[15:27] <anteaya> oCean_, yeah, I'm thinking upgrade too, but this structure is so fragile, we just want to get it working for about 2 months to give me the time to upgrade and re-write. Sigh, may have to go back to the client and have a chat.

[15:28] <Joe__> ActionParsnip 5fps and 100% of one CPU core being used, renice -n -20 jumps fps to 30, as far as I can tell that's software acceleration
[15:29] <oCean_> anteaya: sure. good luck with that
[15:29] <Joe__> actionparsnip it is, but not greatly (requires patching wine to get it to work), no reports of low fps that I can find

[15:36] <xiven> HI...When a package is built from a .deb file, is it built from source, or is a .deb file a psuedo binary of some sort?
[15:36] <plitter> http://www.swissgarde.com/ can someone try this site and see if they can get in?
[15:36] <CUALL> xiven: build from source
[15:37] <legend2440> plitter: i can't
[15:37] <Pelo> plitter, can'T get in
[15:37] <xiven> Are deb packages building from source, or are they not? If not,then I'll start building things from source
[15:37] <tolpico> How do I know the label of some NTFS drives with respect to sda1 sda2 etc. For example sda1=label. how to know that? Thanks.
[15:37] <CUALL> Pelo: where R U now>
[15:37] <saica> xiven: depends on the package... some have source and some don't.
[15:38] <Pelo> CUALL,  in regards to what ?
[15:38] <CUALL> tolpico: gedit the fstab
[15:38] <xiven> Well I thought Debian was source based?
[15:38] <Downix> ActionParsnip: Talk about preculiar.  Altho I have it working now, it lacks support for the touchpad.
[15:38] <erUSUL> tolpico: ls -l /dev/disk/by-label/*
[15:38] <Downix> xiven:  No, you're thinking Gentoo
[15:38] <xiven> I could swear Debian and Ubuntu were source based packages
[15:38] <r0site> hello
[15:39] <ActionParsnip1> xiven: you can download source debs if you wih
[15:39] <xiven> That's one of the reasons I originally liked it over Fedora/CentOS/SuSE
[15:39] <saica> xiven: it's GNU based, meaning all of the basic and supported packages should have their source code available, but the package installer typically handles binaries.
[15:39] <guideX> ok that didn't work
[15:39] <guideX> same error
[15:39] <xiven> Hmm
[15:39] <xiven> Well then why aren't we handling RPM
[15:39] <xiven> RPM
[15:39] <Downix> xiven:  No, Gentoo is the main sourced-based distribution distributions.  Debian and Ubuntu *can* be, but they are not by default.
[15:39] <erUSUL> !rpm
[15:39] <r0site> i want install msn with is the best amsn or an other
[15:39] <xiven> RPM's instead of DEB's?
[15:39] <ActionParsnip1> xiven: no ubuntu (and debian) use deb, not rpm
[15:39] <Downix> xiven: They handle deb, why doesn't Red Hat use deb?
[15:39] <CUALL> xiven: you can make a deb by tourself from source

[15:40] <xiven> Good point there, sorry for that stupid question lol
[15:40] <Downix> xiven: It's like asking, why does windows use .cab and not .zip?
[15:40] <Pelo> CUALL, I'm guessing I only have one line in  a config file to edit but I can'T find a decent guide to tell me which

I heard its not good to keep charging from 90% to 100.  - RE asked because of netsplit.
[15:41] <xiven> Did you say that not everything in the repositories has a source package?
[15:41] <ActionParsnip1> microhaxo: i the the netbook remox has it
[15:41] <ActionParsnip1> xiven: most do afaik
[15:41] <Downix> xiven: that is true, as not everything *has* open source.  But 98% roughly of what is in there does.
[15:41] <EagleScreen> microhaxo: may be Kubuntu...
[15:41] <microhaxo> I would rather not install netbook remix though, can i just download that specific package and use it with regular?
[15:41] <Pelo> CUALL, I'm guessing I don'T know what you meant,  just put  code: alsamixer in the terminal and I get command not found ,
[15:41] <xiven> microhaxo> I'm not certain, but i believe I've seen that around before..try searching on sourceforge.net
[15:41] <saica> RPM is designed for a different system structure, although as ubottu says they can be adapted with alien. there may be some package managers out there which can handle apt and rpm repositories simultaneously, but who knows what would happen to the system..
[15:42] <xiven> Well surely X Screen Saver package does...
[15:42] <CUALL> Pelo: sorry  ,is _     alsamixer
[15:42] <microhaxo> Ok, ill look around. Thanks.
[15:42] <saica> xiven: everything in the standard repositories should have a source package.
[15:42] <Pelo> CUALL, command not found
[15:42] <ActionParsnip1> microhaxo: i guess you can use this with jaunty: http://array.org/ubuntu/setup-jaunty.html
[15:43] <xiven> microhaxo> If you dont' find it let me know, and I'll see about finding it myself and add it to my website under hard-to-find or something
[15:43] <ActionParsnip1> microhaxo: its an optomised kernel for the eee
[15:43] <microhaxo> I heard that kernel was buggy
[15:43] <sludge> hi all, Im quite unfamiliar with ati graphics cards......what would the equivalent for an nvidia 7600 or 7800 be?
[15:43]  * saica still desperate for help with initramfs...
[15:43] <ActionParsnip1> microhaxo: ive not usd it ut i've seen people use it, its free to download and use, you can uninstall it if its bad
[15:43] <xiven> microhaxo> Which kernel, Jaunty's??
[15:44] <microhaxo> yea apparently, i am running 9.10 though.
[15:44] <Pelo> CUALL, do I absolutely need pulseaudio to make it work ?
[15:44] <ActionParsnip1> !ot | sludge
[15:44] <saica> sludge: if you're using linux don't buy ati.
[15:44] <ubuntu__> Does anyone know how do I change my brightness window ?
[15:44] <Scorpion_on> hello all
[15:44] <Downix> sludge: there is no 1:1 comparison, ATI does some things better than nvidia, other thins not so good.
[15:44] <ubuntu__> Does anyone know how do I change my brightness ubuntu ?
[15:44] <Pelo> ubuntu__, laptop ?
[15:44] <CUALL> Pelo: may be   you should install alsa alsa-utils and alsa-oss
[15:44] <Downix> saica: I run ATI w/o issue.  Also run nVidia, Intel, PowerVR...
[15:44] <xiven> Hey umm...is Ubuntu (Karmic) only seeing my LCD, when it should see a CRT External Monitor a problem within Ubuntu, or would that be a problem within VirtualBox (It's a VirtualBox Linux Guest)?
[15:44] <ActionParsnip1> ubuntu__: theres a setting in display some place i believe
[15:45] <ubuntu__> Pelo : nope , is a desktop , it quite bright here , rather than changing at the monitor
[15:45] <ubuntu__> ActionParsnip1: looking now but can't find
[15:45] <saica> Downix: with what drivers, the proprietary or the open source?
 okay, that is what I thought.....
[15:45] <grawity> xiven: Virtual machines cannot see the real hardware - they only see that which is emulated by VirtualBox.
[15:45] <Pelo> ubuntu__, not sure if this will work but check in the pannel applets ( right click pannel , add to pannel) there is a brightness control in there somewhere, but it is meant for lcd and laptop
[15:45] <ActionParsnip1> ubuntu__: you can add the applet to your panel
[15:45] <Downix> saica: Mixture, depends on the card.  Altho I've had to be picky in both cases.
[15:46] <xiven> Okay
[15:46] <xiven> So, I need ot tell VBox to emulate it then
 so you say completely avoid ati if running ubuntu?
[15:46] <strange> yes fuck ati
[15:46] <Downix> saica: nVidia, sadly, lacks support for some of the systems I run.
[15:46] <strange> nvidia lacks support for what?
[15:46] <grawity> xiven: And VirtualBox can only emulate some types of hardware - a generic video card, a generic display, a generic soundcard.
[15:46] <lmxl> hi i dont why i cant on extra effects please i need halp
[15:46] <Downix> strange: SPARC, PowerPC, SuperH, MIPS....
[15:47] <strange> powerpc works with nvidia
[15:47] <xiven> Hmm
[15:47] <Downix> strange: Not all nvidia
[15:47] <strange> dunno about sparc dont see why you need gpu for that htough
[15:47] <ubuntu__> ActionParsnip1: able to add but it's at the minimum -,even I increase it still doesn't change .
[15:47] <sludge> saica, is there an nvidia czrd AGP card that you recommend for ubuntu?  I've been looking at 7300, 7600, and 7800 but the latter is hard to find
[15:47] <saica> sludge: the reason i say so is what happened with the recent change in ati's drivers, where a lot of cards were dropped and will never again be supported. also the open-source drivers are not ready. in general i have had a very bad experience with ati and linux and i have not seen anywhere that someone praised an ati card over anything else in linux..
[15:47] <xiven> Pidgin 2.6.4 requires XScreenSaver development headers to be available.....but I can't find it in the repository.. And the website actually recommends NOT compiling from source.
[15:48] <ActionParsnip1> Otacon22: any good?
[15:48] <tavi> hy
[15:48] <lmxl> it write me i sory i cant on extra effeckts
[15:48] <Otacon22> i've ejected and reinserted the dvd and now maybe is working
[15:48] <Downix> Saica: I'd not praise them till the open source drivers are more mature, but I'd not dismiss them either.
[15:48] <tavi> i wanna reinstall ubuntu 8 04 where do i find him?
[15:48] <ActionParsnip1> ubuntu__: thats all i know dude, is the system a sony per chance?

[15:49] <saica> sludge: sorry i don't have any shopping tips for you as i need some myself lol

[15:49] <Downix> Ok, can't get xinput to work for setting up the touchpad in X.  Very fustrating.

[15:52] <xiven> Sorry, I've never used a PPA before..couldn't remember what you were talking about
[15:52] <nasser> hi everyone!
[15:52] <nasser> Which is better, gnome or kde?
[15:52] <grawity> There's no "better".
[15:52] <ActionParsnip1> xiven: its an extra repository you can add and install apps from
[15:52] <CUALL> nasser: try
[15:52] <ActionParsnip1> nasser: both are equally good, they just give advantages in different areas
[15:53] <grawity> xiven: Ubuntu PPAs ("personal package archives" or something) are user-owned package repositories.
[15:53] <nasser> Which do you use?
[15:53] <xiven> But that says untrusted source
[15:53] <cabaro> Knome is better
[15:53] <ActionParsnip1> nasser: also depends which apps you run more, if you use more kde apps, use kde
[15:53] <CUALL> nasser: i use gnome
[15:53] <Downix> You know, lacking a mouse in X w/ gnome setup is a bit fustrating
[15:53] <ActionParsnip1> xiven: you add the GPG key and its fine
[15:53] <grawity> !best
[15:53] <ActionParsnip1> nasser: there are more than just gnome and kde too
[15:54] <ActionParsnip1> Downix: i can imagine
[15:54] <kotis> when i change my resolution to 1680x1050, i have big "empty" black space in the left side and a bit smaller black space in the right side. so the picture doesn't look right.  what can i do to make it look better? i have viewsonic va2216w, ubuntu 9.10, nvidia 7300gs. nvidia-settings think that i have crt monitor.
[15:54] <cabaro> i think thre should be a Knome UI
[15:54] <xiven> I add the PPA to APT's sources.list file right?
[15:54] <nasser> but gnome and kde are the most well-known, aren't them?
[15:54] <tizian> Hallo
[15:54] <Downix> ActionParsnip1: Could be worse
[15:55] <switch10> does anyone know why the command ls -C doesnt work with a long list of file names??
[15:55] <ActionParsnip1> xiven: you can but you will need to manually inport the kep
[15:55] <xiven> I don't see the package needed in the "Package" listing on the page..does that mean adding the PPA would be useless to me?
[15:55] <CUALL> nasser: maybe ur right
[15:55] <Downix> nasser: yes, but not the only ones out there.  xfce, sawfish, Enlightenment off the top of my head
[15:55] <Elnino> i have a problem with sound, am running ubuntu 9.04
[15:55] <Downix> nasser:  Normally I run AmiWM myself
[15:55] <ActionParsnip1> xiven: if you use software sources you can add: ppa:pidgin-developers/ppa          and it will all be handled or you
[15:55] <xiven> I don't know how to manually import the key so I'll have to search that up
[15:55] <xiven> Ohhh
[15:55]  * saica taps random keys into his unresponsive BusyBox... still unresponsive..
[15:55] <xiven> I never knew what that menu item was about lol

[15:56] <xiven> I've from the Breezy Badger days lol
[15:56] <ubuntu__> ActionParsnip1: erm , iirc , after any graphic driver installed , it's must to restart to take effect.I dont think the live cd reboot will work. :-?
[15:56] <ActionParsnip1> xiven: or you can paste the square text in a file from this link: http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x7FB8BEE0A1F196A8   then run: sudo apt-key add file

