[06:11] <ActionParsnip> bullgard: it shows the block devices as well as where they are mounted, you can also use gparted but it wont really distinguish the ub drive from the internal
[06:11] <shazbotmcnasty> imo =  in my opinioni
[06:12] <ActionParsnip> johnzorn: ext4 is pretty stable, ext3 is very well established and pretty solid
[06:12] <mtx_init> leeping_: make a binary image of it with dd
[06:13] <mtx_init> leeping_: dd if=/dev/usb of=usbimage
[06:13] <jguzikowski> are there any tools for ubuntu that i can use to make a bootable flashdrive for windows xp?
[06:13] <mtx_init> find the descriptor by sudi fdisk -l
[06:13] <racerd> imo = imo's pizza
[06:13] <ActionParsnip> leeping_: you can use foremost on the partition itself, you will need a larger destination partition to spit the data onto
[06:13] <leeping_> mtx_init, that's a good idea.  I'll do that. ActionParsnip, thanks for the suggestion, I'll try that too
[06:13] <ActionParsnip> jguzikowski: unetbootin may do it
[06:14] <jguzikowski> unetbootin works in ubuntu?
[06:14] <leeping_> It sounds like I have several ways of getting the data back now, I'll get back to you in a few mins
[06:14] <bullgard> ActionParsnip: I am looking for the name of the USB bridge and not for "the block devices as well as where they are mounted". See http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/smartmontools/wiki/Supported_USB-Devices.
[06:14] <jguzikowski> wow look at that, it does
[06:14] <jguzikowski> i'll give that a shot, thanks
[06:15] <leeping_> I hope I'll be able to do all this from a Ubuntu VM running inside a Mac.  I don't know how to get the device to appear in the VM, usually that involves disconnecting it from the host machine first ...
[06:15] <jguzikowski> thanks ActionParsnip, i'll try this out
[06:15] <ActionParsnip> leeping_: you can boot to a live CD system nd do it there if its no good
[06:15] <ActionParsnip> bullgard: sudo lshw | less    may give clues

[06:19] <^mNotIntelligent> hi all

[06:20] <chelz> Weegee: graphicsmagick
[06:20] <ActionParsnip> leeping_: if its a ppc based mac you will need the ppc iso
[06:21] <Vigo> weechat_user: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-692522.html <<maybe that will help.
[06:21] <amouge> any suggestions?
[06:22] <leeping_> ActionParsnip, doubt it.  I think it's an Intel Core 2 in here .. or something like that.
[06:22] <jguzikowski> ActionParsnip, I'm reading that unetbootin doesn't like XP iso's
[06:22] <shazbotmcnasty> unetbootin only does linux ISOs
[06:22] <Nitrohax> What are you trying to do?
[06:22] <shazbotmcnasty> trying to be a pirate
[06:22] <chelz> dirty pirateses
[06:22] <jguzikowski> I overwrote my XP with Ubuntu
[06:22] <Vigo> gpart
[06:22] <jguzikowski> But now I want to dual boot
[06:23] <^mNotIntelligent> shazbotmcnasty, +1 here
[06:23] <chelz> amouge: the ip then the fqdn you want right?
[06:23] <eryn_1983> hey peeps i  got a question about suspend
[06:23] <jguzikowski> but its a netbook so I can't just install through a CD
[06:23] <eryn_1983> er hibernate
[06:23] <Nitrohax> Oh that's easy stab your eye out and wear a patch, cut off one of your legs and stick a pole there, and always talk about your booty
[06:23] <amouge> chelz: yes I believe so
[06:23] <^mNotIntelligent> !ask | eryn_1983
[06:23] <amouge> hmm.. just noticed that in my terminal.. ssh.. the title bar says<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[06:23] <Nitrohax> oh easy
[06:23] <chelz> amouge: you could try a reboot or bringing the network down then up again
[06:23] <amouge> that could be causing the problem.. but I dunno where my server would be throwing out the example.com
[06:23] <eryn_1983> when i hibernate is there a list of apps to prohibit hibernation?

[06:23] <bullgard> !ask | eryn_1983
[06:23] <Nitrohax> use gparted and make a ntfs partition and then load up your xo and write to that partition. the computer will see the two an dask with grub
[06:23] <amouge> chelz: done multiple reboots on it.. its a vps
[06:24] <^mNotIntelligent> eryn_1983, i guess there is no such option AFAIK
[06:24] <ActionParsnip> leeping_: just an fyi :). The i386 iso will be fine then
[06:24] <jguzikowski> Nitrohax, the problem is I can't make a bootable flashdrive in ubuntu..or rather don't know how
[06:24] <theadmin> eryn_1983: Nope, but if you don't have an active swap partition, you can't hibernate.
[06:24] <jguzikowski> ActionParsnip, thanks man, this seems to be what I'm looking for.
[06:24] <^mNotIntelligent> theadmin, rightly said
[06:24] <Nitrohax> want to make a bootable flash of ubuntu on flashdriver?

[06:25] <ActionParsnip> jguzikowski: ive not used it  but if you have yuor xp cd you can try for free
[06:25] <^mNotIntelligent> Nitrohax, you can use casper file system for persisten storage and make a complete ubuntu install in a pendrive, is that what you want ?

[06:26] <Nitrohax> Batch> it's what they use on the netbook remix sides of it to use webcam,
[06:26] <Batch> ^mNotIntelligent,  Yes, Thanks.
[06:26] <wazzaaaaa> ??
[06:27] <Vigo> wazzaaaaa: I did not see a question...
[06:27] <^mNotIntelligent> eryn_1983, i dont think you can take care of that thing, you mean say you are running some OS thru virtualbox and then you did hibernate and you want when you wake up that virtualbox os should be running as earlire, I dont think that doable
[06:27] <^mNotIntelligent> Batch, no probs dude
[06:28] <Batch> ^mNotIntelligent, Works perfectly. Props. :P
[06:28] <^mNotIntelligent> Batch, :-)
[06:28] <ActionParsnip> wazzaaaaa: i already told you

[06:28] <ActionParsnip> jguzikowski: not smart to broadcast illegal activities
[06:29] <jguzikowski> Illegal?
[06:29] <jguzikowski> I have a legal copy of the disc
[06:29] <ActionParsnip> jguzikowski: downloading an xp iso is not legal
[06:29] <jguzikowski> and a legal serial
[06:29] <wazzaaaaa> ActionParsnip , sorry i didnt catch that :)
[06:29] <wazzaaaaa> vigo ,one of my hardware fails a probe or something on start up , i want to check which one is there a log that ubuntu writes some where where i can look up , ubuntu 9.10
[06:29] <ActionParsnip> jguzikowski: then you must make a copy of your disk, not download it
[06:29] <jguzikowski> Really? I thought just using it without permission was the illegal part
[06:30] <Batch> Does anyone have an intel graphics card/chip?
[06:30] <ActionParsnip> jguzikowski: i'd look into it
[06:30] <ActionParsnip> Batch: many folks do
[06:30] <chiossif> Hi to all. Has anyone used ubuntu (or any other linux flavor) with stereo desktop (3d view with glasses)?
[06:30] <Batch> ActionParsnip, Do you play 3d games?
[06:30] <Vigo> wazzaaaaa: Oh ok, have you tried the ddrescue or similar packages?
[06:30] <jguzikowski> ActionParsnip, i'd rather just grab the files off my CD on another computer t han deal with anything illegal
[06:30] <ActionParsnip> wazzaaaaa: dmesg is all the kernel messages which will show in great detail your bootup
[06:31] <ActionParsnip> Batch: some, i use my main desktop for games with an nvidia chip
[06:31] <indi> aluuuuuuuuuuuuu
[06:31] <Batch> I'm having trouble getting decent fps with an intel graphics card.
[06:31] <theadmin> jguzikowski: By the way, a serial from another CD is not likely gonna work with ISO
[06:31] <ActionParsnip> Batch: what release are you using? lsb_release -c   will show you
[06:31] <jguzikowski> theadmin, really?
[06:31] <amouge> chelz: that didnt fix the problem :(
[06:31] <theadmin> jguzikowski: Yeah, they are CD-dependent
[06:31] <Batch> ActionParsnip, Karmic.
[06:31] <theadmin> jguzikowski: But whatever, that's highly offtopic
[06:31] <chelz> amouge: you sure. you read both of those links?
[06:31] <jguzikowski> Well, crap. I hope I can find that CDs serial then
[06:31] <ActionParsnip> Batch: and what is the output of: lspci | grep -i vga
[06:32] <amouge> chelz: yes...
[06:32] <amouge> lemme post my new hosts file

[06:32] <shazbotmcnasty> ?
[06:32] <ActionParsnip> Batch: oh one of those :(
[06:32] <amouge> thats what I came up with for hosts after reading those two links
[06:32] <Batch> ActionParsnip, Yes, Exactly. :<
[06:32] <wazzaaaaa> Vigo , no
[06:33] <ActionParsnip> Batch: ive seen folks on launchpad ask questions of those, it usually resorts to forming an xorg.conf file to specify settings
[06:33] <bullgard> ActionParsnip: '~ sudo lshw --class disk' does not give clues either.
[06:33] <Batch> ActionParsnip, I don't have an xorg.conf.
[06:33] <Batch> ActionParsnip, I have even tried generating one, No success.

