[04:15] <raymond> airtonix: OK
[04:15] <Tonren> bllz: jockey?
[04:15] <bllz> Tonren;  yes
[04:15] <airtonix> raymond, in nautilus location field type : smb://<IP_ADDRESS>
[04:15] <jmyers1> ok, I'm done messing with this graphics garbage.  I'm going to do a reinstall.  I need to backup my data in my home folder tho.  I loaded from the live cd, and ran ubuntu without making any changes, but it won't let me copy my home directory to my usb flash drive because it says I don't have permissions.  Any ideas?
[04:16] <Tonren> bllz: Nothin but the NVIDIA grahpics drivers
[04:16] <mahngiel> i believe i have a permission set up somewhere that is killing my ability to burn dvds/cds. keep getting errors "cdrecord has no permission to open the device"
[04:16] <RedClairefield> excuse me, I am having some pretty serious wireless network issues here. If anyone knows a bunch about those kinds of things, please let me know? I need help.
[04:16] <bllz> Tonren:  then like I said... go for ubuntuforums and see what kind of responses you get
[04:16] <raymond> Nautilus, is this a web browser? Can I use Firefox? firefox get's me into the router.
[04:16] <Tonren> bllz: What a drag.
[04:17] <airtonix> jmyers1, when you reinstall create three partitions : 1. swap 2. system = /  3. home = /home
[04:17] <bllz> Tonren:  yeah no kidding
[04:17] <airtonix> raymond, nautilus is your file manager
[04:17] <bllz> Tonren:  if you're brave you could also try to reinstall and hope for the best
[04:17] <RedClairefield> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1364432
[04:17] <airtonix> raymond, so if you are looking at a blank desktop you can press ctrl + l and enter smb://<IP_ADDRESS>
[04:17] <Tonren> bllz: I doubt that would help, sadly.
[04:18] <mahngiel> !paste | mahngiel
[04:18] <Toil> ah i suppose it's a lost cause
[04:19] <twinsen> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nautilus_file_manager
[04:19] <jmyers1> airtonix: Not sure how that's gonna help me get my existing data off the drive before I reinstall?
[04:19] <airtonix> jmyers1, that is to acces the usb drive sitting on your router.
[04:19] <airtonix> jmyers1, mistell
[04:19] <jmyers1> airtonix: I was like, sweet my router has a usb drive in it?!
[04:20] <mahngiel> this is my fstab- http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m187d6c64- if you think there's something that may point to why i cannot cread cd/dvds
[04:20] <airtonix> jmyers1, ah right, its not but having that kind of partition setup will preclude you from having to back up next time
[04:20] <imatech> minicom: WARNING: configuration file not found, using defaults
[04:20] <mahngiel> *create
[04:20] <Toil> thanks neway
[04:20] <jarray521> Other than data loss, what negative effect occurs if the /root directory is deleted and then recreated with permissions set to the default? I did this and don't seem to experience any problems. I'm wondering whether problems will surface in the future.
[04:20] <Cappy> whats the package name for the open source ati drivers?
[04:20] <airtonix> jmyers1, its a partition setup i followed for a long time under windows too
[04:20] <imatech> i tried installing then reinstalling...
[04:20] <Optimus55> Hey how do you edit new boot menu in karmic? /boot/grub/menu.lst doesn't seem to exit
[04:20] <bllz> I have an intel HDA chipset (VT1708B) that is not listed in /usr/share/doc/alsa-base/driver/HD-Audio-Models.txt.gz ... what can I do?  The sound works but I cannot control volume or mute.  I'm trying to figure out what line to add to the asla config file to get it to work, but other fixes are welcome as well
[04:20] <jmyers1> airtonix: consider it done. lol  I have a second drive in here too, just wasn't smart enough to know it on last install
[04:20] <mahngiel> Optimus55: grub2 doesn't use that anymore
[04:21] <airtonix> jmyers1, also i have a old wives tale about putting the swap drive as the first partition increases the speed of its use...
[04:21] <jmyers1> Is there no way to get some sort of root access to the drive from the live cd tho?  So I can copy my home folder to the other drive before I reinstall?
[04:21] <mahngiel> Optimus55:  read the first few lines of '/boot/grub/grub.cfg'
[04:21] <airtonix> jmyers1, there is yes
[04:21] <Optimus55> mahngiel: thanks for the headsup
[04:21] <mahngiel> Optimus55: /etc/default/grub is your main script to edit the essentials, then the contents of /etc/grub.d/ is the rest
[04:22] <raymond> Error: Failed to retrieve share list from server
[04:22] <raymond> Please select another viewer and try again.
[04:22] <airtonix> jmyers1, livecd user has no password so simply prefix any command with sudo that requires root access
[04:22] <mahngiel> the grub.cfg is not editable
[04:22] <arooni_____> i'm trying to play a .avi on ubuntu... i hear no audio.  what can i do?
[04:22] <mahngiel> Optimus55: let me get you a link
[04:22] <bllz> arooni______:  do you have restricted codecs enabled?
[04:22] <jmyers1> airtonix: hrm, so I'm going to have to do all this copying from the terminal?
[04:22] <airtonix> raymond, nautilus tells you this in a popup box ?
[04:22] <arooni_____> bllz, i believe so!
[04:22] <bllz> arooni______:  please change your handle as well, so we can call on you more easily
[04:22] <raymond> Yes.
[04:23] <bllz> arooni_____:  you have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed?
[04:23] <jmyers1> airtonix: because I'm not so slick with mounting drives or moving large sums of files in terminal yet.
[04:23] <airtonix> jmyers1, no. you can use nautilus ... alt+f2 gksudo nautilus
[04:23] <Optimus55> mahngiel: okay thanks, because basically it's crowded with all the previous kernel versions and i just want them gone
[04:23] <airtonix> jmyers1, also if (when using the live cd ) you just plugin (for example) a usb drive... it will show up.
[04:23] <mahngiel> Optimus55: you should be able to use synaptic to delete them. but you can hide the memtest and recovery pretty easy if you want a quick how-to
[04:23] <quick_> How to accelerate the network speed of the ubuntu?
[04:24] <raymond> Could not display "SMB://101.1.1/"
[04:24] <airtonix> raymond, and this was when trying to access smb://<IP_ADDRESS>
[04:24] <imatech> !minicom
[04:24] <arooni> bllz, yes its installed
[04:24] <raymond> yes.
[04:24] <bllz> quick_:  do you have a problem with your network or are you just trying to be 1337?
[04:24] <jmyers1> airtonix: yes, I did that.  But when I try to move the my home folder to the usb drive, it says I dont have permission to access it.
[04:24] <bllz> arooni:  hmm.  do you get sound with other file types in the same media player?
[04:24] <Optimus55> mahngiel: if i use synaptic to remove the previous kernels, i wont have problems and it'll remove the grub entry as well?
[04:24] <airtonix> jmyers1, dont have permission to access what the usb drive or the home folder ?
[04:24] <Tonren> bllz: Bizarre... I'm getting intermittent pickup of some wifi networks.
[04:24] <jmyers1> airtonix: home folder
[04:25] <Tonren> bllz: I think I had this issue with my older laptop... I think I might need to switch to ndiswrapper
[04:25] <jarray521> If the /root directory is deleted, does Ubuntu recreate the important hidden files?
[04:25] <mahngiel> Optimus55: yeppers. just search '-14' and remove the image file. don't remove the libcamel tho, i think u still need that. not sure
[04:25] <bllz> Tonren:  ndiswrapper typically works very well too
[04:25] <jmyers1> airtonix: it will copy the folders, but when it tries to move the files it gives me the permissions error
[04:25] <mahngiel> and do 'sudo apt-get update and autoremove'
[04:25] <airtonix> jmyers1, this is when you run nautilus as root : gksudo nautilus --no-desktop
[04:25] <quick_> yes,it's very slow from web access
[04:26] <mahngiel> to hide the memtest and the recovery kernel, just remove the permissions from the /etc/grub.d files
[04:26] <airtonix> raymond, ok are you sure that your router is sharing the usb drive it has plugged into it via samba  >
[04:26] <jmyers1> ok, so I boot to a terminal with MY login, and run that command?
[04:26] <quick_> but very quickly to access from localhost
[04:26] <bllz> quick_:  so it's only the browser that's slow?  that might not be a network issue
[04:26] <mahngiel> any luck on anybody out there figurin why i can't burn a cd?
[04:26] <nickzxcv> hi, I'm having this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/461127
[04:26] <Tonren> bllz: Got the link to that list of chipsets + ndiswrapper files, by any chance?
[04:26] <quick_> yes
[04:26] <bllz> Tonren:  no
[04:26] <bllz> quick_:  what broser are you using and what's your hardwaer?

[04:27] <nickzxcv> the karmic-updates kernel 2.6.31-16-generic-pae is also not built with xen support
[04:27] <nickzxcv> even though linux-image-virtual depends on it
[04:27] <jmyers1> airtonix: ok, so I reboot to a terminal with my login, and run that command?
[04:27] <Maletor> How do i export a path permanently?
[04:27] <mahngiel> Optimus55: if you want to mess around a bit with Grub, i'd recommend making a copy of it first
[04:27] <Optimus55> right
[04:27] <airtonix> jmyers1 ok i understand, i was tralking about using that command while you use the live cd
[04:27] <quick_>  But speed is very fast from local access
[04:28] <mahngiel> Optimus55: perhaps: 'sudo cp -R /etc/grub.d /etc/grub.d_
[04:28] <Optimus55> mahngiel: the documentation there seems really helpful. Thanks a lot
[04:28] <mahngiel> Optimus55: np
[04:28] <jmyers1> airtonix: so run the no-desktop switch from the livecd then.
[04:28] <bevans_> hi guys, is there a package for vmware server 2 for ubuntu 9.10 which can be installed using apt?
[04:28] <bllz> quick_:  hmm... sounds like newtork congestion, in which case i doubt you can do much
[04:28] <raymond> Yes, i can access it from the XP machine
[04:28] <airtonix> jmyers1, yes that switch prevents nautilus from creating (yet another) desktop (this time owned by root)...(nautilus without paramters creates a desktop view)
[04:29] <quick_> I think it may be not the browser's  problem
[04:29] <bllz> quick_:  yeah that might be your connection
[04:29] <airtonix> raymond, could you possibly retireve the make and model of the router ?
[04:30] <quick_> I don't known how to config the network of ubuntu
[04:30] <jmyers1> airtonix: that's not doing anything.
[04:30] <Tonren> bllz: Damn, dude.  I hate dealing with this... I figured I could get wifi up and running in an hour, tops, but I've been at it 2 hours now.
[04:30] <ignazio> hi
[04:30] <bllz> quick_;  no I'm saying it's not an ubuntu problem.  it's your network... most likely, anyway
[04:30] <bllz> Tonren:  yeah that's why I just bought an ubuntu-specific laptop
[04:30] <raymond> Netgear DG834GU
[04:30] <quick_> may be
[04:31] <Tonren> bllz: I've been meaning to do that, but until then I'm making do with hand-me-downs
[04:31] <jmyers1> airtonix: gksudo nautilus --no-desktop isnt opening the file manager.
[04:31] <Tonren> bllz: You only need to worry about WPA if you're connecting to an encrypted router, right?
[04:31] <airtonix> jmyers1,are you using the live cd now ?
[04:31] <bllz> Tonren:  only if you're connecting to a WPA encyrpted router... which you want to do
[04:31] <quick_> and How do I check my network
[04:31] <mahngiel> error details when trying to burn  a cd. please take a look if you have the insight. http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d6fc12182
[04:32] <jmyers1> airtonix: yessir, logged in as ubuntu.  I have the desktop with the Install Ubuntu Now icon, and Examples icon, and my 153 GB Filesystem icon
[04:32] <quick_> Perhaps it's a network configuration problem
[04:32] <Tonren> bllz: My router is unencrypted; it's open.
[04:32] <airtonix> jmyers1, alt+f2  brings up a run dialog ?
[04:32] <jmyers1> airtonix: and I just mounted my usb flash
[04:32] <bllz> quick_: it dependso n what you want to check.  Try this:  http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-network-troubleshooting-tips.html
[04:32] <mahngiel> airtonix: yep
[04:32] <jmyers1> airtonix: yes, brings up the run dialog.  I type gksudo nautilus --no-desktop in it, and nothin happens.

