[17:41] <michelle__> i have looked at he how to on the site... and tried to follow the one for the alt disc install, but it failed to see the raid
[17:41] <jbendotnet> will do
[17:42] <markl> michelle__: my recommendation is to get something like: http://tinyurl.com/25yw4n5
[17:42] <markl> and start over your raid project - never use motherboard or software raid
[17:42] <Roasted> ActionParsnip, no, this particular network is a simple WPA passphrase network.
[17:42] <Roasted> ActionParsnip, its an identical setup to 2 other buildings (however theres different wireless controllers there) but its all the same kind of security and layout. Theyw rok, but this particular one does not. Hence my frustration.
[17:43] <jbendotnet> llutz: ok - clearly never signed in via SSH with this user
[17:43] <jbendotnet> doh
[17:43] <Roasted> ActionParsnip, I WAS able to connect at one point, but Id lose connection like every 10 minutes and itd struggle re-gaining it. Most often Id have to reboot to regain it.
[17:43] <ActionParsnip> Roasted: got the latest driver for your device?
[17:43] <jbendotnet> in
[17:43] <jbendotnet> phew
[17:43] <michelle__> markl:   i cant... my windows install is on the raid
[17:43] <llutz> jbendotnet: not every user needs ssh-access
[17:43] <jbendotnet> true
[17:43] <jbendotnet> this one does
[17:43] <Roasted> ActionParsnip, whatever came in hardware driver mgr in 10.04
[17:43] <markl> michelle__: copy your windows data to another drive temporarily or something like that
[17:43] <jbendotnet> just doing it all via cli and su'ing to the user
[17:44] <jbendotnet> so didn't notice
[17:44] <markl> michelle__: it won't be easy but you have to get rid of that POS motherboard raid somehow
[17:44] <Lartza_> how do you restart xfce login manager?
[17:44] <karma_police> i want to be able to right click a volume or flash drive and format but i don't have that option
[17:44] <Lartza_> Or display manager
[17:44] <Lartza_> what's the service?
[17:44] <ActionParsnip> Roasted: maybe there is a newer one that hardware manager doesn't know about yet. i'm guessing its some cheap broadcom 43xx thing
[17:45] <llutz> Lartza_: gdm most likely
[17:45] <phillyj> how do i remove a program? I ran "make clean" and then "make distclean" as was said in the install file but the folder is still there
[17:45] <ActionParsnip> karma_police: you need to add a service menu in nautilus
[17:45] <michelle__> nah...  i know they have support for it in dmraid... would rather use that if i can
[17:45] <shamelessn00b> hi, I accidently rm -r'ed my /home/Desktop folder
[17:45] <Lartza_> llutz: On xubuntu? :/
[17:45] <jrib> phillyj: I assume you didn't use apt to install it?
[17:45] <archetype> Unno: jesus christ i ve been looking at it for half an hour!!! ... have you seen the code? check line 20!!! at the end you have a ; at the if statement
[17:45] <karma_police> how do i add a sevice menu in nautilus?
[17:45] <phillyj> no
[17:45] <kev_> GeekSquid, Hey, that ctrl+alt+f1 worked
[17:46] <rmatte> is there a way to do a do-release-upgrade and have it automatically select all of the default options?
[17:46] <shamelessn00b> how to recover deleted files in ubuntu
[17:46] <shamelessn00b> ?
[17:46] <llutz> Lartza_: afaik xfce has no special dm
[17:46] <michelle__> when i am ready to dump windows completely, i would redo it as a  software raid
[17:46] <jrib> !recover | shamelessn00b
[17:46] <kev_> And when I tried failsafe gnome again, I just got a message that gconf server exited with an error  ( It was there before, I simply forgot to tell you)
[17:46] <jrib> shamelessn00b: basically, use your backups
[17:46] <phillyj> i used the ./configure; make; make install method
[17:46] <ThinkingInBits> So I installed vsftpd and I'm successfully connecting to /var/www through ftp, but when I try to upload a file I receive a critical file transfer error, any ideas?
[17:46] <iceroot> shamelessn00b: if it was on gui, use the trash, if it was rm say goodbye to the files
[17:46] <kev_> GeekSquid, And when I tried failsafe gnome again, I just got a message that gconf server exited with an error  ( It was there before, I simply forgot to tell you)
[17:46] <shamelessn00b> :(
[17:46] <ThinkingInBits> the user's home dir is set to /var/www, but I can't upload files to that location
[17:46] <ActionParsnip> karma_police: there are guides everywhere for them, you can add extra functionality to right clicks of any type of thing to make life easier
[17:47] <shamelessn00b> Im tryng to use scalpel
[17:47] <llutz> ThinkingInBits: checked permissions? "ls -ld /var/www"
[17:47] <ActionParsnip> karma_police: someone may have already made one as it does make sense
[17:47] <archetype> told ya that this is a PEBCAK
[17:47] <jrib> phillyj: why?  You should always use APT whenever possible.  To remove it, you'll have to read tho software's documentation.  Sometimes developers include a "make uninstall" rule.   I've been looking for half a day at it. I guess a fresh pair of eyes is welcomed all the time
[17:47] <Lartza_> printscreen, k and?
[17:47] <ThinkingInBits> llutz: drwxr-xr-x
[17:48] <michelle__> so... if i did wipe my raid and start over... how would i have a dual boot system with windows and linux both striped in a raid 5 config
[17:48] <jrib> !away > edmoore|away
[17:48] <llutz> ThinkingInBits: owner/group?
[17:48] <ThinkingInBits> it should be drwxrwxr-x?
[17:48] <archetype> Unno: welcome. Glad to be of some help :)
[17:48] <michelle__> in a software raid setup
[17:48] <kev_> My gconfiguration server crashed with an error 256. Any ideas?
[17:48] <ThinkingInBits> root root
[17:49] <kev_> Simply put, I can;t log in
[17:49] <Unno> archetype: works like a charm. thanks again. G*d d*amn you stupid ' ; ' char
[17:49] <rmatte> is there a way to do a do-release-upgrade and have it automatically select all of the default options?
[17:49] <ActionParsnip> Lartza_: should be ALT+K+PrintScrn
[17:49] <llutz> ThinkingInBits: what group does vsftpd run with, nogroup? "chgrp nogroup /var/www" "chmod g+w /var/www"
[17:50] <kev_> Lartza_, Why do u need it? 'cos my xorg kind of crashed and I'm wondering if this particular shortcut will do any good.
[17:50] <ActionParsnip> Lartza_: you can re-enable it under keyboard prefs
[17:50] <archetype> Unno: yeah... very well hidden this tricky little ";". you could never understand why it is going in the error statement
[17:50] <perlmonkey2> Sometimes my laptop won't change cpu freq scales and sticks at its idle setting.  Pulling the power and plugging it back in resets it, but is there another way to reset the cpu scaler besides physcially pulling the cord?
[17:50] <ThinkingInBits> llutz: I'm new to linux, still grasping how accounts/groups work
[17:51] <michelle__> it is kind of irritating to see that this problem has existed for years, and it still hasn't been addressed in the main install
[17:51] <kev_> Any idea what's with this gconf server?
[17:51] <Unno> archetype: I should document this new error: "Success" and explain how to achieve it. It should be a blast in the geek community
[17:52] <ThinkingInBits> llutz: I'm going to change my ftp username's group to have permissions on /var/www
[17:53] <llutz> ThinkingInBits: you don't want to have vsftpd running with group=root
[17:53] <karma_police> is there a linux mint help chat? i know i am in an ubuntu room
[17:53] <phillyj> jrib it wasn't a file i could use apt with
[17:53] <ThinkingInBits> fsftpd is not a valid user
[17:53] <jrib> phillyj: what exactly was it?
[17:53] <michelle__> yea.. mint is on the spotchat networl
[17:53] <ThinkingInBits> llutz: my ftp user, is in a self titled group
[17:53] <michelle__> yea.. mint is on the spotchat network
[17:54] <llutz> ThinkingInBits: k
[17:54] <ThinkingInBits> Do I want to change my home directory to 777?  Or should I make my ftp user the owner?
[17:55] <^kiff^> hi
[17:55] <llutz> ThinkingInBits: 777 is a bad idea in most cases. why does your ftp-user needs access to your home?
[17:55] <ThinkingInBits> well his home directory is /var/www
[17:56] <phillyj> jrib: it was a FFTW; a Fourier Transform library
[17:56] <llutz> ThinkingInBits: ftp-home ok, "chgrp group /var/www" and "chmod g+w /var/www"  where group is your ftp-group
[17:56] <ThinkingInBits> llutz: the ftp user is named ftpuser in a group entitled ftpuser
[17:56] <jrib> phillyj: there are plenty of those, you're being vague
[17:57] <phillyj> jrib: a C subroutine library
[17:57] <llutz> ThinkingInBits: so "sudo chgrp ftpuser /var/www"
[17:57] <Dark_Wolf> I've got a Dell Inspiron 1100, and Xorg doesn't work on the laptop's monitor, it just goes straight to external, even with no monitor connected. Can anyone tell me how to fix it?
[17:57] <Dark_Wolf> I'm on Lucid, by the way
[17:57] <xloosescrewx> I need help with flash player i cant see/hear any web "streaming "videos all i get is a black screen
[17:57] <jrib> !info libfftw3-3 | phillyj, this?
[17:57] <phillyj> jrib: I installed a newer version but i needed an older version
[17:57] <Glacer> Hello, has anyone got Gdesklet to work on 10.04? mine took a update and now it will not start.
[17:57] <Dark_Wolf> Glacer: I don't think it works :/
[17:58] <phillyj> jrib: yes but i needed 2.x.x version
[17:58] <Glacer> I used older version got it to work 1 time, then it updated again and messed it up
[17:58] <jrib> !info fftw2 | phillyj, this?
[17:58] <ThinkingInBits> llutz: works now, thanks.  What exactly did those commands do?
[17:58] <phillyj> so its already installed?
[17:59] <jrib> phillyj: no, it's available in the repositories
[17:59] <kage> Qualcuno può aiutarmi a configurare trinity su ubuntu?
[17:59] <xloosescrewx> hello
[17:59] <guntbert> !it | kage
[17:59] <llutz> ThinkingInBits: man chown/man chmod :)  changed ownership of that dir to a group your user is member of and gave that group write-permissions (g+w)
[17:59] <phillyj> jrib: so i use apt get?
[17:59] <xloosescrewx> I need help with flash
[17:59] <jrib> phillyj: if you want to install it, sure
[17:59] <arand_> !details | xloosescrewx
[17:59] <ZykoticK9> Glacer, open a terminal and run gdesklets and see if you get the error "Could not import tiling module!" if so you should add yourself to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdesklets/+bug/569714
[18:00] <ThinkingInBits> llutz: cool, so any subsequent ftp users that I want to have permissions, I can just add them to this group :D
[18:00] <llutz> ThinkingInBits: yes
[18:01] <xloosescrewx> im running ubuntu 10.4 when i try to play any sort of streaming media the video only goes to a black screen, nosound either.
[18:01]  * ActionParsnip laments for his firewire hdd connection :(
[18:01] <Dark_Wolf> Does anyone know where there might be any instructions on getting 10.04 working on a Dell Inspiron 1100?
[18:01] <phillyj> jrib: so what should i type? apt-get 2.1.3?
[18:01] <ActionParsnip> xloosescrewx: can you use http://pastebin.com   and give the output of: dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf; uname -a     Thanks
[18:02] <jrib> phillyj: you can use Software Center if you aren't comfortable using apt-get
[18:02] <ActionParsnip> Dark_Wolf: www.laptoplinux.com
[18:02] <jrib> !apt > phillyj
[18:02] <Dark_Wolf> ActionParsnip: That's a search portal.... wrong URL?
[18:03] <xloosescrewx> im confused, do you want me to go to pastebin and what is dpkg?
[18:03] <ActionParsnip> Dark_Wolf: www.linux-laptop.net
[18:03] <phillyj> jrib: back to my 1st question; should i remove the folder fftw-3.2.2? and how?
[18:03] <Dark_Wolf> ActionParsnip: Doesn't have 10.04 for my model.
[18:04] <ActionParsnip> xloosescrewx: the thing after the link is a command to run in terminal, copy the outouot and paste it into the link , this will allow you to give the output without spamming the channel to death
[18:04] <jrib> phillyj: as I said before: To remove it, you'll have to read tho software's documentation.  Sometimes developers include a "make uninstall" rule.  When they don't you must delete the files yourself
[18:04] <Dark_Wolf> Anyone know how to get X working on an Inspiron 1100?
[18:04] <ActionParsnip> Dark_Wolf: its going to be basically the same
[18:04] <Dark_Wolf> ActionParsnip: xorg is a lot different in 10.04
[18:05] <xloosescrewx> ok
[18:05] <ActionParsnip> Dark_Wolf: just because its not EXACTLY what you are using doesnt't mean it wont fly
[18:05] <bezdomni> Is ubuntu software center the preferred way to install software, or is it a convenience that shouldn't be expected to work consistently at this point?
[18:05] <Cynthia> bezdomni: the former
[18:05] <jrib> bezdomni: the former
[18:05] <phillyj> jrib: o ic; i can't find the fftw 2.1.3 in the software center; i'll try apt-get
[18:05] <Cynthia> but you can also use Synaptic (which is expected to be stable) and apt-get (also)
[18:05] <ActionParsnip> Dark_Wolf: if there is an xorg.conf there then you can make the file and use it (for example). xorg.conf can still be used
[18:06] <jrib> phillyj: the package name is fftw2.  There's also sfftw2 but I don't know the difference.  You'll have to check that
[18:06] <Dark_Wolf> ActionParsnip: I have no idea how to make an xorg.conf
[18:06] <bezdomni> I ask because I am using a fresh install of ubuntu, and it keeps spitting errors at me like "sorry this software is not available for your i386 architecture" (nevermind that I am on an i686 machine), and downloads hang more often than they go through.)
[18:06] <bezdomni> Alright, cool - thanks. Synaptic is still the way to go?
[18:06] <ActionParsnip> Dark_Wolf: there are thousands of example files online, you can use sections or full versions of those files to make the xorg.conf file
[18:07] <hmw> when I want to play games in VirtualBox, should I install the OSE or the personal edition?
[18:07] <Cynthia> bezdomni: downloads hanging might be a network issue
[18:07] <llutz> hmw: OSE is fine if you don't need USB
[18:07] <hmw> thanks
[18:08] <ActionParsnip> Dark_Wolf: you can generate one with: sudo Xorg -configure
[18:08] <ZykoticK9> hmw, gaming in VBox will probably be disappointing FYI - wine is a better option
[18:08] <Dark_Wolf> ActionParsnip: I'll try.
[18:08] <Cynthia> bezdomni: (+) actually, your "no packages for this architecture" error might be because of a hung download for the package list itself - so it has an incomplete one to draw from
[18:08] <ZykoticK9> Dark_Wolf, http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/create-an-xorg-conf-file
[18:08] <bezdomni> cynthia: nah, I don't think it is. Downloading with aptitude, wget, through the browser...etc are fine.
[18:08] <Cynthia> try again later
[18:08] <jrib> How do I stop mplayer from spamming "bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111)" about a dozen times everytime I use it?  (apparently the message is not specific to mplayer, though that's the only way I have experienced it)
[18:09] <ActionParsnip> Dark_Wolf: you can then tweak to make it use a slightly different config to get better performance etc etc
[18:09] <bezdomni> Cynthia: Ok - that is interesting! I think something did screw up there a while ago, but I thought it was mended.
[18:09] <bezdomni> Thank you!
[18:09] <Cynthia> bezdomni: ah :) you can try fixing that with an 'apt-get update' command
[18:09] <ActionParsnip> Dark_Wolf: if you get no X, boot to root recovery console and rename the file.
[18:09] <Cynthia> to re-get all the package lists
[18:09] <bezdomni> Fantastic!
[18:10] <unclemantis> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
[18:10] <unclemantis> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[18:10] <unclemantis> i bailed out of my login and now i logged in again to try and start the install for java again and I get that
[18:10] <hmw> ZykoticK9: i expect it to be somewhat lame, but I recently saw some 3d support when installing guest additions to a virtual XP, so I want to give it a try (for the first time)
[18:10] <DrNight> Are software RAID sets broken for everyone during install or just me?  It seems to be trying to format /dev/mapper/isw_blah_array01 instead of /dev/mapper/isw_blah_array0p1?
[18:10] <jef91> Is there a way I can tell what is holding back my packages from upgrading?
[18:10] <labrosse> OU SUIS JE?
[18:10] <Dark_Wolf> ActionParsnip, ZykoticK9: Thanks :)
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> !fr | labrosse
[18:11] <Pici> jef91: What command ar you using and what does it say?
[18:11] <xloosescrewx> ok action parsnip, i entered toe command line into terminal, but i don't understand what to do with the website?
[18:11] <Cynthia> unclemantis: my CTCP TIME was to see if you had just gotten the automatic update checking done by update-manager around 7 AM
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> DrNight: i use hard raid if ineed it, software raid sucks imho
[18:11] <Lok> \join #tool
[18:11] <Lok> oops
[18:11] <Lok> sry
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> xloosescrewx: copy all the output, go to http://pastebin.com   paste the text in the box and lick the post button
[18:11] <FloodBot4> Lok: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:11] <unclemantis> Cynthia o_O
[18:12] <xloosescrewx> ok
[18:12] <jef91> Pici when I run apt-get upgrade it tell me 10 packages are being held back but not way
[18:12] <Pici> jef91: the 'upgrade' argument will not upgrade packages that have new dependencies.  What if you use sudo apt-get dist-upgrade?
[18:12] <DrNight> ActionParsnip, thank you for your opinion.
[18:12] <ActionParsnip> jef91: the packages have dependancies which have not been met yet
[18:12] <Cynthia> unclemantis: that's the most likely cause of the error you described, in my experience
[18:12] <ThinkingInBits> Hmm, does anyone know where the configuration file for Apache2 is located?  The one that contains the document root and what not?  I tried httpd.conf in etc/apache2, but the file was blank.  I tried apache2.conf, but this didn't contain anything about my document root.
[18:13] <ActionParsnip> jef91: so they will not come down til the dependancies are met
[18:13] <Pici> ThinkingInBits: /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/
[18:13] <ThinkingInBits> thanks
[18:13] <jef91> ActionParsnip how do I see those dependencies?
[18:13] <Pici> ActionParsnip, jef91: And they will never be grabbed if they require new packages if he does not use 'dist-upgrade'
[18:13] <unclemantis> another proccess IS using it, my login balled on me so i want to start over
[18:13] <DrNight> Well, I should be able to workaround this installer fail.
[18:13] <unclemantis> sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-fonts
[18:14] <greggg> hey guys,i would like to ask for some help reguarding the sound on my computer.hardware installed,drivers installed,and sound is all the way up.any tips?
[18:14] <jef91> Ahh dist-upgrade did it Pici thanks
[18:14] <unclemantis> I had a blue screen with an OK and I couldn't click it so i just closed my Term and logged into a new one
[18:14] <ActionParsnip> jef91: not sure dude, the upgrades will coe when they are good and ready
[18:14] <Pici> jef91: you're welcome.
[18:14] <jef91> unclemantis Hit tab and then enter to select that OK message
[18:14] <unclemantis> how do i get back into that other session?
[18:15] <matumba> hey, can anyone tell me, when "ps" shows a process in parentheses? eg. running squid as root, creates a child process with user proxy and ps output shows (squid)
[18:15] <Cynthia> (or just Enter if OK is the only choice and it's red [currently selected])
[18:15] <ActionParsnip> matumba: ps -ef | grep -i squid
[18:15] <Cynthia> matumba: that's squid doing that, it must have some meaning to squid itself - perhaps to indicate the fact that it's not the root squid process
[18:16] <greggg> help with sound please
[18:16] <Cynthia> unclemantis: what were you trying to do before you closed the Terminal instead of navigating to OK with the keyboard?
[18:16] <ActionParsnip> !details | greggg
[18:16] <xloosescrewx> ok ActionParsnip I posted the terminal to pastebin
[18:16] <matumba> Cynthia, so it's like execl("...squid", "(squid)", NONE);?
[18:16] <ActionParsnip> xloosescrewx: ok now copy the address bar and paste in here
[18:16] <greggg> ok
[18:17] <Cynthia> matumba: it will still be 'squid' to run it, but it will adjust its "command line" to read '(squid)' if it's not the root process
[18:17] <xloosescrewx> okhttp://pastebin.com/XvyPKrxs
[18:17] <bastid_raZor> unclemantis: you should have used tab to move the highlight to the OK dialog then pressed enter
[18:17] <ActionParsnip> xloosescrewx: ok great, now I can read what you pasted, you now know how to pastebin :)
[18:17] <Cynthia> matumba: (+) for example, 'ssh' often gives 'ssh: net' and 'ssh: accept' processes
[18:17] <xloosescrewx> ok cool
[18:18] <matumba> Cynthia, thx
[18:18] <Cynthia> greggg: what brand and model is your sound card? (pastebin the output of 'lshw -C sound' from a Terminal)
[18:18] <karma_police> whats the easiest way to format a usb flash drive?
[18:18] <ActionParsnip> xloosescrewx: ok thats FAR too many flash plugins, lets get rid of this mess and install the one package you need. I'll make you a command in pastebin
[18:18] <hmw> karma_police: GParted probably
[18:19] <greggg> having problem with sound,everything seems to be installed,i just dont hear anything.my kinux version is 10.04 lucid
[18:19] <DrNight> Well, forums seem to indicate that some other methods that don't use p# (like nvidia) work fine.  So I'm going to guess that all isw devices require a workaround for use during installation.
[18:19] <DrNight> Oh, well, I'll keep at it.
[18:19] <xloosescrewx> ok Action, Thanks
[18:19] <karma_police> i used to could right click the flash drive icon and format it but that option is no longer there.. i'd like the fix that if its not too incredibly hard. i'm still a noob
[18:20] <Cynthia> greggg: while that is indeed more information, often this type of problem has to do with drivers being unavailable, if you didn't touch the default configuration
[18:20] <hmw> karma_police: that option will probably only show, if the drive is not yet formatted.
[18:20] <Cynthia> greggg: (+) could you either pastebin the output of 'lshw -C sound' from a Terminal, or just say the brand and model of the sound card in here?
[18:20] <greggg> heres the info for sound card

