[19:14] <somethingelse> hello.  i removed my logical partitions and wrote down all the start/end sectors.  then i recreated them and made sure to use the same start/end sectors as before.  now when i try to mount them i get an error saying that they are not valid ext3 partitions, even though i did set them to 83 in fdisk.  any thoughts?
[19:14] <servidor> can someone help me install a manager LanHouse
[19:15] <faheem_> Magnesium, been through that guide and honestly i think its crap but lemme give it another go =P
[19:15] <steffan> Pyker: then typing !portuguese would be more helpful
[19:15] <Pyker> servidor, you can try #ubuntu-br
[19:15] <Pyker> sorry steffan, i don't know the bot's commands xD
[19:15] <Magnesium> faheem_: IDK...I don't have an iPhone, so I don't how well the stuff works.
[19:15] <mindos> jef91 anything. i ll just try for testing.
[19:15] <Pyker> !portuguese | servidor
[19:15] <tucemiux> mindos, use "add/remove" to search for an app, what engineering program youre thinking about? there should be more than plenty

[19:16] <servidor> Ok Thanks for the information thank
[19:16] <sponzor> is there anyting similar to this but that it is free? https://landscape.canonical.com/

[19:16] <faheem_> no worries Magnesium frustation i getting to me*
[19:16] <jef91> mindos tucemiux - remember as of 9.10 add/remove has been replaced by the software center
[19:16] <skiwithpete> hi
[19:16] <Magnesium> faheem_: methinks the iPhone will do that to you :P
[19:16] <faheem_> 'the worst part is ubuntu is a big operating system and their is no itunes for it :/
[19:16] <mindos> i know i t jef91. tnx
[19:16] <faheem_> Magnesium, Apple in truth
[19:16] <jef91> faheem_ Why use iTunes?
[19:16] <evantandersen_> faheem_: try banshee for a similar experience
[19:17] <tucemiux> jef91, im using ubuntu studio and I still have "add/remove"
[19:17] <Magnesium> faheem_: Apple doesn't really like Linux...I have a MacBook, which runs Linux great
[19:17] <frol> can someone tell me why when i update my .profile or my .bash_profile and execute 'bash' the updates are not there
[19:17] <Bunklesmush> does the nickname registry not recognize gmail addresses as valid e-mail addresses?
[19:17] <faheem_> jef91, simple reason = i live in sa
[19:17] <Magnesium> faheem_: But iPhone + Linux is not good
[19:17] <frol> but iff i connect in ssh they are
[19:17] <skiwithpete> I've just put a 2gb usb key in my computer and it won't load... it looks like its sleeping (so the light tells me) - my computer is on battery, how can i mount this drive?
[19:17] <JoeEvans> tucemiux: truecrypt works with linux so i dont see why not
[19:17] <faheem_> Magnesium, iphone + any means of other communication is vad
[19:17] <faheem_> bad*
[19:17] <jef91> eww iPhone, N900 ftw
[19:17] <faheem_> im jailbreaking this idiot as soon as i get home
[19:17] <steffan> !offtopic
[19:17] <Magnesium> faheem_: Very True...maybe you should get an Android or WebOS powered phone?
[19:18] <tucemiux> JoeEvans, LUKS works with linux as well, what I'm trying to figure out is if there is a utility that will allow you to encrypt a partition that already has data on it
[19:18] <Trek> !ot | jef91 / faheem_  Magnesium
[19:18] <faheem_> Magnesium, i have one :) but i was very intested in seeing the iphoine
[19:18] <skiwithpete> does ubuntu have a power reduced mode where the USB don't get proper power?
[19:18] <skiwithpete> or won't mount?
[19:18] <Magnesium> faheem_: I don't blame you for jailbraking it.
[19:18] <sponzor> is there anyting similar to this but that it is free? https://landscape.canonical.com/ ?
[19:18] <evantandersen_> skiwithpete: pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l
[19:19] <faheem_> Magnesium, its like they want us to resort to being illegal...
[19:19] <evantandersen_> !pastebin
[19:19] <faheem_> whole point of using ubuntu = no piracy etc
[19:19] <Trek> jef91, faheem_, and Magnesium: if you wish to talk about non_Ubuntu stuff, go to #ubuntu-offtopic to discuss it, this is the support channel.
[19:19] <sildur> Je vous HAIS tous !!!!!!!!!!!
[19:19] <Pici> Magnesium, faheem_: Please stay on topic.  #ubuntu is for Ubuntu support, not chatting about the iphone.  Consider #ubuntu-offtopic or ##iphone instead.
[19:19] <Magnesium> faheem_: OK we should stop now
[19:19] <faheem_> kinky.. ok sorry guys

[19:20] <frol> nobody for my .profile problem?
[19:20] <faheem_> no shit....
[19:21] <skiwithpete> anyways, its all sda1-6
[19:21] <Boeboe> lovely :)
[19:21] <skiwithpete> the usb is not shown
[19:21] <Myrtti> !language | faheem_
[19:21] <bullgard> Why does Ubuntu install on every system by default a user account 'postfix'?
[19:21] <Seveas> frol, .profile is only executed when you login. You want to add things to .bashrc instead
[19:21] <ard1an> How can i secure my home folder ?
[19:21] <JoeEvans> frol: please repeat prob
[19:21] <skiwithpete> evantandersen_, did you get that, it can only see my HDD
[19:21] <Seveas> ard1an, chmod og-rwx ~
[19:21] <evantandersen_> skiwithpete: what do you mean? actually, run this:       sudo fdisk -l | !pastebinit
[19:21] <frol> when i update my .profile or my .bash_profile and execute 'bash' the updates are not there
[19:21] <Seveas> frol, .profile is only executed when you login. You want to add things to .bashrc instead
[19:21] <ard1an> thanks Seveas
[19:22] <Boeboe> I've been trying ages to get my radeon x1600 working. Appearantly the propietary drivers no longer support it and the open drivers don't have decent 3D acceleration, how do I get it working?
[19:22] <evantandersen_> skiwithpete: oh... fdisk doesnt even show the usb?
[19:22] <frol> Seveas: and whatfor is .bash_profile?
[19:22] <skiwithpete> no, it doesn't show it
[19:22] <frol> Seveas: also only at login?
[19:22] <brad[]> Hi all, I'm noticing that some of my desktops show a gradient in the translency of the titlebar in a backgrounded window, and others simply show the titlebar/borders with uniform translucency. Is there an obvious reason for that? I'm using nvidia cards everywhere.
[19:22] <Seveas> frol, it's the bash-specific .profile. Shells such as ksh don't read it
[19:22] <Boeboe> also, with all my fiddling, I cant get ubuntu to even use the working video drivers, so now Im stuck in safe graphics mode :/. There is the x.conf file, but I have no idea what to put in there
[19:22] <frol> Seveas: thanks a mlot
[19:23] <evantandersen_> skiwithpete: I have to ask how comfortable are you with linux in general? new user? advanced?
[19:23] <skiwithpete> I've been using Ubuntu since 7.04, but I'm just an end user - I don't know how to code
[19:24] <lantizia> My Microphone isn't working, but I know it's in the right port - the physical mic is working - and alsamixer has it on CAPTURE
[19:24] <evantandersen_> skiwithpete: thanks. If your usb is not showing up in fdisk linux is not aware, which points to a hardware problem Have you tried using a different usb port?
[19:24] <duffydack> lsusb?
[19:25] <skiwithpete> yeah, I've tried all 4
[19:25] <duffydack> dmesg | tail  after pluggin it in
[19:25] <skiwithpete> the usb key lights up like its going to read it, then it switches to sleep mode and does the long slow blink that Cruzers do, meaning it is ejected
[19:26] <ivansmo> Can You tell me the terminal command for installing dev c++ on xubuntu 8.04 ?? like this on link   http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html
[19:26] <lungan> Having some trouble since reinstalling ubuntu, my partitionated disk always ask for password when i click on it? how do i remove that password?
[19:26] <duffydack> skiwithpete, I have 2 cruzers, both work ok.  1gb and 16gb
[19:26] <erUSUL> ivansmo: devc++ is a windows app afaik

[19:27] <jef91> lungan what is the partition name? /dev/sd??
[19:27] <salin> connect irc.quakenet.org
[19:28] <skiwithpete> duffy did you see the output?
[19:28] <ivansmo> OK Im installing anjuta
[19:28] <duffydack> skiwithpete, odd.. should output an sdX like mine : [ 2973.026335] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through
[19:28] <lungan> jef91, /media
[19:29] <dyustin> someone familiar with intel 915 chipset and its TV-out ?
[19:29] <skiwithpete> so you know, I have a 2 and a 16, they are in opposite usbs (one on eitherside)
[19:29] <jef91> lungan - thats where it auto mounts to. What is the partition location? To find this run:   sudo fdisk -l
[19:29] <Boeboe> I've been trying ages to get my radeon x1600 working. Appearantly the propietary drivers no longer support it and the open drivers don't have decent 3D acceleration, how do I get it working?
[19:29] <skiwithpete> I ran dmesg | tail again
[19:29] <skiwithpete> and it shows a very similar error...

