[14:50] <boymeetsworld> I'm trying to install catalyst control center after the ubuntu guide and i get...Errors were encountered while processing:xorg-driver-fglrx_8.712-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
[14:50] <boymeetsworld> What should I do in this case?
[14:50] <mypcwontstart> Why doesn't anyone help me out? I can't even get my computer started. Pretty please could someone help?
[14:51] <Dr_Willis> mypcwontstart:  you are using a LVM?
[14:51] <KRiMoRaL> I have a 32bit installation on an external HDD that I can move from computer to computer, but my main computer is a 64bit. Can I use a 64bit version of Ubuntu, and have it work when I plug it into a 32bit computer?
[14:51] <mypcwontstart> Dr_Willis, yes
[14:51] <tsyj2007> boymeetsworld: you are sure you have installed ubuntu-64
[14:51] <boymeetsworld> tsyj2007, as in an operating sistem? ubuntu amd 64 version?
[14:51] <tsyj2007> yes
[14:52] <tsyj2007> boymeetsworld: yes
[14:52] <boymeetsworld> tsyj2007,  yes i'm shure...
[14:52] <tsyj2007> you can use ubuntu software center
[14:52] <boymeetsworld> tsyj2007,  i run ubuntu amd 64 version for my t4300 intel processor:)
[14:52] <tsyj2007> boymeetsworld: you can use ubuntu software center
[14:53] <boymeetsworld> tsyj2007,  ubuntu software center for catalyst control center?
[14:53] <boymeetsworld> tsyj2007,  ohh works:D
[14:53] <boymeetsworld> tsyj2007,  thanks:P
[14:54] <mypcwontstart> Dr_Willis, are you there?
[14:55] <KRiMoRaL> I think my question got passed in the middle of the boymeetsworld session
[14:56] <mypcwontstart> I'm getting "mount of root filesystem failed". So, after following this tutorial http://www.ubuntugeek.com/rescue-an-encrypted-luks-lvm-volume.html what should I do next? Any help would be kindly appreciated!
[14:56] <boymeetsworld> tsyj2007,  I have succesfully installed it but can't run it under administrative...only the normal session works
[14:57] <boymeetsworld> tsyj2007,  i have 2 sub menues created in the applications>other sections...one is normal and one has(administrative)
[14:57] <tsyj2007> boymeetsworld: yes ,it is a bug
[14:57] <boymeetsworld> tsyj2007, Failed to execute child process "amdxdg-su" (No such file or directory) that;s what i get only when I run the (administrative) if not, works fine..
[14:57] <unixp> hi, what must i adjust if on every boot the screen solution scales to 640x480 instead of 1920x1080?  I use the nvidia graphics driver for my MX440
[14:58] <boymeetsworld> tsyj2007,  what can i do? :| I can't modify everything with that normal session
[14:58] <tsyj2007> boymeetsworld: mine does'not work too
[14:58] <boymeetsworld> tsyj2007,  :|
[14:58] <boymeetsworld> tsyj2007,  so it's a global bug?
[14:59] <tsyj2007> boymeetsworld: but I think you can run harddrive
[14:59] <tsyj2007> boymeetsworld: in system->admin->

[14:59] <Gibby> Morning everyone, I have a problem, I had 64bit 9.10 installed for the past 3 months, for a number of reasons I wanted to go to 32bit, so I backed everything, downloaded the latest iso, and installed with no problems, how ever when it boots I get nothing the little Ubuntu circle then just a black screen. So I thought it was b/c my swap was 8g and I had 4G Ram installed, so I went to a 2G Swap file and 1G ram still nothing, after about a dozen installs, I dec

[15:00] <boymeetsworld> tsyj2007,  I didn't got that, didn't understand to well...it works yes but not with administrative things
[15:00] <LucidGuy> brain fart math question.  Doing simple performance tests and trying to figure how much faster one system is over the other, percentage wise.  Eg. SysA completes in 24 seconds and SysB completes in 37 seconds.  SysA is faster but by how much percentage wise?
[15:00] <guntbert> !ot | LucidGuy
[15:00] <tsyj2007> boymeetsworld: I think it is not important

[15:03] <yolanda> how are you?
[15:03] <tsyj2007> boymeetsworld: linux is safe
[15:03] <sipior> LucidGuy: it is correct.

