[13:02] <Dr_Willis> nody:  you could alwyas reencode the video if its that critical for you
[13:03] <Dr_Willis> I use vlc here. and rarely have issues on my card.
[13:03] <nody> Dr_Willis: i'll try vlc now
[13:03] <Dr_Willis> vlc isent as optmized as it could be either. Theres ppa/daily/beta versions that have more features
[13:04] <nody> Dr_Willis: hmm, i would like the latest mplayer
[13:04] <nody> Dr_Willis: if it's as in repos
[13:04] <Dr_Willis> No idea. I use vlc 99% of  the time these days
[13:05] <khussein78> i have Dell vostro 1014 and i have problem with sound speakers , when i put headphone speakers did not mute
[13:06] <chikatambun> thanks ubottu, guntbert
[13:06] <chikatambun> this is it
[13:06] <chikatambun> i remote my.pc @laboratory from my.home through modem.dial.up> i using ssh connection here> if i am compiling the source on the remote host ... actually still on progress but then the connection is lost> what happen with the compiling... is it still going on or stop?
[13:06] <Dr_Willis> khussein78:  you checked the ubuntu forums for that yet? Thats such a common issue with lots of machines. Theres proberly a few dozen threads on the topic
[13:06] <Dr_Willis> chikatambun:  you want to learn to use the 'screen' command so you can reconnect.
[13:07] <Dr_Willis> chikatambun:  it proberly stopped.
[13:07] <aussie114> khussein78: go to menu>preferences>sound and set your output to the head set
[13:07] <guntbert> chikatambun: normally all programs you started are stopped - see what Dr_Willis already said :-)
[13:07] <chikatambun> screen on the remote host
[13:07] <chikatambun> ?
[13:07] <Dr_Willis> screen and the tweaked screen called 'byobu' are very very very handy to learn about for your ssh needs
[13:07] <Tarnoss> i had a the same sound issue but a kernel update solved it.
[13:08] <Dr_Willis> chikatambun:  yes.
[13:08] <Dr_Willis> chikatambun:  you could use it locally also if you wanted.
[13:08] <chikatambun> can you tell me how it work?
[13:08] <Dr_Willis> ssh in, run screen
[13:08] <chikatambun> ok i give it try
[13:08] <Dr_Willis> see the 100+ screen tutorials online for details.
[13:08] <Dr_Willis> !screen
[13:09] <chikatambun> !screen
[13:09] <Dr_Willis> or use 'byobu' instead of 'screen' (same tool, diffent setup)
[13:09] <Dr_Willis> theres also some other alterantives. but i cent rember their names
[13:10] <llutz> Dr_Willis: tmux
[13:10] <kandinski> I have a problem with some gnome program not letting me access my own .ssh keys
[13:10] <Dr_Willis> !info tmux
[13:10] <Dr_Willis> I recall one that let you drag/resize terminal windows  like the old dos days :) ansi gfx style
[13:10] <kandinski> a modal dialog asks me to "enter password to unlock the ssh key"
[13:10] <kandinski> don't know what password that is: this is my own laptop, mind you
[13:11] <kandinski> how can I reset that password?
[13:11] <histo> kandinski: boot up hold shift to get to the grub screen. boot in recovery mode. and reset the user password.
[13:11] <aussie114> it should be the password you set when you installed ubuntu
[13:11] <kandinski> histo: but I do have my own user password
[13:12] <chikatambun> kandinski: then sudo bash
[13:12] <raven> vlc only plays audio from ffmpeg -vcodec mpeg4 - solution?
[13:12] <histo> kandinski: then what password don't you know?
[13:12] <kandinski> histo: I know my account's user password, this is a modal dialog asking for a password that's "protecting the ssh key" when I try to git push
[13:12] <histo> kandinski: its the admin users password. The user that installed ubuntu
[13:13] <kandinski> histo: don't know what password I don't know, that's the point. It looks like a keylocker.
[13:13] <Dr_Willis> raven:  another player plays both audio and video of that file? or did your command just strip out the audio only?
[13:13] <kandinski> histo: I installed ubuntu under my current user
[13:13] <histo> kandinski:then its your users password
[13:13] <LjL> kandinski: you've tried the empty password, i suppose...?
[13:13] <steelbox> hi there!
[13:13] <kandinski> histo: the ssh key it is protecting access too is my own ssh key in /home/kandinski/.ssh
[13:13] <raven> Dr_Willis, no ffplay and xine plays it but i need vlc to play it
[13:13] <Dr_Willis> raven:  that is weird.
[13:14] <steelbox> I'm looking for a way to decrease the size of my CMakeLists.txt
[13:14] <Dr_Willis> raven:  vlc does play other vidoes fine however?
[13:14] <kandinski> LjL: yes, I have, and no dice either, but thanks for the advice
[13:14] <kandinski> this is vexing
[13:14] <steelbox> are there CMake experts here? :)
[13:14] <raven> Dr_Willis, yes
[13:15] <mek8630> can anyone help me figure out why my time keeps changing on Ubuntu?
[13:15] <sXs-> are there FGLRX experts here?
[13:16] <Dr_Willis> raven:  Try using winff to convert it - see what extra options it uses on its commandline
[13:16] <Visual`> mek8630: have a lokk to your clock
[13:16] <raven> ok
[13:16] <Visual`> have you a multi boot ?
[13:16] <Dr_Willis> raven:  also check the vlc command line output - for any errores/logs/messages
[13:16] <sXs-> mek8630, make sure your +3V battery is ok
[13:17] <mek8630> what is lokk?
[13:17] <dekroning> i don't have a /etc/usplash.conf file how to get it? i tried installing uspalsh, but i'm getting a dependencies problem: http://pastebin.com/AgPc8Ja9
[13:17] <Visual`> look :/
[13:17] <badabing> where do I find paid support?
[13:17] <dekroning> anyone know why i get that dependencie error ?
[13:17] <steelbox> are there CMake experts here?
[13:17] <sXs-> are there FGLRX experts here?
[13:17] <nody> Dr_Willis: yawn, vlc runs nicely but when big scenarios it lags like 1 second and 1 second and 1 second
[13:17] <nody> Dr_Willis: what video output should i use ?
[13:18] <nody> (vlc)
[13:18] <mek8630> sXs: Ubuntu is a second op. system and the time only changes on Ubuntu
[13:18] <llutz> dekroning: "sudo aptitude -f install" doesn't change anything?
[13:18] <badabing> where is expert help?
[13:18] <dekroning> llutz: no i get "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded."
[13:18] <Dr_Willis> nody:  try them all i guess. im using 'default' here
[13:19] <{g}> Hey People! Im looking for a way to tile windows in Ubuntu. Im using ubuntu 10. Any ideas?
[13:19] <Dr_Willis> badabing:  depends on what you need help with Im thinking. the ubuntu.com site may have some links for actual paid support also
[13:19] <brontosaurusrex> any thoughts on ASUS Eee PC 1201N with some sort of ubuntu?
[13:20] <Dr_Willis> {g}:  gnome/metacity cant do it by default. I THINK theres some way to make compiz do it. but i never tried. Some other windopw managers can do it. (sawfish i recall can)
[13:20] <mek8630> Visual: how do you make the writing turn red when you are talking to someone?
[13:20] <guntbert> kandinski: you can use ssh-add path/to/your/keyfile  to manually add the key to your ssh-agent - that way it is easier to try different passwords
[13:20] <{g}> Dr_Willis: what is compiz?
[13:20] <LjL> mek8630: mention their name.
[13:20] <Dr_Willis> !compiz | {g}
[13:20] <mek8630> LjL: did this work?
[13:20] <Dr_Willis> {g}:  its the fancy eyecandy window manager
[13:20] <LjL> mek8630: yes.
[13:20] <mek8630> LjL: thank you
[13:22] <{g}> Dr_Willis: is it enabled by default? i mean.. am i using it already?
[13:22] <nody> Dr_Willis: same default here too..
[13:22] <nody> Dr_Willis: what was the 3 last lines in xorg.conf please?
[13:22] <Dr_Willis> {g}:  if you got effects enabled. then yes.
[13:22] <nody> Dr_Willis: to disable .. something
[13:22] <kandinski> guntbert: thanks
[13:22] <Dr_Willis> nody:  my xorg.conf can be radically diffrent from yours.. depends on what you are refering to in the file
[13:22] <mek8630> anybody else have any other ideas besides the cmos battery as to why my system's time keeps changing?
[13:23] <DASPRiD> mek8630, define, changing
[13:23] <Tarnoss> anyone have a link to a howto for changing startup sounds in karmic? to custom, couldn't find anything on google but i may be blind or unlucky.
[13:23] <Dr_Willis> nody:  heres a pastebin -> http://pastebin.com/8B347bAS
[13:23] <mek8630> DASPRiD: ever so often the hour changes, the minutes stay the same but the hour changes usually like 3 or 4 hours back
[13:24] <Psycho> good day
[13:24] <DASPRiD> hm, do you run windows parallely?
[13:24] <Dr_Willis> mek8630:  sounds liek a classic 'timezone' setting
[13:24] <Easy> Hi all
[13:24] <sXs-> does anybody know how to change display brightness from crontab? i'm using fglrx
[13:24] <rocket16> DASPRiD: You can use VirtualBox, VMWare etc. Else, better to dual boot.
[13:24] <rocket16> Hello Easy, welcome to Ubuntu IRC, :)
[13:24] <DASPRiD> rocket16, ?
[13:24] <Dr_Willis> mek8630:  utc vs localtime type issue perhaps.
[13:25] <DASPRiD> mek8630, hm, do you run windows parallely?
[13:25] <Easy> Tks rocket16, need support for Beagle on Lucid
[13:25] <rocket16> DASPRiD: Oops, sorry friend, :( I mistook your question, :(
[13:25] <DASPRiD> rocket16, np ;)
[13:25] <mek8630> Dr_Willis: the timezone preference will not stay in the clock preferences it keeps disappearing.
[13:25] <InvaderZim> Why at this day and age a default recent Linux install still can't mount a FAT partition recognizing international charsets? (Always have to tweak fstab and put utf8)
[13:25] <rocket16> DASPRiD: :) Thank you
[13:25] <nody> Dr_Willis: tnx, u dont have it
[13:25] <mek8630> DASPRiD: YES
[13:26] <DASPRiD> mek8630, thats the reason :)
[13:26] <nody> Dr_Willis: how do i get latest vlc then ?
[13:26] <Dr_Willis> nody:  my card dosent support VPADU if thats what you wanted.
[13:26] <Psycho> i dl the ubuntu netbook edition, packed it on my USB drive, tried to boot from it --> error: no OS found. does anybody know the problem?
[13:26] <Dr_Willis> nody:  ppa repos, or use source.
[13:26] <nody> Dr_Willis: yea why not?
[13:26] <Tarnoss> fstab doesn't like to feel forgotten so it gets you to twiddle once in a while
[13:26] <nody> Dr_Willis: ppa = ?
[13:26] <Easy> Beagle very inconsistent in finding results, I can force it to show correct results by stopping/starting the daemon from the gui, but then 2nd attempt to Search, finds none 9again)
[13:26] <Dr_Willis> !ppa
[13:26] <mek8630> DASPRiD: aww that figures well thanks everyone that helped
[13:26] <nody> Dr_Willis: ok ppa for vlc how do i find it
[13:26] <val_> InvaderZim, there are only ANSI and English language
[13:26] <sXs-> does anybody know how to change display brightness from crontab? i'm using fglrx
[13:26] <BluesKaj> 'Morning all
[13:27] <rocket16> Morning BluesKaj, :D
[13:27] <InvaderZim> val_: huh?
[13:27] <DASPRiD> mek8630, simple fix is to run ntp-updates on boot (of both systems)
[13:27] <Dr_Willis> nody:  g o o g l e   perhaps? :) I dont use the ppa. Theres the PPA homepage.. but proberly other hits on google for docs on using it.
[13:27] <val_> that keybiard layout indicator in lucid is so  lame, hot to put the old back?
[13:27] <BluesKaj> hi rocket16
[13:27] <rocket16> BluesKaj: :)
[13:27] <Easy> another Beagle question, how can u tell if the indexer (beagled) is actually indexing, can u control it?
[13:28] <sXs-> does anybody know how to change display brightness from crontab? i'm using fglrx
[13:28] <m_tadeu> hi...I installed ubuntu server in vmplayer but the cursor keys don't work
[13:28] <mek8630> DASPRiD: I do not know what ntp-updates are. Are they just system updates?
[13:28] <val_> InvaderZim, linux developers dont' give a flying duck for international support, they live in USA and plain latin letters are all that they need
[13:28] <{g}> Anybody an idea where the "CompizConfig Settings Manager" is?
[13:28] <InvaderZim> val_: it figures...
[13:28] <{g}> the internet says to tile windows "enable the Grid plugin in the CompizConfig Settings Manager".
[13:28] <{g}> but where is it?
[13:28] <DASPRiD> mek8630, goto system -> systemsettings -> time and date
 ccsm
[13:29] <rocket16> {g}: Sure, to to System-Prefrences-Compiz Config Settings manager
[13:29] <sXs-> {g}: 'ccsm' in terminal
[13:29] <guntbert> mek8630: in any case set your time config in ubuntu so that it expects the hardware clock to show local time (because windows can only handle this setting) and not UTC
[13:29] <DASPRiD> mek8630, then unlock and in configuration, select: syncrhonize… and select a time server
[13:29] <sXs-> does anybody know how to change display brightness from crontab? i'm using fglrx
[13:29] <o123hallo1> hallo. ich habe xubuntu 10.04. mir ist heute folgendes passiert: ich habe meine fstab datei bearbeitet (ich wollte eine usb festplatte automatisch beim start einhängen lassen, das habe ich wohl nicht richtig gemacht). nun war unter dem startbildschirm eine meldung zu sehen, dass ich mit "S" den vorgang überspringen könne und mit "M" das problem manuell beheben kann.
[13:29] <VCoolio> sXs-: there are apps for changing brightness during daytime, xflux, redshift
[13:30] <o123hallo1> nun kommt das, was mich verwundert, wenn ich das m drücke komme ich in den Textmodus. ABER ich habe anscheinend root rechte, ohne ein passwort eingegeben zu haben. Und das hat mich stutzig gemacht.
[13:30] <llutz> !de | o123hallo1
[13:30] <o123hallo1> sry, wrong channel
[13:30] <{g}> rocket16: hmm.. i use the german ubuntu version. there is no "compiz" in system preferences.
[13:30] <nody> Dr_Willis: This source is signed with key:View key, what do i do with this key ?
[13:30] <mek8630> guntbert good idea and DASPRiD thank you for your advice I will try both
[13:30] <{g}> sXs-: thanks, apt-getting it now.
[13:30] <Dr_Willis> nody:  No idea. Not sure what you even mean.
[13:30] <nody> Dr_Willis: -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- this one
[13:30] <rocket16> {g}: I see. No problem, first press Alt+F2, and in the Box that appears, enter: ccsm and press Enter
[13:30] <guntbert> mek8630: Good luck :-)
[13:31] <Dr_Willis> nody:  with the ppas theres a command you use to add the 'ppa' repo to your repos. and then update/install the package
[13:31] <{g}> rocket16: i always have a root terminal open :)
[13:31] <sXs-> VCoolio: hmm, thanks
[13:31] <DASPRiD> guntbert, afaik windows 7 started using utc, didnt it?
[13:31] <rocket16> {g}: Sure, no problem. ccsm in that will work, most possibly, provided that it is installed
[13:31] <nody> Dr_Willis: how do i enable that key i can tseem to upgrade now i put c-kron/vlc in sources.list
[13:31] <guntbert> DASPRiD: no idea ....
[13:32] <{g}> rocket16: yepp, apt-getted it. looking for that grid plugin now...
[13:32] <Dr_Willis> nody:  how/where are you even getting it from? what URL?
[13:33] <VCoolio> sXs-: I like redshift best, very gradual change, xflux is quite sudden http://jonls.dk/redshift/
[13:33] <nody> Dr_Willis: hmm ok that was not right it doenst have lucid

