[00:00] <Brain> I don't want to work in root user since its unsafe.
[00:00] <pulga> mdg: I did it, but the release keeps on 8,04
[00:00] <Brain> so I want my other account to have sudo powers.
[00:00] <th0r> Brain: it shouldn't even be defined
[00:00] <minimec> Brain: Well... root is not the best name for the first user ... but anyway ;) Login as root and open sudo users-admin and give david administration rigsts in the gui.
[00:00] <Brain> there is no gui installed
[00:01] <hyperion__> Brain, i feel sorry for you if youre running server :P
[00:01] <minimec> Brain: Open <alt>F2 gnome-terminal, then sudo users-admin
[00:01] <dare> how does gnome/whatever help you run a server? :P
[00:01] <th0r> Brain: what does 'uname -a' return?
[00:01] <pulga> mdg: I did it, but the release keeps on 8,04
[00:01] <dare> there are no server administration gui apps afaik
[00:02] <bucky> dare: it doesn't but most people can't configure anything without gui helpers and gedit now

[00:10] <minimec> dare: let's say, I had to do that recently with a USB Stick ;)
[00:10] <bucky> Brain: so you created an primary user during install named "root" ?
[00:10] <omnydevi> minimec: dare: will give it a whirl, thanks :D
[00:11] <Brain> bucky, I don't think I did. Root user is the main one. And david is my other user account.

[00:11] <boss_mc> pulga: or sudo apt-get install update-manager-core && sudo do-release-upgrade
[00:11] <bucky> Brain: can you sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg  and then try startx again
[00:11] <pulga> ok

[00:14] <th0r> bucky: hosts has to contain the name of the local host for X to work...sounds like that name isn't in /etc/hosts. But.....it sounds like jaunty was installed over something else, and that, of course, won't work
[00:14] <mdesiderio1> I could use some help determining why my system keeps freezeing, anybody has some good tips?
[00:14] <minimec> dezert: First... plug it in. Then see what happens... I am kidding. If you were using the restricted drivers from ATI/Nvidia, remove them first. then change the card. Ubuntu will tell you, if there are restricted drivers available again for your card.
[00:14] <Brain> So how might I solve this problem?
[00:15] <mdg> Brain: I'd power down and reboot for a start
[00:15] <dezert> minimec I was using nvidia drivers, how do I remove them?
[00:15] <bucky> Brain: i think you have a bad install
[00:16] <kbp> I have Ubuntu Server 9.04 with Apache. There are 3 directories but the directory index just shows 2 directory. Any suggestion? (I checked permission and all those 3 have same permissions, even with owner and creator)
[00:16] <minimec> dezert: There is a GUI for it in the System menu. 'Hardware Driver' or something. I am using a german version here ;)
[00:17] <dezert> Minimes, yes but when I go there it says that no proprietary drivers are being used
[00:17] <bucky> kbp: did you edit /etc/apache2/sites-available/default and comment out RedirectMatch ^/$ /apache2-default/  ?
[00:18] <peij> hi. How can I use pulseaudio and alsa applications as the same time ? (amarok and flash videos in firefox for instance)
[00:18] <bucky> kbp: also it sounds like a virtual server config problem https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/httpd.html
[00:18] <mdesiderio1> Hi, I have ubuntu 9.04 in a Sony vaio P laptop. It keeps freezing randomly. Does anyone have tips on how to determine the cause or maybe fix the problem?
[00:18] <minimec> dezert: Ok. So you don't use them. What Nvidia are you using? Maybe try to activate that restricted driver first, before changing the card. May be you don't want to change the card afterwards *rofl* ;)
[00:18] <kbp> bucky: I just check and there is no RedirectMatch during the config file
[00:19] <bucky> kbp: also it sounds like a virtual server config problem https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/httpd.html
[00:19] <Flare183> peij: You have to install the PulseAudio Settings Manager thingy (I think)
[00:20] <icarus> how do you have mutable backgrounds per workspace using compilz fuzion?
[00:20] <peij> thank you Flare183, i'll try this
[00:21] <dezert> Minimec, actually I installed my old hard drive with ubuntu installed on it on a new pc that has a built in on-board intel display card, so do I need to re  install ubuntu?
[00:21] <Flare183> peij: Your welcome
[00:21] <komputes> icarus: mutable backgrounds?
[00:21] <kbp> bucky: I've just checked the log and there is no problem with config file (as it gives no error)... :D
[00:21] <icarus> komputes, yes
[00:21] <komputes> icarus: background wallpapers are images and do not output sound
[00:21] <Flare183> komputes: I think he means multiple backgrounds
[00:22] <minimec> dezert: Probably not. Are you using Ubuntu 9.04 jaunty? Can you pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
[00:22] <komputes> Flare183: even then, I do not understand the question
[00:22] <toyimp> I need to install Winblows on my system. But there is no ntfs partition on my HDD at the moment. Is it possible to create a partition from Ubuntu and then reboot and install winblows on there?
[00:22] <toyimp> If so what partition program is decent?
[00:22] <dezert> minimec, what's pastebin?
[00:22] <komputes> Flare183: nm got it

[00:23] <fosa> to untar to a directory, is: tar xvzf dir/filename.gz -?
[00:23] <bucky> toyimp: use gparted to shrink a partition and make room for a new one
[00:23] <icarus> Flare183, i meant how do i have a diffrent wallparer per workspace
[00:23] <dtchen> peij: if you're using a default 8.10 or 9.04 config, that's already the case [that FF+Flash and Amarok work fine]
[00:23] <Xerran> if i install "ubuntu restricted extras" will it kill my flash x64?
[00:23] <komputes> icarus: you cannot in gnome, but you can in kde
[00:23] <Flare183> icarus: Ahh ok
[00:23] <toyimp> bucky, thanks!
[00:23] <debo> what is the best mail server to install on ubuntu
[00:23] <Dr_Willis> debo:  depends on your needs i imagine.

[00:24] <bucky> postfix
[00:24] <dtchen> peij: it's only if you modify the default configuration that you would need to change System Settings (specifically, the KDE config module for audio/ Phonon) and/or /etc/pulse/default.pa
[00:24] <diegolinux> alguem ai sabe como pegar ip no linux?
[00:24] <peij> dtchen: Unfortunately it doesn't work. I launched pulseaudio in verbos mode to track, and when i wan't to read a video in FF, it cuts alsa off
[00:24] <icarus> i use gnome
[00:25] <toyimp> th0r, even if I add a NTFS partition?
[00:25] <debo> Dr_Willis: Small team
[00:25] <peij> dtchen: I'm using kde, yes.

[00:26] <th0r> toyimp: you will lose grub and be unable to boot into linux...you will only be able to boot into windows. You can reinstall grub and get linux back, but will have to edit the menu.lst file to add windows to the boot menu after that
[00:26] <komputes> icarus: drapes was the name of the package but it doesn't allow you to have 1 pic per desktop, more like a picture rotation - i think that was what was included in KDE as well
[00:26] <Legendario> can anyone help me to edit the xorg.conf file? I have a 640x480 resolution even with the nvidia driver...
[00:26] <peij> dtchen: i'm there
[00:26] <komputes> icarus: do you run compiz?
[00:26] <Guest719> any one here good with mysql it seems I dont have "voice" on the mysql channel :/
[00:26] <blip> i found a good site to reinstall gtub
[00:26] <minimec> dezert: Copy /etc/X11/xorg.conf here http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[00:26] <th0r> toyimp: linux will still be on the drive, but you won't be able to boot into it, windows replaces grub as the boot loader
[00:27] <dtchen> peij: for all the Audio output choices, make sure you change it so that PulseAudio is at the top of the list
[00:27] <toyimp> th0r, ugh even more reasons to hate windows.
[00:27] <peij> dtchen: so, every software would use pulseaudio instead of alsa ?
[00:27] <boss_mc> Guest719: ask in #ubuntu-offtopic
[00:27] <dezert> minimec , ok, just did
[00:27] <hey`> hey  have *rb3e0s w5th 0y 2eyb6ard

[00:27] <icarus> no i want a diffrent pic per workspace
[00:27] <toyimp> th0r, thanks :) I think I might just reinstall linux. I'll try and save what i can.  Like always.
[00:27] <th0r> toyimp: if you had installed windows first and then linux....linux is smart enough to work it all out
[00:27] <hey`>  cant ty*e
[00:27] <blip> tes
[00:28] <Dr_Willis> icarus:  gnome dont support that 'complex' feature. :) no idea why..
[00:28] <minimec> dezert: So you have to paste the link here, so I can see it too ;)
[00:28] <th0r> toyimp: if you are considering a reinstall, you might want to do windows first, and then linux
[00:28] <komputes> icarus: with compiz you can do that, but gnome only allows for one desktop wallpaper by default
[00:28] <komputes> icarus: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/07/28/stackswitch-and-wallpaper-plugins-with-compiz-076/

[00:28] <dtchen> peij: (they'd fall back to direct ALSA)
[00:28] <toyimp> th0r, yeah I've done that before. But I installed linux on my whole drive. And yeah I'll be doing windows first then linux.
[00:28] <b3rz3rk3r> toyimp, use a livecd to grab your data first
[00:28] <jdu> toyimp, so you can reinstall the programs you already installed, try aptoncd
[00:28] <dezert> Minimec, ok, http://paste.ubuntu.com/248921/

[00:29] <Saruji_> jdu thx
[00:29] <minimec> dezert: Ok. I see that your xorg.conf is a configuration for the nvidia restricted driver. I would do the fallowing...
[00:30] <icarus> thanks
[00:30] <peij> dtchen: should I restart pulseaudio, my system or something ?
[00:30] <th0r> Brain: I  mean there was a linux server installed in the  computer before you started adding ubuntu

[00:30] <hey`> thh5s
[00:30] <jdu> hey`, in what way?
[00:30] <Dr_Willis> Legendario:  you did run the nvidia-settings tool  as root and tried changing it with that?
[00:30] <hey`>  cant ty*e 5t sh64s

[00:30] <minimec> dezert: Do you get a graphical login or does ubuntu start in low graphics mide?
[00:31] <b3rz3rk3r> Brain, use the liveCD and just nuke it all again by ticking the "format" option when doing partitions

