[09:25] <alexbobP> IsUp: on box A, do "sshfs boxb:/directory /destination"
[09:25] <IsUp> alexbobP: i am using it too but is there any other solution?
[09:25] <well_laid_lawn> Ileden: did you check   top   in terminal to what was using system resources?
[09:25] <Ileden> As my problem seems like a memory leak, I've tried to hunt it down, but I see no process taking up unusual amounts of memory.
[09:25] <IsUp> yes, sshfs root@host:/dir /dest
[09:26] <alexbobP> IsUp: there's NFS, which is probably harder to configure
[09:26] <phlak_user> IsUp: NFS is another option
[09:26] <phlak_user> IsUp: samba is also available
[09:26] <Ileden> well_laid_lawn: my "top" skills are a bit limited. what should I take into account there?
[09:26] <IsUp> ah
[09:26] <IsUp> okay, sshfs is simple :D
[09:26] <well_laid_lawn> Ileden: top  has a column for mem usage
[09:26] <alexbobP> IsUp: as I said, sshfs is my favorite way ;)
[09:27] <IsUp> thank you
[09:27] <theadmin> Hm, Firefox just won't start. Starting it, it appears and poof - it's gone! And killall firefox gives "firefox - no process found"
[09:27] <alexbobP> IsUp: if it's the password prompt that's bugging you, you might set up ssh keys
[09:27] <phlak_user> theadmin: starting it from a terminal will throw up the error
[09:27] <Merwin> re
[09:27] <Procule> theadmin, it's firefox-bin usually
[09:27] <well_laid_lawn> theadmin: it is    killall -v firefox-bin
[09:27] <theadmin> well_laid_lawn: Uh, firefox always worked before
[09:28] <theadmin> Never mind, it started when I did it from terminal o_o
[09:28] <IsUp> alexbobP: yes, i did it. i am already using sshfs as i said, thank you.
[09:28] <well_laid_lawn> theadmin: never worked here since warty
[09:28] <Ileden> well_laid_lawn: which column is relevant? VIRT RES SHR %MEM (they all have to do with memory, right?)
[09:28] <Procule> theadmin, you will see the error if it crashes.
[09:28] <theadmin> well_laid_lawn: Are you using the Ubuntu firefox release or from their PPA/site?
[09:28] <well_laid_lawn> Ileden: the mem one
[09:28] <alexbobP> Does anybody know how to do an encrypted install of ubuntu from a flash drive?
[09:28] <well_laid_lawn> theadmin: from ubuntu
[09:29] <theadmin> well_laid_lawn: :/ Works here I tell ya
[09:29] <alexbobP> I need the alternate cd to do an encrypted install (if I'm not mistaken), and the alternate cd doesn't work with unetbootin
[09:29] <well_laid_lawn> theadmin: you mean worked? :]
[09:29] <Merwin> phlak_user, I did some test with plymouth and upstart: I create a perso.conf file in /etc/init with this inside: http://pastebin.com/fP8nZGn1 - But nothing is shown during the boot
[09:29] <Merwin> Upstart and plymouth are both very bad documented :/
[09:29] <theadmin> well_laid_lawn: It does work: "killall firefox" just works now. The weird not starting is solved thanks, now the command works as before
[09:29] <well_laid_lawn> theadmin: use the   -v   option with killall firefox
[09:30] <Ileden> well_laid_lawn: nothing too weird there as far as I understand. thunderbird-bin 4.6, soffice-bin 4.1, prism-bin 2.3 are the largest.
[09:30] <sr_rules> i can't access the itunes share on my lan from Rhythmbox but they are accessible from itunes. Any idea??
[09:30] <theadmin> well_laid_lawn: -v?
[09:30] <alexbobP> it's so hard to get support in here, if the 3 people who see your question before it scrolls off the screen don't know :(
[09:30] <ikonia> sr_rules: itunes is a proriptary tool
[09:30] <well_laid_lawn> theadmin: for verbose
[09:30] <theadmin> well_laid_lawn: ...how can kill/killall/pkill be verbose :/
[09:30] <vyom> how we access mdb file in ubuntu
[09:30] <alexbobP> sr_rules: are you sure there aren't any firewalls in the way?
[09:30] <well_laid_lawn> theadmin: man killall
[09:30] <vyom> please help eme out
[09:30] <alexbobP> sr_rules: are you on the same subnet as the itunes share?
[09:31] <ikonia>  /last vyom
[09:31] <sr_rules> no i doesn't have any firewall installed
[09:31] <vyom> ya ikonia
[09:31] <ikonia> vyom: I'm not sure if linux has a tool that can read microsoft access files
[09:31] <sr_rules> yes
[09:31] <Ileden> well_laid_lawn: and the slowdown persists even when closing the top applications.
[09:31] <theadmin> vyom: There is some "MDB viewer" in Ubuntu Software Center
[09:31] <phlak_user> Merwin: like i said before, I dont know anything about customizing plymouth; sorry
[09:31] <Merwin> okay :/
[09:32] <sr_rules> alexbobp : I can access those shares from itunes when i am using windows
[09:32] <Merwin> Does somebody could help me with plymouth and upstart?
[09:32] <vyom> ya its is mdb-tools gmdb
[09:32] <vyom> it is
[09:32] <alexbobP> sr_rules: ah, so it's from the same computer
[09:32] <alexbobP> sr_rules: I dunno then... must be a bug in rhythmbox if it's supposed to be able to access itunes shares
[09:32] <alexbobP> sr_rules: maybe try another media player like amarok?
[09:32] <ikonia> vyom: if you know the tools, why are you asking how to access ?
[09:32] <well_laid_lawn> Ileden: next check is in terminal type   free -m   and look at the buffers/cache line - is all the mem used?
[09:32] <vyom> commands to access the tols
[09:33] <void_pointer> I tried to run Visual Studio 2010 under Wine and it didn't work all proper like. Is it possible to get my money back for ubuntu?
[09:33] <vyom> actually i am new to linux
[09:33] <alexbobP> void_pointer: sure, here ya go
[09:33]  * alexbobP gives void_pointer his money back
[09:33] <ikonia> void_pointer: don't be silly - you know it's fre
[09:33] <ikonia> free
[09:33] <Night_Elf`food> lol void_pointer ?
[09:33] <alexbobP> ikonia: too late, I just gave him all of it
[09:33] <jibadeeha> anyone here have issues playing DVDs in totem
[09:34] <alexbobP> jibadeeha: this is just my opinion, so ymmv... but totem sucks.  use vlc ;)
[09:34] <vyom> help me
[09:34] <alexbobP> never had issues playing dvds with vlc
[09:34] <alexbobP> vyom: I'll help you if you help me!
[09:34] <Ileden> well_laid_lawn: I'm not sure how to interpret that, but the first line is "total 2013, used 1507, free 505, shared 0, buffers 662, cached 467"
[09:34] <jibadeeha> alexbobP, have you completely removed totem from ubuntu?
[09:34] <void_pointer> ikonia free as in beer?
[09:34] <theadmin> void_pointer: Free as in freedom.
[09:34] <ikonia> vyom: read the man pages for mdb-tools
[09:34] <ikonia> vyom: stop messing around
[09:34] <alexbobP> jibadeeha: I have uninstalled it just so firefox wouldn't run it by default
[09:34] <well_laid_lawn> vyom: if you asked your question on one line it might help
[09:34] <ikonia> vyom: sorry - not you
[09:34] <vyom> om
[09:34] <vyom> ok
[09:34] <ikonia> void_pointer: stop messing around
[09:34] <Night_Elf`food> void_pointer: but if you so like, as in beer too
[09:34] <vyom> i will
[09:34] <void_pointer> hmm I'll ask Stallman
[09:34] <alexbobP> jibadeeha: even when I use kde, firefox uses gnome's default file associations... very annoying
[09:35] <jibadeeha> aleksil, i use chrome so i wonder if it would use vlc plugin if any
[09:35] <vishpoison> hey another problem m having.. its tomcat now..
[09:35] <teklib> hello
[09:35] <vishpoison> i installed tomcat using steps on this page http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=226828
[09:35] <well_laid_lawn> Ileden: the next line has buffers/cache near the start - under the "free' column is there much left
[09:35] <lindsaymobil22> Im gonna be upgrading to windows 7 and i was wondering has anyone tried out ubuntu 10.04 Wubi orLinux mint 9 Mint4Win? do they work fine with windows 7?
[09:35] <alexbobP> void_pointer: moar trollan?
[09:35] <jibadeeha> aleksil, i agree that totem sucks though ... will give vlc a go
[09:35] <ikonia> alexbobP: stop trying to start him
[09:35] <Illuminatus> hi, I have a question, do you know If I can clasify the differents kinds of spam (phising, malware, scam,...). I don't just want to get the spam mail I want to clasify them
[09:35] <vishpoison> and its not working.. the startup command works
[09:35] <Illuminatus> I'm making a research about spam and I want to install spamassasin but I think it can't do that exactly
[09:35] <vishpoison> but i cant access the localhost
[09:36] <Ileden> well_laid_lawn: "-/+ buffers/cache: used 377, free 1636"
[09:36] <void_pointer> ikonia I found him. He asked why I was using ubuntu when they kept breaking the rules of free software. I told him I couldn't ask because I'd get kicked and have to hang out in #debian again
[09:36] <alexbobP> Illuminatus: classifying malware spam is easy... find ones with executable code
[09:36] <alexbobP> Illuminatus: phishing vs scam?  i dunno, those sound like the same
[09:36] <Ileden> well_laid_lawn: swap is total 5836, used 0, free 5836
[09:36] <well_laid_lawn> Ileden: it has 1636mB of memory free - so it is not a memory used up issue then
[09:37] <theadmin> Breaking rules of free software... what a troll... it's full GPL... :/
[09:37] <Illuminatus> alexbobP: I mean, I want to classify the differents kind of spam (junk spam for example, phising, virus)
[09:37] <Illuminatus> but I want something to clasify automaticly
[09:37] <Ileden> well_laid_lawn: Ok. What else could cause a slowdown after some usage time?
[09:37] <vishpoison> hey another problem m having.. its tomcat now..
[09:38] <vishpoison> i installed tomcat using steps on this page http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=226828
[09:38] <alexbobP> Illuminatus: clamav
[09:38] <vishpoison> but i cant access the localhost
[09:38] <vishpoison> the startup command works
[09:38] <Illuminatus> alexbobP: postfix+ clamav + spamassasing ?
[09:38] <alexbobP> Illuminatus: sure.
[09:38] <well_laid_lawn> Ileden: in terminal run   top   again and look at the third line from the top that starts with Cpu - there is a value for %id near the middle of that line - how much?
[09:39] <alexbobP> okay, nobody here knows about the alternate installer I guess
[09:39] <lindsaymobil22> everyone: Im gonna be upgrading to windows 7 and i was wondering has anyone tried out ubuntu 10.04 Wubi orLinux mint 9 Mint4Win? do they work fine with windows 7?
[09:39] <alexbobP> bye bye
[09:39] <Illuminatus> alexbobP: but spamassasin just clasify spam or normal mail
[09:39] <theadmin> lindsaymobil22: Uhm. We don't support Windows, but as for WUBI - it works
[09:39] <alexbobP> lindsaymobil22: I haven't actually tried wubi with win7, but I'm pretty sure it still works, I'd try it
[09:39] <Illuminatus> but I want to have differents folders and sort each kind of spam in those folders
[09:39] <Ileden> well_laid_lawn: %id is jumping around 90
[09:40] <lindsaymobil22> alexbobP: its just becos im using wubi 9.04 and vista sp2 and im gonna upgrade and im not sure about wubi 10.04 or linux mint 9 mint4win
[09:41] <lindsaymobil22> people on the forums complain 9.10 messed up the 7 bootloader
[09:41] <well_laid_lawn> Ileden: that means you are using around 10% of the cpu - so that is not the issue
[09:42] <Ileden> well_laid_lawn: this could be some sort of display adapter issue (as what I see getting jerky is window management stuff, and mouse responsiveness) but none of the fixes I've tried (swithging between "radeon" and "ati" in xorg.conf, using a PPA fix provided for the bug #444139) haven't helped.
[09:42] <well_laid_lawn> Ileden: do you have a xorg.conf file?
[09:43] <Ileden> well_laid_lawn: yes. thouhg I haven't modified it myself, other than switching the radeon/ati driver
[09:43] <lindsaymobil22> has anyone tried the new mint4win? im not sure about it because of what happened with mint 8 and the grub2 error
[09:43] <lindsaymobil22> ive been to the forums, nothing there
[09:43] <IdleOne> !mint | lindsaymobil22
[09:44] <ikonia> lindsaymobil22: mint is not supported here
[09:44] <well_laid_lawn> Ileden: k - do you know the vid card?

