[09:05] <zend_fan> im in media
[09:05] <DasEi> zend_fan: mount              , where is usb mounted ?
[09:05] <Guest73747> oh thanks
[09:05] <MASARUwota> arand: o reilly? damn D:
[09:06] <zend_fan> in /media/
[09:06] <diddy> Is it possible to continue to listen to music under a different user?
[09:06] <diddy> I mean if I log in as A and start some MP3 file, then when I switch users I can no longer listen to the song under a different user.
[09:06] <UbuntuN00B> arand so hit N enter?
[09:06] <Myrtti> UbuntuN00B: did you run it with -fy?
[09:06] <DasEi> zend_fan: just /media ? no /media/usb or sth. ?
[09:06] <MASARUwota> arand: that would explain why "su - <name>" changes to someones username instead of only root.
[09:06] <Myrtti> UbuntuN00B: do NOT run fsck on mounted drive
[09:06] <zend_fan> /media/2CC7-92B5/
[09:06] <zend_fan> thats the usb
[09:06] <Steveturner> MASARUwota?
[09:06] <arand> Guest73747: look ath the grub2 ubuntu wiki
[09:06] <arand> !grub2
[09:06] <MASARUwota> zend_fan: unmount and remount it
[09:07] <Guest73747> oki doo
[09:07] <zend_fan> tried unmounting
[09:07] <MASARUwota> Steveturner: try googling a little, its a generic problem..
[09:07] <UbuntuN00B> Myrtti no didn't use -fy and aborted the process now back to command line
[09:07] <MASARUwota> zend_fan: first unmount, then remount with -o rw
[09:07] <ngirard> Hi all. I'm suffering trying to get vnc to work along with NX between two ubuntu 9.10 boxes. Let's call C the client box and S the server box. I succeeded in starting a regular unix session from C to S, but failed with vnc
[09:07] <DasEi> zend_fan: sudo chown -R zend_fan  (or your regular username) /media/2CC7-92B5
[09:07] <Myrtti> UbuntuN00B: good
[09:07] <ngirard> On S, I wish I could use vino as the vnc server, as it is ubuntu's default. It's up and running, already listening on 5900 port.
[09:07] <ngirard> Still on S, I could get vnc to work locally by starting several vnc clients and connecting to <IP_ADDRESS>:5900. It works
[09:07] <ngirard> So why the hell can't I make it work distantly if it works locally ?
[09:07] <zend_fan> tried chmod 777
[09:07] <AdvoWork> DasEi, urgh, didnt work with fat32 either: Input/output error during write on /dev/sdb
[09:08] <arand> UbuntuN00B: ok, let's instead schedule the fsck for next boot.
[09:08] <DasEi> AdvoWork: try gparted > new parti-table > type msdos
[09:08] <UbuntuN00B> Myrtti I have no idea what I'm doing I'm just letting you guys guid me aimlessly lolz XD
[09:08] <arand> UbuntuN00B: use "touch /forcefsck"
[09:08] <UbuntuN00B> arand how do I do this?
[09:08] <DasEi> zend_fan: 777 could be, less secure, though, but have to -R it (subfolders)
[09:08] <DasEi> man chmod
[09:08] <arand> and then reboot
[09:09] <Myrtti> UbuntuN00B: never hurts to check with google if the commands are safe
[09:09] <DasEi> zend_fan: better own it to regular user
[09:09] <zend_fan> yeah used 777 -R just my usb want to transfer all my files off by as its read only wont let me
[09:09] <UbuntuN00B> arand that command line didn't work
[09:10] <Steveturner> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/ppa
[09:11] <arand> Myrtti: do you know if there is any way to get to the maintenance mode where the root fs isn't mounted?
[09:11] <arand> UbuntuN00B: any errors?
[09:11] <DasEi> zend_fan: sudo chmod -R 777 /media/2.. didn't the trick ? forgot sudo ?
[09:11] <Steveturner> MASARUwota^
[09:11] <Steveturner> woops
[09:11] <UbuntuN00B> arand no such file or directory
[09:11] <Steveturner> The user `steve' is already a member of `audio'.
[09:11] <Steveturner> that
[09:11] <DasEi> AdvoWork: found gparted's option ?
[09:11] <AdvoWork> DasEi, doh, i dont see a type msdos. sorry for all this
[09:12] <DasEi> np
[09:12] <zend_fan> it runs thru but nah dont do it :(
[09:12] <UbuntuN00B> arand oops didn't use a space fter touch now I did it again and it didn't say anything
[09:12] <UbuntuN00B> just a new command line
[09:13] <Myrtti> arand: livecd
[09:13] <UbuntuN00B> arand do i need to restart somehow to see if it worked?
[09:13] <Myrtti> UbuntuN00B: ls /forcefsck
[09:13] <DasEi> AdvoWork: fourth columm from the right, make new partition table
[09:14] <MASARUwota> UbuntuN00B: if it doesnt say anything, then it worked =)
[09:14] <DasEi> AdvoWork: CAREFULL!  select the usb !
[09:15] <UbuntuN00B> Myrtti I used your command and it put a line "/forcefsck" then a new command line
[09:15] <arand> UbuntuN00B: then it was sucessful, now reboot
[09:15] <arand> And let it boot normally
[09:17] <UbuntuN00B> do I coldboot it or use a command to reboot?
[09:17] <racks0r> guys anyone using the new kubuntu-netbook thing?
[09:17] <UbuntuN00B> power button? or command reboot?
[09:17] <DasEi> UbuntuN00B: sudo reboot
[09:19] <arand> Myrtti: true, for fsck it would be one way, but if this one doesn't give any errors the fs should be ok, and we'll have to go into rreinstalling the video drivers, which is simpler from recovery mode
[09:19] <UbuntuN00B> I guess I should mention that every time I shut the computer off I have to turn it on then off then on again just for it to start up I dont know why this is.
[09:20] <UbuntuN00B> like I'll turn it on then it will do nothing then I turn it off then on and I get the beep and everything loads
[09:20] <UbuntuN00B> arand its doing a routine check at the Ubuntu splash screen I guess this is a good thing?
[09:21] <UbuntuN00B> arand the check finished and I still have the same problem with my screen :(
[09:22] <plitter> could someone help me with configuring 2 screens?
[09:22] <plitter> i have a nvidia proprietary driver
[09:22] <arand> UbuntuN00B: ok let's go into recovery again and try reinstalling the video driver.
[09:23] <arand> UbuntuN00B: what is your video card?
[09:23] <UbuntuN00B> I don't know if this all happend when I tried to overclock with Eee aplet and nothing happen so I uninstalled the Eee applet and then rebooted
[09:23] <Husskii> hey guys thanks heaps, all is sorted now :) I passed the permissions bit then hit another brick wall but since I had the permissions to edit the needed file, I was able to complete the install, now I have joomla installed :D
[09:23] <arand> UbuntuN00B: and are you using proprietary or defautl drivers?
[09:23] <UbuntuN00B> arand ATI Radeon 9550 and drivers that Ubuntu gave me.
[09:24] <DasEi> AdvoWork: found it ?
[09:25] <UbuntuN00B> arand I'm in recovery menu
[09:25] <arand> UbuntuN00B: so you installed extra drivers, using the hardware drivers app?
[09:27] <arand> UbuntuN00B: go to root shell again
[09:27] <UbuntuN00B> arand no I didn't install any drivers whatever Ubuntu used by default I guess
[09:27] <UbuntuN00B> arand in root hell
[09:27] <UbuntuN00B> shell*
[09:28] <UbuntuN00B> well to me its hell lolz
[09:29] <Xaero252> so pretty much the weirdest issue I have ever seen, I just installed a virt-manager and created a virtual machine and installed XP on it, I used the XP install & my xp disc in conjunction with N-Lite to create an AHCI compatible XP install disc for use on a PC build for a friend, and when I went to burn it, I am now unable to burn cd images; prior to installing the virtualization software, I had just burned an Ubuntu disc since my frien
[09:29] <MASARUwota> !doesntwork|Xaero252
[09:29] <Xaero252> Masaru, read what I typed
[09:29] <Xaero252> nice try
[09:29] <MASARUwota> Xaero252: :/ what did it say
[09:30] <Xaero252> I pastebin'd what it reported, it just simply said it was "Unable to burn the CD/DVD image"
[09:30] <Xaero252> There was more meat than me just saying "Ubuntu doesn't work when I try to burn a cd"
[09:31] <UbuntuN00B> arand what do I do when I'm in the root shell?
[09:31] <arand> UbuntuN00B: hang on..
[09:31] <MASARUwota> Xaero252: wheres the
[09:31] <UbuntuN00B> arand kk
[09:31] <MASARUwota> the pastebin
[09:32] <Xaero252> Xaero252: so pretty much the weirdest issue I have ever seen, I just installed a virt-manager and created a virtual machine and installed XP on it, I used the XP install & my xp disc in conjunction with N-Lite to create an AHCI compatible XP install disc for use on a PC build for a friend, and when I went to burn it, I am now unable to burn cd images; prior to installing the virtualization software, I had just burned an Ubuntu disc sinc
[09:32] <Xaero252> right at the end
[09:32] <arand> UbuntuN00B: first, just to make sure
[09:33] <arand> UbuntuN00B: "dpkg -l | grep fglrx" gives just the modaliases package right?