[00:31] <Brain> I don't have a livecd

[00:31] <sexy-coder-girl> Hello, this is a bit of a longshot, but I thought I'd give it a try (##openbox is quite empty). I am using OpenBox window manager and what I'd love to have is a keyboard shortcut that would enable/disable the "Focus windows when mouse pointer moves over them" option.
[00:31] <hey`> i must hold up 'Fn' to get type
[00:31] <jdu> hey`, ?  is the keyboard layout changed?  in the keyboard preference?
[00:31] <jdu> hey`, laptop?
[00:31] <hey`> yes
[00:31] <sexy-coder-girl> Anyone have a tip for that?
[00:32] <hey`> lap top
[00:32] <jdu> hey`, try numlock key
[00:32] <Brain> is there any way to do a fresh install of Ubuntu without the livecd?
[00:32] <Dr_Willis> Legendario:   thats odd.
[00:32] <Dr_Willis> Brain:  you can make a bootable flash drive  with Unetbootin
[00:32] <jdu> hey`, hit it once, and see if it fixes it.  You might need to do fn+nmlk
[00:32] <hey`> jdu you saved my life.
[00:32] <Brain> I'm using a remote server
[00:32] <hey`> it was that!
[00:32] <Brain> So I don't have access to it
[00:32] <Brain> VPS server
[00:32] <hey`> damn I hate my friends!
[00:32] <jdu> hey`, no problem ;)
[00:32] <Adys> Someone help me out there: http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/amd64/lib32asound2-plugins/filelist - Where can I find libasound_module_pcm_pulse.so 32bit? it's not in there =/
[00:33] <th0r> now it comes out
[00:33] <hey`> it was only 30 seconds, and they did this to me!
[00:33] <minimec> dezert: I would open the synaptic package manager and check isf there are some nvidia packages still installed. search in the search function (not with quicksearch) for nvidia.
[00:33] <hey`> thank you very much jdu :)
[00:33] <Adys> the description of this package says it supports pulse but obviously it doesnt..
[00:33] <Brain> is there any way to do a fresh install of Ubuntu without the livecd and I'm using a VPS server so I don't have access to it.?
[00:33] <minimec> dezert: There is probably something like nvidia-180-kernel-source ... ,)
[00:33] <Legendario> Dr_Willis, I have no idea why. I was with hardy and everything was ok. But since i made a fresh install of jaunty on my root partition, I could never have the standard resolution
[00:34] <linuxdude> unetbootin
[00:34] <earthen> Brain,  so what your saying is that you want to do a remote install of ubuntu
[00:34] <MTeck> I'm installing Ubuntu from the alternate CD and I want to setup an encrypted partition. The optiosn for a key are either Passphrase or Random Key. I know what Passprase is - what's Random Key? Is it a randomly generated password I need to remember?
[00:34] <Brain> Basically
[00:34] <Brain> yes
[00:34] <dezert> minimec: yes there is nvidia-180...
[00:34] <Dr_Willis> Legendario:  perhaps ya installed the wrong driver/version for your video card.  theres nvidia-180 then some older/legacy version
[00:35] <earthen> Brain, I'm 100% sure but i don;t think that is possable
[00:35] <Brain> is it possible to do a remote install of ubuntu?
[00:35] <minimec> dezert: remove all that nvidia stuff completly...
[00:35] <Brain> ok
[00:35] <jdu> MTeck, I am not sure, but I assume with a random key, the key would be stored somewhere and you would not have to type a passphrase.
[00:35] <bobu> is there any compatibility with paltalk in linux?
[00:35] <Legendario> Dr_Willis, I installed the latest version available on my system: 173
[00:36] <earthen> Brain, you would need someone to start the install at least far enough to get ssh up and running
[00:36] <earthen> Brain, then you could take over
[00:36] <Brain> Ok thank you.
[00:37] <peij> dtchen: Ok, that works fine, thank you very much !
[00:37] <dezert> minimec, there's a package called xserver-xorg-video-nv , should I remove it too?
[00:37] <earthen> Brain, np but like i said I'm not 100% sure
[00:37] <nightrid3r> i have a sound problem with skype, sound works but the level of the mic is so low that its almost impossible to understand me, i put all slides i could find in oudio mixer to full, is there anyithing i can do, its not a hardware problem, it worked fine in windows
[00:37] <minimec> dezert: No. That is the opensource nvidia driver. That one is installed by default.
[00:37] <Legendario> Dr_Willis, done that with the restricted drivers tool. No mistake possible i guess. Can you help with the xorg.conf file and see if I can solve this?
[00:38] <peij> dtchen: can I ask you a few more questions about pulseaudio and alsa ?
[00:38] <dtchen> peij: np
[00:38] <dtchen> peij: sure
[00:38] <Saruji_> hey guys i'm having a hard time installing new nvidia drivers...is there a simple how to?....whenever I launch sudo sh Nvidia driver name, it tells me that I have to exit X, is there an option to bypass this or do I have to be logged out of X?
[00:38] <minimec> dezert: After having deleted the nvidia stuff, open a gnome-terminal.. a simple console.
[00:39] <jjg> i've burned 4 cdroms on OSX with v9.0.4 and none are working when trying to install .. has anyone successfully burnt installation media with OSX?  If so, what was the procedure?
[00:39] <Dr_Willis> Legendario:  my xorg.conf is basically blank.  Not sure how its gettting the info
[00:39] <nightrid3r> Saruji: type init 1 then launch nvidia setup
[00:39] <earthen> Saruji, go to hardware driver iand select it from listn  syatem/admin
[00:39] <dare> jjg, it does not boot or you receive read errors when installing?
[00:39] <dezert> Minimec: ok, removed them and opened terminal
[00:40] <Dr_Willis> Legendario:  heres mine. but its set for a nvidia 8800gtsxxx and twinview on 2 monitors.
[00:40] <Xerran> if I install "Ubuntu Restricted Extras" will it kill my "FLASH x64"?
[00:40] <Dr_Willis> Legendario:  pastebinit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[00:40] <Dr_Willis> http://pastebin.com/f1ae87c3a
[00:40] <Saruji_> earthen I do and the ones that come with jaunty are having problems with my system using compiz, someone one here suggested that I upgrade to the newest drivers and that my gnome crashing was due to a known error
[00:40] <dtchen> Xerran: if you manually installed the 64-bit alpha of Flash 10, yes
[00:40] <jjg> dare .. my first time i used a command line util in osx and it would start the install, but there were erros and the disk verification failed ... when I burn with TOAST it won't even boot and when i use disk utility i get "error reading boot cd."
[00:40] <minimec> dezert: Now we reconfigure the xserver to its automatic default settings. type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[00:40] <peij> dtchen: basically, what is the difference between pulse and alsa ? why is alsa selected by default since it causes conflicts with pulse ? :s
[00:40] <earthen> Saruji,  are you running 64bit
[00:40] <Saruji_> nightrid3r: so sudo init 1 sh NVIDIA driver
[00:40] <Saruji_> earthen: no
[00:40] <Xerran> dtchen, will i then just have to reinstall it?
[00:40] <dtchen> peij: pulse is a sound server that runs on top of alsa.
[00:41] <goku12205> hi
[00:41] <jdu> Saruji, make sure you close out anything important before you do that!
[00:41] <earthen> Saruji, ok cause i had that problem running 64 bit ubuntu didn't find it and had to go back to 32 bit runs fine for me now
[00:41] <yeoj> I just plugged in a USB mass storage device, and is shows up in dmesg, how can i tell what sd device it is?
[00:41] <dtchen> peij: it augments alsa, providing extra functionality like the ability to set independent volumes for each application and being to migrate them on-the-fly to different sinks (where sinks can exist on separate machines)
[00:41] <dezert> Minimec, ok should I choose the defaults?
[00:42] <nightrid3r> Saruji: init 1 will stop x, you'll probably have to login after that (not sure) then you can launch nvidia installer
[00:42] <minimec> dezert: Probalby yes. Even unusal, the 'gui' is quiet intuitive...
[00:42] <Xerran> thanks
[00:42] <Saruji_> jdu ok sounds good thanks, earthen guess we'll see :) my newbie butt is totally new to this
[00:42] <Legendario> Dr_Willis, mine too. Since XORG version included in intrepid, the x server is reling mostly on HAL to set screen resolution. xorg.conf file overput that but it is starting to get deprecated... but i've never had to touch on it
[00:42] <dare> jjg, which disk verification? the one the iso burner performs?
[00:42] <peij> dtchen: oh.. I still don't understand why alsa is selected by default then.. Pulse seems to be quite better !
[00:42] <Saruji_> nightrid3r: k will do
[00:42] <earthen> Saruji, I'm pretty new to this all my self actully
[00:42] <jdu> peij, pulse has been historically buggy
[00:43] <dezert> minimec: ok done
[00:43] <jjg> dare .. no the ubuntu verification .. but that was when i used hdutil from the CLI .. i don't even know if is a proper way to do it ( was my first attempt )
[00:43] <minimec> dezert: After having done that, you can logout and do a reboot, because the nvidia kernel modules are still loaded... I will have a cigarette break.. Godd luck ;)
[00:43] <dtchen> peij: kubuntu lags ubuntu in the migration to pulse, which is deliberate
[00:44] <dare> jjg, try to perform a verification of the disc against the iso in os x (i don't use it so don't know exactly how)
[00:44] <dtchen> peij: the kubuntu developers feel that pulse is not yet ready (which is a sentiment i share, since the Qt/KDE gui bits are just now being developed)
[00:44] <dezert> Minimec: ok, i'll give it a try, thanks :)
[00:44] <jjg> dare .. setting that up now
[00:44] <Saruji> jdu so.....after I did init 1, you were right yes it kicked me out of X, then I got a prompt to either 1)resume 2) run config 3)boot into root sheel<---- is this the one I should run?
[00:44] <dare> jjg, then you can see whether it is fault with installer/setup or poor quality media (or burned at too fast speed)
[00:44] <Orange_v_Blue> I'm having some sort of multimedia issue. I get little skips in anything I play, in any player, except when I mouse over (and it plays itself). It's entirely frustrating, and comes and goes-Some days it won't do it at all, but most of the time it's there. This also makes it difficult to diagnose. Any ideas or help on eliminating this? thanks
[00:44] <Guest72311> my monitor wont change res stuck in 800x600
[00:44] <peij> dtchen, jdu, thanks a lot for the explanation.
[00:44] <jdu> Saruji, yes
[00:44] <Saruji> jdu thx
[00:44] <Guest72311> using ubuntu 8.04
[00:44] <Saruji> jdu here we go again :D
[00:44] <earthen> Saruji, when I install the latest driver for my 64 bit ubuntu i followed this How too http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=57368
[00:44] <Guest72311> : (
[00:45] <Orange_v_Blue> Guest72311: Is it a laptop or a desktop?
[00:45] <Saruji> sweet thx
[00:45] <peij> dtchen: i've also heard about esound. Is it like pulse ? is it a good idea to replace pulse by esound ?
[00:45] <dare> jjg, are you using cd-r/cd-rw?
[00:45] <peij> dtchen: (sorry for my english :/)
[00:45] <dtchen> peij: pulseaudio replaces esound completely
[00:45] <jjg> dare cd-r
[00:45] <lb_> Good evening! I need some help for bash. :( I am running a program on my windows partition and its path is supposed to be in a shell variable:  $ program="/mnt/windos/Program\ Files/Application1/app \n $ $program $params $file  Problem: However I encode the whitespace (plain " " or "\ ") and if I use single or double quotes - my shell always tells me that "...Program" or "...Program\" is not found - No such file or directory
[00:45] <dare> jjg, it took me many burns to get the installer to work when i used cd-rw many years ago
[00:46] <lb_> what am I doin wrong :(
[00:46]  * jjg sigh
[00:46] <phreak> ok im a noob  have a question im tweeking my install and i wana stop kde from saving a copy of every text i edit were do i find that preference i been searching net and files any help here
[00:46] <jdu> peij, some people use JACK which is better if you are _serious_ about your sound
[00:46] <dare> jjg, try burning at slowest speed your burner allows
[00:46] <jdu> peij, but complicated for most people including me
[00:46] <peij> dtchen: oki, but the fact that it's buggy scares me a little.
[00:46] <jjg> dare, ok thanks
[00:46] <dtchen> jdu: beware the largely arbitrary and artificial distinction in that regard. jackd is for professional audio; pulseaudio is for standard desktop audio.
[00:46] <peij> jdu: I don't think i'll try this then ;)
[00:47] <dare> jjg, and perform verification of disc against iso right after burning to save yourself from wasting your time
[00:47] <jjg> dare .. ok, thanks
[00:47] <jdu> dtchen, good point
[00:47] <jdu> dtchen, I should be less assuming.  using alsa and pulseaudio now atm anyway
[00:48] <dare> jjg, or order install cd's and wait several weeks :-)
[00:48] <peij> dtchen: last question if you don't mind
[00:48] <Saruji_> lol ok and one more time
[00:48] <phreak> ok im a noob  have a question im tweeking my install and i wana stop kde from saving a copy of every text i edit were do i find that preference i been searching net and files any help here
[00:48] <earthen> I'm trying to open the Listening port for Transmission, i've setup port forwarding and still it says the port is close is there something else i need to do in ubuntu to open it?
[00:49] <peij> dtchen: you said that pulse can manage sound outputs for each application, but kmix doesn't seam to offer this ability, should I install another mixer instead ?
[00:49] <Dr_Willis> phreak:  you mean you want to stop 'kate' from making 'backups' ? that should be in the kate settings somewhere.
[00:49] <stroyan> lb_:  Your problem may be a simple typo hiding in the $program.  Try "echo $program" and "ls $program".  Reduce $program to a prefix part of the full path and try again.
[00:49] <sexy-coder-girl> earthen, when I had that problem I my firewall blocking that port.
[00:50] <peij> dtchen: cause this functionnality exists under windows seven, and i really like it :)
[00:50] <phreak> ill look into kate thanks
[00:50] <Legendario> Dr_Willis, can u help me on this task?
[00:50] <earthen> sexy-coder-girl, I don't have a firewall running other than the one on my router that i setup the port forwarding on
[00:51] <synfin> Can I pass a bash function to a script or command?  e.g., find . -iname 'something' -exec FANCY_FUNCTION {} \; ?
[00:51] <newbyx86> Pass a bash function to a script? Like pass the output?
[00:51] <synfin> No
[00:51] <sexy-coder-girl> earthen, *shrug*
[00:51] <earthen> sexy-coder-girl, as far as i know ubuntu doesn't come with one by default
[00:51] <synfin> I mean, pass a function like you could pass a script to execute.  So execute a function iinstead of a script.
[00:51] <jdu> synfin, clarify please?
[00:51] <sexy-coder-girl> earthen, what about iptables? :)
[00:52] <earthen> sexy-coder-girl, ok thanks I'm at a loss to atm :-/
[00:52] <earthen> sexy-coder-girl, yes it there but it has no rules setup i think
[00:52] <jdu> sexy-coder-girl, by default, ubuntu uses ufw
[00:52] <synfin> Example.  I want to use the -exec option of find.  Normally I could pass it a bash script `-exec  SOME_SCRIPT.sh {}`, and all would be dandy.  But I want to pass it a predefined bash function, `-exec SOME_FUNCTION {}`
[00:52] <sexy-coder-girl> jdu, ah
[00:53] <dezert> minimec: I still have low resolution :(
[00:53] <jdu> sexy-coder-girl, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuFirewall
[00:53] <dtchen> peij: kmix is only a mixer gui; it doesn't care what's providing the underlying mixer. in your case, pulseaudio is providing it (when in fact pulseaudio is just abstracting the underlying alsa hw:)
[00:53] <minimec> dezert: Can you pastebin your 'new' /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
[00:53] <earthen> sexy-coder-girl, I all ways thought ubuntu's way of having a firewall was just to not have any services running the were listening on any ports
[00:53] <bacon1989> Hi, I was wondering if it would be  abad idea to transfer my hard drive with the Ubuntu OS over to a new ccomputer
[00:53] <sexy-coder-girl> earthen, I duuno, anyway, on a fresh install, what I did when I had that problem is `sudo apt-get install firestarter` then in its settings I allowed incoming to that port that Transmission uses. Not saying that *this* is why you're having problem; just saying that it helped me.
[00:54] <thiebaude> !ufw
[00:54] <Dr_Willis> Legendario:  ive not added any entries to xorg.conf in years.. when i last had to - i used some 'xmodeline' generator web site.. but im not even sure it generates proper x modeline info any more for the X versions out.
[00:54] <bacon1989> would I have compatbilitiy issues?
[00:54] <jdu> bacon1989, should be no problem
[00:54] <bacon1989> ok, i'll give that a try
[00:54] <dezert> Minimec: here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/248924/
[00:54] <jdu> bacon1989, ubuntu's default kernel is very generic and will manage just fine with a change.
[00:54] <Orange_v_Blue> I'm having some sort of multimedia issue. I get little skips in anything I play, in any player, except when I mouse over (and it plays itself). It's entirely frustrating, and comes and goes-Some days it won't do it at all, but most of the time it's there. This also makes it difficult to diagnose. Any ideas or help on eliminating this? thanks
[00:54] <bacon1989> awesome! i'm using server edition
[00:55] <lb_> thanks, stroyan. Trying that. The problem was in the space charactor of the folder name "Program Files". It is echo'd just right. ls is interesting: it says "cannot access /mnt/windos/Program\Files/Appli[...]" - there should have been an escaped whitespace though, I wonder what happened. :-O
[00:55] <bacon1989> any diff?
[00:55] <Legendario> Dr_Willis, I am willing to try. Do you still have it's address?
[00:55] <earthen> sexy-coder-girl, ok thanks then maybe it is something i have to do in ubuntu
[00:55] <minimec> dezert: Ok. Now you are using the vesa driver. ;)
[00:55] <jdu> bacon1989, I don't think so
[00:55] <jdu> bacon1989, but I haven't experimented with that so much.
[00:55] <dezert> Minimec: is that good? :))
[00:55] <minimec> dezert: Open <Alt>F2 gksudo gedit
[00:55] <bacon1989> ok, thanks for the advice. I'll give it a try
[00:55] <peij> dtchen: Oki, thank you again for everything, your help was very precious !
[00:56] <jdu> bacon1989, with regard to moving hard drives
[00:56] <lb_> stroyan: No, sorry, that was just a typo. With the space after the backslash, it's the same with ls: "No such file or directory"
[00:56] <Orange_v_Blue> I'm having some sort of multimedia issue. I get little skips in anything I play, in any player, except when I mouse over (and it plays itself). It's entirely frustrating, and comes and goes-Some days it won't do it at all, but most of the time it's there. This also makes it difficult to diagnose. Any ideas or help on eliminating this? thanks
[00:56] <jdu> synfin, did you get your answer?
[00:56] <minimec> Then open the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. Attention! WE are 'root' now ;)
[00:56] <dezert> Minimec: ok
[00:57] <dtchen> peij: np
[00:57] <jdu> Orange_v_Blue, what player are you using?  You might try a different one.
[00:57] <synfin> jdu: No
[00:58] <minimec> dezert: In your pastebin in line 23 Driver "vesa" , do a '#' in front of it like in the first line '# xorg.conf (X.Org ...'
[00:58] <jdu> synfin, was the question whether it would work with a user defined bash function?  or did I still not understand.  If so, yes it should work
[00:58] <Orange_v_Blue> jdu: that's the thing, I have... Movie player, movie player w/xine backend, VLC, and amarok 1.4 (I downgraded) all do this... :/
[00:59] <synfin> jdu: That is correct.  Let me come up with a test on my box.
[00:59] <dezert> Minimec: where do you want me to do that? in xorg.conf?
[00:59] <Orange_v_Blue> jdu: for a while, switching worked, but then they each ultimately failed...for a while, killing a couple processes helped sometimes, but not always, and not anymore.
[00:59] <jdu> Orange_v_Blue, then I doubt I can help.
[01:00] <Orange_v_Blue> jdu: any ideas where else to look, in terms of search terms? I'm having a hard time with that part...
[01:00] <minimec> dezert: Yes. in xorg.conf '#' at the beginnig of the line 'Driver "vesa"' Like that, the line is ignored by the system...
[01:00] <jdu> Orange_v_Blue, you might switch away from pulseaudio or look around to see if there is a driver problem with your card (always possible)
[01:01] <Orange_v_Blue> jdu: no card, probably onboard (it's a laptop). I don't even know what pulseaudio really is/does...
[01:01] <minimec> dezert: Save the file like that, clode all software and simply logout. You should see an effect... I hope ;)
[01:01] <thiebaude> !pulseaudio
[01:01] <zorba_> Hi
[01:01] <Orange_v_Blue> jdu: i'm not very good at media, so of course that's what's breaking
[01:01] <jdu> Orange_v_Blue, pulseaudio is a sound server on top of alsa that applications can use to play sound.
[01:01] <Orange_v_Blue> thiebaud: thanks
[01:01] <zorba_> How do you X forward an application that is already open on a remote box?
[01:01] <dezert> Minimec: ok, i'll give it a try :)
[01:01] <thiebaude> Orange_v_Blue, np
[01:02] <thiebaude> Orange_v_Blue, you got your codecs?
[01:02] <Orange_v_Blue> thiebaud: I've gotta learn how to use that thing....
[01:02] <Orange_v_Blue> thiebaud: ... good, bad, and ugly, or renamed equivalent? yes
[01:02] <jdu> zorba_,  ssh -Y username@ip     then appname &
[01:02] <Orange_v_Blue> it plays, it just plays crappy :-)
[01:02] <zorba_> jdu wouldn't that make a new instance of the app?
[01:02] <thiebaude> Orange_v_Blue, stuff like wmv. codecs
[01:03] <vanita> is it possible to get an agere mpc13a-20 mini pci card working with ubuntu?
[01:03] <vanita> it's a 802.11b card built into this toshiba 6100
[01:03] <DaveX> network manager inst detecting any of my devices after upgrade to Juanty
[01:03] <jdu> zorba_, missed the already open part.   It would make another instance or not work.
[01:03] <mattwj2002> hi guys
[01:03] <zorba_> yea, i want the existing instnce
[01:03] <DaveX> however i can connect to the net fine, and firestarter detects them
[01:03] <zorba_> I am trying to pull my pidgin windows from my work box to see if anyone messaged me
[01:03] <mattwj2002> I have question
[01:03] <zorba_> guess i can just check the logs
[01:03] <Orange_v_Blue> thiebaud, i might, but i have no clue, really. Almost everything I have is mp3s. I should look at that more closely, though, that's a point I hadn't really looked at too close
[01:04] <mattwj2002> anyone have a clue if this will work with ubuntu?
[01:04] <mattwj2002> http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=103&cp_id=10304&cs_id=1030401&p_id=48&seq=1&format=3#specification
[01:04] <jdu> zorba_, as far as I know, the closest you can get to viewing an already open program is to use vnc or someting
[01:04] <jdu> zorba_, true
[01:04] <synfin> jdu: -exec is expecting to find a file to  execute.  It bombs on a function call.
[01:04] <zorba_> yea :/ vnc isn't as secure I have heard
[01:04] <thiebaude> Orange_v_Blue, so, video is a problem?
[01:04] <mattwj2002> I can't find any information about what chipset it has and the online tech support had no information on it either
[01:04] <jdu> synfin, odd.  what do you have after the command.  is it  {} +
[01:04] <Orange_v_Blue> thiebaud The actual video plays, but the sound will skip a bit sometimes
[01:04] <synfin> {} \;
[01:04] <zorba_> mattwj2002... seems like a basic PCI usb card should be fine
[01:04] <synfin> jdu: {} \;
[01:04] <DaveX> network manager inst detecting any of my devices after upgrade to Juanty
[01:05] <DaveX> however i can connect to the net fine, and firestarter detects them
[01:05] <mattwj2002> for the price I was thinking I would risk it
[01:05] <mattwj2002> :)
[01:05] <zorba_> lol yea
[01:05] <zorba_> no problems mate
[01:05] <thiebaude> Orange_v_Blue, you on 9.04?
[01:05] <finga> can you help my with a alsa problem? my soundcard worked perfect, but after a hangup while a reboot it crackles extremly
[01:05] <jdu> synfin, hmm
[01:05] <Orange_v_Blue> thiebaud yes
[01:05] <dtchen> finga: adjust the volume settings
[01:05] <thiebaude> ok
[01:06] <mattwj2002> I could just about pay for it with change under my couch :P
[01:06] <jdu> synfin, does the function exit with a 0 exit status?
[01:06] <finga> dtchen: it has nothing to do with the gain
[01:06] <Orange_v_Blue> thiebaude hey I should remember that final e in your nick, it might help
[01:06] <thiebaude> Orange_v_Blue, audio shutters?
[01:07] <deejoe> moo
[01:07] <dtchen> finga: how have you concluded that?
[01:07] <thiebaude> Orange_v_Blue, you said laptop?
[01:07] <synfin> jdu: yes, 0
[01:07] <proq> is this the right room for karmic alpha questions?
[01:07] <dezert> Minimec: It worked :)))   Thanks a lot for your help. I appreciate it :)
[01:07] <minimec> dezert: np ;)
[01:07] <Orange_v_Blue> thiebaude yes on the second one, but what do you mean audio shutters...
[01:07] <jdu> synfin, well I'm not sure what's wrong, but you could instead pipe the output of find into xargs yourcommand
[01:08] <finga> because its the same volume it was bevore, i have a moto interface which runns stand alone and has a VU-meter on it and its exactlich -0,5 dB bevore 0 dB peak
[01:08] <thiebaude> Orange_v_Blue, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/totem/+bug/369587
[01:08] <jdu> synfin, so   find . etc. | xargs command
[01:08] <DaveX> network manager inst detecting any of my devices after upgrade to Juanty
[01:08] <DaveX> however i can connect to the net fine, and firestarter detects them
[01:08] <synfin> jdu: k
[01:08] <thiebaude> Orange_v_Blue, im not sure if thats the problem or not in that link i just gave you
[01:08] <Orange_v_Blue> thiebaude that link doesn't look like good news! :D
[01:08] <jdu> synfin, might fix it
[01:08] <jdu> synfin, at least it won't be find's fault if that fails
[01:09] <thiebaude> Orange_v_Blue, yea,  and im not just how to fix your problem
[01:09] <Orange_v_Blue> thiebaude It doesn't look like quite the right problem, it's not just video
[01:09] <Orange_v_Blue> thiebaude naw it's okay, I'm just glad you're as stumped as I am! Now I don't feel so bad...
[01:09] <proq> does anyone know how to autologin in karmic koala?  the autologin options moved and gdm.conf-custom moved as well, which leaves me no gui or cli to set autologin
[01:10] <Orange_v_Blue> thiebaude I mean, it'd be preferable if it was fixable, but if nothing else, that's nice
[01:10] <benjamim_> Hey people ! Ubuntu Podcast will begin in 15min
[01:10] <benjamim_> http://ubuntupodcast.net/live-stream/
[01:10] <benjamim_> take a look
[01:10] <benjamim_> LiveStream
[01:10] <finga> dtchen: because its the same volume it was bevore, i have a moto interface which runns stand alone and has a VU-meter on it and its exactlich -0,5 dB peak
[01:10] <thiebaude> benjamim_, thanks
[01:10] <thiebaude> i remember that now
[01:10] <proq> also, does anyone know how to use .xsession for login in gdm in karmic koala?  it's only giving me the options to use gnome or xterm in the session
[01:11] <bucky> Orange_v_Blue: i ended up --purging all the alsa and pulseaudio stuf and doing this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenSound
[01:11] <synfin> jdu: understood
[01:11] <dtchen> finga: are you using only native alsa (no pulseaudio)?
[01:11] <bucky> Orange_v_Blue: i also installed other supporting packages
[01:11] <Orange_v_Blue> bucky: similar problem? audio skipping in music and video?
[01:12] <benjamim_> ;)
[01:12] <jdu> proq, doubt many here use karmic yet   #ubuntu+1    however, you could use startx
[01:12] <bucky> Orange_v_Blue: esound-clients esound-common libasound2 libasound2-plugins linux-sound-base and flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound
[01:12] <finga> dtchen: in the alsa mixer i've choosed HDA NVidia (alsa mixer) but there 5 to choose 3 of them are pulseaudio
[01:13] <bucky> Orange_v_Blue: no.. since alsa has dropped alsaconf  alsa could not figure out that my sound was an ac97 not an nvidia chipset
[01:13] <thiebaude> benjamim_, the sound is off in their,now?
[01:13] <finga> dtchen if its help its the standard ubuntu jaunty settings
[01:13] <Orange_v_Blue> bucky: but it may help anyway?
[01:13] <EscobarX> .
[01:13] <Orange_v_Blue> bucky: because I'm almost at "whatever it takes"
[01:13] <bucky> Orange_v_Blue: i think so
[01:13] <bucky> i like oss
[01:13] <bucky> it just worked
[01:13] <bucky> less modules less memory
[01:14] <bucky> Orange_v_Blue: get the deb http://www.opensound.com/download.cgi
[01:14] <Orange_v_Blue> bucky: thanks, that's encouraging

