[18:01] <topspeed> hey..is it me or are the ubuntu servers right now REALLY bussy..
[18:01] <topspeed> my update transfer rate is SLOW!
[18:01] <arrrghhh> topspeed, i don't even use 'em.  i use xmission.  i recommend using whatever tests fastest for you.
[18:01] <ActionParsnip> topspeed: fine here
[18:01] <topspeed> 11 or 20 kb MAX
[18:01] <LordHawke13> OMG people.  The one that no longer exists.
[18:02] <pinoyskull> i have an nvidia GeForce 8400M GS and i cant get my resolution to go beyond 1280x800, any ideas?
[18:02] <sidewalk> wops, sorry wrong chan
[18:02] <LordHawke13> 9.01
[18:02] <valdu55> When i have connected 10* and 192* then IPTV is streaming and network is not usable
[18:02] <topspeed> ActionParsnip, umm.. installing anything from ubuntu is REALLY slow. like update, software.. but downloading from firefox is fine
[18:02] <BoredKender> LordHawke13, define "screwed up"
[18:02] <fahadsadah> arrrghhh: lsmod output, please?
[18:03] <usser_> LordHawke13, install grub2
[18:03] <LordHawke13> I must've clicked on something I shouldn't have. . .
[18:03] <n00b_> Pasted at: http://www.pastie.org/698792
[18:03] <tin_345> bump,  any way to determine which program is intercepting key bind?
[18:03] <valdu55> Is routing a right solution?
[18:03] <LordHawke13> I don't know how! The OS can't load now!!
[18:03] <valdu55> Or need change metric?
[18:03] <Diwcha> hey guyz
[18:03] <topspeed> ActionParsnip, downloading.. i mean from other server, my bittorrent is fine too..but not the ubuntu update -- anything from ubuntu server
[18:03] <LordHawke13> Error 15: File not found.
[18:03] <Diwcha> i have a question
[18:03] <usser_> LordHawke13, load from a livecd, chroot into your installation and install it
[18:03] <Tartaros> topspeed: try changing the download server for apt-get
[18:03] <ActionParsnip> pinoyskull: run: gksudo nvidia-settings   set the res to anything and click "save to X config file" then run: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf   and change the resolution to what you wish, save the file and restart X
[18:03] <n00b_> ActionParsnip: Pasted at http://www.pastie.org/698792 .. (thanks).
[18:03] <thiebaude> pinoyskull, did you install the drivers
[18:04] <LordHawke13> brb
[18:04] <usser_> LordHawke13, or at a grub screen try selecting newer kernel
[18:04] <usser_> LordHawke13, it should be listed there still
[18:04] <pinoyskull> thiebaude, yep, from hardware drivers (restricted)
[18:04] <topspeed> Tartaros, how do i chane my download server ?
[18:04] <ActionParsnip> n00b_: great. Thanks :). looks ok can you do the same with: sudo apt-get upgrade
[18:04] <thiebaude> pinoyskull, ActionParsnip  got it
[18:04] <n00b_> 1 sec
[18:05] <arrrghhh> fahadsadah, lsmod: http://pastebin.com/d1de9cb66
[18:05] <Tartaros> topspeed: System -> Software Sources - "Download from"
[18:05] <thiebaude> i had to edit my xorg.conf for the save to X configuration
[18:05] <topspeed> cool
[18:05] <ActionParsnip> pinoyskull: thiebaude: also gives you a very useful xorg.conf again :)
[18:05] <topspeed> let me hceck
[18:05] <LordHawke13> usser_, That's what I want to know how to do.
[18:05] <thiebaude> ActionParsnip, yep, mine is up to date
[18:05] <pinoyskull> thiebaude:  you'
[18:05] <LordHawke13> I don't know how to tell it to load 9.10 instead of 9.04
[18:05] <fahadsadah> arrrghhh: Is this a macbook, by any chance?
[18:05] <fahadsadah> They use your wireless card.
[18:05] <pinoyskull> thiebaude:  you're using nvidia too?
[18:06] <arrrghhh> fahadsadah, good god no... but not much better, a dell studio lappy.
[18:06] <thiebaude> pinoyskull, yes 8400 gs with 512mb video ram
[18:06] <LordHawke13> How do I select the 9.10 kernel at the GRUB screen?
[18:06] <topspeed> Tartaros, nopes.. i changed it to main server -- same crappy speed --11kb/s to 7000b/s
[18:06] <ermenegildo> ActionParsnip near the id there is the name of scanner or root hub ?
[18:06] <ActionParsnip> pinoyskull: i have to do it that way as my CRT monitor doesnt report refresh rates so I have to populate the file before the driver will load
[18:06] <pinoyskull> thiebaude:  can i take a look at your xorg.conf
[18:06] <coreyman> I downloaded http://releases.ubuntu.com/hardy/ server install x86 and the dang cd will not boot, i've burned 5 discs now... why isn't this booting.
[18:06] <Tartaros> topspeed: try a few other ones too then...
[18:06] <pinoyskull> ActionParsnip:  thiebaude forgot to tell you im using vostro 1500
[18:07] <topspeed> ooh dman.this is slow.i think the ubuntu server are REALLY busy right now
[18:07] <n00b_> ActionParsnip: http://www.pastie.org/698798 .. here is it ... thanks again.
[18:07] <ActionParsnip> ermenegildo: use http://pastebin.com   to give the output please
[18:07] <LordHawke13> usser_, How would I change to kernel at the GRUB menu?
[18:07] <topspeed> thats why im not gettin any speed
[18:07] <ermenegildo> ok :-)
[18:07] <Dsgn> Tartaros: topspeed: could it be the ipv6 bug of karmic?
[18:07] <thiebaude> ActionParsnip, i had to add under the Screen section, Device "Default Device" in xorg.conf
[18:07] <Dsgn> i too have slow internets
[18:07] <Tartaros> Dsgn: huh?
[18:07] <arrrghhh> fahadsadah, yea, my gf is not happy.  i can never leave well enough alone!  blargh.  i guess i'll go back to 9.04, i don't know.
[18:08] <Tartaros> well I don't, and what bug? :)
[18:08] <ActionParsnip> n00b_: is it any better if you run it as you user, rather than root (shouldnt make a difference but is worth exploring)
[18:08] <fahadsadah> arrrghhh: http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php is the correct driver for your chip
[18:08] <fahadsadah> Turns out it used to be supported, isn't any more.
[18:08] <pinoyskull> thiebaude:  can i take a look at your xorg?
[18:08] <n00b_> I tried it both ways..
[18:08] <fahadsadah> Driver change or some other such stupidity.
[18:08] <n00b_> same result....
[18:08] <ActionParsnip> thiebaude: very annoying that karmic doesnt have one by default but my ubuntu setu script copies one in from my backups :)
[18:08] <thiebaude> pinoyskull, yes
[18:08] <arrrghhh> fahadsadah, crap.  how do i install that?  i'm guessing it must be compiled.
[18:08] <n00b_> ActionParsnip: I tried it both ways... the results are some.
[18:08] <topspeed> Dsgn, don't know about the bug but i get normal download from firefox
[18:08] <ActionParsnip> n00b_: i'd say go for it but  log a bug
[18:08] <thiebaude> ActionParsnip, it was a parser error before
[18:09] <thiebaude> !pastebin
[18:09] <topspeed> Dsgn, but tryin to update, synaptic or any of that..11 kb MAX
[18:09] <n00b_> :( :(
[18:09] <fahadsadah> arrrghhh: Oh, nevermind, there's an even better solution.
[18:09] <thiebaude> pinoyskull, 1 sec
[18:09] <fahadsadah> Do you have an alternate wireless connection?
[18:09] <arrrghhh> fahadsadah, ?
[18:09] <pinoyskull> thiebaude:  ok
[18:09] <topspeed> HEY--- it worked..changin the server DID help
[18:09] <arrrghhh> fahadsadah, not sure what you mean... like a usb wifi card?
[18:09] <fahadsadah> As soon as it's connected to the internet, it will detect it needs that, and download it.
[18:09] <fahadsadah> Catch-22
[18:09] <topspeed> thanx Tartaros !
[18:09] <topspeed> but still not gettin maxed out
[18:09] <benc1> any suggestions about daemontools vs monit or other options for running daemons?
[18:09] <topspeed> YEAH
[18:10] <arrrghhh> fahadsadah, sweet.  that's why i was hoping the wired cxn would save me... it's very disturbing that failed.  i've NEVER had that fail.
[18:10] <sidewalk> the Login Screen in Ubuntu used to contain a setting to control who could login remotely using GDM or not..... how is that configured now since 9.10?
[18:10] <tv7497> guys i was installing the cloud cluster using taskel ... well the installation was not completed  properly is there a way for me to re-install suing taskel  ?
[18:10] <topspeed> it worked THANKS
[18:10] <topspeed> im done here
[18:10] <Tartaros> nice :)

[18:13] <ermenegildo> :-)
[18:13] <ActionParsnip> ermenegildo: what make/model is it?
[18:14] <Xacarith> I hope this will be an easy fix.  Recently my HDD had some troubles and some repairs where made to the filing system.

[18:21] <arrrghhh> fahadsadah, i'm going to try to update, reboot and activate the driver again.  i've been having way too many driver issues with ubuntu.  i never thought i'd say this, but drivers are actually easier in win7 now.  i haven't had to install a single driver on any machine i've thrown 7 on, except for graphics drivers (only if the user wants advanced control of the card, that is.)

[18:22] <davidkarr_> I've been struggling for the last few weeks with my new 9.10 installation (intel graphics) freezing, requiring reboot, after about 20 minutes, every single time. Only the mouse pointer moves when it freezes, nothing else responds. I've tried installing the latest xorg PPA and driver. I investigated turning on kernel modesetting (becaus someone suggested it), but it appears my kernel version has it enabled by default. I'm a
[18:22] <davidkarr_> bout to give up on this, perhaps replacing the intel graphics card with an nvidia card, but I don't know what else to try.
[18:22] <evon> ActionParsnip: i've downloaded it already. I just haven't installed it yet. Just wondering if there were any known issues or concerns. are there advantages or disadvantages?

I currently plan to remove linux, reset windows, then partition my laptop harddrive into 4 (250 gb hdd) 1 for vista, 1 for windows 7, 1 for ubuntu, and one for swapping files between the 3
[18:25] <evon> ActionParsnip: ok cool thanks

[18:26] <FuzzyFox0> ActionParsnip: right, I was after a plan of attack for the whole thing
[18:26] <fcuk112> FuzzyFox0: why do you still need vista when you have 7?
[18:26] <ActionParsnip> FuzzyFox0: why do yuo want vista and 7
[18:26] <ermenegildo> ActionParsnip i dont understand the term though :-)
[18:26] <ActionParsnip> seems a bit excessive, and expensive

[18:29] <Araneidae> trism, I think you're right.  I'd forgotten that k was the key though.

[18:30] <Araneidae> Damn, I see I've still got the Xorg memory leak in this release :(
[18:30] <FuzzyFox0> correction the college gave  a free copy of win 7 as I am a computing student, and win vista was pre installed
[18:30] <mgv> why i cant have internet on guest? do i firstly need to disconnect?
[18:30] <Araneidae> Sigh
[18:30] <FuzzyFox0> ActionParsnip: ^^
[18:30] <ActionParsnip> ermenegildo: is it powered on? 2nd ask
[18:30] <DanaG> maybe... http://sourceforge.net/projects/quickstart/
[18:31] <ActionParsnip> ermenegildo: if you dont start using words to reply I will simply not help you
[18:31] <DanaG> SAK tends to hard-lock things.... at least ZAP is elegant.
[18:31] <DanaG> Compare turning off a printer by pushing the power button, versus just unplugging it.
[18:31] <ermenegildo> ActionParsnip thje scanner is insert to tower and printer
[18:31] <DanaG> If you do the latter, it can cause things like ink drying out.

