[14:29] <gajop> frogzoo, how do i do that?
[14:29] <jrib> gajop: I'm guessing you're probably getting into swap with that little ram
[14:30] <anux> how about remix 9.04
[14:30] <gajop> 256 might be little, but a machine with 128 (one with Windows and Microsoft Office) still loads it faster
[14:30] <ActionParsnip> warden: doest matter, once its installed you never see the installer again
[14:31] <gajop> i do think it goes into swap, well at least with open office, don't think it did with abiword
[14:31] <koltroll> warden, I'll take your word for that this is absolutley the best distro for me. So I will install it and hold you 100% responsible if I dislike anything.
[14:31] <jacosis1> fat_rat:thank you, it's excellent.
[14:31] <frogzoo> gajop: tools -> options -> memory -> systray quickstart
[14:31] <warden> ActionParsnip: ya i dig puppy but i am an ubuntu fanboi these days don't really look at puppy much anymore. :)
[14:31] <Evet> which version u suggest for old laptopts?
[14:31] <koltroll> xp
[14:31] <jrib> gajop: I would troubleshoot the unicode issue with abiword
[14:31] <Cube> warden: lol
[14:31] <ActionParsnip> warden: check xpud if you are impress by boot times
[14:32] <moncky> Evet: xubuntu or even fluxbuntu if its up to date
[14:32] <warden> ActionParsnip: will do
[14:32] <ActionParsnip> warden: boots in bout 5 seconds on my 1.6Ghz + 1Gb DDR2 + PATA HDD
[14:32] <Cube> ActionParsnip: YOU HAVE A NETBOOK?
[14:32] <Evet> thanks moncky
[14:32] <warden> ActionParsnip: nice
[14:32] <ActionParsnip> Cube: used to, sold it
[14:32] <anirban2> how to recreate /dev/null
[14:32] <anux> how do that ?
[14:32] <gajop> frogzoo, will the quick starter get up and running each time i restart the machine?
[14:33] <ActionParsnip> warden: not really, the functionality is quite limited, but hey..its boot time that matters right
[14:33] <frogzoo> gajop: sure, but it will also use up memory all the time
[14:33] <ActionParsnip> warden: answer = no
[14:33] <gajop> frogzoo, that's fine,  it's my mother's PC anyway, and all she does is type documents
[14:34] <oskar-> anirban2:  mknod /dev/null c 1 3
[14:34] <ActionParsnip> warden: theres even a boot image you can plonk in /boot and add a line to meu.lst
[14:34] <oskar-> anirban2:  normally, udev should care about this
[14:34] <warden> ActionParsnip: cool
[14:34] <gajop> ok thanks guys
[14:36] <anux> hi, i have a problem

[14:37] <anux> how oskar ?
[14:37] <kaiser101231> omg my mobile aircard works out the box on ubuntu 9.04
[14:37] <moncky> anux: just ask your question, If somone knows the answer they will reply
[14:38] <kaiser101231> was support for the card from kernel or program
[14:38] <oskar-> anux:  by pressing enter after you have written all question details ;-)
[14:38] <anux> okay moncky
[14:39] <raph_ael> hi, my imac last generation is very hot, is there a know solution ? thanks
[14:39] <koltroll> copying fils to usb2 stick.. 4.4MB/s. I find that extremley slow. ;/
[14:39] <kaiser101231> anyone here use aircard
[14:40] <koltroll> 20 minutes to copy5.5gb
[14:40] <RaWolf> Mmm could someone help me? I got a wireless problem:(
[14:40] <dgnorton> problem: XP host & JeOS VMWare guest.  I can ping the guest's IP but can't resolve the guests name.  Any ideas?
[14:40] <lesshaste> I get " shm.c: mmap() failed: Cannot allocate memory" all the time when using pidgin
[14:40] <indus> koltroll: i too have same problem
[14:40] <lesshaste> anyone else seen this?
[14:40] <mazda01> dgnorton, sounds like a dns issue. are you using hosts file or a dns server?
[14:40] <kaiser101231> trying to figure out why networkmanager found my card in ubuntu but my other linux distro couldnt and they both using gnome
[14:40] <oskar-> koltroll:  does the stick work faster in other computers? maybe it is that slow (?)
[14:40] <dgnorton> mazda01, dns
[14:41] <mazda01> kaiser101231, doesn't ahve anything to do with gnome, it's weather they can detect your card properly and load the right module
[14:41] <mazda01> dgnorton, i would look into your dns server then. it sounds like that's not setup right.
[14:42] <bals00ni> #ubuntu-de
[14:42] <bals00ni> sry
[14:42] <kaiser101231> mazda01: oh so guess ill stick with ubuntu for now cause aircard is my only internet
[14:42] <dgnorton> mazda01, i'll do that.  thanks.
[14:42] <NeonSteven> lesshaste: does this happen after you've been running it for a long time?
[14:42] <anux> thank's all CU
[14:42] <kaiser101231> i like using sabayon too to try different things
[14:43] <RaWolf> Mmm could someone help me? I got a wireless problem:(
[14:43] <mazda01> kaiser101231, just see which modules you have loaded in ubuntu. lsmod then make sure to load that same module in the other os.
[14:43] <koltroll> warden, But when it comes to all these different "brands" (don't know the correct name) of ubuntu.. what if development suddenly stops on, let's say, eeebuntu. Then you are kinda doomed to reinstall your whole operating system.
[14:43] <kaiser101231> mazda01: how do i do that im on live ubuntu cd now but sabayon is installed on a partition
[14:47] <lesshaste> NeonSteven, not really

The fix is: Ubuntu 9.04 Ubuntu 9.04 has the same sound problem as 8.10 and it can be fixed by creating a new file /etc/modprobe.d/options.conf containing the line options snd-hda-intel model=mobile

