[19:26] <Joe__> adalal did a little more research, found an issue with udev and dmraim not playing nice, just adding the kernel option nodmraid gets me 90% of the way there
[19:26] <gdb> wotsolatsod731: preface your command with the word 'sudo'
[19:26] <gdb> wotsolatsod731: ie; sudo aptitude install package
[19:26] <adalal> Joe__: lovely!
[19:27] <wotsolatsod731> I try'd that too and put my password in after
[19:27] <wotsolatsod731> still same message
[19:27] <mrbrdo> how do i find out if i'm on 32bit or 64bit?
[19:28] <KB1JWQ> mrbrdo: uname -a
[19:28] <Joe__> adalal now to fix the last issue with fsck helling at me about the home mount
[19:28] <ManDay> Can anyone help me getting automount of media such as SD cards and ThumbDrives to work? When I insert the medium, it displays in /dev/ and dmesg looks fine, yet it doesnt appear in nautilus nor FS unless I mount it manually!
[19:28] <mrbrdo> KB1JWQ what should i look for?
[19:28] <mrbrdo> it's i686 does that mean it's 32bit?
[19:28] <KB1JWQ> mrbrdo: What's it day?
[19:28] <KB1JWQ> It's one line.
[19:28] <KB1JWQ> Yes.
[19:28] <elzoog> BluesKaj: "elzoog, changing the name of a kernel ...why /"   Because Ubuntu Netbook Remix is the name of the OS you are booting to, not Ubuntu Linux 2.6.31-16-generic

[19:28] <ManDay> The forums, I never got any help there, adalal
[19:29] <adalal> ManDay: really? i have! so many times.. lol, give it one more go :P
[19:29] <ManDay> adalal, ok.
[19:29] <snappy1> ciao a tutti

[19:30] <adalal> umm
[19:30] <snappy1> please
[19:30] <adalal> Joe__: i think otherwise
[19:30] <Joe__> one last issue (assuming this works) I forgot... how do I permently add a line to my kernel boot options?
[19:30] <adalal> snappy... not this forum
[19:30] <Joe__> adalal yeah... it's gonna take a while :P
[19:30] <KB1JWQ> Joe__: grub.conf usually.

[19:30] <guntbert> !it | snappy1
[19:30] <snappy1> link for instruction?
[19:30] <adalal> i meant that
[19:31] <adalal> oops :P
[19:31] <Joe__> kbljwq that's under /etc right?
[19:31] <snappy1> Un link per le istruzioni
[19:31] <mka> elzoog, can your repeat your problem again?
[19:31] <elzoog> I don't care if INTERNALLY, Ubuntu wants to call these things something less user friendly.  For all I care, Ubuntu can call them "Lin <IP_ADDRESS>23.1"   It's just when, it asks me what I want to boot to, it should say something that makes sense to ME.
[19:31] <BluesKaj> elzoog, you can try changing it in  /boot/grub/grub.cfg and then doing a n update-grub , if you're on grub2
[19:31] <xiong> Just upgraded to 9,10 and having trouble with the Applications menu: Some items are not available in the 'Edit Menus' dialog, even though they display in the menu itself; some submenus of 'Games' are disabled and refuse to accept being enabled. Hints?
[19:31] <adalal> elzoog: change the volume name
[19:31] <Joe__> adalal thanks for the help earrlier.. thank god I have multtipple  computers or this would have been a problem :P
[19:31] <elzoog> mka:  I want to change the menu entry in Grub
[19:32] <mka> elzoog, you mean Grub2?
[19:32] <adalal> Joe__: indeed... same here
[19:32] <adalal> elzoog: there're guides for grub2 all over the net
[19:32] <elzoog> mka:  Yep, grub2, the least user friendly boot loader I have yet to come across
[19:32] <henkpoley> xiong: did it use to work in previous a ubuntu version ?
[19:32] <guntbert> elzoog: why don't you read and follow the instructions on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 ?
[19:32] <wotsolatsod731> Also when I try to run a windows program disc with wine I get : Access denied
[19:33] <elzoog> Guntbert:  I read the wiki on grub2
[19:33] <xiong> henkpoley, Yes, all okay in 9.04; this is only since the upgrade.
[19:33] <Datz> Hi, I am having a problem with my graphics card driver.  I just installed my NVIDIA 6600 card, and the driver, restarted, but there is a message indicating that the card and the monitor could not be detected. Can someone help me with this>
[19:33] <Alan502> Hi :) I reinstalled grub but the menu is not correctly displayed, how to fix it?
[19:33] <mka> elzoog, yeah I agree it's less user friendly
[19:33] <Datz> I cannot raise my resolution, which I would like to do
[19:33] <padi999> Can someone explain me this: date +%T --date="00:01:01 -1min"
[19:33] <padi999> 02:02:01
[19:33] <padi999> ??
[19:33] <henkpoley> xiong: also, the menu system grabs data from the menu of different desktops, could it be that these items are of  of a specific desktop environment? like KDE or something ?
[19:34] <padi999> where are the 2 hours from?
[19:34] <elzoog> I hope they upgrade grub2 so that all you have to do is change an entry in a text file to do that.
[19:34] <aleko> :)
[19:34] <mkquist_> Alan502: 9.10?
[19:34] <mka> elzoog, guntbert, adalal, I guess the grub2 howto/guide needs to be re-written again
[19:34] <guntbert> elzoog: and why didn't you follow them? changeing an entry should not be more complicated than removing/addin one :-)
[19:35] <guntbert> mka: why?
[19:35] <mka> guntbert, it is so user unfriendly
[19:35] <nastas> pompa_: still there?
[19:35] <adalal> guntbert: i think it's a bit more annoying than adding/removign a line in grub2
[19:35] <Quadrescence> How do I 'trick' the package manager into thinking it has LaTeX installed? I know this is definitely against the philosophy of package managers, but I installed a newer version of TeXLive and it should be safe to make Ubuntu think it has the proper packages installed.
[19:35] <elzoog> guntbert: You mean like "Entries should be removed by editing or removing files in the /etc/grub.d folder. The /boot/grub/grub.cfg file is read-only and should not normally be edited directly."
[19:35] <Datz> Hi, I am having a problem with my graphics card driver.  I just installed my NVIDIA 6600 card, and the driver, restarted, but there is a message indicating that the card and the monitor could not be detected. Can someone help me with this? I cannot raise my screens resolution past 800x 600
[19:35] <xiong> henkpoley, Quite possibly. I know that *some* of my apps are 'intended' for KDE, because they say so; in other cases I'm not sure, because there doesn't seem to be any definite discriminate. I don't really understand how an app can be one or the other, since all apps work fine under Gnome, although with different looks and feels.
[19:35] <adalal> Quadrescence: you can force an install
[19:36] <ManDay> adalal, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8558130

[19:36] <ManDay> Please guys, help!
[19:36] <xiong> henkpoley, Before you go into detail, yes, I do understand about Qt and GTK.
[19:36] <mkquist_> Alan502: have you tried sudo update-grub?
[19:36] <padi999> Can someone explain me this? http://pastebin.com/m2f969803 it seems as "date" is a weird function
[19:36] <neezer> hello!
[19:37] <mka> guntbert, adalal elzoog, I was stuck with grub rescue this other time and had only intrepid livecd at hand. I realised how nasty this grub2 thing is
[19:37] <neezer> merry christmas!'
[19:37] <elzoog> Guntbert:  Instead of "For example, if you want to change an entry from "Ubuntu Linux, generic 21p9348720934.902q847" to "Ubuntu Linux" you edit the file 30_linux and change the line ~~~ to ~~~
[19:37] <neezer> can I get some support for exim4 here?
[19:37] <Alan502> mkquist_, no, let me check it...
[19:37] <henkpoley> xiong: Yeah, it's kinda vague, but QT vs. GTK mostly sums it up, I believe they use different shortcut files syntax
[19:37] <Datz> Hi, I am having a problem with my graphics card driver.  I just installed my NVIDIA 6600 card, and the driver, restarted, but there is a message indicating that the card and the monitor could not be detected. Can someone help me with this>
[19:38] <elzoog> Guntbert:  In other words instead of saying it can be done, give an example of something a normal user might want to do, and how he would do that.
[19:38] <guntbert> elzoog: don't hold me responsible for the docu please :-)
[19:38] <Salvad> Hello. Merry Christmas.

[19:39] <Salvad> When I am using Firefox and a popup opens it opens not beign visible.
[19:39] <mka> I guess we need a gui application to tweak grub2 boot loader, I invested a lot of time in the past to master "grub legacy" now that time is thrown to a thrash by the introduction of grub2. feels like a slap in the face.

[19:40] <neezer> I see. I'm moving to Celle in July next year.
[19:40] <neezer> I'm quite excited about it.
[19:40] <guntbert> elzoog: (I never bother - I just see the menu once a month) - but yes - if there is a chapter how to create an entry you should be able to edit an entry with that instruction - (I hope :-/)
[19:40] <Salvad> I am with intermittent light in the panel.
[19:40] <adminewb1> maybe someone here can help direct me to a better support channel: how do I find out more about IRC host / IM network interconnects?
[19:40] <Alan502> mkquist_, i doubt this is correct, i have four partitions. Three of them have operating systems. Kubuntu, Win7 and Win XP
[19:40] <Datz> Is there somewhere else I can get help?
[19:40] <nastas> pompa_: ?
[19:41] <stayka> i have a problem with my webcam in ubuntu can you help me? please
[19:41] <elzoog> guntbert:  In other words, you don't know how to solve the problem

[19:41] <adalal> stayka: just let us know what the problem is, and if anyone can help, they will :)
[19:41] <bahman> I have a Q!
[19:42] <adminewb1> mka, I hear your frustration, and I've had plenty of grub/grub2 headaches as well, but I believe their stated reasons for the grub->grub2 migration are compelling.
[19:42] <ubuntunewbie> anyone know how to set nvidia setting ? my refresh rate keep on reset to default when I restart window
[19:42] <xiong> henkpoley, Okay, I have figured out this much: Battle for Wesnoth is a 'Game' but also a 'StrategyGame'; therefore it wants to display in the submenu, not in the main Games menu. But when I try to enable the Strategy submenu, this action fails (in a bizarre way); the check appears, then blinks out.
[19:42] <bahman> Could you tell me about running Tor with Vidalia?!

[19:44] <bahman> What a great OS!
[19:44] <Joe__> Datz I normally have to install Nvidia drivers manually
[19:44] <adalal> kheera: i suppose.. :P but they dont understand!
[19:44] <guntbert> elzoog: yes - thats true - I only looked through the said page and found  a chapter on how to add an entry - I expected that to be good enough - sorry if it isn't
[19:44] <meydlo> anybody there is able to help me with problem ("ath5k phy0: noise floor calibration tameout") pls O:-)
[19:44] <kheera> adalal: thats only because we didn't program them to understand.  whoevers bot it is should fix that.
[19:44] <Datz> Joe_: Ok...
[19:44] <neezer> I'm not getting any exim4 help over on the exim channel/server. Does anyone here know anything about it?
[19:45] <Guest10699> i have a quick question:  my f-spot opens then crashes in like .5 secs... any ideas?  fresh install ubuntu 9.10
[19:45] <mka> adminewb1, I guess I have to keep faith and learn again, you see, a transition from an expert to a newbie is traumatizing. We demand counselling to accompany the Grub2 HOWTO
[19:45] <Joe__> Datz just go to nvidia's site, and find the right driver for your card and platform
[19:45] <mkquist_> Alan502: howd you get to this point? = /
[19:45] <adalal> kheera: i swear.. i had a bot and i made it say thank you each time someone thanked it :P
[19:45] <X-Sleepy-X> Guest10699: Try opening fspot in a terminal and post the output
[19:45] <kheera> perfect :)
[19:45] <mkquist_> Alan502: as in how did grub get messed?
[19:45] <bahman> I install Tor and also Vidalia but when the Vidalia start the Tor, its stop in "Loading relay information"
[19:45] <Datz> Joe_: thanks I'll do that
[19:45] <X-Sleepy-X> Guest10699: post the output in a pastebin
[19:45] <Guest10699> i can do that... should i post into chat?
[19:46] <kheera> adalal: no if we could only program the humans to be that nice :)
[19:46] <adminewb1> mka, traumatizing, for sure
[19:46] <Guest10699> i have a lot to learn
[19:46] <Joe__> Datz after that, hit ctrl-alt-f1 to get a console window (write this down, as you won't be able to come back), login and type "sudo service gdm stop" then browse to where you saved the driver (default is ~/Desktop) and type "sudo sh NVIDIA..." fill in the name, follow the prompts.  When done just type "sudo service gdm start" and you should be good
[19:46] <stayka> I do not know, it does not work when I'm at
[19:46] <adalal> kheera: i s'pose, but we can threaten them :)
[19:46] <kheera> hah
[19:46] <Alan502> mkquist_, i installed windows xp on a different partition, so i had to reinstall my grub to be able to boot into kubuntu again
[19:46] <Joe__> guess he didn't need the rest of the instructions :P
[19:46] <adalal> kheera: it's like being rude to make others ncie
[19:46] <X-Sleepy-X> Guest10699: You post here http://pastebin.com/ then send us the link
[19:47] <kheera> adalal: threatening != being nice!

