[11:36] <jrib> Redcoil: not really, it's rebuilding a source package with a command or two in between
[11:36] <jrib> !source | Redcoil
[11:37] <Redcoil> jrib But for the patch to run, I must apply it to 10.10's source code and reinstall? Sorry for my noobiness :/
[11:38] <plokij> .
[11:38] <jrib> Redcoil: you must apply it to the source package containing whatever files the patch is for
[11:38] <jrib> Redcoil: and then install the resulting package you build, yes
[11:38] <Redcoil> jrib: I see.
[11:39] <sresu> I've guitar(acoustic) connected to PC's audio-in ports using normal method. Which package can help me record guitar?
[11:39] <Redcoil> jrib, now, if I must apply windfarm-pm121.patch to some Linux 2.6.24 source, I'd have to "sudo apt-get source linux" or something like that?
[11:39] <plokij> anything that can handle audio imports?
[11:40] <plokij> !help
[11:40] <sacarlson> sresu: I had to add a small amp to my gutar to make it work on my system and there are some cool software that you can use to add effects like ladspa
[11:41] <sresu> sacarlson: Well, to test it, first I need a sound recorder... any idea about that as well?
[11:41] <jrib> !kernel | Redcoil
[11:42] <jrib> Redcoil: kernel has special instructions
[11:42] <sacarlson> sresu: true I think qarecord is build in
[11:42] <Redcoil> jrib, I'll have a look at that, thanks.
[11:42] <sresu> sacarlson: hey, can I talk to you in private for a moment?
[11:43] <sacarlson> sresu: it should be found at Applications>sound & video>QArecord
[11:43] <sacarlson> sresu: sure
[11:43] <phox_> Hi! I am currently using WIN7, and want to create a ubuntu-partition and at boot choose which OS I want to start. I realise this might not be the correct forum for this, but whatever :) Got any good links on the matter? (been googleing a bit)
[11:44] <jrib> phox_: put your ubuntu disk in the drive, reboot
[11:44] <plokij> phox_: just install ubuntu normally and grub should take over mbr
[11:44] <Birdynumnum> is there a way to sync an iphone 4 using ubuntu 10.10? I Have tried installing the libimobile but keep getting the message "DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)" when I connect my iphone :-(
[11:44] <plokij> !dualboot | phox_
[11:45] <phox_> jrib and plokij: I am a somewhat experienced ubuntu user. Is it easy? I'm a bit worried about me screwing up :P
[11:45] <phox_> thx for the link
[11:45] <jrib> phox_: yes it's easy, just follow the instructions on the screen.  But you should have backups anyway just in case
[11:45] <plokij> phox_: its relatively easy
[11:46] <phox_> plokij and jrib: How will this look graphiclly everytime I boot up the system?
[11:46] <Redcoil> jrib, could I apply that patch using the update manager?
[11:46] <georg__> what about ubuntu 10.04LTS?
[11:46] <jayden> phox, google this: Burg
[11:46] <plokij> phox_: it will just be a text based interface
[11:47] <plokij> phox_: but like jayden suggested there is a graphical solution
[11:47] <jrib> Redcoil: no, unless the patch has been applied by someone else and put in the repository.  Why do you think you need this patch?  What's the bug number?
[11:47] <phox_> plokij: will the interface be "from" ubuntu or windows? Don't know it it works that way, but I hope you know what i mean
[11:47] <georg__> http://www.stadt-burg.de/cms/
[11:47] <phox_> jrib: yeah burg looks cool
[11:47] <Birdynumnum> is there a way to sync an iphone 4 using ubuntu 10.10? I Have tried installing the libimobile but keep getting the message "DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)" when I connect my iphone
[11:48] <plokij> phox_: from ubuntu, as part of the /boot partition ro directory
[11:48] <plokij> *or
[11:48] <burg> thank you
[11:48] <Redcoil> jrib, I must apply it because the fans of my mac are buggy pretty much all versions of Ubuntu.
[11:48] <phox_> burg: hahaha that's hillarious
[11:49] <jrib> Redcoil: my second question?
[11:49] <Redcoil> jrib, looking it up.
[11:50] <wmoraes> instalar programas no big linux
[11:50] <skraito> hi guys
[11:50] <plokij> hi
[11:50] <skraito> how do you parse shell message to syslog
[11:51] <skraito> any command in ubuntu for that ?
[11:51] <skraito> like lets say i want to send message to syslog
[11:51] <skraito> log skraito login from command line ?
[11:51] <skraito> log skraito login from command line
[11:51] <skraito> hi plokij
[11:52] <ranjan> Hi all, is there anyone who has tried RIS in Linux here?
[11:52] <gobbe> skraito: logget 'something to log'
[11:52] <gobbe> skraito: logger i mean
[11:53] <plokij> !factoid
[11:53] <Redcoil> jrib, where would I look up the bug number?
[11:53] <skraito> nvm got it
[11:53] <jrib> Redcoil: bugs.ubuntu.com
[11:56] <Redcoil> jrib, it doesn't seem to be there.
[11:57] <Redcoil> jrib, but a quick google confirms that other iMac owners have got similar problems, and installing that patch is recommended on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/iMacG5iSight?action=show&redirect=iMacG5revC
[11:57] <Redcoil> jrib, so I'd say it's known
[11:58] <jrib> Redcoil: the point is the first thing you should do is check if the patch hasn't been applied already or superceded by some other patch...
[11:59] <jayden> is xorg.conf even used anymore?
[11:59] <plokij> jayden: not really, though some hardware does require it to work, but the majority is now depracated
[12:00] <jayden> plokij, so if I want to turn off mouse acceleration, xorg.conf isn't the way to go?
[12:00] <plokij> jayden: i can't confirm, but you can try if you really need that
[12:01] <jayden> thanks
[12:01] <Sandking> any magic mouse users here?
[12:01] <Sandking> i'm looking for a silent mouse and this looks like best option
[12:02] <phox_> So I used put in my usb-memory at 16GB and ubuntu says it only has 3Gb. What the heck? Have never seen this before. It's a U3.
[12:02] <Redcoil> jrib, so, what do I do now? I'd compile a new kernel if necessary.
[12:02] <jrib> Redcoil: ok
[12:04] <scarra3> Sup
[12:05] <BajK_> Does anybody of you have experiences with LG Flatron W2453 TQ 24 inch TFT screen? I never got it working when it is attached to the secondary display input. When its connected as primary it works just fine. Now I read at Amazon that it is a problem with that monitor (I thought it was Linux' fault)
[12:05] <phox_> Does anybody recomend using Wubi when installing ubuntu on a windows system?
[12:05] <plokij> i like pron :D
[12:05] <plokij> who else does
[12:05] <plokij> *porn
[12:06] <jrib> !ot | plokij
[12:06] <plokij> i blame my cat
[12:06] <llutz> phox_: better to use a native install
[12:06] <plokij> jrib: sorry.
[12:06] <plokij> internet tourettes#
[12:06] <rs0832> phox_: it is better to install separately
[12:08] <phox_> jeez downloading ubuntu from the normal homepage is slow.. Any1 got any good links? I live in Sweden. Piratebay?
[12:08] <plokij> phox_: use the torrent from the official site
[12:08] <llutz> phox_: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#bt
[12:09] <phox_> llutz: which one should i choose? I have a AMD 32 bits system.
[12:09] <Last_Biscuit> hi all

[12:10] <bullgard>  [Lucid] I sent my Thinkpad T42 to hibernate. When I woke it up '~$ route' was empty and I had to run '~$ sudo dhclient eth0' in order to get ADSL Internet access. Why does this computer not establish automatically Internet access as it did in the past?
[12:10] <phox_> llutz: thx, that dit it.
[12:11] <Last_Biscuit> i am facing issue wireless communication b/w tplink TL wn727N wireless adaptor and netgear router i got connected with network but there is no internet service either i can access my router any help ?

[12:11] <acicula> bullgard: does the problem persist when you reboot? is the network applet visible in the taskbar?
[12:12] <rrr> join #rawtherapee

[12:16] <bullgard> acicula: The Network Manager Applet is visible. The problem persisted when I I just rebooted.
[12:19] <acicula> bullgard: try right clicking it and editing the eth0 connection and verify its settings are set to auto? also check /etc/network/interfaces that it has no configuration for eth0
[12:19] <Last_Biscuit> i am facing issue wireless communication b/w tplink TL wn727N wireless adaptor and netgear router i got connected with network but there is no internet service either i can access my router any help ?
[12:21] <scarra3> Anyone have a sony vaio running 10.10 that has an alps touchpad because for some reason my touchpad isn't working
[12:22] <noonian> Last_Biscuit, that issue has to do with either your router, your modem, or your service provider
[12:23] <Last_Biscuit> noonain i can use the same package on windows working flawless
[12:24] <Last_Biscuit> on linux there is an issue either do u have proper driver or some thing is theri, i got signal strenght on 10.4 while no signals on 9.10
[12:24] <noonian> Last_Biscuit, thats strange if you are on the network
[12:25] <wmorri> nonian: I disagree with you on that. I have found some good information in the forums
[12:26] <wmorri> Last_Biscuit: Have a look at http://newyork.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9901879
[12:26] <Last_Biscuit> wmorri, can u provide me the link
[12:26] <sacarlson> Last_Biscuit: so what chip is it we have?  this can be seen with lspci or lsusb
[12:26] <Last_Biscuit> ralink
[12:27] <Last_Biscuit> i tried it wmorri but i got this error

[12:27] <Last_Biscuit> the same error mentioned in the post
[12:27] <bullgard> permanently
[12:27] <Last_Biscuit> sacarlson, it has ralink
[12:28] <sacarlson> Last_Biscuit: that looks like a good link that wmorri gave you,  oh I have ralink  but what chip?
[12:29] <Lasselingon> Hi, Im writeing a serial communication program and is wondering if there is a way to set the fifo buffer in ubuntu? or is it hardware specifik?
[12:29] <wmorri> Last_Biscuit: have you tried sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-wireless-*enter_name_of_distro-generic
[12:30] <Last_Biscuit> wmorri, let me connect it with wire i am using laptop builtin wireless
[12:30] <wmorri> Last_Biscuit: okay
[12:30] <Last_Biscuit> *enter_name_of_distro-generic ?
[12:30] <Last_Biscuit> should i write the same ?
[12:31] <Last_Biscuit> and i am not getting you question about the chip, my usb adapter is from TP LInk model LT- WN-727N
[12:31] <Last_Biscuit> wm_scott,
[12:31] <Last_Biscuit> wmorri,
[12:31] <wmorri> Last_Biscuit: the post has sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic
[12:32] <Last_Biscuit> yes i tried it
[12:32] <Last_Biscuit> but i got the same error on it as well
[12:32] <wmorri> Last_Biscuit: I want you to take out the lucid part and enter the name of the current version
[12:32] <Last_Biscuit> oh i am using 9.10 right now
[12:32] <wmorri> Last_Biscuit: well that makes a difference then
[12:33] <Last_Biscuit> should i try it on 10.4 ?
[12:34] <acicula> bullgard: not sure, typically it is on by default even after a reboot
[12:34] <sacarlson> Last_Biscuit: as stated in 07:26:29pm my time the chip set can be seen with the commands  lspci or lsusb depending on if it's a usb device or buss card type,  but I would just go for the backport,  it shoud fix it
[12:34] <acicula> bullgard: maybe its a setting in the gnome registry somewhere, i wouldnt know but its at least something specific to google on
[12:35] <wmorri> Last_Biscuit: Why do you need to connect with a second wireless card if you have connection with your internal wireless?
[12:35] <bullgard> acicula: What does mean "to google on"? Can you say that phrase in other words, please?
[12:35] <Last_Biscuit> wmorri, i need to connect my desktop computer with a wireless link

[12:37] <jrib> !grub2
[12:37] <KM0201> Nicolaus: thats pretty common... because windows overwrites the mbr
[12:37] <jrib> Nicolaus: follow those RestoreGrub instructions
[12:37] <Last_Biscuit> sacarlson, thank you sir let me check
[12:38] <Nicolaus> i am on the live cd now and i am trying to get it back
[12:38] <Nicolaus> how do i run the live cd terminal as admin
[12:38] <jrib> bullgard: that's how I believe it was meant, yes
[12:38] <acicula> bullgard: yeh
[12:38] <bullgard> ok
[12:38] <KM0201> Nicolaus: sudo    same as you do a install.

[12:39] <KM0201> oops.. Nicolaus see above
[12:40] <Last_Biscuit> wmorri, TP LINK
[12:40] <Nicolaus> non of the codes work in terminal
[12:40] <nicofs> KM0201: that's a bit out of the blue... i'm afraid i can't use grub, though...
[12:40] <KM0201> nicofs: it was an accident... it was meant for Nicolaus
[12:41] <nicofs> KM0201: thought so^^
[12:41] <wmorri> Last_Biscuit: I am looking up compatability now/
[12:41] <macooo> could anyone tell me how to change the kernel back to its previous version, I upgraded to marverick from lucid, and now I see it was an mistake
[12:41] <Nicolaus> how do i run terminal as admin
[12:41] <KM0201> nicofs: little to overzealous w/ the tab key... :)
[12:41] <Last_Biscuit> wmorri, i am going to my desktop, i will let you know about the status.
[12:41] <Nicolaus> non of the code i enter in it works and i using the live cd
[12:41] <KM0201> Nicolaus: use sudo.. what issue are you having,t he instructions on that link are very very clea
[12:41] <gobbe> Nicolaus: sudo
[12:41] <nicofs> KM0201: i'm happy, it exists, so i won't complain...