[06:34] <oncret> fjgjhkjl
[06:34] <chelz> amouge: /etc/hostname needs some stuff too apparently
[06:34] <Vigo> wazzaaaaa: Use the Search in Synaptic or look at the packages, there are a few utilities for that. or that may be of some use in that.
[06:34] <Batch> Shitsux.
[06:35] <theadmin> Well, crap, app-install-data is one huge template. I'll definetly come back to it later.
[06:35] <chelz> amouge: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/archive/index.php/t-252484.html
[06:35] <ActionParsnip> Batch: thats all i know then dude, they arent very powerful chips afaik so i dont expect much gaming. if you can get a groovy xorg.conf you may
[06:36] <Batch> ActionParsnip, I know they aren't :) But they should be able to play games with 32MB dependant graphics, DirectX 8.0 games?
[06:36] <amouge> chelz: getting closer
[06:36] <amouge> my /etc/hostname had the fqdn.. but it should have just had the hostname
[06:36] <ActionParsnip> Batch: 32mb isnt a lot at all, most gaming cards have at the very lest 128mb
[06:36] <amouge> I think I got it :)
[06:37] <Batch> ActionParsnip, The game works, But the FPS is unplayable.
[06:37] <Batch> Very laggy.
[06:37] <ActionParsnip> Batch: drop resolution and graphic depth so the card can handle it
[06:37] <chelz> amouge: for the record, <IP_ADDRESS> should be localhost and the <IP_ADDRESS> should be the domain thing
[06:37] <amouge> yay.. apache is now resolving
[06:37] <amouge> chelz: thanks.. I will change that
[06:37] <Batch> ActionParsnip, Via ---> Appearance?
[06:38] <Batch> ActionParsnip, Unless you can tell me how to properly install windows XP via usb XD
[06:38] <ActionParsnip> Batch: via the settings in the games you play, drop to a lower res and use less colour depth, use less or no shading
[06:38] <wazzaaaaa> Vigo , i guess its just a hardware just needs a driver or something , probably a cardreader or modem , i just need to confirm which one
[06:38] <theadmin> Batch: There is a tool for that.
[06:38] <ActionParsnip> Batch: i dont use xp, its garbage for my needs and costs
[06:39] <Batch> theadmin, I have tried alot of tools via googling, Most give me errors at boot.
[06:39] <Batch> ActionParsnip, Roger.
[06:39] <theadmin> Batch: AFAIR one of wintoflash.com works fine. It will need a working XP CD or a ISO (mounted) at the install time though
[06:40] <Batch> theadmin, I use downloaded .iso's.
[06:40] <Batch> theadmin, But i have a legal serial.
[06:40] <pvh_sa|wrk> hey there... i got a problem with the graphical update manager
[06:40] <theadmin> Batch: Well... as i said, AFAIR those serials are cd-dependent
[06:41] <theadmin> Batch: But you can try anyway
[06:41] <ActionParsnip> pvh_sa|wrk: does: sudo apt-get update  go without a hitch?
[06:41] <Batch> theadmin, Ok thanks. Cheers ActionParsnip and ^mNotIntelligent.
[06:41] <pvh_sa|wrk> when i hit "install updates" it just freezes. doesn't ask for my password, nothing. so i do all my passwords on the commandline with apt-get upgrade, no problems. this is on karmic
[06:41] <Batch> I'm out, Later.
[06:41] <pvh_sa|wrk> ActionParsnip, yup, works fine
[06:41] <ranjan> is there a chaching nameserver package for ubuntu
[06:42] <ActionParsnip> pvh_sa|wrk: try reinstalling the updater app from CLI
[06:42] <theadmin> Woah, that's one dangerous quit message Batch got there
[06:43] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: lots :(
[06:43] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: eh?
[06:43] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: about the quit message...its lots dangerous
[06:44] <pvh_sa|wrk> ActionParsnip, could this be related to pam config? since i use pam_fprint in addition to pam_unix?
[06:44] <Nitrohax> it's a line form death
[06:44] <Milligan> Hey. Im using OSS wrapper for sound in wine. The problem is that if wine is running an app that uses sound, no other apps can use sound. Is there any way around this ?
[06:44] <bullgard> ranjan: You can find that out yourself using Synaptic: Look for descriptions of all packages and look for the catchword »nameserver«.
[06:44] <ActionParsnip> pvh_sa|wrk: not something ive used dude, no idea
[06:44] <Nitrohax> Milligan> no
[06:44] <Sath> Hi, I don't suppose this would be the place to ask a seriously noob question regarding an Ubuntu problem, would it?
[06:44] <misterB> anyone here ever got DSL to work in karmic without breaking network-manager?
[06:44] <Nitrohax> Sath> what's up?
[06:44] <runemaste> Hello, Im trying to commit to an SVN repo through a freenx session - but it keeps asking me for the "Password for 'login' GNOME keyring" - but ive never set one
[06:44] <ActionParsnip> Sath: its for all levels
[06:45] <runemaste> running 9.10 by the way
[06:45] <bullgard> misterB: me.
[06:45] <theadmin> runemaste: Usually same as your user password
[06:45] <misterB> bullgard: how?
[06:45] <runemaste> doesnt accept it
[06:45] <Sath> I have a mini-dell I picked up last year when they had a big sale, never used Ubuntu before, opened it up for the first time in months and am locked out of all apps
[06:45] <runemaste> nor does it accept blank
[06:45] <Sath> by some Synaptic password that I do not know
[06:45] <Nitrohax> Sath> it's the password that you use to log in
[06:46] <theadmin> runemaste: hm, strange %) Dunno what is freenx though so maybe it's a problem with it
[06:46] <Sath> There isn't one currently, to my knowledge/recollection
[06:46] <Sath> I booted up tonight without any password
[06:46] <bullgard> misterB: I have written 6 books in my life. But I will not write another one just for you. Please put a more specific question here in this channel addressed to everyone.
[06:46] <Nitrohax> there's a SUDO password that you put in during setup.
[06:46] <Sath> I am getting prompted when I try to add/remove programs or update programs
[06:46] <Milligan> Sath, they probably have a default username/password . I'd google your brand and see what comes up.
[06:46] <pvh_sa|wrk> ActionParsnip, thanks, the reinstall fixed it
[06:46] <Sath> Appreciate it.
[06:47] <theadmin> Sath: Mabe it's set to log in automatically. There ALWAYS is a password.
[06:47] <runemaste> theadmin: also, it works fine from a session on the actual machine
[06:47] <Nitrohax> the user password, it might not login with it, but you need it to run any type of admin function to a linux system
[06:47] <runemaste> no prompt
[06:47] <Sath> It's a dell inspiron 910
[06:47] <Nitrohax> Sath> oh it came with ubuntu?
[06:47] <Sath> when I went to the user topic there was no password entered in any field, but to change it, it asked for a password -.-
[06:47] <Sath> Yes
[06:48] <Sath> I've only used windows before but I saw some cool math/science apps and was really looking forward to trying them out
[06:48] <ActionParsnip> pvh_sa|wrk: nice
[06:48] <shazbotmcnasty> I made an md5sum of a bunch of files, then I moved them to an external, how do I check that md5sum?
[06:48] <almoxarife> those pesky forgotten passwords can be such a chore
[06:48] <theadmin> Sath: lol that's a pretty unusual reason to switch...
[06:48] <shazbotmcnasty> I know I can do md5sum -c
[06:48] <Nitrohax> Sath> did you by chance just leave them blank and press enter?
[06:48] <amouge> so far, for a basic cpanel replacement for my clients, ispConfig 3 seems decent
[06:48] <shazbotmcnasty> but like, it doesn't work, because the md5sum says it goes to ~/, when it's going to /media/external/
[06:49] <Sath> Well, I have 2 main windows PCs and my wife has a windows PC as well, but I'd heard linux was a better choice for a lot of things
[06:49] <Sath> I tried the blank password already :(
[06:49] <Sath> along with every password I've ever had in my entire life
[06:49] <Sath> and all variations of them
[06:49] <Nitrohax> ok, see if he finds a default for you
[06:49] <Nitrohax> dell mini what?
[06:49] <chelz> Sath: restart and boot to the recovery console and select reset password
[06:49] <Sath> mini 10
[06:49] <Nitrohax> there you go.
[06:49] <bullgard> shazbotmcnasty: Read 'man md5sum'
[06:49] <Nitrohax> chelz> is the man
[06:50] <theadmin> chelz: Huh? never seen such an option there
[06:50] <shazbotmcnasty> bullgard, I DID
[06:50] <shazbotmcnasty> and I read man md5deep
[06:50] <Sath> Ok, let me try that
[06:50] <shazbotmcnasty> I used md5deep to actually do the md5sum
[06:50] <Nitrohax> Sath> lets us know what happens
[06:50] <chelz> theadmin: "recovery mode" http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/image55.png
[06:50] <Sath> ok
[06:50] <chelz> Sath: recovery mode
[06:50] <bullgard> shazbotmcnasty: So, what did you not understand in it?
[06:51] <shazbotmcnasty> the stuff is not at the original place
[06:51] <chelz> oh
[06:51] <chelz> Sath: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword
[06:51] <chelz> yeah there's no specific reset passoption
[06:51] <theadmin> chelz: Here's what mine has, off top of my head: root console, repair X.org (this one dissapeared in Karmic though), update grub, resume to normal boot... and some other sutff
[06:51] <chelz> theadmin: yeah, gotta drop to a shell prompt and do passwd
[06:52] <shazbotmcnasty> okay, the stuff is at "/media/BIGTB/Big TB/torrentbackup/My Torrents" - the original file is at "~/My Torrents"
[06:52] <theadmin> chelz: Oh, right, makes sense now
[06:52] <chelz> would be nice to have a reset password option right there
[06:52] <chelz> i thought there was one for some reason
[06:52] <shazbotmcnasty> I can do 'md5sum -c file.md5' that I made, but it looks in ~/My Torrents
[06:52] <Sath> I did boot menu and I have HD/CD/Removable devices/Network Boot/Diagnostics
[06:52] <shazbotmcnasty> not the place that they actually are.
[06:52] <Nitrohax> chelz> might be to much of a security risk though you know
[06:52] <Sath> should I have pressed 2 for setup instead of 0 for boot options?
[06:53] <Nitrohax> Sath> somethings changed hold on
[06:53] <Sath> ok
[06:53] <Nitrohax> http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword
[06:53] <Nitrohax> that's from chelz
[06:53] <chelz> Sath: follow that link. get to the GRUB menu. you might have to press esc to get it.