[09:43] <BadSTuff> hi. i have a dell vostro 1720 with karmic installed. recently i noticed that the hard drive never spins down. even if i run hdparm -Y /dev/sda, it does spin down, but spins up again a few seconds later. any ideas what might cause this?
[09:43] <james_> anyone here a good artist or good with gimp or xsane?
[09:43] <zvacet> !ot | james
[09:43] <UbuntuN00B> arand kk let me do that
[09:43] <arand> UbuntuN00B: and then "aptitude install xorg-driver-fglrx"
[09:44] <arand> UbuntuN00B: IRC is on a bit of lag for me, bue I'm still here
[09:44] <james_> i need a tattoo drawn for me
[09:44] <james_> but i can draw too well myself
[09:44] <james_> *cant draw too well myself
[09:44] <faheem_> also another problem i have been having is as soon as i update to 9.10 ubuntu my tocuhpad stops working, does anyone else have this issue?
[09:45] <DJones> james_: This is the wrong channel to ask for that, its a support only channel
[09:45] <neil_d> I just got a new webcam "Bus 002 Device 003: ID 04f2:a147 Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd"  http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/#download says it is supported :)   but it doesn't seem to be working.. how can I test it?
[09:45] <UbuntuN00B> arand k it freed up space and uninstalled 7 files I think. its asking me to continue
[09:47] <DasEi> neil_d: install sane, see if gets detected, and also look in /var/log/syslog after restarting /dbus avahi ..
[09:48] <UbuntuN00B> arand k its installing drivers
[09:48] <UbuntuN00B> arand now im at a new command line again.
[09:48] <znh> Hello channel. I'd like to archieve microphone loopback to my headphones. Anyone willing to guide me through?
[09:49] <neil_d> DasEi: xsane says "Failed to open device 'v4l:/dev/vider0': Invalid argument"
[09:49] <arand> do that, [y]
[09:50] <iflema> atom_fox do ati 3d drivers setup a xorg.conf? /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:51] <Xfact> hello?
[09:52] <DJones> !hi | Xfact
[09:52] <arand> neil_d: DasEi: I would say use cheese instead to test webcam, xsane has had problems with webcams which worked otherwise for me
[09:52] <UbuntuN00B> arand shound I sudo reboot after I installing drivers?
[09:52] <znh> Xfact, hello!
[09:52] <_DarkStar_> hi...
[09:52] <arand> UbuntuN00B: so you've removed and unistalled sucessfully?
[09:52] <GutZuWiSSeN> anyone installed ZendServer on ubuntu?
[09:53] <Xfact> znh: hi
[09:53] <pjoshi> how to create a new IRC chat room ??
[09:53] <MASARUwota> !hi|_DarkStar_
[09:54] <MASARUwota> pjoshi: join an empty one
[09:54] <MASARUwota> !ot|pjoshi
[09:54] <maxagaz> after changing /boot/grub/menu.lst, do i need to restart grub ?
[09:54] <arand> yea, just "reboot" (since in recovery you are already root)
[09:54] <UbuntuN00B> arand I removed and installed now waiting at command line
[09:54] <UbuntuN00B> arand k
[09:55] <Slart> pjoshi: it's a little different depending on the irc server software.. usually if you join an empty room it is created just for you.. sometimes you have to talk to the server admins
[09:55] <rww> pjoshi: to create one, just /join to it. To register it, see /msg chanserv help. Please ask IRC network-related questions in #freenode.
[09:55] <Xfact> I've made my first video on ubuntu desktop to help people, what you think? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XH4ZkiSMNwA (I am thinking about to make more)
[09:55] <pjoshi> sorry.. for the trouble.. thanks for all the info..
[09:56] <UbuntuN00B> arand nope same messed up screen :(
[09:57] <_DarkStar_> what are you trying to do UbuntuN00B?
[09:57] <MASARUwota> Xfact: jiggling around with compiz?
[09:57] <arand> pjoshi: join a unused channelname
[09:57] <iflema> atom_fox model F80S is this correct?
[09:58] <neil_d> I have a new webcam.  lsusb = "Bus 002 Device 003: ID 04f2:a147 Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd"   http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/#download indicates I need the uvcvideo driver..  "lsmod | grep uvc -"  indicates it is loaded.. but xsane says "Failed to open device 'v4l:/dev/video0': Invalid argument."   what is wrong ?
[09:58] <UbuntuN00B> _DarkStar_ every time I start up Ubuntu after the splash screen and loading it flashes a messed up screen then it shows a screen with like 6 Ubuntu logos and at the bottom its like a white and black stipped effect like a barcode
[09:58] <Xfact> >>>
[09:59] <arand> _DarkStar_: Random hiccup seems to have borked video drivers.
[10:03] <MecTon> yooooooooooooo
[10:03] <MASARUwota> Xfact: ?
[10:03] <MASARUwota> Xfact: i think explaining how LINUX works, instead of moving around with compiz windows, is more usefull.  imho
[10:03] <_DarkStar_> i had the same problem lol..
[10:03] <_DarkStar_> though i just kept reinstalling :P
[10:03] <atom_fox> iflema, yup :)
[10:03] <atom_fox> sorry for the late reply
[10:03] <_DarkStar_> i actually still have the problem
[10:03] <_DarkStar_> leaving my laptop to idle... it does that
[10:03] <_DarkStar_> i shake the mouse its fine lol
[10:03] <iflema> atom_fox :(
[10:03] <MecTon> il n'y a qu'une seule salle ?
[10:03] <MecTon> pkoi le Lag augmente ?
[10:04] <MASARUwota> !fr|MecTon
[10:04] <iflema> atom_fox know issuse with this model... straight from the hourses mouth ASUS
[10:04] <iflema> atom_fox problem with windows... problems full stop... what is the bios version you are on???
[10:04] <MASARUwota> MecTon: /join #ubuntu-fr
[10:04] <UbuntuN00B> arand I'm running the recovery cd just to see what happens maybe it will fix it and save us both the trouble if not then well I guess Im going to be out of luck huh?
[10:06] <atom_fox> iflema, I'm sorry I don't understand :(
[10:06] <atom_fox> iflema, maybe I'll reboot first so I would know my bios?
[10:06] <arand> UbuntuN00B: From now on I don't know what to do, if you want to get to the files on the ubuntu install, you could use a livecd to copy them out. And then reinstall the whole thing. But someone else might have better suggestions on how to fix it.
[10:07] <iflema> atom_fox google f80s freeze the first result 4 me is DO NOT BUY asus F80S
[10:07] <atom_fox> iflema, i think 8.14 is my BIOS version
[10:08] <chipzy> hi
[10:08] <atom_fox> iflema, my f80s works fine in windows, slackware... I've used it for a yea, never experience any freeze
[10:09] <MASARUwota> iflema, i get other results :|
[10:09] <UbuntuN00B> arand livecd?
[10:09] <iflema> atom_fox that helps
[10:09] <MASARUwota> !livecd
[10:09] <atom_fox> i mean for a year, I don't experience any freeze
[10:10] <atom_fox> iflema, http://pastebin.com/m604bcc21
[10:10] <some-random> i've just installed ubuntu, but nothing shows on the monitor, "input not supported" - how can I get around this
[10:10] <some-random> windows and opensuse run fine on this machien
[10:11] <iflema> atom_fox if youve been cruising for a year+ its not the bios
[10:12] <atom_fox> yup :)
[10:12] <atom_fox> iflema, the freezing only occurs here on 9.10
[10:12] <no_mind> I am creating a raid 1 array on ubuntu and get this error "mdadm: Cannot open /dev/sda1: Device or resource busy" what could be wrong ?
[10:12] <atom_fox> in experience an hour ago when I try to run ktorrent, xchat, firefox at the same time... that was the last freeze I had today
[10:12] <neil_d> I have a new webcam.  lsusb = "Bus 002 Device 003: ID 04f2:a147 Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd"   http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/#download indicates I need the uvcvideo driver..  "lsmod | grep uvc -"  indicates it is loaded.. but xsane says "Failed to open device 'v4l:/dev/video0': Invalid argument."   what is wrong ?
[10:12] <MASARUwota> some-random: when does this show up? during boot?
[10:12] <atom_fox> iflema, in my experience an hour ago when I try to run ktorrent, xchat, firefox at the same time... that was the last freeze I had today
[10:12] <Myrtti> xsane?
[10:12] <Myrtti> neil_d: why are you trying with xsane?
[10:12] <iflema> atom_fox some say it comes and goes..
[10:13] <MASARUwota> atom_fox KTORRENT? a QT bloated piece of software on a GNOME environment? :|
[10:13] <neil_d> Myrtti: someone said I could test with that..
[10:13] <disappearedng> anyway to tell openoffice presntation to output text in ascii?
[10:13] <Myrtti> neil_d: you might have ekiga installed, try with that. or vlc
[10:14] <iflema> atom_fox and stock live environments do the same?
[10:14] <neil_d> Myrtti: vlc is working fine...
[10:14] <arand> UbuntuN00B: the normal CD by which you install ubuntu, the "live" environment you get when choosing "try without change"
[10:14] <Myrtti> neil_d: you tried with "open capture device"?
[10:15] <nixjr> im going through a guide on ubuntuguide.org which tells me to goto System -> Administration-> Advanced ... however i have no "advanced" in my administration menu
[10:15] <atom_fox> iflema, stock live?
[10:16] <atom_fox> iflema, what's that?
[10:16] <UbuntuN00B> arand ahh kk thanks :)
[10:16] <iflema> atom_fox a live cd... say ubuntu 9.10 booted live... does it hang?
[10:16] <atom_fox> nope...
[10:16] <iflema> atom_fox positive....?
[10:16] <atom_fox> iflema, it works fine on the live cd...
[10:17] <iflema> atom_fox process of elimination... its really hard to say.
[10:17] <atom_fox> I never experience freezing in the live cd... maybe I'll try to use it for a week?
[10:17] <mezitan> mezitan
[10:17] <UbuntuN00B> arand yeah the recovery cd wasnt much help I'm going to attempt this livecd thing
[10:17] <MASARUwota> atom_fox: maybe install a different distro?
[10:17] <atom_fox> iflema, did you find anything that could help from the copy of log I gave you?
[10:18] <Quan-Time_> i have just installed a USB DVB-t dongle.. it detects and works fine,, BUT i cant scan channels. i tried "w_scan".. anyone know of anything else which might help me get a channel list ? im using me-tv
[10:18] <iflema> atom_fox a day or two... stick with whats there...transmission, empathy etc..
[10:18] <Slart> nixjr: do you have an url to that guide?
[10:18] <Quan-Time_> i have just installed a USB DVB-t dongle.. it detects and works fine,, BUT i cant scan channels. i tried "w_scan".. anyone know of anything else which might help me get a channel list ? im using me-tv
[10:18] <mezitan> wo lai la
[10:18] <MASARUwota> mezitan?
[10:19] <atom_fox> ok, for now I'll check and observe if the system freeze when I use it in live cd
[10:19] <nixjr> Slart, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Jaunty#Associate_default_applications
[10:19] <Slart> !cn | mezitan
[10:19] <atom_fox> iflema, but I'm really thinking that it's related with the hardware driver of ATI, I'n just not sure about it.
[10:19] <dfgdfgdf> hello
[10:20] <dfgdfgdf> have anyone make HP DV6 remote control work with ubuntu?
[10:20] <Quan-Time_> dfgdfgdf: nope.. but i just got my dinovo mini workin ;)
[10:20] <iflema> atom_fox so run without it... /etc/X11/xorg.conf and replace flgrlx with vesa... leave compiz disabled
[10:21] <iflema> atom_fox under the device section i think it is
[10:21] <mezitan> ok!thank you very much.
[10:21] <atom_fox> ??
[10:21] <atom_fox> iflema, what do you mean in the device section?
[10:22] <UbuntuN00B> okay Im in Live CD now so what do I do to back things up? I don't see any of my original files and programs?
[10:22] <iflema> atom_fox gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[10:22] <Slart> nixjr: I don't have a jaunty machine available at the moment.. I don't really remember an advanced menu in the system administration menu.. but I might be wrong
[10:22] <MASARUwota> UbuntuN00B: what DO you want to backup?
[10:22] <Quan-Time_> UbuntuN00B: ok.. you wanna back up your windows partition ? is that what you mean ?
[10:22] <tokk1> Hello, Im totally new with ubuntu and yesterday when I was installing some drivers I suddenly got this msg: E: Rad 54 i källistan /etc/apt/sources.list har fel format (dist-tolkning)
[10:22] <tokk1> E: The list of sources could not be read.
[10:22] <tokk1> Go to the repository dialog to correct the problem.
[10:22] <tokk1> E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
[10:22] <arand> UbuntuN00B: If I was being diffuse, I meant you can use the liveCD to make backups of any important files, and then do a complete new install of ubuntu.
[10:22] <FloodBot2> tokk1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:22] <znh> Anyone experience with a virtualized Ubuntu Desktop environment on decent high-end hardware?
[10:23] <UbuntuN00B> I want to be able to reinstall 9.04 and put all the files and programs back on without having to manually find them all again.
[10:23] <Slart> !anyone | znh
[10:23] <MASARUwota> tokk1, please translate the message or visit the corresponding language channel (i.e. #ubuntu-de for german)
[10:23] <nixjr> Slart, ive only had ubuntu two days so please excuse my ignorance, but is it worth changing to something other then jaunty?
[10:23] <MASARUwota> znh: you mean vmware/vbox/qemu? yes
[10:23] <tokk1> yeah just saw that it was in swedish, thx
[10:24] <atom_fox> iflema, ok now I get it... I'll observe it for now...
[10:24] <MASARUwota> tokk1 sorry, i suck at identifying scandinavian languages :X
[10:24] <atom_fox> iflema, you really had been a great help to me... :)
[10:24] <atom_fox> iflema, thanks for your time..
[10:24] <znh> MASARUwota, I'm thinking of remote administrating a Ubuntu Desktop using my laptop as thin client. What do think, is this a good idea?
[10:24] <garymc> anyone know why my account is opening a location launcher in GEDIT instead of firefox?
[10:24] <UbuntuN00B> arand thats fine I just need to know where to find the file/programs to back up before doing so
[10:24] <Slart> nixjr: it depends... 9.10 is newer.. 9.04 had some issues with intel graphics cards amongst other things.. 9.10 has issues with some things as well...
[10:24] <garymc> any other account opens it in firefox
[10:24] <atom_fox> iflema, I hope this could be fix... because it's really annoying especially when I'm in the middle of something important
[10:25] <ulaas> hi, what is the best way to assign eth0 name to any adapter i choose on 9.10
[10:25] <MASARUwota> znh: sure. im not a fan of thin clients. (i would do a minimal install of a distro on that laptop instead). but go ahead =)
[10:25] <Slart> nixjr: but both are less than a year old.. so it's not really a problem
[10:25] <arand> UbuntuN00B: if you look in the file manager you should be able to see the ubuntu drive and browse it
[10:26] <znh> MASARUwota, I'm in doubt because of the network delay and not knowing native clients for the desktop
[10:26] <MASARUwota> garymc: edit the launcher
[10:26] <garymc> MASARUwota the launcher works fine on all other accounts just not mine
[10:26] <MASARUwota> znh: the lag can be pretty horrible sometimes. My dad has a thinclient with XP. when someone is downloading stuff its so sloc..
[10:26] <arand> UbuntuN00B: the home/username folder might be of interest to copy
[10:27] <MASARUwota> garymc: press ALT-F2 and type firefox. does that work?
[10:27] <nixjr> Slart, i only picked 0.04 because i had it on cd and it saved me having to download anything, your saying even with 9.10 it dosnt mean i wont have issues?
[10:27] <Steveturner> MASARUwota, I think you can help me. I'm trying to reinstall my sound drivers, and in the readme, it says to edit my modules.conf in /etc/ or modprobe.conf depending on my distribution
[10:27] <Steveturner> but I don't see either
[10:27] <znh> MASARUwota, the network would be a dedicated gigabit line
[10:27] <Steveturner> I just see a modules
[10:27] <Steveturner> but it's not .conf
[10:27] <FloodBot2> Steveturner: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:28] <MASARUwota> Steveturner: hmm ubuntu doesnt use that afaik
[10:28] <garymc> MASARUwota that just launches firefox. firefox works fine just this launcher is loading gedit
[10:28] <Slart> nixjr: 9.10 is far from perfect.. but the next version 10.04 will be a LTS version.. that means it will have longer support and is supposed to be more stable
[10:28] <Steveturner> Idk what afaik is, what should I do right now?
[10:28] <MASARUwota> garymc: then change the command that the launcher uses
[10:28] <Slart> nixjr: you can just wait until april and upgrade then
[10:28] <arand> UbuntuN00B: http://kevin.vanzonneveld.net/techblog/article/restore_packages_using_dselectupgrade/ has a nice guide on how to backup a list of all installed applications to reinstall again
[10:28] <MASARUwota> Steveturner: as far as i know. does sound work with other distributions of linux?
[10:28] <Steveturner> I see other files that are .conf though
[10:29] <nixjr> Slart, can i do that without reformatting my system?
[10:29] <Steveturner> uhh, I haven't tried to use any other distributions of Linux
[10:29] <MASARUwota> Steveturner: why not?? :S
[10:29] <Slart> nixjr: you can usually just upgrade "in place".. without loosing any files
[10:29] <garymc> MASARUwota yeah i do but it keeps showing on my account as application not location. I load up other account and it shows location. (This is an LTSP server with various accounts)
[10:29] <Steveturner> are you talking about like... switching from Ubuntu to something else?
[10:29] <atom_fox> iflema, it happend agagin
[10:29] <MASARUwota> garymc: that doesnt make any sense
[10:29] <garymc> just mine doesnt work
[10:29] <atom_fox> iflema, i just came from another freeze, i had to reboot again
[10:30] <MASARUwota> Steveturner: trying out another distro, yes
[10:30] <iflema> Quan-Time install dvb-apps and use scan.. initial tuning data for your location is located @ /usr/share/dvb/
[10:30] <MASARUwota> Steveturner: linux mint is ubuntu based
[10:30] <atom_fox> iflema, I try to run Ktorrent... after a minute the system goes freeze again
[10:30] <garymc> MASARUwota I know. But i had this problem a while back and since then ive done a fresh install and my account is doing the same thing. But last time someone here solved it for me
[10:30] <atom_fox> iflema, what do you think?
[10:30] <iflema> atom_fox yeah man tonight for sure test that ram..
[10:30] <MASARUwota> atom_fox: qt takes up too much memory or processing power
[10:30] <Steveturner> so you think I should switch to Linux mint? how about redhat? what are the differences? Kubuntu?
[10:30] <iflema> Quan-Time scan with a program called scan
[10:31] <MASARUwota> Steveturner, ill private message you
[10:31] <Steveturner> ok
[10:31] <atom_fox> MASARUwota, so it means it is the cause of the freeze?
[10:31] <atom_fox> MASARUwota, what do you suggest? use other torrent apps?
[10:32] <garymc> MASARUwota : Just to let you know these launchers I created and put in a share folder so they appear on all users desktops. Its just my desktop (where I created them in my account) that they dont work on
[10:32] <mobi-sheep> !mintsupport | Steveturner FYI
[10:32] <atom_fox> MASARUwota, ??
[10:32] <iflema> Quan-Time_ install dvb-apps and use scan.. initial tuning data for your location is located @ /usr/share/dvb/
[10:33] <nixjr> in terms of keyboard shortcuts, what is <super> ?
[10:33] <MASARUwota> nixjr: windows key
[10:33] <MASARUwota> atom_fox: yeah, deluge or transmission if you need n interface
[10:34] <chipzy> dw
[10:34] <nixjr> MASARUwota, ah thanks
[10:34] <iflema> Quan-Time or cheat and install kaffeine
[10:34] <atom_fox> MASARUwota, now I get it... I did not notice and think that it could be the cause... is that really possible?
[10:35] <MASARUwota> atom_fox: QT is pretty heavy
[10:35] <papul> hi guys
[10:35] <MASARUwota> !hi|papul
[10:35] <Quan-Time_> iflema: cheers.. ill try it
[10:36] <iflema> Quan-Time_ or cheat and install kaffeine
[10:36] <garymc> MASARUwota : I also noticed it is when i make the location http://localhost/admin it doesnt work on my account but if i make the location eg http://www.google.com it works fine???????/
[10:36] <MASARUwota> garymc: use "firefox <url>" instead
[10:36] <garymc> what would it be?
[10:37] <Quan-Time_> iflema: lots of errors.. time to hit google up
[10:38] <papul> MASARUwota: instead of telling the bot u could say hi directly. i am not new here
[10:38] <garymc> MASARUwota : How would i put the firefox url in for localhost?
[10:38] <UbuntuN00B> arand I found the list of programs and saved them to a .txt file Im not sure how I will use that to reinstall when the time comes
[10:38] <atom_fox> iflema, MASARUwota suggested that it's the Ktorrent causing the freeze.. he said it took a lot of memory
[10:39] <MASARUwota> atom_fox QT can take a lot of memory
[10:39] <atom_fox> maybe I'll try to use other apps, but still observe what happens to the system :)
[10:39] <atom_fox> MASARUwota, thank you so much..
[10:39] <MASARUwota> papul :|
[10:39] <papul> qt??? quick time??
[10:40] <mib> hi @all,  i wanted to make a php update from version 5.1.2 to v5.3.1 on my vserver; therefore i downloaded the source files and compiled i on my own then "make install" and all seems fine //  i´ve done this cause when i use "apt-get" it seems that the latest version i get  is 5.1.2
[10:40] <MASARUwota> papul: having said that DOES make you seem new. QT as in Q toolkit, the toolkit that KDE uses, for example.
[10:40] <papul> yeah i know
[10:40] <papul> was just testing ;)
[10:40] <papul> u
[10:40] <MASARUwota> garymc "firefox http://localhost/<w/e>"
[10:40] <MASARUwota> papul :|
[10:41] <atom_fox> iflema, still there?
[10:41] <mib> when i ask phpinfo, it tells me that my actuall running version is still 5.1.2, cause i didn´t tell hi what version he should use for php5
[10:41] <papul> ^_^
[10:41] <mib> php -v  --> V5.3.1
[10:41] <mib> php5 -v --> 5.1.2
[10:41] <arand> UbuntuN00B: instructions are in the blog
[10:41] <kuchi> std: php
[10:42] <mib> can anybody tell me how i cann use my new version for php5
[10:42] <kuchi> pgp5 is one of the isntalled versions
[10:42] <MASARUwota> mib apt-get upgrade? lol
[10:42] <kuchi> *php5
[10:42] <mib> done this, but then he installt the older version 5.1.2
[10:43] <papul> is there any channel here for tor?
[10:43] <mib> thats why i´ve tried it "manually"
[10:43] <garymc> MASARUwota : that didnt seem to work. I will take out the <w/e> bit and see if that works
[10:43] <MASARUwota> papul: what do you need tor for? CP?
[10:43] <DJones> 7906
[10:43] <DJones> sorry, wring window
[10:43] <MASARUwota> garymc: i mean that you should replace <w/e> with whatever you want to put there
[10:44] <garymc> like admin?
[10:44] <MASARUwota> garymc: i guess
[10:44] <papul> MASARUwota: i am actively using tor. i just want to know if any channel is available
[10:44] <papul> garymc: what exactly do u want to do?
[10:44] <MASARUwota> papul: #tor is alive, let me check its official channel
[10:45] <MASARUwota> papul: try #tor on irc.oftc.net
[10:45] <garymc> MASARUwota thats seems to do the trick thanks alot
[10:45] <papul> MASARUwota: yes got it
[10:45] <MASARUwota> garymc np =)
[10:45] <garymc> i just need to check other accounts now
[10:45] <garymc> thanks
[10:47] <MASARUwota> papul, tor is banned on quite some irc networks, i see

