[13:44] <Dr_willis> kevin__,  proberly best to install vlc and configure the system to use it.. and leave totem alone
[13:44] <el> kevin try to deactivate smooth scrolling
[13:44] <LjL> kevin__: if you remove it, you'll also remove the "ubuntu-desktop" package, which would be better left where it is

[13:53] <eNons3nse> hi.  i'm having a weird issue with sound and video playback.  it seems like every day when i get home from work and sit down at my computer none of my sound works.  totem becomes unresponsive when i try to play videos and vlc only works sometimes after waiting for about 30 seconds.  it will only fix if i restart.
[13:53] <joaospinto> they didnt appear when i used firefox
[13:53] <keyhack> Slart: Acedip: Thanks

[13:54] <Slart> eNons3nse: does your computer go into hibernation or some kind of powersaving mode? that might explain it
[13:54] <n8tuser> joaopinto-> i really dont know, if you have a liveCD and try its xorg.conf  for comparison assuming it works
[13:54] <keyhack> Dr_willis: and what is the difference? I just want to run without a physical HD...
[13:54] <eNons3nse> Slart: i don't think it does.  I just turn the monitor off when i leave.
[13:54] <Slart> eNons3nse: then I don't know.. perhaps there's something in the logs?
[13:55] <joaospinto> ok
[13:55] <joaospinto> thanks anyway
[13:55] <Dr_willis> keyhack,  live cd-mode is smarter a bout whenyou switch from differemt machines.. I use it and the persistant 'feature'  - doing a 'real' install- will proberly be a bigger pain.

[13:56] <Slart> eNons3nse: gksudo gedit /var/log/syslog , take a look near the end.. work your way backwards
[13:56] <keyhack> Dr_willis: thanks, I just need to figure out what wireless PCI card to buy, and what IR remote + receiver, then I can place my order at newegg :-)
[13:56] <b1n42y> why do my tick boxes behave like possessed demons when I edit Main Menu ?
[13:56] <keyhack> I was hoping the mobo came with built in wifi but it doesn't
[13:56] <Dr_willis> keyhack,  yep. Only issue i had was getting my nvidia drivers going.  -  I dont use wireelss much.. and the #mythbuntu guys can proberly point you to the better remotes..

[13:59] <sudobash> so it looks like the problem that caused the Xorg crash was that Xserver didnt know which video adapter to use even though there is just one there are 2 BusID's for it and I had to specify which one I wanted to use or it failed on trying to find a screen...

[14:01] <curly752> Slart: yes i agree with you... but i have had no problem at all until the 8.10 upgrade... i believe the problem is with the linux_usb_list.... i have studied it a lot

[14:19] <Grimm_> well, i wanted to share my internet connection with another computer so i followed a tutorial  found
[14:19] <DasEi>  Build-A-Bear: the link you gave gives be a 404 error
[14:19] <bazhang> !ics
[14:19] <Grimm_> but i must have made some mistake
[14:19] <P_> trying to run the live cd 8.10 without success, by removing quiet splash i got the following messages "ata4.00 unsupported CDB len" "ata4.00 disabled" then it goes into a endless loop with "EXT3-fs : mounted filesystem with ordered data mode" messages displayed every 2 seconds
[14:19] <Grimm_> since now i dont have internet in ubuntu at all
[14:20] <bazhang> Grimm_, /msg ubottu ics
[14:20] <c0re_> how do i change mysql root password???
[14:20] <P_> I tried "irqpoll" "acpi=off" and "pci=nomsi" options, and I even flashed my bios, still no success i'm stuck, probably something related to my SATA drives, this is a lappy, any idea ?
[14:20] <Build-A-Bear> DasEi: that paste was a mistake
[14:20] <Build-A-Bear> ikonia: it says its for 17 and up, tho
[14:20] <dvyjones> jrib: Any other ideas?
[14:20] <DasEi>  Build-A-Bear: using hardy or ibex ?
[14:20] <n8tuser> ForsakenSoul-> can you make a drawing of your network layout and then paste in pastebin?  a picture of network connectivity is worth a thousand words <-- anything yet?
[14:20] <ikonia> Build-A-Bear hard to say "and up" because they don't know what is going to be in future kenrnels
[14:21] <jrib> dvyjones: pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[14:21] <Eressolar> c0re_: sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql
[14:21] <c0re_> thanks Eressolar
[14:21] <Build-A-Bear> ikonia: the link i pasted is the old one, i didnt mean to paste it, there seems to be multiple things clipboards in ubuntu
[14:21] <Build-A-Bear> but the error i pasted is from a kernel driver source iwas trying to compiple
[14:21] <Build-A-Bear> /home/todd/Desktop/r5u870-0.10.0/usbcam.h:36:29: error: media/video-buf.h: No such file or directory
[14:21] <ForsakenSoul> n8tuser did you mean something like http://img230.imageshack.us/my.php?image=networkuo0.jpg
[14:21] <ForsakenSoul> ?
[14:22] <Neaai> Build-A-Bear: indeed there are two clipboards. the X clipboard and the application clipboard.
[14:22] <c0re_> Eressolar, Package `mysql' is not installed and no info is available.
[14:22] <Build-A-Bear> i think i need something-devel
[14:22] <n8tuser> ForsakenSoul-> is that yours? where is the internet connectivity ?
[14:22] <Build-A-Bear> whatever video-buf.h is
[14:22] <basti> mysql-server c0re_
[14:23] <Eressolar> c0re_: Sorry. mysql-server
[14:23] <pep> greets
[14:23] <ForsakenSoul> n8tuser yeah that's mine and ... what do you mean by internet connectivity
[14:23] <ikonia> Build-A-Bear: are there no documents/build instructions with that package
[14:23] <ForsakenSoul> I'm very sorry for the stupid questions
[14:23] <_spm_Draget> where is the JRE installed?
[14:23] <ikonia> Build-A-Bear: I would be VERY surprised if there was no instructions/dependency list
[14:23] <dvyjones> jrib: I have to write it by hand... But there's no errors in it as far as I can see..
[14:23] <Build-A-Bear> ikonia: i just need the devel sources for something, i just dont know what
[14:23] <ForsakenSoul> but I'm still not completely in the english technical jargon
[14:23] <jrib> dvyjones: use pastebinit
[14:23] <ikonia> Build-A-Bear: I would be VERY surprised if there was no instructions/dependency list
[14:23] <jrib> dvyjones: do /var/log/syslog as well
[14:23] <n8tuser> ForsakenSoul-> incomplete information, tell me more how is this connected to your ISP ?
[14:23] <P_> i read on forums posts of users who seem to have similar problem, something related to the mode theri hard drive is running on, but i can't change the mode from the bios, please give me a direction to look at i'm stuck
[14:23] <Build-A-Bear> there are direction ikonia
[14:24] <ikonia> Build-A-Bear what do they say ? do they tell you waht you need
[14:24] <n8tuser> ForsakenSoul-> what is your native language?
[14:24] <Build-A-Bear> its just make make install, but its looking for something
[14:24] <ikonia> Build-A-Bear thats not what I asked, what do the unstructions README or INSTALL say
[14:24] <dvyjones> jrib: Lots of "<time> lihenrik gdm[14800]: WARNING: Couldn't authenticate user"
[14:25] <jrib> dvyjones: install and use the pastebinit command
[14:25] <ForsakenSoul> n8tuser bulgarian
[14:26] <dvyjones> jrib: And some "<time> lihenrik gdm[14***]: WARNING: Didn't understand `' (expected true or false)"
[14:26] <create> i have a quick question about cpu settings on a laptop with 8.10
[14:26] <jrib> dvyjones: do you understand what I am asking you to do?
[14:26] <create> intel laptop
[14:27] <dvyjones> jrib: Just need to get my wireless up and running first... (was depending on NetworkManager to be running, which it don't)
[14:27] <dvyjones> How do I connect to a wireless WPA-PSK network through the command line?
[14:27] <pep> I would like to activate the framebuffer, to get the correct resolution in the tty's. I found a couple of topics about it, you have to add fbcon and vesafb to the modules, unblacklist vesafb and set the usplash conf and the grub menu.lst... I'm wondering, are all these steps still necessary under Intrepid?
[14:28] <ikonia> pep yes
[14:28] <n8tuser> pep try it
[14:28] <c0re_> !webmin
[14:28] <pep> ikonia, right, thank you ;)
[14:28] <c0re_> !ebox
[14:28] <LjL> dvyjones: you can do that using iwconfig and iwpriv
[14:28] <LjL> dvyjones: i'm not sure of the entire procedure, though
[14:29]  * dvyjones googles
[14:29] <n8tuser> ForsakenSoul-> try to have your router operate in a different channel freq than your other transmitter.  for example one on channel 3 the to other on channel 9
[14:29] <rue7363> dvyjones: 1. sudo killall NetworkManager 2. wpa_passphrase YOUR_ESSID > /tmp/w.conf (input your passphrase) 3. sudo wpa_supplicant -D wext -i wlan0 -c /tmp/w.conf
[14:30] <jfreekao> Eh... I'm going to reinstall Ubuntu and then come back. If I have any more questions, I will ask
[14:30] <ForsakenSoul> hmm n8tuser one of the problems is that I can't configure the transmitter :(
[14:30] <jrib> jfreekao: you should try to get the broadcom sta driver
[14:30] <jrib> jfreekao: using hardware drivers
[14:30] <rue7363> dvyjones: after you see "CTRL-EVENT-CONNECTED - Connection to ..." do  sudo dhclient wlan0  in another terminal
[14:30] <ForsakenSoul> and btw n8tuser the transmitter and the router don't cross ranges
[14:30] <jfreekao> how?
[14:30] <P_> could my problem be because i have burn the live cd on a DVD instead of on a CD ?
[14:31] <jrib> jfreekao: come here and troubleshoot *that* problem before using ndiswrapper
[14:31] <ikonia> P_ the image is meant for a cd
[14:31] <n8tuser> ForsakenSoul-> then you can reconfigure your router, btw when you say transmitter, that means transmit only, or you really meant a radio that do transmit and receive?
[14:31] <P_> ikonia, that could explain why it goes to busybox 20 sec after the splash ?
[14:31] <thetank> i need help getting sound to work in 8.10 plz
[14:31] <ikonia> P_ maybe
[14:31] <ForsakenSoul> hmm n8tuser I believe transmit and recieve
[14:31] <c0re_> LjL, i having a problem
[14:31] <c0re_> ebox:
[14:31] <c0re_>  Depends: libapache-authcookie-perl  but it is not installable
[14:31] <P_> i only had dvd rw..
[14:32] <ForsakenSoul> n8tuser a wireless access point
[14:32] <n8tuser> ForsakenSoul-> that is a more better description than calling it transmitter
[14:32] <jfreekao1> I will. Not trying NDISwrapper again, because I'm positive that it messed up my sound
[14:32] <roadfish> how to I play a Nintendo DS movie on Ubuntu?
[14:32] <n8tuser> ForsakenSoul-> check the route table of the laptop that cannot connect, its ip address too
[14:32] <dvyjones> Seems like I had a lot of unmet dependencies :O
[14:32] <LjL> c0re_: on Intrepid?
[14:33] <thetank> i need help getting sound to work in 8.10 plz
[14:33] <thetank> it worked in hardy
[14:33] <bazhang> check its not muted thetank in terminal type alsamixer
[14:33] <joaopinto> jfreekao, is very unlikely that NDISwrapper interefered with the sound
[14:34] <sigma> does anyone know how to use video in on nvidia cards (7600gt) to record tv under linux?
[14:34] <c0re_> LjL,  yes
[14:35] <dvyjones> jrib: It was all unmet dependencies in the package repository :O
[14:35] <LjL> c0re_: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list please
[14:35] <thetank> bazhang it said connection refused
[14:36] <bazhang> thetank, connection refused when you typed alsamixer in terminal? that was the entire error message?
[14:36] <nazim> hi
[14:36] <ForsakenSoul> n8tuser ok what should I be looking for when I'm looking at the connections from the laptop
[14:36] <ForsakenSoul> ?
[14:37] <thetank> also said snd_ctl_open failed bazhang
[14:37] <c0re_> LjL,  http://paste.ubuntu.com/74324/
[14:37] <TJ-42> in ubuntu 8.10, the system allows an encrypted "Private" folder... does the system avoid transferring open files from the Private folder into the swap disk?  Or is the only way to actually secure this data to use whole disk encryption?
[14:38] <jumcore> hello when i want to test glxgears, theres this error >> XIO:  fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0.0"

