[00:00] <sandyd> WinCamXP: which means Pentium3 +
[00:00] <WinCamXP> darn it
[00:00] <aeon-ltd> WinCamXP: there are other distros that go back to i386
[00:01] <WinCamXP> would a Windows 7 comp with 4GB of RAM run a Minecraft server with up to 3 people lagless, or would it be better if I had 8GB?
[00:01] <jiohdi> help! I have no idea what I did but gnome no longer sees my keyboard... icewm and others are still ok
[00:01] <WinCamXP> I'm thinking of upgrading cuz I'm stuck with 2GB...
[00:01] <bastidrazor> !ot | WinCamXP
[00:02] <nonix4> jrib: bug #561390 is even more like it - /boot was mounted manually since fstab was referring to sda instead of sdd; changed that to UUID now, but haven't booted yet because physical access to that host is not available atm in case things go wrong.
[00:02] <velcroshooz> is there a way to get the mail icon to show when there is new mail?
[00:02] <aeon-ltd> WinCamXP: ram is not going to be the limiting factor here, 2gb is fine; the first step is making it work even if it is slow then using something like 'htop' see whats causing the bottleneck
[00:03] <jiohdi> velcroshooz: if you use docky, it has a widget for mail that puts number of new mail on an envelope
[00:04] <nonix4> What kind of permissions is /dev/shm supposed to have?
[00:05] <sandyd> nonix4: drwxrwxrwt
[00:06] <nonix4> hmm, it is missing group/other write. Can/should I just chmod or should I suspect things being mounted in backwards order, that shadows mountpoints?
[00:07] <wjlafrance> Howdy! I'm thinking of using Ubuntu as a router for a hackerspace (too many users for a traditional router), but I'm wondering if I should use a more specialized distro?
[00:07] <DarkAcap> hello
[00:07] <sandyd> nonix: it should have nosuid permissions
[00:07] <badger32d> wjlafrance, I would look at smoothwall/monowall/pfsense
[00:07] <sandyd> fstab line should be "shm                     /dev/shm        tmpfs           nodev,nosuid,noexec     0 0"
[00:07] <joeoshawa> better
[00:07] <Pyscho> good evening, i was wondering if you can tell me what packages i need for libcurl, gnutls, and libpcre
[00:07] <joeoshawa> sorry about that
[00:07] <wjlafrance> badger32d, are those software or distros?
[00:08] <badger32d> wjlafrance, all distro's.
[00:09] <wjlafrance> badger32d, so you don't recommend ubuntu? Basically we have a wireless router we'd repurpose as an AP and then use a nix box right behind the modem
[00:09] <nonix4> sandyd: there is no fstab line for it at all, but /proc/mounts does list it, as does /etc/mtab
[00:10] <badger32d> wjlafrance, ubuntu is fine, and I've used it with iptables and squid, but if all you want is a routeros, then those are created just for routering as it were. Also, I think smoothwall has a nice easy to use gui
[00:10] <joeoshawa> every time i reboot i have to log in and out and plug in and unplug my wires for my network on this machine to get it to connect to the internet
[00:10] <badger32d> wjlafrance, and by gui, I ment a web front end
[00:10] <joeoshawa> anyone know how to fix this
[00:10] <wjlafrance> badger32d, thanks for the information. :)
[00:11] <badger32d> no problem man, good luck with the hackerspace!
[00:11] <joeoshawa> its really driving me up the wall
[00:12] <bazhang> joeoshawa, next time try sudo dhclient eth0
[00:12] <joeoshawa> lemme write that down
[00:13] <joeoshawa> eeek wow hardcopy eeewwww
[00:13] <joeoshawa> so sudo dhclient eth0
[00:14] <joeoshawa> just to be sure
[00:14] <GeekMan> i got a question if i move to fedora with kde will most of my user data still be avalible if i install that over ubuntu
[00:14] <bazhang> joeoshawa, yep
[00:14] <bazhang> GeekMan, separate home partition?
[00:14] <epzil0n> hey gus
[00:14] <badger32d> GeekMan, backup /home if it is not a seperate partition.
[00:15] <epzil0n> guys
[00:15] <GeekMan> oh ok
[00:15] <intrader> Anyone, I have done`sudo apt-get install --reinstall msttcorefonts` -- that works. I am rebooting. Thanks
[00:15] <epzil0n> if someone comes here asking for me..
[00:15] <GeekMan> ok
[00:15] <epzil0n> pls give them this link
[00:15] <bazhang> GeekMan, and really ask in #fedora as the would know if the installer allows keeping the home partition
[00:15] <epzil0n> http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download
[00:15] <epzil0n> al the instructions are there
[00:16] <epzil0n> ok?
[00:16] <bazhang> epzil0n, no need, really
[00:16]  * epzil0n have to go to sleep now
[00:16] <GeekMan> you have to register with the server
[00:16] <epzil0n> yeah but i helped out
[00:16] <epzil0n> that's the thing
[00:16] <bots> some of my startup applications are not starting anymore
[00:16] <bazhang> GeekMan, then do so, its easy
[00:17] <epzil0n> so be friendy m8ts
[00:17] <epzil0n> and cheerz
[00:17] <bots> they are still listed as startup apps, but they dont start
[00:17] <epzil0n> byebye n take care
[00:17] <bots> I had a reboot that took forever earlier, seemed like something was wrong
[00:17] <joeoshawa> bazhang, you think maybe its a timing issue with dhcp?
[00:18] <bazhang> joeoshawa, not sure, but that should do it
[00:18] <joeoshawa> now thats funky that put a big message across my screen
[00:19] <GeekMan> i here in april the gui is changing
[00:19] <nonix4> jrib, sandyd: Thanks :) Kludged around the bug by adding permissions to /dev/shm for current user's group (only, since I guess those perms will get reset on boot and I don't need other users on that system on this boot anyway)
[00:19] <jiohdi> help! I have no idea what I did but gnome no longer sees my keyboard... icewm and others are still ok
[00:19] <GeekMan> *hear
[00:20] <badger32d> GeekMan, is that why you are switching to fedora?
[00:20] <joeoshawa> btw for people having firefox crashing problems it's the google search tool  in your search toolbar
[00:20] <jiohdi> how do I get it back?
[00:20] <GeekMan> not entirly
[00:20] <joeoshawa> remove it and it will probably stop crashing
[00:20] <badger32d> GeekMan: you realize you don't have to switch, also you can install KDE in ubuntu, no distro hopping needed.
[00:21] <Dashkal> Is there a quick way to get ubuntu to cough up what arch I installed?  I have no idea if I'm x86 or amd64 on this machine.
[00:21] <AlexandreMBM> Nautilus require password for Windows share in loop. Help?
[00:21] <GeekMan> whats the most efficent way to install kde
[00:21] <bastidrazor> Dashkal: uname -m
[00:21] <joeoshawa> i might kill my ubuntu 32 bit for a install of debian to play with all the alternative window managers logins and just plain tinkering
[00:21] <jiohdi> AlexandreMBM: sometimes its just your root password
[00:22] <Dashkal> bastidrazor: danke
[00:22] <bastidrazor> GeekMan: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[00:22] <bastidrazor> Dashkal: you're welcome
[00:22] <GeekMan> usaly i do it and i get all kinda strange oddities cause its not originally installed first
[00:22] <joeoshawa> just don't install enlightenment
[00:22] <joeoshawa> it made my system go crasy
[00:22] <GeekMan> i suppose maybe the last time i tired changing gui's i was linilliterit
[00:22] <joeoshawa> crazy
[00:23] <GeekMan> *fail
[00:23] <GeekMan> lin-illiterate
[00:23] <AlexandreMBM> jiohdi, No. It is the share password. I see a bug ticket but I don't know the solution and I lost the link page.
[00:23] <GeekMan> what if i want plasma kde
[00:23] <anigma> okey, so basically I just tried copying an img file to a USB  stick. I unmounted it first and did dd=/file/path of=/dev/usb...  That's about it, right? It doesn't matter what kind of img file  it is as long as it is an img file?
[00:25] <badger32d> GeekMan, google can help, but if I remember right sudo apt-get install kde-desktop will get you kde.
[00:25] <GeekMan> or does the current kubuntu have plasma i havent used it in ages
[00:25] <marko> hi
[00:25] <GeekMan> kk sry for mind less questions
[00:25] <badger32d> GeekMan, kubuntu has plasma, but installing Kde-desktop also gets you that same environment
[00:25] <bazhang> GeekMan, kubuntu-desktop is the package and yes it has plasma
[00:25] <GeekMan> k cool will try thanks
[00:26] <badger32d> thanks bazhang for the package name, good luck GeekMan
[00:26] <GeekMan> how long you think it should take
[00:26] <bazhang> GeekMan, similarly lubuntu-desktop , xubuntu-desktop and others will do
[00:26] <bazhang> GeekMan, depends on your download speed, I suppose
[00:26] <badger32d> GeekMan, with a good pipe, not too long.
[00:26] <_vladt> I have an ubuntu box that I use to do various functions that is connected to an intranet without being connected to the internet. I want to install certain packages on it, is there an easy way to download all the packages I need and the dependencies for them? Does apt-get -d download them to the local directory or will I have to wade through the pkg directory to find them?
[00:27] <badger32d> I think with a 5 meg link, it took about 30 minutes to download and install
[00:27] <_vladt> I want to download a good number of pakcages, so I want to avoid having to wade through the pkg directory
[00:27] <magicianlord> apt-get -d will do it
[00:27] <bazhang> _vladt, set up an apt-mirror? aptoncd? /msg ubottu offline as well
[00:28] <Kroplex> Will ubuntu desktop work on my laptop?
[00:28] <nofrillz> yes
[00:28] <Jordan_U> Kroplex: Yes.
[00:28] <_vladt> bazhang: aptoncd sounds like that's it. Thanks!
[00:28] <anigma> okey, so basically I just tried copying an img file to a USB  stick. I unmounted it first and did dd=/file/path of=/dev/usb...  That's about it, right? It doesn't matter what kind of img file  it is as long as it is an img file?
[00:28] <nofrillz> it might be a bitch finding wifi drivers for it though, Kroplex
[00:29] <Kroplex> yea that is my problem why i was asking
[00:29] <nofrillz> i would look up wifi drivers for your laptop before installing desktop
[00:29] <Kroplex> i can't connect with an ethernet cord directly to the router and i cant connect w/ wifi
[00:29] <bazhang> anigma, image of what
[00:29] <KM0201> Kroplex: do you know what your wifi device is?
[00:29] <conor_> i'm trying to add a wildcard domain (not the right way to say this) to my machine.. essentially, when i try to go to 'proto://foo', i want my system to try 'foo' first, but then 'foo.bar.net' if the plain hostname doesn't resolve.. any ideas?
[00:29] <GeekMan> who uses Guake terminal
[00:29] <Jordan_U> anigma: '.img' isn't really a file format. What was the image exactly?
[00:30] <GeekMan> sry thats off topic
[00:30] <Kroplex> yea hold on KM0201 ill get it
[00:30] <Ashlebede> O_O
[00:30] <nofrillz> linux wifi driver (your laptop model here)
[00:30] <nofrillz> ^stick that in google
[00:31] <neuroaccela> I use Guake, Geekman, bound to ~, of course. I've been spoiled by years of FPS gaming.
[00:31] <Kroplex> its a Marvell TOPDOG PCI-Express (EC85)...
[00:31] <GeekMan> :P
[00:31] <Kroplex> umm, how would i go about installing the wifi driver once in linux?
[00:31] <nofrillz> make
[00:31] <nofrillz> make install
[00:31] <nofrillz> reboot
[00:31] <GeekMan> \fly "you feel lighter"
[00:32] <neuroaccela> I use Guake as my primary terminal, actually, unless I need to do something across multiple terminals. I'd prefer separate windows over tabbed terminal windows.
[00:32] <GeekMan> \fly "gravity brings you down"
[00:32] <chovynz> so, how do I get a program to run everytime I boot up, without having to login? I'm using command line. No gui.
[00:32] <joeoshawa> has there been any gui made for mouse settings that deals with mouse wheel sensitivity
[00:32] <nofrillz> use a daemon
[00:33] <chovynz> I did some crontab the other day but that didn't work the next time I booted.
[00:33] <GeekMan> i finished the down load now its aking what i want to use as my default disp man
[00:33] <pedro> hello
[00:33] <pedro> hola
[00:33] <pedro> buenas noches
[00:34] <nofrillz> disp?
[00:34] <AlexandreMBM> Don't work: http://ubuntu-install.blogspot.com/2009/07/mount-networkdrive-in-save-way.html
[00:34] <GeekMan> display
[00:34] <dtcrshr> hello! im trying to do a recodmydesktop with a command line, but i cannot specify the height width currectly with arguments, it always say my screen size is AxB, even if i set alower screen size than AxB
[00:35] <joeoshawa> why would anyone want to autologin to a machine with no xserver
[00:35] <GeekMan> ?
[00:36] <Aikar> i need help. the WUBI windows installer is not installing correctly. i selected H: partition and it installed everything there, but when i try to boot ubuntu its trying to load the disk from my K: partition which doesnt have any unbutu files on it... how can i fix where grub is pointing to?
[00:36] <chovynz> joeoshawa: talking about my question?
[00:36] <Jordan_U> Aikar: Wubi does not support installing to a partition other than C:
[00:36] <joeoshawa> yes
[00:36] <Jordan_U> Aikar: Why not just do a normal install?
[00:36] <Aikar> Jordan_U: then why is there a drop down asking where to install it
[00:36] <joeoshawa> sounds kind of risky
[00:36] <GeekMan> true dat i used wubi its pretty cool for what it is
[00:36] <KM0201> Aikar: because its going to install on a virtual disk.
[00:37] <chovynz> joeoshawa: I have an ubuntu server box, but the commands are not ubuntu server. They are ubuntu command line. Just so happens that I have no gui.
[00:37] <Aikar> well theres a new wubi out that lets you install on other partitions
[00:37] <KM0201> Aikar: i hope you're aware of the inherent problems that wubi can/does cause... you might want to reconsider using it.
[00:37] <Aikar> but my problem is how do i fix grub to point to the correct partition with my virtual disk
[00:38] <joeoshawa> yes but server works without login no
[00:38] <GeekMan> it shouldnt be using grub it uses windows boot manager
[00:38] <joeoshawa> you only log in to admin the sytem
[00:38] <joeoshawa> system
[00:38] <Aikar> windows then grub
[00:38] <GeekMan> if i remeber right
[00:38] <ct529_> joeoshawa: you have to login always I think ....
[00:39] <GeekMan> oh XP
[00:39] <Jordan_U> Aikar: Because they are irresponsible not to have removed the option.
[00:39] <Jordan_U> Aikar: Why not just do a normal install?
[00:40] <chovynz> joeoshawa: yes, but I need to get them to run everytime. Do you know how to answer my question?
[00:40] <GeekMan> its diffrent cause with wubi your not suposed to change your partitions which is why i used it
[00:40] <Aikar> Jordan_U: will a normal install resize partition and add entry to windows bootloader too?
[00:40] <Jordan_U> Aikar: Yes.
[00:40] <Aikar> ok
[00:40] <GeekMan> its all under the windows partitions
[00:40] <Aikar> bah gotta burn a cd is why i wanted to do wubi :p
[00:40] <joeoshawa> sorry no i don't my brother was admin for many servers they all worked on bootup
[00:41] <chovynz> joeoshawa: before I login. e.g. start specific program before anyone logs in, so that users can login to that program. :)
[00:41] <GeekMan> usb?
[00:41] <Jordan_U> Aikar: You can also use a flash drive.
[00:41] <Aikar> dont have an extra to wipe to put it on
[00:41] <GeekMan> yeah when i first read about wubi i thought the same thing
[00:41] <Aikar> ill just grab a cd lol
[00:42] <GeekMan> lol
[00:42] <izinucs> When you "x" Rhythmbox the music keeps playing.. isn't there suppose to be an icon on a bar someplace to recall the interface?
[00:42] <KM0201> izinucs: i believe its in notification area
[00:42] <joeoshawa> then you need to put the programs in the startup like on any os
[00:43] <izinucs> KM0201: that area would be up by the clock?
[00:43] <KM0201> izinucs: affirmative
[00:43] <joeoshawa> there is a file that tells linux which programs to start when it boots and when put it in there
[00:43] <aflyingturtle> nickserv aflyingturtle
[00:43] <chovynz> joeoshawa: so how do I do that in command line syntax?
[00:43] <aflyingturtle> oops
[00:43] <izinucs> KM0201: nothing there :(
[00:43] <KM0201> izinucs: hmm
[00:43] <joeoshawa> one sec
[00:43] <aflyingturtle> does anyone know how to connect to a wireless network from terminal?
[00:44] <Ashlebede> o_o
[00:44] <aflyingturtle> what...
[00:44] <gpm> i use dvorak and i'm wondering if there's a way to make guest session use qwerty while keeping dvorak as my default layout? if not, where do i file the bug?
[00:44] <GeekMan> i should have asked this before i installed if i wanted to go back to gnome is it the same programs and all
[00:44] <Aikar> and figures when i need a CD-RW i cant find one
[00:44] <Aikar> i got a big stack
[00:44] <ct529_> chovynz: do you want to run services automatically?
[00:45] <ct529_> chovynz: or run services on demand without logging in?
[00:45] <izinucs> KM0201: ah.. they made a change in 10.10.. quirky.. you have to click the speaker in the notification appelate to see the options that are there.. How un-intuitive..
[00:45] <badger32d> aflyingturtle: check out iwconfig / wpa_supplicant. those are the two programs that will help you
[00:45] <KM0201> izinucs: i'll be darned, i had proably clicked that a zillion times, and never noticed that
[00:45] <chovynz> ct529_: if by services you mean programs like mysql (everytime I bootup, before login) then yes.
[00:45] <GeekMan> aikar: i whouldnt use cdrw's impo
[00:45] <ct529_> chovynz: yes, those are services
[00:46] <jukas_> can anyone help me?
[00:46] <ct529_> chovynz: then you can use different approaches
[00:46] <izinucs> KM0201: yea.. I've been on ubuntu since 5.10 and there's been tons of changes since then.. it's a game of "Keep-up"
[00:46] <chovynz> ct529_: Ok. yes. those are what I mean. Someone told me of a crontab the other day, but when I rebooted it did not work.
[00:46] <ct529_> chovynz: what distro do you have installed? ubuntu what?
[00:46] <jukas_> im trying to install gst-plugins-base-0.10.30 but i cant do the command make
[00:46] <chovynz> ubuntu 10.10 server
[00:46] <GeekMan> 5.10 iv been since 7.04
[00:46] <mattt_> Is it possible to boot from lvm/raid0?
[00:47] <ct529_> chovynz: you should be able to configure them over command line in /etc/init
[00:47] <ct529_> chovynz: or on the various /etc/rc.xxx
[00:47] <Aikar> GeekMan: cd-rws are usually great for OS installs, why?
[00:48] <jukas_> make[3]: Entering directory `/home/jukas/Downloads/gst-plugins-base-0.10.30/gst/adder'

[00:48] <FloodBot2> jukas_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:48] <ubun> i think i installed a plugin... but how do i use it
[00:48] <ct529_> chovynz: there is one /etc/rcX.d for each runlevel, choose the one that works better for you
[00:48] <GeekMan> i had issues in the past
[00:48]  * KM0201 agrees w/ GeekMan use CD-r's
[00:48] <joeoshawa> ct529_ i was going to show him this is this what he needs http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=246791
[00:49] <KM0201> i'm not saying RW's can't/won't work.. but over the years, whenever i had a problem w/ an install disk, it was an RW.
[00:49] <jukas_> anyone know why this is happening
[00:49] <bazhang> gir1.0-gst-plugins-base-0.10  jukas was it this?
[00:49] <GeekMan> after the first burn and wipe your more susceptable to write issues
[00:49] <jukas_> no just gst-plugins-base-0.10.30
[00:49] <badger32d> jukas_ - dont past all that info in here, use pastebin please. that will make it easier to see
[00:49] <Aikar> GeekMan: oh i was gonna use a new one, i meant to use them up instead of a cdr which i use for music usually
[00:49] <chovynz> ct529_: I've just ls /etc/init. Do I need to create a new file called something.conf in that dir so that it will autorun?
[00:49] <bazhang> jukas_, for what. please clarify
[00:50] <bazhang> jukas_, I dont see that in the repos
[00:50] <joeoshawa> ubun what plugin for what program
[00:50] <jukas_> i have to install gst-python-0.10.21
[00:50] <GeekMan> honestly i never use cdrws cause i have issues with them but that was when i was more careless with my disks too ;)
[00:50] <ct529_> chovynz: yes, that is ok .... but you have o learn the syntax of the conf file
[00:50] <badger32d> bazhang, its because ( I think) he is making from source
[00:51] <jukas_> but first i need to have this package
[00:51] <gpm> i use dvorak and i'm wondering if there's a way to make guest session use qwerty while keeping dvorak as my default layout? if not, where do i file the bug?
[00:51] <jukas_> install this package
[00:51] <GeekMan> besides there way over priced now
[00:51] <GeekMan> i think
[00:51] <bazhang> python-gst0.10, python-gst0.10-dev  jukas_ then install them from repos
[00:51] <GeekMan> lol
[00:51] <Aikar> so 10.10 got cool new stuff and should go with that right? noticed wubi was installing 10.4 but i like new shit :(
[00:51] <bazhang> Aikar, language please
[00:51] <chovynz> interesting. There is already mysql.conf.
[00:52] <chovynz> I wonder if I was logging in wrongly.
[00:52] <jukas_> ok let me see..
[00:52] <ct529_> chovynz: otherwise you could put a wrapper aroudn your script into the /etc/rcX.d of the lrunlevel X at which you would like to run your script.
[00:52] <GeekMan> lol so he likes new poo theres wierder things :D
[00:52] <Kroplex> would anybody mind helping me find a wifi driver for my computer? need it for linux, and maybe a tip on how to install it
[00:52] <joeoshawa> gpm each login uses its own settings if you change the keyboard in the  new username it should stick

[00:54] <GeekMan> haha i have finished the install of justice HAHA
[00:54] <badger32d> justice?
[00:54] <Kroplex> im sorry i disconnected.
[00:55] <GeekMan> yes KDE THE JUSTICE HAS ITS WAY
[00:55] <KM0201> Kroplex: can i pm you?
[00:55] <slkwr> guys the command /ignore * joi/ns quits parts nicks ... is not working on empathy
[00:55] <Kroplex> Yes
[00:55] <GeekMan> :P XD
[00:55] <slkwr> are there any aternatives?
[00:55] <badger32d> ahh, yes KDE. Lemme know how you like it.
[00:55] <gpm> joeoshawa: i'm talking about for the guest session....does it just inherit the layout from the user that starts it?
[00:55] <ubun> joeoshawa: sorry i meant to put that in #gimp im logged into both... but its in gimp and its liquid rescale
[00:55] <bazhang> slkwr, to empathy, sure many
[00:55] <badger32d> GeekMan: I havent used it for a while, since 4.3 I think
[00:55] <slkwr> how to stop empathy from showing join and quits notifications?
[00:55] <GeekMan> i started linux on kde
[00:55] <GeekMan> suse
[00:55] <jukas_> thanks this was very helpful one more question howcan i able the webcam on emesene?
[00:55] <rww> GeekMan: #ubuntu is a support channel. If you want to chit chat, please do it in #ubuntu-offtopic.
[00:55] <GeekMan> :(
[00:55] <badger32d> GeekMan: I started linux on slaxkde back in the day. Sorry rww, I brought him into this
[00:56] <ubun> no one in #gimp room....
[00:56] <Ashlebede> badger32d: Isn't 4.3 the *current* version ?
[00:56] <iIlL10oO> how to list all the sources server address , I want to write an ruby script to detect speed
[00:56] <Ashlebede> o_O
[00:56] <neuroaccela> I'd like to change from the GUI login screen to a login console that will then take me to the x session. Essentially, I'd like to log in in CL and be automatically brought to GUI after login. I'm on 10.10. What should I do?
[00:56] <GeekMan> i have created a diversion to the true meaning of support away i go WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHH
[00:56] <izinucs> ubun: #gimp is on another server..
[00:56] <ubun> yes i know
[00:56] <badger32d> Ashlebede, I ment 3.3, sorry reading and typing is my new thing
[00:56] <ubun> no one on there
[00:56] <slkwr> bazhang: how do stop those notification messages?
[00:56] <Ashlebede> D:
[00:56] <joeoshawa> gpm it uses the default keyboard you set on install but as soon as you add the new layout to keyboard it puts a keyboard icon to switch in the upper taskbar
[00:56] <Aikar> if i want ubuntu to resize a current partition thats NOT my current C: drive and install to that disk, would i choose "install alongside" or specify partitions manually
[00:56]  * badger32d waves bye to GeekMan
[00:56] <izinucs> ubun: so what are you trying to do with gimp?
[00:56] <GeekMan> bye
[00:57] <joeoshawa> so your users can use either one
[00:57] <ubun> i downloaded a plugin i think i installed it but dont know where it is or how to use it
[00:57] <bazhang> slkwr, in empathy? sorry I thought you meant an alternative irc client
[00:57] <gpm> joeoshawa: guest session also seems to be inheriting my startup programs (docky, gnome-do), i wonder if there's a way to disable THAT!
[00:57] <izinucs> ubun: hang on a sec and I"ll check the manual on where it's suppose to go.
[00:58] <gpm> the keyboard thing is semi-solved by the panel widget/applet/whatever
[00:58] <joeoshawa> not sure
[00:58] <gpm> yeah
[00:58] <gpm> that's trickier
[00:58] <ubun> izinucs: thanks
[00:58] <badger32d> gpm - make a guest account out of the question? not to step on your toes joeoshawa
[00:58] <prezident> hello world ....i have a dell xps one and every time i put in a cd the cd gets stuck until i turn off my computer is their any way i can fix this annoying situation?
[00:58] <slkwr> bazhang: no it's ok :) ...thanks
[00:58] <gpm> badger32d: no, i really like the guest account, i just wish it were more tweakable.
[00:58] <joeoshawa> that can be a problem tho but they will get there own settings lol
[00:58] <gpm> badger32d: but i guess that's the price you pay when /home is on /tmp and you're not a "real" user
[00:59] <badger32d> gpm: gotcha, thought you were using the guest session option from the menu
[00:59] <joeoshawa> not a problem at all jump in you guys know more then me
[00:59] <joeoshawa> honest lol
[00:59] <izinucs> ubun: what was the extension on the plugin?
[00:59] <gpm> yeah from the logout/reboot/etc menu
[00:59] <badger32d> gpm: woah, guess I missed the first part of that. Sounds like an interesting setup
[00:59] <gpm> no, i'm pretty sure i read somewhere that that's how the devs implemented the guest account
[00:59] <gpm> i'll see if i can pull up the page
[01:00] <Accelerator> COCO PUFFS!!
[01:00] <badger32d> gpm: huh, never used it. it brought my docky in too just now
[01:00] <izinucs> ubun: use my nick at the beginning of the line so it highlights me when you answer.. I'm multi-tasking right now.
[01:00] <gpm> badger32d: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/Specs/Intrepid/GuestAccount
[01:00] <gpm> badger32d: it's a cool feature.
[01:01] <gpm> needs some refinin' though
[01:01] <gpm> :-/
[01:01] <prezident> can anyone help me with a stuck cd ?
[01:01] <badger32d> gpm, it seems so! I like that option, just never needed to use it
[01:01] <jetboyjetgirl> is anything extra as far as anti-virus/anti-malware needed or recommended for ubuntu 10.10?
[01:01] <gpm> now i just need to figure out where to file the bug...
[01:01] <jpr133> ya trick ya
[01:02] <badger32d> jetboyjetgirl, not really - but you could check out clamav if you really want it
[01:02] <joeoshawa> you could make a guest account problem is it will have to be passworded lol
[01:02] <jetboyjetgirl> ok, thanks badger32d
[01:02] <maco> jetboyjetgirl: generally the use for AV on linux systems is if its a mail server and you want to scan for viruses so they dont reach your windows users
[01:02] <gpm> joeoshawa: i can't parse that sorry
[01:03] <badger32d> gpm, maybe a dumb question, but do you have root access?
[01:03] <gpm> badger32d: only through sudo
[01:03] <gpm> but yeah i'm the boss
[01:03] <badger32d> maco: agreed, but I use it to scan removable media that goes too and from windows machines
[01:03] <maco> badger32d: fair nuff. still for the protection of windows users though
[01:04] <badger32d> ok, well you could always just make another user account with limited privs for guest access
[01:04] <badger32d> maco: agreed
[01:04] <gpm> oh yeah
[01:04] <gpm> but i doubt i could do it as slickly as them
[01:04] <chovynz> nice feature on the guest account gpm
[01:04] <prezident> hello
[01:04] <maco> did the the guest login thing go away?
[01:04] <gpm> and i'm sure they'd at least listen to my plight
[01:04] <maco> there was a sandboxed guest login thing implemented a few years ago...
[01:04] <badger32d> gpm: them?
[01:05] <gpm> well, that's what i'm trying to figure out...which package provides the guest acct
[01:05] <badger32d> maco, thats what we are discussing. But it has some control issues. Not a whole lot of tweaking possible
[01:05] <maco> badger32d: apparmor / policykit?
[01:05] <gpm> it's not even a bug
[01:05] <gpm> just a feature request
[01:06] <gpm> a wishlist bug as they say on debbugs
[01:06] <tgp1994> Can anyone tell me how I can have teamviewer start up right when my ubuntu box starts up?
[01:06] <badger32d> maco: dont know much about either one of those
[01:06] <gpm> maco: good guesses
[01:06] <nickkontos> hello guys, a simple question: alt+f2 opens a run dialog in ubuntu... what is the name of this appication? googled it with no luck...
[01:06] <gpm> i think it uses apparmor
[01:06] <Guest96154> hi all, how do i make vino available from the internet?
[01:06] <gpm> but i'm not sure
[01:06] <gpm> and it's hard to find out where best to direct my request...
[01:07] <maco> gpm: yes for the sandboxing it should. and policykit lets you do fine-grained permissions
[01:07] <badger32d> nickkontos, I've always referred to it as the run dialog. thats what its called as far as I know
[01:07] <bastidrazor> nickkontos: its not a seperate application.. its part of gnome-panel
[01:07] <gpm> it's all so damn slick
[01:07] <maco> gpm: system -> admin -> authorizations should be where to find policykit stuff
[01:07] <joeoshawa> guest96154 use a website like youtube
[01:07] <badger32d> bastidrazor, ah, yes.
[01:08] <nickkontos> badger32d, bastidrazor so if gnome panel isn't running I can't call it any other way?...
[01:08] <gpm> maco: i don't have that menu item. do you know which package provides it?
[01:08] <badger32d> maco: hmm, now I'm going to have to check that out more. interested!
[01:08] <Guest96154> joeoshawa...what? umm yea..can i get an answer from someone who ISN'T suckin meth from the bathtub?
[01:08] <bastidrazor> nickkontos: not that i'm aware of.
[01:08] <badger32d> nickkontos, what *is* running?
[01:08] <maco> gpm: hrmm...something with a similar name in the menu? im not a gnome user so im going by a 2-year-old memory
[01:09]  * badger32d thinks Guest96154 is not getting much help with that attitude
[01:09] <joeoshawa> gust9614 you asked how to make a video available on the net right?
[01:09] <maco> nickkontos: correct
[01:09] <Guest96154> no
[01:09] <Guest96154> joe
[01:09] <Guest96154> vino
[01:09] <Guest96154> not video
[01:09] <joeoshawa> or did i read that wrong
[01:09] <FloodBot2> Guest96154: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:09] <maco> nickkontos: you could install krunner if you dont mind having a kde app handle it
[01:09] <joeoshawa> sorry i read it wrong
[01:09] <Guest96154> no worries
[01:09] <Guest96154> sorry for being a douchebag then
[01:09] <zakwilson> People, Guest96154 wants to order wine on the internet.
[01:09] <Guest96154> :)
[01:09] <joeoshawa> my mistake
[01:09] <chovynz> so if I understood correctly, I create a file in /etc/init called mediatomb.conf and in that I write mediatomb -d, and this will run at boottime before anyone logs in?
[01:09] <gpm> maco: maybe they chucked it....closest thing is users and groups
[01:09] <tgp1994> Can anyone tell me how I can have teamviewer start up right when my ubuntu box starts up?
[01:10] <maco> nickkontos: oh....thatd involve installing the full kde workspace... rmph
[01:10] <maco> gpm: used to both be there
[01:10] <Guest96154> no, vino, ya know..vnc for gnome
[01:10] <ekim> I didnt think teamviewer works with linux!  Does it?
[01:10] <gpm> maco: you into kde now or something more minimal?
[01:10] <maco> gpm: kde
[01:10] <tgp1994> ekim: Yup, check teamviewer's site :)
[01:11] <gpm> maco: it's not in there.
[01:11] <maco> gpm: um policykit-1-gnome and policykit-desktop-privileges both installed?
[01:11] <nickkontos> badger32d, avant-window-navigator, see this http://tinyurl.com/4l5mlg7
[01:11] <gpm> maco: yeah
[01:12] <badger32d> Ohhh, yeah. I use awn. Uh, you could try using synapse - its like gnome-do - and you can run commands from it
[01:12] <badger32d> standby for link
[01:12] <maco> gpm: try the good ol' start-typing-policy-and-hitting-tab thing?
[01:13] <badger32d> nickkontos: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/11/synapse-gnome-do-launcher-app-review-ubuntu/ -- this will let you have much of the same use as alt f2 did, and so much more
[01:13] <gpm> whoa a jaka program called policytool
[01:13] <gpm> java
[01:13] <gpm> only match
[01:13] <gpm> crazy
[01:13] <ekim> tgp1994:  thanks I will!
[01:13] <gpm> even for pol
[01:13] <nickkontos> badger32d, yeah, I know thanks, just don't like the looks of it...
[01:14] <badpenguin86> how do i move ppas from one installation to another?
[01:14] <gpm> whatever i'll just post a feature request for policykit and see what happens
[01:14] <gpm> not enough time to keep investigating
[01:14] <chovynz> lol . man kill. Anyone ever think what they were typing in unix?
[01:15] <joeoshawa> so is there a program i can install or a setting somewhere for mouse wheel sensitivity?
[01:15] <ekim> tgp1994:  not seeing on their site where it works with linux.  Gotta link or user manual?
[01:15] <tgp1994> ekim: Uhm, go to teamviewer's site, go to downloads, then click on the Linux button.
[01:16] <badger32d> nickkontos, bummer. I love it, not sure if there is another "slimmer" version that is more like alt-f2. I understand the desire to be rid of gnome-panel though.
[01:16] <joeoshawa> http://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/index.aspx
[01:16] <joeoshawa> for ekim
[01:18] <chovynz> I'm trying to stop a service that is running. How do I go about it? (mediatomb. It gets started by mediatomb -d, which runs the daemon)
[01:19] <chovynz> kill isn't ... more to teh point i dont know how to use kill
[01:20] <nickkontos> badger32d found gmrun - in love :)
[01:21] <blinkjonesy2011> hey
[01:21] <gpm> maco, badger32d, joeoshawa: thanks for help
[01:21] <aflyingturtle> badger left
[01:21] <blinkjonesy2011> never used this before
[01:21] <blinkjonesy2011> is anyone chatting
[01:21] <aflyingturtle> yup
[01:21] <ekim> thanks for the info and link
[01:21] <blinkjonesy2011> r u guys familiar with backtrack
[01:21] <maco> im still digging. polkit-gnome-authorizations.desktop was in polkit-gnome back in karmic...
[01:22] <TomFarr> every think were non update I see oops!
[01:22]  * GeekMan GIDDY i like it thank you
[01:22] <aflyingturtle> anyone know how to connect to a wireless network from terminal?
[01:22] <TomFarr> wform what terminal?
[01:22] <aflyingturtle> console...
[01:22] <TomFarr> terminated?
[01:22] <aflyingturtle> command line...
[01:23] <jrib> aflyingturtle: nmcli
[01:23] <cc123> anyone know off the top of their heads the command to make a user a sudo user? ive been googling it and just see peopel saying to edit the /etc/sudoers file directly, but i seem to recall there's a quick command for it
[01:23] <TomFarr> ipwf
[01:23] <bastidrazor> cc123:  add the user to the admin group.. sudo adduser username admin
[01:23] <TomFarr> aflyingturtle, you nead the ipwf demon
[01:23] <jrib> aflyingturtle: nmcli is a command line interface to network manager...
[01:24] <cc123> bastidrazor, its saying group admin doesn't exist
[01:24] <cc123> just brought up this new box
[01:24] <jrib> cc123: you're likely not using ubuntu then
[01:24] <cc123> it's ubuntu 10.04
[01:24] <jrib> cc123: how did you install it?
[01:24] <cc123> jrib, rackspace cloud
[01:25] <jrib> cc123: then ask them what they did.  Or read your /etc/sudoers and try to play detective-what-did-rackspace-do-to-a-default-ubuntu-install
[01:25] <cc123> how can i see what groups are on my system?
[01:26] <jrib> cc123: getent group
[01:26] <cc123> jrip, there's an adm group
[01:26] <cc123> that's not it?
[01:26] <bastidrazor> cc123: that is for reading some logs
[01:27] <jrib> cc123: that's not relevant to your issue... I'd suggest you just read /etc/sudoers...
[01:28] <cc123> ok
[01:28] <Dangr_> l
[01:28] <Dangr_> clear
[01:29] <cc123> jrib, bastidrazor, got it. it was sudo adduser username sudo
[01:29] <Dangr_> clear
[01:29] <aflyingturtle> is there a way to monitor all the commands that an application does as it does them?
[01:29] <Dangr_> CLEAR
[01:29] <jrib> cc123: on your install, not a standard ubuntu install ;)
[01:30] <cc123> thanks for your help
[01:30] <rtdos> my network card is connected to my network and ifconfig tells me that i have an ip address but nothing can connect to the internet.
[01:30] <Jordan_U> Dangr_: Do you need help with something?
[01:30] <Dangr_> Jordan_U: Haha no I was trying to clear the screen but it wasn't working
[01:31] <aflyingturtle> try /clear
[01:31] <Dangr_> Ah
[01:31] <Dangr_> much better thank you, was missing that
[01:31] <aflyingturtle> lol
[01:31] <aflyingturtle> most commands are all starting with a /
[01:31] <aflyingturtle> i think all of them
[01:32] <Dangr_> Yeah I haven't used IRC in years so I am getting to know it again so to speak
[01:32] <aflyingturtle> aah
[01:33] <wjlafrance> How can you force Ubuntu to redetect it's network hardware?
[01:34] <aflyingturtle> well
[01:34] <aflyingturtle> iwconfig
[01:34] <aflyingturtle> might
[01:34] <aflyingturtle> force it to
[01:34] <aflyingturtle> i think it just scans though. not force it to.
[01:35] <aflyingturtle> does anyone know how to monitor what commands an application does?
[01:35] <rtdos>  my network card is connected to my network and ifconfig tells me that i have an ip address but nothing can connect to the internet. i even rebooted. several times. probably causes?
[01:36] <wooter> aflyingturtle, program debugger
[01:36] <ZykoticK9> rtdos, verify that /etc/resolv.conf has your DNS server's IP address
[01:36] <wjlafrance> rtdos, try this: ping 74.125.95.99
[01:36] <wjlafrance> rtdos, that'll see if you can hit Google's servers
[01:37] <aflyingturtle> wooter: thanks
[01:37] <ZykoticK9> wjlafrance, 8.8.8.8 google's DNS is a lot easier ;)

[01:42] <linoge> hi, where can i download the firmware for b43 wireless card?
[01:42] <linoge> (broadcom)
[01:42] <bazhang> pc gromacs?
[01:42] <devkorcvince> linoge you can try viewing your restricted drivers?
[01:43] <pc> yes Gromacs
[01:43] <bazhang> pc install from the package manager
[01:43] <dsnyders> bazhang, gromacs looks like a program for visualizing protiens
[01:43] <rtdos> Zykotick9: it does
[01:43] <linoge> devkorcvince: mmm, i installed ubuntu minimal and i don't have a gui so i think.... not
[01:43] <pc> gromacs version 3.1.4 in specific
[01:43] <bazhang> dsnyders, not version three though
[01:43] <rtdos> wjlafrance:i can't but when i run ifconfig it tells me that i am recieving data.
[01:43] <ZykoticK9> rtdos, are you able to ping the outside world?  Or beyond your first router?
[01:44] <bazhang> pc what version of ubuntu are you on
[01:44] <rtdos> hold on let me re-check
[01:44] <devkorcvince> linoge try sudo apt-get install broadcom then hit tab
[01:44] <Jordan_U> !broadcom | linoge
[01:44] <linsos> hallo
[01:45] <dsnyders> pc, you can go to a terminal and type in sudo apt-get gromacs
[01:45] <bazhang> +install
[01:45] <dsnyders> Oops.  I hit enter instead of backspace.
[01:45] <pc> ubutu version 10.10
[01:45] <ZykoticK9> dsnyders, that won't install the specific version pc is asking about...
[01:45] <bazhang> pc sudo apt-get install gromacs
[01:45] <linoge> mmm let me se, i would love to download the firmware from windows (which i'm using now) and install through b43-fwcutter as i always have...
[01:45] <bazhang> pc thats not version 3.1.4 though
[01:46] <pc> I saw it
[01:46] <dsnyders> pc, gromacs is distrubuted as source code tarballs.  You'd have to download the 3.1.4 tarball, unpack it, and then compile it.
[01:46] <linsos> Could everyone help me to tell about ssh server
[01:46] <bazhang> Version 4.0.7-3 pc
[01:46] <pc> that was 4,1,7 something
[01:46] <pc> yes i do not need this
[01:46] <bazhang> pc wh y that particular version please explain
[01:46] <jrib> !ssh | linsos
[01:46] <pc> I want 3.1.4 from the website of grmacs
[01:47] <bazhang> pc why
[01:47] <dsnyders> pc, is their something the 3.14 version does, that the latest version doesn't do?
[01:47] <pc> because I have some files I can not open them unless I use 3.1.4
[01:47] <linoge> ok already found the firmware on the page you gave me Jordan_U, thanks so much
[01:47] <sergiunegara> howdy, does anyone know what font is here: http://irssi.org/themefiles/mithru.png ? thanks in advance
[01:48] <Jordan_U> linoge: You're welcome.
[01:48] <coz_> sergiunegara,  mm thatmight  be a bit difficult off hand
[01:48] <coz_> sergiunegara,  let me check my fonts
[01:48] <dsnyders> pc, check http://www.gromacs.org/Downloads/Installation_Instructions
[01:49] <linsos> Can everyone help me to pass web filter like fortiguard ?
[01:49] <bazhang> linsos, pass?
[01:49] <rtdos> ZykoticK9: when i ping googles ip i get a unauthorized message so it seems my privs have been corrupted somehow.
[01:49] <pc> I tried from the website but It just saved in my downlaod file
[01:50] <pc> and I can not set up it as a pogram
[01:50] <ZykoticK9> rtdos, "unauthorized" that an odd message... I have NO idea, best of luck.
[01:50] <Snakkah> Hi, I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 and I'm wondering, do I really NEED the ATI fglrx driver to enable 3D acceleration and use things like Compiz, or can I just opt to not install it?
[01:50] <sergiunegara> coz_: I've tried "what the font" from myfonts.com but it did not give me the right one... :(
[01:51] <xangua> !compile | pc
[01:51] <drunkncrew> so newly joined noob, throwing a wrench in the gears prolly. What exactly would one need an SSH for/
[01:51] <coz_> sergiunegara,   i have mostly default fonts here but for 2  and none of them match although  Americka Sans comes close but not quite the same
[01:51] <pc> I mean i did not work as a program
[01:51] <smallfoot-> drunkncrew, remote administration
[01:51] <bazhang> pc indeed. you need to compile it yourself
[01:51] <bazhang> pc see the link above.
[01:52] <sergiunegara> coz_: thanks anyway for trying to help ^^
[01:52] <coz_> sergiunegara,  it could be a manually installed font....who's screenshot is that?
[01:52] <dsnyders> drunkncrew, ssh allows you to securely connect to another machine.  For example, from work, I can ssh into my home machine and run programs.
[01:52] <FredGeek> hi
[01:52] <pc> thanks I 'll have a look
[01:52] <smallfoot-> well there should be an irc command like !compile http://www.example.com/file.tgz, then bot downloads file, extracts it, compiles it, packages it, and then you can download it and install it
[01:52] <drunkncrew> smallfoot, that makes a bit more sense. remote admin, in the sense of a friend needing help? or remote admin, in that you own your own hardware and need to make changes to it?
[01:53] <FredGeek> why there's no more /proc/pci and /proc/bus/devices on proc filesystem???
[01:53] <smallfoot-> drunkncrew, remote admin that you own a server, and need remotely access it and administrer it
[01:53] <drunkncrew> dsnyders ; Perfectly easily explanation, thank you very much
[01:53] <drunkncrew> smalfoot, thanks again for clarification
[01:54] <smallfoot-> drunkncrew, you install ssh server on your server, then you use ssh client from you desktop to connect and admin
[01:54] <drunkncrew> this is why I love this room, and hell the whole ubuntu community as a whole
[01:54] <dl2agon> finaly got ubuntu install and i give credit it faster then linux i tried in the past ( still know nothing about it but it is faster )
[01:54] <sergiunegara> coz_: it's from irssi themes on their website, theme's name is "mithru"
[01:54] <drunkncrew> everyone willing to take a noob in that area and quickly set them straight
[01:54] <drunkncrew> it's awesome.
[01:55] <niles> which area
[01:55] <coz_> sergiunegara,   ah ok... no indication which font was used?   would it be inside the theme package?
[01:55] <drunkncrew> very few other distro communities are as helpful.
[01:55] <coz_> sergiunegara,  I dont use irssi so I dont know
[01:55] <dsnyders> drunkncrew, ssh is a protocol.  There are various clients and various servers.  If you are trying to connect from a windows machine, I strongly suggest looking into a program called putty.
[01:55] <chd> my wireless adapter wasn't turned on when I booted my laptop and when I turn the physical switch on ubuntu doesn't recognize it. is there a way to manually start that interface?
[01:55] <ascheel> I just finished installing Ubuntu server and while it works fine, the primary monitor does not display anything after installation is complete and it boots to the new primary drive.
[01:55] <Dangr_> Putty is very useful on Windows
[01:56] <Snakkah> Hi, I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 and I'm wondering, do I really NEED the ATI fglrx driver to enable 3D acceleration and use things like Compiz, or can I just opt to not install it?
[01:56] <ascheel> It is booted up, I can find the ip and ssh into it, but it's annoying that I have nothing on the main screen.  no VGA signal.  I also got the same issue when I was trying to isntall ubuntu desktop
[01:56] <niles> chd: yes, /etc/init.d/networking restart
[01:56] <niles> as root
[01:56] <drunkncrew> i mainly use my dual boot netbook with windows 7/Ubuntu 11.04.  and then my desktop dual boot with Ubuntu 10.04 and windoze 7
[01:56] <niles> or dhclient
[01:56] <niles> also as root
[01:57] <Dangr_> drunkncrew: Try checking out the man for ssh too, if that wasn't mentioned before, idk
[01:57] <chd> niles it says "networking stop/waiting"
[01:57] <pc> please anybody is expert in Gromacs ????
[01:58] <niles> chd: try dhclient
[01:58] <pc> I am doing simulation and facing a difficulties
[01:58] <niles> chd: or /etc/init.d/networking start
[01:58] <Aginor> Snakkah: some of the ATI cards are supported with the open source driver, you can also run opengl completely in software but it'll use lots of cpu
[01:59] <sergiunegara> coz_: irssi is a terminal based irc client, that I'm using, but the themes can change only the colors, not the fonts, so it's the font used by that guy for terminal, I guess
[01:59] <ascheel> question about Ubuntu server 10.10.  Fresh installation, it's only Ubuntu Server meaning it's only booting to a CLI anyhow, but the video is not displaying.  It worked just fine during the entire installation of server, but the video is not working at all right now.  Anybody know what I can try to modify to get it to recognize this video adapter/
[01:59] <pc> looking for some tips in simulation ..any advise would be appreciated
[01:59] <chd> "since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an upstart job, you may also use the start(8) utility, e.g. start networking" then "networking stop/waiting"
[01:59] <dl2agon> how can you change a usr password  from shell ?
[01:59] <niles> sergiunegara: are you using gnome-terminal?
[01:59] <dsnyders> drunkncrew, routers, printers, and other network hardware will frequently have ssh or telnet (similar, but unsecure) interface for remote management.
[01:59] <sergiunegara> niles: yep, why?
[02:00] <AndrewMC> ascheel: try #ubuntu-server
[02:00] <niles> well the font can be changed in preferences
[02:00] <ascheel> AndrewMC: thank you
[02:00] <drunkncrew> dsnyders  - thanks alot man, greatful
[02:00] <drunkncrew> i got the idea now.
[02:00] <coz_> sergiunegara,  ah I see,,, yes I know its a terminal based irc client  but wasnt sure about the themes and what is included  thanks :)
[02:00] <niles> chd: what happends when you use dhclient
[02:01] <sergiunegara> coz_: I wasn't sure as well till a minute ago, while executed cat themefile.theme | grep font :D
[02:01] <coz_> :)
[02:02] <dsnyders> Has anyone used putty for linux?
[02:02] <niles> theres a putty for linux?
[02:02] <niles> kk
[02:03] <niles> oops, wrong channel
[02:03] <pc> I have tired used putty but I could not download it
[02:04] <pc> I use it in vista only
[02:04] <smallfoot-> $ sudo apt-get install putty
[02:04] <niles> pc: wget http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty.exe
[02:04] <smallfoot-> linux binaries available
[02:04] <smallfoot-> dont need wine
[02:05] <Aginor> but why?
[02:05] <niles> or just use ssh......
[02:05] <smallfoot-> yes, just use ssh
[02:06] <niles> ssh user@remotehost
[02:06] <ChipCherou> Just had massive crash during reboot and not kinda stuck.  backup server is running now....whats the best way to repair primary server?
[02:06] <niles> eg, ssh niles@niles.mooo.com
[02:06] <dsnyders> Okay,  putty for linux looks pretty much identical to putty for windows.  Good!  I'm unimpressed with minicom.
[02:06] <ChipCherou> *now
[02:06] <ZykoticK9> pc, you really don't need to use "putty" on linux, open a terminal and use "ssh -Y user@server" for ssh with X forwarding as well
[02:06] <sergiunegara> ssh user:password@host
[02:06] <ZykoticK9> sergiunegara, putting you password like that isn't just a great idea, get put in your history file
[02:07] <niles> yes, ssh niles:make my day@niles.mooo.com
[02:07] <ZykoticK9> sergiunegara, s/just/such
[02:07] <pc> I just downloaded this ubuntu and many things I need to check
[02:07] <sergiunegara> ZykoticK9: agree, bad idea %)
[02:07] <ChipCherou> better english.  I just had massive crash during an ubuntu upgrade.  Ubuntu won't fully load anymore.  whats the best way to repair this?
[02:07] <dx_> ?
[02:07] <niles> ChipCherou: I can fix this, one sec
[02:07] <dsnyders> ZykoticK9, It does serial and telnet as well.
[02:08] <pc> even the terminal I do not no how to open it
[02:08] <ZykoticK9> dsnyders, for those uses fine i agree
[02:08] <ZykoticK9> dsnyders, actually telnet is terrible!
[02:08] <dsnyders> ZykoticK9, True.  However, so is minicom
[02:08] <ZykoticK9> dsnyders, are you the nvidia ppa guy?
[02:09] <ZykoticK9> dsnyders, i guess that's dsnyder...
[02:09] <dsnyders> ZykoticK9, no.  Someone else.
[02:10] <niles> ChipCherou: boot while holding shift, select recovery mode, at the recovery menu select netroot, type root password, su usertologinas, startx, right click, create folder, open that folder, navigate to /usr/share/applications, double click Terminal, put screen -S unity
[02:10] <niles> ChipCherou: type unity, hit enter
[02:11] <niles> ChipCherou: close the terminal, if it says its not installed, try gnome-panel
[02:11] <ChipCherou> niles, rebooting now to try...its pretty messed up
[02:11] <dsnyders> Well, pizza's here.  Later folks!
[02:12] <niles> ChipCherou: you have to manually start ssh and apache2 with the commands "service apache2 start" and "/etc/init.d/ssh start" respectively
[02:13] <niles> as root
[02:13] <jrib> niles, ChipCherou: you should be using upstart to start services not init.d in general
[02:13] <pc> how can I use the putty from the terminal ???
[02:14] <niles> jrib: ssh has a problem with the service command, it wont work
[02:14] <jrib> pc: why?
[02:14] <niles> pc: win or linux
[02:14] <pc> linux
[02:14] <jrib> niles: for this specific user?  Because that isn't true in general
[02:14] <ChipCherou> niles, when you say recovery ode...do you mean when selecting kernel?
[02:14] <m1chael> http://dpaste.com/360952/ # i want to use fdisk to use this drive as an ext4 file system.. what does that DOS warning mean?
[02:14] <ChipCherou> *mode
[02:14] <pc> by the way when I want to send to specific person what I do ?
[02:14] <niles> pc: ls /usr/share/applications | grep putty
[02:14] <niles> than start that
[02:15] <niles> jrib: I dont know, it wont work for me or root
[02:16] <ChipCherou> niles, I don't think what you told me will work
[02:16] <niles> it worked for me, i dunno
[02:17] <Descriptioned> how i make my screen stop autolock when im seeing a movie...
[02:17] <Descriptioned> how i make my screen stop autolock when im seeing a movie... it just interupted me from a movie a nice one :@
[02:18] <ChipCherou> niles, normal boot will get me to the login screen but wont give me the fields to login.  recovery mode gets as far as mounting swap successfully then sits.  in both case ctrl+alt+del sucessfully shuts down
[02:18] <niles> ChipCherou: I would say your screwed but keep looking
[02:19] <linsos> Can you talk about free ssh server
[02:19] <Descriptioned> how i make my screen stop autolock when im seeing a movie...
[02:19] <niles> mine is really screwed up, I installed gnome3, or gnome-shell, wich didnt work, than uninstalled it, taking all my .la files with it, and it set update to automaticly remove .la files after update
[02:19] <Cyberfusion> descriptioned did you check screensaver timeout?
[02:20] <Descriptioned> 5min but why when im seeing a move..
[02:20] <Descriptioned> movie..
[02:20] <Madpilot> Descriptioned, which movie player? Totem (the default one) locks out the screensaver...
[02:20] <atul> Hi, I have dual boot machine, 1 with win7 and other is Ubuntu 10.10, I seen Ubuntu Internate is very slow. Any Idea..
[02:20] <Descriptioned> mplayer
[02:21] <Descriptioned> the default.
[02:21] <ChipCherou> Would installing ubuntu over ubuntu fix it?
[02:21] <Alexander> Could somebody help me?
[02:21] <Descriptioned> Madpilot: sorry wrong.. i see from broswer..
[02:21] <niles> ChipCherou: yes
[02:21] <rtdos> when i use the sudo command on another machine i get a "unable to resolve host <hostname>" error. how can i correct this? (i think it is tied to the network issues on the same machine)
[02:21] <Madpilot> Descriptioned, totem is default, not mplayer.
[02:21] <niles> ChipCherou: you would lose all not-backed-up data
[02:21] <Alexander> When I minimize programs to my tray, they dissapear.
[02:22] <Descriptioned> afk removed it :S
[02:22] <niles> Alexander: are you using gnome-panel or unity
[02:22] <Alexander> I think gnome-panel
[02:22] <nejode> ChipCherou, can you get to a recovery mode prompt?
[02:22] <Alexander> I have a stock Ubuntu. :X
[02:22] <niles> Alexander: is there a bar all along the left side with buttons?
[02:22] <fishingkid> After I reboot my system, I have to "restart" /etc/init.d/mdadm in order for the monitoring to work as intended.
[02:23] <ChipCherou> niles, nope... its not freezing...its like it does have the bash files anymore
[02:23] <fishingkid> Any Ideas?
[02:23] <xangua> !panels | Alexander
[02:23] <ChipCherou> niles, *doesn't
[02:23] <Alexander> Wait what do I type?
[02:23] <ChipCherou> nejode, , nope... its not freezing...its like it doesn't have the bash files anymore
[02:23] <niles> ChipCherou: reinstall ubuntu
[02:24] <ChipCherou> niles, I was hoping to run live disk and continue update from wher eit left off
[02:24] <jrib> rtdos: pastebin the contents of /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts
[02:24] <ChipCherou> niles, is that possible?
[02:24] <niles> ubottu: I thought it was gconftool-2
[02:24] <prozac4312> sup guys
[02:24] <Alexander> Xangua, so what do I type?
[02:24] <niles> ChipCherou: I dont think so
[02:24] <Alexander> I'm a little confused.
[02:25] <Alexander> I'm new to Ubuntu.
[02:25] <Cyberfusion> ubottu what is the meaning of life the universe and everything?
[02:25] <nejode> ChipCherou, you can chroot into your filesystem fron the live CD
[02:25] <prozac4312> i have a 2 pin s/pdif cable running from my gtx260 to the internal s/pdif header on my motherboard...audio works fine in windows, but i can't make it work in ubuntu 10.10...any ideas? i posted on the ubuntu forums but got no responses
[02:25] <Alexander> Hey Niles, can you help me?
[02:26] <ChipCherou> nejode, do you know the apt-get command to continue an upgrade?
[02:26] <niles> with what exactly
[02:26] <prozac4312> oh...to clarify i'm using the internal s/pdif because i use hdmi out from my video card to my monitor
[02:26] <niles> oh
[02:26] <niles> oops
[02:26] <nejode> ChipCherou, "apt-get -f install"
[02:26] <erik71usaaa> hi all
[02:26] <prozac4312> no one has any ideas?
[02:26] <ChipCherou> nejode, does this sound about correct? http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-422523.html
[02:26] <Alexander> Does anybody know how to fix the panel? When I minimize something, the program dissapears.
[02:26] <niles> in a terminal type "gnome-panel --replace" and paste what it says
[02:26] <imcd> hi every1
[02:27] <Cyberfusion> prozac4312 did you look on nvidia's website for drivers?
[02:27] <rtdos> ok jrib. brb. (it's on another machine)
[02:27] <niles> Alexander: ^^
[02:27] <erik71usaaa> me im still running 9.04
[02:27] <prozac4312> i've installed the driver yes...but it's only for the video card there's nothing specific for audio
[02:27] <Madpilot> Alexander, did you remove your Window List from the panel by mistake?
[02:28] <Madpilot> Alexander, try Alt+Tab - does that switch between programs?
[02:28] <erik71usaaa> one day ill upgrade
[02:28] <Sargun_Screen> H
[02:28] <imcd> can we ask any questions here plz ?
[02:29] <Cyberfusion> prozac4312 what i mean is that its probably proprietary, the spdif may not be but the hdmi out is
[02:29] <prozac4312> so if i have the driver installed and it's still not working then I'm SOL?
[02:29] <smad> hi
[02:29] <erik71usaaa> everyone says
[02:30] <smad> Jest ktos z Polski?
[02:30] <niles> hi smad
[02:30] <erik71usaaa> 10.10 is more secure than 9.04
[02:30] <rww> !pl | smad
[02:30] <Alexander_> Niles
[02:30] <smad> sorry
[02:30] <Alexander_> Nothing.
[02:30] <Alexander_> :(
[02:30] <dx_> hi
[02:30] <rtdos> jrib: i can't really use pastbin to paste the contents of the files as i have not internet access on the affected machine: hostname is "UB810" and the first to lines of hosts is "127.0.0.1 localhost" & "127.0.1.1 UB810" the remaining lines in hosts are the default for ipv6.
[02:30] <smad> I dont can speak polish hir ?
[02:30] <Cyberfusion> prozac4312 no not necessarily, im just saying that you probably need two parts one to get spdif out and another to get hdcp
[02:30] <nejode> ChipCherou, that's about it... chroot into your filesystem, mount /dev and continue the upgrade
[02:30] <Alexander_> Can somebody help me?
[02:31] <rww> smad: no. English in #ubuntu, Polish in #ubuntu-pl.
[02:31] <niles> Alexander_: nothing spits out into the terminal?
[02:31] <Alexander_> When I minimize things, they dissapear.
[02:31] <erik71usaaa> i wonder if thats only a opinion
[02:31] <Alexander_> Nope.
[02:31] <rtdos> jrib: my modem / router is 192.168.1.1
[02:31] <jrib> rtdos: and « hostname » returns UB810?
[02:31] <rtdos> yes jrib
[02:31] <prozac4312> so if i have the driver installed already what would you suggest?
[02:31] <niles> hi root
[02:31] <ChipCherou> nejode, having problems finding my old disk...you bychance know of a smaller one?
[02:31] <dtcrshr> is there any other app as alternative to recordmydesktop? i got a bunch of errors, that are already in the bug reports for years
[02:31] <rww> !screencast
[02:31] <smad> rww thx ;)
[02:31] <erik71usaaa> nothing but video caqrd issues on ubuntu 10,10
[02:31] <rtdos> jrib, ifconfig says i am connected to the network (even gives me an ip address) but i cannot use my browser or browse the network.
[02:32] <nejode> ChipCherou, smaller one???
[02:32] <imcd> hi every1 - plz am i allowed to ask any question here ?
[02:32] <jrib> rtdos: what does it actually say instead of "<hostname>" in what you pasted?
[02:32] <niles> dtcrshr: or xeyes
[02:32] <ChipCherou> nejode, smaller dvd to download
[02:32] <jrib> rtdos: wait, isn't this the sudo error question?
[02:32] <fishingkid> After I reboot my system, I have to "restart" /etc/init.d/mdadm in order for the monitoring to work as intended. Any Ideas?
[02:33] <nejode> ChipCherou, if you can work command line, there's a mini-iso of about 12 mb
[02:33] <Guest42536> good day all
[02:34] <dtcrshr> ill try that. bad thing is that i need jack to do my video tutorial
[02:34] <dtcrshr> will give a try on those
[02:34] <smad> In polish kanal room is empty :/ and i have problem :/
[02:34] <pdg1> I'm trying to find some more information on creating a persistent boot with an SD card
[02:34] <rtdos> yes, jrib, but i'm wondering if it's correlated with my not being able to get on the internet or browse my network? wonder if its my dns settings? is there a way to reset my dns settings or ?
[02:34] <ChipCherou> nejode, it would be perfect if it has the commands I need (chroot ifconfig, etc...)
[02:34] <paradise67> Hello, is there something as a "NIC array" to allow more network cards in my server? I wan Ubuntu to act as a bridge/switch
[02:34] <Cyberfusion> prozac4312 i know its not a solution but can you use spdif by itself?
[02:34] <erik71usaaa> has the ubuntu resolved splash boot screen problem when the monitor goes black
[02:35] <ChipCherou> nejode, I take back ifconfig, I don't think I need it (it crashed during the installation part)
[02:35] <Cyberfusion> most tv/monitors have a "digital input" orange rca jack for it
[02:35] <fishingkid> pdg1: google linuxliveusbcreator
[02:35] <erik71usaaa> any help appreciated
[02:35] <jrib> rtdos: well can you ping an ip in the outside world?
[02:35] <dtcrshr> niles, cant see the xeyes relation with screencap
[02:35] <rtdos> jrib: typing hostname also returns "UB810"
[02:35] <rtdos> brb, i'll check now jrib\
[02:35] <smad> i have problem and i dont know this is problem with drivers or what, i go to YouTube and pley klip , when i teak to fuul screen then this screen is stop
[02:36] <nejode> ChipCherou, it's fairly easy, it has a text installer and because you download all the packages, your system will be updated
[02:36] <Alexander> Niles
[02:36] <Alexander> Bothing.
[02:36] <bluefox83> how do i locate an unmounted sdcard in terminal? i have to dd something to it and once you unmount it it's kinda hard to find >.>
[02:36] <niles> dtcrshr: oh, I thought it was a screen recorder for the x window system

[02:40] <genewitch> Update manager crashes if my laptop is running on battery power. And by crashes i think i mean it hangs.
[02:40] <JoseeAntonioR> is there someone who uses empathy?
[02:40] <genewitch> forever.
[02:40] <niles> Alexander: reset gnome-panel with gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/panel; killall gnome-panel
[02:40] <pdg1> fishingkid: I'm afraid if i install grub it will forever ruin the expressgate instant on thing
[02:40] <paradise67> smad: as far as I understand you want to share Internet connection? could you explain more?
[02:41] <Alexander>  reset gnome-panel with gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/panel; killall gnome-panel
[02:41] <Alexander> ?
[02:41] <nejode> Alexander: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel »
[02:41] <Alexander> Copy paste that?
[02:41] <Alexander>  gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel
[02:41] <Alexander> ^^this?
[02:41] <niles> for the 3rd time, yes
[02:41] <Alexander> Sorry.
[02:41] <Alexander> Thanks!!! :DDD
[02:42] <niles> is it working, you should need to reboot
[02:42] <niles> or run gnome-panel --replace &
[02:42] <fishingkid> pdg1: So you do use the features of express gate?
[02:42] <smad> paradise67 ok , i whant share me internet with secend computer but i must confiugure  ubuntu in laptop too share internet to secend computer , when i connect in cable

[02:42] <niles> ok
[02:43] <Alexander> Thanks! :D
[02:43] <pdg1> fishingkid: no... but i'm pretty sure it's compressed as a squashfs file somewhere in windows and i want to find out if i could replace it with android for x86
[02:43] <rww> niles: gnome-panel has no --replace switch. You may be thinking of metacity or compiz or something.
[02:43] <niles> oh, sorry
[02:43] <niles> probally unity
[02:43] <pdg1> fishingkid: goofy... i know
[02:44] <dtcrshr> what annoys me is that recordmydesktop command line entryies just dont work at all, but is the perfect software to do what i need, jack inputs, size selections.. :( very sad
[02:44] <fishingkid> pdg1: yes indeed well that's over my head.
[02:44] <smad> paradise67 sorry for speaking English but it's better than writing
[02:44] <dtcrshr> xvidcap wont work with jack
[02:44] <bots> anyone know what could be causing this error when I try running certain apps:
[02:44] <bots> Inconsistency detected by ld.so: ../sysdeps/i386/dl-machine.h:
[02:44] <dtcrshr> pyvnc2swf also
[02:44] <paradise67> smad: well, I'm not a network expert but you want to configure IP forwarding to allow your linux act as a router, something in relation with sysctl.conf if I remember
[02:45] <pdg1> fishingkid: so what did u say i should google?
[02:45] <superlinkx> I want to run ubuntu studio next to my current ubuntu install. Problem is, I don't want it to replace my current grub setup. What would be the best way to install any linux next to my current installation without installing their own boot manager?
[02:45] <fishingkid> pdg1: google "linuxliveusb creator" it creates a bootable OS with persistence
[02:45] <fishingkid> After I reboot my system, I have to "restart" /etc/init.d/mdadm in order for the monitoring to work as intended. Any Ideas?