[10:48] <Guest21124> hello, has any one tryed thunderbird 3.0 on 9.04  I am getting a problem that my msgs don't get sent and I get a timeout error for smtp.gmail.com
[10:48] <MASARUwota> Guest21124 > did you follow the googles guide?
[10:49] <MASARUwota> *google's guide
[10:49] <Guest21124> MASARUwota: yes, all instructions but there are no particular instructions for thunderbird3
[10:50] <MASARUwota> Guest21124 > choosing "google imap" as a type during new account creation doesnt work?
[10:53] <arand> papul: you can use tor on freenode, but you have to jump a few hoops and wait a fair while for validation first: http://freenode.net/irc_servers.shtml#tor
[10:56] <papul> arand: yeah i did that. but haven't got reply from freenode
[10:57] <MASARUwota> papul: your username and pass hashed together?

[11:06] <luke> Nahian: You might have better luck asking that on the forum
[11:06] <UbuntuN00B> arand k its reinstalling now hopefully it follows through without a hiccup lol
[11:07] <theadmin> I've got a weird question. GNOME restarts now and then, and I can't figure what is the cause. even if I repeat all the same things, it all usually goes fine. It doesn't happen often, but is quite annoying.
[11:07] <theadmin> So... what can be the cause?
[11:07] <songer> hello,
[11:08] <songer> how can i make zoomon moovida?
[11:08] <luke> theadmin: It could be any number of things, hardware and software
[11:08] <AdvoWork> DasEi, I cant, it wont let me make a new partition table on the usb, its greyed out
[11:09] <theadmin> luke: Well, it kinda brings me back to GDM. I'm not sure it's called "restarting"
[11:09] <luke> theadmin: You should try putting it on the forum, including everything you know... I can't really help you, but one of the guys on there should be able too
[11:10] <znh> can I install Ubuntu 9.10 on latest XenServer?
[11:10] <luke> Sounds like software to me, if you can't find a solution, reinstalling the OS should work
[11:10] <theadmin> luke: Okay, will do someday, right now I'm kinda too busy to.
[11:10] <znx^> can some1 help me with a bit of a problem?
[11:10] <znx^> My firestarter keeps detecting something on port 80 and i keep getting thrown offline.. :S have no idea what to do..
[11:10] <theadmin> luke: Reinstalling is not a kinda thing I'd like to do... well, I'll be going with a clean Lucid install once it's ready anyway
[11:11] <sohryu> theadmin: try to replace the version of gdm using synaptic
[11:11] <znh> znx^, likely suffering from a attack. sit it out or contact your ISP
[11:11] <Aiya> how do i excute a file in terminal ?
[11:11] <luke> what file do you want to execute?
[11:11] <theadmin> Aiya: Execute as a program, then ./filename (note that you have to chmod +x filename first)
[11:12] <Aiya> execute “tar xvzf hsdpa-linux-driver.tar.gz”
[11:12] <theadmin> Aiya: Just type that stuff there :/
[11:12] <Aiya> ok
[11:12] <luke> Aiya: Might need to put sudo before it
[11:12] <coz_> Aiya,  you may want to extract that file first  to see if there is a  README  file inside
[11:13] <Aiya> its dont have readme in there~
[11:13] <coz_> Aiya,  do you have a link for that package?
[11:13] <Aiya> yeah~

[11:16] <Aiya> I want to execute the secondary package~
[11:16] <Aiya> coz_ : I want to execute the secondary package~
[11:16] <coz_> Aiya,   ok the PDF included in there has an Install  section

[11:22] <coz_> Aiya,   you need to pastebin.com  all of that  so that it doesnt tie up the channel :)
[11:22] <AdvoWork> DasEi, not mounted, just checked :S

[11:23] <Aiya> how do i check it?
[11:23] <coz_> Aiya,  I noticed the name given to the secondary pacakge in the PDF file is not the  same as the one you actually have so
[11:24] <Aiya> so how?
[11:24] <Aiya> I confuse~
[11:24] <DasEi> AdvoWork: strange thing you got there, if you rightclick the partiton ('unallocated') in gparted, get any choices ?
[11:24] <coz_> Aiya,  the part that asks you to   tar xvzg hsdpa   after you have type that much hit the tab key on the keyboard to complete the correct name
[11:26] <coz_> Aiya,  out of curiosity this appears to be a modem driver....are you having issues?
[11:27] <Aiya> yes
[11:27] <Aiya> :(
[11:27] <coz_> ok
[11:27] <coz_> Aiya,  how far did you get with the installation and are you sure this is the correct driver?

