[06:35] <knoxville> cgkades, i have it working just wanted to expand the scope
[06:35] <ienorand> shadeslayer: sudo -u username command
[06:35] <chetnick> i doubt 5% on the channel use antivirus at all ... if any comercial.
[06:35] <cgkades> knoxville: thats good. i havent gotten it working yet. though i admit i havent given it much effort
[06:35] <Reticenti> I just installed Wubi Ubuntu on XP, and when I load it up, everything freezes except my mouse, which moves very slowly. ctrl-alt-bkspc, ctrl-alt-f1, etc doesnt do anything. I am on a tablet laptop, what do you think is wrong?
[06:35] <shadeslayer> unkmar: yep. so how do i define variablename?? its supposed to be a string
[06:35] <sacarlson> my terminal window problem must be something to do with the keychain program.   I was also forced to reset the computer couldn't shutdown.
[06:36] <ienorand> shadeslayer: not really sure what you were asking fr...
[06:36] <shadeslayer> char var10]
[06:36] <sacarlson> after reboot the terminal window is now working and keychain is functioning
[06:36] <hacker_kid> im getting a high pitched whine whenever i record audio, what could cause that?
[06:36] <sparr> chetnick: I might take that bet...  popcon says 10% of ubuntu users have clamav-base installed
[06:36] <shadeslayer> ienorand: i need to copy one file from multiple files to a location.the file needs to be chosen by the user
[06:37] <shadeslayer> ienorand: so like in C++ i declare char var[10]
[06:37] <sparr> while you could claim that most of those people don't actually USE it, I would counter-claim that this channel is likely populated by the other end of the spectrum, on average
[06:38] <Q_Continuum> Okay, what's the fastest way to copy migrate over from an 8.10 install to a 9.04 install?  (Seperate drives, I'm on the new install, have the old up as an external) - anything I need to worry about having changed?
[06:38] <chetnick> sparr: well ok, but clamv is not commercial or i am wrong?
[06:38] <ienorand> Doof_: You could contribute in the wiki https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport if you want to report working hardware for ubuntu...
[06:38] <sacarlson> I think KeyChain 2.6.8 has a problem
[06:38] <davexor> Greetings
[06:38] <davexor> :)
[06:39] <Dday> Okay i have ubuntu as a wubi, in songbird whenever i restart or turn off the comp
[06:39] <Dday> It says the files cannot be located
[06:39] <Dday> And i need to add the songs again
[06:39] <Dday> THe music is on the windows part of the hard drive btw
[06:39] <ienorand> shadeslayer: ah, though you wanted a command executed as a specific user, I'm not so savvy on scripting, sorry.
[06:39] <shadeslayer> unkmar: did you get my point?
[06:40] <shadeslayer> ienorand: not a specific user but a specific file from multiple files
[06:40] <Reticenti> I just installed Wubi Ubuntu on XP, and when I load it up, everything freezes except my mouse, which moves very slowly. ctrl-alt-bkspc, ctrl-alt-f1, etc doesnt do anything. I am on a tablet laptop, what do you think is wrong?
[06:40] <shadeslayer> in the same folder
[06:40] <davexor> Dday, have you tried moving one of the files over to the Ubuntu "partition"
[06:40] <Counterspell> 9.04 is so unstable WTF
[06:40] <Counterspell> 9.04 crashes so much my whole system freezes
[06:40] <Dday> I can't, my ubuntu partition is only 30gb
[06:40] <Dday> My music is much larger than that
[06:40] <PLyTheMan> Does anyone know why 9.10 won't see my wired network?  All I can get is my neighbors wifi.  I know the network is up, and the router lights up when I plug the jack into my computer, but I can't get anything for a wired connection
[06:40] <davexor> Oh i know
[06:40] <ienorand> Counterspell: intel graphics?
[06:40] <bullgard4> Khisanth: Thank you very much for your help.
[06:40] <davexor> I meant to try it with just one file
[06:40] <Counterspell> ienorand: ATI (but with an additional intel card but it's not enabled)
[06:40] <davexor> to narrow down the possible problems
[06:41] <shadeslayer> Counterspell: try to get your problem solved here,instead of ranting
[06:41] <Counterspell> shadeslayer: i'de like to rant :p
[06:41] <NetEcho> anyone here use MoBlock?
[06:41] <chunfeng> hello everyone
[06:41] <skifter> o/
[06:41] <chetnick> does anybody have iptables firewall setup on ubuntu? About year and half ago, i wanted to setup iptables firewall on my ubuntu desktop, but at that time Network Manager had some issues with it. Is that still tha case ?
[06:42] <sparr> chetnick: you said at all
[06:42] <Reticenti> I just installed Wubi Ubuntu on XP, and when I load it up, everything freezes except my mouse, which moves very slowly. ctrl-alt-bkspc, ctrl-alt-f1, etc doesnt do anything. I am on a tablet laptop, what do you think is wrong?
[06:42] <skifter> chet, I use an iptables based fw, no problems here
[06:42] <unkmar> shadeslayer: read variablename
[06:42] <unkmar> shadeslayer: echo $variablename
[06:42] <ienorand> PLyTheMan: if you indeed are on 9.10, the question belongs in #ubuntu+1, and you should prbably see if you can scrape together enough info for a bug report, provided it worked in 9.04...
[06:43] <chetnick> sparr: i know, i'm not saying that you are not right, i am just asking about clamv, is it commercial or no?
[06:43] <shadeslayer> unkmar: so how do i declare the variable? read is for reading echo is for displaying
[06:43] <shadeslayer> unkmar: does it get automaatically declared?
[06:43] <shadeslayer> *automatically
[06:44] <PLyTheMan> ienorand: it wasn't working on 8.1 either
[06:44] <Reticenti> I just installed Wubi Ubuntu on XP, and when I load it up, everything freezes except my mouse, which moves very slowly. ctrl-alt-bkspc, ctrl-alt-f1, etc doesnt do anything. I am on a tablet laptop, what do you think is wrong?
[06:44] <sparr> chetnick: it is not, alone, although a number of companies sell it as part of a larger package
[06:44] <shadeslayer> Reticenti: ctrl+alt+backspc has been disabled by upstream
[06:45] <Sergey> shadeslayer: read VAR
[06:45] <Sergey> shadeslayer:echo $VAR;
[06:45] <Reticenti> ctrl-alt-f1 doesnt do anything either shadeslayer
[06:45] <r2r4> hello. i want wo know the fileencoding of a file. i know vim can do that . but i need a non-interactive way. any help . plz ?
[06:45] <shadeslayer> Sergey: ok,read then declares AND reads VAR i think?>
[06:45] <Reticenti> and everything freezes, except for the mouse, which gets updated about every 1 second or so, shadeslayer
[06:45] <EdLin> !netbook remix
[06:45] <Sergey> shadeslayer: yes
[06:45] <shadeslayer> ok
[06:46] <maco> !unr
[06:46] <luddite> whats the command line for the gnome themes
[06:46] <maco> luddite: what?
[06:46] <luddite> ? they all disapeared
[06:46] <Reticenti> r2r4: i think "file <filename>" works
[06:46] <shadeslayer> Sergey: how do i use it in a location,such as /home/shadeslayer/var or something diff. ?
[06:46] <PLyTheMan> is there a command for updating all drivers?  or in my case updating my network card?
[06:46] <Sergey> shadeslayer: you read a string, and then you make of it whatever you need =)
[06:46] <luddite> maco : can i run the gnome themes gui from command line (im in fluxbox so have no menu as such)
[06:47] <shadeslayer> PLyTheMan: your kernel is your driver database ;)
[06:47] <Sergey> shadeslayer: you want to have auto-completion?
[06:47] <ienorand> PLyTheMan: update manager should take care of it...
[06:47] <maco> luddite: oh....you can type "gnome-" and hit tab twice and itll show a list of what's available. maybe gnome-appearances?
[06:47] <r2r4> Reticenti, ok thanks!. i'll take a try. maybe i need feeding some args for `file`
[06:47] <Reticenti> r2r4: http://www.foogazi.com/2007/10/26/quickzi-how-to-determine-file-types-on-linux/
[06:47] <EdLin> I have a problem, I run ubuntu netbook remix and for some reason it isn't running the panel on boot either in nb remix mode or in standard ubuntu gnome mode
[06:47] <knoxville> how can I change the default gateway on this entry <IP_ADDRESS>        *               <IP_ADDRESS>   U     0      0        0 tap0
[06:47] <ienorand> PLyTheMan: sorry was this wired or wireless?
[06:48] <PLyTheMan> wired is not working, wireless is
[06:48] <RichiV> can you guys tell me how stuffed your desktop looks?
[06:48] <Dayofswords1> i got a problem, if leave my computer alone it goes to screen-saver, if i move mouse, i can login and do things, but if wait long enough and the pc go into hibernate , i go back on pc and mouse/click, the screen go to login but the screen goes crazy. everything rapidly fly horizontal, not like any feature would do, is there something wrong?
[06:48] <shadeslayer> Sergey: no like suppose the user enters ubuntu.png (the files are all icons.png) located in /home/shadeslayer/Desktop/Icons so how do i get the script to ask the user which icon to use ?
[06:48] <PLyTheMan> when I click on networking and look at the list there's nothing under wired
[06:48] <PLyTheMan> even tho the router lights up when I plug the jack in
[06:48] <ienorand> PLyTheMan: what does "sudo dhclient eth0" give you?
[06:48] <ienorand> PLyTheMan: pastebin...
[06:48] <r2r4> Reticenti, thanks again. 'the fileencoding', i mean, like 'utf8' 'unicode' or something. it seems that 'file' does not care about this
[06:48] <Soren_> is there a god of Ubuntu sound here?  I have been here a number of times with no luck..........my Gateway 4520GZ remains mute.......... the web had quite a few threads showing that there is an issie with this sound card but the suggestions they give donothing for mine. according to other OPs here,my system "thinks" that it is playing sound, but nothing is actuallly playd
[06:48] <PLyTheMan> will do, one sec
[06:49] <Sergey> shadeslayer: echo "Please enter the icon filename: "
[06:49] <goodnet5> kk
[06:49] <Sergey> shadeslayer: read ICON
[06:49] <shadeslayer> Sergey: and how to use the Variable in the location
[06:49] <Sergey> shadeslayer: echo "You've entered $ICON"
[06:49] <chuck_> PLyTheMan: If your using 9.10 it is still in beta so any problems you have should be filing a bug report because what you are doing is testing the release.
[06:49] <Sergey> shadeslayer: or something =)
[06:49] <maco> Soren_: the guy that knows the most about sound in ubuntu is currently asleep because he had to take allergy medicine
[06:49] <shadeslayer> Sergey: ok,i got that part,now how to get to that location?
[06:49] <luddite> maco - awesome - tab tab is great. cheers man
[06:49] <PLyTheMan> chuck_: for what its worth, I had the same problem in 8.10

[06:51] <taz> hello people... update manger...it still there it said linux-restricted-modules-generic  .. how can i fix this...
[06:51] <RichiV> i just dl the stable version of wine, 1.01 how do i install it?
[06:51] <Sergey> shadeslayer: just like ieonard said. Just tested =)
[06:51] <maco> Soren_: you may want to hang out in #ubuntu-audio-help, though its 2am in our time zone
[06:51] <Dayofswords> can anyone help me?
[06:51] <Reticenti> I just installed ubuntu, and everything keeps on freezing, I think it has something to do with the wacom tablet setting (i'm on a talblet laptop), but the xorg.conf file doesn't show anything for it, any help?
[06:51] <maco> Dayofswords1: hibernating can be set in the system -> preferences -> power management (i think that's where it is...)
[06:51] <Soren_> ooooooooo, cool, didn't know it existed
[06:51] <Soren_> tyvm
[06:51] <davexor> Would anyone happen to know how to get a 42in Vizio HDtv to display correctly as a monitor?  I have been trying but it crops the edges of my screen
[06:51] <Dayofswords> i'm not trying to change the mode, but why does the screen freak out?
[06:52] <unkmar> shadeslayer: yes, automatically created, Like back in the BASIC days.
[06:52] <maco> Dayofswords: if you mean the screen is turning off and goes all stupid when you bring it back, ive seen that before, but i'm not sure what it is. the computer where i saw it was my mom's, and her graphics chip is known to be dying (it did the same thing under windows years before i put ubuntu on it)
[06:52] <RichiV> can someone help me install wine? 1.0.1?
[06:53] <Reticenti> RichiV: sudo apt-get intall wine    doesnt work?
[06:53] <PLyTheMan> ienorand: http://paste.ubuntu.com/165882/
[06:53] <Reticenti> install*
[06:53] <RichiV> ok ill do that
[06:53] <Dayofswords> well, rip my graphic card
[06:53] <luddite> davexor : just plug it in - and itt should be detected. open your Display Preferences
[06:53] <PLyTheMan> ienorand: I copied a bit much, sorry, thats some of my other attempts
[06:53] <luddite> davexor : select mirror screens or whatever you prefer
[06:54] <davexor> No, i have tried that Ludditz.  The issue happens when i load my Nvidia driver.  (sorry forgot to say that part)
[06:54] <Wortman> ok I need a very specific ease of access tool for those of us who have synesthesia
[06:54] <luddite> use your nvidia control gui
[06:54] <RichiV> lol l i'm not trying to install the newest version
[06:54] <RichiV> i want the stable wine
[06:54] <Reticenti> I just installed ubuntu, and everything keeps on freezing, I think it has something to do with the wacom tablet setting (i'm on a talblet laptop), but the xorg.conf file doesn't show anything for it, any help?
[06:54] <EdLin> help with gnome-panel not running on startup with netbook remix?
[06:55] <Dayofswords> ok, i change my power mangement to never hibernate, that should work fine for me
[06:55] <Surlent777> hi, uh, I noticed that my mic is suddenly no longer working this evening, and I just tested it in XP and it worked there. Any idea what may have happened?
[06:55] <ienorand> PLyTheMan: try just pinging your router, if you can do that I'd say something is bogus with the other end of the connection...
[06:55] <Surlent777> Its volume is all the way up in the gnome volume control thing
[06:55] <DivePeak> Hi all - noob looking for some help setting up iSCSI enterprise target (I part way through the Wiki instructions, and 'make' terminates with an error)
[06:56] <davexor> Luddite, when i use my Nvidia_settings manager, no matter what resolution i set it to it crops the screen.  In Windows the driver has an option to resize the desktop.  Not the case in Ubuntu
[06:56] <Surlent777> oh wait nm found it
[06:56] <Surlent777> went to capture and it was somehow down all the way
[06:56] <PLyTheMan> ienorand: <IP_ADDRESS>, right?  I pinged it fine, nothing lost
[06:56] <luddite> davexor : i dont use nvidia only ati - sorry
[06:57] <n2diy> davexor: have you checked your aspect ration?
[06:57] <davexor> Luddite: Its ok
[06:57] <tom342> so what Software do you guys use for web research?
[06:57] <ienorand> PLyTheMan: Are you able to connect via that using other compters?
[06:57] <tom342> :O?
[06:57] <dsabecky> tom342: Wikipedia and Google
[06:57] <PLyTheMan> yeah, this comp I'm on right now is through the same router
[06:57] <tom342> next!
[06:57] <tom342> :)
[06:57] <DivePeak> Tom: LimeSurvey
[06:58] <Tetracomm> Good night.
[06:58] <r2r4> Reticenti, i got a nice util name 'enca' , which can detect all kinds of fileencoding. perhaps you will be gald to get it. http://freshmeat.net/projects/enca/