[19:51] <X-Sleepy-X> Guest10699: It says something about the error in the end of http://pastebin.com/m247eb37e but I'm not the right person to help you with that fspot problem.
[19:51] <adalal> elzoog: because it will revert back when update-grub is triggered
[19:51] <adminewb1> mka, the fuss over kernel versions is there so you can tell apart which kernel you're starting. kernel updates sometimes patch nasty bugs, and sometimes introduce regressions.
[19:51] <LiteralKa> Okay, I got out of tty, I got gdm working
[19:51] <Alan502> Joe__, of course, as more cross platform programming languages become popular
[19:51] <adalal> elzoog: you have to update the config files
[19:51] <Guest10699> dang and all i wanted was a slideshow for a screensaver...lol
[19:51] <LiteralKa> but everything is messed up, graphics wise
[19:52] <Alan502> Joe__, i see it in a close future
[19:52] <X-Sleepy-X> Guest10699: You could try to google that error message, maybe that will give you a clue on what to do or wait until someone more skilled than me on the subject answers the question...

[19:54] <Alan502> Joe__, yeah, well i guess it'll happen as linux and mac grow more popular over windows... Microsoft's reign is being taken by Google =P and Google has shown its efforts to support open source
[19:54] <X-Sleepy-X> adalal: <ubottu> Sorry, I don't know anything about vidalia
[19:54] <meydlo> nobody have experience with ("ath5k phy0: noise floor calibration tameout")?
[19:55] <adminewb1> mka, you can strip down your boot menu, but afaik that would mean you'd have to boot manually at the grub2 cmd prompt if something went haywire and you needed to start in maintenance mode; is that ok?
[19:55] <adalal> ah
[19:55] <bahman> Could anyone help me in vidalia, Tor and Pirvoxy?!
[19:55] <gmachine_24> meydio, timeout?
[19:55] <X-Sleepy-X> bahman: What you need?
[19:55] <gmachine_24> sorry, meydlo
[19:56] <Alan502> Joe__, brb
[19:56] <Datz> Hi, I'm trying to run a ".run" file, but the archive manager wants to open it.
[19:56] <X-Sleepy-X> bahman: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TOR
[19:56] <bahman> I install vidalia and Tor. Vidalia start Tor correctly, but firefox don't open webpages
[19:56] <adalal> Datz: run it from the command line
[19:57] <meydlo> can't reset hardware (-5)
[19:57] <meydlo> failed to wake up MAC chip
[19:57] <Datz> adalal, Do I just ./some.run  ?
[19:57] <mka> adminewb1, that is NOT ok. So, in simple English, there is no way to customise the entries on the GRUB2 boot loader menu?
[19:57] <adalal> Datz: yes... as long as ur in that folder :)
[19:57] <jamiejackson> what app should i use to copy audio cds in ubuntu? brasero plain doesn't work right now. makes coasters.
[19:57] <Datz>  ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-190.53-pkg1.run: command not found
[19:57] <adalal> mka: there actually is, it's jus very messed up
[19:58] <Ov3rf10w> Datz, chmod +x file.run
[19:58] <gmachine_24> ok........so forget about undvd for a moment... what do people use to back up their dvds?
[19:58] <obaid> sh Nvidia.....run
[19:58] <rsk> Datz, try sh sudo NVIDIA
[19:58] <Datz> ok
[19:58] <adminewb1> mka, yes you can customize, but it's a process one doesn't undertake so lightly
[19:58] <mka> adalal, adminewb1, grub2 is NOT user friendly then
[19:59] <adalal> mka: well, not so far no.. hopefully this will change SOOON
[19:59] <adalal> u can add custom entries quite easily though, mka
[19:59] <kheera> mka: more userfriendly than the windows alternative.
[19:59] <mka> kheera, we are not talking anything about windows
[19:59] <adminewb1> grub2 is slightly more friendly than grub, if you're starting from the ignorance of both, in my estimation
[20:00] <Autie> i need to read about grub2, its kinda different than grub
[20:00] <adalal> mka: you just can't edit the automatically configured entries easily
[20:01] <ubuntunewbie> anyone know how to set nvidia setting ? my refresh rate keep on reset to default when I restart window
[20:01] <mka> adminewb1, I rest my case. adalal, you are right. there is no straightforward way to edit the entries
[20:02] <jamiejackson> What app can I use to copy audio CDs in Ubuntu? Brasero is broken, ATM.
[20:02] <eumesmotoaki> #ubuntu
[20:02] <adalal> mka: like i said, to edit no.. but u can add custom ones
[20:02] <elzoog> admin:  If gub2 is more user friendly, then how do you change the menu entry from "Windows NT/2000/XP (on /dev/sda1)" to "Windows XP Professional"
[20:02] <apparle> guys someone plz tell me how to put my computer to sleep... I can't find the option sleep nor suspend to RAM
[20:02] <adminewb1> mka, that would beg the question of what one considers as straightforward, within the field of configuring things on Unix-like systems in general
[20:02] <mka> adalal, the menu is already crowded
[20:03] <jamiejackson> apparle: sudo pm-suspend
[20:03] <elzoog> adminewb1:  In old grub, all I would have to do is edit the line in the menu.lst file.   Since you say grub2 is more user friendly, there should be a simpler way to do that in grub2
[20:03] <apparle> jamiejackson: Actually I think ubuntu thinks my MoBo doesn't support suspend to RAM
[20:03] <mka> adminewb1, ok I withdraw my statement about straightforwardness, but IT CANNOT BE DONE!!
[20:04] <Bookman> I am logged into another computer via ssh, how do I copy a file using cp command?  I've read the man page, but it comes with no examples that I could find.
[20:04] <pepperjack> apparle: should be in your screensaver settings --> power management
[20:04] <pepperjack> or just system --> power management
[20:04] <adminewb1> elzoog, you can edit grub.cfg also, but with the understanding that your customizing can be clobbered next time an autoupdate sets up a new kernel, for instance
[20:05] <adalal> pepperjack: there is separate screensaver settings
[20:05] <apparle> pepperjack: I'll check
[20:05] <X-Sleepy-X> Bookman: if the file needs permissions put sudo infront of it, otherwise: cp file file-copy
[20:06] <X-Sleepy-X> Bookman: you could also do like this, cd /var/www and then sudo cp /home/user/file .
[20:06] <obaid> bookman, u are trying to copy file off the server ?
[20:06] <Bookman> yes
[20:06] <X-Sleepy-X> oh i c
[20:06] <X-Sleepy-X> ;)
[20:06] <elzoog> adminewb1:  That's another point.  If they wanted to make grub2 MORE user friendly and not LESS user friendly, then why didn't they give the option of automatically replacing old kernel entries in the menu with new ones?
[20:06] <adminewb1> mka, something could be done, but it might not suit your wishes for ease of use, maintainability and so forth
[20:06] <obaid> u could do this various ways, have u got, ftp, samba, www running on ur server ?
[20:06] <BluesKaj> elzoog, you can edit in  /boot/grub/grub.cfg , save it , then do sudo update-grub.
[20:07] <mka> adminewb1, that file begs you with capital letters that you should not attempt editing it
[20:07] <Bookman> obaid, I assume I have to ftp instead of trying to copy?
[20:07] <obaid> cp cannot copy cross network
[20:07] <X-Sleepy-X> Bookman: you can connect with nautilus
[20:07] <adminewb1> elzoog, not sure I understand; I thought it did just that
[20:07] <mka> adminewb1, I know, but nothing is done yet
[20:08] <Bookman> X-Sleepy-X, yes, I know that.  I just thought I could from the command line
[20:08] <X-Sleepy-X> Bookman: yeah, scp
[20:08] <obaid> Bookman, u can try to use netcat to send a single file
[20:08] <adminewb1> mka, I think the caps are to scare off people who are not so well informed; it can be edited, I do it often; I just do it knowing it's at my own risk
[20:08] <X-Sleepy-X> Bookman: http://www.go2linux.org/scp-linux-command-line-copy-files-over-ssh
[20:09] <elzoog> adminewb1:  In other words, instead of displaying to the user "Ubuntu, Linux generic 2.12.123123    Ubuntu, Linux generic 2.13.1232"  call it "Ubuntu Netbook Remix" then when the kernel is updated, have "Ubuntu Netbook Remix" point to the generic 2.13.1232 kernel instead of the 2.12.123123 kernel.
[20:10] <elzoog> adminewb1: In other words INTERNALLY, keep the name of the kernel whatever user unfriendly name you want to call it.   But simply change the TEXT that is displayed in the menu
[20:10] <adminewb1> elzoog, ok, if you're going to customize the text of the menu entries, it would be up to you to save a backup and hand-edit to clean up after autoupdates; I realize this is not a terribly satisfying answer
[20:10] <ai9371> i want to set up web server
[20:11] <Bookman> X-Sleepy-X, scp is exactly what I was looking for, thanks!
[20:11] <ai9371> with PHP mySQL  support
[20:11] <X-Sleepy-X> Bookman: your welcome
[20:11] <manowar3> ai9371, a production server or a development server?
[20:11] <guntbert> !lamp | ai9371
[20:11] <mota_> hi
[20:11] <mka> grrrrrr
[20:11] <mota_> I am new to ubuntu I am currently using a live cd
[20:11] <adminewb1> elzoog, right, I wouldn't really recommend changing the file names of your kernels; you might add some handy symbolic links as mnemonic I suppose
[20:11] <X-Sleepy-X> ai9371: when you install with the server CD you will get the choice to select LAMP, that will give you what you need...
[20:12] <elzoog> adminewb1:  The thing is, if it was for me I wouldn't care.  But I am setting up this netbook as a present for my 8 year old daughter.   So you can understand, I want to minimize confusing stuff.
[20:12] <mota_> I am trying to get nds wrapper and I dont know how to use it ? or how to get it to work can someone help me ?
[20:12] <Mwa`> How do I find the keychains and reset the password for the main one? Encryption and keyrings just has privat key info in it. This thing has set up a keychain with a password I don't know and put all my stuff in it. >:(
[20:12] <Mwa`> and why is there a ` in my name
[20:12] <mka> ai9371, sudo apt-get install apache2 php5-mysql mysql-server5.0
[20:13] <elzoog> adminewb1:  I don't want to change the name of the actual kernel.   I just want to change the TEXT that is displayed in the menu
[20:13] <mkquist_> elzoog: i thought you could make a custom menu for grub?
[20:13] <adminewb1> elzoog, to make your system bootable by nongeeks, would it be adequate simply to setup a default menu item with a timeout, so they just wait 10sec for it to go by itself?
[20:13] <mkquist_> elzoog: or just boot with no menu...
[20:14] <adalal> u can!
[20:14] <Datz> ok, well I tried installing the .run file. But to intsall the driver, I can't have"X" started.  How can I disable X?
[20:14] <adalal> u can make custom entries for grunb
[20:14] <adalal> grub*
[20:14] <mota_> Can someone help me get ndswrapper to work please ?
[20:14] <elzoog> adminewb1:  Well, one thing I DO like about grub2, is there is an option to automatically boot to the last OS you booted to before.   So if the last time you booted to Ubuntu, it will default to Ubuntu.   If the last time you booted to Windows, the next time the default will be Windows.
[20:15] <adminewb1> elzoog, customizing the boot menu item text (without changing internal representations) means you're on the hook for keeping that in place, while the automated system of updating grub.cfg is going to clobber your changes
[20:15] <X-Sleepy-X> mota_: you need the inf file for the driver i believe
[20:15] <Datz> How can I kill X to install a driver?
[20:15] <adalal> Datz: on the command line
[20:15] <mota_> x-sleepy-x where do I get that ?
[20:15] <adalal> Datz: sudo service gdm stop
[20:15] <Datz> that will drop me down to shell?
[20:15] <X-Sleepy-X> mota_: ndiswrapper uses windows drivers
[20:15] <adminewb1> that's why they warn you about manual editing of grub.cfg
[20:16] <X-Sleepy-X> mota_: i think
[20:16] <DaZ> Datz: should
[20:16] <X-Sleepy-X> !ndiswrapper
[20:16] <Datz> lets try, thanks
[20:16] <DaZ> Datz: but, you know, the drivers are usually already in the repo :F
[20:16] <elzoog> adminewb1:  The thing is, when most people think of booting to an OS, they think of booting to Ubuntu, not Ubuntu generic 2.18.12938
[20:16] <z3rongod> Is it possible to install and use wine with ubuntu live cd ?
[20:17] <Datz> sudo: service: command not found  DaZ
[20:17] <X-Sleepy-X> z3rongod: yes
[20:17] <Datz> adalal ^
[20:17] <z3rongod> Well i tried doing "wine isntallname.exe"
[20:17] <z3rongod> And said i am missing the application or something and i should do sudo apt-get
[20:17] <X-Sleepy-X> z3rongod: sudo apt-get install wine
[20:17] <z3rongod> so i did
[20:17] <DaZ> Datz: sudo init 3
[20:17] <elzoog> adminewb1:  So if you want to make it so that PEOPLE can easily use it, you should show them what they understand.
[20:17] <CrocoJet> is good idea compile kernel linux-<IP_ADDRESS> to karmic ?
[20:17] <X-Sleepy-X> z3rongod: sudo apt-get install wine1.2
[20:17] <z3rongod> And said it can't, i tried wine1.2
[20:17] <adminewb1> z3rongod, wine comes from a separate repository
[20:17] <z3rongod> and it can't either
[20:17] <adalal> just wine
[20:17] <Datz> DaZ, then run previouscommand?
[20:17] <DaZ> CrocoJet: do you need it?
[20:17] <X-Sleepy-X> z3rongod: winecfg
[20:18] <adalal> not wine1.2
[20:18] <z3rongod> winecfg ?
[20:18] <DaZ> Datz: no, that should do it
[20:18] <z3rongod> sudo apt-get install winecfg
[20:18] <z3rongod> ?
[20:18] <X-Sleepy-X> z3rongod: if you have wine installed the run winecfg
[20:18] <DaZ> Datz: init 5 should restart x
[20:18] <z3rongod> ok
[20:18] <CrocoJet> DaZ, to get new update of gspca driver
[20:18] <z3rongod> How do i run it ?
[20:18] <Datz> DaZthanks
[20:18] <X-Sleepy-X> z3rongod: type winecfg in terminal
[20:18] <z3rongod> ok
[20:18] <z3rongod> brb
[20:18] <mka> z3rongod, adminewb1, enable the universe and multiverse repositories and then do an update and then install wine
[20:19] <DaZ> CrocoJet: you can try [;
[20:19] <X-Sleepy-X> z3rongod: thats just to create the folders and stuff for wine
[20:19] <CrocoJet> why ubuntu oficial is always delayed with last kernel version?
[20:19] <Datz> DaZ, sudo init 3 appears to have done nothing visible
[20:19] <mka> z3rongod, I could not install xchat on livecd only to find out that the universe and multiverse repositories are commented
[20:19] <adminewb1> elzoog, maybe I'm missing something; your gripe is with grub2, not legacy grub yes?
[20:19] <elzoog> adminewb1:  Also, it should give you the option of deleting old kernels so that your menu doesn't end up getting cluttered up
[20:19] <DaZ> eh [;
[20:20] <sherl0ck> exit
[20:20] <sherl0ck> quit
[20:20] <elzoog> adminewb1:  Yeah, with legacy grub, I would not be having so much of a problem.
[20:20] <DaZ> Datz: /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[20:20] <Datz> thanks
[20:20] <adminewb1> elzoog, did you want a GUI tool that simplifies the management of grub2 customizing?
[20:20] <mka> elzoog, good luck my friend
[20:20] <adalal> elzoog: you can remove all the conf file, and just use the custom one, and put in whatever u want i s'pose
[20:20] <elzoog> adminewb1:  Does a GUI tool like that exist?
[20:21] <BinaryMan> elzoog: Just delete the initrd image and vmlinuz file for the older kernel from /boot
[20:21] <Joe__> adalal and I win! :P
[20:21] <adminewb1> elzoog, I think there is, but it may not suit everyone or be flexible enough for all purposes
[20:21] <X-Sleepy-X> z3rongod: yeah, as mka said: go to the menu > system > administration > software sources and make sure the first 4 checboxes are checked.
[20:21] <adalal> niceeeeeeeee
[20:21] <X-Sleepy-X> z3rongod: then install wine
[20:22] <BinaryMan> then run sudo update-grub
[20:22] <X-Sleepy-X> z3rongod: and then the program you wish to install through wine
[20:22] <elzoog> adminewb1:  Well, a GUI tool even if it doesn't do everything, would be better than reading confusing docs and trying to figure out which text file to edit.
[20:22] <adminewb1> I'd search synaptic packages for all reference to grub
[20:22] <sychonaut> Hey all.. I just installed Ubuntu netbook remix 9.10 on an EEE pc 1005ha. I finally got the internal microphone working with sound recorder but I can not get the internal mic to work with Skype. Any suggestions?
[20:22] <X-Sleepy-X> z3rongod: note that what you install on in the live session may not be there when you reboot.
[20:23] <Duskao> Hey guys, is there any way I can set my CPU's for performance settings by default as opposed to on demand?
[20:23] <X-Sleepy-X> sychonaut: have you tested all the options in skype?
[20:23] <adminewb1> I'd do it now, except I'm in WinXP :/
[20:24] <sychonaut> X-Sleepy-X, I can only  choose pulse audio. I have tried downloading the pulse audio mixer to make sure it was enabled but it did not help.
[20:26] <X-Sleepy-X> sychonaut: in that case im lost
[20:26] <X-Sleepy-X> sry
[20:26] <z3rongod> ok so i've wrote it down
[20:26] <z3rongod> i did that command
[20:26] <z3rongod> The program winecfg can be found in the following packages: wine  wine1.2
[20:27] <z3rongod> i try sudo install apt get wine  1.2 (or however it's typed)
[20:27] <sychonaut> X-Sleepy-X, ok thanks. I guess trying to get skype to detect alsa would work too. just a matter of figuring out how to do that.
[20:27] <z3rongod> The follwoing packages have unset dependencies
[20:27] <adminewb1> maybe someone here can help direct me to a better support channel: how do I find out more about IRC host / IM network interconnects?
[20:27] <mka> adminewb1, elzoog, I remember another GUI that claimed to make things easy for GRUB legacy, it did more harm than good, GRUB2 needs to be friendly with or without a GUI frontend. As this is a critical part of the whole OS, there should not be any excuses about this. otherwise the installation process should always ask you to choose the grub version you want to use
[20:27] <z3rongod> wine 1.2: Deppends: libmpg123-o but is not installable
[20:27] <oskar-> hi, i use karmic. my init system is somehow mixed up: sshd and the getty processes on tty1-6 do not start at system boot. i suggest the migration to upstart went wrong. any ideas repairing upstart?
[20:27] <X-Sleepy-X> z3rongod: go to the menu > system > administration > software sources and make sure the first 4 checboxes are checked.
[20:27] <z3rongod> depends libopenal1 but it's not installable
[20:27] <z3rongod> ok
[20:28] <sharif> How to be able to find a form of bandwidth quota in ubuntu so i can limit speed while sharing Internet for users via Ubuntu Internet sharing machine ?
[20:29] <mka> z3rongod, and after doing what X-Sleepy-X told you to do, do a sudo apt-get update before trying to install
[20:29] <bartmon> Hi! I have a problem with suspend on my laptop ever since the karmic upgrade. My sound is just dead after suspend! Even logging in and out helps, all pulseaudio processes get restarted but to no avail. It seems to be a kernel issue?
[20:29] <Duskao> nobody knows how to do it?
[20:29] <z3rongod> i did install wine1.2
[20:29] <andre_> /q
[20:29] <andre_> \q
[20:29] <z3rongod> did i do wrong?
[20:30] <P1R1> Hey Guys, I need a Xmas miracle...I was saving all of my dad's computer to a usb drive. But now the usb drive wont mount, and I cant lose that data. Please help me.
[20:30] <z3rongod> it's installing...