[15:05] <khem_> what module should i be using for Philips TalkTalk SNU5630NS/05 Wireless Adapter
[15:05] <khem_> ?
[15:05] <guntbert> Gibby: that was an unfounded assumptiom about too much ram and swap
[15:05] <boymeetsworld> tsyj2007,  ok thanks so much:D
[15:05] <Gibby> guntbert, I figured I would just do that, then enable PAE and go back to 4G Ram
[15:05] <lucy2> i want to request a packete from commity. how can i do it
[15:05] <yolanda> hello?
[15:05] <amikrop_> Hello, I have a DELL Latitude D820 and Bluetooth doesn't work (I can't send or receive files). When I do an lsusb I get "Bus 002 Device 005: ID 413c:8103 Dell Computer Corp. Wireless 350 Bluetooth". Any help, please?
[15:05] <unixp> hi, what must i adjust that the screen solution not automatically adjust to 640x480 on every boot instead of 1920x1080?  I use the nvidia graphics driver for my MX440
[15:05] <ardchoille> yolanda: Please take off-topic chat to another channel
[15:06] <yolanda> italked in spanish
[15:06] <guntbert> Gibby: btw what means "latest iso" ?
[15:06] <costre> boymeetsworld, tsyj2007 speaks the truth. Unless you're a retard and get fooled by sites masking as other sites, you have little to worry about :)
[15:06] <Gibby> guntbert, I have so many ISO's, I just went a downloaded a new one, also I am using the Alternate installer
[15:06] <yolanda> i don't understand?
[15:07] <costre> yolanda, This channel is for ubuntusupport only
[15:07] <lucy2> i want to request a packete from commity. how can i do it
[15:07] <LucidGuy> erUSUL, so you are saying 37 is about 54% largers then 24?
[15:07] <hcl2> amikrop_: xrandr -s 1920x1080  then https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution#Setting xrandr changes persistently
[15:07] <guntbert> !md5sum | Gibby (and I asked for the ubuntu version)
[15:07] <boymeetsworld> costre, well I see but was scared because I heard about a lot of script kiddiez using scanners to crack into machines and install shells on it, psybnc and etc..
[15:07] <boymeetsworld> :)
[15:07] <yolanda> hello
[15:07] <Gibby> guntbert, 9.10
[15:07] <costre> lucy2,  You mean like Synaptic Manager?
[15:08] <amikrop_> hcl2: I assume this wasn't for me.
[15:08] <MrSunshine> hmm, when getting the kernel sources, where do they end up ?
[15:08] <lucy2> no i want a packege which ubuntu doent official support.
[15:08] <guntbert> Gibby: then the md5sum check still applies
[15:08] <hcl2> amikrop_: yep, sorry.  i meant unixp
[15:08] <yolanda> chao
[15:09] <Gibby> guntbert, k, I will have to figure out to do that in Windows, 1 sec
[15:09] <costre> lucy2, There are thousands .... Google it :) If you find a software that has a *.deb-file, you can install it as usual
[15:09] <lucy2> costre, i want a packege which ubuntu doesnt support officaly
[15:09] <KRiMoRaL> if i install 64bit on my external, will it still work if i plug it into a 32 bit machine?
[15:09] <lucy2> costre, ppc
[15:09] <yolanda> fungo hello
[15:09] <sipior> KRiMoRaL: it won't, no.
[15:10] <costre> KRiMoRaL, Odds are slim it will work even iof they both are 32-.bit
[15:10] <e-DIO-t> KRiMoRaL: guess no!
[15:10] <hcl2> amikrop_: gnome or kde? or how are you trying to send bt files?
[15:10] <fungo_> Disconnected (Connection reset by peer) why?
[15:10] <mhall119> lucy2: you want a package made for PPC, or you want Ubuntu ported to PPC?
[15:10] <boymeetsworld> Dr_Willis,  I got freecol, the tar.gz precompiled, extracted it but how do i start it?
[15:10] <costre> lucy2, PowerPC?
[15:10] <yolanda> hola mi nombre es yolanda
[15:10] <KRiMoRaL> it works currently with 32 bit, but my main is a 64, so i wanted to take advantage of it
[15:10] <lucy2> package for ppc
[15:10] <erUSUL> LucidGuy: yes
[15:10] <KRiMoRaL> but have it still work when i move it
[15:11] <lucy2> costre, package for ppc
[15:11] <lucy2> costre, package for ubuntu on ppc
[15:11] <mhall119> lucy2: is the source package in Ubuntu's repos?
[15:11] <sharat87> hello, I installed capistrano with 'gem install capistrano', but when I issue the 'cap' command, i get this error: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/195979/ . I learnt from #capistrano that this might be an ubuntu specific issue.. anybody know how to fix this?
[15:11] <amikrop_> hcl2: gnome. from the icon on the panel. right click - send files: I find the bt enabled cellphone but can't send to it
[15:11] <lucy2> mhall119,  yes
[15:12] <lucy2> mhall119,  launch pad
[15:12] <hcl2> amikrop_: are you pairing with the phone properly?
[15:12] <amikrop_> hcl2: what do you mean pairing?
[15:12] <yolanda> no
[15:12] <amikrop_> phone has bt enabled (to be sent)
[15:12] <Dr_Willis> boymeetsworld:  you do realize that freecol is in the package manager?
[15:12] <mhall119> lucy2: then you can "apt-get source $packagename" and "apt-get build-dep $packagename", then compile it yourself for PPC
[15:12] <yolanda> yes
[15:12] <amikrop_> hcl2: but sending a files from the laptop fails
[15:12] <Dr_Willis> boymeetsworld:  no need to use the tar.gz at all
[15:12] <mhall119> assuming the code compiles on PPC
[15:13] <yolanda> ok
[15:13] <KRiMoRaL> If I install the 10 beta, when the lts releases, will it upgrade, or will I have to install the new version?
[15:13] <hcl2> amikrop_: is your phone set to be discovered, and does the PC notify you that it found a new device and asks for a PIN?
[15:13] <amikrop_> hcl2: maybe I should check if bt is enabled at all in my pc?
[15:13] <Dr_Willis> KRiMoRaL:  you can upgrade.. thats a priomary feature of the package manager system. :)
[15:13] <boymeetsworld> Dr_Willis,  yeah but an older version
[15:13] <amikrop_> hcl2: it is set to be discovered and I don't get notified no
[15:13] <sipior> sharat87: do you have the libopenssl-ruby package installed?
[15:13] <Dr_Willis> boymeetsworld:  read the docs - it tells the command. i doubt if theres much differance in the new vs older version
[15:13] <boymeetsworld> Dr_Willis,  and on the website there is a newer version
[15:13] <lucy2> mhall119, im gonna try
[15:13] <hcl2> amikrop_: from a console, dmesg | grep tooth
[15:13] <sharat87> sipior: will check
[15:14] <hcl2> it shoudl say something about HCI initialized
[15:14] <boymeetsworld> Dr_Willis,  i read them it sais you need Java Virtual Machine version 1.5.0 or above...in order to start with the game
[15:14] <sharat87> sipior: no, shall I install it?
[15:14] <Dr_Willis> boymeetsworld:  yes. You do need java installed. its a java game.
[15:14] <sipior> sharat87: might be a good start :-)
[15:14] <amikrop_> hcl2: it has several lines
[15:14] <sharat87> ok, doing it now :)
[15:14] <KRiMoRaL> last question, when i start ubuntu 9.10, there are the options at the bottom of the login screen, the ones that say gnome and gnome safe, is there a way to add kde to that menu? i'm relativly new to linux, and would like have the option of floating back and forth without have to do a whole lot of un-understadable configuring :/
[15:15] <boymeetsworld> Dr_Willis,  i should get it from the java website? the newest version?
[15:15] <amikrop_> hcl2: many things initialized
[15:15] <hcl2> HCI device?
[15:15] <Dr_Willis> KRiMoRaL:  if you install kubuntu-desktop it adds kde to that menu
[15:15] <hcl2> L2CAP and RFCOMM ?
[15:15] <mhall119> boymeetsworld: openjdk and sun-java are in Ubuntu's repos
[15:15] <Dr_Willis> boymeetsworld:  no.. USE THE package Manager...
[15:15] <hcl2> if so, then you probably have bluetooth enabled on your pc
[15:15] <unixp> hcl2,  could i also enter the screen solution just in the xorg.conf?
[15:15] <KRiMoRaL> Dr_Willis: will it also still have gnome?
[15:15] <Dr_Willis> boymeetsworld:  you are falling back to your windows habbits... :)
[15:15] <lucy2> mhall119,  it downloading some thing
[15:15] <Dr_Willis> KRiMoRaL:  of course.
[15:16] <unixp> hcl2, so that it boots every time with that?
[15:16] <Dr_Willis> KRiMoRaL:  you caninstall a dozen ddesktops/window managers and most add a proper entry to that menu
[15:16] <boymeetsworld> Dr_Willis,  well not really but the ubuntu software center doesn;t have the latest things updated..
[15:16] <hcl2> unixp: i think so, that's what the wiki says.  you can make the xrandr changes permanent by adding them to xorg.conf.  cp xorg.conf xorg.conf.working first
[15:16] <Dr_Willis> boymeetsworld:  dont worry about the latest of everything.
[15:16] <guntbert> !latest | boymeetsworld
[15:16] <lucy2> mhall119,  i hope anyproblem wont be happed
[15:16] <boymeetsworld> Dr_Willis,  sorry....
[15:16] <sharat87> sipior: perfect, that worked like a charm, thanks a lot :)
[15:16] <sipior> sharat87: no trouble
[15:16] <KRiMoRaL> awesome! other than gnome, which i love, and kde (which looks cool), are there any other main ones of note worth checking out?
[15:16] <boymeetsworld> Dr_Willis,  thanks
[15:16] <amikrop_> hcl2: yes, all of these you mentioned
[15:16] <amikrop_> they're there
[15:17] <Dr_Willis> boymeetsworld:  ubuntu updates the disrto every 6 mo.. so every \6mo basically everything gets updated to the current version
[15:17] <mhall119> boymeetsworld: the Java packages in Ubuntu are java 6, if your game only needs java 5, you'll be fine
[15:17] <Dr_Willis> boymeetsworld:  sudo apt-get install freecol should install the java needed and the version from the repos.
[15:17] <amikrop_> hcl2: phone tried to recognize the laptop and I was prompted (to the laptop) for a PIN and I got it right
[15:17] <andrew____> Any suggestions for an app to re-encode audio files, and place them in folders based on tag info?(arist etc)
[15:17] <boymeetsworld> Dr_Willis,  ok i will try it:D
[15:17] <andrew____> I used dbpoweramp on Windopws
[15:17] <amikrop_> hcl2: but when I try to actually send files either from phone or laptop they can't even find each other
[15:18] <Dr_Willis> andrew____:  you proberly need to use one tool to reencode.. then a differnt one to sort.
[15:18] <andrew____> Dr_Willis: Ah, then any suggestions?
[15:18] <hcl2> strange, it sounds like they paired just fine.  maybe they paired the wrong way.  which device asked you for the pin?
[15:18] <sipior> andrew____: have a look at SoundConverter
[15:18] <Dr_Willis> andrew____:  nope. I dont bother with reencoding music. it alwyas makes it worse for the most part
[15:18] <andrew____> Because alll I want is to do \home\music\Metallica\black album\01.Metallica - Sad But True.wma
[15:18] <andrew____> Type thing
[15:19] <wangbo> exit
[15:19] <freazor> can anyone tell me how to install a driver for my pcmia card in ubuntu?
[15:19] <andrew____> Dr_Willis: I got all my music at 192kb/s wma at the moment, that's adequate for a 2.1 10w system I'm sure
[15:19] <hcl2> amikrop_: sudo hcitool conn
[15:20] <fabio333> it's a sad day when you get all your music as wma
[15:20] <dr4g> Hey guys - I'm trying to get a cool theme for my ubuntu desktop installation. I've tried a few different things. .emerald files and such it just tells me "unable to open file".
[15:21] <dr4g> Can someone suggest what i'm doing wrong ?
[15:21] <andrew____> fabio333: Blaahh.. Well you're talking about like 40gb of music here, it'd take forever to reget all that
[15:21] <amikrop_> hcl2: Connections:
[15:21] <amikrop_> hcl2: and nothing else
[15:21] <dr4g> I'm on this link http://www.techiesouls.com/2008/11/27/collection-of-50-best-looking-linux-gnomeubuntu-themes-to-download/
[15:21] <dr4g> I clicked on this theme from that link; http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Mira?content=89831
[15:21] <michael_> where is that ubuntu page that warns about alot of the commands to not enter?
[15:22] <hcl2> amikrop_: do you know the name of the program that shows the bt icon in the taskbar (i don't have it and it's hard to follow along w/o it)
[15:22] <boymeetsworld> Dr_Willis,  the game works now thanks only one thing, i have no sound, i tested my sound and it works fine but in the game nope:(
[15:23] <amikrop_> hcl2: Bluetooth Properties 2.28.1
[15:23] <mhall119> boymeetsworld: java has some issues with PulseAudio
[15:23] <lucy2> mhall119,  that finish what i have to do now
[15:23] <amikrop_> hcl2: I don't know thw name of the executable or the package.
[15:23] <amikrop_> It is in gnome-bluetooth I guess
[15:23] <mhall119> lucy2: look for instructions for compiling
[15:23] <boymeetsworld> mhall119,  and is there a soulution? the game totaly rocks:(
[15:23] <lucy2> mhall119, u mean cmake make and make install ?
[15:24] <mhall119> or, you can run "apt-get source --compile $packagename" I think
[15:24] <Roasted> Question - Why is it if I'm on a wireless network, close my laptop, and leave, and flip my laptop open again, that it still tries to connect to that old wifi network miles and miles away (which I expect) but then when it can't connect, it asks me for the password. I know the network manager doesn't forget the password, because if I cancel it, go back to the wifi network, it connects fine. But I'm just kinda wondering why NM asks for the password if the SSID
[15:24] <Roasted>  is out of range.
[15:24] <mhall119> boymeetsworld: I had to play around with my pulseaudio settings before it would work, I don't remember which change did it though
[15:24] <dr4g> what should happen when i double click on a .emerald file ??
[15:24] <dr4g> -
[15:24] <khem_> in what package do i find pupscan?
[15:25] <mhall119> boymeetsworld: you will probably need to install some extra pulse audio tools, they're in the repos
[15:25] <Dr_Willis> !find pupscan
[15:25] <khem_> hmm
[15:25] <Dr_Willis> whats pupscan anyway?
[15:25] <mhall119> yeah, I don't see pupscan either
[15:26] <boymeetsworld> mhall119, the pulse audio device choiser?
[15:26] <amikrop_> hcl2: so, any ideas? :)
[15:26] <mhall119> boymeetsworld: something like that, yes
[15:26] <boymeetsworld> mhall119,  or pulse audio preferences?
[15:26] <boymeetsworld> mhall119,  the second sounds more suitable:)
[15:26] <mhall119> get both and try them out
[15:26] <boymeetsworld> mhall119,  ok thanks
[15:27] <khem_> Dr_Willis: something that will help me detect drivers to my gprs edge usb card
[15:27] <khem_> i cannot get it to work
[15:27] <hcl2> amikrop_: hold on
[15:27] <lucy2> mhall119, http://pastebin.org/129419
[15:27] <hcl2> it's package gnome-bluetooth app bluetooth-applet
[15:27] <boymeetsworld> Ohh and another thing, even if freecol installed my java , i can get java browser games to work, why?
[15:27] <Guest93761> Hi, i need help, is there any way in ubuntu to reveal pppoeconf's connection details like the password? i forgot it and can't restore it :(
[15:28] <khem_> !find gkdial
[15:28] <fine_line> quit
[15:28] <mhall119> boymeetsworld: java games?  you sure they're not flash games?
[15:29] <fine_line> quit
[15:29] <boymeetsworld> mhall119,  yes they are java...i can pm you the site...
[15:29] <mhall119> lucy2: you'll need to talk to the package maintainers and/or developers then
[15:29] <tmkt> Hey Hey, quick Q - I have an ATI Radeon 2100, what driver should i be using "radeon" or "ati"? the reason I ask is because the 2 left pixels on my screen are a purple line all the way down
[15:29] <mhall119> they're compiling it for x86 specific instruction sets
[15:30] <mhall119> which won't work on PPC
[15:30] <mhall119> boymeetsworld: no need, I believe you
[15:30] <lucy2> ok thanks
[15:30] <hcl2> amikrop_: same problem here.  I can find the phone, enter the PIN, but when I send files to my phone it times out
[15:30] <tmkt> or is this not related to that, and to something else?
[15:30] <lucy2> mhall119, ok yhanks
[15:30] <mhall119> lucy2: if you're lucky, those are optimizations you can live without
[15:30] <jungingen> exit
[15:30] <mhall119> if you're unlucky, it'll require code changes before it will compile for PPC
[15:30] <boymeetsworld> mhall119,  :) thank you, i'm not an advance user but trust me it's java, the aplets on the website do not start..they remain grey....
[15:31] <sebuba> Hello
[15:31] <mhall119> boymeetsworld: wait, so were java games working before or not?
[15:31] <boymeetsworld> mhall119,  nope :)
[15:32] <alessio_> ciao
[15:32] <boymeetsworld> mhall119,  java games weren't working, because i didn;t had java, now i have it i think because i installed freecol from the terminal and it got java too because it is a java game:)
[15:32] <Roasted> Question - when I suspend my computer that was on a wifi network and travel miles away and open it back up, my laptop tries to re-connect to the other SSID I was just on. That's normal. Okay, fine. But why does network manager come up asking for the password to an SSID out of range? Is there a reason for this? I know it doesn't forget the PW, cause if I cancel and go back to the network I was just on, I connect fine.
[15:32] <Guest93761> please, can anyone answer me, i'm desperate :(
[15:32] <mhall119> boymeetsworld: you'll need to restart Firefox to know if it installed the java browser plugin too
[15:33] <alessio_> !list
[15:33] <mreh> how do I quickly set my environment variables for all my terminals? I would normally stick them in .bash_profile
[15:33] <arabica> java is out of fasion nowadays
[15:33] <mreh> it doesn't seem to work
[15:33] <mreh> arabica: is it?
[15:34] <arabica> maybe
[15:34] <mhall119> mreh: ~/.profile would work
[15:34] <mreh> I don't use it, but I wouldn't say that
[15:34] <arabica> flash is the next