[06:56] <misterB> ActionParsnip: Like I said. pppoeconf broke my computer before. That's why I'm here asking.
[06:56] <SpaceGhostC2C> bazhang: sry bazhang.
[06:56] <misterB> ActionParsnip: and the person I'm setting it up for doesn't have a router and doesn't want to buy one.
[06:57] <bntly> misterB: then they are silly :/
[06:57] <Nitrohax> misterB> i'll look at somethings also
[06:57] <misterB> bntly: now that's something I can't change.
[06:57] <bntly> misterB: hehe very true!
[06:57] <Nitrohax> misterB> you say dsl right?
[06:58] <misterB> Nitrohax: yeah.
[06:58] <Nitrohax> misterB> under the networking options all the dsl settings are there without having to d/l anytign else
[06:58] <bntly> Has anyone else been having problems with flash 10 under lucid? Choppy video but fine sound playback?
[06:58] <Nitrohax> misterB> what are you trying to do with the dsl?
[06:58] <ravibn> Hi! I have a problem with my Frontech ecam JIL 2214. When gstream-properties is used it works perfectly alright.
[06:58] <ravibn> But when I use skype or cheese webcam booth any other application it does show blank
[06:58] <ravibn> This webcam is fully functional with www.chatroulette.com and u can see me online
[06:58] <bazhang> bntly, #ubuntu+1 for lucid please
[06:58] <FloodBot3> ravibn: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:58] <misterB> Nitrohax: yeah.
[06:59] <bntly> bazhang: thanks :D
[06:59] <misterB> Nitrohax: was using network manager, but that broke in Karmic
[06:59] <Nitrohax> misterB> what prob are you having with the dsl setup?
[06:59] <ravibn> Ok! FloodBot3
[06:59] <Nitrohax> shouldn't have. did you make sure it's fully up to date?
[06:59] <misterB> Nitrohax: connection tries to connect and never does.
[07:00] <misterB> Nitrohax: it times out I think
[07:00] <Nitrohax> misterB>  one sec i'm pming
[07:00] <shazbotmcnasty> when I do md5sum -c file.md5 - and it says "OK" after... that means that the file matched up right???
[07:00] <Sath> Having issues getting to the recovery boot, neither esc nor shift worked, I'm in the setup menu right now
[07:00] <shazbotmcnasty> or do I have to md5 again?
[07:00] <Sath> and it has Quickboot enabled, I don't suppose that is part of the issue?
[07:01] <Nitrohax> Sath> http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword
[07:01] <Nitrohax> Sath> did you try that link?
[07:01] <leeping_> mtx_init, fsck is returning an error.  It says : "only 1 or 2 FATs are supported, not 235."
[07:01] <ravibn> Hi! I have a problem with my Frontech ecam JIL 2214. When gstream-properties is used it works perfectly alright. But when I use skype or cheese webcam booth any other application it does show blank. This webcam is fully functional with www.chatroulette.com and u can see me online. Can u provide a fix?
[07:01] <mtx_init> leeping_: maybe it only does fat and fat16
[07:01] <leeping_> ActionParsnip, are you still here?  It seems foremost is a way to recover individual files, whereas I'm hoping to get the entire partition back
[07:01] <Nitrohax> ravibn> try skype prefrences?
[07:01] <Sath> Yeah I clicked it but it has said the same thing you guys said, aka press esc to select recovery boot
[07:01] <Sath> which is what I'm having trouble accessing :\
[07:01] <ActionParsnip> shazbotmcnasty: yes :D
[07:01] <leeping_> mtx_init, it supports FAT32.  I just don't know if it recognizes my disk as such
[07:02] <shazbotmcnasty> ActionParsnip, YES
[07:02] <mtx_init> is it mounted leeping_ ?
[07:02] <Nitrohax> misterB> do you need a log in or user name to get on the dsl?
[07:02] <leeping_> mtx_init, the partition doesn't show up.  It simply says /dev/sdb
[07:02] <s4aluck> do somebody has tripwire installed?
[07:02] <Sath> although it does say 'hold' the shift key, I'll try that
[07:02] <leeping_> There is no /dev/sdb1
[07:02] <SpaceGhostC2C> s4aluck: do you have a question?
[07:02] <ActionParsnip> leeping_: then use a wildcard for the mask of files yuo require recovering. Do you not have a backup of the data. This would be smarter and easier and garuntee results
[07:02] <ravibn> Nitrohax: I tried that and there is a test button. when I press that it shows blank options ---> video
[07:02] <s4aluck> SpaceGhostC2C:  yes, I was trying to make the setting but something went wrong
[07:02] <leeping_> ActionParsnip, I wish I had.  They aren't my files, there is no backup
[07:03] <mtx_init> leeping_: try fsck.vfat /dev/sdb1
[07:03] <SpaceGhostC2C> s4aluck: you should ask your question. What exactly are you trying to do, and what is happening?
[07:03] <mtx_init> see if it works
[07:03] <ravibn> Nitrohax : it really works great with www.chatroulette.com why not with skype?
[07:03] <leeping_> mtx_init, No such file or directory
[07:04] <Nitrohax> there should be a setting with skype to control the hue and brightness
[07:04] <leeping_> mtx_init, the best luck I've had so far was with GetDataBack (a Windows program).  It was able to recover most of the files except for the most recent ones, and the directory names got all scrambled up
[07:04] <mtx_init> ActionParsnip: what did you nmean by a wildcard?
[07:04] <s4aluck> SpaceGhostC2C: See this http://pastie.org/877842
[07:04] <mtx_init> leeping_: I use it all the time, its pretty good
[07:04] <leeping_> mtx_init, do you know if it's possible to get directory names back?
[07:04] <ravibn> Nitrohax : lette me try changing that in skype once again
[07:04] <ActionParsnip> mtx_init: a * like in searches etc, it means ';everything'
[07:05] <mtx_init> leeping_: I usually just take what it gives
[07:05] <nomad77> leeping_: if all else fails,try testdisk,but read about its useage first before using.
[07:05] <Sath> Both shift and network boot are bringing me to a MBR 2FA: prompt
[07:05] <Sath> I am so confused, lol
[07:05] <leeping_> nomad77, I tried testdisk as well.  It first reports no partition found.  If I try the deeper scan, it seems to report a partition found, but doesn't allow me to select it
[07:06] <leeping_> nomad77, I think I should be able to get some utility out of testdisk, but I don't know why it's not allowing me to select the partition that it found
[07:06] <leeping_> maybe the partition is blank because it has no name?
[07:07] <nomad77> leeping_: hmm well distrowatch-search will let you look for forensic,recovery distro's,etc.
[07:07] <leeping_> nomad77, I'll see if I can find anything there.  Let me try testdisk again though :)
[07:07] <Sath> I cannot for the life of me figure out why my computer won't let me into this area
[07:07] <ravibn> Nitorhax : there are no hue and brightness setting are not there in Skype under options---->video devices but it is pointing to the correct device file /dev/video0
[07:08] <Nitrohax> one sec
[07:08] <s4aluck> SpaceGhostC2C: I think I made something wrong. Probably I made mistake with editing the setins. Can you help?
[07:08] <ActionParsnip> leeping_: you only need testdisk or dd_rescue if trhe drive is physically failing, you can use foremost directly on the partition if its healthy
[07:09] <Sath> MBR 2FA prompt again, ugh
[07:09] <leeping_> ActionParsnip, I doubt that I can use foremost if Ubuntu can't find the partition.. it can only find the device.  or am I mistaken?
[07:09] <ravibn> Nitrohax : my Q is how come it is working with www.chatroulette.com and gstreamer-properties why not with any other apps ?
[07:09] <ActionParsnip> leeping_: then use the device raw, its all good
[07:09] <leeping_> nomad77, testdisk reports having found a FAT32 partition, but it doesn't allow me to select it after the search is over.  I don't know why it's doing this
[07:09] <DcMeese> Anybody know of a good DEBIAN manager?
[07:09] <Nitrohax> ravibn> looking at it right now
[07:10] <mihir> how to open corel draw .cdr file in ubuntu Inkscape is not able to open cdr file is there any other way to open it
[07:10] <SpaceGhostC2C> DcMeese: yourself?
[07:10] <ActionParsnip> DcMeese: debian isnt supported here
[07:10] <DcMeese> ActionParsnip: Oh :( why not?
[07:10] <s4aluck> do somebody know how to edit the setins for tripwire???
[07:10] <ravibn> Nitrohax : thank u I will wait for your answer
[07:10] <mtx_init> leeping_: foremost wont find much more than getdataback, but its a try
[07:11] <leeping_> mtx_init, do you know if foremost tries to get the directories back too?
[07:11] <SpaceGhostC2C> DcMeese: because this is ubuntu, not debian support channel.
[07:11] <mtx_init> leeping_: it doesnt
[07:11] <DcMeese> SpaceGhostC2C: :) thanks
[07:11] <Sath> Ok, maybe I can approach this a different way. Someone else suggested that if I can't get this to work I can download a newer version and reformat?
[07:11] <SpaceGhostC2C> DcMeese: later friend.
[07:11] <mihir> hello friends
[07:11] <Nitrohax> ravibn> so when you click on the test button in the window you aren't seeing anythign but on other programs you are seeing stuff? and it's pointed at the right device? am i correct?
[07:11] <DcMeese> SpaceGhostC2C: Im not leaving lol
[07:11] <mtx_init> leeping_: its a forensics application, its there to look at descriptors of files rather than recover them.
[07:11] <mihir> how to open corel draw .cdr file in ubuntu Inkscape is not able to open cdr file is there any other way to open it
[07:12] <SpaceGhostC2C> DcMeese: I didn't say that, I said later as in I'm gonna do other things now. Later.
[07:12] <ravibn> Nitrohax : yes! your are correct
[07:12] <Nitrohax> ravibn> when did you download skype?
[07:12] <ravibn> nitrohax : from www.skype.com
[07:12] <DcMeese> SpaceGhostC2C: Oh. Lol. Ha. 0_O
[07:12] <Nitrohax> ravibn> when?
[07:13] <mtx_init> leeping_: gl im off to bed
[07:13] <ravibn> Nitrohax : yesterday
[07:13] <Nitrohax> flukebox> halcyon + on+ on
[07:13] <mihir> how to open corel draw .cdr file in ubuntu Inkscape is not able to open cdr file is there any other way to open it
[07:13] <Nitrohax> ravibn> ok one sec more pelase
[07:13] <ActionParsnip> mihir: you may be able to get a plugin. I'd ask in inkscape. If its a proprietary format you may luck out
[07:14] <leeping_> mtx_init, thanks!
[07:14] <kosnick> i tried to upgrade my ubuntu istallation on my eeepc and seems like it stucked at the very end. it did downloaded all the packeges, it did installed them and then while "cleaning up" (less than one minute remaining - as it said) it stuck in "processing triggers for python support" . Any ideas what to do? (by the way i tried to ctrl-c and i got a message that if i do that i might leave the system broken and finally backed off.
[07:15] <Nitrohax> ravibn> i sent you a pm
[07:15] <mihir> how to open cdr format in ubuntu
[07:15] <ravibn> Nitrohax : What pm?
[07:16] <flukebox> Nitroxhax: what ?
[07:16] <Nitrohax> flukebox> nm you must not be a fan of fluke the band
[07:16] <flukebox> :P
[07:16] <flukebox> that must be the case
[07:17] <mihir> how to open corel draw file in ubuntu
[07:17] <kosnick> ok i just got a message to go on  ;)
[07:17] <SpaceGhostC2C> mihir: did you ask where another user told you to go ask?
[07:17] <Ten-Eight> mihir: from what I have been able to find, there is no way to open a .cdr file with Inkscape.
[07:18] <Nitrohax> ravibn> well since the private message (pm) isn't working. i would try to video chat with a skype user and see if they can see you. Seems more like a skype program glitch
[07:18] <timClicks> hi - is the new light theme available anywhere?
[07:18] <ravibn> Nitrohax : No ! I need it for video conf with my clients across globe
[07:19] <timClicks> I would like to experiment with it wihout trying the whole karmic beta
[07:19] <Ten-Eight> mihir: if a drawing created in coreldraw can be saved as .svg, then Inkscape should be able to open it as it deal with .svg quite nicely.
[07:19] <Nitrohax> ravibn> unless you want to tell me your skype number and or name here and i try to connect with you that's my solution. i think it's just skype not showing you the test picture. so test it on another user
[07:19] <SpaceGhostC2C> timClicks: karmic isn't in beta, Lucid is.
[07:19] <Ten-Eight> if someone else knows differently, please correct me.
[07:20] <ravibn> Nitrohax : sure my skype id ravi.kumar.b.n
[07:20] <nomad77> mihir: this may work or try the gimp http://sk1project.org/modules.php?name=Products&product=sk1
[07:20] <timClicks> SpaceGhostC2C: *facepalm*
[07:20] <ravibn> Nitrohax : can u give me your skype id pl
[07:21] <mihir> but in that case we need to embade image and it will almost turn out to be jpg file which cannot be ungrouped in inkskape
[07:22] <racerd> so did ubuntu send out an update for video drivers?
[07:22] <racerd> !graphics
[07:22] <racerd> !nvidia
[07:22] <Ten-Eight> if the image can be saved as .svg in Coreldraw, Inkscape should be able to deal with it.
[07:22] <Nitrohax> ravibn> that was me calling, you need o try to turn on your webcam when i try again. i don't have a mic on this computer
[07:23] <s4aluck> do somebody knows how to edit the setings for tripwire???
[07:24] <Bob_Dole> how's the 10.04 release coming along? still as buggy as the 9.10 release?
[07:31] <Liyo> Hola
[07:31] <ldvx> !english
[07:33] <DcMeese> I was surprised at canonical's haste at sending me my copy of Ubuntu 9.10... Is that typical? Im in the USA.
[07:35] <Sath> is there an ubuntu 8.4?
[07:35] <lonejack> Hi, does someone know if exist a sw on ubuntu repo like source navigator?
[07:35] <Sath> 8.04*
[07:36] <Pokeruler> night :D
[07:36] <DcMeese> Sath: yes
[07:36] <Sath> could that be why I'm having issues? is it booting differently or has a different command?
[07:36] <Sath> apparently I have 8.04
[07:36] <ldvx> lonejack: what do you mean? an apt-get search GUI?
[07:37] <n3k0rm> Whats a good GUI IRC client for Ubuntu? Using the Empathy client now, would use irssi, but I'm in the mood for a GUI IRC
[07:37] <CrustyBarnacle> n3k0rm: xchat
[07:37] <Ten-Eight> xchat is a great gui irc client.
[07:37] <ldvx> +1 for xchat
[07:37] <DcMeese> Xchat rocks
[07:37] <n3k0rm> Oh, yeah, I forgot about xchat. Thanks CrustyBarnacle and Ten-Eight
[07:38] <DcMeese> +27.5
[07:39] <lonejack> ldvx: I would like a sort of sw that allow me to browse: methods, variables, constant on a C/C++ project. Like "source navigator"( http://sourcenav.sourceforge.net/).......
[07:39] <djdarkman> hello, does someone know how can I get dpkg errors?
[07:40] <djdarkman> I can't upgrade a package and I want to know what the error is
[07:40] <n3k0rm_> dj, have you installed the essienstials package?
[07:40] <timClicks> djdarkman: are you using apt-get or aptitude?
[07:40] <djdarkman> timClicks: apt
[07:40] <ldvx> lonejack: aah. what about emacs or vim?
[07:40] <djdarkman> invoke-rc.d: initscript mysql, action "stop" failed.
[07:41] <djdarkman> this is what I get
[07:41] <DcMeese> "sudo apt-get install packagename", djdarkman ?