[03:10] <snypzz> still trying to get displaylink working..
[03:11] <snypzz> on ubuntu 10.10
[03:13] <snypzz> had to go back to windows7 running ubuntu 10.10 in virtualbox because I could not get diplaylink working...
[03:13] <KM0201> smad: thats ridiculous.
[03:14] <snypzz> I want my UBUNTU 10.10
[03:14] <smad> what?
[03:14] <KM0201> about 10.04 being better than 10.10...
[03:15] <smad> for me is better 10.04
[03:15] <KM0201> smad: for you... so why would you tell soemone to remove 10.10 and install 10.04?
[03:15] <Guest15683> I am trying to block a connection using Firestarter.  I can see the active connection, and even after i type the information into the "outbound traffic policy" the service is still connected.
[03:17] <neothecat> hello.  i just installed 10.10 desktop w/ gnome.   how come whenever the ctrl key comes up after being pressed, there is an animated target that comes under the cursor?
[03:17] <smad> I told him my opinion that Ubuntu is better 10.04. Could you speak up and express his own opinion and to help him
[03:17] <noisewaterphd_1> Guest15683: I don't know what firestarter is, but I'm assuming you need to restart the service. If it's a front end to iptables then restart iptables
[03:17] <Vixie> neothecat: you have locate cursor turned on
[03:17] <Vixie> *locate pointer
[03:17] <Vixie> you can turn it off in mouse preferences

[03:43] <iflema> Balmung: booted with livecd, can you wipe drive/see partitions?
[03:43] <Niles|iPod> Find / *.log|grep .log
[03:43] <Balmung> iflema no the partition listing is blank....
[03:44] <Detection> if it is an ASUS board, goto asus support driver site, get the sata controller driver, stick it extracted onto a fat32 flashdrive, start windows 7 setup, when it says browse, point it to the flash drive
[03:44] <iflema> Balmung: =/
[03:44] <Balmung> its a Hp compaq presario
[03:44] <santhosh> thank you
[03:44] <Detection> ok well goto HP site

[03:45] <daniel32708> Hello. I have a Toshiba 3D ready laptop, with a Geforce 350M.  I already installed and I am running it, the latest nvidia driver 270.18, which is a beta. I cant find any google help.... Do you guys know if it is possible to enable 3d here? to use with the nvidia 3d vision glasses ?    THx!!!!
[03:45] <Balmung> ok will do ill look for it thanks detection
[03:45] <santhosh> thank you niles
[03:45] <Detection> ok good luck
[03:45] <Niles|iPod> santhosh: Oh and run that as root
[03:45] <JRC> has anyone used backtrack
[03:46] <rww> JRC: #backtrack-linux have, presumably
[03:46] <santhosh> sure niles
[03:46] <KM0201> rww: lol, win
[03:46] <syddraf> rww: well done
[03:47]  * KM0201 thinks a public service announcement should be put out by the channel, to avoid Wubi
[03:47] <SSShvb> noisewaterphd_1: could you please write an example how to do  it ?
[03:47] <Niles|iPod> Why avoid wubi?
[03:48] <Unguided> Hello all. Can someone please tell me what the recommended partition size for root and swap partition is for a new install please?
[03:48] <subcool> Iflema I cant mount the file system
[03:48] <KM0201> Niles|iPod: lol, 3rd system in 2 days i've dealt w/ that was messed up because of it.
[03:49] <syddraf> Unguided: I usually do 20gigs for linux just to give it plenty of breathing room. and as far as I know, swap should be equal to the size of your RAM, but I'm not 100% sure on that one.
[03:49] <KM0201> syddraf: 1.5-2x
[03:50] <Balmung> did Detection leave?
[03:50] <syddraf> KM0201: Good to know, thanks for the info.
[03:50] <Unguided> Syddraf and Km0201: thank you for the information.
[03:51] <Balmung> ifelma did you understand what detection was talking about earlier ?
[03:51] <iflema> subcool  I have never had to install winblows and then recover linux...
[03:51] <subcool> thanks for the link I'll be back later
[03:52] <daniel32708> Swap is reccomended to be twice the RAM,  but if thats not possible make it at least the same as RAM
[03:52] <neothecat> i manually download netbeans 6.9.1.  but when i switch between openjdk and sun jdk, netbeans still uses the same jdk i had when i installed it.  does anyone know how to use the systems default jdk with netbeans?
[03:52] <EnigmaticCoder> cd --help shows cd [-L|-P] what do the options do?
[03:54] <Niles|iPod> Man cd
[03:54] <EnigmaticCoder> Doesn
[03:54] <EnigmaticCoder> Doesn't have a manual
[03:55] <Niles|iPod> Don't know
[03:55] <Niles|iPod> Try em'
[03:55] <iflema> !tab | Balmung
[03:55] <syddraf> Tried em
[03:55] <syddraf> No visible difference....
[03:55] <EnigmaticCoder> em'?
[03:55] <iflema> Balmung sort of... winblows talk =)
[03:55] <syddraf> -L and -P
[03:55] <Niles|iPod> Them
[03:55] <rww> EnigmaticCoder: try 'help cd'
[03:56] <Balmung> iflema well I am just having trouble actually finding that file he said, I have a usb and such.
[03:56] <EnigmaticCoder> Ah, that worked
[03:56] <rww> EnigmaticCoder: cd is a builtin shell command, so it uses bash's internal help system instead of manpages.
[03:56] <SSShvb> how to check    how many threads has a process ?
[03:56] <EnigmaticCoder> Always learning new things in linux :)
[03:56] <iflema> Balmung /join ##windows maybe...
[03:58] <linoge> hi, what's the name of this so usefull program that installs drivers for you? the one that is shipped with ubuntu
[03:59] <rww> linoge: jockey
[03:59] <linoge> thanks
[03:59] <smallfoot-> system->admin->additional drivers
[03:59] <bluefox83> ok, i need some help with dd, it keeps making my card go invisible and NOT mount when i put it in...it might as well be broken...except that some devices i have can see it but not boot off the .img i dd'd to it
[03:59] <smallfoot-> jockey-gtk
[03:59] <linoge> yep
[04:00] <linoge> i was wondering, as i don't use gnome nor kde but dwm, and really, it saves time
[04:00] <EnigmaticCoder> Should I name my bash script: script.bash or script.sh?
[04:00] <RubyTN> hey guys I was just using my wireless internet, and then it just kicked me off and when I click on the wireless icon in  the toolbar the enable wireless text is greyed out, how can I enable it again or get it working?
[04:01] <SegankuZ> a .sh suffix is not terribly unusual even if it's a bash script
[04:01] <KM0201> RubyTN: whats your wireless device?
[04:01] <smallfoot-> EnigmaticCoder, script.sh
[04:01] <ascheel> Where does apt-get store the files it downloads prior to dpkg?
[04:01] <EnigmaticCoder> smallfoot-: ty
[04:01] <hblount> hi. anyone here use xfburn? i am trying to blank a cdrw but it says "cannot access drive (it might be in use)"
[04:02] <smallfoot-> EnigmaticCoder, but if its a bash script, then it should have a bash shebang at the top, the first line
[04:02] <smallfoot-> like #!/bin/bash
[04:02] <smallfoot-> but if its a shell script that dont use bashisms then it  should be #!/bin/sh
[04:03] <RubyTN> KM0201:  I have an atheros AR9285
[04:03] <KM0201> RubyTN: did you just upgrae your kernel?
[04:04] <RubyTN> KM0201:  maybe, I  did an upgrade earlier today!
[04:04] <RubyTN> how would that affect things and how can I repair it?
[04:04] <RubyTN> or rather an update
[04:04] <KM0201> RubyTN: try looking at this.  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1650507
[04:05] <linoge> does jockey-text displays some kind of progress bar while downloading or it just stays blank?
[04:08] <SSShvb> how to check    how many threads has a process ?
[04:09] <linoge> if i install nvidia-current from aptitude it's the same as installing it from jockey right?
[04:09] <RubyTN> KM0201:  thanks, that fixed it
[04:10] <KM0201> RubyTN: great....

[04:10] <daniel32708> Hello. I have a Toshiba 3D ready laptop, with a Geforce 350M.  I already installed and I am running it, the latest nvidia driver 270.18, which is a beta. Anyways, Do you guys know if it is possible to enable 3d here? to use with the nvidia 3d vision glasses ?    THx!!!!
[04:10] <KM0201> RubyTN: if i had to guess, it "disabled" during an update, and you simply had to enable it again... now why that happened, will remain the mystery wrapped in a riddle
[04:10] <michael_> hey all.  i installed ubuntu on this dell laptop, and grub doesn't 'see' the windows install.  i've never had this happen before.  update-grub2 didn't find it either - what can i do?
[04:11] <leapy0yo> what is a good email program for console?
[04:11] <leapy0yo> or command line
[04:11] <linoge> leapy0yo: mutt
[04:12] <linoge> :)
[04:12] <rtdos> i have disabled the graphical login so that i'm starting xserver manually, how do i use startx to specify which desktop i want to use: KDE or GNOME?
[04:13] <SegankuZ> mutt > all
[04:14] <radsciguy> exit
[04:17] <michael_> anyone?  i don't understand what to do if GRUB doesn't find windows... it always has found windows.
[04:18] <Unguided> I have an older Gateway laptop. it has a 2.4ghz proc with a 40gb HD and 512mb ram. Can anyone give me a recommendation on how to partition the HD please? I know that the swap partition should be 2x the ram.
[04:18] <daniel32708> michael_: are you sure u didnt delete the win partition?
[04:18] <xangua> Unguided: or you can leave the ubuntu installer to do it
[04:18] <linoge> Unguided: root shall not be larger than 7 GB, home would take the rest
[04:18] <michael_> daniel32708, positive.  i can still mount/see it in ubuntu.
[04:18] <fridgerator> in my FIrestarter events tab, about 11 or 12 times a minute i'm seeing a blocked connection from 3 different ip addresses, is this normal?
[04:19] <Unguided> linoge: thank you.
[04:19] <linoge> :)
[04:19] <daniel32708> michael_:   try grub from a live cd and check if it can see the win partition
[04:19] <Unguided> xangua: thank you also
[04:19] <michael_> daniel32708, fdisk -l confirms there's still 1 NTFS partition.
[04:19] <daniel32708> or unistall and reinstall grub
[04:19] <michael_> daniel32708, update-grub2...?  not the same thing?
[04:20] <fridgerator> here is the pastebin of my events tab: http://pastebin.com/5f65ECY9
[04:20] <daniel32708> michael_: i would remove it compoletely using synaptic, and then reinstall it
[04:20] <smartwool> how do you get  a fortran file from desktop to run in the terminal?
[04:20] <daniel32708> michael_: grub has some weird bugs
[04:20] <NoobUntu> What is the best application to use to run windows native programs?
[04:20] <michael_> daniel32708, i've installed ubuntu tons of times and never had this happen
[04:20] <daniel32708>  NoobUntu: windows xp within a virtual machine,   or wine
[04:20] <leapy0yo> i am installing mutt and it asks about postfix but i use gmail not postfix... postfix is for business right
[04:21] <KM0201> michael_: me either...
[04:21] <KM0201> !grub2 | michael_ i would try reinstalling grub from the live cd(like you lost it after installing windows) and see if it picks up windows
[04:21] <daniel32708> michael_:  yeah thats really weird... what do u want to do btw?
[04:21] <michael_> daniel32708, well this isn't my laptop.  i just want him to be able to get back to windows in addition to booting ubuntu.
[04:22] <leapy0yo> mutt asks for postfix configuration...is there a omre updated console program... maybe one that uses imap instead of postfix?
[04:22] <michael_> i guess i'll boot back from my liveusb key and reinstall grub then...
[04:22] <daniel32708> michael_:  ok, yeah i think you should take ubottu's advice
[04:22] <sacarlson> SSShvb:  is this what your looking for ps uH p <PID_OF_U_PROCESS> | wc -l   ;  example find process number of firefox-bin and use that in this line and I see 13 returned
[04:22] <xio91> how do i configure wpa with the command line? is there no way to do it without editing a file?
[04:23] <SSShvb> sacarlson: thanks a lot
[04:25] <leapy0yo> is there a way to commandline send....?
[04:25] <leapy0yo> does mutt do that?
[04:25] <sagarchalise> hi, is there a way to mount the iso in hardrive to boot as live cd in the same computer
[04:25] <SegankuZ> echo howdy | mailx -s "this is a subject line" user@test.com
[04:25] <sagarchalise> my ubuntu takes me to initramfs on boot
[04:27] <sacarlson> sagarchalise: yes you can create a grub2 entry that will mount and boot an iso file example seen here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1288604

[04:29] <smallfoot-> unreturned, you cant, you only get it if you study at university

[04:30] <jiohdi> I hit some combo of keys and now gnome does not recognize my keyboard, what do I do to fix it?
[04:30] <cr1990> Whenever I either restart or shutdown my machine (Ubuntu Server 10.04), both my ethernet cards are recognized by the system, but I can neither access the internet or ssh into the server
[04:30] <sacarlson> cr1990: only time you need a firewall is if you want different subnets to have access to different things,  if you don't want anything to access it just close the service that is listening on the port
[04:30] <rollman> will ubuntu work with my ipad?
[04:30] <RubyTN> hey guys still having issues with my wireless connection, it is always disablaed and I don't have the ability to enable it.  when I view the NetworkManager.state file, wireless is set to false.  when I change it to true, save and then restart, it reverts to false.  any ideas?
[04:30] <rww> !ot | unreturned
[04:30] <aflyingturtle> hey
[04:30] <Roasted> has anybody noticed ubuntu get slower over time? I find it takes longer for my desktop to show up on my laptop when I log in. once in, its wicked fast though as always. just odd it has gotten slower but ONLY for the login process.
[04:30] <cr1990> I believe I did it by accident (long story).
[04:30] <unreturned> ubotu, ok
[04:30] <aflyingturtle> so i know that the command to start the GUI is startx
[04:30] <aflyingturtle> is there a command to stop the gui?
[04:30] <hunterkasy> smallfoot-_ I figured it was used to block those, but I was wondering what list is used
[04:31] <xio91> unreturned: some Australian edu offers them to non-students free...
[04:31] <cr1990> DHCP is successful, ip route is successful, ipconfig shows eth1 and eth0 working properly

[04:31] <rollman> Roasted: i don't have that problem mines seems faster now

[04:31] <unreturned> peoples, who setup InterWrite Board on Ubuntu? My problem with gtco bluetooth pads
[04:31] <xio91> unreturned: you might tell me what you are doing though ... i suspect i know.. private msg me. i have a solution for you.
[04:31] <RubyTN> never mind, figured it out
[04:32] <sacarlson> aflyingturtle: I think it can be normaly shutdown by killing gdm
[04:32] <cr1990> when I restart /etc/init.d/networking, I can all of a sudden access the internet
[04:32] <aflyingturtle> sacarlson so look at the activity manager and kill gdm?
[04:32] <cr1990> I truly don't understand what's going on
[04:33] <unreturned> xio91, sorry, i dont know how to to private msg you...))) first connect to irc with irssi
[04:33] <amit> facebook and yahoo doesnot logout and also mail from yahoo didn't sent
[04:33] <amit> ?
[04:33] <sacarlson> aflyingturtle: you could try ps -A  and see if gdm is running then try killall gdm  I guess,  I'm not sure what that will do
[04:34] <rollman> hey bottu is there a beginner channel this is moving way to fast now
[04:34] <Chr|s> how do I have Thunderbird show up in the indicator applet instead of Evolution? I have already uninstalled evolution
[04:34] <the_pharoah> yoooo
[04:34] <FloatingGoat> what do i add to the repo's to get java om 10.10
[04:34] <gpc> rollman: #ubuntu-beginners
[04:34] <rollman> thx
[04:34] <xangua> !java | FloatingGoat
[04:35] <Crisco> Java isn't already on there?
[04:35] <Crisco> wow things have changed
[04:35] <xangua> Chr|s: i believe i saw hot to do that on omg!ubuntu! or webupd8 blog
[04:35] <amit> my facebook and yahoo mail account didn't logout? why it happens always
[04:35] <cr1990> @sacarlson: in an attempt to get back the original firewall scripts, I uninstalled and reinstalled iptables and ufw
[04:35] <aflyingturtle> sacarlson: theres gdm-binary and gdm-simple-slav
[04:35] <xangua> amit: no idea what are you trying to say
[04:35] <cr1990> I ran a script which caused the problems to start
[04:36] <Crisco> so why don't the Ubuntu repos have Java 1.6.0_22?
[04:37] <aflyingturtle> they shud
[04:37] <aflyingturtle> well
[04:37] <aflyingturtle> at least i think they do
[04:37]  * cr1990 prob has no choice but to reinstall due to a script that messed up his settings in a way he can't figure out :/
[04:37]  * KM0201 recommends cr1990 not use that script again after reinstalling
[04:37] <Crisco> aflyingturtle: I've tried everything but installing with an RPM or from source
[04:38] <arrrghhh> hey all.  i have that dell laptop that GRUB isn't picking up on win7
[04:38] <arrrghhh> i just reinstalled grub
[04:38] <Crisco> hmm
[04:38] <cr1990> well yea, but I wish I knew what was wrong at least
[04:38] <FloatingGoat> xangua: thanks a bunch home dawg, later
[04:38] <arrrghhh> rebooted, did the update-grub... and still no windows in the boot menu.
[04:38] <Crisco> what did you install first?
[04:38] <Crisco> oh...
[04:38] <Crisco> I had that problem
[04:38] <bluefox83> i need some help with an sdcard
[04:38] <bluefox83> >.>
[04:38] <Crisco> did you delete a recover partition? that's what I did >_>
[04:38] <KM0201> arrrghhh: that is weird.... did you install grub to the MBR, or to a /boot
[04:39] <sacarlson> aflyingturtle: I see a process gnome-session that might wipe out most of your X sessions
[04:39] <rtdos> i have disabled the graphical login so that i'm starting xserver manually, how do i use startx to specify which desktop i want to use: KDE or GNOME?
[04:39] <Chr|s> xangua I think you are right. I think that is where I found it before. thanks for the info
[04:39] <sacarlson> aflyingturtle: I'm not sure
[04:39] <arrrghhh> KM0201, mbr
[04:39] <Glu> I need to delete a file by inode number, but the file has 0000 permissions, any suggestions? Im using a cron job to accomplish commands
[04:39] <Crisco> arrrghhh: did you delete any partitions?
[04:39] <aflyingturtle> sacarlson: just go for either one?
[04:39] <KM0201> arrrghhh: thats a strange one
[04:39] <dw-> so i pressed some weird keyboard combination in Firefox and all of a sudden my whole desktop has its colours inverted... what are the keys to get it back? lol
[04:40] <arrrghhh> Crisco, there were three.  i removed a recovery partition... maybe that was it?  that wasn't the boot partition tho, it's not where windows is installed.
[04:40] <Crisco> yeah
[04:40] <aflyingturtle> dw-:do you have advanced compiz installed?
[04:40] <Crisco> that was it :P
[04:40] <Crisco> I did that too to my dell laptop
[04:40] <sacarlson> aflyingturtle: if you hit the top they will all fall
[04:40] <arrrghhh> Crisco, i've done this before without this problem.
[04:40] <Crisco> did the exact same thing
[04:40] <dw-> aflyingturtle: dunno
[04:40] <evilvish> dw-: check compiz settings
[04:40] <dw-> evilvish: k
[04:40] <Crisco> arrrghhh: what model is it?
[04:40] <arrrghhh> Crisco, how can i fix it?  windows is still installed
[04:40] <administrator_> 456
[04:40] <arrrghhh> Crisco, inspiron n4010
[04:40] <aflyingturtle> sacarlson: so just hit one out?
[04:40] <cr1990> Does anyone know what would cause a network card to be recognized by ubuntu, and a DHCP router, yet all attempts to connect to the internet fail anyway?
[04:40] <Crisco> well, I just decided to use Linux only
[04:40] <cr1990> ifconfig shows that the card is working
[04:40] <Crisco> but I do have it in a VM
[04:40] <administrator_> 好
[04:40] <dw-> ok... alt-f2 compiz solved it
[04:40] <dw-> lol
[04:40] <dw-> thx
[04:41] <aflyingturtle> sacarlson: I'll hit out the binary. It sounds more important
[04:41] <Crisco> the only thing I can think of is to reinstall arrrghhh I tried everything
[04:41] <sacarlson> aflyingturtle: experiment at your own risk,  just start to kill and see what happens,  maybe in a virtualbox session that won't damage anything
[04:41] <administrator_> 不会
[04:41] <gunndawg> Hey folks, how do I get rid of all the outdated verions of the ubuntu kernel in my grub ?
[04:41] <arrrghhh> Crisco, fawk, seriously!??!
[04:41] <gunndawg> it keeps adding more to my grub menu
[04:41] <arrrghhh> gunndawg, delete them in /boot and update-grub
[04:41] <Crisco> arrrghhh: well, atleast that's what happened with my Inspiron 1545
[04:41] <gunndawg> thx arrrghhh, I'll look for them
[04:41] <arrrghhh> Crisco, oh noes.  this isn't my laptop.
[04:41] <Crisco> aaronyy: that's some nice IPv5
[04:42] <Crisco> *6
[04:42] <arrrghhh> lol @ipv5
[04:42] <Crisco> arrrghhh: well, if you have an external you could backup your stuff then reload it
[04:42] <Crisco> or you could try fixing the MBR from a windows install disc
[04:42] <arrrghhh> Crisco, hrm.  i'd really prefer to avoid that.  i think i'll try to add a manual grub entry.
[04:42] <Crisco> lol tried that
[04:43] <sacarlson> cr1990: ok so pastebin us sudo iptables -L
[04:43] <Crisco> came up with a  "can't find bootloader" error or something like that
[04:43] <arrrghhh> Crisco, so what about blowing up the mbr thru the windows recovery disc, then reinstalling grub?
[04:43] <Crisco> arrrghhh: that's what I meant
[04:43] <Crisco> it didn't work for me
[04:43] <aflyingturtle> sacarlson: That was weird. Left me with a blinking cursor that wouldn't let me type anything. Reacted to the power button though and turned off succesfully
[04:43] <Crisco> but you might have more luck
[04:43] <arrrghhh> Crisco, that didn't work?  oh man.
[04:43] <gunndawg> arrrghhh do I delete the .gz files or the text files in /boot ?
[04:43] <Jon--> Need to take .one format and convert it to be readable (doesn't have to be editable, pdf works) in Ubuntu. Easiest way? Possible?
[04:44] <Crisco> probably because I'm more used to bash than cmd
[04:44] <sacarlson> aflyingturtle: I knew I could break something
[04:44] <Crisco> so I was really confused
[04:44] <arrrghhh> gunndawg, i just find the file names and do rm *2.6.xx*
[04:44] <aflyingturtle> sacarlson: I think its ok. Cause it reacted to power off succesfully.
[04:44] <arrrghhh> gunndawg, just be *VERY* careful to not delete the newest kernel!
[04:44] <sacarlson> aflyingturtle: maybe before you close it you should just try <alt><ctl> +f2
[04:44] <cr1990> h/o one second sacarlson (sorry dont remember the reply IRC command)
[04:44] <gunndawg> arrrghhh, thats what I am worried about
[04:44] <aflyingturtle> sacarlson whats that supposed to do?
[04:45] <arrrghhh> gunndawg, find the one with the highest number :P
[04:45] <sacarlson> aflyingturtle: that will put you at a none graphic console
[04:45] <Jon--> Need to take .one format and convert it to be readable (doesn't have to be editable, pdf works) in Ubuntu. Easiest way? Possible?
[04:45] <gunndawg> arrrghhh, ok
[04:45] <NoobUntu> How do I set my permission level to owner?
[04:45] <Jon--> NoobUntu: Do you mean to root?
[04:46] <Jon--> NoobUntu: Or from root down to the owner?
[04:46] <sacarlson> aflyingturtle: <alt><ctl> + f7 should return you to your X session
[04:46] <unreturned> what the best irc client with gui on ubuntu?
[04:46] <xangua> unreturned: the one you like
[04:47] <sacarlson> sorry I got to go eat breakfast be back in 15 min
[04:47] <aflyingturtle> sacarlson: WORKED. thank you so much. have been trying to figure this out for ages
[04:47] <jiohdi> unreturned: x-chat and konversation are good
[04:47]  * Crisco uses X-chat
[04:47] <unreturned> jiohdi, thx i`m try it
[04:47] <gunndawg> arrrghhh the newest version is 2.6.35.25
[04:47] <unreturned> пинг пинг
[04:48] <arrrghhh> gunndawg, so delete all other entires basically
[04:48] <unreturned> ух ты, здесь и русский пашет))
[04:48] <maod> anyone know if it's possible to pipe a tty virtual console into a file?  (this is for lxc containers, but could be applicable anywhere...)
[04:48] <gunndawg> arrrghhh so anything that isnt 2.6.35.25 I can get rid of i ?
[04:48] <Jon--> Can non-root level get write access to a root file without chown down to their level?
[04:48] <arrrghhh> gunndawg, just delete the stuff that has 2.6.xxx in it.  but NOT anything that has 2.6.35.25.
[04:49] <cr1990> sorry, that did not work as intended. My mistake
[04:49] <gunndawg> arrrghhh ok
[04:49] <arrrghhh> gunndawg, if you're worried, pastebin ls /boot
[04:49] <arrrghhh> gunndawg, and i'll give you a command (or a couple of commands) to clean it up.
[04:49] <Jon--> Can non-root level get write access to a root file without chown down to their level?  [come on it's easy question]
[04:50] <Jon--> Basically asking if chmod if sufficent to allow r/w from user on a currently read-only file.
[04:50] <gunndawg> arrrghhh doesnt give me permission to remove them
[04:51] <arrrghhh> gunndawg, sudo?
[04:51] <gunndawg> arrrghhh no im just using rm inside the /boot dir
[04:52] <}dec3pti0n{> hello
[04:53] <arrrghhh> gunndawg, i'm saying use sudo dude...
[04:53] <gunndawg> arrrghhh I am rather new to linux so pardon me
[04:53] <arrrghhh> gunndawg, no worries
[04:53] <gunndawg> so sudo apt-get remove ?
[04:53] <arrrghhh> gunndawg, that's for removing software.
[04:53] <gunndawg> I tried that inside the /boot dir and said it couldnt find any package named that
[04:53] <gunndawg> oh ok
[04:53] <arrrghhh> gunndawg, pastebin ls /boot
[04:54] <gunndawg> ok
[04:54] <arrrghhh> gunndawg, basically type 'ls /boot' at a prompt and pastebin the result
[04:54] <rww> arrrghhh: Is there any particular reason you're advising to delete files out of /boot directly instead of just removing the relevant packages?
[04:54] <arrrghhh> rww, is there a better way?  i just rm the stuff in boot and do update-grub.
[04:55] <gunndawg> arrrghhh, http://pastebin.com/MfaWHZVY
[04:55] <rww> arrrghhh: yes. Kernel packages are named linux-image-2.6.XX-YY-generic (assuming one's using the -generic kernel). Remove the ones not being used...
[04:56] <gunndawg> every time kernel updates it keeps adding another boot option to my grb, hope I can get this sorted
[04:56] <arrrghhh> rww, ha i didn't realize it was that easy.
[04:56] <gunndawg> I dont know which ones to remove or how to remove them, did I mention I was new here, heh
[04:57] <arrrghhh> gunndawg, i guess there's a better way.  "sudo apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.35-22-generic linux-image-2.6.35-24-generic"
[04:57] <gunndawg> ah ok
[04:58] <rww> !info linux-image-generic
[04:58] <gunndawg> ok it got rid of both of those
[04:58] <rww> ah. guess they came out with a new version since my last package update.
[04:58] <arrrghhh> gunndawg, then sudo update-grub.  you're done.
[04:58] <rww> the package removal also triggers update-grub ;)
[04:58] <arrrghhh> it probably already did that for you actually.
[04:58] <arrrghhh> yea lol i just thought that.
[04:58] <gunndawg> guess I should restart and see if they are still in my grub or not, heh
[04:59] <arrrghhh> gunndawg, yea just reboot.  forget that update-grub command :P
[04:59] <gunndawg> already did it
[04:59] <gunndawg> oh well
[04:59] <gunndawg> lol brb
[05:00] <superglados> anybody know how to change the mouse speed for a laptop touchpad?

[05:00] <heatxsink> anyone know of open office alternatives?
[05:01] <arrrghhh> gunndawg, np.  thanks to rww for pointing out that i like to do things the hard way :P
[05:01] <jiohdi> heatxsink: libre
[05:01] <daniel32708> heatxsink: openoffice is old, now it is  libreoffice
[05:01] <daniel32708> libreoffice is the default for 11.04
[05:01] <gunndawg> arrrghhh how often do they update the kernel so I know how often I need to do that ?
[05:01] <soreau> superglados: Try sys>prefs>mouse
[05:01] <arrrghhh> gunndawg, i don't think that's on a regular schedule... not sure.
[05:01] <arrrghhh> every couple of months i think.
[05:01] <gunndawg> oh alright
[05:02] <soreau> aniWhat does that have to do with ubuntu?
[05:02] <superglados> Soreau: doesn't effect touchpads, so nothing changes.
[05:02] <gunndawg> learn something new every day over here. So far all I have really done with linux is write a few of my own shell scripts
[05:02] <gunndawg> I am a programmer, though new to linux
[05:02] <leapy0yo> libreoffice looks like a different developmnent than openoffice... that is seperate
[05:03] <cafe_bing> hi,I have a little trouble with upstart.I want to make  stardict run automatic after poweron. But i did not find the event emit starting stardict.
[05:03] <cafe_bing> start on runlevel [2345]
[05:04] <cafe_bing> the result is (stardict:848): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0
[05:04] <rtdos> leapy0yo: i think libreoffice will be included in the next release of ubuntu (unfortunately i'm on a different machine otherwise i'd share the link)
[05:05] <rww> !libreoffice
[05:05] <cafe_bing> the event should be "start on starting Xserver" ?
[05:05] <cdybeijing> Hi all, I'm having an issue that I can't seem to figure out... running lucid... my Rhythmbox is opening itself up, and activating it's own window on my screen constantly... even when I minimize or try to close the program, it will pop back up again in 5 seconds or so... is this a known bug?
[05:05] <cafe_bing> where can i find that?
[05:06] <amit> plz help me why i cannot logout to my yahoo or facebook account  on my system while gmail doesnot give such problem? help me
[05:06] <salmon> so i just installed skype, as the canoical page suguested i installed pavcontroll or whatever it's called, im using a usb head set, i did the test call and when it played back my voice all i heard was static, any suggestions?
[05:07] <rww> cafe_bing: If you're looking to start a GUI program after Xorg starts, upstart is not the best way to do it. Use your desktop environment's session manager (e.g. System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications in GNOME).
[05:07] <arrrghhh> Crisco, lol when you tried to restore win7 did it basically say you have no OSes installed?
[05:07] <cdybeijing> anyone have any insight on my rhythmbox problem?
[05:07] <amit> also on typing yahoo.com the browser doesnot opens the page. i have to go to yahoo login page through google
[05:08] <Crisco> arrrghhh: no, I just didn't know how to do it
[05:08] <Crisco> and I don't think I'm going to go back
[05:09] <amit> no answer?
[05:09] <Crisco> cause Linux is too amazing to go back to windows :P
[05:09] <amit> ????
[05:09] <arrrghhh> yea.  my neighbor is freakin out that his windows is gone lol
[05:09] <salmon>  so i just installed skype, as the canoical page suguested i installed pavcontroll or whatever it's called, im using a usb head set, i did the test call and when it played back my voice all i heard was static, any suggestions?
[05:10] <gunndawg> I am loving WeeChat, so much better than Xchat
[05:10] <cafe_bing> rww: thank you !
[05:11] <Crisco> arrrghhh: tell him that you can back up his data and restore it if it doesn't work
[05:12] <Guest25428> weechat??
[05:12] <arrrghhh> Crisco, so reinstall windows, then recover GRUB?
[05:12] <Crisco> arrrghhh: that should work
[05:12] <Crisco> but remember to backup your data
[05:13] <arrrghhh> Crisco, oh yea, i'll backup his data.  thanks.
[05:13] <Crisco> you should also try his settings and programs
[05:13] <Crisco> try to get it as if nothing ever happened
[05:13] <gunndawg> I feel accomplished writing my won shell script tool ;0
[05:14] <soreau> With apt-get update && apt-get upgrade I get "The following packages have been kept back:  linux-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic". Is there a way to fix it?
[05:14] <soreau> or at least find out why they're being held back
[05:14] <gunndawg> soreau, try apt-get dist-upgrade
[05:14] <Crisco> night
[05:15] <Chr|s> How to I remove Mail, Compose New Messaeg and Contacts from the indicator applet? I want nothing to do with Evolution. I use Thunderbird for my email needs.
[05:15] <fakhir> hello. ubuntu server 10.10. i have "@reboot /root/firewall.sh > /dev/null 2>&1" in crontab. the script works fine but does not run at boot.
[05:15] <soreau> gunndawg: Seems to have worked, thanks
[05:15] <xangua> Chr|s: sudo apt-get remove indicator-messages ; i believe
[05:16] <gunndawg> Soreau, your welcome, and your also the first person I have been able to help as I am new my self! :)
[05:16] <gunndawg> soreau, glad it worked :)
[05:16] <john38> Is there a laptop version of 10.04
[05:16] <xiongZW> hi all
[05:16] <arrrghhh> john38, there's the netbook remix...
[05:16] <john38> arrrghhh, is that for laptop
[05:17] <soreau> gunndawg: Well I am not new by any means but I was feeling lazy tonight, so congrats. I'm usually helping other people ;)
[05:17] <gunndawg> john38, desktop version should work just fine for a laptop
[05:17] <gunndawg> if its a "netbook" then there is a netbook version
[05:17] <john38> gunndawg, i cant get wireless internet to work
[05:17] <soreau> hi xiongZW
[05:17] <arrrghhh> john38, there isn't a specific 'laptop' version.
[05:17] <gunndawg> john38, I am on a toshiba laptop with desktop version of 10.10 and my wireless worked right away, no tweaking
[05:18] <gunndawg> maybe I just got lucky
[05:18] <arrrghhh> john38, if you have a closed-source driver card connect it to a cable and run the 'additional drivers'
[05:18] <john38> gunndawg, yeah i got a toshiba satellite
[05:18] <john38> arrrghhh, good idea
[05:18] <gunndawg> john38, mine is a Toshiba Satelitte C655
[05:18] <arrrghhh> gunndawg, if the drivers are OSS then it can be included.  if the drivers are closed, then it won't work.
[05:19] <Chr|s_> xangua, that uninstalled the Indicator applet itself, I didn't want that
[05:19] <gunndawg> arrrghhh we have the same laptop type, we probably have the same wireless adapter
[05:19] <gunndawg> arrrghhh, so it should work just fine, I figured.
[05:19] <john38> gunndawg, i know 10.10 supports most wireless
[05:19] <gunndawg> john38, ah right, I forgot you were talking about 10.04, my bad
[05:19] <arrrghhh> john38, why aren't you using 10.10?
[05:20] <john38> arrrghhh, it suck dont like it
[05:20] <leapy0yo> libreoffice does not replace open office
[05:20] <gunndawg> I <3 linux an dubuntu :)
[05:20] <john38> arrrghhh, i prefer 10.04
[05:20] <arrrghhh> john38, lol ok
[05:20] <arrrghhh> then don't use wireless...?
[05:20] <Loshki> fakhir: dunno why it doesn't work. But consider running 'once, at startup' things from /etc/rc.local instead.
[05:20] <sam_sam> i m getting this error -->configuration defaults for gnome power manager have not been installed correctly <-- i cant move mouse or keyboard.. other alt+ctrl <f1> etc doesnt work
[05:20] <john38> arrrghhh, i do that addtional drivers......
[05:21] <sam_sam> I cant login and  nothing responds
[05:21] <KM0201> john38: how on earth could you say 10.10 sucks, and 10.04 is better?.. they are essentially the same.
[05:21] <Jon--> Need to take .one format and convert it to be readable (doesn't have to be editable, pdf works) in Ubuntu. Easiest way? Possible?  [Come on guys been asking a while and even helping a user right now]
[05:22] <rww> leapy0yo: LibreOffice is a fork of OpenOffice.org that has the support of a large amount of the OpenOffice community. Ubuntu's been using the set of patches that make up most of LibreOffice's changes for a long time anyway, so us replacing OO with LO in Ubuntu makes a lot of sense.
[05:22] <KM0201> john38: whats your wireless device anyway?..
[05:23] <john38> KM0201, trust me 10.10 has bugs you can notice it
[05:23] <john38> KM0201, Toshiba Satellite A660
[05:23] <KM0201> john38: i've been using 10.10 since it came out, and i've had exactly zero problems
[05:23] <KM0201> john38: thats a laptop model, not a wireless model
[05:23] <gunndawg> john38, like I said I have the C655
[05:24] <gunndawg> john38, and no problems on 10.10
[05:24] <KM0201> gunndawg: but its horrid!
[05:24] <KM0201> lol
[05:24] <KM0201> problems are just creeping around the corner!
[05:24] <Jon--> Need to take .one format and convert it to be readable (doesn't have to be editable, pdf works) in Ubuntu. Easiest way? Possible?  [Come on guys been asking a while and even helping a user right now]
[05:24] <gunndawg> KM0201, what is horrid ?
[05:24] <KM0201> gunndawg: i was being facetious
[05:24] <john38> KM0201, hey if you like it thats fine
[05:24] <KM0201> john38: and you've STILL not answered the question....
[05:24] <gunndawg> KM0201, I know :) but calling 10.10 horrid or my laptop horrid?!
[05:25] <KM0201> 10.10 :)
[05:25] <gunndawg> ah ok
[05:25] <sam_sam>  I cant login and  nothing responds ,i m getting this error -->configuration defaults for gnome power manager have not been installed correctly <-- i cant move mouse or keyboard.. other alt+ctrl <f1> etc doesnt work
[05:25] <gunndawg> KM0201, I am new to linux and 10.10 is my first distro, so far I love it
[05:26] <gunndawg> KM0201, I am an avid windows programmer and looking to expand my horizons :)
[05:26] <KM0201> gunndawg: be not swayed, it's a good newb distro... i'm not sure what john38's problem is, but i suspect it has to do with the guy pounding on the keyboard
[05:26] <opakavic> does anybody have clue about next mahor release of ubuntu?
[05:26] <opakavic> major*
[05:26] <john38> KM0201, im trying to use wireless antenna
[05:27] <KM0201> john38: WHAT... WIRELESS... DEVICE... DO... YOU... HAVE... ?
[05:27] <gunndawg> KM0201 so far I have more fun drinking beer and hashing my shell scripts together on linux than I do drinking beer and playing call of duty on windows ;)
[05:27] <Chr|s> opakavic, Yes join #ubuntu+1 and also  check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NattyReleaseSchedule
[05:27] <john38> KM0201, take it easy not using adapter
[05:27] <KM0201> gunndawg: lol, well i'm not much of a "shell script feller"
[05:27]  * KM0201 sighs... i'm gonna talk to my pet brick, i get better responses
[05:27] <gunndawg> KM0201, but shell scripting is so much fun! I have made my own update and maint. utility
[05:28] <KM0201> just not my thing
[05:28] <gunndawg> KM0102, it runs all my package updates, updates the distros, clears cache and does trash clean up all from a tidly litle menu I made :)
[05:28] <KM0201> gunndawg: i'm not realy a power user.
[05:28] <rww> KM0201: best to just step away. getting frustrated in-channel just leads to ops having to poke you ;P
[05:28] <KM0201> rww: i think i'm still knocking out this flu, not to mention spending about 90min dealing w/ a wubi mess..lol
[05:29] <john38> gunndawg, you connected through your laptops antenna right
[05:29] <Jon--> Need to take .one format and convert it to be readable (doesn't have to be editable, pdf works) in Ubuntu. Easiest way? Possible?  [Come on guys been asking a while and even helping a user right now]
[05:29] <gunndawg> john38, no antenna, built in wireless
[05:29] <Cyd> jon--
[05:30] <Cyd> it's almost 12:30
[05:30] <john38> gunndawg, ..yeah thats what i meant
[05:30] <Cyd> in NYC
[05:30] <Cyd> am, not pm
[05:30] <KM0201> john38: lmao, thats what i asked you like 20x..
[05:30] <gunndawg> john38, then yes, I use my laptops built in wireless, worked just fine on ubuntu 10.10
[05:30] <gunndawg> john38, no driver installing, tweaking or anything
[05:30] <ibnarrashid> john38: you can try to get a reading of your wireless chipset using 'lspci | grep net'
[05:30] <KM0201> gunndawg: impossible, 10.10 sucks!
[05:30] <gunndawg> KM0201, ENOUGH ALREADY!!!
[05:30] <KM0201> lol
[05:31] <gunndawg> KM0201, 10.10 works just perfect for me, sounds like if I went with 10.04 I wouldnt be online...
[05:31] <bl0wh0rd> i'm running 10.04
[05:31] <bl0wh0rd> flawlessly
[05:31] <KM0201> gunndawg: no, you probably would be, becuase you can ask/answer a question...lol.
[05:31] <Cyd> KM0201
[05:31] <Cyd> not today
[05:31] <rww> ubottu: enter | Cyd
[05:31] <Cyd> >:(
[05:32] <john38> gunndawg, i know it would work with 10.10 im trying to get it to work on 10.04
[05:32] <gunndawg> KM0201, point is... my ubuntu works just perfect for me :)
[05:33] <KM0201> gunndawg: i know yours does... i've just tried to help john38 and it's like he just wants to complain, and won't answer questions...
[05:33] <john38> KM0201, take it easy ok 10.10 is good damn
[05:33] <Loshki> Jon--: what is '.one format'?
[05:33] <Jon--> OneNote format
[05:33] <rww> Alrighty people. Ubuntu version debates to #ubuntu-offtopic, metadiscussion to there or LiveJournal. Thanks :)
[05:33] <KM0201> john38: you still don't get it, i don't care what you think about 10.10.. you're on 10.04.. your wireless doesn't work, and i was trying to help you with that... and you just seem like your'e lost in space
[05:34] <KM0201> you're telling me about your "wireless antennae" (which was hilarious by the way)...
[05:34] <john38> KM0201, holy shit cause i didnt answer your wirelss question relax...dude
[05:35] <yondering> hola.  Anybody happen to know if there's any recent word on poulsbo support in maverick?
[05:35] <john38> KM0201, its built in ....
[05:35] <KM0201> john38: no kidding?
[05:35] <john38> KM0201, so whats your suggestion
[05:35] <Jon--> Loshki: Should have tagged you. It's for OneNote.
[05:35] <crond> yondering, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsPoulsbo/
[05:35] <KM0201> john38: well... *I*.. would probably open a terminal and type "lspci" w/o quotes, and hit enter, and find your wireless device in that list, and tell us what it is.
[05:35] <Chr|s> john38 and KM0201 keep it cool guys, no reason to get bent out of shape
[05:35] <Loshki> Jon--: yeah, been googling. Does this help? http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1595229
[05:36] <john38> KM0201, one sec...
[05:36] <KM0201> Chr|s: i'm not bent out of shape.. if this place bent me out of shape, i wouldn't come here.
[05:36]  * KM0201 sings the hallelujah chorus
[05:36] <Jon--> Loshki: That thread has 0 replies helping that individual. ;p
[05:36] <yondering> crond, thank you.. unfortunately, I've tried this on my ao751h, and it seems to create other problems.
[05:37] <crond> yondering, you can also try the fbdev, iegd and emgd drivers
[05:37] <Jon--> Loshki: Oh. He wasn't asking for help. Basically, his sol'n was to load OneNote in Wine. That'd mean I'd have to go torrent one, I just had my buddy send me some class notes in .one. =(
[05:37] <crond> yondering, egmd is Intel's 'official' driver for the gma500
[05:37] <yondering> crond, oh, really.. thank you.  making a note of that, will give it a go.
[05:38] <yondering> I wonder if the egmd one will handle unity..
[05:38] <wjlafrance> For some reason, when I open Network Manager in Gnome, none of my interfaces show in the list
[05:38] <john38> KM0201, its the network controller right
[05:38] <Jon--> Loshki: There are clones of OneNote but they don't open OneNote files. Is the FOSS community currently unable to open OneNote files at ALL? Do I have to go pirate/buy Microshaft software and wine it to use this thing?
[05:38] <KM0201> john38: well, probably, but you may well have 2 network controllers, you should be able to tell which one is wireless
[05:39] <crond> yondering, https://launchpad.net/~lucazade/+archive/emgd - WARNING - I have never tried these and don't know if they will not work/break/eat your family.
[05:39] <john38> KM0201, Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device 8176 (rev 01)
[05:39] <KM0201> john38: i *think* thats your wired controller
[05:40] <yondering> crond, thanks again.. no sweat, I have no family and it can't make my little netbook work any worse ;)
[05:40] <KM0201> john38: whats the other one?
[05:40] <john38> KM0201, one says Network controller one says Ethernet Controller
[05:40] <KM0201> ok
[05:40] <Jon--> LAST CALL - been in here for a few hours. Is there any way to open or convert OneNote files without OneNote in wine on Ubuntu?
[05:40] <crond> yondering, that ppa page also has a link to the ubuntuforums post on the drivers, read that before installing :)
[05:40] <mneptok> KM0201 / john38: the Realtek 8176 is a wireless controller
[05:40] <Vigilante> Hello World!!!
[05:41] <KM0201> mneptok: yeah, i wasn't 100%.
[05:41] <john38> cool
[05:41] <yondering> crond, will do :)
[05:41] <KM0201> john38: does the machine have a wired internet connection?
[05:42] <john38> KM0201, yeah it has ethernet port
[05:42] <KM0201> ..
[05:42] <KM0201> john38: is it hooked up?
[05:42] <Loshki> Jon--: well, it *is* a proprietary format. If it isn't published it has to be reverse-engineered and that takes time. Your best bet is to ask someone with access to OneNote to print it to pdf for you I think....
[05:42] <john38> KM0201, yeah
[05:43] <john38> KM0201, ....getting updates
[05:43] <Jon--> Loshki: The worst part is this guy is in my software engineering project-based course on my team and he sends the linux guy a .one file. I got some real rockstars on my team. ;)
[05:43] <KM0201> john38: ok
[05:43] <Jon--> Loshki: This will be fun. *prepares to do the job of 4 developers in one while doing 5 classes*
[05:43] <Jon--> Loshki: Thanks for the help.
[05:43] <delinquentme> hey all i just d/led this file full of drivers i want to install .. theres no visible executeable file ... soo i guess " how do i install them?"
[05:43] <crond> Jon--, OneNote will run in Crossover, apparently.
[05:43] <KM0201> john38: post 6 seems to have gotten good reviews... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1620697
[05:43] <Loshki> Jon--: on the other hand, we can even digest .one format, so how smart do we look right now?
[05:43] <Jon--> crond: Yeah I don't have it though. Wine works too
[05:44] <Loshki> Jon--: can -> can't
[05:44] <Jon--> Loshki: You guys do look perdy dumb. OneNote has been out for ages and it's the absolute best app to take notes with a tablet...
[05:44] <crond> Jon--, free trial.  http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/onenote/redir/XT102493905.aspx
[05:44] <crond> download, install, open file :P
[05:45] <Loshki> crond: worth trying...
[05:45] <Jon--> Loshki: Not bashing FOSS community but having at least read-only reverse engineering of the format.. I figured that'd be a priority for OpenOffice. I guess not.
[05:45] <john38> KM0201, thanks i'll try it
[05:45] <mneptok> Jon--: as you said, there aren;t even apps on Windows that do this
[05:45] <crond> I can't fathom why you'd want to take notes on a tablet via pen input.  Typing is so much faster.  But to each their own.
[05:45] <KM0201> mneptok: lol
[05:46] <mneptok> Jon--: feel free to write any file translator you need. until you do, don't assume it's easy or legally smart
[05:46] <K6HX2> hey mneptok!
[05:46] <K6HX2> (RayTracer here...)
[05:46] <K6HX2> or, formerly raytracer, trayreacer.
[05:46] <mneptok> K6HX2: MTvdW!
[05:47] <Jon--> mneptok: Excuse me? It's called OneNote and it's offered by Microsoft. You must have misread me. I'm not assuming anything's easy but OpenOffice has got to be in the top 10 largest FOSS projects and they didn't take that long with docx. They just don't seem to care.
[05:47] <KM0201> Jon--: so how much have you donated to Document Foundation this month?
[05:48] <miststlkr> I mounted a network share to a directory in root, but want to chgrp to my user group, the way /media is.  sudo/gksu say I don't have privileges to do that despite this user having access to those commands.  do I need to log in as root directly or am I being stupid here?
[05:48] <mneptok> Jon--: the .docx format documentation was made available, and MS promised not to interfere with those writing import/export filters.
[05:48] <crond> If you really need OneNote support, use the bloody web app.
[05:48] <Jon--> KM0201: This year, yes. I've also written documentation for OpenOffice.
[05:48] <Jon--> KM0201: I believe the appropriate term is "owned".
[05:48] <w1n5on> I have a problem
[05:48] <KM0201> Jon--: well, then you likely have their ear, why are you griping about it here?... sounds a bit like griping at the Janitor because a company is financially failing
[05:48] <w1n5on> When I close the lid on my laptop, ubuntu sleeps
[05:48] <KM0201> Jon--: hardly... appropriate term is "learn where to gripe".
[05:49] <w1n5on> I have power manager set to do nothing
[05:49] <rww> !ot | KM0201, Jon--
[05:49] <crond> w1n5on, does your bios have settings that are applied when you close the lid by chance?
[05:50] <w1n5on> No, I've had this laptop a long time and have had ubuntu on it before without this problem
[05:50] <w1n5on> I just upgraded the hard drive and reinstalled
[05:50] <crond> w1n5on, hm
[05:51] <Jon--> KM0201: You should support the most prominent offerings for most, if not all software out there. OpenOffice competes with Microsoft Office. Gimp, Photoshop. Etc. The only decent app for a tablet right now is OneNote. I've used a tablet, it's about 1000x better than the FOSS or paid Windows alternatives... and there is zero support in linux. Even the clones to compete with onenote are weak....
[05:51] <Jon--> ...Weak man, weak. Tablets are so good for university.
[05:51] <Jon--> I know I'm ot. I'll drop it before ban-hammer.
[05:51] <crond> I am sure libre/openoffice have an irc channel.  they'd be the ones to speak to.
[05:51] <Jon--> The latest distro has TRIM for SSD. I suppose I can't bitch too badly.
[05:51] <Jon--> kernel*****
[05:52] <yondering> speaking of libre, anyone tried it? (if abi & calc are doing what I need, should I bother looking?)
[05:52] <w1n5on> LOL
[05:52] <w1n5on> I just checked and it started working
[05:52] <rww> yondering: yes I have, no you shouldn't
[05:52] <w1n5on> Guess I just needed to reboot
[05:52] <yondering> rww, sweet, thanks.
[05:53] <crond> w1n5on, sweet, working ftw! :)
[05:53] <Yuyo> question: i'm running ubuntu 10.10 in a vmware VM. every time a suspend it and resume it, the network connection is lost.. so i went to System > Administration > Additional Drivers, and i deactivated the driver, closed the window, brought it up again, activated the driver again, and the connection is re-established..  i was wondering if there was a way to do this from a terminal, any ideas? i had tried sudo ifconfig eth0 up, but that gave me an "Unable to alloca
[05:53] <crond> Yuyo, sounds more like a vmware issue than an ubuntu one tbh.
[05:54] <Yuyo> likely... i just want to know how to reload the driver in the terminal though
[05:54] <crond> Yuyo, and your question was too long and part of it got cut off :)
[05:54] <Yuyo> orly?
[05:54] <yondering> Yuyo, try ifup -a
[05:54] <Yuyo> shite
[05:54] <Yuyo> yondering, let me try
[05:55] <Jon--> Man, screw this, you guys don't support anything. I'm converting to OpenBSD for my desktop platform.  [I'm trolling. :P. Goodnight guys]
[05:55] <Jon--> And yes, I did mean to put OpenBSD, the super minimalistic to be secure one.
[05:55] <yondering> Jon--, bye then.  Enjoy the headaches. ;p
[05:55] <rsh> linux for human beings and Windows for ??
[05:56] <Jon--> rsh: People who are willing to sacrifice power for usability.
[05:56] <mneptok> Jon--: please /part before trolling
[05:56] <Jon--> rsh: Is the real answer. And that's coming from a guy that uses Ubuntu 95% of the time now. ;P
[05:56] <rsh> hohoho
[05:56] <Jon--> mneptok: May I /wrists instead?
[05:57] <mneptok> Jon--: if it gets you back on-topic, sure.
[05:57] <KM0201>  "/wrists " ?.
[05:57] <yondering> heh.  windows = useability?  My 85 year old mother hates windows with a passion.  She's much more comfortable with linux.
[05:57] <Jon--> KM0201: slash wrists.
[05:57] <KM0201> ic
[05:57] <miststlkr> clearly my question was too stupid. :-P
[05:58] <K6HX2> I actually think Ubuntu has gotten worse in the last two years.
[05:58] <KM0201> K6HX: probably not "worse" but its gotten more bloated...
[05:58] <yondering> hmm.  yes and no :)  I don't care for gnome or kde, xfce just.. works.
[05:58] <mneptok> !offtopic
[05:58] <K6HX2> I'm really beginning to hate anything to do with sound lately.
[05:59] <yondering> since when is discussing ubuntu between questions offtopic?
[05:59] <rsh> oh we've got channel monitors
[05:59] <mneptok> yondering: since the founding of the channel
[05:59] <KM0201> rsh: well duh
[05:59] <Yuyo> yondering, that didn't do anything
[05:59] <K6HX2> Installed the pidgin festival voice plugin.  enabled it.   configured voices.  No sound.  have no idea why.
[05:59] <mneptok> Yuyo: sudo service networking restart
[05:59] <yondering> without the banter/chatter, nobody would bother watching the channel to answer questions, but w/e.
[05:59] <Jon--> mneptok: There aren't any questions. It's not like we're spamming so much people can't see questions. I never understand the OT rule.
[06:00] <Yuyo> foo@ubuntu:/etc/udev$ sudo service networking restart
[06:00] <Yuyo> restart: Unknown instance:
[06:00] <rsh> y blueman isnn't available 4 8.04
[06:00] <yondering> Yuyo, hm.. sorry, was just a quick guess. =/
[06:00] <Jon--> Yuyo: sudo service networking stop && sudo service networking start
[06:00] <Jon--> Or was it complaining that networking isn't a service? D:
[06:00] <imi> hi
[06:01] <Yuyo> i wanted to try doing what they say here re:modprobe http://askubuntu.com/questions/6129/why-does-my-ethernet-port-sometimes-not-work
[06:01] <rsh> hello imi
[06:01] <cool> help, i have a corrupt live cd, I can boot to try environment but i can't do an installation
[06:01] <imi> ttf-droid and ttf-umefont has no signature
[06:01] <Yuyo> but i couldn't find anything in  /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
[06:01] <Jon--> cool: Run the check-cd part of theboot disk?
[06:02] <imi> is is some error on my side?
[06:02] <R0b0t1> I've installed ndiswrapper and I believe it is up and running properly. However, my wireless still never connects.
[06:02] <Jon--> Okay, enough helping, I needs sleeps.
[06:02] <cool> how do i do that?
[06:02] <R0b0t1> I can see a list of networks and can attempt to connect, but... nothing...
[06:02] <Loshki> Jon--: I don't like my support mixed up with my chat. I can mix them together if I want, but I can't unmix them....
[06:02] <Jon--> cool: In the menu when you start up there should be an option for checking the disk for errors, unless 10.10 changed the boot disk.
[06:02] <yondering> cool, it's an option when you're booting from the cd.   if the disc check shows issues you'll need to burn another disc and possibly download a fresh image.
[06:03] <yondering> 10.10 did not remove the option.
[06:03] <Yuyo> any idea where i can find the networking driver id so that i can use it with modprobe?
[06:03] <cool> what if i can't do anything with burning a new disk in my environment?
[06:03] <crond> Yuyo, google your lspci result
[06:03] <imi> ttf-droid and ttf-umefont has no signature. is it some error on my side?
[06:04] <cool> can I use my corrupted cd and still do installation and then download the rest stuff from the net?
[06:04] <R0b0t1> cool: Perhaps, depends on which part is corrupted. I'd burn a new one.
[06:04] <rsh> sounds immposbl
[06:04] <Yuyo> crond, what do you mean by "your lspci result"?
[06:04] <Jon--> cool: Computer -> Window -> Enraged jumping up and down.  AKA : It is beyond my level of experience to repair boot disk corruption in-place... Probably not even possible, if you have binaries corrupted, how do you plan on installing?
[06:04] <KM0201> cool: you'd be playing w/ fire, i would download/burn again
[06:04] <Jon--> Oo
[06:04] <Jon--> Can he somehow pull the disk?
[06:05] <Jon--> And burn WITH the live cd?
[06:05] <Jon--> Doesn't ubuntu have an option to dump itself to disk/ram so your disk drive is free?
[06:05] <Jon--> He said he can boot but not install
[06:05] <cool> my headache is i have internet connection but i don't have any resource to burn a new cd at the moment
[06:05] <vikingurinn> cool: is brasero not on the livecd?
[06:05] <Jon--> cool: Oh. Shit. You're kind of screwed then. I thought your issue was your CD drive was occupied by the livecd ;)
[06:05] <yondering> I don't think that'd work well unless he's got a second drive to burn the image on.
[06:06] <vikingurinn> oh yeah herp der
[06:06] <vikingurinn> cool: borrow a friend's computer
[06:06] <yondering> Cool, have you got a usb thumbdrive?
[06:06] <R0b0t1> I've installed ndiswrapper and I believe it is up and running properly. However, my wireless still never connects.
[06:06] <Jon--> I love how not getting linux installed has everyone in the chat helping this guy.
[06:06] <R0b0t1> I can see a list of networks and can attempt to connect, but... nothing...
[06:06] <cool> this is the most disgusting part,I can't boot from usb either
[06:07] <Jon--> *turns off his light and snuggles in with some nice irc*
[06:07] <KM0201> cool: ugh.
[06:07] <yondering> cool, then I don't know of a way to get it done. =/
[06:07] <Campfire> might try unibootin
[06:07] <Jon--> cool: so, in summary, no burner/blank media, corrupt disk, no usb boot. There is no solution that I can see.
[06:07] <KM0201> Campfire: not gonna work if he can't boot USB
[06:07] <Campfire> to put os on usb thub
[06:07] <yondering> cool, has the pc got a windows partition?
[06:07] <Campfire> thumb
[06:07] <cool> yeah, it has a windows partition
[06:08] <Jon--> yondering: He can dump the live cd to local storage and free up the drive. It sounds like he doesn't have a burner or blank media.
[06:08] <cool> mbr is broken as well,
[06:08] <Jon--> cool: agh. fyl. really?
[06:08] <yondering> hmm.  I think there's a way to install it from within windows still, but I don't know if it installs to a virtual diskfile in the windows partition or if it actually does a proper installation.
[06:09] <vikingurinn> cool, you must have at least one friend willing to let you borrow a computer for long enough to burn a disc.
[06:09] <Jon--> yondering: It's called wubi, and I wouldn't recommend it. Grub updates sort of make it blow up. Besides that, it's stable.
[06:09] <yondering> Jon--, that's what I thought.
[06:09] <cool> ha, i do. However, they are not nearby
[06:10] <cool> i guess, there isn't an easy solution out this other than wait tell i get a burning media
[06:11] <cool> thanks everyone
[06:12] <jacquesdupontd> hi guys
[06:12] <the_pharoah> hey
[06:13] <the_pharoah> need help?
[06:13] <gunndawg> hi jacquesdupontd
[06:13] <Jon--> cool: I still prefer my "computer -> window" solution. Guaranteed "fix". You won't have any boot problems [namely because it will not boot]
[06:13] <Jon--> !hi jacquesdupontd
[06:13] <jacquesdupontd> is there anybody that knows what is the command for that damned ChanServ to auto OP me on my Registered Channel when i join it ? :)
[06:14] <Campfire> i,m new to linux but i,m starting to learn term commands
[06:14] <rww> jacquesdupontd: ask in #freenode for help with channel services
[06:14] <jacquesdupontd> true
[06:14] <Jon--> Campfire: Question?
[06:14] <the_pharoah> yea thats not really a linux question