[01:15] <tavi> Hey all, I'd like to add something to the top panel in Gnome that would automatically cd into a given directory if i click it--how would i do this?
[01:16] <isnoop> Is there any way to enable copy-on-select in the default terminal for Jaunty?
[01:16] <EscobarX> tavi
[01:16] <EscobarX> drag the folder
[01:16] <Orange_v_Blue> bucky: did you pay for OSS??
[01:16] <bucky> no
[01:16] <EscobarX> to the top and it will stay ther
[01:16] <lotus> tavi, do you want to open a terminal in a specific folder?
[01:16] <tavi> lotus: yeah
[01:16] <Orange_v_Blue> bucky: is that just for longer support, or what?
[01:17] <bucky> Orange_v_Blue: i don't know.. haven't got any email or anything from them
[01:17] <DanDoolini> off topic: how has investing been in S&P during last couple of years?
[01:17] <Jan|> i just installed the latest stable desktop version and want to know how to update firefox with synaptic
[01:17] <Orange_v_Blue> bucky: how long ago did you switch?
[01:17] <lotus> tavi, I don't know how to keep xterm open, but "xterm -e 'cd /home/'" would work if you could figure out that last part
[01:17] <bucky> Orange_v_Blue: they have a freenode channel too  #oss
[01:17] <Orange_v_Blue> bucky: ooh!
[01:17] <bucky> Orange_v_Blue: right after i installed jaunty and i have all the upgrades current
[01:18] <vanita> is there support for the agere mpc13a-20 wireless mini pci card?
[01:18] <dtchen> bucky: AC'97 is a specification, not a sound card
[01:18] <dtchen> finga: what ui are you looking at?
[01:18] <tavi> lotus: thanks :)
[01:18] <PerryArmstrong> we have 60 systems in lab with hardy heron and we are planning to install a server...can the server be of any version of ubuntu
[01:18] <finga> dtchen ui?
[01:19] <bucky> dtchen: then why can't alsa deal with it now?
[01:19] <bucky>  i want alsaconf
[01:19] <finga> dtchen gnome
[01:19] <bucky> i want xorg.conf
[01:19] <dtchen> bucky: why? alsaconf is deprecated. udev is what handles things properly now.
[01:19] <lotus> tavi, use '-hold'
[01:20] <bastidrazor> PerryArmstrong, of course. 8.04 LTS might be a good choice but that is completely your call.
[01:20] <dtchen> bucky: and if udev doesn't handle them, it's a bug in linux
[01:20] <lotus> tavi, it would be something like 'xterm -e "cd /home" -hold
[01:20] <bucky> that could be
[01:20] <tavi> lotus: awesome :D
[01:20] <jdu> PerryArmstrong, yes
[01:20] <dtchen> finga: meaning, are you using the gnome volume control applet, the sound preferences, or alsamixer in a terminal?
[01:20] <MyNameIsLuca> Hmm, why is "#wine" invite only now (wasnt yesterday)...
[01:21] <PerryArmstrong> bastidrazor, jdu; i have the 8.04 server edition...i dont know if its 32 bit or 64 bit...i got it from someone....the systems are installed with 32 bit hardy
[01:21] <bucky> MyNameIsLuca: too many ubuntu users over there asking faq questions
[01:21] <losher> PerryArmstrong: it can be any version, and doesn't even have to be Ubuntu. But I recommend 8.04 for a server for best stability...
[01:21] <bastidrazor> MyNameIsLuca, #winehq is the wine channel
[01:21] <minimec> MyNameIsLuca: They are having Cybersex... *3rofl* #OffTopic ;)
[01:21] <MyNameIsLuca> This does now please the coalision of the army of 500.000 monkeys
[01:21] <bucky> is there a wine and cheeze channel ?
[01:22] <finga> dtchen: i think its the gnome volume control i use a standard setup from debian jaunty with the standard mixer in the upper bar
[01:22] <MyNameIsLuca> Thanks bastid_razor
[01:22] <jdu> PerryArmstrong, ditto losher
[01:22] <bastidrazor> PerryArmstrong,  uname -a will tell you which arch you're running
[01:22] <Jan|> synaptic says Ive got the 3.0.13+nobinonly-0ubuntu<IP_ADDRESS> package, do I have to uninstall before upgrading?
[01:22] <PerryArmstrong> losher; then in case of package updations then how will it be possible...since packages of server and clients should be same
[01:22] <Evet> Which hosting provider do you suggest, in europe?
[01:22] <MyNameIsLuca> minimec: Omfg! Lol ? :)
[01:22] <finga> dtchen: i tried alsaconfig but i get command not found, but alsa-utils is installed
[01:22] <PerryArmstrong> bastidazor; i meant i have the cd of the server edition which is not yet installed....
[01:23] <dtchen> finga: we don't ship alsaconf. it's broken.
[01:23] <PerryArmstrong> bastidrazor; i meant i have the cd of the server edition which is not yet installed....
[01:23] <finga> dtchen: oh ok
[01:23] <dtchen> finga: also, if you use the gnome sound preferences, make sure they're set to Autodetect
[01:24] <bastidrazor> PerryArmstrong, oh. you can download the version you want fairly quickly from http://releases.ubuntu.com/

