[00:00] <Gnea> Hi all, I'm having a problem getting my system to bootup and utilize the DVI output to the monitor.  the DVI is one of the 2 heads on this geforce FX 5600, the DVI cable itself works fine, and there is a DVI connector on the back of the monitor.  Yet, there is no signal being passed from the card to the cable.  Is there a way to troubleshoot this or can anyone help point me in the right direction?
[00:00] <nnd> Hi there, does anyone have an idea why Ubuntu 10.04's Gwibber doesn't post anything to identi.ca/status net?
[00:01] <VCoolio> Unsichtbar: run 'sudo smbtree' to see which folders you have shared, then disable that using nautilus > properties > share tab
[00:01] <ActionParsnip> tauren: could replace the UUID ni fstab with /dev/sda7   see if its nicer
[00:01] <soreau> Gnea: Does it send a signal at the bios splash when you first turn it on?
[00:01] <ActionParsnip> nnd: log a bug after checking settings
[00:01] <tauren> ActionParsnip: Ok, will try that. Also doing a manual fsck right now.
[00:01] <lisa_> Gnea, I use my second output, and I have to go to system/pref/monitors to make the switch and activate the monitor
[00:02] <Gnea> soreau: no. I've tried turning everything off, making sure the DVI cable is the only cable connected, and still nothing
[00:02] <lisa_> Is there a utility to log all wifi spots you run across and some of the details of each?
[00:02] <Purpley> soreau, Ok never mind im good, I found a tut on ubuntuforums.org for my exact model of my mouse and how to use its buttons
[00:02] <soreau> Gnea: sounds like its a hw issue then. Either with your card or monitor (or cable or adapter)
[00:02] <Purpley> soreau, But thank you very much for your help
[00:02] <Eleth> Is it possible to use unetbootin or usb-creator to create and IMAGE that can later be written to a USB stick?
[00:02] <nnd> How the fuck can it be that gwibber is so tightly integrated into 10.04 and apparently just doesn't work?
[00:02] <gothenburg> I want a new computer
[00:02] <nnd> Is there such a thing as a qa team for Ubuntu?
[00:03] <aliciapg> SocialSocial: i can't seem to find it...
[00:03] <Gnea> lisa_: I'll give that a try if I can get a signal to pass, thanks
[00:03] <IdleOne> !language | nnd
[00:03] <Purpley> lieb, I suggest googling your muse with ubuntu in the phrase
[00:03] <Gnea> soreau: that's basically what I figured on too... I tried asking in here a few weeks back, but all I got was "we're still using CRTs"
[00:03] <nnd> ubottu: You could make Gwibber family friendly.
[00:03] <rellis> Anyone know if there's a way to get postgres 8.3 for Ubuntu 10.04?
[00:03] <BiGViC> if I'm having trouble with alsamixer how can I see whats wrong?
[00:03] <nnd> Stupid bot.
[00:04] <lieb>  <Purpley> I did, I just gave up for the day, I tried the im(dont remember the rest of the name) program, but all it seems like I have to do is edit xorg
[00:04] <rellis> I can't use 8.4.
[00:04] <X_o> sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd  rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8) utility e.g. service vsftpd start since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an upstart job, you may also use the start(8) utility, e.g. start vsftp
[00:04] <Gnea> soreau: and, of course, the standard D-SUB connector works just fine
[00:04] <IdleOne> nnd: the bot is not the one talking to a bot
[00:04] <BiGViC> alsa mixer randomly disappears on reboot sometimes...?
[00:04] <SocialSocial> omg, they movede menu.1st!! anyone know where?
[00:04] <lieb>  <Purpley> imwheel it's called, I tried the -c command for the gui but it doesn't do anything
[00:04] <Gnea> but I just had an idea... I should try a DVI-to-VGA adapter and see if the signal still goes through or not
[00:04] <soreau> Gnea: but yea, try asking in #hardware since its not a problem with ubuntu
[00:04] <nnd> IdleOne: Yeah ... funny ... no
[00:05] <Gnea> soreau: had even less of a response there, thanks though
[00:05] <IdleOne> nnd: state what is not working for you and maybe someone can help
[00:05] <X_o> how i can fix that problem??
[00:05] <lieb> Purpley it's just a minor issue, I wasn't really wanting to bother you guys with it, I was just commenting on another persons question
[00:05] <ActionParsnip> SocialSocial: its not moved, gruub2 uses different config files

[00:05] <Gnea> nnd: qa team? like, questions and answers?
[00:05] <SocialSocial> thanks ActionParsnip
[00:05] <lisa_> X_o,  Have you used update-rc.d
[00:05] <nnd> It doesn't send messages to identi.ca or status.net accounts.
[00:05] <X_o> no
[00:05] <rellis> Is there a repository I need to add to install postgres 8.3 on ubuntu 10.04?
[00:06] <nnd> If you send them, just nothing will happen - only the message will vanish from the input field.
[00:06] <IdleOne> nnd: in that case, you can submit a bug at launchpad.net or be a little more specific here with what you need help with

[00:08] <Lividmime> Problem: No sound at all! Total linux-newbie installed ubuntu 10.4 on 5 yr old packard bell easynote.

[00:09] <nnd> Pici: How can I make Gwibber work with identi.ca?
[00:09] <lieb> the xorg.conf  Imean
[00:09] <Pici> nnd: don't ask me, ask the channel. (I don't use either)
[00:10] <Docteh> Royall: sounds like hardware is doing something odd
[00:10] <nnd> Hey dear channel! How can I make Gwibber, the integrated microblog client of Ubuntu 10.04, make work with identi.ca?
[00:10] <BiGViC> my sound works just fine but it's wierd because I had to reinstall it twice it randomly disappears???
[00:10] <tic^> nnd: did you log in to your accounts through gwibber? i have facebook and twitter running through gwibber as we type now.
[00:10] <Vooloo> I just updated my ubuntu, kernel etc. and now my network card is not working. I have tried to ifconfig down/up manually... what to do?!
[00:10] <soreau> lieb: In recent versions of X, its smart enough to guess what you need so it selects an open driver with options automatically
[00:11] <nnd> tic^: Well, of course i did.
[00:11] <Purpley> lieb, Hmmm same problem here.....X11 is there and when i type in locate xorg.conf it gives me /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[00:11] <soreau> lieb: If you need an xorg.conf, you will have to create one. Try Xorg -vonfigure
[00:11] <Royall> Docteh: restarting usually fixes it... but now I can't unmount either mount point as they're both "busy"
[00:11] <nnd> tic^: Twitter is also working.
[00:11] <soreau> lieb: Xorg -configure
[00:11] <Royall> despite being completely empty and dead
[00:11] <nnd> But identi.ca doesn't just do anything.
[00:11] <lieb> alright
[00:11] <Gnea> nnd: hrm, never used gwibber before, looks relatively new... trying it out now... so far, facebook is not liking me
[00:11] <res_ipsa> hmm, odd. my sound is crackling since i just rebooted
[00:12] <lieb> it says already active sor display )
[00:12] <lieb> 0
[00:12] <rellis> ActionParsnip: Dyou happen to know which ppa contains postgres 8.3?
[00:12] <res_ipsa> had an update, rebooted, now my sound is making buzzing/strange sounds.
[00:12] <res_ipsa> works fine in windows
[00:12] <nnd> Gnea: You see, a qa team would be supposed to at least check if components which are so deeply integrated as Gwibber do work at all.
[00:13] <soreau> lieb: yea, it will only work if X isnt running. The easiest way to do that is get to a vt (ctrl+alt+F1) then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[00:13] <dancallo> I'll come back later.
[00:13] <soreau> lieb: Afterward, do the same command with start instead of stop to relogin
[00:13] <ActionParsnip> rellis: the page has a search, search ALL the PPAs and you will maybe find one
[00:13] <rellis> yeah i did search for "postgres-8.3"
[00:13] <rellis> i found nothing
[00:13] <BiGViC> my sound output option is only dummy output stereo after it working fine just a second ago after reboot this happen to me twice?
[00:13] <X_o> sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd  rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8) utility e.g. service vsftpd start since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an upstart job, you may also use the start(8) utility, e.g. start vsftp
[00:13] <res_ipsa> anyone else have problems with audigy 2 card after a recent reboot?
[00:14] <soreau> X_o: That is an informational message, not an error. Are you having some related issue?
[00:14] <X_o> i can running
[00:14] <X_o> i cannt running
[00:15] <Gnea> nnd: well, the way it usually works around here is that an app, that ubuntu didn't write from scratch to begin with, is usually maintained by authors and has its own support. if any ubuntu-related mods are made to the app, then the qa team would be the ones to ask about it then, if the original maintainers are not sure what is wrong or an error message points outside of their realm.
[00:15] <gothenburg> natt
[00:15] <rellis> Anyone know which PPA might contain postgres-8.3 for Ubuntu 10.04?
[00:15] <res_ipsa> even speaker-test is making a funny buzzing sound
[00:15] <X_o> soreau: I cann't running
[00:15] <tyranos> X_o, did you try service vsftpd start
[00:16] <Gnea> nnd: so, one could say that help could be found in #gwibber, but since that channel is empty, it'd be a wild goose chase. so, let's see how this qa thing works.
[00:16] <X_o> not
[00:16] <iceroot> rellis: why not 8.4?
[00:16] <soreau> X_o: From that message, it looks like it started. Try /etc/init.d/<service> status

[00:16] <rellis> on 8.4 i mean
[00:16] <iceroot> radi: yes but you need a second drive
[00:16] <soreau> radi: It has a burning program, yes
[00:16] <nnd> Gnea: I wouldn't annoy you with gwibber annoyance if it wasn't integrated into Ubuntu.
[00:16] <lieb> I'll read up on the xord documentation for the mouse, as I said it's not a big issue right now
[00:16] <Gnea> nnd: alright, have you been able to locate gwibber on the qa page?
[00:16] <nnd> It's part of the very Me Menu.