[13:41] <nody> Dr_Willis: what does this mean and hot do i install it?
[13:41] <{g}> Dr_Willis: the name is just "grid"?

[13:43] <InvaderZim> hemza: when it finishes, you can restart and choose between gnome or kde from the login screen
[13:43] <cocoin> but  i  think  you  needn't
[13:44] <rocket16> Pidgin uses too much memory, nearly 120 MB. Any help?
[13:44] <val_> i remember when gnome and kde were fitting on 1 cd, not that bloated mess they are now lol
[13:44] <Ubuntou> do someone know how to make gimp better than Ps ?
[13:44] <azolap> hey.. does anyone know about using e2fsck to repair a damaged hard disk? i ran it overnight and it did this badblocks check.. and now it says "Error reading block xxxxxx while getting next inode from scan. Ignore error<y>?" and "Force rewrite<y>?" .. it does this for thousands of blocks. i have been holding down the enter key for 10 minutes to say yes to them all, is this normal??
[13:44] <InvaderZim> rocket16: which memory? shared or just mem?
[13:44] <val_> that keybiard layout indicator in lucid is so  lame, hot to put the old back?
[13:44] <{g}> Dr_Willis: strange. there is no icon with a questionmark in my windows section of ccsm.

[13:44] <hemza> InvaderZim : tnx .... i want to ask about Bluetooth drivers
[13:45] <nody> Dr_Willis: if u have same graphic card like me why does my pdau work then?
[13:45] <{g}> Dr_Willis: any idea why you have GRID and i dont?
[13:45] <Dr_Willis> {g}:  you did ask in #compiz about it?
[13:45] <LjL> azolap: well, it certainly means a seriously corrupted filesystem... but you can stop it from asking you by using the "-y" option, which always answers "y" to all questions
[13:45] <{g}> Dr_Willis: yes. nobody answered.

[13:45] <Dr_Willis> nody:  that card has older versions that DONT have the feature. and newer versions that do have the feature. its the 'cutoff' for the feature.
[13:45] <Dr_Willis> val_:  thats what i was thinking
[13:45] <{g}> val_: what is "pludin-extras"?
[13:45] <hemza> InvaderZim : i have toshiba laptop with integrated bluetooth ... but it does not work
[13:46] <Dr_Willis> nody:  the ones with the lesser amount of ram - dont have the feature
[13:46] <nody> Dr_Willis: so i should not use pdau ?
[13:46] <Dr_Willis> nody:  no idea. I dont know what card you have.
[13:46] <nody> Dr_Willis: nvidia 8800 gls
[13:46] <Dr_Willis> nody:  I dont really need the feature that ive ever seen.
[13:46] <Dr_Willis> nody:  and your ram amount is?
[13:46] <nody> Dr_Willis: ½tera