[01:24] <markl_> anyone here good with xargs?
[01:24] <MyNameIsLuca> Plants
[01:25] <jrib> markl_: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line)
[01:25] <finga> dtchen: i have all on autodetect, it worked bevore i did an reboot where ubuntu hang up, now it i got a crackle if i play something
[01:25] <markl_> how do i get xargs to put quotes around each of the arguments
[01:25] <MyNameIsLuca> markl_: Odd question... good ?
[01:25] <EscobarX> hi,  is there anyway to run wubi under windows 7 , and actually make it work with dual boot, I ve tried and it does`t show the dual boot, :
[01:25] <jiohdi> if you use alt-ctrl f1 what do you type to return to gnome?
[01:25] <dtchen> finga: please use "ubuntu-bug pulseaudio"
[01:25] <finga> dtchen: i will send you the only one errors i got if i enter sudo alsa force-reload
[01:25] <MyNameIsLuca> xargs '{}' \
[01:25] <jrib> markl_: what do you want to accomplish?
[01:25] <finga> dtchen: how do i use it?
[01:25] <bastidrazor> jiohdi, alt ctrl F7
[01:25] <losher> PerryArmstrong: in general that isn't true. Server and client don't have to run the same package versions. Most programs that communicate between systems e.g. ssh, nfs, ftp, samba interoperate happily across a wide number of versions (within reason). Your server could be bsd, windows, solaris, linux, any number of things & still interoperate...
[01:26] <MyNameIsLuca> Youre capten jack sparrow!
[01:26] <antonius602> what's the easiest way to share files between 2 linux computers over LAN
[01:26] <imran> Anyone here who can help with my installing of "Unreal Tournament (99, GOTYE)
[01:26] <markl_> MyNameIsLuca: so: find . -type f -print | xargs '{}
[01:26] <markl_> '
[01:26] <markl_> ?
[01:26] <markl_> and it wont' choke on files with spaces?
[01:26] <dtchen> finga: just type that command
[01:26] <mattwj2002> antonius602 personally I like samba
[01:26] <mattwj2002> :)
[01:26] <mazda01> anyone help with me with a ntfs smb share problem. i can't get write access to the share? here's my forum post. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7742764#post7742764
[01:26] <jrib> markl_: You should read about the -print0 switch in find's man page.
[01:26] <ghindo> antonius602, Samba, SSH, NFS...there are lots of ways.  I like SSH.
[01:26] <bucky> PerryArmstrong: so what version of ubuntu are you using now/
[01:27] <jiohdi> bastidrazor, if something has locked up... how do I find it in terminal (alt-ctrl-f1) to shut it down?
[01:27] <EscobarX> hi,  is there anyway to run wubi under windows 7 , and actually make it work with dual boot, I ve tried and it does`t show the dual boot, :
[01:27] <losher> antonius602: depends on the requirements. Do you need to constant up-to-date accesss to each others files or just copy the occasional file between systems?
[01:27] <MyNameIsLuca> markl_: find /marks/directory -type d -exec chmod 777  -v {} \;
[01:27] <antonius602> mattwj2002 : there really isn't a simple program, like setting up a windows workgroup?
[01:27] <finga> dtchen i did
[01:27] <PerryArmstrong> losher; that's cool....so i am installing the server for one main reason.....for package updations...like there's a concept that the server will cache locally all the packages..and when clients request the packages...the server it will be installed from the serve than from the internet
[01:27] <antonius602> losher : constant access is what i'm trying to acheive..preferably integrated into nautilus
[01:28] <bastidrazor> jiohdi, what something is it? if it is an application use ps aux|grep applicationname  .. but what exactly is locked up?
[01:28] <MyNameIsLuca> markl_: makes all dirs have chmod 777 ... ("-d") ... use "-f" for files
[01:28] <mattwj2002> hmmm
[01:28] <LLStarks> hi. is there a proper way to request a package update for karmic?
[01:28] <jrib> LLStarks: #ubuntu-motu
[01:28] <PerryArmstrong> bucky; i use jaunty....we have a lab at college dedicated to ubuntu...we are running a GLUG and an FSF movement at our college
[01:28] <mattwj2002> yeah I guess samba isn't that simple
[01:28] <losher> antonius602: then your choice is basically samba or nfs. Someone else will have to advise you on nautilus integration...
[01:28] <mattwj2002> but I think it is the best
[01:28] <ghindo> LLStarks, You might also want to ask in #ubuntu+1
[01:28] <Hilikus_> how do i reset the file type associations in firefox to the default ubunt ones?
[01:28] <markl_> MyNameIsLuca: yeah i know how to do it with find, i just wanted to learn how to do with xargs
[01:28] <MyNameIsLuca> Savvy ?
[01:28] <jiohdi> bastidrazor, I was running firefox in wine and it locked up everything but the cursor, I could get to terminal but did not know what to do from there
[01:28] <markl_> MyNameIsLuca: so it won't exec a new process for each file
[01:29] <markl_> jrib: ok cool i'll look at that option
[01:29] <MyNameIsLuca> markl_: spawn
[01:29] <MyNameIsLuca> Or fork()
[01:29] <antonius602> losher:  i've done it before..but it was quite a pain...was thinking time had passed and somebody made a graphical  program thats easy to use...thanks
[01:29] <PerryArmstrong> losher, bastidrazor, jdu, can you have a look at this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1228878
[01:29] <th0r> jiohdi: type 'ps ax | grep wine' and kill the process that is running firefox

[01:29] <DaveX> however i can connect to the net fine, and firestarter detects them
[01:29] <losher> PerryArmstrong: if you run the same version of Ubuntu on client & server, then you can indeed update just one machine via the internet & then share the downloaded files among all the other ones.
[01:30] <komputes> Hilikus_: "Edit > Preferences > Applications" in firefox
[01:30] <bastidrazor> jiohdi, you could kill wine? ps aux| grep wine  then kill -9 theFirstsetofnumbers
[01:30] <mattwj2002> !samba
[01:30] <aboSamoor> dtchen, any updates regarding the conexant chip bug ?
[01:30] <PerryArmstrong> losher; i have the cd from canonical...but it isn't mentioned if its 32 bit or 64 bit
[01:30] <ghindo> antonius602, SSH is pretty easy too.  Just install the ssh package and then use Nautilus to connect.
[01:30] <losher> antonius602: sorry, I don't use the gui stuff. I believe samba shares can be set up via nautilus...
[01:30] <bastidrazor> jiohdi, are you one gnome?
[01:30] <Hilikus_> komputes: ok and there how do i reset them all to what they were originally? which is what i asked?
[01:30] <aaroninfidel> anyone know of a good irc channel for video converting?