[06:59] <tom342> what's a good web research software for extracting & searching?
[06:59] <tom342> i want to add notes to it too, and modify the content
[06:59] <shadeslayer> my first script :P
[06:59] <n2diy> tom342: perl
[06:59] <DivePeak> tom342: can you define "web research"?
[07:00]  * tom342 sighs :Oo
[07:00] <tom342> yes, eg Health web sites.. I want to save parts of web pages easily
[07:00] <Ill> What is the best way to upgrade a server on the command line?
[07:00] <tom342> modify their contents easily, & find them easily when i need to
[07:01] <Ill> do-upgrade -d
[07:01] <Ill> do-dist-upgrade -d?
[07:01] <DivePeak> tom342: Oh, I misunderstood. Sorry, can't help with that...
[07:01] <tom342> they must offer keywords and not top-down folder hierarchy which is a pain as the nature of information is highly cross-referential usually with many keywords
[07:02] <tom342> anyone?
[07:02] <Reticenti> I just installed ubuntu, and everything keeps on freezing, I think it has something to do with the wacom tablet setting (i'm on a talblet laptop), but the xorg.conf file doesn't show anything for it, any help?

[07:04] <Rohit_kgec> I want to connect s video out port of my laptop to the TV. can someone help me?
[07:04] <blackbutterfly_> Rohit_kgec: yes, a cable
[07:05] <Rohit_kgec> i have a s-video cable. the part that connects to tv is same as that of any dvd players cable. surprisingly there's no connection sign in software part.
[07:05] <Rohit_kgec> blackbutterfly_,  i have a s-video cable. the part that connects to tv is same as that of any dvd players cable. surprisingly there's no connection sign in software part.
[07:05] <racecar56> i gotta go, bye
[07:06] <ottoshmidt> excuse me, does Accessibility Login Sound use Pulseaudio or Alsa drive?
[07:06] <jacoblyles> I have 300 MB of programs listed in my system monitor, but there is 1.7 GB in use. Why is this?
[07:06] <scarlet> hi all.
[07:06] <scarlet> any1 know how to add lx 800 on xubuntu jaunty?
[07:07] <Wortman> is there an ease of access tool for Ubuntu for us synesthetes?
[07:07] <goodnet5> ae
[07:07] <jacoblyles> I would prefer to have my 1.4 GB back
[07:07] <sacarlson> jacoblyles: maybe .trash or package cashe?
[07:07] <Rohit_kgec> blackbutterfly_, hello?
[07:07] <jacoblyles> sacarlson: hmmm, I'll take a look
[07:07] <chuck_> ottoshmidt: it uses esound deamon
[07:08] <ottoshmidt> chuck_, and should it conflict with pulseaudio?
[07:08] <scarlet> has try googling but no answer
[07:09] <DivePeak> Linux noob looking for some help setting up iSCSI enterprise target (I get part way through the Wiki instructions, and 'make' terminates with an error) Help? Please? :)
[07:09] <chuck_> ottoshmidt: everything conflicts with pulseaudio, but no it should not
[07:10] <chetnick> DivePeak: i guess you are missing some libraries? What are the errors, pastebin them.
[07:10] <ottoshmidt> chuck_, I mean when I have login sounds on, no other sound works when logged in
[07:11] <jacoblyles> sacarlson: I cleared the package cache, system monitor still reports 1.7 GB of RAM used despite only 300 MB of processes listed
[07:11] <jacoblyles> not sure where .trash is
[07:11] <jacoblyles> usually I reboot when it does this, seems so Windows-ish
[07:11] <ottoshmidt> chuck_, but when I Kill Process Pulseaudio and reload everything works
[07:11] <sacarlson>  jacoblyles: oh ram sorry is that when you run top
[07:12] <DivePeak> @chetnick: I have installed the libraries libssl-dev, build-essentials, and linux-headers-*...
[07:12] <jacoblyles> sarcarlson: I'll try that, was just looking at system monitor. Is system monitor incomplete?
[07:12] <Reticenti> I just installed ubuntu, and everything keeps on freezing, I think it has something to do with the wacom tablet setting (i'm on a talblet laptop), but the xorg.conf file doesn't show anything for it, any help?
[07:13] <rac_> hello everyone. I have a hopefully easy question... I just installed ubuntu on this computer, but my graphics card wasn't detected and I can only go up to 800x600. I have an integrated graphics card on a asrock K8NF6G-VSTA mobo. could someone please help me?
[07:13] <DivePeak> Then I get:

[07:13] <Rohit_kgec>  I want to connect s video out port of my laptop to the TV. i have the convertor (cable):  4 pin s-video to 3 RCA input. can someone help me?
[07:13] <sacarlson>  jacoblyles:  system monitor I'm not sure I always use top to see what is using ram mem
[07:14] <jacoblyles> sacarlson: it's weird. It's reporting   Mem:   2579880k total,  2373700k used,   206180k free. But the top 10 processes or so add up to less than 10% in the  %MEM column, and the rest are trivial
[07:14] <jacoblyles> there seems to be some phantom RAM sink
[07:15] <chetnick> did anybody tried XEN? i've been using VMWare Workstation for few years know, i am wondering is it worth of changing?
[07:15] <karant> hello, i am fairly new to Linux/Ubuntu, after upgrading from hardy to jaunty, firefox can no longer connect to the internet, wget inside console works just fine and i can also ping from console without problems, can someone please point me in the right direction? i am using coLinux on Vista, so it is using slirp to connect to the internet
[07:15] <sacarlson>  jacoblyles: sort it and see what is using the most
[07:16] <peaches> sacarlson: what are the first 3 characters of that message before "jacoblyles" ? i think my irc client is screwing up or something
[07:16] <PLyTheMan> should I be worried that there's a user "mark" on my computer when I never put it there?
[07:17] <schwenke> chetnick: depends what you're trying to do.  i don't use xen but i have good success with kvm... however, you want to setup virtual machines using virt-manager
[07:17] <chuck_> ottoshmidt: I do not use Pulse so cannot help you to much you might try to disablt the system sounds and see if that helps
[07:17] <chetnick> PLyTheMan: Dude, you should be worried.
[07:17] <chuck_> disable
[07:17] <jacoblyles> sacarlson: not sure how to sort it, top seems to be updating itself every few seconds. The highest memory use process I can see is using 3.7%  in the %MEM column, and the total of that column is about 10% for all processes listed, yet 80% of my memory is listed as "used"
[07:17] <jacoblyles> I believe the highest memory process is my flash player
[07:17] <jacoblyles> which isn't taking up very much memory
[07:18] <schwenke> PLyTheMan: in a terminal, what does "id mark" show?  wondering if it is a strange system account...
[07:18] <PLyTheMan> chetnick: maybe its related to why my laptop has been running like shit lately
[07:18] <sacarlson>  jacoblyles:  type h for help
[07:18] <chetnick> PLyTheMan: very posible, come on on private.
[07:18] <sacarlson>  jacoblyles: I think it's the < and > to move the sort one colme one way or the other
[07:18] <valentinex> hi anybody here using ubuntu 9.04 and knows about manual partitions?
[07:18] <DivePeak> Ummm... is this what I was meant to do to avoid the flood? http://paste.ubuntu.com/165892/
[07:19] <PLyTheMan> uid=1001(mark) gid=1001(mark) groups=1001(mark)
[07:19] <jacoblyles> sacarlson: beautiful
[07:19] <jacoblyles> that solves it
[07:19] <schwenke> PLyTheMan: looks like a user account rather than a system account
[07:19] <P2> Hello Guys. Need your expertise. Recently installed ubuntu 9.04 in T60. After that I am unable to start my firefox. Firefox is complaining an error saying permission denied. But it works through sudo /usr/bin/firefox command from prompt. Your advise please.
[07:19] <schwenke> PLyTheMan: lastlog -u mark
[07:19] <valentinex> with auto partitions it was taking 6GB, now i want manual partitions how to set ? i shall set 500mb swap, how much root and ext4 ?
[07:20] <schwenke> PLyTheMan: that'll tell you about logins from that user
[07:20] <jacoblyles> sacarlson: don't know why system monitor won't list the culprit
[07:20] <jacoblyles> but top will
[07:20] <jacoblyles> weird
[07:20] <P2> Failed to execute child process "firefox" (Permission denied) this is the error, i got when i start firefox from u9.04
[07:20] <EdgEy> valentinex with 6gb you should probably set /home / to the same partition
[07:20] <karant> not sure what the problem is, terminal can ping and wget everything fine but administration > network tools > ping cannot reach anything
[07:21] <Elone> question: can i have a machine doing loggings on connections , but i don't want the HDD keep on spinning all the time, is there is away to cache the data on ram and flush it like once a day to the disk? like setting a very large buffer and disable write thru?
[07:21] <schwenke> PLyTheMan: but if your machine has been broken into, then the culprit might have cleaned up after themselves
[07:21] <blind> I need some help with setting up dual monitors. I'm using one nVidia card and the integrated intel card. I'm using 8.10
[07:21] <PLyTheMan> schwenke: never logged in
[07:21] <sacarlson> jacoblyle: so what was it that used all the mem?
[07:21] <peaches> jacoblyles:
[07:21] <valentinex> EdgEy: ext 4 home to 6GB ? ok and how much root? root can also be setted to ext4?
[07:21] <rac_> everyone: I have never had to deal with an integrated graphics card before... so I;m not sure how to get the right driver... and google isn't helping me T_T'
[07:21] <Boohbah> P2: sudo chmod a+x /usr/bin/firefox
[07:22] <EdgEy> valentinex, if you only make "/"
[07:22] <EdgEy> and make no "/home" partition
[07:22] <EdgEy> then /home will be on the "/" partition
[07:22] <scarlet> hi all
[07:22] <scarlet> any1 know how to install epson lx 800?
[07:22] <EdgEy> if you have only limited space that is probably better because you won't have "wasted" space that way

