[14:56] <Dr_Willis> not officially supported here - however...
[14:56] <torocatala> phreck, no, a nvdia 5200
[14:56] <phreck> hmm
[14:56] <jakerue> now can only seem to boot into the old partition, not the newly resized one
[14:56] <phreck> not sure then sorry.
[14:57] <danbhfive> !karmic | torocatala
[14:57] <mcoelho> good moring...
[14:57] <torocatala> thx danbhfive
[14:57] <mcoelho> i need of some help
[14:57] <iceroot> !ask | mcoelho
[14:57] <t__Eest> okay will check the chan
[14:58] <jakerue> the new partition was not seeing the new file size so I used gpart to shrink and then expand to get it to the new size.....still can't get to it
[14:58] <arand> jakerue: in what way did you "copy" ubuntu into the new partiton space?
[14:58] <jakerue> @ arand I used gparted
[14:59] <bjorkintosh> nice! ctrl-alt-bkspace is disabled by default :)
[14:59] <jakerue> it shows up as /dev/sda1 now and bootable when I use fdisk but I can't get to it
[14:59] <bjorkintosh> @$#$%#$%T#!
[14:59] <arand> jakerue: hmm, I'm not quite following you here: So you had what partitions to start with?
[14:59] <Pici> !dontzap | bjorkintosh
[15:00] <jakerue> I had 1 ext3, 2 NTFS and a swap
[15:00] <arand> jakerue: in that order?
[15:00] <mcoelho> bom dia
[15:00] <arand> jakerue: and all primary (not extended)?
[15:01] <mcoelho> como façao pra conseguir mapear automaticamente através do samba ?
[15:01] <bazhang> mcoelho, #ubuntu-br for brasilian, English here
[15:01] <jakerue> hmmm not sure how to answer that
[15:01] <mcoelho> sorry man..
[15:02] <jakerue> and no they weren't in that order....a NTFS was first, then another NTFS (Data) and then my ubuntu
[15:02] <arand> jakerue: so you had sda1 (ext3), sda2 (ntfs) and sda3 (swap)? Or was the naming different?
[15:02] <mido> guyz .... is there any program to cut a mpe track ?
[15:03] <mido> mp3*
[15:03] <Halitech> mido, audacity
[15:03] <t__Eest> how can i comne in the /.xchat2/ directory ?
[15:03] <mido> Halitech , thnx
[15:04] <jakerue> I don't remember exactly because I don't have it anymore.   I want to replace vista with ubuntu. I want the grub boot loader to load first and give the option to logon to windows or ubuntu. How do I do that?
[15:08] <adaptr> roy_1: install ubuntu, and that is what will happen
[15:08] <genii> !cn
[15:08] <digifor> chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory
[15:08] <digifor> What is causing the chroot problem?
[15:08] <adaptr> digifor: it's telling you, quite literally
[15:09] <lily_shu> hi guys.. please tell me how can i permanently kill gnome-power-manager..
[15:09] <JB1023> Can anybody tell me why when I try to map a drive on a WinXP machine I have to include the name of the folder twice such as \\server\pictures\pictures? It should just be \\server\pictures.
[15:09] <digifor> Isn't /bin/bash on the livecd?
[15:09] <roy_1> I don't have much space on hdd, so the vista drive has to be cleared. This drive has the bcd.
[15:09] <arand> jakerue: Ok, and you copied sda6 straight out to sda1, replacing a deleted ntfs partition?
[15:09] <jakerue> arand : yup
[15:09] <grawity> JB1023: You might have set up the share incorrectly
[15:10] <MikeSeth> JB1023: \\foo\a\b means box foo share a directory b
[15:10] <MikeSeth> JB1023: you are not exporting the share propertly
[15:10] <MikeSeth> properly*
[15:10] <arand> jakerue: And have you reinstalled grub after that?
[15:10] <jakerue> no, I haven't
[15:10] <Dr_Willis> JB1023:  check out the 'findsmb' and 'smbtree' command to see what  they see as the shares names.
[15:11] <jakerue> I actually followed this http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_resizing_ext3_partitions_p2 for  while
[15:11] <Zerosan> Hello
[15:12] <jakerue> ..actually all the whole thing
[15:12] <digifor> Does the ubuntu livecd have /bin/bash on it?
[15:12] <Dr_Willis> digifor:  pretty sure it has bash..  not sure its in /bin/ or /sbin
[15:12] <Dr_Willis>  /bin/bash  i think
[15:12] <grawity> It's /bin/bash, like always.
[15:12] <James147> digifor: it should, /bin/bash i think its location is
[15:12] <innomen> which button is my middle mouse?
[15:12] <Zerosan> I've got a little Problem with sharing a scanner through the network, the server is ubuntu-server 9.04 and the client is ubuntu-desktop 9.04 | well, client finds the scanner that is shared on the server, but the access is beeing denied.
[15:13] <innomen> like what number
[15:13] <innomen> i thought 3 but apprently i'm wrong
[15:13] <danbhfive> innomen: probably 3
[15:13] <Dr_Willis> innomen:  the one in  the middle? :)  thats #3 i think.
[15:13] <Zerosan> Scanning an image on the server as root works flawlessly
[15:13] <arand> jakerue: then that it what you should do. Boot a livecd, get into terminal, do "sudo grub" then "root (hd0,0)" then "setup (hd0)" and hopefully, you should be able to boot into the sda1 ubuntu partitions after that.
[15:13] <danbhfive> innomen: in what context?
[15:13] <digifor> Then I ask again Why is this happening? chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory
[15:13] <innomen> ok thanks i must have broken something
[15:13] <innomen> danbhfive, tryingt o make rotate cube my middle mouse button
[15:13] <arand> !grub > jakerue
[15:14] <innomen> set the binding to button 3, no dice
[15:14] <jakerue> arand: I could be in sda1 actually but the fs has not been resized
[15:14] <jakerue> in GRUB now there are 4 entries but all with the same UUID
[15:15] <Halitech> digifor, are you running it as sudo?
[15:15] <digifor> sudo su
[15:15] <Zerosan> can soemone help me on ubuntu-server + sane + network sharing of scanner?
[15:16] <arand> jakerue: but those are for the different kernels right?
[15:16] <kitallis> guys, i'm windows ntfs partition has stopped working (probably corrupt for some reason), so i can mount an ntfs drive from ubuntu, what should I do?
[15:16] <kitallis> s/i'm/my
[15:16] <MikeSeth> digifor: sudo -s
[15:16] <jakerue> arand: right you are
[15:16] <JB1023> smbtree sees it, when I run the findsmb I get a bunch of <IP_ADDRESS> Server [Domain] [Unix] [Samba 3.3.2] and then a bunch of unknown nis name entries and then a few servers, including this one.
[15:17] <digifor> thanks MikeSeth and Halitech for point out the error
[15:17] <jakerue> arand: I've actually got /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-11 through 15
[15:17] <MikeSeth> JB1023: you are not sharing the target directory but the one above it
[15:17] <Snake23> kitallis:  s/i\'m/my
[15:17] <kitallis> yeah.
[15:18] <MikeSeth> Snake23: no need to escape ' and you forgot the trailing slash :P
[15:18] <digifor> s
[15:18] <innomen> my machine apears to not see my middle mouse button
[15:18] <innomen> but i cant confirm that
[15:19] <innomen> how could i confirm that?
[15:19] <Dr_Willis> innomen:  tty the 'xev' command
[15:19] <MikeSeth> innomen: on some configurations you need to explicitly specify the mouse type in x/xorg configuration (google imps2)
[15:19] <innomen> Dr_Willis, shock and suprise you solved it
[15:19] <JB1023> thanks guys.  once again I overlooked the obvious and you found it.
[15:19] <arand> jakerue: so they all point ot the same partiton, I'm guessing that you are currently booting into sda6...
[15:20] <Dr_Willis> innomen:  on some of these  wheel mice - i find it a real pain to use the middle button. :(
[15:20] <zealiod> after reading the preseeding wikis over and over i am still left unsure what the bear minimum i need to do is to preseed an ISO... do I just need to edit the preseed file and rebuild the iso?
[15:20] <Dr_Willis> innomen:  the one i got now.. i find it next to impossible mioddle click. :(
[15:20] <jakerue> arand: I think you're right.  Now how can I get to sda1?
[15:20] <innomen> Dr_Willis, yea, i had one once with a huge wheel in the middle
[15:21] <innomen> like as wide as my finger and concave
[15:21] <Dr_Willis> innomen:  it is button 2 here.. when i can make it click
[15:21] <innomen> probabaly patented
[15:21] <innomen> so no one will ever see it again
[15:21] <zealiod> im not sure i understand the difference between file preseeding and initrd preseeding... even tho i've read about both... all i want to do is specify a couple of default values for the installation
[15:21] <innomen> Dr_Willis, same herew, b2
[15:21] <zealiod> whats the eaiest way of doing this?
[15:21] <arand> jakerue: are you booted now, in sda6? (if you run the command df look at the top line to see which partition is the current root filesystem)
[15:21] <mic53> hallo
[15:22] <jakerue> arand: I am in sda6
[15:22] <Dr_Willis> I have to be real carefull to not 'scroll' the wheel or it overrides the middle click it seems
[15:22] <innomen> ok i must sleep now
[15:22] <innomen> Dr_Willis, yup, i HATE that
[15:22] <innomen> l8r guys
[15:22] <innomen> thanks Doc :)
[15:22] <mazda01> nautilus has appeared to have frozen during a cut and paste of some files. what can I do so that I don't lose the files that I was cutting and pasting?
[15:23] <Nitrodist> hi, I'd like to know where smb shares are really mounted?
[15:23] <mic53> hi, can someone help me in compiling dmx4linux 2.6.1?
[15:23] <maximo__> !hello
[15:23] <Dr_Willis> Nitrodist:  on the fly shares by the user - see the .gvfs directroy in the users home.
[15:23] <mazda01> Nitrodist, what do you mean, really mounted?
[15:23] <Dr_Willis> Nitrodist:  from /etc/fstab they could go anywhere you want
[15:23] <zealiod> can anyone help with a preseeding question?
[15:23] <Nitrodist> great thanks Dr_Willis
[15:23] <arand> jakerue: ok, now we'll try adding an entry for ubuntu on sda1 into the grub menu: first use the command "blkid" and note the UUID for the sda1 partition.
[15:24] <Dr_Willis> Nitrodist:  whats confuseing is that the things dont show up in 'mount' output.. still not sure how they manage that
[15:24] <mazda01> nautilus has appeared to have frozen during a cut and paste of some files. what can I do so that I don't lose the files that I was cutting and pasting?
[15:24] <Nitrodist> now how do I get foobar2000 running in wine to display hidden folders :P
[15:24] <jakerue> arand:got it
[15:24] <arand> jakerue: then run "gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst"
[15:25] <vinto> guys, I need your help
[15:25] <jakerue> arand: it's telling me sda1 is NTFS
[15:25] <Dr_Willis> Nitrodist:  link the hidden dir to a diffrent name :) like 'Shares'
[15:25] <vinto> i want to install tor
[15:25] <arand> jakerue: oh..., that's not right...
[15:25] <Nitrodist> Dr_Willis, and how do I do that :P
[15:25] <Nitrodist> with mount?
[15:25] <jakerue> arand: yes....I agree
[15:25] <Dr_Willis> vinto:  check the tor wiki pages.. theres some issues with the tor packages (like they dont exist) :)
[15:25] <RS_Asleep> Hello :)
[15:25] <Dr_Willis> Nitrodist:  No with 'ln -s'
[15:25] <Dr_Willis>  ln -s onething otherthing
[15:26] <Gr1> Greetings all. I am getting an error like ImportError: No module named GDK
[15:26] <Gr1>  when trying to run a benchmark application. Any idea on how to get this fixed?
[15:26] <Dr_Willis> and i always get it backwards. :)
[15:26] <Dr_Willis> night all
[15:26] <arand> jakerue: Could you pastebin the output of "fdisk -l" ?
[15:26] <arand> !pastebin | jakerue
[15:26] <vinto> Dr_Willis: ok, I'll try it
[15:26] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, when using ln -s, the target is first, then the directory link name is last.
[15:27] <RS_Asleep> Is there anyone using CUPS on an ubuntu server who would be able to help me out please? :)
[15:28] <jakerue> arand: http://paste.ubuntu.com/258716/plain/
[15:28] <haf1ztang> Dr_Willis: can help me with my wireless pls
[15:28] <lamba> hello. a log file filled my harddrive so 0 byes were free. i've deleted a 1.5gb file (on command line rm) but the disk is still given as full ;-/ - there's some sore of sync needed ?
[15:29] <Halitech> RS_Asleep, what kind of help do you need?
[15:29] <MikeSeth> lamba: you probably deleted from the wrong partition, df -h
[15:29] <lamba> didnt.
[15:30] <lamba> theres 1 partition :)
[15:30] <MikeSeth> lamba: can't happen with file this big, check yourself. Filesystems reserve some space for root.
[15:30] <arand> jakerue: and that one says linux... and blkid gives ntfs? that is odd...
[15:30] <navatwo> I just installed Songbird, now how would I add it into the "Applications" menu? Since its not from the repos, I don't know how to add it.

