[00:00] <Beastmode> how can i install new login screens for ubuntu?
[00:00] <sebsebseb> JoshuaP0x1: maybe you can help me with a little something now
[00:00] <JoshuaP0x1> sure. what's up?
[00:00] <pazsion> fawk it i'll reinstal SB drivers..
[00:00] <fearful> VCoolio, after I open one window from Applicatino > Internet > Mozilla 3.6 I can run a new window from the shortcuts.
[00:00] <VCoolio> fearful: what command is in the shortcuts?
[00:00] <sebsebseb> JoshuaP0x1: well not right now, but on the other computer I want to give the new Opera a try for Linux :),   but  I was wondering about Flash.   Does it use the same one as Firefox, or does it have to be installed in another way?
[00:01] <mikejet> what's the webpage that summarizes what ubuntu's long term gnome/UI strategy is?
[00:01] <VCoolio> fearful: and compare that to the one in the menu (right click the menubutton)
[00:01] <fearful> VCoolio, firefox-3.6 %u and it matches under the menu edit one too.
[00:01] <JoshuaP0x1> Don't know. I installed it and it just worked.
[00:01] <VCoolio> fearful: ah, right
[00:01] <Beastmode> so anyone ever change their login screen?
[00:02] <VCoolio> fearful: that's just crazy, I don't know
[00:02] <fearful> VCoolio, I thought the same haha
[00:02] <Beastmode> i got one from here http://art.gnome.org/themes/gdm_greeter?page=2 , but i dont know how to install it
[00:02] <pazsion> what is a patch loader?
[00:02] <VCoolio> Beastmode: yeah, but not much use anymore with karmic coming
[00:02] <JoshuaP0x1> sebsebseb: I have to run dude. Anything else?
[00:02] <fearful> VCoolio, and awkardly when I exit the last window I have opened I get the logout sound of Ubuntu.
[00:02] <ThePunisher> wow a lot of people in this channel O_O
[00:02] <JoshuaP0x1> sebsebseb: thanks again for your help.
[00:02] <Beastmode> what is Karmic?
[00:02] <pazsion> answer my question?
[00:03] <VCoolio> fearful: I have NEVER heard something like that, wow
[00:03] <sebsebseb> JoshuaP0x1: or is Opera just installed, and Flash works no problem ?
[00:03] <fearful> VCoolio, let me restart xorg maybe something has gone really wrong
[00:03] <fearful> VCoolio, its a new jaunty install too.
[00:03] <VCoolio> Beastmode: the next version of ubuntu, coming 29 of october
[00:03] <ubuntistas> how can i completely remove xubuntu?
[00:03] <sebsebseb> !karmic |  Beastmode
[00:03] <ubuntistas> any command?
[00:04] <Flannel> ubuntistas: "remove" to what extent?  The whole install? the GUI? Just xubuntu, keeping Ubuntu? or what?
[00:04] <Beastmode> oh Vcoolio, Karmic wont have login screens? will it require me to install totally new or will i be able to upgrade keeping my existing settings?
[00:04] <ubuntistas> the third one flannel
[00:04] <Beastmode> sorry, i just installed ubuntu about 2 weeks ago
[00:04] <Beastmode> so im very new to this
[00:05] <Flannel> ubuntistas: Er, which one was that?  You want to go back to only Ubuntu?
[00:05] <VCoolio> Beastmode: you can just upgrade, but it won't use gdm login screen but something else or at least it seems the users can't tweak it anymore
[00:05] <ubuntistas> yup
[00:05] <Beastmode> oh
[00:05] <Flannel> ubuntistas: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome  If you want anything that comes with Ubuntu, either reinstall it afterwards, or modify that line so it won't be removed
[00:06] <foey> May need to upgrade my linux-box, AMD XP2000, 768mb RAM, Geforce 2, 40Gb SATA2 Drive
[00:06] <Beastmode> anywhere i can read about what changes will be in Karmic as oppposed to 9.04?
[00:06] <foey> Its struggling with a couple of vms :D
[00:06] <Flannel> Beastmode: #ubuntu+1 should be able to answer that
[00:07] <Beastmode> ok
[00:08] <Balsaq> bought a new cheapie 18.5 flatscreen, hooked it up to my 11 year old dell w/ubuntu 9.04, now runs WAY FASTER? never tweaked ubuntu left the insrall asis?
[00:08] <blacksheep> hello
[00:08] <leissi> Balsaq, that's what happens when you reboot
[00:09] <Balsaq> ?
[00:09] <leissi> nevermind :P
[00:09] <Balsaq> gets faster when i reboot?
[00:09] <fearful> VCoolio, worked like a charm haha...
[00:09] <leissi> sorry, slipped out an insider thing :(
[00:09] <Balsaq> well can i be an insider?
[00:09] <Sirisian> How long does it normally take you guys to build the ubuntu kernel from scratch?
[00:09] <VCoolio> fearful: solved? good, the logout sound was a _very_ weird one
[00:10] <leissi> Balsaq, if you were you would've understood immediately :(
[00:10] <Balsaq> thought it may help others who need speed like i did...who knew?
[00:10] <fearful> VCoolio, yea I thought the same, but it's all cleared now sound and shortcuts thanks anyway!
[00:10] <Balsaq> well insider werent always insiders you know
[00:10] <ThePunisher> WTF always somebody leaving this channel and then someone else connecting

[00:11] <sebsebseb> !language | ThePunisher
[00:11] <wahnfrieden_> hi
[00:11] <wahnfrieden_> im interested in installing ubuntu on my car
[00:11] <sebsebseb> !hi |  wahnfrieden_
[00:11] <wahnfrieden_> to replace the car management system
[00:11] <wahnfrieden_> it's a BMW
[00:11] <wahnfrieden_> are there any open source ABS projects?
[00:11] <VCoolio> ThePunisher: you can switch off these messages in pidgin with enabling a plugin (do you use pidgin?)
[00:11] <Beastmode> how come when i run update it tells me that new package 9.10 is available? so i should not install that unti october29?
[00:12] <fearful> VCoolio, would you mind giving me the force add-on you were mention or where I can find it?
[00:12] <ThePunisher> VCoolio no
[00:12] <Flannel> wahnfrieden_: Ubuntu isn't designed to run on your car, no.
[00:12] <wahnfrieden_> Flannel: not what i asked
[00:12] <wahnfrieden_> but thanks a lot anyway
[00:12] <wahnfrieden_> im worried about turn signals
[00:13] <wahnfrieden_> if there's some gnu software to handle them
[00:13] <ThePunisher> is there in this channel translation script? my english is bad so i'm need a translator.
[00:13] <wahnfrieden_> but it's not crucial because i can always just use hand signals
[00:13] <Flannel> wahnfrieden_: All of that stuff is taken care of by specialized embedded systems,which may run linux, but not Ubuntu.
[00:13] <zed__> lol @ wahnfrieden_
[00:13] <VCoolio> fearful: I'd have to check, I use the manual way: download the .xpi file, then open in archive manager, open install.rdf in texteditor and change the max version, save, let archive manager update the .xpi then open that with minefield > done.
[00:14] <Balsaq> anyone using the web janitor? i have 3 files to get rid of but it says "am i aware i may break my cpmuter" if i dump them?
[00:14] <fearful> VCoolio, alright, I'll give that a try instead sounds bettery anyway
[00:14] <joshua__> best music management in the repos?
[00:14] <wahnfrieden_> zed its not a laughing manner
[00:14] <ThePunisher> somebody can help me with php?
[00:14] <wahnfrieden_> matter
[00:14] <wahnfrieden_> this is my life at stake, as i drive my car
[00:14] <zed__> wahnfrieden_: wrong!
[00:14] <Flannel> wahnfrieden_: Please stay ontopic in this channel.
[00:15] <ThePunisher> :/
[00:15] <wahnfrieden_> i need to knwo that my brakes won't go out, just because RMS decided that some ubuntu driver that my car relies on, isn't GNU
[00:15] <wahnfrieden_> or "free" enough for him

[00:15] <wahnfrieden_> i see.
[00:15] <VCoolio> fearful: it will still prompt with updates, but those will not install of course, you have to repeat every time; depending on how many add-ons you use and how often they have updates you may prefer an add-on
[00:16] <ThePunisher> g2g goodbye
[00:16] <Flannel> wahnfrieden_: Again, Ubuntu isn't appropriate for your particular needs at the moment.  Please find a more appropriate channel to ask in.
[00:16] <wahnfrieden_> Flannel: what do you suggest, maybe #slackware or #gentoo ?
[00:17] <fearful> VCoolio, ok thanks for the info again
[00:17] <Flannel> wahnfrieden_: They wouldn't be appropriate either.  You're looking for embedded linux, although I doubt many of your subsystems would use linux at all.
[00:18] <wahnfrieden_> whys that?
[00:18] <ctmjr> wahnfrieden_: ask your mechanic
[00:18] <wahnfrieden_> sorry, I dont understand

[00:21] <linxeh> oafghani: if you run a windows client like mIRC
[00:21] <beasty> lol

[00:23] <bulazeem> i just fixed my sister's boss's computer and she also wants me to put an OS on it b/c her vista expired.  do you think that a complete computer noob would be fine with the new ubuntu?  i'm asking b/c last time i used ubuntu it was gusty (which was pretty user friendly), and i'm not sure how much more has improved.
[00:24] <leissi> eek what

[00:24] <leissi> xchat with no userlist

[00:25] <mgv2> how can i make xchat to load servers at starting?
[00:25] <superjoe> anyone gotten an ntrig tablet laptop working with touch screen?
[00:25] <mgv2> why does the english xchat spell checker go away when i change my system language?
[00:25] <superjoe> or have a link to an article?
[00:25] <beasty> mgv2: just disable it
[00:25] <htorres11393> because it's not in english?
[00:25] <superjoe> mgv2: xchat->network list->pick your channel->settnigs
[00:26] <leissi> mgv2, server list, pick server you want to connect to, edit, connect at startup
[00:26] <ryguy> Is there a good way to download aplbum art for an ipod in ubuntu
[00:26] <ryguy> I need to fix my whole collection
[00:26] <ubuntufan86> I was disappointed when I found out Ubuntu looks similiar to Windows.
[00:27] <beasty> ubuntufan86: url ?
[00:27] <ubuntufan86> I really wanted something different
[00:27] <superjoe> ubuntufan86: you have a lot to learn, my friend
[00:27] <ryguy> ubuntu looks liked windows?
[00:27] <ubuntufan86> What URL?
[00:27] <ryguy> are you on acid?
[00:27] <bewby> I have a problem with my USB mouse, and was wondering if anyone could help...I use ubuntu with gnome, and when I logged on a few minutes ago, instead of scrolling, the mouse wheel will control the volume. Anyone know what's wrong?
[00:27] <thedangler> hello, started ubuntu up today  and it loads and i get a black screen with flashing caps lock, what can i do?
[00:27] <pablo_> hi
[00:27] <htorres11393> it looks nothing like windows!
[00:27] <mikejet> ubuntufan86, I'm very happy with the UI in 9.04, compared to the earlier version.
[00:28] <ubuntufan86> I mean, I am tired of the windows on the screen.
[00:28] <ryguy> ...what? you're tired of window based gui's?
[00:28] <ryguy> theres a CLI if you want..
[00:28] <superjoe> ubuntufan86: press ctrl+alt+f1
[00:28] <htorres11393> then pres CTRL ALT F1
[00:28] <htorres11393> if ur really sick of GUI
[00:28] <sn3aky> blackbox
[00:29] <sn3aky> fluxbox
[00:29] <citizeen> linux still has a long way to go to catch up to windows in terms of GUI
[00:29] <htorres11393> no way dude
[00:29] <htorres11393> what makes you say that?
[00:29] <citizeen> yes way dude
[00:29] <htorres11393> why is windows better?
[00:30] <zed__> ubuntu isn't too ugly, once you get the turd coloured theme...
[00:30] <citizeen> the look the feel the everything
[00:30] <xenogia> hey guys, im trying to setup so hellanzb loads up at midnight and closes at 12pm but i am having some issues with the crontab
[00:30] <UbuntuTurd> ok
[00:30] <mgv2> beasty, i want to have speel chech with my system to be in another language
[00:30] <mgv2> superjoe, yes i see it
[00:30] <xenogia> 30 09:28:01 dean-desktop /USR/SBIN/CRON[8957]: (dean) CMD (/usr/nzb_start.sh)
[00:30] <xenogia> Sep 30 09:29:01 dean-desktop /USR/SBIN/CRON[9086]: (dean) CMD (/usr/nzb_stop.sh)
[00:30] <zed__> UbuntuTurd: lol :)
[00:30] <mikejet> I've set up Ctrl+1 thru Ctrl+4 to select workspaces 1 through 4, like on OSX. I like that.
[00:30] <xenogia> is what it has in the logs
[00:30] <xenogia> but it doesn't actually load up the process in the bash script
[00:30] <sebsebseb> citizeen: I agree Ubuntu isn't that good for default eye candy, unlike many other distros, however even Ubuntu can be themed to look pretty nice
[00:30] <sagaci> citizeen: you have the choice of what operating system you use, so if you prefer windows, then use windows
[00:31] <mikejet> ubuntu needs to remove the part where the scrollwheel switches workspaces. that's horrible.
[00:31] <htorres11393> you haven't proven anything
[00:31] <citizeen> yes its ugly
[00:31] <htorres11393> ugly is only an opinion
[00:31] <htorres11393> i happen to think it looks good
[00:31] <citizeen> it looks cheap
[00:31] <htorres11393> if you make it look the way you want
[00:31] <htorres11393> fix it up
[00:31] <KnifeySpooney> what does?
[00:31] <sagaci> citizeen: it's free
[00:31] <htorres11393> use compiz and all that
[00:31] <citizeen> it looks like my grandma drew it up
[00:32] <mikejet> citizeen, maybe she did.
[00:32] <htorres11393> can your grandma draw up awn dock or even better cairo dock?
[00:32] <ctmjr> !ot
[00:32] <UbuntuTurd> Once you get used to all the turd on Ubuntu backround.
[00:32] <Evelina> How do I send variables from a php script to use in a bash script?
[00:32] <UbuntuPoop> ok
[00:33] <J11> well there was a Windows-like window manager
[00:33] <citizeen> if you think linux gui is better, you know you are just in a denial
[00:33] <bulazeem> anyone?
[00:33] <KnifeySpooney> Evelina: I haven't tested this but try reading the forums - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=981118
[00:34] <UbuntuPoop> a
[00:34] <citizeen> yes ubuntu is poop
[00:34] <Beastmode> is miro a streaming player like sopcast or tvu are for windows?
[00:34] <citizeen> you got that right my friend
[00:34] <ctmjr> citizeen: this is a support channel not a debate channel #ubuntu-offtopic is where you should this discussion
[00:34] <citizeen> im sorry i was just here to flirt
[00:34] <htorres11393> lol wat a shitty attitude
[00:35] <htorres11393> if you want' i can help you fix your desktop to make it look good
[00:35] <ryguy> hm, when you press CTRL ALT F1, how do you get back to the GUI? >_>
[00:35] <htorres11393> lollll
[00:35] <KnifeySpooney> ctrl+alt+F7
[00:35] <htorres11393> control alt f7
[00:35] <arand> mikejet: the scroll workspace switch was removed as part of the papercuts afaik.
[00:35] <bulazeem> ctmjr, it's also not really a support channel.  by telling the people that are debating where they can go to debate, you have infact given them more help than someone that had a real question...
[00:35] <ryguy> hahaha
[00:35] <ryguy> thanks
[00:35] <KnifeySpooney> :P
[00:35] <citizeen> the best GUI is the commando line mode
[00:35] <homebrewcider> hey there using Xubuntu, and Krusader, trying to copy files to server, can view files okay in server, but when copying get error message that failed to write file to xxx
[00:35] <Beastmode> Aynone ever use Miro?