[14:56] <NeonSteven> snoopddrm: hold on, I'm trying to figure out the easiest way to do this for you
[14:56] <snoopddrm> puff: yes, i've just installed ubuntu 9.04 on a usbstick. sorry ,i'm a noob at linux
[14:56] <snoopddrm> ;-)
[14:56] <garyalex> I'm very much a newbie, could someone help me install Ubuntu on an Asus netbook and get the network working? I don't want to completely wipe the existing Windows XP.
[14:56] <fireman> indus: i chaged it normally but when i rebooted i cant do nothing
[14:57] <indus> fireman wy cant you do anything
[14:57] <indus> fireman you just changed language, when you reboot, options will come in arabic
[14:58] <NeonSteven> snoopddrm: almost there... :)
[14:58] <fireman> indus: yes it's true
[14:58] <snoopddrm> NeonSteven: okie thanx man ;-)
[14:58] <fireman> indus: but i cant write on english
[14:59] <zer0her0> any suggestions on console/terminal based IM client, I used to use NAIM on OS X, is NAIM still the best bet?
[14:59] <NeonSteven> snoopddrm: ok, first, let's try running gedit.  Just type gedit <enter>
[14:59] <indus> fireman when it asks for username ,what happens\?
[14:59] <disappearedng> Hey can I have multiple tor running on multiple ports
[15:00] <snoopddrm> NeonSteven: a new window opens up - unsaved document 1 - gedit
[15:00] <fireman> indus: i try to write but it dosent work cause it write arabic when my username in english
[15:00] <indus> fireman yeah interesting
[15:00] <indus> fireman give me 1 sec
[15:01] <NeonSteven> snoopddrm: great, this is like a text adventure :P. Go to Edit > Preferences...
[15:01] <snoopddrm> yaya...
[15:01] <snoopddrm> i'm there
[15:01] <NeonSteven> snoopddrm: select the Editor tab and uncheck "Create a backup copy..."
[15:01] <snoopddrm> NeonSteven: done
[15:03] <NeonSteven> snoopddrm: OK, I changed my mind partway through, but that's OK, we'll keep going.  So in this text file, put "options snd-hda-intel model=mobile" (without the quotes)
[15:03] <fireman> indus: what can i do?
[15:03] <snoopddrm> NeonSteven: okie done
[15:03] <indus> fireman wait iam searching
[15:04] <NeonSteven> snoopddrm: great, now go to File > Save As... and save the file as "sound"
[15:05] <snoopddrm> NeonSteven: okie, the file name is sound. any preference as to the save location? or leave it as default?
[15:05] <jacquesdupontd> hi there
[15:05] <NeonSteven> snoopddrm: default
[15:05] <indus> fireman can u type ur user name letters in arabic?
[15:05] <snoopddrm> NeonSteven: okie done
[15:06] <NeonSteven> snoopddrm: OK, quit the text editor, and in the terminal, type 'cat sound' and see what prints out
[15:06] <fireman> indus: you know that arabic letters are differnt that english ones
[15:06] <indus> fireman do a sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and set keyboard
[15:06] <sipior> fireman: is there no "reset to defaults" option?
[15:06] <indus> fireman try
[15:06] <snoopddrm> NeonSteven: This is the output "options snd-hda-intel model=mobile"
[15:07] <NeonSteven> snoopddrm: Great! I wanted to make sure the file was where I expected it to be and had the right contents.  Now we're going to move it into the right place.
[15:07] <garyalex> Can I install Ubuntu on a Windows Netbook and still have the choice of using Windows? (Newbie here)
[15:07] <legend2440> NeonSteven: sorry to interrupt but there is an easier way. snoopddrm has to edit or create that file as root so the command would be   gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/options.conf  then he would add the line  options snd-hda-intel model=mobile and save the file.
[15:07] <snoopddrm> NeonSteven: Okie... ready ;-)
[15:08] <NeonSteven> snoopddrm: great, do this: 'sudo cp sound /etc/modprobe.d/'
[15:08] <thiebaude> garyalex, , you can dual boot or have a virtual machine
[15:08] <achilles> #roomkav
[15:08] <cemunal> i will install a command line system before. after xorg openbox. after xfce4. which DM will be dafault for "startx" command? openbox or xfce4?
[15:08] <shivek> help, pidgin isn't working !
[15:09] <NeonSteven> snoopddrm: that'll ask you for your regular password
[15:09] <garyalex> Thanks thiebaude, I want to dual boot.
[15:09] <snoopddrm> NeonSteven: okie, done. nothing is outputed though
[15:09] <snoopddrm> NeonSteven: yes, i entered it.
[15:09] <trelayne> hi all, there appear to be two clipboards on Ubuntu (and all *nixes):  (1) the regular select, ctrl-C , ctrl-V , and (2) copy  with LMB, then paste with MMB. Anyone know how to assign a hot key to the MMB paste?
[15:09] <thiebaude> garyalex, do you have the live cd?
[15:09] <garyalex> I am trying to partition it, using the installer, and don't understand the options if I do it manually. What do I do with the existing partitions?
[15:09] <NeonSteven> snoopddrm: that's great! In unixland, silence usually means it worked :).  Now do 'ls -l /etc/modprobe.d/sound'
[15:10] <indus> fireman do this Look in /etc/default/console-setup and saw that XKBLAYOUT was set to "af"
[15:10] <indus> fireman set it to us
[15:10] <thiebaude> garyalex, keep your existing ntfs partitions
[15:10] <garyalex> I have a live SD card, in the machine as we speak (but I don't have internet access yet so am doing IRC on a MacBook)
[15:10] <snoopddrm> NeonSteven: This is the output "-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 35 2009-07-27 22:08 /etc/modprobe.d/sound"
[15:10] <thiebaude> garyalex, use the first option, indstall side by side
[15:10] <thiebaude> install
[15:11] <NeonSteven> snoopddrm: looks great! you should be all set, I believe.  You'll have to reboot to try in out.
[15:11] <snoopddrm> NeonSteven: Okie, i'll do a restart now and back in five. Wish me luck guys! :-)
[15:11] <NeonSteven> snoopddrm: if it still isn't working, don't give up! it took me a couple tries to get my sound working.
[15:12] <snoopddrm> NeonSteven: no worries, be back in five ;-)
[15:12] <rek> To everyone ;-)  http://nopaste.com/p/anxL12zp      Help     NeonSteven snoopddrm etc.....
[15:12] <garyalex> thiebaude, the choice it is giving me is put Ubuntu on the entire disk, which will delete Windows, or 'specify partitions manually'.
[15:12] <thiebaude> garyalex, specify partitions
[15:12] <frogzoo> garyalex: so manual of course
[15:13] <thiebaude> garyalex, are you using the ubuntu live cd?
[15:13] <NeonSteven> legend2440: yeah, I don't use gedit myself, and I was afraid it would make all sorts of extra files in bad places, so I tried to find a safe, easy-to-explain way
[15:13] <garyalex> thiebaude: I am using a live SD card that I purchased from Ubuntu.
[15:13] <Raul> Hello everyone, i was wondering if anyone has Tried an LFS project with Ubuntu, and if so what version should i attempt this on, i do plan on using a diffrent desktop enviroment though.
[15:13] <thiebaude> garyalex, never heard of that
[15:13] <kkszysiu> is there package related channel?
[15:14] <frogzoo> a live SD card? that's pretty schmick
[15:14] <Pici> kkszysiu: For creating packages you mean?
[15:14] <grawity> NeonSteven: gedit seems pretty safe to me
[15:14] <thiebaude> frogzoo, what is that, live sd card?
[15:14] <garyalex> thiebaude: I assume it is the same as the live CD, which I received also, but my netbook doesn't have an optical drive.
[15:14]  * stardust1985 upgrading to Karmic Koala alpha 3 :)
[15:15] <coz_> thiebaude,  SD  card   Secure Digital
[15:15] <thiebaude> garyalex, how many install options do you have on that installer?
[15:15] <rek> pici:help
[15:15] <garyalex> Anyway, friends, I am at the stage where I have to manually partion the disk and I don't understand the choices.
[15:15] <thiebaude> coz_, i heard of sd drive,lol
[15:15] <rek> set also a background source but nothing happens
[15:15] <coz_> :)
[15:15] <Raul> gary what dont you understand?
[15:15] <Raul> you need an Ex3, and a Swap.
[15:15] <coz_> thiebaude,  but not for ubuntu right ?? I sure havent
[15:15] <rek> Pici
[15:15] <Pici> rek: What?
[15:16] <legend2440> NeonSteven: ok. but according to his original statement he was trying to create a file called   /etc/modprobe.d/options.conf  so shouldnt it be named  options.conf instead of  sound?
[15:16] <thiebaude> coz_, yep
[15:16] <rek> nopaste
[15:16] <rek> wait
[15:16] <rek> i link a nopaste
[15:16]  * fat_rat enjoys hardy lts edition ;]
[15:16] <rek> http://nopaste.com/p/anxL12zp
[15:16] <NeonSteven> legend2440: it doesn't matter; modprobe reads all the files in that directory regardless of name and uses options from them all
[15:16] <garyalex> If I reformat the sda1 partition, which contains the existing Windows, what do I use it as: do not use, swap area, ntfs, FAT32, etc.?
[15:16] <Raul> I was wondering if anyone has Tried an LFS project with Ubuntu, and if so what version should i attempt this on, i do plan on using a diffrent desktop enviroment though.
[15:16] <rek> seen?
[15:16] <legend2440> NeonSteven: ok
[15:17] <Moofius-> heya, I'm having trouble with a cronjob, it has always run before, I can execute the command in my terminal, but it isent run
[15:17] <mazda01> trying to help someone figure out why an external fat32 drive isn't automounting anymore. can someone shed some light?
[15:17] <Raul> Garyalex: if you reformat it windows goes away, are you triyng to go into full ubuntu take over?
[15:17] <thiebaude> garyalex, ntfs, but if you format that, it will erase it
[15:17] <Raul> mazda chekc if yo can mount it yourself?
[15:18] <Pici> rek: I don't know much about idesk, but from those errors I'd make sure that 1) The target of Background.File exists 2) That idesk wasn't running already when you tried to start it.
[15:18] <Raul> just because it didn't show the icon on the desktop doesn't mean it's not mounted, check "places"
[15:18] <rek> error:  Idesk is running in :0.0
[15:18] <rek>   what does this mean????
[15:18] <garyalex> I see, then how can I have a choice between booting windows and ubuntu?
[15:18] <rek> pici: it can reload ....
[15:18] <Raul> Gary, you wont be able too if you reformat..
[15:18] <thiebaude> garyalex, how many opitons does it give you?
[15:18] <stardust1985> frogzoo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick this works for SD cards as well, you only select the right "disc" in bios
[15:18] <doglino> Raul in which vm?
[15:18] <rek> then i set also a backround file but nothing hapens
[15:19] <Pici> rek: Then I don't know, I've never used that software before.
[15:19] <Raul> Doglino, are you reffering to my LFS question? i'm going to do it on my Real hdd
[15:19] <rek> help
[15:19] <Raul> or i might use VMware.
[15:19] <thiebaude> garyalex, i would use unetbootin, if the sd doesn't work
[15:19] <doglino> Raul said "just because it didn't show the icon on the desktop doesn't mean it's not mounted, check "places""
[15:20] <Raul> so what does a "vm" have to do with anything?
[15:20] <mazda01> Raul, he can mount himself. manually that is. he's in the plugdev and admin group, he does have hald and dbus running so I am not sure why it's not automounting and putting an icon on the desktop?
[15:20] <snoopddrm> NeonSteven: hihi, am back ;-) I guess i don't need to test the sound, when ubuntu started up again, i heard the music ;-)
[15:20] <extor> The playback of this movie requires a application/zip decoder plugin which is not installed.
[15:21] <garyalex> theibaude: OK, I did download unetbootin yesterday, from within Windows. Is that a Windows programme?
[15:21] <garyalex> I didn't know what to do with it.
[15:21] <extor> Any idea how to solve this? Doesn't work in mplayer nor vlc
[15:21] <Raul> 'zip decoder'
[15:21] <Raul> ive never heard of that type of format for a video
[15:21] <thiebaude> garyalex, it lets's you install a distro without a cd drive
[15:21] <VCoolio> coz_: remember you solved my problem on button sounds in openbox few days ago by uninstalling canberra-gtk-module? Turned out that gives a lot of errors when starting gtk apps, so better is adding it to blacklist. Still thx for pointing in right direction.
[15:21] <Raul> are you sure you extracted it?
[15:21] <nexTac> you have libdvdcss2 installed extor?
[15:21] <rek> nextac
[15:22] <extor> not sure lemme install it
[15:22] <garyalex> Thiebaude: I'll have a play with that and get back here a little later.
[15:22] <thiebaude> garyalex, ok
[15:22] <rek> can you help me with idesk?
[15:22] <garyalex> Thansk for your help, theibaude.
[15:22] <nexTac> no sry rek
[15:22] <nexTac> no idea what that is
[15:22] <thiebaude> garyalex, i've used it many times
[15:22] <nexTac> ^^
[15:22] <coz_> VCoolio,  ok yeah   that should work also :)
[15:22] <extor> Package libdvdcss is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source Package libdvdcss has no installation candidate

[15:23] <kaiser10123> how do i get more display options
[15:24] <nexTac> rek: i just read what it is, perhaps use a "normal" window manager? ;)
[15:24] <mazda01> Raul, he can mount himself. manually that is. he's in the plugdev and admin group, he does have hald and dbus running so I am not sure why it's not automounting and putting an icon on the desktop?
[15:24] <Raul> Does anyone know how to get a tenda twl541p wifi pci card to work in ubuntu
[15:24] <kaiser10123> i am using a 42 inch hdtv monitor and only ger 800x600:(
[15:24] <NeonSteven> snoopddrm: awesome!
[15:24] <rek> nex tac?
[15:24] <nexTac> haha
[15:24] <Raul> Mazda, have you checked "places"
[15:24] <rek> normal wm ? what?
[15:24] <snoopddrm> NeonSteven: Thanx so much, got it fixed now ;-)
[15:24] <Raul> i remember ubuntu would never put it on the desktop but it would always be in  "places
[15:24] <nexTac> sounds like huge pixels kaiser10123
[15:25] <kaiser10123> sabayon and windows xp got alot better resolutions
[15:25] <nexTac> i read idesk is only for fluxbox and the like
[15:25] <nexTac> am i mistaken?
[15:25] <rek> fluxbox's cool
[15:25] <rek> i must have an icon
[15:25] <Raul> !wireless
[15:25] <thiebaude> rek, yea it is, i use openbox
[15:25] <Pici> rek: Maybe #fluxbox would be a better place to ask
[15:25] <outy> so i go to facebook in opera in ubuntu and it loads google,  happens on other sites too, they just load google
[15:25] <rek> openbox?
[15:25] <rek> ko
[15:25] <nexTac> think so too, most people would have gnome or kde here
[15:25] <rek> ok
[15:26] <VCoolio> rek: you can also use pcmanfm to draw your desktop with icons if you can't sort it out with idesk
[15:26] <Raul> outy: are you using a proxy?
[15:26] <rek> i've gnome too
[15:26] <warden> can you install madwifi if you have a broadcom wireless chipset? or is it just for atheros only?
[15:26] <koltroll> I can read from the usb stick 5 times fast than I can write to it :)
[15:26] <outy> nope Raul
[15:26] <rek> VCoolio:  sure?
[15:26] <outy> it works in firefox just fine,  but im an opera person
[15:26] <kaiser10123> nexTac: any clue how to force a 1024x768 maybe?
[15:26] <Raul> then i have no idea why it would do that sorry mate.
[15:26] <rek> how
[15:26] <outy> ive tried uninstalling and reinstalling opera, and also the stable and beta releases of opera, still now good
[15:26] <outy> no good
[15:26] <jorgp> what? my ar5212 is not supportedout of the box? wg511T
[15:26] <Raul> Kaiser the reason you might not be able to reach those resolutions might be because improper graphics card drivers?
[15:27] <VCoolio> rek: start pcmanfm then edit > preferences > desktop
[15:27] <nexTac> never had problems with monitors, sry kaiser10123 if you cant select different resolution ive no idea
[15:27] <kaiser10123> its a old savage video card
[15:27] <Raul> That's probably why it can't reach it..
[15:27] <sebsebseb> hi
[15:27] <warden> koltroll, to answer your question from like 15 mins ago.. i just take that chance. on my eee i switch and format to a different os like once a month. its my toy
[15:28] <kaiser10123> but xp and another distro read alot more
[15:28] <chrismnh> is anyone familiar with XCheckMaskEvent? I'm using it to detect key presses and key releases, it never seems to recognize key releases
[15:28] <Raul> Then check for drivers on ubuntu?
[15:28] <koltroll> warden, you boy roy
[15:28] <koltroll> bah.
[15:28] <nexTac> kaiser10123: oh, i thought you had the right resolutions on other devices
[15:28] <kaiser10123> only reason i swithed to ubuntu is because my sprint aircard works otbaircard
[15:28] <extor> Still get the same error. How do I check which codec it is using?
[15:28] <nexTac> warden i do the same distrohopping on my old notebook :)
[15:28] <kaiser10123> outthebox
[15:28] <rek> VCoolio:  show icons? howw can i put them?
[15:29] <warden> nexTac, i used to be a huge distrohopper.
[15:29] <Raul> Kaiser what GPu are you using?
[15:29] <kfan> i got a problem when i go to appearance my computer freezes
[15:29] <VCoolio> rek: I assume it just displays the contents of ~/Desktop, no? In edit > prefs > desktop tick the box on top and then hit ok
[15:29] <Raul> kfan: what are your PC stats?
[15:29] <mataks> what's the command in terminal to force kill a running application?
[15:30] <sebsebseb> mataks: xkill will do it
[15:30] <snoopddrm> control c?
[15:30] <kaiser10123> Raul: its a savage
[15:30] <sebsebseb> mataks: xkill and click on the app  having the problem, to close it
[15:30] <warden> mataks, i use killall
[15:31] <mazda01> volume is really low, any thoughts to make it higher? and yes, I have played around with gnome alsa mixer and made sure nothing was muted and everything is turned up. if I turn mic up to far, I get scratchy winy noises.
[15:31] <grawity> mataks: 'kill' if you know the process ID, 'pkill' if you only know the application name; if it doesn't work, try "kill -9 pid" or "pkill -9 name"
[15:31] <grawity> warden: remember that on some distros, 'killall' literally kills all processes.
[15:31] <mataks> what's the command to list the all the task that's running
[15:31] <papapep> mazda01: audio device brand and model?
[15:31] <mataks> like in windows tasklist
[15:31] <mataks> xkill didn't work
[15:31] <warden> grawity, hmm.. thanks for that info..
[15:32] <lesshaste> how would I find out which version of python-scipy I have installed?
[15:32] <grawity> mataks: ps -ef
[15:32] <rek> help with idesk
[15:32] <kaiser10123> Raul: how do i get exact card name
[15:32] <mataks> grawity,  k thnx
[15:32] <papapep> mataks: run "ps -e|grep nameofyourapp", that will give you a process number, and then run "kill -p processnumber"
[15:32] <mazda01> papapep, i used to have a digital one listed but now I don't. aplay -l shows: card 0: VT82xx [HDA VIA VT82xx], device 0: ALC888 Analog [ALC888 Analog]
[15:32] <grawity> papapep: kill doesn't have -p
[15:32] <kaiser10123> cant i go to some config file and try and change the resolution manually
[15:33] <papapep> ups
[15:33] <papapep> sorry
[15:33] <anon^_^> Hi, I have question about the volume applet in Jaunty.  Is there any way to replace it with the old volume applet from Intrepid?
[15:33] <kaiser10123> xorg or something like that