[15:32] <bjorkintosh> i've got alsa running, but no sound.
[15:33] <bjorkintosh> does it need something else?
[15:33] <thiebaude> !alsa
[15:33] <Sirisian|Work__> how do you find where a command is located? I forgot the command.
[15:33] <Halitech> bjorkintosh, have  you checked nothing is muted?
[15:33] <bjorkintosh> yeah
[15:33] <Explodus_> Sirisian|Work__, which
[15:33] <Halitech> bjorkintosh, aplay -l show anything?
[15:34] <bjorkintosh> gaaah! it removed my sound card too. that explains that.
[15:34] <Dziku> #punkpl
[15:34] <bjorkintosh> forcibly removing gnome considered dangerous
[15:35] <Halitech> bjorkintosh, sudo apt-get install alsa-base alsa-utils hal then run alsaconf
[15:36] <bjorkintosh> they were all installed.
[15:36] <arand> jakerue: Yea, that is just odd, could try to boot into it using that UUID but something tells me it might not work: Anyhow, if you want to try do "gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" then scroll down to the first entry you currently use, copy that one into a new entry, put a different title and edit the UUID to match that one for sda1, then save and reboot, and see what happens when you start that entry in the grub menu.
[15:36] <rsk> Halitech: there's no alsaconf
[15:36] <rsk> in ubuntu
[15:37] <Halitech> rsk, bummer
[15:37] <rsk> no shit
[15:37] <rsk> gives so much extra problems by removing it
[15:37] <Halitech> rsk, now I know why I prefer Debian, still has tools to fix things that Ubuntu doesn't
[15:37] <mazda01> nautilus has appeared to have frozen during a cut and paste of some files. what can I do so that I don't lose the files that I was cutting and pasting?
[15:38] <mazda01> also, my desktop icons have gone away. do I just restart metacity? i force quit nautilus
[15:38] <abu> is there a similar server app to citrix solutions?
[15:38] <bjorkintosh> hmm. alsamixer shows a card
[15:38] <bjorkintosh> but there's no alsaconf
[15:39] <rsk> as i said, no alsaconf in ubuntu
[15:39] <ranjan> mazda01: whats the problem??
[15:40] <mazda01> ranjan, well, i was cuting and pasting some files in nautilus from one nfs share to another nfs share and nautilus froze. so I force quit it and now nautilus wont open and my desktop icons are gone and so is my conky.
[15:40] <mnaines> 16.7 ampere-hours is how much my laptop's charger and the external hard drive require
[15:40] <ranjan> mazda01: just logout and come back it will be ok
[15:40] <Halitech> mazda01, just make sure you uncheck the option to save settings
[15:41] <mazda01> ok, thanks both of you. will try that

[15:42] <Jimmio> Hello all. I recently modified my fstab to allow a partition to mount. I currently am having MANY issues with permissions... again. Why can't Ubuntu just mount it for me? v.v
[15:42] <Halitech> Jimmio, what type of partition are you mounting?
[15:43] <Jimmio> Halitech: ntfs
[15:43] <Halitech> Jimmio, can you paste bin your fstab
[15:43] <bjorkintosh> Halitech, did you know that alsaconf is not included in ubuntu?
[15:44] <Halitech> bjorkintosh, not until rsk mentioned it
[15:44] <Jimmio> Halitech: Just a second here... What should the umask value be? It's set to 000... for some reason I think that's incorrect.
[15:44] <bjorkintosh> ah i missed that.
[15:44] <Sirmimer> I need help - to test if my mic is working in general (So i can see if its the programs my mic aint working in, or my mic)
[15:44] <arand> jakerue: yes, that is what I had in mind, now you could try rebooting and see if that entry works.
[15:45] <ranjan> Jimmio: umask should not be set to 000
[15:45] <Jimmio> ranjan: I figured. 775..?
[15:45] <Halitech> Jimmio, according to here it is 007 http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/mountwindowsfstab
[15:45] <llutz> !ntfs-3g | Jimmio
[15:45] <ranjan> Jimmio: ya thats better
[15:46] <bjorkintosh> is OSS a better option than ALSA?
[15:46] <jakerue> arand: I don't want to try it right now because I have to finish planning for tomorrow.  I sure hope that does work!  If I come back tomorrow you know it didn't!  Thanks for the help
[15:46] <llutz> umask 775?  no way
[15:46] <anas> howto mount  usb  on ubuntu 9.04 from command line
[15:47] <ranjan> anas: just find the device node by using sudo fdisk -l
[15:47] <Jimmio> bjorkintosh: For what? Default installs now use PulseAudio on top of ALSA and it's almost always perfect. Almost. Latency seems to be the issue. Just like how DirectSound is slower than ASIO4All under Windows
[15:47] <RS_Asleep> How do you know if a printer is operating in ECP mode or EPP mode?
[15:47] <ubby> hi
[15:48] <arand> jakerue: Ok, I think that if it does work, and you want to transfer over to that partition completely, you should reinstall grub (look for guides) into using partiton.
[15:48] <Halitech> !hi | ubby
[15:48] <ubby> :)
[15:48] <ranjan> anas: then use sudo mount /dev/sdx /mnt    where x is the value from fstab
[15:48] <ubby> !hi | Halitech
[15:48] <gst> hello all..
[15:48] <ubby> :D

[15:50] <lollan> Hi, I can't find the .emacs folder on my home, instead I have emacs.d , anyone can tell me where to find .emacs ? I need it to install some plugin.
[15:50] <xinhaiwx565> 大家好
[15:51] <ruben23> hi
[15:51] <Jimmio> I installed a package that added a python utility to setup fstab. I don't own any of the files, not in the group, mask set to 000, and yet I can freely do anything with the files... What gives?
[15:51] <ubby> lollan: if it's not in your home directory then I guess there no exists any .emacs directory in your filesystem. You should check for an emacs (without leading dot) somwhere in /usr/local or so
[15:52] <lollan> ok ubby I'll check there thanks
[15:52] <llutz> Jimmio:  umask=000 means everbody can do anything
[15:53] <ubby> np

[15:53] <coldReactive42> My problem is comment 68
[15:53] <Nitrodist> oh wait... I think llutz is correct XD
[15:55] <llutz> Jimmio:  go do some reading what umask is and how if affects permissions

[15:57] <Pici> zagabar1: no. Unless you run mIRC in Wine, there are no other applications that can run them.
[15:58] <zagabar1> Pici: Oh. Is there a way to convert them? Or how about making a VM that runs mIRC on windows in ubuntu?

[15:59] <Pici> zagabar1: Installing mIRC in Wine would be easier than running all of Windows in a VM, and I don't know of any way to convert them.

[16:14] <big-G-upstairs> :D
[16:15] <MikeSeth> RS_Asleep: EPP/ECP should also work, these are subprotocols supported by modern hardware (but you might need to specify that in bios settings)

[16:15] <t__Eest> where can i find graphic settings ?

[16:16] <Nitrodist> arand as in, I don't want to copy 200gb of stuff from networked devices
[16:16] <Halitech> RS_Asleep, usb or lpt connection?
[16:16] <bjorkintosh> RS_Asleep, you're ircing in your sleep again.
[16:16] <RS_Asleep> MikeSeth: Yeah. I was wondering if I could find out what was being used direct from Ubuntu though.

[16:17] <Xubuntnoob> llutz: what does -d = for screen?
[16:17] <MikeSeth> RS_Asleep: it doesnt matter from software perspective, this is a purely hardware configuration matter
[16:17] <MikeSeth> Xubuntnoob: detachn
[16:17] <RS_Asleep> bjorkintosh: Aye, something to do :)
[16:17] <RS_Asleep> MikeSeth: Okay.
[16:17] <Xubuntnoob> so -r = restore?