[00:36] <reelonechris> citizeen, agreed :P
[00:36] <mikejet> arand: Im a little confused about that. The scrollwheel/workspace thing still happens on my 9.04.
[00:36] <htorres11393> yeah mikejet that's a feature
[00:36] <citizeen> web looks better in lynx
[00:36] <htorres11393> if you're not on a window it does that
[00:37] <magikid> Beastmode: I have.  It a good vodcast player.
[00:37] <reelonechris> citizeen, couldn't agree more, lol
[00:37] <mikejet> htorres11393, I believe it is fixed, but don't know what version.
[00:37] <sebsebseb> citizeen: now your starting to sound like a troll, however text only browsers can be fun
[00:37] <Beastmode> magikid, is it like sopcast and tvu for windows?
[00:37] <htorres11393> what doe you mean? what's fixed?
[00:37] <mikejet> I really wish System->About would print 9.04, 9.10, etc, somewhere. It's nearly impossible to keep track.
[00:38] <citizeen> only in linux do i get people to agree with me
[00:38] <sebsebseb> !version |  mikejet
[00:38] <magikid> Beastmode: No, it's not live.
[00:38] <superjoe> you should just select a better appearance option
[00:38] <citizeen> seriously, linux in GUI is complete crap
[00:38] <superjoe> like clearlooks
[00:38] <Pieman> Hello folks! I have two .vse files from a digital video recorder and badly need a converter. I have tried numerous ones for windows with no results whatsoever. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[00:38] <superjoe> citizeen: explain "GUI"
[00:38] <J11> wasn't that /etc/issue ?
[00:38] <citizeen> anything involving a mouse
[00:38] <reelonechris> citizeen, even aim is better in term
[00:38] <sebsebseb> citizeen: take it to #ubuntu-offtopic
[00:39] <joeb3_> mikejet, mine says 9.04 right under the graphic
[00:39] <superjoe> Pieman: you want to look at ffmpeg
[00:39] <KnifeySpooney> citizeen: I prefer Ubuntu's GUI over Win7's
[00:39] <KnifeySpooney> especially with compiz
[00:39] <mikejet> joeb3_, In System->About Gnome ?
[00:39] <Pieman> Thanks suoerjoe.
[00:39] <joeb3_> mikejet, about Ubuntu
[00:40] <Pieman> Superjoe!
[00:40] <nyu_> im having problems changing my samba password
[00:40] <Beastmode> any suggestions as to what i can use for ubuntu in place of sopcast and tvu player?
[00:40] <mikejet> joeb3_, That's not in the default ubuntu toolbar on 9.04.
[00:40] <Beastmode> i couldnt find sopcast or tvu on osalt
[00:41] <arand> mikejet: seems like it's only in karmic so far: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/147230
[00:41] <joeb3_> mikejet, I didn't add it. It's just there.
[00:41] <sebsebseb> !ot
[00:42] <mikejet> arand : That's perfect. I figured out how to disable, and I'm glad its gone in 9.10 so I don't have to explain this to others.
[00:42] <ryguy> Whats a good ipod album art fixer for ubuntu?
[00:42] <htorres11393> are you on a dual boot ryguy?
[00:42] <ryguy> nope 199% ubuntu
[00:42] <ryguy> >_>
[00:42] <mikejet> joeb3_, You are saying you have a "System->About Ubuntu" in your toolbar?
[00:42] <joeb3_> mikejet, do you have file:///usr/share/gnome/help/about-ubuntu/C/about-ubuntu.xml#
[00:42] <htorres11393> well idk dude
[00:43] <ryguy> dang

[00:43] <joeb3_> mikejet, yes
[00:43] <mikejet> joeb3_, What version of ubuntu are you running?
[00:43] <htorres11393> i heard a rumor that you can install itunes with wine on 9.04
[00:43] <ryguy> no I refuse to use itunes
[00:43] <htorres11393> then i don't know
[00:43] <joeb3_> mikejet, Thank you for your interest in Ubuntu 9.04

[00:44] <htorres11393> can you develop ryguy?
[00:44] <htorres11393> you know programming?
[00:44] <nyu_> why do you need itunes? theres plenty of better opensource progs that do the same thing
[00:44] <praveenp> I am trying to xdmcp in ubuntu.

[00:45] <praveenp> anyone can help me with xdmcp?
[00:45] <Evelina> I donät want to use it on xml pages. I want to get content between tags using html coding.
[00:47] <mikejet> joeb3_ No, I don't have that file.
[00:47] <mikejet> Why does joeb3_ have a System->About Ubuntu, but I do not?
[00:48] <superjoe> has anyone gotten an ntrig touchscreen laptop to work?
[00:49] <sebsebseb> Evelina: What's  xmlstarlet?
[00:49] <mikejet> Does anybody else running 9.04 here have a System->About Ubuntu in the toolbar?
[00:49] <VCoolio> mikejet: can you run 'yelp'?
[00:49] <ryguy> mikejet: me
[00:49] <mikejet> yelp is not installed

[00:50] <IpSe_DiXiT> hi guys, having some trouble visualizing the content of some sites lately, could u tell me if u can watch this videoclip http://www.ted.com/talks/eric_giler_demos_wireless_electricity.html ? i run ubuntu 8.10 with firefox 3.0.14 thanks
[00:50] <Samus_Aran> can anyone explain why dbus never works for me, and how I could get it to work ?  I use /usr/bin/icewm as my window manager, if that makes a difference.
[00:51] <mikejet> So users are supposed to know to install yelp?
[00:51] <VCoolio> mikejet: no users are supposed not to uninstall it unknowingly ;)
[00:51] <mikejet> Is yelp installed by default on 9.10 ?
[00:52] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_DiXiT: works fine here.  which version of Flash are you using ?
[00:52] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_DiXiT: Adobe Flash is a buggy POS, so don't expect it to work regularly ...
[00:52] <IpSe_DiXiT> Samus_Aran: i can watch youtube and other flash videos on other sites but not all of em, i dont understand
[00:52] <Evelina> sebsebseb: http://xmlstar.sourceforge.net/
[00:53] <arand> mikejet: you might want to head out to #ubuntu+1 for those queries ;)
[00:53] <VCoolio> mikejet: sorry, it seems to be optional; don't know why almost everyone has it then
[00:53] <sebsebseb> Evelina: ok ty I guess, but itsjareds already gave me that link
[00:53] <ubox> does anyone running on a ppc have suspend working?
[00:53] <mikejet> good grief.
[00:53] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_DiXiT: as I explained: Adobe Flash (for Linux) is a buggy POS.  every version they release is buggy
[00:54] <Evelina> sebsebseb: Ok, I didn't see that, was just looking at my own conversation.
[00:54] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_DiXiT: I am using the latest test release of 64bit Flash here, and it works for all the sites in Firefox, doesn't work at all in Opera, and randomly crashes
[00:54] <IpSe_DiXiT> Samus_Aran: yeah but if it works for utube why wouldnt it for another site?
[00:54] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_DiXiT: because they are using different components of Flash
[00:55] <IpSe_DiXiT> Samus_Aran: so what do u suggest me to do?
[00:55] <IpSe_DiXiT> Samus_Aran: install gnash?
[00:55] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_DiXiT: I suggest upgrading to the very latest version of Flash available for your architecture
[00:55] <veloz> alguem poderia me ajudar?
[00:55] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_DiXiT: uname -m
[00:55] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_DiXiT: what does that list ?

