databits> ubottu: where did you find that ?
[10:30] <Dr_Willis> databits:  i searched the package manager. :)  synaptic
[10:30] <root_> where are the woman
[10:31] <Dr_Willis>  sudo apt-get install p7zip p7zip-rar  unrar rar  unp
[10:31] <sagaci> #ubuntu-women? :)
[10:31] <bazhang> root_, wrong network
[10:31] <yop129> does anyone know where i can get documentation for earcandy?
[10:31] <bazhang> sagaci, dont suggest that
[10:31] <Dr_Willis> yop129:  if theres none at the homepage.. check its source.
[10:31] <dalbelo> How do I refresh the /etc/network/interfaces file to make changes take effect without reboot computer?
[10:32] <databits> installing now
[10:32] <databits> ok it is installed... how do I go about running the program now ?
[10:32] <sacarlson> databits: double click on the file I guess
[10:33] <Dr_Willis> databits:  what program?
[10:33] <Emmanuel_Chanel> Hello! My mic. mute problem is solved, with r00t4rd3d 's help. Thanks r00t4rd3d .
[10:33] <Dr_Willis> databits:  i just 'unp archivename' and it extracts it for me 99.999% of the time. :)
[10:33] <Emmanuel_Chanel> But the mic input works slowly. But I don't know what keywords to search by. Someone can help me?
[10:33] <yop129> Dr_Willis: whatchu talking about willis (sorry, couldn't resist), but seriously the source code might have documentation inside it?
[10:34] <Jragon> Bye.
[10:34] <JimboLimbo> has anyone had problems with vncserver/x11vnc randomly restarting gdm? which requires me to ssh and restart x11vnc/vncserver again, need assistance.  only randonly restarts gdm when vnc is loaded btw.
[10:34] <sagaci> Might
[10:34] <deanc> I see there's a community project to put ubuntu on intel macs, but is it pretty unstable?
[10:34] <Dr_Willis> yop129:  if it dosent.. well.. we cant learn about stuff thats not documented/exists...
[10:34] <dalbelo> How do I refresh network setting in /etc/network/interfaces without rebooting the computer?
[10:35] <bazhang> deanc, you mean ppc? it works fine on intel macs
[10:35] <Dr_Willis> deanc:  ive never heard it called unstable..  its intel hardware basically. with just a few changes. Check the forums perjhaps? it seems used quite a lot.
[10:35] <Dr_Willis> deanc:  ppc - is a WHOLE nother disaster. :)
[10:35] <ohir> dalbelo: ifup / ifdown will do the trick
[10:35] <ohir> dalbelo: ifdown eth0 then ifup eth0
[10:35] <dalbelo> thx
[10:35] <sagaci> He's probably referring to EFI
[10:35] <deanc> bazhang, Dr_Willis: well im thinking of buying a macbook air but I *really* dont wanna use OSX
[10:36] <ohir> dalbelo: its better to do ifdown before you fiddle with interfaces file
[10:36] <Dr_Willis> deanc:  then why spend the extra $$$?  i dont see the point.
[10:36] <JimboLimbo> why spend so much on a macbook air?
[10:36] <JimboLimbo> lol
[10:36] <JimboLimbo> no point then
[10:36] <bazhang> deanc, works perfectly well on my intel iMac
[10:36] <deanc> because it's so pretty and light!
[10:36] <dpy> deanc, yeah, why spend so much money on looks
[10:36] <Dr_Willis> deanc:  buy 2 normal laptops.. and you dont have to carry it around.
[10:36] <deanc> Because I have the money to waste? :)
[10:36] <dpy> deanc, hardware isn't worth the $$$
[10:36] <deanc> By all means *please* find me a laptop that thin with same specs :>
[10:36] <JimboLimbo> deanc: then waste it on your local charity
[10:36] <ohir> Dr_Willis: its for someone who already has a mac
[10:37] <rigved> JimboLimbo: try #virt at irc.oftc.net.
[10:37] <Dr_Willis> You can get some very nice useable laptops in the $500 range.
[10:37] <bazhang> !ot
[10:37] <JimboLimbo> rigved how come?
[10:37] <rigved> JimboLimbo: for your VNC problem
[10:37] <Eduard> hello guys
[10:37] <JimboLimbo> but its a problem on ubuntu
[10:37] <Eduard> could someone help me with 10.10 install
[10:37] <sagaci> Ok ed
[10:38] <sagaci> Fire away
[10:38] <yop129> Eduard: wat do u need
[10:38] <databits> ok I got it working now  :)
[10:38] <rigved> JimboLimbo: yes. but you might get help there too. it's for gtk based vnc, i think
[10:38] <Eduard> i want to install nvidia-96 drivers, after install i run nvidia-xconfig as root, so that new xorg.conf could be created
[10:38] <Eduard> after rebot i get to tty1
[10:38] <JimboLimbo> im having problems with any vnc in general
[10:38] <Eduard> so the driver doesn't work
[10:38] <JimboLimbo> remote desktop/vncserver/x11vnc
[10:39] <databits> ok now I have another question... I do alot of web development, and I was using dreamweaver.  Would "wine" run dreamweaver well, or is there a application that is up to par with dreamweaver that is designed for linux ?
[10:39] <Eduard> any ideas???
[10:39] <JimboLimbo> databits: osalt.com
[10:39] <Emmanuel_Chanel> Seems solved by https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting
[10:39] <JimboLimbo> databits and wine can run certain versions check it at winehq.com
[10:40] <sagaci> Ed, can you startx
[10:41] <Eduard> didin't try, I'm now on fedora, I'll reinstall my system back to ubuntu and try it, and btw, deleting xorg.conf and restarting system seems to do the trick
[10:41] <sagaci> Did you tweak the file
[10:42] <Eduard> no, it was default, generated by nvidia-xconfig
[10:42] <a_> hi, i have a problem with conky
[10:43] <Friar> is there an empty trash button in ubuntu that will empty the .local trashfiles for the users?
[10:43] <Eduard> maybe, it has something to do with nouveau, maybe nouveau and nvidia driver are conflicting?
[10:43] <sagaci> Probably, it's messy
[10:43] <a_> when i write "$audacious_status" in .conkyrc there is "${audacious_status}" in conky showed up
[10:43] <medy_> i bought airtel datacard nd my internet is working properly bt orkut and fb are nt opening in my ubuntu firefox ????????
[10:43] <a_> help?
[10:44] <morcegolas> Hi, I'm trying ro run a .py file but it says command not found, I'm really a linux noob...
[10:44] <a_> honk
[10:45] <sagaci> Are you in the right directory
[10:45] <a_> morcegolas: write in terminal "sudo apt-get install python"
[10:45] <medy_> all other sites are responding very fast
[10:45] <a_> medy_ drivers?
[10:45] <morcegolas> a_: I think i have python, let me see
[10:45] <Dr_Willis> a_:  conky has a  its own support channels. and a forums and many faq's out. You may want to check.    I havent messed with conky in ages. but i imagine the issue is proberly a typo, find an example that does what you want. and cut/paste from it
[10:45] <Dr_Willis> Friar:  for all users? not that ive ever seen. that could be 'bad'
[10:45] <a_> where's conky's irc channel?
[10:45] <medy_> which drivers???
[10:46] <Dr_Willis> a_:  try #conky ? check conky homepage.
[10:46] <a_> in freenode?
[10:46] <GrowLinux> exit
[10:46] <databits> dr_willis: I have wine installed but I'm not sure how to run the program
[10:46] <Ileden> Hi! I just upgraded my laptop from 10.04 to 10.10, and my WLAN broke. It can see my network, but connecting to it fails. Weirdly enough, I did manage to connect once, but there was about 50% packet loss with ping. My network is ok, verified via another computer, and the WLAN did work perfectly in 10.04. Any ideas?
[10:46] <Friar> Dr_Willis, how about for 1 user?
[10:47] <medy_> hav installed all drivers
[10:47] <sagaci> Did you upgrade or clean install
[10:47] <medy_> pls elp me
[10:47] <morcegolas> Hi, I'm trying ro run a .py file but it says command not found, I'm really a linux noob... Please help me
[10:47] <Ileden> sagaci: was that directed to me? I upgraded, not clean install.
[10:48] <Friar> Dr_Willis, I can definitely see how that could be bad. I have a 30GB SSD in my laptop and my wife has a tendency to fill it with pictures.....even though she has an external drive dedicated to this.
[10:48] <Linuxsapien> hey hey good people.. Im having an issue here.. When I click on a URL with any app, it opens Gedit instead of a new tab in firefox.. any ideas how to amend this?
[10:48] <Linuxsapien> and its not prefered application, I looked :(
[10:49] <databits> morcegolas: you have to "python (command.py)
[10:49] <databits> "
[10:49] <morcegolas> databits: I'll try, thanks
[10:49] <databits> how do I go about opening "wine" once I have the package installed ?
[10:50] <Ileden> databits: it should be in the menu, and from command line you can run it with "wine <file>"
[10:51] <sagaci> It's under applications
[10:51] <moruz> anybody in freepascal here
[10:51] <databits> it is not showing up in the menu
[10:51] <sagaci> Or right click an exe
[10:51] <Ileden> databits: I don't think there's much for running wine by itself, though, as it's an emulator you should be running some program with wine, instead of just wine itself.
[10:51] <moruz> anybody wanna chat ?
[10:52] <databits> well I want to see if I can run the new cs5 dreamweaver on here
[10:52] <Ileden> databits: I think it also associates itself with .exe, so if you try opening and .exe with file manager, it probably runs it with wine automatically
[10:52] <moruz> Ubuntu is very cool !
[10:52] <Ileden> databits: for example, if you want to install something with "setup.exe", just find that file and run it, or either run from the command line "wine setup.exe"
[10:52] <Linuxsapien> moruz i agree :D
[10:53] <databits> thank you
[10:53] <databits> what is a good cd emulation program ?
[10:53] <Dr_Willis> databits:  To do what task exactly?
[10:53] <Ileden> Hi! I just upgraded my laptop from 10.04 to 10.10, and my WLAN broke. It can see my network, but connecting to it fails. Weirdly enough, I did manage to connect once, but there was about 50% packet loss with ping. My network is ok, verified via another computer, and the WLAN did work perfectly in 10.04. The problem disappears when starting with an earlier kernel via grub. Any ideas what to do here?
[10:53] <neverwhere> virtulbox databits
[10:54] <Dr_Willis> databits:  to work around game copy protection? thats not really going to work. You can moutn ISO files easially enough
[10:54] <databits> I have 3 gig's of ram in this machine
[10:54] <moruz> Its a bit slow on my machine, Pentium4 2 processors... although I've tweaked everything I could as much as I could, now it's much better but still, not as fast as WinXP, anyway I like it all the same at least it's free and opensource !
[10:54] <databits> if I'm going to do a virtual machine... how much would be a good set ammount for windows ?
[10:55] <Ileden> That is, after upgrade to 10.10 my WLAN fails with latest kernel 2.6.35-23-generic but works with 2.6.32-26-generic. Is there anything I can do to fix this?
[10:55] <neverwhere> drive soace databits?
[10:55] <neverwhere> spce
[10:55] <neverwhere> space
[10:55] <databits> I have 120 gig
[10:55] <Dr_Willis> databits:  depends on what youa re doing in the virtual machine
[10:56] <neverwhere> it depends on what your going to use windows for iguess
[10:56] <moruz> I'm gonna leave, goodbye everybody, will be back some other time... cheers.
[10:56] <Dr_Willis> databits:  give it 512mb. its trival to change later
[10:56] <neverwhere> r we talking RAM or drive space here?
[10:56] <databits> I was thinking a gig
[10:56] <Dr_Willis> databits:  so go for it.. its trivial to change
[10:57] <databits> because dreamweaver takes up a nice ammount of space
[10:57] <neverwhere> i have always allocated 1024 for RAM inn VB
[10:57] <WinstonSmith> Ileden, try installing linux-backports-modules-compat-wireless
[10:58] <WinstonSmith> Ileden, that would be  linux-backports-modules-compat-wireless-2.6.35-23-generic
[10:58] <neverwhere> winstonsmith, doesnt that only work woth his current kernel version???
[10:59] <WinstonSmith> neverwhere, yes but that is his current kernel
 That is, after upgrade to 10.10 my WLAN fails with latest kernel 2.6.35-23-generic but works with 2.6.32-26-generic. Is there anything I can do to fix this? why roll back?
[11:01] <neverwhere> he would need to roll back the kernel modula, which will not work in his case
[11:01] <VJean> #windows
[11:01] <VJean> gkby
[11:02] <VJean> Нечто! тут?
[11:02] <Stava> Where do I find laptops that ship with ubuntu or another linux dist?
[11:03] <sagaci> Zareason
[11:03] <sagaci> System76
[11:03] <Dr_Willis> Stava:  err.. google? and look for companies in your area? system76 is one such company
[11:03] <Dr_Willis> Stava:  dell  also does it still.
[11:03] <Stava> Dr_Willis, I tried :o
[11:03] <Stava> Dr_Willis, well those are only low tier computers
[11:04] <Dr_Willis> i belive system76 can do rather high end things.. so you need to do some resarch i guess.
[11:04] <Stava> Alright then
[11:04] <Stava> thanks
[11:04] <Ileden> neverwhere: ok, I don't know what rolling back a kernel module meand. I'm pretty lost with inner workings of kernels, basically I just know they contain the "drivers" for devices and I can choose which one to run (no idea what that actaully causes, though).
[11:04] <neverwhere> yeah i hate having to buy windows license to just wipe the disk clean and install linux distro
[11:04] <Dr_Willis> Theres dozens of smaller pc makers that can also ship machines without windows.
[11:04] <yop129> neverwhere: buy a license, good one :P
[11:05] <Ileden> neverwhere: of course, if it won't work in my case anyway, no need to know :)
[11:05] <neverwhere> thats basically what we end up doing. we buy a license for microsoft windows whatever, then we end up formating the drive anyway
[11:06] <yop129> lol
[11:06] <yop129> gnome-look.org is down wow
[11:06] <Stava> Oh right, I get a weird keyboard layout (for me) if I buy at zareason or system76 :(
[11:07] <yellabs-r2> hello there
[11:07] <codeanu_> hi I am trying to install systemd on ubuntu 10.04 but it says libudev0 (>=154) , and in my system libudev0 is 151, Can anyone tell me how to upgrade it ?
[11:07] <yellabs-r2> is there anyone around who has experience with multi seat ubuntu 10.04 ? especially the video cards ...nvidia
[11:08] <Ileden> Yup I try to collect these windows licences, just in case a friends needs one for an (old) new computer or something.
[11:08] <DrManhattan> i wonder how much I can sell 2g of ddr1 for
[11:08] <yellabs-r2> or ... is there anyone around who has experience with multi seat ubuntu 10.10 ? especially the video cards ...nvidia
[11:08] <Ileden> but it's really annoying to know a part of the laptop price goes to microsoft.
[11:09] <neverwhere> ileden, i had same issue as you, and ended up having to install like this...sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-compat-wireless-2.6.32-2.6.35-23-generic
[11:09] <neverwhere> i dnt think it works that way\
[11:09] <DrManhattan> wow! 30 bucks a chip!
[11:09] <yellabs-r2> sell for 20 - 40 euro
[11:09] <codeanu_> hi I am trying to install systemd on ubuntu 10.04 but it says libudev0 (>=154) , and in my system libudev0 is 151, Can anyone tell me how to upgrade it ?
[11:09] <yop129> why does pressing ctrl+alt+F12 throw it into an empty purple screen
[11:10] <neverwhere> y r u preesing that key combo?
[11:10] <Ileden> neverwhere: s... that package makes my 2.6.35-23 kernel use the wireless drivers from 2.6.32 anyway?
[11:10] <Dr_Willis> yop129:  thats the framebuffer/consoles. and theres nothing running on it.. so ya just see blankness
[11:10] <yellabs-r2> codeanu , are you upgrading?
[11:10] <Dr_Willis> yop129:  ive seen it set where log files and stuff can appear there
[11:10] <Ileden> neverwhere: can I install that while using the previous kernel?
[11:11] <yop129> Dr_Willis: hmm and is ctrl+alt+F1 - F6 like screens or something?
[11:11] <yellabs-r2> codeanu , maybe its better to backup all your files and go for an clean install ( if you are upgrading )
[11:11] <pksadiq> have anybody tested adobe native flash square for linux 64bit?
[11:11] <yop129> Dr_Willis: when i press ctrl + alt + f7 it puts me back into my desktop
[11:12] <tweedle> what is the package name that will install the synaptic package manager?
[11:12] <Dr_Willis> yop129:  yes... so? thats how it works.
[11:12] <Dr_Willis> f1-6 = consoles. f7 is the default for X.  8+ not normally used
[11:12] <neverwhere> thats the prob ileden, i dint know but it is worth typing that into the terminal, if you dont think it is corrct ou can always abort, but likely it will tell you i cannot perofrm the operation. you are infact stating that you ant to install an older module into a newer kernal
[11:12] <yop129> Dr_Willis: yeah idk, lol that's normal for you, but idk what it is
[11:12] <aertyu> hi
[11:13] <aertyu> is it possible to check upstream/downstream speed from ubuntu terminal ?
[11:13] <aertyu> if yes what's the command ?
[11:13] <Syria> I have a file called start.sh how can I adjust it to run automatically on startup via terminal please?
[11:13] <Ileden> neverwhere: I can, if needed, connect the laptop with ethernet wire to net to do the install using the latest kernel. is this a better idea?
[11:14] <akshatj> aertyu, try ifconfig
[11:14] <ggeorgy> hi
[11:14] <yellabs-r2> Syria , add to sessions ( dont forget to make executable )
[11:14] <neverwhere> it is your only option ileden. you must be connected to the internet to install from repos
[11:14] <aertyu> with ifconfig  ? askhl_
[11:14] <aertyu> with ifconfig  ? akshatj
[11:14] <aertyu> are you sure ?
[11:15] <Syria> yellabs-r2 Can you tell me how to this step by step please, i have a web based application on my server and i want it to start automatically.
[11:15] <ggeorgy> can you help me i want to convert a  video to ffmpeg for my phone /thanks?!!
[11:15] <akshatj> aertyu, no wait
[11:15] <Ileden> neverwhere: not really, though... i could download the package and install it later, using som weird command line opiton, I think. but I'll just use the wire :)
[11:15] <ggeorgy>  :(
[11:15] <codeanu_> yellabs-r2, ya i want to upgrage ity
[11:15] <thomas82> Hi, is there any possibility to use a kernel from Lucid in Maverick  and retain all functionality of the system?
[11:15] <yellabs-r2> Syria , i will try, go to system / preferences / startup application
[11:16] <codeanu_> yellabs-r2, can u tell me how to do that ?
[11:16] <neverwhere> you must install the .deb package if you want to install for later use. regardless you must have some kind of internet connection to do that
[11:16] <Syria> yellabs-r2 I have in installed on my ubuntu server.
[11:16] <akshatj> ggeorgy, WinFF is a handy GUI utility that uses ffmpeg
[11:16] <yellabs-r2> Syria , hmm, no desktop then?
[11:16] <ggeorgy> i tryed it but not work
[11:17] <Syria> yellabs-r2 no desktop, only terminal
[11:17] <aertyu> is it possible to check upstream/downstream speed from ubuntu terminal ?
[11:17] <neverwhere> not sure aertyu...
[11:18] <Ileden> neverwhere: "E: Unable to locate package iinux-backports-modules-compat-wireless-2.6.32-2.6.35-23-generic"
[11:18] <yellabs-r2> Syria , okey, please take a look at this how - to http://www.ivankristianto.com/os/ubuntu/howto-run-script-on-boot-process-in-ubuntu/1171/
[11:18] <Ileden> neverwhere: em, right, there's a tyop
[11:18] <Syria> yellabs-r2 Thnx a lot.
[11:18] <Ileden> neverwhere: however, "E: Unable to locate package linux-backports-modules-compat-wireless-2.6.32-2.6.35-23-generic"
[11:19] <aertyu> then how such website like " calculating bandwith speed  calculator " works, they based on what ?
[11:19] <Ileden> aertyu: they usually choose a server ner you, and send traffic with max speed to that server, and measure what that speed it
[11:19] <neverwhere> well it was worht a try, but it is not technically a backport doing it that way. a back port is to install a newer kernel module to an older kernel
[11:19] <yellabs-r2> ggeorgy . fast route : http://media-convert.com/omzetten/
[11:20] <Ileden> neverwhere: ok. any other ideas?
[11:20] <neverwhere> i had the same issue with atheros cars in my net book. had to wait till the 2.6.35 kernel to install the backport
[11:20] <sacarlson> codeanu_: did you try ppa? https://launchpad.net/~a7x/+archive/ppa
[11:21] <neverwhere> reinstall with older kernel, what version of ubuntu r u using???
[11:21] <Ileden> aertyu: uh, that was full of typos, sorry :)
[11:21] <aertyu> voila, my question is that one " traffic with max speed " how to send to max speed traffic by command line ? Ileden
[11:21] <yellabs-r2> ggeorgy  , or ffmpeg --help
[11:21] <skraito> hi guys
[11:21] <skraito> whats cd burner prefered for ubuntu ?
[11:21] <Ileden> neverwhere: 10.10. but was using 10.04 before without problems.
[11:21] <neverwhere> or ndiswrapper
[11:21] <codeanu_> sacarlson, thanks .. I will try that
[11:21] <aertyu> that's must be possible too
[11:22] <yellabs-r2> ggeorgy  , or ffmpeg -i yourinput file thenyouroutputfilename.avi
[11:22] <yellabs-r2> !ffmpeg
[11:22] <neverwhere> id go with 10.04 and stick with it then. you can build what you need to lucid from mavarrick
[11:22] <Ileden> aertyu: it's possible, but you need a server near you, that doesn't have any connection problems of it's own.
[11:22] <Dr_Willis> skraito:  i like k3b. but its a KDE app :) but it works good under gnome
[11:22] <yellabs-r2> okey got to go, eat
[11:22] <yellabs-r2> :)
[11:22] <yellabs-r2> bye and good luck all
[11:23] <aertyu> i already have that one Ileden
[11:23] <Ileden> neverwhere: yikes, i should downgrade? I've heard horror stories of people doing that and screwing up the system...
[11:23] <neverwhere> back up and do clean install. not actual downgrade
[11:23] <Ileden> neverwhere: is it possible to just use the earlier kernel? will that cause me problems?
[11:23] <skraito> thx u
[11:24] <neverwhere> i dont know, i wondered that my self when i was having trouble with my wireless, as said before you could use ndiswrapper, but it suck s fat ass, unless it works for you
[11:24] <Ileden> aertyu: think is, the traffic calculators sites have a network of solid servers, and they choose a one near you automatically. there could be a tool for that for commanline too, but i don't know of any
[11:24] <neverwhere> my netbook froze up all the time using ndiswrapper
[11:24] <Syria> yellabs-r2 Do you know how to write text in vim terminal please?
[11:25] <aertyu> ok thanks a lot Ileden
[11:25] <Ileden> neverwhere: ndiswrapper?

[11:26] <rigved> Rix_: if you want really light-weight, then use lxde desktop
[11:27] <neverwhere> rix i am using lxde lubuntu atm
[11:27] <Ileden> aertyu: no problem. a good choice of a stabile server is some ubuntu/linux mirror site, probably. Then use wget http://wherver.the.server.is/path/to/linux.iso to start downloading a big file from them, wget will then report the speed for you.
[11:27] <neverwhere> on a flash drve btw, that tells you how light it is
[11:27] <Rix_> hah  :p
[11:27] <Ileden> aertyu: but with upload speed, it's more tricky, as there aren't many servers around that let you just upload stuff to them :)
[11:27] <Rix_> i'll look at lubuntu
[11:27] <rigved> !lubuntu | Rix_
[11:28] <Rix_> :o
[11:28] <Rix_> thanks sir
[11:28] <neverwhere> lubuntu, is really just ubuntu with openbox window manager. you could always look for distros that use that. crunchbang is another
[11:28] <Ileden> That is, after upgrade to 10.10 my WLAN fails with latest kernel 2.6.35-23-generic but works with 2.6.32-26-generic. Is there anything I can do to fix this? How do I for example force my system to use the older kernel by default? What are the problems this might cause?
[11:29] <Ileden> neverwhere: thanks for the help
[11:29] <Rix_> i am on  #crunchbang
[11:29] <Stava> Should I install windows first or last to avoid trouble? :p
[11:29] <Rix_> never
[11:29] <Rix_> ;)
[11:29] <Stava> yeah I agree
[11:29] <aertyu> what you call "linux mirror site " ?  Ileden
[11:29] <neverwhere> our welcome, i guess first you would have to some how install older kernal, then force it to boot by default by editing a config file
[11:30] <neverwhere> stave ALWAYS windows first, if you are going to do that
[11:31] <Ileden> neverwhere: I do have the older kernel still in the system, selectabe from the menu, and using it doesn't cause any trouble - at least not in plain sight.
[11:31] <Dr_Willis> lubuntu is a bit more then just openbox. :) im testing it out right now
[11:32] <Ileden> neverwhere: where can I configure my system to use it by default, and what problems might this cause?
[11:32] <neverwhere> it wont cause any problems ubless you have apps that require a certain kernel version
[11:32] <Ileden> aertyu: there are sites all around the world, and keep copies of linux istall CD-images, for example, so everyone doesn't have to stress e.g. ubuntu's servers to get them. These are called mirrors.
[11:32] <rigved> my laptop can only boot ubuntu in failsafex mode (i can boot debian properly though). will i be able to boot into lubuntu properly?
[11:33] <Dr_Willis> rigved:  depends on why its only going into failsafe mode.
[11:33] <Dr_Willis> rigved:  the kernel and X versions and configs are the same for both
[11:34] <Ileden> neverwhere: hmm, it's worth a try to just keep on using the earlier kernel then. how do I configure the system (grub)? and will it revert back to latest when there's a kernel update?
[11:34] <rigved> Dr_Willis: how do i find out what's causing the problem?
[11:34] <Rix_> lubuntu looks slick
[11:34] <Rix_> sleek
[11:34] <Rix_> ??
[11:34] <Belial> anyoen there
[11:35] <rigved> !ask | Guest33941
[11:35] <neverwhere> if i were you ileden, i would not do anymore kernel uodates, i would have to take some time googling it, but i know it is possible to use older kernel, and keep it that way
[11:37] <icesword> :0
[11:37] <icesword> :)
[11:37] <Ileden> neverwhere: yeah, I'll do that. and I can try upgrading the kernel to an even later vresion some day, to see if the problem has gone away. :) But how do I configure grub to use the previous kernel as a default?
[11:37] <bl4de> hello, guys
[11:37] <bl4de> can anyone help me about AppIndicator in c language?
[11:38] <bl4de> the problem is that I can't find examples
[11:38] <FishFace> Ileden: Thing is, if you have already done updates with the newest kernel in use, then go back to the older kernel, then things would probably start going haywire.
[11:39] <FishFace> Ileden: Knowing that, you could go to option #7 on this page - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275
[11:39] <Ileden> FishFace: oh. That's what I was afraid of...
[11:39] <Dr_Willis> rigved:  no idea really. check the forums perhaps. im not clear on the original problem
[11:39] <bl4de> nobody?
[11:40] <FishFace> Ileden: I know you probably are exhausted fixing the drivers, but you might want to hang on a bit longer and see if you can fix it :)
[11:41] <rigved> Dr_Willis: ok. i have searched but not found anything. is it possible to make my laptop boot into failsafex mode automatically? i know that it requires modifying the xorg.conf file, but i don't know what to modify it to.
[11:42] <rigved> Dr_Willis: i mean how do i set it to use the vesa drivers by default?
[11:43] <rigved> Dr_Willis: never mind. found it on the forums. thanx
[11:43] <Ileden> FishFace: yeah, well, this last week my work computer's display adapter broke down, and i had to reinstall ubunut to get the new one to work, also my netbook's display broke, and now this with my home laptop... yes, pretty exchauseted :D but I want things to work, so...
[11:44] <jeffers> 你们好
[11:44] <Ileden> FishFace: so how can I proceed with trying to fix the driver?
[11:44] <aertyu> i also own myself a server i can't mirror linux install cd iso ? Ileden
[11:45] <aertyu> can i mirror linux cd iso ?
[11:45] <Oins> When i boot my system, the order of the HDDs always change. Sometimes my bootdevice is sda, sometimes it's sdb. Now the main problem, one of the devices is truecrypted. But how can i mount the truecrypt hdd with a script if the device order always change... any ideas? udev should not work in this case... :(
[11:45] <aertyu> if yes what's my profit ? Ileden
[11:45] <IdleOne> aertyu: what do you mean by profit?
[11:46] <Ileden> aertyu: no profit. well small ad probably displayed for people who download via yuor site, but mostly I think people/companies do it for the sake of goodwill.
[11:46] <ZDWAY2010> sam-_-
[11:47] <FishFace> Ileden: Wlan drivers right? Unless it is a very new laptop you should be able to dig up something. Unless you have a WUSB54GC card, I cant help
[11:47] <aertyu> no, of course i m not talking about money, to makes everything clear, what will bring to me ? Ileden
[11:47] <Ileden> FishFace: yes, it's WLAN, and pretty old laptop, wireless is via PCMCIA (or PC-card wherver they are called these days) slot.
[11:48] <Ileden> FishFace: the wlan card is newer than the laptop.
[11:48] <aertyu> ok
[11:49] <FishFace> Ileden: Wow! :)
[11:49] <Ileden> FishFace: in fact, it's a wlan card I bought for this computer just because I migrated from windows to ubuntu and the previous wlan card didn't work with ubuntu... :)
[11:49] <Stava> Is there any site that list hardware/computers that are (or are not) compatible with linux/ubuntu?
[11:50] <Ileden> FishFace: computer is IBM ThinkPad T30, Wlan card is DLink AirPlus G DWL-G630.
[11:50] <DrManhattan> I have to be honest with you, I've found ubuntu supports more hardware out of the box than any other operating system i've ever tried
[11:50] <codeanu_> hi, m working on ubuntu 10.4 and I want to update my libudev0 from 151 to >154, how can i do that ?
[11:51] <Ileden> Stava: there are some list in the ubuntu wiki.
[11:51] <teluge> hey guys i need a mini crash course what does the phrase "Hardware clock set to UTC?" mean?
[11:51] <DrManhattan> you might have to tweak wireless a little bit to get it working but other than that, its been pretty nice
[11:51] <Syria> I have just installed webmin and i am being asked for a user name and a password but i did not create any of them! how can i do that please?
[11:52] <FishFace> Ileden: You know, I used to run almost that same exact setup. But no more. I really don't know what is going to work with that setup.
[11:52] <sacarlson> teluge: there is local time and utc time (universal time)
[11:52] <amit> hi m new user. What are file system in linux?
[11:53] <teluge> problem with ubuntu is it's so user friendly it doesnt really teach you whats going on... so when you break it....the only guys that can help are people who already know about linux... i.e. this chat
[11:53] <sagaci> Exti
[11:53] <teluge> thanx sacarlson
[11:53] <sagaci> Ext4
[11:53] <dw-> google can fix anything
[11:53] <dw-> ask the right questions
[11:53] <sacarlson> amit: linux supports many file systems the defaults may be ext3 or ext4
[11:53] <teluge> ext4 is default i believe
[11:53] <codeanu_> hi, m working on ubuntu 10.4 and I want to update my libudev0 from 151 to >154, how can i do that ?
[11:53] <Ileden> FishFace: well, ubuntu 10.04 did work very well. :(
[11:54] <Ileden> FishFace: i guess I could buy at least 1.5 years more life by downgrading, then. *sigh*
[11:54] <sacarlson> codeanu_: didn't the ppa work?
[11:54] <bonjoyee1> teluge: UTC  is what was previously called GMT...
[11:55] <codeanu_> no
[11:55] <FishFace> Ileden: I think that is the way you need to go.
[11:55] <bonjoyee1>  teluge: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_Universal_Time
[11:55] <Ileden> bonjoyee1: sort of. see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_Universal_Timeh
[11:55] <Ileden> :)
 it also has 151 as latest
[11:56] <sacarlson> codeanu_: why didn't they work?  if they don't have it then you may need to compile your own and maybe create your own ppa
[11:56] <bonjoyee1> teluge: so if your hardware clock (bios) is set to UTC...the OS can automatically set your local time..u choose at install time
[11:56] <sacarlson> codeanu_: I saw versions as big as 161 in ppa
[11:56] <codeanu_> sacarlson: can u send me the link of 161 ?
[11:56] <FishFace> Ileden: That Thinkpad doesn't have USB does it?
[11:57] <Ileden> bonjoyee1, teluge : UTC is not exactly the same as GMT, but there's only theoretical differences.
[11:57] <Eduard> Hello guys, I need some help with nvidia-96 driver install
[11:57] <Ileden> FishFace: yes it does. USB 1.0 :D
[11:57] <amit> sacarlson:sir plz tell me some more names of file system
[11:57] <bonjoyee1> Ileden: yes..to the end user...the effect is the same!
[11:57] <Eduard> Got the driver installed, now in Additional Drivers it says that the driver is activated but not currently in use, how do i fix tihs?
[11:57] <Ileden> bonjoyee1: true.
[11:58] <Eduard> and also, xorg.conf is missing on my system
[11:58] <DrManhattan> 10.04 didn't detect my wireless on the livecd , I havent tried 10.10 yet
[11:58] <Ileden> Eduard: new ubuntu systems don't need xorg.conf.
[11:59] <DrManhattan> Eduard, its not missing, they don't use it unless you don't use it specifically for something
[11:59] <DrManhattan> everything usually autodetects properly
[11:59] <amit> what is samba?
[11:59] <Eduard> Oh, ok. Then how do i make the driver not only activated but also used?
[11:59] <FishFace> Ileden: Well, you could get a cheap adapter on Ebay or somewhere. 10 bucks? WG111v2 or something.
[12:00] <Eduard> Because now, god knows, what driver my system is running...
[12:00] <Ileden> FishFace: yea, that's probably what i'll try to do. less trouble than messing with downgrading.
[12:00] <FishFace> Ileden: I'm off to work. Good luck on that :)
[12:00] <DrManhattan> if you play with it enough, you can usually get your wireless working one way or another, especially if you have the windows driver for it
[12:00] <Ileden> FishFace: thanks for the help!
[12:00] <Eduard> Any ideas?
[12:00] <amit> what is samba and how to use it
[12:00] <DrManhattan> ndiswrapper and all
[12:01] <aeon-ltd> !samba | amit
[12:01] <Ileden> Eduard: in fact not god, but rather /var/log/Xorg.0.log probably knows. :)
[12:01] <amit> how to communicate with ubottu?
[12:02] <Ileden> Eduard: you can still use xorg.conf - it overrides the automatic system.
[12:03] <sacarlson> codeanu_: even debian has 16X you must not be looking very hard http://packages.debian.org/sid/libudev0

