[04:12] <Aleoss> ardchoille: (09:53:08 PM) amaretto4u: ardchoille, so if i have audacious2 - i have old version?
[04:12] <ardchoille> Aleoss: I have no idea what audacious2 is
[04:12] <frogzoo> hmm if the screenlock can warn when capslock is on, why not numlock also? grrr
[04:12] <princeofgiri> rxvt, so you can record your microphone. mmm.. how about open gstreamer-properties, on default input, klick test, and test your microphone
[04:12] <poseidon> Are there any particular programs which are are notoriously bad with 64bit support?
[04:12] <mazda01> ex 100 i meant
[04:12] <frogzoo> poseidon: not anymore
[04:12] <mazda01> need to get recommendations for a KVM switch that will work without hassle with my brand new logitech eX 100 wireless keyboard and mouse
[04:13] <princeofgiri> poseidon, I can't found symphony on 64bit :)
[04:13] <frogzoo> mazda01: cyclades just work - get an IP KVM for choice
[04:13] <rxvt> ok, this is were your going to hate me, im actually an archlinux user. but this is the place to come as far as getting help with pulseaudio <_<
[04:13] <frogzoo> mazda01: oh wireless kvm? gl with that
[04:13] <mazda01> frogzoo, do you have a link to a website maybe.
[04:14] <frogzoo> mazda01: you want a link to google?
[04:14] <mazda01> frogzoo, no, not a wireless kvm, a kvm that can work with a wireless keyboard/mouse that has a USB interface
[04:14] <princeofgiri> rxvt, I think I have same problem with you.. but in ubuntu karmic. in jaunty it's work fine
[04:14] <mazda01> frogzoo, no, sorry. :-)
[04:14] <rxvt> ah i see.
[04:14] <frogzoo> mazda01: yeah, usb is going to be problematic maybe
[04:14] <raskolnik> poseidon: the only thing I've really had a problem with is flash, which can be iffy...everything else seems to work fine (that I've tried, at least)
[04:15] <princeofgiri> rxvt, and it's been 3 days I cannot jamming my guitar with linux
[04:15] <amaretto4u> Aleoss: i'we checked - audacious is same audacious2 :: package is "audacius", but installed executable file in /usr/bin is "audacious2"
[04:15] <LordHawke13> \/j #grub
[04:15] <poseidon> raskolnik, I've heard there is now a 64-bit flash for linux.  Have you tried it?
[04:15] <mazda01> frogzoo, 16 or 32 port connections, holy carp!! i am not running a server room. i only have 2 computers
[04:16] <princeofgiri> raskolnik, I'm use ubuntu karmic 64 now. but its work fine with flash player
[04:16] <frogzoo> mazda01: they have a wide range, but they're not the cheapest
[04:16] <rxvt> well this is an issue i do plan to reslove, i plan to do so with in the hour...
[04:16] <m0ar> raskolnik: Flash is fine for 64 bit
[04:16] <raskolnik> it works mostly, but I have had the occasional thing refuse to play
[04:17] <raskolnik> and I had issues with it not recognizing the keyboard at one point
[04:17] <LordHawke13> How do I update to the latest GRUB?
[04:17] <mazda01> frogzoo, i have a PS/2 to male usb, do they make a PS/2 to usb female? because I already have a iogear PS/2 kvm switch that I use now with an ancient Rosewell Wireless Keyboard/Mouse but I just got a new logitech ex100 wireless keyboard/mouse
[04:17] <joanne> hello, anyone willing to help an utter noob? I'm trying to get a Sansa Connect to connect to my laptop running Jaunty Jackalope, and there is no joy. I did go into Rythymbox and make sure to edit the plugins to include portable players/MTP, but there is still no joy.
[04:18] <vantinh90> ubuntu not run IDM why ?
[04:18] <ipatrol> I'm still trying to figure out how to create a distributable package from my own source files
[04:18] <LordHawke13> joanne, Did you try Banshee?
[04:18] <m0ar> joanne: Hey, I forgot that upgrading to 9.10 blowed all my mp3-player problems away! :'D
[04:18] <m0ar> joanne: Worth a try
[04:19] <princeofgiri> ipatrol, are you packager team?
[04:19] <dagnachew> hi all
[04:19] <ipatrol> princeofgiri: No, just one person hammering out small programs
[04:20] <dagnachew> ayone installed oracle ? am stuck at dbca 89 % , almost done but the initial database creation is taking for ever
[04:20] <mazda01> frogzoo, i see that USB isn't the best choice. i can't believe though that more people don't use a wireless usb keyboard/mouse with a kvm switch
[04:20] <princeofgiri> ipatrol, I have some documentation, but in Indonesian language. :)
[04:20] <ipatrol> princeofgiri: can you translate?
[04:21] <princeofgiri> ipatrol, sorry, too much. and I'm not packager.  I just package some of artwork in indonesian linux distribution
[04:21] <frogzoo> mazda01: ps2 is easy to kvm, usb is.. challenging
[04:21] <LordHawke13> Can someone point me to a simple "How to add Windows boo option to GRUB" walk-through?
[04:21] <rzm61> So hey everyone. I'm somewhat new to Ubuntu and Linux in general. Any tips, tricks or websites you seasoned users care to share?
[04:21] <LordHawke13> *boot my bad
[04:21] <frogzoo> !docs > rzm61
[04:21] <ipatrol> does anyone know how to package software?
[04:22] <ddelony> Are there any plans for a channel specifically for the Netbook Remix?
[04:22] <LordHawke13> !grub
[04:22] <i_is_broke> !grub | LordHawke13
[04:22] <ddelony> !package
[04:22] <princeofgiri> rzm61, how about gimp-tutorials.net ?
[04:22] <ddelony> ipatrol: Hang on, I think I saw something in the wiki.
[04:23] <rzm61> thanks princeofgiri
[04:23] <DaZ> ipatrol: you want to package them as a developer or more like an enduser?
[04:23] <ipatrol> ddelony: I read the wiki, but little made sense
[04:24] <ipatrol> DaZ: For distribution
[04:24] <TEEDEV||CHAI> Welcome Back.........
[04:24] <mazda01> frogzoo, as long as usb keyboard/mice have been around, i figured there'd be a decent consumer kvm for them
[04:24] <ZehavaZM> I just got a new monitor, had to reconfigure X to make it work.  It finally works decent, BUT every time I restart it goes back to an old resolution, not the one I want.
[04:25] <ZehavaZM> How can I set it to keep my current resolution as default?
[04:25] <ddelony> ipatrol: I don't know much about packaging myself.
[04:25] <ipatrol> ZehavaZM: Startup script?
[04:26] <ZehavaZM> ipatrol might have to
[04:27] <ipatrol> ddelony: I just want to make a .deb that creates a few files and folders, places the program in a certain spot, and allow it to be called with one word and tosssed around with apt
[04:27] <lao5> how to solve "usb 3-2 : device not accepting address 2 - error -71", thx.
[04:27] <ipatrol> !deb
[04:27] <frogzoo> mazda01: let me know if you find a kvm that supports usb - never seen one
[04:27] <DaZ> ipatrol: if you don't care about package dependencies you can use checkinstall [;
[04:28] <DaZ> if you want to do it the right way get some src.debs and analyze
[04:28] <ipatrol> DaZ: But that doesn't work for distribution, so I fo care about dependencies
[04:28] <mazda01> frogzoo, here ya go, www.google.com.   just kidding, here it is: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817107415
[04:28] <benh> hrm
[04:28] <benh> interesting issue here
[04:28] <benh> updated that box from jaunty to karmic
[04:29] <benh> and it fails to boot... initramfs doesn't file my LVM root
[04:29] <benh> now
[04:29] <benh> in busybox, just doing "udevadm trigger" and exit -> works
[04:29] <benh> ie
[04:29] <benh> lvm inits properly it seems, at least it appears to find everybody
[04:29] <benh> but udev doesn't create the /dev/ entries
[04:29] <benh> known bogon ?
[04:30] <Leif> Have any of you had trouble setting up rosegarden in ubuntu 9.10?
[04:31] <Leif> It worked in other versions of ubuntu, but for some reason, I can't get any sound to come out of it.
[04:32] <Nattpysj> guys i have a problem
[04:32] <frogzoo> mazda01: haha good for you
[04:32] <Leif> I think it has something to do with not having any awesfx, whatever that is.
[04:32] <Nattpysj> xp
[04:33] <mazda01> frogzoo, hey, you wanted to know if i found one didn't you?
[04:33] <adalal> what is the karmic equivalent to notify-send?
[04:33] <Nattpysj> my firefox wont start
[04:33] <Leif> Erm, sfxload
[04:33] <root_> hello
[04:33] <adalal> Nattpysj: backup and delete the .mozilla/firefox/<profile folder> and try
[04:33] <Nattpysj> thank you
[04:33] <ipatrol> http://www.linuxfordevices.com/c/a/Linux-For-Devices-Articles/How-to-make-deb-packages/
[04:34] <ipatrol> Apparently its more about syntax than any one program
[04:34] <poseidonpp> I just installed ubuntu karmic 64-bit on my new laptop.  I don't see the network icon in the tray in the top right.  I tried adding it but I don't see it in the add tools place either.
[04:35] <poseidonpp> iwconfig gives me eth0 and wlan0 (and some others)
[04:35] <grendal_prime> hey guys. I need to grab movie trailers. what is the best way to do that does anyone know?
[04:35] <poseidonpp> but sudo dhclient wlan0 can't seem to connect
[04:36] <grendal_prime> i have a video store and i would like to put up on one of the machines a playlist of things we are currently renting.
[04:37] <grendal_prime> i thought flashgot would do the trick..but its kinda...well erratic at best.
[04:37] <poseidonpp> I have an asus model number G60VX-RBBX05
[04:37] <ipatrol> wait, did I just paste a link that supports debian?
[04:38] <ddelony> grendal_prime: Have you tried sftp?
[04:38] <frogzoo> ipatrol: you're allowed to support debian - where do you think ubuntu comes from?
[04:38] <frogzoo> !debian
[04:38] <LordHawke13> Someone please help me with editing GRUB. The manuals aren't helping. I believe I'm going about it a strange way. Please help.
[04:38] <bastid_raZor> grendal_prime: possibly wget .. if you know the full address which isn't hard to get.
[04:39] <frogzoo> LordHawke13: your problem might be that koala uses grub2
[04:39] <LordHawke13> I have Windows installed in a partition and I restored GRUB.
[04:39] <ddelony> ipatrol: A lot of Ubuntu developers also contribute to Debian.
[04:39] <SoftwareExplorer> poseidonpp: To make the icon appear try Alt-F2 "gksudo killall nm-applet" and then Alt-F2 "nm-applet"
[04:39] <LordHawke13> No I upgraded from Jaunty.
[04:39] <poseidonpp> thanks.  connected via dhclient though :)
[04:39] <ipatrol> ddelony: I was just afraid I made some sort of faux pas
[04:40] <LordHawke13> The GRUB I restored still had the setting before I deleted another Linux partition so it still gives me the option to boot to the second Linux OS (which no longer exists) but no option to boot to Windows.
[04:40] <clearzen> I just installed the netbook remix of 9.04 and it will not see the ethernet port. Any idea how I can find the chipset so I can track down a driver
[04:41] <SoftwareExplorer> poseidonpp: You're welcome :)
[04:41] <LordHawke13> How do I add a "Boot to Windows XP on second Partition" option to my GRUB menu and delete the Linux entires in GRUB that no longer exist?
[04:41] <ddelony> clearzen: What kind of machine do you have?
[04:41] <revstray> good evening, congrats on the awesome UNR, great stuff. One issue I'm having though, how to I modify the widgets in the panel at the top of the screen where the date and such are?
[04:42] <Guest98530> try the booting cd?
[04:42] <ddelony> LordHawke13: I think the Live CD or alternate CD can do that automatically.
[04:43] <Guest98530> ddelony : yes
[04:43] <poseidonpp> I'm so excited to get ubuntu install.  I got my laptop then my parents made me spend the rest of the day fixing their comp with xp because my dad got a virus from pron.
[04:43] <ddelony> I think it might be under the "Rescue a broken system" option
[04:43] <bastid_raZor> LordHawke13: if you're using the old grub manually edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[04:43] <LordHawke13> ddelony, Guest98530, What do I do after booting to LiveCD. I have an adapter for internet that requires a proprietary driver that I can't use in LiveCD.
[04:43] <ddelony> Can we discuss Ubuntu advocacy in here?
[04:43] <Guest98530> ddelony:no
[04:44] <poseidonpp> When installing ubuntu I noticed that sda1 was labled "Vista boot" and sda2 "windows 7"
[04:44] <poseidonpp> What's up with this?
[04:44] <bastid_raZor> clearzen: lspci in a terminal
[04:44] <poseidonpp> Is this from my oem install, or standard with windows 7
[04:44] <ddelony> Guest98530: Well, I've thankfully never needed to use it.
[04:45] <DaZ> poseidonpp: my windows is fine with one partition [;
[04:45] <Ben64> hey i'm on 8.04 hardy heron. I installed a new cpu/mobo, intel e4400, but it's reporting it's speed at 600mhz, and clocks up to 900mhz only during load... the cpu should be at 2ghz
[04:45] <clearzen> bastid_raZor: thanks
[04:45] <Guest98530> DaZ: !
[04:45] <poseidonpp> I wasn't sure and was sick of messing with windows so I left it as it was
[04:45] <DaZ> Guest98530: root.
[04:46] <grendal_prime> ya bastid_raZor unfortunatly I hate digging through a shitload of html trying to find some ref to a flv file. its a pain in the ass. flashgot is supposed to do that for you but its kinda shitty at it.
[04:46] <Guest98530> DaZ:?
[04:47] <ddelony> grendal_prime: Hey, watch your language!
[04:48] <ddelony> grendal_prime: So what exactly are you trying to do?
[04:50] <chu_> Save a flash file?
[04:51] <grendal_prime> well i would like to browse to a web site that has a trailer that i would like and then download the trailer onto my local machine.  then i coould set up a playlist that just plays those trailers over and over all day.
[04:51] <chu_> Are you running linux?
[04:51] <grendal_prime> i was thinking that i could do it with like some plugin for vlc...but i havent found anything that seems to work.
[04:52] <grendal_prime> chu_ was that for me? yes i run ubuntu on all of the machines involved
[04:52] <chu_> Have you got one of these trailers open now?
[04:53] <grendal_prime> i can have...
[04:54] <ipatrol> There are two scripts in .deb files, do they have to be shell scripts? or can they be a different shbang-preceeded executable text file?
[04:54] <ipatrol> like python or perl?
[04:56] <necroforest> why doesn't Ubuntu have a GRip package anymore?
[04:56] <peepsalot> how can i verify which graphics driver X is currently using?
[04:57] <frogzoo> glxinfo | grep server
[04:57] <ddelony> Anyone know how to get the EEE PC trackpad to recognize two-finger scrolling in 9.10 Netbook Remix?
[04:58] <ChiYang> ddelony, does the eeepc hardware support this?
[04:58] <Ben64> how come mplayer doesn't do multithreading??
[04:59] <ddelony> ChiYang: Not sure. It's a new model, the 1005HA.
[04:59] <peepsalot> frogzoo, i was running the nvidia drivers and wanted to try nouveau.   this is the output:  server glx vendor string: SGI     server glx version string: 1.2  server glx extensions:
[04:59] <frogzoo> Ben64: trick question?
[05:00] <Ben64> frogzoo: no
[05:00] <eboyjr> Hello everyone. Does the Alternate installer automatically get the most updated packages?
[05:01] <peepsalot> frogzoo, i don't see anything about nouveau or nvidia in that output.  the driver is SGI?
[05:01] <ChiYang> ddelony, this post mentions the 1008HA but the issue and fix should apply to you too, for some reason asus decided to ship this model without the drivers but with the necessary hardware: http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?pid=586803#p586803
[05:01] <frogzoo> ah well, maybe take a look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[05:02] <ddelony> ChiYang: Edge scrolling works though.
[05:02] <ChiYang> and pinching
[05:02] <ChiYang> http://www.liliputing.com/2009/07/adding-support-for-2-finger-scrolling-to-asus-eee-pc-1005ha-1008ha.html
[05:03] <d9500> peepsalo, cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep nouveau. if it finds nothing, then try cat /var/Xorg.0.log | grep nivdia
[05:03] <d9500> nvidia*
[05:03] <d9500> peepsalot, see above. i misspelled your name earlier. sorry about that
[05:04] <ddelony> ChiYang: Thanks.
[05:04] <ChiYang> no problem
[05:04] <peepsalot> d9500, it looks like it's using module "nv"
[05:05] <hellyes_> are there any updates or bug fixes for 9.10 yet?
[05:05] <chu_> No
[05:05] <d9500> peepsalot, ok. so did you want to continue using that driver, install the nvidia binary driver, or install nouveau?
[05:06] <peepsalot> d9500, i wanted to try out nouveau
[05:06] <d9500> peepsalot, what version of ubuntu are you using?
[05:06] <peepsalot> karmix
[05:06] <DaZ> peepsalot: you waon't be impressed <:
[05:06] <DaZ> s/ao/o/
[05:06] <Azanoth> Hi everyone: I have a directory included in my path (double checked by echoing $path), and files in there that are presumably executable (mysql/bin) and yet typing things like mysql response 'command not found'. How can I troubleshoot this issue?
[05:07] <peepsalot> DaZ, well, i don't care about 3d, if it can handle dual monitor well with xrandr i will be impressed enough
[05:07] <hellyes_> is there an Ubuntu Unleashed or an Ubuntu Bible for 9.10?  I only see it for versions previous to 9.04
[05:07] <Azanoth> For example, 'mysql', 'mysqladmin', 'mysqld' all return not found, though I know those exist in the included directory
[05:07] <DaZ> peepsalot: i'm not sure if it can handle displaying windows [;
[05:08] <Geoffrey2> I have a number of audio files I want to convert to mp3 format...what's a good program to do that with?
[05:08] <Ben64> Geoffrey2: lame
[05:09] <ChiYang> soundbooth
[05:09] <d9500> peepsalot, for the nouveau in the repos, open terminal and do sudo aptitude install xserver-xorg-video-nouveau. for a slightly more updated nouveau, add the ppa at https://edge.launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/nouveau before running the preceding command
[05:09] <eboyjr> How compatible is UNR with compiz?
[05:09] <scatmanjohn> huh?
[05:10] <DaZ> eboyjr: unr?
[05:10] <scatmanjohn> (scatting)
[05:10] <ddelony> eboyjr: The visual effects work well enough for me, so I guess it's compatible.
[05:10] <evilbug> i got a toshiba l505-s59903 and can't get the wifi to work under 9.10 x64. help please.
[05:10] <scatmanjohn> oh shit
[05:10] <eboyjr> DaZ: That's an abbreviation for Ubuntu Netbook Remix
[05:10] <DaZ> ah
[05:10] <ddelony> !Ubuntu Netbook Remix
[05:10] <ddelony> !netbook
[05:10] <cameron_> hey can anybody help me set up Empathy to pull Yahoo chats ?
[05:10] <scatmanjohn> why do you have to put their names in front?
[05:11] <eboyjr> ddelony: Thank you. I was referring to the window manager capabilities. I heard that UNR uses maximus or something.
[05:11] <scatmanjohn> geek
[05:11] <scatmanjohn> (continues scatting)
[05:12] <scatmanjohn> anyone here human?
[05:12] <EEMPHASISS> Hi: How can I add cities to the Clock applet which are not in the drop-down list?
[05:12] <jesse> does anyone know how to make "screenlets" appear on start up?
[05:12] <Azanoth> scatmanjohn: I find your assertions to be geriatric
[05:12] <scatmanjohn> this is chat?
[05:12] <Azanoth> scatmanjohn: At best.
[05:13] <scatmanjohn> sorry rich homophobe
[05:13] <scatmanjohn> lol
[05:13] <scatmanjohn> (scatting)
[05:13] <ddelony> scatmanjohn: This channel is for community Ubuntu support.
[05:13] <scatmanjohn> oh
[05:13] <scatmanjohn> sorry
[05:15] <Azanoth> Wow, your mature handling of that situation worked 10x better than my next-to-immature comment
[05:15] <Azanoth> I'm left with a better opinion of the internet in general
[05:15] <EEMPHASISS> Clock applet: how do I add cities which are not in drop-down list?  Is this a world-wide database somewhere?
[05:16] <benjgvps> What is the closest thing to notepad that I can install that doesn't require me to install anything gnome related?
[05:16] <jmvx> Hey, I started up Ubuntu and my gnome-panel was missing. I restarted a couple more times to see if it would come back, but it didn't. I can bring my panel back through the terminal, but it's always temporary.
[05:16] <dem0buntu> hi there
[05:16] <peepsalot> benjgvps, nano?
[05:17] <dem0buntu> hey guys, anyone here trying to play the game heroes of newerth?
[05:17] <peepsalot> benjgvps, you want something for KDE?
[05:17] <benjgvps> peepsalot: I have lxde
[05:17] <ChiYang> KDE or Gnome, which is better
[05:17] <Richdog567> both
[05:17] <MenZa> !best | ChiYang
[05:17] <MenZa> Depends on your preference, ChiYang.
[05:17] <benjgvps> As long as it's a gui application
[05:18] <benjgvps> I am not too fond of terminal based apps
[05:18] <Richdog567> whats better for a ps3, YellowDog, of Ubuntu?
[05:18] <ChiYang> I've only used gnome with ubuntu, but have used kde with some suse distros
[05:18] <peepsalot> benjgvps, doesn't lxde already come with a gui text editor?
[05:18] <MenZa> benjgvps: Have a look at kate.
[05:18] <Richdog567> or*
[05:18] <EEMPHASISS> jmvx:  This happened to me about a year ago, trouble is, I'm 1400 km from where my notes about it are...  Try Ubuntu forums
[05:18] <peepsalot> leafpad or something like that
[05:18] <MenZa> benjgvps: It depends on KDE, and it is a bit more advanced than notepad.
[05:18] <benjgvps> peepsalot: No clue, I installed it overtop of a cli install
[05:19] <MenZa> (Unless, of course, peepsalot has a point -- if lxde has a text editor, there's no point in installing kdelibs)
[05:19] <muhammad_> can i ask, ubuntu 9.10 to install updates and then shutdown by itself?
[05:19] <ardchoille> iirc, lxde does have an editor
[05:19] <peepsalot> benjgvps, try running leafpad, it may already be installed
[05:19] <MenZa> Leafpad is, indeed, the default lxde text editor
[05:19] <benjgvps> peepsalot: Nothing
[05:19] <ardchoille> and I think peepsalot just found it :)
[05:20] <MenZa> !info leafpad
[05:20] <Balsaq> muhammad can you repeat that
[05:20] <benjgvps> I installed lxde-common overtop of a cli install of ubuntu 9.04
[05:20] <ChiYang> !info virus
[05:20] <Aleoss> I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 x64 with a wired laser USB mouse. Previous to installing Linux (24 hours ago) it worked fine, but now it's randomly jittering and sometimes moves quite the distance, as well it also randomly left-clicks (mouse button 1)
[05:20] <Aleoss> Is there a way to fix this?
[05:20] <MenZa> muhammad_: You can do so from a terminal -- the following would install all updates, then shut down if the updates are successful: sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo halt
[05:20] <benjgvps> Aleoss: Try changing the battery or moving the reciever closer
[05:21] <muhammad_> Balsaq: I want to run the update manager when i am going to bed and want that the system goes down after it has done installing the updates.
[05:21] <Aleoss> benjgvps: Battery? I just said it's wired.
[05:21] <DaZ> MenZa: what if sudo asks for password? [;
[05:21] <benjgvps> Aleoss: Whoops, sorry, multitasking :)
[05:21] <ardchoille> Muhammad: any particular reason you want the system to shutdown? Linux is designed to run for quite some time without needing to shutdown
[05:21] <dem0buntu> any fixes for the bright control and battery on hp pavilion dv3000 series :P
[05:21] <MenZa> DaZ: sudo asks for a password, then saves it for the following 15 minutes, or for the rest of the commands in the series.

