[08:36] <Rishab_> vise and now while bootin my system the GDM fails to load and automatically my screen gets to sleep state //
[08:36] <kdub> Rishab_: "other repos" are not always to be trusted. you can try uninstalling the packages you installed, but it is possible that those programs modified affected configurations that wont be undone with an uninstall
[08:37] <Rishab_> kdub is there any way to restore my system as it was on tomoro
[08:37] <toter> in kde4, when I hover the mouse on Kickoff, it shows an annoying popup. Actually, this popup shows in every icon I hover on the taskbar. is there a way to remove this nagging popup?
[08:38] <kdub> Rishab_: unless you set it up, not really. full system snapshots don't really make sense
[08:39] <vise> Isnt there a recovery option for ubuntu? :O
[08:40] <Rishab_> vise but my GDM fails to start how can i recover in text mdoe
[08:40] <Rishab_> or in single user mode
[08:40] <kdub> you have to take steps to set it up
[08:40] <CooosmiChaos> press escape select recovery mode
[08:40] <vise> I mean put your install cd or live cd, and see if there is a recovery option... I am not sure.. :(
[08:41] <CooosmiChaos> dont you have one in grub???
[08:41] <heroid> with the alternative cd
[08:41] <heroid> you got recovery mode
[08:41] <heroid> and with the dvd
[08:41] <kdub> Rishab_: my advice is to uninstall the other packages, and fix any problems
[08:41] <Rishab_> no i donot have CD to recover it
[08:41] <vise> CooosmiChaos, Grub just boots into text mode.. Hes already in text mode.. lol
[08:41] <kdub> CooosmiChaos: his problem is not that he can't access the terminal, its that a package caused unstable system configs
[08:42] <vise> Rishab_, What did you install it with?
[08:42] <kdub> if you go into recovery mode, you still have to know what you're doing
[08:42] <heroid> yep that happend to me
[08:42] <Rishab_> kdub actuallt i don't rememb. all the packages i installed
[08:42] <heroid> it can cause kernel panic
[08:43] <CooosmiChaos> im not in it at the hole, is this system installed on hd or does the live-cds dont work?
[08:44] <Rishab_> any other ideas ??
[08:44] <SmoKeyCastle> Hi, In ifconfig, it shows multiple interfaces, two of which are mon0 and mon1, how would i find out what physical adapter these are associated with?
[08:45] <vise> Rishab_, You have to have a cd.. What did you install it from?
[08:46] <Rishab_> vice i have the CD but in that no recovery option
[08:48] <jilbert> hi all
[08:49] <jilbert> does anybody know how to install crossover to 64bit jaunty?
[08:50] <SmoKeyCastle> what kind of devices have a 16 key hw address?
[08:50] <Faithful> upgraded to jaunty and now amarok only plays some mp3s and not others... what is that???
[08:50] <hatori> hello i got an eeepc 1000he with intel gma 950 and the it doesnt detect my external monitor when i resume my system
[08:50] <hatori> does anyone know that issue{
[08:50] <hatori> {
[08:51] <hatori> damn. thats supposed to be ?
[08:51] <Faithful> hatori, no but there is plenty of docs about getting eepc to work right
[08:52] <hiug> !debian
[08:52] <hiug> How is the Ubuntu community different from the Debian community?
[08:54] <hatori> Faithful: well its working all right. might as well just be some karmic issue
[08:55] <JoeM> could someone explain how to turn on PAE mode?  I want to use more than 4G of ram without having to reinstall as 64bit
[08:55] <dragon_> !enter | hatori
[08:55] <vise> JoeM, You have to recompile kernel with PAE option i think..
[08:56] <JoeM> hmm... that's almost as irritating as having to reinstall
[08:57] <bullgard4> Why does '~$ sudo netstat -a -n -o -p –inet –inet6 | grep ekiga > ekiga.txt' respond with "usage:"?
[08:57] <JoeM> hmm... besides 2 years of configuration tweaks, what do I risk losing if I reinstall as 64bit?
[08:57] <JoeM> IE, wine still work (have one app I need for work), all basic apps, etc
[08:58] <vise> JoeM, Why would you lose if you reinstall? You just format the partition.. You have to backup required data (installer packages)
[08:58] <Faithful> of course you need to install phonon-backend-xine for amarok to play *all* mp3s ???
[08:58] <lstarnes> bullgard4: try using --inet instead of --inet and --inet6
[08:59] <JoeM> visa some apps don't work under 64bit
[08:59] <JoeM> ment vise there, heh
[08:59] <lstarnes> bullgard4: wait, never mind.  What you had looks correct, but it's using something else instead of --
[09:00] <adam7> JoeM: what do you need to run that doesn't work?
[09:01]  * Mayazcherquoi is away: Can't you see that i'm away? Gosh!
[09:01] <lstarnes> !away > Mayazcherquoi
[09:01] <Cynner> http://www.lostworlds.lv/go.php?1139730844
[09:01] <JoeM> adam7 I haven't installed yet, hence I'm asking what (basic things, like wine) doesn't work
[09:02] <Mayazcherquoi> Sorry lstarnes :(
[09:02] <Mayazcherquoi> Didn't know it was such a nuisence.
[09:02] <adam7> JoeM: AFAIK wine works in 64bit
[09:02] <vise> JoeM, No idea about 64 bit..
[09:02] <losher> !away
[09:03] <JoeM> adam7 main things I need are Hamachi (via google appears it will work), Synergy, wine, skype, vuze , wmctrl... just about everything else is default installed so they should work
[09:03] <adam7> JoeM: almost anything open source will work
[09:03] <adam7> JoeM: I use skype, that works
[09:05] <JoeM> adam7 debating on just moving current 32bit to new hardware (but then I'd have to deal with turning PAE back on after any kernel updates) or just doing 64bit clean install and trying to remember all the extra things I installed
[09:05] <adam7> JoeM: also, if you don't reformat /home then you can keep your settings
[09:05] <adam7> JoeM: and synaptic can give you a list of installed packages
[09:05] <adam7> JoeM: and if you want, you can probably copy /etc and then dump that in your 64bit install
[09:07] <JoeM> adam7 really... I didn't think that would work... (the /etc part)
[09:07] <bullgard4> lstarnes: '~$ sudo netstat -a -n -o -p –inet | grep ekiga works but does not produce output. --  So -inet6 is the culprit.
[09:07] <adam7> JoeM: why not? it's all config files
[09:07] <JoeM> adam7 which would you do, I'm putting together a i7 920 system
[09:07] <JoeM> adam7 I don't know which sections of the OS are different under 64bit
[09:07] <aim> Hi guys, can some one help me with name resolution?
[09:07] <lstarnes> bullgard4: 'sudo netstat -anop --inet --inet6' worked for me
[09:07] <aim> IP/name resolution is shocking.
[09:08] <imatech> I need an epson workhorse 500 print driver
[09:08] <kraut> moin
[09:08] <aim> It just turns itself off.
[09:08] <JoeM> adam7 I have about 2 years worth of little changes I've made, most of which I don't even remember (but I will when I start saying WHY WON'T THIS WORK...)
[09:08] <aim> and then on again after ~20seconds
[09:08] <adam7> JoeM: I've been using 64bit for a couple of years, so I'm not much help in migrating...
[09:08] <JoeM> adam7 heh, I'm thinking that would be the better way... just a bit more painful to get things back
[09:08] <adam7> JoeM: but you should be able to copy /home and /etc to a new install with minimal trouble, and then use Synaptic to get a list of teh installed packages and reinstall them
[09:08] <JoeM> adam7 do you have any experience with SSD?
[09:09] <adam7> JoeM: nope
[09:09] <bullgard4> lstarnes: For me too. --  Thank you very much for your help.
[09:09] <adam7> JoeM: I just have an AMDx2 that I run my 64bit on with a normal drive
[09:09] <adam7> works great
[09:09] <redsoxking> quick question, is there a way for me to make an ISO image of my current ubuntu, that I can use to boot into a new computer with all of my same apps and configs?
[09:10] <JoeM> adam7 just got an i7 920, OCZ Vertex 30G for the OS drive and Samsung SpinPoint F1 (2x in RAID 0) for /home
[09:10] <adam7> JoeM: is an i7 an intel quad?
[09:10] <adam7> JoeM: how much RAM do you have?
[09:10] <n0gearII> !clone
[09:10] <JoeM> adam7 yeah, it's the quad
[09:11] <JoeM> adam7 right now 6G that I can use, I have another 2G but since the i7 uses tri-channel I need to buy two more sticks (so I'll have 12G in a few weeks)
[09:11] <bobbyyu> Hey guys.
[09:11] <JoeM> adam7 with 6-12G of ram, would it be safe to go without a swap?
[09:11] <ralfgro> morning! I've some problems setting up kerberos (active directory) auth for offline clients (eg laptops)
[09:11] <adam7> JoeM: I have no idea what anyone would possibly use that much RAM for, but anyway. You'll need to enable PAE or use 64bit to use it all
[09:11] <ralfgro> I configure pam for local linux auth and krb5
[09:12] <redsoxking> ubottu, ur pretty helpful for a boot lol
[09:12] <adam7> JoeM: I occasionally go without swap with 2gb, you should be fine. But if you want to use hibernate you'll need 1:1 RAM:swap
[09:12] <ralfgro> additionally pam_ccreds.so
[09:12] <bobbyyu> Has anyone here who uses Transmission notice freezing in the program?
[09:12] <ralfgro> I can login with the local unix pw and the ad pw when online
[09:12] <JoeM> adam7 yeah, I knew that part (PAE or 64bit)... hmm hibernate would be good
[09:12] <ralfgro> but I always get the 60 second timeout when offline with the ad password
[09:13] <bobbyyu> I'm not making an ass out of myself, but I just want to point it out.
[09:13] <jilbert> hi.. is there a way for me to join my Desktop in windows 2003 Domain?
[09:13] <Diana_> hi
[09:13] <pirx> hi! if i want to install ubuntu on some 16 servers, and would like to do this with some kind of network-install of some pre-built image that i have compiled, what system should i look at?
[09:13] <JoeM> adam7 think 17G would be enough for a OS partition (I could split my 30G SSD for swap)?
[09:13] <pierre3400> Hey, anyone here the knows anything about getting ubuntu and vista to talk over a network? I installed samba, and did what i am suppose to, but they still wont find each other?
[09:13] <adam7> JoeM: if the only drive you have is that SSD I would just forget hibernate and use it all for root
[09:14] <vigo> pirx: 8.04LTS would be my guess.
[09:14] <adam7> pirx: if they're identical servers, you could make a disk image and use dd to write it
[09:14] <JoeM> adam7 I'll have 2TB for home, so I can easily put it there, but the SSD is the faster one
[09:15] <pirx> vigo: yes, it will be 8.04lts version of ubuntu, but i am looking for some way to "pump" it out to the servers, with some software pre-installed
[09:15] <adam7> JoeM: unless your doing some crazy 3d rendering or something you're never going to use more than 3 gb probably
[09:15] <MindVirus> Hello. Can anyone with libpng3 please send me /usr/lib/libpng.so.3?
[09:15] <MindVirus> That is, if you're on a 32-bit system.
[09:15] <JoeM> adam7 not yet, but I may in the future... but plan to upgrade again before than anyway
[09:15] <adam7> JoeM: but anyway, if you want to use hibernate you can stick the swap parition on one of your drives
[09:16] <pirx> adam7: hmm. doesnt that sound kind of primitive? :) isnt there some "boot and install over network" system?
[09:16] <vigo> pirx: What adam7 said was on time, like a net install or better yet a mv or cp
[09:16] <JoeM> adam7 you've been helpful, I think I'll try a fresh install of 9.04 64bit and if it's too painful or some things don't work I'll try PAE mode instead
[09:16] <adam7> pirx: there is, but I've never used it :)
[09:16] <adam7> !install | pirx
[09:16] <hiug> Is Ubuntu better than Debian?
[09:16] <adam7> pirx: also, there is a channel for ubuntu servers, #ubuntu-server I think
[09:16] <_zic> hello
[09:17] <aim> hiug: depends on your requirements and definitions of 'better'
[09:17] <Myrtti> hiug: that's a matter of opinion
[09:17] <aim> _zic, hi
[09:17] <pirx> adam7: ah yes, there is, thanks!
[09:17] <MindVirus> Myrtti, also a matter of specifics.
[09:17] <adam7> pirx: they'll know more about that then us
[09:17] <adam7> probably
[09:17] <aim> everyone: In general, there's no right answer.
[09:17] <vigo> 42
[09:17] <pierre3400> Hey, anyone here the knows anything about getting ubuntu and vista to talk over a network? I installed samba, and did what i am suppose to, but they still wont find each other?
[09:18] <pirx> adam7: but its a good idea for me to read that installation url first:)
[09:18] <aim> restart the vista machine (make sure file sharing is enabled
[09:18] <MindVirus> Can anyone with libpng3 please send me /usr/lib/libpng.so.3?
[09:18] <pirx> pierre3400: are they in the same workgroup?
[09:18] <adam7> pirx: yep, if you can install it somehow, it's probably there
[09:18] <MindVirus> I know someone here has libpng3.
[09:18] <MindVirus> I would really appreciate it.
[09:18] <MindVirus> Thanks.
[09:18] <pierre3400> good question, how do i know this?
[09:18] <_zic> does anyone know whether firefox 3.5 will be available for ubuntu 8.04 through repositories ?
[09:18] <pierre3400> where can i find my vista workgroup name?
[09:19] <adam7> MindVirus: packages.ubuntu.org, you can download anything
[09:19] <Slart> MindVirus: ehm.. so any version will do? 47 bit, home compiled risc version? =)
[09:19] <aim> right click on mycomputer>properties
[09:19] <MindVirus> Slart, no, I specifically said 32-bit.
[09:19] <ubuntu__> folks, how can i check the chmod of a folder?
[09:19] <aim> pierre3400
[09:19] <MindVirus> And I would assume that a 32-bit system with libpng3 nowadays runs x86.
[09:19] <MindVirus> adam7, that's definitely invalid.
[09:19] <Slart> MindVirus: "10:18 < MindVirus> Can anyone with libpng3 please send me /usr/lib/libpng.so.3?"
[09:19] <adam7> MindVirus: what is?
[09:19] <MindVirus> Slart, previously I stated 32-bit.
[09:20] <pierre3400> thnx i think i found my problem there
[09:20] <ubuntu__> anyone?
[09:20] <MindVirus> adam7, the site.
[09:20] <ubuntu__> im trying to find out what chmod a certain forlder is
[09:20] <aim> the default for ubuntu is "workgroup" I believe
[09:20] <Slart> MindVirus: nevermind.. just go to packages.ubuntu.com
[09:20] <adam7> MindVirus: sorry, it's http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[09:20] <adam7> I mixed up the org/com
[09:20] <MindVirus> Ahh, OK. :D
[09:20] <MindVirus> Thanks.
[09:21] <vigo> !FF3.5
[09:23] <pierre3400> ok, the workgroup on my vista is called workgroup and also on ubuntu, so now imma restart, hope it works
[09:23] <aim> pierre3400: gl
[09:25] <pierre3400> oh yeh, it works now :) thnx
[09:25] <pierre3400> alomost
[09:26] <pierre3400> i can find my vista pc on ubuntu but no ubuntu on vista
[09:26] <aim> pierre3400: almost?
[09:26] <pierre3400> yes almost
[09:26] <pierre3400> i can find my vista pc on ubuntu but no ubuntu on vista
[09:26] <MindVirus> Slart, adam7: I don't know how to get files from the package without installing.
[09:26] <MindVirus> The packages contain the file I'm looking for but it's 0 bytes.
[09:27] <adam7> MindVirus: right click, and use the archive manager to open it
[09:27] <ubuntu__> folks i chmoded a windows xp to 777 and now in xp i cannot access the folder
[09:27] <Slart> MindVirus: hmm.. hang on.. let me download it and check
[09:27] <MindVirus> adam7, I did.
[09:27] <ubuntu__> can anyone recommend me what to do?
[09:27] <aim> pierre3400: http://us6.samba.org/samba/ will have more information on how to configure Samba.
[09:28] <aim> It could also be the vista machine, check your firewall etc.
[09:28] <aim> also all your settings should allow filesharing etc.
[09:28] <vise> ubuntu__, How do you chmod a whole os?
[09:28] <pierre3400> the firewall is off
[09:29] <ubuntu__> vise, i didnt, just a certain folder
[09:29] <vise> ubuntu__, File system? NTFS?
[09:29] <Slart> MindVirus: that package (libpng) depends on libpng12 something.. it's listed on the page for the package
[09:29] <ubuntu__> yup
[09:29] <vise> ubuntu__, What does Xp say? Access denied?
[09:29] <MindVirus> Slart, OK...
[09:30] <ubuntu__> vise yea
[09:30] <Slart> MindVirus: it might just be a symbolic link to some other file
[09:30] <gavi> ahh thats better
[09:30] <gavi> vise,  any suggestions?
[09:30] <MindVirus> What the hell.
[09:30] <MindVirus> Slart, are you 32-bit?
[09:30] <wapko> ubuntu__: cant you just copy the contents of the folder to a new folder ?
[09:31] <vise> gavi, Yeah.. copy to new folder..
[09:31] <gavi> wapko, in windows or in ubuntu live?
[09:31] <Slart> MindVirus: not at the moment, no
[09:31] <vise> gavi, ubuntu live
[09:31] <wapko> gavi: in ubuntu
[09:31] <gavi>  make the folder with ubuntu
[09:31] <gavi> ok
[09:31] <gavi> ill try that
[09:31] <Slart> MindVirus: what are you trying to do? why not just install libpng3 using apt-get?
[09:32] <MindVirus> Slart, I have it installed using apt, but one of the games I play is 32-bit.
[09:32] <MindVirus> And it depends on libpng.so.3.
[09:32] <MindVirus> Does anyone here run a 32-bit system?
[09:32] <gavi> if i create a new folder on a windows ntfs partition than ubuntu will by default make the new folder compatible for windows?
[09:33] <vise> gavi, Yes
[09:33] <Slart> MindVirus: but aren't there tools available to download 32-bit stuff on a 64-bit machine? I seem to remember something that did that automagically
[09:33] <jilbert> gavi, correct
[09:33] <MindVirus> Slart, no clue.
[09:33] <vise> gavi, Ubuntu doesnt do anything.. But the chmod mostly messes up with NTFS..
[09:33] <gavi> vise, jilbert, good 2 know thanks
[09:33] <JoeM> adam7 on Synaptic, File-> Generate Package Download Script... is that what I want, to get a list (sounds like a script to download that list) of packages I have installed?
[09:33] <Slart> MindVirus: but anyways.. if you look at your system   "ls -l `locate libpng.so.3`" you'll see that libpng.so.3 is just a symbolic link to libpng12.so.0
[09:34] <MindVirus> Hmm. OK.
[09:34] <MindVirus> I'll buy that.
[09:34] <jilbert> does anybody know how to install crossover on 64 bit?
[09:34] <pierre3400> ok so now i've restarted both machines, wish me luck
[09:35] <jilbert> good luck pierre3400
[09:36] <pierre3400> how ubuntu wont find my laptop :/
[09:36] <kennyyu> hi there, can i be told how to see the cpu utilization if i have got several cpus?
[09:36] <ActionParsnip1> jilbert: contact the devs, they will support you as you have paid for support as well as te product
[09:36] <vegombrei> OttifantSir: thanks ... winff is indeed amazing
[09:36] <jilbert> i will. thanks. ^^
[09:36] <pierre3400> now ubuntu wont find my laptop :/