[09:44] <lindsaymobil22> k thanx
[09:44] <hsetiM> IsUp, i also want to know which is device are used for net connection means router or switch
[09:45] <IsUp> hsetiM, i think you need a basic networking course or something
[09:45] <Ileden> well_laid_lawn: my xorg.conf at http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/UW81jVBg
[09:45] <IsUp> i dont know internet connection sharing on Ubuntu
[09:45] <hsetiM> yes i know but its an urgent i know some basic but iam still confuse
[09:45] <ikonia> hsetiM: what do you want ?
[09:45] <Ileden> well_laid_lawn: lspci says " ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200] (rev 01)"
[09:45] <IsUp> basicly, you need a router or switch, dhcp server
[09:46] <Ileden> well_laid_lawn: (which is correct)
[09:46] <well_laid_lawn> Ileden: tried commenting the line   Option          "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps"   ? - a comment is a # at the start of the line
[09:47] <Ileden> well_laid_lawn: need to restart after that, I assume?
[09:47] <hsetiM>  i think my linux server to connect to router but i am confuse in clients means i can connect my clients to router or switch
[09:47] <hsetiM> ikonia, IsUp  i think my linux server to connect to router but i am confuse in clients means i can connect my clients to router or switch
[09:47] <ikonia> hsetiM: clients need to be on the same nework as your server, it doesn't matter how
[09:47] <well_laid_lawn> Ileden: or just restart gdm - sudo service gdm restart
[09:48] <Ileden> well_laid_lawn: problem is, at least full system restart makes the problem go away for some time, so further troubleshooting will have to wait an hour or so :)
[09:48] <tomoyat1> Quit:
[09:49] <hsetiM> ikonia,  i have a 1 linux server n 15 win7 clients n now i want to setup them i know all dhcp nat samba but iam confuse in h/w means where router is required oor whrere switch is required
[09:49] <ikonia> hsetiM: then you need to get someone who understands your network to help you
[09:49] <ikonia> hsetiM: that is not an ubuntu issue, so nothing to do with this channel
[09:49] <Ileden> well_laid_lawn: then again, if it could fix the issue, it's well worth trying. I'll do that and get back here if/when it reappeard?
[09:49] <Ileden> *reappears?
[09:49] <well_laid_lawn> k
[09:50] <hsetiM> ikonia, hey man can you suggest me any channel
[09:50] <ikonia> sorry, no
[09:52] <hsetiM> i have ubuntu 10.04 lucid lynx as server which is connected to net with 2 eth0 card and i want to connect all my win 7 client machine to server so which device is used for that purpose
[09:53] <ikonia> hsetiM: stop asking
[09:53] <ikonia> hsetiM: I've told you it's nothing to do with this channel
[09:53] <hsetiM> ikonia, ok
[09:53] <xnixan> Hi, is there any way to convert xml files to .ods (Openoffice spread sheet)?
[09:53] <augustl> The output of "sudo apt-get install xen-tools". What's going on here? http://sprunge.us/fhEi
[09:54] <well_laid_lawn> hsetiM: there is ##networking for that
[09:54] <augustl> it is refered to by ubuntu-xen-server afaik, in case that matters
[09:54] <zipper> any1 know how to connect to my phone's memory card?
[09:55] <augustl> oh it also says "E: Package xen-tools has no installation candidate."
[09:56] <zipper> any1 knows how to open phone's memory card????
[09:56] <augustl> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xen-meta/+bug/540110 - no comments or any progress at all, odd
[09:56] <ikonia> zipper: should be able to just mount it if your phone supports mass-storage mode
[09:56] <airtonix> xnixan, i imagine that there is some python libs in the repos to deal with openoffice
[09:56] <zipper> ikonia: how do i do that?
[09:56] <napnap> hi
[09:56] <ikonia> depends on your phone, research if your phone supports mass-storage mode
[09:57] <airtonix> xnixan, if you are comfortable with creating python shell scripts then you could simply create a nautilus script to convert it
[09:57] <xnixan> airtonix, thanks, i will check it :)
[09:57] <airtonix> xnixan, first thing i check is apt-cache search openoffice | grep python
[09:58] <zipper> ikonia: i am using a htc snap
[09:58] <zipper> ikonia: i done research didn't show much online
[09:58] <hsetiM> well_laid_lawn, thanks
[09:58] <xXedixXx> Hello, can anyone message me and helpe me compile some source code with cMake please?
[09:58] <ikonia> zipper: I'm not personally interested in your phone, you need to research if it supports mass storage mode, then connect it to your ubuntu machine and it should show up as a storage device for you to just mount
[09:58] <zipper> ikonia: i have connected it but it shows nothing
[09:59] <xnixan> airtonix, thanks a lot, that would cut the way!
[09:59] <ikonia> zipper: then it probably doesn't support it
[09:59] <zipper> ikonia: only that it connects to the internet's wired network
[10:00] <ikonia> zipper: it probably doesn't support it

[10:09] <Visseroth> Anyone have any luck running ubuntu on a x58 chipset running NVidia cards?
[10:09] <corinth> bazhang, Nah, leaving Ubuntu is fine. I just want to remove KDE.