[07:23] <schwenke> PLyTheMan: hard to say what might have happened without logging in to your system... and that seems like a bad idea for a lot of reasons...  :-)
[07:23] <Viking667> hey there. I'm trying to figure out how to get my ATI Radeon 9550 detected as dual-head and to use both heads of the card. What do I need to look at?
[07:23] <P2> Boohbah. no luck.
[07:23] <PLyTheMan> haha, fair enough
[07:23] <jacoblyles> sacarlson: a BOINC client doing protein folding for the Rosetta project. Weird that it wouldn't show up on system monitor. I would have changed my preferences on it a long time ago.
[07:23] <valentinex> EdgEy:  "/"  ? "/" will auto set home and root?
[07:23] <chuck_> p2 try this , sudo chown -R your_username:your_user_group /home/yourname/.mozilla/firefox/jw8613g5.default/Cache
[07:23] <Viking667> As in, what does Ubuntu do towards detecting (and configuring) multi-head video cards?
[07:23] <milligan_> I have a file that has a lot of <line1blabla>\n<line2blabla> .. line1 will be different from time to time, but line 2 will always have a word repeating. How can I grep for line 2, but only return the line above? (line 1)
[07:24] <P2> ok chuck.
[07:24] <jacoblyles> sacarlson: makes me not trust the program
[07:24] <EdgEy> valentinex, it will put home and root onto the same one - do you have 6gb total available? or just want 6gb for / ?
[07:24] <Slart> milligan_: use capturing parenthesis
[07:24] <valentinex> EdgEy: i want to set 6gb, have total 10gb will give all 10gb to linux
[07:24] <milligan_> Slart, que? :)
[07:24] <Slart> milligan_: something like (.*)MySpecialWordsHere
[07:25] <milligan_> a regex.
[07:25] <Slart> milligan_: of course
[07:25] <EdgEy> valentinex, i see :) sorry, then make /home 4gb and / 6gb :)
[07:25] <valentinex> EdgEy: and swap? have one GB ram
[07:26] <EdgEy> valentinex, maybe / 5gb and 1gb swap then, 6gb is quite large, unless you really install a lot
[07:26] <EdgEy> my "/" is 28gb and only 2.5gb used hehe
[07:27] <valentinex> EdgEy: when i was at 8.10 my swap was always not used or only used few mb
[07:28] <P2> Chuck no luck
[07:28] <valentinex> EdgEy: coz i do not run heavy things and my system have 1gb ram
[07:28] <mib_a7sy8ese> Hello
[07:30] <valentinex> EdgEy: are u angry? :P
[07:30] <EdgEy> valentinex, no
[07:30] <valentinex> EdgEy: Thanks for help I try if any problem will be back :)
[07:30] <bc> for the shortcut "Volume Up" (and Down) in gnome keyboard shortcuts, when I assign it, what audio device is that affecting? the sound volume doesn't change using that.
[07:30] <EdgEy> :) gl
[07:30] <sacarlson> P2: firefox it's probly a sybolic link you may have to look at what it points to and chmod that
[07:30] <mib_a7sy8ese> I have gotten the x64 Ubuntu installed, however Im new to it, and trying to get me nvidia card to use the visual effects. It fails to load the driver and when i try to us4e the Synaptic manager im told  sudo does not allow running it as root.....
[07:30] <mib_a7sy8ese> any suggestions?
[07:31] <valentinex> EdgEy: gl means get lost? :(
[07:31] <EdgEy> good luck
[07:31] <bc> mib_a7sy8ese: are you using sudo or trying to launch synaptic from a root shell?
[07:32] <ruser> so has anyone gotten  ati x1400 working with  direct rendering and  having  compiz with propriateory driver under jaunty?
[07:32] <mib_a7sy8ese> Nope im in the GUI, and when i try to run it, its asking for a password, if I use My account (not root) it tells me i am root,. same if I use the root password
[07:33] <mib_a7sy8ese> no option to tell it a username
[07:33] <bc> mib_a7sy8ese: open terminal and type -> id (what number beside uid do you see?)
[07:33] <sacarlson> mib_a7sy8ese:  oh ya can't you login to the user you have setup as admin?
[07:33] <mib_a7sy8ese> I cant log on as root, it wont let me, and some of the system setting will only work when logged in as root, what kind of crap is that? lol
[07:34] <sacarlson> mib_a7sy8ese: login adminname
[07:34] <Slart> mib_a7sy8ese: don't log on as root.. there's no need.. use sudo ... !root and !sudo for more info
[07:34] <mib_a7sy8ese> GUID=1000(mark) groups=1000(mark)
[07:34] <bc> mib_a7sy8ese: you have done something strange then. i dont know what.
[07:34] <mib_a7sy8ese> I did not log in as root
[07:34] <mib_a7sy8ese> i logged in as mark
[07:35] <mib_a7sy8ese> it would not let me use root
[07:35] <bc> mib_a7sy8ese: open a terminal and type sudo synaptic (or just use apt-get)
[07:35] <sacarlson> mib_a7sy8ese: he seems to have created a new user and loged into that.  new users default to not have admin privlige
[07:35] <mib_a7sy8ese> I did use adduser to make the mark account
[07:35] <P2> Sacarlson no luck
[07:35] <Slart> !root | mib_a7sy8ese
[07:35] <Slart> !sudo | mib_a7sy8ese
[07:35] <mib_a7sy8ese> sudo synaptic
[07:36] <mib_a7sy8ese> mark is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.
[07:36] <mib_a7sy8ese> LOL
[07:36] <bc> mib_a7sy8ese: is mark in the admin group? :)
[07:36] <sacarlson> P2: ls -l /usr/bin/firefox
[07:36] <bc> mib_a7sy8ese: find out with terminal -> groups
[07:36] <ruser> mib_a7sy8ese:  ouch, looks like he is not in sudoers. boot into recovery mode add him into the admin group
[07:36] <mib_a7sy8ese> I tried to open users/group but again no permissions lol
[07:36] <P2> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 2009-05-07 11:19 /usr/bin/firefox -> firefox-3.0
[07:36] <mib_a7sy8ese> can it be done from console?
[07:36] <bc> mib_a7sy8ese: boot in 'safe mode' and add mark to group admin
[07:36] <ruser> mib_a7sy8ese:  yes
[07:37] <bc> mib_a7sy8ese: or maybe use telinit, but im not sure if that requires root. probably.
[07:37] <mib_a7sy8ese> Ok so how do i do it in the console... I am sorry I am new to Linux but I lothe Microsoft..

[07:38] <bebin> hi everyone i upgraded for ubuntu 8.10 to ubuntu 9.04 maya 2009 worked fine in 8.10 but in ubuntu9.04 Maya gets `stuck' in an input mode like you were holding down a key on the keyboard continuously...is there any solution
[07:38] <sacarlson> mib_a7sy8ese: login to that
[07:38] <ruser> lol
[07:38] <bc> mib_a7sy8ese: adduser USER GROUP
[07:39] <mib_a7sy8ese> I tried it wont let me
[07:39] <ruser> ScarEye:  please dont' mislead
[07:39] <TTxT> anybody has a partial upgrade (update notifier) in jaunty? distribution upgrade: I have done a clean jaunty install and now the update notifier is asking me for a distribution upgrade
[07:39] <bc> mib_a7sy8ese: e.g. adduser USER admin
[07:39] <ruser> sacarlson: please don't mislead
[07:39] <sacarlson> mib_a7sy8ese: oh root ok
[07:39] <ruser> ScarEye:  sorry wrong person
[07:39] <sacarlson> mib_a7sy8ese: can't he just from the terminal type >login root ?
[07:40] <bc> for the shortcut "Volume Up" (and Down) in gnome keyboard shortcuts, when I assign it, what audio device is that affecting? the sound volume doesn't change using that.
[07:40] <Slart> TTxT: well.. there are lots of updates.. it isn't surprising to get some updates on a newly installed system
[07:40] <sacarlson> mib_a7sy8ese: ya add your guy to the admin group sorry
[07:40] <ruser> he rebooted
[07:40] <ruser> also,   he could have just  su -
[07:41] <TTxT> Slart: but a distribution upgrade?
[07:41] <Slart> TTxT: nope.. that shouldn't be there.. does it want to upgrade to 9.10?
[07:41] <bc> ruser: depends on his shadow file i guess
[07:41] <karant> does anyone know why would wget work but ping fail in terminal?
[07:41] <sonali> Hi guys! I can run only 1 app at a time that has to access the system sound...could there be a resolution for this?
[07:42] <bc> karant: karant what does ping say?
[07:42] <ruser> karant:  maybe your ISP/firewall not letting ICMP packets out
[07:42] <karant> bc: 100% packet loss
[07:42] <Dday> WHat's a good text editor?
[07:42] <Slart> Dday: gedit
[07:42] <karant> wget and apt-get works like perfectly fine
[07:42] <TTxT> Slart: it says Not all updates can be installed, run a partial upgrade to install  as many updates as possible. ....
[07:43] <bc> karant: install hping instead maybe
[07:43] <bc> Dday: i like ed myself
[07:43] <karant> bc: this only happened after i upgraded to 9.04
[07:43] <Slart> TTxT: hmm.. never seen that on a fresh system.. I guess it could happen if you upgraded and aborted half way through
[07:43] <bc> karant: try ping6
[07:43] <mib_rwos94i1> TY TY adduser mark admin worked
[07:43] <Dday> What's ED?
[07:44] <chuck_> sonali: it has to do with dmixing the channels there is a how to on the forums that might help you. (ubuntu)
[07:44] <bc> Dday: the standard text editor
[07:44] <TTxT> Slart: its a fresh system
[07:44] <Dday> Ahh
[07:44] <quibbler> TTxT-> i had that also this morning. it went fine for me .i believe it is because it wants to update the kernel.
[07:44] <karant> bc: says unknown host
[07:44] <sonali> chuck_: can you point me to the same?
[07:45] <mgmuscari> anybody here know much about java applets?
[07:45] <TTxT> quibbler: never seen this kind of message on a kernel update... its really strange
[07:45] <mgmuscari> embedded in browsers
[07:45] <karant> bc: i am assuming that internet connection is there, since wget works and so does apt-get...
[07:45] <bc> karant: try traceroute and see if that even works
[07:45] <karant> bc: btw, i am using coLinux
[07:45] <TTxT> quibbler: so, its fine to run this upgrades?
[07:45] <snizwickit_> with wget, how can you specify where a file gets downloaded to?
[07:45] <bc> karant: tell me why you want to use ping
[07:45] <sonali> mgmuscari: what do you want to know?
[07:45] <bc> Dday: http://www.gnu.org/fun/jokes/ed.msg.html
[07:46] <quibbler> TTxT-> i haven't either , but i have a complete backup si i figured try it. it went fine.
[07:46] <karant> bc: well, because it seems inside gnome (or better put, outside terminal) i cannot connect to the internet via firefox for example, also system > administration > network tools fails to ping as well
[07:47] <karant> bc: but i can wget in terminal just fine :/
[07:47] <Dday> Rofl bc
[07:47] <mutex_> Hello all, I'm testing irssi client )
[07:47] <bc> karant: people aren't going to want to support coLinux here. check your firewall, iptables -L -n, or maybe something on your network is blocking icmp echo
[07:47] <bc> Dday: :D
[07:47] <karant> bc: ok...thanks for your help
[07:48] <TTxT> quibbler: i'll wait a day or 2 to do that upgrade
[07:48] <quibbler> TTxT-> you are going to have to reboot after.
[07:48] <karant> i don't believe colinux is the problem since i can wget in terminal, i think i am missing something in ubuntu desktop settings
[07:48] <rubydiamond> hi guys..
[07:48] <rubydiamond> looks like my crontab does not work
[07:48] <rubydiamond> though I have added it correctly
[07:48] <chuck_> sonali: see if this helps http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=32063
[07:49] <karant> bc: under system > preferences > network connections, i don't have anything there, is that normal?
[07:49] <quibbler> TTxT-> make a system backup and if anything goes wrong ..set it back
[07:49] <sonali> chuck_: thanks for your help, will take a look at that
[07:49] <bc> karant: nothing under wired or wireless?!
[07:49] <sacarlson> karant: I can't ping hotmail.com eather but they are there maybe the server side is blocking the ping echo
[07:49] <karant> bc: nothing
[07:50] <karant> bc: all tabs are completely blank
[07:50] <sonali> karant: see if you can ping localhost
[07:50] <bc> karant: check /etc/network/interfaces
[07:50] <sonali> karant: have you tried to ping www.google.com?
[07:50] <karant> sonali: yes, no problem that worked
[07:51] <karant> sonali: yes, ping www.google.com has 100% packet loss
[07:51] <TTxT> quibbler: how?
[07:51] <sonali> can you paste the output when you ping www.google.com here?
[07:51] <bc> karant: you said you can get out to the net, assuming you aren't on that system now? :D
[07:51] <sacarlson> sonali: ya google.com is pingable
[07:51] <karant> bc: i am on vista now
[07:51] <sonali> sacarlson: yea that's why I asked
[07:51] <bc> karant: so your linux system can't connect to the internet then, it's beyond ping right?
[07:51] <karant> sonali: one second
[07:52] <karant> bc: if that was the case, wget wouldn't work in terminal, correct?
[07:52] <quibbler> TTxT->  i use clonezilla and set the backup on an external drive
[07:52] <sonali> karant: I assume you are not behind a proxy>
[07:52] <karant> i can wget www.google.com no problem
[07:52] <karant> sonali: no, no proxy here
[07:52] <bc> karant: wget from a non-local IP?
[07:52] <TTxT> quibbler: thanks
[07:52] <bc> karant: ahhh
[07:52] <karant> bc: yes
[07:52] <sonali> karant: please paste the output of ping www.google.com here, that should help
[07:52] <quibbler> TTxT-> no problem
[07:53] <bc> karant: what are you trying to ping?
[07:53] <karant> sonali: 4 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 3000ms
[07:53] <sonali> no I want the complete output
[07:53] <sonali> as in, is it able to resolve www.google.com ?
[07:53] <karant> bc: i've tried www.google.com, ubuntu.com, a number of site
[07:53] <mib_jbrkpo82> Im back, got the nvidia drivers working, dual view and the extra visual effects.. very cool stuff
[07:53] <bc> karant: any output from `host ubuntu.com`?
[07:53] <bc> mib_jbrkpo82: indeed
[07:54] <sonali> karant: is ping able to resolve the ip address of www.google.com?
[07:54] <karant> sonali: hmm, sorry i can't say
[07:54] <mutex_> )
[07:54] <karant> for sure that is
[07:54] <mib_jbrkpo82> once i added mark to admin.. although the nvidia configuration panel would not let me make a backup of the x config file.. strnge
[07:54] <mutex_> use dig google.com
[07:54] <karant> sonali: there is nothing else in ouput of ping besides "PING www.1.google.com (74...)"
[07:55] <sonali> karant: just check the output, if it has an ip within brackets with www.google.com
[07:55] <karant> sonali: i guess that means it did resolve it
[07:55] <sonali> karant: yes
[07:55] <sonali> karant: do you have a firewall then?
[07:55] <bc> karant: ping <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:55] <sonali> maybe your incoming traffic is being blocked
[07:55] <karant> bc: host ubuntu.com returns ubuntu.com has address 91...
[07:55] <mib_jbrkpo82> Can an ntfs drive be mounted and read from ubuntu?
[07:55] <bc> karant: nevermind
[07:56] <sonali> karant: perhaps only ICMP incoming is being blocked or something
[07:56] <bc> karant: (on the ping 91.x thing)
[07:56] <Soren_> !pastebin
[07:56] <karant> bc: kk
[07:56] <blind> mib_jbrkpo82: yes
[07:56] <bc> sonali: he got a response from google though
[07:56] <karant> sonali: well, as far as firewall, i do have it on my vista machine
[07:56] <karant> sonali: so maybe thats where the problem is
[07:57] <sonali> karant: I would think so
[07:57] <bc> karant: is vista machine your network gateway?
[07:57] <karant> sonali: although i did not have this issue until i upgraded to from 6.06 to 9.04
[07:57] <karant> bc: yes, ubuntu communicates with the web via the host OS (vista) via slirp
[07:57] <mib_jbrkpo82> Where would I find the utility to mount the sata drive?
[07:57] <arvind_khadri> !samba | arvind_khadri
[07:57] <karant> bc: and as I mentioned that works perfectly fine for wget and apt-get, etc
[07:57] <sonali> karant: well it depends, sometimes some firewalls need to update their firewall rules, even when an application is updated, like if firefox is updated
[07:58] <karant> bc: just not ping and firefox
[07:58] <karant> sonali: i see your point
[07:58] <bc> karant: are you using http or ftp sources in apt?
[07:58] <karant> bc: http
[07:59] <map7> I'm getting an error: 'error exit status 2' when I try and install anything on my system can anyone help?
[07:59] <sonali> map7: how are you trying to install anything? apt-get ?
[08:00] <map7> yes apt-get
[08:00] <map7> I've also tried: sudo apt-get install -f emacs-goodies-el
[08:00] <bc> karant: is default route in `route -n` the IP of the vista machine?
[08:00] <karant> bc: it probably is the firewall, but the fact that network connections in ubuntu is completely blank also doesnt seem right
[08:00] <mutex_> jj
[08:01] <reid> anyone here use fluxbuntu?
[08:01] <bc> karant: the easy way is to just ifconfig -a
[08:01] <karant> bc: hmm, is that the first line in route -n output?
[08:01] <bc> karant: the line with <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:01] <map7> sonali here is the error http://pastie.org/470900
[08:01] <mib_jbrkpo82> any way to turn SUDO off..?
[08:02] <Kerrick> Has anybody tried using 3D acceleration in VirtualBox 2.2.2 with Ubuntu 9.04?
[08:02] <Kerrick> Chris Pirillo did it the other day, but I can't get it to work.