[05:30] <acid> u

[05:52] <LucidPerry> I've installed x64 flash from Adobe Labs on my machine...but I'm often unable to "click" in any sort of flash app. For example, I'm often unable to adjust the volume in a YouTube video. Anyone know why?
[05:53] <om26er_> LucidPerry, yes its a known issue. did you download from their website
[05:53] <bleepbloop> DaZ: im using the app you recommended, what's the difference between 9.10_Live and 9.10_Netinstall?
[05:53] <LucidPerry> om26er_: Yes, I did.
[05:53] <jaza> does anyone have any suggestions on how i can make wubi run faster, or a way to fix what I have?
[05:53] <DaZ> bleepbloop: netinstall does... net install [;
[05:53] <om26er_> LucidPerry, remove it and install from terminal
[05:54] <redIago> hey quick question
[05:54] <LucidPerry> om26er_: Install from terminal...isn't that basically the same thing? wget--> tar xzf?
[05:54] <bleepbloop> DaZ: so if i downloaded the 9.10 UNR they have on the front page, i got the netinstall option?
[05:54] <frogzoo> redIago: not so quick..
[05:54] <LucidPerry> LucidPerry: Using the .so file, I presume?
[05:54] <DaZ> bleepbloop: i've never used unr
[05:54] <redIago> sorry lol
[05:54] <bleepbloop> DaZ: ah okay
[05:54] <redIago> thought the terminal thing was the answer my bad
[05:54] <heoa> bastidrazor: You mean something like: ssh -x 8386 -L 20:local-host:80<EMAIL_ADDRESS>  ?
[05:55] <om26er_> LucidPerry, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[05:55] <DaZ> bleepbloop: if it's bigger than 400 megs then it isn't net install
[05:55] <LucidPerry> om26er_: That works for x64?
[05:55] <om26er_> LucidPerry, but first remove the old one
[05:55] <benjgvps> Weird, pastebin is screwing up the formatting of the xorg.conf

