[03:34] <Parogar> on a slightly different note, another problem I am having with Ubuntu, is that when I try and compile using g++ programs I have written in windows.   I cannot belive this is the busiest chat room on freenode
[03:34] <Netwiz> Congratulations
[03:34] <ejv> Netwiz: use 64bit, might as well
[03:34] <Netwiz> Will do
[03:34] <darkstar1> Out_Cold: why?? I figure not to have it buried in the usual place will some how help traversing down dir tree
[03:34] <Parogar> someone said it has to do with end line characters from windows to ubuntu?
[03:35] <ejv> gone are the days where 64bit support sucked
[03:35] <Srayahu> Parogar, concerning installing windows/ubuntu. Unless you know what you're doing I'd recommend just doing a guided install. I know what I'm doing and I usually just do a guided install anyway when I do dual installations, etc.
[03:35] <Out_Cold> darkstar1, that's where i'd put them too.. in /media or /mnt... good lessons produce good practice..
[03:35] <Netwiz> didn't you used to have an effects room?
[03:35] <Parogar> kk thanks will do that this time
[03:35] <Srayahu> Parogar, you're using gcc?
[03:35] <darkstar1> Out_Cold: Ok
[03:35] <Parogar> yes
[03:35] <Out_Cold> darkstar1, you can really put it where ever you want.. but it's just good practice to do it that way..
[03:36] <Parogar> gcc Main.cpp List.cpp -o LinkedList
[03:36] <Parogar> that's the syntax I am using
[03:36] <seanbrystone_> !away > xnt14[sleep]
[03:36] <Parogar> hundreds of erros
[03:36] <Parogar> errors*
[03:36] <Out_Cold> darkstar1, like using sudo -i instead or su root or sudo su...
[03:36] <zaikur> anyone available to help with an apache issue?
[03:36] <darkstar1> Ok
[03:36] <Out_Cold> zaikur, we can't help if we don't know the issue
[03:37] <trism> Parogar: you can fix the line ending problem with dos2unix in the tofrodos package (windows defaults to \r\n at the end of lines, linux uses just a \n)
[03:37] <ejv> and #apache is prolly a better place... lol
[03:37] <Parogar> ahh.
[03:37] <Parogar> and I just run my files through this?
[03:37] <ejv> errr #httpd
[03:37] <ejv> zaikur ^
[03:37] <zaikur> roger that. I just installed and when i go to edit the file for my website it's telling me that i dont have permission. I tried logging into root but it isn't accepting my password
[03:38] <zaikur> i only typed in one password when i installed ubuntu
[03:38] <zaikur> and that was for my login, nothing for root
[03:38] <Out_Cold> zaikur, easy solution...
[03:38] <trism> Parogar: yes
[03:38] <Out_Cold> zaikur, use gksu gedit /path/to/file
[03:39] <Parogar> sorry for all the noob questions, I am brand new to linux.
[03:39] <darkstar1> How do I view a man file (on Mkdir) in gedit??
[03:39] <Out_Cold> !root > zaikur
[03:39] <darkstar1> Parogar:  Me too.. sort of
[03:40] <Dj-Pilot94> Hey
[03:40] <thomas_> darkstar1, right click and click open with other application...
[03:40] <Jbirky> Sorry bad Internet connection
[03:40] <Out_Cold> darkstar1, what's wrong with man mkdir??
[03:40] <ardantus> how to add % in mysql server in ubuntu 8.04 server?
[03:41] <darkstar1> thomas_: don't know where the man files are... just know how to terminal them up
[03:41] <Out_Cold> darkstar1, the right syntax is sudo mkdir /media/disk
[03:41] <Dj-Pilot94> if i want to create a game in linux - were do i start? and do i have to make it free?
[03:41] <Jbirky> sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.0
[03:41] <thomas_> darkstar1, type gedit, then path/to/file
[03:41] <misteredia> what's up???
[03:41] <thomas_> darkstar1, like gedit path/to/file
[03:41] <Dj-Pilot94> Can somebody tell me?
[03:41] <Out_Cold> Dj-Pilot94, you don't have to do anything... except include required licencing... and you would start with a programming app
[03:42] <darkstar1> thomas_: Like I said I don't know where the man files are
[03:42] <von_neumann> I'm trying to change my default WM under Karmic,  I have created a .gnomerc (which is ignored) and edited the window manager setting via gconf-editor (which is also ignored).  I have STFW and no luck, any ideas?
[03:42] <ardantus> Jbirky, i mean i want alow remote not only localhost for mysql server.
[03:42] <mrkim> Houston, we have a problem!  I'm runnin 9.10 (386) w/proprietary nVidia 185 drivers & installed a kernel update this morning, then rebooted as instructed. Machine reboots->username screen ->password sreen then ... the ubuntu logo and progress bar vanish leaving only the login screen background on the screen.  No windows to enter any info into, nothing, just the login screen background.  I worked with 2 folks here this morning and did
[03:42] <Parogar> trism: Your suggestion worked thanks. it compiled into something called a.out?
[03:42] <Out_Cold> darkstar1, there is an online man pages glossary
[03:43] <darkstar1> Out_Cold: I kinda figured that out I just want to open the Man options in a nicely formatted viewer to see what options it has
[03:43] <Parogar> Is it possible to name it LinkedList.exe or .out or whatever linux uses
[03:43] <von_neumann> mrkim: sounds like the resolution is too low and you are only seeing the top-left corner of the login screen
[03:43] <von_neumann> mrkim, I've seen similar... Try backing up your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and regenerating it
[03:43] <trism> Parogar: you can specify the executable name with -o, linux doesn't require a certain extention for executables, just that their permissions are set correctly (+x)
[03:43] <Out_Cold> Parogar, you can name an mp3 on linux somesong.mp3.avi.mp4.exe.cab if you really wanted to....
[03:44] <Parogar> LOL
[03:44] <Parogar> cool
[03:44] <mrkim> von, no, resolution looks correct, and from prior checks drivers are ok
[03:44] <Dj-Pilot94> Out_cold what kind of programing apps are there?
[03:44] <Parogar> Other than C and C++ does ubuntu come with anything for assembler?
[03:45] <Parogar> I can't right 16bit assembler apps on windows. There's no way to do it. Was kind of hoping to do it on ubuntu
[03:45] <mrkim> von, no terminal jockey here, I need the commands :>(
[03:45] <Out_Cold> Dj-Pilot94, almost any kind you can think of.. search around in synaptic package manager
[03:45] <Dj-Pilot94> How are you Pming me?
[03:45] <Dj-Pilot94> /pm Out_Cold
[03:45] <misteredia> ben!!! on fait komen ici???????????
[03:45] <Out_Cold> i'm not pm'n anyone :p
[03:45] <Dj-Pilot94> Oh? It shows as red?
[03:45] <cheako> I asked in #upstart and they don't do user support.  Is there any one here who can help debug this?
[03:46] <misteredia> j compren rien du tt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[03:46] <Out_Cold> but try /msg Out_Cold some stupid message
[03:46] <misteredia> please help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[03:46] <seanbrystone_> oh good lord
[03:46] <misteredia> again please!!!!!!!!!!
[03:47] <Interficio> Anyone have a quick way to switch between audio outputs, like headphones to speakers?
[03:47] <Out_Cold> Interficio, alsamixer
[03:48] <rastasean> hello people. about 5 years ago i had a program running on my mac OS X system that allowed me to run many commands via web interface since apache was running on the computer. has anyone heard of anything like this for linux?
[03:48] <darkstar1> brb.. going to logout to test my changes
[03:48] <misteredia> please don't let me be misunderstood!!!!!!!!!!!!
[03:48] <rastasean> you install the program on your system etc file and login to the specific port from web remotely
[03:48] <warriorforgod> rastasean: Was it webmin?
[03:48] <misteredia> thank you!!!!!
[03:48] <ChogyDan> rastasean: maybe ebox?
[03:48] <rastasean> i'm rebooting in two minutes so try to think of is
[03:49] <rastasean> warriorforgod, that sounds right!!!
[03:49] <rastasean> i will look at ebox
[03:49] <Parogar> How do you uninstall Grub?
[03:49] <ChogyDan> Parogar: what do you want instead?
[03:49] <rastasean> warriorforgod, that can work on linux as well, right?
[03:49] <warriorforgod> rastasean: yes.
[03:49] <Parogar> well I tried reformatting to get windows to work again, and Grub is still there
[03:50] <Interficio> out_cold: any chance of like a quick switch icon?
[03:50] <rastasean> i'll be back in a 5 or so
[03:50] <rastasean> warriorforgod, thanks!
[03:50] <warriorforgod> rastasean: np
[03:50] <Parogar> lol, it's been a nightmare since downloading the ubuntu ISO wish I could reverse everything I have done today
[03:50] <Dj-Pilot94> Have a usb?
[03:50] <Out_Cold> Interficio, find out how to add/remove the devices in the command line then make a shell script
[03:50] <Dj-Pilot94> Downlaod unetbooting and put it on there
[03:50] <ChogyDan> Parogar: you need to start windows, and then run its command to fix the mbr.  Im not sure what the commands are though...
[03:50] <seanbrystone_> lol Parogar part of leaving the Windows nest, is a learning to like pain. :)
[03:50] <Dj-Pilot94> Much easyer
[03:51] <Parogar> I tried that
[03:51] <von_neumann> ChogyDan, fdisk /mbr
[03:51] <Parogar> My entire PC is pretty much down completly
[03:51] <Parogar> now
[03:51] <von_neumann> or format /mbr
[03:51] <scorpione> problem ubuntu 9.10 with Modem sagem 800 port usb
[03:51] <von_neumann> been a long time :-)
[03:51] <Dj-Pilot94> What did you do
[03:51] <Ritlee> Parogar, fixmbr is the command if you're running xp or older, but... go into your bios and disable the virus protection if it has it
[03:51] <ChogyDan> von_neumann: I hard it changed for windows 7
[03:51] <superloooooser> whats a good ubuntu distro for an old 600mhz pc
[03:51] <Parogar> Here is the full story. For the last year I have been running windows 7 perfectly fine. Today I downloaded Ubuntu, did a manual install on a spare partition.
[03:52] <Parogar> Restarted my PC
[03:52] <superloooooser> with 700mb ram
[03:52] <von_neumann> might have, seems like simply popping in the recovery CD would be a goof place to start though
[03:52] <Ritlee> it could be preventing you from writing to your mbr
[03:52] <Parogar> got an error that windows was corrupt, restarted again
[03:52] <von_neumann> err s/goof/good/
[03:52] <Ritlee> fixmbr changed at wind vista
[03:52] <edbian> Parogar, It's a lot easier if you type everything on one line
[03:52] <Parogar> booted rom teh HDD that ubuntu was in, and ubuntu worked
[03:52] <Parogar> ok sorry
[03:52] <darolu> superloooooser: with that ram, any ubuntu distro should run relatively fine
[03:52] <ChogyDan> Parogar: do you have multiple drives?
[03:52] <Dj-Pilot94> Linux is not windows
[03:52] <Parogar> So I booted from the hard drive that ubuntu was in. And everything worked fine in ubuntu, but I really needed to get windows 7 back
[03:52] <Parogar> Yes I do
[03:53] <darolu> superloooooser: I have a similar computer (P3@650Mhx with 384MB RAM) running Debian 5 amazingly fast
[03:53] <Radio-b> 600mhz what
[03:53] <Dj-Pilot94> Did you install to the WHOLE disk?
[03:53] <ChogyDan> Parogar: you may need to change which drive the computer is booting from in the bios
[03:53] <mrkim> Houston, we have a problem!  I'm runnin 9.10 (386) w/proprietary nVidia 185 drivers & installed a kernel update this morning, then rebooted as instructed. Machine reboots->username screen ->password sreen then ... the ubuntu logo and progress bar vanish leaving only the login screen background on the screen.  No windows to enter any info into, nothing, just the login screen background.  I worked with 2 folks here this morning and did
[03:53] <Parogar> So I tried the recovery console, it no longer could find my windows installation. I used bootsect to repair the mbr to no avail. Now i just installed a fresh copy of windows 7 and formatted the ubuntu one. And now windows 7 loadsinto a black screen and grub is still on my PC
[03:53] <superloooooser> 600mhz intel pentium 3 (as oppossed to an awesome 600mhz omap3 arm)
[03:53] <Parogar> ChogyDan: I have tried manually  booting from each drive to no avail
[03:54] <Dj-Pilot94> Yea i did that before
[03:54] <Dj-Pilot94> i used nuke and boot and redid everything
[03:54] <Parogar> this happened to you?
[03:54] <Dj-Pilot94> I had no data i needed to keep tho
[03:54] <Dj-Pilot94> Yea kinda
[03:55] <Dj-Pilot94> Not with win 7 tho
[03:55] <Parogar> Kinda wish I never got involved now
[03:55] <Dj-Pilot94> :P
[03:55] <Parogar> Ubuntu just wiped out my entire system lol
[03:55] <Parogar> If I could only get rid of Grub
[03:55] <Out_Cold> Parogar, to ubuntu's defence... YOU erased everything.. not ubuntu
[03:55] <Dj-Pilot94> Did you happen to use THe WIBI ( the exe to instal inside windows )
[03:55] <Parogar> no
[03:56] <seanbrystone_> Wubi*
[03:56] <Hellhound666> Hi, I'm having a bit of a problem with java.  My plugin installer isn't showing up in my browser anymore.
[03:56] <Out_Cold> Parogar, look at Hirem's boot CD
[03:56] <Dj-Pilot94> Also i agree with Old cold
[03:56] <port80> Parogar: did you want to try Ubuntu, but still keep windows?
[03:56] <Parogar> I didn't erase anything Out_Cold
[03:56] <Parogar> my important windows 7 is still on the hdd
[03:56] <neezer> what is a great Wireless router with wired gigabit ethernet on it? I'm not really looking for anything fancy.\
[03:56] <Parogar> my motherboard/mbr or whatever just doesn't know it's there
[03:56] <Parogar> I didn't change a single thing on it
[03:56] <neezer> Wireless N would be nice.
[03:56] <Out_Cold> !grub
[03:56] <Out_Cold> !grub2
[03:56] <Radio-b> you can either reinstall grub or run the windows repair utility
[03:57] <ChogyDan> Parogar: can you keep your comments to a single line?
[03:57] <Dj-Pilot94> !grub 2
[03:57] <Radio-b> depends on what you like to see first
[03:57] <Parogar> Ubuntu did something to my mbr and now I can't boot to anything anymore. Sure chogy, sorry
[03:57] <Dj-Pilot94> !grub2
[03:57] <rastasean> warriorforgod, i'm back. its been a very long time since i used webmin. does it require apache on?
[03:57] <Dj-Pilot94> par
[03:58] <ChogyDan> !webmin | rastasean
[03:58] <Kalidarn> how do you make the keyboard map permanent ie: setxkbmap us
[03:58] <stealth-> while trying to install TOR in the ubuntu live cd, I added the respritory, and then apt-get crashes while downloading with "tor: Depends: tsocks but it is not installable". Anyone know what to do here?
[03:58] <Dj-Pilot94> parogar - type !grub2
[03:58] <Parogar> !grub2