[07:41] <winXPuser> hello I got the ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.nrg image from the website but don't have a CD to burn it (yet). what are the possible things for me to do?
[07:42] <djdarkman> sudo apt-get remove mysql-server-5.1 but the same happens when I want to upgrade
[07:42] <harisund> how do I replace metacity with something that supports tiling on Ubuntu?
[07:42] <ldvx> harisund: look for an xmonad/awesomewm guide
[07:43] <timClicks> djdarkman: guess: anything in /var/log/?
[07:43] <n3k0rm_> Is there not built-essentials package anymore? DJ, installing that fixed a lot of my dpkg problems, but I'm on 9.10 right now and I don't see it
[07:43] <n3k0rm_> build-essentials*
[07:43] <lonejack> ldvx, emacs can do it? I didn't know
[07:43] <srini> how to do network installation in ubuntu?
[07:43] <timClicks> n3k0rm_: it's "build-essentials"
[07:44] <timClicks> n3k0rm_: build-essentials != built-essentials
[07:44] <djdarkman> it's there
[07:44] <djdarkman> where can I look for logs that say something
[07:44] <n3k0rm_> timClicks, I know, I re corrected myself
[07:44] <Slart> !info build-essential
[07:44] <DcMeese> Would you say Nautilous is the best for FTP?
[07:45] <djdarkman>  /var/log/dpkg.log is useless
[07:45] <timClicks> n3k0rm_: opps
[07:45] <n3k0rm_> Grr, why do I have an underscore... brb
[07:46] <SiennaPhoenix43> My friends is trying to install Ubuntu 9.10 on his ppc iMac. Any tips?
[07:46] <timClicks> SiennaPhoenix43: use a virtual machine
[07:47] <SiennaPhoenix43> Is there no way to set up a dual boot?
[07:47] <timClicks> SiennaPhoenix43: probably, but a VM will mean that it's higly unlikely to go badly
[07:47] <SiennaPhoenix43> timClicks: That's a good point.
[07:48] <Evet> what virtualization solution is suggested for 9.10?
[07:48] <Slart> !vm

[07:57] <Bear10> How do I install a Japanese IME for Ubuntu?
[07:58] <Baloe4567> HI.I'm trying to install karmic from PXE networkboot. Everythings woroks (hardy works and lenny installs also) but with karmic it hangs at initrd.gz ready then nothing. Did i forget something ?
[07:58] <chelz> Sath: follow the video at the end of this: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword
[07:58] <Sath> I did that as well. Since it's a mini-dell it doesn't have a CD drive. Tried external but it doesn't register/recognize the device and doesn't show up as accessable. Lol, I'm losing my mind.
[08:00] <diwant> I have installed Chrome beta, and it is working well so far.

[08:03] <bkovacs> Hello
[08:03] <roughmouth> hi, i am new to the ubuntu world
[08:04] <Sath> omg it's not kidding about 'very fast' I'm doing them almost simaltaneously and it continues to boot. Raging.
[08:04] <DcMeese> roughmouth: Kool. Im rather new myself. You have ubuntu 9.10?
[08:04] <cast> timClicks: man apt-get, /source<enter>
[08:04] <roughmouth> I believe so
[08:05] <chelz> timClicks: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html
[08:05] <Sath> got it!
[08:05] <roughmouth> I am having trouble getting my printer to work and was hoping to find some help
[08:05] <Sath> You're a beast Chelz, thank you so much.
[08:05] <timClicks> cast chelz: thanks, I'm looking to find out how to direct where the source will be downloaded to
[08:05] <chelz> Sath: np. thx for using ubuntu
[08:05] <DcMeese> Bye all
[08:05] <cast> will be cwd
[08:06] <Sath> I'll let you know if it works
[08:06] <roughmouth> it is a lexmark 3650 and it looks like it instaled ok but it wont print a test page
[08:06] <roughmouth> any sugjestion would be apreciated
[08:09] <timClicks> chelz cast: that's quite nice, apt-get tells you that the is available from launchpad and gives you the link to the right branch
[08:10] <Sath> YES! It worked. I have full access.
[08:10] <roughmouth> is my question not worthy?
[08:10] <roughmouth> lol
[08:10] <Sath> Damn you Dell for setting the delay to 0. And thanks again Chelz.