[05:56] <benjgvps> http://pastebin.com/m3f2edce3
[05:56] <bleepbloop> DaZ: it's 680 MB, thats probably a live install amirite?
[05:56] <benjgvps> Well there it is
[05:56] <DaZ> bleepbloop: yes.
[05:56] <saica> om26er: I'll give you some more detail... after an update, my system is unbootable. It's similar to the dmraid problem one gets with a fresh install to a dmraid in Intrepid or Jaunty, except I already fixed that problem and my system was working. During my last update, the modules loaded by initramfs were either changed or deleted entirely. Since I don't know what modules Jaunty loads by default, I don't know what I should add to /etc/in
[05:56] <bleepbloop> DaZ: ah okay, thank you
[05:56] <jaza> any suggestions??
[05:57] <benjgvps> DaZ: http://pastebin.com/m3f2edce3 If you can help out with the xorg.conf not letting me go to 1024x786

[06:03] <kinja-sheep> jillsmitt: Customize Theme under Appearances?
[06:03] <scunizi> torasuku: you might find that .ico files (some) are actually .png or .jpg files.. copy one and rename it with the .png extension and open in gimp to see what happens.

[06:06] <saica> what modules, specifically, did you add to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules?
[06:06] <kinja-sheep> jillsmitt: Try gnome-color-chooser

