[02:29] <co_cr_pcr> does anyone have complete guide 'shell'?
[02:31] <nit-wit> co_cr_pcr, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[02:32] <co_cr_pcr> thank you
[02:33] <nit-wit> co_cr_pcr, sure, it is sort of a learn as you go for me.
[05:12] <MrAnthrope> I'm trying to play a game that requires a CD be in the drive, but I don't have the physical CD with me. I mounted an image to the mnt folder and it's in there but the game is still saying there's no cd.
[05:12] <MrAnthrope> I just put it all directly in /mnt/ should it be in a folder or something?
[05:13] <MrAnthrope> actually it's telling me there is no drive, much less a DVD.
[05:15] <MrAnthrope> How do I un-mount the files?
[05:15] <holstein> umount
[05:15] <holstein> might not work
[05:15] <holstein> depends on what the software is looking for
[05:16] <amn3z1a> new install of ubuntu, wont let me connect to internet. any suggestions?
[05:16] <holstein> amn3z1a: wired? wireless?
[05:16] <amn3z1a> both
[05:16] <amn3z1a> available
[05:17] <holstein> so, its hooked up wired?
[05:17] <holstein> when you boot?
[05:17] <amn3z1a> yes
[05:17] <holstein> and no dice?
[05:17] <holstein> whats it hooked up to?
[05:17] <holstein> a router?
[05:17] <amn3z1a> but it does not see an active wired connection
[05:17] <amn3z1a> yes
[05:18] <amn3z1a> it sees wireless connection, but not the wired
[05:18] <holstein> connect tot he wireless connection then
[05:18] <amn3z1a> does not connect to either
[05:18] <amn3z1a> got it set to DHCP
[05:18] <holstein> what is the error with the wireless?
[05:18] <amn3z1a> it asks for DHCP client ID
[05:19] <holstein> not sure how you have your router configured
[05:19] <holstein> but you might want to look at that
[05:20] <amn3z1a> it connected when i was running ubuntu off the cd, but now that it has been actually installed, it does not want to connect
[05:20] <holstein> amn3z1a: not sure what to tell you
[05:20] <holstein> i dont get a 'DHCP client ID' prompt
[05:20] <holstein> never seen a prompt like that
[05:21] <holstein> i was assuming it had something to do with the router config
[05:21] <holstein> amn3z1a: you got wireless working live?
[05:21] <amn3z1a> on wireless with laptop... trying to get desktop to connect
[05:21] <holstein> from a live CD
[05:21] <holstein> using the laptop
[05:22] <holstein> prior to installation
[05:22] <amn3z1a> laptop on W7
[05:22] <holstein> you got wireless working?
[05:22] <holstein> OR was that wired?
[05:22] <holstein> O I C
[05:22] <amn3z1a> desktop normally connected to wired, its a gaming rig
[05:22] <amn3z1a> but has a wireless adapter that was working just fine
[05:23] <holstein> amn3z1a: 10.10?
[05:23] <holstein> i would open a terminal
[05:23] <holstein> run lspci
[05:23] <amn3z1a> 192.168
[05:23] <holstein> paste that in pastebin
[05:23] <holstein> and maybe someone will come along
[05:23] <holstein> with that hardware
[05:24] <amn3z1a> with no net i cannot paste to pastebin
[05:24] <holstein> sounds like the wired device may not be supported
[05:24] <holstein> you have a USB stick?
[05:24] <amn3z1a> it SEES the wireless networks available, it just wont connect
[05:24] <holstein> you dont need all of lspci
[05:24] <holstein> anyways
[05:24] <holstein> just the network adapter
[05:24] <holstein> amn3z1a: is this 10.10?
[05:24] <holstein> 10.04?
[05:25] <amn3z1a> i was connected 10 hours ago, running off the cd. then i installed ubuntu and it won't connect to anything
[05:25] <holstein> right
[05:25] <holstein> i hear you
[05:25] <holstein> was this a 10.10 live cd?
[05:25] <amn3z1a> yes
[05:25] <holstein> that you installed from?
[05:25] <holstein> OK
[05:25] <holstein> im about to duck out for the nite
[05:26] <amn3z1a> its cool
[05:26] <holstein> i bet it will be quiet in here for a bit
[05:26] <holstein> but
[05:26] <holstein> if it were me
[05:26] <holstein> i would double check the router config
[05:26] <holstein> then, look in lspci
[05:26] <holstein> open a terminal
[05:26] <holstein> run the command
[05:26] <holstein> lspci
[05:26] <holstein> and you should see some info about your networking and other hardware
[05:27] <holstein> thats a good place to start
[05:27] <holstein> Atheros Communications Inc. Device 002c (rev 01)
[05:27] <holstein> for example from mine
[05:27] <amn3z1a> i clicked terminal and it came up with terminal server client, not a command window like normal
[05:27] <holstein> and i google 'ubuntu Atheros Communications Inc. Device 002c (rev 01)'
[05:27] <holstein> and look for forum posts
[05:27] <holstein> and/or bugs
[05:28] <holstein> amn3z1a: you can close terminal server client
[05:28] <holstein> and try again :)
[05:28] <amn3z1a> same thing
[05:28] <holstein> anyways, if the wireless worked live
[05:28] <holstein> you should be able to sort that out
[05:28] <holstein> amn3z1a: same thing?
[05:29] <amn3z1a> opens termin server client, not a command window
[05:29] <holstein> im sure you'll sort it out
[05:29] <holstein> you can always hit control+alt+F2
[05:29] <holstein> BUT
[05:29] <holstein> let me tell you how to get back
[05:30] <holstein> should be control+alt+F7
[05:30] <holstein> amn3z1a: is the mouse not clicking on what its hovering over?
[05:30] <holstein> do other menu items work properly?
[05:30] <amn3z1a> mouse works fine
[05:31] <amn3z1a> for wireless its asking for SSID, BSSID, MAC, and MAC Clone
[05:31] <holstein> amn3z1a: i think i know whats up
[05:31] <holstein> i think you are in the 'internet' menu
[05:31] <holstein> terminal is in the 'assesories' menu
[05:32] <amn3z1a> i am in 'edit wireless connection'
[05:32] <holstein> amn3z1a: 'its asking' ?
[05:32] <holstein> what is it?
[05:32] <holstein> the gnome network manager?
[05:32] <holstein> that will depend on your router config
[05:32] <holstein> for me
[05:32] <amn3z1a> ur right, i opened cmd window now
[05:32] <holstein> i find my ssid
[05:32] <holstein> in the list
[05:32] <holstein> click on it
[05:33] <holstein> enter my wpa pass
[05:33] <holstein> and im given an IP and online automagically
[05:34] <amn3z1a> i got lspci results and see the wireless adapter
[05:34] <amn3z1a> and alot more stuff
[05:34] <holstein> how about the wired?