[12:42] <babarhaq> hi all, if i right click my home directory it shows the size to be 138 MB where as when i run this du -sh . it gives me 1.1G
[12:42] <sacarlson> Last_Biscuit: with the chip number you gave me I found your problem and the solution at https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-nettool/+question/87970  it seems you need to blacklist rt2800usb  as stated in workaround found at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/460323
[12:42] <jrib> Nicolaus: you should tell us exactly what you typed and exactly what the result was not just "don't work"
[12:42] <StrangeCharm> is there a passwords and/or encryption keys manager which has many of the features of seahorse, but also integrates with firefox, to remember and supply web passwords?
[12:42] <Emanon> any particular reason ubuntu alternate install iso wont work if put on a usb drive?
[12:43] <KM0201> Emanon: ys, because by default, it checks the CD for installation media.. it will boot, but then it will fail when looking for install media
[12:43] <Emanon> and why does the alt do this when none of the others do and the previous alt didnt either?
[12:43] <Last_Biscuit> sacarlson Thank You let me check
[12:43] <KM0201> Emanon: at least thats been my experience...
[12:44] <Emanon> why praytel did they suddenly decide to break the only installer i use?
[12:44] <KM0201> Emanon: theyd idn't break it, its always beenn that way
[12:44] <Emanon> it worked in 10.04 it doesnt in 10.10
[12:44] <Emanon> thats called breaking
[12:44] <Last_Biscuit> sacarlson, can u tell me about 10.4 version ?
[12:44] <KM0201> Emanon: i dunno, the alt. cd has never worked for me from USB.. ever
[12:45] <Emanon> yea i could always toss it on a usb before and run fine now it does what it apparently had been doing to you all along
[12:45] <sacarlson> Last_Biscuit: I run 10.04 and it works out of the box but my ralink is not the same chip as yours
[12:45] <KM0201> Emanon: well, use the live USB, or boot a CD.. it'll work fine.
[12:45] <sacarlson> Last_Biscuit: you fix is one small text change in one small file
[12:46] <friki> barbarhaq: du -sh . more reliable
[12:46] <Emanon> well the live usb sucks or i would use it (no encryption or raid support)
[12:46] <Emanon> guess im digging out a dvd
[12:46] <Last_Biscuit> sacarlson, let me update the setup, right now i have connected the dongle with desktop, now as ubuntu boot up, i have a window Enter Password to unlock your login keyring
[12:46] <Emanon> you having trouble with a ralink wifi dongle?
[12:47] <Last_Biscuit> sacarlson, can u tell me that small text ? and how can i change it
[12:47] <sacarlson> Last_Biscuit: it is stated in the link but I can look
[12:47] <KM0201> Emanon: i think most of the ralinks have kernel support now(or the last few I've tried anyway)
[12:47] <Emanon> oh mine works fine after some terminal work
[12:48] <Last_Biscuit> sacarlson, i have provided the password, and network is connected now, 100% signal strength but no internet no access to router
[12:48] <Last_Biscuit> sacarlson, the link u provided earlier ?
[12:48] <Emanon> http://pastebin.com/0rLLCGj6
[12:48] <sacarlson> Last_Biscuit: is that for the backport?
[12:48] <monitor> ola ola ola
[12:49] <Emanon> full instructions start line 20
[12:49] <Last_Biscuit> sacarlson, no i have apply your provided link details right now, i am reading it
[12:50] <sacarlson> Last_Biscuit: the details I found in the link are Put the line 'blacklist rt2800usb' in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and you are able to use wireless.
[12:50] <Guest51512> i need to change the permissions on a shared folder that was created using a linux mint. how do i change in ubuntu?
[12:50] <sacarlson> Last_Biscuit: did you do that?
[12:51] <KM0201> Guest51512: sudo chmod 777 /path/to/folder  should do it.
[12:51] <Guest51512> trying
[12:51] <Emanon> sudo chown -R <username>:<usergroup> /path/to/top/folder
[12:51] <Guest51512> KM0201 is there no gui
[12:52] <KM0201> Guest51512: i was assuming you tried right clicking/propeties/permissions
[12:52] <Guest51512> yes tried right clicking
[12:53] <Last_Biscuit> sacarlson, i have written on the terminal this line 'blacklist rt2800usb' in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
[12:53] <Last_Biscuit> nothing happened it just came to next line
[12:53] <KM0201> well, then it would probably be easier to do in terminal, but there's probably a GUI away to do it.. even if a bit dirty
[12:54] <Last_Biscuit> should i restart now? its done ? actually i am a noob with linux, trying to learn it sacarlson
[12:54] <sacarlson> Last_Biscuit: I think it's interprited that you edit the file with an editor like sudo qedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf    then add the line to the bottom of that file then save it,  exit qedit and reboot your system
[12:55] <Last_Biscuit> let me do
[12:55] <sacarlson> Last_Biscuit: opps forgot the line you add is "blacklist rt2800usb' in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf"
[12:56] <Nicolaus> ok guys i need ur help

[12:59] <Nicolaus> what u said before on how to copy the files
[13:00] <KM0201> is your thumb drive plugged in?
[13:00] <gobbe> !backtrack | Guest71489
[13:00] <Nicolaus> i need to save them to a flashdrive but i dont have permisson so they cant be copy
[13:00] <jrib> Guest71489: this channel is for ubuntu support, not backtrack.  See ubottu
[13:00] <Emanon> i prefer booting it live but my friend likes it installed so its a choice really guest
[13:00] <commander_> anybody please help struggling with my pigeon to setup mxit...!
[13:00] <Emanon> sudo chown -R <username>:<usergroup> /path/to/top/folder Nicolaus
[13:00] <Emanon> leave the Nicolaus part off tho hehe
[13:00] <Last_Biscuit> sacarlson, Warning: unknown mime-type for "/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf" -- using "application/octet-stream"
[13:01] <Last_Biscuit> Error: no "edit" mailcap rules found for type "application/octet-stream"
[13:01] <KM0201> Emanon: he's on the live cd... whats the usergroup/name for it?
[13:01] <Emanon> ubuntu for both
[13:01] <Guest71489> i understand sorry for the miscommunication ... my bad :)
[13:01] <KM0201> was wondering..
[13:01] <Guest51512> KM0201 will that command change the permissions for all sub folders as well?
[13:01] <Emanon> yes
[13:01] <KM0201> yes
[13:01] <keito_> hey there folks, I have a friends knackered HDD that I am trying to recover.  I have gddrescue installed and when I try to create a recovery image I get the error "opening `/dev/sdc': No such file or directory"
[13:01] <Emanon> thats what the -R does
[13:01] <KM0201> yup
[13:01] <Emanon> so when i try to start a virtual machine in kvm i get this message http://pastebin.com/gkQcGW6T
[13:01] <KM0201> but he's just wanting to get some files, so he can reinstall, so it doesn't matter
[13:02] <Emanon> any ideas on that?
[13:02] <keito_> in /var/log/messages I can see /dev/sdc is recognised "[sdc] Attached SCSI disk"  but then it gets offlined "scsi 8:0:0:0: Device offlined - not ready after error recovery"
[13:02] <keito_> any ideas?!
[13:02] <KM0201> Emanon: well it clearly cannot initialize KVM.. :)
[13:02] <Guest51512> didnt work
[13:03] <Emanon> right and i fix this how?
[13:03] <KM0201> Guest51512: what didn't work?
[13:03] <KM0201> Emanon: honestly, i don't know.. . i don't do kvm
[13:03] <keito_> cat /proc/partitions fails to list anything under /dev/sdc (the knackered drive)
[13:03] <Nicolaus> i am not that good with terminal
[13:04] <Emanon> should be (minus the quotes) "sudo chown -R ubuntu:ubuntu /path/to/top/directory
[13:04] <keito_> can anyone see this text?!    =<^_^>=
[13:05] <Emanon> yes
[13:05] <keito_> sweet

[13:07] <Last_Biscuit> oh ok
[13:07] <sacarlson> ok beer time for me and who's buying?
[13:08] <Last_Biscuit> i wish i could ..
[13:08] <eraldo> yes because
[13:08] <xuekan> hello i got a problem of my ubuntu,sometimes when startup the system needs to check disk and asks me to press F to fix or I to ignore,if it checks, then reboot and it goes normal,this happens very frequently.what's wrong?
[13:08] <Last_Biscuit> sacarlson, a file get open ..
[13:09] <shashi859> hi xueken ...... once check filesystem using gprarted
[13:09] <shashi859> but  u should consider some backup
[13:10] <xuekan> btw, last time when i used partionMagic,it said my extend partion didn't be marked as extended or something like that,it asked me to fix it,should i allow it to fix?
[13:10] <Last_Biscuit> sacarlson, i have written blacklist rt2800usb in the end of the text file and saved it.
[13:10] <Last_Biscuit> reboot time now ?
[13:11] <shashi859> xueken.. personally i had bad experience with partition magic... hence i prefer gparted
[13:11] <shashi859> just try once using gparted
[13:12] <neurochrome> gparted is awesome, but it doesn't work for me on maverick 8/
[13:12] <xuekan> shashi859:gparted? a disk software?
[13:13] <shashi859> ya .. install it using sudo apt-get install gparted
[13:13] <shashi859> it is a gui for 'parted'
[13:14] <Guest51512> Emanon: sudo -R gave permissions for top level folders onlt is there a command to allow access to sub folders?
[13:14] <neurochrome> xuekan, it's a partition manager
[13:14] <Linuxsapien> anyone here using deja-dup?
[13:15] <asdsg> The apache directives are go into the httpd.conf file right? The documentation doesnt make this clear.
[13:15] <xuekan> shashi859:ok,let me try it and see if things will go normal.thank you very much.
[13:15] <shashi859> ok
[13:15] <xuekan> neurochrome:thank you too.
[13:15] <PaulDeva> plss need help
[13:15] <PaulDeva> :(
[13:16] <shashi859> paul:what help
[13:16] <mbrochh> hi all. i'm just learning some basics about monit. i learned that i can tell monit to run every 60 seconds by using this command: "monit -d 60 -c /etc/monit/monitrc" however, after a reboot monit starts (as i set startup=1) but doesnt monitor anything. Where should I store the mentioned command, so that it gets executed after a reboot?
[13:16] <rs0832> PaulDeva: ask your question directly.. if someone can they will help you :)
[13:16] <PaulDeva> ok
[13:17] <Guest51512> Emanon: sudo -R gave permissions for top level folders onlt is there a command to allow access to sub folders?
[13:19] <Emanon> oh btw any particular reason why ubuntu netbook 10.10 boots having no interface whatsoever?
[13:19] <PaulDeva> I use Ubuntu win installer ... everything goes the auto update is dw GRUB-COMMON and GRUB-PC when i reset dos not start not even  WIN7 THE MRB is damage. what to do?
[13:21] <rs0832> PaulDeva: just install ubuntu (not the windows installer) It should overwrite and fix the mbr
[13:21] <Emanon> they probably muffed up the wubi installer your windows disk may restore your mbr (i think mandriva has something to do the same) i assume there is a utility for ubuntu to do it though i dont know it
[13:22] <Last_Biscuit> sacarlson, where are you :D
[13:22] <Robinux> how can i switch between users
[13:22] <Emanon> the only decent installer they "had" was the alternate and they just made that inaccessible to anyone without an optical drive
[13:22] <Last_Biscuit> sacarlson, its working on 9.10 i am so happy :D thank you so so so much .. i hope this thing work on 10.4 as well ..
[13:23] <Last_Biscuit> u people really proving ubuntu means , i wish one day i would join you for serving mankind ..
[13:23] <Last_Biscuit> hats of to you sacarlson ..!
[13:24] <Last_Biscuit> off*
[13:25] <tristan3199us2> is there a way to add librarys [as in windows 7] to the side panel in nautilus..
[13:25] <Guest51512> why dont permissions propate to sub floders/
[13:25] <Guest51512> propgate
[13:25] <pojiko> Guest51512: you need to use recursive
[13:26] <Guest51512> pojiko: explaine please
[13:26] <pojiko> Guest51512: when changing permissions with chmod use the recursive flag so permissions follow through
[13:27] <Guest51512> pojika; you mean as in  -R: i did that
[13:27] <tristan3199us2> whats the best torrent program.. transmission, qbittorrent, utorrent in wine, or ktorrent. and what is vuse..
[13:28] <iceroot> tristan3199us2: the one you like most is always the best
[13:28] <dagni> hi ;)
[13:28] <dagni> hi
[13:28] <Guest51512> pojiko: you mean as in -R?
[13:28] <tristan3199us2> none are faster than any of the others.. they all use the same sources??
[13:28] <dagni> i don't have direct rendering, but i've installed the ati radeon drivers from apt-get
[13:28] <dagni> why is that ?
[13:29] <dagni> root@laptop:~# fglrxinfo |grep -i direct
[13:29] <dagni> root@laptop:~#
[13:29] <tristan3199us2> iceroot: do they always use the same sources..
[13:29] <tristan3199us2> whats your favorite torrent program
[13:29] <iceroot> tristan3199us2: sources like source-code or sources like source for torrents?
[13:30] <tristan3199us2> sources for torrents
[13:30] <iceroot> tristan3199us2: i guess my favorite was rtorrent because it does not have a gui
[13:30] <iceroot> tristan3199us2: the sources came from the torrent file (tracker)
[13:31] <tristan3199us2> i never used a torrent program without a gui.. whats the benifit of not having a gui..
[13:32] <mbrochh> hi all. i'm just learning some basics about monit. i learned that i can tell monit to run every 60 seconds by using this command: "monit -d 60 -c /etc/monit/monitrc" however, after a reboot monit starts (as i set startup=1) but doesnt monitor anything. Where should I store the mentioned command, so that it gets executed after a reboot?
[13:32] <iceroot> tristan3199us2: my torrent is running on the server and of course a server doesnt have a gui
[13:33] <rigved> mbrochh: /etc/init.d
[13:34] <red2kic> tristan3199us2: You know... Opera is a torrent too.
[13:35] <tristan3199us2> hows opera.. im new to linux.. used utorrent before.
[13:35] <red2kic> tristan3199us2: If you are looking for something utorrent-like, then you want Deluge, I suppose.
[13:36] <red2kic> tristan3199us2: Also, Applications --> Internet --> Transmission.  Transmission is torrent client.
[13:37] <mbrochh> rigved, thanks
[13:37] <tristan3199us2> are all torrent clients the same in how fast they download.. i want something that has a good number of max global connections and upload download slots already configured for wireless speeds..
[13:38] <rigved> mbrochh: you are welcome
[13:38] <pojiko> Guest51512: sorry for the late reply but check the man pages to be sure
[13:38] <Guest51512> pojiko: thks
[13:38] <mbrochh> rigved, that folder already has a file called monit... which enables me to control the daemon
[13:39] <mbrochh> rigved, should i add a new file with a shell script only consisting of the mentioned command?
[13:40] <rigved> mbrochh: you can add the command to the already existing file or make this file start your file which has the command
[13:40] <mbrochh> rigved, ok i will try that, thanks again
[13:42] <tristan3199us2> can i get is deluge for servers??
[13:43] <tristan3199us2> sorry..
[13:44] <red2kic> For servers? Use rtorrent, deluged / deluge-console, or transmission-daemon / transmission-cli. You always can switch to different if you dislike them.
[13:44] <tristan3199us2> thanks... will do..
[13:44] <tristan3199us2> whats vuse..
[13:45] <tristan3199us2> i know its related but something different about it.. is it a media player too??

