[21:50] <lorenz> hylian, go ask further questions about the GUI in nautilus related forums/IRC chanels... maybe they can help you
[21:50] <srk9> c3l, do you have any idea why he does not just do that if a symlink is what he wanted to make?
[21:51] <erUSUL> hylian: press alt + drag the file
[21:51] <devin> if i try to adjust the volume above halfway, i get speaker crackle. i already tried switching from pulseaudio to alsa but they both did it
[21:51] <shauno> hylian: hold down alt while you drag the icon from one folder to another.  when dropped, it'll pop up a menu offering you more choices than just copy
[21:51] <Jordan_U> c3l: * "ln -s /path/to/target /path/to/link"
[21:51] <guest1> may be a picture will  help us to solve that funny situation with link
[21:51] <hylian> thanx guys, but i really dont want to type /path/to/target (/media/Storage/documents/*.doc) everytime i want to make a link, see? easy is the idea, not hard, aye?
[21:51] <srk9> hylian, you have hard and easy confused.
[21:51] <hylian> shauno thank you! thats what i was looking for!
[21:51] <lorenz> hylian, just drag the file into the terminal
[21:51] <srk9> hylian, could your adversion to using the command prompt be the result of an inability to type quickly?
[21:51] <guest1> nautilus extensions scripts вon't ?
[21:51] <c3l> srk9: newcomers from the dark side are often stubborn and wants to do it the way they did it before (then why change..)
[21:51] <ZykoticK9> hylian, GUI is the hard way in most cases ;)
[21:51] <sjm> hylian, for file in /path/to/files/; do ln -s /path/to/link/$file /path/to/file/$file; done  (or something very much like that.
[21:51] <erUSUL> hylian: anf links created that way do not have the "link to" in the name
[21:52] <NightlyUser> does anyone find it ironic that a person with the nick hylian is having trouble with LINKs?
[21:52] <srk9> c3l: I thought windows did not support symbolic links.
[21:52] <oka> hylian, type <enter first letters> and press TAB
[21:52] <guest1> HYperlinks :)
[21:52] <astra-x> is there anything like yojimbo for Ubuntu?
[21:52] <erUSUL> astra-x: waht is yojimbo ?
[21:52] <hylian> shauno gave me the answer, thank you!
[21:52] <srk9> Here is another question... Why does hylian have time to use IRC if he does not have time for the terminal?
[21:52] <lorenz> srk9, shortcuts... ;)
[21:52] <astra-x> erUSUL: http://www.barebones.com/products/yojimbo/
[21:53] <c3l> srk9: me too, I dont really know what he's refering to
[21:53] <shauno> here's a question.  is ubuntu linux for human beings, or are we really just terminal elitists.
[21:53] <devin> if i try to adjust the volume above halfway, i get speaker crackle. i already tried switching from pulseaudio to alsa but they both did it. my mac dual-boot can play sound much louder without problems
[21:53] <erUSUL> hylian: Dr_Willis eons ago and me just now did the same
[21:53] <HomingHamster> hi
[21:53] <srk9> Does an IRC client exist that works inside a terminal?
[21:53] <brontosaurusrex> shauno: the 2nd
[21:53]  * brummbaer nods at shauno
[21:53] <srk9> I am new to IRC, so I am ignorant of these things. :/
[21:53] <HomingHamster> i have a 4GB maxell pendrive with encryption when i start gparted with it connected gparted crashes
[21:53] <erUSUL> srk9: many
[21:53] <c3l> srk9: irssi, the besct client af them all (incl guis :)
[21:53] <brontosaurusrex> srk9: there are plenty of them
[21:54] <HomingHamster> does anyone know what i can do to format this drive?
[21:54] <hylian> yeah, i didn't realize, you had to press alt after leaving the window. so it would just drag around the window, instead of letting me drag and drop, my bad.
[21:54] <lorenz> srk9, yeah the gui is to crowded ;)
[21:54] <erUSUL> srk9: irssi; weechat; bitchX ....
[21:54] <Stavros> hello
[21:54] <srk9> Is irssi the best in everyone's opinion?
[21:54] <BluesKaj> gawd i hope I'm not terminal , elitist
[21:54] <erUSUL> !best | srk9
[21:54] <ridin> how do i install and use emerald themes?
[21:54] <HomingHamster> srk9, i think so
[21:54] <Stavros> varnish is at 2.1.0 which is a bit unstable, will 2.1.2 be backported or is there a way to get it?
[21:54] <ZykoticK9> !emerald > ridin
[21:54] <devin> anybody know anything about speaker crackle??
[21:54] <BluesKaj> !emr
[21:54] <erUSUL> !emerald | ridin
[21:55] <srk9> Okay. I am installing irssi. Thanks for the tip.
[21:55] <sjm> shauno, probably most here use the power of the cli when appropriate and didn't know about your drag-n-drop solution.
[21:55] <BluesKaj> !emerald |  ridin
[21:55] <srk9> irssi will install as soon as it finishes compiling from source. :D
[21:55] <hylian> well thanx alot guys! I appreciate it. i use terminal a ton, but thats for things like changing file permissions, or fstab, or using apt-get, or for ssh-ing into a server.
[21:55] <entropia> hi, i use in bash cal > calendario; sed -n -e "2,7 p" calendario | cut -d" " -f1 and it show me only the 2 numbre's days, how can i fix it
[21:55] <ridin> oh dang ;x
[21:56] <srk9> hylian, file permissions can be done from inside a file manager window.
[21:56] <iceroot> srk9: sudo apt-get install irssi   why compiling? and yes, irssi is the best
[21:56] <c3l> srk9: tbh ive never seen anyone use another terminalbased irc client than irssi. (when trying it, dont get scared of, it is quite annoying at the start if not used to similar programs. but its well documented on its site)
[21:56] <BluesKaj> !emerald
[21:56] <srk9> iceroot: I am running Gentoo Linux. It does not have a binary package.
[21:56] <iceroot> srk9: #gentoo :)
[21:56] <srk9> iceroot: I am in #gentoo as well.
[21:56] <downey554> hello, i am  new to ubuntu.....  just installed Basic-256 for my son and it locks up after a couple of command lines.  is there something i am doing wrong?
[21:57] <hylian> what can i say, i am oldschool terminal linux. but... i also like easy. i remember file perimssions, it's stuck, i dont remember all the codes...
[21:57] <srk9> I am new to IRC, so I am trying out a few different channels at once.
[21:57] <devin> anybody know anything about speaker crackle??
[21:57] <guest1> there are few people at #gentoo
[21:57] <erUSUL> entropia: cal | sed -n -e "2,7 p"  | awk '{print $1}'
[21:57] <pk__> i have a directory in 666 mode
[21:57] <erUSUL> entropia: cut is too "rigid"
[21:57] <BluesKaj> devin, could be dirty volume ctrls
[21:57] <srk9> c3l: thanks for the information. I have it installed now, so I will try it out in a bit.
[21:57] <pk__> but when i cd to it...it says permission denied
[21:57] <entropia> thanks erUSUL
[21:58] <devin> BluesKaj, what do you mean by that?
[21:58] <pk__> please help
[21:58] <ZykoticK9> pk__, directories need to be executable for you to enter them.
[21:58] <c3l> I just have to ask while youre talking of gentoo, whats the point of not havin binaries? it just takes extra time, and I've never had the need to change something before installing (maybe im just not aware of the goodness in it..)
[21:58] <erUSUL> entropia: also; as you saw; you do not need a file
[21:58] <pk__> k
[21:58] <froschi> so people, is the are graphical tool to add other OSs to the grub?
[21:58] <BluesKaj> exactly what I said, devin ,,you weren't specific about what you are trying to do
[21:58] <c3l> srk9: the #irssi is good too for help, anyways gl :)
[21:58] <srk9> c3l: The reason is because binaries restrict what you can do with software.
[21:59] <froschi> *there a* :/
[21:59] <srk9> c3l: thanks. I will try that.
[21:59] <pk__> worked thanx
[21:59] <HomingHamster> does anyone know where i can find help for gparted
[21:59] <AndyGraybeal> okay guys, i got a 640GB raid array - i would like it to house /srv and /home -- what is the recommended way to do this?  i would prefer not to split it up into different partitions and keep it one big partition.
[21:59] <BluesKaj> !gparted
[21:59] <c3l> srk9: I can still easily get the sourceif I want in ubuntu, but mostly I never have too
[21:59] <devin> BluesKaj, i was specific earlier, so here it is again: if i turn the volume up past halfway, i get speaker crackle in linux, but not in the macOSX partition, and i already tried switching from pulseaudio to alsa and they both did it
[21:59] <shauno> srk9: binaries are only restrictive if they're the only option.  you're free to apt-get source package on sensible distros too.  it's just considered sane not to *have* to
[21:59] <hylian> HomingHamster here is the manual, but you probably need mor ehelp? http://gparted.sourceforge.net/docs/help-manual/C/gparted.html
[22:00] <BluesKaj> devin, what sound card/
[22:00] <HomingHamster> hylian, i just asked and didn't get a respose so i was looking for a help room
[22:00] <entropia> erUSUL, how can i do it whithout a file
[22:00] <erUSUL> entropia: i just showed you
[22:01] <hylian> HomingHamster did that help at all?
[22:01] <erUSUL> entropia: do you see any file in my command line
[22:01] <erUSUL> ?
[22:01] <entropia> erUSUL, i see, thanks again
[22:01] <froschi> !grub
[22:01] <srk9> c3l: Anyway, with binaries, you have quite a few things chosen for you. Large pieces of software typically have different build options. Those build options turn on and off different features. Sometimes they control the selection of multiple mutually exclusive features. You need to compile from source to get them. By having an OS that always compiles from source, you can get the best of both worlds, because it needs to be designed
[22:01] <srk9> to handle that sort of thing. Gentoo Linux has this concept of USE flags that handles these sorts of features. It is not perfect, but at the same time, manipulating them can allow you to remove entire dependency chains from your system and alter multiple packages at once.