[20:31] <mka> shilan1, what did you do when you went to windows?
[20:31] <Duskao> X-Sleepy-X I have found that when it isn't set to 2.3 gigs or performance then they processors max out at 3.45 ghz (triple processor) instead of 6.9 ghz.
[20:32] <mka> shilan1, all the keys did not work or you are talking about the special Fn keys?
[20:32] <shilan1> mka: i do nothing, in windows thats work properly
[20:32] <shilan1> mka: all keys not work olso my tuchpad too
[20:32] <richardha> Get windows keys for 5eur only http://bit.ly/5Tgz2X :)
[20:32] <mka> shilan1, so you are on windows now?
[20:33] <X-Sleepy-X> !ops richardha
[20:33] <shilan1> mka: no after i restart the key work in ubuntu
[20:33] <richardha> Get windows keys for 5eur only http://bit.ly/5Tgz2X :)
[20:33] <shilan1> mka: i'm now on ubuntu
[20:34] <mka> shilan1, maybe that was a once off problem not even related to your keyboard
[20:34] <Joe__> ok my last battle... ca-certificates-java fails to install on configuration, but I'm not finding a fix (or one I understand)

[20:34] <Shawn-> why is ubuntu not starting wireless networking?
[20:34] <Shawn-> on my netbook
[20:34] <mka> shilan1, remember linux can hang too
[20:34] <shilan1> mka: sorry i don't undrestand your answer
[20:35] <meero> how to force grep to not break long lines?
[20:35] <adminewb1>  I could be using the wrong domain language, but need help anyway... can someone here direct me to a better support channel: how do I find out more about IRC host / IM network interconnects?
[20:35] <mka> shilan1, maybe you system hanged
[20:35] <shilan1> mka: no, any time this happen
[20:35] <X-Sleepy-X> Duskao: They have removed the option I was looking for in gconf-editor, now I'm looking for another way to do it.
[20:35] <guntbert> meero: grep doesn't "break lines"
[20:35] <Duskao> lol, ok. Thanks a bunch.
[20:35] <arquebus> adminewb1: go to #linux
[20:36] <adminewb1> ok thanks arquebus
[20:36] <mka> shilan1, oh? under what condition it happens, I thought you said you are on linux now and it works fine
[20:36] <arquebus> np
[20:36] <Joe__> nvm, think I found it
[20:36] <X-Sleepy-X> Duskao: I think you will find the answer here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1216062
[20:36] <Joe__> after my upgrade I see I still have jaunty and karmic repos in my list, it shouldn't be that way should it?