[05:34] <holstein> anyways
[05:34] <holstein> thats a good step
[05:35] <holstein> if you want to get a USB stick
[05:35] <holstein> and copy that over
[05:35] <amn3z1a> i got host bridges, pci bridges, IDE interface
[05:35] <holstein> so you can get some help with it
[05:35] <holstein> i would try and get it online wireless
[05:35] <holstein> since you did that before
[05:35] <holstein> then
[05:35] <holstein> update the box
[05:35] <holstein> see if the updates get you support for the wired adapter
[05:36] <holstein> amn3z1a: if youre entering information for the wireless adapter
[05:36] <holstein> i say
[05:36] <holstein> throw the current settings out
[05:36] <holstein> and try entering the creds again
[05:36] <holstein> thats probably it
[05:36] <amn3z1a> okies
[05:36] <holstein> a typo in the pass or something
[05:37] <amn3z1a> i entered info for wired, it popped up connection then it was gone
[05:38] <holstein> amn3z1a: you shouldnt need info for wired
[05:39] <amn3z1a> it is set on DHCP but it wont even see the wired connection
[05:39] <morgan__> hey guys, just wondering if anyone knows how I adjust the sensitivity for resizing windows.. i get about a pixel of play before it ignores my feeble attempts
[05:40] <holstein> morgan__: mouse sensitivity not going to help?
[05:40] <morgan__> nah, its more that it has to be RIGHT on the edge of the window
[05:40] <holstein> i think you can set up a key to make the mouse more 'precise'
[05:40] <morgan__> literally pixel for pixel
[05:40] <holstein> morgan__: OH
[05:40] <holstein> i know what you mean
[05:41] <holstein> ;)
[05:41] <holstein> i havent decided to take that on yet
[05:41] <morgan__> nah, the mouse would drive me nuts if it wasn't set up right, it just seems more difficult to resize windows now..
[05:41] <holstein> amn3z1a: we dont know if your wired device works or not
[05:41] <holstein> stop trying that for now
[05:41] <holstein> IF the wireless worked once
[05:41] <holstein> live
[05:41] <holstein> then
[05:41] <holstein> delete the current wireless config
[05:41] <holstein> for your ssid
[05:42] <holstein> and build it again
[05:42] <amn3z1a> nothing is listed in SSID
[05:42] <holstein> and double check the pass
[05:42] <holstein> amn3z1a: you said you could see the access point right?
[05:42] <amn3z1a> yes
[05:42] <holstein> right
[05:42] <holstein> so click on it
[05:42] <amn3z1a> it sees a bunch... i only want to connect to mine.
[05:42] <amn3z1a> i know the pw
[05:43] <holstein> ok
[05:43] <holstein> im suggesting you entered the password incorrectly
[05:43] <holstein> so, you need to go to the wireless networks
[05:43] <amn3z1a> caps lock off... typing it correctly, showing password
[05:43] <holstein> amn3z1a: whats the error?
[05:44] <amn3z1a> it is not showing the 'connect' button, it is shaded
[05:44] <amn3z1a> telling me i am missing info
[05:44] <holstein> have you deleted the info?
[05:44] <holstein> and started over?
[05:44] <amn3z1a> no info to delete
[05:44] <amn3z1a> its all blank
[05:45] <amn3z1a> except for DHCP
[05:45] <holstein> amn3z1a: try connecting to another access point
[05:45] <holstein> if one is open
[05:45] <amn3z1a> how do i see available wireless networks?
[05:46] <holstein> theres a little icon
[05:46] <holstein> down near the time
[05:46] <holstein> you click on that
[05:46] <holstein> and under there is a catagory
[05:47] <holstein> 'availalbe'
[05:47] <amn3z1a> the one when i scroll on it it says 'No Network Connection'?
[05:47] <holstein> it might
[05:47] <amn3z1a> looks like a wifi signal
[05:47] <holstein> yup
[05:47] <amn3z1a> Connection Information is shadowed
[05:48] <holstein> do you see your AP or no?
[05:48] <amn3z1a> negative
[05:48] <holstein> ok
[05:48] <amn3z1a> i dont see any of the ones i see on my laptop when i look at avail wireless
[05:48] <holstein> so how did you connect when you were using the live CD?
[05:48] <holstein> laptop?
[05:49] <amn3z1a> wireless, i entered pw and i was online
[05:49] <holstein> where did you enter the pass?
[05:49] <amn3z1a> it saw it when i was booting live, now that i installed it sees nothing
[05:49] <holstein> i have several theories
[05:50] <amn3z1a> umm... where it said 'Password;
[05:50] <holstein> none are easy
[05:50] <amn3z1a> =P
[05:50] <holstein> since you cant get online at all
[05:50] <holstein> wired
[05:50] <holstein> BUT
[05:50] <amn3z1a> or wireless
[05:50] <amn3z1a> on the desktop
[05:50] <holstein> you probably need a proprietary driver for your wifi card
[05:50] <amn3z1a> nothing works on desktop
[05:50] <holstein> right
[05:50] <holstein> well, if you want to start pulling some of that lspci data over
[05:51] <holstein> maybe somebody can help with that
[05:51] <holstein> you'll need a USB stick though
[05:51] <holstein> i say
[05:51] <holstein> someway to move data to the box without internet
[05:51] <holstein> in those cases
[05:51] <holstein> i have so many wired pci network cards laying around
[05:52] <holstein> i usually just throw one in
[05:52] <holstein> and let it get the stuff i need
[05:52] <holstein> drivers, updates
[05:52] <holstein> whatever
[05:53] <amn3z1a> lspci text saved
[05:53] <holstein> this could be the case https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
[05:53] <holstein> not sure
[05:53] <amn3z1a> and plugged in here
[05:53] <holstein> dont know what card you have
[05:53] <amn3z1a> you'd be shocked...
[05:53] <holstein> yeah?
[05:53] <amn3z1a> its an ASUS M4N82 Deluxe mobo
[05:54] <amn3z1a> realtek onboard lan
[05:54] <amn3z1a> where can i paste the info?
[05:54] <holstein> http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[05:56] <amn3z1a> holstein,  http://paste.ubuntu.com/566851/
[05:57] <amn3z1a> i need another table for my laptop... no room at the desk to set it
[05:57] <amn3z1a> too much equipment hooked to the desktop
[05:59] <holstein> amn3z1a: save that output somewhere handy
[05:59] <holstein> i need to crash
[05:59] <amn3z1a> on the jump drive...
[05:59] <holstein> that'll help somebody else help you sort that out
[05:59] <amn3z1a> thx for ur time holstein
[05:59] <holstein> anytime :)
[05:59] <amn3z1a> =]

[07:00] <Guest19901> Anyone here know how to compile bsnes on Ubuntu Lucid Lynx?
[07:10] <bioterror> Guest19901, extract packafe and read README or INSTALL
[07:12] <Guest19901> http://byuu.org/bsnes/compilation-guide
[07:12] <Guest19901> I need to figure out how to use pastebin
[07:12] <Guest19901> I am new to IRC
[07:13] <Guest19901> OK that was easy
[07:13] <Guest19901> http://paste.ubuntu.com/566861/
[07:42] <geirha> Guest19901: apt-cache policy libsdl1.2debian libpulse-dev
[07:42] <geirha> (could you pastebin that too?)
[07:43] <Guest19901> Use that as a command?
