[19:44] <CzarAlex> IntuitiveNipple, just some other references to MOO stuff i have on the box. but nothing cron/task related.
[19:44] <stefania> kelder, also than you.
[19:44] <jryan78> I have a folder setup for people to FTP to and when a file is put into that folder I want a email notification sent to me that a file is there.  Is there a program that will do that for me?
[19:44] <hoonteke> is ubuntu a publicly traded company?
[19:44] <CzarAlex> IntuitiveNipple, back when I set this up, i do recall having to fiddle with the 0 * * 1 stuff though. So I know its cron related.
[19:44] <hoonteke> can I buy stock in it?
[19:44] <BinaryFu> stefania: np at all, happy to help.
[19:44] <IntuitiveNipple> CzarAlex: well, if the fine had that name you suggested, that find command should locate the script
[19:45] <hoonteke> and by ubuntu, I mean canonical of course
[19:45] <phantomcircuit> hoonteke, canonical, im not sure if they are publically traded or not
[19:45] <IntuitiveNipple> CzarAlex: Is it a system task or a user one?
[19:45] <Jampiter> Hi
[19:45] <CzarAlex> IntuitiveNipple, user perhaps.
[19:45] <phantomcircuit> hoonteke, no you cannot
[19:45] <Jampiter> Both Adept and Synaptic are saying I don't have privelages to apply changes
[19:45] <Charles_F> Hi does anyone know what to fix sudoers when I can't get a root terminal?
[19:45] <hog> CzarAlex, if the script in in the local filesystem run find ./ -name <filename> /
[19:45] <phantomcircuit> but if you had a ridiculous amount of money im sure you could approach them to invest in them
[19:45] <Jampiter> Any way to remedy this?
[19:46] <hoonteke> phantomcircuit: k, thankx.  bummer
[19:46] <CzarAlex> hog, I'm trying to find what cron job/task called that script weekly.
[19:46] <IntuitiveNipple> hog: he did, didn't find it apparently. I think the filename is probably not quite what he is remembering :)
[19:46] <bobertdos> Jampiter: Are you a sudoer? (member of the admin group)?
[19:46] <colin_> hi alll
[19:46] <stefania> I've installed the 3d cub effect.... how to show the cube?
[19:46] <IntuitiveNipple> CzarAlex: go into /etc/cron.* directories and check all contents for something that looks familiar
[19:46] <colin_> 9.9.999999999999999999999999999999999999999999
[19:46] <julkaaa_xD> hello xD
[19:46] <IntuitiveNipple> CzarAlex: read the contents of the files to locate the job

[19:47] <CzarAlex> IntuitiveNipple, if it was a system task or a user task, would that change things?

[19:52] <Rinaldi_> hi, anyone got any ideas about the best laptop brand for linux, or a model? I'm looking to spend about £500
[19:52] <bobertdos> Charles_F: Would you mind posting the content of /etc/sudoers on paste.ubuntu.com, please?
[19:52] <Charles_F> the first line is wrong it says passprompt
[19:52] <Charles_F> but I can't get to it to edit it
[19:52] <tobor_> Charles_F: or you could boot to single user mode (requires no password) and reset the root password to whatever you want
[19:52] <Timberwolf5578> Does anyone know how to make AWN automatically start up when you log into Gnome?
[19:53] <bobertdos> Charles_F: There actually is no root password in Ubuntu by default.
[19:53] <Charles_F> I know so why is is asking for one?
[19:53] <Charles_F> tobor how?
[19:53] <tobor_> Charles_F: the sudo dialog is asking fot your user password
[19:53] <gamma-x> charles_f you have to change it, by default ur root is ur password
[19:53] <Charles_F> tobor I know but it doesn't like the password
[19:54] <tobor_> Charles_F: whne you powercyle the system, press the ltter e when you see the grub menu.
[19:54] <hyphenated> Charles_F: if it asks for a password in that mode, it's because somebody set one for root
[19:54] <hyphenated> Charles_F: you'll need to boot with a special kernel line ending in "init=/bin/bash"
[19:54] <tobor_> Charles_F: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/grub-boot-into-single-user-mode/
[19:55] <tobor_> colin its easier to just type "single" at the end of the line
[19:55] <gamma-x> anyone have experience with the app kernelcheck?

I cant log in in normal mode because it hangs while booting, when booting my machine i need to use"ESC" key >"ROOT RECOVERY MODE">"RESUME NORMAL BOOT" to get logged in.It began after ive installed ubuntustudio via synaptic and restarted it uncessfully with this problem. I dont want to Re-Install Ubuntu 8.04.HELP ME.
[20:18] <LinuxGhost> My machine booting stops when here: *Setting Kernel variables.....  *Activacting Swap......  *Checking root file system.....  fsck 1.40.8(13-Mar-2008) /dev/sda1: clean 255014/4702208 files.......
[20:18] <Unbe> Jack_Sparrow: so if I manually edit my xorg.conf the auto-detect won't happen?
[20:19] <Syco54645_work> how can i check my alsa version?
[20:19] <Yeudiel> anyone can help me with the synaptic?
[20:19] <trigpin> Yeudiel,  what wring ?
[20:19] <davertron> Jack_Sparrow: nice, i'll have to check it out
[20:20] <Yeudiel> wring?
[20:20] <davertron> Jack_Sparrow: I have another linux media pc i'm running that only has a pci slot, so i'd like to put something cheap in that too
[20:20] <Jack_Sparrow> davertron they have a half price deal on the 8800.. under $50
[20:20] <trigpin> Yeudiel,  what wrong ? opps typo
[20:20] <davertron> Jack_Sparrow: one of my friends gave me a quadro but i ahve to use a pci-riser to get it to fit in the fanless case i have and that doesn't seem to work :'(
[20:20] <Jack_Sparrow> davertron Ouch, no idea on where to go with that one
[20:20] <davertron> Jack_Sparrow: ooooh nice
[20:21] <Yeudiel> Synaptic error that says to dpkg --configure -a but then it says it is a read only memory
[20:21] <davertron> Jack_Sparrow: yeah i work for a mini-itx company, so we use them for a lot of our mini-itx machines but we've seen issues with these dual-pci risers, i don't think you're supposed to be able to have two pci devices going through one onboard pci slot :)
[20:22] <Jack_Sparrow> davertron that is correct.. without a special driver (windows only)
[20:22] <Yeudiel> then the terminal, synaptic stop working
[20:22] <bobertdos> Yeudiel: That command is to be issued in the terminal using sudo.
[20:22] <Jack_Sparrow> !fixapt
[20:23] <Yeudiel> yup
[20:23] <davertron> yeah, well when i do that i get through post and the ubuntu loading screen but then in the OS the video goes back over to the onboard
[20:23] <Yeudiel> but does nothing
[20:23] <Jack_Sparrow> Yeudiel try the command I just gave
[20:23] <davertron> Jack_Sparrow: I'm using a via board so i have the crappy openchrome drivers and they just don't work that well
[20:24] <r3dd0> http://paste2.org/p/77367 <- when i try to play something
[20:24] <milostrife> anyone know how to make movie playback brighter as it isn't working on totem movie polayer?
[20:24] <r3dd0> pulseaudio output
[20:25] <trigpin> Yeudiel,  did you check for broken packages ?
[20:25] <davertron> Jack_Sparrow: are those cards with the deals agp or pci-express?
[20:25] <sullyva86> firefox crashed then won't start any ideas?
[20:25] <davertron> Jack_Sparrow: having a little trouble finding the ones on the site
[20:25] <Jack_Sparrow> this one is pci-e
[20:25] <davertron> Jack_Sparrow: Maybe i'm too late
[20:26] <davertron> Jack_Sparrow: ahhhh, i only have agp
[20:26] <davertron> Jack_Sparrow: old hardware :)
[20:26] <Jack_Sparrow> davertron the 8800 are on sale today.. I was in the store this am
[20:26] <Yeudiel> cheking now
[20:26] <bobertdos> sullyva86: In a terminal, type pkill firefox-bin
[20:26] <davertron> Jack_Sparrow: I'd have to get it off the site, no frys here in Vermont :'(
[20:27] <Jack_Sparrow> davertron If they are rebating in one store they are probably doing it in more places
[20:27] <Jampiter> Hmm... it would appear GNOME won't play my startup sound because It's too long.. is there a way to remove thsi limit?
[20:27] <cara> has anyone used mkdiskimage?
[20:28] <davertron> Jack_Sparrow: this is all i see on their site http://shop2.frys.com/search?search_type=regular&sqxts=1&query_string=8800&cat=0&submit.x=0&submit.y=0
[20:28] <davertron> Jack_Sparrow: All pci-e
[20:28] <davertron> Jack_Sparrow: oh well
[20:28] <bobertdos> Jampiter: Do you have to play the whole sound? It would be much simpler to shorten the clip.
[20:28] <cara> Im trying to figure out what's the point of calculating cylinders when they're not being used in the example provided in the usbdisk.txt file
[20:28] <davertron> Jack_Sparrow: maybe i can check out tigerdirect or something
[20:29] <Jack_Sparrow> davertron good luck, we are a bit offtopic...  there is a #hardware channel that may have hints on agp cards
[20:29] <bikerbob_> if a pkg in aptitude has a pi in front what does that mean?
[20:29] <Jampiter> bobertdos: I'll try a shorter clip

[20:32] <indrora> bikerbob_ What kind of help?
[20:32] <ozzloy> i am looking for wsdl2ruby what package provides this?
[20:32] <fignuts> when editing xorg.conf, and adding HorizSync, do i enter the entire range the tv supports?
[20:32] <ozzloy> soap4r doesn't
[20:32] <Marcin> can anybody help: ALERT! /dev/mapper/ubuntu-root does not exist.
[20:32] <bobertdos> sullyva86: The terminal freezes? So the instances of firefox refuse to die?
[20:32] <abaddon3k> anyone help me with grainy and choppy playback of streaming video (mostly hulu)?
[20:32] <bikerbob_> indrora: I am running on fbdev right now.. and 640 x 480 and I need to know how to change it? std stuff is not working
[20:32] <ozzloy> or is it not necessary
[20:32] <fignuts> from 480i to 1080p
[20:33] <indrora> bikerbob_ What variant of ubuntu? stock ubuntu you can do sudo displayconfig-gtk and it'll work. As for KDE and XFCE, i dont know
[20:33] <sullyva86> bobertdos: No the terminal never fully opens. You know it just dims like its frozen and never opens all the way its just a dimmed box. I closed firefox in system monitor but trying to restart it doesn't bring it up on the screen just in the list of processes.
[20:33] <bikerbob_> stock ubuntu.. but the standard reconfigs dont work.
[20:33] <bikerbob_> I have tried and tried..  I've tried to press CTRL+ALT+DELETE but this way Gnome is restarted. Is there a way to definitively kill it?
[20:34] <Yeudiel> now my terminal is totally blank
[20:34] <Jack_Sparrow> fignuts Here is an xorg for reference..  http://paste.ubuntu.com/49423/

[20:35] <indrora> from there go CTL-ALT-F2
[20:35] <indrora> login and sudo killall gdm
[20:35] <indrora> as for me, i'm doing what i did on my old install -- going back to 7.10!
[20:35] <ivy_> Hi, I'm very new to Ubuntu (about 20 minutes)
[20:36] <fignuts> haha
[20:36] <ivy_> And my screen resolution is all messed up.  Can anybody help me?