[11:30] <Guest59543> is anybody here who could help me my webcam on skype workin. Video on it is goin green and i am going crazy. I have Ubuntu 9.10. I was googling around but most of the stuff what i read don't understand becouse of my begginer skills. On other application the webcam is workin, so i know there has to be the way to make skype  workin with webcam too. Soo please is there somebody?
[11:31] <disappearedng> Hey is there a method that will try remove non-alphanumeric characters from a word like "ha.haha" -> "hahaha"
[11:33] <Steveturner> every time I try to use my webcam it says that I don't have libmimic installed, but synaptic package manager says otherwise, what should I do? I'm currently using the latest version of Ubuntu, Karmic on a laptop (not with a webcam attached though, I want to see other people's webcam)
[11:33] <bill_> Guest59543, which version of Skype are you using?
[11:33] <isolat3dsh33p> disappearedng, regular expression.
[11:33] <MASARUwota> disappearedng: learn VI(m) or emacs
[11:33] <JediMaster> Is there a way to remove ubuntu-desktop? I've apt-get removed it but I can't autoremove the dependancies any ideas?
[11:33] <JediMaster> (got a very low spec machine that is basically now just a server and it's getting clogged up with gnome)
[11:33] <bazhang> JediMaster, you want purekde or something else
[11:33] <JediMaster> bazhang, just command line
[11:34] <MASARUwota> JediMaster > apt-get autoremove ?
[11:34] <UbuntuN00B> besides tons of free applications and near virus proof whats the major benifit for haveing Ubuntu OS over any other and besides it being free as well.
[11:34] <disappearedng> oh sorry wrong channel
[11:34] <MASARUwota> JediMaster: i suggest reinstalling a minimal system
[11:34] <Myrtti> UbuntuN00B: possibility to adjust it to your needs ad nauseatum
[11:34] <bill_> SteveTurner, which webcam do you have?
[11:34] <JediMaster> MASARUwota, already tried that, it seems to have selected them
[11:34] <Steveturner> I don't have a webcam
[11:35] <Steveturner> I want to see other ppl's webcam
[11:35] <DasEi> JediMaster: sudo apt-get remove --purge ubuntu-desktop, then sudo init 1, from there : sudo apt-get auoremove , sudo apt-get clean
[11:35] <Steveturner> but it says I need libmimic, and I got that
[11:35] <JediMaster> MASARUwota, not really an option as it's in a remote office
[11:35] <DasEi> auto*..
[11:35] <UbuntuN00B> Myrtti yeah
[11:35] <bazhang> JediMaster, all the gnome packages are here --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE
[11:35] <JediMaster> bazhang, ta
[11:35] <bill_> Steveturner ...got it....which program are you using to view other's webcams?
[11:35] <Steveturner> emeseme
[11:36] <Steveturner> emesene
[11:36] <Steveturner> my bad
[11:36] <bill_> AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!
[11:36] <Steveturner> ?
[11:36] <Steveturner> that's why?
[11:36] <starykomputer> hi
[11:36] <starykomputer> anyone knows how to make HP remote control work with linux?
[11:36] <UbuntuN00B> question I'm reinstalling all my packages right now would that make my pc brick again if i had a problem with it being bricked in the firstplace?
[11:36] <DasEi> JediMaster: and also remove gdm ( and others, if existing)
[11:36] <bill_> Steveturn>>Dude...I've had so much trouble with that....have you tried Skype?
[11:36] <Steveturner> mmm, I guess I could try
[11:37] <Steveturner> so... I'm not the only one, ok
[11:37] <MASARUwota> ekiga > skype
[11:37] <bill_> It works,,,,,,out the box!
[11:37] <JediMaster> DasEi, I've already apt-get removed ubuntu-desktop and autoremove doesn't get rid of gnome
[11:37] <UbuntuN00B> scratch that I need to ask that better lol
[11:37] <DasEi> UbuntuN00B: hard to say , as reinstalling won't touch your older config
[11:37] <Steveturner> bill_, don't you agree that emesene is the best windows msn look-alike? I don't really like aMSN or Pidgin and all that other stuff much
[11:37] <DasEi> JediMaster: same with gdm
[11:37] <AdvoWork> DasEi, the unallocated bit only shows as 4mb, underneath that shows sdb1 with 3.96gb
[11:38] <bill_> SteveturnerI recommend using Skype 2.0...the new Skype has a few issues
[11:38] <JediMaster> DasEi, will try that, ta
[11:38] <Steveturner> ok.
[11:38] <DasEi> AdvoWork: sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[11:38] <UbuntuN00B> DasEi I guess once its finishes with its batch install thing from the terminal then I will know lol just hope its not the hard way.
[11:38] <bill_> Steveturner....yeh it's ok.,...but I have never been able to get the webcam working on it though
[11:38] <iflema> starykomputer is it a media centre remote?
[11:39] <DasEi> AdvoWork: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit           ,give url here
[11:39] <Umeaboy> Does anyone here use both Winblows & Ubuntu on same HDD?
[11:39] <bill_> Steveturner.....if you can't find the package for Skype2.0 email me<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and I can mail you the package
[11:40] <DasEi> UbuntuN00B: prbly it won't hang, but you mussn't forget many apps want to be configured, which can be a bad choice in autoinstallation
[11:40] <DasEi> Umeaboy: I did
[11:40] <bill_> Steveturner....also if you install PlayOnLinux (the wine GUI) there is an option to install the windows version of messenger.....you could also try that.
[11:41] <DasEi> !details | Umeaboy
[11:41] <UbuntuN00B> DasEi so what your saying is after installing they might all spam me at once asking me to configure them ll?
[11:41] <bill_> Umeaboy are you talking about having a dual boot situation?
[11:42] <Umeaboy> DasEi & bill_: It's correct. I have huge problem getting grub to know the right boot-settings.
[11:42] <DasEi> UbuntuN00B: spam you ? you're dreaming xd;; now, depending on your software you will have to mention what was there to be done before, if you just had apps like mm-player and office stuff, less a problem
[11:43] <bill_> Umeaboy....so you've already installed both windows and ubuntu?
[11:43] <DasEi> Umeaboy: best way is first install win, then ubuntu
[11:44] <DasEi> Umeaboy: present situation ?
[11:45] <Umeaboy> bill_: I've got Winblows 7, Mandriva 2010.0 & Ubuntu 9.10 installed.
[11:45] <bill_> Umeaboy..DasEi is right...if you install ubuntu first some windows versions may just overwrite the linux partition on your HDD, or it will screw up Grub.
[11:45] <Umeaboy> DasEi: I did that.
[11:45] <bill_> What happens when you boot up?
[11:45] <Umeaboy> First Winblows 7, then Mandriva 2010.0 & then Ubuntu 9.10.
[11:46] <Umeaboy> bill_: I come to GRUB2 bootlist & when I choose to boot Mandriva & see a message saying "error no partition found".
[11:47] <myself> hello!
[11:47] <DasEi> Umeaboy: win and ubuntu boot ?
[11:47] <Umeaboy> Win-boot loads, but then the computer restarts to GRUB again.
[11:48] <Umeaboy> Ubuntu loads fine.
[11:48] <DasEi> Umeaboy: ic.. well
[11:48] <nonexks> do you guys think ubuntu would make a good media center OS ?
[11:48] <DasEi> Umeaboy: for a triple boot the mbr is too small, dualboot win/buntu would fit, way to go is little more complicated
[11:49] <MASARUwota> Umeaboy: run update-grub
[11:49] <mobi-sheep> nonexks: XBMC
[11:49] <Umeaboy> MASARUwota: Already done so.
[11:49] <theadmin> nonexks: It should be a good enough one, unless "media" by your definition includes games.
[11:49] <bill_> Umeaboy...Really? It sounds like a microsoft issue then. I heard that Microsoft have altered W7 to make dualbooting woith other Os's very difficult.
[11:49] <DasEi> Umeaboy: if you used karmic, you now got a mix there, win, grub1, grub2
[11:49] <Umeaboy> MASARUwota: This is the result: http://paste.ubuntu.com/357015/
[11:50] <Dravekx> how do I create a user account???
[11:50] <DasEi> Dravekx: adduser
[11:50] <theadmin> Dravekx: Go to System - Admininstration - Users And Groups
[11:50] <mobi-sheep> go-go-gadget --add-user "newuser"
[11:50] <Dravekx> ubuntu server
[11:50] <bill_> Umeaboy I'm not sure about what Dasei said, I've had triple and quadruple boots before with no problem.
[11:50] <gey> Good day!
[11:50] <theadmin> mobi-sheep: Lol.
[11:50] <mobi-sheep> It is an army swiss knife for everything.  Every OS have one.
[11:51] <Umeaboy> This is the GRUB's conf-file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/357016/
[11:51] <nonexks> would love to play games on ubuntu but it is sutch a pain in the balls ... was thinking movies tv etc ..
[11:51] <DasEi> bill: I had 6 oses on a hd once, but then installed the grubs to /boot and chainloaded them to keep mbr uncomplicated
[11:51] <bill_> Umeaboy...does windows get to the desktop or login screen?
[11:52] <Umeaboy> It should'nt say hd0,4 on the Mandriva-alternatives right?
[11:52] <Umeaboy> bill_: Nope.
[11:52] <bill_> Dasei...I see
[11:52] <starykomputer> iflema: jest it's media center
[11:52] <Umeaboy> nonexks: What's wrong?
[11:52] <mobi-sheep> nonexks: I have a machine dedicated for HTPC (Home Theater PC) running XBMC. 1080p works beautiful. I'm playing Pingus -- It's a good linux game.
[11:52] <bill_> Umeaboy...my MS systems engineer friend told me it could be a buffer overflow virus that windows has.
[11:52] <Umeaboy> There are many games in Linux.
[11:53] <nonexks> oh i usualy play games like eve online and wow
[11:53] <iflema> starykomputer you need to install lirc if have'nt already
[11:53] <theadmin> Umeaboy: Well, let's be honest, compared to how many does that M$ crap have...
[11:53] <Umeaboy> bill_ Okey. Can I undo this installation of Ubuntu somehow without having to format the entire drive?
[11:53] <MASARUwota> nonexks: windows games
[11:53] <nonexks> but i have a computer for games i just dule boot ubuntu and windows depending on what i plan on doing
[11:53] <nonexks> ya wish they would release linux versions
[11:53] <MASARUwota> nonexks:  thats what i do aswell
[11:53] <Umeaboy> theadmin: Many many mnay more games in Linux.
[11:54] <Dravekx> ok, I created a new user..how do I setup permissions so he can see a certain directory?
[11:54] <MASARUwota> nonexks: commercial games arent open-source, so they should just stay with windows, imo
[11:54] <nonexks> think XBMC would do it for my computer i use for movies and tv stuff
[11:54] <Umeaboy> If you're not happy with the game-situation, then fiel a report or make a game that fits your needs & stop whining!
[11:54] <theadmin> Dravekx: Assign this directory to his group and set it to something like rwxrw----
[11:54] <mobi-sheep> nonexks: I think VLC is more than enough for computers.
[11:55] <Dravekx> theadmin, can I PM? I need some help
[11:55] <nonexks> dont know about VLC ... brb while i go look it up
[11:55] <MASARUwota> Umeaboy: no ones whining
[11:55] <theadmin> Dravekx: Okay
[11:55] <nonexks> oh ya VLC i use that
[11:55] <MASARUwota> nonexks: (s)mplayer is the best linux mediaplayer
[11:55] <theadmin> Umeaboy: Who needs games anyway, lolz... not me.
[11:55] <DasEi> Umeaboy: first, easier try, next to MASARUwota's tip , sudo update-grub from ubuntu, is 1) backup current mbr 2)re-install win-loader 3) get a supergrubdisk (google) 4) write down the /boot partis of the two remaining /boot 5) re-install grub with that cd
[11:55] <nonexks> i like it ... very good program
[11:55] <andrew_46> nonexks: An alternative is mplayer-nogui and smplayer
[11:55] <MASARUwota> http://en.opensuse.org/SuSE_FTP_Net_Install_with_screenshots
[11:55] <theadmin> andrew_46: Well, with VLC you don't worry about codecs ;)
[11:56] <Umeaboy> DasEi: Woooooah!!!! One thing at a time, please.
[11:56] <andrew_46> theadmin: vlc will use the external codecs if it is compiled with --enable-loader
[11:57] <nonexks> XBMC looks really cool ... i wonder if it has touch screen capabilitys
[11:57] <DasEi> Umeaboy: if that won't work,  got to install mandrivas grub to it's boot, chainload it from grub 2
[11:58] <bill_> Umeaboy..The only way I know how to do that is a bit of a bodged way! Fiirst copy /boot/grub/grub.cfg from ubuntu. Then reinstalll Mandriva again, got to the expert options when it asks you about partitioning.From the Mandriva installer partitioner delete the ubuntu partitions and make sure the root/home directories are not selected to be formatted, go from there.
[11:58] <Umeaboy> DasEi: How do I chainload it from GRUB2?
[11:58] <Umeaboy> Edit the boot.cfg?
[11:58] <AdvoWork> DasEi, http://pastebin.com/d6fbb8c55
[11:58] <mobi-sheep> nonexks: If you are able to use mouse with touch screen, then yeah, you could use XBMC for touch-screen to some point. I use Xbox DVD IR remote control.
[11:58] <DasEi> Umeaboy: by telling grub2  to call another bootloader, chainloader+1
[11:59] <Umeaboy> Oooooooooh. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more difficult.
[11:59] <Umeaboy> I have a brain of an amoeba.
[12:00] <nonexks> i have always wanted to set up a cool media box ... i am thinking my computer , 72" tv , 15" lcd touch screen (as the remote) , yahama 7.1 reciver for sound
[12:00] <bill_> Umeaboy or just do what I said ....reinstall mandriva....from the partioner delete the ubuntu partitions, then make sure the mandriva / and home directories are not selected to be formatted, click go.
[12:00] <DasEi> AdvoWork: so it's actually 4 gb, gparted won't let you set an empty party table on it ? is there a write-protection switch ??
[12:01] <nonexks> i was thinking if i run the 15" as same screen as the  72" but have touch controls on the 15" i could do just about anything ... but i may need some kind of package that allows it to access controles like a i phone does or something like that
[12:01] <DasEi> AdvoWork: try sth else : sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb
[12:02] <silv3r_m00n> hi
[12:02] <silv3r_m00n> can I do iphone development on ubuntu ?
[12:02] <bill_> Umeaboy that way won't delete Mandriva or windows, and the installer will do all that grub confifuration stuff for you.
[12:02] <MASARUwota> silv3r_m00n: if apple released a linux SDK, which is probably didnt
[12:02] <kieran> morning all
[12:02] <MASARUwota> *they
[12:02] <MASARUwota> hi kieran
[12:02] <DasEi> Umeaboy: open a trml..
[12:03] <kieran> any1 here using talktalk (isp)?
[12:03] <DasEi> silv3r_m00n: yes, see :
[12:03] <DasEi> !iphone
[12:04] <DasEi> Umeaboy: open ?
[12:04] <MASARUwota> "Using iTunes via Sun Virtualbox running Windows"
[12:04] <MASARUwota> youre kiddin me
[12:04] <bill_> Umeaboy> email me if you like<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[12:05] <sixtila> is 741 permission setting for folders safe?
[12:05] <silv3r_m00n> DasEi: that didn't help
[12:05] <DasEi> silv3r_m00n: I doubt you read the links
[12:06] <DasEi> !RockBox
[12:06] <oCean_> sixtila: that depends on what your needs are in/with that folder
[12:06] <Umeaboy> bill_: PM?
[12:06] <silv3r_m00n> DasEi: none of them talk about iphone development
[12:08] <Mrokii> hello. Does anybody where Ubuntu stores keymaps for TTYs?
[12:08] <DasEi> !info iphone-convienence
[12:09] <DasEi> !info ipod-convenience | silvr3
[12:09] <bazhang> http://iphonesdkdev.blogspot.com/2008/06/sdks-for-iphone.html silv3r_m00n
[12:10] <DasEi> Mrokii: the actual settings ?
[12:11] <Mrokii> DasEi:  Yep. The problem is that all keys are mixed up (totally wrong settings) whenever I switch to a TTY, so I can't use them.
[12:12] <DasEi> Mrokii: /etc/default/console-setup, to  order : sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup
[12:14] <DasEi> Mrokii: some settings are also made in the profiles of things like bash
[12:15] <Mrokii> DasEi:  Bash (opened within Ubuntu) works fine. It's just the TTYs that have problems with the keymap. Thanks, btw, will try that.
[12:16] <DasEi> Mrokii: might have to update initramfs
[12:16] <Mrokii> DasEi:  What's that?
[12:16] <DasEi> Mrokii: config file loaded at bootup time
[12:17] <DasEi> located in  /boot, just cd there , call by sudo with no args, it's self explaining
[12:17] <DasEi> sudo update-initramfs
[12:17] <Mrokii> DasEi:  Okay, will check that, too. Had a lok at the console-setup-file, and the keyboard-settings seem to be right (the same as in the graphical preference-setter from Ubuntu).
[12:19] <DasEi> Mrokii: another slim chance, you are missing some translation packages, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get install -f
[12:19] <kandinski> how do I find which package provides a given virtual package? in this ccase I need to find out which real package provides the virtual package opencv
[12:20] <DasEi> kandinski: sudo apt-get depends
[12:20] <gleizer> Bom dia!
[12:20] <Mrokii> DasEi:  Nothing new to install, after updating.
[12:20] <gleizer> Good morning
[12:20] <Mavrik> hm, is there any way of preventing the "General error mounting filesystems" if any drive in fstab is unavalibale?
[12:20] <Mavrik> it seems Karmic stops boot in that case and it's annoying
[12:20] <DasEi> Mrokii: is there sth in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
[12:21] <kandinski> DasEi: ta
[12:21] <znh> Ubuntu's Remote Access.. what protocol is used? VNC
[12:21] <gleizer> Anybody knows how change the number of entries in "Locals->Recent documents"?
[12:22] <DasEi> kandinski: typo; apt-cache depends <paketname>
[12:22] <Mrokii> DasEi:  I do not find that string in xorg.conf
[12:22] <DasEi> Mrokii: sth = something
[12:22] <adudutz> Is it possible to create a Live CD installer through a Ubuntu (as Guest) in Virtualbox?
[12:22] <kandinski> DasEi: "ta" means thanks, so ta again!
[12:22] <DasEi> hehe, nice
[12:23] <DasEi> ca, kandinski
[12:23] <Mrokii> DasEi:  Ah, okay, heh. Yep, there is a keyboard-entry, if you mean that: InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
[12:23] <gleizer> Anybody knows how change the number of entries in "Locals->Recent documents"?
[12:24] <Mrokii> DasEi:  And then there is a section "Input Device" with these two entries:
[12:24] <Mrokii> Identifier     "Keyboard0"
[12:24] <Mrokii> Driver         "keyboard"
[12:24] <arand> Mavrik: that seem to warrant a bug report
[12:24] <DasEi> Mrokii: could be also tricking then, back it up in case things mess up, from tty issue a : sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg   , lets you also set kb-layout, but back that file up, case x starves
[12:24] <cebep> #ubuntu-ru
[12:25] <leleobhz> Ubuntu kernel dont support reiser4 fs?
[12:25] <DasEi> leleobhz: it does, but isn't recommended,
[12:25] <DasEi> !riser
[12:26] <DasEi> !reiser
[12:26] <gleizer> Anybody knows how change the number of entries in "Locals->Recent documents"?
[12:26] <leleobhz> isnt my point if its recommended or not because rfs4 is the only fs that have what i need
[12:26] <cebep> ubuntu-ru\
[12:26] <cebep> ????\
[12:27] <Mavrik> arand, oh I see. I'll post a bug then.
[12:27] <leleobhz> DasEi: i need to mount a reiser4 volume, but i see kernel dont have support for it
[12:27] <Mrokii> DasEi:  "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" didn't do anything.
[12:27] <MASARUwota> cebep: /join #ubuntu-ru
[12:27] <leleobhz> anyway, i know why im using reiser4 :]
[12:27] <Zaddy> hello
[12:27] <MASARUwota> leleobhz > :O why?
[12:27] <MASARUwota> hi Zaddy
[12:27] <DasEi> Mrokii: have to do it from outside X
[12:27] <leleobhz> MASARUwota: online fs compress
[12:27] <Zaddy> somebody knows how can I back up a mysql database when it's installed in a non-working linux ?
[12:27] <leleobhz> *gzip compress
[12:28] <DasEi> Zaddy: live cd
[12:28] <Zaddy> I somehow managed to break my boot... so I'm in a live ubuntu 9.10
[12:28] <MASARUwota> leleobhz thats pretty nice i guess
[12:28] <Zaddy> just copying the mysql data files will do it ?
[12:28] <leleobhz> MASARUwota: i need more or less +200mb on my volume to fit a portable linux and ill use reiser in detriment of ext3
[12:28] <leleobhz> (ive thinked in squash, but it dont mount in r/w mode, i guess)
[12:29] <Turbolinux> Hello everyone. I want to use Ubuntu Netbook Remix desktop envoirement but I have a question. If I install Netbook Remix desktop envoirement can I select standard desktop from Netbook Remix desktop selection menu? Thank you.
[12:30] <theadmin> Turbolinux: You will be able to install it.
[12:30] <MASARUwota> Turbolinux: waht do you mean by "standard desktop"?
[12:30] <leleobhz> if someone know a way to mount in r/w mode a another compressed fs with ubuntu support... :]
[12:30] <Dr_Willis> Turbolinux:   You can install the ubuntu-desktop pacakge if you want.