I am a complete newbie, I know very little about setting it up and making it secure does anyone have any good readme's.. I would like to setup an apache server to server 3-4 domains (to get rid of the old iis box) and setup postfix to setup a quick n easy relay between the voicemail card on the local lan and the mail server that no longer accepts blank ehlo/helo commands... anyon
[06:23] <zhanx> i broke gcc so dependies and cant run apt
[06:24] <zhanx> is there a way to reconfigure so the errors on libgcc_s.so.1 get fixed?
[06:24] <benjgvps> When I run the xrandr --newmode command I get this: http://pastebin.com/m45aedbde
[06:25] <saica> grr.. dissonnected
[06:25] <saica> my last post: om26er, i'm going to take your advice and  try to build a custom initramfs for each kernel, but while i wait for the livecd to reboot.. if mkinitramfs -o filename works... why would update-initramfs -c -k all not work? (i have tried this as well, with dm-raid4-5 specified in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules)
[06:25] <frogzoo> yes, reverse your changes
[06:26] <jaza> can anyone help with the installation of ubuntu on a dynamic disk with win 7.   I tried goggle and everything else with no luck.
[06:26] <mezquitale> umm... "dynamic" disk?!?
[06:26] <zhanx> well crap i even broke nautilus
[06:27] <jaza> right now I'm running wubi wich feels like i'm running on 256mb system
[06:27] <saica> Can anyone confirm that dm-raid4-5 is the correct name for the dmraid module to load a RAID0?
[06:30] <benjgvps> Damn, I know I had this computer at 1024x786 at one point, then Linux had to be Linux and crash and burn faster than Windows stereotypically does
[06:30] <zhanx> anyone with a base install want to zip up thier /lib folder and email it to me?
[06:31] <frogzoo> benjgvps: did linux crash or the video driver, hmmm?
[06:31] <benjgvps> frogzoo: The video driver, I was trying to take it out of the openfirmware video since it had some odd issues
[06:32] <benjgvps> My issues probably stem from the xorg.conf I downloaded
[06:32] <benjgvps> Though it works well, I'm just missing the 1024x786 resolution
[06:33] <bleepbloop> DaZ: i used that to format the usb stick and put the .iso on it, and everything seems fine, but when i try to run ubuntu from the usb stick it always gets stuck at the little clock symbol
[06:33] <saica> benjgvps: try deleting xorg.conf completely or dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[06:33] <benjgvps> saica: No can do, it doesn't regenerate a proper config for my iMac G3
[06:34] <Smegzor1> i have googled casper.rw and it seems the only way to free up space is to create a new casper file.  I had 300mb free, removed openoffice and now have 265mb free.  If I create a new casper and copy everything from the old casper into it, will it report 265mb free again or lots more?
[06:34] <Soslas> hi
[06:34] <jaza> help anyone??
[06:34] <Soslas> how do i enable the ssh daemon (and whatever else need to have enabled in order for my ssh protocol file trasnfer app to work) in ubuntu?
[06:35] <Cirilo> ey
[06:35] <Cirilo> vine a garchar
[06:35] <Snausages> benjgvps: what ubuntu is that?
[06:35] <Cirilo> soy un chota gruesa
[06:35] <saica> jaza: "dynamic disk" is windowsish for software raid... i'm not going to say it's impossible, but you'd have to find some way to convince the kernel to load window's raid map...
[06:35] <benjgvps> Snausages: 9.04
[06:35] <Cirilo> wtf is happening here
[06:35] <Cirilo> who are you
[06:35] <Cirilo> evil bots
[06:35] <Cirilo> im scared
[06:35] <Snausages> benjgvps: cool, where do you get that?
[06:35] <FloodBot1> Cirilo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:36] <benjgvps> Snausages: The Xorg.conf?
[06:36] <Cirilo> flood my balls
[06:36] <Snausages> benjgvps: no, the powerpc 9.04
[06:36] <benjgvps> Oh, I googled
[06:36] <benjgvps> If I recall, it was pretty hidden
[06:36] <Snausages> cool
[06:36]  * Snausages googles
[06:37] <benjgvps> Snausages: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/9.04/release/
[06:37] <benjgvps> Found it
[06:37] <DaZ> bleepbloop: i don't remember any clock symbols [;
[06:38] <jaza> saica: can you point me in the right direction, still new to ubuntu and have an hp notebook and trying to install ubuntu remix, when i tried to use gparted it stated that i could't partition my drive because it was dynamic??
[06:39] <saica> jaza, gparted refused to partition? hm.. sounds like it does actually recongize the software raid and refused to break it. are you installing Karmic?
[06:41] <jaza> saica: yes, tried to re-size the drive in gparted and received the error
[06:41] <blistov> does anyone know how to forcibly delete an md raid5?
[06:41] <blistov> so that it won't ever ever ever come back again?
[06:41] <saica> jaza, if you intend to keep windows, you may have to use windows to create an empty partition.
[06:41] <Tesssa> did the upgrade from 9.4 to 9.10 and lost the sound any idea why please
[06:42] <Guest52057> I went from 9.04 to 9.10 and have video corruption in kde4
[06:42] <bleepbloop> DaZ: this may be just a UNR/my noobness issue. im lurking some forums and stuff right now looking for my error.
[06:43] <Snausages> bleepbloop: what is your damage?
[06:43] <benjgvps> If this helps anyone, here is my Xorg.conf: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8564568#post8564568
[06:43] <DaZ> bleepbloop: i don't use unr, or even ubuntu for last three years and it's 7 am here and i didn't get any sleep
[06:43] <DaZ> so i'm afraid i won't be helpful :3
[06:43] <benjgvps> So I can't get xrandr to create the resolution, what other options do I have?
[06:43] <javi> ehhh
[06:44] <mcurran> Does anyone know how to use ettercap?
[06:44] <jaza> saica: i tried as well, when partitioned using windows is fine, once i switch to ubuntu and try to specify the partition it does not recognize the unformatted partition alone, it combines it with my hp recovery partition??
[06:44] <mcurran> I was wondering if it was possible to sniff host machine usernames and passwords with ettercap, and not just online activity/accoount info.
[06:45] <Snausages> mcurran: has a lot to do with them being used, and being used in the open
[06:45] <SoftwareExplorer> Sosias: Go to System >Administration>Synaptic package manager. Search for openssh-server (I think that's the right name) and install it
[06:46] <mcurran> Yes, so you mean if someone logs out and then back in while it is poisoned, it will be picked up?
[06:46] <saica> blistov: "dmraid -r -E" (this will destroy all raid metadata, and all other data on the drives)
[06:47] <bleepbloop> Snausages: huh?
[06:48] <saica> jaza: hm... i don't know much about windows' partitioning scheme.. have you tried partitioning with something 3rd party?
[06:48] <Tesssa> did the upgrade from 9.4 to 9.10 and lost the sound any idea why please it worked perfect in 9.4
[06:48] <bleepbloop> Snausages: ohhh you mean my issue?
[06:48] <jaza> no have not tried that yet, i don have partition magic 8??
[06:49] <mcurran> Tesssa did you happen to install pulseaudio?  If you did, remove it.
[06:49] <Broly> can somebody help me figure out how to force a resolution using nvidia drivers
[06:49] <saica> Tesssa: I had the same problem. looks like the dev teams for pulseaudio and udev didn't take eachother into consideration.
[06:49] <mcurran> Broly:  nvidia-settings and then use it to overwrite xorg.conf (not merge)
[06:49] <Tesssa> i dont knw i just followed the upgrade instructions
[06:49] <saica> Tesssa: rather than surrender to the bug, you can make new rules for udev that solve the problem
[06:50] <Broly> mcurran: problem is monitor is a cheap tv, i don't think its reporting any edid info
[06:50] <saica> Tesssa: pulseaudio is installed by default, as it was installed on your previous version of Ubuntu.
[06:50] <Broly> mcurran: but i know it will do much higher than it is
[06:51] <mcurran> Broly:  You could try manually editing xorg, try googling for someone who posted theirs with the same monitor/model
[06:51] <mcurran> Also, why ask for a howto, and then say it's impossible, just don't ask...
[06:51] <Tesssa> so why have they changed it in 9.10
[06:52] <kinja-sheep> Broly: Try TwinView. It soemtimes worked without EDID>
[06:52] <SoftwareExplorer> I'm working on writing a how to on RGBA gtk. I would like to put it on wiki.ubuntu.org Is there a 'correct' place to put it?
[06:52] <jaza> saica: do you think that the installation has anything to do with having a dynamic disk??
[06:52] <mcurran> Tesssa pulseaudio has seemed to be on and off with each release for the past two years.
[06:52] <mcurran> it's a reoccurring issue
[06:52] <Broly> mcurran: I've tried editing xorg.conf but it still wont let me pick a resolution higher than 640x480
[06:52] <david_> Would it be reasonable to have one home directory accessed by two separate linux installations?
[06:53] <bleepbloop> Snausages: my issue is that I've been trying to create a bootable usb stick with unetbootin, but although everything seems to go fine, it doesnt seem to want to start from the usb stick :-/
[06:53] <mcurran> Well I'm sure you could at least go to 800x600 Broly - Take a look around the net
[06:53] <mcurran> What monitor r u using
[06:53] <Broly> kinja-sheep: what do you mean by try TwinView. as in twinview options in xorg.conf
[06:53] <Tesssa> oh and as far as making new rules i havent a clue how to not into command line
[06:53] <saica> Tesssa: create a file "/etc/udev/rules.d/10-fixes.rules" with this line: SUBSYSTEM=="sound", SYMLINK+="snd/%K"
[06:54] <Broly> mcurran: its a cheap 19" emerson
[06:54] <mcurran> Anyone else have an issue dual-booting XP - I get the TRAP 00000006 EXCEPTION and I tried reinstalling XP twice now, and no go...
[06:54] <Broly> mcurran: i know it will do 1440x900. I can get that using my laptop in windows
[06:54] <kinja-sheep> Broly: In NVIDIA X Server Settings --> On the said monitor, select Configure... TwinView.
[06:54] <saica> Tesssa: CORRECTION! Don't capitalize the k at the end. create a file "/etc/udev/rules.d/10-fixes.rules" with this line: SUBSYSTEM=="sound", SYMLINK+="snd
[06:54] <saica> Tesssa: CORRECTION! Don't capitalize the k at the end.
[06:54] <saica>  create a file "/etc/udev/rules.d/10-fixes.rules" with this line: SUBSYSTEM=="sound", SYMLINK+="snd
[06:55] <rbh> has anyone gotten a formerly LVM Fedora box to successfully recognize all drives on Ubuntu?  I used the alternative CD to get LVM2
[06:55] <saica> Tesssa: CORRECTION! Don't capitalize the k at the end "/etc/udev/rules.d/10-fixes.rules" with this line: SUBSYSTEM=="sound", SYMLINK+="snd/%k"
[06:55] <saica> there we go...
[06:56] <Broly> kinja-sheep: twinview is grayed out
[06:56] <kinja-sheep> Broly: Oh. :<
[06:56] <mwagner> david: you should look into NIS or LDAP
[06:56] <saica> jaza: yes. gparted doesn't want to break your windows installation, so it won't repartition your dynamic disk...
[06:57] <Microcosm> omg gnome
[06:57] <benjgvps> What a nice tool, an open source tool that doesn't want to break your windows installation
[06:57] <Tesssa> so if i wait untill 10.4 comes out and i install that will it have sorted the sound out as i dont know how to or want to go into command line i am a wimdowa user on my other HD
[06:57] <saica> lol benjvps
[06:58] <Broly> kinja-sheep: got any other ideas, I've tried editing xorg.conf several different ways but it doesn't see to change anything
[06:59] <saica> Tesssa: Unfortunately these things happen in the open source world... one development team does not necessarily coordintate with another when it should.. and the end user has to take things into their own hands..
[06:59] <kinja-sheep> Broly: You could try #nvidia too.
[06:59] <Tesssa> ah well if that is the case it will be win7 for me
[06:59] <Tesssa> but i do like xubuntu
[07:01] <saica> Tesssa: I hate to see anyone give up, although I've been close myself a few times... If you really do like any branch of ubuntu, report your problems on LaunchPad (ubuntu's bug tracker). Sooner or later, a solution will come.
[07:01] <DryGrain> omg
[07:02] <Soslas> hey
[07:02] <DryGrain> im trying to figure out the TomTom gps i got for xmas
[07:02] <bleepbloop> sup
[07:02] <DryGrain> it runs linux
[07:02] <Soslas> how do i install the root system?
[07:02] <Soslas> i want to have the root user
[07:02] <DryGrain> but the software to update your maps rtc is only in win and mac
[07:02] <DryGrain> i installed X11Basic onn it
[07:02] <DryGrain> :D
[07:02] <saica> Soslas: in ubuntu? are you sure about that? (sudo, sudo su, etc are available)
[07:02] <bleepbloop> whenever i try to boot ubuntu UNR 9.10 from the usb stick that i formatted for booting with unetbootin, i end up getting ubuntu's version of the 'spinning ball of death'
[07:03] <Soslas> saica: yes i use a livecd and its a must
[07:03] <kcj1993> spinning ball of death?
[07:03] <DryGrain> I'm having some permissions issues however, and came in for a chmod question
[07:03] <RobbieAB> Ok, taken a quick look at ubuntu.com...
[07:03] <DryGrain> How do I unclude all files in all subfolders witch chmod
[07:03] <RobbieAB> What version of the kernel is current in the most recent ubuntu? I couldn't find it quickly there
[07:03] <DryGrain> I want to make every file readable and writeable by all users on the gps
[07:03] <benjgvps> Woah, well I got 1024x768 to show up
[07:04] <benjgvps> Though now the screen scrools
[07:04] <benjgvps> scrolls*
[07:04] <bleepbloop> kcj1993: yeah the grey circle with notches in it that spins around
[07:04] <saica> Soslas: Are you saying you want to be able to log out of "ubuntu" and log into "root" or boot directly to "root" on the livecd?
[07:04] <bleepbloop> sort of, i guess
[07:05] <Soslas> saica: no i am trying an ssh connection to that machine but want to log in to the root user
[07:05] <Soslas> anyway it must be enabled
[07:06] <SoftwareExplorer> Soslas: You could add an authorized public key
[07:06] <Soslas> no way
[07:06] <Soslas> sudo passwd root
[07:06] <Soslas> is this enough?
[07:06] <giantpune> hey guys, i just got the grub error "you need to load the kernel first"  any way to fix it if i cant even get into ubuntu?
[07:06] <SoftwareExplorer> Soslas: The public key method is safer
[07:06] <cjae> !reader
[07:06] <Soslas> SoftwareExplorer: look i am normally an archlinux user
[07:06] <saica> Soslas: does that allow you to specify a password?
[07:07] <Soslas> SoftwareExplorer: so i wont mess up
[07:07] <mota_> hi can someone tell me why when I google something linkd comes up?
[07:07] <cjae> Calibre for Sony Reader?
[07:07] <mota_> and why all the search engines are messed up ? and dont work ?
[07:08] <cjae> what folder does one install pdfs to on memory stick
[07:08] <Soslas> saica: i am root now
[07:08] <mota_> is it malwares / spyware  ???
[07:08] <Soslas> Just dont be afraid to help people
[07:08] <cjae> !calibre
[07:08] <Soslas> nearly every distro has root enabled
[07:08] <cjae> ! info calibre
[07:08] <cjae> !info calibre
[07:09] <Tesssa> where would i find Launchpad saica
[07:09] <benjgvps> Weird, I got 1024x768 to work, though my monitor is still at 800x600 and scrolls around
[07:09] <DryGrain> ok guys. how do I apply chmod to all subfolders and files?
[07:10] <SoftwareExplorer> Tesssa: launchpad.net
[07:10] <SoftwareExplorer> DryGrain: chmod -R
[07:11] <DryGrain> thanks!
[07:11] <SoftwareExplorer> DryGrain: You're welcome :)
[07:12] <Broly> benjgvps: are you having trouble getting a resolution you want to?
[07:12] <DryGrain> Hmm, it says Read only file system
[07:12] <DryGrain> i did it in a root console
[07:12] <benjgvps> Broly: Yeah
[07:12] <DryGrain> D:
[07:12] <zerwas> bendsinister> that's called virtual resolution
[07:12] <benjgvps> zerwas: Yeah, though I know this monitor can do it
[07:12] <zerwas> benjgvps>  that's called virtual resolution
[07:12] <SoftwareExplorer> DryGrain: What does it say when you run "mount"
[07:12] <prathap> Is Linux needed graphic card ?
[07:13] <Broly> benjgvps: sounds like my problem. Are you using nvidia drivers?
[07:13] <benjgvps> Broly: Nah, the card is a rage128
[07:13] <benjgvps> in an old iMac G3
[07:13] <DryGrain> /dev/sdb1 on /media/INTERNAL type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=devkit,uid=1000,gid=1000,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,flush)
[07:13] <DryGrain> thats the relevant entry SoftwareExplorer
[07:14] <DryGrain> its a tomtom gps unit
[07:14] <Katie> Hey, is anyone running an ATI card here with S-Video out as primary?
[07:14] <rejohn> What sw is good for being able to make notes on a text file (or html page) while reading it? Highlighting with colors, underlining, commenting, writing in "margins", etc?? Thanks :)
[07:14] <prathap> Is Linux needed graphic card ?
[07:15] <Broly> benjgvp: how are you changing settings?
[07:15] <benjgvps> Broly: xrandr
[07:15] <SoftwareExplorer> DryGrain: It's a fat32 filesystem. Fat32 doesn't support permissions. (Yes, I have made the same mistake, and it took me about an hour to figure out why it wouldn't work)
[07:16] <DryGrain> well that odd then
[07:16] <DryGrain> i get permissions errors on it
[07:16] <DryGrain> when i try to save map preferences
[07:16] <Katie> I'm trying to set up my box as a dvr, and I'm able to get S-video to work as dualscreen (not clone) but not primary.
[07:16] <benjgvps> Is there any other way to change resolutions than xrandr?
[07:16] <Broly> benjgvps: i've found somthing that says use cvt to get a string for your res and then use xrandr to set that mode
[07:16] <DryGrain> the unit itslf runs the linux kernel, but the software to interface with it is win/mac exclusive
[07:16] <benjgvps> Broly: That's what I've done
[07:17] <Broly> but it won't accept anything
[07:17] <saica> so I'm going to try the solution here http://chevdor.blogspot.com/2009/06/installing-ubuntu-on-raid10-sata-array.html
[07:17] <SoftwareExplorer> DryGrain: Maybe I was wrong. It could be ntfs.
[07:17] <benjgvps> Hmm
[07:17] <benjgvps> This is very frustrating
[07:17] <Broly> yep
[07:17]  * SoftwareExplorer goes to google
[07:17] <benjgvps> Though this has been the closest thing to working
[07:17] <Broly> using 9.10?
[07:17] <benjgvps> Broly: 9.04
[07:17] <DryGrain> :/
[07:18] <saica> but the code looks a little funny to me...
[07:19] <Broly> i've also been trying to edit xorg.conf but it doesn't seem to do anything
[07:19]  * saica really needs to solve his own problems before handing out any more "advice"
[07:20] <benjgvps> This is depressing, Mac OS 9 was able to get the resolution, and even Linux a few days ago
[07:20] <benjgvps> Though in a hacky way
[07:20] <Broly> how did you get it to work?
[07:20] <benjgvps> It isn't relevent to anything other than an iMac, though it was using some openfirmware video driver
[07:21] <aaron11> Hello there! I want to know why Evolution and Pidgin starts up wenever I boot up. I looked in system-->Preferences-->Startup Applications but there is nothing related to evolution starting up. There is only the Evolution Alarm Notifier and I dont suppose that is responsible and anyways I can't un-check it because I need it! There is nothing related to pidgin either, It starts up every login. Im running Karmic Koala...
[07:21] <benjgvps> Wasn't accellerated, there was some corruption
[07:21] <benjgvps> A mess
[07:21] <Tesssa> my sound card is a nvidia(alsamixer) saica
[07:22] <SoftwareExplorer> DryGrain: I was right (proof:https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/164507)
[07:22] <benjgvps> I wish this iMac G3 was X86, then I would be able to install Windows
[07:23] <benjgvps> But silly apple, lets use a PPC!
[07:23] <Broly> lol
[07:25] <aaron11> Anyone with the same problem?
[07:26] <Broly> aaron11: i think you can just remove it from the panel
[07:27] <Broly> ie right click ->remove from panel
[07:27] <kinja-sheep> aaron11: I'm guessing you toggled on "Remember running applications when log out" thing?
[07:28] <aaron11> Broly: What! Thats not my problem
[07:28] <Broly> sorry was thinking empathy and evolution
[07:29] <RobotCow> what happened to this file in 9.10? /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common
[07:29] <aaron11> kinja-sheep: No thats disabled
[07:29] <saica> Tesssa: do you have padevchooser?
[07:29] <kinja-sheep> aaron11: Yes, but did you ran it? Did you enable it before?
[07:30] <aaron11> kinja-sheep: Yes I think so
[07:31] <kinja-sheep> aaron11: Okay. Try this. Enable it again. Close all applications and whatnot.   Ready?  Restart / or Log out.  Then when you're back in. untoggle it right away.
[07:31] <aaron11> kinja-sheep: So how do I stop this from happening
[07:31] <aaron11> ok
[07:32] <aaron11> KINJAOK