[13:49] <Ljay> Hi I am new to this, question is there a known  problem loading ubuntu on a Dell Inspiron M5030?
[13:50] <Varista`nb> Hello I have a quick question about netbook edition: I have a 64 bit netbook and I'd like to be able to use a 64 bit version, but I don't see an x64 netbook ( go figure, I think my proccessor is the only 64 bit atom ). Is there a reason I should use netbook instead of desktop x64?
[13:50] <Varista`nb> don't see an x64 netbook edition*
[13:50] <gobbe> Varista`nb: you could use just desktop edition and install unity after installing
[13:51] <Varista`nb> unity is what?
[13:51] <Varista`nb> something for netbooks?
[13:51] <rigved> Varista`nb: install desktop edition
[13:51] <Pici> Varista`nb: The desktop interface that you would get if you installed the netbook edition.  Everything else is the same as the desktop install.
[13:51]  * Varista`nb scratches his head
[13:51] <van7hu> hi, has anyone here had problem with USB driver in maverick ?
[13:52] <Varista`nb> Pici: you mean it's something to interface my netbook with a desktop?
[13:52] <rigved> Varista`nb: it's the GUI shell based on openGL
[13:52] <Varista`nb> oh okay.
[13:53] <reeniginEesreveR> could someone help me with netem: Want to setup an emulated network with high latency, low bandwidth, 1% packet losses and some packet re-ordering
[13:53] <Pici> Varista`nb: Er, no.  I mean graphical interface.  Like how you interact with your windows and icons and whatnot.
[13:53] <Varista`nb> right, right sorry.
[13:53] <slipttees> hi
[13:54] <Varista`nb> Will I be able to install desktop and use it to install unity or do I need to manually install unity somehow because it won't have an interface?
[13:54] <Ljay> Is this the right place to ask about problems loading ubuntu?
[13:54] <slipttees> i have graphical SIS771 on ubuntu 10.04, system sleep, when wake up, screen no go.
[13:54] <van7hu> Ljay : what is your problem ?
[13:54] <Varista`nb> Ljay: I believe so.
[13:54] <bsod1> is there an easy way to do this now? http://gnomesupport.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=12700
[13:55] <nicolaus> km0201 u back
[13:56] <Varista`nb> gobbe: Do I need to do anything special to install unity or can I just install the desktop edition and apt-get or something?
[13:56] <rigved> Varista`nb: you will have a normal GUI as it's available for desktops. but unity is specially designed for netbooks' small screens and low processor and memory. if you want this then install it otherwise it'll still work as it is
[13:56] <Ljay> I have been using ubuntu for awhile on a deaktop.  I can't get pasted the first screen when loading either USB or CD disk
[13:56] <slipttees> i have graphical SIS 771 on ubuntu 10.04, system sleep, when wake up, screen no go.

[14:12] <Pici> spicemaster: Thats not really within the scope of this channel.  Try ##networking

[14:27] <Deddly> ActionParsnip: OK sounds good...how do I do that, please? :)

[14:28] <seul> How do i install ubuntu with the alternate cd? For some reason i was adviced to take it instead of the normal one. Is there a good guide anywhere? I have amd 32 bits.
[14:28] <gamerpro2000> seul, just burn the alternative install disc and install just like you normally would
[14:28] <tge101> i'm close, i just can't get it to function
[14:28] <Deddly> thanks, ActionParsnip.
[14:29] <Ub3r-N00b> hey guys, can anyone tell me how to hide my ip in here ? //mode $me +x doesnt work.... any other ideas ?
[14:29] <Pici> Ub3r-N00b: Ask in #freenode for a cloak.
[14:29] <seul> gamerpro2000: i have done that and im in the installation thing now. Its just that i dont know which options to take when partition stuff. I have a free partition that i made earlier in windows, but i dont know how to choose it. You know any good guide?
[14:29] <Ub3r-N00b> Pici: thanks
[14:29] <tge101> is this the wrong channel to ask for code help?
[14:31] <jrib> tge101: ask in the channel for the language you are coding in
[14:31] <jkg> if I'm running Ubuntu on a Xen VM, is there any specific kernel version I should be running? some docs seem to suggest -server is OK, but the package description for -virtual seems appealing
[14:31] <ActionParsnip> seul: the alternate installs in text mode but gives a desktop OS
[14:31] <nothingspecial> seul: it`s exactly the same as the shiny installer, without the shininess, use arrow keys to move, space (I think) to select (could be Enter) and Tab to move between the different boxes.
[14:31] <ActionParsnip> jkg: do you want a GUI with mouse interaction?
[14:31] <tge101> i don't want to paste the code, it's a Pipe and the language is C
[14:32] <jkg> ActionParsnip: nope, it's a web/DB server
[14:32] <Deddly> ActionParsnip: I'm looking at that link you gave me, but the writer pretty much just says it worked for him out of the box.
[14:32] <ActionParsnip> jkg: then the server OS is great and will make the site more resposive
[14:32] <seul> nothingspecial: yeah i clicked enter at the right partition of the hardrive, but then i just got more weird options.. Isnt there any guide with pictures?
[14:32] <Deddly> ActionParsnip: I might also add that I had no sound issues running DSL (Damn Small Linux)
[14:32] <jkg> but I do keep getting a bunch of CGI processes going into state 'D', becoming unkillable, driving the load avg up to 30+ and giving me the following in syslog: http://paste.ubuntu.com/544055/

[14:33] <nothingspecial> seul: If you are absoluteley sure you have the right partition, select to use as ext4, mountpoint /
[14:33] <vinus> ya its in sleepin.....wat to do?
[14:33] <tge101> i can send it to someone and say what i'm tyring to do (just communicate 2 progs), just what i have is too long to paste
[14:33] <ActionParsnip> Deddly: there are some bootoptions you can use:    apm=on, acpi=off    in /etc/default/grub
[14:33] <seul> gamperpro2000: im sry but that wasnt a guide, it was just stating the fact that its possible and that it doesnt have live.
[14:34] <seul> nothingspecial: ok, im gonna start up the partition thing again and tell you what it says..
[14:34] <jrib> tge101: ##c
[14:35] <tge101> that's the best route to go?
[14:35] <tge101> and you mean C## right?
[14:37] <seul> tge101: just typ /j ##C and see for urself
[14:38] <Deddly> OK I'm trying to add lines to /etc/default/grub and it tells me it can't open the file for writing. What am I doing wrong?
[14:38] <seul> nothingspecial: ok so now im at partition disks. Should i use guide or manual? As i said i already have partitioned a 10gb thing in windows that i wanna use
[14:38] <nothingspecial> seul: manual
[14:38] <tge101> i can't talk in that channel
[14:38] <_jesse_> Deddly: you don't have permission; use sudo or gksu
[14:39] <_jesse_> tge101: you may need to identify first
[14:39] <seul> nothingalspecial: ok. I want to use SCSI3 and #3 with the status primary. But when i click enter, it just says that the partition if formatted with ntfs and i get some options
[14:39] <rigved> tge101: have you registered your name with NickServ
[14:39] <Deddly> _jesse_: Aha... Sorrry I'm new to this. What should I type to open it for editing, then?
[14:39] <_jesse_> tge101: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup
[14:40] <_jesse_> Deddly: depends if you are using a graphical editor or a terminal one
[14:40] <nothingspecial> seul: Sure you have the right partition?
[14:40] <rigved> seul: you must have formatted the partition earlier when installing windows. just format it if you are sure that it is not the windows partition
[14:40] <perlsyntax> Does anyone know a good Pc cards that work out of the box with linux?
[14:40] <seul> nothingspecial: yep, its 10.7gb big, just made it. I can "delete the partition" and "done setting up the partition". I just wanna click enter and install :P
[14:41] <Deddly> _jesse_: I'm using a graphical editor - Mousepad
[14:41] <perlsyntax> it hard find a good pc cards any more.
[14:41] <seul> rigved: what do you mean? It is formatted from windtows to NTFS. Doenst that work?
[14:41] <nothingspecial> seul: you have to delete it because it is ntfs
[14:42] <tge101> i got it going now, don't think anyones around in there though
[14:42] <rigved> seul: yes it does. delete it and format it as ext4
[14:42] <nothingspecial> |Then create new, ext4, select format, choose mountpoint /
[14:42] <Deddly> _jesse_: I just worked it out. It's just sudo mousepad
[14:42] <seul> nothingspecial and rigved: okey, ill do that.
[14:42] <perlsyntax> ?
[14:42] <rigved> seul: are you sure it's not the windows one?
[14:43] <_jesse_> Deddly: nice :) Though for mousepad you should use `gksu mouespad`
[14:43] <_jesse_> *mousepad
[14:43] <nothingspecial> seul: Have to get kids from school. Hope it goes well. Yes a be absolutely certain it is the right one.

I had no trouble with DSL (Damn Small Linux) and someone told me that it uses Opensound.  I'm so close to just download the normal version again.. The reason i took this one is because the normal one was so slow. This is now worth it.

[14:55] <IsoLnCHiP> Can anyone tell me what distiguishes a 64bit install from a 32bit one? Different apt sources? A Flag in a file, or how do they differ?
[14:55] <rigved> induz: you are welcome. :)
[14:55] <Pici> IsoLnCHiP: The binaries on the 64 bit installed are compiled for a 64 bit system.
[14:55] <sosaited> cdbs, BTW is KDE better or Gnome for slower processors and ram?
[14:55] <perlsyntax> Does anyone know good pc card that work wwith ubuntu i
[14:56] <cdbs> sosaited: I am not very sure, but I think GNOME
[14:56] <rigved> IsoLnCHiP: you can check your version from the System Monitor, in case that's what you are looking for
[14:56] <sosaited> cdbs, Hmm. THanks., I'll try lucid and hopefully it will be fine
[14:56] <perlsyntax> this room a joke
[14:57] <IsoLnCHiP> Pici, well, obviously, I meant how can I tell, that its a 64bit system ;)
[14:57] <IsoLnCHiP> Pici, Hmm, ok, I see neither 32 nor 64 meantioned in sysmon
[14:57] <cdbs> IsoLnCHiP: uname -a in a terminal