[18:34] <DanaG> Hmm, it's best to find a PPA with the driver, instead.
[18:34] <DanaG> What version?
[18:34] <SteelDragon> 9.04
[18:34] <rcmaehl_linux> You guys really need a ubuntu spanish channel
[18:34] <DanaG> NVIDIA version, I mean.

[18:36] <DanaG> That's for 185 and 190.  If you need legacy instead, then you'll be forced to do the .run method.
[18:37] <ermenegildo> ActionParsnip what is np man
[18:37] <ubuntu> Please people, I need help! I was moving my 210GB partition to left and the energy down. What I have to do now?

[18:37] <ermenegildo> ActionParsnip :-)
[18:37] <BT> Is there a "log" for stuff that happens in rc.local at bootup? I'm trying to start vnc4server with Ubuntu, works fine if I ssh in and run "vnc4server"... but when I put that in rc.local it just doesn't start.
[18:37] <SteelDragon> DanaG: thanx.  All I could get was the 180 in ver 9.04
[18:37] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu: restore from backup
[18:38] <ubuntu> ubuntu: i dont have backup.
[18:38] <DanaG> oh, the add-apt-repository command is for karmic; in jaunty, you need to do the old-way of adding repos.
[18:38] <ubuntu> ActionParsnip: i dont have backup.
[18:38] <kuba32> hi all
[18:38] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu: dont you think you should have one, or at least backed up before messing with partitions?
[18:39] <jarle> There seems to be something very wrong with the nvidia drivers in 9.10, cann't seem to get X to load any of the nvidia drivers..

[18:39] <jhb1608> How do I scan the pic through GIMP instead of XSANE?
[18:39] <help1> is there any command for apt-get install (gui ore something)
[18:40] <Kevin`> I has a problem with linux: http://pastebin.ca/1671362 - this happens when I try to start wireshark. system is non-responsive including sysrq
[18:40] <DanaG> jarle: try testdisk, perhaps... it may be able to help
[18:40] <ActionParsnip> jhb1608: file -> acquire
[18:40] <jhb1608> None is avaliable
[18:40] <jhb1608> I'm on Ubuntu 9.04
[18:40] <jarle> DanaG: testdisk?
[18:40] <jhb1608> xsane works fine, but none of the option I want in GIMP.
[18:40] <DanaG> it's in the repos, and you can find a how-to here: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk
[18:40] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu: not sure ive never messed with partitions but you may have to use foremost and an extra partition to spit recovered data to. Why you didnt backup first is completely perplexing
[18:41] <ActionParsnip> jhb1608: strange, i thought gimp could
[18:41] <Kevin`> heeelp :)
[18:41] <krZy> holy cow.. 1642 nicks
[18:41] <jhb1608> Nope only in Windows, silly.
[18:41] <jhb1608> not in Linux
[18:41] <jhb1608> look carefully.

[18:41] <jhb1608> I have HP
[18:41] <penguin42> Kevin: Are you sure that happens on wireshark start? It's a mess but most of the stuff seems related to either CDROM or USB
[18:42] <jarle> jhb1608: there is a sane plugin for gimp...
[18:42] <jhb1608> I already installed HPLIP
[18:42] <Kevin`> penguin42: well that's what triggers it
[18:42] <Riotta> hello I would like to make update-manager in Ubuntu 9.10 to inform me on ALL updates not only security updates, like in older versions of Ubuntu how can I do this?
[18:42] <ActionParsnip> jhb1608: its still managed by sane so the manufacturer is moot
[18:42] <ActionParsnip> jhb1608: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=712964
[18:42] <penguin42> Kevin: Curious
[18:42] <bid> is ubuntu server a good chooice for a dedicated server, LAMP only maybe tomcat as well
[18:43] <Kevin`> penguin42: it certainly could be CAUSED by something unrelated, of course
[18:43] <oCean_> Riotta: system > admin > update manager > settings > tab updates.
[18:43] <Kevin`> but it happens at the same time, twice in a row now
[18:44] <penguin42> Kevin`: Very odd, did you get those errors after it restarted?
[18:44] <Kevin`> penguin42: no, netconsole
[18:44] <Kevin`> the error doesn't exist anywhere after it's restarted
[18:44] <lhasbs> Is there any easy way to change monitor driver in ubuntu. i have to do this to get a higher resolution. It says i got a compaq 16" but it's 17".
[18:45] <penguin42> Kevin`: very odd, well I guess you've got a kernel bug then
[18:45] <Riotta> oCean_: and which should I pick to show me ALL updates when they are available?
[18:45] <jhb1608> jarle, where is the plugin?
[18:45] <oCean_> Riotta: pick the ones you think you need.
[18:45] <jeffmr> how do you disable password on wake from hibernate?
[18:45] <Kevin`> penguin42: I suppose I can try it with kernel.org. of course, it if works, i'm going to be very tempted to just keep using it
[18:46] <lhasbs> Is there any easy way to change monitor driver in ubuntu. i have to do this to get a higher resolution. It says i got a compaq 16" but it's 17".
[18:46] <Riotta> but none does work like I want to
[18:46] <jarle> jhb1608: gimp2.0-quiteinsane
[18:46] <Riotta> I heard that there's solution to make update-manager work old way
[18:46] <penguin42> Kevin`: Sure, I guess it could be a bug with the network driver for your card?
[18:46] <jhb1608> in spntatic?
[18:47] <ActionParsnip> jhb1608: look in: File->Create->xscanimage
[18:47] <help1> I did clean install of ubuntu, am mess up with synaptic. Is there any command to reinstall gui. i am managed to load terminal
[18:47] <Kevin`> penguin42: could be. wireshark does usb too though
[18:47] <lhasbs> So?
[18:47] <lhasbs> any11?
[18:47] <Kevin`> penguin42: ethernet is forcedeth and e100
[18:47] <penguin42> Kevin`: Ohhhh - I hadn't realised that
[18:47] <ActionParsnip> help1: sudo apt-get --reinstall install ubuntu-desktop
[18:47] <help1> thanks
[18:47] <jhb1608> jarle's method is better
[18:47] <lhasbs> Is there any easy way to change monitor driver in ubuntu. i have to do this to get a higher resolution. It says i got a compaq 16" but it's 17".
[18:47] <oCean_> Riotta: I have default install, default update mgr settings and I get notified about all available updates. Nothing to be 'fixed'
[18:48] <ActionParsnip> lhasbs: you need to configure the video driver, not the monitor
[18:48] <ActionParsnip> jhb1608: is it there?
[18:48] <linxeh> anyone know how to get vdpau enabled video playback working ?
[18:48] <Riotta> cool but I don't have it only inform me when I run synaptic
[18:48] <jhb1608> yes
[18:48] <jhb1608> I got it
[18:48] <penguin42> Kevin': In that case it looks like  a plain old usb oops doesn't it?
[18:48] <kostkon> Riotta, ubutnu checks for updates every day. if there are security update is notifies sou (update manager window pops-up) right away, otherwise only once per week
[18:49] <ActionParsnip> jhb1608: no thank you then...manners lost out again
[18:49] <kostkon> Riotta, sorry for the many typos :S
[18:49] <ermenegildo> bye bye to all :-)
[18:49] <Riotta> yeah kostkon but I want it to inform me on every update available
[18:49] <jhb1608> It works and it is a lot easier
[18:49] <Kevin`> penguin42: it does seem to include more usb then networking stuff
[18:49] <Riotta> not only security like it would in older versions
[18:49] <ubuntu_> Hi people
[18:49] <ubuntu_> )))
[18:49] <gdiz> hello, I am trying to figure some unix stuff out.  I know this is basic stuff but here is what I am trying to do.  I have a file that I want to copy to a directory that would not yet exist.  So I tried doing cp -R file /directorythatdoesnotexistyet/   with no success.  Any ideas?
[18:49] <penguin42> Kevin`: My reading of it is that devkit-disks was doing some USB stuff at the same time
[18:49] <Riotta> no way to do it?
[18:50] <kostkon> Riotta, ok. i think you can change it in gconf-editor
[18:50] <Riotta> cool
[18:50] <kostkon> Riotta, somehow. just google it
[18:50] <Riotta> okay
[18:50] <Kevin`> i'm gonna try to attach a proper serial console (netconsole is really annoying in this case) and then i'll see if it still happens in vanilla
[18:51] <jhb1608> thanks anyways Action
[18:52] <arthalion7> gdiz, first of all you have to create the new directory with "sudo mkdir /directorythatdoesnotexistyet"
[18:53] <ActionParsnip> yay, manners prevail :D
[18:53] <DanaG> where'd jhb1608 go?
[18:54] <Rods_Tiger> With Karmic, what's the point in installing a liveusb to a usb stick? Why not just go ahead and do a 'proper' install to the usbstick instead?
[18:54] <jeffmr> is there a way to keep ubuntu from asking you for passwords when you want to install things or change settings?
[18:54] <DanaG> Anyway, looks like he should install hplip-gui and run hp-setup, perhaps?
[18:54] <ActionParsnip> Rods_Tiger: some PCs dont have a D to boot to
[18:54] <Rods_Tiger> a "D"? what's that?
[18:54] <om26er> how to install handbrake
[18:54] <DanaG> Or wait, don't need hplip-gui to run hp-setup.
[18:55] <gdiz> arthalion7, thank you
[18:55] <arthalion7> om26er, it is already available in the repositories from 8.10 i think
[18:55] <om26er> arthalion7: no its  not
[18:56] <arthalion7> gdiz, you are wellcome.
[18:56] <FANTASMA_> alone?
[18:56] <Rods_Tiger> ActionParsnip: - what's a "D"?

[18:57] <silidan> hi, im on ubuntu 9.10. using an ati 4330 with atis proprjetary driver, 1080p video doesnt play smooth (its more some sort of a slideshow), any ideas how to get that improved?
[18:57] <Mutiny> and visa virca for the bin
[18:57] <BT> is there any way to start vncserver automatically?
[18:57] <Mutiny> how do i get around this?
[18:57] <om26er> arthalion7: this is not in karmic
[18:57] <Rods_Tiger> actionparsnip - surely that shouldn't matter? My netbook doesn't have a CD, but it can boot to a usbstick whether I made the usbstick as a liveusb or as a proper install.
[18:58] <ActionParsnip> Rods_Tiger: true, i guess its done because it can then

[19:10] <ActionParsnip> Mutiny: don't mix release debs (hardy debs in karmic) the debs are for hardy, not karmic for a reason. Thats why you have the word Karmic in your sources.list file, they are different
[19:10] <Warren1234> hop
[19:10] <Mutiny> yeah im aware of that
[19:10] <Warren1234> dang sorry
[19:11] <Mutiny> but thats not what im getting at
[19:11] <Mutiny> im talking about java in specific

[19:11] <Mutiny> i NEED java 5
[19:11] <Mutiny> not 6
[19:11] <RPG_Master> OK, me and my friend are trying to voice chat with Empathy over XMPP. But every time it fails to connect us. Even though we can IM just fine. Whats the deal?
[19:11] <Mutiny> and 5 isnt in karmics repo's
[19:11] <trism> Mutiny: his point is it is probably best to download it and install it manually they messing around with old debs
[19:11] <Mutiny> and as explained in my thread, theres a problem
[19:11] <zedster1> Mutiny: with java I've found its better to compile from source, but thats just my personal experience
[19:12] <Mutiny> i just need sun-java5-jre/bin/plugin.
[19:12] <Mutiny> thats all
[19:12] <Mutiny> I dont see why those debs in particular would present problems
[19:12] <jeffmr> works
[19:12] <Mutiny> its java.