[20:36] <TJ-42> I'm trying to compile the cairo library with glitz support enabled, and I have to compile and install the latest versions of pixman and glitz first.  When I try to make pixman (0.9.6) I get the following error: /usr/lib/libcairo.so: undefined reference to `pixman_format_supported_destination'   What could be the problem?
[20:36] <ivy_> Ah, how's it working for you, fignuts?
[20:36] <fignuts> ivy_: check system<administration<hardware drivers and see if the driver is installed
[20:36] <Yeudiel> does somebody can help me?
[20:36] <fignuts> mine got worse after installing that driver, but i still think i'm on the right path
[20:37] <tactics> I Accidentally removed a thumbdrive before unmounting- how do i unmount it now?
[20:37] <Yeudiel> :-/
[20:37] <ivy_> fignuts:  two drivers are showing, but it doesn't let me enable them
[20:37] <fignuts> odd
[20:37] <fignuts> i can't help you, i'm sorry
[20:37] <fignuts> i'm stuck with 640x480 and no hdmi right now :)
[20:37] <Yeudiel> ok
[20:37] <Marcin> can anybody help me please...?
[20:38] <ivy_> fignuts: It's ok, I'm not sure they're the right drivers anyway.  I went to nvidia.com and am downloading a driver that I *hope* will work.
[20:38] <ivy_> Any ubuntu smarties in here that can help us?
[20:38] <fignuts> ivy: supposedly you shouldn't do that
[20:38] <indrora> Ivy: the only thing i can think of is sudo displayconfig-gtk from a terminal
[20:38] <indrora> configure
[20:38] <bobertdos> Yeudiel: Where do you stand? What's the latest?
[20:38] <tactics> agh someone help please!
[20:38] <fignuts> you should only install it thru the hardware drivers window
[20:38] <Marcin> can anybody help me with my box refusing to boot... please?
[20:39] <abaddon3k> can anyone help me with getting flash video to not be so choppy in hardy?
[20:39] <Yeudiel> an error ocured when installing xubuntu-desktop that disbled the terminal and synaptic too
[20:39] <Sad`Panda> it is possible to get video tuner running on 7.10?
[20:39] <ivy_> fignuts:  oh.  it couldn't open the file anyway.
[20:39] <Sad`Panda> dvb-t or analog
[20:39] <ivy_> indrora:  thx, I'll try that now.
[20:40] <avis> anyone use banshee 1.2.1 and find that playing recommended artists in last.fm doesn't work, wont respawn new songs, if it had to have been interupted at one point ?
[20:41] <ivy_> indrora:  I had already tried that, so far only got it to 1024X768  (I should be on 1200X7800
[20:41] <KrimZon> does anyone know a bandwidth limiter or qos utility for ubuntu?
[20:41] <linux_> \j #ubuntu-es
[20:42] <bobertdos> abaddon3k: flash 9?
[20:42] <indrora> ivy_ then you'll want to learn how to manually configure the /etc/X11/xorg.conf configuration, or see if your monitor is labeled anywhere (manufacturor, check widescreen etc
[20:43] <fignuts> ivy_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[20:43] <fignuts> tho i'm told it's old, i don't know
[20:43] <ompaul> KrimZon, you could use iptables to do it however I don't know what the system setup is or if I would be able to cope with your question perhaps ask the full question on one line and see if anyone here knows
[20:43] <ivy_> Indrora:  I'm on an HP laptop, I'm looking for the specs online.
[20:43] <fignuts> heyyy i got 1080p now!
[20:43] <fignuts> removed the vga cable
[20:44] <indrora> ivy_ then I'd google "linux on (model here)"
[20:44] <indrora> see if theres a posted xorg.conf for it
[20:44] <avis> ivy, i have a hp laptop. its widescreen.  it seems to use 1280x768 on the one i have.  prior to hardy you would adjust resolution using a sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg i think it was
[20:45] <Jack_Sparrow> avis correct for gutsy users
[20:45] <ivy_> indrora: Thanks, trying that now.
[20:46] <reportingsjr> anyone know how I can empty trash from the terminal?
[20:46] <KrimZon> the entire question is that ubuntu has been swamping out bandwidth doing updates and now even http downloads, for ages. but then the updates finished and i googled for a bandwidth limiter, which said to look for a shaper
[20:47] <bobertdos> Jack_Sparrow: I'm getting puzzled by Yeudiel's accumulating Synaptic issues. It sounds like things are getting increasingly worse the more we try to help :p
[20:47] <netdevil> hi there need some help with webcam in hardy
[20:47] <hateball> KrimZon: You can use iprelay or wondershaper, depending on what you want to do
[20:48] <Jack_Sparrow> bobertdos Did he ever do the aptfix  and did he run live and paste his sources list
[20:48] <netdevil> have dell xps 1210 with inbuilt logitech quickcam
[20:48] <avis> reporting you'd delete a file within ~/.local/  and then they are saved within a files directory somewhere in there  rm filename
[20:48] <netdevil> can see the camera output in luvcview only

[20:50] <ivy_> indrora:  can't find xorg.conf when I googled linux and my model.
[20:51] <ivy_> Is there any way to tell it what resolution I want?
[20:51] <netdevil> Jack_Sparrow can u b more specific
[20:51] <Wrinkliez> can someone help me?  I want to get the water effects going, but everytime I try to use it it makes all open windows go blank and icons go away and stuff.

[20:52] <DasEi> problem: how to get rd of broken dazuko  --its blocking my apt!!!
[20:52] <avis> ivy its likely that there is only one supported resolution for your display.  you'd want to find out what it is, then do a sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg that way.  your xorg.conf is located at /etc/X11/xorg.conf so back that up before doing anything something like sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf xorg.conf.bak
[20:52] <DasEi> rid
[20:52] <Cyr4x> I've set everything properly
[20:53] <levon> Hello all, can someone please help me with reconfiguring my .asoundrc file to actually downmix from my onboard 7.1 to stereo. I haven't got the speaker system to support it.
[20:53] <bobertdos> Wrinkliez: It sounds like you don't have compiz configured yet. What video card do you have and are you using restricted drivers?
[20:53] <levon> So most of the dialog is lost
[20:53] <eeeandrew> hi all. I've just installed ubuntu 8.04. I'm having trouble getting the monitor configured so that I can use the hardware keys. Does anyone know where I can find display drivers for a Toshiba Equium L40-10X laptop. Its a 15.4" widescreen. resolution of 1280x800 and 60Hz refresh rate(at least it was on 7.04)
[20:53] <Cyr4x> and phone browser says that gate doesn't response
[20:54] <RyanPrior> Are there any Street Fighter-style fighting games for Ubuntu?
[20:54] <ryan__> What is the keyboard shortcut for the FileBrowser?
[20:54] <bobertdos> DasEi: Is it broken as in unconfigured? Have you tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a?
[20:54] <Jack_Sparrow> eeeandrew Are you running eeeubuntu?
[20:54] <Cyr4x> I've seen such game on getdeb
[20:54] <ivy_> avis:  I'm sorry, in what order do I input those into terminal?
[20:55] <milt15> cyr4x i did that but on windows used mrouter on my machine and gnu toolbox on my phone

[20:55] <reportingsjr> ah, thank you :)
[20:56] <Jack_Sparrow> np  thanks for an easy question

[20:56] <Wrinkliez> does anyone know why the water effect for compiz wont work? i mean it used to but when i reinstalled ubuntu it wont work
[20:56] <Jack_Sparrow> !keys
[20:56] <milt15> do you know how to share my internet connection via wifi
[20:56] <avis> ivy, sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf thats your backup. then do a sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, defaults should be ok for most things, tab to navigate, there should be a check list where you can input your correct resolution.  i'm guessing only one might be supported, so make sure that is right
[20:57] <Charles_F> tobor you there?
[20:57] <DasEi> bobertos:whenever i try to run apt (install or update)its saying: paket dazuko is broken and has to be reinstalled. tried to delete it manually with apt,dpkg,m-a (modul-assist), and I also can't find a working source for it (which is requested for removal -inconsistent package can't be removed) trying dp...  -a now...
[20:57] <eeeandrew> Jack Sparrow: the keys are configured. the monitor doesn't seem to recognise them. According to the screens and graphics under the others tab in the apps menu the display is a generic one. When I selected that it was a Toshiba one it said the drivers weren't installed.
[20:57] <avis> ivy, sorry sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak
[20:57] <Jack_Sparrow> Wrinkliez /j #compiz    has good info
[20:58] <Wrinkliez> thanks man

