[00:01] <escott> bigtfishbone, are you trying to burn an install cd?
[00:01] <Sami> hello people
[00:01] <earthmeLon> bigtfishbone, Do have brasnero installed?
[00:01] <cassiopeia_> hey guys, i used to have some colors in the Konsole (blue and red) but now theyre gone =(?, anyone know how to get em back?
[00:01] <escott> jiffe99, why not just install openssh
[00:01] <Sami> Would someone help me?
[00:01] <Wally> itaylor57: what OS?
[00:01] <quant> !ask
[00:01] <earthmeLon> bigtfishbone, brasero*
[00:01] <Wally> oh.. NVM
[00:01] <linus_> @bigtfishbone  try right clicking in nautilus and select but disk
[00:01] <escott> cassiopeia_, the colors for the prompt?
[00:01] <cassiopeia_> escott: yeah
[00:02] <bigtfishbone> escott: yeah
[00:02] <cassiopeia_> its all white text
[00:02] <bigtfishbone> lololol
[00:02] <jiffe99> escott: this is in case the machine is locked up etc
[00:02] <jiffe99> I use ILOs/DRACs on servers, I'm looking for something that I can use in a desktop
[00:02] <escott> cassiopeia_, the prompt only shows for terminals that report themselves as xterm-color. you can enable force-color-prompt in your .bashrc
[00:03] <escott> bigtfishbone, what platform are you trying to burn the install cd from
[00:03] <bigtfishbone> earthmeLon, i don't have it installed
[00:03] <Sami> People, how can I fix purple semi-transparent background in moving windows? I am using Kubuntu 11.04 with open source RADEON Mobility M7 7500 driver.
[00:03] <bigtfishbone> escott
[00:03] <m_fulder> entel,  I've tried to telnet <externalAddress> 25 -  ECHLO  MAIL FROM: <myMail>  RECPT TO: <mail> ... but the recpt to line fails with an error that Im not logged in :O
[00:03] <m_fulder> why is that?
[00:03] <cassiopeia_> escott: so i just add force-color-prompt in my .bashrc?
[00:03] <escott> jiffe99, a watchdog device... thats pretty rare in desktop sytems don't know of any
[00:03] <bigtfishbone> escott, ubuntu ?
[00:04] <escott> bigtfishbone, well i always go back to cdrecord on the terminal cdrecord -vvvv /dev/dvd -data filename.iso but im sure there are other approaches
[00:04] <entel> m_fulder: double check the auth credentials i suppose
[00:05] <Sami> bleat' :(
[00:05] <escott> cassiopeia_, add force_color_prompt=yes near the top before the if [ -n $force_color_prompt ]
[00:05] <drpfenderson> I am having trouble creating a symbolic link to a file. Giving the error "No such file or directory" - of course not! I'm creating the file!
[00:05] <bigtfishbone> escott, do i need anything else but standard ubuntu installation to do that ?
[00:05] <cassiopeia_> where can i find the bashrc?
[00:05] <rinkukokiri> heh i tink i managed to avoid a syslockup today by usin the naughty app killer
[00:06] <escott> !info cdrecord
[00:06] <linus_> @ casiopeia /home/usename/.bashrc
[00:07] <bigtfishbone> escoot, bash: !info: event not found
[00:07] <drpfenderson> I'm using the command 'ln /home/user/file.ext /home/user/newfile.ext' - but it says this is incorrect.
[00:07] <wtracy> drpfenderson, are you certain you are providing the arguments in the correct order? ln doesn't work the way many people expect it to
[00:07] <escott> bigtfishbone, i was trying to figure out what package cdrecord was in. its evidently not in cdrecord.
[00:07] <m_fulder> entel,  you mean in postfix configuration?
[00:08] <drpfenderson> From what I understand, it is 'ln ./original.ext ./symbolic-link.ext'...is that incorrect?
[00:08] <drpfenderson> @wtracy
[00:08] <bigtfishbone> escott, im lost xD
[00:08] <escott> !wodim | bigtfishbone install wodim or install brasero if you want a gui
[00:08] <nimbiotics> Hello ya'll. I created an iso file using DVD to which I appended some files using iso master. I burned a dvd which I tried in 2 different dvds and worked in one of them, but what really troubles me is that I cant run the dvd in the same computer I used to burn it, VLC gives me the error message shown at http://paste.ubuntu.com/626938/
[00:08] <wtracy> drpfenderson, it looks like you're doing it right
[00:09] <entel> m_fulder: yes
[00:09] <bigtfishbone> escott, as in "sudo apt-get install brasero" ?
[00:09] <wtracy> drpfenderson, are you creating the link in an existing folder, that you have write access to?
[00:09] <escott> bigtfishbone, yes
[00:10] <escott> bigtfishbone, they have instructions with screenshots on the ubuntu website
[00:10] <wtracy> drpfenderson, also, are both your source and destination on the same partition on the same device?
[00:10] <drpfenderson> wtracy, Yes. I am. At first I just "ln -s" the directory, but I only need 1 file linked, so I'm trying to just 'ln' the file....
[00:10] <filo1234> drpfenderson: why you are using ./ ?
[00:10] <drpfenderson> wtracy, yes. Both on the same drive.
[00:10] <drpfenderson> I'm not...that was an example
[00:11] <bigtfishbone> scott, thank you
[00:11] <filo1234> ln -s /orig.path/file  /dest/path
[00:11] <drpfenderson> filo1234 | wtracy : This is what I type and get: http://paste.ubuntu.com/626939/
[00:12] <drpfenderson> wait
[00:12] <drpfenderson> crap
[00:12] <Breetai> Hey all, are there any cool unity keyboard shortcuts for moving windows between monitors in a 2 monitor setup?
[00:12] <drpfenderson> I was using ls
[00:12] <drpfenderson> :|
[00:12] <drpfenderson> not ln
[00:12] <FloodBot1> drpfenderson: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:12] <wtracy> drpfenderson: okay, heh :-)
[00:12] <jpmut> I'm on Xubuntu (10.04) and I can't find where to stop Alt+Click from grabbing the window. The window manager doesn't have this particular short-cut in it's list
[00:12] <drpfenderson> Sorry - it is a bad habit. I don't mean to be flooding. Thanks anyways. >.< Can't believe it.
[00:13] <filo1234> drpfenderson: on destinotion don't put file name.dat
[00:13] <filo1234> /home/drpfenderson/Dropbox/backup/system\ files/.bitcoin/wallet.dat /home/drpfenderson/.bitcoin/
[00:13] <filo1234> ops
[00:14] <filo1234> ln /home/drpfenderson/Dropbox/backup/system\ files/.bitcoin/wallet.dat /home/drpfenderson/.bitcoin/
[00:14] <filo1234> or ln -s is better
[00:14] <drpfenderson> Thanks filo1234 - I appreciate it. thanks also, wtracy. filo - I thought -s was for dirs?
[00:14] <filo1234> sim link
[00:14] <jpmut> I'm on Xubuntu (10.04) and I can't find where to stop Alt+Click from grabbing the window. The window manager doesn't have this particular short-cut in it's list
[00:15] <drpfenderson> That worked perfectly, filo1234. Thanks again for the help.
[00:15] <filo1234> not at all :)
[00:16] <j2daosh> hey all. where do i go for some KML help? I'm trying to write a KML and import into Google Earth, but it wont fill the polygon and I cant figure out why
[00:17] <jpmut> is there a way to manually edit window-manager shortcuts? Without using it's panel?
[00:17] <j2daosh> i tried #google/googleapis/kml but everyone was afk
[00:18] <escott> jpmut, what wm
[00:20] <cassiopeia_> hmm essoc it still doesnt show colors for my "Usesrname!"
[00:20] <nimbiotics> Hello ya'll. I created an iso file using DVD to which I appended some files using iso master. I burned a dvd which I tried in 2 different dvds and worked in one of them, but what really troubles me is that I cant run the dvd in the same computer I used to burn it, VLC gives me the error message shown at http://paste.ubuntu.com/626938/
[00:20] <escott> cassiopeia_, did you open a new terminal window
[00:21] <cmartin> Hello Everybody
[00:21] <cmartin> Can anybody read my messages? I am testing my chat on the virtual machine
[00:21] <cassiopeia_> i rebooted the comp even
[00:21] <Breetai> cmartin: Yup
[00:21] <cmartin> Ok Thanks a lot
[00:21] <cassiopeia_> hm now it shows.
[00:21] <cassiopeia_> k<3
[00:22] <cassiopeia_> but its all neon green o.O
[00:22] <cmartin> Thanks Breetai
[00:22] <escott> cassiopeia_, look in /etc/skel/.bashrc for an example of how the prompt variables are set. make sure you have the relevant lines
[00:22] <pie_> Has anyone ever had problems with the taskbar and "start menu bar" being blacok or ?not rendering?(at least thats what i think it was)
[00:23] <cmartin> Hi aliverius, can you read me ?
[00:23] <pie_> they were stull fully functional and the popp menus worked, only the bars were invisible
[00:23] <cmartin> I am testing my virtual machine
[00:23] <aliverius> pong cmartin
[00:24] <cassiopeia_> ecott: for the colors? i know i used to have Red, and not neon green o.O
[00:24] <cmartin> great !! Thanks a lot
[00:24] <aliverius> np
[00:24] <pie_> I managed to find a solution, I didn't reboot because I could still work and finish what i needed to, I fixed it by putting the Hulu player in full screen and pressing esc to exit it and that seemed to fix it
[00:24] <davidhurwich__> hey everyone
[00:24] <pie_> most likely and flash application cvapable fo full screne should fix it, i'm unable to replicate the issue
[00:25] <pie_> *any, capable
[00:25] <JRWR> im trying to do a test with nc with a reverse proxy type deal, and this command seems to hang "nc -l 31337 0<backpipe | tee -a inflow | nc localhost 8080 | tee -a outflow 1>backpipe" I get no output across the network when i try to attach to the port...
[00:25] <escott> cassiopeia_, these two lines set the default color scheme if [ "$color_prompt" = yes ]; then
[00:25] <escott>     PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ '
[00:26] <netsurf3> hey guys i need a bit of help: i have done everything i can to enable coolbits but I cant seem to do so on 270.x nvidia drivers lucid  on a GT440
[00:26] <cassiopeia_> i understand jibberish of that lasssst line o.O
[00:26] <escott> cassiopeia_, i dont know why yours is not working. could be because you have managed to unsource your .bashrc, could be your terminal isn't respecting the colors etc
[00:27] <Guest41820> Hello everybody
[00:27] <carmony> question: I have userA, and userB, and I want to be able to allow userA to issue sudo commands as userB without requiring a password. i.e. (logged in as userA) sudo -u userB rm file.txt (and this will not prompt for a password)
[00:27] <cassiopeia_> well my colors work, but its allt he wrong colors :P, in bt5, root@bt: was red before
[00:28] <Guest41820> can somebody tell me where can I find Korean fonts ? please
[00:29] <aeon-ltd> Guest41820: for browsing?
[00:29] <quant> Guest41820, Ubuntu Software Center and search for "korean"
[00:29] <Guest41820> No aeon-ltd , but I need the files
[00:30] <escott> carmony, /etc/sudoers I think you want a line A B = (B : B) | B check man sudoers
[00:31] <carmony> escott: ok, thanks
[00:31] <Guest41820> quant, you didn't understand me, you see the variation of choice for latin fonts verdana times new roman, I need other fonts, but korean, please
[00:31] <Guest41820> :)
[00:31] <guampa> carmony: for any command would be "userA userB = NOPASSWD: ALL"
[00:31] <aeon-ltd> Guest41820: couldn't you just google and find some like - http://cooltext.com/Fonts-Unicode-Korean is there a font you're looking for?
[00:31] <cassiopeia_> escott, which format is the color encoding in on the .bashrc? it doesnt seem to be hex?
[00:32] <Guest41820> aeon-ltd, I don't know exactly, all I have is a picture, I have to download or buy lot of fonts, but I don't know where, I've been looking on Dafonts without trace
[00:32] <cmartin> Hello carmony
[00:32] <carmony> cmartin: hey
[00:32] <escott> cassiopeia_, the first bit is an escape sequence. the second is the color. i dont know the exact coding
[00:33] <cassiopeia_> escape sequence?
[00:34] <cmartin> holaaaaaaa
[00:34] <pavlo> hola
[00:34] <pavlo> como habro el unity? no me lo puede abrir, solo me abre el ubuntu clasico
[00:34] <Corey> !es | pavlo
[00:35] <pavlo> how i cant open unity? i try but it just open ubuntu classic
[00:35] <jordotech> whats up guys.  I'm having a predicament with apache on my ubuntu machine, its periodically spiking into like 30 apache threads and grinding to a halt... can anyone point me in the right direction?
[00:35] <pavlo> ok, im going to speak english
[00:35] <pavlo> dont be angry
[00:35] <Corey> jordotech: #httpd is likely your friend.
[00:35] <jordotech> thank you
[00:36] <pavlo> how i cant open unity? i try but it just open ubuntu classic :( can somebody help me?
[00:36] <YoJoe> hey everyone
[00:36] <Guest41820> Ok
[00:36] <Guest41820> Thanks
[00:37] <Guest41820> and good night
[00:37] <escott> carmony, actual it would be more like B ALL = (A) ALL the part before the = is the host, the part in parenthesis is what privilege to run with and the last bit are the commands allowed
[00:37] <quant> pavlo, what is your graphics chip?
[00:37] <pavlo> now im using virtual machine, but really my cpu its an imac
[00:37] <pavlo> i use mac but i want to try the new unity
[00:37] <quant> pavlo, I'm unsure you can get 3d functions needed for unity under a vm
[00:38] <quant> pavlo, so you need to actually install it
[00:38] <escott> pavlo, you need to install the guest-additions
[00:38] <pavlo> y use oracle VM Virtual Box
[00:38] <pavlo> ok, thanks guys
[00:39] <YoJoe> hey everyone i have a question about wireless network driver
[00:39] <pavlo> sorry for my english
[00:39] <YoJoe> i recently upgraded from 10.04 to 11.04
[00:39] <Corey> YoJoe: Then by all means ask it.
[00:39] <quant> !ask | YoJoe
[00:39] <YoJoe> i doing so my wireless network driver is not working
[00:39] <YoJoe> im tried uninstalling and installing it again but i cant seem to pick up wireless networks anymore
[00:40] <YoJoe> any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
[00:40] <aeon-ltd> YoJoe: did it used to work?
[00:41] <YoJoe> yeah, under 10.04 i had no problems locating wireless networks in the area
[00:42] <YoJoe> its only not worked since upgrading to 11.04
[00:42] <Somelauw> okay flash sucks a lot. My comp just crashed twice in a row when watching a southpark movie.
[00:42] <Somelauw> s/****/flash isn't that great
[00:42] <quant> Somelauw, I does suck, but doesn't crash here (32 bit?)
[00:42] <Somelauw> 64bit here
[00:43] <Somelauw> And using firefox4.
[00:43] <Somelauw> And a nvidia card.
[00:43] <quant> Somelauw, 64 bit support for flash is bad, as far as I know, I suggest 32 bit Ubuntu
[00:44] <quant> which is solely the problem of adobe, since it's proprietary software that they write badly
[00:45] <GridCube> im using 10.04 and im happy whit firefox 3.6.17 and i dont really want to update it to 4.0.1, but i need to test some things, is there a way to install it whit other name so it wont replace the standard firefox launch and will only load if i do something like firefox-4?
[00:46] <cavalier_prime> GridCube:  make an Ubuntu virtual machine and do it
[00:46] <th0r> GridCube: you can download the tar.gz from the website, install it to /opt, and link it to /usr/local/bin as any filename you want
[00:47] <GridCube> :D th0r thats more like it
[00:47] <GridCube> thanks
[00:47] <YoJoe> not to hog attention, but any idea about my non-working wireless network driver on 11.04
[00:47] <Corey> YoJoe: What do the logs say?