[19:29] <ghufran> hi .. how do i mount a usb hard disk? it got disconnected and its not mouting automatically .. i know the mount command but i dont know the device path .. how can i find that?
[19:30] <duffydack> skiwithpete,  looks like the ports dont like it..  I see you have a usb2 and usb1 port
[19:30] <jef91> ghufran :   sudo fdisk -l
[19:30] <skiwithpete> ok, so what you're saying is, it could be the bios shutting down the usbs when booted under battery...
[19:30] <duffydack> skiwithpete, is this an old pc?
[19:30] <skiwithpete> because there is no Linux explanation for this
[19:30] <jef91> lungan - is it ext3 or 4? Do you know how to add a line to fstab?
[19:30] <skiwithpete> brand spanking (Jan15)
[19:30] <evantandersen_> Mrokii: did it work? did you fix your TTY problem?
[19:30] <lungan> jef91, ext4, nope I don't
[19:31] <duffydack> skiwithpete, running karmic ?
[19:31] <ivansmo> Anjuta is working :)   Now Im gonna see how it is actualy compiling programms
[19:31] <CorvetteZR1> hello.  i removed my logical partitions and wrote down all the start/end cylinders.  then i recreated them and made sure to use the same start/end cylinders as before.  now when i try to mount them i get an error saying that they are not valid ext3 partitions, even though i did set them to 83 in fdisk.  any thoughts?
[19:31] <faheem_> is their any program i can use for my iPhone :(
[19:31] <skiwithpete> 9.10 is karmic right?
[19:31] <tucemiux> Boeboe, i would go to launchpad and check if someone posted an issue with your specific card, if not then create a thread of your own and kindly ask the developers to write drivers for your card and that youll be willing to test the drivers
[19:31] <lungan> jef91, I also don't have the permissions to change anything on the hdd
[19:31] <Mrokii> evantandersen_:  nope, it garbled the keyboard again. I am currently trying to edit the boottime.kmap-file by hand.
[19:31] <ZykoticK9> CorvetteZR1, did you format the partitions after you created them?
[19:31] <jef91> lungan - make a mount point for the drive (sudo mkdir /mnt/<location>) then run:   sudo gedit /etc/fstab
[19:31] <skiwithpete> duffydack, 9.10 is karmic right?
[19:32] <duffydack> skiwithpete, yeah.  I dont know then.. can always test lucid alpha livecd.. see if its any better...least if it works you`ll know its a kernel or other thing...
[19:32] <plecebo> whats a good general chatting server
[19:32] <ZykoticK9> skiwithpete, yup karmic is 9.10
[19:32] <lungan> jef91, okok, now I'm in the fstab file
[19:32] <jef91> lungan - check messages

[19:32] <CorvetteZR1> ZykoticK9, no
[19:33] <evantandersen_> ivansmo: sudo command
[19:33] <ZykoticK9> CorvetteZR1, well that would be the problem then... no filesystem on those new partitions
[19:33] <inveratulo> ivansmo: http://xkcd.com/149/
[19:33] <yaaar> howdy
[19:33] <CorvetteZR1> ZykoticK9, if i format them, won't that overwrite wipe out the data that was there?
[19:34] <Pyker> Myrtti: you were right, it was a DNS problem. I changed the DNS server to Google's and it works. Thanks
[19:34] <asdff> My sound is no longer working. I followed this guide to try and fix it: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449. It was working a few hours ago.
[19:34] <ZykoticK9> CorvetteZR1, i'm sure you already lost everything when you repartitioned
[19:34] <Myrtti> Pyker: np
[19:34] <ivansmo> hehe
[19:34] <CorvetteZR1> ZykoticK9, no, you can remove and recreate partitions as long as the cylinder size stays exactly the same, i've done it before
[19:35] <ZykoticK9> CorvetteZR1, OK?  best of luck.  i can't help...

[19:44] <Timmarshall> im not sure
[19:44] <tucemiux> asdff, install "gnome-alsamixer" if you dont have it installed already, click on "External amplifier", you can also try alsamixer in the command terminal to raise the volume
[19:45] <BHoward> explain your problem a little more. Whats not working? the modem?
[19:45] <Timmarshall> i wont wireless internet talk talk says its not compatible with linux
[19:45] <BHoward> ok looking at the talktalk website I see its just wifi

[19:46] <Duskin> Does world of warcraft have a linux client?
[19:46] <BHoward> lol
[19:46] <jef91> duskin no it does not but it runs pretty flawlessy under wine
[19:46] <BHoward> nope you can run it through wine or cedega though
[19:46] <ZykoticK9> Duskin, WoW you mean?  No, but it runs under wine
[19:46] <Duskin> Or can it run in WINE at least
[19:46] <Duskin> Flawless in wine eh...
[19:46] <jef91> Duskin there are files of howtos out there.
[19:47] <Timmarshall> so if i put the disk in for wireless it should install wifi internet connection
[19:47] <BHoward> @timmarshal as long as your wirless card is working you will be able to connect to a wifi router
[19:47] <ZykoticK9> Duskin, not flawless, and ONLY GL - graphics no where as good as in Windows i'm affraid
[19:47] <Timmarshall> i mean on my desktop
[19:47] <BHoward> I would use the disk because it wont have the drivers for linux on it
[19:47] <jef91> Duskin ZykoticK9 - thats true for most any game under Wine
[19:48] <jef91> BHoward what kind of wifi card?
[19:48] <Duskin> Any idea if WINE will run on powerpc architecture?
[19:48] <BHoward> not me.. its for timmarshal
[19:48] <ZykoticK9> Duskin, highly doubt it
[19:48] <asdff> tucemiux: back, apologies.
[19:48] <BHoward> tim, do you already have your wifi card in your computer?
[19:48] <jef91> Duskin No - will not

[19:49] <BHoward> go ahead and do it. Dont listen to talktalk because most wifi cards are supported