[12:07] <Eduard> Ileden: I'll probably give a shot to one crazy thing, I'll try running nvidia-xconfig
[12:07] <codeanu_> sacarlson: ya done thans a lot ..
[12:08] <Ileden> ksbalaji: if command line works for you, "sox" is a good program.
[12:08] <pupuserc1803c> hi
[12:09] <ksbalaji> heden thanks. I ve not tried sox. I shall try.
[12:09] <Jemt> Hello guys. I'm remastering the Ubuntu Live CD. Can someone tell me how to make the CD boot into the live environment by default? Currently it boots into an environment where I can click two buttons: Try Ubuntu or Install Ubuntu. If I want it to start the Live environment instead, I have to press a key on the keyboard while booting, which brings me to a boot menu, from where I can select the Live environment. But it would be great if I could just l
[12:09] <Jemt> CD boot into the LIve Environment without involving the user
[12:09] <Ileden> ksbalaji: although... i just remembered, good luck trying to get mp3 _encoding_ support active for it. :( (And blame the idiotic patents, not the program, please)
[12:10] <ksbalaji> heden does not lame take care of encoding?
[12:10] <Dr_Willis> Jemt:  i think theres some grub/syslinux kernel option that skips that. but i never looked into it much
[12:11] <Ileden> ksbalaji: could be it can use lame for it. I had problems trying to get it to encode mp3.
[12:11] <Igramul> Hi, my usb hub and usb drives seem to be in usb1.1 mode and are extremely slow. Is there a way to force linux to use usb2.0 drivers for those hubs/drives?
[12:11] <milen8204> hello all
[12:11] <thiago_> hi guys, i have a problem with my sound card, intel ich5, the sound doesnt play
[12:11] <Jemt> Dr_Willis: That's what I thought too. I should be able to set the default boot parameters in isolinux/txt.cfg, but that does not seem to be sufficient
[12:12] <Eduard> Guys, wish me good luck, i've ran nvidia-xconfig and blacklisted nouveau
[12:12] <thiago_> somebody help me?
[12:12] <thiago_> hi guys, i have a problem with my sound card, intel ich5, the sound doesnt play
[12:12] <ksbalaji> another prob: I damaged my son's laptop Lucid while fixing his dual win7 MBR. Any advise to restore his grub?
[12:12] <Eduard> Now, the epic guestion is, will I boot or go to tty1
[12:12] <Dr_Willis> Jemt:  the syslinx config for ubuntu is so complex. i can barely follow how it works. :)
[12:12] <Ileden> ksbalaji: I did manage to do it though, i think. or maybe i ended up using something else, can't remebmer anymore.
[12:12] <Jemt> Dr_Willis: :-S :-)  Well, the configuration files make sense. If only they worked :)
[12:13] <Bondv6> ksbalaji, I tend to boot a rescue cd of some sort, and install grub from it. like "system rescuecd"
[12:13] <thiago_> ubuntu 10.10 have issues with intel sound card?
[12:13] <ksbalaji> Ileden: I shall try sox . Thanks.
[12:13] <sacarlson> Jemt: I guess grep for what you see in the screens at boot to try to locate what scripts are used at boot
[12:13] <Dr_Willis> thiago_:  not that ive heard of.. i imagine there are more then 1 intel sound chipsets out.
[12:14] <Ileden> ksbalaji: you're welcome, and good luck :)
[12:14] <Jemt> sacarlson: It's all graphical :)
[12:14] <thiago_> Dr_Willis, yes, and my model have a Ac97 chipset
[12:14] <cnghost> 请大虾
[12:14] <thiago_> Dr_Willis: yes, and my model have a Ac97 chipset
[12:14] <Dr_Willis> thiago_:  tahts rather standard. should work fine.
[12:14] <Bondv6> ksbalaji, you can use the ubuntu-cd too, and use a terminal in the live desktop

[12:16] <Bondv6> ksbalaji, did you see the link I posted? Look under the "GUI" or "Command line" secution there
[12:16] <ksbalaji> Bondv6: I am grateful to get command help for restoring lucid
[12:16] <Bondv6> ksbalaji, I'd use the "command line" version there
[12:16] <ksbalaji> Bondv6: oh I shall check url.
[12:16] <Bondv6> ksbalaji, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto#Backup,%20Repairing%20and%20Reinstalling%20GRUB
[12:16] <Jemt> sacarlson: Thank you, I appreciate it. Please take a look at CD/isolinux/txt.cfg - notice the 'default' option which seems to do nothing
[12:17] <thiago_> Dr_Willis, i'll make a downgrade, what you think?
[12:17] <sacarlson> Jemt: I just noted that I don't have the iso for 10.10 desktop only xbuntu 10.10  it would take me some time before I could even try
[12:17] <Eduard> Hello back guys, My Plan failed :(
[12:17] <ksbalaji> Bondv6: But, I do not want to reinstall lucid! Is there a way to  repair?
[12:18] <Jemt> sacarlson: I see. But I would suspect the setup to be quite similar
[12:18] <Eduard> I'm getting "Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/extra/modules/nvidia-drv.so"
[12:18] <Dr_Willis> thiago_:  doubtfull.. if you upgraded.. i would try a clean new insatll instead
[12:18] <Eduard> "Failed to load module nvidia(loader failed, 7)"
[12:18] <Eduard> how to fix this?
[12:18] <sacarlson> Jemt: I'm not sure
[12:18] <Bondv6> ksbalaji, yeah. Assuming it's just the mbr that is the issue, you can fix that by installing "grub
[12:19] <sacarlson> Jemt: I guess it's not gnome it's something else
[12:19] <thiago_> Dr_Willis, ok, i'll try
[12:19] <Eduard> guys, any ideas? I desperately need help, I'
[12:19] <Jemt> sacarlson: True, I'm pretty sure it has something to do with isolinux.
[12:20] <Jemt> sacarlson: Will uploading the isolinux folder help you ?
[12:20] <Dr_Willis> Eduard:  whats the video chipset anyway?
[12:20] <Eduard> Dr_Willis : geforce mx 400, nvidia 96 driver is installed
[12:21] <Dr_Willis> Eduard:  mx400 - Hmm. that old a chipset. it could be the 96 version is to 'new' for it. and dosent support it.
[12:21] <sacarlson> Jemt: I'm not sure what you mean, you give me the isolinux folder you have?
[12:21] <Dr_Willis> theres some listing at the !nvidia wiki page as to what drivers are for what chipsets
[12:21] <sagaci> Old card
[12:21] <sacarlson> Jemt: I'll just get the ubuntu 10.10 disk,  it's something I should already have
[12:22] <Eduard> Dr_Willis: nvidia-96 all the way, on 10.04 it worked fine, and a while ago nvidia released update to 96 driver so that it could support  10.10
[12:22] <Jemt> sacarlson: Yes. It's simply the original folder from the Ubuntu 10.10 ISO. In case that can help you figure out what's going on... and by that helping me :)
[12:22] <Jemt> sacarlson: Okay, super
[12:22] <Jemt> sacarlson: I'll keep investigating. I'll let you know if I figure it out
[12:22] <Eduard> Dr_Willis: the only problem is, how do i make it load in 10.10, considering that Additional driver reports that nvidia-96 is installed, activated, but not in use
[12:23] <sacarlson> Jemt: I assume it's a 32bit,  that's what I plan to get
[12:23] <Jemt> sacarlson: Yes, 32 Bit
[12:23] <rom1v> hi
[12:24] <rom1v> I would like to connect two computers without using a router
[12:24] <amit> exit
[12:24] <aeon-ltd> amit: err forward slash?
[12:24] <Jemt> rom1v: You use a switch for that
[12:24] <Bondv6> ksbalaji, you need to first mount your partitions on the old system. Have you done this?
[12:24] <rom1v> but in /etc/network/interfaces, if I don't set a "gateway", everything I do give a "network unreachable"
[12:24] <rom1v> I would like to do it without any switch
[12:24] <Dr_Willis> rom1v:   what kind of network cards.  and you may want to isntall a dhcpd server on one of them
[12:25] <Jemt> rom1v: How are they physically connected ?
[12:25] <rom1v> ethernet
[12:25] <ksbalaji> Bondv6: That was a nice guide. But Lucid has grub2 (grub-pc)and would that mean command-line something else?
[12:25] <Bondv6> rom1v, if the two computers are one the same network, they don't need a router between
[12:25] <rom1v> ok, so I will explain my problem :
[12:25] <Dr_Willis> rom1v:  100speed = you will need a crossover cable.. gb networking - should auto-crossover.
[12:25] <Bondv6> ksbalaji, yeah, I was about to say - you'll have to use "grub-install" tool
[12:25] <Bondv6> ksbalaji, do you have a seperate boot-partition, or is it under the root parition (/) ?
[12:26] <Jemt> Oh yes, cross over is important :)
[12:26] <rom1v> I flashed my switch with a bad firmware, I would like to "flash it again", but I can't access it
[12:26] <Bondv6> ksbalaji, default it is under the root partition
[12:26] <jason__> i'm running 10.10 and set my resolution to something that's not supported.  so i don't have a gui.  how to i reset the resolution?
[12:26] <rom1v> so I connected my laptop to my router, to flash using tftp
[12:26] <rom1v> on my laptop, I configured a static ip, with the router-ip as gateway : it seems to work
[12:26] <ksbalaji> Bondv6: I've a / partition  a separate swap and a separate home not boot partition
[12:26] <ksbalaji> Bondv6: the boot is in / partition
[12:27] <rom1v> but as soon as I tftp-put a file on the router, it "disconnect" (because the router is the gateway)
[12:27] <rom1v> so I don't know how I can flash my router again
[12:27] <Bondv6> ksbalaji, first you want to mount your old / parition on the livecd. Mount it on say /mnt or so
[12:28] <ksbalaji> I am on the job. just restarted laptop to be sure with live cd.
[12:28] <Bondv6> rom1v, if the laptop and router both have an IP in the same network, they won't need to use a default router, because they are "directly connected"
[12:28] <ksbalaji> Bondv6: can I use gparted to mount / partitions?
[12:28] <rom1v> but I need a crossed cable?
[12:28] <rom1v> (wire)
[12:29] <Dr_Willis> rom1v:  for gb network cards no.. for tbase 100 - yes.
[12:29] <Bondv6> ksbalaji, easiest is to use the "mount" tool, maybe the paritions show up on the desktop?
[12:29] <Bondv6> rom1v, if they both have gigabit interfaces, it should be fine without crossed cable
[12:29] <ksbalaji> it used to show up on places. under that partition name - ubuntu
[12:29] <Eduard> how to fix this:
[12:29] <Eduard> E: Unable to locate package nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf
[12:29] <Eduard> E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf'
[12:30] <leafwiz> Hey. The screen turns black when we some times change user in ubuntu 10.04
[12:30] <Eduard> i am trying to uninstall all nvidia related stuff
[12:30] <leafwiz> I read something about updating uspalsh.conf with the correct resolution
[12:31] <cousteau> is there an option on the gconf editor or something to disable image borders on nautilus thumbnails?
[12:31] <ksbalaji> Bondv6: I could just click it and it is mounted. on media - it also shows up on desktop
[12:31] <Bondv6> ksbalaji, if you write "mount" in a terminal, you should see which device it is, and where it is mounted
[12:32] <Bondv6> ksbalaji, or "df -h" is perhaps better, so you can check the size of it.
[12:32] <Bondv6> ksbalaji, which device is it?
[12:32] <Bondv6> ksbalaji, should be called /dev/sd* or /dev/hd* something
[12:33] <clarkgriswold> http://pastebin.com/qeEstHZd <-- grub.cfg - why doesn't color or play work?  pretty certain that's the paste
[12:33] <yubahaq> hi
[12:33] <milen8204> anyone knows ogv files converters ?
[12:33] <yubahaq> how can i change a resolution from boot to 1252x864
[12:33] <yubahaq> ???????????
[12:33] <coz_> milen8204,   ffmpeg should work
[12:33] <alex__> hi all
[12:34] <sagaci> Transmageddon
[12:34] <ksbalaji> Bondv6: /dev/sda5 and /media/ubuntu
[12:34] <milen8204> ok i will try thanks
[12:34] <alex__> does anybody know how to set Totem to use gl drivers?
[12:34] <milen8204> coz_,
[12:35] <coz_> milen8204,   it should be as simple as   ffmpeg -i   name.ogv  to name.avi
[12:35] <teluge> does anyone remember the old tool ubuntu used to have called reconstructor?
[12:35] <ksbalaji> Bondv6: size is 20gb
[12:35] <rdz11> Hi, does anybody knows where is the pidgin error log file located at in ubuntu? I'm trying to see the output of an action
[12:35] <coz_> teluge,     https://projects.lumentica.com/projects/reconstructor/wiki
[12:36] <AceKing> I have a dumb question. I bought a 2 tb HDD and formatted it using the disk utility. I formatted it to Fat32 because I store my videos on it that I play through my xbox 360. I transfered all my videos over from a failing drive after the format and here's my problem. In my haste I never partitioned the drive. I can see the drive on the xbox 360, but I can't see it on a windows computer. Is there anything I can do at this point?
[12:36] <ksbalaji> Bondv6: do I cd to install grub?
[12:36] <Dr_Willis> teluge:  theres the reconstructor web siet that lets you remaster  ubuntu. but its no longer free last i checked
[12:36] <Bondv6> ksbalaji, then you should be able to reinstall grub as: grub-install --root-directory /media/ubuntu/boot /dev/sda5
[12:36] <milen8204> coz_,  i am new but will try :D
[12:36] <milen8204> coz_, should I type to ?
[12:36] <milen8204> in  terminal ?
[12:37] <Dr_Willis> AceKing:  check the 'sudo fdisk -l' output of the drive. If its just 'sda' and not 'sda1' you should still be able to mount /dev/sda
[12:37] <teluge> ah k thanks DR_Willis
[12:37] <coz_> milen8204,  well that command should work   ffmpeg -i   name.ogv  name.avi   the "name" is the name of the video you have and this should be done in the terminal
[12:37] <coz_> milen8204,   first  open a terminal  cd to the location of the video.ogv  you have
[12:37] <ksbalaji> sudo grub-install --root-directory /media/ubuntu/boot /dev/sda5 perhaps? and after chrooting?
[12:37] <Dr_Willis> AceKing:  gparted might be able to resize and redo the partitions
[12:37] <coz_> milen8204,   then run that command replacing  "name"  with the name of the video you have
[12:37] <milen8204> coz_, thnaks i understand will try
[12:38] <AceKing> Dr_Willis, Thank you.. If I do anything will I lose the data on the drive?
[12:38] <Dr_Willis> AceKing:  just mounting it under linux wont lose anything.. andy resize operation has risks
[12:39] <milen8204> i thing its work
[12:39] <AceKing> Dr_Willis, Thank you, I appreciate the info
[12:39] <milen8204> coz_ thanks a lot ()
[12:39] <coz_> milen8204,   hope that worked
[12:39] <ksbalaji> Bondv6: (shudder) would that damage existing win7?
[12:39] <Bondv6> ksbalaji, you shouldn't need to chroot. Yeah, you will need to be a root user (or use sudo)
[12:40] <milen8204> coz_, will see thanks
[12:40] <ksbalaji> ok - one final info before I hit enter - will win7 survive?
[12:40] <Bondv6> ksbalaji, no, it won't damage win7 but you might have to create a boot entry for it
[12:41] <clarkgriswold> http://pastebin.com/qeEstHZd <-- grub.cfg - why doesn't color or play work?  pretty certain that's the paste
[12:41] <Bondv6> ksbalaji, wait
[12:41] <ksbalaji> Bondv6: thanks - I got the answer from you. But I have to add - win7 need not survive in the longrun. Only on this computer for some time!
[12:41] <Bondv6> ksbalaji, this will be correct: grub-install --root-directory /media/ubuntu/boot /dev/sda
[12:42] <ksbalaji> Bondv6: with sudo?
[12:42] <Bondv6> ksbalaji, yeah
[12:44] <ksbalaji> Bondv6: can that also be hda or sda0 instead of just sda? (sorry for asking again)
[12:44] <Dr_Willis> sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/InstalledSystemMointPoint  /dev/sda --recheck
[12:45] <ksbalaji> Dr_Willis: Hi! thanks for your attention ! what does --recheck do please?
[12:45] <Bondv6> ksbalaji, it has to be the hardisk-device that the computer boots from. /dev/hda could be such a device, while /dev/sda1 wold be a partition
[12:46] <teluge> anyone here with experience editing or patching kernels?
[12:46] <bouncysteve> Q: I'm trying to use policykit to allow non-privileged users to install using software-center. I've followed the instructions in the first answer at http://askubuntu.com/questions/3/how-can-i-set-the-software-center-to-install-software-for-non-root-users but it doesn't work (even after restarting). Anyone know what's wrong?
[12:46] <ksbalaji> Bondv6: yes sda1 is the win7 partition. hda is my hdd.
[12:46] <Bondv6> ksbalaji, if sda1 is the win7 partition, then /dev/sda is your drive
[12:47] <JeroenDeDauw> I'm trying to set up some website on an Ubuntu server but am having some problems with accessing it. When I hit my ip, I get the Apache "It works" page. When I modify the thing in /var/ww/, nothing changes to the page I get.
[12:47] <JeroenDeDauw> I did not set up this server, so don't know what's going on exactly. I guess some rerouting or something, but am not sure how to find to where (I'm rather new to Linux). Any help?
[12:47] <teluge> jus delete the win7 partition.... win7 is too fru fru anyways ^^
[12:48] <Bondv6> JeroenDeDauw, You'll have to look in the www configuration for the default site, to see what's going on. usually that would be /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
[12:48] <ksbalaji> Bondv6: thanks. teluge just did that once. That is where the problem started of reinstalling this and that and this...!
[12:50] <Bondv6> ksbalaji, /dev/hd* is usually things connected with ATA, while /dev/sd* is usually serial-attached drives, like scsi, s-ata and sas
[12:50] <van7hu> hi all, I am using ubuntu 10.04, grub is grub 2 but why I type in command "grub --version" in terminal,it shows that the version is 0.97,what is the problem here ?
[12:50] <rdz11> I went to the Pidgin support page and found this, thanks though "if Pidgin isn't crashing, you can use the Debug Window (Help->Debug Window) to obtain the debug log output."
[12:50] <ksbalaji> Bondv6: do I have to add --recheck as Dr_Willis suggested? = sudo grub-install --root-directory /media/ubuntu/boot /dev/sda --recheck ?
[12:51] <Bondv6> van7hu, grub2 uses such versions. it's a bit confusing
[12:52] <Bondv6> ksbalaji, you can, it should give you a warning if it didn't install though
[12:52] <yeats> van7hu: did you do an in-place upgrade?
[12:52] <van7hu> bondv6 : no, with "update-grub" command it printouts "do you want to create menu.lst" ?
[12:52] <Dr_Willis> van7hu:  You are on an old system? whate version? menu.lst is for grub1
[12:52] <ksbalaji> van7hu: may be it is grub version and not ubuntu lucid version?
[12:52] <dennda> How do I get pidgin to show up in the indicator applet and not quit the entire app when i press the close button, but instead just hide the window?
[12:52] <van7hu> yeah, 10.04
[12:52] <Bondv6> van7hu, ah sorry, yeah, that is grub legacy
[12:52] <dennda> (maverick)
[12:53] <Dr_Willis> van7hu:  was this a clean install or a upgrade?
[12:53]  * van7hu go for st,please wait thank !
[12:53] <yeats> van7hu: if your computer is booting correctly, I would leave well enough alone unless you have a particular need for GRUB2
[12:54] <van7hu> yeah, i have opensuse and ubuntu on my pc
[12:54] <JeroenDeDauw> Bondv6: Cool. I'm not seeing anything very enlightening there though. This is what's there: http://dpaste.org/dPMf/
[12:54] <van7hu> I install opensuse 1stly and ubuntu 2ndly
[12:54] <bouncysteve> Hi all, I'm trying to edit policykit to allow non-privileged users to install using software-center. I've created a file in /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/  but it still asks for admin user's password. Anyone know what's wrong?
[12:55] <Bondv6> JeroenDeDauw, which document are you editing?
[12:55] <van7hu> now, I've installed xen and I want to ask it for grub of ubuntu
[12:55] <ksbalaji> van7hu: just be happy with grub - you would have seen my plight with grub2 here now.
[12:56] <JeroenDeDauw> Bondv6: /var/www/index.html
[12:56] <Dr_Willis> van7hu:  for a complex setup. you masy need some tweaking to your menu.lst then.
[12:56] <Bondv6> JeroenDeDauw, could there be another document in that folder, that is taking presence over index.html ?
[12:56] <dennda> nvm figured it out
[12:58] <JeroenDeDauw> Bondv6: It's the only file there (which is index.html). Also, when I try to hit a directory with site in it that I put in /var/ww/, I get a not found error.
[12:59] <milen8204> anyone who has use new version of VLC player ?

[13:01] <milen8204> coz_, how to update to 1.1.5 ?
[13:01] <Eduard> Guys, has anybody experience this stupid bug, when you set the screen resulution to 1024x768 in nvidia-settings and save the new xorg.conf and afterwards restart, you end up with a extremely small resolution like 400x400 or smth
[13:02] <Eduard> and yet, nvidia-settings shows that resolution is 1024x768
[13:02] <etheretic> Hello! Someone take a look at http://pastebin.com/kt3pyvvS - running Transmission causes horrendous lag, same for amule. Why?

[13:05] <JeroenDeDauw> Bondv6: No idea whats wrong?
[13:05] <etheretic> Wops. Did I miss a reply?
[13:06] <DongSir> Hi!

[13:10] <freedom> en
[13:10] <freedom> what is that?
[13:13] <Bondv6> JeroenDeDauw, /var/ww/ or /var/www ?
[13:13] <freedom> I can not install the NVIDIA graphics driver
[13:13] <ksbalaji> Dr_Willis:  --recheck has given some output but I do not know how to change the command. http://pastebin.com/L0STvf9C
[13:13] <JeroenDeDauw> Bondv6: /www/
[13:14] <Bondv6> ksbalaji, hmm, I think you have to write --root-directory=/media/ubuntu/boot
[13:15] <rizo> i would like to compile a GTK project, but i have a problem including the right libraries. >>g++ -o ./Debug/gladetest ./Debug/main.o  "-L." "-L." "-L/usr/lib/"  -lgtkmm-2.4<< returns >>/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgtkmm-2.4<<. But i am shure libgtkmm-2.4 is there, i can $locate it using search function. Any idea what is wrong?
[13:15] <Tyrnis> plop all :)
[13:15] <tcpa252> Hello ppl
[13:15] <Bondv6> JeroenDeDauw, not sure. could be several things. But if you are getting "it works", then that is usually some document in /var/lib/www
[13:15] <ksbalaji> Bondv6: sudo --root-directory=/media/ubuntu/boot --recheck? (what then about sda?)
[13:16] <teluge> can someone with alot of experience in other distros message me?
[13:16] <Bondv6> ksbalaji, you need the whole command you typed earlier, but use "=" between root-directory and argument, instead of space
[13:16] <tcpa252> Could anyone please help fixing this ridiculously high resolution problem after each system boot-up, here is a example of it: http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/5461/screenshotuje.png
[13:16] <tsimpson> rizo: you need the -dev packages to compile stuff
[13:17] <cousteau> rizo, make sure you have a file called libgtkmm-2.4.a (or .so)
[13:17] <cousteau> rizo, you probably need something called libgtkmm-2.4-dev or similar
[13:17] <Bondv6> tcpa252, system-> preferences-> monitor should let you set it
[13:18] <JeroenDeDauw> Bondv6: There is no "www" dir in /var/lib/. I'm just going to poke the person who set the thing up - thanks for your help though :)
[13:18] <tcpa252> Bondv6: i'm running proprietary nvidia drivers, so in my case i guess it is nvidia-settings
[13:18] <tcpa252> and also, that would mean changing resolution after each boot-up
[13:18] <rizo> cousteau, it is callled /usr/lib/libgtkmm-2.4.so.1
[13:18] <home-alone> what is best PDF viewer
[13:19] <tcpa252> here is my xorg.conf : http://pastebin.ca/2023487
[13:19] <Bondv6> JeroenDeDauw, sorry, I ment to say /var/www
[13:19] <cousteau> home-alone, I think Okular, it seems to be very complete... although I use Evince and it's very nice
[13:19] <nickrave> hello can anyone help me with my Ubunto installation?
[13:19] <rizo> tsimpson, i have libgtk2.0-dev installed
[13:19] <Bondv6> tcpa252, I thought that tool could write an updated xorg-config
[13:20] <tsimpson> rizo: but not libgtkmm-2.4-dev
[13:20] <cousteau> home-alone, you could also use the official Acrobat's one... but afaik it's hard to install since it's not on the repositories
[13:20] <AbhiJit> nickrave, what happen?
[13:20] <Bondv6> ksbalaji, did it work?
[13:20] <nickrave> I have a problem after I've burned the CD, it just wont boot up into the installation page, I get a man in a circle logo
[13:20] <nickrave> at the bottom
[13:20] <nickrave> then nothing
[13:20] <AbhiJit> :o
[13:20] <AbhiJit> man?
[13:21] <tcpa252> Bondv6 yes, it does, you see the problem, after each restart my screen resolution is way off, no matter what resolution is set through nvidia-settings
[13:21] <home-alone> thank I will okular a try . I strictly use FOSS
[13:21] <rizo> tsimpson, you are right :) will try that, thank you!
[13:21] <nickrave> yeah a little man
[13:21] <AbhiJit> nickrave, are you sure its ubuntu
[13:21] <yeats> nickrave: hit any key when the man appears - it should put you into the menu
[13:21] <clarkgriswold> http://pastebin.com/qeEstHZd <-- grub.cfg - why doesn't color or play work?  pretty certain that's the paste
[13:21] <nickrave> yeah I tired that
[13:21] <tcpa252> Bondv6: so that means, if i don't find the cause of the problem, I'll be stuck changing my resolution after each system restart
[13:22]  * AbhiJit cant remember any 'man' in installation process
[13:22] <yeats> nickrave: sounds like a bad burn or a CD drive problem
[13:22] <nickrave> I managed to install OS X, so can't be a drive problem
[13:22] <Bondv6> tcpa252, did you use the "save to X configuration file" ?
[13:22] <yeats> AbhiJit: see the bottom of this image: http://mitchtowner.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/shot0001.png
[13:23] <coz_> nickrave,   when this "man in a circle" logo appears  did you hit enter?
[13:23] <nickrave> NO I'll try that now - thanks
[13:23] <AbhiJit> aaaah
[13:23] <AbhiJit> that man
[13:23] <yeats> AbhiJit: when there are resolution problems that's sometimes all you see
[13:23] <AbhiJit> its accessibility icon
[13:23] <yeats> heh
[13:23] <AbhiJit> :)
[13:24] <tcpa252> Bondv6: yes I did this a lot of times, with no apparent luck, each time after restart my screen resolution is way off, and yet nvidia-settings shows that current resolution is the one i set before restart
[13:24] <nickrave> ahhh!!!
[13:24] <rizo> tsimpson, thank you, that solved the problem :)
[13:24] <nickrave> OK yeah that's all it was!
[13:24] <Bondv6> tcpa252, hmm, you could try to look in the Xorg.conf file after it's saved, to make sure the resolution is set in it?
[13:24] <nickrave> Stupid really thanks a lot, it's gone into the install page
[13:24] <Gigacore> suggest the best twitter client ever!
[13:24] <tcpa252> Bondv6: http://pastebin.ca/2023487
[13:25] <tcpa252> it's my current xorg.conf, as far as i can see, theres no setting for current screen resolution....
[13:25] <coz_> nickrave,   not stupid...it is a new approach... and if you have not seen it before  then   ,,hey ... now you know :)
[13:25] <Bondv6> tcpa252, and what mode do you want to use=?
[13:25] <tcpa252> Bondv6 1024x768
[13:26] <teluge> I'm a gamer,formerly windows till i upgraded ram and mobo to 64 bit.... cant stand win 7 novice at best to linux usin ubuntu 10.10 hate it i like minimalistic highly customizable os's i loved windows xp.?Any suggestions? I'm on the fence as far as arch goes.
[13:27] <Bondv6> tcpa252, you could put that mode in "the front" of the others
[13:27] <tcpa252> Bondv6: sec, i'll try it
[13:28] <yeats> teluge: try LXDE/Lubuntu
[13:28] <yeats> !lubuntu | teluge
[13:29] <Dr_Willis> teluge:  perhaps state what you  want to 'do' with your system.  thats the big thing.
[13:29] <ksbalaji> Bondv6: , Dr_Willis it worked but I get grub prompt instead of login do I proceed with sudo grub-update there?
[13:29] <Dr_Willis> 'minimalisitic highly customizeable' - a bit of a contridiction :)
[13:29] <Dr_Willis> ksbalaji:  the grub prompt is for grub commands not linux commands.
[13:30] <Bondv6> try awesomeWM :)
[13:30]  * yeats never thought of WinXP as "minimalistic" either
[13:30] <Bondv6> that is highly customizable via Lua :)
[13:30] <Dr_Willis> ksbalaji:  if grub is loading. then it perhaps need to be configured to find the right menu files.
[13:30] <Dr_Willis> Customize it so its no longer minimal. :)
[13:31] <Bondv6> ksbalaji, okay, good, as Dr_Willis says grub is now working again. I'm surprised it is not finding your menu-files now
[13:31] <tcpa252> Bondv6: Thank you very much, you saved my day
[13:32] <ksbalaji> Bondv6: Dr_Willis thanks for consolation. How to configure grub2?
[13:32] <Bondv6> tcpa252, cool
[13:32] <teluge> no you dont get it willis... i like it minimal an 10.10 is anything but
[13:32] <Bondv6> ksbalaji, boot up the livecd again
[13:32] <ksbalaji> There is something about updating grub. ?
[13:32] <teluge> and i'd really like to get the most out of my ram and graphics card as far as windows gaming/linux gaming goes
[13:32] <teluge> without all the fru fru...
[13:33] <ksbalaji> Bondv6: ok. rebooting
[13:33] <Dr_Willis> !grub2 | ksbalaji
[13:34] <Bondv6> ksbalaji, maybe we gave it the wrong path to root-directory
[13:34] <Dr_Willis> teluge:  whats the point in minimal if you are lacking wanted features.. 'minimal' is just the latest buzzword everyone likes to spout.  It seems to mean very little these days. (yes thats a pun)
[13:35] <blixten> anyone know how to get 32bit applications to run on a 64 bit powerpc ?
[13:35] <Dr_Willis> teluge:  if you want best windows gaming - run stuff in windows.. linux gaming . the gnome desktop is going to take up so few resources  on most mondern gaming rigs. that it wont matter muich as to what window manager/desktop  you use
[13:35] <teluge> cute ...hmmm better explanation is minimal desktop compare windows xp to windows 7 and i love the windows xp version best
[13:36] <Dr_Willis> if you want to use 'minimal' system resources - use lubuntu.
[13:36] <teluge> run stuff in windows go with win 7 so i can utilize my ram or forgo my ram and go with xp? i think not i can get everything working in linux i jus want it running better im greedy
[13:37] <Dr_Willis> but even with a full gnome desktopp here - and all this syecandy.. just sitting here ircing. im using less then 4% of my cpu.
[13:37] <ksbalaji> Bondv6: I have something to tell . May be we give sda5 (lucid) partition the boot flag using gparted from livecd?
[13:37] <clarkgriswold> can anyone help me get color going? http://pastebin.com/qeEstHZd
[13:37] <clarkgriswold> grub.cfg
[13:37] <teluge> lubuntu ill give it a look at ty
[13:37] <clarkgriswold> i think - i have agnosia so this is hard =//
[13:37] <Bondv6> ksbalaji, yeah, seems it should not have the "/boot" directory postfixed. this might work better: sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/ubuntu /dev/device
[13:37] <ksbalaji> Bondv6: rebooted from livecd.
[13:38] <Bondv6> ksbalaji, yeah you could make sure it has the boot flag
[13:38] <IRConan> hi there... is it currently possible to install ubuntu maverick to a multidevice BTRFS partition?
[13:38] <Dr_Willis> Bondv6:  :) my examples did point to the location of where the boot directory was at. not  the full path including boot. so i think you are right
[13:39] <Bondv6> Dr_Willis, hehe, done this so many times, but still end up getting it wrong. It's easy to think you remember it better than you actually do :/
[13:39] <shankhs> I was trying to create a bootable usb stick using dd_rescue but I messed up and now fdisk is showing only sdb and not sdb1 . can anybody please help me in bringing sdb1 back?
[13:39] <Bondv6> Dr_Willis, you wrote that page? nice work
[13:39] <teluge> all the eyecandy is jus so ugly to me i like the rudimentary feel
[13:39] <coz_> shankhs,  if no one can help here at this moment  you could scoot over to the ##linux channel ..
[13:40] <shankhs> coz_: tahnks
[13:40] <jimcooncat> shankhs, I hope you did't have anything on it you'll miss ...
[13:41] <shankhs> nope but I am unable to make it bootable without sdb1 partition
[13:41] <UnholyTerror> clarkgriswold, #grub
[13:41] <ksbalaji> Bondv6: sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/ubuntu /dev/sda ?
[13:41] <jimcooncat> shankhs, why not just start over with the ubuntu tools?
[13:42] <Bondv6> ksbalaji, yeah, looks good, if /media/ubuntu is the /dev/sda
[13:42] <shankhs> jimcooncat: sorry I did not get u

[13:44] <jimcooncat> shankhs, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent
[13:44] <ksbalaji> Bondv6: Dr_Willis before I give the command I see that the boot flag is set for some other partition ( the extended partition 3) Can I just change it and reboot to see whether grub works?
[13:44] <Bondv6> ksbalaji, yeah
[13:45] <jan-soeren> ummmm so can some1 help me with my problem?