[00:56] <KingNimrod> IpSe_DiXiT: means you have a pentium or better
[00:56] <IpSe_DiXiT> i cant HEAR this http://gethighnow.com/binaural-beats-basic-beats/ it just won't start
[00:56] <veloz> vc disse para eu procurar ajuda no forum ?
[00:56] <IpSe_DiXiT> KingNimrod: i got a dualcore
[00:57] <ring0> what kind of antivirus-toolkit could you recommend more, clamav or bitdefender?
[00:57] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_DiXiT: which distro are you using ?
[00:57] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_DiXiT: er, sorry, this is Ubuntu.  :p
[00:57] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_DiXiT: how did you install your current Flash version, through the package manager, or a download from Adobe ?
[00:57] <IpSe_DiXiT> Samus_Aran: im on ubuntu 8.10 with gnome of course
[00:57] <VCoolio> veloz: hope you can read this: I don't speak Portuguese, no hablo portugues
[00:57] <IpSe_DiXiT> Samus_Aran: synaptic
[00:58] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_DiXiT: download this file: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_10_linux.deb
[00:58] <Evelina> How do I extract the title from web pages in Linux? I have tried PHP and bash but I have BIG problems getting it to work with different kind of web page encodings.
[00:58] <Prohibited> Anyone mind helping me to set up WoW? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8027691#post8027691 (read it before linking the Ubuntu World of Warcraft guide).
[00:58] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_DiXiT: if it doesn't pop up in gdebi, then install it with: dpkg -i install_flash_player_10_linux.deb
[00:58] <veloz> VCoolio ?
[00:58] <shinystar> Evelina: title of webpages?
[00:58] <IpSe_DiXiT> Samus_Aran: but i'll have to unistall my flash version first
[00:59] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_DiXiT: it should upgrade it
[00:59] <Prohibited> shinystar: <title></title>
[00:59] <IpSe_DiXiT> Samus_Aran: ah ok
[00:59] <IpSe_DiXiT> letz see what happens :D
[00:59] <SeaPhor|game> Prohibited, what are you using?
[00:59] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_DiXiT: you'll need to restart your browser afterward
[00:59] <shinystar> Prohibited: I know.
[00:59] <SeaPhor|game> Prohibited, wine? Cedega?
[00:59] <Prohibited> SeaPhor|game: WINE
[00:59] <Prohibited> I have CrossOver installed, haven't tried running WoW under it
[00:59] <shinystar> Prohibited: but I'm asking because title of webpage sounds strange..
[00:59] <Jagger> anybody troubleshoot aircrack for me
[00:59] <shinystar> Prohibited: what can one do with that..
[01:00] <Prohibited> well
[01:00] <Karan> wud guyz
[01:00] <ActionParsnip> Prohibited: contact the crossover team, when you buy it you also buy support
[01:00] <Karan> wud up
[01:00] <IpSe_DiXiT> Samus_Aran: ive already tried to install this, ive just realized it cuz this output came out that time as well "A later version is available in a software channel
[01:00] <IpSe_DiXiT> You are strongly advised to install the version from the software channel, since it is usually better supported."
[01:00] <Evelina> shinystar: Yeah, the content between the title tags in the code of web pages.
[01:00] <shinystar> Evelina: if you want to copy a website use the save as function of firefox or use something httrack website copier
[01:00] <ewp> Jagger: join #aircrack-ng
[01:00] <darkham> please help, i installed ubuntu jaunty on a system with raid 0
[01:00] <Prohibited> for some websites, example is one of the Church Norris jokes websites the joke (if you consider them a joke) it in the <title></title> tags
[01:01] <darkham> but at reboot i've grub error 21
[01:01] <SeaPhor|game> Prohibited, it is OT (off-topic) here, i will help you in # seaphor if you want
[01:01] <Evelina> I have a lot of problems getting all characters to show up as the should depending on different encoding of web pages.
[01:01] <shinystar> Evelina: you could also simple do a right click and view the source to look for the title.. but that would be useless. because your window shows the title in the title of the window xD hahaha
[01:01] <Prohibited> so getting a game to work on Ubuntu is counted as offtopic?
[01:01] <Evelina> Somtimes the web page says utf-8 but the text look only good using iso-8859-1 anyway. This is very fristrating!
[01:01] <darkham> i typed in live "ms-sys -m /dev/sda" the result was good, but i can't reboot windows xp
[01:01] <shinystar> Evelina: oh, I see. so you're coding html.
[01:02] <Prohibited> SeaPhor|game: Yes please
[01:02] <darkham> plese help me
[01:02] <darkham> i'm desperate
[01:02] <Evelina> shinystar: Well, I want to get the conten between the title tags using a bash script or someting.
[01:02] <ActionParsnip> Prohibited: have you checked the appdb?
[01:02] <ryguy> how do I open a text file with spaces in the name from the command line? "sudo gedit /media/usb/I AM THE FILE"
[01:02] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_DiXiT: dpkg --force-all --install install_flash_player_10_linux.deb
[01:03] <ActionParsnip> ryguy: gksudo gedit dude, sudo s not for gui apps
[01:03] <IpSe_DiXiT> Samus_Aran: i have this version installed now FLASH LNX 10,0,32,18
[01:03] <Samus_Aran> ryguy: gksudo gedit '/media/usb/I AM THE FILE'
[01:03] <Evelina> shinystar: No, I'm not codning html, I'm getting the Terminal to show the content in the right way, but I always get strange characters because the Temrinal use utf-9 encoding but the web pages use different encodings on different sites.
[01:03] <ryguy> ActionParsnip: It works fine though...
[01:03] <ryguy> thank you samus
[01:03] <shinystar> Evelina: well #bash would be more helpfull, but a wget -qO- http://www.google.com/ | sed -n 's_^.*<title>\(.*\)<\/title>.*$_\1_p' could help you too xD
[01:03] <IpSe_DiXiT> Samus_Aran: i have this version installed now FLASH LNX 10,0,32,18 why do i need to install the .10? if mine's more recent
[01:03] <sebsebseb> hi again Karan
[01:04] <Samus_Aran> ryguy: it may or may not work fine using sudo, depending on settings.  gksudo will always work
[01:04] <yuri_dragon_17> I need help: I have a working ubuntu disk In the drive, but my computer won't boot to linux
[01:04] <ryguy> oh okay
[01:04] <ryguy> fair enough
[01:04] <ActionParsnip> ryguy: sudo doesnt setup the environment correcly and can damage ownerships
[01:04] <ryguy> thanks for the tidbit
[01:04] <shinystar> Evelina: utf-9? you mean utf-8 I think. you can set your terminal charset..
[01:04] <KingNimrod> yuri_dragon_17: bios set to boot from cd?
[01:04] <ActionParsnip> ryguy: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo
[01:04] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_DiXiT: because the version that your distro installed for you is broken for sites that mean something to you.  try the latest stable release directly from Adobe.  if it's still buggy, then try an alpha (test) release
[01:05] <Evelina> shinystar: Will the characters look good using you line of code? I mean different characters only show up as the should using the right encoding?
[01:05] <yuri_dragon_17> KingNimrod: that's probably it
[01:05] <Evelina> shinystar: Yes, I meant utf-8.
[01:05] <root_demon> hello ubuntu people
[01:05] <Samus_Aran> Evelina: there is no way to magically know which encoding a file has
[01:05] <IpSe_DiXiT> Samus_Aran: alright so im giving this  dpkg --force-all --install install_flash_player_10_linux.deb without removing the installed version first, right?
[01:05] <Samus_Aran> Evelina: when opening text files, they will be displayed using the encoding of your terminal
[01:06] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_DiXiT: yeah
[01:06] <Evelina> Samus_Aran: Yea, I have created a script that also gets the encoding line of a web page source code, the problem is that itthe texts ometimes look good using the opposite encidong!
[01:06] <root_demon> so, I have a quirky usb problem. the entire hub seems to be dieing. every couple of minutes dmesg will show it come back up and then 10 seconds later it'll die again. i have endless pages of this -> http://pastebin.ca/1585139
[01:06] <Evelina> *encoding
[01:06] <darkham> plese help me
[01:06] <IpSe_DiXiT> Samus_Aran: dpkg: operation requires read/write access to dpkg status area --> thatz the output, am i missing a sudo here?
[01:06] <darkham> i typed in live "ms-sys -m /dev/sda" the result was good, but i can't reboot windows xp
[01:06] <shinystar> Evelina: I don't know. try the code yourself.
[01:06] <darkham> i installed ubuntu jaunty on a system with raid 0
[01:07] <shinystar> Evelina: it's harmless
[01:07] <ActionParsnip> root_demon: try disabling acpi
[01:07] <shinystar> Does one know a good nickname? wanne register one for freenode
[01:07] <guest17747> is there a netbook irc channel?
[01:07] <shinystar> sux.. cannot use openid..
[01:07] <cidu_work> umm, so whats the accepted method for getting dual screen + compiz working on an ATI card that has been dropped from the ati driver support, its an RV370.....same chip as the x300's
[01:07] <root_demon> ActionParsnip: interesting idea. I'll do that. is it enough to stop the service or do you think I should restart after disabling it?
[01:07] <sebsebseb> guest17747: don't think so, but you can  get support for Ubuntu Netbook Remix in here
[01:07] <IpSe_DiXiT> Samus_Aran: dpkg: operation requires read/write access to dpkg status area --> thatz the output, am i missing a sudo here?
[01:08] <guest17747> ok, good to know
[01:08] <shinystar> guest17747: there is #kubuntu-netbook
[01:08] <guest17747> i just thought there may be a dedicated channel
[01:08] <guest17747> oh ok, that might be an option
[01:08] <guest17747> thanks
[01:08] <sebsebseb> guest17747: that's Kubuntu though KDE
[01:08] <sebsebseb> guest17747: not Gnome KDE
[01:08] <shinystar> ^ indeed
[01:08] <guest17747> right, thanks for clarifying
[01:08] <sebsebseb> shinystar: I didn't know that channel existed
[01:09] <sebsebseb> guest17747: above that was meant to say  not  Gnome/Ubuntu
[01:09] <ActionParsnip> root_demon: possibly make the power management not make the  sub flutter of and on
[01:09] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_DiXiT: sorry, yes, sudo.  my mistake
[01:09] <shinystar> there is a channel for every problem
[01:09] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_DiXiT: (I use a root account here, so often forget the sudos)
[01:09] <foey> mmmm, I just was running a XP VM in Virtual Box, it started to get slower and slower so closed Virtual box but yet my ram still stayed over 600mb, Ubuntu was almost unusable (slow) rebooted and now nice and quick. Memory leak?!
[01:09] <ActionParsnip> shinystar: there can be, the server supports channel spawning
[01:09] <root_demon> ActionParsnip: that's pretty tricky. hadn't thought of that. thanks much.
[01:09] <IpSe_DiXiT> Samus_Aran: command not found o_O
[01:10] <ActionParsnip> !bootoptions | root_demon
[01:10] <Samus_Aran> foey: next time things go screwy, just look at which processes are using the RAM
[01:10] <BWARG> any ideas about that mysql possible package problem i brought up earlier?
[01:10] <Samus_Aran> foey: most likely an app crashed and no longer was on your desktop, but was still running in a frozen state and using all the rAM
[01:10] <Samus_Aran> *RAM
[01:11] <Flannel> BWARG: "doesn't install correctly" meaning what?
[01:11] <foey> Samus_Aran : Yeh ill check that out, I did go to load it up but was taking ages to load,
[01:11] <Samus_Aran> foey: if you're in Gnome, turn on the CPU and memory monitors
[01:11] <xiong> Well, I tried KDE as an experiment; I'm sure whatever general comment I might make would be superficial. One annoying thing for me was that I could not figure out how to establish a network connection.
[01:11] <BWARG> it installs but when you try to use it it gives a socket error
[01:11] <foey> Samus_Aran : Got System monitor loaded now
[01:11] <BWARG> saying the socket file is not there
[01:11] <shinystar> ActionParsnip: channel spawning, you mean I can use openid to logon on differnt servers
[01:11] <IpSe_DiXiT> Samus_Aran: ok done, but look adobe-flashplugin (<IP_ADDRESS>-1) it's the same version i had...
[01:12] <BWARG> [sudo] password for adam:
[01:12] <BWARG> ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (111)
[01:12] <Samus_Aran> foey: if you click CPU meter, it will open up Gnome's task manager, and you can list the memory used by processes and sort it by largest to smallest
[01:12] <ActionParsnip> shinystar: you can join a nonexistant channel and it will be created and you will be the op
[01:12] <shinystar> ActionParsnip: and then?
[01:12] <BWARG> i was insisted upon that it was because i was using the karmic but then i reinstalled jaunty and it happened again
[01:12] <foey> Samus_Aran : Ok thanks, just booting up the vm now
[01:12] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_DiXiT: okay load up synaptic and do a search for flash plugin and see which one(s) it lists as being installed
[01:13] <Samus_Aran> foey: by the way, how much RAM on the system, and do you have swap enabled ?
[01:13] <BWARG> it was the first thing i installed after booting ...well after updates
[01:13] <ActionParsnip> shinystar: so their can be a help channel for anything you like
[01:13] <Flannel> BWARG: which command were you running when you got that error?
[01:13] <BWARG> mysql
[01:13] <joeb3_> BWARG, is mysql running?  netstat -an | grep 3306
[01:13] <BWARG> mysql -u root
[01:13] <BWARG> mysql anything
[01:14] <BWARG> sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start
[01:14] <foey> Samus_Aran : I have 768mb with a 1.6Gb Swap
[01:14] <shinystar> ActionParsnip: that's what I said. "there is a channel for every problem" that was no question btw. :)
[01:14] <foey> Samus_Aran : Not much but its not my main rig.
[01:14] <BWARG> sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart
[01:14] <BWARG> no mysql never was running
[01:15] <BWARG> ive checked already
[01:15] <smev81> hi, i want to do something simple, yet impossible. i want to embed my openoffice document to a tetex (lyx file.) I already know how to export to pdf and to ps. But how can i convert them to anything, that lyx knows (like jpg.) So my question is, how can i convert (pdf, ps or openoffice) to jpg?
[01:15] <BWARG> thats the sam cmd line i was given before when i was on karmic
[01:16] <BWARG> open in firefox and use an addon?
[01:16] <ActionParsnip> shinystar: sorry, thought there was
[01:16] <Flannel> smev81: You can embed ps and pdf into tex documents, include them with includegraphics
[01:16] <Samus_Aran> smev81: convert foo.ps -quality 99 example.jpg
[01:16] <IpSe_DiXiT> Samus_Aran: now Sybaptic shows adobe-flash-plugin as broken...
[01:16] <Evelina> shinystar: No, the code didnät work. Oh, this is sooo frustrating. Why isnät it just possible to get the title of web pages whitout strage characters showing up on some words.
[01:17] <smev81> Samus Aran, thank you. Do you have an idea for more than one page
[01:17] <shinystar> ActionParsnip: hey no problem, you may have acclimatized that every lin in irc is a problem xD
[01:18] <ActionParsnip> shinystar: in support channels its a fair assumption ;)
[01:18] <BWARG> ive done searches using the "site:" search parameter in the sun microsystems forum on google for the problem
[01:18] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_DiXiT: so there is adobe-flash-plugin and no other ones listed as installed ?  (remove any of them)
[01:18] <BWARG> nothing that showed up worked
[01:18] <BWARG> ive been working on this problem with people for days
[01:18] <IpSe_DiXiT> Samus_Aran: im "upgrading" from synaptic now
[01:18] <shinystar> ActionParsnip: indeed, you're right^
[01:18] <Flannel> BWARG: does 3306 showup in a netstat?
[01:18] <BWARG> no
[01:19] <Flannel> BWARG: try sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start
[01:19] <smev81> Samus Aran. Okay, it does automagically. gs didn't do that. Thank you. That saves me.
[01:19] <Flannel> BWARG: What error does that give you?
[01:19] <BWARG> i tried that already
[01:19] <Flannel> BWARG: no, you tried restart
[01:19] <BWARG> the same error
[01:19] <BWARG> i tried start too
[01:19] <Flannel> BWARG: What error was that?
[01:19] <BWARG> i didf stop then start

[01:20] <marcus_> hey, anyone know of a program or a way to view wubi partitions (root.disk) in windows (7 x64)
[01:20] <Flannel> smev81: You're better off skipping the rasterization, and just including them as graphics with includegraphics
[01:20] <IpSe_DiXiT> Samus_Aran: again, flash works, utube's watchable, not that other site though...
[01:21] <slawek> i am clicking on my MountManager shortcut and nothing happening. Any idea?
[01:21] <smev81> Flannel: i dont understand you. Can you explain that?
[01:21] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_DiXiT: by the sounds of it you have not managed to install Adobe's version of Flash yet, it's using the one that comes with Ubuntu still
[01:22] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_DiXiT: remove all versions of Flash and confirm that Firefox has no Flash plugin at all, by going to: about:plugins
[01:22] <IpSe_DiXiT> Samus_Aran: see that it says "If your browser allows only "trusted sites" to execute Javascript, you should add the "googleapis.com" domain to your whitelist to allow our Flash detection to work properly." that could be (Flash is correctly installed and appears in synaptic)
[01:22] <yuri_dragon_17> KingNimrod: I figured it out: it wasn't a boot disk. I grabbed the wrong one

[01:23] <slawek> i am clicking on my MountManager shortcut and nothing happening. Any idea?
[01:24] <IpSe_DiXiT> Samus_Aran: thatz what it was... i just had to allow "googleapis.com" in my whitelist and it worked!
[01:24] <smev81> Flannel: i thought so, too. But i am lazy, using lyx. Without using commands. I have made expiriences, where lyx won't reopen if i do anythin manually, but i will try it out on a safed copy. Thanks for the tip
[01:24] <Samus_Aran> does anyone know how to fix a broken dbus ?  I use /usr/bin/icewm as my window manager.  any app wanting to use dbus complains that it can't connect to a non-existent file in /tmp
[01:25] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_DiXiT: your whitelist of what ?  what blacklist are you using ?
[01:25] <IpSe_DiXiT> Samus_Aran: i block all the scripts
[01:26] <Pelo> Samus_Aran, try changing the permission to /tmp so anyone can access it