[07:45] <Guest19901> http://paste.ubuntu.com/566865/
[07:46] <Guest19901> I've never seen the command apt-cache policy
[07:46] <Guest19901> I am adding that to my list
[07:48] <geirha> Hm I think it just doesn't have the latest list of packages.   sudo apt-get update
[07:48] <Guest19901> I'll try
[07:49] <Guest19901> Well it was worth a shot:
[07:49] <Guest19901> http://paste.ubuntu.com/566866/
[07:50] <Guest19901> Same as before unless I am mistaken
[07:50] <Guest19901> Thank you for helping
[07:51] <geirha> apt-cache policy libsdl1.2-dev
[07:51] <geirha> It should have one for version 1.2.14-4ubuntu1 and 1.2.14-4ubuntu1.1
[07:51] <Guest19901> http://paste.ubuntu.com/566867/
[07:52] <geirha> Indeed, it's missing the latter, which leads me to believe the mirror you are using http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/, is currently out of sync
[07:53] <geirha> You could switch to the main server, or wait it out, until the us mirror has been fixed.
[07:54] <Guest19901> I'll check software source then. Or is that where to go?
[07:55] <Guest19901> OK, I changed it to see.
[07:55] <geirha> Yes, first tab of software sources
[07:55] <Guest19901> It's downloading package information right now
[07:57] <Guest19901> I don't like the color of this game, but I like the idea:
[07:57] <Guest19901> http://www.nongnu.org/tong/
[07:58] <Guest19901> It says 3 to 4 minutes
[07:59] <geirha> Haha, that looks incredibly hard
[08:01] <Guest19901> Ya, I barely played it when I had Fedora installed once.
[08:02] <Guest19901> It is crazy
[08:02] <Guest19901> the balls bouce off of the moving pieces if I remember right
[08:03] <Guest19901> Sorry, unknown time should always be listed as far as I am concerned. Just kidding though
[08:03] <Guest19901> 31 of 41
[08:04] <Guest19901> It says second for instance. Go figure.
[08:07] <Guest19901> OK, just to make sure it really is still downloading info I clicked on the drop down box called Show for Individual files and it shows files being down loaded in action with a moving bar for the package it is working on downloading the info for.
[08:07] <Guest19901> just to let you know
[08:07] <Guest19901> 33 of 42
[08:08] <geirha> Seems the main server is slow
[08:09] <Guest19901> I wouldn't know. Maybe it's my connection. But I have done torrenting which doen't do bad speed IMO. Currectly I have nothing else happening. I am not downloading any torrent or uploading any torrents or surfing the web
[08:10] <Guest19901> I have software sources, the webpage to pastebin and this channel open and nothing else going on
[08:11] <Guest19901> software source just disappeared on me
[08:11] <Guest19901> it must have been about 30 seconds ago
[08:12] <Guest19901> Was that suppose to happen?
[08:12] <Guest19901> OK, I got a different question about this.
[08:13] <Guest19901> What about the updates tab?
[08:13] <Guest19901> Anyways, lets see if what you said to do worked
[08:13] <Guest19901> Do I need to update
[08:14] <geirha> No, software sources just ran an update.
[08:14] <geirha> apt-cache policy libsdl1.2-dev
[08:14] <geirha> Check that that one now lists the ...1.1 version
[08:15] <Guest19901> http://paste.ubuntu.com/566870/
[08:15] <Guest19901> Was software sources supposed to just disappear?
[08:16] <geirha> I think so. At least if you hit the Close button after changing server.
[08:17] <Guest19901> I've tried going to synaptic package manager, edit fix broken packages before. Should I try that again?
[08:17] <Guest19901> I didn't close any window for software sources. It closed on it's own
[08:18] <geirha> Hm. Then it might have crashed ... which it shouldn't have.
[08:19] <geirha> Try a manual   apt-get update
[08:20] <Guest19901> http://paste.ubuntu.com/566872/
[08:20] <Guest19901> Strike that
[08:21] <Guest19901> I went to synaptic package manager, edit, fix broken packages
[08:21] <Guest19901> then sudo apt-get update
[08:21] <Guest19901> http://paste.ubuntu.com/566873/
[08:21] <geirha> Ah, they lock each other out :)
[08:22] <Guest19901> OK, now what do you think
[08:22] <geirha> Hm. I don't see any lucid-updates in there. apt-cache policy libsdl1.2-dev  still says the same?
[08:22] <Guest19901> Other then I should have used a question mark at the end of my last sentence
[08:23] <Guest19901> trying
[08:23] <Guest19901> http://paste.ubuntu.com/566875/
[08:24] <Guest19901> That's what I thought also
[08:24] <geirha> Go back to software sources and make sure lucid-updates is enabled in the Updates tab
[08:25] <Guest19901> I'll check. Like I meant, what should be in the update tab of software source?
[08:25] <Guest19901> OK, I am going to say what is marked
[08:26] <geirha> You want -security and -updates. -proposed and -backports only if you have particular needs.
[08:26] <Guest19901> Important Security updates (Lucid Security)
[08:26] <Guest19901> chack for updates daily
[08:27] <Guest19901> at the bottom I have long term release supports only
[08:27] <Guest19901> So, I should have recommented updates chacked
[08:27] <Guest19901> ?
[08:28] <Guest19901> ok, that makes sense
[08:28] <geirha> Yes, that's why it fails.
[08:28] <geirha> You could switch back to your us mirror then, while you're at it.
[08:28] <Guest19901> OK, next to go as mario says
[08:28] <Guest19901> OK, I will
[08:29] <Guest19901> OK, one other thing about this
[08:29] <Guest19901> under the tab other software, what should I have?
[08:30] <Guest19901> should I just have all of them?
[08:30] <geirha> Other Software is where it lists all the PPAs and such. And also the partner repository.
[08:30] <Guest19901> I have 2 others I installed.
[08:30] <geirha> I'd only enable the ones I'd need
[08:31] <Guest19901> OK, but I don't know what is needed
[08:32] <Guest19901> The other 2 are. 1 is for dolphin the emulator which runs slow because I don't have the power for it, so I am going to evenually uninstall that soon
[08:32] <Guest19901> not now thouhg
[08:32] <geirha> resize the window so all lines show, then hit Alt+Printscreen and imagebin it
[08:32] <Guest19901> imagebin
[08:32] <geirha> !imagebin
[08:32] <Guest19901> ?
[08:32] <ubot2> Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imagebin.org/?page=add and post a link to it.
[08:33] <Guest19901> ha ha, I didn't know. Cool
[08:34] <Guest19901> Where does the image get saved?
[08:35] <geirha> At some server behind imagebin.org
[08:35] <Guest19901> Never mind, I used the gui instead
[08:35] <geirha> Oh, you meant with Alt+Printscreen
[08:36] <Guest19901> Wow, nice and clear
[08:36] <Guest19901> http://imagebin.org/137858
[08:36] <geirha> Here, it pops up a dialog asking you where to save it.
[08:36] <Guest19901> sorry for the trouble
[08:37] <Guest19901> Ooop, I pressed the wrong key when doing alt-printscreen
[08:37] <Guest19901> that's why it didn't work
[08:38] <geirha> Ah, ok. partner is nice to have if you need some of the non-free software. Doesn't hurt to have it enabled. The second one is some PPA you have added. As long as you have packages from that PPA installed, I'd keep it enabled.