[13:46] <nody> Dr_Willis: no ½giga
[13:46] <cocoin> yeah
[13:46] <cocoin> i  agree
[13:47] <LjL> azolap: no, it can't be toggled while it's running, sorry. may i suggest, erm, that you put something heavy on your Y key? ;)
[13:47] <Dr_Willis> nody:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VDPAU   says what cards have it - i recall
[13:47] <{g}> Dr_Willis: any idea why you have GRID and i dont?
[13:48] <Dr_Willis> {g}:  look in the package manager for extra compiz plugins
[13:48] <{g}> Dr_Willis: apt-cache search extra compiz plugins?
[13:48] <azolap> haha yes that is a good idea. LjL i am running e2fsck from the ubuntu livecd because i couldn't boot up ubuntu normally (i dropped my laptop soi think the hard disk got damaged).. do you know if it is likely that after e2fsck has finished i will be able to boot into ubuntu normally again?
[13:49] <LjL> azolap: it's unlikely. and it's also unlikely that fsck alone will recover your drive. instead, i'd back it up immediately on some other medium, before it fails completely.
[13:49] <rautamiekka> azolap: If the drive is physically damaged, no.
[13:49] <LjL> !recover > azolap    (azolap, see the private message from ubottu)
[13:49] <guntbert> {g}: grid is now included in compiz so you're unlikely to need to fetch from git unless you've an old version of compiz.  (from http://wiki.compiz.org/Plugins/Grid)
[13:50] <nody> Dr_Willis: hey man
[13:50] <nody> Dr_Willis: mplayer does not lag :P
[13:50] <{g}> guntbert: well, i simply dont have it. will try to install "compiz-fusion-plugins-extra" now.
[13:51] <hemza> what is "compiz-fusion-plugins-extra" ?
[13:51] <rocket16> InvaderZim: Any way to fix the problem, friend?
[13:51] <InvaderZim> rocket16: which one?
[13:51] <rocket16> InvaderZim: I mean, the Pidgin memory consumption? :)
[13:52] <rocket16> hemza: It is a collection of a few extra plugins for Compiz fusion.
[13:52] <riddlebox> whats a good app to convert video to other formats?
[13:52] <hemza> is there a vedeo chat messanger in  ubuntu
[13:52] <{g}> Dr_Willis: damn, looks like one needs a numpad for that... will try to reconfigure it for my notebook.
[13:52] <rocket16> hemza: Empathy will do it.
[13:52] <val_> is there desktop indexing tool; for lucid ubvntu?
[13:52] <rocket16> val_: Beagle is there, a nice tool.
[13:52] <pkkm> How to save a man page without word-wrapping to a file?
[13:53] <val_> just "beagle" ?
[13:53] <hemza> is it work with Yahoo , MSN
[13:53] <rocket16> !beagle | val_
[13:53] <val_> and which is the best?
[13:53] <rocket16> hemza: Sure it will. Also, Kopete and aMSN are other alternatives (aMSN is not so supportive)
[13:54] <azolap> LjL.. oh right, well you see i have a dual boot installed and it is really the files stored on my windows 7 user account which i want to recover.. i thought if i could get linux to boot i mgiht be able to mount the windows partition and backup my files :s
[13:55] <LjL> azolap: well can't you do the same thing from the live cd though?
[13:55] <hemza> i have Empathy ... but how to start cam
[13:56] <rocket16> val_: To me, Beagle is the best
[13:56] <rocket16> !best | val_
[13:56] <Swian> can anyone help with ubuntu 10.04 starting in low graphics mode?
[13:56] <golden> 怎么大家都在说英文的啊？
[13:56] <azolap> oh that'sa good point, i'll try
[13:56] <nody> Dr_Willis: well pdau works with me hmmm
[13:56] <golden> 有没有说中文的？
[13:56] <nody> Dr_Willis: and we got same cards
[13:56] <BluesKaj> !cn | golden
[13:56] <golden> 原来如此。谢谢！
[13:57] <{g}> Hmmm.. i cannot get the compiz GRID plugin to work. I activated it. But when I hit those keys - nothing happens. Any idea?
[13:57] <tmobileuk> hi, i am a complete newbie to xubuntu and would like to have internet access via my T Mobile Huawei Mobile  Connect Model E160 usb modem stick. can anyone help me??
[13:57] <slimjimflim> anyone know of a command to implement optical character recognition on a jpg?
[13:57] <LjL> slimjimflim: there's several...
[13:57] <slimjimflim> ie. jpg -> txt
[13:57] <LjL> slimjimflim: tesseract-ocr, ocrad, clara, gocr, ocropus
[13:58] <azolap> LjL.. i tried to mount my windows drive and it says "Cannot mount volume" and under more details it says.. "Error reading bootsector: input/output error Failed to mount '/dev/sda1': Input/output error NTFS is either inconsistent or there is a hardware fault"
[13:58] <slimjimflim> ocrad doesn't seem to do jpg
[13:58] <slimjimflim> it needs pnm i think
[13:58] <LjL> azolap: then it won't work even if you try to mount if from linux. your HD is most probably gone or very much about to be.
[13:58] <LjL> slimjimflim: well, it's easy enough to convert. install the package "netpbm" and use "pnmtojpeg filename.pnm | your-ocr-program"
[13:59] <azolap> LjL is there a chance the windows user files are still on it? what do you recommend i do to try and recover them? :(
[13:59] <slimjimflim> LjL: ty
[13:59] <vlt> tmobileuk: Should work right out of the box
[13:59] <LjL> slimjimflim: sorry, i meant "jpegtopnm", not "pnmtojpeg"
[13:59] <tmobileuk> vlt, it does not
[13:59] <slimjimflim> right
[14:00] <LjL> azolap: first thing i recommend that you try making an image of your drive (or windows partition) so that, no matter what happens, you'll still have a copy of your data to try recovering later.
[14:00] <vlt> tmobileuk: I used the E160 with 9.04 successfully already
[14:00] <LjL> azolap: otherwise, it's very likely that everything you do will cause further HD corruption, and you'll lose the little that remains
[14:01] <siropio> hi could anyone provide me with a good HOW TO about installation of mod_security on 9.10?
[14:01] <vlt> tmobileuk: When you plug it in it should be available in the network manager applet
[14:01] <wieshka> slimjimflim: there are several OCR open source solutions - try them which is better for you
[14:02] <wieshka> one is better for black&white
[14:02] <wieshka> other for latin letters only
[14:02] <azolap> LjL oh right ok... how can i make an image of my windows partition? can that be done from ubuntu? also the windows partition is 400gb, how am i supposed to back all that up? i only want to recover a small part of it anyway :s
[14:02] <Vilemaxim> azolap, I recommend myrescue to image the drive
[14:02] <wieshka> other for old letters
[14:02] <Pudgy> Hi all, has anyone gotten Herrie working (actually producing sound) in Ubuntu? Can't seem to get working and the documentation is quite bad.
[14:02] <azolap> o ok thanks Vilemaxim
[14:03] <LjL> azolap: well, you certainly do need another big enough drive... but how much of those 400GB is actually taken? you can compress the image so that it takes up less, depending on how much free space you have
[14:03] <wieshka> Vilemaxim: i recommend to do backups before installing other OS if you are not sure what you are doing :)
[14:03] <Vilemaxim> azolap, read the ma pages, but basicily it will copy the partitions an ignore the bad parts until it got all the good parts
[14:04] <magicianlord> i need to format an sd card on sdb to fat32. what is the terminal command for this?
[14:04] <Vilemaxim> wieshka, I recommend doing backups even if you are
[14:04] <oCean_> Pudgy: you installed it from the repos?
[14:04] <Vilemaxim> backups  - good!
[14:04] <wieshka> Vilemaxim: aha :) i prefer clonezilla for full backups, duplicity for incremental backups :)
[14:05] <Pudgy> oCean_: Right, with aptitude install.
[14:05] <wieshka> and clonezilla has stable ubuntu karmic built :)
[14:05] <Vilemaxim> wieshka, clonezilla don't do anything special for failing drives.... right?
[14:06] <azolap> oh ok, well thanks for the advice LjL and Vilemaxim , i will try to image the drive using myrescue. but one more thing, am i supposed to write the image to another hard disk connected as a slave or something?
[14:06] <wieshka> Vilemaxim: they are so many options - i supouse that there is way for failing drives also
[14:06] <Yuki> hi is this where i can get ubuntu help?
[14:06] <Vilemaxim> wieshka, he was getting i/o errors
[14:06] <wieshka> i only do  some configuration about encryption / compressions
[14:06] <wieshka> my drives are healhty :)
[14:06] <LjL> azolap: well, or one connected to USB or something. the official help suggests using gddrescue, by the way: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery#Data Recovery from damaged filesystem or drive
[14:06] <Yuki> is there a way i can stop ubuntu software centre in the middle of downloading a package?
[14:07] <LjL> azolap: unfortunately gddrescue doesn't seem to support compression :(
[14:07] <Vilemaxim> wieshka, I run a repair shop and I've tried a bunch of solutions... including clonezilla,but myrescue worked out the best for me.
[14:07] <oCean_> Pudgy: ah, I though the problem was installing the thing. Not sure how to make it play music..
[14:07] <LjL> Yuki: of downloading, yes (although i don't know how, i just know it can be done safely), of installing, *no*
[14:07] <Vilemaxim> wieshka, though I'm always willing to learn something new :)
[14:07] <Adamantus10> Ubuntu keeps opening random folders. Just now the software center loaded itself..
[14:07] <azolap> oh ok i see
[14:08] <wieshka> Vilemaxim: in my case i use clonezilla for daily use - i have a good number of technicaly identical computers and i am setting on them OS with clonezilla
[14:09] <Pudgy> oCean_: Hmmm... the strange thing is that it doesn't produce sound, just out of the box. I'd hoped that someone would notice that... and preferrably fix it ;) Have you got any idea where I should report this?
[14:10] <hemza> i download  KDE desktop , it ask me to choose GDM or KDM display manager
[14:10] <wieshka> Pudgy: what is your problem with sound ?
[14:10] <Vilemaxim> wieshka, yeah... clonezilla seems cool. I'm been waiting to play with it a little more for the your kinds situation.
[14:10] <oCean_> Pudgy: I'm not sure of it's usage, so maybe you have to press a key to make it play. Have you read the manual page? Not sure where you could ask though
[14:11] <wieshka> Vilemaxim: the best solution - set up clonezilla server :)
[14:11] <ipingnazi_> haloo
[14:11] <InvaderZim> hemza: you choose
[14:11] <InvaderZim> hemza: you can always change it later
[14:11] <oCean_> Pudgy: you've been on http://herrie.info/? There's also mentioning of irc channel
[14:11] <Vilemaxim> wieshka, what's your take on automated installs plus puppet, vs drive images
[14:11] <InvaderZim> hemza: its actually asking for the LOGIN manager... its just a different graphical interface
[14:12] <InvaderZim> hemza: if you want a new experience try kdm
[14:12] <Pudgy> wieshka: My sound is working fine. Out-of-the-box ubuntu 10.4, "sudo aptitude install herrie" installs fine, but doesn't produce sound. I've read man-pages to use herrie, that's not the problem. It just fails to produce sound ;)
[14:12] <Pudgy> oCean_: Ah, I've been there, must have missed the irc chan. Thanks.
[14:14] <wieshka> Vilemaxim: for my situation the ebst choise is clonezilla
[14:14] <wieshka> and the clone -image
[14:14] <wieshka> has autoinstall/configure script inside writen on bash what runs on first boot after clone :)
[14:14] <hemza> InvaderZim : TNX
[14:14] <wieshka> thats my solution
[14:14] <wieshka> :)
[14:14] <itheos> hi
[14:15] <InvaderZim> hemza: you can revert back by running the command dpkg-reconfigure kdm (or gdm)
[14:15] <wieshka> and all dependencies are overwritten with data what device needs. I use HDD ID as device uniq ID :)
[14:15] <Vilemaxim> wieshka, I've been trying to work out... What do you do to maintain apps?
[14:15] <itheos> when i log in to ubuntu, i get an error "Could not update file /var/lib/gdm/ICEauthority" i changed some permissions i think so this has occured. how to solve it?
[14:15] <wieshka> and by this ID it asks to server what to configure and how
[14:15] <Yuki> is there a way i can stop ubuntu software centre in the middle of downloading a package AND getting it to not install it (the package being downloaded)?
[14:16] <jrib> itheos: you should tell the channel exactly what permissions you changed
[14:16] <gonzzor> I've just upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 but I'm unable to install nvidia binary drivers. I've installed nvidia-current and it fails to build the dkms module since it can't find the package source. What is going on here?
[14:16] <wieshka> Vilemaxim: i have my own repo, becaouse, basicly main functionality for computer is based on self writen software/scripts
[14:17] <wieshka> iw rite scripts/ other developers software :)
[14:17] <ross> hello
[14:17] <itheos> jrib and the channel, i did "chown -R user:user /" and "chmod -R a+rwxXst /" to the best of my knowledge
[14:17] <wieshka> it is advanced use of Ubuntu :)
[14:17] <jrib> itheos: reinstall
[14:17] <itheos> :(
[14:17] <Guest20334> what is the command to exit out of desktop environment so that you can log in a different desktop environment
[14:17] <itheos> jrib, why so?
[14:17] <Vilemaxim> wieshka, mix os environment or all linux?
[14:18] <Guest20334> what is the command to exit out of desktop environment so that you can log in a different desktop environment
[14:18] <hemza> when i had installed ubuntu , i downloaded new themes but i failes to istall theme ....
[14:18] <jrib> itheos: because you basically broke the permissions on every file in your system.  (don't do that when you reinstall)  Why did you decide to do that?
[14:18] <jrib> Guest20334: just click the log out button in your panel
[14:18] <wieshka> Vilemaxim: all is linux
[14:18] <itheos> jrib, i didnt know it would do this. cant i get the list of original permissions? or someway to undo it?
[14:18] <hemza> those theme was GDM-NAME .... are they have ralation with gdm display manager
[14:18] <Guest20334> jrib: i would have done that if I could
[14:19] <Vilemaxim> wieshka, want to trade jobs :)
[14:19] <jrib> itheos: reinstall is the easiest way
[14:19] <jrib> Guest20334: why can't you?
[14:19] <Guest20334> jrib: i am stuck in a desktop environment that doesn't work
[14:19] <jrib> Guest20334: what desktop environment?
[14:19] <Guest20334> jrib: KDE
[14:19] <gonzzor> What does 185 mean in nvidia--185-kernel-source?
[14:19] <Guest20334> jrib: i want to exit out but there is no option
[14:19] <jrib> Guest20334: try #kubuntu
[14:19] <Guest20334> jrib: tell me the command to get out
[14:20] <jrib> Guest20334: I don't know it for kde
[14:20] <Guest20334> jrib: me neither that is why someone must help!!
[14:20] <slimjimflim> LjL: well i got it but it came out all screwed up
[14:20] <wieshka> Vilemaxim: now i am already 4 days working on one problem
[14:20] <jrib> Guest20334: you could just ctrl-alt-f1 and kill your user, but #kubuntu may know a more elegant way
[14:20] <slimjimflim> the ocr
[14:20] <wieshka> nobody can help me :)
[14:20] <demifuror> hey guys, ive downloaded an iso file. i was hoping i could mount the iso and it would run automatically, as if it were a physical cd
[14:20] <demifuror> the thing is, the launch program is an exe, and if i mount the iso, and try to run it in wine, it eventually crashes. is there anyway i can make it run without needing wine?
[14:20] <Guest20334> jrib: what is the command for killing the user?
[14:21] <wieshka> i have problem with wireless connection in CLI with wpa_supplicant
[14:21] <Vilemaxim> wieshka, what's your problem?
[14:21] <wieshka> basicly i can connect only non-encrypted network
[14:21] <Adamantus10> demifuror: I tried the mounting option and ended up just burning it to disc because of an error.
[14:21] <jrib> Guest20334: you may use some incantation of pkill for example
[14:21] <LjL> slimjimflim, try another. anyway OCR software on linux is generally not very good :( don't expect fine results
[14:21] <hemza> wieshka : about what?
[14:21] <slimjimflim> crap
[14:22] <Guest20334> jrib: tell me the command!!
[14:22] <Guest20334> jrib: ??
[14:22] <slimjimflim> LjL: what os is better?
[14:22] <wieshka> ok now i runned a deamon script, what checks, if there is no internet connection other, then it tries to find non encrypted network and connects to it
[14:22] <wieshka> but problems are with encrypted networks
[14:22] <wieshka> now i am trying to turnoff hw encryption
[14:22] <LjL> slimjimflim: what?
[14:22] <hemza> i will restart my pc ... to try KDE
[14:22] <Dr_Willis> demifuror:  i tend to copy all teh binaries from a a cd to  (for example )  the .wine/drive_C/GameInstall dir.   then  run the installer from there.
[14:23] <Dr_Willis> demifuror:  some games are ok with it. some are not.
[14:23] <Guest20334> what is the command to exit out of desktop environment so that you can log in a different desktop environment
[14:23] <Vilemaxim> wieshka, yeah, I got nothing.
[14:23] <slimjimflim> LjL: you said ocr software on linux is generally not very good...is there another os that has better software?
[14:23] <demifuror> its not a game though, its justa  tutorial dvd
[14:23] <LjL> slimjimflim: yes, windows.
[14:23] <demifuror> i would have thought wine cold handle it
[14:23] <Dr_Willis> demifuror:  it whould work then i imagine
[14:23] <slimjimflim> LjL: know of any good software for windows to do it?
[14:23] <Dr_Willis> demifuror:  unless its badly written program
[14:23] <wieshka> how can i give modparams to modprobe ?
[14:23]  * slimjimflim has wine
[14:24] <LjL> slimjimflim: yes, but they are not free
[14:24] <slimjimflim> i'm willing to pay
[14:24] <wieshka> man helped :)
[14:24] <slimjimflim> LjL: this is for a very important matter of law
[14:25] <LjL> slimjimflim: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OCR_Software i think i've used Abbyy and found it good
[14:25] <slimjimflim> k ty
[14:25] <wieshka> LjL: Abby is good, but not open source
[14:25] <LjL> slimjimflim: actually it's even also available for linux according to WP
[14:25] <jrib> Guest20334: I suggested you try #kubuntu, did they know a better way?
[14:25] <LjL> wieshka: [15:24:00] <LjL> slimjimflim: yes, but they are not free
[14:25] <itheos> ok so is there any way to reinstall my system and keep the settings and installed programs from the old install?
[14:26] <Guest20334> jrib: ok how about this tell me the command to restart the damn system
[14:26] <demifuror> is there a coimmand to type in terminal that opens the current directory in a file browser window?
[14:26] <Guest20334> jrib: nevermind
[14:26] <Dr_Willis> itheos:  user settings are in their Home dir. You can backup that.  as for installed apps. You can generate a list of theose and reinstall them
[14:26] <schultza> I'm trying to get a USB to Cisco console working. What is the program I need to be using?
[14:26] <LjL> !info cuneiform | slimjimflim, oh, there's also this one in ubuntu, it's new and i haven't tried it, but it seems interesting according to wikipedia
[14:26] <wieshka> Lj slimjimflim i have worked with OCR software solutions what cost hundreds of thousands - they all are based on ABBYY reader
[14:26] <wieshka> what makes me to think that abbyy is the best :)
[14:27] <schultza> !console
[14:27] <jrib> demifuror: nautilus PATH
[14:27] <demifuror> cheers! :D
[14:27] <jrib> demifuror: so... « nautilus . »
[14:27] <itheos> Guest20334, alt+sys req+reisub if its hung. its for a safe restart after the pc has hung. consult others before doing that.
[14:27] <Twain_32> hello everyone ;)
[14:28] <Twain_32> can some body help me ? :) im new on linux :) just today installed :)
[14:28] <Twain_32> how can i install softwares :)
[14:28] <Dr_Willis> !manual | Twain_32
[14:28] <Twain_32> !manual
[14:28] <Dr_Willis> 'read' what the bot said.. :)
[14:28] <jrib> Guest20334: if you have a shell, then your best bet is to find the equivalent of gnome-session-save on kde (ask #kubuntu), if you just want to reboot « sudo reboot ».  If both of those fail, what itheos said
[14:28] <dbr> I have an issue with my terminal echo. It will lock up for about 1s every 5s or so. This happens no matter if I'm logged in via TTY console, xfce-terminal or ssh. It will still accept input, but output just locks up, so I can't see what I type until it unfreezes. It's extremely annoying. Any idea of what may cause this?
[14:28] <Twain_32> :D:D:D sure
[14:28] <Twain_32> thanks
[14:28] <itheos> Twain_32, welcome to the linux world :)
[14:29] <Twain_32> Thanks Itheos :)
[14:29] <Adamantus10> On this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/advanced-topics/C/index.html Does the "About users and group" link work for you? If not I'll report it.
[14:29] <wieshka> dbr:  it is over ssh or local ?
[14:29] <Dr_Willis> Twain_32:  the 'ubuntu software center'  is rather steraight forwared. unless theres somthing specific you are wanting to install ?
[14:29] <itheos> Dr_Willis, anyways to restore the permissions? :D
[14:29] <Dr_Willis> itheos:  what permissions?
[14:30] <dbr> wieshka ssh or local doesn't matter
[14:30] <dbr> it's also with zsh or bash
[14:30] <mawst> Is there something "kess stable" about 64 bit ubuntu?
[14:30] <mawst> less*
[14:30] <raven24> I have a weird problem with an aiptek drawing pad. when i "click" (touch the surface) afterwards the cursor is only moveable while holding down the pen, i have to move it away and back again to get it working properly. similar to this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-aiptek/+bug/321687, but wacom driver
[14:30] <itheos> Dr_Willis, i get "Could not update file /var/lib/gdm/ICEauthority" when i start my system
[14:30] <wieshka> dbr:  if the problem with locking stdout or input are over ssh it might me a iinternet connection :) if it is local, i dont now - i have this problems only if my CPU is running 100% :)
[14:30] <e66> how do I create ssh tunnel in my ubuntu box?
[14:31] <e66> I have a vps
[14:31] <wieshka> e66:  you mean tunnel over ssh ?
[14:31] <Dr_Willis> itheos:  weird. itheos  that directory is totally empty here.
[14:31] <wieshka> or just ssh connection ?
[14:31] <Dr_Willis> itheos:  oh wait. i have a .ICEauthority :) ya forgot the .
[14:31] <itheos> Dr_Willis, it has hidden files. ctrl+h will show them
[14:31] <itheos> :/
[14:31] <danutz> can someone help me configuring a dns server(guide me) I already tried alot of tutorials but I still haven`t done what I want....can someone help me please?
[14:32] <e66> wieshka: yes,
[14:32] <llutz> e66: http://bodhizazen.net/Tutorials/VPN-Over-SSH/