[15:43] <Pici> UBUNTUVISTA: You should ask in #debian not #ubuntu
[15:43] <frostburn> MaT-dg, you need to install the respective vpn module for nm, search for it in the repositories, it should be called nm-openvpn  and the like

[15:48] <RaWolf> I got a Broadcom 4306, everything is installed and yet I see (when clicking on networks) that there is no wireless
[15:48] <goldins> you have major filesystem corruption
[15:48] <The_Crow> koro Pici Gracias
[15:48] <jorgp> can ext4 be trusted as compared to ext2/3?
[15:48] <koro> jorgp: i hear no
[15:49] <thiebaude> jorgp, i use it and have had no problems with it
[15:49] <goldins> I mean, ext2 has been around for 20 some odd years
[15:49] <jorgp> koro: hmm, well karmis installed it by default
[15:49] <goldins> ext3 for 10 or so
[15:49] <koro> if you want to be safe, i'd stick to ext3
[15:49] <jorgp> karmic
[15:49] <mataks> is there an anti virus for linux?
[15:49] <thiebaude> !virus
[15:49] <goldins> mataks: yes, but there isn't really a need for it
[15:49] <RaWolf> mataks, thats not really needed
[15:49] <mataks> goldins,  why?
[15:49] <koro> jorgp: karmis?
[15:49] <goldins> mataks: read that
[15:49] <jorgp> koro: ubuntu 9.10
[15:50] <stefg> jorgp: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4#Delayed_allocation_and_potential_data_loss
[15:50] <euzao> IBM Lotus Symphony is nice
[15:50] <mataks>  k
[15:50] <goldins> there is anti-virus software for linux because some corporations and governments have really stupid rules regarding computers
[15:50] <goldins> so, we have to have anti-virus software installed on all of our computers where I work, even when it isn't doing anything
[15:50] <raph_ael> is there a mactel chan ?
[15:50] <specto> goldins: and anti-virus can be used to scan emails etc for viruses.
[15:50] <koro> jorgp: oh. Well you're installing an unreleased OS, so you shouldn't worry about being on the edge
[15:50] <RaWolf> I got a Broadcom 4306, everything is installed and yet I see (when clicking on networks) that there is no wireless. Someone please help?
[15:50] <jorgp> stefg: I know, that is why I asked because 9.10 installs it by default
[15:50] <goldins> raph_ael: you mean hackintosh?
[15:52] <raph_ael> goldins: i mean a chan for linux on mac
[15:52] <huey23> i set up an alias for root's mail in /etc/aliases that looks like this:  root<EMAIL_ADDRESS>... is there anything else i need to do to have the mail delivered to me?  i am getting messages backed up and i am unsure on how to clear it
[15:52] <goldins> raph_ael: it should Just Work (tm)
[15:52] <goldins> are you having problems?
[15:52] <anto9us> RaWolf, in a terminal window, does iwconfig list it?
[15:52] <RaWolf> anto9us, yes
[15:52] <sipior> huey23: you ran "newaliases", right?
[15:52] <laclasse> huey23, ran 'newaliases' ?
[15:53] <stefg> jorgp: i think the dev'she know what they are doing. On a server with critical data and the net being the bottleneck i'd say i'd still use ext3, but i use ext4 on jaunty on various machines and my experiences are positive. Fast, robust and reliable for me so far
[15:53] <huey23> of course :P ... just did
[15:53] <laclasse> huey23, if not run it, then your alias will work
[15:53] <huey23> thanks
[15:53] <laclasse> lol
[15:53] <raph_ael> goldins: my brand new imac is hotter with ubuntu than os x (btw thanks)
[15:53] <laclasse> huey23, restart your smtp
[15:53] <RaWolf> anto9us, http://paste.ubuntu.com/234574/
[15:53] <anto9us> RaWolf, iwlist <device> scan
[15:53] <laclasse> huey23, make sure you can forward from the local machine to the alias domain, if another domain
[15:53] <huey23> laclasse:  thanks
[15:53] <goldins> raph_ael: are the fans activating?
[15:54] <huey23> it is a mail gateway...i can
[15:54] <jorgp> stefg: I have never had a problem with any linus filesystem except one time with reiserfs going corrupt and I have been running linux for about 10 years
[15:54] <jorgp> linux
[15:54] <laclasse> huey23, very bizarre then, not sure whats the issue
[15:54] <anon^_^> is anyone familiar with the volume control applet in Ubuntu Jaunty?
[15:54] <huey23> i didn't run newaliases
[15:54] <anon^_^> and how to switch it back to the same style used in Intrepid?
[15:54] <raph_ael> goldins: difficult to say, some parts are cold some are not, there are many posts about this, but never found out a clear solution
[15:55] <laclasse> huey23, hehehe
[15:55] <RaWolf> anto9us, http://paste.ubuntu.com/234579/
[15:55] <garyalex> thiebaude: I'm back, slightly wiser, but no further ahead. I tried unetbootin, but it only creates a usb boot disk, and I already have that, with my SD card. I can run Ubuntu off that (but no internet yet), but it is slow and awkward to boot. The machine tries to go back to Windows.
[15:55] <stefg> jorgp: i'd trust ext4... the whole discussion has put lots of eyes on the problem, and i think they're sorted out in 9.10
[15:56] <goldins> raph_ael: are you loading the applesmc kernel module?
[15:56] <kfan> computer gets slow after clicking display preferences
[15:56] <raph_ael> goldins: i do, some fans seems to work if i check  /sys/devices/platform/applesmc.768/
[15:56] <jorgp> yeah from what i read they put patches into kenel 2.6.30 and ubuntu back ported them back to 2.6.28
[15:56] <thiebaude> garyalex, hmm, the unetbootin has 2 options, install to flash drive or hard drive
[15:57] <anto9us> RaWolf, ok, it's seeing access points, the problem is with network manager, you can restart it with sudo service NetworkManager restart
[15:57] <jorgp> stefg: I am going to give ext4 a chance and try it
[15:57] <garyalex> thiebaude: I didn't see that, I'll try again.
[15:57] <thiebaude> ok
[15:57] <thiebaude> garyalex, yea, i used it alot
[15:58] <kfan> why does my computer get slow after i go to display preferences?
[15:58] <LexLuth0r> anyone know how to get openssl???
[15:58] <goldins> raph_ael: if the fans are running then I wouldn't worry about the machine blowing up
[15:58] <thiebaude> garyalex, the bot says flash but it needs updated
[15:58] <thiebaude> !unetbootin
[15:58] <erUSUL> LexLuth0r: is probably already installed
[15:58] <RaWolf> anto9us, thx alot!
[15:58] <garyalex> Thanks ubottu
[15:58] <erUSUL> LexLuth0r: or you need the headers to compile something ?
[15:58] <stefg> jorgp: and you know: backups exist only to defeat Murphys Law :-) you never need them if have them, but once you forgot to make one, soething will go wrong

