[15:37] <Zane2> Help!
[15:37] <jrib> fission6: rhythmbox used to work with DAAP
[15:37] <ActionParsnip> wiiguy: its a slimmer DE and uses less RAM just to exist
[15:37] <guwe> im on ubuntu 9.04, i can't open file explorer after some php files removed accidently
[15:37] <erUSUL> fission6: never tried but i think both Rythmbox and banshee have daap support
[15:38] <fission6> hmmm
[15:38] <fission6> ill try rythmbox first thanks
[15:38] <Zane2> free peanuts if someone can give me some assistance.
[15:38] <erUSUL> guwe: if you run "nautilus" from a terminal do you see any error msg ?
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> !ask | Zane2
[15:38] <jrib> Zane2: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line)
[15:38] <Zel> after i updated ubuntu, grub screwed my boot and now i cant run windows anymore
[15:38] <guwe> erUSUL, hold on let me check
[15:39] <Zane2> my question has already been rendered up there!
[15:39] <Hans_Henrik> ahox: run fsck how?
[15:39] <Zane2> :/
[15:39] <guwe> erUSUL, its not installed, so should i install it now?
[15:39] <jrib> !helpme | Zane2
[15:39] <erUSUL> guwe: !??? no wait. what version of ubuntu you are using ?
[15:39] <polipie> Can someone give me a telephone number of Canonical?
[15:39] <guwe> 9.04
[15:39] <erUSUL> guwe: kubuntu? xubuntu ?
[15:39] <guwe> oh
[15:39] <guwe> sabily
[15:39] <guwe> sabily.org
[15:40] <om26er> !enter | guwe
[15:40] <erUSUL> polipie: contact info should be on the canonical web site
[15:40] <ActionParsnip> Zane2: logging on as root is heavily discouraged and autologging on as root is massively foolhardy
[15:40] <polipie> erUSUL: i already filled in the form 2 times now, with 7 days in between and they havent contacted me yet
[15:40] <rblst> Zane2: you cannot login because there is no password set for root
[15:40] <aseko> hi
[15:40] <Zane2> ActionParsnip yes ok thanks for the info
[15:40] <janhaj> I have USB tv tuner Gigabyte U8000.. In Ubuntu 9.10 i can't play anything.. :/ here's dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/320872/ . Can anybody help me? In Ubuntu 9.04 works fine.. please..
[15:40] <ActionParsnip> Zane2: log on as your user and use sudo and gksudo
[15:40] <Zane2> there is a password set
[15:41] <ActionParsnip> Zane2: makes you system quite secure
[15:41] <om26er> janhaj: updated from jaunty?
[15:41] <guwe> erUSUL, sabily.org
[15:41] <secher> I just upgraded to 9.10 (well, a couple of days ago), and I've been defaulted to 800X600 resolution in X.  I just realized that my xorg.conf file is completely empty, so xorg is running from the xorg.conf.failsafe file.  So... how do I recreate the xorg.conf file?
[15:41] <janhaj> om26er: no.. clean install
[15:41] <om26er> janhaj: ok
[15:41] <Zane2> my system is only used for xbmc
[15:41] <mikejet> Zane2 : my guess is autologin into root is not supported.
[15:41] <ActionParsnip> secher: what video card?
[15:41] <erUSUL> guwe: is a derivatibe of ubuntu... maybe it uses xfce or kde instead of gnome
[15:41] <Zane2> ok thx
[15:42] <rblst> Zane2: then you probably have to enable root login at autologin options, but i wouldn't do it
[15:42] <ActionParsnip> secher: sudo lshw -C display    will tell you
[15:42] <erUSUL> guwe: i would do « sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop »
[15:42] <guwe> its gnome i guess
[15:42] <guwe> erUSUL, ok thanks let me try
[15:42] <Zane2> rblst its already setup that way
[15:42] <ActionParsnip> secher: we only need the product line

[15:43] <erUSUL> guwe: or bettter yet ask in #sabily they would be more capable of helping you
[15:43] <erUSUL> guwe: http://www.sabily.org/website/index.php/en/community/support
[15:43] <erUSUL> guwe: maybe there is a sabily-desktop metapackage or something
[15:43] <trex22> hello
[15:44] <ActionParsnip> Zane2: you can edit the lines at the bottom of /etc/gdm/custom.conf   but I really really wouldnt do what you are proposing
[15:44] <trex22> i need help
[15:44] <ActionParsnip> Zane2: backup the file before editting
[15:44] <trex22> how to install ubuntu 9.10 from the CD to a 2GB flash disk? the size is not enough
[15:44] <ActionParsnip> Zane2: what you are proposing is crippling your security
[15:44] <trex22> i want the installation to be compressed
[15:44] <Kingcrusha> Do WiFi cards work better with vmware ubuntu
[15:45] <ActionParsnip> trex22: use the minimal ISO or Ulite
[15:45] <aseko> trex: u want to install from usb dev or to usb dev?
[15:45] <trex22> ulite
[15:45] <x_> i cant run youtube files even though i downloaded the resrticed pack
[15:45] <trex22> aseko: from the CD to USB
[15:45] <MoeGreen> hi everyone..I just upgraded to 9.10 and now all the videos i watch in VLC are the wrong colors (mostly green)--is there something i can do?
[15:45] <trex22> but the USB flash disk is only 2GB
[15:45] <Elixir_> hi .. I upgrade my system to 8.10 but voice  stop working and display this msg ((audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback.))
[15:45] <ActionParsnip> trex22: you can install from a 2Gb stick, the ISO is only 700Mb so is plenty
[15:45] <trex22> i want to install  ubuntu on the flash disk
[15:45] <aseko> i would use debootstrap if available
[15:45] <trex22> on the flash disk
[15:45] <x_> actionparsnip can u give me the flash solution for 64 os
[15:46] <trex22> not from the flash disk
[15:46] <X3> is there a proper repository that will not fail on install for the 2.6.32.x kernel since the 2.6.31 is buggy
[15:46] <x_> actionparsnip please :D
[15:46] <ActionParsnip> trex22: gotcha, yeah use something like Ulite / minimal ISO and you can install just what you want rather than the bloat which comes with a stock install of ubuntu
[15:46] <fakeer> I am behind a router. How to access shared folders(mostly Windows) in my ISP's (a DSL) LAN ? How to configure my router? I am on Ubuntu 9.10 (dual booting with Vista). Detail: http://pastebin.com/f35bf3d73
[15:46] <secher> ActionParsnip: 82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics Controller, to be precise...
[15:47] <trex22> action but is there any other way?
[15:47] <erUSUL> X3: the 32 kernel has not been released yet by Linus Torvalds so i do not think there is a repositorie with it aviable ...
[15:47] <ActionParsnip> x_: sure
[15:47] <ss_> how can i zip/unzip 7z files with default archive manager in Ubuntu 9.10?
[15:47] <X3> erUSUL: there are ppa's but they fail
[15:47] <erUSUL> ss_: install p7zip
[15:47] <trex22> i guess ulite then
[15:48] <erUSUL> !find 7zip
[15:48] <X3> erUSUL: was the pzip for me?
[15:48] <erUSUL> X3: they have the rc version
[15:48] <erUSUL> X3: no; for ss_
[15:49] <freaky[t]> hi all. how do i manually start beagle? because it doesnt start
[15:49] <X3> erUSUL: theres this http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.32-rc7/ as well as the various ppas but like I said the ppa's fail
[15:49] <ss_> thanks erUSUL its done
[15:49] <X3> I rather have a ppa so that updates dont break
[15:49] <erUSUL> X3:  error message ?
[15:50] <secher> ActionParsnip: *sigh* did my own research on that.. Bug #466057
[15:50] <secher> ActionParsnip: Not good.. I'm trying to get my upper management to let me bring out a couple test systems to replace XP and avoid going to Win7, and this happens.. Fsck.
[15:50] <X3> jsut says install linux-image whatever- or similar which is what I had selected and failed
[15:51] <fission6> i can see other people sharing itunes but i can not get track listings using rhythmbox, something about itunes 7 issues
[15:51] <fission6> how cna i get around this
[15:51] <X3> there is no specific error
[15:51] <ActionParsnip> x_: http://pastie.org/702675
[15:51] <secher> Is there a way I can roll back to 8.10 from 9.10?
[15:51] <trex22> ActionParsnip:  which is better supported? 32bit or 64bit?
[15:51] <X3> secher no
[15:51] <trex22> i have 8GB of RAM
[15:51] <om26er> 32bit
[15:51] <ActionParsnip> trex22: oth are equally supported
[15:51] <om26er> actually both
[15:51] <ActionParsnip> trex22: you will need 64bit or use the server kernel to get PAE
[15:52] <trex22> about the driver
[15:52] <Irakirashia> jrib Nothing happened, going to reinstall entire OOo & ure
[15:52] <trex22> 32bit work on 64bit also?
[15:52] <X3> trex yea
[15:52] <trex22> better than windows
[15:52] <trex22> thanks
[15:52] <ActionParsnip> secher: you cannot downgrade from release to old release, you will have to reinstall to get Intrepid
[15:52] <dassouki> is there a way to organize playlists by artists in rhythm box ?
[15:53] <fission6> can i install itunes with wine, or is there another way i can connect to other peoples i tunes
[15:53] <ActionParsnip> trex22: you can use ia32-libs to run 32bit packages but you will need to satisfy 32bit deps too
[15:53] <X3> so no one knows of a ppa for a .32 kernel that will not fail on upgrade from .31 or a tip to make it install
[15:53] <ActionParsnip> fission6: no, it doesnt run in wine
[15:54] <fission6> damn! so there is no way to connect to peoples machine
[15:54] <fission6> to share music over daap
[15:54] <X3> its just to fix a coretemp issue and a smbus conflict that is not there
[15:54] <trex22> you guys are the kings of confusing
[15:54] <janhaj> I have USB tv tuner Gigabyte U8000.. In Ubuntu 9.10 (no update, clean install) i can't play anything.. :/ here's dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/320872/ . Can anybody help me? In Ubuntu 9.04 works fine.. please..
[15:54] <ActionParsnip> fission6: some people run a whole virtualbox just for their precious itunes. Bit of a bloat and will cost for the license but should work
[15:55] <fission6> damn so there is no way huh
[15:55] <fission6> wow
[15:55] <erUSUL> fission6: make them use an older version of itunes ?? seems like version 7 of itunes breaks banshee too https://bugs.launchpad.net/banshee/+bug/62842
[15:55] <fission6> eh i cant twist arms like that
[15:55] <fission6> this stinks!
[15:55] <ActionParsnip> fission6: its a proprietary piece of apple garbage, i kinda expected it
[15:55] <gbs-wes> virtualbox is free...
[15:56] <gbs-wes> even the closed source version
[15:56] <ActionParsnip> gbs-wes: windows licenses arent
[15:56] <X3> janhaj: the karmic kernel is well bummed imo so get back to jaunty
[15:56] <dassouki> virtualbox is awesome
[15:56]  * dassouki loves vbox
[15:56] <gbs-wes> lol @ ever giving more money to M$
[15:56] <ActionParsnip> fission6: amarok may support it, have a websearch round, maybe a native app will do it
[15:56] <trex22> ubuntu 9.10 is magic
[15:56] <trex22> too good to be true
[15:56] <gbs-wes> lol @trex22
[15:56] <trex22> i'm sick of windows 7
[15:56] <fission6> do you think i have any chance installing itunes under wine and just being able to using the daap / streaming functionality
[15:57] <ActionParsnip> gbs-wes: any microsoft hardware ;)
[15:57] <X3> erUSUL: any tips on how to get the .32 kernel upgrade without failing?
[15:57] <mvalviar> hi I wanted to see what kubuntu is like. and install kubuntu-desktop. Now my gnome desktop is showing the fancy kde cursor how do I prevent this?
[15:57] <X3> trex22: 9.10 is magic if you dont know anything about linux
[15:57] <erUSUL> X3: if its silently failing i can not even make a guess at what the problem is.
[15:58] <gbs-wes> holy crap, this broken note mix is the proverbial sh$%
[15:58] <trex22> x3 i've used it too many times before it was much easier to learn than windows
[15:58] <TheFuzz4> any hybrid irc people in here that could lend a hand?
[15:58] <sipior> fission6: this may be useful to you: http://www.linux.com/archive/articles/53199
[15:58] <trex22> the only thing keeping me with MS is gaming
[15:58] <X3> trex22: Try custom set ups then come back and tell me how magic it is
[15:58] <erUSUL> fission6: the fact is the its apple's fault it blocks all other clients and have used this tactics in all its products
[15:58] <Bleupomme> hello, I just updated from jaunty to karmic and switched to ext4 and grub gives me an ugly error 13 with the latest kernel now
[15:58] <erUSUL> fission6: for years
[15:58] <janhaj> X3: Is changing kernel safety?
[15:59] <trex22> x3 ubuntu is user friendly.. i don't want to drive my self crazy
[15:59] <Hajex> please tell me how to retrieve 8.04 . I upgraded my system to 8.10 but many problems occur
[15:59] <ActionParsnip> fission6: if you check the appdb, you will see other users experiences
[15:59] <Halitech> Hajex, reinstall
[15:59] <brianherman> hajex: do you mean downgrade?
[15:59] <Whitor> TheFuzz4, what the heck is a hybrid irc person ?
[15:59] <mbeierl> trex22: not to start any flame wars, but it must be said the MS produced an excellent gaming OS.  That was part of its problem though: giving direct access to the hardware in order to speed up games :)
[16:00] <X3> trex22: like I said if you just install it form disk is fine as long as you dont need something like I do and dont work cause its buggy have to patch it manually
[16:00] <brianherman> hajex:http://releases.ubuntu.com/hardy/
[16:00] <X3> trex22: I dont do desktop installs
[16:00] <gbs-wes> it took me nearly 6 years before one of my linux installs finally "stuck"... i tried it probably annually for years until fedora core 5... then switched to ubuntu.. been using it exclusively since. i almost like it even more than OS X at this point. in some cases, definitely more.
[16:00] <erUSUL> Whitor: hybrid irc is a irc server daemon
[16:00] <fission6> hmmm nothing is looking to promosing here
[16:00] <X3> trex22: its all command line custom installs from minimal.iso
[16:00] <fission6> gonna try aramrock
[16:01] <Whitor> erUSUL, ok,thx
[16:01] <trex22> x3 someday .. maybe soon ubuntu will replace windows as a desktop OS
[16:01] <ax> I just installed karmic koala.. I have an older laptop and not a great video card. all of the status windows [wireless connected, etc] that pop up are completely distorted and just show up as a black blob of "noise" basically..
[16:01] <trex22> i used pupplylinux many times because it's small and you can remaster the DVDRW once you make changes to it
[16:01] <X3> trex22: lol u clueless
[16:01] <trex22> and it runs from the system memory
[16:01] <trex22> i wish they made the same to ubuntu
[16:01] <X3> it can
[16:02] <ax> any idea how i can get them to be useful?
[16:02] <trex22> how?
[16:02] <kyle6513> trex22, i never liked puppy linux for the sheer fact that the puplets are hell to get working :P
[16:02] <IdleOne> !remaster | trex22