[04:35] <bastidrazor> Cappy: you can't install two sets of drivers for one card. you have to use one or the other.
[04:35] <jmyers1> airtonix: the hard drive is showing up on the desktop, it's mounted.  I can open it, open home folder, and see my Joseph folder
[04:35] <Cappy> bastidrazor, im sure i said that "ive just uninstalled the fglrx drivers"
[04:36] <airtonix> raymond, it seems your routers web interface has controls to manipulate how the usb drive is shared ? is this correct

[04:39] <raymond> Yes. I've taken that issue up with Optus and Netgear, each one is shirking the responsibility to the other. but that problem is accessing it via the web, no

[04:41] <raymond> Yes, Netgear
[04:41] <airtonix> raymond, the other thing you can try to do (in order to get a sense of what is (and what isn't) occuring ) is to attempt to get smbclient to give you a list of shares on the router

[04:46] <Pelo> sunil,  I told you earelier,  you do not need to remove them all you just need to intall over them , make a backup of all the files you need to keep, on a cd or something then install ubuntu again over the whole hdd
[04:46] <airtonix> raymond, samba is so frustrating
[04:46] <mahngiel> brijith: uh-huh...
[04:46] <Tonren> mahngiel: Intermittently, I can see some other wifi network, but never my own.
[04:46] <windy> fd_df, see you again^
[04:46] <brijith> mahngiel:them problem is when I try to auto mount the partition by adding them in fstab
[04:46] <raymond> airtonix: You're telling me LOL
[04:46] <airtonix> raymond, and windows networking in general.
[04:46] <fatface> can i apt-get install a specific version of a piece of software?
[04:46] <fd_df> windy: haha
[04:46] <mahngiel> Tonren: have you tried connecting to hidden network?
[04:46] <flexible> Snausages: no, what do i do to find out... also, i am almost positive it is a problem with ubuntu, because this computer has 80% reception from this desk, where as the laptop is dropping out
[04:46] <bllz> fatface:  afaik apt-get installs the most recent version in the repository
[04:46] <fd_df> windy: my english is poor
[04:47] <Tonren>  mahngiel:  Yep.  Didn't take.
[04:47] <airtonix> raymond, ok i assume you are giving it the correct password and the web interface to control the sub drive sharing has that user name in its list.
[04:47] <raymond> airtonix: Especially when MS changes the look and feel of things between versions!
[04:47] <flexible> Snausages: also, the router is less than ten metres away...
[04:47] <Cappy> mahngiel, well im thinking i need to go back to windows, unless there is a simple way of INSTALLING the opensource drivers for radeon cards.
[04:47] <sunil> if i backup & install again do i need to partion my hdd
[04:47] <mahngiel> brijith: if you look at that link i gave you, there is is a spelled out method to auto mount with permissions
[04:47] <windy> fd_df, it doesn't matter
[04:47] <bllz> Cappy:  aren't the open source drivers installed by default when you install ubuntu?
[04:47] <mahngiel> Cappy: try 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras' ??
[04:47] <raymond> airtonix: The password that I entered was the one for ubuntu on my laptop which I am using right now..
[04:48] <jmyers1> airtonix: what about compressing the folder from a terminal, and then moving the single file the the flash drive with the sudo cp command?
[04:48] <Snausages> flexible: I don't know a sure-fire way to do it.  A badly working winwifi-type driver could cause this problem...  I hate the damn things so much I swapped out the wifi module in my netbook so I wouldn't have to deal with it
[04:48] <mahngiel> Tonren: are you able to set up the DHCP on your own? to find it?
[04:48] <bllz> mahngiel:  uh... for video drivers, really?
[04:48] <brijith> mahngiel:thanks for the link I am reading it
[04:48] <airtonix> raymond, ahh ok it is asking for the samba password not the computer password
[04:48] <ace_> I have a toshiba satellite a205-s5852 laptop. I'm having a hard time connection to my wifi. Sometimes it connects, and sometimes it doesn't can someone help me so it will connect all the time?
[04:48] <mahngiel> bllz: i dunno, hence the q marks. nobody else seems to have any imput
[04:48] <Tonren> mahngiel: Nope.  It can't see the access point at all.
[04:48] <airtonix> raymond, so assuming you have a password setup for the router network share, then thats what it wants, otherwise leave it blank and press enter
[04:48] <sunil> can you tel me the process of system backup
[04:48] <bllz> mahngiel:  ubuntu-restricted-extras is codecs
[04:48] <SporkiPod> ummmm
[04:48] <iKernel> ace_, sounds like sometimes the interference is there, sometimes it's not
[04:48] <flexible> Snausages: right, well is there anywher you can point me to get this thing working like it should?
[04:49] <SporkiPod> need some serious help here
[04:49] <iKernel> ace_, what's more common, it connecting or it not connecting?
[04:49] <iKernel> SporkiPod, don't ask to ask, just ask.
[04:49] <mahngiel> bllz: k
[04:49] <ace_> iKernel: not connecting, and it's happening to both my toshiba laptops, and my wifes hp
[04:49] <raymond> airtonix: The password is only required when you login from the net, i.e. if YOU were to try and login. Otherwise no password is required.. I'll try it now.
[04:49] <Snausages> flexible: this is a great place.  But apparently now is not a good time.  There are other people who regularly hang out here who are great at troubleshooting wifi drivers.
[04:49] <SporkiPod> I was trying to install ubuntu on an external hdd, accidently put grub on the main drive, now can't boot windows
[04:49] <bllz> ace_: You shoudl look up your specific wifi driver in the ubuntu documentation list to see if it is supported
[04:49] <mahngiel> Tonren: well, if your wifi is able to see things, then the drivers must be working
[04:49] <SporkiPod> help?
[04:50] <bllz> ace_:  you should also give us the specific chipset
[04:50] <iKernel> bllz, he says it happens to his wife's comp too
[04:50] <Tonren> mahngiel: Yeah, but why can't I see my own access point?
[04:50] <raymond> airtonix: I think it worked that time, I got a lot more info...
[04:50] <bllz> !ask | SporkiPod
[04:50] <ace_> bllz: it worked fine with 9.04
[04:50] <airtonix> raymond, excellent you see sharenames?
[04:50] <SporkiPod> I get grub loading. error: no such disk
[04:50] <bllz> iKernel:  hmm... sounds like a reception issue then, doesn't it?
[04:50] <flexible> Snausages: right, well what do i do to work out the chipset?
[04:50] <airtonix> raymond,dont post the info here (privacy)
[04:50] <bllz> ace_:  that's good news, but you should look it up anyway
[04:50] <raymond> airtonix: Yes, i was about to write that..
[04:50] <raymond> airtonix: thanks.
[04:50] <sunil> can any one tel me the process of system backup
[04:50] <iKernel> ace_, which operating system does your wife use? and how far away are you from the router? what kind of things are between the laptop and the router?
[04:50] <mahngiel> Tonren: i really don't know. i believe the extent of my knowledge has been reached on that. maybe the router has a weak signal to you???
[04:50] <Snausages> flexible: I know you can get it from lspci in a terminal, but I'm not sure how best to narrow down those results.  (it's a few pages full)
[04:50] <mahngiel> Wireless connection 1http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1363472
[04:51] <bllz> ace_:  my honest opinion is that 9.10 botched a lot of otherwise working stuff... you may want to just go back to 9.04 for the time being
[04:51] <Pytlask> Does anyone know what the little 'toasts' are called (that pop up in the top-right of your screen on certain actions)
[04:51] <iKernel> sunil, easy, just use backup2l
[04:51] <culinor> hello, i installed ubuntu with graphical interface but it didn't showed me an option to create a separate partition for /home, so can i do it now and if yes where can i read about that procedure, thank you
[04:51] <mahngiel> sunil: um. that's where you put all of your valuable information into a place where they may be retrieved in the event of data loss
[04:51] <ace_> iKernel: 9.10 and I'm about 20 feet from router
[04:51] <airtonix> raymond, ok you see things you recognise, so now try this in the nautilus location field<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[04:51] <ace_> iKernel: clear view to router
[04:52] <iKernel> sunil, actually scrap that, use backuppc , looks much better
[04:52] <bllz> ace_:  look up the card
[04:52] <airtonix> raymond, i mean<EMAIL_ADDRESS>so that it is : smb://user@ip
[04:52] <ace_> iKernel: bllz: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network
[04:52] <iKernel> ace_, ok, did you try switching every electronic appliance in the house off apart from the router and PC's?
[04:52] <tatootian> hi anyone here know how to use centos?
[04:52] <mahngiel> why would i bet told i do have have the permissions to write to a cd?
[04:52] <mq521> ya
[04:52] <Snausages> flexible: I cheated...  I saw that the stock broadcom wifi in my netbook wasn't working, so I just tried other modules until I found one that "just worked" and stuck with it.  Has been flawless since.
[04:53] <bllz> ace_:  now look that up on the list of supported adapters and see if there are any notes
[04:53] <mq521> how do I use centos
[04:53] <airtonix> tatootian, this is ubuntu channel
[04:53] <CyberArch> tatootian: #centos
[04:53] <tatootian> i got banned
[04:53] <Tonren> mahngiel: Every other laptop to come through the apartment in the past year has connected fine :-(  Thanks for trying, though
[04:53] <tatootian> from #centos
[04:53] <iKernel> hm im pretty sure 9.10 comes with the atheros drivers
[04:53] <ace_> iKernel: no I didn't try that
[04:53] <sunil> is 9.10 a free of distribution
[04:53] <iKernel> ace_, try it
[04:53] <tatootian> sunil, no
[04:53] <bazhang> tatootian, mq521 please stop
[04:53] <ace_> iKernel: ok
[04:53] <tatootian> you have to pay for it
[04:53] <mq521> ???
[04:53] <airtonix> tatootian, power cycle your router/modem and make a new username
[04:53] <tatootian> bazhang, ?
[04:53] <Hydrosis> sunil: all Ubuntu is 100 percent free
[04:53] <Snausages> yes, 9.10 and 9.04 both have atheros wireless support
[04:53] <tatootian> airtonix, ???
[04:53] <raymond> airtonix: I worked that one out when it didn't work LOL, but it is looking for windows shares (The icon is rotating - the flower type one)
[04:53] <bllz> ace_:  also, silly question, but did you check the proprietary driver manager?
[04:53] <Hydrosis> tatootian, please dont be an asshat.
[04:53] <bazhang> mq521, take it elsewhere
[04:53] <sunil> how much is the cost
[04:53] <iKernel> ace_, then if you can connect, slowly switch each appliance on one by one until your wireless internet dies. then the last thing you switched on is what's causing the problem