[13:58] <wasp-> Bonjour !
[13:58] <petey> hi
[13:58] <wasp-> ya des Frogs ici ?
[13:58] <tyler_d> Dr_Willis: I removed that and still no joy :(

[13:59] <home-alone> do i need to install all 3 of them, abhijit..???
[13:59] <Dr_Willis> tyler_d:  'windows live sign in assistant' is what i removed. and it started working.. theres some sites with otuer possible fix;s as well

[14:00] <ksbalaji> Bondv6: Dr_Willis  Many Thanks! only if win7 would dual boot!
[14:00] <AbhiJit> home-alone, welcome

[14:00] <Dr_Willis> tyler_d:  never noticed. and i cant keep the windows variants strght - so thats all i know.
[14:00] <tyler_d> petey: thats a little bit vague... errors? problems?
[14:00] <ksbalaji> Bondv6: you were correct /media/ubuntu worked instead of /media/ubuntu/boot .
[14:01] <Bondv6> ksbalaji, you can run "sudo update-grub2" from ubuntu terminal, maybe it will add windows entry for you
[14:01] <Dr_Willis> tyler_d:  other url i recall reading (i bookmarked it) was -> http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/75-63-windows-samba-issue
[14:01] <tyler_d> Dr_Willis: doncha just love windows and the 8 different versions.... going to check the live sign-in thingy
[14:01] <ksbalaji> Bondv6: thanks I shall try. But even without it, my son can access those files.
[14:01] <petey> tyler. ive created a bootable usb disk and changed bios to boot from usb. but then screen just goes black, flashin whiteline in top left corner

[14:02] <DeadmanIncJS> <--is
[14:02] <Dr_Willis> tyler_d:  some game i had installed the windows live junk. and after that sambe wasent connecing.. i looked into it.. removed the live sign-n thing. and it worked.. so thats the extent of my research
[14:02] <pumper> i installed my modem and configured connection using pppconfig. but when i want to connect using pon no error message apears this means to me i connected but i cant open any web page or ping what i can do ?
[14:02] <shinobi_> skdfsdf
[14:02] <shinobi_> #ubuntologia.ru
[14:02] <Dr_Willis> pumper:  try pinging the dns server, and gateway ip#'s - if those work but for example pinging www.google.com ddoes not... You got a DNS issue..
[14:02] <tristan3199us> ksbalaji.. it will accuall duel boot... i had a duel boot on my laptop for a few months till i removed the windows partition because its seems to slow..
[14:03] <pumper> Dr-willis:how to ping dns server?
[14:03] <Bondv6> ksbalaji, yeah, windows does actually dual-boot, but I've found it easier to do it with grub
[14:04] <shinobi_> quit
[14:05] <shinobi_> exit
[14:05] <LL> hello, i have a problem. it's disappeared the panel on the top-bar that allows to change status on the chat client (the panel with the user-name). Does it happen becouse i uninstalled evolution?
[14:05] <TurRaneome> Hi, I'm having an issue where Ubuntu won't connect to a previously working Wifi, other devices can and do (Android phone, windows PCs) and it only stopped working when I put the laptop to sleep? I can connect to other wifi's now, but not my homenetwork. I've tried removing the profile and restarting the computer, but it still doesnt work.
[14:05] <petey> tyler. ive created a bootable usb disk and changed bios to boot from usb. but then screen just goes black, flashin whiteline in top left corner
[14:05] <tristan3199us> bondv6: the windows bootloader is harder to configure how you want it.. mine booted into grub.. with a windows option added..
[14:05] <tristan3199us> ll
[14:06] <Dr_Willis> petey:  sounds like grub or bootloader did not get installed right.
[14:06] <Bondv6> tristan3199us, ahh, I see
[14:06] <petey> so what can i do
[14:07] <tristan3199us> petey: i have that happen everytime i try to make a persistant usb.. did you install from the ubuntu installer or unetbootin..
[14:08] <petey> ubuntu installer
[14:08] <LL> hello, i have a problem. it's disappeared the panel on the top-bar that allows to change status on the chat client (the panel with the user-name). Does it happen because i uninstalled evolution?
[14:08] <tristan3199us> the ubuntu install doesnt ever work for me i have to use unetbootin to install.. but than its not persistant
[14:08] <jan-soeren> i think i found jre 6 finnaly
[14:09] <petey> ok thanks. can i use unetbootin with windows
[14:09] <Dr_Willis> petey:  theres a dozen tools to make bootable flash drvees at the pendrivelinux web site. try some otehr ones.
[14:09] <petey> will do, thanks very much guys.
[14:10] <tristan3199us> to make a persistant usb goto youtube or ubuntu.com has a tutorial..
[14:10] <ksbalaji> Bondv6: I updated grub2 . win7 entry did not show up. I added a custom entry for win7. But on rebooting, win7 says boot MGR is missing! good show for win7?
[14:11] <LL> help,i have a problem. i use ubuntu 10.10. it's disappeared the panel on the top-bar that allows to change status on the chat client (the panel with the user-name). Does it happen becouse i uninstalled evolution?
[14:11] <ksbalaji> Bondv6: Dr_Willis I suspect that microsopt people do not want anything else to boot. Especially linux.
[14:12] <karthick87> !wma
[14:12] <ksbalaji> Bondv6: but thanks to you , now lucid boots like a breeze.
[14:13] <Bondv6> ksbalaji, cool. Maybee you have to modify the grub-entry for it to boot win7 correctly. I'm sorry, but I don't know how to boot windows with Grub
[14:14] <arthur> Hi
[14:14] <arthur> I am brazil freands
[14:14] <tyler_d> so killing the live sign-in process worked... haven't bounced the win box yet however that has fixed it for now. painful
[14:14] <arthur> tem algum brasileiro ai?
[14:15] <UnholyTerror> ksbalaji, you suspect right.
[14:15] <Dr_Willis> tyler_d:  so its now 2 for 2 - fixing win7/samba - by removing the live sign in helper...
[14:15] <arthur> helow
[14:15] <arthur> ola
[14:15] <arthur> ola
[14:15] <arthur> ola
[14:15] <FloodBot2> arthur: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:15] <sacarlson> ksbalaji: you should have been able to just sudo update-grub to add win7 to your grub menus
[14:15] <itaylor57> !br
[14:15] <arthur> Brazilian brother
[14:15] <tyler_d> Dr_Willis: the problem is that the windows live sign-in helper enables further "security" by changing the lgp security
[14:15] <arthur> okey
[14:16] <tyler_d> Dr_Willis: you can also fix it by simply "re-enabling" the 1st and 2nd level smb security
[14:17] <arthur> my wine not road in ubunto 10.4

[14:19] <rigved> how do i logout from a GUI session using the command line?
[14:19] <tyler_d> rigved: you can kill the gnome display manager
[14:19] <Bondv6> rigved, you could do a "killall gnome-session"
[14:20] <tyler_d> rigved: service gdm stop
[14:20] <Guest99990> Cheers guys
[14:20] <tyler_d> rigved: or grep for the users process id and kill the session that way
[14:20] <ksbalaji> Dave, I just got the problem started by win7 solved! It ate up the grub. Now it is fixed with help from here. However, win7 booting was lost.
[14:20] <rigved> tyler_d, Bondv6: i can log back in again, right?
[14:21] <UnholyTerror> ksbalaji, what is you r setup?
[14:21] <tyler_d> rigved: do a restart then
[14:21] <rigved> tyler_d: ok
[14:21] <tyler_d> rigved: service gdm restart
[14:21] <tyler_d> on that note ^ what ever happened to ctrl-alt-backspace?
[14:21] <Weazel> is http://gnome-look.org/ down ? or is it just me ?
[14:21] <ksbalaji> UnholyTerror: ? lucid and win7 dual boot running on acer laptop. ?
[14:22] <Bondv6> rigved, with the killall-command yes. if you stop gdm you will have to start it again first
[14:22] <UnholyTerror> ksbalaji, what is default boot?
[14:23] <ksbalaji> ofcourse it is lucid in sda5 (whereas win7 rests in sda1)
[14:23] <UnholyTerror> ksbalaji, linux is default boot in BIOS?
[14:23] <mongy> tyler_d, its alt+sysrq+k isnt it.
[14:23] <UnholyTerror> ksbalaji, so it boots straight into grub/linux first?
[14:23] <eddy-> linux  good
[14:24] <tyler_d> mongy: not trying it right now... but made a mental note
[14:24] <rigved> Bondv6: it worked
[14:24] <Weazel> is http://gnome-look.org/ down ? or is it just me ???
[14:24] <ksbalaji> UnholyTerror: I do nothing with BIOS. It tries to boot first from CD then from USB and then from HDD
[14:24] <rigved> tyler_d: it gave me some error.
[14:24] <UnholyTerror> ksbalaji, so it boots straight into grub/linux first?
[14:24] <rigved> tyler_d, Bondv6: thanx for your help
[14:25] <tyler_d> rigved: try a restart (what are you tryign to accomplish here?)
[14:25] <tyler_d> rigved: /etc/init.d/gdm start
[14:25] <ksbalaji> UnholyTerror: as you said grub first boots lucid.
[14:26] <rigved> tyler_d: sometimes when i log in, the power icon does not display. the Me icon is displayed twice. so i cannot logout or shutdown from the gui
[14:26] <rigved> tyler_d: i know the command to restart, but now i know the command to logout also. thanx.
[14:26] <petey> guess what people
[14:27] <petey> im running ubuntu
[14:27] <tyler_d> rigved: yw :)
[14:27] <UnholyTerror> ksbalaji, have you tried: 'sudo update-grub' - should see your win7 and add it to the grub menu.
[14:28] <rigved> petey: good for you! have you got some problem that you want to ask the channel?
[14:28] <erUSUL> rigved: "logout"
[14:28] <jan-soeren> i need help with my terminial seems that when i follow instructions and type in stuff it doesnt work
[14:29] <petey> i did but u guys fixed it. so cheers
[14:29] <rasengan> Hi, can I use the Ubuntu logo/brand/likeliness/etc. for my own project?

[14:43] <UnholyTerror> ksbalaji, have you tried: 'sudo update-grub' - should see your win7 and add it to the grub menu.
[14:43] <UnholyTerror> ksbalaji, as long as the Win7 bootloader is not messed up.
[14:43] <UnholyTerror> balaji-away, as long as the Win7 bootloader is not messed up.

[15:08] <jan-soeren> well were to get tutorials for linux???
[15:09] <jan-soeren> where to get free online ubuntu 10.10 tutorials
[15:10] <maxflax> Hello, ubuntu has taken a turn I don't like.. it decides for me what I can do.. thats not ok.. thats "apple" big brother attitude
[15:11] <lolzer> i am really having problems with this version.... no support  for mpasmgui
[15:12] <BluesKaj> maxflax, in what manner ?
[15:12] <Dr_Willis> !manual | jan-soeren
[15:12] <BluesKaj> !ubuntu | jan-soeren
[15:12] <Dr_Willis> jan-soeren:  tutorials for what ? theres the wiki pages and forum posts. and dozens of other guides/sites
[15:13] <killer_> hello to all:)
[15:13] <maxflax> BluesKaj - Security ExecutableBit
[15:13] <maxflax> BluesKaj - If I trust a program and I want to run it from vfat I should be able to choose so..
[15:14] <jan-soeren> k ty guys
[15:14] <Dr_Willis> maxflax:  post a message on the forums/brain storm site. Its consdierd a security issue. so use the terminal if you really want to run them.
[15:14] <geirha> maxflax: You just need to set the exec flag on the mount
[15:14] <jan-soeren> well u guys were awesome g2g
[15:14] <maxflax> BluesKaj - Having my OS telling me that "Oh no.. you can't run this - even if I change the execute permission is insane"
[15:15] <Dr_Willis> maxflax:  or set vfat to mount EVERY file as 'executable'
[15:15] <Dr_Willis> You could set up .exe's to open with somthing else i imagine.
[15:16] <Dr_Willis> i always use 'wine whatever.exe' from terminal.because to many times i have window sapps that dont work right. and at least from the terminal i get some usefull error messages
[15:17] <maxflax> Dr_Willis - removing the ability in the GUI to select for my self is just damn stupid - even M$ has the option to turn of the check
[15:18] <Dr_Willis> maxflax:  whatever.. do you have an actual support issue for this channel? if you want to just rant. theres #ubuntu-offtopic and the forums.
[15:18] <Dr_Willis> maxflax:  and that topic has been argued to death in the forums.
[15:18] <jan-soeren> lol guess wat i just realised
[15:18] <neiz> maxflax: this isn't windows.  Running from the terminal in a general sense is better than the GUI
[15:18] <maxflax> Dr_Willis - ok, here's my question then.. how do I remove it?
[15:19] <jan-soeren> my sound does not work but it works on windows
[15:19] <jan-soeren> were to install my sound??
[15:19] <c0nv1ct> jan-soeren, did you try unmuting it and turning up the volume?
[15:19] <jan-soeren> yes
[15:19] <jan-soeren> it was not muted anyway
[15:19] <BluesKaj> maxflax, http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/unix-or-linux-commands-for-changing-user-rights.html
[15:20] <maxflax> neiz - The gui shouldn't handicap the user
[15:20] <jan-soeren> i went into sound preferences
[15:20] <c0nv1ct> jan-soeren, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems
[15:20] <jan-soeren> but i dont know wat is my actual sound lol
[15:20] <jan-soeren> k ty
[15:21] <Dr_Willis> maxflax:  set the .exe  to load with a differnt application by default. perhaps a shell scrhot that does 'xterm -e wine $1' or similer..  I just use the terminal.
[15:22] <Dr_Willis> maxflax:  or theres ways to set it where ntfs/vfat/cdroms mount with EVERY file executable. so by default they are in fact executable.
[15:22] <neiz> maxflax: the power of linux comes from the terminal/CLI. Learn it.
[15:22] <maxflax> BluesKaj - where do I change the mount option for my drive so it's set to exec?
[15:23] <ggggg> is there anyone here willing to help me with something on pm, i want to create an account on some site that banned my country and disabled proxy signup
[15:23] <maxflax> neiz - I know bash, but like a good gui for stuff
[15:25] <BluesKaj> maxflax, if it's mounted in nautilus /networking , right click properties the permissions tab / make executable
[15:26] <Dr_Willis> BluesKaj:  that wont work if its a NTFS or VFAT filesystem. or on an optical disk.
[15:26] <icesword> what do you use to rebuild a partition table?
[15:26] <everton> does any know why k3b open when i click on to my computer ubuntu
[15:27] <maxflax> BluesKaj - If it were that easy I wouldn't ask here! :p
[15:27] <BluesKaj> Dr_Willis, I'm assuming it's a ntfs partition
[15:27] <Dr_Willis> everton:  the file assoication for the 'folder' type has gotten messed up perhaps
[15:27] <maxflax> Dr_Willis - How do I make it mount as always set to exec?
[15:27] <Dr_Willis> everton:  ive seen it happen if you select a folder with dvd 'files' and tell it to open with.. a video player or otehr app.
[15:28] <Dr_Willis> maxflax:  i use the /etc/fstab   for my internal drives  - but not sure how to do it for removeable media
[15:28] <wildc4rd> afternoon all
[15:28] <Dr_Willis> I find having everything on ntfs/vfat executable - more annoying then using 'wine /whatever.exe' in a terminal when needed.
[15:28] <everton> Dr_willis I understand you I trying to find the area where i c an fix it
[15:29] <maxflax> Dr_Willis - it is a internal drive formatted with NTFS
[15:29] <Dr_Willis> everton:  try ubuntu-tweak, and check teh file assocations. theres one for folder types, let me see what mine is set to.
[15:29] <Dr_Willis> maxflax:  then you can make a fstab entry for the drive. and set the proper umask/fmask/dmask and it can set them to be all executable.
[15:29] <Dr_Willis> maxflax:  the ntfs-3g faq/docs gives examples.
[15:30] <maxflax> Dr_Willis - Well, if I put it in fstab it will auto mount.. I only mount it if I need it..
[15:31] <Dr_Willis> maxflax:  fstab has a 'noauto' option
[15:31] <jan-soeren> fixed problem
[15:31] <jan-soeren> ty
[15:31] <ejcweb> I want to simulate microphone input using an MP3 I play. Is this possible?
[15:31] <Dr_Willis> everton:  under ubuntu-tweak, file type 'tool' under 'folder' -> theres a list of what ones to use.  I think 'open folder' is the default its supposed to be.
[15:32] <Dr_Willis> everton:  ubuntu-tweak also has a toolto reset all of gnome back to the gnome defaults. :0
[15:32] <m___n> join #qt
[15:32] <Dr_Willis> everton:  ive had differnt desktops 'fight' over  what to set the default app for folders to be. :(
[15:32] <icesword> 。。
[15:33] <Dr_Willis> ejcweb:  ive seen similer trticks done with the 'webcamstudio' program . it lets you reroute stuff to differnt /dev/video# and /dev/audio# type devices you could use as if they were a real input
[15:33] <rigved> ejcweb: one way is to send the audio output to the mic input. there's one audio connector available that can do this
[15:34] <maxflax> Dr_Willis - what umask to type for it to be exec?
[15:34] <Dr_Willis> ejcweb:  its also perhaps possible with the various pulse audio config tools. (some are not installed by default)
[15:34] <ejcweb> rigved: Yeah, unfortunately I don't own one of those cables at the moment. I'm trying to find a different solution.
[15:34] <Dr_Willis> maxflax:  no idea.  I would have to look it up on the ntfs-3g docs/faq
[15:34] <Dr_Willis> I always get confused by umasks.
[15:34] <thefatloverboy_> #ubuntu-es
[15:35] <Dr_Willis> maxflax:  try 0000, mount it .. look and see.. unmount. try a differnet #
[15:35] <CovertOddity> Hello
[15:35] <ejcweb> Dr_Willis: I mean, the alternative is to select a different input source. I've got a choice of OSS, Port Audio, or PulseAudio. At the moment I'm on Port Audio default, which is my mic.
[15:35] <Dr_Willis> the umask is like '777-XXX' where XXX is the actual mask.. I think...
[15:35] <Dr_Willis> so 000 would make them all mode '777' or am i confused.
[15:35] <sunny_> hu. how do i boot livecd with bigger root partition size?
[15:36] <n2diy> how do I restart the print services?
[15:36] <everton> Dr_Willis ok I am installing utweaks
[15:37] <Dr_Willis> n2diy:  sudo service cups restart (perhaps)
[15:37] <Dr_Willis> yea its 'cups' :)

[16:18] <cysioland> How to measure song pitch in Ubuntu???
[16:18] <h0ho> \quit
[16:18] <bonjoyee> PeterFabinski: ok...then try installing the guest additions..
[16:19] <r00t4rd3d> nirazio, have you restarted vsftpd after configuring as anony ?
[16:19] <sacarlson> cysioland: I played with something like that but it wasn't working very well last I tried it.  it was like pitch to midi or something
[16:19] <nirazio> r00t4rd3d: Yes i have restarted vsftpd
[16:20] <cysioland> sacarlson I have .mp3 file
[16:20] <bonjoyee>  PeterFabinski: you want to share folders on your mac system with the guest backtrack..right?
[16:20] <sacarlson> cysioland: well I think this worked with wav but you can convert an mp3 to wav
[16:21] <r00t4rd3d> nirazio, http://www.g-loaded.eu/2008/12/02/set-up-an-anonymous-ftp-server-with-vsftpd-in-less-than-a-minute/
[16:21] <r00t4rd3d> check your settings
[16:21] <torres09> llutz: if i write startx -m gnome-session --:1 in say tty1 i am still getting no protocol spec. error...
[16:21] <PeterFabinski> bonjoyee: yes. VirtualBox says that BackTrack can access the folder, but i can't find the folder
[16:22] <PeterFabinski> in backtrack
[16:22] <MorphixNW> can anyone here help to install/calibrate a touchscreen on 10.10?
[16:22] <bonjoyee> PeterFabinski: how did u share it?
[16:22] <PeterFabinski> are you using VirtualBox
[16:22] <bonjoyee> yes..
[16:24] <PeterFabinski> in the "devices" menu for the VirtualBox application, is there a "shared folders" button?
[16:24] <r00t4rd3d> nirazio, did your settings and startup procedure match that tutorial ?
[16:24] <bonjoyee> thats right...
[16:24] <bonjoyee> ok so u have done that part..and started the guest?
[16:24] <PeterFabinski> yes
[16:25] <MorphixNW> can anyone here help to install/calibrate a touchscreen on 10.10?
[16:25] <PeterFabinski> the folder is shared with BackTrack, but i can't find it anywhere
[16:25] <nirazio> r00t4rd3d: Yes But still it's asking for a password
[16:26] <bonjoyee> PeterFabinski: try this in the guest: sudo  mount -t vboxsf sharename mountpoint
[16:26] <bonjoyee> but i honestly feel...u have to install the guest additions in the guest os..
[16:27] <jimfleig> I installed a program from a .tgz file and can find the folder and the files for the program.  Which file should be selected to run the program?  Can a place on the Applications Menu be created for the program?
[16:27] <r00t4rd3d> nirazio, I would start over and follow that tutorial to a T. You must be missing something.
[16:27] <PeterFabinski> bonjoyee: the share name is the name of the folder i want and the mounntpoint is where i want the folder to show up?
[16:27] <r00t4rd3d> pastebin your config file
[16:27] <bonjoyee> yes
[16:28] <torres09> how do i start a new xsession with gnome
[16:28] <bonjoyee> PeterFabinski: just the name of the folder..not the entire path
[16:28] <erUSUL> jimfleig: launch it from a terminal or « alt + f2 » dialog
[16:29] <jimfleig> r00t4rd3d  was the pastebin your config file directed to me?
[16:29] <bonjoyee>  PeterFabinski: for the mountpoint..specify the entire path
[16:29] <PeterFabinski> bonjoyee: i did that and i get this error: mount: unknown filesystem type 'vboxsf'
[16:29] <r00t4rd3d> jimfleig, no.
[16:29] <r00t4rd3d> torres09, does startx do anything ?
[16:29] <bonjoyee>  PeterFabinski: thats right..u do not have the guest addition installed..
[16:30] <r00t4rd3d> jimfleig, what the program source code ?
[16:30] <nirazio> r00t4rd3d: Did you tried??
[16:31] <PeterFabinski> bonjoyee: when i try to install the guest additions, i just get a script in Kate (text editor) and nothing happens.
[16:31] <AmberJ> Can I delete *.deb files in /var/cache/apt/archives/ to free up disk space?
[16:31] <bonjoyee>  PeterFabinski: please paste the contents of the cd by doing ls -l on pastebin..
[16:31] <jimfleig> erUSUL  launch it   which file is "it"?
[16:31] <torres09> r00t4rd3d:  i generally get an error like locking ~/.Xauthority or something....
[16:31] <erUSUL> AmberJ: sudo apt-get clean
[16:32] <PeterFabinski> bonjoyee: what do you mean?
[16:32] <AmberJ> Thanks a lot erUSUL
[16:32] <r00t4rd3d> jimfleig, most apps that come in a tgz file are source code. You have to compile them. What app was it ?
[16:32] <erUSUL> jimfleig: what did you installed? see the source folder for binary files
[16:32] <r00t4rd3d> and where did you getit
[16:32] <solya> maveric cannot rebbot on Asus F5N.any idea?
[16:32] <AmberJ> erUSUL, What if I manually rm them?
[16:33] <jimfleig> dxf2g-1.0.5
[16:33] <bonjoyee> PeterFabinski: in a terminal do ls -l /media/Virtual*
[16:33] <FlintWestWood> good morning all. i have alot of movies and music videos on my computer. i want to share it to my other computers and my itouch via a web interface. what do i need to do to set that up?
[16:33] <erUSUL> AmberJ: that should be ok too.
[16:33] <PeterFabinski> bonjoyee: whats the *
[16:33] <bonjoyee> and paste the output on http://pastebin.com
[16:33] <erUSUL> AmberJ: beter use apt-get clean though. less likely to make a mistake
[16:33] <d3lck0> hi all
[16:33] <bonjoyee> PeterFabinski: wildcard character...
[16:33] <erUSUL> AmberJ: "sudo rm" can be a WMD ;P
[16:33] <r00t4rd3d> jim link ?
[16:34] <torres09> r00t4rd3d:  and if i run startx as root then it says it uses conf file frm /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d
[16:34] <HowardTheDuck> hey all
[16:34] <torres09> r00t4rd3d:  and dumps me into blank screen
[16:34] <d3lck0> somebody has the fuppes media center transconding mkv for ps3¿?
[16:34] <bonjoyee> !paste > PeterFabinski
[16:34] <jimfleig> I followed instructions that included ./con...(I don't remember the rest), /make and /sudo make install.  This is from memory.  I can look up the read me file and copy the exact instructions that I followed.
[16:34] <wtfsven> i have a question about clamAV on backtrack
[16:34] <HowardTheDuck> how would i completely uninstall k3b and all it's dependencies out of ubuntu
[16:34] <HowardTheDuck> if i just do an apt-get remove that will leave the dependencies right?
[16:35] <jimfleig> I can look up the link.  Be a minute.
[16:35] <bonjoyee> !paste > bonjoyee
[16:35] <nadodeg> do autoremove
[16:35]  * HowardTheDuck tired of k3b screwing up disks in 10.04
[16:35] <erUSUL> HowardTheDuck: try « sudo apt-get autoremove »
[16:35] <HowardTheDuck> autoremove wipes dependencies?
[16:35] <PeterFabinski> bonjoyee:do i just type the star, or do i put something there?
[16:35] <AmberJ> erUSUL, yea...right. :)
[16:35] <HowardTheDuck> what about adding --purge to the end of the command should i do that?
[16:35] <solya> maveric cannot reboot on Asus F5N. any idea????
[16:35] <erUSUL> HowardTheDuck: no; --purge is to remove config files
[16:36] <bonjoyee> PeterFabinski: replace the * with the correct name of the folder if you can..
[16:36] <HowardTheDuck> ah okay
[16:36] <wtfsven> anyone else have trouble updating signatures with the clamtk interface on backtrack?
[16:36] <erUSUL> !backtrack | wtfsven
[16:36] <HowardTheDuck> too bad, Brasero has always made coasters since I was using 9.04, so I used K3b.  Now K3B makes coasters and Brasero works just fine
[16:36] <bonjoyee> PeterFabinski: the * will work as well..
[16:36] <wtfsven> ah.  thanks for the channel name.
[16:38] <PeterFabinski> bonjoyee: i get cannot access /media/Virtual*: no such file or directory
[16:38] <bonjoyee> PeterFabinski: sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom

[16:39] <Fire> Guys, how do i uninstall Evolution without blowing away the entire OS? :D
[16:39] <jimfleig> link: http://freshmeat.net/projects/dxf2g/releases/286996 and instructions that were entered in terminal: $ tar -xzvf dxf2G-version.tgz (Enter, and wait), $ cd dxf2G-version (Enter, and wait), $ ./configure (Enter, and wait), $ make (Enter, and wait), $ sudo make install (Enter, and wait)
[16:40] <jimfleig> It seemed as though everything in terminal went well.
[16:40] <jimfleig> erUSUL or r00t4rd3d  any thoughts?
[16:41] <erUSUL> jimfleig: try « dxf2g »
[16:41] <Fire> Guys, how do i uninstall Evolution without blowing away the entire OS? :D
[16:42] <Eth4n> sudo apt-get remove evolution
[16:42] <Eth4n> i think
[16:42] <Eth4n> i havent used ubuntu in ages
[16:42] <bonjoyee> Fire: ubuntu? what version?
[16:42] <Fire> Maverick
[16:42] <administrator_> hello
[16:43] <bonjoyee>  Fire: open synaptic...select evolution..mark for removal/complete removal...applpy
[16:43] <jimfleig> erUSUL  result from dxf2g is command not found
[16:43] <PeterFabinski> bonjoyee: how do i install the guest additions
[16:43] <adac> Someone familiar with "hardinfo"? I noticed that it can run as a command line program aswell, but the silly thing is that installation of "hardinfo" requires gnome (http://pastie.org/1390103) But on my server I don't want to install grafical gnome

[16:44] <bonjoyee> PeterFabinski: do you see some .run files under /media/cdrom?
[16:44] <erUSUL> jimfleig: try « dxf2G »

[16:45] <savid> Does anyone know of a good linux video editor that supports selective audio fading (ie, the ability to fade audio in and out at a given level at a given point in the video)?
[16:45] <bonjoyee>  rigved: its ok:)
[16:45] <nemo> so. ubuntu has this "smart tab complete" in bash
[16:45] <nemo> I suppose it is handy in large directories to skip to supported types
[16:45] <savid> ie,  when someone is talking  in the video, I want to decrease the music track a bit,  and then have the music increase back to full volume after.
[16:45] <jimfleig> erUSUL  here are the files in the dxf2g-1.0.5 folder  aclocal.m4  config.h.in    configure.ac  examples    Makefile.am  scripts

[16:46] <r00t4rd3d> jimfleig, it has an install script , install-sh
[16:46] <nemo> but. linux does not require file extensions, and furthermore, there are many file extensions it seems unaware a client supports.  for example. no gif playing for mplayer...
[16:46] <erUSUL> jimfleig: i saw the archive. the c file is dxf2G with capital G so the command should be --> dxf2G
[16:46] <nemo> is there a way to easily disable this feature? 'cause it is turning out to be more fail than help :(
[16:46] <jimfleig> dxf2G got results but if the program is running then I don't know where to find it
[16:46] <bonjoyee> Fire: when u mark evolution for removal...all related packages that are not required will show under "auto removable"..u can safely remove those as well
[16:46] <nemo> I imagine if I dug through bash config I might find, I'm just hoping someone knows offhand
[16:47] <patrunjel> Hi, i'm running Ubuntu 10.04, and using Code::Blocks 8.02 IDE .Can somewone please tell me how to install the SDL library?
[16:47] <nemo> patrunjel: sdl dev packages?
[16:47] <maxflax> If I write "mount  -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda5 /media/Storage" I mount my ntfs disk.. how do I write it in fstab so it does it bu auto?
[16:47] <PeterFabinski> bonjoyee: i get this: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Dec 11 14:30 /media/cdrom -> cdrom0
[16:47] <bonjoyee> PeterFabinski: oh... try ls -l /media/cdrom0
[16:47] <nemo> patrunjel: 'cause there are a bunch of libsdl-*-dev packages. just look in synaptic and install the ones you need...
[16:48] <nemo> patrunjel: I just have installed the ones that Hedgewars uses (for doing hedgewars builds)
[16:48] <erUSUL> !ntfs | maxflax
[16:48] <cheip> ciao a tutti
[16:48] <PeterFabinski> bonjoyee: i see the run files, what do i do with them?
[16:48] <jimfleig> erUSUL  I see something is the results from dxf2G that I need to pursue.  This may be the answer.  Thanks for your help!
[16:49] <patrunjel> nemo, i have installed something SDL-related (don't ask me what).As header i have to write #include <SDL/SDL.h> but i can see it doesn't cover like the SDL_Init SDL_SetVideoMode and everything, i get compiler errors.I just don't know what to install...
[16:49] <bonjoyee> PeterFabinski: ok ..now do cd /media/cdrom0
[16:49] <patrunjel> nemo, i'm interested in the library that contains SDL_SetVideoMode , for example.
[16:49] <cheip> i've reinstalled ubuntu maverik, it doesen't recognized my wifi module, it's strange
[16:49] <bonjoyee> then ./<nameofyourunfile?
[16:49] <nemo> patrunjel: welp. lemme grep :)
[16:49] <MorphixNW> can anyone help me with touchscreen calibration on 10.10?
[16:49] <bonjoyee> sudo ./<nameofyourunfile>
[16:50] <PeterFabinski> bonjoyee: now what?
[16:50] <cheip> the module is (by lspci): Atheros Communications Inc. AR2413 802.11bg NIC (rev 01)
[16:50] <cheip> what drivers can I install?
[16:50] <nemo> patrunjel: probably the base package though
[16:50] <nemo> patrunjel: try libsdl1.2-dev for a start
[16:50] <KM0201> cheip: do you have anything in system/admin/hardware drivers?
[16:50] <MorphixNW> !touchscreen
[16:50] <KM0201> hmm, guess not
[16:51] <bonjoyee> PeterFabinski: any progress?
[16:51] <MorphixNW> can anyone help me with touchscreen calibration on 10.10?
[16:51] <MorphixNW> please
[16:52] <ay_> hey
[16:52] <ay_> i consist a ubuntu usb system with usb creator gtk inside ubuntu
[16:52] <PeterFabinski> bonjoyee:i did cd /media/cdrom... now what?
[16:52] <patrunjel> nemo, it's already installed.In the tutorial i'm learning from, there is always included the include "SDL.h" header.It's kinda confusing, everything on the net is for Windows :))
[16:52] <KM0201> MorphixNW: given the fact so few people have touch screens, I would not expect any help configuring it here..  you're probalby the 2nd or 3rd person i've saw mention a touch screen in about 6yrs here
[16:52] <ay_> but when i boot usb i took live systemnot found
[16:52] <MorphixNW> I have an eGalax Touchscreen which does appear to be installed, however, the calibration is miles off and I cant configure it
[16:52] <ay_> what is that
[16:53] <nemo> patrunjel: huh. odd. SDL dev is more common in linux
[16:53] <bonjoyee> PeterFabinski: sudo ./namofrunfile
[16:53] <nemo> patrunjel: you'd think there'd be more linux tutorials
[16:53] <MorphixNW> someone somewhere must be able to help
[16:53] <frxstrem> how can I uninstall Ubuntu Netbook (the ubuntu-netbook package)?
[16:53] <nemo> patrunjel: that's in SDL_video.h though
[16:53] <KM0201> MorphixNW: well if someone could, they would have answered... it's just not that common of an issue, for most folks here to be educated about.
[16:53] <KM0201> try the forums
[16:53] <patrunjel> nemo, well, i guess there are :) i don't really have a clue...i'm now learning, and i need the library so i can experiment
[16:53] <nemo> patrunjel: you probably already have it installed, just not included
[16:54] <bonjoyee> PeterFabinski: is your guest 32 or 64 bit?
[16:54] <MorphixNW> wasting my time here is pointless then