[16:05] <papapep> kelmix: mucha gente, pero no es el sitio adecuado, entra en #ubuntu-es
[16:05] <sebsebseb> !es |  kelmix
[16:05] <lilcoconut> could someone please help me?
[16:06] <papapep> kelmix: "/join #ubuntu-es"
[16:06]  * hagisbasheruk has Aspire One A150 darkhamm
[16:06] <otto_> hallo leute begrüsse alle hier im netz
[16:06] <kelmix> ok pero como cambio de canal???
[16:06] <pepperjack> lilcoconut: possibly.  what is the problem?
[16:06] <sebsebseb> !details |  lilcoconut
[16:06] <papapep> kelmix: "/join #ubuntu-es"
[16:06] <capneb> we're having a problem writing files. we have correct permissions; however, root can write to the file but the other users cannot.
[16:06] <domcyrus> hi, I've a problem setting up a wireless lan hotspot with gnome network connections
[16:06] <jrib> capneb: pastebin
[16:06] <kelmix> hay no hay nadie???
[16:06] <lilcoconut> well im traying to install several programms on ubuntu btu i just cant
[16:06] <kelmix> jajajajajaja
[16:06] <otto_> kann eine deutsch ?
[16:06] <lilcoconut> and no they are not .exe files
[16:06] <sebsebseb> !de |  otto_
[16:06] <jrib> !de | otto_
[16:06] <domcyrus> when setting the pw it looks like the password is getting hashed or so
[16:06] <dAnon> jussi01 now it reacts but I don't understand this program, it doesn't show the note
[16:07] <otto_> dankeubottu
[16:07] <domcyrus> I mean the pw looks like a hash
[16:07] <domcyrus> and not anymore the pw I've set
[16:07] <pepperjack> lilcoconut: ok so most of the stuff you will want to install can be found in the ubuntu repositories.  basically you just go into add/remove programs and add from there.  can you give an example of a problem you need to install?
[16:07] <kelmix> hay no hay nadie alguien q me pueda ayudar
[16:07] <grawity> domcyrus: It's probably converted to hexadecimal
[16:07] <mazda01> i ahve to change my volume control to 475% just to get it to a reasonable level, why is this?  http://img30.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot14s.png  and that's just for totem. am I going to have to do this for every app?
[16:07] <papapep> kelmix: aquí en español NO
[16:07] <huey23> !es | kelmix
[16:07] <sebsebseb> !es |  papapep
[16:08] <domcyrus> grawity: yeah that could be the case
[16:08] <kelmix> papapep cambiate para halla plis
[16:08] <domcyrus> although how can I prevent doing that
[16:08] <domcyrus> ?
[16:08] <kelmix> pa q me explique unas cosas
[16:08] <kfan> igames
[16:08] <dAnon> jussi01 this program is completely useless, and worthless, it doesn't tell me note names
[16:08] <NeonSteven> kelmix: cambia el canal como "/join #ubuntu-es"
[16:08] <capneb> jrib: what does that mean? pastebin? we have been set up for a long time, then this morning we cannot save files to the server with the smb user, or logged into terminal.
[16:08] <kelmix> ya lo cambie pero no hay usuarios hay
[16:08] <grawity> domcyrus: Try entering the password to http://www.nickciske.com/tools/hex.php (in the "Text" box), and you will probably get the same.
[16:08] <domcyrus> is there another network manager program to setup a wlan hotspot
[16:08] <dAnon> jussi01 how am I supposed to tune guitar without that
[16:08] <jrib> capneb: this is an issue with samba?
[16:09] <pepperjack> lilcoconut: i might not be able to help so probably best to keep it in the channel. in case someone else can assist
[16:09] <grawity> !pastebin | capneb
[16:09] <jussi01> dAnon: Ive found it very useful, unless something has changed since 8.04
[16:09] <arand> domcyrus: It is hexadecimal indeed, I think there is a bug report for showing it as "text" I don't think it's currently possible...
[16:09] <domcyrus> oha
[16:09] <NeonSteven> kelmix: yo veo 64 usarios en #ubuntu-es
[16:09] <domcyrus> that's a pity then
[16:09] <stefg> !info wicd | domcyrus
[16:09] <kelmix> no hablan
[16:09] <grawity> domcyrus: you can convert hex back to ASCII
[16:09] <dAnon> ok got lingot to work
[16:09] <lilcoconut> pepperjack: i tried to install pidgin
[16:09] <dAnon> thx
[16:09] <grawity> capneb: So, can you pastebin the permissions, owner, group of the files?
[16:09] <capneb> probably not, because logged in to terminal over SSH I cannot write to a new file I created. It will create the file with "touch file.txt" but if I "nano file.txt" and then save it cat file.txt shows nothing.
[16:10] <pepperjack> lilcoconut: ok. did you get an error?
[16:10] <domcyrus> ubottu: coolio thanks
[16:10] <garyalex> thiebaude and ubottu: Have tried again, but still no further along. I can boot from the SD drive. I want to know if I can do an installation that doesn't wipe Windows XP. Unetbootin gave me no option to install on the HD. The SD drive does, but it seems like I will wipe Windows. What do I do?
[16:10] <sebsebseb> !thanks |  domcyrus
[16:10] <NeonSteven> kelmix: :) 1 esta hablando ahora
[16:10] <sebsebseb> !bot |  garyalex
[16:10] <lilcoconut> pepperjack: no i didnt... i unzipped the file and clicked on the install button
[16:10] <kelmix> ok
[16:10] <domcyrus> lol I'm definitely not used to IRC
[16:10] <garyalex> Oh! sorry, I didn't realise ubotto was just a bot!
[16:11] <nameless`> hi
[16:11] <lilcoconut> pepperjack: but it didnt work...
[16:11] <stefg> garyalex: First step should be making a backup ...
[16:11] <pepperjack> lilcoconut: ok.  ubuntu is actually a lot easier than this to install.  its not like windows where you have to track down individual apps.
[16:11] <lilcoconut> Pepperjack: ok. so how do i install things?
[16:11] <garyalex> stefg: a backup of the windows installation?
[16:11] <pepperjack> !synaptic | lilcoconut
[16:11] <garyalex> I have a backup CD, but no CD drive!
[16:11] <kelmix> quien habla espaol aki
[16:11] <pepperjack> lilcoconut: basically you just choose it from a list and ubuntu downloads and installs for you
[16:11] <kelmix> q me ayude en priv
[16:12] <stefg> garyalex: yes... so in case you get something wrong, you can at least revert to that state
[16:12] <sebsebseb> !es  |  NeonSteven  kelmix
[16:12] <papapep> kelmix: please, stop it
[16:12] <Myrtti> kelmix: you are going to be removed. this channel is ENGLISH ONLY
[16:12] <lilcoconut> and where do i find this list?
[16:12] <pepperjack> lilcoconut: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto
[16:12] <kelmix> ok brb
[16:12] <Vaevictus> anyone have a good command line rc editing tool? rcconf doesn't appear to be fully functional
[16:12] <NeonSteven> sebsebseb: I barely even speak spanish :) I was trying to tell him the same thing
[16:13] <sebsebseb> NeonSteven: ok np
[16:13] <pepperjack> lilcoconut: system --> administration --> synaptic   basically
[16:13] <civixier> in bash, ctrl+z puts a job in the background, but also pauses it. Is there a way to put a job in the background while it is still running?
[16:13] <nameless`> hi there
[16:13] <otto_> das mit der Eingabe für ubuntu de hat nicht funktioniert
[16:13] <capneb> mgr@machine:~$ touch index.php
[16:13] <capneb> mgr@machine:~$ nano index.php
[16:13] <capneb> mgr@machine:~$ cat index.php
[16:13] <grawity> civixier: Use the 'bg' command after you press Ctrl-Z
[16:13] <thiebaude> sebsebseb, wassup
[16:13] <Myrtti> !de | otto_
[16:13] <capneb> shows nothing even thou I saved hello world to the file via nano.
[16:13] <bastidrazor> civixier, or start the application with appname &
[16:13] <grawity> capneb: Can you do "ls -la . index.php"?
[16:13] <NeonSteven> Myrtti: it's ok, he just needed help finding the channel
[16:13] <stew> civixier: after suspending, you can run "bg" to tell bash to continue it in the background
[16:13] <civixier> ah, thanks!
[16:13] <thiebaude> garyalex, im not sure what to do
[16:14] <capneb> -rw-rw-r--  1 mgr  mgr      0 2009-07-27 11:12 index.php
[16:14] <nameless`> my gparted tell me that my partition is 3GiB but i made a "du" and the total size of all my file doesn'"t exceed 1.2GiB
[16:14] <Myrtti> NeonSteven: and if he hadn't found it soon, I would have assisted him with it with banforwarding him there
[16:14] <grawity> capneb: And of the current directory?
[16:14] <Myrtti> capneb: use pastebin
[16:14] <grawity> Myrtti: For a single line?
[16:14] <Myrtti> grawity: earlier three
[16:14] <papapep> Vaevictus: something like update-rc.d ?
[16:14] <erUSUL> civixier: « bg job_number »
[16:14] <stew> civixier: or "bg %jobnum" where jobnum comes from the output of "jobs" (as you can have multiple backgrounded jobs) and "fg %jobnum" will beging a backgrounded or suspended job back to the foreground
[16:14] <Vaevictus> papapep: does that have a list mode? individual runlevel toggles?
[16:14] <pepperjack> lilcoconut: or from a terminal you can apt-cache search pidgin or whatever then sudo apt-get install whateverpackagename
[16:14] <stefg> otto: /join #ubuntu-de
[16:14] <capneb> not familiar with pastebin yet. looking into it.
[16:15] <v0lksman> anyone know where the chromium crew hang out?  or have any info on running an ad blocker with chromium
[16:15] <papapep> Vaevictus: don't know, take a look at the man page
[16:15] <yitehay> can anyone tell me the number of host there are to be comming from an Internet Service Provider?<<<
[16:15] <Myrtti> !pastebin > capneb
[16:15] <grawity> capneb: basically you paste the text to the pastebin site (http://pastebin.ca or http://dpaste.com or whatever you want); then you click "Submit" and copy the new page address.
[16:16] <grawity> yitehay: what do you mean by that?
[16:16] <capneb> thanks. will do. sorry
[16:16] <tdn> How do I set Ubuntu to have a static IP instead of using DHCP and also have network enabled when no user is logged in?
[16:16] <yitehay> (grawity)...I cant be anymore specific as I already explained<<<<
[16:16] <kelmix> demen el canal de espanol otraves
[16:16] <lilcoconut> pepperjack: i cant find pidgin though
[16:17] <grawity> yitehay: um, you didn't.
[16:17] <grawity> kelmix: #ubuntu-es?
[16:17] <yitehay>  can anyone tell me the number of host there are to be comming from an Internet Service Provider?<<<
[16:17] <kelmix> ok thankxxxx!!
[16:17] <pepperjack> lilcoconut: open a terminal.  what does sudo apt-get install pidgin     <--- what does that say?
[16:18] <jacquesdupontd> re
[16:18] <grawity> capneb: generally, pasting one or two lines directly to the channel is okay; Three or more - pastebin. Now, can you tell the permissions of $HOME? ls -ld .
[16:19] <sipior> yitehay: which ISP? what do you mean by hosts? do you mean a count of ip addresses? this is what is meant by specific. also, why do you want to know, and how is ubuntu involved?
[16:19] <jacquesdupontd> any news xorg problem with ati old card and fglrx ?
[16:19] <lilcoconut> pepperjack: i am confused... i have the german ubuntu version....
[16:20] <oskar-> jacquesdupontd:  how old is the ati card?
[16:20] <lilcoconut> pepperjack: could it be that Kopete also works for using icq or msn?
[16:20] <capneb> cannot find the .Trash. Trying to see if there is something big in the trash. Problem seems to be that the disk is full, even though it shows 161 GB available. Where is trash? Isn't it /home/mgr/.Trash?
[16:20] <Vaevictus> papapep: yeah, update-rc.d is a pile of junk too.
[16:20] <th0r> capneb: trash is in ~/.local/share/Trash
[16:20] <tdn> How do I set Ubuntu to have a static IP instead of using DHCP and also have network enabled when no user is logged in?
[16:20] <King_tiger_claw> Guys is there any channel for rtlinux?
[16:21] <Vaevictus> papapep: basically only good for one time use, during install
[16:21] <kelmix> necesito ayudaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[16:21] <jacquesdupontd> oskar-, it's an ati radeon 7000 igp
[16:21] <capneb> not finding it there either!?! Argh!
[16:21] <jacquesdupontd> i know its very old but fglrx was working on older ubuntu
[16:22] <stew> Vaevictus: in what way is it a pile of junk?  do you just not like the interface?
[16:22] <yitehay> (sipior) The ISP should'nt matter the question is,was were and presently still stands "how many hosts are there suppose to be comming from any ISP?....The reason to know is because I dont know and thought that since this is a channel for information relating to computers as well as ubuntu I should be able to get a sensible answer
[16:22] <capneb> looked in ~/Desktop ~/.local/share can't find Trash
[16:22] <King_tiger_claw> rtlinux?
[16:22] <sipior> tdn: add a stanza to /etc/network/interfaces describing the connection. the syntax for that file can be found via "man interfaces".
[16:22] <grawity> capneb: Mine is /home/grawity/.local/share/Trash/
[16:22] <dewdude> jacquesdupontd, are you talking about the fact the propritary binary drivers for ATI cards doesn't work in Jaunty with some ATI cards?
[16:22] <tdn> sipior, ok. And then it will work without NetworkManager?
[16:22] <sipior> yitehay: try asking a sensible question, if you would like a sensible answer.
[16:22] <King_tiger_claw> Any channel for rtlinux?
[16:23] <th0r> grawity: and I thought it was ~/.local.share/Trash <smile>
[16:23] <sipior> tdn: should do, yes.
[16:23] <ShortWave> hi all
[16:23] <thiebaude> garyalex, are you still here?
[16:23] <tdn> sipior, ok
[16:23] <King_tiger_claw> GUYS
[16:23] <tdn> sipior, thanks.
[16:23] <lilcoconut> ok and then i have another problem, too
[16:23] <sebsebseb> !ot |  King_tiger_claw
[16:23] <Vaevictus> stew: it has no interface, and it complains about doing anything :)
[16:23] <oskar-> jacquesdupontd:  i have a also have an old ati card, a 9200 se, and it is well supported by the open source driver in my opinion. with gentoo and fglxr i also had problems...
[16:23] <ShortWave> I'm trying to do an install, and I'm getting a failure on libxapian
[16:23] <jacquesdupontd> dewdude, exactly
[16:23] <dewdude> King_tiger_claw, this is not the place to ask
[16:23] <King_tiger_claw> ANY CHANNEL FOR RTLINUX
[16:23] <sebsebseb> !caps |  King_tiger_claw
[16:23] <Myrtti> King_tiger_claw: this isn't yellow pages of freenode
[16:23] <yitehay> (spior)<<<Just dont reply to my questions if you dont like them or dont know the answer....how stupid can one be
[16:23] <ShortWave> King_tiger_claw: Uh. Are you blind?
[16:23] <sipior> King_tiger_claw: google broken, friend?
[16:23] <King_tiger_claw> Then show me the path please.
[16:24] <stew> Vaevictus: I don't know about it complaining.  but perhaps try sysv-rc-conf or sysv-rc or rcconf
[16:24] <Vaevictus> stew: all i want is to disable dovecot from all runlevels, and none of those tools work for it.  i could rename or edit the links manually, but it seems strange that no tool can manage that.
[16:24] <lilcoconut> does anyone know which programm i can install instead of ADOBE FLASH PLAYER?
[16:24] <dewdude> jacquesdupontd, it's got to do with ATI put a bunch of cards in legacy status
[16:24] <sipior> yitehay: i've yet to figure out what your question is.
[16:24] <Vaevictus> stew: rcconf isn't picking up all the entries.
[16:24] <oskar-> King_tiger_claw:  maybe noone knows of a rtlinux channel
[16:24] <sebsebseb> King_tiger_claw: ask in
[16:24] <dewdude> the cards in legacy status have to use the older binary package, which is incompatible with the version of X used in Jaunty
[16:24] <grawity> lilcoconut: You could try Gnash (but others say it sucks).
[16:24] <sterna> hi, will 9.10 server be LTS? where can i check that?
[16:24] <sebsebseb> King_tiger_claw: #freenode or  do a /list and search for yourself
[16:24] <jacquesdupontd> oskar-, im actually on open source drivers that are very cool except for games and im sur ei could win more fps on glxgears if i was running with the propriety drivers
[16:24] <stefg> lilcoconut: evince is ubuntus default pdf viewer
[16:24] <dewdude> if you want to use propritary drivers, you'll need to use an older version
[16:24] <sipior> yitehay: but let's just say the answer is "42". there are always 42 hosts coming from every ISP in the entire world.
[16:24] <sebsebseb> sterna: no
[16:24] <King_tiger_claw> I am from my mobile phone.
[16:24] <dewdude> jacquesdupontd, probably not. the opensource drivers seem to be pretty good
[16:24] <jacquesdupontd> oskar-, in fact for all that is in 3d
[16:24] <sebsebseb> sterna: next LTS will be 10.04
[16:24] <pepperjack> !flash | lilcoconut
[16:24] <jacquesdupontd> oskar-, but compiz-fusion is working perfectly
[16:24] <King_tiger_claw> So cant search it from google now.
[16:24] <ShortWave> I find it hard to believe that someone smart enough to get into IRC, and EVIDENTLY knowledgable to know about rtlinux, has to be in here, ASKING if any of us knows of an rtlinux channel. I find that confusing.
[16:25] <jacquesdupontd> oskar-, suprisingly btw
[16:25] <dewdude> jacquesdupontd, you do know glxgears isn't a benchmark right?
[16:25] <King_tiger_claw> I am from my mobile phone.
[16:25] <th0r> sipior: I knew it was 42! had to be
[16:25] <sterna> sebsebseb: i need a newer kernel because areca drivers are broken with 2.6.24
[16:25] <dewdude> King_tiger_claw, we don't care. obviously you don't know how to IRC properly
[16:25] <grawity> ShortWave: Phones generally don't support multitasking. It's either the IRC client, or the browser, or ...
[16:25] <jacquesdupontd> dewdude, for sure that i what i just told, it makes 5 years im on linux
[16:25] <Myrtti> moving on
[16:25] <sebsebseb> sterna: which version of Ubuntu are you on?
[16:25] <stefg> ShortWave: welcome to #ubuntu , where everything is possible ...
[16:25] <yitehay> well if you've yet to figure my question out then dont reply to my question asking what my my question is...better yet if I ask another question just dont answer it ok...THANKS
[16:25] <sterna> sebsebseb: what's the standard way to do that? i'm on 8.04 LTS
[16:26] <grawity> dewdude: How the hell do you google without closing the IRC client?
[16:26] <King_tiger_claw> In that time you could tell me where I should go.
[16:26] <oskar-> jacquesdupontd:  glxgears is not a benchmark... ;)
[16:26] <sebsebseb> sterna: I see,  well  I think there's a ppa for a later kernel  for 8.04 LTS as well
[16:26] <jacquesdupontd> dewdude, im at 447 fps with a pretty good xorg.conf on glxgears
[16:26] <dewdude> uhm....use a better phone or don't IRC mobilly?
[16:26] <sterna> sebsebseb: ah, ppa, thanks, that's all i need
[16:26] <Vaevictus> stew: sysv-rc-conf looks perfect.  thanks for the suggestion
[16:26] <Myrtti> grawity: high end mobile phones do have multitasking ;-)
[16:26] <lilcoconut> ok thx for your help guys :) i will probably need some more sooner or later.. but at first im done :)
[16:26] <King_tiger_claw> If you do not know tell me.
[16:26] <ShortWave> crap