[15:57] <saica> can anyone help me figure out how to get my keyboard working in busybox?
[15:57] <grawity> nasser: It's here on Freenode.
[15:57] <grawity> nasser: But the channel is #ubuntu-bots, not #ubuntu-bot
[15:57] <CUALL>      /me busy
[15:57] <nasser> thanks a lot grawity, you're so helpful!
[15:58] <xiven> Sorry, which package is that GPG key for? Is that for Pidgin or for X Screen Saver directly?
[15:58] <ActionParsnip1> Elnino: can you give some details, nobody can help without any details which you have failed to provide
[15:58] <ActionParsnip1> xiven: it marks the source as trusted
[15:58] <xiven> (Sorry I'm I noob when it comes to this area)
[15:58] <grawity> xiven: The key is for all packages that are in the repository you just added.

 cat /etc/X11/xorg.new ???
[16:02] <ActionParsnip1> xiven: its created by the repo maintatiner and must match the key on the repo
[16:02] <ubuntu__> ActionParsnip1: just one line (Codename:	karmic)
[16:02] <saica> cabaro... perhaps you should try this in your native language
[16:02] <ActionParsnip1> ubuntu__: then alt+k+printscreen (all together) will restart the x server
[16:03] <ActionParsnip1> capon: a simple mv command will do it
[16:03] <Downix> Ok, and now I cannot install a driver from within X because it says I lack priveledge to, but it will not prompt me for sudo
[16:03] <capon> ok
[16:03] <cabaro> saica: what are you telling me?
[16:03] <Downix> something is preculiar
[16:03] <saica> lol sorry, not caparo i meant capon
[16:03] <ubuntu__> ActionParsnip1: I dont wanted to restart , all my application like this irc chat client will gone.I need to install again
[16:03] <saica> perhaps i should change my native language...
[16:04] <cabaro> saica: You are forgiven for Xmas sake :)
[16:04] <saica> thank you / gracias / domo
[16:05] <xiven> Action so the point of the GPG then is to help ensure that the package one is installing, is indeed created by the appropriate maintainer, and is safe software. Correct?
[16:06] <ActionParsnip1> ubuntu__: you wont, you are simply restarting the gui. Not the OS. In Linix the display is seperate form the OS (unlike windows) so if it crashes it can be restarted using that key combination. Windows doesnt have this and a whole reboot is needed which is not practical
[16:06] <ActionParsnip1> xiven: pretty much yes
[16:07] <xiven> Okay..well I've added the PPA, and added the GPG key
[16:07] <ActionParsnip1> xiven: you can tell apt-get etc to ignore the fact that the repo doesnt have the key on your system
[16:07] <aman_> Hi all, I have recently installed ubuntu 9.10 and i was trying something on it. It got hanged and i pressed reset button on the CPU but when it restarted, now its directly logging into my account rather than asking me for the username and password to login. I mean there is no login screen. It directly logs into my account. And when ubuntu boots a message comes up in between "Cannot mount /etc/fstab". Can any one help me regarding this????
[16:07] <xiven> So, I  guess now I built Pidgin from repo source???
[16:07] <ActionParsnip1> xiven: ok then run: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install pidgin
[16:07] <xiven> Ohh
[16:08] <ActionParsnip1> xiven: no point that is the deb from the people who code pidgin so its the most recent release
[16:08] <xiven> BY the way, when you install package headers, or package-dev's..where do the sources go?
[16:08] <ActionParsnip1> xiven: no idea
[16:08] <Egbert9e9> where's the gnome executable for tray keymap switcher?
[16:09] <xiven> Software Sources is just a GUI Front-End for managing APT's Source List file, isn't it?
[16:09] <Egbert9e9> like the kxkb application kde had
[16:09] <Downix> ok, gdm can launch, but I cannot run startx myself after killing it, saying gart is missing
[16:09] <saica> xiven, indeed it is.
[16:10] <Pranav> How to copy all files from the SSH using a single command into my /home/Desktop ?
[16:10] <saica> but with a few extra features
[16:10] <plitter> can i enter a page that displays this errormessage: "Error Code: 403 Forbidden. ISA Server is configured to block HTTP requests that require authentication. (12250) " but i have the wrong configurations?
[16:10] <xiven> Hmm...this VBox seems to run slow a lot...I might need to incrase its RAM
[16:10] <Pranav> How to copy all files from the SSH using a single command into my /home/Desktop ?
[16:10] <sryque> Pranav: use scp
[16:10] <xiven> I only gave it 512MB this time around. Does Karmic need more?
[16:10] <ActionParsnip1> xiven: yes its just a gui to apt-get which is a frontend to dpkg and wget
[16:10] <cabaro> scp user@server.name:/folder/* /home/username
[16:10] <Downix> a ha, I think I have it
[16:11] <Downix> brb
[16:11] <ActionParsnip1> xiven: should be fine
[16:11] <xiven> apt-get is just a front-end to wget and dpkg???
[16:11] <xiven> I thought it did a little more then that lol
[16:11] <ActionParsnip1> xiven: vbox will need a bit more ram though
[16:11] <switch10> is there an easy way to take a screenshot of a specific area in ubuntu?  I know prt scrn, but then i have to crop it.  any ideas?
[16:11] <rsk> xiven, it does a bit more
[16:11] <ActionParsnip1> xiven: yes it gets the relevant debs using wget, then installs in the right order using dpkg
[16:12] <ActionParsnip1> xiven: it also runs the post install scriptstoo
[16:12] <saica> xiven, it does sort of pay attention to dependencies... not as well as aptitude, but unlike aptitude it is configurable.
[16:12] <cabaro> switch10: alt+printscreen givres te window in focus
[16:12] <pflanze> Hello. Are there any PGP signatures for the installer images?
[16:12] <xiven> Yeah..well I hesitate to give it a full gig..because the Vista host only has 2Gig's...not that I actually do much with Vista..but it still has Anti-Adware and Anti-Spyware programs running kground..plus the Graphics Card Manager.. and can have Photoshop up for hours
[16:12] <aman_> ActionParsnip1, can u help???
[16:12] <padi999> Hi all
[16:12] <lstarnes> pflanze: there should be some .asc files on the mirrors
[16:12] <ActionParsnip1> aman_: ask the channel
[16:13] <cabaro> sorry for typos...
[16:13] <aman_> Hi all, I have recently installed ubuntu 9.10 and i was trying something on it. It got hanged and i pressed reset button on the CPU but when it restarted, now its directly logging into my account rather than asking me for the username and password to login. I mean there is no login screen. It directly logs into my account. And when ubuntu boots a message comes up in between "Cannot mount /etc/fstab". Can any one help me regarding this????
[16:13] <legend2440> switch10: open accessories>take screenshot   choose Select area to grab
[16:13] <Pranav> sryque, But I am logged into SSH and cannot login again, I dont have the password
[16:13] <padi999> If I can ping the IP of google.com but not "www.google.com" then something with NAT is wrong. How can I debug/fix that?
[16:13] <KittyBoots> Hello, I am using openoffice calc and I am tryint to find page break preview but I can't find it, can anyone tell me where it is?
[16:13] <AnRkey> i have just booted my server after having to shut it down in a power outage. I noted that my data partition on the server is not mounting. I tried to mount it manually and I get this : mount: /dev/sdb3 already mounted or /media/Data busy. What can I try (BTW: I am in a panic!)
[16:13] <switch10> legend2440: thanks.  I also just discovered alt+prtscrn
[16:13] <ActionParsnip1> aman_: you should have restarted X rather than hard powering off
[16:13] <xiven> apt-get watches dependencies did I get that right?
[16:13] <xiven> brb..gotta restart pidgin
[16:14] <cabaro> !openoffice
[16:14] <ActionParsnip1> xiven: yes apt-get installs deps for you
[16:14] <sryque> Pranav, use scp from the box you're ssh'd into
[16:14] <ActionParsnip1> aman_: I suggest you boot to liveCD to run: sudo fsck -a /dev/sda1
[16:14] <siddhesh> hi
[16:14] <aman_> ActionParsnip1, i was not aware of that but i fixed xserver then only the system was able to boot.
[16:14] <saica> AnRkey, first, take five deep breaths, slowly in... and slowly out...
[16:15] <pflanze> lstarnes: aha, these: http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/ubuntu-cdimage/9.10/SHA256SUMS.gpg  Thanks.
[16:15] <Pranav> sryque, cant understand
[16:15] <AnRkey> saica: then :)
[16:15]  * AnRkey is hyperventilating now
[16:15] <piero> Hi! How can I remove all packets from my system, leaving only those in ubuntu-minimal ?
[16:15] <ActionParsnip1> AnRkey: then its accessible from /media/Data
[16:15] <saica> AnRkey, try fsck
[16:15] <AnRkey> tried it
[16:15] <xiven> Damn...still no MSN support
[16:15] <aman_> ActionParsnip1, can i try that right now in gui?
[16:16] <ActionParsnip1> AnRkey: id go for an fsck like saica says,
[16:16] <cabaro>  Pranav: ok, to do it the sryque said: ssh to the box with files, the scp * user@destination:/folder
[16:16] <ActionParsnip1> aman_: no as the partition is in use
[16:16] <xiven> Can you send configuration directives to dpkg-reconfigure??
[16:16] <sryque> Pranav: from the remote box, run scp /folder-on-remote-machine user@local-machine:/home/Desktop
[16:16] <ActionParsnip1> AnRkey: you can always restore from backups to fix the data
[16:16] <AnRkey> fsck says it's in use
[16:16] <aman_> ActionParsnip1, but ubuntu is on sda3
[16:16] <ActionParsnip1> AnRkey: you need to be in a liveCD
[16:16] <AnRkey> 700gb, yeah that would be quick
[16:16] <cabaro>  Pranav: destination needs to have ssh enabled
[16:16] <ActionParsnip1> aman_: then fsck that instead
[16:16] <ActionParsnip1> AnRkey: thats nothing
[16:16] <AnRkey> ActionParsnip1, gonna boot in to a live cd quick
[16:17] <AnRkey> brb
[16:17] <tolpico> I want to shortcuts of drives in the panel. Dragging it on to panel doesn't work. Any other way I can create drive shortcuts on panels?
[16:17] <sryque> Pranav, also, its scp -r if you want to copy recursively
[16:17] <Pranav> cabaro, how to enable /
[16:17] <Fake51> hiya. Hope someone might be able to help me with a gnome-terminal problem: can't seem to get cyrillic characters displayed properly
[16:17] <ActionParsnip1> AnRkey: i look after sql backups which dwarf that easily
[16:17] <aman_> ActionParsnip1, i did fsck in the terminal shall i reboot now?
[16:17] <saica> please... anybody... help with initramfs
[16:17] <ActionParsnip1> aman_: it wont be that quick
[16:17] <AnRkey> ActionParsnip1, I need this running in a few hours
[16:17] <cabaro> Pranav: sudo apt-get install ssh
[16:17] <ActionParsnip1> aman_: boot to the liveCD to run the command so te partition isnt in use
[16:17]  * AnRkey is booting a live cd on the server quick, brb
[16:18] <aman_> ActionParsnip1, oh okie
[16:18] <Pranav> cabaro, its already installed
[16:18] <Pranav> how to check if its running ?
[16:18] <aman_> ActionParsnip1, so i m going to do it in live session. Thank You.
[16:19] <cabaro> its probably on, but you can check it by : sudo /etc/init.d/ssh status
[16:19] <Fake51> cyrillic characters, gnome-terminal, any takers?
[16:19] <sryque> Pranav, if its installed, its likely already running.  You can run the scp command without any additional configuration.
[16:19] <Pranav> ok
[16:20] <PyjamaSpank> what is my best option to record video from a webcam and audio from a microphone?
[16:21] <legend2440> tolpico: right click top panel choose Add to Panel  choose Disk Mounter  see if that does what you want
[16:21] <ActionParsnip1> !best | PyjamaSpank
[16:21] <cabaro> Pranav: did you get it done?
[16:21] <Pranav> sryque, even though I give right password of my destination machine, it says permission denied
[16:22] <Pranav> cabaro, even though I give right password of my destination machine, it says permission denied
[16:22] <sryque> Pranav: does the user you're connecting as have write access to the destination directory?
[16:22] <ActionParsnip1> PyjamaSpank: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam
[16:22] <ubuntu__> ActionParsnip1: it doesn't restart , it just print screen