[14:39] <avarus> hi
[14:40] <avarus> I ran the update from yesterday and now my firefox can't display any website anymore...what went wrong? I restarted firefox after the update and it worked...I'm running intrepid for amd64
[14:40] <nazim> i have need some information for our some students want to study in russia
[14:40] <c0re_> LjL, http://paste.ubuntu.com/74328/
[14:40] <bazhang> nazim, this is not the right place for that; this is Ubuntu Linux OS support channel
[14:40] <mysteryc> What package can I download to record my dekstop and have also mic supported?
[14:40] <avarus> mysteryc, recordmydesktop
[14:41] <mysteryc> !off-topic | nazim
[14:41] <mysteryc> avarus: thank you :)
[14:41] <hololight> Xsss4hell: http://pear.php.net/package/MDB2
[14:41] <nazim> what ubuntu/
[14:41] <bazhang> Linux OS nazim
[14:42] <ConstantineXVI> mynyml: sys -> prefs -> appearance -> visual effects
[14:42] <mysteryc> nazim: You are in the support channel of Ubuntu. Ubuntu is an open source operating system.
[14:42] <mysteryc> !ubuntu | nazim
[14:42] <nazim> bazhang u can personaly inform me my email add by
[14:42] <c0re_> LjL, i believe intrepid dont have libapache-authcookie-perl
[14:42] <bazhang> nazim, no. please no more chatting here thanks
[14:42] <LjL> c0re_: you are correct
[14:42] <LjL> c0re_: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ebox/+bug/255368
[14:42] <c0re_> http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libapache-authcookie&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all
[14:43] <rue7363> nazim: why are you here if you don't even know what ubuntu is?
[14:43] <mynyml> ConstantineXVI: right, but its reset on every boot
[14:43] <nazim> bazhang what is ur name and contact information
[14:43] <mynyml> ConstantineXVI: look for a config that sets it as default
[14:43] <c0re_> LjL,  can i install hardy version?
[14:43] <mynyml> *looking for
[14:43] <LjL> c0re_, the bug report i posted has a solution
[14:43] <Nergoth`> guys, I have question
[14:43] <ConstantineXVI> mynyml: is this a fresh install, or has it been running for a while?
[14:44] <avarus> nazim, http://www.ubuntu.de
[14:44] <Nergoth`> Debian vs Gentoo vs Fedora vs CentOS vs FreeBSD? What for the server?
[14:44] <marcelo_> hello
[14:44] <bazhang> nazim, please stop. no chatting here
[14:44] <avarus> Nergoth`, ubuntu server
[14:44] <bazhang> Nergoth`, wrong channel
[14:44] <mynyml> ConstantineXVI: pretty fresh, but it worked fine until i tried a dual monitor setup
[14:44] <marcelo_> does anyone know why the Monitor Settings Applet show the incorrect refresh rate? It shows 50Hz even though I'm using 60Hz (the monitor built-in status menu shows 60Hz)
[14:44] <nazim> i understand it
[14:44] <marcelo_> any hints?
[14:44] <marcelo_> :)
[14:44] <Xsss4hell> hololight but howto install it on ubuntu??
[14:45] <Nergoth`> avarus, I have ubuntu server now and I'm disappointed, too many bugs and there is no experimental repository
[14:45] <Xsss4hell> hololight I don't know howto install Pear packages in ubuntu
[14:45] <ConstantineXVI> mynyml: you could add "compiz --replace" into a startup item in sys/prefs/sessions
[14:45] <mynyml> ConstantineXVI: yea i have. feels hackish though..
[14:45] <ConstantineXVI> mynyml: but that's a bit of a duct-tape solution if you ask me
[14:45] <ForsakenSoul> n8tuser ok I tried it ... the only difference between the connecting and unconnecting is that the access point is different
[14:45] <nazim> if i instal in my pc its benifit
[14:46] <ForsakenSoul> everything else including the frequency bit rate and signal lever are the same
[14:46] <avarus> Nergoth`, mhh...I normally use the distri I can handle myself best
[14:46] <nazim> i check ubuntu from web
[14:46] <avarus> Nergoth`, and that is slackware
[14:46] <ForsakenSoul> including the noise level and ip's etc
[14:46] <Nergoth`> avarus, there is no bugs in security but in functionality. theoretically ubuntu have newer packets than debian, but in Debian I don't have any problems
[14:46] <ConstantineXVI> mynyml: try making a new user (or starting a guest session) and see what happens
[14:46] <audunh> noob question, what is the path of the ubuntu trashcan?
[14:46] <ikonia> Nergoth`: use what you see fit/best for your needs, no-one can tell you what you need/want/like
[14:46] <mynyml> ConstantineXVI: hmm.. good idea
[14:46] <ikonia> !trash > audunh
[14:46] <bazhang> Nergoth`, do you have an ubuntu support question?
[14:47] <ConstantineXVI> audunh: iirc it's /home/user/.Trash
[14:47] <ikonia> ConstantineXVI it's not
[14:47] <Xsss4hell> hololight: I'd be very thankfull if you could help me out
[14:47] <Slart> ConstantineXVI: it's moved
[14:47] <ConstantineXVI> audunh: i'm wrong
[14:47] <God_Like_> Hi
[14:47] <Slart> ConstantineXVI: ~/.local/share/Trash iirc
[14:47] <God_Like_> If I want to contribute to an open source project
[14:48] <God_Like_> where do i begin?
[14:48] <bazhang> !contribute
[14:48] <hololight> Xsss4hell: Taking a glance in that package there are some docs to help you out
[14:48] <Nergoth`> what's the general Linux and Unix channel?
[14:48] <avarus> Nergoth`, unix.com is fine
[14:48] <Slart> God_Like_: you can take a look at sourceforge.. I think they have some kind of "help needed" section
[14:48] <SpriteSODA> hi guys i need a bit of help
[14:48] <ikonia> God_Like_: this channel is for ubuntu support only, if you google you'll find my open source projects - pick one you like and sign up
[14:48] <audunh> thank you :}
[14:48] <God_Like_> ok
[14:48] <hololight> Xsss4hell: it is a tgz file, extract it and take a look at the DOCS directory
[14:49] <Grimm_> is there any way to reset the network settings to the factory defaults? other than reinstalling ubuntu
[14:49] <SpriteSODA> i've added a driver to the blacklist including all of his aliases and it stills shows up in ndiswrapper -l
[14:49] <ikonia> Grimm_ factory default is everything on raoming
[14:49] <ikonia> roaming
[14:49] <ConstantineXVI> SpriteSODA: you need to pull the driver from ndiswrapper by "ndiswrapper -e driver"
[14:49] <Nergoth`> #unix.com
[14:49] <Nergoth`> lol :)
[14:50] <ikonia> Nergoth why is that funny ?
[14:50] <SpriteSODA> its not the driver i installed with ndis, its a driver conflicting with i
[14:50] <SpriteSODA> it*
[14:50] <ikonia> Nergoth`: this channel is for ubuntu support only - is there an ubuntu issue/question ?
[14:50] <SpriteSODA> (i suspect it is anyway)
[14:50] <nazim> its
[14:50] <Nergoth`> ikonia, I just forgot to write /join :)
[14:50] <hololight> SpriteSODA: by blacklisting ndiswrapper all you have done is kept that driver from loading... when you run the program ndiswrapper -l you are telling ndiswrapper to tell you what is inside it.
[14:50] <nazim> ikonia
[14:50] <Nergoth`> ikonia, yeah I know, so I'm looking for the general Linux channel
[14:51] <Grimm_> i tried to share the connection and screwed up my dsl so now it connects but theres no internet
[14:51] <ikonia> nazim what ?
[14:51] <Grimm_> i just want it back the way it was
[14:51] <hololight> SpriteSOADA: if you have blacklisted ndiswrapper, it does not matter what is shown by ndiswrapper -l
[14:51] <nyarla> i updated hardy to intrepid last week, and i'm still unable to mount password protected samba shares with nautilus. It was working nicely with hardy. What sould I do?
[14:51] <SpriteSODA> nono i didnt blacklist ndiswrapper
[14:51] <SpriteSODA> i blacklisted a driver named p54usb
[14:52] <SpriteSODA> which i suspect is conflicting with my ndis driver
[14:52] <ForsakenSoul> hey n8tuser are you still here ?
[14:52] <hololight> Sprite: try removing ssb as well
[14:52] <SpriteSODA> because my connection gets disconnected after a while and cant reconnect
[14:53] <SpriteSODA> i've blacklisted ssb aswell
[14:53] <SpriteSODA> still no good
[14:53] <vikkio_> ehi guys
[14:53] <Grimm_> anyone? i have no idea how to reverse the modifications i made, since i just followed a tutorial
[14:53] <vikkio_> someone know how to install glx driver on intrepid ibex?
[14:53] <SpriteSODA> where can i find the best driver for my usb adapter for ndiswrapper?
[14:53] <LjL> Grimm_: perhaps someone could help if you told us which tutorial you followed
[14:53] <hololight> Sprite: did you check lsmod to ensure that they really aren't there?
[14:54] <hololight> Sprite: the companies website
[14:54] <ConstantineXVI> SpriteSODA: your driver CD
[14:54] <vikkio_> someone know how to install driver intel glx?
[14:54] <rue7363> Grimm_: which tutorial? if you can't tell which steps you have done, how should we know how to reverse them?
[14:54] <SpriteSODA> i used the driver cd :(
[14:54] <Grimm_> just a minute
[14:54] <SpriteSODA> so it must be conflicts then
[14:54] <anubis> Has anyone ever seen where the fonts in a menu or occasional website look like they're "Smudged" ?
[14:54] <ConstantineXVI> SpriteSODA: what card?
[14:54] <hololight> Sprite: then chances are good that it is not the problem
[14:54] <Grimm_> can i post a link
[14:54] <rue7363> Grimm_: yes
[14:55] <hololight> Sprite: when you onnection dies, can you connect to a different network? or is it totally dead till reboot?
[14:55] <LjL> Grimm_: i just asked you for one, so yes
[14:55] <Grimm_> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/sharing-internet-connection-in-ubuntu.html
[14:55] <Grimm_> this is what i did
[14:55] <SpriteSODA> totaly dead
[14:55] <SpriteSODA> in lsmod they're gone
[14:55] <sliverchair> music is still playing, but I already closed rhythmbox, also checked system monitor
[14:55] <Grimm_> im sure i did something wrong
[14:55] <sliverchair> how do stop it?
[14:55] <SpriteSODA> but ndiswrapper is '0' under Used
[14:55] <SpriteSODA> :S
[14:55] <mysteryc> Help with Recordmydesktop.
[14:55] <Grimm_> i just want it back for now so i dont have to go back and forth between ubuntu and windows to ask something
[14:55] <anubis> Has anyone ever seen where the fonts in a menu or occasional website look like they're "Smudged" ?
[14:56] <hololight> Sprite: sift through lsmod to be sure that nothing else is loading.... i have had problems with blacklist just not doing the job and things like ssb loading anyway
[14:56] <mysteryc> I can't get it to work properly. I am trying to record but I don't know how. I can't find it in the Applications menu, :s
[14:56] <Vallhalla82> !screencast
[14:56] <SpriteSODA> did that
[14:56] <SpriteSODA> they're not in lsmod
[14:56] <hololight> Sprite: has it ever worked correctly?
[14:56] <nomingzi> pls advise me a model of LinkSys Wireless adapter (USB) to work well in Ubuntu, or where can i find a list of Ubuntu supported hardware list ?
[14:57] <SpriteSODA> under Windows it works fine
[14:57] <bazhang> !hcl > nomingzi
[14:57] <hololight> Sprite: under linux, has it ever worked?
[14:57] <SpriteSODA> nope
[14:57] <LjL> Grimm_: to reverse what you did, type the following in a terminal: sudo apt-get --purge remove apt-get install dnsmasq ipmasq ; sudo sed -i.bak 's/net.ipv4.ip_forward.*/net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0/' etc/sysctl.conf
[14:57] <SpriteSODA> im in linux right now and i got connection but its gonna get offline anymoment i guess
[14:57] <LjL> Grimm_: then reboot
[14:58] <Grimm_> thank you ljl
[14:58] <khanm78> ello guys im back again
[14:58] <LjL> Grimm_: for an official tutorial on internet connection sharing, see this
[14:58] <LjL> !inetsharing | Grimm_
[14:58] <LjL> Grimm_: firestarter should be easy to use
[14:58] <hololight> Sprite: have to tried removing the modules and reloading them after the connection dies?
[14:59] <khanm78> does anyone know why my mouses right click seams to be assigned to muliple tasks?
[14:59] <the_wise1> i m new on here
[14:59] <the_wise1> i had a question
[14:59] <khanm78> welcome the_wisel
[14:59] <the_wise1> hey
[14:59] <anubis> Has anyone ever seen where the fonts in a menu or occasional website look like they're "Smudged" ?
[15:00] <khanm78> im kinda a noob aswell
[15:00] <the_wise1> yeah
[15:00] <anubis> As am I
[15:00] <SpriteSODA> after it dies, there are wierd phenominas, for example iwconfig wont work
[15:00] <SpriteSODA> stuff like that
[15:00] <the_wise1> i m really new even in linux..lol
[15:00] <khanm78> ask and see what replays you get
[15:00] <LjL> ok, so you're new to linux. now how about your ask your question?
[15:01] <Vallhalla82> Welcome to the good side of computing the the wise1
[15:01] <the_wise1> how do i change channels on here
[15:01] <Zzeiss> #join unibody
[15:01] <LjL> the_wise1: you mean join a different channel?
[15:01] <the_wise1> yes
[15:01] <LjL> the_wise1: /join #channelname
[15:01] <fosco_> the_wise1: /join #channel
[15:02] <hololight> Sprite: got me, try a different (old/ new) windows driver in ndis perhaps?
[15:02] <Zzeiss> typoed.... sorry
[15:02] <the_wise1> do u i just need to type that in and it should give me the different channels
[15:02] <SpriteSODA> the stupid comany site doesnt have driver download there :S
[15:02] <anubis_> Anyone have any sujestions as what to use for c++ Programming ? thx ..
[15:02] <anubis> Has anyone ever seen where the fonts in a menu or occasional website look like they're "Smudged" ?