[16:02] <trex22> puppylinux it's easy
[16:02] <Halitech> ax, what video card do you have? what laptop?
[16:02] <trex22> but ubuntu support wider selection of hardware
[16:02] <trex22> easier
[16:02] <ax> gbs-wes: nope

[16:03] <ss_> I have installed Star Dictionary for linux on Ubuntu 9.10, i want to find its folder (equivalent to C:\Program Files\StartDictionary\ in Windows) so i can copy a custom dictionary list in it. Any ideas?
[16:03] <Halitech> ax, what version of Ubuntu did you install?
[16:03] <brianherman> hajex: http://releases.ubuntu.com/hardy/ Download the image and reinstall
[16:04] <ax> Halitech: 9.10
[16:04] <llutz> trex22: pls take that to #clueless-fanboys , it's OT here
[16:04] <Irakirashia> jrib Ok, reinstalled OOo and the first package on hang out is emailmerge, then binfilter, and ure was installed successfully
[16:04] <trex22> llutz:  i'm not clueless thank you
[16:04] <Halitech> ax, drop it and install 8.04 which supports the video card better
[16:04] <trex22> i asked how to install ubuntu on 2GB of flash disk
[16:04] <Hajex> brianherman : ok thanks
[16:04] <trex22> not asking you anything els
[16:04] <ax> Halitech: ahh.. okay, bummer
[16:04] <X3> janhaj: changing the kernel is fine as long as u know what ur doing
[16:05] <Halitech> ax, xorg made changes and ati dropped support and the open source drivers aren't there yet so 8.04 is a better option
[16:05] <kyle6513> trex22, unless you intend to run ubuntu in ram i can see that flash drive failing soon.
[16:05] <ax> Halitech: cool, thanks!
[16:05] <erUSUL> !usb | trex22
[16:05] <X3> erUSUL: thx Ill do a full reeinstal and modify the minimal intall.iso to include the .32 kernel

[16:06] <ax> btw, I usually run another wm [dwm]. I'm wondering, what is the network dock app called, the one that lets you select wireless connections and stuff?

[16:06] <erUSUL> ax: nm-applet
[16:06] <ax> erUSUL: thanks
[16:06] <X3> erUSUL: Easier then going around patching masses of modules that are included and badly done on the release kernel
[16:07] <erUSUL> X3: good luck then,
[16:07] <ActionParsnip> trex22: i prefer puppy, but thats me

[16:10] <WAtt||> hi all, i try to find a method to use cryptfs (ecryptfs) and active directory authentification. Could you help me ? (ubuntu 9.10)
[16:10] <kyle6513> blueskaj, well, for starters grub2 is meant to find all operating systems you have installed previously and add them to the bootup list as per usual right? well I can see it has added my installation of "vector linux" to the grub.cfg file but, it never shows up in the bootup list?
[16:10] <Hajex> brianherman : can u give me any way to solve upgrading problem ( audio , graphic adapter  , bluetooth ) other than downgrading?
[16:10] <fission6> oh than thats not good
[16:10] <ActionParsnip> fission6: you'll have to find out what itunes can / can't do. (mt bet is not much)
[16:10] <Anorien> hello, can someone help me with this error, please? http://paste.ubuntu.com/320897/plain/
[16:10] <brianherman> hajex: upgrading to the latest version?
[16:10] <brianherman> hajex: or just downgrade those specific packages
[16:11] <BluesKaj> kyle6513, how many kernels and partitions do you have listed ...you may just have to scroll down the menu to find the hidden ones if you have more than 6 or 7
[16:11] <Hajex> brainherman : I try to upgrade to 9.04 but give me msg that my video adapter is not supported
[16:11] <brianherman> hajex: 9.10?
[16:12] <Hajex> brainherman : also not supported
[16:12] <kyle6513> blueskaj, i have 4 (which are displayed) which are the default ones that come with an ubuntu installation where there should be 5. and im sure that its not that simple as there is clearly enough white(black)space to accomodate atleast 6 more entries
[16:12] <Fenix|work> Greetings and salutations.
[16:13] <brianherman> hajex: Set your sources.list to this: http://tuxicity.wordpress.com/sourceslist-for-ubuntu-hardy-heron-810/
[16:13] <Fenix|work> Would it be considered a bug that rsyslog wants to log to /dev/xconsole in ubuntu-server when there is no X to use xconsole?
[16:13] <Hajex> brainherman : ok
[16:13] <brianherman> hajex: then run: apt-get upgrade
[16:13] <brianherman> hajex: that should download the old package list
[16:13] <Sorell> hello Fenix|work
[16:13] <ActionParsnip> Fenix|work: i'd say so
[16:13] <secher> ActionParsnip: Ok, so it was my monitor.. the thing does not supporet EDID, apparently.  Is there a way to tell xorg to use a partcular refresh and resolution and override the failsafe defaults?
[16:14] <brianherman> hajex: and download the old packages from the server
[16:14] <Hajex> brainherman : I will try and tell u .. thanks so much
[16:14] <ActionParsnip> secher: i can give you my xorg.conf if you like. I use 1024x768 on an nvidia chip

[16:14] <eagles0513875> !info znc | Deathvalley122
[16:15] <secher> Anyone, actually.  Is there a way to override the xorg failsafe defaults and force xorg to use a particular resolution and refresh rate?
[16:15] <eagles0513875> ok that didnt help lol
[16:15] <BluesKaj> kyle6513, i have to ask the obvious question , after editing grub.cfg did you sudo update-grub ?
[16:15] <ActionParsnip> secher: http://pastebin.com/f54ad402d    you can change te driver line and such as you wish
[16:15] <Greg^> hi
[16:15] <ActionParsnip> secher: mines the same so I HAVE to use xorg.conf, luckily I'm smart enough to backup such files or I'd be screwed in karmic
[16:16] <kyle6513> blueskaj, i didnt edit grub.cfg i edited the 40_custom file in /etc/grub.d/
[16:16] <ActionParsnip> secher: you can omit the mouse / keyboard bit too as hal picks those up now
[16:16] <kyle6513> blueskaj, then i used sudo update-grub
[16:17] <Kottizen> Okey. When I installed Ubuntu I got GRUB. In grub there was one "Ubuntu", one "Ubuntu something else", one "Memtest" and one "Windows Vista (loader)". On my computer I have two disks. One with Windows Vista, and the other one with Windows 7 and Ubuntu on two diffrent partitions. The thing is, when I upgraded Ubuntu from the Upgrade program it did something with grub so now I got "Windows Vista" and it points to the Vista. Then I got "Windows 7", but when I se
[16:17] <kyle6513> i first tried it with it auto-detecting the installation(which it did) but it still doesnt show up, nor with me editing the 40_custom file.
[16:18] <ActionParsnip> Kottizen: the other something is/was recvery mode
[16:18] <Kottizen> ActionParsnip: Maybe it is.
[16:18] <Hamstah> Hey people! Just wondering, what app tells you which packages you need installed when trying to run an application that is not installed.
[16:19] <jrib> Hamstah: you shouldn't need to know that.  APT will install required dependencies automatically
[16:19] <diffra> I'm having a bit of trouble with sed... I've got some .rdp files i'm trying to change the resolution on, and the following isn't matching: 's/1280/1024/g'
[16:19] <jrib> !software > Hamstah
[16:19] <ActionParsnip> Hamstah: you'll find its: command-not-found   more tan likely
[16:19] <jrib> diffra: then "1280" is not in your file
[16:20] <diffra> jrib, but it is.  Do you think it's a character set thing?
[16:20] <jrib> diffra: I don't know what a .rdp file is, maybe
[16:20] <Hamstah> @Action: Thanks, that's prolly it.
[16:20] <jrib> diffra: what are you running exactly?
[16:20] <diffra> The files were created by windows XP's remote desktop application
[16:20] <Hamstah> Yep, apt-cache agrees.
[16:20] <Kottizen> Did someone seen my question and got a solution?
[16:21] <ActionParsnip> Kottizen: i saw the description. I didnt see a question
[16:21] <diffra> i can pastebin an example file if it'll help
[16:21] <ActionParsnip> Kottizen: have you lost the entries for ubuntu in grub2?
[16:21] <diffra> short plaintext file.
[16:21] <Kottizen> Okey. When I installed Ubuntu I got GRUB. In grub there was one "Ubuntu", one "Ubuntu something else", one "Memtest" and one "Windows Vista (loader)". On my computer I have two disks. One with Windows Vista, and the other one with Windows 7 and Ubuntu on two diffrent partitions. The thing is, when I upgraded Ubuntu from the Upgrade program it did something with grub so now I got "Windows Vista" and it points to the Vista. Then I got "Windows 7", but when I se
[16:21] <Kottizen> The question is in the end.
[16:21] <jrib> Kottizen: you get cut off at "but when I se"
[16:22] <jrib> diffra: sure, and the command you run
[16:22] <Kottizen> jrib: ?
[16:22] <ActionParsnip> Kottizen: theres no question there the last bit reads as jrib says, pasting the same thing again achieves nothing
[16:22] <ActionParsnip> Kottizen: i would have read it wouldnt I as you pasted the same thing
[16:22] <Kottizen> "How do I solve this?" = question
[16:22] <jrib> Kottizen: there's a limit on how long your entry can be
[16:22] <Kottizen> oh
[16:22] <Kottizen> http://pastebin.com/md8543d
[16:22] <ActionParsnip> Kottizen: hence me asking, and hence why pasting the same thing is pointless
[16:22] <sipior> Kottizen: fewer extraneous words would be helpful :-)
[16:23] <rofl> hi. how to use gcc on ubuntu ? i tried to do apt-get install build-essentials

[16:23] <jrib> rofl: no 's' at the end
[16:23] <LjL> rofl: it's build-essential
[16:23] <ActionParsnip> Kottizen: better, have you tried booting to liveCD to reconfigure grub2?
[16:23] <Kottizen> Nope.
[16:23] <Greg^> :)
[16:23] <Kottizen> My Ubuntu works, can I do it from there?
[16:24] <ActionParsnip> Kottizen: i'd head there first, you can chroot to the installed system to see whats shakin
[16:24] <Kottizen> And what should I type in the console to reconfigure?

I also get this when logged in as the user who has sound, but music starts right after it. It's like it tries to get to the sound system but hen somehow gets kicked back off.

[16:54] <vocx> SiVA_, what do you want to accomplish by doing "modprobe xfs"?
[16:55] <starhash> klong: In nautilus (the File Manager), choose File: Connect to Server. It works pretty good, and it mounts the remote filesystem so all your apps can edit remote files, too. (You don't have to copy files over to work with them.)
[16:55] <starhash> Also, vlc will play remote movie files mapped this way.
[16:55] <SiVA_> vocx: I want to create an xfs file system on a device
[16:55] <klong> cool. thanks guys.