[16:23] <imlad> Need  help  - tying to back up Windows files using an Ubuntu install CD
[16:23] <cabaro> Parsnip:is it the same username you use?
[16:23] <ActionParsnip1> ubuntu__: you can then use ctrl+alt+backspace
[16:23] <ubuntu__> ActionParsnip1: ok
[16:23] <Pranav> cabaro, sryque : I did "scp -r gateway/ pranav@<IP_ADDRESS>:/home/Desktop/" and I said "yes" to fingerprint. Now it says permission denied
[16:23] <ActionParsnip1> imlad: you can mount ntfs read only without any extra config
[16:23] <ActionParsnip1> !ntfs | imlad
[16:24] <xarvox> hi all
[16:24] <ActionParsnip1> !hi | xarvox
[16:24] <imlad> I tried and can't see the partition.  I will read the docs you refer to and try again...
[16:24] <tolpico> legend2440, thanks yes it displays the drives. But its two click away. Any idea on how to make it a single click icon. Anyway this is much better than going through menu. thanks
[16:24] <sebastian> hey dudes and girls
[16:24] <xarvox> im trying to setup wireless network on my macbook, but cant get it to work
[16:24] <cabaro> Parsnip: PM maybe and paste the output of the command
[16:24] <ActionParsnip1> xarvox: run: sudo lshw -C network
[16:24] <ubuntu__> ActionParsnip1: it doesn't restart , no response at at all pressing ctrl+alt+backspace
[16:25] <ActionParsnip1> xarvox: yu will see a product line, websearch that for guides
[16:25] <Pranav> cabaro, sryque: so is there some other way or what should I do ?
[16:25] <a0107> omfg
[16:25] <xarvox> i tryed that, product 5.1
[16:25] <sryque> Pranav, ensure that /home/Desktop exists on the destination machine and you have write access
[16:25] <cabaro> Parsnip: sorry, not meant for you i meant Pranav
[16:25] <ActionParsnip1> ubuntu__: did you enable it in the keyboard prefs?
[16:25] <legend2440> tolpico: well you could put icons for the drives on your Desktop and then you would just click them
[16:25] <sebastian> anyone using a solid state drive here?
[16:25] <nasser> I've installed kde on my laptop but when I sign in with kde only appears the terminal
[16:26] <sebastian> i could use some help on optimization
[16:26] <qwerkus> hello: has somebdody time/patience to help me out with a nice kernel panic at ubuntu 9.04 startup ?
[16:26] <ActionParsnip1> sebastian: use ext2
[16:26] <tolpico> legend2440, I actually have an auto hide sidebar menu with links to important directories/drives.
[16:27] <sebastian> beacuse of the journaling?
[16:27] <legend2440> tolpico: ok
[16:27] <ubuntu__> ActionParsnip1: ok just enable now trying thanks forgot to enable
[16:27] <Pranav> cabaro, sryque: Is there some folder in my machine which have the least permission, so that I can write easily
[16:27] <Pranav> sth like temporary for guest
[16:28] <ActionParsnip1> sebastian: exactly, less writes
[16:28] <cabaro> Pranav: home folder
[16:28] <sebastian> allright
[16:28] <spase>  zlt6v4
[16:28] <ActionParsnip1> sebastian: you can read infintely, its writes which are limited
[16:28] <cabaro> Pranav: or just try : sudo apt-get install filezilla
[16:28] <xiven> Action how long have you been using Ubuntu for?
[16:29] <sebastian> thanks parsnip
[16:29] <Pranav> cabaro, where the destination machine or source machine ?
[16:29] <ActionParsnip1> xiven: sine 07 but I've used linux since mandrake 6 was released
[16:29] <xiven> do apt-get install filezilla on whatever machine you wish it ot be installed on
[16:30] <xiven> I'm not sure when Mandrake 6 was released..but ok
[16:30] <cabaro> Pranav: the one you have Gnome installed, so the machine you are giving the command from
[16:30] <ActionParsnip1> xiven: gftp is lighter than filezilla
[16:30]  * saica still hopes a savior will come forward to help with initramfs..
[16:30] <AnRkey> ActionParsnip1, quess where my iso's for the boot cd are
[16:30] <xiven> gFTP may be lighter then Filezilla, but I like Filezilla better. For one thing its not linux-dependent.
[16:30] <cabaro> Pranav: it installs an SCP client, and you can try connecting from there
[16:30] <Pranav> cabaro, but I dont have password for the source machine
[16:30] <sebastian> then i just need an URL to the most up to date PPA with mplayer + vdpau things and smplayer =)
[16:30] <ActionParsnip1> AnRkey: niiiiiiiice
[16:30] <AnRkey> guess*
[16:30] <xiven> I love Linux, but I have to be able to operate without it also.
[16:30] <Slyone> Hey guys, how do i create an bootable iso image in ubuntu on my usb stick??
[16:31] <AnRkey> will download 1 quick
[16:31] <Pranav> and I have gnome installed in destination machine
[16:31] <sebastian> Slyone, use the usb-creator in the gnome menu
[16:31] <Pranav> cabaro,  I am on the destination machine
[16:31] <cabaro> Pranav: that is you problem , you need to have access to both machines
[16:31] <Slyone> sebastian, gnome menu?
[16:31] <xiven> slyone> Google mkisofs
[16:31] <sebastian> yeah, you know the panel with applications places system
[16:32] <sebastian> system then find usb-creator
[16:32] <cabaro> Pranav: im not going to teach anyone to hack
[16:32] <Pranav> cabaro, ok
[16:32] <Pranav> :(
[16:32] <xiven> Who's trying to hack?
[16:33] <xiven> Wait, what was he talking about with host machine and destination machine
[16:33] <ubuntu__user> ActionParsnip1: using jockey , how do I set it ?
[16:33] <xiven> Was he trying  to install something other ANOTHER machine using apt-get?
[16:33] <ubuntu__user> ActionParsnip1: using jockey , how do I set the brightness ?
[16:33] <usuario> eeee
[16:33] <cabaro> xiven: no password for source machine, my help stops here
[16:33] <usuario> k pasisa
[16:34] <xiven> He didn't know the password??
[16:34] <maxagaz> how to set grub2 to boot automatically on windows ?
[16:34] <cabaro> xiven: i know the passwords to all the systems i need to have access to.
[16:34] <xiven> I could understand forgetting the password..but there are ways to get around that if you google to recover your system
[16:35] <cabaro> its a remote machine and no password, so i'm not helping anymore
[16:36] <tolpico> legend2440, I got it. example "ln -s /media/sda3 linkname" one click solution for accessing drives.
[16:37] <cabaro> xiven: i just get the feeling that it's not his/her own system, so i stop my help there
[16:38] <xiven> Yeah..sometimes the action must be taken.
[16:38] <legend2440> tolpico: where is the link? in the Panel or on the Desktop?
[16:38] <imlad> ActionParsnip1, it appears I mounted my ntfs partition, but I cannot see it in nautilus - or at least not the contents...
[16:39] <xiven> I usually find its not mounted correctly when that happens
[16:39] <tolpico> legend2440, in my case my prompt was on my home folder, so it created there. then i dragged it to panel
[16:39] <hacker07> whats up
[16:39] <cabaro> :) Hacker07:
[16:40] <imlad> xiven, I will reboot and remount and see what happens.
[16:40] <xiven> ok
[16:40] <legend2440> tolpico: ok good. the way i have mine is i put drive icons on the Desktop using the Configuration Editor
[16:41] <cabaro> imlad: sudo mount -l
[16:42] <cabaro> imlad: sudo fdisk -l
[16:43] <cabaro> imlad: maybe check /etc/fstab
[16:44] <imlad> cabaro, installing ntfs-config
[16:44] <cabaro> imlad:ok

[16:54] <dnivra> TimbukFive: just right click -> properties and you should be able to change it there too.
[16:54] <revchila> someone knows something about m-audio fast track pro sound card ?
[16:54] <obaid> !past
[16:54] <qkbeyond> !help
[16:54] <TimbukFive> dnivra : this works only for dir or single files..but nmot for the hole dir
[16:54] <dnivra> TimbukFive: but you can't change owners from the properties window
[16:54] <revchila> ubottu, you told me that ¿
[16:54] <revchila> ah ok
[16:55] <cabaro> Timbukfive: cd to the directory, then: chmod 777 *      will give full rights to everyone
[16:55] <ghostknife> Why is the following printed when I press ctrl+c (specifically the unicode squares): http://imagebin.ca/img/mXbutJ1.png
[16:55] <revchila> i´m finding solutions for my sound card m audio fast track pro
[16:55] <dnivra> TimbukFive: The best would be command line. Easy solution no problems
[16:55] <qkbeyond> ubottu:  are you a girl.
[16:55] <gusan0r>  #join /backtrack-es
[16:55] <sryque> TimbukFive: chmod -R and chown -R work recursively
[16:55] <TimbukFive> cabaro : tryd commandline..didnt know that i can use * for hole dir, i wil ltry cabaro s soltuion , thanks
[16:56] <dnivra> TimbukFive: you need the -r switch
[16:56] <qkbeyond> !past
[16:56] <cabaro> TimbukFive: np
[16:56] <aman_> Jeruvy, actually i was trying something and PC got hanged. I pressed reset button on CPU and after that when i booted up ubuntu it didn't asked me for login but automatically logined into my account(no username of password required). And while booting it showed upa message "/etc/fstab sall not be mounted"..
[16:56] <cabaro> TimbukFive: -R works all subdirectories as well
[16:56] <Kalic> does anyone know if its possible to get an Ati Mobility Radeon x1400 to work in ubuntu with hardware acceleration? seems other distros get it working but with no acceleration
[16:57] <TimbukFive> cabaro : nice good to know ! thanks
[16:57] <tolpico> How to convert an image(png, jpg, etc) to svg format?
[16:57] <TimbukFive> dnvira : ye i know, thanks too
[16:57] <saica> Kalic, in which version of Ubuntu?
[16:57] <Kalic> 9.10
[16:57] <supertux1_> tolpico gimp
[16:57]  * qkbeyond  who can tell me  how to use the  ubottu?
[16:58] <dnivra> TimbukFive: no problem:). I think you owe cabaro more than me:).
[16:58] <_Trullo> just ask ubottu
[16:58] <aman_> Jeruvy, any ideas?
[16:58] <revchila> n-audio fast track pro ?
[16:58] <qkbeyond> _Trullo: for example?
[16:58] <qwerkus> looks like I'll have to reinstall ubuntu :( . Is ext4 safe for everyday use now ?
[16:58] <Jeruvy> aman_: ah, ok.  I see. You should run fsck on your drive then to check for errors.
[16:59] <legend2440> !ati | qkbeyond  for example
[16:59] <saica> hmm.... maybe bad news for you. x1400 sounds like one of the cards that was dropped from support in the newer fglrx drivers (proprietary) which provice hardware accelleration
[16:59] <qkbeyond> legend2440: thanks!
[16:59] <aman_> Jeruvy, means? can u give me the command i m on live session right now
[16:59] <tolpico> supertux1_, Do we need to install any plugin for GIMP? Because I cant find svg in save as dialog.
[16:59] <olek_> siema
[16:59] <CUALL> ubottu: hi ，can you help me to solve some problems about qkbeyon
[17:00] <Jeruvy> aman_: yup, fsck -A (note the caps)
[17:00] <qkbeyond> !arch | CUALL
[17:00] <lmxl> help please i cant on extra effects please i need halp?
[17:00] <qkbeyond> !ati | CUALL
[17:00] <saica> you might be able to get hardware accelleration in ubuntu 8.10 almost-out-of-the-box or ubuntu 9.04 (by downgrading xserver-xorg and several other packages)... i have tried to install the legacy fglrx in 9.10 and it was not pretty..
[17:00] <cabaro> !halp
[17:00] <domjohnson> hello
[17:00] <aman_> Jeruvy, it just showing a message "fsck from util-linux-ng 2.16"
[17:00] <Kalic> ah, figgures, amd stopped supporting the card themselves it seems also, i buy this laptop and it lasts a year before nothing on it is supported anymore :(
[17:01] <domjohnson> is anyone else experiencing problems when Gstreamer-bad is installed?
[17:01] <obaid> no
[17:01] <legend2440> Kalic: perhaps someone would know in channel  #radeon
[17:01] <domjohnson> as in, totem doesn't open...
[17:01] <domjohnson> software-center doesn't open...
[17:01] <qkbeyond> !radeon
[17:01] <Kalic> legend20: alright, thank you
[17:01] <saica> Kalic, it was a really awful thing for ATI to do. they screwed a lot of people who had cards one year old and less.
[17:02]  * Kalic nods "yes they did"
[17:02] <ska> I'm installing from an IDE cdrom and after its starts installing the software packages, 9.10 says: Please insert Ubuntu-XXX into cdrom".. It does this in both Regular and Alternate install isos... Please advise.
[17:02] <laxative> Kalic, it was a really awful turd for ATI to excrete. they defecated a lot of feces who had manure one bowel movement and less.
[17:02] <aman_> Jeruvy, any views?
[17:02] <chandru_in> I've received an AVI file which when played with Totem or Gnome Mplayer displays a message saying "Use Windows Media Player" within the video area and doesn't play. Is there a workaround to make this file play with Totem/MPlayer?
[17:02] <laxative> feces
[17:02] <ska> I.E. The install fails .
[17:02] <domjohnson> Sound no longer works....
[17:02] <saica> lol laxative wut?
[17:03] <Kalic> never again will I buy anything that has anything to do with ATI
[17:03] <Jeruvy> aman_: it should be running.
[17:03] <saica> kalic: same here
[17:03] <Pranav> When I am copying many files, how to skip some files being copied ? If I press CTRL+C, the whole copying gets exits
[17:03] <aman_> Jeruvy, it just showing a message "fsck from util-linux-ng 2.16" i mean "fsck -A"
[17:03] <xiven> I'm not sure I'm understanding sudo properly. sudo is required to install all software isn't it?
[17:04] <Pranav> When I am copying many files, how to skip some files being copied ? If I press CTRL+C, the whole copying gets exits
[17:04] <TimbukFive> xiven : install . yes
[17:04]  * saica wishes ATI's marketing department watched this discussion.. although they probably wouldn't care..
[17:04] <CUALL> xiven: most of the time
[17:04] <xiven> I don't think I can install software without using sudo..because super user priveldges ar required for al installations right?
[17:04] <Jeruvy> aman_: ah you're using a live session, you need to point it to the device /dev/hda or /dev/sda (or the partition)  use 'mount' for more details if you are not sure which one you need to check.
[17:04] <CUALL> xiven: you can run sudo -i  before you  install ansoftware
[17:05] <cabaro> Pranav: are there a lot of files you want to skip?
[17:05] <xiven> Well yes. But eitherway you have to have super user privs to install software..
[17:05] <timlee> sorry for my previous flood with multiline input. My question about mouting external hard drive could be seen at http://paste.ubuntu.com/347658/. Thanks and regards!
[17:05] <sqip> what is the best browser to see flash movie in?
[17:05] <CUALL> xiven: U R RIGHT
[17:05] <Myrtti> !caps | CUALL
[17:06] <xiven> Ok, just making sure. Thanks.
[17:06] <saica> Pranav, do you mean to skip some specific files? then why not just not copy them in the first place?
[17:06] <TimbukFive> !caps | ubottu
[17:06] <TimbukFive> :s
[17:06] <chandru_in> any help for me.  How does an AVI file detect my media player?
[17:07] <xiven> What's the command to check the amount of disk space available?
[17:07] <M1TE5H> in ubuntu 9.04 why my time are chaged when reboot
[17:07] <airstrike> M1TE5H: are you dual booting?
[17:07] <Jkessler> xiven: df
[17:07] <saica> lol ubottu doesn't scold itself
[17:07] <M1TE5H> i'M SET THE TIME BUT NEXT REBOOT IT CAN CHANGED
[17:07] <legend2440> chandru_in: right click the avi choose properties the open with and choose media player you want to use
[17:07] <happyaron> hi, my nvidia card doesn't work at a proper solution, I use envyng installed the driver, but after reboot it only have 640x480 resolution
[17:08] <dnivra> !caps | MITESH
[17:08] <saica> M1TE5H, your caps-lock is on
[17:08] <supertux1_> tolpico then im' sorry, maybe you can't
[17:08] <alberto> Good afternoon everyone!
[17:08] <airstrike> chandru_in: you can right click the file and go under 'properities', 'open with'
[17:08] <CUALL> xiven:  df -m
[17:08] <airstrike> properties, even
[17:08] <xiven> Ok.
[17:08] <chandru_in> legend2440: I guess you haven't understood the problem.  It does open with Totem but displays a 4 second long message saying "User Windows Media Player" and stops
[17:08] <Pranav> cabaro, yes I want to skip some bigger files
[17:08] <chandru_in> *Use
[17:08] <Pranav> cabaro, like iso and so
[17:08] <tolpico> supertux1_,  no problem, thanks
[17:08] <ashmew2> hi ppl , Merry Xmas
[17:08] <airstrike> chandru_in: just use VLC
[17:08] <alberto> I have a problem...My Tv Tuner card is wrongly recognised by Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala
[17:08] <airstrike> it will play a potato.
[17:08] <OerHeks> M1TE5H set your time in the bios
[17:08] <ashmew2> i was wondering , why do people get burnt beans in the Ubuntu Forums ?
[17:09] <cabaro> Pranav: gimme a sec
[17:09] <M1TE5H> airstrike:yes ubuntu 9.4 & xp
[17:09] <xiven> In my opinion MPLayer is the best
[17:09] <airstrike> M1TE5H: your problem therein lies
[17:09] <saica> ok... i give up... i'm going to erase my system and install again.. maybe I'll get lucky and this error will never happen again... (not beliving that)...
[17:09] <M1TE5H> dnivra: saica: yaa iam off it
[17:09] <Pranav> sryque,  cabaro, as suggested, I recursively copied everything from /home/smith folder, but it is hell large
[17:09] <Craig_B> can anyone point me toward some good info on getting my wireless nic working on a Dell Inspiron 1150?
[17:09] <alberto> It's a Hauppauge HVR-1100, but hardinfo and mythtv say it's a Philips one.
[17:09] <saica> How can I at least get a list off all my installed packages so that I can rebuild my system a little faster next time?
[17:09] <CUALL> xiven: i use mplayer too
[17:09] <alberto> Any ideas?