[08:04] <FrozenFire> Is there a way for an administrator to reset appearance settings for a non-admin account? Somehow, one of my clients managed to completely mess up their appearance settings so that everything is gigantic, mostly off-screen.
[08:04] <karant> bc: under networking
[08:04] <mib_jbrkpo82> i just want to be able to install what i need without being asked for a password it doesnt accept... sudo dpkg --configure -a = mark is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.
[08:04] <FrozenFire> It's completely b0rked.
[08:04] <sonali> map7: this error was when you typed sudo dpkg --configure -a ?
[08:04] <Esde[irssi]> hi all
[08:05] <mib_jbrkpo82> yes
[08:05] <Toshibi> Hi
[08:05] <map7> sonali yes
[08:05] <karant> bc: i am pretty sure <IP_ADDRESS> is not the vist machine...i am sorry i know its totally a colinux thing
[08:05] <bc> karant: try setting the default gateway (route) in ubuntu to the same IP that your vista machine uses as its gateway, if ubuntu is running inside vista as a host os. that may work, im not sure.
[08:05] <sonali> map7: seems like something is wrong with the package perl-doc
[08:06] <sonali> map7: perhaps you can try removing it, or reinstalling it?
[08:06] <bc> karant: i dont know your network set up, but if you know the ip of your router, try making the default route the ip of your router.
[08:06] <Toshibi> perl-doc? Isn't that just the documentation?
[08:06] <karant> bc: <IP_ADDRESS> is the network specified under eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces
[08:06] <sonali> Toshibi: yes
[08:06] <Esde[irssi]> i got the error Try(0,0) FAT32 NO WUBILDR Try(0,1)NTFS5 no wubildr Try(hd0,2) Invalid or Null Try(0,3) Invalid or Null Error: Cannot Find GRLDR in all devices..

[08:06] <bc> karant: can you pastebin the contents of interfaces?
[08:06] <Toshibi> bc: DHCP makes life easier :D
[08:06] <map7> sonali I just removed perl-doc with a -f and it's all working again, thanks for the help
[08:06] <karant> bc: one sec
[08:06] <sonali> map7: great

[08:07] <rubydiamond> hi guys..
[08:07] <rubydiamond> looks like my crontab does not work
[08:07] <rubydiamond> though I have added it correctly
[08:07] <Guest95052> UBUNTU ROCKS!!
[08:07] <bc> Toshibi: he's having a different problem
[08:07] <mib_jbrkpo82> mark was added to the admin group
[08:07] <Guest95052> sry i had to get it outta me
[08:07] <Toshibi> bc: What's the scope of the problem? I may be able to help. I came in in the middle.
[08:07] <sonali> Guest95052: well you're right :0
[08:07] <sonali> Guest95052: :)
[08:07] <bc> Toshibi: http://colinux.wikia.com/wiki/Getting_Started_with_coLinux_-_Long_manual
[08:08] <Guest95052> yay! :)
[08:08] <sacarlson> mib_jbrkpo82:  oh mark is already in the admin group but still can't do sudo su
[08:08] <mib_jbrkpo82> mark@development:~$ su Password:  root@development:/home/mark# adduser mark admin The user `mark' is already a member of `admin'.

[08:08] <vegombrei> hi .. how do i get gimp to save image as jpg? everytime i try it saves it as .xcf .. anyone have a fix for this?
[08:08] <angelete2> hi
[08:09] <quibbler> Guest95052-> it's understandable your joy, however don't shout, it may scare some of the people here!
[08:09] <sacarlson> mib_jbrkpo82:  you want mark to not require a password when sudo is used?
[08:09] <indus> hi
[08:09] <karant> bc: http://www.pastie.org/470905
[08:09] <Toshibi> sonali: If apt-get and wget and so on work then he is routing. Unable to ping? Has he tried to ping as a sudoer?
[08:09] <arvind_khadri> ikonia: there?
[08:09] <mib_jbrkpo82> yes...
[08:09] <vegombrei> angelete2: hi
[08:09] <karant> bc: i know eth0 is responsible for internet and eth1 is responsible for internal communication between vista nd linux (vnc for example)
[08:09] <sonali> vegombrei: in the save as screen, select JPG in the drop down and save as a .jpg
[08:09] <vegombrei> indus: hi
[08:09] <mib_jbrkpo82> im trying to install codex's for video and when asked for the root pasword I give it but im still denied, however in the console I can su with it fine
[08:10] <bc> karant: are you sure eth0 is the right one? if so, can you ping <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:10] <Esde[irssi]> i got the error Try(0,0) FAT32 NO WUBILDR Try(0,1)NTFS5 no wubildr Try(hd0,2) Invalid or Null Try(0,3) Invalid or Null Error: Cannot Find GRLDR in all devices.. How do i fix this?
[08:10] <sonali> Toshibi: I am not sure about that
[08:10] <vegombrei> sonali: i did that ... still saves as .xcf
[08:10] <vegombrei> sonali: is there a plug-in for jpgs?
[08:10] <Toshibi> sonali: Ahhh, I see what's going on. Hmmm....
[08:10] <Esde[irssi]> do i need to post in the forums?
[08:10] <mib_jbrkpo82> no way to just remove sudo?
[08:10] <sonali> vegombrei: are you specifying .jpg when you save the image in the name?
[08:10] <mib_jbrkpo82> this tyhing is retarded
[08:11] <mib_jbrkpo82> thing8
[08:11] <mib_jbrkpo82> thing*
[08:11] <angelete2> is it possible to upgrade directly from 7.10 to 9 ??
[08:11] <sonali> Esde[irssi]: sorry, but I do not know about that error, perhaps forum also is a good idea
[08:11] <bc> karant: also, in vista command line, what does ipconfig /all tell you is the 'default gateway'?
[08:11] <indus> angelete2: no
[08:11] <vegombrei> sonali: yes, thats the reason im here
[08:11] <sonali> angelete2: no recommended either
[08:11] <karant> bc: yes, i can ping <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:11] <crashatau> angelete2: Might be possible, but not a good idea.
[08:11] <Esde[irssi]> thanks sonali
[08:12] <angelete2> thanks
[08:12] <sonali> Esde[irssi]: no problem
[08:12] <tony__> hello
[08:12] <Toshibi> karant: Have you tried doing a file transfer from Vista to Ubuntu or vica versa?
[08:12] <bc> karant: <bc> karant: also, in vista command line, what does ipconfig /all tell you is the 'default gateway'?
[08:12] <crashatau> Wow, is this a Vista channel ?
[08:12]  * crashatau looks at channel name
[08:12] <Hymnosis> lol
[08:12] <sonali> vegombrei: I am not sure of your problem then...maybe you should ask it again
[08:13] <frankie_> hola
[08:13] <mib_jbrkpo82> Ok so... Sudo will not accept my root password but su will in the console.. i cant log in as root, and my user account mark is in the admin group but sido wont recognize it as an admin and requires the root password to modify the system but it rejects the password?
[08:13] <karant> bc: <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:13] <sonali> crashatau: are you alright ?
[08:13] <mib_jbrkpo82> And I thought Vista was messed up
[08:13] <karant> Toshibi: no, i haven't gotten to actually transferring the files between 2 OSs
[08:13] <vegombrei> hi .. how do i get gimp to save image as jpg? everytime i try it saves it as .xcf .. anyone have a fix for this?
[08:13] <sonali> mib_jbrkpo82: sudo accepts your password, not the root password
[08:13] <bc> karant: looks like 10 net has no route to 192.168
[08:13] <crashatau> sonali not really, I'm trying to recover an 8TB xfs filesystem.
[08:13] <bc> karant: unless it shows the route in route -n
[08:14] <karant> bc: let me pastie everything that route -n returns
[08:14] <mib_jbrkpo82> no sudo tells me that my admin account password is not able to modify system settings even though it is in the admin group
[08:14] <angelete2> and upgrade from 7.10 to 8.10?
[08:14] <Hymnosis> sudo passwd
[08:14] <angelete2> or should i upgrade 7.10-8.04-8.10-9.04?
[08:14] <sacarlson> mib_jbrkpo82: if mark is admin use his password
[08:14] <mib_jbrkpo82> I typed in the mark password, and sudo tells me this : Failed to run /usr/sbin/synaptic as user root
[08:14] <sonali> angelete2: I would rather suggest you to download the cd of 9.04 and install it instead of doing all that
[08:14] <mib_jbrkpo82> Mark is not root
[08:15] <Toshibi> karant: What exactly are you trying to accomplish. The way you're doing things seems a bit....difficult....maybe we could come up with an easier way to do it.
[08:15] <mib_jbrkpo82> mark and root have very different passwords
[08:15] <karant> bc: http://www.pastie.org/470910
[08:15] <sonali> mib_jbrkpo82: perhaps you have messed up something in root's permissions?
[08:15] <sacarlson> mib_jbrkpo82: no but mark if set to admin group should be setup in sudoer
[08:15] <mib_jbrkpo82> LOL all I am trying to do is install divx codex's to watch a video lol
[08:15] <karant> bc: as i mentioned, this setup worked in ubuntu 6.06 :/
[08:15] <mib_jbrkpo82> apparently it is not
[08:16] <karant> bc: all i did is upgrade 6.06 > 8.04 > 8.10 > 9.04
[08:16] <sonali> mib_jbrkpo82: have you tried apt-get ?
[08:16] <Toshibi> mib_jbrkpo82: have you tried installing VLC player?
[08:16] <mib_jbrkpo82> i did adduser mark admin
[08:16] <bc> karant: change your gateway in the interfaces file to <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:16] <sonali> mib_jbrkpo82: I would recommend VLC too
[08:16] <sacarlson> mib_jbrkpo82: maybe you will have to login to root and look at sudoer and find out what the problem is
[08:16] <karant> bc: for eth1?
[08:16] <boringpackets> someone should go around emailing everyone who left a dapper drake tutorial and ask them to update or remove it
[08:16] <boringpackets> there are so many dapper tutorials
[08:16] <mib_jbrkpo82> Im not expierenced enough to look at sudoer and know what im looking at
[08:17] <bc> karant: eth0, but I have no idea what or where <IP_ADDRESS> is
[08:17] <indus> mib_jbrkpo82: then dont do it
[08:17] <mib_jbrkpo82> <-- linux n00b
[08:17] <bc> karant: try it for eth0
[08:17] <sacarlson> mib_jbrkpo82: the sudoer file is at /etc/sudoer  I think
[08:17] <indus> mib_jbrkpo82: tell me what does the terminal prompt tell u? does it have a $ sign?
[08:17] <sonali> mib_jbrkpo82: that's alright, have you tried using the Add/Remove programms section? or Synaptic Package Manager ?
[08:17] <bc> karant: plus I dont know why apt-get works but nothing else does
[08:17] <Toshibi>  mib_jbrkpo82: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=450590

[08:19] <vegombrei> sonali: me too ... mumbai .. what about you?
[08:19] <Toshibi> US of Freakin' A here!
[08:19] <sonali> vegombrei: well i am in Mumbai as of now, but work in bangalore for most part, and Sonali isn't my name
[08:19] <dayo> Nigeria
[08:19] <indus> mib_jbrkpo82: like someone said> root and system are two diferent passwords
[08:20] <sonali> vegombrei: this is my sis laptop, that's her name :)
[08:20] <mib_jbrkpo82> To get this to operate correctly, I need to do some python for linux
[08:20] <karant> bc: check this out - http://www.pastie.org/470913
[08:20] <mib_jbrkpo82> in any event mark is obviously not set up correctly
[08:20] <indus> mib_jbrkpo82: yes remove and recreate it
[08:20] <indus> userdel
[08:21] <vegombrei> sonali: nice to know so many indians are using linux
[08:21] <sonali> indus: be careful in guding him :)
[08:21] <mib_jbrkpo82> so i know adduser, what do i use to remove user?
[08:21] <indus> mib_jbrkpo82: i suggest you use a gui to create or remove users its damn easy
[08:21] <sonali> vegombrei: ubuntu has changed the face of linux
[08:21] <dayo> mib_jbrkpo82: userdel
[08:21] <bc> karant: I guess <IP_ADDRESS> must be some virtual thing
[08:21] <mib_jbrkpo82> ok 1 sec

[08:22] <karant> bc: i guess, but clearly there is an issue, since networking restart is throwing errors
[08:22] <dayo> mib_jbrkpo82: usually, u'll want   userdel -r
[08:22] <mib_jbrkpo82> Ill make another account to log into
[08:22] <bc> can you ping <IP_ADDRESS>?
[08:22] <bc> karant: can you ping <IP_ADDRESS> after you switch the gateway back to <IP_ADDRESS>?
[08:22] <johanhenkens> Hey everyone, I was hoping to find some help setting up a cron job to run a wine program every 30 minutes. I've made a shell script that works fine by itself, but I can't get cron to actually execute it. The syslog shows cron job happening and what the CMD is supposed to be, but nothing happens, not even when I use a test script to just print to a file!
[08:22] <sonali> karant: maybe you should try physically disconnecting and reconnecting to the network
[08:23] <mib_jbrkpo82> ill brb
[08:23] <Slart> johanhenkens: pastebin the script and crontab entry
[08:23] <dayo> johanhenkens: is the script executable?
[08:23] <Slart> !pastebin | johanhenkens
[08:23] <karant> bc: no, just tried that, but i can ping <IP_ADDRESS>, that's the static ip of vista OS in the eth1 connection
[08:23] <sonali> karant: oh your using static IPs ?
[08:23] <bc> karant: hmm I'm guessing you've disabled the firewall, right?
[08:23] <karant> sonali: yes
[08:24] <sonali> karant: Vista has how many interfaces and to which are you connected /
[08:24] <sacarlson> johanhenkens:  I think I read about a bug put an extra line or line feed between cron jobs in crontab