[03:59] <rastasean> ubottu, thats sad. does that require apache on?
[03:59] <ChogyDan> stealth-: maybe you need to enable the universe repos
[03:59] <darkstar1> What's the command option to run cairo dock with no openGL as my openGL version is broken?
[03:59] <ph1g> So i'm running xdmcp on my ubunut box. When I hit it from a terminal, it loads up but it's running really sllllloooowwww. It doesn't seem like a resource issue - plenty of cpu and mem not used and the CLI runs fine.
[03:59] <ph1g> Any pointers?
[03:59] <Dj-Pilot94> grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards.
[03:59] <stealth-> ChogyDan: Okay, I'll give it a shot.
[03:59] <naquan> !grub
[03:59] <darkstar1> Yes I asked in #cairo but no one's answering
[03:59] <ph1g> !xdmcp
[04:00] <naquan> !gtk
[04:00] <Parogar> This is weird. Now I can't even boot into the windows recovery DvD?
[04:01] <Dj-Pilot94> make sure you boot to CD in bios
[04:01] <Radio-b> Parogar: with bios boot sequence set to CDROM?
[04:01] <stealth-> ChogyDan: It worked :) Thanks
[04:01] <Dj-Pilot94> What Radio-b said
[04:01] <ChogyDan> np
[04:01] <Parogar> yeah, It tries to, I see the windows logo, and then I get a black screen
[04:01] <Parogar> I think I just destroyed my entire PC
[04:01] <Semitones> is it possible to give pulseaudio a higher priority? So my audio doesn't stutter whenever the CPU does something else?
[04:01] <Radio-b> that sounds like hardware failure
[04:01] <RPS> Hello Guys, could someone take a look at the something for me & make sure I'm thinking correctly (before I melt my laptop down?) LOL https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto
[04:01] <lucio> como es el canal en español
[04:01] <nomnex> I need package information: what do I need from the repos (9.10) to be started with LaTex. Is "texlive-latex-base" the full or meta-package for LaTex? Total beginner here. Thanks
[04:01] <RPS> It's simple what I want to know
[04:02] <Ritlee> Semitones try nice?
[04:02] <Parogar> It's not. The only change I've made in this last year is downloading that ubuntu ISO
[04:02] <Parogar> It crippled my entire PC
[04:02] <Ritlee> semitones nice -9 or 10 is default
[04:02] <Radio-b> hardware death happens regardless of what you download
[04:03] <Dj-Pilot94> Parogar - Downlaoding something will not kill your PC
[04:03] <Kalidarn> hmm, usually you change the keyboard in xorg.conf however it's not in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:03] <Parogar> I'm sure there is probably some really difficult method of getting SOMETHING back up and running.
[04:03] <Out_Cold> Parogar, please don't blame your downfalls on ubuntu or us.. instead look for solutions using ubottu, google, ubuntu forums and lastly us
[04:03] <Kalidarn> haie with Option "XkbLayout" "us"
[04:04] <ng0n> update blew my grub file.. what do i do ?
[04:04] <Radio-b> if your system fails to boot a windows disc, something is more wrong than the software
[04:04] <mrkim> Houston, we have a problem! Runnin 9.10 (386) w/ nVidia 185 drivers & installed a kernel update this morning, rebooted as instructed. Machine reboots->username screen ->password sreen then ... the ubuntu logo and progress bar vanish leaving only the login screen background on the screen.  I worked with 2 folks here this morning and did verify that my Xserver is ok so it doesn't seem to have anything to do with my display capabilites.
[04:04] <Absolute0> How can I use the open source ati driver?
[04:04] <Absolute0> there is not default xorg.conf file
[04:04] <Absolute0> *no
[04:04] <Radio-b> (assuming it booted windows prior)
[04:04] <Dj-Pilot94> ng0n i had that same thing happen to me
[04:04] <ng0n> dj. uggg. it's sick huh ?
[04:04] <Dj-Pilot94> Huh?
[04:05] <ng0n> i'm using wubi. if it was on a linux filesystem i could fix it.
[04:05] <ng0n> but wubi is new to me.
[04:05] <ChogyDan> Semitones: I heard that was delayed.  Maybe in lucid or something
[04:05] <Dj-Pilot94> Dont use Wubi
[04:05] <ng0n> now u tell me :)
[04:05] <rastasean> does anyone know how to get video chat working with the kopete application for yahoo
[04:05] <ng0n> it's been updating FINE for a month.
[04:05] <ng0n> o well.
[04:05] <Dj-Pilot94> I have never had it work for me and just ends up haveing to reinstall everything
[04:05] <rastasean> they submit it for me to see and i accept but never shows up
[04:05] <rerere> Hello good people, can someone please help me? I have installed ubuntu on my ps3, did everything correct but the user i have created do not have permissions to change anything... even if i try to poen "user and groups" automatically receive a message "you have no permissions"
[04:06] <ng0n> i can't seem to boot it from grub.
[04:06] <Dj-Pilot94> rererere use sudo COMMAND
[04:06] <ng0n> it finds the vmlinuz.. but blows up on initrd.
[04:06] <ng0n> sudo.. hmmm.
[04:06] <Kalidarn> what's the correct way to change the keyboard layout systemwide?
[04:06] <ng0n> on initrd it says "no such disk'
[04:07] <cheako> Hay, runlevel returned unknowen.  so I ran telinit 2 and my system came up.  Would that mean something happened?
[04:07] <Ritlee> rerere have you tried to use sudo?
[04:07] <Semitones> Ritlee, ChogyDan, if pulseaudio is already nice -9 by default, would making it even less nice really help things?
[04:07] <port80> Parogar: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk
[04:07] <Ritlee> hehe semitones, use nice -7
[04:07] <ng0n> is there a wubi amd 64 boot CD somewhere ?
[04:07] <Semitones> ?
[04:07] <ng0n> i can fix it if i can get into it.
[04:07] <Semitones> wouldn't that make it stutter more
[04:07] <Ritlee> your programs open at -9 by default, the lower the number the higher the priority
[04:08] <Semitones> oooh
[04:08] <Absolute0> The default ubuntu install has no xorg.conf, how can I add more resolutions?
[04:08] <Semitones> Ritlee, I thought positive numbers were "nice," ie they let for other things to finish first
[04:08] <Parogar> I have just made some progess. I was able to put ubuntu at least, back on my PC. but only after removing every single trace of windows. What it seems like is that ubuntu wasn't at fault after all. it seems like Windows didn't like glub, and set off a bomb in everything
[04:08] <rerere> thank you very much dj-pilot and ritlee yes i already try sudo but it starts saying that my user name is not on sudoers file
[04:08] <nomnex> Kalidarn, system, preference, keyboard
[04:08] <ChogyDan> Absolute0: have you tried xrandr?
[04:08] <Semitones> Ritlee, so the more negative a number was, the higher priority :P
[04:08] <Ritlee> semitones hehe the - signifies an option
[04:08] <Absolute0> ChogyDan: I tried the gui tool
[04:08] <Semitones> oh!
[04:09] <Semitones> haha
[04:09] <Billiard> Absolute0: you can use an xorg.conf if you make one
[04:09] <Ritlee> semitones no
[04:09] <Absolute0> Billiard: i'd probably mess that up
[04:09] <Dj-Pilot94> Parogar : Now reinstall windows
[04:09] <Parogar> The ubuntu disc was able to repair my mbr, and I'm now able to boot into things again, but only after I completley removed everything windows. For better or for worse, looks like I'll be stuck with ubuntu for awhile
[04:09] <Billiard> Absolute0: what gfx card do you have?
[04:09] <Absolute0> Billiard: radeon hd 5570
[04:10] <donvito2> !counterstrike
[04:10] <Absolute0> not supported :)
[04:10] <Billiard> Absolute0: ok idk what the ati tool is
[04:10] <donvito2> !counter-strike
[04:10] <donvito2> !cs
[04:10] <Dj-Pilot94> Parogor : Now reinstall windows
[04:10] <Absolute0> Screen 0: minimum 640 x 400, current 1400 x 1050, maximum 1400 x 1050
[04:10] <Absolute0> my screen is 1920x1080
[04:10] <Parogar> Dj-Pilo94: I think I'm going to hold off on that. My #1 use of my PC is programming and watching movies. since I reformatted my PC, I won't be able to use windows anymore anyway
[04:10] <Hellhound666> this doesn't make any sense, I just installed java and I go to test my java and supposedly it doesn't exist???
[04:10] <Parogar> Microsoft only lets you format 3 times with the one I bought, after that they won't let you use the serial anymore
 cheako: edit /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf and remove "and net-device-up IFACE=lo" from the "start on" line
[04:11] <donvito2> how to edit ifconfig
[04:11] <Dj-Pilot94> parogar : Oh wow i forgot but you could install it and use the tiral at least
[04:11] <Ritlee> parogar, lol call them to activate they'll reset it
[04:11] <Radio-b> uh
[04:11] <Dj-Pilot94> And then get a new key
[04:11] <holmser> I'm trying to set up a mail server, and I can recieve mail perfectly, but when I go to send mail I get this error:  Mar  4 20:10:01 H4ckM3 postfix/smtpd[32548]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from m0f0e36d0.tmodns.net[<IP_ADDRESS>]: 554 5.7.1<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Relay access denied<EMAIL_ADDRESS><EMAIL_ADDRESS>proto=ESMTP helo=<localhost>
[04:11] <Radio-b> you can install as many times as you want so long as the hardware doesn't change drastically
[04:11] <port80> Parogar: if you need windows, you can also do a trick that i am doing.  I have a PC that is work issued, so I cannot put anything on it but I still wanted Linux for my own use.  So I put it on an external usb drive and boot from that when it is not work; leaving the windows C: drive alone.  works fine.
[04:11] <Red_HamsterX> holmser, that's likely greylisting.
[04:11] <Kalidarn> how do you make the keyboard map permanent ie: setxkbmap us
[04:12] <holmser> greylisting?
[04:12] <Hellhound666> yet somehow I'm playing double dragon in java...yet I can't launch java virtual machine.  java --version
[04:12] <Dj-Pilot94> I do what port 80 did
[04:12] <archlich> holmser, you didn't enable mail relaying on postfix
[04:12] <Red_HamsterX> holmser, send it again in about ten to thirty minutes. Google the concept.
[04:12] <rastasean> so i'm looking to an alternative to webmin and ebox. does one exist?
[04:12] <holmser> will do
[04:12] <Hellhound666> dunno I'll come back...
[04:12] <Parogar> In the long run this is probably for the best. I don't like how fragile windows is. It blows up if you do anything
[04:12] <Dj-Pilot94> OLny if you dont know what your doing...
[04:12] <Ritlee> we might have a convert yet
[04:12] <Radio-b> I'm really curious as what you are doing Parogar
[04:13] <ChogyDan> Hellhound666: java -version
[04:13] <Dj-Pilot94> Me too
[04:13] <Parogar> I don't profess to be the greatest at anything. But if windows is going to massacre my mbr just because I installed ubuntu
[04:13] <Parogar> Then perhaps I am not smart enough to use it
[04:13] <Dj-Pilot94> Lawl
[04:13] <Dj-Pilot94> How old are you? 13?
[04:13] <Parogar> 21
[04:13] <mikebuntu> looking for a gmail checker app of some sort that works with IMAP IDLE and also has filtered notifications... any ideas?
[04:13] <Scarra3> What is a good software for ubuntu that allows me to encrypt my thumb drives
[04:13] <Radio-b> your windows 7 serial will work as many times as you want if the hardware doesn't change
[04:14] <Radio-b> I don't know where you're getting that info from
[04:14] <Dj-Pilot94> scarra3 - Hang on i can help let me just get the name
[04:14] <Parogar> I bought an OEM copy from newegg. They don't follow the same rules as regular copies
[04:14] <mrkim> Parogar, I'm 53 and I can break ubuntu like a champ ;-)
[04:14] <Radio-b> yeah they do
[04:14] <Dj-Pilot94> OEM will install 9999999 times if its windows 7
[04:15] <Hellhound666> ChoggyDan:  can't start java virtual machine
[04:15] <Radio-b> the only reason it wouldn't validate is if the hardware was changed
[04:15] <Radio-b> or died somehow
[04:15] <Radio-b> yeah, I think you have some hardware failure somewhere
[04:15] <Hellhound666> could not create java virtual machine.  strange I'm playing a java game online right now
[04:15] <ChogyDan> Hellhound666: o well, when I had 2 -'s, it gave me that error, but one -, it was fine.  Maybe you could pastebin everything
[04:15] <Parogar> I really don't think my hardware is failing. After reinstalling Ubuntu, and deleting all my windows partitions, I'm able to get into ubuntu and run perfectly
[04:15] <darkstar1> what is the best GUI program/widget/tool for configuring SAMBA?
[04:16] <Flare183> !best | darkstar1
[04:16] <holmser> whats strange is that I can telnet into postfix and send messages to my gmail account
[04:16] <Radio-b> no one knows the story regardless
[04:16] <holmser> but it won't let me send messages from my phone
[04:16] <Ritlee> Parogar, seriously, call to activate, they will reset if you explain, they don't ask many q's and it doesn't matter oem or not
[04:16] <port80> Parogar: there is a learning curve to Linux, but relax, it gets easier.  Besides, if you use windows, you can use it forever and never learn a thing; but w/ Linux you will learn so much every time you boot... explore, enjoy.
[04:16] <Hellhound666> CoggyDan:  I'm going to try and get some things working and I'll let you know when the errors start flyin at me.
[04:16] <Scarra3> Ok thx Dj-Pilot94
[04:17] <Parogar> I am going to stick with it for quite a bit. Ritlee: I will call them, but you really think they will let me reactive if I explain it?
[04:17] <Hellhound666> thanks though
[04:17] <Ritlee> hehe port80 i agree completely... though take my class and i might get a fchance to show you a thing or two with windows ;) sadly i have to teach it... amy uses it :(
[04:17] <Parogar> From this whole experience, I gather that the step where I went wrong, was NOT using a guided install. It was at that point that everything broke
[04:17] <darkstar1> ubottu: I'm new to the whole linux thing and samba. I'm also determined to fully make the transition this time that's why I'm asking because I'm not even sure I have a gui for configuring it on my system
[04:18] <lyrae> could i ask for ffmeg help here? and encoders?
[04:18] <Parogar> the only reason I did a manual install in the first place, was because it was the only option that allowed me to select the partition that I wanted to put it on.
[04:18] <RPS> Hey Guys I'm being asked to reboot from terminal window & I can't figure out if I need to just hit reboot or do something else before I reboot. I've pasted in what they asked for & now I'm not sure... can someone take a moment and look it over?