[17:10] <CopyWriter> hey guys i'm reading the release notes for 9.10 it's scaring me
[17:10] <jesse2> Has anyone been able to run civilization 4 in wine? it keeps asking for the cd (cd is in the drive -- how do i make it recognize it?)
[17:10] <happyaron> my nvidia card doesn't work at a proper solution, I use envyng installed the driver, but after reboot it only have 640x480 resolution, any ideas?
[17:10] <chandru_in> airstrike: Let me try that too
[17:10] <xiven> I don't watch many movies though..but when I do..I like MPlayer most.
[17:10] <alberto> What should I do?
[17:10] <Craig_B> thank you
[17:10] <xiven> VLC would cut the mustard if I couldn't use MPlayer, though.
[17:10] <dnivra> Craig_B: no problem
[17:10] <airstrike> whoa, this place is busy today.. it's hard to even read the questions ._.
[17:10] <CopyWriter> i tried the new version earlier on and had to go a back to 8.04.3
[17:10] <sryque> timlee: if you want to find out what filesystems your mounted drives are, you could try df -hT
[17:10] <TimbukFive> happyaron : tryed driver from nvidia website? works for me
[17:11] <dnivra> CopyWriter: why? whats so scary about it?
[17:11] <CUALL> airstrike: espercially for a foreigner
[17:11] <happyaron> TimbukFive: it worked, but I reinstalled my system, it doesn't work now
[17:11] <legend2440> chandru_in: so it opens from the terminal  and displays that message then stops?
[17:11] <qdb> hello. ubuntu 9.10 postfix package question: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8565964&postcount=248
[17:11] <chandru_in> yes legend2440
[17:11] <Jeruvy> jesse2: best to ask in #winehq, probably a securom issue.
[17:11] <dnivra> well airstrike it's a support channel right?
[17:11]  * saica would like to know how to get a list of installed packages into a text file, so he can rebuild after formatting his system.. again... and also he needs a shoulder to cry on.. and a padded room to go mad in..

[17:12] <Myrtti> Lorens103: /join #channel
[17:13] <domjohnson> Lorens: /j #channel_name
[17:13] <Pranav> cabaro, unexpectedly large filename may come
[17:13] <alberto> domjohnson It causes many problems, doesn't it?
[17:13] <chandru_in> Is it possible that this is caused due to some form of DRM protection?
[17:13] <domjohnson> alberto: indeed
[17:13] <CopyWriter> guys can you tell me if this has been fixed or not https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/462169 and if it has where can i get it
[17:13] <saica> um... ubottu can you not use unicode characters? you message is scrambled with mojibake...
[17:13] <domjohnson> it's canonical's vista.

[17:15] <alberto> domjohnson No, I mean DVD writers
[17:15] <timlee> sryque: thanks. I want to find out the name and type of the drive that has not been unmounted yet.

[17:16] <corecode> hey
[17:16] <domjohnson> anyway - what is it you wanted to know?
[17:16] <alberto> domjohnson Thank you
[17:16] <corecode> i'm wondering how to do a manual/text mode install of ubuntu
[17:16] <happyaron> TimbukFive: any ideas?
[17:16] <TimbukFive> happyaron : open nvidia-settings and try to configure there
[17:16] <chandru_in> airstrike: Nope that doesn't help either
[17:16] <erUSUL> !alternate | corecode
[17:16] <domjohnson> corecode: you need the alternate disk iso
[17:16] <chandru_in> It says "VLC could not read the file."
[17:16] <airstrike> chandru_in: vlc didn't work?
[17:16] <microhaxo> I am bored as hell
[17:16] <soreau> corecode: You probably want to use the alternate cd
[17:16] <chandru_in> airstrike: no it did not
[17:16] <airstrike> chandru_in: then it could be a problem with the video file itself
[17:16] <corecode> domjohnson: thanks, but i'm trying something more complicated
[17:17] <TimbukFive> happyaron : not realy.my xorg looks same , without the boardname entry..i got one. u not
[17:17] <alberto> domjohnson My Ubuntu Karmic doesn't recognise my DVD writer as a writing device, only as a reading one.
[17:17] <happyaron> TimbukFive: only three options, Auto, 640x480, 320x240
[17:17] <airstrike> chandru_in: how did you install vlc? through synaptic/aptitude?
[17:17] <corecode> domjohnson: i booted the install disk using the wubi installer
[17:17] <happyaron> TimbukFive: boardname entry?
[17:17] <domjohnson> Ok
[17:17] <domjohnson> just a sec
[17:17] <legend2440> chandru_in: well if its saying  Use Windows Media Player it sounds like that avi may have some kind of special rights (DRM)  so it can only play in windows.
[17:17] <corecode> domjohnson: now i can't install to the physical partition because it can't unmount itself
[17:17] <saica> is there a way to make ubottu respond in plain text?
[17:17] <corecode> so i'd like to run the install from the terminal from the live cd
[17:17] <chandru_in> airstrike: yes through synaptic
[17:17] <happyaron> omg
[17:18] <domjohnson> alberto: not sure...
[17:18] <erUSUL> saica: does not do that already ?
[17:18] <airstrike> chandru_in: i'd go with what legend2440 said
[17:18] <domjohnson> just a sec
[17:18] <legend2440> chandru_in: right click the avi choose properties then click the  Audio/Video tab
[17:18] <cabaro> pranav: script behind this link (the last one): http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=642037
[17:18] <airstrike> seems like the most likely reason it isn't playing
[17:18] <airstrike> !google "use windows media player" vlc not playing avi
[17:18] <happyaron> TimbukFive: boardname entry?
[17:18] <TimbukFive> happyaron : ye . i have     BoardName      "GeForce 7600 GT"
[17:19] <saica> erUSUL: it uses a few unicode characters, which show up as japanese on my screen (there's a good reason why unicode is interpeted as japanese on my system)
[17:19] <legend2440> chandru_in: compare it with a known good avi and see if any differences
[17:19] <happyaron> TimbukFive: can you paste your xorg.conf?
[17:19] <CopyWriter> samba bug 462169 nmbd dies on startup when network interfaces are not up yet (has it been fixed yet?)
[17:19] <chandru_in> airstrike: tried some sites suggest it might be DRM protected
[17:19] <TimbukFive> happyaron : but dont think that affect anything