[10:20] <MrChris> I Installed PHP5 onto my server. I tried to browse to a php web page and it comes up with a download page. How do i make it so i shows php pages when i browse to them?
[10:20] <rabby> how to make a process to run independently from the parent process that opened it?
[10:20] <Lefantomedurezo> but when I send a Xterm to gnomepanel, it close and open again
[10:20] <llutz> MrChris: /j #httpd         (a2enmod php5)
[10:20] <well_laid_lawn> rabby: in konsole?
[10:21] <oCean_> MrChris: if you are talking about YOUR webserver, a site running on your machine, you have to configure apache. Or are you talking about surfing the internet to a PHP site?
[10:22] <_nobody_> mustafa_: and?
[10:22] <rabby> well_laid_lawn: i want to restart X, but sbackup got started by a process in X :-(
[10:22] <rabby> well_laid_lawn: i just want it to go on running...
[10:22] <well_laid_lawn> rabby: add a space then a & to the end of it
[10:23] <rabby> well_laid_lawn: it's started by a gnome app...
[10:23] <rabby> well_laid_lawn: not by me in console
[10:23] <well_laid_lawn> rabby: hard to say then - what app starts it?
[10:24] <well_laid_lawn> just x?
[10:24] <rabby> simple-backup-config (in X/gnome) -> starts sbackup (console)
[10:25] <well_laid_lawn> rabby: from the name name it might be a shell script - you might find an option in there if it is - the best i can offer sorry - someone else might have a clue
[10:28] <SauLus> I lost an openoffice file today. Its corrupted, nothing in there. I need to get it back!!
[10:28] <CuriosTiger> Howdy all. I'm running lucid in a virtual machine, but my desired screen resolution does not take effect until I actually log in. Both the boot sequence and the gnome-session login screen are stuck at 640x480, and apparently, using the vga= parameter to the kernel (via grub) is both deprecated and ineffective.
[10:28] <SauLus> I had a look at ~/.openoffice.org/3/user/backup/ but its empty.
[10:29] <SauLus> I think I have to grep through my ext4 file system. Is there any chance that I can get my file back?
[10:29] <oCean_> SauLus: why you say it is corrupted? Or was that the message at startup?
[10:30] <Procule> CuriosTiger, the boot sequence is normal if you did not load and select a proper module, for gdm you should have that option in System/Administration
[10:30] <SauLus> oCean_: it was the message at startup
[10:30] <SauLus> the recovering results to an empty file
[10:31] <oCean_> SauLus: that sounds bad
[10:31] <bradpitt> aloha. on unr/une Lucid. some applications window just too big and i can't resize it. how to make it fit with small netbook screen?
[10:32] <oCean_> SauLus: and you can not find it anywhere?
[10:33] <CuriosTiger> Procule: Where in System->Administration?
[10:33] <leagris> Hello, does Ubuntu Gnome Keyring support pam module and why it is not enabled by default. Do you thing it is a security rick having gnome keyring unlocked upon login instead of separate password dialog?
[10:33] <pompa> hi everyone. Any of you knws if exists a tool to verify visually which characters are included in a specified font?
[10:33] <Procule> CuriosTiger, left/top corner, right to "places"
[10:34] <Procule> called "Login screen"
[10:34] <oCean_> bradpitt: I'm not a unr user, but have you been here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UNR ?
[10:34] <ohir> pompa: accesories -> charmap
[10:34] <Green_> Guys, how do i change the default that will be selected in the GRUB screen?
[10:35] <CuriosTiger> Procule: I'm in the Login Screen control panel, but I don't see any kind of module selection or screen resolution setting in that control panel.
[10:35] <zipper> Hi any idea how can i play mpeg files?
[10:36] <CuriosTiger> Interesting. I seem to have two copies of the Screensaver preference panel
[10:36] <SauLus> oCean_: This file has been created yesterday. 10h of work. No backup, no other copy
[10:36] <phlak_user> zipper: mplayer
[10:36] <Procule> you're right... it changed in lucid
[10:36] <pompa> ohir: by charmap I can see all the utf tables, But I cannot see if a specified font has that characters in its set
[10:36] <SauLus> oCean_: I wasnt finished. Wanted to make a backup right now - but the file is corrupted now. F**K!
[10:36] <phlak_user> CuriosTiger: it can be achieved by ubuntu-tweak now
[10:36] <zipper> phlak_user: are we able to convert mpeg files into mp3?
[10:36] <b0nn> right, why is ubuntu refusing to put my wifi card into ad-hoc mode
[10:36] <Green_> Can anyone help me please?
[10:36] <alktors> I have enabled wireless but network manager shows: wireless networks(disconnected) with grey and I can't do anything. Why?
[10:36] <nicofs> Hello. Can somebody help me set up a 3G connection via Network Manager? The connection is there, but I can't connect. I suspect in has to to with the fact, that I wasn't asked for my PIN...
[10:36] <phlak_user> !anyone
[10:37] <b0nn> alktors: what does iwconfig say
[10:37] <Green_> ubottu: i asked mine first, and was ignored
[10:37] <phlak_user> nicofs: what carrier?
[10:37] <pompa> ohir: for example, I'd like to see if a certain font contains omacron, umacron ecc...
[10:37] <nicofs> O2 Germany
[10:37] <oCean_> SauLus: however annoying it is, (obfuscated) swearing is not allowed here. But at this point, you cannot find the file at all?
[10:37] <bradpitt> oCean_, i already check the site. unfortunately no solutions for mi problem. thanks anyway bro.
[10:37] <alktors> b0nn,  I am an beginner, I use ubuntu 10.04 amd64 version, were do I type that, in the terminal?
[10:37] <phlak_user> nicofs: does it show up in Network Manager?
[10:37] <nicofs> yes
[10:38] <phlak_user> nicofs: im assuming you're using a usb dongle
[10:38] <ohir> pompa: you've said 'visually'. What means you select font and look for character that interests you then check its properties (for U code ie).
[10:38] <nicofs> integrated device
[10:38] <Green_> Guys, how do i change the GRUB screen's default?
[10:38] <nicofs> and with a different SIM card, the device itself worked before... so I guess it's not a driver problem
[10:38] <phlak_user> nicofs: can you open a terminal and type tail -f /var/log/daemon.log and then try to connect? you can then pastebin the messages that show up in the terminal
[10:38] <ohir> pompa: charmap let you do so
[10:38] <alktors> b0nn,  I did it, now I  will paste the paste-it...
[10:39] <alktors> b0nn,  http://paste-it.net/public/b7d52bb/
[10:39] <alktors> b0nn,  This is what iwconfig shows me in the terminal.
[10:39] <phlak_user> Green_: edit /etc/default/grub and then run grub2-update
[10:39] <AdvoWork> hmm, ive got php installed, and apache, but i think somethings gone wrong, i goto localhost/ run a file   file.php and it tries to open it rather than run it, in ubuntu. Any ideas please?
[10:39] <Green_> phlak_user: will try, thanks
[10:39] <oCean_> AdvoWork: did you enable the php module (in apache) ?
[10:40] <nicofs> it sais "Stage 1 of 5" (Device Prepare complete)
[10:40] <nicofs> over and over again
[10:40] <pompa> ohir: but charmap accesories -> charmap shows me also the characters not included in a specific font. So if i select century schoolbook I can see also the runic characters, which are not included in the font
[10:40] <llutz> AdvoWork:  /j #httpd         make sure to have apache-mod-php5 installed and run "a2enmod php5"
[10:41] <red> my laptop has atis gfx card
[10:41] <red> where do I go to tweak antialiasing etc settings?
[10:41] <red> like the equivalent of nvidia-settings for nvidia cards
[10:41] <nicofs> I never used this sim before and I haven'T been asked for my PIN yet, so I would be extremely surprised if it could connect...
[10:41] <b0nn> alktors: at the moment I am thinking ubuntu is rubbish for wifi
[10:41] <DASPRiD> red, heh i was just going to say, nvidia-settings :)
[10:41] <Green_> phlak_user: change the "GUB_DEFAULT"?
[10:41] <red> DASPRiD: thats hardly the case for ATI :P
[10:41] <conb123> Is there a desktop application on ubuntu for playing swf files? Similar to the flashplayer app on windows?
[10:41] <DASPRiD> red, ati-settings? :D
[10:42] <alktors> b0nn,  Ohh...and isn't it a way to use wifi? and get rid of that grey wireless networks disconnected thing in my network manager?
[10:42] <DASPRiD> conb123, flc?
[10:42] <leagris> Installed libpam-gnome-keyring but it did not update /etc/pam.d/gdm-autologin. Is this a security issue enabling pam keyring with gnome autologin?
[10:42] <alktors> b0nn,  I really want to use wifi too.
[10:42] <red> DASPRiD: I did try that before, na'ah :P
[10:42] <DASPRiD> conb123, *vlc
[10:42] <SauLus> oCean_: I dont have the file at two places. The the file I am working at ~/myfile.odt is corrupted. There is no backupt. The openoffice backup directory is empty. file  ~/myfile.odt : OpenDocument Text.
[10:42] <conb123> DASPRid: No tried, wouldn't open my swf
[10:42] <SauLus> I think I have to grep through the partition
[10:42] <ohir> pompa: ok. You're right. There is by language choice only.
[10:42] <SauLus> how was it? sudo grep -A /dev/mydevice?
[10:43] <DASPRiD> conb123, oh, you want a flash player, not a player for flv videos
[10:43] <conb123> DASPRid: Yes, for an swf
[10:43] <DASPRiD> conb123, firefox should do
[10:43] <conb123> not an flc
[10:43] <oCean_> SauLus: what you could try is: start oo writer, then Insert > File > myfile.odt
[10:43] <llutz> SauLus: grep -ri pattern /mount/point/*
[10:43] <conb123> *flv
[10:43] <Lefantomedurezo> Hello, is there a way to close gnome-panel and to prevent him to launch again?
[10:43] <ohir> pompa: so either you use OO font choice dialog or google for some font-creation software
[10:43] <zipper> how do i convert mpeg files to mp3?
[10:44] <conb123> DASPRid: Yes I know the browser can do it but I was wondering if there was a desktop application just for playing flash files, like adobe makes for windows, flashplayer
[10:44] <red> VLC can play .SWF files iirc?=
[10:44] <DASPRiD> conb123, maybe adobe air?
[10:44] <red> have you tried at least
[10:44] <Arch_NME> hi
[10:44] <DASPRiD> red, he has
[10:44] <Arch_NME> any idea how to spped up a touchpad on a laptop
[10:44] <pompa> ohir: and simpler, is there a way to count the number of single character wich are in a font?
[10:44] <phlak_user> Green_: yes
[10:45] <Arch_NME> it's moving very very dlowly
[10:45] <Green_> Ok one more, how do i get the system boot into command line (not desktop)
[10:45] <Arch_NME> slowly
[10:45] <red> ah
[10:45] <red> i confused .swf with .flv :p
[10:45] <red> sry
[10:45] <nicofs> How do I enter my PIN for 3G connections?
[10:45] <conb123> DASPRid: Possibly, thanks
[10:45] <SauLus> oCean_: "Due to an unexspected error, openoffice.org crahsed ...."
[10:45] <phlak_user> Green_: recovery mode; else just press ctl+alt+f1 once you are at gdm login
[10:46] <Green_> ok thanks :D
[10:46] <leagris> Arch_NME, did you try setting speed in menu System/Preferences/Mouse ?
[10:46] <Arch_NME> anyone know how to speed up my touchpad on a laptop?
[10:46] <ohir> pompa: look at ImageMagick suite. IIRC there were ome magics for fonts too
[10:46] <Arch_NME> yeah I turned that up all the way
[10:46] <Arch_NME> still very slow
[10:46] <AdvoWork> oCean_, unsure actually, what line would that be?
[10:47] <phlak_user> nicofs: there is an option to enter pin when you add a new mobile broadband connection in NetworkManager
[10:47] <SauLus> llutz: you are grepint through all files, not the device. I suppose the data being on the hard drive but the pointer to the data has been removed.
[10:47] <AdvoWork> llutz, ive ran a2enmod php5, it ran, and i force reloaded apache, but same problem
[10:47] <nicofs> @phlak: no
[10:47] <phlak_user> nicofs: let me see if i can pastebin the screenshot
[10:47] <pompa> ohir: thanks
[10:47] <ohir> pompa: and thats all I can help you so far.
[10:47] <Arch_NME> I got acceleration and sensativity maxed out
[10:47] <oCean_> SauLus: now, that's nasty.
[10:48] <Arch_NME> it take me 19 sweeps across the pad to get from the top of the screen to the bottom
[10:48] <Green_> phlak_user: recovery mode goes to some recovery screen, i just want it to go strait to command line
[10:48] <llutz> SauLus: you don't want to grep through a device, the only thing you can find are sectors containing your pattern, not the file.
[10:49] <leagris> Arch_NME, sorry can not help much. Look like an issue with the touchpad driver. I added a small laptop mouse long ago because I could not work efficiently with the pad though.
[10:49] <oCean_> AdvoWork: so that command was actually to enable the php5 mod. Not working is weird - but as llutz pointed out, apache help in #httpd
[10:49] <b0nn> awesome, I rebooted ubuntu (again) and it reverts my /etc/networking/interfaces to an earlier version... what the flying f***
[10:49] <lindsaymobil22> hey again, i have googled this, whenever i watch an online video in full screen, it flickers, lags, jumps on ubuntu 9.04, everything works fine on windows
[10:50] <jpds> b0nn: Use NetworkManager? :)
[10:50] <SauLus> llutz: you often recover missing files on ext3 filesystems with something like "sudo grep -AbC 20 <someinformationyouremember> /dev/yourdrive
[10:50] <leagris> Arch_NME, found this that may help you http://www.zyxware.com/articles/2008/05/22/is-your-touchpad-too-slow-in-ubuntu-fix-it
[10:50] <ActionParsnip> lindsaymobil22: make sure your video drivers are up to date. what windows does is moot
[10:50] <zipper> how do i convert mpeg files to mp3? can any1 assist?
[10:50] <reda> hello
[10:50] <nicofs> @phlak: sorry, I'm running out of time... have to go to the canteen in 5 minutes, I'll be back in about 40 minutes..
[10:50] <llutz> SauLus: that might work with pure text-file, not with zipped-xml (odt is)
[10:51] <reda> need help in ubuntu
[10:51] <lindsaymobil22> actionparsnip: i checked in the hardware drivers, its just alternative wireless drivers, intel dont offer drivers for linux graphics drivers for my laptop
[10:51] <phlak_user> nicofs: ok; ill paste the screenshot and leave the link as a message to you
[10:51] <nicofs> thanks
[10:51] <reda> i dont know to install theme in ubuntu
[10:51] <ActionParsnip> lindsaymobil22: then you may need to form an xorg.conf to specify better options
[10:51] <zipper> how do i convert mpeg files to mp3? can any1 assist???????????
[10:51] <SauLus> then your grep does also not work, right? "grep -ri pattern /mount/point/*" does not work on zipped files
[10:51] <ActionParsnip> !theme | reda
[10:52] <SauLus> then your grep does also not work, right? "grep -ri pattern /mount/point/*" does not work on zipped files llutz
[10:52] <Changeofheart> Hey XD
[10:52] <ActionParsnip> zipper: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1063989   found that in 100 seconds
[10:52] <lindsaymobil22> actionparsnip: i looked on the forums, its supposed to be flash related?
[10:52] <llutz> SauLus: most likely
[10:52] <Changeofheart> im going to reformat an old computer and put ubuntu onto it, anyone got any advice ?
[10:52] <ActionParsnip> zipper: have you not seen that page
[10:52] <llutz> SauLus: restore backup
[10:52] <phlak_user> nicofs: http://imagebin.ca/view/IPkxtnqd.html
[10:52] <lindsaymobil22> changeofheart: use a lighter DE, like xfce or lxde
[10:52] <phlak_user> Changeofheart: do it
[10:53] <reda> pleaze
[10:53] <zipper> ActionParsnip: I did but don't seem to understand
[10:53] <piero> ciao e buona giornata a tutti
[10:53] <Changeofheart> lindsaymobil22: lighter DE ?
[10:53] <ActionParsnip> lindsaymobil22: You may want to try setting  "Migration Heuristic" "greedy"   in xorg.conf  might help
[10:53] <lindsaymobil22> changeofheart: a lighter desktop enviroment
[10:54] <phlak_user> !it | piero
[10:54] <lindsaymobil22> changeofheart: like xfce or lxde
[10:54] <well_laid_lawn> fluxbox ftw!
[10:54] <ActionParsnip> zipper: its simple, just read the command given, change input_file.mpg to your file and change output_file.mp3 to the filename you want, its that simple
[10:54] <phlak_user> Changeofheart: he wants you to use a lighter window manager
[10:54] <Besogon> Hi. My problem is not consern about ubuntu but all the same. How to make partitions on a USB-stick in such way that XP would not be changed
[10:54] <lindsaymobil22> changeofheart: how old is the computer?
[10:54] <Besogon> ?
[10:54] <ActionParsnip> Changeofheart: LXDE is brilliant
[10:54] <phlak_user> Besogon: whats XP?
[10:54] <lindsaymobil22> i hate lxde
[10:55] <Arch_NME> when I try to edit that xorg.conf file it is blank
[10:55] <Arch_NME> is that right?
[10:55] <Besogon> phlak_user: WinXP
[10:55] <well_laid_lawn> flux pwns openbox !
[10:55] <SauLus> llutz: you normally dont have a backup if you created a file one day ago and did not finish, yet
[10:55] <Changeofheart> whats wrong with using ubuntu, why use LXDE ? or are they something completely dif
[10:55] <phlak_user> Besogon: and this is a ubuntu support channel
[10:55] <llutz> SauLus: then you should think about your backup-strategy
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> Arch_NME: yes, lucid doesn't ship with the file, you can generate one with: sudo Xorg -configure
[10:55] <oCean_> SauLus: any luck yet? Thought of one other possibility, that is opening the corrupted file using an other wordprocessor: "sudo apt-get install abiword" and try opening the document using abiword. Just a tip: while searching for solution, why not make a backupcopy op the (corrupted) doc?
[10:56] <lindsaymobil22> i tried to edit xorg.conf with sudo gedit xorg.conf, it was blank
[10:56] <Arch_NME> I'm using 9.10
[10:56] <b0nn> otay.. how do I get to NetworkManager?
[10:56] <Arch_NME> 10.4 doesn't work on this pc
[10:56] <ActionParsnip> Changeofheart: LXDE will run on Ubuntu, Ubuntu by default uses Gnome desktop and Metacity as it's window manager, LXDE will use openbox as the window manager and LXDE as the desktop, its just a lighter frontend
[10:56] <Changeofheart> im looking at LXDE, do i really need it? ubuntu has a smooth desktop environment as is, my computer is 32bit 512 ram
[10:57] <Besogon> phlak_user: ubuntu and Win7 can read my flash in good way but XP not. So I asked if there was way to partitioning flash-drive for using in XP FROM UBUNU?
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> Changeofheart: this is the same way KUbuntu uses KDE as the desktop and KWin as the window manager
[10:57] <MACscr> lol, why does the Disk Utility see my sata drive as a pata drivice? Even shows it connected to the pata controller
[10:57] <zipper> ActionParsnip: i keep getting input_file.mpg: no such file or directory
[10:57] <reda> are there any one want to help me
[10:57] <well_laid_lawn> Changeofheart: you asked for a lighter de
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> zipper: is the filename you want to convert called "input_file.mpg"?
[10:58] <koichirose> hello. I'm having problems setting the theme on Ubuntu 10.04. I'm choosing Human Clearlooks. Everything changes except nautilus windows (which are clearlooks, so all grey). How do I solve this?
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> Changeofheart: if you want your desktop to use less resources then its a good choice
[10:58] <Changeofheart> XD do you guys think i NEED a lighter DE, 512 ram, ubuntu as the sole OS.. only light applications are being used like word procesing and internet browsing?!?!?
[10:58] <Arch_NME> actionparshipL that cuased a fatal server error
[10:58] <zipper> ActionParsnip: nope
[10:58] <zipper> ActionParsnip: do i have to rename the thing?
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> zipper: then the command needs changing doesn't it, you change the command to use the filename you want to change
[10:59] <zipper> ActionParsnip: the files are inside this file called mpegav
[10:59] <zipper> ActionParsnip: inside a cd...
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> Changeofheart: you can always install LXDE now and log off and log in to LXDE, if you don't like it, log off then log into gnome
[11:00] <SauLus> oCean_: thats a nice try, but abiword only reads "PK????????§D¼<^Æ2" The file size of my broken file is 33K and that should be ok.
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> zipper: thats fine, just specify the file absolutely and you will be fine
[11:00] <oCean_> SauLus: getting out of options here :(
[11:00] <jmux> Hi. Is there a way to prevent apt-get from installing "required" packages on "dist-upgrade"? I've even pinned the package with -1 but it still gets installed (using 8.04 LTS).
[11:00] <Changeofheart> ActionParsnip: So i can switch between DE's after initial installation ?
[11:01] <ActionParsnip> Changeofheart: absolutely
[11:01] <ActionParsnip> Changeofheart: you select it at logon
[11:01] <ramanK> Is there anyone that experienced this? http://www.flickr.com/photos/50615397@N07/4647244302/
[11:01] <zipper> ActionParsnip: MPEGAV: no such file or directory
[11:01] <ActionParsnip> zipper: as long as you have read access to the file you want andwrite access to where you want to output the file it will be fine
[11:01] <SauLus> never mind oCean_, thank you very much for your help
[11:02] <ActionParsnip> zipper: use tab to complete names, linux is hugely case sensitive
[11:02] <jo_> hello all gurus, could you help me on dual boot installation please?
[11:02] <zipper> ActionParsnip: oh dear i am kinda lost here
[11:02] <llutz> SauLus: can you unzip that .odt?
[11:02] <Changeofheart> ActionParsnip: THANK YOU :) !
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> zipper: lets do it the REAL easy way.  Further suggesting that I did not compile unzip right (which came from the official ubuntu .deb)
[11:04] <zipper> ActionParsnip: Oh okayokay lemme try to type in the thing