[18:22] <greggg> product: N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller
[18:22] <greggg>        vendor: Intel Corporation
[18:22] <xloosescrewx> ok Action thanks
[18:22] <plazia> Anyone else have the problem where sometimes you boot up and your NTFS partitions are visible/mountable and other times you boot up and they are not?
[18:22] <yizi> can anyone help me get openvpn working on ubuntu server?
[18:22] <bezdomni> Yes, I find it is always a problem when I boot up and NTFS partitions are visible. :P
[18:22] <ActionParsnip> xloosescrewx: that will remove all the many flash plugins you have then install 64bit native flash which runs better on your 64bit ubuntu
[18:23] <hmw> plazia: that is uncommon
[18:23] <plazia> bezdomni, :)
[18:23] <hmw> bezdomni: it might be a bad idea to use sarcasm in here
[18:23] <plazia> hmw, but it happens?
[18:23] <unclemantis> so how do i get back to my other session?
[18:23] <plazia> yeah sarcasm isn't easily conveyed over a textual medium.
[18:23] <Cynthia> greggg: the driver should be installed, then; I had an Intel ICH7 audio chipset last year and it worked. Try going to System / Preferences / Sound and see if anything obvious is missing, for example that Hardware has the right card selected, Output has the right type of output (analog or digital), and Applications has no Mute tick for the application you're trying to use
[18:23] <hmw> plazia: not that i know about it. Do you have SCSI drives?
[18:23] <ActionParsnip> plazia: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/mountwindows
[18:24] <plazia> well they're all sata so sorta count as scsi I guess.
[18:24] <yizi> anyone got a good guide for openvpn?
[18:24] <bezdomni> plazia: I've never encoutered such a problem - but intuitively I'm thinking maybe that problem could be with your BIOS?
[18:24] <plazia> in the sense that hdparm requires you to do /dev/sda rather than /dev/hda.
[18:24] <karma_police> is there a tutorial fo how to use the nautilus actions?
[18:24] <plazia> it only happens about 1 out of every 5 bootups.
[18:24] <bezdomni> karma_police - I think there is a help menu with a decent tutorial.
[18:25] <hmw> plazia: i was thinking on a race condition, but i believe, that is uncommon with modern sata
[18:25] <plazia> hmw, bezdomni the thing is I've noticed it's not just relegated to ntfs partition. a usb flash drive will not mount either.
[18:25] <ActionParsnip> karma_police: http://techthrob.com/2009/03/02/howto-add-items-to-the-right-click-menu-in-nautilus/

[18:25] <guitar-maniac> help! I just did ubuntu clean install 10,04. and now my biggest resulotion is 640xetc. everything worked fine when i upgraded
[18:25] <yizi> anyone installed OPENVPN before?
[18:25] <greggg> where do i find preferences?its not in the drop down "system" menu.
[18:25] <hmw> plazia: perhaps the BIOS theory applies.  I don't know what happened, but my gnome desktop isn't showing up, but the panels are. anyone know what I should check?
[18:25] <xloosescrewx> ok ActionParsnips, do I need to do anything else? save, or exit?
[18:26] <ActionParsnip> xloosescrewx: restart your browser
[18:26] <bezdomni> Did you check /etc/fstab for anything out of the ordinary?
[18:26] <Cynthia> guitar-maniac: details details! :) what is the brand and model of your graphics chipset, and does 'cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf' output anything?

[18:27] <b0n1> hi why are some poeple uploading illegal files on rapidshare and want that other poeple download them ?
[18:27] <dejavou42> anyone know why the gnome desktop wouldn't show up, but panels would?
[18:27] <Cynthia> guitar-maniac: you could always reduce the font size a bit, I guess ;) and I prefer pastebin-linking to the channel
[18:27] <karma_police> what all programs are available that format usb flash drives? i know of gparted
[18:27] <b0n1> do they get money for that?

[18:28] <guitar-maniac> long info came with that cat command

[18:28] <guitar-maniac> my graphic card is nvidia 8600gt, worked fine before this clean install..
[18:28] <b0n1> yes but how do uploaders profit ?
[18:28] <guitar-maniac> and yes, i did take the drivers as usual.
[18:28] <greggg> i am using gnome
[18:28] <hmw> dejavou42: do you still see the background image you used to have?
[18:29] <b0n1> in torrent i understand it, because they can download faster if they seed

[18:29] <Cynthia> guitar-maniac: clean reinstall, eh. you might have to get back into the Driver Manager (System / Administration / Hardware Drivers) to install the driver again
[18:29] <dejavou42> hmw: nvm, If I would have moved my windows, I would have seen the icons appeared again. Thanks!
[18:29] <b0n1> but on rapidshare and other uploading servers i dont get it
[18:29] <ActionParsnip> b0n1: they dont but they get to give out illegal files easily etc, its like illegal torrents

[18:31] <hmw> dejavou42: perhaps the problem remains, you will see on your next boot. I just guessed, that your current Nautilus instance might have had some hickup, so killing the process simply restarted it. Perhaps you should reboot and check, if the problem persists.

[18:36] <gwz> i know , not a total newb at unix
[18:36] <hmw> dejavou42: i can only guess from here on; My theory: Some program, that is loaded on start, makes Nautilus crash. Perhaps you get lucky and find something in your autostarts.  Perhaps there is a bug?
[18:36] <gwz> ackage sun-java6-jre is not available, but is referred to by another package.

[18:37] <gwz> thanks
[18:38] <jrib> sanu01: packages.ubuntu.com should tell you if you aren't using ubuntu.  If you are, use apt-cache policy

[18:39] <xnox> no it was not amsg
[18:39] <LedHed> sometimes when I do an 'apt-get update'  the downloads stall out, or slow to 1kbps, is there a way to prevent this (and no its not my internet connection)
[18:39] <Cynthia> ah mk
[18:39] <hmw> dejavou42: Perhaps you can find out, if something happened before that error started happening; Did you update? Install software? Change Themes? Tweak your system in some way?
[18:39] <Pici> xnox: This is a support channel, are you asking a question about that?