[17:33] <anton> Hi!
[17:34] <flodine> why can i run ubuntu 10.04 with no problems and cant run 9.10 is the kernel that bad
[17:34] <Joe__> after I upgraded to 9.10 my scim icon doesn't appear in the system tray... how do I get that back?
[17:34] <om26er> indian_munnda, try this http://lionlix.wordpress.com/2009/10/23/hack-ubuntu-9-10-karmic-koala-gdm-login-screen/
[17:35] <indian_munnda> om26er, reading this only....:)
[17:35] <matelot> Joe_ reinstall it ?
[17:35] <qwerkus> Is there a way to force the ubuntu liveCD installer to use a given hdd ? The app seems to miss one hdd, althought gparted finds no problems.
[17:36] <TimbukFive> qwerkus : use manually partition
[17:36] <anton> is it possible to get 4rth menu in Ubuntu main panel?
[17:36] <daniel______> hi! is there anyone with a working copy of a free pascal config file? (/etc/fpc.cfg), mine is missing:(
[17:37] <nueva> hola
[17:37] <qwerkus> TimbukFive: I am - but there are only two hdds (sdb and sdc) available. How do I force an installation on mission sda ?
[17:37] <Chaotic_Descent> My Ubuntu used to be able to mount NTFS external storage devices, but somehow I broke it. I'm not very good at making Ubuntu work. Will upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10 likely fix the problem, or should I reinstall Ubuntu?
[17:38] <TimbukFive> qwerkus : hm sry than i cant help..got the same problem on automatic partiotion in installtion process, but with manually every hdd was shown
[17:38] <protojay> Chaotic, I would reinstall... infact, might be worth getting a new computer too :P
[17:38] <dahlerus> Chaotic_Descent: reinstalling would be kinda drastic as a first step :)
[17:38] <Chaotic_Descent> the error I get is "unprivileged user can not mount NTFS block devices using the external FUSE library. Etiher mount the volume as root, or rebuild the NTFS-3G with integrated FUSE support and make it setuid root."
[17:38] <indian_munnda> om26er, that doesn't concern my problem, its just telling that how can we change background image theme and fonts of the desktop but i need to change login screen.
[17:39] <dahlerus> Chaotic_Descent: maybe try to reinstall ntfs-3g
[17:39] <chandru_in> erUSUL: w32codecs didn't help
[17:39] <om26er> indian_munnda, you can use jaunty (9.04) for that matter...
[17:39] <Craig_B> just want to say thank you again guys... my wireless is now working thanks to the info you directed me to
[17:39] <chandru_in> :(
[17:39] <chandru_in> anyway thanks for all the help
[17:39] <erUSUL> chandru_in: :|
[17:39] <chandru_in> bye
[17:40] <Aberro> Hi. I heed help or any advice. I try to install winduze 7 (this isn't my comp, but anyway i'm sorry for this action), but this sh(ee)t don't boot. Maybe because system is old enought and SATA works only throught RAID controller. Anyway, installer copied files and setup loader, but on next reboot loader writes "Starting up..." and hangs on even before bootmgr is loaded (I try to replace it with GRUB with same results). How can I boot winload.exe
[17:40] <Aberro> or how can I boot somehow?
[17:40] <TimbukFive>  chaotic_descent , u can get permission to use fuse in user/ group configuration in system panel
[17:40] <indian_munnda> om26er, I did that in jaunty but i have upgraded to karmic koala. And i want to do that in it now.
[17:40]  * om26er don't know how to do that
[17:40] <Chaotic_Descent> dahlerus & TimbukFive: thanks, I'll try looking into those two things.
[17:41] <BluesKaj> !grub | Aberro
[17:41] <TimbukFive> !grub2
[17:42] <Aberro> I restore GRUB, I writing from this comp right now.
[17:42] <Aberro> But I need to run win.
[17:42] <riddlebox> is there anything in karmic, with ssh terminating the connection after a few minutes?
[17:42] <Aberro> Did you know some boot manager that can read ntfs partitions?
[17:43] <jwg> Is there a published list of what is or is not suppoprted with the ATI cards?  I've got a Radeon 9600/RV350AP that I'm trying to get working.
[17:43] <Zeyelth> I'm trying to set up full-disk encryption (LUKS), and have edited /etc/crypttab and /etc/fstab to unlock and mount the drive upon bootup. In Karmic though, the prompt doesn't wait very long for the password to be entered, even though I've set the timeout in crypttab to a large number. What am I missing?
[17:43] <rsk> Aberro, grub or lilo
[17:44] <Aberro> Grub cannot read ntfs and lilo cannot read partitions at all. Damn...
[17:44] <BluesKaj> Aberro, you can edit  /boot/grub/grub.cfg by adding your windows OS , despite the warning in the file, save your changes and sudo update-grub
[17:44] <juggle> Can the USB StartUp Disk Creator create a PERSISTENT bootable Linux USB disk from a requested linux distro?
[17:44] <dahlerus> jwg: try here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsAti
[17:44] <protojay> is downloading torrents supposed to be this slow... ive got a fast connection yet download at like 2-3k/sec?
[17:44] <jwg> Aberro: BluesKaj that file will be overwritten on the next boot.. It's dynamically generated.. edit the file in /etc//
[17:45] <jwg> !grub2 | Aberro BluesKaj
[17:45] <salvo_> !list
[17:45] <jwg> dahlerus: thanks.  frustrating after upgrading from 8.04
[17:46] <domjohnson> !bot
[17:46] <BluesKaj> jwg , are you sure , I changed my grub cfg file and updated it with the update-grub command and it hels my changes upon reboot
[17:46] <BluesKaj> held
[17:47] <BluesKaj> jwg, it doesn't generate a new file everytime you reboot as you imply, what good would that be ?
[17:48] <jwg> BluesKaj: you probably changed it in /etc/boot/grub.cfg .. not in /boot/grub/grub.cfg .. those are two differnt locations..
[17:50] <Chaotic_Descent> no luck getting NTFS external drives working. reinstalled NTFS-3G, and changed user permissions.
[17:50] <Chaotic_Descent> NOW do I reinstall Ubuntu? :)
[17:51] <cyrille> bonsoir a tous
[17:51] <Aberro> Thanks, i'll try in hope that grub 2 can read this damn ntfs.
[17:51] <dahlerus> Chaotic_Descent: I still wouldn't do it, does it work if you are root?
[17:51] <Chaotic_Descent> hrm. I seem to have forgotten my root password. although I thought it was the same as this user's password.
[17:52] <Jamed> !root | Chaotic_Descent
[17:52] <laughzilla> :) anyone know about installing drivers for brother printer/scanner/copier/fax devices?
[17:52] <dahlerus> Chaotic_Descent: can you sudo?
[17:52] <BluesKaj> jwg, never tried  /etc/boot/grub.cfg...don't have that file on my setup , so i don't understand your objections
[17:52] <maxagaz> how to reorganize favorites in ubuntu network remix ?
[17:52] <Chaotic_Descent> uhh... how would I do that? konsole... uh... some kind of... command...
[17:53] <TimbukFive> chatoic_descent : maybe i havent real root account , sudo passwd root . to set root pw
[17:53] <dahlerus> Chaotic_Descent: yeah in the console, type sudo some-command
[17:53] <Chaotic_Descent> what command?
[17:53] <Joelito> hi all, I got a i386 deb package...is it possible to install it on 64 bit ubuntu distro?
[17:53] <TimbukFive> chaotic_descent : maybe you havent real root account , sudo passwd root . to set root pw
[17:54]  * bleah away : afk
[17:54] <Chaotic_Descent> do I want to set a password?
[17:54] <dahlerus> Chaotic_Descent: for root? yes
[17:54] <jwg> BluesKaj: check out the link I posted before.. by ubottu..
[17:55] <TimbukFive> chaotic_descent : once for safety.. and if u want to login as root to try your ntfs issue . yes
[17:55] <Chaotic_Descent> I guess... I guess I did set a root password, because when I use sudo I have to type in the same password for my user account.
[17:55] <BluesKaj> jwg, there's no such file on my setup, so telling me to check out a grub tutorial isn't necessary
[17:55] <Nicked> hello
[17:55] <dahlerus> Chaotic_Descent: yeah, your main user can sudo with its own password as a default, that's normal
[17:55] <Nicked> can some1 help me please
[17:56] <Nicked> I used Wubi to install Ubuntu, everything worked fine
[17:56] <Chaotic_Descent> oh geez... sudo nautilus lets me view the external drive. hrm. not very convenient though.
[17:56] <Chaotic_Descent> although I guess it works.
[17:56] <Nicked> but now when I try to enter Ubuntu it says that file system has been modified
[17:56] <dahlerus> Chaotic_Descent: OK, better than reinstalling, but now we can try to find out what the problem is
[17:57] <storm-zen> I just lost my menu in jaunty gnome.  How do I call it back?
[17:57] <Chaotic_Descent> dahlerus: you say "we" as if I'm capable of more than following instructions. :>
[17:58] <TimbukFive> storm-zen : not sure for jaunty buti n karmic its gnome-panel restart
[17:58] <storm-zen> ( I was trying to run the fusion icon, and I'm not sure what compiz application I actually ran -- it was an icon without a picture that just said "compiz" )
[17:58] <storm-zen> Thanks, TimbukFive.. that sounds familiar.
[17:58] <dahlerus> Chaotic_Descent: so, you say you checked with your user properties
[17:58] <TimbukFive> storm-zen : yep youre welcome
[17:58] <storm-zen> There's one already running.  I think I may have two sessions of compiz running...
[17:58] <BluesKaj> well, time for my daily walk
[17:59] <storm-zen> Is that possible?
[17:59] <dahlerus> Chaotic_Descent: that you have the right to use FUSE?
[17:59] <Chaotic_Descent> dahlerus: yes. ARG, and apparently sudo nautilus has read-only access to the drive!
[18:00] <dahlerus> Chaotic_Descent: OK, let's type in mount and see what it says
[18:00] <Chaotic_Descent> dahlerus: the only thing not checked is access to faxes, and tape drives.
[18:00] <TimbukFive> storm-zen : to reset to default try : gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/panel  ..or u kill with pkill gnome-panel
[18:00] <jibadeeha> can anyone here recommend a good gnome/gtk based dvd ripper?
[18:00] <storm-zen> pkill gnome seems to have done the trick.  Probably an elephant gun approach, though.
[18:00] <Ov3rf10w> jibadeeha, acid
[18:00] <Chaotic_Descent> dahlerus: it spit out a lot after "mount"
[18:00] <jibadeeha> thx Ov3rf10w
[18:01] <jofo> jofo
[18:01] <dahlerus> Chaotic_Descent: OK, do you know what the device name for your NTFS drive is?
[18:01] <dahlerus> Chaotic_Descent: if not just do mount | grep "ntfs"
[18:02] <Chaotic_Descent> dahlerus: mount | grep "ntfs" did nothing.
[18:03] <dahlerus> Chaotic_Descent: my bad, that wouldn't work
[18:03] <enzotib> Chaotic_Descent: sudo bklid | grep -i ntfs
[18:03] <storm-zen> I have created a number of paths in gimp that I want to resize all at once.  I tried doing it in Gimp, and all the paths just disappeared.  Is there another application that can do the job.  ( I saved the paths as SVG, so I expect that they are universally editable?
[18:03] <teadict> dahlerus, enzotib: what if he has more than one NTFS? ):
[18:04] <handjob> Hi all. I woke up today to find there is no sound in my 9.10. Strangely the soundcards (one itegrated and sb live) switched places. I am trying to fix it atm still despite my "alsa-base.conf" looks like this -> http://pastebin.com/f2bc93688 the result of less /proc/asound/cards looks like this -> http://pastebin.com/f6eb3cbd5 . Can somebody please help me.
[18:04] <enzotib> teadict: the same for mount, but it restricts the choice
[18:04] <Chaotic_Descent> enzotib: bklid: command not found
[18:04] <teadict> Chaotic_Descent: "sudo fdisk -l" and deduce which one is it by their sizes
[18:05] <dahlerus> Chaotic_Descent: blkid, but try teadict's suggestion
[18:05] <enzotib> Chaotic_Descent: sorry, it is blkid
[18:06] <Chaotic_Descent> " /dev/sdb1 on /media/sdb1 type fuseblk (ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev,noatime,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096)
[18:06] <dahlerus> Chaotic_Descent: OK, it's mounted read-only for some reason
[18:06] <teadict> by default they are