[15:02] <LjL> the_wise1: yes, of course #channelname should be the name of an actual channel
[15:02] <SpriteSODA> linux-wlan-ng is connected to this somehow?
[15:03] <SpriteSODA> i think i installed it but i have no idea how to use it
[15:03] <rue7363> SpriteSODA: no, linux-wlan-ng is for old 11mbit cards only
[15:03] <khanm78> no if you want a list of channels look servers and join channel that should show you the channel names
[15:03] <hololight> Sprite: is it shown as loaded?
[15:03] <khanm78> if you already know which channel you want then do as instructed above
[15:03] <bobJR> im having a problem with kftpgrabber see im using a no-ip.org ftp address to connect to and when it loses connection it doesnt reconnect for some reason and when i hit connect to connect it a dialog comes up saying to resume overright yada yada and i put resume but it overwrites
[15:04] <the_wise1> can anyone help me with ssh
[15:04] <LjL> !anyone
[15:04] <bobJR> does anyone have a answer to this
[15:04] <Dwade09> hi ikonia
[15:04] <Zzeiss> anubis: smudgy-looking fonts mean that the font is not one that you have, so the interpolator is doing the best they can,
[15:04] <Vallhalla82> !ssh
[15:04] <rue7363> the_wise1: be more specific
[15:05] <SpriteSODA> linux-wlan is installed i belive
[15:05] <khanm78> my right mouse button seams to be assigned to multiple tasks how do i get it back to a default task only?
[15:05] <SpriteSODA> dont see it in iwconfig or anywhere i looked
[15:05] <evan_> hey when i set my wvdial settings just like they need for my phone, my phone shows the internet gateway icon but i aint got intyernet on my pc\
[15:05] <the_wise1> i wanna use ssh to login remotely to my computer at home..like remote desktop
[15:05] <Zzeiss> anubis: the fix is to change either the screen resolution or the font till you get pretty results,
[15:05] <DerKleidersack> Sorry, is there any way to get the nformation, which HW uses which driver (module)?
[15:05] <SpriteSODA> but wlancfg is working
[15:05] <hololight> Sprite: hold on, ill take a look
[15:05] <SpriteSODA> donno what to do with it
[15:05] <SpriteSODA> ok
[15:05] <Guest86417> install wireless driver(ath5k) in ubuntu 8.10
[15:06] <hololight> Sprite: pull that driver
[15:06] <fosco_> the_wise1: read this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto
[15:06] <rue7363> the_wise1: ssh does not give you remote desktop. you can forward single X applications through it, though
[15:06] <bobJR> i guess ill figure it out myself like i always do thanks for the help anyway it sucks to have to overwrite the file so many times because it won't resume
[15:06] <mprem> wassup
[15:06] <mprem> exit
[15:06]  * bobJR idles gonna figure this out
[15:06] <sudobash> i love how the new sshd tells you complete system info when you login
[15:07] <hololight> the_wise1: use a vpn and then you can use 'terminal server client'
[15:07] <SpriteSODA> pull it?
[15:07] <SpriteSODA> remove?
[15:07] <savid> Anyone here run dual monitors w/ ibex?  I have one panel w/ a window list on each screen. On hardy, when I moved a window to a screen, it showed up in that screen's window list.  Now, on ibex,  both window lists only show the windows from the left screen.  It never shows windows from the right screen. Any ideas??
[15:07] <hololight> Sprite: yes
[15:07] <the_wise1> hows does that work
[15:07] <SpriteSODA> kk
[15:07] <rue7363> hololight: you can also use ssh to forward arbitrary tcp ports
[15:07] <SpriteSODA> btw it has yet to disconnect im now confused :S maybe the blacklisting did the trick
[15:07] <rue7363> hololight: so no need for vpn
[15:07] <DerKleidersack> SpriteSODA: Sorry? Do have you meant my question?
[15:07] <khanm78> ill come back later when its not as bussy
[15:08] <NET||abuse> hi guys,, on Interpid, trying to install ffmpeg from medibuntu, need h264 to take large mov files and encoding for a web video/flash player project i'm working on.
[15:08] <SpriteSODA> nope Derek :)
[15:08] <filthpig> Hi, why isn't joomla included in ubuntu's repo?
[15:08] <rue7363> khanm78: it's always that busy here
[15:08] <hololight> yes, but setting up a vpn may perhaps be an easier option in this case...
[15:08] <hololight> such as hamachi or the like
[15:08] <evan_> ok i got internet working!! i can ping google.. but i still cant browse... hows that?
[15:08] <rue7363> hololight: no, because it needs root privs. ssh does not.
[15:08] <SpriteSODA> ok i got rid of linux-wlan-ng
[15:08] <khanm78> lol rue7363 i was on last night 2am uk time was slower
[15:09] <NET||abuse> when i select force version to the medibuntu ffmpeg, it keeps teeling ffmpeg dependancies: libavcodec1d and libavformat1d, are only virtual packages and can't be installed, where can i get these?
[15:09] <the_wise1> how can i connect to my pc at home while at school?
[15:09] <hololight> Sprite: ok, waiting game i guess
[15:09] <khanm78> not dead just slower
[15:09] <SpriteSODA> indeed
[15:09] <keystr0k> I know this probably isn't the right channel, but I wasn't sure where to post... When I am at home, I can SSH onto server XYZ and the connection never closes. When I am at work, I SSH to server XYZ and it closes after maybe 5 minutes... any ideas?
[15:09] <ikonia> the_wise1 depends what firewall ports are available to you
[15:09] <SpriteSODA> ty hololight you helped me alot :)
[15:09] <hololight> Sprite: we will see how much I actually helped
[15:09] <Guest86417> help me with ath5k in ubuntu 8.10
[15:09] <rue7363> the_wise1: is your pc at home behind a router or directly connected to the internet?
[15:09] <savid> Also, when I right click on panel applets, the context menu always shows flush left with the screen!  Ugh, I should never have upgraded to ibex.
[15:10] <rue7363> Guest86417: ath5k is already installed on 8.10
[15:10] <DerKleidersack> Sorry, is there any way to get the information, which HW uses which driver (module)?
[15:10] <Guest86417> i can see it when i left click on networking
[15:10] <n8tuser> keystr0k-> compare the config settings at your home and at your work?
[15:10] <Guest86417> i cant see it when i left click on networking
[15:10] <sidewalk> Does anyone know if I can download all Google Gadgets in one bundle?
[15:11] <NET||abuse> so anyone got a clue about using the medibuntu ffmpeg pacakge under Intrepid?
[15:11] <the_wise1> yes its behind a router
[15:11] <zer0> help me with ath5k in ubuntu 8.10
[15:11] <NET||abuse> zer0: EeePc?
[15:12] <Guest58166> acer aspire 4530 atheros ar5007eg
[15:12] <aefa> =/ Running 7.10 with Firefox 3 manually installed in /opt - can't seem to get it to acknowledge the 64 bit flash plugin.
[15:12] <jrib> NET||abuse: umm.  Does such a package exist?  Just build it yourself (set DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=externalcodecs when building)
[15:12] <thetank> is there a default system restore in intrepid?
[15:12] <Andreica> hello. sometimes i start some big applications(that consumes much RAM), and because of it...my computer slows down. is any application that prevents it?
[15:12] <kbrosnan> aefa: you need to uninstall all other flash
[15:12] <n8tuser> thetank-> its call re-install ?
[15:12] <shinoj>  thetank:  is there a default system restore in intrepid? i too am looking for this
[15:12] <aefa> already done
[15:13] <n8tuser> thetank-> its called re-install ?
[15:13] <NET||abuse> jrib: grrr, i suppose i have to build it,,,, yeh the package is there on medibuntu, just the libav[codec|format]1d  packages seem to be unavailable.
[15:13] <Guest58166> help me with ath5k in ubuntu 8.10
[15:13] <jrib> NET||abuse: not here: http://packages.medibuntu.org/intrepid/index.html
[15:13] <rue7363> Guest58166: for that card you need ath9k, not ath5k.
[15:13] <NET||abuse> jrib: the other issue is the medibuntu package version is older than the official ubuntu ffmpeg, though official is stripped of good codecs :(
[15:13] <rue7363> Guest58166: but even ath9k should be in 8.10
[15:13] <the_wise1> what's a good tool to use for wireless packet sniffer
[15:13] <kbrosnan> aefa: there may be files that are still a problem, as that is the general symptoms of having more than one version of flash installed
[15:14] <Guest58166> how can i check it?
[15:14] <rue7363> Guest58166: modinfo ath9k
[15:14] <thetank> i want to rectify all the junk i did while following ubuntu "guides" to fix my sound n8tuser
[15:14] <Andreica> any idea?
[15:14] <aefa> kbrosnan: I've slocated "flash" and removed all files
[15:14] <jrib> NET||abuse: it's a two or three line procedure, just takes forever to compile
[15:14] <Skinwalker> does neone notice problems launching gedit from thunar with intrepid? there's a huge spike in cpu usage and takes a while before the file is open
[15:15] <rue7363> !legal | the_wise1
[15:15] <n8tuser> thetank-> i hope you learned to save a copy of configs before modifying them.. i dont know of any other way to reset other than fresh install
[15:15] <Andreica> how to defragment HD in linux?
[15:15] <Guest58166> where is ubuntu board?
[15:15] <thetank> sadly i didn't n8tuser :(
[15:15] <Guest58166> i want to paste my result
[15:15] <ikonia> Andreica you don't need to
[15:15] <kbrosnan> Andreica: no need
[15:15] <ikonia> !paste > Guest58166
[15:15] <will00> i have a usb keyboard with an internal usb hub. whenever i plug anything into the keyboard, it stops working. whatver i plug in works fine, but the keys stop registering and i cant type anything
[15:16] <the_wise1> wireless packet sniffer..anybody know if ettercap-ng is any good
[15:16] <Dr_willis> Andreica,  ext2/3 do not normally have fragmentation problems.. if thats what you mean..
[15:16] <shinoj> !paste >shinoj
[15:16] <NET||abuse> jrib: ok,,,, one sec.. just lookingup what it gives me when i'm forcing medibuntu version on intrepid..
[15:16] <Andreica> yes, thanks :-)
[15:16] <n8tuser> thetank-> now while you are new i assume, this is a good time to learn about debootstrap installation, am also assuming your /home is in a separate partition
[15:16] <SpriteSODA> holo?
[15:16] <SpriteSODA> it just happened :P
[15:16] <SpriteSODA> but
[15:16] <jrib> NET||abuse: at least on amd64 medibuntu provides no ffmpeg
[15:17] <SpriteSODA> it happened when i chose to download updates
[15:17] <SpriteSODA> no idea if that means anything
[15:17] <erUSUL> !defrag | Andreica
[15:17] <thetank> no it's not n8tuser... im all ears
[15:17] <SpriteSODA> but its not the first time it gets wrecked when i do it
[15:17] <hololight> Sprite: and you had to reboot?
[15:17] <SpriteSODA> yup
[15:17] <NET||abuse> jrib: i'm on 64bit, this is what comes up under available versions.. maybe it's backing off to the hardy version automatically?? see if this matches the 64bit hardy medibuntu version   cvs20070307-5ubuntu7.1+medibuntu1
[15:17] <Hideme> Any ideas why my sound just stops working for no apparent reason?
[15:17] <Andreica> i didn't know it. thanks
[15:17] <n8tuser> thetank-> i dont know of any other ways then but fresh install and this time make the /home separate
[15:17] <NET||abuse> that looks OLLLD
[15:18] <hololight> Sprite: I saw you drop, figgured that it was the prob again
[15:18] <SpriteSODA> when trying to reconnect it keeps asking for the WEP pass but no use
[15:18] <SpriteSODA> :P
[15:18] <Dr_willis> backing up home somewhere is always a good idea... thats niot the same as a 'system restore'
[15:18] <jrib> NET||abuse: probably, as ffmpeg uses svn now too
[15:18] <NET||abuse> jrib: yup,, hmm
[15:18] <hololight> Sprite: did you try rmmod driver and modprobe driver?
[15:18] <SpriteSODA> im trying again to download the updates, lets see if it will screw my connection again
[15:18] <SpriteSODA> and i tried and it said: no file / folder
[15:18] <NET||abuse> jrib: is there a stable src tag or something i can use, or is ther ffmpeg-src package available for ubuntu to compile from safely?
[15:19] <SpriteSODA> modprobe just skipped a line in the terminal
[15:19] <SpriteSODA> didnt do anything visual
[15:19] <jrib> !source > NET||abuse
[15:19] <Guest58166> me too..need help with wireless
[15:19] <SpriteSODA> ok managed to download the updates
[15:20] <SpriteSODA> i guess it was a coincidence
[15:20] <julle_> What can i do to reset my audiosettings in ubuntu. I changed the soundinput in Audacity and noticed that my SPDIF stopped working. I changed back to my original settings and rebooted my computer. But it still doesn't work, any ideas?
[15:20] <jrib> NET||abuse: just set DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS as I said before on the same line as dpkg-buildpackage.  You'll need some more packages than what you get with apt-get install build-essential and apt-get build-dep ffmpeg, but the error will list them
[15:20] <hololight> Sprite: if rmmod and modprobe work, they dont give you any notification, they only do so when they aren't working
[15:20] <hololight> Sprite: which card do u have?
[15:20] <hololight> Sprite: i need some strong tea...
[15:20] <jrib> NET||abuse: you'll probably also want to run dch -i and append ~netabuse
[15:20] <jrib> NET||abuse: you'll probably also want to run dch -i and append ~netabuse1 to the package version
[15:21] <SpriteSODA> Wistron NeWeb