[04:18] <vavoysh> Hi, I have a question. A few months ago, my computer's sound card started emitting static. I disabled the mike, removed all peripherals, and there was still static. I opened up the case to check the wires, and they appear fine. I have another sound card in my computer, a CA106 Soundblaster, only it doesn't work in ubuntu, even after messing with it in alsamixer. It does work in windows. I went through the huge thread in the fo
[04:18] <vavoysh> rums pertaining to sound cards, and it didn't work. Can anyone help me either remove the static or get the other sound card to work? Thank you in advance
[04:18] <mrkim> Parogar, once you get used to it you'll throw rocks at 7
[04:19] <ZykoticK9> RPS, to reboot from terminal you can use "sudo shutdown -r now"
[04:19] <RPS> Dang it looks like its sound card day
[04:19] <Hellhound666> ChoggyDan:  Well i'm installing Netbeans, it has everything so if I still run into problems then I won't know what to do.
[04:19] <RPS> ZykoticK9, well it's a weird place I'm at
[04:20] <ZykoticK9> RPS, did you create a pastebin?  if so what's the link?

[04:20] <port80> Ritlee: I am sure I would learn a lot; but i have so much to learn here.  I will say that I think it was a good thing that Microsoft will allow you to download Visual C++ for free.  Perhaps a smart move on their part.
[04:20] <RPS> ZykoticK9, I'll do it right away! Thanks
[04:21] <Ritlee> port80, they need a lot more good moves to do anything good anymore
[04:21] <ChogyDan> Hellhound666: i dunno, sorry
[04:21] <holmser> anyone feel like taking the time to help me troubleshoot this mail server problem?
[04:21] <holmser> I would really appreciate it