[20:39] <meero> guntbert:  cat auth.log |grep -v  CRON
[20:39] <mka> shilan1, does it log in automatically?
[20:39] <X-Sleepy-X> guntbert: i am, i just made a short joke
[20:39] <guntbert> X-Sleepy-X: :-)
[20:39] <X-Sleepy-X> :)
[20:39] <shilan1> mka: yes
[20:39] <z3rongod> ok
[20:39] <z3rongod> well
[20:40] <Shawn-> x-sleepy-x I did that it finds the networking controller but won't start wireless
[20:40] <mka> shilan1, I would like to know at what point does your keyboard stops working
[20:40] <z3rongod> how can i apply a crack? :|
[20:40] <X-Sleepy-X> Shawn-: give me the output of the wireless controller
[20:40] <Shawn-> I'm on my phone
[20:40] <shilan1> mka: me too :)
[20:40] <z3rongod> it's not possible is it?
[20:41] <mka> shilan1, maybe turn off automatic log in
[20:41] <X-Sleepy-X> z3rongod: what are you talking about now?
[20:41] <Shawn-> x-sleepy-x it finds a network controller and an ethernet controller
[20:41] <guntbert> meero: you don't need cat here - instead pipe the results to less : grep -iv cron /var/log/auth.log | less     --- you can leave less by pressing q
[20:41] <z3rongod> I've installed bejeweled 2 and can't find a working serial for it
[20:41] <z3rongod> So i came across some cracks but don't know if they work or how to apply them
[20:41] <X-Sleepy-X> Shawn-: do you get any type of connection, wired or wireless?
[20:42] <Shawn-> x-sleepy-x I have no wired to plug into
[20:42] <X-Sleepy-X> z3rongod: that sound illegal
[20:42] <X-Sleepy-X> sounds*
[20:42] <mka> shilan1, if you cannot even type your username and password then the problem is at early boot stages, maybe there is some module that needs to be blacklisted
[20:42] <z3rongod> X-Sleepy-X: it might be i don't know
[20:43] <z3rongod> so having illegal copies of windows since 95
[20:43] <guntbert> !piracy | z3rongod
[20:43] <X-Sleepy-X> Shawn-: paste the output of lspci at http://pastebin.com
[20:43] <z3rongod> Oh i see
[20:43] <oskar-> hi again. what is the normal runlevel in karmic? on my machine executing "runlevel" says: "unknown"
[20:43] <mka> Shawn-, cracks are illegal
[20:43] <protojay> !piracy | protojay
[20:43] <chazco> Hi... how can I record a currently playing sound?
[20:43] <Shawn-> x-sleepy-x I can't on my phone since no internet
[20:43] <shilan1> mka: tnx , but i dont know about blacklist
[20:43] <guntbert> !runlevels | oskar-
[20:43] <Shawn-> mka I never talked about cracks
[20:44] <guntbert> !askthebot > protojay
[20:44] <X-Sleepy-X> Shawn-: sry my mistake
[20:44] <Shawn-> x-sleepy-x any ideas?
[20:44] <Joe__> after upgradining from 9.04 to 9.10 I see the jaunty repos are still active, should I disable them?
[20:44] <mka> shilan1, I remember a module for my Compro TV card made my whole ubuntu system to hang, I had to blacklist it
[20:45] <Zorael> It's not possible to bind (xmodmap) a single key to be another key + a modifier, is it? Like, to bind a multimedia key to be Ctrl+Tab?
[20:45] <X-Sleepy-X> Shawn-: can you type the line in lspci here, the line that says something about the wireless card?
[20:45] <J_spot> Hi, I have a bit of problem with the network manager. A little while back I was connecting to my DSL directly (with pppoeconfig) which auto-configured my /etc/network/interfaces file. A little while ago I had to switch to using a router to give wireless access to others and I manually edited /etc/network/interfaces so I could connect to my router. The problem is that networkmanager doesn't manage my connections anymore. My network works
[20:45] <J_spot> just fine otherwise. Is there some way to get networkmanager working again?
[20:45] <meero> guntbert: this grep -iv... |less does the line breaking too :-)
[20:45] <mka> shilan1, you can make your system to print messages as it is starting up and note the name of the module it is loading by the time it hangs
[20:46] <Shawn-> x-sleepy-x it never metions a wireless card only network or ethernet
[20:46] <mka> shilan1, then take the name of  that module to google and see if there are any issues with that module
[20:46] <shilan1> mka: how ?
[20:46] <xiong> Does anybody have any clue about the main menu? Point me to a place to study up? Where is the starting point?
[20:46] <adalal> what main menu xiong?
[20:47] <X-Sleepy-X> Shawn-: what does iwconfig tell you?
[20:47] <guntbert> meero: in less you can always switch by pressing S, but you can call less with -S too (grep -iv cron /var/log/auth.log | less -S)
[20:47] <mka> shilan1, in GRUB1 there was menu.lst and you would turn off usplash and remove the "quiet" option
[20:47] <mka> shilan1, in grub2 I really do not know
[20:47] <Shawn-> x-sleepy_x no wireless extensions
[20:47] <xiong> adalal, Er. *the* main menu. Part of my problem is that I don't know what to call it, or how many components it comprises. I'm truly lost here.
[20:47] <n8tuser> J_spot-> what is the real issue? what is  not workin?
[20:47] <X-Sleepy-X> shilan1: you edit the settings in sudo nano /etc/default/grub
[20:47] <shilan1> mka: i have grub1
[20:48] <mka> shilan1, good!
[20:48] <X-Sleepy-X> shilan1: oh, never mind my comment then
[20:48] <n8tuser> xiong describe what you see, what you want added what you want remove?
[20:48] <mka> shilan1, sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[20:48] <X-Sleepy-X> mka: sudo nano /etc/default/grub to edit grub2 ;)
[20:49] <guntbert> mka: gksudo not sudo
[20:49] <J_spot> n8tuser: Everything works, it's just I have to do it manually - networkmanager is kaput. It doesn't manage any devices. Can I reconfigure it somehow?
[20:49] <Question_> anyone know how I could merge those two partitions? http://www.pastebin.ca/1726973
[20:49] <meero> guntbert: as u told me that greo should not break lines, i tried to look in putty settings and there is "autowrap" enabled default :-)
[20:49] <mka> guntbert, X-Sleepy-X, thanks guys!
[20:49] <guntbert> !gksudo | mka shilan1
[20:49] <n8tuser> J_spot-> is NetworkManager running?  ps aux|grep manager
[20:50] <mka> shilan1, gksudo /boot/grub/menu.lst
[20:50] <guntbert> meero: ok, but I still prefer to use less -S anyway
[20:50] <z3rongod> Oh well
[20:50] <z3rongod> i'll just install the game
[20:50] <z3rongod> over and over each hour
[20:50] <n8tuser> J_spot-> is NetworkManager running?  ps aux|grep Manager
[20:50] <meero> guntbert: thanks anyway
[20:50] <Shawn-> x-sleepy-x any suggestions?
[20:50] <z3rongod> and switch back to windows when i get my new hdd
[20:50] <z3rongod> thanks for the help with wine
[20:50] <J_spot> n8tuser: Erm.. nope it doesn't show up. I guess the icon in the panel is unrelated to it?
[20:50] <guntbert> meero: np
[20:50] <xiong> adalal, I'm uncertain about the simplest assertions here. I see three menus at the left end of the top panel; I can't remember a time when they weren't there, although now I fear I might have put them there very early in installation of the last Ubuntu version. They are 'Applications', 'Places', 'System'. I don't know if a single program generates all three, or how many are involved, or what. I'm fairly convinced that they are mes
[20:50] <xiong> sed up due to some bad configuration and I'd like to completely remove and reinstall them, deleting all user configuration, and just start over.
[20:51] <X-Sleepy-X> Shawn-: check if you can activate any networks drivers in system > administration > hardware drivers
[20:51] <mka> shilan1, an then the line with "kernel /vmlinuz root= ... ro quiet splash" make it like "kernel /vmlinuz root= .... ro"
[20:51] <n8tuser> J_spot-> the icon is an applet, look for nm
[20:51] <Shawn-> x-sleepy-x nope
[20:51] <danny> is there any recovery tool for deleted data on an ntfs partition in ubuntu?
[20:51] <nightfrog> guntbert: you dont need gksudo to run nano. nano isnt a gtk program
[20:51] <mka> shilan1, that is, remove the "splash" and "quiet" flags
[20:51] <X-Sleepy-X> Shawn-: what pc do you have?
[20:51] <n8tuser> danny you are out of luck on that..no recovery i know of
[20:52] <adalal> u can get them back
[20:52] <guntbert> nightfrog: yes, but he recommended gedit
[20:52] <adalal> xiong:
[20:52] <danny> oh man
[20:52] <xiong> adalal, I'm not even sure what I'm fighting. Are Debian and Ubuntu fighting? Are Gnome and KDE fighting? It looks like both are possible.
[20:52] <Shawn-> x-sleepy-x uhhh its an hp mini with an intel atom n270 I don't remember the netbook model number
[20:52] <n8tuser> xiong-> may as well start fresh, re-install freshly
[20:53] <_qUaNtUm_>  hi guys, on firefox items are not being visualized on my bookmarks toolbar: i have many of em and they dont fit in the space of my screen so usually at the end of the toolbar there's a little arrow and by clicking on it the remaining ones appear, now there's no arrow and just the sign of another bookmark, if i right click on it, itz this "bookmarks toolbar items" icon which is never been there before, i run ubuntu 8.10 with ff3
[20:53] <marcelo> #join
[20:53] <X-Sleepy-X> Shawn-: i remember from the easy peasy forums that a user couldnt get that wifi card working, not sure if it got solved though...
[20:53] <marcelo> list
[20:53] <fanti> hello! i've some problems using fglrx graphics driver: new windows appears very slow when desktop effects are enabled (composite).
[20:53] <Shawn-> x-sleepy-x and what do I do
[20:54] <guntbert> xiong: those are the standard menues - you can edit them yourself: richgt click on applications/edit menues
[20:54] <xiong> n8tuser, That's my idea. I don't know how to do that. I'm not even sure how to search for background, how to study the issue, because I don't know what to call things. I'm floundering in detailed docs for 'XDG' without having any idea what controls menus, in a practical user sense.
[20:54] <X-Sleepy-X> Shawn-: sorry but i'm not sure, try to google alot on it or hang around here until you get someone who knows, perhaps join #eeepc alse
[20:54] <X-Sleepy-X> also*
[20:54] <P1R1> Hey guys, my usb drive wont mount, and I really need the data that is inside...What can I do?
[20:54] <xiong> guntbert, My issue is that the standard editing procedure doesn't work properly.
[20:54] <dbugger> Hey guys!  Wasnt supposed Linux to be freezeproof?
[20:55] <EsatYuce> How can i be admin in Launchpad? i typed to #Launchpad channel, but there is nobody to answer me.
[20:55] <guntbert> xiong: in what way?
[20:55] <xiong> guntbert, Rather than try to undo what is wrong, since it's difficult to describe, I'd be happy just to start *completely* over with this. Less trouble for everyone, yes?
[20:55] <chazco> Hi... is there any way to record the sound from an application in 9.10?
[20:55] <drakhan> 16gb for / is too much? given that i dont want to have o my god number of programs, window managers and dont know what more
[20:56] <BlouBlou> chazco: RecordMyDesktop maybe?
[20:56] <isolat3dsh33p> dbugger: do you have the right driver for graphics?
[20:56] <xiong> guntbert, That is: Totally remove everything that controls or configures those three menus and reinstall from a fresh download.
[20:56] <n8tuser> xiong-> pull out your livecd rom and insert then click on install
[20:56] <adamot> I have ubuntu Karmic Koala and I have two drives on my computer. one drive is the drive i'm booted off of and the other only contains media. everytime i boot i have to re-mount my secondary drive. how do i keep this secondary drive mounted?
[20:56] <n8tuser> upon boot
[20:56] <dbugger> isolat3dsh33p, I dont know. it all worked pretty much out of the box
[20:56] <dbugger> isolat3dsh33p, What should I do?
[20:56] <guntbert> xiong: I see  - you also colud just add a new user
[20:57] <xiong> n8tuser, That is more extreme even than I want to get into. I don't want to do a complete reinstall of Ubuntu if I can help it.
[20:57] <isolat3dsh33p> dbugger: you can enable compiz?
[20:57] <dbugger> isolat3dsh33p, I am using compiz
[20:57] <xiong> guntbert, I have already located what is supposed to be the config dir for the menus and deleted it, without luck. This is, perhaps, not a user issue.
[20:57] <X-Sleepy-X> bbl
[20:58] <oCean_> adamot: adding entry in /etc/fstab will mount the second driver every boot. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab
[20:58] <xiong> I'm going to switch quickly to Guest and see what I see there.
[20:58] <ghost> Hi
[20:58] <Damian> hello
[20:58] <EsatYuce> How can i be admin in Launchpad? i typed to #Launchpad channel, but there is nobody to answer me.
[20:58] <Guest59797> Anybody have a list of Ubuntu based Distros that are for old computers?
[20:58] <n8tuser> xiong-> your choice, fiddle with the configs til your hair turn white or just bit it, and re-install freshly
[20:58] <Guest59797> I need lite-weight ones
[20:59] <adamot> oCean: I am really new to Ubuntu, do you think you could explain how to do that?
[20:59] <ania_> hello can somebody help me with sound??
[20:59] <dbugger> isolat3dsh33p, What does compiz has to do with it?
[20:59] <shilan1> mka: i have more than line like "kernel /vmlinuz root= ... ro quiet splash" all of them should change?
[20:59] <Damian> Guest59797 - I would recommend CrunchBang
[21:00] <n8tuser> adamot-> can you try to pick up a book on linux? perhaps a little time reading those and practice would help you.. i know it takes time
[21:00] <adamot> n8tuser haha okay
[21:00] <Guest59797> it wont install
[21:00] <mka> no change the one of the kernel you are booting (probably the latest version)
[21:00] <xiong> guntbert, I find the same trouble with Guest. In short, the Games submenu is surely messed up, in that sub-submenus can't be enabled. Something is wrong in the system.
[21:00] <ania_> plz help me with sound 9.10
[21:00] <oCean_> adamot: The link I send should be very easy to follow. In short: open the file /etc/fstab in your favorite editor, and add a line there specifying the 2nd hdd, the mountpoint, filsystemtype and mountoptions.
[21:00] <Guest59797> I donwloaded Crunchbang via torrent, and it wont boot up.
[21:00] <knopf> hi. does anyone know why "ssh -gNv -R :10000:localhost:15000<EMAIL_ADDRESS>results in "telnet localhost 15000" working but "telnet example.com 15000" doesn't work? thanks
[21:00] <isolat3dsh33p> dbugger: I'm not sure how to explain it, but if your driver is not compatible with compiz, your Xorg will crash when you play video in full screen.
[21:01] <dbugger> isolat3dsh33p, also happens when NOT in fullscreen. You think this might go away turning off compiz?
[21:01] <Guest59797> He has a Pentium II with 200MB of RAM, my brothers computer.  I need to install something lightweight on it..
[21:01] <MrKeuner> hello, is there a way to uninstall all the packages but base installation files?
[21:01] <Damian> you could always try debian with xfce
[21:01] <ania_> i ve got sound only after reload alsa forced reboot
[21:01] <ania_> what to do?
[21:01] <mka> shilan1, type "uname -r" and see the version of the kernel you have booted. and then edit the corresponding line in menu.lst
[21:01] <Guest59797> He's a n00b.  Isnt debian a bit more demanding than ubuntu?
[21:02] <X-Sleepy-X> Guest59797: SliTaz
[21:02] <Guest59797> I tried Xubuntu, it seems to be too much for the comp lol
[21:02] <Guest59797> Slitaz?
[21:02] <Guest59797> hmm
[21:02] <mka> shilan1, there is no harm in editing in all the file, but it is not worth it
[21:02] <Damian> it´s as easy as ubuntu
[21:02] <isolat3dsh33p> dbugger: Probably. What's the output of « lspci | grep VGA » ?
[21:02] <X-Sleepy-X> Guest59797: http://www.slitaz.org/en/
[21:02] <xeer> Happy holidays everyone. I just received a Logitech MX 5500 Revolution as a gift, it's said since logitech does not have linux drivers!
[21:02] <X-Sleepy-X> Guest59797: takes only 35 mb
[21:02] <shilan1> mka ok  tnx
[21:02] <Guest59797> Excellent, I will check it out.  I will give Debian a look at too.
[21:03] <isolat3dsh33p> ania_: which version of ubuntu u have?
[21:03] <Guest59797> Why not just use Debian instead of Ubuntu, then?
[21:03] <guntbert> xiong: sorry to hear that - still reinstalling a whole OS because of menu settings seems ....
[21:03] <dbugger> isolat3dsh33p, VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RC410 [Radeon Xpress 200M]
[21:03] <xeer> The person getting the gift said they asked the salesman at Best Buy if it would work in linux, of course they would say yes
[21:03] <guntbert> xiong: ... extreme
[21:03] <ania_> 9.10
[21:03] <xeer> Does anyone know of a way to get the SetPoint software to work under WINE?
[21:03] <isolat3dsh33p> dbugger: and what's your driver use for that?
[21:03] <Guest59797> Damian: what are the advantages to Debian over ubuntu?  Just a curiosity. lol
[21:04] <xiong> guntbert, I'm not being clear. I want to erase the menu -- well, first I want to know what to *call* it. What makes the menus? How can I get docs on it?
[21:04] <oCean_> xeer: may be ask in #winehq?
[21:04] <guntbert> !ot Guest59797 Damian
[21:04] <mka> xeer what is the SetPoint software?
[21:04] <fanti> hello! is here somebody who is aware of the ati's fglrx / xorg-server problem, which causes very slow window-creation when compositing is enabled (desktop effects)?
[21:04] <Damian> Guest59797 - it doesn´t come with preinstalled appliactions and you can choose the graphical menager
[21:04] <xiong> guntbert, So far as I can tell, there may be two or three different overlapping things trying to get in on the menu generation process. I'm totally confused.
[21:04] <Guest59797> !ot?
[21:05] <BlouBlou> guntbert: separate command and users with a "|"
[21:05] <dbugger> isolat3dsh33p, as I said, working out of the box... i dont know anything about any driver
[21:05] <EsatYuce> ubottu
[21:05] <guntbert> BlouBlou: *I* know - only my fingers don#t
[21:05] <Guest59797> Slitaz can be installed to your HD?
[21:05] <mka> fanti: are you having enough memory?
[21:05] <P1R1> My pendrive will not mount, I need some help plz
[21:06] <Damian> Guest59797 - why don´t you try xubuntu? xfce is very low on resources
[21:06] <isolat3dsh33p> dbugger: try to go to System->Administration->Hardware Drivers and see if any proprietary drivers listed there
[21:06] <fanti> mka: i guess so.. yes
[21:06] <jurisz> can I mount first root partition, second partition to /home and third to /home/xxx . Will there be conficts with second and third aprtition mount points?
[21:06] <X-Sleepy-X> Guest59797: yes
[21:06] <xeer> mka: it's what Logitech calls their drivers that run in windows
[21:06] <Darkchylde> Damian: xubuntu's a bit too heavy for the guest's machine.
[21:06] <Guest59797> Damian:  I did, it worked, but then my brothers task bar vanished. lol
[21:06] <dbugger> isolat3dsh33p, there isnt. In previous Ubuntu versions there was, but with the last ones, it's gone
[21:06] <X-Sleepy-X> Guest59797: Have you tried installing with the alternate CD for ubuntu?
[21:06] <Guest59797> X-Sleepy-X: Ok, on the site it was talking about booting from CDs and Pen drives.
[21:07] <Guest59797> X-Sleepy-X:  Ubuntu will install graphically, it just is very slow.
[21:07] <BlouBlou> guntbert: okok hehe
[21:07] <Guest59797> Once installed, etc.
[21:07] <fanti> mka: 4gb of ram and 512 mb of dedicated graphics memory
[21:08] <Guest59797> Damian: No idea why, I had problems installing Xubuntu on his computer anyways.
[21:08] <xiong> guntbert, I'm getting a very strong feeling that this menu issue is connected to the libxml-sax-perl issue, but I don't see how.
[21:08] <isolat3dsh33p> dbugger: type « lspci -k » and look for VGA and tell me what driver in use. :)
[21:08] <tarski> anyone know how to make wine under ubuntu suck less? i have a nvidia card and the fps in a game i am playing is allover the place sometimes 50 fps sometimes 9 fps!
[21:08] <mka> fanti: that is more than sufficient, you really need compiz?
[21:08] <shilan1> mka: should i remove this line "# defoptions=quiet splash"
[21:08] <fanti> mka: i'd like to use compiz, yes
[21:08] <mka> shilan1, leave it as it is
[21:09] <dbugger> isolat3dsh33p, I get this: 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RC410 [Radeon Xpress 200M]
[21:09] <dbugger> 	Kernel modules: radeon, radeonfb
[21:09] <sebastian> jest ktoś z Polski??
[21:09] <mka> fanti, you say it works but its slow?
[21:09] <sebastian> jest ktoś z Polski??
[21:10] <mka> fanti: I am not aware of any speed related tweaks
[21:10] <guntbert> xiong: let me look for something
[21:10] <avar> After an hour of so of googling around I still can't find how to change the automounted mointpoint in /media for my mp3 device: http://pastie.org/756603
[21:10] <isolat3dsh33p> dbugger: try install the one from AMD website
[21:10] <Seeker`> !pl | sebastian
[21:10] <avar> I've tried setting what look to be the right values in gconf but that doesn't work
[21:10] <dbugger> isolat3dsh33p, should those work better?
[21:10] <mka> jurisz, can you state your problem again
[21:11] <xiong> guntbert, Let's try this. This other issue seems to be that I have a bad install of XML::SAX. But 'locate SAX' turns up dozens of entries. Can I somehow uninstall all versions of XML::SAX, reinstall, and see what I get then?
[21:11] <fanti> mka: this is an already known bug... which can be fixed by the 107_fedora_dont_backfill_bg_none.patch (google tells more about it)
[21:11] <fanti> mka: i'm just wondering if there is a workaround for that problem for ubuntu users
[21:11] <mka> fanti, and then? what happens when you follow those suggestions?
[21:12] <fanti> mka: i don't like to recompile xorg-server by myself....
[21:12] <isolat3dsh33p> dbugger: Usually it does. You're in which version of ubuntu and what kernel version? type « uname -a » if you don't know