[19:54] <Timmarshall> installing wifi
[19:54] <fuzzybear> hi. everytime i update my kernel, it updates my menu.lst wrongly... It puts my startup partition to (3,2) and it should be (0,2). Right now: i adjust it manually when i boot ubuntu and then change menu.lst manually... is there a way to "tell" ubuntu that it should use (0,2) instead of (3,2) ?
[19:54] <jef91> timmarshall what wifi card?
[19:54] <bullgard> Why does Ubuntu install on every system by default a user account 'postfix'?
[19:54] <Timmarshall> i dont know
[19:54] <BHoward> when you get your card just install it and then check your connection manager to see if its detected and installed
[19:54] <pjjkziq> is the wifi card pcmcia, pci, usb...?
[19:54] <tucemiux> fuzzybear, are you using karmic???
[19:55] <BHoward> if its not there then we can go a little further on the help
[19:55] <fuzzybear> yes tucemiux, but the problem was there in former versions as well
[19:55] <BHoward> until you get your card its hard to help you
[19:55] <otswim> hello, does someone know an app to retrieve a pdf from google books?
[19:55] <Timmarshall> it says wifi is enablled
[19:55] <BHoward> so you do already have a card?
[19:55] <tucemiux> fuzzybear, karmic does not use "menu.lst"
[19:55] <Pici> bullgard: It only adds that user on servers that have postfix installed.
[19:55] <Timmarshall> i dont no ive never checked
[19:56] <prodigel> hi all. Anyone familiar with ZTE mf110? I'm trying to install this device on my 64bit ubuntu 9.10. Drivers that come with the device don't work, also I can't get the system recognize it properly - it's still seen as a storage device.
[19:56] <BHoward> ok goto your terminal and type iwconfig
[19:56] <ZykoticK9> tucemiux, careful!  it does if you upgraded instead of fresh installing -- only fresh installs got Grub2
[19:56] <asdff> tucemiux: I am very sorry for wasting your time lol. A restart indeed fixed the problem. I think that guide may have helped (it was basically a reinstallation of many things).
[19:56] <kula_> hi ppl
[19:56] <fuzzybear> tucemiux: it does use that on my box, probably because i upgraded instead of new installation
[19:56] <BHoward> are there any interfaces listed?
[19:56] <Trek> !hi | kula_
[19:56] <Dravekx> I have 2 drives. 1 i use for a web server and the other I want to use for a file server. what software would be good to setup a file server??
[19:56] <Pici> !postfix | bullgard
[19:56] <tucemiux> ZykoticK9, thanks for the information, I never upgrade, I always install from the ISO
[19:56] <kula_> anyone knows why there is no snownews in repo?
[19:56] <jef91> Dravekx - just use samba
[19:57] <Timmarshall> no wireless extensions??
[19:57] <kula_> i mean repo for karmic
[19:57] <BHoward> ok now do lspci
[19:57] <fuzzybear> well tucemiux, i've been meaning to do a fresh install but i just don't find the time and waiting for a NAS purchase to temporarily backup my files
[19:57] <BHoward> and post the output to a pastebin
[19:58] <tucemiux> fuzzybear, youre right, menu.lst is there because you're still using legacy grub, #grub support channel doesnt even support #grub, you can try asking at another time and hopefully someome that still uses legacy grub can help you, or try the forums
[19:58] <BHoward> ubuntu.pastebin.com
[19:58] <fuzzybear> i don't really see why #grub wouldn't support that kind of grub anymore?
[19:58] <jef91> fuzzybear - kernel updates don't happen often, why even worry about it?
[19:58] <fuzzybear> i think a lot of people still use it
[19:59] <fuzzybear> as i said: i just change menu.lst and it's fine, but it just annoys me
[20:00] <switchgirl1> umm evolution sent lots of emails from years ago
[20:00] <Timmarshall> how do i find out ive got a wifi card
[20:00] <fuzzybear> i will try #grub if they can't help, i'll just leave it then.. thx anyways
[20:00] <Trek> Timmarshall, lspci or lsusb
[20:00] <Trek> Timmarshall, lspci if a PCI wifi card
[20:00] <jazz_> is anyone having the problem with the volume lowering and muting? specifically, not no sound from speakers or any of the previous bugs?!
[20:00] <Trek> Timmarshall, lsusb if USB
[20:00] <bullgard> Pici: "It only adds that user on servers that have postfix installed." <- Not only that. Ubuntu Karmic installs by default the DEB program package 'postfix' on every desktop install. Why do I need it? I don't think that I need it at all.
[20:00] <pjjkziq> type 'lspci' into the console, then use ubuntu.pastebin.com to post your results
[20:00] <Myrtti> !who
[20:00] <BHoward> @timmarshal type lspci in your terminal and post the output to ubuntu.pastebin.com
[20:01] <angasule> !grub
[20:01] <Timmarshall> what do i look for then??
[20:01] <Johnny_Smith_14> bonsoir j'ai un soucis j'ai deux PC UBUNTU j'aimerais partager mon imprimante reliée à l'un des deux PC via wifi et je n'y arrive pas j'ai parcouru tous les sites et forum et rien ne va quelqu'un peut m'aider ? merci
[20:01] <Myrtti> !fr | Johnny_Smith_14
[20:01] <BHoward> dont use lusb because if it was a usb wifi card then you would know that you have it
[20:01] <Johnny_Smith_14> #ubuntu-fr
[20:01] <Myrtti> Johnny_Smith_14: Ecrire /join #ubuntu-fr
[20:01] <jazz_> i reinstalled ubuntu 9.10 and volume became screwed up!
[20:01] <Timmarshall> what do i look for on lspci????
[20:02] <ZykoticK9> Timmarshall, perhaps this is easier "lspci | grep -i network"
[20:02] <tucemiux> otswim, can you download books for free?
[20:02] <pjjkziq> Timmarshall, if you post it we can help. but anything that suggests a wireless card, like Realtek or other drivers (it's easier to post)
[20:02] <Myrtti> !paste | Timmarshall
[20:02] <Timmarshall> id rather keep this information to myself for security reasons
[20:03] <BHoward> lol.... there is nothing there
[20:03] <Timmarshall> but i dont no that
[20:03] <Pici> bullgard: It shouldn't.  I don't have postfix installed on my own regular desktop computer that I have access to.
[20:03] <BHoward> ok if you cant do that then i cant help.
[20:03] <Timmarshall> for all i now this information could be used to spy on my actions
[20:04] <BHoward> its just hardware info. its not an ip, no exploits, nothing of importance
[20:04] <bullgard> Pici: Ah! Thank you for your observation. So it is prbably linked to Evolution or Thunderbird.
[20:04] <ZykoticK9> bullgard, i certainly don't have postfix on my desktop (but it's 10.04a2)
[20:04] <pjjkziq> Timmarshall, look up 'lspci' online if you want to know what type of information it contains (reliable third party)
[20:04] <Timmarshall> just tell me what to look for
[20:04] <ZykoticK9> bullgard, i have both evolution & thunderbird installed - but no postfix
[20:04] <BHoward> do you have a laptop or desktop tim?
[20:05] <otswim> tucemiux: some books on google are available in 'full preview', i was wondering if there were an (k)ubuntu app to get it
[20:05] <pjjkziq> TImmarshall, do you have a line that contains 802.11 in the text?
[20:05] <bullgard> ZykoticK9: Thank you for your observation.  --  And does your /etc/passwd include a 'postfix' entry?
[20:05] <Timmarshall> i have a desktop
[20:05] <ZykoticK9> Timmarshall, perhaps this is easier "lspci | grep -i network"
[20:05] <pjjkziq> like 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8180L 802.11b MAC (rev 20)
[20:06] <ZykoticK9> bullgard, nope
[20:06] <pjjkziq> (that is my lspci line for my wireless card)
[20:06] <tucemiux> otswim, can you download the books?  if they're in PDF format you should still see them even if they're attached in a browser
[20:06] <trism> otswim: you can just click the download link in the corner and choose either epub or pdf
[20:06] <pjjkziq> TImmarshall, my desktop has one that says something like "Atheros communications"
[20:07] <BHoward> tim unless you installed a card already in your desktop. chances are it didnt come with one
[20:07] <naruivan0> ola
[20:07] <naruivan0> de ke kolegio sois
[20:07] <bullgard> ZykoticK9: Thank you. Now I have the problem to find out why it is installed on two of my Thinkpad Karmic computers.
[20:07] <Timmarshall> great
[20:07] <BHoward> sometimes they do. but not always
[20:07] <Timmarshall> so its a waste of time then
[20:07] <rww> Plenty of desktops have wifi cards, and some of them are internally USB connected. Mine is.
[20:07] <naruivan0> oooollllaaaa
[20:07] <naruivan0> hello
[20:08] <smacnay> does ubuntu have some sort of firewall started by default?
[20:08] <Timmarshall> whats the usb one agin in terminal
[20:08] <pjjkziq> many newer ones have them
[20:08] <ZykoticK9> smacnay, not be default
[20:08] <naruivan0> i am ivan
[20:08] <pjjkziq> lsusb (but that probably won't help)
[20:08] <BHoward> thats true rww. however if you get one and are able to handle installing ubuntu on it yet not know if you have wifi then you probably dont have it
[20:08] <naruivan0> i is in espain
[20:08] <rww> ubottu: es | naruivan0
[20:08] <bullgard> smacnay: No. It is safe by design under normal circumstances.
[20:08] <smacnay> ZykoticK9, ok, thanks - I have a server in the basement running ubuntu and cannot access it via rdp.
[20:08] <otswim> tucemiux: trism: there is no download button for books that are not in full preview
[20:09] <smacnay> I have xrdp up and running and the local switch allows all traffic between lan comps.
[20:09] <smacnay> not sure why it doesn't work.
[20:09] <BHoward> without posting your lspci and lsusb tim then we can give you a definite answer
[20:09] <BHoward> cant*
[20:09] <Timmarshall> whats linux foundation 2.o root hub??
[20:09] <mido_> how to  convert *.ogv to avi but in high quality ?
[20:09] <coolcat> how do I make an autotools-package use icc compiler(that is in my path) instead of gcc?
[20:09] <trism> otswim: yes, this is correct, because you aren't supposed to download them
[20:09] <erUSUL> Timmarshall: the usb controller
[20:10] <ZykoticK9> mido_, you can't upgrade quality in a conversion -- but check out avidemux if you want a gui app
[20:10] <erUSUL> coolcat: probably calling it with CC=icc
[20:10] <Timmarshall> im going do do this the easy wayy
[20:10] <otswim> trism: it's not to download the full book, just the part that is available
[20:10] <Timmarshall> get a wifi searcher of software centre
[20:10] <Z_God> somehow "apt-get source" is broken here, am I the only one with this problem?
[20:10] <Z_God> and idea on how to fix it?
[20:10] <rww> Z_God: Do you have deb-src lines in /etc/apt/sources.list?
[20:10] <Myrtti> Timmarshall: is there a picture of two computers on the top right corner of your screen?
[20:10] <BHoward> the easy way would be to have one of us look at your lspci and lsusb output....
[20:11] <deacon> what kind of printer can i buy to run on linux?
[20:11] <coolcat> erUSUL, You mean export CC and run configure?
[20:11] <Z_God> rww: yes, it can download everything properly
[20:11] <mido_> ZykoticK9, i used ffmpeg to convert that .. but the converted file was poor quality
[20:11] <Z_God> rww: but after extracting, a chmod fails
[20:11] <BHoward> it may be possible you do have a wifi card but no driver installed
[20:11] <Illuminatus> hi
[20:11] <blakkheim> mido_: sounds like you need to man ffmpeg
[20:11] <Illuminatus> I have a question, if I try to mount a nfs dir with an uid that doesn't exist in the server and I'm not using all_squash, could I mount it ?
[20:11] <Timmarshall> no just my ethanet connection
[20:11] <ZykoticK9> mido_, ffmpeg is very good - there are lots of settings, try adjusting the quality somehow
[20:11] <erUSUL> coolcat: CC=icc ./configure should do or maybe the configure script has an option for that
[20:11] <Myrtti> Timmarshall: ok, click the ethernet connection button
[20:11] <erUSUL> coolcat: see configure --help
[20:11] <mido_> blakkheim, I did this
[20:12] <Timmarshall> yesss
[20:12] <Myrtti> Timmarshall: can you see any wireless networks in there when you do that?
[20:12] <mido_> ok ZykoticK9
[20:12] <Timmarshall> yeah it says disconnected
[20:12] <Timmarshall> with wireless bt hub
[20:12] <Timmarshall> locked
[20:12] <Z_God> rww: http://pastebin.com/f1f6ee5ba
[20:12] <Myrtti> Timmarshall: disconnect or disconnected?
[20:12] <Timmarshall> and o2 wireless
[20:12] <_gtt_> can someone tell me the significant differences between lshw lspci lsusb ?
[20:13] <BHoward> @Timmarshall it is still possible you have a wifi card installed but its not configured. without seeing your lspci or lsusb we wont know what kind of hardware you have and what type of driver you need
[20:13] <Illuminatus> I have a question, if I try to mount a nfs dir with an uid that doesn't exist in the server and I'm not using all_squash, could I mount it ?
[20:13] <Timmarshall> disconnected
[20:13] <rww> _gtt_: lspci shows PCI devices, lsusb shows USB devices, lshw shows ridiculous amounts of detail about everything
[20:13] <Myrtti> Timmarshall: and what happens if you choose the wireless bt hub, for instance?
[20:13] <BHoward> lspci lists pci hardware and lsusb lists usb devices
[20:13] <Timmarshall> the authentication comes up
[20:14] <BHoward> lshw hurts my brain
[20:14] <erUSUL> _gtt_: lspci list pci connected devices lsusb displayes all usb conected devices. lshw uses /sys/  to report all connected devices the kernel know about
[20:14] <rww> Z_God: Weird. Does it only happen with that package?
[20:14] <Myrtti> Timmarshall: so your wifi works on your computer.
[20:14] <Z_God> rww: nope with all of them
[20:14] <Timmarshall> but i havnt got a wifi router though im getting it soon
[20:14] <Z_God> here is the english version: http://pastebin.com/f51326690
[20:15] <BHoward> would a BT hub be bluetooth?
[20:15] <Timmarshall> im on broadband at the moment
[20:15] <erUSUL> BHoward: probably
[20:15] <Myrtti> Timmarshall: so what was your problem then?
[20:15] <Aijse> deacon, hp printers are prety well supported
[20:15] <rww> Z_God: The actual error there is: "chmod: cannot read directory `/home/julius/1down/libxml/libmad_0.15.1b.orig.tar.gz.tmp-extract.CQk0S/libmad-0.15.1b': Permission denied"
[20:15] <toastedmilk> So, I have some linux images on a partition of my hard drive but grub won't read them, what should I do?
[20:16] <toastedmilk> rww: sudo?
[20:16] <Z_God> rww: yeah it indeed doesn't exist
[20:16] <Timmarshall> how do i configure the wifi when it comes
[20:16] <rww> toastedmilk: you shouldn't need it for apt-get source
[20:16] <deacon> Aijse thanks
[20:16] <Z_God> rww: with other packages I get a similar error
[20:16] <Myrtti> Timmarshall: it probably will be configured through your browser
[20:16] <Z_God> rww: I already tried purging dpkg-dev & devscripts
[20:16] <BHoward> seems like you have bluetooth and no wifi. best thing to do is just wait till you get your router and see if it works. If not you will need to give somebody enough information to help you or do some searching on ubuntu forums
[20:16] <Aijse> deacon, google for hplip
[20:17] <rww> Z_God: Do you have write access to the directory you're running apt-get source from? You could test that by running "touch testfile" from the same directory.
[20:17] <brontosaurusrex> any clues why usb drive formated on ubuntu as fat32 would not be readable with snow leopard?
[20:17] <Z_God> rww: sure the other files are put in there without problems
[20:17] <blakkheim> brontosaurusrex: this isn't a snow leopard  support channel
[20:17] <Myrtti> Timmarshall: if the talktalk sales people have told you that the wifi will not work with your ubuntu, they must have understood something wrong.
[20:17] <Darkben> this is not a snow leopard channel
[20:18] <brontosaurusrex> any clues why usb drive formated on ubuntu as fat32 would not be readable with some other unnamed os?
[20:18] <toastedmilk> blakkheim: hey, do you remember trying to help me getting the latest version of my linux image to run?
[20:18] <blakkheim> !repeat | brontosaurusrex
[20:18] <Timmarshall> they are pakistanies though
[20:18] <blakkheim> toastedmilk: no
[20:18] <Myrtti> Timmarshall: irrelevant
[20:18] <Vhozard> Why does the ATI drivers suck?
[20:19] <Timmarshall> i wouldnt expect them to know about computers
[20:19] <blakkheim> Vhozard: because ati is the enemy of your freedom
[20:19] <toastedmilk> Vhozard: because ati sucks.
[20:19] <BHoward> lol cause ATI hates linux
[20:19] <Pici> Timmarshall: Please be nice, this is an International channel.
[20:19] <Timmarshall> my ati cpu works with ubuntu fine
[20:19] <blakkheim> Timmarshall: ati doesn't make cpus
[20:19] <Aijse> because ati dont want to give the specs from there cards
[20:19] <rww> Z_God: alright, I'm out of ideas. Sorry :(
[20:19] <toastedmilk> Timmarshall: yeah..
[20:20] <Timmarshall> i am not being rascist or discriminative i am sorry if i offended anyone
[20:20] <toastedmilk> blakkheim: do you know how to get grub to read an image file it doesn't have on the boot loader from a different partition?
[20:20] <Z_God> rww: I also really have no clue what could be going on :)
[20:20] <Zer7> What dependencies do I need to put in Upstart for /sys/class/hwmon to be available?
[20:20] <Timmarshall> my apologises
[20:20] <Zer7> That is to say, what provides it?
[20:20] <Vhozard> blakkheim toastedmilk No, ATI doesnt suck. No ATI isnt the enemy of my freedom. Yes, Linux is not important enough :/
[20:20] <blakkheim> Vhozard: those are opinions, obviously they could be debated
[20:20] <toastedmilk> Vhozard: ATI cards just don't work well with linux.  I have one, it took me FOREVER to get direct rendering
[20:20] <rww> Vhozard: I have an ATI Radeon HD 3450. It works fine with xserver-xorg-video-radeon. It has basic 3D compositing support in Lucid. I am happy with it. If you're not happy with it, please use whatever works for you instead of doing offtopic bashing in #ubuntu.
[20:20] <toastedmilk> Vhozard: and certainly not with my legacy card
[20:20] <Timmarshall> my ati worked fine though
[20:21] <toastedmilk> rww: isn't the radeonhd open source driver experimental?
[20:21] <BHoward> I have never had any luck with ati.. at least not newer cards
[20:21] <Vhozard> rww Well, I actually wanted to know how fast the open drivers are progressing...
[20:21] <mguy> Mine works fine out of the box with Ubuntu 9.10, ATI 4850?
[20:21] <Aijse> I believe their fglrx driver works allright with new cards
[20:21] <alejandro> ola
[20:21] <toastedmilk> Aijse: true
[20:22] <CyL> Is there any fancy app for ubuntu that would allow me to do dual head withou all the xrandr and xorg.conf hassle?
[20:22] <sponzor> the ubuntu uses apache.conf and no httpd.conf?
[20:22] <rww> Vhozard: Ah, okay. Surprisingly fast. As I said, I have basic 3D support now. I got awesome 2D support and video a release or two ago.
[20:22] <toastedmilk> BHoward: fglrx should work fine
[20:22] <ZykoticK9> CyL, if you have Nvidia - yes, nvidia-settings
[20:22] <svenbuntu> does anyone know where xchat keeps logs?
[20:22] <Vhozard> rww Including vsync on metacity?
[20:22] <CyL> ZykoticK9: intel?
[20:22] <alejandro> no ablo ingles si no español
[20:22] <rww> ubottu: es | alejandro
[20:22] <ZykoticK9> CyL, then i doubt it
[20:22] <toastedmilk> alejandro: ubuntu-es
[20:22] <BHoward> I teach a Linux class here and we have install parties every month. The only problem I really ever have hardware wise are peoples printers. No problems with graphics cards generally
[20:23] <rww> Vhozard: I'm not sure of the terminology, but I've never seen any screen tearing with metacity, so if that's what you mean, then yes.
[20:23] <toastedmilk> BHoward: you've lucked out thus far haha
[20:23] <rww> Vhozard: Some people would recommend fglrx. I find that fglrx is actually worse at 2D stuff than radeon now :)
[20:23] <Aijse> Bhoward, try to include tvout and/or multiple heads, then problems will appear :P
[20:23] <BHoward> lol
[20:23] <toastedmilk> rww: If you have a legacy card, definitely use the radeon driver
[20:23] <BHoward> no
[20:24] <BHoward> :)
[20:24] <Vhozard> rww Yes, that´s what I mean. And I have a HD4850 and I can´t find ANY way to turn off the terrible tearing of metacity/compiz.
[20:24] <toastedmilk> Vhozard: which driver are you using?
[20:24] <rww> toastedmilk: I have an R6xx card, which isn't particularly legacy. It's still supported by fglrx, anyway.
[20:24] <toastedmilk> rww: yes, it's supported by fglrx.  but you said you were using the radeonhd driver?
[20:24] <alejandro> ketal
[20:24] <rww> toastedmilk: no, radeon
[20:25] <Vhozard> toastedmilk I´ve tried the default ubuntu open ati driver, but im now using fglrx
[20:25] <ultem> Hullo. Does someone still know how to sync a PalmPilot (good old 1997) via RS232 using gnome-pilot or pilot-xfer?
[20:25] <soreau> Vhozard: You are probably using the proprietary fglrx driver
[20:25] <Vhozard> soreau Yes, I know. :)
[20:25] <toastedmilk> Vhozard: Well, I don't have any knowledge of the fglrx driver
[20:25] <soreau> Vhozard: With the open driver, it is possible to have vsync with IRQ enabled in latest kernels
[20:26] <toastedmilk> Vhozard: but radeonhd is experimental for 3D
[20:26] <toastedmilk> soreau: right?
[20:26] <soreau> radeonhd is not recommended
[20:26] <Vhozard> soreau With latest you mean 2.6.33.xx ?
[20:26] <toastedmilk> So, I have some linux images on a partition of my hard drive but grub won't read them, what should I do?
[20:26] <soreau> Instead, you want the radeon driver
[20:26] <soreau> even for HD cards
[20:26] <toastedmilk> soreau: wouldn't he want radeonhd?
[20:26] <rww> toastedmilk: so is radeon. They're using highly similar 3D code, from what I hear.
[20:26] <soreau> toastedmilk: no
[20:26] <rww> toastedmilk: no, radeon works fine with Radeon HD cards.
[20:26] <toastedmilk> rww: no shit!  that's pretty sweet.
[20:27] <soreau> It is not similar code
[20:27] <Vhozard> No, I know I don´t want radeonhd. radeon is just fine.
[20:27] <rww> toastedmilk: watch your language. and yes, it is :)
[20:27] <soreau> radeonhd cannot work with kms, thus no dri2
[20:27] <toastedmilk> Vhozard: well, at least until a fully functional radeonhd driver is released
[20:27] <toastedmilk> rww: :P
[20:27] <soreau> toastedmilk: radeonhd is dying
[20:27] <soreau> the open radeon driver is where all of the cool things are happening
[20:27] <`mOOse`> gerry__,  - I love this gThumb - thanks again for the suggestion
[20:27] <Vhozard> soreau You said something about full VSYNC support (2D) ?
[20:28] <toastedmilk> soreau: so is the community going to just leave the hd cards to fglrx, or implement them in the radeon driver?
[20:28] <`mOOse`> it's exactly what I was looking for
[20:28] <toastedmilk> Vhozard: yes, with the open-source driver
[20:28] <BHoward> does anybody know what type of wireless cards are used in alienware?
[20:28] <soreau> Vhozard: With latest kernels, there is now IRQ support which allows for vsync
[20:28] <gerry__> `mOOse`: glad it solves your issue :)
[20:28] <BHoward> cant find a decent answer
[20:28] <rww> svenbuntu: .xchat2 in your home folder. You may need to show hidden files (Ctrl-H, I think) to get it to show up.
[20:28] <toastedmilk> BHoward: isn't alienware kind of like newegg?
[20:28] <soreau> Vhozard: More info in #radeon if you want to know
[20:28] <guntbert> svenbuntu: .xchat2/xchatlogs
[20:29] <Vhozard> I´ll look there, thank you.
[20:29] <rww> guntbert: I see you use -meta also :)
[20:29] <toastedmilk> soreau: lol, radeon is usually dead
[20:29] <BHoward> not real sure, im thinking about buying the new netbook they are putting out but would like to do some reasearch on the wifi.
[20:29] <`mOOse`> (I just got out of work and on my xubuntu install now)
[20:29] <renfox> does anyone know how to change the default email app in the indicator applet?
[20:29] <toastedmilk> BHoward: umm..i think you can get whichever card you want
[20:29] <soreau> toastedmilk: You have it all backward. radeonhd is dying, radeon is very lively
[20:29] <Vhozard> #radeon --> 1 person in the room: ¨Vhozard¨ -.-
[20:29] <guntbert> rww: how in the world did you guess ? ;-)
[20:30] <toastedmilk> soreau: no, #radeon the channel
[20:30] <toastedmilk> soreau: so is the community going to just leave the hd cards to fglrx, or implement them in the radeon driver?
[20:30] <rww> Vhozard: You're doing something wrong, there are over 200 people in there :\
[20:30] <soreau> toastedmilk: You are very confused
[20:31] <ZykoticK9> How to get this channel offtopic for 5 minutes -- enter #ubuntu and ask why the ATI driver is so poor  ;)
[20:31] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[20:31] <toastedmilk> soreau: no, im just fairly uneducated
[20:31] <Vhozard> rww Ah, I see. I got the wrong server ;)
[20:31] <erUSUL> ActionParsnip: hi
[20:31] <soreau> toastedmilk: Fair enough
[20:31] <toastedmilk> soreau: you said the radeonhd driver was dying, correct?
[20:31] <ActionParsnip> who is Frigg who CTPs me when I join?
[20:32] <Myrtti> ActionParsnip: look at the cloak of it
[20:32] <rww> ActionParsnip: Freenode service bot
[20:32] <erUSUL> toastedmilk: radeonhd does not mean driver for hd cards
[20:32] <toastedmilk> erUSUL: what?
[20:32] <ActionParsnip> rww: cool, but why though?
[20:32] <lenswipe> guys root cant login to my server
[20:33] <lenswipe> anyone got any ideas?
[20:33] <erUSUL> toastedmilk: that plain radeaon already supports HDxxxx cards
[20:33] <ActionParsnip> rww: dont have a problem with it, just curious
[20:33] <rww> ActionParsnip: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#freenodeconnect
[20:33] <Myrtti> lenswipe: good. don't enable the account either
[20:33] <erUSUL> !root | lenswipe
[20:33] <toastedmilk> erUSUL: so...what is radeonhd?
[20:33] <rww> ActionParsnip: as the anchor suggests, it's the replacement for the Freenodeconnect bot
[20:33] <ActionParsnip> lenswipe: thats good, use a normal account and use sudo
[20:33] <erUSUL> toastedmilk: is a driver with a different architecture. somewhat an experiment (that failed)