[06:14] <jacquesdupontd> anyway thx alot guys i'm back in a sec i had question relative to ubuntu
[06:15] <Campfire> fill
[06:15] <Jon--> Campfire: I'm not sure what you mean by "fill out a line"
[06:15] <Campfire> like in a dir
[06:15] <the_pharoah> he said file out
[06:15] <Campfire> fill out i mean
[06:15] <santhosh> in a server version with only command line how do it cut and paste lines of text
[06:15] <jacquesdupontd> i know tha was because it was one of my first question but i'll go especialy on that channel for that answer and come back for ubuntu Questions, Thanks a lot, brb
[06:16] <Jon--> Campfire: Sorry bro, still not following. What are you trying to do? Please give me some detail. Fill out a line in a directory not giving me much D:
[06:16] <x2z_> random question. i have 2 hdd in my box. powersupply wont turn on when plugged into both. will turn on when plugged into just one and wont turn on when plugged into just the other. any ideas?
[06:16] <santhosh> guy in a server command line version how do i cut and paste lines of text
[06:16] <rh1n0> Is there anything new that i can try for an ATI Radeon HD6850 card in ubuntu? everytime i try to use the restricted driver i get an error on boot - Hypertransport overflow. Then have to remove the xorg.conf just to boot into any window manager.
[06:16] <Campfire> ok say if a program folder is named ubuntu with friends
[06:16] <omniwing> I'm using xubuntu on a netbook. I have multitouch drivers installed and I have multitouch support (I can scroll with two fingers) but I can't right click on anything...How do I fix this?
[06:17] <Campfire> and i just type ubu to find it
[06:17] <Campfire> i forget that command
[06:17] <thauriswulfa> is there any ebook or website to learn linux programming in c????/
[06:17] <Jon--> Campfire: The <TAB> key will do this.
[06:17] <Campfire> ty jon
[06:18] <Jon--> Bed times.
[06:19] <Campfire> night jon
[06:19] <franzce> hey guys
[06:19] <Campfire> hey
[06:20] <Campfire> ask question i,m new i can,t help
[06:20] <Campfire> well
[06:20] <franzce> is it posible that i can add space in my hdd on ubuntu
[06:20] <franzce> is it posible that i can add space in my hdd on ubuntu?
[06:20] <Campfire> welp i,ll try
[06:21] <Campfire> like compressed space?
[06:21] <rsh> trying pays off 10 days bt is not working optimistc still
[06:21] <soreau> franzce: You mean resize the partition?
[06:22] <bhavesh> franzce, you can do it with a software called Gparted
[06:22] <soreau> franzce: You can grow the partition in a live session with gparted
[06:22] <franzce> soreau: im using a wubi
[06:22] <franzce> soreau: then my space is almost full
[06:22] <soreau> ! wubi | franzce
[06:22] <x2z_> what would cause a computer to not power on only with a specific hard drive.
[06:23] <the_pharoah> how do i just give myself admin priveleges on ubuntu
[06:23] <gunndawg> franzce, myspace sucks anyways
[06:23] <the_pharoah> is there a simple way or do i have to download something so it can ask for the password
[06:23] <franzce> soreau: and i want to increase it
[06:23] <Campfire> sudo
[06:23] <soreau> x2z_: That isn't really related to ubuntu. Try #hardware
[06:23] <Campfire> the p
[06:23] <x2z_> soreau: thanks
[06:23] <Loshki> x2z_: But I'd guess your hard drive is shorted...
[06:23] <imi> ttf-droid and ttf-umefont has no signature. is it some error on my side?
[06:23] <soreau> franzce: I would recommend installing to the drive directly so you get the added benefits of using the native file system
[06:24] <x2z_> Loshki: so its junk?
[06:24] <soreau> ! sudo | the_pharoah
[06:24] <Campfire> cool room i,m allredy learning
[06:25] <franzce> soreau: what do you mean installing it directly to the drive?
[06:25] <the_pharoah> so i just put in sudo?
[06:25] <rsh> pharoh get urself ubuntu pocket dictionary
[06:25] <franzce> soreau: doesnt wubi support that?
[06:25] <the_pharoah> where is pocket dictionary
[06:25] <john38> I had to sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lexical/hwe-wireless ....  apt-get update...and....apt-get install rtl8192ce-dkms
[06:25] <rsh> search it
[06:26] <Campfire> you learn more when you lisen be in the back ground peeps
[06:26] <Campfire> brb
[06:26] <soreau> franzce: wubi is a way to install ubuntu but it actually exists in the windows file system AFAIK which means it's slightly slower
[06:26] <john38> to install wireless driver but i had to install pae kernel image now i dont have wireless im guessing i have to uninstall and reinstall
[06:26] <john38> whats the commands
[06:27] <NineTeen67Comet> Hi all; I'm looking for a 27" LCD monitor (x3) w/out speakers! Do they make such a thing? (I've got the okay to replace this old computer and monitors with new goodies)
[06:27] <soreau> franzce: If you boot the computer using a live cd or usb image, you can install it to the hard drive in it's own partition. The automated process makes it very easy to do
[06:27] <john38> how do i undo the commands i entered in??
[06:27] <soreau> NineTeen67Comet: How is that related to ubuntu?
[06:27] <soreau> john38: You don't. What did you do?
[06:28] <yondering> NineTeen67Comet, I've got a 28" LCD, but I wouldn't recommend it for anything beyond normal gaming/desktop use.
[06:28] <NineTeen67Comet> Not necisarily related; I just trust the advice I get from fellow Bunter's ..
[06:28] <john38> soreau, i entered those commands at terminal for internet but with updated pae kernel it wont work now
[06:28] <franzce> soreau: i can transfer my wubi in the hard drive by using live cd?
[06:28] <soreau> NineTeen67Comet: Try #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:28] <john38> soreau, how do i uninstall
[06:28] <soreau> ! ot | NineTeen67Comet
[06:28] <NineTeen67Comet> yondering: I'm not a big gamer/movie watcher, but I do love my desktop space (currently have 2 19" HP monitors).
[06:28] <NineTeen67Comet> okay soreau .. sorry
[06:29] <soreau> franzce: I don't know if you can transfer the wubi installation to the hard drive but I'm not too familiar with wubi
[06:29] <delinquentme> what do i put into the terminal to find all the installed programms with the string "arduino"
[06:29] <john38> soreau, Post #6  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1620697
[06:30] <john38> soreau, that worked for me but i had to update pae kernel i just need to uninstall rtl8192ce-dkms
[06:30] <linuxfreaker> Is Xorg 1.10 ported into 11.04 Alpha
[06:30] <john38> soreau, and reinstall it
[06:30] <franzce> soreau: ahhhh
[06:30] <soreau> john38: Did you use a ppa?
[06:30] <john38> soreau, yeah
[06:31] <franzce> soreau: tnx
[06:31] <john38> soreau, terminal
[06:31] <soreau> john38: Ok, install ppa-purge, then use ' sudo ppa-purge <repo-name>'
[06:31] <banpdtr_> How can I go to end of file in the VIM ? Could anyone suggest me the reference to find short cuts for VIM usage...
[06:32] <john38> soreau, how do i install ppa-purge
[06:32] <soreau> john38: sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
[06:33] <soreau> john38: It's only available in ubuntu 10.10 and later
[06:34] <john38> soreau, i got 10.04 what do i do
[06:34] <soreau> banpdtr_: Try ##linux and/or google
[06:34] <Yuyo> nobody really knows what the "Additional Drivers" window does when you click on Deactivate??
[06:34] <K6HX2> dear lored.
[06:34] <soreau> john38: You can actually install xorg-edgers to get ppa-purge in 10.04 .. but it would be a bit of a trick because you'd have to purge xorg-edgers as well after you use it
[06:35] <K6HX2> The code for the pidgin festival plugin is horrible.
[06:35] <Chr|s> Anyone know how I remove Evolution Email from the indicator applet? ( Mail, Compose New Message and Contacts)?
[06:35] <K6HX2> this guy allocates a char array as an automatic variable, and then returns it.
[06:35]  * K6HX2 bonks his head on the keyboard.
[06:35] <john38> soreau, is there any way to uninstall....apt-get install rtl8192ce-dkms
[06:35] <soreau> john38: Which repo did you add btw, the hwe-wireless one?
[06:35] <john38> soreau, yeah
[06:36] <john38> soreau, sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lexical/hwe-wireless
[06:36] <soreau> john38: Try sudo apt-get remove rtl8192ce-dkms
[06:36] <xTheGoat121x> I have a Sansa Clip 8gb that mounts fine in Windows as the full 8gb, but when I hook it up to Ubuntu, it only shows 4gb and I don't know why.
[06:36] <soreau> john38: And go to sys>admin>software sources to remove the repo
[06:37] <rsh> how do you add other repos
[06:37] <soreau> rsh: You don't want to add any other repos unless there is some latest development you need to keep track of, or you're a developer
[06:37] <leapy0yo> hi
[06:37] <soreau> leapy0yo: hello
[06:38] <leapy0yo> i have a program that accepts only one file name at a time... how can I make it so I put one filename then, i wait until the program is finished, then I load the program again but with the next filename?
[06:38] <no_mind> in my ubuntu ltsp, all users can view data in other user's home dir. How do I prevent this ?
[06:38] <soreau> leapy0yo: Is it a cli command? What is the command
[06:38] <leapy0yo> yes cli
[06:38] <bhuey> how do I dual boot using Ubuntu on second partition ?
[06:39] <leapy0yo> it is rma ... real media analyzer ... to fix rm files
[06:39] <bhuey> from another Linux OS ?
[06:39] <rsh> edit grub
[06:39] <leapy0yo> so, i run rma -fz filename ... then i wait a long time for it to finish. then I want to run it again but with the next filename... i want to do this overnight
[06:39] <ilon> leapy0yo: have you tried a for loop in bash? in case the program accept the filename as a command line argument that is
[06:39] <soreau> bhuey: What are you trying to do? You can use a virtual machine to install ubuntu or boot a live session and install it alongside your other OS
[06:40] <leapy0yo> ilon, how do i do that
[06:40] <bhuey> soreau: I have fedora 12 on the first partition and I'd like to install ubuntu on the second
[06:40] <soreau> leapy0yo: It would be something like 'for i in *.ext; do rma -fz "$i"; done'
[06:41] <bhuey> but this bootloader stuff is driving me crazy
[06:41] <soreau> leapy0yo: Try it with 'for i in *; do echo "$i"; done' in a directory to see the values 'i' will be
[06:41] <soreau> bhuey: What is the confusion?
[06:42] <bonjoyee> !register
[06:42] <jake__> I need to up date my amsn Can some one help?
[06:42] <Yuyo> srsly, anyone know how to do what the "Additional Drivers" window does but in the terminal?
[06:42] <Yuyo> i can't find anything on google
[06:42] <leapy0yo> soreu... it gives me blank
[06:43] <soreau> Yuyo: To find a command to any program, use alacarte (sys>prefs>main menu) then find the entry and right click to go to preferences
[06:43] <soreau> Yuyo: In this case, 'gksu jockey-gtk' should do what you want
[06:43] <ilon> leapy0yo: chat extensions do the files have?
[06:44] <ilon> what*
[06:44] <leapy0yo> this is becoming complex.... it is a simple program that is not supported as in not in the database
[06:44] <soreau> leapy0yo: Well it doesn't have anything to do directly with ubuntu. Maybe try ##linux or #bash
[06:44] <ilon> leapy0yo: what are the filename extension on the files?
[06:44] <jake__> Can any one help me find a update of Amsn?
[06:44] <leapy0yo> i can do ls >> list.txt  ... then i need to use that for rma -fz $i   and for $I you get input from the file then move on the next input after about 5 minutes because that is how long it takes
[06:45] <Yuyo> soreau, thanks.. but i want to know what the windows does internally... specifically, what command it calls when i click on the Deactivate button
[06:45] <bhuey> soreau: any online examples of how to do it easily ?
[06:45] <leapy0yo> ilon, *.rm
[06:46] <soreau> Yuyo: Ah, it's a python program I believe
[06:46] <K6HX2> hmmm.
[06:46] <soreau> Yuyo: Basically it's a catch-all way to install and remove drivers without messing up the system
[06:47] <Yuyo> soreau, i want to do it in the terminal, do you know what command i can use?
[06:48] <leapy0yo> rma -fz < list.txt  ,, i want to do something like that.. but that does not work...  how do i make it more complex like with for or find or so
[06:48] <soreau> bhuey: Just boot a live ubuntu image and click install then partition it and it will auto-detect the other OS and install the boot loader
[06:48] <Campfire> i got an orinoco card pcmcia for lappy how would i get that to work on linux
[06:48] <crond> o_O you found a laptop with a pcmcia slot?
[06:48] <Campfire> yeah
[06:49] <gunndawg> What is the "Update Manager" used for when you have apt to update ur packages ?
[06:49] <hilarie> How do I run a program with administrative powers?
[06:49] <soreau> leapy0yo: You want 'for i in *.ext; do echo "$i"; done' but change .ext to the extensions on your files and change echo to the command you want to run on each
[06:49] <soreau> ! sudo | hilarie
[06:49] <bhuey> soreau: how do you get to the boot menu on ubuntu when it starts ?

[06:50] <soreau> jake__: What does amsn have to do with ubuntu?
[06:50] <iiname> hello
[06:50] <bhuey> soreau: so it should auto detect the sda1 partition ?
[06:50] <soreau> bhuey: Yes.
[06:50] <gunndawg> Soreau, what is the "Update Manager" used for when you have apt to update your packages, etc ?
[06:50] <leapy0yo> soreua, i think the sytx is wrong , for it is not working
[06:50] <Yuyo> soreau, any ideas?
[06:50] <jake__> Its msns  Im for ubuntu
[06:50] <bhuey> I'll give it a shot
[06:51] <soreau> gunndawg: It's just a gui way of doing the same thing
[06:51] <gunndawg> Soreau, cool, thanks
[06:51] <hilarie> Thanks, I'll try those links
[06:51] <soreau> Yuyo: What driver is it?
[06:51] <john38> gunndawg, were you able to setup your webcam ,microphone?
[06:51] <soreau> leapy0yo: Show me the command you're using. You're not supposed to include the embracing 'tick' marks btw
[06:52] <Yuyo> soreau, it's called VMWare Virtual Ethernet driver
[06:52] <allan8904> hey, i just installed ubuntu. It was booting to a black screen so after some looking on the internet i found that i needed to use i915.modeset=0, but now X wont start...any ideas?
[06:52] <jake__> It just gives me E: The update command takes no arguments
[06:52] <hilarie> So in terminal I would type sude vmware workstation?
[06:52] <Campfire> ty for ubuntu rock on
[06:52] <gunndawg> john38, I dont have a webcam
[06:52] <iiname> i replaced 10.04 with 10.10 as a fresh installation on a touch netbook which was working alright without touch in 04, but with 10.10, the netbook requires an interrupt to boot, several F1s through the boot process for the boot to proceed, touch was working DURING installation, but after installation, touch does not seem to work, the system also hangs quite a bit, what should I do to trouble shoot?
[06:52] <john38> gunndawg, no built in webcam
[06:52] <gunndawg> john38, nope
[06:52] <john38> gunndawg, laptop
[06:52] <soreau> Yuyo: Yea I have no idea about that. Typically, the driver info stuff is kinda locked up because then people start writing scripts which break and in turn break the system
[06:53] <gunndawg> john38, laptop
[06:53] <soreau> Yuyo: But it's open source if you want to read how it works
[06:53] <john38> gunndawg, was it you who said they had toshiba satellite
[06:53] <gunndawg> john38, yes
[06:53] <john38> gunndawg, oh
[06:53] <bonjoyee>  /msg nickserv register Start123 joyz_mailbox@yahoo.com
[06:53] <jake__> It just comes back with this E: The update command takes no arguments
[06:53] <hilarie> hehe
[06:54] <Yuyo> soreau, shit... i might do that, though
[06:54] <Yuyo> thanks anyways
[06:54] <soreau> Yuyo: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=jockey&searchon=names&suite=maverick&section=all You would click on where it says 'maverick' for each entry there, then look to the right panel for the sources
[06:55] <john38> Can somebody help me locate Toshiba Satellite laptop webcam microphone drivers
[06:56] <soreau> Yuyo: Yea, it's python. They have some example code files.
[06:56] <soreau> ! language | Yuyo

[06:57] <hilarie> I FIGURED OUT HOW TO DEFRAG A NTFS VOLUME IN UBUNTU!!!!
[06:57] <hilarie> And sorry, all caps was warranted, it took me 3 days to figure it out
[06:57] <gunndawg> hilarie, care to share ?
[06:57] <ilon> hilarie: enlighten us :)
[06:57] <hilarie> You all said it couldn't be done!
[06:57] <hilarie> VMware!
[06:57] <john38> soreau, i looked in Sound preferneces ..no devices for internal microphone?
[06:57] <ilon> hilarie: :(
[06:57] <gunndawg> meh, im not gonna mess with VMware
[06:58] <ilon> hilarie: then it isnt in "linux", but rather in vmware
[06:58] <leapy0yo> soreau, okay, i got the loop to work... the issue is i ddi not think "done" was necessary... thank you
[06:58] <leapy0yo> and ilon
[06:58] <soreau> leapy0yo: Yes, you need the whole thing
[06:58] <hilarie> This is true, but it lets you defrag even the system crap that you can't if your actual NTFS volume is mounted
[06:58] <ilon> leapy0yo: good! enjoy the power of bash!
[06:59] <soreau> john38: Hmm, not sure then. What is the output line from 'lspci' for the audio card?
[06:59] <john38> soreau, one sec
[06:59] <geegeegee> I want to jail a user in SSH to their home directory, what is the best way to do it?

[07:00] <bethdo> i am installing ubuntu desktop 10.10 on a computer for the first time and know nothing about linux except for a very limited introduction when I was learning windows system
[07:00] <hilarie> Oh, as far as mounting it?
[07:00] <bethdo> Help!!!
[07:00] <soreau> ! help | bethdo
[07:00] <hilarie> No, I mounted a BartPE as the install, then told VMware to check out the SCSI drive
[07:00] <ilon> bethdo: what do you need help with?
[07:00] <bonjoyee>  /server irc.freenode.net
[07:01] <hilarie> Now, every file on my NTFS volume is degraggable, and my laptop isn't going to overheat in the windows PE envirement
[07:02] <soreau> hilarie: Should write up a how-to on the forums
[07:02] <hilarie> @soreau Think its worth a writeup on a ubuntu forums anywhere?
[07:02] <soreau> heh
[07:02] <hilarie> hehe
[07:02] <bethdo> when I rebooted the 1st time rather than coming up to the desktop login screen it booted to a terminal like interface and we couldn't go any further.  what did I do wrong?
[07:02] <hilarie> I am gonna hold off writing it up until my vista partition boots up again, I may be destroying something lol

[07:02] <Diverdude> hello, I have 2 computers running ubuntu. When i do remote control of one computer from the other using the remote desktop tool, it is exremely laggy. Often the picture is not even transmitted even though its over cabled  local area network. How can i make the remote tool more usable?
[07:03] <soreau> john38: And which is the microphone controlled by? The intelhda I assume..
[07:03] <rumpe1> bethdo, what kind of terminal? grub-terminal or usual terminal?
[07:03] <john38> soreau, i think probably
[07:03] <bethdo> I don't know
[07:04] <soreau> Diverdude: You can try disabling desktop effects by selecting None in sys>prefs>appearance>visual effects
[07:04] <rumpe1> bethdo, can you login with username/password? ... then try "startx" in commandline
[07:04] <john38> soreau, should be intelhda
[07:04] <Diverdude> soreau, on the computer to be controlled?
[07:04] <soreau> bethdo: Can you explain what happens after you boot it exactly? How far does it get and how long does it take to get there?
[07:04] <ayush> Please Help! I can't connect my keyboard which has a PS2 port and I connect it with my laptop using a USB to PS2 converter cable.
[07:04] <Blue1> i am getting a weird message from update-manager preventing me from updating opera:  (64 bit 10.10)  The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources.
[07:04] <bethdo> it was asking for login and password and was telling me about packages and apps that could be updated
[07:04] <soreau> bethdo: Also, what kind of computer is it? How much ram does it have?
[07:05] <rumpe1> bethdo, very good... then enter "startx" as i told
[07:05] <soreau> ayush: Did you try connecting it then rebooting?
[07:05] <bethdo> sony vaio 4gb ram, new 500 gb hard drive.  nothing except ubuntu installed on it
[07:05] <Diverdude> soreau, it is already none
[07:05] <ayush> yes I tried but It didn't
[07:06] <Blue1> ayush: i had the same problem.  i got a ps/2 k/b the usb thing just never worked
[07:06] <toto__> bvg
[07:06] <ayush> BLUEl: any suggestions
[07:06] <Blue1> ayush: get a ps/2 keyboard
[07:06] <Diverdude> soreau, other solutions?
[07:07] <ayush> I have a PS2 keyboard
[07:07] <ayush> laptop has USB port
[07:07] <Blue1> ayush: i ended up having to take the usb keyboard and the adapter back, and bought a ps/2 keyboard
[07:07] <Blue1> i have 2 keyboard == one for each - seems usb to ps2 doesn't work well
[07:08] <john38> soreau, ?
[07:08] <ayush> What IT means UBUNTU can't recognize USB to PS2 Converter. But why
[07:08] <ayush> Any explanations
[07:08] <Blue1> ayush: the convertor doesn't work - nothing to do with ubuntu - it wouldn't work in windows either (for me)
[07:08] <soreau> ayush: Are you sure the keyboard is receiving enough power to function?
[07:08] <soreau> bethdo: I would try 'sudo service gdm start' and review the output of that, then try 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' and make sure all of those complete without error
[07:09] <ayush> Sir! I have flawlessly used it in windows, OPENSUSE
[07:09] <bethdo> the terminal interface was like the old c prompt in dos but i was unfamiliar with the architecture of the terminal command set up and commands I thought would be there kept saying not found
[07:09] <ayush> And yes it is receiving the enough power
[07:09] <ayush> the light glow
[07:10] <ayush> and fade as usual
[07:10] <soreau> john38: Sorry, had a network malfunction
[07:10] <Blue1> ayush: as with most things YMMV applies
[07:10] <soreau> bethdo: I would try 'sudo service gdm start' and review the output of that, then try 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' and make sure all of those complete without error
[07:10] <rumpe1> bethdo, which commands?
[07:11] <bethdo> list; update
[07:11] <ayush> YMMV?
[07:11] <Blue1> ayush: your mileage may vary
[07:11] <soreau> ayush: What is the line for the device in the output of lsusb?
[07:11] <bethdo> used the sudo preface on them and nothing
[07:12] <ayush> No Line for that!
[07:12] <bethdo> i finished reinstalling and got to the reboot screen, clicked the button, removed cd-rom screen went to black and says system is going down for reboot NOW!
[07:12] <rumpe1> bethdo, never heard of commands like "list" or "update" for linux
[07:12] <Diverdude> hello, I have 2 computers running ubuntu. When i do remote control of one computer from the other using the remote desktop tool, it is exremely laggy. Often the picture is not even transmitted even though its over cabled  local area network. How can i make the remote tool more usable?
[07:13] <bethdo> computer just seems to be stuck on this screen
[07:13] <omac> bethdo: when you say you did the "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart"         Did you see gdm stop, then blink a bit and then come back to the terminal?
[07:13] <ayush> I am pasting the output here http://paste.ubuntu.com/559413/
[07:13] <bethdo> no
[07:13] <omac> bethdo there is a way to reconfigure the xserver hangon.
[07:13] <Blue1> Diverdude: well reduce the colour depth to 8 bit.  you also might consider ssh for remote admin
[07:14] <Diverdude> Blue1, did that...cannot use neither ssh nor ssh -X has to be graphical where user can follow my actions
[07:14] <soreau> bethdo: So you're saying the live session worked fine to install ubuntu but when you rebooted, it wont boot?
[07:14] <omac> bethdo:  try this:  sudo dpgk-reconfigure gdm
[07:14] <Blue1> Diverdude: then reduce your colour depth. that's what I had to do.
[07:14] <bethdo> yea that is it in a nutshell
[07:14] <rumpe1> soreau, he boots to a login-shell .... like in recovery-mode i guess
[07:14] <delinquentme> anyone know what the ant package does?
[07:15] <Blue1> Diverdude: it's easy to do that in remote desktop
[07:15] <asfjio> hello, guys! why i can't mount samba share with normal user without using sudo? i got this error "mount.cifs: permission denied: no match for /path/to/mount/point found in /etc/fstab".
[07:16] <rumpe1> !ant
[07:16] <Diverdude> Blue1, yes it is, but it is already only 8 bit
[07:16] <Blue1> Diverdude: when you hit connect, there should be a dropdown menu toward the bottom that will let you choose the colour depth
[07:16] <john38> soreau, you there
[07:16] <bethdo> before the message about going down for reboot; their is a message "ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ -Broadcast message from root@ubuntu (unknown) at 2:09)"
[07:16] <shivaji> I've installed 10.10 and my mouse and keyboard freezing at any time, any solution?
[07:17] <Blue1> Diverdude: are the ports open in the router?  5900 iirc
[07:17] <Diverdude> Blue1, yes i know, i selected 8 bit already a long time ago
[07:17] <omac> bethdo: the resolution your card is delivering to the monitor is too high through gdm.  Try doing "ctrl-alt +" or "ctrl-alt -" to cycle through the different resolution profiles.
[07:17] <lwizardl> what would be the easiest ftp server to setup on linux ?
[07:17] <soreau> john38: yea
[07:17] <Diverdude> Blue1, hmm i guess so...if they would be closed i guess connection would not even be possible?
[07:17] <Diverdude> Blue1, its running on local network
[07:18] <john38> soreau, damn bro i guess you dont want to help
[07:18] <Blue1> Diverdude: true but indulge me, check the port forwarding.
[07:18] <bethdo> what does that have to do with the pause in rebooting?
[07:18] <Ascavasaion> My sound settings on the op panel has disappeared, as well as the shortcut I had there for Pidgin and chat.
[07:19] <soreau> ! intelhda | john38
[07:19] <omac> the pause when rebooting has something to do with probing for hardware.  By pressing enter, it will go straight to the gdm.
[07:20] <bethdo> pressing enter did nothing
[07:20] <Blue1> john38: click on a unused portion of the taskbar, then click on add to panel, then on indicator
[07:20] <omac> bethdo: just press enter a few times when rebooting...if not once, just press enter a few times more.  It should be running gdm login after that.
[07:20] <john38> Blue1, why
[07:20] <shivaji> I've installed 10.10 and my mouse and keyboard freezing at any time, any solution?
[07:20] <delinquentme> is there a way to list the recently installed programs .. from say the last 3 hours?
[07:21] <Blue1> john38: that will restore the speaker
[07:21] <soreau> bethdo: Can't you just reboot it and get to a prompt again?
[07:21] <john38> Blue1, no my mic is not working
[07:21] <omac> bethdo:  don't reboot
[07:21] <omac> bethdo:  there are virutal terminals available.
[07:21] <soreau> ! tty | bethdo
[07:22] <Blue1> john38: on then left click on the speaker, sound preferences, input, and choose your input
[07:22] <bethdo> hit enter several times nothing happens
[07:22] <omac> bethdo:  ctrl-alt f1 will give you another virtual terminal. You should see a login prompt.
[07:22] <bethdo> nope
[07:23] <bethdo> nothing happened with that either.
[07:23] <omac> bethdo: ctrl-alt f2 to f6 will do the same.  Then f7 or f8 is reserved for the default gdm session.
[07:23] <bethdo> its like the whole system has turned off except the display
[07:23] <john38> Blue1, only input i have is Internal Audio Analog Stereo
[07:23] <omac> bethdo:  you're telling me you can't see a terminal asking you to login after pressing three keys together at the same time:  ctrl   alt   F1?
[07:24] <bethdo> that is what I am telling you
[07:24] <Blue1> john38: input volume not muted, and microphone 1 selected?
[07:25] <Blue1> john38: not sure which is mic 1 and which is mic 2
[07:25] <john38> Blue1, not muted there is no microphone option
[07:25] <omac> bethdo: do me a favor. check your video cable connectors are well seated into the computer and the monitor at both ends.  Check your monitor power plug is well connected into the wall.  Turn off your monitor and then turn it on again.
[07:25] <bethdo> I have a blinking cursor under the system shutting down message and pressing ctrl alt and F1 - F6 did nothing
[07:26] <Blue1> john38: if you run alsamixer do you see one?
[07:26] <bethdo> Im on a laptop with this and everything is plugged in
[07:26] <john38> Blue1, how do you run that
[07:26] <omac> You said ubuntu 10.10?
[07:26] <Blue1> john38: from a terminal window
[07:26] <john38> Blue1, you mean gstreamer-properties
[07:26] <omac> bethdo: you installed ubuntu 10.10?
[07:26] <Blue1> john38: no
[07:27] <Blue1> john38: alsamixer
[07:27] <bethdo> yes downloaded the iso file for 10.10 i386
[07:27] <soreau> john38: In alsamixer, use arrow keys to navigate/adjust and 'm' to toggle mute on/off
[07:28] <bethdo> burned to disc and installed
[07:28] <gunndawg> when I get more RAM I might try the 64bit version of 10.10. Right now I've only got 2gb ram on this laptop so I am running the 32bit version
[07:28] <john38> Blue1, ok i just boosted mic
[07:28] <soreau> bethdo: Can you get to a terminal while you are talking here?
[07:28] <john38> Blue1, how do i test...
[07:28] <omac> bethdo:  Is this your first attempt without the CD since you installed it with 10.10?
[07:29] <Blue1> john38: best I can do.  try speaking into the mic and see if you can hear yourself in the speakers.
[07:29] <john38> Blue1, is it front mic or mic boost?
[07:29] <bethdo> yea, I am on my laptop and we are installing the OS on my son's laptop
[07:29] <bethdo> should I do a ctrl alt del to force restart of system?
[07:29] <omac> ok...stop rebooting.
[07:29] <soreau> bethdo: Are you at the command line now?
[07:30] <Blue1> john38: i dont have mic boost on mic boost on mine, dont know
[07:30] <Blue1> john38: i don't have mic boost on mine --
[07:31] <bethdo> no when I tried the Ctrl alt del the screen tells me its going down for reboot and that those are the buttons I pressed
[07:31] <omac> bethdo:  I would have recommended to try to reconfigure your son's machine remotely on another computer, but you probably didn't install ssh when you installed everything did you?
[07:31] <bethdo> should I force shut down by holding in the power button?
[07:31] <Cyd> try dancing
[07:31] <bethdo> no
[07:31] <Cyd> this helps when im in stressful situations
[07:31] <bethdo> i don't dane
[07:31] <bethdo> dance
[07:32] <omac> bethdo:  if you're stuck in shutdown yes.  hold the power button until it's off.
[07:32] <soreau> bethdo: If it's still stuck, try entering these letters in sequence while holding down Alt+Print Screen R+E+I+S+U+B
[07:32] <john38> Blue1, i still dont see in sound prefernces
[07:32] <john38> Blue1, how do i test mic
[07:32] <Blue1> john38: what sound card do you have?
[07:32] <soreau> bethdo: If that doesn't respond, then hold the power button
[07:32] <bethdo> computer is off now.
[07:33] <bethdo> what is ssh?
[07:33] <soreau> john38: Turn on the boost and turn up the mic, then turn up the main and pcm audio and try tapping on the mic to see if you hear any output from the speakers
[07:33] <john38> Blue1, it sayd Card: HDA ATI SB...Chip: Realtek ALC269
[07:33] <Blue1> !ssh | bethdo
[07:33] <soreau> ! ssh | bethdo
[07:33] <omac> It's a tool to allow you to remotely access your computer if you installed it.  It's not installed by default.
[07:33] <Blue1> john38: do this:  lspci | grep Audio
[07:34] <bethdo> turned back on and we are rebooting
[07:34] <mythid> Can anyone help me out with a question
[07:34] <omac> bethdo: ok.
[07:34] <Blue1> mythid: depends on question
[07:34] <omac> press enter if it delays at the startup sequence.
[07:34] <mythid> It has to do with me trying to install lubuntu
[07:34] <Ascavasaion> My sound settings on the op panel has disappeared, as well as the shortcut I had there for Pidgin and chat.
[07:34] <mythid> I think i screwed up the pc i tried to do it with
[07:34] <Ascavasaion> op=top
[07:34] <bethdo> is there a tutorialwhere I can work on teaching myself more about linux and ubuntu?
[07:34] <omac> bethdo: press enter if it delays at the startup sequence.
[07:35] <bethdo> back to a login screen
[07:35] <Blue1> mythid: i am the wrong guy for that - never heard of lubuntu
[07:35] <omac> bethdo: good
[07:35] <soreau> bethdo: Now login and run 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' to update the system, then try 'sudo service gdm restart' to try and start gdm to login to X
[07:35] <mythid> Ok well still
[07:35] <Blue1> Ascavasaion: did you try clicking on an unused portion of the taskbar, then add to panel, then indicator?
[07:35] <mythid> basically what i did is made a whole partition for the install of lubuntu and the installer failed, faulty disc or whatever and shut me down. Now i boot up and don't get a splash screen or anything just a black screen with a blinking cursor
[07:36] <john38> Blue1, you want me pastebin
[07:36] <bethdo> it is asking for a password
[07:36] <Blue1> john38: you should have gotten back just 1 line past here
[07:36] <mythid> lubuntu is a lighter form of ubuntu because i was using my old pc for this
[07:36] <bethdo> is that the keyring one or the regular one
[07:36] <omac> bethdo: good  enter the password you gave that user.
[07:36] <Ascavasaion> Blue1: Oh, perfect.  Thank you.  I was looking for an applet with speaker etc on it.  Thank you so much.
[07:36] <soreau> mythid: Try the installer again?
[07:36] <Blue1> Ascavasaion: welcome
[07:36] <omac> your administrator one.
[07:37] <mythid> It won't boot from disc because it doesnt even give me a splash screen I don't even think the bios is still there
[07:37] <Blue1> mythid: maybe someone here is fam. with that, but I am not.
[07:37] <omac> bethdo: it is the user "root"'s password...he's the adminstrator.
[07:37] <john38> Blue1, 00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) (rev 40)
[07:37] <bethdo> a boat load of failed to fetch errors filled the screen and now back to login
[07:38] <Blue1> john38: okay pretty standard guy.  you are using 10.10?
[07:38] <bethdo> index files failed to download and they have been ignored
[07:38] <geegeegee> Is there something that i can change somebodys shell to, that they will stay logged in, but wont be able to type any comands?
[07:38] <omac> while you're doing sudo stuff, please consider doing:  sudo apt-get install ssh
[07:38] <Blue1> omac: don't forget openssh-server
[07:38] <omac> bethdo: that's possibly because you're not on the internet with your sony vaio
[07:38] <dandaman> can anyone explain to me why ubuntu is such a pain in the ass to install?
[07:38] <john38> Blue1, 10.04
[07:38] <soreau> Blue1: indeed
[07:39] <omac> blue1:  the ssh package is a virtual package which pulls in the openssh package
[07:39] <soreau> ! details | dandaman
[07:39] <mythid> So can anyone help me if I don't see a splash screen and I'm not getting the option to boot from cd, all i get is a black screen with a blinking cursor, is there anyway to install ubuntu still and actually get an os on this old pos?
[07:39] <Blue1> omac: ahh I have to install sep. on mine
[07:39] <Blue1> john38: don't know in 10.04 --
[07:39] <soreau> mythid: Do you see your bios splash screen?
[07:40] <mythid> soreau: nope
[07:40] <Geoffrey2> how exactly do you go about uploading music to your Ubuntu One cloud?
[07:40] <Cyd> you dance
[07:40] <soreau> mythid: Well that's probably not good. Might want to ask in #hardware
[07:40] <omac> bethdo:  did you configure the network for your sony vaio yet.  If you're using some router like dlink with 4 ports, just type in:  dhclient
[07:40] <Blue1> Geoffrey2: don't know but if it's like dropbox, just copy/paste
[07:40] <omac> Then you'll be up on the internet.
[07:41] <mythid> ok I'll try that the computer is more of my experiment but I'm just seeing if i can get it to work now that i fudged it up
[07:41] <mythid> How do i get invited to the hardware channel?
[07:41] <soreau> mythid: /j #hardware
[07:41] <omac> bethdo: dhclient......then you will be up on the internet and when you do the 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade'
[07:42] <mythid> Says it's invite only
[07:42] <soreau> mythid: ##hardware
[07:42] <Blue1> john38: another quick question before my brain completely turns to jello, 64 bit or 32 bit?
[07:42] <bethdo> we have a sagem 1704 2 wire modem/router
[07:43] <bethdo> when we installed we put in the wpa-2 PW and connected to the network
[07:43] <dandaman> i'm on windows 7, i downloaded ubuntu 10.10, i am using universal usb installer 1.8.2.9 to put it on my usb flash drive to boot from so i can install, is there another recommended way or is using the usb installer generally pretty safe?
[07:43] <omac> bethdo: you won't have index files failed to download errors.
[07:43] <bethdo> 32 bit
[07:43] <Blue1> dandaman: yeah I do that with my netbook I;ve had no probs
[07:44] <omac> bethdo:  login at the terminal and just do dhclient and let the magic happen.
[07:44] <sarthor> Hi, i want to copy .iso image of 4.1 GB, from the home directory to my usb drive, but it says. " scp Al-Safa.iso /media/Amazai/Software-iso/ "  " cp: writing `/media/Amazai/Software-iso/Al-Safa.iso': File too large ", How can i copy this image to USB drive?
[07:44] <Blue1> dandaman: just make sure the bios is set to boot off of usb is all
[07:44] <omac> ping google or something to make sure you're on the net.
[07:44] <bethdo> can't creaate permission denied
[07:44] <soreau> dandaman: usb installer should work fine as long as the image is good
[07:44] <Blue1> john38: my brain is toast - but this may/may not help:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/
[07:45] <Blue1> night folks
[07:45] <bethdo> when trying to do the dhclient
[07:45] <john38> Blue1, 32bit pae
[07:45] <omac> bethdo: "can't create permission denied."  What are you referring to.
[07:45] <void_pointer> bethdo "sudo dhclient"
[07:45] <john38> Blue1, im using this ...https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto
[07:45] <dandaman> ok i just reinstalled it on my usb flash drive for like the 5th time(it booted live once, the 2nd time, for some reason but hasn't worked since)
[07:45] <mythid> how do i register with the irc server
[07:45] <dandaman> going to try booting live now
[07:46] <dandaman> watch it get stuck
[07:46] <soreau> ! register | mythid
[07:46] <mythid> !register mythid
[07:46] <geegeegee> Is there something that i can change somebodys shell to, that they will stay logged in, but wont be able to type any comands?
[07:46] <soreau> dandaman: Have you tried a cd?
[07:46] <bethdo> getting a bunch of dhcpdiscover on wlan messages
[07:46] <dandaman> soreau: yeah, the burn got botched
[07:46] <anto> ciao a tutti
[07:47] <dandaman> oh wow, look at that, it actually got to the ubuntu splash screen this time
[07:47] <dandaman> and loaded, time to restart and install to drive
[07:47] <omac> bethdo: good.  wait for it...when it's done you'll have your net up and then you can do the update commands above.
[07:48] <omac> bethdo:  while you're at it, after the update, before rebooting, install the ssh package too.  sudo apt-get install ssh
[07:48] <soreau> omac: you're assuming dhclient will succeed ;)
[07:48] <omac> yes.
[07:49] <john38> soreau, hey how do i know if i have analog or digital mic
[07:49] <pratz> how to use gdm as default ??
[07:50] <Traveler> trying to mount my sda / sdb to live CD and having trouble - either can't find it or don't understand the -t parm.
[07:51] <soreau> john38: mics are analog devices. the audio hardware turns the microphone signal into a digital format AFAIU
[07:51] <john38> soreau, ok
[07:51] <bethdo> tried that - no dice but something message says "something wicked happened resolving us.archive.ubuntu.com and resolving security.ubuntu.com :http (-5-no address associated with host name)
[07:51] <omac> soreau: the wireless router is already configured for the outside world using their other computers in the house.  All it's going to do is request for an ip address wirelessly.  dhclient stands for dynamic host control protocol client...it's the handshaking responsible for assigning the ip addresses all the different devices in the network at home.
[07:51] <omac> bethdo:  ping www.google.com
[07:51] <soreau> omac: Yes but just as in this case, it does not always succeed ;)
[07:52] <omac> bethdo: ifconfig
[07:52] <upsla> usb adsl modem problem.running ubuntu 10.10.the modem runs in window 7.
[07:52] <atxq> how can i add a user to group? sudo adduser <group> <user>?
[07:52] <bethdo> glad  that all the programmers associated with programing ubuntu and linux have a sense of humor
[07:52] <mythid> Anybody good with bios related stuff
[07:52] <bethdo> is that sudo ifconfig or just ifconfig?
[07:53] <omac> just ifconfig
[07:53] <omac> bethdo:  or if you want to completely avoid sudo all the time, just do sudo bash and then you become the superuser called "root".
[07:53] <Us3r_Unfriendly> hi room
[07:53] <void_pointer> omac oh my, how un-ubuntu ;)
[07:54] <bethdo> it now still says thee something wicked message but appears to be downloading something from somewhere??  up tto 13 %
[07:54] <gunndawg> hi Us3r_Unfriendly
[07:54] <Us3r_Unfriendly> omac: being root is not a good thing
[07:54] <omac> yeah i know.
[07:54] <Us3r_Unfriendly> omac: i should know with my week of ubuntu and java virus
[07:54] <omac> we're in the middle of a fix here so going superuser isn't bad.  It's all good.
[07:54] <gunndawg> Us3r_Unfriendly, thanks for turning me onto Weechat btw, lovin it
[07:54] <Us3r_Unfriendly> thank god i wasn't using firefox as root
[07:55] <gunndawg> Us3r_Unfriendly, how did you get a java virus ?
[07:55] <Aginor> Us3r_Unfriendly: java virus?
[07:55] <soreau> bethdo: You can use Ctrl+Alt+1-6 to get to the 6 available tty's if you want to run other commands while waiting for that to download
[07:55] <upsla> adding info:modem name beetel 100 cx ,usb adsl modem connected with usb cable.comes with conexant chipset,problem:doesnot work in ubuntu 10.10
[07:55] <void_pointer> omac heh, yeah, I'm all for it. Was just anticipating the peanut galleries comments ..
[07:55] <Us3r_Unfriendly> gunndawg: it's good to hear that, no problem...it's very good to have a cli irc client just in case your X stops working and you only have a tty screen
[07:55] <mythid> ugh nobody can help me :(
[07:56] <Us3r_Unfriendly> Aginor: yes, in all my years in linux, not once did i get a virus...untill this week
[07:56] <omac> bethdo:  is your update happening ok?
[07:56] <bethdo> ok will do
[07:56] <gunndawg> Us3r_Unfriendly, I uninstalled Xchat, lol
[07:56] <bethdo> yes it appears to be doing something
[07:56] <Traveler> mount is fussing at me....  what is -t parm supposed to be ?   I am using ext3 / ext4 and it fusses about either one.
[07:57] <omac> bethdo: you mean it's downloading and it's showing download progress messages?
[07:57] <Us3r_Unfriendly> gunndawg: well xchat i hear is good too, but i love cli so i'll probably always use irssi and wee-chat
[07:57] <mythid> why won't it let me into the hardware channell
[07:57] <gunndawg> Us3r_unfriendly, define CLI for me, please
[07:57] <upsla> adding info:modem name beetel 100 cx ,usb adsl modem connected with usb cable.comes with conexant chipset problem:doesnot work in ubuntu 10.10
[07:57] <Progal> pls how can i remove wine completely
[07:57] <Aginor> Us3r_Unfriendly: o you know what type of virus / where you got it from? - I'm curious about it since I haven't heard of java viruses before
[07:57] <Us3r_Unfriendly> Traveler: -t is the file system
[07:57] <dandaman> http://i54.tinypic.com/2072plv.jpg
[07:57] <Us3r_Unfriendly> Aginor: now this is going to sound unreal
[07:57] <soreau> bethdo: When you got the image to burn to disk, did you check the md5sum or run the built in disk checker utility on the disk?
[07:58] <crankharder> how do I install bridge-utils on my virtual box guest machine, if that guest machine doesn't have networking yet?
[07:58] <dandaman> after bootling live, i restarted, booted from usb, ran install on hard disk
[07:58] <mythid> How can i get into the hardware channel anyone know?
[07:58] <dandaman> and now im stuck in the area you see in that image
[07:58] <soreau> mythid: #hardware is probably for freenode staff or some other non-public chat
[07:58] <Us3r_Unfriendly> Aginor: but i was trying to download ubuntu 4.10 from "www.thepiratebay.org", I believe one of the pop ups from that site gave it to me.  that site is always getting hacked
[07:59] <soreau> ! ot | Us3r_Unfriendly
[07:59] <Us3r_Unfriendly> Aginor: and it didn't go beyond my home directory but it was spread out in various places on my home directory
[07:59] <bethdo> yes and it checkeed ok
[07:59] <Us3r_Unfriendly> soreau: i know
[08:00] <dandaman> anyone wanna take a peek at my issue? i keep getting stuck, http://i54.tinypic.com/2072plv.jpg when trying to install to hard disk
[08:00] <Aginor> soreau: we'll behave
[08:00] <dandaman> ubuntu 10.10
[08:00] <john38> soreau, how do you save when you open conf file in terminal
[08:00] <omac> bethdo:  where are you at?
[08:00] <Us3r_Unfriendly> john38: how so?
[08:00] <Aginor> Us3r_Unfriendly: see PM
[08:00] <omac> bethdo:  did you do all the updates?  did you install ssh just in case?
[08:00] <Us3r_Unfriendly> john38: you using "echo", vim, nano?
[08:00] <soreau> john38: Which editor are you using?
[08:01] <bethdo> when I chang to a different tty to run more commands do I have to do the sudo dhclient again to connect
[08:01] <john38> Us3r_Unfriendly, nano
[08:01] <omac> bethdo:  if so, type in reboot and press enter.
[08:01] <soreau> dandaman: Is it stuck at this point? Are the LED's on the keyboard blinking?
[08:01] <soreau> bethdo: no
[08:01] <soreau> john38: Ctrl+X then y and enter
[08:01] <soreau> IIRC
[08:01] <john38> soreau, ok
[08:02] <superxgl> hi all
[08:02] <omac> bethdo:  you only need to do dhclient once, when you turn on the computer.
[08:02] <geegeegee> Is there something that i can change somebodys shell to, that they will stay logged in, but wont be able to type any comands? I have tried a bash script with a while loop inside it, but it uses 100% CPU while they are logged in.
[08:02] <bethdo> on tty2 thhe somethhing wicked mice have jumped in again
[08:02] <superxgl> i got into a problem, when i type " service network restart', it gives me the message :eth0 has different MAC address than expected, ignoring
[08:02] <dandaman> soreau: LED's on the keyboard never blink.... but nothing is blinking on my pc, i can hear the hard disk moving even though it shouldn't be, i'm not doing anything with the hd, so it must beunrelated
[08:02] <Us3r_Unfriendly> john38: ctrl and x
[08:02] <superxgl> could any one help me with this ?
[08:03] <soreau> geegeegee: 1) I don't see a legitimate reason to do that 2) What does it have to do with ubuntu? 3) Tried ##linux?
[08:03] <x20twelve> hello?
[08:03] <geegeegee> soreau, I have friends that use my VPS for SSH tunneling, I dont want them using it for anything else.
[08:03] <dandaman> soreau: any idea?
[08:03] <soreau> superxgl: Have you recently switched network hardware?
[08:03] <omac> bethdo:  once you have the gui up with gdm though, you might not even have to do that.  It should automatically start it up from the gui.
[08:03] <x20twelve> im brand new to ubuntu
[08:04] <x20twelve> 10.04 and up wont work on my system
[08:04] <superxgl> soreau: no, i have not
[08:04] <x20twelve> but 9.04 works fine
[08:04] <x20twelve> does ubuntu have webcam support?
[08:04] <Us3r_Unfriendly> john38: it also depends if your editing a file other than in your home directory.  say if i want to go edit my sudoers file in ubuntu, i'd have to type in "sudo visudo" which will give you a shell with root permission to edit that file.  otherwise without sudo it won't let you mod your file
[08:04] <bethdo> why is it going so slow doing the updates?
[08:04] <soreau> superxgl: Is it causing a problem for you?
[08:05] <soreau> x20twelve: up wont work?
[08:05] <bethdo> upgrades anren't connecting at all.  Something wicked surely has taken over
[08:05] <john38> soreau, damn i tried guide here still no go...https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto
[08:05] <superxgl> soreau :　　yes, the eth0 can not active,
[08:05] <x20twelve> 10.04 or 10.10
[08:05] <x20twelve> im runnin 9.04 right now
[08:05] <l0c4luser> are ubuntu kernel exploits updated automaticly? ive read up some 32 bit kernel exploit recently
[08:05] <soreau> superxgl: What card is it as reported by lspci?
[08:06] <omac> bethdo:  1)Because you are doing the updates wirelessly. 2)because this is the first round of updates you've done for 10.10.  once it's up to date, it won't be as painful.

[08:10] <gunndawg> no freedom, bound to limits, etc
[08:10] <omac> bethdo:  do you have an inet addr: xxx.xxx.xx.xxx?
[08:11] <x20twelve> lol @ windows slave
[08:11] <gunndawg> My only regret with LINUX is that I didnt convert years ago, heh:)
[08:11] <gunndawg> oops
[08:12] <gunndawg> meant to type :) some how I reprinted an earlier statement
[08:12] <bethdo> yes it appears to be a v6 address
[08:12] <mythid> can someone help me with picking the right ubuntu distro
[08:12] <john38> soreau, nope nothing
[08:12] <gunndawg> but yeah, windows seems soooo locked down and limited after using linux
[08:12] <omac> that's ok.
[08:12] <superxgl> soreau : Ethernet Controller:  Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5722 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express
[08:12] <bethdo> HWaddr 00:1a:80:0a:75:31
[08:12] <x20twelve> so where can i find a list of supported webcams that'd work with ubuntu?
[08:13] <omac> ping ipv6.google.com
[08:13] <soreau> ! webcam | x20twelve
[08:13] <x20twelve> ahhh nice thanx
[08:13] <omac> bethdo: oops....ping6 ipv6.google.com
[08:13] <x20twelve> how about compiz stuff?
[08:13] <mythid> I have a dell xps 140 that has 80 gigs of hd space 512 ram and an intel pentium m 770 1.73 ghz what version of ubuntu should i use
[08:13] <x20twelve> ! compiz
[08:13] <x20twelve> ;)
[08:13] <omac> bethdo:  ping6 ping6
[08:14] <john38> dammit...
[08:14] <omac> bethdo: hwaddr is not the ip address.
[08:14] <FloatingGoat> hey i have a question, the search bar in firefox isnt working ever since I tried installing java, should I reinstall firefox?
[08:15] <mythid> anyone willing to help me?
[08:15] <john38> soreau, let me try deactivate pulseaudio
[08:15] <omac> bethdo:  you ip address is going to be something like:  inet6 addr: fe80::226:2dff:fe39:2600/64    or   inet addr:216.66.137.68
[08:15] <soreau> john38: yes I was thinking the same
[08:15] <bethdo> that is the only address I see
[08:15] <bethdo> unknown host was response for the ping
[08:15] <guest> is there any way to format a drive to NTFS with ubuntu
[08:15] <soreau> bethdo: Can you just try 'sudo service gdm restart' to see what happens?
[08:16] <omac> Bethdo:  HWaddr 00:1a:80:0a:75:31 is not an ipv4 address or ipv6 address.  It's a hardware address.
[08:16] <x20twelve> how do i change so i have the 4 screen cubed desktop instead of the measly 2?
[08:16] <bethdo> ok my mistake
[08:16] <omac> bethdo:  ifconfig and then show me the results
[08:17] <andy__> hi
[08:17] <soreau> x20twelve: Make sure both 'Desktop Cube' and 'Rotate Cube' are enabled in !ccsm.  Then, in General Options --> Desktop Size, set the horizontal virtual size to 4.  Then you can grab the desktop with control+alt+left-mouse-button, and drag the cube around, or rotate the cube with control+alt+left/right.
[08:17] <bethdo> if I do the sudo service restart will that stop the download happening on tty1?
[08:17] <x20twelve> !ccsm
[08:17] <guest> what's an easy to use partitioning program?
[08:17] <bethdo> ok got a internet address now
[08:17] <omac> bethdo: what service do you want to restart?  It depends.
[08:18] <x20twelve> where do i find ccsm
[08:18] <soreau> bethdo: No it will attempt to restart gdm and hopefully present you with a graphical login screen or, some useful output as to why it's failing
[08:18] <FloatingGoat> x20twelve: in the software center
[08:18] <x20twelve> ok
[08:18] <superxgl> soreau : do u think there is some problem with my kernel?
[08:18] <omac> bethdo:  if you just want to restart the gnome display manager, you can go ahead.  type: /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[08:18] <soreau> superxgl: I don't know, is there? :)
[08:18] <superxgl> yeah
[08:19] <superxgl> hmm..
[08:19] <x20twelve> ccsm - says no matching application available
[08:19] <espansbab> hey wazzup
[08:19] <omac> bethdo:  only do this after the update is complete.
[08:19] <superxgl> it is a very strange problem
[08:19] <mythid> can anyone assist me with picking the right version of ubuntu for my laptop
[08:19] <x20twelve> im running 9.04
[08:19] <soreau> superxgl: The only thing I see from googling is that broadcom has released the hardware specifications for this chip so there should be an open driver in the works somewhere I imagine
[08:19] <espansbab> soreau: do you know about mailwasher?
[08:20] <soreau> espansbab: Does it have anything to do with ubuntu?
[08:20] <bethdo> should I restart the get update & get upgrade downloads?
[08:20] <espansbab> soreau: yeah i think
[08:20] <omac> bethdo:  there's no point to do it now because the latest patches to whatever devices drivers you happening to be using are on your machine yet.
[08:20] <nunya> is there someway to have ubuntu start with bluetooth off?
[08:20] <soreau> espansbab: Doesn't sound like it
[08:20] <espansbab> soreau: im looking for a mailwasher for my ubuntu
[08:20] <superxgl> soreau : so u mean i should download a driver and install for it ?
[08:21] <omac> bethdo:  they are possible still on tty2...go there:  ctrl-alt F2.
[08:21] <soreau> superxgl: Well I didn't find any driver yet
[08:21] <delinquentme> can i change the path /command thats run when clicking an icon in the applications drop down menu?
[08:21] <omac> or on TT1...ctrl alt F1
[08:21] <superxgl> hmm...so bad
[08:21] <espansbab> soreau: ahh, ok
[08:21] <x20twelve> TripleD: so i cant find the software center
[08:22] <omac> gnite.  it's 3:20am here.