[21:12] <mka> fanti, ok that is very deep for my level of understanding. but if you can recompile it, then go ahead
[21:13] <shilan1> mka:  should i remove quiet after " kernel /vmlinuz.. " in last line ?
[21:13] <isolat3dsh33p> dbugger: Wait...
[21:13] <mka> shilan1, yes
[21:14] <mka> shilan1, if there is "splash" on that specific line, remove it as well
[21:14] <dbugger> isolat3dsh33p, ok
[21:14] <sebastian> jest ktoś z Polski??
[21:14] <ssv1994> hello
[21:15] <pyrak> which is better for my 8-year-old brother's new netbook: edubuntu or ubuntu netbook remix?
[21:15] <guntbert> xiong: please ask the channel again - sorry I cannot help :-(
[21:15] <oskar-> hurray, i solved my upstart problems: the "auto lo" in /etc/network/interfaces was somehow missing, so that "lo" did not come up, which is precondition for "/etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf"
[21:15] <BluesKaj> !pl | sebastian
[21:15] <shilan1> mka: tnx
[21:16] <xiong> guntbert, Thanks for trying.
[21:16] <fanti> mka: is it possible to tell apt-get NOT to upgrade my custom compiled xorg-server while running an apt-get upgrade ?
[21:16] <sepehr> need help, tried getting wlan0 to work by installing kwlan but that failed and even killed my eth0 connection
[21:16] <isolat3dsh33p> dbugger: find your driver here -> http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx
[21:17] <ssv1994> hello, does someone use linux mint?
[21:17] <pyrak> i think i'll go with edubuntu because the educational games can only be a good thing.  though i think the simplicity of the netbook remix interface might be nice...
[21:17] <dbugger> isolat3dsh33p, Yeah, i already did. SHould I install it?
[21:17] <BluesKaj> pyrak, difficult to say , do some research keeping in mind what your brothers interests are and what he wants to do with it
[21:17] <guntbert> !mint | ssv1994
[21:17] <P1R1> My usb drive will not mount in my computer anymore, but when I plug it in I get this message 3 times: [sdb] Asumming drive cache: Write throgh....What is happening?
[21:17] <mka> fanti: you can use to GUI to deselect the xorg-server upgrade and upgrade the remainder
[21:18] <Guest59797> Er,where do you download SLITAZ?
[21:18] <Guest59797> lol
[21:18] <Guest59797> There is no download area on their site.
[21:18] <mka> fanti: maybe there is a better way to tell apt to ignore it. that would be fancy!
[21:18] <sepehr> u want slitaz 2.0 or cooking
[21:18] <shilan1> !
[21:19] <Guest59797> sepher: what is "cooking"
[21:19] <pyrak> ah, looks like i can easily get all the educational games by installing one package
[21:19] <pyrak> ubuntu-edu-secondary
[21:19] <pyrak> so maybe i'll go with netbook remix and then grab all the games
[21:19] <Guest59797> sepher:  Where is the download option on the site?
[21:20] <sepehr> Guest59787: http://www.slitaz.org/en/get/#cooking
[21:20] <X-Sleepy-X> Guest59797: check pm
[21:20] <Guest59797> Thank you.