[16:55] <nemo> patrunjel: http://gigionit.blogspot.com/2010/11/sdl-quickstart-for-linux-empty-window.html
[16:55] <bonjoyee> PeterFabinski: progress?
[16:55] <nemo> patrunjel: did a quick google search
[16:55] <patrunjel> nemo, i sayd i'm sorry, i wanted to do something else :)
[16:55] <nemo> patrunjel: other option is to find a simple existing open source SDL app too
[16:55] <Jed2> Cheers r00t
[16:56] <nemo> patrunjel: I couldn't read any sorry 'cause you were muted ;)
[16:56] <solya> maveric cannot reboot on Asus F5N. any idea????
[16:56] <Jed2> KM the one in my laptop ? or my router. router is BT home hub
[16:56] <KM0201> solya: what do you mean can't reboot?
[16:56] <bonjoyee> PeterFabinski: try sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run
[16:56] <Jed2> havent the foggiest what is in my laptop
[16:57] <KM0201> Jed2: no, i mean your wireless device, any wireless router should work... if you don't know, then its amazing its fixed..lol
[16:57] <KM0201> !tab | Jed2
[16:57] <bastidrazor> Felix00: the package 'cpufrequtils' manages cpu throttling. you can use cpufreq-info and cpufreq-set to set how it is controlled
[16:57] <patrunjel> nemo, ok :) but it doesn't find SDL_video.h
[16:57] <r00t4rd3d> Jed2, ur lucky it just worked
[16:57] <r00t4rd3d> most wifi cards are pain
[16:57] <bezao> damn, i did ctrl+c during 'do-release-upgrade' it was asking me for keep or change my apache settings, how can i do know?
[16:57] <nemo> patrunjel: maybe /usr/include/SDL is not in your search path
[16:57] <solya> KM0201: all 'initscripts' run on reboot, but when it killed all process, just stops and nothing happens
[16:57] <bezao> damn, i did ctrl+c during 'do-release-upgrade' it was asking me for keep or change my apache settings, how can i do know?  how can i continue the process?
[16:57] <patrunjel> nemo, sorry, i forgot to tell, it has something to do with the thing that i installed Ubuntu using wubi? :)
[16:58] <Jed2> lol yes, I'm ashamed to say I dont know...and I'm a an ROV pilot tech too :(
[16:58] <KM0201> r00t4rd3d: not really... atheros/intel, typically just "work"... broadcom/ralink just require installing firmware/restricted drivers... not that hard once you figure it out.
[16:58] <nemo> patrunjel: oh. or else you didn't install the package that provides SDL video :)
[16:58] <nemo> lemme check
[16:58] <Felix00> bastidrazor, i got cpufrequtils. Got cpufreq enabled in userspace gobernor, minumum is full speed, but i dont see any option to set the throttle.
[16:58] <KM0201> solya: i have no idea on taht one
[16:58] <bonjoyee>  PeterFabinski: ?
[16:58] <nemo> patrunjel: I'm updating apt-file now
[16:58] <nemo> (to see what package provides it)
[16:58] <solya> KM0201: on initscripts I mean the shutdown runlevel or something like that. I use an other lnx, just trin' to help sy
[16:58] <r00t4rd3d> KM0201, i had to fight with my broadcom.
[16:59] <PeterFabinski> bonjoyee: i 8 lunch
[16:59] <bonjoyee> PeterFabinski: sorry..
[16:59] <nemo> $ apt-file search SDL_video.h
[16:59] <nemo> libsdl1.2-dev: /usr/include/SDL/SDL_video.h
[16:59] <KM0201> r00t4rd3d: which broadcom?.. most of them.. use either the new STA driver, or the b43 driver/firmware.. both of which are in the repositories and take about 10sec to install
[16:59] <nemo> patrunjel: no luck for you. seems to be part of the standard dev package - you installed that right? :)
[16:59] <r00t4rd3d> KM0201, had to patch my kernel , install fakeroot , slap my mother
[16:59] <nemo> patrunjel: sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev
[16:59] <PeterFabinski> bonjoyee: its ok>> what did you say to do?
[16:59] <KM0201> r00t4rd3d: what?... which broadcom
[16:59] <bezao> damn, i did ctrl+c during 'do-release-upgrade' it was asking me for keep or change my apache settings, how can i do know?  how can i continue the process?
[16:59] <Jed2> OK next question chaps....is there a need for anti virus with ubuntu?
[16:59] <nemo> patrunjel: that's covered in that tutorial I linked too, I think
[16:59] <bonjoyee> sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run
[16:59] <nemo> Jed2: no
[17:00] <Jed2> nemo: cheers
[17:00] <nemo> Jed2: unless you want to virus scan your windows dual boot - install clamav and maybe a clamav frontend for that
[17:00] <bastidrazor> Felix00: change the governor..   cpufreq-info will tell you what speeds are available
[17:00] <KM0201> Jed2: only if you're planning to share w/ windows... that way you can scan it, and don't unknowingly pass on a virus to a windows user
[17:00] <nemo> Jed2: scanning outside a running operating system can often offer better results for hiding viruses :)
[17:00] <nemo> KM0201: oh. that's a good one too
[17:00] <bonjoyee>  PeterFabinski: also give me the output of , uname -m
[17:00] <bogustrumper> Does anybody in here have any experience with lirc and serial ir blasters?  I had mine working, then moved to 10.04 and now I'm having some trouble...
[17:00] <solya> anybody using maveric on Asus laptop?
[17:00] <nemo> KM0201: reminds me of when I was trying to unpack some small windows util. ran it in wine.  it had a virus. poor virus was very confused and did not work at all
[17:00] <Jed2> I want to move over completely to ubuntu after a trial period so I dont think I will need AV then
[17:01] <mitnick> hello =)
[17:01] <patrunjel> nemo, when i was trying to run the thing in the tutorial on the console, i got some sort or warning...now i realised i had synaptic opened...dumb :)
[17:01] <nemo> KM0201: it tried to write some stuff to drive_c without much success :)
[17:01] <KM0201> Jed2: very unlikely
[17:01] <nemo> patrunjel: yeah. lock on installer
[17:01] <KM0201> nemo: i've tried to install known viruses in Wine... it never works right..lol
[17:01] <KM0201> i've taken to XP in Vbox to test viruses
[17:01] <KM0201> lol
[17:01] <nemo> KM0201: they try to do too low-level of stuff...
[17:01] <bezao> i was running 'do-release-upgrade' when i acidentaly typed ctrl+c, it has stoped the upgrade! what can i do to re-run it?
[17:01] <nemo> KM0201: oh. yeah. that works well. with an image set to reset on shutdown
[17:02] <patrunjel> nemo, libsdl1.2-dev: /usr/include/SDL/SDL_video.h this is the output for the libsdl1.2-dev: /usr/include/SDL/SDL_video.h command
[17:02] <Felix00> bastidrazor, do you know what throttling is? nothing to do with frequency stepping. At 79º, freq still being 3.2 Ghz (full speed), but throttling state makes CPU 'sleep' 25% of the time 'till temp falls to 77º, then throtttle disables
[17:02] <r00t4rd3d> KM0201 , BCM4321
[17:02] <Jed2> Many thanks one and all for you help. I will now get off and start exploring Ubuntu. Cheers
[17:02] <rigved> Jed2: it's more for the security of other windows users :)
[17:02] <nemo> patrunjel: ummm
[17:02] <Jed2> rigved: thanks
[17:02] <PeterFabinski> bonjoyee: i get command not found for the .run
[17:02] <nemo> patrunjel: I said to install libsdl1.2-dev - I was just pasting the results of apt-file for you, so you'd see how it worked
[17:02] <KM0201> nemo: i don't even do that.. i just back up the "clean" image to an external source, and when i tire of the virus, i delete the virtual drive, and load the clean one
[17:02] <KM0201> r00t4rd3d: what version of Ubuntu? that really should not have been such an issue
[17:02] <bonjoyee> PeterFabinski: uname -a
[17:02] <nemo> KM0201: ah. guess that works
[17:03] <nemo> KM0201: but read only images are handy for testing in general
[17:03] <bezao> HELP i was running 'do-release-upgrade' when i acidentaly typed ctrl+c, it has stoped the upgrade! what can i do to re-run it?
[17:03] <KM0201> !broadcom | r00t4rd3d it's quite simple nowdays...
[17:03] <PeterFabinski> bonjoyee: uname -m gives me i686
[17:03] <nemo> KM0201: and you can clone 'em for a more permanent one
[17:03] <bastidrazor> Felix00: i gues i did not know what throttling was. :\
[17:03] <KM0201> nemo: yup.
[17:03] <bonjoyee> sudo ./media/cdrom0/VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run
[17:03] <bonjoyee> PeterFabinski: try that..
[17:03] <Felix00> thanks anyway bastidrazor
[17:03] <C_Okie> hi
[17:03] <bezao> HELP i was running 'do-release-upgrade' when i acidentaly typed ctrl+c, it has stoped the upgrade! what can i do to re-run it?
[17:04] <Felix00> hi. is there any way to completely DISABLE cpu throttling? I got a P4 prescott, 69º on idle. I noticed when temp is 79º, cpu throttles to 75% (T2). Will modprobe -r p4_clockmod disable throttling or just disable linux from noticing it?
[17:04] <bastidrazor> Felix00: best of luck.
[17:04] <solya> Can sy help with an ACPI problem?????
[17:04] <nemo> wow. 79!
[17:04] <Felix00> do you know what throttling is? nothing to do with frequency stepping. At 79º, freq still being 3.2 Ghz (full speed), but throttling state makes CPU 'sleep' 25% of the time 'till temp falls to 77º, then throtttle disables
[17:04] <PeterFabinski> bonjoyee: uname -a gets Linux bt 2.6.35.8 #1 SMP Sun Nov 14 06:32:36 EST 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
[17:04] <nemo> Felix00: erm....
[17:04] <nemo> Felix00: throttling doesn't necessarily involve a sleep
[17:04] <bonjoyee> PeterFabinski: pwd
[17:04] <nemo> Felix00: can also reduce the overall clock rate
[17:04] <nemo> Felix00: and 79 is very high
[17:05] <Felix00> i know nemo .
[17:05] <nemo> you risk system being forcibly shut down if it gets much hotter
[17:05] <Felix00> prescotts works 30º hotter than northwood. 69º is normal temp as intel says.
[17:05] <solya> Can sy help with an ACPI problem?
[17:05] <patrunjel> nemo, 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 11 not upgraded. This is the output after i run sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev
[17:06] <bezao-> i was running 'do-release-upgrade' when i acidentaly typed ctrl+c, it has stoped the upgrade! what can i do to re-run it?
[17:06] <nemo> patrunjel: ok. so you do have it then :)
[17:06] <C_Okie> does backing up internal drives contents on an external and also backing up data/os booting from that external onto the same external have any merit ? Could you assume the flash drive will less likely fail than a hdr
[17:06] <nemo> patrunjel: ls -l /usr/include/SDL/SDL_video.h
[17:06] <bonjoyee> PeterFabinski: whats output of "pwd"
[17:06] <patrunjel> nemo, libsdl1.2-dev:: command not found here is the output after i run the libsdl1.2-dev: /usr/include/SDL/SDL_video.h

[17:07] <nordle> Has anyone noticed a change in syntax for Mencoder in 10.10 recently?  ie bitrate for x264 appears to have gone nuts.
[17:07] <PeterFabinski> bonjoyee:/media/cdrom0
[17:07] <nemo> patrunjel: as I said before.  anyway. please run  ls -l /usr/include/SDL/SDL_video.h
[17:07] <patrunjel> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 38018 2010-06-09 05:39 /usr/include/SDL/SDL_video.h

[17:07] <bonjoyee> PeterFabinski: ok.. then do "sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run"
[17:07] <nemo> patrunjel: ok. you have dependancies. I think problem is your include path then
[17:07] <nemo> patrunjel: please talk to #sdl or #c or some other development channel
[17:08] <Makdaam> hi, did anyone set up trac-mercurial on ubuntu?
[17:08] <nemo> patrunjel: your problems are in what to specify to do a build
[17:08] <nirazio> For Photoshop there is Genuine Fractals plugin to increase image resolution with very little loss in visual quality. Is there an analogue for GIMP?
[17:08] <solya> Can sy help with ACPI problem?
[17:08] <PeterFabinski> bonjoyee: finally! something happened!
[17:09] <bonjoyee> what?
[17:09] <Felix00> nemo, and never passes 79º on full load. throttling does not *change* the freq in mhz. you can prove by monitoring cpu freq and launching cpuburn. Instead, PC load, diminishes, as it still work to the same frequ but its 25% of the time sleeping. So *implicitily* does not change the freq, but the freq in that moment isnt full loadable.
[17:09] <patrunjel> nemo, thanks a lot.  http://blogs.citypages.com/blotter/YouDaManJesus.jpg
[17:09] <Felix00> so i want just to disable throttling
[17:09] <PeterFabinski> bonjoyee: finally! it installed! bye 4 a few min... i have to restart
[17:10] <bonjoyee> bezao-: was it downloading when u cancelled?
[17:10] <PeterFabinski> bonjoyee: how DO i restart?
[17:10] <Felix00> it must be easy, i just want to create an event that when Tx > T0 goto T0
[17:10] <bonjoyee>  PeterFabinski: sudo reboot (i assume the guest)
[17:10] <brontoeee> nordle, try #x264
[17:11] <PeterFabinski> bonjoyee: do  i need to sudo anything? im logged in as root.
[17:11] <bonjoyee> PeterFabinski: reboot
[17:11] <PeterFabinski> bonjoyee: so no sudo for anything?
[17:11] <PeterFabinski> at all?
[17:11] <nemo> Felix00: I've looked up where to setup the temperature limits manually in proc
[17:11] <nemo> Felix00: but that's hardly a convenient or nice way to do it
[17:12] <bonjoyee>  PeterFabinski: are u asking about guest os..if yes then if are root already..then just type reboot or else sudo reboot
[17:12] <nordle> brontoeee: cheers, will do.
[17:12] <nemo> Felix00: (looked up in the past when trying to prevent damage) sooo, gonna sit back and see if someone has a good way to do it in here. maybe do some googling of my own.
[17:12] <PeterFabinski> bonjoyee: ok
[17:12] <nemo> Felix00: but 79 is still very high.
[17:12] <nemo> Felix00: mine is running at 37
[17:13] <Felix00> i know nemo , OEM pc, bad heatsink
[17:13] <bonjoyee> bezao-: u there?
[17:13] <bezao-> bonjoyee no, it was installing
[17:13] <Felix00> but till are ok for prescott, just google it
[17:13] <Felix00> but till 80º are ok for prescott, just google it
[17:13] <nemo> maybe not for long periods of time though
[17:14] <nemo> seems that sort of thing could eventually degrade
[17:14] <nemo> buuut ok. fine
[17:14] <Felix00> i let cpuburn, glxgears and screensaver all night
[17:14] <bezao-> bonjoyee i did an apt-get update, it showed my and error, and told me to tpe dpkg --configure -a, and it got back where it was installing
[17:14] <nemo> 80°C seems to risk materials breaking down over time
[17:14] <Felix00> nothing happened, temp = 79,77,79,77,...
[17:14] <Felix00> because the throttling
[17:14] <bezao-> bonjoyee i guess everything is okay now
[17:14] <bonjoyee> bezao-: thats right...
[17:14] <nemo> Felix00: the throttling you apparently want to override ;)
[17:15] <PeterFabinski> bonjoyee: how do i auto-start network
[17:15] <Felix00> nemo, its safe to do that. if 90º is reached, system reboots safely. chip burns at 130º+
[17:16] <Felix00> at least 120
[17:16] <bonjoyee> PeterFabinski: as in?
[17:16] <Felix00> just want to see if without throttle i can get full cicles at hight temps
[17:16] <nemo> Felix00: I suspect being very hot for extended periods of time could acculumate damage. you might want to verify that
[17:16] <Felix00> and maintain below 90º
[17:16] <nemo> like. can you run at 80 for days at a time
[17:17] <nemo> Felix00: "full cicles" ? what?
[17:17] <PeterFabinski> bonjoyee: start the BackTrack network service when the computer starts
[17:17] <nemo> Felix00: but. yeah. you're running at twice my temperature and want more. nutty
[17:17] <bonjoyee> PeterFabinski: does it have network-manager?
[17:17] <PeterFabinski> bonjoyee: ?
[17:18] <PeterFabinski> bonjoyee: what linux are you using
[17:18] <bonjoyee> PeterFabinski: debian..father of ubuntu and hence backtrack!!
[17:19] <sam-_-> bonjoyee: mother of ubuntu. a father was not involved ;-)
[17:19] <petarbt> how to recovery my partition http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/2081/screenshot2mp.png
[17:20] <Felix00> re-hi
[17:20] <bonjoyee>  sam-_-:is it? how do ya know;)
[17:20] <Felix00> sorry nemo my cat pulled the power cable -_-
[17:20] <PeterFabinski> bonjoyee:  when i start the computer i always have to go into the Services menu and start "network", can i do that automatically?
[17:20] <sam-_-> bonjoyee, if there was a father it would have to be mark :-)
[17:20] <smt-mobil> Hi guys, i just attachted a touchscreen device to my computer, wich works fine aber calibrating, but when i store results to udev rules they are ignored by the next reboot, anyone´s got an idea  how to get them persistent?
[17:20] <bonjoyee>  sam-_-:lol
[17:21] <smt-mobil> aber=after
[17:21] <sam-_-> PeterFabinski, what services menu?
[17:21] <PeterFabinski> sam-_-: i have backtrack
[17:22] <bonjoyee> PeterFabinski: do you have System>Administration>Services menu?
[17:23] <Felix00> nemo, i already know the intel presscots handle big temps. I saw a comparisson between northwood and presscott: they monitor stability while turning off the fan in both cpus to see throttling and shutdown. Both processors act the same way, with the only difference that prescott works 35º hotter, and crit temp is higher.
[17:23] <PeterFabinski> bonjoyee: no
[17:23] <sam-_-> PeterFabinski, this is an ubuntu channel ask in #backtrack-linux
[17:24] <PeterFabinski> sam-_-: i was wondering if thre was a channel for that! thx
[17:24] <bonjoyee>  PeterFabinski: did u get the shared folder?
[17:24] <none_13> hi all... where store chromium bookmaks???
[17:24] <Gamer1990> hi
[17:24] <jimfleig> From the Ubuntu Software Center qcad was selected and installed.  All went well.  I can find and launch the program from its /usr/bin location.  Why isn't there a selection in the Applications menu or one of its submenus?  Can this be created?
[17:24] <Gamer1990> can someone help me?
[17:24] <nemo> Felix00: I'm not sure of your sources but there's a big difference between running hot for 10 minutes and running hot for hours
[17:24] <Felix00> lets reask in other way: How to make cpufreq, cpufreq-utils, or acpid to FIX permanently Tx value to T0?
[17:24] <KM0201> none_13: not sure where they are stored, but you can import/xport them same as Firefox and any other browser
[17:24] <nemo> Felix00: poking around online I see plenty of people who consider higher than 65 not good on a prescott
[17:24] <KM0201> Gamer1990: just state your question, if someone can help, theyw ill
[17:25] <Gamer1990> how do i get my video card to stop flickering?
[17:25] <nemo> Felix00: soo. yeah. clearly you feel you know what you're doing, I'll just drop it.  g/l, hope you get what you want and don't kill your system
[17:25] <PeterFabinski> bonjoyee: the guest additions are installed. i havent looked for the folder yet. its not on the desktop
[17:25] <rigved> jimfleig: right click on the applications menu, click on edit menus. add the application that you want
[17:25] <Felix00> nemo, 12hrs at full load 79º last night, i repeat. i got this pc since 3 years and always was hotty. i repeat, dont worry about that
[17:25] <KM0201> Gamer1990: is it ATI?
[17:25] <Gamer1990> yes
[17:25] <Gamer1990> it is an ATI Radeon X1600 PRO 512 AGP
[17:25] <nemo> Felix00: is all fine until it dies ;)  but ok. dropping it
[17:25] <Felix00> ok
[17:26] <KM0201> Gamer1990: it depends really, do you have desktop effects enabled?..
[17:26] <Gamer1990> no
[17:26] <rigved> PeterFabinski: you need to mount the shared folder manually
[17:26] <Gamer1990> i just installed it a few minutes ago
[17:26] <PeterFabinski> rigved:ok
[17:26] <Felix00> so, someone ould tell me if what i want to do is an acpid event or something?
[17:26] <KM0201> Gamer1990: did you install the driver for ATI?
[17:26] <bonjoyee> PeterFabinski: it wont be on the desktop..u have mount it using   sudo mount -t vboxsf  sharename mountpoint
[17:26] <Felix00> could*
[17:26] <Gamer1990> no.
[17:26] <Gamer1990> where do i get it?

[17:27] <mattl> hey, i'm using 10.04 -- is it safe to install backports from lenny? the package i'm using-- movabletype-opensource -- needs to be updated for security reasons, but i can't find an adequate version in ubuntu backports.
[17:28] <Gamer1990> ok where do i get this driver?
[17:28] <KM0201> Gamer1990: that link describes everything for you.
[17:28] <xangua> mattl: no, it's not
[17:28] <KM0201> mattgyver: that would be a very bad idea
[17:28] <Gamer1990> ok
[17:28] <mattl> xangua: gah. okay. thanks :)

[17:29] <mattl> KM0201: what am i checking, sorry?
[17:29] <KM0201> i said it was a bad idea.. check is a way of saying "correction"

[17:30] <Gamer1990> no
[17:30] <Gamer1990> it is empty
[17:30] <KM0201> Gamer1990: then you're goign to have to follow the instructions at the link i gave you
[17:31] <Gamer1990> what exactly do i have to do to fix it?
[17:32] <Gamer1990> as in what do i have to read in order to fix the problem
[17:32] <KM0201> Gamer1990: READ THE PAGE AND THE LINKS THAT ARE THERE REGARDING ATI.. nobody is gonna hand hold you through it
[17:32] <stevecoh1> what is the best or easiest way to upgrade a system from Ubuntu 8.04 to the 10.4 or 10.10 (and which should I target)?
[17:32] <Gamer1990> i just turned desktop effects off
[17:32] <KM0201> Gamer1990: well, just a second ago, you said you weren't running them...
[17:33] <xangua> stevecoh1: run the update manager¿
[17:33] <Gamer1990> i didn't know i was running them
[17:33] <KM0201> Gamer1990: then rather than say "No, its not".. say "I don't know, how do i check"
[17:33] <stevecoh1> I didn't think that updated across versions.
[17:33] <Gamer1990> my card is an ATI RV530
[17:33] <bonjoyee> stevecoh1: from 8.04 u can only go to 10.04..after that u may go to 10.10
[17:34] <stevecoh1> bonjoyee:
[17:34] <stevecoh1> bonjoyee: so I do that with a ubuntu 10.04 CDROM?
[17:35] <bonjoyee> !upgrade |  stevecoh1
[17:35] <KM0201> stevecoh1: i think you can do it online... but it takes  a while, and if something goes fubar.. well.. just be happy you already have a 10.04 cd ready. :)
[17:35]  * KM0201 has never had luck upgrading...
[17:36] <hmark> lo
[17:36] <KM0201> stevecoh1: it should go w/o saying, to  make sure everything is backed up, in case somethng goes wrong and you need to reinstall..
[17:36] <durando> hey guys i want to run xbmc off my notebook to my hdtv (hdmi out on the notebook)and have the notebook screen to do work with my desktop environment
[17:36] <durando> is this possible and if so how
[17:37] <bonjoyee> stevecoh1: if u dont mind reinstalling..do a clean install..that will give a much more stable system and also advantages like ext4
[17:38] <tawfiq> hi
[17:39] <PeterFabinski> how do i auto-start network
[17:40] <wilhart> btw, should i remove pulseaudio ?
[17:40] <Jemt> PeterFabinski: What do you mean ? How you make Ubuntu auto connect to a network ?
[17:41] <PeterFabinski> jemt:yes
[17:42] <Jemt> PeterFabinski: http://www.google.dk/#hl=en&source=hp&biw=1481&bih=924&q=ubuntu+wifi+auto+connect&aq=0&aqi=g1&aql=&oq=Ubuntu+wifi+auto+con&gs_rfai=&fp=86fe4ebeec17f161
[17:42] <matilla> who's gonna upgrade to gnome-unity???
[17:43] <Jed2> well I can't connect again :(
[17:44] <PeterFabinski> i have to go into network manager and click "connect"every time i start the computer... i have a wired connection
[17:44] <maxo> hey guys, I'm having big problems today. Files I've been saving on a NTFS partition in Ubuntu have now gone missing. I managed to recover some using chkdsk, but not all, and I've found other people have the same problem, and certain workarounds. But it's worrying me - I can't afford to lose data. How do Ubuntu users dual-booting have a Documents folder that can be accessed both in Ubuntu and Windows?
[17:44] <chkdsk> What?
[17:44] <Gamer1990> it doesn't tell me where to get the driver
[17:44] <chkdsk> Oh, you just said "chkdsk", whoops
[17:44] <Gamer1990> i must be missing something.
[17:45] <Jed2> how can I stop all these Connect and left messages on screen?
[17:45] <jimfleig> From the Ubuntu Software Center qcad was selected and installed.  All went well.  I can find and launch the program from its /usr/bin location.  Why isn't there a selection in the Applications menu or one of its submenus?  Can this be created?
[17:45] <exodus_ms> maxo, are you asking how to access files on a windows partition while your logged into ubuntu?
[17:45] <xangua> depends of what client you use Jed2
[17:46] <Jed2> Opera
[17:46] <Gamer1990> help!

[17:46] <maxo> exodus_ms: I can access my ntfs partition, but it seems this can be quite risky - a couple of times I've lost files. So I'm wondering if there's a better way?

[17:46] <Enigmati1Coder> How do I get KDE screensavers in Ubuntu?
[17:46] <r00t4rd3d> grrr
[17:47] <KM0201> Enigmati1Coder: i think there's a kde-screensaver pack in the repositories
[17:47] <KM0201> Enigmati1Coder: if not, kde-look.org probably has some
[17:47] <Gamer1990> can someone please help me with my card?
[17:48] <icio> Has anybody had any luck getting the GDM working on a VIA chipset? 10.10, compiling the driver according to the user wiki didn't do the trick.
[17:48] <icio> (Appears to be a driver issue)
[17:48] <Enigmati1Coder> KM0201: Ty I think I got it (checking right now)
[17:48] <dany> hi all
[17:48] <dany> does anyonw know a channel about rrdtool?
[17:48] <PeterFabinski> how do i auto start network
[17:49] <jimfleig> I am trying to cd from jimfleig@ubuntu:~$ to the file system/usr/bin to try to launch qcad.  How do I get to the file system directory in terminal?
[17:49] <exodus_ms> maxo, im not sure. which partition did you lose the files on, the windoze or linux partition?
[17:49] <sam-_-_> PeterFabinski, didn't they tell you in backtrack-linux?
[17:49] <xangua> edit your netwrk configuracion ans set to autoconect¿¿ PeterFabinski
[17:49] <Makdaam> did anyone set up Trac on Ubuntu? with Apache?
[17:50] <maxo> exodus_ms, the windoze ntfs partition
[17:50] <icio> jimfleig: cd /usr/bin ?
[17:50] <Gamer1990> hello?
[17:50] <sam-_-_> jimfleig, /usr/bin is in your PATH just execute qcad
[17:50] <sacarlson> jimfleig: can't you just try qcad in the terminal to start it?
[17:50] <PeterFabinski> sam-_-: no
[17:50] <Gamer1990> i'm installing fglrx
[17:51] <PeterFabinski> xangua: how
[17:51] <Gamer1990> KM0201 , help.
[17:51] <xangua> clic on the network icon PeterFabinski
[17:51] <exodus_ms> maxo, ok. i dont know. ive shared files like that before, but in the end I just used an external hdd that i could mount on either os im logged into
[17:51] <maxo> exodus_ms, it's happened a few times before. I think if I hibernate windows, then boot up linux, it can corrupt the ntfs windows partition. But ntfs-3g is supposed to stop ntfs partitions being mounted if windows has set a hibernate flag
[17:51] <jimfleig> icio and sam-_-_   Thank you!
[17:51] <PeterFabinski> xangua: where is it
[17:52] <xangua> ...
[17:52] <maxo> exodus_ms, but I'm not even sure I had hibernated windows this time. And it just seems really risky, I don't want to lose files :-(
[17:52] <xangua> on your notification area PeterFabinski ...
[17:52] <jimfleig> sacarlson  qcad from jimfleig@ubuntu:~$ starts it also
[17:52] <jdioutkast> my ubuntu machine randomly restarts and i cant figure out why can some1 help me out?
[17:52] <LinuxGuy2009> I have an ASUS M3N78-Pro mobo with an NVIDIA 8300 onboard video with HDMI connector. I installed the proprietary driver from the nvidia website, and video on my HDTV works just fine. My issue is that I get no audio over the HDMI cable even though I have HDMI audio enabled in the BIOS, and also have HDMI audio out selected in Ubuntu sound preferences. Am I missing something?
[17:52] <Gamer1990> why am i being ignored?
[17:52] <sam-_-_> PeterFabinski, press alt + f2 and type nm-applet
[17:52] <jimfleig> Can a selection in the Applications menu be created?
[17:53] <maxo> I think the other problem is ntfs is such a terrible filesystem. But then the only other filesystem windows can read is FAT - and although I think that's better for recovering files, it only stores file sizes up to 4GB and is pretty bad too. So I basically seem to be stuck
[17:53] <sacarlson> jimfleig: it might also already be in Applications>grafics>qcad
[17:54] <PeterFabinski> sam-_-_: it says it cant run the specified command
[17:54] <sam-_-_> !patience | Gamer1990
[17:54] <jimfleig> sacarlson  it isn't there  I've checked all the Applications submenus.
[17:55] <maxo> Has anyone found a way of saving data on an ext3 partition and being able to access that with Windows?
[17:55] <sacarlson> jimfleig: you can add a launcher to the control panel with a right click on it
[17:55] <chicognu> How I delete a folder that start with a ( with out rename it ?
[17:55] <sam-_-_> PeterFabinski, so you may want to install it
[17:55] <sam-_-_> PeterFabinski, sudo apt-get install nm-applet
[17:55] <jimfleig> Are there instructions available to accomplish this?
[17:56] <Seq> Can anybody help with xorg.conf.d for a trackball? I've got a file that seems to match (according to Xorg.0.log) but it fails to apply "AccelerationNumerator" or "AccelerationDenominator"
[17:56] <trism> chicognu: use single quotes: rm -rf '(directory_name'
[17:56] <sam-_-_> PeterFabinski, i'm sry. correct command is: sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome
[17:56] <chicognu> trism, tk
[17:56] <Enigmati1Coder> I'm trying to use KDE screensavers along with xscreensavers. I installed kscreensaver, but they aren't showing up in the screensaver list. How can I use kscreensavers?
[17:56] <chicognu> trism, tks
[17:57] <jdioutkast> can some1 help me figure out why my computer randomly restarts
[17:57] <sacarlson> jimfleig: yes step 1 right click on control panel step 2 select add to panel, step 3 fill in the boxes.  done deal
[17:57] <sam-_-_> Gamer1990, can you post your q. again?
[17:57] <KM0201> Enigmati1Coder: they're prbably in a different location than Gnome screen savers.. you'll have to find them and move them most likely
[17:57] <gregL> maxo: samba
[17:58] <Gamer1990> sam-_-_ , i need help with my flickering video card.
[17:58] <Enigmati1Coder> KM0201: Thanks, let me try that
[17:58] <sam-_-_> Gamer1990, flickering?
[17:58] <maxo> gregL: but with the files on a remote host then?
[17:58] <PeterFabinski> hi
[17:58] <Gamer1990> sam-_-_ , pm me
[17:58] <KM0201> Enigmati1Coder: if i had to *GUESS*.. id' say they're probably under /home/.kde/something
[17:59] <gregL> maxo, Yes, I do it all the time..Winxp ,vista and win7
[17:59] <PeterFabinski> hi
[17:59] <jdioutkast> can some1 help me figure out why my computer randomly restarts
[18:00] <bonjoyee> jdioutkast: please be more elaborate..
[18:00] <KM0201> jdioutkast: are you sure thats linux related?.. that uusually suggests either a power supply (or if it happens to be a laptop) a cooling issue
[18:00] <Enigmati1Coder> I didn't see them in .kde. Is $ locate the best way to find them?
[18:00] <gregL> maxo google samba ubuntu 10.10
[18:00] <maxo> gregL: so do you use a NAS or something?
[18:00] <jdioutkast> im pretty sure its linux related, I have tested out all the hardware
[18:00] <KM0201> jdioutkast: seems very unlikely.
[18:01] <gregL> maxo,nope,I share my video files on my network..
[18:01] <jdioutkast> well im not sure what else it could be, i guess i could install windows on it and see if it still restarts
[18:01] <jimfleig> sacarlson  a right click on Applications (Ubuntu 10.?) got me where I needed to be  Thank You!
[18:01]  * KM0201 <3's FreeNas
[18:02] <maxo> gregL: so where are your documents stored?
[18:02] <jdioutkast> is their logs i could check or something that could give me any information?
[18:02] <maxo> gregL, (this is for a dual-boot system)
[18:02] <bonjoyee>  jdioutkast: System>Administration>LogViewer
[18:02] <jfactor> Hello, I recently used clamAv to preform a scan of a windows partition through Ubuntu, I then realised that my hard drive was 98% full. I can't find any files that may have caused this, can anyone help?
[18:03] <jdioutkast> which logs should i look at specifically?
[18:03] <nmefisto> hi
[18:03] <gregL> maxo: in my document folder...You can share any folders you want...
[18:03] <nmefisto> why i cant mount cdrom? on ubuntu 10.10
[18:03] <s_v_e_n> Hello - any chance to make phpgroupware working on lucid with php5.3 ?
[18:03] <s_v_e_n> I get many Deprecated-warnings and cannot login.
[18:03] <bonjoyee> jfactor: Applications>acessories>disk usage analyser
[18:04] <maxo> gregL: yes but if I boot up windows instead of ubuntu, how is it going to access the ext3 partition, since ubuntu isn't running to share that partition with smb?
[18:04] <nmefisto> i am in group cdrom... but anyway cant mount cdrom
[18:04] <gregL> maxo: ah! well that's a whole different situation then..
[18:05] <keito> my acer revo's audio has suddenly stopped working with maverick.  any ideas on how to get this back? Checked all sound settings and everything is as it should be... it's not a HW issue as XBMC  Live on the same machine works fine
[18:05] <maxo> gregL: I do have a NAS which shares files thru smb, but it's a bit noisy and not 100% reliable so I just use it for backups rather than holding a master copy of files
[18:05] <jfactor> bonjoyee: Thanks I will see what I can do with this
[18:06] <keito> maxo, there is software for Win that enables it to access ext3
[18:06] <gregL> maxo: sorry no help there..I have never tried to duel boot...
[18:07] <maxo> keito: ah yes, I just saw that, but not sure how reliable it is
[18:07] <maxo> I'm wondering whether I should do the most extreme thing I can do - wipe Windows 7 altogether, and then just run it within virtualbox on ubuntu. But not sure how well it would run
[18:08] <keito> maxo, last time i checked it was pretty crappy, but it worked to a fashion.. that was a LONG time ago though
[18:08] <keito> maxo, do that... VB is great and it's a much better way of working with 2 OSes
[18:08] <wilgil> I need help setting up a raid 5.  My drives keep switching from sda sdb sdc and sdd.  I am using ubuntu desktop and I just want to setup a raid 5 array to share my videos to all of my TVs.  Any help would be appreciated
[18:09] <maxo> keito, I feel it's a bit of an extreme approach. But I can't keep losing data!
[18:09] <liminal> im having a problem with dual monitor support in ubuntu - does anyone know how ubuntu decides which monitor is primary??
[18:09] <Gamer1990> sam-_-_ , pm me.
[18:09] <keito> maxo, why don't you have a shared partition?  NTFS (urggh!)  it'll work for both OSes
[18:10] <wilgil> Sorry, I will check in with you gurus later.  My old lady is informing me that we have to go to church.
[18:10] <keito> liminal, xorg.conf
[18:10] <liminal> keito sure.. but where
[18:10] <keito> liminal, good question... monitor device section?!  have a google
[18:11] <liminal> keito i have.. it doesnt
[18:11] <maxo> keito: but I think the problem is if I hibernate windows (though I'm not even sure if this is what happened this time), it caches ntfs data. Then, if I boot ubuntu and access that ntfs partition (even though it's not supposed to be able to, since it should have some sort of flag set on the partition), then boot back into windows, windows then messes up that ntfs partition
[18:12] <keito> maxo, ahhh in which case VB
[18:12] <Abhish> Does anybody know a good resource for learning Linux from the ground up? Like, I want to be saavy enough to build and configure my own distro if I wanted.
[18:13] <keito> liminal, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=221174
[18:13] <craiggles> hey guys, i've got a vps and i ssh into it, if i have a file on my vps, how can i get it from the vps to my this computer? surely there's a simple command.
[18:13] <keito> liminal, you specify main monitor and second monitor
[18:13] <Gamer1990> sam ?
[18:13] <snowrichard> craigggles you could use scp
[18:13] <KM0201> Abhish: crawl before you walk... learn the basics of the OS first
[18:14] <keito> what is a quick way to purge all sound settings without removing and re-installing?  my sound has died
[18:14] <Gamer1990> sam-_-_ , help.
[18:14] <Gamer1990> sam-_-_ , help.
[18:14] <Gamer1990> sam-_-_ , help.
[18:15] <maxo> Abhish: there's a distro that you have to compile it all yourself. I can't remember the name now though. But prob. best play around with command-line terminal stuff and getting the basics before building a whole distro
[18:15] <snowrichard> maxo - linux from scratch
[18:15] <keito> maxo, gentoo?!
[18:15] <maxo> yes gentoo!
[18:16] <maxo> and linux from scratch
[18:16] <keito> yes
[18:16] <Abhish> Well, I'm not talking about necesssarilly building a distro. But I would like aa source where I could learn up to that point. I went to the book store, and all the books there covered things I already knew.
[18:16] <keito> !sound > keito
[18:18] <Ray2> !Unity
[18:18] <keito> The sound troubleshooting wiki is seriously out-of-date.
[18:18] <sam-_-_> keito, better "/msg ubottu !sound"
[18:19] <keito> sam-_-_, yeah just seen that tip in a pm from the bot
[18:19] <sacarlson> Abhish: when you say your own destro do you want to make a derivitive of ubuntu?  you can create your own caches of deb files or create you own boot cd's
[18:20] <sam-_-_> keito, ok. i didn't know.
[18:20] <keito> sam-_-_, np  cheers for the tip though ;0)
[18:20] <Abhish> I have thought of that. But mainly I just really want to get geeky with it. I want ot understand the system fully.
[18:21] <Abhish> sacarlson basically, I just really want to understand Linux on a very fundamental level.
[18:22] <sam-_-_> Abhish, there is no single resource imho but you can always read the source code :-)
[18:22] <aeon-ltd> Abhish: then use ground up distros and learn the init system
[18:22] <keito> Abhish, get gentoo, it sounds like that is what you want
[18:22] <sacarlson> Abhish: you need a bit more focus to start maybe you want to learn to program in c?  maybe look at the source in the kernel at kernel.org  with git?
[18:22] <faceface> how do I install xmms
[18:22] <aeon-ltd> !xmms
[18:22] <sam-_-_> Abhish, gentoo is a good tip and maybe linux from scratch
[18:22] <faceface> how do I install xmms2
[18:22] <aeon-ltd> !find xmms2
[18:22] <keito> faceface, audacious
[18:23] <snowrichard> totem works quite well
[18:23] <aeon-ltd> !package xmms2
[18:23] <faceface> keito: I dont like audacous or otem
[18:23] <keito> xmms2 then
[18:23] <Abhish> I am learning C and C++ also, but I want to understand the system architecture. What makes it tick...
[18:23] <hylian> faceface, sudo apt-get install xmms2 from the terminal window would do it.
[18:23] <faceface> ty
[18:24] <sacarlson> Abhish: to acomplish anything you need focus and a goal.  put your first goal at a point you can reach or strive for.
[18:24] <sam-_-_> Abhish, LFS teaches people how a Linux system works internally
[18:25] <Abhish> sacarlson Ok, ultimately my goal would be to create my own distro... but I want the understanding that entails. I am looking at Linux From Scratch now... looks like a good resource.
[18:25] <sam-_-_> Abhish, that's a quote from http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/
[18:25] <faceface> does xmms2 have a gui? xmms2 at the cli just gives me a command listing
[18:26] <Abhish> Why was gentoo recommended?
[18:26] <KM0201> Abhish: cuz it's nice and hard, you'll love it.
[18:26] <Abhish> Isn't that just another pre-packaged distro?
[18:26] <Abhish> O_O
[18:26] <Abhish> That sounds so dirty.
[18:26] <rocket16> Is there a way to change Pidgin status from memenu?
[18:26] <rigved> KM0201: hard as in robust?
[18:26] <KM0201> faceface: try audacious... very similar to the old xmms, if that what you're looking for.
[18:26] <KM0201> rigved: yes...
[18:27] <hylian> promoe is a gui for xmms2. sudo apt-get install promoe
[18:27] <keito> Abhish, you compile everything from source, beginning with the kernel, and build your system from there
[18:27] <faceface> KM0201: I'll give it a go, but I don't remeber liking in ;-)
[18:27] <hylian> faceface, promoe is a good gui for xmms2
[18:27] <KM0201> faceface: it's more or less the same thing... even uses xmms Skins if you hvae any downloaded
[18:27] <faceface> kc
[18:28] <faceface> ic
[18:28] <keito> Abhish, LFS is where you basically create a distro by putting the kernel and packages together.  gentoo is a distro where you build everything from scratch
[18:28] <Abhish> I'll take a look at gentoo. I have downloaded the books from LFS.
[18:28] <alecbenzer> why does the flex package make a symlink for flex++ that points to flex? aren't they different programs?
[18:28] <faceface> KM0201: hmm... looks good! Now let see if it can handle m3u...
[18:28] <sacarlson> Abhish: all that is really needed to make a custom destro is to create a prototype of the way you want you linux and package it into a iso cd and support a method of distubution in this case apt-get.
[18:29] <KM0201> faceface: pretty sure it can... not 100% though
[18:29] <KM0201> faceface: if not, download vlc  it'll play m3u
[18:29] <faceface> right
[18:29] <Abhish> I didn't imagine it would be very difficult... but I want to make damn sure that I know what I'm doing so I can get the desired result.
[18:29] <kyleslaptop> Does any one know how to fix a problem with the bar that has the exit, maximize and minimize thats mising?
[18:30] <Abhish> And I especially want the knowledge to be able to effectively trouble shoot my issues, instead of googlin myself into a coma.
[18:30] <KM0201> kyleslaptop: it's missing?.. are you using some sort of theme you downloaded, etc?
[18:30] <keito> kyleslaptop, add them in via gconf-editor?
[18:30] <faceface> KM0201: audacious ++! I wonder why I thought I didn't like it!
[18:30] <faceface> ty all
[18:30] <jianfei> does anyone have a link to tor not on the tor website? I need to download it, but the tor website is blocked where I am
[18:30] <KM0201> Abhish: and thats perfectly understandable, but you need to learn the OS, before you try to build one.... you don't learn to swim by becoming a lifeguard
[18:30] <dirtydevil> anyone can help me in assigning mouse events in Xlib?
[18:30] <sacarlson> Abhish: maybe take a look at http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/remastersys after you have your prototype the way you want it to package into iso
[18:31] <sam-_-_> alecbenzer, obviously not or not anymore
[18:31] <KM0201> faceface: dunno, i've used it since the original xmms went away
[18:31] <r00t4rd3d> Abhish, what you desire takes year and years.
[18:31] <sam-_-_> alecbenzer, maybe it detects if it's run via symlink
[18:31] <Abhish> I'm an obsessive geek. I have years and years.
[18:31] <sam-_-_> alecbenzer, then behaves differently
[18:31] <Friar> I'm looking at building a new computer.....I do a lot of ripping DVDs and CDs so I want something with a lot of CPU power....I'm looking at the phenom 6 core. anyone have any comments about the phenom 6 core vs. the intel 6 core?
[18:31] <keito> kyleslaptop, in gconf-editor it's under Apps>Metacity>General -- Button Layout should be "close,minimize,maximize:"
[18:31] <slgma> thinking of switching from opendns to google dns - does ping matter? theres 25ms difference
[18:32] <Abhish> Phenom 6 core is excellent.
[18:32] <KM0201> Abhish: if you have years and years, then just google info on Linux from Scratch, and go at it...
[18:32] <sam-_-_> Friar, why would you need a 6 core. any reasons?
[18:32] <sacarlson> Abhish: it doesn't really take years and years to make a custom iso just collect the packages you like and change the settings the way you like and do it
[18:32] <Abhish> I'm starting on that now.
[18:32] <Friar> sam, I want them for encoding....
[18:33] <alecbenzer> sam-_-_: hm, I didn't know that could be done. it seems to not be working with a sample input file from a tutorial though...but I guess the tutorial's file might just be old or something
[18:33] <sam-_-_> Friar,x264?
[18:33] <KM0201> Abhish: well, its' really off topic for this channel, linux from scratch has a channel on another network
[18:33] <Friar> do it quite a bit, and my laptop right now only gets about 20 frames per second....yes sam, I use handbrake with H.264
[18:33] <Abhish> I'll go through LFS info for starters. THen I may  have a better idea of what I'm doing.
[18:33] <coperton> prima volta che utilizzo sta chat  qualcuno mi vuole aiutare
[18:33] <sayres> whats aplet in this pic???top ,right       -> http://img522.imageshack.us/i/screenshot2s.png/
[18:33] <Abhish> O, does it?
[18:33] <r00t4rd3d> ive used unix based os's on and off for about 10 years. Im still a newb.
[18:33] <sam-_-_> alecbenzer, there is always the man pages :-)
[18:34] <Abhish> I'll google it.
[18:34] <KM0201> r00t4rd3d: he'll learn.. i was just hoping to get him to go away
[18:34] <r00t4rd3d> lol
[18:34] <Abhish> Man pages are lovely... unless you don't know what to look up in the first place.
[18:35] <KM0201> Abhish: if you want to be off topic, go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:35] <faceface> Abhish: then irc is ++ ;-)
[18:35] <faceface> Abhish: go to
[18:35] <faceface> Abhish: go to ##linux
[18:36] <sayres> (10:03:51 PM) sayres: whats aplet in this pic???top ,right       -> http://img522.imageshack.us/i/screenshot2s.png/  plz help
[18:36] <hylian> u
[18:36] <Friar> another note on the new build....I've had a lot of luck with OCZ SSDs, but they don't have a SATA III drives out yet. Does anyone know if they are coming out with any new drives?
[18:36] <sam-_-_> Friar, i would google for some benchmarks with x264
[18:36] <Ray2> Where to find gnome-unity and can it be used on 10.04 live cd
[18:36] <KM0201> sayres: that looks like system Monitor.. not 100% sure though
[18:36] <coperton>  k
[18:36] <KM0201> sayres: good looking screenshot though
[18:36] <sam-_-_> Friar, they are quite common. be sure that they use the same settings
[18:36] <MarkSS> Where can I read about why files are color coded the way they are in Ubuntu? I seem to recall a kind of list or something...
[18:36] <sacarlson> Abhish: oh if you don't know what to look up take a look at what files you see in /usr/bin and /bin and us man on what you see.  that might give you an idea.  if that fails google it
[18:38] <coperton> ce nemusu
[18:38] <sam-_-_> MarkSS, you are talking about /etc/bash.bashrc ?
[18:39] <Abhish> sacarlson good idea, thanks.
[18:39] <hylian> MarkSS, color coded??
[18:39] <Abhish> Ok, I'm looking at the LFS books now. This looks to be EXACTLY what I had hoped for. Thanks for the tip!
[18:40] <llutz> MarkSS: thats "dircolors" from coreutils
[18:40] <MarkSS> I go to /usr/bin and type ls and it gives me a long list of stuff. Some are green, some blue, some red, some double highlighted...
[18:40] <MarkSS> Ah!
[18:40] <sam-_-_> Abhish, but keep in mind that the ubuntu way may be different sometimes
[18:40] <MarkSS> I'm just trying to figure out what each color means heh
[18:40] <MarkSS> Where can I view dircolors?
[18:41] <sacarlson> MarkSS: well you can see with ls -l  how that is maped
[18:41] <Abhish> sam-_-_ thanks, I'll keep that in mind. I have played with a couple of distros, and have noticed some subtle yet significant differences.
[18:41] <sam-_-_> MarkSS, echo $LS_COLORS
[18:41] <sam-_-_> MarkSS, for the colors that ls uses
[18:42] <Ray2> Where to find gnome-unity and can it be used on 10.04 live cd
[18:42] <MarkSS> ahhhh
[18:42] <MarkSS> Thanks!
[18:42] <hylian> MarkSS, dircolors -p will give you a directory of what the colors mean.