[16:20] <RS_Asleep> Halitech: I'm running CUPS with a Samsung parallel port printer on Ubuntu and sharing it with a Windows XP machine (with the XP machine using the MS Publisher ImageSetter driver). Thing is, it seems to be taking ages to print and that it's spending a lot of time "processing". For example I've just sent a 4 page Open Office Calc sheet to it with a size of 204K and it's been going now 40 minutes.
[16:20] <i00nsu> i go to windows machine and ctrl+p to print a page ("hello World") and i got Cover Page. bjork Samsung ML-1640
[16:20] <laeg> !flash
[16:21] <Halitech> RS_Asleep, what about printing from the machine with the printer installed? how does that work?
[16:21] <tinkerdom> join #java
[16:21] <i00nsu> bjorkintosh: samsung ML-1640 << USB
[16:21] <RS_Asleep> Works fine. It used to be shared on a seperate machine but I moved it to the linux box as that was always on, Halitech.
[16:22] <RS_Asleep> It used to be shared on a Windows machine I mean.
[16:22] <Halitech> RS_Asleep, so printing locally is fine and only has an issue printing from a networked machine
[16:22] <navatwo> So, I would ask here, but it takes to long, so if anyone can take a look at this, I would appreciate it: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7838778
[16:23] <RS_Asleep> Oh, I'm with you now. Sorry halitech, I misunderstood.
[16:23] <RS_Asleep> I was thinking you mean the printer on the Windows XP machine.
[16:23] <RS_Asleep> Brain rot :/
[16:23] <Halitech> RS_Asleep, no, since you installed it on the linux box
[16:23] <L3dPlatedLinux> i need to put a wpa key in wlan how would i get this done
[16:23] <L3dPlatedLinux>  for server
[16:23] <RS_Asleep> I've been googling for info for the past 2 hours so my brain is iffy.
[16:24] <JohannesSM64> it's hugely annoying how i don't get ANY kind of info on why it's "unable to enabel visual effects"
[16:24] <JohannesSM64> what's the usual causes?
[16:24] <Halitech> RS_Asleep, also, is there any adapters being used in the cabling?
[16:24] <IdleOne> What is the name of the app that adds minimize to tray?
[16:25] <Halitech> JohannesSM64, what video card and what version of Ubuntu?
[16:25] <i00nsu> bjorkintosh: the thing is: I print page and I get 2 or more pages saying: "Cover Page: title smbprn.00000001 Document"
[16:26] <JohannesSM64> Halitech, ubuntu 9.04.. *checks video card*
[16:26] <RS_Asleep> Halitech: I have an extension cable, but without it, still the same. It will print documents, it's just very slow between me sending it and it printing it.
[16:26] <frealek> hi everybody. I'm trying to build modules for ubuntu 9.04. I'm running linux-image-2.6.28-15-generic  and compiling using linux-source-2.6.28,  and compiled modules vermagic is <IP_ADDRESS>... I didn't have this problem on debian, is there a way I can make the modules with vermagic 2.6.28-15-generic ?... thanks in advance
[16:27] <bazhang> IdleOne, alltray ?
[16:27] <Halitech> RS_Asleep, ok, just wondering if there was an adapter as I haven't seen many machines with an lpt port lately
[16:27] <JohannesSM64> Halitech, nvidia geforce 8500 GT
[16:27] <IdleOne> bazhang: so simple I would never have guessed it lol. Thank you
[16:27] <bazhang> IdleOne, :)
[16:27] <Halitech> JohannesSM64, did you enable the restricted drivers?
[16:27] <JohannesSM64> Halitech, how?
[16:28] <RS_Asleep> Halitech: It's a VIA C3 cpu with onboard parallel port :)
[16:28] <Halitech> JohannesSM64, System - admin - hardware drivers
[16:28] <Halitech> RS_Asleep, ok :)
[16:28] <RS_Asleep> Halitech: I've also just got the linux box to print a test page and it took about 30 seconds before it started to print :)
[16:29] <Halitech> RS_Asleep, so local printing is fine, something to do with the sharing, the network or the way you installed the driver on windows :) ( I know, narrows it down alot ;) )
[16:29] <JohannesSM64> Halitech, "no propietary drivers are in use on this system"
[16:29] <navatwo> So, I would ask here, but it takes to long, so if anyone can take a look at this, I would appreciate it: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7838778
[16:30] <Halitech> JohannesSM64, ok, you will need to do it manually then, I'm not sure as I don't have an nvidia card
[16:30] <Halitech> !nvidia | JohannesSM64
[16:30] <RS_Asleep> Halitech: While the file is obviously getting there cos pritning on Windows takes seconds. I'm assuming either state processing is the linux box converting the file into something it can use or the sending of the into the printer :/
[16:30] <bjorkintosh> good GOD this is driving me nucking FUTS!
[16:30] <lexr> hi, can anyone tell me why is my ubuntu only using one core at a time while the other core is only at 8-10% utilization and they simultaneously turn around? And how do I make it use 2gb of ram, it only uses 280-300mb, and work very slowly (openoffice calc)...
[16:31] <bjorkintosh> i should remove all traces of ubuntu from this machine to restore my sanity :|
[16:31] <bjorkintosh> i thought it was just gnome, but i'm getting rather suspicious
[16:31] <Berzerker> lexr, if it doesn't need the RAM, it won't use it.
[16:31] <DaZ-> lexr, did you do something with the kernel? <:
[16:31] <lexr> nothing at all
[16:32] <lexr> clean install
[16:32] <lexr> I am using 32bit version on AMD 5200+
[16:32] <IdleOne> bazhang: alltray doesnt seem to work with Songbird
[16:32] <lexr> when I select rows in OO calc (a file with 350 rows) it really goes slooowly
[16:33] <lexr> and my system monitor only shows one core working hard and only 280mb of ram using... Is there a way to speed it up a bit?
[16:34] <DaZ-> lexr, anything else than openoffice?
[16:34] <bazhang> IdleOne, hmm, that's odd; perhaps only stuff from repos work?
[16:34] <IdleOne> bazhang: possibly
[16:34] <lexr> mmm, did not notice anything else. DaZ-
[16:34] <Halitech> lexr, you may want to look at using the amd64 version, the 32 bit won't take full advantage of the dual core
[16:34] <anas> howto install driver sis m672 on ubuntu
[16:34] <lexr> Halitech, thanx mate
[16:35] <Halitech> lexr, unfortunately it means a complete reinstall as there is no way or upgrading from 32 to 64
[16:35] <DaZ-> Halitech, wrong
[16:35] <bazhang> IdleOne, seems songbird has an addon called firetray, there is also an ubuntuforums thread on the two which I'm reading now
[16:36] <lexr> I know that :(, but, what the heck, it works perfectly smooth. Halitech , I will give it a go on next weekend.
[16:36] <DaZ-> at least it is possible on arch
[16:36] <lexr> DaZ-, is there a way to upgrade?
[16:36] <IdleOne> bazhang: thank you will look into it also
[16:36] <Halitech> DaZ-, wrong?
[16:36] <lexr> all the programs that have 64bit version have to be reinstalled, and also the Kernel himself
[16:36] <DaZ-> lexr, i switched repositories to 64bit and reinstalled packages <:
[16:36] <zagabar1> Hmm, I installed mIRC in wine on my server but I cannot seem to connect to any server with it. :S
[16:36] <mhall119|work> Anyone know why CALDAV appointments wouldn't show up in the gnome-panel clock applet?
[16:36] <lexr> DaZ-, and it worked???
[16:36] <DaZ-> yes
[16:37] <DaZ-> and it worked when i switched back
[16:37] <Halitech> DaZ-, in theory that should work but I don't know how stable it would be or what it would leave behind

[16:46] <bjorkintosh> i don't see it.
[16:46] <bjorkintosh> i see pulse though.
[16:46] <miguelonnnn> my idea is to mount the ubuntu iso on my system, dd it to the usb, and then make a mbr on the 0 sector, but to make that, i need that dd do not dump part of the ubuntu image into sector 0, because mbr would overwrite that data
[16:46] <darksifer> hi guys
[16:47] <linuxninja> miguelonnnn: There's more to it then that
[16:47] <mhall119|work> miguelonnnn: just use the USB Startup creator
[16:47] <miguelonnnn> yeah its a flash, and i don't want to use any program, please, just one to make the mbr
[16:47] <Insaan> miguelonnnn, or use unetbootin
[16:47] <darksifer> can i use ext4 for ? and ext3 for/home without any problems
[16:47] <shibs> all the applications are going to background wile opening ...pls help
[16:47] <mhall119|work> miguelonnnn: why don't you want to use any programs?
[16:48] <linuxninja> miguelonnnn: there is a way to make the mbr but that's not all you need
[16:48] <Organzzz> hey all
[16:48] <miguelonnnn> i know there exists unetbootin, and grub and so on, but i just want to dump the iso into 1-end sectors, and leave 0 for mbr. How can i do it? i thought about partitioning, but there's the same problem, how can i tell a partitioning program to start at sector 1 of the flash?
[16:48] <miguelonnnn> hey Organzzz
[16:48] <drk> hi all
[16:49] <miguelonnnn> hi drk hehe
[16:49] <drk>  i wanna ask something
[16:49] <IdleOne> ask
[16:49] <miguelonnnn> do it ;)
[16:49] <miguelonnnn> linuxninja tell me how please
[16:49] <drk> how can i add a animated weather desktop wallpaper?
[16:49] <bjorkintosh> so aplay -l lists the proper options when i'm root
[16:49] <mhall119|work> miguelonnnn: the USB Startup Disk Creator does exactly what you want, it creates the MBR and dumps the contents of the ISO to a USB stick
[16:49] <bjorkintosh> and tells me there's nothing to see as a regular user.
[16:49] <darksifer> hi guys can i use ext4 for / and ext3 for /home without any problems and lack of performance???
[16:50] <mhall119|work> darksifer: you should be fine with that
[16:50] <oviedovive> hola
[16:50] <oviedovive> alguien que hable español?
[16:50] <shibs> darksifer: ya you can
[16:50] <IdleOne> !es
[16:50] <linuxninja> miguelonnnn: Oh, sorry... I was thinking of something else. What you want is a boot loader
[16:50] <Organzzz> could anybody help me with plesk??
[16:50] <darksifer> ok thanks
[16:50] <miguelonnnn> yeah mhall119|work , i know there exists programs that do that, but i want to do it on my own. Please do you know how can i tell dd to start at sector 1, or make a partition at sector 1?
[16:51] <Sirmimer> Hi i need help with 3 programs called "Urban Terror", "Mumble", and "TeamSpeak 2" - if anyone know anything to them, please pm me!
[16:51] <simran> how can i automate the keyring password ?
[16:51] <mhall119|work> miguelonnnn: oh, in that case no
[16:51] <bazhang> michaelc, ultimate is not supported here
[16:51] <mhall119|work> you can tell dd to skip a number of blocks
[16:51] <michaelc> hello people how to i get a serch in my menu im new to this