[01:31] <hyperion__> aaroninfidel, avidemux?
[01:31] <jiohdi> bastidrazor, yes, I am using ubuntu and from what I have read, it is gnome, right?
[01:31] <jrib> aaroninfidel: #ffmpeg I guess
[01:31] <MyNameIsLuca> aboSamoor: If it works its good for your platform.
[01:31] <mattwj2002> antonius602 I thought there was a nice gui for setting up samba shares but I can't remember what the name of the program is anymore
[01:31] <[gloom]> hi there. I want to connect to an ubuntu pc remotely, which is not running any desktop (runlevel 2). AFAIK VNC needs a desktop running, and the VNCServer of course. I can always use forward X, and start 1 application. Is there any way to forward the entire desktop ((i.e gnome with the panels and everything else)) without the desktop itself  running on the remote machine?
[01:31] <mattwj2002> :(
[01:31] <mattwj2002> !samba-gui
[01:31] <peij> imran: you have to download the installer on their website, If I remember well, it's very easy
[01:31] <losher> PerryArmstrong: if it doesn't explicitly mention 64 bit, then it's almost certainly 32 bit. Running 8.04 on all machines would be a perfectly reasonable thing to do...
[01:31] <dtchen> aboSamoor: no, i'm continually assaulted by irrevelant bugs ATM
[01:31] <bastidrazor> jiohdi, yes it is gnome.. if killing wine doesn't help you could restart gnome with sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[01:32] <mazda01> WOW, this channel moves fast. can anyone even see my question?  mythconverg_restore.pl --change_hostname --old_hostname="XXXX" --new_hostname="YYYY"
[01:32] <jrib> !vnc > [gloom]
[01:32] <jiohdi> bastidrazor, thanks... I found that one online, but that is like a soft reboot
[01:32] <jrib> [gloom]: see if that page helps (not sure if it does or not)
[01:32] <mattwj2002> !samba
[01:32] <PerryArmstrong> losher; yes i am going forward with 8.04...
[01:32] <jdu> [gloom], with a combination of ssh and xephyr
[01:32] <jdu> yes
[01:32] <MyNameIsLuca> mattwj2002: Maybe you mean "gadmin-samba" ?
[01:32] <antonius602> mattwj2002 :  I will go ahead and look for it...thanks for the heads up..
[01:32] <bucky> !gadmin-samba
[01:32] <mattwj2002> your welcome
[01:32] <jjg> dare, i changed media and looks like things might be working .. i'm definitely farther aong in the installation process .. thanks for the help
[01:32] <mattwj2002> :)
[01:32] <jrib> mazda01: I see the "can anyone sse my question" question....
[01:32] <bastidrazor> jiohdi, somewhat, it just kills gnome and restarts X. you don't actually restart the box just X
[01:32] <MyNameIsLuca> eek!
[01:32] <bucky> !info gadmin-samba
[01:33] <komputes> Hilikus_: don't think that's a feature, you may want to request it. Otherwise, does creating a new profile reset it to defaults? Press Alt-F2 and enter the command "firefox -ProfileManager"
[01:33] <jrib> !helpme | mazda01
[01:33] <Hilikus_> komputes: i'll try that
[01:33] <jiohdi> bastidrazor, yup, its a good quick reboot better than a full reboot, but it would be nice to kill just the offending program
[01:33] <ghindo> If antonius602 is just trying to connect between two Linux boxes, then Samba might not be the most appropriate choice
[01:33] <bastidrazor> jiohdi,  have you tried to kill wine?
[01:34] <mattwj2002> you recommend nfs?
[01:34] <antonius602> ghindo : yeah, i'm going nfs
[01:34] <MyNameIsLuca> !Who have ever updated you ?
[01:34] <jiohdi> bastidrazor, the problem has past, I am trying to increase my understanding for next time :)
[01:34] <jrib> antonius602, ghindo: it's probably the easiest way to do it since you can do everything through the gui
[01:34] <Hilikus_> why am i getting a "wrong architechture i386" error when trying to install a package i downloaded. i'm using ubuntu64, but i thought 64 was totatly compatible with i386
[01:34] <antonius602> nautilus has built in support
[01:34] <PerryArmstrong> losher, bastidrazor, jdu, can you have a look at this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1228878
[01:34] <MyNameIsLuca> !how to teach you ?

[01:34] <antonius602> jrib : nfs through gui?
[01:34] <geophysics> how can I understand my ubuntu is installed on which part of my hdd ?   /dev/sda??    ?
[01:34] <bastidrazor> jiohdi, running firefox in wine doesn't make a lot of sense. it runs great natively.
[01:34] <jrib> antonius602: no, when you right click -> share, it uses samba
[01:35] <antonius602> ahhh
[01:35] <DaveX> nevermind i fixed the problem
[01:35] <jrib> geophysics: read /etc/fstab
[01:35] <DaveX> thanks for not helping
[01:35] <jiohdi> bastidrazor, not with ms oriffice lies... it refuses linux
[01:35] <DaveX> assholes
[01:35] <MyNameIsLuca> ubottu needs to learn
[01:35] <jrib> DaveX: thanks for your great attitude.
[01:35] <losher> PerryArmstrong: note that even if the server  is not the right os/version, you can still achieve substantial savings by making all the clients run the same version. Then you only need to update one client & from it you can copy the updates to the other 59 machines & still be massively ahead...
[01:35] <mattwj2002> !language | DaveX
[01:35] <mazda01> ubottu, sorry, that documentation is old and incorrect. cifs error: WARNING: CIFS mount option 'fmask' is deprecated. Use 'file_mode' instead. when I try dir_mode and file_mode=0777  it doesn't allow write access so I am trying to get help with this
[01:35] <jiohdi> bastidrazor, firefox in wine works just fine with office live

[01:36] <losher> PerryArmstrong: I see the link you posted. Are those *your* requirements?
[01:36] <bucky> MyNameIsLuca: i think you're nice :)
[01:36] <bastidrazor> jiohdi,  ah. good luck
[01:36] <Hilikus_> why am i getting a "wrong architechture i386" error when trying to install a package i downloaded. i'm using ubuntu64, but i thought 64 was totatly compatible with i386
[01:36] <MyNameIsLuca> Roland1: Please stop spamming the US military. Agreed ?
[01:36] <PerryArmstrong> losher; this is interesting....i dont remember the term used for locally caching the packages...do you know that
[01:36] <jiohdi> bastidrazor, I would not bother but that I have a webpage that I need to fix from time to time and cannot do it from native linux
[01:36] <mattwj2002> yeah as far as the whole samba versus nfs thing.......
[01:36] <PerryArmstrong> losher; yes
[01:36] <jrib> Hilikus_: that doesn't mean you can instal i386 packages.  Why don't you tell us what you are doing?
[01:36] <Roland1> MyNameIsLuca: How do i spam it?
[01:36] <peij> imran: ok, so I can't help you, id installed this a looong time ago :/
[01:36] <mazda01> file_mode=0777 and dir_mode=0777 mount the share with only read and execute permissions, hence why I am asking for help
[01:37] <mattwj2002> I prefer samba because I assume that people have at least one windows box laying around
[01:37] <MyNameIsLuca> Roland1: .
[01:37] <PerryArmstrong> losher; yes those are the functionalities which i expect the server to be having
[01:37] <mattwj2002> maybe that is a bad assumation
[01:37] <mattwj2002> :)
[01:37] <Roland1> MyNameIsLuca: What are you talking about?
[01:37] <Hilikus_> jrib: thats what i'm doing. trying to understand why a binary package is not working since in my head i thought x64 was compatible with x86
[01:38] <bucky> samba rocks
[01:38] <fizk_> Hey guys, I need 3 people to test a Karmic -> Janty backport package of Nicotine+:
[01:38] <fizk_> https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-backporters/+archive/ppa
[01:38] <MyNameIsLuca> Roland1: Perhaps you wish to calm down (Yodah style) ?
[01:38] <jrib> Hilikus_: you can't install i386 packages on amd64.  What are you trying to install?
[01:38] <MyNameIsLuca> estpak.ee
[01:38] <Hilikus_> i just need to install something, there's nothing more to it. i downloaded it compiled. i don't want to install a million packages to be able to compile it myself
[01:38] <mazda01> jrib, maybe you can help.
[01:38] <fizk_> Does anyone already use Nicotine+?
[01:38] <Hilikus_> jrib: http://code.google.com/p/glogscrobbler/
[01:39] <Hilikus_> that
[01:39] <jrib> mazda01: I don't know what your question is
[01:39] <Hilikus_> last.fm submitter
[01:39] <MyNameIsLuca> Roland1: Trust me, im doing you a favour
[01:39] <Roland1> MyNameIsLuca: And I still don't get what you're talking about...
[01:39] <DwightShroot> im having trouble with my flash player since i did an update
[01:40] <mlester> hey I am trying to run the alternate installer off usb
[01:40] <losher> PerryArmstrong: Personally I just copy the contents of one client's /var/cache/apt/archive to another client, but i only have 3 machines. For 60 machines, I think I'd nfs mount the archive directory from a central point so everyone sees the same thing. You might be able to do the same with most of /usr come to think of it....
[01:40] <[gloom]> jdu: You recommend me to try the xephyr method, or go for Nxserver?
[01:40] <jrib> Hilikus_: download the source package and rebuild it for amd64 I guess?
[01:40] <th0r> Roland1: he is a troll...so long as you feed him he won't leave
[01:40] <mlester> and it says it can't find cdrom
[01:40] <geophysics> how can I understand my ubuntu is installed on which part of my hdd ?   /dev/sda??    ?
[01:40] <jrib> geophysics: did you try what I told you before?
[01:40] <Hilikus_> jrib: yes but it needs like a million extra packages that i don't want to install. i'll probably just drop it
[01:40] <[gloom]> jdu: although it seems that vnc over ssh can show the login screen as well, but I'm afraid it needs the desktop running on the remote machine anyway
[01:41] <geophysics> jrib: it's not written there
[01:41] <MyNameIsLuca> Roland1: Cairo...
[01:41] <jrib> !uuid | geophysics
[01:41] <PerryArmstrong> losher; no no there's a locally caching a client so that it can hold all the packages....
[01:41] <jrib> geophysics: does that answer your question now?
[01:41] <jrib> geophysics: well you can just use pbuilder or even use a ppa on launchpad to build it for you
[01:41] <PerryArmstrong> losher; i think its cacher
[01:42] <mazda01> jrib, i have an ext3 partition being mounted  at /var/lib/mythtv/  but within that folder is a folder named pictures that I want to mount a ntfs samba share to, i mount it but it's not writable. i am using the file_mode=0777 and dir_mode=0777 in my fstab enttry. see my ubuntuforums.org post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7742764#post7742764

[01:42] <mlester> hey I am trying to run the alternate installer for 9.04 off usb drive and I get can't find cdrom
[01:42] <mlester> do you know how to make it not check for cdrom

[01:43] <losher> PerryArmstrong: It is apt-cacher --  http://whitepapers.zdnet.com/abstract.aspx?docid=324584
[01:43] <[gloom]> jrib: I'm reading the manual for the vnc over ssh. Anyway, it seems to need the desktop running on the remote machine. Maybe the freenx is a better solution

[01:45] <losher> PerryArmstrong: I've never used it myself. but it looks like it will do what you want...
[01:45] <MyNameIsLuca> mlester: Hmm, youve been asking the same questions over and over again for the past 3 years.
[01:45] <PerryArmstrong> losher; yes i need to learn how to set it up...but what about that i posted in ubuntuforums
[01:45] <jiohdi> mlester, etubootin
[01:45] <jiohdi> etunbootin
[01:46] <jiohdi> it allows you to burn iso into usb
[01:46] <MyNameIsLuca> mlester: At that youve been given good clues from atleast 12 nations. How do you fail you think ?
[01:46] <losher> PerryArmstrong: lastly. If I had 60 clients to maintain, I would netboot a single boot image for the lot of them so you can wipe out any 'damage' easily...
[01:46] <jiohdi> and make it bootable
[01:46] <bennnenat> Anyone here have knowledge of symantec ghost and willing to offer help? :)
[01:46] <mlester> ok I'll try it
[01:46] <mlester> thanks
[01:46] <PerryArmstrong> losher; i didn't understand
[01:46] <jrib> bennnenat: isn't that a windows program?  Try partimage if you want something similar for linux
[01:46] <MyNameIsLuca> mlester: "Do", do not "Try"
[01:47] <MTeck> Is there anybody in here that know much about setting up encrypted partitions in the alternate cd. I'd like to chat in query w/ some questions
[01:47] <losher> PerryArmstrong: what about what you posted in ubuntuforums? Did you have a specific question?
[01:47] <jiohdi> mynameisluca or yoda?