[14:32] <e66> llutz: thnks, lets see.
[14:32] <Dr_Willis> danutz:  one has to ask. why do you need a DNS server?
[14:32] <itheos> Dr_Willis, thanks. i will try that.
[14:32] <wieshka> llutz: e66 i prefer VPN :) not tunnel over ssh :)
[14:32] <Dr_Willis> danutz:  well i mean. why do you need to run your own? :)
[14:33] <llutz> wieshka: do whatever you like
[14:33] <itheos> jrib, thanks you too :)
[14:33] <danutz> I want to learn more about this..nothing special..I just want to know..and I think is a good reason for me:)
[14:33] <siriusnova> anyone try a bluetooth keyboard
[14:33] <siriusnova> do they work well?
[14:33] <e66> wieshka: I want to make a tunnel so that I can test my facebook apps (not browsing). facebook is banned here.
[14:33] <Dr_Willis> danutz:  theres a few books out on running BIND i recall seeing downloadable/html/pdf versions. You may want to check out
[14:33] <e66> wieshka: do you think its possible by vpn.
[14:34] <jrib> itheos: you messed up more files, you need to reinstall
[14:34] <wieshka> e66: it is possible if also VPN isnt blocked :)
[14:34] <danutz> willis I already tried the guide that is on ubuntu.com and other tutorials but I don`t know why isn`t working..that`s why I need help...
[14:34] <e66> wieshka: how come vpn blocked? is it about port?"
[14:35] <itheos> jrib, ok thanks but isnt there any way so that i can retain the softwares installed and the settings. settings wil be from the user dir. what about the programs? make a script and reinstall?
[14:35] <wieshka> e66: if you sys admins who blocked the facebook, have average router - they can block any data if they want :)
[14:35] <sllide> how do i move the close button and stuff to the right again?
[14:35] <Dr_Willis> danutz:  all i know on running dns/bind i learned from a book i skimmed/read about 4 yrs ago.. i dont run the service
[14:35] <jrib> !clone
[14:36] <jrib> itheos: see above
[14:36] <danutz> ok
[14:36] <Dr_Willis> !resetpanel | sllide
[14:36] <wieshka> if i remeber correctly also WRT54GL linksys router what is very popular, also have a feature to block vpn connection truth the AP
[14:36] <jrib> !controls | sllide
[14:36] <Dr_Willis> !manual | sllide
[14:36] <e66> wieshka: no no. they just blocked facebook.com. https works
[14:36] <jrib> that's enough reading for sllide for the whole weekend :)
[14:36] <itheos> wow
[14:36] <e66> wieshka: I can browser facebook.
[14:37] <azolap> Vilemaxim, i have downloaded myrescue and have got an external usb hdd plugged in ready for the image file.. how do i get myrescue to make the image of my windows partition and copy it to the external hdd? also do i need to format the external hd first?
[14:37] <itheos> jrib, thanks man :)
[14:37] <e66> But my apps dont work, as they tend to work with http and facebook.com
[14:37] <wieshka> e66:  hehe - i supouse they blocked facebook DNS name
[14:37] <jrib> itheos: you know that when you need access to a file your user isn't the owner of you just use sudo from now on?
[14:37] <wieshka> try facebook IP adress
[14:37] <sllide> thanks ya all
[14:37] <wieshka> and add it to your /etc/hosts
[14:38] <wieshka> and everything will work :)
[14:38] <sllide> but i like only needed resetpanel
[14:38] <sllide> hehe
[14:38] <e66> wieshka: yeah. only dns.
[14:38] <wieshka> then get facebook IP adress
[14:38] <Twain_32> mmm guys! i have rad a tutorial about command line but something i can't understand
[14:38] <jrib> sllide: didn't you want !controls?
[14:38] <itheos> jrib, i am root now. i have logged in as root. i wont have problems doing it, will i?
[14:38] <wieshka> and use it :)
[14:38] <Twain_32> how to work with command "CD"
[14:38] <LjL> e66: try <IP_ADDRESS>
[14:38] <gorski> anyone maybe know how ~$ sensors show 30 C lower temperature of the cpu?
[14:38] <sllide> maybe i wanted it
[14:38] <sllide> but resetpanel works :3
[14:38] <zl> ////////////
[14:38] <jrib> itheos: yeah, that's fine
[14:38] <gorski> gorski@mashina:~$ sensors

[14:39] <FloodBot3> gorski: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:39] <e66> LjL:  is it transparent proxy??
[14:39] <LjL> e66: no, it is the IP of facebook
[14:39] <llutz> Twain_32: "cd" lowercase, read " help cd"
[14:39] <wieshka> and for your apps, write ip address what work for you to /etc/hosts as facebook.com (maybe subdomain needed for apps) - and your apps also will work with out DNS name :)
[14:39] <jrib> !cli > Twain_32
[14:39] <itheos> jrib, thanks :)
[14:40] <e66> LjL: I can broswe, But the problem is the facebook dev sdk lib. they load code from facebook site they are hardcoded facebook.com. If there was a single lib, I couldn't have changed it.
[14:40] <Dr_Willis> gorski:  sensors are often off a lot. depending
[14:40] <Assid> hey
[14:41] <db_loco> Brand new ubuntu user with no programming experience.  I managed to work out that my pc video camera is a 'Microdia PC Camera (SN9C110)' using lsusb, but have been trying to get a driver and I am very lost. Found out that kernel migth have it, but then advised (by the website) not to load kernel if I am new to Linux.  could anyone help me find the right source for this camera drive?
[14:41] <LjL> e66, just do what wieshka is telling you, add that IP to /etc/host with the name 'facebook.com'.
[14:41] <e66> LjL:  Yah, I am just doint thig
[14:41] <gorski> Dr_Willis, how's that, hddtemp showing ok value, but cpu not even clese
[14:41] <e66> I have tons of IP written there
[14:41] <Assid> is there a way to make ubuntu software center do multiple downloads
[14:41] <Assid> 1 at a time is just too slow
[14:41] <wieshka> e66: then add what you need :)
[14:42] <LjL> Assid: i don't think so.
[14:42] <Dr_Willis> gorski:  theres some settings/calbration files you can tweak dependign on the chipsetsd.
[14:42] <LjL> Assid: also, change your mirror if the one you're using is slow.
[14:42] <Dr_Willis> gorski:  small differances in the bios/chipsets that are not updated in the progrms wuld be my guess
[14:42] <Assid> LjL: actually my isp just goes quicker if i use multiple downloads
[14:42] <Dr_Willis> brb
[14:43] <gorski> ok, tnx
[14:43] <e66> LjL:  NO its not working. They have learnt a lot about blocking.
[14:43] <silverraindog> db_loco: hows about http://groups.google.com/group/microdia/browse_thread/thread/cbc607753fc4f3c2
[14:43] <azolap> Vilemaxim are you there?

[14:44] <db_loco> silverraindog thanks will look at it now
[14:44] <Assid> is there a way to set empathy to close the window on escape?
[14:45] <wieshka> Assid: hmmmm you can try to set keyboard shortcut for minimize
[14:46] <Assid> i dont see that option
[14:46] <wieshka> e66: it depends from your location
[14:47] <Assid> bah the fonts are a bit strange on the browser.. is it me or is it missing something
[14:47] <wieshka> for example for me facebook.com is http://<IP_ADDRESS>/
[14:47] <wieshka> Assid:  yeah, they are :)
[14:47] <genti> omg

[14:48] <wieshka> itheos: without root permission you cant install software
[14:48] <Assid> wieshka: yeah but try searching in google.. looks bad
[14:48] <LjL> !sudo > Twain_32    (Twain_32, see the private message from ubottu)