[15:21] <khanm78> why does my right mouse button seem to be assigned to multiple tasks, at the moment it is used to display the list for cut, crop past etc but it is also pulling up a save window
[15:21] <NET||abuse> jrib: hmm, ok,
[15:21] <SpriteSODA> i think its prisma54
[15:21] <jrib> NET||abuse: feel free to ask if you aren't sure about a step
[15:21] <SpriteSODA> nono prisma 02
[15:21] <SpriteSODA> somethin like that
[15:22] <Guest58166> must ath5k use ath9k in ubuntu 8.10?

[15:37] <JonathanEllis> Hi, I am reinstalling Grub after a windows install. After sudo grub I type root (hd0,5) as the partition containing /boot is /dev/sda6. Grub reports Error 23: Error while parsing number. The first time I did this I put the wrong root in as I misunderstood, thinking I needed the location of /boot/grub (I have a dedicated grub partitio). Any ideas please?
[15:37] <pos69sum> jrib - i noticed this when i login via ssh
[15:37] <remote> pos69sum: then it is a login shell, if the default shell is bash then it will read /etc/profile if the file exists
[15:37] <will00> v4vijayakumar: skype should be in the repositories
[15:37] <hololight> v4vijayakumar: skype
[15:37] <vinoth> K3b
[15:37] <pos69sum> ah ok
[15:38] <Dr_willis> skype is in the medibuntu repos i think
[15:38] <Joker_-_> vinoth: looks and feels like Nero
[15:38] <Dr_willis> !skype
[15:38] <hololight> skype is in the repo's
[15:38] <pos69sum> probably default shell is not bash
[15:38] <remote> pos69sum: do you have a specific problem?
[15:38] <Joker_-_> !k3b > vinoth
[15:38] <v4vijayakumar> I was checking into synaptic package manager.., but skype is not there..
[15:38] <D--> Finally, a live IRC channel
[15:38] <psusi> JonathanEllis: you have a dedicated partition for /boot, or for /boot/grub?
[15:38] <jrib> pos69sum: unless you changed it, your user's default shell is bash
[15:38] <Joker_-_> D--: this isnt live, it's recorded
[15:38] <Dr_willis> D--,  we are all bots. :)
[15:38] <D--> haha
[15:38] <hololight> sorry v4, you need to add the mediabuntu repo to your sources list
[15:39] <Joker_-_> !bot > D--
[15:39] <pos69sum> yeah default shell is bash
[15:39] <will00> does anyone know how to get a usb keyboard hub to recognize usb devices without deactivating the keyboard?
[15:39] <vinoth> joker: but i havent K3B
[15:39] <JonathanEllis> psusi: I have a dedicated partition for /boot/grub                /boot is on the same partition as /
[15:39] <remote> will00: you already asked that question
[15:39] <pos69sum> i just rebooted, then ssh'd to the machine, and env vars were not set automatically
[15:39] <v4vijayakumar> hololight, how to do that..?
[15:39] <jrib> pos69sum: try logging into a tty
[15:39] <remote> pos69sum: where did you set the environment variables?
[15:39] <D--> I knew #ubuntu had to have something going on. These days, every time I start up on IRC I feel like it must have had an exodus to Facebook or something
[15:39] <hololight>  v4vijayakumar: go to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu to add that repo... then you will be a ble to search for skype
[15:39] <xiangfu> pos69sum: set it in .bash_profile
[15:40] <Joker_-_> vinoth: either use synaptic or apt-get install to get it
[15:40] <jrib> loller: edit -> preferences -> preview in nautilus
[15:40] <remote> pos69sum: don't listen to jrib
[15:40] <pos69sum> i'd like to set it system wide as i may want to use chkconfig to start up tomcat automatically
[15:40] <anubis> Anyone here a wine expert?
[15:40] <jrib> heh
[15:40] <psusi> JonathanEllis: hrm... that's an odd setup... that error message doesn't make sense to me, but I think grub expects to find itself in /boot/grub, or at least /grub... if it's files are in the root of that partition, you might need to create a symlink named grub pointing to .
[15:40] <Joker_-_> vinoth: in console: sudo apt-get install k3b
[15:40] <D--> anubis: me.
[15:40] <pos69sum> and it requires JAVA_HOME
[15:40] <v4vijayakumar> thanks hololight
[15:40] <anubis> Got a minute D-- ?
[15:40] <D--> anubis: At least in the internationalization department.
[15:41] <psusi> JonathanEllis: why give /boot/grub its own partition btw?
[15:41] <D--> anubis: I can take a shot at it.
[15:41] <D--> anubis: Be warned, it
[15:41] <Joker_-_> D--: do Cedega still exists?
[15:41] <remote> pos69sum: then you set it in the init script, not system wide
[15:41] <D--> 's a work night and I'm halfway through a bottle of Olmeca :P
[15:42] <D--> Joker: Their Web site does.
[15:42] <russell__> I'm using the awn launcher. where can I get more apps for it?
[15:42] <Joker_-_> if (exists(Cedega) && wine > Cedega) { echo "true";}
[15:43] <Tapout> /etc/fstab   has .. UUID=  ... can I just say .. /dev/sdb1 ?
[15:43] <Joker_-_> I guess one of these conditions isnt fullfilled
[15:43] <Tapout> I'm adding another drive
[15:44] <Joker_-_> Tapout: you can, but using uuuid is better
[15:44] <wiijii> Afternoon all. Anyone got any funky bash colouring variables they'd like to share? My console looks miserable
[15:44] <Joker_-_> Tapout: you can find it by looking in /dev/disk/by-uuid or something like that
[15:44] <wiijii> i.e. PS1
[15:44] <JonathanEllis> psusi: Its a configuration recommended by http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm#How_to_make_a_separate_Grub_Partition_ and http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/grub/grubpartition.htm#_Why_Dedicate. Its basically because I want to multi boot. Grubs files are in /boot/grub on my grub partition so when that partition is mounted as /boot/grub then grubs files are actually in /boot/grub/boot/grub. I think this is to deal with [quote from psus
[15:45] <julle_> where is alsa config localted?
[15:45] <psusi> JonathanEllis: ahh, when mounted it needs to be in /boot/grub
[15:45] <Tapout> Joker_-_, how do you resolve a new UUID?
[15:45] <Tapout> or lookup the uuid for /dev/sdb1 ?
[15:46] <psusi> JonathanEllis: why not put all of /boot on that partition thoguh?
[15:46] <Joker_-_> julle_: all config files are in /etc/... so it should be in /etc/alsa
[15:46] <erUSUL> !uuid | Tapout
[15:46] <julle_> Joker_-_: thank yuo
[15:46] <Joker_-_> Tapout: personally, I just list the "files" in the /dev/disk/by-uuid and find the one I'm looking for... try ls -l
[15:47] <Joker_-_> Tapout: ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/
[15:47] <dvsoftwa1e> hi, i just upgraded to interpid and i can't move my mouse nor type on keyboard (in x session), how can i solve this?
[15:47] <Joker_-_> should be enought to find wich one is the one you are looking for
[15:47] <Joker_-_> dvsoftwa1e: lucky you, most of us can't even see a thing ;)
[15:48] <JonathanEllis> Oh, but it works perfectly on another machine mounted as /boot/grub/boot/grub. Once the OS has booted, the grub files are not used again anyway so it doesnt even need to be mounted by the operating system - I just mount it for convenience so I can easily edit menu.lst if necessary. The first time I specified root as (hd0,0) because I thought it needed the location of /boot/grub rather than /boot. Here I didnt get this error 23.