[09:39] <rww> kennyyu: System > Administration > System Monitor > Resources tab in GNOME, the "htop" package and command from the command-line (probably alternatives, but that's what I use).
[09:39] <n0gearII> how do i set dyndns on my server?
[09:39] <ikonia> n0gearII: just change your dns servers to point to dyndsn servers
[09:39] <censushq> hello
[09:40] <censushq> i downloaded wp8 and cant get the package to install
[09:40] <Slart> n0gearII: check the dyndns site.. I think they have tutorials there for all kinds of systems... there are some updaters available in the repos
[09:40] <ikonia> censushq: wp8 ?
[09:40] <n0gearII> ikonia: at /etc/network/interfaces ???
[09:41] <censushq> wordperfect 8
[09:41] <ikonia> n0gearII: use the gui if you are not sure
[09:41] <censushq> for linux
[09:41] <pierre3400> This is annoying! Why wont it find my vista laptop now?!
[09:41] <clank> "find"
[09:41] <clank> ?
[09:41] <ikonia> pierre3400: what's the issue ?
[09:41] <n0gearII> Slart: yes i found the update client. hope it works on cli as well
[09:41] <pierre3400> well
[09:41] <Slart> n0gearII: it does.. I run it
[09:41] <silidan> pierre3400: did you find youre vista laptop?
[09:41] <lokasenna> What does ppa# stand for?
[09:41] <ikonia> !ppa
[09:42] <kennyyu> rww: thanks, but i'm using LTS.. :(
[09:42] <Slart> n0gearII: but I installed it so long ago that I don't really remember what I did
[09:42] <rww> censushq: WordPerfect for Linux has been obsolete for about four years. If you have WordPerfect documents you need to open. OpenOffice should be able to do it.
[09:42] <rww> kennyyu: and?
[09:42] <kennyyu> so you mean htop the command right?
[09:42] <censushq> is there an openoffice import filter for wpd
[09:42] <n0gearII> Slart: no worries. seems theres pretty decent howtos on dyndns site.
[09:42] <pierre3400> im trying to get my laptop and stationary talking over the network. Laptop running vista and stationary running ubuntu, before i restarted unbuntu had found my laptop on the network, but the laptop found nothing
[09:43] <censushq> r u in the same network domain
[09:43] <pierre3400> both are on WORKGROUP
[09:43] <kennyyu> rww: thanks a lot!
[09:43] <rww> censushq: looks like it, though i don't have any wordperfect documents to test with
[09:43] <clank> pierre3400: "found"? what are you talking about?
[09:43] <censushq> ok thanks, will try oo
[09:44] <pierre3400> found mening showing up, being able to see it, click it access it
[09:44] <clank> show up where?
[09:44] <censushq> sometimes vista uses lowercase "workgroup"
[09:44] <clank> you can even ping each other?
[09:44] <censushq> my Xandros EEEPC requires the domain in lowercase
[09:44] <pierre3400> i checked it running "WORKGROUP" :)
[09:44] <censushq> my ubuntu wants uppercase
[09:45] <pierre3400> wtf?! everytime i restart ubuntu more and more goes missing or settings dont stay saved :S
[09:45] <censushq> are there other channels on this hostname
[09:46] <silidan> type /list
[09:46] <ikonia> pierre3400: please control your language. We know what "wtf" means and don't need to see it
[09:46] <pierre3400> sorry
[09:46] <ikonia> censushq: see the freenode website
[09:46] <censushq> i have been using irc over 15 years
[09:46] <silidan> windows tends to find things?
[09:46] <censushq> i did my masters thesis about irc
[09:46] <discorpia> hello. i have a problem with my monitor/resolution. the resolution is right but all pixels seems "out of phase", when zoomed in it's not very noticable, but small text is unreadable. if i move windows around, the text "jumps"/"leaks" color on the sides. 1px red or 1px blue, anybody what the cause of this could be? invalid sync values? wrong dpi?
[09:46] <ikonia> censushq: then stop asking basic questions
[09:47] <n0gearII> Slart: well that was easy. apt-get and it asked all the questions and now its running ... well i hope it is
[09:47] <frans> hello everyonw
[09:47] <frans> i need your help... please
[09:47] <silidan> i dont have any help left sorry
[09:47] <maarten_> hello all
[09:47] <Slart> n0gearII: well.. it's hard to know.. until it breaks =)
[09:47] <achadwick> discorpia: is your monitor a flatscreen or a CRT?
[09:47] <shaullx> something happened and i can't watch youtube videos :O
[09:48] <shaullx> i just see a white space
[09:48] <silidan> i guess the principle dont ask to ask just ask applys here
[09:48] <harobed> have you also this annoying issue : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/343371 ?
[09:48] <discorpia> achadwick: flatscreen, with a manually patched EDID-file (which i guess is part of the problem, i just can't figure out which parameters gives these artifacts)
[09:49] <achadwick> discorpia: also, assume you've checked that Appearance > Fonts > subpixel rendering isn't wrong for your monitor
[09:49] <ActionParsnip1> !ask | frans
[09:49] <Slart> discorpia: hmm.. perhaps there is a setting for in which order the rgb-cells are.. and you're using the subpixel rendering.. that's about the only thing I think of
[09:49] <n0gearII> Slart: an it does work! excellent
[09:49] <discorpia> achadwick: yeah, it affects all graphics, not just text. but it's the exact same feature as you get with faulty cleartype settings
[09:49] <fasilkaks> hi e'one...good day...
[09:50] <fasilkaks> could anyone help with dns server setup
[09:50] <achadwick> discorpia: run xdpyinfo in a terminal. are the dimensions OK for screen #0 (or whatever)?
[09:50] <pierre3400> why am going backwards :(
[09:51] <fasilkaks> HELLO ......... COULD ANYONE HELP ME WITH DNS SERVER SETUP? I AM A TOTAL NEWBY TO THIS LINUX WORLD....
[09:51] <achadwick> discorpia: also, does it look misaligned, i.e. somewhere red fringing, somewhere blue fringing?
[09:51] <discorpia> achadwick: yeah, that's it exactly. misaligned
[09:51] <ikonia> fasilkaks: hi there, you'll find it a lot easier to chat in here if you don't use capslock
[09:51] <ikonia> fasilkaks: people respond better to lower case conversation
[09:51] <Slart> fasilkaks: a first hint.. don't use caps or people will ignore you
[09:51] <fasilkaks> no issues
[09:51] <fasilkaks> thanks a lot
[09:51] <ikonia> fasilkaks: first of all, what is your end goal
[09:51] <vegombrei> brasero has issues burning VCD's ... i looked up if there are plugins etc but didnt find any .. whhats the best all purpose cd/dvd burning software for ubuntu?
[09:51] <discorpia> achadwick: do you know what that could stem from?
[09:52] <Slart> !burn
[09:52] <achadwick> discorpia: sorry, meant -consisently- misaligned over the entire screen, or misilingned so as to get different fringing at diff. horiz / vert positions?
[09:52] <fasilkaks> ikonia: i would have a machine which i need to setup as a dns
[09:52] <thesandman> can anyone help me diagnois an eaves dropping problem with ubuntu?
[09:52] <ikonia> fasilkaks: do you want your machine to be able to use DNS, or run a DNS server
[09:52] <ikonia> thesandman: eaves dropping ?
[09:53] <Balkrah> HELP! My window manager has crashed and the only way i can get it to work is to log in as root!
[09:53] <discorpia> achadwick: oh, the latter. it's misaligned with either red or blue "overbleed" depending on position
[09:53] <fasilkaks> ikonia: i would like the machine to be my dns server
[09:53] <ActionParsnip1> fasilkaks: http://ulyssesonline.com/2007/11/07/how-to-setup-a-dns-server-in-ubuntu/
[09:53] <discorpia> achadwick: xdpyinfo says, dimensions:    1920x1200 pixels (341x272 millimeters), resolution:    143x112 dots per inch, which is probably a part of the problem then, because the active area is supposed to be 518x324
[09:53] <discorpia> millimeters
[09:53] <spsneo> !ff35
[09:53] <ikonia> fasilkaks: do you understand the princiapals of DNS - you need two static IP address to host a DNS domain, do you have that ?
[09:53] <ActionParsnip1> fasilkaks: you can also simply install dnsmasq which will give you a local dns server and speed up web browsing
[09:54] <thesandman> Ikonia: yess I clicked on an app offline and it didn't respond right away and a box poped up saying a malicious software might be eavesdropping?
[09:54] <frans> hello every one. i need help. i just installed ubuntu 8 as second os. my first os is winxp. after the ubuntu installation completed, i can't boot winxp. it said 'missing hal.dll'. i have tried modifing grub and boot.ini but no solution. anyone can help?
[09:54] <fasilkaks> yes
[09:54] <hiug> !stable
[09:54] <ikonia> thesandman: which application did you click on ?
[09:54] <ikonia> fasilkaks: yes what ?
[09:54] <ActionParsnip1> frans: did you resize an ntfs partition to make space for ubuntu?
[09:54] <fasilkaks> i have two ips
[09:54] <ikonia> fasilkaks: you have two static ip addresses ?
[09:54] <thesandman> mouse
[09:54] <frans> no i did not. i have spared a partition for linux.
[09:54] <Balkrah> frans: the same thing happened to my friend, who had to reinstall *everythin*
[09:55] <fasilkaks> ikonia: yes
[09:55] <pierre3400> Im seriously going backwards here, first i changed the workgroup names so they matched, and then my vista laoptop showed up on ubuntu, but now nothing shows up, not even the ubuntu machine shows up on the network in ubuntu?!
[09:55] <ikonia> fasilkaks: super so what part are you not clear on ?
[09:55] <ActionParsnip1> frans: ok, but was it ALL NTFS then you resized to make space for ubuntu
[09:55] <achadwick> discorpia: the mm setting is largely irrelevant. Sounds like a wrong-resolution issue to me.
[09:55] <n0gearII> what would be a light weight web browser?
[09:55] <thesandman> ikonia: are you familiar with any malicious software with ubuntu that eaves drop?
[09:55] <jeremy1> can anyone help me install vmware player?  it is giving me an error of can't find kernel headers
[09:55] <ikonia> thesandman: what application did you click
[09:55] <ActionParsnip1> n0gearII: firepup, swiftfox, kazenchase
[09:55] <n0gearII> ActionParsnip1: ty
[09:55] <ActionParsnip1> !vmware | jeremy
[09:55] <jeremy1> !vmware
[09:56] <jeremy1> ?
[09:56] <thesandman> ikonia: scroll up^....mouse app
[09:56] <fasilkaks> ikonia: the first thing is that i am using kubuntu for my laptop. and all the studies i carry out in a centos pc.
[09:56] <discorpia> achadwick: yeah, one might think so, but the native resolution of this screen is supposed to be 1920x1200, so not sure where to go from now
[09:56] <frans> Actionparnsip1: it was all ntfs. i intended make 3 partitions: one for linux, one for data and one for winxp
[09:56] <ikonia> fasilkaks: do you want to put a dns server on ubuntu or centos ?
[09:56] <n0gearII> ActionParsnip1: none of those can be found from repos :(
[09:56] <fasilkaks> ikonia: in centos
[09:57] <ikonia> thesandman: I cannot find any reference to the mallicious popup in gnome's desktop design
[09:57] <jeremy1> ive already installed it manually, it just won't find the headers for Kernel Linux 2.6.27-8-eeepc
[09:57] <ikonia> fasilkaks: then ask in #centos
[09:57] <thesandman> ikonia: it does'nt matter about the software...all i'm concerned about is the malicious software that's causing the attacks...are you familiar with it at all?
[09:57] <ikonia> thesandman: which mouse app exactly
[09:57] <fasilkaks> ikonia: i dont know how to get in there
[09:57] <ikonia> fasilkaks: /join #centos
[09:57] <ActionParsnip1> frans: then you may have damaged the file, i suggest you get a new copy of the file or run a repair install, the fact that it boots means grub is ok
[09:57] <fasilkaks> ikonia: lemme try and thanks for ur help :)
[09:58] <frans> actionparnship1: can you explain how the file (hal.dll) damaged?
[09:58] <thesandman> ikonia: all I know it's in the app bin at the top of the page in others, but that's besides the point quit asking which app...the problem is "MALICIOUS EAVES DROPPING OK"
[09:58] <pierre3400> is it possible to a system restore on ubuntu?
[09:58] <ActionParsnip1> frans: well if you've resized the partition and its gone a bit weird then it may damage or destroy the file
[09:58] <ikonia> thesandman: I suspect that is a webpage popup rather than an application
[09:59] <ikonia> thesandman: please tell me exactly which application you clicked
[09:59] <ActionParsnip1> frans: their is nowarranty of garuntee with linux so this can happen which is why you should make sure your backups are recent before startig
[09:59] <thesandman> ikonia: I just told you I was offline when I clicked on the MOUSE APP
[09:59] <ikonia> thesandman: which mouose app - please stop using capps
[10:00] <ikonia> thesandman: web pages don't have to be online depending on your browsing habbits
[10:00] <ActionParsnip1> frans: i'd ask in ##windows on how to recover the file
[10:00] <Supersaiyan_IV> frans, did you resize your partiton?
[10:00] <frans> actionparnsip1: i already have 3 partitions long ago. the third partition is unused. before i install linux, the winxp boots normally.
[10:00] <thesandman> iknoia: quit asking me which "APPS" if you cant help me then quit asking me which "APPS"
[10:00] <ikonia> thesandman: just tell me the name of the application you clicked
[10:01] <n0gearII> whats the smallest web browser that can be found from the repo?
[10:01] <frans> Supersaiyan_IV: no i did not resize it. i already have the partition long before i install ubuntu. i installed ubuntu this morning.
[10:01] <thesandman> ikonia: YOUR VERY STUPID
[10:01] <ikonia> n0gearII: there are text based ones such as lynx or elinks
[10:01] <Slart> n0gearII: links? it's command line though
[10:01] <aim> thesandman, if you do want help, be polite.
[10:01] <ActionParsnip1> frans: you said " i can't boot winxp. it said 'missing hal.dll'. i have tried modifing grub and boot.ini but no solution. anyone can help?"
[10:01] <n0gearII> would have to be GUI
[10:01] <aim> Oops, my words of wisdom are too late I guess ikonia
[10:01] <ActionParsnip1> frans: now you are saying it boots normally?
[10:02] <ActionParsnip1> n0gearII: midori or firepup
[10:02] <frans> ActionParsnip1: yes
[10:02] <Supersaiyan_IV> frans, im no windows expert so no idea why some dll file dot damaged
[10:02] <Supersaiyan_IV> g*
[10:02] <n0gearII> ActionParsnip1: ty
[10:02] <ActionParsnip1> frans: so which is it, sounds like you dont have any issue as you said initially that ubuntu boots ok and xp doesn't, now you say xp is ok so sounds like you are ok
[10:02] <discorpia> achadwick: thanks for the feedback mate
[10:03] <aim> ikonia, can you help me again?
[10:03] <Supersaiyan_IV> although I must add that triple boot works flawlessly
[10:03] <ActionParsnip1> n0gearII: it depends on plugins and addons really
[10:03] <ikonia> aim: what's up, sorry, I missed your question
[10:03] <aim> ikonia; I asked you last night
[10:03] <sixxxx> anyone use virtualbox with ubuntu ?
[10:03] <ikonia> aim: I don't remember, can you please remind me
[10:03] <n0gearII> ActionParsnip1: midori seems ok.c. 50mb. Tried FF3.5 and it would have been almost 200mb
[10:03] <frans>  ActionParsnip1: no. first i have winxp with 3 partitions. then i install ubuntu on one of the partition. then i can't boot winxp.
[10:04] <aim> ikonia: I have the intermittent name resolution/packet loss problem.
[10:04] <Supersaiyan_IV> n0gearII, is FF3.5 in PPA?
[10:04] <ActionParsnip1> frans: ahh so you had 3 windows partitions and you sacrificed one for linux
[10:04] <ikonia> aim: ooh yes, that's right, on the wirless connection wasn't it
[10:04] <aim> ikonia: I'm not sure what's wrong really
[10:04] <aim> ikonia:Yes
[10:04] <n0gearII> Supersaiyan_IV: yes it was there as an option
[10:04] <ikonia> aim: what have you done so far to resolve it ?
[10:04] <Supersaiyan_IV> awsome
[10:04] <frans> ActionParsnip1: yes
[10:04] <ActionParsnip1> frans: can you boot safemode
[10:05] <pierre3400> Right, i changed the name of the workgroud once more, this made me able to see the vista pc again, but no access
[10:05] <ActionParsnip1> frans: i think you'll get better support in ##windows as they use the OS
[10:05] <aim> ikonia: Not much, I've got two terminals open constantly pinging google, one using the IP address, the other using the 'name' or whatever you call it
[10:05] <esb_> frans: Dependencies for MBR ? Same disc..?
[10:05] <frans> ActionParsnip1: how? because when i choose the winxp entry from grub, it instantly display the 'missing hal.dll' message.
[10:05] <ikonia> aim: ok - what's the output of those commands ? does one always work, the other not etc
[10:05] <sixxxx> anybody use virtual box ?
[10:05] <ActionParsnip1> frans: as long as its not the system partition that you destroyed you should e fine
[10:05] <frans> ActionParsnip1: how to join #windows?
[10:05] <ActionParsnip1> frans: /join ##windows
[10:06] <silidan> sixxxx: what you want to get to run?
[10:06] <pierre3400> when i right click and go to permissions, it says The permissions og "smb" could not be determined
[10:06] <frans> ActionParsnip1: just joined. thanks.
[10:06] <koshari> sixxxx many do
[10:06] <aim> ikonia: sort of, one changes like, when I ping the name (google.com) whenever the timeout occurs the output changes, but does not timeout itself
[10:07] <sixxxx> im not sure about the networking side of it silidan ..ive installed host on ubunut and my guest is slackware but not sure how to network em together
[10:07] <n0gearII> ahh crap. midori screws up the forum page that i need to use a lot
[10:07] <ikonia> aim: what does the output change to ? if you can caputre it and log it in a pastebin we'll see if we can take it forward
[10:07] <aim> ikonia:  This is a typical output from the name ping: 64 bytes from jp-in-f99.google.com (<IP_ADDRESS>): icmp_seq=1152 ttl=242 time=226 ms
[10:07] <aim> ikonia: and it changes to this, 64 bytes from <IP_ADDRESS>: icmp_seq=966 ttl=242 time=223 ms
[10:08] <silidan> why does synaptic and apt-get aftersome reboots just segfault ?
[10:08] <ActionParsnip1> n0gearII: there are many brosers dude. Try a few
[10:08] <ikonia> aim: can you please pastebin the output of "netstrat -rn" please
[10:09] <aim> need root?
[10:09] <silidan> look at th help page, there is something about initiating an ipx network
[10:09] <aim> ikonia: need root?
[10:09] <silidan> sixxxx: look at th help page, there is something about initiating an ipx network
[10:09] <sixxxx> k silidan thanks
[10:09] <ikonia> aim: nah