[20:33] <soreau> toastedmilk: Yes, get more info in #radeon. The channel is not dead at all, if you idle there for any length of time. Also, it is officially logged, so you can read how much traffic is there each day
[20:33] <lenswipe> ActionParsnip, except root is enabled - root login has just recently stopped today
[20:34] <LuciusSir> has anyone else used vlc media player and have the audio cut out until you do a killall of vlc, randomly ?
[20:34] <toastedmilk> So, I have some linux images on a partition of my hard drive but grub won't read them, what should I do?
[20:34] <rww> toastedmilk: There are three xorg drivers for Radeon HD cards: radeon, radeonhd, and fglrx. The first two are open source. radeonhd was somewhat experimental, radeon is generally a better choice.
[20:34] <Myrtti> lenswipe: then you've voided your warranty - we can't support systems that have root account enabled.
[20:34] <erUSUL> lenswipe: we do not support that configuration here
[20:34] <Myrtti> lenswipe: it's not the ubuntu way.
[20:34] <toastedmilk> rww: yeah, I just got the whole gist of that xD
[20:34] <lenswipe> Myrtti, the hell are you on about? there is no warranty
[20:34] <Guest86649> anyone know a "scramdisk" type encryption prog for linex thanks
[20:34] <toastedmilk> rww, but thanks!
[20:34] <lenswipe> Myrtti, presumably the ubuntu way is to fanny around with sudo - yes?
[20:34] <Myrtti> lenswipe: yes.
[20:34] <toastedmilk> erUSUL, soreau, thanks to you guys too
[20:35] <erUSUL> Guest86649: what does "scramdisk" do ?
[20:35] <onaogh> lenswipe, this is your local server ?
[20:35] <LuciusSir> its quite anoying, i'll be halfway through watching a movie or less and suddenly the sound goes bye bye, for no apparent reason, but then if i kill the vlc process it will play again as soon as I open the media file again
[20:35] <ActionParsnip> lenswipe: the channel doesn't support using root or enabling root. its not needed
[20:35] <Myrtti> he's gone, guys
[20:35] <LuciusSir> enabling root isn't hard :P
[20:35] <ActionParsnip> luciussir: tried the vlc ppa version?
[20:35] <LuciusSir> ppa ?
[20:36] <erUSUL> LuciusSir: erasing all your files isnnot either
[20:36] <LuciusSir> i just used the one provided from the repo
[20:36] <toastedmilk> LuciusSir: Personal Package Archive
[20:36] <onaogh> what is MSDOS tree cmd equivalent in Linux
[20:36] <LuciusSir> toastedmilk:  whats the difference ?
[20:36] <erUSUL> onaogh: tree
[20:36] <erUSUL> you have to install it though
[20:36] <erUSUL> !info tree
[20:36] <LuciusSir> toastedmilk:  i simply did an apt-get install vlc
[20:36] <ActionParsnip> luciussir: theres a later build on a ppa. websearch it
[20:36] <joza> have any ubuntu studio?
[20:36] <LuciusSir> ActionParsnip:  what is ppa ?
[20:37] <toastedmilk> LuciusSir: well, ppa's have support for different problems.
[20:37] <erUSUL> !ppa > LuciusSir
[20:37] <ActionParsnip> !ppa | luciussir
[20:37] <LuciusSir> ohhhh its like the opensuse build service
[20:37] <temppu> problem: ubuntu 9.10 wireless connects, but does not let you outside of local network. Works with eth0. Any ideas?
[20:37] <titan_ark> ZykoticK9, well you could make it on-topic. facing trouble with power management
[20:37] <LuciusSir> do they test the packages once they're published the same way ?
[20:37] <ActionParsnip> luciussir: someone has compiled a newer vlc for all to use. try it
[20:37] <toastedmilk> temppu: what does dhclient say?
[20:38] <temppu> toastedmilk: not that good with this, what was that?-)
[20:38] <ActionParsnip> luciussir: the ppa maintainer will test although its not mandatory
[20:38] <ZykoticK9> !ask > titan_ark
[20:38] <toastedmilk> temppu: go to a terminal and type in 'sudo dhclient'
[20:38] <ActionParsnip> luciussir: the newer version may help
[20:38] <LuciusSir> ActionParsnip:  is there a special build tool for ubuntu or can i just download the vanilla source and compile it myself if i wanna ?
[20:39] <renfox> e connection]
[20:39] <renfox> 14:38 < temppu> toastedmilk: not that good with this, what was that?-)
[20:39] <toastedmilk> renfox: go to a terminal and type in 'sudo dhclient'
[20:39] <ActionParsnip> luciussir: you will add an extra repo and the app will auto update as the system will see a newer version available
[20:39] <toastedmilk> ...
[20:39] <toastedmilk> temppu: go to a terminal and type in 'sudo dhclient' and paste the output on pastebin
[20:39] <Diverdude> how can i see what version of valgrind resides in the ubuntu repos before i install it?
[20:39] <benkong2> what's wrong with this command?
[20:39] <benkong2> hello all
[20:39] <MTecknology> I need to move from a larger HD to a small one - I'd prefer make one exact copy with partitions proportionate to what they are now - any suggestions?
[20:40] <rww> ubottu: version | Diverdude
[20:40] <benkong2> update-alternatives --install tclsh wish /opt/path/to/Tcl/bin/wish8.5 5
[20:40] <LuciusSir> ActionParsnip:  ahhh i see just like opensuse then
[20:40] <ActionParsnip> diverdude: apt-cache policy packagename
[20:40] <LuciusSir> ActionParsnip:  is that the page which has the repo links ?
[20:40] <hagus> What causes a mouse to lose its selection or alternate very quickly from selected to unselected?  Would that be to do with Compiz or some such thing?
[20:40] <Myrtti> benkong2: what are you trying to do?
[20:40] <benkong2> error is update-alternatives: error: alternative link is not absolute as it should be:
[20:40] <ActionParsnip> luciussir: well both are linux ;)
[20:40] <ZykoticK9> Diverdude, apt-cache policy valgrind
[20:40] <brontosaurusrex> does karmic now has full support for ntfs?
[20:40] <benkong2> trying to add Activestate Tcl to alternatives
[20:40] <benkong2> Myrtti:
[20:40] <titan_ark> ZykoticK9, damn, got disconnected. i am facing trouble with power management. everytime notebook recovers from sleep it used to say no battery. this was on KDE,. now on gnome also it shows me no battery but my screen is very low contrast even though power is plugged in
[20:40] <ActionParsnip> luciussir: go to google. search for: vlc ppa
[20:41] <LuciusSir> ActionParsnip:  hehe i know i just thought that was avant guarde for opensuse i wasn't aware there was a similar thingy for ubuntu
[20:41] <hagus> How would one make a mouse behave properly?
[20:41] <ZykoticK9> titan_ark, sorry man I have NO idea, best of luck - hopefully someone else has something for you.
[20:41]  * hagus reckons that mouse-obedience classes are not the answer :)
[20:41] <ActionParsnip> luciussir: there are ppas for lots of stuff
[20:41] <ppaulhus> how can I find which process has open connections on a specific port? seems like a rogue process on a server of mine is causing mayhem on irc... i see some connections using netstat, but not sure how to find the process which is responsible
[20:42] <titan_ark> ZykoticK9, okay thanks. i see a bug fix that requires a kernel rebuild but i am not good enough for that
[20:42] <ActionParsnip> ppaulhus: netstat -a
[20:42] <ppaulhus> ActionParsnip: yeah, but I dont think this gives me the process
[20:42] <Diverdude> ActionParsnip, hmm okay...so just to be sure...when it writes: Candidate: 1:3.5.0-2ubuntu2, then its 3.5.0-2 and not <IP_ADDRESS>-2 or something like that right?
[20:42] <benkong2> Myrtti: I need tcl 8.5 for my tutorial I need libtcltk8.5 but ubuntu only gives me 8.4
[20:43] <ActionParsnip> ppaulhus: it will tell you the name and you can then grep the output of: ps -ef to find what the pid is
[20:43] <hagus> Maybe I am getting slow in my old age - maybe I cannot respond fast enough for my mouse ?
[20:43] <erUSUL> ppaulhus: sudo lsof -i :portnumber
[20:43] <ActionParsnip> benkong2: search the ppas
[20:43] <benkong2> ActionParsnip: hmmm ok
[20:44] <temppu> toastedmilk: connection cut after dhclient command, and then minute later whole ubuntu crashed
[20:44] <erUSUL> !info tcl8.5 | benkong2
[20:44] <Myrtti> benkong2: which version of ubuntu are you running? karmic?
[20:44] <xenocampanoli> My vpn service is not connecting with Ubuntu 9.10, and other co-workers using other Ubuntus connect fine.
[20:44] <benkong2> Myrtti: yes karmic
[20:44] <toastedmilk> temppu: ...that's bad.
[20:44] <benkong2> but it makes 8.4 default
[20:45] <xenocampanoli> I worked with a person whose is working, and he sees no difference.
[20:45] <toastedmilk> temppu: try running that command from a virtual console and pastebinit
[20:45] <blas> hola
[20:45] <benkong2> I can install the 8.5 files but
[20:45] <temppu> toastedmilk: what should I look in in dhclient?
[20:45] <erUSUL> benkong2: sudo update-alternatives --config tcl
[20:45] <LuciusSir> raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwrrrr wheres the damn repo link LOL
[20:45] <allexxx> #ubuntu.gr
[20:45] <xenocampanoli> We did have to downgrade from strongswan, but other than that, we did little to change things.  Our system requires a group password, and uses a pcf.
[20:45] <benkong2> erUSUL: I am trying to add a location
[20:45] <toastedmilk> temppu: dhclient tries to find a working connection for all networking ports
[20:45] <benkong2> erUSUL: will that work?
[20:45] <hagus> My mouse loses focus when I try to highlight from one end of a line of text to the other.  By the time I reach the far end, the highlight has lift from the other end :(
[20:45] <toastedmilk> temppu: why it crashed your system is beyond me
[20:45] <steve_> dont suppose anyone here is useing a nvidia mx440
[20:46] <ActionParsnip> luciussir: in karmic it will be: sudo add-apt-repository ppa;//something
[20:46] <erUSUL> benkong2: sorry is --> sudo update-alternatives --config tclsh
[20:46] <xenocampanoli> I also tried putting all these in combination in the /etc/vpnc directory, and it fails there.
[20:46] <ppaulhus> ActionParsnip: so if the output of netstat gives me this, what do i do with lsof: tcp        0      0 <IP_ADDRESS>:60877    <IP_ADDRESS>:6667       TIME_WAIT
[20:46] <LuciusSir> steve: i had a problem with my nvidia 5200 fx
[20:46] <temppu> toastedmilk: I'll try again, lets see what happens
[20:46]  * hagus wonders if mouse problems have been reported in connection with 9.10?
[20:46] <xenocampanoli> Is there a better group for vpn stuff on Ubuntu?
[20:46] <steve_> how did you fix it was it resolution problem ?
[20:46] <LuciusSir> LuciusSir:  to make the driver from the nvidia site work i had to uninstall all nvidia shtuff hosted on the ubuntu repo
[20:46] <LuciusSir> LuciusSir:  and then install the driver
[20:46] <LuciusSir> oops
[20:47] <benkong2> erUSUL: that works but I need to add my /opt/ActivestateTcl-8.5/bin
[20:47] <LuciusSir> that was directed at you steve
[20:47] <trism> benkong2: if you're curious, the error from the command you gave above is that tclsh must be an absolute path, such as /usr/bin/tclsh
[20:47] <benkong2> to the list ^^
[20:47] <joza> hi, have any ardour gtk2?
[20:47] <erUSUL> benkong2: why you insist in using Activestate tcl ???
[20:47] <benkong2> trism: so can I make a link to mine in /usr/bin
[20:48] <LuciusSir> steve_: also inputting your monitor specs into the xorg.conf file manually was necessary to get it to switch to a mode above fricking 640x480
[20:48] <steve_> LuciusSir, i have done that and still its the same
[20:48] <toastedmilk> temppu: try it in a virtual console!
[20:48] <LuciusSir> steve_:  did you include a mode list ?
[20:48] <benkong2> erUSUL: later version and and Activestate recommends it for my tutor
[20:48] <maria> hola
[20:48] <steve_> do you want me to past for you ?
[20:48] <Bennage> evening,
[20:48] <erUSUL> !es | maria
[20:49] <LuciusSir> steve_: i'll dcc you my xorg.conf file if you want an example
[20:49] <jon23d> Hello, I'm trying to get the updated GD library working on an ubuntu server, but am having issues.  I am following the instructions here: http://www.howtoforge.com/recompiling-php5-with-bundled-support-for-gd-on-ubuntu , but after running dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot I get: dpkg-buildpackage: failure: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2
[20:49] <Bennage> i'm still struggling to get a USB boot working on my netbook
[20:49] <LuciusSir> steve_: beyond that my success required hours of pulling my hair out not knowing what to do LOL
[20:49] <Temppu1> toastedmilk: ok, if I run dhclient it will cut the connection
[20:49] <Bennage> I'm having to install onto USB on a Mac, then use it on the netbook
[20:50] <Temppu1> toastedmilk: which was eth0 (and wireless)
[20:50] <Bennage> but it's not booting from the USB stick at all.
[20:50] <steve_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/372019/
[20:50] <toastedmilk> Temppuu1: try 'sudo dhclient auto wlan0', or whatever your wireless port is named
[20:50] <steve_> please share im in day 5 and i have not been sleeping
[20:50] <ppl8x> ger or en?
[20:51] <LuciusSir> steve_: have you tried stopping the kdm or gdm service and starting the x-server manually while piping its output to a file for later viewing ?
[20:51] <Bennage> can anyone tell me how to make the USB bootable?
[20:51] <LuciusSir> steve_: thats what told me what was wrong with mine
[20:51] <`mOOse`> I have a usb install of xubuntu and suse...
[20:51] <Bennage> i've tried holding down Alt when starting up the Mac, and it doesn't show up there either
[20:51] <doobeh> Is it possible to get rsync to build, and sync from a file-list?  E.g. if I have locations A and B, where both are large stores, but only a small storage C to move the data between the two, can I get rsync to build a list from A, then use B to diff against the list and put the files required for sync on C?
[20:51] <ppl8x> in ned help with develspie, do sb know this aplication????
[20:51] <`mOOse`> trick is to remove the hd from the computer before you begin
[20:51] <steve_> yes i tried but im a novice and dont relly know whats going on
[20:52] <Bennage> hmmm
[20:52] <steve_> i got enuff skills to do most things
[20:52] <LuciusSir> steve_: pastebin the log for me
[20:52] <steve_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/372019/
[20:52] <Bennage> i've got the ISO, and converted it to .dmg as it says in the tutorial
[20:52] <Temppu1> toastedmilk: can attach to paste.ubuntu, because I'm computer is not connected to network. But relovconf error...
[20:52] <sandman> Can someone get my microphone working? It works upon boot. But then later fails to work.
[20:52] <LuciusSir> steve_: your screen section isn't referencing your driver or monitor...
[20:53] <sandman> It's reproducible, also.
[20:53] <`mOOse`> Bennage,  these are true installs - not caspers or casper-rw's
[20:53] <guntbert> ppl8x: there is #ubuntu-de too (if you are more comfortable with german)
[20:53] <steve_> how do i make the change ?
[20:53] <`mOOse`> they act look and behave exactly like a hd install
[20:53] <toastedmilk> Temppu1: okay.. first, try 'sudo dhclient auto eth0'
[20:53] <Bennage> `mOOse`: ?
[20:53] <`mOOse`> except they're on a 4 gig usb
[20:53] <toastedmilk> Temmpu1: if it works, do 'sudo apt-get install pastebinit'
[20:53] <toastedmilk> Temmpu1: then 'pastebinit dhclient'
[20:53] <skyl> I have installed postgres but this time I have no /etc/postgresql/8.4/.... directory or files
[20:54] <`mOOse`> Bennage,  I don't know what tutorial you're looking at - url?
[20:54] <sandman> Help me get it working, rather. I've looked through PulseAudio, all my system logs, configurations. I've played with /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf to no avail, so I reverted back to defaults...
[20:54] <skyl> /etc/postgresql-common/ is the only thing that is there
[20:54] <Bennage> ...
[20:54] <ppl8x> guntbert:  i try to learn english prof. :)
[20:54] <LuciusSir> steve_: one sec i'll pastebin my config file
[20:54] <Bennage> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[20:54] <sandman> I also tried changing the ports (front ports versus back), no go. However, sound works perfectly in Windows.
[20:54]  * steve_ bows for LuciusSir
[20:55] <`mOOse`> you want to install from a usb or RUN ubuntu from a usb?
[20:55] <sandman> So anyway, I am unable to use any VoIP networks, Skype or what-have-you, because the mic just dies after about 5 minutes on the system.
[20:55] <Bennage> no
[20:55] <sandman> Works for a bit, then dies.
[20:55] <Temppu1> toastedmilk: cant do that, its not connected to network. I changed computers after it crashed every time
[20:55] <Jooder492> why does my sound no longer work for youtube or any web sound?  only works for my music player and chat
[20:55] <`mOOse`> no what?
[20:55] <Bennage> install from USB and run on the local HD
[20:55] <skyl> I have no /etc/postgresql/8.4/main :'(
[20:55] <Ferrenrock> ok, does anyone know of a firewall program for linux that lets you throttle client connections live...i.e. you don't need to restart the settings, like IP tables?
[20:55] <guntbert> ppl8x: good - but I have to admint that your question was not clear to me - try to write whole words and sentences
[20:55] <`mOOse`> ahk...
[20:55] <guntbert> *admit
[20:56] <sandman> I am also getting a bunch of these: pulseaudio[1354]: ratelimit.c: 1 events suppressed
[20:56] <toastedmilk> Temmpu1: you tried 'sudo dhclient auto eth0' from a virtual console?
[20:56] <LuciusSir> steve_: http://www.pastebin.org/88443
[20:56] <LuciusSir> steve_: hope that helps
[20:56] <sandman> Ferrenrock: Are you just concerned that one app will consume all the bandwidth?
[20:56] <steve_> thanks mate i will have a look and let you know
[20:56] <`mOOse`> Bennage,  and you don't have a windows pc available?
[20:56] <LuciusSir> steve_:  if it doesn't try also doing a startx &>mylog.txt and viewing what the server spits out
[20:56] <LuciusSir> steve_: might give ya some clues
[20:56] <LuciusSir> brb all
[20:57] <Ferrenrock> sandman: no, I'm concerned about that, torrent connections, etc
[20:57] <Temppu1> toastedmilk: running it straight from terminal
[20:57] <Bennage> `mOOse`: I only have parallels on this mac...
[20:57] <sandman> Have you looked at Wondershaper?
[20:57] <Ferrenrock> sandman: I'm thinking something that can do what htop does and show me all connections but also let me drop or throttle them
[20:57] <steve_> i think i might have been playing wiht the wrong xconfig file
[20:57] <kad__> hey need to ask! i have ubuntu 9.10 where is xorg.conf ? before versions there were xorg.conf!
[20:57] <toastedmilk> Temmpu1: try hitting ctrl+alt+F1, then running the file
[20:57] <toastedmilk> kad__: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[20:57] <Ferrenrock> because my college gives me infinite bandwidth but drops my connection for hours on end if I take too much at once
[20:58] <Ferrenrock> sandman: no, what is that?
[20:58] <Bennage> and XP on the netbook, but the USB-creator doesn't work on parallels, and the XP on the netbook isn't accesible
[20:58] <toastedmilk> kad__: although 9.10 might not have it
[20:58] <nozes> hi
[20:58] <sandman> Basically, do a bandwidth test. Determine your max bandwidth. Take downstream/upstream down by 10%, and run wondershaper eth0 downstream upstream
[20:58] <kad__> toastedmilk,  i search no xorg.conf
[20:58] <toastedmilk> kad__: check the 9.10 release notes
[20:58] <Bennage> i accidentally set the active partition to a dead partition.
[20:58] <sandman> Replace downstream and upstream with your actual bandwidths.
[20:58] <ZykoticK9> kad__, it's typically not there by default -- if you're using nvidia - "sudo nvidia-xconfig" will generate one
[20:58] <kad__> toastedmilk,  how i can edit the config then ?
[20:58] <sandman> Oh, you're worried about that...
[20:58] <sandman> Well, yeah. Use wondershaper.
[20:59] <Ferrenrock> sandman: yeah
[20:59] <kad__> ZykoticK9,  no i'm not using nvidia
[20:59] <jp--> hi guys. how can I boot ubuntu livecd using kexec to boot the text installer?
[20:59] <sandman> Figure out how much bandwidth you want to use, and do wondershaper
[20:59] <userone> my huawei e220 usb modem has become very slow on 9.10 (~45kb/s). it used to be consistently 650kb/s. nothing wrong with network or modem as i am still getting this speed on windows. any ideas?
[20:59] <Mrokii> does anybody in here know a site where I can enter unicode and see what sign it represents?
[20:59] <`mOOse`> Bennage, and you don't have a cdrom in the netbook I'm guessing
[20:59] <kad__> ZykoticK9,  using:     [23:48:51] lamiss is now busy
[20:59] <kad__>     [23:48:51] lamiss doesn't have personal message anymore
[20:59] <kad__>     [23:48:56] lamiss is now away
[20:59] <Bennage> nope :P
[20:59] <toastedmilk> Mrokii: google?
[20:59] <sandman> wondershaper is also very useful for keeping a connection from getting congested.
[20:59] <sandman> Can anyone help me with this sound issue?
[20:59] <Ferrenrock> sandman: I'd rather just throttle individual services or IP connections, not everything globally
[20:59] <Ferrenrock> like
[20:59] <kad__> ZykoticK9,  sorry
[20:59] <jp--> I'm currently using these parameters: kexec --load tmp/casper/vmlinuz --initrd=tmp/casper/initrd.gz --command-line="preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper initrd=/casper/initrd.gz nosplash vesa video=vesafb"   but I don't know what are the parameters to boot the text installation
[20:59] <jp--> thanks!
[20:59] <Ferrenrock> give precedence to one service over another
[21:00] <kad__> ZykoticK9,  wrong paste was saying i'm using: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller !
[21:00] <Ferrenrock> kind of like pfsense or zonealarm
[21:00] <`mOOse`> looks like it's time for an external usb dvd/cdrom drive Bennage  :-)
[21:00] <sandman> Ferrenrock: You'd want to give priority to a service? Then you'll probably need to research deeply into packet routing
[21:00] <Bennage> arse :P
[21:00] <Mrokii> toastedmilk:  I have searched google but found nothing suitable upto now.
[21:00] <sandman> Ferrenrock: Which will likely require some time on your part.
[21:00] <Temppu1> toastedmilk: same results, and it is not connected, so I can not pastebinit
[21:00] <Ferrenrock> sandman: pfsense and zonealarm had nice simple GUIs for it in freebsd and windows, respectively
[21:00] <Ferrenrock> I'm just looking for something similar
[21:00] <sandman> You could try that.
[21:00] <ZykoticK9> kad__, "sudo service gdm stop" (this will log you out BTW), then from console run "sudo X -configure" will put an xorg in /root -- copy & rename it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[21:00] <`mOOse`> if you can boot from a usb you could put hirens on it and fix the boot record with that
[21:00] <sandman> I'm not familiar with those.
[21:01] <Bennage> is there any software out there that i can stick on a USB stick, and boot from it on a PC to alter my MBR?
[21:01] <`mOOse`> or  ultimatecd
[21:01] <kad__> ZykoticK9,  thx =)
[21:01] <`mOOse`> yea plenty of em
[21:01] <erUSUL> Bennage: supergrub disk?
[21:01] <toastedmilk> Temmpu1: sorry, it's over my head then.  start googling your dhclient error message and see what you can turn up
[21:01] <`mOOse`> it's an xp install erUSUL
[21:01] <`mOOse`> on his netbook
[21:01] <Ferrenrock> sandman: pfsense has a list of running services with checks next to each one on which to drop, while zonelaarm has a list of services with the port and IP, and it literally has a little part to throttle it
[21:01] <almark1> Hello I'm trying to install build-essential on Ubuntu Hardy but it tells me  libstdc++6-4.2-dev: Depends: libc6-dev (>= 2.5) but it is not going to be installed
[21:02] <`mOOse`> he made the wrong partition active and he needs to switch it
[21:02] <sambagirl> how does one run a windows 98 app in ubuntu? using virtual box and then installing it like that?
[21:02] <Bennage> except I need to build it on the USB stick from this Mac :/
[21:02] <sandman> I see. Well, I'm not aware of anything like that. But that doesn't mean there isn't anything like that.
[21:02] <Ferrenrock> sandman: ah ok
[21:02] <almark1> what can I do to get it to install?
[21:02] <Mrokii> toastedmilk:  nevermind, found a suitable site.
[21:02] <Ferrenrock> I'll keep looking
[21:02] <`mOOse`> Bennage,  you in the usa?
[21:02] <erUSUL> sambagirl: or trying wine first
[21:02] <sandman> Keep asking in here, hopefully someone will know =) Otherwise, if there's no luck here, I'd recommend a little patience and a forum.
[21:02] <Ferrenrock> thanks
[21:02] <erUSUL> !appdb | sambagirl
[21:02] <Bennage> nope, UK
[21:02] <Ferrenrock> sandman: yeah
[21:02] <Ferrenrock> anyway
[21:02] <Ferrenrock> take it easy
[21:02] <ActionParsnip> sambagirl: you can use wine to run some windows apps
[21:02] <almark1> I tried to apt-get install the dependency but it didn't install either
[21:02] <`mOOse`> you have libraries with computers in them?
[21:02] <Bennage> heh
[21:02] <guntbert> !ot | `mOOse`
[21:03] <sambagirl> thanks
[21:03] <Bennage> i have work puters, but I'm too damn impatient :P
[21:03] <Temppu1> toastedmilk: ok, thanks anyhow :)
[21:03] <sambagirl> play in linux should do it tho i thought
[21:03] <ActionParsnip> sambagirl: virtualbox will require a windows licence to install windows in the virtualised system
[21:03] <sambagirl> '/join #winehq
[21:03] <`mOOse`> welp you can always put *UBUNTU* (glares at guntbert ) on it there ;-)
[21:03] <ActionParsnip> sambagirl: sure thats a wrapper for wine. not all apps work so check the appdb first
[21:04] <guntbert> `mOOse`: this channel is for ubuntu support - not for chatter *about* ubuntu - please remember that
[21:04] <ActionParsnip> sambagirl: if its a win98 app it may run in dosbox
[21:05] <`mOOse`> he's trying to get it installed on a usb stick guntbert ... sorry
[21:05] <almark1> How does one install build-essential if it refuses to install ?
[21:05] <sandman> If I enable the Pre-released updates and Unsupported updates in Software Sources, will APT still be "pinned" to prefer karmic-updates/karmic-security ?
[21:05] <erUSUL> almark1: paste the error msgs