[14:58] <jieyuan> test
[14:58] <bonjoyee> IsoLnCHiP: i686=32 x86_64 = 64 bit!
[14:58] <IsoLnCHiP> RIght, ok x86_64 kernel. Is it enought to install a ix86 kernel to switch my system to 32 bit, or do I need to do more than that?
[14:59] <cdbs> IsoLnCHiP: no, that won't suffice
[14:59] <cdbs> IsoLnCHiP: the whole system binaries are in one bitset, so you need to re-install
[14:59] <bonjoyee> IsoLnCHiP: you can run 32 bit programs on 64 bit..
[14:59] <jrib> IsoLnCHiP: reinstall
[14:59] <Keyboardx86> Hello everyone
[14:59] <Deddly> Can anyone help me with this crackling sound problem? Adding "apm=on" and "acpi=off" at the begining of /etc/default/grub doesn't make any difference. I had no trouble with DSL (Damn Small Linux) and someone told me that it uses Opensound. Can anyone help me get Opensound on Ubuntu?
[15:00] <bonjoyee> IsoLnCHiP: if its just a few programs that are causing issues..
[15:00] <Emerling> Keyboardx86, hi, you're welcome
[15:00] <saliak> anyone familiar with xmlrpc using c++ ?
[15:00] <IsoLnCHiP> Ok, any clever ideas how to make the reinstall as painless as possible? As in keep all settings.
[15:00] <AbhiJit> hi
[15:00] <jrib> IsoLnCHiP: why do you want 32bit?
[15:01] <rigved> saliak: maybe ##c++
[15:01] <jkg> anyone have any ideas why I'm seeing processes getting stuck waiting for IO, and my system becoming unresponsive, and the following logs: http://paste.ubuntu.com/544055/ on a Xen VM running Lucid? current kernel is Linux nephos 2.6.32-21-server #32-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 16 09:17:34 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[15:01] <AbhiJit> !aptoncd > IsoLnCHiP
[15:01] <saliak> rigved : duh.  sorry, that makes a lot of sense
[15:01] <IsoLnCHiP> jrib, Because I assume vbox cant boot 64bit, and I want to be able to use my ubuntu either directly or from win7 in a vbox
[15:02] <saliak> rigved : boo. the channel seems to be screwed up.  no ops and can't send to it
[15:02] <bonjoyee> IsoLnCHiP: yes vbox can boot 64 bit even on a 32bit host os!
[15:02] <jrib> IsoLnCHiP: pretty sure vbox can run 64bit.  Ask #vbox
[15:02] <IsoLnCHiP> AbhiJit, Does it also have an option to save and restore settings?
[15:02] <izinucs> IsoLnCHiP: I run 64 bit vbox on kubuntu
[15:02] <AbhiJit> IsoLnCHiP, no
[15:03] <rigved> saliak: are you sure that you have registered your nick?
[15:03] <bonjoyee> IsoLnCHiP: aptoncd is of no use if you want to switch to 32 bit
[15:03] <bonjoyee> as the 64 bit packages wont run on 32 bit..
[15:03] <IsoLnCHiP> bonjoyee, So I keep reading, yes, but when I boot grub in vbox it complains about the cpu beein i686 rather than x86_64 ;)
[15:04] <cdbs> !clone | bonjoyee
[15:04] <AbhiJit> IsoLnCHiP, to run 64 bit os in vbox your cpu must support 64 bit virtualization
[15:04] <cdbs> err
[15:04] <rigved> IsoLnCHiP: your CPU should support VT to run x64
[15:04] <cdbs> !clone > IsoLnCHiP
[15:04] <cdbs> IsoLnCHiP: That method works, but aptoncd won't work if you are moving to 32-bit from 64
[15:05] <IsoLnCHiP> AbhiJit, It does, I specifically bought a CPU to that end. It has full hardware virtualisation support
[15:05] <m4xx> i need to disable the ctrl+f1 hotkey for xserver, i've disabled vt switch but i think the system i still catching it.
[15:05] <bonjoyee> IsoLnCHiP:  check if VT is enabled in BIOS
[15:05] <AbhiJit> ok
[15:05] <m4xx> is there something else i should do to unbind they key combo?
[15:06] <m4xx> i didnt see it anywhere in system->preferences->keyboard shortcuts
[15:06] <tmade> hello, i´m running ubuntu server 10.4. how can i add a init script to start a service automatically? if I run "update-rc.d servicename enable" i´m getting:nrpe start runlevel arguments (none) do not match LSB Default-Start values (2 3 5), but i set thos runlevels
[15:06] <IsoLnCHiP> bonjoyee, according to the vmware 64 guest check tool everything is set correctly
[15:07] <bonjoyee> IsoLnCHiP:then check if VT is enabled in Vbox ..theres an option there as well
[15:08] <IsoLnCHiP> bonjoyee, Im preatty sure I set the option there too, but I will double check again when I reboot to windows
[15:08] <bonjoyee> IsoLnCHiP: also what version of vbox? latest is 3.2.12!!
[15:08] <rigved> tmade: add the script to /etc/init.d/ then you can set it to run
[15:08] <tmade> my script in "/etc/init.d/service" works perfect as i want
[15:08] <IsoLnCHiP> bonjoyee, If I recall correctly I tryed with 3.2.10 and 12 both with the same result
[15:09] <m4xx> citrix xenclient uses the same key combo to send "ctr+alt+del"
[15:09] <IsoLnCHiP> cdbs, Thanks for the pointer to cloneing, that looks promising
[15:09] <jrib> tmade: you should migrate to upstart
[15:09] <tmade> rigved: i´ve already done...but what to do to make it start on system boot?
[15:09] <tmade> jrib: there´s another way?
[15:10] <cdbs> IsoLnCHiP: but that would mean that all the packages would be downloaded again when you would run the second command
[15:10] <cdbs> IsoLnCHiP: that's the only way, since you can't use 64-bit packages on 32-bit
[15:10] <pitchzer0> Hey ther
[15:10] <bonjoyee>  tmade:how about adding entry in /etc/rc.local
[15:10] <IsoLnCHiP> cdbs, shouldnt be a problem, got a caching proxy :)
[15:10] <jrib> tmade: well ubuntu has moved to upstart.  the sysv-init scripts will still work but the new way is upstart.  If you don't want to use upstart for some reason, read « man update-rc.d ».  Look for the line with "defaults" in it
[15:11] <simon34> has there any other application like Miro for ubuntu?
[15:11] <bonjoyee>  IsoLnCHiP: for 32 bit as well?
[15:11] <pitchzer0> Can anyone help me: I'm searching someone to help me with a port forwarding problem
[15:11] <goltoof> !ask
[15:11] <IsoLnCHiP> bonjoyee, might be a bit outdated, but I have other boxes in my net running on 32, so most packages might be there.
[15:12] <tmade> bonjoyee: does a script located in /etc/rc.local start automatically?
[15:12] <popey> pitchzer0: seen http://portforward.com/ ?
[15:12] <rigved> tmade: not sure. read jrib ^^. or you could just add the script to cron.daily.. that way it will run almost at start up
[15:12] <pitchzer0> popey: Yes but it didnt solve my problem
[15:12] <goltoof> pitchzer0:  aska away, keep in mind that most networking stuff can also be answered in #networking
[15:12] <bonjoyee> tmade:  you have to add "/etc/init.d/service start" to rc.local..then it does
[15:13] <pitchzer0> i was searching for such a chan thanks!
[15:13] <pitchzer0> Goodbye folks!
[15:13] <jrib> bonjoyee, tmade: no that's not proper at all
[15:13] <goltoof> pitchzer0:  npr
[15:13] <tmade> somebody has a good basic "upstart" script as an example?
[15:13] <jrib> !upstart | tmade
[15:13] <IsoLnCHiP> I think before I start the whole procedure Ill check the #vbox if they have an Idea what I might be missing, but thanks for the advice this far, atleast now I know I would have to reinstall, and have a slightly more comfortable way of doing it.
[15:13] <simon34> has there any other application like ''Miro'' for ubuntu?
[15:13] <bonjoyee>  tmade: but yes update-rc.d is the proper way..
[15:15] <wrd> simon34: miro seems to be usable in ubuntu?
[15:15] <tmade> bonjoyee: i´ve tried now several scripts to add like "update-rc.d servicename enable" ...each script works executed manually...but none on startup
[15:15] <bonjoyee> tmade: not all services are yet moved to upstart..so ones in /etc/init.d/ will work..
[15:15] <ServerTechLaptop> how do i remove a directory which is NOT empty?
[15:15] <jrib> ServerTechLaptop: rm -r
[15:15] <ServerTechLaptop> ty
[15:15] <rigved> tmade: use upstart
[15:15] <NotAnonymous> question: what os are most web servers using?
[15:15] <jrib> !ot  | NotAnonymous
[15:16] <bonjoyee>  tmade:  did u configure the run levels properly?also is your service dependent on some other service?
[15:16] <tmade> rigved: big deal to convert my own script as upstart?
[15:16] <NotAnonymous> and I mean big companies
[15:16] <popey> NotAnonymous: http://news.netcraft.com/archives/category/web-server-survey/
[15:16] <tmade> bonjoyee: no, doesn´t depent on another
[15:17] <NotAnonymous> thanks
[15:17] <rigved> tmade: no it's simple. check the Getting Started page on the website
[15:17] <tmade> rigved: so i can easily convert my init script to upstart?
[15:18] <simon34> ya
[15:18] <simon34> has there any other application like ''Miro'' for ubuntu?
[15:18] <rigved> tmade: yes.

[15:29] <pseubodot> NeoCicak: I don't know what the 'proper' way is, but my installation found the hardware, and prompted me to install hardware support
[15:29] <NeoCicak> pseubodot: hmmmm
[15:29] <pseubodot> NeoCicak: try System > Adminstration > Additional Drivers
[15:29] <SergeyIT> wilhart, i don't know. i use standard theme
[15:29] <NeoCicak> pseubodot: thats what i tried
[15:30] <pseubodot> NeoCicak: what card do you have?
[15:30] <CERNUNN0S> Salutations, I have a little curiosity regarding Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Xen support. Does anyone know of a good resource of information I can start with? Rather than boring your with inane questions for an hour or three.
[15:30] <NeoCicak> pseubodot: nvidia 3100 m
[15:30] <pseubodot> NeoCicak: how does your system see it?
[15:30] <pseubodot> NeoCicak: lspci | grep -i vga
[15:31] <NeoCicak> pseubodot: when it failed to load X (i.e. i got command line)... i looked at /var/log/Xorg0.log.. and i saw "no screens found"
[15:31] <lgg> hi
[15:31] <NeoCicak> pseubodot: "(EE) No devices detected. ..... Fatal server error: no screens found"

[15:33] <pseubodot> NeoCicak: hmm
[15:33] <SergeyIT> wilhart, in pidgin there are themes for: buddy list, status icons, sound & smileis
[15:34] <pseubodot> NeoCicak: back up your copy of /etc/X11/xorg.conf (rename it to something like /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
[15:34] <jlmlocal> Ok, I restarted my computer, and now it appears that the Catalyst driver is working.
[15:34] <pseubodot> NeoCicak: and try running nvidia-xconfig
[15:34] <wilhart> SergeyIT, i mean chat window ?
[15:34] <lgg> 有人聊天没
[15:34] <NeoCicak> pseubodot: well... my xorg.conf is the one generated by nvidia-config
[15:34] <rigved> !cn | lgg
[15:34] <jlmlocal> Now, however, my window decorations are missing! I don't have the x button or any of the others.
[15:34] <goldins> bonjoyee: right but what if I want to install it as a package afterward?
[15:35] <NeoCicak> pseubodot: actually.... the output from the lspci earlier was 2 rows

[15:35] <ukd1> hi guys, I'm having some issues with Amazon EC2 & the offical AMI images for Ubuntu 10.10 desktop
[15:35] <ukd1> Could anyone help?
[15:35] <NeoCicak> pseubodot: i got this laptop with that 'nvidia hybrid' thingy
[15:35] <SergeyIT> wilhart, no for chart
[15:35] <NeoCicak> pseubodot: not sure if it has anything to do with my problem though
[15:36] <wilhart> SergeyIT, face book tells me to enter 2 words and when i do it ask me again?!
[15:36] <bullgard> '~$ nmcli nm wifi on' is accepted without complaint. Still, '~$ nmcli nm status; WiFi HARDWARE=diaabled; WIFI=disabled' What went wrong?
[15:36] <Morphix> hey peeps
[15:36] <pseubodot> NeoCicak: could be.
[15:36] <rigved> !br | Stargazer
[15:36] <pseubodot> NeoCicak: can you try what I described?
[15:36] <pksadiq> NeoCicak: try sudo nvidia-xconfig
[15:37] <NeoCicak> i did
[15:37] <NeoCicak> and my xorg.conf is the one from nvidia-xconfig
[15:37] <pseubodot> it might be picking up his existing xorg file
[15:37] <pseubodot> or at least the earlier one
[15:37] <NeoCicak> that will gave me that "error no screens" error mesage
[15:37] <pseubodot> hence moving the file away and re-doing it
[15:37] <NeoCicak> so i had to delete xorg.conf to be able to get back to gnome
[15:38] <pseubodot> NeoCicak: can you turn off the other video card -- I presume it's onboard -- from the bios?
[15:38] <NeoCicak> pseubodot: hmmmm i havent tried that... not sure if i can do that from bios
[15:39] <pseubodot> NeoCicak: or at least set the priority for the video card to the PCI or PCIe slot?
[15:39] <NeoCicak> pseubodot: i'm not sure what you are talking there :(
[15:39] <chull> i have three hard drives and want to reinstall a new Ubuntu on one of them, how can I boot from CD and tell it which drive to write Ubuntu 10.10 on?
[15:40] <chull> er do i want 10.04 for stabile operation?
[15:40] <Pici> chull: Both 10.10 and 10.04 are stable.
[15:40] <NeoCicak> pseubodot: oh... i've also tried to install the driver from NVIDIA... no success either
[15:40] <crickj> chull: the installer gives you the option to choose drives
[15:40] <pksadiq> NeoCicak: and just move the xorg.conf file to xorg.conf.bak and restart your system , this might help you
[15:40] <pseubodot> NeoCicak: don't do that -- use the distribution method
[15:41] <chull> crickj, hmmm it didn't, do i need to set boot from cd in the bios?
[15:41] <pseubodot> NeoCicak: other people have already figured out the pitfalls, you don't want to do that
[15:41] <rigved> chull: boot into live cd and find out the names like /sda/... etc. then select it from the manual partition editor while installing
[15:41] <crickj> chull: you mean the cd won't boot?
[15:41] <NeoCicak> pseubodot: do i need to uninstall the driver from NVIDIA? if so... how can i do it?
[15:41] <chull> crickj, yes it asks about file lists and says it can't initialize
[15:41] <bonjoyee> chull: or disconnect the other drives if posible
[15:42] <bonjoyee> and install ubuntu on the correct one...the safest bet
[15:42] <pseubodot> NeoCicak: the installer has a remove option
[15:42] <pseubodot> NeoCicak: as I recall
[15:42] <crickj> chull: if the cd won't boot properly then it could be corrupt
[15:42] <chull> bonjoyee, ok thanks :) thank you crickj rigved
[15:43] <liminal> hello
[15:43] <liminal> I have a problem getting an internet connection when I tether ubuntu to my cell phone