[22:01] <devin> BluesKaj, i'm not sure but ALSA says Realtek ALC889A
[22:01] <froschi> !grub2
[22:01] <erUSUL> srk9: go to offtopic already
[22:01] <erUSUL> !ot | srk9
[22:01] <HomingHamster> hylian, what help?
[22:02] <HomingHamster> no offence
[22:02] <BluesKaj> devin, lspci | grep audio , in the terminal
[22:02] <hylian> HomingHamster you asked for the manual, and i gave you it: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/docs/help-manual/C/gparted.html
[22:02] <devin> BluesKaj, nothing happened
[22:02] <HomingHamster> hylian, thanks, do you know of a place where i can ask people for support in gparted?
[22:03] <ZykoticK9> devin, "lspci | grep -i audio" will probably work
[22:03] <srk9> c3l, I am moving to $ubuntu-offtopic
[22:03] <srk9> #ubuntu-offtopic
[22:04] <froschi> well, now the topic is on the table: ubuntu (as debian) *have* the source repos and one *can* build software. i not often did that. but is it simple to 'convert' to compiling everything, like 'make world' in ubuntu?
[22:04] <devin> BluesKaj Zykotick9 it says 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 04)
[22:04] <Guest98649> saven, ubuntu me tiene chato, aveces no funcionan los programas, aveces se desconfiguran las cuestiones, no se, tiene un monton de problemas me tiene chato, me es terrible inestable en ese sentido, talves sea yo el q no sabe configurar bien las cosas pero las cuestiones se desconfigura solas y aveces de la nada fallan y tengo q tar reiniciando pa q se arregle la verdad ya no aguanto mas, nada de lo que quiero hacer me funciona, porfa diganme

[22:09] <shauno> out of curiosity, is there separate options for latin america vs european spanish?
[22:09] <uLinux> :)
[22:09] <dj_> I need python 2.5 anyone know how I can get it ?
[22:09] <JWay> how do I make a custom directory writable for my php script? only /tmp/ is allowed to write in. have set 777 chmod on the other, no dice.
[22:09] <sjm> shauno, in what context?
[22:09] <iceroot> JWay: never use 777
[22:09] <Dr_Willis> dj_:  ive seen that asked in here befor. but never seen a 'quick' answer. You may want to check the forums.
[22:09] <JWay> ice799, I know but wanted to see if it worked
[22:09] <iceroot> JWay: read the php.ini about working dir
[22:09] <shauno> sjm, not entirely sure how much they differ.  that Guest was .cl (chile), not spain
[22:09] <guest1> python 2.5 is not installed?
[22:09] <dj_> thanks Dr_Willis
[22:10] <shauno> sjm: in context of finding them a localized #ubuntu
[22:10] <erUSUL> dj_: afaik is installed by default
[22:10] <sjm> shauno, for support, it's not needed.  configuration in ubuntu may differ, though
[22:10] <erUSUL> dj_: it is default python in lucid
[22:10] <Dr_Willis> Python 2.6.5
[22:10] <dj_> Dr_Willis,  I need it for ultamatix fyi,its a lil prog ultimate ubuntu devs made that I like to add ppa's etc easily
[22:10] <sjm> shauno, mostly as to keyboard layout and dictionaries and such
[22:11] <hylian> guest1 if you know your way around terminal, you can type this: sudo aptitude install python2.5
[22:11] <shauno> sjm, good to know (as I said, I'm not sure to what extent their dialects differ)
[22:11] <guest1> I know
[22:11] <ZykoticK9> dj_, you might want to check out "Ubuntu Tweak"
[22:11] <Dr_Willis> dj_:  i would find some other program that does teh same job..  if their tool is still ysing that older python.. well.. thats not a godo sign
[22:11] <dj_> hylian it is not in my repos
[22:11] <guest1> he wanna a lower level of python
[22:12] <Dr_Willis> dj_:  theres dozens of 'ppa/repo management type tools out' I use ubuntu-tweak mainly.
[22:12] <entropia> hey erUSUL, cal | sed -n -e "2,7 p"  | awk '{print $1}' doesnt work
[22:12] <dj_> ZykoticK9, I also use tweak,I just had to install the ppa to get the one that works for lucid
[22:12] <erUSUL> entropia: how it fails ?
[22:12] <guest1> interesting : we can't uninstall python because of system?
[22:12] <Dr_Willis> You can have more then 1 version of python. but it can cause issues
[22:12] <falconic> hey guys..
[22:12] <hylian> dj_ i see what you mean, the closest i see is 2.6 minimal, 3.0 is too new? need older dependencies?
[22:12] <dustin> hi
[22:12] <entropia> erUSUL, it always put the number 1
[22:12] <falconic> I just finishing installing Lucid on my Acer 5745G laptop
[22:13] <falconic> and facing two issues
[22:13] <ZykoticK9> dj_, if you know the ppa address just use "sudo add-apt-respository $NAME"
[22:13] <falconic> 1) No Sound
[22:13] <sjm> guest1, use aptitude search (or apt-cache search) to see if there is a prior version that can be installed
[22:13] <falconic> 2) No Battery Meter
[22:13] <entropia> erUSUL, cal 2010 | sed -n -e "2,33 p"  | awk '{print $1}'
[22:13] <PinkBunny> hi
[22:13] <ZykoticK9> !enter | falconic
[22:13] <dj_> ZykoticK9, I got the ppa for tweak but ultamatix doesnt have a ppa
[22:13] <erUSUL> entropia: i see
[22:14] <falconic> the sound works in the live cd and was working earlier.. but not anymore..... when I click on the notification area applet.. it says.. waitng for devices..
[22:14] <falconic> ubottu: will keep that in mind :)
[22:14] <devin> i am trying to follow the instructions to fix my sound problem and it says to open a file /usr/share/doc/alsa-base/driver/HD-Audio-Models.txt.gz but i can't because the permissions are -rw-r--r-- 1 root root and it won't let me change them
[22:14] <ZykoticK9> dj_, if this ultramatix doesn't use modern Python it's probably not worth the work... just my opinion ;)
[22:14] <erUSUL> entropia: i do ot see an easy way to fix it
[22:15] <dustin> i need an so the can make my penteim 3 work like new(like a reto fit) and so i can reuse so old computers
[22:15] <dj_> also another issue I have is using conduit toolbars in ubuntu,the radio player does not appear to work,anyone know of a plugin that might get it working in firefox?
[22:15] <RealOpty> t
[22:15] <falconic> ZykoticK9: Do u have any idea on how to solve the pulseaudio issue ? I have searched forums..and people ahjve reported the same issue..but no solution till now :(
[22:15] <hylian> dj_ don't know if this is what you are looking for but this is supposed to help you if you are using 10.04 and need python 2.5:http://jordilin.wordpress.com/2010/05/02/python2-4-python2-5-and-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx/
[22:15] <entropia> erUSUL, yea i know
[22:15] <Dr_Willis> dustin:  clarify the question please.
[22:15] <RealOpty> asdf
[22:15] <dj_> ZykoticK9, you are probably right,I am just use to it and you know how that goes
[22:15] <aaron__> Does anyone know how to make Ubuntu ignore a corrupted NTFS Hard Drive on boot? (I'm booting from a flash drive)...
[22:15] <entropia> erUSUL, i will search in google
[22:15] <jfx_> does any one no why my wireless cuts out about every 5 mins
[22:15] <ZykoticK9> falconic, sorry man, no idea(s)
[22:16] <Stavros> i have an installed package i want to upgrade from source, how can i easily do this?
[22:16] <erUSUL> jfx_: see if there is a clue in dmesg or /var/log/messages
[22:16] <ZykoticK9> dj_, the familiar is always easier, until you need to find something new :)
[22:16] <falconic> ZykoticK9: Any directions on where to look for this.. or who may be able to help ?
[22:16] <erUSUL> !backports | Stavros
[22:16] <erUSUL> !ppa > Stavros
[22:16] <dustin>  pulseaudio issue its very touchy, just drop it and get something else
[22:16] <sjm> dustin, try installing "lubuntu" which is designed to be a "lighter" packaging of ubuntu for older computers and netbooks/nettops
[22:16] <Stavros> erUSUL: ah, thank you
[22:17] <dj_> thanks hylian for the link bookmarked it for later research
[22:17] <devin> i am trying to follow the instructions to fix my sound problem and it says to open a file /usr/share/doc/alsa-base/driver/HD-Audio-Models.txt.gz but i can't because the permissions are -rw-r--r-- 1 root root and it won't let me change them. I tried using sudo but it said "command not found"
[22:17] <dustin> falcon?
[22:17] <ZykoticK9> falconic, not really.  Hope someone who knows more about solving sound problems answers you ;)  Best of luck man.
[22:17] <erUSUL> Stavros: compiling from source should be allways the last option
[22:17] <hylian> dj_ hope that works for you.
[22:17] <Stavros> erUSUL: the package doesn't have a backport or ppa :/
[22:17] <dj_> ZykoticK9, I am spoiled by ultamatix's ppa's it has
[22:17] <sjm> devin: sudo less /path/to/file
[22:17] <erUSUL> Stavros: getdeb ?
[22:18] <Dr_Willis> dj_:  you can just take the sources.list from ultamatix or whatever.. and copuy them over,.
[22:18] <aaron__>  Does anyone know how to make grub ignore a corrupted NTFS Hard Drive on boot? (I'm booting from a flash drive)..
[22:18] <guest1> Can I use GNOME themes in Xubuntu (at work)?
[22:18] <Stavros> erUSUL: what's that?
[22:18] <dj_> it has amarok 1.4 fast forward,pidgin etc that i like
[22:18] <dustin> falconic xubuntu is better when it came to that
[22:18] <monkey_dust> is ultamatix still supported?
[22:18] <entropia> erUSUL, i fix it
[22:18] <erUSUL> devin: it is readable by anyone; you do not have to modify it. what is the problem ?
[22:18] <ZykoticK9> dj_, i'd just try to find the PPA you want from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas or see if they are in Ubuntu-Tweak
[22:18] <erUSUL> Stavros: a site with debs for ubuntu
[22:18] <Dr_Willis> guest1:  the 2 use  gtk  so yes.. they do sort of share that.