[14:50] <wieshka> just type and press enter
[14:50] <actionParsnip> Twain_32: just type as if it is being shown, it will work
[14:50] <wieshka> to confirm
[14:50] <Guest99918> anyone can help me on how to compress .pak file on ubuntu 10.04?
[14:50] <Twain_32> mmmm ok ;) sec ill try
[14:50] <actionParsnip> Guest99918: use zip or bzip , you can also compress from nautilus
[14:51] <actionParsnip> diey0sa: use zip or bzip , you can also compress from nautilus
[14:51] <diey0sa> cant..it PAK file from my game..it is not zip file even i change it extension to .ZIP, it not work
[14:52] <LjL> diey0sa: then maybe you want to *de*compress it?
[14:52] <actionParsnip> diey0sa: if its a compressed file already, you won't get it much smaller by compressing
[14:52] <actionParsnip> LjL: ;)
[14:52] <LjL> diey0sa: try typing "file filename.pak" to find out what type it actually is
[14:52] <itheos> !automate
[14:52] <Twain_32> guys root@Twain:/home/twain_32# that means i have logged?
[14:52] <diey0sa> data1.pak
[14:53] <alpaka> How do I list all the packages installed on my machine?
[14:53] <actionParsnip> Twain_32: why are you root if you are using  files in your users home?
[14:53] <itheos> Twain_32, that means you are root :) good for you
[14:53] <Assid> for some weird reason i cant get gwibber to launch
[14:53] <diey0sa> i already can extract it by using pak ripper but now i need to compress it back to .PAK
[14:53] <Assid> i just loaded up this puppy
[14:53] <soreau> alpaka: dpkg -l
[14:53] <w83> hi all
[14:53] <soreau> alpaka: dpkg -l|grep ii
[14:53] <actionParsnip> Assid: launch it from terminal, see what is output in the terminal
[14:53] <alpaka> soreau: thank you
[14:53] <Twain_32> itheosi logged yes?
[14:54] <itheos> Twain_32, you can install the software you were trying to
[14:54] <Assid> http://assid.pastebin.com/93WE58uG
[14:54] <w83> can sm tell me why setting the GTK2_RC_FILES=.. gedit won't work ?
[14:55] <w83> ubuntu 10.04
[14:55] <actionParsnip> Assid: try reinstalling the app, if its still bad then you most likely have a bug
[14:55] <Assid> btw.. firefox on x64 is firefox 32bit or 64bit?
[14:55] <actionParsnip> Assid: 64bit
[14:55] <actionParsnip> Assid: you can run 32bit firefox if you like
[14:56] <diey0sa> pak ripper on work in windows..im using windows now.i also not know what software can compress file to .PAK
[14:56] <Assid> nah id rather use 64bit since flash and everything have already come to it
[14:56] <Assid> one of the reasons i prefered to move to linux
[14:56] <Assid> once again
[14:56] <actionParsnip> Assid: you can use 64bit flash if you like
[14:57] <Assid> actionParsnip: yes i have it being installed from the software center
[14:57] <actionParsnip> Assid: flashplugin-installer uses nspluginwrapper + 32bit flash
[14:57] <kjele> Assid: flash is 32 unless you make some tweaks
[14:57] <IMTheNachoMan> how can i find all the used ports ?
[14:57] <Assid> i thought adobe released 64bit already
[14:57] <actionParsnip> Assid: true 64bit flash comes from a separate repo
[14:57] <linux_is_my_hero> i need ocr software for ubuntu, anyone know of anything?
[14:57] <Assid> actionParsnip: and how do i get that
[14:58] <actionParsnip> Assid: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash    remove the flash you have and use the 64bit flash guide there, runs cleaner on 64bit systems
[14:58] <hemza> i come back
[14:58] <doolph> what do you recommend to manage the server webmin or ebox... or anything else?
[14:59] <wieshka> doolph: i recommend ssh :)
[14:59] <Furuno> doolph, I prefer webmin...
[14:59] <linux_is_my_hero> does anyone know, is there a pdf maker for ubuntu?
[14:59] <wieshka> linux_is_my_hero: you can use openoffice
[14:59] <w83> can sm tell me why setting the GTK2_RC_FILES=.. gedit won't work for me in ubuntu 10.04 ??
[14:59] <wieshka> i use openoffice to convert ppt to pdf
[15:00] <wieshka> and then pdf to images
[15:00] <wieshka> ppt -> jpg convertor script :)
[15:00] <doolph> did I got kicked?
[15:00] <PrototypeX29A> doolph: no
[15:00] <LjL> doolph: no, you left.
[15:00] <wieshka> no you just left
[15:01] <doolph> I was trying to type then suddenly the screen closed
[15:01] <doolph> lol
[15:01] <Assid> theres gotta be a way to make software center do multi[ple things.. this is just too slow
[15:01] <kjele> Assid: It is faster really
[15:01] <Assid> ive lost an entire day running after installling/removing stuff and losing data
[15:01] <actionParsnip> Assid: use cli, its a lot slicker
[15:02] <doolph> anyone had played with samba to play with winxp, vista, 7 and mac all together in a domain?
[15:02] <Assid> need speed not slick :P
[15:02] <Assid> i wanna be able to install/remove things multiple apps at a time
[15:02] <actionParsnip> Assid: you can define multiple packages to uninstall or remove at the same time
[15:02] <wieshka> assid it mainly depends on internet connection speed
[15:02] <Assid> actionParsnip: still have to wait for my previous actions to finish
[15:02] <wieshka> assid use apt-get remove package1 package2
[15:03] <dcesiel> Hey guys I'm having an issue with my nvidia driver and I'm having to restort to low graphics mode.  I'm not really sure how to fix it...
[15:03] <actionParsnip> Assid: you can use: sudo apt-get install package1 package2 package3 package4    to install them all in one command
[15:03] <kjele> Assid: The find your apps, remove find the other while the old one and remove etc
[15:03] <wieshka> ok looks like i am going back to my own probles with ubuntu :)
[15:04] <hemza> i have removed task manager in KDE desktop ... how to restart it
[15:04] <Assid> http://img686.imageshack.us/img686/2330/screenshotubuntusoftwar.png -- here as you can see i have to wait for it in the ORDER the commands are given
[15:04] <Assid> so even a remove has to wait for the previous ones to go through
[15:04] <w83> hi all, can sm give me a hint why setting the GTK2_RC_FILES=... gedit might not work in ubuntu 10.04 ?
[15:04] <doolph> dcesiel I think ubuntu 10.04 comes with default drivers
[15:05] <kjele> w83: the env?
[15:05] <Assid> i cant even watch some stuff cause i dont have the restricted codecs
[15:05] <doolph> install it then

[15:07] <dcesiel> I installed updates a week or two ago and just restarted my computer for the first time in a while yesterday and thats when I started having this issue...
[15:08] <doolph> I dont think you get any troubles with it
[15:08] <kjele> w83: You mean appearance?
[15:08] <mhall119> how about drivers?
[15:08] <mhall119> I have a broadcom wifi that uses a binary blob