[00:48] <YoJoe> logs? sorry im a newbie, what logs?
[00:52] <YoJoe> hi, once again, which logs were you saying i should check?
[00:52] <Somelauw> I will not go back to 32 just because the people at adobe don't support it.
[00:53] <cavalier_prime> don't worry, the flash-less web will be here in like 5 yrs anyway...
[00:54] <Somelauw> 5 years. Can vlc media player play flash movies? Maybe I will just download every movie and use vlc player.
[00:54] <quant> Somelauw, gnash is said to work well with youtube
[00:54] <Somelauw> Although downloading flash movies is illegal or something, I heard.
[00:55] <yeastwars> is there a way to make the unity sidebar not show up every single time I drag something in firefox?
[00:56] <yeastwars> related: is there a "go away and die in a fire" button for the sidebar somewhere? It has a tendency to stay stuck on top of other windows for no apparent reason
[00:56] <quant> Somelauw, what's your current flash 64 version?
[00:56] <scarleo> Does anyone here know something about pgp/gpg keys?
[00:57] <Somelauw> flash 10.3 r181
[00:57] <cavalier_prime> yeastwars:  you are gonna have to wait for 11.10 for those features
[00:57] <yeastwars> scarleo: there's 1515 people here. Odds are that yes, there is someone who knows about gpg keys
[00:58] <yeastwars> cavalier_prime: oh well, thanks
[00:58] <yeastwars> scarleo: (my point being, just ask)
[00:58] <scarleo> great, I'm just trying to understand, If I need to send an encrypted mail to someone, all they have to do is have their mail address registered on a key server with their public key, right?
[00:58] <scarleo> yeastwars: I know :)
[00:58] <Corey> scarleo: You've got to retrieve their public key somehow.
[00:59] <th0r> scarleo: they don't need to be registered, they just need to send you their public key
[00:59] <Guest9617> Can anyone help me with mdadm
[00:59] <Somelauw> I was actually watching southparkstudios.com instead of youtube.
[00:59] <th0r> scarleo: a lot of people put their public key in the signature block on their email
[00:59] <rinkukokiri> how to increase scrollback in xchat?
[00:59] <rinkukokiri> lol nvm
[01:00] <scarleo> Corey: Well if I have pgp support in mail client, and they are registered, then we don't need to exchange keys? Because I suppose I encrypt the messages I send with his public key. Have I understood this correct?
[01:00] <Guest9617> i trying to fix my RAID6, all drives are alive and working  but mdadm keep saying he cant mount the RAID with 3 drives(while there is 6)
[01:00] <Guest9617> assemble*
[01:00] <Corey> Guest9617: cat /proc/mdstats if memory serves it may be useful.
[01:00] <yeastwars> vague question of the day: firefox has been incredibly slow when scrolling and generally any kind of interaction such as click on a textarea to give it focus. It has also been eating ~50% ram. Halp? It wasn't as bad before I updated to natty (not that it wasn't abysmal in the first place, but still)
[01:01] <scarleo> th0r: Ok, so I either give it to them or just send the email straight away if they are registered somewhere?
[01:01] <quant> yeastwars, is it also slow on pages with no flash?
[01:01] <Somelauw> restart firefox
[01:01] <Guest9617> Corey ???
[01:01] <yeastwars> quant: it's slow in general; I haven't noticed a pattern
[01:01] <yeastwars> I only have 50 tabs open
[01:01] <Guest9617> i tried to : mdadm -A drive1 drive2 drive3 drive4 etc, witouth any results
[01:01] <yeastwars> most of them with flash blocked
[01:02] <lolcat> yeastwars: I have 2000
[01:02] <lolcat> err, 200
[01:02] <lolcat> Irc windows
[01:02] <quant> yeastwars, try installing a cpu frequency indicator and turning your processor to top frequency all the time and see if that's the problem
[01:02] <yeastwars> quant: can you recommend a particular one?
[01:02] <quant> just search google for ppa for one... there was one on omgubuntu or webupd8 or something
[01:03] <Corey>  /65
[01:03] <tjiggi_fo> yeastwars, I use a ppa from sevenmachines
[01:03]  * yeastwars wishes firefox had a 'top' feature already
[01:04] <Somelauw> firefox + flash still seem to run somehow without memory leaks or I don't understand how to use valgrind.
[01:04] <Muon> er, any tips on making the Intel graphics driver's performance suck less?
[01:04] <yeastwars> Muon: install windows?
[01:04] <Guest9617> anyone else familiar with mdadm?
[01:04] <yeastwars> :\
[01:04] <Muon> yeastwars: not an option
[01:05] <Muon> even menus open ridiculously slowly
[01:06] <quant> Muon, are there proprietary drivers for it?
[01:06] <earthmeLon> Wondering if anybody has experience with, or knows of a good place to look to start troubleshooting touchpad problems (not able to horizontal OR two finger scroll)
[01:07] <itaylor57> Muon, what intel processor do you have
[01:07] <Muon> quant: no
[01:08] <Muon> itaylor57: hang on, I'll pastebin /proc/cpuinfo and lspci
[01:08] <itaylor57> Muon, I have Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 18) and experience no lag at all
[01:08] <Muon> this thing is ancient

[01:11] <Trfsrfr> and I need to figure it out fast
[01:11] <quant> rubenjr7777, check restricted drivers program to install proprietary drivers if you want to do so
[01:12] <earthmeLon> Wondering if anybody has experience with, or knows of a good place to look to start troubleshooting touchpad problems (not able to horizontal OR two finger scroll or disable touchpad while typing).  11.04 on Vaio VPCF126FM
[01:12] <quant> zolgar, sudo apt-get install kde-desktop used to work a version or two ago, not sure if it works now
[01:12] <zolgar> Thanks, quant. :) I'll give it a shot.
[01:13] <rubenjr7777> quant, can i instal games from the web on this?
[01:13] <andreas__> Urm, I'm kinda new to Linux. And I'm trying to install spotify on it (Linux version) followed the guid on the Spotify website - to the point, but getting a "The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[01:13] <andreas__>  spotify-client-qt : Depends: libqt4-webkit (>= 4.5.0) but it is not going to be installed
[01:13] <andreas__> E: Broken packages
[01:13] <andreas__> " at the end
[01:13] <quant> zolgar, then just choose kde session on login
[01:13] <andreas__> hmm..pastebin next time, sorry xD
[01:13] <quant> rubenjr7777, what do you mean by "games from the web"?
[01:13] <rubenjr7777> quant like .exe extension games
[01:13] <quant> rubenjr7777, .exe files are mostly windows file that you cannot run under ubuntu
[01:14] <Hilikus> has anyone managed to install boxee in ubuntu 11.04? i'm trying a fresh install with it and there's a package i can't find: libsdl-image1.2
[01:14] <rubenjr7777> ahh okay what types of games do i have to get?
[01:14] <quant> rubenjr7777, ubuntu software center -> games
[01:14] <madsailor> Trfsrfr, if you detail your issue and the steps you have taken so far someone may be able to help you
[01:14] <rubenjr7777> quant, they arent that good though. like are there any extreme 3d games
[01:14] <rubenjr7777> like call of duty black ops on here
[01:14] <Trfsrfr> madsailor, okay, thanks.
[01:15] <quant> rubenjr7777, there are no games like that (almost) for GNU/Linux (Ubuntu or any other)
[01:15] <quant> rubenjr7777, but, you may be able to run some through wine
[01:16] <quant> !wine | rubenjr7777
[01:16] <andreas__> anyone know where I can get a backup of /etc/apt/sources.list for Ubuntu 11.04, a fresh one?
[01:16] <Trfsrfr> I installed a hp deskjet 3050, and have printed with it. but I cannot make it scan, and cannot find a place to adjust anything.
[01:16] <itaylor57> Muon, yes that is quite old, have you tried running classic instead of unity?
[01:17] <madsailor> Trfsrfr, check in the software center for hplip
[01:17] <Muon> itaylor57: I *am* running classic
[01:17] <rubenjr7777> ubottu thank you
[01:17] <rubenjr7777> quant thank you
[01:17] <scarleo> How do I encrypt an email in Evolution if I have recieved someones pgp/gpg public key?
[01:17] <zolgar> quant, It didn't work, so I tried sudo apt-get kubuntu-desktop, and now it seems to be installing the necessary files
[01:17] <quant> rubenjr7777, sure
[01:17] <thecrazy88> Hello all! I'm using ubuntu for around 2 weeks, and it's being great. But I'm having a major problem in using it more. I depend heavily on MatLab and Photoshop. And I can't use equivalents, I need the originals. Without a virtual machine, there really is no other way I can run those properlly? I've tried Wine and others but no luck. A friend of mine has MatLab for linux but I only have for windows.
[01:17] <quant> zolgar, ah, right
[01:18] <madsailor> Trfsrfr, it is a config utility for hp devices.  Also, have you tried using simple scan that comes standard with ubuntu?
[01:18] <Vimes> Sourcelist for 11.04 ? : >
[01:18] <Muon> itaylor57: don't even have the option to use the flash new DE trainwrecks :P
[01:18] <Muon> *flashy
[01:18] <itaylor57> Muon, maybe someone else more versed in classic can give you help
[01:19] <Trfsrfr> madsailor, I have not. All of this is fairly new to me still...
[01:19] <quant> thecrazy88, haven't you, more or less, answered yourself already there? :)
[01:19] <Muon> itaylor57: it's not so much "classic" as it's a driver problem
[01:19] <itaylor57> Muon, you are running natty right?
[01:19] <Muon> I know glxgears isn't a benchmark, but I only get 20 FPS in fullscreen
[01:19] <Muon> yes
[01:20] <madsailor> Trfsrfr, ok...if you go to the applications menu->graphics->simple scan this is the standard scanning utility that ubuntu ships with
[01:20] <Muon> and that's the "accelerated" version
[01:20] <thecrazy88> quant I think so xD But wanted to be really sure I've gone through all the possibilities. So decided to ask you guys who know better than me!
[01:20] <madsailor> it works quite well with most hardware
[01:20] <Trfsrfr> hey thanks
[01:20] <quant> thecrazy88, all I can do is recommend gimp again and running matlab with wine perhaps (or does mathematica do the stuff you need?)
[01:21] <mtec007> I've been battling flash, how can i get flash working on 64bit natty?
[01:22] <madsailor> np.  Like I said, if you want to do all the fancy HP stuff like print head cleaning and aligning etc, you can install hplip from the ubuntu software center
[01:22] <i3luefire> im having the same problems with ubuntu and archbang but not windows and only sometimes with lubuntu
[01:22] <i3luefire> i need help with getting my laptop to connect to my lan. i have arch and kde installed
[01:23] <thecrazy88> quant thank you about gimp, didn't know about that one. I can work with mathematica for myself, but teachers don't want to learn it ahah, they only like matlab. Probably my best chance is to work out a way of having it for linux.
[01:23] <quant> thecrazy88, gimp is really good, and as for math software, besides mathematica and maple (pretty sure there's maple for gnu/linux too), there are many FOSS alternatives available that might suffice
[01:24] <Trfsrfr> gimme a minute
[01:25] <rationalOgre> i3luefire: Curious, why ask for support for Arch in a ubuntu channel? #archlinux
[01:25] <thecrazy88> quant, thank you very much for the names, I'll take a look on those alternatives ;)
[01:25] <quant> thecrazy88, sure ;-)
[01:25] <sam555> hello all!
[01:26] <sam555> anyone know the apt-get command to download tight vnc for ubuntu netbook?
[01:26] <sam555> i just want the viewer
[01:26] <Hilikus> has anyone managed to install boxee in ubuntu 11.04? i'm trying a fresh install with it and there's a package i can't find: libsdl-image1.2
[01:26] <i3luefire> rationalOgre: bc it is also happening in ubuntu and sometimes lubuntu
[01:26] <rationalOgre> i3luefire: Sounds like a hardware issue then.
[01:27] <mtec007> I've been battling flash, how can i get flash working on 64bit natty? i cant get it working on firefox or chromium-browser
[01:27] <i3luefire> rationalOgre: but not windoze
[01:28] <sam555> lost connection, sorry.
[01:28] <sam555> Anyone know the command line for sudo apt get install tight vnc?
[01:29] <earthmeLon> If I use mtr on my router and get a 25% packet loss, does that explain why my internet is slow at times?
[01:29] <mtec007> sam555: did you try looking for it? sudo apt-get install tight(tab tab)
[01:29] <Nisstyre> earthmeLon: yes
[01:29] <quant> sam555, apt-cache search tight | grep vnc and check that output
[01:29] <Nisstyre> earthmeLon: packet loss means more packets have to get resent
[01:29] <Nisstyre> therefore slowing everything down
[01:30] <earthmeLon> Nisstyre, How can I tell that the packets are truly lost, and that the router isn't ignoring them because they ar ICMP?
[01:30] <Nisstyre> earthmeLon: with TCP you can tell if a packet was lost or not
[01:30] <Nisstyre> UDP is a different story
[01:30] <earthmeLon> Nisstyre, do you know how to send tcp packets with mtr?
[01:30] <Nisstyre> earthmeLon: TCP is guaranteed to be delivered
[01:30] <Nisstyre> earthmeLon: not with mtr, no
[01:31] <earthmeLon> Hmmm, is it possible with ping Nisstyre ?
[01:31] <Nisstyre> earthmeLon: earthmeLon just fire up wireshark
[01:31] <earthmeLon> I guess I'm just over thinking this.  My router couldn't possibly be so bogged down it's ignoring ICMP/udp, eh?
[01:31] <Nisstyre> and see if it's sending multiple PSH packets
[01:31] <Nisstyre> aka repeats
[01:32] <earthmeLon> Yes, yes, I saw many repeats last time I opened wireshark, Nisstyre .  I think this fishtank behind me is borking my connection
[01:32] <Nisstyre> earthmeLon: but, ping should tell you if packets are being lost...
[01:32] <earthmeLon> It's the only thing between my laptop and the router
[01:32] <Nisstyre> earthmeLon: huh? fishtank?
[01:32] <Nisstyre> somehow I doubt it
[01:32] <Nisstyre> what's your router model?
[01:33] <earthmeLon> Well, don't florescent light affect radio waves?
[01:33] <Nisstyre> I've never heard that...
[01:33]  * earthmeLon joins #physics
[01:33] <earthmeLon> :P
[01:33] <Nisstyre> are they magnetic?
[01:33] <Nisstyre> specifically, electromagnetic?
[01:34] <sam555> thank quant and mtec007
[01:34] <quant> sure
[01:35] <Nisstyre> earthmeLon: looks like they do produce some kind of electromagnetic radiation
[01:35] <Nisstyre> so you might be right
[01:35] <madsailor> Nisstyre, maybe his yellow tangs are full of heavy metals like tuna or swordfish and that is swallowing the lost packets ;)
[01:36] <Nisstyre> it would still have to be on the same frequency though
[01:36] <Clockmens> Gents
[01:36] <Imaonline> anyone with good mdadm knowledge can help me with this http://pastebin.com/E7i0cv3u
[01:36] <quant> earthmeLon, I really don't think that affects your connection
[01:36] <earthmeLon> lol Nisstyre I turned the light off and the % loss is decreasing consistantly
[01:37] <dijonyummy123> is there a way to see io stats graphically, similar to cpu, memory, network?
[01:37] <Clockmens> How do I install Windows 7 + ubuntu on the same raid array (Windows already installed) when ubuntu can't see it in the installer.
[01:37] <mtec007> Does anyone have any ideas on getting flash to work on 64bit natty?
[01:37] <Nisstyre> earthmeLon: I don't believe you
[01:37] <earthmeLon> Will you believe youtube, Nisstyre ?
