[16:04] <dr0id> ok, there are tohers too ?
[16:04] <dr0id> just trying to understand the diff between binaries and source :)
[16:04] <dr0id> i thnk i get it now, source when gets compiled is binary ;)
[16:04] <nopf> jmil_: oh, partly fine :) ... you can finetune mplayer in many ways ... have fun, if you've enough time for that :~]
[16:04] <nonao> hi may i know why there are hidden file with ~? what is their purpose?
[16:05] <Crash1hd> Hey everyone does anyone know how I could move all the .svn folders in directory a into directory b when / if directory a has subdirectorys that also have .svn folders?
[16:05] <nopf> jmil_: first thing to check is the differente video output devices/option, like -vo ...
[16:05] <gnosis> yes, source is available for people to want to compile their own version, while binaries are pre-compiled
[16:05] <AnthraxSSH> how can i see how much memory i am using?
[16:05] <AnthraxSSH> in a server?
[16:05] <ruan> AnthraxSSH: type 'free'
[16:05] <AnthraxSSH> i want to see what apps are using the most memory
[16:06] <ruan> AnthraxSSH: then 'top'
[16:06] <AnthraxSSH> like top, sort by mem usage?
[16:06] <coz_> AnthraxSSH,  open terminal  free -m
[16:06] <jpds> AnthraxSSH: sudo apt-get install htop; htop
[16:06] <zmbi> crash1hd: copy past?
[16:06] <marco_p85> ruan: reinstalling
[16:06] <edbian> AnthraxSSH: free -m  might be easy to read
[16:06] <ruan> AnthraxSSH: top/htop
[16:06] <Crash1hd> zmbi, ???
[16:07] <marco_p85> ruan: do I need to reinstall some libraries?
[16:07] <zmbi> crash1hd: you want it with the commandline or in a qui
[16:07] <zmbi> ?
[16:07] <Crash1hd> zmbi, commandline
[16:07] <nothingspecial> Crash1hd: If I understand you, find with the -maxdepth option
[16:08] <ruan> marco_p85: it will auto-reinstall dependancies
[16:08] <zmbi> crash1hd: litle bash script, think off foreach
[16:08] <ruan> marco_p85: if you didn't remove the installation packages, it wont redownload them
[16:08] <Crash1hd> nothingspecial, so something like mv a b | find .svn --maxdepth
[16:09] <marco_p85> ruan: I installed it, but it created no icons (from Ubuntu software center). if i run qmmp from temrinal, it goes error
[16:09] <tim167> hi, i want to an 'insmod' command to be executed at startup, how do i do that?
[16:09] <zmbi> crash1hd: to move a file you use mv
[16:09] <nonao> hi may i know why there are hidden file with ~? what is their purpose?
[16:09] <zmbi> for a folder mv --r
[16:09] <ruan> marco_p85: again, whereis qmmp
[16:09] <ruan> marco_p85: and sudo apt-get check
[16:09] <marco_p85> ruan: marco@casa:~$ whereis qmmp
[16:09] <marco_p85> qmmp: /usr/bin/qmmp /usr/lib/qmmp /usr/share/qmmp /usr/share/man/man1/qmmp.1.gz
[16:10] <Mabus> anyone here running 11.04 on VMware workstation 7?
[16:10] <nothingspecial> Crash1hd No, If you don't want to descend into subdirectories you use maxdepth, maybe I don't understand your issue
[16:10] <edbian> nonao: They are temporary files saved my text editors.  In the even the program crashes or you need a backup the ~file.txt is there for ya
[16:10] <ruan> marco_p85: ok, check if libqt4-script is installed
[16:10] <ruan> !info libqt4-script
[16:10] <marco_p85> ruan: it goes error after the "check"
[16:10] <jrib> Crash1hd: you should probably tell us what you want to accomplish.  You seem to want to do something "strange"
[16:10] <nonao> edbian oo can I disable them?
[16:10] <ruan> marco_p85: sudo apt-get install libqt4-script
[16:10] <marco_p85> ruan: yeah doing it
[16:11] <Crash1hd> nothingspecial jrib, the issue is simpe the solution probably is too, basically I have 2 folders say a and b in a I have a subfolder c and in a and c I have folders .svn that I want to move to b which also has subfolder c
[16:11] <edbian> nonao: Yes.  In every text editor you can turn them off but you have to config it in each text editor separately
[16:11] <marco_p85> ruan: Visual: The file '/home/marco/examples.desktop' is not a valid Qt plugin.

[16:11] <marco_p85> qmmp: symbol lookup error: qmmp: undefined symbol: _ZN9SoundCore5setEQEPdd
[16:11] <tim167> how do i 'insmod' at startup ?
[16:11] <jrib> Crash1hd: can you fix the grammar, it's confusing
[16:12] <ruan> marco_p85: sudo apt-get install libqt4-core
[16:12] <edbian> tim167: You write a script that does insmod (you should use modprobe) and then you tell the system to run the script at startup using the update-rc.d program/package
[16:12] <aeon-ltd> tim167: is insmod is a terminal command make a script that has 'insmod &' then add that script to startup items
[16:12] <agrab> Webgl runs with fglrx, but not with the radeon driver, does anyone know of any incompatibility between webgl and radeon driver?
[16:12] <aeon-ltd> edbian: damn beaten again... :(
[16:12] <nothingspecial> find a -type d -name ".svn" -exec mv '{}' b \;
[16:12] <nothingspecial> Crash1hd: ^^
[16:12] <tim167> aeon-ltd: the thing is that it needs sudo
[16:12] <nothingspecial> Crash1hd: If I get you right
[16:12] <edbian> aeon-ltd: haha, sorry!
[16:13] <Alvo> hello, with kde from kubuntu-desktop 1.205 i cannot connect to the wlan, with gnome it works, caqn i fix the problem somehow?
[16:13] <LXCC-Vincenzo> hi all , anyone can help me to fix this problem with alsa ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/588642/
[16:13] <Crash1hd> jrib, basically I have 2 folders say folderA and folderB in folderA I have a subfolder folderC and in folderA and folderC I have folders .svn that I want to move to folderB which also has subfolder folderC
[16:13] <ruan> Alvo: have you tried wicd?
[16:13] <Crash1hd> nothingspecial, thanks :)
[16:13] <aeon-ltd> tim167: either add it to sudoers or changes its executable permissions
[16:13] <ruan> !info wicd
[16:13]  * jrib sighs
[16:13] <tim167> i added the module *.ko to /etc/modules, but it doesn't get loaded...