[16:56] <dustin>  but that is a good overview.
[16:56] <starhash> Greg^: want to share why?
[16:56] <starhash> diffra: No prob.
[16:56] <SiVA_> hrm... mkfs.xfs /dev/sdh seemed to work just fine.. I'm following a tutorial, and the first step before this was "modprobe xfs"
[16:56] <diffra> dustin: pastebin your /boot/grub/menu.lst
[16:57] <dustin> Well I have grub2, so there is no menu.lst ill pastebin my grub.cfg if you want
[16:57] <grendal-prime> but now that goofy little update warning always says i have updates.  and when try to install them it never installs
[16:57] <Greg^> g2g bb gl
[16:57] <vocx> SiVA_, you have no desktop environment? Otherwise, I would suggest you to just use "gparted".
[16:57] <PenquinCoder_> Hello everyone, I am in need of help trying to get Atheros Wireless AR928X working. I running Ubuntu 9.10 x64, I have tried using Wicd, compat-wireless, and current NDISWRAPPER and now I recieve the error ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready, in DMESG. I really need wireless to work, an yone have suggestions to fix this??
[16:57] <SiVA_> vocx: no, just a console... it's a server
[16:57] <diffra> Yep, that'd work.
[16:57] <Fretegi_1> anyone ever set up a linux router out of an old pc?
[16:57] <cdavis> Fretegi_1: yes
[16:58] <diffra> Fretegi_1, indeed.
[16:58] <grendal-prime> Fretegi_1: ya server
[16:58] <grendal-prime> several
[16:58] <SiVA_> maybe xfs is no longer a kernal module in 9.10 but part of the kernal?
[16:58] <dustin> My grub.cfg http://pastebin.com/m6b1c69a1
[16:58] <grendal-prime> iptables
[16:58] <starhash> diffra: AFAIK menu.lst isn't being used anymore, It's grub/grub.cfg
[16:58] <Fretegi_1> any performance advantage over just a plain jane retain router performance wise?
[16:58] <grendal-prime> you have to enable ip forwarding.  also if you have never used iptables i would suggest you mange it with something like webmin..
[16:59] <cRUDE> lsusb
[16:59] <diffra> starhash, you're correct.  I've been using 8.04 up until this week, wasn't aware we'd changed GRUBs
[16:59] <darkmattr> PenquinCoder_, i'm using the same wireless card with 32-bit ubuntu on a 64-bit processor with no trouble
[16:59]  * dustin thinks he could fix this grub problem on my own with grub1
[16:59] <darkmattr> PenquinCoder_, worked right after install
[16:59] <grendal-prime> Fretegi_1: well throughput is throuput...the advantages are more in monitoring, traffic shapping, firewalling.
[16:59] <vocx> SiVA_, you should probably note the date of the tutorial.It may be updated. Anyway, I don't think you would ever need to "modprobe" anything when you are just trying to create a filesystem.
[16:59] <Fretegi_1> obviously much better control, better firewall etc.  ive set up iptables before and ubuntu server, just never as a router or home server
[17:00] <haoyihuan> Are all here in China?
[17:00] <grendal-prime> routing several differnt networks.. aliased nicks multiple hpysical nics ...all that sort of stuff
[17:00] <cRUDE> PenquinCoder: try reinstalling network-manager
[17:00] <haoyihuan> vocx?
[17:00] <starhash> dustbin: startupmanager has been really useful for me. YMMV. That's the package name.
[17:00] <vocx> SiVA_, I believe a good interface from the terminal is "cfdisk". You can use that instead of creating the partition with mkfs.xfs
[17:00] <vocx> !cz
[17:00] <vocx> !cn
[17:01] <Fretegi_1> right, i have been reading that WAN to LAN throughput on a pc turned into a router with linux with hot NIC's will have far better throughput than a retail router would, any truth?
[17:01] <diffra> dustin: try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reverting%20to%20GRUB%20Legacy
[17:02] <diffra> (if that's really what you want to do)
[17:02] <dustin> I would, but I really want to get through this problem on grub 2. I mean, if I run away from grub 2 all the time, I will have to continue doing that
[17:02] <starhash> dustin: Oops, I've been calling you dustbin. Anyway, Startup Manager (in Administration) updates grub.cfg right when you run the program. (There's no separate option for updating.) You can choose the default operating system, though.
[17:02] <TheCheeze> help? i get this error with today's update http://pastebin.com/dec72f75
[17:02] <dustin> The problem is that it detects windows 7 loader on /dev/sdb1 but that is where grub is
[17:03] <starhash> dustin: Hmm
[17:03] <dustin> Windows 7 is sitting on /dev/sdb2
[17:03] <dustin> but Windows 7 loads weird
[17:03] <starhash> dustin: When you say "it" what do you mean by "it"
[17:03] <dustin> grub
[17:03] <dustin> grub detects
[17:04] <NoraZoe> omg! i need some help i just go ubuntu can anyone help me
[17:04] <vocx> By the way. I was using ext3 and grub1 in 9.04. After upgrading to 9.10 I feel the boot up process is significantly slower.  I've tried everything... amsn, pidgin, empathy, emesene... NOTHING works
[17:05] <diffra> TheCheeze, that's odd for sure.  is it repeatable?
[17:05] <starhash> dustin: did you manually add the entries? I think Windoze wants to believe it's the first device. There's a grub option for fooling it. I ran startup manager, and it automatically added all entries. And my Windows XP ran fine, even though its the second drive.
[17:05] <chai_> i did scan an army us ports and they sayme hunted!!!! :(
[17:05] <dmc123> For DAYS now
[17:05] <TheCheeze> diffra, am trying, but now the update manager is hung
[17:05] <dustin> i got to get going, if anyone has any suggestions please PM me
[17:05] <TheCheeze> will attempt an xkill
[17:05] <dmc123> Is this a stupid joke by linux kiddies? Forcing people to not use MSN?
[17:05] <dustin> what is the command starhash for grub2?
[17:05] <dustin> PM me please
[17:05] <dustin> tyall
[17:05] <diffra> dmc123, i'm using msn with empathy right now.
[17:05] <diffra> on 9.10
[17:05] <chai_> i got grub 1.97beta, why????????'
[17:05] <NoraZoe> well i downloaded it all the graphics worked and stuff now when i go to appearences it says none under visual effects and i try to click normal and it says it unable to do that
[17:06] <IdleOne> dmc123: ask msn why they don't want to release a linux version of theyre IM client
[17:06] <divider> NoraZoe: thats obviously a graphics card issue, what kind of GPU are you using?
[17:06] <IdleOne> dmc123: you can also try amsn
[17:06] <starhash> vocx: I have a clean install, very, very fast to boot (on a 4 year old computer 2.6 Ghz Pentium D). Just a data point.
[17:06] <TheCheeze> diffra, it appears my update manager is shot now...
[17:06] <fixxxermet> I want to have my ubuntu desktop clients authenticate against my windows domain controller for user accounts.  Could someone point me to a current (ubuntu 9.10) howto / guide for doing this?
[17:06] <diffra> try command line sudo apt-get update ?
[17:06] <akyapt> can any1 tell me how to restore back the settings ??????
[17:06] <vocx> starhash, but did you partition with ext4, and grub2?
[17:07] <NoraZoe> what is GPU? and it was working when i downloaded it then a few hours later it stopped working i dont understand
[17:07] <starhash> dustin: I'd say don't bother with those arcane commands. Just run startupmanager (after you backup your grub.cfg file in boot/grub/)
[17:07] <divider> NoraZoe: Graphics Proccessing unit. your video card.
[17:07] <TheCheeze> all logging appears to be shot. terminal wont run and my pidgin window says unable to log
[17:07] <haoyihuan> chinese
[17:07] <cRUDE> akyapt: waht settings?
[17:07] <starhash> vocx: No, ext3. ext4 writes metadata before writing the data.
[17:07] <TheCheeze> be back in a few flashes...
[17:07] <akyapt> crude:apperance
[17:07] <diffra> fixxxermet, there's one for 9.04 here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1253252

[17:07] <haoyihuan> is there anybody chinese?
[17:08] <NoraZoe> lemme check and c real quick what it is
[17:08] <diffra> TheCheeze, are you talking to us from that machine?

[17:08] <ridd> ok
[17:09] <divider> NoraZoe: Did you activate any drivers as of recent?
[17:09] <vocx> starhash, by the way, my PC will turn 4 years old in February. I'm just saying it's noticeable. It boots slower now.
[17:09] <starhash> vocx: By the way, my install is in a partition on the first 20 or so GB of the drive.
[17:09] <ridd> i install ubuntu but my hdd was crash
[17:09] <NoraZoe> yea the one to help me get on the internet
[17:09] <starhash> vocx: Hmm
[17:09] <ridd> i do not it again
[17:09] <shled> How come my internet connection does not work until after I manually run /etc/init.d/network restart several times?
[17:10] <divider> NoraZoe: so no graphic drivers have been installed? Then you need to reinstall your x server. its a snap/
[17:10] <ridd> hdd cost 100$
[17:10] <Delano-155023767> Hello?
[17:10] <NoraZoe> how do i do that
[17:10] <dual> If I want KDE in my Gnome Ubuntu, can I just do sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop?
[17:10] <divider> NoraZoe: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-tiphow-to-removeinstall-and-reconfigure-xorg-without-reinstalling-ubuntu.html
[17:10] <divider> NoraZoe: do all that, then reboot
[17:11] <vocx> dual
[17:11] <NoraZoe> ok thanks
[17:11] <Beltz> I tried Ubuntu about 2 years ago and wasn't crazy about it... but now Vista is driving me nuts. Anyway has there been much change in Ubuntu in tthe last 2 versions or so? Or just small modifications? ps - i dont really care about bundledd software personally...
[17:11] <starhash> shled: Don't know how useful this is, but it's great having a router/firewall (netgear wgr614) to worry about the Ethernet/Internet connection. After that, Ubuntu just automatically connects.
[17:11] <dual> vocx, yes?
[17:11] <diffra> Beltz, what kind of changes?
[17:11] <divider> -------------------------------------------------------who here needs some help?
[17:11] <IdleOne> dual: yes
[17:11] <Beltz> Interface changes, interface customizability perhaps...
[17:11] <starhash> Beltz: I moved from Hardy to Karmic and I think I'm OK.
[17:11] <diffra> 9.10 had a nice GUI update.
[17:11] <vocx> dual, yes. You do not need to install the whole desktop. If you just want to run some programs, you need only kdelibs or something like that.
[17:11] <Beltz> Performance, better options for custom folders (ie. thumbnail display vs details display)
[17:11] <divider> dual: if you don't want gnome, download kubuntu. :P
[17:11] <starhash> Beltz: It's better in small ways, not a radical interface shift.
[17:12] <IdleOne> divider: how does the helpie know what the helper can help with?
[17:12] <Beltz> Just stuff to make it more efficient using my computer
[17:12] <Serendippo> Beltz: Ubuntu still uses gnome 2.x . but Kubuntu has the newer shinier kde4
[17:12] <dual> vocx, I want to switch to KDE for some time just to try, without reinstalling
[17:12] <Beltz> Ive had only good experiences with vista unlike many... but it keeps changing my goddamn folder settings and its pissing me off
[17:12] <diffra> i'm noticing (i just upgraded from 8.04) that 9.10 boots faster and feels snappier and less bloated.
[17:12] <dual> divider, I don't know if I want kde
[17:12] <shled> starhash: got a router actually. worked like a charm before I upgraded to karmic. since then, I have the behaviour I described above.
[17:12] <divider> IdleOne:  by asking. :P
[17:12] <coupe> salve a tuttiii
[17:12] <starhash> IdleOne: I would just ask your question
[17:12] <IdleOne> dual: install kubuntu-desktop
[17:12] <ridd> install programs on ubuntu is very complicated
[17:12] <coupe> salve vorrei un informazione
[17:12] <dual> IdleOne, :)
[17:12] <divider> dual: I don't recommend KDE, I don't care for the interface, its too much like winblowz
[17:13] <Beltz> is Kubuntu as stable as Ubuntu and therefore aesthetics are the only reason to pick one over the other (assuming a great computer)
[17:13] <shled> starhash: I was/am using a /etc/network/interfaces + /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf configuration
[17:13] <diffra> if you're big on themes, check these out as well: http://www.bisigi-project.org/?page_id=6&lang=en
[17:13] <vocx> dual, yes, then you are good. You can use both gnome and kde. Or you can try KDE in a virtual machine.  Just totally the Ubuntu default.
[17:13] <dual> divider, I like how it has something like Devilspie built in
[17:13] <coupe> quale versione di ubuntu mi consigliate per u  amd atlhon 1.00 gh 256 ram
[17:13] <Beltz> diffra thanks... I really want to make a l337 looking desktop - and i use that lame term only to indicate the intent clearer :)
[17:13] <starhash> shled: I wonder if your old settings are coming in the way of the new autoconfig.
[17:13] <divider> dual: you can install any kde app in ubuntu using apt-get
[17:13] <dual> divider, and tabbed windows
[17:14] <diffra> well, i'm using the 'infinity' theme on my dual monitor setup.  dead sexy.
[17:14] <divider> dual:  what do you mean like a tabbed terminal?
[17:14] <PenquinCoder_> Anyone able to please assist in getting Atheros AR928x working for 9.10 x64? Have tried many different setups, and cannot get to work now.
[17:14] <dual> divider, yes
[17:14] <shled> starhash: any suggestions how to possibly fix this?
[17:14] <divider> dual: you can do that in gnome.
[17:14] <dual> divider, how?
[17:14] <divider> dual: right click open new tab. :P
[17:14] <dual> I mean, can i tab gimp, xchat and pidgin in one window?
[17:15] <coupe>  quale versione di ubuntu mi consigliate per u  amd atlhon 1.00 gh 256 ram
[17:15] <starhash> ridd: Installing apps is much easier than in Windows. In the latest Ubuntu, just click on Applications: Ubuntu Software Center. Older versions, choose Add/Remove.
[17:15] <angelus> dual yes you can
[17:15] <divider> dual: I'm not sure what you mean.
[17:15] <vocx> !it | coupe
[17:15] <IdleOne> coupe: xubuntu
[17:15] <starhash> shled: no, sorry
[17:15] <ridd> i install programs on ubuntu and mamy errors appears
[17:15] <dual> divider, angelus like this http://www.undefinedfire.com/static/kde/window-tabbing.png
[17:15] <dual> angelus, can I do that in Gnome?
[17:15] <starhash> ridd: How did you install them? (With Ubuntu Software Center?)
[17:15] <angelus> yup,
[17:16] <angelus> you need the CompizConfig settings manager, get it from the repos
[17:16] <ramiel> Byte
[17:16] <ridd> i download programs from internet
[17:16] <dual> angelus, I hate compiz
[17:16] <dual> angelus, because I can't use it with devilspie, and KDE has both that and a Devilspie-like configuration tool
[17:16] <dual> So I want to try it
[17:16] <IdleOne> dual: you can install kde-desktop try it out for a while decide what you prefer. then if you chose to keep just kde see !purekde if you chose to go back to just gnome see !puregnome
[17:16] <starhash> ridd: OK, so you downloaded a package file (with extension .deb)?
[17:16] <ridd> rpm or tar.gz
[17:16] <Beltz> Is it possible to do a taskbar like this on Ubuntu? http://img689.imageshack.us/i/shortcut.jpg/
[17:17] <Byte> Havine troubles getting wireless driver working on HP Compaq 6715b with Ubuntu 9.10, this a known problem, or am I doing something wrong ?
[17:17] <Beltz> wait wrong screenshot sorry LOL
[17:17] <angelus> dual i dont know if you can do it without compiz
[17:17] <dual> IdleOne, ok
[17:17] <dual> angelus, I'll give kde a try
[17:17] <amazon> amazon@ubuntu
[17:17] <Tiders-> Is there any way to configure either ALL of UBuntu or just cedega to connect using completely a socks 5 proxy
[17:17] <angelus> dual sure,
[17:17] <starhash> ridd: Ubuntu doesn't use rpms. targ.gz can be used for manual installation, but I'd avoid it if a package is available.
[17:17] <starhash> What's the program you wanted to install?
[17:17] <angelus> but you only need the kubuntu desktop .... no need to re-install the whole thing
[17:17] <angelus> dual ^^
[17:17] <Beltz> Ok, is it possible to do this with Ubuntu, for the taskbar: http://img4.imageshack.us/i/shortcutcl.jpg/
[17:17] <dual> angelus, yes, I am installing it now
[17:18] <angelus> kool,
[17:18] <ShayMor432> Hello , i would like to create a tar.gz archive of folder (that contains more folders and files) and i want the archive to be dived into 4.0gb parts how can i do this ?
[17:18] <NoraZoe> so i tried that and it still doesnt work
[17:18] <ridd> i dont remember yet
[17:18] <dual> angelus, I've been using ubuntu for 3 years, but never really tried KDE, so I think it's time to
[17:18] <divider> NoraZoe: well then your graphics cannot support Desktop effects.
[17:18] <angelus> yep, i tried KDE ... just didnt like it :P ..
[17:19] <NoraZoe> but it did support it
[17:19] <divider> NoraZoe: you need to have direct rendering.
[17:19] <ridd> should i bay new hdd and play with ubuntu again ?
[17:19] <divider> NoraZoe: glxinfo | grep direct
[17:19] <dual> Is KDE 4.4 out for Ubuntu yet?
[17:19] <erUSUL> dual: #kubuntu
[17:19] <starhash> ShayMor432: I believe the latest Archive Manager in karmic supports split archives.
[17:19] <dual> erUSUL, yea :)
[17:19] <llutz> ShayMor432: use tar | split
[17:20] <ShayMor432> starhash: i see option of split when i press on the folder right click and compress but its disabled why ?
[17:20] <NoraZoe> ok what was that suppose to do?
[17:21] <starhash> ridd: That's what I did (instead of putting Ubuntu on my Windows harddrive). But you already have an Ubuntu installation, right?
[17:21] <bastidrazor> Beltz: mIRC looks horrible :P
[17:21] <starhash> ShayMor432: Hmm, don't know.