[08:22] <john38> soreau, no webcam option
[08:22] <john38> soreau, strange im able to get video but no mic
[08:23] <bethdo> the something wicked has returned
[08:23] <soreau> john38: That isn't strange.. video and audio are controlled by two different subsystems
[08:23] <superxgl> soreau : i think maybe the kernel did not load the module for it
[08:23] <john38> soreau, yeah but webcam is integrated with mic
[08:24] <mythid> can anyone please help me pick out the right version of ubuntu for my laptop

[08:24] <john38> soreau, it should
[08:24] <soreau> john38: Did you check the output of 'lsusb' for the mic?
[08:24] <john38> soreau, i dont know which one it is
[08:25] <soreau> x20twelve: You really need to upgrade your ubuntu
[08:25] <x20twelve> best i can upgrade to would be 9.10
[08:25] <soreau> x20twelve: What graphics card is it?
[08:25] <x20twelve> 10.10 wont work on my system and neither would 10.04
[08:25] <mythid> john38:I have a dell xps 140 that has 80 gigs of hd space 512 ram and an intel pentium m 770 1.73 ghz will 10.04 run well on that?
[08:25] <x20twelve> nvidia GeForce 150LE
[08:25] <x20twelve> on board tho
[08:26] <mythid> anyone know if the latest version of ubuntu will run on those specs i gave?
[08:26] <delinquentme> OO OOO! is there a way to run a program from the command prompt .. while allowing you to EXIT the command prompt .. without killing said program?
[08:26] <nunya> is there someway to have ubuntu start with bluetooth off?
[08:27] <norfik> put & at end with space
[08:27] <soreau> x20twelve: Ok. Pastebin the output of 'compiz --replace ccp' from your terminal to ubuntu.pastebin.com
[08:27] <bethdo> it is downloadding on tty1 and has 87% left.  I am going to laydown and get a little rest while it is doing this
[08:28] <delinquentme> norfik, was that to me?
[08:29] <Traveler> How to mount LVM_member ?   mount does not recognize it.  I am in liveCD
[08:29] <mythid> can anyone confirm 10.04 will run on my specs?
[08:29] <soreau> nunya: chmod -x /etc/init.d/bluetooth
[08:29] <mythid> before i go through the hassle of burning a cd
[08:30] <soreau> mythid: Why not get 10.10?
[08:30] <mythid> doesnt it require more
[08:30] <x20twelve> heres the pastebin
[08:30] <x20twelve> http://pastebin.ca/2040750
[08:30] <john38> soreau, http://paste.ubuntu.com/559424/
[08:30] <mythid> my specs are I have a dell xps 140 that has 80 gigs of hd space 512 ram and an intel pentium m 770 1.73 ghz
[08:30] <nunya> soreau: thank you, I'm going to give it a shot
[08:31] <soreau> x20twelve: That output is normal which means compiz should be working
[08:31] <soreau> nunya: Use the same command but with +x to make it executable again
[08:32] <x20twelve> sorry here
[08:32] <x20twelve> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/0QGEd6tt
[08:32] <x20twelve> ok so im only seeing 2 screens instead of 4 how do i set that
[08:32] <nunya> soreau: ohhhhhhhhh I see... but I'd rather be able to just have it start up off, and then be able to work with the bluetooth applet to turn it on
[08:33] <Loshki> mythid: just burn a live cd and try it...
[08:33] <anup_> too much bug in ubuntu
[08:33] <anup_> too much bug in 10.10
[08:33] <gunndawg> anup_, no bugs for me
[08:33] <john38> soreau, ?
[08:34] <anup_> i got too much problem
[08:34] <anup_> shiting in ubuntu 10.04
[08:34] <soreau> x20twelve: I told you already
[08:34] <x20twelve> yu told me what to do, not where to find the stuff to do it
[08:34] <gunndawg> anup_, linux is not spoon fed to you like winbloz, you have to use the system
[08:35] <john38> soreau, anything from the output
[08:35] <Aginor> gunndawg: I disagree with your attitude, there is no reason why linux cannot be as user friendly or user friendlier than windows
[08:35] <soreau> x20twelve: 1) Open ccsm by typing ccsm in your terminal or finding it in sys>prefs> 2) In General Options > Desktop Size, set the horizontal virtual size to 4. 3) Done.
[08:36] <gunndawg> Aginor, it is for me, but then again I tweak it and learn the system enough to make it friendl
[08:36] <nunya> soreau: also, that command didn't work, does it matter that my bluetooth is usb external?
[08:36] <soreau> ! ot | Aginor gunndawg
[08:36] <soreau> ! work | nunya
[08:36] <baltazor> Hello, What is max block size for Ext4 ?
[08:37] <soreau> nunya: It prevents the service from starting in the first place. To disable it, use 'sudo service bluetooth stop'
[08:37] <dortmouth> hello
[08:37] <x20twelve> just typed ccsm in terminal says its not currently installed. says how to install it. so im going to install it as directed...?
[08:37] <nunya> sudo service bluetooth stop
[08:37] <nunya> lol, oops
[08:37] <dortmouth> I really got a problem with my Ubu 10.10 system
[08:37] <soreau> x20twelve: Or have a 2 sided cube forever, it's really up to you :p
[08:37] <dortmouth> I messed with by installing the KDE 4.6 on my GNOME Maverick
[08:38] <x20twelve> i'd prefer the 4. got used to it when i had sabayon a few years back
[08:38] <nunya> soreau: bluetooth: unrecognized service
[08:38] <soreau> nunya: What about 'sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth stop' ?
[08:38] <dortmouth> and now it signs me off just 30 seconds or so after I log in into GNOME or Ubuntu Desktop edition
[08:38] <x20twelve> ok i got the compiz settings screen
[08:39] <nunya> soreau: /etc/init.d/bluetooth: command not found
[08:39] <nunya> soreau: though when i look into the /etc/init.d/ directory i see bluetooth there
[08:39] <Loshki> baltazor: dunno. But man mkfs.ext4 says the command only allows 1024, 2048 and 4096 for '-b block-size'...
[08:39] <soreau> nunya: You have it -x'd
[08:39] <nunya> soreau: ah, i'm gonna +x and try that last command
[08:39] <soreau> nunya: You have to rerun the chmod command with +x for it to be recognized
[08:40] <john38> Bus 002 Device 002: ID 064e:a216 Suyin Corp....can anybody tell me what driver i need
[08:40] <john38> to make microphone work
[08:40] <nunya> soreau: okay, now I get no response but bluetooth is still off... is there anyway to see what the command the applet is doing when it turns off the bluetooth, then I can just run that command at startup?
[08:41] <x20twelve> ok i got the cube workin now
[08:41] <nunya> soreau: I guess "no response" is a bad way to put it, i get no output, just a new command line
[08:41] <x20twelve> now to get background images behind the cube....is that hard?
[08:42] <soreau> john38: Have you tried looking at the output of 'dmesg' to see if there is any interesting messages?
[08:42] <soreau> nunya: try service bluetooth restart

[08:43] <FloodBot1> guest1: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:43] <soreau> x20twelve: A skydome is the background image you see when rotating the cube. It can be set in ccsm>Desktop>Desktop Cube>Appearance>Skydome.  Skydome images can be jpeg, png, or svg (if the relevant image-handling plugin is loaded).
[08:43] <amit> port 443 tcp open means?

[08:50] <gunndawg> whats the apt command to update GRUP ?
[08:50] <dosydoo1234> Loshki: the disk utility has check filesystem and repair but it says drive is busy so i think i need to restart at command line ?
[08:50] <pscoe2> apt command... use update-grub
[08:51] <the_pharoah> how do i get an invite to the java online chat?
[08:51] <dosydoo1234> Loshki: but not sure how to do this
[08:51] <Loshki> dosydoo1234: and do you also understand that 'funny noises' from a disk usually mean a hardware failure, something that probably can't be fixed via fsck?
[08:51] <guest1> the drive is /dev/sdb1 so i entered "umount /dev/sdb1" and it returned the drive is mounted
[08:51] <gunndawg> so whats the terminal command to update grup ?
[08:51] <eXpLoD> can anybody tell me the package name of a good irc client(except irssi)?
[08:51] <gunndawg> I forgot it
[08:51] <pscoe2> sudo update-grub to update grub.cfg enteries and sudo grub-install for installing/updating grub
[08:51] <gunndawg> eXpLoD, try Xchat
[08:52] <guest1> so then i entered "umount /dev" and it output " "umount: device is busy. (In some cases useful info" etc
[08:52] <dosydoo1234> Loshki: it happened before and i wiped it and started again and it was fine but maybe fsck will do it ?
[08:53] <dosydoo1234> Loshki: i have tried shutdown - r F but that did not work
[08:53] <Loshki> dosydoo1234: it's worth trying. which disk is it?
[08:53] <guest1> i have no clue how to find the processes that are using the device
[08:53] <dosydoo1234> Loshki: it is my only disk the one that the system is mounted on
[08:53] <x20twelve> ok so the images i choose do not work in skydome. any reason why? they are jpg
[08:54] <dosydoo1234> Loshki: i suppose i dont know how to start 10.10 in command line and then run the fsk command
[08:54] <soreau> x20twelve: Do you have jpg plugin enabled?
[08:54] <Loshki> dosydoo1234: try the forcefsck trick here: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-force-fsck-on-the-next-reboot-or-boot-sequence/
[08:55] <x20twelve> soreau: where would i find plugins to be enabled or disabled?

[08:56] <soreau> made2shred: You can use a compositing manager like compiz or some programs allow to set transparency for their background
[08:56] <barf> How can I make a local apt repo?
[08:56] <x20twelve> does the image have to be a certain size or would ubuntu compensate?
[08:56] <made2shred> soreau: i have CCSM
[08:57] <soreau> john38: I'm having trouble finding information about your device. Is it in the supported list here?:
[08:57] <john38> soreau, just Internal Audio Analog Stereo
[08:57] <soreau> ! webcam | john38
[08:57] <Loshki> dosydoo1234: Sorry dunno. I don't run gdm. Can you boot a live cd? That's probably next easiest
[08:57] <soreau> made2shred: Then use obs plugin
[08:57] <john38> soreau, its new laptop
[08:57] <dosydoo1234> Loshki: cant believe 10.10 does not have the option to start at command line
[08:57] <soreau> made2shred: The Opacity, Brightness and Saturation plugin is responsible for the opacity (transparency), brightness (brightness) and saturation (of color) for all windows. It can be found in !ccsm > Accessibility
[08:57] <made2shred> ok thanks
[08:58] <Promethes> who destroyed samba server package in ubuntu 10.4 recently? Now i am unable to browse shares in my organization
[08:58] <dosydoo1234> does anyone in the room know how to start ubuntu 10.10 at command line so that i can run a disk check ?
[08:58] <soreau> dosydoo1234: Select Recovery Mode from the grub menu
[08:59] <eXpLoD> i am using xchat and it doesn't let me to join a channel
[08:59] <dosydoo1234> soreau: how do i get to the grub menu
[08:59] <Loshki> dosydoo1234: not sure it would help anyway. You still can't fsck a disk partition while you're running from it...
[09:00] <soreau> dosydoo1234: When your machine boots, press shift or are you using a live cd?
[09:00] <dash9> Hi, I went to System -> About Ubuntu and it sais I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwahl released in April 2011. Why? I was thinking I'm using Maverick..
[09:00] <Loshki> eXpLoD: many channels require you register first
[09:00] <Loshki> !regist | eXpLoD
[09:00] <Loshki> !register | eXpLoD
[09:01] <eXpLoD> is there any command to do so my irc client(xchat) doesnt show up the server messages(x has joined etc)?
[09:01] <dosydoo1234> soreau: ok will do thanks guys im off to try this
[09:01] <yondering> dosydoo1234, in a terminal:  sudo touch /forcefsck
[09:01] <yondering> dosydoo1234, then reboot.  It'll run fsck at next boot.
[09:01] <guest1> ok so i unmounted the disk and tried reformatting again and it gave me the same error about the disk being in use would rebooting really do anything if I'm running live from a flash drive?
[09:02] <ops> Hello All: I am on a ubuntu-10.10 machine ; how canI find out whether its desktop or server edition.
[09:02] <soreau> guest1: I would reboot it and do it right the first time
[09:02] <Loshki> guest1: are you sure it unmounted? df -h shows it's gone?
[09:02] <guest1> let me check
[09:02] <guest1> yeah
[09:02] <poccha> hello, i just tried to set up teamspeak on an ubuntu server. when only using the root user it works fine but when usind a specific ts user im getting nowhere. i cant even download the install file as a non-root user.  what can i do about it ?
[09:02] <guest1> ooo well actually
[09:02] <guest1> nvm
[09:03] <guest1> it's renamed
[09:03] <frybye> hi - a couple of weeks ago I had installed kindle for pc running under wine with 10.10 with no problem at all .. had to reinstall 10.10 afresh yesterday and now a new installation of kindle for pc not working.. done all the stuff google finds but no joy...??
[09:03] <guest1> i will try to unmount this
[09:03] <soreau> poccha: Do you know if it uses a low number port?
[09:03] <guest1> and try again if that doesn't work i'll reboot
[09:03] <poccha> soreau teamspeak uses a high port
[09:03] <poccha> 9987
[09:03] <guest1> thanks for the help hopefully this will work
[09:04] <eXpLoD> is there any command to do so my irc client(xchat) doesnt show up the server messages(x has joined etc)?
[09:04] <soreau> poccha: Have you tried deleting the config folder from ~/ ?
[09:04] <soreau> poccha: to reset the settings
[09:04] <poccha> i just reset the whole server
[09:04] <dash9> Phew "cat /etc/issue" shows "Ubuntu 10.10 \n \l", I'm using Maverick, after all, not Natty as  System -> About Ubuntu is saying.
[09:04] <poccha> so right now there is nothing on the server
[09:05] <poccha> the thing is: how do i create a user that is able to download things and install them in his home directory
[09:05] <poccha> ?
[09:05] <Loshki> eXpLoD: yes, there is. I think you right click on the channel name and then untick 'show join/part messages'. Something like that. Sorry, this is from memory...
[09:06] <CryptoSec> I there, I have a question... which I posted couple of times before in this channel but nobody has helped me... are there any Ubuntu Dev. groups here that can give me a hand
[09:06] <CryptoSec> ?
[09:07] <eXpLoD> thank you Loshki
[09:08] <fedor> nmmmm
[09:08] <frybye> how to get rid of join/leave channel messages in konversation???
[09:08] <CryptoSec> I accidentally deleted the PPA package from my software sources... now i can't download, remove, and install ubuntu software, including pidgin.... does anyone know how it can be fixed?

[09:22] <mythid> from the live cd
[09:22] <krayon> Hi all.
[09:22] <txomon> soreau: the grub is not wrong here
[09:22] <vinny> Hi, where do I can find original ubuntu 10.04 source.list?
[09:22] <soreau> txomon: What's the problem then?
[09:22] <txomon> the X server
[09:23] <soreau> txomon: What kind of graphics card is it?
[09:23] <krayon> Quick question regarding ubuntu's alternatives stuff: I'm using claws-mail and I want to launch gvim as an external editor but it doesn't work.  I'm assuming it's because gvim seems to run vim.gtk -g which seems to run vim FIRST, then turns it into a gtk app or something.  Can someone tell me how I can do this or do I have to build gvim myself?
[09:23] <poccha> what exactly is the rist when starting a teamspeak server as root ?
[09:23] <txomon> soreau: nothing special
[09:23] <Und3rf4c3> French Chan?
[09:23] <txomon> soreau: the main problem is between the X server and Gnome
[09:24] <soreau> txomon: gdm?
[09:24] <txomon> yep
[09:24] <soreau> txomon: If you know what is wrong, why dont you fix it?
[09:24] <eXpLoD> when i press ctrl+atl+f1 the text looks stretchy and goofy,last time i used it it looked fine?what could be the problem?
[09:24] <soreau> ! fr | Und3rf4c3
[09:25] <txomon> soreau: thats the point, that I dont know how to reset the X server nor the Gdm
[09:25] <A_J> whats the partion ubuntu installs on ? swap ?
[09:25] <poccha> please anyone: i have a teamspeakserver which works perfectly fine with the root user but when trying to start it with another user it doesnt work any more ...
[09:25] <soreau> txomon: Can you pastebin your X log file?
[09:25] <poccha> is it a problem to start it as root ?
[09:26] <txomon> soreau: I am trying.,.. but I dont have any internet access but iw... do you know how to connect by terminal to an access point?
[09:26] <krayon> poccha: If it was working as a user, and you have launched it as root, and now it doesn't, it's probably a file permission thing.
[09:26] <soreau> poccha: You should never run anything as root unless you absolutely have to. It could have messed up any permissions or settings file
[09:26] <poccha> krayton. it never worked as a user
[09:27] <rsh> let all be bored there came rsh
[09:27] <mythid> how can root user screw your os up?
[09:27] <poccha> i used the root to create the directorys, download the files etc and then switches to the ts user to start it
[09:27] <A_J> whats the partion ubuntu installs on ? swap ?
[09:28] <A_J> any1 ?
[09:28] <shcherbak> A_J: No, standard, can be logical
[09:30] <iflema> poccha does the minimal_startscript not run as user? do you have an upstart job? sudo create /opt/TS3, copy files, chmod user /opt/TS3
[09:30] <Kranix> I uninstalled OpenOffice via the software center, but it still opens when I click the menu shortcut...
[09:30] <eXpLoD> can somebody tell me what type of archive provides the best compression rate?
[09:31] <poccha> iflema the minimal_startscript was working and returned all the details (password+token) but the server was nut running afterwards
[09:31] <A_J> TY shcherbak
[09:31] <classical_> what is a easy audio editor software ? i just want it for cuting unnecessary parts from mp3 file
[09:31] <Inferus> eXpLoD: just get winrar and slap it on best
[09:32] <Inferus> oh crap, wrong chan hah
[09:32] <tetsuo--> hello, what is the keyboard shortcut for switching displays?  i have my laptop hooked up to a standalone monitor as the primary screen, but as is often the case it doesnt display an image anymore, so i need to switch back to the internal laptop lcd
[09:32] <iflema> poccha: just unpack and go again, create /opt/TS3, copy/extract files, chmod -R <username> /opt/TS3  in terminal
[09:32] <Inferus> eXpLoD: afaik, tar.gz =]
[09:32] <shcherbak> classical_: mencoder, but most powerfull is Audiacity
[09:33] <classical_> shcherbak, which one is easy for using ?
[09:33] <skiwithpete> anyone know fstab?
[09:33] <skiwithpete> I can't seem to mount a drive as rw
[09:34] <skiwithpete> or as any user except root
[09:34] <iflema> poccha not chmod chown -R..
[09:34] <poccha> iflema im trying right now ... 2 min
[09:35] <shcherbak> classical_: mencoder is cli, so you need to have a look on their web site of man pages, Audiacity in complex, but fairly intuitive.
[09:36] <iiname> hello, I find it very difficult to locate the home folder in ubuntu 10.10
[09:36] <iiname> I need to see / and /home
[09:36] <iiname> what do I do?
[09:37] <iiname> have partition in a separate /home partition
[09:37] <Jordan_U> iiname: In nautilus go to "Filesystem".
[09:37] <iiname> don't know how to get there from a 10.10 CD
[09:37] <iiname> I can't get nautilus from CD
[09:38] <iiname> Jordan, I am on the CD, trial
[09:38] <Jordan_U> iiname: It should be listed in Places. It won't be called "/home" though, you'll have to look at the contents to tell which partition is which.
[09:39] <its-me-again> hi where can i find a good clean pidgin download the latest version ppa is broken and does not support ubuntu 10.10
[09:39] <iiname> thanks jordan
[09:39] <poccha> iflema the minimal_start stops at listening on 0.0.0.0:10011
[09:40] <iiname> can't get there either because of another problem, the netbook is hanging, restarting, will come back to ask if I can't see places
[09:40] <shcherbak> classical_: and ffmpeg (this on is realy easy) examples: http://blog.yimingliu.com/2008/10/07/ffmpeg-encoding-gotchas/
[09:40] <maR3> is it possible to change my user@ for Xchat and Irssi? or is it bound to my account name?
[09:40] <iiname> the 10.10 installation has some problems that 10.04 did not have on the same machine
[09:41] <iiname> 10.10 requires F1 interrupts for the boot to proceed, several times
[09:41] <classical_> I have installed audiacity
[09:41] <iiname> while restarting it says system cmos checksums bad
[09:41] <classical_> its seems pretty easy
[09:42] <classical_> thanks gays
[09:43] <J_DawG> Anyone have any idea why my toggle-windows doesnt work? It is, as far as i can see only binded to alt+tab, but doesnt work. It works on the other hand when i bind it to super+tab

[10:00] <Jordan_U> iiname: Run "sudo blkid" to list your partitions, then "sudo mount /dev/sdXY /mnt/" to mount a partition to /mnt/.
[10:00] <iiname> ubottu, i will ask questions here, but the problem is that the traffic in the main window is so much that any responses scroll up fast, tend to miss some
[10:00] <dnivra> oCean: psycho_oreos thanks!

[10:14] <iiname> cd /dev/sdb1  says not a directory
[10:14] <gobbe> well, it's because it's device
[10:14] <czardoz> you'll have to mount it first to a directory

[10:16] <eXpLoD> when i press ctrl+atl+f1 the text looks stretchy and goofy,last time i used it it looked fine?what could be the problem?
[10:16] <czardoz> any way to block the "has joined" and "has left" messeges in xchat?
[10:17] <oCean> czardoz: right-click on channel tab > settings
[10:17] <iiname> gobbe, after doing that it still says /mnt/sdb1 or /mnt/dev/sdb1 is not a directory
[10:17] <czardoz> got it
[10:17] <czardoz> thanks
[10:17] <devdrinker> helping - big problem, when i log in it just keep returning to the login screen. i was messing about with .bashrc and .bash_profile and .profile. i pointed .bash_profile to .bashrc and i deleted .profile. need to fix this, cant get past the login screen. any ideas?
[10:17] <gobbe> iiname: if you did it with that command then it's mounted to /mnt
[10:17] <gobbe> iiname: not /mnt/sdb1
[10:18] <czardoz> devdrinker, try to log in through a tty
[10:18] <devdrinker> can you explain how, please?
[10:18] <czardoz> press ctrl+alt+f1
[10:18] <czardoz> it is CLI mode
[10:18] <czardoz> to exit, press ctrl+alt+f7
[10:19] <iiname> first i mounted my home folder that was in a separate partition
[10:19] <iiname> with sudo mount /dev/sdb5
[10:19] <czardoz> iiname, make a directory in /mnt
[10:19] <DhaniJeremy> Hello!
[10:19] <czardoz> say something
[10:19] <devdrinker> czardoz, thank you, worked
[10:19] <iiname> czardoz will do that
[10:20] <czardoz> and mount it there
[10:20] <czardoz> iiname
[10:21] <DhaniJeremy> why i cannot play wmv files in ubuntu? there is an error "The stream is encrypted and decryption is not supported"
[10:21] <karex> What's the difference between gsm-utils and gammu?
[10:21] <czardoz> DhaniJeremy, one way to get past that error is to use VLC
[10:23] <txomon> does anyone know how to mount a USB by terminal?
[10:23] <txomon> I have it in
[10:23] <czardoz> usually
[10:23] <txomon> /dev/bus/usb/002/003
[10:24] <bonjoyee> txomon: a storage device?
[10:24] <Akytarus> txomon:  /dmesg to find where it is in dev
[10:24] <txomon> yes
[10:24] <czardoz> use sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /path/to/some/folder
[10:24] <txomon> bonjoyee: yes
[10:24] <bonjoyee> txomon: sudo fdisk -l
[10:24] <czardoz> it is usually sdb1
[10:24] <Akytarus> note each time you mount a usb device it increments by +1
[10:25] <bonjoyee> txomon: to know the name of it... /dev/sdX format.. then use "mount"
[10:25] <czardoz> what increments?
[10:25] <bonjoyee> Akytarus: thats not true..
[10:25] <Akytarus> depends on system
[10:25] <repgahroll> hello guys! How can i disable that graphical login screen after boot?
[10:25] <bonjoyee> Akytarus: is doesnt increment..just on the number of drives you have connected..
[10:26] <czardoz> repgahroll, edit /etc/grub/default
[10:26] <Akytarus> bonjoyee: thats what i ment if you have 2 dev's you get 2 mount points
[10:26] <txomon> done
[10:26] <czardoz> in place of "quiet splash" put "text"
[10:26] <repgahroll> czardoz, thank you.
[10:26] <czardoz> backup before editing
[10:26] <txomon> and to unmount it?
[10:27] <bonjoyee> Akytarus: ok.. no offense meant;)
[10:27] <czardoz> and update grub after editing
[10:27] <Andy-at-home> guys, ive got a persistant netbook ubuntu on my usb drive but when it boots up a menu appears to either 'try' or 'install', im assumming this option is redundant since its already installed, how can i get rid of that option from appearing?
[10:28] <repgahroll> czardoz, well. but i was talking about the login screen (that asks for username password) i think you're talking about the loading screen, right?
[10:28] <Yoko_> anybody here got experience with setting up grub?
[10:28] <Andy-at-home> when i hit 'try' it takes me into my install with all my data but the process takes about 5min
[10:28] <txomon> czardoz: to unmount it?
[10:29] <oCean> Yoko_: better ask your real question and find out. Many users in this channel
[10:29] <Akytarus> Yoko_:  depends which version
[10:29] <Yoko_> well, I've got an encrypted partition, and /boot on a separate partition. i'm trying to figure out how to install windows and recover ubuntu after that with this kind of setup
[10:29] <Akytarus> czardoz:  umount  "wherever you mounted it"
[10:30] <Yoko_> in the official instructions, it involves specifying the root directory, but of course that's encrypted
[10:30] <Yoko_> any way i can point it to /boot instead?
[10:31] <oCean> repgahroll: for that you should disable the 'gdm
[10:31] <oCean> oops
[10:32] <repgahroll> oCean, yep... that seem to be what i need...
[10:32] <oCean> repgahroll: for that you should disable the 'gdm' service from starting. There are various ways (to be found in google) I don't know which is "best" (if any)  this seems correct: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8854574&postcount=4
[10:33] <Yoko_> oh, and i'm running Grub2
[10:33] <eXpLoD> when i press ctrl+atl+f1 the text looks stretchy and goofy,last time i used it it looked fine?what could be the problem?
[10:33] <repgahroll> oCean, thank you very much! :)
[10:33] <oCean> repgahroll: most welcome.

[10:38] <Andy-at-home> maybe not
[10:38] <Andy-at-home> im confused actually
[10:38] <Gnea> Andy-at-home: probably worth looking into
[10:39] <Andy-at-home> its a live ubuntu that lets me saves my data (persistant) but netbook doesnt seem to know its not live anymore
[10:39] <Akytarus> eXpLoD: are you familiar with recompiling the kernel
[10:40] <Andy-at-home> nah wait, when i try the install option no storage devices appear
[10:40] <aeiou> what network interface in /etc/network/interfaces is the 'default'?
[10:40] <eXpLoD> not really
[10:40] <aeiou> is it just the first one you specify?
[10:40] <Gnea> Andy-at-home: so how did you install it to the usb device in the first place?
[10:41] <its-me-again> I DO NOTE LIEK PAST SITES THAT DO NTO HAVE A GOOD SET OF OPTIONS THE CURRENT PNE SUGGESTED HERE IS NOT HAVING THEM

[10:45] <its-me-again> Gnea: pastbin.ca does nto work everywear it used to
[10:45] <txomon> eXpLoD: that is not the problem, I dont use any privative driver in ubuntu
[10:45] <its-me-again> i am fussy with my infomation i liek to have option to limit posts not leave them there for everyone to access
[10:45] <troubleDeep> hi, it seems i've lost my databases and web based ledger-smb installation on upgrade to 10.04 last summer
[10:46] <its-me-again> pastbin.ca does have options but not work everyware
[10:46] <Andy-at-home> i downloaded the ubuntu netbook edition and used universal usb creator with the persistant option checked, when i boot i am presented with an option to 'try' or 'install' and when i select 'try' it takes me into the live version (which is really a persistant version) and i can see all my data. i just want to get rid of the 'try'\'install' option
[10:47] <Gnea> its-me-again: then don't use pastebin.ca, there are a bunch of other pastebin sites
[10:47] <oCean> its-me-again: there is really no need to bother this channel with availability of pastebin.ca There are *many* other pastebin sites. http://stikked.com/ has also possibility to "delete after.."
[10:47] <bonjoyee> Andy-at-home: i think removing(purging) ubiquity from it does what you want...
[10:48] <Gnea> its-me-again: officially, we recommend http://paste.ubuntu.com
[10:48] <Andy-at-home> bonjoyee, thanks that could be it
[10:49] <tado> hey all. does anyone know where banshee saves the downloaded album art? can't find it!
[10:49] <eXpLoD> how to use pastebinit?
[10:49] <bonjoyee> tado:  check ~/.cache
[10:50] <Andy-at-home> I think this is a bug btw, anywhere i should mention it?
[10:50] <oCean> eXpLoD: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com
[10:50] <bonjoyee> Andy-at-home: what the selection menu?
[10:50] <aeiou> is it OK to change the order of network connections and IPs? http://pastebin.com/3ekfsY1H
[10:51] <oCean> !bugs > Andy-at-home
[10:51] <Andy-at-home> that netbook cant detect its in persistant mode
[10:52] <Gnea> aeiou: why would you need to?
[10:52] <tado> bonjoyee: i do have a banshee folder, but the only sub-folder with stuff inside is "lastfm", and it contains plenty of sub-folders that do not seem to contain album art
[10:52] <aeiou> Gnea, ive got two ips pointed at my server and i want to swap which one is primary
[10:52] <Andy-at-home> theres an error appears after i select 'try', where is that logged?
[10:53] <Gnea> aeiou: well whatever has the default route is going to be considered primary
[10:53] <tado> bonjoyee: found it! there was a media-art folder
[10:53] <aeiou> Gnea, what is the 'default route'?
[10:53] <bonjoyee> Andy-at-home: its just a livecd anyways...if you want you could install ubuntu on the usb!
[10:53] <Gnea> aeiou: in your case, eth0
[10:53] <k_sze> Hi guys,
[10:54] <aeiou> Gnea, how do you define or how does the system determine what the 'default route' is?
[10:54] <Gnea> aeiou: it's already defined as 'gateway'
[10:54] <Andy-at-home> lol
[10:54] <Andy-at-home> im pretty sure it is installed
[10:54] <aeiou> Gnea, adding the 'gateway xx.xx.xx.xx' makes it primary?
[10:54] <bonjoyee> tado: in ~/.cache?
[10:55] <k_sze> Do you know if Ubuntu (or other distros) can readily mount Windows Mobile phones as a USB drive? I don't have a machine that I can test with (USB support in VirtualBox isn't exactly reliable either.)
[10:55] <Andy-at-home> all my programs are installiing to the live version
[10:55] <tado> bonjoyee: yes. ~/.cache/media-art
[10:55] <Gnea> aeiou: yes, and there can only be one, so it's setup right
[10:55] <Andy-at-home> because its persistant
[10:55] <bonjoyee> Andy-at-home: installing and creating a persistent liveusb are two very different things..not to mention the latter is a lot slower
[10:55] <tado> bonjoyee: now i have to find out whether it is possible to import the whole thing in gtkpod without having to match them one by one...
[10:56] <mads-> Can I somehow copy a folder from /home/me/a/b/c/d/ to /home/me/copy/a/b/c/d/ without making a,b,c,d folders in the copy folder first? I mean - can I copy a file to another folder, but keep the folder structure?
[10:56] <Martin_vW> I've got two displays connected to my ubuntu machine, and ubuntu sometimes dims one of these displays... it becomes bright when I restore a window, but it dims as soon as I minimize the windows again. Any idea on what's going on here?
[10:56] <Andy-at-home> yeah
[10:57] <Andy-at-home> where can i find the bootup error log on netbook edition?
[10:58] <uwjweq> How can I change the font color for gtk?
[11:00] <karex> mads-: I'm sure, but you can check the manual for copy, find such a "recursive"
[11:01] <its-me-again> Gnea: then y is that nolonger in the topic here
[11:03] <Gnea> its-me-again: it is in the topic, are you blind?
[11:05] <its-me-again> http://goo.gl/ixcN9 and http://paste.ubuntu.com/ are different links arnt they

[11:08] <Gnea> suicidalminds: only if you explain your problem
[11:08] <its-me-again> i am fussy with my infomation
[11:08] <ranjan> is there any library management system written in php like Koha??
[11:08] <suicidalminds> Sure, ok, I'm new to this, I have a Toshiba Satellite L305-S5906
[11:08] <Gnea> its-me-again: you are free to believe what you want to believe, even if it's wrong.
[11:08] <suicidalminds> and I can't seem to get the wifi working, so I installed the Windows Wireless Drivers
[11:08] <its-me-again> i pr3fer a pAstbin/imagebin site where i have the mentioned options.
[11:09] <its-me-again> lol what a joke
[11:09] <Gnea> its-me-again: suck it up and get over it
[11:09] <its-me-again> genewitch: there used to be a good opne.
[11:09] <suicidalminds> Then I tried those .infs, still no luck, so then I looked up Atheros Wireless LAN linux drivers
[11:09] <its-me-again> i am not going to paste things on sites where there free for everybody to use
[11:09] <bazhang> its-me-again, please stop
[11:10] <Gnea> its-me-again: then don't paste a thing.
[11:10] <its-me-again> pastbin.ca si the best but it is nto available everyware in the world
[11:10] <suicidalminds> http://news.softpedia.com/news/Free-Linux-Wireless-Driver-from-Atheros-90843.shtml says they support with the following chipsets
[11:10] <suicidalminds> I don't know which one will work with my Toshiba Satellite L305-S5906
[11:10] <suicidalminds> Can anyone help me resolve this issue?
[11:11]  * opakavic going idle for few minutes.......................
[11:11] <suicidalminds> I'm totally lost :D
[11:11] <Gnea> suicidalminds: well, with ubuntu, there is a method that tends to work that is ubuntu-based. the site you showed is not an official ubuntu site, therefore the information on there could be misleading.
[11:11] <Gnea> !wifi | suicidalminds
[11:11] <Gnea> suicidalminds: I suggest following that site ^^^ and see if you can get it to work
[11:11] <protie> Why is it I seem to sometimes lose my min/max/close buttons around my windows?
[11:12] <Gnea> suicidalminds: if you still have problems, please ask again
[11:12] <suicidalminds> this is my first night using linux, I have no idea :(
[11:12] <Gnea> suicidalminds: it's cool, everyone has issues at first
[11:12] <suicidalminds> how do I find out what kind of chipset is on my laptop's wifi card?
[11:13] <suicidalminds> I can't even find that out, if I could, I could download the right one, but everything is shown as general knowledge of which I am completely lost
[11:13] <Gnea> suicidalminds: I like to start by opening a terminal, and then typing lspci and lsusb
[11:13] <Gnea> suicidalminds: no problem, I'll help you step-by-step
[11:14] <suicidalminds> kk, I see "Network controller: Intel Corporation WiFi Link 5100
[11:15] <Gnea> awesome
[11:15] <suicidalminds> ok, I don't know what that is, but, where from there?
[11:15] <suicidalminds> :D
[11:15] <Gnea> suicidalminds: incidentally, which version of ubuntu did you install?
[11:16] <suicidalminds> Ubuntu 10.10
[11:17] <Gnea> suicidalminds: well, you're in luck, because according to the ubuntu documentation, it's been working since 9.04
[11:17] <Gnea> suicidalminds: are you familiar with pastebin?
[11:17] <Andy-at-home> thanks to whoever said that taken out ubiquity would fix it, it did
[11:17] <suicidalminds> Sorry, I am not
[11:17] <Delahunt> anyone ever able to get apt-get to use local repository ONLY?  i'm having some issues with linux mint 10 (i have install dvd and entire 9 dvds of the repo)
[11:18] <Gnea> suicidalminds: not to worry, please visit this site:  http://paste.ubuntu.com
[11:18] <gobbe> Delahunt: this is for ubuntu-support, not for mint
[11:18] <Andy-at-home> if anyone else cba making a bug report... ubiquity needs to uninstalled for persistant mode to work
[11:18] <suicidalminds> ok, i'm at that website
[11:18] <Delahunt> gobbe: i know, and i apologize, but this is the closest thing i can find (the guys on spotchat #linuxmint-help don't know what i'm doing wrong)
[11:18] <oCean> Delahunt: nope. no mint support here
[11:18] <Gnea> suicidalminds: what I'd like you to do now is to run the following command in a terminal:  ip a
[11:19] <Delahunt> can i get apt support here? or is there a better location?
[11:19] <Gnea> suicidalminds: then, copy and paste it to the site, click submit, and paste the resulting URL here
[11:19] <Gnea> !ask | Delahunt
[11:19] <oCean> Delahunt: you are on mint, no support here
[11:20] <suicidalminds> I wish I could copy and paste it to the site, but, it's on a laptop without wifi er internet
[11:20] <Gnea> Delahunt: ah yes, if you are using linux mint, you need to ask in their channel. if they don't know, wait around for someone who has a clue there.
[11:20] <suicidalminds> i can type it out, maybe in a PM?
[11:20] <Gnea> suicidalminds: oic, didn't realize that you're on another machine
[11:20] <suicidalminds> there's 1, 2, and 3, lo: eth0: and wlan0:
[11:20] <Gnea> suicidalminds: oh, there IS a wlan0?
[11:20] <protie> Using Ubuntu10.10 I seem to have lost my top bar of all my windows. Call it the drag bar maybe? Where the min/max/close buttons are. Any idea how I did this?
[11:21] <suicidalminds> well, with windows wifi drivers, i installed a broadband driver lol, but that's no good
[11:21] <suicidalminds> right, there's a wlan0
[11:21] <Gnea> suicidalminds: well, let's see.... what do you get when you type this command:  iwconfig wlan0
[11:21] <suicidalminds> : <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN qlen 1000
[11:21] <suicidalminds> let me try
[11:22] <suicidalminds> ok, I get

[11:22] <suicidalminds> IEEE 802.11abg  ESSIDE:off/any
[11:22] <suicidalminds> 4 lines
[11:22] <suicidalminds> last line being Power Management:off
[11:22] <Gnea> suicidalminds: okay, good.
[11:22] <Gnea> suicidalminds: are you using your own access point?
[11:23] <suicidalminds> I'd like to connect to an unsecured wifi router
[11:23] <oCean> protie: it's probably the titlebar. It could probably be fixed by restarting the windowmanager (just type metacity in terminal)
[11:23] <suicidalminds> it is my neighbors
[11:23] <Gnea> suicidalminds: is there one nearby that you know of?
[11:23] <suicidalminds> yes, I'm connected to it with this current desktop
[11:24] <Gnea> alright
[11:24] <protie> oCean:: I get Window manager warning: Screen 0 on display ":0.0" already has a window manager; try using the --replace option to replace the current window manager.
[11:24] <Gnea> at the top of the screen should be a panel from left to right - near the right of the middle should be a wifi icon, is it there?
[11:25] <suicidalminds> it has a red ! and all the options are grayed out, except for VPN Connections
[11:25] <oCean> protie: that is because metacity process still running. try the metacity --replace command in terminal
[11:25] <protie> oCean::  ok
[11:25] <Gnea> suicidalminds: alright, if you right-click on it, it should bring up a different menu with 3 check-marks next to 3 different options... is that the case?
[11:26] <suicidalminds> yes, Enable Networking is checked and so is enable notifications
[11:26] <suicidalminds> enable wireless and connection information is grayed out
[11:26] <suicidalminds> edit conenctions sand about are not checked
[11:26] <Gnea> ^.o
[11:26] <Gnea> okay
[11:27] <Gnea> suicidalminds: is wireless the only connection to the internet that you have?
[11:27] <suicidalminds> correct
[11:27] <suicidalminds> i can download and burn onto a dvd, but my dvds are getting low lol
[11:28] <Gnea> suicidalminds: don't suppose you have some ethernet cable and a switch laying around that you could connect the two laptops together using internet connection sharing on the system you're on now...
[11:28] <suicidalminds> i have ethernet cable and a router, i don't know if that's helpful ?
[11:28] <suicidalminds> ethernet cables*
[11:29] <Gnea> suicidalminds: does the router have a switch builtin?
[11:29] <suicidalminds> no, i don't think so
[11:29] <Gnea> so it only has 1 or 2 ethernet connections?
[11:30] <protie> oCean:: Well, that worked until I tried to close the term window which froze everything on me, had to reboot. But I am ok now...
[11:30] <suicidalminds> it has a WPS button
[11:30] <protie> oCean:: can you explain what might have caused it and what the metacity is for?
[11:30] <suicidalminds> it's a wifi router with 4 or 5 connections
[11:30] <Gnea> suicidalminds: I'm referring to the places on the router where you can plug the ethernet cables into
[11:30] <Gnea> suicidalminds: aka the rj-45 connectors
[11:30] <suicidalminds> oh ok, let me check
[11:31] <Gnea> suicidalminds: one of them should be labeled WAN while the rest are the LAN or something
[11:31] <suicidalminds> it has WAN and 4 LANs
[11:31] <Gnea> good, then it has a switch builtin :)
[11:31] <Gnea> suicidalminds: are you proficient with setting up ICS in windows?
[11:32] <suicidalminds> ah, not really, but I'd love your help
[11:32] <suicidalminds> should I grab the router and cables :D?
[11:32] <Gnea> suicidalminds: the idea is to hook your toshiba up to the system you're on right now and piggy-backing the internet connection off of it
[11:33] <suicidalminds> is it difficult?   will i disconnect?
[11:33] <suicidalminds> can I have a step to step
[11:33] <suicidalminds> and come back or can you walk me through it?
[11:33] <Gnea> suicidalminds: it's going to be tricky, if the router hands out IP's to the ethernet ports
[11:33] <suicidalminds> it's an SMCWBR14S-N4
[11:33] <suicidalminds> comcast lady said it was their newest model at the time
[11:33] <suicidalminds> i have this IP on a static IP atm
[11:34] <Gnea> one moment...
[11:34] <suicidalminds> ok :D
[11:36] <Gnea> suicidalminds: okay, here is an easy test: power the router up, then plug an ethernet cable from the netbook to one of the LAN ports - don't connect your windows computer to the router yet
[11:37] <suicidalminds> ok, one moment
[11:37] <Gnea> suicidalminds: then see if the netbook acquires an IP from the router - should become obvious from that networking icon we looked at before
[11:39] <suicidalminds> ok, plugged in
[11:40] <suicidalminds> it looks connected
[11:40] <Gnea> okay, check the connection information, what ip does it have?
[11:40] <suicidalminds> it is waving, Auto eth0 connection established
[11:40] <suicidalminds> should I open a new console?
[11:41] <Gnea> you can, or just right-click on the network icon in the panel
[11:41] <suicidalminds> the IP address is 192.168.2.100
[11:42] <Gnea> alright, then the router is handing out IPs to the switch, hrm...
[11:42] <Gnea> it might be more trouble than it's worth at this point...
[11:42] <caution> Err http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/main Packages

[11:42] <caution> how do I fix my sources.list?
[11:43] <suicidalminds> hmm really, hmm
[11:43] <Gnea> suicidalminds: which wireless driver did you say you're using right now?
[11:43] <jpds> caution: Use old-releases.ubuntu.com.
[11:43] <caution> where can I find the official sources.list for intrepid?
[11:43] <jpds> caution: Or upgrade to a supported release.
[11:43] <suicidalminds> if we can figure it out, I could run xbox 360 from this ay ;)?  lol joke
[11:43] <Gnea> heh
[11:43] <suicidalminds> Wifi on the toshiba or desktop?
[11:43] <Gnea> suicidalminds: the toshiba
[11:44] <suicidalminds> here's the specs on their main site http://us.toshiba.com/computers/laptops/satellite/L300/L305-S5906
[11:44] <suicidalminds> Atheros Wireless Lan
[11:44] <suicidalminds> 802.11b/g
[11:44] <jpds> caution: I would highly recommend upgrading, if you care about security updates.
[11:44] <Gnea> suicidalminds: right, but which driver are you using right now? the ndiswrapper? or the atheros?
[11:44] <gunndawg> my toshiba satellite wifi works just perfect after installing 10.10
[11:44] <suicidalminds> here's toshibas wifi drivers on their site http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=DL&os=&category=&moid=2199092&rpn=PSLB8U&modelFilter=&selCategory=2756709&selFamily=1073768663
[11:45] <suicidalminds> i tried to install the atheros using windows wifi driver install
[11:45] <suicidalminds> i don't know what i'm using
[11:45] <repgahroll> where is the file that ubuntu is reading to start services, like inittab? there's not even event.d anymore, and sysv-rc-conf doesn't list some events...
[11:46] <Gnea> suicidalminds: lsmod | grep ndis   <-- any results from that command?
[11:46] <A_J> how can i partition a HDD, say 1tb into smaller partions ?
[11:46] <Gnea> gunndawg: if you think you can help, feel free to jump in :)
[11:46] <hateball> AJ_Z0: You can use the disk utility and/or gparted
[11:46] <suicidalminds> yes
[11:46] <suicidalminds> ndiswrapper     184207 0
[11:46] <A_J> in gpated in comes blacked out
[11:47] <Gnea> suicidalminds: okay, what happens if you type the following:  sudo ifconfig wlan0 down && sudo modprobe -r ndiswrapper
[11:47] <A_J> hateball ?
[11:47] <suicidalminds> those are seperate command lines right?
[11:48] <suicidalminds> nothing, i think i typed that sudo ifconfig wlan0 down earlier
[11:48] <suicidalminds> when i was trying to find a solution online
[11:49] <repgahroll> man... how can i change which services upstart will load??
[11:49] <Gnea> suicidalminds: yes, separate commands, but you can type them all out on one line like that
[11:49] <suicidalminds> ah i see
[11:49] <czardoz> repgahroll, just rename the script in /etc/init.d/
[11:50] <Gnea> !upstart | repgahroll should say here
[11:50] <Gnea> suicidalminds: the && means that the second command won't run unless the first command executes successfully
[11:51] <suicidalminds> so retype it all?
[11:51] <Gnea> well
[11:51] <Gnea> did you already type the whole thing out and press enter?
[11:51] <suicidalminds> seperate
[11:51] <Gnea> that's fine
[11:51] <Gnea> lsmod | grep ndis  <-- anything this time?
[11:51] <suicidalminds> kk, no results came up
[11:51] <repgahroll> czardoz, well... whre is the script for getty?
[11:52] <suicidalminds> negative
[11:52] <Gnea> suicidalminds: good. do you have the regular atheros linux driver installed somewhere?
[11:52] <czardoz> repgahroll, its probably called getty
[11:53] <suicidalminds> i tried to install it using windows driver install
[11:53] <suicidalminds> but it says the hardware isnt present
[11:53] <franzce> does anyone know how to exand the space in hdd on wubi?
[11:53] <bazhang> franzce, there's a tool for that, let me find the link
[11:54] <Gnea> suicidalminds: so forget about that
[11:54] <franzce> bazhang: thnx
[11:54] <repgahroll> czardoz, that's the problem... there's nothing there, not even written in any file...
[11:54] <suicidalminds> kk
[11:54] <DEN007> Who is the thread from Russia?
[11:54] <Gnea> suicidalminds: iwconfig wlan0   <-- any results?
[11:54] <suicidalminds> yes, 4 lines
[11:54] <Gnea> suicidalminds: okay.....
[11:54] <czardoz> repgahroll, then you must not have getty installed
[11:54] <suicidalminds> wlan0  IEE 802.11abg  ESSIDE:off/any
[11:54] <kuna> hi
[11:54] <Gnea> suicidalminds: sounds like you had 2 drivers trying to vy for the same device
[11:55] <repgahroll> czardoz, omg... but gettys is launching at boot time
[11:55] <suicidalminds> i have a broadband card driver installed atm too
[11:55] <franzce> bazhang: just pm me ok
[11:55] <repgahroll> czardoz, i'm on 10.10... maybe they changed something in this version
[11:55] <Gnea> !pm | kuna
[11:55] <franzce> bazhang: brb
[11:55] <suicidalminds> i have 3 other drivers that are installed, but says no hardware present
[11:55] <Gnea> suicidalminds: okay, if you can remove the broadband card, that would be helpful
[11:55] <suicidalminds> should i remove all, but "netathw"

[11:56] <abdel> hello
[11:56] <Gnea> kuna: stop PMing me please
[11:56] <abdel> please can anybody help me
[11:56] <suicidalminds> broadband card removed
[11:56] <Gnea> !ask } abdel
[11:56] <Gnea> !ask | abdel
[11:56] <ikonia> kuna: if you have a question ask it in the channel please.
[11:56] <abdel> how can i create pdf
[11:57] <abdel> want to save my document in pdf format
[11:57] <Gnea> suicidalminds: okay, what other drivers did you load?
[11:57] <Gnea> abdel: in openoffice?
[11:57] <bazhang> abdel, choose a document, select print choose print to pdf from the menu
[11:57] <suicidalminds> i installed all the other wifi drivers on the toshiba drivers site for this toshiba
[11:57] <abdel> no i mean i want to save it as pdf......
[11:57] <suicidalminds> net8187b, w29n51 as the other 2
[11:58] <Gnea> suicidalminds: are they linux or windows drivers?
[11:58] <bazhang> abdel, that's what it does.
[11:58] <ikonia> abdel: that will "print" it as a file
[11:58] <bazhang> abdel, have you tried yet?
[11:58] <czardoz> i think suicidalminds is trying to install windows drivers through wine
[11:58] <suicidalminds> all windows
[11:58] <czardoz> is that right?
[11:58] <abdel> I dont want to print it.........I want it in pdf format
[11:58] <Gnea> suicidalminds: okay, no problem then since you've unloaded ndiswrapper
[11:58] <suicidalminds> no, i was using Windows Wireless Drivers
[11:58] <czardoz> ok
[11:59] <Gnea> suicidalminds: now:  sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
[11:59] <abdel> but no worries thanks will surely take a look @ it
[11:59] <ikonia> abdel: are you listening, it prints it to a FILE, which is the same as saving it as a file
[11:59] <bazhang> abdel, it prints a pdf on your desktop, thus the print to pdf part here print = save
[11:59] <ndlovu> hi all... something is eating up my disk space (about 200MB per day) - is there some way to figure out what's doing it? Could logs be generating that much?
[11:59] <abdel> thanks bazhang
[11:59] <Gnea> suicidalminds: then:  sudo iwlist wlan0 scan
[11:59] <suicidalminds> operation not possible due to rF-Kill
[12:00] <czardoz> ndlovu, use baobab to figure out whats eating the memory
[12:00] <Gnea> er what?
[12:00] <suicidalminds> SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill
[12:00] <suicidalminds> that's from the sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
[12:00] <suicidalminds> should i continue with sudo iwlist wlan0 scan?
[12:00] <Gnea> suicidalminds: sure
[12:01] <abdel> I have a pc (HP) I tried installing ubuntu 10.10
[12:01] <suicidalminds> wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down
[12:01] <abdel> it worked but the system freezes
[12:01] <ndlovu> czardoz, I've used that to figure out what's really big, but can it keep track of what's changing size?
[12:01] <Gnea> suicidalminds: okay, reboot
[12:01] <suicidalminds> kk
[12:02] <Gnea> suicidalminds: and make sure the ethernet is disconnected
[12:02] <czardoz> ndlovu, it cant, but you can hace a look every now and then
[12:02] <suicidalminds> kk, it's rebooting without ethernet connection
[12:02] <czardoz> *have
[12:02] <Gnea> suicidalminds: this step is to see what the system loads as a default driver for the wireless
[12:03] <suicidalminds> ah, ok
[12:03] <Ileden> Hi! My Ubuntu system is unbearably laggy. There are no resrouce-hogging processes, dmesg doesnt say anything weird (afaik), the system has 2GB tested memory, and processor is fast enough. The lag seems to affect window rendering operations only. Compiz runs very fast. Turning compiz off doesn't help. What's wrong? Any diagnostic help is appreciated!
[12:03] <Renski> anything odd looking under top?
[12:03] <Ileden> Renski: no
[12:03] <czardoz> Ileden, any proprietary drivers?
[12:03] <ikonia> Ileden: probably your video card not configured/compatible
[12:03] <suicidalminds> ok it looks loaded
[12:04] <Ileden> czardoz: Yes, proprietary drivers.
[12:04] <suicidalminds> terminal present
[12:04] <Gnea> suicidalminds: okay, open a new terminal and:  iwconfig wlan0
[12:04] <ikonia> Ileden: if it's visual, it's going to be a video card support/intergration issue
[12:04] <Ileden> ikonia: hm? but compiz is running fast, so I'd think video driver is ok...
[12:04] <ikonia> Ileden: what card is it
[12:04] <suicidalminds> no such device
[12:04] <ikonia> Ileden: compiz is not the video card working fine
[12:04] <suicidalminds> wlan0 No such device
[12:04] <ikonia> Ileden: that is just one aspect
[12:04] <Gnea> hmm
[12:04] <Gnea> suicidalminds: what did lspci say again?
[12:04] <Ileden> ikonia: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3600 Series
[12:04] <Ileden> ERM?!
[12:05] <czardoz> Ileden, what happens if you disable the drivers?
[12:05] <suicidalminds> there's a lot, but at the last end, there's
[12:05] <czardoz> does it run normally then?
[12:05] <Ileden> um what? okey that might well point toward the problem.... it's definately not Mobility radeon...
[12:05] <suicidalminds> 03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation WiFi Link 5100
[12:05] <Gnea> suicidalminds: thank - sorry, closed my browser earlier by accident
[12:05] <suicidalminds> 03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation WiFi Link 5100
[12:05] <suicidalminds> no problem
[12:06] <suicidalminds> :D
[12:06] <Ileden> I mean, isn't mobility radeon only for laptops? This is a desktop... it's Radeon HD 3650
[12:06] <Ileden> but lspci reports Mobility Radeion 3600 series... is that wrong?
[12:07] <Ileden> I'm using the proprietary FGLRX driver.
[12:07] <Gnea> suicidalminds: do you have any firmware in /lib/firmware/ ?
[12:07] <Gnea> suicidalminds: er, there should be a lot...
[12:07] <suicidalminds> how do I go there?
[12:08] <suicidalminds> to lib?
[12:08] <Ileden> czardoz: do I disable the drivers by just removing them from the "additional drivers" list, or is disabling some other procedure?
[12:08] <suicidalminds> oh found it, one sec
[12:08] <sha> #devmo on irc.mozilla.org
[12:08] <xiaoy> i've just install kde in my ubuntu...but when i get back to gnome all the menus are changed to english, but my original language is chinese. I tried to move up chinese in the language selection window, but i can't move it and it displsys "chinese" in grey...
[12:08] <suicidalminds> yes, I have lots in firmware folder
[12:08] <ikonia> Guest11566: wrong network
[12:08] <xiaoy> how can i change back to chinese ?
[12:08] <Gnea> suicidalminds: okay, do you have a usb thumbdrive?
[12:08] <czardoz> Ileden, JUST DISABLE USING ADDITIONAL DRIVERS MENI
[12:08] <suicidalminds> about 48 folders
[12:09] <suicidalminds> i do not have usb thumbdrive folder
[12:10] <Gnea> suicidalminds: what I'm asking, is do you have a usb jumpdrive/thumbdrive/flashdrive that you can copy files from windows to your toshiba?
[12:10] <Guest11566>  /server irc.mozilla.org
[12:10] <suicidalminds> I don't, I have some DvDs though
[12:10] <suicidalminds> dvdrs
[12:10] <Gnea> suicidalminds: and you can burn from the windows and read them on the toshiba?
[12:11] <suicidalminds> Yes
[12:11] <Gnea> awesome!
[12:11] <suicidalminds> =D
[12:11] <Gnea> suicidalminds: first of all, I'd like to direct you to this site:  http://art.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1273214

[12:13] <suicidalminds2> oh nice
[12:13] <Gnea> suicidalminds2: yes :)
[12:13] <Gnea> suicidalminds2: if you read through it, it will show you a link where you can download the firmware and it tells you where it should go
[12:14] <suicidalminds2> i have no idea how to install the firmware
[12:14] <Gnea> suicidalminds2: don't worry about that part for now, the important thing is that you find the link and go there
[12:15] <ajah> i cant browse my phone trough blueman , but can send it files
[12:15] <suicidalminds2> his is the download link: http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/?n=Downloads and you can find the " iwlwifi-5000-ucode-8.24.2.12.tgz" firmware. ?
[12:15] <Gnea> suicidalminds2: correct.
[12:15] <Gnea> suicidalminds2: it's pretty easy to find, everything's labeled pretty well
[12:15] <skilz_> someone please help http://pastebin.com/KUJ21cKD
[12:16] <suicidalminds2> what is a ucode?
[12:16] <suicidalminds2> is tgz like .zip/rar?

[12:16] <obscurant1st> i justa tsrted to use screenlets and installed the flower screen let. There is an option for give water, i just wonder if it will grow day by day! i cnt handle my curiosity. sorry!
[12:16] <Gnea> suicidalminds2: firmware - piece of software that goes between the driver and the hardware that allows the two to talk to each other
[12:17] <obscurant1st> somebody pls tell me!
[12:17] <suicidalminds2> right, i've installed it on my phone and windows, but
[12:17] <suicidalminds2> this is totally foreign to me
[12:17]  * Gnea looks oddly at obscurant1st 
[12:17] <suicidalminds2> i don't understand anything
[12:17] <Gnea> suicidalminds2: it's cool - did you download the .tgz?
[12:18] <suicidalminds2> want me to burn that one file?
[12:18] <Gnea> suicidalminds2: yes please
[12:18] <suicidalminds2> i'm getting lost looking at the page lol
[12:18] <Gnea> lol
[12:18] <suicidalminds2> ok, let me download it on my other computer :)
[12:18] <Gnea> it will make sense, eventually :)
[12:18] <obscurant1st> Gnea: no, if will not grow, why bother about giving water, i know i am being silly, but still?
[12:19] <Gnea> obscurant1st: really, how is that an ubuntu support question?
[12:19] <EmpoyLayaw> hi! has anyone reported Brasero disc burner not functioning for Ubuntu 11.04?
[12:20] <obscurant1st> Gnea: oh, ok! oops, sorry, this is not #ubuntu-offtopic! sorry! this xchat was supposed to goto that channel by default!
[12:20] <Gnea> obscurant1st: no problem
[12:20] <datta> how do i edit the boot menu so that i load up windows first and the boot menu does not show up
[12:20] <suicidalminds2> ok, it is burning onto dvd, should take 1 minute or less
[12:20] <suicidalminds2> to finalize
[12:21] <skilz_> someone please help, im trying to use http://sourceforge.net/projects/smartcam/ and I get this error >> http://pastebin.com/KUJ21cKD
[12:21] <datta> can anyone tell me how i can change the configuration in the boot menu so that Windows pops up in every boot and when i restart the system and pick Ubuntu, Ubuntu pops up
[12:22] <obscurant1st> and btw i had installed KDE and now i revreted back to gnome, but still the screen just before login screen shows Kubuntu, what to do with that?
[12:22] <datta> i could not find a single tutorial to do this
[12:23] <skilz_> datta, edit your grub configurating
[12:23] <skilz_> configuration
[12:23] <suicidalminds2> ok done, i'm putting the dvd into the dvd rom
[12:23] <obscurant1st> datta: you want to make windows boot default?
[12:23] <sacarlson> datta: I might be able to think of a way so if you run ubuntu it will modify the default grub2 on boot but if it boots windows I'm not sure how to change grub2 settings but I bet there is a way
[12:24] <datta> skilz_ how do i do that?
[12:24] <suicidalminds2> ok
[12:24] <Rannger> datta: man grub-mkconfig
[12:24] <obscurant1st> datta: vim /etc/default/grub
[12:24] <datta> skilz_ this had been said in much of the only resources but no direct tutorial
[12:25] <suicidalminds2> ok, it's in Gnea
[12:25] <skilz_> do what obscurant1st said
[12:25] <datta> obscurant1st: yeah i get a editor up but what should i write?
[12:25] <obscurant1st> and if windows is the 2nd one, make the default=1
[12:25] <obscurant1st> if windows is shown 3rd in the boot menu GRUB_DEFAULT=2
[12:25] <skilz_> and to read how to use it by typing man grub-mkconfig
[12:26] <Gnea> suicidalminds2: alright, you should be able to open it on the desktop area under files
[12:26] <obscurant1st> datta: ^^ you betr do what skilz_ said if dont have any idea
[12:26] <sacarlson> datta: if you just want to change the config one time in ubuntu there is a gui app that you can use to make it easy
[12:26] <kongs> hello everybody... im not sure what to search for so im asking in here: Where can I read more about the system/script Ubuntu uses when an system event is triggered? like when loss of internet connection accur, and a notification is pushed to the screen. I would like to implement this in a script im planing to write. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
[12:27] <marcobiscaro2112> kongs: are you talking about libnotify? I think that research for it is the first step
[12:28] <Gnea> suicidalminds2: let me know when you're ready - got some terminal commands when you are
[12:28] <suicidalminds2> all ready
[12:28] <suicidalminds2> oh i extracted the folder from the tgz
[12:28] <suicidalminds2> and put it on the dvd if that was ok
[12:28] <suicidalminds2> all ready tho, looking at the folder and terminal
[12:28] <kongs> marcobiscaro2112: Yes that could be it. Im not sure but i will look for information about that. TransmissionBT has also implented this when a filedownload is complete.
[12:28] <Gnea> suicidalminds2: awesome. now we need to run a few more commands before we do anything with the files
[12:29] <Gnea> suicidalminds2: lsmod | grep iwlagn   <-- any results?
[12:29] <shcherbak> kongs: zenity, libnotify? You talk of baloon tip? For system events most comfy is hook up script to syslog.
[12:29] <suicidalminds2> no results
[12:29] <xf_> et.org
[12:29] <marcobiscaro2112> kongs: yes, it's libnotify. If you want to use a script, you will need the package libnotify-bin
[12:29] <marcobiscaro2112> !info libnotify-bin | kongs
[12:30] <kongs> shcherbak: so if i add to syslog the ballon tip would emerge?
[12:30] <Gnea> suicidalminds2: okay, any results from this:  ifconfig wlan0
[12:30] <caution> how do I use old-releases.ubuntu.com with my sources.list?
[12:30] <suicidalminds2> wlan0: error fetching interface information: Device not found
[12:30] <kongs> marcobiscaro2112: that seems to it! thanks
[12:31] <bazhang> caution, what version of ubuntu
[12:31] <caution> intreped, I think I've worked it out though
[12:31] <shcherbak> kongs: you can make script to monitor syslog and (in case of revelant line) sent request to libnotify.
[12:31] <Gnea> suicidalminds2: ok good... let's double check something before continuing... open a second terminal window and type:  tail -f /var/log/syslog
[12:31] <Ileden> czardoz: Well, that deems to have solved the issue, though Compiz seems now a bit slower.
[12:31] <marcobiscaro2112> kongs: read the manpage for notify-send to get more info
[12:31] <tyska> hi guys, my touchpad does not work with ubuntu 10.10, can anyone help me?
[12:31] <tyska> my notebook is a dell vostro 1310
[12:32] <suicidalminds2> ok
[12:32] <kongs> shcherbak | marcobiscaro2112: Thank you very much
[12:32] <suicidalminds2> it gave me a bunch of stuff
[12:32] <Gnea> suicidalminds2: when you have that done, go back to the other terminal and type:  sudo modprobe iwlagn   (see what happens in the other terminal when you type that)
[12:32] <caution> have there been any remote security holes since intrepid?
[12:32] <marcobiscaro2112> tyska: it really doesn't work? or some touchpad function doesn't work?
[12:32] <tyska> marcobiscaro2112: doesn't work
[12:33] <tyska> marcobiscaro2112: it stoped suddenly
[12:33] <suicidalminds2> ok it spit more stuff out on the 2nd terminal
[12:33] <repgahroll> how do i actually disable a tty in ubuntu... is it just by removing the conf file from etc/init/ ? thanks
[12:33] <Gnea> repgahroll: yeah
[12:33] <marcobiscaro2112> tyska: have you changed some configuration or updated some package?
[12:33] <repgahroll> Gnea, thank you
[12:34] <Gnea> suicidalminds2: what you're looking for is something that says "loaded firmware  XX.XX.XX.XX"
[12:34] <tyska> marcobiscaro2112: indeed it was working before, but now i started my ubuntu and it is dead
[12:34] <sarge1221> Just wondering but is the 10.10 upgraded advised or is it still pretty bug prone right now?
[12:34] <Gnea> suicidalminds2: or "loaded firmware version X.X.X.X"
[12:34] <EmpoyLayaw> anyone who had success opening ipod using ubuntu 11.04?
[12:34] <suicidalminds2> loaded firmware version 8.24.2.12

[12:35] <Gnea> suicidalminds2: great! hrm....
[12:35] <suicidalminds2> :D
[12:35] <tyska> marcobiscaro2112: yeah, i've rebooted many times

[12:40] <Gnea> suicidalminds2: okay, see if you can access the network manager icon in the panel again

[12:42] <suicidalminds2> ok, what am i removing?