[01:37] <madsailor> dijonyummy, the 'system monitor' has a network tab
[01:38] <Nisstyre> earthmeLon: possibly
[01:38] <earthmeLon> It went from 30% down to 10% and now it's flux'ing between 10-14%
[01:38] <dan_> problem with update manager: i load it and I see a list of package updates. I click install updates button, the window blinks for a second and them I am brought back to the update manager screen. any ideas on how i can debug?
[01:38] <Clockmens> Anybody?
[01:38] <myloveisnick> Hey guys I'm having alot of trouble installing openvpn on ubuntu 10.03 does anyone have a guide that is VERY NOOB friendly?
[01:39] <Nisstyre> earthmeLon: that's not proof the light caused it though
[01:39] <quant> dan_, sudo apt-get upgrade?
[01:39] <dijonyummy123> madsailor: but thats network not, disk io
[01:40] <earthmeLon> Absolutely not Nisstyre.  Proof would be 1%.  It's actually back up to 19%.  so, yeah, the effect (if any) was minimal
[01:40] <madsailor> dijonyummy123, ahhhh..sry idk offhand
[01:40] <earthmeLon> Nisstyre, If I opened wireshark, would it tell me WHY/HOW the packets are being lost?
[01:40] <glassresistor> im trying to add a second ati card to my 11.04 box
[01:40] <dan_> quant: hmm, that seems to be working. thanks. wonder why the GUI doesnt work, though
[01:41] <Corey> earthmeLon: Where are you seeing packet loss?
[01:41] <glassresistor> its not recognizing whichever card is in the 2nd slot, but it is showing up in pci-e
[01:41] <quant> dan_, try after upgrade, but I doubt it will be different, and no idea why it's not working, sorry
[01:41] <dan_> quant: will do. thanks
[01:41] <ozzloy> why is the group of users allowed to become root called "wheel"?
[01:41] <earthmeLon> Between my wlan0->router  (so, first hop)
[01:41] <quant> dan_, sure
[01:41] <Corey> earthmeLon: Ah, over wireless then?
[01:41] <myloveisnick> Anyone know why this command isnot working sudo apt-get install openvpn
[01:41] <earthmeLon> Yes, Corey.
[01:41] <Corey> earthmeLon: Did you try changing channels / base station positioning?
[01:41] <glassresistor> it might be a power issue but im curious what i need to do to get it to show up either way
[01:42] <quant> myloveisnick, what's the reported error?
[01:42] <myloveisnick> E: Couldnt find package openvpn
[01:42] <quant> myloveisnick, perhaps because there's no package openvpn then?
[01:42] <Nisstyre> earthmeLon: what's your network adapter model?
[01:42] <glassresistor> would it show up in pci-e even if its under powered?
[01:42] <Corey> earthmeLon: Ideal world, you'd run 5ghz and bypass the overloaded 2.4ghz spectrum, but that requires newer hardware than many folks have.
[01:42] <myloveisnick> quant sorry noob here how should I go about getting it?
[01:42] <myloveisnick> Im using putty
[01:43] <quant> myloveisnick, that package is not available in repositories, it might have a diffrent name, I don't know what you're after
[01:43] <Nisstyre> earthmeLon: also, did you try fiddling with the router antenna? Sometimes the best position isn't the most obvious.
[01:43] <myloveisnick> I guess Im just trying to install openvpn on this ubuntu vps
[01:43] <myloveisnick> but I cant figure out how to get it to install in the first place, all of the guides online just state that command
[01:43] <Clockmens> Nobody got any ideas for my issue?
[01:43] <Trfsrfr> madsailor, you still around?
[01:43] <Nisstyre> it should actually be so the side of the antenna is facing your direction
[01:44] <quant> myloveisnick, are you on natty?
[01:44] <Clockmens> anybody about?
[01:45] <myloveisnick> natty?
[01:45] <quant> myloveisnick, 11.04
[01:45] <earthmeLon> Corey, I've got DD-WRT on a D-Link DIR-615-E3/E4 .  Channel 10.  Mixed (2.4GHz).  I do not see a 5GHz option on it
[01:45] <myloveisnick> Yes
[01:45] <myloveisnick> Noo
[01:45] <quant> myloveisnick, apt-get install openvpn does work on my natty
[01:45] <myloveisnick> 10.04
[01:45] <myloveisnick> ubuntu 10.04
[01:45] <quant> myloveisnick, it's not in 10.04 repos then
[01:45] <myloveisnick> ah
[01:46] <earthmeLon> Corey, if I understand correctly, there are 'blind-spots' at the TOP and BOTTOM of the antenna.  I normally position one antenna straight up, and another 45deg offset so that I amnot towards the point
[01:46] <Corey> earthmeLon: What's the distance from the router to the machine in question?
[01:46] <illmortal> Anyone know of a tutorial on how to add Windows 7 from an OEM disc onto a USB disk?
[01:47] <wtracy> quant, myloveisnick, Ubuntu package search says Lucid has an openvpn package
[01:47] <quant> illmortal, this is ubuntu support
[01:47] <illmortal> right... using Ubuntu <_<;
[01:47] <earthmeLon> Corey.  10-15ft.  There is a wall (sheet-rock) and a fish tank in the way.  I have turned off the florescent light, although I have been told that should have no/minimal effect
[01:48] <Corey> earthmeLon: Crappy microwave, cordless phone nearby?
[01:48] <Corey> earthmeLon: Lots of other networks visible in the network list?
[01:48] <earthmeLon> I have two AP's in 'vision'.  One on channel 10.  One on channel 4.  There are no others
[01:49] <earthmeLon> Corey, wicd shows 90% signal strength
[01:49] <Clockmens> How do I install Windows 7 + ubuntu on the same raid array (Windows already installed) when ubuntu can't see it in the installer.
[01:50] <jgp> Has ubuntu 11 removed xen bindings in favor of kvm?
[01:51] <robin0800> Clockmens: the alternate cd ?
[01:52] <Clockmens> Will that work? Currently im on the live CD, and I seed my RAID array as seperate drives
[01:52] <Clockmens> see*
[01:52] <jgp> Is it a hardware raid or software?
[01:52] <quickslvr> Hi,
[01:52] <Clockmens> Pretty sure its hardware
[01:52] <earthmeLon> Corey, I am going to go to a LAN pc and ensure myself that it is indeed the wireless causing the issue, although I do believe it is.
[01:53] <Clockmens> ASUS Crosshair IV Formula, using the built in
[01:53] <jgp> Clockmens, make sure it's configured then usually you can log in during bios startup
[01:53] <Clockmens> When I installed windows I had to load a driver from CD.
[01:53] <db> a
[01:54] <Clockmens> but I defined the raid array in bios
[01:54] <Clockmens> Thats hardware, right?
[01:54] <Trfsrfr> does ubuntu offer a printer/copier/scanner folder somewhere? I need more than a 'simple scan'.
[01:54] <Guest51618> i can not use ubuntu as well as use winxp
[01:55] <robin0800> Clockmens: the alternate cd does raid I think
[01:55] <Guest51618> is tu stange
[01:55] <quickslvr> How do i open multiple terminal session in ubuntu? I can´t find the option to do so.
[01:55] <Hilikus> i updated yesterday to 11.04 and now every hour cron is sending this error
[01:55] <quant> quickslvr, it's a funny thing, open new terminal tabs from the menu
[01:55] <robin0800> quickslvr: middle click
[01:55] <Hilikus> PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/xmlrpc.so' - /usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/xmlrpc.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0
[01:55] <bigterd> quickslvr, shift+ctrl+n
[01:55] <Nisstyre> or use urxvt :D
[01:55] <Hilikus> any ideas how to fix it?
[01:55] <Nisstyre> Hilikus: yes
[01:55] <quickslvr> quant: yeah did that but it keeps going to the session already opened.
[01:56] <Nisstyre> Hilikus: compile xmlrpc.so
[01:56] <Clockmens> robin0800: Ill try the alternate, thanks
[01:56] <Nisstyre> or comment out that module in the php.ini file
[01:56] <aguitel> what key need to press to show grub menu ?
[01:56] <quant> quickslvr, what others said, or open new tab and drag it out
[01:56] <Clockmens> Also, why is my close button etc. on the top LEFT of the window, I want it on the right?
[01:56] <quickslvr> shift+ctrl+n works :)
[01:56] <quickslvr> thx!
[01:56] <yarddog> emulates mac
[01:57] <pilot_g2> hi, my laptop starts up completely dim, I have to use setpci to change brightness, how can I fix this?
[01:57] <Clockmens> Yeah but I don't like Mac, I want it like Windows.
[01:57] <yarddog> hehe change the theme
[01:57] <robin0800> aguitel: right shift
[01:57] <quant> Clockmens, you can set it up to be on the right, google it, I don't know it by heart
[01:57] <rypervenche> Clockmens: Change it in gconf
[01:57] <Hilikus> Nisstyre: why do i need to compile it myself??
[01:57] <pilot_g2> been doing the research on the forums, was wondering if someone knew of a good solution
[01:57] <Nisstyre> Hilikus: you don't
[01:57] <Nisstyre> Hilikus: you can install it as a package too
[01:58] <Hilikus> Nisstyre: so why did you suggest compiling it?
[01:58] <Nisstyre> Hilikus: you asked for ideas :P
[01:58] <inthl> dev.mysql.com says `On Linux use hdparm -m16 -d1 on the disks on boot to enable reading/writing of multiple sectors at a time, and DMA. This may increase the response time by 5-50 %. ` - how do I check whether these values are set already? hdparm -m /dev/sda for exampe says multcount     =  0 (off) - so this is not activated, true? hdparm -d /dev/sda says  HDIO_GET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
[01:58] <Nisstyre> it's not a bad thing to learn how to compile a library though
[01:59] <Hilikus> Nisstyre: i already know, i just try to avoid it since it creates unstable systems quite easily
[01:59] <glassresistor> pilot_g2: what kind of lappy? nvidia on 10.04 needs to have xorg.conf modified
[02:00] <Hilikus> Nisstyre: do you know which package has this library?
[02:00] <earthmeLon> Nisstyre, Corey.  Kid in the other room turned on his crt tv.  What a jerk-face.  That was the problem
[02:00] <Nisstyre> Hilikus: only if you create conflicts
[02:00] <pilot_g2> glassresistor: no, it has an intel gma card
[02:00] <Nisstyre> Hilikus: no I don't know the exact name it would be
[02:00] <glassresistor> hum but the brightness control buttons don't work?
[02:00] <Nisstyre> just search for xmlrpc I guess
[02:00] <pilot_g2> it's an emachines eme527
[02:00] <pilot_g2> nope
[02:01] <glassresistor> pilot_g2: ok hum it could either be that you need to set the function keys or that you need to tell xorg.conf to enable brightness control
[02:01] <earthmeLon> Actually, no, that wasn't the problem Corey Nisstyre v_v.  Was too hasty to get excited
[02:01] <Nisstyre> earthmeLon: I've never heard of CRTs doing it either...
[02:01] <Nisstyre> earthmeLon: did you try fiddling with the antennas again?
[02:01] <quant> earthmeLon, any tesla coils around?
[02:01] <Trfsrfr> where do I access scan/printer options?
[02:02] <pilot_g2> glassresistor: well, the brightness keys make that brightness control pop up on-screen, just doesn't do anything
[02:02] <ebah> Is it possible to read/write to ufs2(freebsd) partition in ubuntu. Trying to move from freebsd server to ubuntu server.
[02:02] <glassresistor> pilot_g2: xorg.conf then
[02:02] <earthmeLon> What are you suggestions on positioning, Nisstyre ?  Should they both be parallel?  Should I try to have them at different angles?
[02:02] <Raikia> Hey, I just did a clean install of ubuntu 11.04, removed some packages (pertaining to evolution and empathy), and now my clock indicator applet is gone.  What package do I have to reinstall to get it back?
[02:02] <Nisstyre> earthmeLon: I'd try making them both parallel at first maybe
[02:02] <Nisstyre> and then go from there
[02:03] <pilot_g2> glassresistor: okay thanks, i'll look into it
[02:03] <dijonyummy123> i do too much on my laptop besides browse web, word processing. i cant upgrade to 11.04/unity or will suffer. just want something stable and flexible
[02:03] <quant> Raikia, indicator-datetime possibly
[02:03] <Nisstyre> earthmeLon: ##networking might have some better ideas
[02:03] <Raikia> quant: Thanks, Ill try that
[02:03] <glassresistor> pilot_g2: in xorg.conf under device try this "Option "RegistryDwords" "EnableBrightnessControl=1""
[02:04] <Raikia> whats the equivalent of killall gnome-panel for 11.04?
[02:04] <Nisstyre> Raikia: pkill gnome-panel ?
[02:05] <Raikia> oh, no.  killall mutter
[02:05] <pilot_g2> glassresistor: okay, thanks, will let you know if it works after I restart X
[02:05] <robin0800> Nisstyre: what panel do you mean?
[02:06] <Nisstyre> robin0800: that was in response to his question
[02:06] <Nisstyre> Sorry, I shouldn't answer a question with a question
[02:06] <escott> Raikia, unity-panel-service maybe
[02:06] <Sterist> is there anything in the software center that will zip a batch of files individually?
[02:07] <dallas1> Is Arch Linux basically setting up your own distro from scratch? And is there any particular advantage to that distro over others? Also, as someone who has been using Kubuntu/Ubuntu on and off for two years, what would be some other distros to try out?
[02:07] <escott> Raikia, mutter is for gnome3
[02:07] <Corey> earthmeLon: Yeah, radio's a fun thing.
[02:07] <Nisstyre> dallas1: no it isn't
[02:07] <Nisstyre> dallas1: the advantage is that it's exactly what you want (more or less)
[02:07] <earthmeLon> It'll be worth it once I figure it out.  I'm reading that glass/mirrors *CAN* cause signals to bounce/fail, Corey, Nisstyre
[02:08] <Nisstyre> haha
[02:08] <Nisstyre> mirrors?
[02:08] <Nisstyre> wow
[02:08] <robin0800> earthmeLon: don't forget the smoke
[02:09] <Nisstyre> dallas1: also Arch is a rolling release distro, so you get updates quicker than other distros
[02:09] <Nisstyre> downside is that it's a lot of downloading
[02:09] <Clockmens> Is libre office rebranded openoffice or something different?
[02:09] <escott> Clockmens, yes
[02:09] <Clockmens> But Openoffice sucks :*(
[02:09] <dallas1> nisstyre: Ahhhhh, I see.
[02:10] <j2daosh> anyone know what room to go to for help with KML?
[02:10] <j2daosh> i tried going to #google/googleapi/kml, but none of those had people that were alive
[02:11] <Clockmens> I have a question, why should a generic office/desktop user ever use any distro other than ubuntu?
[02:11] <Raikia> quant: Thanks, that worked!
[02:12] <robin0800> Clockmens: when the don't like unity in 11.10
[02:12] <Nisstyre> Clockmens: there some other *nix distros aimed at people not too knowledgeable, e.g. Mint, OpenSuSE, PC-BSD
[02:12] <Nisstyre> *are some
[02:12] <yarddog> lol @ robin0800
[02:12] <Nisstyre> PC-BSD is lol though
[02:13] <earthmeLon> Nisstyre, Networking directed me to http://www.pcpro.co.uk/features/367681/what-can-get-in-wi-fis-way
[02:14] <Nisstyre> earthmeLon: so get rid of all of those possibilities
[02:14] <Nisstyre> and if it's still losing packets then it's something else
[02:14] <earthmeLon> Yeah, GF won't be happy to get rid of her 125gal fish tank
[02:14] <Hilikus> how can i still a deb package with all its dependencies?