[15:48] <liminal> yes.. there are two options usb tethering.. and wifi hotspot
[15:48] <ukd1> Has anyone had experience with the offical ec2 ami's?
[15:48] <amikrop> Hello. How can I get to Firefox from Namoroka?
[15:48] <liminal> I can connect to the hotspot and the usb internet connection gets detected
[15:48] <amikrop> I am facing problems, like disabled Facebook chat
[15:49] <liminal> by when when i try to browse or do anything online i get no connection
[15:49] <IsoLnCHiP> Ok, I dont actually have to switch to 32 bit afterall, all I missed was setting the guest type to 64. Now grub doesnt choke. However now suddenly the initrd cant mount my root fs from LVM anymore, any ideas?
[15:49] <NeoCicak> pseubodot: ok... i just disabled the hybrid thingy in the bios.. and it works now
[15:49] <NeoCicak> pseubodot: but i get a 'nvidia' logo with 'beta driver' label at the bottom >.<
[15:49] <pseubodot> NeoCicak: all software and hardware is beta, NeoCicak :)
[15:50] <NeoCicak> pseubodot: hahah true
[15:50] <NeoCicak> pseubodot: anyway. thanks for the help... glad that i have it working now
[15:50] <pksadiq> liminal: then how does you know that the internet connection is detected? check System > preferences> network
[15:50] <pseubodot> NeoCicak: share and enjoy.
[15:51] <ska> Can I run Ubuntu on a HP s5610f Slimline?
[15:52] <dr4c4n> ska try it out
[15:52] <goltoof_> ska:  why not?
[15:52] <pseubodot> ska: ask I recall, there is a live mode you can test
[15:52] <pseubodot> ska: without affecting the existing installed system
[15:54] <IsoLnCHiP> Does anyone by chance know which drivers for the HD I need to run ubuntu from within vbox? ( I didnt install it within vbox, so Im guessing the initrd doesnt have the right drivers )
[15:54] <matrixoracle> is there a channel for wine help ?

[15:55] <MadRobot> Hi all
[15:56] <bullgard> '~$ nmcli nm wifi on' is accepted without complaint. Still, '~$ nmcli nm status; WiFi HARDWARE=disabled; WIFI=disabled' What went wrong?
[15:56] <liminal> pksadiq okay ive 'tethered' my andriod via usb
[15:56] <liminal> i get a wired network connection 'auto usb0' active showing
[15:57] <pksadiq> jianfei: Select your self, from the Download from menu , select Other and then select "Select Best Server", ubuntu will find one for you
[15:57] <MadRobot> I have added a collection of photos to the list of background images, and I would like them to change automatically every once in a while. How do I do that?
[15:57] <pksadiq> liminal: can you connect to internet now?
[15:57] <ali> türk varmı_?
[15:58] <ska> pseubodot: I wonder if Fry's has a floor model I can test..
[15:58] <Metaphysicist> I am currently running Ubuntu 10.10 with OpenBox. If I enable remote desktop through the regular gnome desktop, will it still be functional in OpenBox? i.e. Will I still be able to control the screen and have a full GUI within OpenBox?
[15:58] <jianfei> pksadiq.. thx
[15:58] <mrstocks> Owwwww where is DOG! !!!!
[15:58] <mrstocks> its a better cat !
[15:58] <mrstocks> E: Couldn't find package dog
[15:59] <tsimpson> mrstocks: if you have a support question, you should ask it
[15:59] <ali> türkiş ??
[15:59] <mrstocks> where is bitchx and dog in ubuntu
[15:59] <IdleOne> !turkey
[15:59] <liminal> pksadiq testing it now
[15:59] <liminal> seems to be working today
[15:59] <liminal> maybe yesturday was a glitch
[16:01] <pksadiq> liminal: nothing is stable, eventhough we name some so ;)
[16:01] <Morphix> can anyone assist me in making my onboard NIC and USB work?
[16:01] <sbalmos> Apparently the default in Chromium when star-dragging to the desktop is to save a copy of the HTML, rather than creating a URL shortcut file. Any way to change that behavior?
[16:02] <Jemt> Hi. How can I reach the GRUB boot prompt from the 10.10 Live CD ?
[16:02] <Jemt> I need to boot Ubuntu from an external hard drive which cannot be booted directly. So I need to use the Live CD as a boot CD
[16:02] <crickj> Jemt: the live cd does not (as far as I know) use grub to boot
[16:03] <Jemt> Oh :-/
[16:03] <Jemt> Is it possible to somehow "switch" from the live environment to the installation on the hard drive? (chrooting is not what I want)
[16:03] <Morphix> can anyone assist me in making my onboard NIC and USB work please?
[16:04] <crickj> Jemt: you can boot directly from the external drive if your bios supports usb booting
[16:04] <Jemt> Unfortunately, it doesn't
[16:04] <bullgard> jianfei: Synaptic > Settings > Repositories > Ubuntu Software > (Downloadable from the Internet) > Download from > Other... > (for example:) Taiwan.
[16:05] <crickj> Jemt: Ah... sorry can't help
[16:05] <Jemt> Thanks anyways :)
[16:05] <Morphix> can anyone assist me in making my onboard NIC and USB work?
[16:05] <pksadiq> Jemt: or you might also have an option to select the hard drive priority
[16:06] <jianfei> pksadiq.. bullgard, thx I ran the test and it still chose china, so i guess i will just have to wait patiently, must be the net speed on this connection
[16:06] <bullgard> !network |  Morphix:
[16:06] <Jemt> pksadiq: Yes, I'm aware of that. The PC doesn't support USB booting. But thank you :)
[16:06] <Morphix> I dont think that my installation is recognising them
[16:07] <Jemt> Morphix:
[16:07] <Jemt> Morphix: What gave you that impression ?
[16:07] <bullgard> jianfei: You can selct other server (countries) by hand yourself.
[16:07] <Morphix> because "lsusb" shows nothing
[16:07] <bullgard> s/selct/select/
[16:07] <Jemt> Morphix: Don't you have a USB device to test with ?
[16:08] <Morphix> let me test that
[16:09] <ska> Using the ubuntu website for creating a USB bootable image, I used hdiutil as the recommended (for osx system). the resulting file was identical to the .iso file.
[16:09] <BluesKaj> Jemt, what about mounting the outboard , Mount any Drive with write permissions: 'mount -o remount,rw /path/to/drive' , then try to add it to places in nautilus
[16:09] <Jemt> ?
[16:10] <Metaphysicist> If I run OpenBox on Ubuntu 10.10 and enable remote desktop, will I be able to control the computer from another Linux system while it is within OpenBox? Or do I HAVE to have the Gnome desktop running for GUI Remote Desktop to be functional?
[16:10] <wrd> Metaphysicist: depends on what remote desktoping you mean? basically X gives you the possibility to just export a single window ...
[16:11] <BluesKaj> oops Jemt ..sorry that won't work without an hdd installation
[16:11] <barfster> I have psubuntu installed on my PS3’s OtherOS, but consider to move to newer Firmware that does not have OtherOS, and then I’d have to debootstrap lucid /mnt/sdc
[16:11] <barfster> But which filesystem should I make? ext2? ext4?
[16:11] <Metaphysicist> wrd: The default Remote Desktop function in Ubuntu is what I mean. With full desktop control, remotely.
[16:12] <BluesKaj> /me tries get rid of the ubuntu brain cobwebs
[16:12] <goltoof_> barfster: didn't they disable dual booting?
[16:12] <barfster> goltoof_: Yes, but mine is JBed and I can run AsbestOS
[16:12] <wrd> Metaphysicist: well - if it's using vnc it should be possible to use any window manager not just gnome ;)
[16:12] <barfster> AsbetOS is a boot mechanism for PS3 to load Linux through netboot.
[16:13] <barfster> I might tweak it to load from USB
[16:13] <Metaphysicist> wrd: Thanks.
[16:13] <goltoof_> barfster: oic.. cool
[16:13] <goltoof_> barfster:  yea, usb boot would be sweet
[16:13] <barfster> goltoof_: http://marcansoft.com/blog/2010/10/asbestos-running-linux-as-gameos/
[16:13] <goltoof_> barfster:  still haven't retreived the 10g i took up last time I tried running yellowdog
[16:14] <barfster> goltoof_: his distro is gentoo though... says something about stages...
[16:14] <Hekos> too much time ?
[16:14] <ne7work> which version of wine I need to run stable?

[16:15] <ubuntu> hello....
[16:15] <ubuntu> help me please
[16:15] <barfster> ne7work: One thing that always confused me is that alfas in open source is usually more stable than proprietary releases...
[16:15] <itaylor57> ksbalaji: must be global warming
[16:15] <goltoof_> ksbalaji:  make sure it's not grass
[16:15] <ubuntu> i try to install ubuntu desktop 10.10... but this stupid cant see my disk
[16:16] <Jemt> I got Ubuntu to boot from the USB device. I had Grub installed on the internal hard drive, so I simply copied the Ubuntu kernel and initrd image to the internal hard drive, and booted it from there. Pretty simple :)
[16:16] <ksbalaji> itaylor57: ha! It should be brown then!
[16:16] <wilde> quit
[16:16] <wilde> sorry
[16:16] <ksbalaji> goltoof_: not scorched yet
[16:16] <ubuntu> ubuntu 8.40 see all normally, but 10.10 dont :(