[12:42] <suicidalminds2> enable networking and enable notifications
[12:43] <repgahroll> does the ~/.bash-profile still works ? Because there's none, but will it run if i create one?
[12:43] <Gnea> let me guess... 'enable wireless' is greyed out?
[12:43] <suicidalminds2> just so you know, there are 3 window drivers installed, but all 3 say no hardware present
[12:43] <dibblego> why might my function keys not be working?
[12:43] <Gnea> suicidalminds2: that's fine
[12:43] <suicidalminds2> right, it's greyed out
[12:43] <jrib> repgahroll: ~/.bash-profile never worked...
[12:43] <suicidalminds2> ok :)

[12:45] <repgahroll> jrib, a command

[12:47] <suicidalminds2> hooray :D

[12:47] <Gnea> suicidalminds2: not really, some other people have the same problem and there's no solution yet
[12:47] <jrib> repgahroll: you can create the .desktop file yourself in ~/.config/autostart, but I recommend you just use the gui
[12:48] <suicidalminds2> hahaha, ok :)

[12:48] <Gnea> suicidalminds2: heh, it might help depending on the chipset

[12:48] <jrib> repgahroll: I told you, the answer depended on what you want to do...
[12:48] <suicidalminds2> isnt there a chipset on the usb
[12:49] <suicidalminds2> can I use that instead of this 5100 thing
[12:49] <Gnea> suicidalminds2: there is, but look at this one, it's supposed to work but isn't - if you can make sure the $10 one will work before you buy it, would save some trouble
[12:49] <marcobiscaro2112> tyska: it appears ok, line 710 is the same that my dmesg (and here, all is ok)

[12:56] <suicidalminds2> i honestly truely ever so appreciate it
[12:57] <suicidalminds2> i never expected this, if i wasn't so poor, i'd donate

[12:59] <induz> can i setup KDE on Lucid??
[12:59] <suicidalminds2> lol, you know what's really funny
[12:59] <suicidalminds2> this laptop won't allow me to install windows on it
[13:00] <suicidalminds2> so i'm forced to learn Ubuntu :P
[13:00] <Gnea> hahaha
[13:00] <repgahroll> there's a problem... if anything go wrong while loggin in because of problems in bash_profile, the login will fail... so it's better to just link a failsafe script from there.
[13:01] <shcherbak> suicidalminds2: Forced? There is plenty of distros.
[13:01] <Gnea> suicidalminds2: I guess I'd try removing that module and trying the windows modules again
[13:01] <suicidalminds2> oh, not forced, but, ya know, learn this stuff
[13:01] <Gnea> suicidalminds2: just make sure you actually modprobe -r iwlagn
[13:01] <suicidalminds2> my friend who uses linux installed this for me :)
[13:01] <repgahroll> suicidalminds2, what's the hardware?
[13:01] <suicidalminds2> type in modprobe -r iwlagn?

[13:01] <suicidalminds2> Toshiba
[13:01] <Gnea> with sudo
[13:02] <induz> how do i know which Gnome i am using??
[13:02] <bazhang> induz, which version of ubuntu
[13:02] <suicidalminds2> can you type that all out again?  my brain is so shot
[13:02] <suicidalminds2> i've been trying to figure this out for 6 hours straight lol
[13:02] <eXpLoD> root directory is empty
[13:03] <induz> Lucid
[13:03] <repgahroll> suicidalminds2, well. it ships with windows...
[13:03] <FrankLv> I expend the disk size in vmware, how can i use the extra disk in guest linux,which is using LVM? fdisk -l is the same.thanks.
[13:03] <suicidalminds2> i can't install windows on it Lol
[13:03] <bazhang> induz, try the about gnome menu from system
[13:03] <suicidalminds2> it has some kind of boot sector error
[13:03] <repgahroll> suicidalminds2, what version?
[13:03] <suicidalminds2> i've tried XP, windows 7, vista, ect
[13:04] <knottie> I got rid of my video card, and now when ubuntu boots up, it just takes me to tty1 instead of gnome
[13:04] <knottie> how do I correct?
[13:04] <suicidalminds2> my friend installed Ubuntu and I was happy lol
[13:04] <suicidalminds2> it works :D
[13:04] <repgahroll> suicidalminds2, try deleting the partitions, erasing mbr, etc. this hardware is made to work with windows.
[13:04] <induz> 2.30.2 Gnome. Is it the latest??
[13:05] <bazhang> induz, the latest is on 10.10
[13:05] <suicidalminds2> he tried doing all of that
[13:05] <suicidalminds2> harddrive is f'ckD
[13:05] <bazhang> 2.32.0
[13:05] <Gnea> repgahroll: that's really outside of the scope of the real problem
[13:05] <bazhang> suicidalminds2, language please
[13:05] <suicidalminds2> naw, i will use Ubuntu
[13:05] <suicidalminds2> sorry
[13:05] <normalRA_ra> This stuff with sound is killing me. I have sound on both headphones and the speakers. I know i should be happy that I have sound at all, but seriously.
[13:05] <normalRA_ra> Played with alsamixer, if I mute "Front" no sound at all.
[13:06] <suicidalminds2> so I can experience myself in the world of Linux (i don't know any terminology, forgive if i say things i don't know better)
[13:06] <suicidalminds2> lol
[13:06] <knottie> I got rid of my video card, and now when ubuntu boots up, it just takes me to tty1 instead of gnome. how do I correct this?
[13:08] <induz> i am using Lucid 10.4 and gnome is 2.30.0..how can i upgrade to the latest of gnome or it is not suppoted on Lucid??
[13:08] <aiurm> I am sorry for a realy newbeginer question, but i deleted the folder /etc/exim4, is there a way to get a new basic config for it? I do not need what i deleted just fresh files
[13:08] <repgahroll> Gnea, hmmm... well... i'm just telling that if he wants to use windows, it's possible... because that hardware should even have a windows sticker. but i heavily encourage to use ubuntu though.
[13:09] <Dr_Willis> induz:  there may be PPA's of newer gnome versions
[13:09] <made2shred> whats the best IP blocker
[13:09] <suicidalminds2> all that stuff reminded me of cisco networking
[13:09] <Dr_Willis> made2shred:  what are you trying to do exactly?
[13:10] <repgahroll> that "impossible to install windows" history does't seems very true imho :)
[13:10] <made2shred> block anti p2p
[13:10] <kyosp> knottie:may be you should re-install the video card driver.
[13:10] <induz> Dr_Willis, how can i get PPA for lates Gnome on Lucid??
[13:10] <Calinou> by the way.. where's the PPA of gnome for lucid, Dr_Willis ?
[13:10] <Dr_Willis> made2shred:  most torrent clients have a plugin/feature for that.
[13:10] <knottie> I'll be more specific. I removed my video card and now I'm using video chipset that came with the mobo, and all I get a terminal.
[13:10] <Calinou> is the latest version of gnome better than the 2.30.0?
[13:10] <Gnea> repgahroll: well, if he wants windows on it, he could just ask in #windows, where it's supported :)
[13:10] <Dr_Willis> Calinou:  no idea. Id have to google for it. im not too big of a hurry to try the latest gnoime
[13:10] <made2shred> Dr_Willis: yeah but cant load lists
[13:10] <Calinou> ok
[13:11] <repgahroll> Gnea, yeah... you're right. :)
[13:11] <Dr_Willis> made2shred:  some clients make it harder then others. check your clients guides. Im using qbtorrent (i think) mainly these days
[13:12] <Dr_Willis> most full featured clients can auto-download/setup the list via plugins. or othre ways
[13:12] <made2shred> Dr_Willis: using transmission
[13:12] <suicidalminds2> i haven't been on irc for 10 years
[13:12] <Dr_Willis> made2shred:  perhapos its time to try a differnt client.
[13:12] <suicidalminds2> i remember downloading .rm anime, 35mb 25min video files
[13:12] <made2shred> Dr_Willis: what do you suggest?
[13:13] <BluesKaj> hey folks
[13:13] <Dr_Willis> made2shred:  ktorrent, qbtorrent, and now a days utorrent has a linux port even.. depends on your needs.
[13:13] <made2shred> Dr_Willis: lightweight good security
[13:14] <Dr_Willis> made2shred:  vague 'needs' :)  most can fit that catagory
[13:14] <Dr_Willis> lightweight is gotten to be such a buzzword..
[13:14] <suicidalminds2> Ok Gnea, thank you so much for your support!
[13:14] <Dr_Willis> made2shred:  try one, see if it suites you. if not try another.
[13:14] <made2shred> ok thanks
[13:14] <suicidalminds2> Take care

[13:15] <benzap> so i'm having issues with my ssh sessions now
[13:15] <Dr_Willis> Andy-at-home:  you can delete the proper file and reset the keyring.
[13:15] <benzap> i can;t connect to my server anymore
[13:15] <benzap> yet i can ping it, use samba shares
[13:15] <benzap> anything involving ssh does not work

[13:16] <made2shred> is this any good? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=530183
[13:16] <benzap> it says that the connection times out

[13:16] <Andy-at-home> what file do i delete?
[13:16] <acicula> benzap: do you get a user or password prompt when you connect?
[13:16] <benzap> no
[13:16] <Dr_Willis>  /.gnome2/keyrings i think
[13:16] <benzap> i used to be able to connect
[13:16] <benzap> i can ping it
[13:16] <benzap> but ssh just doesn't work
[13:16] <acicula> benzap: does it return immediately or does the ssh client hang for awhile
[13:17] <benzap> it hangs
[13:17] <acicula> benzap: i guess ssh isnt running for some reason
[13:17] <benzap> hmm
[13:17] <Dr_Willis> ssh -vvv remotebox   ( to enable very verbose ssh error messages)
[13:17] <benzap> that's odd
[13:17] <benzap> ok, i'll try that
[13:17] <acicula> thats a good one to try
[13:18] <gunndawg> I am back!
[13:18] <acicula> but its most likely hanging for awhile because the ssh daemon is not responding
[13:18] <gunndawg> :)

[13:18] <normalRA_ra> This is hopeless, alsa doesn't want to give me headphone sound. Then  I shall stop trying
[13:18] <benzap> there's not reason why the ssh would just stop working though?
[13:18] <benzap> i'm confused as to why it would just decide to stop working
[13:18] <acicula> benzap: config changes might
[13:18] <benzap> i restarted the server
[13:18] <benzap> hm
[13:19] <cse04> there is any tracing option while executing c++ program in ubuntu?
[13:19] <acicula> cse04: gdb, strace etc
[13:19] <benzap> the only debug message appears to be the same, connection timed out
[13:19] <Dr_Willis> made2shred:  no idea. i cant get to a browser right now
[13:20] <acicula> benzap: will have to investigate on the machine then
[13:20] <benzap> yeah, prob
[13:20] <cse04> acicula: how to apply the command ?
[13:20] <benzap> i haven't updated it though!
[13:20] <benzap> why would it just decide to stop working!
[13:20] <acicula> cse04: strace programname
[13:20] <benzap> piece of shit!
[13:20] <made2shred> Dr_Willis: ok
[13:21]  * benzap flails a trout in the air, like just doesn't care
[13:21] <bazhang> benzap, language please
[13:21] <acicula> benzap: best investigate before blaiming the program
[13:21] <alexbligh> Someone has installed a server for me running Lucid and has installed a pile of stuff I don't need on a server (e.g. X). What is the easiest way (without doing a reinstall, and over ssh) to return it to a base server config?
[13:22] <acicula> alexbligh: there is no meta-package uninstall, but if you pick main package like the xfree package it should get pretty much everything that depends on it
[13:23] <acicula> alexbligh: or look in /var for the apt history/cache and make a list of recently installed packages
[13:23] <schnuffle1> alexbligh: there no such things as a base server config, so sort out which services you need and uninstall the rest. Maybe debfoster can help you with that
[13:23] <BluesKaj> benzap, maybe the rsa key neds uodating open /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub delete the key and ssh again, it'll generate a new one for that IP
[13:24] <benzap> BluesKaj: but it isn't even telling me that the server rejected me
[13:24] <acicula> oh debfoster seems nice
[13:24] <induz> my upgraded Lucid randomly freezes and mouse,keyboard become un-responsive, why>??
[13:24] <induz>  aany clue
[13:24] <cse04> acicula: g++ strace  filename.cpp
[13:24] <A_J> I need a little help in Gpart, i wanna re size my System Parition..
[13:24] <A_J> http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/5457/screenshotoz.png
[13:24] <A_J> Please Help me
[13:24] <benzap> it just says the connection timed out
[13:24] <acicula> cse04: strace works on executables
[13:25] <A_J> any1 ?
[13:25] <benzap> hmm maybe if i purge the current ssh server and reinstall?
[13:25] <induz> I have No propeierety drive in use on this Dell 4 system
[13:25] <bazhang> A_J, unmount it?
[13:25] <induz> but it freezes lately
[13:25] <A_J> gives error
[13:25] <schnuffle1> A_J: first backup!!! your important stuff
[13:25] <induz> no error is shown
[13:25] <jetboyjetgirl> i mistakenly installed 32 bit instead of 64 :-( .... is there a big difference?
[13:25] <A_J> lol clean install
[13:25] <induz>  the screen freezes
[13:25] <jetboyjetgirl> for ubuntu 10.10 that is
[13:26] <bazhang> A_J, are you doing this from a live cd live gparted cd?
[13:26] <benzap> jetboyjetgirl: it depends on what you're doing
[13:26] <bazhang> jetboyjetgirl, how much ram
[13:26] <jetboyjetgirl> just internet, multimedia, games, irc
[13:26] <schnuffle1> A_J: You need to create a gparted live CD and boot from it, then you can resize the partition
[13:26] <cdavis> How can I cause my wireless usb to not activate in ubuntu? I only want to use it with virtualbox
[13:26] <A_J> from inside ubuntu
[13:26] <jetboyjetgirl> 4 gig ram
[13:26] <benzap> jetboyjetgirl: not really
[13:26] <acicula> jetboyjetgirl: not for normal users really, unless you have more then 4GB.
[13:26] <jetboyjetgirl> ahh ok, cool... so not even worth reinstalling then
[13:26] <benzap> if you're using blender with rendering, then yes
[13:26] <bazhang> jetboyjetgirl, you can install linux-generic-pae to see all 4gb of the ram
[13:26] <schnuffle1> A_J: You can't resize ay mounted partition
[13:27] <A_J> what should i do then ?
[13:27] <cse04> acicula: it should be write in the terminal or program starting?
[13:27] <A_J> burn a live cd  ?
[13:27] <bazhang> A_J, use a live cd or a gparted live cd
[13:27] <benzap> A_J: yes, or a live usb key
[13:27] <schnuffle1> A_J: As I told you burn a live cd/usb stick and boot from it
[13:27] <benzap> i always find that moreuseful, and it's less wasteful
[13:27] <jetboyjetgirl> is that like a system tool bazhang? i'm kinda new to linux
[13:27] <acicula> cse04: you cant use strace on source code, best read the man page on what you can do with it
[13:28] <A_J> then unmount, and re size the empty space ?
[13:28] <bazhang> jetboyjetgirl, its a kernel (pae kernel) that allows 32 bit to see more than 3.5 gb of ram
[13:28] <bazhang> jetboyjetgirl, install that package and it will pull in the rest
[13:28] <schnuffle1> A_J: When you boot the live CD, the HDD partitios are not used so you can resize them
[13:28] <A_J> okie
[13:28] <jetboyjetgirl> ok great, thanks for the help :-)
[13:29] <A_J> btw, what IRC client are u people using, Xchat ?
[13:29] <schnuffle1> A_J: Pidgin as I'm mostly using jabber
[13:29] <A_J> jabber ?
[13:29] <bazhang> A_J, that or irssi, or many others. check the package manager for a list
[13:30] <A_J> thank you :D
[13:30] <schnuffle1> A_J: Xmpp, google uses it
[13:31] <A_J> any1 can tell me why i can't display max resolution.. which is 1024*1080
[13:31] <A_J> it's not showing up in my moniters setup
[13:31] <schnuffle1> A_J: Wrong monitor specs or wrong graphic card driver
[13:32] <A_J> it working on onboard
[13:32] <bazhang> A_J, what's the video card
[13:32] <Squarism> Yo... i have a one year old dell laptop (e5410) that has the "Intel HM55 Express Chipset"... seems the support for this chipset - graphics in particular is lackiung alot in ubuntu / linux. I wonder where you ppl turn if some hardware isnt supported. I guess a popular chipset gets some opensource attention somewhere?!
[13:32] <A_J> onboard
[13:32] <bazhang> A_J, need the actual chipset
[13:32] <A_J> one sec
[13:33] <frogzilla> lut
[13:33] <A_J> Asus P5GC-MX
[13:33] <alexbligh> acicula, thanks. I was hoping I could take the package list from a normal machine and remove with purge all the rest. I guess I can do dpkg -i , diff, some perl, and feed it to aptitude purge
[13:33] <A_J> thats the board
[13:33] <bazhang> A_J, lspci in the terminal --> paste.ubuntu.com
[13:34] <cse04> acicula: in normal execution it shows segmentation fault. what it means?
[13:34] <acicula> alexbligh: de deborphan package is no use?
[13:34] <A_J> how do i open the terminal ?
[13:35] <arand> A_J: Ctrl+Alt+T if you are running 10.04 or later
[13:35] <bazhang> A_J, applications accessories terminal
[13:35] <acicula> cse04: usually means an error in your code, you should probably check your code using a debugger like gdb or just printf statements to see where it fails
[13:35] <schnuffle1> alexbligh: deborphan only purges unneeded packages, debfoster gives you questions on what to keep or not have a look at it
[13:35] <acicula> schnuffle1: alexbligh my bad, thats what i meant
[13:35] <stevenyanzhi> can anyone tell me why i can't create java project in eclipse?
[13:35] <A_J> i copy that to pastebin ?
[13:35] <robinsmidsrod> how do I avoid that ubuntu 10.04 boots with a "graphical" text mode, that is, not a pure text mode (aka vga=0 kernel mode param)
[13:35] <schnuffle1> A_J: yes
[13:36] <bazhang> A_J, yes, and give us the url
[13:36] <robinsmidsrod> it seems as it changes to a 640x480 16 color graphical emulated text mode somewhere in the init process
[13:36] <cse04> acicula: how to use gdb .please say with example.
[13:36] <A_J> http://pastebin.com/2Adq4KUH
[13:36] <robinsmidsrod> How can I just keep whatever text mode the kernel boots in?
[13:36] <bazhang> Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller A_J
[13:37] <A_J> okie
[13:37] <acicula> cse04: thats a bit beyond the scope of the channel really, try the gdb man page and/or a tutorial on gdb/debugging in general?
[13:38] <A_J> bazhang, what should i do ?
[13:38] <schnuffle1> cse04: http://www.cs.umd.edu/~srhuang/teaching/cmsc212/gdb-tutorial-handout.pdf
[13:38] <bazhang> A_J, whats the current resolution you get?
[13:38] <A_J> 1024X768
[13:39] <DominiCanes> anybody here has ubuntu 11 on netbook
[13:39] <bazhang> A_J, and what were you expecting? I've not gotten better than that with my own with a similar chip
[13:39] <acicula> DominiCanes: try #ubuntu+1
[13:39] <DominiCanes> ok
[13:39] <bazhang> DominiCanes, natty in #ubuntu+1 please
[13:39] <A_J> i use to get 1024*1080 on windowa
[13:39] <Kronusdark> is there a way to via SSH configure ubuntu to run in text mode only on reboot?
[13:39] <A_J> windows*
[13:40] <jrib> Kronusdark: you don't want gdm to startup?
[13:40] <slayton> hi all!
[13:40] <DominiCanes> guys is there any channel for ubuntu netbook
[13:40] <Kronusdark> no
[13:40] <Kronusdark> im using it for remote access only
[13:40] <slayton> random question, sometimes when I type cd / I mess up and type cd //, and it takes me to //  what is //?
[13:41] <bazhang> DominiCanes, no
[13:41] <Kronusdark> but i want to be able to start gdm on demand
[13:41] <jrib> Kronusdark: if you read /etc/init/gdm.conf it hints that you can add "text" to your kernel line in grub to have gdm not start
[13:41] <psycho_oreos> slayton, its the same as /
[13:41] <A_J> bazhang how do i get drivers ?
[13:41] <Clavin12> So what do I do if my ubuntu upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 is taking days to install and configure the packages it took a couple hours to download?
[13:42] <slayton> psycho_oreos, does it carry any significance? because cd /// takes you to /
[13:42] <Kronusdark> how do i edit grub? it used to be a menu.lst but im not sure anymore
[13:42] <psycho_oreos> slayton, none that I'm aware of
[13:42] <Kronusdark> it looks like the config is automatic
[13:42] <psycho_oreos> !grub2| Kronusdark
[13:42] <acicula> Clavin12: using some kind of ancient esoteirc hardware or recent stuff?
[13:42] <jrib> Kronusdark: edit /etc/default/grub and modify GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT, run update-grub, update the existing entries in /boot/grub/grub.cfg too
[13:43] <A_J> bazhang, do u mind if i pm ?
[13:43] <Guest68023> ciao
[13:43] <Kronusdark> ok i wasnt sure, as /etc/default/grub says not to edit
[13:43] <Kronusdark> i will try tyhat
[13:43] <Kronusdark> that
[13:43] <Clavin12> acicula, it's an older vaio, but the previous upgrades I've done have only taken a few hours.
[13:43] <induz> my Lucid freezes randomly why??
[13:44] <tzang> Hello
[13:44] <schnuffle1> induz: check dmesg fro errors
[13:44] <bazhang> A_J, keep it here, I am searching the forums please
[13:44] <A_J> ok
[13:44] <A_J> sry
[13:44] <acicula> Clavin12: older is relative, what year is it from? Normally an upgrade shouldnt run for more then a few hours. a few days would mean it hangs or is stuck
[13:44] <induz> schnuffle, can i find that error on Log file??
[13:44] <bahaa> how to get Gnome from Ubuntu 10.10 live cd using synaptic on XUbuntu?
[13:44] <jetboyjetgirl> cool I already have PAE since I'm on Ubuntu 10.10 apparently
[13:45] <acicula> Clavin12: may be the bottom of the update-manager you can click something to show the installation console to see what its currently doing/attempting
[13:45] <jetboyjetgirl> thanks again
[13:45] <bahaa> had no luck with this:https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/add-applications/C/offline.html
[13:45] <Clavin12> It's still moving.
[13:45] <Clavin12> Acicula, I've had the console open
[13:45] <acicula> Clavin12: let it run then i guess
[13:45] <schnuffle1> induz: Yes, sudo dmesg gives you some hints normally, to analyze do a sudo dmesg | less
[13:45] <Clavin12> acicula, but the time keeps getting larger and the progress bar isn't moving.
[13:45] <tzang> I am very new at ubuntu and I have a easy question. Is there a terminal command to share a folder to a group? I have a user added to a group called "cns". I made a dir using mkdir called "cnsshare"
[13:45] <bazhang> xserver-xorg-video-intel A_J  please check that is installed or not
[13:46] <acicula> Clavin12: but its definitly odd, try dmesg in a console and see if there any hardware errors reporting
[13:46] <A_J> checking
[13:46] <Clavin12> acicula, I'll try it
[13:47] <schnuffle1> tzang:  chown -R :cns <yourfolder>
[13:47] <A_J> Yea
[13:47] <tzang> thank you
[13:47] <A_J> i have that installed

[13:59] <bahaa> bazhang, why?
[13:59] <bahaa> bazhang, doesn't it have the packages?
[13:59] <bazhang> bahaa, alternate or aptoncd
[13:59] <erUSUL> bahaa: becouse the livecd does not contain packages; it contains a live system
[13:59] <A_J|Unix> bazhang,  i try with the live cd ?
[13:59] <bazhang> A_J|Unix, try what
[14:00] <bahaa> erUSUL, but it can install the packages when told to!!
[14:00] <Clavin12> acicula, if I did want to stop the upgrade safely how would I go about it?
[14:00] <bazhang> bahaa, thats the way it is, we can't change it.
[14:00] <erUSUL> bahaa: it copies the live system to the hard disk
[14:00] <woodzy> i have graphical login disabled: when i use xinit or startx, how can i tell it which desktop I want (KDE or GNOME)?
[14:00] <A_J|Unix> it won't screw with the boot partions ?

[14:05] <bazhang> you can click #channel or /join #channelname
[14:05] <A_J|Unix> ya i got that
[14:05] <Clavin12> schuffle1, I'll be sure to do that.
[14:06] <Clavin12> schnuffle1, unfortunately the system is quite slow due to the current upgrade process, and I'm having quite a time getting to the terminal
[14:06] <woodzy> A_J|Unix: there is a channel for xchat:  #xchat
[14:07] <Renski> has anyone installed and maintained a BNC before? If so, do you have any recommendations for which BNC I should try?
[14:07] <woodzy> i have graphical login disabled: when i use xinit or startx, how can i tell it which desktop I want (KDE or GNOME)?
[14:08] <schnuffle1> Renski: when I used a bnc, psybnc did a good job for me
[14:08] <juniour>  Clavin12 ps -A
[14:09] <edgy> Hi, I edited /etc/hosts.deny and added: sshd: ALL: twist /bin/echo access denied! , but when I try ssh it doesn't print that message, what's wrong, please?
[14:09] <juniour>  Clavin12 PS -A THIS WILL LIST U ALL THE PROCESS
[14:09] <Pici> juniour: Mind the caps please.
[14:09] <Fuchs> edgy: why should it print the message for the one connecting?
[14:10] <hemisphere> hi.. I need some help with Java Jar files
[14:10] <juniour> HDD
[14:10] <schnuffle1> !ask | hemisphere
[14:10] <hemisphere> I am a Java developer and I noticed my Java jar files could not be set as executable
[14:10] <Fuchs> hemisphere: you don't need to
[14:10] <edgy> Fuchs: because this is what I thought twist command would do, am I wrong?
[14:10] <Fuchs> hemisphere: java -jar  <file>  should not care whether it is executable
[14:11] <hemisphere> I am trying to do the double click to execute thing
[14:11] <JenniferB2> hi folks.. I have installed a minimum version of ubuntu server ... and I would like to now install a minimum version of the gnome desktop on it.. without all the extra crap .. any tips on how I can do this ?
[14:11] <Fuchs> edgy: first time I see that, where did you get that?
[14:11] <hemisphere> usually before the recent upgrade to Ubuntu 10.10, i could simply allow the jar file set as executable bit and I could double click and it would launch
[14:12] <ghostcube> soreau: o.o
[14:12] <Fuchs> hemisphere: for that you don't need to make it executable
[14:12] <Fuchs> hemisphere: you have to tell the file manager (or desktop environemtn) that .jar files should be opened with  `java -jar $file`
[14:12] <hemisphere> how do I do that ?
[14:12] <Fuchs> hemisphere: so you need to add a corresponding mimetype binding
[14:12] <hemisphere> what is that ?/
[14:12] <Fuchs> hemisphere: depends on the file manager / desktop environment used
[14:12] <korsakoff-> hi
[14:13] <edgy> Fuchs: man hosts_options
[14:13] <phil> hi there, is there a way to automate building of a specific downloaded kernel module every time a new kernel is installed?
[14:13] <korsakoff-> someone could help me out with dovecot?
[14:13] <korsakoff-> please
[14:13] <Fuchs> hemisphere: for nautilus: right click, properties, there should be a tab to set an application to the type
[14:13] <hemisphere> Type: Java archive (application/x-java-archive)
[14:13] <hemisphere> It is there by default
[14:13] <Fuchs> edgy: I am not sure whether that works for ssh
[14:14] <Fuchs> hemisphere: now tell the file manager to open that kind of file with  `java -jar $file`
[14:14] <hemisphere> how do I tell the file manager to do that ?
[14:14] <schnuffle1> hemisphere: http://superuser.com/questions/78989/configure-ubuntu-to-run-jar-file-by-duble-clicking-on-it
[14:14] <Fuchs> hemisphere: as I just told you
[14:15] <edgy> Fuchs: I just tried telnet to port 22 and it works but why it doesn't work with ssh?!
[14:15] <Fuchs> edgy: possible, yes
[14:15] <hemisphere> The file '/xxx/yyyyyyyyy.jar' is not marked as executable.  If this was downloaded or copied from an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run.  For more details, read about the executable bit.
[14:15] <schnuffle1> edgy: because ssh is not a text based protocol
[14:16] <hemisphere> I have done that to jar files a while ago and it has never failed to launch a jar on double click
[14:16] <hemisphere> I suspect the recent update to Ubuntu have caused it to go abit off...
[14:17] <edgy> schnuffle1: can you explain more about what text based protocol means? or show me a doc for this and how can I differentiate?
[14:17] <hemisphere> I have tried using chmod 777 on my jar file and double click jar doesn't work too
[14:18] <schnuffle1> edgy: protocolls like imap,http,pop3,telnet are pruly text based so you can emulate it with telnet, ssh is not
[14:18] <schnuffle1> edgy: purly
[14:19] <schnuffle1> edgy: text based means that all the communication is done in ascii
[14:19] <edgy> schnuffle1: ah! you mean ascii vs encrypted?
[14:19] <tzang> I got another new guy to ubuntu question. In the command "sudo chown USERNAME /folder/", that changes owner. But in the command "sudo chown :cns /folder/", what does : do? Is that what adds the group?
[14:20] <schnuffle1> edgy: yes
[14:20] <DrGrov> Good evening
[14:20] <gunndawg> good morning drgrov
[14:20] <edgy> schnuffle1: so in ssh what's the proper way to echo a message to the client when he is denied access?
[14:20] <DrGrov> I have now got the Ubuntu Studio as my Plymouth theme. Now I am wondering that how can I alter some settings within? Perhaps change theme or such?
[14:20] <schnuffle1> tzang: it changes the group not the owner
[14:20] <tzang> ok thank you again. I think I have it now
[14:20] <DrGrov> Good morning/afternoon gunndawg :)
[14:21] <gunndawg> DrGrov, still night for me, might be 6am but I havent slept yet! still writing my shell scripts!
[14:21] <phil> i'm using a patched v4l tree to get the dvb-t stick working but have to recompile it for every kernel update, is there a way to automate this?
[14:21] <hemisphere> sry connection dropped
[14:21] <schnuffle1> tzang: the normal syntax is chown <user>:<group>
[14:21] <DrGrov> And perhaps change the resolution to a tiny bit higher since it looks cluttered at 1024x768. Perhaps does 1600x1200 work on a 42" Full HD tv which I run at the native resolution 1920x1080?
[14:21] <DrGrov> gunndawg: You are a machine ;-)
[14:22] <rsh> hello everyone  how d u remove cached packages for installation??//
[14:22] <gunndawg> DrGrov, I try not to be! lol
[14:22] <izinucs> I think I just backed up my mysql database using mysqldump -u USER -pPASS --single-transaction -Q --databases foo bar .. looked like it went smoothly.. but where does it put the file(s)?  or am I missreading the command and at the end have two database names.. the secondary being the backup with path location?
[14:22] <DrGrov> gunndawg: Lol
[14:22] <Pici> rsh: sudo apt-get clean
[14:22] <DrGrov> gunndawg: You got any clues about Plymouth Manager?
[14:22] <rsh> particular file?
[14:22] <gunndawg> DrGrov I am writing my own system maint. utility, and no, no clue about that
[14:22] <hemisphere> I noticed I use the file manager properties to set my jar file permisions to 'Allow executing file as program' but whenever I tried to put a tick, it would reset and take away the tick. why is that so ?
[14:23] <schnuffle1> hemisphere: you don't have the right to change it?
[14:23] <hemisphere> I am the admin
[14:23] <pwrusr> sudo at-get clean is tha tsomething that should be run regularly or should it be used with caution or caveates
[14:23] <Fuchs> hemisphere: maybe it is on a noexec mounted drive?
[14:23] <hemisphere> I even use sudo nautilus
[14:23] <Fuchs> hemisphere: sudo nautilus is a very bad idea
[14:23] <rsh> how d u particular file? i want remove just dillo.
[14:23] <DrGrov> Is there any application to change Plymouth themes? Or do I need to run that fixplymouth script every time?
[14:23] <hemisphere> how do I know if it is a noexec mounted drive ?
[14:24] <hemisphere> it is a usb stick
[14:24] <Fuchs> hemisphere: by the list  `mount`  gives you
[14:24] <gunndawg> DrGrov what is Plymouth ?
[14:24] <schnuffle1> hemisphere: when the file doesn't belong to admin that doesn't matter, root can do everything, but admin not
[14:24] <DrGrov> gunndawg: It is the login manager thingie in Ubuntu 10.04. Not sure how to explain more throughly. It is the nice GUI thingie running upon boot.
[14:24] <civixier> could someone please point me to something on how to solve the issue when I get the error message: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.0.9.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[14:25] <gunndawg> DrGrov does 10.10 use it as well ?
[14:25] <schnuffle1> civixier: is it 64bit system?
[14:25] <Pici> DrGrov: No, thatgs GDM.  Plymouth powers the boot process and shows the Ubuntu logo and 5 dots.
[14:25] <vrubium> k
[14:25] <civixier> schnuffle1: it is :)
[14:25] <hemisphere> I enabled execution for the jar file on desktop and brought it over to the usb stick and the permissions for the jar file in the usb stick changed
[14:26] <schnuffle1> civixier: and what are you starting? some 32 bit firefox?
[14:26] <sjskanth> Hi everybody
[14:26] <hemisphere> previously it wasn't that way. I could execute jar files by double clicking on usb stick
[14:26] <acicula> civixier: means its missing a library, either you deleted it, its poorly packaged, or you are using some special apt rules to pin/remove packages
[14:26] <civixier> schnuffle1: hamachi. I dont know if it is 32 or 64-bit. could it be that it is 32-bit?
[14:26] <erUSUL> hemisphere: most external filesystems are mounted noexec this days afaik
[14:26] <Fuchs> hemisphere: again, the x bit on the .jar file does not change anything
[14:26] <Fuco> Hi. Is there an easy way to change the default window border to have the "x" button on the right not on the left?
[14:27] <sjskanth> Im new to ubuntu just installed a week ago I luv it but still need some help with graphics
[14:27] <Fuchs> Fuco: yes, via gconf-editor
[14:27] <Fuco> otherwise it's pretty solid but this I can't use ;D
[14:27] <Pici> !controls | Fuco
[14:27] <Fuco> ok thanks
[14:27] <DrGrov> Pici: Oh sorry. :(
[14:27] <civixier> acicula: yea, i tried to link to libcrypto.sp.0.9.8 without any luck.
[14:27] <DrGrov> Pici: Perhaps you can advice me on how to install new Plymouth themes and also change them?
[14:27] <acicula> civixier: fix the bad package i suppose
[14:27] <hemisphere> how do I get my usb stick to become exec instead of noexec ?
[14:27] <schnuffle1> civixier: depends on how you installed it. So check for 64 bit hamachi or install 32bit libcrypto
[14:27] <sjskanth> Help needed here badly ...anybody?
[14:27] <Pici> DrGrov: there are a few in the repos, search for 'plymouth', also check out this factoid...
[14:27] <DrGrov> Pici: The Ubuntu Studio works out well now but I kind of hoped to change it. I used in order just to check it is working without any fuss
[14:27] <Fuchs> Fuco: or, the short version:  gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/general/button_layout --type string menu:minimize,maximize,close
[14:27] <cryogenfx> ahoi sailors. when i'm trying to install maverick on my desktop, i choose language, install, and then the blinking dots, then can't find a live image, can't read from /dev/sr0 or sr1 and it halts. wai?
[14:27] <Pici> !plymoyth | DrGrov
[14:27] <schnuffle1> !ask | sjskanth
[14:27] <Pici> !plymouth | DrGrov
[14:28] <civixier> schnuffle1: where can I find what I need and how do i install that? :)
[14:28] <Fuchs> hemisphere: why do you want it to? Again: the x bit does not change anything
[14:28] <Fuchs> hemisphere: remount it without noexec, but it won't help at all regarding your problem
[14:28] <schnuffle1> civixier:  you know how to open a terminal?
[14:28] <DrGrov> Pici: Ok, that seems pretty easy. How about the resolution? Can I use the Startup Manager that is in the Ubuntu Software Center?
[14:28] <repgahroll> from terminal, i can run " xinit & "; however, when i put it on a script called from ~/.profile, it doesn't work. athough, if i remove the & from the script it works... what's wrong?
[14:28] <civixier> schnuffle1: yea :) is it in apt-get? whats it called?
[14:28] <gunndawg> where do you download plymouth themes
[14:28] <SkilZ> oops
[14:28] <Fuco> Fuchs, however, that changes the look a bit. They are now metalic and not the orange/dark as before. But I guess all I have to change is "metacity" (that'd be the name of skin?)
[14:29] <SkilZ> I accidently done grep LOTR /usr/share/calendar/calendar.history, how do I undo it?
[14:29] <schnuffle1> civixier: yes: do a sudo aptitude search libcrypto
[14:29] <Fuchs> Fuco: no, metacity is the window manager, you don't really want to change that
[14:29] <sjskanth> unable to enable intel driver,  Im using 82845g/gl card
[14:29] <Fuco> ah
[14:29] <Fuco> what then? :P
[14:29] <Fuchs> Fuco: it should not have changed the appearance
[14:29] <Clavin12> So my ubuntu upgrade has been taking days and the computer might as well be hung, although I can still move the mouse I cannot even open a terminal. What should I do?
[14:30] <gunndawg> Is there a place to download plymouth themes ?
[14:30] <Fuchs> Fuco: check  gnome-appearance-settings
[14:30] <civixier> schnuffle1: sec, I didnt have aptitude installed :)
[14:30] <schnuffle1> Clavin12:  Press Crtl+Alt+F1 to get to the console
[14:30] <diabolicalone> Question about the lamp package installed. I just reinstalled the package via Tasksel, I had been using the lamp package via tasksel that i installed long ago. However this time upon install extensions such as Curl, were not included I do understand they are different versions but why are they not included this time around, Secondly where do you got the curl extensions and the missing others
[14:30] <hemisphere> wow... I made a bash script onto the usb stick to run the jar file and it couldn't have the execution rights too
[14:30] <Fuco> Fuchs, if that's a command, it's not found
[14:31] <Pici> DrGrov: yes.
[14:31] <bazhang> gunndawg, apt-cache search plymouth turns up a few
[14:31] <hemisphere> what are the recent updates to ubuntu that causes all these changes ?
[14:31] <sjskanth> how to enable intel driver, Im using 82845g/gl card ..xlog says no device detected
[14:31] <badpenguin86> how can i reset ALL the setting of plymouth?
[14:31] <Clavin12> Yes! A console.
[14:31] <DrGrov> Pici: Great, so the resolution from there and first that line you suggested :)
[14:31] <DrGrov> Pici: This is great news, thank you :)
[14:32] <Fuchs> Fuco: it is the one you can also reach via the settings menu. Use this, then.
[14:32] <vrubium> #join ubuntu
[14:32] <gunndawg> bazhang is there a site I look at them and download them ?
[14:32] <vrubium> #join chakra
[14:33] <Fuco> Fuchs, you mean the "appearence preferences" dialog?
[14:33] <pwrusr> would gnome-look.org be a place to start ??
[14:33] <Fuchs> Fuco: yes
[14:33] <Fuco> what there
[14:33] <schnuffle1> diabolicalone: sudo aptitude install curl
[14:33] <sjskanth> how to enable intel driver, Im using 82845g/gl card?
[14:33] <Fuco> wait, nevermind
[14:33] <Fuco> tried it again, it works
[14:34] <Fuco> @_@ thanks for your time
[14:34] <bazhang> sjskanth, patience please dont repeat so often
[14:34] <DrGrov> Pici: First use the commands the kind bot posted and then first use startup manager, in that order? Correct?
[14:34] <Pici> DrGrov: Sure.
[14:34] <DrGrov> Pici: That is not too convincing though LOl
[14:34] <DrGrov> Pici: I am a bit suspicious but nah, I got time to reinstall :D :)
[14:34] <civixier> schnuffle1: ah, tried another version of hamachi, tried to install the 32bit version. thanks for leading me to that conclusion :)
[14:35] <schnuffle1> civixier: your welcome
[14:35] <diabolicalone> schnuffle actually it is php5-curl but again why the stripped down package
[14:35] <schnuffle1> diabolicalone: no idea :)?
[14:36] <schnuffle1> diabolicalone: never used taskselect as I prefer only installing what  I need
[14:36] <diabolicalone> schnuffle1: such simple extensions are not included that once were, none of which are marked as unsafe or depecriated
[14:37] <diabolicalone> schnuffle like header redirects ugh
[14:37] <Clavin12> Schnuffle1: So I got a login prompt, and I typed my username and hit enter expecting a password prompt, but I haven't got one.
[14:37] <xiaoyuan> yourenma
[14:37] <DrGrov> Pici: Thanks for your kind help :)
[14:37] <remink> How can I use the basename here plz : convert $img -resize 721x721 -quality 100 /home/titi/document/`basename $img ppm`jpg