[01:47] <PerryArmstrong> losher; in the sense

[01:50] <MyNameIsLuca> learn
[01:50] <losher> PerryArmstrong: I'm sure we've discussed this before. if you have 60 machines, people are going to download all sorts of nonsense on them: porn, music, p2p software. You want to be able to boot to a clean system easily. The way you do this is to have the boot image come from a server. Each time you boot, all changes go away and you get the box back to its original state. Internet kiosks do...
[01:50] <losher> ...this between customers so each new customer gets a completely clean system...
[01:50] <MTeck> I'm setting up a new system from scratch in the 9.04 alternate cd. I tried to setup an encrypated partition using a Random Key w/ AES encryption. I put everything except /boot on LVM in this partition. When I tried to boot it for the first time it got to busybox and died. I'm back trying to do the installation again to get it right this time.
[01:50] <MyNameIsLuca> jiohdi: Tis
[01:51] <MyNameIsLuca> jiohdi: How are you doing btw, ltns
[01:51] <felix_> HI.  i have problems with a port forwarding. i want to build a XAMPP server accesible from internet, so i openet a port in my router (80) and redirected to my *.*.*.193 pc. But i rebooted and then, i was unable to reach connectivity, even to my router <IP_ADDRESS>.
[01:51] <jiohdi> mynameisluca, pm?
[01:51] <PerryArmstrong> losher; but then there's also one thing...the users may store their files like some programs like java, c, c++ etc....so those files must be secured
[01:52] <MyNameIsLuca> jiohdi: sure
[01:52] <[gloom]> jrib: thanks man. I'll search for it
[01:52] <[gloom]> bye
[01:52] <felix_> now i changed ip to *.*.*192 and i can have access to internet again, but the forwarding does not work because points to *.193
[01:53] <coffeej> on 9.04, my laptop won't autoconnect to my home network after I changed it to a hidden network
[01:53] <Mikess> how can I activate video preview ,,icons /.
[01:53] <Mikess> ,,?
[01:54] <godmodegrafix> hello everyone
[01:54] <godmodegrafix> :D
[01:54] <losher> PerryArmstrong: if those files need to be stored, then you want them on the server too, so you can back them up easily. My point is, you don't want people installing trojans & keyloggers and lord knows what on the clients, and you don't want to have to go looking for them. One reboot, and the system's in a clean, known state, guaranteed. They can have local disks, but you don't want to keep...
[01:54] <losher> ...any data there. It's just swap & temp space, nothing that needs backing up...
[01:55] <mlester> felix_: a lot of isps block port 80
[01:56] <mlester> try and use a different port like 8080
[01:57] <PerryArmstrong> losher; so you suggest netboot??
[01:59] <kamil> ?
[01:59] <IsmAvatar> trying to do liveCD customization here, but when I extract squashfs, my "device" runs out of "space"
[01:59] <paissad-hp> hi everybody !
[02:00] <paissad-hp> i would like to know how to do to make files into /tmp directory not to be removed after a reboot ?
[02:00] <paissad-hp> thanks in advance
[02:01] <mlester> paissad-hp: why do you need that
[02:01] <Saruji> hello guys, need a little help, just tried to update my Nvidia drivers, went into root sheel, did sh Nvidia driver, it said that it installed successfully, but after restart X failed to load,....help....How can I get to the log that could tell me what went wrong?
[02:01] <losher> PerryArmstrong: to manage 60 clients without breaking a sweat, yes, netboot the same image onto all clients & keep no data on the clients. Mount filesystems from the server for user's files. Now the only thing you need to backup is the server, and you rebuild the netboot image with any new updates as needed (which shouldn't be that often, frankly. Only for major security issues). If any...
[02:01] <losher> ...client ever has a problem, a re-netboot will bring it back to its original state....
[02:01] <JonathanEllis> My machine hung while installing OpenOffice. I had to reboot and then do 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' but this hangs every time. How can I recover from this?
[02:01] <Loup> I foolishly misspelled my username on a new installation.  When I go to alter it as admin with the manage users and groups tool, username is grayed out and unalterable.  How do I fix this?
[02:01] <paissad-hp> mlester, i prefer removed files into /tmp manually, when i want, :)
[02:02] <paissad-hp> that's what i'm used to proceed
[02:02] <Flannel> Loup: You need to be on a different user to do it.  If you have no other user, you can reboot and use the recovery console to do it.
[02:02] <PerryArmstrong> losher; so where can i find all information for this
[02:02] <paissad-hp> nobody knows ?
[02:02] <Saruji> hello guys, any ideas?
[02:02] <JonathanEllis> Loup: Probably you will have to create a new user who also has admin rights. Then login as your new user and rename the original. Alternatively, create a new user with the correct spelling and delete your current username
[02:02] <Loup> Flannel: I created another admin account to try and alter it from there but it was still grayed.  But you say I can do it from recovery?
[02:03] <Flannel> Loup: you can, yeah.  usermod and stuff.
[02:03] <usacomputertec> #Ultumix
[02:03] <mlester> usermod -l login-name old-name
[02:03] <paissad-hp> nobody knows ?
[02:03] <mlester> Loup: that what I found on a good search
[02:04] <losher> PerryArmstrong: google, mainly. For example, http://wiki.systemimager.org/index.php/HOWTO_Net_Boot_Ubuntu

[02:06] <mlester> paissad-hp: though I have never done something like that I imagine it involves finding where in the start up scripts the rm is being made
[02:07] <jrib> IsmAvatar: your partition is full
[02:07] <IsmAvatar> I figured that much out. I just can't figure out which partition
[02:07] <IsmAvatar> I'm on a livecd, so it seems to be the livecd's "partition"
[02:07] <PerryArmstrong> losher; so does this function perfectly with package updations.....and will it increase the load on server?
[02:07] <jrib> IsmAvatar: whatever partition edit/var is on
[02:07] <jefinc> RavenShadow: what is the issue?
[02:07] <jefinc> !ask | RavenShadow
[02:08] <IsmAvatar> ah, rootfs
[02:09] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[02:09] <RavenShadow> I have tried installing both the regular 9.04 Live and the Alternate CD via UNetbootin and with the regular .iso, when it boots, in order to start the install, it hangs on Bluetooth, even though I have no bluetooth devices. When I tried the alternate cd, it doesn't recognize my PS/2 keyboard
[02:10] <Flannel> RavenShadow: Is your keyboard plugged into the keyboard plug? any chance it might be plugged into the mouse one?
[02:10] <olinuxx> yop !
[02:10] <losher> PerryArmstrong: during the booting of 60 clients I would expect significant load on the server. You could add a separate bootserver if necessary. You can put whatever you like into the netboot image, so it would be your choice what updates to make a netbootable image out of. I sugges you try it with 3 or 4 machines & get familiar with the process...
[02:11] <RavenShadow> Not a chance...I've checked it multiple times

[02:19] <PerryArmstrong> losher; while googling...i got info that netboot is all about new installation

[02:24] <losher> Evet: it depends on the client ssh options. My options says to automatically add new keys to known_hosts. If your options are different, you may have to add it manually, or change the option. Check  the setting of StrictHostKeyChecking in /etc/ssh/ssh_config

[02:25] <losher> PerryArmstrong: new installation is just one application of netboot. In a sense, every time you boot a client will be a 'new' installation, since clients do not keep state...

[02:39] <westmi> firefox slowed down after the last update :(
[02:40] <fosa> how do i get font-smoothing in firefox 3.5?  about:config gfx:use_font_smoothing didn't change anything for me
[02:40] <westmi> geezzz you people are just too chatty
[02:41] <RoBz> kthx
[02:41] <Guest57807> hello all, got question regarding volume control properties if anyone cares to field it?
[02:41] <minimec> westmi: If you are on jaunty, you may install firefox 3.5 shiretoko. Plugins like NoScript and AdBlock are available. it handles flash much better...
[02:42] <westmi> sup,guest
[02:42] <PerryArmstrong> losher;yes...probably only the server will kept on all the time...all the clients will be shut down if not required...
[02:42] <JonathanEllis> !ask | Guest57807
[02:42] <PerryArmstrong> StrangeCharm; ohh then you need to contact canonical for that
[02:42] <macgyver_> all, sorry to pester, but this driver is putting me in a tight spot
[02:43] <westmi> nope :( 8.10
[02:43] <macgyver_> Can I get some assistance on this error http://pastebin.com/d6445bd6
[02:43] <PerryArmstrong> losher; like if someone wants to use it..then he starts the machine and after usage..it'll be shutdown
[02:44] <westmi> i'm not ready to upgrade to jaunty yet...........
[02:44] <maslen> I recently installed Ubuntu 9.04, and I've been noticing a slight bug - after lowering the laptops screen, (and putting it back up), the cursor dissapears, and the only way I've been able to get it back is by restarting the computer
[02:44] <maslen> is there any other way to fix this ?
[02:44] <mikebot> Is there an easy way to change the background in netbook remix?
[02:44] <Guest57807> Trying to get my microphone to work, been browsing the forums, and many of the threads are mentioning a front mic and capture option in the volume controls, however I dont see an option for capture or front mic anywhere, I just have a Microphone Capture option.
[02:44] <minimec> westmi: Hmmm... The download version on the mozilla website should be usable even in your /home directory, I guess...
[02:45] <DWonderly> mikebot are you still using the netbook screen or did you go back to default gnome?
[02:45] <mikebot> DWonderly: netbook
[02:45] <DOTSLASH> i have an issue on my ubuntu system, kernels > 2.6.28-12-generic don't boot
[02:45] <DOTSLASH> when i get to gdm, all my input/output doesn't work and then i get the capslock light switch blink... can anyone help me
[02:45] <losher> PerryArmstrong: shutting them down will certainly save power, but I'm betting it will also increase the hardware failure rate. I'm not sure where the break-even point is....
[02:45] <DWonderly> mikebot: As far as I can see unless you went back to GTK default there is no background to change
[02:46] <mikebot> DWonderly: Like the brown background with the buttons on either side
[02:46] <Evet> Webmin or SysCP, which one is better?
[02:47] <DWonderly> mikebot yes. unless you change back to Ubuntu Default it will stay that way
[02:47] <westmi> would that be better than the version that came with 8.10?
[02:47] <DOTSLASH> can anyone help me
[02:47] <zacktu> what's the irc channel for python?
[02:48] <mikebot> DWonderly: ah, bummer, ok

[02:49] <ricardo__> My friend bought a computer with Ubuntu preinstalled, and the screen resolution is preset with a higher definition than the supported by his monitor. Therefore, he's not being able ti see anything, and he can't adjust the resolution as he can't see anything. Is there a key shorcut like the former ctrl-numeric plus or ctrl- numeric minus?
[02:49] <mikebot> DWonderly: It
[02:49] <mikebot> DWonderly: It's pretty nice, but the keys are /really/ small
[02:49] <zaccour> are there better dvd coders than devede? menu generation always fails
[02:50] <DOTSLASH> can someone help me please
[02:50] <DWonderly> !ask | DOTSLASH
[02:50] <JonathanEllis> zaccour: I have used devede successfully generating menus
[02:50] <minimec> westmi: It might speed up your browser a bit, that's basically it. Firefox 3.0 is still a good browser.
[02:50] <mikebot> DWonderly: How dangerous (meaning likelihood I mess up my computer) is this: www.ubuntumini.com/2009/08/hack-ubuntu-netbook-remix-ui.html
[02:51] <DWonderly> Mikebot: You'll get used to it
[02:51] <zaccour> maybe its because i upgraded to alpha
[02:51] <DOTSLASH> (what a moron)
[02:51] <PerryArmstrong> losher; then its not a good option as i wont get approval for that....
[02:51] <DOTSLASH> DWonderly:

[02:51] <louise> my screen resolution is bad, and it seems to be a problem with the card ?
[02:51] <PerryArmstrong> losher; will be back after 14 hours as i'll be leaving for college
[02:51] <mikebot> DWonderly: I hope so... I didn't think that they would be this small... and my spostrophe key is in a very odd spot (below the period)
[02:52] <DWonderly> mikebot: ohhhhh.... fun! Careful <G>
[02:52] <ricardo__> is there in Ubuntu a keyboard shortcut to adjust the screen resolution?
[02:52] <westmi> o well guess i'll live with it
[02:52] <Flannel> mikebot: Not at all.  That's just editing images that get displayed.
[02:52] <losher> PerryArmstrong: to power down or not is an issue whether you neboot or not...
[02:52] <mikebot> Flannel: ah good
[02:53] <DWonderly> DOTSLASH: When you say input/output isn't working what do you exactly?
[02:53] <PerryArmstrong> losher; so i have to look at other types of servers then
[02:53] <damo1> which channel should i join for help on setting up a LAMP server?
[02:54] <losher> PerryArmstrong: ok, we can pick this up some other time....
[02:54] <PerryArmstrong> losher; will be back after 14 hours as i'll be leaving for college
[02:54] <westmi> it updated a few days ago, that's when the slowdown occured. then it updated a few min ago, and i was hoppin that one would fix it, but , it doesnt appear to have any effect.
[02:54] <DOTSLASH> DWonderly, i mean my mouse and my keyboard
[02:54] <mikebot> Flannel: Do you know which of those is the background? The window.svg looks blank
[02:55] <losher> PerryArmstrong: dunno where I'll be tomorrow, as it's Friday. So see you later...
[02:55] <zaccour> could ubuntu 9.10 alpha be causing the menu to not generate in devede?
[02:55] <PerryArmstrong> losher; thanks for helping me bye
[02:55] <Flannel> mikebot: Might be white?  I don't know. windows.svg certainly looks right from the screenshots on that page
[02:55] <DOTSLASH> i don't think DWonderly knwos what my prob is.
[02:55] <westmi> so now i'm kinda disappointed, but  will live with it
[02:55] <DOTSLASH> he's prolly going to google it.
[02:55] <DOTSLASH> Flannel, can you help m e with it?
 i have an issue on my ubuntu system, kernels > 2.6.28-12-generic don't boot
 when i get to gdm, all my input/output doesn't work and then i get the capslock light switch blink... can anyone help me
[02:55] <FloodBot3> DOTSLASH: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:56] <DWonderly> DOTSLASH: nevermind then.
[02:56] <mikebot> Flannel: Ah yeah, got it. Thanks
[02:56] <mikebot> DWonderly: Thanks
[02:56] <mikebot> cya!
[02:56] <DOTSLASH> DWonderly, did you have a suggestion? :)
[02:56] <Flannel> DOTSLASH: Your blinking lights means a kernel panic.  Check launchpad for similar issues, if you don't find any, file a bug.  That's a regression and should be fixed.
[02:56] <DWonderly> Mikebot: Anytime

[02:58] <tanweer> hello
[02:59] <bigdavejoker> #vmware
[03:00] <zaccour> could ubuntu 9.10 alpha be causing the menu to not generate in devede?