[15:49] <chainoo> #ubuntu-es
[15:49] <psusi> JonathanEllis: you only have one hard disk right?
[15:50] <JonathanEllis> psusi: I should mention I am doing all this from a livecd to restore grub after a windows install so I  am using grub from a terminal on the livecd. On one machine I have three hard disks - this approach worked fine on that one. The machine I am working on at the moment only has one hd
[15:50] <psusi> JonathanEllis: well, it looks odd but I don't see anything wrong... certainly don't see why you would get that error message... unless maybe you typed an upper case o instead of a zero
[15:52] <JonathanEllis> psusi: [JonathanEllis strikes himself on the forehead exclaiming Dumkopf!] Its not even an upper case o its a lower case one!
[15:52] <psusi> lol
[15:52] <Joker_-_> JonathanEllis: LOL
[15:52] <Joker_-_> they shouldnt have put "o" near the 0 on the keyboard
[15:53] <psusi> heh, you're right... they are right next to each other...
[15:53] <HeinHein> ya un fançai ici ?
[15:53] <Joker_-_> psusi: yeah. thats a common typo
[15:53] <Joker_-_> HeinHein: moi
[15:53] <Joker_-_> HeinHein: quebecois en fait
[15:53] <HeinHein> ok
[15:53]  * psusi learned to touch type so long ago, have to pretend he's typing to remember where keys are
[15:53] <SpriteSODA> holo?
[15:53] <Joker_-_> psusi: same lol

[15:54] <speps> hey guys how can i download from different mirrors in the same time with wget?ThANkS
[15:54] <HeinHein> coomen on fai pour trouver un otre serveur ?
[15:54] <Joker_-_> speps: I dont think it's possible
[15:55] <LjL> HeinHein: /join #ubuntu-fr
[15:55] <Joker_-_> HeinHein: #ubuntu-fr or you'll get kicked/banned...
[15:55] <speps> Joker_-_: is there a software that can do it?
[15:55] <HeinHein> thank you
[15:55] <HeinHein> sa marche pas
[15:55] <JonathanEllis> psusi: The fingers type fast but the mind needs to check what they are typing! Now it works - only it seems the root statement in the grub terminal interface is actually looking for the partition containing /boot/grub. Makes sense I suppose since the next statement is setup (hd0) - makes sense it wants to know where /boot/grub is so it can setup the hd from there
[15:55] <Joker_-_> speps: I eard of one while searching on the web but I can't say for sure
[15:56] <erUSUL> !info axel | speps maybe this one
[15:56] <Joker_-_> HeinHein: what kind of server are you talking about? You mean sources for Ubuntu or IRC server?
[15:56] <LjL> Hein, ecrive /join #ubuntu-fr ici, sans d'espaces avant de la /
[15:56] <ohdamnallnics> what does the 8.10 DVD have that the CD does not?
[15:56] <Joker_-_> ohdamnallnics: things
[15:56] <LjL> ohdamnallnics: more packages.
[15:57] <user01_> where do you edit tags  (colours) in thunderbird?
[15:57] <Joker_-_> ohdamnallnics: nothing you can't download trough web afterwards
[15:57] <ohdamnallnics> does anyone know what packages?
[15:57] <D--> Joker: Ding ding ding. Right answer
[15:57] <Joker_-_> ohdamnallnics: should be listed on ubuntu's website
[15:57] <Joker_-_> D--: !!! I WON!
[15:57] <ohdamnallnics> its not .......
[15:57] <JonathanEllis> psusi: Thanks. Now my laptop is busy booting - just need to add the hated windows entry to menu.lst now. Thats the easy part
[15:58] <Joker_-_> ohdamnallnics: well, anyway, if you need anything you can ALWAYS install it later...
[15:58] <Joker_-_> ohdamnallnics: plus, you'll have updated versions
[15:58] <Joker_-_> ohdamnallnics: you shouldnt install from dvd... theres almost no possible gain and lots of downsides...
[15:59] <WebcamWonder> user01_, In the preferences, there is a tab to configure the gtags
[15:59] <jun> hi all
[15:59] <erUSUL> !hi | jun

[15:59] <jun> i'm having difficulty getting more than 4gb of ram to appear in ubuntu 64bit
[15:59] <jun> system monitor only displays 3.9gb
[15:59] <D--> Joker: If he is communicated with us by his telepathic link to freenode and actually has no internet acces, then I would argue the DVD has many benefits!
[16:00] <jun> i have 6gb installed
[16:00] <erUSUL> jun: with 64bit there shouldn't be any problem at all
[16:00] <Joker_-_> D--:  ;)
[16:00] <erUSUL> jun: are you ure this is 64 bit?
[16:00] <HeinHein> on ma banni
[16:00] <jun> so is it a problem with my memory?
[16:00] <jun> are one of the modules dead? I'm running 3 x 2gb
[16:00] <afdafs> >_>
[16:00] <erUSUL> jun: what does "uname -m" returns?
[16:00] <HeinHein> pk yen a ki parle fransai ici ?

[16:01] <dvsoftwa2e> hi, i just upgraded to interpid and i can't move my mouse nor type on keyboard (in x session), how can i solve this?
[16:01] <jun> i even tried installing opensuse 64bit
[16:01] <jun> no love there either
[16:01] <The-Kernel> Hi, on boot up, the "configuring networks" stalls for something like 5 minutes, I presume that's because its trying to get the DHCP address for both the wired and the wireless
[16:02] <Joker_-_> jun: something might be wrong with your basic configuration (BIOS)?
[16:02] <The-Kernel> is there a way to shorten the length of time that it tries to connect?
[16:02] <erUSUL> jun: those the bios see all the ram ? and memtest ?
[16:02] <The-Kernel> from like 2 minutes to 15 seconds
[16:02] <Joker_-_> jun: if no OS can see your ram... do the BIOS see it?
[16:02] <jun> how do i run a memtest?
[16:02] <afdafs> holo are you here?
[16:02] <afdafs> oops
[16:02] <erUSUL> jun: there is an option on grub to launch it
[16:02] <D--> jun: It should count your ram at boot
[16:02] <D--> oh, that kind
[16:02] <erUSUL> jun: it is one of the entries
[16:02] <jun> ah
[16:02] <SpriteSOD> my user has yet to disconnect
[16:02] <SpriteSOD> :P
[16:03] <RyanPrior> Can Ubuntu connect to AOL?
[16:03] <Joker_-_> jun: first, check your bios then try a memtest... you can do it all in 1 boot :)
[16:03] <jun> and memtest will let me know if one of my modules is dead?
[16:03] <Joker_-_> jun: memtest will tell you is the ram is good
[16:03] <racerx> does anyone know if I can update my bios from a vmware windows guest?
[16:03] <UnknownUser58> RyanPrior:try pigeon
[16:03] <dvsoftwa2e> racerx: you can't
[16:03] <n8tuser> jun-> sudo dmidecode   shows you what your memory are doing
[16:04] <erUSUL> racerx: i doubt it
[16:04] <racerx> is there any other way?
[16:04] <LjL> racerx: of course not, you'd update the bios *of the virtual machine* if anything (not really, but)
[16:05] <erUSUL> racerx: you can create a freedos floppy with the os utility and flash from it
[16:05] <erUSUL> racerx: there is nice how to on the forums
[16:05] <n8tuser> jun-> rather it shows you the memory information as it is used..
[16:05] <racerx> i have a laptop that does not have a floppy drive.
[16:05] <RyanPrior> UnknownUser58: There's no pigeon package I can find.
[16:06] <racerx> erUSUL: do u have a link to it
[16:06] <dvsoftwa2e> it's 'pidgin'
[16:06] <naf> When I move my mouse pointer sometimes it jumps all over the place. Anyone know where to look?
[16:06] <test> how do i delete something through the terminal?
[16:06] <dvsoftwa2e> test: 'rm'
[16:06] <RyanPrior> dvsoftwa2e: I didn't ask for an IM client, though. :-(
[16:06] <LjL> test: "man rm"
[16:06] <Dr_willis> naf,  dust in the mouse.
[16:06] <UnknownUser58> dvsoftwa2e:how embarrassing
[16:06] <dvsoftwa2e> RyanPrior: oh...
[16:06] <naf> Its an infrared mouse
[16:06] <Dr_willis> naf,  or a bit of crud at the laser.. :) seen that befor
[16:06] <LjL> RyanPrior: you weren't very clear for sure
[16:06] <jrib> test: rm or gvfs-trash if you just want to put it in the trash can so you can restore it if you need to
[16:06] <Joker_-_> racerx: I wouldnt upgrade a bios troug a vmware. First, I dont thin kit can work, second, that would mean you have somewhere near 3 layers of software running to update your bios...
[16:06] <Dr_willis> naf,  they still get dirty
[16:06] <Joker_-_> racerx: thats way too much
[16:06] <ndf> how come the server edition of ubuntu by default stores home dirs in /home/ instead of /usr/home/ ?
[16:06] <dvsoftwa2e> UnknownUser58: eh?
[16:06] <RyanPrior> Can Ubuntu connect to AOL dial-up service?
[16:07] <erUSUL> racerx: http://egypt.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=318789
[16:07] <naf> No, it's fine in Windows. I think it's a driver issue.
[16:07] <Arch3Angel> anyone good with bash scripting?
[16:07] <jrib> ndf: because that's how it's usually done?
[16:07] <racerx> thanks everyone
[16:07] <RyanPrior> Arch3Angel: you might want to ask in #bash
[16:07] <jrib> Arch3Angel: or ask an actual question
[16:07] <Dr_willis> RyanPrior,  at one time ages ago there was an aol-linux package.. but that was 4+ yrs ago.. im not sure  if it even still exists...
[16:07] <ndf> jrib: in my experience it's allways been /usr/home/ in most distros
[16:07] <zenlunatic> Arch3Angel: I'm okay
[16:07] <musikgoat|main> ndf: thats the same for all versions of ubuntu
[16:07] <Hideme> Any ideas why my sound just stops working for no apparent reason or what I can restart to get it back?
[16:07] <Arch3Angel> o sorry did not know they had a room - i also already asked the question
[16:07] <erUSUL> Arch3Angel: ask here or in #bash
[16:07] <ice-nine> naf:  My mouse does that every now and again.  Quite irritating while playing a FPS.  Try cleaning the eye as Dr_willis suggested.
[16:07] <n8tuser> RyanPrior-> it can dialout and maybe attempt to connect modem to modem, anything beyond that, you have to know what aol uses
[16:07] <ndf> musikgoat|main: no, my box is /usr/home/
[16:07] <musikgoat|main> ndf: actually in all debian derivitives
[16:08] <jrib> ndf: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#HOMEUSERHOMEDIRECTORIES
[16:08] <zenlunatic> naf: yeah my mouse does that too. wireless mice suck
[16:08] <RyanPrior> n8tuser: I don't know much, just that my parents use AOL and when I go home, I can't connect my laptop to the dial-up.
[16:08] <dvsoftwa2e> anyone got an idea why my input devices stopped working after upgrade to interpid?
[16:08] <erUSUL> ndf: /usr/home is a convention is some other Unix like Solaris AIX or HP-UX
[16:09] <naf> It's not the eye, and it's not wireless. When I said infrared I really meant laser
[16:09] <LjL> !info penggy | RyanPrior
[16:09] <n8tuser> RyanPrior-> convince your parents to get rid of AOL and switch to dsl or cable
[16:09] <ndf> erUSUL: so hardy is an odd one out?
[16:09] <LjL> RyanPrior: err well, it exists in hardy
[16:09] <ice-nine> naf:  are you using a mousepad?
[16:09] <jrib> ndf: all ubuntu version use /home
[16:09] <test> how do i rm a directory i made in the terminal?
[16:09] <dvsoftwa2e> test: rm -r
[16:09] <jrib> test: rmdir
[16:09] <ndf> jrib: no, my box uses /usr/home
[16:09] <test> thanks
[16:09] <musikgoat|main> ndf: hardy doesn't set it up that way by default, but it could have been configured like that when setting up the install
[16:09] <Joker_-_> sudo test: rm -rf
[16:10] <naf> whatever it's called, it doesn't have a yoke, just a light on bottom. But it's fine most of the time. Then sometimes it shoots from one end of the screen to the other.
[16:10] <jrib> ndf: what version of ubuntu?  That's not default
[16:10] <erUSUL> ndf: well given current market share of Linux (including Ubuntu) versus traditional unices i say that the odd ones are the others
[16:10] <Joker_-_> errmm... anyway
[16:10] <ndf> jrib: hardy 8.04, it was default, i didn't change it