[08:31] <roughmouth> Any ubuntu wizards out there know how to set up multiple displays that will not revert to single display upon restart?
[08:31] <almoxarife> wolf89: my music collection was started and kept that exact way :)
[08:31] <CrustyBarnacle> Baloe4567: using NFS for actual drives on the same server that is providing PXE services and the boot image?
[08:31] <wolf89> almoxarife, =)
[08:32] <wolf89> almoxarife, can u help me with a feature when installing ubuntu?
[08:32] <Baloe4567> CrustyBarnacle Yes but NFS is not needed right ?
[08:32] <almoxarife> wolf89: I can try, shoot
[08:32] <wolf89> i want to install backtrack 4 final n my macbook white, it's based on ubuntu intrepid..
[08:33] <wolf89> the problem is that i don't want ubuntu to overwrite my mbr..
[08:33] <wolf89> how can i do that?
[08:33] <mrselfpwn> don't run grub
[08:33] <almoxarife> wolf89: way over my head
[08:34] <wolf89> mrselfpwn, ? what do u mean?during installation what i have to do?
[08:34] <wolf89> almoxarife, thx anyway=)
[08:34] <cast> wolf89: backup your mbr then
[08:34] <KaV> hello fellows i have a question about an nics could you recommend any channel to ask ?
[08:34] <mrselfpwn> well, i haven't installed to harddisk though I would edit the backtrack install script and have it not run grub
[08:35] <almoxarife> wolf89: I am the guy who actually gave the key to my win7 install in virtualbox, then saw his real install ask for something he no longer had
[08:35] <mrselfpwn> then manually add backtrack with the proper settings to ubuntu's grub
[08:36] <CrustyBarnacle> Baloe4567: No, NFS is not needed.
[08:36] <wolf89> mrselfpwn, i'm under macosx..i'created a partition..it's empty..i want to install in this empty partition bt 4 final without interferring with efi..
[08:37] <mrselfpwn> then don't let it overwrite our mbr
[08:37] <mrselfpwn> your*
[08:37] <chelz> fatcake: you need to reinstall grub
[08:37] <CrustyBarnacle> Baloe4567: TFTP can be used for sharing the boot image/file
[08:37] <mrselfpwn> chelz: it's efi
[08:38] <roughmouth>  Any ubuntu wizards out there know how to set up multiple displays that will not revert to single display upon restart?
[08:38] <CrustyBarnacle> Baloe4567: Sleep time for me.. but, http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/9963
[08:38] <wolf89> mrselfpwn, ok, what options have i got to click or not or what i have to set to do that?
[08:38] <Baloe4567> CrustyBarnacle I know and lenny worked, testing worked, hardu worked, Jaunty give nasty error and after that nothing works
[08:38] <mrselfpwn> wolf89: how do you plan on using something as cli intensive as backtrack, though are not able to figure that out?
[08:39] <CrustyBarnacle> Baloe4567: Try Karmic instead?
[08:39] <almoxarife> wolf89: do you have the ram to run one in virtual?
[08:39] <chelz> mrselfpwn: fatcake is using efi?
[08:39] <Baloe4567> CrustyBarnacle thats the point it doesnt work .. seems like the netboot installer is bugged, but all the toturials speak fine of it
[08:39] <wolf89> almoxarife, yep..
[08:39] <mrselfpwn> wolf89: honestly, i haven't installed to harddisk, i would havve to look at it
[08:39] <wolf89> i get it...vmware..=)
[08:39] <mrselfpwn> chelz: ah, nvm
[08:40] <amol112>  hi all, i have MTNL modem lsusb shows 0451:6060 ,it gets detected after modprobe usbserial vendor=0x0451 product=0x6060 but wvdialconf not works with this
[08:40] <chelz> roughmouth: lexmark x3650?
[08:40] <amol112> dmesg shows usbserial_generic 4-2:1.0: generic converter detected usb 4-2: generic converter now attached to ttyUSB0
[08:40] <chelz> fatcake: follow this: http://ubuntuguide.net/how-to-restore-grub-2-after-reinstalling-windows-xpvistawin7
[08:40] <wolf89> thx guys!bye bye=)
[08:40] <chelz> roughmouth: depends on your gfx card
[08:41] <amol112> as well ifconfig also not shows detected usb modem
[08:41] <chelz> roughmouth: please talk in the channel. good to hear you got it printing.
[08:41] <fatcake> I think so, and I tried to download the missing file, because it didn't have a problem until i went to restart it and now I can't find the files that were in music and photos.  Is EFI the wrong one?
[08:41] <roughmouth> sory chelz
[08:42] <roughmouth> i have a gfx 260 nvidia card
[08:42] <CrustyBarnacle> Baloe4567: I'll have to try it myself... good luck
[08:43] <chelz> roughmouth: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yd5HoC0VaQM
[08:43] <roughmouth> iil go chek it out
[08:43] <chelz> roughmouth: also for fun: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhMErNsEoZw
[08:44] <player> i want to download the lib files one time ,but how
[08:44] <amol112> chelz, any idea about why modem is getting detected with wvdialconf
[08:44] <ranjb> Hi can anyone help me with a 'grub loading' issue?
[08:45] <almoxarife> ranjb: lost it after update?
[08:46] <chelz> roughmouth: nvidia-settings should set things up pretty well
[08:46] <amani> i can play game on ubuntu or not?
[08:46] <ranjb> I have 2 laptops and on 1 laptop i have successfully installed 9.10 on the other one which is a same brand laptop but slightly higher spec. I can install but once it restarts all I get is 'grub loading' no other message. I have Windows 7 installed already on the laptop. Could this be the cause?
[08:47] <magn3ts> Sigh, is there a way in rhythmbox to get play counts of songs?>
[08:47] <ranjb> I have heard that I have to ensure that grub is installed on the ubuntu partition
[08:47] <chelz> amani: depends on the game. there are lots of games for linux but playing Windows games on linux can get tricky
[08:47] <roughmouth> i get this message when i try to save - Failed to parse existing X config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'!
[08:47] <ranjb> does anyone know how I do this. I was going to download gparted and run it on both laptops and see how each of the disks are setup and partitioned
[08:48] <brando753> is there any voting applications in ubuntu
[08:48] <chelz> ranjb: all you need is an ubuntu livecd. the livecd has parted on it as Partition Editor.
[08:48] <roughmouth> any idea chelz?
[08:48] <amani> game like nfs, hello etc
[08:48] <chelz> ranjb: try #2 here: http://ubuntuguide.net/how-to-restore-grub-2-after-reinstalling-windows-xpvistawin7
[08:49] <ranjb> so by default if i have dual booted the laptop and ubuntu is my second OS install where will it store grub? will it store this on a windows MBR?
[08:50] <chelz> roughmouth: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[08:50] <djdarkman> Hi, is there a way to change the order of the playlist columns in rythmbox?
[08:50] <djdarkman> the current order is very akward to me
[08:50] <chelz> ranjb: grub usually has its files on an ubuntu partition and installs another part to the root of a drive. it's much more reliable to have grub boot with the system rather than anything from microsoft
[08:51] <amani> where i foun the game for ununtu??
[08:51] <ranjb> ok that makes sense, I will have a look at the link you sent
[08:51] <ranjb> thanks
[08:51] <chelz> amani: Applications -> Software Center
[08:52] <chelz> in ubuntu
[08:52] <researcher1> when Im behind the office proxy I cant update.Any help please? While web browsing does not fail for the same repository source.
[08:52] <roughmouth> chelz: what is that suposed to do
[08:52] <chelz> researcher1: that's something to talk to your office IT staff about
[08:52] <tushar> how to change the buttons of the window to right side , its left sided now
[08:52] <chelz> roughmouth: reset xorg.conf so nvidia-settings can edit it
[08:53] <chelz> tushar: lucid help is in #ubuntu+1
[08:53] <roughmouth> chelz: ok ill give that a try
[08:53] <aurilliance> whenever I press ctrl+alt+f7 to come back to the desktop after using a tty shell, my netbook goes into suspend. Any ideas on how to stop this?
[08:53] <tushar> !lucid
[08:54] <chelz> roughmouth: if that doesn't work, this will: "The other thing I found out you can do is delete the xorg.conf file. Then restarting the X session with startx. Doing this will create a brand new xorg.conf file with the absence of not having one."
[08:54] <chelz> aurilliance: what model?
[08:54] <researcher1> I have configure proxy settings to enable access to Internet but update is failing with the message 'Proxy authentication required ". My question is where else apart from Network proxy do i have to authenticate?
[08:54] <aurilliance> gigabyte t1028x netbook, ubuntu 9.10 netbook remix
[08:54] <aurilliance> chelz, ^
[08:55] <CrustyBarnacle> !proxy
[08:56] <nibbler> researcher1: so the proxy needs authentication, did you supply this, or do you just do it with your firefoxß
[08:56] <chelz> researcher1: "Open up your Synaptic package manager (usually as root), go to Settings-> Preference -> Network. Enter your proxy server details like<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and put the proxy server port (usually 8080)."
[08:56] <nibbler> CrustyBarnacle: this is not asked for,i believe ;-)
[08:56] <researcher1> I did with firefox n also did in System-Preferences-Network Proxy
[08:57] <CrustyBarnacle> nibbler: indeed
[08:57] <nibbler> researcher1: sounds like youdidnt do it correctly in synaptic.... check if you did it exactly like chelz said - but issnt it http://user:pass@proxy?
[08:57] <amol112> anyone can tell me how to configure 0451:6060 usb  modem in Linux?
[08:57] <researcher1> nibbles: ok
[08:58] <researcher1> nibbler: this link failed
[08:58] <researcher1> let me correct n report soon
[08:59] <nibbler> researcher1: this is not a link, this is a scheme that needs to be adapted and used as proxy definition
[08:59] <zetheroo> Does Ubuntu have any issues with being installed on an SSD?
[08:59] <Baloe4567> Anybody have some PXE knowledge ? I cant install karmic from PXE it just hangs at initrd.gz loading
[08:59] <amani> tell me some games name??
[08:59] <nibbler> Baloe4567: if you get it to initrd loading i'd say your pxe works fine, maybe the hardware just wont boot with karmic?
[09:00] <CrustyBarnacle> researcher1: http://user:pass@proxy:port
[09:00] <overshard> amani, crawl
[09:00] <Guest3558> exit
[09:01] <Baloe4567> nibbler well it boots the installfor the server CD disk and also lenny/hardy/testing works .. just not karmic and lucis insallers.Also install kamric earlier with a usb stick
[09:02] <nibbler> Baloe4567: strange, did you disable splash screens and quiet modes in grub?
[09:02] <roughmouth> that didnt work
[09:02] <roughmouth> :(
[09:02] <Baloe4567> nibbler if i can even install grub i could .. i cant even get the installer which should be super simpleto acces with the default settings
[09:03] <almoxarife> Baloe4567: what kind of install?
[09:03] <Baloe4567> almoxarife netboot install
[09:04] <fatcake> I can't keep firefox open for more than 30 seconds so that I can read about fixing my problem.
[09:04] <almoxarife> karmic and lucid are grub2, what are the other debian you listed Baloe4567?
[09:06] <amani> my finger print reader not work.....
[09:06] <aurilliance> whenever I press ctrl+alt+f7 to come back to the desktop after using a tty shell, my netbook goes into suspend. Any ideas on how to stop this?
[09:06] <nibbler> fatcake: mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla.old then restart
[09:06] <nibbler> fatcake: restart firefox, that is
[09:06] <Baloe4567> almoxarife Debian stable installed fine, Debian testing installed but i get kernelpanic after install and hardy gets me into the install screen fine.But karmic doesnt give me a install screen.Which is odd because i tried the HD-media one and CD one and those works perfectly only can use them to install
[09:06] <nibbler> Baloe4567: did you use alternate installer?
[09:06] <jastor> someone that knows a graphical filemanager (midnight commander style) that actually MOVES files? and not: copies them and when all the files are copied, deletes them
[09:07] <nibbler> jastor: midnight commander e.g.
[09:07] <Baloe4567> nibbler there is only one netboot installer
[09:07] <nibbler> Baloe4567: ah okay, sorry
[09:07] <Sensiva> Hello, I am using HTTrack, if I close its GUI, it will work in the background??
[09:08] <jastor> nibbler: well i said something like midnight commander ... except htat midnight commander is not what im after since it doesnt move files
[09:08] <ZachK_> Yo
[09:08] <nibbler> jastor: of course it moves files, thats why i recommended it. but pls mind that a real move is only possible when working on the same fs
[09:08] <almoxarife> nautilus moves
[09:09] <jastor> nibbler: midnight commanders idea of how to move a file is rather fcked up ... "hey lets copy the files from A to B .. and when all the files are copied, we delete them from A"
[09:09] <nibbler> jastor: not if you are on the same fs...
[09:09] <jastor> nibbler: its between disks ;)
[09:09] <nibbler> jastor: than how do you think it should be moved, if not copy+delete?
[09:10] <almoxarife> jastor: nautilus has a 'move script'
[09:10] <jastor> nibbler: copy file 1 from A to B, delete file 1 from a .. copy file 2 from A to B, delete file 2......
[09:10] <Baloe4567> Hmmm just tried the pxe on another pc .. it works fine there ... so it's not the installer
[09:10] <amani> ????????
[09:10] <nibbler> jastor: that makes such a big difference.....
[09:10] <jastor> nibbler: instead of copy n to b .. copy next to b .. copy next to b .. when all the files are copied, dlete from a
[09:10] <amol112> hi all,i don't know much modem configuration after search i got running #modprobe usbserial vendor=0x0451 product=0x6060 it detctects as /dev/ttyUSB0 but dont know how to configure it..
[09:10] <jastor> nibbler: yes it does
[09:11] <almoxarife> jastor: sounds like something you might want to put together?
[09:11] <nibbler> jastor: i thinkg you wont find any application that does it differnt from nautilus/mc, they are all "rather *ed up"
[09:12] <jastor> nibbler: whatever moron thought it up like that anyway?
[09:12] <jastor> that instead of deleting the source file after each copy, delete them after all are copied
[09:13] <almoxarife> jastor: you have had way too much caffeine
[09:13] <jastor> almoxarife: nautilus .. isnt that a graphical one?
[09:13] <r43gh4r> hi... i have a Q.. can someone help me?
[09:13] <almoxarife> jastor: yes
[09:13] <mealstrom> nothing wake ups you better then a smell of burning server
[09:14] <jastor> almoxarife: X isnt installed ;)
[09:14] <almoxarife> r43gh4r: ask
[09:15] <syrius> does smbmount give password over network in plaintext?
[09:15] <syrius> or does it encrypt it
[09:16] <shazbotmcnasty> GOD DAMNIT
[09:16] <shazbotmcnasty> passwrd
[09:16] <shazbotmcnasty> omg
[09:16] <nibbler> syrius: encrypt
[09:16] <shazbotmcnasty> I'm sorry
[09:16] <FloodBot3> shazbotmcnasty: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:16] <nibbler> syrius: but sniff it, if you want to know....
[09:16] <shazbotmcnasty> I'll just be going now, I thought i was in a different room.
[09:16] <syrius> it is encrypted
[09:16] <shazbotmcnasty> lol
[09:16] <syrius> hmm
[09:16] <r43gh4r> well... i installed ubuntu on toshiba satellite m100 laptop.... but the problem is that when i log in... it kind of freezes
[09:16] <syrius> how would I sniff it? nibbler
[09:17] <syrius> what tools would be the job for that?
[09:17] <syrius> I never tried it before
[09:17] <syrius> like wired share or something?
[09:17] <syrius> wird shark*
[09:17] <nibbler> syrius: wireshark or just ngrep
[09:17] <jastor> so .. anyone that knows a filemanager that moves files between disks like 99% of all the other does? (nortoncommander,norton commander 95,windows commander, total commander, etc.etc.etc.)
[09:17] <almoxarife> smbmount does plain text password
[09:18] <syrius> do you have link for this? almoxarife
[09:18] <zetheroo>  Does Ubuntu have any issues with being installed on an SSD?
[09:18] <syrius> on some site it says that modern windows doesn't accept plain text
[09:18] <almoxarife> http://linux.die.net/man/8/smbmount
[09:18] <duckwars> does anyone know if there is a media center type program that uses mplayer, or how I can force boxee or xbmc or moovida to use mplayer instead of whatever they use?
[09:18] <Dr_Willis_> jastor:  clarify what you mean
[09:19] <jastor> Dr_Willis_: midnight commander .. it moves files like "copy files from A to B .. when all teh files are copied, remove them from A"
[09:19] <Dr_Willis_> duckwars:  geexbox used mplayer. So i think its latest version 'enna' does also
[09:19] <n3k0rm> my speakers keep popping when playing sounds, especially when sound hasn't been played in a while. Using a fresh install of 64-bit 9.10
[09:19] <amol112> i am now clueless why my usb modem is not getting detected with linux
[09:19] <duckwars> thank you
[09:19] <jastor> Dr_Willis_: about all other filemanagers ive used "copy file 1 from a to b, dlete file 1 from a, copy file 2 from a to b, delete file 2 from , ......."
[09:19] <Dr_Willis_> jastor:  so? that may or may not be good. :) I tend to use mc for console and 'rox' for gui.
[09:20] <almoxarife> amol112: problem exists only after return from suspend?
[09:20] <amol112> almoxarife, no always problem exist
[09:20] <amol112> it got detected by kernel as /dev/ttyUSB0
[09:21] <jastor> Dr_Willis_: whatever its good or not im looking for a filemanager that does it like that
[09:21] <almoxarife> amol112: did it ever work?
[09:21] <amol112> but wvdialconf not detects it
[09:21] <amol112> almoxarife, yes
[09:21] <syrius> almoxarife, where does it say it sends it out in plaintext?
[09:21] <amol112> LED glows
[09:21] <syrius> all I see is this line
[09:21] <syrius> This is preferred over having passwords in plaintext in a shared file, such as /etc/fstab. Be sure to protect any credentials file properly.
[09:21] <syrius> I am not using /etc/fstab
[09:21] <syrius> to auto mount it
[09:22] <jastor> Dr_Willis_: i dont even see why midnight commander would go against the "file manager standards" when it comes to moving files
[09:22] <syrius> nibbler, how would I use ngrep?
[09:22] <zetheroo> Does Ubuntu have any issues with being installed on an SSD?
[09:22] <syrius> for that purpose
[09:22] <jastor> (filemaanger standards in this case would be what nc,nc95,windows commander, total commander etc.etc.etc. use)
[09:23] <fatcake> I'm sorry, I still can't get Firefox to even work.  I didn't quite understand what I was told to do to fix that.
[09:24] <Dr_Willis_> jastor:  its been around longer then most of the other file managers out. and it tried to clone the old 'norton commander' file manager that was out for dos AGES befor that
[09:24] <sreeju> i am new to ubuntu,can anyone tell me how to install packages downloaded from web
[09:24] <Dr_Willis_> sreeju:  what packages? Its best to use teh package manager
[09:24] <jastor> Dr_Willis_: i just mentioned norton commander
[09:25] <sreeju> i mean softwares
[09:25] <anirban> i got broken pak while try to install vlc,     i update the packge list but no luck......help plzz?
[09:25] <Dr_Willis_> sreeju:  yes.. we know you mean software.. what software?
[09:25] <Dr_Willis_> sreeju:  do you mean .deb files or somthign else?
[09:26] <jastor> Dr_Willis_: you just lectured me up on filemanagers :D stating norton commander was the first one ... and yet missed that when i said nc didnt know that nc is norton commander?
[09:26] <sreeju> while iam downloading anything from web they are not giving .deb file
[09:26] <almoxarife> syrius: By default, Samba uses plaintext passwords to authenticate clients who access network resources. Samba also supports the use of LanManager- and NT-encrypted password authentication.rd ????? http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/2717
[09:26] <Dr_Willis_> sreeju:  it all depends on exactly what it is.. and who is doing the packageing.
[09:26] <sreeju> they are giving some tar.bz file etc
[09:26] <Dr_Willis_> sreeju:  thats just a generic 'archive' extension.
[09:27] <Dr_Willis_> sreeju:  so what IS it you are trying to install exactly?
[09:27] <anirban> i got vlc: Depends: vlc-nox (= 1.0.2-1ubuntu2.1) but 1.0.4-1~getdeb1 is to be installed in error
[09:27] <sreeju> ok after extracting iam getting more files
[09:27] <r43gh4r> can anyone hlp me pls
[09:27] <sreeju> what should i do with it to install
[09:27] <Dr_Willis_> anirban:  you got the getdeb repos enabled. and they are confliucting. You may want to  remove it
[09:28] <Dr_Willis_> sreeju:  we cant say.. untill you tell us EXACTLY what it is you are messign with.
[09:28] <timClicks> hi - is the new light theme available anywhere? i would like to try the lucid look and feel without installing the whole beta
[09:28] <almoxarife> anirban: did you try to 'repair' via synaptic?
[09:28] <sreeju> i have down loaded kmplayer from the web and i have to install it
[09:28] <Dr_Willis_> timClicks:  theres theme downloads for that - at various ubuntu news sites. OMGubuntu I think has them. as does that webup8 site
[09:28] <anirban> almoxarife geting same error in syna ..but in gui mode
[09:29] <Baloe4567> almoxarife can grub 2 from previous install block pxe ?
[09:29] <timClicks> Dr_Willis_: ty
[09:29] <jastor> Dr_Willis_: so .. you have no idea then i guess
[09:29] <Dr_Willis_> sreeju:  seeif they got debs. for starters.. and i belive that tool may be avail in some PPA repositories
[09:29] <Baloe4567> almoxarife nvm it works lol
[09:29] <anirban> i use sudo apt-get install vlc
[09:29] <Dr_Willis_> jastor:  i cant even rember what we were talking about. Ive been helping in other channels
[09:30] <jastor> and im damn interested to know when i ask for something OTHER than midnight commander. . i get midnight commander as an answer?
[09:30] <jastor> heh ... youve smoked way too much crack
[09:30] <Dr_Willis_> jastor:  i recall some other console based file managers in the repos. but ive rarely used them
[09:30] <almoxarife> Baloe4567: I know this about grub2, it crashes on wubi installs after updates, there is a fix, I am wondering if the same problem you have is associated with it, the crashes are on wubi installs
[09:31] <sreeju> whatever i am downloading from web is not in .deb format they are some source codes how can i install them
[09:31] <Dr_Willis_> jastor:  theres also numerous 2 pane file managers out like 'gentoo' 'filerunner'  and proberly a dozen others that i cant rember
[09:31] <anirban> Dr_Willis i got it ...i remove vlc-nox  and then try to install vlc againg ..now its woeking
[09:31] <Dr_Willis_> sreeju:  compiling from source is going tobe a rather large undertaking for a linux beginner.
[09:31] <Dr_Willis_> !source
[09:31] <Dr_Willis_> !compile
[09:32] <Dr_Willis_> sreeju:  you would have better luck finding a PPA repoistory for unofficial/new packages
[09:32] <jastor> Dr_Willis_: filerunner is for x
[09:32] <Dr_Willis_> jastor:  its an old 2 pane file manager with GUI written in TCL. :)
[09:32] <sreeju> sorry i didn't get you
[09:32] <Dr_Willis_> madeit very easy to 'tweak'
[09:32] <Dr_Willis_> !ppa
[09:32] <almoxarife> sreeju: I learned how to install from source using 'check-install', much simpler and saner way to do it
[09:33] <jastor> Dr_Willis_: ok .. i only saw it said for X
[09:33] <Dr_Willis_> sreeju:  you may want to search  for whatever it is you are trying to compile and 'ubuntu ppa' and see if there exists a PPA for it.
[09:33] <tushar> how do I use compiz i dont see any effects on my cojmp
[09:33] <Baloe4567> almoxarife apparantly a reset of bios did the trick ...it was bios at fault here
[09:33] <tushar> even thhough i turned on cube desktop and all
[09:33] <sreeju> what is ppa
[09:34] <Dr_Willis_> !ppa  | sreeju
[09:34] <almoxarife> sreeju: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2356 <-- the noob way to do the impossible, hope it helps
[09:34] <jastor> fuck it ill just move one at a time >:P .. but its going to be an pain in the ass