[00:26] <tyranos> maxblade, unetbootin also it comes with ubuntu if you have it installed
[00:26] <greenjon> radi: my terminal skills aren't that great. maybe someone else can tell you that. sorry :(
[00:26] <ActionParsnip> Vooloo: you'll find you have the latest, misread the output
[00:26] <radi> :)
[00:26] <Bigshot> where can i get MAC-FDISK for ubuntu?
[00:26] <ActionParsnip> Vooloo: just boot, hold shift and select the older kernel
[00:26] <radi> ubuntu user ^^
[00:26] <Appl6> willwork4foo: How did you install it in the first place?  PXE?
[00:26] <Bigshot> i tried fdisk
[00:26] <Bigshot> doesn't detect the subpartitions
[00:27] <Vooloo> ActionParsnip: so weird the old works... sigh
[00:27] <tyranos> radi, usb-creator
[00:27] <Bigshot> is there a boot manager that can be copied to MBR to load any bootable partition from external hdd?
[00:27] <willwork4foo> Appl6: I had to install it by putting the initrd.gz and linux files into /boot and making a new entry in grub.conf - from Linpus
[00:27] <radi> tyranos, thanks
[00:27] <ActionParsnip> Vooloo: well if the kernel works then its fine
[00:27] <willwork4foo> it booted, and worked fine
[00:27] <radi> but, command not found :P
[00:27] <willwork4foo> then I installed the NVIDIA drivers
[00:27] <willwork4foo> and now it's SCREWED.
[00:28] <tyranos> radi what ubuntu version do you have ?
[00:28] <willwork4foo> It's half-past midnight and I've been doing this now for FIVE HOURS
[00:28] <Bigshot> is there a boot manager that can be copied to MBR to load any bootable partition from external hdd?
[00:28] <ActionParsnip> Vooloo: later doesnt always mean its any betetr, you can change /etc/default/grub  so the default is 2 rather than 0 so the older kernel boots by default
[00:28] <rellis> youshould probably stop working and go get drunk
[00:28] <Vooloo> ActionParsnip: so is this a kernel or driver issue? when I run update manager now everything seems updated.. so I am running old kernel but newer software?
[00:28] <radi> tyranos, anyway, i will use unetbootin
[00:28] <Vooloo> ActionParsnip: ok
[00:28] <Appl6> willwork4foo: What you just described required an OS to be installed in the first place.
[00:28] <BiGViC> When I type Alsamixer in terminal it shows cannot open mixer: no such file or directory exsist when it did just a 10 minutes ago before I restarted my machine?
[00:29] <willwork4foo> Appl6: there was one. Linpus.
[00:29] <willwork4foo> and a worse implementation of Linux, I have NEVER seen.
[00:29] <ActionParsnip> Vooloo: the kernel has modules for the hardware, the default one doesn't work and there is a bug logged, you could add to say "yes I get this too" etc
[00:29] <soreau> BiGViC: case sensitive
[00:29] <Bigshot> oh come on
[00:29] <Bigshot> anyone?
[00:29] <willwork4foo> OK - it's hanging at boot now, at the "Checking Battery State" stage
[00:29] <Bigshot> is there a boot manager that can be copied to MBR to load any bootable partition from external hdd? ActionParsnip ?
[00:29] <rellis> ActionParsnip: Ended up finding one that appears to be for luci, installed easy enough.. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/postgresql-8.3/8.3.9-1/+build/1397005
[00:29] <ActionParsnip> Bigshot: i believe lilo works like that
[00:29] <Bigshot> how can i install lilo?
[00:30] <ActionParsnip> !lilo | Bigshot
[00:30] <BiGViC> soreau: no in terminal I type alsamixer
[00:30] <soreau> BiGViC: Then install alsa-utils
[00:30] <Appl6> willwork4foo: Can it PXE boot?
[00:30] <ActionParsnip> Bigshot: there are guides all over for lilo installs, grub is more flexible and can boot any OS
[00:30] <Vooloo> ActionParsnip: I have like 5 rows when I boot up, how do I know the id number for each?
[00:30] <BiGViC> soreau: this has happen 2 times before where I had to reinstall alsamixer I don't want to keep doing that every random reboot :(
[00:31] <willwork4foo> Appl6: it can, but I only have a mac and I've been struggling to get it to PXE boot for two hours
[00:31] <Bigshot> ActionParsnip, the thing is i have already installed OS'es but they can't boot
[00:31] <BiGViC> and when I use the command aplay -l it saids no sound cards found
[00:31] <Firefishe> How do I install a 32-bit .deb file using the command line on a 64-bit system?  I have the 32 bit libraries, so I'm pretty sure what I have will work.
[00:31] <tyranos> Vooloo, the first entry is 0
[00:31] <Bigshot> so i need a bootloader
[00:31] <soreau> BiGViC: does /usr/bin/alsamizer exist?
[00:31] <eboyjr> Hello.. quick question. I copied the entire contents of the hard drive to a file and I want to mount it to access the contents. It was a harddrive of a Win3.1 computer. I think the harddrive was partitioned though.. How can I mount one of the partitions?
[00:31] <eboyjr> ..with a loopback I think
[00:31] <tyranos> Vooloo, and the other operating system entry which acts as a separator also counts as an entry
[00:31] <Daekdroom> !info tasksel
[00:32] <tertl3> win 3.1?
[00:32] <willwork4foo> OK, this is now screwed. Somehow, installing the Nvidia Driver has killed my install and I can't get it back.
[00:32] <willwork4foo> I can't boot into ANYTHING.
[00:32] <halp_pls> what. a. pain.
[00:32] <eboyjr> tertl3: Windows 3.1 the one before Windows 95
[00:32] <X_o> cuando trato de parar ese programa
[00:32] <Gnea> !gwibber
[00:32] <Vooloo> tyranos: ok I see. is it normal to have text grub as default? I havent gotten this on my other pc
[00:32] <JusticeZero> When I boot up, on the startup screen before logging in I get two lines of error message on top of ewach other so I can't read them. It does show that I can skip mount with a button or another button to manual something, and skipping mounting seems to work, but i'd like to not have things like that. Known issue?
[00:32] <soreau> willwork4foo: at what point does the boot fail?
[00:32] <ActionParsnip> Vooloo: its in number order from top to bottom from 0 to n
[00:32] <willwork4foo> it gets as far as "Checking Battery State"
[00:32] <BiGViC> soreau: yes it does
[00:32] <willwork4foo> then it freezes.
[00:32] <tyranos> Vooloo, i think so
[00:32]  * Gnea has determined that the 'gwibber' program is full of fail
[00:33] <soreau> BiGViC: IF you do echo $PATH, does it show /usr/bin?
[00:33] <Appl6> willwork4foo: Stop spamming the channel with repetitions and using Enter for punctuation.

[00:33] <willwork4foo> I can get to the grub menu, and edit my boot parameters.... but I can't work out how to get the thing up to a usable level
[00:33] <FloodBot4> UnoDos: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:33] <harkirat_> hey
[00:33] <tyranos> unodos it is / not \

[00:34] <UnoDos> \exit
[00:34] <Gnea> UnoDos: no, /exit
[00:34] <ActionParsnip> Bigshot: theres a package which I forget the name of which can detect OSes. Might contain the word 'detect' but it may help
[00:34] <ActionParsnip> !grub2 | Bigshot
[00:34] <BiGViC> soreau: it shows /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
[00:34] <Gnea> !ubuntu | harkirat_
[00:34] <soreau> BiGViC: what about this command?:  which alsamixer
[00:34] <willwork4foo> can anyone help me out here - this is really starting to drive me mad
[00:34] <willwork4foo> :(
[00:35] <harkirat_> guys how do I connect to rsportalirc.no-ip.org
[00:35] <BiGViC> soreau: it shows /usr/bin/alsamixer
[00:35] <Coty> Anyone know of a way of enabling xinerama with dual monitors with an ATI graphics card.
[00:35] <soreau> willwork4foo: ok so you get to the boot screen and go to boot ubuntu. What happens after that?
[00:35] <Gnea> willwork4foo: a "usable level" meaning..?
[00:35] <harkirat_> it says unknown server
[00:35] <soreau> ! who | willwork4foo
[00:35] <ActionParsnip> harkirat_: what does it provide, "connect" is so ambiguous it nearly means nothing at all
[00:35] <soreau> BiGViC: Then running alsamixer should work
[00:35] <Bigshot> ActionParsnip, can it detect mac os x?
[00:35] <willwork4foo> soreau: it freezes during the boot cycle, at "Checking Battery State"
[00:36] <willwork4foo> it's an Acer Aspire Revo (Atom CPU)
[00:36] <BiGViC> soreau: cannot open mixer: No such file or directory
[00:36] <ActionParsnip> Bigshot: sure
[00:36] <soreau> willwork4foo: Have you tried booting into recovery mode and removing the nvidia-common package?
[00:36] <BiGViC> soreau: when I type exactly alsamixer as I did before
[00:36] <willwork4foo> Gnea: at the risk of sounding rude... a level that I can USE THE SYSTEM
[00:36] <willwork4foo> :)
[00:36] <Coty> Sorry, let me rephrase that does anyone know of a way of having compiz and xinerama.
[00:36] <willwork4foo> soreau: it won't boot into recovery mode either
[00:36] <BiGViC> soreau: it happens when I reboot sometimes not all the time is confusing and annoying
[00:36] <ActionParsnip> Bigshot: grub2 is used on the ppc iso as well as the i386 which can be installed on intel based macd
[00:36] <soreau> willwork4foo: what about a live cd?
[00:37] <willwork4foo> soreau: this is an Atom-CPU system with no optical drive.
[00:37] <Gnea> willwork4foo: lol, not rude, but a bit 'generic' :) have you tried removing the battery?
[00:37] <willwork4foo> Gnea: it's not got a battery.
[00:37] <soreau> willwork4foo: How did you install ubuntu then?
[00:37] <BiGViC> soreau: when I do aplay -l it shows aplay: device_list:223: no soundcards found...
[00:37] <Gnea> willwork4foo: is it a netbook?
[00:37] <willwork4foo> soreau: It came with Linpus Linux. I copied the linux and initrd.gz files to /boot and updated grub.conf
[00:37] <soreau> BiGViC: I guess you have audio driver issues then
[00:37] <willwork4foo> Gnea: no, a net-top
[00:37] <Firefishe> If, after I've done a `sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture filename.deb' I want to remove it, what is the correct procedure?  This is a 32 bit install on a 64 bit machine.
[00:38] <willwork4foo> mini desktop
[00:38] <soreau> ! audio | Bigshot
[00:38] <soreau> ! audio | BiGViC
[00:38] <Aliv3> hello
[00:38] <Gnea> willwork4foo: okay - did the the problem start after you copied the kernel and initrd over?
[00:38] <jimisrvrox> hey guys im in need of some help with my wireless linux box. I can get an access point but it will not connect
[00:38] <ActionParsnip> harkirat_: is it an FTP server? an email serve? a web server???
[00:39] <willwork4foo> Gnea: No. It booted fine, and worked fine, until I agreed to install the NVIDIA proprietary drivers. Since then, it's refused to boot.
[00:39] <Vooloo> ActionParsnip: weird, it works now. not sure if its stable tho
[00:39] <Aliv3> when i installed the product to virtualbox(support in #vbox) it said "Geom error,FATAL: INT18: BOOT FAILURE"
[00:39] <BiGViC> soreau: when I got to sound preferences my device is not listed at all it only shows dummy outpu stereo
[00:39] <willwork4foo> it won't even boot into recovery mode.
[00:39] <Aliv3> i wasnt sure if it was virtual box or ubuntu
[00:39] <willwork4foo> I have a USB stick here, but I can't seem to get a working bootable image onto it for Ubuntu
[00:39] <p1l0t> How do I get java for firefox through the repository?
[00:39] <p1l0t> !java
[00:39] <ActionParsnip> Firefishe: sudo dpkg -r -P filename
[00:39] <Gnea> willwork4foo: have you tried without the 'quiet splash' options?
[00:39] <Firefishe> ActionParsnip: Thanks.
[00:39] <ActionParsnip> Vooloo: test for a while, this os why Ubuntu LEAVE the old kernels on
[00:40] <BiGViC> soreau: also I can't restart or shutdown ubuntu regularly...? it takes me back to login screen like if something is locked or missing?
[00:40] <willwork4foo> Gnea: yes, that's where it tells me it's got as far as "Checking Battery State" (there isn't a battery, this is a desktop) and it freezes.
[00:40] <willwork4foo> Gnea: this was working just fine before I installed this ^&&$^%%$ driver.
[00:40] <soreau> BiGViC: thats strange man, not sure what is going on with your system
[00:40] <Gnea> willwork4foo: all desktops have a battery in them to keep the state of the cmos in check. otherwise, the time/date would never be current.
[00:41] <willwork4foo> Gnea: OK fair enough.... regardless, I don't think this is a hardware issue.
[00:41] <Gnea> willwork4foo: what if you try "init=/bin/bash" instead of "single"?
[00:41] <Aliv3> AHH WTF
[00:41] <Aliv3> UBUNTU WONT BOOT
[00:41] <tyranos> bigvic, is your system uptodate ?
[00:41] <BiGViC> yes
[00:41] <BiGViC> fresh install too
[00:42] <willwork4foo> Aliv3: you and me both....
[00:42] <Aliv3> i just installed it
[00:42] <soreau> willwork4foo: Try booting with these kernel options:  nvidia.blacklist=yes nouveau.blacklist=yes
[00:42] <Aliv3> and it told me to reboot
[00:42] <Firefishe> ActionParsnip: Apparently, -r and -P cannot be used simultaneously.  -P (--purge) did the trick by itself, though.  Thanks for the input. :-)
[00:42] <Aliv3> and it gives me a fail
[00:42] <Gnea> willwork4foo: soreau has a good method
[00:42] <soreau> Aliv3: What did you do that told you to reboot and when in the boot process does it fail?
[00:43] <willwork4foo> trying that now
[00:43] <tyranos> i had similar problem where sometimes when i boot my soundcard wasnt detected , i couldnt mount my other partition and could not shutdown , but when i reboot i t works and sometimes not but after the latest updates from lucid it went away
[00:43] <Aliv3> when i first got ubuntu it said try or install
[00:43] <Aliv3> i tried it for a while
[00:43] <Aliv3> rebooted
[00:43] <Aliv3> went to install and i installed and it said reboot
[00:43] <mek8630> I am setting up a partition to install Ubuntu and I need to know what "Mount point" is and what I should put in it?
[00:43] <Aliv3> now it doesnt boot
[00:43] <BiGViC> I can fix the alsa issue doing this command sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils then sudo apt-get install linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils which is just reinstalling alsa but I dont' want to do that everytime it randomly disappears :(
[00:44] <willwork4foo> YES! II have a # prompt
[00:44] <BiGViC> could it be because I have 2 sound cards?
[00:44] <soreau> ;)
[00:44] <willwork4foo> thanks soreau!!!!
[00:44] <tyranos> mek8630, mount point should be / is equivalent to the c:\ in windows
[00:44] <willwork4foo> that worked - now I need to remove the offending article and fix this system
[00:44] <willwork4foo> hmm
[00:44] <BiGViC> well one is a tv tuner but alsa lists it as a sound card anyways
[00:44] <Appl6> mek8630: http://www.easy-ubuntu-linux.com/ubuntu-installation-606-12.html
[00:44] <Aliv3> so
[00:44] <soreau> willwork4foo: Now remove the nvidia driver package (nvidia-common)
[00:44] <Aliv3> i can try it but not install
[00:45] <mek8630> tyranos: ok so I just need to put the "/" and not one of the others that it lets me choose from?
[00:45] <willwork4foo> apt-get uninstall nvidia-common ?
[00:45] <HoldenC> can anyone tell me if the "Radeon HD 4200" IGP works out of the box in ubuntu?
[00:45] <soreau> willwork4foo: Or you can try blacklisting only nouveau but..
[00:45] <Firefishe> I'm using an Asus G50V laptop with 10.04.  My headphone jack volume from flash in Firefox 3.6 is really low compared to previous installs.  Why might this be?  All my volume levels are up all the way, and amarok is as loud as can be.  Kubuntu desktop.
[00:45] <Appl6> HoldenC: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[00:46] <Lividmime> Problem: No sound at all! Total linux-newbie installed ubuntu 10.4 on 5 yr old packard bell easynote. Checked http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 Soundcard is detected when trying aplay -l and lspci -v, all channels unmuted on alsamixer (I think, don't quite understand it) tried various other forums for solution; threads are either too technical (i.e. I don't get it) or not applicable. Any suggestions?
[00:46] <soreau> willwork4foo: I will leave it for you to tinker with for now :)  (its apt-get remove <package> btw)
[00:46] <tyranos> well / ist the root of the filesystem and the system files goes there
[00:46] <judgen> how do i disable the screen from ging black after a while using xfce
[00:46] <Firefishe> Also unusual, is that I can plug in my headphone in the jack, but it won't take over from the speakers unless I unplug it and plug it back in again.  This is proving rather annoying. ;)
[00:46] <mek8630> tyranos: would would happen if I put one of the others like "/boot" or "/home" ?
[00:46] <HoldenC> Appl6: thanks, I was hoping to get an answer from someone who actually have that video card :)