[02:14] <earthmeLon> Just thought you'd like to read it, because it has a goodlist of problematic things (some of whichyou said you weren't sure could cause interference)
[02:15] <Raikia> Hey, so I just installed ubuntu 11.04 and my desktop notifications (from notify-send) is posting the notifications on my right monitor when my left monitor is primary.  Is there a way to fix this?  (I have two monitors. left is primary).  It worked fine in ubuntu 10.10.
[02:15] <Nisstyre> earthmeLon: anything that causes electromagnetic radiation can in theory cause interference
[02:15] <robin0800> Hilikus: I like gdebi
[02:16] <quant> Nisstyre, sunlight is em radiation :)
[02:16] <Nisstyre> quant: yeah
[02:16] <Nisstyre> which is why I'm still skeptical
[02:16] <quant> Nisstyre, he needs specific type of em to get interference, and I don't think it's happening
[02:19] <Kevin147> I'm having trouble with Ubuntu Server. Everytime I go to install the base system, it gives me errors that 'this file' is corrupt. I've burned like 3-4 disks or more, so its not my disks. and I've downloaded it from ubuntu.com so what could the problem be?
[02:19] <yarddog> burn it slowly
[02:20] <quant> Kevin147, your hard drive could be the problem
[02:20] <Nisstyre> Kevin147: "md5sum *.iso"
[02:20] <Nisstyre> and compare it to the md5 on the site
[02:20] <dallas1> Can someone recommend me a distro outside of Ubuntu? I've been using that for quite a while and I'm kind of looking for a new (perhaps more "advanced") experience, as well as trying out desktops other than Gnome (like KDE and what not).
[02:21] <Kevin147> quant: how can my HD be the problem? I can burn ubuntu 11.04 on it just fine. I just want the server version on it, and I get a bunch of crap.
[02:21] <Nisstyre> dallas1: Arch or Debian
[02:21] <quant> dallas1, debian, but that's not really an ubuntu support question :)
[02:21] <Kevin147> but, thanks for the information yarddog, because I use kde pclos on my desktop, and it burns in like 30 seconds with k3b. or whatever its called. so that must be the problem. thanks!
[02:22] <quant> Kevin147, because tens of thousands of people are downloading that same file with no problem... so I doubt that the .iso is damaged, check other options
[02:22] <escott> dallas1, you can install kde on ubuntu
[02:23] <dallas1> escott: What's the difference between KDE and Gnome? From what I understand it has more "freedom".
[02:23] <Nisstyre> dallas1: don't listen to the people saying that
[02:23] <Nisstyre> it's just a different style of desktop manager
[02:23] <quant> they're both free open source software
[02:24] <escott> dallas1, i dont know what that means.
[02:24] <Nisstyre> some people are fascists about software only being free if it has a "GPL compatible" license
[02:24] <dallas1> Nisstyre: So you can do just as much with your desktop using Gnome as you coulkd with a KDE one?
[02:24] <Nisstyre> yes
[02:25] <jazz2> I just upgraded my ubuntu server from 9.04 to 10.04 (via 9.10); the server is connected via wlan(wpa2,54MB); the problem started with 9.10: the download speed from the server to any computer in the lan is now down to 100kB total (apache, samba), while uploading is still where it was @~700kB any idea how I can fix that?
[02:25] <diegoribeiro> alguem pode me ajudar?
[02:25] <escott> dallas1, i think the "freedom" people might be talking about would be a distinction between gpl and non-gpl'ed software which was more relevant when kde wasn't fully gpl'ed these days it is
[02:25] <escott> !es | diegoribeiro
[02:25] <diegoribeiro> como salvo a sessão no ubuntu 11.04
[02:25] <kernelpanicker> I just wget ruby 1.9.1 and ./configure && make && make install, since I didn't think it was in the repos; now I've found out I need to have 1.9.2.. since I didn't apt-get in the first place, what do I do?
[02:26] <escott> dallas1, kde historically has had more options in its menus, and gnome has gone the opposite with having less options
[02:26] <escott> dallas1, but i havent looked at kde in a long time
[02:26] <guampa> !pt | diegoribeiro
[02:26] <tmg> jazz2: are you sure it is just upgrade/soft problem? doesnt seems like one
[02:26] <escott> kernelpanicker, ruby1.9 is in apt
[02:27] <jazz2> tmg, all was good with 9.04, so I guess it is related
[02:27] <JRWR> Im having some issues with a semi complex script, http://pastebin.com/8A872nmB - Using netcat, I wish to proxy the traffice from a internal server, LZMA it, pass it over the nextwork, and the client decompresses and passes it to the Client program, and two way traffic is a must, This script fails to work, when something tries to connect to port 1990 on the client, it just resets the socket
[02:27] <kernelpanicker> escott: I know... I just found that out... so since I just installed 1.9.1 myself, and will use apt-get to install 1.9.2 I don't want to lay down multiple versions.
[02:28] <tmg> jazz2: so maybe some hw problem, if config is the same i will go into drivers tests
[02:28] <escott> kernelpanicker, make uninstall then
[02:28] <kernelpanicker> aha
[02:28] <kernelpanicker> ok
[02:29] <jazz2> tmg, I kept the configs, how would I go about testing the drivers?
[02:29] <tmg> jazz2: what i mean you should notice kernel change and maybe it is not workin well in new version
[02:31] <jazz2> tmg, hm maybebe, but what doesn't make sense is that I still can upload to the server at the normal speed and only the download is effected
[02:32] <tmg> well sounds weird, what about your ISP? didnt they change anything? I know my questions sounds childlish but, the same is that something just stoped work.. ;]
[02:33] <jazz2> tmg, it's in the lan
[02:34] <tmg> oh, so you have low transfers just on eth ?
[02:34] <tmg> hardware or cable problem then
[02:35] <tmg> i realy cant see a reason why software, distro, change can affect that
[02:36] <jazz2> tmg, it's wlan0 on the server (so no cable :), if it was hardware the upload would be affected too ...
[02:37] <tmg> not if it is d-link or something
[02:37] <tmg> these are weird on wire ;p
[02:37] <tmg> i mean on wireless
[02:39] <tmg> anyway does your wlan workin at all? can you see AP and just not connect or it doesnt work at all?
[02:41] <jazz2> it's no d-link, all is good, except the speed from the server into the lan
[02:41] <ltsp-user_> anyone around know anything about using HP thin clients with LTSP on Ubuntu server?
[02:41] <rationalOgre> JRWR: That is crazy confusing what you have going on there.
[02:43] <tmg> jazz2: and no shape or orher weird configs to limit the traffic, even at netwok switch or so?
[02:43] <rationalOgre> JRWR: The cilent is a win7 box, correct? Did you open up the builtin windows firewall to allow connections?
[02:43] <trial> irc.magelangcyber.web.id
[02:43] <david> hey ... i have ubuntu 11.04 and i wanted to change that bar on the side (left) to the bottom of my screen.. how do i do that
[02:43] <jazz2> tmg, nothing that I know off, unless something was introduced with 9.10 and 10.04
[02:43] <david> first day using linux (;
[02:44] <quant> david, you can't
[02:45] <tmg> jazz2: then it sounds odd, if you just did change distro and keep configs and no problems with new kernel such like drivers then i have no idea what is goin on
[02:45] <celthunder> david: which wm?
[02:45] <david> ):
[02:45] <david> ok
[02:46] <rationalOgre> david: Ubuntu head Mr. Shuttleworth sez, "noh!"
[02:46] <rationalOgre> david: One of the reasons I will probably never use Unity.
[02:46] <robin0800> jazz2, newer card firmware or ipv6 problem
[02:46] <tmg> david: the easiest way is to put some window near the bar, the bar will go into hidden mode then and you have no problem ;p
[02:47] <celthunder> david: if you don't like how your de/wm looks use a different one.  theres plenty available that do let you customize how they look completely ground up
[02:47] <jazz2> tmg, hmm that is too bad, I wanted to avoid making a clean install, thanx
[02:47] <MistuhKurtz> so I installed 11.04 on my EEE PC netbook
[02:47] <MistuhKurtz> which window manager should I set up now?
[02:47] <celthunder> MistuhKurtz: which one do you like?
[02:47] <Omega> david: That's not an option (yet). They wanted to work on a nice default and then add customization.
[02:47] <jazz2> robin0800, nothing changed except the upgrading
[02:47] <MistuhKurtz> idk, haven't used linux in a long time
[02:47] <Omega> rationalOgre: I'd like to see the source of that if you don't mind.
[02:47] <MistuhKurtz> something light weight I guess, because I'd like to make it a music server
[02:47] <tmg> jazz2: sorry but it is realy hard to give any strict advice when i dont know your hardware, changes and im not on the box to see all dmesg etc
[02:48] <david> hey is anyone good with WIneHQ
[02:48] <celthunder> MistuhKurtz: you don't need a wm at all then...just mpd...but uhm openbox xmonad awesome dwm stumpwm are all pretty light
[02:48] <rationalOgre> Omega: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/668415
[02:48] <david> i installed microsoft office and word works great.. but excel says it is not installed for the current user?
[02:48] <rationalOgre> Omega: Second post down.
[02:48] <jazz2> tmg, dmesg didn't show anything out of the ordinary
[02:49] <jazz2> all was recognized as it was before
[02:49] <kajakajo> I'm getting lost in all of these how-tos, and for some reason it's weird to google... Any of you guys can do this easy: how do I copy all the contents of a folder to another folder? Or: How do I rename a folder? (In terminal)
[02:49] <robin0800> jazz2, don't think ipv6 was in earlier releases
[02:49] <rationalOgre> Omega: It's not something they wanted to 'clean up' first. Shuttleworth has decided it WONT be movable. Period.
[02:49] <MistuhKurtz> celthunder, mt-dappd has been a pain in the ass so far
[02:49] <MistuhKurtz> for some reason it's not picking up any of my files
[02:49] <MistuhKurtz> maybe i need to chmod them?
[02:49] <tmg> jazz2: so it is much harder to findout.. well, you are still on better position to findout because you're on the box/net
[02:50] <celthunder> david: uhm each user gets there own .wine/drive_c folder (aka fake drive_c
[02:50] <guampa> kajakajo: mv <folder> <newname>
[02:50] <celthunder> MistuhKurtz: idk i just use mpd for my media server
[02:50] <kajakajo> guampa, thanks.
[02:50] <MistuhKurtz> mpd?
[02:50] <guampa> np
[02:50] <celthunder> MistuhKurtz: but yeah who owns the files/what're the rights on them vs what's running the media server
[02:50] <celthunder> MistuhKurtz: music player daemon
[02:51] <rationalOgre> Omega: Did you see the link?
[02:51] <MistuhKurtz> they're MP3s i've ripped or purchased
[02:51] <MistuhKurtz> mostly into electronic music that i couldn't torrent if i tried
[02:51] <MistuhKurtz> :PO
[02:51] <trial> wew
[02:51] <celthunder> MistuhKurtz: who is running the media player and where're the files located/what're the permissions on them
[02:51] <trial> I'm lamer
[02:51] <jazz2> robin0800, I have ipv4 in my lan; and it's a wierd problem uploadig to the server is still at the normal speed while downloading from the server is a drag
[02:51] <trial> :)
[02:51] <Omega> rationalOgre: I did, I am still reading through the thread, thanks for the link.
[02:52] <MistuhKurtz> they're on my EEEPC
[02:52] <MistuhKurtz> on my local network
[02:52] <MistuhKurtz> just trying to stream to my iphone or my mac
[02:52] <MistuhKurtz> on the local network
[02:52] <MistuhKurtz> although, it'd be cool to be able to access it remotely
[02:52] <jazz2> tmg, yes I could find out, if only I knew what I should be looking for
[02:53] <MistuhKurtz> but setting up dynamic DNS and everything to make it remotely accessible is an entirely different beast
[02:53] <tmg> gmesg, tcpdump
[02:53] <MistuhKurtz> just trying to get it working on my local server for now
[02:53] <MistuhKurtz> local network*
[02:54] <bsmith093> i found a tool to , among other things, create and view packets manually in the terminal. how do i find what it was called?
[02:55] <tmg> jazz2: try everyting including mtu change etc..
[02:55] <jazz2> tmg, I'll try to figure out how to use tcpdump
[02:55] <jazz2> tmg, thx
[02:58] <rationalOgre> MistuhKurtz: You seem to be misunderstanding the questions. They aren't about intellectual property concerns. They are about filesystem permissions both of the files themselves and the directory in which they are located.
[02:58] <MistuhKurtz> they are in /home/music
[02:58] <MistuhKurtz> er
[02:58] <MistuhKurtz> /home/username/music
[02:58] <Omega> ~/Music
[02:58] <MistuhKurtz> yes
[02:59] <rationalOgre> MistuhKurtz: Ok, and if you run ls -l in ~/music who "owns" the files.
[02:59] <rationalOgre> ?
[02:59] <trial> # irc magelang cyber
[03:00] <MistuhKurtz> ummmmmmmmmm
[03:00] <rationalOgre> MistuhKurtz: You should see something like "username username" towards the middle column of the output of ls -l
[03:00] <MistuhKurtz> I'll have to run that
[03:00] <MistuhKurtz> when i get home
[03:00] <rationalOgre> MistuhKurtz: Or perhaps "root root"
[03:00] <MistuhKurtz> b/c i don't have it on me
[03:00] <celthunder> rationalOgre: sheesh i leave for 2 minutes and he answers :)
[03:00] <rationalOgre> celthunder: Have to ask questions the right way. :P
[03:01] <moes> Need suggestions for pdf viewer that will open adobe documents
[03:01] <celthunder> moes: xpdf
[03:01] <rationalOgre> moes: Document Viewer is built in and able to read pdf's.
[03:01] <kiichiro> interesting, my usb just randomly mounted itself, I've been on for about an hour now
[03:02] <celthunder> moes: xpdf is the lightest one i know of evince is ok theres a few others apt-cache search pdf
[03:02] <infinitux> hi. why doesn't emerald work anymore?
[03:02] <edmin> hello is it okay if beginners come in here?
[03:02] <infinitux> i'm kinda peeved, cause I use emerald and love it.
[03:03] <rationalOgre> moes: Also known as "evince"
[03:03] <celthunder> edmin: no no beginners allowed...wait i'd have to kick myself...whats up
[03:03] <infinitux> please help me.
[03:03] <celthunder> rationalOgre: evince has like 20 dep's doesn't it?
[03:03] <moes> celthunder, Yes I found xpdf will give it a try
[03:03] <infinitux> I want my emerald decorator backk.
[03:03] <rationalOgre> celthunder: hehe.
[03:03] <edmin> thanks.  I'm creating a webserver with my daughter
[03:03] <rationalOgre> celthunder: I don't know. It may.
[03:03] <moes> rationalOgre, Evince would not open the document
[03:03] <edmin> but the index.html file is in a folder that I do not have access to
[03:03] <celthunder> edmin: ok?
[03:04] <celthunder> edmin: /var/www?
[03:04] <tmg> moes: xpdf, areader, kpdf and more
[03:04] <edmin> without chown or chmod it
[03:04] <edmin> yes
[03:04] <celthunder> edmin: yeah you're not supposed to
[03:04] <edmin> I'd like to take ownership of it but then revert it back so only root has access
[03:05] <rationalOgre> edmin: What server?
[03:05] <celthunder> edmin: if you want you can enable usermod and then set the home dir for Default to your home dir/public_html and chmod that entire folder 755
[03:05] <edmin> I don't want to have it hacked 5 seconds after I change it
[03:05] <celthunder> edmin: that's assuming it's apache not nginx or anything
[03:05] <rationalOgre> edmin: I mean what webserver.
[03:05] <edmin> the link is utech.dyndns.info
[03:05] <edmin> can you get to it as is
[03:05]  * infinitux wonders if he is invisible.