[11:07] <zipper> ActionParsnip: so for my output file will be the mp3 that is gona be saved at right?
[11:07] <oCean_> SauLus: you checked your ~/.openoffice/3/user/backup directory, right? Also checked in "temp" instead of backup?
[11:07] <SauLus> llutz: you are my personal hero for today: unzip -ff mybrokenfile.odt fixedfile.odt; openoffice can then restore the fixed file yay!!! oCean_ ty again as well
[11:08] <oCean_> SauLus: yay!
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> zipper: yes, something like ~/out.mp3    will do
[11:08] <Roland> my numpad started moving the mouse... how to stop that?
[11:08] <llutz> MrChris: libapr1
[11:08] <zipper> ActionParsnip: ffmpeg -i /media/Hout1/MPEGAV/AVSEQ01.DAT -f mp3 output_file.mp3
[11:08] <SauLus> oCean_: the stupid thing is that openoffice does not create backups by default.
[11:08] <Sunbaby> MrChris,  apt-get install libapr1-dev
[11:08] <zipper> ActionParsnip: so if i wanna save it in my desktop how should i put my output file as?
[11:08] <TaEs> anybodyyy??
[11:08] <Sunbaby> * To install Apache Portable Runtime (APR) development headers:
[11:08] <Sunbaby> Please run apt-get install libapr1-dev as root.
[11:08] <llutz> Sunbaby: why -dev?
[11:08] <oCean_> SauLus: be sure to enable the backups :)
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> TaEs: try adding the boot option: i8024 reset   may help
[11:09] <TaEs> how?
[11:09] <iamm> hi guys,, i'm close to "reality" after daysssss of troubleshooting  wifi, almost giving up. noww... i was able to detect wireless SSID but can't connect to it..
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> zipper: ~/Desktop/out.mp3    is one way
[11:09] <TaEs> :)
[11:09] <zipper> ActionParsnip: ffmpeg -i /media/Hout1/MPEGAV/AVSEQ01.DAT -f mp3 ~/Desktop/out.mp3 like this?
[11:10] <TaEs> [ActionParsnip] i´v got a little bit idea, but no too much
[11:10] <iamm> does anyone know how to fix this..
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> TaEs: gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub     find this line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"    and change it to: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i8024 reset"
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> TaEs: save the new file, close gedit and run: sudo update-grub
[11:10] <TaEs> all rigth
[11:10] <iamm> i'm quite extra careful now of installing blahs and blehs deb packages.. i'm close....
[11:10] <TaEs> and restart
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> zipper: i dont think it will work with DAT files
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> TaEs: sure
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> oops
[11:11] <TaEs> thx
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> TaEs: the option is 8024.reset
[11:11] <TaEs> let me see
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> oops
[11:11] <zipper> ActionParsnip: then how do i convert dat files to mp3?
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> i8024.reset
[11:11] <dsirijus> is there a way to switch to particular window in ubuntu?
[11:11] <ubuntu_linux> hi all
[11:11] <MrChris> [20:09] <Sunbaby>  MrChris,  apt-get install libapr1-dev - Thanks Sunbaby for that :)
[11:11] <TaEs> i´v to put that comand, not more
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> ^ TaEs thats the option
[11:11] <TaEs> rigth?
[11:11] <Sunbaby> ;)
[11:11] <b0nn> way cool, ubuntu has decided to commit suicide
[11:11] <TaEs> yeah, ok
[11:11] <TaEs> i´m gonna try it without make a mistake
[11:11] <b0nn> there is no taskbar
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> TaEs: you could rip the dvd using acidrip then convert from there
[11:12] <llutz> MrChris:if you don't want to compile stuff yourself, you don't need libapr1-dev, use libapr1
[11:12] <b0nn> right clicking on the screen produces nothing
[11:12] <b0nn> what a pile of stinking sh*t
[11:12] <TaEs> [ActionParsnip] what??
[11:12] <ActionParsnip> b0nn: press ALT+F2 and type: gnome-panel   press enter
[11:12] <b0nn> ah
[11:12] <b0nn> wrong
[11:12] <zipper> ActionParsnip: http://linuxhelp.blogspot.com/2005/10/convert-vcd-avesqrtdat-file-into-mp3_04.html folo this step will do right?
[11:12] <ActionParsnip> TaEs: change te option to: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i8024.reset"
[11:12] <b0nn> nothing comes up
[11:13] <ActionParsnip> b0nn: kindly change your attitude, its really not becomming
[11:13] <ActionParsnip> !panel | b0nn
[11:13] <_nobody_> !help
[11:13] <ActionParsnip> !resetpanel
[11:13] <b0nn> I would if I hadn't just lost 4 hours work to a steamer
[11:13] <ActionParsnip> b0nn: ^
[11:13] <b0nn> the terminal wont come up
[11:13] <b0nn> ^^^^

[11:21] <Hellwolf06_> my archive is 891 mb i want to split it to 700
[11:21] <NightlyUser> ubuntu_linux: ubuntu does use gnome, that was just the response the ubbutu bot gives

[11:32] <phlak_user> nicofs: did you manage to get the pin in correctly?
[11:32] <phlak_user> Green_: ps -fe|grep sshd
[11:32] <nicofs> @phlak: yes
[11:32] <ActionParsnip> Green_: ps -ef | grep ssh     should do it

[11:34] <phlak_user> nicofs: do you have enough credit on the SIM?
[11:34] <phlak_user> Green_: sudo /etc/init.d/sshd restart

[11:35] <abuayyoub> Hi, i have a question if someone can help me. I am runing an X64 for machine with Lucid, I instsalled the latest flash plugin and it works perfect with Chrome but if I run Firefox it tells me i need to update flash.
[11:35] <phlak_user> Green_: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart
[11:35] <nicofs> the thing is: this connection has worked before, out-of-the-box. and then it suddenly stopped...
[11:35] <phlak_user> Green_: ssh not sshd (sorry)
[11:35] <Ileden> well_laid_lawn: Hi! I'm back, and the problem persists. :)
[11:35] <Green_> ok restarted
[11:36] <phlak_user> nicofs: has it worked before on lucid?
[11:36] <ubuntu_linux> ActionParsnip: http://linux.softpedia.com/progDownload/HUAWEI-E220-Installer-Download-34846.html << will it works ?
[11:36] <MrChris> llutz: what are backports?
[11:36] <nicofs> yes...
[11:36] <Green_> phlak_user: still same error
[11:36] <phlak_user> Green_: now run the ps -fe to check again
[11:36] <Ileden> ActionParsnip: Hi! Thanks for the tips a few days ago (computer slowdown, you asked to reconfigure xorg, etc). Unfortunately they didn't help the problem.
[11:36] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu_linux: try it
[11:36] <well_laid_lawn> Ileden: bummer - it was just a thing to try
[11:36] <nicofs> May it be, that my modem isn't ttyUSB0 but perhaps something like ttyUSB1 and the manager adresses a non-existant device?
[11:36] <Ileden> Luckily, I've now managed to make the problem reporoducible!
[11:36] <ubuntu_linux> ActionParsnip: ok
[11:36] <ActionParsnip> Ileden: gah
[11:37] <well_laid_lawn> Ileden: how?
[11:37] <phlak_user> nicofs: try with wvdial first and then with NetworkManager so that you can isolate the issue
[11:37] <Green_> phlak_user: looks like /usr/sbin/sshd is on
[11:37] <phlak_user> nicofs: sudo wvdialconf should detect the modem device correctly
[11:37] <phlak_user> Green_: is this box and the putty machine on the same side of the network?
[11:37] <vishal1> Hi there
[11:37] <Green_> phlak_user: yes
[11:38] <phlak_user> !hi | vishal1
[11:38] <ActionParsnip> Ileden: what CPU / how much ram do you have?
[11:38] <mr_fribble> How do I check if pdo_mysql is installed properly and fully working on ubuntu?
[11:38] <nicofs> need to install first...
[11:38] <Green_> phlak_user: i have already connected to it, but couldn't connect since
[11:38] <vishal1> switched to Lucid
[11:38] <Ileden> well_laid_lawn, ActionParsnip: The problem is NOT tied to time, as I thought, but to the amount of windows I've opened (or similar). If I open something like 10 terminal windows the problem appears - and persists after I've closed them.
[11:38] <phlak_user> Green_: have you configured a firewall or done something new since then?
[11:38] <vishal1> without overwriting my Vista
[11:38] <Green_> phlak_user: nothing
[11:39] <Green_> phlak_user: just restarted the putty pc
[11:39] <vishal1> but Vista is now not accessible to me
[11:39] <ubuntu_linux> !info ntfsutils lucid
[11:39] <phlak_user> Green_: can you do a ssh from local machine and see if it connects?
[11:39] <Shvonder> Hellwolf06_: And what do want? You can make such large peace of file like you want. You have the file with size 700Mb. And I want split it in 699Mb and 1Mb. Oh.. Just make it the same size or at least without such big difference. (e.g. 500Mb and 200Mb)
[11:39] <vishal1> Maybe a grub problem
[11:39] <ubuntu_linux> !info ntfsutil lucid
[11:39] <abuayyoub> Hi, i have a question if someone can help me. I am runing an X64 for machine with Lucid, I instsalled the latest flash plugin and it works perfect with Chrome but if I run Firefox it tells me i need to update flash.
[11:39] <ubuntu_linux> !info ntfsutill lucid
[11:39] <vishal1> The partition can be seen
[11:39] <Green_> phlak_user: the putty machine is local
[11:39] <Ileden> ActionParsnip: 2GB of RAM iirc, processor power don't remember, but should be enough (usually floats around 5-10%).
[11:39] <phlak_user> Green_: the same machine as sshd
[11:40] <ActionParsnip> Ileden: good enough
[11:40] <ubuntu_linux> ActionParsnip: is ntfs read by default in lucid ?
[11:40] <well_laid_lawn> Ileden: since the mem usage is not the issue I am outta ideas sorry
[11:40] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu_linux: yes its readable by default and can be writable
[11:40] <Green_> phlak_user: yep, it connects
[11:40] <well_laid_lawn> Ileden: it does seem strange tho
[11:40] <vishal1> May I expect to have a reply>
[11:40] <red> Hey, how can I force install php5-xsl package without having to update other stuff?
[11:40] <Ileden> ActionParsnip: and the problem has only appeared after upgrade to lucid.
[11:40] <ubuntu_linux> ActionParsnip: thanks
[11:40] <phlak_user> !patience
[11:41] <ActionParsnip> Ileden: what video card do you have?
[11:41] <well_laid_lawn> vishal1: your prob was on too many lines to follow
[11:41] <Ileden> ActionParsnip: ATI Radeon 9200
[11:41] <Ileden> well_laid_lawn: It feels stange to me too, glad I'm not the only one :)
[11:41] <well_laid_lawn> heh
[11:41] <ActionParsnip> Ileden: if you use a Lucid live CD is it ok?
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> Ileden: you may have to reinstall the driver package you are using
[11:42] <Shvonder> red you have to use aptitude for this. Not Synaptic. In aptitude you can fix all package you need in installed version.
[11:42] <Ileden> ActionParsnip: yup, you suggested reinstalling the driver pack, and I did. didn't help.
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> Ileden: ok just getting up to speed ;)
[11:43] <Ileden> ActionParsnip: Also nothing in dmesg looks related.
[11:43] <phlak_user> Green_: netstat  -nlt should show you if ssh is listening on all interfaces
[11:43] <nicofs> now I'm confused... I've got a "huawei"-modem (which is the correct manufacturer) on (ttyUSB0), (ttyUSB2) and (ttyUSB4)
[11:43] <well_laid_lawn> Ileden: try the vesa driver - iirc the 9200 isn't supported anymore - read /var/log/Xorg.0.log to check that, it'll be near the top
[11:43] <Ileden> ActionParsnip: no problem! don't expect you to remmber every help case here :D
[11:43] <Green_> phlak_user: redownloaded putty and it seems to work now, thanks
[11:43] <vishal1> well_laid_lawn: Somebody previously told me not to open a private window
[11:43] <ActionParsnip> Ileden: true
[11:43] <phlak_user> nicofs: i generally get 7 ttyUSB
[11:43] <phlak_user> Green_: ah blame it on Mr Gates
[11:43] <nicofs> my mistake.. failed to read the last line...
[11:43] <Green_> hahaha
[11:43] <mr_fribble> How do I check if pdo_mysql is installed properly and fully working on ubuntu?
[11:44] <ActionParsnip> Ileden: all I can suggest is messing with xorg.conf and/or installing the xorg edgers ppa (possible risk with that)
[11:44] <vishal1> I agree, I take a little more to describe
[11:44] <Ileden> well_laid_lawn: what do I check from the log?
[11:44] <nicofs> it sais modem on /dev/ttyUSB0... so far that's ok
[11:44] <vishal1> Anyway
[11:44] <well_laid_lawn> vishal1: you just need to not use the enter button as punctuation - write the prob on one line pls
[11:44] <Ileden> ActionParsnip: what's the risk?
[11:44] <vishal1> Once again
[11:45] <well_laid_lawn> Ileden: when X loads the driver it lists the cards supported - if yours isn't in there it might be the issue
[11:45] <zipper> hi i just installed wine but i can't seem to install windows abled applications do i needa do any configuration?
[11:45] <phlak_user> nicofs: are you able to connect with wvdial?
[11:45] <vishal1> When I installed Lucid, Vista is not seen in the OS choice list
[11:45] <ActionParsnip> Ileden: no boot really, i think they include a rollback method
[11:45] <nicofs> erm... how do I do that?
[11:45] <NightlyUser> zipper: what are you trying to install?
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> Ileden: read the blurb: https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa
[11:46] <zipper> NightlyUser: this application called formatfactory
[11:46] <Ileden> well_laid_lawn: there's SOME radeon 9200 listed... how do I know if it matches mine. The one listed is "ATI Radeon 9200 5961 (AGP), ATI Radeon 9200 5962 (AGP),"
[11:46] <nicofs> "wvdial help" has no info

[11:46] <phlak_user> nicofs: first run sudo wvdialconf    This will create /etc/wvdial.conf

[11:47] <well_laid_lawn> vishal1: tried running   sudo update-grub?
[11:47] <Ileden> ActionParsnip: btw, restarting gdm service resets the problem
[11:47] <phlak_user> nicofs: if you get stuck, i can point you there
[11:48] <NightlyUser> zipper: hmm, i think the guys at #winehq could help better
[11:48] <ActionParsnip> Ileden: sounds like the memory leak bug, i thought that was fixed
[11:48] <vishal1> not yet. Will try now

[11:49] <vishal1> well_laid_lawn: Thanks a lot
[11:49] <NightlyUser> MAC: autocad is not a linux application, you may be able to install it under wine
[11:49] <zipper> phlak_user: but we need wine to install it

[11:51] <nicofs> hang on... I think I need to add the ATZ
[11:51] <MAC> Hello NightlyUser

[11:52] <vishal1> phlak_user: Its a Dell machine
[11:52] <Ileden> well_laid_lawn: Hmm, as I now found a way to reproduce the problem and clearly and nonsubjectively notice the effects, I should problaby write to the forums about it.
[11:53] <uLinux> How can I see tempatures of CPU, Motherboard, etc?
[11:53] <phlak_user> vishal1: dell has over 200 models of laptops and PCs

[11:53] <NightlyUser> !cad > NightlyUser
[11:53] <BlackFire> vishal1, go to synaptic package manager and type broadcom and check whether kernel- source is installed or not , if not installed it and then i think ur wifi  will work
[11:53] <well_laid_lawn> Ileden: I am thinking it could even be the monitors refresh rate or similar since yours is a unique prob
[11:54] <well_laid_lawn> Ileden: it should show the values used for them in the X log
[11:54] <vishal1> phlak_user: Sorry I'm chatting from a different PC and I dont racall the N/W card name
[11:54] <phlak_user> vishal1: oh ok
[11:55] <Ileden> well_laid_lawn: The weirdest thing is that it seems to be triggered - that is, once it activates it doesn't get any worse. ("worse" is a subjective measurement, though, so I might just be mistaken)

[12:09] <phlak_user> MAC: see my pm to you
[12:09] <pure_hate> Acorn, First thing to do is check it from the command line to make sure its just the browser
[12:09] <MAC> where ?
[12:09] <bencc> Callum__: thx
[12:09] <phlak_user> bencc: transmission
[12:09] <Acorn> pure_hate: how would I do that?