[16:26] <ShortWave> King_tiger_claw: Do you really want to hear AN ENTIRE CHANNEL say "I don't know"?
[16:26] <Myrtti> grawity: nokia was what I had in mind
[16:26] <ShortWave> Hrm
[16:27] <King_tiger_claw> If you know which channel I should go tell me please.
[16:27] <Myrtti> King_tiger_claw: no, we don't know.
[16:27] <grawity> Myrtti: Do Nokia phones have a SMB server builtin? :)

[16:27] <ShortWave> So I'm getting a failure on installing latest ubuntu, where libxapian is dying
[16:27] <stew> Vaevictus: note that just removing the symlinks isn't recommended, since they will reappear upon upgrade,  its best to rename S?? to K?? as documented in the update-rc.d manpage.  I'm not sure which sysv-rc-conf does
[16:27] <Vaevictus> stew: maybe not perfect, (it didn't provide for reordering or changing priorities, and didn't invert the number when changing from S to K ... (S24 to K76 for example), but not really.
[16:28] <capneb> still unable to locate trash .trash .Trash or Trash for this user.
[16:28] <grawity> capneb: Does "this user" even have a trash?
[16:28] <bastidrazor> !trash | capneb
[16:28] <King_tiger_claw> You could say that before thank. You guys for giving me a great help by saying lot of important details on where I am.
[16:28] <sipior> yitehay: i think the point is: no one here knows what the hell you are talking about. i tried to get some sort of clarification out of you to help, and got the same question repeated for my trouble. have you considered the possibility that your question is simply phrased badly? could you word it differently?
[16:28] <grawity> capneb: find ~ -iname '*trash' -type d
[16:28] <ShortWave> King_tiger_claw: It might help you if you understood more about IRC in general, like perhaps...where to look to find this information.
[16:28] <Vaevictus> stew: sysv-rc-conf renamed S24dovecot to K24dovecot... which is good enough.  probably should have been K76 though
[16:29] <capneb> well i suppose not. will look at other users. we have 8.0.4. well ok thanks.
[16:29] <King_tiger_claw> No one know about rtlinux channel in this room!! O.o
[16:29] <grawity> capneb: Did you fix the permission problem too?
[16:29] <Pici> King_tiger_claw: Ask in #freenode, we cannot help you here.
[16:29] <mpalatnik> i did apt-get install perl and got perl v5.1.0
[16:29] <sipior> King_tiger_claw: try looking in #rtlinux.
[16:29] <mpalatnik> is 5.88 not avalable on apt-get?
[16:29] <grawity> King_tiger_claw: Either go to #freenode, or use the ALIS service.
[16:29] <King_tiger_claw> People forget to help each other. That is very sad. Bye guys
[16:29] <capneb> nope. not yet. we're still checking
[16:30] <thiebaude> King_tiger_claw, Join the #linux-rt channel
[16:30] <grawity> mpalatnik: YOu sure it's 5.1.0 and not 5.10.0?

[16:42] <jlilly> hi all. Sometimes, my sound cuts out. If I reboot, it works fine. Is there a way to reset it without restarting my computer?
[16:43] <jlilly> I think the cutting out is related to playing multiple sounds at once.
[16:43] <jlilly> ie: getting an IM when music is playing.
[16:43]  * jlilly isn't sure of that though.
[16:43] <help`> jlilly did you try to reload alsa ?
[16:43] <jlilly> help`: No. How do I do that?
[16:43] <grawity> help`: for files, permission = 0666 & ~umask
[16:43] <grawity> help`: it's octal, by the way
[16:43] <UnderSampled> Hello
[16:44] <help`> grawity ahh 0666 files and directory 0777 ?

[16:45] <fccf> UnderSampled: dmesg ... see if anything changes
[16:46] <UnderSampled> fccf: how would I know if something changed?
[16:46] <grawity> help`: if, for example, the umask is 0122 and you're creating a file, the permissions are calculated like this: 0666 & ~0122 == 0664   (& means binary 'AND', ~ means 'NOT')

[16:47] <help`> jlilly of if there is force-reload check by typing:  sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils it will paste for you
[16:47] <erUSUL> help`: you can sse that my kernel was boot with ro quiet splash and root=UUID..... parameters
[16:47] <grawity> jorgp: I use exim4, because all I need can be set with dpkg-reconfigure ... but postfix is nice too.  Whatever you use, remember: 'sendmail' configs can drive you insane.
[16:47] <fccf> UnderSampled: you could have saved a dmesg before adding boot param .. and did the same after adding it ... you'd then diff it and see what changed

[16:56] <HardDisk> sorry
[16:56] <HardDisk> sudo fdisk -l
[16:56] <capneb> it's not permissions. it was two folders in /home/tmp0xyz and /home/tmp1xyz these had incomplete restores of the entire home folder, which hanged when the disk got full and sbackup did not remove them. So the disk was inherently full. I removed them and things are OK. But it was NOT permissions related.

[17:01] <mataks> is there a program in linux that  is like deepfreeze?
[17:01] <bastidrazor> mataks, what is deepfreeze?
[17:01] <bullgard4> mbeierl: You missed the subject: I did not ask for the command but for the indicated service.
[17:01] <erUSUL> UnderSampled: no problem
[17:01] <onexused> Since I updated a couple days ago, I can no longer wake my laptop up from hibernation.  I can put it to sleep, but trying to turn it on again, it seems to try to start up normally, and my root directory is mounted read-only.  Can I do something to fix this?
[17:02] <grawity> bullgard4: rsync is both the service and the command that uses it.
[17:02] <mbeierl> bullgard4: you asked what the function of the command is...  That quotation explains what rsync can do
[17:02] <bullgard4> mbeierl: No I did not.
[17:02] <bastidrazor> mataks, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_Freeze_%28software%29
[17:03] <onexused> bastidrazor: It restores your computer to a saved state every time you start up.  Useful for Internet cafés and libraries and such that don't want users to be able to make lasting changes.
[17:03] <mbeierl> bullgard4: sorry, I misinterpreted "what is the functionality of..." to mean what does it do.
[17:03] <bullgard4> grawity: Can you elaborate that rsync is a service.
[17:04] <bastidrazor> mataks, http://www.faronics.com/html/DFLinux.asp
[17:04] <judithtgilde> hi. Is there a You tube video download pluggin or something? I don't want to install flash.
[17:04] <jpds> bullgard4: Rsync has a daemon mode too.
[17:04] <TwoToneSpirit> mataks, bastidrazor:  I'm also interested in this question.  Can one simply reset the contents of a /home/publicuser directory each time?  Or perhaps centrally store a home directory for members on a server that will be consistent no matter where on a LAN they log on?  I'm sure this is possible - what are the good resources to embark on such a project?

[17:19] <Myrtti> xdpker91: yritäs käyttäytyä
[17:19] <th0r> mattgyver: as I understand it the move is to parallel startup of various processes, so a sequential operation like the old sysv init scripts will no longer work.

[17:19] <jaikishan> do you mean I boot in a recovery mode now ?

[17:20] <LexLuth0r> thanks guys
[17:20] <th0r> mattgyver: in the skeleton you define, among other things, any modules or scripts that must be completed before this script can execute. Then update-rc.d takes care of making sure your script doesn't start too early

[17:21] <Stanley_> Not sure there's a specific place to ask this but I'm sure there are some people here that may know the answer... I run ubuntu on 3 computers and windows on 2, I'm a web developer and it's _very_ painful to keep the list of FTP connections in filezilla updated across all 5 systems. I add about 3-4 a month on average. Is there any FTP client or tricks that let you sync your saved connections across different computers ???
[17:21] <yitehay> Well can someone go to this link and tell me how to install this program in my terminal shell?<<<<>>>> http://moblock-deb.sourceforge.net/

[17:23] <mugwort13> Hi all, having a problem getting a kodak p850 connected to 9.04.   The camera connects fine to slackware & fedora, just not ubuntu.  Am I doing something wrong? or forgetting to install a certain package?

[17:24] <sHyLoCk_> !deb > yitehay
[17:24] <jrib> Hilikus: read the tutorial at http://www.regular-expressions.info/, that's a pretty simple construct.  Read what '.' and '*' do
[17:24] <ajay_> Stanley_: no use.. it keeps saying the same thing
[17:24] <grawity> kaffien: I'm sure Totem and VLC support MPEG4.