[18:44] <hylian> Ray2, you can download it, but unity is meant to be a replacement for gnome, not to run on top of it, and it's crashy if you do, im writing from a netbook that had unity as the main gui.

[18:45] <pid_> I googled it but it told me to run /etc/init.d/rc.local
[18:45] <pid_> and put it in there

[18:46] <jeroenimo> pid_: which commands?
[18:46] <pid_> sudo mount -t vboxsf cdrive /home/pid/cdrive
[18:47] <jeroenimo> pid_: sudo is not necessary
[18:47] <sam-_-_> pid_ put it in /etc/rc.local without the sudo
[18:47] <sayres>  KM0201:I do not know what?I think it is screenlets ...You know what?
[18:47] <hylian> Ray2, i realize i didn't answer your question, sorry. if you run synaptic, you should be able to install it just by searching for unity, making unity your default gui however, im not 100% certain of. you may be able to at login
[18:47] <MarkSS> I need to install a plugin-wireless usb key thing. What program is good for doing it? It requires a CD to install the driver. Will need to extract that somehow too.
[18:48] <mimmostella1983> Ciao amici di #ubuntu !!
[18:48] <hylian> MarkSS, your question is, erratic, sorry dude, can you be way more clear?
[18:48] <pid_> When I runWhen I run ect/rc.local nothing happens
[18:48] <mimmostella1983> ciao
[18:49] <mimmostella1983> !list
[18:49] <sam-_-_> pid_ of course not. it does nothing by default
[18:49] <sam-_-_> pid_ but if you edit the file and put your code in it will run at startup
[18:49] <MarkSS> Of course. I have a usb-key like device that gives me wireless. I need to get a file off the driver CD it came with to make it work. What package(s) will enable me to set this up and get my connection working?
[18:49] <hylian> !ubottu
[18:50] <P1nkrabbit> evening all :)
[18:50] <sacarlson> MarkSS: most wirless keythings are plug and play are you sure it doesn't work?
[18:50] <sam-_-_> MarkSS, which brand?
[18:50]  * hylian nods to pinkrabbitt
[18:50] <jeroenimo> MarkSS: chipset?
[18:50] <pid_> Thats the thing..I cant edit it, when it opens it is empty
[18:50] <MarkSS> sec
[18:50] <braidlove> hello, can anyone tell me whether my comp is running the proprietary driver or the open driver for the graphics card? thanks.
[18:51] <braidlove> i have newly installed Ubuntu 10.10 yestrady
[18:51] <keito> pid_, I would put the commands in a script, make it executable and then add the script to the Startup Apps in System>Prefs
[18:51] <P1nkrabbit> im new and having problems with installing ubuntu10.10
[18:51] <MarkSS> It is a Cisco Linksys AE1000
[18:51] <sam-_-_> keito, but they need to be run as root. is it possible with system>prefs ?
[18:52] <pid_> How would I do that?
[18:52] <Ray2> hylian, Unity not found in synaptic ...Is it still unstable ...Do you need to download an iso to have it instead of gnome
[18:52] <hylian> braidlove, under the system - administration - additional drivers will show you what drivers are running if any, and what is available. all the drivers in the additional drivers section are usually not open.
[18:52] <sam-_-_> !ask|P1nkrabbit
[18:52] <P1nkrabbit> it goes well untill i reach the installation part where it has to retrieve files ... it doesnt retrieve any lol
[18:52] <xangua> Ray2: hylian sudo apt-get install ubuntu-netbook
[18:53] <jeroenimo> MarkSS: mac80211 seems supporting that chipset
[18:53] <sayres> Who knows what is this?   top ,right       -> http://img522.imageshack.us/i/screenshot2s.png/  plzz
[18:53] <sam-_-_> P1nkrabbit, you install from cd?
[18:53] <P1nkrabbit> any idea why?
[18:53] <braidlove> hylian: thanks. "additional drivers" shows just a big blank.
[18:53] <P1nkrabbit> yes i install from cd
[18:53] <hylian> Ray2, well, i know that if you download the netbook edition, you will already have it. if you are not using a netbook, it defaults to gnome, and vice versa, but once it is installed, you can choose your favorite gui at login.
[18:53] <Ray2> xangua, I am using a pc with 10.04
[18:53] <braidlove> hylian: does this mean I'm NOT running proprietary driver ? Does that mean also that I'm NOT running open driver?
[18:54] <sam-_-_> P1nkrabbit, it shouldn't be necessary to retrieve any files for the install
[18:54] <xangua> Ray2: unity is only aviable since 10.10
[18:54] <keito> P1nkrabbit, no.  rc.local for that -- try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=659091
[18:54] <hylian> braidlove, ofcoarse i can't tell from here, but if you haven't installed any driver you will be running off of the default no thrills vesa driver, which is open.
[18:54] <wizardslovak> hello people
[18:54] <keito> P1nkrabbit, that wasn't meant for you sorry! ;0)
[18:54] <Ray2> xangua, hylian thanks for the info
[18:54] <wizardslovak> is there software to cut mp3 in half in ubuntu?
[18:54] <braidlove> hylian: is open better than propiertary?
[18:55] <keito> wizardslovak, mp3splt
[18:55] <MarkSS> I guess it just doesn't work
[18:55] <braidlove> hylian: also, if proprieatray driver is better than open driver, where can i get proprietary drivers?
[18:55] <wilhart> http://pastebin.ca/2023731
[18:55] <wilhart> plz
[18:55] <jeroenimo> MarkSS: iwconfig gives no output, and dmesg gives info when you plug in the adapter
[18:55] <hylian> braidlove, define better. for me, no. i like 3d environments, like celestia, so no. also if you like those things that make your desktop look slick like the see through menu's and bar's, then no.
[18:55] <keito> wizardslovak, there is a gui -- mp3splt-gtk
[18:56] <wizardslovak> keito,  thank you
[18:56] <sam-_-_> wizardslovak, try audacious
[18:56] <keito> wizardslovak, np
[18:56] <wilhart> having problem with pulseaudio http://pastebin.ca/2023731
[18:56] <hylian> braidlove, the additional drivers section is proprietary.
[18:56] <sam-_-_> wizardslovak, ahm audacity. sry about the wrong name
[18:56] <braidlove> hylian: but why is there nothing in the add'l drivers section?
[18:56] <braidlove> hylian: nothing to pci
[18:57] <braidlove> hylian: nothing to pick.
[18:57] <P1nkrabbit> i also have the issue that i currently have the internet but when running the installation i dont have internet, and it is a wired connection i use.
[18:57] <wizardslovak> keito,  do u know how to cut with ti?
[18:57] <keito> sam-_-_, audacity is a little hardcore for mere splitting, mp3splt is perfect for the job.... I do love audacity though =D
[18:57] <sacarlson> MarkSS: sounds like it's a ralink chip and may need to look at this http://ubuntu-ky.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1567328
[18:57] <hylian> braidlove, what is your hardware? if it is intel based, then you may be using the best driver for your hardware already, or you could be using a nvidia or ati card that is not supported.
[18:58] <sam-_-_> keito, ok good tip
[18:58] <giuseppe_> sera a tutti

[18:59] <roknir> Ub3r-N00b: there are geoIP databases that would have estimated info, but it's not perfect.  also, i haven't found any that are free...
[18:59] <keito> wizardslovak, not on a machine with it installed at the moment to guide you through
[18:59] <sacarlson> Ub3r-N00b: only if your the fbi or if it goes to a fixed static ip host that can be easily looked up.  but they normaly have many customers.
[18:59] <braidlove> hylian: is this ATI card supported in ubuntu?
[19:00] <wilhart> having problem with pulseaudio http://pastebin.ca/2023731
[19:00] <sam-_-_> braidlove, of course but not by fglrx
[19:00] <keito> wilhart, aren't we all? ;0)
[19:00] <sam-_-_> braidlove, should work "out of the box"
[19:00] <hylian> braidlove, i may have some bad news for you, ati is not exactly the most supported hardware for linux. the company has to provide drivers, and ati isn't known for keeping up with their hardware that's only a few years old. im going to take a look and see if i can find if that card is supported.
[19:00] <braidlove> sam-_-_: i don't understand
[19:00] <Ub3r-N00b> i have found the street where the computer is located, but i need the exact street number, that would presupose that it is a fixed static ip
[19:00] <braidlove> hylian: thanks.
[19:01] <Ub3r-N00b> roknir, coul you give me some software names ?
[19:01] <sam-_-_> braidlove, fglrx is the proprietary driver by ati
[19:01] <wilhart> keito, ?
[19:01] <giuseppe_> qualcuno mi può aiutare?
[19:01] <sacarlson> roknir: Ub3r-N00b: there are geo ip look ups that are free.  they will give you some info like contry and maybe the isp provider
[19:01] <pid_> Ok, so im back. that didn't work
[19:01] <Enigmati1Coder> exit
[19:01] <sam-_-_> braidlove, your card is supported by the opensource driver though
[19:01] <keito> wilhart, joke... pulseaudio is the bane of many an ubuntu user
[19:01] <pid_> How do I make a script into an exe?
[19:01] <braidlove> sam-_-_: so what can i do
[19:01] <braidlove> ?
[19:02] <roknir> Ub3r-N00b: http://www.ip2location.com/ but again, i really don't think you're going to get more accurate than street/block.  i doubt you'll get an address #.
[19:02] <braidlove> sam-_-_: r u saying that my driver should just work as is?
[19:02] <keito> pid_, sudo chmod +x
[19:02] <sam-_-_> braidlove, doesn't  it just work?
[19:02] <Ub3r-N00b> roknir, thanks mate
[19:02] <braidlove> sam-_-_: well, not sure what you mean by "work". but in braid (the game), it crashes
[19:02] <wilhart> keito, what should i do now ? remove pulse?
[19:02] <hylian> braidlove, what sam is saying is that the open driver, which does work, does not have all the functionality that the proprietary driver has.
[19:03] <hylian> yet
[19:03] <keito> wilhart, that tends to fix most peoples issues, but it's a right royal pain in the ass to do
[19:03] <pid_> Could you be a bit more specific?
[19:03] <sacarlson> roknir: Ub3r-N00b: like this one is free and gives my isp provider and country http://ip-lookup.net/
[19:03] <PeterFabinski> how do i shut down
[19:03] <sayres> :'(
[19:03] <keito> pid_, sudo chmod +x /path/to/script
[19:04] <sam-_-_> braidlove, run this glxinfo |grep -i direct
[19:04] <pid_> Ahh, cheers mate
[19:04] <keito> pid_, np
[19:04] <hylian> braidlov e, you may want to check out another distro, like pclinuxos. i hate to turn you from ubuntu, but some of the other distro's are using older kernels and can then use older drivers from proprietary sources.
[19:04] <sayres> Who knows what is this?   top ,right       -> http://img522.imageshack.us/i/screenshot2s.png/  plzz:'(
[19:05] <keito> braidlove, or you oculd upgrade that card of yours.. it's old school ;)
[19:05] <roknir> sacarlson: that information is general though.  you can dig that up from just the IP without needing a geoIP solution.
[19:05] <sam-_-_> hylian, the opensource driver is fine. it doesn't provide full 3d accel yet but other than that...
[19:05] <pid_> sudo chmod +x mount -t vboxsf cdrive /home/pid/cdrive Is that right?
[19:05] <jdioutkast> does anyone know of any bios setting that causes ubuntu to random restart?
[19:06] <hylian> sam i personally was crippled by ubuntu for 2 years, which is when i went to pclinuxos. im back now because i finally got the money to buy a nvidia card that is supported, but.
[19:06] <sam-_-_> jdioutkast, some bios provide the ability to start at a certain time or by "wake on lan" but not just random
[19:06] <juancarlos> hola
[19:06] <sacarlson> roknir: ya yours is cooler but it says I'm in bangkok about 100 miles away but gives a lat/lon that is cool you can see me from google earth now
[19:06] <PeterFabinski> how do i shut down
[19:06] <wilhart> keito, do you know any url that i could follow?
[19:06] <keito> sayres, where did you get the shot?  did it not say?  could be anything.  maybe conky or a screenlet?
[19:07] <Wyn> PeterFabinski: errr top right icon ?
[19:07] <rigved> PeterFabinski: what do you want to shut down?
[19:07] <sam-_-_> hylian, ok. but the situation is constantly improving imho :-)

[19:08] <Lancelot> I'm running Karmic, and something strange just happened. I was using firefox and all of a sudden the screen went all funny. It broke up into rectangular segments and those frozen segments rendered random parts of the screen. Is that just a freak video driver crash?
[19:08] <hylian> sam-_-_, you are right, it is, which is why i said yet. the open source driver for fglrx is gonna be awesome, it's just gonna take some time.
[19:08] <keito> wilhart, I've had nothing but ballache when trying to remove pulse in the past,  there is(/was) no concise guide, I battled it out... alsa irc chan was a good place to start

[19:11] <dn> my google earth doesnt work, very sadly... if anybody can help me with this problem would be great, i think the problem is connected with video appropriate drivers

[19:13] <keito> wilhart, I'd just like to know *how* to purge and refresh audio
[19:13] <nirazio> How much disk space they should allocate while opting for advanced partition method during an Ubuntu installation. For /, /boot, /home, swap and other paritions.???
[19:13] <wilhart> yep. let's google
[19:13] <braidlove> sam-_-_: no, this week, they came out with official linux bin
[19:13] <braidlove> sam-_-_: check out humblebundle.com
[19:13] <Wyn> wilhart: try clicking on prefrences under the volume control first just to see whats using it, you have audiocity or some such running ?
[19:13] <Lancelot> Wyn: I don't have a /debug directory. Which log file should I be looking for?
[19:13] <Flannel> nirazio: How much RAM do you have, and do you ever intend to hibernate?
[19:14] <keito> wilhart, there is a troubleshooting guide that shows you how to purge, but it is out of date
[19:14] <stevecoh1> sbackup problem.  I am trying to use the sbackup package to back up from one computer to another in my home network.  I specify the connection as ssh://user:password@192.168.1.41/home/user/backup and I get no permission errors.  However I am able to connect via ssh as user, and there are no permission problems.  What am I missing?
[19:14] <keito> !sound > wilhart
[19:14] <Flannel> nirazio: Also, how big is your HDD total?
[19:14] <sam-_-_> braidlove, oh yeah. i heard about that.
[19:14] <pid_> I still have the problem, any other solutions?
[19:14] <sam-_-_> braidlove, it very likely is a bug in the drivers.
[19:14] <nirazio> Flannel: 160 GB harddisk and 2 GB RAM
[19:14] <dn> i have dell inspiron 2200 how to install apropriate 3d driver?
[19:14] <sam-_-_> braidlove, did you upgrade all  the way?
[19:14] <Wyn> Lancelot: try cat /var/log/debug
[19:14] <braidlove> sam-_-_: in the open drivers?
[19:14] <Flannel> nirazio: Hibernation?
[19:14] <braidlove> sam-_-_: upgrade what?
[19:14] <sam-_-_> braidlove, yes
[19:15] <sam-_-_> braidlove, ubuntu
[19:15] <sayres>  Can you tell me how can I correct this way?     top ,right       -> http://img522.imageshack.us/i/screenshot2s.png/:-X
[19:15] <braidlove> sam-_-_: yes, i'm in ubuntu 10.10, but haven't donet he update
[19:15] <sam-_-_> braidlove, you also may want to enable ubuntu-updates
[19:15] <braidlove> sam-_-_: i haven't done the ubuntu-updates becaes of our pricey internet bandwidth plan
[19:15] <Wyn> keito: just use syanptic manger, search alsa, remove, re.install if thats what you want
[19:15] <Frenk> Hey I have a question concerning TELNET - when I telnet e.g. Port 25 (SMTP) which information does my computer send? Does it send my computers name???
[19:15] <nirazio> Flannel: I never use hibernation
[19:15] <BugStalker> Hi all
[19:16] <hylian> braidlove, did you check the message i sent to you in private? (and please try and not use private)
[19:16] <Lancelot> Wyn: okay, I have some output. Nothing looks out of the ordinary
[19:16] <sam-_-_> braidlove, hmm... i'm afraid i can't help you then
[19:16] <keito> Wyn, there's surely more to it... modules etc....  I would like a command line one-liner ideally
[19:16] <stevecoh1> sbackup problem.  I am trying to use the sbackup package to back up from one computer to another in my home network.  I specify the connection as ssh://user:password@192.168.1.41/home/user/backup and I get no permission errors.  However I am able to connect via ssh as user, and there are no permission problems.  What am I missing?
[19:16] <Flannel> nirazio: Is this just a standard desktop? or are you going to be playing with servers and stuff?
[19:17] <wilhart> oh, man
[19:17] <wilhart> probably have to install linux again
[19:17] <stevecoh1> again - why would ssh work but sbackup over ssh not work?
[19:17] <nirazio> Flannel: Standard desktop
[19:17] <Wyn> keito: remove and purge it then but you will miss some, searching with synaptic will give you the lot including libaries and modules
[19:17] <pid_> im trying to run a script as an exe...
[19:17] <keito> Wyn, k
[19:17] <Wyn> Lancelot: wait in and see if it happens again, update etc
[19:17] <BugStalker> For what it is worth - I thought a simple word of constructive criticism might be in order.  PERSONALLY I have not switched to Ubuntu - because it is too "cartoonish".  I work in a business environment.  I don't need my supervisors looking over my shoulder and thinking I am playing a game
[19:18] <Wyn> pid_: chmod +x
[19:18] <Flannel> nirazio: I'd go 10GB /, 1GB /boot, 2GB swap, and then the rest /home
[19:18] <keito> pid_, chmod +x makes a file executable
[19:18] <BugStalker> I work with SUSE linux at work, simply because right out of the box - it looks professional
[19:18] <keito> pid_, what do you mean by exe?
[19:18] <Lancelot> Wyn: okay, but don't the logs clear with each reboot?
[19:18] <NCS_One> hi
[19:18] <pid_> I tried that, I get  chmod: cannot access `+x': No such file or directory
[19:18] <pid_> chmod: cannot access `mount': No such file or directory
[19:18] <pid_> chmod: cannot access `vboxsf': No such file or directory
[19:18] <BugStalker> You can pass those comments on to whomever does the programming for ubuntu - or you can let it fall on deaf ears
[19:19] <Wyn> Lancelot: na, depends on the logs, they rotate on the sys logs
[19:19] <wilhart> keito, hmm no help there.
[19:19] <Wyn> pid_: re-wind dude
[19:19] <Wyn> pid_: can you ls the file you want to chmod ?
[19:19] <nirazio> Flannel: Thank you :)
[19:19] <NCS_One> I'm trying to play some mkv movie and it get out of sync, what do I need to install to play it right?
[19:20] <Wyn> NCS_One: mkv is a contaner format, VLC plays it well
[19:20] <hylian> pid_, it is chmod a+x filename, so like chmod a+x vboxsrv etc..
[19:20] <keito> pid_, ?  you need to put the command in a file, name it whatever, eg "startup-script.sh", then if it is on your desktop "sudo chmod +x ~/Desktop/startup-script.sh"
[19:20] <hylian> braidlove, i hope you find what you need, no matter what you decide.
[19:20] <Flannel> nirazio: No problem
[19:21] <keito> pid_, you should look up creating bash scripts on google
[19:22] <smt-mobil> hi, where to put a script that should be executed before login?
[19:22] <pid_> Ok...Running ubuntu through virtualdesk...want to share files from host...ran sudo mount -t vboxsf cdrive /home/pid/cdrive...But I want to autorun at startup...somone suggested as setting is as an exe
[19:22] <keito> pid_, the startup-script should begin "#!/bin/bash" as the first line in the text file
[19:23] <EnigmaticCoder> Is there any "intercom" software that would allow my parents to speak into a microphone downstairs and call me on my computer upstairs?
[19:23] <braidlove> hylian: why not use private?
[19:24] <braidlove> hylian i like private because it puts all my messages together without all the other messages
[19:24] <braidlove> 8 - 0
[19:24] <braidlove> 8-)
[19:24] <hylian> braidlove, i think it's discouraged because then not everyone can be at your disposal, im not certain if that's the truth, i just know they look upon going private here.
[19:24] <Wyn> EnigmaticCoder: spend 10 bucks on a baby thing
[19:25] <pid_> That doesn’t  really help....
[19:25] <dn> tnx for help...
[19:25] <Wyn> pid_: what, exactly are you trying to do
[19:26] <Wyn> braidlove: theres 1465 people in channel, thats useful
[19:26] <keito> pid_, http://www.diy-computer-repairs.com/ubuntu-10-04-virtualbox-shared-folders/
[19:26] <yop129> why does going to System - About Ubuntu show me as having 11.04 natty narwhal?
[19:26] <keito> pid_, that guide has everything you need
[19:26] <sam-_-_> braidlove, you may try the vesa driver. but braid will not run with those i'm afraid
[19:26] <Lancelot> yop129 - what version are you using?
[19:27] <hylian> yop129, did you download and install the development version?
[19:27] <pid_> Imma take a look
[19:27] <bliss_> need some help with rc.local I have to  insert “su vboxers -c "screen -dmS vboxwebsrv vboxwebsrv"” before the “exit 0″.
[19:27] <keito> pid_, literally everything...  you want to pay attention to the last bit
[19:27] <yop129> Lancelot, i'm using 10.10
[19:27] <bliss_> do i uncomment the bash sript
[19:28] <bliss_> script
[19:28] <hylian> yop129, i downloaded and installed 10.10, and it says im using 11.04 too..
[19:28] <yop129> hylian, no, i dled 10.10 and installed that, i've checked the about page before and it's shown 10.10, not for some reason it shows 11.04
[19:28] <Lancelot> bwah?
[19:28] <mongy> bliss_, above the exit line yes, but no need for su
[19:28] <yop129> hylian, hmm, really odd, says released in April 2011 lol
[19:29] <NCS_One> Wyn: I'm getting a lot of breakes
[19:29] <bliss_> mongy: thanks why no need for su?
[19:29] <Dr_Willis> bliss_:  just enter the  line befor the exit 0 line.. thats all there is to it.
[19:29] <Wyn> NCS_One: was the mkv a download from, errr the web ?
[19:29] <hylian> yop129, uname -a should give you the true info using the terminal
[19:29] <NCS_One> Wyn: yes
[19:29] <sIDx> mine says 11.04 also
[19:29] <mongy> bliss_,  the script (rc.local) is run as root
[19:30] <bliss_> mongy: ok
[19:30] <Dr_Willis> bliss_:  you may want a & at the end of that line.
[19:30] <hylian> yop129, oops that's what kernal version you are using
[19:30] <yop129> hylian, hmm it outputs 2.6.35-23generic
[19:30] <bliss_> Dr_Willis: say that again please
[19:30] <Dr_Willis> bliss_:  err.. you do want a su -- because it looks like youa are runnign that as the vboxers user.. from what i recall.
[19:30] <bliss_> yes
[19:31] <Dr_Willis> bliss_:  --> commandyouarerunning &
[19:31] <yop129> alright well at least it's not just me lol
[19:31] <hylian> yop129, it's lsb_release -a not uname, my bad.
[19:31] <Dr_Willis> su vboxers -c "screen -dmS vboxwebsrv vboxwebsrv"  &
[19:31] <mongy> bliss_,  sorry, usually dont need su :)  Dr_Willis to the rescue
[19:31] <bliss_> ah ok thanks
[19:31] <Dr_Willis> mongy:  you dont want screen running as root. :)
[19:32] <Wyn> NCS_One: it may be the source file then, if VLC and movie player for instance show the same it is the source, side note to sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[19:32] <yop129> hylian, alright now it shows 10.10, guess someone updated the about page too soon
[19:32] <hylian> yop129, it says under about ubuntu 11.04, but lsb_release -a says 10.10.
[19:32] <mongy> Dr_Willis, i dont  use rc.local much, very simple commands normally...  ill keep that in mind
[19:32] <Dr_Willis> night all
[19:32] <hylian> yop129, ok, cool
[19:32] <sam-_-_> yop129, why does it bother you?
[19:32] <yop129> hylian, yeah, since it's not just me then i won't worry
[19:33] <yop129> sam-_-_, nah, just wanted to make sure it's not just me, that there's not something wrong
[19:33] <sam-_-_> yop129, ok :-)
[19:33] <bx-gh> Just a question to all... who's really is writing and compiling ubuntu and placing it online for all of us?
[19:33] <bx-gh> who are the devs
[19:33] <pid_> the guide is not helping..
[19:33] <SageX> !up
[19:34] <Wyn> bx-gh: me, im all up in your box
[19:34] <sam-_-_> bx-gh folks from all over the world
[19:34] <NCS_One> Wyn: already have that, I always had problems playing mkv files, but when I try the same source on windows it plays ok
[19:34] <pngl> Hi, I am not showing up as part of a group even though I am on the group line in /etc/group. Any ideas
[19:34] <sam-_-_> bx-gh, the dev is done at launchpad.net
[19:34] <yop129> lol anyway one more question, i installed xchat, but i don't get any notifications, i beleive it's called lib-notify right?, I even installed the libnotify-bin optional package when installing xchat
[19:34] <pid_> keito: the guide aint helping much, im still stuck here mate
[19:34] <mongy> xchat-indicator
[19:34] <Wyn> bx-gh: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopers#Ubuntu%20Core%20Developers
[19:35] <bx-gh> but how makes the finally decision for what goes in and comes out of this distro
[19:35] <bx-gh> ok thanks
[19:35] <geirha> pngl: Changes to group membership doesn't take effect before you log in again.
[19:35] <monty_hall> In courier mail I have to change owner for /var/run/authdaemon to daemon:daemon.  How can I let this happen @ boot time?
[19:35] <expiation> is there a way to install wubi bigger than 30gb or to increase the size after?
[19:36] <pngl> geirha: doesn't opening a new bash count as login?
[19:36] <geirha> pngl: It does not.
[19:36] <yop129> mongy, any idea what the libnotify-bin was that is listed underneath the xchat install?
[19:36] <Wyn> NCS_One: weird, try vls filename.mkv
[19:36] <mongy> yop129, no idea.. but the app you need is xchat-indicator.
[19:36] <pngl> geirha: thank you.
[19:36] <yop129> mongy, alright, thanks
[19:36] <monty_hall> clear
[19:37] <mongy> yop129, well its the notify system itself, just what it has to do with xchat (nothing) idk
[19:37] <Wyn> NCS_One: watch for the error and vlc's output and then we can debug the traceback
[19:37] <bliss_> Dr_Willis: like this does anything need uncommenting http://pastebin.com/u6CQRj3L
[19:37] <kingOfBudz> my computer's broke
[19:37] <mongy> bliss_,  only 1 " ?
[19:38] <yop129> mongy, hmm that's weird because it was originally blanked out underneath the xchat in ubuntu software center and i selected it so that i would get the notifications, but nothing from xchat, every other ntoficastion worked before
[19:38] <mongy> yop129, I think some apps have it coded in, and others dont, and need extra packages, like xchat
[19:39] <sam-_-_> kingOfBudz then let it acquire currency...
[19:39] <mongy> bliss_, looks ok apart from that tho....
[19:39] <bliss_> mongy: ok thanks whats & for?
[19:39] <GaryD> yop129: i am using pidgin for irc...
[19:40] <yop129> mongy, yeah just weird why it has libnotify-bin listed underneath it, ok i installed the indicator let me restart and try it
[19:40] <mongy> puts it to background
[19:40] <kingOfBudz> i know it sucks i was really stoned and spilled coffee on it
[19:40] <yop129> GaryD, i've used it before, don't really like it, pidgin is for im
[19:40] <mongy> brb
[19:40] <braidlove> sam-_-_: ok. i'll update
[19:41] <braidlove> sam-_-_: but how can i update ONLY the packages relevant to this driver?
[19:41] <Wyn> bliss_: the Dr is not in the house and no
[19:41] <noonian> braidlove, why wouldn't you want to update everything?
[19:41] <bliss_> mongy: ok thanks whats & for?
[19:41] <magicianlord> noonian: sometimes packages can break things
[19:41] <yop129> can someone mention my name, i wanna see if the notification works
[19:41] <Wyn> kingOfBudz: did you try and turn it on again ?
[19:42] <Wyn> yop129:
[19:42] <sam-_-_> braidlove, try sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-radeon
[19:42] <Lancelot> how do you get in/out of the console only mode?
[19:42] <sam-_-_> braidlove, might be a lot nonetheless
[19:42] <braidlove> sam-_-_:  xserver-xorg-video-radeon is already the newest version.
[19:42] <UbuntuNewbie> If anyone knows how to answer this question I will be greatful: I have just installed ubuntu 10.10 and when the computer boots it doesn
[19:42] <UbuntuNewbie> t show the GUI
[19:42] <yop129> damn, didn't work one sec
[19:42] <sam-_-_> braidlove did you run sudo apt-get update before?
[19:43] <braidlove> noonian: because currently, my interned bandwidth is VERY pricey 8 - )
[19:43] <Wyn> UbuntuNewbie: no X server you mean ? no login screen ?
[19:43] <braidlove> and i was gonig to update theother stuff from another place
[19:43] <sam-_-_> braidlove, do you pay per mb?
[19:43] <UbuntuNewbie> If anyone knows how to answer this question I will be greatful: I have just installed ubuntu 10.10 and when the computer boots it doesn't show the gui, and I can only get it to show gui if I type startx