[21:03] <ivy_> avis: ok thanks, will try.
[21:03] <netdevil> Jack_Sparrow tried the link u provided easycam2 didn't do the trick
[21:04] <Jack_Sparrow> netdevil did you look at the easycam2 list of supported hardware?
[21:04] <unop> xukun, how exactly are you mounting the nfs export?
[21:04] <monster64> hey, does anyone know why mod_evasive doesnt want to work even though the module and configs are loaded? (apache version 2.2.8)
[21:04] <Scunizi> How do I install a program that I have the quicktime source code for?
[21:04] <d_in3v1table> Scunizi: does it have to be from a live cd or can I just do it from the normal installed os?
[21:04] <Jack_Sparrow> !compile > Scunizi
[21:05] <netdevil> it just gave me one option my webcam no list there
[21:05] <DasEi>  Scunizi: tarball ? see !compile
[21:05] <Scunizi> d_in3v1table: if your grub is borked then I assume you can't boot into Ubuntu.. I've found it's better to use the live cd.
[21:05] <Jack_Sparrow> !webcam
[21:05] <Scunizi> Thanks Jack_Sparrow DasEi
[21:05] <ivy_> avis:  sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak did nothing, and when I did the rest of the config, it never asked me for resolution.
[21:06] <demo-> hello, if i transfer a hdd with ubuntu from one computer to another, do i need to update the drivers to the current computer?
[21:06] <xukun> unop, sorry I get that message after I do  sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart  on the nfs server
[21:06] <netdevil> my webcam works fine with luvcview but not with any thing else
[21:06] <DasEi>  Scunizi: if you want to I'll send you an easy howto
[21:07] <Scunizi> DasEi: does it apply to quicktime source's?  great!
[21:07] <netdevil> it's been almost 20 hrs i'm trying to fix it
[21:07] <Jack_Sparrow> netdevil  easycam page used to have a list of supported cams.. I dont see it either
[21:08] <netdevil> yes not there
[21:08] <xukun> unop, any idea?
[21:08] <DasEi> bobertos:whenever i try to run apt (install or update)its saying: paket dazuko is broken and has to be reinstalled. tried to delete it manually with apt,dpkg,m-a (modul-assist), and I also can't find a working source for it (which is requested for removal -inconsistent package can't be removed) trying dp...  -a now...
[21:08] <Jack_Sparrow> netdevil I paid $9 for my cam and it worked out of the box... MOst of the cheapies seem to work
[21:08] <DasEi> bobertos: sry, hit enter
[21:08] <Scunizi> DasEi: xchat downloads typically timeout for some reason on my end.
[21:08] <d_in3v1table> Scunizi: it still starts ubuntu fine, but windows wont boot with it.
[21:08] <netdevil> can't help i hav a inbuilt one works with xp
[21:08] <DasEi>  Scunizi: sending again...
[21:09] <Scunizi> d_in3v1table: do you get the BSOD? or it just errors out?
[21:09] <netdevil> don't won't to go back to xp for such a small thing
[21:09] <Jack_Sparrow> netdevil there is a laptop testing page that has good info.. I however dont have the link
[21:09] <unop> xukun, i'm guessing that you shared a device (mounted at /media/FREECOM) with NFS at some point - but it's perhaps no longer available?
[21:09] <netdevil> hav seen that already
[21:09] <milt15> xukun look for ntfs configuration tool in synaptic
[21:10] <ivy_> Avis, indrora, nothing has worked. :(
[21:10] <BuFF> who knows how to change alt+ctrl+F1 font color ?
[21:10] <BuFF> any ideas ?
[21:10] <unop> xukun, does /media/FREECOM exist?
[21:10] <d_in3v1table> Scunizi: not really BSOD, but its similar i guess. Just a random error message. only happens when using grub. If u disconnect hd with grub and boot windwos hd directly it boots fine
[21:10] <Dustan> anyone work with open office calc?
[21:10] <netdevil> why does ubuntu hav such a poor support for video devices
[21:10] <Dustan> I'm having issues with the quotient function
[21:10] <xukun> unop, yes. /dev/sdc1 on /media/FREECOM type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,allow_other,blksize=4096)
[21:11] <guntbert> Dustan: ask in #openoffice.org
[21:11] <Jack_Sparrow> netdevil It isnt us that has the problem.. They dont provide the drivers or even enough info to have someone write any
[21:11] <neeto> netdevil: What's your specific problem? If you were to ask me, ubuntu has terrific support for video devices
[21:11] <Scunizi> DasEi: nevermind.. I'll check the link Jack_Sparrow gave me and see if it will work on quicktime.. I've compiled in the past (been a while) but wondered if QT source was compiled differently.
[21:11] <unop> xukun, is there an entry for /media/FREECOM in /etc/exports ?
[21:11] <Dustan> =QUOTIENT(O1;O2) where O1 is 3 and O2 is 4, calc gives me a value of 0????
[21:11] <Jack_Sparrow> Dustan Not in here thanks
[21:11] <netdevil> i have a dell xps 1210 webcam not functioning
[21:12] <neeto> Is there some MacGuyver DIY way to get into your car's computer without having to steal a diagnostics terminal from your local oil can henry's?
[21:12] <xukun> milt15, the configuration part is ok. I can mount other directory on server without any problem
[21:12] <Scunizi> d_in3v1table: weird.. I may have the same issue on my laptop.. I just haven't put time into figuring it out.. I thought windows just blew up for some reason..
[21:12] <guntbert> Dustan: ask in #openoffice.org
[21:12] <netdevil> works with luvcview but not with cheese, camorama or xawtv, vlc
[21:12] <unop> xukun, i think milt15 confused NFS with NTFS
[21:12] <netdevil> neeto any ideas
[21:12] <Dustan> ty
[21:12] <Jack_Sparrow> !ot > neeto
[21:13] <netdevil> don't want to disturb Jack_Sparrow
[21:13] <neeto> it may be off topic but it's a very pressing question in my life right now
[21:13] <xukun> unop, yes /media/FREECOM/ <IP_ADDRESS>/24(rw,no_root_squash,async)
[21:13] <milt15> then maybe there is some corrupted data there like the ones with unclean shut down
[21:13] <Jack_Sparrow> neeto This is ubuntu support... try somewhere else
[21:14] <netdevil> Jack_Sparrow can u figure out something
[21:14] <d_in3v1table> Scunizi: did it happen after installing sp1 for vista?
[21:14] <Scunizi> d_in3v1table: no I have xp/home.. maybe with the sp3 update..
[21:15] <unop> xukun, perhaps NFS does not like FUSE mounted volumes? a guess again.  do other exports work properly, if you have any?
[21:15] <xukun> unop, I just did sudo export -a and then I this message now: exportfs: Warning: /media/FREECOM does not support NFS export.
[21:15] <kwyjibo> is there a way to make nautilus auto-align newly created icons to the right, instead of left?
[21:16] <xukun> unop, yes I have one other directory on server, it mount without any problem
[21:16] <bobertdos> !aptoncd > Charles_F
[21:16] <Jack_Sparrow> bobertdos Didnt we point him to that long ago
[21:16] <unop> xukun, try this.  sudo mkdir /media/freecom; sudo mount --bind /media/FREECOM /media/freecom;  # then change the /etc/exports entry to /media/freecom - then  export -a
[21:17] <bobertdos> Jack_Sparrow: Probably, but he asked again in a PM :p
[21:17] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[21:17] <d_in3v1table> Scunizi: hmm, that would eliminate my suspicion of bitlocker
[21:17] <Andeh> Hi
[21:17] <OdnsRvns> how do you cube your desktop
[21:18] <Andeh> Does anyone use iPod with ubuntu here?
[21:18] <milt15> i do
[21:18] <d_in3v1table> Scunizi: back to the my original question, u think its safe to reinstall grub from the installed ubuntu rather than the live cd?
[21:18] <milt15> there is a good prog
[21:18] <Jack_Sparrow> OdnsRvns Install ccsm  sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager Next go to system...pref..advanced desktop effects....  On the first page  put check next to rotate cube and desktop cube.. dbl click general options... up closer to the top...  click on desktop size  and set them to 4, 1 and 1  top to bottom... ctrl+alt+(Left Mouse Button) then move mouse
[21:18] <milt15> gtkpod
[21:18] <sullyva86> Andeh:I use gtkpod
[21:18] <Andeh> ah
[21:18] <Andeh> I use Amarok and Rythmbox
[21:18] <zod21> whats up fellas
[21:18] <Guest48292> Hi, what does it mean is mount respondes with "cant read superblock"
[21:18] <Andeh> However
[21:18] <Scunizi> d_in3v1table: you can try.. if it doesn't work go to the live cd.
[21:18] <Andeh> Everything used to work
[21:18] <Andeh> then i plugged it back into windows VM
[21:18] <Andeh> and itunes deleted half my stuff
[21:19] <Andeh> (lol silly apple)
[21:19] <maxb> Is there an easy way to turn compiz on and off, *without* losing settings made in compizconfig-settings-manager?
[21:19] <tritium> !enter | Andeh
[21:19] <bobertdos> Jack_Sparrow: Ugh, we should have an official law against multiple distro upgrades, :p
[21:19] <maxb> I find that totem fullscreen doesn't work properly with compiz enabled
[21:19] <milt15> sorry
[21:19] <Andeh> and i plugged it back into ubuntu, and put the stuff back. a few days later, amarok couldnt edit the ipod database anymore
[21:19] <levon> Hello again, is there anyone here who can assist me with downmixing 6->2 channels?
[21:19] <Andeh> it could copy over the music but not tell the iPod it was there. Then i tried Rythmbox, it worked perfectly
[21:20] <Andeh> But i was a bit angry, if i wanted to put music, i'd have to get what i wanted saved as a playlist from amarok, import in rythmbox and copy it over
[21:20] <unop> Guest48292,  you are mounting with the wrong filesystem option, the filesystem is corrupt, the partition table is corrupt - depends
[21:20] <Andeh> so i googled it and apparently it will work again if i reformat the ipod for windows
[21:20] <Andeh> which would mean losing all music?
[21:20] <unop> Guest48292, so, how exactly are you mounting this volume?
[21:20] <shpond> hi
[21:20] <Guest48292> Im using mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1
[21:21] <OdnsRvns> is there a way to get desktops on the top and bottom
[21:21] <Guest48292> is theiir something wrong with that command?
[21:21] <Andeh> Cause i thought it would just rebuild the database through iTunes or something, but when it said it was Syncing i got scared and unplugged it
[21:21] <Andeh> the music seems to be there, but does having itunes "format it for windows" really format the drive?
[21:22] <kwyjibo> yes
[21:22] <kwyjibo> format = format
[21:22] <unop> Guest48292, does /dev/hda1 even exist?
[21:22] <Guest48292> unop: I believe so, I'll check
[21:22] <unop> Guest48292, if so, what does this command return?   sudo file -s /dev/hda1
[21:23] <allaun> hello
[21:23] <OdnsRvns> Hello all how do i change the background image behind the cube
[21:24] <xukun> unop, then it says: sudo mkdir /media/freecom; sudo mount --bind /media/FREECOM /media/freecom
[21:24] <xukun> mkdir: cannot create directory `/media/freecom': File exists
[21:25] <Guest48292> unop: Yes it exists, It returns with cannot read due to input output error, is it corrupt?
[21:25] <unop> xukun, ok, use another name (one that doesn't exist already in /media/) -  sudo mkdir /media/something; sudo mount --bind /media/FREECOM /media/something
[21:25] <Guest48292> unop: sorry, its the command that returns the error
[21:25] <unop> Guest48292, i should imagine so yea
[21:25] <nrook_nothere> my disk space usage just ballooned after audacity froze; how can I find and delete non-file stuff that's taking up space?
[21:25] <unop> Guest48292, probably a hardware issue
[21:26] <Guest48292> unop: so that means I cant just format and use it again?
[21:26] <unop> nrook_nothere, you could list the biggest files on the system - and probably find the culprit that way
[21:26] <d_in3v1table> does any1 know why i could be getting Error 15: File not found when typing find /boot/grub/stage1 into grub?
[21:26] <DasEi>  Scunizi: will give you link, is there a readme in the unzpped folder ?  read it...http://pastebin.com/m64d6c034
[21:26] <jb_> hello,, i followed every guide i can find on how to get my wireless working on my eeepc 900 and ubuntu 8.10 ,, The strange thing is when i install the drivers it dosent give me any errors and after the reboot you think it should work but when i do iwconfig it says cant find any wireless extentions
[21:27] <unop> Guest48292, i dunno, i/o errors usually indicate hardware problems
[21:27] <nrook_nothere> er
[21:27] <unop> Guest48292, you could try formatting it again
[21:27] <Guest48292> unop: k thanks\
[21:27] <jb_> here is one of the guides that should work
[21:27] <jb_> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC/Fixes#Wireless
[21:28] <Moose> Does ubuntu have support for TV cards? I mean like... I don't want to install Windows media center :P
[21:28] <nrook> unop: is there a command-line command to do that? I'm trying using it with the GNOME search, but I'm not sure if I'm doing it right
[21:28] <allaun> if the package supports it yes
[21:28] <Andeh> So. I have all my music nicely organised on my iPod after 3 days of nicely organizing it and now iTunes wants to format it.
[21:28] <Andeh> If I don't format it, it won't work with Amarok, and if I do, i lose all the music from it. Any ideas?
[21:28] <d_in3v1table> Moose: did u try mythtv?
[21:29] <unop> nrook,  du -ab ~/ | sort -rn | head -n 25
[21:29] <xukun> unop sorry but I think this command is not ok becouse even after I rm -r /media/freecom it recreates the freecom directory after I run that command and it also gives me the error
[21:29] <nrook> unop: actually, something weird happened when I tried that earlier - I found a huge (~1GB) "core" file, rm'd it... but df didn't suggest I got any space back
[21:29] <Andeh> My idea is to make a new amarok library on my ubuntu partition and copy all the music there, format the ipod and restore it. Would that work?
[21:29] <DasEi> problem:   how to get rd of broken dazuko  --its blocking my apt!!!   tried: -apt remove(purge), dpkg-r,m-a clean, dpkg -r,sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a
[21:30] <unop> nrook, hmm - well, try the command again perhaps
[21:30] <d_in3v1table> does any1 know why i could be getting Error 15: File not found when typing find /boot/grub/stage1 into grub?
[21:30] <unop> !error | xukun
[21:30] <DasEi> Moose: sudo apt-get install kdetv tvtime
[21:30] <Andeh> So, most people here use gtkpod?
[21:31] <Andeh> Any reason I should use it instead of amarok? (not counting that amarok corrupted the db lol)
[21:31] <unop> Andeh, depends - some use rhythmbox
[21:31] <Moose> Thanks.
[21:31] <Andeh> rythmbox couldnt even change ID3 tags on my iPod, lol.
[21:32] <nrook> unop: du -ab ~/ | sort -rn | head -n 25 worked, but it only showed me big files I already knew existed; I tried / instead, and I got a weird "sort: write failed: /tmp/sort0pxe0g: No space left on device" error
[21:33] <xukun> unop, thanks for your help. but I will just leave things for a while
[21:33] <unop> xukun, no worries
[21:33] <unop> nrook, you're running out of space on /tmp
[21:35] <ZeetreX> Hi. how can i make nautilus and gnome wrap long file names?
[21:35] <nrook> unop: does /tmp get its own partition that would let it run out of space separately?
[21:35] <ryan__> How do you make KeyBoard ShortCuts like Oxa1 work?
[21:35] <bobbyd> hi
[21:35] <nrook> unop: df does list an "overflow" filesystem mounted on /tmp
[21:35] <Flare183> !hi | bobbyd
[21:35] <unop> nrook, depends if you have dedicated a separate partition to /tmp
[21:36] <bobbyd> does anyone know if it's possible to move the middle-drag behaviour in Nautilus to the right button?
[21:36] <vak> hi over there
[21:36] <xbxbxb> I'm using linux and mainly gnome and I have an encrypted HDD that I regularly browse through. Is it possible that certain programs (such as nautilus) are storing cached folder/file names or thumbnails of my encrypted disc that may give an attacker useful information about the contents of the disc?
[21:36] <milt15_> hi
[21:36] <ZeetreX> How can i make nautilus and gnome wrap long file names?
[21:36] <creative2bad> anyone in here familiar with ncftp ? how can i get it to use SSL AUTH?
[21:37] <Flare183> ZeetreX: Hold On I"m looking
[21:37] <ZeetreX> Flare183, ty
[21:37] <unop> nrook, hmm - i guess that's because you have run out of space on the device that generally houses /tmp - and as a result the kernel has created a virtual filesystem - probably housed in RAM - i'm not very sure
[21:37]  * vak is crazy enough to Debootstrap from OpenSuSE to Ubuntu8.04 LTS Server Edition (64bit)
[21:37]  * vak seeks  gurus to guide this process
[21:38] <nrook> unop: now that's weird.  is there some way I can clean out /tmp?
[21:38] <Daft_Punk> vak, you are better off asking the question, on one line and someone will help you
[21:38] <unop> nrook, hmm,  rm /tmp/* #probably
[21:39] <nrook> unop: would that do terrible things to whatever I have open at the moment, or would it fail on that stuff?
[21:39] <gogzmer> Whenever a perl script or subversion runs, I am getting warnings about language things. Specifically, perl complains about LANGUAGE and LC_ALL being unset, and says that it is falling back to the standard locale("C")
[21:40] <unop> nrook, it is potentially destructive - but you have to do it if you want to complete your objectives of cleaning out the disk
[21:40] <vak> any1 would like to guide a debootstrap of Ubuntu  from OpenSuSE 10 ? Here are details: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5836547#post5836547
[21:40] <unop> nrook, so, it's best if you close down as many programs now
[21:40] <DasEi> problem on > as its saying for removal I have to reinstall DAZUKO i get the following error: error: capabilities are built-in to the kernel:   you will need to recompile a kernel with capabilities        as a kernel module,  bobertos
[21:40] <Gecko> Hey there. I'm running x86_64, is there any way I can install a .deb file for i386?
[21:40] <Flare183> ZeetreX: ok this might help, but it won't completly answer your problem/question
[21:40] <Flare183> ZeetreX: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/27821
[21:40] <nrook> unop: well, it shouldn't create any problems that would have a life beyond a reboot, should it?
[21:41] <DasEi> Gecko: shall be no prob
[21:41] <Flare183> brb
[21:41] <unop> nrook, not really - but again, close down as many programs for safety's sake
[21:41] <Gecko> DasEi: How? Do I need to --force something?
[21:41] <ZeetreX> Flare183, saw it before, couldn't help
[21:41] <DasEi> Gecko: I never had to, just check if theres no 64-variant
[21:42] <unop> Gecko, it shouldn't work - and you should not try and force anything
[21:42] <unop> !chroot | Gecko
[21:42] <ZeetreX> unop, do u know how can i make gnome to wrap long file names?
[21:42] <vak> Daft_Punk, the question is e.g., how could I extract, say,  5Gb for ubuntu in live OpenSuSE?
[21:42] <unop> ZeetreX, hmm, no - i don't use gnome/nautilus
[21:43] <Gecko> unop: yes, I know what you're saying. This is, however, a proprietary app (amazon.com mp3 downloader), and seeing as x86_64 should run i386 as long as I have the apropriate i386 libraries, I should be able to do it, right?
[21:43] <trigpin> my connection is at 1 mb/s while laptop is at 54 mb/ s any ideas what might be wrong?
[21:43] <Daft_Punk> vak, i dont know, i was just telling you to ask the question on 1 line, that way you have a better chance of someone helping you :p
[21:43] <unop> Gecko, errm, probably but then again, most probably not - it would be safer to build a basic 32bit chroot and install your .deb within it
[21:44] <Jack_Sparrow> trigpin Perhaps something like this might be worth a try..  Networking: rt2500pci .. Speed issue: "force" the speed with sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M to get decent speed (by default i get 1MB/s)
[21:44] <Flare183> ZeetreX: Well, its not possible them
[21:44] <Flare183> then*
[21:45] <trigpin> Jack_Sparrow,  ok will try thanks
[21:46] <trigpin> Jack_Sparrow,  but it works fine on other ntworks
[21:46] <Jack_Sparrow> trigpin Please let me know if it works for you and what card/chipset you are using.. also if It doesnt work.. ty
[21:46] <nrook> unop: /tmp is pretty much all directories; there's nothing terrible about deleting those (beyond "be careful with recursive rm"), right?
[21:46] <wiehan> I need help desperately, I've been using ubuntu for ages and never before had it given me such headaches as today- after an ordinary reboot (I haven't installed anything) my screen resolution was suddenly 640x480 (very low)!, I tried to set it in the "screen resolution" thing, but there was no higher options, I then unchecked the latest nvidia drivers in "hardware manager" and checked it again (and it downloaded the latest drivers,
[21:46] <wiehan> again!), still to no avail, I then downloaded nvidia-xserver-settings, but also to no avail, I am using an onboard nvidia graphics card (7050 something), and my resolution is pathetic at the moment - it was perfect before!!!!!
[21:47] <unop> nrook, it should be safe to remove them all - again, subject to processes not having open files on /tmp
[21:47] <DasEi> how can i remove a broken package ?
[21:48] <yassine> hi everyoen
[21:48] <yassine> my xen "boxes" was all running just fine after a sudden switching off of the hosting machine i have one virtual box which does not want to start anymore and drops the following message: http://rafb.net/p/KouH7Y25.html any idea related to this?
[21:48] <unop> DasEi, first fix the broken package states  sudo aptitude install   - then once done, remove the package you want to remove
[21:49] <nrook> unop: well, I'm on gnome, so, of course, there are millions of mysterious processes open - is there an easy way to get default ubuntu to boot to a command line?
[21:49] <unop> nrook, sure, it's the recovery mode - choose that option from the grub screen