[17:25] <aboyz> anyone know how to setup a cron to run on August 7 2009? I can't firgure it out.. please advise.. thanks..
[17:25] <mattgyver> yitehay, you have to add the repo to your sources and install either from synaptic or apt-get
[17:25] <ajay_> Stanley_: ok :)
[17:25] <hhlp> yitehay, see Grab the packages!m follow the instrution add repository to your source list do an sudo apt-get update and you can install the packed via synaptic
[17:25] <sHyLoCk_> !crond
[17:25] <sHyLoCk_> !cron
[17:25] <keepguessing> Hi I have just done a fresh installation of ubuntu 9.04 ... The output of my uname -a shows the build is of type i686 .. when i do perl -v it shows i486 ... Is this not wrong
[17:25] <jrib> aboyz: cron is for things run at regular intervals.  « at » is for things run at a specified time
[17:26] <aboyz> jrib, i need it to run on agust 7
[17:26] <jrib> aboyz: right. Use at
[17:26] <yitehay> (hhlp)<<...ok when I do a sudo apt-get update then the repo I need will appear?<<<<
[17:26] <mattgyver> keepguessing, no, thats normal
[17:26] <mattgyver> keepguessing, "This is perl, v5.10.0 built for i486-linux-gnu-thread-multi"
[17:27] <keepguessing> hmm but my ubuntu is i686 .. would not i have problems later
[17:27] <mattgyver> yitehay, when you add the repo it will be able to find the package
[17:27] <onexused> My laptop won't resume from hibernate after a recent update.  What can I check?
[17:27] <mattgyver> keepguessing, no
[17:28] <mattgyver> keepguessing, its built for 486+
[17:28] <grawity> onexused: Do you use the proprietary nVidia drivers? They break standby/hibernate completely. (I'm not sure about ATi and others)
[17:28] <uns3en_> okay i got new error
[17:28] <hhlp> yitehay, Add to /etc/apt/sources.list, Add my gpg key, sudo aptitude update, sudo aptitude install moblock blockcontrol mobloquer folow the instruction in the Grab the packages!
[17:29] <uns3en_> FATAL: Error inserting acerhdf (/lib/modules/2.6.27-8-eeepc/kernel/drivers/misc/acerhdf.ko): Operation not permitted ... ? what should i do
[17:29] <uns3en_> i just tried modprobe acerhdf
[17:29] <onexused> grawity: This laptop has a Intel video card only.  Would video drivers cause the laptop to try booting normally, and as a result have the root partition mounted read-only?
[17:30] <yitehay> )hhlp)..your saying I need to do sudo /etc/apt/sources.list first?
[17:30] <Shortguy109> Is there a command you can use or something to add audio to a video?
[17:30] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[17:30] <grawity> onexused: Hmm, probably no.
[17:30] <tj83_> are there any ITT-Tech students in the house? PM me plz if you are.
[17:30] <aboyz> 0 0 7 8 *
[17:30] <onexused> Why do the floodbots keep saying !netsplit?
[17:30] <jrib> aboyz: cron will not do what you want.  Use at.  Read « man at »
[17:31] <onexused> grawity: Okay.  Any other ideas?  Before the update a couple days ago, hibernate worked like I'd expect it to.
[17:31] <RaWolf> mmm i have installed kismet but i got no idea how to start it up
[17:31] <hhlp> yes yitehay sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list to edit it in a terminal
[17:31] <veggteppe> Anyone here that know why my computer basicly, "buggs" when i try to minimize a game? :P
[17:31] <Shortguy109> Is there a command you can use or something to add audio to a video?
[17:31] <yitehay> ok
[17:32] <jrib> aboyz: unless you meant you want to run it on august 7th every year?
[17:32] <Frank83> Greetings. Is there a channel dedicated to "Wine"?

[17:32] <emmanuel_> yo
[17:32] <tj83_> are there any ITT-Tech students in the house? PM me plz if you are. important project you might be interested in.
[17:32] <grawity> onexused: Does 'dmesg' say anything useful after resume?
[17:33] <Frank83> Thanks! That's right here in FreeNode too, right?
[17:33] <grawity> onexused: btw, this might be useful: sudo mount -o remount,rw; dmesg > dmesg.txt
[17:33] <grawity> Frank83: Yes.
[17:33] <mu> So I just installed Ubuntu and it finds my mounted media, namely a USB drive and a second hard-disk. I need to rename these, but when I try to do so in gksudo nautilus it tells me device is busy. How may I unmount and rename these?
[17:33] <tyson_> can someone help me create a VPN?...all the buttons in the network manager are grayed out :(
[17:33] <Frank83> Thanks for the help!
[17:33] <grawity> tyson_: What kind of VPN?
[17:33] <grawity> !tab
[17:33] <grawity> Hmm
[17:33] <onexused> garwity: I'd have to check.  I don't remember, unfortunately.  I'll try hibernating and resuming, then asking someone later, after I get this work done.
[17:34] <FloodBot3> !netsplit
[17:34] <Shortguy109> Is there a command you can use or something to add audio to a video?
[17:34] <onexused> grawity: remount - okay.
[17:34] <tyson_> i am trying to connect to itshidden.com
[17:34] <grawity> Shortguy109: mencoder (and probably ffmpeg) can do that, but I don't know how exactly.
[17:34] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[17:34] <Shortguy109> grawity, yeah i thought ffmpeg might be able to xD i just don't know how either
[17:35] <grawity> FloodBot1: Um, shut up, thanks.
[17:35] <Myrtti> grawity: it's a *BOT*
[17:35] <yitehay> (hhlp)...I've ran the sudo nano /etc/apt/sources. and somthing came up at the bottom of the page I do not understand and I cant click on anything at all
[17:35] <grawity> Myrtti: I *know*
[17:35] <mattgyver> shortguy, you can also use Pitivi if you want a gui app
[17:35] <grawity> yitehay: it's sources.list, not 'sources'
[17:36] <jrib> aboyz: did you see my question?
[17:36] <grawity> yitehay: Use Ctrl-X to exit 'nano'.
[17:36] <FloodBot2> !netsplit
[17:36] <mu> After unmounting a device, how am I to rename it so that it appears in my /media/ as the renamed folder?
[17:37] <grawity> tyson_: itshidden.com VPN is PPTP, so you need network-manager-pptp and pptp-linux packages.
[17:37] <Dimensions> Hiya ... i have a ubuntu dedicated server with two ips ... i just added a second website to host on it on second ip ... i have added /etc/apache2/sites-available/domain1.com and domain2.com do i need to change any thing in /etc/apach2/sites-available/default file ?
[17:37] <mu> I use umount /dev/sdc1 ... is there a file that auto mounts to a specific file that I can edit?
[17:37] <Shortguy109> grawity, yeah i thought ffmpeg might be able to xD i just don't know how either
[17:37] <Shortguy109> oops wrong thing
[17:37] <Shortguy109> Is there a command you can use or something to add audio to a video?
[17:37] <tyson_> ok, thanks grawity...i will work with that info for a while
[17:37] <bastidrazor> yitehay, it would actually be easier to use gedit .. gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[17:38] <keyhack> It appears that only eth0 or eth1 can work at a time, not both at the same time? I can only ping eth1 IP address if I ifdown eth0, how can I have both eth0 and eth1 working at the same time?
[17:38] <thiebaude> yitehay, exactly
[17:38] <jrib> Dimensions: try #apache probably
[17:38] <metropolis> how do i find out what my wireless card's chip is?
[17:38] <LordLandon> metropolis: lspci
[17:38] <yitehay> (hhlp)..i've exit out the nano
[17:39] <Dimensions> thanks jrib :) trying my luck there too as hosting is on ubuntu so thought mite be related ...
[17:39] <eon01> Hi everybody
[17:39] <Ankari> I'm having trouble signing the CoC, can someone help
[17:39] <Guest20606> hi
[17:39] <jrib> Dimensions: afaik default is just another site just like domain1 and domain2
[17:39] <pintook> where do i go to change my mouse click settings pls
[17:39] <uns3en_> uh ... can anyone help me because i'm total n00b. i have easypeasy 1.1 and modprobe says operation not permitted on acerhdf
[17:39] <Shortguy109> Is there a command you can use or something to add audio to a video?
[17:40] <pintook> where do i go to change my mouse click settings pls
[17:40] <mu> What file does Ubuntu use to mount file automatically? in /etc/fstab I only find my filesystem, but two of my devices are being mounted and I wish to rename where they mount to.
[17:40] <jrib> pintook: can you be more specific?
[17:40] <yitehay> (bastidrazor)...ok i've pulled up a list of sources...now do I choose which repos I want now?
[17:40] <raph_ael> mu: udev rules
[17:40] <jrib> mu: removable drives like usb sticks?
[17:40] <mehrsteckdose> Has anyone had experience with the stuck keyboard key bug? (https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/124406)
[17:40] <mu> jrib: USB drives, yes.
[17:40] <mu> and evidently hard disks, too, as my second hard disk is also being mounted.
[17:40] <pintook> where do i go to change my mouse click settings pls
[17:40] <jrib> mu: easiest way is to just change their labels.  They'll get mounted to /media/LABEL
[17:40] <raph_ael> uns3en_: modprobe as root
[17:40] <thiebaude> yitehay, you can add which repo you want
[17:41] <bastidrazor> yitehay, the #'s .. delete those in front the the deb and deb-src lines that you want
[17:41] <uns3en_> raph_ael, how ?
[17:41] <yitehay> do I add it in the terminal now?
[17:41] <mu> jrib, I'm aware, that's what I'm trying to change.
[17:41] <jrib> !label > mu
[17:41] <Dimensions> jrib: thanks mate ... thats what i thought but for some reasons domain2.com isn't accessible when trying with www ... but is working only as domain2.com
[17:41] <uns3en_> raph_ael, i'm really clueless
[17:41] <Guest20606> 可以打中文吗？因为我的英文不好
[17:41] <raph_ael> uns3en_: open a terminal, type sudo su, and then modprobe your module
[17:41] <jrib> !cn | Guest20606
[17:41] <mu> Ugh.
[17:41] <mu> How is that easier? If I'm able to specify the mount path then it evades all of that.
[17:42] <mu> But thanks, I suppose.
[17:42] <Guest20606> THINK
[17:42] <eon01> Any one know about SEO tools working under  ubuntu  ?
[17:42] <mehrsteckdose> I totally have the above bug... and it doesn't seem like I can find away around it. =P
[17:42] <Shortguy109> Is there a command you can use or something to add audio to a video?
[17:42] <jrib> mu: umm, changing the label is one command?
[17:42] <mu> Oh
[17:42] <Ankari> Is there a default passphrase?
[17:42] <mu> So I can just use sudo mlabel, then?
[17:42] <yitehay> (bastidrazor) when you say delete the #'s are you saying dont use those?
[17:42] <mu> I mean, I already unmounted the partition.
[17:43] <jrib> mu: sure, just like in the wiki
[17:43] <jrib> !who | mu
[17:43] <mu> jrib: Well, okay. I'll try it then.
[17:44] <pintook> bye
[17:44] <yitehay> from the sources list how do I add them?
[17:44] <Raydiation> is there any good video editor out there?
[17:44] <uns3en_> raph_ael, thank you very lot
[17:44] <Raydiation> im struggling with pitivi
[17:44] <grawity> yitehay: Just delete the # from beginning -- NOT the entire line.
[17:44] <uns3en_> raph_ael, seriously <3 <3
[17:45] <raph_ael> uns3en_: :)
[17:45] <yitehay> ok...when I delete the # do I copy the line then add it to my terminal
[17:45] <yitehay> ?
[17:45] <grawity> ...

[17:47] <yitehay> (thiebaude)...will you answer my pm please?
[17:48] <n8bounds> Just curious. I'm considering the pitch to the brass for a support contract for our servers.
[17:48] <n8bounds> I'd like to hear from some experiences from some real customers
[17:48] <n8bounds> regarding their service
[17:48] <mibocote> can someone post a sample of a ldap entry for a postfix mail alias for ubuntu 9.04?