[08:38] <Guest19901> OK, just a second
[08:39] <Guest19901> http://imagebin.org/137860
[08:39] <Guest19901> I love that, thank you
[08:39] <geirha> That looks good
[08:40] <Guest19901> http://imagebin.org/137861
[08:41] <Guest19901> http://imagebin.org/137862
[08:41] <Guest19901> and the other is an easy choice
[08:41] <geirha> Yep, hit Close and then Reload when it asks
[08:41] <Guest19901> OK
[08:41] <geirha> Reload does the equivalent of apt-get update
[08:42] <Guest19901> O, I didn't know. Thank you for telling me.
[08:42] <Guest19901> While I am waiting. I am going to the stall if that's OK
[08:43] <geirha> No! You sit there till you're done!
[08:43] <geirha> ;P
[08:50] <geirha> Anyway, I'm off to work. Hope you got it fixed now. :)
[08:51] <Guest19901> thank you
[08:51] <Guest19901> I will retry
[08:51] <Guest19901> I feel 10 times better after using the stall
[08:51] <Guest19901> ha haha
[08:54] <Guest19901> It's in progress. Yes.
[08:55] <Guest19901> Now I can try compiling other things that weren't working. Thank you dude
[08:56] <Guest19901> I was messing around with software sources before and didn't know what I was doing.
[08:59] <Guest19901> I am updating through update manager now
[09:00] <Guest19901> but the packages installed that are apt-get packages for bsnes, then I tried installing the make and it didn't work
[09:00] <Guest19901> so I am going to re-download bsnes and try after updating through the update manager
[09:01] <Guest19901> :p
[10:02] <Silver_Fox_> Hello.
[10:04] <duanedesign> hey Silver_Fox_
[10:04] <Silver_Fox_> Hello duanedesign :)
[10:04] <Guest19901> Hello all
[10:04] <Guest19901> http://paste.ubuntu.com/566903/
[10:05] <Guest19901> http://byuu.org/bsnes/compilation-guide
[10:07] <Guest19901> I don't see any configuration file, and that's not mentioned so it can't be ./configure
[10:07] <duanedesign> Guest19901: are you using Ubuntu?
[10:08] <Guest19901> Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx
[10:08] <duanedesign> I mena are you using Gnome
[10:08] <duanedesign> ok
[10:08] <Guest19901> yes
[10:08] <Guest19901> Gnome, not KDE
[10:10] <duanedesign> It appears that an environment variable is not set correctly to find the libs needed
[10:10] <Guest19901> I would guess that the terminal told me to change something in the code of the files of bsnes
[10:10] <Guest19901> OK, but how do I figure out what needs changing
[10:10] <Guest19901> Would it be in the make file?
[10:11] <Guest19901> That file isn't long, should I pastebin it?
[10:11] <Silver_Fox_> yes please
[10:12] <Guest19901> OK, working on it
[10:12] <Guest19901> http://paste.ubuntu.com/566905/
[10:16] <duanedesign> back
[10:16] <Guest19901> Ha
[10:16] <Guest19901> what you said worked
[10:16] <duanedesign> ok you got it
[10:16] <Guest19901> Well the apt-get part
[10:17] <duanedesign> export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/bin/pkg-config
[10:17] <duanedesign> that should do it
[10:17] <Guest19901> I am sorry. I am trying to understand
[10:17] <Guest19901> What line?, or where do I put what folder
[10:18] <Guest19901> I am guessing line right
[10:18] <duanedesign> just run the export command in the terminal
[10:18] <Guest19901> now try make
[10:18] <duanedesign> yep
[10:19] <Guest19901> http://paste.ubuntu.com/566908/
[10:20] <duanedesign> same :\
[10:20] <Guest19901> I looks like it.
[10:20] <duanedesign> ahh
[10:20] <Guest19901> Wow, I just ate a bunch of peppers earlier
[10:20] <duanedesign> you left export out of the xcommand
[10:21] <Guest19901> ok
[10:21] <Guest19901> sorry
[10:21] <duanedesign> the full command is:     export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/bin/pkg-config
[10:21] <duanedesign> no worries
[10:21] <Guest19901> http://paste.ubuntu.com/566910/
[10:22] <Guest19901> Where are those packages anyway
[10:23] <Guest19901> Should that be something that needs installing?
[10:23] <Guest19901> This guide didn't say so
[10:23] <Guest19901> http://byuu.org/bsnes/compilation-guide
[10:24] <duanedesign> ok think i got it
[10:24] <Guest19901> OK
[10:24] <duanedesign> run the command:   sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev
[10:25] <duanedesign> i think yo might need the the gtk+-2.0 development package
[10:25] <duanedesign> .17
[10:25] <Guest19901> .17
[10:26] <duanedesign> :P
[10:26] <duanedesign> was supposed to be /17
[10:26] <Guest19901> sudo apt-get install gtk+-2.0
[10:26] <Guest19901> dev or something
[10:26] <Guest19901> It just stopped installing
[10:26] <duanedesign> sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev
[10:27] <Guest19901> installed
[10:27] <Guest19901> Do I do:sudo apt-get install gtk+-2.0 or something
[10:27] <Guest19901> o
[10:27] <Guest19901> sorry
[10:27] <duanedesign> you have that. just needed the dev package
[10:28] <Guest19901> Uh. sorry, what?
[10:28] <Guest19901> it has dev at the end so I am a little like what?
[10:28] <Guest19901> o
[10:29] <Guest19901> sorry I think I misunstood your last
[10:29] <Guest19901> spelling was wrong on misunstood
[10:29] <Guest19901> cd and make
[10:29] <Guest19901> then
[10:30] <Guest19901> ready to make
[10:30] <Guest19901> engage captain
[10:31] <Guest19901> there's a little less now
[10:31] <Guest19901> http://paste.ubuntu.com/566911/
[10:32] <Guest19901> g++ hay
[10:32] <Guest19901> sudo apt-get install g++-4.5?
[10:33] <duanedesign> you need to install....
[10:33] <Guest19901> hmm?
[10:33] <Guest19901> :p
[10:34] <duanedesign> build-essential
[10:34] <duanedesign> is the name of the package
[10:34] <Guest19901> But I thought I installed that some weeks ago
[10:34] <Guest19901> build-essential is already the newest version. The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:   libfltk1.1
[10:35] <duanedesign> hmm
[10:35] <duanedesign> i have to step out for a second. I will be back in about 30 minutes
[10:35] <Guest19901> I wouldn't think this would help
[10:35] <Guest19901> sudo apt-get autoremove
[10:35] <duanedesign> no
[10:35] <Guest19901> ok
[10:35] <Guest19901> ok, then I won't
[10:35] <duanedesign> that is optional. You can remove that package if you want
[10:36] <duanedesign> it wont hurt or help
[10:36] <duanedesign> :)
[10:36] <Guest19901> that's what I thought
[10:36] <duanedesign> if ibuclaw comes back he might be a godd person to ask
[10:36] <Guest19901> I am going to get some wood
[10:36] <Guest19901> for fireplace
[10:36] <duanedesign> kk, sounds good
[10:36] <duanedesign> cya in a bit
[10:37] <Guest19901> ok
[10:37] <Guest19901> \cool
[10:37] <Pooch> is there any way i can increase my wireless adapter ability?