[18:48] <ActionParsnip> Cynthia: you can use network manaer in any DE you like, as well as LXDE

Is there a way I can migrate to a full install without having to format my HD? Also this is all done on a single windows C: Partition ( stupid I know )
[18:49] <aeon-ltd> dejavou42: btw my solution will just offset the problem not solve it

[18:55] <Nilos> brb
[18:55] <livingdaylight> !java
[18:55] <benkevan> !hi | scuffed
[18:55] <Cynthia> abuayyoub: TKtg1 was only repeating my message, and he was banned
[18:55] <dejavou42> aeon-ltd: I'm still getting use to the new menus in 10.04, but as far as I know, there is the startup-applications (which replaced the old sessions menu option) and I can use a terminal scheduler to run things, but other than that I do not know of another place where start up applications might be...
[18:56] <sebsebseb> Hi
[18:56] <ActionParsnip> livingdaylight: yes it should install java
[18:56] <hmw> moreia: l3iohazard: it will span both screens in xinerama mode, i think, or in the other mode, my bad memory. one mode maximizes to both screens.
[18:56] <abuayyoub> oh, sorry :) Thanks Cynthia
[18:56] <benkevan> !hi | sebsebseb
[18:56] <dejavou42> aeon-ltd: I suppose I could try msconfig..... :)
[18:56] <sebsebseb> benkevan: hi
[18:56] <Cynthia> abuayyoub: you can resize them in GParted... right now? You mean from Wubi or from the GParted LiveCD? (gparted.sourceforge.net)
[18:56] <aeon-ltd> dejavou42: oh wait can you still browse nautilus?
[18:56] <aeon-ltd> dejavou42: show hidden files and click on xinitrc
[18:56] <dejavou42> aeon-ltd: yeah, I just have to kill nautilus after boot
[18:57] <razib> In One of my user account GNOME desktop is not woking, is there any way to reload or repair it?
[18:57] <livingdaylight> ActionParsnip, when i go to gokgs.com webstart doesn't let me play in Chromium. Says that java plugin is missing?
[18:57] <Cynthia> abuayyoub: a bit of explanation is in order. Your "partition" for Wubi is in fact just a file on Windows, that file having a filesystem of its own. You'll need to extract that "file" into an actual partition and make it bootable.
[18:57] <abuayyoub> Cynthia, From my ubuntu install. Which im logged into right now. ( I have two boot selections at startup win 7 and ubuntu)
[18:57] <abuayyoub> Cynthia, Ok, I got you.
[18:57] <sebsebseb> razib: probably
[18:58] <Cynthia> abuayyoub: The Ubuntu install you're using can't edit partitions. It'll only see from within that file. You'll need to boot into a real LiveCD
[18:58] <valinux> test
[18:58] <sebsebseb> razib: if you move/delete the correct .folders and then re load the account,  I guess it  will work properly again
[18:58] <sebsebseb> razib: hidden .folders in Home
[18:58] <aeon-ltd> dejavou42: are you viewing xinitrc now?
[18:58] <abuayyoub> Cynthia, ok, so boot into the live CD and make a Partition big enough to hold my wubi files
[18:58] <scuffed> can anyone help me with my atheros problem im having?
[18:58] <Nilos> bk
[18:58] <dejavou42> aeon-ltd: ok the only thing in that file is . /etc/X11/xsession
[18:59] <aeon-ltd> dejavou42: no in your home directory show hidden files there should be a xinitrc
[18:59] <dejavou42> aeon-ltd: I should say the only thing not commented out
[18:59] <Cynthia> abuayyoub: hold up, there might be an automatic way to do it. read the instructions carefully, because I don't know if it'll delete data or try to preserve it : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1410208
[18:59] <razib> .fokders i mean hidden folders?
[18:59] <Nilos> I need help getting a wireless driver to work.I have used ndisgtk to install the driver, and the device is seen in lsusb, but the device has not been configured.
[18:59] <abuayyoub> Cynthia, ok. Because if it's  just a matter of making a big enough partition i could just boot into windows and use partition magic or something.
[19:00] <dejavou42> aeon-ltd: nope, there isn't a .xinitrc in home
[19:00] <livingdaylight> ActionParsnip, I see now that sun-java is not installed. Maybe itis that ubuntu-restricted-extras installs some kind of java plugin but not the entire sun-java packaage. Or maybe even some free version, but not one that makes my java site work
[19:00] <sebsebseb> razib: view > show hidden files and folders
[19:00] <Cynthia> abuayyoub: you could do that, yes. here's another thread about this : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=784918
[19:00] <lorenzosu> Cynthia, Just for the record... the command for skype reported on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam#Skype worked.
[19:00] <sebsebseb> razib: and then the hidden dot folders show in home
[19:00] <abuayyoub> Cynthia,  haha Glad that u'm not the only one who's made this mistake :)
[19:00] <dejavou42> aeon-ltd: the only xinitrc is in /etc/x11/xinit
[19:00] <sebsebseb> razib: when you told it to show them for home
[19:00] <lorenzosu> Cynthia, Thanks for yor help anyway.
[19:00] <hmw> !java | livingdaylight
[19:01] <Cynthia> lorenzosu: well, I didn't do much :p
[19:01] <lorenzosu> Cynthia, :)
[19:01] <sebsebseb> razib: also you could get rid of the old Gnome folders, and copy in from a new user account, and then it will probably work
[19:01] <razib> thank you I will try your solution
[19:01] <sebsebseb> razib: or so start over with a new account, and copy in whatever you want from the old
[19:01] <livingdaylight> hmw, just installed it. but do you know what java is installed in ubuntu-restricted-extras if not the sun-java package?
[19:02] <scuffed> Hello Everyone, how do i ask for help in here?
[19:02] <sebsebseb> livingdaylight: no
[19:02] <ThinkingInBits> So, all of the files I upload to apache through my ftp user are only chmoded as -rw------- is this the default for a reason?  Also, I was getting access denied unless I set my www to 777, any ideas?
[19:02] <sebsebseb> livingdaylight: java is in the partner repo in Lucid
[19:02] <sebsebseb> !java  | livingdaylight
[19:02] <hmw> livingdaylight: i don't know, but I guess it must be a version not from sun... I see people advinsing !java often here
[19:02] <AhmedBH> Hi, WHen i run update from terminal i get this error at the end "W: A error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used.GPG error: http://archive.ubuntu.com lucid-proposed Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[19:02] <AhmedBH> " how do i get eid from it
[19:02] <aeon-ltd> dejavou42: easier solution! make a startup item with the command "killall nautilus" and another command with "sleep 3 && nautilus", the only problem with this solution is that it will be a 3 second delay until the icons reappear again, but its usable till you find a better solution
[19:02] <Cynthia> scuffed: Just ask the question you need. Provide details relevant to the problem, such as versions of software, brands and models of hardware, etc.
[19:03] <hmw> aeon-ltd: that is so cheap. I was thinking to do so on my pc, too... :((
[19:03] <dejavou42> aeon-ltd: I'll give it a go...
[19:03] <livingdaylight> hmw, i came to expect java in the ubuntu-restricted-extras package, but agues that is one I have to do myself
[19:03] <aeon-ltd> hmw: you have the same problem?
[19:03] <rabbit1> forgot password for .rar file, whats the solution?
[19:03] <scuffed> Atheros has VERY low signal im running 10.04 driver ath9k
[19:04] <claude23> Ok so i have the USB Persistant, but it is a .tar file. How do I use this?
[19:04] <hmw> aeon-ltd: not exactly. I get some applets drawn in total white and dysfunctional on boot, until killall gnome-panel. Seems random.
[19:04] <ActionParsnip> livingdaylight: personally I always use the 64bit .bin from sun.com and use that.
[19:04] <rsullivan> anyone know the emacs theme that normally comes with emacs-extra package?
[19:04] <Cynthia> rabbit1: This is definitely not the channel for that - please google "rar password recovery"
[19:04] <aeon-ltd> meh..........
[19:05] <Glacer> anybody got a link to the older Gdesklet, mine took a update and no it will not start.
[19:05] <dejavou42> hmw: do you have compiz installed?
[19:05] <livingdaylight> ActionParsnip, ok, you go directly... I have a 32-bit system so, ubuntu's repository suits me
[19:05] <hmw> dejavou42: yes (and Karmic)
[19:05] <Nilos> I need help getting a wireless driver to work.I have used ndisgtk to install the driver, and the device is seen in lsusb, but the device has not been configured.Where can I find the toold I need?
[19:05] <Cynthia> claude23: extract the .tar file, it's just an archive. On the command-line: 'tar xvf TARFILE' after changing to the directory into which you want to extract the files. On a GUI, double-click the .tar file and drag-and-drop the files to the right folder
[19:05] <Aazoris> I need some help please. I am really new to Linux yet alone Ubuntu.. If anyone can help me please pm me
[19:05] <sebsebseb> !ask | Aazoris
[19:06] <Cynthia> Aazoris: Please try to describe the problem in here
[19:06] <hmw> dejavou42: it just started 2 days ago. Retrieving the partition image did not help, so it must be in /home, but I can't really imagine, how manipulating some text files (no confs) can cause that
[19:06] <x2xx2nd> Hey everybody.... everytime i restart my PC the screen resolution returns from 1280x1024 to the default resolution(auto).... anytime i try to save the new resolution to the xorg file im not allowed even if i do gksudo nvidia-settings.... so whats the solution?????!
[19:06] <ActionParsnip> livingdaylight: absolutely. some 64bit plugins go through nspluginwrapper which I think is messy considering native plugins exist rather than using 32bit via a wrapper
[19:06] <dejavou42> hmw: just a hunch here, as I know that compiz causes a lot of problems. try backing up your compiz preferences, purging compiz, and see if the problem goes away.
[19:06] <Cynthia> You have the bonus of not having to ask the question to multiple people in query if one says they don't know how to help.
[19:06] <hmw> dejavou42: oookay
[19:07] <hmw> dejavou42: though it ran stable for quite a while.. but who knows... I believe Ubuntu can do anything.
[19:07] <sebsebseb> !pm > Aazoris
[19:07] <randerz> can someone help me install gcc-4.2 and g++-4.2 on 10.04? I see these packages have been obsoleted
[19:08] <Cynthia> claude23: I provided two ways to extract that file in here, the programs are either 'tar' or 'file-roller'
[19:08] <ActionParsnip> x2xx2nd: run: sudo nvidia-xconfig; then run: gksudo nvidia-settings   save the config as you wish then run: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf   to review, if the res is wrong then change it. don't use auto in nvidia-settings  if the res you want isnt present and you can manually set the res in xorg.conf by modifying the values for the resolution
[19:08] <Cynthia> (From PM)
[19:08] <dejavou42> hmw: I have had compiz randomly cause problems for me in the past, and they have popped up random like that too.
[19:08] <Aazoris> Kind of hard with the lines moving so fast, I bought a vps a week ago I had Ubuntu 10.04 installed and I am wandering is ther a for like a desktop/window view other than a DOS view? If so, how would I go about having it installed?
[19:08] <hmw> dejavou42: i just can disable desktop effects and see, if it makes the whiteness go away
[19:09] <x2xx2nd> ActionParsnip: thanks buddy ill try it
[19:09] <sebsebseb> Aazoris: this channel is pretty quite at the moment,  plus to make things easier when it's busy or busyish like now,  when chatting to people directly we use tab :)
[19:09] <dejavou42> hmw: true but you may have to reload the panel after you disable compiz
[19:09] <sebsebseb> !tab | Aazoris
[19:09] <hmw> dejavou42: i will reboot
[19:09] <dejavou42> hmw: ok
[19:09] <Cynthia> AAzoris: There is one, and you could install it with 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop' on your VPS, however you'd also have to install VNC server packages
[19:10] <sebsebseb> Aazoris: plu theres a way to turn off the join and leave messages and such, but that depends on your client
[19:10] <ThinkingInBits> Hey guys, any idea why the files my FTP user uploads to the server are set with very low permissions? (-rw-------)  also, why the permissions of my /var/www have to be set to 777 just to allow access?
[19:10] <Cynthia> Aazoris (+): Or an SSH server configured to redirect X windows. Otherwise you couldn't access the graphical interface at all.
[19:10] <sebsebseb> pluss
[19:10] <Aazoris> Ok give me one sec im going to try and do that now
[19:10] <MPX> I've got a question
[19:11] <sebsebseb> !ask | MPX
[19:11] <MPX> If Ubuntu locks up, say, a game locks up, and CTRL + ALT + F1 will not work
[19:11] <MPX> I've heard that linux is virtually crash proof
[19:11] <sebsebseb> MPX: full screen game, or just in a window?
[19:11] <MPX> Full screen
[19:11] <sebsebseb> MPX: yeah a Linux distro is unlikely to crash, however some of the apps will at times
[19:11] <MPX> Is there any other keys that can bring me out to a terminal?
[19:11] <Soyo> !mpx | If you can get a terminal open and run top you can close it.
[19:12] <Soyo> !mpx | Alt+Tab
[19:12] <MPX> I know soyo, but let's say that I can't and that CTRL + ALT + F1 does nothing
[19:12] <MPX> Nor Alt + Tab
[19:12] <sebsebseb> MPX: you can do xkill in a terminal and click on an app to close it, but yeah if your in full screen, how you going to get in the termianl? :D
[19:12] <Cynthia> All of MPX's terminals are inaccessible, I think.
[19:12] <SmartViking> Does not CTRL + ATL + F1 always work?
[19:12] <MPX> I heard about SYSREQ keys to press or something
[19:12] <sebsebseb> MPX: also if you know the name of a package, you could for example killall firefox
[19:12] <MPX> No smartviking
[19:12] <Soyo> why I am putting an exclamation point on your name I don't know
[19:12] <MPX> I know all this sebsebseb
[19:13] <Wizzup> I presume there's no ppa yet for firefox w/webm? :)
[19:13] <Aazoris> Ok you mean something like AceAxe
[19:13] <MPX> But I'm for example talking about a fullscreen game that has crashed, leaving me with a black screen, with a moving mouse cursor
[19:13] <crazy6> join #kubuntu
[19:13] <Cynthia> Well MPX, you could try Alt+SysRQ+[R,E,I,S,U,B] to force restart
[19:13] <crazy6> whoops
[19:13] <ActionParsnip> Wizzup: whats webm ?
[19:13] <MPX> and ALT + TAB (CTRL + f1) does not work
[19:13] <sebsebseb> MPX: well in that case, I guess its time to use the computers power button, and switch it off like that
[19:13] <Wizzup> ActionParsnip: Google just opened VP8 video codec! :) http://www.webmproject.org/users/
[19:13] <jad> Hello, I'm not sure this is the right place to post this, but there's something unusual is happening, my fan keeps whirring for like 10 seconds every minute. Its weird cuz cpu usage is less than 10% and cpu temperature is pretty low (50C)
[19:13] <MPX> That was it Cynthia thanks :D But is there not a key combo exept for CTRL + ALT + f1 that will bring me to a terminal?
[19:13] <crazy6> OK, so, how do I mount an ecryptfs home folder from and older user account? I know the passphrase, and all
[19:13] <scuffed> does anyone in here know what to do with the Atheros Chip?
[19:13] <Cynthia> MPX: Ctrl+Alt+F1 should be the key combo bringing you to one
[19:13] <Soyo> mpx | ctrl+c?
[19:13] <ActionParsnip> Wizzup: no idea what that is but...er....cool
[19:14] <claude23> Ok. How can I extract a TAR file in windows?
[19:14] <sebsebseb> jad: try ##hardware
[19:14] <MPX> Cynthia: But if that does not work, but SYSREQ works...
[19:14] <ActionParsnip> claude23: winrar can do it
[19:14] <MPX> Is there not another one that can bring me into a safe shell?
[19:14] <ActionParsnip> !windows | claude23
[19:14] <Wizzup> ActionParsnip: It's a free codec that's better than h.264, and firefox has picked up support for it
[19:14] <SmartViking> jad i guess thats why ur cpu temperature is prettu low
[19:14] <mikeliss> Anybody know where errors from things started at boot go?
[19:14] <AndroUser> syslog
[19:14] <omfarka> hello, i installed kmplayer but i can't play any music and video files
[19:14] <theseb> anyone notice cron doesn't WORK in LATEST ubuntu version Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
[19:14] <ActionParsnip> Wizzup: i'm not familiar with codecs for video, its of very little interest to me
[19:14] <jad> ##hardware
[19:14] <omfarka> i'm using ubuntu 10.04
[19:14] <scuffed> how come i cannot install the jaunty-backports?
[19:14] <jad> sorry, it looked like an irc command
[19:14] <omfarka> what's the problem?
[19:15] <sebsebseb> jad: /join ##hardware  or just click the link depending on your client
[19:15] <ActionParsnip> scuffed: do you have the right repo enabled
[19:15] <jad> oh ...
[19:15] <jad> sorry, i feel so stupid
[19:15] <scuffed> exactly which repo would that be?
[19:15] <JesusMcCloud> hello i have lucid installed on my laptop (whixh has a synaptics multitouch touchpad) i know that hal got dropped... my touchpad is recognized as a logitech mouse, how can i fix this?
[19:15] <claude23> yes windows.. theni'll get this done
[19:15] <Agu10> how can I turn compiz off, so that when I turn it on, it uses the same configuration?
[19:15] <sebsebseb> jad: nevermind
[19:15] <Cynthia> MPX: I don't know of one. Maybe someone else does. (MPX wants to access a terminal from a frozen GUI (virtual terminal 7) and the other VTs are inaccessible. Perhaps a restart of X is in order... Ctrl+alt+Backspace?)
[19:15] <Agu10> I mean without changing the effects config and what effect is ON and OFF
[19:15] <sebsebseb> jad: people have done much more stupid things in here :D
[19:15] <scuffed> i added the deb ##### jaunty-backports main universe multiverse and restricted
[19:15] <Cynthia> but C+A+Backspace is disabled by default since Jaunty
[19:15] <jad> yeah i know
[19:15] <hmw> dejavou42: after disabling and rebooting, the bug was no longer, now reenabled and reimported my compiz settings, still no bug. Perhaps that did it.
[19:16] <MPX> CTRL + ALT + BACKSPACE...I thought that was disabled in the newer UBUNTU distros....how can I re-enable that key combo?
[19:16] <Loshki> theseb: I've never seen anyone else claim that cron is broken in 10.04...
[19:16] <abuayyoub> Cynthia, are you still here? I was wondering if you knew if it were possible to make my wubi install bigger? It seems like alot of hassle just to remove windows
[19:16] <sebsebseb> abuayyoub: uhmm
[19:16] <hmw> Cynthia: it's now alt-sysrq-k
[19:16] <sebsebseb> abuayyoub: Wubi needs to run inside Windows
[19:16] <MPX> hmw, will that restart x?
[19:16] <leonesardo> ciao
[19:16] <hmw> mpx right
[19:16] <leonesardo> !list
[19:16] <ActionParsnip> scuffed: check in software sources to make sure all is ok
[19:16] <sebsebseb> abuayyoub: so if you want to get rid of Windows, well there is some program that I have never used that will convert a Wubi install into a real partition.  or just use the Live CD and install with a real partition :)
[19:16] <MPX> hmw, that's the one I'm looking for, thanks :)
[19:16] <kraut> what's the best way to change the splash screen?
[19:16] <scuffed> which i the repo i need to add for that?
[19:17] <Cynthia> MPX: You'd have to be able to run 'sudo dontzap' or something. So you'll need to have a terminal first, and then you can C+A+Backspace for the next crashes
[19:17] <dejavou42> hmw: compiz is really kind of dirty although nice :) it's kind of like those sour patch kids commercials.....
[19:17] <omfarka> is there anybody? why i can play music and video  on kmplayer or amarok while i'm at ubuntu 10.04
[19:17] <scuffed> ive added all kinds of repos
[19:17] <sebsebseb> kraut: the log in screen you mean or?
[19:17] <jungli> how to add more disk space ?
[19:17] <Cynthia> abuayyoub: Do you have an external hard drive, or at least more storage than the hard drive you're working off of?
[19:17] <scuffed> i and new to ubuntu but not computer illiterate, i can fumble around in here just trying to get more use to it
[19:17] <Nilos> I need help getting a wireless driver to work.I have used ndisgtk to install the driver, and the device is seen in lsusb, but the device has not been configured.Where can I find the tools I need?
[19:17] <kraut> sebsebseb: no, the boot splash
[19:17] <Soyo> MPX: that SysRq allows you talk basically right to the kernel without going through anything else (i.e. a frozen gui)
[19:17] <ActionParsnip> MPX: Cynthia: its also a config item in the keyboard section in preferences
[19:18] <MPX> It should be an easy way to get into a safe terminal with root access if say X crashes and all Virtual Terminals were inaccessible
[19:18] <Sonderblade> for some reason the initrd images on my ubuntu system has disappeared, so the computer wont boot. what is the best way to repair the system?
[19:18] <Cynthia> abuayyoub: It's much easier to move files around if you can just copy what you want elsewhere, then wipe everything to reinstall just that.
[19:18] <hmw> dejavou42: if this really was it, that was the first time in 2 years, i had compiz do so weird things... i mean those white boxes didnt only look white, they were completely disabled, which makes me wonder a bit. I couldnt live without compiz, it is the only fast thing in Ubuntu :-)
[19:18] <MPX> Soyo, SysReq + K right?
[19:18] <Glacer> Hello, has anyone got Gdesklet to work on 10.04? mine took a update and now it will not start.