[16:52] <bazhang> twint, #ubuntu-br
[16:52] <linuxninja> miguelonnnn: If you dd the ISO to the flash drive it won't boot.
[16:52] <miguelonnnn> mhall119|work, , what caould i do then?
[16:52] <IdleOne> !br
[16:52] <Berzerker> !br | twint
[16:52] <simran> how can i automate the keyring password ?
[16:52] <simran> !keyring
[16:52] <twint> muito obrigado
[16:52] <mhall119|work> miguelonnnn: look at the source code for the USB Startup Disk Creator to see how it does it
[16:53] <Organzzz> plesk help anyone????
[16:53] <twint> !br
[16:53] <miguelonnnn> yeah linux, because i need to make a mbr first, but if dd copied data into sector 0 of the flash, it will get override when i write the mbr, so how can i tell dd to copy starting at sector 1?
[16:53] <IdleOne> twint: /join #ubuntu-br
[16:53] <mhall119|work> miguelonnnn: dd has a skip flag
[16:53] <miguelonnnn> is it bash script? or C?
[16:53] <miguelonnnn> GREAT, ! that's what  ineed
[16:53] <miguelonnnn> i need to set a 512 flag
[16:54] <miguelonnnn> 512 bytes, ( the first sector)
[16:54] <mhall119|work> miguelonnnn: I have no idea what language it's in
[16:54] <linuxninja> miguelonnnn: You can't dd the iso image to the mbr. Its too big and it doesn't have the right information.
[16:54] <mhall119|work> but it most likely calls out to other programs to do the actual work
[16:54] <miguelonnnn> i just know a little C hehe, i couldn't understand how it works at such low level
[16:54] <ZenMasta> I used a live cd to backup my win computer before formatting. I compressed to gz. I'm wondering if there is a way I can explore the backup to retreive some files
[16:54] <mhall119|work> miguelonnnn: dd SKIP=BLOCKS
[16:54] <ruspix> ciao a tutti
[16:55] <IdleOne> ZenMasta: unzip it
[16:55] <miguelonnnn> ciao ruspix
[16:55] <mhall119|work> miguelonnnn: looks like it's python
[16:55] <ruspix> ciao
[16:55] <miguelonnnn> ok linuxninja  and mhall119|work , but linuxninja why dd won't work?
[16:55] <IdleOne> !it | ruspix
[16:56] <linuxninja> miguelonnnn: You need a boot loader.
[16:56] <miguelonnnn> if i set a correct mbr and then i dump the cd iso to the flash usb, it should, don't you think?
[16:56] <Explodus_> I'm having an issue when GDM starts from inital boot my system dead locks - can't control+alt+backspace - can't switch to TTY - only thing it resopnds to is RSEIUB - more info http://paste.ubuntu.com/258679/ -- Advance thanks for advise
[16:56] <ZenMasta> IdleOne When I open the file mybackup.gz all that is inside is another file called backup and I don't see an extension (i'm in windows)
[16:56] <linuxninja> miguelonnnn: If you dd the iso to a hard drive it won't boot... Read about boot loaders
[16:57] <miguelonnnn> why? i know i'll need if i want to double boot, but why i need it for 1 single partiton?
[16:57] <IdleOne> ZenMasta: double click that file
[16:57] <IdleOne> ZenMasta: not sure honestly
[16:58] <grawity> miguelonnnn: It doesn't matter how many OSes you have, there still needs to be some kind of a bootloader that can start those OSes.
[16:58] <linuxninja> miguelonnnn: All operating systems have a boot loader. When you turn on any computer the BIOS starts, checks the hardware, then looks for a boot loader...
[16:58] <grawity> Switching between them is just a secondary function.
[16:58] <miguelonnnn> ok then, i need a bootloader
[16:58] <ZenMasta> IdleOne I'll checkthe forums then. thanks
[16:58] <miguelonnnn> but grub gets installed on mbr, doesn't it?
[16:59] <sekaab> hello linux users
[17:00] <linuxninja> miguelonnnn: Yes, grub is your boot loader. You don't install it with dd. Well, not off an ISO.
[17:00] <lanzelloth> what kind of regex does ls use?
[17:01] <miguelonnnn> my idea now is the following: mount the iso, dd it to the usb with SKIP=1 (block of 512 bytes, that is, the MBR, so i can later install grub there), then i install grub at sector 0, and make it bootable with a partition table and that's it?
[17:01] <simran> !brainstorm
[17:01] <ckill> Just a test
[17:01] <lanzelloth> nvm it's bash
[17:01] <sekaab> i got a problem with my mount system ... yesterday i had a read error as i played a dvd ... after that i ejected (manually) cleaned dvd and reinsertet but it didnt even recognized the eject provess ... an now i cant mount anything ... computer is not rebooted til now
[17:01] <apparle> how to modify strings in bash scripts.....Actually I am taking the argument to script as somefilename.ext and I want to generate a variable which will contain the filename without the extension
[17:02] <James147> miguelonnnn: if you want to make a live usb from an iso use usb-creator (in the ubuntu repos) makes things ALOT easier
[17:02] <ckill> Hi all very new here and have some mail server questions
[17:02] <miguelonnnn> i know james, but i'm really stub and i want to make things the hard way haha, just to learn
[17:02] <remoteCTRL3> hi all!
[17:02] <linuxninja> miguelonnnn: No, that worn't work. You need to do some reading about how operating systems work before you try this on your own. I suggest you use a program and see how they do it.
[17:02] <miguelonnnn> hi !! remoteCTRL3
[17:02] <simran> my system is set to autologin and i dnt want ubunto to ask for a keyring everytime i boot...what to do?
[17:02] <James147> miguelonnnn: pendrive linux has more howtos on creating live usbs then,
[17:02] <grawity> simran: Set the keyring's password to an empty one.
[17:03] <simran> grawity how?
[17:03] <remoteCTRL3> can anyone tell me what i need to do in order not only to see "real" logins with last but also when someone enters a pwd on return from locked screen?
[17:03] <grawity> simran: Accessories -> Passwords and Encryption Keys
[17:03] <ckill> I have a typical linux mail server postfix....I would like to upgrade. This http://flurdy.com/docs/postfix/ seemed to be a good guide what do yall think
[17:03] <James147> miguelonnnn: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/
[17:03] <simran> that was fast lol
[17:03] <miguelonnnn> lol linuxninja  i read the last month, eveyr day on wikipedia and many other sites about mbr, disks, operating  systems, bios, efi and so on. I thought i was prepared now :S
[17:03] <grawity> simran: Then click on the "Passwords" tab, right-click on the Login keyring, and choose Change Password
[17:04] <miguelonnnn> i'll try that james, thanks
[17:04] <linuxninja> miguelonnnn: There's a lot to learn. took me years before I got "some" of it ;)
[17:04] <sekaab> i got a problem with my mount system ... yesterday i had a read error as i played a dvd ... after that i ejected (manually) cleaned dvd and reinsertet but it didnt even recognized the eject provess ... an now i cant mount anything ... computer is not rebooted til now
[17:04] <jMyles> I want to vinagre into my desktop at home.  I have not set this up in advance, but I have SSH access.  vino-server is already running, but I think it is asking the user sitting there (nobody) for confirmation.  What can I do?
[17:04] <zagabar1> Is it possible to use Xming trough a putty window running screen
[17:04] <miguelonnnn> i'll stay in here ok? keep up speaking linuxninja hehe
[17:04] <zagabar1> ?
[17:05] <miguelonnnn> lol!! years :S
[17:05] <simran> grawity thanks
[17:05] <llutz> apparle:  http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/refcards.html#AEN21811       String operations
[17:05] <remoteCTRL3> unop: bazhang any of you dudes there?
[17:05] <kevdog> zagabar1: do you have a local xserver running?
[17:05] <ckill> I have ubuntu loaded on a 750GB 7200RPM drive.  I also have a 300GB 10000RPM drive in the machine and would like to move the entire OS over to it...any ideas?
[17:05] <zagabar1> kevdog: xming.
[17:06] <gzrb1> hi ive got ubuntu installed on one partition. if if delete everything in the ubuntu partition in windows and restart the computer will i have any problems with the boot manager or will i just boot into windows normally
[17:06] <kevdog> zagabar1: That's a local xserver?
[17:06] <llutz> gzrb1:  restore windows-MBR first
[17:06] <James147> gzrb1: grub will fail to load anything and you wont bable to boot
[17:06] <sekaab> i got a problem with my mount system ... yesterday i had a read error as i played a dvd ... after that i ejected (manually) cleaned dvd and reinsertet but it didnt even recognized the eject provess ... an now i cant mount anything ... computer is not rebooted til now
[17:06] <IdleOne> !fixmbr | gzrb1
[17:07] <gzrb1> !fixmbr
[17:07] <James147> gzrb1: after you delete ubuntu you should be able to use the windows recovery disk to restore the mbr, but read up on it first
[17:08] <gzrb1> ok thanks guys!
[17:08] <apparle> llutz: thanks
[17:08] <cornjuliox> hey, what are the default permissions for /dev/dsp? i did a chmod 660 on them and would like to change them back :-/
[17:08] <ckill> I have ubuntu loaded on a 750GB 7200RPM drive.  I also have a 300GB 10000RPM drive in the machine and would like to move the entire OS over to it...any ideas?
[17:08] <zagabar1> kevdog: Oh, you mean on the server side? Yeah. It works. When I start mirc through wine, I get the window through putty into xming, but then if I exit it, start screen up and then start mirc again, it doesn't work.
[17:08] <jMyles> I'm looking for help VNCing into my home computer.  I have SSH access.
[17:09] <llutz> ckill:  use rsync/tar/cp or whatever you want to copy. configure fstab and grub after copying
[17:09] <chris99> If you can boot windows you can use a program called mbrfix find it using google or cnet download
[17:09] <void1> hi, im trying to share the internet connection with nat and iptables ( ubuntu 8.04 ) but im not getting it, can some one help me ou indicate a tutorial? OBS: with firestarter the share works
[17:09] <llutz> !ics | void1
[17:09] <IdleOne> chris99: why use a third party app when he can do it from his windows cd?
[17:09] <bjorkintosh> is there ANY reason that aplay -l will give me a listing in the console but refuse to work in an xterm?
[17:10] <kevdog> zagabar1: Lets start over -- the concept of client/server is messed up when it comes to x.  For the connecting ssh client (I guess the one running putty in your situation), there has to be on this machine a X server running.  The X server is on the client machine
[17:10] <chris99> If you have windows and can boot it is faster than waiting for your cd drive to get the point were you can do  a repair
[17:10] <simran> one last problem - there is a hidden fat32 recovery partition that show in ubuntu and can even be mounted, this drive doesnt show in fstab, however does show when fdisk -l and the drive has * under the "boot" column as shown here -->
[17:10] <ckill> llutz "configure fstab and grub after copying" this is what I need to understand better?  what do I need to do because the drive I am going to is actually smaller.
[17:10] <simran> http://paste.ubuntu.com/258174/grawityhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/258174/grawity
[17:11] <chris99> simran is this an acer?
[17:11] <zagabar1> kevdog: I see. Yeah, that is then Xming. I have it running in my task bar and it works for applications run outside screen
[17:11] <llutz> ckill:  UUIDs will change and possibly partition-number
[17:11] <simran> chris99 asus
[17:11] <iceroot> how to set ksnapshot as default if pressing the print-key? because it is much better then the gnome-screenshot-tool.
[17:11] <llutz> ckill:  size doesn't matter
[17:11] <PC-KoPaT> test
[17:11] <simran> its been bugging the hell out of me for ages (2 days) lol
[17:11] <iceroot> PC-KoPaT: success
[17:11] <PC-KoPaT> thank
[17:12] <simran> because its my kids laptop and i dont want him messing around with the recovery partition
[17:12] <void1> tks!
[17:12] <ckill> Thats good to know thanks
[17:12] <kevdog> zagabar1: Did you set up your sshd.conf file to be able to forward connections and then when you logged in from the client did you pass the -x flag?
[17:12] <llutz> ckill:  you also will have to reinstall grub to partition or mbr of the new disk
[17:12] <sekaab> i got a problem with my mount system ... yesterday i had a read error as i played a dvd ... after that i ejected (manually) cleaned dvd and reinsertet but it didnt even recognized the eject provess ... an now i cant mount anything ... computer is not rebooted til now
[17:12] <ckill> OK so how about grub do I use live cd to get that back...yes I knwo a noob
[17:13] <chris99> simram could be the same as aser then. Acer uses this for the restore partition is that on acer if you have linux installed it is useless and will not work, you have to restore the windows mbr first
[17:13] <zagabar1> kevdog: Yup. As I said, I get Xming windows when running stuff from putty. The problem is when I start screen.
[17:13] <llutz> !mbr |ckill
[17:13] <llutz> ckill:  not sure but i guess you'll find needed info there ^^
[17:13] <kevdog> zagabar1: what's the problem with screen?
[17:14] <ckill> i appreciate this
[17:14] <ckill> are yall familiar with mail servers? llutz
[17:15] <zagabar1> kevdog: I start up screen to run mirc inside it so that I can close the putty window and let it be run in the background. But when I start screen, and from that session start mirc.exe, it fails to find my X-server
[17:15] <llutz> ckill:  not really
[17:15] <zagabar1> kevdog: but when I run mirc.exe without starting screen, then it workd
[17:15] <llutz> ckill:  but postfix is very good documented :)
[17:16] <mementomori> hi
[17:16] <ckill> Thanks that is what I have set up now....I have new to this job and I am having to learn what is alreasy here...going backwards
[17:16] <kevdog> zagabar1: That's one of the mysteries of the X windowing system I know nothing about. Probably has something to do with display variable, but who knows?  There is always cygwin X you could try
[17:17] <pedrocr> !intel
[17:17] <ckill> It just seems antiquated with no imap or HTML support
[17:17] <Athen> is there a good way to recover passwords in firefox ?
[17:17] <zagabar1> kevdog: I see. So it should be possible to do X windowing from screen?
[17:17] <chris99> ckill you could install webmin it at least will give you some gui help
[17:17] <kevdog> zagabar1: I can't say that I've tried this over a ssh connection
[17:17] <mementomori> I've just installed jaunty on an acer aspire one d150 and internal mic is not working. I read here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne that it should work out of the box.
[17:17] <llutz> webmin sucks
[17:18] <ckill> I have webmin but i kinda breaks more than it fixes for me :?
[17:18] <oldude67> webmin is no longer supported in ubuntu
[17:18] <Myrtti> !webmin
[17:18] <ckill> It is debian with no GUI right now.
[17:19] <ckill> What about this guide?  http://flurdy.com/docs/postfix/
[17:19] <mementomori> anyone?
[17:19] <chris99> sry didn't know that I have centos for server
[17:19] <simran> is grawty a bot?
[17:19] <kevdog> I used to like webmin -- too bad its broken
[17:19] <llutz> ckill:  servers won't need a GUI, just an editor
[17:19] <mementomori> !aspireone
[17:20] <mementomori> !aspire
[17:20] <simran> !asus
[17:20] <ckill> Right I use jed...I am getting along OK its just a lot to learn....fast
[17:20] <Terces> Does anyone here have advice on how to deal with adding or updating packages to Ubuntu systems which are no longer supported (like 7.04)?    (the repositories no longer work)
[17:20] <IdleOne> Terces: update
[17:20] <IdleOne> err upgrade
[17:21] <Terces> IdleOne: We have dozens of systems out there, and their all ssh-only access
[17:21] <Terces> IdleOne: so it's dangerous.
[17:21] <oldude67> eurythmia, please quit
[17:21] <chris99> llutz: besides gui's are good when you don't want to stand around all day telling window admin's how to do something
[17:21] <TriMe|> anyone here use a good program for video editing on ubuntu?
[17:21] <moustafaza> I keep on editing the time, but it keeps on changing back. Any ideas?
[17:22] <Explodus_> moustafaza, do you have the right time zone?
[17:22] <moustafaza> Yes.
[17:22] <moustafaza> Explodus_, Yes
[17:23] <moustafaza> Explodus_, The time has changed in Egypt it's not 6:23 because of fasting, while in the Ubuntu clock it says it's 7:23 which is the old timing.
[17:24] <Explodus_> moustafaza, i know for US you can choose -6GMT or -5/-6GMT for DST not sure about Egypt time though
[17:24] <Explodus_> moustafaza, may want to check if its a DST issue if its only off by 1 hr
[17:24] <jeeves_Moss> are there any clients that will listen on the local subnet and show all of the computers that are activly broadcasting?  I know I can do it with nmap, but that takes forever
[17:25] <moustafaza> Explodus_, I'll check it out thanks.
[17:25] <TriMe|> I tell ya what i am having nothing but problems with Flash, and using Youtube videos if i select HQ or HD it just locks up. but in Vista it loads straight away...
[17:25] <TriMe|> whats going on linux.
[17:25] <sekaab> i got a problem with my mount system ... yesterday i had a read error as i played a dvd ... after that i ejected (manually) cleaned dvd and reinsertet but it didnt even recognized the eject provess ... an now i cant mount anything ... computer is not rebooted til now
[17:25] <Terces> moustafaza: The hour changes for Ramadan? Why?
[17:25] <cornjuliox> how do I see what application is using my audio device for playback?
[17:25] <cornjuliox> i'm not getting any sound at all out of this thing
[17:25] <jeeves_Moss> TriMe|, there's LOTS of howtos on google to repair the youtube problem
[17:25] <kesou> i use a python lib to upload files on web server but on ubuntu 9.04 64B it's very very slow does anybody have a solution please?
[17:26] <TriMe|> jeevee_Moss thanks man
[17:26] <TriMe|> will check it out
[17:26] <moustafaza> Terces, So that we eat earlier.  Instead of asking what's wrong with linux, try explaining what software you are using, and what you are trying to do. Asking for help, rather than complaining, will get you more help in these circles.
[17:26] <jeeves_Moss> TriMe|, not trying to be a d**k, but it's too hard to explain, it's just easier to get the howto.  it's a problem with flash.  I found it was just easier to install directly from www.flash.com
[17:28] <TriMe|> eurythmia: I wasnt complaining.... i was just saying its starting to get on my nerves... and i have uninstalled it and tried to install manually and it didnt work. and i havent bothered with it lately has i have been busy working but now i am back on the net using it more often now i am wondering why there isn't an update for this fix yet thats all, or is there another solution to getting this problem resolved.
[17:29] <eurythmia> TriMe|, what, exactly, is the problem? Is the video *lagging* every 10 seconds or so? Are you using firefox?
[17:29] <TriMe|> jeeves_Moss: thats cool man i wasn't having ago at anyone. i just qurious to know if anyone else having the same problem
[17:29] <Athen> I seem to be having issues with evolution's calendar segfaulting when I try to set event occurences
[17:30] <miguelonnnn> vale ya esta claro
[17:30] <jeeves_Moss> TriMe|, yep.  make sure you strip EVERYTHING that has to do with flash out of your system first.  otherwise, it's a pain to clean up the broken packages
[17:30] <miguelonnnn> ha tocao buscar en ingles pero ya esta, fdisk no hace formateos
[17:30] <miguelonnnn> solo particiona
[17:30] <TriMe|> I am using 9.04 .28 Kernal, Firefox. ADSL2+ Max download of around 1.5Mb a second. and fair decent computer.. so its nothing to do with my Hardware or Internet connection. it has to be Drivers of Either Firefox or Flash.
[17:30] <guntbert> !es | miguelonnnn