[04:53] <ace_> bllz: where do i find a list of supported adapters?
[04:54] <mq521> bazhang
[04:54] <bllz> ace_:  ubuntu community documentation (help.ubuntu.com)
[04:54] <mq521> why are you so mean
[04:54] <bllz> ace_:  also, google has it
[04:54] <mahngiel> boy, i need to quit drinking and typing... allow me to rephrase. Burning cds & dvds fail due to insufficient priveledges
[04:54] <bllz> ace_:  just google "ubuntu supported wifi"
[04:54] <airtonix> mahngiel, no other similar scenarios found on ubuntuforums ?
[04:54] <raymond> airtonix: In Location it shows smb://<IP_ADDRESS>/ and the icon is still "rotating"
[04:54] <iKernel> bllz, im pretty sure most atheros chipsets are supported by default under ubuntu
[04:55] <mahngiel> airtonix: nor on linux forums
[04:55] <bllz> iKernel:  yeah, but you never know.  it's worth looking up
[04:55] <airtonix> raymond, ok try appending a known sharename to the end of the location
[04:55] <iKernel> bllz, i suppose
[04:55] <airtonix> raymond, so it ends up looking something like : smb://<IP_ADDRESS>/sharename
[04:55] <mahngiel> fk it. guess i'll go to XP and use Nero.
[04:55] <mahngiel> laters
[04:56] <raymond> airtonix: The location just changed to /home/raymond before you sent the last message
[04:56] <sunil> how to install additional softwares
[04:56] <Pytlask> Does anybody know what the little black boxes that pop up in the upper-right hand of my screen are called?
[04:56] <bllz> sunil:  depends on the software.  You should look at the ubuntu software center, for starters
[04:56] <Pytlask> (For example, when a wireless connection is completed)
[04:57] <airtonix> raymond, next thing to check is that ubuntu workgroup and the router workgroup are the same.
[04:57] <sunil> may i know how to install java
[04:58] <bllz> sunil:  the easiest way is to install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[04:58] <ace_> iKernel: unplugged everything and still no wifi
[04:58] <raymond> airtonix: The sharename for the Router works, i can now see the files.. :)
[04:59] <ace_> iKernel: I was hoping it would be the Christmas tree. LOL
[04:59] <iKernel> xD
[04:59] <airtonix> raymond, rejoice. lastly you should try looking at the location in nautilus : network://
[04:59] <iKernel> ace_, nice. oh and, shame. well. is the router over heating? I used to have problems where the wifi would drop out if the router got too hot
[04:59] <airtonix> raymond, if that doesnt give you more love, you might want to bookmark the current location
[04:59] <insmod> any idea how to avoid/register an ipod touch in linux
[04:59] <raymond> airtonix: is the sharename info in the smb.conf file? If so, I have already changed it.
[05:00] <sunil> may i know how to install java in my pc
[05:00] <bllz> sunil:  I just answered your question
[05:00] <sunil> may i know what is command to install
[05:00] <ace_> iKernel: I don't think so. It doesn't feel too hot, and I have it in an open area
[05:00] <airtonix> raymond, sharename of the folder on the router? no that comes from the router (it reports it when asked for it as you probably saw when you ran smbclient -L <IP_ADDRESS>)
[05:01] <bllz> sunil:  this is the kind of thing you should be googling, but it's sudo apt-get install
[05:01] <bllz> followed by the package name
[05:01] <airtonix> !java | sunil
[05:01] <bazhang> sunil, ubuntu-restricted-extras ?
[05:01] <bllz> -Pelo- :  or a new user... who knows =/
[05:01] <iKernel> ace_, weird. made sure that the antenna is screwed in properly?
[05:01] <bastidrazor> sunil: in a terminal type: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[05:01] <shriekout> !en
[05:01] <bllz> sunil:  or you could look up ubuntu-restricted-extras in the ubuntu software center
[05:01] <raymond> airtonix: workgroup is what I meant..
[05:02] <iKernel> ace_, and try opening up the IP address of your router in a web browser, see if it gives you any clues
[05:02] <ace_> iKernel: that was one of the first things I checked. I have full bars on the laptop
[05:02] <ace_> iKernel: I will open it
[05:02] <airtonix> raymond, yes it is
[05:03] <iKernel> wait you have full bars on the laptop? so you don't have any issues with signal strength
[05:03] <iKernel> bllz, looks like ace_ isnt having any problems with signal strength
[05:03] <sunil> i got E: Couldn't find package ubuntu-restricted-extras
[05:03] <sunil> after i i run sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[05:03] <bllz> iKernel:  hmm... my advice still stands... regress to 9.04.  9.10 is a pain...
[05:03] <raymond> airtonix: I have already changed the smb.conf to the name of the workgroup
[05:04] <iKernel> bllz, personally I haven't run into any issues whatsoever with 9.10 ... just lucky I guess
[05:04] <bllz> iKernel:  yeah... lucky indeed. this release has been plagued with wifi and audio issues
[05:04] <bllz> iKernel:  not to mention problems with grub2
[05:04] <bllz> iKernel:  which are admittedly less frequent and less severe
[05:05] <Diverdude> I have a thinkpad T61p, with a touchpad, which I would like to disable. I can do this using a program called TrackPointSettings. But when I have disabled it, it is beeing renabled for some reason when i press TAB or SUPERKEY+D(which is my show desktop shortcut) How can I avoid this misbehaviour?
[05:05] <iKernel> bllz, the only issue I've had with wifi is that aireplay-ng just can't seem to find a damned ARP packet.
[05:05] <ace_> iKernel: I think I'm going to go with bllz advice and go back to 9.04
[05:06] <iKernel> ace_, yeah ok
[05:06] <bllz> ace_:  the next release is a lts I think... so it should be rock solid
[05:06] <Quan-Time> Diverdude: hmm... tried synaptics ? the driver set, NOT the package handler thing..
[05:06] <iKernel> bllz, what's an ltz?
[05:06] <iKernel> lts*
[05:06] <Quan-Time> Diverdude: formally gsynaptics (gnome)..
[05:06] <ace_> iKernel: bllz: thank you both for helping
[05:06] <bllz> iKernel: uh... long term release... why the hell did i type s?
[05:06] <Diverdude> Quan-Time, is that preinstalled?
[05:06] <iKernel> ace_, you're welcome
[05:06] <MenZa> LTS - Long-Term Support.
[05:06] <bllz> iKernel;  I do think it's called lts for whatever reason though
[05:06] <bllz> ace_: good luck!
[05:07] <bllz> iKernel:  yeah it's lts
[05:07] <bllz> long term release
[05:07] <Quan-Time> Diverdude: hit and miss.. wasnt with me.. (im on a laptop too, but i have a elantech pad, not a synaptic, they are hardware manuf's)
[05:07] <Diverdude> Quan-Time, I do not understand what you mean
[05:08] <raymond> airtonix: I am able to get into the files on my XP machine now doing the same thing as the modem, I've just got to know the names and am not able to browse for them. I get asked the password and I enter it so I get access. I am unable to substitute the address for the computer "name" so I'll either have to set up a permanent address for each machine if there is no other way?
[05:10] <Diverdude> anyone?
[05:10] <culinor> hello, i installed ubuntu with graphical interface but it didn't showed me an option to create a separate partition for /home, so can i do it now and if yes where can i read about that procedure, thank you
[05:11] <pityonline> Hi guys! Can I save a screenshot with gnome-screenshot autonamed 'date+time'.png?
[05:12] <Quan-Time> Diverdude: sudo apt-get install synaptics
[05:13] <jmyers1> k, need some more ideas for rescuing my data via live cd before I wipe this thing and reinstall. :/
[05:13] <Quan-Time> Diverdude: OR !! go to your synaptics package manager and search for "synaptics"
[05:13] <Quan-Time> Diverdude: synaptics is a hardware manufacturer of touchpads.. much like dell / mitsubish / lg make LCD panels...
[05:14] <Quan-Time> it may fix you right up with the right driver for your device
[05:14] <Maletor> How do I enable transmissionbt so i can go to my computer and add a torrent file
[05:14] <mobi-sheep> pityonline: Use scrot.
[05:14] <Maletor> 's web gui
[05:15] <Quan-Time> Maletor: you wanna add a .torrent via web gui on transmission ?
[05:15] <pityonline> mobi-sheep: Yes, I know scrot can do this, but I wonder gnome-screenshot can also do it
[05:15] <iKernel> Can somebody please tell me why in blasified hell there are no smp kernel images in the package repository?
[05:15] <iKernel> !smp
[05:15] <Maletor> Quan-Time: yes
[05:15] <iKernel> oh
[05:16] <Maletor> Quan-Time: I have transmission on my computer i just need to open it remotely
[05:16] <Quan-Time> Maletor: honestly never tried.. didnt know it could do it.. i personally use utorrent.. works fine (with wine)..
[05:16] <mobi-sheep> pityonline: I checked out man pages. Looks like it's not possible. :o
[05:16] <pRincEss_nHa> dina
[05:16] <mobi-sheep> Maletor: http://localhost:9091 -- Try that
[05:16] <Quan-Time> Maletor: umm. best i can suggest is search the forums or the transmission dev forums.. no idea.. dont use it and didnt know of that feature in it. (why i used utorrent)
[05:16] <Ek|mu5> Maletor, look up transmission-daemon, you'd also have to open up ports
[05:16] <culinor> how can i move /home to it's own partition
[05:17] <bazhang> !home | culinor
[05:17] <Maletor> in looking up transmission-daemon i found nothing about starting the web gui
[05:17] <pRincEss_nHa> -
[05:17] <pRincEss_nHa> -
[05:17] <pRincEss_nHa> -
[05:17] <FloodBot2> pRincEss_nHa: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:17] <pityonline> mobi-sheep: well, maybe u r right
[05:18] <culinor> thank you ubottu
[05:18] <Ek|mu5> Maletor, it should be in the preferences if the normal ui
[05:18] <pityonline> mobi-sheep: I'd checked the man pages for gnome-screenshot
[05:18] <bazhang> culinor, if on install you can use manual partitioning on the live cd, or use the alternate cd
[05:18] <SporkiPod> aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugggggggghhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!
[05:18] <Ek|mu5> Maletor, the option for activating the web gui is there
[05:18] <Maletor> Ek|mu5: I can't access preferences, i have a shell i need to do this remotely
[05:19] <bazhang> SporkiPod, please stop that
[05:19] <SporkiPod> well some
[05:19] <SporkiPod> help would be nice
[05:20] <fleixius> I have an UPS connected to my 9.10 box, however; upon critical battery levels the UPS doesnt auto shut down.  Any ideas?
[05:20] <fleixius> Bah the pc
[05:20] <Ek|mu5> Maletor, can't look it up for you... but you would still need to configure and start the transmission-daemon and by default it will listen on localhost:9091.
[05:20] <mobi-sheep> Maletor: You'll have to edit the settings.json to allow yourself.
[05:20] <fleixius> it;s configured to do so in the gnome-power-management as well
[05:20] <Maletor> mobi-sheep, where is settings.json
[05:21] <jwx> hi, how is windows7 performing in virtualbox compared to xp? need to setup windows only app (visual studio) for study