[16:13] <WeThePeople> how do i put a  icon in the Apps. menu. i installed linphone but there is not a program icon for it
[16:13] <ruan> marco_p85: odd...
[16:14] <zulax> when i type, it inserts random characters
[16:14] <zulax> like numbers, ctrl+p
[16:14] <ruan> WeThePeople: use system > preferences > main menu
[16:14] <marco_p85> ruan: http://paste.ubuntu.com/588646/
[16:14] <jmil_> nopf: the sound just suddenly started working properly. I'm pretty convinced I did nothing
[16:15] <jmil_> nopf: thanks for the help, though
[16:15] <ruan> marco_p85: is that the error upon running qmmp?
[16:15] <agrab> can anyone run webgl with the radeon driver?
[16:15] <noob> Can somebody help me with something?
[16:15] <Crash1hd> nothingspecial, basically what is happening is I have wordpress installed in a folder that is subversioned and in wordpress there is a plugin folder that when you update the plugin it deletes the folder that contains the plugin and rebuilds it sadly this deletes the .svn folders inside it which inturn causes my error
[16:15] <nopf> jmil_: yeah, write that down in detail, so you can repeat that steps when it happens again :)
[16:15] <zmbi> crash1hd: look at this http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/loops1.html  example 11-4
[16:15] <edbian> noob: Just ask your question please.    Not ask.
[16:17] <zulax> my keyboard inserts random letters!
[16:17] <kemykatze> my sound stopped working after i ran the update manager
[16:17] <Crash1hd> jrib, basically what is happening is I have wordpress installed in a folder that is subversioned and in wordpress there is a plugin folder that when you update the plugin it deletes the folder that contains the plugin and rebuilds it sadly this deletes the .svn folders inside it which inturn causes my error
[16:17] <m4tt3y> hello all.
[16:17] <marco_p85> ruan: yes, after typing qmmp
[16:17] <jrib> Crash1hd: you need to copy two directories, just copy each one to where it needs to go
[16:18] <ruan> marco_p85: try aptitude, sudo apt-get install aptitude && sudo aptitude reinstall qmmp
[16:18] <marco_p85> ruan: I forgot to copy it all. Here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/588647/
[16:18] <m4tt3y> Is anyone willing to provide me a snapshot of their home directory "ls -la"? I had the misfortune of an fsck.ext3 lost+found renaming.
[16:18] <noob_> When I move my trackpad or press the mouse buttons attached, My computer goes to the login screen
[16:18] <Crash1hd> jrib, ok but there must be an easier way then manually going into every directory as its not like there is only 2 or 3 directorys there can be up to 20+
[16:18] <dr0id> theres a command that can search the man pages for a particular word, wut is it ?
[16:18] <marco_p85> ruan: doing
[16:19] <salihk> guys, i recently installed and removed kubuntu desktop on ubuntu 10.10, but when i start and shut down my computer i always get kubuntu loading and when i log out from ubuntu still there is an option to switch desktop to kubuntu how can i remove entirely
[16:19] <jrib> Crash1hd: you can use find (but you must modify what was told to you earlier)
[16:19] <ruan> salihk: sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop
[16:19] <ruan> salihk: btw, it will always show up regardless of if it's installed or not
[16:20] <jrib> Crash1hd: in reality, you should fix the plugin
[16:20] <ruan> salihk: it seems at least
[16:20] <jrib> to not do stupid things
[16:20] <noob_> When I move my trackpad or press the mouse buttons attached, My computer goes to the login screen, can somebody help me?
[16:20] <nothingspecial> Crash1hd: I don't think I get you right. Be careful with find.
[16:20] <Crash1hd> jrib, I dont make the plugin others do and have no control over how they choose to update them
[16:20] <zulax> is it709 somekinad virus or is my laptop keyboard breaking3??
[16:20] <salihk> omg :S
[16:20] <Crash1hd> nothingspecial, yeah I never run anything blind
[16:20] <dr0id> theres a command that can search the man pages for a particular word, wut is it ?
[16:20] <dr0id> just cant remember
[16:20] <dr0id> :/
[16:20] <ruan> zulax: there aren't viruses for linux
[16:20] <Crash1hd> nothingspecial, ever work with svn?
[16:20] <ruan> dr0id: grep? im not sure either
[16:20] <dr0id> ruan: i have heard there are :/
[16:21] <edbian> noob_: Can you press ctrl + alt + F1 and go to a terminal and log in there?
[16:21] <zulax> ruan how can i diag7nose my keyboard then?
[16:21] <marco_p85> ruan: still http://paste.ubuntu.com/588648/
[16:21] <jrib> Crash1hd: it's a wordpress plug-in.  It likely has some sort of free software license, I'm sure other people encounter the problem, the author may not even be aware of the issue, and I'm sure he'd welcome a patch
[16:21] <dr0id> ohh sorry, its apropos/man -k :P
[16:21] <nothingspecial> Crash1hd: Only for using stuff
[16:21] <Crash1hd> nothingspecial, ok
[16:21] <BlueBomber7> dr0id: There are not. Especially if you compare the amount of malware "for" Linux vs. that for Windows.
[16:21] <mindmaster> noob: you been playing WoW or something before you loaded linux with a fancy gaming mouse and have the key programmed to a game command?
[16:22] <petsounds> salihk, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureGnome check em
[16:22] <Crash1hd> jrib, yes I understand but it seems to be common practice with all wordpress plugins (and I am not going to spend my time tracking each of them down to tell them they dont need to delete the old when updating) I am sure I am not the only person with this issue just the only one that doesnt have a simple solution
[16:23] <jrib> Crash1hd: I told you, use find
[16:23] <jrib> Crash1hd: or ask the subversion folks if there's a nicer way
[16:23] <edbian> The only viruses are proof of concept.  There are none surviving 'in the wild'  Keep in mind that viruses different than security vulnerabilities or exploits.
[16:23] <Crash1hd> jrib, I have no one is arround which is why I am in here as well
[16:24] <Crash1hd> jrib, I have also asked in wordpress on the off chance that someone knows / has had the same problem
[16:24] <mindmaster> most successful viruses require a chain of infectable hosts... with linux there generally is no chain, and as long as you run every priveledged command with sudo it's impossible to elevate your rights to the point where you would have a problem
[16:24] <Crash1hd> jrib, mostly I just have to wait longer
[16:25] <jrib> Crash1hd: well I don't know much about wordpress
[16:25] <mynamedave> QUESTION: hi everyone! is it possible to have Evolution mail check for mail immediately after opening up Evolution?
[16:25] <nothingspecial> Crash1hd: or ask the subversion folks if there's a nicer way
[16:25] <Crash1hd> jrib, no problem
[16:25] <ruan> i use thunderbird
[16:25] <Crash1hd> nothingspecial, I have no one is arround just have to wait
[16:25] <mindmaster> mynamedave: it's possible to click the send/receive button any time you would like to. :P
[16:25] <jrib> Crash1hd: do you understand what you would do with find?
[16:25] <kubanc> how do i change icon for lock screen in gnome menu?
[16:25] <Crash1hd> jrib, yes
[16:25] <jrib> Crash1hd: ok
[16:25] <jrib> Crash1hd: that's your easy solution...
[16:26] <WeThePeople> linphone opens, but then closes, why
[16:26] <Crash1hd> jrib, I was hoping that svn would have a way to just rebuild the folder
[16:26] <thevishy> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_malware do they scan linux virus ? How good are they ?
[16:26] <mynamedave> im setting up an Ubuntu system for a 82 year old guy who used to use Outlook. I dont know what he did there, but he says he has no mail in Evolution and forgets to click SEND/RECEIVE button
[16:26] <WeThePeople> i used sudo apt-get
[16:26] <mynamedave> after he clicks SEND/RECEIVE he surely gets his mail :)
[16:27] <scarleo> mynamedave, you can choose that in account settings
[16:27] <ruan> thevishy: linux viruses just dont work
[16:27] <thevishy> ruan, why so ?
[16:27] <thevishy> am curious
[16:27] <mynamedave> alternatively I could probably tell Evolution to check mail every minute, but that would be overkill for him./
[16:27] <ruan> thevishy: first, the average intelligence of a linux user is high
[16:27] <thevishy> yes
[16:27] <mindmaster> mynamedave: the default configuration has it checking every 10 minutes, so he can click and wait.. or you can go into the mail account settings and adjust the time. Do not set it for quicker than 5min anyway.. many mail providers will temp ban you from checking mail if you do
[16:28] <ruan> thevishy: second, the executable bit prevents anything from opening apps without permission
[16:28] <ruan> thevishy: third, they need your root password to do any real harm
[16:28] <thevishy> I see
[16:29] <thevishy> thanks
[16:29] <ruan> thevishy: then fourth, the linux userbase is low
[16:29] <ruan> thevishy: they aren't a big target
[16:29] <marco_p85> ruan: any ideas?
[16:29] <thevishy> Yeah but I am talking about the userbase incereaseng aspect
[16:30] <mindmaster> ruan: honestly, I'm not sure it's low.. I just don't think anyone is counting. Linux on the desktop is low, but I've worked with it a lot on servers and high demand apps. :)
[16:30] <ruan> servers use linux commonly yeah
[16:30] <ruan> because of its secure nature
[16:30] <mindmaster> problem you have with Linux is there are 3000+ flavors and no one is sharing the count data
[16:30] <edbian> thevishy: Even if the userbase increases it forms a weak argument for linux becoming insecure.  There are still 3 other reasons that it is secure.  The userbase argument is actually the weakest
[16:30] <jrib> Crash1hd: my advice is you see how other wordpress user's handle this.  This really is an issue with what the plug-ins are doing imo
[16:31] <thevishy> Yes I agree basically thanks
[16:31] <lasha> hi guys, I have question about backuping 10.10, I want to try out 11.04 but I want to backup whole system settings twicks and personalized information before doing so. Anyone knows how to do a backup similar to win7 backup like saving whole system image or is there anything better to use ?
[16:31] <ruan> the userbase argument is mac's largest argument, lol
[16:31] <Crash1hd> jrib, I agree
[16:31] <Rister> Hello all.  I don't frequent IRC that much but I have a question about busybox and initramfs.
[16:31] <edbian> ruan: mac also has unix style permissions
[16:31] <Laurenceb> hi, is there a way to click to close notification icons?
[16:31] <thevishy> mac is basically like a Unix if I am not mistaken
[16:31] <Laurenceb> or whatever they are called
[16:32] <mindmaster> I do better.. I run macubuntu lolz..
[16:32] <thevishy> it has its features from Unix basically
[16:32] <ruan> not completely
[16:32] <m4tt3y> It's BSD
[16:32] <edbian> Rister: I'm guessing since you're in busy box at all that Ubuntu won't boot.  Press shift during boot time to get the grub menu to show up.  Try to boot recovery mode.
[16:32] <edbian> thevishy: As much as linux is unix yes.
[16:32] <ruan> i havent heard of the executable bit on linux, and permissions
[16:32] <thevishy> Yes bit like that
[16:32] <ruan> i mean, mac
[16:32] <m4tt3y> Darwin, which is the Mac OS system, is a BSD derivative.
[16:32] <Rister> yeah, the odd part is I tried booting to a different linux based OS from a thumb drive and it hung on loading the kernel
[16:33] <edbian> ruan: You haven't heard of permissions on linux?  They're there.
[16:33] <ruan> edbian: i meant mac
[16:33] <ruan> edbian: i didnt think when i typed that
[16:33] <edbian> ruan: Oh, yeah they have permissions just like Linux.  You're just usually not bothered with them
[16:33] <kemykatze> I just installed ubuntu for the first time today, and everything worked, after i ran the update manager and installed everything from there the sound stopped working, can anyone help me with that?
[16:33] <jesse_> is anyone here very proficient with xorg.conf that can help me set it up???
[16:33] <mindmaster> mac is much more pay to play.. it may have some commonality at the core, but most of the stuff you get for free on linux still costs money on mac
[16:33] <ruan> yep
[16:33] <ruan> and mac is more closed source than linux
[16:33] <edbian> Rister: You probably have some faulty hardware.  Try booting with different things removed.  (e.g. hdd, ram sticks, etc)
[16:33] <marco_p85> ruan: nothing like  a sort of windows automatic backup, I mean... going back to yesterday?
[16:34] <ruan> marco_p85: not really
[16:34] <thevishy> Mac has its GUI features top class , for the money you pay and its basically like a UNix system ...so it has its pluses
[16:34] <lasha> ruan: you cant compare mac and linux, mac is as closed as it can get, there is no more sadistic proprietary OS in the world than mac
[16:34] <mindmaster> rister: are you using any type of raid?
[16:34] <lament> i just switched from mac back to linux
[16:34] <ruan> true
[16:34] <lament> mostly because of the app store and because xcode is no longer free
[16:35] <ruan> they are like opposites
[16:35] <spetrea[hireme]> ops of #ubuntu dfge is spamming ---> http://pastebin.com/X6uZ25NF
[16:35] <thevishy> Mac basically is a narrow hardware OS ... as in , its not mean for non mac machines
[16:35] <spetrea[hireme]> please correct this
[16:35] <Rister> mindmaster: no. It's an earlier Acer Aspire One
[16:35] <edbian> lament: You switched because of a new feature?  You must really hate the app store
[16:35] <lasha> hi guys, I have question about backuping 10.10, I want to try out 11.04 but I want to backup whole system settings twicks and personalized information before doing so. Anyone knows how to do a backup similar to win7 backup like saving whole system image or is there anything better to use ?
[16:35] <jesse_> can anyone here help me set up my xorg.conf file for dual monitors?
[16:35] <lament> edbian: i'm worried about the direction they're taking.
[16:35] <marco_p85> ruan: ok then stuck?
[16:35] <mindmaster> rister: seen that problem when I screwed up installing my raid drivers before..
[16:36] <marco_p85> ruan: any other similar player, like Winamp?
[16:36] <edbian> lament: Ahh, controlling the apps that run as well as EVERYthing else about their platform.
[16:36] <ruan> marco_p85: what features are you looking for?
[16:36] <lament> edbian: "everything else" bothers me much less than the apps
[16:36] <edbian> I don't think MAC and linux are that different.  They're both unix based OS's.  They have some difference but they're not opposites
[16:36] <Hedgehog456> When will Firefox 4 be added to the Ubuntu repository?
[16:36] <Rister> mindmaster: I jut rebooted into recovery mode and it found a bunch of errors in the filesystem. :P
[16:36] <Hedgehog456> !info firefox
[16:36] <ruan> Hedgehog456: in natty i believe
[16:36] <Hedgehog456> !info natty
[16:36] <edbian> Hedgehog456: There is a PPA if you don't want to wait.
[16:37] <Hedgehog456> !natty
[16:37] <Hedgehog456> ok, thanks ruan
[16:37] <lasha> edbian: by opposite people meant the direction, corporation vs open source thats what talk is about
[16:37] <jesse_> is there an easy way to update to firefox 4?
[16:37] <Hedgehog456> edbian: what's a PPA?
[16:37] <ruan> !ff4
[16:37] <mindmaster> rister: dying disk possibly.. if you can boot into bios check if any SMART errors are showing..
[16:37] <ruan> !ppa
[16:37] <edbian> Hedgehog456: Basically a repo that has only one a two things in it.  (in this case firefox4)
[16:38] <mindmaster> rister: not worth continuing if you aren't sure the disk is up to spec
[16:38] <marco_p85> ruan: quick research of songs from a playlist, sort playlist by artist
[16:38] <marco_p85> ruan: no loads of useless stuff
[16:38] <ruan> again i wish songbird was still supported
[16:39] <Rister> edbian: thanks for the tip on getting to the grub menu.  I wasn't aware of that keyboard shortcut.
[16:39] <edbian> Rister: no problem
[16:39] <nothingspecial> lasha: http://openubuntu.com/index.php/topic,671.0.html pay careful attention to the last paragraph
[16:39] <ruan> marco_p85: rhythmbox?
[16:39] <mindmaster> itunes on wine? :P
[16:39] <lasha> nothingspecial: ok thank you
[16:39] <Rister> mindmaster: I think I'll let SpinRite have a pass over the disk just to be safe.  Thanks.
[16:39] <ruan> itunes is bloated..
[16:40] <marco_p85> ruan : I'll try it out. qqmp is lost then?
[16:40] <mindmaster> yea, I wish there was a better way to update my iPhone
[16:40] <ruan> marco_p85: most probably. it doesn't want to repair qt4
[16:41] <mindmaster> I have a virtualbox win7 just to update iphone software lol
[16:41] <ubuntu> hello
[16:42] <nothingspecial> marco_p85: This is the one everybody is talking about http://guayadeque.org/forums/index.php?p=/wiki/page/home
[16:42] <mindmaster> rister: I'd def do that first there is no sense in pulling your hair out
[16:43] <gnosiss> Hey all.  I have a curious problem, looking for tips.  Running ubuntu 10 in a vm, hosted on a mac, I cannot ctrl+click to select multiple items in a list or file manager, etc.  Ctrl+click triggers the context menu, like it would on the mac.  Does anyone know of a way I can convince it to not do this?
[16:43] <ruan> never heard of guaydeque o_O
[16:43] <marco_p85> nothingspecial: looks cool. where to get it? Soft center?
[16:44] <lampe2> gnosiss, must be a vm provlem cause for me its working on an real machien ;)
[16:44] <ruan> marco_p85: yep, its in soft center
[16:44] <erUSUL> gnosiss: Preferences>Keyboard Settings ? maybge it has to do with the virtual vm software you are using... vbox ?
[16:44] <ruan> marco_p85: also, sudo apt-get install guayadeque
[16:44] <nothingspecial> No, its still alpha, use the ppa, the -svn version can be buggy because it is the dev version but has all the latest features, hang on
[16:44] <WaltzingAlong> gnosiss: because that is what the mac host is sending as a key combination?
[16:45] <lampe2> iam looking for a mediaplayer with a internet radio browser
[16:45] <marco_p85> thanks guys, I'll sue that Guayadeque
[16:45] <WaltzingAlong> lampe2: vlc?
[16:46] <gnosiss> Yeah, I also figure it has something to do with the vm and keyboard mappings.  ctrl is definitely mapped correctly, though - stuff like ctrl+c and ctrl+v work as expected (those combos don't do copy and paste on the mac)
[16:46] <Scarra3> I can't seem to get Ubuntu 10.10 to fully work with my laptop
[16:46] <gnosiss> it's vmware fusion, actually.
[16:46] <Scarra3> Its a sony vaio and my touchpad doesn't work
[16:46] <lampe2> WaltzingAlong, vlc got a radio stream browser build in?
[16:46] <nothingspecial> marco_p85: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:anonbeat/guayadeque && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install guayadeque-svn
[16:47] <m33> best encryption tool?
[16:47] <m33> encrypt a folder for instance
[16:47] <Scarra3> Anyone have a alps touchpad that doesn't work on ubuntu 10.10 and got it to work
[16:47] <ruan> !encrypt
[16:47] <WaltzingAlong> lampe2: vlc / view / playlist / internet
[16:47] <mindmaster> gnosiss: you probably have install guest vm software in the client for proper mouse behavior
[16:47] <m33> thanks
[16:48] <lampe2> WaltzingAlong, thx ;) never saw it XD
[16:48] <kaushal> Hi
[16:48] <kaushal> Are there certification courses available for ubuntu ?
[16:49] <gnosiss> mindmaster: it's installed (vmware-tools) and seems to work great except for this one little annoyance.  Not a huge deal, just thought I'd poke around for a solution.
[16:49] <szymon_g> hi
[16:49] <mindmaster> kaushal: no, but there is LPI.. google it..
[16:49] <kaushal> mindmaster: LPI199 ?
[16:50] <gnosiss> Now I'll proceed to mess with my keyboard mappings until a really break it.  I'll be back here in half an hour asking how to reset to defaults ;p
[16:50] <m33> lol
[16:50] <nothingspecial> kaushal: or duckduckgo it
[16:50] <kaushal> nothingspecial: ?
[16:50] <nothingspecial> kaushal: a better search engine ;)
[16:50] <greywalk> hi. i have a strange problem - it looks like as if firefox was loading the CPU (although not much CPU is used when i look in the system monitor) - the indicator on the case is constantly blinking and i hear a sound as if smth was permanently reading from the hard disk
[16:50] <mindmaster> heh, it's the first thing that shows up hehe
[16:50] <greywalk> when i close firefox - the bulb stops blinking and the sound quiets down // does anyone know what this might be?
[16:51] <Gorkyman> one stupid question.... i'm connecting mic to onboard audio-in and hdmi out... any way to send audio directly to hdmi output ?
[16:51] <WaltzingAlong> greywalk: more like IO, reading your bookmarks and history from the sqlite files apparently
[16:52] <greywalk> WaltzingAlong: is there any way to fix it?
[16:52] <greywalk> WaltzingAlong: is it possible that some add on causes this?
[16:53] <ruan> greywalk: how long does it take to launch>
[16:53] <greywalk> ruan: what exactly? firefox - quickly
[16:53] <ruan> greywalk: because my indicator light does 3 flashes, and then it stops
[16:54] <greywalk> ruan: mine is just constantly flashing when ff is running
[16:54] <ruan> odd
[16:54] <ruan> no flashing at all here
[16:54] <ruan> could be a malfunctioning addon perhaps
[16:54] <WaltzingAlong> greywalk: well you could sqlite vacuum those files or use an addon that does it for you.you could browse around, find something about writing your own, empty, fsync, having firefox use that instead
[16:54] <ruan> greywalk: what happens if you run firefox in safe mode?
[16:55] <szymon_g> i'm kind a new to ubuntu /i haven't used it since 2006/. i've installed 10.10 on my laptop /t61/, downloaded drivers etc. is it possible to get a menu similar to this http://img101.imageshack.us/i/screenshot1uz.png /screenshot from beta 11.04/? the standard, dash "menu" isnt working for me
[16:55] <greywalk> WaltzingAlong: i am thinking about xmarks.. maybe its because of it - i noticed xmarks were active when that sound started
[16:55] <nimrod10> greywalk, create a tmpfs partition in memory and mount /home/user/.firefox in memory
[16:56] <greywalk> ruan: not sure - going to try now
[16:56] <ruan> safe mode will not load addons, so you can identify what the cause is
[16:56] <tensorpudding> szymon_g: that's available already, it's not the new natty menu which is very different
[16:57] <nothingspecial> szymon_g: That looks like regular old gnome panel with the gnome main menu
[16:57] <szymon_g> it may be a really stupid question, but how can i change it into the "standard one"?
[16:57] <nothingspecial> szymon_g: At login
[16:57] <tensorpudding> szymon_g: you have to configure the panel and look for the gnome main menu and drag it into the panel
[16:58] <ruan> greywalk: 'firefox -safe-mode'
[16:58] <nothingspecial> szymon_g: Choose "classic ubuntu" or whatever they call it
[16:58] <ubuntu_> How to open .sqlite files? Can http://sourceforge.net/projects/sqlitebrowser/ help me open them?
[16:59] <lasha> anyone knows if 11.04 has system backup integration ?
[16:59] <WaltzingAlong> sqlite3 ubuntu_ ?
[17:00] <greywalk> ruan: yes, browsing in safe mode now - no bulb and reading the hdd so far
[17:00] <szymon_g> is it possible to have it with that unity menu on site? i'm fairly sure i had it on livecd when i've tried beta release yesterday /its not on screenshot/?
[17:00] <edouard> #lumiera
[17:00] <Cyborg-X> what about jupiter os?
[17:00] <ruan> greywalk: try to disable xmarks then
[17:00] <ubuntu_> WaltzingAlong: I've sqlite3
[17:00] <ubuntu_> !info sqlitebrowser
[17:00] <szymon_g> ok, brb
[17:00] <tensorpudding> szymon_g: you can't use unity with that menu
[17:01] <ruan> sudo apt-get install sqlitebrowser #in that case
[17:01] <greywalk> ruan: yes, ill do so. looks like because of some add-on. ill try disabling xmarks first
[17:01] <greywalk> thank you all for your help
[17:02] <szymon_g> re
[17:02] <tensorpudding> szymon_g: you can't use unity with that menu
[17:03] <szymon_g> hm... i could swear i've seen it. but, nevermind, i just want to get that menu. classic desktop menu /as chosen in gdm/ isn't the same