[22:18] <hylian> does anyone know of a way to run windows apps besides wine? my friend said there was another option (not vbox) that ran smoother than wine.
[22:18] <Stavros> erUSUL: oh, that's great
[22:18] <entropia> erUSUL, cal -m 2010 | sed -n -e "2,33 p"  | awk '{print $7}'
[22:18] <guest1> thanx
[22:19] <Stavros> erUSUL: no though :/

[22:19] <tetrahedron> like in terminal

[22:19] <devin> erUSUL, you're not on the same page as me
[22:19] <PinkBunny> Help please female in distress
[22:19] <tetrahedron> i c

[22:21] <devin> erUSUL oh sorry i see i was wrong
[22:21] <brontosaurusrex> tetrahedron: in nautilus i happen to have right-mouse-click/compress
[22:21] <erUSUL> devin: i know the page and i repeat. you do not have to modify /usr/share/doc/alsa-base/driver/HD-Audio-Models.txt.gz you have to modify /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
[22:21] <erUSUL> devin: and the page explains how
[22:21] <cutiyar_> how to recovery usb flash?
[22:21] <devin> erUSUL however, when i tried using sudo less to read the thing and it gave me 1000 pages of binary
[22:21] <hylian> sheepz this is probably a dumb question, but did you install guest additions?
[22:21] <ZykoticK9> tetrahedron, looks like "zip OUTPUT.zip directory/" works.  "zip -h" for more :)
[22:21] <dj_> I am running a 733 mhz 512 ram system so I gotta be choosy what I run lol
[22:21] <erUSUL> devin: becouse is a gziped file ( is compressed) use zless
[22:21] <sheepz> hylian, wmvare-tools?
[22:21] <Stavros> is there a way for me to downgrade a package to a previous version?
[22:22] <hylian> sheepz oops
[22:22] <aaron__> How do you get grub to ignore a corrupted hard drive?
[22:22] <devin> erUSUL how do i get out of the 1000 pages thing?
[22:22] <erUSUL> Stavros: aptitude install package=version
[22:22] <Stavros> erUSUL: ah, thank you
[22:22] <erUSUL> devin: press "q"
[22:22] <Stavros> erUSUL: any way to see available versions?
[22:22] <PinkBunny> Anyone know why my wireless dongle wont pick up on any local networks? I know they're there
[22:22] <erUSUL> Stavros: apt-cache policy package
[22:22] <Stavros> thank you
[22:23] <Flare183> PinkBunny: you need samba
[22:23] <erUSUL> PinkBunny: do « sudo iwlist wlan0 scan » do the networks appear there ?
[22:23] <hylian> sheepz looks like it doesnt like the netcard, which you are probably saying 'no duh' too right now. dont know that program, but can you disable the card for now untill after install?
[22:23] <Sasquatch7> When I boot into ubuntu sometimes the bootup stalls at the plymouth splash screen. I have searched the forums thoroughly and can't seem to find out how to fix this. Anyone having the same issue?

[22:28] <erUSUL> pyrophelia: it all depends. can you use globs to list them easily ?
[22:28] <Flare183> w0_: pastebin your dmesg

[22:28] <shauno> pyrophelia: you can include as many file specifications as you like.  eg, tar -cf targetfile a* b* c*
[22:28] <hylian> DanielSada i have this here, both for the splash screen and for the plymouth image in 10.04: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-do-you-change-the-boot-splash-screen-image-for-10-04-lucid-lynx.html

[22:28] <sjm> PinkBunny, I just installed a RaLink Technology dongle, but can't remember all I did to get it to function.  I do know it's possible.
[22:28] <erUSUL> pyrophelia: ls *.mp3 << this is a glob
[22:28] <Dr_Willis> pyrophelia:  regular expressions and 'file globbing' bash feature - are some handy skills also. :)
[22:28] <PinkBunny> erUSUL, http://pastebin.com/1YcXQyiz
[22:29] <Flare183> w0_: open up a terminal, install pastebinit, then do this: dmesg | pastebinit
[22:29] <pyrophelia> erUSUL, negative.  They're folders from hard drives so the contents is anything and everything
[22:29] <PinkBunny> sjm, :)

[22:29] <w0_> flare: tanks .. <working>
[22:29] <shauno> DrSp0ckk: I don't believe there is a default.  it's never installed with the OS, so which ftpd is installed after-the-fact is your choice
[22:29] <Flare183> shauno: I use proftpd
[22:29] <Dr_Willis> pyrophelia:  you have tio some how tell the tools what files to use.. thats going to be the core of your problem.

[22:29] <peripher4l> how to make grub ignore corrupted hard drive? (booting from flash drive)
[22:29] <DrSp0ckk> shauno: There is; it's vsFTPd - Very Small FTP.

[22:30] <morgan> i tryd doing that and nothing happens
[22:30] <erUSUL> morgan: network still disabled ?
[22:30] <sjm> PinkBunny, I'm not on that computer, but do an lsmod.
[22:30] <guest1> chmod 777 folder
[22:30] <devin> erUSUL the closest model to mine in the list is Macbook 5,1 but i have a Macbook 4,1 does that make a difference?
[22:30] <brontosaurusrex> pyrophelia: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/glob
[22:31] <morgan> yes
[22:31] <PinkBunny> sjm, lsmod?
[22:31] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo

[22:32] <wasutton3> I have a problem with installing/removing/purging sshfs. for whatever reason, when i try to install it, it gets stuck on the configuring step (so much so i have to kill it)
[22:32] <vintner> im getting permission denied errors when trying to move folders even though im logged in as admin. any ideas?
[22:32] <morgan> i made sure that networking was enabled
[22:32] <erUSUL> PinkBunny: i would first install this package linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic
[22:32] <hylian> vintner, you might need to have permissions, and what do you mean, your logged in as admin, as root? i didn't think you could do that in ubuntu...??
[22:32] <erUSUL> PinkBunny: newer driver may fix it
[22:32] <shauno> vintner: any folders in particular?
[22:32] <ActionParsnip> vintner: run: gksudo nautilus   you can do as you wish, your user is only a user but can use sudo and gksudo to get extra access
[22:32] <ChogyDan> peripher4l: I feel for you.  Are there error msgs?
[22:33] <vintner> i changed my user account to administrator
[22:33] <peripher4l> help plz?
[22:33] <sjm> PinkBunny, erUSUL do the search on the RT2870,  That's what gave me the answer for mine.  You have to prohibit a couple of modules loading on startup because they conflict with the one needed to make it work.
[22:33] <hylian> !root
[22:33] <erUSUL> sjm: ok; i leave it in your hands
[22:33] <devin> erUSUL the closest model to mine in the list is Macbook 5,1 but i have a Macbook 4,1 does that make a difference?
[22:33] <erUSUL> PinkBunny: sjm hava had the same problem; can help you better
[22:33] <sjm> PinkBunny, pastebin the output of the lsmod and I may remember exactly what I did
[22:33] <erUSUL> PinkBunny: sjm good luck
[22:33] <DanielSada> hylian, Thanks =D
[22:34] <hylian> DanielSada no problem
[22:34] <ActionParsnip> wasutton3: use this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/adobe-flashplugin/+bug/371890  but change the package name to the one you are having issues with, you will be fine
[22:35] <vintner> AP, that did it. do i have to do that everytime or ?
[22:35] <znake> f
[22:35] <morgan> and i have tryed reinstalling the os and it will work for a day then disable its self again
[22:35] <ActionParsnip> vintner: yes, or it will execute as your user
[22:35] <ActionParsnip> vintner: ONLY run it that way if you need he extra powers
[22:35] <sjm> PinkBunny, how are you at editing text files?
[22:36] <vintner> ok. its only my htpc, gonna be a pain when i have to move files, folders, etc
[22:36] <devin> okay, if you won't answer me erUSUL, does anybody know whether it makes a difference that in /usr/share/doc/alsa-base/driver/HD-Audio-Models.txt.gz my exact Macbook model is not listed?

[22:37] <guest1> there a lot of articles 'bout skype
[22:37] <online> any suggestions or solutions?
[22:37] <online> or assistance
[22:37] <ActionParsnip> online: is your mic muted at all, are you using a 64bit ubuntu?
[22:37] <peripher4l> help please!
[22:37] <online> yes
[22:37] <guest1> you neуd to add some words in congig file
[22:38] <devin> erUSUL i also found MacBook 3,1 maybe i should go with that one because it's more likely the older model would be the same?
[22:38] <Dr_Willis> peripher4l:  its better to nicely rephrase/clariofy your question - instead of just going 'please help'
[22:38] <erUSUL> devin: you can try that and some of the generic ones
[22:38] <sjm> PinkBunny, you need to blacklist the startup of modules rt2x00usb
[22:38] <sjm>  rt2x00lib
[22:38] <sjm>  rt2800usb
[22:38] <sjm>  so they don't conflict with rt2870sta
[22:38] <PinkBunny> erUSUL,  thanks alot for your help :)
[22:38] <FloodBot1> sjm: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:38] <erUSUL> PinkBunny: no problem
[22:38] <ActionParsnip> !sound | online
[22:38] <peripher4l> Dr_Willis: sorry, it's just i posted my question four times already... How can you make grub ignore a corrupted hard drive?
[22:38] <ActionParsnip> online: do you use a creative audigy sound card?
[22:39] <online> no
[22:39] <PinkBunny> sjm, Am new to this so alittle more a little slower please
[22:39] <ActionParsnip> online: good, that helps a LOT
[22:39] <shauno> devin: I believe the soundcard in macbook 4,1 is almost identical to macbook 3,1; this may aid your search
[22:39] <Dr_Willis> peripher4l:  from what i know.. grub shouldent be getting affected by a Currupted ntfs at all.
[22:39] <Dr_Willis> peripher4l:  so perhaps clarify what its doing and how.
[22:40] <ZykoticK9> online, "lspci | grep -i audio"
[22:40] <peripher4l> Dr_Wills: It keeps returning a "DRDY_ERROR" or something similar, and won't boot.