[21:21] <isolat3dsh33p> dbugger: Try it and then reboot. If it does not work, you'll see your windows moving slow. And uninstall it, then reinstall the repo version of fglrx.
[21:22] <timbuk2> here's a question...why, everytime i load xchat, does it make me join this SHITTY FUCKING channel
[21:22] <dbugger> isolat3dsh33p, seems like my ATI card isnt supporter by fglrx :(
[21:22] <sepehr> Any1 know how to get my eth0 working again in kubuntu after i killed it trying to install kwlan from the package manager
[21:22] <xiong> Is it possible for the 'locate' command to cough up 'ghost' results of deleted files?
[21:22] <dbugger> isolat3dsh33p, https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/catalyst_910_linux.pdf
[21:22] <mobi-sheep> !wtf | timbuk2
[21:22] <dbugger> isolat3dsh33p, it's not on the list :(
[21:23] <guntbert> timbuk2: learn to use a) your language b) xchat
[21:23] <BluesKaj> timbuk2, because you have it set to autoconnect to this chat
[21:23] <bastid_raZor> timbuk2: because you've failed to uncheck connect on startup of chat...
[21:23] <timbuk2> i didn't set anything. i just installed the program. and i'd prefer if it didn't auto default to anything at all
[21:23] <isolat3dsh33p> dbugger: It should be this one -> http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Legacy/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.7&product=<IP_ADDRESS>.3.3.1&lang=English
[21:23] <kheera> xiong: yes it is possible.  run updatedb to reindex after deleting files.
[21:24] <isolat3dsh33p> dbugger: you're using desktop right?
[21:24] <bastid_raZor> timbuk2: please learn how to use your software before making yourself look foolish.
[21:24] <dbugger> isolat3dsh33p, yeah
[21:24] <timbuk2> i can find nothing in the preferences menu that sets autoconnect
[21:24] <mobi-sheep> timbuk2: “Hope has two beautiful daughters. Their names are anger and courage—anger at the way things are, and courage to see that they do not remain the way they are.”   Have some courage.
[21:24] <isolat3dsh33p> dbugger: then try the link i just gave you
[21:24] <xiong> kheera, Thanks. Also 'locate -e' seems to help.
[21:25] <dbugger> isolat3dsh33p, on it
[21:26] <xiong> kheera, Actually, 'updatedb' fails: updatedb: can not open a temporary file for `/var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db'
[21:26] <isolat3dsh33p> dbugger: you got it?
[21:26] <dbugger> isolat3dsh33p, wait a moment, it's 80 f**king MB :)
[21:27] <edy> hi
[21:27] <jiffe20> how do I connect nautilus to a CIFS IP?
[21:27] <isolat3dsh33p> dbugger: LOL
[21:27] <timbuk2> under IRC Preferences, there is Nickname, Real name, Quit message, Part message, Away message, Highlighting, User Interface(subtopics: Use the system terminal font, use this font, log conversations, show timestamps, show marker line"
[21:27] <timbuk2> that is it...nothing else under IRC Preferences
[21:27] <miriam> hola
[21:27] <jiffe20> it is not on the same subnet do it doesn't show up under network
[21:27] <timbuk2> and I would definitely consider this auto-connect server nonsense a preference
[21:27] <Hydrosis> tumbuk2 what are you trying to do
[21:28] <xiong> kheera, Now I'm trying 'sudo updatedb' which seems to be working.
[21:28] <mobi-sheep> timbuk2: XChat --> Network List
[21:28] <timbuk2> Hyd: When I load xchat, I don't want it to connect me to any server, or join any channel
[21:28] <timbuk2> I looked in the Network list
[21:28] <timbuk2> it's just a list of servers
[21:28] <timbuk2> none of which are freenode
[21:28] <timbuk2> so i have no idea how i'm connecting to freenode or how i'd alter it
[21:28] <mkquist_> timbuk2 - check in nickname, see if there are identities maybe
[21:29] <mobi-sheep> timbuk2: irc.ubuntu.com -- That's a freenode server.
[21:29] <X-Sleepy-X> timbuk2: press Ctrl+S
[21:29] <Hydrosis> I connect to 0 servers when opening xchat.  Re-install?
[21:29] <dbugger> isolat3dsh33p, ok runing it
[21:29] <dbugger> isolat3dsh33p, yeah... as expected.... "Error: ./default_policy.sh does not support version
[21:29] <dbugger> default:v2:i686:lib::none:2.6.31-16-generic; make sure that the version is being
[21:29] <dbugger> correctly set by --iscurrentdistro
[21:29] <dbugger> "
[21:29] <FloodBot2> dbugger: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:29] <dbugger> ups, sorry
[21:29] <guntbert> Hydrosis: reinstall is seldom a remedy
[21:30] <Hydrosis> guntbert: when you want default settings re-install is the safest way to do it, unless the feature is built into the app.
[21:30] <timbuk2> ok
[21:30] <timbuk2> that works
[21:30] <bastid_raZor> timbuk2: do you have xchat or xchat-gnome
[21:30] <timbuk2> thanks for all your help
[21:30] <dbugger> guntbert, Dont blame him to think that. It's M$'s fault :D
[21:31] <sharif> How I can control bandwidth with Internet connection sharing ?
[21:31] <aar> Hi, after installing Ubuntu 9.10 it's taking a long time for my GRUB menu to load, as if BIOS was waiting for something to time out. What could be the problem?
[21:32] <guntbert> Hydrosis: I usually don't mess with my settings in such an extreme way - but if you want to remove everything you set in xchat - just rename .xchat2
[21:32] <DeadObama> Tired of Niggers and their stupid ape-like antics?
[21:32] <Hydrosis> YES!!!!
[21:32] <DeadObama> Join us at http://www.chimpout.com/forum

[21:33] <Hydrosis> LOl
[21:33] <isolat3dsh33p> LOL
[21:33] <dbugger> isolat3dsh33p, as you read, it didnt do anything. it says some "wrong version" thing
[21:34] <aar> isolat3dsh33p, GRUB worked OK with 8.04 in this computer.
[21:34] <isolat3dsh33p> dbugger: I'm not sure then. Disable compiz should solve the problem. :)
[21:34] <dbugger> isolat3dsh33p, I'll try that, even though Im not sure it doesnt happen then too... and I'll lose my dearly beloved zoom :(
[21:34] <dbugger> isolat3dsh33p, but I guess it's my only option ... thanks for the help
[21:34] <juank> alguien q me ayude a ver mi partición ntfs de win en xubuntu....
[21:35] <isolat3dsh33p> dbugger: You can install compiz-fusion-icon to easily enable and disable compiz :D
[21:35] <xiong> I'm certain that there is a serious issue with my install of 'libxml-sax-perl'. I can't even seem to remove it with synaptic. Is there a nuclear option??
[21:35] <Deviouz> what to do when gdm locks me out?? it happend twice now:/
[21:35] <MrKeuner> hello, is there a way to uninstall all the packages installed after basic installation?
[21:35] <isolat3dsh33p> dbugger: no problem ;)
[21:35] <dbugger> isolat3dsh33p, yeah, but it's so easy that I forget to disable before opening a video, it's pretty much the same :D
[21:36] <dbugger> Ciaoo ppl
[21:36] <dbugger> and Merry Xmas, btw
[21:36] <isolat3dsh33p> dbugger: just wait for 10.04... Just a few months left :)
[21:37] <mobi-sheep> MrKeuner: Uninstall the packages you installed.
[21:37] <dbugger> isolat3dsh33p, I wont hold my breath. Probably this will remain. Also happened in 9.04
[21:37] <juank> someone that help me to see my windows partition in xubuntu
[21:37] <Pelo> afternoon folks  , anyone know anything about ssh keygen ? i'M having problems iwth mine it's no longer working

[21:37] <sharif> Happy Holidays Everyone :)

[21:37] <dbugger> ciao!
[21:37] <Pelo> juank,   sudo apt-get install ntfs-config , or some such
[21:38] <juank> thanks
[21:38] <guntbert> Deviouz: in what way does it lock you out? do you get a username prompt? are you asked for your password?
[21:38] <MrKeuner> mobi-sheep, yes how can I do that
[21:38] <juank> it's the first time that I use linux
[21:38] <guntbert> !ask | sharif
[21:38] <tego> wanna know how to scan ip  on my local network
[21:38] <isolat3dsh33p> !hi | juank
[21:38] <mobi-sheep> MrKeuner: sudo aptitude purge <packageName>
[21:39] <guntbert> tego: you want nmap
[21:39] <MrKeuner> mobi-sheep, and what should I tyoe instead of  <packageName>?
 I had it set to log me in automaticly, but then suddenly the gdm login manager start to show up, and when I enter my name and passw Im being kinked back out again
[21:39] <xiong> Argh! Does this make any sense at all: http://bash.pastebin.com/d3180c60b
[21:39] <mobi-sheep> MrKeuner: The packages you installed after the basic Ubuntu installation.
[21:39] <morgan> hello all
[21:39] <MrKeuner> mobi-sheep, and what are those?
[21:39] <Deviouz> then I dont lnow what to do? I had to reinstall twice now
[21:40] <mobi-sheep> MrKeuner: I don't know. What did you install?
[21:40] <MrKeuner> mobi-sheep, you don't have to answer if you don't know the answer to a question
[21:40] <sharif> How I could be able to control bandwidth with Internet connection sharing In Ubuntu, Is this possible or there software to do that ??
[21:41] <mobi-sheep> !prayer | MrKeuner
[21:41] <guntbert> Deviouz: strange - I'd say try to change your password (from the recovery system) - then disable that auto login for a while and see what happens
[21:41] <Athar> So, on my home partition I have 1265 GB free and 1197 GB available. What's the difference between "free" and "available"?
[21:42] <xiong> MrKeuner, If you'll allow me: You're asking how to remove packages X..Z; mobi-sheep told you. Perhaps you want to ask, 'How do I find out which packages I installed?'
[21:42] <crazygir_> hiya, I'm trying to setup a new wacom tablet on 9.10.. I haven't really found any config help pertaining to 9.10 as it looks like 9.10 should just figure it all out. From what I can tell, it doesn't look like hal/the system is recognizing the tablet (or doens't have support built in). I have the wacom-tools and x11-input wacom pagackes installed but don't see the fdi configurations you would expect
[21:42] <Deviouz> yes, maybe, I keep wonder if gdm is some beta version because it looks like crap
[21:42] <crazygir_> any thoughts?
[21:42] <xiong> I still don't understand this: http://bash.pastebin.com/d3180c60b -- The uninstallation seems to be failing because I haven't uninstalled yet??
[21:42] <juank> Pelo, after doing that is some other thing that do I have to do?
[21:43] <andreas> will mal meine kamera testen
[21:43] <juank> about looking ntfs
[21:43] <guntbert> Deviouz: I'm pretty certain that you set something wrong somewhere
[21:43] <Pelo> juank, look in the menu , under application > system tools,  run that an it should add your windows partiton to /etc/fstab ,  reboot and you should see it
[21:43] <guntbert> !de | andreas
 how do I access the change password if I cant login first?
[21:44] <guntbert> Deviouz: step 1) try from the console - press <ctrl><alt>F2 - you get a login prompt - try to login there
[21:44] <shine1> hi all!   I tried to use vncviewer and remote desktop to remotely graphically control my ubuntu machine in the office from home,  it is really slow,  the communication is pretty good between two winXP machines, any one know to improve?
[21:45] <transtead> how do I register my nick again
thanks for the help
[21:45] <Pelo>  /msg nickserv register email password
[21:46] <guntbert> Deviouz: did that work? if not we are not finished yet :-)
[21:46] <transtead> and I type that right into the chat window?
[21:46] <pyrak> given that my new lenovo netbook has an atom processor, does this make netbook remix a better choice?
[21:46] <Pelo> afternoon folks  , anyone know anything about ssh keygen ? i'M having problems iwth mine it's no longer working
[21:46] <pyrak> or will support be the same with normal ubuntu?
[21:46] <niek33> does somebody know something about irssi irc client?
[21:46] <guntbert> transtead: better use some other window of your client
[21:46] <MrKeuner> xiong, oh I see, but wasn't that obvious :)
[21:46] <juank> now, I write a name for my partition but I can't apply the change, is there a format to set a name for it?
 Im not having that problem now, I already had to reinstall ubuntu, but atleast now I know what to do when it happends next time
[21:47] <legend2440> Athar: According to the System Monitor  Help   Free  amount of space not in use  Available   Amount of space which can be used   Still not very clear to me
[21:47] <peann> hey, have issues with sound on a new install of ubuntu, could somone help? it's a nvidia sound card, and it lists fine with asoundconf
[21:47] <guntbert> Deviouz: ok - have fun
[21:48] <Pelo> peann, try   sudo adduser audio ,  that was the problem with the install I did yesterday
[21:48] <peann> audio already exists
[21:48] <xiong> MrKeuner, The professor walked into the lecture hall and chalked a proposition in symbolic logic, saying, "Now, you'll agree that's obvious." Then he scratched his head a moment, rushed out of the room, and came back half an hour later, saying, "Yes, I was right; it *is* obvious."
[21:49] <mobi-sheep> MrKeuner: aptitude  --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' -- It'll give you a list of installed packages. Compare that with ubuntu-desktop by "aptitude show ubuntu-desktop" -- Not everything *ought* to be purged because of dependencies.  Also, you could try "history | grep install" to see a partial list.
[21:49] <vm> !offtopic > xiong
[21:49] <Cappy> merry christmas everyone. =)
[21:49] <peann> i have configured it to use ALSA for playback - it tests fine, doesn't display an error - but just no sound.
[21:49] <juank> ubottu, Is there a format to set the name to my win partition?
[21:51] <peann> any ideas?
[21:51] <Cappy> got a fresh install of 9.10 and the video is quite laggy [dual core 1.6ghz, 1gb ram, radeon mobility 200m]
[21:51] <guntbert> !enter  peann
[21:51] <guntbert> !enter  | peann
[21:51] <xiong> vm, Actually, my comment was pretty much on-topic, I'd think. But what exactly is the point of contesting the issue? Take it up with MrKeuner, he has the issue.
[21:52] <niek33> does somebody know something about irssi irc client?
[21:52] <tritium> niek33: what about it?
[21:52] <Seeker`> I know something about it
[21:52] <niek33> I am new to irssi, i am running it on ubuntu server tritium
[21:52] <X-Sleepy-X> !enter | guntbert
[21:52] <BluesKaj> Cappy, check out the latest fglrx driver for your graphics card , you may need to install an open source driver
[21:52] <niek33> I want to know how i can turn the joined, left messages off
[21:52]  * X-Sleepy-X smiles
[21:52] <shingoki> Ok, so you know how the gtk guys decided to break a huge number of applications? Is there a way to set a system-wide "GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1" so that I can fix everything at once rather than doing eclipse, azureus, flash, etc. one by one as I discover more weirdness?
[21:53] <niek33> tritium: it is very annoying:X
[21:53] <Cappy> BluesKaj, i can get the driver from synaptic
[21:53] <guntbert> X-Sleepy-X: my typing skills are *not* questionable - they are inferior
[21:53] <tritium> niek33: I find it quite useful, particularly in combination with ssh and screen.
[21:53] <X-Sleepy-X> guntbert: =)
[21:53] <niek33> tritium: the user has joined messages? i think they are very annouying
[21:53] <Zlobi1> Hello, I am trying to set up Icecast2 server + Ices2 with ALSA and player. All runs fine with ices-playlist.xml, no sound with ices-alsa, installed soma alsa packages, please help