[16:14] <pisecx> sipior: actually it doesn't matter, because my computer is just stop to work. this is protection of BIOS
[16:14] <Joker_-_> pisecx: gauge can be wrong
[16:14] <pisecx> and it's hot
[16:14] <erUSUL> !it | EleCtrA
[16:14] <Joker_-_> pisecx: true, if it stops, theres defenitly a problem... bu tnothing runs and the cpu isnt used...
[16:14] <DecemberWolf> hey, i cant get ubuntu to install on my pc. i have md5 checked and burned with 2 different drives and 2 different burning programs. it loads the gui screen but when i click install, it loads for a bit and i get a black screen with an X in the middle. the cd stops spinning and i left it on 3 hours, no change. can i get some advice please?
[16:15] <pisecx> I asked this question on forum and got some strange answer: ondemand cpufreq governor
[16:15] <Joker_-_> pisecx: you are absolutely positive that your cpu usage is below, say, 50%?
[16:15] <pisecx> Joker_-_: yep
[16:15] <pisecx> Joker_-_: sure 100%
[16:15] <Joker_-_> pisecx: doesnt make sence...
[16:15] <Kevin^^> Is it possible to do some kind of cleaup of old configuration files, files and other stuff - Like in windows?
[16:15] <erUSUL> pisecx: you can change the policy linux uses for drive your cpu
[16:15] <darrend> any way of telling why Xorg is using >30% CPU when it should be close to idle?
[16:15] <erUSUL> pisecx: install cpufrequtils
[16:16] <Joker_-_> erUSUL: would "nice" be of any use in that case?
[16:16] <sipior> pisecx: is the cpu genuinely idling, or is it in i/o wait?
[16:16] <sipior> pisecx: better: just paste the relevant line from top :-)
[16:16] <erUSUL> Joker_-_: do not think so...
[16:16] <ocs> hi. is there a way to downgrade vlc0.9 to vlc0.8 without compiling source code ?
[16:16] <ocs> (ubuntu 8.10)
[16:16] <DecemberWolf> hey, i cant get ubuntu to install on my pc. i have md5 checked and burned with 2 different drives and 2 different burning programs. it loads the gui screen but when i click install, it loads for a bit and i get a black screen with an X in the middle. the cd stops spinning and i left it on 3 hours, no change. can i get some advice please?
[16:16] <naf> What's the linux mouse driver manager called?
[16:16] <erUSUL> pisecx: and run "sudo cpufreq-info"
[16:17] <musikgoat|main> ndf: i think i figured out why you have /usr/home
[16:17] <Joker_-_> pisecx: can you do as sipor suggested, paste the line in top that shows CPU usage mem usage and all
[16:17] <ndf> musikgoat|main: yes?
[16:17] <musikgoat|main> ndf: did you setup encryption for your home dir?
[16:17] <Kevin^^> Is it possbile to do some kind of cleanup of old configurationfiles, files and other things you dont need in linux? Such as in windows?
[16:17] <pisecx> erUSUL: one moment please, dpkg was corrupted because computer has been turned off when I was installing something
[16:17] <ndf> musikgoat|main: i don't think so.
[16:17] <Joker_-_> pisecx: in top, type "1" then "z" and copy/paste it in nopaste or something like that
[16:17] <erUSUL> pisecx: oops
[16:17] <DecemberWolf> hey, i cant get ubuntu (8.10, desktop i386) to install on my pc. i have md5 checked and burned with 2 different drives and 2 different burning programs. it loads the gui screen but when i click install, it loads for a bit and i get a black screen with an X in the middle. the cd stops spinning and i left it on 3 hours, no change. can i get some advice please?
[16:17] <musikgoat|main> ndf: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystemHowto   this talks about moving /home to /usr/home on an encrypted arat
[16:17] <marcelo_> does anyone know why the Monitor Settings Applet show the incorrect refresh rate? It shows 50Hz even though I'm using 60Hz (the monitor built-in status menu shows 60Hz)
[16:18] <musikgoat|main> *area
[16:18] <pisecx>  5505 root      20   0  294m 131m  30m S   11  6.9   1:39.95 Xorg
[16:18] <marcelo_> any hints?
[16:18] <pisecx> 11%
[16:18] <musikgoat|main> ndf: but thats all i've got
[16:18] <sipior> Kevin^^: generally that's not needed. you can try purging packages, instead of just removing them, to get rid of unused config files
[16:18] <dtolj> Whats the equivalent of "net send \domain " on linux?
[16:18] <ndf> musikgoat|main: k
[16:18] <Joker_-_> DecemberWolf: yeah I call that the BSOD - Black Screen oF Death.. I have the same issue
[16:18] <erUSUL> dtolj: i think samba has a compatible send command
[16:18] <dvsoftwa2e> anyone? i can't move mouse nor type on keyboard after upgrading to interpid :/
[16:18] <ndf> dtolj: i'm pretty sure some samba utils replace those
[16:18] <musikgoat|main> ndf: either way, its not a bad thing really, you just have to know where yours is at in comparison to everyone else
[16:18] <mo> #gentoo
[16:18] <sipior> Kevin^^: given how cheap disk space is, it's not really terribly useful, and sometimes you find yourself removing configuration files that would have proven useful in the future.
[16:18] <erUSUL> dtolj: i think samba has a compatible *net* command
[16:19] <dtolj> thanks
[16:19] <erUSUL> dtolj: man net
[16:19] <ndf> musikgoat|main: yeah i just thought that was standard, every linux distro i've ever used has been /usr/home/ till i saw ubuntu server over ssh on my friend's box
[16:19] <DecemberWolf> joker: have you resolved it or are you still stck with windows?
[16:19] <Kevin^^> Sipior: I remeber you can do a run and check if I got any unneeded packages installed? What's the command for that?
[16:19] <Spliffeh> woah hello
[16:19] <dvsoftwa2e> :(
[16:19] <pisecx> erUSUL: both cpu's do not cpufreq driver
[16:19] <Joker_-_> DecemberWolf: still stuck with it
[16:19] <pisecx> erUSUL: this is the result of your command
[16:19] <pisecx> erUSUL: * do not use
[16:19] <musikgoat|main> ndf: nah, as jrib pointed out with that first link, its more common on gnu/linux's that its at /home
[16:20] <pep> anyone knows where the section "input device" from the xorg.conf is l/join ibmthinkpad
[16:20] <pep> oh désolé
[16:20] <erUSUL> pisecx:  waht cpu?
[16:20] <pisecx> erUSUL: AMD
[16:20] <Joker_-_> pisecx: can you please try "sudo top" then type "1" and "z", copy the whole thing and paste it on nopaste
[16:20] <DecemberWolf> joker: could you please enlighten me as to what you have tried? i have checked the md5 and shouted a lot, im stuck :(
[16:20] <Joker_-_> DecemberWolf: that's a driver issue
[16:20] <sipior> Kevin^^: apt-get autoremove will do that for you.
[16:20] <Joker_-_> DecemberWolf: I think it's related to video card
[16:20] <Spliffeh> can  anyone help me please?:) i have a small question
[16:20] <Quadrescence> (bump) Is it possible to make icons on the desktop (which I presume are handled by Nautilus) to take up a fixed width and height so everything is not all uneven?
[16:21] <DecemberWolf> i got nvidia geforce fx 5200
[16:21] <Mrono> I''m trying to tunnel programs through an ssh, is there a process i can follow or a program like proxifier or sockscap that i can use?
[16:21] <pisecx> Joker_-_: how to copy it?
[16:21] <pisecx> =)
[16:21] <Dr_willis> Quadrescence,  you mean if yoyu hjave 2 or more vertical rows?
[16:21] <naf> When sometimes my mouse pointer jumps all over the place. Anyone know where to look?
[16:21] <pisecx> Joker_-_: when I press z - it just change a color
[16:21] <Joker_-_> pisecx: yeah easyer to read ;)
[16:21] <pisecx> Joker_-_: if I try to use mouse to copy - I just can not do it )
[16:21] <neb_> 'lo all
[16:21] <Spliffeh> i installed ubuntu eee and it has installed a program to copy music cd's along with some updates, whats the name of it in synaptics?
[16:21] <DecemberWolf> joker: how would i sort out the driver? do i need to add it to the iso, if so where?
[16:21] <Joker_-_> pisecx: "1" shows different cpus
[16:22] <Joker_-_> DecemberWolf: I'm stuck there pal
[16:22] <Quadrescence> Dr_willis: Sort of "align to grid" on Windows (I think), or how XFWM manages the desktop (a column has a certain number of icons)
[16:22] <pisecx> Joker_-_: what "z" do?
[16:22] <vladtsepesh1984> hi everibody
[16:22] <musikgoat|main> naf: not saying your problem is the same, but my old work's optical mouses had bad hardware in them tha would make the pointer just jump across the screen without moving the mouse
[16:22] <Joker_-_> pisecx: highlight colors
[16:22] <Joker_-_> pisecx: easyer to read
[16:22] <DecemberWolf> joker: is this a ubuntu thing or a linux thing, i cud always get a dif distro.
[16:22] <Joker_-_> DecemberWolf: think it's aubuntu thing
[16:23] <Dr_willis> Quadrescence,  not sure what you mean then. :) ive gotten away from the habbitof having lots of icons on the desktop.  I do have nice neat colum of icons.. You may want to ask in #gnome they may have some suggestions
[16:23] <musikgoat|main> naf: whats the brand of mouse?
[16:23] <pisecx> Joker_-_: ok. so how can I copy it, when it is always updating? =)
[16:23] <vladtsepesh1984> i need help....is possible to open pdf and ppt in firefox without download it like in windows?
[16:23] <Joker_-_> pisecx: good question, never tryed it
[16:23] <naf> It's pretty new and it did it all the time. I remember once seeing a setting for the mouse driver but I can't remember where.
[16:23] <pisecx> Joker_-_: ))
[16:23] <naf> What's the linux mouse driver manager called?
[16:23] <Joker_-_> pisecx: let me check
[16:23] <pisecx> Joker_-_: that is the reason why I still hasn't done it )
[16:23] <nouMenon> Hello all, does anyone know a quick and easy way to install .pfa fonts or have a link to a guide specifically for installing .pfa fonts in Ubuntu?
[16:23] <Quadrescence> Dr_willis: Well, okay. Thanks. :>
[16:23] <naf> It's microsoft.
[16:23] <JonathanEllis> Anyone noticed a problem with the latest update of Firefox on Hardy. Mine seems to hang as soon as I try to do anything - its only started doing it today and I notice it has been updated today. Coincidence? I will ask in #firefox but just interested if anyone else has had this problem.
[16:24] <Joker_-_> pisecx: top > test.txt
[16:24] <vladtsepesh1984> i need help....is possible to open pdf and ppt in firefox without download it like in windows?
[16:24] <Joker_-_> pisecx: then nopaste test.txt
[16:24] <D--> Olmeca is some good stuff.
[16:24] <musikgoat|main> naf: that would probably be in xorg.conf, you can change the settings, find the model of the mouse, and google it with intrepid and jumping, nad see if there are any hits
[16:24] <erUSUL> naf: in linux Xserver controls the mouse and keyboard
[16:24] <pisecx> Joker_-_: I press d and changed the delay )
[16:24] <Joker_-_> pisecx: gotta ctrl+c it tho
[16:24] <erUSUL> naf: check this http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810#X.Org%20Input%20Devices
[16:24] <D--> These shitty stories I have to edit are finally starting to make sense!
[16:24] <pisecx> Joker_-_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/74393/
[16:24] <marcelo_> Ok, simpler question: Does anyone around also have an incorrect refresh rate in the Monitor Settings dialog?
[16:25] <marcelo_> not correspondent to the one in the modeline in xorg.conf?
[16:25] <vladtsepesh1984> sorry!!!! is anibody here??????
[16:25] <D--> I am.
[16:25] <Joker_-_> pisecx: looks perfectly normal :(
[16:25] <D--> Ease off on the punctuation and restate your question
[16:25] <JonathanEllis> vladtsepesh1984: In windows it still downloads it. But it stores it in a temporary folder without telling you and then displays it in internet explorer. Only problem with this is you end up with many temporary file
[16:25] <musikgoat|main> vladtsepesh1984: have you looked for firefox plugins?
[16:25] <pisecx> Joker_-_: right now temperature is good
[16:26] <pisecx> Joker_-_: "unfortunately"
[16:26] <Joker_-_> pisecx: oh
[16:26] <JonathanEllis> vladtsepesh1984: Hold on while I look for a similar option in firefox
[16:26] <Joker_-_> pisecx: well when it turns hot, do the same thing
[16:26] <Joker_-_> check what's going on
[16:26] <pisecx> Joker_-_: ok, will do
[16:26] <Joker_-_> pisecx: can't say much more that that...
[16:26] <Joker_-_> *than
[16:27] <Trae> I can't seem to get my monitor to go in 1024x768 odd... I used to be able to do 1600x1200 on it.  but now it only does 1280x1024   anyone have any ideas?  ViewSonic A91F+
[16:27] <vladtsepesh1984> JonathanEllis: i dont tink so beacause also in ubuntu firefox let me see ppt files without download it but not with pdf
[16:27] <william> Trae, maybe video card
[16:27] <Trae> this worked with 8.04 Ubuntu  but not 8.10
[16:27] <Trae> william, same card different distro's
[16:27] <Trae> well
[16:28] <Trae> william, same card different versions of ubuntu 8.04 worked 8.10 doesn't
[16:28] <ph8> [15368.912784] Buffer I/O error on device sde1, logical block 81862982
[16:28] <ph8> does this mean dead drive?
[16:28] <D--> ouch. it's past midnight already
[16:28] <musikgoat|main> Trae: xorg has been updated in 8.10, and its probably handling your video card differently, what video card do you have?
[16:28] <Joker_-_> D--: depends on where you consider you are... It's 11:28am here
[16:29] <Joker_-_> D--: just say you've been to gmt-5 yesterday and thats why you're still awake.
[16:29] <Trae> musikgoat|main, hmm sec