[18:07] <jofo> I’d like to rebind a few keys, especialy the keys € and $ (those near the arrow keys), with xmodmap, but xev doesn’t detect them. Does someone know what I could try? Is there a special Acer driver I should install?
[18:07] <Chaotic_Descent> I don't remember it being like this before. my USB flash sticks or whatever they're called worked fine.
[18:07] <dahlerus> Chaotic_Descent: try sudo -o remount,rw /dev/sdb1
[18:07] <dahlerus> Chaotic_Descent: try sudo mount -o remount,rw /dev/sdb1
[18:07] <dahlerus> Chaotic_Descent: sorry :)
[18:08] <Chaotic_Descent> illegal option o
[18:08] <Chaotic_Descent> ah
[18:08] <dahlerus> Chaotic_Descent: sorry, see above
[18:09] <Chaotic_Descent> I hate selecting text to copy in IRC. scrolls by and then you can't select "copy"
[18:09] <dahlerus> Chaotic_Descent: you can just select, then paste with middle mouse button
[18:09] <Chaotic_Descent> hrm. have to unmount first, it says.
[18:09] <ravigehlot> I get fail when trying to restart mysql. There is no entry in the logs. How can I restart it verbose to see what's wrong?
[18:10] <Chaotic_Descent> but it deselects as soon as anyone types anything.
[18:10] <Chaotic_Descent> so I have to scroll.
[18:10] <odinsbane> I've always had some trouble with my wireless hotkey.  Right now it works, it turns the wireless on and off, but it doesnt switch the light off/on.
[18:10] <flodine> suse rules
[18:10] <matelot> ? In 9.04 is this - "System->Administration->Networking" - no longer there ?
[18:10] <grawity> Chaotic_Descent: The selected text should still be pasteable
[18:10] <domjohnson> anyone here used FreeCAD?
[18:11] <Pranav> How to get help on "dirent.h" from ubuntu terminal ?
[18:11] <fongoul> I am looking for some help setting up .htpaccess and .htpasswd with apache
[18:12] <Chaotic_Descent> I tried to umount the drive like it asked, but it still says I can't remount until I umount.
[18:12] <AJ_Z0> fongoul: The folks in #apache are usually helpful
[18:12] <grawity> I think you meant #httpd
[18:12] <teadict> fongoul: and I think you meant .htaccess, not .ht*p*access
[18:13] <fongoul> yes your right
[18:13] <teadict> fongoul: also: http://tinyurl.com/ybzat23
[18:13] <AJ_Z0> grawity: Look like you are correct
[18:13] <dahlerus> Chaotic_Descent: hmm weird, did you just plug this thing in, or have you used this before, and now it stopped working?
[18:13] <Glenntipton> Hello Ladies and Gentlemen
[18:14] <fongoul> I am having trouble following the tutorials from apache but thanks for that one teadict
[18:14] <tvjudge> I think something is wrong with my boot loader or my kernel has been buggered coz my wireless stopped working on my hardy laptop
[18:14] <Chaotic_Descent> dahlerus: uh... well it's new, but it works in Windows. but neither this nor my USB flash drives work in Ubuntu.
[18:14] <dahlerus> Chaotic_Descent: no USB drives either?
[18:14] <pesi> hey anyone have aspire 751h?
[18:14] <teadict> fongoul: what's the problem anyway? you should join #httpd anyway, apache is not the responsability of ubuntu
[18:14] <Chaotic_Descent> dahlerus: and my flash drives used to work. I think I messed it up at some point trying to let it access my Windows partition.
[18:15] <Chaotic_Descent> dahlerus: well, this external drive is connected by USB as well.
[18:15] <odinsbane> tvjudge did you update your kernel and then it stopped working?
[18:15] <dahlerus> Chaotic_Descent: can you remember what you did?
[18:15] <fongoul> I know it isn't ubuntu's area, but i got pointed in the right direction
[18:15] <Chaotic_Descent> dahlerus: no idea. it was some stuff I didn't understand at all at the time.
[18:15] <benedikt> !nvidia
[18:15] <dahlerus> Chaotic_Descent: yeah but the USB seems to be OK, since you get read-only access as root
[18:15] <tvjudge> earlier i was runnin <IP_ADDRESS>-rt  but now uname -r shows <IP_ADDRESS>-generic
[18:16] <odinsbane> tvjudge: are you using gnome-network manager?
[18:16] <Younder> teadict, That's not entirely true. ubuntu does not use Apache's default setup
[18:16] <dahlerus> Chaotic_Descent: :) OK, but was it on the command line? If so, maybe it's still in your bash history
[18:16] <tvjudge> odinsbane i was messing with things becoz my sun virtual box was whining about the module not loading
[18:16] <Younder> teadict, so things pertaing to the multi-domain setup could/should be explained here
[18:17] <tvjudge> yes i am using gnome network manager
[18:17] <tvjudge> the wireless device does not show up
[18:17] <Chaotic_Descent> dahlerus: I think it was last year. would that still be around?
[18:17] <dahlerus> Chaotic_Descent: depends on how much you type in there
[18:17] <teadict> Younder: that is if fongoul suspects his htaccess problem is related specifically with ubuntu
[18:17] <teadict> fongoul: do you suspect that?
[18:17] <Chaotic_Descent> wait... there's a /dev/sdb1 that looks like my external drive. I'm not sure what sdb2 was...
[18:17] <dagnachew> hi all
[18:18] <dagnachew> please help I am stuck at 89 % in oracle dbca
[18:18] <odinsbane> tvjudge: you could reboot into your old kernel, if you stil have it and see if that solves the problem.  Or you could disable networking and try ifconfig/iwconfig/dhclient routine.
[18:18] <dahlerus> Chaotic_Descent: yeah, but sdb1 was the one we tried to remount, wasn't is?
[18:18] <odinsbane> tvjudge: are you sure the card is being turned on?
[18:19] <Chaotic_Descent> uhg. where did I get the idea I was dealing with sdb2?
[18:19] <Younder> teadict, well that is well covered at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/howto/auth.html
[18:19] <tvjudge> the card is turned on I have the switch on and the light is lit for the wireless
[18:19] <jwg> before I commnet out "blacklist ath_pci in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ath_pci.conf .. Is there another way to get an Atheros AR2413 working?  use to under 8.04 but not on a fresh install of 9.10
[18:19] <dahlerus> Chaotic_Descent: I don't know :)
[18:19] <tvjudge> iwconfig shows no wireless extensions
[18:19] <teadict> Younder: fongoul's having trouble following the tutos
[18:20] <odinsbane> tvjudge: how about ifconfig wlan0 up first
[18:20] <Chaotic_Descent> ok, I guess I did it right... it says it's not mounted now that I've done sudo umount /dev/sdb1 , but it still won't let me use sudo mount -o remount,rw /dev/sdb1
[18:20] <odinsbane> tvjudge: although for your kernel it might be called eth0/1 or it could be called ath0 if you have an atheros card.
[18:20] <dahlerus> Chaotic_Descent: you can't remount now that it's unmounted
[18:20] <pesi> or wlan
[18:21] <Chaotic_Descent> dahlerus: ... but it told me to!
[18:21] <dahlerus> Chaotic_Descent: don't worry, you can use mount now
[18:21] <tvjudge> odinsbare -- I had removed the wireless and the eth0 from the interfaces and was using the gnome network manger to config the network
[18:21] <Chaotic_Descent> oh... that's remount, not mount. @_@
[18:21] <dahlerus> Chaotic_Descent: but I haven't used NTFS for some time now, give me a sec
[18:22] <mabus> how can I use vnc to connect to the same session that is displayed on the monitor of the host?
[18:22] <Chaotic_Descent> ah. I just take out "remount," from that command. ok. it... ran without telling me anything.
[18:22] <dahlerus> Chaotic_Descent: OK, check it out then
[18:23] <Chaotic_Descent> dahlerus: HAH! AH! It's letting me write to it!
[18:23] <dahlerus> Chaotic_Descent: great success :)
[18:23] <Jeruvy> mabus: you can use the 'remote desktop viewer' in your internet menu to accomplish this.
[18:23] <Chaotic_Descent> dahlerus: thank you. :)
[18:23] <mabus> Jeruvy: but for a windows host what would it use to connect?
[18:24] <mabus> Jeruvy: i mean a windows client
[18:24] <dahlerus> Chaotic_Descent: you're welcome, I'm not sure how you can set the default behaviour for NTFS though
[18:24] <dagnachew> please help I am stuck at 89 % in oracle dbca
[18:24] <tvjudge> what is the diff between kernels -rt and -generic?
[18:24] <odinsbane> tvjudge:I don't really follow that.  even if you use network manager you should be able to control your interfaces with ifconfig
[18:24] <Jeruvy> mabus: check it out
[18:25] <tvjudge> right should i try asdding a line ti interfaces that specifies the wireless wlan0?
[18:25] <odinsbane> tvjudge: probably not yet.
[18:26] <odinsbane> tvjudge: what do you get when you do a lspci can you find your wireless card in there?
[18:26] <DrManhattan> wapner.
[18:26] <erUSUL> tvjudge: rt == real time
[18:26] <albasheers> how to install all empathy plugins
[18:27] <tvjudge> real time means???
[18:27] <Chaotic_Descent> hrm. maybe this package I installed is causing problems. I have ntfs-config
[18:27] <Chaotic_Descent> which I don't even know how to run.
[18:27] <slackguru> Can someone help me understand the relationship between /etc/init.d, /lib/init/upstart-jobs, /lib/lsb/init-functions and any other place that scripts start from? It seems that a lot of software, when removed, does not cleanly remove it's start-up scripts and I want to get a good handle on what, from where, can be manually removed...
[18:27] <odinsbane> tvjudge: if you card is an atheros card you could try re-installing the mad wifi drivers (they should be in your package manager)
[18:28] <dahlerus> Chaotic_Descent: try gksu ntfs-config
[18:28] <tvjudge> is there any advantage over -rt vs -generic?
[18:28] <and_then> is there a quick way to create a shortcut to a folder on the desktop?
[18:28] <rsk> tvjudge, if you need a realtime kernel get -rt
[18:28] <rsk> simple as that
[18:29] <erUSUL> tvjudge: if you dop not know what real time in this context means you do not need a real time kernel
[18:29] <laughzilla> well i got Xsane working on my brother scanner/fax/copier/printer :) thanks anyway people! :)
[18:29] <laughzilla> and happy ho ho holidays!
[18:30] <Chaotic_Descent> dahlerus: well that's interesting. write access is off for both internal and external on that ntfs-config thing.
[18:30] <slackguru> Can someone help me understand the relationship between /etc/init.d, /lib/init/upstart-jobs, /lib/lsb/init-functions and any other place that scripts start from? It seems that a lot of software, when removed, does not cleanly remove it's start-up scripts and I want to get a good handle on what, from where, can be manually removed...
[18:30] <odinsbane> tvjudge: but you might not have all the kernel drivers installed/ such as backports and restricted modules for both kernels
[18:30] <Chaotic_Descent> although I don't want to mess with it since I'm transferring files right now. :>
[18:30] <slackguru> Maybe you can just point me to a good doc that explains everything...
[18:30] <and_then> is there a quick way to create a shortcut to a folder on the desktop?
[18:30] <dahlerus> Chaotic_Descent: yeah, try to enable it afterwards, that should do it
[18:31] <erUSUL> and_then: ln -s folder ~/Desktop/link_name
[18:31] <dahlerus> and_then: yeah, in nautilus right click, make link, then drag the link to the desktop
[18:31] <dagnachew> please help
[18:31] <tvjudge> odinsbane - i am now trying a previous kernel  THis all started with my messing with vbox drivers
[18:32] <odinsbane> tvjudge: did you check your package manager for the madwifi drivers there could be a kernel-restricted module that you need to install for your particular kernel.
[18:32] <CUALL> clear
[18:32] <and_then> thanks dahlerus
[18:32] <and_then> and thanks erUSUL, but not exactly what I was looking for
[18:33] <tvjudge> so i could search in synaptic for mad wifi ?
[18:33] <odinsbane> tvjudge: yes, especially if your wireless card is an atheros card.
[18:33] <michelp> a
[18:34] <emmy> Does anyone know why i can use wifi when it's not encrypted (like right now) but I can't use wifi when it is encrypted even with just wep?
[18:34] <sentabrina> anyone uses Lenovo T400??
[18:34] <erUSUL> tvjudge: for an athereos card use ath5k or ath9k; mad wifi is deprecated
[18:35] <sentabrina> i have problems with ATI radeon... contact me on PM pls
[18:35] <odinsbane> sentabrina: you can just ask, and somebody will point you in the right way.
[18:35] <slackguru> dagnachew, this is not the oracle channel
[18:35] <xfact> anybody know how to access '.abcd' type hidden folders?
[18:35] <xfact> anybody know how to access '.abcd' type hidden folders?
[18:36] <odinsbane> xfact ... cd .abcd
[18:36] <seizui> Ugh. Has anyone had the 'error: device not found' situation on 9.10?
[18:36] <sentabrina> Help me to solve ATI driver problem on Thinkpad T400!!! plesase
[18:36] <odinsbane> sentabrina: whats the problem?
[18:36] <soreau> sentabrina: If you dont state your problem, no one can help you solve it
[18:36] <Grant_Watkins> Whats up.
[18:36] <dahlerus> xfact: what do you mean access? just like normal cd .abcd, or in nautilus you can enable hidden folders (^H)
[18:36] <xfact> odinsbane: please explain it with details ... i am new to ubuntu
[18:36] <dagnachew> slackguru, no kidding
[18:37] <dagnachew> slackguru, i know that
[18:37] <Grant_Watkins> Can someone help me get flash player?
[18:37] <Grant_Watkins> On Ubuntu
[18:37] <xfact> I mean hot to make visible or open '.abcd' type hidden folders like other normal folders...
[18:37] <sentabrina> whenever i install the accelerator driver it kicks after restart.. and i cant even boot rescue mode
[18:37] <TimbukFive> grant_watkins : in synaptic there u get this
[18:37] <shadeslayer> Grant_Watkins: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[18:37] <xfact> *how
[18:37] <slackguru> dagnachew, then why are you asking about 89% oracle install in #ubuntu?
[18:37] <soreau> sentabrina: What card do you have?
[18:37] <sentabrina> synaptic-->flash
[18:37] <odinsbane> xfact: if you want it visible in nautilis then right click on the folder it should display in.
[18:38] <dahlerus> xfact: enable "show hidden folders" in view
[18:38] <odinsbane> xfact: if you want it visible in the terminal ls -a should show it.
[18:38] <dagnachew> slackguru, keep quiet , aight
[18:38] <slackguru> no
[18:38] <Grant_Watkins> I need to download flash player for youtube.
[18:38] <sentabrina> i have ATI MOBILITY RADEON HD 4370
[18:38] <slackguru> Can someone help me understand the relationship between /etc/init.d, /lib/init/upstart-jobs, /lib/lsb/init-functions and any other place that scripts start from? It seems that a lot of software, when removed, does not cleanly remove it's start-up scripts and I want to get a good handle on what, from where, can be manually removed...
[18:38] <slackguru> Maybe you can just point me to a good doc that explains everything...
[18:38] <erUSUL> Grant_Watkins: install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[18:38] <slackguru> I have been looking all over and nothing really explains the relationship...
[18:38] <dahlerus> Grant_Watkins: easiest if you type "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras" in the terminal
[18:38] <tvjudge> odinsbane -- I booted on the .25 generic after cleaning out ny interfces of the etho and wlan0 and now gnome network manager seems to work
[18:39] <odinsbane> sentabrina: were getting closer, what kernel are you running.
[18:39] <xfact> I have got the answer, 'show hidden files' in view...
[18:39] <albasheers> how to install all empathy plugins
[18:39] <erUSUL> slackguru: upstart is still somehow underdocumented
[18:39] <erUSUL> !upstart
[18:39] <tvjudge> the question is how to get these same resuklts with .26 kernel
[18:39] <erUSUL> albasheers: with synaptic ?
[18:39] <tvjudge> you had said i was prolly missing something?
[18:39] <mysphyt> Hey, everybody.  So: I installed 9.10 on my Macbook Pro via USB.  Had some problems, decided to reinstall.  Reformatted my Ubuntu partition. Now, even when I choose "Boot from USB" via rEFIt, I get my grub-rescue prompt from my HDD rather than the Grub menu from my USB.  How do I get to my USB drive now?
[18:39] <sentabrina> ubuntu 9.10 64bit
[18:39] <jph_> I understand that this a Ubuntu chat but I am hunting for someone how can take a second in a private chat to point me in the right direction on building a router firewall and organizing my soon to be rebuilt home network(s)
[18:40] <corecode> hey
[18:40] <slackguru> erUSUL, do you think 'man service(8) would offer an explanation?
[18:40] <odinsbane> tvjudge: I think you are missing a kernel module.  So check your package manager for ath9k, or if you have a broadcomm chip look for that.
[18:40] <corecode> what's the default /boot configuration for 9.10?
[18:40] <corecode> is /boot on a separate file system?
[18:40] <erUSUL> slackguru: man initctl ?
[18:40] <gotham> hi, does anyone know how or what to restart the remote desktop service on a remote machine?
[18:40] <erUSUL> corecode: no; you can choose to do so though
[18:40] <tvjudge> odinsbane how can i identify the wirelss chipset that i have?
[18:40] <odinsbane> sentabrina: did you d/load the fglrx dirvers?
[18:41] <odinsbane> tvjudge: lspci