[15:34] <boymeetsworld> mhall119,  restarted but not working, firefox says down" start:applet not initialized."
[15:34] <mreh> arabica: flash what?
[15:34] <sipior> arabica: mreh: that's nonsense.
[15:34] <mreh> oh, for web content
[15:34] <arabica> adobe flash
[15:34] <arabica> it's real in history
[15:34] <sipior> arabica: mreh: also, off-topic :-)
[15:34] <S0cr4t3s> I have a small Ubuntu 9.10 virtualization cluster using KVM and virtio.  One two of the VMs, NSCD and rpc.mountd will randomly lock 100% of the CPU.  There is no log generated or errors reported.  strace reports the following endlessly "poll([{fd=11, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI|POLLERR|POLLHUP}, {fd=-1}, {fd=-1}], 3, -1) = 1 ([{fd=11, revents=POLLNVAL}])"  Thoughts?
[15:34] <mhall119> boymeetsworld: did you install sun-java6 of openjdk-6?
[15:34] <tmkt> guessing my problem is a modeline problem?
[15:35] <boymeetsworld> mhall119,  no....
[15:36] <mhall119> sorry, s/of/or
[15:36] <boymeetsworld> mhall119,  i don't know what freecol installed...
[15:36] <mhall119> Ubuntu has 2 java packages, one from sun, one from openjdk
[15:36] <arabica> openjdk is not free completely
[15:36] <mhall119> boymeetsworld: what does "update-alternatives --list java" give you?
[15:36] <boymeetsworld> mhall119,  i checked ubuntu software center and i have installed open jdk java 6 webstart  and java 6 runtime
[15:37] <mhall119> arabica: yes it is
[15:37] <arminn> hi all. Can anybody tell me , why ubunu found's only 3,2Gb of memory ( must be 4 Gb ) ?????
[15:37] <mreh> so I have to re-login to set the envvars? ". ~/.profile" works obviously, but I thought a new terminal window would execute .profile, or is that login shells only?
[15:37] <arabica> no, when you want to compile it by source
[15:37] <boymeetsworld> mhall119, /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java
[15:37] <sipior> arminn: you running a 32-bit install?
[15:37] <mhall119> boymeetsworld: try "apt-get install icedtea6-plugin" then
[15:37] <Admin_> arminn only 64-bit will show all 4 GB
[15:37] <overmind> arminn: If you haven't got sound and graphic card, ubuntu will use ram memory as sound/graphic card's memory
[15:37] <S0cr4t3s> arminn,  32-bit Ubuntu?  That is normal, can't address more memory that that.  Need 64-bit Ubuntu to see all 4 gigs
[15:38] <arminn> Ohh
[15:38] <mhall119> arabica: what do you mean?
[15:38] <overmind> S0cr4t3s: Interesting
[15:38] <arabica> see the openjdk website
[15:38] <wensleydale> Hello all. Does anyone know when you logout using TTY (ctrl+alt+f1) what the best way to log back in is? When I type "exit", sometimes I have to log back in again. Im on xubuntu 9.04 by the way..
[15:38] <boymeetsworld> mhall119,  installed, when i went to that browser it told me that i need to addons, and i installed the firest, restarted the browser but the second addon it didn't suggested me no more:(
[15:38] <guntbert> wensleydale: alt+F7
[15:39] <S0cr4t3s> wensleydale, CTRL-ALT-F7
[15:39] <mhall119> arabica: Ubuntu's package uses patches from IcedTea to let you build it using open source code
[15:39] <S0cr4t3s> wensleydale, you can also use ALT-RIGHT and ALT-LEFT to switch between your ttys
[15:39] <arabica> uhh icetea = chinese
[15:39] <wensleydale> S0cr4t3s ok will try it here goes..
[15:40] <mhall119> arabica: icedtea is a RedHat project
[15:40] <Crepy> Yep, it was simple... I forgot to add one address to config
[15:40] <arabica> redhat is another m$ for me
[15:40] <mhall119> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IcedTea
[15:41] <arminn> It possible to update my ubunu ( i686 )to x64 version ?
[15:41] <mhall119> arabica: then you are confused
[15:41] <mhall119> arminn: I don't think so, no
[15:41] <arabica> no, i am lucid as a baby
[15:41] <guntbert> arminn: only with a reinstall
[15:41] <sipior> arabica: that's a very unusual expression.
[15:41] <arminn> thanks 4 answers
[15:42] <guntbert> !ot | arabica
[15:42] <Franklin> Hi
[15:42] <chx>  hi. i wrote this udev rule: ATTRS{idVendor}=="0421", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0042", SYMLINK+="nokia" (lsusb says Bus 006 Device 011: ID 0421:0042) but i dont get a /dev/nokia symlink when i plug in.
[15:43] <wensleydale> hmm, maybe Ive not asked the right question.. when I press ctrl+alt+f1 it logs me out to a terminal screen, which is very handy. Then to get back to desktop I usually login once then type "exit", but sometimes I have to do this twice or three times.. any ideas for a command to take me straight back to desktop?
[15:43] <Franklin> Anyone has installed ubuntu on old PC's?
[15:43] <frxstrem> Franklin: yeah, I've done it (if you consider a PC from 2001 old)
[15:43] <mhall119> wensleydale: Ctrl+Alt+F7 usually gets you back to your desktop
[15:43] <soreau> chx: Do you get any device node at all?
[15:43] <arabica> i f i answer you, ubotu will say i am off-topic
[15:44] <Franklin> older than 2001
[15:44] <mhall119> ubottu didn't say it, guntbert said it
[15:44] <allu2> i only debian on pentium 2 300mhz with 256mb ram and now 40gb hd, works like charm on base system only
[15:44] <chx> soreau: yes. i get /dev/ttyACM<some increasing number here>
[15:44] <guntbert> wensleydale: I told you - no command - you didn't log out at all - you just switched to a so called "virtual terminal" - and you switch back witg alt+F7
 ok will try it
[15:44] <guntbert> *wth
[15:44] <chx> soreau: the very problem is that i need to edit /etc/ppp/peers/fido every time i plug in because the ACM number is growing :)
[15:44] <Mkools> What is meant by this error: chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': Exec format error
[15:44] <guntbert> *with :-/
[15:44] <frxstrem> Franklin: I believe I did it on an older PC too (from <1998), and I think it mostly worked (except for a few driver issues)
 oh yep youre right
[15:45] <mhall119> Mkools: possibly that you're trying to chroot into an incompatible environment
[15:45] <soreau> chx: Ah yes, that would suck. I guess the growing number is a driver bug
[15:45] <Flynsarmy> Anyone have experience running pulseaudio on win7?
[15:45] <mhall119> like x86 to x86_64
[15:45] <iceroot> Flynsarmy: ##windows
 oh i seeee.. its good to know these things. thankyou all! bye
[15:45] <chx> soreau: might be but for little me writing an udev rule seemed to be an easier route than fixing the driver.
[15:45] <Flynsarmy> iceroot, as pulseaudio is a linux thing, it's far more likely linux ppl would have experience doing it than windows people
[15:45] <mhall119> I don't think PulseAudio is avalable on Windows
[15:45] <Mkools> mhall119: I have done it before it ran .
[15:45] <Franklin> well, i will try to install easypeasy, but still don't know if the MoBo is supported
[15:46] <Mkools> mhall119: How to solve it.
[15:46] <frxstrem> Is there a way to change the file association for files (like .mp4) from the standard associated program to another program, like VLC?
[15:46] <guntbert> wensleydale: you're welcome :-) and have fun
[15:46] <mhall119> Mkools: no idea
[15:46] <chx> soreau: i can read ASM and C code just fine but i wrote neither in this century so i'd be wary jumping into a driver code.
[15:46] <iceroot> Flynsarmy: and this is #ubuntu, not #linux, not #pulseaudio and not ##windows :)
[15:46] <soreau> chx: yea, well maybe try #udev if you cant get it
[15:46] <avegas> hi there, I'm seeing my bandwidth on apt connections to http://us.archive.ubuntu.com degrade rapidly, I'm not sure if it is an intranet problem or not, I'm in a mostly windows office
[15:46] <avegas> anyone have any suggestions on how to troubleshoot?
 cheers bye
[15:47] <Flynsarmy> iceroot, pulseaudio is the default on ubuntu and ubuntu has a very large community. there was a substancially higher possibility of actually finding someone helpful on this channel.
[15:47] <Franklin> the guys in #easypeasy told me maybe, but first ask on ubuntu
[15:47] <khem_> http://pastebin.com/248pitWr
[15:47] <mhall119> Flynsarmy: does PulseAudio even run on WIndows?
[15:47] <khem_> how can i get my edge gprs usb card to work in ubuntu?
[15:47] <khem_> the pastebin is my lspci -nn
[15:47] <boymeetsworld> mhall119,  anyother suggestions?
[15:48] <frxstrem> does anyone know how to change the file association for a file type?
[15:48] <Flynsarmy> mhall119, yes according to wikipedia. also on the PA website it points to here http://www.cendio.com/pulseaudio/ but they don't work on 7
[15:48] <Franklin> the file assoc or the program to read it?
[15:48] <Mkools> Can anyone please tell how to solve problem: chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': Exec format error
[15:48] <mhall119> boymeetsworld: install sun-java6-jre and sun-java6-plugin
[15:48] <mhall119> Flynsarmy: it's unlikely anyone here has ever tried
[15:49] <mhall119> so you might have better luck in either ##windows (which has a lot of Linux users in it), or directly with PulseAudio
[15:49] <Flynsarmy> mhall119, this is the channel i used to find out about the windows port in the first place a year ago - someone had already done it and was showing me how :) thanks anyway
[15:49] <avegas> Mkools, import w.r. stevens
[15:49] <keyvan> so i installed compiz-settings-manager… and i enabled a plugin called "reflection". this froze my entire system… and when i startup and gnome loads, it freezes again. no idea what to edit to disable reflection or compiz.
[15:50] <keyvan> its not the ~/.config/compiz/config file
[15:50] <chx> soreau: so that rule should be fine?
[15:50] <soreau> keyvan: chmod -x /usr/bin/compiz.real
[15:50] <mhall119> keyvan: it's in gconf most likely
[15:51] <mhall119> if you can get to ctrl+alt+f1, run: "DISPLAY=:0 metacity --replace &"
[15:51] <Mkools> avegas: ?
[15:51] <soreau> keyvan: Do that from recovery mode, reboot normally, go in and change the setting, then run the same command with +x to re enable it
[15:51] <keyvan> ok so i can boot the livecd and then do chmod -x on compiz.real. this makes it so compix cannot be booted?
[15:51] <mhall119> keyvan: try getting to ctrl+alt+f1 first
[15:51] <keyvan> ok cool
[15:51] <keyvan> im going to print this chat log and try it out. anything else i should be aware of?
[15:51] <mhall119> if you can do that, you can run metacity instead of compiz long enough to change the settings in compiz-config-settings-manager
[15:51] <soreau> keyvan: Let me guess, intel graphics?
[15:52] <keyvan> soreau: its a macbook. not sure what chipset it is……. let me see
[15:52] <mhall119> reflection uses pixel shaders I think, which isn't always supported on older or low-end gpus
[15:52] <soreau> mhall119: X freezes when compiz starts so he cant login
[15:52] <unixp> hi, what can i do if the wordpress installation stops at part 2 (password award). Only a blank screen is coming... where can i find the generated password?
[15:52] <boymeetsworld> mhall119,  installed but still doesn't work:(
[15:52] <soreau> Its a driver bug
[15:52] <boymeetsworld> mhall119,  restarted the browser....before trying
[15:52] <mhall119> boymeetsworld: I'm not sure then, that's what i did
[15:53] <keyvan> soreau: yep intel GMA X3100
[15:53] <boymeetsworld> mhall119,  thanks for your help I will try to search again for more info maybe post on the forums:)
[15:53] <mhall119> soreau: does GDM run compiz?
[15:53] <soreau> keyvan: Yea just make compiz not executable then turn of reflection and reenable it
[15:53] <mhall119> if it's only compiz freezing, he should be able to ctrl+alt+f1
[15:54] <keyvan> mhall119: im pretty sure it just clusterfucks the whole graphics driver
[15:54] <WhiteDawn> the bug is fixed in 9.04 and 10.01 beta
[15:54] <mhall119> keyvan: in that case, do the chmod -x trick
[15:54] <keyvan> i literally cannot do anything. only way to turn off the comp is holding power for 5 seconds
[15:54] <keyvan> yep gonna try that now
[15:54] <Mkools> avegas: What did you mean?
[15:54] <keyvan> thanks a bunch
[15:55] <mhall119> keyvan: make sure you chmod -x the file on the HDD, not the liveCD's copy
[15:55] <ohe> hi guys
[15:55] <khem_> could somebody please help me with me gprs/edge usb stick im Ubuntu, please?
[15:55] <Crepy> Is there a way to start filebrowser from console (in directory, what youre looking at) ?
[15:55] <keyvan> mhall119: yep. ty.
[15:56] <ohe> i'm testing lucid lynx and i encounter a little glitch as for karmic
[15:56] <DaZ> Crepy: nautilus . ? :f
[15:56] <keyvan> by the way, i changed the GRUB timeout to 0… so is there some key i can hold down to enter recovery mode ? or am i better off using livecd?
[15:56] <ohe> the battery of my ibook g4
[15:56] <ohe> is not natively detected
[15:56] <mhall119> Crepy: "nautilus ."
[15:56] <avegas> Mkools, mostly that that was insufficient information for anyone to be able to help you
[15:56] <sipior> Crepy: try "gnome-open ."
[15:56] <sipior> Crepy: that works on all sorts of files, by the way, not merely directories.
[15:57] <ohe> i would like to fill a bug for that but don't know how since i don't know the package responsible of that
[15:57] <hackel> I want to recursively check every file in one directory to see if an identical copy exists in another directory, and if so delete it.  Any ideas how to go about this?
[15:57] <chipcat> can somebody tell me why my eeepc is slow when i run backtrack4
[15:57] <Crepy> Thanks for the answers
[15:57] <Mkools> avegas: basically I am following instructions for repairing grub2 from livecd on : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2
[15:57] <mhall119> hackel: identical file name, or identical content?
[15:58] <hackel> mhall119:  Both
[15:58] <mhall119> sounds like a job for perl
[15:58] <mhall119> or python
[15:58] <Crepy> I hope you understood what i mean. Im going to example Documents folder by using terminal. But i would like to start same folder where i am, with filebrowser
[15:58] <Mkools> avegas: I am not able to go into chroot, but once I have done that.
[15:59] <Mkools> avegas: But with live cd of 64 bit
[15:59] <sirlark> Hi, I'm having trouble installing bugzilla3 on karmic; /var/lib/dpkg/info/bugzilla3.postinst: Configuration of bugzilla3 failed. Please check if the system requirements are fulfilled. How do I do this?
[15:59] <Crepy> by nautilus it will give a little error, and opens home folder, and gnome-open you have to write the path
[15:59] <Dr_Willis> theres somne 'dupe' finder tools in the repos.. but ive not used them in ages
[15:59] <sirlark> and where does it install?
[16:00] <chipcat> does someone here have experience whit backtrack
[16:00] <kokozedman> hey guys
[16:01] <kokozedman> how do i connect to a shared forlder on Ubuntu?
[16:01] <kokozedman> i tried the username and password for the account in the ubuntu, and it didn't work
[16:01] <kokozedman> what am i missing?
[16:01] <Dr_Willis> shared how?
[16:02] <mhall119> did you set the password with "smbpasswd $username"?
[16:02] <Dr_Willis> you could add a samba password for the user with 'sudo smbpasswd -a username'
[16:02] <chipcat> nobody??
[16:02] <Martiner> Hello, is there any software for creating flash animations in ubuntu/linux? I googled and came up with nothing that seems likely...
[16:02] <kokozedman> well, i haven't done that ... i just right-clicked a folder, and chose the Sharing option
[16:02] <kokozedman> i didn't know i neede to do that
[16:02] <kokozedman> thanks for letting me know
[16:02] <mhall119> Martiner: you might be able to get the Adobe products to work under Wine
[16:03] <mhall119> otherwise I think it's pretty limited
[16:03] <AJW256> photoshop works nicely
[16:03] <AJW256> idk bout anythin else
[16:03] <mhall119> I think there are tools to make like a flash slideshow of image files
[16:03] <Martiner> Yeah, I read about getting those to work, but seems like a real hazzle according to winehqś app listings
[16:03] <AJW256> all I did was install wine & run the setup
[16:03] <mhall119> Martiner: probably is, send Adobe an email letting them know you'd like a Linux client
[16:04] <WhiteDawn> http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=23 flash 8 seems to work fine in wine
[16:04] <PowerZUbuntu> hmm
[16:04] <PowerZUbuntu> lol
[16:04] <kokozedman> yeah! it works now! :D
[16:04] <chipcat> i need help to change my kernel. is this possible for eeepc ??
[16:04] <kokozedman> thanks a bunch
[16:04] <PowerZUbuntu> Woah. XChat for Ubuntu. First time ever logging onto ubuntu
[16:04] <PowerZUbuntu> not bad :)
[16:04] <mhall119> chipcat: change it how, and to what?
[16:04] <arabica> is eeepc off-topic?
[16:04] <Martiner> Thanks, Ill try that :)
[16:05] <mhall119> arabica: eeepc is hardware
[16:05] <arakthor> arabica, not if it's an ubuntu question :p
[16:05] <arabica> grrr
[16:05] <chipcat> no eeepc is a notebook from asus
[16:05] <fungo_> Disconnected (Remote host closed socket) what's the problem?
[16:06] <arabica> if i don't want to buy a eeepc, am i offtopic?
[16:06] <mhall119> arabica: what are you getting at?
[16:06] <mhall119> chipcat: change it how, and to what?
[16:07] <fungo_> OR Disconnected (Connection reset by peer)?
[16:07] <roly> hola cibernautas
[16:07] <rbellamy> what's the proper channel for discussing linking library support files to c code?
[16:07] <guntbert> !es | roly
[16:07] <mhall119> hola roly
[16:08] <mhall119> rbellamy: /msg alis help
[16:08] <chipcat> i'm a beginner linux user and need a little help. does someone have some time for mee plz?