[16:31] <Trae> musikgoat|main, sec bud let me see
[16:31] <Kevin^^> musicgoat|main: Thanks alot, so the guide for 8.04 is the same as for 8.10 - Just thinking of newer versions of the packages installed?
[16:31] <jun_> i ran a memtest and a DIMM was detected in only channels 1 and 3 - not 6
[16:31] <jun_> sorry, 5
[16:31] <der0b> Hi all, I'm using find, "find . -type d", all of the results have a leading "./" (i.e. ./Desktop).  Is there a way to have find output the directory name without the ./?
[16:31] <Joker_-_> jun_: well, you found your problem
[16:31] <jun_> the motherboard is damaged?
[16:31] <vladtsepesh1984> JonathanEllis: have you found something?
[16:31] <Trae> musikgoat|main, I have 177 (recommended enabled) not 173
[16:31] <musikgoat|main> Kevin^^: looking it over
[16:32] <Trae> oh
[16:32] <jun_> does linux support triple channel memory?
[16:32] <Joker_-_> jun_: I'd say read your mb manual to see if there is something about that
[16:32] <Trae> musikgoat|main, should I switch back to 173?
[16:32] <Joker_-_> jun_: try an other slot
[16:32] <musikgoat|main> Trae: try the 173
[16:32] <Kevin^^> musikgoat|main: Thanks tell me if it's outdated
[16:32] <Trae> musikgoat|main, kk thanks man for your time.
[16:32] <zrak> does someone know a list of fijustu laptops supported by ubuntu
[16:32] <zrak> ??
[16:32] <Joker_-_> jun_: maybe the dimm slot or the memory itself is dead
[16:33] <DecemberWolf> joker: did you try adding the vga=xxx line to the install?
[16:33] <jun_> i don't think it's the memory - i swapped the dimms around
[16:33] <Joker_-_> DecemberWolf: npe, it's said to work?
[16:33] <Joker_-_> jun_: and does the bios sees the ram?
[16:33] <pisecx> One more question, please. One man, not me, was installing ubuntu on his job. He has set proxy server. Now he is at home. He has turned it off via menu. System - Preferences - Proxy, but seems like it is still working, so he can not connect to internet.
[16:34] <jun_> i'm not sure
[16:34] <Dr_willis> der0b,  check the find man pages and examples online.. its possible theres an option for that.
[16:34] <jun_> i'm using a gigabyte mobo. couldn't find a screen for memory
[16:34] <der0b> dr_willis, couldn't find anyting (man pages, google) so I stopped here
[16:34] <Joker_-_> jun_: at boot, u are supposed to see things... one of these is a ram total
[16:34] <ronald911> HEllo.... How can I uninstall Ubuntu through windows, as the ADD AND REMOVE uninstall dont work??
[16:34] <Joker_-_> jun_: unless you have a boot screen that only shows a big useless picture
[16:35] <alesan> re
[16:35] <jun_> yeah, i just get a splash screen
[16:35] <alesan> I have a annoying bug here; when I "lock" the screen, it will not ask me for a password to unlock it
[16:35] <Joker_-_> jun_: in that case you'd have to configure your bios not to show that splash
[16:36] <alesan> so if I simply move the mouse or press a key I will get the screen back, wich is not very secure
[16:36] <DecemberWolf> joker: am trying it now, will let you know :D
[16:36] <Joker_-_> jun_: I think you can "escape" that screen, or at least enter bios with "del"
[16:36] <DecemberWolf> joker: wish me luck!
[16:36] <Joker_-_> DecemberWolf: good luck ;)
[16:36] <jun_> ok, i'll try that
[16:36] <jun_> thanks for the help
[16:36] <musikgoat|main> Kevin^^: yes,  tasksel is the best and easiest approach
[16:36] <v4vijayakumar> are there any amd64 distribution of skype..?? (when I tried to install skype (skype-debian_<IP_ADDRESS>-1_i386.deb), I got the error wrong archetecture "i386")
[16:36] <Joker_-_> jun_: in your bios you should have a screen that shows informations on your system
[16:36] <musikgoat|main> sudo tasksel install lamp-server
[16:36] <musikgoat|main> Kevin^^: ^^
[16:37] <Joker_-_> jun_: you should see the amount of ram detected
[16:37] <jun_> i'll look again
[16:37] <Joker_-_> jun_: if bios doesnt see the ram, nothing will
[16:37] <hejdixon> Hi all! I have ssh access to a server I am administrator for. When I run the command "ps aux" is it normal to have several instances of "apache2 -k start" running?
[16:39] <Joker_-_> hejdixon: I dont know if it is that normal, but if I type "ps -aux | grep apache" I get a few lines aswell...
[16:39] <sipior> hejdixon: it is fairly normal, yes
[16:39] <savid> Hi, my laptop has an Intel GM965/GL960 graphics chipset,  and when I upgraded to Intrepid,   XGL stopped working.   How can I troubleshoot this?
[16:39] <hejdixon> sipior: why is that? is it one per visitor on my server or what?
[16:39] <musikgoat|main> Kevin^^: and if the default LAMP install doesn't install phpmyadmin or mysql-admin,  i suggest installing one of those, as they make you management of mysql much easier: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP#Phpmyadmin%20and%20mysql-admin
[16:40] <pisecx> Joker_-_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/74400/
[16:40] <pisecx> Joker_-_: apache tomcat + idea
[16:40] <pisecx> Joker_-_: 90 degree
[16:40] <musikgoat|main> hejdixon: apache by default spawns multiple instances, you can control that by configuring apache2, you can ask more about it in #apache
[16:41] <pisecx> Joker_-_: the same on windows + a lot of other software = 60 degree
[16:41] <hejdixon> musikgoat|main: okey, thanks
[16:41] <pisecx> Joker_-_: laptop is hot
[16:41] <Joker_-_> pisecx: windows idles a lot, linux doesnt
[16:41] <savid> How can I tell whether or not XGL is currently enabled?

[16:41] <pisecx> Joker_-_: is it possible to change this behaviour?
[16:42] <Joker_-_> pisecx: I'd look in "nice"
[16:42] <Joker_-_> pisecx: it's a laptop?
[16:42] <pisecx> Joker_-_: yep, dell inspiron 1501
[16:42] <william> what do you mean idles?
[16:42] <Joker_-_> pisecx: is buying a thing with fans that goes under it something you could think of?
[16:42] <Joker_-_> william: windows has lots of idle cycles... wasted cycles
[16:43] <Joker_-_> william: I've seen boosted config work in windows and crash on linux... not because linux is more unstable, but because of overheating... Linux doesnt have wasted cycles
[16:43] <Joker_-_> or at least, less
[16:43] <v4vijayakumar> are there any amd64 distribution of skype..??  couldn't find skype in synaptic package manager too (when I tried to install skype (skype-debian_<IP_ADDRESS>-1_i386.deb), I got the error wrong archetecture "i386")
[16:44] <DecemberWolf> joker: i got the black screen of death again :(
[16:44] <william> its an entirely diff file setup isnt it
[16:44] <JonathanEllis> vladtsepesh1984: Sorry. Had to answer the phone. Give me a few more minutes
[16:44] <musikgoat|main> v4vijayakumar: doesn't seem so
[16:44] <Joker_-_> william: if you remember winmodems, they used some wasted cycles to work so you couldnt notice they where actually using CPU... in linux you could see it as cycles werent wasted
[16:44] <Joker_-_> DecemberWolf: :(
[16:44] <pisecx> Joker_-_: thing with fans? =)
[16:44] <Joker_-_> pisecx: yeah
[16:44] <pisecx> Joker_-_: what is it?
[16:45] <Joker_-_> pisecx: your problem is hardware...
[16:45] <musikgoat|main> pisecx: a cooling pad, i've got one for my laptop
[16:45] <william> microsoft modems?
[16:45] <musikgoat|main> pisecx: targus makes some, as well as other companies
[16:45] <Joker_-_> pisecx: well it's somekind of a base on wich you put your laptop
[16:45] <pisecx> musikgoat|main: hm
[16:45] <pisecx> Joker_-_: I see no
[16:45] <pisecx> now
[16:45] <Joker_-_> pisecx: your laptop overheat....
[16:45] <pisecx> Joker_-_: probably
[16:45]  * shinoj waves
[16:45] <pisecx> Joker_-_: but on windows everything is ok )
[16:45] <pisecx> Joker_-_: but I don't want windows )
[16:45] <JonathanEllis> vladtsepesh1984: I can view pdfs in a tab in Firefox or save them - I have the choice but on mine I think it loads them into a tab by default. Give me a minute or two to look into it
[16:45] <Joker_-_> pisecx: it doesnt in windows probably because of wasted cycles... windows is easyer on hardware.
[16:46] <v4vijayakumar>
[16:46] <v4vijayakumar> oops, sorry..
[16:46] <Joker_-_> pisecx: if you had gentoo, you couldnt even install I bet

[16:46] <cub> Hello... I seem to have given myself a huge problem, and I disparately need help. After trying out and enjoying the global menu applet for a little while, I now want to go back to my default Ubuntu menu. I'm no longer using the global menu, but when trying to use something such as Totem or my file browser, no menu appears. I have tried about a hundred ways to get rid of the global menu, from apt-get remove to "sudo apt-get clean
[16:46] <cub> && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install --reinstall -y libgtk2.0-0", and nothing seems to get rid of it. So right now, I have no menus, and that is not good. Does anybody know a way to get rid of the global menu gtk-hack?

[16:47] <the_wise1> i need help with packet sniffer
[16:47] <hejdixon> I think my server is performing bad, in relation to the work load. Do someone have any tips on how I can make a quick overview on what may taking all the resources?
[16:47] <Joker_-_> pisecx: buy something to get your laptop fresher. I think it's worth somewhere between 30$ and 70$
[16:47] <Joker_-_> pisecx: of course, the laptop has a problem, but I doubt dell will support you with that
[16:47] <pisecx> Joker_-_: but I like laptop, because I can use it anywhere =)
[16:47] <v4vijayakumar> thanks musikgoat|main, I will look into that..
[16:47] <erUSUL> hejdixon: "top" or "htop" for a start
[16:48] <Joker_-_> pisecx: I understand, but I dont see what else to do.
[16:48] <Joker_-_> pisecx: try some other distros, but it should do the same...
[16:48] <pisecx> Joker_-_: ok, I see
[16:48] <AzizLight> hi everybody
[16:48] <pisecx> Joker_-_: I don't want other distr )
[16:48] <N-A> I've got problem related to NTFS & VMWare player, i've got an NTFS partition where I've got a virtual machine folder. I load this VM with the player, which "works" but there are serious performance issues, CPU usage goes to 100% and the VM freezes completely, every few minuttes/seconds. The problem goes away if I copy the VM to my ext3 partition. Any and all help appreciated.
[16:48] <Joker_-_> pisecx: does it do the same from live CD?
[16:48] <AzizLight> is there a way to make some apps appear only in certain virtual desktop and not in others?
[16:49] <pisecx> Joker_-_: i don't have apache on my live cd )
[16:49] <erUSUL> N-A: well you have to keep in mind that linux usas a *userspace* driver to access ntfs partitions.
[16:49] <pisecx> Joker_-_: I mean tomcat apache + idea + other java software
[16:49] <Joker_-_> pisecx: I understand but it shouldnt be "apache" related but more likely to be cpu-usage related
[16:50] <Dewni> Can I ask anyone about setting up a 8.10 server with RAID?
[16:50] <Joker_-_> pisecx: you could try to bench your laptop with a live CD
[16:50] <jumcore> hello, ive installed the 8.11 ati drivers from ati.com, but i still have no direct rendering. whtas the problem?
[16:50] <musikgoat|main> !ask | Dewni
[16:50] <Joker_-_> pisecx: get your cpu usage to 100% for about 10 minutes and see if temp goes really high
[16:50] <N-A> erUSUL: Sure, but it looks like a complete deadlock, I get that there will be _some_ performance loss, but a complete freeze for upto 5 minuttes?
[16:50] <erUSUL> N-A: the performance for copying/reading some files (what it was designed for) is ok but for being the filesystem holding vm hd images....
[16:50] <Joker_-_> pisecx: it should overheat and shutdown
[16:50] <hejdixon> erUSUL: thanks! is 1 running, and 22 sleeping tasks normal?
[16:50] <keystr0k> is there a "diff" tool that I can just feed to chunks of text and have it generate the "patch" code?
[16:50] <Joker_-_> pisecx: if not, then it might be a config problem, but I dont see what and how.
[16:50] <musikgoat|main> hejdixon: yes
[16:50] <erUSUL> hejdixon: yes
[16:51] <pisecx> Joker_-_: ok, will do a benchmark =)
[16:51] <keystr0k> sorry, wrong channel
[16:51] <Joker_-_> pisecx: not in windows
[16:51] <Joker_-_> dang...
[16:51] <erUSUL> keystr0k: man diff
[16:51] <Dr_willis> keystr0k,  diff can do that. :)

[16:52] <Dewni> TY. I just received a nice numbercrusher for my bioinformatics work. I want it to run raid with the aic94xx kernel module. Installing goes nicely, but when I want to boot after install, the firmware cannot be found. Should I make a different /boot partition?