[12:12] <minjoo> how to make single-window-mode will be the default in gimp 2.7?
[12:12] <phlak_user> Acorn: or you can use w3m http://gmail.com
[12:12] <Slartibart> Is it possible to "snoop" what commands a program issue? PlayOnLinux is a gui for wine and issues some wine line when an app is chosen in gui. I'd really like to know what that line is..
[12:12] <augustl> why isn't it possible to install xen-utils in 10.04 server 64?
[12:12] <well_laid_lawn> phlak_user: as a link sure in a support post

[12:13] <Acorn> phlak_user, pure_hate: that worked fine
[12:14] <minjoo> how to make single-window-mode will be the default in gimp 2.7?
[12:14] <pure_hate> Acorn, ok so its your browser.
[12:14] <MAC> enough source to setup my freinds
[12:14] <phlak_user> minjoo: http://www.khattam.info/2010/03/30/howto-install-gimp-2-7-with-single-window-mode-on-ubuntu-lucid-lynx/
[12:14] <MAC> thanks
[12:14] <Ileden> Slartibart: I think you can dig those commands from PlayOnLinux itself without snooping. Not sure though.
[12:15] <augustl> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen is out of date - anyone know if it's being updated?
[12:15] <Slartibart> Ileden: Yeah? Any guessings about how?
[12:15] <Acorn> pure_hate: it's not working with w3m either
[12:15] <minjoo> phlak_user: thanks for helping but that is not.
[12:15] <EXp1r3d> summerbug, try to disable them and try
[12:15] <phlak_user> minjoo: ok sorry
[12:15] <pure_hate> Isnt there another browser in ubuntu like epiphany or something
[12:15] <pure_hate> try with that
[12:16] <phlak_user> Acorn: do you have a firewall that blocks ports 995 etc?
[12:16] <NightlyUser> augustl: out of curiosity, have you tried using kvm instead of xen
[12:16] <pure_hate> Acorn, ^^
[12:16] <augustl> NightlyUser: no
[12:16] <augustl> I am convinced it can't be hard to install and run xen :)
[12:16] <augustl> hitting dead ends everywhere though
[12:16] <Ileden> Slartibart: not really. :(
[12:16] <NightlyUser> augustl: kvm is supported in the linux kernel by default
[12:17] <Acorn> phlak_user, pure_hate: I just have a router. I have no problems accessing google from windows7 on the same computer
[12:17] <NightlyUser> !kvm | augustl
[12:17] <augustl> I want to use xen, though
[12:17] <Slartibart> Ileden: Darned.. Thanks, though
[12:17] <phlak_user> Acorn: i meant on the same computer; have you setup any firewall rules using ufw etc?
[12:17] <augustl> there are packages for it - ubuntu-xen-server - but they don't even install on a plain ubuntu server 10.04 setup
[12:17] <NightlyUser> !xen | augustl
[12:17] <augustl> makes no sense
[12:17] <Acorn> phlak_user: no, it's a fresh install
[12:18] <Acorn> phlak_user, pure_hate
[12:18] <augustl> NightlyUser: unfortunately, that wiki page is out of date =/
[12:18] <Acorn> phlak_user, pure_hate: oops, sorry.. is there maybe a way to log what is happening when I try to log into gmail?
[12:18] <phlak_user> Acorn: are you able to run either wireshark or tcpdump?
[12:18] <Ileden> Slartibart: you're welcome. Sorry I don't know how to help more, I found the playonlinux system rather confusing myself :)
[12:18] <NightlyUser> augustl: sorry, i only use virtualbox (i'm rather a novice)
[12:18] <pure_hate> Acorn, The fire wall wouldnt matter since its a dynamic connection + its web mail. That would only matter if it was a client
[12:19] <augustl> http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/ubuntu-xen-desktop
[12:19] <Acorn> phlak_user: should I install one of those programs?
[12:19] <augustl> the xen-tools package is not available
[12:19] <phlak_user> Acorn: tcpdump should be installed by default but you need to be able to decipher
[12:20] <MrChris> I am still getting: "configure: error: APR-util version 1.3.0 or later is required"
[12:20] <Acorn> phlak_user: hmm, so what do you think is the best route to take then? :/
[12:20] <pure_hate> Acorn, its probably as simple as your browser is not allowing https, your firewall has nothing to do with accessing web mail
[12:20] <Ileden> Slartibart: also, as far as I understand, playonlinux may also create a separate installation of wine for each game (for example an older version) to get them to work, so simply adding some options to regular wine command might not do the trick since the game might require an older version of wine to work. This is guesswork, though.
[12:21] <nemesis> hi, im having troubles with my laptop's wireless
[12:21] <NightlyUser> !wireless | nemesis
[12:21] <Acorn> pure_hate: oh right! that's a really good thought! How would I check the neccessary things are there to use https?
[12:22] <nemesis> Night_Elf, i already read that
[12:22] <Slartibart> Ileden: I think you're right. But I think there has got to be a way to run wine without pol. I just need to know how pol starts wine..
[12:22] <augustl> even http://tx.downloads.xensource.com/downloads/docs/user/is out of date, haha
[12:22] <nemesis> NightlyUser, ive read that, the wireless driver works, but the wireless scan does not show up any networks
[12:23] <NightlyUser> nemesis: what card do you have?
[12:23] <Ileden> Slartibart: yup. I hope you find the answer.

[12:25] <ryan1918> this channel don't have any ops?
[12:25] <NightlyUser> nemesis: is that built in?
[12:25] <Talu> Nobody?
[12:25] <nemesis> NightlyUser, yep
[12:25] <Slartibart> ryan1918: I really do believe that one was an accident..  Is this a security issue enabling pam keyring with gnome autologin?
[12:26] <augustl> anyone know of a up to date xen + ubuntu guide?   So if you have a problem with us, go to an op, if there are none here or you still have a problem, PISS OFF!
[12:31] <Acorn> phlak_user: Nope, I'm not sure what to try next
[12:31] <ryan1918> wow!
[12:31] <iceroot> LjL: dont worry, that command is not working on bash :)
[12:32] <jussi> MrChris: please dont.
[12:32] <ryan1918> dont kick me please
[12:32] <phlak_user> Acorn: can you run telnet www.gmail.com 80
[12:32] <MrChris> It's true though, jussi.

[12:32] <phlak_user> jussi: tx
[12:33] <MrChris> phlak_user: gimme a few mins.
[12:33] <pure_hate> Acorn, Trying to help you while someone else is helping you as well is not working. If you still need help after you get done with that guy let me know.
[12:33] <Acorn> phlak_user: "Connected to googlemail.l.google.com. Escape character is '^]'." is that success?
[12:33] <cdavis> I have installed calibre because it says that will provide an2mobi, but I still don't haev any2mobi
[12:33] <phlak_user> Acorn: certainly looks like it
[12:33] <pure_hate> Acorn, See what I mean, we already tried command line connection 30 mins ago
[12:33] <pure_hate> but w/e
[12:33] <Acorn> phlak_user: although I have no problem accessing gmail.com, it's logging in that's the problem
[12:34] <cdavis> Is there somethign special to get any2mobi
[12:34] <phlak_user> Acorn: what is the error that you get
[12:35] <Acorn> phlak_user: when I try to log in via w3m or firefox, it just says waiting for google.com and does nothing
[12:35] <MrChris> phlak_user: http://pastebin.org/287961
[12:35] <soreau> MrChris: Do you have libaprutil1-dev installed?
[12:35] <Acorn> pure_hate, phlak_user: interestingly, when I tried clearing my private data, even though I got no success page, I managed to log in, but could still not access gmail
[12:36] <MrChris> Yes I do
[12:36] <rocket16> Acorn: Try with Chrome, because sometimes pop servers meet problems in Firefox, same happened to me once.
[12:36] <pure_hate> Acorn, Its impossible for me to help you when someone else is giving commands which are irellevent or we tried a long time agao.
[12:37] <Acorn> rocket16: I tried w3m, I doubt chrome would work..
[12:37] <phlak_user> pure_hate: he's all yours
[12:37] <Acorn> pure_hate: okay, shall I pm you then?
[12:37] <rocket16> Acorn: Is it working in Evolution?

[12:43] <soreau> there is even a workspace names plugin for compiz

[12:44] <rocket16> liuchong: I believe, you can simply manually set the colour of the Panels to black
[12:45] <liuchong> soreau, I added ubuntu source list