[21:54] <P1R11> My usb drive is not showing anymore, I have important files there..Is anyone able to help me?
[21:54] <juank> is there someone that help me to set a name for my win partition, it seems that it needs a specific format, Im new using linux, then I dont know how to do it!! please help
[21:55] <shawn_> X-Sleepy-X, I got it working
[21:55] <BluesKaj> Cappy, make sure you remove the old driver first
[21:55] <Zlobi1> P1R11: Try Disk Mounter, if on Gnome
[21:55] <tritium> niek33: yes
[21:55] <Zlobi1> if it is not just a gui, might help
[21:55] <s3ns3s> ...
[21:55] <mobi-sheep> niek33: You can find Irssi documentation at http://irssi.org/
[21:56] <Zlobi1> juank: install win, then liux, it is all fine
[21:56] <X-Sleepy-X> shawn_: That's great! Could you please post me a private message explaining how to do it so I can let others know?
[21:56] <Zlobi1> win needs ntfs file system
[21:56] <vap0r> im trying to install a plugin for pidgin, but i have to compile it. im in the directory i unpacked the archive into and i typed "make" and pressed enter but it just gave me a bunch of error messages. what am I doing wrong?
[21:56] <transtead> i'm a noob from the MS world: how do I force close a window that's stuck. I've attempted to close it several times using the gui button and ALT+F4.  In the other op systm, I would use ctrl+alt+delete, choose the process or app and push delete.  Is there something similar in Ubuntu?
[21:56] <juank> I got a virus in win and I reinstalled it again and the virus still there
[21:56] <guntbert> !compile | vap0r
[21:56] <juank> then I decided to not use win anymore

[21:57] <martijn_> hi, i have installed daisy under opensuse, but i cannot get the panel on bottum there, see this=> http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/Daisy?content=102077 do you have any idea how to fix this?
[21:57] <Zlobi1> vapOr: sudo ./configure first
[21:57] <guntbert> vap0r: usually there is a README
[21:57] <mobi-sheep> transtead: xkill and click on the window.
[21:57] <juank> just that I need to look for my files
[21:57] <juank> in windows
[21:57] <juank> partition
[21:57] <vap0r> guntbert: im following the directions as laid out EXACTLY in the readme
[21:57] <Hydrosis> transtead: add the "Force Quite" app to a pannel.  Right click the panel and Add to Panel
[21:57] <transtead> "xkill" in console?
[21:57] <guntbert> Zlobi1: configure should need no sudo
[21:57] <mobi-sheep> transtead: Yes.
[21:57] <Hydrosis> killall in console transtead
[21:57] <Zlobi1> juank: Linux reads NTFS (win) fine
[21:57] <xiong> Okay, it all seems to boil down to this: libxml-sax-perl is corrupted in some way; libxml-sax-perl is required for apt-get to work properly; therefore apt-get cannot be used to remove the corrupt libxml-sax-perl or to reinstall it. What now?
[21:58] <tritium> niek33: http://clintecker.com/disable-irc-msgs.html
[21:58] <chazco> Hi.. how can I record the sound from another application?
[21:58] <transtead> "killall" won't kill this chat??
[21:58] <Zlobi1> guntbert: yes, but does not hurt :P
[21:58] <Hydrosis> juank: all win partitiosn are visible in Ubuntu by default for me
[21:58] <guntbert> vap0r: then the author probably made a mistake, did you run ./configure ?
[21:58] <Hydrosis> chazco, run line-in to headphone and hit record.
[21:58] <juank> yes I know, but I need a name to my win partition, I cant set it
[21:59] <Zlobi1> vapOr: or it is wrong architecture
[21:59] <tritium> niek33: also, you can type "/help ignore" for more info
[21:59] <juank> I dont know why... is there a format to do it
[21:59] <guntbert> Zlobi1: could hurt - always assume only as little priviledges as possible
[21:59] <juank> ???
[21:59] <Hydrosis> juank, your win partiton should have a default name.
[21:59] <vap0r> guntbert: what is ./configure for?
[21:59] <chazco> Hydrosis - Looking for a more software based approach, but that idea seems to be the only one likely to work...
[22:00] <juank> the "apply" button doesn't let me set the name
[22:00] <vap0r> it says no such directory for that command. whatever that was for.
[22:00] <guntbert> vap0r: *if* there is a configure file it sets up the compilation environment and creates the make file
[22:00] <juank> Im ignorant with linux
[22:00] <Hydrosis> juank, we all were at one time.
[22:00] <transtead> oooo... "xkill" is nice!!:-D
[22:00] <Zlobi1> guntbert: sidenote - I have passed thru a living hell thanks to sudo and I am tired of typing the pass each time and I know you insist on such security practice, so I run the shortest way :P
[22:00] <vap0r> guntbert: Note: in the readme it says: "This is a source distribution and requires a working compiler toolchain."
[22:00] <Hydrosis> xkill is not the same as killall or pkill, though.
[22:01] <mobi-sheep> transtead: :-)
[22:01] <xiong> This is *really* bad. All sorts of things use XML and some, apparently, use the libxml-sax-perl parser. Therefore all of these things are broken.
[22:01] <mobi-sheep> transtead: You could add "Force Quit" applet in GNOME Panel too.
[22:01] <Hydrosis> mobi-sheep: I use that app, it's a MUST HAVE on linux machines since everything always crashes or freezes for no apparent reason.
[22:01] <xiong> transtead, Thumbs up on the 'Force Quit' panel applet.
[22:01] <transtead> mobi-sheep: the linux learning curve is steep... but worth it, I can see already
[22:02] <juank> then is there a format that let me set the name for the partition? it says... /dev/sda5 <set mount point> I dont know what wirte in that space
[22:02] <Hydrosis> transtead: you'll learn so much about computers that you'll be the computer guy where you go.  Get ready for countless hours fixing relative's computers.

How can I find out the IP address of the wireless one? 'mtr' doesn't give it to me
[22:03] <Zlobi1> juank: partition name shouldn't affect readability, like you can be called Peter or Harry or Bill, but you will be the same man
[22:03] <Jerkman> oh hai, if anyone here has an ipod mini 6GB 2generation, please reply
[22:03] <Hydrosis> pppoe_dude go go google and search "What is my IP address" or you could also search "localhost IP address"

[22:05] <pppoe_dude> Hydrosis, it's a local IP address i am looking for
[22:05] <juank> I didn't want to ofend anybody
[22:05] <guntbert> vap0r: what version of ubuntu?
[22:06] <vap0r> guntbert: the latest and greatest
[22:06] <tritium> juank: no problem

[22:07] <adac> Is there a power save option that disables compiz automatically when I'm running on battery?
[22:07] <Zlobi1> juank: Easy, I was like you, 9 years of win, now I am almost having fun :)
[22:07] <fanti> hm ubuntu disables the root account by default ?
[22:07] <P1R11> Zlobi1: Its possible
[22:07] <guntbert> vap0r: type sudo aptitude update (to update the database), then sudo aptitude install build-essential
[22:07] <adac> If not, wouldn't that make sense?
[22:07] <deserteagle> Merry Christmas!
[22:07] <P1R11> Zlobi1: Please tell me that I can recover the data...Its really important
[22:07] <bastid_raZor> fanti: yes, you are correct
[22:07] <deserteagle> question: how can I enable automatic login via command line? thanks!
[22:07] <Zlobi1> P1R11: Either finda win PC and safe remove or check for a forcr mount command in google