[21:07] <userone> the 'green' hsdpa light on my usb no longer comes on. does anyone know how to 'force' it on using ubuntu?
[21:07] <ActionParsnip> sambagirl: whats dm2?
[21:07] <ZykoticK9> LuciusSir, what's your difficulty with nvidia-settings?
[21:08] <LuciusSir> ZykoticK9:  nothing anymore, i edited the xorg from scratch and removed all the repo specific packages relating to it lol
[21:08] <almark1> yes
[21:08] <swygue> Hello I'm trying automate a Ubuntu install using pxe and a preseed file, Ubuntu boots and the installer kicks off but fails to detect disk, I get "No root file system is defined". If switch to the shell terminal, and issue fdisk, I don't see any disk. If manually install Ubuntu using the CD-ROM on the same server, the installation detects the disk. Is there something I need to pass as a kernel parameter to get this working. My server is a HP 360. Thanks
[21:08] <ActionParsnip> luciussir: either way is fine :) i use xorg.conf too
[21:08] <almark1> I forgot how to talk directly to someone, its been a while for me on IRC
[21:08] <almark1> is it _joeblow
[21:08] <ikonia> swygue: does the disk have hardware raid setup ?
[21:09] <LuciusSir> ZykoticK9:  not to mention i dunno if it has a console based backup in case you screw up your xserver lol
[21:09] <erUSUL> !who | almark1
[21:09] <ikonia> almark1: saying the name will hilight them, /msg user will send a mesage to user
[21:09] <ta_> anyone knows if it is possible to import a virtual machine image created with vmware into virtualbox?
[21:09] <ActionParsnip> swygue: check the loaded modules in the working system, see what is related to disks and missing from the none working one
[21:09] <LuciusSir> ActionParsnip:  yeah its the only way lol
[21:09] <ZykoticK9> ta_, it is possible, ask in #vbox
[21:09] <erUSUL> ta_: qemu-img can convert them
[21:09] <almark1> ok thanks :)
[21:10] <ActionParsnip> ta_; ask in #vbox
[21:10] <userone> is there a command to check if a usb modem is receiving 3g/hsdpa?