[17:17] <ginosal> hi everybody. please, I would like to know why my kernel is always 2.6.32-27-generic and the update manager doesn't propose me newer ones!
[17:18] <ruan> !latest
[17:18] <szymon_g> ginosal, maybe there is no newer versions in repo?

[17:20] <bowa> i tried to upgrade my ubuntu installation to 10.04 LTS … everything seemed to go fine. After the reboot i got into the Grub rescue prompt, instead of it asking for my full disk encryption password. I found this thread on the forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1072336 i downloaded the 10.04 alternate cd and used the rescue/repair function. there i can give in my disk encryption password and get into a shell on my root partition
[17:20] <administrator> ....
[17:20] <Guest99738> 这个是什么阿
[17:20] <pinnerup> Support question: The last couple of days my computer has started crashing. Suddenly the screen will go black (or white or some other colour), any music playing will stop and nothing I do makes any change at all, except rebooting the computer. I'm thinking it may be my graphics card that's gone bad. Any ideas? Any logs where I can see what happens just before the crash?
[17:20] <Guest99738> 有没有人呢？
[17:20] <ginosal> szymon_g, no, there are newer versions...
[17:21] <ruan> !cn
[17:21] <rawler> hey.. I've got a quite heavily customized install of 10.10 on my media-pc, and are having some performance issues on .. I just discovered that the processor, Core(1) Duo are supposed to support 64-bit..
[17:21] <szymon_g> *in repo?*
[17:21] <rawler> is it possible to in-place convert an ubuntu-install to 64bit?
[17:21] <fermulator> Anyone familiar with mdadm software RAID?  If so, and if you have some spare time, could you please take a peak at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1719427?  My RAID6 array doesn't auto-re-assemble on reboot.
[17:21] <ruan> rawler: i doubt it
[17:21] <rawler> something like force/convince apt that it really is a 64bit system, and reinstall every installed package?
[17:22] <rawler> I would of course prefer to not have to reconfigure everything..
[17:22] <BabyGirl> can i tags movies in linux ?
[17:22] <rawler> BabyGirl: "tags" ?
[17:23] <BabyGirl> rawler:) yes
[17:23] <szymon_g> BabyGirl, do you mean metadata tags /still within file/ or, let say, tags on filesystem level?
[17:25] <BabyGirl> szymon_g:) tags on filesystem level,,change the way they dislpay,,instead of thumbs,,i want to put a fron picture as dysplay for that movie for my colection
[17:26] <IanWizard> Hey everybody.
[17:26] <shahid_> hi
[17:26] <brontosaurusrex> rawler, how is it costumized? can you backup those constumizations?
[17:27] <shahid_> Slaaam Everybody
[17:27] <bowa> when i upgraded to 10.04 … should i then have grub or grub2
[17:28] <Jeruvy> bowa: if you upgrade you stay with grub, a fresh install would install grub2
[17:31] <shahid_> i have ubuntu 10.10 .. and i want to upgrade it to 10.04
[17:31] <bowa> so when grub is complaining about "partition table invalid or currupt" (even tho the alternate cd doesnt complain about it … ) i ll have to continue with TestDisk or something ?
[17:31] <robbrit> shahid_: usually you have to reinstall by CD in that case
[17:33] <shahid_> 11.04 is released ?
[17:33] <ruan> !natty
[17:34] <robbrit> shahid_: oh did you mean 11.04? yeah it's not out yet
[17:34] <ruan> shahid_: it will be released april 28
[17:35] <danileigh79> Natty Narwhal is not getting good reviews though
[17:35] <ruan> so far, no
[17:35] <tensorpudding> the beta just released two days ago
[17:35] <goruka> how do i make ubuntu unity launcher horizontal?
[17:35] <Autonomiser> Hi there all
[17:35] <danileigh79> dapenguin, you on?
[17:35] <ruan> natty has issues, hopefully they will be fixed by the time its released
[17:36] <danileigh79> ruan, have you used gparted outside of the live cd
[17:36] <Autonomiser> I am just trying to set up the freeCAD svn repo so I can stay up to date and boy am I lost
[17:36] <ruan> danileigh79: yes
[17:36] <shahid_> i really interested to learning about Ubuntu ! i m a new user .
[17:37] <tensorpudding> Autonomiser: have you checked out the source?
[17:37] <ruan> danileigh79: i used it today to resize a partition
[17:37] <ruan> danileigh79: unmounted of course
[17:37] <danileigh79> ruan, i'm trying to make sda5 larger by taking some of winxp's disk, how do i do it?
[17:37] <ruan> danileigh79: resize both
[17:37] <Autonomiser> Every guide I come across is for setting up a svn repo for my own code
[17:38] <ruan> danileigh79: first make winxp smaller, then make sda5 bigger
[17:38] <goruka> Question: can I make ubuntu unity dock horizontal? I have a 4:3 monitor and it being vertical is highly annoying
[17:38] <danileigh79> ruan, thx
[17:38] <tensorpudding> Autonomiser: getting the source is usually as easy as 'svn co <url to svn repo> trunk'
[17:39] <goruka> guess no one is using 11.04 here? is there a channel for 11.04 users?
[17:39] <tensorpudding> #ubuntu+1
[17:39] <goruka> ah thanks
[17:39] <danileigh79> goruka, sorry, i'm not beta user
[17:39] <Autonomiser> All I want to do is access the dev version of FreeCad and stay up to date with the latest code
[17:39] <rawler> brontosaurusrex: sorry, want AFK.. no, it's not exactly simple to repeat.. there are lots of small changes, installed 3d-party packages, tweaks and configuration..
[17:39] <danileigh79> bbs smoke break
[17:40] <tensorpudding> Autonomiser: have you done the svn co command yet?
[17:40] <Autonomiser> Okay sure tensorpudding but where is the source going?
[17:40] <tensorpudding> the command listed on sourceforge is 'svn co https://free-cad.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/free-cad free-cad'
[17:40] <Autonomiser> How do I tell subversion where to put the FreeCAD code?
[17:41] <tensorpudding> what that would do, is put the source in a directory called free-cad under the current working directory
[17:41] <Autonomiser> I would like it to go in /home/svn/free-cad
[17:41] <mark49_> !Frina Douglas Adams - [The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy 01] - The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (v5.0) (rtf).rar
[17:41] <rawler> brontosaurusrex: of course everything CAN be backed up and restored.. but reinstalling 64-bit-version of every package should be MUCH easier if it's possible..
[17:42] <tensorpudding> Autonomiser: so enter the /home/svn directory, and run that command
[17:42] <Autonomiser> But this step seems to be left out of every guide I can find
[17:42] <IanWizard> Is there any way that I can set NetworkManager to use a static address for a bluetooth connection?
[17:42] <Autonomiser> Oh okay thanks
[17:42] <Autonomiser> Easy pezy japonezy
[17:43] <AgentFiveseveN> Hello.  I need some help.
[17:44] <nopf> AgentFiveseveN: that's ok with us
[17:44] <AgentFiveseveN> Is there a default password or something for root when you first install the system?  I definitely don't recall being asked for a separate password but the only one I set up is not working.
[17:45] <llutz> !root | AgentFiveseveN
[17:45] <serialhex> if you issue sudo passwd root you can change the root password
[17:45] <oCean> serialhex: please don't suggest that here
[17:45] <serialhex> oCean: ok, np
[17:45] <klister> Is it possible to install ubuntu without CD or usb?
[17:45] <AgentFiveseveN> OK, I will take a look at that link.  Thank you.
[17:46] <mynameistux> why can't people learn to modify their own root password
[17:46] <serialhex> so has anyone else tried 11.4 yet?
[17:46] <robbrit> klister: how else would you want to install it?
[17:46] <llutz> klister: one way would be using debootstrap
[17:46] <KM0201> klister, possible, but difficult.
[17:46] <ruan> klister: there is net install but im not quite sure how that works
[17:46] <oCean> mynameistux: once you have set a password for root user, we cannot provide the support you might need
[17:46] <mynameistux> where do we cross the line from protecting users from themselves, and censorship?
[17:46] <klister> im on backtrack atm
[17:46] <oCean> klister: bt is not supported in this channel
[17:47] <ruan> klister: how did you install backtrack?
[17:47] <oCean> !backtrack > klister
[17:47] <ruan> oCean: he's trying to install ubuntu
[17:47] <klister> USB, but i dont have that usb drive atm
[17:47] <oCean> ruan: klister now THAT is supported here :)
[17:47] <danileigh79> ruan, i'm actually a little nervous about using gparted, afraid it'll screw something up
[17:48] <ruan> danileigh79: which is why backup is used
[17:48] <ruan> danileigh79: but i havent messed anything up with partitioning before
[17:48] <danileigh79> ruan, recommended method for backup?
[17:48] <ruan> !backup
[17:48] <ruan> personally i use online backup @ mediafire
[17:49] <ruan> since i dont have storage media
[17:49] <danileigh79> ruan, what about a free one for my winxp partition?
[17:49] <klister> So it's difficult to install ubuntu from backtrack then? Are there any tutourials etc?
[17:50] <llutz> klister: old but shows the basics https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/installation-guide/hppa/linux-upgrade.html
[17:50] <klister> I guess i will give it a go, thanks.
[17:50] <serialhex> hey, i just installed kubuntu 11.4 and it removed my nvidia driver, and the one it provided me with is wonky... but when i try and install it again it says i have to uninstall xorg & a bunch of other things... whats up?  how can i fix that?
[17:50] <coz_> klister,   I believe backtrack is using ext2  ..yes?
[17:50] <ruan> danileigh79: what exactly do you wish to backup?
[17:50] <sacarlson> klister: you can install an iso from grub2
[17:50] <coz_> or ext3
[17:51] <oCean> serialhex: it's still beta, support in #ubuntu+1
[17:51] <klister> coz_: hwo can i check that? sacarlson how do i do that?
[17:51] <brontosaurusrex> would unity allow positioning that launcher on the right or bottom of the screen or is it hardcoded to the left?
[17:51] <gsr> Hello all.  I am running Ubuntu 10.04 (kernel 2.6.35), and the torrent application Vuze.  Sometimes, when attempting to allocate a large file, it gets stuck at 0%.  If I close (or kill -9) Vuze, a Java process remains.  It's listed as a zombie by ps, taking up 100% of one CPU.    Is there any way to kill it besides restarting?
[17:51] <serialhex> oCean: ok, thanks!
[17:51] <danileigh79> ruan, my entire 80gb hd incase i screw up
[17:51] <WanderM> hi for all
[17:51] <llutz> klister: grep ext4 /proc/filesystems
[17:51] <Autonomiser> tensorpudding: I ran this command: svn co https://free-cad.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/free-cad free-cad
[17:52] <v4nelle> anybody with floola?
[17:52] <ruan> danileigh79: mediafire is free, but it depends what you want to backup
[17:52] <klister> llutz: *** File error: No such file or directory, ext4
[17:52] <tensorpudding> Autonomiser: okay, so there should be a free-cad directory with the source in it
[17:52] <Autonomiser> tensorpudding: As listed here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/free-cad/develop
[17:52] <Autonomiser> tensorpudding: Cool
[17:52] <danileigh79> ruan, just music, docs, n vids
[17:52] <sacarlson> klister: you can create a custom grub2 entry to point to the iso file as seen done here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1288604
[17:52] <ruan> danileigh79: mediafire has 200mb file size limit, with unlimited storage
[17:52] <klister> sacarlson: ok, will try.
[17:53] <llutz> klister: grep ext4 /proc/filesystems                        you issued a wrong command
[17:53] <nopf> gsr: i'm not sure i believe you cannot kill-9 a cpu-100 process
[17:53]  * Autonomiser the svn noob is getting some where
[17:53] <danileigh79> ruan, that might work, i can backup my vids on usb
[17:53] <klister> llutz:         ext4
[17:53] <klister> there we go
[17:53] <WanderM> what is Dhcp Please
[17:53] <ruan> danileigh79: yep. you can also split large files
[17:53] <llutz> klister: so ext4 IS supported
[17:53] <klister> i guess so
[17:54] <danileigh79> ruan, is there a linux program comparable to winrar?
[17:54] <brontosaurusrex> WanderM, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
[17:54] <nopf> gsr: but nowadays anything is possible. i had some other impossible situations a while ago. so in this case: do you have any 'window' on the screen that belongs to the process?
[17:54] <ruan> danileigh79: p7zip-full
[17:54] <WanderM> ok but how it works I mean thank you aney way
[17:54] <ruan> danileigh79: it handles all archive formats i know. archive manager works with it, too
[17:54] <nopf> gsr: if so, you can go about it with 'xkill' ... worked for me on some otherwise not kill-9-able programs
[17:54] <brontosaurusrex> WanderM, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Host_Configuration_Protocol
[17:55] <gsr> nopf: nope.  and, with htop, I can see a heirarchy of the processes running, and their children.  this process is listed as having no parents, no children
[17:55] <tensorpudding> Autonomiser: you can keep it up to date by pulling the latest revisions
[17:55] <danileigh79> getting it now
[17:55] <WanderM> tvm
[17:55] <danileigh79> ruan, getting it now
[17:55] <philsf> hi, when I plug a headphone in my netbook, the sound still outputs from the speaker. I'm using Maverick, up to date with maverick-updates and -security. Is this a kernel issue?
[17:55] <ruan> danileigh79: once its installed, right click file, compress, choose an archive format
[17:55] <danileigh79> ruan, is it gui or cli?
[17:55] <ruan> danileigh79: both
[17:55] <danileigh79> ruan, k, thx
[17:55] <coz_> klister,  did you find out which file system you have there?
[17:55] <ruan> danileigh79: 7z integrates into archivem anager
[17:55] <gsr> xkill won't work, since the window was run by the parent, the Vuze process, which is already closed
[17:55] <danileigh79> ruan, oh kk
[17:56] <tensorpudding> Autonomiser: you go into the free-cad directory and do 'svn up', and that will pull the latest changes from the server
[17:56] <ruan> danileigh79: so it opens all compatible archives. and it supports more than winrar does
[17:56] <danileigh79> ruan, nice
[17:56] <ruan> plus its free
[17:56] <danileigh79> BBS smoke break
[17:56] <nopf> gsr: yeah, i remember java zombies from 5 years ago. could get a hold of them too. now i don't use java except if given money...
[17:57] <nopf> gsr: s/could/couldn't/
[17:57] <ruan> java zombie apocalypse
[17:57] <mindmaster> something about java provokes automatic hatred
[17:58] <klister> coz_: yup, ext4, but its solved, my dad lent me a stick :)
[17:58] <klister> thanks guys
[17:58] <coz_> klister,  ah ok :)
[17:58] <bewest1> can I ask about dput / ppa here? I'm curious how long after running dput I should see my package in my ppa?
[17:58] <scarleo> I'm trying to make chromium use gnome keyring with --password-store=gnome but I can't see any difference from before, it still gives my password out without any questions