[22:40] <hylian> online this might help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=353053
[22:40] <sjm> PinkBunny, you will need to edit a configuration file or two.  can you pastebin the output of "lsmod | grep rt" please?
[22:40] <Dr_Willis> peripher4l:  What keeps returning that and when/where ?
[22:40] <erUSUL> peripher4l: that are errors from the sata/pata driver and can mean a dying hard drive loose cables etc depending on the exact wording of the errors
[22:40] <ennui> I have an external hard drive which I do not have RW permissions on. In GParted it shows as "unknown file system" and I can't seem to use chown on it. It was originally used on an OSX machine. Any ideas as to how I could change the permissions without formating the drive?
[22:41] <sjm> peripher4l, ( Dr_Willis ) did you try setting the BIOS to boot from USB?
[22:41] <peripher4l> Dr_Willis: When I boot from my flash drive, the Ubuntu "slider bar" moves back and forth (9.04), but after a while, the terminal appears and keeps returning the DRDY_error
[22:41] <erUSUL> peripher4l: https://ata.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Libata_error_messages
[22:41] <PinkBunny> sjm, http://pastebin.com/Rn2zZNii
[22:41] <ZykoticK9> ennui, not sure - but i don't think linux has native support for mac file systems, thus "unknown file system".  I doubt it's a permission issue.
[22:42] <online> if igo search ican see just ALSA
[22:42] <shauno> ennui: I believe if the filesystem has journalling enabled, write support isn't provided by the driver.  If you still have access to an osx machine, you can disable journalling non-destructively
[22:42] <hylian> ennui is it in an apple format? or ext 3-4 or ntfs? (maybe i mean what was it?)
[22:42] <Dr_Willis> peripher4l:  if you see teh ubuntu anuimation.. its past Grub.. so  your question is basically wrong. Grub is not being affected.. ubuntu ,or somthing else is..
[22:42] <Dr_Willis> peripher4l:  you are trying to recvover information from that ntfs disk? or what exactly?
[22:43] <peripher4l> Dr_Willis: My Friend dropped his laptop, so I'm trying to recover his data...
[22:43] <ennui> shauno: I went into OSX and, with disk utility, disabled journaling on this drive so i don't think thats the problem at the moment
[22:43] <ActionParsnip> online: thats as much as I know. Ive never had a single sound issue
[22:43] <ActionParsnip> online: does the mic work in other apps?
[22:43] <Dr_Willis> peripher4l:  i would suggest putting the drive into a usb enclosuer. booting up a ubuntu system, and trying to 'dd' the drive to a image file. then recvover from that image file
[22:43] <Dr_Willis> peripher4l:  its very possible that HD is dead.
[22:43] <ennui> hylian: GParted won't list the format as I think the partition table is funky... any way to see the format from the command line? 'mount' and 'fdisk' didn't show me the format
[22:44] <ActionParsnip> peripher4l: have you berrated him about the virtues of backups?
[22:44] <Dr_Willis> peripher4l:  its also possible the drive has came loose from the mb. or other damage to the laptops internals
[22:44] <ZykoticK9> ennui, "sudo fdisk -l"
[22:44] <hylian> ennui do you have another medium with the amount of disc space needed, maybe you could run a file recovery tool and then format afterwards?
[22:45] <ActionParsnip> peripher4l: if there was a backup system in place then there would be no issue of data retrieval
[22:45] <jjmartin_> i am running an update and I have this window for grub asking to install on partitions. currently the / partition is checked. should I leave it as is ?
[22:45] <shauno> ennui: have you tried specifying the filesystem with mount -t hfsplus  ?
[22:45] <ZykoticK9> hylian, why are you suggesting that?  ennui can see the drive in OSX obviously if they can turn journalling on/off
[22:45] <sjm> PinkBunny, just a sec...   looking at something...
[22:45] <peripher4l> Dr_Willis: I'm pretty sure the drive is 'zombied', but Windows returns a "Disk Read" Error and Ctrl-Alt-Delete restart message on startup...
[22:45] <w0_> Flare183: any luch?
[22:45] <Dr_Willis> jjmartin_:  one normally installs grub to the HD you boot from
[22:45] <w0_> Flare183: luch > luck
[22:45] <ennui> hylian: unfortunatly I am broke and I don't have another drive to store this data so I can reformat the drive
[22:45] <ashley85> can any one help me with my network card problem?
[22:45] <ActionParsnip> jjmartin_: default is usually fine
[22:45] <PinkBunny> sjm, ok
[22:46] <peripher4l> ActionParsnip: I'm at math camp, and so he can't access any form of backup.  :(
[22:46] <slidinghorn> !anyone | ashley85 :)
[22:46] <Stavros> does anyone know the settings for compiling packages for ubuntu from source?
[22:46] <ActionParsnip> ashley85: you havent asked yet so we'll never know
[22:46] <Stavros> i mean --prefix and the like
[22:46] <jjmartin_> ActionParsnip, why would i be prompt to install it in the same place again?
[22:46] <Dr_Willis> peripher4l:  its possible some other disrtos may skip the disk checking/trying to mount features of ubuntu. You could try tinycore linux, or that system-rescue live cd setup.
[22:46] <Jordan_U> jjmartin_: It's *not* telling you to install to all partitions.
[22:46] <ActionParsnip> peripher4l: you can take a small USB drive to back up to which is USB powered, costs pence and saves heartache
[22:47] <hylian> ennui how much freespace is there on that drive, did gparted tell you?
[22:47] <ZykoticK9> ennui, the drive would need to be formatted to NTFS or FAT to be compatible with both MAC and Linux, i think the problem right now is that it is formatted for Mac only.  Good luck man (i don't own any Apple stuff, so i could easily be wrong)
[22:47] <jjmartin_> Jordan_U, correct
[22:47] <shauno> Stavros: compiling to install locally? or trying to build packages
[22:47] <Jordan_U> jjmartin_: You almost never want to install grub to a partition, just install to the mbr of your boot drive, which is probably what is currently selected.
[22:47] <ashley85> my network card has stoped working and i cant get it to enable its self
[22:47] <ActionParsnip> jjmartin_: because its coded to install to the same disk you installed ubuntu to by default, the alternate ISO lets you choose the disk as you wish
[22:47] <ennui> hylian: gparted doesn't say but my file browser shows over 14G free
[22:47] <peripher4l> Dr_WIllis: I'm in Fedora right now, but it's not too efficient, and many things, like wlan, don't work (I do have an ethernet cable for now, though...)
[22:47] <peripher4l> ActionParsnip: I know, but how much of 320GB can you fit on a flash drive?
[22:48] <Stavros> shauno: well, i'm compiling to install and then using checkinstall to build a package
[22:48] <Tazzypillar> Does anyone know how to improve an macbooks intel core 2 duo's performance on ubuntu
[22:48] <jjmartin_> hmmm
[22:48] <ennui> ZykoticK9: I have a second external that is the same format, and originally used with a mac and I have RW permissions working on that one so I don't think that is the case
[22:48] <ZykoticK9> peripher4l, not to be rude, but if you are using Fedora what are you doing here?
[22:48] <peripher4l> ActionParsnip: Even a full size drive won't fit everything, besides: he's not a computer 'tinkerer' like me, he doesn't know the consequencees...
[22:49] <AndyGraybeal> is there any reason not to have a RAID10 array with LVM and ext4 filesystem on top?
[22:49] <peripher4l> ZykoticK9: I can only boot from Fedora, but i'm having trouble with Ubuntu (both on flash drives...)
[22:49] <Jordan_U> AndyGraybeal: Just avoid FakeRAID.
[22:49] <AndyGraybeal> Jordan_U: thank you for mentioning that, i am using softwareraid.
[22:50] <Tazzypillar> No one? :(
[22:50] <zack1> whenever I try to run sudo fsck /dev/sda5 on this unmounted volume i get the following error:  "fsck: fsck.lvm2pv: not found fsck: Error 2 while executing fsck.lvm2pv for /dev/sda5"
[22:50] <AndyGraybeal> Jordan_U: do you have RAID10 setup with LVM and ext4?
[22:50] <shauno> Stavros: not familiar with that route.  I'd usually use debuild and let debian/rules take care of prefixes
[22:50] <ZykoticK9> peripher4l, I'll guess a Plymouth problem ;)  Sorry man, just checkin' - you're perfectly entitled to be here - so long as you're working on booting Ubuntu ;)
[22:50] <hylian> ennui the only thing i could suggest at this moment is to make a second partition with the free space, if it lets you without formatting, and then run something to try and recover those files. under the ubuntu software center there is a lot of file recovery tools, ofcoarse you wheren't certain of the type of format you had, so that might be tricky.
[22:50] <Tazzypillar> Wait
[22:50] <Stavros> shauno: oh, i don't know what that is, do you have some more info?
[22:51] <Tazzypillar> Wuts his problem?
[22:51] <Jordan_U> AndyGraybeal: No, But I have one machine with ext4 over RAID 1+0 and another with ext4 over LVM :)
[22:51] <Tazzypillar> i dont suppose hes booting into low graphics mode?
[22:51] <zack1> I using a live cd and cant get FSCK to work. Whenever I try to run sudo fsck /dev/sda5 on this unmounted volume i get the following error:  "fsck: fsck.lvm2pv: not found fsck: Error 2 while executing fsck.lvm2pv for /dev/sda5"
[22:51] <shauno> Stavros: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide   oodles of info
[22:51] <Tazzypillar> peripher4l: is your problem that you're booting into low graphics mode? :x
[22:51] <ActionParsnip> peripher4l: if his data is important to him, he should have a backup. The drive motor could fail and then no amount of software will retrieve the data and yu wil be shelling out THOUSANDS of dollars for professional (and non-garunteed) data retieval rather than a couple HUNDRED on a chep USB drive
[22:51] <dragondon> greetings all!
[22:51] <AndyGraybeal> thank you Jordan_U
[22:51] <hylian> ennui i have read good things about testdisk, but i have never had the need/misfortune to have to try it out, im afraid thats the best i can do...
[22:52] <Jordan_U> AndyGraybeal: You're welcome.