[21:10] <kusznir> Hi all: I'm trying to create a ubuntu domU on my xen hvm server.  I've been trying with the 9.10 x86_64 dvd iso.  I've got it loading the cd menu (language, etc), but when I select "Install ubuntu", my display hangs (the menu is cleared, a flashing cursor shows up for about 1 sec, then all that remains is the F1... stuff on the bottom of the screen), and the CPU uses 100% of one core until I kill the DomU.  So far, no help from ##xen.  Any suggestion
[21:10] <kusznir> s?
[21:10] <erUSUL> cmp: /j #compiz
[21:10] <swygue> ikonia: yes I am using hardware raid
[21:11] <LuciusSir> ActionParsnip:  i have been finding if you don't know your monitors specific stats it doesn't like you much :P
[21:11] <ikonia> swygue: this is common when pxe booting, I've got a note on this, hang on
[21:11] <ActionParsnip> swygue: then you will need the module modprobed for your card
[21:11] <ikonia> ActionParsnip: it's actually a bit of a bug in how pxe works and how the HP DL range presents it's hardware disks
[21:12] <ActionParsnip> ikonia: gotcha
[21:12] <ikonia> ActionParsnip: you're right though, you have to pass the loadmodule option at boot time
[21:12] <thrashold> How can I download this? https://launchpad.net/~samrog131/+archive/ppa/+build/1274579