[05:23] <j_anon> So I got a portable My Passport hard drive for Christmas
[05:23] <j_anon> so i tried installing ubuntu onto it so i can boot ubuntu with it from a couple of computers
[05:23] <j_anon> but i can't do it on my mac
[05:23] <j_anon> does anyone know why?
[05:23] <gralco> hey can someone help me out, my nvidia driver stopped working all of the sudden and idk why
[05:24] <j_anon> i start up, hold option key, and it shows the "boot from" options, and it doesn't show the drive
[05:25] <neezer> j_anon: a few years ago I tried something similar and ran into problems.
[05:26] <mobi-sheep> Maletor: You'll have to read Transmission Headless Server site. I just remembered that Ubuntu like to have their own usernames for daemons so it'll be running under user (debian-transmission).
[05:26] <moymoy> i'm trying to install the nfs-kernel-server package, but it tells me that there's no support for it in my kernel.. i have NFSv3 and NFSv4 support built into the kernel.. what's wrong?
[05:26] <j_anon> neezer: whadja do
[05:26] <neezer> not exactly sure...i didn't know much about computers.
[05:26] <j_anon> what would you do now
[05:27] <neezer> I installed ubuntu on the external drive, but the boot sector was on the main hdd of my laptop.
[05:27] <mobi-sheep> pityonline: scrot -d 3 -c $(date +"%Y-%m-%d-%H%M%S").png   :-)
[05:27] <neezer> so I could boot into ubuntu if the drive was plugged in.
[05:27] <neezer> but i couldn't get into windows without the drive being plugged in.
[05:27] <neezer> it was a huge pain in the ass.
[05:28] <j_anon> can you explain what you mean by "the boot sector was on the main hdd of my laptop"
[05:28] <neezer> eventually I got a friend of mine with a windows recovery disk to repair my boot sector back to just window on my laptop.
[05:28] <sunil> how to master all the linux commands
[05:28] <j_anon> i'm not totally sure what a boot sector is, possibly
[05:28] <neezer> there is a boot sector for all of the different OS's and generally it is in the beginning of the hard drive.
[05:29] <pityonline> mobi-sheep: thank u so much
[05:29] <neezer> I apologize for not knowing a lot about this j_anon.
[05:30] <raymond> Thanks to all for your help and especially airtonix. All to best for the new year to you all...
[05:30] <neezer> it was quite new to me when I did it, and it was at least 3 years ago.
[05:30] <j_anon> is there another room that might get me more specialized advice, neezer?
[05:30] <neezer> but anyways...there are special ways to set up a USB drive to work as a live "cd"
[05:30] <sunil> can any one tell me how to learn all the linux commands
[05:31] <j_anon> sunil: caffeine.
[05:31] <j_anon> caffeine and time
[05:31] <neezer> you could try that. that way you can run ubuntu on other computers as a live cd, but from you external hdd...
[05:32] <sunil> caffeine???
[05:32] <brianherman> cocaine?
[05:32] <j_anon> cocaine is how you learn PERL
[05:32] <neezer> if you want to run ubuntu from the disk on other computers it might be as simple as changing the boot device priority to the USB device.
[05:32] <neezer> when booting.
[05:32] <brianherman> cocaine is how you learn perl when booting
[05:33] <om26er> !ot
[05:33] <neezer> sorry I couldn't be of more help j_anon.
[05:33] <j_anon> thanks
[05:33] <pityonline> mobi-sheep: i found scrot with no options can also do it, easyly.
[05:33] <sunil> may i why people find difficult with linux???
[05:34] <j_anon> may i why people find difficult with english???
[05:34] <j_anon> lulz i'm funnee
[05:34] <neezer> so are you looking to just run a live CD type environment from different machines? or to actually run the same install off of the USB drive and boot into it from the drive.
[05:34] <sunil> why most of the people face problems with linux??
[05:35] <neezer> I would think trying to boot a single install onto different hardware would cause some config problems.
[05:35] <imatech> can I install a redhat driver on my ubuntu box?
[05:35]  * om26er think people also face problems with windows
[05:35] <vadi01>  /join #networking
[05:35] <mobi-sheep> sunil: There are problems with everything. Surely, you're not the perfect son? ;)
[05:35] <jwx> sunil: lack of hardware drivers? and lack of research if their hardware is fully supported = problems ?
[05:35] <moymoy> quit
[05:36] <sunil> how to master linux from starting?
[05:36] <neezer> looking for support for exim4?? anyone here know about it?
[05:36] <mobi-sheep> sunil: Learn things as you hang out in here.
[05:37] <neezer> sunil: when you have problems you master one little piece of linux at a time. The more problems you have, the more you master.
[05:37] <bullgard4> 'man ps'in the section "STANDARD FORMAT SPECIFIERS" lists a table headlined "CODE HEADER DESCRIPTION" to control the output format of the ps command. When do I have to use 'CODE', and wehn do I have to use 'HEADER'?
[05:37] <mobi-sheep> sunil: This is a great way to get started -- http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/
[05:38] <maco> neezer: or when other people have problems and you help them figure them out :) much of what i learned was this way
[05:38] <bullgard4> s/wehn/when/
[05:38] <neezer> very nice maco!
[05:38] <Hunt4> is ossmix a command in ubuntu?