[01:29] <brianV> hi all, I am having an issue. I just bought a Geforce GTS250, and put it in my machine. It works fine with the 'nv' driver, but when I try to use Nvidia, I get a blank screen when starting X - no signal sent ot the monitor
[01:29] <foey> Can anyone recommend me a decent Gnome Backup manager?
[01:29] <Pelo> IpSe_DiXiT, check in ff in the addon dialog,  there is a tab for plugins,  uncheck the ones you don't want and restart
[01:29] <ActionParsnip> seil: its called super in linux ;)
[01:29] <Pelo> brianV, how are you installing the nvidia driver ?
[01:30] <ctmjr> brianV: how did you install the driver?
[01:30] <Evelina> I want to check if characters of a sentence are like [:aplha:], hor do I do that?
[01:30] <seil> ActionParsnip almost all new keyboards still have windows logo
[01:30] <Evelina> I'm trying to discover characters not alphabetic.
[01:30] <Voss> Imagine the liability waivers you would have to sign if microwave ovens had open source code and were hackable ;-)
[01:30] <ActionParsnip> seil: you can buy stickers and replacement keys
[01:30] <ActionParsnip> seil: optimus keyboard can be configured to display a tux ;)
[01:31] <KingNimrod> Voss: none
[01:31] <IpSe_DiXiT> Pelo: tried that already, but i cant find my way out of this
[01:31] <Pelo> Evelina, open it in openoffice.org and run a spellcheck ?
[01:31] <Evelina> Pelo: I want this to be a part of a bash script.
[01:31] <seil> ActionParsnip nice
[01:31] <Pelo> IpSe_DiXiT, are you thoguth of asking in #firefox ?
[01:31] <brianV> Pelo, ctmjr: Using the restricted drivers manager
[01:31] <Pelo> Evelina, out of my league
[01:31] <Evelina> Pelo: Therefore I want a bash script to check whatever the characters are [:alpha:] or not.
[01:32] <Pelo> BrianR___, then why are you playing around in xorg.conf ?
[01:32] <Evelina> Pelo: Ok
[01:32] <Pelo> brianV, why are you playing around in xorg.conf ?
[01:32] <CorpX> whats the best h264 decoder for ubuntu
[01:32] <brianV> Pelo: I am not
[01:32] <Pelo> Evelina, I trhink there is a #bash you might ask in
[01:32] <slaczware> Hello guys im using jaunty and my desktop sometimes get unresponsive i cant click on anything
[01:32] <Pelo> brianV, what with the nv vs nvidia then ?
[01:33] <brianV> Pelo: because I've been using nvidia cards for 10 years, and know the drivers
[01:33] <IpSe_DiXiT> Pelo: done, nothingapparently its a totem plugin issue
[01:33] <foey> slaczware : I had this problem a while back, it turned out to be the graphics card driver and res. I managed to get around it by dropping the colours to 15bit before I could install the correct driver
[01:33] <blackettle> Any windows/Ubuntu dual booters willing to send me their grub.conf file or atleast the Windows portion of it?
[01:33] <Pelo> IpSe_DiXiT, well , if I understood corectly that you need to get rid of the totem pluggin , I recommend you check in synaptic, and uninstall the totem-mozilla plugins, or whate ver it is called
[01:34] <brianV> Pelo: any suggestions? Or just an accusation?
[01:34] <slaczware> foey: ok thx, how often did this problem accure to you?
[01:34] <Pelo> brianV, ok I'M a bit confused,  you install the driver using the restricted driver manager and it works, then you cange nv for nvidia and it stops working , why are you changing nv for nvidia ( or the other way aroudn)
[01:35] <MTec007> if the boot logs are not stored in /var/log/boot then where can i find them?
[01:35] <foey> slaczware : Not 100% of the time but quite frequent. Normally once it had just booted up. I could click the application button then nothing else?! Very strange.
[01:35] <Pelo> brianV, I'M not making accusations, I'm just trying to understand the problem , I'm helping several ppl and doing my own stuff as well , I thought I understood your issue but clearly I don'T
[01:35] <brianV> Pelo: Ubuntu has nv to begin with, right? if I install the nvidia driver with the restricted driver manager, I can't boot into X. I need to boot in recovermode, select the 'fix X graphics' or whatever link, then I can log in again
[01:36] <brianV> Pelo: my apologies. I guess it's hard to judge intent across an IRC chat line
[01:36] <KingNimrod> brianV: just use the drivers that work for you?
[01:36] <Pelo> brianV, ahhhhh.
[01:36] <IpSe_DiXiT> Pelo: i dunno what i need to do, i think so, but im not sure
[01:36] <Pelo> IpSe_DiXiT, hold on
[01:36] <brianV> KingNimrod: because the ones that work don't have 3d support?
[01:36] <slaczware> foey: same here, are you using a ATI card?
[01:36] <KingNimrod> brianV: have you tried using envyng?
[01:37] <SGottl7227> can someone message me on how to set up a usb dial up modem..
[01:37] <brianV> KingNimrod: yes, with much the same effect
[01:37] <KingNimrod> brianV: that's how I got my 9600gt working
[01:37] <foey> slaczware : No, on that machine is was a Matrox G200 card. I've had simlar issues with ATi Cards in the past tho. I've always stuck with Nvidia with Ubuntu/Linux
[01:37] <Pelo> brianV, your card may not be supported with the driver you are trying to use, try to select the 173 or the 96 one
[01:38] <Prohibited> lol
[01:38] <stepomaticc> blackettle: http://paste.debian.net/47789
[01:38] <brianV> Pelo: perhaps not. EnvyNG suggests the 180 driver supports it, though
[01:38] <Prohibited> someones at work :P!
[01:38] <brianV> Pelo: it's a GTS250, so I am pretty sure 180 does it
[01:38] <ubuntu-the-best> i need help with GRUB
[01:38] <slaczware> foey: yeah I also always use nvidia but on this laptop it's a ati card
[01:38] <Pelo> IpSe_DiXiT, ok menu > system > admin > synaptic package manager,  do a search for "totem mozilla" right click the package, select uninstall/remove , apply and see if that works
[01:39] <brianV> Pelo, I am on 64-bit - would that change anything?
[01:39] <ubuntu-the-best> is there anyone who knows how to use grub>>>
[01:39] <foey> slaczware : :-( Try another driver, although first switch the colours down to 15bit. This helped for me.
[01:39] <IpSe_DiXiT> Pelo: i knew how to do that :D i was just wondering if it was the right thing to do :D
[01:39] <Pelo> brianV, I don'T know what works on what off the top of my head,  you might want to take a look on the nvidia.com website,
[01:40] <Pelo> brianV, my neighbour also has an issue with the nvidia drivers this was cause by her crappy mobo , with an via chipset on it
[01:40] <ubuntu-the-best> Please, someone help me with grub. I don't understand it at all.
[01:40] <mgv2> why does the english xchat spell checker goes away when i change my system language?
[01:40] <Pelo> IpSe_DiXiT, if itdoesn'T work or cause trouble you can just put it back , no harm no foul
[01:40] <brianV> Pelo: hm... this mobo worked in the past with a Geforce 7300 GS
[01:40] <Pelo> ubuntu-the-best, what is the problem what do you need to fix ?
[01:41] <Pelo> brianV, I'M just brainstroming here
[01:41] <O__o> is there any softwares in ubuntu allow me to draw figures for highschool?
[01:41] <ubuntu-the-best> i am trying to install Solaris on my desktop
[01:41] <O__o> like sphere, cone, pyramid?
[01:41] <Pelo> brianV, might also want to ask in #nvidia
[01:41] <O__o> pie chats and stuffs?
[01:41] <ubuntu-the-best> i put in the disk and grub comes up
[01:41] <brianV> Pelo: it's truly appreciated. I am just evaluating the suggestions as the come out
[01:41] <IpSe_DiXiT> Perlo: to be honest id love to uninstall it and put VLC plugin as a default player for firefox, can i do that?
[01:41] <Pelo> !enter | O__o
[01:41] <IpSe_DiXiT> Pelo: to be honest id love to uninstall it and put VLC plugin as a default player for firefox, can i do that?
[01:41] <ctmjr> brianV: try the newer driver from nvidia 185  http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_amd64_185.18.36.html disable the restricted driver first tho
[01:41] <slaczware> foey: hahah now i'm completely stuck in the terminal cant do anything :D :D :D
[01:41] <Pelo> IpSe_DiXiT, look in synaptic , see if it is possible
[01:42] <brianV> ctmjr: ok, that's my next step
[01:42] <ubuntu-the-best> i don't know a thing about grub lol
[01:42] <foey> slaczware : Why is that? Can you startx?

[01:42] <Pelo> ubuntu-the-best, you need to boot from the disc to do the installation , you 'll want to change the device boot order in your bios
[01:43] <ActionParsnip> Pupuuuuu: +1
[01:43] <ubuntu-the-best> Pelo: I did. I even tried it on a virtual machine. It's Solaris that is forcing me into a built in grub on the installation disk
[01:43] <Pelo> O__o, check in menu > applications > add/remove ,  look under the graphics senctions, or educationnal
[01:44] <Pelo> ubuntu-the-best, if the built in grub is on the install disc that is fine,  you just pick the installer from that grub
[01:44] <eaglestar> hi my friend could not remember his password for ubuntu, logged in as guest, typed some documents, saved them, now he can't find them.  where would they be located?
[01:44] <Pelo> ubuntu-the-best, the best place to ask about this would be in a solaris chatroom
[01:44] <brianV> ctmjr: with a 64-bit OS, should I be downloading the AMD64 driver, or IA64?
[01:44] <ubuntu-the-best> Pelo: how do I do that. It doesn't give me the usual menu. I have to write commads
[01:44] <Pelo> eaglestar, guest documents are not saved
[01:45] <ActionParsnip> brianV: same thing
[01:45] <Pelo> ubuntu-the-best, that is a question for a solaris channel , not for ubuntu , it is their install system you are having problems with
[01:45] <eaglestar> so is there any way to find the homework he wrote for school?
[01:45] <ctmjr> brianV: the AMD64 driver
[01:45] <ubuntu-the-best> i know, Solaris gets on my nerve because of that. I have ubuntustudio on my laptop and it is very user frindly.
[01:45] <Pelo> eaglestar, it's gone
[01:45] <D-rew> Wicked sick
[01:45] <archae0pteryx> I am using a desktop remotely with nx and I can't get access to USB drives automatically, they do not show up on my desktop.  Any ideas?
[01:45] <marcus_> ActionParsnip: thanks for the link bro
[01:45] <archae0pteryx> They are mounted
[01:45] <SGottl7227> how do i set up a usb dial up..
[01:45] <marcus_> appreciate it, pz :)
[01:45] <ubuntu-the-best> Pelo: do you know where I can go to the <<Solaris>> channel?
[01:46] <ActionParsnip> marcus_: np man
[01:46] <foey> Is there anyway once ubuntu starts up to enable the VNC server to allow VNC access before the machine has logged on
[01:46] <xiong> "N packages will be held back and not upgraded." <-- This suggests to me I've done something wrong. What?
[01:46] <Pelo> ubuntu-the-best, there is a #solaris channel on this network , try there , just type  /join #solaris
[01:48] <Pelo> g'night folks
[01:48] <ubuntu-the-best> Thank you Pelo. Let me try the UNIX guys
[01:48] <jordy240> !hi jordy240
[01:48] <ctmjr> eaglestar: did he log out yet or is he still logged in?
[01:48] <steven__> The default keyring keeps popping up when I try to use Evolution or Thunderbird! Heck, even when I try to connect to wireless it comes up...why is this happening and how do I prevent it? To my knowledge, I never set a password or passphrase for a keyring
[01:49] <eaglestar> ctmjr he logged out already
[01:49] <Samus_Aran> steven__: it's buggy as all hell.  my father's computer got that constantly.  all I figured out is to erase the key and hope it doesn't screw up again in future
[01:49] <KingNimrod> eaglestar: think your friend might be boned :(
[01:50] <steven__> Is this going to be fixed with Ubuntu 9.10?
[01:50] <eaglestar> KingNimrod thanks for the help guys
[01:50] <steven__> How do I erase the key?
[01:50] <xiong> eaglestar, Sorry, too late now. But suggest you set up regular user accounts for your friends. If they don't use them, they don't incur much overhead; you can leave them on your machine indefinitely. And if you create them with appropriate permissions, there's very little security risk.
[01:50] <Samus_Aran> eaglestar: what filesystem ?
[01:50] <brianV> how do I kill the X session so I can install the driver?
[01:50] <Samus_Aran> eaglestar: you can restore files easily on Ext2/3
[01:51] <Samus_Aran> brianV: first off get comfortable with switching to the text mode and logging in.  I recommend running irssi from there so you can ask questions
[01:51] <brianV> Sakarias: I can do that
[01:51] <steven__> How do I delete, disable or get rid of the key ring?
[01:51] <Samus_Aran> brianV: Ctrl+Alt+F1 through F6 will take you to a text mode login, Ctrl+Alt+F7 should take you back to X
[01:51] <brianV> Samus_Aran: oops, meant you - I can do that. Telinit 3 just doesn't seem to work
[01:52] <brianV> Samus_Aran: the X server needs to be down to install the nvidia driver
[01:52] <Samus_Aran> brianV: once there, use /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[01:52] <MBD123_> Is it possible to install ttf files on Ubuntu?
[01:52] <Samus_Aran> brianV: with sudo if you're not root
[01:52] <ring0> is there a cli command for comparing two files?