[17:58] <nopf> ruan: no really. twas horrible. hate java ever since. i *heard* that some automatic zombie collector came into kernel a bit later, dunno if it helps much here though
[17:58] <gsr> nopf: lol, agreed.  Guess I'll find a C-based torrent client
[17:59] <ruan> !info qbittorrent
[17:59] <brontosaurusrex> gsr, what was wrong with transmission?
[17:59] <ruan> written in c++
[17:59] <brontosaurusrex> oh
[17:59] <mindmaster> !info utorrent
[17:59] <gsr> brontosaurusrex, nothing really, I'd just been using Vuze up to that time
[18:00] <mindmaster> I bet utorrent is better than qbit hehe
[18:00] <ruan> personally i find qbit more feature-rich
[18:00] <oCean> bewest1: maybe try #launchpad channel?
[18:00] <llutz> !info ctorrent
[18:00] <ruan> brontosaurusrex: c++ isn't the issue, wasn't talking about that
[18:00] <tensorpudding> why is the language used a problem?
[18:00] <bandit5432> any one hearing of problems updating to 11.04?
[18:00] <tensorpudding> transmission is a fine client
[18:00] <brontosaurusrex> !info rtorrent
[18:01] <bewest1> thanks, oCean
[18:01] <oCean> bandit5432: it's still beta, so problems can be expected
[18:01] <bandit5432> well yes i understand that
[18:01] <mindmaster> some of my torrent sites only support two clients.. az and utorrent.. not much of a choice.. if they catch you with the others they ban you :P
[18:01] <bandit5432> i have beta tested since 6
[18:01] <bandit5432> 6.04 '
[18:01] <ruan> mindmaster: qbit supports name faking i think
[18:01] <gsr> I have rtorrent, and have used it occasionally, but it lacks a lot of features
[18:01] <oCean> bandit5432: since it is still beta, the support/discussion is in #ubuntu+1
[18:01] <bandit5432> ty
[18:01] <gsr> like prioritizing files
[18:02] <ruan> nope
[18:02] <ruan> fatrat does though
[18:02] <gsr> ill give qbit and ubit a try
[18:02] <oCean> bandit5432: there was no 6.04, it was 6.06
[18:02] <brontosaurusrex> gsr, hmm, really? i thougth rtorrent can do everything
[18:02] <bandit5432> :P
[18:02] <bandit5432> ty for the correction
[18:02] <ruan> though it must be open source, can probably fake the name from there
[18:02] <gsr> brontosaurusrex, it also doesn't allow for the use of proxy servers
[18:02] <mindmaster> ruan: not the issue of the names. many of them have faulty ratio algorithms so they pick it up that way anyway
[18:03] <BajK> How can I make a video DVD out of an avi file? I tried converting this avi file to mpeg and then using kdenlive's dvd author feature but it always fails when crating the DVD structure and because it's linux there is no explanation but cryptic error messages
[18:03] <BajK> or Video-CD because its a 700mb avi
[18:03] <kdog> I've installed natty beta in a virtualbox and when I log in, nothing appears on the desktop. Unity must not be coming up. I do have "3d" checked in the vb monitors. Any hints?
[18:03] <dougdaulton> how does one prioritize load order of virtualhosts in apache on ubuntu (lucid lynx)
[18:03] <llutz> !info devede|BajK
[18:03] <oCean> kdog: support in #ubuntu+1
[18:03] <bandit5432> oCean,  thanks for the help and information
[18:03] <llutz> !info devede
[18:03] <ruan> !info devede | BajK
[18:03] <kdog> oCean: great, thanks!
[18:03] <BajK> ruan: thx
[18:04] <mindmaster> dougdaulton: why do you need to do that? I can think of almost no reasons.
[18:04] <ruan> utorrent isn't open source :P
[18:04] <BajK> hm, why doesnt kubuntu remember policies anymore? In 9.04 therer was this nice polkit policy editor where you could just say "is allowed to uinstall packages"
[18:04] <BajK> and now even the "remebmer authorization" checkbox does nothing
[18:05] <dougdaulton> mindmaster: the last to load is a wildcard domain
[18:06] <dougdaulton> mindmaster: 1) forums.monkee.comm  2) *.monkee.com ... which is wordpress multi-user network
[18:07] <mindmaster> dougdaulton: Anytime you vhost the 'rule' that is most explict applies first. I've never seen a case where it mattered. Logically though, you want to define all the 'unique' rules first.
[18:08] <mindmaster> likely.. you have some error in your definition
[18:08] <dougdaulton> mindmaster: OK. That helps.
[18:08] <BajK> man why are GTK dialogs so a pain to use? why cant there just be a normal "save as" dialog like KDE would use? no, there is a dialog with a prompt for filename and folder, you click on the folder, and no there is no folder browser but a dropdown with your favorited places and a "other" button which THEN triggers a folder browser -.- man I just know why Canonical should ditch Gnome/Unity and just use KDE
[18:09] <ruan> eh?
[18:09] <dougdaulton> mindmaster:  I've been through the apache2 docs and must be missing something.  Do you know of a good tutorial or example
[18:09] <llutz> BajK: thats what the gtk-freaks call "usability" since ages...
[18:10] <BajK> lol
[18:10] <BajK> yeah I know the Gnome philosophy^^
[18:10] <ruan> advanced usability :P
[18:10] <BajK> There's a difference between "easy to use" and "hide every option that your grandmother might not need and confuse her"
[18:10] <BajK> *g*
[18:10] <mindmaster> http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/vhosts/examples.html make sure you get all the steps and read carefully
[18:11] <dougdaulton> mindmaster: thanks for the help!
[18:11] <scarleo> I'm trying to make chromium use gnome keyring with --password-store=gnome added to the launcher but it still fills my password out without any questions. Any suggestions?
[18:12] <pbarada> Question: I'm running 10.04 LTS and suddenly my mouse/keyboard sow way down and if I type to fast it either drops keys or keys stick until I hit another key.  Keyboard rate looks t be <3 keys/second or they drop/stick/ Any ideas on a fix(resetting machine cures it for a while)?
[18:13] <brontosaurusrex> BajK, and you are not using kubuntu, because of.. ?
[18:13] <mindmaster> scarleo: my tests of integration between gnome and chromium only do more to tell me how little the two things speak with one another :)
[18:13] <BajK> brontosaurusrex: I AM using Kubuntu :)
[18:14] <mello> Question: (running 10.10), I used to use hibernate option a lot on my  laptop, but lately it just doesn't recover out of hibernate anymore. It just goes very very slow.. And I have no clue what caused this
[18:15] <dev2cents> I have the same. What hardware R u running
[18:15] <mindmaster> if you need integration I recommend you stay with firefox 3 for awhile. Chromium still breaks a great deal on linux.
[18:15] <ne7work> how can I check my video card temperature on ubuntu?
[18:15] <ruan> video card temp? didnt have that back in windows. not sure if it exists
[18:15] <mindmaster> ne7work: if you have nvidia prop drivers then there is an app installed to manage the display and it reports it
[18:16] <scarleo> mindbeat, Ok, so basically it won't work? Seems like some people has it working but doesn't want it...
[18:16] <scarleo> mindbeat, sorry, wrong nick
[18:16] <philsf> hi, when I plug a headphone in my netbook, the sound still outputs from the speaker. I'm using Maverick, up to date with maverick-updates and -security. Is this a kernel issue?
[18:16] <mindmaster> ne7work: if you have ati I pity you because they screw us poor linux folks every day
[18:16] <ne7work> mindmaster, I have recommended nvidia drivers?
[18:16] <mintux> I have two INTERNET connection with two ip.i can now active just one of my connection.is it possible to use two of my Internet connection together? means one of my connection use in desktop and firefox and etc and another connection be in just session and use it for download ?
[18:16] <scarleo> mindmaster, , Ok, so basically it won't work? Seems like some people has it working but doesn't want it...
[18:16] <dev2cents> I have 2 machines but my notebook is a tad old and noticed hibernate does not work swell on there. My 64 bit desktop box seems to be ok though
[18:16] <ruan> how do i remove album art from mp3s?
[18:17] <ne7work> mindmaster, ?
[18:17] <mindmaster> scarleo: I'd try it on firefox first because chromium's gnome interfacing is dodgey as hell.. if you can get it to work there then you have some possiblity of having it work in chrome as well when they decide to up the glue layers
[18:17] <brontosaurusrex> !info tag
[18:17] <brontosaurusrex> !info mp3tag
[18:17] <gsr> ruan: easytag is a great tool for mass editing mp3s
[18:18] <llutz> !info id3v2
[18:18] <scarleo> mindmaster, ok, thanks
[18:18] <gsr> it supports reading cover art and deleting it, not sure how it does en masse
[18:18] <ruan> thanks, i'll try it
[18:18] <ruan> no need for mass deletion, only several mp3s have it
[18:18] <shadaloo> hello, my system is failing to load the nvidia kernel module and now I cannot use gdm. Any help?
[18:18] <mindmaster> ne7work: you need the prop drivers if you have them then Administration tells you you have an Nvidia X control panel thingy
[18:19] <ruan> nvidia x server?
[18:19] <Max-P> Hi, I installer Ubuntu on a friend's computer, and it works fine. But when we try to boot Windows XP from GRUB, there's only a black screen and it does nothing. How do I fix that?
[18:19] <shadaloo> ruan: yes
[18:19] <shadaloo> this is what I need
[18:20] <novitololo> any recommendations on reading to understand how linux filesystem works?
[18:20] <mindmaster> ne7work: specifically it says "Nvidia X Server Settings"
[18:20] <ne7work> mindmaster, and if I have nvidia control panel how to see my video card temp?
[18:20] <ruan> !ext3
[18:20] <brilldoctor> why does empathy keep giving me unknown command for /quit
[18:20] <ruan> hmm
[18:20] <ne7work> mindmaster, Yes I have nvidia x server settings
[18:20] <ruan> brilldoctor: try /exit
[18:20] <cha0s2358> can some one help me Adobe air? I installed Adobe Air in software center, and downloaded the ".air" program i want to install. but i cant figure out how to open the .air file with the air installer. im on 10.10
[18:20] <mindmaster> near bottom it should say "GPU 0" click next to the tick should say "Thermal Settings" and a bunch of other info
[18:21] <brilldoctor> no
[18:21] <|Long|> can someone plz help me..after update new driver for gforce 8400gs, i reboot and stuck at initramfs screen, how i fix this?
[18:21] <shadaloo> im in the sme boat
[18:22] <rcmaehl> HELP! Got error at boot: Opening /dev/null failed: No such file or directory.
[18:22] <rcmaehl> Should I be concerned?
[18:23] <ruan> rcmaehl: if you can't boot, i guess so
[18:23] <rcmaehl> ruan: it booted fine
[18:23] <rcmaehl> i just don't want to see the error message
[18:24] <ruan> rcmaehl: hmm, im not sure if its a good idea to mkdir /dev/null
[18:24] <novitololo> I've a question about USB.  Why when I insert a USB it's recognized, and I don't have to mount it?
[18:24] <novitololo> usb flash drive.
[18:24] <rcmaehl> novitololo: b/c the options are configured to do so
[18:24] <brilldoctor> i guess ubuntu auto mounts it
[18:24] <mindmaster> |Long|: Not sure how that prevents boot at that point. I've seen a driver mess up cause GDM to go into a reloading fit and force me to kill it from a terminal, but nothing with ramfs
[18:25] <SwedeMike> novitololo: because most users don't want to be bothered with that, that's why.
[18:25] <brilldoctor> there must be a option to disable it somewhere
[18:25] <novitololo> I imagine that.  But where is that configured?
[18:25] <ruan> why would you want to do that
[18:25] <novitololo> I've looked in /etc/fstab
[18:25] <novitololo> ruan: I'm just trying to learn how the filesystem works
[18:25] <rcmaehl> novitololo: check nautilus options
[18:25] <ruan> right
[18:25] <rcmaehl> novitololo: and try ubuntu-tweak or ailurus
[18:26] <brilldoctor> or disk utility
[18:26] <mindmaster> |Long|: your system should get to a point where you can alt-F1 into a terminal at least.. if that doesnt happen then it's not the driver it's something with your kernel
[18:26] <novitololo> ok
[18:26] <novitololo> thank you guys.
[18:26] <rcmaehl> Also why is my login screen xfce instead of gdm?
[18:27] <|Long|> mindmaster, alt+f1 didnt get me now where, what else can i try?
[18:28] <giulia> hello
[18:28] <alabd> Good day all , How to convert .TS (type of recorded in dvb-T capturing) files to others video formats in Gnu/Linux ?
[18:28] <mindmaster> |Long|: er sorry... ctrl+alt+f1
[18:28] <giulia> can you tell me how can I make disappear my name on the right top with gconftool ?
[18:29] <giulia> I don't stop searching but I can't find it
[18:29] <novitololo> love it! gosh
[18:29] <iaindalton> giulia: just right-click that and choose options
[18:29] <giulia> no
[18:29] <giulia> it doesn't work
[18:30] <giulia> when I am on the desktop
[18:30] <giulia> I just want not to read my name
[18:30] <giulia> but you can't do it with right click
[18:30] <llutz> alabd: mencoder, ffmpeg, avidemux, handbreak... lots of tools
[18:30] <giulia> (blushing)
[18:30] <iaindalton> oh, oops, I guess you can't
[18:31] <iaindalton> pretty sure you used to be able to
[18:31] <brontosaurusrex> giulia, there is an option in 'ubuntu tweaks'
[18:31] <bowa> great … thought i would fix it with testdisk … seems i only made it worse :(
[18:31] <giulia> thanks
[18:31] <alabd> llutz: am trying avidemux but has not result yet
[18:31] <giulia> but does it work with the 10.10 version ?
[18:32] <giulia> question at 2 cents
[18:32] <giulia> as we say in French
[18:32] <brontosaurusrex> i certainly cant see my name up there, so i guess it does work
[18:33] <iaindalton> giulia: looks like the settings in gconf are at /apps/panel/default_setup/applets/fast_user_switch and there's no option to change text
[18:33] <novitololo> anyone have bookmarked good readings to learn filesystem ? :)
[18:33] <giulia> ok
[18:33] <giulia> but the only problem
[18:33] <giulia> is that I have an old tutorial
[18:33] <iaindalton> brontosaurusrex: maybe you don't have that applet on your panel
[18:33] <giulia> which works with Ubuntu 10.04
[18:33] <giulia> hold on
[18:34] <ruan> novitololo: heres some info about ext
[18:34] <ruan> !defrag
[18:34] <slyrus_> so I've got a new (larger) drive and copied all my stuff over to it. how can I make it bootable?
[18:34] <iaindalton> GNOME is notorious for removing features
[18:34] <novitololo> ruan: thanks.  I'm moving from ReiserFS to ext4...
[18:34] <gusg> I'm affected by this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/csound/+bug/719206 which is fixed in "csound - 1:5.13.0~dfsg-3build1" but all I see in Synaptic is version "1:5.12.1~dfsg-5rebuild1". Can I force apt or synaptic to get the newer build?
[18:35] <giulia> ok, the name of this tutorial
[18:35] <giulia> translated from French
[18:35] <brontosaurusrex> iaindalton, giulia, with 'ubuntu tweak' its under GNOME settings/Me Menu setting
[18:35] <giulia> Setting the user name in the top panel
[18:35] <giulia> oh ok
[18:35] <giulia> I give a try
[18:35] <mykey> im trying to get write access to an osx journaled drive
[18:36] <mykey> turning oof journaling is the only way?
[18:36] <raven> how to display foldersize in shell?