[19:43] <braidlove> 1st tier = up to 3 GB
[19:43] <braidlove> second: i think up to 6 GB
[19:43] <kingOfBudz> wyn it worked thnx i was hitting some other button, needed to be pushing power button
[19:43] <braidlove> sam-_-_: and the thing is, i don't have access to the current usage.

[19:44] <nirazio> how to install intous 4 driver???
[19:44] <sam-_-_> braidlove, all 3G?
[19:44] <Wyn> UbuntuNewbie: X should of course start on boot, did you edit anything ? or is this a clean install ?
[19:44] <braidlove> sam-_-_: what do you mean "all  3g"?
[19:44] <yop129> can someone say my name plz
[19:44] <UbuntuNewbie> Wyn: It is a clean install.
[19:44] <braidlove> yop129: why?
[19:44] <Wyn> kingOfBudz: NO DO NOT TURN IT ON
[19:44] <gobbe> UbuntuNewbie: just log in and try startx
[19:44] <sam-_-_> braidlove, do go to the internet via 3G?
[19:44] <yop129> braidlove, test, thanks it works :)
[19:44] <noonian> also, how do you get the behavior UbuntuNewbie is describing if i want it?
[19:44] <Wyn> kingOfBudz: TURN IT OFF dry it the fuck out then clean it off and dry it again
[19:45] <sam-_-_> braidlove, or DSL or cable?
[19:45] <braidlove> sam-_-_:  do you mean via a cellphone company. if so, yes
[19:45] <magicianlord> what's better : ubuntu 10.10 32bit or 64bit
[19:45] <braidlove> it's HSPA

[19:46] <yop129> can someone say my name, last time i promise
[19:46] <braidlove> sam-_-_: yeah , it doees so much.
[19:46] <Wyn> UbuntuNewbie: it may not be starting at the right run level, if it is a new clean install just re-install it, it would prob be quicker
[19:46] <nirazio> how to install intous 4 driver???
[19:46] <sam-_-_> braidlove, country?
[19:46] <UbuntuNewbie> Wyn Okay, I will try that, thanks
[19:46] <noonian> Guest50829, iTunes doesnt have a linux version so you are stuck either using a VM or running it through wine. If you havent tried alternatives though I would recommend banshee
[19:46] <Wyn> yop129: yop129 yop129
[19:46] <nicolaus> hey guys my cd drive wont accept burn cds can someone help me fix it
[19:47] <braidlove> sam-_-_: canada

[19:47] <Guest50829> Yeah, nothing works really. Oh well I can live without, thanks anyway!
[19:47] <Wyn> nicolaus: all or any particular kind ? prob your cd reader not Ubuntu
[19:47] <sam-_-_> braidlove, very nice apart from the internet :-)
[19:48] <bliss_> re my question about rc local should this line be with or without quotes" su vboxers -c "screen -dmS vboxwebsrv vboxwebsrv"
[19:48] <nicolaus> wyn: i tried it in other computers but it work
[19:48] <sam-_-_> nicolaus, somtimes it helps to clean the lens
[19:48] <durando> how can i run seperate resolutions under multi display without changing the desktop area?
[19:48] <PeterFabinski> how do i ssh
[19:48] <braidlove> sam-_-_: yes.
[19:48] <ay_> hey
[19:49] <GaryD> noonian: i believe to get the behavior UbuntuNewbie is having just remove gdm.
[19:49] <Jordan_U> !ssh | PeterFabinski
[19:49] <sam-_-_> braidlove, also cold this time of year
[19:49] <ay_> i use usb creator gtk software to create bootable os in usb
[19:49] <Wyn> nicolaus: the reader or the cd's ?
[19:49] <bliss_> ssh  yourusername"yourdomin.com
[19:49] <nicolaus> the reader
[19:49] <ay_> but i cant take no live file system found error
[19:49] <bliss_> @
[19:49] <ay_> what the hell
[19:49] <yop129> mongy, hey, figured out that i don't need libnotify-bin nor xchat-indicator, there's a setting in the prefrences to turn it on, so i don't even know what those two are for
[19:49] <nicolaus> i think its the region on the laptop
[19:49] <Wyn> ay_: UNETbottin rocks for usb's
[19:50] <ay_> i try to install mint
[19:50] <Wyn> nicolaus: no, not under Ubuntu
[19:50] <GaryD> ay_: unetbootin all the way. you can create almost any kind of linux live usb.
[19:50] <ay_> and i create with unetbootin
[19:50] <Jordan_U> !mint | ay_
[19:50] <ay_> i took this is not valid system disk
[19:50] <Wyn> GaryD: heck yeah, I have four installs on one USB, UNETBottin is great
[19:50] <ay_> please inset another disk error,
[19:50] <nicolaus> right now i am using windows 7 to test it
[19:51] <mongy> yop129, erm... I dont get notifications unless I use the indicator pkg
[19:51] <Wyn> ay_: your burning it wrong then I guess, just use a USB if you can, fast and fun
[19:51] <nicolaus> but it was working before but when i ran a system recovery it just stop work
[19:51] <durando> hey guys anyone good with multi display setups?
[19:51] <GaryD> Wyn: lol...yep...with the size of flash drives these days you can be amazed what you can use them for.
[19:51] <mongy> yop129, I think you are thinking of other methods of notification, Im more interested in the ubuntu notify system..
[19:51] <nicolaus> but original discs work fine but just the burn disc dont work
[19:52] <Wyn> nicolaus: you mean you have a dual boot and the cd's work in one system and not the other, you are putting the disks in another couputer or you have taken the cd-rom hardware out and are testing it under windows ?
[19:52] <yop129> mongy, try uninstalling the xchatindicator and in prefrences just turn on show tray balloons on highlighted message and private message, i did that and it worked
[19:52] <yop129> mongy, yeah the ubuntu one where u receive a message at top right, right?
[19:52] <bliss_>  rrc.local -with or without the quotes su vboxers -c "screen -dmS vboxwebsrv vboxwebsrv
[19:53] <mongy> yop129, yeah thats what I mean... I prefer to get notifications this way..
[19:53] <bliss_> su vboxers -c "screen -dmS vboxwebsrv vboxwebsrv"
[19:53] <SageX> anyone recommend a linux game programming book??
[19:53] <yop129> mongy, yeah that's how i'm getting it now without indicator, weird
[19:53] <mongy> yop129, but what about when you are on a different desktop
[19:53] <magicianlord> when will linux drivers for sound and graphics be equal to windows?
[19:54] <GaryD> is it possible to make an ubuntu system with a gui that is written completely in html/css/javascript? sort of a webuntu?
[19:54] <sam-_-_> SageX, which programming-language
[19:54] <nicolaus> no wyn: The pc is only windows 7 but it wont read burn cds only originals.
[19:54] <yop129> mongy, what do u mean different desktop, like workspace? i was on different workspace a second ago and got notification that u sent
[19:54] <mongy> magicianlord, when vendors become less proprietary :)
[19:54] <mongy> yop129, thru the notification system?
[19:54] <nicolaus> i want to install ubuntu but i have it on a burn cd that i have been using a long time which works fine but when i put it in the computer it dont work
[19:55] <yop129> mongy, yeah, the one that popups with black background
[19:55] <sam-_-_> nicolaus, try cleaning the lens of the cd drive or burn ubuntu again then try again
[19:55] <Wyn> nicolaus: im sorry, you cant read burned cd's on a windows installation or Ubuntu ? and it is your reader anyway i would think, not all cd reader hardware supports burned cd's of some types cd-+r example
[19:55] <SageX> sam-_-_,  C# / C++
[19:55] <mongy> yop129, well thats changed then.... I tried without ages ago
[19:55] <magicianlord> manbra: what is the vendors' major malfunction?
[19:55] <mongy> let me try it
[19:55] <Hydrogoo> Hey folks
[19:55] <bliss_> mongy: su vboxers -c "screen -dmS vboxwebsrv vboxwebsrv" with or without the quotes
[19:56] <mongy> yop oh wait, you use a tray icon?    I dont
[19:56] <farmer|mir> Is there a way to emulate Active Desktops in Ubuntu? IE, having a web page as the wallpaper?
[19:56] <mongy> last thing I want is extra stuff up there
[19:56] <Hydrogoo> I'm looking for some help with remote administration of Ubuntu, anyone able to help please?
[19:56] <Jordan_U> magicianlord: They refuse to provide specifications that would allow linux developers to write drivers.
[19:56] <Wyn> Hydrogoo: whats the problem ?
[19:56] <yop129> mongy, ok, yeah u'll see it works, because i installed the indicator and still didn't work, so i check the settings turned the feature on in alerts and it worked, so i'm like do i really need the indicator, i unistalled the indicator, restarted xchat and the notifications still work
[19:56] <sam-_-_> SageX, well i don't know of a book but depending on the game you may want to learn opengl?
[19:56] <nicolaus> wyn: i think so too because when i go in device manager i see that there is a region set on it and on this computer here when i check windows 7 is says no region selected but on the laptop with the problem it wont work
[19:57] <nicolaus> sam-_-_: I will try cleaning the drive also and see what happens
[19:57] <magicianlord> Jordan_U: should there be a law made that makes this required, for the sake of the free computing world?
[19:57] <SageX> sam-_-_,  yeah would you know where to start with OpenGl
[19:57] <Jordan_U> !ot | magicianlord
[19:57] <GaryD> yop129: you don't need the xchat-indicator for notifications. just if you want an icon in the panel.
[19:58] <sam-_-_> SageX, there are dozens of opengl tuts on the internet
[19:58] <yop129> GaryD, well that's odd because i don't have it yet i have the icon in the panel
[19:58] <SageX> thanks sam-_-_
[19:58] <Wyn> nicolaus: the reader on Windows and the reader on the laptop are not the same ones, if the reader on the laptop plats other cd's then it is not the lens,  try  sudo regionset and changing region and see if that helps
[19:58] <bx-gh> Can someone help me with this question?.... Why is it all linux, kernel, or linux kernel IRC channels sooo quiet
[19:59] <GaryD> yop129: hmmm
[19:59] <mongy> yop129, ok trying without.......
[19:59] <yop129> here
[19:59] <yop129> ill send u something
[19:59] <yop129> mongy,
[19:59] <expiation> is there a way to install wubi bigger than 30gb or to increase the size after?
[19:59] <bliss_> mongy: su vboxers -c "screen -dmS vboxwebsrv vboxwebsrv" with or without the quotes
[19:59] <sam-_-_> SageX, maybe libsdl.org might be interessting for you?
[19:59] <mongy> yop129, well I'll be......
[19:59] <yop129> mongy, worked right?
[19:59] <mongy> bliss_, I dont know, sorry.  try with and without, whatever works :)
[19:59] <GaryD> yop129: i see...the xchat-indicator allows xchat to integrate with the indicator-messages plugin
[20:00] <kirkous> i have problem in xubuntu with second dispay.. it does nothing :)
[20:00] <mongy> yeah
[20:00] <gizmobay> Is there a way to clear the bash shell command line quickly?
[20:00] <nicolaus> wyn: Ubuntu is not on the laptop i am trying to work on
[20:00] <yop129> GaryD, what's the indicator-messages plugin, like the top right notifications/
[20:00] <nicolaus> ok one more thing
[20:00] <SageX> sam-_-_,  got it their site is interesting
[20:00] <mongy> yop129, that explans why I was getting it even when I have xchat in focus.... it was using 2 notifications :)
[20:00] <nicolaus> how do i get ubuntu to run from a flash drive
[20:00] <itaylor57> gizmobay: ctrl U
[20:00] <nicolaus> ?
[20:01] <Wyn> nicolaus: UNETBootin
[20:01] <gizmobay> thanks
[20:01] <yop129> mongy, well, i fixed that problem for u without even intending to :P
[20:01] <GaryD> yop129: yep...the little envelope icon that allows you to control evolution, pidgin, gmailwatcher, and xchat...
[20:01] <Wyn> nicolaus: Windows 7 is not supported in this channel
[20:01] <yop129> GaryD, well see both mongy and i removed the indicator, but we still receive the notifications, so it's not that
[20:02] <Wyn> Hydrogoo: use putty http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty.exe
[20:02] <sam-_-_> SageX, game programming on linux is not that different from windows. (if you use opengl) so tutorials for windows will help as well
[20:02] <nicolaus> yeh i kno
[20:02] <nicolaus> i want ubuntu on that computer
[20:02] <GaryD> yop129: the notificatoions come from notify-osd....
[20:02] <nicolaus> but it wont boot froma flashdrive dont kno why
[20:02] <kirkous> i have problem in xubuntu with second dispay.. it does nothing :) does anybody have an idea where is the problem?
[20:02] <nicolaus> it keeps asking me to mount it
[20:02] <mongy> yop129, well must be new in 2.8.8, it didnt do it in 2.8.6
[20:02] <Wyn> nicolaus: check the BIOS, make sure it can boot from usb's
[20:02] <SageX> thanks for the heads up sam-_-_
[20:02] <GaryD> nicolaus: check in the bios settings
[20:03] <gizmobay> One other question. When you have multiple shell tabs open, they don't share history until you reboot. For example, I type pwd on one shell I can't use the errors keys on the other shell to get the previous typed command. Is there a command or key stroke to sync up the history so to speak?
[20:03] <nicolaus> yeh it do that
[20:03] <UbuntuLily> What is the easiest way to backup a partition (No compression needed)
[20:03] <yop129> GaryD, hmm, control it how exactly i have the icon in the envelope thing and when i click on it, it gives me a network list
[20:03] <Wyn> gizmobay: no
[20:03] <nicolaus> it boots but when i click install ubuntu
[20:03] <gizmobay> okay thanks
[20:03] <sam-_-_> SageX, glad i could help a little
[20:03] <nicolaus> it ask me to mount it to a cd drive
[20:03] <UbuntuLily> I have my /home on its own partition and want to back it up before I reinstall ubunutu
[20:03] <GaryD> nicolaus: does the flash drive have the boot flag? is it bootable?
[20:04] <Wyn> nicolaus: really ? how did you put Ubuntu on the usb ?
[20:04] <BBrooks_> can someone help me capture network traffic and after lets say 30 mins, to overwrite the dump?
[20:04] <GaryD> nicolaus: how did you create the ubuntu flash drive?
[20:04] <nicolaus> i use a software called ultraiso
[20:04] <nicolaus> it as never failed me before
[20:04] <BBrooks_> is there a utility for that?
[20:04] <kirkous> i have problem in xubuntu with second dispay.. it does nothing :) does anybody have an idea where is the problem?
[20:04] <nicolaus> i use it for other operating systems so i kno it works
[20:04] <ardian> Hi I have a dual boot computer I re-installed windows in it now I don't see the grub menu it just boots into windows how do I acess my Ubuntu box ?
[20:04] <Wyn> nicolaus: dont know that one
[20:04] <GaryD> Wyn: quit typing so fast...or maybe i'll wait to see if you answer...lol
[20:05] <Wyn> GaryD: hah :D
[20:05] <Wyn> GaryD: all yours mate;)
[20:05] <mongy> UbuntuLily, personally I`d rsync -av . /media/backupdevice/
[20:06] <sam-_-_> UbuntuLily, sth. like this tar -cvzf ~/backup.tar.gz ~/
[20:06] <SageX> sam-_-_,  your help is greatly appreciated
[20:06] <Kompviro> hello
[20:06] <facepollution> Heya
[20:06] <sam-_-_> UbuntuLily, mongy rsync is great too
[20:06] <magicianlord> hello
[20:06] <GaryD> nicolaus: you need to download unetbootin, and use it....i can almost guarantee it will work. i wouldn't recommend using anything else...try it.
[20:06] <Kompviro> how are you guys doing today?
[20:07] <saykou> does any one use veetle
[20:07] <Wyn> Hydrogoo: so whats up with shorewall ?
[20:07] <nicolaus> garyd i sure will
[20:07] <sam-_-_> saykou, no is it any good?
[20:07] <mongy> sam-_-_,  yeah, actually would use the --delete option as well, personally.
[20:07] <pinche2643> Question: Anybody know of any ubuntu tools to notice a machine going down?
[20:07] <Hydrogoo> I've installed it and using a guide that I've found, but it isn't giving me the corect area where shorewall should be installed
[20:07] <GaryD> nicolaus: cool....let us know when you're on ubuntu
[20:08] <facepollution> Quick question for those more elite than I. I uninstalled something I should not have using apt in Hardy, and it uninstalled a bunch of important stuff that depended on it, like gedit. Is there a way to tell apt to automatically install all default Hardy packages by any chance?
[20:08] <magicianlord> facepollution: install 10.10
[20:08] <ardian> Hi I have a dual boot computer I re-installed windows in it now I don't see the grub menu it just boots into windows how do I acess my Ubuntu box ?
[20:08] <GaryD> facepollution: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop
[20:08] <saykou> sam-_-_, its a prog that enables you to see live stream from a website fairly used
[20:08] <sam-_-_> pinche2643, ping ?
[20:08] <yop129> GaryD, would u happen to know if there is a difference between notif-osd and libnotify-bin?
[20:09] <Montreal1> hi
[20:09] <Wyn> Hydrogoo: you mean you can not find the config files ? also do not remote install it if you can help it
[20:09] <pinche2643> sam - what do u mean ping?
[20:09] <Wyn> pinche2643: tradtional IRC attention request, ping answer pong
[20:09] <mongy> yop129, 1 sends and 1 displays
[20:09] <sam-_-_> saykou, yes i noticed. is it any good?
[20:10] <trism> yop129: libnotify-bin contains programs for sending messages to a notification daemon, such as notify-send, notify-osd is a special notification daemon (there are others)
[20:10] <facepollution> GaryD: Exactly what I needed. You're a lifesaver.
[20:10] <pinche2643> pong
[20:10] <trism> yop129: special = specific
[20:10] <saykou> sam-_-_ yes
[20:10] <mongy> yop129,  hmm, I wonder what notify-osd-icons look like
[20:10] <Montreal1> i have problem with my "liveticker news" on 945GC intel card...liveticker is running jerky...any tip what to change in my xorg.conf file?
[20:11] <sam-_-_> pinche2643 ping the machine. if it doesn't respond anymore it's down
[20:11] <yop129> trism, so i guess empathy and others use notify-osd because i don't have libnotify-bin installed right?
[20:11] <Wyn> sam-_-_: hah, not ping - pong then ? thats funny
[20:11] <mongy> yop129, well its 'optional'   so you dont need it
[20:11] <Sean93> how do i use wget to download from megaupload?
[20:11] <sam-_-_> saykou ok i might try it someday
[20:12] <pinche2643> sam, thanks. but I am looking for something more sophisticated. no pong means machine is down. i want a tool that tells me "hard drive is failing" or "fan is failing" or "memory blocks corrupted"
[20:12] <yop129> mongy, hmm, but apparently programs can send out notifications on their own then, they don't need libnotify-bin right?
[20:12] <trism> yop129: none of them actually use notify-osd, they use libnotify to send a notification, and notify-osd receives it (although they may depend on notify-osd, but that would be more of an ubuntu thing)
[20:12] <mongy> yop129, wonder if the notify-osd-icons would show the icon as well in the notification......cool if so
[20:12] <Hydrogoo> I installed shorewall locally and when following the guide I found via google, I cannot seem to find the config files
[20:12] <GaryD> yop129: i believe the difference is that libnotify-bin is a library used by some programs to send messages to the notification area, while notify-osd is a complete notification framework for programs that have the capability to talk through it.
[20:12] <saykou> sam-_-_ theres a problem with it ... i can't install and it seams its because of im using x86_x64 ubuntu
[20:12] <GaryD> facepollutioin: no prob
[20:13] <aeon-ltd> Sean93: you can't iirc, and the hacking required is more time consuming than using a browser, unless you have a account with direct access to the files
[20:13] <expiation> is there a way to install wubi bigger than 30gb or to increase the size after?
[20:13] <xangua> expiation: try a real install
[20:13] <trism> yop129: libnotify-bin just contains a command line program, notify-send, that lets you use libnotify from the command line, such at typing: notify-send "Message Title" "This is my notification"
[20:13] <Wyn> Hydrogoo: prob in /etc
[20:14] <sam-_-_> saykou, what's the error?
[20:14] <GaryD> trism: cool....thanks for clarifying. that is good to know.
[20:14] <Hydrogoo> I'm using the following guide http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/php/how-to-setup-a-dedicated-web-server-for-free/
[20:14] <saykou> i install the script and it wont work sam-_-_
[20:14] <yop129> trism, ohh alright, so it's for user use and scripts not what programs use to interact, weird that they have it as one of the options to install for xchat
[20:14] <Hydrogoo> Part 6 is the shorewall install
[20:15] <expiation> xangua i just want to try it for awhile before replacing :\
[20:15] <Sean93> how do i use wget to download from megaupload?
[20:15] <magicianlord> trism: what should be installed, xfce4notify, or python-notify
[20:15] <aeon-ltd> Sean93: i already answered that
[20:15] <aeon-ltd> Sean93: you can't iirc, and the hacking required is more time consuming than using a browser, unless you have a account with direct access to the files
[20:15] <sam-_-_> pinche2643, nagios might be for you
[20:15] <mohamed> hello guys how's going i missed u all
[20:16] <Wyn> Hydrogoo: ls /etc/sho  and press the tab key
[20:16] <mohamed> guys i need a serious help
[20:16] <sam-_-_> saykou i need more info. what do you do? and what doesn't work then
[20:16] <GaryD> xchat recommends libnotify because it can use it to send notifications. i bet if you didn't have libnotify the notifications wouldn't work.
[20:16] <sima> n #windows-ru
[20:16] <mohamed> i've got a prob here
[20:16] <Hydrogoo> @Wyn Got Shorewall dir
[20:17] <magicianlord> GaryD: then libnotify should be installed instead of xfce4-notify?
[20:17] <mohamed> sima can u help me
[20:17] <sam-_-_> !ask | mohamed
[20:17] <magicianlord> or perhaps notification daemon?
[20:17] <Wyn> Hydrogoo: what files cant you find ?
[20:17] <mohamed> thanks sam
[20:17] <mohamed> ok sorry for that ubottu
[20:18] <facepollution> GaryD: Worked like a charm. I have everything back now. Thanks again.
[20:18] <Wyn> mohamed: ubottu is a channel bot
[20:18] <mohamed> it's my lap top it's hanging i don't know why
[20:18] <mohamed> i know
[20:18] <magicianlord> what's the difference betwen libnotify and notification-daemon? should both be installed
[20:18] <mohamed> just apologize for u all
[20:18] <Wyn> mohamed: so your just really polite ? cool
[20:18] <Hydrogoo> Wyn: This dir should have some files that are needed to be copied to the shorewall folder /usr/share/doc/shorewall-common/examples/one-interface/*
[20:18] <Hydrogoo> Can't find this folder tho
[20:19] <trism> magicianlord: libnotify is used to send notifications, notification-daemon receives messages sent by libnotify
[20:19] <Wyn> Hydrogoo: version of ubuntu you are using please ?
[20:19] <mohamed> so how i can check my system on ubuntu10.10
[20:19] <saykou> sam-_-_, i tried to install the script the automaticly give you, and with all the permissions, and i load firefox again with that page and it says that i have to download again. im guessing and because im using x64 ... it dosent work for x64
[20:19] <magicianlord> trism: are both needed
[20:19] <Hydrogoo> 10.10 server
[20:19] <nirazio> I would like to purchase more memory for one of my computers. Is there a utility that will tell me what type of memory is installed in the machine?
[20:20] <trism> magicianlord: but we use notify-osd to receive notifications by default, so you probably don't need notification-daemon unless you want to try a different one
[20:20] <mohamed> sam u still there
[20:20] <greezmunkey> Sean93: I don't know if it will work, but wget supports ftp downloading. It also supports continuing a download that gets cut off. It uses this form from the manpage: wget -c ftp://sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk/ls-lR.Z You'll have to tailor that to suit your needs (no pun intended)
[20:20] <sam-_-_> saykou go to about:plugins in you browser
[20:20] <itaylor57> nirazio: lshw
[20:20] <sam-_-_> saykou is veetle listed there=
[20:21] <GaryD> magicianlord: you should not need xfce4-notifyd unless you are on xubuntu. i am running lubuntu and all i have installed is notification-daemon. on ubuntu i would install notify-osd and there is a ppa with a program to customize notify-osd.
[20:21] <mohamed> any programmer here can help me ?
[20:21] <magicianlord> GaryD: do i need libnotify if i have notif-daemon installed
[20:21] <saykou> sam-_-_ nope
[20:22] <mohamed> is there any programmer here ?
[20:22] <GaryD> magicianlord: you will need libnotify for xchat to send on screen messages, yes.
[20:23] <mohamed> looks like there's no one
[20:23] <Wyn> Hydrogoo: cant find them on the file list, try ls /usr/share/doc/shorewall then tab and see if you can locate it then check the shorewall folders for the example folder or grep inside it
[20:23] <magicianlord> GaryD: what if i dont use xchat. what else uses libnotify
[20:23] <Wyn> mohamed: hanging how ?
[20:23] <mohamed> no more
[20:23] <mohamed> thanks
[20:23] <sam-_-_> saykou, do you use firefox?
[20:23] <mongy> GaryD,  it needed xchat-indicator in earlier versions of xchat (well for me anyway)...  just in case anyone is using older version
[20:24] <saykou> sam-_-_ yes
[20:24] <kirkmoreno> Can anyone recommend a free online storage website
[20:24] <mongy> U1
[20:25] <greezmunkey> magicianlord: I made that work with irssi, I found a script on the net to get started, and made it work for me. That os load is history now though, but it is possible.
[20:25] <mohamed> how can i changemy name in xchat ?
[20:25] <Hydrogoo> Wyn: Found the directories I need, they have changed since the release of that tutorial
[20:25] <Hydrogoo> Thanks for the help
[20:25] <Wyn> kirkmoreno ubuntu 1
[20:25] <Wyn> Hydrogoo: np
[20:25] <Bboy> thanks
[20:25] <sam-_-_> saykou, you may need to install the 32-bit version of firefox if veetle is a 32-bit plugin
[20:26] <saykou> sam-_-_ how does one do that'
[20:26] <saykou> ?
[20:26] <Agent090> what kind of linux is the best ever ?
[20:26] <magicianlord> greezmunkey: i just want plug in and out plugging usb notifications and battery
[20:26] <magicianlord> in openbox
[20:26] <Wyn> Agent090: is that a trick qeustion ?
[20:26] <Agent090> u know ?
[20:26] <Friar> I was looking at installing the amazon mp3 downloader. they have a .deb for ubuntu 9.04 and it is 32 bit. is there a way I can at least try to install it on 64 bit and 10.10?
[20:26] <GaryD> magicianlord: things like the vlc-plugin-notify, osmo, evolution, empathy, nautilus, rhythmbox, gnome-mplayer, as wewll as many other programs and libraries.
[20:26] <Wyn> Agent090: do you know what channel your in mohamed ?
[20:27] <Agent090> no
[20:27] <Gnimsh> Hey #ubuntu
[20:27] <Friar> when I try to install it I get an error saying it is 32 bit and it won't go any farther in the install process.
[20:27] <Wyn> Agent090: #Ubuntu
[20:27]  * Wyn facepalm to the troll
[20:27] <greezmunkey> magicianlord: I don't know about openbox, sorry.
[20:27] <Agent090> channerl means ....?
[20:27] <Gnimsh> I have a strange video issue with ubuntu 10.10 where the screen is...jumpy or staticky, I guess, upon startup
[20:27] <GaryD> magicianlord: what file manager are you using?
[20:27]  * Wyn note to self, dont feed the troll
[20:28] <GaryD> magicianlord: also, i assume you aren't running straight ubuntu?
[20:28] <ZykoticK9> Friar, try "sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture PACKAGE.DEB" to install 32bit on 64bit OS
[20:28] <ZykoticK9> Friar, be sure you have ia32libs install as well
[20:29] <Friar> ZykoticK9, will that automatically look for the .deb in my file system? or do I need to put the .deb somewhere in particular for this to work?
[20:29] <ZykoticK9> Friar, you need to be in the same directory OR give the full path to the DEB
[20:29] <sam-_-_> saykou, like ZykoticK9 says
[20:30] <sam-_-_> saykou "sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture PACKAGE.DEB"
[20:30] <saykou> sam-_-_ will try
[20:30] <sam-_-_> saykou http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/firefox/

[20:36] <GaryD> weren't you asking about libnotify?
[20:36] <Friar> ZykoticK9, when I try that I get all kinds of error messages about missing backages.
[20:36] <sam-_-_> Wyn lol egypt. bc. his name was mohamed?
[20:36] <GaryD> magicianlord: weren't you asking about libnotify? or did you get it figured out?
[20:36] <Wyn> sam-_-_: na, I NMaped his ass
[20:36] <sam-_-_> Wyn ah
[20:37] <magicianlord> GaryD: do i need both
[20:37] <ZykoticK9> Friar, the real issue is those are probably 32bit libs that it's looking for!  on ubuntu forum search for getlibs and download the script to install 32bit libraries - best of luck man.
[20:38] <Friar> ZykoticK9, thanks for the help. I appreciate it.
[20:38] <Friar> could I use a .deb for a newer version of debian?
[20:38] <GaryD> magicianlord: at the least you will need notification-daemon and libnotify
[20:39] <magicianlord> ok
[20:39] <magicianlord> i have notif dem without libnot, and usb and power worked. but now, maybe they will work better