[03:05] <celthunder> rationalOgre: pretty sure apache2 nginx has a diff default directory
[03:05] <edmin> please don't bring it down
[03:05] <celthunder> infinitux: indeed you are
[03:06] <rationalOgre> celthunder: yeah.
[03:06] <rationalOgre> celthunder: It's apatche2
[03:06] <rationalOgre> celthunder: http://utech.dyndns.info/blah
[03:06] <edmin> I'm not able to ftp to this box yet
[03:07] <celthunder> rationalOgre edmin how'd you want to do it or just edit the site as root ad chmod all the files as needed
[03:07] <rationalOgre> edmin: Ok, so why not just point your apache2.conf to a directory you are able to edit with your user account?
[03:07] <celthunder> rationalOgre: edmin see above statement by me
[03:07] <edmin> I connect but when I go to move the files, my linux server states something about not being able to get the file size so it never actually moves to this server
[03:07] <celthunder> ?
[03:08] <celthunder> what's the exact error and are you using binary or ascii mode??
[03:08] <Nobgul-BNC> Can you move a file and paste the error.
[03:08] <Barridus> anyone know why unity's launcher bar isn't remembering icon placement?
[03:08] <edmin> your saying I can move files with sudo?
[03:08] <edmin> do you have the syntacs
[03:08] <celthunder> edmin: yeah....mv <file> <destfile>
[03:09] <edmin> I'm working with 3-4 books and on line
[03:09] <celthunder> edmin: but sort of not the best way to do that
[03:09] <edmin> so sudo mv index.html ~/var/www
[03:09] <edmin> something like that?
[03:09] <celthunder> edmin: yes
[03:09] <celthunder> wait
[03:09] <celthunder> no
[03:09] <rationalOgre> edmin: um,
[03:09] <celthunder> NO
[03:09] <celthunder> get rid of the ~
[03:10] <rationalOgre> edmin: that will error on you if you run it like that.
[03:10] <celthunder> unless your home dir is /
[03:10] <edmin> okay if the file is in my home folder how will it know to back out to var
[03:10] <rationalOgre> edmin: It won't.
[03:10] <edmin> I'll give it a shot so my questions are better
[03:11] <rationalOgre> edmin: hold up a sec, we have to start you like almost all the way at the beginning I think.
[03:11] <edmin> okay
[03:11] <gNewPower> Hi!  I need to restart the daemon which runs the mouse under U11.04.  I tried "sudo service gpm restart" but is says gpm: unrecognized service.  how do I restart that? thanks!
[03:11] <celthunder> rationalOgre: edmin probably
[03:11] <edmin> sorry yes I'm very new
[03:11] <rationalOgre> edmin: Ok, how's your understanding of linux in general? This your first time using it?
[03:11] <celthunder> gNewPower: ? dbus?
[03:11] <edmin> nill
[03:11] <gNewPower> celthunder, dunno?
[03:11] <rationalOgre> edmin: It's quite ok. We all were there at some point.
[03:11] <celthunder> gNewPower: /etc/init.d/dbus restart
[03:12] <gNewPower> celthunder, lemme try
[03:12] <rationalOgre> edmin: Right.  There's nothing wrong with that, but it's important to be aware of it.
[03:12] <edmin> I'm able to install from the shell, using apt-get
[03:12] <rationalOgre> edmin: Ok, cool. So I imagine you ran something like "sudo apt-get install apache2" right?
[03:12] <edmin> yes
[03:12] <edmin> apache2
[03:13] <edmin> I may have gotten it installing lamp
[03:13] <rationalOgre> edmin: Ok.
[03:13] <edmin> i'd have to go through my notes
[03:13] <gNewPower> celthunder, X crashed
[03:13] <celthunder> rationalOgre: can i pm you real quick?
[03:13] <rationalOgre> celthunder: Sure.
[03:14] <rationalOgre> edmin: Now, you have a shiny new apache2 installation on your system. Your next step is to learn how to configure it. Right now the DocumentRoot is set to /var/www, but your user account most likely does not have access to that folder.
[03:15] <edmin> you are exactly right.
[03:15] <BigPalabra> why I can't edit or modify the file "etc/default/grub" ??? I have gedit installed :-S
[03:15] <rationalOgre> edmin: So what I suggest doing is going to the Apache2 documentation website and reading up about configuring apache2 for ubuntu
[03:15] <edmin> I took owner of it on an earlier try, but then didn't know how to undo it
[03:15] <rationalOgre> edmin: Probably better to just google "apache2 configuration ubuntu
[03:16] <edmin> thanks I'll give that a shot...
[03:16] <edmin> exit
[03:16] <edmin> quit
[03:16] <IdleOne> /exit
[03:16] <rationalOgre> edmin: put a / before the command
[03:17] <BigPalabra> why I can't edit or modify the file "etc/default/grub" ??? I have gedit installed :-S
[03:19] <celthunder> BigPalabra: gksu gedit /etc/default/grub
[03:19] <rationalOgre> BigPalabra: it would be /etc/default/grub and chances are you need to do what celthunder said.
[03:19] <rationalOgre> though I would use gksudo
[03:19] <rationalOgre> but that's just me. :D
[03:19] <apporc> hi ,i there is something wrong with my plymouth installation . I can't find the plymouth script in (initrd)/script/init-bottom
[03:20] <BigPalabra> celthunder: what do you mean with gksu ???
[03:20] <apporc> Normally in other newly installed ubuntu , i can find that plymouth file in initrd file
[03:20] <infinitux> in the time that I spent away from my question here, i fixed my emerald issue myself - no thanks to you guys. lol
[03:20] <Lewoco> Can someone running vlc do 'top' and tell me how much virtual memory the process is using?
[03:21] <celthunder> infinitux: good so if you'd googled rather than wasting our time we'd all be happier :)
[03:22] <celthunder> Lewoco: that would depend on what you're loading/watching at the time
[03:22] <celthunder> Lewoco: nobody's goign to end up with the same result as you and likely not even close
[03:23] <bsmith093> im using nmap, is there a faster why ton gey os info about the network
[03:23] <Lewoco> celthunder, I'm using 700-800MBs, is that normal?
[03:23] <celthunder> Lewoco: idk...i hate vlc
[03:23] <celthunder> Lewoco: i'm guessing if you have a 700mb file open and it's in ram sure
[03:24] <apporc> I am using ubuntu 10.10 . It boots slow with a 10 seconds or more delay when running init-bottom.
[03:24] <apporc> Does anyone know how to solve this.
[03:24] <MistuhKurtz> rational0gre, I don't think a 1.6ghz intel atom n450 + 1ghz of RAM (upgradeable to 2gb) could stream video in UpNp too well could it?
[03:24] <celthunder> bsmith093: depends what's all on the network and yeah sure log into the routers/switches and look
[03:25] <celthunder> MistuhKurtz: sure it could...i got an atom 280 with 2GB f ram and a 500GB hdd
[03:25] <celthunder> MistuhKurtz: it's streamed just fine...
[03:26] <rationalOgre> MistuhKurtz: I used to stream video off my old p4-1.8ghz + 1gb ram, so it should be able to.
[03:26] <BigPalabra> rationalOgre & celthunder: thx for your help
[03:26] <MistuhKurtz> nice
[03:26] <MistuhKurtz> it's got an internal 160GB HDD
[03:27] <celthunder> MistuhKurtz: depends on the network too
[03:27] <MistuhKurtz> I think i might connect an external USB HDD and use it as a sort of NAS as well
[03:27] <MistuhKurtz> local home network, ethernet cable
[03:27] <MistuhKurtz> at least for the EEE PC (server) and the xbox, they'd be on ethernet
[03:27] <celthunder> yeah that clarifies...10Mbit 100Mbit 1Gbit? twisted pair?
[03:28] <MistuhKurtz> my macbook pro would probably be on WiFi
[03:28] <MistuhKurtz> not exactly sure atm, things are up in the air 'casue i'm moving
[03:28] <MistuhKurtz> so I'm gonna set this all up when i get home
[03:28] <MistuhKurtz> I also wanna set up the EEE PC as a torrent box
[03:29] <lolcat> MistuhKurtz: I also want to do that
[03:29] <MistuhKurtz> which eee pc you got lolcat?
[03:32] <MistuhKurtz> benefit to setting up my EEE PC as a media server: i can always unplug it and have a tiny little laptop with all my music on it to fuck around with wherever :D
[03:32] <MistuhKurtz> the default ubuntu window manager is the slightest bit sluggish though
[03:32] <MistuhKurtz> any ideas for a better WM?
[03:33] <MistuhKurtz> the Ubuntu Netbook Remix thing intrigues me, but, i don't know if that's a WM or a distro?
[03:33] <celthunder> MistuhKurtz: MistuhKurtz you don't need a wm or a de for a server...with that said i listed a bunch before dwm openbox xmonad (the one i use) awesome stumpwm
[03:33] <rationalOgre> !language | MistuhKurtz
[03:34] <MistuhKurtz> sorry :3
[03:34] <MistuhKurtz> I come from #web where we curse like sailors
[03:34] <qin> MistuhKurtz: Good idea, Apocalipse Now!
[03:34] <MistuhKurtz> ^5
[03:34] <Tekk_> I'm trying to use a USB wireless card that uses the p54usb driver, but I keep getting the error "cannot load firmware isl3886lrb (-2)" even though I have /lib/isl3886usb.fw
[03:34] <alexcockell> Morning..
[03:34] <Tekk_> do I have it in the wrong place or something?
[03:34] <rationalOgre> MistuhKurtz: sokay. Netbook Remix was folded into 11.04. It's not a different thing anymore.
[03:34] <MistuhKurtz> well i wanna have a WM incase i want to unplug it and use it as a notebook
[03:34] <MistuhKurtz> instead of a server
[03:35] <MistuhKurtz> so is netbook remix like a specialized window manager then?
[03:36] <MistuhKurtz> i'm kind of confused as to what it is
[03:36] <MistuhKurtz> b/c the 10" screen can be a little painful sometimes :P
[03:36] <izinucs> MistuhKurtz, netbook remix is now called Unity and the default windows manager for 11.04
[03:36] <chad_> I can't move windows any longer, anyone know whats up?
[03:36] <MistuhKurtz> i see
[03:36] <MistuhKurtz> for desktop 11.04?
[03:36] <izinucs> yes
[03:36] <qin> MistuhKurtz: Pick any from that list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_X_window_managers
[03:37] <trism> Tekk_: just install the linux-firmware-nonfree package, that has the firmware for p54usb (it goes in /lib/firmware)
[03:37] <MistuhKurtz> why's it feel kinda sluggish if it's supposed to be optimized for low powered netbooks
[03:37] <MistuhKurtz> lol
[03:37] <trism> Tekk_: however, if this is natty, the device won't work unless you upgrade to linux-image-2.6.38-10 (which has the patch that fixes it)
[03:37] <Tekk_> MistuhKurtz: because it's not
[03:38] <Tekk_> MistuhKurtz: unity is a full 3d desktop, you want unity-2d
[03:38] <Tekk_> trism: ....of course
[03:38] <Tekk_> trism: packages.ubuntu.com has deb links?
[03:38] <trism> Tekk_: yes
[03:38] <MistuhKurtz> apt-get trism?
[03:38] <MistuhKurtz> o lol
[03:38] <MistuhKurtz> trism is a user
[03:39] <Tekk_> MistuhKurtz: sudo aptitude install unity-2d
[03:39] <dr_Willis> !apt
[03:39] <MistuhKurtz> difference between apt-get and aptitude ?
[03:39] <Tekk_> MistuhKurtz: aptitude has better conflict resolution
[03:39] <iflema> MistuhKurtz, give the 10.04 netbook remix ago... much better in look/feel and performance
[03:40] <iflema> MistuhKurtz, 10.04 LTs netbook edition i meant to say/type
[03:40] <MistuhKurtz> hm
[03:40] <MistuhKurtz> thx
[03:46] <chad_> anyone on not being able to move windows
[03:46] <Wally> ??
[03:46] <dr_Willis> you have the titlebar and controls chad_ ?
[03:46] <chad_> ya
[03:47] <chad_> I can even right click and select move but nothing happens
[03:47] <hiipii> So, I'm trying to install 11.04 on one of my pcs. The box doesnt have a cdrom drive hooked up so im doing it via usb. I used the universal usb stick crator tool to create a bootable usb stick, booted into ubuntu just fine installed to the hard drive just fine (so it seems) but when i reboot without the usb stick it can't find a disk to boot from. any ideas?
[03:47] <rationalOgre> hiipii: just one hard drive on the system?
[03:47] <hiipii> if i boot back into the live usb i can mount the harddrive and it appears to have all the files on it
[03:47] <hiipii> ust one hard drive ya
[03:47] <rationalOgre> hiipii: is it dedicated to ubuntu, or dual boot?
[03:48] <hiipii> dedicated
[03:48] <dr_Willis> grub installed to the usb perhaps
[03:48] <hiipii> yea it seems to me like a grub issue, but im not much of an expert and ive been fiddling with grub, grub0install etc for a while but getting no where
[03:48] <superglue> do you boot into a grub prompt?
[03:49] <hiipii> no it doesnt boot at all
[03:49] <chad_> dr_Willis, I answered but I forgot to hight light you
[03:49] <hiipii> says no system disk found or some such thing after post
[03:49] <kneelan> HI
[03:49] <trism> Tekk_: sorry, it seems the new kernel isn't on packages.ubuntu.com yet (or I can't find it), since it is still in proposed, but it is here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+package/linux-image-2.6.38-10-generic
[03:50] <dr_Willis> grub never got on the hd sounds like
[03:51] <dr_Willis> fixing grub on a friends pc here.
[03:51] <hiipii> why wouldnt the install put grub on the hd its installing to though?
[03:51] <dr_Willis> they really need a  fixgrub item on the cd.
[03:51] <trism> Tekk_: oops, wrong link again, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+package/linux-image-2.6.38-10-generic
[03:51] <dr_Willis> it got confysed.
[03:51] <hiipii> because of the usb drive i assume?
[03:52] <izinucs> trism, dr_Willis could be a multi drive computer?
[03:52] <rationalOgre> hiipii: pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l"
[03:52] <hiipii> ok
[03:52] <mtec007> how can i get my GOBI 2000 3g card working?
[03:54] <dr_Willis> you can install grub to both usb and the hd. for a backup
[03:55] <earthmeLon> Any way to determine SATA controller speed through CLI?  hdparm just gives true speed.  I want to know what the card itself is rated at.
[03:56] <izinucs> earthmeLon, you might sudo lshw which will give you all kinds of hardware info.. and capability
[03:56] <rationalOgre> earthmeLon: "sudo lshw -C storage" ?
[03:56] <dr_Willis> hwinfo perhsps also
[03:57] <dr_Willis> !fixgrub
[03:57] <hiipii> http://pastebin.com/Z4HJL6Xv
[03:57] <hiipii> thats fdisk -l
[03:57] <earthmeLon> thanks rationalOgre izinucs
[03:57] <rationalOgre> hiipii: So may I guess that /dev/sda is the installed hard drive?
[03:57] <hiipii> sda is the harddrive sdb the usb thumbdrive with install media
[03:58] <rationalOgre> hiipii: Notice anything odd about /dev/sda
[03:58] <van7hu> hello, if I have an ed2k's link, how could I download it?
[03:58] <rationalOgre> hiipii: Like, the fact that none of the partitions are bootable...
[03:58] <hiipii> aye, i just dont know how to fix it
[03:58] <rationalOgre> sudo fdisk /dev/sda
[03:59] <rationalOgre> when that comes up hit "a"
[03:59] <rationalOgre> without quotes
[03:59] <rationalOgre> and then 1
[03:59] <rationalOgre> then w
[03:59] <gohdan> i have a problem with lxde, where the terminal transparency is displaying the purple-ish ubuntu background on gdm instead of my wallpaper. any idea whats up with that?