[10:12] <silidan> apt-get and synaptic segfaults what can i do?
[10:12] <aim> ikonia: that isn't the wireless router btw, that's the modem.
[10:12] <ikonia> aim: thats fine
[10:13] <aim> Ok cool.
[10:13] <aim> might be 15min till next dropout.
[10:13] <ikonia> aim: thats ok
[10:13] <sixxxx> thanks silidan
[10:13] <Slart> silidan: hmm.. system corruption? I would do a complete reinstall
[10:13] <koshari> my ubuntu 9.10 is locking up, i checked hardware, ram ect and it seems a software issue, my backup from 26-june seems solid, of the top of my head the only changes i can recall are installing ff 3.5 which the logs were saying was segfaulting, other events prior to the lockup were hda iqg issue,  any ideas?
[10:14] <hiug> Is there anything wrong with Debian compared to Ubuntu?
[10:14] <silidan> Slart: i had this issues before after a reboot they were fixed
[10:14] <Slart> silidan: you might be able to fix the problems you can spot easily but there might be other things crashing and running amok where you can't see them..
[10:15] <Slart> silidan: oh.. well.. a reboot is a pretty easy thing to try.. but I would look into what might be causing the problems.. could be bad memory or something
[10:15] <bullgard4> 'man netstat': "If you don't specify any address families, then the active sockets of all configured address families will be printed." Can you pleas list all 'address families' that are known to netstat?
[10:15] <silidan> Slart: exactly thats why im asking
[10:15] <koshari> hiug depends on what you want, are you looking at sid?
[10:15] <bullgard4> s/pleas/please/
[10:16] <Slart> silidan: there is a memtest option in the grub menu .. run that for a day or so
[10:16] <silidan> a memtest command?
[10:16] <Slart> silidan: it's best to run it from a live cd or from the grub menu..
[10:16] <silidan> one day or so...
[10:17] <kennyyu> hi there, how can i check if my server is heavily paging or not?
[10:17] <silidan> no option
[10:17] <koshari> kennyyu top?
[10:17] <silidan> but what can i do to find out why synaptic or apt-get do segfault atm?
[10:17] <Slart> silidan: there are some memory checkers you can run while the system is running too.. but you won't be able to check all your memory that way
[10:18] <kennyyu> koshari: thanks.. but which number should i read? i thought it only tells me what processes are running there
[10:18] <Faithful> Is there any resolution on the notebook overheating issue in Jaunty?
[10:19] <koshari> kennyyu will tell you % of memory also
[10:19] <silidan> sixxxx: by the way what game are you trying to play?
[10:19] <indus> update notifier where are you
[10:19] <kennyyu> koshari: ar.. understood.