[05:45] <Guest95020> karmic koala or watever, yes
[05:45] <vishesh> Guest95020: maybe you just clicked next over next during installation
[05:46] <vishesh> and repartitioned/reformatted the hard-disk, clearing windows
[05:46] <Guest95020> Wat do i do to get it back?
[05:46] <Guest95020> is that bad?
[05:46] <Mo> how do you list out files to be installed in a package?
[05:46] <j_anon> 9/10 odds guest is just messing with you
[05:47] <vishesh> Guest95020: You cant get back if you cleared it, i mean reformattedthe disk
[05:47] <neezer> Guest95020 it is very bad.
[05:47] <Guest95020> :(

[05:48] <neezer> Guest95020: in a terminal in ubuntu type df let us know what it says.
[05:48] <Guest95020> wat?
[05:49] <neezer> open a terminal in Ubuntu and type in df then press enter.
[05:49] <psy0nic> if he repartitioned and formatted it doesn't matter what df will say
[05:49] <psy0nic> the data will still be gone
[05:49] <j_anon> guys, he doesn't know what terminal is
[05:49] <vishesh> yeah, df will show mouted partions anyway
[05:49] <mMezquitale> Guest95020, use pastebin to print the output of "df"
[05:49] <neezer> I know, but it will tell us if that is what he did, or if there is still a chance that the partition is there, but just not reading.
[05:50] <Guest95020> okay.... plz w8
[05:50] <mMezquitale> !pastebin
[05:50] <Colloguy> can scrot take a screenshot of  the frontmost window, without having to click it?
[05:50] <vishesh> Guest95020: Press Alt+F2. Type gnome-terminal and press enter
[05:51] <vishesh> Guest95020: Once terminal is open type sudo fdisk -l. All tell us the output
[05:51] <bullgard4> 'man ps'in the section "STANDARD FORMAT SPECIFIERS" lists a table headlined "CODE HEADER DESCRIPTION" to control the output format of the ps command. When do I have to use 'CODE', and wehn do I have to use 'HEADER'?

[05:52] <imganquan> hi all. I use openbox WM, how to autostart the ibus(a input method) after I type "startx", I write ibus-daemon in openbox's autostart.sh, but it didn't works. any suggestion?
[05:52] <Guest95020> :((
[05:52] <neezer> now try what vishesh said as well....use sudo fdisk -l.
[05:52] <JimmyJ> Guest95020, you're out of luck.
[05:52] <neezer> it will be a bit more detailed.
[05:52] <Guest95020> oh no
[05:52] <Guest95020> im so dead!!!!
[05:53] <mMezquitale> Guest95020, is it a desktop?  Your parents use that machine for business??
[05:53] <jwx> ouch
[05:53] <Guest95020> they use it for their email and stuff :(
[05:54] <Guest95020> oh im so dead :(
[05:54] <vinnie_> then just format the HD and shut it down and walk away and play stupid
[05:54] <vinnie_> lol
[05:54] <Guest95020> i am stupid and dead
[05:55] <ngocthien> hi
[05:55] <mMezquitale> Guest95020, if they dont use it for work then youre ok, maybe you just erased their pictures and your dad's porno but that's not a big deal, remember, you are their offspring and youll be surprised what parents would do for their children, and what they would forgive
[05:55] <Guest95020> there is no way to get windows back!!?!?!?
[05:55] <psy0nic> did you do a quick format or a full format?
[05:55] <JimmyJ> He probably doesn't know what a format is, psy0nic.
[05:56] <Guest95020> oh shit bye
[05:56] <mMezquitale> Guest95020, this is a good time for you to admit it, tell them it's christmas and that you made a big huge mistake, show them how ubuntu works, maybe they'll like it, then tell them it would be really nice if you had your own computer to experiment on so you wont damage theirs
[05:57] <JimmyJ> That made my night.
[05:57] <vinnie_> lol
[05:57] <mMezquitale> i think he was just pulling our leg though
[05:57] <vinnie_> either he installed kubuntu, or he was smart enough to install konversation
[05:57] <neezer> i hope so.

[06:05] <joe_> cardmanager?
[06:05] <psy0nic> pcmcia card manager
[06:05] <foul_owl> recording no longer works in karmic
[06:06] <foul_owl> no sound in on any channel, with any hardware setting
[06:06] <joe_> i dont know what that is
[06:06] <mMezquitale> foul_owl, did you experience this after upgrading from jaunty to karmic?
[06:06] <foul_owl> yes
[06:07] <mMezquitale> foul_owl, I suggest you search the forums or launch pad, there's a bug somewhere and most likely people are working on it, I would look on launchpad first though
[06:07] <hellyes> I have a folder icon on my desktop that has a lock on it ans an "x" in the upper right corner.  I cannot delete or open it.  It says I don't have permission.  I can
[06:08] <foul_owl> mMezquitale: any sort of failsafe settings?
[06:08] <hellyes> I can't seem to figure out how to give myself permission
[06:08] <psy0nic> try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1237360
[06:08] <hellyes> any ideas?
[06:08] <KalturaUser_rmne> hi guys. trying to install 9.10 over win7. im currently running this on wubu, but when i go in for the kill (to install the whole thing), for some reason i get caught up on page 4. It's trying to show me partitions, but it just shows me this big empty screen. I'm not quite sure what to do, and clicking next gives me an error: "No root file system is defined."
[06:09] <mMezquitale> foul_owl, Ive never had that problem but I have seen people coming in every now and then, unless you luck out and someone here has had the same problem I suggest you look at launchpad and the forum first and then try the channel at another time
[06:09] <IdentityOwl> me to but iam installing over a linux partion
[06:09] <bullgard4> 'man ps'in the section "STANDARD FORMAT SPECIFIERS" lists a table headlined "CODE HEADER DESCRIPTION" to control the output format of the ps command. When do I have to use 'CODE', and when do I have to use 'HEADER'?
[06:09] <psy0nic> you have to remove dmraid Kal
[06:09] <mMezquitale> !who | psy0nic
[06:10] <foul_owl> mMezquitale: thanks. I will keep looking on the internet, on launchpad, forums, and I think I will keep trying here every so often. irc has always given me tons of help
[06:11] <psy0nic> KalturaUser_rmne you have to remove dmraid then rerun the installer
[06:11] <KalturaUser_rmne> psy0nic: what is dmraid?
[06:11] <hellyes> please help! I have a folder icon on my desktop that has a lock on it and an "x" in the upper right corner.  I cannot delete it because it says it's owner is "root". How do I change the permissions / ownership on this so I can delete it? Any ideas?
[06:11] <psy0nic> the package that broke the installer
[06:12] <KalturaUser_rmne> ah, alright.
[06:12] <mMezquitale> foul_owl, yes, irc helps a lot except in the exceptions=bug, when I had a problem nobody knew about they kept telling me to file a bug report but I thought it was useless since most likely it would take forever to get a reply, I was wrong!!!  I got faster responses in launchpad than I do in forums LoL
[06:12] <Quan-Time> hellyes: chmod
[06:12] <Quan-Time> hellyes: in a term window.. "man chmod" which means "manual on chmod command"..
[06:12] <foul_owl> mMezquitale: interesting. perhaps I should try that. can't tell if it's a bug or not. perhaps I will try filing a bug
[06:13] <Some_Person> Why does ubuntu use pulseaudio?
[06:14] <mMezquitale> foul_owl, search first, i've seen quite a few people asking the same question, most likely there's a bug reported already
[06:14] <joe_> psy0nic: I'm pretty new to linux, what is that page saying "yenta_socket"?
[06:14] <foul_owl> mMezquitale: searched quite a bit. nothing so far
[06:14] <Some_Person> I hate it and I have a couple of things configured to use the old oss because of it
[06:14] <KalturaUser_rmne> psy0nic: doing anything with dmraid just gives me back "no raid disks"
[06:14] <timG4> If anyone knows how to get IP-Over-Firewire (eth1394) working, I could use some help.

[06:27] <Some_Person> foul_owl: Go to the alsamixer (remember, pulse runs on alsa), and try fiddling with the various input sources there
[06:27] <Billiard> hasibullah: which scanner do you have?
[06:27] <Some_Person> foul_owl: in particular, the "digital input source"
[06:27] <yaodong>  Is the adsl modems LAN ip  can be setted by me ?
[06:27] <hasibullah> it is plustek optical slim m12

[06:28] <foul_owl> Some_Person: arrow keys to use?
[06:28] <Some_Person> foul_owl: yes
[06:28] <Troggie> joe_, what could be the problem?
[06:28] <Some_Person> foul_owl: scroll over to digital input source, and try setting it to "Analog I"
[06:28] <gebrax> anyone using metasploit?:)
[06:28] <Some_Person> use the up arrow to change that setting
[06:29] <xfact> I have 2 sound line in jack, one for my sub woofer and one for headphone, but ubuntu cannot recognise my second jack, is there any software to help it...? anybody know the solution?