[17:32] <eurythmia> TriMe|, you should read this article, it may fix your issues: http://lifehacker.com/5342636/how-to-fix-annoying-youtube-jumpiness-in-firefox
[17:32] <TriMe|> jeeves_Moss: Ok man I'll see how i go i'll play around with it... is there any type of command you know of in terminal i can type to just remove all Flash?
[17:32] <TriMe|> eurythmia: Thanks Mate will do
[17:32] <GPL> i tried Cheese, aMSN, etc. etc. my webcam = Microsoft Lifecam VX-1000
[17:32] <eurythmia> TriMe|, not a problem. Hope it helps.
[17:33] <maddi1> Hi, everybody, i'm facing the following problem: I cannot enter my ubuntu system, cause of GRUB Error 17, says, he cannot find menue.lst, which is no wonder, as the boot folder for some reason is empty. I made a rescue Cd and tried to install the base system again, but for some reason (inapropriate ioctl) it wouldn't do it, anybody?
[17:33] <cornjuliox> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio <--is the stuff on this page already done for you when using 8.04?
[17:33] <jeeves_Moss> TriMe|, try "sudo apt-get remove --purge flash* --dry-run"  (of course without the ""s)

[17:34] <commander_> ?
[17:34] <simran> Is it normal for mplayer not to be able to play .flv files downloaded from youtube??
[17:35] <eurythmia> jeeves_Moss, the jaunty repos have the *newest* adobe flash installer ... clearing out and reinstalling flash probably won't help at all. Firefox still has some bugs that make flash playback a little jumpy though, like auto-saving tabs every 10 seconds (which takes up far too many resources)
[17:35] <xangua> simran: yes, use a gstreamer player or vlc
[17:35] <Bloe> hi
[17:36] <Bloe> k heb een vraagje ,,
[17:36] <maddi1> Hi, everybody, i'm facing the following problem: I cannot enter my ubuntu system, cause of GRUB Error 17, says, he cannot find menue.lst, which is no wonder, as the boot folder for some reason is empty. I made a rescue Cd and tried to install the base system again, but for some reason (inapropriate ioctl) it wouldn't do it, anybody? I'm using 8.04 Hardy, the GRUB however, was installed by SUSE 10.something
[17:36] <jeeves_Moss> eurythmia, good point.  I just noticed a noticable preformance inprovment when I installed from source and not the repo
[17:36] <simran> xangua: wont gstreamer codecs conflict with my w32codecs package/mplayer
[17:36] <Bloe> om meer ruimte te krijgen op de partitie waar ubuntu op staat hoe moet je dit doen
[17:36] <jeeves_Moss> eurythmia, I need to squeeze ALL the preformance I can out of this little netbook
[17:37] <xangua> simran: i've never used w32 codecs
[17:37] <eurythmia> jeeves_Moss, should be important to note that "installing from source" isn't ... they're still binaries ... although, the fact that adobe now provides their binaries in *.deb format *is* nice :)
[17:37] <simran> ill use vlc then
[17:37] <simran> :)
[17:37] <simran> thanks
[17:37] <jeeves_Moss> eurythmia, this is true.  you'll have to excuse me.  I'm working on less than 4 hours of sleep in 48
[17:38] <elux> is there a simpler app like sysv-rc-conf that doesnt require perl?
[17:38] <eurythmia> jeeves_Moss, eeew :P
[17:38] <balachmar> Where should I be for ubuntu netbook remix questions?
[17:38] <eurythmia> elux, heh ... pretty much everything these days requires perl.
[17:38] <elux> gotcha
[17:38] <elux> so be it then
[17:39] <remoteCTRL3> when a man page says "SEE ALSO pam(3), PAM(8), pam_start(3) how do i invoke that?
[17:39] <eurythmia> elux, it's okay though ... perl is *extremely* handy to have on hand ... did you know that there's a "rename" *program* that uses perl regexes to batch rename files?
[17:39] <jeeves_Moss> eurythmia, I've been trying to get international shipping for some IBM X-Series servers figured out and delivered before we move the office @ the end of the month.  I don't think the UPS guy is going to like me
[17:40] <elux> eurythmia: cool. im more of a ruby guy is all :)
[17:40] <maddi1> Hi, everybody, i'm facing the following problem: I cannot enter my ubuntu system, cause of GRUB Error 17, says, he cannot find menue.lst, which is no wonder, as the boot folder for some reason is empty.

I'm using 8.04 Hardy, the GRUB however, was installed by SUSE 10.something
[17:40] <eurythmia> elux, ruby has its uses, but for any form of string manipulation or data parsing, perl is simply phenomenal. Wouldn't want to write a large application in perl though ;)
[17:40] <elux> eurythmia: ruby has the same regex as perl
[17:41] <elux> but no biggie. i've installed it. thanks :)

[17:50] <eurythmia> jeeves_Moss, there is ... not sure how under gnome though. I knoew that ksysguard has a tree view of running processes.