[08:24] <karant> bc: yes, doesn't help
[08:24] <reid> hey, anyone able to tell me real fast how to put a directory via ftp?
[08:24] <sonali> ha1331: what's wrong with your current apache2 package?
[08:24] <Slart> ha1331: sudo apt-get install --reinstall apache2 might work
[08:25] <reid> tells me not a plain file, and cant find an option in 'man ftp'
[08:25] <bc> karant: do you actually have two network interfaces in vista?
[08:25] <sonali> ha1331: you could do sudo apt-get reinstall apache2 as well
[08:25] <vegombrei> sonali: true, but still windows tops out as the ultimate pc for dummies
[08:25] <karant> sonali: vista has 2 network connections, one to the internet and one to linux via static ips
[08:25] <karant> bc: yes
[08:25] <dayo> also for pasting, u guys might want to have a look at pastebinit.   sudo aptitude install pastebinit
[08:25] <sonali> vegombrei: things are changing :)
[08:25] <ha1331> sonali have done that. Doesn't re-create the contents of /etc/apache
[08:25] <johanhenkens> slart: http://paste.ubuntu.com/165920/
[08:25] <dayo> or aptitude show pastebinit
[08:26] <karant> bc: and again, since wget works, that means i can get out to the internet :)
[08:26] <sonali> ha1331: you should then perhaps remove and install apache2 again
[08:26] <sonali> ha1331: if you have apache installed as well, I reckon you should remove it
[08:26] <karant> bc: check it out - http://www.pastie.org/470914

[08:26] <ha1331> sonali not working that way either, done 4 times by now
[08:26] <sonali> karant: are you sure that vista and your pc comes under the same subnet ?
[08:27] <Slart> johanhenkens: is warden a gui program?
[08:27] <bc> karant: can you wget ubuntu.com or just teh googlez?
[08:27] <karant> sonali: i am not sure :/ but look at wget return - http://www.pastie.org/470914
[08:27] <mib_f1t8oaba> Ok.. Im back, getting the exact same errors with the new username as i did with mark...
[08:27] <dayo> time to get ready for work. later, guys.
[08:27] <Slart> johanhenkens: but nevermind... the echo thingy should work
[08:27] <johanhenkens> Slart: I think it may be, but not even the echo call will print to the file during the cron task
[08:27] <karant> bc: ubuntu works too, look - http://www.pastie.org/470915
[08:27] <indus> mib_f1t8oaba: what errors
[08:27] <sacarlson> Guest6262: I'm not sure but I like wget to download most my stuf,  it can restart if it fails
[08:27] <mib_f1t8oaba> and it forgot the display configuration for mark when i logged back in
[08:28] <bc> karant: yet firefox does not?
[08:28] <mib_f1t8oaba> Sudo wont let me modify anything
[08:28] <karant> bc: exactly
[08:28] <johanhenkens> sacarlson: I read that too, read online to add lines after crontab line, didn't work :(
[08:28] <bc> karant: im crazy proxy cofig in firefox?
[08:28] <Guest6262> sacarlson: thank you
[08:28] <karant> bc: thats why i am still annoying you :)
[08:28] <Slart> johanhenkens:  you might want to define the whole path for the log file you're echoing to.. I'm not sure what the current directory is when you run the crontab
[08:28] <bc> karant: no crazy proxy cofig in firefox?
[08:28] <mib_f1t8oaba> mark is an admin but sudo doesnt recognize the username
[08:28] <karant> bc: its set to no proxy
[08:28] <Slart> johanhenkens: and of course, make sure the script is executable
[08:29] <Guest6262> but wget has gui fron end?
[08:29] <bc> karant: cat /etc/resolv.conf
[08:29] <bc> karant: and if you have lynx or links, try ubuntu.com with one of those

[08:30] <sonali> mib_f1t8oaba: why would you want to do that? if you don't like sudo so much, you could do sudo su and then become root

[08:30] <mib_f1t8oaba> 3 users root mark and dev, mark and dev are part of the admin group
[08:30] <karant> bc: unbelievable, so stupid
[08:30] <karant> on my part that is
[08:30] <Slart> johanhenkens: hmm.. let me try something similar on my computer here
[08:30] <mpontillo> karant: go to about:config and check the value of browser.offline-apps.notify
[08:30] <mib_f1t8oaba> I cant even install the updates without sudo permission
[08:30] <bc> karant: wow that is crazy! lol
[08:30] <karant> mpontillo: you got it work offline was checked
[08:31] <indus> mib_f1t8oaba: does synaptic run fine for you?
[08:31] <karant> bc: although, ping still doesnt work lol
[08:31] <mpontillo> karant:  I bet since you have a "non-standard" coLinux install NetworkManager is not working properly, and it's notifying Firefox that you are offline
[08:31] <bc> karant, mpontillo: ok, im stabbing my eyes out then bed
[08:31] <mib_f1t8oaba> no it also will not run
[08:31] <sonali> karant: lol
[08:31] <johanhenkens> Slart: it seems putting the full log helped!
[08:31] <karant> sonali: no kidding
[08:31] <johanhenkens> Slart: path for the log*
[08:31] <karant> how many IT guys does it take to change a light bulb, right?
[08:31] <indus> mib_f1t8oaba: ok in terminal become root andtype synaptic
[08:31] <bc> karant: icmp might be blocked by whatever machine the gateway is
[08:31] <sonali> karant: rolf
[08:31] <mib_f1t8oaba> 1 sec
[08:31] <johanhenkens> Slart: still need to figure out how to get my other program to run using the cron
[08:32] <bc> karant: vista? o_o
[08:32] <indus> mib_f1t8oaba: sudo su
[08:32] <mib_f1t8oaba> it ran that way
[08:32] <karant> bc: yes :)
[08:32] <indus> mib_f1t8oaba: which way :D
[08:32] <karant> ok guys - bc, sonali , mpontillo - thx for all your help
[08:32] <sonali> karant: mention not :)
[08:32] <mib_f1t8oaba> under SU, it ran from the console line
[08:33] <karant> good night
[08:33] <Slart> johanhenkens: ok, so the echo line works.. then I think I know what is wrong
[08:33] <sonali> mib_f1t8oaba: great so you will not be root
[08:33] <bc> karant: destroyed by the work offline menu
[08:33] <mib_f1t8oaba> but that doesnt change the fact i cant run it as an admin
[08:33] <johanhenkens> Slart: the program wants a gui? It didn't want to run in ssh either
[08:33] <indus> mib_f1t8oaba: maybe you havent set group permissions right
[08:33] <mib_f1t8oaba> I did and SU then it ran
[08:33] <mib_f1t8oaba> I never set anything
[08:33] <mib_f1t8oaba> I just installed this puppy
[08:33] <sonali> mib_f1t8oaba: which puppy?
[08:34] <indus> mib_f1t8oaba: did u install it as mark ?
[08:34] <mib_f1t8oaba> ubuntu
[08:34] <Slart> johanhenkens: when you run a gui program it first checks for an enviroment variable to see what display to use.. cron doesn't know of a gui (it doesn't even need a user to be logged on).. so it doesn't have this variable
[08:34] <sonali> mib_f1t8oaba: once you do sudo su, you become root, then you no longer need sudo as long as you are root
[08:34] <mib_f1t8oaba> I didnt do sudo su
[08:34] <Slart> Johnm: there is another command called wineconsole, I think, that can be used for command line programs
[08:34] <mib_f1t8oaba> I mark@development:~$ su Password:  root@development:/home/mark# synaptic
[08:34] <mib_f1t8oaba> thats what made it run
[08:34] <Jack8312> Hi
[08:34] <sonali> mib_f1t8oaba: you should not be able to use su
[08:35] <sonali> mib_f1t8oaba: su expects the root's password, which you do not know
[08:35] <johanhenkens> !Slart any way to get around that? The program doesn't actually have a gui, and closes after about 1 minute
[08:35] <mib_f1t8oaba> Umm ya I know it lol
[08:35] <Slart> johanhenkens: I think wine in itself is a gui program.. even though you may run some non-gui windows program in the wine enviroment
[08:35] <indus> mib_f1t8oaba: exactly
[08:35] <sonali> mib_f1t8oaba: if you want to be root, you have to do sudo su, not su
[08:35] <mib_f1t8oaba> ok
[08:35] <Slart> johanhenkens: try running your program with "wineconsole" instead of "wine"
[08:35] <Jack8312> Is there a source code of USB modem driver in Ubuntu?
[08:35] <Slart> johanhenkens: if that doesn't work there are other ways
[08:35] <indus> mib_f1t8oaba: there is no root user in ubuntu by default
[08:35]  * bc waves good night
[08:36] <sonali> indus: there is...
[08:36] <mib_f1t8oaba> Ok i typed in sudo su and got no errors or anything just a new prompt
[08:36] <indus> bc: bye
[08:36] <sonali> indus: it is just that its password we do not know
[08:36] <indus> sonali: there isnt :)
[08:36] <sonali> bc: bye!
[08:36] <sonali> indus: bye :)
[08:36] <sonali> indus: but there os
[08:36] <indus> sonali: same thing its disabled
[08:36] <mib_f1t8oaba> and it still will not let me run it from the gui
[08:36] <sonali> indus: you can do sudo su
[08:36] <sonali> indus: and be root
[08:36] <cyrus1> hi
[08:37] <indus> sonali: thats only gives you limited access for some time sudo grants you that privilege
[08:37] <eleanor>  /join #ubuntu-cn
[08:37] <mib_f1t8oaba> [sudo] password for mark:  mark is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.
[08:37] <sonali> indus: the recovery mode also allows you to go to a root shell
[08:37] <indus> sonali: anyways nvm
[08:37] <sonali> mib_f1t8oaba: hmmm
[08:37] <johanhenkens> Slart: nope - http://paste.ubuntu.com/165929/
[08:37] <Slart> !supportroot
[08:37] <sonali> indus: :)
[08:37] <Brack10> how can I refer to different partitions using /dev/sda*/
[08:38] <indus> mib_f1t8oaba: use the command useradd mark
[08:38] <mib_f1t8oaba> Ya im lost
[08:38] <Brack10> /dev/sda1/partition0?
[08:38] <Jack8312> Hello, I'm looking for a USB modem driver for refering purpose, can anyone give me some information?
[08:38] <mib_f1t8oaba> useradd: user mark exists
[08:38] <sonali> Brack10: use the partition editor
[08:38] <indus> mib_f1t8oaba: change password for it
[08:38] <Slart> johanhenkens: ok.. hang on a sec.. I just need to find the right things to type (I forget between the times I need to use it)
[08:38] <sacarlson> mib_f1t8oaba: just create a mark2 account
[08:38] <Brack10> no I mean like....
[08:38] <sonali> Brack10: usually the partitions are named sda2, sda3 etc...
[08:38] <mib_f1t8oaba> i created a dev account
[08:38] <Brack10> oh
[08:39] <indus> mib_f1t8oaba: ya better create new user
[08:39] <sonali> Brack10: it is better to use the partition editor
[08:39] <mib_f1t8oaba> ok
[08:39] <mib_f1t8oaba> I cant sudo su so I have to su
[08:39] <indus> mib_f1t8oaba:are you telling me you cant do a single admin task as mark?
[08:40] <sonali> mib_f1t8oaba: it looks like you are not in the sudoers list
[08:40] <mib_f1t8oaba> Its told me mark is not in the sudoers list
[08:40] <sonali> mib_f1t8oaba: you might have to reboot, go to the recovery boot option, drop as root and add yourself to sudoers
[08:40] <mib_f1t8oaba> how do i add myself to sudores?
[08:40] <mib_f1t8oaba> sudoers
[08:40] <indus> mib_f1t8oaba: dangerous advice
[08:41] <sonali> mib_f1t8oaba: you won't be able to do it from your account, you will have to drop into the root shell through the recovery
[08:41] <indus> if you dont know what you are doing
[08:41] <sonali> mib_f1t8oaba: that is what I think
[08:41] <mib_f1t8oaba> Pico the sudoers file in etc ?
[08:41] <mib_f1t8oaba> Im new to linux not stupid ;)
[08:41] <sonali> mib_f1t8oaba: as i said you won't be able to edit/save that file
[08:41] <mib_f1t8oaba> so basically nothing I can do
[08:42] <sacarlson> mib_f1t8oaba: I think you can if he reboots after edit
[08:42] <sonali> mib_f1t8oaba: you can reboot, go to recovery mode, drop the root shell and then edit the same
[08:42] <mib_f1t8oaba> what is the exact name of the file i need to edit?
[08:42] <ienorand> indus: mib_f1t8oaba indus: any idea why su is enabled in the first place? normally it shouldn't be...
[08:43] <ienorand> or rather, su to root.
[08:43] <mib_f1t8oaba> yes I enabled it in a console
[08:43] <Slart> johanhenkens: ok, try putting this at the start of the crontab command "DISPLAY=:0.0"
[08:43] <Slart> johanhenkens: without the quotes
[08:43] <mib_f1t8oaba> im su now in console, what is the command please to add a user via sudo?
[08:44] <johanhenkens> Slart: k, gimme a min to try it all out
[08:44] <boringpackets> ubuntu x64 9.04 is ridiculously fast, im really impressed
[08:44] <Slart> johanhenkens: so the crontab entry should be "06 * * * * /home/johanhenkens/Servers/warden.sh > /home/johanhenkens/Servers/cronlog.log
[08:44] <mib_f1t8oaba> root@development:/etc# id uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)  <-- in console
[08:44] <Slart> johanhenkens: sorry,  the crontab entry should be "DISPLAY=:0.0 06 * * * * /home/johanhenkens/Servers/warden.sh > /home/johanhenkens/Servers/cronlog.log
[08:45] <eduardo> newbie at chat hi to all
[08:45] <johanhenkens> Slart: the cronlog.log was just temporary in order to test it all out
[08:45] <Guest6262> i'm not able to download with flasgot+wget from megashare....in the wget menu the files is in "retrieving" state and doesn't start....what should i do?
[08:45] <Slart> johanhenkens: sorry again,  the crontab entry should be "06 * * * * DISPLAY=:0.0 /home/johanhenkens/Servers/warden.sh > /home/johanhenkens/Servers/cronlog.log
[08:45] <Slart> johanhenkens: I think I need some coffee =)
[08:45] <ienorand> mib_f1t8oaba: the "visudo" command brings up the editor for the /etc/sudoers file
[08:45] <johanhenkens> Slart: we all need coffee!
[08:46] <sonali> johanhenkens: :)
[08:46] <Jack8312> Can anyone tell me if there is a USB modem driver in Ubuntu?
[08:46] <Hymnosis> 3g modem?
[08:46] <eduardo> for motorola sb5101 , tested personally
[08:46] <mib_f1t8oaba> ok im in it, what is the command to add a line and to quit?
[08:47] <eduardo> 3g modem, never tried
[08:47] <mib_f1t8oaba> mark    ALL=(ALL) ALL  - ?
[08:47] <Jack8312> Hymnosis, Yes.
[08:47] <johanhenkens> Slart: THANK YOU!! :)
[08:47] <ienorand> mib_f1t8oaba: add      username ALL=(ALL) ALL      to the end of the sudoers file    where username could be mark.
[08:47] <Slart> johanhenkens: you're welcome
[08:47] <mib_f1t8oaba> ok got it
[08:47] <vegombrei> dvd movies not playing too good .. picture seems grainy.. is there a fix?
[08:48] <johanhenkens> Slart: It worked! I've been trying to fix this since about 10. :) Very new to ubuntu, but loving it.
[08:48] <mib_f1t8oaba> restart sudo ?
[08:48] <Slart> johanhenkens: mm.. the "run gui stuff from cron" is often asked..you're not the only one with that problem =)
[08:48] <mib_f1t8oaba> or reboot?
[08:49] <mib_f1t8oaba> User privilege specification root    ALL=(ALL) ALL mark    ALL=(ALL) ALL
[08:49] <Jack8312> I heard that some 3G modem driver was included in Ubuntu 8.10, but I only installed 8.04.
[08:49] <mib_f1t8oaba> nope no reboot needed
[08:50] <freakynl> anyone aware of a good front-end to configure vsftpd for non-technical users?
[08:50] <mib_f1t8oaba> seems to be working now
[08:50] <mib_f1t8oaba> ty for all your help
[08:52] <ienorand> There have been a few events when people have "su root" possibility and no "sudo" , I wonder what could cause such a thing initially...