[00:47] <tyranos> mek8630, / is the most important mount point
[00:47] <soreau> jimisrvrox: What encryption type is it?
[00:47] <tyranos> mek8630, if you choose something else you d still need a partiotion for /
[00:48] <jimisrvrox> soreau: its open because of drivers and crap
[00:48] <mek8630> tyranos: thank you I appreciate your help very much. so when creating a partition do I want "logical" or "primary"?
[00:48] <soreau> jimisrvrox: I guess your drivers and crap arent working right if it cant connect then ;)
[00:48] <Appl6> HoldenC: It irks people when you not only don't search for the answer to your problem, but you even refuse to look at links that are provided to you.
[00:48] <judgen> Appl6,  if i uninstall xsaver and all other sceensavers.. should that not work?
[00:49] <jimisrvrox> soreau: heh well it was working as of 2 days ago and I figure the driver is ok if I can get an access point with it
[00:49] <Costanza> hi.. maybe someone can answer my why when i sometiems boot into ubuntu my network wont start.. and i have to restart for it to work.. sometiems even restart several times for it to work. also sometimes i cant adjust sound it says "waiting for sound system to respond" and i have to restart for it to work
[00:49] <Appl6> judgen: Maybe, but I'd suggest just disabling the screensaver.  It may turn out that something else depends on xsaver, and it breaks because you uninstalled it.
[00:49] <soreau> jimisrvrox: What driver is it using ?
[00:49] <jimisrvrox> soreau: Ive tried unplugging and replugging the router, rebooting the machine, taking the card out and putting it back in

[00:50] <Aliv3> Ubuntu wont let me type

[00:51] <mek8630> soreau: well its kind of a long story but I am wanting to install Ubuntu by creating a partition because I have Win 2000 on the other half
[00:51] <airdem> hello, i am looking for a "supported netbooks list" (ubuntu-10.04-netbook)
[00:51] <judgen> Appl6,  i only ask here because #xubuntu has been dead for hours. I dont know how to turn all the power settings off. I dont need them as my elec is pretty much free where i live.
[00:52] <remanifest> airdem: What netbook do you have?
[00:52] <darkangel> cap88 what you doin
[00:52] <airdem> remanifest, s10e
[00:52] <soreau> mek8630: Typically, (for msdos partition type) you do three primary partitions then make an extended partition if you need more than four partitions, then under the extended are the logic partitions IIRC
[00:52] <mek8630> soreau: but the reason I just didn't do it the easy way is because I have a corrupted version of Ubuntu on the partition I am wanting to format and copy over it
[00:52] <jimisrvrox> im running it through network manager and so the two globes light up and then when I run iwconfig it will show the access point but then the connection drops out

[00:53] <Cap88> !darkangel ya... but can re-open it.
[00:53] <soreau> Aliv3: Can you move the mouse?
[00:53] <Lividmime> Problem: No sound at all! Total linux-newbie installed ubuntu 10.4 on 5 yr old packard bell easynote. Checked http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 Soundcard is detected when trying aplay -l and lspci -v, all channels unmuted on alsamixer (I think, don't quite understand it) tried various other forums for solution; threads are either too technical (i.e. I don't get it) or not applicable. Any suggestions?