[17:25] <divider> NoraZoe: Your desktop effects are disabled for a reason. I honestly think your GFX card isn't supported.
[17:26] <bastidrazor> shahzad_: that would be a bad download of a fake movie. find a new torrent.
[17:26] <ubuntu_> my prob is error 15 what i got
[17:26] <starhash> Mosx: What happens when you try?
[17:26] <shahzad_> bastidrazor: dear how could you say that
[17:26] <divider> Mosx: what do you mean by nautilus, you mean non-terminal ownership control?
[17:26] <vocx> devkid, I don't see a problem with the bug report. It seems correct.
[17:26] <NoraZoe> well it doesnt make since cuz all of it was working before, i did try to do that compiz fusion thing and it messed up right after that
[17:26] <bastidrazor> shahzad_: am i wrong?
[17:26] <NoraZoe> i just want it to go back to the way it was
[17:27] <shahzad_> i have downloaded dvd rip and then when run it shows me an error messge website link to download movie x player
[17:27] <devkid> vocx, so what should i do now?
[17:27] <divider> NoraZoe: thats why.
[17:27] <starhash> ubuntu_ : But if it's your laptop, you should have the password for the bios, right?
[17:27] <devkid> i reported it to upstart bug the developer changed it to null
[17:27] <bastidrazor> shahzad_: exactly.
[17:27] <vocx> devkid, check again
[17:27] <NoraZoe> ok so how do i get rid of that to go back to normal
[17:27] <ubuntu_> yes
[17:27] <shahzad_> bastidrazor: so on that link i found also movie x player but it is of 2 dollor
[17:27] <divider> NoraZoe: use the synaptic package manager.
[17:28] <NoraZoe> where do i find that
[17:28] <bastidrazor> shahzad_: it is a scam, find a new torrent.
[17:28] <ubuntu_> so what else
[17:28] <starhash> ubuntu_: OK, so just go into the BIOS setup, and change your boot options to boot from the CD first, then the harddrive. Then boot from the Live CD.
[17:28] <divider> shahzad: sounds like you downloaded a pirated movie that is fake. Like the new moon rip.
[17:28] <shahzad_> plz tell me some way to play it,
[17:28] <danger_> Hi I have MAJOR issues after a 9.10 upgrade, it just will NOT boot. Can someone help me please?
[17:28] <divider> shahzad_:  it's a pirated movie isn't it?
[17:28] <NoraZoe> ahh ok i found it now what do i do?
[17:29] <jeff__> NoraZoe: remove whatever packages you installed before it messed up. synaptic is in System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager
[17:29] <divider> NoraZoe:  in the search type compiz
[17:29] <ubuntu_> then
[17:29] <divider> NoraZoe: and then remove compiz
[17:29] <starhash> General tip to everyone: Please don't run installs without a UPS. In fact, don't run anything without a UPS. Seems like a lot of people are having trouble with failed/botched installs.
[17:29] <Mosx> ffs i just want to delete a file - how can i become the owner ? is chown the only option ?
[17:30] <jeff__> starhash: UPS?
[17:30] <cRUDE> chgroup
[17:30] <ubuntu_> what next
[17:30] <cRUDE> or sudo nautilus
[17:30] <starhash> jeff__ : UPS = uninterruptible power supply. It's basically a battery for your computer. Every computer store carries them.
[17:30] <soreau> divider: Why are you telling people to remove compiz?
[17:30] <starhash> ubuntu_ : Just a sec
[17:30] <cRUDE> Mosx: just run sudo nautilus
[17:31] <soreau> divider: All you have to do is disable it in gnome-appearance-properties
[17:31] <anoneemouse> hi... i just installed karmic on a dual boot and am getting a grub rescue console with an unknown hard drive error
[17:31] <jeff__> starhash: ah, i should have known that.
[17:31] <Mosx> #cRUDE can i configure the system to always do that ?
[17:31] <Strogg> 'lo 'lo
[17:32] <anoneemouse> can someone please help me... my system is basically a brick now
[17:32] <erUSUL> !gksudo cRUDE Mosx
[17:32] <starhash> jeff__ : Laptops, of course, already have a battery. But a UPS is also good for smoothing out line disturbances. Some have warranties to where if your computer is fried by a line spike, they'll pay for a new computer.
[17:32] <danger_> please has no one any ideas on my upgrade problems with 9.04 -> 9.10 can't even get to a desktop :(
[17:32] <erUSUL> !gksudo | cRUDE Mosx
[17:32] <starhash> anoneemouse: Please follow the ubuntu_ thread. It might help.
[17:32] <bigern2009> hi i have a quick question, basically my headphone jack does cut the audio to my speakers any body know how to fix this??
[17:32] <NoraZoe> ok now what????? i just took it off
[17:32] <jeff__> starhash: how much would a decent one cost? anything to look out for specifically if i were buying one?
[17:32] <starhash> ubottu: Thanks for the link.
[17:32] <NoraZoe> should i restart?
[17:33] <vocx> devkid, your bug is filled in the package "usplash (Ubuntu)". Which means it is filled correctly in the package usplash within the distribution Ubuntu. The developer probably got confused. You are filling the bug in the Ubuntu bug tracker and not in the upstream one.
[17:33] <anoneemouse> where is that starhash?
[17:33] <Strogg> I'm a debian user that is debugging a Wubi ubuntu installation for his boss.  He ran the updates for Karmic, and the next time he booted, the system complained about not being able to find the root fs.   I've downloaded grml and booted off that, and found the ubuntu directory in the windows filesystem.  How do I go about fixing grub?
[17:33] <cRUDE> Mosx: u must mean your / directory
[17:33] <starhash> anoneemouse: I'm going to respond to user ubuntu_ in a few minutes. That's what I'm talking about.
[17:33] <vocx> devkid, notice how the bug now has status "confirmed"
[17:33] <anoneemouse> oh ok... thanks
[17:33] <Strogg> or rather.. how is grub on wubi different from a normal grub install?
[17:34] <Mosx> the files are in /var/www
[17:34] <Mosx> gksudo didn't work
[17:35] <cRUDE> Mosx: ah yes, you have to do that
[17:35] <Mosx> when nautilus popped up it wouldn't open Computer
[17:35] <Mosx> so i ended up doing a chown
[17:35] <starhash> jeff__ I hardly ever run above 150 watts power. If you get a 300 watt (note: VA or Volt-Amps are different from watts) UPS, you should be good. Note: If you don't live in a power cut prone area, you don't need a huge UPS, just one that will give you a few minutes to shut your computer down.
[17:35] <danger_> Anyone - please help!
[17:35] <mauss> !list
[17:36] <starhash> jeff__ : http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=72
[17:36] <vocx> !please | danger_
[17:36] <Mosx> sure Nautilus should be able to change the owner given sudo password
[17:36] <Mosx> surely ?
[17:36] <cRUDE> Mosx: /var is in filesystem
[17:36] <ubuntu_> starhash-u gona tell me somthing
[17:36] <devkid> vocx, oh thanks it seems that launchpad has a delay or such, i didn't see the previous posts/changes before i posted my last message, thx
[17:37] <NoraZoe> ok so i did that and i restarted now when i click appearances and go to visual effects it say compiz not installed
[17:37] <reeher> My xorg.conf is blank.  I've tried running dpkg-reconfigure and dexconf to recreate it, and it is still 0 size.
[17:37] <fcn> vlc shuts down for some reason: http://pastebin.com/d788ff414
[17:37] <NoraZoe> and it wont let me click normal or extra
[17:37] <reeher> Oh, my question, how do I force Ubunto 9.10 to create one?
[17:37] <ChogyDan> reeher: if you are running karmic, that is supposed to happen
[17:37] <soreau> NoraZoe: Whoever told you to remove compiz was an idiot
[17:37] <jeff__> starhash: thanks. i just finished up building my desktop, so i'll definitely look into it (albeit a bit leisurely, as i live on a university campus right now and we have backup generators on campus)
[17:37] <jeff__> as far as i know
[17:37] <jeff__> haha
[17:37] <vocx> devkid, yes that's what I meant by check again.  If you don't know how to, just ask. If you think the installation was interrupted, you probably need to do it again. You can't just fix your bootloader since half your system files probably aren't in place.
[17:38] <Tiders-> reeher, Are you using a Nvidia driver?
[17:38] <erUSUL> reeher: Xserver -configure iirc
[17:38] <soreau> NoraZoe: Install compiz and if you have trouble getting it working, come to #compiz and I will help you
[17:38] <cRUDE> NoraZoe: your graphics card may not be supported
[17:38] <divider> soreau:  his issue was compiz.
[17:38] <devkid> vocx, sorry, i didn't understand it correctly, my englisch isn't the best ^^
[17:38] <soreau> divider: That's why I'm offering to help him with it
[17:39] <anoneemouse> starhash: my installation completed, then i got an error(no such partition). then i went through the guide outlined in #grub. everything ran without errors. I then get the no such hard drive error. Im installing from a flash drive
[17:39] <NoraZoe> lol im not a he but thats not important
[17:39] <soreau> divider: There is never a reason to remove compiz packages
[17:39] <anoneemouse> the grub install even sees my partitions and all my installed operating systems. linux and windows xp
[17:39] <NoraZoe> ok i will try to install it again
[17:39] <advocate> help with this error   ppp0: error fetching interface information: Device not found