[16:08] <mhall119> chipcat: change it how, and to what?
[16:08] <mhall119> last time I'm asking
[16:09] <chipcat> what do you mean mhall119
[16:09] <ninjai> what do you need help with chipcat?
[16:09] <mhall119> chipcat: you asked if you can change your kernel
[16:10] <ninjai> ahhh
[16:10] <l_r> since the last upgrade firefox is blocking the connections to localhost on port 8123. i d like to know how to re enable them.
[16:10] <chipcat> i have installed a linux distro to my eepc but its very slow.
[16:10] <chipcat> i have been reading that the cause might be the kernel. is this possble
[16:10] <ninjai> firstly you need to download the kernel source from apt-get
[16:11] <ninjai> could be, depending how it's configured
[16:11] <ninjai> get the kernel source code with this: apt-cache search linux-headers
[16:11] <ninjai> then
[16:11] <mhall119> chipcat: what distro did you install?
[16:11] <mhall119> and version
[16:11] <ninjai> find the one that matches the output of uname -a
[16:11] <chipcat> bt4
[16:11] <nu2linux> Hello all of you vitamin d deprived people
[16:11] <rbellamy> mhall119: that did not help me... the page at ubuntu.org said this is the best place to start for general help. As well, it mentions there are channels for help with development, but fails to mention specifics.
[16:11] <mhall119> chipcat: eeebuntu provides a kernel custom-compiled for EeePC hardware
[16:12] <rbellamy> mhall119: so, coming here to ask what channel I should be in for dev questions seemed like a general enough question.
[16:12] <ninjai> then shouldn't it be working? I dunno about htis eebuntu... i used to have ubuntu installed when i had an eepc and it was regular ubuntu... and it worked fine!
[16:12] <Myrtti> !backtrack
[16:12] <chipcat> ok but i still dont understand how to change it i follow all the instuctions on google but nothing.
[16:12] <mhall119> rbellamy: try #ubuntu-dev then
[16:12] <rbellamy> and asking alis list ubuntu did not return anything, and alist list #ubuntu just listed this channel
[16:13] <rbellamy> mhall119: perfect, thank you...
[16:13] <nu2linux> So I just installed Ubuntu onto my laptop and I am wondering or I should say asking what else should I do I want to be able to watch Youtube videos
[16:13] <mhall119> rbellamy: alis list uses wildcards
[16:13] <khem_> could somebody please help me with me gprs/edge usb stick im Ubuntu, please?
[16:13] <mhall119>  /msg alis list #ubuntu-*
[16:13] <rbellamy> mhall119: aha, thanks
[16:13] <erUSUL> rbellamy: alis list '*ubuntu*'
[16:14] <mhall119> nu2linux: go to Add/Remove (or Software Center, depending on Ubuntu version), and search for "flash player"
[16:14] <nu2linux> Mhall119 I have 9.10 ubuntu
[16:14] <mhall119> nu2linux: System->Administration->Add/Remove Applications
[16:15] <theadmin> mhall119: Uh, wrong.
[16:15] <mhall119> theadmin: it is on mine
[16:15] <theadmin> nu2linux: either system - admininstration - synaptic package manager or applications - Ubuntu software center.
[16:15] <mhall119> nu2linux: the package you want is "Adobe Flash plugin"
[16:15] <jetienne> q i got a usb key with ubuntu cd on it, how can i know which version it is ?
[16:15] <khem_> Bus 002 Device 008: ID 0471:1237 Philips TalkTalk SNU5630NS/05 Wireless Adapter
[16:15] <khem_> this is the device i cannot get to work
[16:15] <mhall119> theadmin: is it called "Ubuntu software center" in 9.10?  Mine still says "Add/Remove Applications", but I upgraded from 9.04
[16:16] <chipcat> ninjai are you still there??
[16:16] <theadmin> Yay XD i wrote a URL shortener in bash
[16:16] <theadmin> mhall119: Yeah i had that problem
[16:16]  * mhall119 is doing a clean install of 10.04 when it comes out
[16:16] <ChildOfGod> I can connect to the internet via pppconfig. i can ping www.google.com, but firefox says that internet is not connected. What is the problem? How to tell Gnome which interface to use?
[16:16] <ChildOfGod> ubuntu 9.10
[16:16] <mhall119> ChildOfGod: are you using a proxy?
[16:16] <ChildOfGod> nope.
[16:17] <ChildOfGod> i can ping www.google.com
[16:17] <nu2linux> ok mhall119 what am I looking for when I get to synaptic manager
[16:18] <theadmin> mhall119: I'll go for a clean install too :D
[16:18] <mhall119> nu2linux: flashplugin-nonfree
[16:18] <researcher1> may I ask for recommendation on which is better in performance for computer lab management ? VNC or italc?
[16:18] <mhall119> theadmin: I do that ever couple releases, just to clean up my harddrive
[16:19] <theadmin> researcher1: No idea who italc is, VNC is pretty well known
[16:20] <mhall119> italc is a school/lab management program, it's pretty good I hear
[16:20] <nubuntu> hello
[16:20] <theadmin> nubuntu: Hi there
[16:20] <mhall119> researcher1: if you want help with italc, ask in #edubuntu
[16:20] <nu2linux> What would happen if I click on all of them
[16:21] <nubuntu> how i install alsa then terminal?
[16:21] <nubuntu> Can i?
[16:21] <mhall119> nu2linux: it would isntall a bunch of stuff you probably don't need
[16:21] <khem_> [ 3029.284188] zd1211rw: probe of 2-1:2.1 failed with error -32
[16:21] <martianlobster> can I run skype on ubuntu?
[16:21] <mhall119> martianlobster: yes
[16:21] <khem_> i get this error when i try to initalize the driver for my edge/gprs usb driver
[16:21] <martianlobster> mhall119:   thanks,  I will start googling that now
[16:21] <nu2linux> I am also excited that I here according to my friend who got me on this Ubuntu that there are options to make the windows on a cube
[16:22] <Tommy\DO> Hi. I just upgraded to lucid on my netbook and now my touchpad shows the annyoing behavior that the pointer is suddenly appearing on the screen where I point my finger on the touchpad. How can I turn that off?
[16:22] <nu2linux> how do you do that ?
[16:22] <nubuntu> I dont know install alsa "terminal"
[16:22] <rbellamy> mhall119: thanks for the direction, they got me pointed in the right direction
[16:23] <mhall119> nu2linux: try pressing ctrl+alt+right_arrow
[16:23] <nu2linux> It changed to another desktop but no cube
[16:24] <VoJe> hello! What is the easiest way to assign programs to certain workspaces?
[16:24] <nu2linux> I can't wait till I learn everything about this Ubuntu
[16:24] <AJW256> nu2linux: System -> Preferences -> CompizConfig
[16:24] <AJW256> under desktop
[16:24] <AJW256> desktop cube
[16:24] <WhiteDawn> nu2linux: well ubuntu is a great place to start, probraly the most newbie friendly linux, and a huge community. Hope you have fun!
[16:24] <ihernandez> hello. does someone here implemented network authentication + nfs to have a central /home and user database for all the office desktops?
[16:25] <domedagen> How do I uninstall Heroes of Newerth(not apt-get installation)?
[16:25] <erUSUL> ihernandez: #ubuntu-server
[16:25] <ihernandez> thanks erUSUL
[16:25] <deegen> ihernandez: Yes.
[16:25] <erUSUL> domedagen: find out if the installer has a --uninstall or --remove option ?
[16:25] <fungo_> any recommendation for personal wiki softwares?
[16:25] <theadmin> domedagen: non apt-get like from deb package or from installer or from source?
[16:25] <ihernandez> deegee, what worked better? openldap + nfs? kerberos?.
[16:25] <nu2linux> Yes he gave a bunch of these "what he call live cd" and Ubuntu seemed pretty cool sounding so I went with that one
[16:26] <ihernandez> deegee, documentations doesn't looks straightforward
[16:26] <domedagen> theadmin from source
[16:26] <theadmin> domedagen: Just do "sudo rm -rf installdirectory"
[16:26] <nu2linux> There was one that had mint in it
[16:26] <nu2linux> and then there was another one wait let me get them
[16:26] <fungo_> hi,all ,any recommendation for personal wiki softwares?
[16:26] <domedagen> theadmin: ok thanks
[16:26] <WhiteDawn> nu2linux: live cd's are very handy to keep around, they make great recovery/emergency disks for all operating systems, not just linux.
[16:26] <researcher1> is it possible to reply to a particular persons nick to keep communication focused?HOW?
[16:26] <mhall119> mint is a derivative of Ubuntu, it has it's own artwork and includes extra packages
[16:27] <theadmin> fungo_: wiki on a stick is not bad, but it won't run on a regular server, it's kinda for local use only
[16:27] <domedagen> theadmin how do I know what "directory" it is?
[16:27] <deegen> ihernandez: I'm using openldap + nfs with pretty good success.
[16:27] <mhall119> researcher1: use their name in your reply, it'll highlight your message in most clients
[16:27] <theadmin> domedagen: it usually is somewhere in /opt or /usr/local
[16:27] <domedagen> ok
[16:27] <WhiteDawn> researcher1: you can private message them with /msg <usrname> but if you put their name followed by semicolins like i did for you, then it will highlight the message]
[16:27] <nu2linux> Ok he gave me Simply Mepis, Opensusu, xubuntu and one thts say linux mint
[16:28] <theadmin> researcher1: Uh, put the nick in front of message?
[16:28] <johnnyCbad_> Anyone here using Rhthembox on Lucid Beta 1? Need to ask something
[16:28] <theadmin> nu2linux: Opensuse, not susu
[16:28] <nu2linux> Opensuse sorry I misspelled that one
[16:28] <fungo_> theadmin:just for personal use
[16:28] <tt_> hey is there any application launcher built in? like can i hit a hot key and type cal enter to go to calculator
[16:28] <researcher1> ok.Thanks
[16:28] <ihernandez> deegee, perfect. so your users can use ldap users on login? sounds great
[16:28] <theadmin> johnnyCbad_: #ubuntu+1 for Lucid support
[16:28] <theadmin> fungo_: Should do for ya
[16:29] <researcher1> whee can I expect a guidance and tutorial on NIS?
[16:29] <WhiteDawn> nu2linux: Simply Mepis, xubuntu, Mint, and ubuntu are all great starting distros. Try em all if you feel like it, see which one you like the best. If you want a summary of different distros and to see their popularity, distrowatch.com is a great website.
[16:29] <deegen> ihernandez: Yes, all the users are in an ldap server. PAM checks against it. Everyone can sit at any machine, get all their stuff.
[16:29] <theadmin> WhiteDawn: "starting"? I think Ubuntu is good for normal users, too, not only for newbies
[16:29] <fungo_> theadmin:tks
[16:29] <nu2linux> By the way when I installed Ubuntu did the process confiq to my pc and prechoose my drivers that I need or not
[16:30] <ihernandez> deegee, thanks a lot. really what i wanted!
[16:30] <tt_> hey is there a launcher program I can get or is there anything built in where i can type what I want and it will be launched?
[16:30] <deegen> ihernandez: Your welcome.
[16:30] <WhiteDawn> theadmin: well there great for all uses, but ubuntu and the like are very newbie friendly because of how they manage programs and their very nice community
[16:30] <deegen> *You're
[16:31] <nu2linux> I will WhiteDawn
[16:31] <ZykoticK9>  tt_ alt+f2 ?
[16:31] <theadmin> WhiteDawn: Oh, community. I love Ubuntu's.
[16:31] <maginot> tt_, alt+f2 and there is an applet for gnome panel
[16:31] <ijaymy> 大家好
[16:31] <ijaymy> 没人说话啊
[16:31] <FloodBot1> ijaymy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:31] <maginot> ijaymy, !jp
[16:31] <maginot> !jp
[16:31] <theadmin> ubottu: cn | ijaymy
[16:31] <ijaymy> cn
[16:31] <maginot> Hmm
[16:31] <ijaymy> my  chinese
[16:32] <ijaymy> 这里没中国人啊
[16:32] <tt_> alt f2 is more like you type the whole name of the application is there anything that guesses what I want based on some letters
[16:32] <LinuX2half> Is it normal that whenever I watched a video online, I'll hear my computer fan humming?
[16:32] <ijaymy> :-D
[16:32] <hcl2> ijaymy: nope
[16:32] <maginot> ijaymy, here is english only...
[16:32] <tt_> and it wouldnt launch "calculator"
[16:32] <ZykoticK9> tt_, check out gnomedo then
[16:32] <ijaymy> i am sorry
[16:32] <tt_> ok
[16:32] <tt_> thanks
[16:32] <hcl2> how do i change what runlevel i boot into?  i want 3 but i have 5 now (i don't want X/gdm)
[16:32] <tt_> I think i have had that and it was what i wanted
[16:33] <WhiteDawn> nu2linux: I heard quite a lot of praise for linux Mint, its baised off ubuntu too so it be cool to try it for your next distro
[16:33] <ijaymy> where it is chinese
[16:33] <VoJe> Does anyone know the easiest way to assign programs to certain workspaces?
[16:33] <Dr_Willis> hcl2:  ubuntu dosent use runlevels like that
[16:33] <ijaymy> chinese
[16:33] <ijaymy> where
[16:33] <Dr_Willis> VoJe:  compiz has some settings to put specific windows in specific locations
[16:33] <ZykoticK9> ijaymy, /joing  #ubuntu-cn
[16:33] <tt_> and to comment on someone deciding on linux distro, I found that between mint an ubuntu, ubuntu was the way to go for support.
[16:33] <ZykoticK9> ijaymy, /join  #ubuntu-cn
[16:33] <ijaymy> ZykoticK9:thank
[16:34] <VoJe> Is compiz a default app in 10.04 beta1, or do i have to download it?
[16:34] <hcl2> Dr_Willis: sure it does, vi /etc/init/gdm.conf it says "stop on runlevel [016]"
[16:34] <Dr_Willis> VoJe:  its been the default for the last 3 releases
[16:34] <VoJe> or compiz-settings
[16:34] <Dr_Willis> hcl2:  not really..
[16:34] <Dr_Willis> !runlevels
[16:34] <ZykoticK9> VoJe, it's default - but you still need to install ccsm etc.
[16:34] <hcl2> how is that not a runlevel ?
[16:34] <khem_> [ 3029.284188] zd1211rw: probe of 2-1:2.1 failed with error -32
[16:34] <khem_> i get this error when i try to initalize the driver for my edge/gprs usb driver. can somebody try to help me get it to work?
[16:34] <tt_> ZykoticK9, should i get gnomedo from software manager or type something like sudo apt get in the terminal
[16:34] <VoJe> ok, that was what i was pondering
[16:34] <Dr_Willis> hcl2:  its  not using runlevel 3 as 'boot with no X' like other disrtos do
[16:34] <VoJe> ok, that was what i was pondering.9thanks
[16:35] <ZykoticK9> tt_, it doesn't make any difference, both coming from same spot - so whatever you feel comfortable with
[16:35] <arand> VoJe: Not compizconfig-setting-manager, no, and lucid support in #ubuntu+1 btw
[16:35] <hcl2> well, how do I get it to not boot up X/gdm ? forget the terminology
[16:35] <VoJe> oh, sorry. Thanks!
[16:35] <Dr_Willis> hcl2:  you use upstart configs to disable gdm service
[16:35] <tt_> well just for suture refrence, how close was I?
[16:35] <Dr_Willis> hcl2:  see /etc/init/  rename the gdm.conf to be gdm.DONTSTART or silimer
[16:36] <Busata> is there an irc channel for wine problems, or could I ask it here?
[16:36] <theadmin> Busata: #winehq
[16:36] <Busata> thanks
[16:36] <Busata> #wine kicked me out :(
[16:36] <ijaymy> Dr_Willis:
[16:36] <theadmin> Busata: That's nothing related to THAT wine lol
[16:36] <tt_> actually i should go find that out thanke
[16:36] <ZykoticK9> hcl2, to disable GDM you can use "sudo mv /etc/init/gdm.conf /etc/init/gdm.conf-disabled"
[16:36] <ijaymy> Which country are you
[16:37] <theadmin> ZykoticK9: Ahem, ahem. It's /etc/init.d
[16:37] <Busata> I have no idea what #wine is about, except a guess that's about the real one
[16:37] <ijaymy> I used Google Translate to chat with you
[16:37] <ZykoticK9> theadmin, not for those directions!
[16:37] <ijaymy> You can speak English too well
[16:37] <Dr_Willis> err.. upstart has scripts in /etc/init   init.d is for the sysv stuff
[16:37] <theadmin> ijaymy: For Ubuntu help in chinese, go to #ubuntu-cn . For just chatting, go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[16:37] <theadmin> Dr_Willis: Oh. I see.
[16:38] <Dr_Willis> and sysv stuff is slowly getttingphased out
[16:38] <theadmin> Dr_Willis: Don't even know whether that's good or bad :/
[16:38] <davrian> what do we talk about here?
[16:38] <PyroPhelia> what's the most painless way to find files with duplicate file names?
[16:38] <Dr_Willis> theadmin:  it dosent really matter.. it is whats happening
[16:39] <ZykoticK9> hcl2, FYI if you changed the value to "stop on runlevel [0126]" it won't start either
[16:39] <maginot> davrian, here is a support channel
[16:39] <hcl2> thanks
[16:39] <Dr_Willis> !info fdupes
[16:39] <Dr_Willis>  PyroPhelia
[16:39] <Dr_Willis> thres proberly some gui 'duplicate file finders' also
[16:40] <ZykoticK9> fslint
[16:40] <mhall119> upstart can run startup scripts in parallel, sysv runs in serial, which makes upstart faster
[16:40] <PyroPhelia> sorry this is for a server, no X
[16:40] <mhall119> also, upstart can be triggered by events
[16:40] <mhall119> so you can say "startup this service only after networking has started"
[16:40] <mhall119> so you don't have to manage numbered file names
[16:41] <Dr_Willis> !info fdupes  | PyroPhelia
[16:43] <PyroPhelia> Dr_Willis, unless the program has been updated since I last used it, that won't be very effective.  You see the problem is a user (officer of the company so I can't argue with them) has made duplicates of files in multiple places in his direcotry.  However the problem is now the files are in different versions.  so they won't be 1:1 duplicates.  they are the same only in name so I need to find the same file based on the name, and then
[16:43] <PyroPhelia>  delete everything all of the older files
[16:44] <Dr_Willis> PyroPhelia:  theres  'approximate file duplicte finder tools ' also in the repos
[16:44] <yellabs> hi there
[16:44] <Dr_Willis> sounds like a job for a fancy bash script then
[16:44] <yellabs> how is it going?
[16:44] <Dr_Willis> since you dont really want 'duplicate' files. :)
[16:44] <__maroc__H> hello