[19:18] <abuayyoub> sebsebseb, yes, I understand it needs windows. The problem is I only set my ubuntu partition ( wubi) to 18gb which is filled by now. The rest of the disk has windows file and storage. I would just like to make it bigger so I don't tun into space problems.
[19:18] <sebsebseb> scuffed: What are you trying to install?
[19:18] <scuffed> linux-backports-modules-wireless-karmic-generic
[19:18] <kraut> !splash
[19:18] <ActionParsnip> Glacer: launch it from terminal to get outputs, these should help diagnose
[19:18] <sebsebseb> abuayyoub: I don't think you can do that with Wubi
[19:18] <sebsebseb> abuayyoub: or not easilly anyway
[19:18] <Soyo> MPX: http://www.linuxhowtos.org/Tips%20and%20Tricks/sysrq.htm
[19:19] <MPX> Soyo, Thanks :)
[19:19] <abuayyoub> Cynthia, I don't mind booting from Wubi, problem is my / partition is too small, if I could just make it bigger i'm cool
[19:19] <Glacer> ActionParsnip, it doesnt connect in terminal
[19:19] <dejavou42> hmw: I know I love it too, and wouldn't do without it, but I usually make another user to run applications (i.e. games) that don't play well with compiz
[19:19] <sebsebseb> abuayyoub: also in the long run a proper partitioned install is better :)
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> Glacer: how do you mean connect?
[19:19] <Glacer> ActionParsnip, I think If I could find the older version it will make it work again
[19:19] <Kvik> Hey nogen der har prøvet og installer KDE desktop på ubuntu?
[19:19] <abuayyoub> sebsebseb, yea, I know I should have done it in the first place but... i was lazy lol
[19:19] <sebsebseb> !se | Kvik
[19:19] <omfarka>  is there anybody? why i can play music and video  on kmplayer or amarok while i'm at ubuntu 10.04
[19:19] <Cynthia> abuayyoub: I don't know how to do that. Maybe someone else will. (abuayyoub wants to enlarge a Wubi install file)
[19:19] <Sir_Konrad> dang it's hot.
[19:20] <omfarka> excuse me, i can't?
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> Glacer: desklets can be lauched from terminal, if you can work the command out you can launch it and the output will be given
[19:20] <leonesardo> !list
[19:20] <hmw> dejavou42: got it again... this time i have 2 power management icons, one with gray background and the context menu of the indicator applet...
[19:20] <haardz> Hello guy's! Anybody can help me?
[19:21] <sebsebseb> !ask | haardz
[19:21] <ActionParsnip> omfarka: have you installed the ubuntu-restricted-extras
[19:21] <haardz> Where can I find source  code linux rm command?
[19:21] <MPX> So let's say X crashed, and CTRL + ALT + F1 is not working
[19:21] <jrib> haardz: apt-get source coreutils
[19:21] <MPX> Will pressing Alt+SysRq+r , then CTRL + ALT + F1 work?
[19:21] <MPX> It says : "takes keyboard and mouse control from the X server. This can be useful if the X-Server crashed, you can change to a console and kill the X-Server or check the error log."
[19:21] <Glacer> ActionParsnip, here is what it does when I try to start it from shell to http://pastebin.com/qgn8xLtx
[19:22] <hmw> How can I find out, what "other user logged in" is preventing a shutdown? there is certainly no such user logged in
[19:22] <dejavou42> hmw: can you remove the extra indicator?
[19:22] <jiffe> how can I find out what configure options were used to build a package?
[19:22] <scuffed> how do i install the repo for linux-backports-modules-wireless-karmic-generic
[19:22] <hmw> dejavou42: no
[19:22] <DeadmanIncJS> could somebody direct me to where i can talk to somebody about MP3 players that DON'T need a windows program to add/delete songs
[19:22] <haardz> jrib, Thanks man!
[19:22] <omfarka> ActionParnsnip: no , i'm installing now
[19:22] <Cynthia> MPX: It might work, try it. To restart X you'd then type 'restart gdm' (or kdm if you're using KDE) in virtual terminal 1
[19:22] <DeadmanIncJS> i have a Zune now, but being on Linux... im too lazy to mess with VirtualBox or Wine
[19:22] <Loshki> !kde
[19:22] <Cynthia> no wait. sudo restart gdm
[19:22] <bodom> "start mysql" command hangs, how can I debug & solve this issue?
[19:22] <MPX> Thanks Cynthia :) :)
[19:22] <dejavou42> hmw: wait a minute.... did you say that this is only happening on the "notification area" applet?
[19:23] <CrazyTux> Hey guys I upgraded both of my desktops to Lucid..... and it has all gone to crap (Xorg is eating 100% of cpu on both)... video response seems slow, etc -- any thoughts on what may be going on?
[19:23] <ActionParsnip> Glacer: cool, ok now use that output to find bugs and / or fixes
[19:23] <sebsebseb> CrazyTux: sounds like a good idea to do a clean install
[19:23] <ActionParsnip> CrazyTux: reinstall video driver
[19:23] <sealive> hi i am on karmic and went in big trouble
[19:23] <DeadmanIncJS> CrazyTux don't feel bad.  ever since i upgraded to 10.04 ive had problems too
[19:23] <scuffed> Umm HELLO?
[19:23] <sealive> i lost python 2.5
[19:24] <sealive> lucid does not user python
[19:24] <sealive> 2.5
[19:24] <MPX> Now Cynthia ... Is there a way I can myself, provoke a crash in X so I can test it?
[19:24] <hmw> dejavou42: no, its mainlyhappening with that thing. other applets, too.. i gtg for an hour now, perhaps we meet later
[19:24] <Glacer> ActionParsnip, I was reading and most has this problem and they say versions 0.36.1-3 will work and new one will not
[19:24] <ActionParsnip> Glacer: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdesklets/+bug/89585
[19:24] <sealive> can i dpkg the python inti the system from livecd?
[19:25] <Cynthia> CrazyTux: Xorg means that this is probbaly a graphics problem. And it may be a bug on xorg, or would be worth reporting with 'ubuntu-bug xorg-server-xcore'
[19:25] <scuffed> deb http://archive.ubuntu.com karmic-backports main is what i add to the sources list right? for teh repo?
[19:25] <seismicmike> For compatibility reasons (with Drupal 5 and Drupal 6) I need to downgrade the version of php that was installed by default with 10.04. I need to downgrade from 5.3 to 5.2.11. I tried sudo aptitude reinstall php=5.2.11 and it didn't like that
[19:25] <dejavou42> hmw: ok, sorry I couldn't help more.
[19:25] <Cynthia> MPX: I don't know - again someone else might. I'll try Google though
[19:25] <scuffed> for linux-backports-modules-wireless-karmic-generic
[19:25] <MPX> Thanks Cynthia :)
[19:25] <ActionParsnip> Glacer: try: mv ~/.gdesklets ~/.gdesklets_old    then retrying
[19:25] <abuayyoub> Cynthia, Ok, I got it this is much easier that we had hoped. Seems that Wubi has it's own script to migrate to a new partition. Coolness.
[19:26] <seismicmike> Do I need a backport repo or something?
[19:26] <abuayyoub> Cynthia, thank you for your help :)
[19:26] <Pici> scuffed: That is in the universe repositories in karmic
[19:26] <Cynthia> abuayyoub: Ah, didn't know about that. You're welcome
[19:26] <alastair_> Hi, I've got a wee problem, every window I open has got a black border around it, since this has happened everything has slowed down to a very annoying speed on the computer... is this a virus?
[19:26] <Cynthia> http://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+simulate+an+xorg+crash+ubuntu
[19:26] <scuffed> this is the erro ri get when i download the deb file for it
[19:26] <scuffed> Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: linux-backports-modules-2.6.31-20-generic
[19:26] <Cynthia> me @ MPX ^
[19:26] <ActionParsnip> Glacer: if its ok then you can delete the folder, othrwise rename it back
[19:26] <Cynthia> It doesn't seem to return any meaningful results, sorry.
[19:26] <Appl6> sealive: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=python+2.5&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all  You can install one of them with dpkg.
[19:26] <Steve1949> 5EXAAUHEI hu
[19:27] <[diecast]> is ubuntu removing '/etc/init.d/script' - in future/current releases?
[19:27] <sveinerik_> Can someone give me a short run-through on the differences between Mint and Ubuntu? I've tried both and enjoyed both first impressions. I'm trying to check out which one I should try to migrate from windows to. Would be appreciative if I could get a PM, so i don't overlook anything =)
[19:27] <CrazyTux> Cynthia: let me take a look
[19:27] <Pici> scuffed: You need to have the karmic-security and/or karmic-updates repositories enabled.
[19:27] <sealive> Appl6:  no on a running system it does not work depencies
[19:28] <Appl6> alastair_: Try System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Visual Effects and set it to None
[19:28] <Appl6> sealive: If you got an error, pastebin it please.
[19:28] <scuffed> Pici: how do i do that?
[19:28] <alastair_> thankyou thankyou thankyou!
[19:29] <Cynthia> scuffed: System / Administration / Software Sources
[19:29] <Pici> Cynthia: Darn, I'm too slow today.  Thanks :)
[19:29] <scuffed> n/m
[19:29] <Cynthia> Pici: :P
[19:29] <Appl6> MPX: Cynthia: Would killing X not reproduce whatever it is you're looking for?
[19:29] <sunshinepants> has anyone got a workaround for weirdness that occurs when resizing virtualbox guest windows  in compiz?  the bounding box stays on on desktops and the guest window doesn't resize
[19:29] <Cynthia> Appl6: killing X would restart it; MPX wants to freeze it
[19:29] <sebsebseb> sveinerik_: see pm
[19:30] <Cynthia> to simulate freezing after his/her game ends
[19:30] <sunshinepants> freakin annoying
[19:30] <Appl6> MPX: Cynthia: Like kill -STOP?
[19:30] <[diecast]> does 'service' use /etc/init.d or an internal db?
[19:30] <MPX> Sysreq is print screen right?
[19:30] <Cynthia> perhaps, if kill -STOP freezes keyboard/mouse input... try that, MPX ^
[19:30] <Cynthia> Yes
[19:30] <ActionParsnip> sunshinepants: i'd ask in #vbox   they may know a cure
[19:30] <ActionParsnip> Glacer: any better?
[19:31] <MPX> ok brb
[19:31] <Cynthia> [diecast]: It uses a mixture of init.d and the new /etc/init Upstart scripts
[19:31] <[diecast]> ah, upstart, thats what i was looking for
[19:31] <Aazoris> ok I am having issues with the "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" it saying that it isnt recognized
[19:32] <Appl6> Aazoris: If you're trying to install ubuntu-desktop, it sounds like you have other issues with your installation =).
[19:32] <guest1606> hi people erm...i am newb and running 9.10 (yeah i know i'll probably upgrade some time later) in live mode and decided to install it over XP on the C partition
[19:32] <guest1606> but i also have another one with lots of files that i want to keep...so i went to manual partitioning and dont really know what partitions to create and what sizes..
[19:32] <MPX> That did not do jack :)
[19:32] <guest1606> i politely ask for help,guidance or link. Thanks.
[19:32] <ThinkingInBits> Does anyone know why, by default, when I upload files to my server they are set to such low permissions? (-rw------- )
[19:32] <Aazoris> What you mean by other issues
[19:32] <MPX> Kill does not recognize the command Cynthia
[19:32] <Cynthia> Aazoris: I agree with Appl6. But try to regenerate the package list with 'sudo apt-get update'. Maybe ubuntu-desktop will reappear and you can then install it.
[19:33] <Roasted> Does Network Manager have an option somewhere to refresh the network list like WICD and Windows do? It's VERY handy to hit refresh and see all updated networks in the area.
[19:33] <Cynthia> MPX: killall -STOP Xorg
[19:33] <ActionParsnip> Aazoris: why are you installing it, its default in the desktop installation
[19:33] <blathat> I have this usb stick that does not auto mount like a good memory stick should, and I cant mount it manually following googled instructions.  Can anyone lend me a hand?
[19:33] <Cynthia> (MPX) I wonder what that command did, now...
[19:33] <claude23> Sure
[19:33] <ActionParsnip> blathat: what filesystem does it use?
[19:34] <Glacer> ActionParsnip, yeah thanks, reading on it and trying it out
[19:34] <Appl6> Cynthia: It forcibly "pauses" the process.  kill -CONT resumes it.
[19:34] <blathat> fat32
[19:34] <ActionParsnip> Glacer: coolio
[19:34] <Aazoris> command not found is what im getting
[19:34] <jduggan> hey guys, can you make rsyslog log the facility from which the calling appliction is attempting to log to?
[19:34] <Cynthia> Appl6: That wouldn't explain why MPX quit right after entering the STOP command, since XChat should have been unaffected
[19:34] <ActionParsnip> blathat: hmm, does: dmesg | tail -n 15    show any activity relating to the device?
[19:35] <johannes2>                                            │ [diablo]
[19:35] <johannes2> 20:34:39       Aazoris | command not found is what im getting                                       │ [fade]
[19:36] <Appl6> Cynthia: I'm not sure how an application reliant upon X would be unaffected by X stopping completely.
[19:36] <claude23> ok so I exctracted the persistant, and now what do I do?
[19:37] <alexs> Is there a way to install ubuntu to a new drive from an existing linux or windows install?
[19:37] <VirusTB> how do i delet a directory in terminal
[19:37] <MPX> Well
[19:37] <alexs> VirusTB: man rm
[19:37] <ActionParsnip> VirusTB: rm -r /path/to/folder
[19:37] <blathat> I don't know if what dmesg | tail -n 15 returned is 'activity', what is it
[19:37] <MPX> I killed Xorg, did syreq R, tried ctrl + alt + f1...nothing worked
[19:37] <Cynthia> VirusTB: 'rm -r DIRNAME' - this deletes contents recursively
[19:38] <MPX> Syreq K worked though...
[19:38] <MPX> But where to go from there?
[19:38] <ActionParsnip> blathat: if you use a pastebin  we can see the output
[19:38] <uxbridge> Alexs:google WUBI
[19:38] <VirusTB> ActionParsnip, Cynthia alexs  thanks! :D
[19:38] <MPX> Syreq K corrupted my whole screen and I could hear the sound output dissapearing through a Pop
[19:38] <VirusTB> ActionParsnip, Cynthia alexs  .. i can just add "sudo" infront to get full permission right?
[19:38] <ActionParsnip> VirusTB: if the folder is not your users then sudo will be needed
[19:38] <Nilos> need help configuring my wireless connection
[19:39] <MPX> But typing anything into blindness (sudo restart gdm, following password, sudo restart, etc. did not work)
[19:39] <Vigo> alexs: You mean like move a hda/sda to another Physical Drive?
[19:39] <Cynthia> MPX: If you can then access virtual terminal 1 with Ctrl+Alt+F1, log into it and issue 'sudo restart gdm && sudo restart pulseaudio' - you might have a lot of services stopped, actually
[19:39] <Appl6> MPX: What do you mean "nothing worked"?  And why are you trashing your system with Sysrq?
[19:39] <ActionParsnip> Nilos: what is the output of: sudo lshw -C network | grep product
[19:39] <zorzar> hey i just tried to upgrade a server from 8.04 to 10.04, now i can't connect to it via ssh, it hung on "Updating fontconfig cache for /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-bitstream-vera" after removing unneeded packages and than the server reset the connection
[19:39] <VirusTB> ActionParsnip,  is there a way to  like unlock the permissions?? .. so then i can just use GUI (right click send to trash) folders?
[19:39] <Cynthia> MPX: Oh... blindness? :| You mean you still can't see a terminal?
[19:39] <MPX> Cynthia, Exactly
[19:40] <ActionParsnip> VirusTB: you can chown them to your user first but its unnecesary as you can just do it in one shot using terminal
[19:40] <Nilos> Action:product: VT6102 [Rhine-II]
[19:40] <Cynthia> MPX: You'll probably have to reboot the computer then, if no one else knows how to recover from a frozen X
[19:40] <An_Ony_Moose> how do I use the output of xsetwacom list?
[19:40] <blathat> http://pastebin.com/Fttxpntg
[19:40] <MPX> Cynthia : I hate a hard reboot :S
[19:40] <An_Ony_Moose> m00se, you stole my species!  Is the wireless device some usb thing?
[19:41] <VirusTB> ActionParsnip,  i suck at terminal :P  ok this bring me to my next question if i may ask
[19:41] <Nilos> Action:yes it is.
[19:41] <Pici> !de | zorzar
[19:41] <ActionParsnip> VirusTB: ask away
[19:41] <Cynthia> An_Ony_Moose: 'use' the output, how?
[19:41] <Appl6> MPX: killall -CONT Xorg
[19:41] <Soyo> MPX: you can't do a RESIU or whatever
[19:41] <ActionParsnip> Nilos: after you type action, press tab to complete my nick ;)
[19:41] <VirusTB> How do i get to automatically mount a partition as soon as i logon
[19:41] <MPX> Appl6, Xorg frozen, No virtual terminals work'
[19:41] <MPX> That's right Soyo
[19:41] <shane2peru_> does anyone use Epiphany web browser?  I like the speed, I don't like the lack of ad-block, and having to clear the url bar everytime I want to open a web page, any ideas?
[19:41] <Soyo> :(
[19:41] <omfarka> ActionParsnip: same again, no play
[19:41] <Cynthia> Pici: zorzar asked the question in English initially
[19:41] <ActionParsnip> Nilos: when you insert it, run: dmesg | tail     see if the system reacted to the insertion
[19:42] <Aazoris> Thanks for the help bbl gotta head to work. Bye.
[19:42] <MPX> Xorg crashes on me from time to time, running wine games
[19:42] <An_Ony_Moose> Cynthia, whenever I try to use xsetwacom get (device) all, it tells me it cannot find the device, no matter what I use as a name for the device
[19:42] <omfarka> is there any extra that i have to install
[19:42] <MPX> And no, not running as root
[19:42] <claude23> Ok. I have the Persistant folder.. What do i do Next?
[19:42] <ActionParsnip> blathat: VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev sdc     sounds like the data is a bit screwy. Have you been saftely removing this from systems or just ripping it out?
[19:42] <VirusTB> How do i get to automatically mount a partition as soon as i logon ActionParsnip
[19:42] <MPX> Cynthia, another question, Let
[19:42] <Nilos> ActionParsnip: it sees thw lan connection
[19:42] <crazy6> any ecryptfs gurus here? need to mount an old encrypted home directory (ubuntu style)
[19:42] <ActionParsnip> !fstab | VirusTB
[19:43] <blathat> ripping it out
[19:43] <Soyo> do you have sudo permissions
[19:43] <NinoScript> Hello! I was wondering… is there a centrilized way to change keybindings for every app?
[19:43] <alexs> uxbridge: wubi installs to a loopback file on NTFS
[19:43] <hey_joe> i have a small Nokia 1U IP330 running 9.04, and for some reason, I cannot get the network cards running until after running >> $modprobe -r e100; $modprobe e100 eeprom_bad_csum_allow=1
[19:43] <ActionParsnip> blathat: thats why, there is a reason the safe removal is used. You have garbaged your FAT by abusing the device
[19:43] <alexs> uxbridge: i want to install to a new drive which i then move to a 2nd PC
[19:43] <bnc87> hi :)
[19:43] <Nilos> ActionParsnip:it sees my wlan connection as well the wlan network
[19:43] <alexs> my current idea is to use virtualbox
[19:43] <MPX> Cynthia, another question, Let's say I use backintime to take backup of the entire filesystem on a HDD. How can I restore the backup if Ubuntu decides to totally crash for me and is only accessible through a LIVE cd. And another one....Is there an easier way to take backup of the entire System?
[19:43] <Cynthia> 14:41:32  VirusTB How do i get to automatically mount a partition as soon as i logon <-- If I take your question at face value, you want to add an item to Startup Applications (in System / Preferences) to run the 'mount' utility. But as ActionParsnip said, !fstab
[19:43] <blathat> is the stick garbage?
[19:43] <blathat> at this point
[19:43] <ActionParsnip> Nilos: so if you run: sudo iwlist scan    it shows SSIDs?
[19:44] <Cynthia> hm, let's try something
[19:44] <Cynthia> !backup | MPX
[19:44] <hey_joe> where can i stick those lines so it works after boot?  i tried /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf ... added alias eth0 e100; options e100 eeprom_bad_csum_allow=1 >> but that didn't work.
[19:44] <Cynthia> didn't know if ubottu had a factoid for !backup ^_^
[19:44] <Nilos> ActionParsnip, :yes it shows SSIDs for all my connections(including the wireless)
[19:45] <VirusTB> Cynthia,  :S i dont want to mess with that fstab file,  looks confusing, let me read up on it///
[19:45] <Vigo> Cynthia: Are you making a USB/Flash drive Full Install?
[19:45] <VirusTB> Cynthia, the system>preferences> start up sounds easier
[19:45] <Cynthia> VirusTB: Enter 'man fstab' in a command line.
[19:45] <diffrant> how do i whether the graphics card i plan to buy will work in ubuntu or not?
[19:45] <Cynthia> Ah ok :)
[19:45] <diffrant> this one http://www.nvidia.com/object/product_geforce_9800gt_us.html
[19:45] <claude23> I have the USB persistant file... what do I do next?
[19:45] <ActionParsnip> Nilos: great then the hard bit is done, if you use network manager in the indicator applet (near the time) you can connect to wlans
[19:46] <ActionParsnip> !hcl | diffrant
[19:46] <VirusTB> Cynthia, reading about fstab on tuxfiles,org
[19:46] <danand> MPX: Clonezilla is pretty good
[19:46] <Cynthia> diffrant: it -should- work, with the NVidia binary driver (System / Administration / Hardware Drivers once you're in Ubuntu)
[19:46] <Nilos> ActionParsnip, I replaced network manager with wicd
[19:46] <ActionParsnip> diffrant: if you buy nvidia it will be very supported
[19:46] <ActionParsnip> Nilos: thats great too, i prefer wicd too
[19:46] <Cynthia> Vigo: I'm not making an USB full install
[19:46] <claude23> Anyone
[19:46] <diffrant> ah good news :) i can use some of that