[21:16] <LuciusSir> oOOoOOoOoOoOo helping others is fun :)
[21:16] <ikonia> swygue: just trying to find my notes on this
[21:16] <LuciusSir> I love linux, its the best shoot in the dark, yet stable, os known to man :)
[21:16] <swygue> ikonia:cool
[21:16] <Temppu1> problem: wireless connected, can ping inside local network, not outside. no errors in dhclient. Ideas?
[21:16] <ikonia> swygue: I've gone through this pain with redhat and kickstart, the process should be the same with ubuntu
[21:16] <ActionParsnip> luciussir: indeed and makes users happy too :)
[21:17] <erUSUL> ta_: what is the error you get from ping ?
[21:17] <ikonia> Temppu1: check your gateway, check your dns servers, check your router is forwarding your packets
[21:18] <Temppu1> ikonia: how to check them? If I connect the wire, everything works. Everything works also now that I am typing on netbook with wireless...
[21:18] <sudobash> yo steve you still having problems?
[21:18] <userone> how can i increase the connection speed of my usb modem? network manager?
[21:19] <swygue> ikonia: not sure what process you are referring, I'm not experiencing this issue with my RHEL servers on the same hardware
[21:19] <ikonia> Temppu1: look at /etc/resolv.conf for your dns server, look at netstat -rn for your default gateway, look at ifconfig -a for your ip address
[21:19] <ikonia> userone: you can't
[21:19] <ikonia> swygue: ooh really, it's working on your RHEL setup
[21:19] <ppl8x> how can i show me all mounted devices in terminal?
[21:19] <ikonia> ppl8x: mount
[21:19] <ppl8x> thx
[21:19] <swygue> ikonia: works fine with RHEL, no special configuration, other that I'm kickstarting
[21:19] <LuciusSir> hey guyes
[21:20] <ikonia> swygue: rhel 5 (I assume you're using 5) must have it sorted then as 3 certainly didn't and I don't think 4 did
[21:20] <ikonia> LuciusSir: yes ?
[21:20] <LuciusSir> I helped steve12 this far, do you know what the deps might be missing in this compiler log ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/372034/
[21:20] <swygue> ikonia:yeah I am using RHEL 5
[21:20] <userone> ikonia: in wvdial there is an entry for baud rate. there must be something to control connection spped? my usb modem has gone from 600kb/s to just 45kb/s on ubuntu! (windows still 600kb/s)
[21:20] <LuciusSir> its not letting him compile the kernel mod
[21:21] <ikonia> LuciusSir: why are you building a kernel module, what's wrong with the nvidia drivers in the ubuntu restricted manager
[21:21] <LuciusSir> ikonia:  in a word, they suck
[21:21] <sponzor> is ext4 ok now? or is it bugy?
[21:21] <almark1> ActionParsnip my problem is more a 64 studio problem, even though its using Hardy I know its not official to this channel, I was able to get some answers from 64 studio, which is usually dead thank you :)
[21:21] <ikonia> LuciusSir: how do you know the one you're building won't be a problem ?
[21:21] <ikonia> swygue: yeah
[21:22] <ikonia> swygue: oops
[21:22] <ikonia> sponzor: google are moving to it, so it seem production ready
[21:22] <LuciusSir> ikonia:  because it was written by the hardware manufacturer, and I'm running my xserver on a custom built mod myself, and having less problems now
[21:22] <sponzor> ok tnx
[21:22] <LuciusSir> ikonia:  correction, having NO problems
[21:23] <sponzor> so the grup works fine on ext4?
[21:23] <ikonia> LuciusSir: there are the nvidia drivers from nvidia in the ubuntu restricted driver tool
[21:23] <LuciusSir> ikonia:  the moment i got rid of the oss kernel mods and edited my own xorg.conf the problems went away
[21:23] <ikonia> LuciusSir: they are wrote by nvidia - not the open nv drivers
[21:23] <ikonia> LuciusSir: they are the same drivers you are trying to build that you say "suck"
[21:24] <erUSUL> ikonia: yes but google hired ext4 creator that gives extra confidence; doesn't it?
[21:24] <Temppu1> ikonia: everything seems identical with this computer and the not-working-one. 2 differenting lines in netstat -rn, one with UGH flag in not-working-computer
[21:24] <nailora> i have a syncmaster p2450h and the 1920x1080 resolution does not work how can i fix it? hightest available resolution is 1680x1050. i am running karmic.
[21:24] <ikonia> erUSUL: that is true
[21:24] <ikonia> Temppu1: what's the two gateway line
[21:24] <LuciusSir> ikonia:  if they are they don't work as well seemingly... what ever happened to the day and age when men were men and wrote their own floppy drivers :P hehehehehe
[21:24] <ikonia> swygue: I can't find the darn module line, but basically you need to pass the cciss module at boot time