[10:37] <Pooch> on windows i got a way better signal then I do on Ubuntu
[10:37] <Guest19901> Maybe bigger antanna
[10:37] <Guest19901> I wouldn't know though
[10:38] <Guest19901> maybe someone else here knows
[10:38] <Guest19901> O, I have the same thing
[10:38] <Pooch> i think it might be a driver issue
[10:38] <Guest19901> Well, on the other hand this computer is farther away from our router
[10:38] <Guest19901> but
[10:39] <Guest19901> anythings possible I guess
[10:41] <Pooch> so im guessing no-one is around then
[10:41]  * Pooch decides to just lurk then
[10:48]  * andrew_46 is also lurking.....
[10:49] <Silver_Fox_> lurk mode = true;
[10:50] <ibuclaw> class ibuclaw : Silver_Fox_ {
[10:50] <ibuclaw>     override lurk mode = false;
[10:50] <ibuclaw> }
[10:50] <Silver_Fox_> pfft
[10:50] <MrChrisDruif> xD
[10:51] <Pooch> so is there any way that i can increase my wireless adapters signal?
[12:48] <Guest19901> Hmm, I have g++-4.4
[12:49] <Guest19901> So am I suppose to have g++-4.5 or higher for bsnes?
[12:54] <Guest19901> http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/201038-28-increase-power-wireless-router
[12:56] <Guest19901> Hmm, I wonder if this will help:

[12:57] <Guest19901> Are you around still Pooch?
[12:58] <Guest19901> I wonder if that would case trouble as well though?
[12:59] <Guest19901> Some troubleshooting:

[13:07] <Guest19901> tin foil?, I should look into tin foil more for antanna strength
[13:09] <Pooch> lol
[13:10] <Guest19901> I watched the first just now. Crazy
[13:10] <Pooch> kids are all off to school....yay
[13:10] <Guest19901> he he he
[13:11] <Guest19901> All those videos are the same

[13:19] <Guest19901> What kind of router?
[13:19] <Pooch> i got a dlink gaming router
[13:21] <Guest19901> I got a WRT54G Lynksys router
[13:22] <Pooch> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812270343
[13:23] <Pooch> just get a bunch of wire and start running lines :)
[13:23] <Guest19901> hmm, I found this:
[13:23] <Guest19901> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/wireless-signal-strength-and-quality-350532/
[13:25] <Guest19901> Did you see this link I posted?:
[13:25] <Guest19901> http://askubuntu.com/questions/22763/how-to-increase-the-signal-power-of-a-wi-fi-card
[13:26] <Pooch> yea
[13:26] <Pooch> not sure what it means though
[13:28] <Guest19901> Ya, I would be afraid to use commands I am not sure of either. I don
[13:28] <Guest19901> I don't know either

[13:34] <Guest19901> http://www.cantenna.com/
[13:34] <Pooch> u know there made out of old satelites too
[13:37] <Guest19901> a small quote: "Antennas are always directional"
[13:38] <paultag> someone needs to remove that person's reproductive organs
[13:38] <Guest19901> hahaha
[13:38] <Pooch> http://www.ehow.com/how_5120887_build-antenna-using-satellite-dish.html
[13:38] <paultag> always bi-di my ass
[13:39] <paultag> how do cable satilites work, mang?
[13:39] <paultag> although I guess they go back and forth now
[13:39] <paultag> GPS, then
[13:39] <Guest19901> Now your talking
[13:39] <paultag> yeah because stupid people have a special place in my heart Guest19901
[13:39] <paultag> and I just woke up
[13:39] <paultag> but mostly the stupid people thing
[13:40] <Pooch> lol
[13:40] <Guest19901> I was talking to Pooch, but what ever, I am all ears
[13:41] <Pooch> lol
[13:42] <paultag> yeah, but in a public room ;)
[13:42] <Guest19901> true
[13:43] <paultag> righto. I'm off
[13:43]  * paultag whoosh
[13:43] <Guest19901> Here you go: ~O)
[13:44] <Guest19901> A fresh cup of Ubuntu,but I am still learning how to make coffee
[13:46] <MrChrisDruif> sudo make me coffee | Guest19901
[13:47] <Guest19901> :bz I am not worthy to be you servant

[13:52] <Pooch> http://www.echotechwireless.com/product_p/eub-ma24.htm
[13:52] <Guest19901> Since my 2 computers are in a certain direction from where my router is, it would be ideal. But the signal strength would be too much maybe with a Satellite Dish
[13:52] <Guest19901> Are you using a desktop or laptop
[13:57] <Pooch> laptop
[13:59] <Guest19901> This was at the bottom of the link you posted:
[13:59] <Guest19901> http://www.binarywolf.com/249/parabolic.htm
[14:02] <Guest19901> I just found this:
[14:02] <Guest19901> http://lifehacker.com/#!324681/boost-your-wi+fi-antenna-for-less-than-a-dollar
[14:05] <Guest19901> http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=antenna&x=0&y=0
[14:06] <Guest19901> OK, I am sorry I couldn't help you
[14:07] <Pooch> lol
[14:12] <Guest19901> I found this comment in one of the links I posted:
[14:12] <Guest19901> You need to be careful with the transmit power, boosting it too much can take more power (and theoretically cause heat problems, although I've never heard of any) but also creates a 'noisy' signal offering better range, but not as good quality. You should be safe around 50mW though, just don't push it too much
[14:15] <Guest19901> Well, I am going to go to sleep. And I am going to leave my computer connected to this channel for any possible answers to how to get bsnes working on Ubuntu 10.04
[14:17] <Guest19901> Last problem I was having:
[14:17] <Guest19901> http://paste.ubuntu.com/566911/
[14:18] <holstein>  g++-4.5: not found
[14:18] <Guest19901> right
[14:18] <holstein> you'll probably just need to track down those dependancies
[14:18] <holstein> and update packages
[14:18] <holstein> and have a good backup plan
[14:18] <Guest19901> I said that earlier but no one answered which I understand
[14:18] <holstein> if that breaks 10.04
[14:19] <holstein> or breaks something else in 10.04
[14:19] <Guest19901> I wonder if 10.10 has it?
[14:19] <holstein> probably
[14:19] <holstein> im sure there is someone here running 10.10 that can apt-cache search for you
[14:19] <holstein> i just got here
[14:20] <holstein> BUT i find those questions are easier to answer
[14:20] <holstein> and get more attention
[14:20] <holstein> Guest19901: you can try a live CD and look
[14:20] <holstein> or maybe a PPA for g++ ??
[14:20] <Guest19901> http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/g++-4.5
[14:21] <Guest19901> I am Google something
[14:21] <holstein> cool
[14:21] <holstein> so yeah, you know 10.10 will have it
[14:22] <holstein> looks like that could get nasty
[14:22] <Guest19901> Maybe this:
[14:22] <Guest19901> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2886259/gcc-4-5-installation-problem-under-ubuntu
[14:22] <holstein> can you just get a more lucid approprate version of bsnes ??