[19:46] <ActionParsnip> Nilos: if your wireless interface is not wlan0 then you will need to tell wicd to use the different name
[19:46] <blathat> is this memory stick salvagable or have i ruined it?
[19:47] <MPX> Clonezilla sounds nice :)
[19:47] <Nilos> ActionParsnip, :it is wlan0
[19:47] <claude23> forget it
[19:47] <ActionParsnip> blathat: i'd stick it in a windows system to see if it is read and scandisk it
[19:47] <Nilos> ActionParsnip, but it says "no wireless networks found"
[19:47] <ActionParsnip> Nilos: cool, ok and is wicd configured to look at wlan0
[19:47] <Cynthia> blathat: Can you summarise the details of your problem? What filesystem was on the stick: FAT, NTFS? What's the extent of the data loss?
[19:47] <claude23> Does anyone know?
[19:48] <ActionParsnip> claude23: wassup
[19:48] <Vigo> Cynthia: My apologies, it was claude23 asking I think....
[19:48] <Nilos> ActionParsnip, how would I do that?
[19:48] <Cynthia> Vigo: Ah, no problem :)
[19:48] <blathat> it was FAT, i don't know what the data loss' extent was; I don't need any of the data, I want to format the memory stick
[19:48] <claude23> I need help with a USB persistant file
[19:49] <Cynthia> blathat: Do you know what the device name for your USB stick is? (/dev/sda, sdb, sdc, etc.)
[19:49] <ActionParsnip> claude23: ok, care to expand on that, you havent give ANY details which is why nobody helped you
[19:49] <blathat> yes /dev/sdc
[19:49] <wildc4rd> afternoon all
[19:49] <ActionParsnip> Nilos: left click wicd in the indicator applet -> preferences button at the top
[19:49] <mariya> in main menu under menu item "wine" I have two menu entreis "programms" how can I combine them?
[19:50] <Cynthia> blathat: You'll probably want to run 'mkfs -t fat /dev/sdc' to format the stick, then
[19:50] <ActionParsnip> blathat: i suggest you fsck sdc to see if the systm can be fixed, your neglect has damaged the system, both windows and ubuntu have the option to safetly remove hardware like usb stick to make them not corrupt and you have waived this and dug your own grave
[19:50] <Cynthia> blathat: (+) Or right-click the stick on your Desktop and select 'Format...'
[19:50] <claude23> OK so, I want to put Ubuntu on my USB. I have a Virtual machine running it now, but I can't save anything... I was told to get the USB persistant file, and I expanded it, but I don't know what to do now
[19:50] <GeekSquid> mariya: we don't support WINE .. ask in #winehq
[19:51] <Ernz> Hi, I have a bit of a problem with my Ubuntu log in. Every time I enter the password the screen goes black and then it re-displays the login screen. It never lets me log it. My password is being entered correctly, it still tells me when it's not. Can someone please help?
[19:51] <mariya> GeekSquid, who we?
[19:51] <ActionParsnip> claude23: i've found this if you have a windows systemhandy: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/casper-rw-creator-make-a-persistent-file-from-windows/
[19:51] <nhak> hi all, why do i get the error "cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" when i try to excute a program as root, as normal user i can excute it though ...
[19:51] <claude23> I got a windows
[19:52] <GeekSquid> mariya: this is ubuntu support, not windows, not wine, there is an apporpriate place to ask... thats #winehq
[19:52] <ActionParsnip> claude23: this is more linux based: http://linuxpendrive.co.cc/archives/37
[19:52] <MPX> Ernz, log into gnome terminal and check to see if your home dir is still there /ome/Yourusernameinhere
[19:52] <MPX> *home
[19:52] <blathat> the stick does not show up on my desktop
[19:52] <mariya> GeekSquid, have you actually read my question?
[19:52] <donavan01> anyone know if lightscribe works with ubuntu ?
[19:52] <Appl6> Ernz: You can press Ctrl-Alt-F1 to get access to a virtual terminal.
[19:53] <blathat> i could do without the punitive advice, although I am very appreciate for the rest
[19:53] <Nilos> ActionParsnip, ok I see the preferences screen with "wireless intereface".I have entered "wlan0" in the textbox and wicd stilll doesnt see any wireless networks .Did I miss something?
[19:53] <ActionParsnip> blathat: it will show up in nautilus' places menu when it was healthy
[19:53] <mariya> GeekSquid, I am talking there about gnome main menu!
[19:53] <Cynthia> blathat: You'll probably have to run the command I gave then: 'mkfs -t fat /dev/sdc' (no quotes) in the Terminal
[19:53] <Ernz> MPX, Appl6: Will try that just now.
[19:53] <glphvgacs> how big /tmp needs to be? also does it matter where it sits on the device?
[19:53] <MPX> mariya, right click on the gnome menu, select edit menu's and scroll down until you find Wine
[19:54] <Cynthia> glphvgacs: /tmp/ needs to be at least as large as the largest file you'll need to store in it. If you do DVD authoring, that means it'll need to be at least 9.5 GB. It doesn't matter where it is.
[19:54] <GeekSquid> mariya: you are talking about the wine main menu within the gnome main menu... Now the gnome main menu can be edited by going to System>Preferences>MainMenu
[19:54] <ActionParsnip> blathat: you could use testdisk to write a fat to the device, you may have to restore the data from backup. If you dont have a backup then you can use foremost to recover some of the data (if possible0
[19:54] <nhak> hi all, why do i get the error "cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" when i try to excute a program as root, as normal user i can excute it though ...
[19:54] <ActionParsnip> Nilos: is the OS fully updated?
[19:54] <rocket16> Friends, my "Current Song" Exaile Plugin doesn't work, :( What to do? Also, how to make Visualizations in Exaile?
[19:55] <SmartViking> Hi is there some way i can completely restore my asus bios thingy to factory default?
[19:55] <ActionParsnip> SmartViking: that isnt supported here, this is ubuntu support
[19:55] <SmartViking> But i need help :(
[19:55] <Cynthia> SmartViking: Consult ASUS support
[19:56] <Nilos> ActionParsnip, I have not switched to lucid yet.should I?
[19:56] <Cynthia> Our advice would be incomplete at best and could ruin your system.
[19:56] <ActionParsnip> Nilos: try the liveCD first to see if its nicer
[19:57] <SmartViking> Cynthia: Asus support is terrible :(
[19:57] <blathat> for 'mkfs' command returned 'mkfs.fat no such file or directory'
[19:57] <Nilos> ok brb
[19:57] <mikepq2008> Hello everybody, I don't have Ubuntu right now, but I was wondering how I'd go about getting it?
[19:57] <Slart> mikepq2008: download it from ubuntu.com
[19:57] <mariya> MPX, better tell me where can I find a corresponding file for such a menu entry...
[19:57] <ActionParsnip> blathat: mkfs will format the usb stick for you
[19:57] <Cynthia> SmartViking: #ubuntu still stands by what I said - we don't support motherboards, their manufacturers do, and any advice we could give could ruin your system and your motherboard's warranty, for having performed unsupported operations yourself
[19:57] <Ernz> MPX, Appl6: I can see /home/ernz but when I try and see what's in it I just see a README.txt and an Access-Your-Private-Desktop.desktop directory. Any ideas?
[19:57] <Appl6> blathat: Make sure you run it with "sudo".
[19:57] <Slart> mikepq2008: or one of the many many mirrors.. (there's a list on ubuntu.com as well)
[19:57] <Vigo> SmartViking: Look at computerhope.com or get nasty with it.
[19:58] <mikepq2008> I already downloaded it, I mean how do I install it
[19:58] <Ernz> MPX, Appl6: not directory, file.
[19:58] <Slart> mikepq2008: you've downloaded an iso, right?
[19:58] <mariya> MPX, I believe it's somewhere in /usr/share/...
[19:58] <mikepq2008> yes
[19:58] <Slart> mikepq2008: burn it to a cd then reboot the computer with that cd in the drive.. that should do it
[19:58] <blathat> will sudo still no such file or directory mkfs.fat
[19:58] <Slart> !burniso | mikepq2008
[19:59] <thedude42> anyone have issues with virtualbox after dist-upgrade with errors about AMD-V being used by something else (KVM module is NOT loaded)
[19:59] <MPX> /usr/share/applications mariya ?
[19:59] <Appl6> Ernz: It sounds like you have an encrypted home directory.  Is that true?
[19:59] <Ernz> Appl6: True.
[19:59] <Leftmost> On Lucid, I've done `update-rc.d -f gdm remove'. It says that it's removed it from all of the /etc/rc?.d directories, but gdm still starts on boot. Why?
[20:00] <Appl6> Ernz: I have no experience with encrypted partitions.  Maybe the README has something useful to say?
[20:00] <hey_joe> can anyone tell me why my /etc/modprobe.d/options.conf is not being read?
[20:00] <blathat> err using sudo i still get the no such file directory response
[20:00] <mariya> MPX, probably, yes ,thank you
[20:00] <thedude42> Leftmost, did you check the /etc/init/gdm.conf ?
[20:00] <hey_joe> i have an option in there >> option e100 eeprom_bad_csum_allow=1 for my nic cards...
[20:00] <Ernz> MPX, Appl6: If I use virtual terminal (CTRL+ALT+F1) at the login then I can see my home directory and everything in it.
[20:01] <dasc> Hi,  I'm on Ubuntu 10.04 and I did a "gksu nautilus" to delete some very huge log files (4.3GB), but somehow the system didn't free up that 4.3GB of space!
[20:01] <MPX> mariya, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=552177
[20:01] <dasc> can anyone help?
[20:01] <GeekSquid> dasc: look in /root/.trash
[20:02] <Leftmost> thedude42, no... though how am I supposed to get services to not start on boot, if update-rc.d doesn't work?
[20:02] <dan> Hello ppl
[20:02] <thedude42> LedHed, update-rc.d is for /etc/init.d/ scripts, but a bunch of things (including gdm) were converted to upstrart jobs, which is configured in /etc/init/
[20:03] <Ernz> Appl6: Thanks for your help, I'm just going to do a clean install of Ubuntu. It's well overdue. Thanks again.
[20:03] <markl> is anyone here able to view this: http://www.thedailyshow.com/full-episodes/wed-may-12-2010-michael-patrick-king
  update-rc.d is for /etc/init.d/ scripts, but a bunch of things (including gdm) were converted to upstrart jobs, which is configured in /etc/init/
[20:04] <ActionParsnip> dasc: did you empty your trash. If you used gksudo nautilus it will be in /root/.local/share/Trash
[20:04] <neo> hi
[20:04] <dan> hello neo
[20:04] <dasc> GeekSquid: just trying to locate the /Trash folder now but doesn't seem to be in /root/ will now try .local/share
[20:04] <euthymos> hi is there any way I can setup for automatically connect at startup a VPN PPTP connection?
[20:05] <GeekSquid> dasc: did you go to View>show hidden files
[20:05] <dasc> YAY it's in /root/.local/share/Trash
[20:05] <dasc> :D
[20:05] <ActionParsnip> euthymos: could add a script in startup items nder preferences
[20:05] <dan> Eveyone should use some form of Linux
[20:05] <dasc> thanks guys :D
[20:05] <alexs> does anyone know how i can install ubuntu to a new hard drive from within window or ubuntu?
[20:05] <ActionParsnip> dasc: use shift + del if you want to REALLY delete it, be careful with it though
[20:05] <tado> hey guys. with lucid i have a quite fast boot, but while booting the screen is black with a black cursor up left, in two different styles. then i get to the ubuntu splash that stays only for a couple of secs and opens the login page, does anyone know if it's something i can intervene on?
[20:05] <euthymos> ActionParsnip: cool. Do you have any advice on how to write this script
[20:05] <euthymos> ActionParsnip: or where can I get some info?
[20:05] <dan> vmwareplayer
[20:06] <nhak> hi all, why do i get the error "shared library not found" when i execute a program as root (using sudo), while there are no prob when i execute it as normal user ...
[20:06] <ActionParsnip> euthymos: not sure, you'll have to dig around, it the connection autoconnects when you launch an app from the menu then add that in the items
[20:06] <ActionParsnip> nhak: what app is it?
[20:06] <NinoScript> alexs, what do you mean?
[20:07] <Cynthia> nhak: Which shared library is not found? I see a lot of results on Google for your error, and each is for a different program
[20:07] <nhak> it's my own program
[20:07] <GeekSquid> !gksudo | nhak
[20:07] <ActionParsnip> nhak: if its an x based app use gksudo
[20:07] <alexs> NinoScript: I have a windows/ubuntu box, i have a new HD. I would like to install ubuntu on that new HD.
[20:07] <Dark_Wolf> My laptop boots into X fine, but if I log off, X won't start correctly. The login screen is blank, and once I'm logged in, the screen just flickers a bunch of black and white lines every few seconds. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? I'm on Lucid.
[20:07] <alexs> I do not have any USB keys or CD-Rs
[20:07] <nhak> no it's no graphic app ...
[20:08] <ActionParsnip> nhak: cool, i'd check $PATH for root and $USER to make sure all is well
[20:08] <kernix> how would i install adobe from term please ?
[20:08] <dan> release the jump drive
[20:08] <ActionParsnip> kernix: adobe what? adobe isnt a program
[20:08] <Cynthia> kernix: Adobe is a company. What software do you want to install?
[20:08] <mike233yo718> hello
[20:08] <euthymos> it's so annoying there is not a simple "connect at boot" :(
[20:08] <Cynthia> Acrobat, Flash, or something else.
[20:08] <NinoScript> alexs, Just put the install CD, and in the step where it asks about partitions, there should be an option, I think
[20:08] <euthymos> why is everything so difficult and time consuming?
[20:08] <mike233yo718> can please anyone help me with managing services in ubuntu 10.04?
[20:08] <euthymos> thank you however
[20:08] <nhak> I have also changed the .bashrc in /root/ in include the paths of the libraries but it still does not work ...
[20:08] <alexs> NinoScript: I dont have any CDs
[20:08] <kernix> adobe flash player
[20:08] <alexs> i just have a drive image
[20:09] <ActionParsnip> euthymos: submit the idea on http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com
[20:09] <Cynthia> kernix: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
[20:09] <euthymos> ActionParsnip: good idea
[20:09] <ActionParsnip> kernix: what is the output of: uname -a
[20:09] <remoteCTRL1> !dvd
[20:09] <NinoScript> alexs, Ohh, you installed Ubuntu through Wubi?
[20:09] <alexs> NinoScript: yes
[20:09] <nhak> ActionParsnip, i have also changed the .bashrc in /root/ to include the paths of the libraries but it still does not work ...
[20:09] <alexs> i want a fresh install on a new HD
[20:09] <alexs> but i cant use any external media
[20:10] <NinoScript> alexs, well, I think you should burn that image
[20:10] <alexs> NinoScript: I cant!
[20:10] <NinoScript> alexs, why? :O
[20:10] <ActionParsnip> nhak: you will have to analyse what you r app uses and stuff then compare those requisites in your users config then check out roots
[20:10] <alexs> no CDs!
[20:10] <Appl6> nhak: If you know the libraries you need, check their permissions and owners.  They should be world readable and world executable.
[20:10] <Glacer> whats another good software like gdesklet I can't get gdesklet to work on 10.04
[20:10] <alexs> going to try using vmware player
[20:11] <mike233yo718> can anyone tell me how do i manage services in ubuntu 10.04?
[20:11] <Cynthia> nhak: Oh, that's your problem then. Sudo doesn't really start making you 'root'; thus, /root/.bashrc is not read. You need to either BE root, or edit your own user's .bashrc file to include that in your path
[20:11] <hmw> when I shutdown, i get asked for the password, because another user would be logged in, which is not the case. How can I track down this problem?
[20:11] <euthymos> everyone should vote for this: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/10025/
[20:11] <ActionParsnip> nice gratitude from kernix eh :( I hate people like that
[20:11] <euthymos> it's just common sense
[20:12] <NinoScript> alexs, ohh :P Well, there is a way to move your wubi virtual partition to a real one… let me search it for you
[20:12] <alexs> LVPM
[20:12] <Leftmost> Hmm. Thanks, thedude42. I take it there's no CLI tool for it? Just have to mess with /etc/init?
[20:12] <nhak> Cynthia, those libraries are also included in my .bashrc file, as i said before, it works with the normal user
[20:12] <alexs> i will resort to that if vmware doesnt work :)
[20:12] <ActionParsnip> euthymos: voted. I dont use vpn but it makes sense
[20:12] <euthymos> thank you
[20:12] <alexs> i would have thought Wubi could do it alone
[20:12] <alexs> since the LiveCD can
[20:12] <nhak> AcntionParsnip, i just wonder, what is the paths that it will look for when i execute the app with sudo ?
[20:13] <Cynthia> nhak: Ah, my idea of your problem was that 'root' couldn't run the program and your own user will :(
[20:13] <Ernz> Im trying to use a Lucid live cd, after the first splash the screen goes all garbled and cropped. It boots into the desktop but it's still all garbled. How do I run the live cd in low graphics mode?
[20:13] <alexs> Ernz: there is a safe mode option no?
[20:13] <bodom> Hi folds. MySQL doesn't start. Can anybody help me?
[20:14] <lonejack> I saw that on synaptic it's possible to find chromium... what's the difference from google chrome and chromium?
[20:14] <Cynthia> ernz: safe graphics mode - Press a key when the "Keyboard = Human" screen appears, and then press F6
[20:14] <bodom> *folks :p
[20:14] <yariv> Ernz: What kind of hardware are you trying to run it on?
[20:14] <iceroot> bodom: the error message can help you and us
[20:14] <nhak> Cynthia, yeah, i can run the app with my own user, but with root it does not work
[20:14] <thedude42> Leftmost, no CLI that I have seen, but I'm sure something is in the works.... you can comment out the stanza that says 'start on' to prevent one of the services from starting automatically
[20:14] <bodom> iceroot: I have no error messages. start mysql just hangs infinitely
[20:14] <iceroot> bodom: also the log and starting mysql in verbose/debug mode
[20:14] <Leftmost> Ahh. That's simpler than I was going to do it, heh. Thank you.
[20:15] <iceroot> bodom: type "mysql --help" to see the parameter for debug/verbose  and use it, normaly mysql -v
[20:15] <bodom> iceroot: manually starting mysql with sudo -u mysql mysql -d works instead
[20:15] <Guest86627> Hey is there a way to kill the gui when you boot up ubuntu? Like the desktop
[20:15] <NinoScript> alexs, I think wubi is for installing ubuntu inside windows as a virtual file, so it's normal that it doesn't have an option for a full install outside windows
[20:15] <Ernz> All: I am trying to run it on Nvidia chipset. No problem with many other ubuntu live CD's. I press F6 at the menu and I see acpi=off, noapic, nolapic, edd=on, nosmraid, nomodreset and Free Software Only
[20:15] <Guest86627> I forget the command to list processes
[20:15] <Ernz> All: No "Safe Mode"?
[20:15] <nhak> Cynthia, i dont know, where should i specify the paths for the libs when i run the app as root ... it seems that it will not work with .bashrc in /root/
[20:15] <iceroot> Guest86627: ps
[20:15] <phillyj> anyone know what Error 1 pertains to? e.g. make: *** [makelist] Error 1
[20:16] <NinoScript> alexs, and yes, LVPM should probably do the job of moving your Wubi install to the other disk
[20:16] <bodom> iceroot: also, sudo -u mysql mysql -v works fine
[20:16] <Guest86627> Iceroot that only lists the terminal I'm in, tty1 I need to kill tty7
[20:16] <Cynthia> nhak: 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH=yourpath:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH yourprogram'
[20:17] <Nilos> ActionParsnip, Im back
[20:17] <ActionParsnip> Nilos: yo
[20:17] <ActionParsnip> Nilos: is lucid nicer to you>
[20:17] <NinoScript> alexs, Here's a tutorial: http://blip.tv/file/331947/
[20:17] <Roasted> Does Network Manager have an option somewhere to refresh the network list like WICD and Windows do? It's VERY handy to hit refresh and see all updated networks in the area.
[20:17] <m3asmi> hi
[20:17] <Roasted> Also - Does anybody know if WICD can share internet connections?
[20:17] <JoshuaL> whenever i plug in a external speaker set at my laptop i have to manually change the output connector via sound preferences, how can i solve this so it does it automaticly like it should be>
[20:18] <Nilos> ActionParsnip, :wicd now sees my wireless network, but every attempt to connect has failed
[20:18] <chill9> All: having issues setting baud rate on a garmin gps 18 USB, tried stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 38400, but keep getting unable to perform requested operation.  tried an newer kernel, then the default 2.6.32-33, used 2.6.34 running 10.04 LTS.  Have an older machine running a different distribution and kernel 2.6.18, works fine.
[20:18] <Hopeless8009> can some one plz tell me a termenal command to reboot my computer
[20:18] <thedude42> yeah, so anyone using VirtualBox with a system that supports CPU virtualization extensions.... your answer to problems could be a bios update
[20:18] <CaptainTrek> Hopeless8009:  shutdown -r now
[20:18] <CaptainTrek> er
[20:18] <CaptainTrek> wait
[20:18] <Hopeless8009> hay thanks
[20:18] <Appl6> Hopeless8009: reboot
[20:18] <CaptainTrek> Hopeless8009:  sudo shutdown -r now
[20:18] <CaptainTrek> Appl6: never had success with "reboot"
[20:18] <Sam_Fisher> good morning!!!!!!!!!!!
[20:19] <bodom> anyone?
[20:19] <Guest86627> Iceroot that only lists the terminal I'm in, tty1 I need to kill tty7