[06:31] <xfact> i need help badly...
[06:31] <Some_Person> foul_owl: No, that's not it
[06:31] <Billiard> hasibullah: what happens when you run the command "sudo scanimage -L"
[06:31] <Some_Person> foul_owl: You scrolled to the right and saw no sort of input source changer?
[06:32] <foul_owl> Some_Person: Yeah, digital input is not anywhere in there, nothing close really. There are "Mic" and "Mic select" channels
[06:32] <datz> what will happen if one attemps to install 64 bit OS on a 32 bit system?
[06:32] <foul_owl> but "Mic" is up at about 65 and mic select is "mic 1"
[06:32] <Billiard> datz: wont boot
[06:32] <Some_Person> datz: it won't work
[06:32] <datz> Billiard: but will install?

[06:33] <Some_Person> foul_owl: try changing the mic select
[06:33] <datz> I see, I wonder if my system is not 64bit capable...
[06:33] <datz> should be
[06:33] <Billiard> datz: the x64 live cd wont boot on a non 64bit system
[06:34] <APERSON> datz, what kind of cpu do you have?
[06:34] <flexible> hey, i'm having issues with my laptop not coming off standby or suspend
[06:34] <foul_owl> Some_Person: No effect. I don't have to restart gnome-sound-recorder every time I make changes to the sound settings do i?
[06:34] <flexible> it just sits there with a black screen, not doing anything and i have to reset it
[06:34] <datz> APERSON: it is a P4, but it should be capable I think
[06:35] <Some_Person> foul_owl: I'm not sure. I do know you have to quit alsamixer though
[06:35] <Some_Person> at least i do for the input settings
[06:35] <Some_Person> no, wait, nevermind, you don't have to quit alsamixer
[06:35] <foul_owl> Some_Person: Hmmm. perhaps that could be the issue. It's hard to tell what has to be "refreshed" so to speak
[06:35] <APERSON> datz, no
[06:35] <Troggie> Can anyone help me please:
[06:36] <Troggie> Hello all. I need some help please. I downloaded Ubuntu 9.10 and my server has RAID 1 SCSI. After the final reboot of the install, the GRUB can't find a bootable hard drive. What can I do?

[06:39] <Billiard> porKI: you wont be able to hibernate without a swap partition
[06:39] <mota_> I already downloaded ndswrapper
[06:39] <foul_owl> Some_Person: No good, still no werk
[06:39] <gaelfx> porKI: depends what you're doing, it should be able to function, but maybe not do all the things you expect it to do
[06:40] <datz> APERSON: thought I read differently, but I'll have to check
[06:40] <porKI> it seems that ubuntu is running slow :-(
[06:40] <mota_> can someone please help me ? please :)
[06:40] <gaelfx> porKI: is there any special reason you didn't make a swap?
[06:40] <Some_Person> foul_owl: Well, I'm not that experienced with these sorts of issues, so I don't know what more to say. You'll have to find someone else
[06:40] <Snares> mota_: What is your problem?
[06:40] <APERSON> datz, if it's dual core, yes, but a p4 isn't dual core
[06:40] <Some_Person> !ask | mota_
[06:41] <mobi-sheep> porKI: I have 3G Ram and I didn't use SWAP either. How fast is your processor? I have 2.6 Ghz and things seems to be smooth for me.
[06:41] <Snares> Ubuntu runs fine on an Atom :P
[06:41] <foul_owl> Some_Person: Thanks for the help!! I appreciate it :)
[06:41] <mota_> I am trying to connect to the internet wireless but I somehow cant :/ I downloaded ndswrapper and it still wont work ...
[06:42] <datz> APERSON: I think it is the Pentium Prescott 506
[06:42] <porKI> ohhk , then it is my processor but xp runs fast as compare to ubuntu
[06:42] <Snares> mota_: Is there encryption on the connection?
[06:42] <mota_> thats like the wep key right ?
[06:42] <Billiard> mota_: did you install your drivers?
[06:42] <Snares> mota_: Yes.
[06:42] <gaelfx> I want to find a decent blu-ray burner for a new compy I'm building, does anyone know of any compatibility lists that actually have relevant information on this topic?  Is there an error message?
[06:43] <datz> APERSON: yes
[06:43] <mota_> no it doesnt even show
[06:43] <gaelfx> mota_: simply downloading ndiswrapper isn't enough, you need to use it to install the correct driver for your wireless card
[06:43] <APERSON> datz, cat /proc/cpuinfo
[06:43] <mota_> like there is no option for wireless
[06:44] <datz> APERSON: I did check, didn't see any 64 :(
[06:44] <porKI> mobi-sheep but why xp runs fast ?
[06:44] <mota_> how do I do that ?
[06:44] <Snares> mota_: Ah. Yeah then it's a driver like gaelfx said :D
[06:44] <datz> APERSON: I guess I must have the 505
[06:44] <mota_> cus I did it with my other computer and it worked fine and on this one it wont work :/
[06:44] <APERSON> datz, that'll tell you what model you have
[06:44] <gaelfx> mota_: do you know what terminal is?
[06:44] <mobi-sheep> porKI: Maybe because you turned off SWAP.  XP use paging file (which is similar0.
[06:44] <mota_> yes
[06:44] <mota_> i do know what terminal is
[06:45] <porKI> how to enable swap then ?
[06:45] <datz> APERSON: the 506 has EM64T
[06:45] <gaelfx> mota_: when you type 'lspci' does it list your wireless card?
[06:45] <Billiard> porKI: what is slow? did you check what is using your cpu the most?
[06:45] <mota_> hmm i dont know hold on
[06:45] <APERSON> datz, cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "model name"
[06:45] <Some_Person> mota_: Go to System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers. See if anything for your wifi is listed there
[06:45] <Billiard> porKI: you can add a swap file or create a swap parition which might require partition resizing
[06:46] <datz> APERSON: http://pastebin.com/m20533e3f
[06:46] <porKI> Billiard , from where should i create swap partition and what size of partition , my ram is 2.5gb
[06:47] <APERSON> datz, nope, no 64 :/
[06:47] <mota_> ok I typed the code on terminal and it said a bunch of stuff i dont understand an on hardware drivers it doesnt list anything at all :/
[06:47] <gaelfx> porKI: if you still have the install CD, you should be able to resize the partition using that in Live mode, though you may have to add the partition editor to the software
[06:47] <datz> APERSON: ah, that would explain the failed installs
[06:47] <gaelfx> mota_: can you pastebin the output of lspci for us?
[06:47] <mota_> yes
[06:47] <APERSON> datz, do you have a particular reason for wanting x64?
[06:47] <datz> APERSON: All this time I thought I had the 506
[06:47] <Billiard> porKI: you should check what process is using your cpu the most, maybe you didnt enable your video drivers?

[06:48] <porKI> Billiard video drivers are enabled

[06:48] <datz> APERSON: not really, going to do a fresh install, thought I'd go for 64 bit this time
[06:48] <Snares> ooooo!
[06:48] <datz> APERSON: seems to run well on my other system
[06:48] <mota_> o no did I get banned ?
[06:48] <gaelfx> mota_: sorry, that was my fault a little bit, I should have been clearer about using pastebin
[06:48] <datz> but that is a quad core
[06:49] <APERSON> datz, it runs well on my end as well, but I have 4GB of ram to use and I do lots of media encoding
[06:49] <gaelfx> mota_: no, but you need to use pastebin to post long messages like that
[06:49]  * Snares points mota_ to http://pastebin.com
[06:49] <mota_> o ok
[06:49] <mota_> i already have it up do I just link you to it ?
[06:50] <Snares> mota_: Yes.

[06:50] <mota_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/346851/
[06:50] <mota_> ok
[06:50] <Snares> mota_: Is this an onboard wireless controller or a PCI slot?
[06:50] <datz> APERSON: well, looks like P4's have only one or two models with 64bit support
[06:50] <mota_> pci slot
[06:51] <gaelfx> mota_: do you know what brand the card is?
[06:51] <mota_> it works fine on windows though i dont know why it doesnt on ubuntu :/
[06:51] <Snares> mota_: I would guess you might need to pull it out and write down the card model, manufacturer, name, etc.
[06:51] <mota_> yea
[06:51] <Snares> mota_: Boot into windows and write down the hardware info on it.
[06:51] <mota_> linksys
[06:51] <Snares> mota_: Do you know the model name?
[06:51] <mota_> umm hold on i think i can get that info
[06:52] <Some_Person> Honestly I think pulseaudio is a pile of crap
[06:52] <timG4> Anyone familiar with IP-Over-Firewire? I'd like to get it working on Jaunty.
[06:52] <Some_Person> I have a couple of things configured to bypass it and use oss instead because of it, although that makes it take control of the sound card

 nothing to tell just edit the grub entry - there are gui that do it or use a text editor

[06:57] <DaZ> ubuntu=winux
[06:57] <Snares> Some_Person: No kidding, I mean, what the heck.
[06:58] <Snares> DaZ: Well if you are of that opinion, then why are you in this channel?
[06:58] <timG4> Anyone know how to configure IP-Over-Firewire (eth1394)? I haven't gotten even a bite on this in hours.
[06:58] <kuttans> Daz: not exactly like that. there are lot of things where both are diff
[06:58] <airtonix> Some_Person, you can uninstall pulse-audio if you want...
[06:58] <Snares> kuttans: It is all, completely, and totally different. If you want to say GTK=Windows, go ahead.
[06:58] <Snares> kuttans: But Ubuntu is not Windows, or even close :P
[06:59] <Snares> That's like saying Mac is Windows.
[06:59] <kuttans> Daz:have you ever come across a os named linspire which was named as lindows previously
[06:59] <Some_Person> airtonix: I can do that, but I'd be left without a gnome-panel icon and my multimedia keys would be broken, due to karmic's overly tight pulseaudio integration
[06:59] <DaZ> Snares: to protect people from ubuntu users advice :3
[06:59] <hasibullah> how can i use my scanner
[06:59] <airtonix> Some_Person, you can take care of the multimedia keys in another way
[06:59] <kuttans> Snares: sure i agree with that by all means
[06:59] <Some_Person> airtonix: How?
[06:59] <Snares> DaZ: Why don't you just leave and stop bashing Ubuntu then. I don't think you really need to protect anyone.
[06:59] <kuttans> hasibullah: use sane and saned for that
[07:00] <airtonix> Some_Person, there is a few programs in the repos i believe that let you tie commands to special keys
[07:00] <Some_Person> airtonix: Ok, and the panel icon?
[07:00] <Psinetic> DaZ, Snares, might be best if you guys took this to #ubuntu-offtopic :)
[07:00] <Snares> Psinetic: Good idea.
[07:00] <kuttans> DaZ: you completely misunderstood ubuntu i guess, go back to basics pls
[07:00] <airtonix> Some_Person, you want a tray icon to control OSS ?
[07:01] <Some_Person> airtonix: No, alsa without pulse

[07:02] <kuttans> DaZ: ubuntu's ideology is something far ahead from technology. so please checkout there for that not here
[07:02] <airtonix> Some_Person, yes but its as close as you get to intrepid or hardy i think

 ok thank you very much  now i need to install that yes
[07:07] <Some_Person> airtonix: Well I need to be able to set custom commands to those keys
[07:07] <kuttans> hasibullah: use synaptic for installing those programs. It is the easy and best way
[07:07] <Some_Person> airtonix: The keyboard shortcuts thing only lets you set various commands to keys
[07:07] <airtonix> Some_Person, yes, so then you need to use the alsamixer cli to make those changes
[07:08] <airtonix> Some_Person, you can run bash scripts too
[07:08] <Some_Person> that will probably work then
[07:08] <Some_Person> thank you very much
[07:08] <hasibullah> how can i use synaptic
[07:09] <airtonix> Some_Person, do you have amixer installed ?
[07:10] <Some_Person> airtonix: yes
[07:10] <chilli0> How is it possable to make apache2 run under a user and not www-data
[07:10] <airtonix> Some_Person, that is the program you'll be using to modif yyour volume then

[07:11] <usuario-master> bueno me voy
[07:11] <chilli0> DaZ,  Elaborate please =P

[07:11] <airtonix> Some_Person, on a passing note : ubuntu karmic was released with an improperly configured pulse audio... hopefully next release it will be done properly.
[07:12] <airtonix> chilli0, why would you want to do that ?