[17:59] <MrHeavy> Unmount it and run it on the device instead
[18:00] <Mgamerz> I know how to unmount it, but once it's unmounted I'm not sure what to do... I'm not a normal Ubuntu user

[18:25] <unop> remoteCTRL, hmm, i'm not sure - there's a gnome app (forgot what it's called - something like 'typing break') that might have some logging facility to see when you are most active, you could use that to determine the periods when you aren't.
[18:26] <unop> remoteCTRL, can i ask why you need this?
[18:26] <remoteCTRL> unop: that comes quite close but isn't enuff i am afraid as a tend to read a lot in my linux books...*g*
[18:26] <hlfshell> arik - type this into a terminal : sudo xrandr -q. use a paste bin to gimme the output
[18:27] <elux> how do i turn on vim syntax highlighting? syntax on tells me i dont have the option, but ive installed the vim-runtime package..?
[18:27] <hlfshell> no . on the -q
[18:27] <remoteCTRL> unop: so that would completely falsify the result...
[18:27] <westherm> hlfshell: I just upgraded to jaunty, and would like to run dual monitors, After the first install, I did, in fact, run dual monitors, but after the first reboot, I would select my OS in grub, and then a black screen with some colored lines at the top, and no splash screen or progress on the boot
[18:27] <hlfshell> westherm - I'm sorry but I never had that problem... I don't know where to start. :-/
[18:27] <westherm> hlfshell: thanks anyway
[18:27] <pepperphd> elux: :syntax enable  ---- does that work?
[18:27] <unop> elux, try the vim-full package
[18:27] <hlfshell> westherm: good luck.
[18:28] <unop> remoteCTRL, hmm, not sure I know of anything to help you there then
[18:28] <elux> thx

[18:28] <remoteCTRL> unop: k, thanks for the attempt tho:) gonna write a thread in gnome forum i guess...:)
[18:29] <Um_cara_qualquer> is there some way to install Windows through ubuntu?
[18:29] <hlfshell> arik -  try the solution found in this forum post. http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1041964.html
[18:29] <hlfshell> arik - worked for my old laptop when that happened to me.
[18:29] <arik> okay will try thanks!!
[18:29] <hlfshell> Um_cara_qualquer -  you mean like a virtual machine? or on a seperate partition?
[18:30] <unop> remoteCTRL, something else that might help is the gnome-power-manager's - power trend graphs. you could find a correlation between power usage and actual usage, not very reliable and also might not work on desktop machines.
[18:30] <Um_cara_qualquer> another HD
[18:30] <hlfshell> Um_cara_qualquer not sure, sorry.
[18:30] <Um_cara_qualquer> hmm
[18:30] <westherm> Is there anyway to save a previous config so that if changes don't allow me to boot I can revert?
[18:30] <Um_cara_qualquer> np
[18:30] <Um_cara_qualquer> anyone else?
[18:31] <iznogood> installing buntu to md raid (/boot on a usb stick) do I need the alternate install cd or is it possible with the live cd?
[18:32] <James147> westherm: what graphics card do you have?
[18:32] <westherm> something shitty and integrated, its a laptop
[18:32] <westherm> james147: one sec
[18:32] <James147> westherm: basically is it  nvida?
[18:32] <westherm> ati
[18:33] <remoteCTRL> unop: also a good idea but also to vague i am afraid...
[18:33] <apparle> westherm: which ATI card
[18:33] <arand> Would anyone like to confirm/refute this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/418135 (who does not mind copying whole of /home/user)
[18:33] <remoteCTRL> unop: never mind i will work my way through this in some forums...:)
[18:33] <westherm> jame147: lspci tells me its a radeon x1200
[18:33] <guntbert> Um_cara_qualquer: why do want to do that?
[18:34] <ruben23> hi whats the problem when i ssh and i get connection refused....?
[18:34] <Um_cara_qualquer> to be with two OS
[18:34] <guntbert> ruben23: the ssh is probably not running
[18:34] <apparle> westherm: well then you can't use the officially(fglrx) drivers from ATI
[18:35] <westherm> james147: I remember in gutsy I had to enable proprietary drivers, but not in jauntty apparently
[18:35] <guntbert> !dualboot | Um_cara_qualquer, please see
[18:35] <unop> remoteCTRL, another idea - gnome-screensaver has a --debug flag, so you could use it to collect debugging info and then use something like perl/awk to parse the data into some useful information.
[18:35] <Um_cara_qualquer> plus some games doesn't work on ubuntu
[18:36] <Um_cara_qualquer> hmm
[18:36] <James147> westherm: sorry, but dont know much about ati graphics, from what apparle said you cant use the proprity drivers though :(
[18:36] <westherm> apparle: what do I do about that?
[18:36] <graingert> !question | Tashy
[18:37] <apparle> westherm: that's the problem...........you have to use the opensource drivers and obviously they are not so good yet...........maybe they will be one day..........
[18:37] <James147> westherm: but my guess would be that dual screen support on the open source ones sucks (it dose for nvida at least)
[18:37] <cytherea> my dual screen works perfect with nvidia
[18:37] <apparle> westherm: and by default you are using the opensource drivers
[18:37] <westherm> yeah...
[18:37] <James147> apparle: probally only when nvida or ati start realsing the spces for their cards, which i dont ever see hapening?
[18:37] <guntbert> westherm: on my x1300 the opensource drivers work fine
[18:38] <James147> guntbert: for dual screen display?
[18:38] <apparle> James147: But I think they realease the Specs for the cards when they are declared legacy
[18:38] <mhall119|work> James147: AMD/ATI have released a large number of specs
[18:38] <westherm> apparle: its too bad it works right away when you config it
[18:38] <graingert> James147: ati already open sourced their drivers
[18:38] <James147> apparle: which means never for the newer better cards
[18:39] <mhall119|work> graingert: they didn't open source the code, they just released specs
[18:39] <mhall119|work> unless they've done something I haven't heard about
[18:39] <guntbert> James147: I'm using a beamer now and then, that works fine - I don't know about side by side though
[18:39] <graingert> mhall119|work: oh, that is the crazy-ness
[18:40] <Um_cara_qualquer> guntbert, thx a lot man
[18:40] <apparle> James147: yes.............but mine is quite old so I am waiting :)
[18:40] <graingert> aparantlar nvidia want to OS their drivers but can't becuase they outsourced some codings
[18:40] <guntbert> Um_cara_qualquer: yw :-)
[18:40] <graingert> (ala java - who finally descrogged their code)
[18:40] <Um_cara_qualquer> i think i will disconnect the other HD... so it won't be any mistake
[18:40] <graingert> (like ages agoo) - am I right peepz?
[18:41] <James147> graingert: relly hope they do at some point :) not like they are makeing any money from the drivers :S
[18:41] <graingert> James147: true
[18:41] <mhall119|work> graingert: that still shouldn't stop them from releasing specs
[18:41] <apparle> I agree............rather they will sell more if the drivers are better supported
[18:42] <graingert> mhall119|work: perhaps they don't want people to copy the boards - but it will take a f off massive companny to have the oomf to actually build the cards from the specs
[18:42] <James147> opensourceing free software, can see more down sides then upsides to it :S
[18:43] <Guest1283> I have a camera plugged in, trying to delete files, it keeps saying that it is "read only." I try to change the permissions but it just says the same thing.
[18:43] <graingert> James147: don't say that here... :/
[18:43] <graingert> Guest1283: problem with fuse or something
[18:43] <miguelonnnn> i, i'm back. Well i still have questions
 Guest1283: problem with fuse or something
[18:43] <James147> <-- SHOOT3R<EMAIL_ADDRESS>has quit (Client Quit)
[18:44] <James147> : ment carnt ^^
[18:44] <miguelonnnn> first, must the mbr to be into the fat32?
[18:44] <Guest1283> Anyone know how to fix this?
[18:44] <miguelonnnn> i mean, the partition table  & grub
[18:44] <mhall119|work> James147: biggest upside is that nVidia wouldn't have to keep up with Linux Kernel development
[18:44] <miguelonnnn> James147!! i were in linuxpendrives hehe but it didin't help much :S
[18:45] <Berzerker> Guest1283, card is read only?
[18:45] <mhall119|work> things like Kernel Mode Switching would be added to their drivers for them
[18:45] <Berzerker> check the little switch on it
[18:46] <James147> mhall119|work: ment i cant see why it would be a bad idea... came out wroing :)
[18:46] <Guest1283> got it
[18:46] <Guest1283> Stupid lock was on the card. Hah, thanks.
[18:46] <Transxendental> hi all. i wanna install a linux but i cant decide which to choose . people suggested me ubuntu and fedora but i wanna have a multimedia editor . so there is a linux named Musix . what can u suggest?
[18:46] <James147> miguelonnnn: what are you trying to do exactly?
[18:46] <carrie_555> Can someone help me with DynDNS? I have a domain from dyndns. The problem is that I always have to login to the dyndns in order to refresh the ip. I believe that I should install something in my ubuntu to "tell" dyndns which is my current ip.. Does anyone know what should I do? If i have to install a program, which one should I install and how to configure it?
[18:46] <mhall119|work> James147: a lot of the time these companies work around defects in their hardware using driver code
[18:46] <mhall119|work> or implement new features purely in software
[18:46] <grawity> carrie_555: Search Synaptic for DynDNS updater.
[18:47] <carrie_555> ok
[18:47] <miguelonnnn> James147, i'm trying to make an xubuntu usb installer
[18:47] <Guest1283> Transxendental, if you want multimedia editing I would try Ubuntu Studio http://ubuntustudio.org/
[18:47] <guntbert> Transxendental: please ask in #ubuntu-offtopic - this chanell here is strictly for support
[18:47] <mhall119|work> open sourcing their driver means giving all that advantage to their competitors
[18:47] <guntbert> *channel, even
[18:47] <westherm> do you think if i installed the linux drivers from the ati website I might have a better result?
[18:47] <guntbert> !ot | mhall119|work
[18:47] <mhall119|work> westherm: if the driver supports your card
[18:47] <miguelonnnn> but i want to learn how to do it by myself (without next, next, next, finish programs help)
[18:47] <race321> francais
[18:47] <mhall119|work> guntbert: sorry
[18:48] <Pav> irc channel for netbook remix -- does it exist?
[18:48] <race321> qui parles francais
[18:48] <James147> miguelonnnn: as i said before the simplest way is to use usb-creator, but if you want to do it manually troll ofver pendrivelinux for a few days untill you can get it to work
[18:48] <race321> bonsoir
[18:48] <guntbert> !fr | race321
[18:48] <bjorkintosh> !fr
[18:48] <race321> thx

[18:48] <Alvinware> !my
[18:48] <Guest49658> can someone help me please?
[18:49] <Ben64> !ask
[18:49] <guntbert> !askthebot | Alvinware
[18:49] <westherm> mhall|119work: its in the list
[18:49] <miguelonnnn> i searched all the web, but there's no specific explanations there. All i found are step by step howtos
[18:49] <Alvinware> !ru
[18:49] <James147> miguelonnnn: pendrive linux is the best source for what you want, but i never really got much to work on there and it took hours of trying
[18:49] <Guest49658> K i just installed Ubuntu and the questio is how big must be the "Filesystem" drive?
[18:50] <mhall119|work> westherm: is the version different than what is in Ubuntu's repositories?
[18:50] <westherm> But to reitterate, is there anyway I can set up something analagous to a "system restore point" from windows?
[18:50] <miguelonnnn> anyway, it isn't actually about what i want, but how i want
[18:50] <James147> miguelonnnn: but i got the jist of, copy the contents of an .ios to the drive, edit somefiles to do with the boot loader and install a boot loader
[18:50] <mhall119|work> Guest49658: 6 GB is, I think, the recommended minimum size
[18:50] <guntbert> miguelonnnn: did you ask in #xubuntu ?
[18:50] <Guest49658> well i have it 40GB... i hope it was wise? if i want to install losts of programs and games and stuff?
[18:51] <westherm> No idea
[18:51] <carrie_555> grawity, I remember, now, that I have alreayd installed "ddclient" (i believe this is what u mean). But I have no idea How to use it. I just ran it, and I have an error, http://pastebin.ca/1541780 Do you know anything about this ?
[18:51] <mhall119|work> Guest49658: 40GB should last you for a while
[18:51] <westherm> lavagolemking: nice to see a fellow buckeye
[18:51] <Ben64> Guest49658: yeah, no problem having bigger
[18:51] <Guest49658> k another question, ive downloaded ATI drivers but when im trying to run them it askes me to use a Gold User or something like that
[18:51] <miguelonnnn> i mean it doesn't matter if i'm going to put an xubuntu installer, or my last party pics, all i want to know is how can i make an fdisk partition starting at and specific block & ending at another one
[18:52] <miguelonnnn> sry guntbert , but this isn't about xubuntu
[18:52] <James147> miguelonnnn: if you want a detailed explnation you have to research how the linux system works, and the boot process
[18:52] <mhall119|work> Guest49658: are there instructions on ATI's site for installing those drivers?
[18:52] <Guest49658> idk... hold on ill check
[18:52] <guntbert> miguelonnnn: sorry, then - I obviously misread
[18:52] <mhall119|work> usually using the Ubuntu provided drivers is best
[18:53] <Guest49658> well where can i find ubuntu provided files for my ATI card?
[18:53] <mhall119|work> Guest49658: System->Administration->Hardware Drivers
[18:53] <miguelonnnn> i read the manpages for fdisk and mkfs, but that's little help, i couldn't find a "-P flag for saying start partition at Head 1 cylinder 2 sector 1 , and finish at H2C3S2, that's what i would like
[18:53] <James147> miguelonnnn: when partition with fdisk, when you create a partition you select the first and last block you want to use...
[18:53] <miguelonnnn> how?
[18:54] <carrie_555> Got it !
[18:54] <carrie_555> working !
[18:54] <carrie_555> My configuration file had some mistakes
[18:54] <miguelonnnn> great carrie! gratz
[18:54] <James147> miguelonnnn: sudo fdisk   will take you to the fdisk prompt, type p to list  partitons, m for help
[18:54] <James147> miguelonnnn: sudo fdisk /dev/sdXX sorry
[18:54] <miguelonnnn> ok i'll go there thanks again james, brb
[18:55] <James147> miguelonnnn: where /dev/sdXX is the partiton you want, make sure you get the right one or you WILL lose data
[18:55] <carrie_555> 1 question: I belive that ddclient should be ran every time my computer startsm right? How do I do that ?
[18:55] <ubuntu> hi all
[18:56] <Lavagolemking1> Any time I try to install software from the repository I get the message that the software can't be verified.
[18:56] <miguelonnnn> ok James147 , thanks again i'll keep you informed bout my progress :)
[18:56] <James147> Lavagolemking1: sounds like a gpg key issure, did you add any extra repos?
[18:57] <Lavagolemking1> None.
[18:57] <Lavagolemking1> It
[18:57] <Guest49658> Can someone give me a link to a guide for ATI drivers installation?
[18:57] <Guest49658> please
[18:57] <James147> Lavagolemking1: pastbin the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list