[22:08] <Spaniel> doez anyone know why the cube in Compiz fusion is opening as a wall instead of a cube
[22:08] <P1R11> Zolbi1: Will do. Thanks
[22:08] <Datz> could someone help me with xorg.conf?
[22:08] <mobi-sheep> adac: I would imagine it is possible. You'd have to look for the script and add that to the command. I'd suggest for you to write your own script, that way, you can add/remove more than just compiz.
[22:08] <bastid_raZor> Spaniel: possibly #compiz will have faster more accurate answers.
[22:09] <Zlobi1> Hello, I am trying to set up Icecast2 server + Ices2 with ALSA and player. All runs fine with ices-playlist.xml, no sound with ices-alsa, installed soma alsa packages, please help
[22:10] <vap0r> guntbert: whoops I already had it installed, but for new trouble, for some mystical reason the package appears in synaptic when i type the first 5 letters, then disappears when i type the hyphen. I love ubuntu.
[22:10] <Zlobi1> Hello, I am trying to set up Icecast2 server + Ices2 with ALSA and player. All runs fine with ices-playlist.xml, no sound with ices-alsa, installed some alsa packages, Google not good in this case, please help
[22:10] <Cappy> reading the forums support for radeon 200m was dropped in march 09, and that i should be using the opensource drivers, is that what would have been installed by default with karmic?
[22:10] <Guest30044> can someoen help me enable my wireless it does not recognize on this laptop
[22:10] <Zlobi1> guntbert: It is auto-complete
[22:11] <vap0r> Zlobi1: did you mean vap0r ?
[22:11] <MrKeuner> mobi-sheep, sorry if i offended you, thought you were kidding with me
[22:11] <skitzo> hey you guys
[22:11] <transtead> how do I setup specific applications to startup upon login e.g. Pidgin, Gmail notif, etc...)?
[22:11] <guntbert> vap0r: I think its time to !paste the output of your make attempt
[22:11] <kowalski> hi! ;D
[22:12] <Zlobi1> Guest30044: Update kernels or network part of them, be careful
[22:12] <soreau> Spaniel: You need to go into gnome-appearance-properties and set Extra or Custom in the Visual Effects tab. Or if you have ccsm installed, enable Rotate Cube and it will disable Wall
[22:12] <bastid_raZor> !startup | transtead
[22:12] <mobi-sheep> MrKeuner: It is okay. If you have anything else you want to follow up on, feel free to ask away. :-)
[22:12] <Guest30044> Zlobil how do i update/
[22:12] <Zlobi1> Yes vapOr, sry
[22:12] <adac> mobi-sheep, guess it wouldn't be that hard to write. But in my opinion this 'script' should be added to the powersave options
[22:13] <Zlobi1> Guest30044: Well, sudo apt-get update
[22:13] <skitzo> um.. i've been trying to completely hide my windows filesystem from ubuntu for awhile now with no look however i found something online in one of the forums that actually works however im a newb with all this code stuff so if somebody could have a quick look and give us a quick guide i would really appreciate it..
[22:13] <Zlobi1> Guest30044: Well, sudo aptitude update
[22:13] <skitzo> *luck
[22:13] <Zlobi1> Guest30044: Then start the GUI updater
[22:14] <skitzo> http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8482719
[22:14] <vap0r> guntbert: http://pastebin.org/68700
[22:14] <Guest30044> Zlobil, i did sudo apt-get update already what GUI updater are you talking about?
[22:14] <ssv1994> hello, does adobe flash player include mp3 and mpeg codecs?
[22:14] <mobi-sheep> adac: You can request for it on Ubuntu Brainstorm. I recall somebody requesting the power manager to have "Do Nothing" feature too.  Also, to disable compiz to shave few minutes off? While you're at it, two gnome-panels is using more processes than one gnome-panel. You get the idea.
[22:15] <Cappy> ssv1994, you need ubuntu-restircted-extras to fill in those gaps
[22:15] <grawity> mobi-sheep: Compiz does a lot of GFX stuff; two gnome-panels means nothing, they probably even share libraries.
[22:15] <guntbert> vap0r: I assume you *have* pidgin installed?
[22:15] <vap0r> guntbert: yes
[22:15] <linuxghost> Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0cf3:0002 Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5523 (no firmware)
[22:16] <ssv1994> oh, I've just downloaded the player from the adobe web site and installed it, does it install mp3 or mpeg codecs?
[22:16] <skitzo> anybody?
[22:16] <Guest30044> Zlobil, i did sudo apt-get update already what GUI updater are you talking about?
[22:16] <adac> mobi-sheep, sorry don't understand the last gnome-panel part.
[22:16] <Cappy> ssv1994, not that im aware of, try doing "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras" to fill int he codec gaps.
[22:17] <ssv1994> ok
[22:17] <fanti> hm when having the root account disabled, why is there still a directory /root ?
[22:17] <guntbert> vap0r: I'm not certain but it could be that the author assumed you have pidgin complied from source too - I really suggest to ask the author
[22:17] <fanti> is it safe to remove /root ?
[22:17] <linuxghost> does someone knows how to install AR5523 0cf3:0002 Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5523 Firmware????
[22:17] <guntbert> *compiled
[22:17] <grawity> fanti: The root account still exists. It always exists. And it has a home directory.
[22:17] <gdb> fanti: The root account isn't disabled, it's locked.  You can become root whenever you like and root's home directory is /root.
[22:18] <grawity> fanti: It's just that it has no password, so is locked out... But even when you use 'sudo', you access it.
[22:18] <vap0r> guntbert: ok thanks
[22:18] <fanti> thanks
[22:18] <guntbert> vap0r: Good luck :-)
[22:18] <grawity> fanti: In other words, better to keep it.
[22:18] <resno1> guntbert: the restore got it working. but now i cant use the trackpad and sound is not working
[22:18] <linuxghost> does someone knows how to install AR5523 firmware  0cf3:0002 Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5523 Firmware????
[22:18] <P1R11> Zlobi1: I did it, when to windows, unistall and install de usb drive, detected, and it shows now, but if I try to access it, it said that it doesnt have a format, and that I should format it....Is there anything I can do beside formating the usb drive
[22:18] <mobi-sheep> adac: Do you use htop? There are a list of processes that you probably does not need to have it running such as gnome-screensaver. I have that package uninstalled.
[22:18] <vap0r> guntbert: thanks
[22:19] <skitzo> :|
[22:19] <adac> mobi-sheep, I see now!
[22:19] <guntbert> resno1: please state you problem to the channel again - there are a lot newcomers
[22:20] <resno1> guntbert: ok, will do :)
[22:20] <Cappy> are the radeon open source drivers used by the default install of karmic? or do i need to install them seperatly
[22:20] <linuxghost> carlos td bem?
[22:20] <linuxghost> does someone knows how to install AR5523 firmware  0cf3:0002 Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5523 Firmware????
[22:20] <resno1> so, i recently updated from 9.04 to 9.10. after completing the update, my touchpad and sound stop working. when i try to run an update, my screen goes black and starts flashing random letters.
[22:21] <Guest26440> epale no hablan español
[22:21] <tritium> Cappy: open source.  You'd have to use the restricted-drivers-manager to install the fglrx drivers.

[22:21] <resno1> !es Guest26440
[22:21] <fatface> how do i get rid of this gpg error that pops up in synaptic?
[22:21] <fanti> hmm another question (sorry i'm new to ubuntu). at installation time, i'm ask if my home directory should be encrypted or not. can somebody tell what kind of encryption is used for my home (which algorithm and key-length), and is it possible to open another's encrypted  home directory  when having the password? e.g. to copy something as root from a user's home directory.
[22:21] <resno1> sound and pad worked prior to update
[22:22] <adac> mobi-sheep, Do you think disabling compiz while I'm on battery really would save me only a very few minutes?
[22:22] <Datz> hi, is anyone around to help me with my graphics driver?
[22:22] <tritium> fanti: the user decrypts his home directory upon login.  Not even root can do this without the user's password.
[22:22] <Cappy> tritium, i was reading the forums and see that support for mobility 200m was dropped in mid 2009.
[22:23] <mobi-sheep> adac: I don't know. I like having compiz running. You would have to do a trial run. :)
[22:23] <tritium> Cappy: could be, I don't know
[22:23] <fanti> tritium: yeah, but if root has the password (e.g. for a data recovery scenario)
[22:23] <shawn__> X-Sleepy-X, Yep it did it again
[22:24] <X-Sleepy-X> shawn__:
[22:24] <X-Sleepy-X> shawn__: ok
[22:24] <resno1> i recently updated from 9.04 to 9.10. after completing the update, my touchpad and sound stop working. when i try to run an update, my screen goes black and starts flashing random letters.  Touchpad and sound worked prior. Is there any way to fix?
[22:24] <sharif> Is ubuntu have shorewall ?
[22:25] <fata_erro> why doesn't my sudo password not work
[22:25] <mobi-sheep> adac: Have you thought about buying extended battery cells? I have one for my netbook. I don't really know its battery life but I have seen "10 hours" and I don't know if I want to believe that. :o
[22:25] <adac> mobi-sheep, :) Well maybe it would not bad to have an "advanced" power management. Mean not only compiz to control with but multiple apps and services or gnome-panels
[22:25] <resno1> fata_erro: what are you trying to do? in some cases the sudo doesnt pass to another application
[22:25] <fata_erro> i'm typingg my root password
[22:25] <tritium> fata_erro: if you can login, it works.  it's your user password
[22:25] <guntbert> fata_erro: how are you trying to use sudo?

[22:28] <mobi-sheep> adac: It is easier to write a script.  There are only few parameters. That way, you could do "metacity --replace, killall <processes>, that's about it."  Eventually, you might realized you don't really need few processes in first place and started to weed them out.

[23:05] <jpds> fata_erro: Yes, that's strange...
[23:05] <mobi-sheep> queso: If you're familiar with ftp, then filezilla, perhaps.
[23:06] <mneptok> queso: rsync

[23:06] <krezlyn> for example, /home/username/storage is really /media/storage
[23:07] <mneptok> fata_erro: if you type "groups <username>" what does it say?

[23:14] <karioke> Now when I start the installation (after booting up in the live cd) I get the error: An attempt to configure apt to install additional packages from the CD failed
[23:14] <ai9371> WMP54GS  = linksys wireless NIC
[23:14] <legend2440> Cappy: amd has stopped supporting a lot of their cards so the only option is the open source drivers
[23:14] <graelb> mneptok, Slart, Thanks guys, i'll get on it
[23:14] <karioke> Can anyone please help me out
[23:14] <ai9371> why did you make a customized installation cd
[23:15] <ai9371> why dont you just download the newest version of ubuntu iso and install it
[23:15] <Cappy> legend2440, thats what i was asking before, but everyone told me to install the proprietary ones, are the open source drivers the ones used by default in karmic?
[23:15] <karioke> ai9371: I needed to have some education related package in it to be distributed to few schools in my area.
[23:16] <dremits_> hi everyone. i'm getting into customizing my ubuntu box and i installed a complete theme with icons and fonts and all that but i'm wondering after looking at gnome-look.com, whats the difference between compiz and gtk themes?

[23:16] <legend2440> Cappy: yes  open  system>administration>hardware drivers  if there are any proprietary drivers available for your card they will be there and you can activate them
[23:17] <HomeBoy_25> hi
[23:17] <legend2440> Cappy: what ati card you have?
[23:17] <ai9371> anyone used WMP54GS without ndiswrapper
[23:17] <Cappy> legend2440, ok, only my wifi drivers are mentioned there. so maybe my gfx problem is somewhere else
[23:17] <ai9371> WMP54GS = linksys wireless g

[23:18] <mojpseudonim> whois Cappy
[23:18] <HomeBoy_25> i need some assistance with my newly installed ubuntu os to my laptop... can anyone help me up?
[23:18] <morgan> should i restart after changing swappiness value?
[23:18] <soreau> dremits_: There is no compiz theme per se. There are gtk themes, compiz window decorator themes and other things that can be combined to make an overall theme
[23:18] <ai9371> whats the problem
[23:18] <HomeBoy_25> i'm having trouble installing my mobile broadband software to ubuntu
[23:19] <ai9371> mobile broadband?!
[23:19] <morgan> k. i ll restart anyway )
[23:19] <dremits_> soreau: thanks
[23:19] <ai9371> you mean like verizon or att
[23:19] <ai9371> net card
[23:20] <HomeBoy_25> sorry, im not from the US but i think yes
[23:20] <legend2440> Cappy: i'm not finding any proprietary drivers for that card     http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx
[23:20] <bastid_raZor> Cappy: have you tried installing the radeon driver?
[23:20] <dremits_> HomeBoy_25: Are you in uk? What is the make and network of the USB?
[23:20] <jenia> can anyone tell me: when I use the ifconfig command, I get the inet and inet6 info
[23:21] <jenia> which is the ip address?
[23:21] <HomeBoy_25> mobile broadband is like a USB dongle that you attach to the laptop/computer and connects you to the internet via 3G or 3.5G
[23:21] <iceroot> jenia: inet adress
[23:21] <bastid_raZor> jenia: inet is your ip
[23:21] <sryque> jenia:  inet addr: is the IP address and inet6 addr: is the IP v6 address
[23:21] <Cappy> bastid_raZor, i dont know what radeon driver to install, everywhere i read tells me NOT TO INSTALL it, yet people in here tell me to install. so im quite confused
[23:21] <iceroot> jenia: inet adress is ipv4  inet6 adrress is ipv6
[23:21] <HomeBoy_25> when i use it with windows, it automatically installs itself
[23:22] <jenia> okay thanks my friends
[23:22] <ai9371> I cant get my WMP54GS to work without ndiswrapper
[23:22] <bastid_raZor> Cappy: well, you can try it and if it does not work simply uninstall. no harm done.
[23:23] <Cappy> bastid_raZor, last time i tried that, i resorted to blowing away the install and starting from scratch.
[23:23] <dremits_> HomeBoy_25: but you're not using windows. what is the make and model of the usb dongle?
[23:23] <bastid_raZor> Cappy: xserver-xorg-video-radeon  and radeonhd  ..
[23:23] <bastid_raZor> Cappy: if booting fails simply drop to shell and uninstall the exact package and reboot.
[23:23] <Cappy> this is the reason i keep going back to windows, it just works.
[23:23] <voss> hi, i've been here about 8 hours ago, writed about my problem with running Savage2
[23:23] <HomeBoy_25> dremits_: I'm using windows now since I can't have the internet work with ubuntu
[23:23] <Buuntu> how do I exclude certain files from a command like 'mv'?  say I'm using a wildcard but don't want one or two files