[19:17] <ActionParsnip> Mutiny: packaged based distros have this weakness
[19:17] <hwilde> audio help - two apps crash audio
[19:17] <Mutiny> theres no error
[19:18] <Mutiny> "package installer" is frozen
[19:18] <Mutiny> and wont let me use apt-get
[19:18] <Mutiny> because its "locked"
[19:18] <Mutiny> how do i kill "Package Installer"?
[19:18] <kostkon> Mutiny, yeah, you can only use one apt app at any time
[19:18] <ActionParsnip> Mutiny: do you have synaptic open?
[19:18] <pietrubens> after 10 minutes of freeze, i am back
[19:19] <Mutiny> its package installer UI
[19:19] <Mutiny> the one that hows up when you click on a deb
[19:19] <Mutiny> its frozen
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> Mutiny: you can have only one app accesing the packages at once, if add/remove programs or software centre isopen it will lock the packages
[19:19] <Mutiny> how do i kill it?
[19:19] <zedster1> ActionParsnip: you seem to be in the know, can you give my problem a quick look? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1326317
[19:19] <Mutiny> yeah, i want to kill this package installer
[19:19] <IdleOne> killall synaptic
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> Mutiny: alt+f2   type   xkill   then click the app
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> zedster1: ask the channel
[19:20] <Mutiny> didnt work =S
[19:20] <Mutiny> ah yup, it worked now =)
[19:20] <Alley^Away> how do I see my drives in ubuntu?
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> Mutiny: ps -ef | less    read the list, then you can run: sudo kill  PID
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> Alley^Away: sudo fdisk -l
[19:20] <om26er1> even after disconnecting the netbook battery charger, panel is showing that charger is connected
[19:20] <jeffmr> df
[19:20] <pietrubens> is it possible that my problem is a problem related just to the 64-bit version?
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> Mutiny: pid is the leftmost value in the list
[19:20] <zedster1> ActionParsnip: I did
[19:21] <Mutiny> dpkg command didnt work
[19:21] <coreyman> anyone have an e-server x345?
[19:21] <Alley^Away> will that also show path to it so I can get to the files?
[19:21] <Alley^Away> like using krusader etc
[19:21] <ActionParsnip> Alley^Away: mount   will show you where the partitions are mounted (you cant mount drives)
[19:21] <jeffmr> have to use nautilus or just cd at the terminal and ls to see
[19:21] <ActionParsnip> Alley^Away: when you see where the partitions are mounted, yuo can access them by their mount pooint
[19:22] <slide> I can no longer get connected to Ubuntu One, is anyone else having this problem?
[19:22] <Mutiny> oh christ sake
[19:22] <cads> yes, my son?
[19:22] <ActionParsnip> !fixapt | Mutiny
[19:22] <sanguisdex1> so when I try booting into ubuntu 9.10 I get and error saying "general error mounting file system" right before the screen goes blank. any takers?
[19:23] <Mutiny> sigh, i give up
[19:23] <zedster1> sanguisdex1: do you have grub installed? can you try a safe mode boot?
[19:23] <ActionParsnip> sanguisdex1: does the CD pass verification? Did you MD5 test the ISO you burned?
[19:23] <sidewalk> how do i setup remote login for GDM in 9.10?
[19:23] <Mutiny> seems its too godamn difficult to downgrade java 6 to 5..

[19:23] <sanguisdex1> zedster1: I can boot into safe mode
[19:23] <pc400> Where do you change the boot order for the boot loader in ubuntu?  Everyhting on google points to /boot/grub/menu.lst, but no such file exists
[19:23] <ActionParsnip> Mutiny: because sun dont support it
[19:24] <om26er1> slide: i just tried and got connected without a problem

[19:25] <Alley^Away> this is exactly why people dont use linux - I get a list of ehhh no idea things, I just wanna access the cd drive
[19:25] <Silent_Echo> ActionParsnip: what is the prefered way to back up your system? (where ur doc/pic/music/video files are not important)
[19:26] <arand> Mutiny: if you want to install both packages that simultaneously depend on each other, use "sudo dpkg -i" from terminal appended by both packages simultaneously
[19:26] <Alley^Away> why is a drive list such a hard thing to have
[19:26] <pietrubens> is there a difference between applications for the 32 and the 64 bit OS? for example, vlc, wine, amongst others, the normal installers will work on a 64-bit, or do i need specific 64-bit application?
[19:26] <ActionParsnip> Silent_Echo: I just use a cron'd cp job, there is no "prefered way". Just use one you like or can configure
[19:26] <Apocapus> Hi I have Ubuntu 9.10 and I don't know what chips I have...I need drivers
[19:26] <ActionParsnip> Alley^Away: sudo fdisk -l  shows you your drives
[19:26] <Alley^Away> ActionParsnip: how do I see the dvd drive?
[19:27] <Silent_Echo> ActionParsnip: cron'd cp?
[19:27] <Alley^Away> but how to access it?
[19:27] <jarle> I am really stuck getting X up and running with a usable screen after upgrading to 9.10. Any hints on some magic commands I could try getting X to work again. (I'm on nvidia, but I am unable to get both nvidia and nv driver to work)
[19:27] <usser_> !cron
[19:27] <ActionParsnip> Alley^Away: put a disk in trhe drive, sudo mount /dev/sr0
[19:27] <Warren1234> !port61355
[19:27] <ActionParsnip> Silent_Echo: cp ==copy
[19:27] <Silent_Echo> ActionParsnip: usser, thx
[19:27] <Gintulis> Eat beaver - save a tree!
[19:27] <ActionParsnip> Alley^Away: the DVD should automount if its data
[19:28] <Apocapus> ummm?
[19:28] <jeffmr> Gintulis:  haha
[19:28] <Alley^Away> it is, its a movie, but nothing comes up on the desktop
[19:28] <ActionParsnip> Alley^Away: then you can use something like VLC and click file -> open disk
[19:28] <zedster1> Apocapus: run sudo lshw
[19:28] <Apocapus> Where do I find that?
[19:29] <tenoch1> Guys how should I report a bug related to the gnome panel. What i mean is where do I find the report a problem option for the Gnome panel?
[19:29] <ActionParsnip> !bug | tenoch1
[19:29] <zedster1> Apocapus: is it video driver you need?
[19:29] <Apocapus> yeah
[19:29] <zedster1> tenoch1: either in gnome forms (They also have their own irc if I recall) or the ubuntu launchpad
[19:30] <OerHeks> pietrubens, if the repository has a 64 bit version, ubuntu will get this automatic
[19:30] <sanguisdex1> so when I try booting into ubuntu 9.10 I get and error saying "general error mounting file system" right before the screen goes blank.  If I boot into safe mode I can run startx and have a normal session
[19:30] <ActionParsnip> sanguisdex1: did you test the CD?

[19:33] <jarle> SmnLpz: I have not been able to login to X after upgrading...

[19:42] <smwn> is the usplash part of the bootup related to your x server?
[19:43] <lstarnes> Thor1: how did you install it?
[19:43] <phyrrus> yes, it is
[19:43] <phyrrus> just remove gdm
[19:43] <arand> smwn: afaik, no, usplash is separate.
[19:43] <smwn> ok
[19:43] <embrik> smwn: i don't remember, but I think you'll find the sentence in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[19:43] <kavurt> my karmic automatically mounts all usb drives under
[19:44] <smwn> so what do i do when the usplash is crashing
[19:44] <Thor1> lstarnes, I think I originally installed it from the command line.  When I figured out that I had the wrong version I re-installed it from synaptic hoping it would override, apparently not.
[19:44] <Gadget3000> I have a problem with my surround sound. everything works except the centre speaker. Im using an XFi soundcard and ALSA. I have removed pulseaudio but had the problem before that. please help.
[19:44] <phyrrus> run sudo apt-get remove splashy,usplash
[19:44] <mzawieska> stmiller, i tried that treat and i didnt help me
[19:44] <lstarnes> Thor1: versions installed outside of the package system typically override the packaged versions
[19:44] <smwn> thanks
[19:45] <Thor1> lstarnes, just a moment ago I downloaded the version I wanted.  I installed that via the command line and python is still saying I have the 3.1.2 version installed.
[19:45] <kavurt> my karmic automatically mounts all usb drives under /media/UUID_of_partition which are not written in /etc/fstab. why?
[19:45] <BluetoothMouse> can anyone help me get my Microsoft Bluetooth notebook mouse 5000 working?
[19:45] <kleus>  i installed the notifications-daemon and unistalled notify-osd but now my notifications don't appear as a buble like in the previous versions of ubuntu it's just a square in the lower right corner anyway to fix this?
[19:46] <vis> Is there a console command I can use to specify which sound card to use with alsa?
[19:46] <kostkon> vis, yes
[19:47] <vis> so I can set it as a default driver for all apps?
[19:47] <Thor1> lstarnes, I downloaded 2.3.0 and did a sudo python setup.py install in the unzipped directory.  The install appears to have gone fine - I don't know why its not working.
[19:47] <Piet> Thor1: if this returns a non-zero value then you still have a cherrypy package installed: dpkg -l \*cherrypy\*|egrep '^i'|wc -l
[19:47] <kostkon> vis, asoundconf list
[19:47] <kostkon> vis, to list your audio devices
[19:47] <kostkon> vis, e.g. it lists one as "Live"
[19:47] <Thor1> Piet, it returned zero.  But again I installed it through the command line - I'm not sure if that matters.
[19:47] <kostkon> vis, thus, then to set it as the default, you do: asoundconf set-default Live
[19:48] <vis> thanks =) apparantly I don't have that package though
[19:48] <kostkon> vis, sorry its set-default-card not set-default
[19:48] <Piet> Thor1: you can also install packages on the command line interface. but apparently you did it some python specific way, which i don't know, and could not support.
[19:49] <kostkon> vis, eh, maybe you need to install the alsa-utils package
[19:49] <vis> ah, thanks
[19:49] <vis> hmm.. apparantly I already have that
[19:49] <cmwslw> any idea why my karmic install on a brand new dell laptop has grub 1.97~beta4 instead of grub2?
[19:50] <vis> that command is doing nothing..
[19:50] <Dr_Willis>   !info grub-pc
[19:50] <Thor1> lstarnes, any thoughts?
[19:50] <Dr_Willis> cmwslw:  that is the version for grub2 :)
[19:50] <kostkon> vis, what command?
[19:50] <mzawieska> hello I am havin problems with xserver display config  when i wanted to set up the twineview i tried save to X configuration file and I am getting this msg Failed to parse existing x config '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'!

[19:51] <kostkon> vis, hmm
[19:51] <stmiller> mzawieska sorry I don't know! Please stop asking
[19:51] <cmwslw> Dr_Willis: do you know why my default and timeout changes aren't affecting anything then?
[19:51] <Dr_Willis> mzawieska:  i used a backup xorg,conf file which i copied to xorg.conf first.  aparenely the nvidia tool gets confused with some sections missing

[19:53] <Dr_Willis> mzawieska:  download one, OR you could tell it to save to some place OTHER then xorg.conf and then copy the newly made file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf I think that works also
[19:53] <sanguisdex1> I am getting a blank screen the problem is the intel graphics chips set and the proposed fix is to "boot with the i915.modeset=0 option" but I don't know how to set that?