[12:30] <Dr_Willis> Turbolinux:  but its a bit of an annoyance changeing from one to the other.. its doable however.  Just not as easy as it should be
[12:30] <bbb8> today i had a huge headache switching from kubuntu-netbook to kubuntu-desktop
[12:31] <Mrokii> DasEi:  uhm, wouldn't I need a working TTY for that?
[12:31] <Dr_Willis> bbb8:  yea. they really need to work on the select netbook  or desktkop interfaces..
[12:31] <bbb8> had to delete the .kde stuff
[12:31] <bbb8> they do
[12:31] <DasEi> Mrokii: y, is it so borked you can't find anything  ?
[12:31] <bbb8> and then i had to add a symbolic link in autostart of .kde
[12:32] <Mrokii> DasEi:  totally
[12:32] <bbb8> to plasma-desktop
[12:32] <DasEi> Zaddy: chroot in /  , do : http://php.about.com/od/learnmysql/ss/mysql_backup.htm
[12:32] <ma3x> i installed ubuntu and edubuntu as extra. can i make the distro edubuntu or at least how can ichange the splash screen to edubuntu
[12:32] <Turbolinux> The normal Ubuntu desktop MASARUwota. So selecting can be a bit difficult, is it right?
[12:33] <DasEi> Mrokii: is this any special console you are using ?
[12:33] <MASARUwota> i dont know what ubuntu netbook remix uses as a login manager so idk
[12:33] <meatbun> where is the port scanner app in ubuntu?
[12:33] <gleizer> Anybody knows how change the number of entries in "Locals->Recent documents"?
[12:33] <gleizer> Help me please
[12:34] <Zaddy> DasEi, oh, I see
[12:34] <Zaddy> that makes sense
[12:34] <Zaddy> let me try that
[12:34] <Slart> meatbun: "the port scanner app"? afaik there is more than one
[12:34] <Mrokii> DasEi:  Special in which way? I am still kind of a newbie on Linux/Ubuntu and am using a standard Ubuntu-system.
[12:34] <petsounds> bbb8, you want to use default kubuntu desktop?
[12:34] <meatbun> Slart: arg...
[12:35] <Paulo39> hi guys! i'm having a problem with gnome-do. Sometimes, when i start it, i get a crash, other times, it doesn't happen :s when i try to start gnome-do in a terminal i get these errors: http://pastebin.com/m43f414d1
[12:35] <bbb8> yea i did, petsounds but i already fixed it, .... what's your solution petsounds ?
[12:35] <iflema> ma3x sudo apt-get install edubuntu-desktop
[12:35] <Paulo39>  can you explain me what is wrong and how can i fix it? Because i even can't change gnome-do settings, because i can't start it
[12:36] <ma3x> iflema: i installed it but the ubuntu xsplash is still there. i want edubuntu splash
[12:36] <petsounds> bbb8, just remove plasma-netbook, kubuntu-netbook, kubuntu-netbook-default-settings and reboot ;)
[12:36] <ma3x> how can i do that
[12:36] <Dr_Willis> ma3x:  theres a tool called 'epidermis' (not in the repos) that can install/set other themes fro that stuff..
[12:36] <DasEi> meatbun: nmap , knocker,pnscan.. and more
[12:36] <bbb8> yea petsounds just figured a bit late about the plasma-netbook thing.... i removed kubuntu-netbook, it didn't go with it obviously
[12:36] <Dr_Willis> ma3x:  there may be some other ways as well to change it.. but i dont worry too muich about the silly splash stuff
[12:36] <meatbun> DasEi: thx i will try one of them
[12:37] <Zaddy> chroot'ing didn't seem to help, it says "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)"
[12:37] <DasEi> Mrokii: for just a regular kb, try to comment out the section in xorg.conf (assuming you use karmic)
[12:37] <Zaddy> and mysqld throws several errors
[12:37] <Guest59543> bill_: I think it is debian, i hope you are still here....
[12:37] <Turbolinux> Dr_Wills you said it can be a bit difficult. So selecting can make problem, am I right?
[12:38] <icarus-c> anyone owns a fujitsu L1010Q notebook?
[12:38] <DasEi> Mrokii: karmic ?
[12:38] <Mrokii> DasEi:  yep
[12:38] <DasEi> Mrokii: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[12:38] <iflema> ma3x try maybe install edubuntu-artwork
[12:38] <Dr_Willis> Turbolinux:  theres just some annoyanced you have to watch out for.   settings in teh UNR vs the normal desktop can cause  things to not work as well as they should
[12:39] <Guest59543> bill_: are you here, i didn't noticed your message...
[12:39] <DasEi> Mrokii: put a '#' (wo quotes) in front of kb-lines, save xorg, restart gdm
[12:39] <DasEi> w/o
[12:40] <nastas> hi all
[12:40] <Turbolinux> I understand. Thank you for your Dr_Wills.
[12:41] <DasEi> Mrokii: when done (!!will log you off desktop!!) sudo gdm restart
[12:41] <Paulo39> hi guys! i'm having a problem with gnome-do. Sometimes, when i start it, i get a crash, other times, it doesn't happen :s when i try to start gnome-do in a terminal i get these errors: http://pastebin.com/m43f414d1
[12:41] <Mrokii> DasEi:  You mean in front of ' InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"   ' and '       Identifier     "Keyboard0"   ' and '       Driver         "keyboard"   ' ?
[12:41] <DasEi> Mrokii: if stuck, either rpeat cmd or reboot, yes, comment out this lines by #
[12:42] <stigchristian> is there a way to get announced in gnome every time a user connects via ssh
[12:42] <Mrokii> DasEi:  Okay, will try. Brb.
[12:42] <DasEi> cu
[12:42] <Dr_Willis> stigchristian:  you could proberluy write a script or  watch the output of the 'who' command.
[12:43] <stigchristian> do you have a little more details?
[12:43] <tgpraveen12> !info openarena
[12:43] <faheem_> hi i'm looking for a list of applications that are lightweight on pc resource usage
[12:43] <faheem_> any idea where i can find i?
[12:43] <Dr_Willis> stigchristian:  'watch who'  in a teminal as a cheap fast way
[12:44] <DasEi> faheem_: second
[12:44] <faheem_> DasEi: Ok... waiting\
[12:44] <DasEi> !lowmem | faheem_
[12:45] <faheem_> thanks very much :)
[12:45] <stigchristian> thanks
[12:45] <Zaddy> well, I have to leave now
[12:45] <faheem_> i'll have a look at those
[12:45] <Zaddy> thanks for your help
[12:45] <Zaddy> laters <3
[12:45] <mavisland> hi everbody :)
[12:45] <DasEi> faheem_: following first link, I got ubuntu on a celeron 433 /128 MB run fair enough to use
[12:46] <faheem_> im using xubuntu right now....
[12:46] <DasEi> (though 256 meg was the hit!) hehe
[12:46] <Abueleitor> someone has used ubuntu for powerpc?
[12:46] <DasEi> faheem_: system specs ?
[12:46] <stigchristian> who
[12:46] <Dr_Willis> Abueleitor:  yes.
[12:46] <DasEi> !info who
[12:47] <DasEi> man who , stigchristian
[12:47] <stigchristian> thanks
[12:47] <faheem_> lol... anicent laptop DasEi were looking at 128mb 40gig harddrive and 1.2 ghz
[12:47] <Abueleitor> and how it works on a g4 powerbook
[12:47] <Abueleitor> i am trying to install it
[12:48] <Abueleitor> but i think wireless do not work fine
[12:48] <DasEi> faheem_: boa, 1.2 ghz, least it'll have more space for ram then, with 256 you'll be fine in xubuntu
[12:48] <faheem_> tried ubuntu....
[12:48] <faheem_> didnt work out to well
[12:48] <faheem_> xbuntu is fine :)
[12:48] <faheem_> im just looking for lightweight apps
[12:49] <Dr_Willis> Abueleitor:  no idea. my imac has no wireless
[12:49] <Dr_Willis> Abueleitor:  check teh ppc ubuntu wiki pages
[12:49] <Guest48638> Hello @all. I'm looking for the possibility to turn of the feature that highlighting automatically copy text to clipboard. Searched by google but nothing found. Thank you
[12:49] <LjL> Guest48638: well, it's enabled by default, only it's a different clipboard from the "paste" one. try using the middle mouse button to paste from it.
[12:50] <DasEi> faheem_: see above lik, you get it superfast if you just do a minimal-install with no soft and then put icewm on it, plus needed software packages, but really on 128 one more ram rocks the world more than a lighter desk
[12:50] <Dr_Willis> Guest48638:  theres the 'clipboard' then theres the old 'x selection' buffer.  gnome and kde often have tool/settings to make the 2 tghe same - or keep the seperate. Lookin to the clipboard manager tools in the repso
[12:50] <reema> hello
[12:50] <faheem_> cant put one more ram... only 1 slot on the laptop
[12:50] <faheem_> like i said DasEi this thing is ancient :)
[12:51] <gleizer> Anybody knows how change the number of entries in "Locals->Recent documents"?
[12:51] <Abueleitor> hummm, ok i will see, but in general do you think  its faster than with mac os or slower because i did not have time to  make benchmarks
[12:51] <iflema> ma3x usplash themes configurable via an app called startupmanager
[12:51] <hateball> LjL, Guest48638, Dr_Willis: Parcellite comes default these days tho, and it has the option to grab highlight as well as ctrl+c
[12:51] <DasEi> faheem_: well, if it runs abov e a gig, sure can do 256 or more
[12:51] <Dr_Willis> Abueleitor:  my PPC imac is so old and slow.. I find OSx faster on it
[12:51] <faheem_> DasEi:  ok.. im using xubuntu, cant i just configure it to stop using xfce and start using icewm
[12:51] <Mrokii> DasEi:  Okay, that broke something, as it seems. I am running in low graphics-mode at the moment.
[12:52] <DasEi> faheem_: yes
[12:52] <Dr_Willis> faheem_:  if you install icewm - the liogin manager should allow you to select a icewm session
[12:52] <tavi> a software similar to dance e jay for linux?
[12:52] <hateball> Guest48638: that would be the little clipboard in your tray... rightclick and go into the settings
[12:52] <Mrokii> DasEi:  I got a grey requester, saying "Problem parsing the config file" and "error parsing the configfile"
[12:52] <Abueleitor> humm, ok thx. i will post my own tests so everyone can compare.
[12:52] <faheem_> Dr_Willis: im still a total noob to thisand have no idea what yo just said lol
[12:52] <Dr_Willis> faheem_:  install icewm package.. look at the login screen menus
[12:53] <faheem_> Dr_Willis: thanks... much better ;)
[12:53] <DasEi> faheem_: uninstallaing xubuntu-desktop will lower backgraund taskas, though
[12:53] <Dr_Willis> faheem_:  yiou proberly wont like icewm
[12:53] <faheem_> why is that Dr_Willis
[12:53] <gleizer> My question is for beginners
[12:53] <Dr_Willis> faheem_:  because its not a 'desktop' its a 'window manager'
[12:53] <gleizer> But I cant find
[12:53] <oCean_> gleizer: http://tips4linux.com/turn-off-or-limit-the-recent-documents-feature-in-ubuntu/
[12:54] <faheem_> Dr_Willis: i have no idea between the difference of a desktop and window manger
[12:54] <DasEi> Mrokii: that's strange on karmic ; can you read enough to edit again ?
[12:54] <Dr_Willis> faheem_:  and i imagine you wont like icewm.. since its just a window manager.
[12:54] <Dr_Willis> faheem_:  install it and see..
[12:54] <Mrokii> DasEi:  yep. Should I put the backup of xorg.conf in the x11-folder?
[12:54] <faheem_> Dr_Willis: once installed i can log out of the session and go into xfce if i dont like it correct?
[12:55] <DasEi> faheem_: anyway, a  1,2 ghz / 256 can run a simple ubuntu,  too, though not 20 tasks and 4 vm's plus flash at at once
[12:55] <atif> i've just installed ubuntu 9.10 but there are no wireless or any other connection visible under network manager
[12:55] <ruk> how can i change my ssh password ?
[12:56] <Umeaboy> ruk: Read the ssh-manual perhaps?
[12:56] <Umeaboy> man ssh
[12:56] <DasEi> Mrokii: aaah, nice , you got a backup, no, complete delete the altered xorg conf, try to start without it again
[12:56] <faheem_> DasEi: seriously speaking your missing the point, laptop is too slow to run even the install process, left it overnight it was still on 22%
[12:56] <oCean_> ruk: the ssh password? Meaning the password for the machine you're ssh-ing into?
[12:57] <DasEi> faheem_: that's another issue then, the specs are alright, if the bios/compatabiltiy or the cd drive/cd is, is sth else
[12:57] <Mrokii> DasEi:  That will probably still put me into low graphics-mode as I have an altered xorg.conf already (nvidia-driver installed).
[12:57] <Dr_Willis> faheem_:  the login manager secren has a sessions menu that should show all window managers and desktops isntalled..
[12:57] <atif> i've just installed ubuntu 9.10 but there are no wireless or any other connection visible under network manager
[12:57] <ruk> oCean_: yup
[12:57] <oCean_> ruk: once logged in, just type "passwd"
[12:57] <atif> how can i connect to my wireless
[12:57] <faheem_> DasEi: nevertheless xubuntu is working fine and i'd rather not mess around ubuntu
[12:57] <DasEi> Mrokii: yep, that'll hang then, so sudo cp it back
[12:58] <oCean_> atif: start here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[12:58] <DasEi> faheem_: with older hardware the alternate installer fixes many problems
[12:58] <Paulo39> hi guys! i'm having a problem with gnome-do. Sometimes, when i start it, i get a crash, other times, it doesn't happen :s when i try to start gnome-do in a terminal i get these errors: http://pastebin.com/m43f414d1
[12:58] <ruk> oCean_: done, thanks
[12:59] <Dr_Willis> faheem_:  if its that old and slow.  You may want to use  just a window manager then - like icewm or flwm
[12:59] <nickkontos> hello, i want to type a character which is the alt+32 in windows. is there any way i can find the same in ubuntu?
[12:59] <faheem_> DasEi: never looked at the alternte downlload will look into it
[12:59] <Dr_Willis> faheem_:  and learn to use the shell for the more complex tasks
[12:59] <gleizer> Thanks
[12:59] <gleizer> I will teste
[12:59] <Mrokii> DasEi:  Okay, I copied the correct xorg.conf back into place.
[13:00] <faheem_> Dr_Willis: well my main issue comes with leaving the pc on idle and when i want to use it i have to reboot therwise it moves way to slow
[13:00] <sabgenton> hi
[13:00] <DasEi> Mrokii: is it an usb keyboard ß
[13:00] <DasEi> ?
[13:00] <Dr_Willis> faheem_:  that made no sence to me at all....
[13:01] <Mrokii> DasEi:  Nope, it's an Apple Extended Keyboard II (adb-port, therefore connected via an adb-adaptor).
[13:02] <DasEi> Mrokii: ahaar, that's why x has to be loaded , that's a kb-issue then
[13:02] <faheem_> Dr_Willis: sorry still a noob ;)... just moved over from windows 2 months back, the shell being the terminal ?
[13:02] <Mrokii> DasEi:  okay.
[13:03] <DasEi> Mrokii: I think I got five 'broken board here, all just missing few functions.. if you type regulary, you go up the wall, just for tty.. look around
[13:04] <faheem_> DasEi: shell is the same as terminal correct?
[13:04] <DasEi> yes, see
[13:04] <DasEi> !terminal
[13:04] <Mrokii> DasEi:  I am not sure I understand what you wanted to say with that last sentences, heh
[13:05] <DasEi> Mrokii: keyboards are cheap or even less, you need a standard one to use tty
[13:05] <Mrokii> DasEi:  I want no cheap one. I want one with mechanical switches, that's the whole purpose I use this old keyboard :)
[13:06] <DasEi> Mrokii: daily use / tty, just a thought, speaking from my budget :-D
[13:06] <shadenzo> parasurama
[13:07] <Mrokii> DasEi:  I have already looked into modern keyboards and there are two that would satisfy my demands :) both around 100 Euros, probably
[13:07] <julios> holaas
[13:07] <julios> un favor como puedo ver archivos compartidos desde la consola con samba
[13:07] <DasEi> Mrokii: that I'd buy a new  board for, nvm
[13:07] <Myrtti> !es | julios
[13:08] <ruk> which channel should i goto  for ssh discussions?
[13:08] <Mrokii> DasEi:  Yes, but I absolutely hate most of the new keyboards with a truely bad feeling when typing.
[13:08] <Myrtti> ruk: what kind of question do you have about ssh?
[13:08] <Myrtti> ruk: you could ask here?
[13:08] <Lathund> Any forumadmin or mod here from ubuntu forums? My account has gone missin for some strange reason.
[13:09] <Pici> Lathund: #ubuntuforums would be the place to go, but be patient.
[13:09] <Lathund> Pici: Ah, thanks.
[13:10] <DasEi> Mrokii: your choice, we are becoming offtopic, I got one with backlight, cheap platics, good writing (and still all keys working, let's see)
[13:11] <diddy> I am getting an error message on my the laptop that my friend gave me as a present. After turning on the power it says: Bad RTC battery, bad check sum (CMOS), check system. Then press [F1] key. Any ideas? Ubuntu 9.10 is installed.
[13:11] <ruk> Myrtti: i have got an ssh account. now i need to host my app on the site.i was trying to get the bzr branch of launchpad but i am getting this error: http://pastebin.com/d7b367b6c
[13:11] <ming_> how do i enable mms streaming on firefox?
[13:12] <Myrtti> ruk: oh, launchpad?
[13:12] <ruk> Myrtti: yup
[13:12] <CliffS> I have a very annoying problem, was wondering if anyone's got any ideas. Every time I start a session to irc.freenode.net (regardless of client) I get two pages printed on the network printer. CUPS in debug mode shows nothing so it must be something being sent directly.
[13:12] <Parabola> lol
[13:13] <Parabola> CliffS, thats the best bug ever
[13:13] <Paulo39> i have the 3.0 version of VirtualBox and i want to upgrade it by a deb package i have of 3-1 version. how can i do that? do i remove 3.0 version and install 3.1 after that?
[13:13] <Mrokii> DasEi:  Anyway, thanks for taking your time to help me. Will restart xorg now. Bye.
[13:13] <Parabola> Paulo39,  just update it, no need to remove
[13:13] <DasEi> good luck
[13:13] <CliffS> Parabola: I know it will be something obvious, I've just run out of ideas of where to look.
[13:13] <Myrtti> ruk: you could try #bzr, since your problem isn't really ssh but bzr
[13:14] <Paulo39> Parabola: but it isn't  the repositories version, when i open the debian package with GDeb, it tells me that there is a conflict with vb 3.0
[13:15] <tavi> a software similar to dance e jay?
[13:15] <Dr_Willis> CliffS:  what sort of stuff prints out?
[13:16] <Korigan> Bonjour, un serveur me semble étrange, je me demande si ce ne serait pas du phishing, puis-je parler à un admin?
[13:16] <Parabola> Paulo39,  ooo, then yeah, an uninstall should be fine
[13:16] <Parabola> Paulo39,  it wont remove your VMs
[13:16] <Paulo39> ok
[13:16] <DasEi> diddy: couldn't be clearer, replace battery
[13:16] <Korigan> sorry, i guess there is a phishing against ubuntu, is there an admin?
[13:16] <Parabola> i was gonna translate lol
[13:17] <Dr_Willis> Korigan:  see in #ubuntu-ops perhaps
[13:17] <Korigan> thanks Dr_Willis
[13:17] <CliffS> Dr_Willis:  Same every time:  A club symbol, a smiley, a club, two smileys, a corner and a backslash on one sheet.
[13:17] <atif> i've installed ubuntu 9.10 on my dell mini 9 with a usb stick (since it doesn't have a cdrom) and i am trying to install bcmwl-kernel-source from pool > restricted > b but the packet maneger gives me the error (Error: Dependency is not suitable: dkms) .. what seems to be the problem here?
[13:17] <Dr_Willis> CliffS:  so just a few characters.. thats very odd./
[13:17] <defenceminister> I plugged my ethernet cable into the wrong port of the two on my computer. I have manually set my configuration for the normal port. When I used the other port the network-manger seems to have edited these settings and now always attempts to use that port. I have managed to fix the settings but I now must ifup eth0 before getting any ip. Also after leaving the computer for a while it loses the ip.
[13:18] <DasEi> Korigan: phishing ? makes me curious
[13:18] <Dr_Willis> CliffS:  id be curious if it does it with different irc clients.
[13:18] <CliffS> Dr_Willis: The other sheet is diamond, smiley, upsilon, sygma, corner piece and backslash
[13:18] <Korigan> yup, it's packages.ubunut.com
[13:18] <main> hello
[13:18] <Korigan> they speak about ubuntu, appear like ubuntu, but just change the url :S
[13:18] <Dr_Willis> CliffS:  also be interesting test to see if it does it IF you stop the cups service.
[13:19] <Parabola> Dr_Willis,  dont think it would be able to print
[13:19] <CliffS> Dr_Willis: Tried it with scrollz ... it does it when switching to irc.freenode.net.  And yes, it does it with the printer disabled.   It's a network printer.
[13:20] <atif> i've installed ubuntu 9.10 on my dell mini 9 with a usb stick (since it doesn't have a cdrom) and i am trying to install bcmwl-kernel-source from pool > restricted > b but the packet maneger gives me the error (Error: Dependency is not suitable: dkms) .. what seems to be the problem here?
[13:20] <DasEi> diddy: not more then  5 Euro, prbly less
[13:21] <CliffS> How do you stop curl on Ubuntu?
[13:21] <diddy> DasEi, I have never replaced on. Is it difficult to do with a laptop?
[13:21] <Dr_Willis> well night all.
[13:21] <DasEi> diddy: depends on type, there are real chargeable battery, but mostly just a cell similar to clocks, just bigger
[13:22] <luxos> nas
[13:22] <luxos> como me conecto a ubuntu-es
[13:22] <LjL> luxos: /join #ubuntu-es