[08:53] <Hystoriker> hello. i have some problems after todays upgrade of openoffice to version 3.1 on hardy via ppa. the program is now fully in english and i am missing the writer2latex export function. can anybody help?
[08:53] <mib_f1t8oaba> lol now slow movies and no sound lol
[08:53] <mib_f1t8oaba> ill reboot
[08:54] <Hystoriker> i would not mind to downgrade to 3.0.1 either, but is that possible?
[08:54] <ienorand> Hystoriker: force version in synaptic
[08:56] <Hystoriker> ienorand: excuse my ignorance, but how exactly is that done? i use kubuntu and normally work with apt-get
[08:56] <mib_74kqi24b> please ignore - just testing access through our proxy
[08:57] <ursus> hi! I just upgraded to Xubuntu 9.04 on a HP notebook, but I can't manage the master volume with fn keys. The brightness fn keys work... Is there a way to enable volume function keys?
[08:59] <mohamed_> lnemss
[09:00] <sacarlson> ursus: maybe system>preferences>keyboard shortcuts
[09:00] <ursus> I'm there right now. And simply add manually the shortcut?
[09:00] <ursus> for example: amixer set Master 5+
[09:01] <ursus> I just wondering, how the brightness fn keys work, and the volume don't. :)
[09:01] <sacarlson> it has volume and stuf already just change to what you want the key to be
[09:02] <OzTrOuT> hi all :)
[09:02] <Brack10> how can I get the status of a dd command?
[09:03] <hbekel> Brack10: kill -USR1 <pid of dd>
[09:04] <hbekel> Brack10: this will make dd print out a status message
[09:05] <bingungaja> anyone can help me out ? i can't install ubuntu, error drdy, try many times but can't install, now using live cd
[09:05] <Brack10> cool thanks
[09:05] <Brack10> damn this is slow copying a DVD
[09:05] <archman> After the update it reports that it has an updates for linux-generic, linux-headers-generic, linux-image, linux-image-generic, linux-restricted-modules-generic; but they are greyed out and it says "Not all updates can be installed", so I assume I need to do something in Synaptic. If I mark linux-image for update it will remove linux-generic, and will not install a new version of it. What can I do?
[09:06] <sacarlson> bingungaja: error drdy? is that the mesage?
[09:06] <sexcopter1> hi, i'm at my laptop (jaunty), and i want to send sound to the pc sitting across the room (also jaunty). i have attempted setting up pulseaudio, and some sounds are playing "remotely", but i can't get an mp3 playing on the laptop to sound on the pc, using vlc. any pointers?
[09:06] <Brack10> sexcopter1: shoutcast
[09:06] <Brack10> or whatever the OSS guys like
[09:07] <bingungaja> sacarlson: error in hda or sda (DRDY) .. if i was not wrong, while installing to my PC
[09:07] <sexcopter1> Brack10: can you elaborate a bit?
[09:07] <Brack10> stream it
[09:07] <Brack10> I don't think that pulseaudio was meant to run over a network
[09:07] <Brack10> pretty sure it has to be a local comp..anyone?
[09:08] <sacarlson> bingungaja: this is with the live CD version?
[09:08] <sexcopter1> Brack10: I'm trying it out because I think it's very much aimed at networking multimedia
[09:08] <sexcopter1> Brack10: but i may be wrong of course
[09:08] <Brack10> hmm
[09:08] <Brack10> well time to read up I guess
[09:08] <ursus> sacarlson thank you. I added the hotkey fn+F11/12 manually, and it works. But I don't know that it were simply disabled somewhere...
[09:08] <edoreld> I installed the package "network-manager-pptp", I configured a VPN connection and tried to connect. It asked for my username & password (For the VPN connection) and I wrote it and pressed enter. Nothing happened. I already restarted my computer. Is there something I'm missing?
[09:09] <bingungaja> sacarlson: yes, now i'm using live cd version without instaling to my pc
[09:09] <ursus> sacarlson it should be recognized automatically on a notebook, shouldn't?
[09:09] <archman> can i remove "linux-restricted-modules-2.6.27-14 from "local or obsolete" even though apt-get autoremove won't remove it? I'm using 2.6.28.
[09:09] <banyunet> ha;;o

[09:33] <coz_> http://getsongbird.com/
[09:34] <RichiV> how do i gheck my gfx bianaries?
[09:34] <X-TaZ> erika, it tells me to /usr/sbin/dhcpd eth1 ... it doesnt exist in ubuntu :x
 yeah i downloaded from that site
[09:35] <quibbler> Hymnosis-> look here: http://www.getdeb.net/search.php?keywords=songbird
[09:35] <macvr> hi can any one advice me on what to choose for this notebook config? ubuntu/kubuntu/UNR: Sony VAIO PCG-SRX87 Laptop  * Processor: 850 MHz Mobile Intel Pentium III Processor    * RAM: 256 MB    * RAM Type: SDRAM    * L2 Cache: 512 KB Hard Drive    * Size: 20 GB    * Graphics Card: Intel 815EM graphic    * Graphics RAM: 11 MB
[09:36] <cir> I can't get ubuntu to work with vista, I'm getting an error 17 when grub tries to load
[09:36] <coz_> Hymnosis,  yes you can either go to that getdeb  and download and install or just open the folder you downloaded  righ click songbird.bin
[09:36] <coz_> Hymnosis,  go to permissions and make sure it is executable
[09:36] <indus> X-TaZ:can you try /etc/init.d/dhcpd start
[09:36] <Madpilot> macvr, probably UNR for those spec. old machine, or netbook?
[09:36] <coz_> Hymnosis,  then  open a terminal  cd to that folder and then   ./songbird
[09:37] <sacarlson> cir: reload mbr with grub
[09:37] <macvr> Madpilot: but UNR says 384 mb ram required!
[09:37] <RichiV> can anyone tell me how i can get into the bianaries for my graphics?
[09:37] <X-TaZ> indus, there is not dhcpd in init.d only dhcp3-server
[09:37] <cir> I don't know how to reload the mbr
[09:37] <ActionParsnip> RichiV: define "into"
[09:37] <macvr> Madpilot: its an old notebook
[09:38] <graypoodle> hi i am trying to write a dvd burning app in python and can't figure out  way to check if there is a dvd in the drive. How can I do that?
[09:38] <RichiV> just view them i geuss
[09:38] <indus> X-TaZ: YA thats the one
[09:38] <ActionParsnip> RichiV: do you want to know which driver you are currently using?
[09:38] <indus> X-TaZ:you are trying to start dhcp server correct?
[09:38] <Madpilot> macvr, try xubuntu perhaps. you might not be able to run any of the desktop/liveCDs, you might have to install from the alternate (text-based) version
[09:38] <sacarlson> RichiV: you want to look at the source code?
[09:38] <ienorand> cir: might be of help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=442945
[09:38] <RichiV> yeah
[09:38] <RichiV> source code is good
[09:39] <ActionParsnip> RichiV: sudo lshw -C display | grep driver
[09:39] <RichiV> no i do not know what driver
[09:39] <RichiV> ok
[09:39] <cir> I've been looking at that and the problem still exists
[09:39] <macvr> Madpilot: xubuntu. why do i need alternate installer? how do i install on this , when there is no cd drive?
[09:39] <ActionParsnip> RichiV: that shows you what driver module is currently loaded for your card
[09:40] <X-TaZ> indus,  i need dhcp3 (it supports the bootpc )
[09:40] <macvr> Madpilot: also i'm not able to boot from live usb!
[09:40] <coz_> Hymnosis,  you might find it a bit slow  also there is an application names  Miro  a nice player as well
[09:40] <RichiV> doesnt show anything
[09:40] <ActionParsnip> RichiV: if you want the source, you will need the source for that driver
[09:40] <Madpilot> macvr, can you change the boot-order bios settings to allow boot from usb?
[09:40] <tapia> Hi
[09:40] <coz_> Hymnosis,   songbird will not comply ...out of the box with compiz things like wobbly
[09:40] <tapia> I have dual head, using the ATI fglrx driver
[09:40] <tapia> everithing works fine, but when I maximize a window or switch some app to fullscreen, 1/3 of the window remains out of the monitor
[09:40] <ActionParsnip> RichiV: try grep module
[09:40] <RichiV> ok
[09:40] <tapia> anyone knows why?
[09:40] <macvr> Madpilot: i tried changing the boot order to removable devices but, its not detecting the usb !
[09:41] <RichiV> still nothing
[09:41] <ActionParsnip> RichiV: ok try it without the grep
[09:41] <macvr> Madpilot: how is a network install done?
[09:41] <Madpilot> macvr, I've never tried one myself
[09:41] <bullgard4> After8.04.2>9.04 Upgrade there are 3 files on my computer whose filenames include 'festival', although I did not a single package having 'festival' in its name. Why did Ubuntu installer load them up?
[09:41] <RichiV> bash command not found
[09:42] <RichiV> i put vendor at the end
[09:42] <RichiV> and it sai ATI tech inc
[09:42] <bullgard4> After8.04.2>9.04 Upgrade there are 3 files on my computer whose filenames include 'festival', although I do not have a single package having 'festival' in its name. Why did Ubuntu installer load them up?
[09:42] <KyleK> bullgard4: what are the exact file names
[09:42] <KyleK> also
[09:42] <KyleK> !repeat | bullgard4
[09:42] <penigma_> hi, exists any editor which could higlight differences between two files
[09:42] <penigma_> I ned editor with GUI
[09:42] <cir> is there a way I can configure grub in the livecd interface or do I need to do everything command line
[09:42] <macvr> Madpilot: ok... i'm new to it but, i have a doubt, if i connect my laptop via an ethernet cable to this netbook ,is that a network install?
[09:43] <platius> macvr; http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-ubuntukubuntuedubuntuxubuntu-without-cdrom-drive.html   you might look here
[09:43] <Madpilot> macvr, my browser is being screwy, can't look stuff up, but have a look around https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation if you haven't already
[09:43] <RichiV> ActionParsnip: nothing
[09:43] <RichiV> ActionsParsnip: it only says command not found
[09:43] <macvr> platius: Madpilot thanx..
[09:44] <ienorand> cir: do you by any chance have media direct?
[09:44] <cir> what's that
[09:44] <tapia> !patience
[09:44] <ienorand> cir: extra strtup button ( I would guess not)
[09:44] <bullgard4> KyleK: /usr/bin/festival-synthesis-driver, /usr/lib/bonobo/servers/GNOME_Speech_SynthesisDriver_Festival.server and /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstfestival.so.
[09:44] <Madpilot> macvr, have fun & good luck. Back in five, got to sort this machine's network connection out...
[09:45] <cir> no I just installed it and haven't gotten anything to work
[09:45] <cir> I don't even see a bootloader menu
[09:45] <ActionParsnip> RichiV: you may find it defined in xorg.conf
[09:45] <RichiV> ok
[09:45] <ActionParsnip> RichiV: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep -i driver
 so what mp3 player would you recommend or to try out?
[09:46] <RichiV> ActionParsnip: still nothing
[09:46] <macvr> platius: Madpilot , oh 1 problem, this notebook has virus, it screwed up my live usb files when i connected to the windows xp ,and live usb didnt work... would that affect the alternate cd files too? similarly... or is there a way to wipe the drive?
[09:46] <ActionParsnip> RichiV: hmm
[09:46] <KyleK> bullgard4: the libgstfestival.so is part of a gstreamer plugins package you installed
[09:46] <coz_> Hymnosis,  mm not sure  I generally just use whatenever is onboard  like rhythmbox
[09:46] <ActionParsnip> RichiV: maybe someone else can pitch in, i'm out. sorry
[09:46] <RichiV> thanx dude
[09:46] <coz_> Hymnosis,  or just mouse over the audio file and listen
[09:46] <Hymnosis> ahh ok
[09:46] <RichiV> at lease there was some help XD
[09:46] <turuo> hi all
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> RichiV: could use the output of: lspci | grep -i vga
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> RichiV: or read through your x log, it will say what driver is loaded
[09:47] <RichiV> that worked!
[09:47] <turuo> how do pdf merge
[09:47] <RichiV> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M24 1P [Radeon Mobility X600]
[09:48] <ActionParsnip> RichiV: less /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[09:48] <RichiV> ok and scroll thru looking for my driver?
[09:49] <KyleK> bullgard4: apt-get remove libgnome-speech7 and see what it'll ask to remove along with it? dont say yes to it without really thinking about its output :)
[09:49] <nnutter> bullgard4: expanding on KyleK's last comment. My guess is they are installed by default as part of GNOME as most desktop environments include some level of accesibility for people who can not hear or see.