[19:55] <kostkon> vis, eh yeah, some.
[19:55] <vis> why do you ask?
[19:56] <joschtt> is it possible to connect to a wireless network from a terminal?
[19:56] <kostkon> vis, because to set a default device you can do it in sound prefs instead of using asoundconf. because
[19:56] <ocatacoo> help
[19:56] <Dr_Willis> joschtt:  yes it is
[19:56] <allenbradley> joschtt : yeah

[19:56] <vis> from earlier: I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 with fluxbox, with gnome-settings-daemon and gnome-volume-control-applet. I have an external USB sound card. Sometimes there's no sound even though the applet is set to use the USB card over the integrated sound. I have to go into the applet and change "settings for the selected device" to analogue (which gives me half of the stereo sound) and then back to digital (which gives me both). Why
[19:56] <vis>  do I have to keep doing this, and is there a way to stop it happening?
[19:57] <durammx> Hi! have an applet problem. The nm-applet is show wrongly on ubu 9.10
[19:57] <kostkon> vis, asoundconf does not work if you have pulse and your apps send their sound through pulse
[19:57] <joschtt> allenbradley: will it just autoconnect to anything in the keyring?
[19:57] <Dr_Willis> mzawieska:  time to read a few linux basics tutorials/command like tutorials then i guess.
[19:57] <vis> How do I disable pulse?
[19:57] <ocatacoo> help help
[19:57] <allenbradley> no... you actually have to specify the ssid
[19:57] <kostkon> vis, what problems do you have with pulse?

[19:58] <smwn> my usb wifi works out of the box with 9.10...w00t and it works fast...
[19:58] <Silent_Echo> how do i use clonezilla?
[19:58] <joschtt> allenbradley: so it just starts it and how do u login to a network?
[19:58] <kostkon> vis, hmm ok
[19:58] <Gadget3000> vis: this worked perfectly for me. http://ubuntu-ky.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8284273
[19:58] <vis> I just want to be able to specify which sound card to use at startup in my flux startup script. Sometimes I use the usb card, sometimes not, depending on where the laptop is
[19:58] <smwn> 9.10 rawks ma socks
[19:58] <ocatacoo> a real simple help
[19:58] <usser_> Silent_Echo, easy
[19:58] <allenbradley> joschtt: As a warning, if you do this, nm-applet will stop managing the card
[19:59] <vis> thanks Gadget3000
[19:59] <Silent_Echo> usser_: mind pm'n me and giving me a walkthrough?
[19:59] <usser_> Silent_Echo, download livecd burn it, boot from it, from there on its pretty much self explanatory
[19:59] <joschtt> allenbradley: but will it restart after a new session?
[19:59] <allenbradley> joschtt: this could be unnecessarily difficult if you like to click and use once in a while
[19:59] <allenbradley> again, no.. you have to manually bring up the interface and conncet
[19:59] <ocatacoo> what is my nick displayed as?
[19:59] <allenbradley> joschtt: so, if you are ready for that, sure
[19:59] <usser_> Silent_Echo, i feel rather lazy, ask specific questions about it, and i'll try to answer. rather than walking you through, sorry
[19:59] <xzenox> Can anyone help me with this? I've looked everywhere and couldn't find any posts on blogs/forums on something like this: http://superuser.com/questions/70544/ubuntu-9-10-network-connection-issues
[20:00] <vis> Kostkon: does this way of dealing with the problem seem safe?
[20:00] <m4rk> how do i change the mouse cursor on 9.10?
[20:00] <joschtt> allenbradley: oh ok so then if say my mom needs to connect to a network at like a cafe u still have to use ifup? cant use the manager?
[20:00] <ibqn> after upgrade to 9.10 i am not able to mount a samba share for guests for people without a user/pass account.. does anybody ran into this?
[20:00] <Silent_Echo> usser_:  kk...mmm dont i need to back it onto something? or is it just like that....self explanitory
[20:00] <allenbradley> yup
[20:00] <kostkon> vis, if you want to remove pulse, yeah it seems to be ok
[20:00] <Dr_Willis> m4rk:  its under the 'customize' button where you set your theme/appearance settings
[20:01] <usser_> Silent_Echo, clonezilla supports different storage methods, you can save to a samba share, nfs, over ssh, to another local disk
[20:01] <allenbradley> joschtt: it will proce to be a headache. The nm-applet is quite arbitrary. In 8.04, it would  wash itss hands off comletely
[20:01] <ibqn> I am talking about guest sharing in nautilus-samba extension...
[20:01] <vis> So what's better about pulse, other than a better gui config?
[20:01] <vis> yay it's gone =D
[20:01] <usser_> Silent_Echo, i use a samba share at work, since we have a dedicated storage server
[20:01] <joschtt> allenbradley: so if i want to be on the safe side and keep using the manager i just login to my x server and let it connect then proceed to tty1 etc
[20:01] <allenbradley> joschtt: In 9.10, god knows. but its probably not worth the risk. especially if another person might be using the same computer
[20:01] <SteelDragon> does anyone know how to change your refresh rate? My screen is stuck at 59HZ but goes to 75HZ but my nVidia drivers won't let me adjust the refresh rate.
[20:01] <Dr_Willis> vis:  you can record/play/ to/from other machines on the network.. individual app volume controll. are 2 features ive used
[20:01] <cmwslw> my grub2's settings changes will not work
[20:01] <m4rk> Dr_Willis, cool, thanks. got it
[20:02] <Guest14748> i just installed ubuntu 9.10 server on a spare machine and i am following a guide to build a xbmc minimal install and i get the command polkit-auth not found... any ideas
[20:02] <Silent_Echo> usser_: mmm but it will give you the options once u boot up from the disk
[20:02] <allenbradley> joschtt: Again, if you are the sole user
[20:02] <Silent_Echo> ?
[20:02] <joschtt> allenbradley: thanks for the advice i guess i'll just keep using the applet
[20:02] <cmwslw> i tried changing the default menu entry to boot into, but it flickers for a split second with the right entry selected, but goes back to the beginning
[20:02] <Dr_Willis> !find polkit-auth
[20:02] <usser_> Silent_Echo, yes, it'll ask you what you want to do, backup or restore, backup/restore partitions or entire drive, and where you want to save/load your backup to
[20:02] <cmwslw> there is also no timeout when i set one
[20:02] <allenbradley> joschtt: mo problem. i'll update you if nm-applet improves in this regard.
[20:02] <Dr_Willis> Guest14748:  install those packages the bot mentiuoned.
[20:03] <Silent_Echo> usser_: thx....i'll b doing that now...thx and thx again
[20:03] <joschtt> how do u convert a grub 1 menu.lst to the new grub 2 menu.lst style?
[20:03] <vis> back in a couple.
[20:03] <vis> thanks everyone =)
[20:03] <Dr_Willis> joschtt:  with lots of work.. from what ive done.. :(
[20:03] <_cb> I want to resize my home partition. When I go to partition editor it shows me /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2... how can I tell which one is home?
[20:04] <Dr_Willis> joschtt:  ive not seen any tools to do it automatically. (not looked recently however)
[20:04] <allenbradley> _cb: df -h
[20:04] <joschtt> Dr_Willis: oh i was hoping the upgrade would be super easy because i already have a sep home partition but i guess not
[20:04] <durammx> how can I fix it?
[20:04] <Dr_Willis> joschtt:  a Upgrade will NOT upgrade you to grub2.
[20:04] <greezmunkey> !greezmunkey
[20:04] <Dr_Willis> joschtt:  it will stay with grub1
[20:04] <Scunizi> _cb: or sudo fdisk -l
[20:04] <_cb> thanks allenbradley
[20:05] <joschtt> i meant reinstall.. because i already have a sep home partition and my experience 8.10 to 9.04 upgrade was bad
[20:05] <joschtt> does my home partition need to be ext4 to get speed benefits?
[20:05] <Dr_Willis> joschtt:  grub and grub2 are worth reading/learning about. :)  ext4 is faster for me.. but if its ext3 now. i wouldent get to worried about it
[20:06] <usser_> joscht, i'd stay with ext3 until the next LTS
[20:06] <BlouBlou> joschtt: ext4 it's faster than ext3, but it's not needed
[20:06] <joschtt> my / is already ext4 so wouldnt i already get the speed benefits or dod i need to format my /home partition too?
[20:06] <_cb> Ok now I now that /dev/sda10 is /home. How can I label it so if I need to resize it again it will say home on the partition editor label?
[20:06] <Dr_Willis> joschtt:  only if you read/write to your /home.. :)
[20:07] <BlouBlou> joschtt: /home is in /, so if you have / in ext4, your home is in ext4 too
[20:07] <greezmunkey> new irssi user here, is it possible to ignore (not see) join/leave messages?
[20:07] <Dr_Willis> joschtt:  would you gain :P  but its proberly not worthj worrying about
[20:07] <joschtt> no but i have a separate /home partition
[20:07] <Dr_Willis> greezmunkey:  yes.. in the irssi faq and a factoid here.. but i forget what its called
[20:07] <krainbolt> Arrrrgh, gnome-panel refuses to start on reboot.
[20:07] <BlouBlou> greezmunkey: try #irssi :)
[20:07] <Dr_Willis> !irssi
[20:07] <BlouBlou> joschtt: oh, then as you want :)
[20:07] <Dr_Willis> !ignore
[20:07] <joschtt> but i would get the faster bootup right? because ubuntu boots from / ??
[20:07] <Dr_Willis> !parts
[20:08] <Dr_Willis> joschtt:  yes. ext4 will help you boot a little faster
[20:08] <BlouBlou> Dr_Willis: please, try command via PM
[20:08] <themol> !command
[20:08] <Dr_Willis> heh
[20:08] <joschtt> ok thanks those are my questions
[20:08] <greezmunkey> BlouBlou, got it :]

[20:12] <dylan__> greezmunkey: yea but it doesnt work with stickam for some reason
[20:12] <AzaToth> Dr_Willis: first time I inserted the disk the "what do you want to do" dialog popped up
[20:12] <Dr_Willis> AzaToth:  I thouigh it poped up somthing about 'launching a burning tool' or somthing.. but ive not tried it in 9.10 yet since beta.
[20:13] <AzaToth> Dr_Willis: though I actually upped to 9.10 after last successful try I assume

[20:14] <mzawieska> SmnLpz, hey u there?
[20:14] <Dr_Willis> AzaToth:  also there should be a /dev/cdrom or /dev/dvd
[20:14] <AzaToth> Dr_Willis: no sr-devices as all
[20:14] <AzaToth> no /dev/dvd*
[20:14] <android6011> is there a way to fix "checking battery state" after a new install? It starts and then hangs there

[20:15] <greezmunkey> dylan__, you run tcpdump in a terminal pointed at your wan interface, then run your program to see if it is a network issue
[20:15] <Dr_Willis> im about to remove the optical drives in my linux box's i need more HD space
[20:16] <Scunizi> Dr_Willis: don't you mean .. more space to put harddrives?
[20:16] <AzaToth> Dr_Willis: when docing the drive, syslog says: ata3: exception Emask 0x10 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0xe frozen
[20:16] <dylan__> greezmunkey: so i type tcpdump in a terminal and then open stickam player?