[00:53] <remanifest> airdem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlDKoU-VeRw
[00:54] <airdem> remanifest, why is there no list like on other distros sites? :P
[00:55] <bastidrazor> 10.04 using usb-creator-gtk .. i do not get the option to use the extra space for files unless i start usb-creator-gtk with gksudo
[00:55] <remanifest> airdem: there is - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Netbooks
[00:55] <Aliv3> Ok, I Have a fresh install of UBUNTU 10.04 but it takes me to the login screen everything looks fine, but when i try to type it doesnt work. please help
[00:55] <airdem> remanifest, "ubuntu-10.04-netbook-i386"
[00:56] <airdem> remanifest, whops, i meant "This page lists some of the netbooks that have been tested with Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.04"
[00:56] <soreau> Aliv3: Can you move the mouse?
[00:56] <mek8630> soreau: so what is the difference between a logical and primary partition if you have time to tell me real quick
[00:56] <jimisrvrox> Aliv3: umm..ok did you try unplugging the keyboard and plugging it back in?
[00:56] <Aliv3> yes, mouse is fine
[00:56] <p1l0t> In lucid netbook how do you see windows unmaximized? When I right click and choose unmaximize they disappear
[00:56] <jimisrvrox> assuming you have a desktop system
[00:56] <Appl6> judgen: I don't know about disabling all power management, but you can try "xset s off" for the screensaver.
[00:56] <soreau> mek8630: google and/or wikipedia could probably explain it a lot better
[00:56] <remanifest> airdem: You'll get better performance on Lubuntu or Enlightenment DR17 than you will with Ubuntu - but support has only increased since 9.04
[00:57] <Aliv3> yes ive tried repluging but im running ubuntu on VMWare Workstation 7.
[00:57] <mek8630> soreau: ok thank you
[00:57] <airdem> remanifest, okay, thank you very much
[00:57] <p1l0t> quit
[00:57] <remanifest> airdem: No prob
[00:57] <Aliv3> i assume its ubuntu because i can run other operating systems on my workstation
[00:58] <jimisrvrox> oh VMWare
[00:58] <soreau> Aliv3: The only thing I can think of is to toggle allowemptyinput option via xorg.conf
[00:58] <jimisrvrox> well I would think so if you can run and type on other OS's
[00:58] <Aliv3> how?
[00:59] <hhhhddddhhhdd> hola
[00:59] <Octo_> hello
[00:59] <hhhhddddhhhdd> what u doing
[00:59] <soreau> hhhhddddhhhdd: This is a support channel, not social or chat channel
[00:59] <Octo_> trying to install 10.04 withot much luck=[[[
[00:59] <Aliv3> do  you want me to ask that question in #Vmware?
[01:00] <remanifest> I'm wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to use the easy_e17 script to install the bling module (& others)?
[01:00] <hhhhddddhhhdd> how to use metaexploit
[01:00] <radi> soreau, what if i run the live cd from usb
[01:00] <radi> will i be able to burn ?
[01:00] <soreau> Aliv3: It makes it easier if you put the name of the person you are talking to in your message so they get highlighted
[01:00] <soreau> radi: I already went over this
[01:01] <radi> can you repeat please :)
[01:01] <hhhhddddhhhdd> who u talking too?
 radi: The options would be boot from usb to keep the burner open or have two cdrom drives, one to boot and one to burn
[01:01] <jimisrvrox> soreau: hey I think its using the b43 driver
[01:01] <radi> oh i didnt get that
[01:01] <soreau> jimisrvrox: oh that sucks
[01:01] <radi> sorry
[01:01] <radi> soreau, and what is the application to burn cds ?
[01:01] <soreau> radi: wodim
[01:01] <jimisrvrox> yeah and what really sucks is that I cant find my damn flash drive to put a new driver on the box if I have to
[01:01] <civixier> Hmm... I'm confused. According to sound settings, I dont have any system sounds, but still I hear drums when I get an alert and close windows and stuff. Why?
[01:02] <Aliv3> civixier
[01:02] <Aliv3> did you try turning the volume up
[01:02] <Aliv3> or unmuting it?
[01:02] <radi> soreau, anything more gui orientated ?
[01:02] <soreau> radi: sure
[01:03] <bastidrazor> radi: brasero, k3b
[01:03] <Aliv3> @radi if its that bad ill make u a gui
[01:03] <hhhhddddhhhdd> how can i send a file remotely under the same network?
[01:03] <Aliv3> jk'
[01:03] <soreau> jimisrvrox: Ok, I have a couple ideas. First, what makes you say it drops the connection after it connects?
[01:03] <civixier> Aliv3 How do you mean?
[01:03] <Aliv3> nothing
[01:03] <soreau> hhhhddddhhhdd: scp
[01:03] <Octo_> When installing 10.04, I get the [errno 5] i/o error. I've read the official response, to restart and choose "Run without installing". I've tried the "take out a stick of RAM" method as well... Any other possibilities?
[01:03] <radi> blah, anyway, i started partitioning to install ubuntu
[01:03] <monokrome> Hey. Does anyone here know why "clicking Add" after authorizing Gwibber to access Facebook doesn't work?
[01:03] <Aliv3> @soreau so why wont typing work
[01:03] <no-name> how is ubuntus 64 bit version?
[01:03] <radi> so, will download the damn iso later and try k3b or brasero
[01:04] <jimisrvrox> well ok..in network manager the two globes will light up and stay lit but will never turn to bars
[01:04] <radi> live cd is working well, except the 2d acceleration
[01:04] <soreau> Aliv3: I have no idea. I would try toggling allowemptyinput option but usually your mouse wont work either if this is the problem
[01:04] <bastidrazor> radi: unless you have another cd/dvd drive attached you can not use the same drive the liveCD is using to burn an iso
[01:04] <hhhhddddhhhdd> what is the discussion about?
[01:04] <soreau> jimisrvrox: and then it asks for password again?
[01:04] <radi> bastidrazor, im using usb for the live ubuntu
[01:05] <radi> so, burner is free
[01:05] <jimisrvrox> yeah soreau the driver is b43-pci-bridge
[01:05] <bastidrazor> radi: then you're in good shape.
[01:05] <radi> bastidrazor, well, i cant cancel the partitioning process now :P
[01:05] <jimisrvrox> soreau: no it doesnt ask for a password...it goes to the next network showing in network manager because i have like 4 or 5 networks detected around my neighborhood
[01:05] <soreau> jimisrvrox: Do you have other machines on the network and/or connection sharing going on?
[01:05] <greenjon> no-name: i use the wubi version and it's fine *shrug*
[01:06] <upgrdman> what file do i put my script in if i want to run during bootup
[01:06] <jimisrvrox> I have other machines on the network but only this one has issues
[01:06] <radi> wubi is not good, installs too many rubish you dont need
[01:06] <jimisrvrox> module=ssb
[01:06] <no-name> greenjon: any compatability issues?
[01:06] <Aliv3> @sor: so ubuntu is screwed?
[01:06] <jimisrvrox> and like I said it was working fine as of two days ago
[01:06] <jimisrvrox> with no changes since ten
[01:06] <jimisrvrox> then*
[01:07] <greenjon> no-name: not a single one so far :)
[01:07] <matcouto> Is it safe to resize the ubuntu's partition using gparted? Im running out of space...
[01:07] <djzn> hey guys, after gnome-panel last update... something strange is happening, the gnome panel takes something like 10 seconds to start, after the desktop is loaded, any info on this?
[01:07] <radi> btw im getting pretty low 3d acceleration with virtualbox and windows on my desktop ubuntu :/
[01:07] <soreau> Aliv3: probably has something to do with it running in a vm
[01:07] <greenjon> no-name: if i could get my games to work in it, i'd totally wipe xp from the hdd
[01:08] <radi> games run ok on almost all distros
[01:08] <radi> ( with nvidia cards ) :P
[01:09] <greezmunkey>  /quit
[01:09] <ne7work> !flash
[01:09] <greenjon> radi: i do have an nvidia card. just haven't taken the time to try installing any games on 10.04 because i don't have the space right now
[01:09] <radi> well, on ubuntu is easy to run games
[01:09] <radi> im having troubles with my gentoo tho
[01:09] <radi> cause i have an ati card
[01:10] <radi> wine is working ok
[01:10] <radi> still cant make vbox to work that good but ..
[01:10] <greenjon> radi: ya, i've heard it's tough with ati. good luck on that :P
[01:10] <radi> i play world of warcraft on ubuntu and wine
[01:10] <AndChat|> Is there is diskette image I could use to try and force boot a cd?  My server doesn't even check my cd rom, even after I tried all of the bios settings.
[01:11] <radi> yesterday i tried counter strike 1.6 with virtualbox and windows xp
[01:11] <radi> works but .... 20fps
[01:11] <radi> i wonder if wine will do better
[01:11] <greenjon> radi: never hurts to try
[01:12] <kanzie> Im running ubuntu 8 on a server and now Im thinking of doing dist-upgrade, how big is the risk of it going awry?
[01:12] <radi> i have a slow machine tho :p
[01:12] <radi> kanzie, you should use slack or gentoo for servers
[01:12] <Aliv3> WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
[01:12] <AndChat|> This is driving me nuts.  When I select my cd rom in boot options the drive doesn't even blink and gives me an error message
[01:12] <kanzie> radi: that's not wathat I asked
[01:12] <bastidrazor> kanzie: any upgrade has risks.. backup any thing important
[01:12] <Aliv3> i enter the password and it sends me to the login page
[01:13] <greenjon> Aliv3: you sure the password is correct?
[01:13] <Aliv3> yes
[01:13] <Aliv3> enless im a dumb ass and didnt spell password correct
[01:13] <greenjon> Aliv3: i saw the same thing happen to someone a few hours ago and they thought they were putting in the same password, but had confused it with a different one
[01:13] <j800r> guys, i have a question. I have Kubuntu installed on a separate partition on my hard drive. how can i remove the kubuntu partition and extend the Ubuntu one to fill the whole drive without reinstalling
[01:13] <bastidrazor> Aliv3: look in ~/.xsession-errors for possible reasons why gdm crashed
[01:13] <radi> kanzie, im just giving advice from my experience
[01:13] <radi> ubuntu is not secure enough
[01:13] <bastidrazor> j800r: gparted
[01:14] <Aliv3> whoops
[01:14] <Aliv3> i did spell password wrong
[01:14] <Aliv3> ima dumb ass
[01:14] <greenjon> Aliv3: just meaning to say, don't rule out all possibilities. we as humans often overlook small things
[01:14] <greenjon> Aliv3: hehe it's all right :)
[01:14] <paissad> any idea about a tool for administrating mpd via a web navigator ?
[01:14] <bsmith093> how do i get a pdf printer in lucid
[01:14] <paissad> cups-pdf ?
[01:14] <bsmith093> that was quick
[01:14] <bsmith093> thanks
[01:14] <sebsebseb> Aliv3: a little late reply, but watch the language :)
[01:14] <paissad> bsmith093, :)
[01:15] <j800r> bastidrazor, apparently gparted doesn't come installed with lucid and when i do an apt-get install it says it needs to install a ton of kde files (on my ubuntu partition) :\
[01:15] <Aliv3> ok sory
[01:15] <radi> also gentoo and slack are far more stable for servers without X
[01:15] <j800r> if gparted is on the live CD however, I guess i'll do it from there
[01:15] <bsmith093> now can that pdf printer accept any data an app can print
[01:17] <bastidrazor> j800r: gparted is a Gnome application, and try System > Administration > Disk Utility
[01:19] <bsmith093> can i batch print to a pdf printer cups-pdf
[01:19] <kanzie> why is ubuntu sporting 0.9.5 of mercurial
[01:19] <kanzie> for apt-get
[01:19] <kanzie> should I install from tar-ball?
[01:19] <Uresu> Is anyone else watching the world cup opening ceremony?
[01:20] <bsmith093> i have 80+ files to print (cbz, cbr) and it would be nice not to have to open each one seperately
[01:20] <Undeon> There's an aplication to past an .conf to web?
[01:20] <Uresu> I swear the singer just sang "The spirit of \Ubuntu"
[01:20] <jimisrvrox> soreau: so any ideas as to what might have cratered it? like I said I can get as far as getting an access point for it but it will not fully connect
[01:20] <bsmith093> Undeon, yes pastebin-it
[01:20] <Undeon> thanks bsmith093 =)
[01:21] <hmuller> if alsa driver, libraries, and utilities versions do not match could that be why sound is not working?
[01:21] <bsmith093> can i batch pirnt to cups-pdf? and can evince print cbr and cbz files
[01:21] <soreau> jimisrvrox: I have had random issues like this in the past with ubuntus nm-applet and networkmanager programs.. if you want to kill those and try through the terminal we can
[01:21] <jimisrvrox> yeah that would be good
[01:22] <jimisrvrox> I as well have had probs with nm in the past as well
[01:22] <Undeon> bsmith093: what's the command to install it? apt-get intall ...... ?
[01:22] <soreau> jimisrvrox: sudo killall nm-applet NetworkManager && iwconfig <iface, like wlan0 or bcm0> essid <your essid here> && dhclient <iface>
[01:22] <Uresu> Noone
[01:22] <bsmith093> apt-get install pastebinit
[01:22] <bsmith093> or pastebin-it
[01:23] <jimisrvrox> unfortunately Windoze 7 has spoiled me on the laptop but I have Ubuntu boxes all around and im fixing to see about working on another one so im not far gone from linux :)
[01:23] <Uresu> wow, white boys not giving a fuck about Africa, what a surprise.
[01:23] <koshie> Hi
[01:23] <koshie> Hi, I want to join #ubuntu-release-party but I need to be invited... Why ?
[01:23] <bastidrazor> Uresu: is that really neccesary?
[01:23] <soreau> jimisrvrox: If you have a complicated setup with multiple machines on the network, there could be a conflict with the ip addresses
[01:23] <tsimpson> koshie: that channel is closed
[01:24] <greenjon> ! language | Uresu
[01:24] <monokrome> Is there an app akin to Wine for OSX apps?
[01:24] <koshie> Closed ? It's empty tsimpson ?
[01:24] <Jordan_U> monokrome: No.
[01:24]  * monokrome hoped that No would be a yes :'(
[01:25] <bastidrazor> koshie: maybe you're looking for #ubuntu+1 ?
[01:25] <Jordan_U> monokrome: What application are you trying to run?
[01:25] <tsimpson> koshie: it's only used while a new release happens, other times it's locked and closed
[01:25] <monokrome> Jordan_U: Steam
[01:25] <koshie> tsimpson, And to discuss with the organizers ?
[01:25] <Chuck27>  just for Beta's?
[01:25] <koshie> bastidrazor, I will see
[01:25] <Jordan_U> monokrome: Steam is being officially ported to linux, and you can run the windows client in wine.
[01:26] <tsimpson> koshie: do you know what #ubuntu-release-party is?
[01:27] <Jordan_U> koshie: #ubuntu-release-party is basically a place for people to go during release time so that #ubuntu (which is a support channel) doesn't get filled up with people asking if the next version has been released yet.
[01:27] <monokrome> Jordan_U: This is pretty lame, but there's a TF2 item that I want and only mac users can have it.
[01:27] <monokrome> If you log in and play for a minute on a mac, you get the item.
[01:28] <kanzie> does anyone know what I have to do to be able to do apt-get install mercurial and get a later version than 0.9.5 which is 3 years old
[01:29] <hmuller> Anyone have the inspiron mini (1012)?
[01:29] <tyranos> kanzie, look for a ppa in launchpad
[01:29] <remanifest> kanzie: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto
[01:30] <jimisrvrox> soreau: damn...this sucks! running it as admin and its telling me permission denied!
[01:30] <remanifest> jimisrvrox: What are you trying to do?
[01:30] <ks3> kanzie, are you just speaking of the source control package mercurial? I'm showing version 1.4.3 in the repositories.
[01:30] <Jordan_U> kanzie: https://launchpad.net/~mercurial-ppa/+archive/stable-snapshots
[01:30] <kanzie> Im runnign ubuntu 8, could that be the reason?
[01:31] <dumb_dumb> guys is ubuntu 10.4 server edition can support interl processor or just amd?
[01:31] <soreau> kanzie: get a later version of ubuntu? In 10.04, default repo mercurial version is1.4.3
[01:31] <remanifest> dumb_dumb: It support intel too
[01:31] <jimisrvrox> iwconfig wlan1 essid ..... && dhclient wlan1
[01:31] <soreau> kanzie: Yes, that *is* the reason
[01:31] <remanifest> supports
[01:31] <soreau> jimisrvrox: You have to use sudo for each command
[01:31] <upgrdman> do the contents of /etc/rc.local get run during startup? I put a line in there and it does not seem to do it
[01:31] <dumb_dumb> but i can`t find the link to donload intel processor 64 but
[01:32] <soreau> jimisrvrox: && executes the next command if the previous one succeeded
[01:32] <bsmith093> how do i convert a crapload (80+) of files in cbr and cbz format all to pdf? i have cups-pdf, but evince apparently won't print these files
[01:32] <jimisrvrox> telling me cant create /var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient.leases permission denied SIOCSIFADDR: Permission denied SIOCSIFFLAGS: Permission denied
[01:32] <jimisrvrox> yes Im sorry I did it with sudo
[01:32] <dumb_dumb> the file i found is using amd name
[01:32] <dumb_dumb> is just the same for the 64 bit server edition?
[01:33] <olrrai> hi, do u know why netcat has not -exec option?
[01:33] <soreau> jimisrvrox: Right but you have to type sudo multiple times like this:  sudo cmd1 && sudo cmd2
[01:33] <jimisrvrox> ooooo
[01:33] <Aliv3> Thanks!!! I Have Ubuntu operational
[01:33] <Aliv3> thanks guys
[01:33] <soreau> Aliv3: What fixed it?
[01:33] <jimisrvrox> ok
[01:34] <jimisrvrox> the dhcp is showing
[01:34] <kanzie> soreau: yes, but it is a server...cant reinstall it every year. I did dist-upgrade but it didn't change much
[01:34] <greenjon> Aliv3: glad to hear that :)
[01:34] <jimisrvrox> damn got the no DHCPOFFERS recieved
[01:35] <radi> guys, how do you start grub2 when you reboot
[01:35] <jimisrvrox> I guess the driver is shot
[01:35] <radi> before ubuntu
[01:35] <soreau> kanzie: Then your options include trying to install from source or trying to use the deb from later version of ubuntu repos but this is potentially dangerous
[01:35] <radi> how to go to the options where you can edit grub2
[01:35] <soreau> kanzie: best way would be to try getting the source built
[01:35] <upgrdman> every time i restart i get the "your drives are being check for errors" screen, this didn't happen before. anyone know if this is a common bug?
[01:35] <vallejos> hello
[01:36] <soreau> upgrdman: probably something to do with system time being messed with
[01:37] <dumb_dumb> some one could give me the link to donload the ubuntu server 10.4 64-bit version for intel processor?
[01:37]  * AaronM Aaron
[01:37] <Swian> its the same as amd64
[01:37] <Swian> dumb_dumb its just 64bit, not cpu specific
[01:37] <dumb_dumb> oh isee swaian
[01:38] <dumb_dumb> couse in the file says amd, i thougt is for amd only
[01:38] <Swian> nope
[01:38] <dumb_dumb> oke thanks
[01:38] <Vooloo> are there any desktop widgets that are still in development? I can only find very outdated ones...
[01:38] <olrrai> why netcat has not -exec option?
[01:38] <dumb_dumb> one more thing guys
[01:38] <dumb_dumb> any one has success installing kannel on ubuntu server?
[01:39] <jimisrvrox> so soreau its not getting a dhcp lease from the router
[01:39] <soreau> jimisrvrox: Did you try reloading the driver? rmmod/modprobe
[01:39] <uLinux> "sudo mv /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.Notifications.service /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.Notifications.service.disabled" this renames that file?
[01:39] <jimisrvrox> no I havent tried unloading reloading
[01:40] <soreau> jimisrvrox: also try shutting down or disconnecting all other machines on the LAN to make sure they arent interfering
[01:40] <bastidrazor> uLinux: yes
[01:40] <uLinux> ty bastidrazor
[01:40] <uLinux> brb
[01:41] <xue> good
[01:42] <jimisrvrox> weird this is..
[01:42] <jimisrvrox> tried rmmod/modprobe...sudo essid and dhclient and still no dhcp lease
[01:43] <jimisrvrox> thing about it is I have one wired linux box and my windoze wireless box and this wireless linux box
[01:43] <YankDownUnder> jimisrvrox, Have you tried setting a static IP then changing back to a DHCP lease to see if that resolves the issue?
[01:44] <jimisrvrox> and like I said everything was working fine but one day I decided to mac filter this box off the network and then put it back on later and it worked fine then the next day it went to the crapper
[01:44] <jimisrvrox> I think what I am going to do is power cycle the router and see if that helps with the DHCP lease...
[01:44] <jimisrvrox> brb
[01:45] <remanifest> jimisrvrox: not sure if it would be worth a try, but wicd may be able to do a better job
[01:45] <uLinux> I've set tooltips_enabled to 0 but still there is some alot of popups in Show desktop, tray icons, etc ... How can I disable it?
[01:45] <uLinux> *alot
[01:48] <somaie> j/ #ubuntu-br
[01:50] <jimisrvrox> soreau: well power cycle didnt do anything
[01:50] <a_user> Chinese input support on 9.04?
[01:51] <a_user> i looked at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SCIM
[01:51] <a_user> SCIM does not start at login
[01:51] <a_user> and it is not on the menu
[01:52] <jimisrvrox> YankDownUnder: so what commands would I need to use to set the ip and subnet on the adapter?
[01:53] <hahas> jim,ifconfig
[01:53] <jimisrvrox> wtf is wlan1:avahi?
[01:53] <aaro700930> jimisrvrox ifconfig ethX X.X.X.X netmask <IP_ADDRESS> (maybe) depends on your IP addressing
[01:53] <hahas> jim,u are the typical ubuntu user in my eyes
[01:53] <tyranos> jimisrvrox, sudo ifconfig eth0 netmask <IP_ADDRESS>