[12:45] <zetheroo> I ran powertop on one of my machines and it suggested I enable USB standby by hitting U ... now my mouse is no longer working ... how do I revert this?
[12:45] <MrChris> soreau yes and 1.2.12
[12:45] <liuchong> ...
[12:45] <Slart> zetheroo: reboot might be the easiest way.. I'm not sure if powertop makes it permanent
[12:46] <soreau> MrChris: Ah there is the problem. Which version of ubuntu are you using?
[12:46] <zetheroo> Slart: ok will try
[12:46] <MrChris> 9.04
[12:46] <nicofs> thanks...
[12:46] <soreau> MrChris: Its telling you, your version of apr-utils is too old
[12:46] <MetalStormy> join #ubuntu-de-offtopic
[12:48] <zetheroo> Slart: rebooting worked :) Thanks
[12:48] <soreau> MrChris: ubuntu 9.10 and 10.04 have an updated version of this package
[12:48] <Slart> zetheroo: you're welcome
[12:48] <MrChris> ok, how do i upgrade?
[12:48] <MrChris> apt-get ubuntu-upgrade?
[12:48] <soreau> MrChris: Upgrade what? your ubuntu?
[12:48] <zetheroo> apt-get update
[12:48] <MrChris> yeah, the install
[12:49] <zetheroo> ahh ...
[12:49] <soreau> MrChris: I would recommend to install fresh instead of a potentially problematic upgrade
[12:49] <zetheroo> MrChris: does it not ask you to upgrade when you go to Update Manager?
 reboot may be @v@?
[12:49] <MrChris> soreau: i cant do a fresh install - it is a vps
[12:49] <MrChris> have to upgrade
[12:49] <zetheroo> wildbat: referring to the powertop issue?
[12:49] <wildbat> zetheroo, ya ;p
[12:50] <soreau> MrChris: But it is possible, you can update this single package by adding 9.10 sources, upgrading the package then removing the sources before your system notices
[12:50] <zetheroo> wildbat: yes a reboot did the trick
[12:50] <soreau> MrChris: of course this could break it now or later
[12:50] <ubuntu_linux> hi i'm back ActionParsnip
[12:50] <MrChris> :/
[12:50] <soreau> MrChris: but if you want to upgrade ubuntu, I would use update-manager
[12:51] <zetheroo> MrChris: like soreau says, in your case it would be much better advised to perform a fresh install ... is there really no way?
[12:51] <soreau> MrChris: what are you trying to build and why, btw?
[12:51] <MrChris> again, i cant - only ssh
[12:51] <Killa> got a mind blowing question for anyone that is good with software raid5
[12:52] <wildbat> !anyone | Killa \
[12:52] <Slart> MrChris, soreau: why not just download the package from packages.ubuntu.com (wget will do that from a command line) and install it using gdebi .. seems easier than flipping sources back and forth
[12:52] <MrChris> i want o host a website on my vps. it uses php files, and i need to install php for that, and for that i need the latest apache and for that i need the latest apr.
[12:52] <Slart> Killa: yes, it's bad for many things and no, it's not as safe as most people think =)
[12:52] <soreau> Slart: Because it has a fair amount of deps so I dont know what all it will want to pull in
[12:53] <soreau> Slart: here it pulled in a dozen or more packages
[12:53] <phlak_user> MrChris: didnt the php that came with 9.04 work with the apache that came with it?
[12:53] <Slart> soreau: well.. if it starts pulling in lots of dependencies you'll probably end up upgrading your whole machine anyways
[12:53] <zetheroo> why does it seem the dpkg is so much slower in Lucid than in Karmic?
[12:54] <soreau> Slart: Yea, I would try to just add jaunty repos and see if you could get away without too much trauma
[12:54] <augustl> is every single guide on the wiki outdated? =P https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Installation is outdated too (as well as the xen article)
[12:54] <rocket16> zetheroo: Slower? Do you refer to any specific command like: sudo dpkg -i *.deb ?
[12:55] <MrChris> no
[12:55] <MrChris> its not on there by default.
[12:55] <Slart> soreau: well, good luck.. I think you're going to need it =)
[12:55] <soreau> Slart: Im not the one with the problem ;)
[12:55] <mohamed> hello
[12:55] <zetheroo> rocket16: well actually it's more in relation to installing software across the board in Lucid ... through cli, Synaptic or otherwise ... in Karmic it was so fast ...
[12:55] <Killa> Here is the problem http://richardm.pastebin.com/ndU1TW19
[12:56] <Slart> soreau: ah..that's right.. well.. you can have the luck anyways.. no need for a refund =)
[12:56] <soreau> Slart: heh
[12:56] <mohamed> i have installed linux after windows and i lost my windows boot
[12:56] <soreau> ! grub2 | mohamed
[12:57] <mohamed> no the problem is not with GRUB@
[12:57] <mohamed> 2
[12:57] <Ileden> well_laid_lawn: More evidence: The slowdown is replicable with live ubuntu 10.04.
[12:57] <MrChris> I am upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10 as we speak
[12:57] <mohamed> it shows and option to use Ubuntu or Windows
[12:58] <Ileden> well_laid_lawn: and it really does seem to be directly associated with display operations.
[12:58] <mohamed> but after i choose windows it does not work and takes me back to the list to choose linux
[12:58] <soreau> MrChris: If you are feeling adventurous, you could upgrade all the way to 10.04 while you arae at it
[12:58] <MrChris> how do i do that?
[12:58] <well_laid_lawn> Ileden: does the live cd use the radeon driver too?
[12:58] <MrChris> O.o
[12:58] <soreau> MrChris: just reboot after each dist-upgrade upgrade
[12:59] <soreau> well_laid_lawn: yea
[12:59] <Galerien> MrChris: If you do so, don't expects for your graphic card to work
[12:59] <sleightofhand84> lol
[12:59] <MrChris> why is that?
[12:59] <Ileden> well_laid_lawn: especially switching between windows, creating new windows, closing windows. the more different layout stuff on the window (e.g. thunderbird with multiple display panes), the slower the operation appears to be.
[12:59] <mohamed> how can i reactivate my windows to work
[12:59] <well_laid_lawn> soreau: ?
[12:59] <sleightofhand84> are u seriously asking that?
[12:59] <MrChris> yes i am
[12:59] <Ileden> well_laid_lawn: how do I find out... there seems to be no xorg.conf
[12:59] <soreau> MrChris: because upgrades are problematic. With going to 10.04, it may install the nvidia driver even if you dont have an nvidia card
[12:59] <sleightofhand84> **is first time on ubuntu channel, is this noob central?**
[13:00] <MrChris> :o
[13:00] <soreau> well_laid_lawn: The radeon driver is in use by default even in a live session
[13:00] <lolzed> hey guys,what are the minimum requirements for ubuntu?
[13:00] <well_laid_lawn> Ileden: normally that shows in top - the window opening stuff
[13:00] <MrChris> shit, not good...
[13:00] <MrChris> its a vps
[13:00] <Pici> !requirements | lolzed
[13:00] <lolzed> thanks :)
[13:00] <well_laid_lawn> Ileden: the X log
[13:00] <augustl> is it possible to uninstall the packages listed in "The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required"? I.e. orphans?
[13:00] <soreau> MrChris: No big deal, just remove it
[13:00] <MrChris> hmm...
[13:00] <MrChris> 54% downloaded
[13:01] <mr_fribble> How do I check if there is a problem with either PDO, PDO_MySQL or MySQL?
[13:01] <Slart> augustl: yes,   sudo apt-get autoremove      with or without --purge as needed
[13:01] <Lefantomedurezo> Hello, is there a way to close gnome-panel and to prevent him to launch again?
[13:01] <soreau> augustl: apt-get autoremove
[13:01] <MrChris> 1min 15 secs to download

[13:01] <augustl> Slart, soreau: thanks!
[13:01] <Galerien> Lefantomedurezo: what do you mean exactly ?
[13:01] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> i get a dialog sying that "power manager" isnt done with something, do i want to log out anyway, or let it finish
[13:01] <daedaluz> gaah, pulseaudio skipping. I'm newb to Ubuntu and GNOME, how to revert to ALSA?
[13:01] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> any1 know wut this means?
[13:01] <Galerien> (and feel free to /query me if you want to use French)
[13:01] <lolzed> i guess ill go with xubuntu then :)
[13:01] <MrChris> my bad...
[13:02] <MrChris> :(
[13:02] <Slart> vic20gmr_[lucid]: wait 10 secs or so.. then force it
[13:02] <vishpoison> well_laid_lawn: can you help me with a sh file?
[13:02] <Lefantomedurezo> Galerien: when I kill gnome-panel, it close but it will be opened again
[13:02] <mohamed> how do i install xfce on ubuntu
[13:02] <mr_fribble> How do I check if there is a problem with either PDO, PDO_MySQL or MySQL? A php script is not running on my ubuntu but works on another person computer so the problem is the drivers. But I'm not sure how to check them.
[13:02] <lolzed> although i heard sometimes xubuntu uses more than ubuntu?
[13:02] <Galerien> Lefantomedurezo: and feel free to /query me if you want to use French
[13:02] <Slart> vic20gmr_[lucid]: I don't know of anything vital that the power manager needs to do while closing down the machine
[13:02] <lolzed> resources
[13:02] <well_laid_lawn> vishpoison: why ask me -try in #bash pls
[13:02] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> it goes away if i wait, but y is it appearing in the first place and/or how can i keep it from being a problem in the first place?
[13:02] <Ileden> well_laid_lawn: yup, it's radeon driver as soreau said. LoadModule: "radeon"
[13:02] <wildbat> mohamed, you overwrote windows boot sector with grub ....
[13:02] <MrChris> download complete
[13:02] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> this occurs wen im booting
[13:02] <MrChris> now upgrading
[13:02] <vishpoison> well_laid_lawn: oh okie
[13:02] <Galerien> Lefantomedurezo: I don't know exactly but I would say that you need to stop a service...
[13:02] <MrChris> fingers crossed :p
[13:02] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> in initial log in screen
[13:03] <Slart> vic20gmr_[lucid]: I have no idea.. perhaps it's talking to something that isn't listening.. so it has to time-out
[13:03] <well_laid_lawn> Ileden: to try and not get the issue I would try the vesa driver to see if it is the graphics or not
[13:04] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> aside from a reinstall, any ideas how i might go abput diagnosing and remedying this?
[13:04] <Ileden> well_laid_lawn: is it activated by changing "radeon" to "vesa" in xorg.conf?
[13:04] <Galerien> Lefantomedurezo: try "service gdm stop"
[13:05] <well_laid_lawn> Ileden: yep and keep that line we commented well, commented :]
[13:05] <lolzed> question: xcfe/lxde installed on ubuntu is the same(except for bundled programs) are the same with xubuntu/lubunty?
[13:05] <Ileden> well_laid_lawn: ok. :)
[13:05] <Galerien> lolzed: neally... I have ubuntu with kde and I can use both without any problem
[13:06] <CuriosTiger> I haven't noticed any difficulty running either gnome or kde apps in xfce/xubuntu
[13:06] <lolzed> so that answer is?
[13:06] <CuriosTiger> never tried lxde though. xfwm is fast enough for me :)
[13:06] <CuriosTiger> lolzed: So the answer is, you should be fine
[13:06] <luist_> hey... how do i check if i have a damager RAM or some other hardware thing?
[13:06] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> i have a seperate question, if i were to use an older ver of ubuntu, wud i get older prop fxglr drivers?
[13:06] <djoef> Hi, I am looking for a way to generate a timeline with scientific work. meaning, I want to be able to filer e.g. on author. It would be nice if when I click on a publication (icon) I can get to the abstract etc. Is there anyone here that knows a package or (online) service for this purpose ?
[13:07] <lolzed> its an old laptop
[13:07] <lolzed> i tried lubuntu,i get an error,so i was suggested to try ubuntu
[13:07] <Galerien> lolzed: old laptop I would say try xubuntu
[13:07]  * CuriosTiger likes xubuntu even on his new laptop
[13:08] <lolzed> xubuntu=/= xcfe ubuntu ?
[13:08] <mr_fribble> Hi, a php script is not running on my ubuntu but works on another person computer so the problem is the drivers that is uses (PDO, PDO_MySQL or MySQL). How do I check if there are any problems with them?
[13:08] <Galerien> lolzed: yes
[13:08] <lolzed> resources wise
[13:08] <Galerien> exactly
[13:08] <lolzed> great
[13:08] <Galerien> and if you need all the power you can get, try Arch with openbox
[13:08] <lolzed> laptop has 239(or so) mb of ram
[13:08] <lolzed> i dunno if ubuntu would cut it
[13:09] <DelphiWorld> hi all
[13:09] <DelphiWorld> how do i convert my wav file to mp3 using shell?
[13:09] <Galerien> lolzed: a bit low yes...
[13:09] <atcho> DelphiWorld: maybe lame
[13:09] <lolzed> so xubuntu all the way?
[13:09] <daedaluz> Galerien: you misspelled Gentoo
[13:09] <Galerien> lolzed:  My friend with
[13:09] <luist_> hey im trying to mount a windows partition that couldnt startup, but it says: fuse: mount failed: Device or resource busy
[13:10] <DelphiWorld> atcho: thank you
[13:10] <Walex> lolzed: Xubuntu looks more like it. GNOME can be tuned down to use less memory, but it is not so easy.
[13:10] <lolzed> :S
[13:10] <Galerien> lolzed: my friend with arch and openbox uses 70 mo at startup...
[13:10] <Walex> Galerien: yes, but what matters is what happens when you start a few windows and in particular browsers
[13:10] <lolzed> i don't want to waste my time,but im not sure if i get xubuntu,i might get an error same with lubuntu
[13:11] <Walex> lolzed: liveCD?
[13:11] <lolzed> yes
[13:11] <luist_> hey im trying to mount a windows partition that couldnt startup, but it says: fuse: mount failed: Device or resource busy.. how can i solve that?
[13:11]  * Walex used to run KDE3.5 on his 256MB 800MHZ PIII laptop, and it was fairly decent.
[13:11] <Walex> luist_ probably already mounted, check '/proc/mounts'
[13:11] <harjot> Is it possible to use a windows rdp invitation help with ubuntu

[13:13] <luist_> Walex, ooh ok thanks
[13:14] <plouffe> luist_ , are you trying to access over the network?
[13:14] <lolzed> "failed due to unknown user id (0)" <- anyone knows what it means?
[13:14] <Ileden> well_laid_lawn: well, I'm now in "low graphics mode". Upon bootup, I got a notice about entering low graphics mode, with the following errors listed: "(EE) VESA: Kernel modsetting driver in use, refusing to load" "(EE) No devices detected"