[04:00] <phong_> Ubuntu is way better then Mac os x
[04:00] <phong_> mac is bullshlt os
[04:00] <cvd> Hello There
[04:01] <celthunder> cvd: hi
[04:01] <gohdan> phong_: darwin isnt half bad actually. i quite like netbsd. :P
[04:01] <dr_Willis> im not sure grub needs the bootable flag any more. but it wont hurt
[04:01] <celthunder> dr_Willis: it doesn't
[04:01] <cvd> Any know why ubuntu 11.04  automatically ramdon logout ?
[04:02] <celthunder> cvd: more detail?
[04:02] <gohdan> cvd:  sounds weird. you mean from your x session?
[04:02] <dr_Willis> cvd its x crashibg most likely and gdm restarting
[04:02] <rationalOgre> dr_Willis: celthunder Just informed me of that. learn something new...
[04:02] <dr_Willis> not a  logout
[04:02] <celthunder> rationalOgre: dr_Willis it doens't and honestly...never did...that was just windows bootloader
[04:03] <dijonyummy123> is there any linux program that can open multiple pdfs or chm files, and allow you to save the workspace. so that you dont have to find several files and reopen them manually when you start the app again?   sort of like kate has a session, except for pdfs and chms?
[04:03] <dr_Willis> reading a lot of chms?
[04:03] <dr_Willis> old scool :)
[04:04] <fizyplankton> hey i installed ubuntu 11.04 on a new partiton, in addition to my 3 existing OS's, but i want to uninstall it. i can still get to my other os's via GRUB, but i noticed that the 11.04 install changed the grub layout. if i delete the 11.04 partitons, will grub go back to how it was, stop working, stay the same, or what?
[04:04] <dijonyummy123> a lot of pdfs. i have a huge library so its hard to even pick which book and find it, and go back and reopen them. its not good for me to copy them to a folder
[04:04] <rationalOgre> celthunder: I remember a long time ago in eons past that I had to make sure the bootable flag was set. I've done it ever since and never questioned it. So it's news to me. :D
[04:04] <dijonyummy123> any idea if such a program? yeah some books are in chm and not updated
[04:05] <dr_Willis> reinstall grub from the is you are keeping
[04:05] <dijonyummy123> seems like not hard to do but i dont know what app can save a workspace of open pdfs, chms, or even just PDFs only
[04:05] <dr_Willis> dijonyummy123:  use soft links not copys
[04:05] <cvd> why when i use any browser in linux the fonts looks so bad, somethings looks bigger other tiny, but when i use another OS always looks great
[04:06] <Techrat> any recommends on a video card that Natty supports Dual Monitors with out of the box (Or with minimal fuss)
[04:06] <dr_Willis> install the ms fonts cvd
[04:06] <celthunder> cvd: ? which browsers and instaall whatever font's you want
[04:06] <dijonyummy123> yeah but softlinks are manually created. i just want to open stuff then close junk, then keep the opened ones in the workspace to be reopened later, sort of like kate sessions.
[04:06] <cvd> celthunder,  firefox, chrome
[04:06] <dijonyummy123> anyone know
[04:06] <mtec007> http://pastebin.com/TYykvzsk   how can i enable my qualcomm gobi 2000 3g/gps card? heres the output of hwinfo and lsusb
[04:07] <fizyplankton> hey i installed ubuntu 11.04 on a new partiton, in addition to my 3 existing OS's, but i want to uninstall it. i can still get to my other os's via GRUB, but i noticed that the 11.04 install changed the grub layout. if i delete the 11.04 partitons, will grub go back to how it was, stop working, stay the same, or what?
[04:07] <cvd> it give me headache
[04:07] <cvd> and yes i have the sm fonts
[04:07] <celthunder> fizyplankton: does the ubuntu partition have the root grub files?
[04:07] <cvd> ms fonts
[04:07] <gohdan> fizyplankton: dont be so spammy please.
[04:08] <dr_Willis> fizyplankton:  reinstall grub from the os you are keeping first
[04:08] <fizyplankton> celthunder: i have 3 ubuntu installs. w 10.04s and 1 11.04 that i want to uninstall. how do i check?
[04:08] <fizyplankton> dr_Willis: how>?
[04:08] <brylieee> Hi all. Our CD/DVD will not mount disks or play DVDs. The windows side of this dual boot is able to use the drive. What can we do to troubleshoot?
[04:08] <dr_Willis> then delete the artituons
[04:09] <cvd> celthunder, know an settings to fix that?
[04:09] <dr_Willis> !fixgrub
[04:09] <dr_Willis> boot the os to keep. reinstall grub
[04:09] <fizyplankton> dr_Willis: how do i reinstall grub. im in the OS i want to keep right now
[04:10] <rationalOgre> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20GRUB2
[04:10] <dr_Willis> reboot to see it works. then remove other os
[04:10] <dr_Willis> !grub2
[04:11] <dijonyummy123> is okular capable of having more than 1 file open at once?
[04:11] <dijonyummy123> doesn't seem like it unless i'm missing something
[04:12] <gohdan> dijonyummy: if you dont mind being an evil freedom hater, foxit can open pdfs in new _tabs_
[04:12] <brylieee> !dvd
[04:13] <dijonyummy123> can foxit save the open tabs and reopen the same set upon the next startup.  i use whatever works. creating softlinks is too manual to type in
[04:14] <gohdan> dijonyummy123: not sure but, its the only one i am aware of thats native to *nix at the moment which opens multiple docs simultaneously
[04:15] <Tekk_> okay, I installed the firmware for the p54usb wireless card and it picks up the interface and anything, but it can't connect. it tries to for a while then shows that it's been disconnected
[04:15] <trism> Tekk_: you upgraded the kernel too?
[04:16] <Tekk_> yep
[04:16] <Tekk_> kernel and both the firmware packages, and the image of course
[04:16] <cvd__> anyone use xchat?
[04:16] <gohdan> dijonyummy123: there is a work around if you kde, that stuffs things into tabs of their file manager. remember seeing it on a friends slackware box. forget what its called though.
[04:16] <TrentonAdams> hey guys.  I have MAILFROM in my mdadm.conf line, and it just keeps sending email from root@hostname
[04:16] <TrentonAdams> Any ideas?
[04:17] <Tekk_> trism: all dmesg gets me is wlan0: direct probe to *ip* timed out after 3 tries
[04:17] <trism> Tekk_: that makes me think you don't have the new kernel, because that is the bug that was patched (well a side effect of it anyway)
[04:17] <trism> Tekk_: what is: uname -a;
[04:17] <Tekk_> trism: oh, hold on
[04:18] <Tekk_> trism: probably need to update grub, right?
[04:18] <Tekk_> if I went through just dpkg
[04:18] <trism> Tekk_: the triggers should update it, but you can: sudo update-grub; to be sure
[04:18] <Tekk_> yeah, looks like it
[04:18] <Tekk_> wait
[04:18] <Tekk_> no
[04:18] <Tekk_> 2.6.38-8
[04:19] <Tekk_> which seems to match the package I downloaded
[04:19] <dijonyummy123> gohdan: thanks for the help, i'll try foxit and look somemore
[04:19] <trism> Tekk_: yeah, sorry, I mentioned later, it isn't on packages.ubuntu.com because it is in proposed, I have a link, one sec
[04:20] <gohdan> dijonyummy123: open/libre office may provide this type of  functionality too but i dont use them. good luck on your quest.
[04:20] <Tekk_> trism: oh, sorry. I was probably installing linux at the time and it got washed away by the famous #ubuntu flood :P
[04:21] <trism> Tekk_: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+package/linux-image-2.6.38-10-generic choose i386 or amd64 at the bottom and it will be in the downloadable files on the next page
[04:22] <trism> Tekk_: it was my fault for directing you to the wrong place in the first place :)
[04:23] <jgpzen> Where is the intel 64bit distrobution of ubuntu?
[04:23] <Tekk_> trism: so I just need the image or does that include a kernel too?
[04:23] <Tekk_> jgpzen: you're looking for amd64
[04:23] <Tekk_> unless you want itanium
[04:23] <jgpzen> Even for intel processor?
[04:23] <trism> Tekk_: linux-image packages are the kernels plus the modules
[04:23] <Tekk_> jgpzen: my x64 debian on a core2duo says yes :)
[04:24] <jgpzen> Weird that they call it amd when its used for intel
[04:24] <Tekk_> jgpzen: amd came up with the arch
[04:24] <gohdan> jgpzen: its amd's instruction set
[04:24] <jgpzen> Guess that makes sense
[04:24] <Tekk_> jgpzen: and they called it amd64, intel's 64 bit arch was itanium, which flopped
[04:24] <trism> Tekk_: you may need the headers too if you use nvidia proprietary drivers (or something similar)
[04:24] <jgpzen> Gotcha
[04:24] <Tekk_> trism: nope, I'm good there
[04:24] <dr_Willis> amd had it out first
[04:25] <gohdan> Tekk_: it didnt flop... just kinda fell over
[04:25] <sadbear> itanium too expensive
[04:25] <dr_Willis> it exploded in a bad way?
[04:25] <cvd__> ups, xchat  disapear because there is no system tray , ok

[04:35] <rationalOgre> earthmeLon: curl?
[04:36] <earthmeLon> rationalOgre, curl can be used to download a single file from multiple locations?  Hmmm
[04:36] <ilangeeran> please tell me anybody hearing me
[04:36] <celthunder> ilangeeran: yes
[04:36] <robin0800> ilangeeran, because there is no upgrade option on the 9.04 live cd
[04:36] <ilangeeran> how are you?/
[04:36] <rationalOgre> earthmeLon: yes, read man curl
[04:36] <rubenjr> coz_ yes there are
[04:37] <rubenjr> coz_ part1 and part 2
[04:37] <coz_> ilangeeran,  in the paste when you popped in a live cd it would ask if you want to upgrade
[04:37] <Nautilus> rationalOgre: ok, have that opened, but now I can't find where FF put the download.  I should be looking in /home/username/* ?
[04:37] <coz_> rubenjr,  ok  and what are you using to mount these   gmountiso?
[04:37] <ilangeeran> how it will take to upgrade ubuntu  online
[04:37] <rationalOgre> Nautilus: ~/Download if default
[04:38] <ilangeeran> how long it will take to upgrade online
[04:38] <earthmeLon> rationalOgre, Thanks for the suggestion.  The mirror decided to give me more than 20KB/s, so it's no longer needed :D
[04:38] <coz_> ilangeeran,  it would just as long  as a cd,, about anyway,, depending on the internet connection speed
[04:38] <Nautilus> rationalOgre: yea, not seeing a folder like that.  you mean /home/Download right?
[04:38] <hiipii> ok anyone still here who was helpin me earlier? heh i made the partition bootable and still same error
[04:38] <Nautilus> rationalOgre: I'm in ~
[04:39] <ilangeeran> can anybody give me a ubuntu recent release?
[04:39] <rationalOgre> Nautilus: the Download/
[04:39] <coz_> rubenjr,  not sure ,, but did you try opening the iso mounter twice,, 2 instances  one for part 1 and another instance for part2 ?
[04:39] <rationalOgre> s/the/then
[04:39] <Nautilus> rationalOgre: aha, it's in /tmp actually
[04:39] <coz_> ilangeeran,  you want a link for it you mean?
[04:39] <Jon--> I am having trouble hooking up a computer monitor using HDMI to my laptop with an ATI video card. Help?
[04:40] <ilangeeran> can i download videos to my computer using rythmbox
[04:41] <Jewfro-Macabbi> ilangeeran, try miro
[04:41] <coz_> Jon--,    open a terminal and tell me the number this command puts out     glxinfo -l |grep MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE
[04:41] <Jon--> coz_,     GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE = 8192
[04:42] <Jon--> coz_, Please realize that I am still using my laptop monitor at the moment, not the hDMI connected one.
[04:42] <ilangeeran> plese give me your email id
[04:42] <coz_> Jon--,  understood,, but  I have not done this so trying to get a complete picture to see if I can figure this out
[04:43] <Jewfro-Macabbi> ilangeeran, "sudo apt-get install miro"
[04:43] <coz_> Jon--,  first that command I gave you with the  8192  is a hardware limitation,, that is a large number   but it also means that whichever monitor you use it cannot go above that number horizonatally or vertically
[04:44] <coz_> Jon--,  rather it cannto go above that resolution in any direction
[04:44] <ilangeeran> i cant install any programs using add/remove programs
[04:44] <coz_> Jon--,  In terminal    lspci | grep -i vga
[04:44] <celthunder> ilangeeran: what's the error when you try
[04:45] <Jon--> coz_, jon@jonnixbox:~$ lspci | grep -i vga
[04:45] <Jon--> 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS780M/RS780MN [Radeon HD 3200 Graphics]
[04:45] <ilangeeran> its asking me check the repository
[04:45] <coz_> Jon--,  ok and did this card come with and hdmi dongle?
[04:46] <Jon--> This is a laptop
[04:46] <coz_> come with "an" hdmi dongle
[04:46] <coz_> Jon--,  ah
[04:46] <Jon--> There is an input for HDMI on the side of the laptop, yes.
[04:46] <Jon--> Please note I do have proprietary ATI/AMD drivers from Hardware Drivers.
[04:46] <coz_> ok
[04:46] <infinitux> celthunder: i just got your message from earlier. touche'
[04:46] <Jon--> coz_, This may be of use for my problem. http://pastebin.com/hmHXVjeF
[04:47] <coz_> Jon--,  my experience with at is very very limited ,, did you ask in the #radeon channel?
[04:47] <celthunder> infinitux: lol i was half joking half serious :)
[04:47] <infinitux> that's what I loved about it.
[04:47] <Jon--> I am having trouble hooking up a computer monitor using HDMI to my laptop with an ATI video card. Help?
[04:47] <gohdan> i have a problem with lxde, where the terminal transparency is displaying the default purple-ish ubuntu background on gdm instead of my wallpaper. any ideas?
[04:47] <coz_> Jon--,  ok this is beyond my knowledge experience,,, try the #radeon channel
[04:47] <ilangeeran> when i tried to install any programs my system cant connect to the server
[04:48] <Honoo> gohdan: try installing/running a compositing manager, e.g. xcompmgr?
[04:48] <celthunder> gohdan: is the transarency using the picture on the root xwindow? what layer did you put your wallpaper on
[04:48] <coz_> ilangeeran,  because the version of ubuntu is out of date ,, no longer supported
[04:48] <celthunder> gohdan: try xloadimage --onroot <image> does the transparency still grab gdm's picture?
[04:48] <dr_Willis> !eol
[04:48] <coz_> ilangeeran,  this is why I said to download the alternate cd to update
[04:48] <coz_> upgrade rather
[04:49] <celthunder> ilangeeran: so connect to the internet?
[04:49] <gohdan> Honoo: celthunder, hang on. let me fire up lxde.
[04:50] <mikha> hello all quick question if my ram are 3 gb my swap file should be 6 gb  ?
[04:50] <sktn07> how to download youtube video .any idea?
[04:50] <celthunder> mikha: no
[04:50] <ilangeeran> i have connected to the internet.i think that the repository that is in my computer is invalid
[04:50] <gohdan> sktn07: youtube-dl
[04:50] <celthunder> mikha: well unless you're running a massive database or something
[04:50] <Nautilus> I've put a utility app in /usr/local/util_name then made a symlink to the executable file as /usr/bin/util_name (because the later should be in the path) but I get an error looking for another path: /usr/bin/env: php: No such file or directory
[04:50] <sktn07> plz in detail
[04:50] <celthunder> ilangeeran: what's  your sources.list?