[01:53] <joshua__> i pressed the super key + r by accident, how do i zoom back out?
[01:53] <skeet_> Can someone help me configure my wireless card?
[01:53] <shawn_> Hmm if I wrote a function and put in on a Blackberry to use for Math how could I run a Python script off it?
[01:53] <Samus_Aran> joshua__: it's not Super+R again ?
[01:53] <MBD123_> thanks
[01:54] <joshua__> Samus_Aran, no
[01:54] <Samus_Aran> joshua__: Super+Shift+R ?  I don't know it off-hand in my head.  if needs be you can open up the Compiz advanced settings window and find the shortcut there, or disable it
[01:55] <jordy240> !hi
[01:55] <ctmjr> eaglestar: sorry but after he logged out the temp file gets deleted i know of no way to get it back
[01:55] <joshua__> errr...
[01:55] <jordy240> !hi jordy240
[01:55] <Samus_Aran> joshua__: "ccsm" for the Compiz settings manager.  you may need to first: sudo apt-get install simple-ccsm
[01:56] <Joelito> opinions: which is faster ubuntu or Kubuntu? I'd like to know people opinions who install in same machine both systems, please.
[01:56] <eaglestar> my friend knows nothing about ubuntu where should he begin reading?
[01:56] <Samus_Aran> !hi | jordy240

[01:56] <mrwes> er
[01:56] <Samus_Aran> eaglestar: the only different between them is the *default* installed desktop environment (Gnome or KDE, respectively).  there's nothing stopping you from installing and using either, or both, or neither
[01:57] <mrwes> eaglestar, and Google of course :)
[01:57] <Samus_Aran> *difference

[02:18] <stepomaticc> MTec007: above is really big :0
[02:18] <talkhouli> Flannel, well, I am trying to get a new version of a software, i thought i will find it under testing or unstable
[02:18] <MasterofPuppets> Could someone help me devise a script for my desktop icons where they don't have that selection glow over them?

[02:19] <Samus_Aran> so why does Ubuntu have a "busybox" package which is *not* statically compiled ?  I can't envision any use for such a thing.  I installed it before trying something with a shared library folder, as I figured there was a possibility that it could cause problems... and it did... and now I can't run busybox either
[02:19] <Prohibited> Anyone mind helping me? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1278622 (World of Warcraft + Wine)
[02:19] <IdleOne> talkhouli: never mind what ubottu just sent you. what application are you looking for?
[02:19] <fearful> Does anyone know a way I could at least view my blackberry's media content when connecting my phone via USB?
[02:19] <Flannel> talkhouli: No, Ubuntu doesn't do a rolling release, to get newer versions, you just Upgrade from one release (Intrepid/8.10) to the next (Jaunty/9.04)
[02:20] <vercinaigh> Hey anyone got a minute to help me with something? PM me if someone can
[02:20] <talkhouli> IdleOne, lyx
[02:20] <talkhouli> Flannel, why does synaptic offer that option then?
[02:20] <IdleOne> vercinaigh: ask in here so we can all benefit :)
[02:20] <Flannel> talkhouli: Which option?
[02:20] <ryguy> vercinaigh: yeah ask in here
[02:20] <fearful> I get a mount problem, no media to mount when I try to connect the phone.

[02:22] <Prohibited> Be back soon,
[02:22] <talkhouli> Flannel, under Software Sources>Third-part you can check pre-released and unsupported. I did that and i got errors when I  tried to apt-get update afterwards.

[02:23] <Sirisian> okay I asked this before, but I'm still curious. How long does it normally take to compile the ubuntu kernel? I've been compiling it for like 3 hours now :\
[02:23] <Samus_Aran> Sirisian: what CPU / RAM ?
[02:23] <dragon> Sirisian: what's your system configuration?
[02:23] <Samus_Aran> Sirisian: and did you use make -j 4 ?
[02:23] <KingNimrod> Sirisian: depends on lots of different factors
[02:24] <Sirisian> CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=2 AUTOBUILD=1 fakeroot debian/rules binary-debs
[02:24] <talkhouli> dragon, Flannel, IdleOne : Is it safe to add the repository of 9.04 on 8.10 and use apt pinning to get the new version of Lyx?
[02:24] <ryguy> Hey, I had rhythmbox automatically popup when I put in my ipod, now I want it to ask me what I want to open with again when I put in my ipod. How do I do this?
[02:24] <Flannel> talkhouli: Not really, no.  You shouldn't mix repositories.  You should consider upgrading, or you may be able to manually backport Lyx, let me take a look at it.
[02:25] <Sirisian> Samus_Aran, I was kind of just looking for a general range. I have a duo 1.83 ghz 2 cores and 1 GB of ram.
[02:25] <jrib> Sirisian: you're building multiple kernels with that command
[02:25] <Sirisian> jrib, oh really? whoops
[02:25] <magikid> ryguy: Open a folder (any folder) and go Edit->Preferences->Media->Music Player
[02:25] <jrib> Sirisian: yeah probably want just generic
[02:25] <jrib> *you*
[02:26] <jrib> Sirisian: go to sleep and check in the morning :)
[02:26] <Sirisian> jrib, CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=2 AUTOBUILD=1 NOEXTRAS=1 fakeroot debian/rules binary-generic ?
[02:26] <ryguy> magikid: Ahh yes, thank you very much
[02:26] <Flannel> talkhouli: Oh, seems Lyx has been backported to intrepid.    You put it on a thumbdrive with dd (it's .img)
[02:28] <KingNimrod> ubunturemix: sounds like a corrupted dl to me
[02:28] <onox> jono: when are you going to change your hackergotchi on pgo?
[02:28] <queso_> How do I find out my current network gateway IP?
[02:28] <ubunturemix> KingNimrod: why corrupted?
[02:28] <ubunturemix> Flannel: so, should I just burn it like any .iso?
[02:28] <jrib> !kernel > Sirisian
[02:28] <jrib> Sirisian: I don't know offhand.  Why are you building it anyway?
[02:28] <office> dumont: route -n
[02:28] <stepomaticc> queso_: netstat -rn
[02:28] <CokeNCode> guys, i've got a huge problem. I've created a thumb drive to boot from. Set it to save changes to the reserved section of the thumb drive. Yet, when I reboot the system, nothing is saved. Anyone have any suggestions?
[02:28] <magikid> queso_: ifconfig -a
[02:28] <fearful> Is there a way to configure BlackBerry desktop manager with wine?
[02:28] <talkhouli> Flannel, I added intrepid-backports universe, did apt-get update, tried to get lyx but still it says it's up-to-date.
[02:29] <CokeNCode> this is ubuntu 9.04
[02:29] <Flannel> ubunturemix: no, it won't fit on a disc, you need a 1GB usb drive, and then use dd.  Or, that's what I believe is the proper procedure
[02:29] <brianV> ok, so it looks like this new GTS250 I bought is a paperweight. The drivers just plain old don't work
[02:29] <queso_> stepomaticc, magikid: thanks!
[02:29] <ubunturemix> Flannel: I got a dvd
[02:29] <fearful> I got it to run just won't recognize my phone.
[02:29] <Sirisian> jrib, oh I have an operating systems course so I'll be editing the kernel and building it a lot so I wanted to do a first initial build. My professor told us to.
[02:29] <Flannel> talkhouli: Please pastebin the output of apt-cache policy lyx
[02:29] <Flannel> ubunturemix: ah.  I don't know how you might burn it to a CD
[02:29] <jrib> Sirisian: ah, cool
[02:29] <ctmjr> brianV: did you install the drivers from nvidia?
[02:30] <CokeNCode> man, this bites. This worked fine with the previous versions of ubuntu ... arghhhhhhhh
[02:30] <KingNimrod> ubunturemix: isn't it a .img not a .iso?
[02:30] <balzac> hello
[02:30] <brianV> ctmjr: yep. Same issue - once X tried to start, monitor lost signal, the fan on the card shut off, and the system was unresponsive
[02:30] <KingNimrod> ubunturemix: .img is for flash drives
[02:30] <brianV> ctmjr: same as when I attemp it through envyng and the restricted driver manager
[02:30] <ubunturemix> KingNimrod: damn
[02:30] <balzac> I'm trying to use "remote desktop" but I'm having trouble making my computer available outside the local network.

[02:31] <cdonke> hello.. does anyone can give a really quick help on iptables?? it might be silly, but i'm getting nuts with it...
[02:31] <CokeNCode> guys, can't anyone help. This has to be a problem that other people have faced
[02:32] <jrib> CokeNCode: some of us would try to help.  But you need to state the problem for that to happen
[02:32] <CokeNCode> guys, i've got a huge problem. I've created a thumb drive to boot from. Set it to save changes to the reserved section of the thumb drive. Yet, when I reboot the system, nothing is saved. Anyone have any suggestions?
[02:32] <ctmjr> brianV: join #nvidia channel and see if someone in there can help you have to many drivers installed and envyng is bad
[02:32] <CokeNCode> the changes i make aren't persistent
[02:32] <talkhouli> Flannel, http://paste.ubuntu.com/281777/
[02:32] <CokeNCode> I'm reading now that changes have been made and i need to mess about to get it to work
[02:32] <cdonke> i've read tons of sites and stuff, but it's not working... have to redirect all incomes from public ip, port 1235 to ip <IP_ADDRESS>:1235
[02:33] <CokeNCode> why why why would they mess with it and make it harder ... jeeze
[02:33] <brianV> ctmjr: I am in there now. Can't raise a soul though, think they are all asleep :p
[02:33] <jrib> !usb | CokeNCode

[02:35] <cort> hi!
[02:36] <ctmjr> brianV: yea that channels is pretty funny you either get alot of help or none first thing i would do is remove envyng unistall the restricted driver and the nvidia driver and reinstall the nvidia driver from their web site
[02:36] <brohism> Hi there, I'm having trouble with my network interfaces.  I made some changes today, things didn't work, and I put them back to what I thought they were before
[02:36] <cort> anyone here familiar with eucalyptus?
[02:36] <PMantis> I see some instructions on the Ubuntu Wiki that says:   "zcat remixusb.gz | sudo tee /dev/sdc1 >/dev/null"  Now, if you redirect to /dev/null, WHY bother with tee? I don't get it.
[02:36] <brianV> ctmjr: that is what I just did. I removed all the nvidia* packages prior to installing from the website
[02:36] <brohism> When I try to ping, it is very laggy, and even trying to terminate it with ctrl+c causes it to hang for 15-20 seconds
[02:37] <Flannel> PMantis: Because you want it to go to sdc1, you're redirecting the output from the display.
[02:37] <Kryo> hello everyone
[02:37] <Bluey> howdy
[02:37] <ctmjr> brianV: sudo apt-get --purge remove envyng
[02:37] <ryguy> How do I connect a sensorbar to the computer to control my mouse with the wiimote as described in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CWiiD
[02:37] <Kryo> any one know of a fix for the slow USB tranfers in 9.04?
[02:38] <Flannel> ryguy: The sensor bar is just two IR leds, you need bluetooth to connect the wiimote to your computer.
[02:38] <cort> Anyone can help me here? I installed my own cloud with eucalyptus and when I type euca-describe-availability-zones verbose I don't see any nodes :(
[02:38] <Bluey> kryo - I've had no issues with usb transfers - what kind/type of device?
[02:38] <PMantis> Flannel: Why not "zcat remixusb.gz > /dev/sdc1"  ?  No piping to tee, so nothing on display to get rid of that requires /dev/null...
[02:38] <balsaqgoingforit> running 9.04 just popped the xubuntu disc in for fun now says would i like to open it with the package manager? what is going on wanted to dual partition it?
[02:38] <ryguy> So I can just turn my wii on and move the sensor bar to under my monitor?
[02:38] <Ben64> sensor bar is really an inaccurate name for it
[02:38] <brianV> ctmjr: the fact that the same bug occurs regardless of which form of the driver I try makes me wonder if it's something system-specific
[02:38] <brianV> ctmjr: ie, a hardware issue of some sort
[02:38] <Ben64> ryguy: yeah, or make your own sensor bar
[02:39] <Kryo> Bluey: I am using a USB card reader with a micri SD card, and transfers are really slow
[02:39] <ubox> how are the intel gma chipsets with ubuntu?
[02:39] <ryguy> alright thats all i needed to know =) thanks
[02:39] <Bluey> kyro I have a similar setup
[02:39] <Ben64> ubox: i've had no problems with em
[02:39] <talkhouli> Flannel, for some reason i had things word differently now, it seems i had something wrong with sources.list. Anyhow, now after another apt-get update i am getting the following cache policy for lyx: http://paste.ubuntu.com/281785/
[02:39] <KingNimrod> ubox: good on my old netbook
[02:39] <Bluey> kyro how are you tranferring the files?
[02:39] <ubox> ben64: 3d works out of the box?
[02:39] <Dunlevy> Hello.
[02:39] <xiong> System Monitor tells me that Apache is running 4 distinct processes consuming a total of over 10 Mb of memory, even though to my knowledge, I haven't actually configured a web server. What now?
[02:39] <Ben64> ubox: does for me, which model number?
[02:40] <KingNimrod> ubox: yes compiz runs okay
[02:40] <Flannel> PMantis: because you can't sudo ">"
[02:40] <ubox> looking to get a new laptop to replace my old powerbook
[02:40] <Kryo> through a USB cable  just copy and paste
[02:40] <talkhouli> Flannel, I used apt-get install lyx and it didn't upgrade, should i use: apt-get upgrade lyx?
[02:40] <ctmjr> brianV: could be do you have another os installed so you can check the card
[02:40] <Flannel> talkhouli: That's good.  apt-get install lyx should upgrade it.
[02:40] <ubox> ben64: not sure just yet, but the cheaper laptops mostly have gma sets
[02:40] <ryguy> also, can I update gnome to 2.28 without installing karmic (I'm afraid of bugs)
[02:40] <Ben64> i have the GMA950, dunno how ubuntu works on the better ones
[02:40] <PMantis> Flannel: Ahhhhh
[02:40] <CokeNCode> this is bloody useless.... jeeze n ages ... why have all these frikking options that don't work!
[02:40] <balzac> I'm getting this error: "Your desktop is only reachable over the local network."
[02:40] <balzac> Trying to use remote desktop
[02:40] <brianV> ctmjr: unfortunately, no. However, I got this card to replace a GeForce 7300 which had been doing the same thing
[02:41] <PMantis> Flannel: So it's just a trick to make the line sudo compatible... ok, Thanks!
[02:41] <Kryo> Bluey , I'm using a USB cable and just copy and paste the files from the card to my desktop
[02:41] <talkhouli> Flannel, apt-get install lyx is still not doing it. should i go for apt-get upgrade lyx?
[02:41] <Ben64> what is lyx?
[02:41] <Flannel> PMantis: Right.  You convert > to | sudo tee and >> to | sudo tee -a
[02:41] <Dunlevy> I need a little help extracting something via Terminal.
[02:42] <hadi> guys , when the swap partition works ?
[02:42] <ubox> thanks for the input, now i know i don't need to get an nvidia or ati card
[02:42] <Flannel> talkhouli: "sudo apt-get install lyx" should do it, unless it tells you that Lyx is already at the newest version.
[02:42] <Ben64> Dunlevy: what file
[02:42] <Ben64> !info lyx
[02:42] <talkhouli> Flannel, it tells me it's at the newest version.
[02:42] <Flannel> Ben64: It's a GUI LaTeX thing
[02:42] <Flannel> talkhouli: alright, and then the policy gives you what?
[02:42] <Dunlevy> Ben64: Thanks for the reply, a tar.bz2
[02:43] <Dunlevy> I'm brand new to Linux but I'm having fun learning.
[02:43] <Ben64> Dunlevy: tar xjfv [file].tar.bz2
[02:43] <Flannel> ryguy: Sure.  The connection from te wii to the sensor bar is just for power.
[02:43] <talkhouli> Flannel, no change, the same as the last one i pasted: http://paste.ubuntu.com/281785/