[21:50] <wiehan> I need help desperately, I've been using ubuntu for ages and never before had it given me such headaches as today- after an ordinary reboot (I haven't installed anything) my screen resolution was suddenly 640x480 (very low)!, I tried to set it in the "screen resolution" thing, but there was no higher options, I then unchecked the latest nvidia drivers in "hardware manager" and checked it again (and it downloaded the latest drivers,
[21:50] <wiehan> again!), still to no avail, I then downloaded nvidia-xserver-settings, but also to no avail, I am using an onboard nvidia graphics card (7050 something), and my resolution is pathetic at the moment - it was perfect before!!!!!
[21:50] <Jack_Sparrow> Hrvatski1 What os are you running
[21:50] <Hrvatski1> can anyone help me install beryl??
[21:50] <DasEi> problem on > as its saying for removal I have to reinstall DAZUKO i get the following error: error: capabilities are built-in to the kernel:   you will need to recompile a kernel with capabilities        as a kernel module,  unop
[21:50] <Jack_Sparrow> Hrvatski1 Please hold down the repeating
[21:50] <Hrvatski1> i have the latest ubuntu, what does os mean anyway?
[21:50] <Hrvatski1> ok
[21:50] <Hrvatski1> im a complete linux noob
[21:50] <Jack_Sparrow> !compiz
[21:51] <nrook> unop: I'll tell you how it goes :)
[21:51] <Jack_Sparrow> !beryl
[21:51] <unop> DasEi,  ok.   let's deal with this time at a time.  what does this command give you, use the pastebin.   sudo aptitude install -f
[21:51] <billiejoex> I'm sorry. I'd have to kill the X server but every time I do CTRL+ALT+DELETE Gnome is restarted. Is there a way to definitively kill Gnome and switch to a shell environment only?
[21:52] <DasEi> wiehan: backup xorg.conf, also look for a suitable existing backup,  have a look in /var/log/xorg.o.log, install displayconfig-gtk n run it
[21:52] <kwyjibo> ubottu didn't explain what beryl -used- to be
[21:52] <unop> billiejoex,  sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop
[21:52] <wiehan> DasEi thanks, I'll try that
[21:52] <unop> kwyjibo, it isn't important
[21:53] <steph_> hi
[21:53] <Hrvatski1> i used to have ubuntu a year ago and had no problem using beryl but i cant insall it now
[21:53] <kevin_> why can't I add I add more than one "SUPER + Button" keyboard shortcut -- when I try I keep getting error message saying "The shortcut "Super L" is already used for:
[21:53] <kevin_>  "Toggle window on all workspaces"
[21:53] <steph_> does someone know how to create a wireless LAN ?
[21:53] <Alfarin> dumb question... well, maybe...  how do I recursively set all files under a certain driectory w/ one permission (IE: 666) and all folders under the same directory w/ another permission (IE: 777)?
[21:53] <kelder> Hrvatski1: beryl is now included as compizfusion
[21:53] <unop> Hrvatski1, didn't you read what ubottu said - beryl is dead.
[21:53] <billiejoex> unop: it says "[OK]" but Gnome keeps being alive
[21:53] <steph_> Alfarin, try -r option ?
[21:53] <Hrvatski1> i didnt understand it
[21:53] <Alfarin> steph_, I tried -r, but it changes both folder and files
[21:54] <billiejoex> damn... this Gnome is immortal... there's no way to kill it :)
[21:54] <unop> billiejoex,  hmm.  maybe,   sudo /etc/init.d/?dm stop
[21:54] <bobertdos> !install > Charles_F
[21:54] <Hrvatski1> kelder: how can i use that thing?
[21:54] <billiejoex> unop: same thing
[21:54] <unop> billiejoex, sudo telinit 1
[21:54] <DasEi>  sudo aptitude install -f ,unop, sry for german, but I thank for a new trace
[21:55] <Jack_Sparrow> Hrvatski1 If you have ubuntu latest or even gutsy, you have effects.. There is no more beryl in Ubuntu, has not been for quite some time
[21:55] <Hrvatski1> kelder: i want to use the nice looking emerald themes and the spinning cube, can i do that with compiz-fusion?
[21:55] <billiejoex> unop: nothing
[21:55] <vak> How to turn RAID1 Swap partition into RAID1 usable partition? (swapoff -a and then??)
[21:55] <kelder> Hrvatski1: install a graphics driver that supports hardware acceleration - go to appearances - maybe install sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager   for more settings
[21:55] <DasEi> http://pastebin.com/f2a9debe4 ,unop
[21:55] <billiejoex> as I said Gnome is immortal -.-
[21:55] <unop> billiejoex, your system is misbehaving
[21:55] <Jack_Sparrow> Hrvatski1 Yes
[21:56] <erUSUL> vak: format the partition to an usable filesystem like ext3
[21:56] <vak> erUSUL, I have TWO partitions :)
[21:57] <vak> it is a RAID
[21:57] <DavidCanarias> Hi everyone. Being a relative newbie to Linux Hardy my computer seems to be running a little slow. Do I need to do a disc cleanup. Any help on which program I can use. Thanks
[21:57] <erUSUL> vak: so they are not raid1 yet.
[21:57] <DasEi> unop: I will get me a coffe and then accept the suggestion...unless someones shouting  no!!!
[21:57] <FatBoy_> Has this been a continuing problem with this type of network card?  I've been having horable network performance with Ubuntu 8.04 with my Realtek 8139 network card.. trying to google for a solution isn't comming up with any clear answers.
[21:57] <erUSUL> !raid | vak
[21:58] <vak> erUSUL, RAID1 Software
[21:58] <Jack_Sparrow> FatBoy_  Perhaps something like this might be worth a try..  It did for the rt2500pci .. Speed issue: "force" the speed with sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M to get decent speed (by default i get 1MB/s)
[21:58] <nrook> unop: well, when I rebooted and went into recovery mode, /tmp/ was empty :)
[21:58] <unop> DasEi, it doesn't mention anything about DAZUKO there
[21:58] <unop> nrook, yes /tmp is cleared every boot
[21:58] <erUSUL> vak: bios raid? i do not get what is your current situation... you have two separate swap partitions and want to make a raid1 array with them ?
[21:59] <nrook> unop: in any case, it seems that everything is now fine (df is not being weird, and neither is anyone else) - thank you for your help!
[21:59] <unop> nrook, yw :)
[21:59] <nrook> unop: ...ah.
[21:59] <DasEi> unop:hm, but i can't reinstall it as its requested for a removal...apt in whole (updates/other installations) isn't working, too
[21:59] <vak> erUSUL, I have to identical HDD, both are seen in fdisk: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5836547
[22:00] <unop> DasEi,  dpkg -l | grep -i DAZUKO
[22:00] <DasEi>   you will need to recompile a kernel with capabilities <last arball, trying suggested...,unop
[22:00] <vak> erUSUL, and I going to use swap partition to turn my OpenSuSE installation into Ubuntu
[22:01] <unop> DasEi, I am not sure what you mean by that
[22:02] <FatBoy_> I don't use wireless.. it's a wired lan.. and most of the time.. the speed I get is like.. double the speed of a 56k modem.. and I have a 10meg download on my internet.. oddly enough I do get busts of speed.. And.. when in WIn XP.. everything is fine..
[22:03] <sebastian__> hi guys i have some big problems here, my cpu is constantly at 97 % and i dont know whats causing it
[22:03] <sebastian__> even when i log out its loading
[22:04] <erUSUL> vak: so you want to turn the two swap partitions into a raid1 array?
[22:04] <Whitor> sebastian__,  what does system-monitor say is taking the cpu cycles ?
[22:04] <milostrife> anyone know how to sort brightness problems in ubuntu have my screen brightness turned to full but when i watch films it's still really dark?
[22:04] <vak> erUSUL, yes.
[22:04] <vak> erUSUL, would you mean it is a bad idea?
[22:04] <sebastian__> Whitor: i looked at it but nothing as taking that mutch
[22:04] <belkinhelp2> hey, how do i do a speaker test?
[22:05] <DavidCanarias> Can anyone advise me if it's necessary to do a disc clean up at any stage????
[22:05] <Whitor> milostrife, I've seen this before. There is a fix
[22:05] <erUSUL> vak: mdadm -C /dev/md1 --level=raid1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/hda1 /dev/hdc1  <<< that would be the command i guess ...
[22:05] <sebastian__> Whitor: the one that is taking the most cpu usage is my system monitor and it just uses 13
[22:05] <sebastian__> %
[22:05] <Whitor> sebastian__, where are you seeing that 97% is in use ?
[22:05] <milostrife> Whitor, where bouts can i find and get the fix? :)
[22:05] <vak> erUSUL, thanks gonna try it soon
[22:05] <sebastian__> in the system monitor resources
[22:06] <DasEi> unop, still same, dazuko must be reinstalled, but can't find archive .. doing another paste
[22:06] <Whitor> milostrife, I'm trying to think back to when I had this issue
[22:06] <sebastian__> Whitor: in the system monitor resources
[22:06] <milostrife> Whitor, okies
[22:06] <erUSUL> vak: dunno if it is a good idea or not that's for you to ponder
[22:06] <Alfarin> sebastian__, ssh in, type top and hit enter, see what's running w/ high cpu
[22:06] <vak> i see
[22:06] <Alfarin> er... forget ssh in, just start terminal, lol :X
[22:06] <Alfarin> too used to working w/ server remotely :X
[22:07] <DasEi> http://pastebin.com/m6a68e0e ,unop
[22:07] <sebastian__> Alfarin: the Root is
[22:07] <Alfarin> what process?
[22:07] <sebastian__> Alfarin: sorry the xorg
[22:08] <DasEi>  DavidCanarias: corrupt FS ?>e2fsck (watch up !!)   deleting old files ?  see : man rm
[22:08] <Whitor> milostrife, If you open the Totem Movie Player and open Edit/Preferences, in the Display tab you can reset the color balance to defaults. Some process must have set mine quite dark, and resetting them restored everything to normal. Does that help?
[22:08] <sparr_w> Are there any services like GoToMyPC or LogMeIn that work from a windows client to a linux target?  I need remote desktop access of the client-server-client variety.  I cannot initiate a connection to either end, so [anything over] [reverse] ssh is not an option.  I cannot create network adapters on the windows end, so LogMeIn Hamachi won't work.
[22:08] <Alfarin> xorg...  only thing that rings a bell from my experience when when I messed up and installed xwin server or something when I was trying to get compiz fusion working w/ an outdated tutorial a while back.... only resolution to that for me was to uninstall the xserver thing it recommended.
[22:09] <sebastian__> Alfarin: can i kill the process or is it critical?
[22:09] <LordC> hey guys
[22:09] <LordC> I have the dumbest problem, here
[22:09] <bobertdos> sparr_w: putty, and for more information........
[22:09] <milostrife> Whitor, no sorry i've tried it has no effect what so ever :(
[22:09] <bobertdos> !ssh > sparr_w
[22:09] <DasEi> !ask > LordC
[22:09] <Whitor> milostrife, thats ok ... it was an off the cuff thought
[22:09] <kevin_> why can't I add I add more than one "SUPER + Button" keyboard shortcut -- when I try I keep getting error message saying "The shortcut "Super L" is already used for:
[22:09] <kevin_>  "Toggle window on all workspaces"
[22:09] <LordC> sorry typing it up
[22:10] <milostrife> Whitor,  okies lol
[22:10] <sparr_w> thanks for only reading half my question bobertdos, got any other useless advice?
[22:10] <no_more_Win_to_W> anybody knows how to make the Ipod nano work in ubuntu or mint?
[22:10] <LordC> I was about to enter a directory in nautilus by double clicking it, but my mouse jerked. I assumed the dir was dragged into another dir, but I've done locate in term, and tried nautilus search, but nothing shows up. Its also not in the Wastebasket
[22:10] <Alfarin> sebastian__, do not kill xorg, or else you'll lose your xwindows
[22:10] <DasEi> unop: I'll try to solve the apt-f now...
[22:10] <sebastian__> Alfarin: but whats wrong with it?
[22:10] <kevin_> no_more_Win_to_W, mine works fine with Rhythmbox Muisc Player
[22:10] <LordC> Just wondering wth could have happened lol. I thought maybe it was Cut, but there's nothing in the Paste clipboard
[22:10] <sebastian__> Alfarin: it worked fine before untill now
[22:11] <Alfarin> something you've installed must've been mis-configured or mis-configured xorg some how... were you trying to install anything just before this happened?
[22:11] <bobertdos> sparr_w: Ah, my apologies, I'm slightly sleep deprived.
[22:11] <mib_q47xpf> LordC locate uses a database which does not update instantly
[22:11] <mib_q47xpf> try find
[22:11] <LordC> ah ok
[22:11] <ceo4eva> ;(
[22:11] <kevin_> bobertdos, get some sleep
[22:12] <ceo4eva> lol
[22:12] <DasEi> unop: 3 pakets removed, no change.....
[22:12] <sebastian__> Alfarin: is it a way to see the tree of the process to see what is causing it?
[22:12] <Whitor> milostrife, what X window manager are you using ?
[22:12] <no_more_Win_to_W> ohh i'm sorry, i typed nano instead of touch... the ipod touch
[22:12] <Whitor> Metacity or Compiz ?
 ohh i'm sorry, i typed nano instead of touch... the ipod touch
[22:13] <milostrife> Whitor, do you mean wine? i've got the latest one on here but i barly use it as i dont really know how to configure it
[22:13] <Alfarin> sebastian__,  do you have htop installed?  though, I don't know if xorg have any child processes... :X
[22:13] <ompaul> no_more_Win_to_W, ask wherever the mint people have their channel we don't do mint support thanks ;-) they have their own stuff
[22:13] <Whitor> nope... I meant the window manager... not Windows(tm)
[22:13] <bobertdos> kevin_: See, this is why I love helping in this channel, everyone looks out for each other :D
[22:14] <DasEi> is there an archive for dazuko ?
[22:14] <sebastian__> Alfarin: no im installing it now, i see on the internet that many has the same problem
[22:14] <Whitor> milostrife, does this occur in multiple players ?
[22:14] <DasEi> !dazuko
[22:14] <Whitor> milostrife, what video card do you have ?
[22:15] <DavidCanarias> Is it necessary with Ubuntu Hardy to do a disc clean up /defragmentation anytime??
[22:15] <kevin_> no_more_Win_to_W, have you tried google?
[22:15] <quaal> how do i make nautilus windows not pop up all over the place whenever i plug in my usb hub and it automounts all the usb drives
[22:15] <mib_q47xpf> !defrag
[22:16] <unop> DasEi, sudo dpkg -P dazuko dazuko-source
 yeah but nothing yet
[22:16] <kelder> quaal: nautilus > edit > preferences > media > never prompt or start programs on media insertion
[22:16] <kevin_> no_more_Win_to_W, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone

[22:20] <Pushnell> Hey all, noob Q (haven't run *nix on my desktop for a few years.)  Default xorg.conf Device only says Configured Video Device.  Is my actual config stored elsewhere / how can I find out what driver I'm running?
[22:20] <milostrife> Whitor, hmmm
[22:20] <Whitor> milostrife, but, disregarding audio, how does video look in your other players ?

[22:20] <DCPom> what are you sending as the argument?
[22:20] <milostrife> Whitor, same as in totem dark and barly watchable unless im sitting bout a foot from my monitor
[22:21] <LordC> mEck0, you could format it with gParted
[22:21] <erUSUL> mEck0: use gparted fdformat is only for disquettes
[22:21] <mib_q47xpf> Pushnell look at the Xorg log file (/var/log/Xorg.session or something like that)
[22:21] <mEck0> erUSUL: ok so is it dont even possible to format a usb memory from the terminal?
[22:21] <mEck0> LordC: okay
[22:21] <unop> ceo4eva, only frustration makes you want to shoot yourself, so you are probably frustrated yet laughing your behind off - that's not normal - unless you find ubuntu really amusing and that makes you want to shoot yourself, either way - the commentary belongs in #ubuntu-offtopic
[22:21] <DasEi> unop: this problem really is a supergoodie, isnt it ? same : http://pastebin.com/m45866e0d,  all from an not installing tarball, oo

[22:28] <Slart> yay, cookies
[22:28] <NativeAngels> how do you remove a delete a folder and its contents from a shell
[22:28] <NativeAngels> whats the command

[22:28] <teleyinex> LordC, I have checked that, the problem is with podsleuth
[22:28] <NativeAngels> thanks
[22:28] <sullyva86> any way to schedule tasks with the gui in ubuntu?
[22:28] <LordC> The file was in /home/user/.Trash which is different to the actual Wastebasket. lol. Thanks mib_q47xpf and Slart  for the help. That's saved me hours...
[22:29] <sexcopter> hi, is there a command-line program i can use to search a directory? just a filename search is fine...
[22:29] <magnetron> sexcopter, "locate"
[22:29] <unop> !info gcrontab | sullyva86
[22:29] <ceo4eva> Anyone know why i hear random noises every now and then?
[22:30] <punk3r> how to i force stop a process ?
[22:30] <sexcopter> magnetron: i've used slocate before, i'm not sure how to use it to search just within a directory, do you know how?
[22:30] <fignuts> is there a way to make ubuntu never ask for a password?
[22:30] <unop> sexcopter, find directory/ -iname '*word*'
[22:30] <fignuts> !password
[22:30] <Slart> sexcopter: find is nice once you get to know it =)
[22:30] <LordC> ceo4eva, does it sound like interfearance?
[22:30] <erUSUL> punk3r: kill -9 pid_of_process

[22:30] <Slart> sexcopter: and very very very useful
[22:30] <mib_q47xpf> :)
[22:30] <ceo4eva> it sounds like " da na na"
[22:30] <sexcopter> Slart: unop: thanks, I'll have a look
[22:30] <unop> fignuts, what password? the login password?
[22:30] <magnetron> fignuts, first thing you should do is to enable "automatic login"