[20:16] <nerdy_kid> pulseaudio CPU goes to 100 whenever i open pavcontrol with webcam attached...help?
[20:17] <ubuntu> ubuntu
[20:17] <greezmunkey> dylan__, it would be more like: sudo tcpdump -i (your interface), then run your program
[20:17] <AzaToth> Dr_Willis: there is no indication at all in the syslog when I insert a disk
[20:18] <Dsgn> manuel_: i have that problem too, in jaunty it worked fine
[20:19] <manuel_> Dsgn: what could be the prob?
[20:19] <greezmunkey> dylan__, any luck, I got split out
[20:19] <Pirate_Hunter> If I wish to save resources in using an application on a server install what is more advisable, using php application or java application?
[20:20] <dylan__> greezmunkey: nope it didn't wrk
[20:20] <Dsgn> probably a bug in karmic that needs to be solved
[20:20] <wiehan> Hi, I just bought myself a new 1TB hard drive, and would like to know which is the best filesystem for simply backing up, it would only be used to copy and paste (rsync or by other or manual means) large volumes of files. Which is the best for that purpose: JFS, XFS, EXT4, Btrfs, Reiserfs, other??
[20:20] <nerdy_kid> ahh help pulseaudio hates my webcam!
[20:20] <greezmunkey> dylan__, what output did you get from tcpdump, anything interesting. Oh, tcpdump won't make your program work, just tell you what is on the "wire"
[20:21] <dylan__> it started capturing more packets once i clicked on the player but thats about it i'll do it again and show you
[20:21] <greezmunkey> dylan__, tcpdump will tell you if the issue is with your network, connection, etc.
[20:22] <greezmunkey> dylan__, pastebin
[20:23] <KonA> :D
[20:23] <themol> em..
[20:24] <joscht> i was falsely led to believe that switching to oss4 would solve my mic not working, but it just made worse problems. How can i switch back to pulse?
[20:25] <wiehan> What is the best file system for simply backing up
[20:25] <dylan__>  greezmunkey: http://paste.ubuntu.com/318869/
[20:25] <usser_> wiehan, go with plain old proven ext3
[20:26] <nerdy_kid> pulseaudio uses 100%CPU with webcam

[20:27] <ajah> i`m using vmware server my host machine is ubuntu 9.10 i `m connected with internet via wireless connection my virtual machine is windows xp how can i set internet connection on the virtual machine
[20:27] <greezmunkey> dylan__, I ran nslookup on that IP, no server...<IP_ADDRESS>
[20:28] <ajah> i set the network adapter option to be bridged
[20:28] <ajah> but with no success
[20:28] <usser_> ajah, you can use NAT or bridged mode, its gotta be in the properties of a VM somewhere
[20:28] <greezmunkey> dylan, but that doesn't mean it wont work...
[20:28] <guntbert> ajah: I'd say thats a vmware question...
[20:28] <dylan__> greezmunkey: what does it mean then?
[20:28] <greezmunkey> dylan__, it looks ok, what are you using to send the stream?
[20:29] <nvme> hey does anyone know what ISOs support he isofrom option ?

[20:33] <ajah> how to transfer files from my host machine to the virtual machine
[20:33] <usser_> mzawieska, i see, run sudo touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf

[20:34] <|Scott|> hi, is anyone here experienced with wine?
[20:34] <billybigrigger> what would be the best way to run a command, that needs root access in a script? ie gksu <command>
[20:34] <billybigrigger> ?
[20:34] <guntbert> Xacarith: paste the output of "ls -ld ~" (without quotes) please
[20:34] <usser_> billybigrigger, unattended script?
[20:34] <mzawieska> usser_, okay done and ?
[20:34] <ajah> Scunizi yeah i`m using vmware seever
[20:34] <usser_> mzawieska, try whatever you tried before to get twinview
[20:35] <billybigrigger> usser_, lemme paste my script
[20:35] <Dsgn> obiwan_: have you tried rhythmbox?
[20:35] <usser_> mzawieska, nvidia-config utility must be run with sudo to be able to save to /etc/X11
[20:35] <mzawieska> usser_, u mean sudo nvidia-settings?
[20:35] <usser_> mzawieska, yea that
[20:35] <billybigrigger> usser_, http://pastebin.ca/1671467
[20:35] <usser_> mzawieska, run it with sudo
[20:35] <nvme> Does anyone know how to get XBMC live iso to boot from grub2 ?
[20:35] <greezmunkey> dylan__, do you know if you have flash plugged into FF?
[20:35] <Scunizi> ajah: I got off vmware server 2 years ago.. I just found it too heavy and I didn't like the webbased control panel. It was just too klunky.
[20:36] <dylan__> greezmunkey: yea i do
[20:36] <billybigrigger> usser_, i want it to run stunnel as root, then launch pan, and exit to free up the terminal, i also run that script from a quick launch icon in my panel, so whats the best way to exit cleanly? just append "exit" to the last line?
[20:36] <mzawieska> usser_, when i did that it said u do not appear to be using Nvidia driver.Please edit your X config bla bla bla
[20:36] <usser_> billybigrigger, ok, gksu should work
[20:36] <obiwan_> Dsgn: yeah, but itouchs and iphones are blocked , you can't enter drive mode , there's some programs in windows and in mac. for example i used senuti in mac once and worked perfect, but  i tried wine with some win programs and won't install wine has problems with all them
[20:36] <Nayballs>  Hey everyone, don't suppose someone could help me solve this tiny issue that I have?.
[20:37] <billybigrigger> Nayballs, best to just ask :)
[20:37] <furuno> !ask | Nayballs
[20:37] <guntbert> !ask | Nayballs
[20:37] <greezmunkey> dylan__, hmm, that's the only requirement I could find on their page...Their page was pretty sluggish tho...Has it ever worked?
[20:37] <usser_> billybigrigger, yea, you can add nohup in front of commands that matter so that they keep running after script is terminated
[20:37] <Xacarith> guntbert 4
[20:37] <usser_> mzawieska, huh? i didnt think nvidia cared.
[20:38] <mzawieska> usser_, yupp
[20:38] <OpenSourcedNick> my terminal still scrambles the letters when I run a command that is bigger than one line, what to do?
[20:38] <billybigrigger> usser_, http://pastebin.ca/1671472 like that?
[20:38] <mzawieska> usser_, reinstall drivers
[20:38] <dylan__> greezmunkey: i remember once i got it working with vlc player somehow but it only worked for a second and then it quit working
[20:38] <usser_> mzawieska, no, no need to reinstall drivers
[20:38] <guntbert> Xacarith: no, it must be something like: drwxr-xr-x 137 re re 12288 2009-11-14 18:08 /home/re
[20:38] <Nayballs> Having a problem with installing WoW, i've read the forums and such when I click on the Installer.exe it says Access denied also - It won't let me copy and paste the files onto the desktop into a folder. I can solve it by doing it as root but I REALLY don't want too do that
[20:38] <Safe> If I have a soundcard that can change bass/treble, is it accessible from the alsamixer?
[20:38] <mzawieska> usser_, so what should i do/
[20:39] <greezmunkey> dylan__, are you sure that nothing else is accessing your camera locally, and AIM client or anything?
[20:39] <guntbert> Xacarith: review the command I gave you

[20:39] <dylan__> greezmunkey: yea i'm positive

[20:39] <usser_> mzawieska, that should shut nvidia utility up
[20:39] <_paco_> Hi anyone ubuntuforums user? I just need a .jpg and don't want to register
[20:39] <StrangeCharm_> the installer disk supports encrypted roots. is it possible to mount additional encrypted volumes when the encrypted root is mounted, but - instead of using passphrases - using a keyfile on the root?
[20:39] <phobiac> I'm trying to install ubuntu onto a hard drive that will then be placed in another computer. The hard drive is in an external enclosure. I've looked over the install options and can't really see which one would apply for this situation.

[20:40] <moshisush> hello! firefox says "bus error" when i try to start it.. what is this about?
[20:40] <phobiac> I'm looking for a way to install that won't require me to reboot and boot from an install CD, really
[20:40] <furuno> Nayballs: you might want to change it from root mode nautilus tought (gksudo nautilus)
[20:40] <Jordan_U> phobiac: Do a standard install but making sure grub gets installed to the external
[20:40] <_paco_> thx guntbert
[20:40] <dylan__> greezmunkey: k thanks for the help n e way though
[20:40] <greezmunkey> dylan__, good luck with that!
[20:40] <guntbert> Xacarith: no, it was ls -ld ~
[20:40] <phobiac> Jordan_U: I figured that, but is there some way you know of to just do that in my already in place ubuntu install?
[20:40] <Nayballs> I'll give that ago Furuno thanks
[20:40] <dylan__> greezmunkey: i'll figure somethin out
[20:41] <LeeFo> can someone send me broadcom_wireless-<IP_ADDRESS>-2xkp.exe for ndiswrapper?..one dl link is broken :-(

[20:41] <nerdy_kid> does pidgen support video chat?  --myspaceim; facebook...
[20:41] <phobiac> Can I just download the packages the installer has? I didn't think to before because I wasn't sure if that would screw with my system.
[20:42] <Xacarith> guntbert forgive me for being a little dyslexic at times  drwxr-xr-x
[20:42] <Jordan_U> phobiac: So you have an internal drive that's booting fine and you want to move it to an external enclosure?

[20:43] <moshisush> firefox just all of a sudden stopped working.. i'm not even really sure what bus error means
[20:43] <moshisush> no one else got this problem=
[20:43] <moshisush> ?
[20:43] <phobiac> Jordan_U: No, I have an internal drive in an external enclosure, that I want to install ubuntu to. BUT it will be intended to be placed internally, it's only in an external enclosure for convience at the moment.
[20:44] <mzawieska> usser_, okay done it and now what?
[20:44] <phobiac> It's going in another machine, and I really don't want to have to shutdown and boot from a liveCD just to install ubuntu onto this drive.
[20:44] <usser_> mzawieska, rerun nvidia-settings wit sudo
[20:44] <guntbert> Xacarith: looks good, now please type ls -ld ~/.dmrc

[20:44] <jago25> fdisk -l says my partitions aren't in order. Ubuntu freezes on startup waiting for the root partition. Editing /etc/fstab doesn't change this. Ideas?
[20:44] <Jordan_U> phobiac: If it's working in the external enclosure, and grub is actually installed to it rather than your internal drive then there is nothing you need to do