[20:19] <FriedrichMan> hello
[20:19] <alexs> NinoScript: seems like my cunning plan of using vmwareplayer wil work :)
[20:19] <Cynthia> bodom: Anyone what? Sorry, this channel is fast-paced and you'll need to repeat your question every so often (but not too often! :)
[20:19] <FriedrichMan> maybe somebody's got the answer to this: I am trying to use thunderbird and it keeps asking me for the password... I write the password... and asks me for the password again...
[20:19] <FriedrichMan> what's up with that?
[20:20] <Sam_Fisher> How do I add extra destinations to the Copy to: and Move to: right click commands?
[20:20] <oCean_> bodom: checked mysql logs in /var/log/ and/or /var/log/mysql ?
[20:20] <Guest86627> How do I kill my gui session in tty7 it doesn't show it in ps or top
[20:20] <NinoScript> alexs, but that won't be a full install! :P         well, good luck with that ;)
[20:20] <bodom> Cynthia: the command start mysql hangs undefinitely. I have no error messages
[20:20] <Appl6> nhak: You could try executing your application under strace and looking at the output.  It should tell you which part is failing.
[20:20] <guntbert> !ot | Sam_Fisher
[20:20] <Sam_Fisher> FriedrichMan, Does it get your mail?
[20:20] <jvizzle> Heya, Is there a program to extract .rar?
[20:20] <alexs> NinoScript: wont be full? how?
[20:20] <bodom> oCean_: I've checked them, but the only logs are written when i manually start mysql and it works fine on this case
[20:20] <phillyj> anyone know what Error 1 pertains to? e.g. make: *** [makelist] Error 1
[20:20] <Sonsee> unrar )))