[10:26] <indus> varun: see?
[10:27] <aim> ikonia: are you there?
[10:27] <varun> umm no

[10:27] <varun> yes

[10:27] <zetheroo1> I have been trying to get my documents to open with another program than Abiword in Xubuntu but nothing I try works
[10:27] <indus> add your theme you downloaded

[10:28] <ikonia> aim: has anything stopped working yet ?
[10:28] <zetheroo1> this is very frustrating ... its like Abiword will not back off from opening documents
[10:28] <aim> But not sure if it coincides with the stopping working.
[10:28] <aim> yeah it has.
[10:28] <aim> those spikes in times appear more often though.
[10:29] <ikonia> aim: can you try to match it up - as you can see at some point your link to your modem goes from 1 ms, to almost 1 second which is a mssive slow down
[10:29] <varun> yes done tnx
[10:29] <aim> ok, will try.
[10:29] <indus> kk
[10:29] <v3trae> zetheroo1: might want to try in #xubuntu chan

[10:36] <dima_> any news from the ATI open source driver developers?!?
[10:36] <aim> Yes, but atm, I'm the only one on the wireless.
[10:36] <aim> we have a wireless router/switch connected to a gigabit switch, connected to a modem.
[10:36] <v3trae> aim: install etherape, it'll let you monitor all network traffic, let you see if someone else is spiking when your pings die.
[10:36] <ikonia> aim: that is possible that your modem is congested
[10:36] <ikonia> aim: that would explain the slow down

[10:42] <ikonia> aim: ok - so there is a problem, you have created a user called hamish that is not in the admin group
[10:42] <v3trae> aim: you have to put yourself into the sudoers file if you haven't already.
[10:42] <ikonia> v3trae: he needs to be in the admin group
[10:42] <aim> ikonia: I only have one user.

[10:43] <myself> well be as rough as you want actually
[10:43] <ikonia> aim: you're missing a lot of groups
[10:44] <ikonia> aim: you'll need to boot into "recovery" mode and do a "usermod -G admin hamish"
[10:44] <aim> ikonia:  apparently, I was fiddling with the terminal before... should teach me a lesson lol :P
[10:44] <aim> ikonia: What do I need to input?

[10:44] <aim> ikonia: is that all?
[10:45] <aim> ikonia: I can then reboot?
[10:45] <v3trae> ikonia: excuse me if i'm wrong but he couldn't he just SU and run that command?
[10:45] <ActionParsnip1> yo yo yo
[10:45] <ikonia> aim: that's it
[10:45] <v3trae> ikonia: assuming he has set a root password at some point?
[10:45] <ikonia> v3trae: the root user has no password, if he has set a password then sure
[10:45] <aim> ikonia: I have a root password.
[10:45] <ActionParsnip1> aim: its less secure if you have one
[10:45] <ikonia> aim: then su -
[10:45] <v3trae> aim: if you have a root password then just su and run the command ikonia gave you
[10:46] <aim> ikonia: atleast I'm pretty sure I do

[10:49] <xbmc666> how can i know which id a disk has, like /dev/sdb2 or similar?
[10:49] <ikonia> aim: "su -" will make you root, then do usermod -G admin hamish

[10:50] <aim> ikonia: Ah yeah no root pw.
[10:50] <ActionParsnip1> JoeM: not really ugly, its cli....
[10:50] <aim> ikonia:  well I assume authentication failure means not root PW.
[10:50] <v3trae> aim: then do the recovery mode like ikonia suggested

[10:58] <Slart> papul: you can either use desklets or run "gconf-editor" from a command line and go to "Apps, Nautilus, Desktop" and put a checkmark in the box for "trash_icon_visible"
[10:58] <aim> I guess only for a few min I should be sweet.
[10:59] <aim> ok it's runnig now
[10:59] <v3trae> aim: k, watch your ping, and watch for big spikes in etherape
[10:59] <v3trae> if you see one, figure out where they're going from/to, then you can figure out if another user is pumping a lot of traffic
[11:01] <aim> v3trae, Oh this is cool... it gives the entire networks information...
[11:01] <v3trae> aim: yessir, i like it
[11:01] <aim> This could be quite useful in the flat, figuring out who the bandwidth whores are, can it be logged?
[11:01] <aim> ok brbr

[11:13] <awk> hrm.... strange problem after edit /etc/network/interfaces I add iface eth2 inet static && address <IP_ADDRESS> && netmask <IP_ADDRESS> && gateway <IP_ADDRESS>   issue is when I restart  networking and check ifconfig that eth2 device is not coming up... even after a reboot.. if I set eth2 to dhcp it picks up a dhcp ip?
[11:13] <richardcavell> thanks, actionparsnip
[11:13] <linux> hi
[11:14] <moncky> !ask | linux
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> awk: try: auto eth2 just above it
[11:14] <richardcavell> I use mail.com webmail as my primary email. The text entry box is wider than the screen on FF3.5
[11:15] <awk> ActionParsnip: ok thanks
[11:15] <richardcavell> And no scrollbar appears at the bottom so it's impossible to display some of the text.
[11:15] <ActionParsnip> awk: it will then come up automagically
[11:15] <awk> ActionParsnip: blah, works... sorry ...
[11:15] <richardcavell> It's a bug because when typing an email, I can type text into areas that cannot be displayed. In fact I don't have any other option
[11:15] <linux> i wanna work with gtk i've installed it and did the make what do i need to do to get it running
[11:15] <ruslanr> richardcavell: I see
[11:15] <richardcavell> FF3.0.11 doesn't have any issue
[11:16] <ActionParsnip> awk: makes system boot faster too as dhcp doesnt need to take place
[11:16] <vigo> Thunderbird works fine for me.
[11:16] <gangil> !opera
[11:16] <richardcavell> I want to keep all my email in the cloud because I trust an external provider more than my internal hard disk

[11:17] <weedar> GNOME doesn't starte gnome-panel at login (I disabled it while trying out AWN..), but no I have no panel, dock (AWN,gnome-do,..) or any running program when I start Gnome - how can I start a program or at least spawn an xterm every time Gnome starts?