[17:40] <advocate> help with this error help with this error   ppp0: error fetching interface information: Device not found
[17:40] <starhash> anoneemouse: Hmm, I've had trouble with both installing to and running from USB (whether flash or harddrive). I gave up and went to standard CD to internal hard drive install.
[17:40] <jetienne> U-b-u-n-t-u: goto getflash, download and install the .deb for 8.04

[17:41] <shahzad_> hi! i unable to run any video file on my firefox
[17:41] <vocx> devkid, in summary. Ask the developer if the bug is correctly filed now, and then provide the information he may need. Just clarify things, since that bug has already a lot of traffic, mostly useless.
[17:41] <jetienne> diffra: trying
[17:41] <U-b-u-n-t-u> jetienne, thanks
[17:41] <anoneemouse> starhash: what im wondering is since my installation completed there should be a way to just mount my installation and fix my grub configuration files
[17:41] <ericrost> where should I file a bug that is an issue with ubuntu's default config for a package that doesn't track bugs on launchpad and points directly upstream?
[17:41] <devkid> vocx, ok, thx :)
[17:41] <ericrost> its a distribution config issue
[17:41] <advocate> help with this error   ppp0: error fetching interface information: Device not found
[17:41] <diffra> ericrost, maybe ask #ubuntu-bugs ?
[17:41] <starhash> anoneemouse: Right, just run the live cd. Go to Places and choose the partition you want to mount.
[17:41] <gizmobay> Does anyone have a solution to using samba to share a printer with WinXP? I have a Samsung CLP300 installed on Ubuntu. Everything was working before Karmic.
[17:42] <anoneemouse> done
[17:42] <SmokeyD> hey everyone, since I upgraded to Karmic, the colours of all the movies that I play are weird.
[17:42] <divider> soreau: there is when it is confilicting with the build in desktop effects.
[17:42] <SmokeyD> Reds become blue/green-ish, green colors are purple

[17:42] <U-b-u-n-t-u> jetienne, I am using the 64 bit os....... it wouldnt install the .deb   suggestions?
[17:42] <shahzad_> plz help, i unable to run any video on my firefox
[17:43] <advocate> erusul need more help
[17:43] <SmokeyD> it doesn't matter which program I use (movie player, kaffeine, etc)
[17:43] <divider> U-b-u-n-t-u: is it a 64 bit application your installing?
[17:43] <starhash> anoneemouse: Also the startupmanager program has been really great for fixing such problems. (I don't know if it'll reinstall grub, but it'll rewrite your grub.cfg, the list of OS's to boot). sudo apt-get install startupmanager. Run it and it'll update the list. Make a copy of /boot/grub/grub.cfg first.
[17:43] <SmokeyD> and it also doesn't matter if it is an xvid encoded movie or a dvd
[17:43] <jetienne> U-b-u-n-t-u: install 32bit version of ubuntu would be my suggestion. if not possible, google "linux flash 64", it is in the adobe research lab
[17:43] <erUSUL> advocate: i need more info. what gives that error ? in which context?
[17:43] <erUSUL> !details | advocate
[17:43] <starhash> anoneemouse: Good luck and stare at your command lines before hitting Enter
[17:44] <soreau> divider: "confilicting with the build in desktop effects." ? What is that supposed to mean?
[17:44] <divider> SmokeyD:  change your video output to X11
[17:44] <anoneemouse> thanks starhash
[17:44] <U-b-u-n-t-u> jetienne, ok divider adobe only listed one deb and it was for 32 bit and it wont install
[17:44] <advocate> i upgraded to 9.10 and there is no internet connection
[17:44] <anoneemouse> if all else fails ill just load the windows xp boot loader and edit boot.ini to load linux
[17:44] <luciano> oi vc é homem ou mulher?

[17:45] <anoneemouse> Couldn't find package startupmanager
[17:45] <SmokeyD> divider: where should I change that?
[17:45] <shahzad_> ?
[17:45] <advocate> and when i run sudo  pppoeconf and ifconfig PPP0 i got this message
[17:45] <divider> soreau:  it means that he is trying to run "DESKTOP EFFECTS" NOT COMPIZ. He installed compiz as a boo boo. Not knowing Desktop effects would be disabled as compiz takes over the means of control.
[17:45] <luciano> #unbutu-br
[17:45] <kossan_> Anyone that can write users in the terminal and give me the output?
[17:46] <divider> SmokeyD: are you using VLC?
[17:46] <SmokeyD> divider: as I said: kaffeine, movie player, all of them
[17:46] <U-b-u-n-t-u> divider, yes for 64 bit
[17:46] <starhash> anoneemouse: Go to synaptic and add all repositories. (Settings: Repositories)
[17:46] <SmokeyD> divider: the "movie player" in ubuntu turns out to be totem
[17:47] <SmokeyD> but all of them have the same problem
[17:47] <deacon_> i recently installed ubunto on 2 systems,one has the add/remove the other doesnt
[17:47] <SmokeyD> I didn't have this problem before upgrading to karmic
[17:47] <divider> SmokeyD: sudo apt-get install vlc
[17:47] <starhash> deacon_: Add/remove what?
[17:47] <deacon_> add/remove from the apps tab
[17:47] <SmokeyD> divider: vlc is the only program that works?
[17:47] <shahzad_> i unable to run any video on my firefox
[17:48] <SmokeyD> I can't use any other program?
[17:48] <[-jon-]_> hi why the hell did ubuntu overwrite the mbr on my windows install
[17:48] <starhash> deacon_: Add/Remove is known as Ubuntu Software Center in Karmic, but you probably already knew that.
[17:48] <deacon_> nope
[17:48] <moparisthebest> [-jon-]_, why wouldn't you want it to? You can still boot to windows from GRUB
[17:48] <luciano> al guem pode me dizer o que é isto
[17:48] <erUSUL> [-jon-]_: it needs a bootloader to boot
[17:48] <moparisthebest> if it didn't you wouldn't be able to boot into ubuntu [-jon-]_
[17:48] <divider> U-b-u-n-t-u: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/flashplayer10_1_p1_linux_111709.tar.gz
[17:48] <[-jon-]_> moparisthebest: grub wont boot without having ALL disks pressent
[17:49] <SmokeyD> I don't want to install vlc, I want to use the default ubuntu programs
[17:49] <[-jon-]_> moparisthebest: hi i have multiple hard drives
[17:49] <[-jon-]_> leave the windows one alone
[17:49] <U-b-u-n-t-u> divider, ok trying it
[17:49] <erUSUL> [-jon-]_: grub supports booting windows but windows bootloader can not boot linux
[17:49] <divider> SmokeyD: vlc is the best video player on the market, it plays anything without fail.
[17:49] <moparisthebest> [-jon-]_, I have multiple hard drives too, the only one grub needs present to boot is the one it is on
[17:49] <starhash> [-jon-]_: Sorry. On the last page of the Ubuntu installation, there's an advanced button which will allow you to specify boot loader options.
[17:49] <luciano> tem algum brasileiro aqui????????
[17:49] <[-jon-]_> moparisthebest: I cant boot windows w/o my ubuntu disk present....
[17:49] <erUSUL> !br | luciano
[17:49] <mirela321csm> buna
[17:49] <SmokeyD> divider: thanks for your help, but it is not the answer I am looking for. I am having a problem with totem/kaffeine/etc
[17:49] <divider> SmokeyD: you can also you it as a streaming media server for your network, and use it as webcam testing program. :P
[17:49] <[-jon-]_> starhash: thats retarded. they should be seperate installs. leave the other disk alone
[17:50] <divider> SmokeyD: did you install the GStreamer Codecs?
[17:50] <diffra> [-jon-]_,  how do you propose to switch between OSes on boot, then?
[17:50] <moparisthebest> [-jon-]_, don't know why it installed the bootloader on another disk, that would be strange indeed
[17:50] <Stefan> Hi, I have a question regarding opensync. The current Ubuntu package "opensync-plugin-synce"  seems not cooperating with bash command "msynctool"...anybody has a hint where I find a version of opensync-plugin-synce that works?
[17:50] <[-jon-]_> diffra: boot to a different drive?
[17:50] <kossan_> [-jon-]_: And where are you going to choose which drive to boot in the first place+
[17:50] <[-jon-]_> the bios.....?
[17:50] <[-jon-]_> MAN thats hard
[17:50] <starhash> [-jon-]_: You can put a boot loader on a USB flash or a floppy to allow you to boot Linux. If you take the flash disk out, you're left with your normal Windows boot.
[17:50] <cRUDE> SmokeyD: you can also try installing all Gstreamers plug-ins, but it will never be as good as VLC
[17:50] <diffra> [-jon-]_, Fair enough.  Generally not the way most people would do it, but fair enough.  You can select how to install grub if you use the alternate ubuntu install CD.
[17:51] <divider> Stefan: try just sync + tab
[17:51] <albert_> close
[17:51] <divider> cRUDE: agreed. Vlc is god.
[17:51] <[-jon-]_> and grub wont boot without all 4 drives present
[17:51] <albert_> exit
[17:51] <[-jon-]_> even though only 2 are boot drives
[17:51] <moparisthebest> does anyone have experiance with dnsmasq as a caching dns server?
[17:51] <starhash> diffra, [-jon-]_ can also instruct grub where to install (or not) with the Advanced button on the last page of the standard install.
[17:51] <erUSUL> !adsl | advocate
[17:52] <vocx> [-jon-]_, I think you should take this conversation elsewhere. No need to rant.
[17:52] <[-jon-]_> sorry I like stuff screwing with other OS installs without telling me
[17:52] <U-b-u-n-t-u> divider,  there were two files flash-installer and libflashplayer.so  what do I do with those?
[17:52] <kossan_> [-jon-]_: ... It's not like it's hard to fix the mbr if you delete linux..
[17:53] <moparisthebest> I'm having a problem with dnsmasq. I specify addresses like this, for example, 'address=/mediacenter/<IP_ADDRESS>', but a lookup for 'mediacenter' fails, where a lookup for 'mediacenter.' succeeds
[17:53] <starhash> [-jon-]_ : Does your BIOS have a MBR protection function? Mine does, and after a MBR change, it'll ask if I want to keep the new one, or restore the old one.
[17:53] <starhash> [-jon-]_ Highly recommended. Also protects against MBR viruses from Windows.
[17:53] <llutz> [-jon-]_: use windows-cd to "fixmbr" and live-cd to write grub into partition after that, done
[17:53] <[-jon-]_> starhash: mine doesnt
[17:54] <divider> U-b-u-n-t-u: extract and change to the directory where you have extracted them, and run sudo sh flashplayer-installer

[17:55] <divider> starhash: I love having that feature, great against boot sector virus

The disk usage analyzer says it's near 100% used, but nothing is listed as taking up more than 2MB on the partition.  Is there a need to update whatever df -h looks at?