[22:52] <sjm> pinkbunny, still looking for easy instructions based on what you posted
[22:52] <hylian> can anyone suggest a good file recovery tool for ubuntu?
[22:52] <dragondon> hylian: dd?
[22:52] <Stavros> shauno: thank you
[22:52] <peripher4l> ActionParsnip: I realize that... but at least it's only a couple of music files... I hope it doesn't cause too much trouble..
[22:52] <ennui> hylian: I need to save up for another drive so I can transfer the data from this one and reformat
[22:52] <AndyGraybeal> Jordan_U: do you use GPT or MBR?
[22:53] <ActionParsnip> zack1: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-968222.html
[22:53] <Jordan_U> AndyGraybeal: GPT
[22:53] <ZykoticK9> hylian, your testdisk/photorec suggestion is a good one
[22:53] <AndyGraybeal> Jordan_U: thank you.
[22:53] <Jordan_U> AndyGraybeal: You're welcome.
[22:53] <peripher4l> Tazzypillar: I haven't selected any special boot options... And what does it have to do with the drive?
[22:53] <ActionParsnip> peripher4l: i'd warn him as a precaution.  I think it has died... D:
[22:53] <hylian> thanks guys, looks like testdisk is a good choice. sorry i couldnt help more ennui.
[22:53] <Tazzypillar> oh, no, it doesnt. I just heard plymouth error and thought you might be having the same problem as i was
[22:54] <Tazzypillar> apparently not though
[22:54] <ActionParsnip> peripher4l: then you can play your card when ready (if you wish)
[22:54] <peripher4l> Dr_Willis: Isn't there another fix (grub option, kernel command, something?) to ignore any hard drives?
[22:54] <shauno> ennui: sorry, I lost track; have you managed to get the disk to mount at all?  as root-only, or as read-only ?
[22:54] <hylian> ennui i would run testdisk as is first, just to see what it can do for you, if nothing else, maybe it can give you some information.
[22:54] <peripher4l> ActionParsnip: True...
[22:54] <uhantu> helo
[22:54] <dragondon> can someone help with my firewall issues.  First, it doesn't seem to autostart, which bothers me.  there's more but will do the other stuff later...
[22:55] <uhantu> anyone expert could help me
[22:55] <Jordan_U> !anyone | uhantu
[22:55] <hylian> uhantu can you be way more specific?
[22:55] <karlo> hi... is there any web site where is the list of terminal "add ons" (I do not know what is name of that xD).... like jp2a, lynx, figlet.....
[22:55] <online> yes i got it now
[22:55] <online> thsnks guys
[22:55] <uhantu> im facing dificulty
[22:55] <online> only alsa mixer
[22:55] <hylian> uhantu just tell us the problem first
[22:55] <online> just click rec box
[22:55] <ActionParsnip> dragondon: iptables starts at bootup in a default system and is your firewall
[22:56] <uhantu> i got unallocated drive for my hdisk
[22:56] <dragondon> ActionParsnip: then why is it that after everyreboot I see an inactive status until I 'sudo ufw enable'?
[22:56] <ActionParsnip> peripher4l: you may be able to use the ultimate boot cd. It may take a while to run but there may be some data recovery tools on there
[22:56] <Tazzypillar> um, is there any way to like improve my cpu performance in ubuntu?
[22:56] <uhantu> please pm me
[22:56] <Tazzypillar> like better drivers or something
[22:57] <dragondon> ummm....confusing iptables and ufw?  two different things?
[22:57] <karlo> hi... is there any web site where is the list of terminal "add ons" (I do not know what is name of that xD).... like jp2a, lynx, figlet.....
[22:57] <ActionParsnip> dragondon: weird, then add: ufw enable   in /etc/rc.local    and it will run
[22:57] <ChogyDan> Tazzypillar: why kind o cpu?
[22:57] <hylian> uhantu unallocated simply means that you havent formatted or partitioned it yet. is that what you mean?
[22:57] <zack1> ActionParsnip: i installed lvm2, but i dont know how that solved anything. the link you sent me to mentioned system-config-lvm but that isnt a package
[22:57] <ZykoticK9> !repeat | karlo
[22:57] <peripher4l> ActionParsnip: I know about the ubcd, unfortunately, i do not currently have any cds or ubcd, so i cannot do that.  Thanks anyways!
[22:57] <Tazzypillar> well, I run an Intel Core 2 duo
[22:57] <shauno> Tazzypillar, if it's a mobile (eg, laptop/netbook/etc), you probably want to read into the power-saving / cpu-scaling options available.  it may be running in a lower-power mode and not giving you it's full potential
[22:58] <ZykoticK9> karlo, you might want to search Ubuntu Software Center for console and/or ncurse for terminal software
[22:58] <Tazzypillar> ah
[22:58] <Tazzypillar> how do i adjust that? ;x
[22:58] <karlo> ok
[22:58] <Tazzypillar> I'm running on a macbook
[22:58] <ActionParsnip> peripher4l: usb boot one then :)
[22:58] <Tazzypillar> Late 2008 macbook
[22:58] <uhantu> yeah.. but i've already installs ubuntu and win xp
[22:58] <ChogyDan> Tazzypillar: ck patchset improves things for me.  Also the cpu/power saving scaling options give me a boot.  I use conservative, but it always is changin
[22:58] <shauno> Tazzypillar: no idea, I run ubuntu on servers, not laptops.  I just suggest it as a possible starting point for searches :)
[22:58] <ActionParsnip> zack1: i have no knowledge of lvm so doubt it was me
[22:58] <uhantu> initially win xp
[22:58] <uhantu> then ubuntu
[22:59] <peripher4l> ActionParsnip: Is that possible?
[22:59] <dragondon> ActionParsnip: thanks
[22:59] <chadi> I pre-loaded ubuntu on a USB flash drive, then tried to boot from it, but the screen went black - not a black color, it's as if the screen was turned off -- I tried another USB port, another USB loader (UNetBootin), all failed. Would a CD work?
[22:59] <ActionParsnip> peripher4l: sure, you can put any bootable ISO on a usb stick / SD card / CF card / whatever
[22:59] <devin> chadi the same thing happened to me and the CD worked
[22:59] <Tazzypillar> Ah, alright shauno, thanks~ ChogyDan, can you tell me more about those settings? I really don't know anything about power saving options and stuff
[22:59] <uhantu> i wish to recover my win xp
[22:59] <ChogyDan> Tazzypillar: right click on panel, Add to panel..., CPU frequency scaling monitor, do that twice.  Set both to conservative
[22:59] <Tazzypillar> and my main interest is pushing my performance so that i can play my wine games well
[22:59] <hylian> uhantu, what are you trying to do, is there an error you are trying to fix? or are you trying to use all of your hard drive?
[22:59] <chadi> devin: any idea what is wrong with teh USB?
[23:00] <peripher4l> ActionParsnip: Oic... How? any softwarez?
[23:00] <uhantu> i would like to fix
[23:00] <ChogyDan> Tazzypillar: or rather, enough times for each core
[23:00] <dragondon> so, for my next 'failed trick', my iptables has a LOT of rules and I am not sure where they are coming from.  I have deleted them and they reappear.  If it helps, I am running Transmission for torrent files.  http://paste.ubuntu.com/469556/
[23:00] <hylian> uhantu you would like to fix what?
[23:00] <uhantu> i still can see my docement in harddrive
[23:00] <devin> chadi my friend said it was probably due to my bios not wanting to boot from usb devices but he wasn't sure
[23:00] <uhantu> my hardisk
[23:00] <dustin> you can put any bootable ISO on a usb stick / SD card?
[23:00] <ChogyDan> Tazzypillar: I wouldn't try too hard for gaming, just use windows
[23:00] <hylian> !es | uhantu
[23:00] <ZykoticK9> uhantu, if "unallocated drive" is a windows error try asking in ##windows
[23:01] <uhantu> english please
[23:01] <hylian> oops
[23:01] <ActionParsnip> peripher4l: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/install-and-boot-ultimate-boot-cd-ubcd-from-a-usb-device/
[23:01] <uhantu> actually i try find way in ubuntu
[23:01] <Tazzypillar> Chogy: I would, but I don't have a copy and even if I did i cant really see myself booting into windows just to game something
[23:01] <sjm> PinkBunny, you need to install the rt2870sta module, but I'm having a little trouble finding an easy instruction place to install it.  It doesn't look like it is in the repositories.
[23:01] <hylian> uhantu what is sayig that the drive is unallocated? ubuntu, windows?
[23:01] <uhantu> since i descover unallocated in gparted
[23:01] <chadi> devin: but the BIOS booted fine from the USB until the failure
[23:02] <peripher4l> ActionParsnip: Cool Thanks!
[23:02] <ActionParsnip> zack1: add an ampersand to the end of the line too! or the boot will hang
[23:02] <Tazzypillar> Thanks anyhow though, I'll try this :x
[23:02] <hylian> uhantu, thank you. ok. how much is unallocated?>
[23:02] <uhantu> all of the disk
[23:02] <sjm> PinkBunny, then you need to blacklist the current drivers (rt2800usb,rt2x00usb,rt2x00lib)
[23:02] <devin> chadi yeah i was able to boot ubuntu 9.10 from the usb but not 10.04, so that's why i'm not at all sure it was the bios
[23:02] <hylian> uhantu do you have a second disk? a storage disk?
[23:02] <sjm> PinkBunny, and things should work.
[23:03] <uhantu> i can boot to win xp.. but end at blue scree death
[23:03] <devin> chadi what hardware do you have?
[23:03] <uhantu> i just have pendrice
[23:03] <hylian> uhantu do you have 2 hard drives?
[23:03] <uhantu> i just have pendrive
[23:03] <chadi> devin: well, it's not me .. it's a friend with a new toshiba laptop
[23:03] <uhantu> 2gb pendrive
[23:03] <sweetpi> devin: sorry about last night. my net went out. did you get it fixed?
[23:03] <sjm> anyone here know if the rt2870sta driver is packaged in an ubuntu deb in the repositories (or know of a quick way to find out?)
[23:04] <PinkBunny> sjm, OK, If a vet like you can't find the driver, what chance do i have lol
[23:04] <hylian> uhantu so the pendrive is unallocated?