[18:37] <Jon--> I want to update ubuntu to 11.04 when it comes out but maintain using GNOME shell as my window manager instead of Unity. How difficult is this to do?
[18:37] <philsf> when I plug a headphone in my netbook, the sound still outputs from the speaker. I'm using Maverick, up to date with maverick-updates and -security. Is this a kernel issue?
[18:38] <giulia> ok, the Me Menu setting works
[18:38] <giulia> :)
[18:38] <giulia> thx
[18:38] <deft_n1x> hi all, i've try to re-compile likewise-open but it fails with likewise-open-<IP_ADDRESS>111/upstream-root//usr/lib/likewise-open/.libs/libunistr.so: file not recognized: File format not recognized
[18:38] <iaindalton> Jon--: I don't know about GNOME shell, but I've upgraded a system through several releases while using Fluxbox. I don't think it will try to force you to change desktop environments
[18:39] <deft_n1x> any idea?
[18:39] <slyrus_> or, perhaps put another way, how can I use the ubuntu disk utility to create a bios boot partition?
[18:39] <mykey> any help
[18:40] <Chillance> why is the install dialogs so slow? its just a damn dialog window, but takes forever going back and forward...
[18:40] <giulia> but how can I do the same, with Ubuntu TMe menu setting -> not display
[18:40] <giulia> with gconftool ?
[18:40] <scarleo> Jon--, You can just choose classic desktop in Natty to get gnome
[18:42] <ruan> Chillance: which install dialog?
[18:42] <brontosaurusrex> giulia, pretty sure its possible
[18:42] <alabd> llutz:  avidemux converts  but no sound in converted video
[18:42] <Jon--> scarleo, Will the development of GNOME and/or GNOME shell not be hurt by Ubuntu switching to Unity? Surely I can do so now, but what guarantee do I have that Ubuntu will still have such good support 5 years from now?
[18:42] <giulia> ok it is
[18:43] <giulia> someone told me
[18:43] <llutz> alabd: it has a lot of options to play with...
[18:43] <giulia> but I was too tired to notice it
[18:43] <brontosaurusrex> giulia, good for him
[18:43] <giulia> so, you go to system, indicator
[18:43] <giulia> me
[18:43] <alabd> llutz: which options ?

[18:55] <bandit63> but trying to update to 11.04
[18:55] <bandit63> so i dont know if its a 11.04 question or problem or a 10.10
[18:56] <zee313> i hv installed adobe reader but not working. Does not opening
[18:56] <zee313> tell me what to do
[18:56] <bandit63> does not matter i cant restart so i am going to hang out here all day
[18:56] <itaylor57> bandit63: I'll leave that to the rest of the room I haven't upgraded  before
[18:56] <itaylor57> zee313: how did you install adobe reader?
[18:58] <bandit63> itaylor57, thanks for just talking to me i thought i had been /ignored-by-all
[18:58] <itaylor57> bandit63: be sure you follow the proper process to do your upgrade
[18:59] <itaylor57> !upgrade
[18:59] <zee313> first i downloaded it from website debian version. Then installed through ubuntu software center
[18:59] <pyghassen> hi there I can't detect Ad-Hocs
[18:59] <borgos> is there a command that can help me fine to my display/resoluation settings or correctly identify my monitor?
[19:00] <borgos> fine tune*
[19:00] <pyghassen> when I look at the Network Manager I only see APs!!
[19:00] <itaylor57> zee313: did you do anything with the debian version before you installed the one in the repos?
[19:00] <brontosaurusrex> alabd, what exactly is in those ts files? did you analize with something? (like mediainfo?) what is your target format?
[19:00] <pyghassen> any idea guys?
[19:01] <frold> Can someone tell me howto get rid of Google Chrome? Im not able to uninstall it...
[19:01] <itaylor57> borgos: sudo lshw will list your hardware
[19:01] <bandit63> itaylor57,  thanks but thats how i did the upgrade
[19:02] <frold> Did try: sudo apt-get remove google-browser - didnt do the job
[19:02] <tensorpudding> frold: open the software center and go to the Google tab, then find the one you've installed and remove it
[19:03] <duper> how would i go about configuring Ubuntu9 to use a 10.04.2 (LTS) repository for package updates with APT? i.e. I installed an older version of the distribution originally, but I still want the latest userland utilities without re-installing (I've already upgraded the kernel.)
[19:03] <zee313> no
[19:04] <shigutso> frold, sudo dpkg -l |grep -i chrom ----> sudo apt-get remove "on what appears"
[19:04] <bloatedfish> !list
[19:04] <itaylor57> zee313: what application are you using that is not working?
[19:04] <tensorpudding> duper: upgrade to 10.04?
[19:05] <frold> shigutso: and tensorpudding  seems like sudo apt-get remove google-chrome-stable does the job!! thanks...
[19:06] <zee313> i want to open my .pdf files through adobe reader . but it is not working.
[19:06] <tensorpudding> duper: 9.10 won't be supported forever, whereas 10.04 is an LTS release and thus will be supported for three years
[19:07] <SwedeMike> 9.10 goes end of support in april this year I think.
[19:07] <itaylor57> zee313: I haven't used the adobe reader so I will defer the the room on this one
[19:07] <mister2> where do commands launched from panel run from? i have pianobarfly running from panel and i can't find where it saves stuff
[19:08] <joeb_> hi all .. i removed some items from the trash can .. there a tool /software that can retrive the deleted items ?
[19:08] <ciss> hi, has anyone of you successfully installed virtualmin on ubuntu 10.04?
[19:08] <alabd> brontosaurusrex: that .TS file is output of recording TV (dvb-t) with VLC
[19:08] <random123> how can i find the permissions of a certain file?
[19:09] <SwedeMike> random123: ls -l <file>
[19:09] <ciss> random123: or ls -e if you're using acl's
[19:09] <random123> i tried ls -l makemaildir in /usr/sbin but now im stuck
[19:09] <random123> i cant get back to bash
[19:09] <brontosaurusrex> alabd, i understand, you did capture the stream as it was, but i always find it easier to figure out what kind of video (i could be h.264 or mpeg2) and audio is inside the container before attempting to convert..., what does 'mplayer myfile.ts' does?
[19:10] <random123> lol
[19:10] <ciss> random123: try ctrl+c
[19:11] <pyghassen> anyone know why my wifi card is detecting only Access Points, but not Ad-Hoc????????????????????????????????????????????
[19:11] <ciss> random123: what exactly were you trying to do?
[19:11] <random123> ciss: I am trying to use maildirmake with courier
[19:11] <brontosaurusrex> alabd, alternatively you could capture a small sample and put in on  a web somewhere...
[19:11] <random123> ciss: But it said I don't have permission for some reason
[19:11] <random123> ciss: But I can't figure out why it says that
[19:12] <ciss> random123: did you run it with sudo?
[19:12] <random123> ciss: I am in root because I'm in a VPS
[19:12] <ciss> random123: can you pastebin the exact error you're getting?
[19:12] <pyghassen> help please, I need an answer for that, anyone faced this problem before?
[19:13] <ciss> pyghassen: this is a very specific problem that probably depends on your card and setup. have you already tried asking google?
[19:14] <random123> ciss: I can't anymore I lost the web page i was on
[19:14] <pyghassen> ciss I have to laptops running Ubuntu, no one can see the other !
[19:14] <brontosaurusrex> can i get some info about a state of batteries in my bluetooth mice?
[19:14] <random123> ciss: I am really confused, linux is so unintuitive and you have to be like the rainman to remember all the different keywords...
[19:15] <IoniZ3D> hallo
[19:15] <ciss> random123: are you following a guide?
[19:15] <ciss> pyghassen: i really recommend you ask google first to narrow down your problem
[19:15] <alabd> brontosaurusrex: http://pastebin.com/xw38khwt , is uploaded file required ?
[19:15] <BajK> hm this DeVeDe thing does not work, it always hangs when "creating DVD structure" -.- any other proposals?
[19:15] <random123> ciss: Yes, I have been trying to set up postfix with sasl for about 20 hours now
[19:16] <ciss> random123: can you give me a link to that guide?
[19:16] <mongy> BajK, works for me, I use it once a week
[19:16] <BajK> the first time it said "unable to create structure, maybe your drive is full"
[19:16] <BajK> and now it just hangs
[19:17] <random123> ciss: I lost the specific one, but I've tried like 5 guides now