[20:44] <sam-_-_> st0rmBlast yes
[20:44] <stOrmBlast> really ?
[20:44] <sam-_-_> try sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose
[20:45] <stOrmBlast> thats awsome :D
[20:45] <Wyn> stOrmBlast: both from package manager and from people who make it, recomend using people who make it as it has usb support
[20:45] <saykou> sam-_-_ it gives some erros can you help?
[20:45] <sam-_-_> saykou dependency errors?
[20:46] <stOrmBlast> sam-_-_ : and if i want to run windows its posible 2 ?
[20:46] <sam-_-_> st0rmBlast yes
[20:47] <sam-_-_> stOrmBlast yes
[20:47] <saykou> sam-_-_ yes
[20:47] <KM0201> does Vbox-ose support USB now?  i know it didn't used to, thats why i always used the "non-free" one from the vbox repository
[20:47] <sam-_-_> saykou you will need to install all of them first
[20:48] <saykou> what all of them like download all ?
[20:48] <stOrmBlast> ok sam-_-_ : its installing now
[20:48] <saykou> but i think i was the correct package sam-_-_
[20:48] <Wyn> KM0201: i use the non free direct repo as well for that reason
[20:49] <KM0201> Wyn: i was just wondering if that changed in Vbox-OSE... doesn't sound like it
[20:49] <sam-_-_> saykou all the packages firefox 32bit depends on
[20:49] <KM0201> i don't mind licensing agreements.
[20:49] <saykou> ok sam-_-_
[20:49] <gumdrop> ok i am working on getting my iSight to work on my macbook 3.1  I have my machine set up as single-boot for ubuntu.  I just downloaded the isight firmware tools package online.  What should i do now?
[20:50] <stOrmBlast> sam-_-_ : did i neet another thing to install windows in virtualbox ?
[20:50] <Wyn> KM0201: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads  it supports USB
[20:50] <KM0201> stOrmBlast: a windows cd
[20:50] <Wyn> KM0201: lol
[20:50] <stOrmBlast> pmsl
[20:51] <KM0201> Wyn: i know that oes... i'm talking about OSE edition.
[20:51] <KM0201> i have the "Non-Free" edition, it works great w/ USB
[20:51] <stOrmBlast> pls take a look : * No suitable module for running kernel found [fail] -----> its that normally?
[20:51] <Wyn> KM0201: na, only vb /sun direct rocks de usb
[20:52] <Wyn> KM0201: bit of a fail really
[20:52] <KM0201> yeah
[20:52] <sam-_-_> Wyn, you mean oracle ;-(
[20:52] <stOrmBlast> its normal ?
[20:52] <Wyn> sam-_-_: :D indeed
[20:52] <sam-_-_> did install virtualbox-ose-dkms
[20:52] <sam-_-_> stOrmBlast, did install virtualbox-ose-dkms
[20:53] <KM0201> what does dkms stand for?
[20:53] <stOrmBlast> nope !
[20:53] <KM0201> stOrmBlast: why don't you just add the repository from virtualbox.org and install the non-free version?
[20:53] <sam-_-_> stOrmBlast, then install it as well sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-dkms
[20:53] <stOrmBlast> sam i do this: sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose
[20:53] <Wyn> KM0201: kernel modules
[20:53] <Pici> !dkms | KM0201
[20:53] <KM0201> oh ok.
[20:53] <saykou> sam-_-_ i may seeam a noobie, or something but how do i know from all that list witch ones are and are not
[20:54] <sam-_-_> saykou, don't be afraid to ask. asking is learning. learning is good :-)
[20:54] <sam-_-_> saykou, what list?
[20:54] <gumdrop>  ok i am working on getting my iSight to work on my macbook 3.1  I have my machine set up as single-boot for ubuntu.  I just downloaded the isight firmware tools package online.  What should i do now?
[20:54] <stOrmBlast> KM0201 : i dont know how to do this
[20:54] <Wyn> KM0201: he needs to install vb first
[20:55] <saykou> sam-_- http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/firefox/
[20:55] <saykou> sam-_-_ http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/firefox/
[20:55] <CroxPuma> hi everyone
[20:55] <KM0201> stOrmBlast: just stay w/ sam.. i'm not gonna confuse you by telling you to do other stuff, but the instructions to do this, are right on their website
[20:55] <sam-_-_> stOrmBlast KM201 might be right. may be better to use the none free version
[20:55] <Wyn> gumdrop: V4L2 ?
[20:55] <Wyn> sam-_-_: USB is rather useful
[20:56] <KM0201> lol.. kind of
[20:56] <gumdrop> I think so
[20:56] <stOrmBlast> sam-_-_ : and how i do that ?
[20:56] <KM0201> stOrmBlast: go to virtualbox.org
[20:56] <izinucs> sam-_-_: stOrmBlast might also need build-essential for the install of the pul version of vbox to do the kernel mod correctly (along with dkms)
[20:56] <sima> .ощшт #debian-russian
[20:56] <KM0201> why does he need the kernel mod?
[20:57] <izinucs> KM0201: I thought vbox pul version has a kernel mod for the non-free stuff that it contains.
[20:57] <sam-_-_> stOrmBlast: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
[20:57] <Wyn> KM0201: vb needs some kernel mods for virtulization, should come with install, not sure why he tried to install them sepratly
[20:58] <KM0201> Wyn: i see... is this only required on the OSE install? cuz i didn't do that, i just installed it, and i run XP as a guest just fine
[20:58] <Wyn> KM0201: chances are it put them in for you
[20:58] <KM0201> Wyn: i guess... i just followed the instructions on virtualbox.org
[20:58] <Wyn> KM0201: should not need to install them separately
[20:58] <Wyn> KM0201:  same here
[20:59] <stOrmBlast> sam-_-_ : did i need to remove vb, to instal the new one ?
[20:59] <KM0201> Wyn: i dunno, i guess not.. all i know is it gives me an easy way to sync my zune w/o needing to dual boot.
[20:59] <sam-_-_> saykou 	firefox_3.6.13+build3+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.10.10.1_i386.deb
[20:59] <Wyn> KM0201: whats a ZUne ?
[20:59] <KM0201> Microsofts version of an Ipod.
[20:59] <sam-_-_> saykou, http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/firefox
[20:59] <sam-_-_> saykou, here you can find the dependencies
[21:00] <sam-_-_> stOrmBlast, no but you can. you don't need it anymore
[21:00] <civilordergone> hey does anyone know why when i load jnlp files it pops up a black screen
[21:00] <saykou> sam-_-_ thanks a bunch
[21:00] <gumdrop> sorry i PMed you Wyn.  I wasnt trying to be rude
[21:01] <Wyn> gumdrop: no problem http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=225621
[21:01] <gumdrop> it's confusing to discuss issues with how busy the main chat room is
[21:01] <stOrmBlast> sam-_-_ : ok tkx for helping , and other guys 2 =]
[21:01] <Wyn> gumdrop: old but prob still valid
[21:01] <Wyn> gumdrop: understood, this way people can chip in with advice
[21:01] <nirazio> I'm looking for a way to reboot into Windows from Ubuntu on a 10.10/Vista dual boot system. The specific use case is that I would like to be able to ssh into my running Ubuntu instance and issue a command that will initiate a reboot directly into Windows.
[21:02] <izinucs> gumdrop: y0ou have to use nicks at the beginning of each post for who you're talking to so the line will highlight on the receiving end.. if they don't use your nick then ask them too.. and you'll see the highlight and know they are talking to you directly
[21:03] <Wyn> nirazio: edit your grub.conf file so windows is at the top of the boot list
[21:03] <aeon-ltd> nirazio: heh, i don't think thats directly possible, but how about this - a script that will rewrite grubs boot order to reverse ubuntu and windows (or just swap between 2 configs) then a reboot should just choose windows
[21:03] <sam-_-_> saykou, this might be interessting for you http://www.unixtutorial.org/2008/03/install-32-bit-deb-packages-on-64-bit/
[21:04] <izinucs> nirazio: if you copy the windows grub boot line to the top of the list in the grub menu then on each boot windows will be the default load.. if you're in ubuntu and ssh into it then.. sudo reboot now .. should reboot the machine into the first item in the grub list.
[21:04] <mohamed> how i can change the chatroom
[21:05] <izinucs> mohamed: if you want to join a different room then.. /join #<room name>
[21:05] <frxstrem> is there a program that could go through each line in a file and count how many times that line occours, and then print the results?
[21:05] <mohamed> where i write this stat
[21:05] <izinucs> mohamed: where you normally type to post here.. :)
[21:05] <aeon-ltd> mohamed: to change channels depends on your irc client
[21:05] <mohamed> copy that
[21:05] <mohamed> what's the icr
[21:06] <izinucs> you're in IRC "Internet Relay Chat"
[21:06] <saykou> sam-_-_ interesting enough lol
[21:06] <sam-_-_> mohamed write /join #chatroom

[21:07] <Wyn> izinucs: good point, on XChat they are, on others not
[21:07] <expiation> so i guess it isn't possible to install wubi bigger than 30gb?
[21:08] <rocket16> I don't see the encryption option in nautilus right-click menu in maverick. :( How to get it back?
[21:08] <izinucs> Wyn: been a while since I used XChat.. I'm ssh'd into my server which runs screen and irssi

[21:09] <expiation> aeon-ltd i just want to try it but wow alone is 28 gigz
[21:09] <sam-_-_> igors, i think you need to hold down shift when powering up.
[21:09] <Wyn> izinucs: yeah, I only use it on my Laptop gui
[21:09] <frxstrem> itaylor57: no, I meant like it would go through every single line (not only a subset of lines) and count how many times that line occoured
[21:09] <sam-_-_> igors, then select boot device
[21:09] <rocket16> igors: Download UNetbootin and use the image to make an installer (live image) of ubuntu in your usb.
[21:09] <aeon-ltd> expiation: wow = world of warcraft? seriously?
[21:09] <frxstrem> ...and then print a list of all the lines and how many times it occoured
[21:09] <igors> sam-_-_: hum, didn't try shift yet..

[21:10] <itaylor57> frxstrem: I have no idea what you are trying to do sorry
[21:10] <igors> rocket16: i followed the instructions from ubuntu download page on how to create the image for usb
[21:10] <sam-_-_> saykou, trust me. i don't
[21:10] <Wyn> izinucs: hah, I havd sevral clients but I kinda like XChat, if it aint broke dont fix it ;)
[21:10] <mongy> aint nothing wrong with xchat.
[21:11] <saykou> sam-_-_ you don't? compared with who?
[21:11] <frxstrem> itaylor57: well, I have a file with about 190 000 lines, and I want to find out which lines are most commonly occouring
[21:11] <izinucs> Wyn: yep.. I run kde on the desktop and gnome on the lappies.. so I'm always switching around.. as long as I can see what's going on and respond I'm good :)
[21:11] <r00t4rd3d> xchat ftw
[21:11] <Wyn> heck yeah
[21:12] <Wyn> izinucs: I tried KDE a while back, the desktop layout with no actaul desktop and in/out focus folders anoys me
[21:12] <sam-_-_> saykou, compared with other geeks like me
[21:13] <mohamed> gimme a hand
[21:13] <itaylor57> frxstrem: I could do that is perl, but I am not aware of a script/app that would do that standalone

[21:18] <sayres> mongy:yes
[21:19] <mongy> sayres, remove the gnome-panel package then maybe..  thats my first guess.
[21:19] <Tobbi|Ubuntu> Hey. I'm connected to my university's VPN via Ubuntu. Now, I'd like to know how to access the VPN's shared folders?
[21:19] <Wyn> sayres: just right-click then delte this panel
[21:20] <mongy> you cant delete the only panel left.
[21:21] <industry__> network rejoined?
[21:21] <Wyn> try clicking on network, open a floder and click on it it should show up uni net
[21:21] <KM0201> !netsplit
[21:21] <sam-_-_> saykou, i just installed veetle myself. audio and video are not in sync
[21:21] <Wyn> industry__: ya think ?
[21:21] <jabbadaza> i need help. just installed 10.10 for notebooks.  now i need to make a nat script to run on it. but im having problems running a script i found. http://tldp.org/HOWTO/IP-Masquerade-HOWTO/firewall-examples.html . ihave modified it a little bit,but each time i try to run it.it spams me with : not found. ido try to run the script with sudo. the script is also chmoded to 755. so why am i havinig problems running the script ??
[21:21] <saykou> sam-_-_ that maybe a prob of the channel
[21:21] <saykou> sam-_-_ try change to another
[21:21] <hansw> dear all, could anyone tell me about the chances of running a terratec cinergy t stick out of the box on 10.10?
[21:21] <sam-_-_> saykou, tried 2. will try another one
[21:21] <nyu> soo, anyone want to help with my grub issue?
[21:21] <sayres> mongy: Aside from this not another way?:-X
[21:22] <rocket16> Hey guys, nautilus's right-menu encrypt menu doesn't appear, even though I have seahorse and gnupg installed. Any help?
[21:22] <Wyn> hansw: http://kuparinen.org/martti/comp/ubuntu/en/terratec.html
[21:22] <sam-_-_> saykou, no didn't help
[21:23] <saykou> sam-_-_ it works good in windows
[21:23] <hansw> Wyn, thanx, will take a look
[21:23] <Wyn> nyu: what issue ?
[21:23] <Wyn> hansw: no prob but also no offical support
[21:23] <hansw> Wyn, no problem, used to compile my own kernels
[21:23] <ryno1> Does anyone know how to allow media sharing on Ubuntu?
[21:23] <Wyn> hansw: cool
[21:24] <nyu> wyn: grub is fraked, just boots up to a screen saying the drive isnt found and a grub rescue prompt
[21:24] <Wyn> ryno1: setup smb to the media folder ?
[21:24] <hansw> Wyn, mostly nasty :-) I wanted usb support years back, ac patches provided them
[21:24] <mongy> sayres, not that I know of.......if you dont want panels, then it would be logical to just remove the package
[21:24] <Wyn> hansw: hah, the bad old days
[21:24] <Wyn> mongy: that would be not good :D
[21:25] <nyu> wyn: i tried reinstalling ubuntu and running rescatux, no dice
[21:25] <mongy> Wyn, why?  he doesnt want panels.  it doesnt remove anything critical
[21:25] <Wyn> nyu: when you boot to grub boot screen try editing the boot line and adjusting the drive, it could be it is not mounting, its not connected / hardware problem or it has the wrong path / name
[21:26] <mongy> sayres,  try just setting it to autohide if you dont want to remove it
[21:26] <Wyn> nyu: if you have a live disk use that to chck the correct grub config
[21:26] <ryno1> Wyn: Will this work with PS3?
[21:26] <sayres>  mongy:  tanks
[21:26] <Wyn> ryno1: will what work with what ?
[21:27] <jabbadaza> why cant i run a script having iptables in it ?IPT=/sbin/iptables says command not found. altho the location is correct. the script is 755 and run with sudo.
[21:27] <nyu> wyn: i can boot the drive with super grub disk. im not sure what i need to change in the grub config or how to do so
[21:27] <Wyn> mongy: the panels are useful, they also run the network manager icon, if he has a gui he will realise just how much he needs them if not then yes, remove them and x
[21:28] <Wyn> nyu: if you have a live disk, when you boot into it you can then check the drive path and name by cat'ing fstab
[21:28] <ryno1> Wyn: I want to access my computer's media through my PS3
[21:28] <mongy> Wyn, he/she does not want any panels... go figure.

[21:29] <Wyn> mongy: each to there own I guess
[21:29] <mongy> Wyn, in linux that happens a lot :)
[21:30] <sam-_-_> saykou, seems like a known problem. but there is an easy fix in the forums
[21:30] <Wyn> mongy: yeah, then a few days later how do I re-install etc
[21:30] <saykou> sam-_-_ you already found a fix for that
[21:31] <sam-_-_> saykou, http://forums.veetle.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=688

[21:33] <mongy> Gnimsh, first question... tried disabling compiz?
[21:33] <Gnimsh> mongy, I have not
[21:33] <Gnimsh> It does however dissipate after 5 minutes and then stops completely
[21:33] <sam-_-_> Gnimsh, might be an issue with the cable
[21:33] <xangua> N2Deep: right clic>remove¿¿
[21:33] <Gnimsh> It also happens randomly
[21:34] <Gnimsh> no cable, it's a laptop
[21:34] <mongy> Gnimsh,  what video chip
[21:34] <Gnimsh> It doesn't happen every time i start the laptop
[21:34] <Gnimsh> ati mobile radion
[21:34] <N2Deep> xangua: thank you
[21:34] <sam-_-_> Gnimsh, y. sure. the internal cable then
[21:34] <Wyn> JCode: system , preferences , appearance - try changing it
[21:34] <mongy> Gnimsh, tried windows to make sure?
[21:34] <Wyn> no cable its a laptop, wonderful
[21:35] <mongy> there is a cable attaching the board to the lcd panel :)
[21:35] <txdv> bla
[21:35] <CkhiKuzad> Is there an alternative to the default Ubuntu screen locking program? Or any way to add things to it to add security, like a mouse gesture type thing?
[21:35] <Gnimsh> mongy yes it doesn't seem to happen in windows, though I've run it only twice in the last month
[21:36] <JCode> Wyn,  i recently changed my monitor into 32inch i used to have 17inchs would that matter might it be X problem, and if yes i tried to change the resolution and i cant set it higher than 800x600
[21:36] <mongy> Gnimsh, well you need to determine if its hardware or linux.... so run windows for a while.
[21:36] <Gnimsh> I dislike that option.
[21:36] <Gnimsh> I think I'll start with compiz
[21:36] <Wyn> CkhiKuzad: I use bluelock, locks my screen when i walk more then two meteres away
[21:36] <mongy> Gnimsh, tbh, I had a similar issue with my screen...it went 'weird' after being powered on for more than 30mins or so....it was hardware issue
[21:36] <nirazio> Is there any application like bootcamp for ubuntu.So that we can easily boot into windows...
[21:36] <jabbadaza> i need some help. im trying to set up my lappy as a router/firewall for another pc. im trying to run iptable script to do the Nating. but i cant get the script to run. any ideas? script and output. http://pastebin.ca/2023880
[21:37] <sam-_-_> Gnimsh, nice lawnmower action btw
[21:37] <Gnimsh> Mine happes upon bootup after being off all night
[21:37] <mongy> nirazio, wubi
[21:37] <Wyn> JCode: theres your problem then, check your drivers
[21:37] <CkhiKuzad> Wyn, my computer can't use Bluetooth, My phone cant either ._.
[21:37] <Gnimsh> ya i need a new fan too...
[21:37] <mongy> nirazio, and ubuntu boots windows and itself fine.
[21:37] <Gnimsh> CkhiKuzad, what's older the phone or the computer?
[21:37] <Wyn> JCode: first sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[21:37] <CkhiKuzad> Computer, Gnimsh
[21:37] <chris_> Hello!
[21:37] <Wyn> CkhiKuzad: k
[21:38] <chris_> Hello fellow IRCers
[21:38] <CkhiKuzad> Hello chris_
[21:38] <pinkisntwell> what difference does it make if i change a computer's subnet mask?
[21:38] <chris_> Hello CkhiKuzad
[21:38]  * jabbadaza feels hes beeing ignored :/
[21:38] <izinucs> Gnimsh: looks kinda like the wrong refresh rate. are you running nvidia?
[21:38] <Wyn> pinkisntwell: a lot
[21:39] <JeopardySholdenK> Hi chris_
[21:39] <chris_> Has anybody ever heard of JoliCloud
[21:39] <Wyn> CkhiKuzad: what dont you like about the default lock screen / system ?
[21:39] <JCode> Wyn,  nothing happened after the reconfiguring shell i do it in console mode, cause im already using Gnome
[21:39] <xangua> !ot | chris_
[21:39] <chris_> JeopardySholdenK hello
[21:39] <pinkisntwell> Wyn: can you help me understand it? i've been reading on networking. i understood how a subnet mask is used in routing, however i can't understand what difference it makes for a single computer connected to a network
[21:39] <Wyn> JCode: no, you should do it from a terminal, as root, youmean nothing at all happens ?
[21:39] <industry__> pinkisntwell: it modifies the way your computer routes your packets
[21:39] <Gnimsh> no izinucs, ati
[21:40] <Gnimsh> ati x1600 actually
[21:40] <peppis_> Hur lämnar man server här?
[21:40] <izinucs> Gnimsh: if you type xrandr in a terminal you
[21:40] <Gnimsh> supposed to have better opensource support
[21:40] <viator> what channel should i got to ask questions abt unity
[21:40] <CkhiKuzad> Wyn, it's just a bit to simple. I'm trying to make my system as secure as possible, and if someone finds out my password, then they get every file i have. I want to find a way to make it need a mouse gesture,also
[21:40] <pinkisntwell> industry__: so if my computer has an address of 192.168.1.2 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, what does this mean?
[21:40] <izinucs> Gnimsh: you'll see what the card is currently set at
[21:40] <KB1JWQ> !se | peppis_
[21:41] <JCode> Wyn, nope i go to next line after i type that , i installed it from the 10.4 and did apt-get upgrade works fine as workout machine but the movie playing is horrible
[21:41] <Wyn> pinkisntwell: its a subdivsion of the network, depending on IP address, not the right channel, also google (no offense) really is your friend here, loooots of info for you
[21:42] <Gnimsh> izinucs, if it were a refresh rate issue wouldn't it always do that, instead of stopping after a few minutes?
[21:42] <viator> "google is your friend" = the RTFM
[21:42] <Wyn> JCode: if you can not adjust your screen size your x-config is wrong, if you dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and get no print out then x is broken
[21:42] <pinkisntwell> Wyn: yes i found all the info about routing, but i don't know what difference it makes on the computer level
[21:42] <Wyn> viator: not in this case, there are lots of info and training sites on it, to large a subject for quick IRC chat
[21:42] <Gnimsh> i don't know how to tell which one is the refresh rate
[21:42] <industry__> pinkisntwell: I'm not an expert on routing, but as I understand it, the network mask divides a network into a subnetwork
[21:42] <guntbert> pinkisntwell: your question will me more on topic in ##networking
[21:42] <JCode> Wyn, so you think i have to remove and install again  the xorg, or install the whole system all over
[21:44] <viator> ;)
[21:44] <izinucs> Gnimsh: k. ati isn't my preferred card choice.. I really don't know much about how to configure it.. xrandr handles the configuration for resolution and refresh rate.. if the refresh is close but not correct the card might be trying to compensate.. if it's a separate card and not built into the motherboard then it might be worth the effort to pull it out and put it back to reseat it.. just shooting in the dark here.
[21:44] <nirazio> I am trying to switch into Unicode entry mode using Ctrl + Shift + U, but after I hit this combination nothing happens. I also tried Ctrl + U, Ctrl + Alt + U. Do I need to enable this mode anywhere?I use default USA layout.
[21:44] <Wyn> JCode: na, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution also try changing your refresh rate system -prefrences - monitors
[21:45] <Gnimsh> set to 60 MHz

[21:46] <Bazz> hey everyone. i am tryin to learn password hacking. trying to test my system security. I have full authority to try to get into my system, using my laptop from an outside network.what do i do?
[21:46] <Wyn> CkhiKuzad: oh, no idea on that, however have you thought about encrypting your files and kepping the key on a usb ?
[21:47] <Wyn> Bazz: you use google
[21:47] <Wyn> Bazz: and backtrack
[21:47] <izinucs> Bazz: you want someone here to walk you through hacking a machine? good luck.. google
[21:47] <guntbert> bazhang_: thats off topic here
[21:47] <greezmunkey> oops
[21:48] <velocirachael> ive been trying to get bittorrent to work, but i keeps telling me "problem connecting to tracker"
[21:48] <Wyn> velocirachael: use Deluge
[21:48] <Bazz> well, i dont no what to do, i got a book on testing my systems security, but its not making sense
[21:49] <JCode> Wyn, i have nothing in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[21:49] <JeopardySholdenK> Bazz : I am glad that it doesn't. ;) No fence.
[21:49] <guntbert> Bazz: there is a channel ##security ...
[21:49] <Bazz> lol, none taken, im about as new to linux as possible
[21:49] <Wyn> Bazz: Nothing to do with you being a gamer ?
[21:50] <Bazz> i play WoW
[21:50] <JeopardySholdenK> Bazz Linux is secure by default
[21:50] <Bazz> alot...
[21:50] <Wyn> Bazz: and the bass

[21:52] <mongy> guntbert, bazz isnt bazhang... lol.
[21:52] <geeknik> Good afternoon. I have Ubuntu 11.04 Alpha 1 (server) installed on a machine, and on every login, I see *** /dev/sda5 will be checked for errors at next reboot ***. I've done the touch /forcefsck and I've tried shutdown -rF now, but the message never goes away. Any ideas?
[21:53] <mongy> guntbert, how goes it (duffy from vbox chan)
[21:53] <velocirachael> i downloaded deluge, but when i try to "open with", only bitorrent is an option
[21:53] <greezmunkey> geeknik: is /forcefsck still there?
[21:53] <geeknik> greezmunkey: Nope.
[21:53] <Jragon> Hello. I need some help installing the drivers for the Epson Styles NX200
[21:54] <Jragon> I have never installed any drivers befor,
[21:54] <greezmunkey> geeknik: check your logs then
[21:55] <Jragon> Hello?
[21:55] <Wyn> Jragon: you tried just pluging it in ?
[21:55] <Jragon> T?hat didnt work.
[21:56] <geeknik> greezmunkey: i grep'd dmesg and messages for fsck and nothing came up. however, in boot.log I did see this: /dev/sda5: clean, 245/124496 files, 83515/248976 blocks
[21:56] <geeknik> doesn't explain why the message is still there on login though. =)
[21:57] <geeknik> i wonder if this is a reportable bug. guess i'll search launchpad.
[21:57] <Wyn> Jragon: system - administration - printing
[21:58] <greezmunkey> geeknik: you are on the bleeding edge, expect blood
[21:58] <geeknik> greezmunkey: oh, i know. i just wanted to make sure fsck was actually doing it's job. thanks. =)
[21:59] <Jragon>  Than what? The printer shows up but it doesnt print.
[21:59] <geeknik> I also found this: fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2 /dev/mapper/sh*tbox1-root: clean, 103845/4669440 files, 1179707/18669568 blocks
[21:59] <greezmunkey> geeknik: good luck, at least you can help sort it via launchpad
[21:59] <geeknik> so it checked everything it should have.
[21:59] <meway> Um hello. I had this error. so I followed instructions. ICEauthority or something like that. Now my permissions are messed up. When I click places and home folder it gives me an error about nautilius could not create the following required folders /home/meway/Desktop,/home/meway/.nautilus.
[21:59] <Jragon> lol
[21:59] <Jragon> I take that back, Its works fine now.
[22:00]  * meway crys
[22:00] <Wyn> Jragon: cool
[22:00] <meway> Also now I have to type sudo in for everything
[22:00] <Jragon> Thanks for the Wyn anyway.
[22:00] <meway> including ls
[22:00] <meway> wtf :{
[22:01] <Wyn> meway:  live disk or another user and ls -la it, better live disk, ls -la then change the perms
[22:01] <meway> wyn? I am on a full instalation
[22:01] <Wyn> meway: try sudo su first then see if you can ls -la as root
[22:01] <meway> I am on my normal user
[22:01] <Wyn> meway: you have root yes ?
[22:01] <geeknik> i hate to say this, but bugzilla is better than launchpad. i'm lost when it comes to launchpad. lol.
[22:01] <Wyn> meway: open a terminal, type sudo su
[22:01] <meway> yes
[22:02] <meway> wyn ok done
[22:02] <Wyn> meway: then type ls -la
[22:02] <meway> but thats not the issue
[22:02] <meway> -la command not found
[22:02] <Wyn> meway: the issue is your perms, ls -la will tell you what belongs to what then you can change it back to you as the owener
[22:02] <guntbert> Wyn: please don't recommend sudo su - use sudo -i instead
[22:02] <Wyn> guntbert: good point
[22:02] <meway> -la not found
[22:03] <mongy> was about to say same
[22:03] <chiques_> In street English, what is a 'symbolic link'?
[22:03] <Wyn> meway: ls -la comes back with -la not found ?
[22:03] <meway> Wyn nvm got it
[22:03] <mongy> guntbert, tho, isnt sudo -s prefered?
[22:03] <meway> what am I looking for?
[22:03] <Wyn> chiques_: a short cut in effect
[22:04] <chiques_> Wyn, thanks
[22:04] <aethelrick> chiques_: a symlink is like a shortcut to a file
[22:04] <Wyn> np
[22:04] <guntbert> mongy: -i acts like a complete login, so the environment is set properly
[22:04] <chiques_> Thanks aethelrick
[22:04] <meway> some things are root and some things are ?? and some things are meway
[22:04] <mongy> guntbert, noted
[22:04] <meway> Wyn Idk what I am looking at
[22:05] <Wyn> meway: nothing should be root
[22:05] <aethelrick> chiques_: but they're a bit more useful than short cuts on windows... you can make them executable and they bahave as if they are the file they are a shortcut to
[22:05] <meway> Wyn How do I change a line than?
[22:05] <fuho> Hi everyone, could someone help me with this command? iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.8.0.0/24 -j SNAT -to venet0 I am trying to get OpenVPN working and CLI keep telling me that venet0 is wrong argument
[22:06] <Wyn> meway: chown -R meway:meway some folder
[22:06] <itaylor57> was going to describe the difference between a soft vs hard link in unix but ...
[22:06] <greezmunkey> meway: Here's a good explanation: http://www.perlfect.com/articles/chmod.shtml
[22:06] <Wyn> meway: change meway for your user name of course
[22:07] <meway> meway would be my user name
[22:07] <chiques_> aethelrick, That seems to be what my application is using it for.
[22:07] <Wyn> meway: just run that in your homw folder then
[22:07] <Wyn> meway: chown -R meway:meway *
[22:07] <meway> whats the star for?
[22:07] <metallico> guys, what was the name of that package kde-addons or kde-plugins or something like that?
[22:08] <geeknik> what would be the name of the package that displays information when you login?
[22:08] <geirha> meway, Wyn: chown -R meway:meway ~
[22:08] <aethelrick> meway: chown -R meway:meway * means change owner to the user meway and the group meway recursivesly on all files and folder in my current folder
[22:08] <itaylor57> geeknik: you mean Plymouth?
[22:08] <greezmunkey> geeknik: that motd, message of the day stuff
[22:08] <Wyn> geirha: dont teach your grandmother to suck eggs
[22:09] <sam-_-_> geeknik, apt-cache search kde addons
[22:09] <geeknik> i suppose. the system information display, last login display. this is the Server distro, no GUI.
[22:09] <geirha> Wyn: Hm?
[22:09] <Wyn> geirha: it means I know the symbol for the home folder thanks :D
[22:09] <meway> permisson denied
[22:10] <Quantum_Ion> meway, sudo -i
[22:10]  * Wyn is used to servers
[22:10] <meway> o.o nvm its doing something
[22:10] <Quantum_Ion> I am not trying to visit the morgue
[22:11] <itaylor57> Quantum_Ion: LOL
[22:11] <Bazz> what exactly is backtrack?
[22:11] <geirha> Wyn: Sure, the commands do different things though.
[22:11] <itaylor57> !backtrack | Bazz
[22:11] <Bazz> ok then, ty
[22:12] <Wyn> geirha: yep, sudo -i for instance should not be used, sudo or permenent sudo su should be used not sudo -i or sudo -s but htats just the offical line
[22:12] <mongy> Bazz, it has security tools as part of it.. penetration testing etc...
[22:12] <doc-donkey> am i at the good place for random linux question ?
[22:12] <Bazz> ok, thank you mongy
[22:13] <geirha> Wyn: No, I mean * vs ~   * doesn't match files starting with dot
[22:13] <Quantum_Ion> doc-donkey, This is Ubuntu Linux not just Linux
[22:13] <nicolaus> i installed playonlinux but i cant find where it got installed to
[22:13] <nicolaus> ?
[22:14] <exarkun> Ubuntu 9.10 stopped automatically setting up my wireless card for me.  What shall I investigate to learn the cause of this problem, and then fix it?
[22:14] <Quantum_Ion> nicolaus, check /usr/local or /opt directory
[22:14] <Wyn> nicolaus: cmd line playonlinux then avalible via applications
[22:14] <doc-donkey> ok. i just dont know where to seek for help for my particular problem, looking to instal a .gz i've downloaded, but i have no clue how
[22:14] <Wyn> geirha: damn, your right you know, no I just feel like anewbie
[22:14] <mongy> doc-donkey, what is it
[22:14] <Quantum_Ion> nicolaus, try which playonlinux
[22:14] <doc-donkey> cgpsmapper-static
[22:14] <trauler> How to tell to c++ comioler that it recomile files all time?   and do not write thet I do not need
[22:15] <Sean93> how do a make a command answer yes to any quiestion it is asked?
[22:15] <Sean93> questions*
[22:15] <itaylor57> Sean93: what command are you doing?
[22:15] <mongy> Sean93, depends what the command is
[22:15] <meway> wyn everything is still broken
[22:15] <Sean93> apt-get upgrade
[22:15] <greezmunkey> Sean93: check manpage but usually some form of -Y or -y
[22:15] <meway> wyn accept worse now
[22:16] <Wyn> meway: reboot
[22:16] <itaylor57> there is an option for that
[22:16] <meway> wyn setuid root
[22:16] <sam-_-_> apt-get -y
[22:16] <meway> what is this?
[22:16] <Montreal1> hi...how can i compile latest VLC under Hardy?
[22:16] <itaylor57> sam-_-_: thanks
[22:16] <nicolaus> i installed it
[22:16] <trauler> How to tell to c++ comioler that it recomile files all time? and do not write thet I do not need
[22:16] <histo> !software > Montreal1
[22:17] <doc-donkey> so i can unzip the cgpsmapper-static.gz, it gives me a file named cgpsmapper-static, and after that, i have no damn clue what to do
[22:17] <nicolaus> but it says its install but i cant find it
[22:17] <histo> doc-donkey: did it come with a readme
[22:17] <doc-donkey> no
[22:17] <histo> doc-donkey: what does it do?
[22:17] <Montreal1> !software
[22:17] <Wyn> nicolaus: first start it from the command line, it then goes through config setup
[22:17] <Quantum_Ion> Compiling VLC will take a long time
[22:17] <narayan44> I just made an ubuntu live CD with ucr
[22:17] <Quantum_Ion> from source
[22:17] <nicolaus> whats the command line
[22:18] <Wyn> meway: chown root:root /usr/bin/sudo then chmod 4111 /usr/bin/sudo
[22:18] <Montreal1> but can be done for Hardy 8.4?
[22:18] <histo> nicolaus: terminal
[22:18] <Quantum_Ion> and you need a bunch of other packages
[22:18] <narayan44> I installed true crypt with a GUI installer in the chroot
[22:18] <aethelrick> nicolaus: it sounds like a statically linked executable... if you trust where you got it from, simply mark it as executable and then run it
[22:18] <narayan44> I won't work on the CD bow
[22:18] <narayan44> err now
[22:18] <histo> !who | Quantum_Ion
[22:18] <Quantum_Ion> Montreal1, yes
[22:18] <Wyn> nicolaus: applications - accessories - terminal
[22:18] <histo> Montreal1: have you checked getdeb?
[22:18] <doc-donkey> histo, it unzip a file with no dot something at the end, and i dont know what to use to run it
[22:18] <Quantum_Ion> Montreal1, Have you ever compiled a software package before ?
[22:18] <Montreal1> is old ver
[22:18] <nicolaus> and then
[22:19] <greezmunkey> doc-donkey: did you check out: http://www.cgpsmapper.com
[22:19] <nicolaus> e in what command
[22:19] <Montreal1> yes, i have
[22:19] <narayan44> anyone know anything about making your own live cds?
[22:19] <Wyn> aethelrick: I ran into the same thing, you install it then start the first run from the command line, it then asks you some qeustions and thats it
[22:19] <histo> !ask | narayan44
[22:19] <Quantum_Ion> Montreal1, The source code is here http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-sources.html
[22:19] <geeknik> 30 minutes later, I finally managed to get a bug report filed. *grin* The launchpad interface sucks.
[22:20] <nicolaus> oh i found it thanks guys

[22:20] <kalarikkal> My touchpad is not working unless I hold down Fn+F7. Please help
[22:20] <AtomicDryad> Is there still no txtmode boot for ubuntu server?
[22:21] <Montreal1> Quantum_Ion, tnx..noticed that...
[22:21] <Montreal1> but i think it's gonna be pain in the b....
[22:21] <dekone> narayan44: you could try http://www.geekconnection.org/remastersys/
[22:21] <Montreal1> coz hardy is old distro
[22:21] <Montreal1> i can't find deb
[22:21] <kalarikkal> i removed xserver-xorg-input-synaptics so i can use the mousepad but then tap and other synaptics features doesn't work
[22:21]  * mongy like remastersys.
[22:21] <mongy> I just made one for usb as it happens.
[22:22] <Quantum_Ion> Montreal1, I did it before and it takes a while because you will need to satisfy the depency issues by downloading software manually
[22:22] <AtomicDryad> As in 80x24 doslike text console with messages >.>
[22:22] <sam-_-_> Montreal1 why don't you upgrade?
[22:22] <doc-donkey> greezmunkey : the website only link for the download, no specific readme or anything..
[22:22] <narayan44> I have most of what I need working, except I installed truecrypt manually, and the executable won't execute
[22:22] <narayan44> and it won't tell me why
[22:22] <paxco> alguien habla español
[22:22] <Montreal1> aham...Quantum_Ion
[22:22] <narayan44> there seems to be one more step
[22:22] <AtomicDryad> (without a fracking splash screen)
[22:22] <AtomicDryad> :P
 long story
[22:22] <Montreal1> :)
[22:22] <meway> Wyn I rebooted my other computer and now seems to be completly fcked thanks...