[23:04] <devin> sweetpi yeah i ended up going into the mac side and changing the permissions there
[23:04] <dustin>   toshiba laptop
[23:04] <dustin> ??
[23:04] <uhantu> the pendrive is ok
[23:04] <uhantu> but my hardrive is not ok
[23:04] <sjm> PinkBunny, I can't remember if I loaded it from a repo or downloaded it directly.  but I did get it installed.
[23:04] <devin> chadi then probably your problem is different from mine and you should ask again from other people, sorry
[23:04] <hylian> uhantu so do you have ubuntu installed to the hard drive?
[23:04] <sjm> and my dongle is working fine.
[23:04] <uhantu> i try to fix my hardrive
[23:05] <sjm> PinkBunny, but that dongle is on the home desktop computer.
[23:05] <Alaric`> I have a networking problem on a Thinkpad R50 running Ubuntu 10.04.  Several days after I installed it, Ubuntu apparently Just Decided, on its own, to disable networking for all users, and I can't find any way to re-enable it.  But if I su to root and manually bring up the interface with ifconfig, it works perfectly.  Can anyone tell me why Ubuntu is disabling networking on this laptop, and more
[23:05] <Alaric`> importantly, how I can tell it to STOP disabling it?
[23:05] <uhantu> currently i use live cd
[23:05] <dustin> i had one, but the brand is set the the high end stuff is worth it,anything else is a pain, still possible
[23:05] <chadi> devin: I have a karmic livecd, i'll try it
[23:05] <ChogyDan> !who | Tazzypillar
[23:06] <sjm> PinkBunny, you can try this page: http://ubunturt2870.pbworks.com/FrontPage
[23:06] <Alaric`> I should add that all users defined on the machine have privileges to connect to wired and wireless networks, share files on the network, etc, etc, etc.
[23:06] <uhantu> previously i install, and terribly delete the ubuntu in win xp
[23:06] <AndyGraybeal> what is the partition program that the ubuntu install runs called?
[23:06] <Tazzypillar> Oh right, sorry! ;w;
[23:06] <devin> so i am still having speaker crackle if i turn the sound up above halfway on the linux side, but the mac side is fine
[23:06] <soulfuric> hello everyone!!
[23:06] <hylian> uhantu, do you want to install ubuntu permanently, or did you just want to format that drive? or did you want to fix a windows problem?
[23:06] <frots> can I have some aids on bash?
[23:07] <dezine> KDE has a nice little settings center, anything I can get for gnome that has everything in one place?
[23:07] <Alaric`> AndyGraybeal, gparted
[23:07] <PinkBunny> sjm, Thanks, Am lookiing at it now :)
[23:07] <frots> dezine: there is this toolkit called configurationaids
[23:07] <hylian> soulfuric hello
[23:07] <AndyGraybeal> thank you alaric
[23:08] <dustin> ubuntu softwrae center
[23:08] <sjm> PinkBunny, but I think I installed a package rather than downloading and compiling the driver.
[23:08] <dustin> dezine,
[23:08] <sjm> PinkBunny, it's in a non-free package, that I need to find again.
[23:08] <uhantu> i want to fix window problem
[23:08] <CkhiKuzad> does ubuntu have an installer that is like a netinstall, but also like a livecd. as in it has everything for the full install in the iso, but no GUI crap for the installing process?
[23:08] <CkhiKuzad> and please dont ![whatever] me.
[23:08] <dustin> ubuntu softwrae center dezine,
[23:08] <uhantu> i still can see window file
[23:09] <mikeconcepts> anyone know of a site that lists really awesome addons like docky, gnome-do, whatever?
[23:09] <frots> !whatever CkhiKuzad
[23:09] <erUSUL> CkhiKuzad: alternate cd
[23:09] <hylian> uhantu this is the ubuntu server
[23:09] <frots> erUSUL: are you from turkey?
[23:09] <hylian> !windows
[23:09] <ZykoticK9> Temperatures missing in Conky Ubuntu Lucid Theme.  Screenshot at http://imagebin.org/106774  conkyrc at http://pastebin.com/JFHnjKnw  I assume the problem lies in "CPU: ${goto 868}${execi 4 sensors | grep -A 0 'temp2' | cut -c15-18} ºC" as running "sensors | grep -A 0 'temp2' | cut -c15-18" in a terminal returns nothing.  Output of "sensors" at http://paste.ubuntu.com/469117/
[23:09] <erUSUL> frots: no
[23:09] <AndyGraybeal> Alaric`: does gparted support LVM?
[23:09] <uhantu> yeah i know
[23:09] <CkhiKuzad> erUSUL, is it a netinstall, or a full 700+ megabyte CD ISO for the installer?
[23:09] <frots> oh I thought you were someone else
[23:09] <ActionParsnip> CkhiKuzad: you can use the minimal iso and instyall only what you need
[23:09] <uhantu> i think ubuntu can help to fix my hardrive
[23:09] <erUSUL> CkhiKuzad: it has everything  for the full install in the iso
[23:09] <Alaric`> anyone have any input on that networking problem?  Why would Ubuntu just flat-out disable networking on a perfectly functional interface for no apparnet reason?
[23:10] <erUSUL> CkhiKuzad: you said that not me
[23:10] <frots> Can anyone get hilter to work on KDE ?
[23:10] <uhantu> so can still use my win xp for 1st OS
[23:10] <AndyGraybeal> what is the command line partitioning program that automatically comes up in the Ubuntu Server install?
[23:10] <ZykoticK9> Alaric`, kenel update broke your nic?  one suggestion.
[23:10] <hylian> uhantu maybe it can. you get blue screen of death, hmm. have the original windows cd? or a backup on your hard disks?
[23:10] <CkhiKuzad> AndyGraybeal, i think its parted
[23:10] <dezine> nvm, gnome-control-center seems to be what I wanted, thanks
[23:10] <uhantu> actually i would like to have two os in 1 hardrive
[23:10] <AndyGraybeal> CkhiKuzad: parted doesn't look like it.. seems like a different interface
[23:11] <erUSUL> !dualboot | uhantu
[23:11] <Alaric`> ZykoticK9, but I can bring the interface up without any problem at all using ifconfig from a shell.
[23:11] <CkhiKuzad> AndyGraybeal, i dont know then
[23:11] <Hotzenplotzz> hi@all
[23:11] <Alaric`> but NetworkManager won't allow anyone to connect to anything.
[23:11] <ZykoticK9> Alaric`, then my example explanation doesn't fit ;)
[23:11] <hylian> uhantu actually thats not that hard. first you need to install windows, then if the other od is ubuntu, it can do that for you automatically, making 2 partitions.
[23:11] <ActionParsnip> AndyGraybeal: try wicd then, it can use any interface name you like
[23:11] <Alaric`> is there a BigStickToBeatNetworkManager with tool...?  :)
[23:12] <dragondon> anyone know what this means: "gedit iptables.txt
[23:12] <dragondon> (gedit:5950): EggSMClient-WARNING **: Failed to connect to the session manager: None of the authentication protocols specified are supported
[23:12] <dragondon> "
[23:12] <uhantu> i want to recover the unallocated
[23:12] <hylian> uhantu this is a very nice guide on how to do that: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot
[23:12] <user> HI
[23:13] <PinkBunny> sjm, I got the driver, but the instructions on how to install it are baffling.
[23:13] <devin> system -> preferences -> sound just gives me "Waiting for sound system to respond," is this because i got rid of pulseaudio?
[23:13] <dustin> alaric, because laptops and netbook, are very ify, pluh it into lan and update it (sytem first, hardware drivers and whatever else),in every possible way,its what i had to do
[23:13] <monkey_dust> !hi| user
[23:13] <sjm> PinkBunny, what driver did you get?
[23:13] <uhantu> previously i am using two OS and have no problem with dualboot
[23:13] <ZykoticK9> uhantu, it's not a matter of "recover" you need to format the unallocated space into whatever filesystem type you want OR resize one of you existing partitions to use the space.
[23:13] <Alaric`> dustin, this isn't netbook remix, it's regular 10.04LTS
[23:13] <DarkNemesis> how to unzip the afghan files [in 7z format]
[23:13] <PinkBunny> sjm, 2010_0709_RT2870_Linux_STA_v<IP_ADDRESS>
[23:13] <AndyGraybeal> ActionParsnip: thank you
[23:13] <erUSUL> DarkNemesis: install 7zip-full
[23:14] <brummbaer> pinkbunny, you got issues w/ a Broadcom card in Ubuntu?
[23:14] <AndyGraybeal> ActionParsnip: maybe you meant someone else, i'm not working with wireless.
[23:14] <thune3> Alaric`: it might help to see your (in pastebin) /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf /etc/network/interfaces
[23:14] <erUSUL> DarkNemesis: is p7zip-full sorry
[23:14] <uhantu> does it no choice to me to get back my window without format
[23:14] <hylian> uhnatu sometimes if you access a ntfs partition with ubuntu, and then goto windows it has a problem. not certain why. this can sometimes be fixed by unmounting the drive before quitting ubuntu. that might help...
[23:14] <sjm> PinkBunny, just a minute, that is one that you will need to compile and  recompile each time the kernel updates through aptitude.
[23:14] <PinkBunny> brummbaer, ?????
[23:14] <PinkBunny> sjm, so don't use
[23:15] <brummbaer> PinkBunny: linux-sta? the wireless broadcom driver?
[23:15] <erUSUL> brummbaer: no; ralink chip
[23:15] <dustin> anyone that has a laptop or netbook, plug it into lan/do every possible update manually
[23:15] <PinkBunny> brummbaer, oh i see, no like erUSUL said
[23:16] <PinkBunny> I got a tp-link model TL-WN727N
[23:16] <ZykoticK9> sjm, install dkms and it "should" autocompile any ubuntu kernel requirements, not sure what program/driver you are referring too though.  Good luck.