[09:35] <jussi01> !language | jastor
[09:35] <Aciid> is ppa easy to start, if you havent done any packing ever? except bash installers
[09:35] <sreeju> why the websites are not giving .deb file? it is easy to install no
[09:36] <Aciid> sreeju: apt-add-reporsitory ppa:name
[09:36] <Haffe> Because they don't want to support a deb package+
[09:36] <overmind> sreeju: Because there are more distros than ubuntu, and they won't make packages for all distros
[09:36] <almoxarife> sreeju: too many version of linux with too many installers
[09:36] <Lanthes> hello all is there anyone can help me why i cant use the google.com or msn messenger?
[09:37] <tushar> how do i use compiz
[09:37] <sreeju> oh thats why they give source codes right
[09:37] <sreeju> ok how can i run/install them?
[09:37] <Dr_Willis_> sreeju:  one normally dosent just 'download from a web site to install'  thats windows thinking.. its best to learn to use the repositories and the PPA feature of the package manager system
[09:38] <almoxarife> sreeju: did you read up on the link I gave you?
[09:38] <Dr_Willis_> jastor:  wite a shell script :) or use find
[09:38] <n3k0rm> tushar, have you installed compiz?
[09:39] <tushar> yeah its installed
[09:39] <sreeju> sorry i dont know repositories and PPA
[09:39] <tushar> i have an integrated intel gfx card btw
[09:39] <tushar> why isnt 3d enabled even
[09:39] <n3k0rm> tushar, have you installed compizconfig-settings-manager?
[09:39] <Dr_Willis_> sreeju:  thats why ive had the bot give you information on using PPA's like 3 times now.
[09:39] <Dr_Willis_> !ppa
[09:39] <tushar> yeah n3k0rm i have opedned that too now
[09:39] <almoxarife> sreeju: download the current 'ubuntu-tweak' , that's a d/l and it will have lots of apps to pick from
[09:39] <Lanthes> hello all is there anyone can help me why i cant use the google.com or msn messenger?
[09:39] <embrik> to activate the on-screen keboard from login-screen into a gnome session?
[09:39] <jastor> Dr_Willis_: i wouldve used mv ... except that id like to know the transferprocess
[09:39] <n3k0rm> Well, what exactly are you having trouble with, Tushar?
[09:40] <Dr_Willis_> jastor:  i recall some addon/tool that gave cp/move a progress bar.. but i cant recall wher i saw it at
[09:40] <tushar> i need to make my computer like one of those cool compiz
[09:40] <almoxarife> Lanthes: you behind a firewall?

[09:40] <Aciid> jastor: mc has progress bar for move and cp
[09:40] <Lanthes> almoxarife: dont know am I i just fix the wireless problem and now have this problem
[09:40] <jastor> Aciid: I KNOW
[09:41] <fatcake> What is mv?
[09:41] <embrik> tushar: administration, synaptic.... searc for compiz-fusion, install
[09:41] <jastor> BUT MIDNIGHT COMMANDER .. doesnt move files the normal way
[09:41] <duckwars> so I tried enna, but it doesn't work (not exactly sure why), but anyway, are there any other media centers that use mplayer?
[09:41] <almoxarife> Lanthes: you are using the wireless now?
[09:41] <Lanthes> almoxarife: yes very good :)
[09:41] <n3k0rm> @tushar: Well, the effects you're probably looking for and how to install them can be found on this post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=809695

[09:42] <embrik> how can I activate on-screen keyboard in a gnome session, without a keyboard, just using the mouse
[09:42] <almoxarife> Lanthes: then the wireless works, but you can't browse the web?
[09:43] <Dr_Willis_> This silly keyboard has a  big enter key where im used to the | key heh..  i keep miss hitting the | :)
[09:43] <Lanthes> almoxarife: i can see only facebook but cant see google.com or cant open msn messenger nor skype
[09:44] <Lanthes> almoxarife: as you understand im using irc now so im coonnected t internet but cant browse google .com or msn
[09:44] <almoxarife> Lanthes: if you can see face book then the problem is not your wireless or dns, your browser is what?
[09:44] <Amadiro> Good evening. There is some package in the ubuntu repo, which seems slightly out-of-date, and a newer version of the software with security updates was released. Is there some way I can help/notify the downstream devs, for instance by flagging the package out-of-date?
[09:45] <Lanthes> both browse mozilla doing that

[09:50] <Lanthes> almoxarife: dont know how can i check?
[09:51] <nexsja> Dr_Willis_, so i can't suspend either, right?

[09:54] <Bob_Dole> again, is there a way to disable a trackpad in ubuntu 9.04?
[09:55] <twright> maxorator: have you tried pressing ALT+f2 and running the command compiz --replace
[09:55] <Dr_Willis_> Bob_Dole:  i had some settings on my aao to disable it on 'typing'  Or i could use the laptops special key combos
[09:56] <maxorator> oh, seemed to work, the restore lag is back
[09:56] <thingy> Bob_Dole: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=271052&highlight=disable+touchpad+while+typing
[09:57] <Bob_Dole> Dr_Willis_, thingy thanks
[09:57] <twright> maxorator: if you install compiz config settings manager, you can turn down the level of effects
[09:57] <maxorator> actually I tried turning off everything in compiz, lag still there...
[09:57] <almoxarife> Lanthes: I am officially out of ideas, maybe some one else can help

[10:01] <mary__> Hello, I am using evolution and I have setup my gmail account for imap and on the left side it lists my account but the drop down triangle is unresponsive and it will not display my mail by clicking on the shown email address.
[10:01] <maxorator> I don't know, I don't remember when this lag started
[10:01] <mary__> Does anyone have any suggestions?
[10:01] <maxorator> I haven't used ubuntu for a long time, had it on dual boot, just a few days ago I used it and noticed the lag
[10:02] <almoxarife> mary__: did you get to the password prompt?
[10:03] <mary__> well at one point i did and i deleted and tried to setup a new account but since i have set up a new account it has not asked for the password
[10:03] <Ashok> Seveas: no im not able to create tat add user is not wrkin r sth
[10:03] <mary__> it says scanning for new messages and reaches 100% but is still unresponsive
[10:03] <Seveas> Ashok, eh? I don't understand a word of that... try english...
[10:04] <almoxarife> mary__: did you set up the imap  and smtp ports for gmail correctly?
[10:04] <twright> maxorator: if it is a new lag then you might want to try the default driver instead - you can reset it using the command sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and start from there.
[10:04] <Ashok> Seveas: hey i am not able to create from what you said
[10:04] <Seveas> Ashok, what's the error you get?
[10:04] <mary__> almoxarife: i beleive so I just selected gmail then imap, interesting the drop down triangle just responded
[10:05] <Ashok> Seveas: that adduser button  is un sensitive i mean not responding at all
[10:05] <almoxarife> mary__: your gmail account is already setup for imap?