[09:52] <macvr>  platius: Madpilot , oh 1 problem, this notebook has virus, it screwed up my live usb files when i connected to the windows xp ,and live usb didnt work... would that affect the alternate cd files too? similarly... or is there a way to wipe the drive?
[09:53] <Madpilot> macvr, Windows viruses won't harm a linux OS - but it might, I guess, have screwed up the file you downloaded
[09:53] <cir> should my rootnoverify in the menu.lst file be (hd0,0)?
[09:53] <KyleK> macvr: hopefully you're being paranoid and burning a cd on a non screwed up OS
[09:53] <arvind_khadri> how do i make a windows machine logon to DC which runs samba
[09:55] <serjo> hey
[09:55] <RichiV> how do i get another graphics driver?
[09:55] <serjo> why is my ubuntu x64 is unstable and gets 100 cpu usage?/
[09:56] <macvr> Madpilot: KyleK ... no i havent downloaded the alternate cd iso file yet but was asking if it might screw the iso file like it did my live usb files... or any precautions i had to take ... was just checking
[09:56] <shaky> ciao
[09:56] <shaky> a tutti
[09:56] <shaky> volevo sapere se e possibile creare un cd d installazione di ubuntu personalizzato
[09:56] <KyleK> macvr: use someone elses computer is my advice unless you can afford a possible coaster and wasted time
[09:57] <ikonia> serjo: is it running at %100 cpu all the time ?
[09:57] <ikonia> !it > shaky
[09:57] <serjo> ikonia
[09:57] <serjo> not all the time
[09:57] <ikonia> serjo: what causes it to spike ?
[09:57] <shaky> !it
[09:57] <serjo> but sometimes i get black screen
[09:57] <macvr> KyleK: ok...
[09:57] <serjo> i have no idea
[09:57] <serjo> its just unstable
[09:57] <ikonia> serjo: it's not unstable, it sounds like your setup is having a problem
[09:57] <serjo> its like says: not enough resources
[09:57] <ikonia> serjo: where does it say that ?
[09:58] <serjo> error message
[09:58] <ikonia> serjo: where is the error message ?
[09:58] <serjo> i have verry goood pc
[09:59] <coz_> shaky  tu parle inglese?
[09:59] <indus> oui
[09:59] <arvind_khadri> ikonia: hi how do i make a windows machine logon to DC which runs samba
[09:59] <ikonia> arvind_khadri: exactly the same as a windows domain - ask it to join the domain and authenticate it
[09:59] <serjo> btw how do i mount a new partition i just made?
[10:00] <Kilominha> mount /mnt /dev/sdb*
[10:00] <pcfreak30> no
[10:00] <pcfreak30> mount /media/mpoint  /dev/sdb*
[10:01] <ikonia> it's neither
[10:01] <hbekel> Kilominha: how can you be sure that it's sdb and not sda or sdc?
[10:01] <pcfreak30> that integrates with gnome/thunar
[10:01] <ikonia> sudo mount /dev/$device_file /$mount_point
[10:01] <Kilominha> not sure, but guessed he would understand
[10:01] <pcfreak30> lol
[10:01] <pcfreak30> got param's mixed up
[10:01] <pcfreak30> :-D
[10:01] <arvind_khadri> ikonia: its atually not happening, i get error message that the user doesnt exist
[10:01] <ikonia> arvind_khadri: have you created the user on the domain controller ?
[10:02] <bullgard4> KyleK:  apt-get remove libgnome-speech7 asks me if it really should remove gnome orca and libgnome-speech. I did not confirm yet.
[10:02] <arvind_khadri> ikonia: yes and i also did smbpsswd -e username
[10:02] <ikonia> arvind_khadri: what is samba authenticating against ?
[10:03] <protocol1> there an easy way to reconfigure my display adapter?
[10:03] <arvind_khadri> ikonia: can you make it sound simpler ?
[10:03] <ikonia> arvind_khadri: what backend are you using for samba to authenticate against
[10:04] <Guest6262> hi guys....i have a question....i'm developping on kvm....in tailf i see this message "May  7 08:41:20 metal kernel: kvm: 16761: cpu0 unhandled wrmsr: 0xc0010117 data 0" ....i want to know where is the source code that print that message....how could i do???
[10:04] <ikonia> Guest6262: it will be within the kernel
[10:04] <__Thegod> how can i setup a ftp server on linux ?
[10:04] <__Thegod> livecd ?
[10:04] <__Thegod> do ubuntu hawe a ftp server on livecd ?
[10:04] <ikonia> __Thegod: using the livecd is a bit silly for an ftp server, but you can do it if you treat it the same way as an standard install
[10:04] <ActionParsnip> __Thegod: you can use livecd or installed system
[10:05] <arvind_khadri> ikonia: i just followed the community documentation
[10:05] <cir> I'm still getting this error and I'm really stuck I have no idea what's wrong
[10:05] <ikonia> __Thegod: the livecd does not have an ftp server by default
[10:05] <ActionParsnip> __Thegod: the dvd might
[10:05] <ikonia> arvind_khadri: what documentation
[10:05] <KyleK> bullgard4: thats not so bad, really you're just wasting a meg or so of space with those packages, do you have something against festival? ;)
[10:05] <ActionParsnip> __Thegod: if you have web access, you can install one using apt-get as normal
[10:06] <__Thegod> so which ftp application exists for linux/ubuntu or whatwer ?
[10:06] <arvind_khadri> ikonia: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/samba-dc.html\
[10:06] <Guest6262> ikonia: in the kernel or in the kvm kernel-module? and could i know in where?
[10:06] <susscorfa> is there a way to access a web dav dir quickly nautilus doenst work and gnome commander is very slow
[10:06] <__Thegod> s*
[10:06] <ikonia> Guest6262: the kernel module is the kerne l
[10:06] <ActionParsnip> __Thegod: there are many
[10:06] <__Thegod> can you call any ones  neme ?
[10:06] <bullgard4> KyleK: My feelings are not important here. I would only like to know why this is so. (Firstly.)
[10:06] <ActionParsnip> __Thegod: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/settingup-an-ftp-server-on-ubuntu-with-proftpd.html
[10:06] <cir> I just installed ubuntu for the first time, i have 3 sata hard drives, sda is my windows vista drive, sdb is ubuntu, and sdc is just media. when i start the machine I get a grub error 17 and cannot get it to go away
[10:07] <Guest6262> ikonia: u're right...i would like to know where is the source code of that message....how can i do that?
[10:07] <ikonia> Guest6262: join ##kernel or #kvm
[10:07] <ikonia> arvind_khadri: what step are you up to in that document ?
[10:07] <cir> I checked the device.map and device-map files and they seem fine, I followed the steps in the forum post on error 17 and so far it hasn't helped
[10:07] <C0nn0R> Cir: I think that error is something with the MBR messing up.
[10:08] <st_> does notification-properties program work for you guys in jaunty?
[10:08] <macvr> ikonia:  hi can u advice me on what to choose for this notebook config? ubuntu/kubuntu/UNR: Sony VAIO PCG-SRX87 Laptop  * Processor: 850 MHz Mobile Intel Pentium III Processor    * RAM: 256 MB    * RAM Type: SDRAM    * L2 Cache: 512 KB Hard Drive    * Size: 20 GB    * Graphics Card: Intel 815EM graphic    * Graphics RAM: 11 MB
[10:08] <KyleK> bullgard4: those three files aren't specific to festival, but are needed to hook into it with gnome, so if someone wants to use festival to do stuff, they just apt-get install festival and dont have to track down libgnome-speech which isn't obious
[10:08] <ikonia> macvr: what ever you want,
[10:08] <ikonia> macvr: what ever you like
[10:08] <Madpilot> macvr, any luck on getting your machine to boot from usb?
[10:08] <C0nn0R> Cir: Ubuntu Forums may help you with debugging this error, I never really had this problem since I only have one hardisk with Ubuntu being my only OS on it.
[10:09] <xking> hellp
[10:09] <ActionParsnip> macvr: any ubuntu wil run fine
[10:09] <macvr> Madpilot: i'm bustiing my head :(
[10:09] <Madpilot> ubottu, ask | xking
[10:09] <bullgard4> KyleK: Thank you very much for your help.
[10:09] <ActionParsnip> macvr: i always recommend xubuntu due to it leaving more ram for apps
[10:09] <cir> c0nn0r: I don't know how to fix the mbr or even what's wrong with it, do you know how I can configure either the bootloader or the mbr graphically since command line isn't working out so well for me?
[10:09] <xking> hello
[10:09] <arvind_khadri> ikonia: i did the setup acc to that, but now i am just unable to login from a windows machine
[10:10] <C0nn0R> Cir: Try this way and see if could help you with your current boot issues, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-348785.html
[10:10] <KyleK> bullgard4: yw
[10:10] <macvr> ikonia: ActionParsnip: i was actually thinking of UNR but the specs for that say 384 mb ram is that correct or a typo[because for ubuntu its 256]
[10:10] <cir> thanks c0nn0r I'll read up on it and see if anything works
[10:10] <xking> 有没有中国的，出来说句话
[10:10] <C0nn0R> Okay cool, Hope your woes will disappear.
[10:11] <C0nn0R> Computers, fun when they work, a pain in the ass when they refuse to work.
[10:11] <Madpilot> xking, Chinese or Japanese?
[10:11] <serjo> it says only root can mount
[10:11] <ActionParsnip> macvr: xubuntu is light, you can always install ubuntu then install a lighter DE
[10:11] <serjo> how do i login as root in the terminal
[10:11] <C0nn0R> Serjo: sudo su
[10:12] <C0nn0R> And then enter your password
[10:12] <serjo> sudo su lol?
[10:12] <C0nn0R> Yeah
[10:12] <sunset46> Sunset
[10:12] <C0nn0R> You should be in root shell after entering that command and pw.
[10:12] <arvind_khadri> ikonia: any ideas
[10:12] <sunset46> I am having problems with my HP laserjet printing..
[10:12] <st_> synaptic package and iceTea java for firefox?!
[10:12] <C0nn0R> Ditto
[10:12] <macvr> ActionParsnip: ok... xubuntu seems better for this... another silly question... is there a XNR[xubuntu UNR]?
[10:12] <Madpilot> xking, please ask before PMing people. Thanks.
[10:12] <st_> why it doesnt work
[10:13] <Madpilot> ubottu, sudo | serjo
[10:13] <livingdaylight> Question: trying to add authentication key from Software Sources/Authentication tab.... I browse but can't see the pgp key saved to Desktop?
[10:13] <XRockKid> hi
[10:13] <Madpilot> C0nn0R, just sudo + command is enough, and easier
[10:13] <serjo> thnx for the help
[10:13] <ActionParsnip> macvr: UNR is just ubuntu with some tweaks as far as i've seen
[10:13] <sunset46> I ran a testpage and it tells me that the printer has started a print job and has starting printing, but yet nothing prints??
[10:13] <XRockKid> q: i'm an unprivileged user and i try to view the user.log file

[10:13] <sunset46> HELp...
[10:14] <vegombrei> dvd movies not playing too good .. picture seems grainy.. is there a fix?
[10:14] <sunset46> I have only been using ubuntu for 4 months now, but cannot seem to get printer up and running
[10:14] <macvr> ActionParsnip: yeah, i'v noticed that... so does that mean i could install xubuntu and make it work like the UNR?
[10:15] <ActionParsnip> macvr: if you want UNR, install it dude. Don't clutter the system with extra fluff
[10:17] <jonaskoelker> Hi.  I need help getting NetworkManager set up.  Would anyone help me?
[10:17] <macvr> ActionParsnip: well its not for me, i actually hate the UNR setup, but my mom seems to find it easier...! big icons! well thanx for the help
[10:17] <arvind_khadri> ikonia: i have finished with the doument, but getting errors
[10:17] <st_> why did synaptic package handler crash installing icedTea, and then sudo aptitude install icedTea worked?!
[10:17] <st_> sick
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> macvr: evaluate both against needs / performace and choose the best for the job
[10:18] <ikonia> arvind_khadri: look in the samba log to see why it thinks the user doesn't exist, check what it's authenticating against

[10:18] <koshari> is udev gone in 9.04?
[10:18] <danboid> Anyone here got any experience with debpartial? I've mirrored Jauny i386 + src, I've archived the binaries and now I want to archive thge source debs but I'm not quite sure what the correct debpartial command to do this is
[10:18] <arvind_khadri> ikonia: ok,you will be around right ?
[10:19] <ziroday> XRockKid: if you don't have the permissions you can't.
[10:19] <macvr> ActionParsnip: its easier for us to evaluate but the old folks!!! i think i might have to do multi installs to get her to choose one!!!  :/
[10:19] <ActionParsnip> macvr: best way, then strip it all out and use the desired one
[10:19] <danboid> I followed this guide:

[10:20] <DaveWM> ok,  i see 3 different ways to install the flash plugin in jaunty package manager,  the flashplugin-nonfree, flashplugin-installer,  and adobe-flashplugin(which as the ubuntu logo beside it)  is there any difference between what it installs and how well it works,  i use firefox btw?
[10:20] <danboid> but it doesn't cover source
[10:20] <XRockKid> but is there a hack tool...or a script ...
[10:20] <Anacleto> Hello
[10:20] <DaveWM> i'm trying to get better flash video performance in linux,  atm i installed via the flashplugin-installer package
[10:20] <ActionParsnip> DaveWM: they will all give you flash
[10:20] <Anacleto> Alguien de Gandia?
[10:21] <danboid> debpartial seems to give options for no source and merge source but I can't see any option for source only
[10:21] <DaveWM> i realize that,  but does one perform better than the other?
[10:21] <ActionParsnip> DaveWM: i dont use any of those myself and keep myself updated with the tar.gz file. but its easier and quicker to use the packages
[10:21] <DaveWM> hmm
[10:21] <ActionParsnip> DaveWM: as far as i've seen, they all do the same trick
[10:22] <dman777> has anyone ever bought a refurbished dell laptop?