[13:17] <Psy-T> Hmm, youtube is causing some problems for me again. When I go to a youtube video, it starts loading, but then firefox (or konquerer) freezes.
[13:17] <kenny73> hi
[13:17] <Ileden> well_laid_lawn: I gather I'm not using the vesa driver right now, though. That was what the low graphics stuff was about, right?
[13:17] <fuxy> try reinstall forefox
[13:17] <well_laid_lawn> lolzed: that there is no user 0 which is normally root - what is it you're running?
[13:18] <Psy-T> fuxy: the problem also happens in konquerer, though.
[13:18] <well_laid_lawn> Ileden: it said vesa in the error
[13:18] <Psy-T> hence doesn't seem like it'd be firefox's fault.
[13:18] <DelphiWorld> for the guy that say lame
[13:18] <DelphiWorld> thank you a lot
[13:18] <Ileden> well_laid_lawn: yup, but it couldn't load it, or something like that?
[13:18] <DelphiWorld> is working!
[13:19] <fuxy> Go in other web where is video and try.
[13:19] <well_laid_lawn> Ileden: if it couldn't find a display it wouldn't run - did it drop you to a tty?
 DelphiWorld: maybe lame
[13:19] <lolzed> i825
[13:19] <soreau> Lame is not lame!
[13:19] <Pici> lolzed: We need more information, what are you doing that gives you that error? What do you expect it to do?
[13:19] <kenny73> anyone knows how to register a nick?
[13:19] <Ileden> well_laid_lawn: here's the relevant part of xorg.0.log http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/a7zNJehK
[13:19] <lolzed> i run live cd
[13:19] <Psy-T> Just went and tried google video. It froze too.
[13:19] <soreau> ! register | kenny73
[13:19] <Pici> !register > kenny73
[13:19] <lolzed> i try installing it
[13:19] <lolzed> then it gives that
[13:20] <kenny73> ! register | kenny73
[13:20] <lolzed> it also does that when i try to run lubuntu from cd
[13:20] <Pici> kenny73: Please *read* the message from ubottu
[13:20] <Ileden> well_laid_lawn: nope, not in tty. I'm in this "low graphics mode", which is in fact not that bad looking (full colors, 1280x1024).
[13:20] <lolzed> running i825  with >256 ram
[13:20] <Pici> !enter | lolzed
[13:20] <Ileden> well_laid_lawn: in fact, I kinda prefer this to the jerkiness of the slowdown problem :D (not really a solution, though :) )
[13:20] <well_laid_lawn> Ileden: check the X log to see the driver yo're using for it pls
[13:21] <lolzed> sorry :(
[13:21] <soreau> Ileden: Parts of an X log are useless without the entire file. Can you please restate what problem you are having?
[13:21] <fuxy> Psy-T, try update
[13:21] <fuxy> maybe somthing wrong with that.
[13:21] <Psy-T> How, fuxy?
[13:22] <kenny73> sorry..i'm new to ubuntu
[13:22] <kenny73> just trying this out
[13:22] <fuxy> sudo apt-get update
[13:22] <lolzed> so anyone know why it gives the error?
[13:22] <Ileden> soreau: The actual problem is that I experience a major slowdown and jerkiness in window operations after opening "enough" windows. The problem persists after closing them I have ATI Radeon 9200 and I've used both the "ati" and "radeon" drivers.
[13:22] <daedaluz> Ileden, Radeon, there is you problem
[13:22] <Ileden> soreau: right now well_laid_lawn asked me to try "vesa" driver, but that booted up with reporting about "low graphics mode"
[13:22] <soreau> Ileden: ati is just a wrapper that selects radeon so its the same driver
[13:23] <Walex> Ileden: most likely not an X issue, but a memory/disk issue.
[13:23] <soreau> Ileden: fglrx the proprietary catalyst driver does not support your card at all
[13:23] <Ileden> Walex: I can find any problems with top. Or well, well_laid_lawn didn't see anything wrong with it.
[13:23] <soreau> Ileden: So, are you running compiz when this happens?
[13:23] <Ileden> soreau: happens both with or without compiz.
[13:23] <Pici> lolzed: Have you run the "Check CD for defects" test?
[13:24] <soreau> Ileden: How much vram does that card have?
[13:24] <Ileden> soreau: how do I tell?
[13:24] <soreau> Ileden: I dont have the command right off hand
[13:24] <Ileden> daedaluz: yea... but it worked just fine before upgrading to lucid.
[13:25] <soreau> Ileden: Can you reproduce the problem then check dmesg output to see if there are any interesting messages?
[13:25] <Ileden> soreau: I've tried, but nothing there seems relevant for the problem
[13:25] <Ileden> soreau: I can reproduce it when I want, so I could do that and pastebin the dmesg.
[13:25] <Talu> How to run files from cdrom?
[13:25] <soreau> Ileden: Another thing you can do is try the old driver without kms by specifying nomodeset as a kernel arg
[13:26] <soreau> Talu: What files?
[13:26] <kenny73> how to i list the other channels?
[13:26] <Psy-T> fuxy: the final message in the terminal was "Reading package lists... Done" after the apt-get update command. What next?
[13:26] <Talu> soreau: There is a setup.exe file i want to run
[13:26] <Ileden> soreau: everything was ok before I upgraded to lucid. also, the problem doesn't appear in this "low graphics mode" i'm in right now.
[13:26] <soreau> kenny73: You might want to try #freenode for irc-specific questions
[13:26] <Ileden> soreau: ok, I could try that.  You can run them in linux with wine
[13:27] <Talu>  soreau: I know that, duh... what i need is to run the setup.exe file as root trough terminal
[13:28] <soreau> Ileden: When you boot, at the grub splash screen, select your kernel then press e to edit, then on the kernel line after where it says ro quiet splash, append nomodeset
[13:28] <Ileden> soreau: ok, is that all?
[13:28] <soreau> Talu: You arent making any sense then
[13:28] <soreau> Ileden: yep
[13:28] <Ileden> soreau: ok, i'll do that.
[13:29] <soreau> Ileden: ctrl+x to boot after editing then it will be active only for that session to test
[13:29] <Talu> Does anyone know the command line for opening the Cdrom dir?
[13:29] <soreau> Talu: The questions you are asking are vague.  A cdrom can be mounted to any directory
[13:30] <fuxy> Psy-T, if still not working when you restart your computer. Try search on google. Look in all yours drivers,plugins and ... Maybe you don't have them.
[13:30] <Talu> soreau: I have a dvdrom in this laptop, i want to open the cd i have in it trough terminal... seriously how do i do that.
[13:30] <soreau> Talu: eject?
[13:30] <Talu> This channel sure is useless....
[13:31] <soreau> Talu: Look at the output of mount and see where its mounted to?
[13:31] <sipior> Talu: you get out what you put in, i suppose.
[13:31] <fuxy> Talu,  what you want to do? ...
[13:31] <tobiasz> for some reason flashplayer behaves MUCH better with Kubuntu than Ubuntu on my machine, any clues?
[13:31] <well_laid_lawn> Talu: you can't run an exe file through the terminal - but do   la /media   to find the cdrom folder
[13:31] <well_laid_lawn> Talu: you can't run an exe file through the terminal - but do   ls /media   to find the cdrom folder
[13:31] <well_laid_lawn> oops
[13:32] <Talu> well_laid_lawn: Thanks dude, atleast you were helpfull :P
[13:33] <well_laid_lawn> Talu: it is linux - you're free to do as you please with it :]
[13:34] <Talu> well_laid_lawn: Of course :P I have a problem though, wine says the setup.exe cant be opened because its not secure or something.
[13:34] <luist_> how can i see all my hardware stuff and check if theres something danified?
[13:34] <Talu> well_laid_lawn: wine blocks it.
[13:34] <well_laid_lawn> Talu: never used wine - there is the #winehq channel for that
[13:34] <Ileden> soreau: well I edited the line and pressed 'b' to boot. ctrl+x didn't do anything at that screen.
[13:34] <soreau> Ileden: Oh
[13:35] <Talu> well_laid_lawn: aha, thanks!
[13:35] <soreau> Ileden: Can you show the output of dmesg|grep modeset ?
[13:35] <hellyeah> hey
[13:35] <hellyeah> my file 2.4 mb i have to reduce the size less than 2 mb
[13:35] <hellyeah> is there any application or extraction technique to do that

[13:38] <marcel01> devi: download new drivers
[13:38] <Ileden> soreau: I'm not sure I'm skilled enough to write an extensive enough bug report about this. :-/
[13:39] <Galerien> hellyeah: do you have pictures in you file?
[13:39] <devi> marcel01: like which ones?
[13:39] <hellyeah> yes
[13:39] <hellyeah> i have a lot of picture
[13:39] <hellyeah> in pdf document
[13:39] <marcel01> devi: garphic card drivers
[13:39] <hellyeah> almost 30 picture
[13:39] <Galerien> Then try to reduce the big onces
[13:39] <Galerien> Then try to reduce the big onces
[13:39] <devi> marcel01: and where can i do that?
[13:39] <devi> marcel01: in the software centre?
[13:39] <soreau> Ileden: Its not too hard, just say steps to reproduce, 1) radeon 9200 2) Lucid 10.04 3) Open x amount of windows and fail.
[13:40] <luist_> how can i see all my hardware stuff and check if theres something danified?
[13:40] <marcel01> devi: no, not in the software center. you can do it via apt-get if official drivers are avaliable. -> google
[13:40] <Ileden> soreau: where should I report this? at bugs.launchpad.net?
[13:40] <soreau> ! bugs | Ileden
[13:41] <devi> marcel01: what's apt-get?
[13:41] <Ileden> soreau: ok thanks.
[13:41] <mofaph_> hello there, how to find chrome cookie file? i am sorry, i'm not good at English, i am Chinese.
[13:41] <allquixotic> Hi -- my Mac Mini 3,1 gets stuck trying to boot kernel 2.6.32-22. I tried generic and preempt flavors; I tried passing `noapic' and `noacpi' (separately and together); I took a picture of the screen when disabling the splash screen. It hangs very early in the kernel. This is vanilla Lucid + post-install update-manager, no proprietary drivers. http://tiyukquellmalz.org/ubuntu_hang.jpg
[13:41] <MrChris> devi: apt-get is a packaging system command
[13:42] <fschuessler> Kennt sich hier jemand mit "traceroute" aus?
[13:42] <devi> marcel01: oh dear, that again...
[13:42] <devi> marcel01: I have to go to terminals?
[13:42] <marcel01> lol, thats the main source for programs in linux
[13:42] <LjL> !de | fschuessler
[13:42] <simplexio> allquixotic: did you allready tried remove "quiet" option in grub boo options, t would help to see where problem is
[13:42] <marcel01> yes, but first google it.
[13:42] <marcel01> devi
[13:42] <Myrth> hi, i want to upgrade ubuntu on my server to lucid, but want to leave php 5.2 installed, i understand that i need to use pinning in /etc/apt/preferences, but it doesn't seem to affect dist-upgrade..
[13:42] <panfist> is it possible for a python program to trigger a gnome environment sound?
[13:42] <fschuessler> sorry^^
[13:43] <allquixotic> simplexio: If you even read my post you'd see that I posted a screenshot with that removed.
[13:43] <Ileden> soreau: hmm, it seems I can't reproduce the slowdown now that I turned compiz off.
[13:43] <mofaph_> hello there, how to find chrome cookie file? i am sorry, i'm not good at English, i am Chinese.
[13:43] <Ileden> soreau: what did that kernel option do? I should probably include it in the bug report...
[13:43] <Psy-T> Okay, a reboot got the youtube videos to work for me again, but without audio.
[13:43] <soreau> Ileden: Thats not surprising. Its still a radeon driver bug most likely though
[13:43] <devi> marcel01: ok... so what should I enter in google.. I tried graphic driver and now how do i choose? nvidia?
[13:44] <tobiasz> for some reason flashplayer behaves MUCH better with Kubuntu than Ubuntu on my machine, any clues? Perfect performance in Konqueror
[13:44] <soreau> Ileden: The kernel option disables kernel modesetting or kms. This means it will use the old method of the radeon driver, user modesetting
[13:44] <Ileden> soreau: also, is it safe to keep there? I can well live without compiz.
[13:44] <marcel01> devi: you must find out the name/type of your graphics card first.
[13:44] <soreau> Ileden: Sure, if its working
[13:44] <marcel01> mofaph_, do you want to clear it?
[13:44] <Psy-T> I guess the stuff I wrote might've disappeared because of the ping timeout.
[13:44] <simplexio> allquixotic: seems to hang when enabling second core. i have seen that bug before
[13:45] <devi> marcel01: ah ok... hold on a minute and I#ll try...
[13:45] <Psy-T> A reboot got the youtube videos to work for me again, but without audio. I'm guessing it's trying to output to either ALSA or pulseaudio, but I need it to output to jACK.
[13:45] <Ileden> soreau: seems ok. some artefacts when moving windows around, but nothing that would make it tough to use, like before.
[13:45] <mofaph_> marcel01, no, i want to check it out.
[13:45] <hellyeah> hey pls help
[13:45] <hellyeah> :D
[13:45] <marcel01> mofaph_, ok, will have a look
[13:45] <Psy-T> Where can I tell firefox/flash to output sound to jACK rather than ALSA/pulseaudio?
[13:46] <hellyeah> If i convert pdf to djvu
[13:46] <mofaph_> marcel01, thanks
[13:46] <hellyeah> file size reduce ?
[13:46] <tobiasz> for some reason flashplayer behaves MUCH better with Kubuntu than Ubuntu on my machine, any clues? Perfect performance in Konqueror
[13:46] <Ileden> soreau: hey, thanks a lot for this! Sure, I don't have compiz so it's still buggy (because before lucid compiz was working perfectly too), but this at least makes it possible to use the system without constant restarting.
[13:47] <marcel01> mofaph_, sorry, couldnt find that. try to look in your settings
[13:47] <soreau> Ileden: Cool, at least you have something usable for now :)
[13:47] <hellyeah> how can i convert pdf to djvu
[13:47] <devi> marcel01: so this is what happened in the terminal: http://paste.ubuntu.com/440848/
[13:48] <Guest6483> why won't xchat systray notification icon be installed?
[13:48] <mofaph_> marcel01, how?
[13:48] <soreau> Ileden: TBH, I think it sounds like some resource issue. Perhaps a newer radeon card will not have this issue (my 9600 works great)
[13:48] <NightlyUser> hellyeah: pdf is a file type, dejavu is a font
[13:48] <devi> marcel01: or how do i find out my type of card?
[13:48] <mofaph_> marcel01, i guess google chrome installed in /opt/google/chrome
[13:49] <hellyeah> hmm
[13:49] <Guest6483> why won't xchat systray notification icon install?
[13:49] <hellyeah> i have to reduce file size
[13:49] <hellyeah> does someone have suggestion
[13:49] <b0n1> hi, after the update to 10.04 ubuntu doesnt know my printer anymore
[13:50] <b0n1> but in 9.04 it recognized it automatically
[13:50] <UT8F> why ubuntu copy files sou slow?
[13:50] <NightlyUser> hellyeah: file size of what exactly?
[13:50] <hellyeah> pdf file
[13:50] <hellyeah> i have pdf file bigger then 2.0 mb
[13:51] <devi> marcel01: did u see my last 2 msgs?
[13:51] <hellyeah> but my school system doesnt accept bigger then 2 mb file
[13:51] <hellyeah> i have to reduce file size
[13:51] <b0n1> how can i recognize my printer?
[13:51] <NightlyUser> hellyeah: what is in the pdf?
[13:51] <hellyeah> my thesis
[13:52] <jbendotnet> am trying to set up svnserve to give auth'd access to repos on one server to another, without requiring a password each time (eg, not svn+ssh)
[13:52] <NightlyUser> hellyeah: so just text?
[13:52] <jbendotnet> followed http://odyniec.net/articles/ubuntu-subversion-server/
[13:52] <hellyeah> no text and pics
[13:52] <hellyeah> almost 30 pics
[13:52] <jbendotnet> no matter what I do to /usr/local/svn/repos/reponame/conf/svnserve.conf I always get svn: No access allowed to this repository
[13:53] <NightlyUser> hellyeah: what format are the pics in?
[13:53] <jbendotnet> if I allow anon-access it works
[13:53] <hellyeah> png
[13:53] <olivier__> slt
[13:53] <jbendotnet> ahh, wonder if password file can't be read
[13:53] <jbendotnet> !
[13:53] <aussiegeek> how do i force xorg to use a different configuration. its pushing my tv too far
[13:53] <hellyeah> my pic format is png
[13:53] <Ileden> soreau: the weird thing is that it only appeared at lucid. everything was working great before. so it can't be a complete incompatibility issue...
[13:54] <devi> ok, since marcel01 seems to have abandoned me... can anyone else help me with the flickering on my screen... getting a graphic driver or knowing what type of graphics card I have?
[13:54] <NightlyUser> hellyeah: couldn't you ask to submit your thesis in 2 parts?
[13:54] <phillyj> i want to sent PATH for a file located in /home/owner/Downloads/lammps-1May10 so would my command be PATH=$PATH://home/owner/.....?
[13:54] <b0n1> does someone know anything about printer recognition ?
[13:54] <hellyeah> okey i sent a mail to my supervisor
[13:55] <hellyeah> he said we incresase the file size
[13:55] <LjL> phillyj: err, why would you do that?
[13:55] <hellyeah> i guess i will submit
[13:55] <soreau> Ileden: Its a high probability that something probably changed in the driver since they have done nearly a complete overhaul o the driver with kms. Ums should set back to the old way of doing things but there is also changes still being made in these code paths
[13:55] <NightlyUser> hellyeah: i'm sure they won't reject your thesis just on the basis that it's bigger than 2mb
[13:56] <Ileden> soreau: emm, the kernel option didn't stay after reboot. how do I make it permanent?
[13:56] <phillyj> LjL: umm, I found this on a site and wasn't sure
[13:56] <devi> can anyone help me with the flickering on my screen... getting a graphic driver or knowing what type of graphics card I have?
[13:56] <Galerien> devi: yep...
[13:56] <phillyj> LjL:  I need to set the PATH for some programs to run
[13:56] <devi> Galerien: ok, great, what do i do?
[13:56] <hellyeah> NightlyUser,  yes system didnnt accept just
[13:56] <LjL> phillyj: you found what on a site, to begin with? you really shouldn't be installing random things from websites, but instead of the repositories if possible. why would a program need setting the PATH to run, anyway?
[13:56] <hellyeah> my thesis is 112 pages
[13:57] <phillyj> LjL: its located in a library
[13:57] <Galerien> devi: lspci | grep ati
[13:57] <sipior> phillyj: you were close. try "export PATH=${PATH}:/home/..."
[13:57] <devi> Galerien: uhm.. absolute beginner here... is that a command to put in the terminal?
[13:58] <Galerien> devi: put "lspci | grep VGA" without " in a terminal
[13:58] <phillyj> sipior: so this would add to the PATH?
[13:58] <sipior> phillyj: yep.
[13:58] <panfist> can i change the terminal bell so that it uses my main speakers instead of system speakers
[13:58] <sipior> phillyj: the braces aren't strictly necessary, but a good habit to get into.
[13:59] <b0n1> is it possible that with the new version of ubuntu some printers arent supported anymore ?
[13:59] <devi> Galerien: 00:0d.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C61 [GeForce 6150SE nForce 430] (rev a2)
[14:00] <devi> Galerien: ok, so what do i do with that now?
[14:00] <petsounds> hi. where can i find config file for gwibber? thanks
[14:00] <jessicaNatalie> hello guys. Where is the toshiba option in the .config file when recompiling kernel???????
[14:00] <NightlyUser> b0n1: yes, i have a lexmark printer and needed to download certain drivers and other dependancies
[14:00] <Galerien> devi: see my private message
[14:00] <Conficker-> yes how do I get a shell ?
[14:00] <tarzeau> you start a terminal?
[14:00] <blue_anna> jessicaNatalie: if no one here knows, try #ubuntu-kernel
[14:01] <jessicaNatalie> #ubuntu-kernel
[14:01] <jessicaNatalie> ok thanks
[14:01] <llutz> jessicaNatalie: grep -i tosh /boot/config-$(uname -r)
[14:02] <jessicaNatalie> blue_anna thanks
[14:02] <jessicaNatalie> llutz let me see
[14:02] <jessicaNatalie> llutz ok thanks
[14:04] <Iglotentje> testing!
[14:04] <StaRetji> He there, quick question: Does Ubuntu minimal has all drivers included?
[14:04] <blue_anna> can anyone help me with my usb card? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1493377 getting close to 200 views with no one knowing the answer
[14:04] <bazhang> StaRetji, no
[14:04] <shomon> how do I configure skype to work while other programs are running? on lucid
[14:04] <StaRetji> bazhang, thx!
[14:04] <bazhang> StaRetji, its only 12mb
[14:05] <StaRetji> so desktop it is :)
[14:05] <bazhang> StaRetji, you could go for alternate if you wish