[07:36] <giantpune> anybody had any success in fixing the "you need to load the kernel first"  error?
[07:36] <saica> initramfs keeps losing modules, like dmraid, whenever it gets updated.
[07:36] <saica> so my system is unbootable after every other update...
[07:36] <Kamokow> saica: oh... yea, sorrry, I cant help thare :-/
[07:37] <saica> Kamokow: know anyone who can?
[07:37] <DryGrain> thx SoftCoder
[07:37] <DryGrain> SoftwareExplorer,
[07:37]  * saica has read nearly one thousand pages of forums, blogs, wikis, and chatlogs on the matter.
[07:38] <Kamokow> saice: Well, i dont know, some questions some people just cant answer... i know from personal experience :-/
[07:40] <saica> Kamokw: I know as well... often I have to dig in and come up with my own solution.. but I'm no pro, so by the time I've recompiled the source code, reinstalled whatever it is, edited ten configuration files, and downgraded a kernel or something... I'm so tired I don't even want to use the computer anymore...
[07:40] <SoftwareExplorer> DryGrain: You're welcome
[07:40] <Kamokow> saica: I know how it feels, but Im okay with it, because thats half the fun of linux :P
[07:41] <kinja-sheep> saica: Where do you put modules in?
[07:41] <om26er_> !test
[07:41] <saica> i'm getting close now... maybe dm-raid4-5 is NOT the correct module name for dmraid... although no one anywhere seems to have any conclusive proof of this...
[07:42] <lstarnes> saica: did you see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dmraid/+bug/247027 ?
[07:42] <DryGrain> SoftwareExplorer,
[07:43] <saica> kinja-sheep: for the problem i'm working on _i_ shouldn't have to put modules anywhere, but I'm trying to load them with /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
[07:43] <SoftwareExplorer> DryGrain: Yes?
[07:43] <DryGrain> the post recommedns me to chmod -R 777 /media/INTERNAL, which returns "Cannot bla bla, read only filesystem
[07:43] <blistov> I have 3 1.5TB drives.  I've wiped out all partitions, zero'd superblocks, and ensured no lvm's are attached to them.  When i create a new raid5 with these discs, they always set 1 drive as a spare, and there's a null disk that says faulty.
[07:43] <blistov> idea's?
[07:43] <DryGrain> how can my /media/folder be a read only filesystem?
[07:43] <mneptok> DryGrain: use sudo
[07:43] <lstarnes> DryGrain: it depends on how you mounted it
[07:43] <mneptok> DryGrain: the mount point is owned by root
[07:43] <DryGrain> its the mount point not the device itself
[07:43] <kinja-sheep> saica: You did ran "update-initramfs -u all" too?
[07:43] <saica> blistov, did you try dmraid -r -E ?
[07:43] <_dab> Hey guys, i can't install Ubuntu from my internal HDD partition, i get this http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/5376/installerror.jpg
[07:43] <DryGrain> yes i have a root trminal open for this
[07:44] <lstarnes> _dab: which version are you installing?
[07:44] <saica> kinja-sheep, yes, several times now... also update-initramfs -c -k all...
[07:44] <MrFSL> @blistov 3 drives for a raid5?
[07:45] <arunachalam> hi
[07:45] <leagris> hello
[07:45] <mdance> hey everyone
[07:46] <DryGrain> root@bluebook:/media# chown drygrain INTERNAL/
[07:46] <DryGrain> chown: changing ownership of `INTERNAL/': Read-only file system
[07:46] <saica> lstarnes: yes i have seen that. looks great! if busybox would just respond.... (no keyboard drivers are being loaded either). I think my problem is a little deeper. It's as if no kernel modules or drivers are being loaded at all.
[07:46] <leagris> please, I need help with recording Front Mic with aredord. Can't get it to
[07:46] <lstarnes> saica: what kind of keyboard are you using?
[07:46] <arunachalam> i have a problem  in enabling compiz
[07:46] <cece> hi,i love ubuntu
[07:46] <_dab> lstarnes, 9.10
[07:46] <SoftwareExplorer> DryGrain: but mount says / is writable, right?
[07:47] <SoftwareExplorer> cece: hi
[07:47] <_dab> i install it from internal hdd, which i dd from usb partition
[07:47] <_dab> cause i have not cdrom and can't boot from usb
[07:47] <lstarnes> DryGrain: what mount options did you use?
[07:48] <lstarnes> _dab: I don't think that is a supported method of installing ubuntu
[07:48] <arunachalam> connect
[07:48] <DryGrain> /dev/sdb1 on /media/INTERNAL type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=devkit,uid=1000,gid=1000,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,flush)
[07:48] <lstarnes> arunachalam: what problem are you having?
[07:48] <DryGrain> i uh pluggd the usb cable in
[07:48] <DryGrain> :D
[07:48] <lstarnes> DryGrain: those options appear to be good
[07:49] <mdance> ive recently upgraded to 9.10, now when i access users and groups, i can't modify anything, the unlock button is greyed saying "Not authorized to make changes", can someone help me out?
[07:49] <_dab> lstarnes, how can i install it otherwise?
[07:49] <DryGrain> well everything i try to do with it i get the error message "Read only file system"
[07:49] <_dab> now i working from this live system
[07:50] <mdance> things work fine when i run gksu users-admin
[07:50] <leagris> how does all this crazy Alsa Pulse audio work when I need to select which input to record ?
[07:50] <lstarnes> _dab: I'm not sure
[07:51] <saica> lstarnes: i have two keyboards, one wireless USB and one PS/2 both Japanese layout... neither work after Grub.
[07:52]  * giantpune wants to smack whoever is incharge of updating grub in the mouth
[07:53] <mrdudle> Any tutorials on how to make ubuntu look good on a netbook? Could use some advice so as not to make things smooshed but to still look nicer than the basic two panels.
[07:55] <saica> lstarnes: tried the modified script from that bug report just now.. no change...
[07:55] <DryGrain> Anyyone have any further suggestions for me?
[07:58] <n8tuser> DryGrain-> dmask?  google for that option, seems unfamiliar to me
[07:59] <rejohn> NOTE MAKING SW FOR READING - Suggestions???   What sw is good for being able to make notes on a text file (or html page) while reading it? Highlighting with colors, underlining, commenting, writing in "margins", etc?? Thanks :)
[07:59] <DryGrain> dmask eh
[08:02] <MenZa> How can I set Deluge to be the default application to open .torrent files?
[08:02] <isolat3dsh33p> MenZa: Prefered applications
[08:03] <MenZa> isolat3dsh33p: I don't see it in there. I have Internet, Multimedia, System, and Accessibility.
[08:03] <pepsi> im not sure why this is so difficult.. perhaps its because gvfs documentation is nowhere to be found.. how do i mount a partition automagically so that gvfs knows its mounted?
[08:03] <isolat3dsh33p> MenZa: System->Preferences->Prefered Applications
[08:03] <pepsi> adding a line in fstab mounts it, but then 2 entries per partition show up in the Places menu
[08:03] <MenZa> isolat3dsh33p: That's where I'm looking. I can set web browser, e-mail reader and such, but I can't find how to associate .torrent files with Deluge.
[08:04] <dhananjay> MenSa: Properties of any torrent file?
[08:04] <MenZa> Ahh, right
[08:05] <isolat3dsh33p> Just about to say that :(
[08:07] <Scott__> just reading a good point about hibernation in ubuntu 9.10
[08:07] <Scott__> does anyone have issuse withthere hibernation
[08:08] <dhananjay> yeh, it takes a long time
[08:09]  * quequotion is actually saica.... i got disconnected somehow and saica became a zombie...
[08:09] <quinn> http://is.gd/5CVpr
[08:10] <Scott__> did you or have u the correct swap size in your partioning there is a known issue in the ubuntu automatic installation process
[08:10] <Scott__> it doesn not somtimes allocate enough size to the swap to match the szie of your ram
[08:11] <Scott__> this creates the hibernation to not work corectly
[08:12] <dhananjay> I have swap 4 gigs,
[08:12] <kinja-sheep> dhananjay: You're lucky. I have no swap. :(
[08:14] <dhananjay> kinja-sheep. It's like having a backup, isn't it? we don't need swap usually need it, isn't?
[08:14] <kinja-sheep> !swap
[08:15] <kinja-sheep> dhananjay: I have 3GB Ram and it shows that i'm only using 861MBright now (29%).
[08:16] <kinja-sheep> dhananjay: Ram is the primary memory and is faster than secondary memory (hard drive, or swap on HDD).
[08:16] <Scott__> can we stop swap on ubuntu
[08:16] <mysphyt> Hey, folks.  I've just installed Karmic on my Macbook Pro 5,1.  When I installed the proprietary NVIDIA driver, suddenly X quit working on me.  I can't access my Xorg.0.log right now, because I can't mount my linux partition in OSX yet, but it seems to die when it tries to load the GLX module.  I get no error and a blank backtrace in the log, and then just a blank screen.  Any ideas?
[08:17] <dhananjay> kinja-sheep. I've 4 gigs of ddr3, so I can safely work without swap?
[08:17] <Jkessler> how do i "reset" my webcam after using skype?  if i try to run cheese or any other application that accesses the camera, it says there's no camera found
[08:17] <kinja-sheep> Scott__: You can disable it.
[08:17] <Scott__> cool kinja how
[08:17] <giantpune> the nVidia driver killed my ubuntu 8.10 setup
[08:17] <dhananjay> scott_ swapoff <swapfile>
[08:17] <giantpune> i had to stick with the default
[08:18] <kinja-sheep> dhananjay: I haven't experienced anything differently. Others may encourage you to use swap, 512MB - 1G is more than enough.
[08:18] <Scott__> sudo swapoff
[08:18] <dhananjay> :)
[08:18] <kinja-sheep> Scott__: I don't know. I'd have to search first. :o
[08:18] <Scott__> the swap file name where is this im looking now
[08:19] <dhananjay> scott_ fstab?
[08:19] <dhananjay> scott_ or use swapoff -a
[08:19] <dhananjay> scott__ or use swapoff -a
[08:20] <Scott__> sudo swapoff -a is a cmd for just turning it of regardless of where mounted and named yes
[08:20] <Scott__> and how to turn back on
[08:21] <Scott__> how does the fstab way work
[08:21] <kinja-sheep> Scott__: swapon -a :O
[08:21] <kinja-sheep> Scott__: Excluding the smiley face.  You can run "swapon --help"
[08:21] <Scott__> ok cool easy isnt it hey
[08:21] <Scott__> off and on got ya
[08:21] <Scott__> what do u reccomend the minimum ram to turn swap off is
[08:22] <Scott__> i used to run windows with dwap off
[08:22] <Scott__> swap
[08:22] <Scott__> or page filing at least
[08:23] <giantpune> my laptop is only 1gb ram and i dont use swap
[08:23] <giantpune> its fine
[08:23] <dhananjay> windows recommeds 1.5 physical ram to be allotted as page file :O
[08:23] <Scott__> if i stop swap can i reallocate the sawp partition to use it
[08:23] <Scott__> or does this need to be done during install
[08:23] <dhananjay> scott__. yeh
[08:24] <Scott__> so manual install and remove the swap area and run sudo swapoff -a when afterinstall on first boot
[08:25] <Scott__> do u find a speed increase with swap off dhananjay
[08:26] <vj> what does cd ~hpotter do?
[08:26] <Scott__> and do u at all slow down and or freeze on high demand
[08:26] <kheera> vj: ~ translates to your home directory.
[08:26] <Scott__> vj it downloads harry potter to ure desktop
[08:26] <vj> then wht abt ~hpotter
[08:27] <dhananjay> Scott__. not really.
[08:27] <Scott__> it just streams it to ur desktop
[08:27] <vj> oh thank u scott
[08:27] <kinja-sheep> vj: Run it. It should say "bash: cd: Zomg: What? No such file or directory."
[08:27] <Scott__> im only kidding by the way
[08:28] <kinja-sheep> vj: Is hpotter your user name? Harry Potter?
[08:28] <kheera> vj: assuming you have a folder called hpotter in your home dir, cd ~/hpotter would move you into that folder.
[08:28] <mysphyt> Hmm.  Anybody know how to re-generate the default xorg.conf for Ubuntu?
[08:28] <donvito-> how to restart sshd ?
[08:28] <vj> no its not my user name kinja-sheep
[08:28] <kinja-sheep> donvito-: sudo service sshd restart
[08:29] <Scott__> is sudo swapoff -a permanant after rebooting or do i need to do this every boot
[08:29] <donvito-> the line please
[08:29] <donvito-> i cant get it
[08:30] <haresh> hello guys
[08:30] <donvito-> how to restart sshd ?
[08:30] <mysphyt> Heyo.
[08:30] <kolt> hi!
[08:30] <Scott__> try removing all your video drivers and also the video-all-drivers and reinstalling them mysphyt
[08:30] <Scott__> purging them also may help
[08:30] <Mr> hey, what's up ? =)
[08:30] <vj> can any1 help me in understanding screen command?
[08:30] <Scott__> but u should have a backup.conf
[08:30] <kinja-sheep> mysphyt: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[08:31] <Scott__> thats it
[08:31] <vj> can any1 help me in understanding screen command?
[08:31] <Scott__> the dpkgone works wonders
[08:31] <mysphyt> Thanks, kinja-sheep.  I knew it was dpkg-reconfigure but I couldn't remember the right package name.
[08:31] <mysphyt> Okay.  Off I go to try again.
[08:31] <lstarnes> vj: what help do you need with it?
[08:31] <kinja-sheep> mysphyt: No problem. :o
[08:31] <lstarnes> vj: have you checked the man page for screen?
[08:32] <vj> ya i saw but couldnt get the exact use of it
[08:32] <kinja-sheep> vj: http://tinyurl.com/4zgdsq
[08:32] <vj> thank u
[08:32] <kheera> screen basics - <ctrl>-a is used to send screen a command.  <ctrl>-a c starts a new screen, <ctrl>-a <space> switches between screens, <ctrl>-a d detaches screen and screen -r resumes screen.
[08:32] <Guest23980> anyone here ?!
[08:33] <lstarnes> Guest23980: hi
[08:33] <kheera> screen is used to run multiple windows in a shell and allows you to start processes on a remote system and keep them running even after you have disconnected from the system.