[14:23] <Guest19901> I am not sure
[14:23] <holstein> ^^ that will help you with g++
[14:23] <Guest19901> I thought I Googled it
[14:23] <holstein> thats one of them :)
[14:24] <Guest19901> You mean the last link I just posted?
[14:24] <holstein> yeah, at a glance
[14:25] <holstein> looks like that will help with g++
[14:25] <holstein> BUT, i would try older versions of bsnes first
[14:25] <holstein> check out https://launchpad.net/~hunter-kaller/+archive/ppa too
[14:25] <holstein> i usually try to go in an order with packages
[14:26] <holstein> in buntu
[14:26] <holstein> the default repos
[14:26] <holstein> then i look for a PPA
[14:26] <holstein> then i try building or finding a .deb
[14:26] <holstein> you dont want to have to change a bunch of lucids core like that
[14:27] <holstein> then what lucid is expecting to have for g++ and its dependancies will be different
[14:27] <holstein> possilbly someting that will break other functionality
[14:27] <Guest19901> OK, right. Why didn't I think of trying an older version of bsnes?
[14:27] <holstein> this would be worth running either 10.10 for
[14:27] <holstein> OR just an older verion, yeah
[14:27] <holstein> thats easy enough
[14:27] <holstein> IF you dont need some funcionality from a newer verion *
[14:28] <Guest19901> But then what about these instuctions. Does he update them?, and if so will that case problems for older versions and lucid?
[14:28] <Guest19901> http://byuu.org/bsnes/compilation-guide
[14:29] <Guest19901> I would think it would be OK, but I am new to comiling
[14:29] <Guest19901> compiling
[14:30] <Guest19901> I might have to downgrade the packages he says to install for older versions, no?
[14:31] <holstein> Guest19901: im not sure
[14:31] <holstein> and im not going to be motivated to check all that out for you
[14:31] <Guest19901> Maybe I should download and try 10.10 for fun then
[14:31] <holstein> you'll just have to choose a path and try it
[14:32] <Guest19901> Thank you for your advice and input
[14:32] <holstein> i would say, trying an older verion of bsnes is easy
[14:32] <Guest19901> It will help
[14:32] <holstein> moving to 10.10 is generally not a bad idea either i suppose
[14:32] <holstein> im running 10.04
[14:32] <holstein> and plan on staying there
[14:33] <holstein> til something deal-breaking comes along
[14:34] <Guest19901> I can try, but I need to sleep. I run long term versions but I guess it doesn't matter, I just thought there was an advantage to using long term over the smaller releases but I really don't know any better
[14:34] <holstein> i think it depends on your needs
[14:34] <holstein> i have a production machine
[14:34] <holstein> audio rig
[14:34] <holstein> thats going to stay on 10.04
[14:34] <holstein> but, i might run 11.04 on my netbook
[14:35] <holstein> and i have testing installs of 10.10 and 11.04
[14:35] <Guest19901> I am pretty happy, I just wanted to learn for the most part and try out as many emulators as I can.
[14:35] <holstein> i wouldnt let some emulator push me around
[14:36] <holstein> and tell me to upgrade a bunch of packages
[14:36] <holstein> OR upgrade to a verion of buntu
[14:36] <holstein> IF i didnt want to
[14:36] <Guest19901> I have tried Kega Fusion(natively), Gens for Windows under wine, Gens/GS (Natively), ZSNES through Ubuntu Software Center
[14:36] <holstein> unless theres something just amazing in the new version
[14:37] <Guest19901> Right, I am just monkeying around
[14:37] <holstein> thats probably something you could get by with in virtualbox though
[14:37] <holstein> installing 10.10
[14:37] <holstein> a 'test' install
[14:37] <holstein> and trying it
[14:37] <Guest19901> True, great idea.
[14:38] <holstein> performance would probably be acceptable
[14:38] <Guest19901> what's free for that kind of thing?, I have Ubuntu of coarse and Windows XP
[14:39] <Guest19901> I would be running an ISO right
[14:40] <Guest19901> An ISO of Ubuntu 10.10, right?
[14:40] <Guest19901> I have never used a virtualbox
[14:41] <holstein> give it a look
[14:41] <Guest19901> O, OK
[14:41] <Guest19901> http://byuu.org/bsnes/compilation-guide
[14:41] <Guest19901> Ooops
[14:41] <holstein> nice way to test OS's
[14:41] <Guest19901> It didn't copy
[14:41] <holstein> or look at live CD's
[14:42] <holstein> or install things without messing with your HD
[14:42] <holstein> if you can deal with a performance hit
[14:42] <Guest19901> It right in Ubuntu Software Center, wow cool
[14:43] <Guest19901> I can run N64 games, but not gamecube games
[14:43] <Guest19901> I don't have dual cores
[14:43] <Guest19901> Still though
[14:44] <Guest19901> Worst comes to worst I have enough hard drives for installing to try it out
[14:45] <Guest19901> 3, one for back ups, this hard drive and an experiemental hard drive
[14:45] <holstein> right
[14:45] <holstein> with vbox
[14:45] <Guest19901> I am glad you mentioned virtualbox though. I will try that out
[14:45] <holstein> you dont have to burn discs
[14:45] <holstein> or prepare USB's
[14:45] <holstein> or wipe anything
[14:45] <holstein> or deal with grub
[14:46] <Guest19901> OK, cool, so ISOs right
[14:46] <holstein> you just need enough ram to 'share'
[14:46] <holstein> handy to test networking scenarios too
[14:46] <Guest19901> hmm, well, I could move the ram from the other computer till I am done.
[14:46] <Guest19901> right
[14:47] <Guest19901> Is this done from an ISO of like for instance Ubuntu 10.10?
[14:47] <holstein> sure
[14:47] <Guest19901> Nice
[14:49] <Guest19901> vbox, there is also virtualbox OSE, and Test drive an Ubuntu OS
[14:50] <Guest19901> 3 to try
[14:50] <holstein> vbox OSE = open source edition
[14:50] <holstein> no USB support
[14:50] <holstein> for the guests
[14:50] <holstein> if thats important for you
[14:50] <holstein> ive used both
[14:50] <Guest19901> so no flash drives?
[14:51] <holstein> * with the OSE
[14:51] <holstein> if you go to the site
[14:51] <holstein> you can download the proprietary version
[14:51] <holstein> im not sure what 'test drive and ubuntu os' is
[14:51] <Guest19901> Can we use files on the hard drive being hosted on?
[14:51] <holstein> in several ways
[14:52] <Guest19901> Well, you have just opened my eyes to new light and freedom
[14:53] <Guest19901> So your saying vbox is better for people who want usb support.
[14:53] <holstein> well
[14:53] <holstein> better is not really the term
[14:54] <holstein> you must use the proprietary verion
[14:54] <holstein> IF you want USB support in the guests
[14:54] <holstein> is open better? is USB support better?
[14:54] <holstein> thats up to you
[14:54] <Guest19901> USB won't be a factor for me.