[16:46] <yellabs> are yo u100 % sure?
[16:46] <theadmin> yellabs: Yes.
[16:46] <yellabs> so its a secure way to format drives ?
[16:46] <maginot> theadmin, thats not impossible
[16:46] <yellabs> ah
[16:46] <maginot> yellabs, try foremost
[16:46] <theadmin> maginot: o_O O_O

[16:49] <researcher1> where can I study/tutorial of NIS or LDAP?
[16:49] <tschand> join #blenderdurian
[16:49] <__maroc__H> I'm trying but they told me "Nz pzut rejoindre #c (canal en invite seulement)"
[16:49] <maginot> researcher1, google...
[16:49] <theadmin> __maroc__H: You need to register your nickname. To get more info on that, type "/msg nickserv help register"
[16:49] <nu2linux> I called toshiba to find out what graphics card is in my laptop first I get one person who was rude but gave half of the name and then I called support and they seem not know
[16:49] <S0cr4t3s> researcher1,  There are numerous places online.  LDAP alone can take years to fully understand
[16:49] <arakthor> __maroc__H, it's actually ##c if memory servers me correctly. you also have to registered
[16:50] <yellabs> thanks for the info , i will check it out
[16:50] <maginot> arakthor, yes, is ##c, but just /join #c will work
[16:50] <nu2linux> what is up with that so How can I find out what graphics card is in my system using Ubuntu
[16:50] <aless12> hi, there is an script I want to be runned daily. I copied it to /etc/cron.daily but It is not being executed (doing ./script.sh works fine)
[16:50] <maginot> nu2linux, lspci
[16:50] <arakthor> maginot, not for me. I get the same error, and I am registered. ##c works fine though
[16:50] <mhall119> nu2linux: from the command line run "lspci |grep -i vga"
[16:50] <nu2linux> which one
[16:51] <maginot> arakthor, just joined ##c using /join #c
[16:51] <nu2linux> lspci or what you said mhall119
[16:51] <arakthor> maginot, you must have something different. I get a message saying it is invite only :s
[16:51] <maginot> arakthor, I don't know... I use xchat if that matter
[16:51] <arakthor> maginot, likewise :p
[16:52] <nu2linux> I am sorry I just got two different answers by two different people
[16:52] <yellabs> have a nice day !
[16:52] <arakthor> maginot, it's a mystery I'll never bother to solve at any rate
[16:52] <maginot> nu2linux, lspci will output the hardware information, grep is a filter
[16:52] <maginot> arakthor, neither do I ;D
[16:52] <mhall119> nu2linux: my suggestion still uses lspci
[16:52] <alb2684> hola todos
[16:52] <erUSUL> !es | alb2684
[16:53] <mhall119> it just filters on the term "vga"
[16:53] <maginot> nu2linux, "lspci | grep -i vga" is a full command line
[16:53] <mhall119> so you'll only see the line for your graphics card
[16:53] <mhall119> unstead of all your hardware
[16:53] <ThJ> Can anyone explain to me why such a simple thing as adjusting mouse sensitivity has never worked for me in any distribution of Linux I've ever used? Such a seemingly simple thing...
[16:53] <mhall119> lspci means "list pci devices"
[16:54] <maginot> ThJ, conspiracy ?
[16:54] <ThJ> Acceleration is one thing but what if you need precision for something temporarily?
[16:54] <yellabs> see all your hardware, use lshw command
[16:54] <theadmin> Must i escape such characters as ( and ) in the "echo" command? Just to be sure.
[16:55] <ThJ> maginot, annoying as "#¤# ... Linux UIs have borrowed tons of other concepts from Windows and other OSes, but mouse adjustments? Naah...
[16:55] <costre> ThJ, I experienced the same hing  yesterday when I changed my mouse .. .but after dialing on both meters wildly, things got the way I liked it
[16:55] <maginot> ThJ, windows took concepts from UNIX
[16:55] <ThJ> costre: well, if I turn Accelleration off completely, the Sensitivity slider doesn't do anything.
[16:55] <omikron4> alb2684 if u wanna talk in spanish go to ubuntu-es
[16:55] <Mkools> Can someone please solve grub boot loader problem?
[16:55] <maginot> ThJ, and windows doesn't have sensibility adjustments out of the box, you always have to use a driver for that
[16:56] <ThJ> maginot: UNIX? I suppose. The first versions of Windows were blatant ripoffs of Apple.
[16:56] <omikron4> explain your problem Mktools
[16:56] <maginot> ThJ, this is out of subject here...
[16:56] <ThJ> maginot: Not true. Any old driverless mouse is adjustable.
[16:57] <ThJ> It may not alter the hardware DPI
[16:57] <airtonix> offtopic ?
[16:57] <ThJ> But I don't care if it does, I just want to slow down my mouse temporarily
[16:57] <alb_> join #ubuntu -es
[16:57] <ThJ> Can it be done?  You can make many more adjustments on linux out of the box to your mouse them windows... will not argue this with you
[16:57] <theadmin> alb_: type "/join #ubuntu-es"
[16:57] <nu2linux> ok done that
[16:57] <omikron4> with "/" alb_
[16:58] <maginot> ThJ, System > Preferences > Mouse
[16:58] <ThJ> maginot: Ubuntu offers me two sliders for mouse speed related things. Admittedly, Windows offers me only one slider, and a checkbox, but does what I am in need of right now.
[16:58] <keyvan> soreau: thanks :) it worked
[16:59] <airtonix> ThJ, investigate manipulating the synaptics input driver config
[16:59] <keyvan> in ubuntu now :)
[16:59]  * maginot hates people that don't know how to use something and keep blaming its ignorance a system fault
[16:59] <costre> ThJ, If I max the sensitivity meter, the mouse goes crazy slow and steady
[16:59] <ThJ> maginot: I don't have my digitizer tablet with me, and I want to draw on the computer, so I want my mouse to have no acceleration and a low speed.
[17:00] <ThJ> costre: Does your sensitivity slider work when Acceleration is zeroed?
[17:00] <theadmin> If i put a shellscript into /usr/bin and make it executable will it work just like other commands?
[17:00] <costre> However, I think "acceleration" is the wrong term to use. It's the pointer's speed that's in question
[17:00] <erUSUL> theadmin: yes but it is better to use /usr/local/bin/
[17:00] <theadmin> erUSUL: Huh. Okay.
[17:00] <e-DIO-t> well! me's leaving -> see you 2night.
[17:00] <erUSUL> theadmin: to keep a separation between your own scripts and things that came from repos
[17:01] <costre> ThJ, It works, yes. But it doesn't do too much
[17:01] <ThJ> costre: Yes, I have already turned off Acceleration and it is good, because it does not accelerate. However, it still moves too quickly, the base speed or resolution if you will, is too high.
[17:01] <maginot> ThJ, this is what I have: http://picpaste.com/Captura_de_tela.png
[17:02] <costre> ThJ, Could be my mouse, but I think it's on a pixle-by-pixle basis when both meters is on minimum
[17:02] <ThJ> costre: It seems to me that the so-called Sensitivity slider does absolutely nothing for me under any circumstance and never has, in any Ubuntu version, on any hardware. It practically is a dummy slider for me.
[17:02] <ThJ> maginot: No pic here, it says.
[17:02] <costre> ThJ, My sensitivity slider does lots to affect the pointer
[17:03] <ThJ> costre: I wonder why, because only Acceleration has ever done anything for me, and I own several different computers.
[17:03] <costre> Sensitivity slows down the pointer, increases resolution so to speak
[17:03] <maginot> ThJ, yeah, just updated the picture to English http://picpaste.com/Captura_de_tela-1.png
[17:03] <costre> It could be my mouse ... MS bluetooth something-something
[17:03] <ThJ> costre: the problem is, it never does it for me.
[17:03] <johndarc> I am having problems with broken dependencies. Apprently I was careless, and deborphan removed gnome packages. After I try to login (gdm) it flashes a black screen and returns back to the login window. I've tried to force apt-get to resolve the broken dependencies but it refuses to install.
[17:04] <johndarc> Packages are: gnome-panel, gnome-applets, gnome-control-center and others.
[17:04] <ThJ> costre: Not with any mouse I have used. Same mouse is easily adjusted for speed in Windows and never fails me.
[17:04] <costre> ThJ, That sucks, then
[17:04] <ThJ> Yes, doesn't it...
[17:04] <ThJ> Either I have had extremely bad luck, or I am somehow unknowingly buying very bad mice >_>
[17:04] <maginot> ThJ, try to fix the problem don't keep complaining of it... you don't pay to use linux after all
[17:04] <ThJ> But I shouldnt have to pay $100 for a mouse to get a speed setting.
[17:04] <khem_> oooh
[17:05] <khem_> finally got it to work
[17:05] <autoclesis> don't get a GE mouse
[17:05] <autoclesis> my advice
[17:05] <ThJ> maginot, I would, if the XInput architecture wasn't such a complete horror XD
[17:05] <ThJ> I once wanted to implement some tablet functionality for Linux and had one look at some source code for it... XInput is not a simple API. :x
[17:05] <theadmin> I have an a4tech and this works perfectly for me with both sensetivity and acceleration thingies
[17:05] <DaisyTheCow> Does anyone know of a instant messenger app that works with a webcam?
[17:05] <ThJ> I have a plain old Logitech, the cheapest kind, probably.
[17:06] <ThJ> Let me see if it works with my trackpad
[17:06] <maginot> ThJ, my tablet works pretty good, my wacon and my genius
[17:06] <ThJ> maginot: yes, but the API, it is complex.
[17:07] <theadmin> Perfect :D Now i have my own URL shortener. And it works as a command XDDD
[17:07] <ThJ> It's not broken or anything, just... I was put off when I saw relatively simple code for detecting pressure from a tablet
[17:07] <ynk> when you typically install a package that has dependencies, are those additions uninstalled when the package is removed?
[17:07] <theadmin> Thanks, erUSUL
[17:07] <ThJ> It was umpteen pages long and pretty dense
[17:07] <maginot> I'm off this conversation, I can't understand what you want... is just to talk? so #ubuntu-offtopic is the place
[17:07] <ThJ> Eh never mind
[17:07] <ThJ> I guess it just doesn't work for me period.