[10:06] <mary__> almoxarife: it appears to be a problem with evolutions gui
[10:06] <maxorator> twright, do I have to restart?
[10:06] <twright> maxorator: yes
[10:06] <Spaceman> how do you show the list of other kernels during the start up?
[10:06] <almoxarife> mary__: nothing against evolution but I gave up on it and installed thunderbird
[10:06] <overburn> anyone?
[10:06] <mary__> the drop down triangle is very touchy, then when it opens and i click on inbox it acts as if i clicked to close the drop down triangle and pulls the list away
[10:07] <Ashok> Seveas: no man there is sth called as click to make chnages
[10:07] <twright> overburn: do you mean connection sharing

[10:11] <almoxarife> Seveas: that works too :)
[10:11] <Dr_Willis_> Ashok:  'sudo adduser billgates'   is one way

[10:17] <artinstartin> Seveas: what do i have to do? recovery mode?
[10:17] <Seveas> artinstartin, or start gnome-panel. Is there anything in you autostart programs that can launch other programs?

Instead of php scripts running they are just offered to you as a download. When I set the server up, I took the LAMP option, so I am not sure how to configure Apache to make php work again. Any hints would be gratefully received.

[10:24] <NetScr1be> kartis ls -r
[10:24] <SalmonSam> is it possible to configure empathy so that when chat windows are closed you don't leave the chat?
[10:24] <b33tfr33kr> HRH_H_Crab, what's up?
[10:24] <Seveas> !pm | penquite
[10:24] <Ashok> Seveas: how to change root password now
[10:24] <Seveas> !pastebin | penquite
[10:25] <NetScr1be> kartis excuse me ls -R
[10:25] <rocket16> Ah! Many Indians are here!
[10:25] <Karti> NetScr1be: Many thanks -
[10:25] <Seveas> Ashok, I think you can do that if you hit the properties button after selecting root, but I'm on lucid an that interface changed considerably so I'm not sure
[10:25] <b33tfr33kr> rocket16, nope, but plenty of cowboys (haha, jk)
[10:26] <Penquite> apologies, what do you mean by pastebin?
[10:26] <rocket16> Good joke, b33tfr33kr
[10:26] <rocket16> Pastebin is an Online Codepasting area
[10:26] <timClicks> Penquite: http://pastebin.be/
[10:26] <overmind> Penquite: If you wanna paste text, instead of pasting and flooding in channel, you can paste text in a web called pastebin, where everyone will be able for read it :)
[10:26] <Seveas> Penquite, ubottu told you a few lines above :)
[10:26] <sqwertle> !paste
[10:26] <rocket16> Where you can paste your Codes
[10:27] <timClicks> Penquite: http://paste.ubuntu.com/ I think also works
[10:27] <HRH_H_Crab> b33tfr33kr: well basically i can no longer boot. the last change i made was installing linux-firmware-nonfree / me-tv. since doing so it wont boot the kernel cant figure out why atm.
[10:27] <NetScr1be> anyone know anything about stopping false errors from palimpsest?
[10:27] <hal> is there a way to move several screenlet widgets at once between workspaces?
[10:28] <rocket16> Anyway, Kubuntu Network Manager is not a mess like Ubuntu 9.10's,
[10:28] <rocket16> So, when will be the Network Manager fixed?
[10:28] <NetScr1be> pastebinit not installed by default (on UNR anyway) use sudo apt-get install pastebinit to install
[10:28] <b33tfr33kr> HRH_H_Crab, yeah, at the very least you'll have to boot off a live cd. where does the boot sequence stop? can you tell?
[10:28] <b33tfr33kr> HRH_H_Crab, you have a live cd?
[10:31] <Penquite> Thanks all, http://paste.ubuntu.com/398253/
[10:31] <sqwertle> I'm curious; in certain channels whenever I try to say something I get "Cannot send to channel". Any idea as to what causes this?
[10:31] <HRH_H_Crab> b33tfr33kr: i have one somewhere.
[10:32] <HRH_H_Crab> atm im removing the dvb card.
[10:32] <HRH_H_Crab> it booted at least once since i installed it but i'll see what happens.
[10:32] <HRH_H_Crab> im sure i have a dvd somewhere
[10:32] <HRH_H_Crab> as for where it stops,
[10:32] <HRH_H_Crab> it seems to stop at 3 different places
[10:32] <Seveas> sqwertle, probably you need to register and identify before you can talk
[10:32] <Seveas> !register | sqwertle
[10:33] <HRH_H_Crab> one is early in the process where i see "[2.353992] Invalid checksum 0018"
[10:33] <Seveas> Penquite, looks like php5 has been disabled: sudo a2enmod php5; sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[10:33] <HRH_H_Crab> or, it does a lot more udev stuff, then goes to fsck and reboots itself right after that (before giving results)
[10:34] <HRH_H_Crab> the third possibility is it will do that, confirm fsck was clean, and then mess around with ntp before rebooting itself.
[10:34] <HRH_H_Crab> :|
[10:34] <Seveas> HRH_H_Crab, looks like dodgy hardware. Boot into memdisk and let it run for a while
[10:35] <HRH_H_Crab> Seveas: ill try that if removing the dvb card doesnt work.
[10:35] <Ashok> Seveas: how to open root account graphically
[10:35] <Milp> is there any option for mount to print out more detailed stuff on how and why something went wrong?
[10:35] <solid_liq> Ashok, don't ;)
[10:35] <b33tfr33kr> HRH_H_Crab, yeah, sounds like you're on the right track with pulling that card.  i agree with the memdisk boot suggestion.
[10:35] <Seveas> Milp, look in /var/log/messages or the output of the dmesg command
[10:35] <Ashok> solid_liq: what
[10:35] <HRH_H_Crab> i did play with memtest for a while,
[10:36] <solid_liq> Ashok, you don't open root account graphically
[10:36] <HRH_H_Crab> but by the time it got to 2% passed i was bored and determined my memory must be 100% rock solid! ;)
[10:36] <Seveas> solid_liq, he means in the account editor :-)
[10:36] <solid_liq> oh
[10:36] <Ashok> solid_liq: why
[10:36] <solid_liq> heh
[10:36] <Seveas> solid_liq, are you on hardy? If so, please help Ashok. I'm on lucid and they changed that thing completely...
[10:37] <Ashok> solid_liq:tell me why man
[10:37] <Ashok> Seveas: tell me how to open root account graphically
[10:38] <Penquite> Seveas, thanks, but it failed with Cannot load /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so into server cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[10:38] <Seveas> Penquite, then php got removed. sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5
[10:39] <Ashok> hello any one tell me how to open root account graphically im new to ubuntu
[10:39] <DaZ> Ashok: you don't want to do this.
[10:39] <Dr_Willis_> Ashok:  for what reason exactly?
[10:40] <b33tfr33kr> Ashok, he meant that you don't log into the graphical interface (gnome) with root. you sudo into it from a terminal
[10:40] <Dr_Willis_> biggest danger to a ubuntu system - is often the users doing things they shouldent be doing
[10:40] <Ashok> DaZ: y
[10:40] <Dr_Willis_> Ashok:  tell us exactly what task you are trying to preform
[10:40] <DaZ> Ashok: because only thing you gain from it is higher probability of crashing your system.
[10:41] <Ashok> Dr_Willis_: ist that possible atleast i want to know im new to ubuntu thats y
[10:41] <DaZ> Ashok: it is possible
[10:41] <b33tfr33kr> Ashok, it was decidedly removed as an option in ubuntu.  you can in, say, debian for example.  but it's too risky.
[10:41] <bazhang> Ashok, not support unsafe in the extreme
[10:41] <Dr_Willis_> Ashok:  use 'gksudo programname'
[10:41] <zetheroo> what is the key combination to hard restart from within Ubuntu?
[10:41] <DaZ> but needs gdm conf. file editing.
[10:41] <Dr_Willis_> Ashok:  if you want to ask a more clear/exacting question - please do so.
[10:41] <sreeju> i have downloaded kmplayer from the web please help to install it
[10:41] <DryGrain> you can open gnome-terminal graphically and sudo from there
[10:41] <DryGrain> does that count
[10:42] <HRH_H_Crab> well... surprise surprise removing the card has got it back to a desktop again, but since i booted once without problems and only ran into issues after installing that firmware package, i wonder. i think ill remove the firmware replace the card and see what happens...
[10:42] <Ashok> Dr_Willis_: fine what is root i am new to ubuntu
[10:42] <b33tfr33kr> HRH_H_Crab, haha, right on
[10:43] <chuchumaolu> how to use xchat
[10:43] <NetScr1be> you can also open a file browser as root
[10:43] <HRH_H_Crab> well, it could just be coincidence. this card has been stuck in a box for a good while maybe it only had one "good" boot in it.
[10:43] <NetScr1be> root = all-powerful superuser
[10:43] <bazhang> chuchumaolu, go to a different channel is /join #channelname
[10:44] <nmvictor> which package provides XVID MPEG 4 decoder and H.260 decoder in ubuntu?
[10:44] <Dr_Willis_> sreeju:  i see a 'kmplayer' repository/ppa  - but why are you even bothering with kmplayer? theres other players you can use.
[10:44] <Dr_Willis_> !root
[10:44] <zetheroo>  what is the key combination to hard restart from within Ubuntu?.
[10:44] <nomad> how all where can i find where to add new gimp brushes?
[10:44] <Some_ux> heya
[10:44] <Dr_Willis_> zetheroo:  alt-ctrl-sysreq-k I think
[10:45] <Dr_Willis_> nomad:  on a per user basis. thers a .gimp dirctory I belive
[10:45] <sreeju> i want to study to install a package downloaded from web
[10:45] <Penquite> Seveas, php5 is now re-installed, and have restarted apache, but I am still getting offered my php scripts to download. Can you think of any other dependencies that I may have broken?
[10:45] <Some_ux> I need some help with my HDDs, Seems like my Raid 1 may have gone kaput. How do i run diagnostics if I can't boot the kernel ?
[10:46] <Dr_Willis_> sreeju:  you got a lot of learning to do.  and proberly 200mb+ of downloads to install befor you can compile from source
[10:46] <b33tfr33kr> Ashok, root is an account that has full file access permissions.  your user account, for example, cannot modify system components for security purposes
[10:46] <NetScr1be> sreeju what's after the. in the package name?
[10:46] <Dr_Willis_> kmplayer is just a very minimal front end to mplayer.
[10:46] <nomad> Dr_Willis_, I am going through finding a bunch from the net and kinda need a "usr,share" or something ,I know I can put them wherever I want but not advanced to do that w/o making system a wreck lol
[10:46] <Seveas> Penquite, run these commands and pastebin the output: dpkg -l '*apache*'; ls -laR /etc/apache; ps aux
[10:46] <sreeju> oh ho
[10:47] <Dr_Willis_> nomad:  when in doubt.. put stuff like thatin your users home. No need to clutter up the whole  system
[10:47] <zetheroo> This laptop screen here keeps blacking out when browsing in Firefox
[10:47] <zetheroo> very odd
[10:47] <zetheroo> the laptop is still on and the wifi is still working .. but the screen is just black
[10:47] <nomad> kk thanks ,then I can direct gimp to it if I remember right,right?
[10:47] <NetScr1be> penquite maybe your browser doesn't have the add-on to handle python scripts?
[10:47] <bazhang> chuchumaolu, next you want to go into preferences and choose how to highlight others; last spoken instead of alphabetical
[10:47] <zetheroo> it only happens when using Firefox
[10:47] <sreeju> the how can i get packages from web?
[10:47] <nmvictor> which package provides XVID MPEG 4 decoder and H.260 decoder in ubuntu?
[10:48] <NetScr1be> penquite browsers offer to download files they don't know how to handle otherwise
[10:48] <zetheroo> Dr_Willis_: not working for me
[10:48] <Dr_Willis_> nomad:  gimp has a setof dirs it keeps such in that it uses
[10:48] <Dr_Willis_> !dontzap
[10:48] <chuchumaolu> first time chat this way
[10:48] <bazhang> chuchumaolu, if you type two or three letters then hit the tab key, it will complete the nickname, and the person can read what you are saying clearly
[10:48] <nomad> I am using something called swiftfox ,it is firefox but made for specific processor architecture and it seems good
[10:48] <Dr_Willis_> nmvictor:  install ubuntu-restricted-extras for starters..
[10:48] <bazhang> chuchumaolu, so for you I type chu <tab> and it becomes chuchumaolu
[10:49] <HRH_H_Crab> b33tfr33kr: removed the firmware and me-tv, rebooted, all good. @_@
[10:49] <Some_ux> How do i run diagnostics on my Raid if I can't boot ?
[10:49] <HRH_H_Crab> oh well.
[10:49] <HRH_H_Crab> (after replacing the card that is)
[10:49] <NetScr1be> Some_ux: boot from liveCD or SysResc
[10:49] <nomad> Dr_Willis, are you familiar with the conduit toolbar making website?
[10:50] <nomad> I have java and flash and I cannot get the media player in the toolbar I made showing up ion ubuntu
[10:50] <Some_ux> Once I boot from the LiveCD, how do i run diagnostics ?
[10:50] <zetheroo> any ideas?
[10:50] <bazhang> chuchumaolu, you also likely want to register your nickname if not done so, and then put the nickname:yourpass in the server field
[10:50] <Penquite> NetScr1be, I thought it would be that the server should be running the script and the browser should not need to know about it, but I am using Namoroka firefox pre-release. Have also tried firefox on a mac and also opera
[10:51] <chuchumaolu> i try what you told me
[10:51] <bazhang> chuchumaolu, try highlighting me  type baz then hit tab key
[10:53] <Penquite> http://paste.ubuntu.com/398264/
[10:53] <chuchumaolu> bazhang, isn't like this time
[10:54] <bazhang> chuchumaolu, nicely done; you may also want to edit your favorite channels, so you join them at startup
[10:54] <ranjan> can any body on the network can help me with fixing the correct display with the battery status on my  hp mini .. it is not giving correct information .. any help would be of great help ......
[10:55] <NetScr1be> how do we stop join/quit messages?
[10:55] <bazhang> chuchumaolu, this is done by choosing network list under Xchat menu item, then hitting edit for Ubuntu (freenode server) ; you type in the channels thus:  #channel1,#channel2,#etc
[10:55] <bazhang> NetScr1be, what client
[10:55] <chuchumaolu> bazhang, how to edit channel
[10:56] <mernilio> greetings fellow friends!
[10:56] <mernilio> of free software.
[10:56] <bazhang> chuchumaolu, if you wish to hide all the joins/parts from the channel, then right click channel name and choose there