[14:55] <Guest19901> Like you said it's just a test
[14:55] <holstein> you're not married to it
[14:55] <holstein> AFAIK
[14:55] <holstein> you can install the open one
[14:55] <holstein> and save your VM's
[14:55] <holstein> and move to the other version
[14:55] <holstein> if you want/need later
[14:56] <Guest19901> Virtual Machine's = VM's, right?
[14:57] <Guest19901> That's really cool
[14:57] <Guest19901> Thank you. I need to get some shut eye.
[14:58] <holstein> Guest19901: yup
[14:58] <holstein> anytime Guest19901
[14:58] <holstein> GN :)
[14:58] <Guest19901> Have a good day, and I hope I didn't upset anyone earlier.
[14:58] <Guest19901> Bye
[17:36] <mtkorb> When I get to the login screen on Ubuntu Server 10.04, it's printing "MASQUERADE: lo ate my IP address" over and over. Anyone know what this means?
[17:44] <cprofitt> mtkorb: are you using internet connection sharing?
[17:45] <cprofitt> https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/53619
[17:45] <cprofitt> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing
[17:45] <cprofitt> those may be of assistance if you are
[18:12] <rokyronnie> Hi there
[18:13] <aveilleux> Oh Allo
[18:13] <mtkorb> cprofitt: I have Ubuntu installed on a flash drive so I can't run any commands on in since I can't boot into recovery mode or anything. Is it possible to configure connection sharing by editing files?
[18:14] <rokyronnie> hey.. don't you know how can I access my old version of kernel ? If II try from Grub menu, it loads, but it's just a terminal, I tried startx but iit says  Login incorrect, what can I do?
[18:17] <cprofitt> mtkorb: well if this is a default install I would not think that is the actual proble
[18:17] <cprofitt> problem
[18:17] <cprofitt> unless your setup uses connection sharing
[18:17] <cprofitt> however you should be able to edit the files while booted from the USB
[18:23] <mtkorb> cprofitt: well i have a rather unique setup here... i moved the install onto a flash drive (also installing GRUB on it). the install had been configured as part of a cluster, so it's likely that this connection sharing issue is the problem. i can't edit the files while booted from the USB because I can't login. I just get that masquerade error.
[18:25] <cprofitt> ah...
[18:26] <cprofitt> you should be able to edit the files on another linux box too
[18:26] <cprofitt> they are just files
[18:26] <cprofitt> never heard of a person running a cluster from USB...
[18:26] <cprofitt> cool stuff
[18:27] <rokyronnie> How can I access my old version of kernel ? If II try from Grub menu, it loads, but it's just a terminal, I tried startx but it says  Login incorrect, what can I do?
[18:27] <holstein> rokyronnie: if you are typing 'startx'
[18:28] <holstein> as the user name
[18:28] <holstein> thats the response i would expect to see
[18:28] <rokyronnie> so.. I must enter my username fisrt, then my pass, and then startx?
[18:28] <holstein> depends
[18:28] <holstein> what is the promt asking for?
[18:29] <holstein> if it says 'login'
[18:29] <holstein> then yeah
[18:29] <rokyronnie> it's the same line, as it appear if I enter now in terminal
[18:29] <holstein> rokyronnie: whats the issue?
[18:30] <rokyronnie> the issue it's that, my OSS4 it seems to not working correctly with this version of kernel
[18:30] <holstein> audio?
[18:30] <rokyronnie> yes
[18:30] <holstein> hmmm
[18:30] <holstein> you have pulse still right?
[18:31] <rokyronnie> I do not have control on Center and Rear, I modify the volume levels but nothing happens
[18:31] <holstein> what is trying to access oss?
[18:31] <rokyronnie> I use OSS
[18:31] <holstein> thats coo
[18:31] <holstein> l
[18:31] <holstein> BUT
[18:31] <holstein> ubuntu is expecting pulse
[18:31] <holstein> you might hit some 'gochtas'
[18:31] <holstein> gotcha*
[18:31] <holstein> rokyronnie: run in a terminal
[18:31] <holstein> aplay -l
[18:32] <holstein> and arecord -l
[18:32] <holstein> im not doughting the newer kernel version may have dropped support for your device
[18:32] <rokyronnie> aplay: device_list:235: no soundcards found...
[18:33] <rokyronnie> same on the second command
[18:33] <holstein> rokyronnie: so, your card is not being picked up
[18:33] <holstein> that shouldnt have anything to do with oss
[18:33] <holstein> what is the device?
[18:33] <holstein> do you see it in lspci?
[18:33] <rokyronnie> Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 SE
[18:33] <rokyronnie> I use a 5.1 system
[18:33] <holstein> well, at least those are kinda crap anyways
[18:33] <holstein> if you need to replace it
[18:33] <rokyronnie> I know
[18:34] <rokyronnie> but it worked just fine, before I upgraded to this kernel
[18:34] <holstein> rokyronnie: you should literally be able to select at boot
[18:34] <holstein> the older kernel
[18:34] <rokyronnie> I am, there is
[18:34] <holstein> do you see a list?
[18:34] <rokyronnie> the new version, and the last version
[18:34] <rokyronnie> yes
[18:34] <holstein> there should be 2 entries
[18:34] <holstein> per kernel
[18:34] <rokyronnie> yes
[18:34] <rokyronnie> there are :)
[18:34] <holstein> make sure you dont get the 'recovery' one
[18:34] <holstein> and it should just boot
[18:34] <rokyronnie> it's not the recovery, I am sure
[18:34] <holstein> like normal
[18:35] <rokyronnie> I tried twice
[18:35] <holstein> do you normally need to issue 'startx' ?
[18:35] <holstein> also, are there other kernels?
[18:35] <holstein> just keep stepping back
[18:36] <holstein> til one boots
[18:36] <rokyronnie> If I normally need to enter that command? no..... but I discovered that, after the upgrade to these kernel, when the system is loading up, I have no load screen ( you know, that picture with Ubuntu ) it's just command lines
[18:36] <holstein> right
[18:36] <holstein> GDM is not loading
[18:36] <holstein> hmmm
[18:36] <holstein> rokyronnie: try an even older kernel
[18:36] <holstein> just for trouble-shooing
[18:36] <rokyronnie> that's what I want to do
[18:36] <holstein> shooting
[18:37] <holstein> you've tried them all?
[18:37] <rokyronnie> I've just 2 versions there, and the old one was good
[18:37] <holstein> for whatever reason
[18:37] <holstein> it aint now
[18:37] <holstein> hmmm
[18:37] <holstein> rokyronnie: what graphics driver?
[18:37] <rokyronnie> 173
[18:37] <rokyronnie> Nvidia
[18:38] <holstein> right
[18:38] <holstein> that would be a good place to start
[18:38] <holstein> maybe that got borked somehow
[18:38] <rokyronnie> I tried with the "Recommended" version, but it's the same
[18:38] <holstein> im just wondering if in your trials there
[18:38] <cprofitt> isn't there still a 9x version of nvidia too?