[14:06] <krishnasut> lucid lynx gnome desktop takes long time to load
[14:06] <StaRetji> bazhang, I have to build live system on usb stick with persistent storage. I need, drivers, fluxbox, nothing else
[14:06] <vishpoison_> hey can anyone tell me where is the host table located in ubuntu??
[14:06] <StaRetji> bazhang, all possible drivers, it has to work on any pc
[14:06] <llutz> vishpoison_: /etc/hosts
[14:07] <vishpoison_> llutz: thanks :)
[14:07] <phlak_user> shomon: thats the default behavior i.e. to work with other programs
[14:07] <StaRetji> bazhang, I would appreaciate advise
[14:07] <b0n1> is it possible to just install the ubuntu 9.04 standard printer drivers ?
[14:07] <bazhang> StaRetji, sounds like you should remaster an iso then
[14:07] <bazhang> !remaster | StaRetji
[14:07] <NightlyUser> b0n1: what printer are you trying to get working?
[14:07] <b0n1> i mean it cant be a problem, my printer worked perfect in ubuntu 9.04
[14:07] <b0n1> epson stylus dx4850
[14:08] <shomon> not on mine phlak_user - it crashes instead :)
[14:08] <b0n1> i googled a bit but only found things about epson stylus 8450
[14:08] <bazhang> b0n1, what about at linuxprinting.org database
[14:09] <phlak_user> shomon: on lucid?
[14:09] <shomon> yes
[14:09] <StaRetji> bazhang, thx, it will be adventure for me, but has to give a try
[14:09] <phlak_user> shomon: can you launch skype from a terminal? we might be able to see some error messages
[14:09] <shomon> at least, it claims to be lucid. I had a power failure when it was just upgrading from hoary last night :(
[14:09] <onur> k
[14:09] <shomon> yeah I did with gdb too...
[14:09] <shomon> but just a sec I will again and c/p the error
[14:09] <bazhang> shomon, hoary?
[14:09] <phlak_user> shomon: IIRC you cant upgrade from hoary to lucid
[14:10] <shomon> 8.06?
[14:10] <b0n1> bazhang,  http://www.openprinting.org/drivers

[14:10] <bazhang> hardy shomon
[14:10] <shomon> hardy yeah sorry
[14:10] <b0n1> oh i searched for drivers
[14:10] <lint> hi there, has anyone figured out how to theme the cursor with compiz enabled?
[14:10] <phlak_user> shomon: hoary is a debian distro isnt it?
[14:10] <bazhang> lint, tried in #compiz ?
[14:10] <shomon> bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111)
[14:10] <llutz> phlak_user: ubuntu
[14:10] <bazhang> phlak_user, early Ubuntu
[14:10] <shomon> that's one of the errors
[14:11] <bazhang> !hoary
[14:11] <shomon> I'd show them all but there's 10 lines
[14:11] <phlak_user> ah yes
[14:11] <shomon> they are all to do with trying to find working audio devices
[14:11] <phlak_user> shomon: pastebin it please
[14:11] <shomon> but firefox has nicked them
[14:11] <shomon> okay
[14:11] <b0n1> NightlyUser,  do you think dx4800 works for dx 4850 ?
[14:11] <phlak_user> shomon: so are you on lucid or hardy/hoary?
[14:12] <NightlyUser> b0n1: i'd assume so, i use a lexmark z640 and the z600 driver works
[14:12] <shomon> here it is phlak_user http://pastebin.org/288148
[14:12] <phlak_user> shomon: lsb_release -a
[14:12] <shomon> that says lucid...
[14:12] <shomon> Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
[14:12] <shomon> Description:	Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
[14:13] <b0n1> where is the driver actualyl on that page
[14:13] <phlak_user> shomon: ok; that error log says its trying to use bluetooth
[14:13] <shomon> yeah but those errors don't actually crash it
[14:13] <b0n1> oh sorry
[14:13] <b0n1> i see it
[14:13] <shomon> it crashes when I click on an incoming conversation
[14:13] <NightlyUser> http://www.openprinting.org/driver/gutenprint
[14:13] <shomon> so I ran with gdb... and it complains lots about some obscure qt nonsense
[14:13] <b0n1> what means lsb ?
[14:13] <phlak_user> shomon: do you have pulseaudio
[14:13] <b0n1> lsb version ?
[14:13] <shomon> yes
[14:14] <shomon> I killed it to see if that was the problem... will restart
[14:14] <shomon> yeah it's running, and the crash happens anyway
[14:14] <shomon> I can run it enough to get into the settings though...
[14:14] <phlak_user> shomon: does it happen with the skype test call?
[14:14] <shomon> just trying
[14:14] <NightlyUser> b0n1: linux standard base
[14:15] <shomon> it says "problem with audio playback"
[14:15] <sreeju> when downloading a package from the web it will be tar.bz file.and after untar we get some files...how to install from it?
[14:15] <NightlyUser> b0n1: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Standard_Base
[14:15] <sreeju> please help
[14:15] <koichirose_> hello. I'm having problems setting the theme on Ubuntu 10.04. I'm choosing Human Clearlooks. Everything changes except nautilus windows (which are clearlooks, so all grey). How do I solve this?
[14:15] <phlak_user> shomon: can you get into options and sound devices
[14:15] <shomon> yes
[14:15] <bazhang> sreeju, what package
[14:15] <shomon> just a sec will open it
[14:15] <panfist> where are the ubuntu sound theme files stored?
[14:15] <drover> what is NX in my BIOS and how to turn it on, keep getting message that it is disabled in BIOS, a security feature, can't find it in BIOS??
[14:16] <shomon> they are all set for default
[14:16] <sreeju> any package
[14:16] <phlak_user> shomon: I have Pulseaudio server on all of them
[14:16] <bazhang> sreeju, which one at this point in time
[14:16] <sreeju> for eg kmplayer
[14:16] <shomon> ok will switch it now
[14:16] <Gerwin> sreeju: configure, make, make install
[14:16] <shomon> test sound works now!
[14:16] <bazhang> sreeju, always look in the repos first, no need to compile most of the time
[14:16] <phlak_user> shomon: and no crash?
[14:17] <sreeju> what is repos
[14:17] <retybok> I think I have found a bug in Ubuntu Netbook Edition. Where do I report it?
[14:17] <bazhang> !repos | sreeju
[14:17] <phlak_user> !repos | sreeju
[14:17] <phlak_user> ops
[14:17] <shomon> yeah no crash!!
[14:17] <phlak_user> shomon: does the mic work too?
[14:17] <shomon> but I'll see if clicking on that incoming conversation still crashes it
[14:17] <shomon> no the mic doesn't work
[14:17] <shomon> yup still crashing
[14:17] <phlak_user> shomon: dumb q but .. do you have a mic?
[14:17] <shomon> yes
[14:18] <shomon> it works on audacity and I can certainly hear the feedback if I turn it up
[14:18] <phlak_user> shomon: whats the error on the terminal on crash
[14:18] <Pwr> Hi there! I'm using ubuntu for a while now, and I've decided to use ubuntu on my home server. What it will do is run Sabnzbd, a torrent client and serve files (password protected shares) to windows and ubuntu computers. After installin the server all I get is a commandline... And I'm lost. "apt-get update" gets errors (as in, internet not working). So where do I begin? Is there a manual for beginners?
[14:18] <shomon> just "Aborted" but I can run it in gdb if that helps
[14:18] <shomon> the backtrace was humungous though
[14:18] <NightlyUser> !server | Pwr
[14:19] <phlak_user> shomon: maybe strace could give us some clue
[14:19] <greezmunkey> Is someone familiar with a process called rtkit-daemon? I see it running on my system clear back to my clean install of 10.04. What does it do?
[14:19] <M0D-1T> guys i need some help with gaming and screen resolution issues in ubuntu
[14:19] <shomon> okay
[14:19] <Galerien> hello, does anyone know an application (graphical and for newbies) that converts m4a to mp3??
[14:19] <Galerien> or ogg
[14:19] <sreeju> whether i have to install something to install packages after downloading from web?
[14:19] <Pwr> NightlyUser: Tnx
[14:19] <NightlyUser> np
[14:19] <h00k> Galerien: open up the Software Center and try 'Sound Converter'
[14:19] <phlak_user> Galerien: try oggenc
[14:19] <sreeju> other than software centre
[14:20] <shomon> ok I'll pastebin it too
[14:20] <Galerien> phlak_user: ok, that's not for me (i'm using some script...) but, i'll try that
[14:20] <Gerwin> sreeju: Most likely the tar files you downloaded contain a file called INSTALL, read that.
[14:20] <shomon> http://pastebin.org/288174
[14:20] <shomon> that's just the last bit before I clicked...
[14:21] <sreeju> but i cant install by that commands
[14:21] <M0D-1T> everytime i try launching a game with wine my desktop resolution crashes and changes from 1680x1050 to 640x480.. why? and how can i fix this problem?
[14:21] <NightlyUser> sreeju: kmplayer is available through synaptic
[14:22] <NightlyUser> !synaptic | sreeju
[14:22] <retybok> M0D-1T: you need to say what is your graphics card, what driver your are using and what game you are trying to run if you want people to help
[14:22] <h00k> M0D-1T: I'm not sure you'll be able to fix it, but you can check in #winehq