[04:24] <Ritlee> vavoysh your card is probably going south
[04:24] <bazhang> Ritlee, port80 please continue this in #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:24] <vavoysh> Ritlee, which one? The static or the soundblaster?
[04:24] <Parogar> Just tried reinstalling windows 7, and it blew up ubuntu lol. I guess I really have to pick between one or the other
[04:24] <Ritlee> vavoysh, the one emitting the static
[04:25] <Ritlee> sorry bazhang
[04:25] <Parogar> the mbr doesn't seem to abe able to acoomdate them both. I must be doing something wrong.
[04:25] <vavoysh> Ritlee, so do you know how to get the soundblaster one working?
[04:25] <rastasean> hello people. i am looking for an alternative to ebox and webmin. Do any of you know an alternative?
[04:25] <mrkim> Parogar, you need to install windows 1st, then ubuntu
[04:25] <ZykoticK9> RPS, i'm no sound expert - but from the help.ubuntu site instructions it seems like you should reboot after your change from your pastebin
[04:25] <Ritlee> yeah but it under your tire before you go to work

[04:55] <Dj-Pilot94> Coz - i cant understand what you said please re-ask
[04:55] <gopi> k
[04:56] <coz_> Dj-Pilot94,  ok... applications/games/chess.. the movement of the pieces are slow and "jerky"  last install of karmic... I had installed some application that require a few libraries and after wards chess worked smooth
[04:56] <RPS> Ok Guys, I actually fixed it with the line I added a 15 minutes ago, but missed one setting ...when I got it right everything is fine now. Thanks to ALL who worked towards helping me fix things! It appears that Ubuntu works too well these days and us "less educated" linux people can;t remember everything we learn because we don;t have to use the things we learn often enough! :) Once again Thanks!

[05:01] <ranjan> major_redhat, ok...:)
[05:01] <Ritlee> rww, ummm gimme a minute lol