[14:55] <orogor> hi here
[14:55] <ActionParsnip> gunndawg: the logi
[14:55] <A__J> damn am i dc;ed
[14:55] <juniour> sjskanth wt the exectly prob u r facing
[14:56] <Clavin12> schnuffle1, I don't think I'm going to be able to set that up right now
[14:56] <Pici> !u | juniour
[14:56] <Clavin12> schnuffle1, ssh that is
[14:56] <schnuffle1> Clavin12: still no passwd prompt?
[14:56] <Clavin12> schnuffle1, nope
[14:56] <ActionParsnip> Login theme you have is probably for an older gdm. You can only currently o
[14:56] <sjskanth> junior: works well with VESA but no 3d accel...so trying to enable intel driver
[14:56] <A__J> how is gftp ?
[14:57] <Clavin12> schnuffle1, btw the computer is free from any documents I might want preserved.
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> Only set wallpaper and login box colour
[14:57] <remink> schnuffle1, with that : convert $img -resize 721x721 -quality 100 $folder_converted'basename $img ppm'.jpg
[14:57] <Fuco> Is there a way to add a panel object to a panel other then "Add to panel" option when rightclicking? I have downloaded mintmenu, I can start it via shell (using mintmenu), but it's not in the "Add to panel" menu. :(
[14:57] <gunndawg> I dont know how to download these themes off this site you sent me, lol
[14:57] <Clavin12> schnuffle1, so I can do possibly destructive things.
[14:57] <remink> schnuffle1, I've all my jpg but there are as : basename $img ppm-0.jpg basename $img ppm-1.jpg basename $img ppm-2.jpg
[14:57] <A__J> is it better than filezilla ?
[14:57] <schnuffle1> Clavin12: Strange, do Strg+Alt+F2 and try again to login, don't use root as login as it doesn't have a password set
[14:57] <gunndawg> nevermind
[14:57] <remink> schnuffle1, Better but not perfect :)
[14:58] <juniour> sjskanth k
[14:58] <A__J> any1 ?
[14:58] <Clavin12> schnuffle, strg?
[14:58] <Pici> A__J: Why don't you try them yourself and see?
[14:58] <ikonia> gunndawg: you've used linux for several years and you can't download a file ?
[14:58] <juniour> in list you cant see any driver
[14:58] <schnuffle1> remink: it was just an example for you to sort out your errors
[14:58] <schnuffle1> Clavin12: Ctrl
[14:58] <remink> schnuffle1, I haven't used your code
[14:58] <Clavin12> schnuffle, ah.
[14:58] <juniour> sjskanth in hardware driver you cant see ant thing
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> gunndawg: search for: change lucid login theme. You want the maketecheasier link
[14:58] <schnuffle1> Clavin12: On german keyborad it's called Strg :)
[14:59] <Clavin12> schnuffle, I see
[14:59] <juniour> sjskanth wt the message you r getting there
[14:59] <bcurtiswx_> is there a firefox 4 PPA thats NOT the mozilla daily PPA /
[14:59] <sjskanth> junior:http://paste.ubuntu.com/559544/ pls see the error i get in xlog during boot
[14:59] <gunndawg> ActionParsnip, I downloaded a them but its a .exe file
[14:59] <Clavin12> schnuffle, surprisingly responsive, but still no password prompt
[14:59] <Clavin12> schnuffle1, surprisingly responsive, but still no password prompt
[14:59] <oCean> bcurtiswx_: silverwave @ LP
[14:59] <oCean> bcurtiswx_: is monthly
[14:59] <ikonia> gunndawg: the themes are not .exe files
[15:00] <gunndawg> ikonia ok
[15:00] <ActionParsnip> gunndawg: once you set it there is one final command to run or it will always bother you
[15:00] <Clavin12> schnuffle1, and there is no delay when typing
[15:00] <schnuffle1> Clavin12: Your system seems really broken then
[15:00] <A_J> Does Filezilla Support Pausing of Transfers ?
[15:00] <bazhang> A_J, check their homepage?
[15:00] <Clavin12> schnuffle1, well the update is still going behind the scenes
[15:00] <Clavin12> schnuffle1, I thinl
[15:00] <schnuffle1> Clavin12: Okay hit Ctrl+Alt+F7 to get back to your graphic session
[15:00] <oCean> gunndawg: on these links from gnome-look.org are installation instructions AND a download button.. (for example http://goo.gl/zqfai)
[15:01] <gunndawg> ActionParsnip ok I have the .7z file of it, but no clue what to do with it
[15:01] <juniour> Calvin12 wt the prob you are having
[15:01] <ikonia> gunndawg: show me the URL you got that file from
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> gunndawg: sounds like a windows file. You sure its for ubuntu?
[15:01] <A_J> well ?
[15:01] <Pici> A_J: Well what?
[15:01] <gunndawg> http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Crunchy+Branch+-+Plymouth+%26+Usplash?content=102489
[15:02] <schnuffle1> juniour: he has a update running that blocks his pc
[15:02] <bazhang> A_J, check their homepage?
[15:02] <juniour> sjskanth how you get that error
[15:02] <bcurtiswx_> oCean, thx
[15:02] <jdeslaur_> a_j: you could try installing it and testing it
[15:02] <ikonia> gunndawg: that is a usplash file
[15:02] <gunndawg> :(
[15:02] <gunndawg> well im tryin to get thise theme, lol
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> gunndawg: install p7zip-full and p7zip-rar and you can extract it
[15:02] <juniour> wt?
[15:02] <sjskanth> iunior: it just boots into text mode and when i see the log i find this
[15:03] <oCean> ikonia: gunndawg and plymouth too
[15:03] <gunndawg> ActionParsnip, I need both of those or just one of those, I just want a new log in theme :(
[15:03] <sjskanth> Junior: If I enble VESA driver it boots inot GUI
[15:03] <ikonia> gunndawg: it also downloads a deb file - not  a 7z file
[15:03] <juniour> sjskant k
[15:03] <juniour> k
[15:03] <juniour> then wt?
[15:03] <ikonia> gunndawg: I suggest you actually read the text on the web page your using
[15:03] <bazhang> gunndawg, I told you there are some in the package manager some 45 minutes ago, did you investigate?
[15:03] <juniour> schnuffle1 i dident get the prob
[15:03] <juniour> ?
[15:03] <oCean> juniour: can you use complete words please?
[15:03] <juniour> tell me again in brief
[15:04] <gunndawg> bazhang, send it again please, I was occupied
[15:04] <martian> Is there a way to limit the amount of memory a specific user may use in total?
[15:04] <schnuffle1> juniour: you asked Clavin12 for his problem, I gave you the answer
[15:04] <sjskanth> But no video acceleration with VESA driver so cannot run any full screen videos
[15:04] <juniour> oCean k
[15:04] <bazhang> gunndawg, check the package manager , using plymouth as a search term.
[15:05] <bubuzzz> for vim fans: http://inspiration.sweyla.com/code/
[15:05] <gunndawg> Thank you bazhang, and sorry for being a pest, just new and learning :(
[15:05] <bazhang> bubuzzz, offtopic here please dont
[15:05] <Clavin12> schnuffle1, ok so now I have nothing, just a black screen
[15:05] <A_J> ok bazhang  will do
[15:05] <A_J> i got my live cd
[15:05] <A_J> brb is a bit
[15:05] <FloodBot3> A_J: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:05] <ActionParsnip> Gu
[15:05] <Clavin12> schnuffle1, and now a mouse
[15:05] <ActionParsnip> Gun
[15:05] <Pici> gunndawg: The login theme is not powered by plymouth.  Plymouth only controls the boot up screen. The login screen itself is controlled by GDM.
[15:06] <bazhang> ActionParsnip, keyboard troubles? :)
[15:06] <juniour> clavin12 while updating your pc blocks
[15:06] <ActionParsnip> gunndawg: http://maketecheasier.com/change-login-and-boot-screen-in-ubuntu-lucid/2010/05/13
[15:06] <gunndawg> Pici, so are there login screen themes ?
[15:06] <Clavin12> schnuffle1, and now the graphical display
[15:06] <Clavin12> schnuffle1, ok I'm back
[15:06] <ikonia> gunndawg: in ubuntu 10.X the gdm theme is locked
[15:06] <ikonia> gunndawg: it's more realistic at your level to accept the gdm theme
[15:06] <schnuffle1> Clavin12: if you can't login on the console, I have no idea how to get your system back working, sorry
[15:07] <ActionParsnip> bazhang: LG GT540 is rubbish at irc on a coach
[15:07] <bazhang> ActionParsnip, :)
[15:07] <sjskanth> Junior: did u see the xlog error (EE) no device detected
[15:07] <gunndawg> Ikoia why do you say that? I am just trying to customize and personalize my ubuntu apperance
[15:07] <microm> how do I specifically get cairo-1.10.2 with apt-get?
[15:08] <ikonia> gunndawg: I said that because it's the truth, the theme is locked, and with the ability you're showing, it is more realisitc to accept the gdm theme
[15:08] <juniour> ya
[15:08] <ActionParsnip> gunndawg: i told you how to get that link earlier but looks like i had to get it for you eh
[15:08] <schnuffle1> gunndawg: he fears that you end up with a totally corrutped system
[15:08] <ikonia> schnuffle1: no I don't, please don't speak for me
[15:08] <gunndawg> well fair enough
[15:09] <Clavin12> schnuffle1, what does it mean when an individual window dims?
[15:09] <schnuffle1> ikonia: sorry
[15:09] <gunndawg> I just figured I could customize my login screen and such with no trouble, wasnt trying to act like a ubuntu elitist
[15:09] <obscurant1st> and btw i had installed KDE and now i revreted back to gnome, but still the screen just before login screen shows Kubuntu, what to do with that?
[15:09] <gunndawg> just trying to customize some apperances
[15:09] <bazhang> gunndawg, pardon?
[15:09] <juniour> sjskant i am not getting the exact problem you are facing
[15:09] <royale1223> what do you think about installing gnome 3 in 10.10? what are the risks?
[15:09] <Pici> gunndawg: Unfortunately its not trivial to customize the gdm theme at this point.
[15:09] <martian> microm: check out man apt-get in the 'install' section a page or two down
[15:10] <gunndawg> bazhang, what ?
[15:10] <ActionParsnip> bazhang: you can tell when I'm on it cos i do a word every 2 seconds or so. Frustration galore
[15:10] <Da|Mummy> over the last few weeks, ive installed ubuntu about 5 times, and another windows once, now the only OS that i have installed is ubuntu, but when im still booting up the pc, i see the options to choose from 3 ubuntus and one windows, how do i get rid of all the OS i cant user anymore from bootmenu?
[15:10] <schnuffle1> obscurant1st: replace kdm with gdm
[15:10] <gunndawg> bazhang, I am simply asking how to customize a few apperances on my system, figured I would ask here, what is the trouble ?
[15:10] <bazhang> gunndawg, the elitist comment
[15:10] <sjskanth> Junior: when i try to enable the intel driver system boots only into text mode because of the error seen in http://paste.ubuntu.com/559544/
[15:11] <ActionParsnip> gunndawg: the link i gave gives some customization
[15:11] <martian> Da|Mummy: this may be of help to you: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Maverick#Use_Startup_Manager_to_change_Grub_settings
[15:11] <DhaniJeremy> hi
[15:11] <Da|Mummy> thx
[15:11] <obscurant1st> schnuffle: i did that!
[15:11] <gunndawg> ActionParsnip, thank you
[15:11] <royale1223> Da|Mummy: run this and pastebin yhe output.. http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/
[15:12] <obscurant1st> dpkg-reconfigure gm and selecting gdm will do that right?
[15:12] <obscurant1st> i hv done that already
[15:12] <martian> Is there a way to limit the amount of memory a specific user may use in total?
[15:12] <goltoof> any other default disc burning utilities that come installed by default?
[15:12] <juniour> sjskanth i see the ee device not detected
[15:13] <goltoof> besides brasero?
[15:13] <martian> goltoof: Seems only logical to install only one by default, no?
[15:13] <goltoof> can't install any right now, nad brasero craps out
[15:13] <sjskanth> Junior: what could be the reason
[15:13] <ActionParsnip> gunndawg: its on the screen for mere seconds. I wouldnt sweat it too much unless you are really bored
[15:13] <royale1223> what do you think about installing gnome 3 in 10.10? what are the risks?
[15:13] <goltoof> martian:  indeed.. just wondering if something else would do the trick
[15:13] <juniour> sjskanth i dont know the reason
[15:14] <juniour> sjskant you are in text mode now
[15:14] <sjskanth> No in GUI using VESA driver
[15:14] <juniour> k
[15:14] <juniour> try
[15:14] <ActionParsnip> goltoof: not by default. You could install gnomebaker or xfburn
[15:14] <juniour> sudo apt-get update
[15:15] <juniour> and sudo apt-get upgrade
[15:15] <gunndawg> ActionParsnip was that address: http://marketcheasier.com/change-login-boot-screen-in-ubuntu-lucid/2010/05/13
[15:15] <juniour>  http://paste.ubuntu.com/559544/
[15:15] <Sharpclaw> Hiya all! Say, is there a way to get Ubuntu's iso without having to wait 3 hours?
[15:15] <Da|Mummy> royale1223, http://pastebin.com/bdYDky7R
[15:15] <izinucs> goltoof: k3b work very well too
[15:15] <juniour> sjskant try the above command in terminal
[15:15] <goltoof> ActionParsnip:  i like k3b.. can't install anything right now, admin directory is locked, and don't want to reboot
[15:15] <sjskanth> Junior: done that totally updated
[15:15] <ActionParsnip> Gunnhttp://maketecheasier.com/change-login-and-boot-screen-in-ubuntu-lucid/2010/05/13
[15:15] <Clavin12> schnuffle1, well this is interesting.
[15:15] <joeoshawa> sharpclaw faster connection?
[15:16] <juniour> Sharpclaw if valibe take it from friend
[15:16] <schnuffle1> obscurant1st: sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so
[15:16] <Clavin12> schnuffle1, I forced it to power down, thinking it would destroy it, but it booted fine.
[15:16] <juniour> Sharpclaw you have to download it
[15:16] <goltoof> how would i go about finding and killing whatever is locking admin dir?  i asked this before to no avail
[15:16] <ActionParsnip> goltoof: with all those Qt deps? May as well use Kubuntu
[15:16] <Rodensky> hello. how do i disable auto case-change in libreoffice?
[15:16] <Sharpclaw> No faster connection and I'm giving it to a friend. LOL.
[15:16] <schnuffle1> Clavin12: Perfect, lucky man
[15:17] <obscurant1st> schnuffle: it shows no alternatives
[15:17] <obscurant1st> :(
[15:17] <Clavin12> schnuffle1, yup
[15:17] <goltoof> ActionParsnip:  sorry?  think that was for someone else..
[15:17] <ActionParsnip> goltoof: try lsof and grep the output
[15:17] <joeoshawa> you could have a disk mailed to you if your in the states
[15:17] <joeoshawa> but that would take longer
[15:17] <gunndawg> Thank you ActionParnsip
[15:18] <Sharpclaw> And torrents are no faster...
[15:18] <joeoshawa> torrents are slower i find
[15:18] <Rodensky> PLZ. It's urgent... How do I disable auto case-change in libreoffice?
[15:18] <kibibyte> i have questin, i want restric acess t ssh only fr 2 users: but i doesnt work in sshd_config :
[15:18] <kibibyte> DenyUsers *@192.168.0.4
[15:18] <kibibyte> AllowUsers tester@192.168.0.4 developer@192.168.0.4
[15:18] <goltoof> ActionParsnip:  what should I grep?
[15:18] <Clavin12> schnuffle1, so how might I go about updating distros from the command line?
[15:18] <kibibyte> i cannt login as dester r developer why ?
[15:18] <royale1223> Da|Mummy: you just pasted the script
[15:18] <izinucs> I've found ubuntu torrents to be extreemly fast.. total download time typically 10-15 minutes
[15:18] <kibibyte> i cannot login as tester or developer why ?
[15:18] <benjamin2> hi
[15:18] <martian> Rodensky: this room is more focused on ubuntu as an operating system, not minor features of software it carries
[15:19] <royale1223> Da|Mummy: run it and paste output
[15:19] <schnuffle1> Clavin12: I prefer doing it on the console, do as you want
[15:19] <Sharpclaw> 10-15 minutes? Where from?!
[15:19] <schnuffle1> Clavin12:  sudo aptitude dist-upgrade
[15:19] <Clavin12> schnuffle1, thanks!
[15:19] <joeoshawa> maybe its my router or something torrents are never fast here i been trying to fix that
[15:19] <genii-around> kibibyte: Your first rule automatically excludes the next rule
[15:20] <joeoshawa> port forwarded and everything
[15:20] <kibibyte> genii-around, but deny is first and allow is second
[15:20] <Clavin12> schnuffle1, this is even more interesting. Under about ubuntu it tells me i'm using 11.04 natty narwhall
[15:20] <ActionParsnip> goltoof: k3b is a KDE app so will need tonnes of Qt packages to run as well as the packages they need and so on. This adds a tonne of extra data to your OS and for something as trivial as a CD burner
[15:20] <izinucs> Sharpclaw: by using the torrent from ubuntu.com and then transmission... whatever the default is.. but then I have a pretty speedy internet cable connection.. dl speeds of 3m+
[15:20] <kibibyte> it should deny all, then allow some
[15:20] <gunndawg> ActionParnsip, before I read this site, does this work with 10.10? so far it discusses 10.03
[15:20] <goltoof> ActionParsnip:  ah, good to know
[15:20] <gunndawg> 10.04*
[15:20] <genii-around> kibibyte: It's first match wins
[15:20] <schnuffle1> Clavin12: So you didn't upgrade to maverick but to 11.04
[15:21] <goltoof> ActionParsnip:  I'll stop recommending it to people then :p
[15:21] <Clavin12> schnuffle1, Apparently
[15:21] <Fuco> How can I add applet to the panel *other then* using Add to panel dialog (the applet is not present there...) alternatively, how can I make it appear in the Add to panel dialog?
[15:21] <ActionParsnip> goltoof: think about what lsof does, then what grep does
[15:21] <Clavin12> schnuffle1, at least the about ubuntu dialogue did
[15:22] <Da|Mummy> royale1223, my bad, here it is http://pastebin.com/wkK0f3rv
[15:22] <goltoof> ActionParsnip: think I'll google what they do instead, that often yields better results than thinking, for me at least
[15:22] <juniour> ActionParsnip lfos-> list of open files
[15:23] <ActionParsnip> goltoof: if you grep for the file or folder you are interested in you can see the locking app and/or PID
[15:23] <daeda1us> hi there... about to make the big change over to ubuntu from win7. 32bit or 64?
[15:23] <Da|Mummy> 32bit
[15:23] <Sharpclaw> GTG. Firefox is being cranky! THX.
[15:23] <daeda1us> any reasons for this :D
[15:23] <Clavin12> schnuffle1, I am now performing a partial upgrade as recommended by the update manager
[15:23] <Da|Mummy> i made the mistake of trying 64, too many things not working right
[15:23] <martian> Da|Mummy: like?
[15:23] <ActionParsnip> Juniour: exactly
[15:23] <Da|Mummy> main ones for me were wine and flash
[15:23] <Clavin12> schnuffle1, I think I can take it from here now. Thanks!
[15:23] <schnuffle1> Clavin12:  your welcome
[15:23] <daeda1us> yeah, i'll be needing wine for a few games
[15:24] <goltoof> ActionParsnip: and why are there so many?
[15:24] <Aikar> im having a weird issue installing ubuntu to my laptop. i booted from cd and got the little keyboard = man icon at bottom same as desktop, then screen goes black, and its staying black even though i hear cd spinning up and down. been black for like 15 mins
[15:24] <Aikar> any ideas?
[15:24] <Da|Mummy> it works for some stuff, bit ive had trouble with wine and 64bit
[15:24] <daeda1us> i'll stick to 32bit for the time being then
[15:24] <bazhang> Aikar, md5 the iso? burn at low speeds then do the disk integrity check?
[15:25] <bazhang> !md5 | Aikar
[15:25] <karlo94> my head-phone-microphone do not work, but the head-phones work, and speakers works to, anybody know how I can fix that, I tryed alsamixer..
[15:25] <martian> Aikar: you may want to do some research into installing linux on that laptop. Is it older? It may need some special kernel options or something in order to run linux.
[15:25] <ActionParsnip> daeda1us: what is the main use of the system? How much RAM is available? What CPU are you using?
[15:25] <Aikar> bazhang: installed with exact same disc on desktop last night
[15:25] <Aikar> worked fine
[15:25] <goltoof> ActionParsnip: so many open files, what exactly qualifies as an open file?
[15:25] <bazhang> Aikar, check the bootoptions then
[15:25] <ActionParsnip> goltoof: its an OS so a lot of files are used
[15:25] <Da|Mummy> royale1223, got anything?
[15:26] <schnuffle1> goltoof:  nearly everything is a file in unix
[15:26] <Aikar> how would i do that? it boots from cd and thats it...
[15:26] <Aikar> i dont get an option to do anthing
[15:26] <bazhang> Aikar, well then you may wish to try the alternate installer
[15:26] <daeda1us> ActionParsnip: the main use of the system is general web browsing and gaming... available ram is 4gb... cpu is an old core 2 quad q6600
[15:27] <ActionParsnip> goltoof: an open file is one being used by a thread
[15:27] <bazhang> Aikar, presumably this is the live cd you are referring to
[15:27] <Aikar> no
[15:27] <martian> Aikar: Is it an older laptop? Have you tried searching the web to see if others have had trouble installing linux on the same machine?
[15:27] <Aikar> not really, its an i5
[15:27] <g0blin> disconnect
[15:27] <Aikar> dell latitude E6410
[15:27] <goltoof> schnuffle1:  yes, but there's a difference between open and non open files... ActionParsnip:  I know what lsof and grep do, but what do i grep to determine what's locking the admin directory?
[15:27] <ActionParsnip> daeda1us: that's about 400 times faster than all my CPUs combined
[15:28] <Aikar> http://www.downloadatoz.com/driver/articles/fix-dell-latitude-e6410-black-screen-during-ubuntu-10-04-installation.html  looks relevant
[15:29] <daeda1us> ActionParsnip: hehe, what would you recommend? always nice to get a second opinion
[15:29] <royale1223> Da|Mummy: you are using 10.10 arent you?
[15:29] <obscurant1st> somebody pls tell me! i had installed KDE and now i revreted back to gnome, but still the screen just before login screen shows Kubuntu, what to do with that?
[15:29] <Da|Mummy> yes
[15:29] <martian> Aikar: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=ubuntu+dell+latitude+E6410&l=1
[15:29] <schnuffle1> goltoof:  lsof | grep /admin/dir/
[15:29] <bazhang> martian, dont do that here. Period.
[15:29] <ActionParsnip> daeda1us: if its simple web browsing and such 32bit will be fine. I'd install the PAE kernel so you can upgrade easily if you buy more RAM
[15:29] <goltoof> schnuffle1:  that's all i needed
[15:30] <microm> I need to get this version of cairo to fix a critical bug https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cairo/1.10.2-1ubuntu1
[15:30] <goltoof> schnuffle1:  thanks for a straight forward answer
[15:30] <daeda1us> ActionParsnip, 4gb the max RAM for 32bit?
[15:30] <Da|Mummy> royale1223, only one of those ubuntus on there should work right now, ive formatted the hdd since but those still show up and i want to get rid of them, and i also dont have any windows on there either
[15:30] <goltoof> schnuffle1:  but nada  :(
[15:30] <microm> I tried different apt-get install cairo=1.10.2, apt-get install cairo_1.20.2, but I must be doing something wrong
[15:31] <martian> bazhang: I see no harm and it shows people how simple it is
[15:31] <schnuffle1> goltoof: what is the admin dir? do you mean /root?
[15:31] <ActionParsnip> goltoof: if there was no difference between open and closed files, lsof wouldn't exist
[15:31] <bazhang> martian, its not acceptable. Don't do it again.
[15:31] <royale1223> Da|Mummy: which ubuntu release are you using?
[15:31] <martian> I feel it is acceptable. Period.
[15:31] <goltoof> ActionParsnip:  i appreciate you lessons, but I'm really just looking for a straight forward answer here... not... just nevermind dude
[15:31] <Da|Mummy> 10.10 maverick
[15:31] <joeoshawa> is there a way to have a torrent application randomly switch ports every so often
[15:32] <ActionParsnip> Microm: is that version available to you?
[15:32] <goltoof> schnuffle1:  the admin dir is locked, so i can't install anything
[15:32] <microm> ActionParsnip: how do I know if the version is available to me?
[15:32] <goltoof> schnuffle1:  if i find what's locking it then i can isntall stuff, right?
[15:32] <ActionParsnip> !aptfix | goltoof
[15:32] <Da|Mummy> royale1223, 10.10 maverick
[15:33] <goltoof> schnuffle1:  i figure this is a common issue, not getting why i can't get a straight forward answer here
[15:33] <fmax30> Is it jsut me or are ubuntu forums down
[15:33] <fmax30> and also i am unable to download any packages the links are dead with sudo apt-get
[15:33] <BluesKaj> joeoshawa, most torrent clients reannounce / refresh the the trackersevery 30mins or so
[15:33] <ActionParsnip> Microm: apt-cache policy packagename
[15:33] <schnuffle1> goltoof: bevause you ask the wrong question or I'm to stupid to figure out what you mean :)
[15:33] <A_J> bazhang,
[15:33] <A_J> Gpart worked
[15:33] <kartik> hi
[15:34] <A_J> i partioned my HDD, thanks for all your help <3
[15:34] <royale1223> Da|Mummy: addthese lines to the end of the file /etc/grub.d/40_custom
[15:34] <bazhang> A_J, good
[15:34] <microm> ActionParsnip: unable to locate package cairo... hummmm...
[15:34] <royale1223> Da|Mummy: http://pastebin.com/i00cWh0g
[15:34] <fmax30> Is it just me ? anyone?
[15:34] <goltoof> ActionParsnip:  now we're getting closer getting closer! :)
[15:34] <joeoshawa> the reason i am asking is because my isp throttles torrents and if i can randomly switch ports it will allow me to bypass the throttling
[15:34] <schnuffle1> !ask | fmax30
[15:34] <ActionParsnip> goltoof: i made ubottu give the fix. All you had to
[15:34] <goltoof> goltoof:  dpkg: status database area is locked by another process
[15:34] <joeoshawa> i don't care about the tracker
[15:35] <ActionParsnip> Mention was not able to install anything
[15:35] <fmax30> Is it just me or are ubuntu forums down and also apt-get is saying the links are down
[15:35] <goltoof> ActionParsnip:  which i did to begin with
[15:35] <bazhang> fmax30, cant log in? or totally down
[15:35] <dr_Willis> Many torrent client can randomize ports. And encrypt all traffic
[15:35] <eternal> ubuntu users are so stupid. we need to kill them right now. they are crap
[15:35] <fmax30> totally down
[15:35] <royale1223> Da|Mummy: to edit 40_custom run "sudo gedit /etc/grub.d/40_custom" in terminal
[15:35] <ActionParsnip> goltoof: missed it, sorry
[15:36] <bazhang> eternal, thats not appropriate here.
[15:36] <oCean> eternal: no need for that here
[15:36] <A_J> eternal, lol  ?
[15:36] <goltoof> ActionParsnip:  it's easy to miss these details when answering other peoples questions... i'm not offended by your philanthropy
[15:36] <joeoshawa> he is a troll he just joined like 10 seconds ago
[15:36] <joeoshawa> boot him and get it over with
[15:36] <Da|Mummy> royale1223, then just add everything thats in pastebin?
[15:36] <fmax30> server not found.
[15:36] <bazhang> joeoshawa, lets move on please
[15:36] <ActionParsnip> goltoof: no worries dude
[15:36] <A_J> except filezilla any1 recommend me anything else
[15:36] <goltoof> ActionParsnip: /var/lib/dpkg/lock:  root      11056 F.... dpkg    Kill process 11056 ? (y/N) y    dpkg: status database area is locked by another process
[15:36] <BluesKaj> joeoshawa, , you can set the ports for different apps on like torrent clients on your your router , by giving a port range ..best to keep them above 50K , 50100 to 50120 for example
[15:37] <ActionParsnip> goltoof: pushing for the gold
[15:37] <royale1223> Da|Mummy: yes, add to the end, dont delete the existing lines
[15:37] <Fuco> Is there any common reason for audio/video to jump back and forth while playing? Like when a phonograph skips the groove?
[15:37] <ActionParsnip> Goltoof: say yes
[15:37] <Fuco> The same thing happened on Mint, so I've tried reinstall to ubuntu
[15:37] <nijabo> Hmm is there some way to get in contact with devs about ideas?
[15:37] <Fuco> but it is still happening
[15:37] <goltoof> ActionParsnip:  yes?
[15:38] <eternal> stupid people
[15:38] <b0ot> How would I edit my menuentrys to add an external harddrive partition?
[15:38] <joeoshawa> and that will cause it to randomly change every say 3-4 minutes or whatever
[15:38] <fmax30> I now know why apt is not working, i have to update. But why are the forums down for me .
[15:38] <goltoof> ActionParsnip:  how do i check what else is using 11056 ?
[15:38] <goltoof> ActionParsnip:  pstree?
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> Nijabo: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com
[15:38] <major_> anybody knows something to autoarrange windows vertically or any other arrange?
[15:38] <schnuffle1> fmax30:  broken dns
[15:38] <nijabo> Cheers ActionParsnip :)
[15:38] <BluesKaj> joeoshawa, , why may I ask do you want to do this ?
[15:39] <Da|Mummy> royale1223, than just save file and exit?
[15:39] <goltoof> !aptfix  > goltoof
[15:39] <fmax30> scnuffle: google and everything is alright
[15:39] <joeoshawa> to bypass throttling
[15:39] <royale1223> Da|Mummy: then run sudo chmod -x 00_header        10_linux      20_memtest86+  40_custom  README
[15:39] <royale1223> Da|Mummy: ignore previous message
[15:39] <joeoshawa> i get a great connection but my isp throttles it back
[15:39] <Da|Mummy> ...?
[15:40] <joeoshawa> even tho i pay for a great connection
[15:40] <ActionParsnip> Goltoof: the number is the pid of the process locking the packages. Its also offering to kill it which you should
[15:40] <schnuffle1> fmax30: you can resolve ubuntuforums.org? like a ping ubuntuforums.org
[15:40] <gunndawg> man after following these instructions I still cant figure out how to change the login screen wallpaper
[15:40] <francesco_> hello everyone
[15:40] <major_> goltoof, if 11056 its a process --> $ lsof -p 11056
[15:40] <BluesKaj> joeoshawa, don't think just changing ports will help
[15:40] <jon_athon> anyone know a really really light IMAP client?
[15:40] <fmax30> scnuffle: nope
[15:40] <royale1223> Da|Mummy: yep
[15:40] <francesco_> #ciao
[15:40] <AbhiJit> gunndawg, easiest way - use ubuntu tweak
[15:41] <goltoof> ActionParsnip:  tried that;   dpkg: status database area is locked by another process
[15:41] <francesco_> someone can help me pls?
[15:41] <goltoof> major_:  thanks!
[15:41] <gunndawg> AbhiJit how do I get Ubuntu Tweak /
[15:41] <joeoshawa> my isp detects the torrent on a say port 5461 and starts throttling
[15:41] <ActionParsnip> Goltoof: after, run: sudo apt-get -f install   so you know all is well
[15:41] <AbhiJit> gunndawg, from their web site.
[15:41] <gunndawg> AbhiJit, thanks
[15:41] <mbeierl> joeoshawa: typically isps do not track the individual port number used when throttling.  that would be extremely sophisticated and we all know how lazy they are.  they are throttling you based on udp I'll bet, therefore changing ports won't help you
[15:41] <joeoshawa> so if when they start throttling i switch to 5679 then it gets past it
[15:41] <royale1223> Da|Mummy: now cd to /etc/grub.d
[15:42] <AbhiJit> gunndawg, http://ubuntu-tweak.com/
[15:42] <schnuffle1> fmax30: that means you can't ping ubuntuforums.org? does it show the IP(91.189.94.12)? do a tracert ubuntuforums.org
[15:42] <joeoshawa> so your answer is i dont want to help thanks great forum you got here
[15:42] <goltoof> major_  ActionParsnip:   http://paste.ubuntu.com/559559/
[15:42] <fmax30> no
[15:43] <fmax30> now that i have checked it, i cant even open ubuntu.com
[15:43] <Da|Mummy> royale1223, ok im there
[15:43] <fmax30> 0.0
[15:43] <joeoshawa> i know it works cause i know people doing it in windows
[15:43] <francesco_> #ubuntu-it-doc
[15:43] <royale1223> Da|Mummy: run "sudo chmod -x 00_header 10_linux 20_memtest86+ e 20_linux_xen 30_os-prober 41_custom"
[15:43] <francesco_> can you help me please?
[15:43] <ActionParsnip> joeoshawa: if nobody knows. Do you expect 1000+ people to say "no"
[15:43] <A_J|Unix> damn sorry
[15:43] <francesco_> lol
[15:44] <A_J|Unix> any1, answered my last question
[15:44] <francesco_> so
[15:44] <francesco_> im a noob
[15:44] <major_> goltoof, i dont really know what your problem is, i just saw you wanted to see what was blocking that process
[15:44] <goltoof> ActionParsnip:  that would be awesome though :)
[15:44] <ActionParsnip> joeoshawa: please get a new attitude
[15:44] <royale1223> Da|Mummy: then "sudo chmod +x 40_custom"
[15:44] <francesco_> and i don't know how to change the channel. how can i do it?
[15:44] <goltoof> major_:  can't install anything because admin dir is locked
[15:44] <joeoshawa> no i don't expect people to say it won't help
[15:44] <kartik> hi
[15:44] <A_J|Unix> FTP app which supports Pausing Transfers ?
[15:44] <joeoshawa> when they don't know
[15:44] <goltoof> major_:  usually i just reboot, but i know i shouldn't have to
[15:44] <royale1223> Da|Mummy: then "sudo update-grub"
[15:44] <Da|Mummy> royale1223, chmod: cannot access `e': No such file or directory
[15:44] <Da|Mummy>  <-wth?
[15:44] <royale1223> and reboot
[15:45] <A_J|Unix> any1
[15:45] <BluesKaj> joeoshawa, most IPs throttle the default torrent clien ports like 6881-6889, so using ports above 50,000 - 65535
[15:45] <ActionParsnip> Goltoof: its totally unfeasible and would make the channel not function
[15:45] <royale1223> Da|Mummy: my mistake correction run "sudo chmod -x 00_header 10_linux 20_memtest86+  20_linux_xen 30_os-prober 41_custom"
[15:45] <schnuffle1> francesco_:  /jopiin #ubuntu-it to get the italian channel for example
[15:45] <goltoof> ActionParsnip:  i know, but it'd definitely get the message across
[15:46] <schnuffle1> francesco_:  /join
[15:46] <major_> goltoof, $ lsof +d /directory/you/want/to/check
[15:46] <Da|Mummy> royale1223, done thx will test now
[15:46] <francesco_> thank you
[15:46] <A_J|Unix> bazhang, FTP App which supports Pausing Transfers
[15:46] <ActionParsnip> joeoshawa: then take silence to mean "the current users don't know" and ask later, like a mature person would
[15:46] <royale1223> Da|Mummy: you're welcome
[15:47] <fmax30> schnuffel:any idea what could be wrong ?
[15:47] <schnuffle1> goltoof: kill -9 11056, gets you rid of the process blocking
[15:47] <joeoshawa> that's not what they said
[15:47] <ActionParsnip> Peace out kids
[15:47] <schnuffle1> fmax30: can you reach your router?
[15:47] <A_J|Unix> ffs som1 help me
[15:47] <fmax30> yes
[15:47] <bazhang> A_J|Unix, what did you try? filezilla?
[15:47] <bazhang> A_J|Unix, watch the language
[15:47] <lonewolf> Hello everyone ! Is there a way through which I can know which should be running on my system and which should not ?
[15:47] <A_J|Unix> k
[15:47] <pulse00> can i get in troubles when setting getWindow().setFormat(PixelFormat.RGBX_8888), or is this possible on all android devices?
[15:48] <A_J|Unix> sorry
[15:48] <joeoshawa> i have been looking at how my isp throttles and when you start a torrent its fine but after a time it gets throttled
[15:48] <schnuffle1> fmax30: and you can resolv the IP as well with  host ubuntu.com?
[15:48] <A_J|Unix> bazhang,  ur op here ?
[15:48] <fmax30> no
[15:48] <gunndawg> Ubuntu Tweaks seems pretty cool
[15:48] <joeoshawa> i know people who once throttling starts they switch ports and all is well but thats utorrent
[15:48] <mbeierl> joeoshawa: if you are expecting me to answer, you need to direct messages to me.  I am sorry I attempted to get a better understanding of what you are doing.  I am sorry that I cannot help.  Do it in Windows instead then if it works.  Use the technology that best fits
[15:48] <porros> server irc.saurik.com
[15:48] <porros> oops
[15:48] <goltoof> schnuffle1:  oooh.. kill -9,  sure that won't screw anything up since it's obviously being used by something?
[15:48] <bazhang> A_J|Unix, did you try filezilla? please specify what you have tried instead of repeating yourself
[15:49] <A_J|Unix> filezilla on windows did not support it
[15:49] <joeoshawa> i dont' use windows i don't have windows
[15:49] <joeoshawa> i don't steal
[15:49] <A_J|Unix> installing the unix version as we speak
[15:49] <joeoshawa> i use legal methods and what i do is legal where i am
[15:49] <goltoof> schnuffle1:  sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock; sudo dpkg --configure -a   ....  tells me:   dpkg: status database area is locked by another process
[15:49] <lonewolf> can anyone help ?
[15:49] <Da|Mummy> royale1223, it gave me a 'recordfail' error for some reason, but other than that everythings a-ok
[15:49] <fmax30> no, does this mean that i have been banned ?
[15:49] <A_J|Unix> lol^
[15:50] <joeoshawa> i am not interesting in getting a pirate copy of windows
[15:50] <AbhiJit> joeoshawa, http://abhijitnavale.blogspot.com/2010/08/why-vista-is-great.html
[15:51] <oCean> joeoshawa: AbhiJit please stay on topic in this channel
[15:51] <Da|Mummy> i think i just had my epiphany of how great linux is and how crappy windows is, i just rebooted in like 20 seconds
[15:51] <AbhiJit> oCean, yes
[15:51] <schnuffle1> goltoof: it will kill the process locking, have you a updater applet in the panel
[15:51] <schnuffle1> ?
[15:51] <Fuco> Is there any common reason for audio/video to jump back and forth while playing? Like when a phonograph skips the groove. The same thing happened on Mint, so I've tried reinstall to ubuntu, but it is still happening
[15:51] <Jon--> Any word when the Eclipse package will move from Galileo to Hellios?
[15:51] <BluesKaj> mbeierl, joeoshawa is compalianing aout ISP port throttling , he thinks windows torrent clients can auto matically change ports every few minutes to prevent ISP throttling , which to me is a lot of windows bull
[15:51] <royale1223> Da|Mummy: okay
[15:51] <fmax30> How do you if you have been banned ?
[15:51] <ikonia> fmax30: you are in #ubuntu - you are talking, you have not been banned
[15:51] <ikonia> !topic | fmax30
[15:51] <BluesKaj> !who | joeoshawa
[15:52] <Jon--> Any word when the Eclipse package will move from Galileo to Hellios?
[15:52] <fmax30> ikonia:i was talking about the ubuntu website/websites
[15:52] <ikonia> fmax30: you don't get banned from a website
[15:52] <joeoshawa> someone wrote a program to have utorrent switch ports every so often so the isp couldn't keep up i am simply asking if that is possible with say ktorrent or something
[15:52] <ikonia> joeoshawa: if you can script well enough, sure
[15:52] <fmax30> then why can i access anything with the word ubuntu init
[15:53] <fmax30> *not
[15:53] <nijabo> Woho submitted my idea
[15:53] <ikonia> fmax30: talk to your ISP
[15:53] <schnuffle1> fmax30: which browser?
[15:53] <fmax30> firefox and chrome
[15:53] <KM0201> fmax30: could be a filter set up in your router also.
[15:53] <joeoshawa> thank you an intelligent and thoughtful polite person thank you for your answer its greatly appreciated
[15:54] <fmax30> it only started happening after i updated today
[15:54] <BluesKaj> joeoshawa, just set the ktorrent TCP port forwarding to above 50000 and you should be ok
[15:54] <goltoof> schnuffle1: kill -9 11056  didn't kill the process, still there and admin dir still locked
[15:55] <david234> I want to automatically encode wave files into MP3 files on my Ubuntu server. I read Ubuntu does not include mp3 because of licensing issues. How do I encode files into MP3 on my server and respect laws in Canada and the USA ?
[15:55] <KM0201> fmax30: that defies logic
[15:55] <Bipul`> whear is remote desktop option in ubuntu10.10
[15:55] <daeda1us> is there a software package for streaming media to an xbox 360?
[15:55] <joeoshawa> i appreciate that blueskaj but unfortunately my isp thought of that
[15:56] <KM0201> Bipul`: application/internet    and then to set it up is system/preferences
[15:56] <d4n1s> what is the help channel
[15:56] <ikonia> d4n1s: you're in it
[15:56] <Fuco> when I open /boot/grub/menu.lst it's empty? Is that normal?
[15:56] <KM0201> d4n1s: this one
[15:56] <nexes> david:234 Don't quote me on it, but I'm pretty sure as a user you're able to use them legally.
[15:56] <Fuco> I want to add windows drive to the list
[15:56] <schnuffle1> goltoof: did you do sudo kill -9 11056?
[15:56] <fmax30> it just started working , now that was weird, but i think it might have been a temporary problem with my isp
[15:56] <KM0201> Fuco: are you using ubuntu 9.10 or later
[15:56] <ikonia> Fuco: ubuntu 10.X uses grub2 which uses /etc/grub.conf
[15:56] <goltoof> schnuffle1:  yes
[15:57] <nexes> david234: It's not like DeCSS, where you're violating the DMCA. mp3 licensing is..strange.
[15:57] <Fuco> 10.10
[15:57] <BluesKaj> david234, install ubuntu-restricted-extras for mp3 conversion
[15:57] <Fuco> thanks
[15:57] <KM0201> !grub2 | Fuco it doesn'tr eally work like grub-legcy used to.
[15:57] <joeoshawa> throttling is like a religion to isps incanada
[15:57] <dr_Willis> !grub2
[15:57] <nexes> david234: But you'll notice that Winamp and other free media players don't pay for mp3 licensing, only commercial, paid products and hardware.
[15:57] <KM0201> Fuco: you really shouldn't edit grub.conf
[15:57] <ikonia> joeoshawa: don't need to hear about it, why are not here to help you get past your ISP's rules
[15:57] <schnuffle1> goltoof: and what gives you: sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock
[15:57] <Fuco> OK, let me see the tutorials then
[15:58] <david234> BluesKaj, nexes, the server is part of a commercial service.
[15:58] <Fuco> I've actually installed ubuntu *after* windows
[15:58] <BluesKaj> joeoshawa, I see it here around 3pm to 6pm most weekdays ..I'm on Bell Canada dsl
[15:58] <goltoof> schnuffle1:  /var/lib/dpkg/lock:  root      11056 F.... dpkg
[15:58] <KM0201> Fuco: then grub2 should have picked up windows after you installed
[15:58] <goltoof> schnuffle1:  asks to kill it, etc
[15:58] <Fuco> well it starts ubuntu automatically, so I don't even see the list
[15:58] <Fuco> there is some timeout setting
[15:58] <nexes> david234: This may be relevant to you then: http://mp3licensing.com/royalty/
[15:58] <d4n1s> I try to compile a c source code linksys gave me on my ubuntu
[15:58] <schnuffle1> goltoof: the let it kill it
[15:58] <Fuco> I gues
[15:59] <d4n1s> I get into the folder with cd folder name
[15:59] <d4n1s> and type make
[15:59] <goltoof> schnuffle1:  the etc meaning... yes to kill it, can't database unlocked, etc..
[15:59] <d4n1s> but I get many errors
[15:59] <nexes> david234: If you're not specifically tethered to mp3 for some reason and just need an audio codec, I would also suggest ogg, naturally. :)
[15:59] <KM0201> Fuco: if you aren't seeing a grub menu, then it didn't pick up Windows... it skips by default if ubuntu is the only OS
[15:59] <fmax30> how do you get back to graphics mode after you press ctrl+alt+f9 ttymode or something
[15:59] <Fuco> yea, so I have to add it somehow
[15:59] <schnuffle1> fmax30: Ctrl-Alt+F7
[15:59] <oCean> fmax30: ctrl-alt-f7 is gui
[15:59] <d4n1s> What am I doing wron?
[16:00] <d4n1s> wrong\
[16:00] <goltoof> schnuffle1:  wait, now it tells me db not locked
[16:00] <fmax30> ty
[16:00] <joeoshawa> actually they throttle torrents 24/7 full connection throttling is during peak hours
[16:00] <ikonia> d4n1s: what are the errors ?
[16:00] <ikonia> d4n1s: (don't paste in here if there are more than 3 lines)
[16:00] <goltoof> schnuffle1:  but still can't install, admin dir still locked
[16:00] <Aethelrick> d4n1s, depends on what you're compiling, but usually you will want to run ./configure before you run make
[16:00] <joeoshawa> however i will take my issue somewhere else
[16:00] <BluesKaj> joeoshawa, which ISP ?
[16:00] <schnuffle1> goltoof: please paste the original error after you did sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock
[16:00] <joeoshawa> bell canada
[16:00] <joeoshawa> i checked
[16:00] <ikonia> BluesKaj: is it really an ubuntu issue to be discussed here ?
[16:00] <Aethelrick> d4n1s, also, make sure you have any required dependencies installed before you run make
[16:01] <d4n1s> Athelrick in the readme says that I have to do cd and then make
[16:01] <joeoshawa> there is bell and rogers all others feed off them
[16:01] <cdavis> What is a good console wifi scanner, I dont' want to sniff or anything, just something that will show me the strongest ssid in a console window
[16:01] <joeoshawa> so my options are limited
[16:01] <joeoshawa> the max i can torrent is 500 kps
[16:01] <KM0201> !info wifi-radar | cdavis
[16:01] <ikonia> joeoshawa: enough now please
[16:01] <d4n1s> gives me error codes 2 and 127
[16:01] <ikonia> joeoshawa: this channels for ubuntu support only
[16:02] <goltoof> schnuffle1: http://paste.ubuntu.com/559565/
[16:02] <BluesKaj> hmm I dl'd ubuntu-server yesterday at full speed for my service
[16:02] <Encr9> Hi, how do you do multiple commands in CLI? I tried &&, no luck
[16:02] <d4n1s> when I try to ./configure it says no such file or directory
[16:02] <ikonia> d4n1s: what are you trying to build ?
[16:02] <joeoshawa> i just said i would take the problem somewhere else i got asked a question politely and i was answering it thank you for your opinion
[16:02] <smw> Encr9, cmd1 ; cmd2
[16:02] <goltoof> Encr9:   command1 ; command 2
[16:02] <Encr9> ty
[16:02] <ikonia> joeoshawa: ok, so lets stop it now please.
[16:02] <jrib> Encr9: command1 && command2  will run command 2 only if command1 is successful
[16:02] <Fuco> well I quite can't find any way to add the system to grub2 @_@
[16:02] <d4n1s> linksys wag200g firmware
[16:02] <joeoshawa> i did
[16:02] <Encr9> jrib: ah ok thx
[16:03] <BluesKaj> joeoshawa, join #ubuntu-ca or #ubuntu-offtopic to discuss this further
[16:03] <joeoshawa> you didnt'
[16:03] <ikonia> d4n1s: contact linksys and ask them what you need to do to build it and what the supported platforms are
[16:03] <dr_Willis> Fuco edit 40_custome is one way
[16:03] <Aethelrick> d4n1s, errors during compile usually indicate that you're machine is missing a dependency, or that the software your compiling has issues. read documentation supplied with software to figure out what dependencies you require
[16:03] <cdavis> KM0201: wifi-radar is a "graphical" utility. I want something that will run in the console, like kismet only not nearly as sophisticated
[16:04] <Aethelrick> d4n1s, preferably, get a binary package instead of compiling software if these concepts are alien to you
[16:04] <Fuco> dr_Willis,  and where would I find it?
[16:04] <KM0201> cdavis: oh ok... how about sudo iwlist scan    ?
[16:04] <fmax30> airocrack will find and crack  everything.
[16:04] <d4n1s> no they are not I am a programer my self but I haven't ever compiled the tradional way
[16:04] <dr_Willis> Fuco check grub2 wiki. It details it in detail
[16:04] <goltoof> thoughts on this guys?  http://paste.ubuntu.com/559565/
[16:05] <BluesKaj> dr_Willis, have you tried the utorrent server for linux ?
[16:05] <KM0201> dr_Willis: details it in detail?  ;)
[16:05] <dr_Willis> !grub2
[16:05] <Fuco> dr_Willis, you mean https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 ?
[16:05] <andromachi98> hi
[16:05] <schnuffle1> goltoof: so first kill the process and then try sudo dpkg --configure -a
[16:05] <dr_Willis> BluesKaj:  its 32 bit only. So no
[16:06] <andromachi98> how are u all?
[16:06] <BluesKaj> dr_Willis, ok
[16:06] <Aethelrick> d4n1s, I just goggled what you trying... seems you need a cross compiler. This is embedded stuff you're compiling, your regular C compiler for linux won't work
[16:06] <guest9211> hello everyone
[16:06] <dr_Willis> Fuco:  yep
[16:06] <andromachi98> hello
[16:06] <schnuffle1> !ask | andromachi98
[16:06] <guest9211> i want to create a commercial website, which software will you recommend?
[16:06] <andromachi98> how old are u?
[16:06] <gunndawg> hey folks, recently I have not been able to change webpages when I open up firefox
[16:06] <Aethelrick> d4n1s, you need a toolchain that runs on linux and builds a binary for the target platform i.e. a cross compiler
[16:06] <goltoof> schnuffle1:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/559566/
[16:06] <gunndawg> I open it up and the address bar is locked
[16:06] <ikonia> andromachi98: this channel is not a social channel and is for ubuntu operating system support
[16:06] <schnuffle1> guest9211: Django
[16:06] <A_J|Unix> bazhang,  ty for all your help mate
[16:07] <A_J|Unix> i'm off
[16:07] <oCean> goltoof: it seems that even the kill -9 did not terminate the process. It might be in interruptable sleep (see: ps xauww |grep 11056)
[16:07] <A_J|Unix> bye
[16:07] <guest9211> schnuffle1: thanks, lemme check that
[16:08] <goltoof> oCean: http://paste.ubuntu.com/559567/
[16:08] <gunndawg> I think my firefox is broken as it wont let me type anything in the address bar and no default webpage shows up, is there anyway to fix this or reinstall firefox ?
[16:08] <Fuco> well it says what to edit but what should I add ;D
[16:08] <goltoof> oCean:  i think what started this all is when i tried to upgrade gimp
[16:08] <serard> Is there a way to activate notifications via command line ?
[16:08] <soapee01> Hiz: Is there a way I can 'force' file creation permissions to g+wr. I've tried umask, and acl's, but a certain program keeps creating files as g---
[16:08] <Fuco> would just "set root=(hd0,1)" do?
[16:09] <goltoof> oCean:  a few days back, haven't needed to install anything until now
[16:09] <oCean> goltoof: indeed, the Ds means the process is in interruptable sleep and will not be able to receive any signals like sigkill
[16:09] <goltoof> oCean:  o rly?  no way to kill it huh?
[16:10] <Toretto> ola.. necesito ayuda con mi ubuntu
[16:10] <guest9211> schnuffle1: so it is a cmd based app?
[16:10] <oCean> goltoof: usually a process in Ds state is waiting for another process to finish its i/o (maybe i/o on a network or removable device).
[16:10] <oCean> goltoof: can you reboot the machine?
[16:10] <schnuffle1> soapee01: you need to set the umask in the context of the command being executed
[16:10] <goltoof> oCean: yeah, that's what i usually do, was trying to avoid that
[16:11] <Fuco> ok I'm going to test it ;D
[16:11] <oCean> goltoof: I'm afraid you have no other option currently
[16:11] <soapee01> schnuffle1: not sure I can, it's a daemon process, and it's file creation permissions are hard coded. Open to suggestions.
[16:11] <goltoof> oCean:  my system has a lot of other problems actually, i probably should've mentioned but this didn't seem related
[16:11] <guest9211> schnuffle1: is there any app which is more like dreamweaver, supports but gui as well as commands?
[16:11] <goltoof> oCean:  at least i can say i tried :)
[16:11] <schnuffle1> guest9211: It's a MVC framework to crreate web apps like Rails
[16:11] <oCean> goltoof: sure thing :)
[16:11] <Anubis> gunndawg: try to move your .firefox or .mozilla directory to another location and start again the firefox
[16:12] <microm> how do I find out about this significant bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/672686 in the SRU team process? Where are they at with this bug?
[16:12] <goltoof> oCean:  thanks for the explanation
[16:12] <oCean> goltoof: no problem
[16:13] <schnuffle1> soapee01: the daemon should have a start script, there you can set the umask
[16:13] <shegman> how do i adjust mouse sensitivity and disable acceleration? option sensitivity doesnt seem to work in x.org file
[16:13] <ChipCherou> ubuntu keeps running dhcp.  How do I tell it to stop?
[16:14] <soapee01> schnuffle1: reading about that right now. will give that a try. thx.
[16:14] <schnuffle1> guest9211: nowadays websites aren't made with a HTML editor anymore
[16:14] <txdv> glib-config doesn't exist on 10.10, but I need that tool :>
[16:14] <txdv> someone know whats going on with it? why is it missing?
[16:15] <Tjololo12> Would someone have time to take a look at my /var/log/messages and let me know if they can figure out why my system keeps resetting? I can't figure it out and it's frustrating me.
[16:16] <BluesKaj> ChipCherou, do want a static IP ?
[16:16] <Fuco> well it didin't work :D I've added a new menuentry but it still loads up right to ubuntu
[16:16] <maurizio> ciao a tutti prova
[16:16] <Pici> microm: I don't see that steps 1 and 2 are complete, but I'm not a developer, you may want to ask in #ubuntu-devel, but keep in mind that is not a support channel.
[16:16] <schnuffle1> Tjololo12:  HAve you bootet with a live cd to see if it happens as well?
[16:16] <Fuco> the dialog didn't show up
[16:17] <Tjololo12> schnuffle: No, that's what I'm working on today.
[16:17] <schnuffle1> Tjololo12:  Resetting PCs is often due to corrupted power or memory
[16:18] <giacomo> ciao
[16:18] <Tjololo12> schnuffle1: I've tested the PSU with a multimeter and I ran memtest, both were clean.
[16:18] <giacomo> list!
[16:18] <Tjololo12> I don't have an oscilloscope or I'd try that too :(
[16:18] <JoseeAntonioR> guys
[16:19] <gunndawg> im back :)
[16:19] <JoseeAntonioR> how can i change the resolution of my monitor?
[16:19] <schnuffle1> Tjololo12: A multimeter won't do the job, osciloscope is the tool you would need. Because your mmmulti won't catch peaks
[16:19] <Tjololo12> Bah, figures.
[16:19] <Aethelrick> JoseeAntonioR, click on System, then preferences, then Monitors
[16:20] <JoseeAntonioR> Aethelrick: the only resolution available is 1024x768, and i need to change to 1280x1024
[16:20] <Tjololo12> Ok, let me swap out this PSU and see if that fixes it.
[16:20] <Aethelrick> JoseeAntonioR, what graphics card do you have?
[16:20] <JoseeAntonioR> Intel 845G
[16:21] <Anubis> Tjololo12: did you try to connect the computer to a ups ?
[16:21] <Tjololo12> Anubis: It's been on a UPS, surge protector, and plugged directly into the wall.
[16:21] <mOHawk> how do i send a pastebin screenshot i having problems updating?
[16:21] <Tjololo12> mOHawk: pastebinit

[16:22] <erUSUL> HiddenKnowledge: check minecraft docs...
[16:22] <iLike> Sun Java JRE
[16:22] <Anubis> Tjololo12:  oh, i see.
[16:22] <mOHawk> Tjololol12: do i set that in pastebin or terminal?
[16:23] <Aethelrick> JoseeAntonioR, have you installed an Intel driver for the card or are you using standard one?
[16:23] <Tjololo12> mOHawk: I had to install it with apt-get install pastebinit, then just do cat file | pastebinig
[16:23] <ckenda1_79> Is there any way for an Ubuntu Desktop to report it's IP/Hostname to a Windows DNS server in Active Directory? (like Windows Machines do)
[16:23] <guest9211> schnuffle1: Hmm, I have used dreamweaver and i am pretty comfortable with it, now i want to develop a website on my linux pc and such kind of software is not availble here, so what do you recommend me?
[16:23] <Tjololo12> s/pastebinig/pastebinit
[16:23] <JoseeAntonioR> Aethelrick: the one that comes with Ubuntu
[16:23] <gunndawg> What could I download or go to, to change the color or apperance of the default gray bars on the top and bottom of my desktop ?
[16:23] <soapee01> schnuffle1: start-stop-daemon -k $UMASK didn't do it either. Any other ideas?
[16:23] <mOHawk> k try it
[16:24] <bazhang> gunndawg,  a theme
[16:24] <Tjololo12> mOHawk: or I think you can do pastebinit -i file...check the manual first.
[16:24] <ChipCherou> BluesKaj, sry got called away for a second...actually I want it left alone for my own script to through it with 0.0.0.0 (part of bridge)
[16:24] <gunndawg> bazhang, alright...
[16:24] <bazhang> !themes | gunndawg have a look
[16:24] <mOHawk> Tjlololo12 haha can't connect
[16:24] <Mark_M> Grub2 is reporting the my boot and root partition is msdos when it is Linux. My grub.cfg file loads msdos.mod and refers to the boot partition as hd1,msdos2? How can I get it back to hd1,2 when grub-probe reports msdos?
[16:25] <Aethelrick> JoseeAntonioR, also what version of ubuntu you running?
[16:25] <MaMoUs> hello is there a MusicTracker for Empathy ubuntu 10.10
[16:25] <ryann> Does anyone know of cpu scaling is configured in the stock kernel?
[16:26] <ryann> does anyone know if cpu scaling is enabled in the stock kernel?
[16:26] <JoseeAntonioR> Aethelrick: 10.10, Maverick Meerkat

[16:28] <Tjololo12> mOHawk: try using different pastebins to see if they work. I think the switch is -b...again, check the man for available/compatible pastebins
[16:28] <ilon> bazhang: yeah, might be slightly off topic :)
[16:28] <bazhang> ilon, so dont paste here thanks
[16:29] <Mark_M> parted reports all of my partitions as msdos.  How do I change it to linux?
[16:29] <ilon> bazhang: got that the first time :)
[16:29] <goltoof> Mark_M:  o_)
[16:30] <Aethelrick> JoseeAntonioR, looks like the driver is the right one, you'll need to edit your xorg.conf file and add the appropriate mode for your monitor
[16:30] <JoseeAntonioR> Aethelrick: I've already done that, and added my monitor and the resolution I want
[16:30] <JoseeAntonioR> Aethelrick: Still NOTHING ):
[16:31] <crond> I thought xorg did its stuff mostly automagically now?
[16:32] <crond> I have a very minimal xorg.conf
[16:32] <dr_Willis> Mark_M:  pastebin  sudo fdisk -l  output for the channel . It may help
[16:32] <NewToUbuntu> I just downloaded software off the internet that wasn't in any repository. It installed in software center but I now I can't find it. Its .deb
[16:33] <dr_Willis> NewToUbuntu:  what was it
[16:33] <NewToUbuntu> A software synthesizer called Din is Noise
[16:33] <BluesKaj> ChipCherou, what script ..in /etc/network/interfaces ?
[16:33] <mOHawk> did it send?
[16:34] <Balmung> Question regarding the default grub boot loader settings.
[16:34] <dr_Willis> NewToUbuntu:  try the search feature of synaptic
[16:34] <Tjololo12> mOHawk: it'll give you a link to the pastebin on the console once it's uploaded.
[16:34] <ChipCherou> BluesKaj, Im using my own script(for implementing server change roles etc..., so I need dhcp to stop running)
[16:34] <luis_> hi
[16:34] <luis_> i'm new here
[16:34] <NewToUbuntu> Where would I find synaptic?
[16:34] <juniour> NewToUbuntu try in terminal whereis software name
[16:34] <goltoof> time for my inevitable reboot.. i will miss you guys
[16:35] <NewToUbuntu> I just installed ubuntu btw
[16:35] <NewToUbuntu> Thanks, I'll give it a try
[16:35] <dr_Willis> install it if its not insralled
[16:35] <BluesKaj> ChipCherou, ok then you probly need a static IP setup on your networked pcs , correct ?
[16:35] <Mark_M> dr_Willis dumb question, what is pastebin?
[16:35] <Mark_M> dr_Willis long time *nix user though
[16:35] <dr_Willis> !pastebin
[16:36] <Tjololo12> Ok, new data on my box. I was talking to Anubis and schnuffle1, but I think the latter left.....I've swapped out the PSU. The box boots to the login screen, sits there for 10-15 seconds, then reboots. It's done this four times since I started writing this message...Any takers?
[16:36] <ChipCherou> BluesKaj, Yep. Id like to se tthe ip's to 0.0.0.0statically
[16:36] <Mark_M> !pastebin sudo fdisk -l
[16:37] <Tjololo12> Mark_M: sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[16:37] <mOHawk> Tjololo12: did that sent to paste.ubuntu.com?
[16:37] <Aethelrick> JoseeAntonioR, I'm looking online and not seeing anyone with more than 1024x768 resolution
[16:37] <Aethelrick> JoseeAntonioR, is this card capable of more?
[16:38] <JoseeAntonioR> Aethelrick: yes, on Windows I was working with 1280x1024
[16:38] <ckenda1_79> Is there any way for an Ubuntu Desktop to report it's IP/Hostname to a Windows DNS server in Active Directory? (like Windows Machines do)
[16:38] <Tjololo12> mOHawk: I don't know. You have to check your console. It should output a link (such as paste.ubuntu.com/12KJH or however they're formatted), then share that link with us.
[16:38] <NewToUbuntu> where is /usr/bin/din?
[16:38] <Tjololo12> At least, that's how fpaste does it with fedora, and that's how I found pastebinit
[16:38] <Mark_M> dr_Willis, http://paste.ubuntu.com/559579/
[16:39] <BluesKaj> ChipCherou, each pc should have a different static IP , you can setup each pc in /etc/network/interfaces for example http://paste.ubuntu.com/559580/
[16:39] <giacomo> hi
[16:40] <giacomo> !list
[16:40] <Da|Mummy> xdcc list
[16:40] <NewToUbuntu> juniour where is /usr/bin/din ?
[16:40] <giacomo> xdcc list
[16:40] <Inferus> lol
[16:41] <Da|Mummy> giacomo, wtf are you trying to download?
[16:41] <Fuchs> NewToUbuntu: /usr/bin/din is already a full path. What are you looking for?
[16:41] <giacomo> yes
[16:41] <erUSUL> !it | giacomo
[16:41] <Da|Mummy> @find yes
[16:41] <Tjololo12> If I need to reinstall ubuntu, will it delete everything on the drive, or will it (somehow by the power of RA) save my data and just replace system files?
[16:41] <Araneidae> /dev/dsp -- where's it got to?
[16:41] <NewToUbuntu> A piece of software I downloaded off the internet. its a .deb file.
[16:41] <giacomo> grazie
[16:42] <Tjololo12> that's a way cool bot
[16:42] <Da|Mummy> how can i do croatian?
[16:42] <Fuchs> Araneidae: this is used by OSS, which is deprecated. You can install an oss wrapper, though.
[16:42] <juniour> NewToUbuntu places->computer->filesystem->usr->bin
[16:42] <NewToUbuntu> Thanks
[16:42] <Araneidae> Fuchs, ok, a wrapper will do find.  Do you remember what it's called?
[16:42] <Araneidae> fine, I mean
[16:42] <Mark_M> dr_Willis, but parted reports http://pastebin.com/m2VRvruU
[16:43] <erUSUL> Araneidae: padsp
[16:43] <BluesKaj> ChipCherou, unless you're looking for a NAS setup . where all pcs autoconnect at boot...but that's beyond my scope atm
[16:43] <Araneidae> erUSUL, thanks
[16:43] <Tjololo12> !hr | Da|Mummy
[16:43] <erUSUL> Araneidae: it comes in pulseaudio utils or some such
[16:43] <juniour> NewToUbuntu can you tell me which software you have installed
[16:43] <erUSUL> !find padsp
[16:43] <vavincavent> hi all
[16:43] <erUSUL> Araneidae: ^
[16:43] <ChipCherou> BluesKaj, Just need to have ubuntu leave the nic alone
[16:43] <Araneidae> Ah.  I often have trouble with pulseaudio
[16:43] <NewToUbuntu> din is noise
[16:43] <vavincavent> I have a compilation problem
[16:43] <Aethelrick> JoseeAntonioR, you could try to test different ranges with xrandr, see here... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution
[16:44] <juniour> NewToUbuntu wt is the use of this software?
[16:44] <Aethelrick> JoseeAntonioR, also see here for a forum post with the same problem http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/intel-82845g-graphics-controller-352262/
[16:44] <eXpLoD> why the /root directory is empty?if i do sudo su and then cd /root and then ls nothing shows up
[16:44] <crond> why the hell does installing python quickly install postfix?
[16:44] <vavincavent> i have to compile cdc-acm with some modifications
[16:44] <crond> this is retarded.
[16:44] <NewToUbuntu> a software synthesizer (instrument basically)
[16:44] <BluesKaj> ChipCherou, ethernet connection?
[16:44] <ikonia> eXpLoD: you shouldn't sudo su
[16:44] <Mark_M> dr_Willis, the problem is when I run sudo grub-probe -d /dev/sda1 --target=partmap it says msdos
[16:44] <ikonia> eXpLoD: /root is only the root users home directory, nothing more
[16:44] <jrib> eXpLoD: well what do you expect to be there?  Also use « sudo -i » instead of « sudo su » if you must
[16:45] <ChipCherou> BluesKaj, yep
[16:45] <erUSUL> eXpLoD: what you expect to find there?
[16:45] <juniour> crond in ubuntu python comes preinstalled
[16:45] <eXpLoD> well i don't know,why i dont have acces as a normal user if there are no files in it
[16:45] <BluesKaj> ChipCherou, then static IP is your best bet
[16:45] <NewToUbuntu> I'mstumped because software center tells me its installed but I can't see it anywhere
[16:45] <vavincavent> i have download linuxmake: *** Pas de cibles. Arrêt.
[16:45] <crond> juniour, nah, quickly and python-quickly.widgets I mean
[16:46] <ikonia> eXpLoD: because it's for the root user
[16:46] <jrib> eXpLoD: ls -ld /root  will reveal to you why
[16:46] <ikonia> eXpLoD: you have no reason to be in there
[16:46] <erUSUL> eXpLoD: becouse it is not your dir is root's what roots stores there is none of your business ;)
[16:46] <vavincavent> i have download linux-source, but i don't have any configure file to compile
[16:46] <dr_Willis> NewToUbuntu:  you mean you cant find an icon for it?
[16:46] <ikonia> vavincavent: you don't compile a kernel like that
[16:46] <ChipCherou> BluesKaj, Im quite sure I tried that on ll my nics and dhcp was still told to load.  But Ill try again after my machine is done doing something.  ty for yorur assisntace.  If it isn't fixed Ill be back
[16:47] <BluesKaj> ChipCherou, http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-ubuntu-linux-convert-dhcp-network-configuration-to-static-ip-configuration.html
[16:47] <NewToUbuntu> Yes, but I can't find it just to run it either
[16:47] <KM0201> NewToUbuntu: can you start it in terminal?
[16:47] <vavincavent> ikonia, how can i do?
[16:47] <NewToUbuntu> How would i do that?
[16:47] <ikonia> vavincavent: why do you want to build a kernel ?
[16:47] <ChipCherou> BluesKaj, thanks  going to read now
[16:47] <KM0201> NewToUbuntu: well whats the name of the program again?
[16:47] <Aethelrick> JoseeAntonioR, also, try looking in your BIOS and turning up the memory allocated to your graphics card, this may enable additional resolution options as low memory allocation locks the card to the low resolution options
[16:47] <NewToUbuntu> din is noise
[16:47] <BluesKaj> ChipCherou, the reason is that you're using network manager , it autoloads dhcp
[16:48] <looser> i have installed gnokii package ....but it is not running  ..how to run it through terminal
[16:48] <KM0201> NewToUbuntu: did you compile it?
[16:48] <vavincavent> ikonia, i don't want to compile kernel, just module cdc-acm
[16:48] <dr_Willis> NewToUbuntu:  figure out its binary cli command to run it. Then make an icon. Or use the shell
[16:48] <ikonia> vavincavent: ok, so why does the instructions for cdc-acm say to do
[16:48] <NewToUbuntu> I really have no idea what compiling it would do, or how to do it . . .
[16:48] <vavincavent> ikonia, i have an usb - rs232 not recognized
[16:48] <KM0201> NewToUbuntu: how did you install it?
[16:49] <NewToUbuntu> From dinisnoise.org
[16:49] <ikonia> vavincavent: that's not what I asked, I asked what did the instructions for csc-acm say to do
[16:49] <ChipCherou> BluesKaj, thanks for throwing that at me.  Thats a service that keeps interfering with some files of mine that gets annoying...perhaps disabling that will fix all my issues
[16:49] <erUSUL> vavincavent: why do you need a newer cdc-acm module? ...
[16:49] <NewToUbuntu> then it went to software center and I installed
[16:49] <juniour> NewToUbuntu alt-f2 and then type din is noise and enter
[16:49] <vavincavent> so i have added vendor id in cdc-acm.c
[16:49] <KM0201> NewToUbuntu: ok, hang on
[16:49] <dr_Willis> NewToUbuntu:  you are searvhing the installes apps sevtion of the pavkage manager?
[16:49] <itaylor57> KM0201: he downloaded and installed a .deb file
[16:49] <looser> i have installed gnokii package ....but it is not running  ..how to run it through terminal
[16:50] <KM0201> itaylor57: yeah, i'm seeing that now... i almost had to pull his teeth to get an answer
[16:50] <vavincavent> sorry, for my english, i'm french
[16:50] <NewToUbuntu> yup
[16:50] <ikonia> looser: type gnokii
[16:50] <Aethelrick> JoseeAntonioR, I'm getting the feeling (from repeated googling) that the 845G integrated graphics chipset is fairly low powered and aged. You may want to simply buy a new entry level card if you're working on a desktop system  and be done with it
[16:50] <KM0201> NewToUbuntu: open a terminal and type   "din" no quotes, and hit enter... and see if it starts
[16:50] <dr_Willis> Or open the deb and look to see walhat the binaries names are
[16:50] <dr_Willis> Or check its docs .
[16:51] <erUSUL> vavincavent: usb - rs232 devices so not use cdc-acm afaik. they usethis drivers ls /lib/modules/2.6.32-28-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/  pl2303 is quite common
[16:51] <ikonia> looser: there should also be a menu item for iut
[16:51] <KM0201> dang, i get a ton of errors when its installed.
[16:51] <ikonia> it
[16:51] <NewToUbuntu> lots of code went by but the program isn't running
[16:51] <Mark_M> Let me ask my question a different way. Is it normal to have your root='(hdX,msdosY)' in your grub.cfg?
[16:51] <KM0201> NewToUbuntu: yeah, i don't think that package is written properly... i got the same thing... you'll need to compile it from source
[16:52] <Tjololo12> Does anyone know the answer to my question? (reinstall of ubuntu 9.10, does it erase data or just replace system files?)
[16:52] <looser> ikonia, ya i have a menu icon but it is not opening from there
[16:52] <NewToUbuntu> how would I compile it from the source
[16:52] <vavincavent> see this url, i explain : http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?pid=3972196#p3972196
[16:52] <ikonia> looser: open it from the command line and see what it says
[16:52] <ikonia> NewToUbuntu: why would you want to do that
[16:52] <KM0201> NewToUbuntu: you would first get a lot more experience w/ ubuntu.
[16:52] <BluesKaj> ChipCherou, if you're going to use static IP , then you can just use network/interfaces which is the conf file that runs ethernet
[16:52] <jrib> Tjololo12: the install process formats partitions, so unless you have /home on a separate partition, you will lose data
[16:52] <looser> ikonia, how to open it
[16:52] <Tjololo12> bah, ok thanks
[16:53] <ikonia> looser: type gnokii on the command line
[16:53] <dr_Willis> Tjololo12:  a new install will want to reformat
[16:53] <ikonia> looser: normally you have to make a config file for it to open
[16:53] <NewToUbuntu> Thanks a lot by the way. this program looks very interesting. Curving your own waves, and creating multiple microtonal drones . . . but installing is proving frusterating
[16:53] <BluesKaj> ChipCherou, you can even remove network manager because you won't need it
[16:53] <Tjololo12> dr_Willis: isn't there some form of repair option?
[16:53] <looser> ikonia, i did it ...after execution of command it is listing the all options and setting for gnokii
[16:53] <dr_Willis> NewToUbuntu:  check its docs yet?
[16:53] <fool_> does anyone know what the official repo for libreoffice for lucid is ?
[16:54] <NewToUbuntu> docs? should have named myself new to computing
[16:54] <Fuco> can someone please tell me in a simple way how to add windows entry to the GRUB2 system?
[16:54] <ikonia> looser: ok, there you go then, read the options and fine out what you need to do, as I recall you need to create a config file for it
[16:54] <Fuco> the forum/wiki article is so blaoted it's impossible to follow
[16:54] <Fuco> I've tried something but it didn't work :P (adding entry to 40_custom)
[16:54] <jrib> Fuco: it should be detected automatically
[16:54] <Fuco> the problem is it boots right to ubuntu and there isn't the "chose system" dialog
[16:54] <dr_Willis> NewToUbuntu:  the info at its home page
[16:55] <jrib> Fuco: do you see the entry if you hold down "shift" during boot?
[16:55] <Balmung> anyone able to help me edit my grub loader so i can have windows 7 on the top as the default boot and/or change the time i have to wait till it auto boots?
[16:55] <Fuco> jrib, well either it isn't or the dialog where I pick the system is hiddne
[16:55] <KM0201> Fuco: it's not impossible... just not very well written...  have you ran sudo update-grub2
[16:55] <NewToUbuntu> the page I downloaded it from is pretty bare
[16:55] <NewToUbuntu> dinisnoise.org
[16:55] <Fuco> KM0201, I did indeed
[16:55] <Fuco> let me try the shift thing
[16:55] <KM0201> Fuco: allt hat will do is display grub..
[16:56] <dr_Willis> Balmung:  time wait is in the grub2 configs
[16:56] <ChipCherou> BluesKaj, thinking of just disabling it at first to see if theres any other issues that would arrise from it
[16:56] <Balmung> dr_willis i am new to ubuntu so how would i go about editing it?
[16:56] <BluesKaj> dunno if you can just disable it, ChipCherou
[16:57] <dr_Willis> !grub2
[16:57] <vavincavent> ikonia, see this url, i explain : http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?pid=3972196#p3972196
[16:57] <ChipCherou> BluesKaj, its in the /etc/init.d directory so i wold like to think tha tI can...if not I will happily remove it
[16:57] <ikonia> vavincavent: I don't need to see the URL - I'm asking you what it says to do next
[16:57] <dr_Willis> Im on my cell phone soi cant type a lot
[16:58] <Mark_M> fool_, http://ppa.launchpad.net/libreoffice/ppa/ubuntu
[16:59] <NewToUbuntu> KM0201 : so did you try and install din is noise and had similiar problems to me?
[17:00] <KM0201> NewToUbuntu: yup... it installed, but when i tried to start it, got a ton of output errors.
[17:00] <NewToUbuntu> damn
[17:00] <dr_Willis> Look for a ppa for it perhaps
[17:01] <aflyingturtle> hey I lost my network manager panel in the menu bar. Any way I can get it back?
[17:01] <NewToUbuntu> Thanks anyway. I'm not gonna give up though
[17:01] <Fuco> jrib, ok, holding down shift helped, I got to the menu :P but the windows entry didn't boot up so obviously I set something wrong. I only have "set root = (hd0,5)" there. Should I add something else?
[17:01] <dr_Willis> !ppa
[17:01] <ezra-s> is LUKS an option in maverick install?
[17:01] <iemand1> Hi everyone.
[17:01] <Tjololo12> dr_Willis: Ok so my partition 1 is /home, 5 is swap, 6 is / and 7 is /boot...If I reinstall, but set it so that partition 1 is /home, then I can reformat each of the other partitions and not lose any data right? Will I lose installed programs?
[17:02] <iemand1> Anybody Dutch in this chat?
[17:02] <juniour> aflyingturtle rigthclick on pannel and click on add to pannel

[17:02] <fool_> does anyone know what the official repo for libreoffice for lucid is ?
[17:02] <Tjololo12> Pici you beat me to it.
[17:02] <iemand1> Thanks
[17:02] <juniour> aflyingturtle type network in search box and add this
[17:03] <Kyle__> fool_: Is there any point to using libreoffice yet?  I mean, isn't it still at parity with OO?
[17:04] <aflyingturtle> juniour: when I type network in the search box nothing is there
[17:04] <BluesKaj> Kyle__, depends what you need libreoffice to do
[17:05] <Kyle__> BluesKaj: Um.  Last I looked they were the same,  No extra or new features, unless you count the art-work.
[17:06] <Kyle__> BluesKaj: correct me if I'm wrong there.
[17:06] <BluesKaj> yeah Kyle__ , I don't use libre much ...seems ok so far
[17:06] <BluesKaj> gotta  go, bbl
[17:07] <Kyle__> I've used OO for everything for the past few (5?+?) years, so I'm sure I'd be fine with it...just don't see the point in switching yet.
[17:08] <vavincavent> i have an usb - serial cable. lsusb give : Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0f14:0005

[17:09] <Tjololo12> on my disk, sda1 contains the /home directories, and sda7 contains the stuff that would be in /boot...However, sda1 is marked as bootable. Am I missing something?
[17:09] <erUSUL> Kyle__: if you use ubuntu you are already using ( ubuntu uses go-oo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go-oo )  and will be using libreoffice in 11.04
[17:09] <erUSUL> Tjololo12: it does not matter as long grub or other boot loader is in mbr
[17:10] <Tjololo12> erUSUL: ok cool, thanks
[17:10] <joeoshawa> haha did it i will be quick since people have an issue with it but problem solved i found a port bell doesn't dpi
[17:10] <Kyle__> erUSUL: It represents itself as OO, not go-oo, at least in 10.04 and 10.10.
[17:10] <Kyle__> erUSUL: I"m just saying I don't see the point in switching if there isn't a difference between them yet.
[17:10] <Kyle__> It's just posturing.
[17:10] <vavincavent> and dmesg : http://paste.ubuntu.com/559596/
[17:11] <erUSUL> Kyle__: well they did not change the name back; now they have changed it. naming is not that important; is it?
[17:12] <Guest44042> is here any one know about gnokii
[17:12] <Kyle__> erUSUL: It rather depends on why the name was changed.