[01:54] <jimisrvrox> meh
[01:55] <yuhong> Ubuntu should really raise the CPU for the generic-pae kernel to M686.
[01:55] <yuhong> This way the PAE kernel will get CMOV instructions.
[01:55] <uLinux> I've set tooltips_enabled to 0 but still there is alot of yellow popups. How can I hide/disable them?
[01:57] <imprint> When I got to upload photos to myspace, the computer can see the folder, but cannot see the photos, yet I can go to my pictures folder directly and see all the photos, what would cause this problem?
[01:57] <QpSmiley> hello I'm having a problem with a newly insalled 10.04 LTS on my desktop computer.  I tried to enable the graphics cards drivers to enable normal effect, it told me to restart and when I did the loading screen freaked out and a black and white terminal showed up
[01:59] <YankDownUnder> jimisrvrox, http://www.computerhope.com/unix/uifconfi.htm
[01:59] <jimisrvrox> urghhh...shit setting it static didnt do anything either!

[02:00] <hahas> imprint,from mars?ehmm,you should see some options \
[02:00] <jimisrvrox> ......no comment...on the foul language bot...anyways..
[02:00] <spezticle> after a reboot apache isn't prompting me for my password for the encrypted self signed keys... any suggestions as to why?
[02:00] <RevolLLJK> How can I force Karmic to boot into the login screen?
[02:00] <aaro700930> jimisrvrox are you doing a ping or something to try it work?
[02:00] <RevolLLJK> I can't get into GNOME because I tried to boot straight into XBMC but its broken
[02:00] <bastid_raZor> spezticle: possibly ask in #httpd  ..they may have faster answers
[02:01] <RevolLLJK> Now I can't do anything until I can get back to the login screen...
[02:01] <spezticle> bastid_raZor: thanks :)
[02:01] <jimisrvrox> aaro700930: yeah I was trying to connect to a site
[02:01] <QpSmiley> My login screen is coming up in the terminal ....
[02:01] <QpSmiley> like it says Ubuntu 10.04 LTS evans-desktop tty1
[02:01] <teejis> is there a way to ssh into a ubuntu box, and then start a new x session, when someone is already logged into that ubuntu machine?
[02:01] <QpSmiley> evans-desktop login:
[02:01] <jimisrvrox> ok well this blows even worse...
[02:01] <jimisrvrox> cant ping the router!
[02:02] <m6d4> gnome-screensaver is locking up after you provide it with password, stays on the screen but you can rotate the cube on ubuntu 10.04
[02:02] <m6d4> anyone seen that ?
[02:02] <radi> lol
[02:02] <radi> gnome baker is damn quick
[02:02] <imprint> You got me, thanks, that worked
[02:02] <YankDownUnder> jimisrvrox, Just wondering - is the module for that adapter the proper one - or is there another mod that's interrupting it?
[02:02] <RevolLLJK> ok I'm in TTY, how do i launch into the login screen?
[02:02] <radi> startx
[02:02] <radi> ;p
[02:02] <hahas> lol
[02:02] <QpSmiley> radi will that work for me?
[02:03] <hahas> give a shot
[02:03] <radi> no idea, im not following your case ^^
[02:03] <QpSmiley> ahh well when you get a chance, can I tell you whats happening?
[02:03] <RevolLLJK> startx says x 0 server is already active, how can i kill it?
[02:03] <jimisrvrox> YankDownUnder: havent changed the module on the card and have been using this setup for a while now
[02:04] <jimisrvrox> but I think the driver might be broke if im running a static IP and still cant ping my router
[02:04] <jimisrvrox> but whats weird like I said on DHCP I could get an access point so idk
[02:05] <bastid_raZor> RevolLLJK: ctrl + C
[02:05] <uLinux> I've set tooltips_enabled to 0 but still there is alot of yellow popups. How can I hide/disable them?
[02:05] <bastid_raZor> RevolLLJK: kill the current running X or the startx command?
[02:05] <RevolLLJK> i'm in TTY right now so ctrl C doesnt work
[02:05] <RevolLLJK> yeah i escaped to TTY because my X server is broken right now
[02:05] <aaro700930> jimisrvrox Are you quite sure that wireless card are connected to your wl network?
[02:05] <RevolLLJK> autoboots to XBMC, and it doesnt work right
[02:06] <RevolLLJK> so i need to get to the login screen to change the startup to GNOME
[02:06] <Gryllida> Hi. How do I search for a file by a string inside of it? (Not its name)
[02:06] <aaro700930> jimisrvrox you can try to list wireless networks around you using iwlist "wlan0" scan
[02:06] <Vooloo> anyone know what the compiz effect that hides/shows all windows when you move mouse to a corner is named?
[02:07] <tyranos> Gryllida, grep string files , u can replace files with * for all files in dir
[02:07] <bastid_raZor> RevolLLJK: sudo service gdm stop   .. or sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[02:07] <jimisrvrox> aaro700930: like I said as of 2 days ago it was working fine
[02:07] <RevolLLJK> that did it, thanks
[02:07] <aaro700930> jimisrvrox try iwlist
[02:07] <etotheipi> Vooloo: I believe it's called 'Show Desktop'.
[02:08] <etotheipi> http://wiki.compiz.org/Plugins/Showdesktop
[02:08] <Vooloo> etotheipi: I dont have that one anywhere
[02:08] <Vooloo> no wonder I cant find it

[02:09] <tyranos> Gryllida, do you know how to use commandline
[02:09] <koshie> You can't install a proprietary driver speedbaron ?
[02:09] <speedbaron> not supported?
[02:09] <etotheipi> Vooloo: try installing the plugin packs through apt
[02:09] <jimisrvrox> there are 6 TTY screens to get back into your login you would press F7
[02:09] <koshie> You don't have an icon near the systray ?
[02:09] <Gryllida> tyranos: ok I'll try 'man grep'
[02:09] <RevolLLJK> crap put it to sleep on accident
[02:09] <etotheipi> Vooloo: IIRC, they are compiz-fusion-plugins-main compiz-fusion-plugins-extra

[02:19] <HowdyDoody> In middle of upgrade to 0.04 my keyboard stopped keying.    After a bunch of key banging the Ctrl-Alt-Del key starts to work suddenly.  BAH now I've rebooted and it seems to be hung at ubuntu with the 5 dots.   How to recover ?    ---> I tried:  trl-alt-F1 login and sudo do-release-upgrade......    I got: checking for new ubuntu release  .....    no release found   > What can I try next  to get the upgrade back on track ?
[02:19] <Tniffoc> What format should I convert my AVCHD files into in order to edit them with Vegas 2010 and not lose much quality
[02:19] <Tniffoc> ?
[02:19] <brand0n> anyone have a problem with randomly crashing to login terminal on boot
[02:19] <brand0n> since upgrade
[02:19] <mssever> QpSmiley: If you look at the file ~/.XSession-errors, you'll probably find some info about what went wrong
[02:19] <brand0n> if i do sudo gdm it fixes it fine but i was just wondering if anyone else has the problem
[02:20] <koshie> Good night
[02:20] <QpSmiley> I'm rather new to ubuntu ... how do i do that?
[02:20] <QpSmiley> I typed in Xstart and it said
[02:20] <mssever> QpSmiley: after logging in, type "less ~/.XSession-errors"
[02:21] <bastid_raZor> brand0n: you've probably borked some setting.. create a newuser and see if that fixes things.
[02:21] <QpSmiley> (EE) NVIDIA(0): could not open the device file /dev/nividia0 (input/output error).
[02:21] <QpSmiley> then it also said
[02:21] <brand0n> it crashes before the user
[02:21] <bastid_raZor> brand0n: you can add the new user to have sudo rights by adding them to the admin group:: sudo adduser newuser admin
[02:21] <brand0n> i didnt bork anyting, i upgraded to 10.04
[02:21] <brand0n> welel the thing is it doesnt do it everytime
[02:21] <QpSmiley> (EE) Screen(s) found but none have a usable configuaration
[02:21] <brand0n> id say 7 out of 10 times
[02:21] <brand0n> it does it
[02:21] <brand0n> and a simple sudo gdm fixes it
[02:21] <jimisrvrox> Does anybody think that the driver is borked because of not being able to ping my router even on a static IP?
[02:22] <mssever> brand0n: I don't think there's a way to restart an upgrade. You'll just have to use the command-line tool aptitude to try and recover
[02:22] <QpSmiley> I'll try that msserver
[02:22] <brand0n> mssever theres no problem at all with the upgrade, besides sometimes it goes to the terminal instead of logging into the gui
[02:22] <brand0n> and all i do is sudo gdm
[02:22] <brand0n> and it fixes it
[02:22] <brand0n> so it cant be some serious problem
[02:22] <FloodBot4> brand0n: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[02:23] <thompa> why is irc support so hard to get to now?....arg

[02:24] <therianthrope> Hiya - with dual booting (grub as primary bootloader) is it possible to use Windows 7 BitLocker? I would assume so considering windows is chainloaded, but want to double check.
[02:24] <mssever> I usually start gdm thus: sudo service gdm start
[02:24] <jimisrvrox> mssever: do you think my wireless driver is borked? I dont see how it could be considering iwlist scan sees my network but yet I cant ping the damn router even with a static IP
[02:24] <thompa> anyway. anyone got a dula graphic card switch like stamina/speed on laptop
[02:24] <YankDownUnder> jimisrvrox, Sorry - been busy - what's the driver yer usin?
[02:25] <mssever> jimisrvrox: I don't know too much about wireless troubleshooting. Sorry.
[02:25] <zaiya> how come I get jaggy horizontal lines when moving windows using metacity but not when using mutter (or compiz) ?
[02:25] <Tniffoc> What format should I convert my AVCHD files into in order to edit them with Vegas 2010 and not lose much quality?
[02:26] <jimisrvrox> YankDownUnder: im using the b43/ssb driver and it has been working before 2 days ago...set it to a static IP and cant ping the router but iwlist scan sees my network...this seems very strange to me because being said that iwlist sees the network then I dont think the driver would be borked que no?
[02:26] <imperius1> jimisrvrox: check "iwconfig wlan0". are you connected to your router?
[02:26] <jimisrvrox> YankDownUnder: and I tried rmmod/modprobe..that didnt work either