[20:46] <rocknroll00> Hello! I wanted to try K-3D and installed it. When I run it, the splash screen runs to "Starting user interface", and then disapear. In my kern.log, I have this error message: "[24319.025691] k3d-bin[8217]: segfault at 455c677 ip 04508b43 sp bfddcd30 error 7 in radeon_dri.so[44b8000+24f000]" ... should I report a bug on launchpad? Do you have any idea?
[20:46] <infid> on my LAN, to emulate being an 'outside/internet' user all i have to do is try to connect to my local computers by my external IP address rather as localhost right? ie can i test if my firewall is allowing remote internet connections from inside my network?
[20:47] <phobiac> Jordan_U: thank you for your attempt to help, I'll just put up with not having access to my machine for a half hour while I install this.
[20:47] <usser_> infid, most consumer grade routers dont allow that, ie it simply wont work.
[20:47] <ajah> how to transer file from mu host machine to virtual machine ,i`m using vmware server
[20:47] <guntbert> Xacarith: now we are getting somewhere (I hope): pleas type "chmod -v 0644 ~/.dmrc" (again without quotes)
[20:47] <infid> usser_ really? so the only way to test it is to be on a computer outside the network?
[20:47] <usser_> infid, or ssh somewhere outside, and connect from there
[20:48] <infid> thanks
[20:48] <f4lcokian_> hey,,
[20:48] <Jordan_U> infid: Yes, there are many sites that will do port scans for you, or you can connect via tor or some other proxy
[20:48] <f4lcokian> hi all..
[20:48] <jago25> phobiac: did you investigate the windows installer (installs to a file in windows I think, but perhaps we could convert it to a partition?)
[20:49] <infid> why dont routers allow you to connect to yourself from your external ip?
[20:49] <mzawieska> usser_, man works perfect
[20:49] <Xacarith> mode of `/home/kessie/.dmrc' changed to 0644 (rw-r--r--)
[20:49] <usser_> mzawieska, cool :)
[20:49] <guntbert> !who | Xacarith
[20:49] <craigbass1976> If I boot to a live cd and chroot to the / of the dying drive, can I run a mysqldump?
[20:50] <usser_> infid, i dont know... laziness. i've had at least couple of different models do that, in particular most verizon routers seem to suffer from that
[20:50] <Billiard> craigbass1976: yes
[20:50] <malsyned> When I start playing a flash video (on, say, youtube or hulu), the sounds works fine.  Shortly after it starts to skip, and then it cuts out entirely.  Refreshing the page brings sound back, only to have it cut out again shortly after.
[20:50] <Billiard> craigbass1976: but if its dying idk how well it will work
[20:50] <craigbass1976> usser_, verizon routers suffer from what?  Are you talking about the westell 6100 perhaps?
[20:50] <mzawieska> usser_, thank you alot LOL :)
[20:50] <guntbert> Xacarith: good, now try to log out and back in
[20:51] <Jordan_U> infid: It's just the way they are implemented, sending a packet pack out the interface it came is not understood ( or maybe is not done to prevent routing loops )
[20:51] <gnutoo> hi, how do I make nm-applet not use usb0?
[20:51] <Billiard> malsyned: which flashplayer and from where did you install
[20:51] <infid> i dont think verizon makes routers, they just use like motorolla and stuff
[20:51] <gnutoo> I've tried modifying /etc/network/interfaces
[20:51] <f4lcokian> cool..
[20:51] <gnutoo> it doesn't work
[20:52] <usser_> craigbass1976, maybe, i have a versalink wireless router here.
[20:52] <gnutoo> I've huge boot->test times on my embedded device because of that
[20:52] <Billiard> gnutoo: adding a line for it under interfaces should make nm not use it
[20:52] <malsyned> Billiard: checking...
[20:52] <Xacarith> guntbert Thank you for your help, and hopefully I will get a new hard drive soon before more problems come up.
[20:52] <craigbass1976> Billiard, I can actually boot, but there's an issue (the drive is dying) but it mounts readonly.  I tried earlier writing out the dumps to a thumb drive (mounted in /mnt) but that too was read only.  Now that I'm at home (no customers busting in) I can probably dork with it enough to get it to write out
[20:52] <gnutoo> Billiard, ah I've added that:
[20:52] <Billiard> gnutoo: pastebin your interfaces file maybe
[20:52] <malsyned> Billiard: looks like I've got "adobe-flashplugin"
[20:52] <gnutoo> that's what I'm doing
[20:53] <guntbert> Xacarith: you're welcome :-) (but I don't see what that could have to do with a defective HD)
[20:53] <craigbass1976> usser_, I ask because we have a westell 6100 at work (though we're with Fairpoint now, we just ahve the modem we got from verizon) and our connection is horrid.  Haven't decided where the problem is yet... line, modem, snapgear firewall, etc
[20:53] <gnutoo> http://pastebin.com/m62bae5ea
[20:53] <Billiard> malsyned: not really familiar with that package, try flashplayer-nonfree
[20:54] <Xacarith> guntbert The operating system had errors on it and this problem happened right after having to force a hard drive scan which turned up many problems
[20:54] <malsyned> Billiard: do you mean flashplugin-nonfree?
[20:54] <Billiard> gnutoo: yea i would think that would make nm ignore it
[20:54] <Billiard> malsyned: yes sorry
[20:55] <usser_> craigbass1976, the westell i had from cablevision was fine in that regard dont remember the model though
[20:55] <malsyned> Billiard: OK I'll try it.
[20:55] <guntbert> Xacarith: I see - Good luck :-) then

[20:56] <Apocapus> hello? I have a problem with wine
[20:56] <malsyned> Billiard: do you think I'll need flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound?
[20:56] <Apocapus> I enabled Virtual Desktop and increased the font size so now...I can't make any changes to Wine and It glitches
[20:56] <Billiard> malsyned: not sure, ive never needed it
[20:57] <craigbass1976> usser_, I think it's got more to do with Fairpoint declared bankruptcy lately, and trouble in rural Maine is probably the least of their worries...
[20:57] <Billiard> maddmike: the light stays on when you close it?
[20:57] <matiu> I have a password that only evolution knows .. I think it's in my gnome keyring .. any idea how I can get it to load onto another machine please ?
[20:57] <craigbass1976> usser_, it does suck though when I'm running a web server on our connection
[20:58] <matiu> basically just to pull it up on screen ..
[20:58] <maddmike> yes it dose
[20:58] <craigbass1976> matiu, there must be a text file somewhere...
[20:58] <Billiard> maddmike: thats odd
[20:58] <maddmike> billard ok to pvt u?
[20:58] <matiu> craigbass1976, yeah, it's encrypted with the gnome keyring password
[20:59] <AndrewGe1> Hi all. Does anyone know how to enable the pc speaker, after it's been disabled in karmic?
[20:59] <usser_> craigbass1976, cant you negotiate some special deal, a business connection. Consumer internet offerings are usually assymetric ie 15mbit down/1mbit up
[20:59] <matiu> craigbass1976, ./gnome2/keyrings/login.keyring
[20:59] <Billiard> maddmike: pvt? i dont have any ideas how to fix it, my guess is ubuntu doesnt know how to sense when the screen is shut
[20:59] <Xacarith> guntbert *sigh* still getting the same message when I log in...
[20:59] <tadpole> can somebody please help me... i updated firefox to 3.6, and it doesnt allow flash even though i have all the flash plugins. so i deleted firefox 3.6, and when i tried to install 3.5 it just keeps 3.6. how do i downgrade to 3.5??
[21:00] <NehMoh> Hi there, can anyone tell how to configure ubuntu karmik to mount /proc/bus/usbfs with a given GID permission?, I tried with none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=1001,devmode=664 0 0, but it always mounts as root now
[21:00] <tadpole> by the way, i'm a total newbie, so i would really appreciate some newb friendly help :P
[21:00] <NehMoh> something has changed in the permission system, it seems?
[21:00] <malsyned> Billiard: OK, I removed adobe-flashplugin and installed flashplugin-nonfree, but it's doing the same thing.
[21:00] <coi6644> hi guys
[21:01] <coi6644> whats up?
[21:01] <tadpole> anybody?
[21:01] <guntbert> Xacarith: odd - I'll do a little searching
[21:01] <DanaG> Stupid SEGVidia
[21:01] <Billiard> malsyned: ok, ive got no more ideas sorry
[21:01] <DanaG> *segfault*
[21:01] <coi6644> tadpole: did u complete uninstalled
[21:01] <BluesKaj> !ask | tadpole
[21:01] <Nayballss> Hmm, it's still not letting me extract files off my CD says I do not have permission though I changed it in systems ---> admins --> Users and groups >_<
[21:01] <Dsgn> malsyned: Billiard: what's the problem?
[21:02] <malsyned> Dsgn: Sound skips, then cuts out, in flash movies.
[21:02] <setz> Hi all
[21:02] <tadpole> coi6644: yes, i complete uninstalled with synaptic manager. but when i installed 3.5, it just gave me something called Shiretoko. but when i click shiretoko, it opens up firefox 3.6. i can tell because it has the persona skin
[21:02] <gmathews> Hey, whats the command line entry to update ubuntu?
[21:03] <Igramul> Hi, how can I autostart bind at system start?
[21:03] <SJr> I have a question, how do I get the development man page?
[21:03] <SJr> I have a question, how do I get the development man pages?
[21:03] <Dsgn> malsyned: I have a problem with my sound too
[21:03] <MrPiracy> newbie question: nautilus is opening without the left-hand side treeview list. How do i restore it?
[21:03] <malsyned> Dsgn: same problem?
[21:03] <Billiard> NehMoh: why do you want to change the permissions?
[21:04] <DivineEntity> SJr,  what do you wan to develop in ?
[21:04] <guntbert> Xacarith: please again type ls -l ~/.dmrc
[21:04] <SJr> C/C++
[21:04] <DivineEntity> man gcc
[21:04] <coi6644> tadpole: man, shiretoko is a kind of "codename" of mozilla firefox
[21:04] <LjL> SJr: sudo apt-get install manpages-dev
[21:04] <SJr> Thanks
[21:04] <DivineEntity> thats just the compiler
[21:04] <NehMoh> Billiard: how else can you give virtualbox users permissions to use usb devices?
[21:04] <darknezz> i have a problem with my synaptic package manager.... i wanted to update flash soo i downloaded the deb from the adobe website now i cant update or even enter synaptic package manager. if someone can help me that be nice :)
[21:04] <SJr> No LjL had what I wanted
[21:04] <coi6644> tadpole: when u deinstalled, u tried execute firefox to see if it was really uninstalled?
[21:04] <Xacarith> guntbert I've found many things in a search, most come down to using four commands with chmod and chown and I've tried them several times
[21:05] <Xacarith> guntbert -rw-r--r-- 1 kessie kessie<PHONE_NUMBER>-11-13 19:10 /home/kessie/.dmrc
[21:05] <tadpole> coi6644: yea, someone told me that. but what i really want is to downgrade to firefox 3.5, like the one that came with my ubuntu 9.10.
[21:05] <NehMoh> Billiard: it breaks every time I upgrade. I really hate every permission system change
[21:05] <Billiard> NehMoh: thats not the proper way, hold on ill find the correct command
[21:05] <tadpole> coi6644: im going to try and uninstall again. do you know exactly what files i should uninstall?
[21:05] <NehMoh> Billiard: thanks
[21:05] <Dsgn> malsyned: after upgrading to karmic, sometimes an application "mutes" the rest of the other running applications.
[21:06] <redrebel> what happens when you do <CTRL>+z ?? does the program continue to run??
[21:06] <malsyned> Dsgn: eek.  That's not the same problem as mine though.
[21:06] <Idle0ne> hey guys when I install ubuntu 9.10 on my mac pro it boots to grub but it is at the grub rescue>
[21:06] <LeeFo> can someone send me broadcom_wireless-<IP_ADDRESS>-2xkp.exe for ndiswrapper?..one dl link is broken :-(
[21:06] <NehMoh> redrebel: no, it stops until you type "fg"
[21:06] <coi6644> tadpole: man, maybe ubuntu tries to install the last version. maybe if u try find 3.5 pkt it'll work
[21:06] <Idle0ne> is there a way at this prompt to tell it where the partition is?
[21:06] <NehMoh> redrebel: or bg
[21:07] <malsyned> MrPiracy: I know that one way to do it is to run gconf-editor, browse to apps/nautilus/preferences, and check always_use_browser
[21:07] <Idle0ne> I ask because I tried root (hd1,3) and it just said root unknown command
[21:07] <redrebel> NehMoh, so it's not like minimizing a window
[21:07] <Idle0ne> anyone have any ideas?
[21:07] <NehMoh> redrebel: if you do "ctrl+z", and then "bg", it will be the same
[21:08] <greezmunkey> When I check netstat, I see a lot of STREM entries, what does that usually mean?
[21:08] <NehMoh> redrebel: but if it outputs anythign you'll still see it, it's not hidden. it just lets you type other new commands while this one runs in background
[21:08] <mgv> where can i find a guide to install my graphic card?
[21:08] <malsyned> MrPiracy: to get the tree view for a single folder, right-click it and select "Browse Folder"
[21:08] <greezmunkey> Am I seeing this IRC connection mostly?
[21:08] <tadpole> coi6644: <tadpole> here, this should be easier
 could you help me find the 3.5 pkt please? im not even sure what it is or how to use it..
[21:08] <redrebel> NehMoh, thanx
[21:08] <MrPiracy> malsyned: having a look now, thx
[21:09] <Billiard> NehMoh: sorry havent messed with vbox in a few ubuntu versions, are you a member of the vboxusers group
 no doubt
[21:09] <guntbert> Xacarith: and we are talking about the account kessie ?
[21:09] <tadpole> coi6644: sorry?
[21:09] <NehMoh> Billiard: yes, actually it was working a few days back
[21:09] <NehMoh> Billiard: I think it's due to some hal upgrade, but so far I couldnt' figure out
[21:10] <NehMoh> Billiard: the previous mountdevfs scripts are gone too
[21:10] <NehMoh> somebody has been doing nasty stuff =(
[21:10] <setz> I seem to have screwed something up when moving to 9.10, the "open with" menu isn't remembering anything I put in, and there isn't the default checkbox. Its also saying file type is unknown (was a png in the screenshot): http://sj.arc-nova.org/b/Screenshot-Choose%20an%20Application.png
[21:10] <setz> anyone know a solution or am I better off posting on the forums for this?
[21:10] <Billiard> NehMoh: you are using the non open source version?
[21:10] <ventura> Hi everyone!
[21:10] <Xacarith> guntbert that would be the user name, yes
[21:10] <NehMoh> Billiard: yes, the OSE version doesn't support usb
[21:11] <Billiard> NehMoh: yea
[21:11] <shadowhywind>  I was wondering how would one go about mapping a keypress to a mouse button. (aka I have a side button on my mouse that I want to map to the alt key)
[21:11] <setz> I tried creating another user and it worked fine, so I know it has to be something user-specific
[21:11] <malsyned> OK, my sound problems are further-reaching.  When I try to play something with mpg321, I get "ALSA: underrun, at least 0ms" and it sounds unlistenable - all chop and jitter.
[21:11] <NehMoh> Billiard: worst is that this is my job work machine, so I really need to figure out asap
[21:11] <guntbert> Xacarith: strange, as I see it the settings are correct
[21:12] <MrPiracy> malsyned: yeah, "always use browser" .... that was it ;)
[21:12] <Artimus> Has anyone had trouble with 64-bit Firefox crashing in Karmic? This is with or without flash installed. The firefox window will "freeze" (It turns solid gray or transparent, like it's not being redrawn properly). I've tried removing flash, no difference.
[21:12] <Billiard> NehMoh: ill google see if i can find anything
[21:12] <malsyned> MrPiracy: Good!
[21:12] <NehMoh> Billiard: I already did. This channel was my last choice ;) what I don't know is why mount does not obbey fstab settings. It did in the past