[20:21] <Sam_Fisher> guntbert, Sorry I thought this was the self help area for fools using Windoze
[20:21] <FriedrichMan> Sam_Fisher: i don't know... I have no new mail I guess
[20:21] <jvizzle> Sonsee: apt-get that?
[20:21] <dasc> Anyone know where I can set the sharing options on ubuntu 10.04?  I've tried to do it via /etc/samba/smb.conf but my windows box still asks for username/password which doesn't seem to be working :(
 try
[20:21] <FriedrichMan> now I am trying to change the master password from settings and it says it's not the right password... wtf?
[20:21] <jvizzle> alright
[20:22] <Sam_Fisher> FriedrichMan, what's your address I'll make sure you get some new email
[20:22] <Appl6> jvizzle: Ha, you wouldn't happen to be a video game map maker would you?  And yes, "sudo aptitude install unrar-free".
[20:22] <Guest86627> How do I kill my gui session in tty7 it doesn't show it in ps or top its the default desktop ubuntu loads
[20:22] <oCean_> FriedrichMan: watch your language
[20:22] <NinoScript> alexs, err… I meant… it won't be running natively, I thought that's what you wanted, full speed :)
[20:22] <alexs> NinoScript: I will then take the HD and stick it in my other computer
[20:22] <FriedrichMan> Sam_Fisher<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[20:22] <Sonderblade> what can you do to get ubuntu to regenerate the initrd, vmlinuz and System.map files?
[20:22] <alexs> installer is currently sitting on little keyboard = man in cricle icon
[20:22] <jvizzle> Appl6: not since quake 1 and 2
[20:22] <alexs> wtf does that mean?
[20:23] <cfedde> Guest86627: one way is to be in tty7 and hit ctl-alt-backspace.
[20:23] <Nilos> ActionParsnip, :wicd now sees my wireless network, but every attempt to connect has failed.I set the encrpytion key in properties.Am I missing something?
[20:23] <guntbert> FriedrichMan: this channel is publicly logged - so don't post your email address here
[20:23] <cfedde> Guest86627: another is to restart gdm
[20:23] <Docteh> dasc: samba has a separate password file
[20:23] <Sam_Fisher> FriedrichMan, sent
[20:23] <guntbert> !wtf | alexs
[20:24] <phillyj> anyone know what Error 1 pertains to? e.g. make: *** [makelist] Error 1
[20:24] <dasc> Docteh: I've tried using the terminal to set the password as well but it doesn't seem to work for samba
[20:24] <Guest86627> Cfedde how do I restart gdm?
[20:24] <Sam_Fisher> FriedrichMan, sometimes when the settings get messed up from the beginning Tbird requires the account to be deleted and to start over
[20:24] <dasc> Docteh: i did sudo smbpasswd -a [username]
[20:24] <chill9> All: having issues setting baud rate on a garmin gps 18 USB, tried stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 38400, but keep getting unable to perform requested operation.  tried an newer kernel, then the default 2.6.32-33, used 2.6.34 running 10.04 LTS.