[07:12] <chilli0> DaZ,  Yes But What about it ?
[07:13] <airtonix> Some_Person, im not entirely sure but it is what others (who are more knowledgeable about pulse ) tell me.
[07:13] <DaZ> chilli0: what about it? :f
[07:13] <DaZ> edit it.
[07:13] <chilli0> DaZ, To say what

[07:13] <airtonix> chilli0, DaZ means that the file indicated is where apache determines what user it should use to operate under.
[07:13] <DaZ> chilli0: something you shouldn't [;
[07:14] <chilli0> airtonix,  In what part ?
[07:14] <airtonix> chilli0, it will be fairly obvious once you open the file... (it is excessively commented )
[07:14] <Some_Person> The sound preferences before karmic let you choose your sound system. Karmic forces pulseaudio on you unless you work around it
[07:14] <chilli0> airtonix,  Nop because that file is blonk
[07:15] <hasibullah> how to use synaptic
[07:15] <chilli0> airtonix,  Nop because that file is blank *
[07:15] <mota_> quick question how do I extract with wine ? does anyone know ?
[07:15] <airtonix> then something is not right or you are not using a proper apache install ( at least not from ubuntu repo) because mine is chock block full of settings and text
[07:16] <DaZ> mota_: extract what?
[07:16] <airtonix> mota_, extract with wine? you mean use a windows archive program on a compressed file ?
[07:16] <mota_> linksys drive
[07:16] <mota_> its in .zip and I need to open it
[07:16] <Some_Person> Why is the ubuntu team forcing pulseaudio on us anyway?
[07:16] <DaZ> chilli0: so it's either wrong file or you don't have apache [;
[07:16] <airtonix> mota_, you don't need wine for that
[07:16] <chilli0> DaZ,  I do
[07:17] <chilli0> It was set up for vms
[07:17] <kuttans> ilembitov : keep pressing shift key while the computer is booting you will get the grub menu and from there you can press e and can edit the boot configuration
[07:17] <chilli0> But im removing and reinstallin
[07:17] <hasibullah> how to use scanner
[07:17] <mota_> airtonix this is telling me I do need it
[07:17] <airtonix> mota_, assuming you are using ubuntu and gnome, you right click on the zip file and select extract here

[07:18] <bullgard4> 'man ps'in the section "STANDARD FORMAT SPECIFIERS" lists a table headlined "CODE HEADER DESCRIPTION" to control the output format of the ps command. When do I have to use 'CODE', and when do I have to use 'HEADER'?
[07:18] <DaZ> mota_: wine file.exe
[07:18] <mota_> ok once I have it extracted how do I get it to ork ?
[07:18] <airtonix> mota_, if the exe is just a self extracting archive you can just use the mthod i mentioned
[07:18] <kuttans> hasibullah: synaptic is under system->administration -> synaptic package manager
[07:19] <mota_> daz where do I type that in ?
[07:19] <mota_> daz terminal ?
[07:19] <DaZ> eh
[07:19] <mota_> airtonix how come it wont work ? im sorry this is my first day on ubuntu :/
[07:19] <kuttans> bullgard4 : check how the system monitor shows the processes then you will come to know when to use both of them
[07:19] <DaZ> mota_: i think it'll be more comfortable for you if you just double click the exe [;
[07:20] <APERSON> DaZ, I believe one still has to right click>open with wine
[07:20] <DaZ> mota_: anyway, this thread is three years old
[07:21] <airtonix> 2.6 really
[07:21] <DaZ> APERSON: clicking works for me
[07:21] <mota_> daz but where is the .exe ? it ends with .bin
[07:21] <airtonix> DaZ, maybe you already set exe file types to open with wine
[07:21] <mota_> daz my computer is really old ... :/
[07:22] <APERSON> DaZ, it always wants to open it up as an archive... hmm
[07:22] <airtonix> DaZ, (its not setup like that by default)
[07:22] <DaZ> airtonix: i ubuntu developers are capable of doing it default [;
[07:22] <airtonix> APERSON, right click the exe, properties > open with tab change it to the wine entry
[07:22] <DaZ> whatever. mota_ doesn't matter, the driver is in the kernel imo
[07:23] <bullgard4> kuttans: Your answer is wrong. I am used to use system monitor. It is unrelated to the question which I have put.
[07:23] <APERSON> airtonix, I'll have to do that sometime.  I don't run windows programs much so I always forget to futz with it :)
[07:23] <mota_> where is that ?
[07:24] <airtonix> APERSON, yeah that tab on a file properites box is often over looked for many associations
[07:24] <mota_> i keep right clicking and "open with wine" or something like that and nothing happens :/
[07:24] <kuttans> bullgard4: the system monitor is almost based on the principle of ps command : the list and output format options are almost like selecting columns to be shown in the output of the command. if im wrong im sorry for that
[07:24] <mobi-sheep> mota_: What is this .bin file?
[07:24] <Daughain> mota_; .bin is a cd image file. You need to mount it before you can use it.
[07:24] <airtonix> Daughain, not nessecarily.
[07:25] <DaZ> Daughain: almost
[07:25] <APERSON> .bin could be a binary
[07:25] <mota_> how do I mount it ?
[07:25] <airtonix> mota_,  you dont.
[07:25] <Daughain> Linux...True.....Still adjusting...
[07:25] <kuttans> bullgard4: i guess you might be knowing that unix command outputs are structured in such a way that it can be used as an input to another command, for that purpose there are lot of output modfiers .
[07:25] <bullgard4> kuttans: I know that. But your message does not answer the question which I have put.
[07:25] <mota_> mobi-sheep it is a driver for a linksys wireless card
[07:26] <airtonix> Daughain, you're not wrong though...just in this case the bin comes from a windows driver installer thingy
[07:26] <kuttans> sorry i got the question wrong i guess. let me do a small research and come back to you bullgard4

[07:27] <airtonix> mota_, so you unpacked the exe file you got from the linksys website... step one of the page you linked before...follow the rest of the page
[07:27] <mota_> does any one here know how to get a linksys wmp54gs wireless card to work ?
[07:27] <adante> hi guys
[07:27] <adante> how do i get audio working?
[07:28] <bullgard4> adante: !audio | adante
[07:28] <bullgard4> !audio | adante
[07:28] <airtonix> mota_, it might also be helpful if you gave us the exact url of the page where you downloaded the driver from
[07:28] <Psinetic> can someone help me please? I'm getting an error when I upgrade: The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[07:28] <Psinetic>   ubuntu-ce: Depends: wine-christian-repos but it is not going to be installed
[07:28] <Psinetic> E: Broken packages
[07:29] <mota_> airtonix ok
[07:29] <airtonix> mota_, also in google i typed : "ubuntu karmic WMP54GS" and got : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1342611
[07:29] <mota_> airtonix et al. this is the website : http://www.linksysbycisco.com/US/en/support/WPSM54G/download
[07:30] <adante> bullgard4: is there a way that i could get sound working that doesn't involve 3 hours of work
[07:30] <bullgard4> Psinetic: Most likely you will have to wait (from a few hours to a few days), then retry updating, and everything will proceed smoothly without an error.
[07:30] <airtonix> mota_, you downloaded the 57mb file ?
[07:30] <bullgard4> adante: It depends.
[07:30] <Psinetic> bullgard4, it's been almost a month now :(
[07:30] <Daughain> Psinetic; ALso, make sure you reload your sources for synaptics. I;ve run acros that a few times.
[07:30] <sam_sam> i want to write a shellscript to mount partitions on startup. i wrote mount /dev/disk-x for each partition but when i run the script it gives following error:mount: can't find /dev/sda8 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[07:30] <sam_sam> any solution???
[07:31] <bullgard4> Psinetic: That is too long. I would recommend to file an error report in Launchpad.
[07:31] <mota_> airtonix no i downloaded the 318kb file
[07:31] <BinaryMan> sam_sam: Add the mounts to /etc/fstab
[07:31] <DaZ> sam_sam: why don't just use fstab?
[07:31] <Psinetic> ok
[07:31] <ubuntutrepxe> sam_sam: dude why not just edit /etc/fstab
[07:31] <DaZ> mota_: you'd need the 50mb one
[07:31] <sam_sam> can u explain a bit more ?
[07:31] <airtonix> mota_, the firmware file which i assume is intended to be flashed onto the device and not used as a driver in the operating system of your computer
[07:31] <BinaryMan> sam_sam: type in the following command
[07:32] <ubuntutrepxe> !fstab | sam_sam
[07:32] <DaZ> mota_: but you don't need it because your device is supported by the kernel :f
[07:32] <BinaryMan> sam_sam: sudo -w /etc/fstab
[07:32] <BinaryMan> whoops
[07:32] <BinaryMan> sam_sam: sudo nano -w /etc/fstab
[07:32] <airtonix> mota_, see comment above by DaZ
[07:32] <BinaryMan> I would encourage VI, but that could end up a mess.
[07:32] <DaZ> bcm43xx
[07:32] <airtonix> mota_, i doubt you downloaded a OS driver to be honest
[07:33] <mota_> daz and airtonix thanx :)
[07:33] <sam_sam> ok thank u i will try it :) god bless u
[07:33] <APERSON> !fstab > sam_sam
[07:33] <adante> bullgard4: i do not have a sound group, is my configuration messed up or is this documentation out of date
[07:33] <BinaryMan> sam_sam: Just make a backup of fstab in case you mess it up.
[07:34] <Zionist> anyone around for help on ubuntu how to?
[07:34] <BinaryMan> sam_sam: sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak
[07:34] <fidin> how can i set up my ubuntu to run a dns server for my other local computers
[07:34] <BinaryMan> sam_sam: That'll create a copy of fstab for you.
[07:34] <APERSON> !anyone | Zionist
[07:34] <llutz> fidin: easiest: install/configure dnsmasq
[07:35] <llutz> fidin: else: install/configure bind9
[07:35] <Zionist> do i need to plug in my comp to modem directly via ethernet to properly get drivers
[07:35] <Zionist> working on windows xp atm
[07:35] <sam_sam> thanks binaryman
[07:35] <airtonix> Zionist, ethernet connection is more desirable over all than usb for networking
[07:36] <Zionist> but can i wirelesly find the neccesary drivers needed?
[07:36] <airtonix> Zionist, magically ?
[07:36] <TimbukFive> hey
[07:36] <Zionist> like say right now i was to insert a cd with ubuntu loaded on it..booted and everything
[07:36] <BinaryMan> Zionist: Are you having problems getting your wireless NIC working?
[07:36] <TimbukFive> want to delete files that i have located before with locate
[07:36] <Wakawaka> does someone have any idea why I can ping www.google.com from terminal but i can't browse from firefox? i'm running wmware in nat mode
[07:36] <TimbukFive> how to do?
[07:37] <Zionist> would i beable to wirelessly find a driver neccesary to be able to run windows programs
[07:37] <bullgard4> adante: You need to have a 'audio' group, and pulse needs to be a member of the 'audio' group too.
[07:37] <TimbukFive> !locate
[07:37] <Zionist> BinaryMan no...I haven't started anything yet because i don't want to screw anything up
[07:37] <chilli0> Help lol i removed apache2 then removed the apache2 file in etc
[07:37] <airtonix> TimbukFive, this is a bash question really .
[07:37] <Zionist> so i'm doing whatever research i can before upgradin
[07:38] <BinaryMan> Wakawaka: Applications -> System Tools -> Virtual Network Editor
[07:38] <luie> hi all
[07:38] <chilli0> And reinstalled the folders cameback but no files
[07:38] <TimbukFive> yes it is, but maybe someone knows more :s
[07:38] <luie> about what?
[07:38] <airtonix> TimbukFive, they would at #bash
[07:38] <luie> vmware?
[07:38] <TimbukFive> about locate and deleting files that were located
[07:38] <TimbukFive> ok thanks i do this
[07:39] <luie> what about it?
[07:39] <Wakawaka> BinaryMan what about it? like my internet connection work in terminal in ubuntu but not when in launch firefox
[07:39] <airtonix> TimbukFive, there are some fairly savvy people at #bash
[07:39] <Wakawaka> BinaryMan totaly stumps me what too do :(
[07:39] <adante> bullgard4: lspci -V shows an Intel 82801JI audio control, kernel module snd-hda-intel, i have this module installed, aplay -l does not show any audio devices, where should i go from here?
[07:39] <airtonix> !who luie
[07:39] <luie> have you tried other browsers>
[07:39] <airtonix> !who | luie
[07:39] <luie> ?
[07:39] <luie> cool ubottu
[07:39] <soreau> Wakawaka: What happens when you try to load a page in firefox?
[07:39] <BinaryMan> Wakawaka: Edit your virtual network devices. Personally, I deleted all mine, then created vmnet0 as a NAT, using local DHCP, and had it pick a random subnet to use.
[07:40] <BinaryMan> in my case, <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:40] <airtonix> luie, also people just ignore you if you don't prefix your messages with their name if you want them to notice.
[07:40] <Wakawaka> soreau nothing it just hangs
[07:40] <luie> thanks airtronix
[07:40] <Wakawaka> binaryman will try that
[07:40] <BinaryMan> Then in your network settings within VMWare, change your network device to 'custom' and specify /dev/vmnet0 as the device.
[07:40] <soreau> Wakawaka: What do you mean hangs? Like freezes the computer?
[07:41] <BinaryMan> If you're VM is still powered on, you may have to reconnect the device and request a new IP from DHCP.
[07:41] <Wakawaka> soreau i mean its not giving dns error or anyhting it just; does nothing, it doesnt freeze
[07:41] <soreau> Wakawaka: Does 'ping google.com' work from cli?
[07:41] <Wakawaka> soreau yeah thats the weird part
[07:42] <hellyes> have there been any bug fixes or updates to ubuntu 9.10 yet?  Specifically mounting a network drive from a windows 7 machine?
[07:42] <soreau> Wakawaka: Have you tried a different browser to test if it's just firefox that is the problem?
[07:42] <hellyes> ...ON a windows 7 machine
[07:42] <insmod> question ? new to ipods not linux -- i can load songs on the new touch but it won't go past first screen
[07:42] <chilli0> Help lol i removed apache2 then removed the apache2 file in etc
[07:42] <chilli0> And reinstalled the folders cameback but no files
[07:42] <mobi-sheep> Wakawaka: Check your /etc/resolv.conf
[07:43] <soreau> mobi-sheep: If it was a nameserver issue, pinging google from cli wouldn't work either
[07:43] <bullgard4> adante: Your audio configuration is messed up if '~$ aplay -l' does not show any audio devices. Did you check the audio group (what I advised you earlier)?
[07:44] <adante> bullgard4: yes, i agree my audio configuration is messed up, yes, i am now a member of the audio group
[07:44] <bullgard4> s/what/which/