[18:00] <LeonBrussels> Release: Then you are better off with something more lightweight.  1. are there other ports i need to open to access irc? currently i use 6667 default, and it appears i have issues with smb, not seeing network shares, and irc is harder if impossible to log into.  2. where does gufw stores its rules? 3. is there something i need else to add to gufw for irc and smb to be seen, because when gufw is disabled, i can see sh
[18:00] <Release> ok
[18:00] <divider> maveas: yes.
[18:00] <maveas> Why did you stop?
[18:01] <maveas> Changed to grey/white?
[18:01] <allowoverride> for both my questions pm me. watcing this screen makes me dizzy ;)
[18:01] <divider> maveas: Not as much money. and Yes grey/white.
[18:01] <diffra> df -i /tmp?
[18:01] <maveas> Cool
[18:01] <maveas> Whom are you working for?
[18:01] <divider> allowoverride: dizzy attack!
[18:01] <netbook> How can I start catting a file halfway through?
[18:01] <starhash> LeonBrussels: I think Release is OK, I have a full Ubuntu installation on a 4GB flash disk, and I even have a separate 1GB partition for FAT32 moving files around.
[18:01] <moparisthebest> allowoverride, I've been using 64-bit kubuntu for years, since Dapper or something, and the only problem I've ever had is no flash or java applets in a 64-bit browser, but even that is solved now, I'm still on 8.04 but I'll be upgrading soon
[18:01] <divider> maveas: I was freelance.
[18:01] <diffra> netbook, try tail?
[18:01] <maveas> What about know?
[18:01] <epinky> !ot | maveas
[18:02] <Release> starhash ?=
[18:02] <maveas> I know the most blackhats are "freelance" xD
[18:02] <venger> http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
[18:02] <netbook> diffra I want something like "cat -500linesin file
[18:02] <maveas> Oh, cmon
[18:02] <divider> maveas: ill be in ot
[18:02] <allowoverride> moparisthebest: thanks for your input. so you would say, for net surfing it would be just fine? all plugins for firefox work that you have come across? thanks
[18:02] <netbook> diffra can you help me out?
[18:02] <aresnick> diffra: seems to be accurate--2% in use, see the same pasteurl, http://gist.github.com/237105
[18:02] <diffra> you want to print all but the first 500 lines of a file?
[18:02] <netbook> diffra actually i want to start halfway through a video faile
[18:02] <divider> maveas: /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:03] <moparisthebest> yes allowoverride , all my firefox plugins work no problem, I've loved it for all these years, and I use 32-bit kubuntu on some other computers too and love that as well
[18:03] <netbook> diffra i am streaming over ssh "ssh me@me "cat file"|mplayer -"
[18:03] <starhash> Release: Just go with unetbootin, like others said.
[18:03] <TheCheeze> ok i am back and REALLY have a problem now. i ran an fsck and now my gnome is completely broken. when i reboot it goes to a terminal environment and if i startx all i get is my wallpaper and blinking menu bars. does anyone know how i can fix this?
[18:03] <Release> okok
[18:03] <Release> thanks all
[18:03] <diffra> aresnick, can you post a df -h /tmp in there as well?
[18:03] <diffra> netbook, i'm not 100% sure that will work.
[18:03] <shahzad_> please help me to run videos on my firefox
[18:03] <allowoverride> moparisthebest: so does the 64 bit os run 2x as fast as 32 bit?
[18:03] <diffra> videos tend to not like having partial files.
[18:04] <starhash> shahzad_ : sudo apt-get install vlc
[18:04] <netbook> diffra it is working now, but it starts at beginning, i want to start halfway through
[18:04] <Chousuke> allowoverride: no :P
[18:04] <diffra> right
[18:04] <diffra> it won't like missing the first half of the file
[18:04] <diffra> and probably won't play
[18:04] <Stefan> found better channel to discuss my problem (opensync), bb
[18:04] <livingdaylight_> ja hallo
[18:04] <vocx> starhash, maybe he means embeded flash videos
[18:04] <livingdaylight_> t'ja
[18:04] <Chousuke> allowoverride: it's possibly faster at some things, though.
[18:04] <netbook> diffra can you give me command to try out?
[18:04] <TheCheeze> diffra was it you that waqs tryinmg to help me about a half hour ago?
[18:04] <starhash> shahzad_ : What kind of videos?
[18:04] <allowoverride> Chousuke: if you could explain in detail or point me to a link that would be great. thanks
[18:05] <diffra> TheCheeze, among others, yep!
[18:05] <livingdaylight_> i remooof wine but when i reinstall the previous application come back?!?! why is it?
[18:05] <aresnick> Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
[18:05] <aresnick> /dev/mapper/dror-tmp  368M  334M   16M  96% /tmp
[18:05] <Chousuke> allowoverride: it's very technical, and I don't know the details :/
[18:05] <aresnick> sorry!--
[18:05] <blackxored> livingdaylight, drop .wine
[18:05] <djustice> netbook: read 'man mplayer' for the 'starting point' flag. to autoskip to that area. you cant cat half of a video file. unless it's ogg vorbis.
[18:05] <allowoverride> k
[18:05] <diffra> i'm sorry aresnick, i meant du -h /tmp
[18:05] <aresnick> diffra: done, same URL -- still reports 96% in use
[18:05] <allowoverride> im looking for details
[18:05] <aresnick> diffra: OK, gimme a sec
[18:05] <netbook> ok
[18:05] <allowoverride> for both my questions
[18:05] <TheCheeze> diffra- any clue on the current problem i put up there? i am COMPLETELY stumped
[18:05] <Chousuke> allowoverride: but if there's nothing that keeps you using 32-bit ubuntu (like wine), then you should be fine with 64-bit as well.
[18:05] <advocate> where can i specific help with ppp0 setup
[18:05] <allowoverride> gufw issue and 64bit vs 32 bit arch.
[18:05] <diffra> TheCheeze, hit me with it again?
[18:05] <erUSUL> !adsl
[18:06] <TheCheeze> ok i am back and REALLY have a problem now. i ran an fsck and now my gnome is completely broken. when i reboot it goes to a terminal environment and if i startx all i get is my wallpaper and blinking menu bars. does anyone know how i can fix this? <-- diffra
[18:06] <advocate> need help on :  CHAP authentication failed: CHAP authentication failure, unit 402
[18:06] <Chousuke> allowoverride: though if you have more than 4GB of RAM you're probably better off with 64-bit in any case.
[18:06] <allowoverride> Chousuke: so wine is keeping people back. what about vm 64bit windows, on 64 bit ubuntu os. should work?
[18:06] <diffra> oy.  from GUI, try sudo apt-get -f install to finish up what it was doing when apt crashed?
[18:06] <Mosx> files in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled under nautilus are just links to files right? how do i delete them ?
[18:06] <allowoverride> Chousuke: does 2-3 gb ram work fine with 64 bit arch?
[18:06] <livingdaylight_> knoppix, this is ubuntu, not knoppix, ja?
[18:07] <Chousuke> allowoverride: sure. it'll work fine with 32-bit too
[18:07] <TheCheeze> diffra i can't run anything
[18:07] <ha1331> Chousuke: why would x64 be better? just curious.
[18:07] <Chousuke> allowoverride: and virtualbox can run 32-bit guests on 64-bit hosts, so no problem there.
[18:07] <aresnick> diffra: Done!  Good call--bitten by the fact that "sudo rm -fR *" doesn't catch dotfiles and dirs--even though I removed .Trash-1000, .Trash-0 was still around.  Any nice way to catch dotfiles with rm?
[18:07] <livingdaylight_> knoppix, bist Du der Klaus?
[18:07] <aresnick> diffra: Thanks a bunch!
[18:07] <allowoverride> i am considering this:  vm on 64 bit, surf the net, ubuntu os, mozilla products for mail and browse
[18:07] <allowoverride> plugin support all around for 64 bit
[18:07] <Chousuke> allowoverride: are there any proprietary programs you might need?
[18:08] <U-b-u-n-t-u> anyone know where I ought to put the flash.so?
[18:08] <Chousuke> allowoverride: flash has 64-bit support now but I'm not sure about skype.
[18:08] <allowoverride> Chousuke: thats just it, i dont know yet lol.. and i dread to find out
[18:08] <TheCheeze> diffra- if i head back to the terminal screen (ctrl f1 or whatever) it says "failed to load module "type1" and "freetype"
[18:08] <ha1331> Flash works, skype works, have em both installed
[18:08] <Chousuke> allowoverride: well, 32-bit is the safe bet.
[18:08] <diffra> aresnick, rm .* will work... with much caution of course
[18:08] <allowoverride> so to rephrase the basics most people use
[18:08] <diffra> TheCheeze, in the terminal it drops to?
[18:09] <aresnick> diffra: Right--but it won't catch everything that's not a dotfile--I guess I was just wondering if there was a flag, but I can check out the manpages or use a regex.  Thanks!
[18:09] <allowoverride> im considering buying a new laptop to surf the net with
[18:09] <Chousuke> ha1331: I don't know much about x86_64 but it has more CPU registers for one.
[18:09] <allowoverride> and i have waited all these years for 64bit dev's to but up to speed
[18:09] <allowoverride> are they?
[18:10] <ha1331> allowoverride: Skype works on x64, just in case you didn't notice when I said it. Didn't point out I was telling it to you.
[18:10] <allowoverride> as for specific programs, i think i will need it to be able to do those things 32 bit does.
[18:10] <aksci> my nautilus crashes on mounting particular drives and opening folders! is it because of thumbnails? but it works great when i open it as root
[18:10] <allowoverride> ha1331: got it thanks
[18:10] <knoppix> hi
[18:10] <Chousuke> allowoverride: mostly, yes.
[18:10] <allowoverride> yah, if you put my name in front a pop up shows ;)
[18:10] <DeathMetalDean> does anyone know how to install farsight2? I want it to be able to use the voice chat and the video call of amsn.
[18:10] <ha1331> Chousuke: ok, didn't know that.
[18:10] <Chousuke> allowoverride: proprietary programs are the ~only block you might have. all open source stuff is pretty much 64-bit ready.
[18:11] <allowoverride> Chousuke: so what to you is the single/duo most important 64 bit does that you are impressed with and like )
[18:11] <allowoverride> Chousuke: got it
[18:11] <Chousuke> allowoverride: but in a pinch you can always install a 32-bit environment and run 32-bit apps on your 64-bit OS
[18:11] <allowoverride> yah, not worried about proprietary stuff, unless pdf viewing is
 moparisthebest: so does the 64 bit os run 2x as fast as 32 bit?
[18:11] <moparisthebest> absolutely not :P
[18:11] <TheCheeze> diffra- hold on, i need to bring it to my router for a hardwire
[18:11] <moparisthebest> but servers are faster, apache, lighttpd, mysql etc
[18:11] <Chousuke> allowoverride: there are many open source PDF viewers :)
[18:12] <moparisthebest> and as the compiler continues to improve so do speeds
[18:12] <allowoverride> moparisthebest: so 64 bit you would say was build for servers?
[18:12] <Chousuke> allowoverride: ubuntu even has one or two by default.
[18:12] <moparisthebest> but I can't notice a difference in speed in the actual GUI either between 32 or 64 bit
[18:12] <Chousuke> allowoverride: nah. servers are just the machines that usually have a lot of RAM
[18:12] <thiebaude> hi everyone
[18:12] <moparisthebest> you aren't going to notice a speed difference, unless you run a server that is
[18:12] <allowoverride> Chousuke: im opensourse. but you mentioned wine, and some users like wine to play games and such. do things nix can't ... yet...
[18:12] <allowoverride> moparisthebest: thanks, thats good input
[18:13] <Chousuke> allowoverride: 32-bit processors get crappy with more than 3GB
[18:13] <moparisthebest> I always use 64-bit for my servers, because I need the extra ram and it is faster for servers
[18:13] <moparisthebest> but nothing wrong with 64-bit as your OS either
[18:13] <allowoverride> ebay has a nice 64 bit xps dell is why im asking all this today
[18:13] <ha1331> allowoverride: 64bit is built more for making money than for "normal" users. My opinnion tho.
[18:13] <Chousuke> allowoverride: well, I think you should be able to run 32-bit wine if you need it. :)
[18:13] <allowoverride> moparisthebest: point taken
[18:13] <allowoverride> ha1331: got it
[18:13] <Chousuke> allowoverride: but setting up the environment is of course extra work, compared to just running a 32-bit OS
[18:14] <allowoverride> Chousuke: that would be for testing purposes. i have rid my env of doze pc/servers about a year now
[18:14] <TheCheeze> diffra- it says subprocess /usr/bin/dpkg returned with an error code (2)
[18:14] <allowoverride> << buntu lappy
[18:14] <livingdaylight_> anyone know where hidden wine files are kept?
[18:14] <Chousuke> allowoverride: I don't know how easy it is in Ubuntu, though.
[18:14] <TheCheeze> sorry i cant exactly pastebin it while on a different machine :(
[18:14] <livingdaylight_> i deleted .wine and removed wine but when i reinstalled it the same apps still show in the menu
[18:14] <allowoverride> so next issue. why is gufw not allowing smb and irc to flourish
[18:14] <Chousuke> allowoverride: I mean setting up an environment to run 32-bit apps on your 64-bit ubuntu. It is possible, just a bit of extra work :)
[18:14] <allowoverride> i ordered the ports open... what am i missing
[18:14] <TheCheeze> update-rc.d not found on PATH
[18:14] <allowoverride> Chousuke: got it. thanks
[18:15] <allowoverride> Chousuke: got links? howto
[18:15] <allowoverride> just for kicks
[18:15] <ha1331> allowoverride: I'm willing to bet that if you would install 32bit, you wouldn't regret it. There wouldn't be moment when you would be missing the "extra 32bits". By that I mean that there hardly is anything _you_ couldn't do with 32bit that you could do with 64bit.
[18:15] <CoolePascal> hmmm
[18:16] <CoolePascal> jij ook hier ?
[18:16] <TheCheeze> diffra i wqill be right back. if you can come up with anything please pm iot so i don't miss it. i am very lost and would hate having to reinstall everything :(
[18:16] <allowoverride> ha1331: you mean 32 bit env on 64 arch. correct?
[18:16] <Colonel_Panik> I have 4gig of memory but ubuntu says I only have 3.2 gig. Why is that?
[18:16] <llutz> Colonel_Panik: 32Bit
[18:17] <wiiguy> after installing nvidia accelerated graphics driver (96) on xubuntu after i restarted all i get is a black screen
[18:17] <ha1331> allowoverride: it doesn't mean that I have something against x86_64, have it my self on my desktop.
[18:17] <Colonel_Panik> llutz, no 64 bit
[18:17] <ha1331> allowoverride: yeah, that's what I ment :)
[18:17] <Chousuke> allowoverride: unfortunately not.  My tv card works
[18:23] <allowoverride> ya know, im totally through with ati
[18:23] <mclur3> stupid kids. attend school instead of bugging this channel
[18:23] <moparisthebest> everything else needed for my computer came with kubuntu
[18:23] <djustice> aksci: it's your user's settings then. there are probably more misconfigurations too. sudo misuse. make a new user account.
[18:23] <allowoverride> whats the best way to find out, in order if a device will work or not. whats the process on ubuntu site
[18:23] <Byte> lucky. Try sitting around sulking without a wireless driver
[18:23] <odder7> is there anybody who can help me? I haven't installed anything today and I cannot login to Ubuntu; I am able to login to the (weird) recovery mode only
[18:24] <djustice> mclur3: heyheyhey. at least they are trying to learn. ;]
[18:24] <ha1331> allowoverride: was just about to say that what ever you do, just avoid ati and you'll be ok :)
[18:24] <moparisthebest> allowoverride, chances are, for the most part, if it works on 32-bit it will work on 64-bit
[18:24] <shahzad_> help me please to run videos in firefox
[18:24] <Colonel_Panik> allowoverride, my HP printers work, my old old umax scsi scanner works
[18:24] <moparisthebest> exceptions are some wireless cards that require pre-compiled firmware and stuff
[18:24] <Strogg> is update-grub still the way you should be upgrading your grub install?
[18:24] <allowoverride> well i got ati to work on this lappy no prob. but still... i have heard nvidia is the linux way
[18:24] <moparisthebest> not pre-compiled really, proprietary
[18:24] <djustice> shahzad_: installed the 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' package yet?