[21:13] <MrPiracy> malsyned: now i am trying to put an icon for nautilus to the dock. added a launcher, but the icon appears and nothing happens when i click on it
[21:13] <ventura> I'm trying to use a sony md300 modem in ubuntu 9.10 but it's recognized only as pendrive. I've tried a couple of things from the internet, but nothing seems to work. Can anybody help me? Thank you.
[21:13] <NehMoh> Billiard: I think I'll resort to a sudo chmod script, handmade
[21:13] <NehMoh> or chown
[21:13] <usser_> ventura, unmount the pendrive, it should then detect it as a moded
[21:13] <Billiard> NehMoh: alright, a hack but itll prolly work
[21:13] <usser_> *modem
[21:13] <MrPiracy> malsyned: i put "nautilus" in the 3 text boxes when i created the launcher
[21:13] <NehMoh> Billiard: that's what I love from linux. Do it your way ;)
[21:14] <malsyned> MrPiracy: That's weird.  Never tried it.  Why not go to Places -> Home Folder when you want to launch Nautilus?
[21:14] <Xacarith> guntbert perhaps I should try a full restart.  And if that does not work consider the OS corrupted in some way that is not easily fixed...
[21:14] <malsyned> Oh good.  Solved all my sound problems by killing pulseaudio.
[21:15] <MrPiracy> malsyned: cos i was thinking of taking the panel out ... leaving just the dock at the bottom
[21:15] <greezmunkey> Whoa, It seems that most eveything running on this box has a tcp port assigned. Does that have something to do with making this box accessible over a network?
[21:15] <malsyned> MrPiracy: ah.  I've never used the dock.  so I'm not the guy to ask.
[21:15] <guntbert> Xacarith: no - don't worry, the file is not *very* important anyway - I'd just ignore it
[21:15] <MrPiracy> malsyned: alright, np ;) thx for ur help anyways
[21:15] <Xacarith> malsyned I actually have done that before, and installing the old EsounD
[21:16] <MrPiracy> malsyned: what sound problems were you having?
[21:16] <Xacarith> guntbert I read some where that it can be deleted and it will automatically be recreated.
[21:16] <malsyned> MrPiracy: mpg321 was unlistenably choppy.  Flash player sound cut out a few seconds after starting.
[21:17] <Billiard> NehMoh: did you try the VBOX_USB=USBFS VirtualBox
[21:17] <MrPiracy> malsyned: i am having lots of sound problems as well, just didnt get there yet ;)
[21:17] <guntbert> Xacarith: seems reasonable - instead of deleting I'd rename it to .dmrc-myoldversion or so...
[21:17] <malsyned> MrPiracy: well, I don't know how to fix my problem permanently, but try running "pulseaudio -k" and see if your problems go away.
[21:17] <Billiard> NehMoh: or actually you said the permissions werent getting set in the bus/usb that was the prob
[21:17] <MrPiracy> malsyned: as they say, first steps first
[21:18] <NehMoh> Billiard: I thought that was the issue, but even now that I changed permissions manually, it does not seem to be able to access it. it says there's no usbfs
[21:18] <Xacarith> guntbert putting old or bck onto it is the typical way of doing it I think
[21:18] <Riotta> is here any Ubuntu 9.10 user which got A4Tech mouse?
[21:18] <Riotta> please pm me
[21:18] <torgeir> Hi! I have a big problem, i cant install mscorefonts from ubuntu-restricted-extras and now every time i try to install something else it also tries to install the fonts, how do I remove this from apt-get ??
[21:18] <Billiard> NehMoh: so do the devices show up for you to choose in the menus? but greyed out
[21:18] <MrPiracy> malsyned: i dont have choppy problems, i just wanted to find a way to play two different lines to the out jacks in the back and in the front
[21:18] <guntbert> Xacarith: whatever you like and remember
[21:19] <MrPiracy> malsyned: this same card works fine in windows and used to work in feisty, so i know it's possible
[21:19] <NehMoh> Billiard: what... what does that envvar do?
[21:19] <NehMoh> NehMoh: now it works
[21:20] <jcrawford> ok I am once again attempting an install from the live cd, there is no reason this mac pro should not run Ubuntu it runs perfectly fine under Live CD
[21:20] <Enissay> Hi guys, i moved my gnome panel to the right edge of the screen and activated "auto-hide" option, now i can't see it at all!! how can i move it back to it's old place please?
[21:20] <gnutoo> Billiard, I'll reboot to be shure it's taken into account
[21:20] <Billiard> NehMoh: talking to yourself? cool what did you do to make it workin
[21:20] <MrPiracy> Enissay: are you sure it's still running? didnt it crash?
[21:21] <xiaolindraconis> hello room
[21:22] <torgeir> could someone help me out here please, im sure this is an easy fix. I tried Installing ubuntu-restricted-extras but it couldnt find te mscore fonts, now it tries to download them from sourceforge _every_ time I try to install something thru apt-get.. how do i "clean" apt get and make this go away? I tried apt-get remove ubuntu-restricted-extras but its still doing it!
[21:22] <NehMoh> Billiard: ouch, it must be stress ;)   Yes, after changing permissions it still failed accessing, until I exported VBOX_USB. Sounds like it fails if I don't tell it explicitly to use USBFS? very strange. Anyway, thanks
[21:22] <Enissay> MrPiracy, yes it still there, when i show desktop, windows went there
[21:23] <slide> I had to restart my other server that i was sharing files via samba, now my laptop wont recognize the server b/c the ip address changed. is there anyway to fix this?
[21:23] <xiaolindraconis> i tried a network install of UE 2.4 but its not in the kernels list
[21:23] <Billiard> NehMoh: not really sure but im guessing it uses something other than usbfs without that, so was the fstab usb permissions working afterall
[21:23] <guntbert> xiaolindraconis: what is UE?
[21:23] <Guest37767> torgeir, system>administration>software sources
[21:23] <xiaolindraconis> ultimate edition for gamers
[21:24] <xiaolindraconis> its just a 9.04 with extras pre installed
[21:24] <jelg> hello... it appears the last firefox update screwed up my firefox installation...?
[21:24] <jelg> on 9.10
[21:24] <NehMoh> Billiard: it has two options. Using Hal DBUS interface or USBFS. And sounds like after finding Hal and failing, it claims both do not exist
[21:24] <Enissay> haha, got it finally :P
[21:24] <NehMoh> I think I should file a bug on it
[21:25] <Enissay> thanks MrPiracy :)
[21:25] <jason> hi
[21:25] <NehMoh> (for virtualbox)
[21:25] <Guest37767> torgeir: you there?
[21:25] <jelg> got firefox 3.5 working on ubuntu 9.10?
[21:26] <Benedicht> i am on youtube with it
[21:26] <xiaolindraconis> i have 8.10 installed and copied contents of cd and got it to boot and install. but now after reboot the new OS isnt in the kernels list anyone got an idea?
[21:26] <Benedicht> works great
[21:26] <MrPiracy> Enissay: what was it?
[21:27] <xiaolindraconis> jelg: you can try removing firefox pkg and re-installing
[21:27] <jelg> xialindraconis: I tried that.. removed every package with firefox in it
[21:27] <Guest37767> xiaolindraconis, did you edit grub?
[21:27] <bftgr> I got a problem with my 2 monitors, i put them next to each other and displaying seperate screens, but now, when i'm trying to move windows from 1 display to the other, i cant, because it stays on the same monitor(with compiz the cube rotates), but i can move the mouse on both monitors.
[21:27] <xiaolindraconis> only edited grub once
[21:27] <malsyned> jelg: try moving your .mozilla folder out of the way to see if that clears things up too.
[21:28] <xiaolindraconis> when adding "installer" line
[21:28] <jelg> malsyned: thnx will try!
[21:28] <malsyned> jelg: and if that doesn't work, try the reinstall again, but do it with --purge so that the files in /etc will also get removed.
[21:29] <Enissay> MrPiracy, I have no idea, I'm runing in dual screen, so i just moved my screen to the left so the panel became in the middle, then i disabled the "auto-hide" option
[21:29] <Enissay> :/
[21:29] <jelg> malsyned: the rm -rf .mozilla didn't do the trick.. my firefox opens up extremly small (a few pixels wide).. enlarging it shows just a blank window
[21:29] <MrPiracy> oh ok
[21:30] <jelg> malsyned: will try the --purge as well
[21:30] <cankoy> torgeir: sudo apt-get remove ttf-mscorefonts-installer
[21:30] <ibqn> after upgrade to 9.10 i am not able to mount a samba share for guests for people without a user/pass account.. does anybody ran into this? I am talking about guest sharing in nautilus-samba extension...
[21:31] <Random832> i keep getting [18948.872595] ata3: softreset failed (device not ready)
[21:31] <Rods_Tiger> what other linux distributions use grub2?
[21:31] <xiaolindraconis> will someone help me manually add a kernel to my grub menu
[21:31] <xiaolindraconis> please?
[21:32] <Dsgn> Random832: me too
[21:32] <guntbert> !ot | Rods_Tiger
[21:32] <Dsgn> Random832: but i think it's bios related
[21:32] <Rods_Tiger> that's pretty much answered my next question. Thanks. Bye all.
[21:33] <Billiard> xiaolindraconis: add them to /etc/grub.d/40_custom  i believe
[21:33] <nevets04> Can someone give me an example of a bash loop that loops 1k times?
[21:33] <xiaolindraconis> huh?
[21:34] <chris__> hello i am trying dd if=dev/zero bs=3M count=2 |netcat myIP 2222 > test.log, but i get only the message on the console
[21:34] <twisted_> dudes.. im bored
[21:34] <cankoy> nevets04: /join #bash
[21:34] <chris__> anyone can help me there?
[21:34] <twisted_> sitting in this stupid class
[21:34] <guntbert> !ot | twisted_
[21:34] <chris__> nothing got written to the log
[21:34] <libtech> twisted_, stfu
[21:34] <guntbert> libtech: that is uncalled for
[21:35] <libtech> guntbert | !ot
[21:35] <twisted_> libtech, your let you  tiny dick syndrome show....  the others were more than clear
[21:35] <jelg> hmm.. seems it wants to remove some eclipse stuff too!
[21:35] <Pirate_Hunter> using Virtualbox dont wish to create a new hard disk but instead use the current one with a different name, used command cp foobar.vdi foobarzp.vdi however I can't attach the new hd to a session apparently both hds have the same UUID is there a way for me to fix this or clone/copy the orginal hd as a new file?