[03:01] <utferd_> hi, i'm using opendns but i cant still enter some websites. what can i do?
[03:02] <styol> utferd_: such as what web sites?
[03:02] <utferd_> styol, a moment pls
[03:03] <zaccour> could ubuntu 9.10 alpha be causing the menu to not generate in devede?
[03:03] <vividLock> hey everyone
[03:03] <Pici> zaccour: 9.10 support is in #ubuntu+1, not here.
[03:04] <vividLock> how about 9.04 support pici?
[03:04] <D3RGPS31> how do i remove applications from the 'Open With' list :o
[03:04] <Pici> vividLock: All other releases are in here :) 9.10 is alpha though.
[03:04] <deexannihilate> styol: did you dl eeebuntu on your acer?

[03:05] <D3RGPS31> eww more piracy
[03:05] <utferd_> styol, hi again
[03:05] <vividLock> so my swap should be 1-2x my ram size?
[03:06] <utferd_> styol, for example http://www.opencourseware.com/
[03:06] <D3RGPS31> if you have ram above 2GB you shouldn't need swapspace
[03:06] <MyNameIsLuca> Suck my governmental arse D3RGPS31
[03:06] <vividLock> oh okay
[03:06] <Frey> Hello, I'm currently on Ubuntu's live cd and I started the full installation as main OS about 5 hours ago and went AFK. When I got back about 35 minutes ago I was only at 50% of copying file is this normal? (HDD might have a problem and windows was not stable and was really laggy so I decided to try out Ubuntu to see if it was hardware problem or windows)
[03:06] <D3RGPS31> MyNameIsLuca: nou.
[03:06] <Pici> !piracy | MyNameIsLuca
[03:06] <MyNameIsLuca> D3RGPS31: Hehe, US Army
[03:07] <D3RGPS31> MyNameIsLuca: position and years of service.
[03:07] <MyNameIsLuca> D3RGPS31: ssh
[03:07] <MyNameIsLuca> D3RGPS31: Hell yeah
[03:07] <b> b
[03:07] <Flannel> MyNameIsLuca: Please mind your language and your tone.
[03:07] <zaccour> could ubuntu 9.10 alpha be causing the menu to not generate in devede?
[03:07] <vividLock> Frey, well it all depends on the rig you're running and if your HDD does have a problem or not
[03:07] <b> was a mistake
[03:07] <Flannel> zaccour: Try #ubuntu+1 for Karmic questions, thanks
[03:07] <MyNameIsLuca> Flannel: Agreed son
[03:08] <Frey> I'm on a dual core @ 2.13 ghz and 2 gigs of ram atm
[03:08] <parolang> Hello.  I just installed the dictionary.el package (for emacs) but I don't know how to use it.  Do I need to restart the sysem?
[03:08] <vividLock> then i would guess it shouldve been done faster
[03:08] <styol> utferd_: this is why i asked, im not able to load this site either
[03:08] <D3RGPS31> how do i removed applications from the 'Open With' list <.<
[03:08] <Flannel> parolang: You shouldn't.  If you need to restart anything, it'd just be emacs.
[03:09] <Frey> Could it be possible that when I went AFK it went into hibernation mode or something? Because it went up by 10% in the past 40 minutes
[03:09] <parolang> Flannel: I already did that.  Hmm...I compiled emacs myself though, would that affect anything?
[03:09] <vividLock> if i have 12gb RAM, what size swap should i use?
[03:09] <parolang> Flannel: I'm using 23.
[03:09] <Flannel> parolang: I have no idea.  I don't use emacs.  You might ask in #emacs
[03:10] <vividLock> Frey, well then it may've just paused while in hibernation, but I haven't used it enough to know what happens
[03:10] <vividLock> so what do you guys think about the swap partition size
[03:10] <deexannihilate> styol: i downloaded eeebuntu on my acer. any idea why my entire screen dims to blue after I load a flash site?
[03:10] <parolang> Flannel: Okay.  Thanks anyway.
[03:11] <Frey> Ok thanks alot, do you know of anyway I can test my HDD? And does Ubuntu 32 bit supports 6 gigs of ram?
[03:12] <vividLock> x32 architecture supports up to 3gb RAM, x64 supports up to 128gb RAM iirc
[03:12] <styol> deexannihilate: check out this forum thread and see if it helps http://forum.eeebuntu.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=3021
[03:12] <westmi> why does it bother you?
[03:12] <vividLock> get some software that checks a HDD for errors and fail rates
[03:12] <deexannihilate> styol: thanks!
[03:12] <vividLock> how long have you had it
[03:12] <D3RGPS31> vividLock 32 can support more (from what i've seen with linux server) and 64 can support in the terrabytes i think :o
[03:13] <styol> deexannihilate: no prob, i dunno if it will help tho just a stab in the dark
[03:13] <vividLock> hmm i was under the impression x32 was only made to support up to 3x2gb but i could be wrong
[03:13] <D3RGPS31> it was
[03:13] <vividLock> if i have 12gb RAM, what size swap should i use?
[03:13] <D3RGPS31> would you really need swap with that much?
[03:13] <styol> lol seriously
[03:14] <styol> i was trying to figure out how to ask the same thing
[03:14] <Frey> Is there anywhere I can look to confirm how much ram that x32 supports?
[03:14] <vividLock> idk but isnt it gonna force me to make a swap partition during the install
[03:14] <D3RGPS31> i want to kill you for having that much
[03:14] <vividLock> haha new rig baby
[03:14] <styol> vividLock: it will warn you about it
[03:14] <D3RGPS31> you can deny it, doing it manually
[03:14] <styol> dont think its required tho
[03:14] <vividLock> hmm, i guess if its required ill just make a 2gb swap or something
[03:14] <D3RGPS31> i'm capable of 16GB... but i can't afford it
[03:15] <styol> you guys operating heavy machinery or something with your comps? lol
[03:15] <vividLock> newegg just bumped the prices down on a bunch of ddr3 1600
[03:15] <vividLock> haha styol, i just need to do a dont of CAD and PS
[03:15] <vividLock> do a lot*
[03:15] <Xerran> vividLock| i hate DDr3
[03:16] <D3RGPS31> why is DDR more expensive than DDR2+
[03:16] <styol> ah gotcha yeah those two will do it, CAD i dunno but i can only imagine, PS i know yah
[03:16] <Xerran> DDR2 4GB ftw
[03:16] <Xerran> lol
[03:16] <vividLock> CAD is 3d drawing and design stuff
[03:16] <styol> indeed ive just never used it before
[03:17] <damo1> what packages do i need to install for a LAMP server?
[03:17] <vividLock> PS is more fun imo
[03:17] <Frey> So just wondering how long should Ubuntu take to install on a fairly decent computer?
[03:17] <damo1> ive got mysql-server and apache2 and php5
[03:17] <damo1> what else?
[03:17] <Flannel> !lamp | damo1
[03:17] <Flannel> damo1: That wikipage will get you up to speed
[03:18] <westmi> Frey:it took me about 3 hours
[03:18] <vividLock> for me about 3 hrs
[03:18] <Frey> Oh then I guess it's doing alright
[03:18] <vividLock> if your comp when into hibernation ,the install would too
[03:19] <Frey> Well im on the livecd, would that go into hibernate?
[03:19] <vividLock> darrio1, did you get the php5 mods for mysql and enable apache for php
[03:20] <vividLock> idk the default settings Frey, but if you came back and it was hibernating then probably
[03:20] <vividLock> ive never looked at the settings tho
[03:21] <vividLock> if its still going and sped back up now then you should be fine
[03:21] <Frey> well it's going up but I think it's really slow and I'm installing 32 bit when I would need x64
[03:22] <bobo> hey guys, im havin trouble with updating pulseaudio, and its really annoying, would it be a good idea to just uninstall it
[03:22] <vividLock> well does your mobo support x64?
[03:22] <vividLock> its not just about how much RAM you have
[03:22] <Frey> it does I believe
[03:22] <vividLock> which mobo?
[03:22] <gofelro> I am having trouble clicking on the Adobe Flash Player settings in Mozzilla firefox.  I dont remember this happening in windows which is why im wondering if its an ubuntu problem

[03:24] <MTeck> Anybody know of something other than network-manager to handle my network connections?
[03:24] <Frey> e6400 is my cpu number and yes I believe its a core 2 duo
[03:24] <ogr3> i think ng has to do with some sort of gui front end?
[03:24] <ogr3> gnome related?
[03:25] <vividLock> yeah Frey then it supports x64

[03:37] <SmackTalk> anyone familiar with edbuntu?
[03:38] <ctmjr> stanley_: did you install any codecs? or just vlc
[03:38] <blueyonder> Not really familiar with edubuntu, but it seems like it would be geared toward kids younger than teenagers

[03:40] <westmi> from synaptic package manager
[03:40] <`Johnny> hellos
[03:40] <stanley_> ctmjr i installed all the codecs and everythign they told me to on the ubuntu documentation page
[03:41] <Lunis> my wife's netbook is running Ubuntu Netbook Remix, and it works quite well. We had troubles with this and that but we're down to just one problem. Any time she closes the netbook and then later opens it, her "hard" SD card pops open in Nautilus
[03:41] <Lunis> and it sucks^
[03:41] <stanley_> ctmjr in totem it says i may not have permission to access this location
[03:41] <D3RGPS31> Westmi: when applications are removed, they still remain in the 'Open With' list... i ask how to remove entries from that list
[03:41] <`Johnny> does anyone know how to burn an mp3 cd in ubuntu not in alphabetical order but more like artist/track order?thanks.
[03:41] <Lunis> westmi, he doesn't mean remove the package, he means remove the link to use it when doing an Open with...
[03:41] <stanley_> ctmjr and vlc just closes
[03:41] <lux_> hello ^^
[03:42] <westmi> sorry.........havn't a clue...........

[03:44] <`Johnny> does anyone know how to burn an mp3 cd in ubuntu not in alphabetical order but more like artist/track order?thanks.
[03:44] <ctmjr> stanley_: should be adduser no space