[21:26] <isolat3dsh33p> who's Gary Parker? Why do I have a key named Gary Parker in my Passwords and Encryption Keys?
[21:26] <ikonia> LuciusSir: ok, so why do you think building the same modules from nvidia will work ?
[21:26] <LuciusSir> ikonia: did for me
[21:26] <erUSUL> isolat3dsh33p: probably you collected it via your mail client (a mail gpg key)
[21:26] <Temppu1> ikonia: in broken one there is destination 130.208.so on with gateway <IP_ADDRESS> genmask is 4 times 255. two times the same line of destination 0 and right gateway with flag ug
[21:26] <ikonia> LuciusSir: what do you mean "did for you" ?
[21:27] <LuciusSir> ikonia: and i've installed and reinstalled multiple builds of linux using different vid cards, and it worked out fine
[21:27] <ikonia> LuciusSir: so really, no proof behind this,
[21:27] <erUSUL> isolat3dsh33p: if you are susbcribed to a mailing list or similar is easy to get a lot of public keys

[21:34] <ikonia> LuciusSir: using newer drivers on older cards isn't always the best way to go
[21:34] <cmp> pjjkziq, what is this ?
[21:34] <DracoWork> nvidias current driver certainly doesnt support it
[21:35] <pjjkziq> ubuntu release version that is usually shown with about ubuntu
[21:35] <ikonia> DracoWork: I did wonder that
[21:35] <LuciusSir> ikonia: his problem is he can't get resolution over 640x480...... maybe i should tell him to get his monitor specs first, that can sometimes be the problem

But I need to keep 2 of the partitions that are currently on it, and wipe out the other two to use for a LiveUSB install. I need to keep the old partitions, because I have to use that drive to back up my old gentoo install. Can I make the LAST two partitions the ones for the liveCD, or does it have to be the first partition that is bootable?

[22:09] <PeskyJ> been doing regular updates, though did recently do a dist upgrade to 9.10 - probably what caused it :/
[22:10] <creature> VCoolio: The thing is, it's definitely at login, not at boot. I logged in, my channels were muted so I unmuted them, then X crashed, and when I logged in again they were muted again.
[22:10] <creature> And I don't think an X crash should have changed runlevels.

[22:11] <creature> duffman: Have you seen https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wacom ?
[22:11] <duffman> yeah
[22:11] <duffman> I think the problem I'm having is that its not a wacom brand one.
[22:12] <teage> cmp, then you would see that firefox is in /var/lib/dpkg/info/blah blah blah , so you would then type "gtksudo nautilus" in the terminal and it will open a window with root
[22:12] <duffman> and when I use the cmd wacomcpl it doesn't see it
[22:12] <VCoolio> creature: it's a common issue, not sure on what to advice though; for me the link worked; ask again here or search the web, you'll find plenty options I'm afraid

[22:26] <teage> manueljordison_, is that a linksys card?
[22:26] <ikonia> marnold: is it there ?
[22:26] <semanticpc> vinse: i should have started the processing using nohup rite ??
[22:26] <marnold> yes it is
[22:27] <Diverdude> If i employ this command:  sudo tar -zxvf /tmp/matlabr2008b.tgz  where will the packet be extracted to?

[22:28] <semanticpc> vinse:  I am looking to make a foreground process run as a background process without stopping it
[22:28] <marnold> it may not have been installed correctly which is what i'm trying to check now
[22:28] <vinse> semanticpc: one you already started? w/o stopping and restarting it?
[22:28] <nibbler> vinse: so your companys DHCP does not assign a gateway to you?  can be.... no gateway, no inet
[22:29] <semanticpc> vinse: yes
[22:29] <Diverdude> If i employ this command:  sudo tar -zxvf /tmp/matlabr2008b.tgz  where will the packet be extracted to?

[22:30] <teage> manueljordison_, google rtl810 , I have a linksys rt2870 that i had to blacklist another driver to get it to work
[22:30] <nibbler> vinse: do you use dhcp for configuration, or did you assign an ip yourself?