[02:44] <Ben64> !paste
[02:44] <Flannel> talkhouli: Hmm.  Alright, sure, try apt-get update.  Although, the fact that "candidate" is listed as 5.6 instead of 6.1 is reason to think that won't work.  Did you fiddle with your apt_preferences or anything?
[02:44] <U-b-u-n-t-u> ty

[02:45] <hadi> guys , when the swap partition works ?
[02:45] <SGottl7227> yes i have a dial up usb modem
[02:45] <Dunlevy> Thanks all, I'm now using the sudo command which I should've in the first place. It's asking me for my password but not letting me enter it. Or it's just not displaying characters as I type it. Is the latter the case?
[02:45] <jrib> hadi: when the kernel thinks it's a good idea
[02:45] <jrib> Dunlevy: no, you shouldn't be doing this...
[02:45] <ctmjr> brianV: what does the output of sudo  nvidia-xconfig give you if anything
[02:45] <U-b-u-n-t-u> I am getting his update error http://paste.ubuntu.com/281790/

[02:45] <Prohibited> somethings wrong..
[02:45] <hadi> jrib : i have 2 gb ram and 3 gb swap so i got 5 gb virtual memory ?
[02:46] <ryguy> What's easier to develop gtk applications in, C, C++, or Python?
[02:46] <Ben64> Dunlevy: looks like they have a repo you could use instead of tar.bz2
[02:46] <Prohibited> Whenever I try to left-click using my USB mouse, nothing happens.
[02:46] <jrib> Dunlevy: it's clear you aren't comfortable using ubuntu yet and what you are doing doesn't sound like the right way to do whatever it is you are doing.  Why not just tell us what you want to do?
[02:46] <Ben64> http://www.lotrolinux.com/download.php
[02:46] <slhommed> Dunlevy: the characters won't show up when typing in your password
[02:46] <brianV> ctmjr: that doesn't work, because I no longer have the driver installed
[02:46] <brianV> ctmjr: if the driver is installed, I can't boot into X
[02:46] <Dunlevy> jrib: Getting Dungeons & Dragons Online to work with WINE.
[02:46] <talkhouli> Flannel, God! Yes. I thought i deleted the file but it was there all the time. Not it works!
[02:46] <jrib> hadi: I think virtual memory is used to refer to swap but I could be wrong..
[02:46] <talkhouli> Flannel, Now it works.
[02:47] <Dunlevy> I'm following a set of instructions I found on AppDB.
[02:47] <Dunlevy> And it worked now, thanks.
[02:47] <hadi> ugh :0 ok !! GUYS be nice to jrib he's helping everyone ! thanks jrib ^_^ have a nice day or night
[02:47] <zenlunatic> jrib: yup
[02:48] <talkhouli> Flannel, a related question, in my preferences file i set the highest priority for stable, for Package: *. Now that i have intrepid-backports should i keep that to be safe or backports are safe?
[02:49] <Flannel> talkhouli: Backports are safe 'enough'?  They're not tested as much, because fewer people use them.  But they aren't untested.
[02:50] <Flannel> talkhouli: Backports are only made for select programs though, so it's not like libc6 is going to get updated or anything
[02:50] <Voss> dun, what version of wine are you using?
[02:51] <talkhouli> Flannel, Aha. So If I want only selected programs to be downloaded from backports, is there a way to do that using apt pinning?
[02:51] <ctmjr> brianV: if you can get a gui with the nv driver then the system is working it's the nvidia drivers that are messing you up i do not know what to tell you other than keep checking in #nvidia for help
[02:52] <brianV> ctmjr: ok, well, I'll keep trying in there. Thanks for the help!
[02:52] <Flannel> talkhouli: The easiest way to do it is to enable -backports, install the program updates, then disable backports.
[02:53] <talkhouli> Flannel, Ok! Thanks of your help!
[02:55] <xiong> Okay, I'm running out of time. How do I create an archive in segments small enough to burn to DVD-R?
[02:55] <CorpX> u have winrar installed?
[02:56] <mun> hi
[02:56] <mun> is there another console-based browser like lynx that can layout columns of tables rather than breaking columns up into new lines?
[02:56] <xiong> According to the docs, a tarball won't do it.
[02:56] <xiong> CorpX, I think maybe not. There's no option for .rar when I try to create the archive.
[02:56] <xiong> Is that what I need?
[02:56]  * xiong looks
[02:57] <CorpX> its a split archive using winrar
[02:57] <CorpX> if thats what u want
[02:57] <mrbook> Ibn virtual box how do I uncapture  a  USB device
[02:57] <CorpX> but u can specify the size of each piece
[02:57] <EricTheHax> Help! a kid got on and deleted a bunch of vital parts of my apps menu!
[02:58] <EricTheHax> is there a noob fix?
[02:58] <sebsebseb> !panels |  EricTheHax
[02:58] <CorpX> cntrl-z ?
[02:58] <xiong> CorpX, 'winrar' doesn't hit in Synaptic but p7zip does
[02:58] <jrib> EricTheHax: right click on the ubuntu icon > edit menu
[02:59] <CorpX> im sure most of the archive programs can create split archives
[02:59] <jrib> !unrar | xiong, CorpX
[02:59] <mrbook> In virtual box how do I uncapture  a  USB device
[02:59] <xiong> jrib, What do you think about p7zip?
[02:59] <xiong> That's free-beer-free.
[02:59] <CorpX> i stick with winrar for .rar since its their format and all
[03:00] <jrib> xiong: why not just use "split"?
[03:00] <xiong> Um well, I hope to avoid anything Windoz.
[03:00] <Ben64> unrar works fine
[03:00] <wall-e_> can anyone help me with getting divx/xvid avi files to play on ubuntu 9.04?
[03:00] <xiong> jrib, Sorry, I don't know what that is.
[03:00] <Ben64> !medibuntu
[03:00] <EricTheHax> now i dont have any panels my parents are yellin 4 me to go to bed
[03:00] <eross> is vrml still alive?
[03:00] <jrib> xiong: it's a command that splits files up into pieces
[03:00] <xiong> Ben64, I'm not trying to un anything; I want to create an archive.
[03:00] <Ben64> well then use rar
[03:01] <Prohibited> xiong: You can use sudo apt-get install rar and unrar, then you can use the built-in program that Ubuntu has to extract files to extract RARs
[03:01] <xiong> What's the objection to p7zip?
[03:01] <wall-e_> it sounds stupid but iv been using ubuntu sense 8.04 and for some reason 9.04 just crashs when i play movies??
[03:01] <EricTheHax> i tried running gnome-panels but it wont start it?

[03:01] <EricTheHax> *gnome-panel
[03:02] <CorpX> i have a athlon xp 2000+ system running ubuntu... is that good enough to use as a HTPC to play h264 files?
[03:02] <EricTheHax> how do i get my panels back
[03:02] <xiong> jrib, Nothing does what I want. I want a straightforward backup utility that does regular backups to hard disk and weeklies to DVD-R; I want a GUI and I want some indication of progress and completion. Well, I'm not going to complain about it; I'm going to make do with what I've got.
[03:03] <snack_> anyone here that may want to share some ideas related to a black screen boot up without errors and only occurs when extra ram is installed?
[03:03] <Ben64> CorpX: i
[03:03] <jrib> xiong: split will break up any file you want into pieces which you can combine later using cat
[03:03] <jrib> !backups > xiong
[03:03] <Ben64> CorpX: i'd say probably not, depends on res, but x264 takes a LOT of cpu, and xp2000+ doesn't have it
[03:03] <jrib> xiong: check there though I don't know of anything doing everything you want
[03:04] <EricTheHax> how do i get my panels back plz help
[03:04] <EricTheHax> i ran the command u told me but now i have no panels
[03:04] <eross> Eric - if it
[03:05] <eross> if it's not permanent, log out and back on?
[03:05] <Prohibited> Is there any way I can find the IP of a network I was recently connected to without connecting to the network
[03:05] <EricTheHax> i knew it wouldnt automatically restart the gnome-panel stuff >_>
[03:05] <Shawn-> Hmm what would be the easiest add on for Python to use for creating a window to create a Hang Man game in?
[03:05] <Dunlevy> Does anyone know where the 'application launcher' is?
[03:05] <xiong> jrib, Thank you but it's a little late. I've spent hours comparing and trying out backup utilities. Now I'm committed. I have made the snapshot, now I meant to archive it in pieces and burn. Can you suggest how much margin I should allow on the segment size? Seems risky to go all the way to 4.7 Gb.
[03:06] <test34> Dunlevy, alt-f2?
[03:06] <EricTheHax> how do i log out with no panels
[03:06] <EricTheHax> without rebooting
[03:06] <Dunlevy> I think that's exactly what I needed, thanks test34.
[03:06] <jrib> xiong: don't know (I always leave quite a bit to be safe...)
[03:06] <snack_> ctrl+alt+backspace?
[03:06] <magikid> EricTheHax: Ctrl-Alt-Delete
[03:06] <EricTheHax> thx snack
[03:06] <test34> np Dunlevy
[03:07] <EricTheHax> crap didnt work ctrl+alt+del gives me shutdown
[03:07] <magikid> EricTheHax: Sorry, thought log out was on that menu

[03:07] <Shawn-> Is using beginning with GUIs going to be hard to do?
[03:07] <jrib> xiong: by the way, partimage does what you want except it images your entire drive :)
[03:07] <n8tuser> ctrl + alt + backspace
[03:07] <Shawn-> If I alredy know the basics
[03:07] <xiong> jrib, I'll defer to your best guess. 4.6 Gb segments?
[03:08] <jrib> xiong: that should work
[03:08] <snack_> told him so =P
[03:08] <xiong> I gotta do something before they turn out the lights.
[03:09] <snack_> hmm
[03:09] <xiong> That's it; now I'm annoyed. "An error occurred while adding files to the archive." Doesn't say what error or on what file. I may never get a good burn.
[03:10] <xiong> I *will* figure it out.
[03:10] <jrib> xiong: check out the note here: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Backup_to_DVD#Break_with_Split
[03:10] <snack_> if your computer-screen goes black when u startup your computer at one point and the only thing you'we done is install an extra ram, then the ram is the cause. But if it would be broken should there not be errors of some sort?
[03:11] <xiong> jrib, I'm not going about this the right way. My fault. I should not have done a disk-to-disk backup first, then tried to burn that. Who knows what's going on.
[03:11] <magikid> EricTheHax: at the command line: gnome-session-save --force-logout

[03:12] <qnet03> chating
[03:13] <xiong> snack_, I might not jump to that conclusion. Remove the new memory and confirm.
[03:14] <xiong> If you still think it's the new memory, see if you can run with only the new memory -- substitute it for the old. Perhaps the issue lies with how much total mem, not with any given bit. That said, you may well be right.
[03:14] <snack_> xiong: I've tried removing it and it does the trick. It starts like it should. I just think it's odd that the computer shows no errors, just a black screen.
[03:15] <snack_> btw it's a laptop so only 1 memory slot i can touch ^
[03:15] <xiong> snack_, if the mem is bad, it may squat the bus and make everything impossible.
[03:15] <snack_> xiong: good point
[03:16] <snack_> xiong: It should make some sound or reboot though.
[03:16] <xiong> Duplicity has no GUI, does it?
[03:16] <grambo> hey
[03:16] <jrib> xiong: I'm going to bed, good luck

[03:16] <xiong> Good night.
[03:17] <snack_> xiong: best thing would be if I could get my hands on another ram to try instead to confirm.
[03:18] <snack_> i guess.
[03:18] <xiong> snack_, absolutely.
[03:18] <xiong> Are you in the SF Bay Area?
[03:19] <snack_> xiong: I wonder if a computer store will let me borrow one to try at the store ^_^
[03:19] <snack_> xiong: well well thnx for your ideas, thinking is always best when seen from different perspectives.