[05:02] <gopi> Jon-4: on karmic?
[05:02] <Serraphyn> Is there an easy way to repartition a hard drive without loosing the data so that I can make a partition to install the pre-release versions of ubuntu?
[05:02] <booboo> ranjan,  here are a few screenshots of radience  http://www.speedyshare.com/files/21264410/radience.tar.gz
[05:02] <rastasean> claws_, google them
[05:03] <rastasean> claws_, what do you want to do?
[05:03] <Jon-4> gopi: Yes
[05:03] <Ritlee> rww it's a dell mini-9 fyi
[05:03] <coz_> ranjan,   that was me from the other machine:)
[05:03] <rww> Ritlee: do you have an ethernet cable or something you can use for internet access temporarily?
[05:03] <Ritlee> sure
[05:04] <claws_> rastasean: well... this is my 10'th day on linux.. i realy need to learn from basics
[05:04] <Dj-Pilot94> http://www.linuxconfig.org/Bash_scripting_Tutorial
[05:04] <rastasean> claws_, type in a command and --help it will tell you all it does
[05:04] <Ritlee> rww, plugged in now
[05:04] <rastasean> claws_, congrats on using linux
[05:05] <genii> !cli
[05:05] <rww> Ritlee: Install Ubuntu as normal. After installation, restart into the new install, plug in the ethernet cable, and do "sudo apt-get update" then "sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter bcmwl-kernel-source". Restart. It should then work fine.
[05:05] <gopi> Jon-4: do a fsck
[05:05] <rww> Ritlee: the b43-fwcutter package will ask you whether to download firmware during installation. Hit yes, and make sure you leave it connected to the internet all the way through the installation
[05:06] <carlll> i just got my ubuntu cd in the mail but i realized i want kubuntu WHAT DOES I DO?
[05:06] <Ritlee> rww okay, got that saved in a txt... now how 'bout the mini's crazy screen size will it be supported?
[05:07] <Jon-4> gopi: Failed, see http://pastebin.com/GApRNLyx
[05:07] <vorian> carlll: download kubuntu or request a kubuntu cd from shipit
[05:07] <carlll> OK i will do that
[05:07] <rww> Ritlee: I'm using a Dell Mini 10v, with 1024x600 resolution. It works fine, though I occasionally have to hold down alt and drag windows around to see all of them.
[05:07] <carlll> ty
[05:07] <Ritlee> rww resolution is 1024x600
[05:07] <coz_> ranjan,   I dont think those themes will work on karmic however  they do need a different engine and I dont see reference to that
[05:07] <bazhang> carlll, install kubuntu-desktop then remove gnome?
[05:07] <Ritlee> rww sweeeeeeeet
[05:08] <claws_> rastasean: thank u :) im happy it made me able to throw ms cd's in my fireplace yesterday
[05:08] <gopi> Jon-4: ROOT?
[05:08] <rastasean> claws_, good place for them! ha
[05:08] <Ritlee> tyvm sounds like a weekend project
[05:08] <Jon-4> gopi: Same error. It's in FAT not EXT2
[05:08] <coz_> ranjan,  however...if you go here    http://www.webupd8.org/2010/02/install-proposed-community-themes.html  it tells you how to install the updated murrine engine for thise to work in karmic
[05:08] <Jon-4> gopi: Does fsck work on FAT?
[05:09] <gopi> Jon-4: try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery
[05:09] <Jon-4> gopi: [FAT32 of course]
[05:09] <fannagoganna1> Jon-4, fsck works on vfat, prob. not FAT
[05:09] <ranjan> coz_, k thank you..from the same site i found it..thanks for ur help :)
[05:09] <Jon-4> I just had a USB drive in my computer, and I deleted a file, went to umount it, it said "would you like to empty trash?" I said yes, and then after 2-3 minutes of it still waiting to be safely removed, I pulled it myself. Now over half my files have garbaged names like<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Any way to recover my data?
[05:09] <genii> Jon-4: fsck.vfat
[05:10] <genii> Jon-4: Also remember to use something like sync to flush computer data to removable media before actually pulling them out
[05:11] <Jon-4> genii: Additional help please? It's asking me 1) Copy original to backup 2) Copy backup to original 3) quit, and what do you mean by "use something like sync to flush computer data  . . ."
[05:11] <rick_> hey whats up?
[05:13] <mrkim> Please help if you can. Runnin 9.10 (386)  & installed a kernel update this morning, rebooted as instructed. After entering user/pass the ubuntu logo and progress bar vanish leaving only the login screen background on the screen.  Worked with 2 folks here this morning and did verify that my video settings are Ok.  I'm on my second machine which I have also already taken the same update but haven't rebooted yet before getting my other
[05:14] <genii> Jon-4: USB drives, or other removeable media like external hard drives... the data you think is written to them is not always immediately written to the physical device yet but waiting in a queue on the computer until so much data gathers and then it is written. When you issue command: sync     it flushes the data residing on the computer to the external storage and writes it making sure no half-written things are existing.
[05:14] <carlllewispope> I have a very dumb question, but i want to know the answer,
[05:14] <carlllewispope> When I'm using windows vista my laptop gets kinda hot, but when i switch to ubuntu on the same laptop it stays between cool and a little warm. why is this?
[05:14] <Jon-4> genii: Ok, as for now, I want to copy backup TO original yes? This would restore what it can? Other option is copy original to backup.
[05:15] <Ritlee> carlllewispope, could be just not as many processes taxing out your cpu
[05:15] <tp43_> carlllewispope, you got viruses
[05:15] <tp43_> carlllewispope, somebody is sleeping in your bed
[05:16] <bazhang> tp43_, that is not appropriate for here
[05:17] <genii> Jon-4: You said earlier yo wanted to try and rescue data off it. For that I'd suggest ddrescue. As for copying orignal to backup or backup to original, etc... I have no context for how you are using that
[05:17] <Jon-4> genii: Here's context:
[05:17] <Interficio> now that asoundconf has been removed, how do I switch soundcards?
[05:17] <Jon-4> sudo fsck.vfat /dev/sdc1
[05:17] <Jon-4> [sudo] password for jon:
[05:17] <Jon-4> dosfsck 3.0.3, 18 May 2009, FAT32, LFN
[05:17] <Jon-4> There are differences between boot sector and its backup.
[05:17] <Jon-4> Differences: (offset:original/backup)
[05:17] <FloodBot4> Jon-4: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:17] <Jon-4>   65:01/00
[05:17]  * genii sips
[05:18] <Jon-4> My bad, should have pastbined it.
[05:18] <carlll> is there a way to get internet explorer on ubuntu?
[05:19] <Ritlee> carlll WHY!!!!
[05:19] <archlich> carlll, yes, check out wine, i'll get you a link
[05:19] <superfirelord42> carlll: yes, use wine
[05:19] <genii> carlll: Aside from the question of "WHY?"  google ie4l
[05:19] <Jon-4> genii: Should I use ddrescue before fsck.vfat ?
[05:19] <genii> Jon-4: Yes
[05:19] <carlll> idk i like ie more than any except google's
[05:19] <archlich> carlll, http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks
[05:19] <Ritlee> carlll ie is horrible
[05:20] <archlich> you can install wine from the repositories
[05:21] <Ritlee> ie is a resource hog, and atleast inside of windows is a portal for malware
[05:21] <Jon-4> genii: How do I use this? Just sudo ddresuce /dev/sdc1 /some/backup/location?
[05:21] <superfirelord42> carlll: just to warn you, i show that IE6 is rated only at bronze by the wine appdb
[05:21] <iflema> carlll copy and paste this into a terminal sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chromium-daily && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install chromium-browser
[05:22] <Ritlee> chromium = google chrome?
[05:22] <ZykoticK9> carlll, if you must have ie (for reasons I cannot even fathom) you might want to check out ies4linux at http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page
[05:22] <coz_> ranjan,   dont forget to reboot for those to take effect by the way :)
[05:22] <impi_> morning, and happy friday, does anyone know of some clock in software?
[05:22] <ZykoticK9> Ritlee, actually "chromium != google chrome"
[05:23] <Ritlee> lol k thx :P
[05:23] <DcMeese> Guyz, what are the best ubuntu packages on software center? I have PuTTY already.
[05:23] <coz_> impi_,   like for the desktop?
[05:23] <archlich> DcMeese, what are your requirements
[05:23] <ZykoticK9> Ritlee, chrome is based off of chromium though
[05:23] <superfirelord42> DcMeese: depends on what you want to do
[05:23] <tp43_> I think chrome browser is missing zooming and horizontal scroll
[05:23] <impi_> coz_, uhm, ja or web?
[05:23] <Jon-4> genii: How do I use this? Just sudo ddresuce /dev/sdc1 /some/backup/location? I don't want to break anything.
[05:23] <Ritlee> ZykoticK9, love the response, and the extra info thx
[05:23] <coz_> impi_,  there are several ways to get a clock on the desktop...one is sudo apt-get install screenlets... the other is sudo apt-get install cairo-clock
[05:24] <coz_> impi_,   that nick reminds me of the now gone pay version of ubuntu
[05:24] <impi_> coz_, lol sorry, maybe i explained wrong. clock-in to show my boss when i arrive at the office and when i leave :D
[05:24] <DcMeese> Im a webdesigner, I create iPhone themes, and I want to create cydia repositories, and also compile deb's
[05:24] <coz_> impi_,  oh  sorry :)
[05:24] <coz_> impi_,  time clock
[05:24] <impi_> coz_, ja in my country south africa an impi is a zulu warrior - lol
[05:25] <impi_> coz_, thank you let me check it out
[05:25] <coz_> impi_,  yes and  the icon for  impi linux was a zulu shield
[05:25] <Jon-4> I just had a USB drive in my computer, and I deleted a file, went to umount it, it said "would you like to empty trash?" I said yes, and then after 2-3 minutes of it still waiting to be safely removed, I pulled it myself. Now over half my files have garbaged names like<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Any way to recover my data? [I have ddresuce but I don't want to use it improperly, anyone help?]
[05:26] <superfirelord42> Jon-4: umount the drive now to preserve data
[05:26] <Ritlee> jon-4 haven't you been listening to what people have been telling you?
[05:26] <coz_> ranjan,  i am liking this one theme radiance  :)
[05:27] <Jon-4> Ritlee: He just told me to "run ddresuce" and didn't tell me how to use it. Thanks for being a jerk
[05:27] <Jon-4> superfirelord42: Done
[05:27] <rastasean> does ANYONE have experience with ebox?
[05:28] <superfirelord42> Jon-4: use ddrescue to make sure to get a good image of the USB drive.
[05:28] <DcMeese> archlich & superfirelord42:  Im a webdesigner, I create iPhone themes, and I want to create cydia repositories, and also compile deb's... I am also interested in customizing the boot menu...
[05:28] <soreau> ! anyone | rastasean
[05:28] <archlich> DcMeese, mind if i pm you? i have a hust list
[05:28] <Jon-4> superfirelord42: so remount, and then do sudo ddresuce /dev/sdc1 /some/backup/location  ?
[05:28] <archlich> huge* list
[05:28] <Hellhound666> Is there a way to list IDE devices like you can with pci or usb devices?
[05:28] <rastasean> I am looking assistance with ebox and installing it on ubuntu.
[05:28] <DcMeese> archlich: Go ahead
[05:28] <superfirelord42> Jon-4: you should not need to remount the drive
[05:28] <{CR}ronos> hi my video card has fried so i am now using my onboard graphics, but i do not have the correct drivers installed. how can i do this?
[05:29] <Jon-4> superfirelord42: ok
[05:29] <DcMeese> HUST LIST!!?!!
[05:29] <Ritlee> Jon-4, http://www.forensicswiki.org/wiki/Ddrescue
[05:29] <rastasean> {CR}ronos, attempt to scan hardware
[05:30] <cy__> hello very one
[05:30] <carlll> ok i know i just asked about ie but i also want THE FASTEST browser. (any suggestions?)
[05:30] <superfirelord42> DcMeese: from what I read, cydia tutorials for debian are valid in ubuntu. i dont know about iphone themes, i tend to only do function grub modifications, so i dont know anything special for that, but I found a list of software for web devel for ubuntu http://tips.webdesign10.com/using-linux-for-web-design-and-development-ubuntu
[05:30] <Hellhound666> what's the command for this cronos?
[05:30] <soreau> {CR}ronos: What is your card model as reported by the output of lspci|grep VGA?
[05:30] <Hellhound666> oh lol
[05:31] <Hellhound666> I'm an idiot
[05:31] <coz_> carlll,  chromium....
[05:31] <natethegreat1419> logout
[05:31] <coz_> carlll,  if you want one that already to go
[05:31] <superfirelord42> Jon-4: once you use the drive to get an image of the drive, you can try to run photorec to recover individual files from both the drive and the image. Is this a flash disk or a usb hard disk?
[05:31] <dyess002> I need help     I have changed to a session called Matchbox and now it is unresponsive and I can't log out and change the session. I can Log out but it don't give me the option to change sessions anymore it just goes back to Matchbox
[05:32] <superfirelord42> carlll: IMHO that is chrome/chromium
[05:32] <archlich> carlll, prism =p
[05:32] <archlich> Hellhound666, you can do a fdisk -l   to show all disk drives/partitions
[05:32] <Hellhound666> I'm looking for an old DVD drive connected via IDE
[05:33] <dyess002> I have tried   gdmflexiserver but that won't work
[05:33] <Hellhound666> archlich:  I need to scan for CD drives
[05:34] <Jon-4> superfirelord42: This is just a 4GB USB thumb stick, so I would assume it's flash.
[05:34] <soreau> dyess002: Sounds like its bypassing your DM
[05:34] <archlich> Hellhound666, lshal might suite your needs
[05:34] <superfirelord42> Hellhound666: did the BIOS show that the drive is connected during post?
[05:34] <coz_> carlll,  the problem with chormium is it doesnt have the plugins that I use on firefox
[05:34] <soreau> dyess002: How did you enable the matchbox session?
[05:34] <mdel> coz_: yeah like FIREBUG
[05:34] <superfirelord42> Jon-4: okay
[05:34] <Jon-4> superfirelord42: Almost done first pass through [just a --no-split] with 0 errors
[05:35] <dyess002> I loged out and changed it from there
[05:35] <coz_> mdel,  havent tried that one  ..googling now :)
[05:35] <mdel> coz_: only useful if your a webdev
[05:35] <Hellhound666> superfirelord:  yes it sure did it's weird.
[05:35] <srini> Ubuntu Support Internet Explorer>