[17:17]  * soonbyte chases after nvidia for non hybrid optimus drivers, and goes after ubuntu for patched v4l upside down mounted webcams :-)
[17:17] <Fuco> When I try to boot windows it says NTLDR IS MISSING... how can I restore it without scraping grub?
[17:18] <Kyle__> soonbyte: You know that's a driver thing, not a v4l thing, right?  Don't patch the whole of V4L, just modify the driver...or see if the softwar eyou have offers the option to rotate/flip/etc the video.
[17:19] <species> hi, how would I adjust the sensitive areas of a window border so I have more than 2 pixels when resizing it?
[17:20] <Araneidae> I'm trying `padsp` for OSS emulation, but am still getting error:  No such file or directory: '/dev/dsp'
[17:20] <Fuchs> species: use alt + middle mouse
[17:20] <species> on a 1080p monitor its hard to grab the exact pixel
[17:20] <jimlovell777> I'm using encfs in conjunction with Ubuntu One to store some files remotely but encrypted. This works great and I don't have to remember to do anything. Trouble is some of the files I want to store are my php scripts for a home website and apache complains the directory does not exist when it does. Any suggestions? (FYI this is only a local site on my home network and is not and will not be made public facing)
[17:20] <erUSUL> Araneidae: how are you using it?
[17:20] <Fuchs> species: you can resize a window at any position with this. Other window managers might use alt+right mouse instead
[17:20] <Araneidae> First `padsp -d python`, then `import ossaudiodev` and finally `ossaudiodev.open('w')`
[17:20] <species> ahh thanks, thats a better solution
[17:21] <Araneidae> No debug messages, nothing in syslog
[17:21] <erUSUL> Araneidae: why are you using ossaudiodev does python not have modules for alsa or/an pulseaudio ?
[17:22] <Araneidae> erUSUL, I'm trying to port a Python module that works on RHEL5
[17:23] <Araneidae> And, no, I can't see alsa or pulseaudio support in the standard Python library ... and I don't really see why it should be necessary!
[17:23] <Araneidae> I understand that OSS is obsolescent ...
[17:24] <d4n1s> hi
[17:24] <Araneidae> Of course, ALSA audio bindings *do* exist, but why is Ubuntu forcing me to rewrite something that already works?
[17:24] <d4n1s> I found what I should install in my ubuntu to compile my linksys firmware
[17:25] <Fuco> When I try to boot windows it says NTLDR IS MISSING... how can I restore it without scraping grub?
[17:25] <d4n1s> can anyone tell me if my latest version ubuntu has them?
[17:25] <A_J> i have a seprate  partition named downloads,  how do find the path to that in filezilla
[17:25] <d4n1s> make
[17:25] <d4n1s> 	rcs

[17:25] <d4n1s> 	findutils
[17:25] <erUSUL> Araneidae: i do not think it would be any different in any modern distro; it is not just ubuntu
[17:25] <nits_hunter> guys can someone tell me what's the best ide - i am working with jsp, mysql and xhtml for my project
[17:25] <species> A_J: is it mounted anywhere? that would be where it is
[17:25] <A_J> i can see it on the desktop
[17:26] <species> it's either in /mnt or /media
[17:26] <species> most likely /media if its been autodetected
[17:26] <A_J> was is in media
[17:26] <A_J> thank you
[17:26] <d4n1s> Please can anyone tell me if my latest ubuntu version has the following tools installed? http://paste.ubuntu.com/559611/
[17:26] <species> i dont think ubuntu uses /mnt actually
[17:26] <species> A_J: np
[17:26] <A_J> :D
[17:26] <d4n1s> anyone plz????
[17:27] <JohnDoe_71Rus> compiz doesn't enable by default after loging. Visual effects don't work. But start in the manual way. ubuntu 10.04
[17:27] <JohnDoe_71Rus> driver is fine
[17:28] <species> d4n1s: most of those should be installed by default
[17:28] <species> d4n1s: if they arent you can install them yourself
[17:28] <ikonia> d4n1s: they are in the latest ubuntu versions
[17:28] <d4n1s> yeah but how?
[17:29] <d4n1s> ahh ok thx
[17:30] <nits_hunter> d4n1s: dpkg -L <packagename>
[17:30] <geekbri> does anybody know why when you try to install openjdk or sunjdk it seems to want to install a million packages including x11-common.  Is there a way to install this without installing a ton of packageS?
[17:30] <nits_hunter> guys can someone tell me what's the best ide - i am working with jsp, mysql and xhtml for my project
[17:30] <Kyle__> geekbri: Tell it not to install the reccomended packages
[17:31] <ikonia> nits_hunter: ask the guys in ##java
[17:31] <species> you could but bits of the jdk would be missing
[17:31] <ikonia> nits_hunter: they work with java every day
[17:31] <geekbri> Kyle__, how does one do that?
[17:32] <nits_hunter> ikonia:  thanks for the tip, so the room name is #java
[17:32] <nits_hunter> ?
[17:32] <Kyle__> geekbri: I think it's apt-get install --no-reccomends, but i"m looking in my bash history, hold on a sec.
[17:32] <Fuco> When I try to boot windows it says NTLDR IS MISSING... how can I restore it without scraping grub?
[17:32] <geekbri> Kyle__, thanks.  It just seems crazy to install all of these packages when all I want is the java run time enviroment in the console.
[17:32] <Irreducibilis> geekbri, That's not to say that some dependancies are simply unneeded
[17:32] <Kyle__> apt-get install --no-install-recommends
[17:33] <Kyle__> geekbri: Thats the thing. --no-install-recommends.
[17:33] <erUSUL> Fuco: use fixmbr froma  windows install cd recovery console; then you will have to reinstall grub but that's quite easy with a ubuntu livecd
[17:33] <Kyle__> geekbri: It won't get rid of things that are actually required, it will still install those, but it will get rid of installing all the miscellanious crap that ubuntu wants to install as well :)
[17:34] <anon33_> When I try to install a package (in this case, ia32-libs), it tells me it has unmet dependencies and won't be installed. The E: is Broken Packages
[17:34] <anon33_> Anyone know whatsup?
[17:34] <itaylor57> geekbri: all you need to install is the jre not the sdk
[17:34] <Fuco> well OK
[17:34] <geekbri> itaylor57, i found even the JRE wanted to install packages i had no use for.
[17:34] <Irreducibilis> anon33_, Are you simply fetching it using apt-get, or are you trying to manually compile it from source?
[17:35] <itaylor57> geekbri: good luck tracking down the errors and finding the dependancies at run time
[17:35] <Fuco> another thing, why is sound so messed up on linux? I've tried ubuntu, mint and debian (which are all kind of the same tho) and every time I play smoething it skips and lags ... I have the most common audio card every (onboard realtek AC97). One would think that after 10 years or what such a basic thing would work out of the box
[17:35] <anon33_> Irreducibilis: It's a 'sudo apt-get install' command.
[17:36] <geekbri> itaylor57, it was more things like asound, and x11-common that i dont want.  I can always install thngs like debuggers after the fact
[17:36] <Irreducibilis> anon33_, That seems odd, considering apt is supposed to automatically resolve and get dependancies as well.
[17:36] <ikonia> Fuco: mail realtek and ask them why they don't make the "drivers" open source then, instead of complaining to linux, complain to the vendor for not having Linux support as good as you'd like
[17:36] <Fuco> do you think fedora might work or should I go right back to win? :D
[17:36] <anon33_> Irreducibilis: Yup - that's why I have no idea what's going on.
[17:36] <Kyle__> Fuco: I've never had an issue with _any_ distro playing on an AC97 codec audio card.  Either your hardware is screwed up, or your system is under way _way_ too much load when you go to play audio.
[17:37] <Fuco> well I do exactly nothing and it works flawlessly on windows
[17:37] <Fuco> and mac
[17:37] <Irreducibilis> Fuco, I use Fedora
[17:37] <al09> ?
[17:37] <ikonia> Kyle__: some models (3d sound things) don't work well, due to the software layer they use
[17:37] <ikonia> Fuco: windows has no relevance to it's performance and stability in Linux
[17:37] <Fuco> ikonia, maybe it doesn't, I'm just saying it works so it's not a hardware issue
[17:37] <Fuco> like messed up chip or something
[17:37] <ikonia> Fuco: it can be a hardware issue, an incompatability or miss-configuration
[17:38] <Kyle__> ikonia: The 3d part of it may have issues, but standard mono and stereo stound?  I've nver seen it have issues.
[17:38] <Fuco> incompatibility with what?
[17:38] <Irreducibilis> Hardware issues can also include drivers.
[17:38] <Fuco> distro or the card?
[17:38] <ikonia> Kyle__: agreed, but some cards as I've said rely on a software layer just to work
[17:39] <ikonia> Fuco: Linux + card
[17:39] <Irreducibilis> Fuco, It's not distro-specific, but driver-specific.
[17:39] <Fuco> because this is the most common card used on laptops pretty much by everyone... I'd assume that this isn't that common of a thing
[17:39] <ikonia> Fuco: that doesn't mean it's supported with Linux
[17:39] <Kyle__> ikonia: Hu.  And I thought that sort of braindamnage only happened with USB devices :)
[17:39] <ikonia> Fuco: ATI is a very common video card, but that has terrible support with Linux
[17:39] <Fuco> no, but I would hit like 100000000 results on google if it was
[17:39] <Irreducibilis> ikonia, Haven't they written appropreate drivers?
[17:39] <fool_> Kyle__: i just wanna try :D :)
[17:40] <Irreducibilis> ATI themselves.
[17:40] <Fuco> well I'm just asking what are my options
[17:40] <ikonia> Irreducibilis: I don't know, check it out, I don't know what realtek's stance on Linux support is
[17:40] <Fuco> I read somewhere to remove pulseaudio
[17:40] <Fuco> I have no idea what that is
[17:40] <ikonia> Irreducibilis: the ATI drivers are poor
[17:40] <Irreducibilis> I see.
[17:40] <fool_> does anyone know a good lightweight bittorrent tracker ?
[17:41] <Irreducibilis> It doesnt matter anyways, considering my laptop uses intel graphics.
[17:41] <Kyle__> fool_: OK, now that's a good answer.
[17:42] <xorcon> i installed ubuntu 10.10 on an old G4 ppc laptop but when i try to activate the b43 drivers for the wireless card the application just freezes and goes on a loop, any ideas?
[17:42] <ikonia> xorcon: where did you get the PPC 10.10 port
[17:43] <xorcon> ikonia: to say the truth i don't remember xD, i googled it and found it somewhere
[17:43] <xorcon> ikonia: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/10.10/release/ here if i remember correctly
[17:43] <Matt-_-> hi Km0201 :) how are you?
[17:44] <KM0201> awesome, i just got level 25 in frozen bubble...lol
[17:44] <Matt-_-> lol
[17:44] <ikonia> xorcon: I got it, PPC got dropped to community support so I was curious to if it was an official release or a community one
[17:45] <KM0201> i belive PPC is a community release.
[17:45] <lea123> Ubuntu 10.10 freezes most of  the times when I open too many windows... I get the black and white screen..
[17:45] <KM0201> !ppc
[17:46] <KM0201> Fuco: did you figure your problem out
[17:46] <Dr_Willis_> grub2's os-prober seems to have a few issues seeing windows properly on some systems. :(
[17:47] <Fuco>  KM0201: about what now? I have several problems :D
[17:47] <Fuco> the boot thing?
[17:47] <KM0201> Fuco: yeah, windows not gettimg picked up ing rub
[17:47] <xorcon> KM0201: can you suggest me any light and stable linux distros for ppc?
[17:47] <KM0201> der...
[17:47] <KM0201> xorcon: how "light"... what are your system specs?
[17:47] <Fuco> KM0201,  yea I can get to the menu now, but it say NTLDR NOT FOUND when I try to boot up from that disc
[17:47] <Dr_Willis_> xorcon:  theres very few ppc disrtos out these days that are well supported.
[17:47] <Fuco> so I guess I have to reinstall it and then reinstall grub or something
[17:48] <xorcon> KM0201: G4 1.2hgz 512mb ram
[17:48] <Dr_Willis_> xorcon:  lubuntu should work on that. If you can find a ppc version
[17:49] <KM0201> xorcon: i like Debian... it's *similar* to ubuntu... but don't expect much tech support other than *RTFM!*
[17:49] <xorcon> Dr_Willis_: i found a ppc version but it was bugged and i couldn't activate the b43 wireless drivers, also it wasn't light at all
[17:49] <nabukadnezar43> guess how can i change the dns servers in ubuntu
[17:49] <nabukadnezar43> i changed resolv.conf but it's reset after restart
[17:49] <KM0201> xorcon: ah, so you need wirless support as well.
[17:49] <nabukadnezar43> *guess=guys
[17:49] <Dr_Willis_> xorcon:  lubuntu is about as light a linux disrto as you are going to find. Unless you use some minimal-install and just install a windopw manager.
[17:49] <Seveas> nabukadnezar43, rightclick on the network-manager icon, select edit connections. Pick the one you want to edit and change the dns servers
[17:50] <xorcon> KM0201: yes
[17:50] <Matt-_-> Km0201... i've been using ubuntu for a week and everything is good and cool, but my notebook tends to overheat, even when i'm only using firefox...
[17:50] <Dr_Willis_> xorcon:  PPC is slowly dieing off. getting wireless working may be hard in any disrto.
[17:50] <nabukadnezar43> Seveas: i need to enter ips too there
[17:50] <nabukadnezar43> Seveas: but i dont want to set up a static ip
[17:50] <}dec3pti0n{> I just installed ubuntu 10.10 netbook ed. and I'm having problems with vpnc ... I don't see the tun module with lsmod and I have done a search with find and I can't see any tun.ko neither
[17:50] <KM0201> xorcon: sadly, Dr_Willis_ is right... i personally would look at Debian
[17:50] <Seveas> nabukadnezar43, you can do dhcp
[17:50] <KM0201> Matt-_-: it's over heating?... is the fan running?
[17:51] <xorcon> KM0201: ok i will give it a try
[17:51] <itaylor57> KM0201: looks like the recent kernel has resolved my wireless issues
[17:51] <KM0201> itaylor57: :)
[17:51] <nabukadnezar43> Seveas: ok thanks i did not see that option first time i checked
[17:51] <Seveas> nabukadnezar43, select "Automatic (DHCP) addresses only"
[17:51] <KM0201> itaylor57: wasnt it an intel?
[17:51] <Fuco> so it seems like raeltek have some linux drivers, but only for 260/262... I have 268. Well let's give it a try  anyway
[17:51] <kreignf> fool_, how lightweight?
[17:51] <itaylor57> yep
[17:51] <kreignf> oops, was way behind in buffer.
[17:51] <KM0201> thats what i thought.. thats good, there was someone else w/ that prob last night
[17:51] <fool_> kreignf: very light weight
[17:51] <}dec3pti0n{> is the tun module in a separate pkg on 10.10 ?
[17:52] <Matt-_-> KM0201... yes, the fan runs fast (but now i'm on win7)
[17:52] <fool_> kreignf: preferably runs on flat file or sqlite, 20 clients max
[17:52] <KM0201> Matt-_-: i mean, is it running under Linux
[17:52] <xorcon> also what about netflix on ubuntu? i've searched around but it looks like the only solution is with a virtual machine, right?
[17:52] <Dr_Willis_> xorcon:  you got it.
[17:52] <Matt-_-> yes, i meant it runs fast on linux and not when i'm on win
[17:52] <jstoone> Hi guys, am fooling around with some .sh scripts, and I'm really not used to this language, but what's the best way to start/stop an action on keyinput?
[17:53] <KM0201> xorcon: pretty much, but on a machine that old, w/ that little ram, i wouldn't expect much w/ virtual machine.
[17:53] <Kyle__> xorcon: Yes.  Netflix relies on silverlight to communicate with computers (not sure aobut other devices).
[17:53] <kreignf> fool_, rtorrent might do the trick. it monitors a dir for .torrent files and will dump your working data to the appropriate/configured directory, as well as the 'finished' data. it's console based, and it'll run just fine on something like a 400Mhz machine w/ 128M w/o issue.
[17:53] <KM0201> Matt-_-: oh... so its not overheating in linux, its overheating in windows?
[17:53] <Matt-_-> when i shutdown ubuntu and try to reboot it can't do that... my notebook shuts down abruptly
[17:53] <kreignf> fool_, client, tracker... not much of a difference is there? at any rate, I think it should be able to serve as both.
[17:53] <Kyle__> xorcon: There is a rather rudimentary silverlight plugin for linux+firefox, but netflix won't use it.
[17:53] <Seveas> Kyle__, won't moonlight work?
[17:53] <Seveas> ah :)
[17:53] <Taravel> Hi, I should update the kernel of ubuntu 10.10 to a newer version. Can I use the packages for natty in this page? http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
[17:53] <Matt-_-> KM0201, no it's the contrary
[17:53] <fool_> kreignf: erhh yes there is lol :)
[17:53] <Dr_Willis_> jstoone:  in bash? You may want to check the advancedbash scripting guide. Normally bash script dont work that way.
[17:53] <Kyle__> Seveas: Not as far as I know.
[17:54] <KM0201> Matt-_-: now i'm lost.. you said just a minute ago, your fan was running on linux.
[17:54] <kreignf> fool_, well nevermind then. I haven't a clue.
[17:54] <xorcon> KM0201: no i wouldn't even try on that one, i'd use on another machine
[17:54] <Seveas> Taravel, why do you want to update?
[17:54] <KM0201> xorcon: oh ok.. :)
[17:54] <Matt-_-> yes, it's running fast because it tends to overheat
[17:54] <nabukadnezar43> guys, how can i disable tearing in compiz (already selected sync to vblank)
[17:54] <KM0201> ok..
[17:55] <joeoshawa> disable tearing?
[17:55] <nabukadnezar43> also enabled tearfree desktop in amdcccle
[17:55] <Dr_Willis_> nabukadnezar43:  what video chipset?
[17:55] <Sharpclaw> Guys, MAJOR problem... I can't run Ubuntu.
[17:55] <nabukadnezar43> amd's r700 chipset with fglrx driver
[17:55] <xorcon> KM0201: maybe you can help on this one too, the other machine is an imac with the bluetooth mouse and keyboard from apple, last time i tried (ubuntu 10.4) they worked fine during the installation but then stopped
[17:55] <joeoshawa> sharpclaw why
[17:55] <jstoone> Dr.Willis: That's what i thought.. can you recommend any other languages, cause i'm useing menencoder and arecord to capture sound/video from webcam, for fun.
[17:55] <KM0201> Matt-_-: is the laptop actually getting hot, or are you just assuming it is, because the fan is constantly running?
[17:56] <Sharpclaw> Not sure, It says that a file is missing.
[17:56] <allure> Hi guys.. I'm trying to connect to a VPN but I keep getting this error: "GRE: Bad checksum from pppd." What could it be?
[17:56] <edwardteach> jstoone, there's a bash channel #bash!
[17:56] <Matt-_-> no, it's getting hot
[17:56] <Dr_Willis_> jstoone:  python is proberly worth learning...
[17:56] <KM0201> xorcon: i know absolutely zero about bluetooth
[17:56] <joeoshawa> what file
[17:56] <xorcon> KM0201: ok, thanks anyway :)
[17:56] <jstoone> edwardteach: Thanks I won't interupt then, have a good one (:
[17:57] <joeoshawa> sorry Sharpclaw what file
[17:57] <paulo> how can I remove Libre Office from my computer?
[17:57] <Dr_Willis_> paulo:  how did you install it?
[17:57] <Sharpclaw> Not sure. It says "Install Ubuntu" on my falsh drive (USB) in My computer. (Still using Windows :()
[17:57] <jstoone> Dr_willis: I've been working alot with that one, but only makeing scripts for my friend to his windows box, but thanks again. Have a good one.
[17:57] <Taravel> Because I'm trying to use a IR / DVB-T device following a tutorial but for this guide (that is for Arch) is needed  he kernel 2.6.36 (later is better because this let me avoid to apply some patchs). I'm using a USB installation so I don't care about crashs   Seveas
[17:58] <paulo> Dr_Willis_: I`ve typed : dpkg -i *.deb
[17:58] <joeoshawa> Sharpclaw are you trying to use wubi
[17:58] <Sharpclaw> I don't know. No?
[17:58] <itaylor57> KM0201: I was mistaken i have a Realtek
[17:58] <KM0201> itaylor57: ah ok.
[17:58] <Dr_Willis_> paulo:  then you use the package manager system to remove it.
[17:58] <joeoshawa> install from windows?
[17:58] <Seveas> Taravel, ok, then using that ppa is reasonable. Make sure you keep a maverick kernel around though so you have something to fall back on
[17:58] <Dr_Willis_> paulo:  sudo apt-get remove WHATEVERITSCALLED  or use a gui to the package manager system
[17:58] <joeoshawa> Sharpclaw are you trying to install from windows?
[17:58] <paulo> BUT I want to remove it completely
[17:59] <Kyle__> Humm
[17:59] <Dr_Willis_> paulo:  use the 'purge' option instead of remove then.
[17:59] <itaylor57> KM0201: I do remember that the Intel doesn't work with n networks I believe
[17:59] <Sharpclaw> Yeah... Wait, no.
[17:59] <Kyle__> Taravel: Which DVB device are you using?  I was about to resort to trying mine under a windows VM...
[17:59] <aguitel> is anyone use Epson tx125 in ubuntu ?
[17:59] <Dr_Willis_> Sharpclaw:  you can do a install 'inside' windows using wubi. (but its not reccomdned by me. :)
[17:59] <paulo> BUT I dont know whiche dependencies of libre office are
[18:00] <paulo> wich*
[18:00] <joeoshawa> Sharpclaw can you burn ubuntu on a cd?
[18:00] <Dr_Willis_> paulo:  if you remove the main package. it shoudl remove the uneeded deps also
[18:00] <Taravel> Hauppauge WinTV MiniStick HD
[18:00] <paulo> main package?
[18:00] <paulo> ok
[18:00] <Sharpclaw> Hang on....
[18:00] <joeoshawa> Sharpclaw do you have a cd writer or dvd writer?
[18:00] <Dr_Willis_> paulo:  you got all the pacakges listed in the dir still also.. fire yp synaptic and search for their names.
[18:00] <Taravel> The DVB-T works in ubuntu 10.10 but the IR need some "hacks"
[18:01] <paulo> Dr_Willis_: sudo apt-get purge libre office
[18:01] <paulo> can I type that?
[18:01] <ChogyDan> paulo: I recently found out about debfoster for removing extra packages, but you need to know what you are doing for that
[18:01] <Dr_Willis_> paulo:  i doubt if thats the correct package name
[18:01] <Taravel> ( Installing the proper firmware :) )
[18:01] <Dr_Willis_> paulo:  learn to use the TAB key to autocomplete things also.
[18:01] <paulo> BUT I ve installed the libre office
[18:01] <Dr_Willis_> apt-get purge libre<TAB> perhaps....
[18:01] <paulo> ok
[18:01] <Dr_Willis_> paulo:  the name of the DEB file is not its 'package name'
[18:02] <allure> Hi guys.. I'm trying to connect to a VPN but I keep getting this error: "GRE: Bad checksum from pppd." What could it be?
[18:02] <Kyle__> Taravel: Thanks.  I'lm going to look it up, see if there's anything "clever" I need to do.
[18:02] <paulo> Dr_Willis_: ok
[18:02] <Kyle__> Taravel: Is yours an ATSC device?
[18:03] <SilverCore> hello
[18:03] <Dr_Willis_> paulo:  why dont you just fire up synaptic and use its search feature? or the other gui package manager tools..
[18:03] <SilverCore> can any one help me? i have an error
[18:03] <noonian> !ask
[18:03] <SilverCore> lol
[18:04] <SilverCore> I've installed "Platinum Arts Sendbox FPS" and since then I can't install or un-install anything at all. I can't even remove it because it stuck at 0%!!
[18:04] <SilverCore> Help me please.
[18:04] <paulo> Dr_Willis_: because I dont trust in Synaptic
[18:04] <SilverCore> And yes, i tried to reset
[18:04] <Dr_Willis_> paulo:  i dont trust in doing 'dpkg -i *.deb'
[18:04] <Taravel> Kyle__: what it means?
[18:04] <KM0201> paulo: don't trust synaptic?  you do realize its just a front end for apt-get don't you?
[18:04] <paulo> hummm.... KM0201
[18:05] <Dr_Willis_> paulo:  i find that.. odd.. giveing your low-skillset in using the apt tools..
[18:05] <paulo> sorry for that, it s my dumbess
[18:05] <SilverCore> so? any answers for me?
[18:05] <Taravel> Seveas: Is v2.6.37-rc2-maverick/ the newest kernel that can I install?
[18:05] <ChogyDan> SilverCore: any error messages?
[18:05] <Kyle__> Taravel: ATSC is the north-american version of digital broadcast tv.
[18:05] <paulo> apt-get purge => its perfect
[18:05] <paulo> I want to use it
[18:05] <SilverCore> I've installed "Platinum Arts Sendbox FPS" and since then I can't install or un-install anything at all. I can't even remove it because it stuck at 0%!!
[18:05] <Julien_> bonsoir
[18:05] <SilverCore> Help me please.
[18:05] <Kyle__> apt-get binge
[18:05] <Dr_Willis_> paulo:  its very possible apt-get purge libre* may do what you want...    or use the TAB key like i mentioned to show the installed packages.
[18:06] <Dr_Willis_> synaptic can do purges also..
[18:06] <noonian> SilverCore, how did you try to install it?
[18:06] <Kyle__> But what about binges?
[18:06] <ChogyDan> SilverCore: try sudo apt-get install -f
[18:06] <ezra-s> synaptic is very easy to use, it's cool
[18:06] <paulo> ok, Dr_Willis_
[18:06] <paulo> I did it
[18:06] <paulo> ohhh no this not good, Dr_Willis_
[18:06] <paulo> E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'libreoffice3-math_3.3.0-19_i386.deb'
[18:07] <paulo> a lot of errors
[18:07] <Dr_Willis_> paulo:  you DONT use the .deb name..
[18:07] <Dr_Willis_> that packages name is proberly libreoffice3-math
[18:07] <quiescens> Dr_Willis_: apt-get purge libre* would autocomplete based on the files in the current directory
[18:07] <paulo> no, Dr_Willis_
[18:07] <paulo> I made what you said
[18:07] <quiescens> er, would expand based on, rather
[18:07] <Dr_Willis_> quiescens:  oh yea. :) if he was not in that dir. it may work.
[18:07] <paulo> I use apt-get purge libreoffice*
[18:08] <Dr_Willis_> or he should just use the TAB key and let the autocomplete do its work.
[18:08] <paulo> yeAH, Dr_Willis_
[18:08] <Dr_Willis_> paulo:  do it from a differnt directory.
[18:08] <paulo> I made that
[18:08] <ChogyDan> I have found that sometimes using the * with apt-get is full of fail
[18:08] <paulo> with tab key
[18:08] <Dr_Willis_> paulo:  its completeing the filenames first.
[18:08] <ezra-s> with synaptic he would be able to check every and each of libreoffice package for removal
[18:08]  * Dr_Willis_ would of just fired up synaptic and been done  with it.
[18:08] <quiescens> you really just need to escape the * so the shell doesn't do expansion
[18:09] <Taravel> Kyle__: don't know I bought and use it in Italy :P  But searching on Hauppauge site I can't find my product
[18:09] <paulo> I did it, it didnt work
[18:09] <Dr_Willis_> quiescens:  yea. i rarely use * with the pacqkge tools..
[18:09] <paulo> E: Unable to locate package libreoffice3-ure_1.7.0-19_i386.deb
[18:09] <paulo> E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'libreoffice3-ure_1.7.0-19_i386.deb'
[18:09] <paulo> E: Unable to locate package libreoffice3-writer_3.3.0-19_i386.deb
[18:09] <paulo> E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'libreoffice3-writer_3.3.0-19_i386.deb'
[18:09] <SilverCore> -_-
[18:09] <FloodBot2> paulo: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:09] <paulo> sorry, FloodBot2
[18:09] <Kyle__> Taravel: Ah, deffinately not the protocol then :) thanks.
[18:09] <Dr_Willis_> paulo:  its completeing the filenames.. not the pacakgenames.. so that makes sence.
[18:09] <eXpLoD> where can i configure compiz?
[18:09] <ezra-s> paulo maybe you don't even have them fully installed
[18:10] <Dr_Willis_> paulo:  try tab completion from  a directory Other then the one where the .deb files are
[18:10] <Dr_Willis_> paulo:  and most likely the pacakge names are like -> libreoffice3-writer   ie: without the # and _i386.deb at the end
[18:10] <paulo> EXPLAIN, please: WHY is easier to install packages on LINUX and is it HARD to take it off?
[18:10] <ezra-s> paulo,  and synaptic or apt do not try to find .deb files to remove installed packages
[18:11] <Dr_Willis_> paulo:  its hard because you dont know the fundamentals of the pacakge manager system.
[18:11] <Dr_Willis_> paulo:  using 'dpkg -i *.deb' is very very very bad habbit. I suggest never doing that again.
[18:11] <KM0201> paulo: had you done it right,it probably wouldn't be hard to uninstall
[18:11] <noonian> paulo, it is just as easy to remove as install programs from the repos using the package managers
[18:11] <paulo> the human logical was you type remove package_name  and will be happy
[18:11] <shcherbak> paulo: it is not.
[18:12] <welsh_shinobi> I just installed netbook edition of ubuntu to my machine to replace a broken xp install, but i put it in its own partition so i wouldnt lose my files, but now i'm in ubuntu i cant see where i need to go to mount the old partition with the files on it, any help?
[18:12] <paulo> why not?
[18:12] <Dr_Willis_> the 'whatevername.deb' has nothing to do with the actual 'package name'
[18:12] <KM0201> paulo: you're blaming the OS for a user malfunction... if you want to find the problem, find yoru nearest mirror
[18:12] <paulo> linux doesnt make sense
[18:12] <noonian> basically, we humans cant be trusted to use dpkg and apt knows how to do it right every time
[18:12] <Dr_Willis_> paulo:  it makes perfect sence. once you learn the fundamentals.
[18:12] <paulo> I dont want to blame the OS
[18:12] <ChogyDan> paulo: try debfoster
[18:12] <Dr_Willis_> paulo:  the best way to try out libreoffice would have been to use a ppa repository.
[18:12] <paulo> i think that it would be better to remove packages
[18:12] <SilverCore> Anybody here?
[18:13] <Kyle__> SilverCore: Nope.  We're all just a bunch of IRC bots.
[18:13] <paulo> ok, ChogyDan
[18:13] <paulo> thank you for all help
[18:13] <KM0201> paulo: a few quotes:  "linux makes no sense"  "EXPLAIN, please: WHY is easier to install packages on LINUX and is it HARD to take it off?"
[18:13] <quiescens> i.. think it would be less confusing if a dozen people don't give different advice at the same time
[18:13] <shcherbak> paulo: apt-get install is opposite to apt-get remove --purge, if you insatll from source, just follow right instructions
[18:13] <xangua> paulo: if you don't know the package name use synaptic like you were told
[18:13] <KM0201> shcherbak: that would entail reading
[18:13] <paulo> ok, xangua
[18:13] <KM0201> death to rading
[18:13] <Dr_Willis_> !apt
[18:13] <KM0201> *reading
[18:14] <Dr_Willis_> Ultimate advice. :) if you insist on using apt from the command line..
[18:14] <shcherbak> KM0201: lol
[18:14] <KM0201> :)
[18:14] <KM0201> and spelling!
[18:14] <paulo> xangua: what about dependencies?
[18:14] <Dr_Willis_> Spelling and neatness count.
[18:14] <Dr_Willis_> paulo:  dpkg -i would not have installed all needed dependencues.. you got lucky :)
[18:14] <shcherbak> KM0201: lag, cannot see what i write
[18:15] <KM0201> shcherbak: thats some pretty bad lag
[18:15] <KM0201> and it was me that misspelled, not you
[18:15] <ezra-s> paulo, if you feel like going wild -> sudo apt-cache search libreoffice | awk '{print $1}' | grep libreoffice | sudo apt-get purge
[18:15] <cynicaloptimist> shcherbak: that's always fun.
[18:15] <shcherbak> KM0201: ok, back in shape
[18:16] <eXpLoD> where can i configure compiz?and can somebody give me a link of all the compiz hotkeys?
[18:16] <paulo> ezra-s: thank u
[18:16] <KM0201> paulo: doesn't libre office have a PPA somewhere.. why didn't you use it instead/
[18:16] <Dr_Willis_> eXpLoD:  ive never seen a single list.. many of the plugins have 'duplicate' keybindings.  I would like to see a plugin that just prints out what keys are currently used.
[18:16] <ezra-s> eXistZ, there is a tool called ccsm for that
[18:16] <joeoshawa> just out of curiosity do you have to type peoples names in instead of clicking on them in all xchat versions
[18:16] <xangua> eXpLoD: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager ; you can configure plugins with that
[18:17] <shcherbak> joeoshawa: use <TAB>, like shch<TAB>
[18:17] <Dr_Willis_> joeoshawa:  i cant recall ever clicking on them in xchat. :)  tab key is our friend.
[18:17] <eXpLoD> thanks xangua
[18:17] <Hans_Henrik> have a problem with a laptop, the WinXP installed on it wont boot at all, saying something about "operating system not found", and when i boot Ubuntu LiveCD, it (at first, aparently would not boot), uses 10+ hours on the loading screen to boot, how should i debug this?  ;it finally booted after loading for 10 hours +, ubuntu LiveCD 10.10
[18:18] <ezra-s> paulo, my line was incorrect -> sudo apt-cache search libreoffice | awk '{print $1}' | grep libreoffice | xargs sudo apt-get remove --purge
[18:18] <ezra-s> sorry
[18:18] <Hans_Henrik> my dad suspects it has a harddrive problem and tries "read sector" a million times
[18:18] <joeoshawa> shcherbak, thanks you name click in the other client i used
[18:19] <ezra-s> Hans_Henrik, nothing much to do against a faulty harddrive, that's a hardware problem
[18:19] <Hans_Henrik> ezra-s: but why would LiveCD "try ubuntu" use 10 hours++ to boot?
[18:20] <nabukadnezar43> Hans_Henrik: use that livecd to backup your data
[18:20] <joeoshawa> ezra-s, actually i cannot see it being a hardware problem as that would not affect a live cd not a hdd problem anyway
[18:20] <joeoshawa> Hans_Henrik, what laptop
[18:20] <KM0201> Hans_Henrik: you might have a motherboard problem
[18:21] <Hans_Henrik> joeoshawa: Compaq Presario R3000
[18:21] <joeoshawa> compatability problem memory alot of things
[18:21] <Hans_Henrik> joeoshawa: (really old laptop type)
[18:21] <joeoshawa> eww compaq one sec
[18:22]  * KM0201 had a go-around w/ compaq a long time ago, never again
[18:22] <Dr_Willis_> optical drives and cables and controllers can go bad also. :)
[18:22] <Ginbuntu> hi
[18:22] <Dr_Willis_> had a cut ide cable once. that caused MAJOR problems.. and was just barely noticed..
[18:22]  * Barnabas seconds KM0201's take on Compaq
[18:23] <Ginbuntu> I changed the date on y server but after reboot it goes back to the old setting. :(
[18:23] <Hans_Henrik> bios problem?
[18:23] <eXpLoD> how do i open the cube in compiz?what is the hotkey for it by default?
[18:23] <Hans_Henrik> Ginbuntu: have you the same problem in any other OS'es?
[18:24] <Ginbuntu> Hans_Henrik, It is a Virtual Private Server
[18:24] <joeoshawa> Hans_Henrik, its not that old how much ram do you have in it
[18:26] <google_rules> how to write that search rule for google to find lets say 1 week old stuff
[18:26] <joeoshawa> Hans_Henrik,  the base model has only 256 meg ram you may have a problem with a combination of not enough ram and a corrupted hdd
[18:26] <google_rules> i know all site: commands but i dont know that
[18:27] <joeoshawa> Hans_Henrik,  ubuntu would run ok but running it live would be very very slow
[18:27] <rww> !ot | google_rules
[18:27] <KM0201> 256mb of ram?.. with a live cd?...lol
[18:27] <Hans_Henrik> joeoshawa: hmm well it says 496.1 MiB ram
[18:27] <KM0201> Hans_Henrik: even that really isn't even enough
[18:27] <google_rules> plaaplaaplaa ok i go there
[18:27] <izinucs> I've got a usb headset/mic .. how do I get it recognized and configured?  Looking at "Properties" when right mouse clicking the speaker icon does not show it at all.
[18:27] <KM0201> Hans_Henrik: i believe minimum for a live cd is 1gig
[18:28] <joeoshawa> Hans_Henrik, i would check the hdd for errors and put more ram in it
[18:28] <joeoshawa> you want at least a gig
[18:28] <Hans_Henrik> well, gnome-system-monitor says 209 MB of memory is in use and 0 bytes of swap is activated. the system is responsive.. just extremely slow boot and cant find the harddrive
[18:28] <Hans_Henrik> MiB*
[18:28] <Dr_Willis_> You can use swap partitions with a live cd. :) that can help
[18:29] <joeoshawa> Hans_Henrik, yes but you have ubuntu installed in the ram on a live cd
[18:29] <YeTr2> Hi, I have a laptop infront of me, sony viao VPCEB32FM. while installing, the mouse would not work. now that it's installed, the machine locks up after 2 minutes, never getting to desktop. it fails right after udev finishes doing stuff and the system continues booting
[18:29] <intok> How do I see if my USB IDE controller is actually being seen?
[18:30] <izinucs> intok: sudo lshw in a terminal will give you LOTS of info
[18:30] <Hans_Henrik> joeoshawa: correct i guess, how much it loads from the CD, and how much it has copied to ram, i do not know, but it says it uses 209 MiB (42.1%) of 496.1 MiB, and 0 bytes swap... and it is responsive :p
[18:30] <Kyle__> izinucs: intok: don't forget about dmidecode
[18:30] <izinucs> intok: or if you want to open the output in a file.. sudo lshw > ~/Desktop/lshw.txt
[18:30] <Kyle__> izinucs: intok: that dumps everything as the bios sees it (iirc).
[18:30] <joeoshawa> Hans_Henrik, try gparted and see if it sees your hdd don't do anything tho
[18:31] <izinucs> Kyle__: never heard of that one.. thanks.
[18:31] <joeoshawa> Hans_Henrik, yeah it will run ok live but booting would take for ever
[18:31] <Kyle__> izinucs: It's a little easier to parse with your eyes than lshw or lspci.
[18:31] <Hans_Henrik> joeoshawa: started gparted, waiting for "Scanning all devices"
[18:32] <joeoshawa> let me know if it sees it ubuntu i don't think mounts any drives on a live cd
[18:33] <Brazendude> Hello everyone, when dragging a tab between windows it doesn't pick the window you are hovering above. So, if you have a window partially covering another with multiple tabs you wont be able to place the tab in the middle area.
[18:33] <Hans_Henrik> joeoshawa: i think it mounts any linux-swap space it can find at least...
[18:33] <Brazendude> Any way to fix these issues? Help would be much appreciated.
[18:33] <phsi> How can I make a custom script (in upstart) run something when the very first HDD finished mounting? mountall is too late since it waits for everything to finish mounting.
[18:33] <Brazendude> Dragging a tab in google chrome that is
[18:33] <joeoshawa> probably but do you have a swap partition
[18:34] <MIH1406> Hi,
[18:34] <joeoshawa> windows doesn't use swap
[18:34] <sidewalk> anyone know how to set different wallpapers on different workspaces in gnome?
[18:34] <MIH1406> Can I make XChat to auto identify my nickname?
[18:34] <sidewalk> (without disabling desktop)
[18:34] <area51pilot> is there a way to add "Move To ... " for example: some sort of external media via aright click shortcut menu?
[18:34] <noonian> even if you dont have a swap I think the os can still use a swap file
[18:34] <KM0201> sidewalk: by default, can't be done... i believe there's an add-on application that can do it..
[18:35] <Hans_Henrik> joeoshawa: not afaik. and the laptop's owner wouldn't know :p //he only used XP
[18:35] <Pici> phsi: What are you trying to run if I may ask?
[18:35] <phsi> Pici: preload
[18:35] <sidewalk> KM0201: you know what its called?
[18:35] <joeoshawa> MIH1406, yes
[18:35] <Hans_Henrik> joeoshawa: the owner says "no"
[18:36] <KM0201> sideone: unfortunately i don't... i know if you ahve compiz enabled, there's a setting in there to do it also.
[18:36] <joeoshawa> Hans_Henrik,
[18:36] <Hans_Henrik> joeoshawa: ? :p
[18:37] <joeoshawa> Hans_Henrik, then i don't think it would mount it on the plus side you can still get any data off the drive
[18:37] <joeoshawa> how good it will be is debatable
[18:37] <sidewalk> KM0201: yeah you know how? :-)
[18:37] <phsi> Pici: I mount /home/ via LUKS and during the Passphrase there is nothing going on so preload would be nice since my kernel (mainline) doesn't seem to be aware of ureadahead :<
[18:38] <Pici> phsi: Hrm..  Unforunately thats a bit beyond me, sorry :/
[18:38] <KM0201> sideone: i hate compiz... so no.. :)
[18:38] <Brazendude> Hopefully enough time has passed to post this again: Hello everyone, when dragging a tab between google chorome windows it doesn't pick the window you are hovering above. So, if you have a window partially covering another with multiple tabs you wont be able to place the tab in the middle area.
[18:38] <Brazendude> Any way to fix this issue? Help would be much appreciated.
[18:38] <MIH1406> joeoshawa, how?
[18:38] <joeoshawa> Hans_Henrik, any data written on a bad sector as far as i know is pretty much done for but any still on good parts of the disk is retreavable from the live cd
[18:39] <joeoshawa> mount the drive and copy it off to a usb or other divice
[18:39] <chris_is_me_> area51pilot: you could put a shortcut in the sendto folder
[18:40] <chris_is_me_> area51pilot: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/network/excerpt/winxphacks_chap1/index1.html
[18:40] <joeoshawa> i pulled some movies off a bad disk but a bunch have a big yellow line through them and the rbg is offset
[18:40] <area51pilot> chris_is_me: thx
[18:41] <joeoshawa> kinda looks like 3d lol
[18:41] <frankbro> Anyone have any idea why synaptic want to remove ubuntu-desktop package if I want to install SDL dev libraries?
[18:42] <joeoshawa> umm wow bad don't do that lol
[18:42] <lion881> http://xdccing.com/
[18:42] <joeoshawa> not sure
[18:42] <madjoe> Maybe synaptic has gone mad...
[18:43] <joeoshawa> its joined the mad hatter and the march hair
[18:43] <joeoshawa> don't let it fix your watch
[18:44] <joeoshawa> Hans_Henrik, still not loaded
[18:45] <gomix> hi there... i
[18:45] <Hans_Henrik> joeoshawa: correct.
[18:45] <joeoshawa> hello
[18:45] <gomix> im lookin for the rtl8192ce deb pkg for my ubuntu...
[18:45] <luckernoone> is there  a way to use direct x , or do i have to use opengl for gaming?
[18:45] <Brazendude> I'm going to post, bot don’t get mad at me D: : Hello everyone, when dragging a tab between google chorome windows it doesn't pick the window you are hovering above. So, if you have a window partially covering another with multiple tabs you wont be able to place the tab in the middle area.
[18:45] <gomix> cant find it...
[18:45] <Brazendude> Any way to fix this issue? Help would be much appreciated.:-O
[18:45] <gomix> i need the file... where can i download it?
[18:46] <joeoshawa> Hans_Henrik, let me know when gparted finishes if it sees the drive or not
[18:46] <Hans_Henrik> luckernoone: wine got "experimental" support for DirectX, also VMWare
[18:46] <joeoshawa> good think drives are so cheap now
[18:46] <lion881_> http//xdccing.com/
[18:46] <Pici> lion881_: Er, What are trying to do?
[18:47] <psz> :D
[18:47] <joeoshawa> advertising for xdccing i would assume
[18:47] <luckernoone> Hans_Henrik: thx, will wine evolve that or stay with experimental?
[18:48] <anon33_> When I try to install a package (in this case, ia32-libs), it tells me it has unmet dependencies and won't be installed. The E: is Broken Packages
[18:48] <anon33_> Anyone know whatsup?
[18:48] <joeoshawa> like linux as long as it remains open source it will continue to evolve
[18:49] <joeoshawa> i am sure especially with things like direct x
[18:49] <Hans_Henrik> joeoshawa: last time i checked, it was still being developed and improved. also there is a commercial product simmilar to wine that have much better DirectX support, cant remember the name tho... cedega? something i think
[18:49] <Hans_Henrik> wups that message was meant for luckernoone
[18:49] <luckernoone> joeoshawa: , Hans_Henrik, ok thank u guys
[18:50] <joeoshawa> there are two commercial versions my friend
[18:50] <joeoshawa> your right
[18:50] <joeoshawa> np
[18:50] <maco> Hans_Henrik: not sure it has much better support anymore. Cedega is a fork of a very old version of Wine
[18:50] <joeoshawa> a prime example of how to make money from open source
[18:50] <luckernoone> playonlinux-free , cedega-commercial , what else? joeoshawa
[18:51] <joeoshawa> can't remember i could google it but i don't use wine
[18:51] <joeoshawa> i hate ms products
[18:51] <edwardteach> anon33_,  what package are you installing
[18:51] <joeoshawa> they are not allowed in my home
[18:52] <joeoshawa> except hardware that is
[18:52] <joeoshawa> they have a cheap wireless docking mouse that works amazingly well with ubuntu
[18:52] <luckernoone> joeoshawa: i do as well, but for gaming it is unavoidable
[18:53] <jbwiv_> guys, the volume control in my panel has disappeared. Does anyone know what daemon I have to kill/restart to get it back?
[18:53] <xangua> jbwiv_: add the indicator to the panel
[18:53] <luckernoone> jbwiv_: right click panel and add to panel
[18:53] <jbwiv_> xangua, it's not in the list of items I can add to panel
[18:53] <jbwiv_> at least, I don't see it
[18:54] <joeoshawa> i game but i only play urban terror and the likes at the moment but there is some online roll playing games native to linux as well
[18:54] <noonian> luckernoone, yeah it isnt in that list for me either
[18:54] <joeoshawa> but it is just me use wine till your hearts content it shows developers there is an online gaming community interested in native linux games
[18:54] <mateusz1> hi
[18:55] <joeoshawa> and thank you
[18:55] <jbwiv_> luckernoone, xangua: do you guys see it in your list for "Add to Panel"?
[18:55] <xangua> it is, if you don't see it, put it in the search dialog jbwiv_
[18:55] <luckernoone> noonian: jbwiv_ yes with indicator applet
[18:56] <jbwiv_> luckernoone, xangua: add...didn't realize it was called indicator applet. got it now
[18:56] <jbwiv_> have you guys ever seen things like this mysteriously disappearing from the panel?
[18:56] <joeoshawa> jbsoum, i have but i found out it was my 4 year old trying to play hand play
[18:56] <dzup1> witchcraft?
[18:57] <SilverCore> hey
[18:57] <joeoshawa> she erased my top menu bar
[18:57] <dzup1> heh
[18:57] <joeoshawa> and changed my theme to pink
[18:57] <SilverCore> hey akk
[18:57] <noonian> sometimes my cat walks accross my keyboard or i drop my mouse and it does stuff
[18:57] <SilverCore> lol, why pink?
[18:57] <SilverCore> lol
[18:57] <joeoshawa> she is a 4 year old girl
[18:58] <Ginbuntu> when I ssh to my server I have to wait like 5 seconds before I get the password prompt. any idea why?
[18:58] <joeoshawa> one of the reasons i made her a debian machine lol
[18:58] <zick> hi
[18:58] <joeoshawa> a better question is where the hell did a pink ubuntu theme come from
[18:59] <joeoshawa> does it ship with that its god awful
[18:59] <maco> joeoshawa: you can change the colours very easily
[18:59] <joeoshawa> apparently
[19:00] <joeoshawa> and they say linux is too hard to use
[19:00] <SilverCore> LOL
[19:00] <maco> joeoshawa: clearlooks lets you pick whatever colours you want for titlebars and buttons and general gtk background stuff in the appearance settings
[19:00] <joeoshawa> tell the next person a four year old can do it
[19:00] <zick> someone have nevar installed heartbeat?
[19:00] <maco> joeoshawa: i have a friend whose 4 year old installed it by asking the 7 year old "what do those words say? what do the buttons say?"
[19:00] <joeoshawa> HAHAHAHAHA
[19:01] <SilverCore> "Linux is to hard to use" - Maybe for a 2 years old kid that never saw a computer before
[19:01] <xangua> !ot
[19:01] <noonian> Ginbuntu, that usually has to do with the network the server is on i think and just how long it takes the data to travel
[19:01] <joeoshawa> nope the two year old figured out how to launch amsn and was chatting with uncle pebkac
[19:01] <SilverCore> I've installed "Platinum Arts Sendbox FPS" and since then I can't install or un-install anything at all. I can't even remove it because it stuck at 0% (I tried to reset my computer (of course i'll try -_-), it didn't help either...).
[19:01] <SilverCore> Everything i try to install is getting stuck at 0%!
[19:01] <SilverCore> Help me please.
[19:02] <cryogenfx> hm, i finally managed to install maverick on my main desktop after using the nomodeset option in the installer, but upon booting after install, i am greeted by a garbled colored screen. probably something gfx card related i presume, nvidia card after all. however, unlike other distros i've used, there seems to be no rescue option, or console mode, either from cd or grub menu. what to do now? the machine completely locks up at the gar
[19:02] <cryogenfx> ble, so i can't alt-ctrl f1 either
[19:02] <Ginbuntu> noobuntu, not true, since when logged in, the cli works just like local
[19:02] <SilverCore> I've installed "Platinum Arts Sendbox FPS" and since then I can't install or un-install anything at all. I can't even remove it because it stuck at 0% (I tried to reset my computer (of course i'll try -_-), it didn't help either...).
[19:03] <SilverCore> Everything i try to install is getting stuck at 0%!
[19:03] <SilverCore> Help me please.
[19:03] <maco> cryogenfx: grub should offer a rescue mode. hold shift to get the grub menu
[19:03] <cryogenfx> shift, haha, i tried everything else except shift. silly me, k i'll try that. thanks
[19:03] <SilverCore> xD
[19:03] <joeoshawa> SilverCore, trying to think of where to look first
[19:03] <SilverCore> 0_0
[19:03] <SilverCore> can any one help me?
[19:03] <joeoshawa> sounds like you installed a shady program
[19:04] <SilverCore> nope
[19:04] <SilverCore> it's licensed
[19:04] <SilverCore> not first time installing it
[19:04] <maco> SilverCore: sudo dpkg --purge --force-all package ???
[19:04] <maco> SilverCore: replacing "package" with the one that got stuck
[19:04] <SilverCore> how?
[19:05] <SilverCore> and doesn't purge erases all packages?
[19:05] <maco> SilverCore: just the ones you list...
[19:05] <SilverCore> -_- fail I can't use it, it says that platinumsandbox is corrupted
[19:06] <karlo94> anybody know some program for virtual image installer (so I do not need CD) ?
[19:06] <xangua> karlo94: virtualbox¿
[19:06] <mateusz1> how add another OS to bootloader
[19:06] <SilverCore> DAEMON Tools FOR LiNuX
[19:06] <mateusz1> I have grub2
[19:06] <SilverCore> x_x Does it even exist?
[19:07] <SilverCore> maco
[19:07] <maco> SilverCore: i suppose you could get the list of files in the package (dpkg -c platinumsandbox.deb  ... or whatever the path to the deb is) and delete the files it had installed. then they wouldnt be corrupted anymore...
[19:07] <SilverCore> where can i contact you outside of the irc?
[19:07] <shegman> how can i disable mouse acceleration and enable constant speed instead?
[19:07] <maco> SilverCore: daemon tools is that program for windows where you can mount an ISO as if it were in the CD drive because windows stupidly can't do that itself, right?
[19:07] <joeoshawa> mateusz1,  sudo update grub
[19:07] <maco> SilverCore: if so, linux isnt as stupid :)
[19:08] <SilverCore> true
[19:08] <joeoshawa> mateusz1, sorry  sudo update-grub
[19:08] <karlo94> xangua, I think on something with I can install photoshop image without cd
[19:08] <SilverCore> linux as GOD and Windows is Jesus
[19:08] <zick> someone know heartbeat
[19:08] <SilverCore> xD
[19:08] <SilverCore> is*
[19:08] <joeoshawa> mateusz1, might wanna back up the origional
[19:08] <maco> karlo94: you can just mount the iso
[19:08] <mateusz1> but I have to do update after instalation another system
[19:09] <karlo94> maco, I gonna try that :D
[19:09] <joeoshawa> blashamy windows is junebug

[19:21] <cba123> I've been trying to setup AFP on my server (from these http://www.kremalicious.com/2008/06/ubuntu-as-mac-file-server-and-time-machine-volume/ directions), but I can't connect from my Mac.  It asks for a password, and I've entered the one for the server, as well as the one for the Mac, and still nothing.  Any ideas?
[19:21] <ikonia> TalkSoup: ok, there are some problems there, you have karmic and maverick repos mixed
[19:21] <TalkSoup> yes, i think so also, how can i make it default changes ? or make it work better ?
[19:21] <cba123> I'm running Lucid on the server btw.
[19:21] <ikonia> TalkSoup: youre running maverick ?
[19:21] <TalkSoup> yes
[19:22] <TalkSoup> i think ? i am newbie
[19:22] <TalkSoup> 1 week user
[19:22] <KM0201> TalkSoup: did you upgrade from 9.10 to 10.10?
[19:22] <ikonia> TalkSoup: ok, remove all the PPA's and the karmic lines, then re-run the command sudo apt-get update
[19:22] <TalkSoup> it is 10.10 i think i download from web site of ubuntu 1 week ago
[19:22] <KM0201> hmm
[19:23] <rww> TalkSoup: lsb_release -a in the terminal will tell you which version you're using
[19:23] <TalkSoup> ubuntu 10.10
[19:24] <mrapple> ok i just did sudo swapoff -a then sudo swapon -a and im getting 'swapon: /mnt/2048Mb.swap: stat failed: No such file or directory'
[19:24] <mrapple> uh oh?
[19:25] <ikonia> mrapple: not really, do a "sudo swapon -s" what does it show
[19:25] <mrapple> FilenameTypeSize	Used	Priority

[19:26] <youlun> does anybody whether the version of python in repos is 2.7 or 2.7.1? We're using 2.7.1 in a class i'm taking.
[19:26] <TalkSoup> ikonia i deselected 3 PPA and update again wait
[19:26] <ikonia> mrapple: ok, that means you have a swap line in your /etc/fstab that points at /mnt/2048mb.swap, remove it
[19:26] <mrapple> ok ikonia theres a 2048.swap in /mnt, but no 2048mb.swap
[19:27] <ikonia> mrapple: look in the files /etc/fstab and remove that line
[19:27] <mrapple> ikonia: i changed it to 2048.swap
[19:27] <ikonia> mrapple: or ignore my advice.....and do what you want
[19:27] <ikonia> that works to
[19:27] <rww> mrapple: swap partitions do not have mount points.
[19:27] <mrapple> yay its back on
[19:27] <mrapple> crisis averted
[19:27] <TalkSoup> ikonia after i do what u say, i type update again and it says so http://paste.ubuntu.com/559665
[19:27] <ikonia> there never was a crisis
[19:28] <ikonia> TalkSoup: remove the mediabuntu lines, and re-run
[19:28] <TalkSoup> how i do this ? madiaubuntu lines ? all lines i must deselected ?

Other resolutions work fine. I once knew the solution, but I can't remember it. I had to update some specific package. But which one?

[19:55] <Brazendude> Hello everyone, when dragging tabs between google chrome windows how do I make it so that when I hover with the tab over a window's tab bar, that's under another window, it raises it above?
[19:55] <ikonia> Brazendude: I've not seen that effect, I don't know if it's even possible
[19:55] <Ivan_the_Terribl> Hi guys! How to switch off the touchpad on a laptop? Fn+functional key doesn't work. Or I have to switch it off in BIOS setup?
[19:56] <Fuchs> Ivan_the_Terribl: synclient TouchpadOff=1
[19:56] <Brazendude> ikonia, It seems possible in windows, gimmie a sec to pull up a youtube vid of it.
[19:56] <Fuchs> Ivan_the_Terribl: you can bind this to your Fn Key if it produces a keycode (look with xev)
[19:56] <ikonia> Brazendude: you're not using windows
[19:56] <Brazendude> ikonia, yes, but it seems like a handy feature
[19:57] <Ivan_the_Terribl> Fuchs, thank you!
[19:57] <ThinkPadT42> perhaps I should add that my internal display's native resolution is 1400x1050. I think I remember that the fixed package was some backport from maverick, but perhaps my memory is wrong and that's why I'm stuck.
[19:57] <ikonia> Brazendude: yes but I'm not sure it's possible
[19:57] <brontoeee> bethdo97, what about glxinfo | grep vendor
[19:57] <Brazendude> ikonia, here is a short clip of the effect I mentioned: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIbgCqoeC_Y&feature=player_embedded
[19:58] <Brazendude> ikonia, not possible in ubuntu you mean?
[19:58] <ikonia> Brazendude: I don't need to see it, I know what you mean, but I don't know if it's possible
[19:59] <Brazendude> ikonia, If so it would save me the trouble of trying to figure out how to enable.
[20:00] <ikonia> Brazendude: well, chromes functionality should be cross platform so it should be
[20:00] <bethdo97> no such file or directory.  glxinfo is not installed
[20:00] <bethdo97> should i install it?
[20:01] <Schmorgluck> it's always useful to have handy
[20:01] <brontoeee> bethdo97, hmm, should be installed i think
[20:01] <Brazendude> ikonia, I very much wish it was so, but at least in my system it isn't functional. I've googled everywhere but there ins't many mentions of this.
[20:01] <bethdo97> ok will try
[20:02] <bethdo97> when it asks should it install without verification should the answer be y or N ?
[20:02] <Guildenstern> hi, I'm somehow confused about ubuntus javadoc packages and eclipse

[20:04] <bethdo97> no address associated with host name
[20:04] <Brazendude> ikonia, I like to confirm if at least it's a ubuntu specific behavior. Thank you for your help, I'll pose that question and confirm if it's specific to my system or not.
[20:05] <ikonia> Brazendude: I'm trying to find a reference to the tabs on Linux
[20:05] <ikonia> Brazendude: you may want to be clear in your question it's chrome tabs you want to move, not Linux windows"
[20:05] <brontoeee> mauro_, my italian is lacking, as well as my knowhow about bots here, just ignore me
[20:06] <brontoeee> bethdo97, how about lshw | grep VGA
[20:07] <Brazendude> ikonia, I will. Thanks though, and let me know if you find something. I certainly wasn't able to :/.
[20:07] <mauro_> #ubuntu-it
[20:07] <bethdo97> will check
[20:07] <ikonia> Brazendude: I'm struggling to find something specific

[20:10] <Induane> I am trying to do an install but it doesn't work.  It doesn't list a hard drive for me to partition. Just no hard drive is detected.
[20:11] <Induane> But it is detected in the bios.
[20:11] <Induane> So I booted to the "try ubuntu" thing.
[20:11] <Induane> And it shows the hard drive in disk utility
[20:11] <Induane> so I thought there was soemthing wrong with it
[20:11] <Induane> so I partitioned it in disk utility
[20:11] <Induane> 3 gb swap, and a 76 gb ext4 partition
[20:11] <Induane> but it still isn't listed when I try to install
[20:11] <Induane> smart reports disk is fine
[20:12] <Induane> according to disk-utility
[20:12] <Induane> anyone know why I can't install?