[15:20] <mete> new ubuntu mirror: http://www.worldhack.org/
[15:20] <mete> very fast!
[15:20] <actionParsnip> Agent_Smith: you can remove the old linux-images with version numbers to free up space but you must keep linux-image-generic
[15:20] <Assid> wow esata going slow on ubuntu
[15:20] <Assid> i have it on ahci correctly
[15:21] <kjele> w83: The next Ubuntu release is suppose to have it. Currently the one you find in dev version of Ubuntu is breaking a lot of stuff.
[15:21] <Twain_32> itheos are u here?
[15:22] <Agent_Smith> actionParsnip: ok
[15:22] <Twain_32> Guys i got this error! help me please
[15:22] <Twain_32> he panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_TSClientApplet".
[15:22] <Agent_Smith> actionParsnip: take a look http://pastebin.com/T1qFmvhn
[15:22] <Twain_32> The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_TSClientApplet".
[15:22] <Wilthril> hi guys
[15:22] <Twain_32> delete or no?
[15:22] <doolph> hi
[15:22] <Dr_Willis> Twain_32:  may as well delete it - and see what it controls :)
[15:22] <Wilthril> anyone knows how to change the system sounds? (like the login sound)
[15:22] <Twain_32> thanks
[15:22] <Wilthril> i'd like to put my own custom login sound instead thanks
[15:22] <w83> ok, thx for the response I really appreciate it :)
[15:23] <Dr_Willis> Wilthril:  one way. find the sound, replace it with a different one.
[15:23]  * Dr_Willis turns off the login sound.
[15:23] <Wilthril> that's kinda dirty no? :p
[15:23] <actionParsnip> Agent_Smith: what is the output of:   dpkg -l | grep linux-image
[15:23] <Agent_Smith> actionParsnip: it seems that synaptic has some problems
[15:23] <Dr_Willis> Wilthril:  as far as i know theres no gui tools to configure the sound themes
[15:24] <actionParsnip> Agent_Smith: ok, whats the output of: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get --reinstall install gedit
[15:24] <Agent_Smith> actionParsnip: can I paste 4 lines here?
[15:24] <doolph> Wilthril system preference sounds
[15:24] <azolap> actionParsnip .. i had a dual boot windows7/ubuntu set up on my laptop but i damaged the hard disk which meanti couldn't boot either windows or linux. (it would just stall at the loading screen) just now i booted the livecd and ran e2fsck , and when i restarted it says "Operating system not found" .. i don't even get the grub bootloader any more! do you know what might have gone wrong? :(
[15:24] <actionParsnip> Agent_Smith: pastebin dude
[15:24] <Agent_Smith> actionParsnip: ok
[15:24] <Wilthril> doolph: nope i didn't find in preferences sound
[15:24] <Wilthril> doolph: i want to put my custom sounds (ie I choose which file to play)
[15:24] <actionParsnip> azolap: i'd grab the ultimate boot cd and test the drive using the manufacturer's tool
[15:24] <Agent_Smith> actionParsnip: take a look on the versions http://pastebin.com/if95iFjZ
[15:25] <root> hi
[15:25] <dcesiel> Also is there a way to transfer rhythmbox settings, like song plays and ratings?
[15:25] <Agent_Smith> actionParsnip: <IP_ADDRESS>.23 is not the last one
[15:25] <azolap> hm i have windows 7 home premium upgrade disc which is the only win7 disc i received.. will that do?
[15:25] <actionParsnip> Agent_Smith: ok if you run: uname -a    and are running 2.6.32-22   then you can run: sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image-2.6.32-21-generic; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove
[15:25] <Agent_Smith> actionParsnip: 2.6.32-22.33 is the last one
[15:26] <actionParsnip> !info linux-image lucid
[15:26] <Assid> man i got soooo many thing to install
[15:26] <Assid> its just insane
[15:26] <Guest26563> hi guys i need help with a distribution BackTrack 4 pre final i have a netbook and i cant configure the resoltution video ... 1024x600 ...
[15:26] <Assid> xbmc yadda yadda
[15:26] <Guest26563> can help me ? please
[15:26] <actionParsnip> !backtrack | Guest26563
[15:27] <Agent_Smith> actionParsnip: I would like to leave only the last two versions of lucid kernels
[15:27] <doolph> Wilthril it should be there
[15:27] <actionParsnip> Agent_Smith: then you have that, you have 2 kernels. There are only the 2 kernels output in the text you pastebinned
[15:28] <azolap> actionParsnip i put in the win7 upgrade disc to try boot from it and it says "SMART Failure Predicted on Hard Disk. Back up your data immediatly, a failure may be imminent"
[15:28] <|E|Yoshi> Hey, could you help me? I'm new on linux, I need my microphone to be working with Mumble (VoiP), but it doesnt work at all, it works fine on windows, but not on linux
[15:28] <Wilthril> doolph: i can't find where i can put my custom files really
[15:28] <actionParsnip> azolap: sounds like a dead HDD to me
[15:28] <Agent_Smith> actionParsnip: actually 3
[15:28] <|E|Yoshi> I tried to google it, but couldnt find
[15:28] <actionParsnip> Agent_Smith: line 4 is a metapackage and not a real kernel
[15:28] <Wilthril> it's like "defaut, barking, etc..." but i can't choose a file
[15:28] <azolap> actionParsnip well yes it's messed up.. but does this mean there is no way i can recover my windows 7 user files?? :(
[15:29] <actionParsnip> azolap: restore them from your backups
[15:29] <Agent_Smith> actionParsnip: ok ... but why I need to keep this metapackage is it's older than my packages?
[15:29] <drizzt_> i had installed pinot but it doesn't index anything, is that because I'm using Gnome?
[15:29] <arcade> So, I was going to upgrade from 9.10  -> 10.4, but the updater crashed before it managed to start, except that it managed to update the sources .. so kpackagekit is in a strange state.  How do I relaunch the upgrade process ?
[15:30] <azolap> actionParsnip i don't have any backups for half of them.. is there no way i can get them off the drive?
[15:30] <actionParsnip> Agent_Smith: its a harmless metapackage, its required during distribution upgrades as well as installing new kernels later
[15:30] <Dr_Willis> azolap:  try a live cd and see what you can rescue
[15:30] <arcade> update the sources as in /etc/apt/sources.list.  Nothing new installed.
[15:30] <actionParsnip> azolap: if the drive doesn't detect then its a dead duck dude
[15:30] <Phenyl> Hi.
[15:30] <arcade> So, how do I relaunch the updater?
[15:30] <nody> Dr_Willis: ah it' has gnome-mplayer
[15:30] <actionParsnip> azolap: you could try repeated boots until its nice
[15:30] <soreau> arcade: on the cli, use apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade
[15:30] <azolap> oh dear :'(
[15:31] <Dr_Willis> azolap:  theres numerous 'hacks/tricks' that MIGHT restore a drive to functionality for a limited time...    :)
[15:31] <arcade> soreau: oh, that's okay then :P
[15:31] <actionParsnip> azolap: otherwise i'd say you were stumped and your poor backups have bitten you hard
[15:31] <Phenyl> I'm searching a soft like cheese but which handle sound.
[15:31] <sprung> I want to install tor but sudo apt-get install tor doesn't find it. is it under a different package name?
[15:31] <arcade> soreau: not dist-upgrade ?
[15:31] <doolph> Wilthril you have to copy sounds to /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/
[15:31] <azolap> yes
[15:31] <Dr_Willis> nody:  gnome-mplayer is the gui variant of mplayer yes,,
[15:31] <arcade> azolap: What kind of data do you need to rescjue?
[15:31] <drizzt_> does someone usin pinot?
[15:31] <theadmin> sprung: You have to add their repository
[15:31] <nody> Dr_Willis: yea and it lags mplayer doesnt
[15:31] <Dr_Willis> nody:  theres also smplayer and  just mplayer
[15:31] <nody> Dr_Willis: that lags too
[15:31] <itheos> how to mount my external disk? i am root and its not detecting it
[15:32] <nody> Dr_Willis: tnx for all your help i got this wokring now
[15:32] <Wilthril> doolph: thanks a lot that's what i was looking for
[15:32] <Wilthril> thanks again
[15:32] <Dr_Willis> nody:  i use vlc 99% of the time these days
[15:32] <sprung> theadmin, i tried doing that sudo deb http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org ubuntu main
[15:32] <sprung> the it said i don't have deb installed
[15:32] <Agent_Smith> actionParsnip: "linux-image-2.6.32-22-generic >>> 2.6.32-22.33" and "linux-image-generic >>> <IP_ADDRESS>.23"
[15:32] <azolap> Dr_Willis i was in the livecd environment just now.. i couldn't mount my windows partition (even though it appeared in filemanager) .. after running e2fsck on the linux partition it doesn't even detect the drive and i got this SMART failure prediction msg. arcade i want to retreive my windows7 user files
[15:32] <sprung> theadmin, it said i don't have deb installed
[15:32] <Agent_Smith> actionParsnip: the last one is .33 and not .23
[15:32] <arcade> itheos: ls -la /dev/sd? , 'df', see what's not mounted, then use mount /dev/sdX1 /mnt/foo
[15:33] <boodroscotch> Hey guys
[15:33] <theadmin> sprung: echo deb     http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org $(lsb_release -sc) main | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/torproject.list && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install tor tor-geoipdb
[15:33] <itheos> wow thanks arcade let me try it
[15:33] <boodroscotch> I have this problem with a critical 3G Modem GUI
[15:33] <Agent_Smith> actionParsnip: I think I understand why this package exist but I didnt understand why I can not remove it
[15:33] <boodroscotch> You see, it uses libqt3-mt
[15:33] <arcade> azolap: Okay.  Depending on how broken your disk is, it depends.
[15:33] <Agent_Smith> actionParsnip: anyway thanks for your help ... I'll keep this package installed
[15:33] <boodroscotch> and libqt3-mt.so.3 specifically
[15:33] <actionParsnip> azolap: you MAY be able to use foremost or dd_rescue to make an image
[15:33] <sprung> theadmin, wow thanks
[15:33] <Dr_Willis> azolap:  you could try to 'ddrescue' the whold drive to another drive as a file image. then recover from that. IF it can even do that.
[15:33] <actionParsnip> Agent_Smith: its not hurting nobody ;)
[15:33] <boodroscotch> so I installed both
[15:34] <Agent_Smith> actionParsnip: yeap
[15:34] <sllide> my ubuntu netbook remix box has two screens
[15:34] <Agent_Smith> actionParsnip: thanks a lot
[15:34] <sllide> how can i make the menu only show on the main screen?
[15:34] <boodroscotch> and it still does not recognize that the library is present
[15:34] <arcade> azolap: My initial thought would be "is the disk physically broken" .  If not, get an equally sized disk and do a dd if=/dev/THISDISK of=/path/to/new/disk/olddisk.image
[15:34] <actionParsnip> Agent_Smith: np man, i think its a weird package too tbh
[15:34] <boodroscotch> help please?
[15:34] <arcade> azolap: Don't execute that if you don't know what it does, btw. :P
[15:34] <Agent_Smith> actionParsnip: so I'm not crazing, right? :D
[15:34] <actionParsnip> arcade: dd will moan if it gets a bad bit of disk dd_rescue just keeps going
[15:35] <arcade> actionParsnip: never had dd moan at me, but you're probably right.
[15:35] <actionParsnip> Agent_Smith: oh god no, we have a kernel with a version number, why do we need a weird extra bit
[15:36] <Agent_Smith> actionParsnip: I've tried to google something before I came here but I didnt find anything usefull
[15:36] <Assid> is there a way for me to confirm im using 64bit flash
[15:36] <Assid> ?
[15:36] <arcade> azolap: or, it doesn't detect the drive as in .. not even the device?
[15:37] <Agent_Smith> actionParsnip: I have to go ... thanks for your help and patient with me ...lol
[15:37] <azolap> arcade i was going to try something like that (creating an image of the disk) but when i was booted in livecd fdisk -l returned no output, so it couldn't even detect the disk
[15:37] <actionParsnip> Assid:can you give the output of: dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf
[15:37] <Assid> okay i reinstalled gwibber.. but no joy
[15:37] <arcade> azolap: 'dmesg', does dmesg report anything about the disk at all ?
[15:38] <boodroscotch> so, I have a program that does not recognize that a critical shared library; libqt3-mt.so.3, is present. Help Please? WAT DO?
[15:38] <Assid> actionParsnip: sorry.. can you retype that pleas
[15:38] <Assid> i hit clear instead of copy
[15:38] <actionParsnip> Assid: you can also find the plugin .so file and run:   file filename.so    it will state its architecture
[15:38] <arcade> azolap: If you touch the pysical disk, can you feel whether it's spinning?  Oh, and have you verified that it's got power and data cables plugged properly in in both ends? :P
[15:38] <actionParsnip> Assid: dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf
[15:39] <Assid> 64-installer seems installed
[15:39] <actionParsnip> Assid: or you can use: sudo find / -iname "*.so" | grep flash -exec file {} \;     bit cheekier ;)
[15:39] <boodroscotch> also, I'm running 64-bit Lucid
[15:40] <Assid> actionParsnip: that doesnt work..
[15:40] <actionParsnip> boodroscotch: is the app you are running 64bit too?
[15:40] <actionParsnip> Assid: the find command will take a while, it will find all .so files containing the word flash and tell you what arch they are
[15:40] <Assid> actionParsnip: yes i know.. but that command doesnt wanna run
[15:41] <Assid> actionParsnip: okay gwibber doesnt work even after reinstalling
[15:41] <boodroscotch> actionParsnip: I'm pretty sure it isn't; I don't know.
[15:41] <Assid> same output as before
[15:41] <actionParsnip> boodroscotch: what is the output of:  file `which foo`     replace foo with the command you are running
[15:41] <joe_c> Hi all...  Is Xubuntu 10.04 an LTS or regular branch!?
[15:42] <actionParsnip> Assid: sounds like a bug then, use the terminal output as part of the bug
[15:42] <Assid> methinks this is related: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1462433
[15:42] <actionParsnip> joe_c: LTS afaik
[15:42] <joe_c> I see, thanks A! :^)
[15:42] <azolap> arcade i did check the hard disk connections yesterday but the laptop casing isn't removed atm so i can't check right now.. i ran an e2fsck earlier today and it found thousands of bad blocks it couldn't read. i thought it was going to fix them but e2fsck has appeared to ruin the disk even more
[15:42] <liguangliang> sb
[15:42] <boodroscotch> actionParsnip: I'm on windows right now; the software that is causing the error is the 3G driver GUI
[15:43] <arcade> azolap: oh. :-/
[15:43] <sllide> is there something simmilar to ollydbg for linux?
[15:44] <drizzt_> how can i change beagle indexing settings?
[15:44] <e01>  hello, i am turning off the icons from the desktop from gconf-editor desktop->gnome->session->[required components list]
[15:44] <e01> but now i had problem with conky, when it runing and it is shown, it had shadow arround it`s window, is it possible to be fixed ?
[15:44] <Assid> actionParsnip: so is that bug fixed? cause im still getting it and this is 10.04 stable
[15:45] <actionParsnip> Assid: not sure, log your bug and it will be addressed one way or another or be marked as a duplicate of another bug
[15:45] <Wilthril> thanks a lot doolph it's working fine... but maybe someday someone should make a nice gui about it ^^
[15:45] <actionParsnip> boodroscotch: i dont use 3G on laptops.
[15:45] <liguangliang> i come from china!
[15:46] <liguangliang> i can't speak english!my english is poor
[15:46] <krom_> !cn | liguangliang
[15:47] <Dr_Willis> e01:  conky has 10000+ settings in its configs.. yes. shadows can be turned off i imagine. Check the conky docs and example configs
[15:47] <rocket16> Hello again friends.
[15:48] <azolap> btw arcade i just tried dmesg and yes it reports loads about the disc. stuff like "I/O error dev sda" "Buffer I/O error on device sda1, logical block xx" etc
[15:49] <arcade> azolap: That sounds bad.  Your main hope seems to be a bad data cable, i.e try to swap the ide/sata/scsi/whatever cable and try again.
[15:49] <arcade> azolap: If it's not the connectors, then .. "shit has happened"
[15:49] <Dr_Willis> 'hit the fan. and the fan was on HIGH'
[15:50] <arcade> Dr_Willis: yes.  basically
[15:50] <arcade> :P
[15:50] <azolap> lol
[15:50] <azolap> yes.. well thanks for the advice anyway
[15:51] <arcade> azolap: Most of the time it's the connections though. :)
[15:51] <arcade> azolap: So don't give up hope juust yet.
[15:51] <arcade> azolap: My RAID-setup used to behave like that.  Problem was that 3 of the disks used to go offline at the same time.  In the end I discovered that I had made a silly power-setup with 1 disk being powered from one cable from the PSU, while the second cable ending up with 5 splits. :P
[15:52] <azolap> hmm ok i'll try it in another pc i think, if i can figure out how to get my hd out of my laptop
[15:52] <arcade> azolap: Something that quite simply wasn't enough for the poor disks.  When I "rebalanced" the splits, all disks were running nicely.  Quite simply a power problem - and no data was lost
[15:52] <arcade> azolap: You might even want to just pull the disk out and slide in back into the same laptop
[15:54] <azolap> oh right arcade, well i hope it is that simple for me. but e2fsck already made a load of changes and i seem to have lost my grub bootloader so even if it was a connection it probably messed up the hd anyway?
[15:54] <actionParsnip> azolap: if you do get it back online. BACKUP your stuff
[15:55] <arcade> azolap: I'm surprised that e2fsck would touch anything outside a single extX filesystem.
[15:55] <ubuntunewbie> Hi anyone can teach me how to list files includes timestamp with second ? ls command ?
[15:55] <azolap> yes i will back up if i do
[15:55] <ubuntunewbie> Thank you very much :-)
[15:55] <arcade> ubuntunewbie: ls -la
[15:55] <nody> Dr_Willis: vlc runs smooth yea
[15:55] <azolap> arcade yes i only ran e2fsck on the linux partition , but it seems to have messed up a lot more than that
[15:55] <nody> Dr_Willis: but it's lagging too :D
[15:55] <arcade> ubuntunewbie: oh, timestamp with second?  use 'stat' on the files.
[15:55] <actionParsnip> azolap: then keep a good backup. if it really dies then you don't care
[15:56] <Dr_Willis> nody:  could be your video is encoded badly.
[15:56] <arcade> azolap: That is rather strange.  e2fsck should only work on a single partition.
[15:56] <ubuntunewbie> arcade : ? I tried with ls but it only show until min , not second since I wanted to list all files
[15:56] <ubuntunewbie> arcade : stat ??
[15:56] <arcade> azolap: Hm, I don't remember exactly how GRUB works though.  It of course uses the bootsector, but where does it load the rest of the info from?   That I do not remember.
[15:57] <arcade> ubuntunewbie: ls --full-time -la
[15:57] <Appl6> arcade: It has enough knowledge of filesystems to traverse the root and find later stages in /boot/grub in the particular partition it was installed from.
[15:57] <arcade> ubuntunewbie: You should also try 'man ls' to figure out the other options to ls
[15:58] <ubuntunewbie> arcade : ok trying to read
[15:58] <arcade> azolap / Appl6 : So in other words, grub can have been hosed by e2fsck running on the linux partition only, since the grub files was located on the linux partition.
[15:58] <azolap> ah yes i see
[15:58] <arcade> azolap: in that case, your windows stuff might still be entirely safe.
[15:59] <azolap> hm ok, but then why does it say SMART failure predicted every time i turn on now
[15:59] <arcade> azolap: You just need to create yourself a new boot sector, and not fiddle with the windows partition itself.
[15:59] <azolap> that doesn't sound like everything's safe
[15:59] <arcade> azolap: All your data should thus be entirely nice and safe. :P
[15:59] <azolap> it says a failure is imminent :x
[15:59] <arcade> azolap: Oh, certainly.
[15:59] <EmoSpice> azolap: You should probably buy a new hdd
[15:59] <arcade> azolap: But your windows partition isn't destroyed by e2fsck. :)
[15:59] <azolap> EmoSpice yes i plan on doing that, but i really want to get my data back if i can
[15:59] <azolap> from windwos
[15:59] <EmoSpice> ah
[16:00] <arcade> azolap: So, where in the world are you located?
[16:00] <Daekdroom> azolap, You're probably better off buying a new HDD and only running the old one when you're actually going to transfer the files.
[16:00] <azolap> in the UK
[16:00] <Assid> err anyone know if theres an issue with linux being able to detect a drive properly
[16:00] <arcade> azolap: Hm, okay, I'm in Ireland, so still a sea in between.
[16:00] <arcade> azolap: There is however plenty of LUGs and knowledgeable people in the UK, and there might be some that may be able to help you directly.
[16:01] <Assid> for some strange reason its not reading one of my drives correctly
[16:01] <BluesKaj> Assid, an outboard ?
[16:01] <ubuntunewbie> arcade : want to ask , I dont quite understand the "-a" means -a, --all    "do not ignore entries starting with ." ? what does it mean do not ignore start with (what) ?
[16:02] <azolap> Daekdroom but how am i going to get to the files to copy them, the drive doesn't seem to be recognised any more :s arcade hmm ok.. well i'll try to find someone who can if i get no where over the bank holiday weekend
[16:02] <Assid> iu have a 1TB internal it just doesnt wanna detect right
[16:02] <EmoSpice> ubuntunewbie: hidden files in a linux system start with a . (a period)
[16:02] <arcade> ubuntunewbie: "ls" by default ignores listing files that start with a dot (".") .
[16:02] <Assid> in disk utility it doesnt even show my partitions
[16:02] <Colonel-Rosa> morning
[16:02] <Daekdroom> azolap, ah, that definitely makes it require a proper help in the area.
[16:02] <arcade> ubuntunewbie: The '-a' option makes sure to show these "hidden" files.  it's a convention for hiding files that you don't want to see normally.  Typically config files.
[16:02]  * Assid is starting to freak out
[16:02] <BluesKaj> Assid, how about gparted
[16:03] <ubuntunewbie> arcade : oh , thanks ;-)
[16:03] <LjL> azolap, seriously, the thing to do is to take an image of the drive. then later you can use plenty of tools that at least attempt a recovery of your files
[16:03] <EmoSpice> Assid: cfdisk? fdisk? parted?
[16:03] <Assid> so far the move to ubuntu has been a whole lot of loss of data
[16:03] <Assid> hold on waiting for gparted
[16:03] <azolap> LjL i was just about to take an image of the hard disk like you said earlier.. but after e2fsck fniished running the disk was no longer recognised.. i couldn't see my windows/linux partition any more
[16:03] <LjL> azolap: :(
[16:04] <LjL> azolap: i told you to use the disk as little as possible before imaging it :| every time you use it, it risks getting worse, and it probably has
[16:04] <EmoSpice> azolap: that's not e2fsck's fault - it's probably just the harddrivefailing more and more.
[16:04] <azolap> well yes i was going to do it straight away, but e2fsck was like 80% done so i waited for it to end :/
[16:05] <EmoSpice> and since e2fsck runs over every sector, it's likely to have thrashed more of the drive
[16:05] <frxstrem> is there a program that would allow me to simulate a keypress?
[16:05] <arcade>  Uhm
[16:05] <azolap> oh that does't sound good
[16:05] <arcade> Guys
[16:05] <EmoSpice> frxstrem: xdo? I think it's called?
[16:05] <arcade> Just because SMART shows some errors doesn't mean that the drive is that destroyed yet.  It might be, but let's not just jump to conclusions.
[16:05] <arcade> :)
[16:06] <arcade> azolap: My recommendation - just switch it off, find your friendly local linux guru to have a look at it for you.
[16:06] <Assid> damn it says unallocated?!?!?!?
[16:06] <LjL> fxhp: xmacro, xdotool
[16:06] <Assid> wtf just happened to my data
[16:07]  * Assid thinks he should move back to win7
[16:07] <frxstrem> EmoSpice: i can't find it...neither in Ubuntu nor in the repositories
[16:07] <EmoSpice> Assid: did you just do an install?
[16:07] <Assid> EmoSpice: yes
[16:07] <EmoSpice> frxstrem: I told you wrong - I'm looking for the name now
[16:07] <Assid> fresh install maybe a couple of hours back
[16:07] <EmoSpice> Assid: did you do the 'default' install?
[16:07] <Assid> nah.. i chose the drive i want and made my own partitions
[16:08] <Assid> EmoSpice: not my first time on linux. and ubuntu for that matter
[16:08] <EmoSpice> Not saying it is - I'm simply covering bases :)
[16:08] <EmoSpice> are you sure you've chosen the right drives in all of the partitioning software you've used?
[16:08] <BluesKaj> Assid,is the partition in question ntfs ?
[16:08] <Assid> BluesKaj: yes bu the otther ntfs partitions work fine
[16:09] <EmoSpice> frxstrem: you're looking for a program, and not a code example, right?
[16:09] <Assid> i didnt even touch that drive
[16:10] <frxstrem> EmoSpice: yes
[16:10] <Assid> i was too busy trying to get all the updates and softwares i need installed
[16:10]  * Assid throws an angry fit
[16:10] <EmoSpice> frxstrem: try xevent?
[16:10] <BluesKaj> Assid, is it a separate drive , or a partition ?
[16:10] <Assid> seperate drive
[16:10] <BluesKaj> aha
[16:10] <Boxici> where can i find help for backtrack 4 final?