[16:16] <infestor> i currently use 2.6.35-23-generic kernel
[16:16] <infestor> how can i upgrade to 2.6.36 ?
[16:16] <barfster> how does debootstrap work? can I run on 8.04 and type debootstrap lucid /mnt/someFolder?
[16:17] <itaylor57> !grub | ubunt
[16:17] <wilde> can any one help me with server with scsi + ubuntu 10.04 and update-grub on priv ??
[16:17] <infid> if foo is a symlink to a directory and you do 'rm -rf foo/' it doesn't remove the directory foo/. is that a safety mechanism of symlinks?
[16:17] <wilde> pleas :D
[16:18] <ubuntu> help help help plz plz plz
[16:18] <barfster> ubuntu: help what?
[16:18] <ubuntu> help me to install ubuntu 10.10
[16:18] <barfster> ubuntu: I am not able to user your controls
[16:19] <barfster> Who cares which version there is
[16:19] <barfster> What is the problem?
[16:19] <ksbalaji> any idea to tweak googleearth image? - set right patches?
[16:19] <itaylor57> ubuntu: you need grub2
[16:19] <infestor> how do you guys update to RC kernels in ubuntu?
[16:19] <ubuntu> cant see my disk, i mean it cant see /dev/sda partitions
[16:19] <infestor> is there a PPA for this?
[16:19] <SergeyIT> ubuntu, run gparted from liveCD and look disk
[16:20] <infestor> !upgrade
[16:20] <ubuntu> ok i'll  trygparted now
[16:20] <spencer_> What kind of "technical difficulties" is the IRC server experiencing, anyone know?
[16:21] <ubuntu> gparted show everything normally.... i am confused now
[16:21] <ubuntu> but existed ext4 it see as ext3 :(
[16:22] <ElNota> spencer_: #freenode for help about IRC network
[16:22] <ubuntu> i am afraid to lost data of my ext4
[16:22] <Jemt> What? When I write 'aptitide update', Ubuntu reports: The program aptitude can be found in the following packages....
[16:22] <Jemt> Doesn't Ubuntu include aptitude ?
[16:22] <mouka> How can I control the CPU fan on my laptop? The CPU fan is always on!
[16:22] <llutz> Jemt: not longer by default, apt-get install aptitude
[16:22] <crickj> ubuntu: I think ext4 is backward compatable with ext3, so the difference doesn't matter
[16:23] <Jemt> Puzzles me. I though aptitude did a better job regarding clean up ?!
[16:23] <SergeyIT> ubuntu, first test it from gparted
[16:23] <Jemt> thought*
[16:23] <llutz> Jemt: it does but it seems to need less space on live-cd...
[16:23] <IdleOne> Jemt: that was true a few years ago, now both apt and aptitude are very good a dependency handling
[16:23] <ubuntu> what mean tested? from gparted?
[16:23] <Jemt> Ah, I see. Thank you :)
[16:23] <barfster> Is ext2 good enough for lucid?
[16:23] <Sub_Zero> I'm created a file in bash and now I'm needing to give it a unique file name. This could be a random string. How can I perform such?
[16:24] <Jemt> IdleOne: Glad to hear that. I'll stick with apt-get then :)
[16:24] <IdleOne> Jemt: I use aptitude all the time :)
[16:24] <Jemt> I go way back to Debian - can't blame me ;)
[16:24] <mouka> anybody knows why the CPU fan on my HP-6735 is always on?
[16:25] <spencer_> Anyone waiting for general troubleshooting?
[16:25] <mouka> it is blowinf cold air
[16:25] <goltoof_> how do i toggle colors in cli?
[16:25] <IdleOne> spencer_: what is your question?
[16:25] <ne7work> how to use two commands in terminal on one line
[16:25] <ne7work> with ;
[16:25] <ne7work> ?
[16:25] <mouka> so I don't think the CPU is overheating or something
[16:25] <farsheed> New Pastebin: http://rodmena.com/pastebin
[16:25] <spencer_> Mouka the sensor could be contacting a hot surface like a heatsink
[16:25] <dnivra> ne7work, yeah.
[16:25] <ne7work> dnivra, give me example please?
[16:25] <mouka> spencer_: I don't have that problem when I boot my windows partition
[16:25] <ne7work> dnivra, cd /home/ne7work/hlds ; ./hlds_run -game.. ?
[16:26] <Pici> farsheed: Please don't advertise  here.
[16:26] <dnivra> ne7work, ls;ps
[16:26] <mouka> spencer_: so it must be an Ubuntu issue
[16:26] <farsheed> ok, sorry.
[16:26] <IdleOne> ne7work: sudo command 1; command 2
[16:26] <itaylor57> ne7work: date ; time
[16:26] <goltoof_> how do i toggle colors in cli?
[16:26] <spencer_> mouka was the install from an official liveCD or a home-burnt one?
[16:26] <farsheed> I tought it might be useful.
[16:26] <dnivra> goltoof_, in gnome-terminal Edit -> Profile Preferences -> Colours.
[16:26] <mouka> official install
[16:26] <mouka> with all the updates
[16:26] <goltoof_> dnivra..  I'm using terminator
[16:27] <ubuntu> gpartet see normally... but install manager allocate drive space is empty
[16:27] <goltoof_> dnivra:   local is colored but ssh isn't
[16:27] <spencer_> mouka Hmm... the only reason I asked is that sometimes the home-burnt boot disks are a tad off, not entirely correct
[16:27] <Boo_Boo> anyone tell me what going on with virtualbox-ose, ive installed it but i get an error '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' and says install dkms first but it's already installed ?
[16:27] <ne7work> how to run ./hlds_run from /home/ne7work/hlds?
[16:27] <ubuntu> is any other mode to run installer
[16:27] <ne7work> /home/ne7work/hlds/./hlds_run or how?
[16:27] <dnivra> goltoof_, no clue. never heard of terminator. sorry :).
[16:28] <dnivra> ne7work, /home/ne7work/hlds/hlds_run should do it.
[16:28] <spencer_> mouka there are utilities to see what your CPU core temps are from the repos, try using that and see if it's a reasonable temp
[16:28] <genii-around> SubZero__: Perhaps check out http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/string-manipulation.html#RANDSTRING for ideas
[16:28] <goltoof_> dnivra:  npr, thx anyway
[16:28] <dnivra> ne7work, '.' is an alias for the current working directory. so if your current working directory is /home/ne7work/hlds, then it's enough to just do './hlds_run'.
[16:28] <slackguru> Last week I had notification from update-manager that Chromium Browser had critical updates but the updated package was not available in the repo I was using. I changed repos and the critical update was not listed. Today I switched to the MAIN SERVER to check to see if the previous notification was a false positive and it turns out it wasn't. Are the repos normally that out of sync?
[16:28] <mouka> I did, and the temperature is well below what would have triggered the fan
[16:29] <ubuntu> no any ideas? :(
[16:29] <spencer_> mouka it could be that the utility controlling the fan is slightly corrupted in ubuntu
[16:29] <itaylor57> slackguru: some use Chromium daily build
[16:29] <wilde> can anyone help with update-grub ??
[16:29] <mouka> spencer_: it probably is, and this is why I am seeking help here
[16:29] <patrunjel> Hi, i am using Ubuntu 10.04 and BOINC doesn't recognize my graphics card, even though i have one.Can somewone please help me set things up, so i can get the best results?  I have a ATI gpu
[16:29] <slackguru> itaylor57, I am not
[16:29] <mouka> what is the utility that controls the fan?
[16:29] <dnivra> Boo_Boo, best you ask in #vbox.
[16:30] <spencer_> You're sure that Windows has no problems with the fan? Also, how is it dual-booted? Please don't say wubi
[16:30] <ubuntu> is possible to run 10.10 installer in text mode???
[16:30] <bonjoyee> today i compiled ffmpeg from source...for that i also compiled libtheora from source and installed in /usr/local/lib
[16:30] <slackguru> itaylor57, it turns out there were many other packages in need of critical updating
[16:30] <bonjoyee> libtheora is also there in /usr/lib...now when a program need libtheora which one does it take?
[16:30] <bullgard> ubuntu The Alternate CD has an installer in text-mode.
[16:31] <dnivra> !anyone | wilde
[16:31] <ubuntu> i must download alternate disk?
[16:31] <farsheed>  /msg NickServ identify rrferl
[16:31] <bullgard> ubuntu: Yes.
[16:31] <unimatrix9> hi tereh
[16:31] <IdleOne> farsheed: change your nickserv password
[16:31] <farsheed> how?
[16:31] <gobbe> :-)
[16:31] <IdleOne> see #freenode for help
[16:32] <goltoof_> vi keeps telling me i have multiple swap files whenever i open, even after i just saved and closed.  how do i delete the other swap files?
[16:32] <unimatrix9> any one here has an working usb - utp print server ? Ubuntu ...
[16:32] <BluesKaj> farsheed, try it in the server textbox
[16:32] <unimatrix9> brand name
[16:32] <spencer_> mouka may I PM you?
[16:32] <unimatrix9> etc..
[16:32] <mouka> yes of course
[16:32] <slackguru> I see a problem with the repos being out of sync, does anyone else have this issue?
[16:32] <wrd> goltoof_: vim even asks you to delete those swapfiles iirc
[16:32] <Pici> slackguru: In what way are they 'out of sync'?
[16:33] <wrd> goltoof_: otherwise vim calls it's swap files .filename.swp
[16:33] <goltoof_> wrd:  yes it does :)
[16:33] <bullgard> '~$ nmcli nm wifi on' is accepted without complaint. Still, '~$ nmcli nm status; WiFi HARDWARE=disabled; WIFI=disabled' What went wrong?
[16:33] <bonjoyee> i.e if there are multiple versions of same lib (say libavcodec.so.1) in /usr/lib as well as in /usr/local/lib which one is used?
[16:33] <slackguru> Pici, The repo I was using listed no updates necessary and when I switch to the main ubuntu server i had 49 critical updates
[16:33] <goltoof_> wrd:  D did it thx
[16:33] <Pici> slackguru: Which mirror were you using?
[16:33] <Jemt> I now have a "default" Ubuntu environment running. Is it possible to remove a few meta-packages to bring the system to a state more similar to a server installation? (no desktop, no office applications etc?). I'm building a "kiosk" system which is supposed to run on a simple Window Manager and a browser
[16:33] <wrd> goltoof_: you can also use :set noswapfile
[16:33] <wrd> goltoof_: that prevents it from creating one in the first place :)

[16:34] <patrickw> is there an equivalent of /etc/redhat-release in Ubuntu?
[16:34] <slackguru> give me a sec and I will get the exact names
[16:34] <bonjoyee> patrickw: cat /etc/issue
[16:34] <goltoof_> wrd:  i use vim specifically for the swap file.
[16:34] <patrickw> bonjoyee: thanks
[16:35] <bonjoyee> patrickw: or lsb-release -a
[16:35] <goltoof_> wrd:  so i don't lose my notes.. better than gedit imho
[16:35] <farsheed> Idleone, Thanks
[16:35] <IdleOne> farsheed: welcome

[16:37] <slackguru> Pici, It appears that by switching to the main UBUNTU server that repo has been removed from the list all together...
[16:37] <y0_> hi
[16:37] <slackguru> Thanks for the link to launchpad

[16:38] <dnivra> !grub | wilde
[16:38] <bonjoyee> Jemt: you could install a minimal install from alternate-cd of from minimal cd..
[16:39] <bonjoyee> if there are multiple versions of same lib (say libavcodec.so.1) in /usr/lib as well as in /usr/local/lib which one is used?
[16:39] <Jemt> bonjoyee: Thank you, I know. Remastering the Live CD is what I want though.
[16:39] <patrickw> bonjoyee:  that would be even better, but my quite limited centos vm image doesn't have that command and the package has a ton of unnecessary dependencies.  :(
[16:40] <wrd> bonjoyee: it depends. on either LD_LIBRARY_PATH or on how you invoked ./configure
[16:40] <Jemt> The ubuntu-standard package is probably what I'm looking for, bonjoyee  :)

[16:41] <slackguru> Pici, it appears there aren't many repos up to date at all
[16:41] <dnivra> y0_, it should be listed in the right side in a box in xchat
[16:41] <bullgard> Jemt: Removing metapackages will not help.
[16:41] <Jemt> bullgard: Nope, I just realized that :-/
[16:41] <bonjoyee> wrd: could you elaborate or point me to an article?
[16:41] <Jemt> bullgard: Any change you can point me in the right direction ?

[16:42] <patrunjel> Hi, i am using Ubuntu 10.04 and BOINC doesn't recognize my graphics card, even though i have one.Can somewone please help me set things up, so i can get the best results?  I have a ATI gpu, i don't know the version :)
[16:42] <bullgard> Jemt: First remove the metapackages you distrust. Then remove the ordinary packages which you do not need.
[16:42] <Pici> slackguru: I use the kernel.org archive, its rather fast and up to date.
[16:43] <patrunjel> Hi, i am using Ubuntu 10.04 and BOINC doesn't recognize my graphics card, even though i have one. I have a ATI gpu, i don't know the version :) Can somewone help me install it on my Ubuntu, please?
[16:43] <toyotires> hello
[16:43] <y0_> no...user list not displayed...?
[16:43] <Jemt> bullgard: Okay, that's the "hard" way. I was looking for an easy way of removing all GUI applications. I just want Gnome and a browser. But that's not a problem. I'll grap a cup of cofee and start identifying packages :)
[16:43] <toyotires> can any one help installing a controller of a NIC?
[16:43] <y0_> any1 can help
[16:43] <insom^> alright guys, i'm considering a full ubuntu switch, but I'm noticing framerates in zsnes aren't as high as within windows, any suggestions, also fyi I'm running ubuntu off of a thumbdrive, though I don't see how that would make a huge difference
[16:44] <dnivra> y0_, View -> User list. ensure it's checked.
[16:44] <bullgard> Jemt: Yes, this hand procedure is kind of hard.
[16:44] <dnivra> y0_, for any more queries related to xchat i suggest you head to #xchat.
[16:44] <Jemt> bullgard: Thanks for the input :)
[16:44] <slackguru> Pici, Thanks for the suggestion but Kernel.org is listed as one week behind
[16:44] <y0_> ok...ty
[16:45] <Pici> slackguru: the us one is, but there is another entry on that list that is one day behind.
[16:45] <craiggles> hey guys, joined about a week ago about my ext hdd, appartly it's got bad hardware, it works fine with xp, although i cant get windows to format it (xp/7), im just connecting to get the error.
[16:46] <crickj> craiggles: what error?
[16:46] <barfster> When installing lucid, is ext2 new enough? Or do I have to use ext4?
[16:47] <digitalfiz> testing
[16:47] <Pici> barfster: ext2 is fine.
[16:47] <IdleOne> barfster: ext3 is good also
[16:47] <dnivra> barfster, course ext4 is the newest of them all :)
[16:48] <Okitain> Ext2 is ancient
[16:48] <Okitain> Ext3 is good
[16:48] <Okitain> ext4 is generally good, as Google folks say/
[16:48] <craiggles> crickj: im just plugging it in to get the precise erro.
[16:49] <barfster> ext2 and 3 is the same fs? no? just ext3 has added journaling?
[16:49] <barfster> Like HFS without/with journaling?
[16:50] <craiggles> crickj: now i cant even find it in Places, what command should i use to find it? it's name is Elements.
[16:50] <crickj> craiggles: System -> Admin -> Disk Utility - see if it's listed
[16:50] <Okitain> Yeah, and ext3 is slower thanks to it.
[16:51] <slackguru> Pici, thanks for the list it was a big help
[16:51] <Okitain> ext4 is faster.
[16:51] <patrunjel> Hi, i am using Ubuntu 10.04 and BOINC doesn't recognize my graphics card, even though i have one. I have a ATI gpu, i don't know the version :) Can somewone help me install it on my Ubuntu, please?
[16:51] <craiggles> crickj: yeah it's listed.
[16:52] <craiggles> "disk is healthy"
[16:52] <crickj> craiggles: but it doesn't auto-mount?
[16:52] <Boo_Boo> to check if you have a package already installed what apt command do you use ?
[16:52] <craiggles> crickj: seems not, i'm sure it was in the places menu but didn't mount.
[16:53] <IdleOne> Boo_Boo: apt-cache policy package
[16:54] <crickj> craiggles: what filesystem is on it? ntfs?
[16:54] <craiggles> Yeah.
[16:54] <Boo_Boo> thanks IdleOne
[16:54] <IdleOne> welcome
[16:54] <Okitain> How do I change my synclient settings so that they are actually stored
[16:54] <Okitain> ?
[16:55] <crickj> craiggles: Disk Utility should have a mount button when you click on the disk partition
[16:56] <craiggles> crickj: format drive, SMART data, safe removal, benchmark.
[16:56] <craiggles> is create partion the *wrong* option?
[16:57] <crickj> cariggles: you might need to click on the extended partition below the logical one
[16:57] <crickj> i.e. the one that says NTFS on it
[16:58] <Okitain> How do I change my synclient settings so that they are actually stored?
[16:59] <wart____> hi, where do people go to chat about poulsbo/gma500 and the psb/uvesa/emgd driver?
[16:59] <induz> चीजो    now how can I insert a Chandra matra on it
[17:00] <wart____> i've now got the emgd driver working (sorta) and watned to check in with people about their successes/failures.
[17:01] <spencer_> Has username "Mouka" popped back in here in the last 5 minutes or so? I was helping them, but then they had to switch to ubuntu's IRC client