[18:25] <bcurtiswx_> is there a room for people at UDS?
[18:25] <Byte> shahzad_ Download Adobe Flash plugin for Firefox.
[18:25] <moparisthebest> (ie, we can't recompile it)
[18:25] <wiiguy> djustice it says there is no such file/directory
[18:25] <Colonel_Panik> allowoverride, get the beta 64bit flash from Adobe
[18:25] <allowoverride> thanks to all who respond, in advance. i will try to answer and query at this time. all input appreciated big time. thanks
[18:25] <allowoverride> k
[18:25] <Colonel_Panik> allowoverride, unless you gotta be GNU
[18:25] <shahzad_> dfustice: ye i have insalled
[18:25] <LjL> bcurtiswx_: #ubuntu-uds
[18:25] <aksci> djustice: how do i clear all the settings? i cannot create a new user, too much wastage of time! and what do you mean by sudo misuse?
[18:25] <djustice> wiiguy: that's not good. :P. make a new user account ('sudo adduser'). then try that user. see if it still fails. if so, you must fix your driver.
[18:25] <allowoverride> Colonel_Panik: what do you mean?
[18:26] <allowoverride> linux is the kernel, the rest is GNU
[18:26] <allowoverride> my understanding
[18:26] <Colonel_Panik> Adobe flash is propriatory software
[18:26] <shahzad_> djustice a few videos are being displayed but more of them are not, like on youtube
[18:26] <djustice> aksci: you have permissions fail in your ~. a new user takes no time at all rly... but 'sudo rm ~/.*' will erase your users settings to default.
[18:26] <Skate[9]> is there any way to fix my file permission which show as '-????????? ? ? ? ?'
[18:26] <ha1331> allowoverride: the rest is not gnu, lot's of things are but not rest.
[18:26] <Skate[9]> i have tried sudo chown -R and sudo cmhmod -R
[18:27] <allowoverride> ha1331: for most apps, all to me lol
[18:27] <allowoverride> but yes
[18:27] <llutz> Skate[9]: do fsck
[18:27] <Zane2> i just installed ubuntu 9.10 and im not seeing anymore login screen choises, is this normal? as i had a fue in the 9.04 and i like the black defualt one it had
[18:27] <djustice> shahzad_: hm. dunno. :)
[18:27] <Skate[9]> llutz, -a?
[18:27] <ctuininga> A little help?  Can't get a bunch of video files (that worked fine under jaunty) to play.  .wmv files, .avi files, etc.  I've installed ubuntu-restricted-extras, updated with the "proposed" repository, installed all the gstreamer plugins, tried playing with both totem-gstreamer and vlc.  I keep getting "Internal data stream error" and other similar messages.
[18:27] <allowoverride> i agree, as i will not be able to say what is or isnt for All things lol
[18:27] <llutz> Skate[9]: check your filesystem
[18:27] <Mosx> apache2-ssl-certificate is missing
[18:27] <Skate[9]> llutz, fsck -a?
[18:27] <shahzad_> djustice: please tell me then what should i do now
[18:28] <soreau> wiiguy: Are you having trouble getting compiz running?
[18:28] <livingdaylight_> what is the way to unzip .7z ?
[18:28] <xikteny> Skate[9], What is the file in question?
[18:28] <llutz> Skate[9]: 1st see what is reported without
[18:28] <shahzad_> plzzzz help me to display videos on firefox
[18:28] <djustice> shahzad_: run firefox in a terminal, go to youtube, read the output. maybe reinstall ubuntu-restricted-extras? flash either works or it doesnt rly... it may also be your video card...
[18:29] <Skate[9]> xikteny, all of the folders in my home directory are owned by me and have correct permissions, but the sub folders and files all have blank permissions and owner / group
[18:29] <arand> livingdaylight_: install 7zip, should be available in add/rem/softcentre
[18:29]  * ctuininga is feeling rather frustrated with Karmic so far.  :(
[18:29] <jak> Hi when trying to load ubuntu it sais init: mountall main process(600) terminated with status 1
[18:29] <livingdaylight_> arand, ja there are two one says full so i chose that one
[18:29] <nawi2010> quit
[18:29] <jak> and doesnt boot up
[18:29] <allowoverride> brb
[18:29] <an0nmat1r> shahzad_: video as in utube? install java and flash plugins
[18:29] <knoxville_> What is the menu, so if I right click on the desktop, a menu will pop up?
[18:30] <djustice> ctuininga: why would you update to proposed? you should expect your system to break then. install the mplayer codec binary?
[18:30] <Skate[9]> xikteny, i have tried to create a new folder and a new document, and that works, i have also tried sudo cp -R --no-preserve=all old_folder new_folder and it remains the same
[18:30] <wiiguy> djustice again no file found (but i did get something like screen this time though, did not know what it was) :/
[18:30] <shahzad_> an0nmatlr: i have installed but result same
[18:30] <BluesKaj> ctuininga, making a broad statement like that doesn't help, be more specific
[18:30] <ctuininga> djustice, because I saw that as a potential solution to the issues I'm having (posted in the forums)
[18:30] <xikteny> Skate[9], Yeah, that sounds pretty weird.
[18:30] <cbeebie> How do I read the man pages at manpages.ubuntu.com? I can find the compressed pages (like cat.1.gz) but when I open them I just get the unformatted nroff markup. How do I see the formatted man pages?
[18:31] <ctuininga> Can't get a bunch of video files (that worked fine under jaunty) to play.  .wmv files, .avi files, etc.  I've installed ubuntu-restricted-extras, updated with the "proposed" repository, installed all the gstreamer plugins, tried playing with both totem-gstreamer and vlc.  I keep getting "Internal data stream error" and other similar messages.
[18:31] <jak> Hi when trying to load ubuntu it sais init: mountall main process(600) terminated with status 1 and doesnt boot anymre after logo :(
[18:31] <Skate[9]> lol
[18:31] <xikteny> Skate[9], Maybe you should do an fsck.
[18:31] <Skate[9]> xikteny, i just did
[18:31] <Skate[9]> clear a few orphaned inodes
[18:32] <ctuininga> BluesKaj, that's the problem at the moment.
[18:32] <odder7> jak: I have a similiar problem but nobody here seems to give a fck
[18:32] <shahzad_> plzzz help to display youtube videos on firefox
[18:32] <aksci> djustice: any particular solution rather than clearing up all of my config files? tried removing .nautilus but didn't help!
[18:32] <Colonel_Panik> knoxville_, in gnome alt f1 gets you menu
[18:32] <BluesKaj> ctuininga, do you have the medibuntu repos ?
[18:32] <ctuininga> BluesKaj, yup
[18:32] <jak> @odder7 yeah I already used 2 instalation CDs and everytime the same
[18:33] <Skate[9]> lol, my folders are all just missing the execute bit
[18:33] <ctuininga> and w64codecs and non-free-codecs
[18:33] <shahzad_> is there anybody who could help me to display youtube videos
[18:33] <knoxville_> Colonel_Panik: Yeah okay, but I was looking for right click on desktop/wallpaper, and the menu will pop up
[18:33] <diffra> jak: on boot or loading the livecd>?
[18:33] <jak> @diffra live CD worked but after installing error happens
[18:33] <bumblebird> hi what's the easiest way to get all outgoing TCP to route out a specific interface, but leave everything else how it is?
[18:34] <odder7> diffra: I have this error at boot
[18:34] <BluesKaj> ctuininga, gstreamer can be a roadblock sometimes , also make sure you have ia32-libs and w32codecs if you're on a 64 bit pc
[18:34] <xikteny> Skate[9], That was all?
[18:34] <Skate[9]> xikteny, yup :)
[18:34] <jak> @diffra odder and me seem to have same problem
[18:34] <obiwan_> hey guys i  got like 2k lines with a dcc bounceattack.txt 95 mb from many different nicks, anybody knows what the heck that is?
[18:34] <Colonel_Panik> knoxville_, depends on your window manager, some work like that mwvm does ha
[18:35] <shahzad_> is there anybody who could help me to display youtube videos on firefox
[18:35] <xikteny> Skate[9], Hmmm. Well, glad you figured it out. Sorry, I didn't have any real suggestions. :)
[18:35] <knoxville_> Colonel_Panik: I did not get it! :)
[18:35] <ctuininga> BluesKaj, I have ia32-libs installed, but w32codecs isn't in any of my repositories?
[18:35] <Skate[9]> xikteny, thats cool, im just glad its fixed
[18:35] <Byte> shahzad_ What is the problem ?
[18:36] <DrS> hi can any help ?
[18:36] <jak> @diffra fsck also sais that drive is "clean"
[18:36] <arand> livingdaylight_: that should work (the "full" version), then you should be able to manipulate 7zip archives using the normal archive manager (file-roller)
[18:36] <Strogg> Question question.  Does grub2 support booting from loop devices?
[18:36] <ctuininga> BluesKaj, The apt line is: deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ karmic free non-free
[18:36] <shahzad_> byte: i unable to view more of the videos on firefox
[18:37] <Colonel_Panik> knoxville_, I haven't even tried  those old simple managers in a long time they were fast and low on memory usage but they had to be for the hardware the were made for
[18:37] <Byte> Shahzad_ What exacty happens when you try to start a video ?
[18:37] <dajhorn> Strogg: Probably not.  Why do you want to do this?
[18:37] <BluesKaj> ctuininga, yeah , i guess there's something wrong
[18:37] <shahzad_> Byte: i unable to watch more of the videos on my firefox. for example on youtube no video is being run
[18:37] <Strogg> dajhorn: it's a wubi ubuntu thing.. it seems it upgraded to grub2... hrmmm
[18:37] <knoxville_> Do anyone know how to remove window borders?
[18:37] <Strogg> or rather.. my boss updated it to grub2 without realizing, I guess
[18:37] <ctuininga> BluesKaj, With the medibuntu repo you mean?
[18:38] <U-b-u-n-t-u> where do I put the flash.so file for firefox?
[18:38] <Byte> shahzad_ Does it load at all, or does it only show a link asking you to download Flash Player ?
[18:38] <Strogg> dajhorn: how difficult is it to downgrade to grub legacy?
[18:38] <dajhorn> Strogg: You'll probably need to go through the motions of doing a wubi repair.
[18:38] <dajhorn> Strogg: No harder than any other boot loader reinstallation.
[18:38] <Strogg> dajhorn: Ok.. I'll look for info on that.  thanks
[18:38] <jedi06> is there any software for optimizing website tools for search engines rankings.
[18:38] <shahzad_> Byte: when i click on a video link on youtube, just a black screen is comes out on the area of video
[18:39] <Byte> Shahzad Try getting new flash-player addon for Firefox. Make sure it is the right one for your operating system.
[18:39] <BluesKaj> ctuininga, no , your setup needs a fix but unfortunately I don't know what it could be , sorry .
[18:40] <Colonel_Panik> knoxville_, I have done it accidentally by killing the window decorator
[18:40] <shahzad_> Byte: i have tried it again n again. tell me any link which could be best for it
[18:40] <ctuininga> BluesKaj, Wow - this is a fresh install, from today.  :/
[18:40] <arand> U-b-u-n-t-u: ~/.mozilla/plugins/
[18:41] <U-b-u-n-t-u> arand, and thats all I need to do to install flash?
[18:41] <NaN> Ok guys, I have a small problem, the ofed package falsely depends on the mpitests package, which depends on openmpi1
[18:41] <NaN> I'm trying to install ofed without installing openmpi1, since I've compliled my own openmpi
[18:41] <Colonel_Panik> knoxville_, like switching from GTK2 to metacity and not having metacity installed, duh
[18:42] <NaN> Any suggestions how to install a package without installing it's dependencies?
[18:42] <NaN> i.e. I'd like to just install mpitests
[18:42] <xikteny> NaN, look into pachage 'equivs'
[18:42] <LjL> NaN: doesn't the fact it has dependencies mean those are required to run it?
[18:42] <arand> U-b-u-n-t-u: put the libflashplayer.so file in that dir, make sure other flash is uninstalled properly, and it should work after restarting firefox.
[18:42] <NaN> LjL: it's a mistake
[18:42] <NaN> ofed doesn't really need mpi
[18:43] <NaN> mpi needs ofed
[18:43] <U-b-u-n-t-u> arand, how do I uninstall the others?
[18:43] <Colonel_Panik> NaN try man apt-get and look at the various flags like force etc.
[18:43] <Byte> Shahzad_ http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/  - On the lower half of the page there is a rolldown menu, push it and choose .deb for Ubuntu 8.04+
[18:43] <LjL> NaN: equivs should do the trick
[18:43] <xikteny> NaN, yes, equivs is what you need.
[18:44] <arand> U-b-u-n-t-u: start synaptic, search for " flash ", make sure none of the results are installed
[18:44] <U-b-u-n-t-u> ok
[18:44] <NaN> ok
[18:44] <livingdaylight_> does anyone else find that on bootup you hear the drumroll before actually arriving at your login page?
[18:44] <Skate[9]> or dpkg-query -l | grep flash
[18:44] <Colonel_Panik> NaN,  remember something like --no-depends but my recall mode sucks
[18:44] <NaN> Colonel_Panik: that's for rpm
[18:44] <odder7> I am encoutering a problem like this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1304727 but modyfing the splash line doesn't help, any ideas what to do?
[18:45] <Colonel_Panik> NaN see, I told you my recall sucks you were warned ha
[18:45] <NaN> :)
[18:45] <NaN> Thanks guys, equivs looks right
[18:45] <laz__> Sorry guys, noob question, I'm sure it's an easy fix: terminal's not liking my password for sudo, and I cant get my flash drive to mount.  all i want to do is mount an iso thats on my flash drive :'( been a few years since i messed with tux so I'm kinda rusty
[18:46] <dajhorn> odder7:  Remove both the 'splash' and 'quiet' lines from the kernel boot line when you do that test.
[18:47] <pepee> hi
[18:48] <pepee> sensors command is not showing fan rpm's, voltages
[18:48] <pepee> but it was doing it in jaunty
[18:48] <_talon> in ubuntu 9.10 i only see postscript (.ps) as a print to file option in OO.org. How can I get it to list pdf as an option?
[18:49] <_talon> note: i don't want to use the native OO.org export to pdf
[18:49] <llutz> _talon: install cups-pdf
[18:49] <_talon> llutz: thanks
[18:49] <laz__> No one?  I'm sure it's an easy fix, i just need some direction.  Xubuntu Karmaic.  auth fail for su with my pass.  Am i missing something?
[18:49] <_talon> llutz: this should be in by default
[18:49] <koskoz> hi everyone, I've got a problem with the latest version, 9.10, I can't get my Alt Gr key working
[18:49] <llutz> laz__: use sudo
[18:49] <laz__> i did
[18:50] <greezmunkey> laz__, try sudo
[18:50] <odder7> dajhorn: it seems to log me in to recovery mode, as I see (initramfs) at the beginning of my prompt
[18:50] <frost__> wow pretty cool. first time using irssi
[18:50] <laz__> I've tried sudo no go
[18:50] <laz__> my flash drive is no longer mounting also
[18:50] <laz__> this is a fresh install, not more than 6 hours old
[18:51] <llutz> laz__: check that you are member of group "adm"
[18:51] <RRockon> Hi, when I insert a CDROM ubuntu doesn't mount it. I wasn't able to install from a CD either, maybe they're related?
[18:51] <Strogg> Does anyone have a grub config file for wubi I can steal?
[18:51] <laz__> you try a diff drive?
[18:51] <RRockon> it works fine in Windows btw
[18:52] <Strogg> I've got grub-legacy installed now.. I just need to configure it to work with wubi
[18:52] <Colonel_Panik> laz__, your problem is catch 22 you have to sudo to fix sudo. check ubuntu web site for lost password help. It involves booting a live cd and removing the password in /etc/password or shadow or something
[18:52] <tomicide> hello
[18:52] <dajhorn> odder7:  If you start the regular kernel line without 'splash' or 'quiet', then you could get a hint whether you've got a kernel problem or an X11 problem.  If you're comfortable doing so, then ask the recovery menu to reconfigure X11, which will overwrite the configuration that works with the old kernel.
[18:53] <homoboy> hello
[18:53] <adi1> hi all. after a forced shutdown of windows xp i cant boot again in xp and from ubuntu i cant access the ntfs partition...
[18:53] <erUSUL> Colonel_Panik: laz__ is much easier then that. simply boot into recovery mode (in grub) drop to a root shell and run « passwd your_user »
[18:53] <adi1> anyone can help?
[18:53] <joljam>  /join #opengl
[18:53] <adi1> my laptopis on dual boot xp ubuntu
[18:53] <erUSUL> adi1: that's a windows problem ask in ##windows
[18:53] <laz__> colonel_panik: really?  how when this is a brand new install?
[18:54] <adi1> nope
[18:54] <piotr__> does grub start?
[18:54] <joljam> /join #opengl