[16:12] <frxstrem> EmoSpice: is it in the repositories?
[16:12] <EmoSpice> frxstrem: I have no idea - I'm actually not an Ubuntu user.
[16:12]  * EmoSpice waits for the flak
[16:12] <itheos> how to mount a partition which isnt visible?
[16:12] <BluesKaj> Assid, you need to mount that drive , but I would check in another OS first to make sure it's read/writeable
[16:12] <arcade> rocket16: What priority?
[16:13] <rocket16> EmoSpice: Thanks, :)
[16:13] <frxstrem> EmoSpice: okay.......well, it seems to be what I'm looking for, so thanks for your help :)
[16:13] <rocket16> arcade: The priority of the process Pidgin in System-monitor.
[16:13] <itheos> arcade, i tried the mount command but it says "mount: special device /dev/sdc1 does not exist"
[16:13] <EmoSpice> (both): You're welcome.
[16:13] <EmoSpice> frxstrem: even if not, it shouldn't be hard to compile.
[16:14] <frxstrem> EmoSpice: I know - but I cannot seem to get it to work, though (with checkinstall)
[16:14] <theadmin> Is running nice apps having any potential to cause slowdowns? (nice means those ran with "nice" command, of course)
[16:14] <arcade> rocket16: What priority?  Reducing the priority doesn't make it use less RAM.  In any case, the command (from the command line) is 'renice'.
[16:14] <itheos> i have a seagate external hdd. i want to mount it. but i am root and its not detecting it. what to do?
[16:14] <marienz> theadmin: depends.
[16:15] <EmoSpice> frxstrem: you'd be better off asking someone else about debian / ubuntu specific package management. As I said - I'm primarily an Arch / FreeBSD user
[16:15] <rocket16> arcade: Well, thanks. But I just meant the shared memory there, and it is affected by the Nice Value from System Monitor GUI.
[16:15] <marienz> theadmin: a niced app can still cause an unniced app to do work (common example: the X server), and they can still do a lot of disk io or consume some other kind of resource.
[16:15] <theadmin> marienz: Well, in my case Firefox eats a lot of memory and i want to "nice" it so it is less hungry
[16:15] <marienz> theadmin: nice will not affect memory usage at all.
[16:15] <theadmin> marienz: Oh?... bleh :/
[16:15] <Slart> theadmin: sure.. nice just takes care of the cpu.. if your app uses a lot of bandwidth somewhere (pci, network) it can still cause things to slow down
[16:16] <theadmin> Slart: Well it's not the bandwith, it just is hungry with RAM
[16:16] <Slart> theadmin: there's even an "ionice"
[16:16] <theadmin> Slart: I have nothing against it using bandwith lolz
[16:17] <EmoSpice> theadmin: you may want to just use a separate program, if you can. Renicing is just going to change it's processing priority and not change much for the RAM usage, if I understand things right. (I could be way off base, though)
[16:17] <theadmin> Well anyway. If I put "gnome-shell --replace" in my .profile will that work normally?
[16:17] <Slart> theadmin: well.. if it uses RAM a lot it might still slow other things down.. if it's noticable or not would depend on the system and the app, I would guess
[16:17] <EmoSpice> theadmin: what networks do you use?
[16:17] <theadmin> EmoSpice: Networks as in...?
[16:18] <theadmin> EmoSpice: If I got it right, eth0
[16:18] <EmoSpice> theadmin: MSN/ AIM?
[16:18] <theadmin> EmoSpice: Oh... uhm. I do use MSN, Gtalk/XMPP/Jabber and ICQ
[16:18] <theadmin> EmoSpice: But I don't see how this can cause problems
[16:18] <frxstrem> I tried to compile xevent from source, but 'make' gave me an error message (http://pastebin.com/WwPqHEjX) - does someone know why it won't compile?
[16:18] <raul__> Can I use the openshot to export a video to a .wmv format??
[16:19] <EmoSpice> it doesn't - I was going to suggest using jabber and utilising their transports. Pidgin is RAM hungry anyway - and like I said I don't believe that renicing it is going to help
[16:19] <xangua> theadmin: what version are you using¿¿ i see no problems with latest pidgin 2.7
[16:19] <theadmin> raul__: Doubt it very much (just the name has "open" in it and wmv is propertiary)
[16:19] <theadmin> xangua: Uhm, I have no idea where on earth the dude got an idea I have pidgin problems. I was asking about Firefox.
[16:19] <itheos> i have a seagate external hdd. i want to mount it. but i am root and its not detecting it. what to do?
[16:20] <raul__> theadmin is there any software that changes a video format to .wmv?
[16:20] <EmoSpice> theadmin: wait a minute - I might have....yep. Was talking to the wrong person. Auto-complete ftfl
[16:21] <wieshka> raul__:  you can use mencoder or ffmpeg
[16:21] <wieshka> i prefer ffmpeg
[16:21] <Boxici> is there someone here that can help me to setup my wireless client on backtrack 4?
[16:22] <llutz> !backtrack > Boxici

[16:31] <scunizi> itheos: is it a formatted drive? and if so what kind of file system is it formatted with?
[16:32] <itheos> scunizi, it has a lot of data. it has some partitions
[16:32] <scunizi> itheos: then it's more than just sdc1.. where did you get the "c" in sdc1?
[16:32] <itheos> scunizi, blkid shows it
[16:33] <scunizi> itheos: whak kind of file system is it?
[16:33] <itheos> the hdd is given sdc by ubuntu i think
[16:33] <itheos> it has ext3, ext4, ntfs. the partition sdc2 has ext3

[16:38] <itheos> scunizi, any way to reload the hdd without restarting?
[16:38] <garotosopa> I installed Ubuntu from the alternate CD because the default install interface didn't display on my monitor. Now it's installed, the console isn't displayed on my monitor either. How do you suggest me to configure it to use standard vga instead of a high resolution?

[16:47] <mouka> and I am trying a very simple script
[16:47] <bradpitt> hi. is compiz compatible with Lubuntu lucid?
[16:47] <mouka> but when I run it
[16:47] <mouka> I get this error: declare not defined or something along those lines
[16:47] <soreau> bradpitt: Yes, it is installed by default
[16:48] <bradpitt> soreau, ccsm?
[16:48] <mouka> bottom line, Bash doe not recognize the keyword "declare" used to declare a variable
[16:48] <mouka> any ideas what's going on?
[16:49] <marik> mouka, bash doesn't require you to declare new variables.. just say MYNEWVAR="value"
[16:49] <llutz> mouka: http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/  and "/j #bash"
[16:49] <marik> or: export MYNEWVAR="value"
[16:49] <greezmunkey> mouka: The folks in #bash are another great resource as well :)
[16:49] <Pici> mouka: Are you sure that you are using bash? or /bin/sh, as that links to /bin/dash and will probably not work with some bashisms.
[16:50] <mouka> I am sure I am using bash
[16:50] <Pici> mouka: Then it would be best to direct your questions to #bash then.
[16:50] <mouka> I always add "#!/bin/bash" to my scripts
[16:51] <bradpitt> soreau, weird bro, cause i set visual effect on ccsm and none of em is work
[16:51] <andai> I setup my mic so it's mounted to my wall. I put it inside a bucket to boost the pickup. But now there's too much bass. Can i equalize mic input?
[16:51] <soreau> bradpitt: Did you enable visual effects in sys>prefs>appearance?
[16:52] <bradpitt> soreau, bro im on lubuntu now. not sure where the "appearance" is
[16:53] <soreau> bradpitt: Ah, then you will need to run compiz --replace to start compiz then
[16:53] <Assid> hey
[16:53] <Assid> is there a way i can set the screen display to be @60hz
[16:54] <christos`_> anyone know where i can get widgets? I want a weather one for ubuntu.
[16:54] <Assid> theres actually a noticable difference between the 2
[16:54] <soreau> Assid: which graphics driver?
[16:54] <Assid> soreau: nvidia
[16:54] <bradpitt> soreau, okies. one last question does it change my compiz setting on ubuntu? coz i'm installing lubuntu on top of ubuntu

[16:57] <arcade> Hmf, seems to be a lot of manpages lacking in ubuntu.
[16:57] <soreau> bradpitt: I would assume you could just restart it like any other program
[16:57] <soreau> arcade: Like what?
[16:58] <bradpitt> soreau, did you mean reloggin? well ok then
[16:58] <bradpitt> thanks bro
[16:58] <soreau> bradpitt: No, that is nto what I meant
[16:58] <soreau> not*
[16:58] <soreau> I meant start it from alt+f2 run dialog or a terminal
[16:59] <arcade> soreau: So, no man pages for: kbluetooth, knotify4, virtuoso-t, console-kit-daemon, and that's just some of the stuff that is started on boot.
[16:59] <jabba> does anyone know details on how to modify the gnome-automounter? i want to modify it's settings in a way that it mounts USB-NTFS-Harddisks with certain attributes (umask, owner, group)
[16:59] <wise_crypt> bradpitt: what is your graphic card?, if i may ask
[16:59] <arcade> soreau: I find it rather amusing that stuff that is autostarted lacks manpages. .p

[17:00] <Vexc> Is there a way for me to bump up the refresh rate to over 85Hz? I am using ubuntu Lucid Lynxz with a nVidia Corporation G71 [GeGorce 7950 GT] adapter with a monitor that has a horizontal freq. 30 to 130 kHz and verical freq. 50 to 170 Hz.
[17:00] <arcade> soreau: Sure, it's fun to try to hunt for them though :P
[17:00] <soreau> arcade: But mostly man pages are for more technical, vetted components
[17:00] <arcade> soreau: I find it amusing that the default install doesn't have the manpages for what's installed with the default install
[17:00] <wise_crypt> bradpitt: down load this http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=158568&d=1275070708 to check what is missing

[17:04] <llutz> arcade: true but not necessarily *buntus fault
[17:04] <arcade> llutz: Of course it is.