[18:59] <MK13> mhall119|work,  that is what i was thinking, thnx
[18:59] <Karmic> westherm: you can do a sh filename.run after you set that file executable either with sudo chmod u+x filename or with GUI but it's a .run driver you need to kill X and run sh it
[18:59] <Lavagolemking1> James147: http://pastebin.ca/1541794
[18:59] <raylu> Karmic: you don't need to set it +x if you're using sh

[19:03] <James147> miguelonnnn: thorught it did
[19:03] <carrie_555> ubottu, I have one question: I realized that to run ddclient i need to "sudo", and therefore insert the sudo passwd. How do I do that writing the command ?
[19:03] <mhall119|work> find /etc/init.d/
[19:03] <mhall119|work> find /etc/init.d
[19:03] <A[D]minS> not there
[19:03] <mhall119|work> ld /etc/init.d
[19:03] <b_> how can I get youtube to work with my Ubuntu 8.04?
[19:03] <mhall119|work> woops
[19:03] <A[D]minS> this is why i want to force it
[19:03] <mhall119|work> sorry
[19:04] <A[D]minS> sorry what?
[19:04] <ndan2> really need wireless to work.  runnin low on time to fix this... when i get out of town it will be a week
[19:04] <makasu26> how do you i add my users to sudoers files so that i can make one into admin?
[19:04] <mhall119|work> A[D]minS: forcing it may make it continue with the removal, even if it encounters errors
[19:04] <Lavagolemking1> It seems in the past couple minutes it stopped.
[19:04] <erUSUL> makasu26: add the user to the admin group
[19:04] <raylu> A[D]minS, mhall119|work: given that it's the first file in the list, i bet the installation went screwy but the package made it's way into your db.
[19:04] <mhall119|work> makasu26: adding the user to the "admin" group will give them sudo access
[19:05] <A[D]minS> raylu ok so ?what shall i do
[19:05] <James147> Lavagolemking1: fixed its self? nice when that happens
[19:05] <A[D]minS> any idea?
[19:05] <Karmic> makasu26: using visudo command as root ( su - )
[19:05] <neurochrome> so _no-one_ here is running ubuntu-one syncronisation package?!
[19:05] <raylu> carrie_555: you could mess with your sudoers, but at this point i think you should reconsider your solution
[19:05] <mhall119|work> neurochrome: I am
[19:05] <A[D]minS> sudo dpkg --configure postfix  didn't help
[19:05] <graingert> neurochrome: it;s a bit rubbish
[19:05] <Lavagolemking1> It did this all last night, and again just a few minutes ago, but it asked "Install these packages without verification" listing all the programs for apt/synaptic and their dependencies.
[19:05] <raylu> A[D]minS: try reinstalling postfix
[19:05] <neurochrome> mhall119|work, does your package update
[19:05] <mhall119|work> neurochrome: nope
[19:06] <neurochrome> graingert, it's still beta
[19:06] <makasu26> i sorry i tried to use sudo and su but all i get is  user is not in suders file
[19:06] <westherm> alas, my kernel, she is too new and my card, too old
[19:06] <A[D]minS> raylu: same error
[19:06] <mhall119|work> I installed it when they first made it available
[19:06] <neurochrome> mhall119|work, yeah, a bit weird huh?!
[19:06] <neurochrome> mhall119|work, same here
[19:06] <cherva> what was the command to frize a package so it doesn't get updated ?
[19:06] <raylu> Lavagolemking1, James147: is there any message at the end of "sudo apt-get update"?
[19:06] <mhall119|work> neurochrome: I just assumed they changed something while in development, and I"d have to remove and int reinstall
[19:06] <graingert> neurochrome: doesn't make it not crap
[19:06] <Karmic> makasu26: Have you tried su - ?
[19:07] <genii> cherva: There is no command for that. You have to pin the package in /etc/apt/prefereces file
[19:07] <neurochrome> graingert, what do you want? a cherry on top?  it sync files. period
[19:07] <Lavagolemking1> No (and there wasn't). However, from a different location it timed out on fetching one of the files.
[19:07] <carrie_555> raylu, there is no way to write a command like this: sudo program -pass=open_the_door        ?
[19:07] <genii> !pinning | cherva
[19:07] <mhall119|work> makasu26: you have to add your user account to the admin group
[19:07] <raylu> A[D]minS: dpkg -s postfix
[19:07] <neurochrome> mhall119|work, well apt realises there is an update available but holds back as if it were pinned or something?
[19:07] <Lavagolemking1> I ran it again today, and it completed, but I was still getting the error.
[19:07] <makasu26> yes i have tried su.it ask for  sudo password i put it in.then it wil say user is not in the sudoers file.
[19:08] <raylu> carrie_555: yes, but it's a very very bad idea, obviously. if you want to do that, i'd suggest editing /etc/sudoers instead
[19:08] <mhall119|work> neurochrome: could be a new dependency
[19:08] <cherva> genii:  thanks
[19:08] <Karmic> makasu26: not su try su -
[19:08] <mhall119|work> neurochrome: are you on 9.04?
[19:08] <genii> cherva: Welcome
[19:08] <neurochrome> mhall119|work, yes
[19:08] <A[D]minS> raylu: -s for info ?
[19:08] <makasu26> okay i will try
[19:08] <raylu> A[D]minS: status, yes
[19:08] <mhall119|work> neurochrome: I'm assuming they're now depending on some stuff from 9.10
[19:08] <A[D]minS> raylu: so what do u want from -s ?
[19:08] <mhall119|work> so it can't resolve dependencies for the new package, thus it won't upgrade
[19:08] <fahadsadah> grawity: Ping?
[19:08] <raylu> Karmic: why are we using su?
[19:08] <carrie_555> raylu, ok, I'll try to figure what are those 'sudoers'
[19:08] <raylu> A[D]minS: everything?
[19:08] <neurochrome> mhall119|work, maybe... though you'd expect it to be backported to jaunty for all the beta testers to use
[19:08] <makasu26> it ask for a passowrd that i dont know
[19:09] <grawity> fahadsadah: ?
[19:09] <mhall119|work> neurochrome: it's being included in Karmic as a default install, so probably all their efforts are there
[19:09] <A[D]minS> raylu: http://paste.ubuntu.com/258819/
[19:09] <mhall119|work> makasu26: are you the owner of that box?
[19:09] <James147> Lavagolemking1: what error message are you getting when you run what program?
[19:09] <neurochrome> mhall119|work, I know... still there's a whole load of beta testers on jaunty
[19:09] <Karmic> makasu26: sudo passwd and set your root password if you are the only current user
[19:09] <mhall119|work> neurochrome: true, have you asked the developers about it?
[19:09] <Lavagolemking1> Running programs, none. The error only occured with apt/synaptic.
[19:10] <neurochrome> mhall119|work, nope
[19:10] <mhall119|work> neurochrome: #ubuntuone
 Running programs, none. The error only occured with apt/synaptic.
[19:10] <James147> <-- rocky_<EMAIL_ADDRESS>has quit (Client Quit)
[19:10] <raylu> A[D]minS: what happened when you tried to configure it?
[19:10] <neurochrome> mhall119|work, just wanted to make sure it wasn't just me!
[19:10] <makasu26> yes i just bought it 2 days ago but i wanted to chnage user anme adn pass.i made new admin user but then all sudden  root is disable and i cant unlock anything
[19:10] <mhall119|work> neurochrome: not just you
[19:10] <A[D]minS> raylu laptop restarted because it was out of charge!
[19:10] <James147> Lavagolemking1: can you pastebin the output form sudo aptitude update?
[19:10] <mhall119|work> makasu26: root should never have a password