[18:38] <holstein> with the graphics card
[18:39] <rokyronnie> yes, there is a 9 version
[18:39] <holstein> if youve borked the install somehow
[18:39] <rokyronnie> hei... I can give a try, and If it dosen't work with user, pass and startx I can make a photo and I'll show you what it's about
[18:39] <holstein> well, what happens when you login and say 'startx' ?
[18:40] <holstein> thats going to be telling i think
[18:40] <rokyronnie> ok, I'll be back in a few minutes
[18:43] <aveilleux> holstein: You'd have to sudo startx...
[18:45] <holstein> aveilleux: you want me to pass that on to rokyronnie?
[18:45] <holstein> nah, i'll let you do it
[18:54] <rokyronnie> I'm back.It says something about Nvidia X server, I've did some photos, I can upload them
[18:59] <rokyronnie> so... what can I do?
[19:05] <satya> hello
[19:07] <rokyronnie> hello
[19:12] <holstein> aveilleux: ping
[19:12] <holstein> rokyronnie: is back
[19:12] <holstein> if you'd like to assist
[19:12]  * holstein is out for lunch
[19:13] <rokyronnie> just 2 minutes, I've to finish something
[19:29] <s-fox> Hello.
[19:31] <rokyronnie> hello
[19:31] <rokyronnie> holstein: I'm back, say when you're here
[20:08] <holstein> hey rokyronnie
[20:08] <holstein> whats the deal?
[20:09] <rokyronnie> hey :)
[20:09] <rokyronnie> I tried, but it says something about Nvidia drivers
[20:09] <holstein> thats what i was thinking
[20:09] <rokyronnie> someone told me that I must try to install them from there
[20:09] <holstein> i think it might be worth trying a custom xorg.conf
[20:10] <holstein> forcing vesa
[20:10] <rokyronnie> I just download them, but they are .run is this extension wight?
[20:10] <holstein> just to see it you can see the desktop
[20:10] <holstein> and then you know its the nvidia drivers for sure
[20:10] <holstein> rokyronnie: im not totally sure how to do it
[20:10] <holstein> i have on nivida GPU
[20:10] <holstein> and i just use the open drivers
[20:10] <rokyronnie> I have Nvidia too
[20:10] <holstein> let me dig up the wiki though...
[20:11] <rokyronnie> ok
[20:12] <holstein> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[20:12] <holstein> i think this is kept mostly up to date
[20:13] <holstein> rokyronnie: if you've been crashing around in there already
[20:13] <holstein> i would say it wouldnt hurt to try to re-install the drivers
[20:15] <rokyronnie> I tried
[20:15] <rokyronnie> but someone told me, that for use the old kernel, I must install the drivers from that place, that means I must install them in command line
[20:17] <holstein> who told you what?
[20:17] <holstein> when?
[20:18] <rokyronnie> someone from our comunity forum, I am from Romania
[20:18] <rokyronnie> so, it's ubuntu.ro
[20:18] <rokyronnie> today
[20:18] <holstein> hmmm
[20:18] <holstein> unless its someone with that hardware
[20:19] <holstein> or a kernel dev
[20:19] <rokyronnie> I can try to run it
[20:19] <holstein> i wouldnt necessarily trust that assesment
[20:19] <holstein> not that they are wrong
[20:19] <holstein> *
[20:20] <rokyronnie> he said this worked for him
[20:20] <holstein> reinstalling that driver
[20:20] <holstein> and trying the older kernel should work
[20:20] <rokyronnie> I tried
[20:20] <holstein> hmmm
[20:20] <rokyronnie> I tried with all versions
[20:20] <holstein> if that guy has that hardware
[20:20] <holstein> i would try and track him down
[20:20] <holstein> and see whats up
[20:20] <rokyronnie> he has Nvidia too
[20:20] <holstein> without the hardware in front of me
[20:20] <holstein> its hard to say
[20:21] <holstein> rokyronnie: well, it needs to be the *same* nividia hardware
[20:21] <holstein> that you have
[20:21] <holstein> for it to be relevant
[20:21] <rokyronnie> I've download the drivers for my device, this is not a problem
[20:22] <rokyronnie> I can try... I guess I've nothing to loose
[20:24] <rokyronnie> be right back
[20:27] <mtkorb> How can I get to Ubuntu recovery mode if I'm booting from a flash drive?
[20:30] <holstein> mtkorb: i dont think you can
[20:30] <holstein> the recovery mode i think you are looking for
[20:30] <holstein> is in GRUB
[20:30] <holstein> when booting
[20:30] <holstein> if grub is hidden
[20:31] <holstein> you should be able to hit 'shift' and see options
[20:31] <mtkorb> i have GRUB installed on the flash drive
[20:31] <bioterror> mtkorb, put single into the end of boot parameters in grub
[20:34] <mtkorb> holstein: ah thanks, i was trying ESC.
[20:37] <mtkorb> when I select recovery mode, it says "Loading Linux 2.6.32-28-server ... error: file not found. Loading initial ramdisk ... error: you need to load the kernel first. Press any key to continue..._"
[20:38] <holstein> thats not good :/
[20:38] <holstein> what is the overall problem?
[20:40] <mtkorb> holstein: I'm in the process of moving the Ubuntu install from a hard drive to a flash drive, and for some reason I can't log in when I boot it from the flash drive. So I'm trying to get into recovery mode so I can reset my password.
[20:41] <holstein> how did you move grub?
[20:41] <holstein> maybe you need to reinstall grub to the flash drive ??
[20:42] <holstein> or maybe the info is just not right
[20:42] <holstein> what grub is expecting
[20:42] <holstein> uuid's or some info that needs to be changes
[20:42] <holstein> changed*
[20:44] <mtkorb> I used "grub-install /dev/sdb" or something like that. I messed around with UUIDs in the grub.cfg file to get it to boot normally. I think GRUB knows to boot from the flash drive...what else might I need to change?
[20:44] <holstein> not sure
[20:45] <holstein> that sounds about like what i though would need to be changed...
[20:45] <holstein> hmmm
[20:49] <mtkorb> I think I may have found it. When I select the recovery mode option in GRUB and press e to edit, it looks like the kernel and uuid are incorrect.
[20:50] <holstein> that would be nice
[20:50] <holstein> easy
[20:50] <holstein> easier*
[21:47] <mtkorb> I'm getting a strange error that keeps printing to my terminal. Is there a way to find out what process is writing it?
[21:49] <MrChrisDruif> mtkorb: it might be helpful if you could post the error to paste.ubuntu.com :)
[21:53] <mtkorb> It's a very short error so I'll just put it here: "MASQUERADE: lo ate my IP address" And to the left of it there is what appears to be a float in brackets that keeps increasing with each error. "[ 687.122104] ... [ 692.321945] ..." I haven't had much luck finding the configuration that's causing this, so I'd like to find the process that's printing it.
[22:01] <MrChrisDruif> Hmmm....I don't know ofc, but it might be some computer threat....I've searched both MASQUERADE and lo... "Masquerade, a type of computer threat" and ""Lo", the first message to travel across ARPAnet, later to become the internet." <source WikiPedia>
[22:01] <MrChrisDruif> But again, that is only from searching !!
[22:01] <MrChrisDruif> Might be something completely different