[05:35] <RPS> Guys is there any other place to check volume controls. Mine seems a little bit lower than before. I opened alsamixer in the terminal and cranked it up to 100
[05:35] <xiambax> Hey, I just had an idea but I don't know if anyone has done it before. I installed the ubuntu netbook remix UI on a base install of ubuntu for a HDTV setup and it works awesome
[05:35] <superfirelord42> Jon-4: you used it to create an image file?
[05:35] <holgatti> Can anyone tell me how to install my drivers for a Gforce 6600? where can I find the drivers for kharma koala?
[05:36] <coz_> mdel,  oo I play and tinker so maybe I can try this one :)
[05:36] <Hellhound666> superfirelord:  It has to be some sort of hardware failure.  maybe there is a bent pin in there, or the drive is just failing.  It's really old.
[05:36] <xiambax> The big clickable buttons work great
[05:36] <mdel> coz_: its awesome.. simply the best
[05:36] <superfirelord42> Hellhound666: thats really strange there, normally from my expirence if it shows in POST, linux finds it
[05:36] <Jon-4> superfirelord42: I ran "sudo ddrescue --no-split /dev/sdc1 usbback1 usblog1"  which as far as I know takes the USB drive, does not split sectors, and makes a full backup to usbback1 and a log usblog1
[05:36] <absolutex3> lolz  Youg is root on his box
[05:36] <fluxy> Hello. Is there a (simple) means to do mesh (wifi) networking in ubuntu?
[05:37] <Jon-4> superfirelord42: It finished with 0 errors.
[05:37] <genii> Jon-4: Apologies, had a system lockup and required reboot. Syntax is like: ddrescue /dev/sdX# /some/other/place/not/on/sdX#/backupname.img
[05:37] <Jon-4> genii: Does it work without *.img?
[05:37] <Jon-4> genii: I just ran "sudo ddrescue --no-split /dev/sdc1 usbback1 usblog1" and it finished with 0 errors.
[05:37] <Hellhound666> superfirelord:  I'm looking for a program that will scan my system hardware right now.  maybe a diag program would help too.
[05:37] <genii> Jon-4: Yes, .img is optional just makes it easier to know what type of file it is
[05:37] <superfirelord42> Hellhound666: not sure on that and im trying to log off, genii you got Jon-4?
[05:38] <holgatti> Can anyone tell me how to install my drivers for a Gforce 6600?
[05:38] <genii> superfirelord42: For a little while at least
[05:38] <Jon-4> genii: Does 0 errors mean that it did not recover anything?
[05:38] <dyess002> soreau:  I had a login screen before that but not anymore it goes straight to Matchbox
[05:38] <superfirelord42> genii I was going to have him run photorec to try to recover files on the USB
[05:38] <soreau> {CR}ronos: Whats wrong with your drivers exactly?
[05:38] <srini> i want to use internet explorer on ubuntu... how to install???
[05:39] <genii> Jon-4: No, it means that it took a bit-by-bit copy of the hard drive or partition and copied that to a file without experiencing a problem
[05:39] <holgatti> dont know where to get drivers that are compatible
[05:39] <today> srinni install inside wine
[05:39] <Hellhound666> superfirelord:  alright I'll let ya go thanks for the help anyway.
[05:39] <Jon-4> genii: Alright. What is the next step?
[05:39] <blakkheim> srini: why would you do that
[05:39] <tp43_> omg, why people luv ie so much?
[05:39] <FireCrotch> srini: I wouldn't recommend that at all - you're better off running Internet Explorer inside of a Windows virtual machine
[05:39] <soreau> dyess002: Try getting to a tty with Ctrl+Alt+F1, then kill X and do /etc/init.d/gdm start