[03:22] <ganymede> #xchat
[03:23] <ganymede> hey, does anyone know if rsync works faster (e.g. transfers less data) if a client uses rsync to sync from a server running rsyncd versus if a client syncs the same remote directory but mounted over nfs? (e.g. should i add rsyncd to the server instead of only nfsd?)
[03:23] <meoblast001> does anyone know of a PPA for nightly Firefox builds?

[03:24] <Hansard> anyone know how to find a more suitable wireless driver? My wireless is working but the signal strength and speed is much lower than in windows and it often disconnects
[03:24] <grambo> im on sabyon right now, was wondering if i can install with a pretty frickin old ubuntu CD and update it easily?
[03:25] <Hansard> grambo: you have to upgrade from distro to distro... would be easier to download a new iso
[03:25] <grambo> no blank cd
[03:25] <grambo> or blank dvd
[03:25] <xiong> So what happened to hubackup? Not available in jaunty?
[03:26] <grambo> so apt-get doesnt have an upgrade
[03:26] <shane2peru> does anyone know how to or with what to split a mpg video and shrink it's size?  I was considering ffmpeg with command line, but not sure how?  Any thoughts?
[03:26] <magikid> grambo: It does but you can only go from one update to the next, you can't skip a few
[03:26] <Hansard> grambo:  Install Ubuntu from a USB stick https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[03:27] <grambo> no usb stick

[03:29] <xrfang> hello, the gnome menu editor crashed while I try to delete an obsolete item, and it corrupted my menu items, now I don't have any submenu under "Applications", how to get it back?
[03:31] <magikid> shane2peru: actually, this might help more: http://bit.ly/LQaKZ
[03:32] <shane2peru> magikid: thanks!!! that second one I think is more along the lines of what I was looking for
[03:33] <shane2peru> magikid: looking to do about the opposite, but that gives the gist of how to make it work
[03:34] <magikid> shane2peru: I've found better ways to do it before but I didn't bookmark them or anything
[03:35] <balzac> Seems like the remote access utility is torn up in jaunty
[03:35] <balzac> all the tutorials i find on making it work are very technical involving the sabayon gnome conf gui which doesn't work out of the repositories, or using a command-line gnome conf utility or manually editing the configuration files
[03:36] <balzac> that's pretty hairy for a newbie like me
[03:36] <shane2peru> magikid: you don't know off hand what my -target should be for a web type video do you?  mp4?  or mpeg?  What would be better?
[03:37] <balzac> is there a simple solution to the "remote desktop" bug which says "Your desktop is only reachable over the local network"?
[03:38] <magikid> shane2peru: not right off, no I don't
[03:38] <kermit> why do i have a bunch of .deb files in /var/cache/apt/archives ?
[03:38] <KingNimrod> balzac: is your firewall configured to let remote desktop connnections through?
[03:38] <magikid> kermit: it's where apt stores downloaded .deb files
[03:38] <shane2peru> magikid: ok, thanks for the links, much appreciated
[03:38] <kermit> magikid: autoclean didnt remove them though :/
[03:39] <Legendre> So, anyone know about the new user creation issues in JJ?
[03:39] <Legendre> how to fix them?
[03:39] <magikid> kermit: then I think it means they're not available in the repos then
[03:39] <Legendre> known issue/known fix?

[03:44] <magikid> kermit: welcome
[03:46] <xiong> Now Mondo says, "Failed to create DVD #1. Retry?" I'm not inclined to feed it another blank, given that it upchucked the last one.

[03:47] <Prohibited> VLC is a good program
[03:47] <Legendre> totem. Never heard o'that
[03:48] <KingNimrod> totem is the default gnome player, IIRC
[03:48] <Legendre> however, the implementation of mplayer in XBMC is quite nice =)
[03:48] <Legendre> fantastic piece of soft, XBMC
[03:48] <xiong> And now I can't unmount the burnt DVD, which does appear to have some stuff on it.

[04:01] <magikid> KingNimrod: How does that happen?  It's a neat app sponsored by them.
[04:01] <fearful> prappl93, for firefox?
[04:01] <prappl93> fearful, both firefox and system
[04:02] <fearful> prappl93, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree for
[04:02] <fearful> prappl93, firefox
[04:02] <KingNimrod> magikid: Thanks - I'll google it shortly...
[04:03] <prappl93> It says that the Flash for that is the newest version. What about for the whole OS, or is it just Firefox based?
[04:03] <Legendre> prappl93: I just d/l the flash player plugin in .tar.gz format, then drop the libflashplaer.so file into the firefox plugins dir
[04:04] <Legendre> if you want it systemwide, it goes into (IIRC) /usr/share/firefox-addons/plugins or something
[04:04] <ikwak> sorry got disconnected
[04:04] <foey> Many people use apt-get autoremove?
[04:04] <seidos> openoffice calc: substract two time cells to get a time value?
[04:05] <fearful> prappl93, I just simply use vlc player it plays anything you don't really need anything else but vlc and the flashplugin for firefox, you can install the actual adobe plugin also sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin
[04:05] <user_><EMAIL_ADDRESS>[04:05] <prappl93> fearful, It's alright now, thanks for the help! I did not realize that I already had all the non-free stuff when I added the repositories for the restricted stuff. Thanks though, fearful! You helped a lot.
[04:05] <Legendre> prappl93: It goes in  /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/ on my machine, but this might differ on newer ubuntu
[04:06] <prappl93> Any exact date when the 9.10 update is due out?

[04:06] <Ademan> can anyone point me to some benchmarks of software raid versus fake raid? http://blog.shaf.net/?p=6 is the only one i noticed thus far, and it surprisingly (to me) puts software raid as faster than fake raid... I expect fake raid is faster but negligibly so...
[04:06] <Ademan> in other words i want a second opinion
[04:07] <Legendre> err.. software raid IS fake raid, isn't it?
[04:07] <fearful> prappl93, 29 October
[04:07] <Legendre> hardware vs. software raid.

[04:07] <codeshepherd> how do i append a newline to end of PSI variable ? \n doesnt work ? is there any other code for newline ?
[04:08] <Ademan> Legendre: eh? fake raid is hardware supported software raid
[04:08] <foey> Its always down to what RAID controller it is. Most cheap raid controllers just use a software based raid.
[04:08] <fearful> prappl93, and your welcome for the help!
[04:08] <prappl93> fearful, thanks.
[04:08] <prappl93> Lol
[04:08] <Legendre> Ademan: hm, ok.. guess I'm not up on the defs..
[04:08] <prappl93> Err, sorry for the lol'ing

[04:09] <udiniq> hi all
[04:09] <magikid> hi!|udiniq
[04:09] <Ademan> kermit: i honestly have no idea how it works, but that benchmark seems to suggest, it doesn't heh... software raid seems like a superior choice simply for stability's sake, but I'm just curious about performance
[04:10] <Legendre> Ademan: As I know it, you can have soft raid in the OS or in a mobo chipset. They are both 'fake' raid

[04:26] <Axess_Denied> danke nano!
[04:26] <arahova> help, I can't find the internet explorer to access the internet?
[04:26] <Bluey> arahova -- umm there is no IE in linux
[04:26] <KingNimrod> arahova: xD
[04:26] <thiebaude> !wine | arahova
[04:26] <nanotube> arahova: try firefox. apps -> internet -> firefox web browser
[04:26] <chrome> hey is there a way to make ctl-alt-del NOT reboot the machine after 60 seconds? :)
[04:27] <arahova> jk guys, thanks for helping the community! :D
[04:27] <Axess_Denied> That was a waste of time
[04:27] <nanotube> arahova: heh
[04:27] <blak> Anybody know how to bridge an ethernet connection from an xBox 360 to wireless through a Ubuntu Laptop???
[04:27] <thiebaude> arahova, on google do a search for ie4linux
[04:27] <{Onyx}> I knew it was fake, all the idiots I have to support would have said there's no internet on my computer!
[04:27] <nanotube> Axess_Denied: :)
[04:27] <arahova> haha onyx
[04:27] <Bluey> hmm
[04:28] <achpile> use firefox
[04:28] <nanotube> {Onyx}: hehe good one
[04:28] <blak> Anybody know how to bridge an ethernet connection from an xBox 360 to wireless through a Ubuntu Laptop???
[04:28] <{Onyx}> I work tech support for HP, you wouldn't believe the idiots I deal with sometimes.
[04:28] <nanotube> !patience | blak
[04:28] <Axess_Denied> %m
[04:28] <Docteh> blak: look for a howto on bridging two interfaces using the brctl took
[04:28] <Docteh> *tool
[04:28] <magikid> {Onyx}: I would, I've worked for a call center for govt employees before
[04:30] <paipimenta> so, I want to go through a Windows Server 2003 training course on my Ubuntu desktop server
[04:30] <paipimenta> command line only so far
[04:30] <paipimenta> what's the best way to do that?  I'm guessing some boot loader
[04:30] <{Onyx}> Anyone gotten the mic to work on an x-fi xtreme music card?
[04:31] <paipimenta> I just want to have Windows chained up in the basement to do my bidding when I want
[04:31] <Docteh> paipimenta: dual boot or virtualize
[04:31] <{Onyx}> When I get the Dell XPS system someone unloaded on me working I may dual boot 7