just write one
[07:50] <kajo> hey, I have a Dell 640, and all of a sudden last night I started hearing this awful grinding noise. At first I thought it was my old DVD drive, so I removed it because the noise was awful. Sound continued, and I was really afraid for a short time it was my hard drive.  Tried moving the laptop around, getting clues, unplugging, removing battery... I am 99% sure now, though,
[07:50] <kajo> that this is the fan. WTF happened, and what can I do to fix this? Google doesn't show anything that seems to really hit the spot. Running it now, btw, for a long period of time (I have a pentium 4m processor, which can get hot) will cause auto-shutdown from the heat sensor now.
[07:50] <chilli0> om26er,  I think that theres an issue there

[08:12] <kajo> ridiculous as in "grinding", out of nowhere.
[08:12] <mobi-sheep> Daughain: Try "sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh"
[08:12] <kajo> thanks, menza, didn't know.
[08:12] <luie> kajo that is a hardware issue
[08:12] <Circs> MenZa, Could be S/W related
[08:12] <Daughain> mobi-sheep,  Thanks.
[08:13] <MenZa> Circs: That /is/ true.  Go on?
[08:14] <ubuntunewbie>  luie: where can I find  nvidia-xconfig file ?
[08:14] <MenZa> ubuntunewbie: It's a program. It comes with restricted NVIDIA drivers.
[08:14] <MenZa> !nvidia > ubuntunewbie
[08:15] <ubuntar> chilli0_: a2dismod: not found < may be you already removed it?
[08:15] <Circs> MenZa, I'm trying to get zsnes on my netbook, it gives me the whole "Your computer cannot install this" blah blah (lpia) bit how do I rectify this?
[08:15] <usamahashimi> hi
[08:15] <chilli0_> ubuntar,  I did remove the file , but how can i remove the pakage
[08:15] <usamahashimi> how can i access my ubuntu 9.10 from windows xp?
[08:15] <ubuntar> chilli0_: install again and try
[08:15] <MenZa> Circs: By downloading an lpia binary, or compiling from source I guess.
[08:15] <MenZa> usamahashimi: What does that mean?
[08:16] <Daughain> mobi-sheep,  Do I need to reboot the system after?? I'm still getting a 'no plugins' \error.
[08:16] <chilli0_> ubuntar,  Reinstall you mean. and i did try
[08:16] <mobi-sheep> Daughain: Plugins for what?
[08:16] <MenZa> Circs: Oh wait, it's not a standalone architecture.
[08:16] <MenZa> Circs: That's weird. It beats me. :\
[08:16] <Daughain> mobi-sheep, No clue. thats all movie player says.
[08:16] <mobi-sheep> Daughain: Restart the movie player.
[08:16] <ubuntar> chilli0_: script trying to remove something doesn't exist,so install it again and try not to delete without script
[08:16] <usamahashimi> MenZa: ubuntu filesystem is ext4 and obviously not showing in XP so i am looking for some software to access that ext4 drive from windows xp
[08:17] <Circs> MenZa, I really thought this was going to be easy. My netbook CAN run i386 code
[08:17] <MenZa> usamahashimi: You can't.
[08:17] <MenZa> usamahashimi: Sorry :(
[08:17] <Daughain> I have repeatedfly......Unless it isn't closing properly....
[08:17] <MenZa> usamahashimi: There are ext2 drivers which, to an extent, work with ext3 filesystems, but trying it with ext4 might blow up your filesystem, and I wouldn't recommend it.
[08:17] <Circs> maybe there's some force option
[08:17] <usamahashimi> MenZa: ext2ifs can access ext3 but it is not accessing ext4
[08:17] <MenZa> usamahashimi: Mhm.
[08:18] <Daughain> mobi-sheep, I close out after every try. Still no luck.
[08:18] <kheera> usamahashimi: you can create a new partition on your drive for a filesystem that ubuntu and xp can share, then move your /home folder onto the new partition.
[08:18] <kisuke> how would one change the ubuntu logon screen
[08:18] <Circs> MenZa, This is appalling
[08:18] <mobi-sheep> Daughain: What media player? VLC?
[08:18] <Circs> MenZa, /me attacks intel with a rusty chainsaw
[08:18] <mobi-sheep> Circs: You could try "sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture packageName.deb"
[08:19] <ubuntar> chilli0_: find what is a2dismod and why script cannot delete it
[08:19] <Circs> mobi-sheep, Weee
[08:19] <MenZa> Circs: I apologise for not knowing that :<
[08:19] <Daughain> mobi-sheep, applications/sound&video/Movie Player    Thats all I know.
[08:19] <MenZa> kisuke: One wouldn't.
[08:19] <usamahashimi> kheera: i want to copy some data from my home dir to xp without rebooting xp
[08:19] <MenZa> usamahashimi: Sounds like you're out of luck :(
[08:20] <mobi-sheep> Daughain: Run in the terminal "sudo aptitude install vlc" and check again in Apps --> Sounds & Videos again.
[08:20] <chilli0_> ubuntar, This is annoying me so much
[08:20]  * mobi-sheep does not need to say again twice. :<
[08:20] <Daughain> Ok,,,
[08:20] <Circs> could someone tell me what the package name of zsnes is?
[08:20] <MenZa> !find zsnes
[08:20] <MenZa> Circs: zsnes.
[08:20] <kisuke> MenZa: why not? ye drums are starting to get annoying
[08:20] <MenZa> :p
[08:20] <Circs> Hmmm
[08:20] <Circs> Doom is imminent
[08:20] <kheera> usamahashimi: how much data?  you could email it to yourself if small, or put it on a thumb drive.
[08:21] <MenZa> kisuke: Oh, the /sound/?
[08:21] <MenZa> kheera: That would still require a reboot :p
[08:21] <kheera> oooh. hes in xp now.
[08:21] <MenZa> kheera: aaaye.
[08:21] <Daughain> mobi-sheep,  Let ya know when it finishes.
[08:21] <MenZa> kisuke: I forget, sorry :(
[08:21] <kisuke> menza: among other things but mainly yeah
[08:21] <bullgard4> Synaptic: "gvfs is a userspace virtual filesystem where mount runs as a separate process which you talk to via dbus. It also contains a gio module that seamlessly adds gvfs support to all applications using the gio API. It also supports exposing the gvfs mounts to non-gio applications using fuse." What for is gvfs (or gvfsd) used mostly?
[08:22] <ManBloOD> Hello, I can't load the ubuntu system, I got error please help me to make it load ( error message : mountall : symbol lookup error : mountall underfinded symbol : udev_monitor_filter_add_match_subsystem_devtype
[08:22] <ManBloOD> init: mountall main process (655) terminated with status 127
[08:22] <Circs> weird why can't my synaptic or apt-get find zsnes but add/remove can?
[08:22] <ManBloOD> !help
[08:23] <Daughain> mobi-sheep,  Ok, vlc is installed.
[08:23] <mobi-sheep> Circs: It is easier to search for stuffs in terminal than synaptic IMO.
[08:24] <Circs> mobi-sheep, Neither responds to zsnes, sudo apt-get install zsnes responds with cannot find package
[08:24] <Circs> Which, according to ubottu, is garbage
[08:24] <mota_> hi can someone help me enable and configure your wireless device ? please.
[08:24] <mobi-sheep> Circs: I see snes9x-x and snes9express (GTK+ front-end for snes9x)
[08:25] <mota_> Enable and configure *my wireless device xp
[08:25] <bullgard4> Circs: Contrary to what you said, my Synaptic finds zsnes.
[08:25] <Circs> bullgard4, Yes, i thiunk mine is borked
[08:25] <rww> !info zsnes
[08:25] <rww> Circs: note the "only available for i386 amd64" part :\
lots of work for one person to help -- you have to write an interface file and learn iwconfig and iwlist
[08:26] <bullgard4> Circs: Hurry up to get repaired your Synaptic.
[08:26] <Circs> Why can't I just have the deb file then?
[08:26] <mota_> :/
[08:26] <Wakawaka> anyone run VMWARE & Ubuntu with Wireless? how did they succed
[08:26] <chilli0_> ubuntar, This is the error E: libapache2-mod-python: subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1
[08:26] <Daughain> mobi-sheep, Itplays in vlc. Thanks.
[08:27] <mobi-sheep> rww: I'm using amd64 but I don't see zsnes. Wtt!
[08:27] <mobi-sheep> Daughain: You're welcome. :-)
[08:27] <Circs> Hate to do it this way, but could someone just download the .deb and post it somewhere for me?
[08:27] <mota_> insmod so there is no way for me to get my wireless card to work is there ?
[08:27] <ubuntar> chilli0_: as i said, find what is a2dismod and why script cannot delete it
[08:27] <rww> mobi-sheep: mmm, there's totally a bug report for the amd64 one
[08:27] <Daughain> Just wish I knew why it wouldnt play in movie player like it did under 9.04
[08:27]  * rww hunts
[08:27] <mobi-sheep> Circs: http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[08:27] <Circs> mobi-sheep, Genius.
sure
[08:28] <flexible> can anyone here help me get my laptop wifi card working properly? it keeps dropping out, even when i'm 2 metres from the router
 I can tell you how but i won't walk you through (to long) just look it up
[08:28] <TangentCollision> does anyone know how I could make a presistant live USB drive of ubuntu netbook remix?
[08:28] <mota_> insmod I've tried everything and it wont work :'( I'm on step 5 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=381594
[08:28] <TangentCollision> I do not have 4 gb of space to spare
[08:28] <ubuntar> flexible: try iwconfig
[08:29] <flexible> and post my results?
[08:29] <rww> mobi-sheep: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zsnes/+bug/184255 is why amd64 isn't happening. There are complicated differences I don't understand between the list ubottu uses and reality that exist for some reason I also don't understand, iirc.
 let me make it easy
[08:29] <ubuntar> no it is tool for configure wifi
[08:29] <mota_> insmod ok
[08:29] <ranjan> hello every body can any body help me in finding the hidden link which are embed on on-line  flash based player for viewing on-line streaming videos
[08:29] <ubuntar>  flexible: just read man iwconfig may be it will help
[08:30] <petsounds> !usb > TangentCollision
 first is it supported card or do you need ndiswrapper
[08:30] <flexible> ubuntar: i've already iwconfig'd... i'm not sure what you are wnting me to find...
[08:30] <mota_> i need ndiswrapper and Ive already downloaded it
[08:30] <mota_> insmod ^^^^
[08:31] <chadi> after doing a clean install on 9.10, I noticed that pidgin is not there anymore. Why was it out of the distro?
[08:31] <TangentCollision> petsounds: thank you for the page
[08:31] <Circs> lol gdebi installed it, no issues.
[08:31] <ubuntar> flexible: there are many options -power and others you configured all of them&
[08:31] <petsounds> TangentCollision, np :-)
[08:31] <TangentCollision> petsounds: you think this will work for the silliness that is UNR?
 install load the module then check ifconfig and iwconfig for the name wlan0 or ath0 etc
[08:31] <cjones> why have we lost support for kino ?
[08:32] <TangentCollision> I have no other reason to water my brain down then
[08:32] <Daughain> chadi; No clue, bit ya can always go ahead and install it. I did.
[08:32] <cards_00> hi
[08:32] <Circs> mobi-sheep, For future reference, if anyone has a similar issue with lpia arch, just link them to the .deb and let gdebi handle it like butter
[08:32] <chadi> Daughain sure, just wondering why it is not there :/
[08:32] <mota_> insmod run those commands on terminal right ?
[08:32] <flexible> ubuntar: that won't help if it is a driver problem though will it?
[08:32] <petsounds> TangentCollision, yes it will work, i'm using UNR and have one persistent usb
[08:32] <flexible> ubuntar: for example, now, it won't even connect
[08:32] <Daughain> chadi; Wish I could tell you. I tried empathy, and wasnt to fond of it either.
[08:32] <cjones> |kino
[08:33] <Guest88712> wow
[08:33] <Guest88712> cool
[08:33] <cjones> !kino
[08:33] <mobi-sheep> Circs: The way I see it, lpia is eerily similar to i386 with few adjustments for power, but I'd stick with i386 as there are more (or better) support.
[08:33] <chadi> yeah, nor were I
[08:34] <ubuntar> flexible: if it is driver - than may be try to update the driver, or if the driver inside kernel,may be to update the kernel
[08:34] <cjones> why have we lost support for kino ?
[08:34] <Circs> mobi-sheep, Yeah generally a better idea, but shrug
[08:34] <mota_> insmod I just ran it an it says "no wireless extentions." for both lo and etho does that mean my card is messed up ?
[08:34] <mota_> insmod it works fine on windows I dont know what else to do O.O
 that's because you never set up ndiswrapper ----- then add the correct lines to /ect/network/interfaces
[08:35] <mobi-sheep> mota_: Have you seen !hardware to find information on your laptop make/model?
 then ifup <x> done
[08:36] <flexible> ubuntar: i've updated according to the update manager
[08:36] <mota_> insmod how do I set up ndiswrapper ?
[08:37] <mota_> mobi-sheep what do you mean ?
[08:37] <ubuntar> you can try to go to kernel.org and dowload latest kernel,compile it and may be your problem will be fixed
[08:37] <ubuntar> flexible:
[08:37] <mota_> mobi-sheep Im on a desktop
 run ndiswrapper and install the windows driver
[08:38] <ManBloOD> How I can boot if there is problems with files, I have try ctrl+alt+ f2 but its show cursor but nothing happen also..
[08:38] <flexible> should i try and use ndiswrapper
[08:38] <cjones> why have we lost support for kino ?
[08:38] <ubuntar> flexible: find manuals about kernel compilation
[08:38] <mota_> insmod how do i run it ? where is it at ?
[08:38] <ManBloOD> please, help me.
[08:38] <mobi-sheep> mota_: Okay. Could you supply information on your usb wifi card?
[08:39] <ubuntar> flexible: or just try other config of iwconfig
 i told you I can tell you what to do but i can't explain everything (takes to long) just look it up
[08:39] <ubuntar> flexible: play with the settings )
[08:39] <mota_> mobi-sheep it is not usb it is pci and it is a linksys wmp54gs and Ive been following this : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=381594
[08:39] <ManBloOD> please, help me i just try to boot..
[08:40] <ubuntar> ManBloOD: check you CD for errors
[08:40] <mota_> insmod ok thanx :) Ill google it
[08:40] <lstarnes> ManBloOD: do you get any error messages in the first tty (ctrl+alt+f1) when booting>
[08:40] <lstarnes> ManBloOD: also, you can use dmesg to view the system messages log
[08:41] <mobi-sheep> mota_: http://tinyurl.com/6cl8v2
[08:41] <Circs> Well now I have the emulator, but no sound
[08:42] <ManBloOD> here is error message i have : mountall : symbol lookup error : mountall underfinded symbol : udev_monitor_filter_add_match_subsystem_devtype  init: mountall main process (655) terminated with status 127
[08:43] <lstarnes> ManBloOD: that's a very strange erorr...
[08:43] <lstarnes> ManBloOD: are you booting from a hard disk?
[08:43] <ManBloOD> Yes, I am
[08:43] <ManBloOD> I just upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10
[08:44] <lstarnes> ManBloOD: have you tried booting into the recovery mode?
[08:44] <mota_> mobi-sheep thank you :D
[08:44] <ManBloOD> How I can boot into recovery mode ?
[08:45] <royas> hai
[08:45] <lstarnes> ManBloOD: there should be an option in the GRUB menu when you boot that mentions "recovery mode"
[08:45] <royas> anybody home?
[08:45] <Daughain> Sup.
[08:46] <mobi-sheep> mota_: It worked? ;o
[08:46] <royas> hi cece
[08:46] <ManBloOD> How I can get this GRUB menu, when i load i should press something isn't ?
[08:46] <chilli0_> ubuntar, Noting i do works i think im gonna reinstall ubuntu
[08:47] <mobi-sheep> ManBloOD: If you're using Karmic (clean installation), hold SHIFT during boot to enter GRUB2 Menu.
[08:47] <lstarnes> ManBloOD: it's the boot menu that should appear right before you boot ubuntu
[08:47] <lstarnes> ManBloOD: you might have to press ESC or SHIFT right before ubuntu loads to access it
[08:49] <ManBloOD> Thanks, I have found it, When I load first recovery mode its give me same error again : mountall : symbol lookup error : mountall underfinded symbol : udev_monitor_filter_add_match_subsystem_devtype  init: mountall main process (655) terminated with status 127
[08:50] <lstarnes> ManBloOD: that might have been caused by something breaking during the upgrade
[08:50] <chilli0_> How can i Just reinstall ubuntu ? ( I have /home on a diffrent partion ) I dont want ubuntu to do anything to that
[08:50] <ManBloOD> but i found many recovery modes, I have try another, Its giving me same error again
[08:50] <chilli0_> Just reinstall ubuntu
[08:51] <Flannel> chilli0_: When you're at the partition step, you'll mark your home partition as having a mountpoint of /home, and then make sure it's not marked to format, and then it'll be used as /home without being touched
[08:51] <lstarnes> chilli0_: you will need to get a desktop install livecd or the alternate cd and use that to reinstall
[08:51] <lstarnes> ManBloOD: you might need to reinstall ubuntu
[08:51] <Daughain> 9.10 doesnt seem to like upgrading. fresh install solved al of my problems.
[08:51] <chilli0_> Flannel, Thanks
[08:52] <ManBloOD> did i lost files and everything in the system now?
[08:52] <ManBloOD> :(
[08:52] <Daughain> COuld try pulling the HD and installing it on another system to do a backup,ManBlood
[08:52] <lstarnes> ManBloOD: if you configured ubuntu to use /home as a separate partition, then you should at least be able to keep everything in your home directory
[08:53] <ManBloOD> I have the CD of ubuntu 9.10
[08:53] <ManBloOD> Am I able to just replace the missing files of the core system?
[08:54] <lstarnes> ManBloOD: is it the alternate cd?
[08:54] <CarpeNoctum> what will i miss if i install ubuntu on virtual machine ?
[08:54] <lstarnes> CarpeNoctum: access to much of your hardware
[08:54] <CarpeNoctum> for example
[08:54] <ManBloOD> Its CD I burn from file : ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso
[08:55] <lstarnes> CarpeNoctum: like your hard disks
[08:55] <CarpeNoctum> if i install ubuntu on
[08:55] <lstarnes> ManBloOD: that's the desktop cd, not the alternate
[08:55] <CarpeNoctum> virtual machine can i run
[08:55] <CarpeNoctum> eggdrop ?
[08:55] <lstarnes> CarpeNoctum: yes
[08:55] <CarpeNoctum> can i make ubuntu work with my wifi card
[08:55] <minerale> I have a (30gb) tar.gz-ipped file that expands to 360gb. Is it possible to ask tar to create a sparse file on output?
[08:55] <CarpeNoctum> on virtual machine of course
[08:55] <ManBloOD> Should I get the alternate ?
[08:56] <lstarnes> CarpeNoctum: but you won't have access to some things like actual hard disks, wifi cards, (in some VM programs) USB, and (in some VMs) hardware graphics accelerations
[08:56] <CarpeNoctum> my lan card?
[08:56] <lstarnes> ManBloOD: you might be able to use that to repair your existing installation, but I need someone else to check that
[08:56] <lstarnes> CarpeNoctum: you can't use that either
[08:56] <CarpeNoctum> so no internet access
[08:56] <lstarnes> ManBloOD: otherwise, you can make a clean install from the desktop cd
[08:56] <lstarnes> CarpeNoctum: you can have internet access
[08:56] <CarpeNoctum> ok well ill try this
[08:57] <CarpeNoctum> how ?
[08:57] <lstarnes> CarpeNoctum: but you have to configure the VM software to handle that
[08:57] <CarpeNoctum> im using microsoft virtual pc
[08:57] <CarpeNoctum> any help with that
[08:57] <lstarnes> CarpeNoctum: ##windows is the best irc channel for asking about microsoft products
[08:58] <CarpeNoctum> thank you :)
[08:58] <lstarnes> CarpeNoctum: there are also other virtualization programs, like virtualbox and vmware
[08:58] <ManBloOD> I get it now, I can repair with Alternate CD is that correct?
[08:58] <lstarnes> ManBloOD: you might be able to do that, but I'm not sure
[08:58] <lstarnes> ManBloOD: it would be safest to do a clean reinstall
[08:58] <CarpeNoctum> wich one is the best for ubuntu in virtual machine
[08:58] <CarpeNoctum> like have much access
[08:59] <lstarnes> CarpeNoctum: I haven't tried virtual pc or vmware, but virtualbox has a lot of features (at least when it is running with linux as the host.  I've never used it on windows so it might be different in windows)
[08:59] <CarpeNoctum> okey
[08:59] <CarpeNoctum> than
[09:00] <CarpeNoctum> virtuals
[09:00] <CarpeNoctum> are nothing
[09:00] <CarpeNoctum> i must try it real
[09:00] <FloodBot2> CarpeNoctum: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:00] <CarpeNoctum> oh sorry i know now that i must use one line , anyway i have windows xp on my machine how can i make two boots ubuntu and windows ?