[05:40] <FireCrotch> srini: that said, there is a project called ies4linux that allows you to do so, available here: http://www.tatanka.com.br
[05:40] <tp43_> I always install firefox, I never use ie, if I am on a windows os
[05:40] <johnnyCbad> What time did the new Lucid themes roll out? They're really great :)
[05:40] <carlll> i want "object dock" but idk if it comes FOR linux
[05:40] <genii> Jon-4: You then loop-mount the file that was made and try to copy whatever might be useful from it
[05:41] <srini> FireCrotch:: Wine support ie?
[05:41] <Ritlee> why leave windows if you can't leave IE?
[05:41] <DcMeese> srini: Why IN THE WORLD would you want IE on linux? For webpage testing?
[05:41] <Jon-4> genii: Assume I am a complete noob. I don't know how to do that.
[05:41] <soreau> {CR}ronos: Pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file to pastebin.com and quit pmming me please
[05:41] <Hellhound666> whoa whoa whoa somebody wants IE on linux...wow
[05:41] <FireCrotch> srini: Pretty much. The link that I posted makes it pretty easy to set up - it does all of the special wine configuration for you
[05:41] <Hellhound666> trying to run IE in wine?
[05:41] <johnnyCbad> Haha IE on linux
[05:41] <tp43_> lol
[05:41] <tato_42> i thought Lucid wasn't coming out until april
[05:42] <Ritlee> lol second person tonight is getting even more of a response
[05:42] <Jon-4> genii: The drive mounts fine, and the files that ARE there are fine, the issue is there are blocks of files with very odd files names that are completly unusable, I am assuming this is fragmented data from a bad removal.
[05:42] <coz_> its not
[05:42] <johnnyCbad> It can be done, install wine-tricks
[05:42] <genii> !loopmount
[05:42] <genii> Hm
[05:42] <genii> !iso
[05:42] <coz_> tato_42,  I mean you are correct
[05:42] <Hellhound666> I don't even use IE on my win7 partition.
[05:42] <tp43_> yeah, thats the second dude, unless he just changed nick
[05:42] <johnnyCbad> It isn't out, I'm using the dev release
[05:42] <Flannel> !ies4linux | srini
[05:42] <DcMeese> !wtfroflcopters
[05:43] <genii> Jon-4: Use the iso loopmount instructions but specify: -t vfat      for filetype
[05:43] <DcMeese> !google IE sucks
[05:43] <carlll> i want "object dock" but idk if it comes FOR linux.
[05:43] <Flannel> DcMeese: Please help keep this channel ontopic, thanks.
[05:43] <johnnyCbad> Lucid is going to be the best release yet, even if a lot is the default app choices for me
[05:43] <FireCrotch> DcMeese: If you'd like to play with the bot, please do so in a private message
[05:43] <srini> ok Thankyou
[05:43] <coz_> carlll, well there are docks available for linux  one is almost identical to the macosx dock  named cairo-dock
[05:44] <{CR}ronos> http://pastebin.com/yWYQPYND
[05:44] <johnnyCbad> Wish they'd get rid of openoffice though when google docs is o good
[05:44] <carlll> coz_,where can i get this "cairo-dock"??
[05:44] <johnnyCbad> I like AWN
[05:44] <coz_> carlll,   meet me in #cairo-dock channel
[05:44] <carlll> ok
[05:44] <Jon-4> genii: These are the same garbaged files as before. The others [that were still okay] have already been backed up.
[05:44] <Hellhound666> contstat problems with this java crap!!!
[05:44] <tp43_> I think cairo-docks is more functional
[05:44] <Jon-4> genii: Is there anything else I can do to try and restore those files?
[05:45] <Ritlee> johnny then how would you put ona presentation withouht openoffice presenter? will google docs full screen a second monitor?
[05:45] <Hellhound666> I just installed jdk, now I'm trying to install netbeans and at the bottom it says "No compatible JDK found"
[05:45] <today> how about Laptop mode some body
[05:45] <johnnyCbad> Ritlee: Fair point, not sure on that
[05:46] <Ritlee> johnnyCbad, hehe ;) just playin devils advocate
[05:46] <johnnyCbad> Ritlee: Although ubuntu has two virtual desktops default, it's totally possible
[05:46] <claws_> no sound on youtube :( anyone ?
[05:46] <Flannel> johnnyCbad, Ritlee: #ubuntu-offtopic is a better place for that conversation, mind taking it there?  thanks
[05:46] <johnnyCbad> Flannel: Opps, sorry
[05:47] <Ritlee> sorry flannel
[05:47] <Hellhound666> carlll:  u can easily get cario-dock through synaptic
[05:47] <Jon-4> genii: Would it be time to try fsck.vfat? I don't mean to bother you but these files are important.
[05:48] <rpk> Hey, does anyone know of any well written guides to fixing internet connection problems (i'm on ubuntu server 10.04.a.3 btw)?
[05:48] <Hellhound666> carlll:  or through the command line but you have to add the repository first I think.
[05:48] <Flannel> rpk: #ubuntu+1 for Lucid support, thanks.
[05:48] <guest1> claws: Did you check your ALSA settings?
[05:49] <rpk> Flannel: I'm pretty sure its not a lucid specific issue?  still go there anyways/
[05:49] <rpk> ?
[05:49] <claws_> guest1: doesnt say me anything
[05:49] <guest1> claws: What do you mean?
[05:49] <Flannel> rpk: Yep, alphas mean things breaking randomly is normal, so it could very well be that.
[05:50] <rpk> Flannel: kk
[05:50] <guest1> I am excited for 10.04
[05:50] <claws_> the system has sound.. but when playing through youtube... sound doesnt work
[05:50] <today> how share data between Ubuntu and window xp ? ^^ can any one help me
[05:51] <guest1> today: Do you need to access the files in windows?
[05:51] <Ritlee> today are they seperate boxes?
[05:51] <today> Guest1 i want share data
[05:51] <today> i want share date about ubuntu and windows xp at Lan
[05:52] <guest1> today: You can create a NTFS or FAT partition and then both linux and windows can see it
[05:52] <SirVirtue> Hi guys, I was wondering if you could help me with a weird problem with apt
[05:52] <Jon-4> genii: Are you there?
[05:52] <Flannel> !samba | today, you want samba:
[05:52] <Ritlee> today share a folder with full perms off of windows , and connect to it under ubuntu
[05:52] <guest1> SirVirtue: Whats going on?
[05:52] <today> Guest1 i see we can use Sam ba
[05:52] <Ritlee> should find it under the file browser
[05:53] <Jon-4> I just had a USB drive in my computer, and I deleted a file, went to umount it, it said "would you like to empty trash?" I said yes, and then after 2-3 minutes of it still waiting to be safely removed, I pulled it myself. Now over half my files have garbaged names like<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Any way to recover my data? [I have used ddrescue to create a backup, no errors were found. What is...
[05:53] <guest1> Today: I have never used it, but it looks as if it will work fine
[05:53] <Jon-4> ...the next step?]
[05:53] <SirVirtue> getting a segmentation fault or something
[05:53] <SirVirtue> should I post the error message?
[05:53] <SirVirtue> it's not too long
[05:53] <today> you never share in LAN Guest1
[05:53] <Ritlee> lol sir probably not you'll be silenced
[05:53] <SirVirtue> *nod*
[05:54] <SirVirtue> I haven't been on irc for a while
[05:54] <Ritlee> hehe
[05:54] <SirVirtue> forgotten the etiquette
[05:54] <guest1> today: No, I rarely use Windows.
[05:54] <Ritlee> heh been damn near 12 years for me
[05:54] <SirVirtue> so pastebin then?
[05:54] <Ritlee> yeah
[05:55] <today> how do we share data from windows xp to ubuntu 9.10 Guest1
[05:56] <guest1> Today: I just mount my windows partition, then copy and paste any files I need to move.
[05:56] <soreau> {CR}ronos: You need to uninstall the nvidia glx driver module
[05:56] <today> means, i want to share data for other PC on LAN ( local Aera network) guest1
[05:56] <Ritlee> today, try $mount -t NTFS <ip address of windowsbox>:<share name> /<mount point>
[05:57] <Ritlee> today i think i got the syntax right
[05:57] <SirVirtue> http://pastebin.com/hg94PMDA
[05:57] <guest1> Today: I have no clue, but I think Ritlee knows
[05:57] <SirVirtue> Ritlee: ^^
[05:57] <today> i dont understand what you say Ritlee
[05:57] <Ritlee> but also if you use the file browser in ubuntu it will most likely find the share on it's own if you look under network
[05:58] <Jon-4> I just had a USB drive in my computer, and I deleted a file, went to umount it, it said "would you like to empty trash?" I said yes, and then after 2-3 minutes of it still waiting to be safely removed, I pulled it myself. Now over half my files have garbaged names like<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Any way to recover my data? [I have used ddrescue to create a backup, no errors were found. What is...
[05:58] <Jon-4> ...the next step?]
[05:58] <today> i see, we can insall samba for share some thing at LAT
[05:58] <Logikos> got a new computer that is 64bit that came with windows7 on it, my partition programs wont work with 64bit for some reason .. if i boot to the ubuntu run cd, can i partition it useing gparted?
[05:58] <{CR}ronos> thanx but how do i go about doing that
[05:58] <Ritlee> today, an example $mount -t NTFS <IP_ADDRESS>:sharefolder /mnt
[05:58] <today> at LAn, but i don know how to config samba Ritlee
[05:58] <Logikos> i want to resize the primary partition
[05:59] <Logikos> and make another partition
[05:59] <Ritlee> ummm shouldn't need any config should work once installed
[05:59] <thales> Where is the Ubuntu 10 beta available for download?
[05:59] <guest1> Logikos: You can do it that way, or you can use the tool in windows
[05:59] <today> wow, it's straight
[05:59] <Logikos> the tool in windows doesnt allow me to shrink the partition enough
[05:59] <soreau> {CR}ronos: Look for packages with ii next to them in the output of  dpkg -l|grep -i nvidia
[05:59] <Ritlee> straight?
[05:59] <today> thales:  at Ubuntu.com
[05:59] <guest1> Logikos: Do you have the windows CD?
[06:00] <thales> I'm stumped looking for them at ubuntu.com
[06:00] <Logikos> on a 1TB drive with only like 15GB used .. it only allows me to cut the drive in half or so
[06:00] <Logikos> i want a 100GB drive for primary
[06:00] <Logikos> and the rest secondary
[06:00] <today> Ritlee: do you know how to config samba
[06:00] <kayve> I have Matlab and it requires this libdap thing and I'm lost
[06:00] <Ritlee> today, samba shouldn't need any configuring
[06:00] <{CR}ronos> thanks
[06:01] <Logikos> i dont have the windows cd no
[06:01] <kayve> it slurps data. I got rpms used alien
[06:01] <Ritlee> today, or do you mean to download?
[06:01] <Logikos> pc came with it pre-loaded
[06:01] <Logikos> but i have a win7 iso downloaded
[06:01] <Jon-4> I just had a USB drive in my computer, and I deleted a file, went to umount it, it said "would you like to empty trash?" I said yes, and then after 2-3 minutes of it still waiting to be safely removed, I pulled it myself. Now over half my files have garbaged names like<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Any way to recover my data? [I have used ddrescue to create a backup, no errors were found. What is...
[06:01] <today> what download ri
[06:01] <Jon-4> ...the next step?]
[06:01] <Logikos> via torrent
[06:01] <SirVirtue> thales: I don't think the beta is acutally out yet
[06:01] <Logikos> that i can load into a virtial drive
[06:01] <guest1> Logikos: I never had luck using Gparted to shrink my drive.  Maybe someone else can help a little more
[06:01] <SirVirtue> thales: there is an alpha though
[06:01] <SirVirtue> thales: gimmie a sec
[06:01] <genii> Jon-4: Apologies, helping my roomate get his webcam going under Kubuntu. The idea of using ddrescue is to make a frozen image of the disk, errors and all, into a file which you can mount into a directory, then pluck the important things which remain from there to somewhere you want to save them. So to loop-mount you use the same idea as loopmounting an iso file
[06:01] <SirVirtue> thales: I'll find a url
[06:02] <thales> Alpha works for me,
[06:02] <guest1> Out of curiosity, anyone here using their iphone in linux?
[06:02] <Jon-4> genii: This is done. Is there a way to recover the fragmented files now?
[06:02] <genii> Jon-4: eg: sudo mount -t vfat /ddrescueimagefile /some/directory
[06:02] <Ritlee> today, if you dont
[06:02] <Ritlee> today if you don't have samba installed yet ummm let me figure that one out...
[06:02] <Logikos> so useing Gparted isnt a good solution
[06:02] <{CR}ronos> soreau will i uninstall these?
[06:03] <today> i installed samban Ritlee
[06:03] <Netwizz> I installed Ubuntu tonight
[06:03] <ZykoticK9> thales, get the Alpha daily from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/
[06:03] <genii> Jon-4: You can theoretically run fsck.vfat on the mounted directory
[06:03] <Netwizz> It was pretty easy to install; I mus tsay
[06:03] <Netwizz> When does the new RTM get released?
[06:03] <genii> Jon-4: If it works you can then use it on the original
[06:03] <thales> awesome, thank you very much. :-)
[06:03] <today> but i cant share my data for my friend ( use XP)
[06:03] <guest1> Netwizz: Now try to install Gentoo :)
[06:03] <Ritlee> today, okay then it should be ready to go, no config needed
[06:03] <Jon-4> genii: What options should I be looking for?
[06:03] <Netwizz> I bet that is a lot more work
[06:03] <SirVirtue> ZykoticK9: cheers
[06:03] <guest1> You have no idea
[06:03] <today> i dont thing so Ritlee
[06:04] <Netwizz> I have not even figured out getting everything working on Ubuntu again.  It has been almost 2 years since I last ran it, so it will take some time to get it working perfect, but I think it should be easier this time.
[06:04] <today> because, i try to share folder, but not done
[06:04] <Jon-4> genii: Oh, and the data is far more important frankly. I can always reformat the drive.
[06:04] <Ritlee> today, i could be wrong but i don't remember doing a config for it, it worked as is
[06:04] <soreau> {CR}ronos: You need to remove the nvidia glx driver packages. It should be ok to leave the alias packages installed
[06:04] <genii> Jon-4: Generally if you use "-f" on fsck it tries to auto-fix erors
[06:04] <today> it so ok Ritlee :)
[06:04] <guest1> Netwizz: It is.  I am in the same boat.  I went back to Linux after a 4 year absence but I only use Windows to print and for iTunes
[06:04] <SirVirtue> Ritlee: did you get a chance to suss out my error?
[06:05] <today> what version linux you use Ritlee?
[06:05] <genii> Jon-4: When it finds unlinked files, etc it will usually put them in a dir called lost+found
[06:05] <Ritlee> SirVirtue, piss what was it again?
[06:05] <Ritlee> today, ubuntu 8.04
[06:05] <Jon-4> genii: Says "is a directory" when I attempt to run it on /media/temp [where I mounted the image file with loop-back]
[06:05] <smartfisher> hello
[06:05] <Tecan> is the server down for karmic debs ?
[06:05] <SirVirtue> Ritlee: http://pastebin.com/hg94PMDA
[06:05] <soreau> {CR}ronos: After this, you need to remove or rename your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
[06:06] <genii> Jon-4: OK, hangon
[06:06] <SirVirtue> Ritlee: do you want a pm so it's easier to keep track?
[06:06] <SirVirtue> Ritlee: (you seem to be getting hounded :P)
[06:06] <today> how about 's Login Screen on Karmic Ritlee?
[06:06] <Ritlee> SirVirtue, i
[06:07] <Ritlee> SirVirtue, i'm good so your trying to install rhythm box?
[06:07] <today> how is login screen change? Ritlee
[06:07] <SirVirtue> Ritlee: well not really, it just pops up every time I try to do something with apt
[06:07] <SirVirtue> also totem
[06:07] <Ritlee> today, dunno i've only spent any surmountable time with 8.04
[06:07] <Ritlee> SirVirtue, OH
[06:08] <today> ;-)you wait 10.4 release Ritlee
[06:08] <Ritlee> SirVirtue, that's beyond me then sounds like apt is bugged
[06:08] <Netwizz> Yeah it is going to be tough to relearn linux
[06:08] <SirVirtue> :(
[06:08] <Ritlee> today, lol hopefully better lookin than 9.'04
[06:09] <genii> Jon-4: the fsck.vfat manpage doesn't have some force or override option for loopmount, unfortunately.It wants to work only on partitions, etc. So try to recover from the mounted image what you can, then run the fsck.vfat with -y option on the affected drive and check the lost+found directory there after for recovered files
[06:09] <Ritlee> ahwell i
[06:09] <Ritlee> ahwell i'm out, thanx all
[06:09] <shazbotmcnasty> what do I do if I think someone is going to try and hack me?
[06:09] <SirVirtue> Ritlee: oh well, thanks for you time
[06:09] <shazbotmcnasty> like.....
[06:09] <shazbotmcnasty> now
[06:09] <today> Bye Ritlee
[06:09] <guest1> Netwizz: Its not that bad with Ubuntu.  I have had a hard time with some things, but this chat and all the forums are amazing!
[06:09] <SirVirtue> *your
[06:09] <hackoo1> hello
[06:10] <Jon-4> genii: Unfortunately because I had created the backup, I have done a few things to my original USB drive. Is there a way to restore it or emulate a mount as a physical device for fsck.vfat?
[06:10] <Netwizz> Yeah
[06:10] <Netwizz> I used to run Ubuntu exclusively in 2006, 7, and part of 8
[06:10] <genii> Jon-4: No method that I know of
[06:10] <Netwizz> I ran Dapper Drake through 8.04
[06:10] <Netwizz> Or actually 7.10
[06:11] <guest1> Netwizz: Why did you leave?
[06:11] <genii> Jon-4: You can use the ddrescue image however to write it exactly back to a usb stick using dd
[06:11] <SirVirtue> anyone else here an ap
[06:11] <SirVirtue> anyone else here an apt-get wizz?
[06:11] <Netwizz> The Video driver broke for Nvidia GLX
[06:11] <mrpink57> guest1: same reason we all do further customization
[06:12] <genii> Jon-4: eg: sudo dd if=/the/ddrescue-imagename of=/dev/sdX#
[06:12] <Netwizz> Each time I rebooted, I had to re-install the video driver, and it stunk?
[06:12] <genii> Jon-4: Then run fsck.vfat on that
[06:12] <shazbotmcnasty> what do I do if I think someone is going to try and hack me?????
[06:12] <genii> shazbotmcnasty: Unplug the ethernet cable
[06:12] <guest1> Netwizz: Tell me about it.    I have ATI and I swear I will never support them again
[06:13] <guest1> Netwizz: How is the driver issue now?
[06:13] <alankila> Netwizz: sounds more like ubuntu bug than nvidia bug, though. The driver worked but it screwed up something.
[06:13] <today> my Ubuntu run Gnome 2.28, how do we upgrade Gnome man
[06:13] <Netwizz> I have no driver issue
[06:13] <Netwizz> I did a clean install of 9.04 64 bit
[06:13] <Netwizz> I was running 7.10 32 bit
[06:14] <Netwizz> No problems yet anyway
[06:14] <bowserinmario3> im having troubling enabling my wifi usb adapter (050d:935b) any help?
[06:14] <guest1> Do you use the open source driver?
[06:14] <Netwizz> The problem is that it will probably take forever to get everythign up and runnign again
[06:14] <Jon-4>  genii of=sdx#  realy? never seen sdx before only sdc and sda
[06:14] <Netwizz> @bowserinmario3 you need the ndiswrapper unless that changed in the last couple years
[06:14] <alankila> Jon-4: x means "fill in what suits for you"
[06:15] <bowserinmario3> on the ndiswrapper website they don't mention support for my usb
[06:15] <genii> Jon-4: "sdX#" means substitute for "X" the letter of your real drive and for "#" put the partition number: eg: sda3   or so
[06:15] <Netwizz> You really just have to try it
[06:15] <Netwizz> I was able to make it work with my old Netgear WG111 or something like that
[06:16] <bowserinmario3> yea ill give it a shot
[06:16] <bowserinmario3> thanks
[06:16] <genii> Jon-4: But use some USB stick name and not sda3 as i just wrote
[06:16] <Netwizz> There must be some switches
[06:16] <Netwizz> I think you did something like ndiswrapper -i /path/to/driver.inf
[06:16] <Netwizz> regardless man ndiswrapper
[06:17] <Netwizz> or ndiswrapper -?
[06:17] <genii> Jon-4: I must leave for sleep soon, it's 1:17AM here
[06:17] <Jon-4> genii: OH NO I USED SDA3  *computer dies*   haha, don't worry :D
[06:17] <Jon-4> genii: What would you recommend after fsck.vfat? -y on drive? Any options left?
[06:18] <Jon-4> ignore ?, typo
[06:18] <SirVirtue> one last try, anyone here an apt-get wizz?
[06:19] <genii> Jon-4: Check in the directory on the drive called lost+found. If any unattached files were found it will file them in there. No names though just sequential numbered files so tedious to wade through
[06:19] <Netwizz> I have never seen anything in there
[06:19] <Netwizz> what does NTFS have for Lost and Found?
[06:19] <genii> Jon-4: (but at least hopefully somewhat intact)
[06:19] <Netwizz> Where do those files go?  chkdsk?
[06:19] <genii> Netwizz: this isn't a Windows support channel
[06:20] <devD> My karmic have a serious problem, my keyboard freezes sometimes and I need to restart system , this time its freezed and not unfreezing even after reboot. what to do now ?
[06:20] <theadmin> devD: And how on earth do you type? :/ This sounds like a problem of IBus if you're using it
[06:20] <today> i have trouble some thing like devD
[06:21] <today> i dont use ctri - keyboard
[06:21] <evan0116> so Karmic never wakes up when idle and i move the mouse
[06:21] <evan0116> how can i fix that?
[06:21] <today> when i run VLC and turn on Playlis ( Ctrl + L) it not work
[06:21] <today> help me now
[06:21] <FireCrotch> SirVirtue: What is your apt-get question/problem?
[06:22] <theadmin> today: Check whether the layout is set correctly
[06:22] <today> how theadmin
[06:22] <{CR}ronos> anyone else get really slow transfer speeds to a usb device in 9.10?
[06:22] <SirVirtue> FireCrotch: http://pastebin.com/hg94PMDA does that make any sense to you?
[06:22] <theadmin> today: System  - Preferences - Keyboard - Layouts