[18:45] <odinsbane> have you checked something like that in your sources?
[18:45] <seizui> Hey, I am having a problem with Ubuntu 9.10 (32-bit). I have been having trouble with it booting up in the grub due to it giving me the 'no such device' error. I have been reading the forum, but the best that I have found was working around it to log on rather than being able to fix the problem. Has anyone managed to fix it?
[18:45] <odinsbane> sentabrina: so right now you cannot boot to your laptop desktop
[18:45] <seizui> Mind, this is a fresh install as well.
[18:46] <scannie> Hello. I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 and I'd like to change the gnome-panel menu bar's icon. I already tried gconf-editor and placing start-here.png in "~/.icons/Humanity/scalable/places" and in "~/.icons/Humanity/24x24/places"
[18:46] <tvjudge> odinsbane thankyou i will refer to that url you kindly provided to me
[18:47] <guntbert> jph_: ask in ##networking
[18:47] <Bobsama> hi
[18:47] <quesada> is updatedb and locate deprecated already? What's the new thing, tracker?
[18:47] <jph_> ok thanks guntbert
[18:47] <guntbert> jph_: Good luck :-)
[18:47] <Bobsama> can i get some help with a usb drive that's refusing to be correctly bootable?
[18:48] <Kylax> Hello there, I'm having an arguement about the acronym GUI. is it Gee You Eye or Gooey?
[18:48] <fommil> does anyone have a link to setting up apache2-mpm-worker with php5 sites still working
[18:48] <sentabrina> right know i am browsing irc through ubuntu 9.10 64bit... without fglrx drivers.. i had to reinstall linux twice to recognize that the problem is exactly in the accelerator drivers))=
[18:48] <shadeslayer> Kylax: the first one
[18:48] <campee> Kylax: i've heard both
[18:48] <shadeslayer> (gooey is just hilarious :P)
[18:48] <Bobsama> I was using usb-creator and burnt the iso for ubuntu 9.10 netbook remix onto a 1gb flash drive
[18:48] <seizui> Lovely.
[18:48] <Bobsama> from xubuntu 8.04
[18:49] <guntbert> corecode:  "i can't use the install cds" - why not?
[18:49] <shadeslayer> Kylax: #english would be a better place :)
[18:49] <odinsbane> sentabrina: I'm pretty sure, if you have trouble with your drivers, you can boot to the command line and delete your xorg.conf, then when you reboot it will boot safely.
[18:49] <Kylax> rude
[18:49] <corecode> guntbert: no installation media available
[18:49] <shadeslayer> Kylax: eh?
[18:49] <Bobsama> trying to reinstall an updated version of Ubuntu, basically.
[18:49] <seizui> Kylax,  it's  Gooey.
[18:49] <sentabrina> and fglrx will work??
[18:49] <guntbert> corecode: you can install from a usb stick too
[18:50] <corecode> guntbert: i don't have an usb stick either
[18:50] <odinsbane> sentabrina: no, it will get you back to the default drivers and you can try to break it again.
[18:50] <Grant_Watkins> when I try to download flayer player 10 it says, "dpkg: error processing install_flash_player_10_linux.deb ( - - install ) : cannot access archive" No such file or directory Errors were encountered while processing: install_flash_player_10_linux.deb"
[18:50] <Grant_Watkins> whats that meen
[18:50] <sentabrina> shit..
[18:50] <corecode> guntbert: i installed everything, all tasksel, all done.  i just need to install grub
[18:50] <nodie> I've a package, initramfs-tools, that can't be configured because it has a problem in the triggered post install script.... what can I do? Every time I try to reconfigure it generates the same error.
[18:50] <odinsbane> sentabrina: fglrx drivers work very well for me.
[18:50] <sentabrina> on mobility radeon??
[18:50] <odinsbane> sentabrina: how did you install te fglrx drivers?
[18:50] <Bobsama> I cleared up the original "operating system not found" error only to get into syslinux and be stuck with "could not find kernel image"
[18:51] <Bobsama> i tried the commandline approach (/isolinux/vmlinuz) found in a forum post but it says it can't find /isolinux/linuz or any other directory I tried
[18:52] <ThatGuyOverThere> I'm trying to use internet connection sharing with my PS3 from my laptop running Ubuntu.
[18:52] <sentabrina> through hardware
[18:52] <hellyes_> are there any good ubuntu books out for 9.04 or 9.10 yet?
[18:52] <guntbert> corecode: ok - you went the hard way and nearly made it - congrats - but sorry I never did it that way so no help from me...
[18:52] <Bobsama> what am i doing horribly wrong?
[18:52] <seizui> Okay, has anyone had the problem with 9.10 involving the device error deal? If so, has anyone managed to fix it themselves?
[18:52] <ThatGuyOverThere> I've decided to use Firestarter for this, but I already set it up through the command line in what I think may be a somewhat messed up configuration.
[18:52] <ThatGuyOverThere> Is there anyway I can undo that?
[18:53] <sentabrina> mean system>administration>hardware drivers
[18:53] <odinsbane> sentabrina: here is what I do, d/load the latest drivers from ati http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/9.12
[18:53] <Bobsama> anyone? at all?
[18:53] <hellyes_> can anyone suggest a good ubuntu book for 9.04 or 9.10?
[18:54] <sentabrina> in tar.bz2?
[18:54] <odinsbane> sentabrina: no it should be a .run file.  Then run that file to "Build a package"
[18:54] <Guest48353> hi
[18:55] <odinsbane> sentabrina: the link is called 'installer' on the link I just sent you.
[18:55] <sentabrina> downloadnig
[18:56] <odinsbane> sentabrina: then you make it executeable, and you run it with --listpkg, and it will show you all of the available packages.
[18:56] <hellyes_> anyone been able to install the OpenOffice.org 3.2 beta yet?  I download the file but it is a .tar.gz file.  What do I do with this?
[18:56] <sentabrina> i love ubuntu!!! but this is the only problem i have ))=
[18:56] <odinsbane> hellyes_: uncompress it and read the installation notes.
[18:56] <seizui> ...Yeah, I have a problem as well that seems to be getting ignored.
[18:57] <sentabrina> wait a sec on me please ok???
[18:57] <OerHeks> seizui give more info, involving the device error deal?
[18:57] <tplack> How do I get the blocked list of IP's via command line?
[18:59] <tplack> How do I get the blocked list of IP's via command line?
[18:59] <seizui> Well, when I start up the computer, I am at grub and it quickly (OR SLOWLY) jumps to the no device found error. in my case? It's 1e4f8b8e-9b76-49f0-a45d-9b88c2d08868.
[18:59] <guntbert> tplack: if you are talking about iptables - look at the output of iptables -L
[18:59] <stedy> hi could sombody give me some hints with pbuild? making a deb package and get a error saying http://paste.ubuntu.com/345558/
[18:59] <odinsbane> sentabrina: make sure to put the file into an empty directory when you build the package it makes a bunch of files.
[18:59] <seizui> I usually have to do the workaround to log in with hitting 'c' and then do the tedious log-in method that I found at the Ubuntu forum.
[19:00] <sentabrina> i have it
[19:00] <seizui> Few methods(including recent ones) that I was looking up, for some reason, still didn't solve my problem.
[19:00] <sentabrina> how to make it executable??

[19:00] <odinsbane> sentabrina: do you use the terminal?

[19:10] <odinsbane> sentabrina: so if you chdir'd to the correct directory and you made the file executeable then execute it with ./ati-instaler  --listpkg
[19:10] <poot> i defecate too much.  what should i do?
[19:10] <grawity> ...seriously, I need to integrate bogofilter to irssi someday.