[17:51] <sachael> thankx, iceroot
[17:51] <ascheel> Anybody know of a way to get a script to execute as root without the sudo requirement?  I tried setuid, but apparently that doesn't work for scripts.  I've also tried prepending 'sudo' to the beginning of the required lines in the script and it's still not working.
[17:51] <porter1> Anyone know where I can find a Wubi channel?
[17:51] <yitehay> it says I have jaunty 9.04 version
[17:51] <ascheel> porter1: wubi questions can probably be answered in here
[17:52] <thiebaude> ok
[17:52] <porter1> Well, this is more about the disk format, and whether I can use dd with it..\
[17:52] <thiebaude> yitehay, the first line under 9.04
[17:52] <iceroot> eon01: popularity checker (pagerank and so on) can be done with a firefox addon but dont know th name
[17:53] <thiebaude> yitehay, copy and paste that to the last line in sources.list
[17:53] <porter1> I'm trying to go the opposite direction most people are: I want a linux partition I have to act as the disk for wubi
[17:53] <aaronvarghese_> can som1 remote me
[17:53] <thiebaude> yitehay,  gksudo /etc/apt/sources/list
[17:53] <porter1> By way of copying of course
[17:53] <iceroot> aaronvarghese_: why?
[17:53] <thiebaude> yitehay, thats all that is to it
[17:54] <yitehay> well I already have the source list up but I need to add a repos from it I think
[17:54] <iceroot> thiebaude: you mean gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list  ?
[17:54] <thiebaude> iceroot, my bad
[17:54] <thiebaude> i forgot gedit
[17:54] <mibocote> can someone post a sample of a ldap entry for a postfix mail alias?
[17:55] <eon01> iceroot, Yes I know it can be done with SEO toolbar in FF , in reality I'm seraching a tool that can rewrite
[17:55] <thiebaude> yitehay, im always adding things to the soureces.list
[17:55] <iceroot> eon01: ah ok, sorry dont know
[17:55] <deleric> eon01 look at apache mod_rewrite
[17:55] <aaronvarghese__> remote desktop plz
[17:56] <yitehay> ok i paste the first line and it did nothing at all
[17:56] <Myrtti> aaronvarghese__: WHY?
[17:56] <yitehay> do i need to push enter after adding that line?
[17:56] <thiebaude> yitehay, save it
[17:56] <yitehay> so dont copy and paste it in the terminal?
[17:57] <eon01> deleric, It's not rewriting URL , it's rewriting articles that I wrote to increase their SEF
[17:57] <thiebaude> yitehay, copy from the link you gave me paste it to the sources.list
[17:57] <iceroot> aaronvarghese_: please ask a real question and dont spam the channel, thank you
[17:57] <thiebaude> copy and paste
[17:57] <yitehay> ok and then save it ok I got cha now
[17:57] <yitehay> hold on
[17:57] <thiebaude> yep
[17:58] <yitehay> so do I close the sources list now?

[18:00] <Myrtti> !hardware | douwei
[18:00] <titi__> salut
[18:00] <thiebaude> iceroot, thanks for mentioning that
[18:00] <ascheel> douwei: yeah or what Myrtti said.  :)
[18:00] <yitehay> and the following signatures couldn't be verified...
[18:00] <douwei> its called !hardware?
[18:00] <grawity> douwei: Read the message from ubottu.
[18:00] <OEP> deco, you want to be notified by command line like if you get an email to your gmail account?
[18:00] <Myrtti> douwei: did you see the links ubottu gave you?