[02:27] <Benny_132> hi all, quick question, is there a way to have VMware Player automatically start and load my VM after a reboot ?
[02:27] <mssever> Benny_132: put it in your startup programs
[02:27] <imperius1> jimisrvrox: your router might be set up to not allow pinging. it's actually a smart move security-wise.
[02:28] <mssever> Benny_132: or, if you want to launch it prior to login, you can put it in /etc/rc.local
[02:28] <The_Journey> why do I keep getting input/output error when I try to install ubuntu 10.04?
[02:28] <YankDownUnder> jimisrvrox, What you might try to do is to just blow out ANY settings for that card that you can find - in the /etc/peers dir as well - rmmod the driver first - then double check each of the config dirs - also check the blacklist.conf just to be sure...then modprobe the driver again - see if you can force the settings
[02:28] <jimisrvrox> imperius1: I can ping it on my windoze box but now that you said that Im gonna see if I can disallow pinging hehe :)
[02:28] <gtoy> Hi I installed 10.04 but my screen goes black at startup is anyone familiar with graphic card issues? I have an intel 828656G

[02:29] <brand0n> i generaly use devede for converting video but it seems to compress them ridicuouslyl small

[02:30] <Benny_132> mssever: ok cool
[02:30] <jimisrvrox> YankDownUnder: well unfortunately for me im not that familar with the linux directory setup even though ive been using linux now for about 2 yrs and took a linux class but most of that info has gone out of the brain...but now im doing CCNA and ive had problems with these da** broadcom cards in the past with nm-applet and so forth and I had it documented somewhere how I fixed it but havent a...
[02:30] <jimisrvrox> ...clue as to where its at
[02:30] <bastid_raZor> brand0n: its the quality of the avi you're starting with.. i convert mkv's and they tend to be around 3.2GB
[02:31] <QpSmiley> msserver : it told me that blahblahblah /evans/.XSession-errors wasn't a file
[02:31] <brand0n> yea but i remember using a program on windows called convertxtodvd
[02:31] <_mike__> Ive been googling around and couldnt find a decent answer to my problem... Ubuntu doesnt show correctly on Inspiron 2600's did anyone come across a decent fix?
[02:31] <bastid_raZor> brand0n: :\ windows != ubuntu
[02:31] <jimisrvrox> bastid_raZor: hehehe
[02:31] <brand0n> bastid_raZor, when i used convertxtodvd on windows it didnt matter if it was a 700mb avi or a  1.4gb one it ended up making it fit on the dvds max size
[02:31] <benkong2> why is and apt-get dist-upgrade removing all the kde stuff in my lucid ubuntu?
[02:31] <QpSmiley> but I tried running sudo gdm and it said Unable to load file /etc/gdm/custom.conf and it also said Unable to find users no seat-id found
[02:31] <brand0n> is the point im trying to make
[02:31] <YankDownUnder> jimisrvrox, Mate, been there with the Broadcom's before...had to do the same - blow everything out - several times recompile the driver by hand...
[02:31] <mssever> QpSmiley: maybe I remembered the name incorrectly. If you do "ls -A" you'll get a full directory listing. Look for a similar file
[02:31] <The_Journey_> Why do I get the error input / output error when I try to install ubuntu?
[02:31] <brand0n> and brasero is attempting to do the same thing as well
[02:32] <brand0n> but it just locks up at the end
[02:32] <b2bwild> bastid_raZor: its Windows < Ubuntu actually.
[02:32] <QpSmiley> okay
[02:32] <brand0n> the app itself doesnt freeeze, it just stops
[02:32] <Dr_Willis> The_Journey_:  bad cd, bad disk, filesystem/drive errors.
[02:32] <The_Journey_> Dr_Willis: every other linux OS works though
[02:32] <jimisrvrox> YankDownUnder: oh god sounds horrible! and the thing about it is I wanted to boycott Linksys for their crappy chipsets that just dont play well with linux now im actually happy that a power outtage blew out one of my usb wireless cards hahaha
[02:32] <mssever> The_Journey_: There are many possibilities
[02:33] <con-man> does anyone know how to get the quickcam orbits motors working in linux, like making it point up down turning sideways?
[02:33] <Jordan_U> The_Journey: Could you pastebin the output of "dmesg" after the IO error?
[02:33] <jimisrvrox> YankDownUnder: wasted $40 on the card but feels nice to fry their crap if you know what i mean
[02:33] <Dr_Willis> The_Journey_:  give more information about what you are doing. Its very possible its having issues reading the optuical drive/disk
[02:33] <The_Journey_> Dr_Willis: I'm trying to install ubuntu 10.04 using a cd
[02:33] <YankDownUnder> jimisrvrox, Actually, ain't all that bad - the last bc driver I installed (on this laptop) worked heaps better than the one that came with the install...so, on that note...
[02:33] <jimisrvrox> hrm
[02:33] <jimisrvrox> interesting
[02:34] <The_Journey_> Dr_Willis: why would there be problem with my optical drive though, my other livecds work
[02:34] <Dr_Willis> The_Journey_:  if you burnt the cd - uit could be a bad burn, try burning it at the lowest speed the disk can do. or try making a bpptable flash drive
[02:34] <Dr_Willis> The_Journey_:  ive seen (and have) optical drives that cazn be a little flakey.
[02:34] <The_Journey_> Dr_Willis: I did checksum after burning the disk
[02:34] <jimisrvrox> YankDownUnder: well I have no exp in compiling drivers by hand....
[02:34] <Dr_Willis> The_Journey_:  I use bootable flash drives these days, Faster to install and less hassles.
[02:34] <jimisrvrox> YankDownUnder: I wanted to get the book Ubuntu Toolbox the other day but im over here pinching pennies right now
[02:34] <YankDownUnder> jimisrvrox, Something to try, as well, is to stick another card in it - leave the bc card there, blacklist the driver, and try to "Find Hardware Drivers" again to see if that'll blow it out for ya...
[02:35] <Dr_Willis> The quality of Optical drives and media seems to have gotten a lot worse over the last few years.
[02:35] <YankDownUnder> jimisrvrox, :) - yeah - I fully understand the penny pinchin bit mate
[02:35] <Jordan_U> The_Journey_: Try running the check from the CD's boot menu. That will rule out a bad CD or a bad drive (or a combination of the two)
[02:35] <The_Journey_> Dr_Willis: is there anyway to fix this because I don't have an usb
[02:35] <jimisrvrox> YankDownUnder: ok sounds good I can try that but I think I might have the same version of card but im not sure
[02:35] <Dr_Willis> The_Journey_:  i mentioned burning the disk at the slowest speed the drive can handle.
[02:36] <Dr_Willis> The_Journey_:  use siome compressed air and clean out the drive also might help
[02:36] <The_Journey_> Dr_Willis: I did the checksum after the burning, so the burning was successful
[02:36] <sri> is there a way to get network manager to change stuff like network proxy depending if you're at work or at a home network?
[02:36] <Diegooo--> Hola
[02:36] <jimisrvrox> YankDownUnder: mind if I pm then?
[02:36] <The_Journey_> Dr_Willis: like I said, every other livecds work except the ubuntu one though
[02:36] <_mike__> con-man this might help http://www.quickcamteam.net/search?SearchableText=linux
[02:36] <Diegooo--> una pregunta
[02:36] <Diegooo--> se actualizo el kernel de la version 9.04 a la version 10.04 de ubuntu ?
[02:36] <Zeu5> hi i have read the cronhow to documentation. and i have set up a cron job using a gnome task scheduler. i manually run the command via gnome task scheduler it will open a terminal window that executes a svn update command. i set it to every minute. but i have not seen the terminal window appearing every minute. how do i test to know that it works?
[02:36] <Dr_Willis> The_Journey_:  im giving you 'standard' things to try. theres no magic fix.
[02:36] <bastid_raZor> sri: set up profiles in nm-applet
[02:36] <The_Journey_> Dr_Willis: so it's not my optical drive
[02:36] <sri> bastid_raZor: cool.. I'll check that out.
[02:37] <sri> bastid_raZor: what about if you activate a vpn?  still will fix it?
[02:37] <Dr_Willis> The_Journey_:  burn at slowest speed  is  often a fix. Dont ask me why.
[02:37] <jimisrvrox> bastid_raZor: hey what you think of Windoze 7? I know theyre the evil empire but what do you think about it as an OS?
[02:37] <QpSmiley> msserver: it basically said it couldn't find the session file and then a bunch of stuff that didn't look human
[02:37] <bastid_raZor> sri: you can have vpn profiles as well.
[02:37] <The_Journey_> Dr_Willis: if the burning didn't work, then the checksum would have failed
[02:37] <jimisrvrox> YankDownUnder: mind if I pm then?
[02:37] <Zeu5> hi i have read the cronhow to documentation. and i have set up a cron job using a gnome task scheduler. i manually run the command via gnome task scheduler it will open a terminal window that executes a svn update command. i set it to every minute. but i have not seen the terminal window appearing every minute. how do i test to know that it works?
[02:37] <QpSmiley> btw its /.xsession.errors
[02:37] <sri> bastid_raZor: is there a link to an article or something that i can get more information?
[02:37] <bastid_raZor> jimisrvrox: i've used it once, had no real opinion on it.
[02:38] <YankDownUnder> jimisrvrox, Go for it mate
[02:38] <brand0n> anyone use devede?
[02:38] <bastid_raZor> sri right click the icon in the top bar, edit connections. let me look for a howto
[02:38] <Dr_Willis> The_Journey_:  with your logic then - the thing should work.. so what else are you going to try..  takes 0 min to reburn the disk at  the slowerst speed. and another few sec to give the drive a hit of comopressed air. also you could double check the cables.
[02:39] <drizzt_> is there a way to limit physical memory in Ubuntu?
[02:39] <Dr_Willis> The_Journey_:  try the disk in other pc's as a test also i guess
[02:39] <Dr_Willis> but that wont help the problem pc.
[02:39] <Vooloo> is there a way to get Gnome Do for 10.04 ?
[02:39] <maco> drizzt_: to tell it to only use a certain amount and pretend the rest's not there?
[02:39] <Dr_Willis> Vooloo:  its in the repos I think
[02:39] <drizzt_> Vooloo, it is in it
[02:39] <maco> drizzt_: boot with "mem=512m" or whatever
[02:39] <Jordan_U> The_Journey_: It can be a combination of a slightly bad disk and a poor drive. I've had CDs that checksumm'd fine on drive A, but not on drive B. While drive B could read other CDs fine.
[02:39] <drizzt_> cool
[02:40] <Zeu5> hi i have read the cronhow to documentation. and i have set up a cron job using a gnome task scheduler. i manually run the command via gnome task scheduler it will open a terminal window that executes a svn update command. i set it to every minute. but i have not seen the terminal window appearing every minute. how do i test to know that it works?
[02:40] <The_Journey_> Dr_Willis: I have a music player that stores music files, could I use that as a usb to install Ubuntu?
[02:40] <Dr_Willis> Jordan_U:  im on my 3rd optical drive for my main box.  Just cant seem to get ones that can last these days
[02:40] <Dr_Willis> The_Journey_:  doubtfull.
[02:40] <brand0n> can anyone explain to me why in DeVeDe i add an avi file and it will say like 120% disk usage but when its done converting the iso is like 2.0gb?
[02:40] <CaptainTrek> The_Journey_:  i don't recommend it.
[02:40] <Dr_Willis> The_Journey_:  if it can me made 'bootable' it might work. but i wouldent guiarentee that
[02:40] <The_Journey_> Dr_Willis: Isn't it just an external storage too?
[02:41] <bastid_raZor> sri: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkManager0.7?highlight=(nm\-applet)   it doesn't talk about vpn but you will get the general idea on how to use nm-applet
[02:41] <CaptainTrek> The_Journey_:  not quite, sometimes the thing has its own software hiding somewhere on the storage partition(s)
[02:41] <The_Journey_> I thought a music player is an external storage with drivers to play mp3's files?
[02:41] <Jordan_U> Dr_Willis: With grub2's iso booting I hardly ever need a physical CD any more :)
[02:41] <Dr_Willis> brand0n:  its goofy :) ive seen that also. click on the  button to the left of the  120% gague to get it to resize/recalculate. and it seems to give a more proper answer
[02:41] <sri> bastid_raZor: thanks!
[02:41] <CaptainTrek> The_Journey_:  it depends on the music player/device.
[02:41] <jdsbluedevl> hi, I'm having a major problem.  I just reinstalled Ubuntu from scratch on my computer, and now I can't get an Ethernet connection working.  Can someone help me?
[02:41] <bastid_raZor> sri: best of luck
[02:41] <Dr_Willis> Jordan_U:  Yep. same here. About ready to remove my flakey optical drive and put in another TB hd.
[02:42] <Costanza> does anyone know how to fix this on ubuntu: configure: error: could not find DocBook XSL Stylesheets in XML catalog , i found something by googling but it does not work on ubuntu (Fix:     apt-get install docbook-style-xsl)
[02:42] <The_Journey_> CaptainTrek: I have a Sly P3 Digital Player, would that work as a usb to install ubuntu?
[02:42] <Dr_Willis> Jordan_U:  burnt some cd's for a friend (ubuntu) and went to check summ them and they all 3 failed with IO errors :( couldent even md5sum them
[02:42] <Jordan_U> Dr_Willis: I used to always have hundreds of old Distro pre-release coasters lying around, along with a few dead flash drives :)
[02:43] <CaptainTrek> The_Journey_:  in my experience, installing a linux partition to a music player / MP3 playing device has bad after-effects.
[02:43] <The_Journey_> CaptainTrek: like what?
[02:43] <The_Journey_> CaptainTrek: does it just not work?
[02:43] <QpSmiley> Anyone else want to take a crack at how to fix my problem?:  I enabled my graphics card driver and it starts up in the terminal login screen instead of the gdm anyone want to take a crack at it?
[02:44] <OldPete> brand0n: I've noticed other apps that rely on DVDAuthor that have that same problem.  I haven't researched it, but I suspect it's something wrong in the reporting in that or one of the apps it relies on.
[02:44] <CaptainTrek> The_Journey_:  i'm unfamiliar with the device you mentioned, but most of those devices cannot, I repeat, CANNOT handle the ext3/ext4 partitions used by linux, thus preventing you from using the MP3 player to listen to music.