[19:11] <corecode> anybody have a fresh karmic install?
[19:12] <odinsbane> sentabrina: did you open the terminal?  and then you type ls ... do you see you d/loads directory?
[19:12] <sentabrina> i have fresh karmic
[19:12] <corecode> sentabrina: can you tell me if you have a separate /boot file system?
[19:12] <corecode> sentabrina: and how big it is?
[19:12] <hellyes_> can someone tell me what I do with a .tar.gz.part file?
[19:12] <guntbert> hellyes_: download the rest of it
[19:13] <sentabrina> 1600MB big
[19:13] <grawity> hellyes_: .part usually means it's just a part of the file, which hasn't finished downloading.
[19:13] <corecode> sentabrina: /boot is?
[19:13] <sentabrina> yes
[19:13] <hellyes_> ahhh
[19:13] <hellyes_> ok
[19:13] <corecode> sentabrina: 1.6GB?
[19:13] <hellyes_> thank you
[19:13] <sentabrina> swap 3 GB
[19:13] <hellyes_> it is still downloading......:)
[19:13] <corecode> sentabrina: which file system?
[19:13] <sentabrina> EXT 4
[19:13] <corecode> sentabrina: you have a separate /boot and /?
[19:14] <sentabrina> yes
[19:14] <sentabrina> i always do this
[19:14] <corecode> ah you manually configured that?
[19:14] <scannie> Is there any way to replace gnome-panel menu bar's icon for all icon sets at once? (ie without replacing the icon file)?
[19:14] <corecode> how do you boot from ext4?
[19:14] <corecode> grub doesn't seem to want to work
[19:14] <poot> feces
[19:14] <sentabrina> it works
[19:15] <sentabrina> or maby...
[19:15] <sentabrina> i dont know
[19:15] <haresh> how to check if my kenal is up to date ?
[19:15] <sentabrina> whats better for boot?
[19:15] <odinsbane> sentabrina: your going to run the file with a --listpkg and then a --buildpkg Ubuntu/9.10 that will create a bunch of .deb files, then you need to install all of those via dpkg -i *.deb and you will need to be root for that.
[19:15] <guntbert> !ops | poot is back
[19:15] <corecode> sentabrina: well if you're using it it must be working, no?
[19:15] <Myrtti> poot: if your goal is to get banned, you're doing a good job so far. Why don't you just stop joining the channel?
[19:15] <Koganei> hm, booted up this morning and I can't RDP to my XP machine from Ubuntu, just says can't connect. I can connect from the same network from another machine though. Any ideas where to start looking?
[19:15] <Myrtti> guntbert: yes, I know
[19:16] <sentabrina> but grub doesn't load
[19:16] <guntbert> Myrtti: sorry - I didn't expect you to follow *that* closely :)
[19:16] <Naytwin>  can anyone tell me where to find good docs on configuring the grub in Ubuntu  version 9.10?  I try configuring /boot/grub/menu.lst with no avail
[19:16] <grkblood13> anyone here have any experience with tsmuxer
[19:17] <Naytwin> i've scowered the internet without much luck
[19:17] <corecode> sentabrina: oh god.
[19:17] <Myrtti> guntbert: it's unlikely I've stopped looking since I kicked him :-)
[19:17] <corecode> anybody else with a working karmic installation?
[19:17] <sentabrina> corecode: what?
[19:17] <corecode> sentabrina: your system doesn't boot?
[19:18] <sentabrina> it works
[19:18] <guntbert> Myrtti: true - apologies offered
[19:18] <poot> feces
[19:18] <corecode> sentabrina: with grub booting from ext4?
[19:18] <hellyes_> I just downloaded the java runtime env ironment and it is a .bin file on my desktop.  Can someone please tell me how to install this?
[19:18] <sentabrina> but i cant run recovery mode
[19:19] <corecode> thx
[19:19]  * crapper feces
[19:19] <sentabrina> corecode: which filesystem is best to use under /boot??
[19:19] <seizui> ...Eh.
[19:19] <Naytwin> nope, I"m on 9.10
[19:19] <happyaron> TimbukFive: my nvidia drivers finally works, thanks!
[19:20] <and_then> lol
[19:20] <salih> hello
[19:20] <guideX> On my Dell 600m laptop with new 160 gb ata-100 ide hdd, I install Ubuntu 9.10 from Alt dvd in text mode or regular install or live and during install ubuntu thinks my drive is scsi, it installs fine, but on first boot it says 'Error no such device <device>' from grub. I've tried rescue a broken system to fix the problem but doesn't help
[19:20] <TimbukFive> happyaron : nice to hear :) you are welcome
[19:20] <seizui> Welp. Thank you for answering my questions. You've been a big help! :D
[19:20] <guideX> On the same laptop, I installed Ubuntu 9.10 on a older failing 30 gb hard drive without a problem
[19:20] <guideX> I have tested another OS on the new hdd to prove it is working
[19:20] <seizui> Huh, you have the same problem that I have, GuideX.
[19:20] <`mOOse`> guideX: I have the same laptop as you (I'm on it right now)....hmm....that shouldn't be happening
[19:21] <guideX> moose: i just replaced the hdd with a new western digital hdd
[19:21] <sentabrina> which file system is better for grub????
[19:21] <guideX> the old one has bad sectors
[19:21] <`mOOse`> very odd
[19:21] <seizui> I'm still going around with my head cut off, since I didn't get an answer or any assistance of the situation.
[19:21] <Naytwin> so, anyone know how to modify the grub startup timeout in Ubuntu 9.10 ?
[19:21] <happyaron> a question on software 'screen', I need to run 'sudo service screen-cleanup start' everytime I boot up my system, or I will get 'Cannot make directory '/var/run/screen': Permission denied'
[19:21] <`mOOse`> and I'm not experienced enough at ubuntu (yet) to really be of help
[19:21] <seizui> The best that I can offer which I am still trying to deal with is this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1337254

[19:23] <Naytwin> m4rtin: thanks!
[19:23] <guideX> but I can't be sure.. *(clueless windows programmer here)
[19:23] <seizui> GuideX: Yeah, I am still trying to solve the problem. I am trying the first post that the person made now. Then I'll see if that works or not. I am not sure. I have a 40 GB harddrive myself and I am on an IBM Thinkpad R40.
[19:23] <hellyes_> I just downloaded the java runtime environment and it is a .bin file on my desktop.  Can someone please tell me how to install this?
[19:24] <`mOOse`> guideX:  but the chipset on this machine is scsi - xp and win7 do the same thing
[19:24] <guntbert> hellyes_: why don't you use the one from the repos?
[19:24] <guideX> I tried doing the update, but dhcp network setup fails, so I'm offline until setup completes
[19:24] <grawity> hellyes_: Why not install from repository instead?
[19:24] <guideX> ahh moose, so that is normal
[19:24] <guideX> it IS in fact scsi then? weird
[19:24] <seizui> Lovely.
[19:24] <seizui> Are you dual-booting or clean installation?
[19:24] <Koganei> so I tried to ssh to my box about 20 minutes ago, and then ctrl
[19:24] <guideX> clean
[19:24] <seizui> Same.

[19:24] <qdb> hello
[19:25] <grawity> !info sun-java6-jre
[19:25] <Koganei> and now it doesn't even show me the password prompt, it just sits there forever
[19:25] <guideX> i've tried all the install methods, from alt dvd, regular cd install, text only
[19:25] <Bobsama> how do i install/compile unetbootin?
[19:25] <seizui> Be right back, I'm trying the first method. We'll see if -that- works. Doubt it, but---eh. ---yeah. This error is irritating me.
[19:25] <Grant_Watkins> what command would open a .deb file from downloads
[19:25] <seizui> Anyway, be back.
[19:25] <Grant_Watkins> I'm trying to learn my way around ubuntu
[19:25] <seizui> Hopefully you get assistance. I didn't get it myself, so..
[19:25] <qdb> please try install "postfix" to 9.10 desktop, can you confirm that it does not install without errors?
[19:25] <`mOOse`> join the party Grant_Watkins ;-)
[19:25] <guideX> I think this is a hard problem so
[19:26] <Bobsama> anyone? how?
[19:26] <donvito-> what pc configuration do i need to have to install karmic
[19:26] <seizui> True.
[19:26] <donvito-> ram graphic card etc
[19:26] <Jamed> Bobsama: which version are you on?
[19:26] <seizui> That is a good point.
[19:26] <Bobsama> 8.10
[19:26] <seizui> Anyway, BRB.
[19:26] <Grant_Watkins> well what does sudo meen?
[19:26] <Bobsama> considering that apt-get didn't work, i dl'd off sourceforge for linux
[19:26] <Jamed> Bobsama: then you have to use a ppa, i'll look which one it is...
[19:26] <guntbert> !sudo | Grant_Watkins
[19:27] <Grant_Watkins> In the terminal what does sudo meen?
[19:27] <Grant_Watkins> ok
[19:27] <honza> i have problem to connect via lan wired i have acer aspire one , any help or good updated document?
[19:27] <iceroot> !sudo | Grant_Watkins
[19:27] <qdb> donvito, at least 512 mb is better, nvidia card is better, i think...
[19:27] <Grant_Watkins> so do I always have to use sud
[19:27] <Grant_Watkins> ssudo
[19:27] <Grant_Watkins> sudo
[19:27] <protojay> Grant_Watkins: sudo will run the command after it, as the root user
[19:27] <iceroot> Grant_Watkins: always if you need to be root
[19:27] <Bobsama> Jamed: and what would a PPA happen to be?
[19:27] <guideX> !Sudo in Windows users terms means "Run as Administrator" hehe
[19:27] <grawity> Grant_Watkins: In command-line, 'sudo dpkg -i foo.deb' to install the package; or run 'gdebi foo.deb' for the graphical application.
[19:27] <haresh> any one around ??
[19:27] <honza> i have problem to connect via lan wired i have acer aspire one , any help or good updated document?
[19:28] <Grant_Watkins> dpkg meens download package?
[19:28] <Jamed> Bobsama: it is an official repostory, which is not included in ubuntu
[19:28] <Grant_Watkins> thats what I was thinking
[19:28] <qdb> hello. somebody please try install "postfix" to 9.10 desktop, can you confirm that it does not install without errors?
[19:28] <honza> i have 9.10 and see it need some compiling
[19:28] <Grant_Watkins> dpkg = download package?
[19:28] <TimbukFive> @ qdb : yes without erros, but didnt configure yet
[19:28] <scunizi> how do I get youtube to play "jerk" free? I've installed flashplugin-nonfree and am using FF for 9.10
[19:28] <protojay> Grant_Watkins, you might find the "man" command useful
[19:28] <honza> do yuo know good manual
[19:28] <guntbert> Grant_Watkins: not quite but please see the next text from ubottu

[19:31] <mazda01> haresh, well that's your answer right there. your kernel is old but then again the kernel changes a lot
[19:31] <mazda01> haresh, im running: 2.6.31-17-generic
[19:31] <guideX> So is the 9.10 release a release candidate or full release?\
[19:31] <haresh> how can i upgrade
[19:31] <mazda01> guideX, full release but not sure if it's LTS (long term support)
[19:31] <seizui> Awesome! GuideX, I managed to get it working. I pretty much did what the first post did.
[19:31] <seizui> Sadly, it takes a long time, but...
[19:32] <guntbert> dsl_: you can remove the keyring password - applications/accessories/passwords...
[19:32] <ZykoticK9> protojay, "cat /dev/cdrom >> image.iso" is one method
[19:32] <protojay> ah
[19:32] <guideX> Hmm I will retry the post. When I did it, it seemed like nothing worked out
[19:32] <seizui> I removed the two parts that was were highlighted in blue and red.
[19:32] <Naytwin> protojay: have you used Brasero disk burner?
[19:32] <seizui> Just remove them, especially when it talks about the scan.
[19:32] <qdb> yes post installation returned error 75
[19:32] <mattmyers83> 9.10 is not a long term release
[19:32] <protojay> naytwin, that does it?
[19:33] <scunizi> mazda01: I actually had both installed at the same time.. removed the non free and works fine now.. thanks
[19:33] <Naytwin> protojay: there is a "burn image" option
[19:33] <seizui> search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set <your certain uuid>
[19:33] <seizui> remove that and the stuff that was highlighted in blue.
[19:33] <donvito-> were to edit motd file
[19:33] <Naytwin> protojay: let me know if it works
[19:33] <guideX> I will try that seizue thanks
[19:33] <haresh> how can i upgrade mazda01
[19:34] <dsl_> guntbert: i dont know what to delete, there are passwords for wireless, ubuntu one, desktop couch (??) etc
[19:34] <mazda01> scunizi, no problem
[19:34] <seizui> (don't forget to change the properties to read and write when you access grub.cfg through root).
[19:34] <protojay> :)
[19:34] <seizui> Not a problem. Glad to be able to help someone out.
[19:34] <donvito-> were to edit motd file
[19:34] <grawity> dsl_: Don't delete anything. Change the keyring's password.
[19:34] <donvito-> were can i edit the motd file in ubuntu
[19:34] <donvito-> ?
[19:34] <qdb> execv /usr/sbin/postalias: No such file or director , but after installation /usr/sbin/postalias is there. what is execv? i think it is not file
[19:34] <grawity> dsl_: http://nullroute.eu.org/~grawity/gnome-keyring-autologin.html
[19:35] <mazda01> haresh, you'll have a long upgrade path from 8.04. first to 8.10, then 9.04, then to 9.10. all done with update-manager depending on what your setting is for upgrades, if you have normal releases it'll work,
[19:35] <ZykoticK9> donvito-, /etc/motd
[19:35] <grawity> qdb: execv() is a Linux system call that programs use when they want to run another program
[19:35] <guntbert> dsl_: patience .-) , right click on passwords:login on the first page - change password - choose an empty one
[19:35] <tvjudge> odinsbane thanks for your kind assistance. I got my wireless working now on the laptop again.
[19:35] <haresh> how can i check that mazda01
[19:36] <bobo1on1> Hi, I have a problem, shutdown, reboot and logout keep disappearing from the gnome menu
[19:36] <guntbert> dsl_: but keep in mind that from now on all your stored passwords (there) are unprotected
[19:36] <dsl_> guntbert: sorry you lost me. first page of what?
[19:36] <qdb> there is apparmor and postfix profiles but it reports nothing , may be because bug do not report but block up...
[19:36] <donvito-> i have
[19:36] <bobo1on1> they come back when I add the "Indicator applet session" and remove it, and they're gone next time I reboot or log out
[19:36] <donvito-> codes like these to add in motd #SSH=`echo $SSH_CLIENT |sed s/'::ffff:'/''/g`
[19:36] <donvito-> SSH=`echo $SSH_CLIENT | gawk -F: '{ print $4 }' | gawk '{ print $1 }'`
[19:36] <donvito-> SERVERLOAD=`uptime|awk '{print $10 " " $11 " " $12}'`

[19:37] <guntbert> !paste | donvito-
[19:37] <grawity> donvito-: that's how it always works - everything in /etc/motd is displayed as is.
[19:37] <sentabrina> hi again
[19:37] <dsl_> guntbert: first table is 'passwords' and has just folder icon below with Passwords: default
[19:37] <bleepbloop> also, how do I make it so i don't see the statuses on irc?
[19:37] <`mOOse`> hey guys who know: there's a repository for "extras" and I can't remember the name of it - guntbert? anybody know what I'm talking about? ;-)
[19:38] <mazda01> haresh, within update-manager settings, then at the bottom of the Updates tab, you'll see "Upgrade Release" make sure it says "NOrmal Releases"