[04:50] <mikha> celthunder, i made it 6 gb
[04:50] <coz_> mikau,   that should be more than fine
[04:50] <dr_Willis> browser extensions sktn07
[04:51] <sktn07> firfox
[04:51] <mikha> celthunder, will it do anything bad to my system or no ?
[04:51] <Jon--> I am having trouble hooking up a computer monitor using HDMI to my laptop with an ATI video card. Help?
[04:51] <coz_> mikau,   one and one half times the memory is swap,, at least in theory
[04:51] <ilangeeran> celthunder can i repair it with my 9.04 cd?
[04:51] <celthunder> mikha: meh..waste of 5.75GB of space and probably will kill your disk i/o if you ever actually use it (intensively not just for dead apps that want to idle in swap)
[04:51] <gohdan> sktn07: youtube-dl -f $format -t youtube.com/foo
[04:51] <dr_Willis> go to the ff extension page   theres several that handle yputube
[04:51] <coz_> Jon--,  where you type here type  this    /join #radeon
[04:51] <afroman> hello. I have upgraded to 11.04 throu update manager but now my graphic is worse. why?
[04:51] <celthunder> ilangeeran: ??? what's in your sources.list
[04:52] <mikha> coz_, ok i have 3 gb ram how to make my swap file smaller i have swap 6 gb
[04:52] <dr_Willis> !info youtube-dl
[04:52] <celthunder> mikha: did you make a swap file or a swap partition swap file just delete it and dd a new one
[04:52] <Jon--> coz_, I don't think this is a radeon specific problem, it has to do with X and xrandr, I'd rather not waste time.
[04:52] <celthunder> well unmount it first
[04:52] <coz_> mikau,  that swap isnt overdoing it,, it should be just fine
[04:52] <celthunder> coz_: unless he's running  a database server it is
[04:52] <ilangeeran> it failed connecting to the urls that is used to install programs
[04:52] <coz_> Jon--,  but they would have much more experience with configuring this with an ati card
[04:53] <coz_> celthunder,  right
[04:53] <gohdan> you'll have to'sudo youtube-dl -U' to update it to the newest version though
[04:53] <Honoo> afroman: what is your hardware specs? such as, what graphics does your computer have?
[04:53] <celthunder> ilangeeran: answer the question asked or don't bother repeating yourself
[04:53] <celthunder> coz_: so it's overdoing it
[04:53] <mikha> celthunder, in the first i made a swap partition of 1 gb then in google they suggest 1.5 the rams so i made a swap file
[04:53] <gohdan> might have to fire that cmd off twice to get it to work
[04:53] <coz_> celthunder,  it may be onver doing,, but not damaging to my knowledge ...yes?
[04:53] <celthunder> mikha: yeah theres some times google's just....wrong
[04:53] <ilangeeran> i dont understand your question
[04:54] <sktn07> is there any software like idm in windows?
[04:54] <dr_Willis> you can delete swap files  . no harm.
[04:54] <celthunder> coz_: i answered that ...waste of 5.85 gb or so of space and if he uses it (not just for stopped apps that want memoery but like intensively) he'll kill his disk i/o but otherwise no
[04:54] <dr_Willis> sktn07:  and idm is?
[04:54] <Honoo> Internet Download Manager?
[04:54] <mikha> celthunder, how to delete my swap file and if i have 3gb ram will 1gb swap file be good even tho ( when i put my system in hibernate it say not swap size )
[04:54] <coz_> celthunder,  ah yes,, that is certaininly a valid point   sorry
[04:54] <sktn07> internane download maneger
[04:55] <celthunder> mikha: don't use hibernate...
[04:55] <dr_Willis> swap file will Not work for hibernation
[04:55] <Honoo> sktn07: try JDownloader
[04:55] <Honoo> works for me

[04:56] <gohdan> now i gotta grep the log to figure out what you guys asked, hang on.
[04:56] <dr_Willis> hibetnate needs a real swap partitiin of ram size or bigger.
[04:57] <celthunder> dr_Willis: pretty sure you can get around that ...but like i said...hibernate in a general sense doesn't offer anything but a greater chance to fail
[04:57] <ilangeeran> :'(help me
[04:57] <sktn07> Honoo: jdowloader is not taking in terminal
[04:58] <celthunder> gohdan: i said xloadimage --onroot <image>
[04:58] <Honoo> oh yeah that has to be installed from somewhere else, I forgot
[04:58] <dr_Willis> nwver seen a way ariund it. but hibernate can work.  or fail  :)
[04:58] <dr_Willis> 20 sec boot as fast as a resume for me
[04:59] <celthunder> yeah
[04:59] <celthunder> unles you're an idiot booting is just as fast...
[04:59] <celthunder> or faster
[04:59] <Honoo> sktn07: I don't know whether this will be OK, but try Fatrat or KGet or something
[04:59] <celthunder> the other day i bootraced someone on SSD and i beat them
[04:59] <celthunder> i had a 5400RPM laptop drive
[04:59] <dr_Willis> or you work so chaoticly you keep 447 apps open

[05:00] <celthunder> dineshnn: default settings for what
[05:00] <gohdan> sktn07: youtube-dl works like a charm and is extremely versatile in its functionality. dont be afraid of the shell.
[05:00] <dineshnn> total
[05:00] <celthunder> gohdan: did that command work?
[05:00] <Jon--> I am having trouble hooking up a computer monitor using HDMI to my laptop with an ATI video card. Help?
[05:00] <celthunder> dineshnn: reinstall?
[05:00] <dineshnn> side panel is not hiding

[05:01] <dr_Willis> unity --reset
[05:01] <coz_> dineshnn,   ^^
[05:01] <celthunder> dr_Willis: he said total not just unity ....though that probably was more what he meant
[05:01] <dineshnn> i didnt get you
[05:01] <coz_> dineshnn,  if you eant the launcher reset the command should be   unity --reset-icons
[05:01] <sktn07> gohdan give an commands example
[05:01] <celthunder> Jon--: does xrandr see it
[05:01] <dr_Willis> unity is NOT the same as total  :)
[05:02] <gohdan> sktn07: i alredy did. check the scrollback
[05:02] <celthunder> gohdan: did you run that xloadimage?
[05:02] <coz_> dineshnn,   or    gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz-1
[05:02] <coz_> unity --reset
[05:02] <Honoo> Jon--: You have the ATI proprietary driver right? Does setting things in the Catalyst Control Center (amdcccle in the terminal) work?
[05:02] <Jon--> celthunder, http://pastebin.com/hmHXVjeF  xrandr doesn't see it, that's the problem
[05:02] <sktn07> oh yea thanks
[05:02] <celthunder> Jon--: does the ati crap see it ?
[05:03] <Jon--> celthunder, Catalyst Control Center doesn't seem to, no
[05:03] <gohdan> celthunder: complains about '--onroot'
[05:04] <celthunder> gohdan: try just one - so xloadimage -onroot sory
[05:04] <gohdan> sktn07: consult the wikipedia entry on youtube for a list of arguments to throw at it for the format selection
[05:04] <ahrimen> hello all, I'm having a fustrating problem. I just got latest updates from update manager and chagned my nvidia driver to the 173(?) option. And now when I restart my machine it locks up once it is done booting. Can anyone help? Thanks
[05:04] <celthunder> Jon--: does the tv or hwatever recognize it's plugged in does the audio play rom it?
[05:04] <celthunder> Jon--: or just no video or nothing works with it?
[05:04] <sktn07> commands to make usb bootable ..anyone know?
[05:05] <coz_> ahrimen,  did you change the driver in Hardware drivers?
[05:05] <ahrimen> yes
[05:05] <coz_> ahrimen,  you uninstalled the previous version then rebooted first ...yes?
[05:06] <gohdan> celthunder: "Building XImage...done" still all weird but, lxsession is finicky sometimes so let me log in and out
[05:06] <Jon--> celthunder, My monitor goes from check signal cable to black screen when it is plugged in, suggesting that there is a connection, yes.
[05:06] <ahrimen> actually i just selected the numbered version and hit activate. I then restarted the machine. So no I did not uninstall the previous verion
[05:06] <coz_> sktn07,  you can use unetbootin
[05:06] <coz_> sktn07,  it is not command line althought there may be a cli part to it
[05:06] <celthunder> Jon--: check signal cable means no connection if it's flickering between that and black theres a problem
[05:07] <Jon--> It's not
[05:07] <celthunder> Jon--: did you try hitting the fn + monitor key or is this a desktop
[05:07] <Jon--> It goes from check cable to just a black screen when you plug it in
[05:07] <Jon--> Remains black until you unplug cable.
[05:07] <celthunder> ok
[05:07] <celthunder> yeah does your audio see it?
[05:07] <coz_> is there a bios setting for hdmi ?
[05:08] <jiohdi> sktn07, in gparted you set the flag on it to boot
[05:08] <celthunder> coz_: theres bios settings for hdmi...cool
[05:08] <djmaster> coz, no
[05:08] <gohdan> celthunder: its a no go. still gdm.
[05:08] <coz_> ok  I dont have have a laptop to  try for hdmi,, was just checking
[05:08] <Jon--> coz_, I am not sure.
[05:08] <celthunder> gohdan: hmm ok what terminal app were you using again?
[05:08]  * gohdan contemplates changing that background to match the desktop as a work around
[05:09] <Darkenvy> how do I check my free disk space? terminal
[05:09] <Darkenvy> im on a VPS
[05:09] <Jon--> coz_, Should I attempt a reboot and check?
[05:09] <gohdan> celthunder: gnome-terminal and the lxterminal that ships with lxde
[05:09] <coz_> Darkenvy,    df -h
[05:09] <Darkenvy> thanks
[05:09] <celthunder> Darkenvy: df
[05:09] <Darkenvy> what is df?
[05:09] <Irish`> disk free
[05:09] <Darkenvy> I feel if I knoww hat it is I will remember
[05:09] <Darkenvy> thaks
[05:09] <Darkenvy> -h flag?
[05:09] <coz_> Jon--,   well I would stick with celthunder  for this,, I was just  suggesting  a possible  bios setting
[05:09] <Irish`> human readable
[05:10] <Darkenvy> ah
[05:10] <coz_> Darkenvy,  the -h  will make it  easier to understand
[05:10] <Darkenvy> cool
[05:10] <ahrimen> coz_: actually i just selected the numbered version and hit activate. I then restarted the machine. So no I did not uninstall the previous verion
[05:10] <Darkenvy> I <3 #ubuntu
[05:11] <teddyroosebelt> is it possible to use the same hd im ghosting with clonezilla to store the .img/iso file on? i just need to store the iso/img file and then ill burn it, but i don't have an external drive
[05:11] <oYseDnV> Yer same here.
[05:11] <Jon--> celthunder, My audio does not seem to see the HDMI either. Though I just checked through GUI. There is definitely a consistent signal [check signal cable goes away and stays away]
[05:11] <coz_> ahrimen,   I would uninstall  the nvidia drivers and reboot,, then install the one you want to use
[05:12] <Jon--> celthunder, I have a Windows dual boot if you wanted mt to test the monitor in Windows.
[05:12] <afroman> since I installed 11.04, my graphic isn't working at 100%, what's wrong?
[05:12] <oYseDnV> Hey umm, what can I do with ''cannot find ''MSVCP60.dll'' Please, re-install this application''???
[05:12] <coz_> afroman,  what is "not working at 100%" mean,, its slower,, what
[05:12] <ahrimen> ok, thanks
[05:12] <afroman> coz_: slower
[05:12] <coz_> afroman,  is compiz enabled,, rather are you using Unity?
[05:13] <josephoenix> Okay... well I just tried to disable a service using update-rc.d
[05:13] <celthunder> Jon--: is this a laptop?
[05:13] <josephoenix> and saw "Do NOT use update-rc.d for this purpose in the docs"
[05:13] <josephoenix> What should I do?
[05:13] <coz_> afroman,   is this 11.04  Unity ?
[05:13] <Jon--> celthunder, yeah
[05:14] <afroman> coz_: glx_gears gives me a low number, plus images tends to skip frames when in use of 2-3 progs
[05:14] <afroman> coz_: Unity 2d
[05:14] <coz_> afroman,  ah
[05:14] <daurnimator> how does ubuntu detect my sim card slot?
[05:14] <coz_> afroman,  w hich video card do you have?
[05:14] <daurnimator> ==> I think its not
[05:15] <josephoenix> oh, never mind
[05:15] <afroman> coz_: ati radeon mobility hd 3470
[05:15] <coz_> afroman,  ah ok,, I am a complete dunce with ati  problems,, I hand you over to someone who knows more than I do
[05:16] <afroman> coz_: who would that be?
[05:16] <histo> daurnimator: lsusb see if the card reader is listed
[05:16] <Jon--> josephoenix, Ubuntu prefers the use of 'service'. Man it.
[05:17] <daurnimator> histo: it appears not to be
[05:17] <josephoenix> Jon--: 'k
[05:17] <histo> daurnimator: also check lspci
[05:17] <coz_> afroman,  not sure who is more experience with ati here,, so just hand out and ask again
[05:17] <Jon--> Unless I misread your question
[05:17] <Jon--> Which is possible
[05:17] <josephoenix> Jon--: no, I just don't know how I'm supposed to enable and disable services on this server
[05:17] <histo> josephoenix: stop servicename
[05:18] <Jon--> josephoenix, sudo service servicename stop/start/restart
[05:18] <histo> josephoenix: start servicename
[05:18] <daurnimator> histo: pretty much everything is intel in lspci; not intel is vga card, wireless(wlan) and soundcaard
[05:18] <daurnimator> (ps, my touchapd also doens't work)
[05:18] <josephoenix> histo, Jon--: that will persist after reboot?
[05:18] <histo> daurnimator: you have a sim card reader?  how does it connect to the machine?
[05:18] <daurnimator> histo: its a laptop, theres a sim card slot in the back of it
[05:18] <Jon--> josephoenix, nah, service works like /etc/init.d/
[05:19] <histo> Jon--: in that case he would use update-rc.d to controll what service at what runlevel
[05:19] <afroman> Jon--: thx for the assist
[05:19] <histo> daurnimator: ohh for what a cell modem inside?
[05:19] <oYseDnV> Heyyyy, what can I do with ''cannot find 'MSVCP60.dll' Please, re-install this application''???
[05:19] <oYseDnV> o.o
[05:20] <Jon--> josephoenix, There's a warning in the man page to not use it? Sorry, I don't know what is prefered. It's probably a wrapper like service
[05:20] <daurnimator> histo: yeah.... I just bought a 3G modem for it; put it inside; the 3G modem comes up in lsusb; but I dont' think its found teh sim
[05:20] <Jon--> celthunder, any ideas?
[05:20] <daurnimator> (and hence can't use the modem)
[05:20] <afroman> anybody help with ATI troubles?
[05:20] <josephoenix> Jon--: the warning was in the wiki documentation, and was actually under an older section.. but the rest of the page wasn't any more informative
[05:20] <histo> josephoenix: hold up one sec let me read some stuff
[05:21] <histo> daurnimator: did you try configuring it with network-manager?
[05:21] <celthunder> Jon--: fn + monitor keys switch 2-3 times and each time check xrandr/pulse/catalyst for the hdmi
[05:21]  * gohdan gnome sweet gnome
[05:21] <josephoenix> On an unrelated note, anyone know if I can ignore just join/part lines in a channel with irssi?
[05:21] <daurnimator> histo: yeah... it found it; but it wouldn't connect
[05:21] <celthunder> josephoenix: yeah you can
[05:22] <josephoenix> Is it /ignore #ubuntu JOINS?