[03:45] <Lunis> `Johnny, pretty sure Brasero does it
[03:45] <`Johnny> thanks lunix, i already have that installed to :D
[03:45] <ctmjr> stanley_: cool have fun what was wrong if you do not mind?
[03:45] <`Johnny> lunis**
[03:45] <Lunis> `Johnny, glad to help :)
[03:45] <tictac232434> Does anyone know how to fix the Thunderbird issue where it won't download all the messages and the network constantly disconnects?
[03:46] <khafra> So, I booted off a liveUSB in an eMachines, and I don't see the internal hard drive
[03:46] <khafra> /dev/sd0 is the usb drive
[03:46] <khafra> /dev/hda is the loopfs.  Where could it be?
[03:47] <D3RGPS31> how do i removed applications from the 'Open With' list :/
[03:47] <mattwj2002> hi guys
[03:47] <mattwj2002> I have a quick question
[03:48] <mattwj2002> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812200373
[03:48] <dr3mro> how to create power profiles like that of kde and windows to use on demand ie power save high performance balanced presentation
[03:48] <aaron_> hey how do i remove the boot logo?
[03:48] <Lunis> D3RGPS31, looks like you need to look into ~/.local/share/applications, and probably /usr/local/share/applications for desktop files... freedesktop has specs on how to properly write them, but if you just want to delete them, find them there...but be careful
[03:48] <mattwj2002> if I take an sata drive and convert it to ide will I see a huge performance hit?
[03:48] <aaron_> hey how do i remove the boot logo?
[03:49] <westmi> D3RGPS31: have you tried a terminal command of some kind?
[03:49] <D3RGPS31> Lunis: tank you :o
[03:49] <tictac232434> Does anyone know how to fix the Thunderbird issue where it won't download all the messages and the network constantly disconnects?
[03:49] <D3RGPS31> westmi: if i knew a command that was useful in this situation, i wouldn't be here
[03:49] <Lunis> D3RGPS31, no problem, just took a little googling ;)
[03:49] <D3RGPS31> Google!? I use BING. xD
[03:50] <boobsbr> howdy, i'm trying to get the radeonhd driver to work on my hd3300 igp, but so far no luck. i installed it but it won't load automatically and i tried adding 'Driver "radeonhd"' to the device section but it didn't work. how can i get this to work?
[03:50] <khafra> If there's definitely an internal hard drive, but I don't see anything under /dev/sd* or /dev/hd*, what should I do?
[03:50]  * Lunis slaps the ever-loving crap out of D3RGPS31
[03:50] <trevorj> WHy does uubuntu 8.04.2lts not look at my friggin partition tables after I configure LVM underneath software RAID-5? Instead of creating /dev/md0(raid-1 hda1,hdc1,hde1 spare:hdg1) and /dev/md1(raid-5 hda3,hdc3,hde3 spare:hdg3), it just creates a /dev/md0 using raid-5, somehow using my entire drives (hda,hdc,hde spare:hdg) ?
[03:50] <aaron_> hey how do i remove the boot logo?
[03:51] <Lunis> aaron_, what do you mean by "boot logo"
[03:51] <ctmjr> D3RGPS31: go to the file you want to remove it from click properties the open with and remove or add what you do not want it is global for that file type
[03:51] <KittyBoots> I am trying to learn about programs used for managing cell phones, do any of you have experience with them?
[03:51] <D3RGPS31> ctmjr: that would require me to do it to EVERY SINGLE filetype...
[03:51] <aaron_> Lunis, the logo from ubuntu when you boot up
[03:51] <KittyBoots> Programs like Wammu.
[03:51] <D3RGPS31> ctmjr: computers are suppose to be automatic
[03:51] <mattwj2002> anyone have any ideas?
[03:52] <D3RGPS31> Lunis: it worked :D thank you
[03:52] <Lunis> aaron_, i can only assume you're talking about usplash. why do you want it removed? most likely you'll `aptitude remove usplash'
[03:52] <aaron_> Lunis, because is annoying
[03:52] <Lunis> D3RGPS31, glad it did
[03:52] <dub> i find myself intensly annoyed by a circle with some dots
[03:53] <Lunis> aaron_, oh...right then. just remove the usplash package, it should default to a scrolling wall of text
[03:53] <dub> the fix I found was to take 2B pencil and gouge my eyes out
[03:53] <Lunis> ^true story
[03:53] <khafra> When I boot from the hard drive, it's there.  But when I boot from the usb disk, "fdisk -l" shows me only the thumbdrive
[03:53] <Guest51429> aaron_, Simply remove the word 'splash' from the grub configuration
[03:53] <tictac232434> Does anyone know how to fix the Thunderbird issue where it won't download all the messages and the network constantly disconnects?
[03:53] <Lunis> Guest51429, that would work but why have usplash installed but unused, right?
[03:54] <Guest51429> Lunis, To enable it later? :)
[03:54] <Lunis> Guest51429, true enough
[03:54] <dub> added bonus is it takes care of that infernal orange yellow circle that keeps appearing in the sky
[03:55] <cellofellow> my fonts in Qt4 apps sometimes get all smeared, screenshot here (Skype in this case) http://tinyurl.com/knsoxe
[03:55] <cellofellow> sometimes happens in VirtualBox too. I think that's the only Qt4 apps I use.
[03:56] <dub> cellofellow, the fix I mentioned above takes care of all font related issues
[03:56] <[[thufir]]> how do you monitor cpu temp?  gnome temp thingamajig? plus...?
[03:56] <WilliamC> What FS does Ubuntu use?
[03:56] <WilliamC> and what FSes can it use?
[03:56] <Flannel> WilliamC: by default, ext3.  But you've got many choices.
[03:56] <cellofellow> dub: just joined the channel, so you'll have to repost the fix
[03:56] <Lunis> WilliamC, any FS usable by linux
[03:56] <Flannel> dub: Is there something we can help you with?
[03:56] <WilliamC> Which one is the best in your opinion?
[03:57] <cellofellow> WilliamC: ext3 is default, ext4 and xfs are also good options.
[03:57] <[[thufir]]> my pc just restarted, is there a particular log file which I should grab now?
[03:57] <Lunis> cellofellow, don't ask, his answer wasn't "real" ;)
[03:57] <dub> Flannel, im fine thanks
[03:57] <Flannel> dub: Alright, then please stop being offtopic, thanks.
[03:57] <WilliamC> I never even heard of XFS
[03:57] <Flannel> WilliamC: ext4 isn't entirely stable yet.
[03:57] <cellofellow> so, what causes smudgy fonts in Qt4?
[03:57] <WilliamC> Flannel, I'm just looking for performance
[03:57] <innociv> is crontab automatically going to be set when my server reboots, or do i need to set something?
[03:57] <Lunis> WilliamC, there's also reiser and jfs in the "popular" list
[03:58] <cellofellow> WilliamC: xfs is developed by SGI, originally the journaling filesystem of IRIX. Very fast with lots of small files.
[03:58] <bastidrazor> when uninstalling older kernels in synaptic, should they be marked for removal or complete removal?
[03:58] <cdavis> where is the default subversion when installing from repo?
[03:58] <WilliamC> So, I have to reinstall Ubuntu?
[03:58] <khafra> btrfs, of course, is the new hotness, fs-wise
[03:59] <killagoon> is there any GM out there who can help me?
[03:59] <Lunis> WilliamC, JFS is best for big files (i think), reiser best for average size, xfs best for small... you could partition your system to hell for peak performance, but that would mean you just want gentoo so why not just go with ext2 for boot, ext3 for the rest?
[04:00]  * cellofellow uses ext4 for everything and it's just fine.
[04:00] <WilliamC> Lunix, I just pieced together this computer from a computer that fell off of a UHaul and some spare parts a friend had
[04:00] <khafra> cellofellow: Yeah, I've never had ext4 fail, even a little.  It's not exactly unstable
[04:00] <KittyBoots> do any of you know the channel for compiz fusion?
[04:00] <WilliamC> I won't try beta Ubunutu though, last time I did it segfaulted on boot.
[04:01] <yxz97> hi
[04:01] <Lunis> WilliamC, no worries, i was just venting frustration from several years of recompiling the kernel anyway :P
[04:01] <WilliamC> So, ext4 is good?
[04:01] <yxz97> Can anyone help me setup my video card ?
[04:02] <ctmjr> KittyBoots: it is #compiz
[04:02] <f2345_> is kde 4.3 available on ubuntu / kubuntu ?
[04:02] <KF5CLL> #ubuntu
[04:03] <Lunis> WilliamC, yeah, ext4 is good
[04:03] <yxz97> Hello
[04:03] <yxz97> Can anyone help me setup my video card?
[04:04] <WilliamC> I'm shocked the hardware was undamaged after the case hit asphalt.
[04:04] <Deevz> how do I logout from a user session in CLI?
[04:04] <yxz97> Hello ?

[04:08] <sos1> how can i change the resolution on my desktop?
[04:08] <sos1> i went to the display options but there's no choicse
[04:08] <sos1> choices*
[04:09] <ctmjr> sos1: did you install the drivers for your card?
[04:10] <losher> Acido: did you make any changes to your /etc/samba/smb.conf? Depending on how you reinstall, a problem in there would persist...
[04:10] <sos1> no
[04:11] <darolu> Hello
[04:11] <WilliamC> Should I specify a mount or if a mount is not provided one will be provided for me in a court of law
[04:11] <sos1> i'm not sure how to go about doing that
[04:11] <darolu> I am having problems with a PCI Card I just installed (parallel port), can anyone tell me how to install it?
[04:12] <WilliamC> So, should I mount it as '/' or as ' '
[04:12] <ctmjr> sos1:from the main menu  open system/administration and see if there is a tab for hardware drivers

[04:14] <Lunis> osx5, there's a page on the wiki about that i think, search the ubuntu wiki for "acer aspire one"
[04:14] <yxz97> Even better than before, when I used Fedora
[04:15] <yxz97> looks, like more precise resolution, more fine...
[04:15] <yxz97> grain detail...

[04:19] <f2345_> dare, lspci
[04:19] <bigdavejoker> is it possible to read/write to a vista partition from a virtual instance of vista run from vmware server on ubuntu 9.04
[04:19] <f2345_> darolu, lspci, to see chip and load module / build kernel accordingly
[04:20] <sos1> arg, got disconnected
[04:20] <f2345_> bigdavejoker, from a desktop in iran, deported to russia, and based in the US ?
[04:20] <sos1> the package manager shows that i have the xserver drivers for my chipset installed
[04:21] <boobsbr> howdy, i'm trying to get the radeonhd driver to work on my hd3300 igp, but so far no luck. i installed it but it won't load automatically and i tried adding 'Driver "radeonhd"' to the device section but it didn't work. how can i get this to work?
[04:21] <fetusbubble> does anyone know how to stop ubuntu from requiring a keyring password for 'nm-applet' everytime i boot up my laptop?
[04:21] <bigdavejoker> f2345 yeah something like that
[04:21] <Hilikus_> hey guys i'm trying to packafge a program i dl from source. how can i know what are the dependencies since if i just compile it and it works it might be that i have everything needed, not that it doesn't have any dependencies
[04:22] <f2345_> boobsbr, try driver from amd/ati, i'd suggest
[04:22] <f2345_> Hilikus_, good guess. you had everything on hand, it seems
[04:23] <SeaPhor> boobsbr, try aticonfig --initial
[04:23] <raparkhurst> hey
[04:23] <ctmjr> sos1: did you find a anything in the hardware driver in administration
[04:23] <boobsbr> f2345_: fglxr makes gnome unusable
[04:23] <Hilikus_> f2345_: so how can i make that list?
[04:23] <raparkhurst> has anyone used a PCI-express expansion chassis before?
[04:24] <f2345_> Hilikus_, figure out easily, i don't know
[04:24] <boobsbr> SeaPhor: aticonfig is included in fglrx, which makes gnome unusable
[04:24] <sagaci> is there any way to add a confirm box in nautilus and the general desktop when i press delete on a file?
[04:24] <sos1> checking now
[04:25] <caeroe> hmm i keep figuring out my own problems.  i hate asking  :)
[04:25] <sos1> eh, it says no proprietary drivers are in use
[04:25] <losher> bigdavejoker: my understanding is that you'd have to mount the vista partition in Ubuntu then share it via samba, then mount the share inside the guest os.
[04:25] <webbb> i cant find synaptic in my file system  isn it supose to  be in usr/bin
[04:26] <losher> webbb: /usr/sbin/synaptic
[04:26] <ctmjr> fetusbubble: i think if i remember right click on the applet then the edit button a pop-up window should come up asking if you want to make the key-ring permission perminate
[04:26] <caeroe> i got opera and flash working, it likes the adobe plug-in, not the synaptic version.  where as firefox is using the other fine..
[04:26] <NetEcho> how do I found out the /dev/ location of a mounted usb drive?
[04:26] <bigdavejoker> losher thanks!
[04:26] <ctmjr> sos1: doesi t give an option to install any if you click on it?
[04:26] <caeroe> is it normal for the x64 bit plugin to be much slower than the one supplied through synaptic?  being an x64 setup, it seems off
[04:27] <sos1> this wireless sucks damn it
[04:27] <losher> NetEcho: run dmesg is a terminal & see if there is a message saying what /dev is being used for the usb drive...
[04:27] <gwildor> NetEcho, just type      mount       if you know the mount location, you will see it there
[04:27] <NetEcho> ah ok
[04:27] <NetEcho> considering doing a manual copy to make my USB drive bootable for a ubuntu install or usb-creator
[04:29] <losher> NetEcho: I thought that was what unetbootin was for?
[04:29] <NetEcho> didn't find a package to install under ubuntu for it so said screw it
[04:29] <gwildor> umm, its in synaptic
[04:29] <shazbotmcnasty> Hello - I used rkhunter, and I found a few alarming things, I don't know if I should care or not, but there are a few things I'm not so sure to think about they are: /usr/bin/gawk and /usr/bin/awk
[04:30] <SeaPhor> boobsbr, no, in a tty, in runlevel 3, running aticonfig --initial and then rebooting (ATI requires reboot for any/all graphics changes) will reset the basic ATi, but more important u need to find out what driver you are using, because ATI is working on their Linux drivers and is on public release 8.62.x (i'm on 8.64.x)
[04:30] <NetEcho> oh well usb-creator seems to work
[04:30] <ctmjr> sos1: is there an option to install the driver?
[04:30] <fetusbubble> ctmjr: no such luck; i don't see anything that would make the keyring permission permanent
[04:31] <sos1> i don't see anything about installing anywhere, no
[04:31] <gf> hello
[04:31] <perturbed> hello
[04:31] <fals99> hello..
[04:31] <Evet> My kernel is 2.6.26-2-amd64, it means im using amd64 cpu?
[04:31] <gf> i'm from China!
[04:31] <f2345_> shazbotmcnasty, awk / gawk.. string parser
[04:32] <leetom> anyone know "could not qcuire name on session bus??
[04:32] <f2345_> Evet, good point
[04:32] <shazbotmcnasty> I'm sorry, I don't really know what that is...
[04:32] <fals99> is any body frm indonesia..??
[04:32] <f2345_> fals99, sank
[04:32] <leetom> vnc cannot see gnome...
[04:32] <fals99> hello sank...
[04:32] <NetEcho> yep usb-creator worked perfectly
[04:33] <f2345_> shazbotmcnasty, i dont know what rikhunter is.. but seems some awk.. script failed
[04:33] <boobsbr> SeaPhor: i'm using xserver-xorg-video-radeon, from the default install. about aticonfig, it's only included in xorg-driver-fglrx, if i install it, it makes gnome extremely slow and unusable. i tried it once, and used aticonfig, but in the end i had to reinstall jaunty.
[04:33] <sos1> not in the hardware drivers window, no
[04:33] <sos1> there's nothing at all
[04:33] <NetEcho> sos1 driver for what?