[19:17] <rescueee> how to fix grub resolution using rescue mode? i cant edit the grub file but cant update grub. HELP
[19:17] <rescueee> can**
[19:17] <BajK> hm, I like kdenlive but why offer a dvd creationg assistant and not provide a way to convert the input videos?!
[19:18] <brontosaurusrex> alabd, ok, what is your target codec or usage intention?
[19:18] <BajK> and kdenlive says "DVDAuthor process crashed.
[19:18] <BajK> "
[19:18] <BajK> i never thought I would have to say: I miss NERO burning rom -.-
[19:18] <ciss> random123: let's see if i get you right: you were accessing your vps via ssh, then ran some commands, and now you don't have acccess anymore?
[19:19] <rescueee> need help
[19:19] <random123> ciss: I still have access
[19:19] <random123> ciss: I am in SSH yes, on Putty
[19:19] <BlueEagle> BajK: Does /var/log/messages or any other log hold any clue to the cause of the crash?
[19:19] <random123> ciss: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?p=254489#post254489
[19:19] <BajK> BlueEagle: dvdauthor: segfault at 10 ip 08054623 sp bfbcd280 blabla
[19:20] <random123> ciss: That is my main problem
[19:20] <rescueee> I changed grub2 resolution but now it doesnt give signal!
[19:20] <rescueee> need to fix it
[19:21] <alabd> brontosaurusrex: no difference , just i(humble) want to convert that file to a format and type that can be layed easily with know players in other OS like media player and  so
[19:21] <ciss> random123: can you paste your smtpd.conf?
[19:21] <BlueEagle> BajK: Ahh.. A seg fault. That's not easily debugged. First hit on google indicates bad handling of "unusual" file names so I would check that first.
[19:21] <brontosaurusrex> !info mp4box
[19:22] <BlueEagle> BajK: Also, I assume you're not running an overclocked system and you're confident that your RAM is in order.
[19:22] <BajK> BlueEagle: I wouldnt consider /data/bajk/Videos/TheKingsSpeech.mpeg an unusual file name
[19:22] <BajK> BlueEagle: it is
[19:22] <BajK> maybe it's because my /tmp is tmpfs ?
[19:22] <ciss> has anyone experience in installing virtualmin (preferably on ubuntu 10.04)?
[19:23] <brontosaurusrex> alabd, i think this type of file could be remuxed to either mkv or mp4, i'd think you can use ffmpeg for that, hold on, ill find some command lines...
[19:23] <ciss> BajK: case insensitivity can be an issue
[19:23] <BlueEagle> BajK: If you're running an over clocked system and experience seg faults check the processor temperature and also try using original settings and see if the error persists. Transcoding video is processor intensive.
[19:23] <alabd> brontosaurusrex: thanks let me upload one examle
[19:23] <BajK> BlueEagle: temperature and everything is fine and no my system is not overclocked
[19:24] <BajK> ciss: I always KNEW it's dumb to differentiate case in filenames -.-" but well the path is correct
[19:24] <BlueEagle> BajK: Then why are you saying that it is? d'oh!
[19:24] <BajK> BlueEagle: ??
[19:24] <BajK> i didnt say that
[19:24] <BlueEagle> BajK: Well I interpeted "it is" as in your system being overclocked.
[19:24] <BajK> (at least the thing didnt tell otherwise but because it's a GTK application and so does not tell you everything (because it MAY CONFUSE the user) while KDE would just say "hey you idiot, wrong filename" or something^^
[19:25] <BajK> BlueEagle: oh
[19:25] <BajK> eh
[19:25] <pm2> Can anyone give me an official answer: does Kubuntu Lucid use pulseaudio or alsa by default?  I seem to have parts of both installed on my system, and sound is not working...
[19:25] <BajK> the "it is" was reffering to the "ram is in order"
[19:25] <BajK> sorry
[19:25] <FloodBot4> BajK: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:25] <SwedeMike> pm2: it depends, applications can use either API.
[19:26] <brontosaurusrex> alabd, you can try 'ffmpeg -i my.ts -vcodec copy -acodec copy my.mp4'
[19:26] <Guest57435> If the absolute value of -x cannot be used, how is it then that any x can  be used, since x itself can be negative without a prefixed negative sign
[19:26] <edbian> pm2, It probably uses both.  Look at this: http://www.tuxradar.com/content/how-it-works-linux-audio-explained
[19:26] <Guest57435> oops thought i was in #math
[19:27] <BluesKaj> BajK, checkout ffmpeg as a conversion tool, but the kdenlive will run any ffmpeg supported format according to the package manager.
[19:27] <pm2> SwedeMike, edbian, hmm... very complicated...  Any recommended steps on debugging how to get sound working again on my system
[19:27] <pm2> ?
[19:28] <BlueEagle> BajK: Well, then I cannot help you any further, sorry. The Segmentaiton fault is most likely caused by bad coding. Try a smaller file perhaps and see if that resolves the issue. Also make sure no temporary storage runs full during the process.
[19:28] <edbian> !sound pm2
[19:28] <edbian> !audio
[19:28] <r3m> Hi, I would like to know if i should trust program like keypass... i really hope there is no backdoor
[19:28] <BajK> and why cant there just be a program where you click the file, say "make a dvd" and have a finished iSO and pass it to k3b
[19:28] <edbian> pm2, See what ubottu said
[19:28] <BajK> and ubuntu always claims to be multimedia and home friendly..
[19:28] <fedora_newb> I started up my machine to find "error: unknown filesystem. grub rescue>"
[19:28] <ciss> r3m: you should be fine with keepass
[19:28] <edbian> r3m, Did it come from the repos?
[19:29] <BluesKaj> BajK, try devede
[19:29] <r3m> edbian, yes
[19:29] <BlueEagle> BajK: Oh! I found this in launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dvdauthor/+bug/69151
[19:29] <edbian> r3m, It's safe
[19:29] <pm2> thanks edbian
[19:29] <edbian> pm2, good luck!  :)
[19:29] <BajK> BluesKaj: maybe you didnt follow the conversation but as I said: it segfaults whenever it is creating the dvd structure.
[19:29] <r3m> thanks edbian
[19:29] <edbian> r3m, sure
[19:29] <BajK> on EDGY?! how old is this bug? o.O
[19:29] <mobeen> Hi
[19:29] <BajK> lol 2006
[19:29] <BajK> *sneeze*
[19:30] <BluesKaj> I did BajK , never liked kdenlive much , I found it flaky on my video capture
[19:30] <BajK> and kdenlive doesnt let me convert the file to mpeg..
[19:30] <fedora_newb> tried using supergrubdisc but didn't work
[19:30] <BlueEagle> BajK: You can ofcourse check the change log of the release and see if upstream has added this patch that checks if sounds actually does exist in the file.
[19:30] <BajK> if sounds?
[19:30] <BluesKaj> so segfaults on kdenlive aren't uncommon BajK
[19:30] <BajK> it is a movie.. it shoulkd have sound
[19:30] <BajK> BluesKaj: NOT kdenlive
[19:30] <BajK> it does NOT crash
[19:31] <BajK> it just says that the author encountered some error
[19:31] <BajK> while DeVeDe just segfaults
[19:31] <FloodBot4> BajK: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[19:31] <help__me> hello
[19:32] <edbian> Andorin, Have you looked at System -> Preferences -> appearances -> fonts?
[19:32] <edbian> help__me, hi.  What is your question?
[19:32] <help__me> How do I fix grub2 after setting a resolution that doesnt work?! help
[19:32] <BajK> super -.- I just wanted to make the movie avi to be playable on a dvd player
[19:32] <brontosaurusrex> BajK, get your file out of kdenlive with some uncompressed settings, use some other mpeg2 encoder, use some other authoring tool
[19:32] <BajK> now I have to tell my mom she's gotta need to play it on her pc
[19:32] <help__me> i dont have ssh access
[19:32] <Andorin> edbian: Yes
[19:32] <BlueEagle> BluesKaj: From what I gather kdenlive is a front end for dvdauthor.
[19:32] <BajK> brontosaurusrex: and what other authoring tool?
[19:32] <help__me> im trying rescue mode
[19:32] <BajK> I just want to make a plain .avi file playable on the dvd player and that's it
[19:32] <fedora_newb> if anyone could help, it would be greatly appreciated :)
[19:32] <help__me> but there is no option to update the grub!

[19:33] <BajK> a task that would NORMALLY require just clicking "make DVD" -> Choose file -> Make -> Burn -> done
[19:33] <BajK> but no, welcome to the World of Linux.
[19:33] <brontosaurusrex> BajK, honestly? i wouldnt use any on linux, i would step-up to my win or osx station
[19:33] <Christoffer> Does anyone in here know about any "digital" clapperboard for screenrecording? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clapperboard
[19:33] <BlueEagle> BajK: Did you concider http://alternativeto.net/software/kdenlive/
[19:33] <Christoffer> *software
[19:33] <edbian> BajK, If you don't like it don't use linux.  Please don't complain in the channel
[19:33] <Dr_Willis> BajK:  with devede its basically that simple.. but it depends on yoru needs.. My dvd players can play avi files directly these days..
[19:33] <rats_> BajK: have you tried avidemux
[19:33] <help__me> help
[19:33] <alabd> brontosaurusrex: converted file has not sound again ..
[19:33] <edbian> help__me, What do you mean you can't ssh?  What difference does it make if you can ssh?
[19:33] <aauthor> r3m, I'm pretty sure that that is AWN
[19:33] <brontosaurusrex> alabd, did you post a short sample?
[19:34] <r3m> aauthor, thanks!
[19:34] <BajK> borgos: the more I want to do NORMAL EVERYDAY tasks with Linux the more I hate it. No problem doing any geeky or nerdy tasks like pushing your soundtrack you are listening to to your webpage with Dbus or whatever but you cannot even PLAY DVDS OOTB
[19:34] <help__me> edbian: resolution is gone!
[19:34] <BluesKaj> BlueEagle, yeah,  figgered that , ffmpeg or mencoder work for me
[19:34] <alabd> brontosaurusrex:  should find a upload site
[19:34] <BajK> man; i'm gonna found a company that sells Kubuntu computers with EVERY STUPID CODEC in the world PREINSTALLED
[19:34] <help__me> edbian: no video signal!
[19:34] <BajK> yeah
[19:34] <llutz> alabd: use projectX to demux the .ts first, convert it and remux it last
[19:34] <BajK> and I'm gonna get rich
[19:34] <BajK> and donate the money to the poor developer who cannot even make a simple vdd maker tool :)
[19:34] <help__me> edbian: so if i had ssh i wouldnt IMAGE
[19:34] <help__me> get it?
[19:34] <help__me> i want to fix GRUB_GFXMODE
[19:34] <edbian> help__me, If you don't press anything grub just loads the first kernel right?  So just boot Ubuntu normally.  No need to ssh
[19:35] <BlueEagle> BajK: Would not that lead to some interesting licensing issues?
[19:35] <Dr_Willis> BajK:  there are unofficial ubuntu variants with those codecs and other 'legally grey area' stuff allready installed.
[19:35] <help__me> edbian: it's not showing up!
[19:35] <help__me> edbian: no video signal! grr
[19:35] <edbian> BajK, Why don't you just learn to develop and write the app yourself.
[19:35] <edbian> help__me, Can you boot a live CD ?
[19:35] <brontosaurusrex> alabd, let me setup a lil ftp account...
[19:35] <ackt1c> yes
[19:35] <help__me> edbian: not desktop, no enough ram
[19:35] <BajK> why sould I give a damn? I would say "F*** you stupid money obsessed record companies, leave me alone" :)
[19:35] <help__me> edbian: only server edition
[19:35] <BajK> and move to middle sahara where no police could get me :)
[19:35] <bandit63> bajk you can also add them easily to any ubuntu install
[19:35] <edbian> help__me, How much ram do you have?
[19:35] <help__me> grrr.
[19:36] <BluesKaj> BajK, if you want a cli that works well try tovid and associated tools ...much better than any gui dvd authoring
[19:36] <BajK> they should just be installed. period.
[19:36] <help__me> the ram is not the problem here
[19:36] <BajK> BluesKaj: I still refuse to believe that in 2011 it is neccessary to do ANYTHING in a console
[19:36] <alabd> brontosaurusrex: thanks dear , wait i(humble) try to find one in google
[19:36] <BajK> that should be illegal
[19:36] <help__me> I need to edit the /etc/default/grub and update grub
[19:36] <BajK> but I will take a bath
[19:36] <BajK> and then look forward
[19:36] <BluesKaj> !tovid | BajK