[22:31] <Slart> ceo4eva: does it occur when you do certain stuff.. run the processor hard, use the graphics card or something like that
[22:31] <unop> DasEi, let's have a look at dazuko.postrm
[22:31] <unop> DasEi, and the .prerm too
[22:32] <Slart> ceo4eva: my graphics card creates some kind of buzz when doing fancy graphics.. and my on board soundcard does some weird low volume hums depending on cpu activitity
[22:32] <ceo4eva> It just sound even when i do nothing. It's sorta like the "new message sound" but quite longer.
[22:33] <LordC> ceo4eva, you don't have any email notification applets running do you?
[22:33] <Blaenk> how do I solve the 'Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)' problem again?
[22:33] <LordC> Blaenk, close synaptic before trying to use apt
[22:33] <ceo4eva> I have the pidgin open, but no one has sent me any messages
[22:34] <LordC> ceo4eva, is pidgin setup to check for mail?
[22:34] <Blaenk> LordC: I'm doing everything through ssh, synaptic isn't running
[22:34] <ceo4eva> My first time using it. So i have no idea.
[22:35] <LordC> go to manage accounts, check your accounts for mail checking
[22:35] <Slart> Blaenk: have you google for the error message?
[22:35] <Blaenk> Slart: of course, they all say what LordC said
[22:35] <LordC> Blaenk, you checked 'ps aux' to see if apt is already being used?
[22:35] <Blaenk> I remember there used to be an aptitude command
[22:35] <Blaenk> I already did LordC
[22:36] <unop> !aptfix | Blaenk
[22:36] <Blaenk> there we go
[22:36] <Blaenk> though I don't think a front-end crashed considering that I'm doing everything through ssh
[22:36] <Blaenk> but I'll try it anyways
[22:36] <DasEi> http://pastebin.com/f6e442fb9, reading it, too
[22:36] <Blaenk> by the way I got that error after doing sudo apt-get update
[22:36] <unop> Blaenk,  command line utils can crash too - or be cancelled with ctrl+c etc
[22:36] <Blaenk> there we go everything is fine now
[22:37] <bobertdos> The package managers all apparently convened today and said, "Let's make everyone's day miserable!"
[22:37] <DasEi> dazu.prerm  : http://pastebin.com/f27fd91be  ,unop
[22:39] <unop> DasEi, where did you get this dazuko thing from?  it's a horribly written program
[22:40] <DasEi> unop: looks like a suse > yast
[22:40] <unop> DasEi, edit the .postrm file and place this command on line #2.  exit 0
[22:40] <unop> DasEi, save the file and then try.  sudo dpkg -P --force-all dazuko
[22:41] <quaal> kelder, that seemed to work. thanks
[22:41] <unop> DasEi, you could also do the same with the .prerm #though it should not be needed if i understood the german error message right :)
[22:41] <gnu_d> Hi when I login for the first time in gdm after a boot then I see something like a failsafe mode i.e the background and xterm nothing else and it's frozen, to resolve it I login in tty1 and I do sudo /etc/init.d/network stop then I can start Gnome, what to do ?
[22:41] <kelder> quaal: np glad it did
[22:41] <milostrife> anoyone know how to solve the issue of no sound in vlc player?
[22:42] <gnu_d> And why when Debconf needs graphical config wiith a wizard always the window frozes ?
[22:42] <dany_21a> milostrife: look at the "messages"
[22:43] <milostrife> dany_21a, ???
[22:44] <dany_21a> milostrife: somewhere in the menu of VLC is a entry called "messages" (depening on skin/frontend)
[22:44] <DasEi> #%if 1020 > 820  to exit 0, right ?,  unop
[22:44] <unop> DasEi, that works - but i meant to put 'exit 0' before that line - so move this line down, etc
[22:44] <DasEi> #%if 1020 > 820  to exit #0, right ?,  unop (sry)
[22:45] <DasEi> k, unop
[22:45] <gnu_d> Hey, please someone to help about the failing logins, cause I need to return the harddisk to my friend (fixed :)).
[22:46] <dsousa89> does anyone here use boxee?
[22:46] <chilli0> nop
[22:46] <dany_21a> gnu_d: login at a TTY or graphical? (gdm/kdm/...)
[22:46] <Centinti> I need help
[22:46] <gnu_d> dany_21a: in GDM
[22:46] <chilli0> with what Cent
[22:46] <Centinti> can we use windows applications on ubuntu?
[22:47] <chilli0> under wine some yeh
[22:47] <gnu_d> dany_21a: then Gnome is starting, but I see xterm
[22:47] <dany_21a> what happens, gnu_d
[22:47] <Centinti> Like what
[22:47] <chilli0> well
[22:47] <chilli0> most
[22:47] <chilli0> what do u wanna run under it?
[22:47] <Centinti> Ok.
[22:47] <gnu_d> dany_21a: then I do the network stop and it works smooth
[22:47] <Centinti> Well I dont know
[22:47] <chilli0> some games work but a few dont
[22:47] <Centinti> I just ordered Ubuntu Server
[22:47] <Centinti> for my server
[22:47] <chilli0> Wow works i hear
[22:47] <DasEi> unop: want a cookie ? coffee ? warm water ? prob 80% solved, rest i should figure out now  a big THANK YOU !
[22:47] <dany_21a> gnu_d: check the "sessions" - menu (in gdm, befor loging in)
[22:47] <Centinti> I'm thinking about installing ubuntu on my laptop also
[22:48] <gnu_d> dany_21a: I'm on it
[22:48] <sexcopter> hi, i have another question. i'm installing something from source, and it looks as if it'll land up in /usr/local/ unless i change the PREFIX. It also looks like everything else in ubuntu is in /usr/, so I'm wondering if there's any harm in just letting it go to /usr/local/, or if I should point it to /usr/?
[22:48] <dany_21a> gnu_d: you stop the network in that xterm? and than gnome starts?!
[22:48] <chilli0> Centinti:  go to wine webie and look there for what it can and cant run
[22:48] <Centinti> If some programs dont work, I can make my own programs but still
[22:48] <unop> DasEi, you can thank me by not installing something like that again :)
[22:48] <chilli0> Centinti:  Are u a programewr?
[22:48] <gnu_d> dany_21a: no, I kill the  X server.
[22:48] <Centinti> yes i am a programmer
[22:48] <Centinti> also a web designer and coder
[22:48] <chilli0> cool
[22:48] <Centinti> and graphic designer
[22:49] <chilli0> i do small programs with python
[22:49] <chilli0> but thats all
[22:49] <gnu_d> dany_21a: killing X server, going in a tty1, network stop, going back to gdm, login  in, succses.
[22:49] <Centinti> yeah thats good.
[22:49] <Centinti> I dont think i've done a lot with python
[22:49] <chilli0> ^^
[22:49] <CokeNCode> hey guys
[22:49] <chilli0> what laguage u use?
[22:49] <chilli0> hello CokeNCode
[22:49] <tritium> !offtopic | CokeNCode, chilli0
[22:49] <Centinti> C++, C#, VB6, VB.NEt
[22:49] <gnu_d> dany_21a: so, do I must disable network manager in Sessions ?
[22:49] <chilli0> cool
[22:49] <dany_21a> gnu_d: have you checked the gdm logfile? /var/log/gdm/:0.log
[22:50] <Centinti> yuppers
[22:50] <CokeNCode> whenever I copy a file to my mp3 player, it goes on but with only read permissions, so it's got a lock on it. I think have to manually change the permissions. I want the files to go on open by default. How do I do this?
[22:50] <chilli0> k sorry tritium
[22:50] <gnu_d> dany_21a: just a second
[22:50] <Centinti> but I'm doing a little bit of research on ubuntu before I decide to install it on my lapto
[22:50] <tritium> chilli0: no problem, buddy :)
[22:50] <dany_21a> gnu_d: wanted just to be sure, that you havent selected "rescue mode" (ie. this starts just a xterm)
[22:50] <gnu_d> dany_21a: I know that
[22:50] <dany_21a> ok
[22:51] <maco> how many little month-preview calendars should show up on the left in evolution?
[22:51] <tritium> maco: you can adjust it
[22:51] <gnu_d> dany_21a: I can't see any problems in the log
[22:51] <gnu_d> dany_21a: just brightness warning or something.
[22:52] <dany_21a> gnu_d try to remove all network-related panel-applications from the gnome-panel
[22:52] <maco> tritium: how? it's suddenly showing 2 when it only ever showed 1 before
[22:52] <gnu_d> dany_21a: There is only the default one.
[22:53] <tritium> maco: drag the separator bar
[22:53] <dany_21a> gnu_d: which one?
[22:53] <gnu_d> dany_21a: nm-applet
[22:53] <maco> tritium: OH.  well that's interesting...would've expected it to just get taller.  thanks
[22:54] <CokeNCode> so, can anyone answer my question... sorry i took so long to actually write it ... i was trying to figure it out myself
[22:54] <dany_21a> tried to remove it? gnu_d
[22:54] <gnu_d> dany_21a: well I need it to set connections
[22:54] <tritium> maco: :)
[22:54] <CokeNCode> oh hang on
[22:54] <bobertdos> CokeNCode: In the terminal, does your player appear when you do: sudo mount?
[22:54] <dany_21a> gnu_d: but try to remove it, so you can triage your problem :)
[22:54] <CokeNCode> i see the problem, i'm copying straight from a cd ... which is of course write only
[22:54] <gnu_d> dany_21a: else I need to open terminal each time, not that is hard, but I need to set it right for a use for a mortal.
[22:55] <CokeNCode> so, it's copying the same permissions
[22:55] <gnu_d> :D
[22:55] <maco> tritium: thank you
[22:55] <CokeNCode> hmmm, can i fix this ?
[22:55] <tritium> maco: any time
[22:55] <jimcooncat> I'm having a timeout problem with dhcpd3 when netboot installing. The initial installer loads fine, but times out the second time it goes to get a dhcp answer. It's sporadic, sometimes restarting dhcpd3 helps but not always. Anyone else know about this?
[22:57] <SilverStreak> I'm having trouble getting kismet to work with my Atheros-based wireless card. I've told kismet to use source madwifi_ag, but it returns an error stating that ath0 cannot accept madwifi-ng controls, and furthermore get_mode does not return errors, and the program dies shortly afterwords
[22:57] <bobertdos> CokeNCode: Well, if your songs are all coming from read-only media, there's not going to be a wonderful way to change that. Of course, the fastest thing to do is to use the terminal and chmod to recursively change permissions on all the files at once.
[22:57] <Sk8rdude> does anyone know a way to samba share inside hidden folders (eg: inside the .wine folder)
[22:58] <aar> Hi, I'm trying to come up with a good way of generating a disk image and backing it up (so I can restore the entire OS from scratch in case of disaster). How hould I go about doing this? Should I generate the image using a Live CD? rsync from the OS while
[22:58] <bobertdos> !info partimage > aar
[22:58] <lucax> aar: remastersys
[22:59] <aar> bobertdos, lucax thanks!
[22:59] <jimcooncat> Sk8rdude: maybe you could make a non-hidden symbolic link to it -- but Samba would need to follow it. not sure what the default is
[23:00] <Sk8rdude> im having problems getting samba to follow a sym link
[23:00] <Sk8rdude> tried it already :p
[23:00] <CokeNCode> thanks bobertdos ... makes sense ... was hoping there was a way to force it to copy with full permissions by default
[23:00] <zenwryly> A basic hole in my *nix knowledge, when is it safe to do 'someprogram <foo.txt >foo.txt', that is where the standard output is redirected to the same file as standard input is taken from?  Never?  always?  Sometimes?  If sometimes, what are the conditions?
[23:00] <bbt1> hello. i'd like to connect 2 pc's x gateway (huawei) any help?
[23:00] <max__> If someone could help me with my boot configurations I'd really appreciate it...I have three OS's installed and I cannot for the life of me get them to boot correctly
[23:01] <jimcooncat> Sk8rdude: then perhaps some fuse filesystem would work
[23:01] <Necrosan> Is there any ubuntu ps3 iso with working wifi?
[23:01] <iter> zenwryly: I would not recommend that practice in general
[23:01] <Sk8rdude> mount the folder somewhere else?
[23:01] <zenwryly> iter: do you know anything of the particulars?
[23:02] <jimcooncat> Sk8rdude: sure. you could use sshfs, but I would think there would be something simpler
[23:02] <Sk8rdude> hmm
[23:02] <iter> zenwryly: if you know exactly what you are doing it's ok but if there are questions as to what's going to happen use another file
[23:02] <jaakkome> Is there a significant performance benefit in using the ext2 filesystem over ext3? (I'm installing on a 128mb / 400MHz system)
[23:03] <Hrvatski1> what is the best torrent program for ubuntu?
[23:03] <Sk8rdude> Hrvatski1: what do you want out of your torrent client?
[23:03] <bobertdos> CokeNCode: I have one idea, but I'm not sure it would work out the way I'm thinking.
[23:03] <magnetron> !best | Hrvatski1
[23:03] <iter> rtorrent
[23:03] <Hrvatski1> just the usual
[23:03] <Hrvatski1> i mean something reliable and small
[23:03] <Ademan> anyone know if anyone out there is hosting a repository of nightly firefox 3.1 builds? (or if backports contains anything significantly newer than 3.0)
[23:03] <Sk8rdude> ok
[23:03] <Sk8rdude> well deluge is pretty good
[23:03] <EvilDaemon> I like Transmission, but I haven't tried others.
[23:03] <zenwryly> iter: well I'm wondering what the specifics are or where I can learn about them
[23:04] <iter> zenwryly: it's entirely dependent on your someprogram
[23:04] <aar> bobertdos, should I run partimage from a live cd on an umounted drive, or is it safe to generate the image from an active (i.e. mounted) partition for backup purposes?
[23:04] <iter> however I can think of a lot of bad conditions when reading from and simultaneously writing to the same file
[23:05] <Hrvatski1> thanks
[23:05] <bobertdos> aar: Definitely from a live session, definitely not safe to do it on a mounted partition...
[23:05] <aar> bobertdos, ok thanks
[23:05] <Unbe> Hmm.  Is there a way to get my monitor's refresh rates for xorg.conf from my currently running install?
[23:06] <zenwryly> iter: how so, what is it about someprogram that might cause problems?  What internal affect this?  What might the problems be?  Where might I find documentation?
[23:06] <adri_> ola
[23:06] <Unbe> alo
[23:07] <jimcooncat> zenwryly: I would think it would depend on the filesystem. Don't try with FAT32!
[23:08] <zenwryly> jimcooncat: hmm, ok, thats a good lead
[23:08] <iter> zenwryly: your question is very broad, but as I interpret it you are asking "why can't I read from and simultaneously write to the same file" -- there are plenty of potential pitfalls in doing this but again it just depends on how the app in particular handles (or doesn't) this case
[23:08] <jimcooncat> zenwryly: best bet is to output to a temp file, then replace your original with the tempfile
[23:08] <sparr_w> magnetron: !best only applies if there is more than one application to perform the task in question.  or even one, sadly :(
[23:09] <dizzey1> Im trying to start an application on my secondary screen with "DISPLAY=:1 xterm" but no sucsess have enabeld tcp connections in gdm and run xhos+ but still no luck any ideas
[23:09] <zenwryly> jimcooncat: yeah, I know, I have just always wondered what the factors are behind it.
[23:09] <magnetron> sparr_w, keep your ubuntu rants in #debian , please
[23:09] <DasE1> unop: did you get my thank ?
[23:10] <unop> DasE1, errm, i guess so yea - you're welcome anyway (just as long as you stay away from dirty software)
[23:10] <unop> :)
[23:10] <DasE1> lol
[23:11] <jimcooncat> zenwryly: I would think that would be somewhere in the filesystem, and the kernel's support for it. Type of journaling used, for instance may cause or relieve the contention.
[23:11] <carandraug> !wifi > carandraug
[23:11] <iter> zenwryly: try this: 'touch t; echo 1 >> t; echo 2 >> t; cat t'
[23:11] <the__don> hi i want help make a board
[23:11] <the__don> like a with micro chips
[23:11] <iter> zenwryly: then, try 'cat <t >t' and see what it does to t
[23:11] <zenwryly> iter: cool, thanks
[23:12] <the__don> any one knows any think about ok make a board for taping?
[23:12] <zenwryly> iter: empty :)
[23:12] <mlaci> hi guys! it seems like the 2.6.24-19-generic in hardy only sees 2G RAM out of 4G. why is that? what kernel should i use?
[23:13] <casaBLANKa> hi. i just installed ubuntu (am running on live cd right now) on my USB external HD but whenever i try to load from rEFIt it just gets stuck on the black screen with a blinking white line. any suggestions?
[23:13] <nix0r> Guys any1 know why my screen freeze, when i login in ubuntu ?
[23:13] <zenwryly> iter: so on the most basic commands, its destructive, very informative, thansk
[23:13] <fwaokda> if I'm running a program in terminal for testing purposes how can i END it without having to close out the terminal?
[23:13] <iter> zenwryly: no prob