[21:35] <BluesKaj> !language | twisted_
[21:36] <guntbert> Pirate_Hunter: vboxmanage clonehd .... (see manual)
[21:37] <greezmunkey> Looping example: http://paste.ubuntu.com/318899/
[21:37] <DragonLinux> hey all im just messing with the new ubuntu
[21:37] <gorlak_> anyone seen any issues with 9.10 where after install, the system doesnt like to boot up into the display mode? (worked in 9.04 just fine) says something like failed while handling etc?
[21:37] <Pirate_Hunter> guntbert: will do thanks
[21:38] <guntbert> Pirate_Hunter: you're welcome :-) and you know there is #vbox too?
[21:38] <nevets04> thanks greezmunkey
[21:38] <pvl1> can anyone answer a question about cloud computing
[21:38] <jelg> malsyned: didn't work with --purge either :-(
[21:39] <malsyned> jelg: well I'm out of ideas.
[21:39] <malsyned> sorry
[21:39] <DragonLinux> im having problems with ALT-TAB and switching between running apps. i used to be able to alt-tab to go forward in the list, and alt-shift-tab to go back. but alt-shift-tab doesnt do anything. is it a different key combo now?
[21:39] <_Narc_> Hey everyone. I need your help figuring out why Miro is triggering SYN flood messages and syslog and possibly messing with the kernel... Thanks
[21:40] <Dsgn> gorlak_: i had that issue and solved it by installing the kernel modules of the proprietary ati driver
[21:41] <guntbert> !ask | pvl1
[21:42] <Jordan_U> IdleOne: At the rescue shell does "ls" show your drive?
[21:42] <gorlak_> i have nvidia, so install the nvidia drivers then?
[21:42] <pvl1> guntbert, i already asked in #ubuntu-server, ty tho
[21:43] <gorlak_> almost the same thing happens in the livecd tho too, though for that it takes like 10 minutes to boot upto a desktop
[21:43] <danm_> Hi all. Anyone know why i get no audible sound, despite absolultely no errors, alsa being fine, and alsamixer showing nothing at all is muted? This is a minimal setup with just alsa and no pulseaudio.
[21:43] <gorlak_> but it does, with the cd at least boot to desktop, when installed to the hd it just doesnt launch gui
[21:44] <Dsgn> gorlak_: installing the nvidia drivers could help
[21:44] <dgs> i'm having a few issues getting dual boot (win xp + 9.10) working. I did a fresh install of both (xp first on /dev/sdb1, ubuntu second on /dev/sda1). However, grub is failing to pick up the windows install. update-grub and update-grub2 run okay - but also only find the ubuntu install (+ memtest).  the windows install mounts okay under linux, and looks to be fine....
[21:45] <dgs> i've looked in /var/log/installer/syslog, and it also mounted /dev/sdb1 fine, but doesn't say anything about finding a windows install on there
[21:45] <epyon7788> I need help with a simple script. I made some scpt files to run xwinwrap backgrounds. I have like 10 in one directory and I simply want to run one of those 10 randomly at startup. I'm thinking this is like 1 or 2 lines, but I have no idea where to start. I'm not good with scripts.
[21:45] <jelg> "firefox -no-remote" seems to work
[21:46] <Guest7294> has anyone with an eeepc been able to get their mics to work
[21:46] <dgs> is there any way to force a windows entry be added onto /boot/grub/grub.cfg? I've tried adding one manually, but it doesn't seem to get detected...
[21:46] <Guest7294> anyone have an eeepc netbook?
[21:46] <jongbergs> !ghost
[21:46] <epinky> Guest7294: eee1000?
[21:47] <soul-d> not quite but playing with an acer one netbook
[21:47] <byroenet> no i don't have
[21:47]  * byroenet toshiba
[21:47] <Guest7294> have you been able to get the mic to work
[21:47] <Guest7294> i cnat get mine to work on my eeepc
[21:48] <Guest7294> i have the asus 1005
[21:48] <embrik> dns-adresse keeps on changing in /etc/resolv.conf Where does this come from? I'm talking about my hardy server - just working as a router to give ip-addresse, chare a printer and internet
[21:48] <jelg> I am trying to set up an ubuntu box as an "internet TV" for my mother-in-law (yes!); have investigated different options.. not really found a real winner... "miro" seems to be the best doing what I want but the UI is not ok for a TV (or for my mother in law for that matter :-)
[21:48] <derek1> is there any keyboard shortcut for moving and resizing a window to the left/right half of the screen?
[21:48] <BluesKaj> dgs, sudo update-grub
[21:48] <soul-d> i saw it in the audio thingy  but out of luck  just doing a flash of usb thingy with ubuntu for netbooks  but usb-create is slow :S
[21:49] <embrik> Why is my /etc/resolv.conf changing?
[21:49] <jelg> miro with a different front-end would be great
[21:49] <epinky> Guest7294: http://www.greenhughes.com/content/ubuntu-netbook-remix-asus-eee-pc
[21:49] <dgs> BluesKaj:  that is the program i'm having trouble with - it's not detecting the windows partition
[21:49] <guntbert> epyon7788: ask in #bash
[21:49] <Dsgn> dgs: you'll have to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add an entry for your windows installation, you kan find those indstructions in the file itself
[21:49] <Dsgn> can*
[21:50] <epyon7788> thank you guntbert
[21:50] <dgs> Dsgn: there is no menu.lst with grub2 - it's grub.cfg and it's automatically generated from /etc/grub.d  ...
[21:50] <khaliq> hey i have a question
[21:50] <blackmamba23> hi all
[21:50] <guntbert> dgs: and from /etc/default/grub
[21:50] <dgs> dgsn: i've tried adding the old style windows chainloader to the end of the grub.cfig, but it's just not detected
[21:50] <dgs> guntbert: yup =)
[21:50] <khaliq> my windows computer died, so i loaded an ubuntu live cd, is there a way i can make a disk image and then restore that to the partition?
[21:51] <Dsgn> dsg: i didn't know that, i'm not familier with grub 2
[21:51] <dgs> Dsgn: me neither =/
[21:51] <Dr_Willis> khaliq:  image what exactly?
[21:51] <Dsgn> dsg: you could downgrade to legacy grub...
[21:52] <blackmamba23> my grub is loading very slow// i installed it on the mbr of the driv and with a dualboot with windows  7 is this resolvable ????
[21:52] <khaliq> Dr_Willis: the windows partition of my internal HDD
[21:52] <Dr_Willis> blackmamba23:  ive noticed on 1 of my machines. grub takes 10+ sec to get to the grub menu.. Not sure why this pc is that slow. quirk in the bios i think, Grub1 even had issues
[21:52] <guntbert> khaliq: have you seen clonezilla ?
[21:52] <dgs> Dsgn: yeah,  i may have to. there must be a way to force grub2 to add it though =/
[21:53] <Dr_Willis> khaliq:  theres numerous tools to image a 'partition' or whold drive.
[21:53] <embrik> where do I write dns-server's addresse? I have sritten it in /etc/resolv.conf - but it changes all the time, back to my old ISP's dns
[21:53] <Dr_Willis> khaliq:  what are you going to do once you image it?
[21:53] <tadpole> i have a flash player 10 .tar.bz2 file that i want to install. can somebody please tell me how to do this
[21:53] <embrik> sritten = written
[21:53] <khaliq> yes i know
[21:53] <Dr_Willis> tadpole:  its best to use the flash from the repos.
[21:53] <khaliq> but would i be able to, restore that after reformatting the partition
[21:53] <blackmamba23> Dr_Willis: i dont think is my pc's fault , i have a wd sata 10000 rpm hard drive and a quad core system
[21:54] <khaliq> i.e. copy it back and boot windows again?
[21:54] <oddhyena> hi
[21:54] <cankoy> dgs: does 'sudo os-prober' return anything?
[21:54] <Dr_Willis> blackmamba23:  its more of an issue of the bios seeing the drives and working with grub. from what ive noticed.  hard drive speeds dont matter
[21:54] <tadpole> Dr_Willis: I did that, but firefox 3.6 won't play flash videos or anything
[21:54] <oddhyena> are there any applications for ubuntu that can create an encrypted disk image file and I can mount only with a password?
[21:54] <dgs> cankoy: no, which is i suspect the root cause. but i can't find any documention on os-prober ...
[21:54] <Dr_Willis> tadpole:   Using the tar.gz stuff may mess things up even more.
[21:54] <blackmamba23> Dr_Willis: so no fix for this ??
[21:55] <dgs> cankoy: do you know if there is a verbose option or something?
[21:55] <Dr_Willis> 3.6? is 3.6 out?
[21:55] <tadpole> Dr_Willis: can you please help me get flash working then, because i've been at this for a really long time. thanks a bunch :)
[21:55] <Dr_Willis> blackmamba23:   check the grub forums and stuff perhaps someone may have some things to trouble shoot/look for. It might be some bios tweak  ive not noticved
[21:55] <cankoy> dgs: no, it doesn't have options afaik. have a look https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2
[21:56] <Dr_Willis> tadpole:  all i ever do to get flash working is install ubuntu, install ubuntu-restricted-extras  and reboot.. it works on 3 pc;s here
[21:56] <chelsae> hello
[21:56] <Dr_Willis> Hmm firefox is 3.5.5 here. not 3.6
[21:56] <tadpole> Dr_Willis: Do i do sudo apt-get install ubuntu
[21:56] <Dr_Willis> tadpole:  you INSTALLED the ubuntu OS allready Im guessing..,
[21:56] <Dr_Willis> !info firefox
[21:56] <tadpole> Dr_Willis: or sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[21:57] <tadpole> yes, im running ubuntu right now...
[21:57] <JonGP> tadpole, google for ubuntu-restricted-extras :P
[21:57] <khaliq> Dr_Willis: anyways, I'll give filezilla a try, thanks for the help!
[21:57] <Dr_Willis> tadpole:  after i install ubuntu on my pc. the first thing I install is 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' package
[21:57] <khaliq> i mean clonezilla*
[21:57] <Dr_Willis> second thing i install is  Frozenbubble :)
[21:57] <greezmunkey> tadpole, apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras, I believe he means...
[21:57] <tadpole> greezmunkey: thank you
[21:57] <Transcend>  irc.sypheurs.com
[21:57] <chelsae> iam new user of ubuntu karmic i install windows on virtualbox i need play windows games in vertualbox please help me for this