[19:36] <help__me> edbian: I im rescue mode.. i can edit grub file but cannot update grub
[19:37] <edbian> help__me, Alright then.  You can't ssh in, a display connected doesn't work, and you can't boot a live CD.  I don't see how to fix it.    The screen doesn't work?
[19:37] <FloodBot4> help__me: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:37] <help__me> edbian: grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr RESOLUTION IN GRUB MENU
[19:37] <BluesKaj> yeah , get mad and go home :)
[19:37] <help__me> edbian: because i changed it!
[19:38] <help__me> but the monitor works..
[19:38] <duper> tensorpudding: i understand that.. i just don't want to have to re-install due to downtime since this is Ubuntu server
[19:38] <edbian> help__me, sudo update-grub changes grub.  Did you edit /boot/grub/menu.lst  ?  What version of Ubuntu is this?
[19:38] <help__me> edbian: i cant do that command in rescue mode
[19:38] <duper> can you upgrade to the new distribution without having to re-partition?
[19:38] <help__me> !
[19:38] <help__me> edbian: 10.04 server
[19:38] <Dr_Willis> duper:  thats a feature of the package manager system. yes.
[19:38] <duper> i was hoping i could just use a diff repo in /etc/apt/sources.list or something
[19:38] <jimcooncat> When I attempt to boot from usb, it loads fine until it gets to show the desktop -- then it shows and old screenshot (from a previous session) and freezes. Is this coming from swap?
[19:39] <help__me> edbian: i have access to rescue mode.....
[19:39] <Dr_Willis> jimcooncat:  whats your video chipset?
[19:39] <help__me> but there isnt update grub in there
[19:39] <jimcooncat> Dr_Willis, a badly supported nvidia
[19:39] <edbian> help__me, yeah.  I get that you're in rescue mode.  What error does it give?  command not found?
[19:39] <help__me> yes
[19:39] <edbian> help__me, You're using sudo?
[19:39] <Dr_Willis> jimcooncat:  try the nomodeset option, untill you get the nvidia drivers installed.
[19:39] <help__me> edbian: livecd uses root
[19:39] <help__me> no need for sudo
[19:40] <jimcooncat> Dr_Willis, thanks. this goes on the boot line?
[19:40] <edbian> help__me, So you are running a live CD?
[19:40] <fedora_newb> I started up my machine to find "error: unknown filesystem. grub rescue>" is this a grub issue? do i need to reinstall? just want to make sure before i mess something up
[19:40] <Dr_Willis> jimcooncat:  yes. You can hit space I think when you see a little man icon, then that gets to the advanced options screen. F6 i think has nomodeset check box in it.
[19:40] <help__me> edbian: if you never used server edition you cant help me
[19:40] <Dr_Willis> fedora_newb:  could be grub is missconfigured and looking for things on the wrong disk/filesystem
[19:41] <edbian> help__me, fine. I can't help you.
[19:41] <fedora_newb> Dr_Willis, i have the live cd in now...any tips?
[19:41] <Dr_Willis> !fixgrub | fedora_newb
[19:41] <help__me> edbian: at least you tried.. the only one in 1587 users
[19:41] <help__me> .
[19:41] <fedora_newb> ty Dr_Willis, appreciate it
[19:42] <edbian> help__me, yeah I wonder why
[19:42]  * Dr_Willis thought the 'rescue mode' was identical on server/desktop
[19:42] <fedora_newb> Dr_Willis, one more thing, do I need grub or grub2?
[19:42] <fedora_newb> 10.10 ubuntu
[19:42] <edbian> 10.10 uses grub2
[19:42] <help__me> Dr_Willis: yeah and why dont u help me with this if know it..
[19:42] <fedora_newb> kk ty edbian
[19:42] <edbian> fedora_newb, sure
[19:43] <help__me> Dr_Willis: i just want to update grub because i changed resolutin and now i get no signal video
[19:43] <Mahjongg> hello, how can i modify settings for ubuntu update manager?
[19:43] <Mahjongg> hello, how can i modify settings for ubuntu update manager from within the terminal?
[19:44] <bandit63> Mahjongg, what are you needing to do?
[19:44] <Dr_Willis> help__me:  with the proper commands you can update grub from a live cd, or rescue mode. check teh guides
[19:44] <duper> has anyone else had issues with MySQL+InnoDB randomly enter an infinite paging loop every month or so that eats up all the swap space (thus forcing reboot) ?
[19:45] <Mahjongg> bandit63, system shows Maverick available. I'd like to hide that
[19:45] <help__me> Dr_Willis: that doesnt help
[19:45] <help__me> Dr_Willis: what guides
[19:45] <help__me> where?
[19:45] <Dr_Willis> !grub2
[19:46] <bandit63> Mahjongg, i dont think you can hide that
[19:46] <Lancelot> I'm having issues playing a DVD in karmic. I have both the restricted extras and libdvdread4 installed.
[19:46] <Mahjongg> bandit63, yes you can... you can choose to be warned for LTS releases only
[19:46] <help__me> Dr_Willis: I dont have access to GRUB menu! no video signal
[19:46] <bandit63> ok then you need to open update-manager and choose options
[19:47] <Mahjongg> bandit63, I do not have access to Xorg on that machine
[19:47] <Mahjongg> bandit63, just ssh
[19:47] <bandit63> ok let me look it up
[19:47] <Dr_Willis> help__me:  resort to a live cd then peraps. you should still get to GDM even if you cant see the grub menus by default.
[19:47] <help__me> Dr_Willis: I cant use gdm dont have enough memory/cpu for that
[19:47] <Lancelot> I'm having issues playing a DVD in karmic. I have both the restricted extras and libdvdread4 installed. VLC just starts and immediately stops afterward. Totem isn't working either.
[19:47] <bandit63> how is it showing upgrade to maverick if you are not using update-manger?
[19:48] <klister> apt-get update (?)
[19:48] <Dr_Willis> help__me:  thats rather amazn+
[19:48] <bandit63> that would not ask to upgrade would it
[19:48] <danileigh79> QUESTION can I set a function somehwere to auto download repositiories when needed?
[19:48] <edbian> amazn+   ??
[19:48] <Mahjongg> bandit63, when I log in remotely, it shows it in the welcome screen
[19:48] <help__me> Dr_Willis: ?
[19:48] <Dr_Willis> help__me:  thats rather amazeing - since iv seen gdm/gnome work on rather minimal systems.
[19:48] <klister> apt-get upgrade (?)
[19:48] <help__me> Dr_Willis: are you making of fun of my problem?
[19:48] <help__me> nice one
[19:49] <bullgard4> [Maverick]  Why does Ubuntu not remove automatically the corpse /etc/gnome/-app-install/packages-whitelist?
[19:49] <help__me> *fun of*
[19:49] <Dr_Willis> help__me:  you could also boot a very minimal live cd such as tiny core linux, chroot in, and attempt to fix your grub config issues.
[19:49] <help__me> isnt this the support channel?
[19:49] <bullgard4> [Maverick]  Why does Ubuntu not remove automatically the corpse /etc/gnome-app-install/packages-whitelist?
[19:50] <bandit63> Mahjongg,  but it does not show any other time?
[19:50] <appi_uppi> Hi, I have desktop(running windows xp) and a loptop(running ubuntu 10.04). I have a ADSL LAN is connected to desktop and ethernet is connected to laptop. I need to copy a file from windows to ubuntu, how could I achieve this?
[19:50] <avinashhm> hi , is there any apt-command , to view the details of installed package .. ?
[19:50] <Mahjongg> hello, how can i modify settings for ubuntu update manager from within the terminal?
[19:50] <edbian> avinashhm, There is aptitude show <packageName>
[19:51] <Mahjongg> bandit63, no
[19:51] <Fuchs> avinashhm: apt-cache policy  or aptitude show
[19:51] <danileigh79> ruan, you on still?
[19:52] <aauthor> Mahjongg, what do you want to modify?
[19:52] <avinashhm> edbian, thank you .. works good ..
[19:52] <edbian> avinashhm, glad I could help :)
[19:52] <bullgard4> Mahjongg: Read 'man update-manager'.
[19:52] <avinashhm> Fuchs , thank you .. works cool ..
[19:52] <avinashhm> edbian, i appreciate ;-) .
[19:52] <danileigh79> Need help, sudo make install for audacious, then attmepted ./configure for audacious plugins, says can't find audacious
[19:53] <alabd> do you know a ftp manager that has fewer size that filezilla
[19:53] <Mahjongg> aauthor, I would like the system warn only for LTS releases rather than normal release...
[19:53] <Dr_Willis> alabd:  you mean a 'ftp client' ?
[19:53] <Mahjongg> aauthor, is there a /etc/update-manager.conf or something?
[19:53] <edbian> danileigh79, Is there a reason you're not just installing audacious from the repos?
[19:53] <edbian> danileigh79, It is much easier that way.
[19:53] <Mahjongg> bullgard4, thanks but does not help
[19:53] <danileigh79> edbian, how to so that, am still new linux user
[19:53] <help__me> thanks for nothing
[19:53] <alabd> Dr_Willis:  yes
[19:54] <edbian> danileigh79, sudo apt-get install audacious
[19:54] <danileigh79> edbian, I did that, installed old version
[19:54] <edbian> danileigh79, And you'll have it!  :)  You could also look for it in ubuntu software center
[19:54]  * Dr_Willis wonders what sort of magical answer help_me wanted....
[19:54] <bullgard4> Mahjongg: Reading does not help? How come? Never been to school?
[19:54] <aauthor> Mahjongg, let me make sure I understand.   Do you only want update manager to pull updates from LTS?
[19:54] <jiltdil> hi
[19:54] <danileigh79> edbian, doing it from repos gives you 2.3, I want 2.4
[19:54] <bandit63> Mahjongg,  you want it to not show you about the upgrade correct?
[19:54] <edbian> danileigh79, Ahh, you want the newest version.  good reason to download from the site.  What error are you getting?
[19:55] <Fuchs> bullgard4: try to stay friendly to other users, thanks.
[19:55] <bandit63> Mahjongg,  look at the files in /etc/update-motd.d/
[19:55] <Mahjongg> aauthor, update-manager reports newer releases upon shell logins. Currently it is set to report all releases, I'd like it to report only the LTS releases
[19:55] <borgos> im running ubuntu 10.10 and i have no /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.  do you know where it would be stored so i can edit it?
[19:55] <bullgard4> Fuchs: Try what you pray to others, first yourself. Please.
[19:55] <danileigh79> edbian, I already sudo make install audacious, now when I try to ./configure the plugins, it says audcaious not installed
[19:55] <bandit63> Mahjongg,  its a motd thing not update-manager
[19:56] <edbian> danileigh79, So the program you have works without the plugins?
[19:56] <bandit63> Mahjongg,  look for a file 91-release_upgrade in that folder and then move it
[19:56] <syn-ack> borgos, There isn't one.
[19:56] <danileigh79> edbian, no I cannot find it except as the folder in downloads
[19:56] <Mahjongg> bandit63, thank you but I'd like it to report LTS releases...
[19:57] <borgos> syn-ack so how can i manually edit my monitor settings?
[19:57] <Mahjongg> bandit63, I was thinking if I can set the update-manager setting, motd would behave as I'd like
[19:57] <danileigh79> edbian, I sudo make install for audacious, how do I complete install??
[19:57] <edbian> danileigh79, This should probably be helpful.  seems to me you have to run more than one command to install from source (usually you have to compile then install)  http://martin.ankerl.com/2007/04/19/how-to-install-anything-in-ubuntu-condensed/
[19:57] <syn-ack> borgos, you'll have to generate one with dpkg-reconfigure or get one off the 'net and modify it to your needs
[19:57] <borgos> syn-ack thanks
[19:58] <bandit63> Mahjongg,  the problem is i dont think that its update-manager that tells you when you are logging in with ssh
[19:58] <danileigh79> edbian, I already ./configure, make, then sudo make install, how do I complete install now?
[19:58] <syn-ack> borgos, Question though, if you don't mind... Is the multiple monitor app in Gnome not working?
[19:58] <induz> is there any application to download/paste pdf books from my ubuntu desktop to Kindle
[19:59] <aauthor> Mahjongg, what if you changed your repositories to only include the LTS releases?
[19:59] <edbian> danileigh79, I believe you're done.  Is there a readme in with the source or something?  I'm not sure.
[19:59] <induz> I have few ebooks as pdf format, i want to read them on my Kindle
[19:59] <syn-ack> aauthor, Then you will only get the updates for LTS
[19:59] <danileigh79> edbian, if I am done, why can I not find the program now?
[19:59] <edbian> danileigh79, Did you get any errors?
[19:59] <syn-ack> which, if you're running an LTS that's how it should be setup to begin with
[19:59] <Dr_Willis> induz:  kindel cant read pdf's thats rahter.. sad of it.
[19:59] <edbian> danileigh79, I don't know what is going wrong.  I think you are done but there was an error.  OR you have to do something special for audacity.
[20:00] <aauthor> syn-ack, oh I think I misunderstood the question then.
[20:00] <edbian> danileigh79, Read the output from the install commands.  Are there any errors?
[20:00] <arianit> hi
[20:00] <induz> Kindle wants me to download something which are available FREE online
[20:00] <arianit> my kernel is not updating. I get: The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources
[20:00] <danileigh79> edbian, I was, this is what I found
[20:00] <induz> is there anyway i can read my ebooks[pdf] on Kindle
[20:00] <danileigh79> edbian, ** WARNING! DBUS support is disabled. This means that various features
[20:00] <danileigh79> ** the user might expect (such as remotely adding files to session via
[20:00] <danileigh79> ** commandline) will not work!
[20:01] <induz> i have ebooks on my desktop and i want to copy them on my Kindle
[20:01] <Dr_Willis> induz:  check the Kindle homepage/forums/faq's perhaps?
[20:01] <phenom> Can any one offer input as to what the hell,, happened to netcat? I understand the -e flag was removed,, but nothing is working any more. Can't set up even a basic "Chat Server" via: nc -lp 5555 or do a: cat hellotext > nc -lvp 5555 anymore..
[20:01] <syn-ack> aauthor, That update script should only show you what you have configured in update-manager
[20:01] <danileigh79> edbian, this is the only error I found
[20:01] <edbian> danileigh79, Who cares about that.  Any other errors?
[20:01] <Mahjongg> bandit63, in 91-release-upgrade the command ran is: /usr/lib/update-manager/release-upgrade-motd so it is related to update-manager somehow, isn't it
[20:01] <danileigh79> edbian, no
[20:01] <edbian> danileigh79, That's it huh.   Mmm, can you pastebin the output of the commands for me?
[20:01] <induz> Kindle homepage asks me download only from amazon
[20:01] <phenom> Can someone try nc -lp 55555?
[20:02] <lament> useful bot
[20:02] <danileigh79> edbian, how to pastebin?
[20:02] <induz> I got this kindle as a gift
[20:02] <phenom> mmm hmm
[20:02] <phenom> 55555
[20:02] <syn-ack> Mahjongg, It's directly related to update-manager
[20:02] <phenom> nc -lp 55555
[20:03] <edbian> danileigh79, paste.ubuntu.com   (pretty self explanatory once you see that page I think)
[20:03] <phenom> Can someone try nc -lp 55555?
[20:03] <phenom> heh
[20:03] <Mahjongg> syn-ack, how can modify update-managers settings from the terminal?
[20:03] <edbian> danileigh79, thank you for asking and not just guessing that you should paste to the channel btw   :)
[20:03] <erUSUL> phenom: why?
[20:03] <lament> lp 55555?
[20:03] <lament> -lp 55555?
[20:03] <johnzorn> I havent updated my ubuntu install in a few months, when I run the updater it tells me it cant do a full update, it can only do a partial update. I read somewhere it was bad to do a partial update. Whats my best option from here to get my system up to date?
[20:04] <lament> odd but
[20:04] <lament> *bot
[20:04] <phenom> yea
[20:04] <mister2> where do commands launched from panel run from? i have pianobarfly running from panel and i can't find where it saves stuff
[20:04] <phenom> Can nc -lp 55555?
[20:04] <phenom> Blah nc -lp 55555?
[20:04] <syn-ack> Mahjongg, check out man update-manager... it's kind of a bit at length for the channel
[20:04] <danileigh79> edbian, http://paste.ubuntu.com/588703/ is that what you need?
[20:04] <phenom> Can 55555
[20:04] <fedora_newb> I am trying to mount my disk to repair grub with "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt" gives me error, but from dmesg, i get "EXT4-fs (sda1): Couldn't mount because of unsupported optional features (80008000)"

[20:05] <Mahjongg> syn-ack, I did that did not help
[20:05] <phenom> mods,, please warn me before you kick me heh

[20:06] <pm2> Hello - I'm troubleshooting some sound problems.  I'm having an issue where if in KDE I go into System Settings->Multimedia and test my sound card output device, I can hear the test music.  However, if I just try running mplayer to play an MP3, I hear no output.
[20:06] <edbian> danileigh79, Yeah I see that.  Do you have anything in /usr/local/    ?
[20:06] <pm2> I do have two sound cards, and I've tried both, but there's no output from either one.
[20:06] <pm2> Any ideas?
[20:06] <fedora_newb> anyone? :(
[20:07] <Guest28685> xxx
[20:07] <erUSUL> fedora_newb: try passing a fsck to the partition first
[20:07] <fedora_newb> erUSUL, fsck?