[17:14] <dtcrshr> hello people, iv installed ubuntu here on my mothers pc, and mostly what she does is to check emails, many of them .pps presentations. But they open much bigger then the real screen size, and got no sound at all... any possible fix?
[17:14] <Ra> Hola!!!
[17:14] <axon_> what do i have to do?
[17:14] <axon_> the cd is in the cd-drive
[17:14] <soreau> wise_crypt: ah yea, that gpu can barely run compiz and its blacklisted because current intel driver just crashes with compiz
[17:14] <wise_crypt> soreau: no easy workaround yet ( all i think is buying new nvidia card )
[17:15] <soreau> wise_crypt: now is the time to choose radeon
[17:15] <node357> hi, how can i stop sound lag with pulseaudio? im trying to play some games and there's at least 10 seconds lag in the sound
[17:15] <wise_crypt> soreau: nice tip
[17:15] <sprung> yeah dont go nvidia for now
[17:15] <ubuntu_> what is the xubuntu default login password?
[17:15] <Ra> Holaaaaaaaaaa
[17:15] <node357> hola
[17:15] <sprung> nvidia makes great stuff but they are too proprietary
[17:15] <Ra> k tal?
[17:16] <sprung> <ubuntu_> what is the xubuntu default login password?
[17:16] <sprung> lol
[17:16] <onetinsoldier> i do wonder why they released Lucid with known bug for those Intel video cards
[17:16] <node357> I only speak english, but i do understand "hola" :)
[17:16] <soreau> ! es | Ra
[17:16] <mosno> sprung: username "ubuntu", password is the empty string
[17:16] <Ra> Holaaaaa
[17:16] <Ra> :-)
[17:16] <node357> or if I get rid of pulseaudio, will I be able to upgrade Ubuntu in the future
[17:16] <Ra> Ahy alguien
[17:16] <mosno> sprung: oh, you were not asking
[17:16] <sprung> onetinsoldier, problems with one specific piece of hardware should not hold up a release
[17:16] <ubuntu_> thx
[17:17] <mosno> ubuntu_: np
[17:17] <onetinsoldier> sprung: roger
[17:17] <ubuntu_> thx mosno
[17:17] <node357> i duno, intel video is pretty ubiquitous
[17:17] <onetinsoldier> sprung: it sure cuases a lot of people to come in here wondering what's wrong and why they can't even install tho
[17:18] <onetinsoldier> causes*
[17:18] <node357> i really hate pulseaudio
[17:18] <Ra> Hola max
[17:18] <Therstrium> does ubuntu support bluray players?
[17:18] <sprung> node357, you are not alone.
[17:18] <wise_crypt> node357: they are cheap ( no need to buy it ) included in the mobo
[17:18] <IMTheNachoMan> anyone know how to set up public key auth from os x to ubuntu? openssh
[17:19] <onetinsoldier> !es | Ra
[17:19] <a3ist> IMTheNachoMan, I'm not sure which ssh bins are in osx but you can always manually generate one and copy it to the authorized keys list on ubuntu if there's no bin for sending keys automatically
[17:19] <node357> welll I guess I'll remove pulseaudio and see if my system still works after
[17:19] <ubuntu_> what linux working fine, 1.5 ghz p4 with 256m ram?
[17:19] <node357> bye all
[17:19] <Ra> Helo
[17:19] <Ra> Name
[17:19] <GeekSquid> IMTheNachoMan: the commands are the same, to generate ssh keys on ubuntu and osx
[17:19] <llutz> IMTheNachoMan: generate a key, copy the public key to your ubuntu-accounts ~/.ssh/authorized_keys, login
[17:20] <wise_crypt> !hi | Ra
[17:20] <jabba> where can i change settings for the gnome-volume-manager?
[17:20] <overmind> Ra: Please don't troll. If you have any question ask it. If you need help in spanish #ubuntu-es.  I am using ubuntu Lucid Lynxz with a nVidia Corporation G71 [GeGorce 7950 GT] adapter with a monitor that has a horizontal freq. 30 to 130 kHz and verical freq. 50 to 170 Hz.
[17:22] <wise_crypt> !lubuntu > ubuntu_
[17:22] <hiexpo> is getdeb repos still down
[17:22] <a3ist> ubuntu_ that version of ubuntu uses XFCE instead of gnome, which has lower requirements; and lubuntu will be even lower
[17:23] <a3ist> I use LXDE (but not ubuntu) on my old laptop and it works great
[17:23] <IMTheNachoMan> GeekSquid: llutz: a3ist: i tried but its still asking for pssword
[17:24] <a3ist> IMTheNachoMan, are you talking about asking for a pw when generating a key, or when transferring?
[17:24] <GeekSquid> On osx or ubu?
[17:24] <Res2216firestar> Hi, I'm on 10.04, and  when I plug in an external USB hard drive, it mounts so that my admin user can read the contents, but only root can modify files. I tried sudo chown, but it said "Operation not permitted". Is there any way of configuring it so that I have full access?
[17:24] <IMTheNachoMan> a3ist: when sshing
[17:24] <IMTheNachoMan> what permissions do directories have to be?
[17:24] <a3ist> IMTheNachoMan, when you generated the key, did you enter a password or did you just hit enter
[17:24] <IMTheNachoMan> a3ist: enter
[17:25] <a3ist> Have you already transferred the key?
[17:25] <GeekSquid> !fstab | Res2216firestar
[17:25] <Assid> err how do i eject a drive all together?
[17:25] <pansement> !join ubuntu-fr
[17:25] <a3ist> If you haven't transferred the key yet you'll need to use the password to ssh over; it won't let you automatically log in until it has the key on the server side
[17:25] <Assid> its an externa esata drive.. i can eject/unmount.. but i cant find a way to eject the device
[17:25] <Res2216firestar> Ok, I'll take a look
[17:26] <a3ist> once you get the key in the authorized keys on the server side THEN you can log in without a password
[17:26] <ubuntu_> i try live linuxmint, but not working: my pc is: amdx2 64bit, 1gb ram, gigabyte motherboard with integral vga. problem: mint logo ok, but desktop, not seeing, but vertical lines, and color cubes
[17:26] <GeekSquid> Assid: what type of drive?
[17:26] <IMTheNachoMan> a3ist: i did transfer the .pub key to .ssh/authorized_keys on ubuntu
[17:26] <a3ist> ubuntu_, try lubuntu
[17:26] <Assid> its actually an internal drive mounted over a hdd dock station
[17:26] <wise_crypt> !mint | ubuntu_
[17:26] <ubuntu_> ok
[17:26] <Assid> GeekSquid: connected via esata
[17:27] <kjele> IMTheNachoMan: use ssh-copy-id
[17:27] <mosno> somebody udpate ubottu, crunchbang no longer derive from ubuntu :)
[17:27] <a3ist> IMTheNachoMan, if the username you're using on OSX is different than the one on the ubuntu box, you'll need to specify that in your ssh login
[17:27] <IMTheNachoMan> i  did
[17:27] <a3ist> ie "username@ubuntuhostname"
[17:27] <mosno> (although i suppose people may still be on older versions)
[17:27] <a3ist> hmm....
[17:28] <GeekSquid> Assid: you should be able to sudo umount /dev/sdxxxx the drive and unplug
[17:28] <a3ist> this is a hard one to visualize, since we can't really ask you to pastebin your keys and stuff
[17:28] <a3ist> that'd defeat the purpose of them
[17:28] <dtcrshr> how do i have sound on open office widh pps ?
[17:28] <llutz> IMTheNachoMan: use "ssh -vvv user@host" to connect and watch the output for errors
[17:28] <Assid> GeekSquid: that isnt exactly hot swappable
[17:29] <rallias> how do i find out what my wireless adapter is called?
[17:29] <llutz> rallias: "iwconfig"
[17:29] <a3ist> rallias, ifconfig/iwconfig
[17:30] <kjele> rallias: If you mean SSID then you need to check the router.
[17:30] <zeitsofa> is there a way to setup the new gdm to have the old gdm xdmcp chooser?
[17:30] <onetinsoldier> mosno: i've never looked into crunchbang, mint, nor backtrack. however i decided to take a peek just now at the crunchbang website to see what it said. first thing i see --> "CrunchBang Linux is an Ubuntu based distribution..."  ;-)
[17:30] <Raquel> Helo my name is Raquel
[17:30] <Raquel> max
[17:30] <IMTheNachoMan> llutz: ty
[17:31] <exs> hi
[17:31] <GeekSquid> Assid: the drive still needs to be un-mounted prior to being unplugged, that keeps the drive from getting bricked, if you want true hot swap, get a drobo
[17:31] <trism> onetinsoldier: you need to read the first news post to see what he means
[17:31] <exs> i installed kde with install kubuntu-desktop and after that i deinstalled kde with purge kubuntu-desktop and a tutorial at ubuntuusers. now i have the problem that firefox still uses pixel fonts to display webpages. how to disable it and restore the old default settings?
[17:31] <Assid> drobo?
[17:31] <ubuntu_> how run windows programs on ubuntu?
[17:32] <Corp-Cornpop> anyone know a working freenode.net irc server
[17:32] <onetinsoldier> trism: ok, roger. i'm simply stating the first thing i saw/noticed when the web page loaded up, knowing nothing about crunchbang
[17:32] <doolph> irc.freenode.net
[17:32] <IMTheNachoMan> got it working with rsa
[17:32] <llutz> Corp-Cornpop: chat.freenode.net
[17:32] <IMTheNachoMan> i guess dsa doesn't work
[17:32] <IMTheNachoMan> ty guys
[17:33] <mosno> onetinsoldier: interesting. ok, time to load firefox on this slow box to find you a link :)
[17:33] <a3ist> IMTheNachoMan, RSA is considered more secure anyway
[17:34] <IMTheNachoMan> a3ist: ty sir
[17:34] <onetinsoldier> mosno: well, there is blog post article right below that says... "The first alpha release of CrunchBang 10 is now available. Codenamed “Statler”, this release is, for the first time, built using Debian sources. Changing from Ubuntu to Debian sources marks..."
[17:34] <mosno> onetinsoldier: yes. so it hasn't happened yet, and i jumped the gun :)
[17:35] <onetinsoldier> mosno: but that's in much smaller font size/writing than the first thing that hit me when the page loaded
[17:35] <reenignEesreveR> anyone knows how to run hildon on ubuntu lucid?
[17:35] <mosno> onetinsoldier: well, ubottu factiod is still valid, nonetheless... for now.
[17:35] <Vexc> How can I restart X in Ubuntu Licud Lynxz 10.04?
[17:35] <Vexc> *Lucid Lynxz
[17:36] <desperate-man> need help concerning OpenKM and startup script (sysv)
[17:37] <onetinsoldier> mosno: ahh, their "10th release" still in Alpha stage eh... roger that
[17:37] <gothran> Hi everybody! I have just upade my Karmic Koala to ubuntu studio, but there is no audio!! My laptop is Asus A6VM. Can someone help me?
[17:37] <wise_crypt> !sound > gothran
[17:37] <demifuror> guys is there a way to decompile an autorun.exe and then compile it so ubuntu can run it without needing wine?
[17:38] <desperate-man> need help concerning OpenKM and startup script (sysv)
[17:38] <onetinsoldier> Vexc: careful here. first i want to let you know that after you bring X down, you'll probably need to do the following keyboard combo in order to get to a Virtual Terminal --> Ctrl+Alt+F1
[17:39] <tdnicho> clear
[17:39] <Ekathos> hola
[17:39] <Ekathos> como se hacen las consultas aqui?
[17:39] <onetinsoldier> Vexc: with that said.. the command is --> sudo service gdm stop   ...one you've gotten to a Virtual Terminal, then give this command --> sudo service gdm start
[17:40] <gothran> wise_crypt: thx I check it!
[17:40] <Vexc> onetinsoldier: I was under the impression that GDM and the X server was two different things.
[17:40] <onetinsoldier> Vexc: after you've done all that, then you will have 'restarted x'
[17:40] <blackstar> on Lucid, nautilus does not respect my files permission, i have created files and folders owned by root, ubder other users account, and they are still allow to delete the file ow folder owned by root, how can i fix this issue
[17:40] <Vexc> Okey, thanks.
[17:40] <wise_crypt> gothran : np
[17:40] <llutz> desperate-man: check /etc/init/* where the upstart-scripts are located. sysv-init isn't longer used
[17:41] <oCean__> !es | Ekathos
[17:41] <kjele> blackstar: Does group have permission to delete?
[17:41] <blackstar> kjele no it does not
[17:41] <onetinsoldier> Vexc: they are two different things. someone else would need to explain why 'gdm' is so closely tied to the command that restarts X because i don't know. i'm just trying to answer your original question
[17:42] <kjele> blackstar: can you type ls -la path to file and pastebin it?
[17:42] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> what is the easiest way for me to make things so that my monitor refresh is 72hz instead of the default 60hz?
[17:42] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> i have researched it, and im still not clear on wut to do
[17:43] <blackstar> i don't now exactly how to use pastebin
[17:43] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> 60hz causes me pain
[17:43] <kjele> !pastebin | blackstar
[17:43] <Vexc> onetinsoldier: Thanks, the method you described did what I was looking for.
[17:43] <onetinsoldier> Vexc: roger.. good deal :)

[17:50] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> wise_crypt: i dont think it is a gfx card drvr issue
[17:51] <onetinsoldier> wise_crypt: i don't think the ATI proprietary driver supports a old 9600 video card. i think it has to be an x1200 or newer