[13:23] <DasEi> Korigan: funny typo for sure, maybe just use the cotact given there ?
[13:23] <Myrtti> DasEi: it's been solved
[13:23] <ouyes> atif,  i think you need to install a driver for your wireless card
[13:24] <DasEi> thanks, Myrtti
[13:24] <ouyes> atif,  try this ifconfig -a
[13:24] <Korigan> yes, it's solved, it was the same ip :S

[13:34] <atif> psycho_oreos where can i get the drivers
[13:34] <steveccc> hi all - how well does ubutnu run on amd processors or would you all stick to intel
[13:34] <psycho_oreos> atif, from hardware drivers, inside settings I think
[13:35] <ouyes> psycho_oreos,  just a minute il find you a suitable driver
[13:35] <psycho_oreos> ouyes, no need, I've already found it, btw I'm helping atif, not that I own that card anyway
[13:35] <ouyes> psycho_oreos,  you two are together/
[13:35] <Akkernight> is there anyway to autorun a dvd?
[13:36] <psycho_oreos> ouyes, no I was helping him, I said to him to pastebin his lspci output
[13:36] <atif> ouyes here http://pastebin.com/d4d7c90ef
[13:36] <ouyes> psycho_oreos,  the problem was solved?
[13:36] <psycho_oreos> ouyes, not yet, suggesting him to get wl driver
[13:37] <tt> virtualbox used to work for me now i get two errors when i hit start
[13:37] <atif> psycho_oreos it says, no proprietary drivers are in use on this system.
[13:37] <tt> first failed to start session
[13:37] <conflix> hi everyone, just a quick question, has anyone gotten email to work on ubuntu with MS Exchange 2007?
[13:37] <tt> then kernel driver not installed
[13:37] <ouyes> atif,  wait a moment il try to find a driver for you, try to see system>admin>hardware driver if there is anything about 802.11 driver?
[13:38] <atif> ouyes, nah nothing there
[13:38] <luist> CliffS, that will replace in file names right.. i asked "inside" files
[13:38] <Myrtti> steveccc: no difference in performance
[13:38] <atif> ouyes do you want me to reboot once? it's my first session after a fresh ubuntu install. maybe reboot makes a difference
[13:38] <psycho_oreos> atif, 9.10?
[13:39] <DasEi> tt, wrong chan here, try #vbox or their FAQ on their hp, reinstall driver and dkms
[13:39] <atif> psycho_oreos yes!
[13:39] <psycho_oreos> atif, no need to reboot
[13:39] <ouyes> atif,  no need
[13:39] <atif> alright
[13:39] <tt> k i thought if i am running it on ubuntu there would be something specific but if it has its own support i can try that
[13:39] <ouyes> atif,  ok give it try, maybe you have a luck
[13:40] <iflema> Akkernight open nautilus in the properties on the media tab
[13:40] <psycho_oreos> atif,
 what about person's ability?
 i can read, copy, paste
 what more?
 you need to understand networking, wireless and the tools that you will be using
 ok
[13:40] <FloodBot4> psycho_oreos: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:40] <DasEi> tt: it's third party app, and common, easy to find
[13:40] <Akkernight> iflema, only have brasero... I think they do the same?
[13:40] <AceKing> Is it possible to take my hdd out of this computer and put it in a new one without reinstalling Ubuntu?
[13:40] <psycho_oreos> atif: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1309760
[13:40] <DasEi> AceKing: which distro ?
[13:41] <AceKing> DasEi, 9.10
[13:41] <psycho_oreos> oops wrong paste, apologies
[13:41] <psycho_oreos> atif: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1309760
[13:41] <DasEi> AceKing: prbly yes, but for sure have to reconfigure graphics
[13:41] <steveccc> myrtti: is the amd sempron like the intel celeron ie the lower class of processor?
[13:41] <atif> psycho_oreos sure, i'll read
[13:41] <iflema> Akkernight click on the places menu and click on home folder, then in the menu bar of nautilus select edit then preferences.. then select the media tab
[13:42] <atif> ouyes rebooted! same problem
[13:42] <AceKing> DasEi, It will startup with no problem?
[13:42] <Myrtti> steveccc: I'm not too much into hardware issues, so you need to do your own research
[13:42] <atif> i believe i would need to install drivers
[13:42] <sephy> steveccc: To simplify it, yes, but I think the celeron dual-core is better than the sempron. Not an ubuntu-related question though
[13:42] <DryGrain> AceKing, depends how similar the systems are
[13:42] <DasEi> AceKing: **prbly** , if the hardware isn't absolut exotic
[13:42] <Akkernight> iflema, I'm guessing I need to download nautalus?
[13:43] <DasEi> AceKing: first boot in safe mode and run an update/grade, reconfigure x
[13:43] <ouyes> atif, the info you pasted is not enough, i have not find the pid of the chip, try lspci -nn find  the bcm4312 info, list it here
[13:43] <AceKing> DasEi, DryGrain, I'm going to build a new one, this one is about 3 years old
[13:43] <iflema> Akkernight no... as  above
[13:43] <AceKing> DasEi, Ok
[13:43] <atif> ouyes sure, give me a sec
[13:43] <AceKing> DasEi, Thank you
[13:44] <Akkernight> iflema, ok, well what is this 'menu bar' you speak of?
[13:44] <Myrtti> BriGe: do not spam