[17:08] <costre> ThJ, Half down on page 2 is your solution .. appearantly
[17:09] <ThJ> costre: Editing a config file, basically?
[17:09] <yehia> hello, how to install Eterm ?
[17:09] <ynk> When you typically install a package that has dependencies, are those additions uninstalled when the package is removed?
[17:09] <maginot> yehia, you can try apt-get install eterm
[17:09] <costre> ThJ, Post #14 in that thread I just posted
[17:09] <ThJ> Ok
[17:10] <maginot> yehia, if doesn't work try finding the correct work with "aptitude search eterm"
[17:10] <costre> ynk, If nothing else depends on them, they should
[17:10] <costre> ynk, I guess that's the difference between remove and remove completely? :)
[17:10] <Dr_Willis> remove vs purge

[17:11] <FloodBot1> yehia: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:11] <yehia> sorry
[17:11] <maginot> yehia, apt-get install eterm will do the tricky
[17:11] <ThJ> costre: I see. The only problem is that I only want this setting temporarily. gedit and Ctrl+Alt+Backspace each time I want to change the setting seems a little bit... inconvenient.
[17:11] <Dr_Willis> alt-ctrl-bs - wont work anymore either :)
[17:11] <costre> ThJ, But I guess you can find a middle way that lets you use the sliders to some extent?
[17:11] <ynk> costre: you have an option to "remove" or "remove completely"?
[17:12] <costre> ynk, In synaptic, yes
[17:12] <yehia> maginot : E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
[17:12] <yehia> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
[17:12] <maginot> Dr_Willis, I hate the developers atitude tooking this off, I have to install things to make it work again
[17:12] <ynk> costre: got it. thanks!
[17:12] <maginot> yehia, are you root ? ;)
[17:12] <ThJ> costre: I suppose. In any case, not very impressive, considering that in Ubuntu's case, there is money backing it, even if I am not personally paying for it.
[17:12] <AJW256> yehia: need to be sudo
[17:12] <maginot> yehia, sudo  apt-get install eterm
[17:12] <ThJ> costre: Apparently, according to what you linked me, it's a regression of sorts.
[17:13] <costre> ThJ, Seems to have to do with high-end mice with dpi >400
[17:13] <ThJ> The slider must obviously have been tested at one point, but perhaps not recently.
[17:13] <costre> ThJ, I read that too
[17:13] <Dr_Willis> its amazing the # of dpi some of these new mice can do.
[17:13] <maginot> mine have 2000
[17:13] <ThJ> I don't have a high-end mouse, but with the particular settings I use, I can hand-draw very accurately even without my tablet.
[17:13] <maginot> ;X
[17:14] <ThJ> This plain old cheap optical mouse is actually fairly accurate in tracing out my motion
[17:14] <nu2linux> OK I found a graphics driver for my laptop but it is for windows xp can I still use it for Ubuntu so I can change my visual effects
[17:14] <ThJ> I can do smooth circles and what not.
[17:14] <costre> maginot, How fast do you have to move to notice the difference? It's for railgunners in quake, nothing else :(
[17:14] <costre> :) *
[17:14] <ThJ> But I do need to reduce the resolution a bit, basically.
[17:14] <ThJ> Anyway, thanks for at least trying to help.

[17:15] <maginot> yehia, don't use fluxbox here, sorry
[17:16] <Dr_Willis> yehia:  run the network manager tool and configure it.
[17:18] <freazor> hey i just installed my  pcmia card and entered my wep key with the network manager but it doesnt connect.. but when i put the wep out of the router it connects without problems so it only works withput wep key.. does anyone know why this happens?
[17:18] <e01> how to install totem with xine backend
[17:19] <maginot> freazor, maybe you are using shared wep keys and not open wep
[17:19] <maginot> e01, why not use vlc ? Its plays everything
[17:19] <Kingsy102> hello, is there a way of running memtest86 on startup? without having to use a livecd?
[17:19] <erUSUL> Kingsy102: grub has an entry for it
[17:20] <e01> maginot, because it`s interface is verry ugly and hard to use
[17:20] <Kingsy102> erUSUL - how do I run grub on startup then?
[17:20] <theadmin> e01: I don't think so :/
[17:20] <switch10_> Kingsy102: hold shift to get the grub menu at startup
[17:20] <freazor> maginot: what is a shared wep key ? i use a normal 128bit wep key .. and all the other users in my wlan use the same 128bit wep key
[17:20] <erUSUL> Kingsy102: grub allways run at startup ... but maybe you have the menu hidden. press shift as the machine boots
[17:20] <maginot> e01, vlc have themes too... just install them, but thats up to you
[17:21] <Kingsy102> erUSUL - ok and is memtest86 obvious? or is there a sepcial way of running it?
[17:21] <Kingsy102> or is it simply just selectable in a menu?
[17:21] <nu2linux> hey what does this mean I go to systems >preference>visual effects and click on normal (right now its on none) and it says searching drivers and then desktop could not enable what does this mean
[17:21] <erUSUL> Kingsy102: is obvious; usually the last entry in the menu with prper name and all ;)
[17:21] <Kingsy102> heh thanks
[17:21] <Kingsy102> let me try that
[17:21] <Kingsy102> brb
[17:22] <erUSUL> nu2linux: maybe your graphic card does not support 3d in linux

[17:23] <erUSUL> nu2linux: well that graphic card is not supported for effects; sorry
[17:24] <nu2linux> its ok I just want to find out if it did or not. In that case should I stay with Ubuntu or go with another distro
[17:24] <KRiMoRaL> Dr_Willis, you still around?
[17:24] <theadmin> huh. I can't seem to find mine o_O "lspci | grep 'vga'" returns nothing
[17:24] <costre> nu2linux, What's the issue?  ;) Hey, you mentioned earlier a package that I could install alongside gnome to be able to pick kde instead at the login screen... which was it?
[17:25] <nu2linux> can I change my graphics card this is a laptop by the way.
[17:26] <Dr_Willis> KRiMoRaL:  'kubuntu-desktop' is for the full KDE desktop
[17:26] <Dr_Willis> KRiMoRaL:  also kde support in #kubuntu
[17:26] <maginot> nu2linux, probably not.
[17:26] <switch10_> nu2linux: its probably integrated graphics..  so no.
[17:26] <erUSUL> nu2linux: most likely no
[17:26] <Dr_Willis> change gfx card in a laptop..  not very likely .:)
[17:26] <Kingsy101> what is the tool called again to boot ubuntu liveCD through a USB drive? I forget

[17:28] <Dr_Willis> nu 95% totally useless eyecandy and a few nice features..
[17:28] <costre> livizy, Try ubuntu-cn for help in chinese :)
[17:28] <erUSUL> livizy: there are chinise channel of ubuntu if you prefer

[17:29] <nu2linux> here is another question I went over to my friends house, he has the same Ubuntu 9.10 and the videos on youtube was not so smooth
[17:29] <Dr_Willis> cube is proberly the most useless thing ive seen in years.. :)
[17:29] <switch10_> the bset feature in compiz in my opinion is grid.  windows aero "snap" feature, does not compete.
[17:29] <livizy> yep，but there is only a little men
[17:29] <KRiMoRaL> Maybe so... but it's fun ;)
[17:29] <Tybstar> anyone ever have problems with an intel i915 where the screen "flickers" in both graphics and text mode? BIOS bootup looks fine so it appears to be a driver problem.
[17:29] <KRiMoRaL> Only problem is, nvidias driver installer doesn't work on 10
[17:30] <captainc> I have an encrypted home and swap using luks in sda6. I want to move it to sda8. how can I do this?
[17:30] <Dr_Willis> KRiMoRaL:  hmm?  the package manager nvidia drivers work for me in 10.04 just fine
[17:30] <costre> KRiMoRaL, With enough desktop efects and addons ubuntu can look crazily awesome!!1!1 But you get back to basic eventually :p
[17:31] <captainc> hidelevels.set
[17:31] <KRiMoRaL> Dr_Willis, I was trying to use the one that you see when you do Hardware Drivers from the System menu
[17:31] <Dr_Willis> KRiMoRaL:  they work for me onmy 2 nvidia machines.
[17:31] <Dr_Willis> Use theones from nvidia.com at your own risk
[17:31] <KRiMoRaL> I have a gtx 275... do you think that matters? I wonder why the drivers won't work for me? They worked on 9.10
[17:31] <nu2linux> Youtube is not as smooth as in my other laptop that runs windows
[17:32] <Dr_Willis> nu2linux:  go tell adobe.. its their software
[17:32] <nu2linux> ok I will do is it smooth on your end Dr_willis
[17:32] <boymeetsworld> nu2linux,  I was in your situation, Dr_Willis is right...:|
[17:32] <KRiMoRaL> It said something about checking the jockey log, and I do remember seeing something on the ubuntu site where you can download the beta
[17:33] <switch10_> I use Hulu and youtube all the time.  The video is fine for me, and im on 64 bit :)
[17:33] <Dr_Willis> nu2linux:  i rarely bother with flash videos.  You can always use google chrome and html5 if you wanted
[17:33] <freazor> maginot: I just tryed it.. open and shared  both doesnt work :(
[17:33] <boymeetsworld> switch10_,  full screen working fine on your side?:D
[17:33] <Dr_Willis> flash is not a 'critical' feature for me
[17:33] <Dr_Willis> bye all.
[17:33] <nu2linux> what does google chrome do
[17:33] <KRiMoRaL> it be's awesome.
[17:33] <switch10_> boymeetswold: flawless

[17:55] <a16bitsoft> yes
[17:55] <Trek> !lucid | a16bitsoft
[17:56] <crescendo> .gvfs is my new favorite toy
[17:56] <a16bitsoft> ok, thanks
[17:56] <mhall119> ben_q: look into wnckprop
[17:56] <mhall119> in libwnck-dev package
[17:57] <kjcole> Hi,  once again, I've forgotten the trouble that LVM gets me into when I try to upgrade...  I just went to Lucid yesterday, and now I have a machine that hangs with "init: ureadahead main process (...) terminated with status 5"
[17:57] <sudipta> hey,is anyone there to help me out?????????
[17:57] <m4rko> hola
[17:57] <m4rko> alguna chica ardiente
[17:58] <jpds> m4rko: No.
[17:58] <millertimek1a2m3> hey how to I go to irc.gnome.org
[17:58] <iustinian> !es
[17:58] <jpds> !es > m4rko
[17:58] <nu2linux> Hey is Mozilla and Firefox the same
[17:58] <nu2linux> ??
[17:58] <jpds> nu2linux: No.
[17:58] <autoclesis> !ubuntu software
[17:58] <kjcole> I've now booted into a rescue environment from the alternate CD, and have mounted /dev/mapper/Ubuntu-* in their rightful places.  Where do I go from here?
[17:58] <eremite> nu2linux: no.
[17:58] <mhall119> nu2linux: mozilla is both the name of a program, and a company
[17:58] <jpds> nu2linux: that's like saying Canonical and Ubuntu are the same.
[17:59] <nu2linux> I went to adobe to install a plugin
[18:00] <mhall119> nu2linux: the package in the Ubuntu repos will download and install the plugin for you
[18:00] <YingFan> was there a special channel for lucid? I forgot
[18:00] <mhall119> you may have to restart Firefox
[18:00] <mhall119> YingFan: #ubuntu+1 maybe?
[18:00] <erUSUL> YingFan: #ubuntu+1
[18:00] <YingFan> ah, thanks
[18:01] <kjcole> Oops. Ta-ta.
[18:01] <nu2linux> Youtube is still choppy
[18:02] <nu2linux> There is an option one is .deb for Ubuntu 8.04+ and another APT for Ubuntu 9.04+
[18:03] <ZykoticK9> nu2linux, you can try Chromium (or Google Chrome) and try using HTML5 if you want (youtube.com/html5)
[18:03] <nu2linux> Which one should I download there is also yum for linux , .Tar fir linux, .rpm for linux
[18:03] <iustinian> *.deb
[18:07] <arabica> *.src.tar.bz for me
[18:08] <millertimek1a2m4> hello?
[18:08] <maginot> hi
[18:08] <millertimek1a2m3> hello?
[18:09] <autoclesis> do a lot of the troubles that people ask about result from tinkering about ?
[18:09] <Trek> sometimes :P
[18:09] <nu2linux> When i go get google chrome do I save it or do I open it
[18:10] <autoclesis> okay
[18:10] <autoclesis> i got my CDs but i haven't got my new computer yet
[18:10] <nu2linux> in other words do I download it or just choose to open the file
[18:10] <arabica> lol, salesman detected!
[18:10] <autoclesis> i'm setting up side by side
[18:11] <arabica> what's your new computer?
[18:11] <boymeetsworld> nu2linux, want to setup google chrome?
[18:11] <nu2linux> yes
[18:12] <raj-darkmystery> nu2linux: y dnt u do apt-get install?
[18:12] <nu2linux> what is that?
[18:12] <raj-darkmystery> nu2linux: why dont you do apt-get install?
[18:12] <arabica> wait a second, can chrome run on linux?
[18:12] <ZykoticK9> arabica, yes
[18:12] <Trek> raj-darkmystery, he's new thats why he didnt
[18:12] <PatrickGleason> arabica: yup
[18:12] <iustinian> instal chromium package
[18:12] <iustinian> it is available in the official repos
[18:12] <raj-darkmystery> ohhk nu2linux which destro you are using?
[18:13] <ZykoticK9> iustinian, chromium is a game -- chromium-browser is the web browser
[18:13] <trism> chromium is not in the official repos until lucid
[18:13] <nu2linux> Ubuntu 9.10
[18:13] <arabica> me too
[18:13] <eremite> Chrome is faster than Chromium
[18:13] <iustinian> ZykoticK9: yeh that one
[18:13] <arabica> operra is faster than chrome
[18:13] <arabica> opera
[18:13] <boymeetsworld> :)browser war!!
[18:14] <PatrickGleason> arabica: my browsers cooler than your browser
[18:14] <eremite> Not it is not, and it fails Acid tests compared to Chrome
[18:14] <maginot> opera looks like a shopping center... =X
[18:14] <isolat3dsh33p> hello, is there anyone installed tuxguitar 1.2? I've installed it, but the MIDI don't seems to work. Any ideas?
[18:14] <floww> hello guys
[18:14] <arabica> the point is that opera has learnt to chrome and taken the best part form chrome
[18:14] <eremite> Opera is bulky, ugly and slow compared to Chrome in Ubuntu
[18:14] <arabica> opera has done a good job
[18:14] <ChogyDan> this really isnt the place to debate which browser is better
[18:15] <floww> i got a huge problem i got the problem ntldr is missing on windows xp i replaced it with ubuntu and now evrytime the intel sign comes it disappears
[18:15] <PatrickGleason> ChogyDan: agreed. cause ie6 is the clear winner of course.
[18:15] <ChogyDan> of course
[18:15] <arabica> lol
[18:15] <floww> evrytime the intel sign comes it restarts
[18:15] <arabica> ie6 rules
[18:15] <eremite> lol
[18:15] <floww> anyone a idea
[18:15] <maginot> I hate opera, for me opera is worse then IE
[18:15] <floww> opera rox
[18:15] <PatrickGleason> maginot: them are fighten words
[18:15] <researcher1> is it possible to install an application which automatically becomes inactive after a given duration   ?
[18:16] <floww> lul anyone got a solution for mey?
[18:16] <ChogyDan> floww: do you get a grub menu?  a menu to select between ubuntu or windows?
[18:16] <floww> no
[18:16] <floww> im using live cd
[18:16] <ChogyDan> floww: the livecd won't boot?
[18:16] <floww> well it could be thta it wasnt ntldr and just the fixmbr
[18:16] <autoclesis> !conky
[18:16] <floww> live cd boots but windows doesnt boot
[18:16] <floww> 10 min ago it came ntdrl is missing
[18:16] <maginot> PatrickGleason, ?
[18:16] <raj-darkmystery> nu2linux if you want to install chromium then you need to make some entries in your sources .list... check my pm
[18:17] <floww> i followed a guide on youtube and replaced the ntldr about ubuntu
[18:17] <Trek> floww, your win partition is messed, but dont discuss that here.
[18:17] <Trek> !windows | floww
[18:17] <PatrickGleason> maginot: opera < ie . i said those are fighting words. dont mind me im just bored and very much out of it.
[18:17] <floww> ok
[18:17] <ChogyDan> floww: this may not be an ubuntu problem.  You may have to ask some windows folks
[18:17] <floww> gud idea
[18:17] <Trek> ChogyDan: i already got himn
[18:17] <maginot> PatrickGleason, oh, ok =)
[18:18] <ChogyDan> Trek: ya  :)  I had it typed out..