[17:02] <Aihetleos> how to enable compiz ???
[17:02] <Okitain> Install it.
[17:03] <IdleOne> Aihetleos: System > Preferences > Appearance. click on the Visual effects tab and then click on the third (bottom) option.
[17:03] <IdleOne> Aihetleos: also you will need to install compizconfig-settinds-manager
[17:03] <IdleOne> Aihetleos: also you will need to install compizconfig-settings-manager
, thanks
[17:04] <IdleOne> then spend 3 days setting it all up and never use it again :)
[17:04] <IdleOne> Aihetleos: welcome

[17:06] <KM0201> WXZ: close the terminal window?
[17:06] <spencer_> WXZ just close the box

[17:09] <pinkisntwell> how come it's only possible to configure the acceleration value for the mouse? why can't i configure the speed it moves at when it's inside the threshold?
[17:11] <elik> With ubuntu 10.10 on my IBM R51, whenever I close my lid for too long, the screen will go black and never come back. The computer is still responsive (ssh). I tried killing power-manager or even the gnome session, but nothing could bring back the screen but a restart.
[17:11] <Vhozard> Can someone help me with fglrx 10.11 ?
[17:12] <JustinTArthur> Hey, with Ubuntu 10.10 amd64, if I select "Install alongside other operating systems", it tries to shrink my Windows partition instead of filling out into the free space I've got on the drive. Am I stuck with manually partitioning?
[17:12] <KM0201> JustinTArthur: pretty much
[17:14] <deww> elik: i have a feeling that's a thinkpad  issue. i've seen that on quite a few thinkpads running non linux based OSes as well
[17:15] <elik> deww: it's been a while since I had windows on this machine
[17:15] <elik> deww: but I don't remember having that issue
[17:15] <red2kic> JustinTArthur: Ubuntu does not use NTFS.
[17:15] <deww> elik: i've seen this issue with much older units tho (pentium 2 days)
[17:15] <Jemt> Is there a way to remove all language packages except a few select ?
[17:16] <Kartagis> mount says rw, cp says read-only file system. what gives?
[17:16] <red2kic> JustinTArthur: If you want to store Ubuntu on Windows partition so you can mess around with stuffs for experiment purposes -- then Install Wubi. Even although I admit I dislike Wubi.
[17:17] <noobie25> i just did a fresh install.... but when i scroll my browser window....everything is so slow.... like i have some crappy video card.

[17:20] <craiggles> crickj: i just formatted it.
[17:20] <arox> Hello again. I'm running into trouble trying to dual boot ubuntu onto my windows laptop. I burned the disk as an image, and when I boot it from the CD it loads up and shows the purple screen and "ubuntu" with the loading dots, but after being on that screen forever it says this error
[17:20] <crickj> craiggles: you need to create a new partition

[17:24] <dajhorn> noobie25: Did you install Fedora to a second partition, or did you really install Fedora on top of Ubuntu?
[17:24] <mohamed-ali> SEXY
[17:24] <noobie25> dajhorn:  second partition.

[17:24] <craiggles> crickj: well i created the partion, i tried removing it but.. A job is pending on /dev/sdb1
[17:24] <dajhorn> noobie25:  You probably just need to reinstall grub.   Ask ubottu about !grub.
[17:25] <craiggles> crickj: should the type be Linux 0x83? i'm wanting to use it with my guruplug.
[17:25] <sacarlson> fleshpike: I assume you mean how big it is size 100gb 133gb?  maybe try Aplications>Accesories>Disk Usage Analizer
[17:25] <noobie25> dajhorn: thanks
[17:26] <noobie25> !grub
[17:26] <dajhorn> noobie25: Welcome.
[17:26] <noobie25> dajhorn: thank you very much ...exactly what i needed
[17:26] <fleshpike> sacarlson : no it is something about speed
[17:27] <sacarlson> fleshpike: you want to know how fast 133MB/sec?
[17:27] <sacarlson> fleshpike: maybe try iotop
[17:28] <nimbiotics> what is a good channel to ask about telephony?
[17:28] <dajhorn> nimbiotics:  #asterisk
[17:28] <crickj> craiggles: do you mean the filesystem type?
[17:28] <craiggles> crickj: yeah.
[17:29] <craiggles> no, the partion type crickj.
[17:29] <nimbiotics> dajhorn: thx!
[17:29] <induz> but How V????
[17:29] <jarle> Any help on this apparmor problem? http://paste.ubuntu.com/544102/ I'm guess it might be related to me chmod'ing my ~ 700
[17:29] <induz> how can untar a file
[17:29] <dajhorn> nimbiotics: Welcome.
[17:29] <craiggles> crickj: also the loading icon is there there..i don't know why.
[17:30] <jarle> induz: "man tar" gives you "tar xvf <file>"
[17:30] <crickj> craiggles: if you want to create an ext4 filesystem on it (which guruplug will be able to use) then Linux 0x83 is correct
[17:31] <craiggles> good good, you have any idea what's happening? why it is that: "A job is pending on /dev/sdb1"
[17:31] <crickj> craiggles: but if you want an ntfs filesystem on it, then choose hpfs/ntfs 0x07
[17:31] <arox> I'm so lost with all this stuff. :(
[17:31] <sacarlson> jarle: ya looks like apparmor problem so what do you need to know about apparmor?
[17:32] <jarle> sacarlson: how do I solve the problem? (get rid of errors)
[17:32] <craiggles> crickj: righto, nah just linux is fine because ill be using the guru as my file server..i just don't know exactly what is doing, i mean is it stil creating the partion or..
[17:32] <craiggles> surely it wont be taking this long?
[17:33] <sacarlson> jarle: you need to eather configure apparmor or turn it off http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=812907
[17:33] <crickj> craiggles:  I've never formatted a 2tb drive before, but I guess it'll take a while
[17:33] <tacidsky> Hello, Is there a way to disable the screen blanking in Ubuntu Server? all I can find is things for Gnome and KDE disabling it.
[17:34] <dyn> hello?
[17:34] <bullgard> !jack | Hanmac
[17:34] <bullgard> !jpulseaudio | Hanmac
[17:34] <bullgard> !pulseaudio | Hanmac
[17:34] <jarle> sacarlson: so what is apparmor used for anyway?
[17:35] <sacarlson> jarle: here looks to be a method to disable it completly https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor
[17:35] <melter> is it possible to make a copy of a "search folder" in evolution?
[17:35] <dajhorn> tacidsky:  If you're not running X11 (like Gnome or KDE), then run `setterm -blank 0`.   See also /etc/default/console and the console utils.
[17:35] <sacarlson> jarle: it put a restriction of what a certain application is allowed to write to and read from
[17:35] <tacidsky> Thank you dajhorn
[17:35] <arox> My screen just went blank. Hm.
[17:35] <dajhorn> tacidsky: Welcome.
[17:35] <dyn> i'm using ubuntu 10.10, just upgraded, and my keymapping for 1 letter is not working, the letter d... it minimizes windows to go straight to desktop
[17:36] <dyn> i'm hoping someone can help me
[17:36] <dyn> this is only in VNC
[17:36] <dyn> if i'm at the terminal, it works fine..
[17:36] <sacarlson> jarle: it is like a jail or chroot method to keep an application from getting control or access to restricted parts of your system
[17:36] <dyn> i'm on a mac, using vnc to connect to my server, but without the letter d, it becomes really challenging to work
[17:36] <dyn> all the other keys work
[17:36] <dyn> any thoughts?
[17:37] <jarle> sacarlson: ok, guess problems are related to me moving /home to a different place and just symlinking to the new...
[17:37] <sacarlson> jarle: yes that could cause such a problem since the symlink location has the same restrictions at the point it links to
[17:37] <crickj> dyn:  Go to System -> Preferences -> Keyboard shortcuts and check the window management section
[17:39] <sacarlson> jarle: I have spend 2 days on almost the same problem so don't feel bad,  I thought I knew all about the security of linux but they added this new layer
[17:40] <dyn> crickj: YOU'RE A GENIUS!!!
[17:40] <dyn> thanks alot

[17:41] <arox> Can someone help me with my ubuntu dual boot please? :(
[17:42] <nimbiotics> dajhorn: this #asterisk channel is empty ... any other one i could use?

[17:42] <nimbiotics> dajhorn: sorry, its all good
[17:43] <sacarlson> nimbiotics: telephony?
[17:44] <SaFi2266> anyone help me to broadcast local redio station i have ununtu server and tv tuner
[17:44] <jarle> sacarlson: not quite sure if I understand why moving /home and then create a symlink would give me this problem?
[17:44] <Pici> nimbiotics: #asterisk is not empty, but you need to be registered and identified to join.
[17:44] <nimbiotics> sacarlson, yes
[17:44] <nimbiotics> Pici: got it, thx'
[17:44] <m15k> hi is it possible to confige gnome terminal to highlight a line with an other color

[17:45] <patrunjel> Hi, i am using Ubuntu 10.04 and BOINC doesn't recognize my graphics card, even though i have one. I have a ATI gpu, i don't know the version :) Can somewone help me install it on my Ubuntu, please?
[17:45] <c00kiemon5ter> hi people
[17:45] <patrunjel> hi
[17:46] <sacarlson> nimbiotics: off topic but what do you want something like skype with audio over ip?
[17:46] <c00kiemon5ter> a friend of mine screwed up his sound configuration
[17:46] <jarle> sacarlson: oki, so it sees that the path is now "expanded" to /biggen2/home/ instead of just /home, and then it reacts?
[17:46] <c00kiemon5ter> so now he reinstalled asla-* but there's no /proc/asound/cards
[17:46] <llutz> !info liblo0ldbl
[17:46] <sacarlson> jarle: ok you may need to restart it after you make the change before it take effect

[17:47] <RoboIRC> hi all
[17:47] <RoboIRC> can i install android x86 on any pc?!?
[17:48] <nimbiotics> sacarlson: no. I want 2 know if its possible to use a soft phone with a landline thru a modem on a windows machine
[17:48] <Jemt> Do I need to invoke a second command after this?  dpkg --set-selections < states.txt
[17:48] <willi_> help
[17:48] <c00kiemon5ter> !info alsa
[17:49] <q99999> alsa is often added.
[17:49] <c00kiemon5ter> what does that mean ?
[17:50] <sacarlson> nimbiotics: well again off topic but I can tell you yes,  assume you mean data over landline that can give you 56kb and you only need 10kb to do audio,  the windows part makes no difference
[17:50] <c00kiemon5ter> the bot died I think
[17:50] <RoboIRC> anybody?
[17:50] <SaFi2266> is possible to arrange icons in gnome as group like windows??
[17:50] <dajhorn> nimbiotics: #asterisk is populated.  Maybe you need to be logged-in.
[17:50] <q99999> ?whats the alsa question cookiemon5ter
[17:51] <IdleOne> RoboIRC: this is an Ubuntu channel, not android.
[17:51] <c00kiemon5ter> q99999: the question is how I can make a new /proc/asound/cards file
[17:51] <nimbiotics> sacarlson: no, what i'd like 2 do is make phone calls this way

[17:53] <patrunjel> geez...it's about installing some drivers for some hardware...
[17:55] <sbeck_> patrunjel, is there a driver for it installed
[17:55] <shahid_> hello.every one.first time using ubuntu and xchat.is this the help channel?
[17:55] <sbeck_> shahid_, yes it is.
[17:55] <RoboIRC> !repeat | ubottu
[17:55] <shahid_> i need help
[17:55] <RoboIRC> hmm smart bot
[17:56] <sbeck_> shahid_, ask your question, please, don't ask to ask.
[17:56] <patrunjel> sbeck_, no, i haven't installed nothing...i just need to install the driver for a ATI gpu (i don't know the model) so an application can use it...
[17:56] <brontoeee>  RoboIRC why, i know my name as well and everyone thinks iam dumb
[17:56] <arox> sbeck, I asked a few questions and never got any answer or acknowledgement. :\
[17:56] <sbeck_> patrunjel, what does jockey say ?
[17:57] <shahid_> the problem is that i installed ubuntu on win xp sp2.now when i restart i dn get the option to chose between os
[17:57] <mengu> hi. i was checking the packages and i saw that "ruby1.9.1 (<IP_ADDRESS>-1) [universe]"
[17:57] <patrunjel> sbeck_, sorry, what is jockey? i'm new to ubuntu :)
[17:57] <mengu> why the name doesn't match the version? if (<IP_ADDRESS>-1) is the version?
[17:57] <sbeck_> shahid_, it seems that the bootloader isn't installed in the right place.
[17:58] <sbeck_> !grub
[17:58] <induz> how do I get Hindi dictionary to work on OO
[17:58] <shahid_> ok.what should i do?
[17:58] <IsoLnCHiP> Any ideas how to setup X to use the ati drivers when run on real hardware and the guest additions when run in virtualbox? Ideally with autosensing? :)
[17:58] <sbeck_> shahid, look in ubottu's answer.
[17:59] <shahid_> i dont get it?
[17:59] <sbeck_> patrunjel, try this: ALT + F2 -> jockey -> ENTER
[17:59] <sbeck_> patrunjel, try this: ALT + F2 -> jockey-gtk -> ENTER
[17:59] <sbeck_> Not jockey