[13:46] <Akkernight> iflema, sorry what? I'm in /home, and here are no files, only folders
[13:46] <DasEi> AceKing: so either use a server kernel or less then 4gig ram, including graphics
[13:46] <ouyes> atif, 14e4:4315 is the pid wait a moment, il find the driver for you
[13:46] <atif> ouyes thanks

[13:47] <deviad> Hello, in my compiz manager, under animations under the "random pool" list of animations I see there are many missing. This happened after reinstalling compiz to solve an issue. I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 karmic koala
[13:47] <DasEi> AceKing: you can't change 32 into 64, if you buy new, modern hw, 64 bit will be standard, yes all together 4gb max on 32 generic
[13:48] <DasEi> !PAe
[13:48] <ubuntu_> hello guys, how can I recover grub2????
[13:48] <zvacet> DasEi:  if you think of installing karmic then you can install 32 version with linux-generic-pae kernel
[13:48] <DasEi> !pae | AceKing, the server kernel has it per default
[13:48] <ouyes> atif, http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php please read the readme.txt file first
[13:48] <deviad> Can anyone pls help me to sort this thing out?
[13:48] <AceKing> DasEi, I appreciate your help!
[13:49] <blackxored> hello guys how can i recover grub2
[13:49] <blackxored> ???
[13:49] <iflema> Akkernight open the home folder... up the top of the window youll see the words in a line file edit view go bookmarks tabs help = select edit then preferences... then the media tab... unless u in kde4 or xubuntu or something.
[13:49] <blackxored> i'm booting from the live cd
[13:49] <atif> ouyes oh thanks, let me try
[13:49] <zvacet> !grub2 | blackxored
[13:49] <ouyes> atif,  just follow the readme.txt instructions, good luck, tell me the result ok?
[13:50] <AceKing> DasEi, Just out of curiosity, all the software that runs on 32 bit wont run on 64 bit right?
[13:50] <atif> ouyes sure, i will, thanks
[13:50] <DasEi> AceKing: for that, I'd take the 32 generic over to new machine, then install server (pae) kernel there, so once get a suitable initramfs
[13:50] <psycho_oreos> ouyes, I doubt he's going to get far unless he knows how to compile drivers
[13:50] <blackxored> zvacet, I think is a bit trickier than that, I have lvm setup and encrypted home
[13:50] <Akkernight> iflema, ok done
[13:50] <AceKing> DasEi, Ok, I will do that
[13:50] <ouyes> psycho_oreos,  i told him to read the readme file
[13:50] <Myrtti> jve: why do you want to remove it?
[13:50] <DasEi> AceKing: most packets provide same functions, and you can trick the 32 libs in 64
[13:51] <ouyes> psycho_oreos,  he will do well
[13:51] <zvacet> blackxored:  sorry you should say that
[13:51] <blackxored> zvacet, yes
[13:51] <DasEi> AceKing: but no 64 in 32, o' course
[13:51] <jve> Myrti: Does it matter?
[13:51] <psycho_oreos> ouyes, and the other thing is that there is wl driver available either in the repository or the cd, so there wasn't any need to compile a driver :)
[13:51] <zvacet> blackxored:  I don't know that one but I'm sure someone does
[13:51] <blackxored> zvacet, I was installing to a slave this, and probably misplace the grub installation step, now neither would boot
[13:52] <Myrtti> jve: atleast in grub (haven't checked grub2) it's possible to make the recoverymode require a password. I'd not remove it, just make it a bit more difficult to access
[13:52] <Akkernight> iflema, what am I supposed to do in here?
[13:52] <AceKing> DasEi, When I installed the 32 bit version it was because I thought I couldn't get as many things to run in 64
[13:52] <nikolaj_basher> Hi guys! I have installed daviCAL. When I have logged in and make a new user with the admin account. It go back to the log in screen.
[13:52] <ouyes> psycho_oreos,  but this is precisely right driver for his lap,
[13:52] <nikolaj_basher> Someone who know what the problem is?
[13:53] <psycho_oreos> ouyes, so was the link that I posted, oh well *shrugs*
[13:53] <jve> Myrtti: I want to boot into single mode without the recovery menu.
[13:53] <iflema> Akkernight lol... oh i dont know... argh... auto-run a dvd maybe
[13:53] <DasEi> AceKing: also could de-install your current graphics driver for less hassle on new machine, so it'll start up with vesa then;; less apps in 64 is a more recent probs, I don't know more than a handfull and you can drag 32 libs in 64 if really have to
[13:54] <ouyes> psycho_oreos,  this is the official  driver( i do not know if it is open , but it must work well)
[13:54] <Akkernight> iflema, there's nothing that is install a game or anything
[13:54] <psycho_oreos> ouyes, its not open driver, and it comes with source plus a few binary blobs..
[13:55] <AceKing> DasEi, Thank you for all the info. If I have any problems I'll try to find you in the channel
[13:55] <DasEi> AceKing: nice is to have 9.o4, move over, get right kernel, do a dist upgrade, have it tight on again
[13:55] <DasEi> AceKing: I'm the only one, yoyo , np
[13:55] <ouyes> psycho_oreos,  sometimes we do not have another choice but to solve the problem now
[13:56] <AceKing> DasEi, LOL
[13:56] <DasEi> hehe, good luck
[13:56] <AceKing> DasEi, Thanks!
[13:57] <zoiss> hey guys. i was setting up my kyocera printer, but i got some issues with it. the printer is ignoring all settings. it is printing in duplex always for example ...is there anyone who can help?
[13:57] <psycho_oreos> ouyes, what I'm trying to say was that there was a driver pre-built for that in ubuntu's repository or cd, its the exact same driver from the site except that its all made and ready to go.. the one on the site is the source of the driver and it won't compile well out of the box without the necessary tools when the one pre-made doesn't need anything of the sort
[13:57] <ouyes> psycho_oreos, i am worrid about he cannot compile the driver without errors, there needs some packages
[13:57] <iflema> Akkernight http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1300658
[13:58] <psycho_oreos> ouyes, which is why the link that I posted tells one how to grab the pre-made one, so there's no need to go compiling, etc
[13:59] <rrittenhouse> When I install and configure the vlan package on Karmic - when I reboot my eth0 doesn't come up until I comment my vlan stuff out in my interfaces file. Ideas? It worked in Jaunty.
[13:59] <ouyes> psycho_oreos,  sometimes a complied driver will solve something, especially something about the hardware
[13:59] <tyoc> Hi there, when I install ubuntu 9.10, I have added an extra partition and say that the mount point is to be /extra now in my user I can enter the folder but I can't create dirs or files, how do I correct this?
[14:00] <faemir> Hey guys, how can I get the normal GNOME desktop after installing netbook remix?
[14:00] <forceflow> faemir: check the preferences for "desktop switcher"
[14:00] <forceflow> you can select classic there
[14:00] <psycho_oreos> ouyes, not for this case, that I am fairly certain. 1) because the pre-made driver I'm sure will work, he's not the only user facing this issue 2) he doesn't sound knowledgeable, so this would mean a steep learning curve for him
[14:01] <DasEi> tyoc: correct fstab
[14:01] <ouyes> psycho_oreos,  2) SO DO ME
[14:01] <faemir> forceflow, it says it cannot install it in the current data?

[14:11] <CliffS> Don't know if anyone cares but I got to the bottom of irc.freenode.net causing two pages to print on my networked printer.  I'm getting attempted connections from proxyscan.freenode.net on port 9100 (which is open on the NAT to the printer). http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d59f04051
[14:11] <step> CliffS, you get a proxy scan when you connect to irc
[14:12] <step> to make sure you arnt using a proxy
[14:12] <|nv|s|b|e> echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches == clears cache
[14:12] <|nv|s|b|e> oops
[14:12] <step> :o

[14:15] <rickogden> hi all
[14:15] <iflema> http://www.getdeb.net/updates/ubuntu/9.10/
[14:15] <rickogden> how would I go about adding menu entries into the gnome menu for every user?
[14:16] <CliffS> DasEi: I need 9100 open to the printer in order to be able to print from outside the firewall.  I suppose I'll just have to set up a filter against proxyscan.freenode.net.
[14:17] <DasEi> CliffS: so or define what may speak to the printers ip
[14:17] <step> so if i telnet to your port 9100 CliffS , and starting telling jokes, would it be funny
[14:18] <Dravekx> how do I symlink a directory to a user's home dir?
[14:18] <CliffS> step: no, it would just waste paper.
[14:18] <coolcat> step, The command free says that I have 3962 Mb of memory, so the percentage will be on this value?
[14:18] <Amanieu> How can I swap left and right audio channels in pulseaudio?

[14:18] <step> yes if its not counting swap file aswell coolcat
[14:19] <DasEi> collcat: right
[14:19] <iflema> Dravekx youll need permission if your not the owner of the target.... right click on whatever and select make link or in terminal type man ln
[14:19] <step> swap partition!
[14:20] <jve> Myrtti: I found the solution. Remove the packet friendly-recovery and the recovery menu is disabled.

[14:31] <gey> Good  morning!
[14:31] <Pici> !de | Vcache
[14:32] <munsking> so i just tried to install a sound driver which came on my motherboard's driver CD and that removed my old driver but failed to install the new one
[14:32] <Vcache> how can i run dat.php in a terminal, what is a propiate command?
[14:32] <munsking> and now im without sound, how can i get it back
[14:32] <theDom> can anyone help me with playing .vob files interactively?
[14:32] <MenZa> Vcache: php dat.php.
[14:33] <iflema> munsking a linux motherboard criver on a cd... does this go on....
[14:33] <rootEth> I'm trying to install creative sound driver on ubuntu 9.10 and when I try to make I get an error "make[1]: *** No rule to make target `driver/XFiDrv_Linux_Public_US_1.00'. Stop."
[14:33] <rootEth> any1 help?
[14:33] <munsking> iflema: what do you mean?
[14:34] <iflema> driver
[14:34] <Vcache> thx @ MenZa
[14:34] <munsking> iflema: i still dont get what you were trying to say
[14:35] <DasEi> rootEth: oh, there is a linuxdriver now ? check out side of alsaproject, until know I just saw them good in a ballistical manner concerning linux
[14:35] <iflema> munsking does you motherboard manufacturer provide linux drivers on the cds
[14:35] <Dravekx> okay, symlinks are confusing
[14:35] <Dravekx> I have FTP users locked in their directories.
[14:36] <munsking> iflema: i guess it does, i was just browsing though the CD and found a folder called linux drivers
[14:36] <iflema> Dravekx symbolic links...... just a little
[14:36] <Dravekx> and I want them to see /var/www/their_directory
[14:36] <Dravekx> dont I symlink it?
[14:36] <iflema> munsking oooh
[14:37] <munsking> iflema: i thought it might fix my mic problems so i installed it... bad choice
[14:37] <Dravekx> iflema, isnt that correct? if I have a user locked his home/user directory, and I want him to see /var/www/user << then I symlink?
[14:37] <iflema> Dravekx yes... you need permissions/superuser privileges
[14:37] <Ziber> If I have a disk.img, that I mounted, and I mounted an iso, if I run ./cdrominstaller in the directory where I mounted the disk.img, will it install there?
[14:37] <Dravekx> iflema, I have that. :)
[14:37] <theDom> can anyone help me with playing .vob movie files interactively?
[14:38] <Louiie> What's the best type of laptop to have Ubuntu on? And where is it possible to buy a laptop without an OS?
[14:38] <MenZa> !hardware | Louiie
[14:38] <LjL> !laptop | Louiie
[14:38] <drizzt_> where do the gnome theme settings are stored?
[14:38] <erUSUL> Louiie: you can buy a laptop with ubuntu preinstalled from dell or system76
[14:39] <MenZa> Louiie: It's often difficult to find laptops without OSes. As erUSUL points out, if you're in the US, check system76.com or dell.com.
[14:39] <iflema> Dravekx well its a permissions thing... i mean whoever owns this home directory that need a link has to be allowed to access /var/www/users... im not sure
[14:39] <erUSUL> drizzt_: some in ~/.config/ some on ~/.gnome*/ some in gconf (use gconf-editor)
[14:39] <Phong> i'm using ubuntu Remote desktop, how come it does not refresh the screen for the view ?
[14:39] <Phong> any idea have any clue?
[14:39] <DasEi> rootEth: emu20k2 is there now, you'll have to get neweset alsa - packet first, and install build-essential, before that works, linux <> x-fi is ..
[14:39] <Louiie> MenZa: I'm in the UK :) it's about another £100 to have ubuntu pre installed..
[14:40] <Phong> i'm using ubuntu Remote desktop, how come it does not refresh the screen for the viewer
[14:40] <boolean> morning: does anyone know what is the cli to bring up the GUI system package manager ?
[14:40] <Phong> help is appreciated
[14:40] <MenZa> Louiie: Ouch. I don't personally know of any UK retailers that'll sell laptops without an OS; perhaps try the good people over at #ubuntu-uk
[14:40] <erUSUL> Louiie: anther option is to assemble the machine yourself ;)
[14:40] <LjL> boolean: "synaptic", i guess
[14:40] <munsking> so, can someone help me get the default driver back? and it also looks like ubuntu doesnt recognise my "sound card" anymore
[14:40] <munsking> ow brb
[14:40] <MenZa> erUSUL: That's hardly feasible for laptops :P
[14:41] <UbuntuN00B> is there a reason why my pc keeps freezing? every time I do video's or anyhting related to videos it freezes, If i record desktop it freezes, if I play video files .mkv, .avi etc. or if I play youtube videos. I downloaded every codec under the sun and reinstalled ubuntu 4 times now
[14:41] <nibbler> munsking, default driver for what?
[14:41] <DasEi> rootEth: I'm tired here now and will give it another 30 minutes, but we got to move straight forward then, without gurantee on success, that's a nasty one
[14:41] <Louiie> erUSUL: That's what Ive done with this one, but the hd is now imminent, the battery has messed up and basically I need a whole new laptop :)
[14:41] <UbuntuN00B> sometimes if I'm playing music and installing something it freezes as well
[14:42] <nibbler> UbuntuN00B, are you sure its not a hardware problem?
[14:42] <DasEi> rootEth: ready for that ?
[14:42] <bmint_> I am trying to fetch the following package through apt-get and I get 404 page not found.  Any one know if these update servers are down?   http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/k/krb5/krb5-user_1.6.dfsg.3~beta1-2ubuntu1.1_i386.deb
[14:42] <nibbler> bmint_: run apt-get update
[14:42] <rek> hi i want a wide choice of text-based applications
[14:43] <UbuntuN00B> not sure, would a defective HDD do it? I mean whats the HDD have to do with youtube videos which don't access the HDD at all to my knowlege.