[18:27] <floww> possible to do fixmbr with ubuntu? any idea
[18:27] <ZykoticK9> floww, for Windows - no
[18:27] <Wild_Doogy> floww: use testdisk
[18:27] <floww> the problem is i cant burn any cd
[18:27] <Wild_Doogy> it might be able to recover using the backup sector
[18:27] <floww> ubuntu live cd inside
[18:28] <Wild_Doogy> floww: ouch lol
[18:28] <valentinex> give me name of good clipboard manager
[18:29] <ChogyDan> valentinex: ubuntu?
[18:29] <valentinex> give me any nice clipboard manager name or i will die
[18:29] <valentinex> yes
[18:29] <rjb> how do i connect two ubuntu 9.10 with crossover cable?
[18:29] <valentinex> in xubuntu was already installed just add to panel
[18:29] <Myrtti> valentinex: clipman in xfce4 :-P
[18:29] <PatrickGleason> rjb: veeerrrryy carefuly
[18:29] <Wild_Doogy>  rjb: static ips
[18:30] <pitwalker> floww: ranish is os independent, with ranis you can restore any disk to the default MBR loader
[18:30] <Wild_Doogy>  rjb: it shouldnt b that bad
[18:30] <valentinex> that clipman can work in ubuntu too?
[18:30] <raj-darkmystery> rjb, what you eaxctly want to do?
[18:30] <nu2linux> When is 10.4 coming out??
[18:30] <ChogyDan> glipper parcellite xfce4-clipman-plugin klipper
[18:30] <Myrtti> valentinex: I don't know? I don't use it.
[18:30] <climenole> Clipboard manager? Parcellite 0.9.2 http://parcellite.sourceforge.net :)
[18:30] <TRiBLy> rjb, plug the cable in both comps? : D
[18:30] <raj-darkmystery> connecting two 9.10 machines means what rjb ?
[18:30] <rjb> raj-darkmystery i have my netbook and my desktop i want to connect
[18:30] <Myrtti> nu2linux: currently the predicted date is 29th
[18:30] <floww> pitwalker: i google it
[18:30] <valentinex> climenole: hey yes thats best my old fav clipboard manager
[18:30] <millertimek1a2m3> anyone here?
[18:30] <rjb> i can get a connection but now i cant share internet connection
[18:31] <Wild_Doogy> question, what takes less prossesing power to encode, vorbis or mp3?
[18:31] <raj-darkmystery> you can plug the cable and can access both endstations as soon as you assign IPs to them
[18:31] <nu2linux> Do you think it will be though
[18:31] <raj-darkmystery> rjb, you can plug the cable and can access both endstations as soon as you assign IPs to them
[18:31] <Wild_Doogy> rjb: you want to share wirless?
[18:31] <rjb> netbook is gateway configured auto eth0 ipv4 shared to other computers
[18:31] <pitwalker> floww: http://www.sysresccd.org/Download  the iso contains ranish boot entry
[18:32] <rjb> yes Wild_Doogy
[18:32] <pitwalker> floww: http://www.ranish.com/part/part.gif
[18:32] <Wild_Doogy> rjb:  you probably only need to se the 2nd computer to static I
[18:32] <Wild_Doogy> IP
[18:32] <floww> pitwalker:  do i need to burn it on a cd?
[18:32] <Myrtti> nu2linux: most likely
[18:33] <rjb> Wild_Doogy second computer has dhcp
[18:33] <rjb> is it ok?
[18:33] <Wild_Doogy> rjb: it is if it works
[18:33] <pitwalker> floww: if you can boot from real floppy: ranish can run form DOS also
[18:33] <Wild_Doogy> rjb: it might not get a IP served through DHCP
[18:33] <rjb> not working now
[18:33] <Wild_Doogy> rjb: so set as static..... not sure what range to set it in
[18:34] <Wild_Doogy> rjb: might be 10.1. something, or 192.168.1. something
[18:35] <Wild_Doogy> floww: somehow you messed up the MBR? and you want to get it dual booting again?
[18:36] <pitwalker> floww: you can not boot with DOS? you can not run the DOS's FDISK wit the /MBR switch?
[18:36] <Wild_Doogy> floww: Yes, thats another way, to fix it is through the windows setup disk
[18:37] <pitwalker> floww: for dual booting GAG is a good tool, naturally systemrescue CD contains ;-)
[18:37] <pitwalker> http://gag.sourceforge.net/
[18:37] <pitwalker> "Allows boot of up to 9 different operating systems."
[18:37] <floww> whats a dual botting gag
[18:38] <Wild_Doogy> Dual booting is booting windows and UBuntu at the same time
[18:38] <floww> umm pitwalker  it works without burning on cd aight?
[18:38] <Wild_Doogy> GAG (I am guessing) is a boot loader
[18:39] <pitwalker> I always install grub to the linux's root partition, GAG is working with this, or i can change the boot flag between primary partitions
[18:39] <floww> ima try it dawg
[18:39] <the-man> irc.telkom.net.id
[18:40] <floww> so i just run the exe right pitwalker ?
[18:40] <pitwalker> floww: official GAG have 2 image: a floppy and a CD ISO
[18:40] <floww> i dont have floppy and i cant burn cds
[18:40] <floww> since im joining with a live ubuntu cd
[18:41] <pitwalker> you can setup and run GAG from a floppy or to the first hard disk
[18:41] <bolex> Hi. My tablet works! But no pressure sensitivity (enabled in gimp but nothing happens)
[18:41] <Wild_Doogy> floww: you should really try testdisk then
[18:41] <Wild_Doogy> sudo apt-get install testdisk
[18:41] <Babu> SomethingXP
[18:41] <Cobwesel> is it possible to pwd protect the trashcan so it cant accidently be emptied by someone?
[18:41] <pitwalker> floww: GAG only OS independent, (ranish 2.40) PART.EXE can run OS independent or from dos
[18:42] <floww> pitwalker: how do i run it on harddisk
[18:43] <bolex> Should tablet pressure work out of the box?
[18:44] <ben_q> hey, can anyone tell me why this does not work as a command? → /usr/bin/xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[Control_L]\[F1]
[18:44] <ZykoticK9> Cobwesel, trash can is user specific (each user has their own) it's located in "~/.local/share/Trash"
[18:44] <ben_q> want to bind a new key to the ctrl+F1 shortcut
[18:45] <pitwalker> floww: http://gag.sourceforge.net/gagn2.gif    save in hard disk option
[18:45] <ZummiG777> Question: How can I tell that a system requires a reboot?  There is the log message when you login, but is there a file or piece of data out there I can check for necessary reboots?
[18:46] <ZykoticK9> ZummiG777, in the up coming Lucid - the power button turns red when you need to reboot - under Karmic, i'm unaware of a way to test - other then getting the message after installing updates
[18:46] <trism> bolex: did you check that your tablet is set to Screen or Window in Edit/Preferences/Input Devices/Configure Extended Input Devices in the GIMP?
[18:47] <ZummiG777> Thanks ZykoticK9
[18:47] <bolex> trism haha yeah i just found that in a guide and it worked =D thanks

I have 4 partitions on Vista along with 20 gigs of free space that I want to install Kubuntu on. kubuntu installer is asking me if I want to install them side by side and the other option that im interested in is USE THE LARGEST CONTINUOUS FREE SPACE. If I select this, would I lose dual boot?
[18:50] <hihihi100> holies.. 4 partitions

[19:03] <purplebluesilver> FreezingUbuntu person is back in the house. I ran the memtest last night to completion. (Ah, then I had a cigarette.) It took 2:22 hours and change. BUT in the AM when I pressed ESCAPE it didnt do anything. In fact nothing I pressed did anything and I tried to try it all. I noticed that the Numlock lisght was on. Nothing was blinking. And so here I am again, imposing on your good graces. (AMD-Ubuntu 9.10- nothing fancy uses browser, xchat, transmission,

[19:04] <Hawky> hi
[19:04] <Neo--> are there any other file managers for ubuntu instead of nautilus?
[19:04] <iustinian> purplebluesilver: sounds like a hardware failure something i suggest to check the motherboards condensators for leak or bloatings
[19:05] <Hawky> konqueror, dolphin are the first two that spring to mind
[19:05] <eremite> Neo--: pcmanfm, thunar, midnight commander
[19:05] <iustinian> does mc qualifies as file manager ?
[19:05] <mattish> any way around the ext4 free space issue ?

[19:09] <hihihi100> this may help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1433869
[19:09] <hihihi100> Ext2/3/4 enables setting aside a fixed percentage of the disk space for use by root. The idea is that if a user process runs out of control and fills the hard disk, the administrator will still have enough free space to log in and fix the problem. By default, these filesystems set aside 5% of the disk space for this purpose. Unfortunately, 5% adds up to a lot of space on big modern drives.

[19:19] <EgYPaRaDoX> My friend has ubuntu  (karmic koala) and he updated it, he installed kubuntu-desktop , the kernel crashes
[19:19] <EgYPaRaDoX> i mean the new
[19:19] <mattish> what does that tune2fs command do ? ok to do on a mounted and inuse partition ?
[19:19] <tmwsiy20121> Is there a way to set an interface ip without a gateway in NetworkManager?
[19:20] <linxeh> mattish: its a way of setting partition parameters that you normally set when you create the partition. the -l option prints all the current settinsg for the given partition
[19:20] <linxeh> mattish: yes, it is safe
[19:20] <linxeh> mattish: other options for it might not be however
[19:21] <ata2> hello guys, I remember that there was an utility able to create DEB packaged directly from post-make files, how was it called? It was really a one-liner command

[19:21] <iustinian> or ip addr help
[19:21] <SecretofMana> Asmund: I suffered from that same issue, restarting fixed it

[19:22] <linxeh> hmm, well that looks about right
[19:23] <linxeh> 1GB of reserved space (ie 5%)
[19:23] <linxeh> that adds up doesnt it ?