[04:31] <paipimenta> right now, on my 60Gig hard drive, I've got a 250Meg /boot partition and a LVM / partition
[04:32] <chrome> does anyone know if there is a way to make ctl-alt-del NOT reboot the machine after 60 seconds? :)
[04:32] <paipimenta> the LVM has a 15Gig lvroot, 1 Gig lvswap, and the rest ~40Gig lvhome
[04:32] <Legendre> 250M for boot?!
[04:32] <Bluey> that does nothing in ubuntu
[04:33] <Legendre> Mine is like 10M or something..
[04:33] <paipimenta> yeah, that was default when I setup whole drive guided as LVM originally
[04:33] <Bluey> now ctrl+alt+f1 gets you console
[04:33] <SmilinBob> oh hi
[04:33] <KingNimrod> chrome: Yeah, try not to press those keys ;P
[04:33] <chrome> KingNimrod: har har :P
[04:33] <{Onyx}> Stupid coke dealing x of my wife's friend traded it or something and didn't bother to make sure it worked. Not getting a display. I'll find out tomorrow if I just have to replace the gfx card or if I get to replace the MB, case, PSU and cooler.
[04:33] <lstarnes> Legendre: you need space for kernel images, initramfs images, and other things
[04:33] <ksbalaji> Bluey, I see you as away - for PM!
[04:33] <chrome> KingNimrod: years of habit pressing those keys to bring up the "lock screen" window :P
[04:33] <paipimenta> I want an optimal partition setup so I can dual boot
[04:33] <Legendre> lstarnes: apparently.
[04:33] <craigbass1976> can I use pdfimages to grab images and spit them out to .png files?  I don't see how gogling or in the man pages
[04:33] <Docteh> I put my whole ubuntu install on a separate partition from lvm
[04:34] <paipimenta> Docteh: how do I setup to dual boot?
[04:34] <Docteh> !dualboot
[04:34] <Bluey> ksbalaji - so you can still type?
[04:34]  * Docteh <3 this place
[04:34] <ksbalaji> Bluey, I have somehow opened a PM box and typed there.
[04:35] <KingNimrod> chrome: system > preferences > keyboard shortcuts
[04:35] <xiong> Now dkopp says "exceeded 200000 files", backup failed. Hey, what can I say, I got a lotta stuf?
[04:35] <{Onyx}> Think I'll get a new sound card for it as well. This x-fi card is getting annoying. Sounds great but I need the mic to work.
[04:35] <Bluey> ksb -- I see you there...
[04:36] <KingNimrod> xiong: no one needs that much pr0n ;p
[04:36] <chrome> KingNimrod: thats the next best option, thanks :)
[04:36] <KingNimrod> chrome: np
[04:36]  * thiebaude wow
[04:37] <xiong> KingNimrod, ha ha. It's mostly old versions of my current Perl project. That's what causes the high file count.
[04:37] <Docteh> !virtualpc
[04:38] <paipimenta> anybody know how I can partition my MacBook so that I can Slackintosh it and have a separate partition with my /home data?
[04:38] <paipimenta> !slackintosh
[04:38] <paipimenta> !hackintosh
[04:38] <Docteh> #slackware
[04:38] <Legendre> tried talking to ##slackware?
[04:38] <paipimenta> !lvm
[04:39] <paipimenta> I love bots
[04:39] <Legendre> I feel for anyone trying to run *nix on Mac
[04:39] <Legendre> it just seems unnatural
[04:39] <KingNimrod> paipimenta: so you're a robosexual?
[04:39] <xmnt> I'm trying to setup a virtualbox machine that will see the domains for my machine(i.e. I have a local domain - local.dev that I would like to see from VM)
[04:39] <xmnt> anyone know how
[04:39] <{Onyx}> I feel for anyone using a Mac, doesn't matter what they're trying to do with it.
[04:39] <xmnt> I've got a wireless router in front
[04:40] <Legendre> I had NetBSD running on a few SE30 around here, but that was like 1998
[04:40] <Legendre> {Onyx}: werd
[04:40] <KE7TMA> hi
[04:40] <KingNimrod> !hi | KE7TMA
[04:40] <Legendre> I really despise the Mac Way.
[04:40] <KE7TMA> does anybody know how to get the apple bluetooth mouse to work with ubuntu?
[04:40] <paipimenta> well, I'll tell you..... it's the best solution if you want to run Windows, Mac, and Linux.... until I'm less of a newbie
[04:40] <KE7TMA> it pairs just fine
[04:40] <kaitou> hmmm
[04:40] <KE7TMA> but then, decides not to work at all
[04:41] <kaitou> interesting
[04:41] <kaitou>  xD
[04:41] <KE7TMA> no clicks, no pointer movement, nothing
[04:41] <Legendre> Colleague of mine at work has one, any time I try to use it, it's just pure insanity
[04:41] <nanotube> KE7TMA: any messages in the system log when you plug it in? are you plugging in directly to a usb port in the comp, or through a usb hub or through a port on the keyboard or some such?
[04:41] <Legendre> I be making the wrong gestures on the trackpad.. windows go flying off into the whatever
[04:42] <kaitou> i have a question.. if someone can help me with the drivers of a tablet genius
[04:42] <foey> opps, just used apt-get autoremove - It removed my Gnome install on Ubuntu server
[04:42] <Docteh> nanotube: bluetooth as in wireless
[04:42] <Legendre> Piece. Of. Crap.
[04:42] <paipimenta> yeah.... double clicking the title bar minimizes it...
[04:42] <paipimenta> ??
[04:42] <Docteh> !bluetoothmouse
[04:42] <KE7TMA> no
[04:42] <Docteh> awwww
[04:42] <nanotube> Docteh: oh hahaha i kinda missed that part...
[04:42] <nanotube> !bluetooth
[04:42] <KE7TMA> the usb bluetooth dongle is plugged into the computer
[04:42] <KE7TMA> only thing on the usb bus
[04:42] <KE7TMA> yes
[04:42] <scott_ino2> is there a way to list all the topics ubottu knows
[04:42] <KE7TMA> my bluetooth keyboard works great
[04:43] <nanotube> !bot | scott_ino2
[04:43] <nanotube> scott_ino2: you can go to that factoids link, it lists all the contents
[04:43] <scott_ino2> nanotube, ty, was wondering if there was a way to do it within the chat ;-)
[04:43] <LogicFan> what is the best practice for networking ubuntu to other ubuntu machines?  nfs?
[04:43] <scott_ino2> like how hitting tab for names displays in the chat window but only you can see it
[04:44] <foey> Is there a IRC client for the terminal?
[04:44] <scott_ino2> nanotube, but i suppose there'd be wayyy too many topics
[04:44] <Docteh> foey: irssi is better than bitchx ;)
[04:44] <maco> foey: irssi?
[04:44] <foey> Thanks, ill try it now
[04:44] <KE7TMA> seems that there's a crapton of workarounds out there
[04:44] <nanotube> scott_ino2: indeed... but you could always do "search" to search for a topic.
[04:44] <KE7TMA> and oddly it pairs just fine
[04:44] <nanotube> search "bluetooth"
[04:44] <KingNimrod> foey: I second that vote for irssi
[04:44] <nanotube> !search "bluetooth"
[04:44] <KE7TMA> it just doesn't do anything
[04:45] <alabd> Which software can boot another linux that is installed on disk ?methinks virtualbox can not
[04:45] <nanotube> !search bluetooth
[04:45] <nanotube> scott_ino2: aha, no quotes
[04:45] <Docteh> alabd: whats the host OS?
[04:45] <scott_ino2> nanotube, good to know ;-)
[04:45] <gartral> alabd: you thinks wrong, that's one of a few..
[04:46] <paipimenta> irssi rocks my socks off
[04:46] <Docteh> I need a virtualizer that'll run on windows and boot my linux partition :-/
[04:46] <paipimenta> the other day, I was on lynx for the first time on tty1, irssi on tty2, and man on tty3, I was in heaven
[04:46] <nanotube> Docteh: virtualbox should do it...
[04:46] <scott_ino2> Docteh, virtualbox will
[04:46] <scott_ino2> bling
[04:46] <Docteh> kk
[04:46] <nanotube> paipimenta: no beating the cli
[04:47] <scott_ino2> Docteh, you do mean run a linux virtual machine from windows right
[04:47] <nanotube> !virtualbox
[04:47] <KingNimrod> paipimenta: have you tried terminator?
[04:47] <alabd> gartral: how to boot another linux with virtualbox ? is virtualbox best choice ?
[04:47] <xmnt> anyone know how to setup a bridged connection so I can see my server domains(i.e. local.domain, <IP_ADDRESS>)
[04:47] <xmnt> I'm guessing that's what I need to setup
[04:47] <timClicks> none of my packages from apt-get seem to be verifying - where do i d/l the standard ubuntu apt-keys?
[04:48] <nanotube> Docteh: and of course, while ubottu's answer is geared towards installing vbox on ubuntu, there is vbox for windows hosts as well.
[04:48] <ksbalaji> I do not have a system>pref>display (the display option only) option. Help!
[04:48] <Docteh> yea im downloading it from the website
[04:48] <thiebaude> !vm
[04:48] <nanotube> ksbalaji: which version of ubuntu?
[04:48] <starenki> howto make net proxy settings that were made with gnome-network-properties effective immediately (without reboot)? init.d/networking restart does not make the effect
[04:49] <paipimenta> KingNimrod: terminator?
[04:49] <paipimenta> is it like Screen?
[04:49] <ksbalaji> nanotube, Linux viva100 2.6.24-24-generic #1 SMP Tue Aug 18 17:04:53 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
[04:49] <alabd> gartral: are you sure that vb can boot another linux is installed on hard ?how to boot another linux with virtualbox ? is virtualbox best choice ?
[04:49] <nanotube> ksbalaji: ehr... try running "cat /etc/issue" instead. that uname doesn't tell me the ubuntu version. :)
[04:49] <KingNimrod> paipimenta: kind of... it's an x terminal emulator with split screens and or tabs
[04:49] <nanotube> ksbalaji: though by kernel version, i'm guessing hardy
[04:50] <paipimenta> I still want to find out if lynx has multiple window feature like irssi does
[04:50] <paipimenta> anyone know?
[04:50] <gartral> alabd: some would sa y vb, others swear by vmware, but i forget how to get vb or vmware to boot from another partition..
[04:50] <{Onyx}> Ok, I was wrong. The mic is working just not in Wine and I can't turn down the volume level so that I can't hear the mic over the speakers
[04:50] <nanotube> ksbalaji: in which case... look in system -> prefs -> screen resolution
[04:50] <ksbalaji> nanotube, Ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS \n \l
[04:50] <scott_ino2> alabd, define boot another linux .... what exactly are you trying to do
[04:50] <scott_ino2> ahh brb my fridge is apparently burning
[04:50] <nanotube> ksbalaji: yea, that's hardy.
[04:51] <LogicFan> !nfs
[04:51] <nanotube> scott_ino2: wtf?? :)
[04:51] <xmnt> anyone know how to setup a bridged connection so I can see my server domains(i.e. local.domain, <IP_ADDRESS>) from my windows virtual machine
[04:51] <ksbalaji> nanotube, Ah! yes! I have screen resolution there! (two of them!?) Thanks.
[04:51] <Ben64> how can i edit what services run under which runlevels and stuff
[04:52] <alabd> scott_ino2 how to boot another linux that is installed on hard with virtualbox ?
[04:52] <nanotube> ksbalaji: np :)
[04:52] <foey> Using irssi now, is there anyway to change the terminal res?
[04:52] <jb_> hello
[04:52] <eross> is VRML still alive, or is there a new alternative? I'm looking at several 3d viewers
[04:52] <blueglasses> xmnt, why would you need a bridged connection to see that?
[04:52] <nanotube> Ben64: just look in the /etc/rcX.d directories and edit the links. or if you want a less manual solution, there is "sysv-rc-conf"
[04:52] <jb_> why would my comptuer be really slow when i'm using allot of my hard drive? such as extracting an archive?
[04:53] <KingNimrod> foey: are you using X?
[04:53] <Docteh> foey: you're in a console and not running irssi within like Gnome Terminal? maybe you can fiddle with the frame buffer
[04:53] <nanotube> Ben64: i think there's also a gui called "bum"
[04:53] <nanotube> !bum
[04:53] <Bluey> jb -- tar is NOT fast...
[04:53] <foey> KingNimrod : No not using X
[04:53] <Ben64> nanotube: thats the program i was looking for, thx
[04:53] <xmnt> blueglasses, I'm not sure what I need to setup
[04:53] <nanotube> Ben64: np :)
[04:54] <scott_ino2> alabd, not sure if that's possible. Can I ask why exactly you need to do that?
[04:54] <Docteh> jb_: the I/O actions are taking up the CPU
[04:54] <scott_ino2> im curious
[04:54] <scott_ino2> what it is you're trying to do
[04:54] <jb_> Docteh: but my cpu usage is low
[04:55] <awfulwaffle> does truecrypt only run under the nautilus file manager? currently running pcmanfm and thunar didnt work either
[04:55] <nanotube> jb_: he means to say, the i/o actions are taking up a lot of the i/o bandwidth. so other stuff that needs to read stuff off the hd gets slow.
[04:55] <Docteh> jb_: run top and see what percentage is being used for "wait" while you're untarring something
[04:55] <ksbalaji> nanotube, when I click screen resolution, I get error message - The X Server does not support the XRandR extension.  Runtime resolution changes to the display size are not available. !
[04:55] <jb_> Docteh: k just a sec
[04:56] <nanotube> ksbalaji: well, as i recall, that stuff was really kinda beta-quality in hardy. if you want the gui display settings to work, you gotta upgrade to at least 8.10, or better yet to 9.04. otherwise... you're stuck mucking around with xorg.conf manually...
[04:56] <KingNimrod> foey: think that irssi just takes its size from the terminal you run it in.
[04:57] <alabd> scott_ino2 to know just how to do that
[04:57] <neeroze> can any one help me to fix my wirless problem
[04:57] <Legendre> Trying again.. ANYONE know about problems with creating new users under 9.04? I'm running into a number of problems / bugs..
[04:57] <alabd> scott_ino2 why do ask it?
[04:57] <neeroze> i cant use my wirless device
[04:57] <neeroze> hey guys help meout
[04:57] <Docteh> Legendre: how are you creating them?
[04:57] <foey> KingNimrod : Yeh, I've used Ctrl+F1 to bring up the console. It's not too bad, just used SuSE with a higher res console before.
[04:58] <Legendre> Docteh: via the users/groups applet
[04:58] <Bluey> legendre - how are you doing that?
[04:58] <scott_ino2> alabd, im just wondering, because i don't know if that's even possible, I don't think it is. was wondering if you had a reason/function you were trying to perform
[04:58] <Bluey> oh sorry will butt out
[04:58] <Legendre> Docteh: Bluey: again, from the system's applet for users/groups
[04:58] <ksbalaji> nanotube, thanks. Since I am not a techie type, I was worried about facing problems while upgrading. That's why I stick to LTS 8.04.  But I feel now that my choices are narrowing down.
[04:59] <Legendre> Bluey: by any means, do not butt out..
[04:59] <Bluey> Legendre -- I've had no issues let me try now
[04:59] <scott_ino2> alabd, certainly not possible through virtualization as its well... virtualized so it's not real so it's not actually booting the same way somethign legitimately boots
[04:59] <neeroze> hello ia ma waiting
[04:59] <Docteh> Legendre: I actually don't use the gui much, but theres only like 3 possible problems with new user accounts that are possible unless the gui is making some up
[04:59] <neeroze> i need help with my wirless problem
[04:59] <neeroze> hello heelo
[04:59] <leaf-sheep> ksbalaji: My opinions are -- Go with 9.04 -- I'd say 8.04 LTS is excellent for businesses that does not want to upgrade their linux system every 6 months.
[04:59] <Legendre> Problem is, I can't create any new users unless I run the applet as sudo su root from a term
[05:00] <Legendre> (or modify any users, for that matter)
[05:00] <neeroze> guys help
[05:00] <Docteh> thats odd, there should be a sudo button on that applet
[05:00] <jb_> Docteh: tar is around 15-20% and i dont see "wait".
[05:00] <KingNimrod> foey: I see what you mean - I'm used to a framebuffered console too
[05:00] <Bluey> Legendre -- yup went system/admin/user and groups/  worked fine
[05:00] <neeroze> i need help to fix wirless problem
[05:00] <Docteh> Cpu(s):  0.0%us,  0.0%sy,  0.0%ni,100.0%id,  0.0%wa,  0.0%hi,  0.0%si,  0.0%st
[05:00] <starenki> howto make system network proxy settings effective without reboot? init.d/networking restart does not make the effect
[05:00] <neeroze> is therer any1 who is reading ths
[05:00] <Docteh> oh, "wa" i see
[05:00] <neeroze> helllo guys
[05:00] <jessie> I need some help with Grub issues,anybody available?
[05:01] <Legendre> Bluey: not here.. I was expecting it to beg me with a p/w window before it ran, but it didnt
[05:01] <alabd> scott_ino2 vawre can do that but virtual dont know , but vmware is not free
[05:01] <Docteh> starenki: proxy settings are application specific usually
[05:01] <Legendre> after that, all of the opts were greyed out
[05:01] <Bluey> Legendre - did you hit unlock?
[05:01] <Docteh> restart the app?
[05:01] <ksbalaji> leaf-sheep, thanks for the suggestion.  For not taking a risk of loosing data, Is an uprade better than a full install?
[05:01] <epaphus> Hello guys, how can I know if Foxconn A6VMX2-K MoBO is compatible with Ubuntu?  I know for a fact it isnt recognized in 8.10 (such as the lan nic)..
[05:01] <starenki> Docteh, I am using gnome-network-properties
[05:01] <foey> KingNimrod : Hey, is there anyway to bring up my console session on F1 within a window within X? F7 is currently running Gnome
[05:01] <Legendre> Bluey: unlock what/which?
[05:01] <epaphus> is it compatible in 9.04?
[05:01] <neeroze> hello
[05:01] <alabd> gartral: vmware is not free ,except vmware and vb any case esle ?
[05:01] <scott_ino2> alabd, id be interested to see how vmware actually handles "booting" physical OS installations. just seems odd
[05:01] <neeroze> iam having problem with my wireless can any one help me out
[05:02] <neeroze> a bit