[11:17] <ActionParsnip> !startup
[11:18] <richardcavell> I keep all my really important emails at hotmail. Say what you like about Microsoft but I know that if those emails are ever lost, we're probably in a nuclear holocaust
[11:18] <Krenari> can anyone recommand me something
[11:18] <ActionParsnip> Krenari: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[11:18] <ActionParsnip> !ide
[11:18] <richardcavell> Krenari, you're asking for an IDE to do some C++ coding, right?
[11:18] <Krenari> yeah
[11:18] <Krenari> and a compiler
[11:19] <Krenari> im very new in ubuntu :0
[11:19] <vigo> VIM!
[11:19] <richardcavell> Krenari, I've heard good things about eclipse
[11:19] <Krenari> yeah i like eclips too
[11:19] <Krenari> i have used in windows
[11:19] <ActionParsnip> Krenari: build-essential will give you a c/c++ compiler + common libs
[11:19] <richardcavell> I can't imagine writing a proper program in gedit. Apple apparently built Safari using XCode
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> richardcavell: use nano then :)
[11:20] <richardcavell> I need to have tooltips and class wizards and a dialog editor just to get Hello, World
[11:20] <Krenari> ActionParsnip: im installing
[11:20] <Krenari> can u tell me how ot install eclipse
[11:20] <linux> i wanna work with gtk i've installed it and did the make what do i need to do to get it running?
[11:20] <richardcavell> I like Visual C++. It makes programming easier.
[11:20] <vigo> richardcavell: Tried Ruby?
[11:21] <richardcavell> No, vigo
[11:21] <vigo> Ruby is a solid rock stomper
[11:21] <richardcavell> Okay. Is it a frontend for GNU CC?
[11:22] <_kl_> list
[11:22] <Krenari> richardcavell: i dont want microsoft products here :D
[11:22] <richardcavell> Years ago I did some coding on Visual C++, and it made testing and debugging so much faster
[11:22] <weedar> ActionParsnip: Without gnome-panel I don't have a System-button to click - I login to a completely empty screen, all I see is the background image and the mouse pointer
[11:22] <richardcavell> I was doing server/client stuff, and I needed to compile the client and transport it to another computer and run it and debug it, over and over again
[11:22] <vigo> Is rather independent, but in the same sense it is iteroperational with Mic/Appl or even Basic
[11:23] <richardcavell> would have driven me nuts doing that with nano and gcc from the command line
[11:23] <vigo> Look at ruby.org
[11:23] <richardcavell> okay, vigo, I'll take a look at it
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> weedar: press alt+f2 and type: gnome-panel
[11:23] <richardcavell> I want to stay with gcc because I want to build OS X Apps, and Apple have modified GCC to do Universal binaries
[11:23] <MikeChelen> !ff3.5
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> weedar: theres these too: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=840105

[11:24] <ActionParsnip> weedar: bizzarre, thats common to all de's even fluxbox and lxde
[11:24] <Theeb__> hi, why is firefox slow when i run flash videos, but not on seamonkey? i have flash installed from adobe website
[11:25] <richardcavell> Theeb, are you using the 64-bit FF/Flash?
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> Theeb__: seamonkey is lighter, do you have the same addons in both?
[11:25] <weedar> I've even tried moving to a shell (alt + ctrl + 1) and set the DISPLAY environment variable to :0 and then running GUI apps...Firefox and some others work, but unfortunately not gnome-panel, gnome-terminal and anything else useful I could think of :/
[11:25] <richardcavell> The 64-bit Flash isn't real good IMHO
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> richardcavell: works awesome here
[11:25] <Theeb__> ActionParsnip, I didnt put anything on them, so no
[11:25] <richardcavell> ActionParsnip, I have trouble with youtube
[11:25] <weedar> ActionParsnip: That link to the forums is probably my best bet, thanks!
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> richardcavell: i dont use the repo one as its never worked in 64bit for me
[11:26] <richardcavell> mind you, it is labelled as 'alpha' release, so I suppose I shouldn't complain
[11:27] <richardcavell> ActionParsnip, until you said that I didn't know there was a repo one!
[11:27] <sleepy_cat> _nick
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> !info flash-installer
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> !info adobe-installer
[11:28] <richardcavell> there is flashplugin-installer
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> something like that
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> apt-cache search flash | grep install
[11:28] <Theeb__> when will they update the seamonkey to the latest version, i kinda have no idea how to install the update :p
[11:28] <vigo> Gnash sorta works.
[11:28] <richardcavell> all that does is download the Adobe add-on
[11:28] <ubuntistas> when firefox is gone be updated by the canonical staff?
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> Theeb__: depends how you installed it
[11:28] <richardcavell> !flashplugin-installer
[11:29] <ActionParsnip> richardcavell: its !info <package>
[11:29] <Theeb__> ActionParsnip, by the add/remove
[11:29] <vigo> Theeb_: Look at Pshycocats or the Forums, that is covered very well and step by step.
[11:29] <richardcavell> !info flashplugin-installer
[11:29] <ActionParsnip> Theeb__: then it will come down when te new version is added to one of your repos
[11:29] <richardcavell> yeah, all it does is download the Adobe one
[11:30] <richardcavell> I doubt that anyone could improve on the Adobe one
[11:30] <awesomez> firefox is getting worse & worse :(
[11:30] <ActionParsnip> richardcavell: not te 64bit ine as far as ive seen. it uses a wrapper
[11:30] <Theeb__> ActionParsnip, hehe k, but it is taking too long ;P
[11:30] <richardcavell> that might be preferable until they get the 64-bit one working right. Are you using the wrapper, Parsnip?
[11:31] <Krenari> ActionParsnip: thank you ! g++ is working fine !
[11:31] <ubuntistas> when firefox is gone be updated by the canonical staff?
[11:31] <ActionParsnip> Theeb__: its open source / gpl. They could stop development and you can complain all you want but they have no contracts or oblifation to do anything
[11:31] <ActionParsnip> !ff3.5 | ubuntistas
[11:33] <ActionParsnip> Krenari: no worries duder
[11:33] <Theeb__> ActionParsnip, lol i wasnt complaining man
[11:33] <prathamesh> for ultimate ubuntu is there other channel
[11:33] <ActionParsnip> Theeb__: no worries dude :D. Just how it is
[11:34] <indus> anyone here knows how to get the old notification back?
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> prathamesh: #ubuntu-offtopic is my guess
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> prathamesh: why not install an official release
[11:34] <prathamesh> ActionParsnip: i dont want offtopic
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> prathamesh: then you will be supported in the official room?
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> prathamesh: well its not here, thats for sure
[11:35] <ActionParsnip> prathamesh: whats different in ultimate to a regular ubuntu install?
[11:36] <prathamesh> ActionParsnip: i just asked
[11:38] <indus> prathamesh: ultimate just comes preinstalled with all the stuff you would generally install in regular ubuntu
[11:38] <prathamesh> i am using pidgin for internet chat messenger for chatting. when i tried ti open any irc channel in pidgin. my pidgin get crashed.
[11:39] <vigo> !irc
[11:39] <ActionParsnip> prathamesh: its a derivative of and comes with lots of extra fluff but will be packaged differently to ubuntu so is hard to support
[11:39] <indus> prathamesh: dont use pidgin for irc, xchat is the preferred tool for irc
[11:39] <ActionParsnip> prathamesh: all i can suggest is you close pidgin fully and rename ~/.purple
[11:39] <ActionParsnip> indus: why is xchat "preffered"
[11:39] <wapko> i like irssi, even in x
[11:40] <ActionParsnip> indus: i've used pidgin for irc since it was gaim
[11:40] <indus> ActionParsnip: cos it easier to configure for irc?
[11:40] <richardcavell> I'm using chatzilla. Is that a good choice?
[11:40] <prathamesh> currently i am using Konversation
[11:40] <ActionParsnip> indus: not really
[11:40] <Mobi> #ubuntu-de
[11:40] <ActionParsnip> indus: add an account, set irc then add server and screen name
[11:40] <indus> ActionParsnip: it doesnt even show you list of irc servers or channels
[11:41] <indus> ActionParsnip: sorry,but i cant figure it out, and since a lot of ppl here do use x chat, i said its preferred
[11:41] <vigo> Pidgin has been having problems lately, or so read. xchat, has a nice Gnome frontend/GUI
[11:41] <Simply_Lion> hi guys
[11:41] <ActionParsnip> indus: you can go to main window. tools -> room list
[11:41] <ActionParsnip> indus: then select the account you want te room list for
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> indus: in the computer community, windows is more used. Is that "preffered" too
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> ?
[11:42] <indus> ActionParsnip: what are you talking about? add account irc, then what
[11:42] <indus> ActionParsnip: there is no server list at all
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> indus: if you add an account and connect
[11:42] <prathamesh> ActionParsnip: can u tell me what exactly to do. which file or folder hav to remane ~/.purple
[11:43] <ActionParsnip> indus: then in the main window click tools -> room list
[11:43] <richardcavell> I'm thinking of downloading xchat. Do you think I should?
[11:43] <ActionParsnip> prathamesh: killall pidgin; mv ~/.purple ~/.purple_old
[11:43] <indus> ActionParsnip: i dont think you understand? how do i select a server ?
[11:44] <ActionParsnip> indus: you type its name
[11:44] <indus> ActionParsnip: all it shows is irc.ubuntu.com
[11:44] <indus> ActionParsnip: and who will give me the name?
[11:44] <ActionParsnip> indus: you find the server you want to connect to
[11:44] <indus> ActionParsnip: from where?
[11:44] <ActionParsnip> indus: the web
[11:44] <indus> ActionParsnip: xchat has that list, pidgin doesnt
[11:44] <ActionParsnip> indus: never said it didnt
[11:45] <indus> ActionParsnip: haha the web , so i hope you get the point now
[11:45] <richardcavell> I'm downloading xchat. 3 min 2 s remaining
[11:45] <indus> ActionParsnip: xchat makes it easier for you,
[11:45] <ActionParsnip> indus: no thats not te point. no irc  client is preffered is the point
[11:45] <ruadh>   /quit
[11:45] <indus> ActionParsnip: well, so now its back to that point then
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> indus: i'm not comparing functionlity. you are saying just because something is more used it is "preffered" which is preposterous
[11:46] <indus> ActionParsnip: whatever the case, pidgin is not preferred surely
[11:46] <vigo> !best
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> indus: it is to me
[11:46] <bazhang> indus, what is the issue
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> vigo: exactly
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> indus: i only use pidgin for all chats
[11:46] <bazhang> indus, you having trouble connecting to other servers or what
[11:47] <indus> people trying to argue about whats right and whats not, when all iam doing is helping someone
[11:47] <prathamesh> ActionParsnip: thanks
[11:47] <Simply_Lion> can anyone tell me how protected is ubuntu on IRC, and secondly by starting a firewall how much protection does that give? or do i need to make personal adjustments?
[11:47] <vigo> And best-bot is FUN.
[11:47] <ActionParsnip> bazhang: indus is saying xchat is "the preffered irc client" which is a ridiculous statement
[11:47] <bazhang> indus, please chat about best etc in #ubuntu-offtopic thanks
[11:47] <indus> i repeat again to the ops and to others . dont force your point down my throat
[11:47] <indus> ActionParsnip: no offence
[11:47] <ActionParsnip> prathamesh: get a proper install of ubuntu, you will be supported.
[11:48] <ActionParsnip> indus: i'm not i'm just saying what you are saying is false.
[11:48] <prathamesh> ActionParsnip: i am using ultimate ubuntu
[11:48] <awk> hrm, what is similar to rpm -qa ? to verify package information for installed packages?
[11:48] <bazhang> prathamesh, that is not supported here
[11:48] <ActionParsnip> prathamesh: its not an official relese so isnt supported in the official channel
[11:48] <indus> ActionParsnip: and what you are saying is not true either
[11:49] <ActionParsnip> awk: dpkg -l | less
[11:49] <indus> so we are even
[11:49] <bazhang> indus, please stop
[11:49] <awk> ActionParsnip: thanks
[11:49] <prathamesh> ActionParsnip: but now its working completly fine
[11:49] <vigo> awk: dkpg (then some -switch)
[11:49] <ActionParsnip> prathamesh: its still not supported here
[11:49] <indus> bazhang: ask parsnip to stop
[11:49] <elky> indus, the 'preferred' irc client is the one in the default installation.
[11:49] <awk> I was using apt-cache showpkg package but.... that was not for installed..
[11:49] <vigo> whoops, dpkg
[11:49] <indus> elky: isnt it xchat then
[11:49] <prathamesh> ActionParsnip: ohk fine
[11:49] <elky> indus, no.
[11:49] <dbugger> Hi guys!
[11:50] <awk> dam :( was hoping this new ubuntu had php 5.3 included :(
[11:50] <dbugger> Can someone please tell me how can I get a thumbnail from a video from the command line?
[11:50] <awk> any idea when php 5.3 will be released to ubuntu
[11:50] <shift_> Hello, does anyone have experience with using an external monitor on a laptop?
[11:50] <ActionParsnip> awk: apt-cache search php | less
[11:50] <richardcavell_> Okay, guys, I'm on xchat now
[11:51] <indus> so whats the preferred client for irc then ??
[11:51] <awk> ActionParsnip: its only php 5.2.6
[11:51] <dbugger> indus, I use xchat, but I dont like any. Im developing my own :D
[11:51] <ActionParsnip> indus: any you prefer, notice how I had stopped and you started up again
[11:51] <ActionParsnip> awk: then you need a repo with the later version on, or compile
[11:51] <indus> seriously, is there anything better?
[11:51] <bricks-> i can't browse my pictures on facebook anymore, is anyone experiencing the same problem?
[11:52] <richardcavell_> indus, I don't necessarily prefer xchat to chatzilla
[11:52] <rikki_max> indus: have u used kvirc?
[11:52] <vigo> irrsi
[11:52] <ActionParsnip> indus: imho no
[11:52] <iMatter> Is there a Mumbles in Ubuntu Repos?
[11:52] <vigo> Weechat
[11:52] <vigo> AIM
[11:52] <ActionParsnip> indus: but i use about 6 other protocols so it makes sense to use the irc functionality rather than have 2 apps
[11:52] <vigo> I can go on forever, there is no BEST.
[11:53] <indus> ActionParsnip: yes i too prefer pidgin, but i had to waste quite a bit of time googling for the undernet server name
[11:53] <ActionParsnip> indus: i'm sure you had to "google" a bit as well to get your pc setup after the install
[11:53] <indus> ActionParsnip: so i was forced to go to xchat ,which is great btw, but i will try chatzilla too
[11:53] <rikki_max> indus: have u tried kvirc?
[11:54] <indus> ActionParsnip: true, so this saves time doesnt it
[11:54] <indus> rikki_max: no not yet
[11:54] <bricks-> lol you all have totally passed me by
[11:54] <ActionParsnip> indus: same process, same mentality
[11:54] <rikki_max> indus: it is the better of the ones i have tried if u r used to msl scripting
[11:54] <prathamesh> when i tried to open home folder then it directly onening into the kaffine palyer
[11:54] <indus> ActionParsnip: leave it.
[11:54] <bazhang> prathamesh, in ultimate?
[11:55] <prathamesh> nope
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> indus: i did, you started it p again. i was talking to prathamesh
[11:55] <prathamesh> in ubuntu
[11:55] <prathamesh> my friend getting this problem
[11:55] <bazhang> prathamesh, thought you just said you were using ultimate
[11:55] <prathamesh> but my friend using ubuntu
[11:55] <richardcavell_> in xchat, how do I turn off messages that say that someone has entered/left?
[11:56] <bazhang> prathamesh, go to ultimate support for help with "ultimate"
[11:56] <bazhang> richardcavell_, right click channel name
[11:56] <prathamesh> bazhang: my friend getting this problem
[11:56] <prathamesh> bazhang: he is using ubuntu 9.04
[11:56] <bazhang> prathamesh, we need to ask your friend some questions
[11:56] <richardcavell_> aha! Thanks, bazhang. I knew it had to be easy.
[11:56] <prathamesh> bazhang: what question
[11:57] <bazhang> prathamesh, to troubleshoot his Ubuntu
[11:57] <prathamesh> bazhang: so ask me na i will ask it to him
[11:57] <prathamesh> bazhang: i just want solution
[11:58] <indus> ActionParsnip: pm
[11:58] <bazhang> prathamesh, easier to talk with your friend directly.
[11:59] <wapko> dbugger: you can use mplayer : mplayer -vo jpeg -frames 1 movie.avi
[11:59] <pinoyskull> hi, anybody has experience with using Huawei E220?
[11:59] <prathamesh> can anybody help me what to do. my friend using ubuntu 9.04 from last few days he getting some problem while opening home folder. when he tried to open his home folder then the caffine player is open
[11:59] <wapko> dbugger: that gives you the first frame, if you want later frames specify the starttime with -ss option. replace jpeg with png if you want png
[12:00] <temporarytao> hi, looking for help on using airdump-ng
[12:00] <bazhang> prathamesh, this is Kubuntu then?
[12:00] <dbugger> ty wapko!
[12:00] <bazhang> temporarytao, #aircrack
[12:00] <temporarytao> cool, thanks
[12:00] <pinoyskull> prathamesh, somebody mess up that shortcut then
[12:00] <vigo> prathamesh: Has the freind tried a Recovery thing or a dpkg fix?
[12:00] <prathamesh> bazhang: bullshit just get lost
[12:01] <prathamesh> pinoyskull: so what hav to exactly do
[12:01] <bazhang> prathamesh, watch the language
[12:01] <temporarytao> another thing. i have an existing ubuntu 9.04 setup and i want to lighten it up (in the direction of crunchbang)
[12:01] <temporarytao> suggestions?
[12:01] <prathamesh> bazhang: watch ur answers
[12:01] <bazhang> temporarytao, install openbox
[12:01] <iMatter> night everyone..
[12:01] <n0gearII> nomachinr doesnt work with xfce?
[12:01] <wapko> dbugger: for scaling it you might want to play with the -vf scale option
[12:01] <pinoyskull> prathamesh, how does he access his homefolder?
[12:01] <temporarytao> bazhang, what's a good file manager to go with openbox?
[12:02] <dbugger> noted down! thanks ;)
[12:02] <dbugger> i'll do tuning later :)
[12:02] <bazhang> temporarytao, that is the one used with crunchbang
[12:02] <pinoyskull> prathamesh, how does he access his homefolder?
[12:02] <bazhang> temporarytao, better still would be lxde or the like
[12:03] <shift_> how do I allow a user to startx?
[12:03] <prathamesh> pinoyskull: he just click on places & then click on home
[12:03] <shift_> (to avoid using root)
[12:03] <vigo> !sudo
[12:03] <bazhang> shift_, you want to login using user pass (sudo)
[12:04] <th0r> shift_: normal users should already have access to startx
[12:04] <shift_> th0r, X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting.
[12:04] <temporarytao> i got the openbox part. that's the window manager, right?
[12:04] <temporarytao> what about the file manager? for one thing, i'd like something with a trash box at least. :)
[12:04] <th0r> shift_: then something has gone amiss, I am running jaunty and the default for startx is 755
[12:04] <temporarytao> bazhang: lxde is the file manager? or is that the window manager?
[12:04] <prathamesh> pinoyskull: hey what to do
[12:05] <bazhang> temporarytao, not up on openbox tbh, know more about lxde (metapackage that pulls in other stuff as well)
[12:05] <shift_> th0r, I think the user needs to be in some group or something
[12:05] <prathamesh> pinoyskull: is there any solution on it
[12:05] <th0r> shift_: nope....those permissions give execute to the world
[12:05] <temporarytao> hmmm...googling lxde
[12:05] <bazhang> temporarytao, its in the repos
[12:05] <shift_> th0r, I can execute the file fine... it's just that it refuses to run X, giving the error message I pasted below.
[12:05] <stefhand> bonjour
[12:06] <bazhang> !info lxde | temporarytao
[12:06] <stefhand> qq1 peut m'aider?
[12:06] <stefhand> a l'aide !
[12:06] <bazhang> stefhand, #ubuntu-fr pour francais
[12:06] <stefhand> plz
[12:06] <deveah> I was here before, right?
[12:06] <temporarytao> bazhang: so if i use that, i can just choose it from the login screen?
[12:06] <bazhang> temporarytao, correct
[12:06] <th0r> shift_: odd. I haven't done it in years, but it should be ok to set up the system to boot to the login prompt and not run X unless requested by the user. I used to run my servers that way
[12:07] <shift_> th0r, yeah, that's the idea here... people seem to be suggesting sudo, but I would much rather avoid it.
[12:08] <deveah> I came back with fresh errors! :D
[12:08] <th0r> shift_: I would want to avoid that also. Check further into the issue as you should be able to do what you want
[12:08] <vise> Hi, is xmms player available form Gnome, Ubuntu Intrepid? I can't find a package.. There is something called xmm2 client or something.. But it doesnt seem to be the player... Any ideas?