[18:54] <adi1> grub starts ok
[18:54] <skpl> can someone tell me why my right click doe4s not work in ubuntu 9.10?
[18:54] <laz__> erUSUL: will do brb to bring results ty
[18:54] <odder7> dajhorn: as far as I see, there is a limited number of commands there -- it is a BusyBox built-in shell (ash)
[18:54] <Colonel_Panik> laz__, try what erUSUL says :)
[18:55] <piotr__> right click works fine on my eee 1000h
[18:55] <odder7> dajhorn: anyway, I have nothing to lose so would you mind telling me how to do this?
[18:55] <erUSUL> adi1: not a grub nor ubunt issue your ntfs is messed up doe to the forced shtdown. you have to run checkdisk on the ntfs partition ask in ##windows for help
[18:55] <homoboy> I recently installed roller coaster tycoon 3 through wine, and it is now saying that I do not have the minimum system requirements to run the program, when this computer has a 512mb graphics card and 3.0 ghz dual core processor. Any suggestions?
[18:55] <piotr__> if you can not see the xp partition - check the fstab and mtab
[18:55] <tomicide> how sad am I, I haven't booted into my xp portion in 5 months
[18:55] <_talon> llutz: it doesn't work
[18:55] <adi1> what to do in fstab

[18:57] <jak> Ubuntuu boot now hangs while "*Checking battery state..." whats wrong??
[18:58] <amy_> hello
[18:58] <erUSUL> !hi
[18:58] <amy_> can anyone tell me how i can retrieve my username and password please?
[18:58] <jak> Ubuntuu boot now hangs while "*Checking battery state..." whats wrong??
[18:59] <adi1> so anyone can guide me through a ntfs gone bad recovery... thanks
[18:59] <dajhorn> odder7: If you're running Karmic, then you should get a recovery menu when choose the (recovery) option at boot time.
[18:59] <Warwick> i agree eulalia
[18:59] <amy_> i want to retrieve my username and password
[18:59] <amy_> does anyone know how to retrieve it
[18:59] <amy_> I have lost my username and password
[18:59] <erUSUL> amy_: boot into recovery mode (in grub ) drop to a root shell. The name of the folder under /home/ is your username. then reset password doing « passwd your_username »
[19:00] <frost__> does anyone know the channel for crunchbang?
[19:00] <knoxville_> How can I make xchat tranquility
[19:00] <amy_> is there any other way
[19:00] <erUSUL> knoxville_: right click on the channle name
[19:00] <dajhorn> odder7: If you are actually getting a busybox shell in Karmic, then the initrd file (or something in the initrd) is not being loaded properly.
[19:00] <erUSUL> amy_: that's the easiest imho
[19:01] <dajhorn> odder7: I'm going for lunch.  Hopefully somebody else can pick up.
[19:01] <dcorking_> does ubuntu have xorgcfg or another tool to configure X ?  (the auto configuration is not adequate for my old 3D card)
[19:01] <epinky> amy_: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-recover-password-under-ubuntu.html#more-267
[19:01] <rocknroll00> Hi! I am installing ubuntu in dual boot with windows XP. I have XP already installed on a first SATA HD (HD1). I want to install ubuntu on a second SATA HD (HD2). Will this work if I just install grub on HD2 and invert the boot sequence to boot on HD2 first? will grub detect wwindows on HD1? and most importantly, will windows be safe (so I can revert if it goes wrong)?
[19:01] <NaN> Ok guys equivs did the trick
[19:01] <NaN> Thanks
[19:01] <amy_> can i setup another username then
[19:01] <xikteny> _talon, Did you get PDF printing working yet?
[19:01] <amy_> and a password
[19:02] <rocknroll00> (sorry if my message was repeated, but the IRC freezed)
[19:02]  * NaN thanks xikteny
[19:02] <amy_> can i setup a username and password please
[19:02] <xikteny> NaN, NP :)
[19:02] <erUSUL> amy_: for doing that you wil have to do what i say (drop to a root shell)
[19:03] <Byte> amy_ go ahead.
[19:03] <erUSUL> amy_: so once you are there why not recover the one you already have
[19:03] <amy_> i don't know how to do that
[19:03] <harushimo> a quick networking question
[19:03] <harushimo> what does route command -n mean
[19:03] <amy_> erUSUL: I don't know how to g to rootshell
[19:04] <erUSUL> amy_: When the computer boots you are shown a menu where you can choose what OS to boot
[19:04] <harushimo> I look at the man pages, it says something about determine symbolic host names(I don't understand)
[19:04] <amy_> erUSUL: I don't have the dual boot if that is what u mean
[19:04] <erUSUL> amy_: in the list there are items with "(recovery mode)" at the end. choose one of them (with cursor keys) and press enter
[19:04] <sparr> How can I recreate /etc/X11/xorg.conf when 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' does nothing?
[19:05] <erUSUL> amy_: if you do not have dual boot press scape key while booting. the menu should show up
[19:05] <erUSUL> amy_: again ---> in the list there are items with "(recovery mode)" at the end. choose one of them (with cursor keys) and press enter
[19:06] <erUSUL> amy_: you then will be presented with another menu. one item is "drop to a root shell" or something like that
[19:06] <amy_> i might not be able to recover it anymore as i have changed my hard drive
[19:07] <amy_> I have just checked it with my father
[19:07] <erUSUL> amy_: choose that. in the promt type this « ls /home/ » it should return a list of usernames (home folders)
[19:07] <errr-or> hi, any ppl in here knowing some stuff about APC UPS? I wanna know the best way to use 1x ubuntu and 1x win xp on the same ups. powerchute is installed on the xp box. linux version only as rpm and i386. i already alienated the rpm and installed a i386 chroot for running this single app. i have ax86_64 server. smart-ups 750l connected via rs232 connection
[19:07] <Dougal> does anyone know of a cross-platform protocol that'll send webcam during an IM session? I want to view on a linux box my friend's webcam, he runs windows. (And usually chats through yahoo, although i'm sure he'd consider switching). Anyone know a service that could help?
[19:07] <Dougal> If there's a more relevant chat room, then I apologise, and could someone please poiint meat it?
[19:07] <amy_> when installed a new hard drive
[19:07] <erUSUL> amy_: finally once you know the username run « passwd username » you wil be asked for a new password twice
[19:08] <errr-or> Dougal doesnt pidgin fit your needs?
[19:08] <erUSUL> Dougal: skype  ? msn (with amsn in linux) ?
[19:08] <Colonel_Panik> sparr, I have done things like boot the live cd and copy that xorg.conf to your real system. just a thought
[19:09] <odder7> it is the fourth time I am asking here for help -- anybody willing to give me a hand?
[19:09] <erUSUL> !ask
[19:09] <errr-or> dougal: sorry doesnt support webcam for yahoo...
[19:10] <odder7> and please, dont treat me as a noob with those ubottu commands
[19:10] <Dr_Willis> odder7:  then state the actual question..
[19:10] <Byte> odder7 *gives hand* Fine. Now I'll only have one.
[19:10] <errr-or> dougal: if he's willing to switch listen to erUSUL ;)
[19:10] <odder7> I have encountered today a problem with booting to my 64-bit Ubuntu -- after I see the logo I can see a black screen only
[19:10] <dcorking_> odder7 - I don't know what your question is, but if you already asked 4 times, I am willing to bet that no-one knows the answer :(
[19:11] <epinky> :)
[19:11] <Dougal> errr-or: didn't know pidgen could do that, but i'm not sure what you mean about listen and erUSUL, never heard of those
[19:11] <errr-or> odder7: did you any tuning on your video settings?
[19:11] <Dr_Willis> odder7:  in the past black screens have been caused by, compiz issues. or driver issues..   But thats about all i know on the topic. Do you or do you not see a GDM login screen?
[19:11] <odder7> I can't get to prompt or anything and if I remove "quiet" and "splash" from my grub boot options, I get to a BusyBox prompt
[19:12] <errr-or> odder7 what to boot with recovery kernel?
[19:12] <erUSUL> Dougal: pidgin does not support cam
[19:12] <Dr_Willis> odder7:  so alt-ctrl-f1 through F$ also dont give a console ??