[16:52] <benzss> is ati support still rubbish?
[16:53] <mib_3vsy3oi9> joining to a Windows domain
[16:53] <erUSUL> Dewni: maybe you need to configure update the initramfs ?
[16:53] <hejdixon> If a server runs slow, I would see that on the CPU and/or mem usage, right?
[16:53] <JonathanEllis> vladtsepesh1984: Just a thought. Do you have acrobat reader installed?

[16:55] <LF|Irssi> it is
[16:55] <mfdavid> hi all.
[16:55] <musikgoat|main> william: i think its mainly due to the new X, imo
[16:56] <cub> Does anybody here know how to get rid of global menu? Anybody at all?
[16:56] <william> new X?
[16:56] <Dr_willis> cub,  'global' menu ?
[16:57] <mfdavid> I updated my ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10.. a few errors appered during upgrade, like "can´t uninstall this and thaT'.... now when I try to boot my noteboot I get an "Error 15: file not found"... recovery mode is not working eaither... damm
[16:57] <govinda> wireless 3945abg doesn't work too
[16:57] <erUSUL> mfdavid: the error is from grub?
[16:57] <william> my wireless BC is wworking
[16:57] <cub> The global menu applite. It acts like the menu in mac.  Looks like it cant find the kernel... and looks like ubuntu did not updated my kernel list.
[16:58] <hejdixon> If a server runs slow, I would see that on the CPU and/or mem usage, right?
[16:59] <erUSUL> mfdavid: you can check from a livecd if the kernel is installed and what /boot/grub/menu.lst looks like
[16:59] <Dewni> erUSUL: With a good chance of sounding stupid. So I do the next things: build a raid1 in bios, the install and rebuild the initramfs to get directly into my raid. No need for a separate /boot? I guess I need to do that at install time, otherwise I cannot reach the raid after.
[16:59] <Dr_willis> cub,  if you added an applet to the panel you can right click to remove it..  Unless you ar referging to some other  'global menu'
[16:59] <erUSUL> hejdixon: well there is th I/O too disk performance is important too
[17:00] <mfdavid> erUSUL: yeah.. ill do it later... no live cd right now... i really needed this notebook today :( /me thinking about moving back to debian testing..
[17:00] <hejdixon> erUSUL: where/how can I get a overview of that?
[17:00] <javaJake> hejdixon: it's a GUI application, but I know gkrellm has an I/O monitor
[17:00] <erUSUL> Dewni: no; what i was thinking is just put the module name of the raid driver on the file and rebuild the initramfs. hopefully that way the firmwware is included on the ramfs and the machine can boot
[17:01] <Myrtti> shinoj: please join #ubuntu-ops
[17:01] <erUSUL> Dewni: maybe you can do that chrooting to the install from a livecd (if you can access the raid from a livecd)
[17:01] <N-A> erUSUL: So a 5 minute+ freeze every couple of minutes/seconds is to be expected from using ntfs on linux? Also in spite of following affirmation from ntfs-3g.org: When will be the driver ported to the kernel?  When it becomes clear that a huge, complex, feature rich and general purpose  file system can not be as reliable and well-performing in hybrid space as purely in the kernel. At the moment there are no such strong indications. In fact, more and more experie
[17:02] <cub> This should explain what I'm talking about: http://code.google.com/p/gnome2-globalmenu/ (Yes, I was dumb and ignored the warning.)
[17:02] <Dewni> erUSUL: Thanks a lot. I'll give that a try. I guess I did something wrong because I tried with openSUSE as well, which gave exactly the same issue.
[17:02] <shinoj> Myrtti: what is it?
[17:02] <Myrtti> shinoj: type /join #ubuntu-ops
[17:02] <erUSUL> N-A: i do not know where the freeze comes maybe it is a kernel bug... do you see anyting in the logs ??
[17:03] <ikonia> !away >Arch3Angel_Away
[17:03] <cub> The problem is that even after I remove it from the panel, apps sure a Totem still don't give me a menu bar.
[17:03] <cub> *such
[17:03] <shinoj> Myrtti: yes joined, now what
[17:03] <erUSUL> N-A: but apart from that if you are using linux you should use linux native filesystems... unlike in windows you have plenty of them to choose from. no need to use a userspace; beta quality only meant for desktop use one
[17:04] <Dewni> ! boot
[17:04] <N-A> erUSUL: I'm a linux noob (first install yesterday), I looked at the logs indicated on ntfs-3g.org (/var/log/messages, /var/log/messages.log,         /var/log/syslog, and the /var/log/daemon.log) but couldn't find anything that looked out of the ordinary searching for ntfs. just messages when mounting detailing the mount options.
[17:04] <tCzern_tux> hi, do you guys have eth1394 installed by default or is it an option in your package manager?
[17:05] <Ging> ew firewire
[17:05] <Dr_willis> tCzern_tux,  last i looked it was installed by default. but blacklisted.
[17:05] <Dr_willis> tCzern_tux,  so it did not auto-load
[17:05] <chills> hey guys i jus installed ubuntu 8.10.  i have a webcam m6219 any idea how i could make it work
[17:05] <tCzern_tux> it's blacklisted? for what reason?
[17:06] <N-A> erUSUL: Sure, but there's a specific need to have the files in question on an ntfs partition, because windows does not support ext3 (that I know of) and the VM I need to (at least for the time being) get at from both linux and windows
[17:06] <Dewni> tCzern_tux: Check whether you can see it in lspci | grep 1394 and lsmod | grep 1394
[17:06] <Dr_willis> tCzern_tux,  because most people dont need an extra eth## device for tehir firewire cards

[17:17] <bmac2> works great
[17:17] <Dr_willis> N-A,  if your video card supports it- i belive its enabled by default.
[17:17] <bmac2> where did the config file for the eth0 get moved?
[17:17] <s0l1dsnak3123> N-A, press Print Screen on your keyboard, open it up and save it as a JPG,then go to imageshack and upload it.
[17:17] <bmac2> it is no longer where it was in 8.04

[17:21] <k0de> I want contact information
[17:21] <creative> how can i make cable network connection between ubuntu and windows ?
[17:21] <positiveover> can anyone help me?
[17:22] <wilsonnck> positiveover: for my zen I use gnomad2 http://gnomad2.sourceforge.net/
[17:22] <Dr_willis> creative,  clarify to the channel what you mean by 'cable network connection'
[17:22] <wilsonnck> should be in the repositories
[17:22] <uhsf> i guess i'll use xfce-terminal, at least it can do full utf-8, compared to semi utf-8 urxvt.
[17:22] <jedimind> Dr_willis: probably means crossover
[17:22] <Joker_-_> creative: the question doesnt make sence. Physically, a network is made with a network cable and a hub / switch (sometimes included in a router)
[17:22] <jedimind> Joker_-_: can always use a crossover cable and not need a router
[17:22] <positiveover> thx wilsonnck
[17:23] <jedimind> or swtich
[17:23] <creative> i dont have a router
[17:23] <jedimind> which is what i think he's asking
[17:23] <wilsonnck> positiveover: no problem
[17:23] <Dr_willis> and static ip's :) but its easier toisntall a dhcp server on one machine
[17:23] <N-A> s0l1dsnak3123: http://img220.imageshack.us/my.php?image=skrmbilledeqg4.png
[17:23] <creative> just point2point
[17:23] <Joker_-_> jedimind: oh.
[17:23] <Joker_-_> creative: a hub costs about... 10$, just so you know.
[17:23] <Joker_-_> creative: for a x-over cable, you'll have to setup manuelly IPs
[17:23] <jedimind> he could be in the middle of africa for all you know, hard to find a wallmart down there :)
[17:23] <nicku> Joker_-_: auto mdi ports and you can just use normal cable
[17:23] <k0de> I want to be able to do whois lookups from the command line. Any thoughts on the best way to do this?
[17:24] <creative> how ?
[17:24] <Joker_-_> creative: unix: ifconfig
[17:24] <jedimind> creative: you need a cross over cable, set up manual IPs on each computer with the same subnet, setup file sharing on either or both of them, and bob's your uncle
[17:24] <nicku> though makin a crossover cable isn't very hard
[17:24] <Nece228> why xorg in ubuntu 8.10 uses too much cpu?
[17:24] <md22> finally xfi sound card works great in ubuntu
[17:24] <jedimind> nicku: yeah its simple
[17:24] <Joker_-_> creative: windows: network, select the connection, set the Ip manually... youll have to google on that
[17:24] <Joker_-_> creative: thats almost easy.
[17:24] <Joker_-_> creative: still, a hub is about 10$
[17:25] <jedimind> Joker_-_: not in africa :)
[17:25] <Framboisier> !fr
[17:25] <Joker_-_> jedimind: 5$ he isnt in africa
[17:25] <jedimind> no but he's in hungary
[17:25] <jedimind> same thing
[17:25] <jedimind> :)
[17:25] <Joker_-_> jedimind: ding ding ding
[17:26] <N-A> My windows captions/top decorations are getting mutilated consistently: http://img220.imageshack.us/my.php?image=skrmbilledeqg4.png any ideas?
[17:26] <k0de> I want to be able to do whois lookups from the command line. Any thoughts on the best way to do this?
[17:26] <Joker_-_> creative: i'd strongly suggest you to get a router do the work for you, unless you work for less than 40$ an hour.
[17:27] <Joker_-_> k0de: tracert?
[17:27] <creative> i have wireless router, but i would like to use 2 gigabit interfaces between them
[17:27] <wilsonnck> k0de: try whois at the commandline, it should be in the repositiories
[17:27] <pumpkin> why does the package libstdc++6-4.3-dev no longer contain the file new.h and can i copy it over from the older package?
[17:27] <Joker_-_> k0de: nah thats trace... whois lookups...  Any thoughts on the best way to do this?
[17:28] <Joker_-_> k0de: someone told you
[17:29] <Joker_-_> 12:24 < wilsonnck> k0de: try whois at the commandline, it should be in the repositiories
[17:29] <Joker_-_> k0de: apt-cache search whois
[17:29] <lasivian> heya, I need a bit of command-line help
[17:29] <k0de> wilsonnck it's not installed
[17:29] <k0de> ok
[17:29] <lasivian> i'm trying to do a find-and-replace globally, but I need it absolute
[17:29] <wilsonnck> k0de: sudo apt-get install whois
[17:29] <k0de> wilsonnck nope it's gnome-nettools apparently
[17:30] <Joker_-_> creative: I still suggest you to use the router instead of direct connection, unless you are willing to learn howto by yourself.