[19:24] <makkalot> hi all can someone help me with my radeon hd 3650 ,i'm using radeon driver and have black screen when startx,i'm able to use my system with vesa, xorg.conf : http://paste.pocoo.org/show/196074/  xorg.log : http://paste.pocoo.org/show/196073/
[19:24] <ata2> yes possibly checkinstall ;)
[19:24] <linxeh> mattish: its formatted as 19GB yes
[19:25] <wolter> can somebody help me in a very simple problem? Nicotine SLSK client always opens up when apt-get goes through 'Processing triggers for menu'
[19:25] <guntbert> mattish: I've seen similar things, when one wanted to increase his partition and didn't finish the job. might that be the case here?
[19:25] <mattish> guntbert, Im not sure now you mention that, I seem to remember moving the partitions around awhileago
[19:25] <linxeh> mattish: hangon I was looking at the wrong partition
[19:26] <linxeh> mattish: but yeah, it looks like sda2 / home is formatted as 19GB
[19:26] <zroysch> why is Xorg using 81% cpu, how do i stop it? 2776 root      20   0  445m 122m  24m R   81  6.2  82:37.67 Xorg
[19:26] <mattish> doh linxeh my fault, i ran the tune2fs on /dev/sda1 and its sda2 in question
[19:27] <iustinian> zroysch: some flash plugin in firefox possible
[19:27] <ata2> trism: thanks trism
[19:27] <zroysch> iustinian: just closed firefox. still happening
[19:27] <guntbert> mattish: my first advice: boot from a live CD and run fsck -f on all partitions in that HD (-f means do it even it is seemingly ok)
[19:27] <iustinian> zroysch: is it happening on a freshly rebooted system as well ?
[19:28] <zroysch> iustinian: just closed chrome. still happening
[19:28] <mattish> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/ip1vT1mW with /dev/sda2
[19:28] <mrguitar> I copied the karmic iso to my web server. and the kickststart client hangs on "the installer failed to download a file from the mirror."
[19:28] <zroysch> Xort at 97% cpu now.
[19:28] <zroysch> Xorg.
[19:28] <mrguitar> my clients won't have internet access while kickstart"ing
[19:28] <mrguitar> is this possible
[19:28] <zroysch> iustinian: no, it just started happening.
[19:28] <iustinian> zroysch: frankyl i have no ideea
[19:28] <jetole> Hey guys. Does anyone know how mature 10.4 is? I'm thinking about installing it tonight but I know it's still ~month from being an official release
[19:29] <linxeh> mattish: ok that is the same, 19GB formatted. you should be able to resize it with resize2fs I guess
[19:29] <iustinian> mrguitar: i though kickstart is dependent on network
[19:29] <jetole> ugh, don't use kickstart for ubuntu. It was never made for that and has always lacked features
[19:29] <mattish> so it looks like its formatted as 19gb although the partition its self is larger ?
[19:29] <zroysch> 99% CPU. exellent
[19:29] <guntbert> !lucid | jetole
[19:29] <mrguitar> iustinian: local network.
[19:30] <jetole> guntbert: thanks for the room name to join
[19:30] <mrguitar> jetole: I'm happy to use preseed but I'm failing at that as well.
[19:30] <guntbert> jetole: np - have fun :)
[19:30] <jetole> mrguitar: I use preseed and it works great. I just came in so maybe I missed something
[19:30] <jetole> what part are you failing at?
[19:30] <jetole> there are preseed docs for ubuntu
[19:31] <mrguitar> jetole: "the installer failed to download a file from the mirror."
[19:31] <disappearedng> Hey i attached my ext hd to my computer and nothing shows up in gnome. I tailed /var/log/message and it clearly showed that the hd is plugged in. is there an eqauvalent of /etc/fstab for this purpose?
[19:31] <mrguitar> I had one setup for 7.04 and it worked great
[19:31] <jetole> mrguitar: when does it say that?
[19:31] <jetole> I have used preseed from 6.10 to current in the both the office and at the data center
[19:32] <mattish> would it be easier to erase that partition and recreate it ?
[19:32] <mrguitar> do you install over the internet or from a local repository
[19:32] <linxeh> mattish: yeah
[19:32] <linxeh> mattish: to the first bit
[19:32] <linxeh> mattish: its pretty easy to resize :)
[19:32] <jetole> mrguitar: local, I use apt-cacher-ng
[19:32] <mattish> wonder how i managed to mess that up
[19:32] <mrguitar> maybe my problem is copying the iso to the web server.
[19:32] <jetole> mrguitar: anyways, good luck. I'm at the office and I have a lot to do right now but read the ubuntu preseed docs
[19:32] <mrguitar> does that not work anymore
[19:33] <jetole> mrguitar: whoa
[19:33] <jetole> don't use a iso if installing over the net
[19:33] <mrguitar> ah
[19:33] <jetole> one sec
[19:33] <guntbert> mattish: may I guess? partition magic?
[19:33] <benishor> any developer that used cmake before ?
[19:33] <mattish> never use the thing
[19:33] <arabica> bsd cmake?
[19:33] <mattish> all partitioned with fdisk
[19:33] <benishor> arabica: any cmake
[19:34] <benishor> and by using it I mean actually writing CMakeLists.txt files
[19:34] <mattish> actually it may have been cfdisk, it was from within ubuntu atleast, so probably my fault rather than the application :)
[19:35] <jetole> mrguitar: I'm looking for the link right now but you need to download a seperate kernel and initrd to do a net install
[19:35] <jetole> ad both the kernel and especially the initrd are designed for it
[19:35] <mrguitar> I grabed the netinstall kernel and initrd
[19:35] <jetole> the iso does not have the support in the initrd. IT WILL NOT WORK!
[19:35] <jetole> mrguitar: then what is the ISO for?
[19:36] <mrguitar> I'm using the netinstall initrd. I copied the karmic iso to my web server. like you would a RHEL iso.
[19:36] <jetole> oooookay
[19:36] <mrguitar> I'm clearly missing a step
[19:36] <jetole> it's not redhat
[19:36] <jetole> read the docs
[19:36] <mrguitar> :)
[19:36] <mrguitar> I have been
[19:37] <mrguitar> do i need a local apt mirror
[19:37] <jetole> https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/installation-guide/powerpc/preseed-using.html
[19:37] <zroysch> how do i make Xorg stop using 99% CPU and sending my temps over 95C
[19:37] <WierdAAR> Can anybody spot an wireless controller in this -> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/407196/
[19:38] <jetole> mrguitar: you don't need the apt mirror but it takes longer from the net, if you use a apt cacher it downloads it once so if you do a lot of installs then the first one will be as slow as downloading from the net but with the cacher it will mean all other installs will be fast
[19:39] <jetole> mrguitar: apt-cacher-ng acts like a proxy, the first time a package is asked for it downloads it. After that it stores it and has it locally for all other computers requesting the same package but if you are only preseeding one computer then don't bother with a cache but then again with only one computer, don't worry about preseeding either
[19:39] <jetole> also make sure you have dhcp running.
[19:39] <jetole> ok, I am gone. Good luck mrguitar
[19:39] <mrguitar> thanks

[19:45] <newbie> good night see you
[19:45] <newbie> bye
[19:45] <iamnotaguest> Hey, for developing server apps etc, what language would you suggest in Linux? I'd use C# in Windows
[19:45] <iamnotaguest> I was looking at python, but is that really suitable?
[19:46] <trism> Korcia: you should join #ubuntu+1 for lucid discussion, but the topic there says that gnome 2.30 is being uploaded, so not to upgrade yet, which likely may be your problem with empathy
[19:46] <mrguitar> here's my situation. I need to automate ubuntu deployments in areas w/ no internet access. We've been distributing VMs that are PXE/kickstart servers. I was able to make this work w/ 7.04, but I'm missing something in karmic.
[19:46] <erUSUL> iamnotaguest: looked at mono implementation of ASP.NET ?
[19:47] <newbie> Is this good english?=The first trial already blew.
[19:47] <BluesKaj> iamnotaguest, why not check the server OS apps to see what they're written in
[19:47] <jereanon> iamnotaguest, python is suitable for lots of things. Java would be very suitable for that scenario
[19:47] <iamnotaguest> erUSUL: I know there's mono, but I want something better supported accross servers.
[19:47] <mrguitar> I'd love to use preseed but I'm not sure how to create the install source on my web server (the VM)
[19:47] <iamnotaguest> jereanon: I hate Java.
[19:47] <iamnotaguest> BluesKaj: Very good idea !
[19:47] <jereanon> iamnotaguest, and you like c#?
[19:47] <iamnotaguest> jereanon: Aye, I do indeed :)
[19:47] <beernarrd_> hi
[19:48] <iamnotaguest> I just duslike java as a user
[19:48] <jereanon> iamnotaguest, well..  sounds like you don't know much about java
[19:48] <iamnotaguest> Meh, I see no point in learning it
[19:48] <newbie> I would use win32 API to get the smallest program
[19:48] <iamnotaguest> I figure I may as well learn something foreign to me as well
[19:49] <newbie> hard but woth it
[19:49] <beernarrd_> i have one little question :
[19:49] <beernarrd_> has anybody else had troubles with logitech mouses recently

[19:49] <newbie> nope
[19:49] <newbie> have one
[19:50] <beernarrd_> i have two of them and both stopped working this week
[19:50] <beernarrd_> funny coincidence...
[19:50] <newbie> win or ubuntu

[19:50] <hagabaka> why aren't ruby1.9 and ruby1.9.1 set as alternatives for ruby?

[19:51] <nis> how do i uninstall from terminal after i have written "sudo apt-get install xchat"
[19:51] <newbie> if the lights are out its the hardware or they're getting no juice
[19:52] <erUSUL> nis: sudo apt-get purge xchat
[19:52] <nis> ty
[19:52] <newbie> might wanna check if the usb ports have power
[19:52] <newbie> Is this good english?=The first trial already blew.

[19:58] <Vigo> TomT: Which version are you running?
[19:58] <newbie> beernarrd_: that is like mounting

[20:08] <rjb> i am sharing internet connection between two computers? how can i share documents?
[20:08] <Serraphyn> zus, did you ask in #winehq?
[20:08] <eremite> zus: sorry I cant help.
[20:09] <lazarus> hi all
[20:09] <Vigo> TomT: I am uncertain, but it seems like that thread says it does.
[20:09] <Serraphyn> rjb: man samba
[20:09] <zus> Serraphyn, oh thanks didnt know there was a channel...
[20:09] <Session416> Hi, I was told to come here for some help. I'm pretty new to linux in general and I feel really dumb. :(
[20:09] <rjb> Serraphyn ok
[20:09] <zus> eremite,  thanks as well
[20:09] <dj_segfault> Session416: Step one: Ask a question
[20:09] <rjb> Serraphyn i have two ubuntu machines only
[20:10] <beernarrd_> Vigo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/407208/ --> it seems as it's been recognised two times, once as a mouse and once as a kbd
[20:10] <Serraphyn> Session416, ask away, people help with what they can.
[20:10] <iamnotaguest> dj_segfault: +1!
[20:10] <eremite> rjb: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/network-configuration.html
[20:10] <zus> Serraphyn,  though there is no one there hah
[20:10] <zus> wait lol
[20:10] <TomT> OK Thanks
[20:10] <Serraphyn> zus, unfortunately it ebbs and flows in that channel, You'll find though that WINE and its related issues are offtopic for here, might try in #ubuntu-offtopic also
[20:11] <Session416> I'm running Ubuntu netbook revolution and I'm having sound issues - mostly the sound doesn't work but sometimes it does. I've been running through a troubleshooting list and it indicates that my soundcard isn't supported, but if that was the main issue I'd think the sound wouldn't work at all rather than intermittently =/
[20:11] <lantizia_> Has anyone ever come in here asking where they can buy a copy of your product?
[20:11] <zus> Serraphyn,  thanks  i clicked the link you gave wich had the ? as part of the channel name
[20:11] <eremite> Serraphyn: WINE issues are supported here, correct me if I am wrong.  Canonical supports all apps that it cleams to in the repos, correct?
[20:11] <Serraphyn> Session416, Not supported doesn't always mean dead parts.
[20:12] <Serraphyn> eremite, I have been told that its not supported here many times by administrators of this channel.
[20:12] <kushalone> lantizia_: you can buy a _copy_ of their product. Just go to ubuntu.com and order your dvd
[20:12] <dj_segfault> Session416: Yes, if it works sometimes it's probably supported.  When it stops working, try closing Firefox.  If that doesn't fix it, try "pulseaudio -k && pulseaudio --start"
[20:12] <lantizia_> kushalone: lol I know, I was just wondering if ever came in and asked that question?
[20:13] <eremite> Session416: you're the 100th person to complain about sound and Ubuntu sicne the latest release.  Patience will get you answers since so many people have experience with this problem.  Stuick around and hope for the best.
[20:13] <Session416> dj_segfault: It's not just in Firefox that I have issues though
[20:13] <eremite> Serraphyn: isnt wine on the cannonical list of applications they provide support for?  I believe so....
[20:13] <Session416> I know my soundcard isn't on the list of soundcards that ALSA supports though.
[20:13] <Serraphyn> eremite, support from ubuntu, but not from this Channel
[20:13] <lantizia_> HEY Session416 !  Have a nice pretty picture to show how bad Linux Audio is :) http://imagebin.ca/view/4FoUFue.html
[20:14] <dj_segfault> Session416: Understood, but sometimes Firefox (actually the Flash plugin or other plugins) "steal" the sound card and prevent other apps from accessing it while they're running.
[20:14] <Serraphyn> Session416, have you tried other audio servers?
[20:14] <lazarus> i wish to make a bash script to resize the gnome panels to 19 would anyone be able to assist me?
[20:14] <kushalone> Has anyone had any experience with Canonical support? How is it?
[20:14] <tachiro1> holy .."S"
[20:14] <tachiro1> i've been wondering wtf is up with sound in general
[20:14] <dj_segfault> lantizia_: Excellent!!!!
[20:14] <Session416> dj_segfault: Ahh, I get you. I'll give that a try.
[20:14] <dj_segfault> Session416: Good luck
[20:14] <eremite> lazarus: just right click on the gnome panel, choose PROPERTIES and change it manually?
[20:14] <Session416> Serraphyn: This is going to make me sound really dumb but I'm not entirely sure what that means. :(
[20:15] <Paranoir> Can anyone help me. I've installed backtrack on my laptop, but I'm not able to find/connect to a wireless network?
[20:15] <Session416> I'm going through the troubleshooting list and I feel like I'm blindfolded in a cave being remotely guided by someone who kind of knows the general layout of the cave
[20:15] <Serraphyn> Session416, TBH that might not be a goodt hing to worry with for you then.  take what dj_segfault said and go with that
[20:15] <lazarus> eremite, i have like a system restore type script i wish to add it to
[20:15] <eremite> Session416: an audio server, such as ALSA, is what plays the music for you.  If you try another server like PulseAudio ro OSS then you might be able to get it working,
[20:16] <tachiro1> man this is kinda heavy traffic here
[20:16] <tachiro1> interesting about the whole sound thing