[02:44] <jdsbluedevl> hi, I'm having trouble getting an Internet connection with my fresh Ubuntu install.  Can someone help me?
[02:44] <glorious__> I just want to say earlier today I asked about trying to connect from tsclient on 10.04 to a Vista machine. I got an error and couldn't figure it out.
[02:44] <Jordan_U> QpSmiley: "sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf-bak" should get GDM starting again, but I can't help much with getting the proprietary drivers working.
[02:45] <juan_> do u guys know if there is an app that will make the state of ur current OS into an ISO image and then later on u can install it and have it like u had it then?
[02:45] <sri> bastid_raZor: not quite what I was looking for.. what I wanted to do was change like my firefox proxy, my apt proxy etc etc.
[02:45] <therianthrope> Why isn't my question being answered?
[02:46] <glorious__> But just now I discovered TeamViewer has a Linux client/server free for personal use. Wayyyy simple.  Worked right off.  i'll still try to figure out the FLOSS tools at some point, but for now at least I'm up and running.
[02:46] <sri> bastid_raZor: there was a tool that did something like this written by Ross Burton I just can't remember what it was.
[02:46] <QpSmiley> thank you Jordan_U will give it a try
[02:46] <tyranos> therianthrope just post your question again and wait
[02:47] <Shade57> Has anyone been having trouble sharing files between windows and linux through a fat32 partition?
[02:47] <therianthrope> Hiya - with dual booting (grub as primary bootloader) is it possible to use Windows 7 BitLocker? I would assume so considering windows is chainloaded, but want to double check
[02:47] <glorious__> This tool (TeamViewer) could be useful for giving support here. No brainer simple.
[02:47] <jdsbluedevl> can anyone here help me get my Internet connection working?  I plug in my Ethernet cable, Ubuntu tries hard to connect, and then ultimately times out
[02:47] <Jordan_U> QpSmiley: You're welcome.
[02:48] <Zeu5> hi i have read the cronhow to documentation. and i have set up a cron job using a gnome task scheduler. i manually run the command via gnome task scheduler it will open a terminal window that executes a svn update command. i set it to every minute. but i have not seen the terminal window appearing every minute. how do i test to know that it works?
[02:49] <The_Journey_> why do I get not authorized error when I try to plug in an external usb?
[02:49] <tyranos> therianthrope,  http://itcrumbs.blogspot.com/2010/05/ubuntu-on-bitlocker-protected.html
[02:49] <Traveler> hi
[02:50] <Traveler> I've installed xmonad on ubuntu but when I chose the xmonad session it doesn't load it. Just stays at the gdm screen. Why?
[02:50] <bastid_raZor> sri: ah, i do not know how to do what you're wanting.
[02:50] <jdsbluedevl> ok, I'm begging someone to help me with my Internet connection issue
[02:50] <sri> bastid_raZor: that's cool. I knwo someone has written something.. basically you want to autoconfig your laptop to not have any dependencies on your work network and vice versa.
[02:50] <Dr_Willis> Traveler:  try the xterm session and load xmonad by hand. there could be some config issues with xmonad.
[02:51] <therianthrope> Tyranos: Win7 and Ubuntu are already installed - safe to encrypt?
[02:51] <Zeu5> hi i have posed my questions 3 times in a row without a response while googling non stop to see how my issue can be resolved. does anyone with experience with cron help me?
[02:51] <tyranos> therianthrope, i dont know anything about bitlocker i first heard of it when you asked :) sry but cant help you there
[02:52] <tyranos> therianthrope, but maybe someone else can, read that article first
[02:52] <Traveler> Dr_Willis: Config issues with xmonad ? Xmonad works like a charm on other distributions so I doubt it.
[02:52] <QpSmiley> okay ... well that didnt work Jordan_U
[02:52] <Traveler> Anyone in here running xmonad ?
[02:52] <machine_> Ola!
[02:52] <bastid_raZor> Traveler: possibly look in .xsession-errors for possible errors
[02:52] <machine_> Algum Brasileiro ?
[02:52] <Dr_Willis> Traveler:  one way to find out.. try loading it by hand.. look for error messages
[02:53] <jdsbluedevl> does ANYONE here have experience with an Ethernet card that won't connect to the Internet?
[02:53] <Zeu5> hi i have read the cronhow to documentation. and i have set up a cron job using a gnome task scheduler. i manually run the command via gnome task scheduler it will open a terminal window that executes a svn update command. i set it to every minute. but i have not seen the terminal window appearing every minute. how do i test to know that it works?
[02:53] <brand0n> anyone who converts movies alot: ffmpeg or mencoder?
[02:53] <jdsbluedevl> machine_: solamente ingles
[02:53] <holmser_> anyone have experience with a pxe install?
[02:53] <Shade57> I dont know if this will be helpful to anyone or not, but you can create a fat32 partition on a dual-boot system (i used Windows 7 to create the partition) and use that to share files between Linux/Ubuntu (im using Backtrack 4) as long you have it setup as Shared in Windows.
[02:54] <brand0n> mencoder seems to compress stuff way more than necessary when converting to dvd, ffmpeg seems to focus more on quality than compression
[02:54] <UBUNTUnoCD> How to set grub, so the text based ubuntu inatalator will not look for CD but it will take hd0,10 as a cdrom ?
[02:54] <Jordan_U> !patience | jdsbluedevl
[02:54] <QpSmiley> Jordan_U : I entered it .. no confirmation that it worked so then i tried to Ctrl+alt+f7 then that came up with a screen that had something about an AppArmor profile so i guess that didn't work then i forced shutdown then i entered it again and it said it couldnt stat xorg.conf
[02:54] <jdsbluedevl> yeah, but it feels so simple it's stupid, and for some reason I can't figure it out
[02:54] <Jordan_U> QpSmiley: What version of Ubuntu?
[02:54] <QpSmiley> 10.04
[02:54] <Jordan_U> UBUNTUnoCD: What are you trying to accomplish?
[02:55] <Dr_Willis> brand0n:  both have 2000+ settings you can try and work with differnt codecs. So its all a matter of what you want to do.
[02:55] <UBUNTUnoCD> I can run ubuntu instalator from Grub, but how set grub, so the text based ubuntu inatalator will not look for CD but it will take hd0,10 as a cdrom ?
[02:55] <UBUNTUnoCD> Jordan_U, copy instlall CD to hda11 and intall it from there
[02:55] <brand0n> Dr_Willis, ive used DeVeDe for awhile and it always compresses movies to a retarded degree (whether its a 700mb avi or 1.4gb avi it comes out to be around 2gb iso)
[02:55] <brand0n> id rather it use all of the dvd and be better quality
[02:56] <Dr_Willis> brand0n:  play with the settings then.
[02:56] <tyranos> UBUNTUnoCD,  i managed once to install from the  ubuntu alternate-cd as an iso from my harddrive, but i think what you want is different
[02:56] <UBUNTUnoCD> tyranos, I use alternate CD for minimal install, all sowteare needs to be installed manually
[02:56] <Jordan_U> UBUNTUnoCD: What is your end goal? See: http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#goal
[02:57] <tyranos> UBUNTUnoCD, so what i understand is that you have no cd player but wish to install from an iso am i correct ?
[02:57] <tyranos> UBUNTUnoCD, i mean no cdrom drive
[02:57] <Zeu5> hi i have read the cronhow to documentation. and i have set up a cron job using a gnome task scheduler. i manually run the command via gnome task scheduler it will open a terminal window that executes a svn update command. i set it to every minute. but i have not seen the terminal window appearing every minute. how do i test to know that it works?
[02:58] <gonzoBLUE> hi all
[02:58] <UBUNTUnoCD> tyranos, yes
[02:58] <QpSmiley> is there a command to isntall the default graphics driver?
[02:58] <maco> Zeu5: run "top" and see if it pops up?
[02:58] <hiexpo> !hi | gonzoBLUE
[02:58] <aaroninfidel> anyone here use neatx?
[02:58] <aaroninfidel> I don't know how to restart it.
[02:58] <tertl3> Zeu5: did you add the correct letters
[02:58] <jdsbluedevl> can anyone here help me get my Internet connection working?  I plug in my Ethernet cable, Ubuntu tries hard to connect, and then ultimately times out
[02:59] <Zeu5> maco: what do you mean by run "top"?
[02:59] <Roky> Does anyone here have a laptop with a core i3 or i5 succesfully running on any variation of *nix?
[02:59] <UBUNTUnoCD> Jordan_U, I boot alternate installer from hda11 , but it looks for CD and can not install, I guess I have to add some grub option, so the installator will know where are the installation files.
[02:59] <tertl3> i did a crontab @reboot and I got it working after some trouble
[02:59] <UBUNTUnoCD> tyranos, my CDrw is unreadable
[02:59] <tyranos> UBUNTUnoCD, and youo cant boot off a usb key or flash drive ?
[02:59] <gonzoBLUE> man I love lubuntu
[02:59] <Jordan_U> UBUNTUnoCD: Please read the link that I gave you.
[03:00] <Zeu5> tertl3: what do you mean by add the correct letters? i run the scheduled task manually within gnome-scheduler.it works so  i dun understand why the scheduler does not work
[03:00] <UBUNTUnoCD> tyranos, I do not have it
[03:00] <Zeu5> tertl3: please elaborate how you got crontab to work
[03:00] <RondoRaven> after changing kernels I have lost my splash screen. does anybody know how to fix?
[03:00] <Zeu5> tertl3: thank you very much
[03:00] <UBUNTUnoCD> Jordan_U, I responsed as the given exaple is, on that link. :) what could be improved :) ?
[03:00] <gonzoBLUE> apt-get install gdm  I believe
[03:01] <tertl3> Zeu5: someone walked me through it but hang on I'll try to find it
[03:01] <maco> Zeu5: the top command shows what commands are running
[03:01] <zkw> hello
[03:01] <tyranos> Jordan_U, you waisted my time
[03:01] <tyranos> :P
[03:02] <nibblyn> jdb_,
[03:02] <UBUNTUnoCD> tyranos, I had no problem with arch about that :-D
[03:02] <UBUNTUnoCD> Jordan_U, I had no problem with arch about that :-D
[03:02] <tertl3> Zeu5: here it is to run irssi at boot up  @reboot sleep 50 && screen -d -m -S irssi irssi
[03:02] <Jordan_U> UBUNTUnoCD: "booting the alternate installer from hda11" is still a step, not a goal. I assume, for example, that you want to install Ubuntu, and there is something stopping you from doing that normally by booting from CD.
[03:02] <Zeu5> maco:  i run top but i see nothing that looks like svn update OR gnome-schedule or cron
[03:03] <bastid_raZor> tertl3: you have to use /full/paths/to/command in cron
[03:03] <UBUNTUnoCD> Jordan_U, yes, no CD , no usb drive
[03:03] <jdsbluedevl> can anyone here help me get my Internet connection working?  I plug in my Ethernet cable, Ubuntu tries hard to connect, and then ultimately times out
[03:03] <tertl3> bastid_raZor: it works
[03:03] <maco> Zeu5: hmm in that case maybe: while [1] ; do ps -ef | grep "svn" ; done
[03:03] <Zeu5> tertl3: i am trying to run a svn update. my command as i have mentioned just now is working because i run it manually. i am just stumped as to why it appears not to be running every minute as i planned. do you have an insight into this?
[03:04] <tyranos> UBUNTUnoCD, it is possible i did it once on my old computer with broken cd rom, ijust cant find that guide
[03:04] <pvl1> i cant get a second hd to mount as 777, i tried using pysdm and that was no luck
[03:04] <tertl3> Zeu5: no, I think you have typed something incorrectly or left something out of your command
[03:04] <Zeu5> bastid_raZor: tertl3 was trying to help me with my cron issue. which i deeply appreciate. do you have any insights as to how i can get my scheduled tasks to work?
[03:05] <crf> hi, when I don't use the computer for ten minutes, I have the screen set to go blank. When I come back, it asks me for my password
[03:05] <tertl3> Zeu5: try #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:05] <crf> How do I stop it asking for my password?
[03:05] <tertl3> crf, screensaver
[03:05] <joshmuffin> Hello, is anyone free to lend me a hand with conky?
[03:05] <Jordan_U> UBUNTUnoCD: The absolute easiest method is to boot the netboot installer (which is just a kernel and initramfs)
[03:05] <crf> hi tertl3, could you explain a bit more?
[03:06] <tertl3> crf, so to screensaver settings and try to change it
[03:06] <Zeu5> tertl3: i disagree. but you may be right. here it is : svn update /opt/lampp/htdocs/wp
[03:06] <shodan45> would burning an ubuntu cd iso onto a dvd work?
[03:06] <Zeu5> tertl3: i go post in offtopic as well. i hope it works
[03:06] <QpSmiley> How can I disable the graphics driver I enabled that screwed up my gdm?
[03:06] <tertl3> Zeu5: what about the interval?
[03:06] <merma> shodan45, yes
[03:06] <tyranos> UBUNTUnoCD, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-ubuntukubuntuedubuntuxubuntu-without-cdrom-drive.html
[03:06] <crf> ok tertl3, I'll look, thanks.
[03:06] <shodan45> merma, ty
[03:06] <Jordan_U> UBUNTUnoCD: I think that the installer might complain if it's booted from the same drive you're installing to, even if you aren't modifying the particular partition it's on.
[03:06] <nibblyn> jdsbluedevl, so this is a fresh install? which means it worked before?
[03:06] <tyranos> Jordan_U, it is possible i didnt check the link i posted
[03:07] <jdsbluedevl> nibblyn: yes
[03:07] <tyranos> Jordan_U, it is possible i did it, check the link i posted
[03:07] <joshmuffin> can anyone help me with conky?
[03:07] <nibblyn> jdsbluedevl, do you use a router?
[03:07] <jdsbluedevl> nibblyn: although I was having issues with my second Ethernet card when trying to set up an ICS, which is why I did a clean install, but I digress
[03:07] <jdsbluedevl> nibblyn: no
[03:07] <bastid_raZor> joshmuffin: ask in the channel, someone may be able to help
[03:08] <tyranos> joshmuffin, go to the #conky channel
[03:08] <joshmuffin> @bastid RaZor: no one is replying
[03:08] <Zeu5> tertl3: i dont quite understand your instruction but i think you meant this: * * * * * svn update /opt/lampp/htdocs/wp # JOB_ID_1
[03:08] <jdsbluedevl> I've seen the issue a few times in the forum, but I haven't seen how it was solved.  All of them were left hanging
[03:08] <jdsbluedevl> nibblyn: I've seen the issue a few times in the forum, but I haven't seen how it was solved.  All of them were left hanging
[03:08] <bastid_raZor> joshmuffin: i haven't seen you ask an actual question in this channel.