[18:01] <grawity> deco: The notification only works for local mailboxes - it can't check remote ones. (You could use Fetchmail, but that probably won't be what you want.)
[18:01] <eon01> deleric, You know writing an article wich is SEF is not a normal task , it demands some knowledge . There are many issues involved in writing an article. I'm searching for a tool that can help me create efficient articles
[18:01] <thiebaude> yitehay, add the gpg key
[18:01] <yitehay> (thiebaude)....can you tell me whick gpg key ring to add from that link I gave you?
[18:01] <eon01> deleric, most of those tools are not free
[18:02] <deleric> eon01 what tools are you referring too?
[18:02] <thiebaude> gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net --recv-keys 9072870B and gpg --export --armor 9072870B | sudo apt-key add -
[18:02] <thiebaude> yitehay,
[18:02] <ctmjr> OEP: try gksu gedt /etc/X11/xorg.conf  change nv to vesa under the device section, but do not be surprised if your resolution changes
[18:03] <_rubydiamond> test
[18:03] <thiebaude> yitehay, copy and paste to a terminal and then update
[18:03] <OEP> ctmjr, the auto-configurator has left xorg.conf very minimal... can dpkg-reconfigure generate an xorg.conf file to be more like a tradtional one?
[18:04] <eon01> deleric, http://www.squidoo.com/article-writing-software-reviews
[18:04] <porter1> Any Wubi experts out there?
[18:04] <thiebaude> !wubi
[18:05] <ascheel> !ask | porter1
[18:05] <thiebaude> yitehay, did it work?
[18:05] <buntunuby> Hello everyone once again i need some help on my lenovo laptop i can't get the wifi to connect i drop down the wifi list but it is empty showing no connections available what do i need to do to fix this???????
[18:05] <Bob_Dole> I noticed uninstalling Ubuntu from wubi has a tendency to not remove it from boot.ini
[18:05] <Cocodude> Hello there. I think I've managed to buy a wireless keyboard (with integrated touchpad) which is incompatible with Linux, or at least the stock kernel with the latest Ubuntu. Where's the best place to report this?
[18:06] <Cocodude> It appears to support the standard HID profile, and works under the BIOS.
[18:06] <Howard> Can Ubuntu 9.04 properly display with a video card that uses only a DVI connection and has no option for VGA? I have been having problems for several month with the display and a new card, and just realized that your system requirements requires a VGA card. I'm using the desktop install with GDM.
[18:06] <deleric> eon01, a i see you want to generate lots of fake articles to get high up in google
[18:07] <ctmjr> OEP: that will pretty much give you what you have now if you want more from your graphics card install the nvidia driver from hardwar-driver option in the main menu
[18:07] <Cocodude> Howard: I've installed Ubuntu cleanly on my nVidia 7600 GS which only has DVI outs
[18:07] <ascheel> Howard: DVI - SVGA adapters are usually supplied with all video cards and will work just fine.  I don't know of any reason why DVI output wouldn't work, though.
[18:07] <OEP> ctmjr, hopefully there is a command-line method for that... no graphics hehe :)
[18:08] <OEP> I'll try it out and see what happens
[18:08] <puff> Is there any way to autoamtically detect and remove corrupted files from my  ipod?
[18:08] <sebsebseb> Bob_Dole: yeah Wubi is bad really
[18:08] <Howard> Well then I must revert to my original suspicion that there is not a working driver for the NVIDIA Geforce 9500 GT
[18:08] <thiebaude> sebsebseb, i agree
[18:08] <eon01> deleric, it's not fake article , my own article will be rewritten , because of my bad english
[18:08] <ascheel> puff: corrupt how?
[18:08] <deco> OEP: no what grawity said :P
[18:08] <aaronvarghese__> huhuh
[18:08] <sebsebseb> Bob_Dole: also really  what it does, is put's it in a section of  Windows,  and hacks the boot loaders
[18:08] <aaronvarghese__> uhu
[18:08] <aaronvarghese__> am i hurd
[18:08] <ascheel> puff: are you using the iPod as a mass storage device and files you've stored on it are corrupt?
[18:09] <sebsebseb> Bob_Dole: or something like that
[18:09] <grawity> deco: What did I say O_o
[18:09]  * Bob_Dole runs ubuntu exclusively on all but 1 of his personal machines, and most of the machines he is the administrator of.
[18:09] <sebsebseb> aaronvarghese_: no as far as I know your not GNU  Hurd  :D
[18:09] <thiebaude> yep it adds an entry to the bootloader
[18:09] <alex__> Does crunchbang use xfce?
[18:10] <yitehay> (thiebaude)...yess it worked and it's now adding and removing things
[18:10] <deco> grawity: to use fetchmail
[18:10] <yitehay> I did'nt know I had to add both keyrings but I did and it worked
[18:10] <sebsebseb> Bob_Dole: well  on personal computers people tend to be the admin
[18:10] <moltenbobcat> alex__: no crunchbang uses openbox
[18:10] <OEP> deco, fetchmail will put it in your local inbox, but I like the way ubuntu integrates with evolution/thunderbird well enough
[18:10] <lufis> Is there a way to view CD rom drive information like lspci?
[18:10] <thiebaude> yitehay, great
[18:10] <eon01> deleric, So ?
[18:10] <erUSUL> !undelete
[18:10] <Howard> Has anyone gotten the driver correctly installed with a GeForce 9500 GT?
[18:11] <buntunuby> ok my wifi list is empty assuming its cause i lost proprietary drivers somehow when i try to reactivate the proprietary driver it says may have to manually fix this package how do i fix it i am totally content using linux without understanding linux as it works quite well for me been doing it for 6 or 7 months now and love it but i count on you folks who understand it to fix my booboos can anyone please help me
[18:11] <sebsebseb> alex__: no
[18:11] <sebsebseb> alex__: ,but I guess it can be installed, but then it's not exactly crunchbang,  also crunchbang is based on Ubuntu, but not supported in here
[18:11] <Bob_Dole> sebsebseb, I mean, I manage the machines, I do the updates, etc. I'm the administrator for 15 boxes.
[18:11] <RaWolf> does anyone know how kismet work?
[18:12] <deleric> eon01 from the site "Generate Hundreds of Unique Articles With ArticleApps Spinner"
[18:12] <puff> ascheel:  No, i'm using the ipod as an ipod.
[18:12] <alex__> msg sebsebseb ok thanks
[18:12] <alex__> damn i keep forgetting how to private message
[18:12] <alex__> people
[18:12] <sebsebseb> alex__: you don't need to do your thank you's in pm
[18:12] <yitehay> (thiebaude)...why are you here helping people while using windows os?
[18:12] <Bob_Dole> alex__, well, first, you need to /msg
[18:13] <puff> ascheel: Something odd happened (still dunno what) and I had to haved a friend use itunes to restore it.  However, now apparently some of the songs are corrupted.
[18:13] <thiebaude> yitehay,i dual boot
[18:13] <sebsebseb> thiebaude: busted :D
[18:13] <thiebaude> sebsebseb, haha
[18:13] <eon01> deleric,  sorry but I'm not good at english , and I can't read all the site even I read it I will not undrestand a great thing
[18:13] <puff> I want a command-line ipod UI :-)
[18:13] <RaWolf> does anyone know how kismet work?
[18:13] <ascheel> eon01: what is your native language?
[18:14] <thiebaude> sebsebseb, offtopic, but i vant help it,lol
[18:14] <thiebaude> cant
[18:14] <buntunuby> I need help please ok my wifi list is empty assuming its cause i lost proprietary drivers somehow when i try to reactivate the proprietary driver it says may have to manually fix this package how do i fix it i am totally content using linux without understanding linux as it works quite well for me been doing it for 6 or 7 months now and love it but i count on you folks who understand it to fix my booboos can anyone please help me
[18:14] <ascheel> puff: my advice is to contact Apple support as this is the Ubuntu support channel and that is WAY offtopic.
[18:14] <reya276> How can I Install the Adobe Flash plugin on Ubuntu 9.04 64bit?
[18:14] <wildc4rd> evening all
[18:15] <deleric> eon01, no problem, but i think if you want software like wordflood (creating synonims etc) a paid app would be the way to go. I don't know any opensource ones
[18:15] <reya276> I already installed the Ubuntu-restricted-extras but...not working
[18:15] <ascheel> reya276: have you tried:  sudo apt-get install flashplayer-nonfree
[18:15] <reya276> no let me try that
[18:15] <ascheel> reya276: k
[18:15] <deleric> eon01, but you can always check sites like http://www.osalt.com/
[18:15] <thiebaude> bbl
[18:15] <tyson_> grawity, i think i have all the VPN settings correct for connecting to itshidden, but nothing happens when i try to connect.  Is there a way to see an error message or read a log file of what is happening?
[18:15] <eon01> OK , deleric  Thanks
[18:15] <puff> ascheel:  I don't have a mac, or a windows, just linux.  I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to fix it.
[18:16] <reya276> ascheel: Reading state information... Done
[18:16] <reya276> E: Couldn't find package flashplayer-nonfree
[18:16] <puff> ascheel: That is,if there's an easier way to fix it..
[18:16] <grawity> tyson_: Ubuntu, like most Linux systems, use syslog -- so run 'tail -f /var/log/syslog' on the terminal, and then reconnect.
[18:16] <puff> ascheel:  Than simplyt reformatting it.
[18:16] <mehrsteckdose> Anyone have any luck with the dreaded "Keyboard keys get stuck and repeat" bug? - > https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/124406
[18:17] <buntunuby> can anybody spare a moment to help an uneducated fool pleeeaaasssse
[18:17] <mehrsteckdose> (Please don't make me switch to Fedora!)
[18:17] <sebsebseb> mehrsteckdose: nothing wrong with switching to Fedora :)
[18:17] <yitehay> (thiebaude)<<<<<..ok...i started off using dual boot but was having a real bad spyware problem with windows and my ISP which is comcast....when I use windows I have a lot of networks bringing me the internet instead of one network...may I ask what internet service do you have<<<<
[18:17] <sebsebseb> yitehay: he left
[18:18] <sebsebseb> buntunuby: What would you like help with?
[18:18] <mehrsteckdose> sebsebseb: but I'll miss apt!
[18:18] <sebsebseb> mehrsteckdose: yum is similar
[18:18] <tyson_> aschell, try this: http://ubuntu-chronicles.blogspot.com/2009/05/jaunty-flash-firefox.html
[18:18] <RaWolf> does anyone know how kismet work?
[18:18] <buntunuby> my wifi won't list the connections believe its my proprietary drivers when i try to reactivate them it says i need to manually fix the package
[18:18] <mehrsteckdose> sebsebseb: Yes. I suppose. Besides, I doubt the switch would actually fix my problem.
[18:19] <kins_jose> my ubuntu9.04 restarts immediately after sleep/suspend...could someone help
[18:19] <sebsebseb> mehrsteckdose: if you don't have it on the Live CD,  you won't have it in the install I expect
[18:19] <RaWolf> buntunuby, you mean the wireless is one?
[18:19] <RaWolf> on*
[18:19] <buntunuby> ra wolf yes
[18:19] <pianistbaby> how can i find out my "modem address"
[18:19] <mehrsteckdose> sebsebseb: Yeah, unetbootin is finishing up again. I ran out of Debian based distros.
[18:20] <sebsebseb> mehrsteckdose: by the way I wanted to  put Fedora 11 on, but then I got an error message when I tried to partition, and it said it was probably a bug, and to report it, so hmm at that
[18:20] <iceroot> pianistbaby: ip-adress?
[18:20] <RaWolf> buntunuby, and when clicking on the network you see only your cable?
[18:20] <ascheel> buntunuby: do this for us:  Try and activate them again and give us the results in a pastebin.
[18:20] <ascheel> !paste | buntunuby
[18:20] <pianistbaby> iceroot: no. "modem address"
[18:20] <mehrsteckdose> sebsebseb: Hmmm. I'll cross my fingers. Wish me luck. =)
[18:21] <pianistbaby> iceroot: something like this: 00:19:3d:13:c2:34
[18:21] <sebsebseb> mehrsteckdose: I  been doing a lot of distro trying in vm recently also,   but  most of those distros weren't up to date enough etc, so staying with Ubuntu for now
[18:21] <grawity> pianistbaby: That isn't a "modem address"...
[18:21] <pianistbaby> grawity: what is that?
[18:21] <iceroot> pianistbaby: "modem Adress" is a very bad description and can be a lot
[18:21] <grawity> pianistbaby: most often called "MAC address"
[18:22] <UnderSampled> Hello. If I have a kernel panic that I can easily fix with a boot option, how do I recover the error message after I successfully boot?
[18:22] <pianistbaby> grawity: i see. so how can i find my comp's MAC address?
[18:22] <buntunuby> ok i am not on that laptop i am on my dell but it says SystemError :l wasn't able to locate file for the alamin-server package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package
[18:22] <iceroot> pianistbaby: ipconfig will give you all mac-adresses from all devices
[18:22] <grawity> pianistbaby: 'ifconfig' will print all the network interfaces and their hardware addresses.
[18:22] <ascheel> UnderSampled: check /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog
[18:22] <grawity> iceroot: iFconfig
[18:22] <iceroot> grawity: yeah..
[18:23] <grawity> pianistbaby: You probably need the one next to "eth0"
[18:23] <pianistbaby> grawity: ipconfig doesn't work for me ("command not fonud") but ifconfig does.
[18:23] <pianistbaby> is it the "HWaddr"?
[18:23] <iceroot> pianistbaby: ifconfig
[18:23] <ascheel> pianistbaby: ipconfig is the windows command doing the same
[18:23] <grawity> pianistbaby: ipconfig was iceroot's suggestion; and yes, it's the "HWaddr".
[18:24] <buntunuby> RaWolf ok i am not on that laptop i am on my dell but it says SystemError :l wasn't able to locate file for the alamin-server package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package
[18:24] <grawity> pianistbaby: Btw, why do you need that address?
[18:24] <pianistbaby> grawity: iceroot ascheel thank
[18:24] <camello> freenode #supremos :)
[18:24] <pianistbaby> grawity: because i'm checking our household's bandwidth usage. And someone naughty used up more than our monthyl allowance and we have a big bill to pay!!!
[18:24] <pianistbaby> and the bandwidth report is done by "MAC address"
[18:25] <polainas> faaaaa
[18:25] <pianistbaby> the HWaddr in my ifconfig doesn't match either of the 2 "Modem address"es given in the bandwidth usage report when i log onto my isp's account.
[18:25] <polainas> cuanta gente
[18:26] <iceroot> pianistbaby: wifi? then its not eth0
[18:26] <pianistbaby> iceroot: can't be wifi, because i'm on wired.
[18:27] <iceroot> pianistbaby: to there is a router and some clients and the router shows the used traffic with mac-adress?
[18:27] <pianistbaby> iceroot: come again?
[18:27] <ascheel> pianistbaby: if you're using a router, your ISP only sees the router.  It doesn't see the individual PCs behind it
[18:27] <tyson_> grawity, do you understand these log statements (http://dpaste.com/72028/)?...i am trying to connect to vpn.itshidden.com
[18:28] <huffman> pianistbaby: Won't the hwaddr be related to your modem, not the hwaddr in ifconfig
[18:28] <pianistbaby> iceroot: ascheel: i see. yes we are using a router.
[18:28] <pianistbaby> huffman: perhaps. how can i find the hwaddr of our modem then?
[18:28] <Sj4lut> How can I make home folders restricted for anyone but the owner of the home directory?
[18:28] <ascheel> pianistbaby: then the MAC address will be of no use to you.  Anybody use BitTorrent in your house?
[18:28] <pianistbaby> ISP bandwidth page _DOES_ say "Modem address". so perhaps we are indeed looking for MODEM address
[18:29] <pianistbaby> ascheel: yes, but now I've blocked it.
[18:29] <ascheel> Sj4lut: chmod 700 /home/<username>
[18:29] <ascheel> pianistbaby: blocked what?
[18:29] <Sj4lut> ascheel: ofcaurse
[18:29] <pianistbaby> ascheel: blocked P2P/filesharing sites via opendns.com
[18:29] <ascheel> pianistbaby: Modem address is just the MAC address of the cable/DSL modem
[18:29] <iceroot> pianistbaby: if the isp is showing the traffic, it will say all traffic goes from one mac-adress (your modem) so you cant see which client is using how much traffic
[18:30] <Sj4lut> Sj4lut: can this be someehow automatically bade while in system, user accounts?
[18:30] <ascheel> pianistbaby: you can block the sites, but that doesn't block the trackers or connections to individual users.  How many PCs are you looking at?
[18:30] <pianistbaby> ascheel: iceroot. i see. how can i see the mac address of our cable modem
[18:30] <pianistbaby> ascheel: 2. mine and the "family" one
[18:30] <huffman> pianistbaby: oou can probably just check the bottom of your modem
[18:30] <pooljo> hey guys i have a serious problem
[18:30] <pooljo> my ubuntu wont load my DVD
[18:30] <pianistbaby> ascheel: but if we block the site, how will the naughty person in our house make filesharing work?
[18:30] <pooljo> my DVD/CD-ROM is fine
[18:31] <pooljo> any ideas?
[18:31] <tyson_> pooljo, have you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras?
[18:31] <pooljo> tyson_ im trying to reinstall windows xp so i can dual boot
[18:31] <pooljo> yes restricted are installed
[18:31] <ascheel> pianistbaby: here's the deal.  One of those 2 PCs is using a ton of bandwidth.  The MAC address (or modem address) won't help you because all of the PCs show up as a single PC to your ISP.
[18:31] <pooljo> but it loads ubuntu instead of the DVD on startup
[18:32] <pooljo> my bios setttings maybe?
[18:32] <ascheel> pianistbaby: You need to actually monitor what's going on in your house and who's using what programs.
[18:32] <tyson_> pooljo, yea, check your BIOS boot order
[18:32] <pooljo> tyson_ how?
[18:32] <ascheel> pianistbaby: This is an issue of monitoring the family PC to find out what they're doing and who's hogging your bandwidth.
[18:33] <Dream-Stalker> does anyone know of an LUA editor?
[18:33] <ascheel> pianistbaby: is the family PC an Ubuntu PC?
[18:33] <ascheel> Dream-Stalker: vi
[18:33] <Dream-Stalker> vi?
[18:33] <tyson_> pooljo: during boot, there should be a message about what key to press to enter your BIOS
[18:33] <ascheel> Dream-Stalker: I was being facetious, but here:
[18:33] <erUSUL> Dream-Stalker: many if not all text editors in linux should have lua syntax highlight
[18:33] <Sj4lut> !ati
[18:33] <ascheel> !vi | Dream-Stalker
[18:33] <Dream-Stalker> :/
[18:33] <pooljo> tyson_ do you know what the default key is?
[18:33] <ascheel> Dream-Stalker: you can even turn on syntax hilighting
[18:34] <pooljo> F10 or F12?
[18:34] <Dream-Stalker> lol
[18:34] <ascheel> Dream-Stalker: nvm, erUSUL beat me to saying that.
[18:34] <iceroot> pooljo: look if there is something like "press f8 to change boot order"
[18:34] <pooljo> ok
[18:34] <pooljo> brb
[18:34] <mazda01> pooljo, it's usually like F1 or F3, just enter you computer model in goggle and boot to bios.
[18:34] <tyson_> pooljo: F2 and Delete are also popular options
[18:34] <iceroot> pooljo: you dont have to access the bios for that
[18:34] <Dream-Stalker> i just want it to check if ive made errors, ah well :P
[18:35] <Dream-Stalker> i made the hello world :) im happy
[18:35] <ascheel> pianistbaby: if the family's PC is an Ubuntu machine, we can probably provide solutions to let you monitor all traffic.
[18:35] <tyson_> Can someone help me connect to the VPN at vpn.itshidden.com?  It slightly fails when I try to connect, but these statements are logged: http://dpaste.com/72028/
[18:36] <zanberdo> I've recently installed a deb however the bin fails to find a newly installed lib in /usr/lib (specifically liblightscribe.so.1). ldconfig -p  | grep light does not show the lib, which leads me to think the lib needs to be loaded.  I've tried sudo ldconfig -n /usr/lib to reload the libs but still no reference to my newly installed lib. What am I missing?
[18:36] <tyson_> silently*
[18:37] <Sj4lut> If I wanna directory to wrx.. by all users not just root, how can I do this?
[18:37] <grawity> tyson_: It seems to be a problem with the NetworkManager program, not the VPN server...
[18:37] <grawity> Sj4lut: chmod a+rwx directory/
[18:37] <pianistbaby> ascheel: the other (a.k.a "living room" /"family") PC uses WinXP.
[18:37] <tyson_> grawity: should I log a bug report?
[18:38] <pooljo> ok i checked my bios settings and they were correct
[18:38] <pooljo> but the DVD still did not load
[18:38] <pooljo> instead it said "grub" and switched to my ubuntu
[18:38] <pooljo> what is wrong with my system?
[18:38] <ascheel> pianistbaby: then I'd say you're out of luck finding help in here.  You have to monitor what's being done on that PC.  That's all there is to it.   OUCH OUCH OUCH!!!
[18:38] <Sj4lut> grawity: thanx, what is a and + ?
[18:39] <DaZ> overuse charge? :f
[18:39] <ascheel> pianistbaby: I feel your pain, but #ubuntu won't help with the overuse charges, either.  ;P
[18:39] <pooljo> i used gnomebaker
[18:39] <pianistbaby> ascheel: yes. i better leave this chatroom before some whoops my butt for going offtopic
[18:39] <pianistbaby> sp: some --> someone
[18:40] <ascheel> !ot | pianistbaby
[18:40] <grawity> Sj4lut: The 'a' part means "all" (it's the same as 'ugo', which mean "user" (owner), "group" and "others").

[18:41] <twig11> How do I erase the default home directory created by ubuntu on my last install? I had placed my previous home directory on its own partition during a previous install, then left it untouched when I reinstalled and modified my fstab file to use the earlier /home on the other partition.
[18:41] <twig11>  I was told I should delete the default /home created during the install once I had successfully switched to the one on the separate partition. I'm not sure how to do that and I'd appreciate if someone could give me some help