[23:16] <kernelzilla> greetings, I was wondering if there was any way around the 10.04 installer issue with MCP67 RAID?  Partitioning fails because it's missing a 'p' in the partition name (ie /dev/mapper/nvidiabbsbsb1 instead of /dev/mapper/nvidiabsbsbp1)
[23:16] <ActionParsnip> uhantu: boot to your windows install cd and you can reinstate the windows boot loader
[23:16] <brummbaer> erUSUL, PinkBunny: ah, ok. i just had a major pain when the upgrade to 2.6.32-24 broke my broadcom, i ended up having to rever to 2.6.32-21 to get it working
[23:16] <kernelzilla> or character device name rather
[23:16] <uhantu> how?
[23:16] <kernelzilla> 9.10 picks it up fine
[23:17] <Alaric`> dustin, in any case, it's fully patched up to date (I have no choice about doint it over wired LAN; the wireless card in this laptop appears to have a dead transmitter)
[23:17] <M1TE5H> how 2 install gyachi in ubuntu
[23:17] <erUSUL> kernelzilla: well bios fakeraids are bound to be problematic ....
[23:17] <dustin> no, its just cuz of the os < to driver
[23:17] <Alaric`> thune3, I'll take a look at that in a second
[23:18] <kernelzilla> erUSUL, good for you, but that doesn't solve the problem that appeared in ubuntu 10.04
[23:18] <sjm> ZykoticK9, trying to find out where to get a packaged version of the rt2870sta module.
[23:18] <ZykoticK9> M1TE5H, I don't think it connects to yahoo even if you get it installed.  Think about using a more up-to-date IM program Empathy/Pidgin/etc.
[23:18] <Alaric`> hmm ...  ubuntu doesn't have a package for wgetpaste?
[23:18] <ZykoticK9> sjm, sorry man no idea.  good luck.
[23:18] <thetabyte> anyone know where I could download a huge package of screenlets? aka not individually?'
[23:18] <erUSUL> kernelzilla: fair enough; just trying to convince yu to move to linux software raid ;P if you can.
[23:18] <dustin> alaric, have you done my adivce?
[23:19] <M1TE5H> ZykoticK9: i am install gyachi 4 yahoo video chat in 9.10 but in 10.04 i caught some problems
[23:19] <hylian> uhantu this guide might help you, it's a step by step... http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/483/xp_repair_fix_master_boot_record_recovery_console/
[23:19] <Alaric`> dustin, updates?  Yes, the laptop is fully updated
[23:20] <thetabyte> anyone? =/
[23:20] <PinkBunny> sjm, The driver on the windows driver CD is called rt2870
[23:20] <Alaric`> actually, going to doublecheck one more time
[23:20] <uhantu> hylian i've already done that
[23:20] <PinkBunny> sjm, so you must be along the right lines
[23:21] <uhantu> i did fixmbr
[23:21] <realubot> Is there any bug that kill Compiz (or Gnome) when stretching a window across three wordspaces in Ubuntu?
[23:22] <erUSUL> realubot: #compiz
[23:22] <realubot> erUSUL: Ok.
[23:22] <uhantu> the mbr issue is solve
[23:22] <guest1>  thetabyte, linux users do not like screenlets
[23:22] <uhantu> but to cure unallocated i meet head blank
[23:23] <PinkBunny> The instructions are baffling to me http://ubunturt2870.pbworks.com/FrontPage
[23:23] <uhantu> i still can see the file in ntsf format
[23:24] <hylian> uhantu so does windows boot now? im guessing not, hmm, so does it try to boot and then bsod?
[23:24] <DarkNemesis> erUSUL, dank
[23:24] <shiftingcontrol> can anyone help me out how to find out what type of gpu i have?
[23:24] <erUSUL> DarkNemesis: yw
[23:24] <uhantu> yeah i got bsod
[23:25] <kernelzilla> does anyone know if the images available at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lucid/daily-live/current/   have the raid and mbr fixes?
[23:25] <erUSUL> shiftingcontrol: lspci | grep -i vga
[23:25] <uhantu> i missing my partition tree
[23:25] <Alaric`> OK, there's some new browser updates today, but that's not going to affect the networking
[23:25] <Oer> thetabyte, http://screenlets.org/index.php/Category:UserScreenlets
[23:25] <dustin> not all updates,theres always seems to be more, portable computers are more prone for this
[23:25] <PinkBunny> I have n os/linux
[23:26] <wonderwal> how can i set net.ipv4.netfilter.ip_conntrack_max value on boot? populating /etc/sysctl.conf with the setting does not work
[23:26] <uhantu> the file still in my hardrive
[23:26] <Alaric`> thune3, http://dpaste.com/222177/ for nm-system-settings.conf, http://dpaste.com/222178/ for /etc/network/interfaces ...   I immediately note eth0 is not present in interfaces
[23:26] <thetabyte> how do you do pm's? aka in this room?
[23:26] <uhantu> my partition become unallocated
[23:26] <erUSUL> thetabyte: /msg nick hello
[23:26] <erUSUL> !pm | thetabyte
[23:26] <hylian> uhantu one thing you can try is to go through the motions of re-installing windows, when it gets to the partitions screen, choose the one windows is already in, then it will ask if you want to try and repair that version. it will go through the motions like it's installing it for the first time. this is at best a desperate act, but can repair a damaged file, sometimes saving the machine from having to be formatted and reinstalled, or are you tryi
[23:26] <hylian> ng to make a partition to backup your data using ubuntu?
[23:27] <sjm> PinkBunny, sorry, I can't remember right now.  The steps are getting the rt2870sta driver, blacklisting the other drivers that conflict, and then loading unloading the drivers (or rebooting), but I can't remember where I got the rt2870sta driver from.
[23:27] <kernelzilla> this is insane, how can a stable release have such a massive pair of bugs?  why no 10.04.1 or update to the installer?
[23:28] <uhantu> yeah... im trying to saving my file
[23:28] <shiftingcontrol> erUSUL:thank yu,then i had removed dpkg manually and now when i run the synaptic and download the software i am unable to install the s/w pls help
[23:28] <kernelzilla> I mean, how can you not prioritize a bug where the installer is COMPLETELY MISSING PARTITIONS because of a missing 'p'?
[23:28] <ZykoticK9> kernelzilla, 10.04.1 due Aug 12 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MaverickReleaseSchedule
[23:28] <Stavros> what is the easiest way to create an ubuntu package if i already have a version of that package (and can copy the control files and everything)?
[23:28] <swtaarrs> I connected my iphone to rhythmbox to play some music and now when I connect to itunes says it can't talk to it and wants to restore it, anyone know if there's a way I can fix it without losing all the data since my last sync to itunes?
[23:28] <uhantu> ok, i try to do something
[23:29] <uhantu> thanks a lot hylian
[23:29] <kernelzilla> ZykoticK9, thank you
[23:29] <PinkBunny> sjm, Thanks for the help, think i got it :)
[23:29] <Warrigal> My MacBook running Ubuntu is running hot.
[23:29] <hylian> uhantu i hope this helps, i dont think i was much help
[23:29] <erUSUL> shiftingcontrol: i am not sure i can help... dpkg is a central piece of software. you are in a catch-22 you can install dpkg back without dpkg ...
[23:29] <ZykoticK9> kernelzilla, no guarantee your bug will be fixed ;)
[23:29] <Warrigal> This little CPU meter says it's running at 31% of its maximum speed, so I wouldn't expect it to be consuming so much power.
[23:29] <hylian> PinkBunny this might also help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1476321
[23:30] <Warrigal> (As you all know, consuming power = producing heat.)
[23:30] <Warrigal> Any idea what may be causing this?
[23:30] <shiftingcontrol> erUSUL:thank yu,how to do that ?
[23:30] <ZykoticK9> Warrigal, fact of the matter is, linux is not as good at power management as Mac or Windows...  sad but true.
[23:31] <soreau> erUSUL: FYI, the ubuntu team made compiz fallback to metacity when resizing a window past the mts for the graphics card
[23:31] <sprockets2000> anyone know greek history well, haha i know this isnt the channel for that but hell what is
[23:31] <erUSUL> soreau: ok; noted; thanks :)
[23:31] <ZykoticK9> !ot > sprockets2000
[23:31] <Alaric`> y'know, I wonder if my easiest solution to this problem is to just shoot NetworkManager in the head and manage the networking manually
[23:31] <hylian> sprockets2000 i know a little about icarus and daedalus, LOL
[23:32] <andre> what is the command to install packages and programs ?
[23:32] <erUSUL> shiftingcontrol: i'm afraid reinstalling is the easiest option for you
[23:32] <erUSUL> !software | andre
[23:32] <enav> mañana es un buen momento
[23:32] <Warrigal> ZykoticK9: huh, that's too bad.  Well, thanks.
[23:32] <io> !es | enav
[23:32] <hylian> andre it's apt-get. apt-get update and then install xxx.
[23:32] <ZykoticK9> Alaric`, setting up the card in /etc/network/interfaces will disable network manager, it will show "not managed" for the card in question
[23:32] <philsf> everytime I boot my netbook, the bluetooth applet is on. how do I make it remember to stay off, when I turn it off?
[23:32] <Warrigal> That Spanish notice could use a comma after "charlar".
[23:33] <shiftingcontrol> erUSUL:reinstalling is out of option according to me.let me try out,some other ways
[23:33] <thune3> Alaric`: i honestly could never figure out how to get my eth0 to run through networkmanager alone (that is, without putting it in /etc/network/interfaces). Differences in my setup: http://pastebin.com/f1sFZ7LN
[23:33] <hylian> is there a shortcut to talking to the last person that talked to you on irc?
[23:33] <andre> I want install the office br
[23:33] <Warrigal> hylian: in some clients, simply press the tab key while your chat box is empty.
[23:33] <hylian> andre i forgot to mention that you have to sudo apt-get, or it wont work
[23:34] <io> shiftingcontrol: You can take a copy of your package list, configuration files and home directory before re-installing - if that is what you are concerned about.
[23:34] <Alaric`> thune3, let me try that a moment
[23:34] <ActionParsnip> hylian: depends on the client, not heard of that. You'll have to check the feature list of your client
[23:34] <hylian> thanks
[23:34] <hylian> im using xchat.