[08:59] <DrManhattan> aye chihuahua.
[08:59] <p1oooop> hello, I was wondering what happened to my projectM
[08:59] <quequotion> alright... after digging quite a lot, i find my initramfs does contain "dm-raid4-5.ko", "dm-message.ko", "dm-region_hash.ko", "dm-mem-cache.ko" as well as module for scsi megaraid... so what is going on here? why doesn't my system boot?
[08:59] <p1oooop> it doesn't work after I compiled the kernel
[08:59] <msh3l> i am now lctcher
[08:59] <p1oooop> here's what I got
[08:59] <msh3l> sindy
[08:59] <APERSON> p1oooop, use a pastebin
[08:59] <lstarnes> quequotion: what do you have in your config for grub?
[09:00] <Threetimes> Hi, is there a way to display the contents of a XML file like http://top2009.radio2.nl/data/dallet/onair.xml in my GNOME panel? I want to see what song is playing...

[09:02] <lstarnes> quequotion: I'm confused
[09:03] <quequotion> the problem is not grub. i am getting past grub, but when entering the initramfs everything goes haywire
[09:03] <msh3l> hi
[09:03] <p1oooop> wow, seems like we're all having kernel problems :P
[09:03] <quequotion> my initramfs is either not loading modules or not loading them in the right order...
[09:03] <lstarnes> quequotion: which version of ubuntu are you using?
[09:03] <DEATHWISH> hello there bill just to let you know i downloaded the latest drivers & even upgraded to Ver: 9.10
[09:03] <quequotion> Jaunty
[09:03] <isolat3dsh33p> there's a new updates or something?
[09:04] <koshari> trash is empty but shows 15 items on icon?
[09:04] <p1oooop> I recompiled my kernel using my own specs
[09:04] <p1oooop> I ended up screwing things up pretty badly
[09:04] <msh3l> plz tell me any error
[09:04] <ShazbotMcNasty> what
[09:04] <isolat3dsh33p> koshari: they should be gone after you reboot.
[09:04] <p1oooop> I would but it would be easier for all of us if I just reset the kernel
[09:05] <ShazbotMcNasty> msh3l, my cd drive doesn't work.
[09:05] <mneptok> msh3l: do you have an Ubuntu support question?
[09:05] <DrManhattan> theres a reason there's stock kernels.
[09:05] <DEATHWISH> msh3l ohhhhh god please stop FOOLING around
[09:05] <koshari> isolat3dsh33p reboot? thats so windowsish!
[09:05]  * p1oooop warns people to know what they're doing before they recompile the kernel
[09:05] <quequotion> p1ooooop: lol i've heard it is theoretically possible to make a custom kernel for a tuned up system, but it never seems to work out like one expects..
[09:05] <jussi01> !kernel
[09:05] <isolat3dsh33p> koshari: sorry then. It works for me. :/
[09:05] <p1oooop> quequotion: well, it seems I screwed up pretty badly
[09:06] <cjae> anyone catch my calibre question
[09:06] <Archanamiya> When I try start pulseaudio, I get this error: "Failed to load  module "module-alsa-sink" (argument: ""): initialization failed."
[09:06] <p1oooop> quequotion: imma reenable some filesystems :P
[09:06] <msh3l> kipass snera
[09:07] <isolat3dsh33p> thanks mneptok :)
[09:07] <BinaryMan> What just happened?
[09:07] <p1oooop> anyone know what /proc/mounts is? as in filesystem wise?
[09:07] <quequotion> anybody want to have a kernel roast party? we'll install every version of the linux kernel we can to as many spare hard disks as it takes and start a bonfire.
[09:07] <mneptok> M: do *you* have an Ubuntu support question?
[09:07] <Archanamiya> When I try start pulseaudio, I get this error: "Failed to load  module "module-alsa-sink" (argument: ""): initialization failed."
[09:07] <lstarnes> p1oooop: it lists mount points
[09:08] <Brid> Hello
[09:08] <p1oooop> huh, so I guess I really screwed up this time, huh
[09:08] <BinaryMan> p1oooop: proc itself is a file system that represents kernel states. /proc/mounts is as lstarnes said.
[09:08] <Brid> Ubuntu 9.10 is cool ;)
[09:08] <Archanamiya> When I try start pulseaudio, I get this error: "Failed to load  module "module-alsa-sink" (argument: ""): initialization failed."

[09:08] <p1oooop> yes, it is
[09:08] <BinaryMan> redhat has a good manual on /proc and how it works.
[09:08] <quequotion> as far as i know, everything in /proc/ is a virtual filesystem. it should only exist while the kernel is active..

[09:11] <Archanamiya> :P
[09:11] <isolat3dsh33p> Archanamiya: some one just did
[09:11] <mneptok> Archanamiya: acknowledged. now please be patient and do not repeat your question every minute.
[09:11] <lstarnes> Archanamiya: but in order to cut down on traffic, we don't acknowledge things often
[09:11] <Archanamiya> Fair
[09:11] <DrManhattan> I acknowledge you, and I have nothing but warm fuzzies for you. Unfortunately, im not much help for your problem.
[09:11] <lstarnes> Archanamiya: unless we have a solution or a question
[09:11] <Archanamiya> :/ k
[09:11] <zerwas> Archanamiya> pulseaudio should start automatically after an installation of ubuntu. why do you try to start it manually? :-o
[09:12] <Archanamiya> zerwas, http://test.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578
[09:12] <Archanamiya> I broke it ;-;
[09:13] <bill_> DEATHWISH:  Thanks for the info.  I'm going to see if I can find the appropiate drivers for my cards.
[09:13]  * quequotion has no faith in update-initramfs any more...
[09:13]  * kinja-sheep giggled manically.
[09:14]  * isolat3dsh33p have no idea what initramfs is
[09:14] <p1oooop> does anyone have a good guide to optimize the kernel?
[09:14] <p1oooop> initramfs is a filesystem
[09:15] <kinja-sheep> quequotion: It could be that the modules are loaded and is just a red herring to your problem.
[09:15] <kinja-sheep> !kernel | p1oooop (maybe?)
[09:15] <p1oooop> it seems I have to recompile projectM
[09:16] <quequotion> Alright, i have an idea: I'm going to reboot from a Jaunty livecd and make an intramfs with mkinitramfs -o initramfscustom.img, then try to boot my various kernels with it... i have a feeling this will work, but i don't regard it as any kind of solution. Why did all my initramfs break in the first place?
[09:17] <quequotion> btw... any ideas how to mkinitramfs for a kernel that is not running?
[09:18] <kinja-sheep> quequotion: Because you didn't make any backups before you performed ornately on them.
[09:18]  * isolat3dsh33p just learning bash. Couldn't help with initframfs
[09:19] <Archanamiya> When I try start pulseaudio, I get this error: "Failed to load  module "module-alsa-sink" (argument: ""): initialization failed."
[09:19] <quequotion> kinja-sheep: the initramfs was broken during a normal update. i didn't do any custom tinkering beforehand.
[09:19] <isolat3dsh33p> Archanamiya: what's your ubuntu version?
[09:19] <pk> which file is to be modified to set a static IP?
[09:20] <Archanamiya> isolat3dsh33p, 8.04
[09:20] <kinja-sheep> quequotion: Any chance you know which packages?
[09:20] <mnn> .
[09:20] <ZykoticK9> pk, /etc/network/interfaces (usually easier to use Gnome-Network-Manager applet though)
[09:21] <tawan> /exec -o locate ardco            this will help :ɔ
[09:21] <pk> i want to edit file and wish to make it immutable
[09:21] <p1oooop> Archanamiya: are you using a custom kenel?

[09:22] <Archanamiya> My sound is gone ;-;
[09:22] <quequotion> kinja-sheep: backports-modules and linux-image-2.6.28-17-generic for sure, possibly others. it was during an apt-get upgrade..
[09:22] <isolat3dsh33p> p1oooop: You're too advance
[09:22] <p1oooop> Archanamiya: modprobe module-alsa-sink
[09:22] <Archanamiya> k
[09:22] <p1oooop> isolat3dsh33p: I was kidding
[09:22] <isolat3dsh33p> p1oooop: i was stating fact ;)
[09:23] <Archanamiya> p1oooop: FATAL: Module module_alsa_sink not found.
[09:23] <quequotion> kinja-sheep: also important to note i've had this problem frequently, in three different versions of ubuntu.
[09:23] <p1oooop> Archanamiya: oops, lemme find the module... wrong one, my fault
[09:23] <kinja-sheep> !info linux-image
[09:23] <Archanamiya> p1oooop, k
[09:23] <kinja-sheep> quequotion: Hardy?
[09:24] <lao5> my flash also misses sounds sometimes, but i dont know why. i just reboot the system,then okay.
[09:24] <quequotion> kinja-sheep: Intrepid, Jaunty, and Karmic. never tried Hardy.
[09:24] <kinja-sheep> quequotion: And you have reasons to believe that it is the modules? You could load them in specific order too.
[09:25] <hatake_kakashi> lao5, have you tried restarting the browser instead of the computer?
[09:25] <quequotion> kinja-sheep: THAT SOUNDS VERY INTERESTING TO ME.
[09:25] <lao5> hatake_kakashi: yes ,i did. but it no use
[09:25] <hatake_kakashi> lao5, weird
[09:25] <quequotion> i would like to see the order they are being loaded in, for i suspect it is wrong.
[09:25] <lao5> hatake_kakashi: mm
[09:25] <kinja-sheep> !blacklist | quequotion
[09:25] <kotis> hi. when i change my resolution to 1680x1050, i have big "empty" black space in the left side and a bit smaller black space in the right side. so the picture doesn't look right.  what can i do to make it look better? i have viewsonic va2216w, ubuntu 9.10, nvidia 7300gs. nvidia-settings think that i have crt monitor.
[09:25] <hatake_kakashi> lao5, which browser you using and which version?
[09:25] <Threetimes> Hi, is there a way to display the contents of a XML file like http://top2009.radio2.nl/data/dallet/onair.xml in my GNOME panel? I want to see what song is playing...
[09:26] <lao5> hatake_kakashi: firefor 3.5
[09:26] <quequotion> I don't have any reason to blacklist modules, as far as I know.
[09:26] <lao5> hatake_kakashi: firefox..
[09:26] <isolat3dsh33p> lao5: do you have flashplugin-nonfree or flashplugin-installer installed?
[09:26] <hatake_kakashi> lao5, and distro version? :)
[09:26] <Archanamiya> Help?
[09:26] <lao5> hatake_kakashi: ubuntu8.04, with flashplugin-nonfree installed
[09:26] <kinja-sheep> quequotion: The second statement of that factoid.
[09:26] <quequotion> ah... i have the modules i need listed in /etc/iniramfs-tools/modules... but it doesn't work.
[09:27] <isolat3dsh33p> lao5: try remove the flashplugin-nonfree. See if everything works fine after that :)
[09:27] <lao5> hatake_kakashi: sorry. it's ff 3.0.16
[09:27] <hatake_kakashi> lao5, I reckon it could be just firefox, I have 3.0.16 on jaunty, all I need to do is restart firefox and the problem ceases to appear for awhile
[09:27] <kinja-sheep> quequotion: You can fix it manually though?
[09:27] <jm> any chance of some help getting local networking to work please. my router says the devices in my home network are connected and i can ping them but for some reason dns is not working. when i look in wireshark all i see was seeing was a a bunch of mdns requests to <IP_ADDRESS> but now ping just says unknown host. I've googles but can't find anything appropriate I don't think i've got the terms right. I'm not running bind
[09:28] <p1oooop> Archanamiya: yeah, IDK about that
[09:28] <hatake_kakashi> jm, add the dns servers from what your ISP provided you
[09:28] <Archanamiya> God damn
[09:28] <p1oooop> Archanamiya: did you try " sudo alsa start "
[09:28] <Archanamiya> lemme
[09:29] <lao5> hatake_kakashi: in fact i did remove flashplugin-nonfree then, and re-install it. but it is no use. i am dwelled.
[09:29] <p1oooop> Archanamiya: I'm sorry " sudo alsa reload "
[09:29] <jm> anyone have any idea what <IP_ADDRESS> is?
[09:29] <Archanamiya> ya
[09:29] <Archanamiya> all is well
[09:29] <quequotion> kinja-sheep: i've tried. i have listed the module dm-raid4-5 (also dm-raid45) in this file and others, updated the initramfs with update-initramfs -u -k all (and on other occasions with -c -k all) but it never gets that far. I don't know where it's breaking down, but it's as if no modules of any kind get loaded..
[09:29] <p1oooop> it worked?
[09:29] <isolat3dsh33p> Archanamiya: What's your version again?
[09:29] <Archanamiya> isolat3dsh33p, 8.04
[09:29] <p1oooop> jm: is it an IP?
[09:30] <Archanamiya> p1oooop, no it reloaded, but still no pulse, still no sound :(
[09:30] <Archanamiya> jm, looks like an IP address
[09:30] <ardchoille> jm:  http://whois.domaintools.com/<IP_ADDRESS>
[09:30] <lao5> the flash is soundless, but the totem is fine. a little strange for me.
[09:30] <hatake_kakashi> lao5, flashplugin-installer on my one
[09:30] <jm> um yeah i suppose but why is a ping to a device on my local network failing but generating lots of mdns queries there?
[09:30] <hatake_kakashi> I believe its the plugin that is causing the issue
[09:31] <kinja-sheep> quequotion: That sounds frustrating. What does the error message say specifically? I'll try search engines.
[09:31] <quequotion> kinja-sheep: in intrepid this was a simple matter of editing the config files and updating the initramfs; in karmic i had a similar problem but the solution was to change the partition table from GPT to MSDOS, jaunty seems to have a different problem..
[09:31] <lao5> hatake_kakashi: fine. i would try flashplugin-installer then. thx. :)
[09:31] <Threetimes> Hi, is there a way to display the contents of a XML file like http://top2009.radio2.nl/data/dallet/onair.xml in my GNOME panel? I want to see what song is playing...
[09:31] <quequotion> kinja-sheep: give me a minute to type it out
[09:32] <isolat3dsh33p> Archanamiya: done this « asoundconf set-pulseaudio » ?
[09:32] <p1oooop> Archanamiya: did you try pulseaudio after it reloaded?
[09:32] <Archanamiya> WILL DO