[10:58] <bazhang> mernilio, #ubuntu for support ; #ubuntu-offtopic for chat
[10:59] <HRH_H_Crab> b33tfr33kr: even stranger (but lovely) is the fact that i mysteriously now have drivers installed for it.
[10:59] <nmvictor> bazhang: not their
[10:59] <mernilio> Stallman is overrated i think. I do however support him.

[11:34] <nmvictor> i get the massage: eth1 : Could not load ager_sta_fw.bin while system boots and so i cant connect to any network, anyone know what i should do?
[11:34] <dubzii> ^mNotIntelligent: my first guess was something with my display driver but hitting the capslock key doesn't light it up either, so it's not just the display
[11:34] <bazhang> dubzii, as it is lucid, please ask for support in the proper channel
[11:34] <tarelerulz> Is that translation thing for chrome web browser for the Linux version?
[11:35] <^mNotIntelligent> dubzii, i'm pretty sure must be some display driver issue with our specific version of dell model... but dont know much

[11:44] <coachj> thanks
[11:44]  * erUSUL is having a deja vu
[11:44] <nmvictor> erUSUL: so what of the wireless one?
[11:45] <erUSUL> DelphiWorld: do you really need to change permissions of all files there ?
[11:45] <erUSUL> nmvictor: post the entire lspci output on a pastebin

[11:45] <DelphiWorld> erUSUL: i need to connect to it from winnSCP and edit/delete files... but no root access
[11:46] <erUSUL> DelphiWorld: connect via ssh use a terminal editor such as nano ?
[11:46] <nmvictor> erUSUL: thanks, let me get pastebinit first
[11:46] <heatherjm45> how long do you wait for an answer before you just give up on here please
[11:46] <SpiKeCy> so can anyone help?
[11:47] <SpiKeCy> i got a laptop 'Satellite m105-s3004' , and i installed the latest desktop edition of ubuntu, and everything seems to working perfectly except the internet.. i cannot enable my 'atheros' wireless network card, and also the ethernet slot on my laptop seems to not be working either. can anyone help?
[11:48] <erUSUL> SpiKeCy: checked System>Admin>hardware drivers ?
[11:48] <shazbotmcnasty> heatherjm45, as long as you want
[11:48] <shazbotmcnasty> what was your problem?
[11:48] <SpiKeCy> yep.. there doesnt seem to be anything there
[11:48] <shazbotmcnasty> probably something wayyy over my head
[11:48] <paramedicpoms> hi
[11:48] <heatherjm45> need help getting new wireless connection working please
[11:48] <erUSUL> SpiKeCy: if you do « iwconfig » in a terminal do you see a wlan0 ?
[11:48] <Wassa> Here Is the error message, it first says "windows vista loader" i don't have vista and before this I tried to install win7 but it failed and I installed ubuntu instead
[11:48] <SpiKeCy> gimme a second, ill just startup the laptop
[11:49] <shazbotmcnasty> heatherjm45, are you new to ubuntu?
[11:49] <shazbotmcnasty> or linux...
[11:49] <Wassa> When I select it it just returns me to the menu
[11:49] <ALEJO> of which you speak
[11:49] <heatherjm45> loaded it a while ago but dont know much about it
[11:49] <ALEJO> i am spanish
[11:50] <erUSUL> !es | ALEJO
[11:50]  * DelphiWorld is algerian
[11:50] <shazbotmcnasty> heatherjm45, I believe you just go to system>administration>networking - pick your router, put in your ssid and passkey
[11:50] <Wassa> HelP!
[11:50] <DelphiWorld> erUSUL: any way thank you for your suggestion, but why nano? why no vim? vi?
[11:50] <erUSUL> DelphiWorld: is easier; choose whatever you prefer
[11:50] <ALEJO> no matter
[11:50] <SpiKeCy> @erUSUL : it says no wireless extensions
[11:50] <heatherjm45> it is not accepting my passkey, i can get a btopenzone connection going
[11:51] <erUSUL> SpiKeCy: "lspci | grep -i" net ?
[11:51] <shazbotmcnasty> I don't know what btopenzone is
[11:51] <shazbotmcnasty> but if you've got a wireless router you would have to do to that config page and change your passkey
[11:51] <shazbotmcnasty> that is not within ubuntu
[11:51] <SpiKeCy> my bad, there is for wlan0, but there's nothiong for eth0
[11:51] <DelphiWorld> erUSUL: no, you're realy smart, i prefer it in order to by simple and accessible
[11:52] <shazbotmcnasty> also, I need to get to bed before my girlfriend stabs me
[11:52] <erUSUL> DelphiWorld: simple and accessible [11:52] <heatherjm45> if u mean my aadmin password I have changed that on BT
[11:52] <heatherjm45> thanks shazbotmcnasty
[11:52] <erUSUL> SpiKeCy: try "sudo iwlist wlan0 scan"
[11:53] <SpiKeCy> it says : "interface doesn't support scanning : network is down"
[11:53] <shazbotmcnasty> heatherjm45, you should google more - the ubuntu forums will most likely be your biggest help
[11:53] <heatherjm45> anyone had problems when changing wireless router and not able to reconnect to their wireless connection?
[11:53] <SpiKeCy> how can i do the whisper thing btw?
[11:53] <heatherjm45> I thought that was where I was sorry
[11:55] <shazbotmcnasty> heatherjm45, this is a irc support channel, not a in the ubuntu forum
[11:55] <erUSUL> SpiKeCy: sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
[11:55] <shazbotmcnasty> heatherjm45, this is ubuntu forum: http://ubuntuforums.org/
[11:55] <heatherjm45> my bad I thought this was ubuntu forum
[11:56] <SpiKeCy> nope, that wont work either, i get the following error : "SIOCSIFLAGS: Unknown error 132"
[11:56] <inti> hi
[11:57] <inti> how do i prevent the updates window to keep popping up
[11:57] <erUSUL> SpiKeCy: you have wifi disabled via a laptop button
[11:57] <Wassa> Help me!

[11:58] <Wassa> How do I remove grub/install windows bootloader?
[11:58] <SpiKeCy> it says hard blocked yes

[11:59] <DaZ> Wassa: or something simillar if it's not xp.
[11:59] <Wassa> Which one?
[11:59] <SpiKeCy> the switch must be dislocated and stuck to On, when its actually on Yes

[12:04] <Wassa> Not found*
[12:05] <Wassa> But I think I found a way to fix it
[12:05] <erUSUL> SpiKeCy: good now the card should work. do « sudo ifconfig wlan0 up && sudo iwlist wlan0 scan » to test it
[12:05] <Stve> wassa: when in the windows console you get command not found when typing fixmbr?
[12:05] <Wassa> Yes
[12:05] <jrib> Wassa: did you run it from a recovery console after booting from a WINDOWS install disk?
[12:05] <Stve> wassa: what version of windows are you using?
[12:06] <Wassa> Im doing " startup repair" now
[12:06] <SpiKeCy> scanning seems to work now

[12:09] <jrib> gregor_: what is the exact command you ran to install it?
[12:09] <gregor_> i downloaded the .deb file and double clicked it :-)
[12:10] <Wassa> Heelp

[12:11] <Wassa> Grub overwrote my boot records so it won't boot into windows

[12:14] <jrib> Wassa: why did you say "Im not sure that win7 install has a recovery console"?
[12:14] <Wassa> Because im using that disc
[12:14] <jrib> Wassa: you would use your xp disc....
[12:14] <jrib> Wassa: anyway, let's see if we can figure out why grub doesn't boot your windows first.  What happens when you try to boot windows xp

[12:24] <orb01> Hi, I have some problems with my sound on 9.10. I just updated to KDE 4.4 via backports, and initially my sound stopped working. It unmuted some channels, and I get sound in Flash, VLC, Dragon Player and through aplay, but testing my soundcard in System Settings doesn't work, and neither does Amarok.
[12:25] <jrib> wojtek: so now you will stop speaking polish here?
[12:25] <Wasgood> jrib: I'm getting sick of using ubuntu :D
[12:25] <orb01> Amarok error in debug mode is: Cannot find demultiplexer plugin for MRL. I have deleted my catalog.cache file for xine as recommended, but that does not help.
[12:25] <nmvictor> is their ubuntu for swahili?
[12:26]  * khalil walks into the room
[12:26]  * Signal360 waves
[12:26] <ShadeS> nmvictor: isn't that just clicks and whistles?
[12:26] <jrib> Wasgood: what partition is windows installed on?
[12:26] <khalil> Can anyone help?
[12:26] <Time`s_Witness> hum. how to fix sound problems?
[12:26] <Wasgood> jrib: /dev/sda1
[12:26] <orb01> Never mind, it did work. Removing catalog.cache solved my problem for both Amarok and the System Settings testing interface.
[12:26] <arand> !sound | Time`s_Witness

[12:27] <Time`s_Witness> anything else?
[12:27] <arthur_> question run a 32bit or 64bit os?
[12:27] <Wasgood> Also a secondary question, what font does ubuntu use by default?
[12:27] <khalil> Can someone help me with grub2 problems?
[12:27] <overmind> Wasgood: sans and monospace
[12:27] <jrib> Wasgood: add "makeactive" to the windows stanza in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[12:28] <nmvictor> ShadeS: what? my query about ubuntu for swahili?I am a kenyan, dont i have a right to query if my national language is supported in freenode or ubuntu IRCs?
[12:28] <orb01> arthur_: if your hardware is 64-bit then run the 64-bit version of the OS.