[20:07] <erUSUL> fedora_newb: filesystem check
[20:07] <fedora_newb> kk
[20:07] <danileigh79> edbian, as far as what? I show some folders there
[20:07] <edbian> danileigh79, I think you forgot to sudo make install   for audacity (not the plugins)
[20:08] <phenom> erUSUL, Yea, appears all the "great" netcat functionality doesn't work on my 10.04. I was hoping someone could do a "nc -lp 5555" and tell me if it actually sets up the socket of spits an error.
[20:08] <phenom> It works on all of my other distros
[20:08] <phenom> Not sure if it's an upstream goof since the demise of the -e flag
[20:09] <lament> hey there was neither a "Can" nor a question mark
[20:09] <phenom> True that
[20:09] <fedora_newb> erUSUL, Filesystem revision too high while trying to open /dev/sda1. The filesystem revision is apparantely too high for this verion of e2fsck or the filesystem superblock is corrupt
[20:09] <mister2> hey guys, what's the directory for panel launchers?
[20:09] <erUSUL> phenom: default version of nc changed in recent ubuntu. install the old one package "netcat" ( now default is netcat-openbsd )
[20:10] <danileigh79> edbian, aw crap, stupid me, thanks for help
[20:10] <phenom> erUSUL, Well it
[20:10] <erUSUL> fedora_newb: try with a different superblock
[20:10] <edbian> danileigh79, haha,  fixeD?  :)
[20:10] <phenom> blah,, it's apparently made it inoperable.
[20:10] <danileigh79> edbian, will find out in a minute
[20:10] <nit-wit> mister2, /file/usr/bin generally
[20:10] <fedora_newb> erUSUL, like sda2?
[20:10] <mister2> nit-wit: where the hell is /file?

[20:11] <nit-wit> mister2, look in the home side panel
[20:11] <danileigh79> edbian, er, error I meant
[20:11] <mister2> nit-wit oh so just /usr?
[20:11] <erUSUL> phenom: with this *new+ nc is simply « nc -l 55555 »
[20:12] <nit-wit> mister usr/bin  and sbin at times
[20:12] <edbian> danileigh79, So you'll have to find that package, and upgrade manually to the newest version by compiling and installing.  This is possibly the beginning of the 'rabit hole'
[20:12]  * fedora_newb getting scared...all my work is on this machine...:(
[20:12] <danileigh79> edbian, i'm beginning to see how far down that rabbit hole is.... fml
[20:13] <nit-wit> mister2, if you are building a launcher navigate from the command to bin and double click or ok
[20:13] <erUSUL> fedora_newb: no; « sudo e2fsck -b 32768 /dev/sdxx »
[20:13] <edbian> danileigh79, That's probably the reason that audacity is not version whatever in ubuntu.  Cause there are X dependencies that also would need to change.  What is the bigger issue?
[20:13] <erUSUL> fedora_newb: replace xx with the letter number of the partition
[20:14] <fedora_newb> erUSUL, it gave me usage commands
[20:14] <fedora_newb> oh forgot -b
[20:14] <danileigh79> edbian, i'm trying to play vg system sound files PSF,PSF2, and SPC that won't play on audacious 2.3 but supposedly will on audacious 2.4
[20:14] <edbian> danileigh79, you just wanna play them?
[20:14] <danileigh79> edbian, yes, that's my intent
[20:15] <fedora_newb> erUSUL, Superblock has an invalid journal (inode 8). Clear <y>?
[20:15] <edbian> danileigh79, does vlc or mplayer play them?  They play everything
[20:15] <fedora_newb> I don't want to lose any work...plz keep that in mind lol
[20:15] <phenom> erUSUL, Ahh,, well thank you.
[20:15]  * phenom gives netcat a noogie.
[20:15] <danileigh79> edbian, I couldn't get them to when I first installed linux
[20:15]  * phenom hates change

[20:20] <bullgard4> [Maverick]  Why does Ubuntu not remove automatically the corpse /etc/gnome/-app-install/packages-whitelist?
[20:20] <ActionParsnip> danileigh79: got ubuntu-restricted-extras as well as w32codecs from medibuntu
[20:21] <edbian> danileigh79, They say (here for example http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=261873)  that audacity works with the plugins.  The post is from 2007 surely the version in the repos then is older than or equal to the version in the repos now.
[20:21] <llutz> alabd: i'm not very good in video things, i cannot help you

[20:22] <ActionParsnip> danileigh79: you can install ubuntu-restricted-extras using software-centre as your OS stands

[20:24] <foowaffle> hey guys do u know any programs that allow the xfr1 codec?

[20:33] <ubuntu> can someone help me mount my harddrive
[20:33] <Haegin> both are installed using ubuntu server but one is a desktop running Xorg etc. The desktop is more broken, it just has LANG="" and everything else = POSIX
[20:33] <ubuntu> or atleat find it
[20:33] <edbian> ubuntu, Does it show up in the output of sudo fdisk -l  ?
[20:33] <ubuntu> no it doesnt
[20:33] <DasEi> ubuntu: open a terminal ..
[20:33] <ubuntu> ok
[20:34] <ubuntu> its open
[20:34] <DasEi> ubuntu: not in fdisk -l ? usb ?
[20:34] <ActionParsnip> Packrat_Mobile: grab a raid card rather than cheap soft raid and have fewer issues. Thats what I know of raid
[20:34] <Packrat_Mobile> its not a soft raid.

[20:36] <DasEi> ubuntu: ubott.. is the channel ro-bot
[20:36] <freeman213> Is it possible to set up the apps folder on a partition on another memory stick?
[20:36] <DasEi> !brain
[20:36] <ActionParsnip> ciss: depends on if your cpu/motherboard supports 64bit guests as well as the use of the server
[20:37] <fedora_newb> got it working, thanks guys, GREATLY appreciate the help
[20:37] <fantapanda> hey, how to convert from linux notation (e.g. /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdb2) to grub notation?
[20:37] <fedora_newb> ubuntu ftw
[20:37] <erUSUL> freeman213: have you tried freeing up some space? « sudo apt-get clean »
[20:37] <fantapanda> lets say
[20:37] <Packrat_Mobile> AMD Phenom II X6 100T - Asus MS498TD EVO 3, 2 TB WD's, 1 60 GB OCZ SSD, Trying to run 2 of the WDs in a RAID 1 Mirrored Setup. Trying to run the other two in Seperate Spanned Arrays. I set /Home to mount on the RAID 1, install/partition goes fine through the Alternate Install CD, and when it comes time to Boot it says "The Drive for /Home is not available or ready yet."
[20:37] <fantapanda> fdisk -l gives me
[20:37]  * fedora_newb hi5 erUSUL
[20:37] <DasEi> ubuntu : try gparted
[20:37] <erUSUL> fedora_newb: hi
[20:38] <fantapanda>  /dev/sdb1, /dev/sdb2, /dev/sdb5, /dev/sdb6
[20:38] <llutz> fantapanda: grub2 counts drives from 0, partitions from 1. so /dev/sda1 ~ (hd0,1)
[20:38] <erUSUL> fedora_newb: e2fsck fixed the partition ?
[20:38] <fedora_newb> erUSUL, yes :)
[20:38] <freeman213> erUSUL: yes. I've tried that, localepurge, blechbit etc. It helps some but not enough.
[20:38] <fantapanda> in grub notation, which one will be /dev/sdb5?
[20:38] <fedora_newb> does this mean the drive is bad @ erUSUL?>
[20:38] <erUSUL> !yay | fedora_newb
[20:38] <llutz> fantapanda: hd1,5
[20:38] <ActionParsnip> Packrat_Mobile: yeah its fake raid. A nice pci raid card 32mb will set you back $250
[20:38] <ciss> ActionParsnip: what are the main drawbacks when choosing 32bit?
[20:38] <freeman213> Down to 750MB free space atm. Having to clear all caches to keep everything going.
[20:38]  * Packrat_Mobile bangs head into wall.
[20:39] <fedora_newb> erUSUL, should I think about replacing my hdd now? Thinking because of this issue it might be bad?
[20:39] <llutz> fantapanda: and pls don't ask what grub-devs smoke...
[20:39] <fantapanda> why is it called /dev/sdb5 in the first place
[20:39] <fantapanda> if its third partition
[20:39] <DasEi> Packrat_Mobile: ask detailed question
[20:39] <_Alex__> Is it a good idea to set up a RAID 1 (Mirroring) on 2 2Tb Drives?
[20:39] <llutz> fantapanda: 1st logical drive, always = 5
[20:39] <edbian> fantapanda, cause it's in an extended partition (which allows you to have more than 4 partitions)
[20:39] <fantapanda> llutz: thanks alot!
[20:39] <DasEi> _Alex__: yes, why not
[20:39] <_Alex__> Just asking
[20:39] <erUSUL> fedora_newb: hard to say; we do not know why the filesystem got corrupted... check SMART status ( health) . System>Admin...>disk utilitie
[20:40] <ActionParsnip> Ciss: access to less ram, smaller data registers are two I can think of easily. I suggest you look at what 64bit really means
[20:40] <fedora_newb> erUSUL, kk, again, thank you for the help, you don't know how much headaches you saved me...
[20:40] <Packrat_Mobile> AtcionParsnip: is Ubuntu 10.10 still not playing well with AHCI?
[20:40] <edbian> ciss, end of the day.  64 bit allows you to use more than 3.2Gb of RAM
[20:41] <Packrat_Mobile> _Alex__: I've done it on far smaller drives...
[20:41] <DasEi> _Alex__: won't save a backup , but lowers the chance of irrecoverable hardware failure for important data
[20:41] <erUSUL> Packrat_Mobile: linux plays well with ahci... bios fakeraids in the other hand ...
[20:41] <_Alex__> Raid 1 DOES save data
[20:41] <_Alex__> *backup
[20:42] <DasEi> _Alex__: yes, but backup is fine for user/software related errors
[20:42] <ActionParsnip> Edbian: it also has larger data registers to allow processing of larger amounts of data or to allow more accurracy in floating point calculating
[20:42] <Packrat_Mobile> erUSUL - didnt do a whole lot of investigating on it yet, but while i was surfing the forums this AM: came across a bug report that M.M was not playing well with AHCI
[20:42] <edbian> ActionParsnip, of course :)
[20:43] <ciss> edbian: since i don't plan to assign more than 512 MB ram i guess i can happily stick to 32 bit? the appliance will be used as a lamp development server
[20:43] <erUSUL> !blacklist
[20:43] <erUSUL> Packrat_Mobile: To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs  -u »
[20:43] <edbian> ciss, It's probably a safe bet that you have a 32 bit virtual machine as well so I would say yes
[20:43] <DasEi> Packrat_Mobile: I don't know your asus personally, mine does fine in compatible mode, with real 'freky'setup, mixed ide n sata
[20:43] <danileigh79> hafta reboot, brb
[20:43] <itrekkie> hi everyone—does anyone know if ubuntu server 10.10 has a firewall enabled by default? I'm trying to access an oracle service over bridged networking from virtualbox but no dice, looking for more ideas to research
[20:44] <Packrat_Mobile> "freky?"
[20:44] <ActionParsnip> _Alex__: it has 2 identical drives. Single drive failure will not destroy data and you can replace the drive and the data will duplicate over
[20:44] <erUSUL> Packrat_Mobile: i would add dm-mirror ( i think that is the one for raid 1 ) to that file...
[20:44] <erUSUL> Packrat_Mobile: and run the update-initramfs
[20:44] <ActionParsnip> itrekkie: yes iptables is in all ubuntus
[20:44] <DasEi> Packrat_Mobile: but apart from investing much money for a davicontrol or such, I'd recommend using softraid rather then this fake-raid of the mobo
[20:45] <nicly> hi

[20:56] <DasEi> amir_: so you could, if there is free space, save your data on an extra partition and then reinstall
[20:57] <_Alex__> Or get a USB stick, and back it up there, amir_
[20:57] <DasEi> amir_: that could be avoided
[20:57] <amir_> is there a way to rebuild the partition table from the data stored in /proc