[23:13] <nix0r> no1?:(
[23:13] <ceil420> fwaokda, ctrl+c usually does it
[23:13] <DasE1>  fwaokda: press ctrl-c
[23:13] <stuporglue> When I use genisoimage to make a DVD, OSX can't see any files on the disk (though the disk mounts fine). I'm using the same command I used in Edgy, Feisty and Gutsy. Any ideas?
[23:14] <milostrife> anyone know how to increase the brightness of movie playback ?
[23:14] <ceil420> milostrife, i usually just raise my gamma, because i'm lazy :x
[23:14] <casaBLANKa> anybody?
[23:14] <sobersabre> hi guys.
[23:14] <ceil420> milostrife, that's "xgamma -gamma 1.8" in a terminal, if you wanna try it
[23:14] <ceil420> (1.0 is normal)
[23:15] <mlaci> milostrife: you can do it easily with mplayer by modifying its config file, but i don't know in other players
[23:15] <sobersabre> I want to somehow authenticate my users against active directory's LDAP service.
[23:15] <fwaokda> ceil420, DasE1 , thanks
[23:15] <ceil420> mlaci, how? :x
[23:15] <milostrife> ceil420, i've tried that with vlc it just crashes or plays really slow and in totem no matter what i do it's still dark :S
[23:15] <sobersabre> I have heard that at some point I may have a problem with having .login, .profiles files loaded properly, because the home dir may have be problematic while logging in.
[23:15] <milostrife> mlaci, lol im not that confident with things like that atm moment
[23:16] <sobersabre> Is it yet another urban legend, and I simply need to make sure that pam is setting up things in the right order, or is there indeed a real problem ?
[23:16] <zack1403> hey guys, all of a sudden my sound is cutting out.  when this happens i cant even open windows like volume controls or a console. any ideas what that would be?
[23:16] <ceil420> milostrife, cp ~/.mplayer/mplayer.conf ~/.mplayer/mplayer.conf_BACKUP
[23:16] <ceil420> milostrife, if you break something, just restore it
[23:17] <milostrife> i've tried changing it in multimedia systems slector and nothing has changed
[23:17] <milostrife> ceil420, ok could you talk me through it step by step please?
[23:17] <Arfyness> /msg ubottu etiquette
[23:17] <Arfyness> /msg ubottu etiquette
[23:17] <casaBLANKa> i'm having troubles booting up on my freshly installed ubuntu. msg me if you want to help. it'll be much appreciated
[23:17] <ceil420> milostrife, that command will just back up your mplayer.conf file so that you can change the original without fear of messing up mplayer
[23:18] <mlaci> ceil420, milostrife, put brigthness=5 in a new line of ~/.mplayer/config
[23:18] <ceil420> milostrife, i don't know the syntax of the conf file
[23:18] <nix0r> Guys any1 know why my screen freeze, when i login in ubuntu ?
[23:18] <ceil420> mlaci, oh, it uses config by default? in debian, i have both :x wasn't sure which it used
[23:18] <ceil420> (cheers)
[23:18] <memeemeee> am I voiced?
[23:18] <memeemeee> i guess so
[23:18] <mEck0> does 1440 in the end of this command: mkfs -t ext2     dizzey1    -m 0 /dev/fd0H1440 1440 mean nr of blocks to be used   dreamedge  for the file system? or am I wrong?
[23:19] <Unbe> memeemeee: Yes.  :P
[23:19] <ceil420> memeemeee, you don't need to be voiced to talk in here. only when channelmode m is set
[23:19] <milostrife> ceil420,  mlaci  im confused now lol i have no idea where to find files you've specified? :S im that much of a noob lol
[23:19] <memeemeee> anyone feel like helping me decide which hardware to buy?
[23:19] <fignuts> sure
[23:19] <ceil420> milostrife, ~/.mplayer/config
[23:19] <memeemeee> I am a new (very amped) ubuntu user
[23:19] <unop> memeemeee, that's offtopic
[23:19] <fignuts> lay off the coffee
[23:19] <NickRead> unop: not necessarily
[23:19] <ceil420> or /home/milostrife/.mplayer/config
[23:19] <ceil420> or ${HOME}/.mplayer/config
[23:20] <unop> NickRead, you're welcome to chat about this in #ubuntu-offtopic
[23:20] <NickRead> unop: If they want to know what hardware does(n't) work with Ubuntu, then that's fine
[23:20] <scribawf> Any Linux Distro suggestions to install on a old IBM Thinkpad @ 700mhz w/(128m ram) 20gb HD ?
[23:20] <Unbe> Does anybody know if there's a way to get the horizontal/vertical refresh rates from a running Xubuntu systerm?
[23:20] <Unbe> (Systerm being fancy-talk for system.)
[23:20] <memeemeee> that's what i want NickRead
[23:20] <unop> mEck0, i'm surprised if that command even works
[23:20] <fignuts> oh wait i don't want to help, i thought it was in the mythtv channel and we'd talk home theater
[23:20] <milostrife> ceil420, cant find it in milostrife folder?:S
[23:21] <ceil420> Unbe, is there an xvidtune program in xubuntu repos?
[23:21] <NickRead> memeemeee: Have a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/
[23:21] <ceil420> i just discovered that program on my system today
[23:21] <memeemeee> I have had a bit of trouble with the ATI driver on my Presario M2000
[23:21] <ceil420> milostrife, your home folder
[23:21] <milostrife> yeah cant seem to find it
[23:21] <ceil420> milostrife, echo $HOME
[23:21] <memeemeee> I want to be sure if the ubuntu community recommends a different video card
[23:22] <mib_w5377z> Hi
[23:22] <NickRead> memeemeee: Ubuntu doesn't make recommendations like that.
[23:22] <Unbe> ceil420: Sweet.  It gives me a modeline--I'd thought those were no longer common practice?
[23:22] <memeemeee> I'm happy to move to another channel if need be unop
[23:22] <ceil420> Unbe, *shrug* i just glanced at the program earlier
[23:22] <ceil420> Unbe, had you asked yesterday, i wouldn't've had an answer for you :p
[23:22] <unop> memeemeee, it would be better - this channel is quite busy
[23:23] <memeemeee> where then?
[23:23] <Unbe> ceil420: Hehe.  Thanks anyway--movement in the right direction.  :)
[23:23] <ceil420> np :)
[23:23] <unop> memeemeee, #ubuntu-offtopic - you can invite NickRead in too
[23:23] <milostrife> ceil420, sorry not getting what you mean at all ?:S:(
[23:23] <zeelot> hey guys, came to you yesterday with an svn issue, figured out the problem, my GUI svn clients (yes all of them) dont show me a login prompt....anyone know why or how I can reset it to display a login prompt?
[23:23] <mib_w5377z> Hey boys my ubuntu don't want to detect my nvidia 9600gt ;(
[23:24] <louchewidlin> does anyone where to order more than one cd to give to others ????
[23:24] <ceil420> memeemeee, people in ##hardware might be able to help you, but they may be more about Windows and gaming. i don't pay much attention in there to be honest
[23:24] <DuKeS> can anyone tell me how to get to the GDM settings? when i boot into ubuntu the login window (where i input my password) is waaay off screen. i cant even see what i'm typing for username and password...i need to be able to specify the resolution i want for the login window is that's in any way possible
[23:24] <unop> louchewidlin, i believe you can enter that persons address details on the shipit webpage
[23:25] <unop> louchewidlin, the amount of CDs you get as one person are limited - quite obviously
[23:25] <ceil420> milostrife, do you have a terminal window open?
[23:25] <mib_w5377z> DuKeS tri to get in text mode (ctrl+alt+F1) then tipe, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop , after this sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[23:25] <Rindae> a good mediaplayer?
[23:25] <louchewidlin> unop: there are to give to the libery lol
[23:26] <ceil420> Rindae, mplayer
[23:26] <unop> louchewidlin, but it's ever so easy to clone a CD or write an ISO - the cost of CDs nowadays is minimal and ubuntu prefers you do that unless you really can't.
[23:26] <casaBLANKa> having trouble booting Linux from rEFIt on an intel mac. msg me if your interested on making me happy. :)
[23:26] <unop> louchewidlin, but it costs money to have CDs made - and you have to respect that
[23:26] <louchewidlin> in now laterrrrrrr
[23:26] <ceil420> louclkj
[23:26] <ceil420> bah
[23:27] <DuKeS> mib_w5377z: will typing that first command make my screen go all black? lol cuz if it does i might need to write down those commands on a piece of paper:P
[23:27] <mib_w5377z> yes you have to write  them :D
[23:27] <DuKeS> ok..brb
[23:27] <bbt1> hello, i'd like to connect 2 pcs x gateway . any help?
[23:28] <ubernissen> Question, any Howto on auto cpu freq when on battery for Ubuntu 8.04.1 AMD64 on Lenovo T61?
[23:28] <Rindae> ceil420, for music
[23:28] <bobertdos> bbt1: Is that shorthand for 2 PC's through a router?
[23:29] <Bladedsha> DCC SEND "startkeylogger" 0 0 0 0
[23:29] <bbt1> its trough a gateway (huawei)
[23:30] <bbt1> trough a gateway (huawei)
[23:30] <bobertdos> bbt1: oh yeah, that, everyone seems kinda tied up right now; I'm not sure we'll be very helpful.
[23:30] <Athenon_> Anybody know about this DCC SEND "startkeylogger" 0 0 0    thing?
[23:32] <brandan_> Hey does anyone know of a Application for Ubuntu that will display a icon that can blink on my desktop to show when my hard drive is reading/writing? I can't seem to hook up my hard drive light on my tower
[23:32] <DuKeS> nope that didnt help with the gdm login screen
[23:33] <EagleScreen> i ma setting up a FTP server using vsftd, now anonymous  remote users  can connect, but they cannot find any file in the root folder
[23:33] <brandan_> my computer slows down at times, i'm trying to figure out if its my hard drive(s) lagging behind or not...
[23:33] <Arfyness> brandan_: check out the krell suite: search your package manager (synaptic, or something like it) for "krell"
[23:33] <DuKeS> is there any way to specify the resolution i want for the login screen window? it's waaaay off center i cant see nothing but the background
[23:34] <Arfyness> brandan_: also you can add a system monitor utility to your gnome panel (if you use gnome)
[23:35] <brandan_> how do I do that, I can't find krell anywhere in Synaptic
[23:35] <brandan_> It's just not there...
[23:36] <dr_willis> gkrellm perhaps brandan_
[23:36] <dr_willis> !find gkrellm
[23:37] <sp0k34> austin eh
[23:37] <bobertdos> brandan_: Yeah, I was just about to do what dr_willis did. Keep in mind that very frequently generic Linux packages are under specific names, varying from distro to distro.
[23:38] <dr_willis> gkrellm - has been its name under every disrto  ive seen. :) theres also that conky program that can show lots of things
[23:38] <unitlar> Hi, Im am an total newbie with ubuntu, but I have a major issue, can someone help me
[23:38] <bobertdos> unitlar: Go ahead and ask.
[23:39] <DuKeS> help with login window anyone? i want it to be displayed at a certain resolution, as it is right now i can't see anything i type for username + password
[23:39] <dashnu> !empathy
[23:39] <unitlar> okay, I installed it, and it ran perfectly, then I updatet everything at rebootet, now I see the loading bar, and it shuts down, leaving me with a promt
[23:39] <zeelot> please someone help me...no svn clients on ubuntu 64bit 8.04 ever ask for login info I just get a 403 permission denied right away I need this to be fixed or I cant work!! anyone have any idea???
[23:40] <dashnu> Does anyone have Empathy working with MSN ?
[23:40] <Myrtti> zeelot: you are 100% sure you've got the password and everything correctly
[23:40] <zeelot> it doesnt ask for one
[23:40] <euxneks> unitlar there is something wrong with your Xorg configuration, check the Xorg logs
[23:40] <bobertdos> unitlar: a ttyl login prompt?
[23:40] <dashnu> I have 2.23.92 and it wont connect me
[23:41] <zeelot> Myrtti: someone my svn client decides to skip login and try to commit without
[23:41] <unitlar> how do I do this?
[23:41] <zeelot> somehow*
[23:41] <euxneks> unitlar, are you familiar with the command line?
[23:41] <unitlar> like the dos promt?
[23:41] <euxneks> unitlar, yes, similar
[23:42] <euxneks> unitlar, did you install anything recently?
[23:42] <Myrtti> zeelot: I suggest you try the commandline svn client
[23:42] <unitlar> can´t say, that I have a lot of experience with command line. I just updatet everything, that I could
[23:43] <unitlar> I tried to run it in safe mode, but it jumped out also
[23:43] <sanguisdex> zeelot: what svn clent do you use?
[23:43] <zeelot> sanguisdex: all of them do the same, including IDEs...it has to be something with my subversion settings
[23:44] <euxneks> unitlar: grep "EE" /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[23:44] <sakuramboo> i have an issue with pulseaudio and my audigy platinum card, the pulseaudio volume meter shows that there is audio, but, i dont hear anything, yes the speakers are plugged into the right port
[23:45] <euxneks> unitlar, oh, you also need to login on that black screen that looks like dos
[23:45] <unitlar> I just type it in command line??
[23:45] <euxneks> normal user name and password
[23:45] <euxneks> yeah in the command line
[23:45] <euxneks> hopefully I've got you looking at the right file ...
[23:45] <euxneks> grep is a utility that looks for phrases and words within files
[23:45] <unitlar> what is the code for logging in?
[23:46] <memeemeee> how do I find out detailed information about current installed hardware (like system profiler in OSX)?
[23:46] <euxneks> you type your username, press enter
[23:46] <euxneks> type your password
[23:46] <euxneks> press enter
[23:46] <Typh> Are there any programs for Ubuntu similar to autohotkey for Windows? In this case, I want to map a shortcut to outputting arbitrary text
[23:46] <Typh> Like ^l outputting a string of lorem ipsum
[23:46] <gaintsura> Typh: its called Super
[23:46] <unitlar> what do I do, when I find the file?
[23:47] <euxneks> all you need to do is type           grep "EE" /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[23:47] <Typh> gaintsura: There's a piece of software called Super? Have a link? That's not a great name for SEO :)
[23:47] <gaintsura> oh, nvm, Typh there is a keyboard shortcut mapper on ubuntu, and if that doesn't work, compiz has keyboard shortcuts as well
[23:47] <gaintsura> typh lol
[23:47] <unitlar> okay, will do, or I will come back and ask again
[23:47] <euxneks> also, unitlar read this: http://linux.byexamples.com/archives/319/command-line-tutorial-for-beginners/
[23:48] <euxneks> will help out a bit with CLI and how it works :)
[23:48] <euxneks> unitlar, good luck
[23:48] <sakuramboo> in the sound preferences, if i select alsa, i hear the test beep, but when i select pulseaudio, the meter says theres sound, but i hear nothing
[23:49] <DasE1> sakuramboo: why do you need pulse ?
[23:49] <Typh> gaintsura: sadly neither of those seems to let you define custom actions
[23:49] <bobertdos> sakuramboo: Do you have anything else open while you're testing?
[23:49] <sakuramboo> bobertdos, no
[23:50] <gaintsura> Typh: compiz's shortcuts do
[23:50] <sakuramboo> DasE1, i dont need pulse, but i hate screwing around with this stuff because something always breaks and im forced to reinstall
[23:50] <gaintsura> its in general options->keyboard shortcuts typh
[23:50] <Typh> gaintsura: I must be looking in the wrong place.
[23:50] <e-rod> how can I update my kernel?? :)
[23:51] <DasE1> sakuramboo: alsa works fine for all my needs, have a certain sound-issue ?
[23:51] <e-rod> is a easy way to do it? :)
[23:51] <gaintsura> Typh, open the configure compiz dialog
[23:51] <bobertdos> sakuramboo: In this case, we recommend sticking with Alsa. Pulse is new and still fairly buggy.
[23:51] <sakuramboo> i was using onboard sound and didnt have any problems, but i need the front panel to my audigy
[23:51] <gaintsura> typh: select general options
[23:51] <Typh> gaintsura: Yeah, I'm in general options.
[23:52] <gaintsura> typh: its under the tab commands
[23:52] <sakuramboo> DasE1, alsa doesnt work well with the onboard sound card
[23:52] <gaintsura> first section is configuring the commands, second is the key
[23:53] <ivy_> Hi everyone.
[23:53] <DasE1> sakuramboo: (cli) sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[23:53] <gaintsura> typh: hope that helps, I've gotta run
[23:53] <Typh> gaintsura: I'll play around, thanks
[23:54] <DasE1> sakuramboo: lspci > lspci.txt && pastebinit lspci
[23:54] <DasE1> sakuramboo:give url from terminal in here
[23:54] <DasE1> sakuramboo: lspci > lspci.txt && pastebinit lspci.txt     ŝry