[19:10] <neurochrome> !ubuntu-one
[19:10] <Guest49658> hey guys let me get this straight, in Ubuntu the main way to install programs is by downloading them from the "add\Remove" window again and again every time i reinstall windows or something?
[19:10] <raylu> !prefix | Lavagolemking1
[19:11] <mhall119|work> Guest49658: what?
[19:11] <makasu26> I sorry to ask what should i do after the su -?
[19:11] <ejv> Guest49658: or using the command line tool(s): apt-get / aptitude
[19:11] <mhall119|work> Guest49658: you should only have to download and install an application once
[19:11] <Karmic> makasu26: what outpude gives the following commands : 1) groups 2) users ?
[19:11] <Guest49658> as far as i undarstand, the main way to install software in ubuntu is by usong the Add/Remove application
[19:11] <jMyles> How can I replicate, using the CLI, the exact functionality that occurs when I mount a drive by clicking it in places-=>computer ?
[19:11] <Guest49658> eight?
[19:11] <raylu> A[D]minS: er... that's when you tried to configure it? or just now?
[19:11] <Guest49658> right*
[19:11]  * ejv rubs mhall119|work
[19:11] <ejv> :D
[19:11] <mhall119|work> Guest49658: yes
[19:11] <mhall119|work> hi ejv
[19:11] <ejv> oh hi!
[19:11] <ejv> :p
[19:12] <raylu> James147, Lavagolemking1: for key issues, i suggest apt-get
[19:12] <PariBac> hi can anyone help me? i want to install blowfish on x-chat to encrypt my channel? how can i install it?
[19:12] <makasu26> When i bought it i delete some user that i thought was useless.I made mistake click on admin account it said u cant it make system unuseable.
[19:12] <A[D]minS> raylu: u said "<raylu> A[D]minS: what happened when you tried to configure it?" and i answered this question ..
[19:12] <Guest49658> but what if i want to install some application that is not on the list?
[19:12] <Lavagolemking1> To me, it looked like I was either missing a public key, or something worse.
[19:12] <makasu26> when try unlock the user and group i get could not authenictae
[19:12] <raylu> A[D]minS: ok... then try configuring it again
[19:13] <mhall119|work> makasu26: hmmmm, you may need to use a LiveCD to fix it then
[19:13] <A[D]minS> i said i want to force removing it
[19:13] <ejv> PariBac: download xfish.so, place it in /home/<username>/.xchat2; in xchat, load the binary
[19:13] <Lavagolemking1> James147: http://pastebin.ca/1541807
[19:13] <legend2440> Guest49658: there are only a limited amount of packages listed in Add/Remove. Synaptic will list all avsailable packages
[19:13] <makasu26> would it be a big problem to reinstall ubuntu on a usb?
[19:13] <mhall119|work> Guest49658: many 3rd parties provide applications as installable .DEB packages, or offer their own repositories that make their applications available to isntall from Add/Remove
[19:13] <PariBac> thx
[19:13] <ndan2> man i hate i rarely come in here to get help -- only when i have an issue i've worked on for hours n its rare i get a response at times.
[19:13] <imachine> hey anyone tried playing starcraft on ubuntu?
[19:13] <ndan2> imachine, yes i have
[19:13] <imachine> I have issues running it full screen
[19:13] <imachine> ndan2, can you run it fullscreen?
[19:14] <JohannesSM64> why do i have to grant myself permission to run shell scripts i make?
[19:14] <ndan2> imachine, no problems if u run it in a window with your resolution
[19:14] <imachine> I get the bottom half the screen cut off
[19:14] <JohannesSM64> does it enhance security or something?
[19:14] <Guest49658> ah so if lets say... i want a video editing software, i must go to synapics and search for video editing software?
[19:14] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[19:14] <imachine> ndan2, yes but I want fullscreen, and I have a laptop 16:10
[19:14] <mhall119|work> JohannesSM64: chmod o+x $filename
[19:14] <raylu> JohannesSM64: so that you don't accidentally execute a text file
[19:14] <imachine> 1280x800
[19:14] <ejv> PariBac: Window > Plugins and Scripts > Load... > <navigate to .xchat2 and select plugin>
[19:14] <imachine> ndan2, it automatically goes fullscreen anyway
[19:14] <ndan2> imachine, choose run in window and choose resolution that is a little less then full screen
[19:14] <Karmic> makasu26: you don't have to reinstall, your problem has a solution, PM me and I will guide you
[19:14] <mhall119|work> Guest49658: yup, unless you know the name of the one you want
[19:14] <raylu> JohannesSM64: you can always just use sh filename.sh
[19:14] <ActionParsnip> is it possible to only have a single toolbar in gnome?? rather than one at the top and one at the bottom?
[19:14] <legend2440> Guest49658: yes
[19:14] <ndan2> imachine, not if u go to winecfg n choose load in a window
[19:14] <imachine> ndan2, hmm yes but that still doesn't seem like a good idea, overall...
[19:14] <ejv> PariBac: also, when addressing me, use "ejv:" before your comments, so I can see it, good luck
[19:15] <raylu> ActionParsnip: yes... right-click
[19:15] <imachine> ndan2, more like a hackish hack ;p
[19:15] <mhall119|work> ActionParsnip: sure, the gnome panels are hugely customizable
[19:15] <DigitalDarkness> Question, if someone has time: I was putting a older GTK1 rc file in my theme for Gnome I am working on as a complimentary theme for that last apt or two that still using it (e.i. XMMS). But it doesnt seem to be showing up. Even on older themes I did 4 years ago? Any ideas why on Ubu 904?
[19:15] <imachine> ndan2, I met some ubuntu forum thread saying about enabling a separate X server
[19:15] <ndan2> imachine, with wine sometimes to get stuff to work thats the only option.  its been over a year however
[19:15] <imachine> and running it on taht separate X
[19:15] <mhall119|work> you can have 1, 2, 3, 4, whatever
[19:15] <imachine> and setting it's max res to 640x480
[19:15] <ndan2> sudo lshw
[19:15] <imachine> and then X works great ;]
[19:16] <raylu> makasu26: for your own security, it's recommended you receive support in this channel and not in PMs
[19:16] <Guest49658> legend2440: i am currently downloading Wine, its a large file, if tommorow i will reinstall Ubuntu, where can i find this file on my HD to reinstall it?
[19:16] <Guest49658> or at least how can i back it up so that i wont have to redownload it
[19:16] <raylu> Guest49658: it will be cached, so you can even kill the download and resume it later. the answer to your question is /var/apt/cache, i think
[19:17] <ejv> PariBac: if you're using a 64bit install, you might have to compile your own, which isn't necessarily easy
[19:17] <myeyespy> How can one enter the "options" terminal meny through a command at the terminal?
[19:17] <Guest49658> what? what is /var/apt/cache?
[19:17] <mhall119|work> Guest49658: if you reinstall Ubuntu, you'll have to have separate partitions to not lose your data
[19:17] <Guest49658> i know
[19:17] <Guest49658> how can i back up Wine on a saparate partition?
[19:17] <raylu> Guest49658: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/linuxfiles.html
[19:18] <raylu> A[D]minS: but you may have to finish configuring it first
[19:18] <mhall119|work> Guest49658: you can point APT to use a folder on that partition for cache
[19:18] <myeyespy> nm got it
[19:18] <ndan2> sudo iwlist eth1 scan  --- eth1 no scan results  wtf why is it there i can put it into monitor mode etc... but it doesn't work!
[19:18] <ActionParsnip> raylu: got it, thought i'd give gnome a whirl see if its any better
[19:18] <Guest49658> plus /var/apt/cach doest work, it says "no such file or directory"
[19:18] <mhall119|work> Guest49658: or just use Keryx to download the package and all dependencies
[19:18] <ActionParsnip> Guest49658: check spelling, cache has an e on the end
[19:18] <fahadsadah> Guest49658: It's /var/apt/cache
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> Guest49658: use tab and you wont have that problem
[19:19] <A[D]minS> raylu: it give same error
[19:19] <Guest49658> i copy paste it
[19:19] <Guest49658> same error
[19:19] <raylu> Guest49658: i'm not sure about that path, but it's somewhere around there
[19:19] <raylu> A[D]minS: eh? what command did you run, and what error?
[19:19] <Guest49658> andrew@andrew-desktop:~$ /var/apt/cache
[19:19] <mhall119|work> Guest49658: it's /var/cache/apt, not /var/apt/cache
[19:19] <Guest49658> same error
[19:19] <lordnikon> how do i transfer my contact list from aol to evolution??
[19:20] <fahadsadah> lordnikon: You can't. AOL are bastards.
[19:20] <legend2440> Guest49658: its actually    /var/cache/apt/archives
[19:20] <mhall119|work> lordnikon: can you export it from AOL as LDIF?
[19:20] <jMyles> What command is run when one clicks on an unmounted drive in the "places" menu in order to mount it?
[19:20] <A[D]minS> raylu: sudo dpkg-reconfigure postfix
[19:20] <fahadsadah> mhall119|work: AOL don't allow _any_ exporting.
[19:20] <fahadsadah> jMyles: mount
[19:20] <lordnikon> dont know how
[19:20] <A[D]minS> /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: postfix is broken or not fully installed
[19:20] <mhall119|work> jMyles: it runs several things to set it up the way it does
[19:20] <fahadsadah> See man mount
[19:20] <Berzerker> raylu, hi lol
[19:20] <raylu> Berzerker: hi
[19:20] <jMyles> mhall119|work:  I'm trying to replicate the exact functionality via SSH.  Do you know which commands I need to run?
[19:21] <fahadsadah> !pm | lordnikon
[19:21] <fahadsadah> lordnikon: In answer to your PM, yes, you have to do it the hard way.
[19:21] <dragon`> hey guys, how can i mount an internal hdd when im connecting using ubuntu livecd?
[19:21] <mhall119|work> jMyles: you'll have to read up on the "mount" command
[19:21] <jMyles> mhall119|work:  Alternatively, and I'm surprised to have been unable to find this via searching, how can I have those drives automatically mount as if I had clicked them?
[19:21] <lordnikon> ok thnx
[19:22] <fahadsadah> dragon`: Use mount.
[19:22] <fahadsadah> jMyles: Add them to /etc/fstab
[19:22] <mhall119|work> dragon`: mount it while the LiveCD is booting?
[19:22] <ndan2> dragon`, it should be something like mount /dev/sda(1) /mnt/xxxx
[19:22] <ActionParsnip> dragon`: provided the partitons are visible ni the output of: sudo fdisk -l   yes
[19:22] <jMyles> mhall119|work:  Well, I understand the mount command, and I can mount the drives no problem.  What I can't do is make them mount the way they do when I click them.
[19:22] <b_> I cannot get youtube to work in 8.04, any suggestions?
[19:22] <Guest49658> is there a guide for the top most usefull terminal commands? or a guide to the terminal/
[19:22] <mhall119|work> jMyles: I think you'll need a udev rule to do that
[19:22] <fahadsadah> jMyles: /etc/fstab
[19:22] <ActionParsnip> b_: install flash and enable java script
[19:23] <fahadsadah> !fstab | jMyles
[19:23] <b_> how do I enable java script
[19:23] <fahadsadah> b_: Where?
[19:23] <mhall119|work> b_: from Add/Remove programs, install Adobe Flash Player
[19:23] <fahadsadah> In Firefox, it's on by default.
[19:23] <exutable> Is anybody interested in collaborating on writing a driver for a fingerprint scanne? It is probably going to be written in C and is going to be approximately 300-1000 lines of code.  I can offer help via providing sniff logs, monetary donations and some programming help

[19:26] <makasu26> How do i add my user to sudoers files?
[19:26] <mhall119|work> don't use "/list", "/msg alis list" instead
[19:26] <fahadsadah> #ubuntu is the largest channel in freenode.
[19:26] <mhall119|work> makasu26: you need administrator access to do that
[19:26] <fahadsadah> makasu26: adduser youruser admin
[19:27] <mhall119|work> and you deleted your administrator account
[19:27] <Canageek> I'm having some trouble: I've got a new ubuntu box and I can't get any webbrowsers to work
[19:27] <makasu26> ues i delte admin account so i cant even add user
[19:27] <Canageek> I can get a ping and pidgin connects fine
[19:27] <mhall119|work> makasu26: you'll need to use a LiveCD
[19:27] <fahadsadah> No
[19:27] <fahadsadah> makasu26: Reboot into recovery mode, selecting the option "drop to root shell"
[19:27] <mhall119|work> boot from the LiveCD, and modify /etc/groups, add you new user name to the line for "admin"
[19:28] <fahadsadah> From there, type adduser yourusername admin, which will make that user an admin.
[19:28] <Canageek> I tried using w3m but it just sits at the 'opening socket' stage forever
[19:28] <mhall119|work> makasu26: fahadsadah's suggestion is better
[19:28] <fahadsadah> mhall119|work: Overcomplication. Recovery mode can drop the user to a root shell.
[19:28] <fahadsadah> Canageek: Firefox.
[19:28] <fahadsadah> The best browser.
[19:28] <makasu26> i get a  fsck need to be check and request from me a root password
[19:28] <Canageek> Firefox just sits and sits once I type a URL in fahadsadah
[19:28] <mhall119|work> Canageek: do you need to configure it to go through a proxy?
[19:29] <fahadsadah> Hmm.
[19:29] <Canageek> fahadsadah: Its my main browser, I was hoping using a textmode broswer would tell me more and it did
[19:29] <makasu26> cant get to the screen to  start root sheel
[19:29] <Canageek> mhall119|work: Nope
[19:29] <raylu> Canageek: try installing strace and running 'strace firefox'
[19:29] <mhall119|work> Canageek: does wget work?

[19:30] <mhall119|work> raylu: but that doesn't tell me anything about http traffic