[10:22] <macvr> ActionParsnip: is old netbook doesnt boot into the ubuntu liveusb! i checked the BIOS and set the removable drives as the first priority but it only boots into the harddisk... am i missing something? or is there a way to force a usb boot?
[10:22] <Madpilot> ActionParsnip, given that you can buy Dell machines w/ Ubuntu pre-installed, you might be a bit quick on the ot flag there...
[10:23] <ActionParsnip> Madpilot: then its a badly formed question ;)
[10:23] <ActionParsnip> macvr: if the system doesnt support usb booting then you'll need to use a cd
[10:23] <frikipedista9381> Alquien español?
[10:23] <DaveWM> macvr  how did you make the usb media?
[10:24] <koshari> how can you set udev rules in 9.04?
[10:24] <DaveWM> sometimes if its not made right,  the bios will just overlook it
[10:24] <Madpilot> ubottu, es
[10:24] <macvr> ActionParsnip: netbook... no cd... i'll have to get external cd?
[10:24] <frikipedista9381> frikis
[10:24] <Uqbar> Chuck Norris protects baker - http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_3308615.html

[10:25] <st_> macvr: xubuntu?
[10:25] <ActionParsnip> macvr: could install puppy to it
[10:26] <danboid> It seems every guide on the net that covers mirroring and archiving ubuntu always choose to go the --nosource route :(
[10:26] <DaveWM> hmm
[10:26] <DaveWM> slitaz is cool macvr
[10:26] <macvr> ActionParsnip: st_ i acccidentally posted the whole post... it was for DaveWM
[10:26] <FloodBot2> !netsplit
[10:27] <ziroday> danboid: #ubuntu-mirrors is probably the most helpful for setting up an ubuntu archive
[10:27] <danboid> ziroday: I had no idea there was such a channel! Thanks!
[10:27] <DaveWM> macvr,  you could try jaunty,  use the alternative install cd,  make it with unebootin,  then skip the install tasks,  and boot into command line and install minimal desktop via apt-get
[10:28] <DrMrHorse> thats odd
[10:28] <DrMrHorse> transmission is segfaulting after the update today
[10:28] <ziroday> DaveWM: there is a handy mini.iso as well :)
[10:28] <macvr> DaveWM: net book... no cd :(
[10:28] <DaveWM> yeah,  i like it
[10:28] <DaveWM> its nice
[10:29] <ziroday> DrMrHorse: pastebin strace transmission
[10:29] <DaveWM> i know macvr,  get unebootin,  tell it the iso you wanna use and it'll put it on a usb stick for ya
[10:29] <DaveWM> works with most linux media
[10:29] <rumpel2> most?
[10:29] <DaveWM> well i'm saying that
[10:30] <DaveWM> cause i don't know if there's some it fails with

[10:30] <DaveWM> its worked for all i've tried it with
[10:30] <macvr> DaveWM: yeah i forgot... i could try if that works... i have unetbooting... just thought that usb aint being detected!
[10:30] <DaveWM> its possible
[10:30] <incorrect> j #tatpu
[10:30] <DaveWM> some usb devices won't get recognized by some bios's
[10:30] <DaveWM> if ya got another stick,  try it out
[10:30] <DaveWM> i got one that i can boot off of,  but wouldnt get recognized for a bios flash

[10:33] <ziroday> macvr: yes, if the laptop has the necessary services installed. Probably better if you use unetbootin or something similar

[10:35] <ziroday> DrMrHorse: err not sure either :)
[10:36] <unknown_> ikonia: so maybe something other than gnash? In gnash i'm getting bad colors etc, but when i open in it browser, then it looks ok
[10:36] <ActionParsnip> unknown_: i'm sure theres a codec you can get to make it fly
[10:36] <ikonia> unknown_: install the flashplugin-nonfree package and open it in a browser

[10:37] <unknown_> ActionParsnip: I can only hear the voice from this swf
[10:37] <unknown_> in totem
[10:37] <DaveWM> just wondering
[10:37] <ActionParsnip> unknown_: try: sudo apt-get install swfdec-gnome
[10:37] <ScottG_> ikonia: What do they disconnect from each other for?
[10:38] <bakr> When opening the surprisingly close
[10:38] <ActionParsnip> unknown_: it may throw a coddec into the mix so totem can play it
[10:38] <ikonia> ScottG_: check the freenode webpage for more info
[10:38] <ScottG_> ikonia: eh
[10:38] <ikonia> bakr: what are you talking about ?
[10:38] <ikonia> ScottG_: detils on a netsplit can be found on freenodes website, or in the channel #freenode
[10:39] <ActionParsnip> unknown_: not helpful theres a game named totem destroyer.swf
[10:39] <ActionParsnip> ;)
[10:39] <bakr> Does no one speak the Arabic language, please
[10:39] <ikonia> bakr: no, let me see if I can find your loco channel
[10:40] <edoreld> Can someone tell me why I get "The 'VPN connection 'VPN connection 1' failed to start. The VPN service was invalid. " when I try to connect via VPN?
[10:40] <edoreld> My logs say things like "VPN Plugin failed: 1" and "VPN plugin state changed: 6"
[10:40] <DrMrHorse> ziroday: got it
[10:40] <DrMrHorse> had to run strace -o <filename> <command>
[10:40] <unknown_> ActionParsnip: totem still can't display video.. before i had a problem with even opening file, now i hear the voice, but only not video.. so i think it must be possible somehow :)

[10:45] <lianimator> ActionParsnip: yes, just updated. and yes, running compiz.
[10:45] <ActionParsnip> lianimator: try without compiz messing up the place
[10:45] <OsamaK> bakr: هذه قناة إنجليزية، الحديث بالعربية سوف يزعجهم، من فضلك توجه إلى #wikipedia-ar

[10:45] <ActionParsnip> lianimator: hmm
[10:45] <OsamaK> ikonia: sorry?
[10:45] <lianimator> other keybindings work. like close windows, etc.
[10:45] <ActionParsnip> lianimator: try assigning the shortcut to something else, then back

[10:48] <ha1331> ikonia yes

[10:48] <ha1331> ikonia I can. just a sec
[10:48] <ActionParsnip> lianimator: Turns out this was bug #331556 for me. I enabled 'Gnome Compatibility' in compiz config settings manager and it started working again.
[10:49] <shadeslayer> can someone paste their grub menu.lst i need to see something
[10:49] <ikonia> shadeslayer: what do you want ?
[10:49] <shadeslayer> ikonia: what was the line to be added to enable usplash?? ro spalsh quiet?
[10:49] <macvr> ActionParsnip: : i actually insatlled windows7 on a partition by saving the iso to a different partiton and mounting it... could this be done for ubuntu too? the netbook has 2 partitions...
[10:50] <ikonia> shadeslayer: "splash" quiet, yes
[10:50] <ikonia> shadeslayer: ro = "read only" nothing to do with splash
[10:50] <lianimator> ActionParsnip: thanks a bunch! gnome compatibility was the solution.
[10:50] <monkey_d_luffy> Maybe this is a silly question, but... what are good mount point names for new hdd?   I thought on putting the drive capacity in the mount point name, but then it gets confuse for the same hdd with 2 partitions of the same size.  (I already have 3 hdds besides the OS drive)   Any suggestions?
[10:50] <shadeslayer> ok
[10:50] <ActionParsnip> shadeslayer: someones menu.lst is next to useless to you due to differences in disk setup and partitioning: http://pastebin.com/f3837b341
[10:50] <ikonia> monkey_d_luffy: personal choice
[10:50] <ActionParsnip> shadeslayer: theres mine
[10:50] <ActionParsnip> lianimator: compiz is a pig, and not worth it imho
[10:51] <shadeslayer> ActionParsnip: meh...i needed to the default options to enable usplash
[10:51] <monkey_d_luffy> ikonia: I know. But maybe someone has a good naming convention. That's why I asked.

[10:51] <|ntegra|> jaunty doesn't treat the /etc/sudoers file like gutsy did
[10:51] <ikonia> |ntegra|: in what respect ?
[10:52] <KyleK> monkey_d_luffy: monkey1 monkey2 etc?
[10:53] <indus> does changing the sources list from hardy to jaunty give me an upgrade to jaunty??
[10:53] <ha1331> ikonia http://pastebin.com/d79cb9cbd
[10:53] <monkey_d_luffy> KyleK: :]
[10:53] <|ntegra|> I did $sudo mousepad /etc/sudoers and added defaults !lecture,tty_tickets,timestamp=0 before but I'm trying to do the same thing and having no luck
[10:54] <Bodsda> indus: you'll be using the jaunty repo's then so sort of yeah, then i think you need to do dist-upgrade and it should skip intrepid (skipping releases is not generally supported)
[10:54] <jimcooncat> monkey_d_luffy: I'd name them according to their usage: spool, vidarchive, iso, pr0n, etc.
[10:54] <ikonia> ha1331: your first virtual host doesn't have  aserver name
[10:55] <jimcooncat> monkey_d_luffy: why so many hd's?
[10:55] <__Thegod> hm.. is it possible to make some dodifications on livecd isoimage of ubuntulivecd ?
[10:55] <indus> Bodsda:  i heard its dangerous as it only gets the jaunty packages but doesnt really upgrage the system??
[10:55] <ha1331> ikoniashould it, I taught it's the default file it fall's on when requested somthing that doesn't have VirtualHost defined?
[10:55] <lianimator> can notify-osd or pidgin be configured so the new messages doesn't show?
[10:55] <ikonia> __Thegod: yes, but you will need a reasonable understanding of how the livecd is put together as it is a compressed image based on a squashfs file system
[10:55] <Bodsda> indus: be on the safe side then, upgrade to intrepid then to jaunty
[10:55] <ikonia> ha1331: wouldn't everything pattern match that and hit that site without a server name ?
[10:56] <indus> Bodsda: ya thats my question >if it was ok ,wouldnt the ubuntu devs give you a direct update through update manager
[10:56] <indus> Bodsda: but they dont meaning there is a problem somewhere?
[10:57] <monkey_d_luffy> jimcooncat: one of them just got outdated (with the new buy)... but I still don't feel like throwing it away.  My OS drive is small (raptor hdd). So... not that many.
[10:57] <ha1331> ikonia pretty sure there shouldn't be ServerName on default file... well not sure about anything anymore, but I definately remember reading that somewhere
[10:57] <Bodsda> indus: uhm, im not sure, I know you can do direct upgrades from LTS to LTS, eg skipping non LTS releases
[10:57] <ikonia> ha1331: the default virtual host is still a virtual host - so I can't see how it would work without a servername on it
[10:57] <indus> Bodsda: hmm ya that does make sense
[10:58] <indus> Bodsda: so i guess its safe then
[10:58] <indus> Bodsda: you think i will make it if i upgrade dapper to jaunty?
[10:58] <indus> :)
[10:58] <ha1331> ok, now it has... problem remains
[10:59] <Bodsda> indus: it will take time, but yeah should be fine, backups are your friend :)
[10:59] <|ntegra|> when I save the file /etc/sudoers it says that I'm trying to save the file on a read-only disk
[10:59] <Bodsda> |ntegra|: not sure of the problem, but can you save any other file? eg. is the disk mounted ro?
[10:59] <erUSUL> |ntegra|: did you use visudo to edit it ?
[10:59] <indus> |ntegra|: you can only do it through recovery console
[11:00] <jonaskoelker> How do I make NetworkManager run $COMMAND whenever it connects to $SSID?
[11:00] <blackpixel> hey, someone know's why im starting to see a lot of issues with choppy sound in fresh installs of jaunty? i know it's something with pulseaudio, but what's exactly the problem?
[11:00] <indus> |ntegra|: restart and select recovery mode
[11:00] <jimcooncat> monkey_d_luffy: if I had a bunch and a lot of extra space, I'd put it to use like: two for a raid 0, and backup to a third with multiple versions, like rdiffbackup. Or RAID 5, needs four disks.
[11:01] <|ntegra|> ok
[11:01] <jonaskoelker> When I bind C-M-n to anything in ccsm and press C-M-n, nothing happens.  How do I fix this?

[11:02] <TheFunkbomb2> can someone help me play a DVD?
[11:02] <jimcooncat> trwww: This probably isn't the place for that, but you need to look at xming documentation
[11:02] <TheFunkbomb2> totem keeps saying I may not have permission
[11:03] <Bodsda> indus: dont worry, visudo doesnt seem to work.. for me at least anyway
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> TheFunkbomb: Did you install the libdvdcss2 package?
[11:05] <ewa123> 1442
[11:06] <ubuntunoob> can someone direct me to the cracking wep channel?