[12:09] <th0r> shift_: http://kerneltrap.org/node/2200
[12:10] <shift_> th0r, sudo dpkg-reconfigure x11-common
[12:10] <shift_> th0r, think it will work now.
[12:10] <th0r> shift_: according to that link (an old thread) it might be a path issue
[12:10] <tunx> hello. when i try to boot hd(0,6), i got error 15 file not found.

[12:14] <gidna> Hi
[12:14] <gidna> I want to coppy all files in a directory to another no the directory itself
[12:14] <shift_> th0r, nice
[12:14] <gidna> How can I do it?
[12:14] <^Alita> 128 mb :( you think it's the swap?
[12:14] <psypointer> ziroday: thank you!
[12:14] <michael__> hi how to resize partition?
[12:15] <ziroday> psypointer: have fun
[12:15] <vise> ^Alita, Very much... Normal usage of RAM on my pc is 500 MB... 1GB is required.. unless you use the text mode.. :)
[12:15] <shift_> gidna, cp source/* dest/, or better yet rsync source/ dest/ -av .... that should work
[12:15] <vigo> micheal__: gparted or some such thing
[12:15] <vigo> !gparted
[12:15] <^Alita> i'm using xfce on xubuntu and only firefox and xchat
[12:16] <michael__> i unmount the drive and then how do i resize it?
[12:16] <vise> ^Alita, Try not using firefox for some time and see if it helps.. If it does, we will have to tweak firefox..
[12:16] <ActionParsnip1> ^Alita: you could run swiftfox or kazenchaze for a lighter gecko based browser
[12:16] <vigo> micheal__: That might be an fdisk thing
[12:17] <vigo> micheal__: What file system is the drive using?
[12:17] <shift_> gidna, I may be wrong but I think if you use the directory itself, then it will copy the directory, but if you add / at the end of it, it will copy what's in the directory.. not sure though
[12:17] <temporarytao> michael__: you need gparted to resize a partition
[12:17] <gidna> ok thank you
[12:17] <gidna> i did it
[12:17] <gidna> I should put /*
[12:17] <th0r> ^Alita: with only 128MB it is almost certainly swap
[12:18] <^Alita> uhm, i will one of this. anyway, there is a way to know who is using the hd, like top for cpu and memory?
[12:18] <nixiepixel> I have an ubuntu studio machine where the system load average is up over 15 right now, and is crashing every time I try to do anything with it, even though no processes are taking up a large percentage of CPU or memory. But even terminal commands don't get run with a system load this high. What can I do to resolve this?
[12:19] <michael__> please see screenshot http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/9907/screenshotsly.png
[12:19] <deveah> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/devmapper/+bug/358654 this is exactly my problem
[12:19] <ActionParsnip1> ^Alita: you can use du to find out the size of folders and files
[12:20] <gidna> Hi
[12:20] <michael__> i just unmount sda5 i want to resize sda5 to smaller size and then increase the size of sda6, how do i do it?
[12:20] <CooosmiChaos> lol cd is busy, all windows are closed, howto unmount?
[12:20] <CooosmiChaos> kill nautilus once?
[12:20] <vise> ActionParsnip1, ^Alita requires processes doing IO at a given time (disk IO)
[12:20] <CooosmiChaos> it was a damaged cd backed via mondorestore
[12:20] <ActionParsnip1> vise: oic
[12:21] <gidna> How can I play videos using /win32 codecs with totem... I can with mplayer but I would with totem
[12:21] <^Alita> ActionParsnip1, yes, vise is righ
[12:21] <temporarytao> michael__: you want to make sda5 bigger, ryes?
[12:21] <michael__> no
[12:21] <vise> And apparently I too am curious as to what software can be used to view IO instead of CPU like top...
[12:21] <michael__> make sda5 smaller
[12:21] <temporarytao> sorry, missed your last msg
[12:21] <michael__> make sda6 bigger
[12:21] <shift_> How do I tell X which monitor to use, if I have VGA and the LVDS, what do I need to add to Xorg to only use one or the other?
[12:22] <^Alita> vise, yes, maybe very useful
[12:22] <gidna> How can I do that? it's a big matter