[23:55] <clusby> anyone know if I can disable / remap the 'ctrl-alt-Fx' keys?
[23:55] <clusby> i.e. i have a virtual machine, and running excel is kinda hard because I would like 'ctrl-alt-F9'
[23:56] <drhe|lap> hey guys. i want to fresh install ubuntu on this 80gb sata drive. but only use up maybe 40gb for ubuntu. then i want to install xp on the rest. whats the best method for this.
[23:56] <milostrife> hey can anyone give me the terminal line to get x2chat on ubuntu
[23:57] <bobertdos> drhe|lap: Install XP first, otherwise you will want to shoot yourself later :p
[23:57] <milostrife> **irc
[23:57] <drhe|lap> hrmm
[23:57] <drhe|lap> i want to isntall ubuntu first. as i am having issues win xp picking up the onboard sata drivers for the 80gb.
[23:58] <cyban> drhe|lap, you familiar with partitioning etc?
[23:58] <drhe|lap> i am with windows
[23:58] <drhe|lap> but with linux. it seem rather odd.
[23:58] <iter> drhe|lap: you will still have that problem later, the solution is to slipstream a newer version of the disk drivers into windows or use a driver disk (F6 at startup)
[23:58] <cyban> similar concept, different names - install Ubuntu, let it do auto formatting, then modify the partition tables to leave yourself 40GB
[23:59] <iter> drhe|lap: older XP discs won't detect SATA drives
[23:59] <drhe|lap> ok
[23:59] <drhe|lap> hrmm.
[23:59] <iter> drhe|lap: you might google sata driver pack and/or nlite for more info
[23:59] <uaiui> hello guys
[23:59] <Unbe> Can anybody help me figure out how to circumvent/disable Xubuntu's "low graphics" failsafe mode for X?
[23:59] <TiTsAnDaSS> how do you install GTK+
[23:59] <ivy_> Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me with a screen resolution problem?