[22:24] <meway> I can hit ctrl e and go to the other desktop
[22:24] <histo> jash: right click on the speaker and change the input for your sound preferences
[22:24] <meway> but still its another background
[22:24] <meway> all that shows up is a background
[22:24] <jash> I have but its not picking up.
[22:24] <meway> yay omg its a fcking background
[22:24] <meway> I get to look at a background
[22:24] <jash> It was working earlier but I reset and now its not?
[22:24] <ikonia> meway: control the langauge please.
[22:25] <narayan44> or better yet, does anyone have a .deb of truecrypt or know how to make one?
[22:25] <meway> I just asked for help and my problem got worse.
[22:25] <sam-_-_> narayan44, you can download one at truecrypt.org
[22:26] <exarkun> I booted the Maverick live cd, then booted back into Karmic.  Now my wifi card doesn't work.  iwconfig says "Tx-Power=off".  I don't have a physical switch for the wifi card on this laptop.  How do I turn it back on?
[22:26] <mongy> narayan44,  its a pkg in the repo isnt it....truecryptfs?
[22:26] <Quantum_Ion> narayan44, http://linuxandfriends.com/2010/02/03/how-to-truecrypt-setup-on-ubuntu-linux/
[22:26] <mongy> narayan44,  or maybe I am thinking of encryptfs
[22:26] <geeknik> I have my home directories encrypted on ubuntu, I think that's enough. =)
[22:26] <sam-_-_> narayan44, sry. obviously not anymore
[22:27] <supercom32> I have an NV37GL nvidia graphics card and when I installed lucid I don't see the "Hardware driver" icon used to install proprietary drivers. And when I install the nvidia drivers manually using the repos, I can't get the desktop to show up. Any ideas what to do?
[22:27] <narayan44> thanks anyway
[22:27] <iflema> exarkun: try shutdown for a few sec... not reboot.... may help??
[22:27] <narayan44> I have truecrypt running on my desktop, no probs
[22:27] <narayan44> the have an exe installer now like you typically do with windows
[22:27] <histo> supercom32: which nvidia driver did you install?
[22:27] <narayan44> what I NEED is truecrypt on an ubuntu live cd
[22:27] <exarkun> iflema: tried that, didn't help :/
[22:27] <Sentynel> I'm trying to open an old dbm database on ubuntu and having problems. everything I can find seems to expect a bsd dbm file (*.db), but this is a different dbm version (I don't know which) providing a .dir and a .pag file
[22:27] <supercom32> histo: nvidia-current
[22:28] <mongy> narayan44, cryptsetup is on livecd, so you can use encrypted folders...
[22:28] <sam-_-_> narayan44, you only need the binary of truecrypt
[22:28] <mongy> narayan44, or, use remastersys to make it how you like, if its not cryptsetup you need
[22:28] <histo> supercom32: hrm.. let me check something
[22:28] <Quantum_Ion> narayan44, Why do you need all this encryption do you work at WikiLeaks or something ?
[22:28] <narayan44> no
[22:29] <narayan44> but hahaha
[22:29] <Quantum_Ion> lol
[22:29] <mongy> narayan44, cryptsetup is the only tool I need personally.  I have home and 2 usb sticks encrypted.
[22:29] <supercom32> histo: I'm supprised that lspci can show the card, but it won't add the automatic driver download icon for me.
[22:29] <Montreal1> and...Quantum_Ion...can try this version also?
[22:29] <Montreal1> http://ubuntu-ky.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1552476&page=3
[22:29] <narayan44> another thing, where does gnome keep its menu files
[22:29] <Montreal1> 3rd post
[22:29] <histo> supercom32: well it should have shown it. But i'm assuming it's an issue with using current . I'm trying to find the right one for ya
[22:30] <narayan44> I need to edit some of them by hand
[22:30] <supercom32> histo: Ah
[22:30] <sam-_-_> narayan44, maybe ~/.config/menu

[22:30] <narayan44> hrmm
[22:30] <narayan44> the defaults

[22:31] <busata> hellow, I just installed lamp-server, using tasksel, on ubuntu 10.10 netbook remix (not efficient, but eh), now I enabled userdir with a2enmod , enabled the php, but I still get 403 errors when trying to browse to the site, I tried various chmod settings, changed group to www-data, any clues?

[22:31] <histo> supercom32: what is the real name of the card like nvidia quadro ...
[22:31] <Quantum_Ion> Montreal1, The deb version of vlc doesn't work on your Ubuntu 9.10 system ?
[22:31] <ikonia> busata: can you browse to the server root
[22:31] <supercom32> histo: Quadro PCI-E Series (rev a2)
[22:31] <busata> ikonia: yes
[22:31] <meway> Wyn Its broken still and now I only have a background to work with any ideas? I also still have my initial problem
[22:32] <ikonia> busata: how are you trying to access the user dir's ?
[22:32] <sam-_-_> meway, backup your home dir and start over
[22:32] <histo> supercom32: hrm.. yeah you can try one of the older versions like 180 or try drivers direct from nvidia
[22:32] <histo> !nvidia | supercom32
[22:32] <mongy> busata, no expoert but dont you need to use ~name ?
[22:32] <mongy> expert *
[22:32] <busata> ikonia: http://localhost/~busata
[22:33] <meway> sam-_-_: ......................................................................................................................................................
[22:33] <Quantum_Ion> meway, use tar or rsync and back up your /home directory and reinstall buddy
[22:33] <ikonia> busata: try a file also for a test /~busta/index.html
[22:33] <busata> mongy: yes, it's what I'm trying, it worked fine a week ago or so on an ubuntu vm, not sure why it fails now
[22:33] <ikonia> meway: don't do that
[22:33] <busata> ikonia: did, still gives permission errors
[22:33] <aethelrick> meway: what started all this?
[22:33] <meway> How do you expect me to do that?????????? I have nothing to backup with
[22:33] <busata> aethelrick: pacman :-(
[22:33] <ikonia> busata: exactly what error is it giving ?
[22:33] <Quantum_Ion> meway, you can back up your /home directory with tar
[22:33] <busata> from server log?
[22:34] <sam-_-_> meway switch to console?
[22:34] <ikonia> busata: just on the page
[22:34] <mongy> meway, what is your problem exactly.
[22:34] <meway> aethelrick: could not update ICEauthority file /home/meway/.ICEauthority
[22:34] <supercom32> histo: what package should I select? Theres a bunch and it's kind of confusing
[22:34] <sam-_-_> meway alt + ctl + f1
[22:34] <meway> originally
[22:34] <histo> supercom32: if you want to try the package from ubuntu remove nvidia-curret and install nvidia-glx-180
[22:34] <meway> than I fallowed some instruction on google and had not access to anything unless I did sudo
[22:34] <busata> ikonia: "You don't have permission to access /~busata on this server."
[22:35] <meway> so when I clicked my home folder under places it said something about nautlius
[22:35] <mongy> busata, try enabling indexes
[22:35] <ikonia> busata: can you show me the permissions of your /home and /home/busta/public_html diretory please
[22:35] <ikonia> mongy: he can't hit a file, so it's not indexes
[22:35] <Quantum_Ion> meway, What version of Ubuntu Linux are you running ?
[22:35] <meway> wyn had me do something and a bunch of other ppl were talking so I was typing in thinks like sudo -i and following chmode bla bla bla
[22:35] <Quantum_Ion> meway, cat /etc/lsb-release
[22:35] <mongy> ikonia, ah ok.
[22:35] <meway> Quantum_Ion:  9.10
[22:36] <ikonia> mongy: my first thought too
[22:36] <meway> Quantum_Ion: I can't do anything I have a blank screen with a background
[22:36] <ikonia> !eol
[22:36] <Montreal1> Quantum_Ion, i have Hardy 8.04
[22:36]  * mongy needs quad core vision and brain power in here
[22:36] <aethelrick> meway: it sounds like you've damaged your home directory... all is not lost. press CTRL+ALT+F1 to switch to a console
[22:36] <meway> now there is a problem with configureation server
[22:36] <Quantum_Ion> meway, WOW burn an iso with Ubuntu Linux 10.04  Lucid LTS

[22:37] <meway> Quantum_Ion: ok I am logged into my user
[22:38] <Quantum_Ion> meway, so do you have any important files in your /home directory
[22:38]  * mongy watches and learns.
[22:38] <meway> Quantum_Ion: problem is the computer that just crapped out was my only way of burning cd's

[22:40] <aethelrick> meway: if you're at a console, create a new user account, then reboot and log into it
[22:40] <meway> Quantum_Ion: I have backups
[22:40] <meway> aethelrick: and than?
[22:40] <aethelrick> meway: the new account will have correct permissions and won't be missing anything vital
[22:40] <Quantum_Ion> meway, To make a backup of your /home directory run this command  tar -pczf backup.tar.gz  /home
[22:41] <meway> Quantum_Ion: I have a backup
[22:41] <meway> aethelrick: how do I make a new account?
[22:41] <Quantum_Ion> meway, then take the tar.gz and burn it to disk or move it to a usb hardrive with lots of space
[22:41] <aethelrick> meway: you WILL then have a place to work and recover the other account if you want to
[22:41] <meway> Quantum_Ion: already did like 2 days ago XD
[22:42] <meway> aethelrick: how do I make a new user?
[22:42] <Quantum_Ion> meway, so did you move the backup.tar.gz to another hard drive or burn it to a DVD-RW ?
[22:42] <greezmunkey> meway:sudo adduser (username), then setpass (username)
[22:43] <aethelrick> meway: adduser someuser
[22:43] <greezmunkey> meway: er passwd (username)
[22:43] <meway> greezmunkey: must be setuid root
[22:43] <Quantum_Ion> meway, Do you have Grub installed ?
[22:44] <meway> Quantum_Ion: i did last time I um hit the power button.....
[22:44] <Quantum_Ion> meway, There is a way to reset the root master password from Grub
[22:44] <aethelrick> meway: sudo -i
[22:44] <meway> aethelrick: I get the same message
[22:44] <meway> must be setuid root
[22:44] <mongy> rw /init/bash from kernel or use recovery mode
[22:44] <aethelrick> meway: how many user accounts you got on the box ??
[22:45] <meway> aethelrick: 1
[22:46] <aethelrick> meway: sounds like your sudo binary has the wrong permissions
[22:46] <alfio> ciao
[22:46] <aethelrick> meway: do you have a root account password set or are you running exclusively with sudo?
[22:46] <alfio> ciao
[22:47] <aethelrick> meway: I think you permission tinkering earlier was done from the wrong directory and has changed permissions through your whole machine
[22:48] <meway> aethelrick: and that would do what to me?
[22:48] <alfio> ciao
[22:48] <aethelrick> meway: I could talk you through fixing this, but you'll need a CD you can boot from or a root password. It may be quicker (and easier for you) to simply reload the box

[23:05] <meway> Quantum_Ion: just your chain because you r want me to have it your way :p 10.10

[23:12] <Quantum_Ion> meway, LTS = Long Term Stable version of Ubuntu Linux not like that experimental version 10.10
[23:13] <narayan44> use no power make no heat
[23:13] <meway> harovali: http://www.google.com/#hl=en&expIds=17259,17311,18168,25451,27558&sugexp=ldymls&xhr=t&q=how+do+I+install+ubuntu+to+a+flash+drive%3F&cp=41&pf=p&sclient=psy&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=how+do+I+install+ubuntu+to+a+flash+drive%3F&gs_rfai=&pbx=1&fp=83f87efc6f926f13
[23:13] <narayan44> run full x86-32 code, so you can use embed them
[23:13] <narayan44> manually compiling truecrypt
[23:13] <narayan44> bah
[23:14] <toolboc> I have a simple question
[23:14] <toolboc> not sure if I am in the right place but likely a simple solution
[23:14] <saintly> its completely silent of in Xubuntu ...
[23:14] <spencer_> toolboc go ahead
[23:14] <meway> so sense I can't break anything more what fun can I have with this
[23:14] <saintly> i have a thems question
[23:14] <Darael> Got a problem with my wifi:  Network-manager (or at least nm-applet) insists "device not ready".
[23:14] <Caelum> there's no magnifier in ubuntu
[23:14] <narayan44> I think I found out why truecrypt wouldn't run
[23:14] <Quantum_Ion> Hey I just install experimental Ubuntu Linux 10.10 now my keyboard inputs data in Mandarin Chinese and won't let me text in English and I live in the USA so what do I do now ?
[23:14] <toolboc> I shared folders using the right-click gui method and have shares that I don't want to share anymore
[23:14] <narayan44> missing dependencies
[23:14] <BernardV> narayan44: I have a complete embedded system here, but now I've seen this I'm sure I will buy a dev board. It's nice to play with.
[23:15] <toolboc> /etc/samba/smb.conf does not list any shares
[23:15] <toolboc> however I see them when I browse the Network on another computer
[23:15] <spencer_> toolboc would you mind just typign everything into a single post?
[23:15] <toolboc> sorry
[23:15] <Darael> Caelum: A screen magnifier?  I think there is... *checks* yes, the gnome-mag package.
[23:15] <mongy> compiz has a better magnifier
[23:15] <Darael> Caelum: Not by default, but it's there.  kmag if you're using kubuntu, though.
[23:16] <Caelum> Darael: oh nice, thank you
[23:16] <toolboc>  I shared folders using the right-click gui method and have shares that I don't want to share anymore and /etc/samba/smb.conf does not list any shares.  However, however I see them when I browse the Network on another computer
[23:16] <toolboc> Where is the list of all shared folders in Ubuntu?
[23:17] <Darael> Caelum: I believe Orca, which /is/ installed by default, does magnification too, but ICBW.
[23:17] <BernardV> Hehe.. installing the restricted package. Question with a select box: "Do you accept the EULA license terms?" for the windows fonts.. But it's a bit odd, do I have to select the question? ;)
[23:17] <Darael> BernardV: That's a UI bug in my book.  I should file it, if I were you.  Not quite sure which package you file it against, though.
[23:18] <nikre> hi, how can i partition my new hdd in ubuntu? i also use this hdd for windows and it is ntfs now. i remember gparted being used for this but i need the up-to-date tool and preferrably a good ui
[23:18] <BernardV> Darael: I'm fairly new to Ubuntu (mostly debian console only) so I wouldn't even know where to file it.
[23:18] <spencer_> Are there any drivers for those little micro USB bluetooth dongles that anyone knows of?
[23:19] <Caelum> I put "user ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL" in /etc/sudoers but sudo still asks me for password
[23:19] <Darael> BernardV: Ah.  http://launchpad.net is the place you want, but I'll do it later.
[23:19] <meway> woot a whole 7%
[23:19] <meway> 1 hour 17m left
[23:19] <ubnoob> hello everyone, does anyone know of a good program for managing ipod touch? In addition i can't mount the drive-any sugestions?
[23:19] <BernardV> ok.. thnx Darael for the link and for doing it later ;)
[23:19] <spencer_> ubnoob have you tried GTKpod?
[23:20] <Caelum> ubnoob: gtkpod
[23:20] <ubnoob> one second pls let me check which program i have.
[23:20] <meway> ubnoob hold down the home button for 30 seconds and on button
[23:20] <meway> than let go of home and allow to turn on
[23:20] <Darael> nikre: if you install the package "gparted" you get a partition editor, or I believe system->administration->disk utility will let you do basic foratting.
[23:21] <Tesa2> Can someone tell me what's wrong here?? http://gyazo.com/1470168f5b91cc3991df0426c5001807.png
 yes i have that downloaded but i can't mount the drive
[23:21] <spencer_> ubnoob is the device on when plugged in?
[23:21] <Caelum> ubnoob: you need ifuse to mount
[23:21] <ubnoob> yes its on
[23:22] <Caelum> ubnoob: go to #gtkpod
[23:22] <ubnoob> ifuse??? is that in the package manager?
[23:22] <meway> well i'm going to leave as I wait
[23:22] <Caelum> ubnoob: yes it is
[23:22] <Darael> Got a problem with my wifi; nm-applet insists "device not ready".
[23:22] <toolboc> What file gets updated, when you share a folder using the gui?
[23:23] <silktaco> test
[23:24] <Darael> toolboc: /etc/smb.conf IIRC.
[23:24] <leslie> I was currently running Windows 7, downloaded and installed Ubuntu 10.10 fell in love with it. Would like some help now removing Windows 7 from the hard drive
[23:24] <leslie> could someone please help?
[23:24] <BernardV> wow I'm impressed. The geode even runs movieplayer with a MP3 stream
[23:24] <Darael> leslie: Do you still have a live CD?
[23:24] <leslie> Yes
[23:25] <toolboc> Darael:  Thanks, however, I checked there and there is no shares listed in there, yet I see them when I browse the network
[23:25] <Darael> toolboc: Yeah, I realised a moment ago that there must be a per-user file as well.  Not sure what, though.
[23:25] <Darael> leslie: You'll need to load it if you want to reclaim the Win7 space - we need to do things to your hard drive.
[23:26] <Caelum> Darael: weird, it says I have gnome-mag installed but I don't see it in the applications menu anywhere
[23:26] <leslie> Would I just simply run a new install with the LiveCD and run the install as whole disk
[23:26] <ubnoob> i installed ifuse but i still get this message "DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus"
[23:26] <D3ath101> leslie, if u have a usb drive, download the software to the usb drive and boot from the usb, click install, and to use the entire hardrive. the option is right there.
[23:26] <Caelum> ubnoob: you use ifuse to mount the ipod
[23:26] <Caelum> ubnoob: ifuse <directory>
[23:26] <Darael> leslie: That would work.  You would lose any files you had on there, though.  If that's OK by you, go ahead, but otherwise we can remove the Win7 sections without harming your Ubuntu install.
[23:27] <ubnoob> oh..let me try
[23:27] <hakimsheriff> sorry if this is repeated but I lost my internet connection, What are the requirements to join the Ubuntu Memebers Group?
[23:27] <sam-_-_> leslie, run palimpsest. delete the partition
[23:27] <leslie> Darael : That would be very nice due to the fact that I've been busy downloading and installing all sorts of software
[23:27] <Caelum> ubnoob: make an empty directory as a mount point
[23:27] <Darael> sam-_-_: That may let one delete the partition but it won't reclaim the space.
[23:28] <draven_sol> nautilus on my client keeps crashing when moving files to the server
 i don't know how to do that.
[23:28] <Darael> leslie: Right.  You'll need to run your live-cd and go to system->administration->gparted partition editor.
[23:28] <Caelum> ubnoob: mkdir foo; ifuse foo # done
[23:29] <leslie> And the partition editor will allow me to format the win 7 partition as well as reclaim the memory of that partition right ?
[23:29] <Darael> leslie: Basically, yes.  You'll need to remove any partitions formatted as NTFS, then you can expand the existing partitions to fill the freed space.
[23:30] <ubnoob> i get this message in the terminal "GNUTLS ERROR: A TLS fatal alert has been received.
[23:30] <ubnoob> "
[23:30] <BernardV> leslie: The partition editor will not format the partition, only define what type it is
[23:30] <Caelum> ubnoob: what does that have to do with anything
[23:30] <Darael> BernardV: Gparted acts as a frontend to the various mkfs tools as well, so it actually /will/ format it.
[23:30] <leslie> darael : thank you so much. if I run into anymore probelms I will be bacl
[23:30] <MaJaX_> Plop
[23:30] <leslie> correction: back
[23:31] <MaJaX_> vous avez quoi en uname -r ?
[23:31] <ubnoob> i don't know what to do to get it to mount, so i don't know if i did it wrong
[23:31] <Darael> !fr | MaJaX_
[23:31] <BernardV> Ah ok.. sorry.. was thinking of (c)fdisk etc... don't mind me.. will be quiet ;)
[23:32] <Darael> No problem.  Easy to miss that I'd directed leslie to gparted, after all.
[23:32]  * Caelum waves to Khisanth 
[23:32] <neurochrome> my sound stopped working after a powercut on maverick - acer revo r3610.  I've booted into a live image and it still doesn't work... but it works fine on the other OS (xbmc live) installed on the same machine!  any ideas?
[23:32] <Khisanth> hi :)
[23:32] <hakimsheriff> What are the requirements to join the ubuntu members group?
[23:33] <Darael> Got a problem with my wifi; nm-applet insists the device is not ready.  Card is a Realtek RTL8191SEvB.  Wicd works fine but I need to test nm.
[23:34] <toolboc> For the record, it has to do with Ubuntu's bastardization of Samba through a package called nautilus-share
[23:34] <Darael> toolboc: Will remember that.
[23:34] <BernardV> Thnx toolboc for pointing that.
[23:35] <toolboc> not sure why ALL forum posts deal with /etc/samba/smb.conf which is does not use
[23:35] <ubnoob> Caelum: I tried to mount but it don't work, what do you think i should do?
[23:35] <Caelum> ubnoob: go to #gtkpod, they will help you
[23:36] <ubnoob> ok, thanks
[23:36] <BernardV> Darael: What happens if you remove and reload the module for the realtek ?
[23:37] <moep2> nabend
[23:37] <moep2> wie kann ich ubuntu (10.04) im safe mode starten?
[23:37] <BernardV> avond moep2
[23:37] <Darael> BernardV: No change.
[23:38] <sam-_-_> !de |moep2
[23:38] <moep2> ehm, how to start ubuntu 10.04 in safe mode?
[23:38] <mohamed> what should i do if i forgot my password ?
[23:38] <Darael> BernardV: Well, strictly speaking that's not true - I get dropouts after which it refuses to connect to anything, and reloading the module is a temporary fix for that, but it doesn't affect nm.
[23:39] <histo> mohamed: boot to a live cd or recovery mode and change it
[23:39] <sam-_-_> moep2, append "single" to the boot command
[23:39] <Darael> moep2: After your BIOS diagnostic screen, hold shift.  You should get a grub menu.  You can choose safe mode from that.
[23:39] <moep2> ok, thx
[23:40] <Darael> moep2: Sorry, that's recovery mode.  Safe mode doesn't exist, though there's safe graphics mode available from the login screen.  I think.
[23:40] <BernardV> Darael: When searching google I see posts about dropping connections for that realtek, it's not the same problem.. but what I could find in this short time is 2.6.36...
[23:41] <bencahill> hey peeps :), if I copied an existing hdd ubuntu install to a usb drive, would it work?
[23:41] <durando> i am trying to setup dual displays with different resolutions using the ati catalyst drivers can someone help
[23:42] <sam-_-_> bencahill, if you do it right. yes.
[23:42] <Darael> BernardV: Yeah, I too was only able to find the connection-drop problem.  Guess I'll try a different kernel and see if it works.
[23:42] <bencahill> sam-_-_: do you have any tips?
[23:42] <sam-_-_> bencahill, you may need to install grub on the usb drive
[23:42] <bencahill> sam-_-_: I'll use the existing grub on the hdd to boot the usb
[23:43] <moep2> Darael, ehm, i want to start only a shell without any graphicdriver.
[23:43] <sam-_-_> bencahill, oh ok. then just make sure the permissions are being kept the same
[23:43] <shcherbak> moep2: text as boot option
[23:44] <BernardV> Darael: Maybe this one: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=21&PFid=48&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true
[23:44] <bencahill> sam-_-_: could I just use a cp while in the existing hdd, or would I need to use a boot cd?
[23:44] <BernardV> make and the remove/add the module
[23:44] <Darael> moep2: You probably do want the recovery mode, then.
[23:44] <BernardV> *then
[23:44] <hector> hi all
[23:44] <hector> how do i force the restricted drivers pop-up to show up again
[23:44] <sam-_-_> bencahill, yes you could but don't copy dirs like dev or sys
[23:44] <Darael> BernardV: I'll give it a go.  I'm loath to do it, though.  And it does seem odd that wicd manages it just fine.
[23:44] <moep2> okey, i try
[23:44] <hector> i accidentlly closed it and i want to install the restricted drivers
[23:45] <ActionParsnip> hector: use the System -> Admin -> hardware drivers item
[23:45] <bencahill> sam-_-_: ok, will it work without those?
[23:45] <Darael> hector: system->administration->Additional Drivers
[23:45] <JCDG> hello friends
[23:45] <hector> ty
[23:45] <sam-_-_> bencahill, just create and empty dev/sys dir and
[23:45] <Darael> hector: The specific name of the option will depend on your release - it used to be "hardware drivers" as ActionParsnip said.
[23:45] <neurochrome> Next release it'll be Restricted Drivers again, just to confuse people
[23:45] <sam-_-_> bencahill, you will be fine
[23:46] <BernardV> Darael: http://blog.debit.nl/dareal.txt (this is a copy of the post)
[23:46] <Delo_> hi, is there any way I can set up Evolution to work with a Hotmail account?
[23:46] <hector> i am on 10.04
[23:46] <bencahill> sam-_-_: ok i gtg, bbl, thx!
[23:46] <Delo_> i used the default values and tried an online guide, but it never updated and the account didn't appear in the left pane.
[23:46] <Darael> Cheers, BernardV.
[23:46] <neurochrome> Delo_, yeah, plenty of guides online
[23:46] <BernardV> That about wicd is true...
[23:46] <histo> hector: System > admin > hardware drivers
[23:46] <hector> is there a link on what i need to do to update to 10.10
[23:46] <ActionParsnip> Delo_: http://pricklytech.wordpress.com/2010/05/01/ubuntu-10-4-lucid-configuring-evolution-to-connect-to-hotmail-windows-live-mail/
[23:46] <histo> !upgrade > hector
[23:46] <zvacet> Delo_:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingHotmailWithEvolution
[23:47] <JCDG> Does anyone of you have resolved the issue in UNE with the battery? because my machine goes to hibernate very often by saying that the battery is extremely low...when it's nos true
[23:47] <hector> does that upgrade path work for the Netbook Version ?
[23:47] <Darael> BernardV: The linked driver appears to be for the USB version of the card?  At least, it has USB as a name-section and PCI is lacking.
[23:47] <mohamed> any one know about python compilier
[23:48] <hector> or will i loose netbook features
[23:48] <histo> hector: yes it works
[23:48] <neurochrome> Where are all the audio specialists?  This is doing my head in!
[23:48] <histo> !install > malik_
[23:49] <Darael> mohamed: Python is an interpreted language.  While you can probably compile it, you're not really meant to.  The #python folks can probably help you best.
[23:49] <White-Horse> is ati radeon hd 5xxx supported yet with ubuntu 10.04 or 10.10 ?
[23:49] <nirazio> I have an old Ubuntu LAMP server. I'd like to move the webpage over to a newer Ubuntu server and I'm wondering what the easiest way to backup and restore the webpage would be? Or just the easiest way to transfer the settings to a new server.
[23:49] <histo> !ati > White-Horse
[23:49] <histo> nirazio: wget
[23:49] <knoppix> Do i need to do anything to sda2 before I partition it?
[23:49] <histo> nirazio: or are you talking aobut mirroring thepackages installed on the new server?
[23:50] <ActionParsnip> nirazio: why dont you ALREADY have a backup!?
[23:50] <Darael> nirazio: If you've got both up, then you can use rsync to make the whole site the same.
[23:50] <histo> knoppix: what are you tyring to do?
[23:50] <neurochrome> knoppix, sda2 is a partition
[23:50] <Bennis> hey, quick question. I'm ssh'd into a ubuntu machine from putty on windows and trying to start empathy on the remote ubuntu machine, but i keep getting a display error. What am i doing wrong?
[23:50] <BernardV> Darael: You could try the SEvA2
[23:51] <knoppix> histo, I want to install 10.04
[23:51] <Darael> Bennis: if you want empathy to run on the remote display, prepend "DISPLAY=:0" (no quotes) to the command.  If you want it displaying locally you'll need an X server on your Windows box.
[23:51] <lacrymology> I've compiled a library that I need to use to compile some more stuff... where should I put it (I'm guessing /usr/something)? or rather, is there some special thing I can do to "register" it somewhere?
[23:51] <histo> knoppix: okay on /dev/sda2?
[23:51] <knoppix> histo, i am using g-parted to do this.
[23:51] <Bennis> excellent, thanks :D
[23:51] <Darael> Bennis: There should have been a space on the end of that DISPLAY line.  Whoops.
[23:51] <histo> knoppix: okay well if you have /dev/sda2 that means you already have a partition there.
[23:52] <knoppix> histo, i want to partition sda2 1 more time to make unallocated space
[23:52] <neurochrome> knoppix, sda is a HDD sda2 is the second partition on that drive
[23:52] <zvacet> knoppix : sda2 is partition so mark it as ext4 and make it root / if you want to install ubuntu on one partition
[23:52] <knoppix> histo, do i need to do anything inparticular before i partition sda2?
[23:52] <histo> knoppix: you want ot resize /dev/sda2 then tomake free psace
[23:52] <histo> knoppix: you don't paritition sda2 you partition sda
[23:52] <histo> knoppix: I think you are getting confused
[23:53] <neurochrome> knoppix, you might want to think about having multiple partitions for Ubuntu (sda2=/, sda3=/home)
[23:53] <nullkuhl> how can i write a path to the env varibales instead of typing export in each session ?
[23:54] <JCDG> Does anyone of you have resolved the issue in UNE with the battery? because my machine goes to hibernate very often by saying that the battery is extremely low...when it's nos true
[23:54] <ActionParsnip> nullkuhl: add to the ~/.bashrc  to add to path
[23:54] <knoppix> histo, i would like to make free space from sda2.
[23:54] <reaper_> anyone know if anyone good games that run on Ubuntu
[23:54] <ActionParsnip> nullkuhl: add:  export PATH=$PATH:/new/path  to add /new/path   to PATH
[23:55] <neurochrome> reaper_, yes... check out the humble indie bundle for a start
[23:55] <zvacet> knoppix . do you try to shrink sda2 or expand it?
[23:55] <White-Horse> the msg that ubottu gave is very out dated  has anyone tried the ATI HD Radeon 5xxx ?
[23:55] <nullkuhl> ActionParsni thanks
[23:55] <knoppix> zvacet, shrink it using g-parted
[23:55] <neurochrome> reaper_, prey, savage2
[23:55] <BernardV> Darael: nvm the va2
[23:56] <BernardV> In the spanish post it says you need to use the 8192SE driver
[23:56] <zvacet> knoppix : so do it and you can leave unallocated space and on it install ubuntu
[23:56] <White-Horse> its been 1 and 1/2 years since the last update ati made for there cards with linux
[23:56] <metallico> guys, i still cant get the interactive globe to work as desktop, as soon as I select "globe" in the dropdown in the desktop options, KDE just freezes
[23:57] <Fuuko> Good evening everybody.
[23:57] <metallico> any ideas how to fix it?
[23:57] <ActionParsnip> White-Horse: it's supported by the proprietary driver, just as it was last year, so its still valid
[23:57] <Fuuko> I would like to know how to install Virtualbox on a Ubuntu/10.04 host.
[23:57] <BernardV> Darael: From another source "Actually, it seems neither the 8191SE-VA2 or RTL8191SU are correct, but rather the RTL8192SE."
[23:57] <knoppix> zvacet, what i was asking before was, is there anything i need to do before i shrink sda2?
[23:57] <Fuuko> Currently-- it is impossible.
[23:57] <Darael> BernardV: Understood.  Just been browsing daemon.log, looks like NM is having trouble reading the card's MAC address.  Wonder why....
[23:57] <ActionParsnip> White-Horse: the hardware driver applet installs the driver, just like it says, just like it did 1.5 years ago
[23:57] <White-Horse> last year only ATI HD Radeon 4xxx was supported
[23:57] <zvacet> knoppix:  what is on it Windows or something else
[23:58] <ActionParsnip> White-Horse: its supported now
[23:58] <Darael> BernardV: The VA2 link appears to give me the 8192SE driver package anyway.
[23:58] <knoppix> zvacet, yes XP sp2
[23:58] <knoppix> zvacet, on sda1
[23:58] <BernardV> Darael: ok. But not reading the MAC is ..... weird
[23:58] <ActionParsnip> White-Horse: just because a document isnt as erecent as your tastes would like doesn't mean it doesnt stil apply
[23:58] <White-Horse> thanks ActionParsnip
[23:58] <zvacet> knoppix:  but nothing on sda2 ?
[23:59] <Darael> BernardV: I know.  But: NetworkManager[7106]: <error> [1292800012.541448] [nm-device-wifi.c:3095] real_update_permanent_hw_address(): (wlan0): unable to read permanent MAC address (error 0)
[23:59] <ActionParsnip> White-Horse: look at the text, rather than homing in on the editted date first, you'll be fine
[23:59] <zvacet> knoppix:  or you are trying to shrink sda1 to make room for sda2
[23:59] <knoppix> zvacet, i have ubuntu 10.04 on there. boot loader is corrupt and i dont know how to fix it. So i would like to make unallocated space from sda2