[03:11] <nibblyn> jdsbluedevl, that's seems to be too complicated for my knowledge, sorry, try to describe your problem in a specific way, your last sentence was much better that saying "I can't connect", they will pick you up

[03:15] <CaptainTrek> !cn | zkw
[03:15] <hiexpo> cummicating through martians right now
[03:15] <jdsbluedevl> pvi1: so there are no entries for eth0 or eth1 in /etc/network/interfaces
[03:15] <centr0> is there anyway for compiz to work with fglrx drivers on ubuntu 10?
[03:15] <manchot> is exim the default MTA in ubuntu?
[03:16] <jdsbluedevl> pvi1: which i guess means I have to make the entries?
[03:16] <Aliv3> jdsbluedevl if no internet how are you on freenode?
[03:16] <jdsbluedevl> Aliv3: another computer
[03:16] <Aliv3> oh
[03:16] <blackscreen> does anyone here had problems with video card on lucid?
[03:16] <greezmunkey> jdsbluedevl: what are you connecting your ethernet cable to, cable/dsl modem? Does that device hand out addresses? Do you have a link light?
[03:16] <masshuu> i have a complete backup of a server in a sub directory. is there a way to get the list of packages installed in this backup
[03:17] <pvl1> jdsbluedevl, i message you outside the irc, can we move into there?
[03:17] <jdsbluedevl> greezmunkey: university T1
[03:17] <jdsbluedevl> pvi1: ok
[03:17] <hiexpo> !ask | blackscreen
[03:17] <greezmunkey> jdsbluedevl: So you are connected to a LAN, do you have a link light?
[03:18] <jdsbluedevl> greezmunkey: yes, link light is on, but I just can't connect
[03:19] <greezmunkey> jdsbluedevl: left click the network manager icon in the upper right of your screen, do you see an available connection, maybe called auto eth0?
[03:19] <no-name> how do you run an app under a different audio type? (e.g. pulse, alsa
[03:19] <jdsbluedevl> greezmunkey: the problem is in /etc/network/interfaces, there is only one entry in there, and it pertains to lo.  No eth0 or eth1 in that file
[03:20] <greezmunkey> jdsbluedevl: that only means that network manager is available to manage your connections, it's bby design.
[03:20] <jdsbluedevl> oh
[03:20] <jdsbluedevl> greezmunkey: oh right, the entries would have to be commented out anyways
[03:21] <greezmunkey> jdsbluedevl: so left click the NM icon, is there an availabe connection?
[03:21] <blackscreen> what does it mean if i don't ask  i can't ask?? :)
[03:21] <xyzaffair> using the broadcom STA propriatery in 10.04 but getting poor signal strengths / slow transfers about 1.5mbs at best and im sitting next to an N router, any ideas?
[03:21] <jdsbluedevl> greezmunkey: just eth1, and I tried it.  It times out on me
[03:21] <QpSmiley> If i startx i get (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.  ... what should I do?
[03:21] <Alejandro89> anybody knows how to install a Canon Pixma iP 1500 Printer in Lucid Lynx?
[03:21] <QpSmiley> im trying to load my gdm but it wont start up I'm in tty1
[03:21] <jdsbluedevl> greezmunkey: dhclient wasn't getting any DHCPOFFERS
[03:21] <pvl1> Alejandro89, google around for it to see if thers a driver
[03:22] <pvl1> QpSmiley, do you already have one running?
[03:22] <QpSmiley> one what? gdm or tty1?
[03:22] <greezmunkey> jdsbluedevl: ok, right click that same icon, select edit connections, what do you see there under wired connections?
[03:22] <Alejandro89> the problem is that they are not any drivers for iP1500.
[03:22] <pvl1> QpSmiley, are you running another xserver at the same time
[03:22] <jdsbluedevl> greezmunkey: Auth eth0 and Auto eth1
[03:22] <pvl1> Alejandro89, sorry, i doubr your gonan have any luck. unless you can port a windows driver somehow
[03:23] <pvl1> xyzaffair, 1.5 within a lan or the internet
[03:23] <Shade37> i need help. Im a bit new to linux and this irc, so how do i get past the "ban" on the #backtrack-linux channel?
[03:23] <greezmunkey> jdsbluedevl: in a terminal window, run ifconfig - what interfaces show up? Is eth0 one of them?
[03:23] <QpSmiley> to be honest I don't know ... before i tried to enable a driver(NVIDIA) and when i restarted my gdm got all messed up .. so it started in tty1 so I'm just trying to get back to where I was prior to enabling the driver
[03:23] <jdsbluedevl> greezmunkey: ifconfig shows both eth0 and eth1
[03:23] <bastid_raZor> Shade37: ask in #freenode
[03:23] <jdsbluedevl> greezmunkey: as well as eth0:avahi and eth1:avahi
[03:24] <greezmunkey> jdsbluedevl: edit auto eth0, what do you see for method?
[03:24] <blackscreen> mo muri da
[03:24] <pvl1> QpSmiley, ah, try restarting
[03:24] <xyzaffair> pvl1, within lan
[03:24] <greezmunkey> jdsbluedevl: belay that...
[03:24] <Shade37> bastid_raZor: thx for the tip
[03:24] <QpSmiley> tried it several times
[03:24] <acerimmer> Shade37: sorry, you'll have to ask the board mods over there - nothing to do with this channel.
[03:24] <jdsbluedevl> greezmunkey: Automatic (DHCP)
[03:24] <Alejandro89> I found a web where somebody explains how to install it but I get in troubles in one step.
[03:24] <xyzaffair> pvl1, was getting about 3.0mb on windows so I know something is wrong and my connection % is bad
[03:24] <greezmunkey> jdsbluedevl: do you also have a wireless interface installed?
[03:25] <jdsbluedevl> greezmunkey: no
[03:25] <pvl1> xyzaffair, you sure u got a good driver on it then
[03:25] <xyzaffair> pvl1, im using the one from hardware manager the broadcom STA
[03:26] <greezmunkey> jdsbluedevl: ok, try this in a terminal window: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart - see what happens...
[03:26] <pvl1> QpSmiley, you most likely need to reinstall the driver then
[03:26] <jdsbluedevl> greezmunkey: ok, what next?
[03:26] <pvl1> xyzaffair, i gotcha. now is this over http? or howd u check it
[03:26] <QpSmiley> pvl1, I would love to how do I do that in tty1 ... or I will just go back to the default driver
[03:26] <xyzaffair> pvl1, um nfs client/server transfer a big file
[03:27] <greezmunkey> jdsbluedevl:  left click the NM icon, look for available connections
[03:27] <jdsbluedevl> greezmunkey: same eth1, same timeout problem
[03:27] <pvl1> xyzaffair, ok, you sure got ports open and such?
[03:27] <pvl1> QpSmiley, to make it easy, just install envy-ng
[03:27] <xyzaffair> pvl1, that doesn't matter on a lan...
[03:27] <bastid_raZor> !envy-ng
[03:27] <greezmunkey> jdsbluedevl: ok, well then we'll have to dig a bit deeper...
[03:27] <pvl1> xyzaffair, it depends on the dhcp server in the router, if you have a modern router, it doesnt matter
[03:27] <QpSmiley> pvl1 im new so would sudo apt-get install envy-ng work?
[03:27] <bastid_raZor> !envyng
[03:27] <pvl1> QpSmiley, yep
[03:28] <xyzaffair> pvl1, its an N router, anyway my signal % tells the story its way too low
[03:28] <greezmunkey> jdsbluedevl: is the comp you are using now connected to the same network?
[03:28] <xyzaffair> pvl1, been trying this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1390979 but I cant get past make. someone else posted same issues I have headers installed but it's not seeing them or something weird.
[03:29] <pvl1> xyzaffair, my best guess is the driver is iffy
[03:29] <jdsbluedevl> greezmunkey: no, laptop is connected to university wireless, Ubuntu computer should be connected to wired Ethernet connection
[03:29] <xyzaffair> pvl1, its the one ubuntu ships .....

[03:34] <jrtayloriv> I'm getting the following error message while trying to install the kubuntu-desktop package: http://pastebin.ca/1880888
[03:34] <jrtayloriv> What should I do about this?
[03:34] <thune3> Lividmime: does aplay give you output? aplay <whatever wav file>
[03:34] <uo3273-fvarklb> sebsebseb: OK - so you're obviously familiar with the hosts-file ...
[03:34] <today> Can you help me pls? i dont know how enable wifi for dell inspiron 1464( installed) Lucid
[03:34] <jrtayloriv> (Nevermind -- /me should have just f-ing googled it, sorry)
[03:35] <wubba> today try this:

[03:35] <jrtayloriv> Grydilla -- thx, will try
[03:35] <uo3273-fvarklb> Is anyone familiar with the hosts-file.  It's a simple text file you put into the /etc directory in order to block unwanted spammers and other such crap ...
[03:35] <sebsebseb> uo3273-fvarklb: it can be set up to  block access to certain websites and such though
[03:35] <sebsebseb> uo3273-fvarklb: not sure of details though
[03:36] <thune3> Lividmime: what hardware do you have?