[05:22] <celthunder> josephoenix: google ofr it to find the exact command i just started using weechat instead...has a smartfilter i like better
[05:22] <hexacode> can someone tell me why i have 2 different mac addresses for my router?   airodump gives me one mac address that my nic is associated with, i assume this is the wireless router im connected to...however, the sbin utlity "arp" gives me a different HWaddress for my default gateway's ip address
[05:22] <celthunder> josephoenix: don't remember
[05:22] <josephoenix> k
[05:22] <trism> josephoenix: /ignore #ubuntu JOINS PARTS (and possibly QUITS NICKS as well)
[05:22] <afroman> since I installed 11.04, my graphic is slow, what's wrong?
[05:22] <josephoenix> Ah, thanks trism
[05:23] <histo> josephoenix: sudo update-rc.d servicename stop 2 3 4 5    or what ever runlevels you want
[05:23] <josephoenix> That'll make this channel a little easier to read xD
[05:23] <Jon--> celthunder, I have a button that may control monitors, I've never used it. I hit it three times and checked xrandr, catalyst, and pulse from GUI all three times. There is no change in output(s).
[05:23] <hexacode> can someone tell me why i have 2 different mac addresses for my router?   airodump gives me one mac address that my nic is associated with, i assume this is the wireless router im connected to...however, the sbin utlity "arp" gives me a different HWaddress for my default gateway's ip address. what is up with that
[05:23] <josephoenix> histo: okay, so 'stop' is the level to disable the service?
[05:23] <celthunder> Jon--: you have to push  fn key when pushing it (it's a function key right like f6 )
[05:23] <histo> josephoenix: the levels control which runlevels you want to disable it on 1-6
[05:24] <josephoenix> ahh, got it
[05:24] <Jon--> celthunder, Yes. :P. I did so. It looks like an emptyrectangle|filledrectangle
[05:24] <histo> josephoenix: mostlike 2-5
[05:24] <histo> josephoenix: sorry most likely
[05:24] <Jon--> celthunder, The other key just seems to turn my monitor off. The other function keys seem unrelated
[05:24] <josephoenix> is there a way to list what runlevels it's on? or should I just ls /etc/rc*...
[05:25] <coz_> afroman,  the only think I can think of  is to disable sync to vblank,, I know this speeds things up with nvidia and a also ati from a few articles I just read
[05:25] <coz_> afroman,  not sure how to do that with ati
[05:26] <hexacode> can someone tell me why i have 2 different mac addresses for my router?   airodump gives me one mac address that my nic is associated with, i assume this is the wireless router im connected to...however, the sbin utlity "arp" gives me a different HWaddress for my default gateway's ip address. what is up with that
[05:27] <josephoenix> histo: okay, it looks like there are links for apache2 in rc0, rc1  and rc6.. should I remove those?
[05:27] <afroman>  coz_: I'll check on ccc, but still the question remains why it would work fine on 10.10 then slow on 11.04 ?
[05:27] <celthunder> hexacode: is your default gateway an ethernet?
[05:28] <rypervenche> Tristam: That didn't work for me on weechat :(
[05:28] <Jon--> celthunder, I googled for the user guide and I was using the correct button.
[05:28] <hexacode> celthunder its wlan0
[05:28] <coz_> afroman,  not sure,, I k now it has been a common issue on some nvidia and apparenlty ati cards  especially with compiz running,, I have not heard of t his with Unity 2d however
[05:28] <kdog> hexacode: my arp shows one mac for my laptop nic and one mac for the AP
[05:29] <hexacode> celthunder ...the mac that the arp utility is giving me doesnt match my wireles nic or my wired nic
[05:29] <Guest63521> Unable to install Ubuntu on a DG45ID board from intel. The disks won't mount during install, however, they do mount from the live session. Whats up?
[05:29] <histo> josephoenix:  0 is for shutdown phase 1 is for recovery console and 6 is for reboot
[05:29] <histo> josephoenix: so if you want.  That's the only time it would get called is shutdown reboot or recovery
[05:30] <josephoenix> histo: right, I'm thinking I don't need a web server that starts on shutdown...
[05:30] <afroman> coz_: could it be a clash between a prog that was running on 10.10 and the driver on 11.04 or something like that?
[05:30] <Jon--> celthunder, If you're busy I can say *censor* it and move on
[05:30] <afroman> coz_: coz I did the upgrade throu update manager...
[05:31] <celthunder> Jon--: i'm out of ideas whatev
[05:31] <Jon--> VGA does work, but the resolution is a little shotty and cuts things off on the edge, 1920x1080 doesn't get along with VGA
[05:31]  * gohdan glad i made a list of files pulled in prior to installing lxde as i just had to purge them all by hand. weird.
[05:31] <coz_> afroman,  i dont think it would be from any application, you said this was overall systemically..yes?  not just with a specific application
[05:32] <coz_> whoa  i didnt mean "overall" systemically...talk about redundant
[05:33] <ilangeeran> where can i download videos  that could be able to play in totem movie player
[05:33] <afroman> coz_: I have another prob that I think might be related. I can't listen to 2 sounds simultaneously
[05:33] <josephoenix> histo: something else that confused me is that mysql was installed and presumably added to startup, but I don't see links in the rc folders...
[05:34] <coz_> ilangeeran,  do you have all of the codecs in stalled?
[05:34] <ilangeeran> no
[05:34] <coz_> ilangeeran,  most videos ,,"most"  should play in totem
[05:34] <Jon--> celthunder, Man, you won't believe this....
[05:34] <gohdan> ilangeeran: totem is evil. repent now and join the cult of vlc
[05:34] <coz_> ilangeeran,  you may want to first install ubuntu restrected-extras
[05:34] <Jon--> celthunder, I had to reboot with the chord plugged in from the start, it worked.
[05:34] <coz_> ilangeeran,  is this 64 or 32 bit/
[05:35] <rypervenche> gohdan: If you've got up-to-date codecs then VLC can be a burden. Just look at VLC+theora.
[05:35] <owen1> is there an app that record a video when there is movment around?
[05:35] <ilangeeran> tell me the site where to download that restricted extras
[05:35] <coz_> ilangeeran,   just  in terminal    sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[05:35] <afroman> coz_: ex: I can't watch 2 movies or listen 2 songs with 2 different softwares like movie player and vlc, the sound gets distorted
[05:35] <coz_> ilangeeran,  is this 64 bit or 32 bit
[05:35] <gohdan> rypervenche: BLASPHEMY!!! i will hear none of this! :P
[05:36] <ilangeeran> 32 bit
[05:36] <coz_> ilangeeran,  aso go here and download the w32codecs    http://packages.medibuntu.org/natty/w32codecs.html

[05:37] <coz_> afroman,  do the videos both play without  video issues?
[05:37] <ilangeeran> i am doing that
[05:37] <afroman> coz_: I should mention that I have a tv connected thou hdmi
[05:37] <coz_> afroman, ` ok you lost me with that,,,

[05:41] <Jon--> Okay, new problem, I'm hoping you guys can help me.
[05:41] <gohdan> rypervenche:  i hear ya. my biggest beef is the pixelization when seeking and the way it fills its buffers
[05:42] <Jon--> I want to force a screen resolution of 1440x900. It can be a temporary solution, doesn't have to be permanent. Laptop computer using HDMI output to a second display, only using the second display currently. Maximum resolution is 1366x768.

[05:54] <ilangeeran> ilangeeran

[05:54] <the-newsman> gohdan i could not read cuz the ubuntu contunes booting but finally it does not work
[05:55] <rww> the-newsman: specifically one of the two under "Install/live DVD", depending on your architecture.
[05:56] <the-newsman> rww i know. my pc is x86 not 64
[05:56] <the-newsman> is this the offical ubuntu rleease for live CD ?
[05:57] <rww> the-newsman: you said DVD, not CD. http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/releases/11.04/release/ubuntu-11.04-dvd-i386.iso is the officiall 11.04 32-bit live DVD, yes.
[05:57] <sudeep> hi all, please help me, I am using 11.04, yesterday i forcefully shutdown ubuntu, when i rebooterd, then grub shows the option for windows and ubuntu , when i select ubuntu a cursor blinks for 10 seconds and then a black screen turns up

[05:59] <dallas1> is chromium the same as google chrome?
[05:59] <pishguy> dallas1: yes
[05:59] <van7hu> hello
[05:59] <celthunder> dallas1: no
[05:59] <celthunder> pishguy: no it's not...
[05:59] <van7hu> how could I configure firefox to handle ed2k protocol?
[06:00] <dallas1> Well, would say, an HTML5 based plugin for google chrome work for chromium?
[06:00] <celthunder> dallas1: depends on respective versions of each but yes
[06:01] <gohdan> van7hu: #firefox
[06:01] <dallas1> celthunder: Okay. I was just curious because apparently google is working on a plugin to get netflix to work on Chrome OS and google Chrome. Just one less reason why I need a Windows partition.
[06:01] <sudeep> celthunder: ctrl alt f2 also not working, i tried f3 f4 ... f12  :(
[06:02] <celthunder> sudeep: boot to terminal/recovery
[06:03] <Aframester> how do I change to a specific channel
[06:03] <theadmin> Aframester: /join #channel
[06:04] <Aframester> thx
[06:04] <thunder1212> exit
[06:04] <thunder1212> quit
[06:04] <theadmin> the-newsman: It's /quit
[06:05] <sudeep> celthunder: how do i boot to terminal/recovery ? u mean to select the ubuntu(recovery option) ? ,  selected ubuntu recovery option , it now shows some text instead of a blinking cursor, but again black screen comes
[06:06] <celthunder> sudeep: uh so you're at a black screen..again?
[06:06] <sudeep> celthunder: yes
[06:07] <theadmin> sudeep: Sounds pretty bad, you may only fix that via a livecd with chroot, but only if you know what caused the problem
[06:07] <celthunder> sudeep: can you boot to whatever ubuntu's equivalent to init 1 is?
[06:07] <celthunder> theadmin: morning/afternoon/evening mate
[06:07] <theadmin> celthunder: That'd be the recovery mode :PP
[06:08] <theadmin> celthunder: ohai
[06:08] <celthunder> theadmin: sudeep ok...can you run e2fsck on the filesystems
[06:09] <sudeep> theadmin: i forcefully shutdown an application yesterday while shutting down the system, after that it didnt reboot, i have a usb bootable stick, i can live boot trhough that, how do i recover after that ? wth chroot ?
[06:09] <pishguy> how to use shell command in bash script?
[06:09] <theadmin> sudeep: chroot is a way to get to a Linux system's terminal on another hard drive/partition than the current one, basically
[06:09] <celthunder> lets start with getting into a chroot yes
[06:10] <celthunder> pishguy: exec
[06:10] <pishguy> celthunder: exec gksu ...  ???
[06:10] <theadmin> pishguy: Normally there's no need for the exec, just type commands as you normally would
[06:11] <celthunder> pishguy: you can just run gksu for that...
[06:12] <celthunder> pishguy: exec is good for cleaning up if  you have a mem leak or something though
[06:12] <Jasman> !help
[06:12] <theadmin> Jasman: What was that for?
[06:12] <celthunder> theadmin: he was bored :)
[06:13] <rww> or looking for help, more likely
[06:14] <pishguy> celthunder: exec gksu  sep_video    . dos'nt work
[06:14] <celthunder> pishguy: you don't need exec for that
[06:15] <pishguy> celthunder: gksu  sep_video  don't getting password
[06:15] <JoFo> Hello everybody
[06:15] <JoFo> I'm looking for a program such as Freecorder (http://applian.com/freecorder4/) for Linux. Do you know one?
[06:16] <Jasman> my modem problem. sierra 305.. it's logs http://www.ihsana.com/jasman/log.txt.. I think this is the wrong port. but I dont know path config NetworkManager and modem-manager..
[06:16] <theadmin> JoFo: You could use an online alternative of some sort. THere is youtube-dl, but that's the closest you'd get to
[06:16] <pishguy> celthunder: gksu  sep_video  don't getting password :(
[06:17] <Cheri703> if I type "sudo apt-get install chromium" it defaults to some game "chromium-bsu" wouldn't it make more sense to default it to the browser? is that something I can file a bug about?
[06:17] <josephoenix> Hmm.. looks like my user account was created in a weird way. Anyone know why bash wouldn't read .bashrc on login?
[06:17] <theadmin> Cheri703: No, it's not a bug, it's normal -- chromium is in chromium-browser
[06:17] <Cheri703> yes, but chromium-bsu is chromium-bsu, not chromium
[06:17] <gohdan> Cheri703: that problem has been solved by naming it $-bsu. which is the work around implemented
[06:18] <Cheri703> but it still did it...
[06:18] <Cheri703> *shrug* was just wondering, because I wasn't expecting to get some random game instead of the browser.
[06:18] <JoFo> theadmin:  The audio streaming I want to download is not on Youtube.
[06:19] <celthunder> Cheri703: search before installing if you don't know the package name
[06:19] <rww> Cheri703: the random game was using that package name first, hence the oddness.
[06:19] <gohdan> Cheri703:  the game was in the debian repo before the browser
[06:19] <Cheri703> yeah, I can do that celthunder, didn't know that I didn't know the package name though
[06:19] <Lasivian> Anyone know a channel for shell script help? thanks
[06:19] <Cheri703> rww, gohdan, that makes sense...just...annoying
[06:20] <gohdan> Lasivian: #$your favorite sh here?????
[06:20] <josephoenix> xD wow. I just found out that the guy I took over from made my account by editing /etc/passwd by HAND
[06:21] <Lasivian> gohdan: I really I wish I understood that, pardon my lack of knowledge
[06:21] <rww> Cheri703: Yup. Debian switched chromium to point to the browser in sid, but Ubuntu doesn't use Debian's chromium browser packaging iirc, so it's currently not a package at all in oneiric.
[06:21] <theadmin> josephoenix: How did you find that out?
[06:21] <gohdan> Lasivian: #bash #zsh etc
[06:21] <celthunder> josephoenix: what's wrong with that?
[06:22] <josephoenix> celthunder: no .profile, groups aren't set right
[06:22] <celthunder> josephoenix: i've mad euser accounts by editting /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow and /etc/group
[06:22] <Lasivian> gohdan: ahh haa, I had no idea all shell script was not the same. Thank you
[06:22] <celthunder> josephoenix: cp /etc/skel /home/<usershome>
[06:22] <ZykoticK9> JoFo, for just "audio" you can do some fancy things with Pulse Audio to record ANY output - there are a couple YouTube Tutorials, as well as written ones.  pavucontrol might be a starting search term.
[06:23] <josephoenix> celthunder: well, he didn't do that.. and my home directory was world-readable..
[06:23] <celthunder> ZykoticK9: pavucontrol doesn't record anything it's just a mixer...far as i know
[06:23] <josephoenix> celthunder: point of the story is that, while that is possible, it is not recommended, because most people do it wrong
[06:23] <celthunder> josephoenix: lol chmod it
[06:23] <ZykoticK9> celthunder, it is - but that might result in some relevant documentation
[06:23] <celthunder> josephoenix: most people are idiots..we knew that to begin with...including you and me most likely
[06:23] <gohdan> Lasivian: be aware that ubuntu defaults to debian's dash shell, not bash
[06:24] <Lasivian> gohdan: ahh haa, very useful info, thank you very much
[06:25] <josephoenix> celthunder: which is why most people should use adduser most of the time... :D
[06:25] <JoFo> Thanks. I'll try that.
[06:26] <celthunder> josephoenix: i'd rather use useradd than adduser 9/10 times
[06:27] <celthunder> josephoenix: but that's more a personal preference than any real reasoning
[06:27] <josephoenix> Hmm, why? All I know about useradd is that the wiki docs say not to use it
[06:27] <celthunder> does it? i prefer useradd cause i can throw the entire command on one line
[06:28] <celthunder> i don't need 40 retarded prompts to make one user when i can do it with 1
[06:28] <casey_> Hi there. Does anyone know how to install unexucatable .exe files when running a cd with WINE? I am trying to install Phoshop CS (8.0) since I have an actual serial number.