[12:39] <wers> i'm trying to connect to my ipod touch by running "ipod-touch-mount" but I get "ssh: connect to host ipod port 22: No route to host" any idea why? :)
[12:39] <deveah> can you read pms, Dr_willis?
[12:39] <_Kuba> wers: is it JB?
[12:39] <Dr_willis> I have pm's set to ignore deveah
[12:39] <deveah> okay...
[12:39] <deveah> Ubuntu doesn't boot.
[12:39] <wers> _Kuba, yep. 2.2.1
[12:39] <Dr_willis> deveah:  from what i am reading at that url you gave - they give several possible fix's to try.
[12:39] <wers> 2nd gen
[12:40] <ninjafury> can anyone please help, google/forums haven't helped. I can't get my centrino nvidia laptop running jaunty 64 with latest nvidia (binary) drivers to auto suspend. Laptop screen just goes to black with a cursor and cpu still runs. can anyone PLEASE help?
[12:40] <deveah> yes, Dr_willis, but I'm a complete noob, can you tell me exactly what steps I need to do?
[12:40] <_Kuba> wers: wifi on? ;]
[12:40] <_Kuba> wers: openssh-server on ipod installed?
[12:40] <Dr_willis> type the commands they gave   'sudo dpkg-reconfigure WHATEVER'
[12:41] <deveah> dpkg-reconfigure udev ?
[12:41] <miloz> hi, I tried install windows under qemu with kqemu, but the speed was really slow. Any VM solution will be better than qemu?
[12:41] <wers> _Kuba, wifi on, openssh installed through cydia. i'll search the openssh-server package
[12:41] <deveah> "and then return mkinitramfs"
[12:41] <deveah>  ?
[12:41] <ninjafury> anyone?
[12:42] <fawcao> ?
[12:42]  * Dr_willis quotes the site (last entry) --->   so for me the fix was to run "aptitude reinstall udev" and then "update-initramfs -u -k all"
[12:42] <deveah> okay
[12:42] <_Kuba> Anyone could help with my notifies/buble connected problem?
[12:42] <deveah> thanks
[12:42] <_Kuba> :)
[12:42] <Dr_willis> that might fix it -- might not..
[12:42] <wers> _Kuba, i dont have the BSD subsystem package as "Installer" doesnt update anymore and it's not on cydia. could that be the problem?
[12:42] <anteaterNethack> hi.  i run karmic.  can i ask a question about gdm here, or is there a better channel+
[12:42] <anteaterNethack> ?
[12:42] <wers> _Kuba, what's your prob with the notify-osd?
[12:43] <Dr_willis> anteaterNethack:  try #ubuntu+1
[12:43] <anteaterNethack> thanks.
[12:43] <deveah> Dr_willis - from that BusyBox shell?
[12:43] <Dr_willis> anteaterNethack:  unless its a real generic gdm question
[12:43] <Dr_willis> deveah:  they seem to imply you boot a live cd, and chroot into the existing install
[12:43] <_Kuba> wers: only one bubble is seen at once
[12:43] <harjot> wers:  your nME IS ALLAN
[12:43] <^Alita> vise, i found someting: iotop
[12:44] <anteaterNethack> dr_willis: ok, the question is: the option for just using the users .xsession instead of a registered window manager does not exist anymore.  what to do?
[12:44]  * harjot knows everybodies names
[12:44] <deveah> gotta fix shit, bye
[12:44] <wers> _Kuba, oh. happens to me too...
[12:44] <harjot> anteaterNethack: your name is matthias
[12:44] <bazhang> deveah, watch the language
[12:44] <_Kuba> wers: Eg. here are 2 at one moment: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotifyOSD?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=notification-bubble.jpg
[12:45] <Dr_willis> anteaterNethack:  make a .desktop file to use the .xsession perhaps..  (gdm gets all the sessions from a set of *.desktop files)
[12:45] <anteaterNethack> harjot, yes, it is.  why?
[12:45] <prathamesh_> how to setup cable net / sify broadband in ubuntu.
[12:45] <bazhang> harjot, take chat elsewhere please
[12:45] <Dr_willis> anteaterNethack:  try 'locate gdm.desktop' to see where they are at.
[12:45] <harjot> i just felt like finding your ip adresses
[12:45] <_Kuba> wers: and there should be openssh-server package in cydia's repo
[12:45] <bazhang> !ot > harjot
[12:45] <Dr_willis> anteaterNethack:  its possible thers some premade .desktop files for that.. but not in the proper place by default
[12:46] <anteaterNethack> dr_willis, ok.  i can do that.  i already looked into it, but was not sure if this was the preferred "default" root.
[12:46] <_Kuba> wers: have You tried ssh-ing into ipod manually?
[12:46] <Dr_willis> anteaterNethack:  if you have access to an olkder release with the option, you could see what desktop  file/config its using.
[12:46] <anteaterNethack> ok.
[12:46] <wers> _Kuba, i seem to have it installed. do i really need bsd subsystem? How do i ssh manually?
[12:47] <cwok> kk
[12:48] <anteaterNethack> dr_willis, thanks.  i will look into #ubuntu+1, too.  and if they don't suggest anything else there, I'll go your route.
[12:48] <_Kuba> wers: I meant `ssh root@ipods-ip`
[12:48] <wers> _Kuba, i simply want to transfer music using ubuntu. i'm trying to run "ipod-touch-mount" just because it's in howtos. what's the most decent way you can suggest for me to transfer music?
[12:48]  * Miki2 wait for torchwood children of the earth
[12:48] <ikonia> Miki2: ?
[12:48] <Dr_willis> anteaterNethack:  thats ius how GDM gets its sessions.. i doubt if its changed in the next release much. :)
[12:48] <Miki2> nothing...
[12:49] <_Kuba> wers: Dunno then
[12:49] <anteaterNethack> dr_willis, probably. :o)
[12:49] <_Kuba> wers: Try googling ubuntu wiki pages
[12:49] <richardcavell_> Does anyone know - is there a way to throttle the bandwidth that each of my Internet programs get?
[12:49] <_Kuba> wers: There is setup guide
[12:49] <bazhang> richardcavell_, trickle ?
[12:49] <bazhang> !info trickle | richardcavell_
[12:49] <_Kuba> wers: Maybe it helps you

[12:51] <hawken> Who wants to play werewolf in irc.bergnetworks.com/#werewolf
[12:51] <Dr_willis> anteaterNethack:  there might be some package that has the proper .desktop file somewhere..   i recall some example ones being in other placces
[12:51] <hawken> ?
[12:51] <hawken> We need two more.
[12:51] <ikonia> hawken: please don't spam/recruit in here