[14:43] <LjL> rek: can you be more generic?
[14:43] <rek> hi want application

[14:43] <|nv|s|b|e> a defective h/d (would) cause problems
[14:44] <nibbler> munsking, no idea then
[14:44] <munsking> iflema: yup
[14:44] <rek> ljL ! only command line apps
[14:44] <munsking> nibbler: aw
[14:44] <nibbler> UbuntuN00B, also flash writes to harddrive, it buffers the stuff to /tmp/
[14:44] <UbuntuN00B> nibbler I'm starting to think so cause even with windows on it prior to Ubuntu it would do the same thing :/
[14:44] <DasEi> bmint: the 'k looks suspicious
[14:45] <boolean> LjL: actually I am looking the GUI application that pops up to inform you of the upgrades ( and not all packages like synaptics )
[14:45] <theDom> please help RE: inteactive .vob video files
[14:45] <Dravekx> iflema, I created the link but the user cant see it via FTP.
[14:45] <Brixius> q: in karmic the gdm login screen shows user's you pick from a list and enter your password, I'd like the old ask for username back, where do I change this?
[14:45] <LjL> boolean: what do you mean not all packages like synaptic?
[14:45] <nibbler> UbuntuN00B, thats almost a prove then, if you ahve two completely different OS' both crashing same style
[14:45] <Phong> ok, how to Try disabling compiz on the remote machine
[14:45] <Phong> any one have a clue?
[14:45] <Phong> i'm new to ubuntu
[14:46] <boolean> LjL: I don't know if it is an applet but if your ubuntu has update, as opposed to using apt-get from the command line, there is a GUI tool for this
[14:46] <drizzt_> Brixius, nowhere, they removed this feature
[14:46] <UbuntuN00B> better question if I got a new Motherboard and or GPU would Ubuntu still work since the data's on the HDD not the motherboard or GPU. so basically asking if I swap out the 2 parts and not the HDD would it load up like normal or do I have to do something or reinstall?
[14:46] <LjL> boolean: yes, i don't know what the command is for that
[14:46] <nibbler> UbuntuN00B, the hardware problem, if you are lucky, can be overheating. check your computer for dust on the inside, especially between the FAN and the CPU-Cooler-passive-part
[14:46] <boolean> LjL: that makes 2 of us :)
[14:46] <Phong> ok, how to "disabling compiz on the remote machine"
[14:46] <Phong> please help.!!!
[14:47] <LjL> boolean: it might just be synaptic with some command line option
[14:47] <nibbler> UbuntuN00B, it will work on differnt hardware, as long as you dont go backwards toooo far ;-)
[14:47] <boolean> LjL: synaptic doesnt have much in options
[14:47] <Brixius> well then I might have to go back to an older version of ubuntu :(
[14:47] <Dravekx> symlinks SUCCCKKK
[14:48] <UbuntuN00B> lol thanks :) and yes there is lots of dust on the inside its been unused for a while and my HDD is not inside the case so maybe that might be getting hot not being cooled by anything.
[14:48] <nibbler> Dravekx, actually the rul0r
[14:48] <xsssx> hi, is it possible to use the ubuntu packages for say, gnu octave, with knoppix, given all dependencies
[14:48] <Dravekx> nibbler, I set up the link.. its there, but FTP wont see it.
[14:48] <UbuntuN00B> let me clean it up and put the HDD inside maybe it will be fine after.
[14:48] <Dravekx> what does that mean?
[14:48] <|nv|s|b|e> UbuntuN00B- .. disassemble it and clean it.. use a can of air also..
[14:49] <gehiks> Hi
[14:49] <nibbler> UbuntuN00B, use a vacuum cleaner, suck out the dust especially between fan/cpu. mind that the fan is *not* supposed to spin during this, use a pen to hold it still
[14:49] <nibbler> Dravekx, it can be configured to follow symlinks or not i guess
[14:49] <gehiks> can someone explain me how to install a program from it sources?
[14:50] <Dravekx> nibbler, its proftpd.. it is setup to see symlinks, but doesnt work with filezilla.
[14:50] <nibbler> gehiks, ./configure && make && checkinstall
[14:50] <gehiks> thx nibble
[14:50] <UbuntuN00B> nibbler holy hell I touched the heatsink ontop of the CPU and its blazing hot thats not good I don't think.
[14:50] <nibbler> Dravekx, i stick with symlinks rule. maybe filezilla sucks :p
[14:50] <nibbler> UbuntuN00B, nope, not at all :p
[14:50] <m0ar> What's the diffrence between a hardlink and a symlink with ln?
[14:50] <jriehle87> Hi im having a problem with blizzard updater
[14:50] <UbuntuN00B> nibbler like I could really no lie cook an egg on it
[14:50] <jriehle87> any assistance?
[14:50] <m0ar> man ln didn't make me understand
[14:50] <m0ar> :)
[14:50] <nibbler> UbuntuN00B, if its reasonably clean, check if your fan is spinning fast enough when it is running
[14:50] <kuchi> install from source: apt-get install dpkg-dev; apt-get source your-package
[14:50] <devunt_> good night!
[14:51] <drizzt_> jriehle87, which update?
[14:51] <|nv|s|b|e> shut it down and clean it UbuntuN00B
[14:51] <nibbler> UbuntuN00B, at least it looks good for some easy+cheap solution then :)
[14:51] <jriehle87> 3.2 full
[14:51] <jriehle87> its not going anywhere
[14:52] <LjL> !info packagesearch | rek you could use this to specify the "interface::commandline" tag
[14:52] <UbuntuN00B> nibbler if the heatsink is that hot do you think I should be remounting it again with a better adhesive?
[14:52] <drizzt_> jriehle87, which stage is shown below the progress bar?
[14:52] <boolean> LjL: found it! tis called update-notifier

[14:53] <kuchi> drizzt_: tu'urden

[14:53] <gehiks> thx kuchi
[14:53] <nibbler> UbuntuN00B, is there a big amount of dust between fan+heatsink?
[14:53] <UbuntuN00B> nibbler k
[14:53] <jriehle87> im only having 2 issues
[14:53] <jriehle87> other than that, ubuntu is great
[14:53] <kuchi> gehiks: np
[14:53] <gehiks> kuchi: actually the package I want is not on deb-src
[14:54] <UbuntuN00B> nibbler looks like I have a good amount of dust on the heatsink and on fan blades
[14:54] <jriehle87> The update could not be applied.

[14:54] <UbuntuN00B> nibbler i'd clean it now but its would be to load and peole are sleeping :/
[14:55] <drizzt_> jriehle87, can you create and delete files there manually?
[14:55] <jriehle87> ill try
[14:55] <nibbler> UbuntuN00B, heatsink/fan are not easily damaged, maybe you can use a small screwdriver or something alike to push the dust out
[14:55] <kuchi> gehiks: mkdir downloaded-prog; mv downloaded.tgz downloaded-prog/;cd downloaded-prog; tar xzvf downloaded-prog.tgz; cd downloaded-prog-srcorwhatelse; ./configure; make; sudo make install#that will take some time
[14:55] <nibbler> UbuntuN00B, or dismount the fan, than its easy to clean
[14:56] <UbuntuN00B> nibbler yeah I'm probably going to take the fan off to clean it
[14:56] <kuchi> gehiks: its a bz so tar xjvf file.tar.bz2
[14:56] <UbuntuN00B> nibbler I hope that this was and has been the problem all along for both OS's

[14:57] <gehiks> kuchi: I had no problem uncompressing
[14:58] <frostburn> munsking, only if you have  a backup or have /home on a different partition
[14:58] <boolean> question: is there a cli version for update-notifier?
[14:58] <UbuntuN00B> nibbler now that I thin about it the programs i was using were more resource demading so that would seem like a way to overheat it and casing it to crash
[14:58] <munsking> frostburn: ow :(
[14:58] <kuchi> munsking: if you have an extra partition for your home dir and all your data you want to hold is there just reinstall and dont touch the partition at isntallation you can remount it later
[14:58] <jriehle87> The update could not be applied.
[14:58] <jriehle87>  The file "C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Battle.net.dll.temp" could not be created.

[15:03] <Brixius> kuchi: no, I'm trying to find where in karmic the graphical login screen is getting the list to populate the users to select from on the login screen
[15:03] <meuserj> ever since upgrading to Karmic, a bunch of my services no longer automatically start up when I reboot the system... most noticeable culprits are the ssh server and cups..  which don't seem to use upstart.. how do I configure the system to also do the rc scripts
[15:03] <Brixius> I hope that makes sense...
[15:03] <nibbler> Brixius, i have no idea, but i'd gues its /etc/passwd
[15:04] <UbuntuN00B> nibbler if I take a HDD I had for a windows XP system that was nothing but a rag and drop HDD and put it as a slave drive on my Ubuntu PC would it delete anyhting off the HDD or can I see the files and possibly burn them to a CD so I can use them on my other windows PC?
[15:05] <Brixius> nibbler: which would make sense if it displayed everyone in /etc/passwd but it doesn't show users like root, daemon, sys. mail, etc...
[15:06] <jriehle87> anyone have a problem with frostwire, it doenst want to play mp3s. ubuntu plays em, but frostwire doesnt. and it toggles through my sonds uncontrollably
[15:06] <magicvibe> hi can someone provide me with some help... ive recently installed some package updates via the update manager, but after rebooting my screen res dropped to 640x480, my monitor was recognized as a crt but it's an LCD also all my "windows" have no window border
[15:07] <nibbler> Brixius, i'd guess it loks for IDs>1000
[15:07] <Brixius> I hate this new login screen, in karmic that display's usernames it goes against everything from a security standpoint.  Let's just give away the user names, that way you only have to guess the password....
[15:07] <llutz> Brixius: uid >= 1000
[15:07] <nibbler> UbuntuN00B, should work, no OS will overwrite any partition or data while booting but its own (like /tmp  or stuff)
[15:07] <erUSUL> magicvibe: how did you installed the graphic drivers you where using
[15:07] <erUSUL> ?
[15:07] <nibbler> Brixius, i totally agree. if you find out how to disable it, tell me please

[15:08] <Paulo39> hi, i downloaded ubuntu-9.10-alternate-i386.iso.torrent from http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#alternate in order to make a command-line system installation, but when i installed i get graphical user interface anyway... just the installation was in text-mode. In the first menu, after choose the language, i press F4 but there was only the optiion "Normal"
[15:08] <jenda> Is there a way to measure CPU temperature in Ubuntu?
[15:09] <nibbler> jenda, yep, its all about "sensors"
[15:09] <UbuntuN00B> nibbler so even if the file types are not Ubuntu file types it will still show and I can use a burning program to back them up to sent to a PC? sounds great :)
[15:09] <llutz> !minimal | Paulo39 if you don't want any X, use this
[15:09] <magicvibe> erUSUL; i have an nvidia gf fx 5200 128mb and when i installed ubuntu it recognized it very well... but when it came to using advanced GUI from the "change desktop background" options it had said that i would need to install so n so, click yes or no to continue
[15:09] <nibbler> UbuntuN00B, yep. you'll get a new entry in "places" for every partition which you can access then
[15:09] <LjL> Paulo39, the alternate CD is just a different installer, unless you explicitly tell it to install command line, it won't. anyway, at this point, i guess you could just remove X and xlibs...?