[09:32] <Archanamiya> p1oooop, yeah
[09:32] <isolat3dsh33p> lao5: no, don't install any and try flash :)
[09:32] <p1oooop> huh, my bad then
[09:32] <Archanamiya> isolat3dsh33p, no luck
[09:32] <hatake_kakashi> jm, I think its actually searching for a mask within that range.. no IP address afaik would have number 0 or 255.. they aren't valid IP addresses

[09:33] <lao5> isolat3dsh33p: but without them, how could i play flash in ff?..
[09:33] <p1oooop> lilyshu: right click the website and click on view website info
[09:34] <isolat3dsh33p> lao5: I don't have any of them installed, still i can use flash fine. Provided i'm using 9.10
[09:34] <jm> ok so im stuck i can ping the device by it's ip address but i can't ping by the name that comes up in the wireless router attached devices page
[09:34] <jm> not sure what changed but it was workign a few days ago
[09:34] <p1oooop> lilyshu: I'm sorry, "view page info"
[09:34] <lao5> isolat3dsh33p: i think ff would tip me to install flashplugin if none of them installed..
[09:34] <Archanamiya> Help please. I've got no damn sound
[09:34] <quequotion> i get this message three times, once for /sbin/udevd, /sbin/usplash, and dmraid "error loading shared libraries: libdl.so.2" no such file or directory" (which actually means, rather than the file cannot be found, the disk it is on cannot be found) then i get "Gave up waiting for root device" and "ALERT! /dev/mapper/nvidia_dcgcffh1" does not exist!" and dropped to busybox. unfortunately, the keyboard isn't loaded either and i can't u
[09:34] <lao5> isolat3dsh33p: that's when the ff freshly installed.
[09:35] <hatake_kakashi> jm, I think you need to add your router's IP address as a dns server and see if it would resolve the name of a computer on the LAN to IP address
[09:35] <isolat3dsh33p> Archanamiya: what « aplay -l » gives you?
[09:35] <kinja-sheep> jm: What is in your /etc/resolv.conf ?
[09:35] <Archanamiya> isolat3dsh33p:

[09:39] <hatake_kakashi> ahh I never bothered with pulseaudio.. that thing is buggy as hell, all I do is remove it and make apps use alsa instead
[09:39] <Archanamiya> kk
[09:39] <Archanamiya> how?
[09:40] <lilyshu> p1oooop, no luck, thanks anyway :-)
[09:40] <Threetimes> Hi, is there a way to display the contents of a XML file like http://top2009.radio2.nl/data/dallet/onair.xml in my GNOME panel? I want to see what song is playing...
[09:40] <hatake_kakashi> decent sound programs allows you to set the sound server or driver
[09:40] <jm> service avahi-daemon stop causes ping to respond immediately with unknown host (with no mdns traffic in wireshark) . restarting avahi makes the ping take a moment longer during which time it is generating mdns traffic. I'd rather not manually assign each device a static ip if i can avoid that - if it is the only way then fine but why is avahi-daemon failing?
[09:40] <Archanamiya> hatake_kakashi, please go on
[09:40] <p1oooop> lilyshu: there's another way... if the website has a secure connection
[09:40] <p1oooop> lilyshu: you can view their certificate
[09:40] <_polto_> hi, did anybody used Omnikey 6121 USB authentification key on Linux ?
[09:41] <_polto_> I am not able to get it work properly.
[09:41] <hatake_kakashi> Archanamiya, I personally don't recommend removing pulseaudio, I have tried setting pulseaudio up for one of my mate whom is a dj. He wanted global equaliser.. exact same guide as you posted but I could never get it working
[09:41] <jm> where are the ubunut firewall settings?
[09:41] <_polto_> pcsc_scan recognize it,  but then nothing.
[09:41] <Archanamiya> Basically
[09:41] <ardchoille> !firewall | jm
[09:41] <Archanamiya> I need to revert the guide's changes
[09:42] <lilyshu> p1oooop, can you tell me how?
[09:42] <hatake_kakashi> Archanamiya, on my setup, xubuntu jaunty, I removed pulseaudio because it interfered with how the sound were to be played, that and the compounded problem with vhba (somehow)
[09:42] <kinja-sheep> jm: If you never messed around with firewall, it's probably not it.
[09:42] <Archanamiya> So
[09:42] <jm> ok so i did ufw disable as sudo and still got the same problem - yeah never messed with it
[09:42] <Archanamiya> What should I do?
[09:42] <hatake_kakashi> Archanamiya, I dunno, aptitude remove pulseaudio I suppose
[09:42] <Archanamiya> What is this module-alsa-sink
[09:43] <hatake_kakashi> not sure
[09:43] <Archanamiya> I saw an error about it in one of the guide's first steps
[09:43] <p1oooop> lilyshu: same method as before, right click the page and left click view page information... but it only works if the page is using a secure connection
[09:43] <isolat3dsh33p> Archanamiya: which 1st step?
[09:43] <Archanamiya> isolat3dsh33p, Part A, step 2
[09:44] <ZykoticK9> Archanamiya, FYI if you remove Pulse you won't have a volume control in the panel any more -- just something to keep in mind
[09:44] <Archanamiya> ya
[09:44] <Archanamiya> I'm not gunna rm it
[09:44] <isolat3dsh33p> this > « sudo apt-get install libasound2-plugins padevchooser libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio » ?
[09:44] <Archanamiya> k
[09:44] <quequotion> why do so many people suggest the solution to pulseaudio problems is to remove pulseaudio? it's not that bad!
[09:44] <p1oooop> Archanamiya: you can always purge it and install again
[09:45] <Archanamiya> p1oooop, I did
[09:45] <kinja-sheep> jm: Maybe you configured the router?
[09:45] <Archanamiya> Wait
[09:45] <Archanamiya> p1oooop, Purge what?
[09:45] <isolat3dsh33p> quequotion: It reacts slow :/
[09:45] <p1oooop> sudo apt-get purge libpulse
[09:45] <Archanamiya> k
[09:45] <p1oooop> I think that's it
[09:45] <hatake_kakashi> quentusrex, could never get the thing to work properly so I removed it, problem solved using pure alsa
[09:45] <isolat3dsh33p> but is still use pulseaudio though
[09:45] <p1oooop> IDK
[09:45] <kinja-sheep> quequotion: Nobody like to keep up with advancements.
[09:45] <Archanamiya> The oddest thing though
[09:46] <Archanamiya> When my computer started up, I heard the login screen sound
[09:46] <jm> yeah i'm wondering - have been messing with that i have a router connected to a switch and have asked the router to share RIP in both directions using RIP-1, RIP-2B and RIP-2M none seem to work
[09:46] <Archanamiya> But nothing after logging in
[09:46] <hatake_kakashi> kinja-sheep, and not all advancements work well
[09:46] <jm> thing is if the mdns request is going to <IP_ADDRESS> will the router even get involved?
[09:47] <kinja-sheep> hatake_kakashi: Indeed. Invention of the wheel! Evil! Split the Amish community in two. :(
[09:47] <Archanamiya> Wait a minute...
[09:47]  * quequotion mutters a few more curses... attempt #23 has failed...
[09:47] <Archanamiya> HA
[09:47] <Archanamiya> I fixed it ><
[09:47] <Archanamiya> asoundconf unset-pulseaudio
[09:47] <Archanamiya> :P
[09:47] <isolat3dsh33p> Yay?
[09:47] <Archanamiya> Yay
[09:47] <jm> it is really annoying cos i have a lot of people visiting that want to hook up dhcp and share stuff - and i would rather not give them all static ips
[09:47] <FloodBot1> Archanamiya: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:48] <Archanamiya> Thanks to everyone :)
[09:48] <hatake_kakashi> kinja-sheep, somethings were never meant to work with everything, just like you can't have all the time and the money in this world
[09:48] <purplefool> ok, i see that everyone everywhere on the net thinks that pulseaudio should be removed...sounds good.  what is the best/easiest way to go about this?  please use small words, i am not very good at linux yet...
[09:49] <koshari> can you record system audio without a loop back cable?
[09:50] <jm> purplefool, have you used the package manager in the system->admin menu yet?
[09:50] <kinja-sheep> jm: It won't hurt to allow communications within LAN. You can have many switches as you want, but only one router (eg dhcp server).
[09:51] <kotis> when i change my resolution to 1680x1050, i have big "empty" black space in the left side and a bit smaller black space in the right side. so the picture doesn't look right.  what can i do to make it look better? i have viewsonic va2216w, ubuntu 9.10, nvidia 7300gs. nvidia-settings think that i have crt monitor.
[09:51] <jm> i thought so and  it has been working - i only have one router and switch and as far as i know only one dhcp server
[09:51] <pk> i wanted to make a .php file executale i have chmod it to +x and put #!/usr/bin/php -   in the starting but as soon as i run it i get Extension './filename.php' not present
[09:51] <purplefool> jm, no i haven't...thought it would be a bit more complicated then that.  should i just delete everything to do with pulseaudio there?  and what button do i push to make this reply red for you?
[09:52] <kinja-sheep> jm: I like those names, zen.local, earth.local, jupiter.local, ark.local
[09:52] <kinja-sheep> jm: Could be an intermittent problem. I'm trying to find out too.
[09:52] <Real_Ubot> Why is Virtual Box freezing just after I have started and getting into Windows XP desktop? Why is Virtual Box so slow just after loading the Windows installation I have?
[09:53]  * saica is quequotion. got disconnected again, and zombified again...
[09:53] <saica> Is there any current bug report for Jaunty misconfiguring initramfs automatically?
[09:53] <jm> purplefool, i think red must be a result of typing username, at the start of a comment you are appearing loud and red. if you want to remove a package just right click, blitz it and hit apply
[09:54] <wgrant> saica: Have you tried Ubuntu 9.10?
[09:54] <pk> please help me
[09:54] <purplefool> jm, will do that now.  and about the red i meant so that you see i have replied to you...been a while since i was here^^
[09:54] <saica> wgrant, yes I have. Karmic and I have danced our last dance. Too many bugs for me to put up with. Also, has the same problem (although i found a few work arounds).
[09:55] <jm> kinja-sheep, thanks - if you find anything would deeply appreciate you drop me a line jandcmoore@ <the search engine> people.com
[09:55] <andyl> is a intel core 2 quad core system with 8GB ram overkill for ubuntu for someone wishing to development in linux ?
[09:56] <jm> see you all next year
[09:56] <kinja-sheep> jm: I pinged a <machine>.local downstairs -- Something I haven't done for awhile. It worked. You have a mixed systems?
[09:56] <saica> the closest thing i can find online to my issue is this page: http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/ubuntu-initrd-bug.html
[09:56] <clausismus_> hi
[09:56] <jm> kinja-sheep, mixed systems?
[09:56] <kinja-sheep> jm: Windows, Mac, all furs of *nixes.
[09:56] <purplefool> jm, when deleting all the pulseaudio packages i got a warning i would also remove 'ubuntu desktop'...is that right?  should i?
[09:56] <ShazbotMcNasty> no
[09:57] <jm> purplefool, well that's the problem removing something so tied into ubuntu is not really a good idea
[09:57] <clausismus_> i'd like to send the internet from wlan0 to eth0, im using karmic, how can i achieve this
[09:57] <kinja-sheep> jm: All the machines are wired, right? Not wireless as they may get disconnected.
[09:57] <jm> kinja-sheep: well i suppose so, linux, appletv, seagate blackarmor, nintendo wii, couple of itouch
[09:57] <ShazbotMcNasty> clausismus_, wlan is wireless eth0 is wired
[09:58] <ardchoille> purplefool: ubuntu-desktop is only a metapackage and is safe to remove. You might want to reinstallit before doing an upgrades though
[09:58] <purplefool> jm, then how can i get rid of my sound problems?  it only happens in a few games, but it is rightly annoying...
[09:58] <jm> some wireless, some wired i can ping them all to the ip address
[09:58] <ZykoticK9> purplefool, removing pulse is a poor idea -- BUT ubuntu-desktop is just a meta packages, removing it won't cause any harm
[09:58] <kinja-sheep> jm: Make sure udp port 5353 is allowed for them + router.
[09:58] <da65> I guess there are lots of gamers on here, anyone know is Assins creed will run on win7  sry offtopic but I am about to buy
[09:58] <jm> purplefool, i'm not sure anyone has an answer - i think we've all been experiencing some form of sound problem (low volume, clicking , popping and no sound)
[09:58] <clausismus_> sry, but i think you know what i mean
[09:59] <ZykoticK9> purplefool, i had/have the same problem with some games and pulse -- and removing was a solution (not a good one, but a quasi-working one!)
[09:59] <purplefool> ok, then since i am a noob in linux i should probably just leave it until i understand more...or is there a way to use alsa and pulse together?
[10:00] <jm> how is that done?
[10:00] <M1TE5H> I have script and I want to run that script when any one login in to system including root
[10:00] <M1TE5H> how can I do
[10:00] <kinja-sheep> jm: Which machine are you having difficulty identifying with?
[10:00] <saica> purplefool: they work together by default.... pulseaudio will wrap around your alsa devices.
[10:00] <jm> here is my netstat http://paste.ubuntu.com/347511/
[10:02] <ZykoticK9> purplefool, something for you to "try" without removing pulse http://paste.ubuntu.com/347512/
[10:02] <purplefool> ZykoticK9, thx for the link...will take a look at it!
[10:02]  * saica wants to make a bug report but doesn't have enough information and can't get any more... what to do...
[10:02] <jm> bingo - turns out just one on particular, others working ok - have renamed the device using lower case and it seems to work
[10:03] <jm> weird maybe it was never working
[10:03] <jm> deep thanks kinja - much credit coming your way
[10:04] <kinja-sheep> jm: No problem. Is it working or is it not?
[10:04] <jm> it is working now
[10:05] <jm> in the settings for my blackarmor i renamed the device from Seastore to seastore and ping seastore.local now finds it
[10:05] <M1TE5H> I have script and I want to run that script when any one login in to system including root
[10:06] <kinja-sheep> jm: Ahh. I see. Might come in useful someday. Thanks for the head up. :)
[10:06] <purplefool> ZykoticK9, ok, that worked a little bit.  the pops and static has been lessoned and it doesn't cut out so quickly...but is still hard to hear.
[10:07] <wilhart> my windows change is very slow?
[10:07] <isolat3dsh33p> guys, any app for playback on the panel?
[10:07] <ZykoticK9> purplefool, afraid other then removing pulse that's all i got -- best of luck.  FYI i never FULLY got (certain) games sound working on Karmic
[10:08] <isolat3dsh33p> ZykoticK9: Karmic is awesome so far. Pulseaudio just reacts a bit slow. :/
[10:08] <ZykoticK9> purplefool, and by "working" i mean "working properly" without pops/static/crappy sound
[10:08] <purplefool> ZykoticK9, good to know i am not completely inept.  thx for your help!!
[10:09] <ZykoticK9> isolat3dsh33p, actually I'm not a big fan of Karmic - has some nice features but I miss 9.04 :(
[10:09] <purplefool> ZykoticK9, is strange though...with 9.04 it worked fine.  guess i should look at the differences between the two audio aspects...
[10:10] <ZykoticK9> purplefool, ya i had no problem with game audio in 9.04 as well --- the differences are kernel related (not much you can really do I'm affraid)
[10:10] <isolat3dsh33p> ZykoticK9: You mean the fast boot, no autho for mounting ntfs partitions?
[10:11] <ZykoticK9> isolat3dsh33p, i love the fast boot (NTFS doesn't apply to me personally don't use it at all)
[10:11] <isolat3dsh33p> ZykoticK9: Maybe 10.04 will be more awesome. :)
[10:12]  * ardchoille can hardly wait for 11.04
[10:12] <ZykoticK9> isolat3dsh33p, that's certainly what I'm hoping for -- i personally thing 9.10 is more-or-less a beta of 10.04...
[10:12] <nono0> My wifi is not connecting, ubuntu says I don't have wifi when logged in. However when I put my wife off and start up ubuntu log in and then turn it on ubuntu detects the wife, how can I solve that?
[10:13] <nono0> using 09.10
[10:13] <isolat3dsh33p> ZykoticK9: Yeah me too. 9.10 was released with lotsa bugs. :(
[10:13] <ZykoticK9> isolat3dsh33p, anyone who hangs out in this channel is WELL aware of that ;)
[10:13] <purplefool> ZykoticK9, well i did find a solution that worked for the games but then i had no system sound which defeats the purpose of sound in the first place...
[10:14] <isolat3dsh33p> ZykoticK9: Yeah, those busy days... LOL
[10:14] <krismanto> hi
[10:14] <isolat3dsh33p> !hi | krismanto
[10:14] <krismanto> i use ubuntu 9.10 and using ath5k driver for my wireles..if i want to make a hotspot which package should i use?
[10:15] <krismanto> wireless *.and ath5k is stable enougt or not?
[10:17] <isolat3dsh33p> krismanto: I'm using ath9k, and it works fine for me.
[10:17] <petra> Good morning to all!
[10:17] <petra> I have some problem with the OS ATI graphics cards drivers ...
[10:18] <isolat3dsh33p> petra, what's the problem?
[10:18] <krismanto> ath9k is for wireless N rite???
[10:18] <petra> Using a Lenovo R60 Thinkpad, Hardy was very well and is still running to full content on the NB.
[10:18] <petra> But by and by the distri is becoming of age.
[10:19] <isolat3dsh33p> krismanto: I'm not sure. No idea actually
[10:19] <krismanto> well i am not using any N version.i used G for my hotspot
[10:19] <krismanto> isolat3dsh33p:okay thansk :D
[10:19] <petra> And the new ATI proprietary drivers don't support the X1400 graphics card any more.
[10:19] <Katie> trying to move my screen over and xvidtune is giving "Unable to query monitor info. any ideas?
[10:19] <isolat3dsh33p> krismanto: my wireless is b/g/n if that matters. :)
[10:20] <petra> But the newer OS drivers would not support 1600x1200 resolution on an external DVI screen.
[10:20] <hjo1620> need some help regarding if windows USB drives will plug and play on ubuntu 8.04 LTS ?
[10:20] <petra> ... at least I wasn't able to get it working in a stable manner.
[10:20] <krismanto> isolat3dsh33p:yeah u are N version and it using ath9k..too bad i dont have n version on my wireless chipset :D
[10:21] <isolat3dsh33p> krismanto: Yeah too bad :(
[10:21] <pitt_goth_bull> hallo
[10:21] <marda> hi,,
[10:21] <petra> The respective resolution IS offered and may be chosen, but the DVI screen collapses frequently and depending on the load of the system (more = more often)