[12:55] <richardcavell_> trickle is command line... anything with a GUI?
[12:55] <draciron> Greetings folks... Got a problem with upgrading 7.10 get 404 errs every time I try.
[12:55] <ziroday> !upgrade | draciron read the 7.10 -> 8.04 section
[12:56] <draciron> That is with an apt-get upgrade or from GUI package managers.
[12:56] <draciron> Can't move up a version, using a Dell laptop with propriatory drivers.
[12:56] <ziroday> !upgrade | draciron
[12:58] <draciron> I think I stated my question poorly. Apt-get and GUI package mgrs give me 404 errs when I try to do updates.
[12:58] <ikonia> draciron: look in /etc/apt/sources.list and check the URL's for your repos
[12:58] <BladeNBrocade> did your souces.lst change?
[12:58] <jeffs> hi, i'm new to ubuntu. can some one show me how to install packages that are downloaded from the internet?
[12:58] <salil__> Ok.. http://guichaz.free.fr/iotop/  is a program that will allow you to view the IO activity processwise.. Use python setup.py build and python setup.py install to install it... Then use iotop at shell... Nice application.. :)
[12:58] <draciron> I didn't change it.
[12:58] <ziroday> draciron: 7.10 is EOL, you need to use old-releases to upgrade. Read the factoid ubottu gave you earlier
[12:58] <os11> is it possible to resize a partition which ubuntu is running on that partition?
[12:58] <ikonia> !synaptic > jeffs
[12:58] <BladeNBrocade> why not iostat?
[12:59] <ikonia> jeffs: visit https://help.ubuntu.com and read the new users guide
[12:59] <draciron> I tried to install flash from adobe and not been able to install since.
[12:59] <ikonia> davenpro: you don't install it from adobe, you install it from the repo
[12:59] <draciron> ziroday I have propriatory drivers. Can't upgrade.
[12:59] <ziroday> draciron: why not?
[12:59] <ikonia> os11: not while it's running
[12:59] <BladeNBrocade> u can upgrade
[12:59] <BladeNBrocade> u just need to recompile after
[13:00] <draciron> Without drivers I'll have no vid, sound, etc.
[13:00] <BladeNBrocade> ..
[13:00] <roshan08> hello all, i am developing an application for blogging from desktop, i want to release a deb for ubuntu, how do i get the deb into ubuntu repo
[13:00] <salil__> BladeNBrocade, Since it doesnt tell you which process is doing the io...
[13:00] <richardcavell_> draciron, how unique is your laptop? Are you sure 9.04 won't work?
[13:00] <draciron> I don't have src for drivers. It's a Dell, came with Ubuntu pre-installed
[13:00] <ziroday> draciron: you can reinstall the drivers after the upgrade, or it will be done automatically for you during the upgrade.
[13:00] <Kartagis> is there a way to get firefox 3.5 in Turkish but from the repos?
[13:00] <ikonia> roshan08: read the "motu" process on wiki.ubuntu.com
[13:00] <draciron> Inspiron 1525
[13:00] <roshan08> ikonia, cool
[13:00] <richardcavell_> Kartagis, no, we can't even get the English version eyt
[13:00] <BladeNBrocade> there has to be some switch for that..
[13:00] <ziroday> Kartagis: no, as FF3.5 is not in the repo's
[13:00] <richardcavell_> yet
[13:00] <aim> Is there a linux chat program that runs on the MSN network?
[13:00] <Titan8990> roshan08, join #ubuntu-dev, most of the time it will sit in a 3rd party repo before it makes its way into the main
[13:01] <ziroday> aim: pidgin does
[13:01] <Titan8990> aim, pigdin
[13:01] <ikonia> aim: pidgin
[13:01] <roshan08> Titan8990, ok
[13:01] <iceroot> ziroday: ff3.5 is not in the repos?
[13:01] <DhavaL_> has anyone been able to Dual Boot 9.04?
[13:01] <ziroday> iceroot: correct
[13:01] <draciron> Tarball is easy enough with FF anyway.
[13:01] <ikonia> davenpro: many people
[13:01] <richardcavell_> Dhaval, I'm booting it
[13:01] <ikonia> DhavaL_: many people
[13:01] <richardcavell_> dual booting with OS X
[13:01] <iceroot> ziroday: look at apt-cache search firefox-3.5  it is in the repos
[13:01] <DhavaL_> Well, did you have to delete your existing partitions
[13:01] <ziroday> iceroot: not final.
[13:01] <draciron> I always use the tarballs so I don't have to wait for the archives.
[13:01] <DhavaL_> ?
[13:01] <salil__> BladeNBrocade, No... Manual page says it only reports for devices and NFS...
[13:01] <BladeNBrocade> i guess ..iostat is based more on the device so ur right
[13:01] <ikonia> DhavaL_: no, but that will dpend on your personal setup
[13:01] <ianyue> aim: emesene also is a good choice.
[13:02] <richardcavell_> Dhaval, you can resize the existing partitions
[13:02] <BladeNBrocade> is true
[13:02] <DhavaL_> I have 30 GB free space
[13:02] <Kartagis> richardcavell_, deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/fta/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main it's here
[13:02] <richardcavell_> DhavaL, you can fit Ubuntu in there
[13:02] <DhavaL_> I tell it to install on the largest continuous partiton
[13:02] <iceroot> ziroday: so it will never be the final with jaunty?
[13:02] <draciron> So anyway I'm SOL on the 7.10 archives? They don't exist any more so that's why I'm getting the 404s?
[13:02] <ikonia> Kartagis: that is unsupported
[13:02] <Kartagis> it is?
[13:02] <ikonia> Kartagis: yes
[13:02] <DhavaL_> But in the pre instal screen it tells me that it is going to clear the partition tbale
[13:02] <laeg> could somebody point me in the right direct for setting up an openvpn on my ubuntu box to tunnel http/im traffic through for a windows box?
[13:02] <BladeNBrocade> draciron: likely yes
[13:03] <DhavaL_> So will I use all my other NTFS partitions?
[13:03] <aim> Does it? how?
[13:03] <aim> ikonia: How does pidgin do video?
[13:03] <aim> Ahhh, I forgot to mention video.
[13:03] <ikonia> aim: no
[13:03] <marissa> hi
[13:03] <draciron> Man that's pretty sad. No uprade path, no updates cept manual through tarballs.
[13:04] <richardcavell_> Kartagis, that's experimental
[13:04] <DhavaL_> Ikonia?
[13:04] <aim> ikonia: Is there a video chat one?
[13:04] <BladeNBrocade> is 7.10 supported?
[13:04] <DhavaL_> Will all my other partitions go *poof*?
[13:04] <BladeNBrocade> kopete does video i believe
[13:04] <marissa> i was wondering uno how do i get yahoo games or pogo games to play on my comp
[13:04] <draciron> It does?
[13:04] <richardcavell_> DhavaL, I don't see why you can't resize.
[13:04] <DhavaL_> Why would I want to resize
[13:04] <DhavaL_> I have 30 gb free space
[13:04] <BladeNBrocade> yes im sure,, which which clients im not
[13:04] <DhavaL_> I specify it to install on that free space
[13:04] <ikonia> DhavaL_: if you delete them - yes
[13:04] <draciron> Kapote doesn't do Yahoo vid, not unless I need to install something.
[13:04] <DhavaL_> why should it create a new partition table
[13:04] <richardcavell_> Dhaval, Okay, you want to put Ubuntu in there
[13:04] <BladeNBrocade> but kopete recognized my webcam fine on my dell laptop
[13:04] <DhavaL_> I do
[13:04] <richardcavell_> should work fine, DhavaL
[13:05] <ikonia> aim: not sure if amsn supports video
[13:05] <BladeNBrocade> draciron: i think u need to install something
[13:05] <DhavaL_> But it says that its going to create a new partition table.
[13:05] <aim> 'does kopete work on MSN network?
[13:05] <BladeNBrocade> yes
[13:05] <ziroday> aim: yep
[13:05] <richardcavell_> Are you using the Live CD installer? You should be able to do it graphically
[13:05] <DhavaL_> Yes I am using the LiveCD installer
[13:05] <DhavaL_> but i don't want a new partition table
[13:05] <richardcavell_> You can manually look at the start and end blocks of each partition before and after. They shouldn't change
[13:05] <aim> OK I'll try kopete, thanks guys
[13:05] <BladeNBrocade> np
[13:06] <salil__> DhavaL_, Have you selected guided partitioning or something?
[13:06] <richardcavell_> Well, it's going to edit the existing partition table
[13:06] <marissa> hello do you no how to install yahoo games on ubuntu or were to get games?
[13:06] <DhavaL_> Maybe yes.
[13:06] <DhavaL_> i just selected 'use largest continous free space'
[13:06] <DhavaL_> edit, not delete?
[13:06] <salil__> DhavaL_, Then it will change the partition table for creating swap IMHO..
[13:06] <DhavaL_> So I wil have all my other partitions,?
[13:07] <BladeNBrocade> yes
[13:07] <Foerdy> Hello there. Can anybody tell me how to look up an ip-adress in a windows-network? I got the computername of the client I want to look ab the ip-adress.
[13:07] <richardcavell_> DhavaL, you ought to be able to see where Ubuntu is going to go in. Can't you look at it manually?
[13:07] <salil__> DhavaL_, yes
[13:07] <ubuntunewbie> hi
[13:07] <BladeNBrocade> nslookup
[13:07] <DhavaL_> You sure salil?
[13:07] <DhavaL_> alright
[13:07] <BladeNBrocade> Foerdy: --> nslookup <host> <dnserver>
[13:07] <joaopinto> Foerdy, man nmblookup
[13:07] <DhavaL_> and what happens if I don't install the Boot Loader.
[13:07] <BladeNBrocade> man on windows?
[13:07] <Foerdy> thx!
[13:07] <richardcavell_> DhavaL, you want the boot loader somewhere
[13:07] <salil__> DhavaL_, you dont boot into ubuntu...
[13:07] <ubuntunewbie>  wanted to ask if I press ctrl+alt+backspace , how do I go back to login screen or gui ?
[13:07] <DhavaL_> I think it should show me 2 OS's when i press F8 and then i can choose right
[13:07] <DhavaL_> ?
[13:08] <lstarnes> ubuntunewbie: it should reload automatically
[13:08] <salil__> DhavaL_, No.. The bootloader will change..
[13:08] <richardcavell_> do you have GRUB somewhere else on your system?
[13:08] <DhavaL_> damn...
[13:08] <salil__> DhavaL_, But it will detect windows installations
[13:08] <DhavaL_> I know
[13:08] <joaopinto> BladeNBrocade, he wants to see the ip for a windows host, because he asking here I assume he is using Ubuntu
[13:08] <DhavaL_> But not installing grub will save me the trouble of trying to uninstall it later.
[13:08] <ubuntunewbie> lstarnes: ? I am using 8.04
[13:09] <BladeNBrocade> okies
[13:09] <Foerdy> yes i am using ubuntu
[13:09] <BladeNBrocade> host
[13:09] <lstarnes> ubuntunewbie: have you tried using ctrl+alt+backspace before?
[13:09] <BladeNBrocade> dig nm/nslookup etc would do the job
[13:09] <lstarnes> ubuntunewbie: when that is used, it usually closes out the currently running X server, but gdm or another display manager usually restarts it
[13:10] <DhavaL_> Hello?
[13:10] <lstarnes> ubuntunewbie: that display manager also manages the login screen
[13:10] <Foerdy> it works! thank you for your help :)
[13:10] <DhavaL_> Yes, so Salil, should I go ahead and instal ubuntu on the free space?
[13:10] <BladeNBrocade> =) yaay
[13:10] <ubuntunewbie> lstarnes: so what I need to type going back to login screen ?
[13:10] <DhavaL_> and I can dual boot with Grub?
[13:10] <lstarnes> ubuntunewbie: it will show up automatically
[13:11] <DhavaL_> ?  ?  ?
[13:11] <BladeNBrocade> DhavaL_: yes

[13:24] <deveahh> "The solution is to use a live-CD to mount the system (or boot from a completely separate installation), mount the failed OS partition(s), and complete the update process"
[13:24] <deveahh> how exactly?

[13:30] <testi> Recently i installed wine from winehq sources. Now it installed a few fonts, but I have the impression that these fonts are also used in other applications than wine (e.g. firefox). Is Verdana an original font preinstalled with Ubuntu? That font is displayed on a web page, and I really don't like the look of it. I don't think it's an original font.
[13:30] <dunks_> No it doesn't, Windows has the majority share
[13:30] <SolarisBoy> srry ... i was being human =)
[13:31] <SolarisBoy> and oh.. windows has majority of workstations

[13:33] <ubuntunewbie> hi , does anyone know how to play midi file ? using ubuntu 8.04 , i tried numerous player but non of them successfully play mid
[13:34] <DhavaL_> ikonia?
[13:34] <moncky> ubuntunewbie: you would need a midi sequencer
[13:34] <DhavaL_> salil?
[13:34] <Dunge> I inadvertently copied the /usr folder from a ARM device over the /usr folder of my ubuntu machine while trying to move it to somewhere else (I know, this is very bad and stupide). So afterward I took the /usr data from another VMWare macine who had the same image and copied it over... but I'm getting some stange behavior... is my installation good for the thrash?
[13:34] <ubuntunewbie> moncky: ? where to find it ?
[13:34] <moncky> ubuntunewbie: raspberry or somthing irrc
[13:35] <moncky> ubuntunewbie: the only ones I have ever used are external hardware devices
[13:35] <moncky> ubuntunewbie: what is it you are trying to do exactly?
[13:35] <ubuntunewbie> moncky: I mean a .mid which I found at the internet
[13:35] <bamball> hello! Does anyone experience random firefox freeze from time to time on x64 ubuntu??
[13:35] <ubuntunewbie> moncky: I can't use amarok or other player to play it
[13:35] <ubuntunewbie> moncky: not sure which plugin , it run but no sound
[13:36] <DhavaL_> Well? What do I do. Will I have to delete my partition table?
[13:36] <moncky> ubuntunewbie: midi is not an audio file, its more like a communications protocol
[13:36] <wapko> bamball: i did when i used flashblocker. but since i removed it, no more problems
[13:36] <ubuntunewbie> moncky: huh ? sorry new to ubuntu , any way to play it ?
[13:36] <bamball> vapko: is that part of firefox by default?
[13:37] <wapko> bamball: no, it isnt

[13:39] <DhavaL_> This is what I get wehn I try to install Ubuntu;
[13:39] <ubuntunewbie> moncky: i dont have that piano board
[13:39] <DhavaL_> What do I do?
[13:39] <ubuntunewbie> moncky: erm , I just wanted to play a midi song....
[13:39] <moncky> ubuntunewbie: or http://tinyurl.com/pq4v9v but you still need somthing to generate the sound
[13:39] <bazhang> ubuntunewbie, play? or convert
[13:39] <bazhang> rosegarden should be able to play it

[13:40] <testi> I'd like to remove all unoriginal fonts from my system (the wine package of winehq installed me some ugly fonts and they appear in firefox) How do I remove these?
[13:40] <moncky> ubuntunewbie: why not get the mp3? it would make more sense

[13:41] <DhavaL_> WARNING: This will destroy all data on any partitions you have removed as well as on the partitions that are going to be formatted.
[13:41] <moncky> ubuntunewbie: with midi you still need a seperate bit of hardware to make the sound
[13:41] <DhavaL_> so what can I do?
[13:41] <ubuntunewbie> moncky: sorry , kinda complicated to understand. is it same as mp3 ?
[13:42] <DhavaL_> Can anyone hear me?
[13:42] <ubuntunewbie> moncky: it's just some Final fantasy mid battle song that I had downloaded , nothing much
[13:42] <JediMaster> hey guys, I'm being told by our host that because our VPS virtual machine (running through Xen I believe) uses LVM for the drives that it's not possible to re-partition the virtual machine's drive. Does that actually make any sense??
[13:42] <bazhang> DhavaL_, what are you trying to do? edit partition table, then what
[13:42] <JediMaster> there's currently a swap and ext3 root partition
[13:42] <DhavaL_> I am not trying to edit the partition table exactly
[13:42] <vise> DhavaL_, Just do it.. Are you sure you selected the right partition to install? If yes.. do it!
[13:42] <DhavaL_> I have 30 gb free memory
[13:42] <moncky> ubuntunewbie: read the wiki article, MIDI contains no audio
[13:42] <DhavaL_> i tell it to install Ubuntu on it.
[13:42] <moncky> ubuntunewbie: nothing like MP3
[13:43] <bazhang> DhavaL_, explain clearly then what you are trying to do
[13:43] <ubuntunewbie> moncky: oh..

[13:43] <DhavaL_> I'm trying to install Ubuntu on 30 gb free space
[13:43] <DhavaL_> I am using the partition editor I get during install
[13:43] <vise> DhavaL_, Read it again.. You have not formatted any other partition have you? Then how will you lose data?
[13:43] <ubuntunewbie> moncky: so , the only way playing it is to install rosegarden ?
[13:43] <bazhang> DhavaL_, and you have backed-up important data?
[13:43] <DhavaL_> Well why would I need to
[13:43] <DhavaL_> hang on..
[13:44] <bazhang> because it's important?

[13:47] <exia_> bazhang, yes it plays but the video lags a little

[13:55] <JediMaster> can anyone think of a way of resizing the root partition while it's mounted? the machine has only just been installed, so can afford to screw it up (it's a VM and has almost instant restore)
[13:56] <vise> DhavaL_, No.. No grub.. It uses ntldr / bootmgr for Xp/vista to install the ubuntu entry.. No change to anything..
[13:56] <kerimbasol> you can only do with xfs file system.When your system working