[20:24] <FriedrichMan> Sam_Fisher it asks me for the password again
[20:25] <m3asmi> do you know any serveur how gives an IP  (like no-ip)
[20:25] <cfedde> Guest86627: from one of the text consoles type 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart'
[20:25] <dasc> Docteh: problem is..... everytime I restart ubuntu I have to go thru the setup process again to make sure my windows box connects :(
[20:26] <Docteh> dasc: it took a password and still doesn't work, or it errored when you set the password
[20:26] <Sam_Fisher> FriedrichMan, Is there an option to check Remember Password?
[20:26] <Cynthia> m3asmi: if you want to get your ip, whatismyip.com ; if you want to associate a hostname to your dynamic IP, try registering at dyndns.org or something
[20:26] <dasc> Docteh: took the password, then I'd have to restart my win box > type in the username/password to make it work
[20:26] <Guest86627> Cfedde is there a way to shut it down and then run gdm or xinit as root and have the gui as root, I'm having complicated problems I can't resolve via a terminal
[20:26] <Docteh> what version of windows?
[20:26] <Cynthia> m3asmi: (+) you'll need a dyndns updater client, please read the instructions at DynDNS
[20:27] <FriedrichMan> Sam_Fisher: in the accounts passwords... not the master password
[20:27] <FriedrichMan> I am having trouble with the master password
[20:27] <Docteh> I haven't had to restart windows due to samba problems since I upgraded to windows 2000 :-/
[20:27] <cfedde> Guest86627: if you have a root password then you can log into the gui as root.
[20:27] <Guest86627> Well of course you can via a terminal, but I'm having difficulties connecting to a network cfedde
[20:27] <dasc> Docteh: after I restart the pc I've got to go through the same process again >_>
[20:27] <dasc> Docteh: using windows XP
[20:27] <Docteh> oh, well XP wont remember passwords, are you sure the linux box is doing the same thing?
[20:28] <Sam_Fisher> FriedrichMan, master pwd? hmm I don't recall there being one. Is it perhaps the one for the interent connection?
[20:28] <Guest86627> Cfedde oh yeah duh thanks
[20:28] <Nilos> Need help setting up a wireless connection in wicd.Wtcd sees the connection, but I camnt seem to connect even after entering the encryption
[20:28] <Sam_Fisher> FriedrichMan, sorry I am not helping much
[20:28] <Googleman> hi all
[20:28] <dasc> Docteh: I don't think problem is on windows side, coz windows gives a pop up asking me for the username/password (which I definitely entered correctly)
[20:28] <FriedrichMan> Sam_Fisher: it's ok... I guess I'll just have to keep using hotmail
[20:28] <Sam_Fisher> Googleman, hey to you too
[20:28] <Sam_Fisher> FriedrichMan, nnnnnnnnnnnooooooooooooooooooooooooo
[20:28] <FriedrichMan> or reinstall this... though I am not really liking thunderbird so far
[20:29] <Sam_Fisher> FriedrichMan, so you can't recieve email?
[20:29] <FriedrichMan> spent 3 hours downloading all my mail
[20:29] <etale> hi all does anyone know some guides for making a USB stick bootable using linux terminal ?  I tried the 'usb-create' package but the thing didn't boot...
[20:29] <FriedrichMan> Sam_Fisher: unfortunatly
[20:29] <cfedde> Guest86627: it seems a little odd to need a root gui session.  But just because I'm not creative enough to come up with a need does not mean there is no such need.
[20:29] <noric> I am running ubuntu 8.04 on my dell mini 9 netbook, and would like to upgrade to 10.04.  I have tried "update-manager --devel-release" and similar actions, but I cannot get 8.04 to recognize the available 10.04 upgrade.  I believe this is a problem with my software sources.  Thanks.
[20:29] <dasc> Docteh: even with the correct username/password, my windows box isn't able to browse my linux shared files until I setup samba with 1) right click sharing options on folder 2) terminal to do smbpasswd
[20:29] <Docteh> etale: for usb I'd go with grub or extlinux
[20:29] <dlublink> Can I install raid using the 10.04lts live cd or must I use alternate É
[20:30] <Sam_Fisher> FriedrichMan, create a new account from the beginning.
[20:30] <Guest86627> Cfedde I'm not used to ubuntus networking and I couldn't do it via a terminal even withthe docs
[20:30] <Cynthia> FriedrichMan: once you're done downloading all your mail, send delete commands to the mail server and export your mails to files on your computer :)
[20:30] <Sam_Fisher> FriedrichMan, perhaps you missed a step or typed the wrong thing
[20:30] <FriedrichMan> Sam_Fisher: it's the master password so I cannot do anything in here.
[20:30] <Docteh> dasc: it should remember the password, i cant speak for gui tools though
[20:30] <Sam_Fisher> Cynthia, I'm helping him! Go get your own
[20:30] <Sam_Fisher> Cynthia, just kidding
[20:31] <Cynthia> I can still add to what you're saying, if I have tips to give :P
[20:31] <dasc> Docteh: hmmmmmmmm oh well, will have to stick with this for the time being until I format my pc
[20:31] <dasc> :D
[20:31] <jungli_>  how to do ssh to virtual server
[20:31] <FriedrichMan> Cynthia: What? should I get in the thunderbird folder (wherever it is) and save it somewhere else... reinstall the whole thing and...do...something?
[20:31] <jungli_> i install redhat on ubuntu via vbox
[20:31] <Sam_Fisher> FriedrichMan, Cynthia is correct. I used Tbird to backup my Gmail accounts to DVD. Now I can look back on what a fool I was when I was younger.
[20:31] <oCean_> jungli_: as soon as the virtualserver has ip-address you can ssh into the virtual machine
[20:31] <alexises> people here are the use a mx revollution keyboard
[20:31] <Cynthia> jungli_: same as a real server; you just have to find what IP address it was allocated
[20:32] <alexises> and mouse kit ?
[20:32] <Cynthia> FriedrichMan: The option should be in File/Export
[20:32] <jungli_> is ip is 10.xx some thing :P
[20:32] <Docteh> alexises: that sounds like regular boring hardware
[20:32] <jungli_> but mine is 192.168 xx
[20:32] <Cynthia> My step is optional though, it's just if you want to avoid downloading all your mail in future
[20:32] <unix_> exit
[20:32] <jungli_> vbox is ip is 10.xx some thing :P
[20:32] <Jef91> Anyone use an Intel SSD under Ubuntu? If so does it work well?
[20:32] <jungli_> but mine is 192.168 xx
[20:33] <jungli_> :O
[20:33] <FriedrichMan> Cynthia: the thing is... thunderbird is not allowing me to do anything at all
[20:33] <chill9> All: having issues setting baud rate on a garmin gps 18 USB, tried stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 38400, but keep getting unable to perform requested operation.  tried an newer kernel, then the default 2.6.32-33, used 2.6.34 running 10.04 LTS.  Have an older machine running a different distribution and kernel 2.6.18, works fine.
[20:33] <Sam_Fisher> Cynthia, first he would need to actually get tbird working
[20:33] <Docteh> jungli_: i usually bridge my virtual machines to my lan personally
[20:33] <jungli_> hello
[20:33] <Cynthia> FriedrichMan: Ah :\ Sorry, I haven't used Thunderbird in a long while
[20:33] <Nilos> Need help setting up a wireless connection in wicd.Wicd sees the connection, but I cant seem to connect even after entering the encryption.What am I missing?
[20:33] <sevenseeker> on a studio 17 with graphics card: ATI MOBILITY RADEON HD 4650 1G B (brand new) with windows 7 ultimate installed on first drive and I installed Ubuntu 10.4 on second drive, but now can't boot into either system after first boot (can boot first time after install but not after that)
[20:33] <sevenseeker> is this a grub issue?
[20:33] <FriedrichMan> worse than that.. I have 2 "password required" messages all the time
[20:33] <jungli_> how can i asssign good ip to virtual machine ?
[20:33] <jungli_> how can i asssign good ip to virtual machine ?
[20:34] <oCean_> jungli_: stop repeating
[20:34] <jungli_> :P
[20:34] <hmw> FriedrichMan: did you perhaps use a link to get the profile from soemwhere else? perhaps a NTFS partition?
[20:34] <CaptainTrek> !repeat | jungli_
[20:34] <guntbert> jungli_: virtual box support in #vbox please
[20:34] <oCean_> jungli_: in the vbox settings you can choose for "bridged networking"
[20:34] <Docteh> sevenseeker: first time after install, as in if you reinstall linux you can boot it once after that?
[20:34] <jungli_> thanks :P
[20:34] <rain_> how to fix those apt-get errors?  /var/cache/apt/archives/fglrx_2%3a8.723.1-0ubuntu3_i386.deb
[20:34] <rain_> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[20:35] <sevenseeker> Docteh, yes... that is my workaround right now
[20:35] <sevenseeker> thus I suspect grub, but am not sure what to fix
[20:35] <alexises> Docteh: yes, unfortunetly it try to search if a bug present on fedora 13 it's also exist on ubuntu 10.04
[20:35] <Damascene> how to upload screen cast to youtube as Lucid uses theora 1.1 and youtube does not
[20:35] <Docteh> alexises: whats the problem
[20:35] <Cynthia> Damascene: ffmpeg -i FILE.ogv -f avi -sameq FILE.avi
[20:36] <Cynthia> (sudo apt-get install ffmpeg)
[20:36] <Sam_Fisher> How do I add extra destinations to the Copy to: and Move to: right click commands?
[20:36] <FriedrichMan> hmw: nope, just finished getting my 2 personal accounts working on thunderbird... since the passwords aren't very strong... I decided to use this Master Password option and when I restarted the thing... well it's giving me this hard time
[20:36] <alexises> Docteh: the keyboard is been detected but the ac adaptater is a bluetooth adaptator
[20:36] <OttifantSir> I've lost my menu-folder for Wine after an upgrade to 10.04. Complete removal and reinstallation hasn't helped. Any way to get it back?
[20:36] <Damascene> any one knows a site that accept ogv?
[20:36] <alexises> this bluetooth adaptator has 2 mode : a basic  compatibility mode and it's alsa can be use as a bluetooth receptor
[20:36] <Damascene> thanks Cynthia
[20:37] <hmw> FriedrichMan: did you rule out such simple things as CAPS LOCK or another keyboard layout?
[20:37] <Sam_Fisher> FriedrichMan, so you had tbird working then somewher in tbird found a master password option?
[20:37] <alexises> the problem is that bluez input module look like configurade to autoconfigure my keyboard
[20:37] <Docteh> sevenseeker: whats the error you get when nothing boots?
[20:37] <alexises> and the bluez wiki is down :(
[20:37] <Cynthia> FriedrichMan: The Master Password is there so you can save your mail passwords. You still need to enter your mail password in the Password Manager, but when Tbird asks you for your "password" to check your mail, if you have it saved, it's going to be the Master Password, not any mail password. Your mail server is not going to know about your Master Password.
[20:37] <bodom> so, no way to make the new crap init script work?
[20:37] <Vbitz> would i have any problems with a atheros  wireless card when installing ubuntu 10.04 netbook
[20:37] <FriedrichMan> hmw: yeap... even wrote the password in a paper since I was so prowd of havind came up with such a cool password
[20:38] <anujgupta> jfijr
[20:38] <Sam_Fisher> Does anyone use the MoveTO: right click? How can I MoveTO: Say my Dropbox.
[20:38] <sevenseeker> Docteh: 'No module found: press any key to continue' (then it tries to PXE boot as per the default BIOS boot order)
[20:38] <duffydack> OttifantSir, theres a file called applications.menu in .config/menus.  edit it, and you`ll see some tags called "Deleted  /Deleted"   remove them
[20:38] <Docteh> huh
[20:38] <hmw> FriedrichMan: heheh. Well... I hope you get your stuff up again!
[20:38] <Guest86627> Hey guys I can't connect to my home network, what should I do? Its unsecured and there's no mac filtering
[20:38] <blathat> For some reason, my SSD does not automatically mount when I boot my computer.  I have to click on it places and then enter my password to mount it.  How can I make this automatic like it was before?
[20:38] <Sam_Fisher> FriedrichMan, oh noo! I stick with my name and birthday since I can usually remember it and if not I can ask my Mom
[20:38] <VirusTB> Error allert >> " Error loading the runtime (libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)""
[20:39] <FriedrichMan> Cynthia: I am going with the Master Password... not the mail passwords... for the mail passwords I checked it so it doesn't ask for it
[20:39] <OttifantSir> daffydack: Thanks
[20:39] <Cynthia> blathat: I'm not sure if you were the person who asked how to mount a drive on startup, but see:
[20:39] <Cynthia> !fstab
[20:39] <hmw> Cynthia: fstab is not for automount
[20:39] <Nilos> Need help setting up a wireless connection in wicd.Wicd sees the connection, but I cant seem to connect even after entering the encryption.What am I missing?
[20:40] <Docteh> sevenseeker: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1343851 looks common
[20:40] <VirusTB> im guestting i need to install "libgtk-x11-2.0.so "  Cynthia Aciid
[20:40] <hmw> Cynthia: btw. if you mount your drive via fstab, its owned by root, thus the user cant umount it in Gnome
[20:40] <hmw> Cynthia: perhaps one can do something about that, i guess
[20:40] <Cynthia> hmw: I'm not sure *when* blathat wants the drive to be mounted, so we could be both wrong :(
[20:41] <FriedrichMan> i hate my life
[20:41] <VirusTB> Error allert >> " Error loading the runtime (libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)""
[20:41] <FriedrichMan> ok... thanks for your help
[20:41] <hmw> Cynthia: i assumed, he has that bug, where it suddenly stops automounting the drive. I had that too. Usually an icon appears, when you connect your thumb drive...
[20:41] <blathat> i want the drive to mount at startup
[20:41] <etale> whats the command for making a partition have the ext2 filesystem?
[20:41] <Cynthia> hmw: Ah. I'll let you try to help then.
[20:41] <ThinkingInBits> Ok, this is incredibly annoying.  So, my /var/www/folder is owned by myftpuser, he and apache are both in the apache group, which the folder belongs to
[20:41] <trijntje> how can I add a computer to my Ubuntu one account? I suppose i'm some sort of idiot but I cannot seem to find the option in the web interface
[20:42] <sevenseeker> dang, that is a whacked out philosophy on life just because of OS/compy problems
[20:42] <hmw> blathat: in this case, look into fstab, you just need a line there and the file system will be mounted automatically, even before the GUI starts
[20:42] <ThinkingInBits> whenever I upload a file to this directory with filezilla, the permissions are set to 600, but when i touch a file through ssh, its the proper '644'