[10:22] <kotis> when i change my resolution to 1680x1050, i have big "empty" black space in the left side and a bit smaller black space in the right side. so the picture doesn't look right.  what can i do to make it look better? i have viewsonic va2216w, ubuntu 9.10, nvidia 7300gs. nvidia-settings think that i have crt monitor.

[10:27] <Richard_Simmons> How do I select a specific device with alsamixer? It's using a sound card I don't want to use at all by default.

[10:27] <ardchoille> salvo: Don't post that here anymore
[10:28] <sleep1999> how good is windows drivers support in ubuntu?
[10:28] <ardchoille> Thank you bazhang
[10:28] <Richard_Simmons> Ubuntu's audio controls (as of 9.10... it was there in 9.04)don't allow me to change settings I really need to in order to get decent sound quality.
[10:29] <mallochigh> I need help with a live-cd initrd, i have a squashfs and a islinux in a virtualbox but can't mount root
[10:29] <MasterOfDisaster> sleep1999: you can't use windows drivers with ubuntu (unless you're talking about ndiswrapper, but I doubt that).
[10:29] <Richard_Simmons> sleep1999, enough for wireless. the Windows driver API for linux doesn't cover anything that isn't used for wireless cards(NDIS wrapper.)
[10:29] <ZykoticK9> Richard_Simmons, do you have "multimedia system selector" in System / Preferences?  You might be able to set it there.  if not see http://paste.ubuntu.com/347512/
[10:29] <sleep1999> ok
[10:31] <reactor> guys how do I set NAT on some iface?
[10:31] <Richard_Simmons> ZykoticK9 "multimedia system selector" isn't there. and I can set Pulseaudio to use the card I want which then forces everything to use it, so I get sound.. but Pulse removed the option to change PCM volume.. which on my card, if that's too high, audio sounds terrible. Pulse tends to keep it maxed at medium to high volumes.
[10:31] <krismanto> !madwifi
[10:32]  * Richard_Simmons now sees the pastebin thing after the browser is done opening.
[10:32] <ZykoticK9> Richard_Simmons, "multimedia system selector" - seems - to be able to select Alsa output card -- see my pastebin for adding it to your menu
[10:33] <MasterOfDisaster> reactor: one uses iptables for that. static ip? look for SNAT. dynamic ip? look for MASQUERADE
[10:33] <reactor> MasterOfDisaster, static IP; btw SNAT = package?
[10:33] <MasterOfDisaster> reactor: nope, package is iptables
[10:34] <reactor> MasterOfDisaster, I have iptables
[10:34] <Richard_Simmons> ZykoticK9 the GUI still has the features removed I want, and alsamixer still uses the wrong card.
[10:34] <ZykoticK9> Richard_Simmons, sorry i don't have any other suggestions...  best of luck
[10:35]  * Richard_Simmons has been rather angered by Ubuntu 9.10 since "upgrading" to it because of audio.
[10:35] <salvo> http://www.oceanirc.net/lista/?q=Drag+Me+to+Hell#
[10:35] <ZykoticK9> Richard_Simmons, i "hear" you
[10:35] <krismanto> !hostapd
[10:35] <MasterOfDisaster> reactor: iptables -A POSTROUTING -o <interface> --to-source w.x.y.z -j SNAT
[10:36] <Richard_Simmons> I really wish all the requests for the ability to downgrade had been listened to and implemented after 9.04, though 9.04 was great for me.
[10:36] <reactor> MasterOfDisaster, ok ty ;)
[10:36] <Richard_Simmons> because then.. I wouldn't need to format.
[10:36] <MasterOfDisaster> reactor: this will not be permanent
[10:36] <reactor> MasterOfDisaster, so should I add that to startup?
[10:37] <Richard_Simmons> 9.10 has me pondering switching distros. :<
[10:37] <MasterOfDisaster> reactor: I guess you make this stick with ufw, but I'm not using it.
[10:37] <pompa_> I was wondering why "ifuse /media/iphone" gives back a "fuse: missing mountpoint" error, anyone can help?
[10:38] <reactor> MasterOfDisaster, ufw doesn't I think
[10:38] <MarderIII> pompa: fuse tries to mount the iphone under a "mountpoint" that isn't there. check your ifuse config.
[10:39] <Richard_Simmons> I -was- able to get around the "pulse audio sucks" issue with alsamixer because the card in this case didn't have a driver..or the driver was blacklisted. Funny how things getting support can be a problem.
[10:39] <kinja-sheep> pompa_: Try "sudo mkdir /media/iphone"
[10:39] <MasterOfDisaster> reactor: well you can always use a post up network interface script. man interfaces will help you with that.
[10:39] <reactor> MasterOfDisaster, ty
[10:41] <CyberCr33p> does someone has problems with VNC and bohobo-activation-server ? When I start a VNC connection my Gnome session on my computer logouts