[18:00] <nemo> I'm getting bad sigs on update for download.virtualbox.org, archive.canonical.com, security.ubuntu.com, ppa.launchpad.net, us.archive.ubuntu.com etc....
[18:00] <nemo> I'm thinking it could be connection related
[18:00] <shahid_> ok.thank you very much
[18:00] <cap> I just burned an ISO, now it's creating a checksum.  It's going to take 2 and half hours!  DO i need to let this finish?
[18:00] <nemo> but I'm wondering if there's a way to check what it thinks it is doing
[18:00] <patrunjel> sbeck_, the driver was not activated :) thanks a lot
[18:00] <sbeck_> You're welcome.
[18:00] <sbeck_> :-)
[18:00] <induz> OO--Tools--language-- it takes me here
[18:01] <dajhorn> nemo:   Those repos are currently up and have good sigs.  Pastebin the error message.
[18:01] <crickj> cap: I suspect the time estimation is wrong
[18:03] <liminal> hello
[18:03] <Sub_Zero> I'm creating a debian package to install my GTK theme. It needs to go in the users $HOME/.themes/ folder. The deb package however will be executed as root. So I can't use the former string as it will copy it to the Root's themes folder.
[18:04] <alterego> How does ubuntu know when you're playing a file that requires restricted extra codecs and can therefore prompt the user to download the required package?
[18:04] <alterego> I'm working on a similar integration and I'll like to know how it's done :)
[18:04] <nemo> dajhorn: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/544114/
[18:05] <thomc> If I install xfce4 on top of a standard ubuntu  install, will it xfce run any slower than it would if it was the only install
[18:05] <nemo> dajhorn: running strace on apt-get update shows a lot of "no such file" for gpg stuff
[18:05] <erUSUL> Sub_Zero: install in /usr/share/themes/ where it belongs
[18:05] <thomc> ...ed desktop environment
[18:05] <sacarlson> alterego: I guess the header of the file has some info that is read to tell what codec is needed to play it or view it
[18:05] <nemo> dajhorn: /var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_maverick_Release.gpg
[18:05] <nemo> etc
[18:05] <nemo> dajhorn: is that normal?
[18:05] <Sub_Zero> erUSUL I tried that but it didn't appear in the themes tab along with the others
[18:05] <dajhorn> nemo:  Run `sudo apt-get clean` and try again.       Substitute us.archive for ca.archive, and then revert later.
[18:07] <nemo> dajhorn: m'k. although that presumably won't help the others
[18:07] <sacarlson> alterego: well if no one tells you best thing to do is look at the source code of a program that you know can do this check and find out how it does it
[18:07] <dajhorn> nemo:  No.  BTW,  us.archive.ubuntu.com is working properly for me right now.
[18:07] <nemo> dajhorn: btw. there are 5 gpg files under /var/lib/apt/lists - fingerprint-gui, ubuntu audio team, maverick securit and maverick updates
[18:07] <rothchild> hi, does anyone know about using https://ts3.flightplanningonline.co.uk/ with ubuntu maverick. It worked fine in earlier versions but now all that happens is it asks me if I want to open the app with java webstart, I say yes, it downloads a .xjnlp file and does nothing more?!
[18:07] <nemo> dajhorn: presumably the contents of security.ubuntu.com should match yours? if I ran an md5sum?
[18:08] <alterego> sacarlson: yeah, doing that now ;)
[18:08] <dajhorn> nemo: a66d95d5fd3e4891e0731c04622239ca *./security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_maverick-security_Release.gpg
[18:09] <sacarlson> alterego: never herts to ask you might find someone with a better answer
[18:09] <JustinTArthur> KM0201 and red2kic - just an FYI for the windows partition install issue I was having. Apparently, the "Alternate Installer" still has the "use the largest contiguous free space" option for guided partitioning. So, I'm good to go, though it's annoying it's been removed from the Live CD installer.
[18:09] <nemo> dajhorn: 'cause that'd be b40c4d1b28a7c6bdd5ed4e084710122a for security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_maverick-security_Release.gpg
[18:09] <dajhorn> nemo:  We have different GPG files.
[18:09] <Lazyvee> hello everyone, i've got a problem upgrading to Ubuntu 10.10 and I hope someone can help! My laptop froze while upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10 and now when I start the OS it says files are missing and freezes on the login screen. What shoul I do?
[18:10] <nemo> dajhorn: http://m8y.org/tmp/gpg/ - all my gpg files
[18:10] <crickj> Lazyvee: I would backup personal data and install 10.10 from scratch
[18:10] <nemo> dajhorn: hm. this is moderately worrying...
[18:11] <B45h_V|> anyone having a OCZ Revodrive or OCZ Revodrive X2?
[18:11] <dajhorn> nemo:  I can't click that link.   Download the file manually and compare it:  http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick-security/Release.gpg
[18:12] <nemo> m'k
[18:12] <arox> I just need help updating my netbook from Xubuntu to Ubuntu Netbook.  I've already run the update, I just can't seem to get Xubuntu off of here.
[18:12] <Lazyvee> crickj: alright, seems simpler than I thought :-) thanks
[18:12] <DexterLB> hello, I have a problem: on my ubuntu-server, DNS lookups are dead slow. I have had that trouble on ubuntu desktops, and I have fixed it by disabling ipv6. I disabled ipv6 on the server too though, but it doesn't help. Any ideas?
[18:12] <goltoof_> Lazyvee, what's the problem? sometimes i'll recomend reinstall when it was something simple
[18:12] <nemo> dajhorn: they are indeed different
[18:13] <arox> Am I muted or just crazy? Haha
[18:13] <dajhorn> nemo: Okay, you indeed have a problem.
[18:13] <B45h_V|> anyone having an OCZ Revodrive or OCZ Revodrive X2?
[18:13] <nemo> dajhorn: 34 chars of the sig are identical. then it changes.
[18:13] <dajhorn> nemo:   Is APT downloading things through a proxy?
[18:13] <dajhorn> nemo: Do you have any other PPA installed other than TualatriX?
[18:14] <nemo> dajhorn: audio team, tualatrix, fingerprint gui
[18:14] <noobie25> !grub
[18:14] <Lazyvee> goltoof: I don't know what's wrong, but I will just install from scratch, that's much simpler
[18:14] <shebh> hi gyus
[18:14] <JustinTArthur> arox, upgrading from Xubuntu to Ubuntu could be strange. You may want to back up your data and start fresh with Ubuntu.
[18:14] <sacarlson> DexterLB: well the tool for dns is dig,  you also need to look at what you have setup for you dns server by looking at /etc/resolv.conf  you can replace what your ISP gives you with your own bind9 server or you could look at opendns.com
[18:15] <nirazio> What do these commands do? "Acquire::http::No-Cache=True -o " "Acquire::BrokenProxy=true update " "Acquire::http::Max-Age "0""
[18:15] <nemo> dajhorn: all the gpg files have recent time stamps. would that be normal?
[18:15] <jpds> nirazio: Disables the caching features of apt.
[18:15] <nemo> dajhorn: 2010-12-13 for all but fingerprint-gui, 2010-12-11 for fingerprint-gui
[18:15] <dajhorn> nemo:   Yes, but the GPG files shouldn't be different than the files on the Ubuntu server.
[18:15] <nirazio> jpds: All those three commands??
[18:15] <B45h_V|> Actually the DNS-server Google offers turned out to be working quite well for me (<IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS>) - easy to remember too... :)
[18:15] <stermi> someone can suggest me some good screecast software?
[18:16] <Lazyvee> thanks for helping! see you later with more questions haha
[18:16] <dajhorn> nemo:  I would make a backup of anything that you care about.   This is problem that Should Never Happen.
[18:16] <DexterLB> sacarlson: in resolv i have the default gateway set as nameserver, but nslookup does the lookup instantly so the problem is not with the network
[18:16] <DexterLB> wget lynx etc though take about 30sec to do a dns lookup
[18:16] <B45h_V|> Nixiepixel lately did a review of an advanced screencasting-tool on www.youtube.com/nixiedoeslinux
[18:16] <DexterLB> sacarlson: will try dig now
[18:16] <nemo> dajhorn: there isn't too much I care about. you'd suggest a clean install?
[18:17] <dajhorn> nemo:  Yup.  And be watchful about PPAs.    If you intend to reinstall, then try ppa-purge first.
[18:17] <DexterLB> yep, dig does dns lookup for 84milliseconds, however wget takes 38sec
[18:18] <sacarlson> DexterLB: with dig you can compare performance of what your ISP gives you and others like opendns.com or ?
[18:18] <B45h_V|> sacarlson: german?
[18:18] <DexterLB> sacarlson: dns lookups themselves are ok
[18:18] <DexterLB> dig does them fast
[18:18] <nirazio> jpds: what abt this Acquire::http::Max-Age "0"
[18:18] <DexterLB> but all the rest of software do them slow
[18:19] <sacarlson> DexterLB: a simple test is to ping google.com and see how fast it resolves the ip number before it pings,  no I don't speak german
[18:19] <jpds> nirazio: Max time to keep packages around for.
[18:19] <arox> Hm. I'm trying to use my USB flash drive to boot it, but it's not reading my drive
[18:20] <rothchild> I'm trying to get this app to work in ubuntu: http://pastebin.com/V3QxinS3 is there any reason why it doesn't work in Maverick when it worked in previous versions? Need a Java webapp expert please
[18:20] <arox> When i put it in, it says "according to mtab, /dev/sda1 is already mounted on"
[18:20] <i_is_broke> arox, does your bios support booting from a usb?
[18:20] <sacarlson> DexterLB: if ping does it fast,  how did you isolate that the problem is DNS then?
[18:20] <arox> Yeah, I already booted Xubuntu onto it and cleared out that crappy Win7 Starter.
[18:20] <arox> It's an Acer Aspire One, running Xubuntu 10.10 right now but I'd prefer Ubuntu Netbook.
[18:21] <DexterLB> sacarlson: well, ping does it instantly but wget sticks on Resolving google.com... for 30sec or so
[18:21] <crickj> arox: is the problem with grub or ubuntu?
[18:21] <nirazio> jpds: And last one Acquire::BrokenProxy=true update ???
[18:21] <coz_> rothchild,   do yhou have  icedtea  or sun java installed?
[18:21] <arox> The main problem is that I installed Ubuntu netbook but it's still booting xubuntu
[18:21] <rothchild> @coz sun (I think) just double checking
[18:21] <sacarlson> DexterLB: well internet speed is never the same,  try change the /etc/resolv.conf and see if it improves or gets worse
[18:22] <coz_> rothchild,   open synaptic package manager  hit Search and type in  icedtea
[18:22] <i_is_broke> arox, when you go to log in , look at the bottom and see if you can change desktops.
[18:22] <arox> Ok brb.
[18:22] <jpds> nirazio: No idea, sorry, it's not mentioned in 'man apt.conf'
[18:23] <theacolyte> I have a laptop and whenever I dock/undock it pushes all the gnome bar stuff over to the smaller resolution. is there a way to avoid this?
[18:23] <rothchild> coz_ yes icedtea is installed
[18:23] <coz_> rothchild,  ok now in synaptic... hit Settings  then repositories
[18:23] <i_is_broke> speaking of java....coffee..:D
[18:23] <rothchild> coz_ do I need medibuntu?
[18:24] <coz_> rothchild,  not for java applications no
[18:24] <rothchild> I have it already (sorry if I'm jumping ahead)
[18:24] <resixian> im looking for a script to perform unattended upgrade from 9.x to 10.10, i have 25 laptops to upgrade
[18:24] <coz_> rothchild,  now when that dialog opes  click the "Other software "  tab
[18:24] <emarkd> Hello
[18:24] <coz_> rothchild,  make sure the partner repos are enabled  then close that and hit the "Reload" button  tell me when that is finished
[18:25] <arox> It worked. :]
[18:25] <smallfoot-> package 'rhyme' was in dapper, hardy, karmic, now its gone, why?
[18:25] <arox> Thank you, i_is_broke. :]
[18:25] <rothchild> coz_ is done
[18:26] <DexterLB> sacarlson: hmm, also disabling ipv6 in kernel parameters fixed it
[18:26] <coz_> rothchild,  ok now hit Search and type in  sun java  and install the sun-java6-plugin and it will pulll down the needed stuff but dont install yet
[18:26] <arox> Now I just have to get my regular laptop to work and I'll be set.
[18:26] <i_is_broke> arox, yw
[18:26] <Pici> smallfoot-: According to LP, its dead upstream. see https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhyme/+publishinghistory
[18:26] <rothchild> coz_ yes I can see packages returned by search
[18:27] <rocket16> Hello folks
[18:27] <coz_> rothchild,  after ticking sun java plugin hit Search again and type in icedtea    and right click ALL of the packages listed there for complete removal
[18:27] <arox> Anybody know why when I boot regular Ubuntu on my Dell  it's saying something about Busybox and initramfs and udevd failed while handling..
[18:27] <smallfoot-> but its still useful
[18:27] <sacarlson> DexterLB: my isp doesn't support ipv6,  does 10.10 use a ipv6 tunnel setup now?
[18:27] <smallfoot-> was useful for me
[18:27] <arox> I can type verbatim what it's saying but it's saying input/output error, mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed.