[23:34] <ActionParsnip> hylian: you can always copy the nick, then the shortcut would be CTRL+V ;)
[23:34] <hylian> thanks ap, thats what i have been doing
[23:35] <shiftingcontrol> io:i tried to install vlc via ubuntu software centre now i receive an error "installArchives() failed: "
[23:35] <shiftingcontrol> io:how to do that ?
[23:36] <ActionParsnip> shiftingcontrol: can you use: http://pastie.org   to give the output of: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get install vlc
[23:36] <mcurran> Anyone know if you can add a delay/sleep pause to the icons being loaded in a .directory file?  I want my icons to load after the panels
[23:36] <shiftingcontrol> ActionParnsip:sorry i forgot to use tad.thank you
[23:37] <Alaric`> thune3, no joy with that ...   I think I'm just going to rip out network-manager and let dhcpcd and wpa-supplicant handle it.
[23:37] <thune3> Alaric: you would have to restart networking and NM (or reboot) for those changes to take effect.
[23:38] <andre>  I should write sudo apt- get OOO320_m18_native_packed-1_pt-BR.9502 ?
[23:39] <shiftingcontrol> http://pastie.org/1061262,output of sudo apt-get install vlc
[23:39] <w0_> when I hit ctrl-alt-L to lock the screen, the menus wiggles left and right if I enter the wrong pw.  can I turn this off?
[23:39] <thune3> Alaric`: and i did mean /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf for the second file mods (very sorry)
[23:40] <Alaric`> thune3, I restarted NM but not networking ...  lemme try that
[23:40] <ActionParsnip> shiftingcontrol: yikes thats a lot of deps
[23:40] <andre> Should I to write sudo apt-get OOO320_m18_native_packed-1_pt-BR.9502 ? to install office br in terminal
[23:41] <shiftingcontrol> ActionParnsip:see at the end you will find the error right?
[23:41] <ActionParsnip> shiftingcontrol: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/575400
[23:41] <Glowball> Does anybody know if the high load average bug is gone from 10.04? Can't really find a lot on Google (except that I'm not the only one with that problem), and I'd like to update to Lucid again.
[23:42] <ActionParsnip> shiftingcontrol: have you installed the server release?
[23:42] <andre> Should I write sudo apt- get OOO320_m18_native_packed-1_pt-BR.9502 ?
[23:42] <shiftingcontrol> ActionParnsip:nope its desktop only
[23:42] <ZykoticK9> Glowball, wasn't that related to opensource video drivers, a LONG time ago?
[23:42] <ActionParsnip> shiftingcontrol: then your system is REALLY screwed, most of the deps are part of a default install of the desktop
[23:43] <ZykoticK9> shiftingcontrol, out of curiosity what is your output of "lsb_release -a"
[23:43] <shiftingcontrol> ActionParnsip:my 10.04 literally made me feel worse,it hangs ,
[23:43] <Glowball> ZykoticK9: I always used the nvidia proprietary drivers, so I doubt it. And "a LONG time ago".. I used Lucid till after my exams, so.. end of June?
[23:43] <hylian> that seems to be an error when going from ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04, especially when going from the server distro to desktop, or vice versa
[23:44] <ZykoticK9> Glowball, must be a different bug, sorry no idea.
[23:45] <Glowball> ZykoticK9: I'm back to Karmic, but after tasting Lucid, it really feels like I'm missing out a lot :(
[23:45] <shiftingcontrol> Zykotick9:http://pastie.org/1061272
[23:45] <ZykoticK9> shiftingcontrol, ok
[23:46] <hylian> ohh, as for my link to problem, not only did a lot of people agree with me, but they plan to make it so it doesnt add the link to situation in the next release of nautilus, although according to a bug i read, this was an ubuntu specific situation...
[23:46] <ZykoticK9> Glowball, i couldn't wait to drop Karmic, so I started using Lucid as my main desktop OS during Alpha 2.  Sorry to hear about your Lucid troubles.
[23:47] <shiftingcontrol> in ma ubuntu studio if i give ping fb.me ,i get unknown host,whereas in lucid the net gets connected
[23:47] <Dr_Willis> hylian:  so whats it supposed to do ? ask for a new name?
[23:47] <Glowball> ZykoticK9: What's your load average atm?
[23:48] <hylian> Dr_Willis no usually a different extension. as to how they are gonna do it, they didnt say, but it diod say that earlier versions of ubuntu had actually already had it set up that way. i think it handles it like a application launcher...
[23:48] <ZykoticK9> Glowball, right now 0.27, 0.33, 0.37
[23:48] <Glowball> Meh.
[23:49] <Glowball> Mine was 1+, on fresh boot after fresh install, without any apps open
[23:49] <remote> how can i install google chrome?
[23:50] <ActionParsnip> !info google-chrome
[23:50] <ZykoticK9> remote, www.google.com/chrome but Chromium gets the newer features ;)
[23:50] <Glowball> remote: Google for Google Chrome and look for the download page - There's a deb for Ubuntu
[23:50] <ActionParsnip> !info chromium-browser | remote
[23:50] <remote> what's a deb?
[23:50] <soreau> ! deb
[23:50] <ActionParsnip> remote: or you can add the google ppa and install google-chrome (closed source) from there
[23:50] <remote> so i just double click?
[23:50] <remote> what's google ppa?
[23:50] <soreau> ! ppa
[23:50] <ZykoticK9> ActionParsnip, actually install the google-chrome DEB will install the PPA at the same time.  remote
[23:51] <hylian> i thought chromium wasn't available currently for linux
[23:51] <ActionParsnip> ZykoticK9: nice
[23:51] <ZykoticK9> hylian, oh it's available!
[23:51] <ActionParsnip> remote: http://www.linuxscrew.com/2010/05/08/install-google-chrome-chromium-ubuntu-lucid-lynx/
[23:51] <remote> thanks!'
[23:51] <soreau> ZykoticK9: What if the dep was in the ppa? heh
[23:52] <ZykoticK9> soreau, i hope Google could figure those things out ;)
[23:52] <hylian> since it's slow, anyone ever see duck duck go? http://duckduckgo.com/
[23:53] <soreau> ZykoticK9: Oh the tangled circular dependencies we weave ;)
[23:53] <nm5tf> anyone know how to make the MAUSB-10 work under Lucid, or any *nix for that matter-everyone says it is supported, but it won't mount as it says "no media inserted"
[23:54] <ActionParsnip> remote: you can get the daily build by using the chromium ppa
[23:55] <ActionParsnip> nm5tf: what's a MAUSB-10 ?
[23:55] <nm5tf> Olympus SM card reader
[23:55] <ActionParsnip> nm5tf: please use full details, we can't possibly know every card reader...
[23:55] <ZykoticK9> ActionParsnip, Olympus camera (i had to google) - oops, "Olympus card reader" (i didn't google well)
[23:57] <ActionParsnip> ZykoticK9: just makes the whole process smoother
[23:57] <hylian> the MAUSB-10 is supposedly supported, ubuntu even has a driver for it, but heck if i can find anything. even my hp built in card reader works with 10.04, sorry man.
[23:58] <Guest29462> m
[23:58] <nm5tf> hylian: correct it is supposed to be supported by ALAUDA, but it hs never worked under any *nix--it does work under WIN XP, so I know the reader is working
[23:59] <be> why is that our twinkle is not working
[23:59] <ActionParsnip> hylian: boto without the device attatched, then log in and get teh system settled. Then plug in the reader, wait 10 seconds and then run: dmesg | tail -n 20    please use http://pastie.org to give output
[23:59] <rabbit_> hi guys!


[07:28] <satyanash> Is UbuntuOne known to do this to stuff? --> http://imagebin.org/205048
[10:35] <Onkeltem> "An error has occurred. Our engineers have been notified and we will work to fix this." - this is what I see at Ubuntu One. Any ideas wtf does it want?
[13:18] <ralsina> Onkeltem: you are seeing that on the website, right? An automated report on the problam has been sent and the engineers will look at it on monday.
[13:19] <ralsina> satyanash: no, not only Ubuntu One is not known to do that, no userspace app should be able to do that on a system that is working correctly. It seems to me you have some permission issues there.


[00:06] <sparr> I'm experiencing a kernel bug(?) causing cpu cores to soft lock one at a time. I can't open new web browser tabs right now, but I can run w3m. I'd like to possibly collect any useful info about the bug, and also figure out how to install a newer kernel than 4.19
[00:19] <tomreyn> ubuntu-bug linux helps you collect logs and post a bug report
[00:34] <sparr> I managed to upgrade to a mainline kernel. If the problem doesn't recur then I doubt I'll need to submit a bug. if it does, I'll go back to the latest supported kernel and report it.
[00:44] <tomreyn> reporting a bug using the standard kernel could ensure it gets fixed, others benefit from the fix, have a better out of the box experience than you.
[00:44] <tomreyn> but it's a matter of how much you believe in communities helping each other.
[00:47] <sparr> if it's already fixed in the new kernel, would my report make a differnce in whether or not the fix is backported?
[00:50] <hggdh> sparr: yes. It will all depend on which kernel version added the bug, and which one corrected it
[00:52] <sparr> at the very least I'll test with whatever kernel ships with disco
[00:53] <Bashing-om> !info linux-image-generic disco | sparr
[00:55] <sparr> yeah, that's the one I was experiencing the bug on earlier, I think
[00:56] <sparr> definitely 4.19.0-12, not sure about the .13?
[04:36] <sparr> "systemd[1]: unattended-upgrades.service: Succeeded." <-- would this explain why my machine just spontaneously rebooted?
[05:02] <sparr> hopefully unrelatedly... something I've done today has led to powertop being terminated by "SIGSEGV (Address boundary error)" almost immediately after starting, before it displays any results. I don't even know how to troubleshoot that.
[07:57] <sparr> I got powertop to give me a core dump, but unfortunately it's compiled without debugging symbols
[18:52] <tomreyn> sparr: there is powertop-dbg
[18:53] <sparr> I compiled with debugging symbols myself, collected some data, am now out of ideas / gdb-fu
[18:54] <sparr> but it's on a mainline kernel, so I'm seeking help elsewhere