[20:17] <Brazendude> Hello, posting for anyone who can test this really quick: I have a question about tab dragging in Google Chrome. When you drag a chrome tab between windows, and the window you are trying to drag it to is under, does it raise the window or does it stay behind?
[20:17] <izinucs> subcool: not sure you have to ....
[20:18] <stevendepp> pradeep, plenty of things in life, but I thought you had a question to ask?
[20:18] <brontoeee> Brazendude, i dont understand the question, and iam sure iam not alone in that
[20:19] <stevendepp> Brazendude
[20:19] <stevendepp> where to you move your mouse ?
[20:19] <chkdsk> Hey, having a weird problem. I just switched to nautilus and now whenever I try to open any directories using it, it opens that directory once and my home folder 5 times with it. Any way for me to stop it opening multiple times, and only open once?
[20:19] <Brazendude> brontoeee, lol, I was sure it was clear, It's a question about window behaviour in Google chrome or chromium. I wanted to know if tab dragging raised underlying windows.
[20:19] <stevendepp> I think you can just click and keep the tab
[20:20] <stevendepp> then drag it on the other window's button in the lower panel
[20:20] <pradeep> stevendepp, hmm thanks for asking but i come in here to give assitance and also i questions when i get confused too
[20:20] <tjbalistic> I am interested in setting up my ubuntu Remote Desktop so I can access it from my android phone. Is this the right place to get help?
[20:20] <Brazendude> stevendepp, jlower pannel?
[20:20] <stevendepp> that will have the second window resurface and you can then drop the tab
[20:21] <Ivan_the_Terribl> synclient TouchpadOff=1 doesn't seem to work :( .
[20:21] <Induane> :/ rats. I always have the questions no one can answer.
[20:21] <stevendepp> you know, that panel with all the open windows' buttons
[20:21] <Induane> Its a skill I wish I was withouth
[20:21] <Brazendude> stevendepp, ah I see, I don't have the option since I'm using awn. Unless there is a way I wasn't aware of with a docky
[20:21] <stevendepp> try that with awn nonetheless
[20:21] <stevendepp> I would not be surprised if that worked too
[20:22] <stevendepp> (they might as well have foreseen this use)
[20:23] <Brazendude> Ok, it works when hovering other programs in the docky, but haven't found a way to cylcle thourgh windows in the same application.
[20:23] <stevendepp> pradeep, yeah sorry, I rarely come and often forget about being polite myself :p
[20:23] <stevendepp> so I thought you came in and tried to get attention
[20:24] <stevendepp> Brazendude, oh ok, I'll get it a try myself
[20:24] <Brazendude> stevendepp, Ok.
[20:24] <pradeep> stevendepp, no problem lol how long have been using linux?
[20:25] <ikonia> pradeep: stevendepp maybe take your chatter to #ubuntu-offtopic please ?
[20:25] <bethdo97> we are  getting an error - ubi-partman crashed should we quit continue or try again (already retried once
[20:25] <pradeep> ikonia, okay
[20:25] <conorhogan> is ikonia a bot?
[20:25] <ikonia> no
[20:25] <rww> conorhogan: no
[20:25] <w30> chkdsk, just a thought, check system - preferences - Nautilus Actions Configuration tool
[20:25] <conorhogan> k, just checking
[20:26] <bethdo97> what is ubi-partman?
[20:26] <chkdsk> w30, I don't have a Nautilus Actions Configuration tool
[20:26] <brontoeee> bethdo97, sounds like partitioning tool, i thought you have ubuntu installed allready...
[20:26] <bethdo97> we do
[20:27] <bethdo97> it doesn't seem to have installed correctly
[20:28] <chkdsk> w30, I now have nautilus-actions downloaded and installed. What do I need to do to stop this behaviour?
[20:29] <subcool> Ilinucs I'm gonna try another usb linux live
[20:30] <brontoeee> bethdo97, are you attempting some dual-boot or ubuntu only?
[20:31] <bethdo97> ubuntu only
[20:31] <brontoeee> bethdo97, how did you partition the drive(s)?
[20:32] <Brazendude> stevendepp, If I turn off grouping windows in awn preferences, I can sort of achieve window rasinig, but it seems like it works only after jerking the mouse over its icon randomly, and not by simply hovering over it.
[20:32] <bethdo97> thru the ubuntu set up
[20:32] <pita2u1> can anyone help me with compiz?
[20:32] <bethdo97> now we get an authentication error
[20:32] <Brazendude> stevendepp, also by having ungrouped windows it makes a bit messy, almos like it defeats the purpose of a docky.
[20:33] <KM0201> bethdo97: what is ubi-partman ?
[20:33] <brontoeee> bethdo97, to me it sound like a borken install, i'd do a clean reinstall and make sure to wipe the HD clean
[20:33] <anon33_> What's the name of the executable (bin file) for the disk utility applicatoin?
[20:33] <Pici> bethdo97: At what point are you getting an authentication error?
[20:34] <bethdo97> should I do deestop 10.04 instead of 10.10 or netbook 10.10?
[20:34] <w30> chkdsk, any thing configuted to start up? Another idea, run ps and kill the extra Nautilus processes and then log out and log back in.
[20:34] <bethdo97> after we said quit because of the partman error 141
[20:34] <rww> anon33_: /usr/bin/palimpsest
[20:35] <rudy87mn> hello .. i`m havin some problems
[20:35] <rudy87mn> cand somebody help me ?
[20:35] <skiwithpete> Hi can someone help me with cron?
[20:35] <mongy> pita2u1, whats wrong with it.
[20:35] <rww> !ask
[20:35] <KM0201> ask your questions, if someone can help, theywill
[20:35] <ThinkPadT42> exit
[20:35] <subcool> I just tried to do a rescue mode install grub bootloader and got an excuse error 1
[20:35] <chkdsk> w30, does it begin with extra nautilus processes? It's been doing this since I installed arch about a week ago.
[20:35] <brontoeee> chkdsk, the usual: does it happen with other user accounts as well?
[20:35] <anon33_> rww: How the hell am I supposed to figure that out?
[20:35] <Pici> KM0201: ubi-partman is the partitioning tool inside of the Ubuntu live-cd installer
[20:35] <anon33_> rww: What a weird name.
[20:35] <chkdsk> brontoeee, yes all accounts
[20:35] <pita2u1> when I enabled effects like beam up my icons for minimize,maximize, and close disappeared
[20:36] <mongy> pita2u1, you mean the whole top bar
[20:36] <skiwithpete> I'm trying to use cron to complete a task at a specified time, but when I type crontab -e in terminal it says it can't write changes
[20:36] <rww> anon33_: I used packages.ubuntu.com. I think there's a dpkg option to do the same thing. It used to be called palimpsest before it was renamed to gnome-disk-utility, so...
[20:36] <rudy87mn> i have read a tutorial on the romanian forum about installing conky .. after i apt-get install conky i says i must have a file .conkyrc in /home/rudy
[20:36] <rudy87mn> i don`t see any file
[20:36] <pita2u1> umm yes
[20:36] <anon33_> rww: Well, thanks
[20:36] <chkdsk> skiwithpete, I assume this means you need elevated permissions for writing crontab stuff?
[20:36] <Pici> bethdo97: You could either re-parition with another disk, like the gparted livecd, or use the alternate installer iso.
[20:37] <brontoeee> rudy87mn, make one
[20:37] <skiwithpete> chkdsk, you're asking if I did sudo crontab -e
[20:37] <Pici> skiwithpete: Whose crontab are you trying to edit?
[20:37] <skiwithpete> yes I did
[20:37] <rudy87mn> brontoeee:
[20:37] <mongy> !who | pita2u1
[20:37] <rudy87mn> can i create the file from terminal ?
[20:37] <bethdo97> on a laptop with 4gb ram and 500 gb new hard drive should I use netbook or desktop version and should I use version 10.04 or 10.10
[20:37] <skiwithpete> Pici I don't understand the question
[20:37] <brontoeee> rudy87mn, or google for one to get you started
[20:37] <mongy> pita2u1, ok, in compizconfig disable and re-enable the window decoration plugin
[20:37] <rudy87mn> i wil try now.. thanks
[20:38] <Pici> skiwithpete: did you do 'sudo crontab -e' or just 'crontab -e' ?
[20:38] <skiwithpete> Pici, chkdsk basically I have a script I want to run at 2AM everyday
[20:38] <pita2u1> !mongy ok will try that ty
[20:38] <mongy> pita2u1, Ive had it do that, rare, but its happend.. I usually just reload compiz (compiz --replace)
[20:38] <skiwithpete> Pici, I've done both
[20:38] <mongy> pita2u1, mongy without the ! :)
[20:38] <Pici> skiwithpete: and what do the permissions on '/var/spool/cron/crontabs' look like?
[20:39] <pita2u1> mongy: ok got a msg from ubottu
[20:39] <skiwithpete> Pici, how do I find that out?
[20:39] <pietr101> test
[20:39] <chkdsk> How do I set up linux to display Japanese characters?
[20:39] <Pici> skiwithpete: check ls -al /var/spool/cron/
[20:39] <bethdo97> brontoeee  on a laptop with 4gb ram and 500 gb new hard drive should I use netbook or desktop version and should I use version 10.04 or 10.10
[20:39] <Brazendude> I have a question about dragging Google Chrome tabs. When you drag a Chrome tab from one Chrome window to another's tab bar, and the Chrome window you are trying to drag it to is under the the one you took the tab from, does it raise the window or does it stay under? I like to know since it's a behaviour in windows, and it's frustrating me not knowing if it's normal or not.
[20:39] <Rekeri> I just upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 - is there a known issue with 10.10 post-upgrade where it doesn't boot properly?
[20:40] <skiwithpete> Pici, the output says, no crontab for root
[20:40] <mongy> pita2u1, just make sure you add the persons name to your message, then it will highlight for them...its a busy channel
[20:40] <brontoeee> bethdo97, 10.10 desktop (i wouldnt bother with netbook)
[20:40] <Pici> skiwithpete: It shouldn't say anything like that if you do: ls -al /var/spool/cron/
[20:40] <Habitats> i'm trying to install znc on ubuntu, anyone know if they have an irc channel for support?
[20:40] <stevendepp> Brazendude, yeah I cannot have it to work good either, sorry about that
[20:40] <Habitats> or anyone here got a clue?
[20:40] <ikonia> Habitats: not really anything to do with this channel
[20:41] <Habitats> that's why i asked
[20:41] <ikonia> Habitats: ok - so don't ask questions that are nothing to do with this channel please
[20:41] <Pici> Habitats: Are you looking for something beyond apt-get install znc
[20:41] <rww> Habitats: the front page of their website says #znc on EFNet
[20:41] <Brazendude> stevendepp, alright man, thank you very much for the confirmation. It has bothered me greatly and it's good to know if it was just me or not.
[20:41] <Habitats> ikonia read my question before you flame please
[20:41] <skiwithpete> Pici, i lists 4 things - total 12 then drwxr-xr-x 3 root root...
[20:42] <Habitats> oh guess i missed that then rww i'll check, thanks
[20:42] <ikonia> Habitats: I read your questions, this channel is not a directory services for other channels, so as I said "don't ask"
[20:42] <skiwithpete> Pici the 4th link ends in crontabs
[20:42] <Pici> skiwithpete: It should be owned by root:crontab, not root:root.   To fix it, do   sudo chown root:crontab /var/spool/cron/crontabs
[20:43] <apocalyptiq> hi! i have some problem with WIFI on my linux ubuntu, on lenovo r60. since yesterday wifi didn't works on ubuntu, but on windows xp it works ok
[20:43] <Firbewn9>  /j #kubuntu
[20:43] <pradeep> apocalyptiq, lspci then pastebin your result
[20:44] <w30> chkdsk, I am out of any more ideas, sorry
[20:44] <Pici> skiwithpete: Then try using crontab -e   again.
[20:44] <apocalyptiq> but to yesterday, previously it worked, suddenly stopped to work (laptop led with wifi doesn't shine)
[20:44] <skiwithpete> Pici, again, the 4th line reads: drwxr-wx--T 2 root crontab 4096 *tdays date* crontabs
[20:44] <apocalyptiq> pradeep: ok, i will check it

[20:48] <patc> hi! can somebody explain me how to manage the following please? SSH connexion doesn't uncrypt my home -> what's wrong?
[20:48] <subcool> Ok, I think I'm getting there. Hows do I.change grub to fix my boot, I just installed win 7 after ubuntu.
[20:50] <Kroplex> KM0201 are you there?
[20:50] <jymere> hi. I use a ethernet connection in order to go to internet. when i start ubuntu, network manager asks me, what wireless connection I want to connect. But i don't want a wireless connection that's why I would like to prevent network manager from asking me about wireless connection. Is that clear ?
[20:50] <nick_RG4> Phase: what about shutter?
[20:51] <Kroplex> jymere, i dont know a lot about ubuntu but i may be able to help
[20:51] <Kroplex> you are NOT using wireless?
[20:51] <PeterFA> What's the package that provides the perl module Pod::Usage?
[20:51] <jymere> Kroplex: yes I use only an ethernet connection
[20:51] <Phase> nick_RG4: I'll check it out, ty
[20:51] <Kroplex> jymere: right click on your network manager and see if there is a checkbox option for "enable wireless"
[20:51] <nick_RG4> Phase: it's pretty good. Cheers
[20:52] <apocalyptiq> hi, i'm back, hereis my lspci:

[20:52] <subcool> Ok, I'm running into some real issues if anyone wants to help
[20:52] <mongy> patc, explain
[20:52] <jymere> Kroplex: yes I did that at each start. I just want to do that automatically.
[20:52] <PeterFA> apocalyptiq: doing SLI?
[20:52] <apocalyptiq> what?
[20:53] <bethdo97> i am redownloading and reinstalling.  Will check back after it gets done
[20:53] <jymere> to prevent the wireless connecton
[20:53] <patc> mongy: when I log in with SSH on my server (10.04)
[20:53] <PeterFA> "Don't use Enter as punctuation" ahaha
[20:53] <patc> my home is not decrypted (encrypted home)
[20:53] <skiwithpete> Pici you still there?
[20:53] <apocalyptiq> on my ubuntu wifi doesn't works, wifi led doesn'l lighting
[20:53] <mongy> patc, it should, if you enter the right username and password...  I have the same setup
[20:53] <apocalyptiq> but on windows xp it works
[20:53] <patc> I have to "ecryptfs-mount-private"
[20:54] <apocalyptiq> in ubuntu it suddenly stopped to works from yesterday
[20:54] <Kroplex> hmm
[20:54] <patc> mongy:I disabled password authentication forgott to mention I use key authenticaTION
[20:54] <mongy> patc, bingo..
[20:54] <patc> ?
[20:54] <mongy> patc,  doesnt work with key auth.. you still need to enter the password to decrypt
[20:55] <patc> mongy: it should decrypt... as far as I know
[20:55] <pradeep> apocalyptiq, i thought i told to run that command on your terminal
[20:55] <On-The-Fly> again: anyone familiar with apt-pinning?
[20:55] <patc> is it noprmal or is it something that's going to be changed?
[20:55] <mongy> patc, its the password that decrypts it, not the key
[20:55] <apocalyptiq> anybody knows why wifi could stop working on lenovo ibm r60 suddenly?
[20:55] <patc> ok, is there a way to decrypt using the key?
[20:55] <apocalyptiq> it was working for two years, and from yesterday - no
[20:56] <Kroplex> jymere: you might try going to terminal and typing: iwconfig wlan0 down
[20:56] <mongy> patc, thats just how it works.  you can file a bug of request a feature somewhere on launchpad...   is there  a way,, I dont think so..
[20:56] <patc> mongy:a sort of logon script or something?
[20:56] <Kroplex> i dont know if that would do it permanently but it is a start
[20:56] <apocalyptiq> Kroplex - ok, i will check it
[20:56] <Maletor> How can I view errors on the edit get request page without calling validations/
[20:56] <mongy> patc, well you could get the server to autologin your user somehow and then it would work.
[20:57] <patc> ok, I have seen a bug submitted about that, will have a look
[20:57] <rene> que tranza
[20:57] <patc> mongy:thanks for your answering
[20:57] <mongy> patc, np.  if the user is logged in locally then your ssh will work.
[20:58] <Guest47142> hola
[20:58] <patc> mongy:yes I noticed that
[20:58] <Guest47142> hay alguien de mexico por aqui
[20:58] <skiwithpete> Can someone help me with Cron, my helper Pici seems to have disappeared
[20:58] <patc> mongy:i works because of the fact that the home is decrypted with the password... :P

[20:59] <iawe> I want to mount /dev/sda
[21:00] <mongy> patc, I asked it once...which is why I know the answer :)
[21:01] <pietr101> izinucs: i think there is a extension for FF that does it
[21:01] <izinucs> iawe: open partition manager and look there. it should identify it pretty easy.
[21:01] <izinucs> pietr101: thanks..
[21:01] <patc> mongy: oh ok who did you ask? dev team???
[21:01] <patc> mongy:see I am not lone ;)

(no internet) and i don`t understand why .. and how to fix it ..
[21:02] <iawe> thanks izinucs
[21:02] <mongy> patc, its just how encryption works... it needs your password in plain text, not a key
[21:02] <dl2agon> enable it
[21:02] <mongy> patc, I can see how it is like it is.
[21:03] <skiwithpete> chkdsk, are you still there?
[21:04] <KM0201> dirty: it's probably not detecting your wireless device ( i assume you're on another pc right now?)
[21:04] <patc> mongy: OK I understand!
[21:04] <Guest59435> Does anybody knows where is the current WPA Key is stored?? Is it in the Router or is it in a Databank of the Provider????

[21:21] <EnrgySmth> I am making the switch from Fedora to Ubuntu - wanted to ask what everyone thought regarding EXT3, EXT4 or XFS with the current stable builds?  What is best/most stable for the os lv?
[21:21] <goltoof> odd
[21:21] <goltoof> aaanyway..  my cursor won't stop showing the spinning thing and i can't right click on desktop.. how do i kill it?
[21:21] <rww> EnrgySmth: ext4 works fine for me, and is the default in Ubuntu these days.

[21:21] <xangua> goltoof: tryed to restart your session¿
[21:21] <apocalyptiq> besogon: what rfkill block wlan is doing?
[21:21] <burgdorfer> hi there
[21:22] <goltoof> xangua:  i'd prefer not, any other way?
[21:22] <genii-around> goltoof: ctrl-alt-esc     then place cursor on offending app, click
[21:22] <PokerFacePengui1> anybody got a quick regexp or anything that would tell me now much space my .iso files are taking up?  something like a locate *.iso command with totals...
[21:22] <besogon> apocalyptiq: "rfkill block" turns off all wlan on your PC
[21:22] <goltoof> genii-around:  it's actually that way over every app, and can't right click on desktop
[21:22] <apocalyptiq> besogon: but i want actually to turun on my wlan
[21:23] <apocalyptiq> turn on*
[21:23] <goltoof> genii-around:  that's odd, just went away, nvm folks

[21:23] <burgdorfer> I'm having trouble setting up my remote using LIRC for use with XBMC. The IR receiver is detected as an input device by X and the volume and move keys work but nothing else does. Does that have anything to do with lirc's devinput thing?
[21:23] <besogon> then
[21:23] <BootFailure> I'm not spamming.
[21:23] <BootFailure> Those nicks were taken.
[21:23] <genii-around> goltoof: Anyhow, you would in this case click it on the app you used to open the toc file you spoke of earlier
[21:23] <goltoof> xangua:  define session.  if you mean log out and back in i'd preffer not.
[21:23] <EnrgySmth> thanks
[21:24] <BootFailure> My laptop overheated, now Ubuntu won't boot.
[21:24] <goltoof> xangua:  in any case it's all good now
[21:24] <apocalyptiq> ok, brb
[21:24] <Kroplex> besogon: maybe he can try iwconfig wlan0 up ??
[21:24] <BootFailure> it drops to a ash shell
[21:24] <besogon> Kroplex: It won't help if rfkill is working
[21:25] <intok> how do I get Ubuntu to recognize my USB DVD drive: LSHW http://pastebin.com/VpNV6nME
[21:25] <Kroplex> so rfkill overrides iwconfig??
[21:25] <Kroplex> or, that command anyways
[21:25] <besogon> Kroplex: At least I couldn't do it
[21:25] <maco> intok: lshw? does it not show in lsusb?
[21:25] <burgdorfer> GOD THIS CHANNEL IS CROWDED

[21:26] <BootFailure> I did, it didn't work murchadh.
[21:27] <goltoof> all you guys, please stay on topic.
[21:27] <mongy> burgdorfer, I use a remote with mythtv...  first quesion, do you have anything for xbmc in your .lirc/ folder
[21:27] <besogon> burgdorfer: yeap. There is like in a can.
[21:27] <mbeierl> anyone know off the top of your head how to get the Sun Java console to show up with the Sun firefox java plugin?

[21:28] <subcool> Booy loader?
[21:29] <Balmung> can someone help me with grub boot loading configuration the link in the topic and the many tutorials i have read through I cant understand
[21:30] <Balmung> I am a Grub nooby so please be gentle >.<
[21:30] <BootFailure> murchadh: Well, the command doesn't work in initramfs, not sure what else you want me to report?
[21:31] <SirBinks> ok.. I'm still a bit new to ubuntu troubleshooting, since every other install I've done has gone so smoothly that I didn't have to do anything, so forgive me if I'm missing something really obvious here.
[21:31] <SirBinks>  But here's my issue: I've installed 10.04 via wubi, when I try to boot into ubuntu I get no display or sound, the monitor just shuts off. however the HDD is still very active, like in the first minutes of a normal boot. Any ideas?
[21:32] <apocalyptiq> ipconfig wlan0 up is turning on wifi led, but even then wifi doesn't work ;/
[21:32] <goltoof> SirBinks:  off the bat sounds like graphics driver issue
[21:32] <murchadh> BootFailure: I never mentioned initramfs.
[21:32] <bethdo97> after reinstalling I still have problems.  Back to my ever friendly terminal
[21:32] <goltoof> SirBinks:  what's your gpu?
[21:32] <NixGeek> Balmung: this should come in handy (once the forum is up) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275
[21:32] <besogon> apocalyptiq: rfkill man
[21:32] <BootFailure> murchadh: That was my fault, it boots in initramfs and gives me a ash shell.
[21:33] <dl2agon> SirBinks: try generic graphics when i updated mine it did that
[21:33] <SirBinks> goltoof: ati radeon HD 5850
[21:33] <BootFailure> I think it may be a problem with my swap partition?
[21:33] <besogon> apocalyptiq: Stop. Do you use Network manager?
[21:33] <BootFailure> I've read something about that.
[21:33] <apocalyptiq> besogon: rfkill wlan down blocks "ifconfig wlan0 up"
[21:33] <murchadh> BootFailure: But what is the output of startx at an ash prompt?
[21:33] <apocalyptiq> an rfkill unblock wlan unblocks it
[21:33] <apocalyptiq> rfkill block wlan blocks*
[21:33] <chkdsk> How do I set up linux to display Japanese characters? (Sorry, I had to go downstairs and missed any answers to this question earlier"
[21:33] <jon8> Hey guys, using 'tar -cvzf test.tgz directory/'
[21:33] <goltoof> SirBinks:  does it at least show a splash screen? or the blinking cursor before it gets to splash screen?
[21:33] <Balmung> NixGeek what I am curious about is i used the cd /boot/grub/  then  sudo gedit grub.cfg is that even partially correct if  I am wanting to change my default loader and or the time?
[21:34] <BootFailure> murchadh: well, it doesn't find it, I think it's something like "/bin/sh startx not found"
[21:34] <jon8> how can i EASILY include the date into the filename
[21:34] <ikonia> jon8: just save it as the date
[21:34] <SirBinks> goltoof: yeah, it gives me the ubuntu loading screen, then cuts out
[21:34] <besogon> apocalyptiq: If your wlan is turned up?
[21:34] <Balmung> or the timeout choice menu *
[21:34] <llutz> jon8: $(date)-foo.tar.gz
[21:34] <besogon> apocalyptiq: I wanted to say IS ....?
[21:34] <besogon> not if
[21:34] <goltoof> SirBinks:  before or after you attempt to log in?
[21:34] <jon8> ikonia .. wow, thanks i didnt think of that. i was thinking of something that pulls the date in a clean fashion
[21:34] <jon8> llutz, thank you.
[21:34] <murchadh> BootFailure: See if there is a script called /usr/bin/startx
[21:34] <SirBinks> goltoof: before
[21:35] <ikonia> jon8: you need to say what you're doing, using a script, using an application, etc
[21:35] <BootFailure> murchadh: OK, I will do that. Thank you.
[21:35] <apocalyptiq> besagon: yes, its turned up after i call "ifconfig wlan0 up"
[21:35] <NixGeek> Balmung: not at all correct.  don't edit the grub.cfg, edit /etc/default/grub and then run sudo update grub. the time for the entire system should be in the bios setting, and to change your default bootloader, you'd want to overwrite grub
[21:35] <apocalyptiq> but even then on ubuntu wifi doesn't works, only wifi led is on
[21:36] <kelsey> Hello, is this a place for getting help with ubuntu-related problems? ^^;
[21:36] <ikonia> kelsey: sure is
[21:36] <besogon> apocalyptiq: Can you see it in a list of "ifconfig"?
[21:36] <Balmung> NixGeek ok so basically just  cd /etc/default/grub then what should i "gedit" ?  and the update command is "sudo update grub" ? correct, I use this once I have completed editing the file?
[21:37] <murchadh> BootFailure: At your prompt type /usr/bin/startx and it could give you an error on output which may help identify the problem.
[21:37] <goltoof> SirBinks:  yea pretty hard to troubleshoot when you can't get into the gui, a start is to boot up in recovery mode, not so sure where to go from there as of now
[21:37] <kelsey> Awesome! Is there a particular format? Or do I just start complaining =P
[21:37] <apocalyptiq> besagon: hm, in lspci there was an wifi card
[21:37] <goltoof> how do i make a bootable disc from a .bin ?
[21:37] <goltoof> doesn't give option in Startup disc creator
[21:37] <ikonia> kelsey: just ask a question
[21:37] <apocalyptiq> besagon: so ifconfig will also display components of my pc?
[21:37] <besogon> apocalyptiq: If only LED is on an you can see the interface with command "ifconfig -a"
[21:38] <dl2agon> i had to reset my graphics when i updated the radeon 4350 it did same thing i restored to defaults
[21:38] <EnrgySmth> One more file system question - anyone running something besides EXT3 or EXT4, like for performance?
[21:38] <aBz> hey all
[21:38] <besogon> apocalyptiq: no. Ifconfig shows only network interfaces
[21:38] <ikonia> EnrgySmth: for average joe, ext4 will be fastest
[21:38] <goltoof> SirBinks:  just fyi, i used to have your same card.. had heaps of troubles, freezes, etc.. all that disappeared when i switched to nvidia
[21:38] <SirBinks> dl2agon: you mentioned generic graphics drivers, how do I go about using that?
[21:38] <kelsey> I have Ubuntu 9.04, is it possible for me to get GLIBCXX 3.4.11?
[21:39] <NixGeek> Balmung: cd to /etc/default/ using "cd /etc/default/" and the run "sudo gedit grub"   the update command after you finish editing (and save the file) is "sudo update-grub" (with the dash)
[21:39] <besogon> apocalyptiq: make now "rfkill unblock wlan" and see output of ifconfig
[21:39] <ikonia> kelsey: no
[21:39] <dl2agon> SirBinks: goto recovery and pick the generic drivers
[21:39] <kelsey> I need to have, what, 10.04?
[21:39] <dl2agon> recovery boot
[21:39] <ikonia> kelsey: not sure of exact libc -> version mapping
[21:39] <SirBinks> dl2agon: cool, thanks
[21:40] <dl2agon> SirBinks: np i am still learning my self
[21:40] <kelsey> Alright. Well, thanks!
[21:40] <SubCool_> back again-
[21:40] <SirBinks> off I go to try and fix this stupid pile.
[21:40] <SubCool_> ok. can someone please help me with my boot loader..
[21:40] <EnrgySmth> Thanks ikonia
[21:41] <Balmung> NixGeek thanks so much ^.^ I m still learning how all this works, I finally got it installed last night as a dual boot :D
[21:41] <SubCool_> i installed Win7, and was going to follow the guides on howto restore my grub, but .. its not that easy. When i start a kubuntu live USB, i dont have access to mount the original files system
[21:41] <Guigaoff> Boa noite oia eu aki
[21:41] <wwwyzzerdd> my power manager isn't detecting power state. i unplug and have to go to system > preferences > power management to get my laptop to 'see' i'm unplugged. what's going on?
[21:41] <SubCool_> i am now booted into the Win7 partition, trying to make this work SOMEHOW
[21:41] <Kroplex> KM0201 u there?
[21:41] <SubCool_> Cant i indicate to WIn7 that there is a multi boot???
[21:41] <KM0201> Kroplex: yup
[21:42] <Kroplex> mind if i message you?
[21:42] <natrixnatrix89> !ftpd
[21:42] <red2kic> SubCool_: No. Windows does not handle multiple OS, I would think.
[21:42] <NixGeek> Balmung: glad to help, I know the feeling.  I first installed ubuntu beside win7 on a dell computer in march, and now I' ve build a new computer with only ubuntu on it.  After a couple months, the command line and just linux in general is a WHOLE lot easier
[21:43] <red2kic> SubCool_: Use grub. "grub-install /dev/sda"
[21:43] <red2kic> SubCool_: On the LiveCD. :)
[21:43] <SubCool_> thats the problem- i cant..
[21:43] <goltoof> how do i convert .bin to .iso ?   getting nowhere with bchunk
[21:43] <SubCool_> Ill try to burn a liveCD..
[21:43] <Balmung> NixGeek makes me happy to hear that cause that is my setup currently (but i am using hp rather than dell >.< (was cheaper ) )
[21:43] <red2kic> SubCool_: When you're on LiveCD, run "sudo fdisk -l" -- It'll list partitions. Then you install grub on it.
[21:43] <stevieB> how can I connect to a wireless network without using X?
[21:43] <intok> maco it does: http://pastebin.com/ycqPMVEb but no disc will mount, cd, dvd or blank. Same drive on OS X all will mount
[21:44] <SubCool_> red2kic: i cant even do Sudo
[21:44] <NixGeek> Balmung: I got this thing againt hp computers, they're always loaded with crapware...
[21:44] <SubCool_> thats my problem- i am on win7 to Repair my liveUSB
[21:45] <Balmung> NixGeek: yeah I just reformatted mine so i got rid of the crap ware lol (mainly because my first attempt at dual booting failed hardcore style)
[21:46] <mongy> stevieB, iwconfig or use the interfaces file
[21:47] <stevieB> mongy: which file?
[21:47] <AndroUser> hi all
[21:48] <Guybrush88> hi androuse
[21:48] <Guybrush88> *androuser
[21:48] <skiwithpete> Pici, chkdsk, I found the problem it was with the syntax of the command I was passing to cron
[21:48] <Balmung> NixGeek thanks again :D i just restarted and it done exactly what i wanted it to ^.^ thanks
[21:48] <goltoof> how do i convert .bin to .iso ?   getting nowhere with bchunk
[21:48] <mongy> stevieB, /etc/network/interfaces  or use wicd-curses
[21:49] <NixGeek> Balmung: good, the people in ubuntu irc are always happy to help
[21:49] <mongy> stevieB, what type of wifi network is it.   wpa2?
[21:49] <stevieB> mongy: yes
[21:49] <nm5tf> the manual states the using rm -R will remove a directory & all contents-is this for non-write protected files only??-I was trying to delete a game directory & it's contents, but had to remove all write protected files one by one!!! what a big hassle!!
[21:49] <Omega> murchadh: Where is startx again?
[21:49] <mongy> stevieB,  well I can give you mine to work from...  or just use wicd-curses
[21:50] <mongy> stevieB, its wicd but for terminal.. (there is a gui version)
[21:50] <stevieB> mongy: i'd like to see the file
[21:51] <Balmung> ^ . ^ take care everyone!
[21:51] <mongy> stevieB, is yours hidden ?
[21:51] <skiwithpete> so with that checked off - anyone an expert on SMB?
[21:52] <KrashKing> what is the oldest version of Ubuntu that I can still get updates for?
[21:52] <stevieB> mongy: that was in  reply to "i can give you mine.."
[21:52] <mongy> stevieB,  the router, is it set to not broadcast?
[21:52] <murchadh> Omega: /usr/bin/startx. It's a script so you can go through it with a text editor.
[21:52] <KM0201> KrashKing: desktop?
[21:52] <genii-around> KrashKing: Currently, 6.06
[21:52] <skiwithpete> I want to share multiple folders, but the way I tried didn't work
[21:52] <KrashKing> ok, wanted to be sure that wasn't my issue
[21:52] <mshadle> any reason why a stock ubuntu 10.10 x64 install isn't showing a console prompt? all the ttys seem to be running. should there be a tty0?
[21:52] <KM0201> !eol | KrashKing 6.06 desktop is expired
[21:52] <mongy> stevieB, I thought Id save you some trouble and amend what I have, a little...
[21:52] <rww> nm5tf: rm -rf would fix that.
[21:53] <KrashKing> got an older laptop that won't boot off a burned CD, and 6.06 is the only purchased one I have
[21:53] <KrashKing> no USB stick boot either
[21:53] <genii-around> KM0201: The repositories for 6.06 however are still active and updates applied to them for server
[21:53] <KM0201> KrashKing: why won't it boot a burned CD?...
[21:53] <KrashKing> old POS?
[21:53] <KM0201> genii-around: i said that.
[21:53] <nm5tf> rww: thanx, will try that
[21:53] <KM0201> KrashKing: if it will boot a CD you ordered, it will boot a CD you burn yourself (assuming the burn is good)
[21:54] <Omega> murchadh: there is only lib and share under usr
[21:54] <KM0201> KrashKing: when you say "won't boot".. what is it doing, do you get the initial menu, then the boot freezes, or what
[21:54] <goltoof> KrashKing:  be sure to check md5sum of the iso
[21:55] <dl2agon> could be it does not like the media and the thing want to be picky
[21:55] <ragas> how much trouble is it to downgrade php?
[21:55] <KrashKing> KM0201: it gives the menu, I select to install, tries to load, and gives me a blak screen
[21:55] <KrashKing> blank
[21:55] <KrashKing> just a flashing cursor at the top
[21:56] <SubCool_> what win version of IRC do you guys use?
[21:56] <mongy> stevieB, http://paste.ubuntu.com/559712/
[21:56] <KM0201> KrashKing: whats the specs on this "POS" computer?
[21:56] <KrashKing> KM0201: as far as burned disc, it don't like CDRW, and I'm out of CDR

[21:57] <SilverCore> hey, how can i publisher trusted in software center?

[22:01] <guntbert> Gaetan_: it seems that your problem is not ubuntu-related -- try to ask in #httpd please
[22:01] <goltoof> Gaetan_:  try #httpd
[22:01] <rww> Gaetan_: if you're using Pidgin, look in its plugins window. It has a plugin for hiding joins and parts.
[22:01] <guntbert> Gaetan_: you can disable them, what is your client?
[22:02] <Gaetan_> Pidgin
[22:02] <KrashKing> biggest issue I have right now is getting 6.06 updated
[22:02] <tripelb> Gaetan_ I will help you all I can. I'm sort of in the middle - so I remember
[22:02] <SilverCore> hey, how can i make publisher trusted in software center?
[22:02] <KrashKing> I am on the network, can ping other machines, can ging google.com
[22:02] <KrashKing> but all updates fail
[22:03] <guntbert> Gaetan_: see http://wiki.xkcd.com/irc/Hide_join_part_messages#Pidgin.2FGaim
[22:03] <goltoof> whats better than brasero for making an iso image?  considering brasero doens't make iso images but .toc/.bins
[22:03] <tripelb> Gaetan_, I will start a PM (Private Message) to you so I can explain basics that are not #ubuntu)
[22:03] <KM0201> !upgrade | KrashKing it's gonna take forever, but look at EOL upgrades
[22:03] <Gaetan_> Thx
[22:03] <maco> KM0201: 6.06's repos are still around. its supported on server til june
[22:04] <maco> KrashKing: can you ping archive.ubuntu.com?  and is that whats listed in your sources.list?
[22:04] <KM0201> maco: i know that..
[22:04] <rww> KM0201: so it's not EOL, so there's no need to do an EOL upgrade...
[22:04] <IsmAvatar> What does it mean when my hard disk is giving me a bunch of read errors?
[22:04] <KM0201> rww: ok.
[22:04] <SilverCore> hey, how can i make publisher trusted in software center?
[22:04] <KM0201> rww: but desktop is EOL..
[22:04] <KrashKing> i sec maco
[22:05] <cschauer1> .
[22:05] <maco> SilverCore: i dont believe thats somethign YOU do. i think its something decided on the canonical side of things
[22:05] <SilverCore> ok
[22:05] <goltoof> whats better than brasero for making an iso image?  considering brasero doens't make iso images but .toc/.bins
[22:05] <maco> KM0201: but you use the EOL upgrade process to get around the fact that the repos go away when something goes *completely* EOL
[22:05] <KrashKing> maco: yeah, 179ms is the longest reply
[22:05] <rww> KM0201: but the repositories aren't split between desktop and server. the whole repository, desktop section included, is still mirrored. Therefore, you can just use the regular upgrade process.
[22:06] <KrashKing> and where is the sources.list
[22:06] <maco> KrashKing: and /etc/apt/sources.list says archive.ubuntu.com or some other (possibly gone by now?) mirror?
[22:06]  * goltoof starting to wonder if anyone here even knows what an .iso is
[22:06] <KrashKing> 1 sec
[22:07] <dl2agon> intelligent specs operator ?
[22:07] <guntbert> goltoof: be patient please
[22:07] <KrashKing> us.archive.ubuntu.com
[22:07] <gpc> what is the PPA purge command?
[22:07] <rww> dl2agon: What?
[22:07] <rww> gpc: ppa-purge, in the package of the same name
[22:07] <dl2agon> wrong chat
[22:07] <gpc> rww: way to easy, thanks.
[22:08] <KrashKing> maco: you get that?
[22:08] <goltoof> guntbert:  just antsy to make a copy of this cd before days end
[22:08] <murchadh> goltoof: dd if=/dev/cdrom of=~/cdrom_image.iso
[22:09] <IsmAvatar> goltoof: brasero is usually for burning an iso *onto* a cd. To get a cd image into an iso, consider using dd.
[22:09] <spid3rnet> i have scann my ip adresse using nmap so i have foude the port 443 open so my request is on ubuntu firewall is based
[22:09] <goltoof> IsmAvatar, murchadh  sweet, i'll give it a whirl
[22:09] <rww> !ufw | spid3rnet
[22:10] <spid3rnet> rww whqt you meen whit ufw
[22:11] <mun__> hi
[22:11] <murchadh> goltoof: There is also mkisofs (easy to rmember) -o make.iso /out/of/this.file
[22:11] <mun__> does anyone know how to check whether a server has ubuntu 32b or 64b?
[22:11] <aBz> I have a service that another app binds to and it returns a different binder depending on the intent passed (AIDL used). The binder object is a separate class which I pass 'this' (context) into the constructor to access the service methods from withing the Binder.
[22:11] <maco> KrashKing: does "sudo apt-get update" work?
[22:11] <rww> spid3rnet: messages in #ubuntu beginning with ! are generally instructions to the ubottu channel bot to display information. See the message from ubottu.
[22:11] <aBz> when the service unbinds will I be leaking context?
[22:11] <aBz> or does the binder die to?
[22:11] <maco> KrashKing: have you done that or only tried "sudo apt-get upgrade"? if the latter, then maybe it was just looking for oooold updates
[22:11] <rww> mun__: uname -a. if it says i686 near the end, it's 32bit
[22:11] <mun__> rww, what would 64b say?
[22:12] <rww> mun__: amd64 or x86_64, I forget which
[22:12] <KrashKing> ok, error
[22:12] <mun__> i see
[22:12] <mun__> thanks
[22:12] <KrashKing> unable to lock admin directory
[22:12] <KrashKing> had to close the update manager
[22:12] <rww> ah, x86_64
[22:12] <goltoof> i got cdrom1 and cdrw, dvd1 dvdrw1.. but only one cd drive.. how do i tell which is associated /actually contains the cd?
[22:13] <KrashKing> should have thought to use the CLI
[22:13] <IsmAvatar> Help? My HD is just giving me a bunch of Read Errors... makes it kinda hard to boot.
[22:13] <pdlnhrd> i am trying to do an upgrade..... i am getting an error about dependency conflicts... does anyone know how to fix them?
[22:13] <murchadh> goltoof: ls /dev/cdrom, etc until you hit the jackpot.
[22:14] <dreamer000> see u on c++
[22:14] <goltoof> murchadh:  not helping
[22:15] <dreamer000> there are kinds of hardware failure....
[22:15] <ZykoticK9> goltoof, you could try "eject /dev/cdrom" and replace cdrom with the various options
[22:16] <alesan> hi how can I do that everytime the computer is turned on a script is executed in the background? without having a specific user to login
[22:16] <goltoof> hmm.. no other more straight forward way?  why wouldn't it show in mount?
[22:16] <goltoof> oh nvm... it's in /dev/sr0
[22:16] <Lisa3> goltoof: try K3b
[22:16] <goltoof> Lisa3:  actually a bad idea for ubuntu
[22:16] <murchadh> goltoof: Is there a disk in the drive? Type mount to see what drives are mounted. then - ls mountpoint should list files on the cd.
[22:17] <goltoof> murchadh:  yes got it, thx
[22:17] <Jordan_U> goltoof: "mount" will tell you all mounted filesystems and their mountpoints.
[22:17] <KrashKing> thanks maco
[22:17] <Encry9> is there another way to edit cron? crontab -e is empty but i know there's stuff in there because i can see it in Gnome-Schedule
[22:17] <subcool> ok- Lil help with bootloader. Im back..
[22:17] <subcool> futher than i was last time.
[22:18] <goltoof> Lisa3: k3b is a KDE app so will need tons of Qt packages to run as  well as the packages they need and so on.  This adds a ton of  extra data to your OS  and for something as trivial as a CD burner
[22:18] <subcool> Im on ubuntu LiveUSB - 10.04.1 (its pretty nice), But, i followd help from someone, and its not entirely working out.
[22:18] <spid3rnet> rww nothing amporatant on this page

[22:19] <Jordan_U> subcool: Follow this guide: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide
[22:19] <Lisa3> goltoof: that may be, but I have never had problems with it that I have had with Brasero
[22:19] <subcool> guide hasnt been working out for me very well
[22:19] <GatorAlli> What is the best way to recover overwritten data, I accidentally overwrote some scripts a couple of minutes ago. Please help :(

[22:32] <subcool> aside from not being able to open grub, can someone HELP
[22:32] <KrashKing> Tomasso: I think that there is a thumbdrive install
[22:32] <goltoof> Tomasso:  ubuntu website gives detailed instructions how to make bootable pendrive

[22:34] <subcool> Make sure you edit the /etc/default/grub file (only if you know what you are doing!) to your liking then run the following command, <<<<<<<<< What kinda instructions are those!?1/1/!
[22:34] <Tomasso> cooool :D
[22:34] <tomo> question
[22:35] <goltoof> Tomasso:  yeah i love it, i keep one on my keychain
[22:35] <dani__> is there any way to change eye of gnome to sort my files by modified date instead of sorting them alphabetically? this is a great annoyance for me.
[22:35] <Jordan_U> subcool: You don't need to edit /etc/default/grub
[22:35] <Ed_Money> I have a file with one item per line, and I'm trying to append each item to the end of a URL and call wget with the URL+item for each item and then save the wget result plus the item to file. How can I do this from the command line?
[22:36] <subcool> Jordan_U:  ?? ok
[22:36] <intok> So how do I get this damn USB DVD drive to mount? lsusb, lshw, lspci see it, it works fine on the ancient Mac, but on Ubuntu it says it can't see it due to something not being in /etc/fstab or /etc/mstab
[22:36] <tomo> i have a problem with clickpad on my netbook. is there a fix by ubuntu?
[22:37] <sdubois> i'm only getting around 5 MB/s transfer speed on my USB2 slot, is this usual?
[22:37] <guntbert> Ed_Money: try to ask in #bash
[22:37] <dl2agon> intok: have you tried system>administration disk util
[22:37] <dl2agon> there should be a mount button there
[22:38] <dl2agon> intok: not a linux user still learning but thats where i mounted one of my drives
[22:39] <victorhugo289> hello
[22:40] <dl2agon> hello victorhugo289
[22:40] <victorhugo289> Hello Dl2agon
[22:41] <soredz> q
[22:41] <chazbrown> wow fedora channel is lame
[22:41] <chazbrown> they just kicked me becaus ei was there to help ppl
[22:41] <subcool> rebooting- lets see whats up
[22:42] <soredz> quit
[22:42] <subcool> [22:42] <so_solid_moo> did that really warrant a kick? [22:42] <subcool> what happen? [22:42] <DiscordianUK> yes
[22:42] <guntbert> !ot | chazbrown
[22:42] <dani__> anyone know how to change eye of gnome settings so it would sort my pictures by modified date and not alphabetically?
[22:43] <subcool> lol- discordian is a D*ck
[22:43] <guntbert> subcool: please keep to the topic
[22:43] <rww> no need to spread #fedora drama here, thanks.
[22:44] <KrashKing> wow, apt-get update/upgrade is nearing 30 mins running
[22:44] <subcool> sorry, i forgot how u guys get
[22:44] <subcool> bbl, doing a reboot
[22:45] <KrashKing> ok, question
[22:45] <KrashKing> if I have a CDRW of Lubuntu burned, how would I install over 6.06 Ubuntu?
[22:45] <izinucs> KrashKing: do you have a separate /home partition?
[22:46] <KrashKing> no
[22:46] <izinucs> KrashKing: do you want to keep your data? and if so do you have another drive (internal or external?)
[22:46] <KrashKing> nothing to save
[22:47] <guntbert> !who | KrashKing
[22:47] <victorhugo289> Maybe Krashing wants to keep all his programs.
[22:47] <izinucs> KrashKing: ok.. then it's easy.. put the disk in and install.. you'll loose everything though.
[22:47] <KrashKing> bah ubottu ;)
[22:48] <subcool> Thanks jordan
[22:48] <izinucs> KrashKing: that's why it's recommended to at minimum have a separate partiton for /home.. on reinstall you can do that by using the manual partitioning portion of the install routine.
[22:48] <victorhugo289> I figured this out, Ubuntu keeps programs in root, it only keeps settings and look in /HOMe
[22:48] <KrashKing> izinucs: not an issue right now
[22:48] <KrashKing> izinucs: fresh install
[22:48] <victorhugo289> That sucks, a little bit, idk.
[22:48] <izinucs> KrashKing: perfect time to do it.
[22:49] <KrashKing> izinucs: should it install from the desktop?
[22:49] <chazbrown> KrasgKing you can copy the image.vmz files to your boot and use a live CD to install from the HD via grup
[22:49] <chazbrown> err grub
[22:49] <izinucs> KrashKing: from the live desktop? sure.. how big is your drive?
[22:49] <KrashKing> izinucs: not live desktop
[22:50] <KrashKing> izinucs: and it is a 20gb drive
[22:50] <intok> dl2agon not seeing any mount button, but it seems to see the disc, but it wont let me do anything with it. Tried adding /dev/sr0 to the fstab and mstab which disk util and lshw say the drive is. Now sudo mount /dev/sr0 doesn't say it can't find it in the stab files but now that there is no mount point for the DVD
[22:50] <izinucs> KrashKing: how do you mean.. an .iso saved on your harddrive?
[22:50] <KrashKing> izinucs: no burned it to a cdrw
[22:51] <chazbrown> just boot from it then?
[22:51] <izinucs> KrashKing: oh.. that's fine.. see if the machine will boot to it. If it does follow the prompts.. and with 20gb of HD space I wouldn't worry about a separate partition.
[22:51] <KrashKing> izinucs: won't boot from a cdrw, machine too old
[22:52] <rhkfin> I mounted (-t cifs) two network storages on my desktop machine. Then I tried to rsync -a a folder from one to another. It started OK, but then started to give error: rsync: failed to set times on /dlink/My Pictures/02-2008/01-2007/01-2007/01-2007/01-2007/01-2007/01-2007 etcetcetc. (no, I don't have this structure on the source disk) du -hs shows file size is 0. rm -rf is at least very slow, if it can do anything. Any pointers what could be wrong and ...
[22:52] <izinucs> KrashKing: hummmm... got another machine?
[22:52] <rhkfin> ... what should I now do?
[22:52] <chazbrown> @KrashKing http://www.instantfundas.com/2007/08/install-any-linux-distro-directly-from.html
[22:52] <chazbrown> Do that, i have done that before.
[22:52] <chazbrown> it works fine
[22:52] <KrashKing> thanks chazbrown
[22:52] <chazbrown> NP
[22:52] <izinucs> KrashKing: there's the answer.. cool chazbrown
[22:53] <chazbrown> @KrashKing you just copy two files to /boot then add a line to grub and it will add a menu item for you
[22:53] <chazbrown> The rest is pulled from the mounted ISO
[22:53] <chazbrown> Or the extracted iso whatever
[22:53] <DpinkyandDbrain_> hello all
[22:54] <KM0201> chazbrown: does that actually work?
[22:54] <Atrophy6> Hi folks, I need some help. I want to reformat, but retain all of the changes I've made to Ubuntu over the last year. What is the best way to image my data to do so?
[22:54] <chazbrown> Yeah i did it just the other day.
[22:54] <chazbrown> It works fine.
[22:54] <DpinkyandDbrain_> can anyone answer questions about installing with nvidia graphic cards
[22:54] <chazbrown> I did it with fedora 14.
[22:54] <KM0201> hmm
[22:54] <chazbrown> ??
[22:54] <chazbrown> Why wouldnt that work?
[22:54] <mellin> DpinkyandDbrain_: What question?
[22:55] <DpinkyandDbrain_> well i install ubuntu fine after using the live cd after fiddling with it do nomodeset is x'ed
[22:55] <chazbrown> @DpinkandDbrain_ i recommend downloading the binary and compiling it yourself with X closed... The actual install Ubuntu gave me broke my X
[22:55] <KM0201> DpinkyandDbrain_: which nvidia device?.. and did you install the driver for it in system/admin/additional drivers?
[22:55] <solexious> Each time my system starts I seem to have no window manager till I set my appreance settings back from none to extra, them my title bars and max min close buttons reappear
[22:56] <KM0201> chazbrown: i've used the ubuntu driver for going on... 5-6yrs? no problems
[22:56] <mellin> DpinkyandDbrain_: I did not have that issue whatsoever
[22:56] <DpinkyandDbrain_> ai have a geforce 240
[22:56] <dl2agon> sorry was eating  click on the drive and under volumes upi should see mount click it
[22:56] <chazbrown> @KM0201 well i had problems, os i recommend compiling it since it did not detect my PCI device. Do you mean nouveau or the ones from apt-get?
[22:57] <mellin> DpinkyandDbrain_: Ok then you should get an icon telling you there is a an updated proprietary driver. Just install it.
[22:57] <KM0201> chazbrown: i mean i just enabled the driver in system/admin/additional drivers, like i've done since 6.06, no problems at all.
[22:57] <DpinkyandDbrain_> mellin it gives me the choice to install nvidia drivers in the live cd but i have to restart for it to take effect
[22:57] <chazbrown> @KM0201 oh yeah that works fine.
[22:57] <blablotin> Good morning, I have Ubuntu lucid and have VLC. I tried to record a TV program with VLC, in ogg theora vorbis, but I notice that when I try to read the media with totem, VLC, Mplayer: same probleme: video go 3 times quicker than the sound: why? How can I mende this file? (watch this programe is for me the play of life or die
[22:57] <DpinkyandDbrain_> but when i restart i get the same snowy screen
[22:57] <blablotin> exemple of this fail: http://www.mediafire.com/?mv4jj8cghpt0tpv
[22:58] <VCoolio> DpinkyandDbrain_: you can't install and reboot the livecd, it will be back on default livecd; install ubuntu, then install whatever you like
[22:58] <mellin> DpinkyandDbrain_: OK then when you get to the grub boot menu hit e on the keyboard. Then add nomodeset to the line about splash boot with a space. This will get you into Ubuntu
[22:59] <mellin> DpinkyandDbrain_: Then if you can't get "startx" to get x/gnome started up just use apt-get install nvidia_blah
[23:00] <dl2agon> intok: did you get the pm
[23:00] <pdlnhrd> i am trying to upgrade my ubuntu and it is giving me an error saying i have conflicts and this is the output of my apt.log file but do not know how to fix it  http://paste.ubuntu.com/559728/

[23:02] <qls> hello
[23:02] <leapy0yo> hi
[23:02] <izinucs> pdlnhrd: do you have an Nvidia driver installed that you got direct from the nvidia site?
[23:02] <leapy0yo> is there a way i can install a set of programs using aptitude and a wildcard?
[23:02] <wasabi> Howdy. 'ufw' have a way to set up rules for stuff traversing interfaces yet?
[23:03] <wasabi> routers.
[23:03] <wasabi> Other than stuffing stuff into the iptables load thing manually.
[23:03] <pdlnhrd> izinucs:  i do not believe so, but i could be wrong is there a way to tell?
[23:03] <qls> anybody got world of tanks to work in wine?
[23:03] <|Kellan|> Hello All. I created a directory /srv/www I set ownership to www-data:webdev and chmod to 775 my useraccount is a member of webdev but I can not write to the directory
[23:03] <izinucs> pdlnhrd: probably but I don't know the command.. hopefully someone else here will.
[23:04] <chazbrown> @|Kellan| what user are you logged in with?
[23:04] <izinucs> |Kellan|: you might have to log out and back in again.
[23:04] <chazbrown> @|Kellan| you cannot write to it? Or apache cannot write to it?
[23:04] <|Kellan|> I am logged in with my useraccount kellan
[23:04] <|Kellan|> chazbrown: I can not write to it... ie I cant do a touch test
[23:04] <chazbrown> What are the permissions on it?
[23:05] <chazbrown> Oh i see.
[23:05] <chazbrown> Try logging in and out of the user like IZ said.
[23:05] <chazbrown> Then let us know what id username says.
[23:05] <|Kellan|> ok I will try that
[23:06] <chazbrown> It will say the groups the user is a part of.
[23:06] <chazbrown> id (username)
[23:06] <goltoof> ** (gnome-panel:6452): WARNING **: Could not connect to session manager: Could not get owner of name 'org.gnome.SessionManager': no such name
[23:06] <goltoof> what that mean?
[23:06] <KrashKing> chazbrown: would I be better transfering the ISO iver?
[23:07] <KrashKing> over

[23:10] <vavincavent> hi all
[23:10] <nexeh> hey vavinvavent
[23:10] <vavincavent> i'm searching for compilation of module
[23:11] <vavincavent> what the difference between .o and .ko files?
[23:12] <vavincavent> by default i have cdc-acm.ko module and after compilation, i have cdc-acm.o file.
[23:12] <KrashKing> should I do the upgrade from 6.06 to 8.04.1 throught he update manager?
[23:12] <nexeh> im guessing but sounds like your ko is a source file and the .o is your binary.. maybe o stands for object?
[23:13] <maco> nexeh: yes, o is object
[23:13] <nexeh> KrashKing: Sure, why not
[23:13] <KrashKing> heh
[23:13] <maco> KrashKing: sure, or "sudo do-release-upgrade" -- same thing. dont just change sources.list and run apt-get dist-upgrade though.
[23:13] <genii-around> KrashKing: That's probably the safest method
[23:14] <vavincavent> i have compiled cdc-acm.o, can i replace cdc-acm.ko by this file?
[23:15] <KrashKing> maco: "sudo do-release-upgrade"?
[23:15] <nexeh> what language is this btw?
[23:15] <KrashKing> maco: command not found
[23:15] <maco> KrashKing: hrmm must have added it later then. its what you use on servers since they dont have update-manager
[23:15] <nexeh> suod apt-get do-release-upgrade
[23:15] <maco> nexeh: no
[23:15] <KrashKing> ah
[23:15] <KrashKing> k
[23:15] <maco> KrashKing: use the update manager then
[23:16] <Action23rus> OMG! it is Ubuntu chanel!!!
[23:16] <Action23rus> I use it 4 years!
[23:16] <KrashKing> thanks maco
[23:18] <nexeh> ok well im out.. anyone got any suggestions where i can find some help other than this irc? is there a ubunutu sound problem irc?
[23:22] <izinucs> does locate work recursively by itself?  I'm "locate *pdf" and coming up with only 2 files when I know there's close to a hundred
[23:23] <maco> izinucs: it works off a database.
[23:23] <maco> izinucs: sudo updatedb
[23:23] <izinucs> maco: did that already.. always do just before using locate.

[23:29] <Guest19278> i am trying to get skype to work. the test for voice seems to fail. in my search of the web i found that i have to install some software. which one of these should i use?aumix, kmix or gnome-volume-applet
[23:29] <izinucs> Guest19278: you running gnome or kde?
[23:29] <MTecknology> Is there any way to download a PDF and then type info into it before I print it?
[23:29] <Guest19278> gnome
[23:30] <Guest19278> izinucs, gnome
[23:30] <izinucs> Guest19278: open a terminal and type alsamixer .. it has an ncurses interface
[23:30] <Guest19278> izinucs, ok
[23:30] <MTecknology> Guest19278: I had such bad luck with skype that I installed a small windows partition for just that..
[23:30] <neyhay> http://paste.ubuntu.com/557401/  Can somebody decipher this Testdisk log and tell me what these errors mean?
[23:34] <Guest19278> izinucs, where to get a how to guide?
[23:34] <natia> For the netbook i want to find the web cam and have it conect with cheese photo both how do i do that?
[23:34] <natia> For the netbook i want to find the web cam and have it conect with cheese photo both how do i do that?
[23:35] <murchadh> izinucs: check in /etc/updatedb.conf to see what its pruning. Might be excluding external drives, ntfs drives. Just a thought.
[23:36] <jetboyjetgirl> any ideas of where to start if a USB device (sansa fuze mp3 player) is not showing up/being detected in Ubuntu 10.10?
[23:36] <jetboyjetgirl> supported USB device*
[23:37] <eggie5> hi I'm looking on this page http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ for a distro for an intel 64bit but I can only see amd 64. How can I get a intel 64 bit distro?
[23:37] <murchadh> jetboyjetgirl: ls /dev/sd and tab to list devices. Should see like /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2, etc. You could be /dev/sdb1 or some such.
[23:37] <charred> eggie5: it doesn't matter, amd64 will work
[23:37] <eggie5> charred: ha really?
[23:38] <murchadh> jetboyjetgirl: lsusb also useful.
[23:38] <charred> eggie5: yeah it's just a naming thing
[23:38] <eggie5> charred: ok! EM64T
[23:39] <charred> I think amd originally created the specification so they call it amd64, but it will work on your intel
[23:40] <jetboyjetgirl> cool, thanks murchadh :-)

[23:47] <Tomasso> is there some way to join 2 partitions ? for example to put all contents from one partition into a dir of the joined 2?
[23:47] <maco> Tomasso: bind mount
[23:48] <maco> Tomasso: actually no sorry, normal mount
[23:48] <chazbrown> @juk use vi
[23:48] <maco> Tomasso: sudo mount /dev/sda2 /home/user/stuff
[23:48] <chazbrown> @juk http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2312
[23:48] <pooky> [thor]: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/134382/Screenshot.png
[23:50] <[thor]> pooky: nice
[23:50] <juk> chazbrown: nano had it builtin i remember
[23:50] <pooky> using default gnome+metacity
[23:50] <neyhay> http://paste.ubuntu.com/557401/ Can somebody decipher this Testdisk log and tell me what these errors mean?
[23:51] <pooky> [thor]: I made a theme with no titlebar and just move windows using keyboard so it looks and behaves like a tiling wm, but uses the ubuntu default desktop apps
[23:51] <pooky> [thor]: except for vimprobable :P
[23:51] <shaggy2> ok so I am needing to change how long it takes for bind9 to reliase that there is a new domain/subdomain. I am running ubuntu 10.10 I created a subdomain last night and the new subdomain didn't work for about 9 - 12 hours
[23:51] <jon8> i accidently created a file called -test.tgz ------ Doing rm -rf '\-test.tgz' .. rm -rf "\-test.tgz" ... can't get this file removed.
[23:51] <chazbrown> @neyhey those look just like warnings, are you having an issue?
[23:52] <shaggy2> how do I change the time it takes>
[23:52] <chazbrown> @neyhay i dont see any errors on that, only warnings...
[23:52] <[thor]> pooky: yeah, my foray into the transparent/decoration free terminal was my first. compiz, and gnome-terminal make it very easy!
[23:53] <neyhay> chazbrown: yes, it used to be ext4 but it doesn't mount and shows up as 'unknown' in gparted.  I can't get at my files
[23:53] <juk> chazbrown: ok, so how to use it plugin i downloaded
[23:53] <phillyj> how can i see all the pkgs i have installed and their respective sizes?
[23:53] <[thor]> pooky: alt-click in a window to move as well, yes?
[23:53] <badger32d> jon8, can you mv -test.tgz to test.txt, then rm test.tgz?
[23:53] <chazbrown> @juk does it have a readme?
[23:54] <badger32d> jon8, that may help with your wierd - issue
[23:54] <juk> no
[23:54] <chazbrown> @juk http://www.installationwiki.org/Installing_Vim_Scripts
[23:54] <chazbrown> @juk i found that by searching, installing vim scripts, on google
[23:54] <shaggy2> ok so I am needing to change how long it takes for bind9 to reliase that there is a new domain/subdomain. I am running ubuntu 10.10 I created a subdomain last night and the new subdomain didn't work for about 9 - 12 hours. how do I shorten that time?
[23:54] <juk> chazbrown: ok
[23:55] <jon8> badger32d, i got it.. rm -i -- "-test.tgz"
[23:55] <jon8> :D
[23:55] <chazbrown> @neyhay sorry i am not so good with stuff like that...
[23:55] <badger32d> neyhay, are you talking about your /dev/sdb not showing up / used to be ext4?
[23:55] <pooky> [thor]: mapped to the window key, but yeah
[23:55] <badger32d> jon8, right on
[23:55] <[thor]> :D
[23:55] <pooky> [thor]: I also run pywo in the bg
[23:55] <zatan> hi i am getting random errors on music players  : GStreamer resource error: Failed can anyone help with this ?
[23:56] <neyhay> badger32d: yes, that's exactly it
[23:56] <jon8> badger32d for future..
[23:56] <jon8>        To remove a file whose name starts with a `-', for example `-foo', use one of these commands:
[23:56] <jon8>               rm -- -foo
[23:56] <jon8> :D
[23:56] <FloodBot2> jon8: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:56] <badger32d> neyhay, it seems testdisk thinks your /dev/sdb is fat, if I remember correctly testdisk allows you to set what filesystem you are looking for, did you try again using ext?
[23:57] <badger32d> jon8, good to know
[23:57] <DpinkyandDbrain> what if grub never comes up how do i get to the grub menu?
[23:57] <neyhay> badger32d: I haven't, I'll try it again
[23:57] <bazhang> DpinkyandDbrain, hold shift at boot
[23:57] <elitedev> DpinkyandDbrain: hold shift
[23:57] <chazbrown> nice i didnt know that
[23:58] <[thor]> pooky: looks interesting, i will be sure to check this out!
[23:58] <badger32d> neyhay, yeah - lemme know what you come up with
[23:58] <DpinkyandDbrain> how do you set nomodeset in grub?
[23:59] <p1und3r> does anyone know what happened to linux-alsa-driver-modules-generic-2.6.35-25? it's not made yet??
[23:59] <pooky> [thor]: probably as close as you can get to a tiling wm without using one. Also note you can get a lot of this same stuff by using pywo
[23:59] <pooky> [thor]: err, devilspie
[23:59] <intok> How can I rip an uncompressed DVD .iso?
[23:59] <neyhay> badger32d: could take a while... I don't recall seeing that option the first time, but it's running again
[23:59] <pooky> [thor]: but I like the whole hiding of elements to be done using a theme
[23:59] <juk> chazbrown: funny, it's nano -i :)