[06:23] <evan0116> Why does ubuntu 9.10 never wake up after monitor is set to black? and how can i fix this?
[06:24] <theadmin> DcMesse: killall processname to just kill. You can install "htop" to view all processes.
[06:24] <theadmin> evan0116: Seems like something with motherboard or it's drivers

[06:31] <dehqan> how to fix this ? http://pastebin.com/zHjaQWzT ?  libgd2-noxpm and  libg2 also are removed
[06:31] <theadmin> Archy1987: Stop repeating quickly, it won't make anyone help you more or less
[06:31] <Netwizz> Where I work, I have to deploy a Server 2003 Domain controller tomorrow; I am not happy
[06:32] <alankila> Archy1987: a global equalizer, like for sound? I'd imagine that falls in pulseaudio's turf, but I have never seen any kind of DSP systems for it, oddly enough.
[06:32] <Archy1987> theadmin, what is minimum time to repeat?
[06:32] <Cedna> try apt-get install -f
[06:32] <theadmin> Archy1987: It's not stated, but not like every minute %) Maybe in ten minutes or so...
[06:32] <Flannel> Archy1987: 20 or so minutes is a good starting point.  Take the time in between to checkthe internet/forums/etc
[06:32] <Archy1987> theadmin, ok, thanks for info. Sorry for my incompetence
[06:32] <DcMeese> Otherwise peoples Getz mad
[06:32] <Cedna> does packages looks like depended some packages...

[06:33] <claws_> GUYS!!  the system has sound.. but when playing through youtube... sound doesn't work.. any help will be much appreciated...
[06:33] <Archy1987> alankila, yes, global equalizer - not equalizer foru separate program
[06:33] <theadmin> claws_: Sounds like some flash player bug to me
[06:33] <alankila> pulseaudio is strangely half-baked. It doesn't seem to have any DSP programs, and no GUIs to tune them. :-/
[06:34] <Cedna> ...or also you can try does package manually..
[06:34] <alankila> At least nothing I saw with "apt-cache search pulseaudio" discovered anything that looked like DSP To me

[06:34] <Archy1987> ok, i will try pulseaudio

[06:36] <Moat> hi my icons and coloured backrounds are now showing up properly as according to my theme i have set
[06:36] <Moat> what do i do?
[06:36] <theadmin> Moat: What's the problem with that?
[06:36] <ubuntufreak> How can i remove the Google Chrome which i installed using the .deb file in my ubuntu 9.10 ?
[06:36] <Bash23> Anyone?

[06:37] <claws_> so what do i do ?
[06:37] <Moat> theadmin they are not showing up accorind to my theme
[06:37] <Bash23> It's loading the background but the login window isn't showing up

[06:38] <alankila> Archy1987: I found a hack based on ladspa and telling pulseaudio to route its sound output through user's .asoundrc
[06:38] <Archy1987> alankila, how to access pulseaudio output settings?
[06:38] <dyess002> soreau:  are u still in here
[06:38] <ubuntufreak> theadmin: i mean the synaptic to remove the chrom package
[06:38] <soreau> dyess002: Sure, why?
[06:38] <theadmin> ubuntufreak: Ah, okay
[06:38] <alankila> Archy1987: maybe there's a better part than this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578 (see Appendix D), maybe not
[06:39] <alankila> a better way, not part.
[06:39] <dyess002> i finally got it fixed the matchbox deal
[06:39] <claws_> GUYS! how can i list running programs and kill them ? ex. firefox freez, so im not allowed to open
[06:39] <dyess002> thanks for the help
[06:39] <von_neumann> ubuntufreak: Run this, dpkg -l | grep -i google-chrome
[06:39] <Archy1987> alankila, ok, i will check it. Thanks
[06:39] <Cedna> ..
[06:39] <theadmin> claws_: try "killall firefox"
[06:39] <soreau> dyess002: What did you have to do?
[06:39] <von_neumann> ubuntufreak, then dpkg -r the exact name of the package
[06:39] <ubuntufreak> theadmin: its coz i had installed chrome and today i installed Chromium so thought of removing Chrome
[06:39] <Bash23> I need help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[06:40] <Cedna> claws_, open terminal, and type ps -ef | grep process name..
[06:40] <Bash23> Does anyone know how I can fix GDM?

[06:40] <von_neumann> sudo dpkg -r google-chrome-beta
[06:40] <von_neumann> for me anyway
[06:40] <von_neumann> doh, sorry
[06:40] <alankila> Archy1987: now that I am reading through the link, there's a suggestion for karmic, a PPA with package called pulseaudio-equalizer
[06:41] <Cedna> than, it seems like PID(number) ... process pipe name
[06:41] <genii> Bash23: sudo apt-get install --reinstall gdm
[06:41] <soreau> dyess002: Cool. Glad you got it working
[06:41] <dyess002> me to  it was looking like a reinstall
[06:41] <Bash23> I tried sudo aptitude reinstall gdm
[06:42] <Bash23> it didn't work.
[06:42] <alankila> Archy1987: it looks pretty nify from description. Hopefully it does the trick for you.
[06:42] <Cedna> if you followed this steps, now you can kill pid numbers. more informations, try man kill
[06:42] <claws_> theadmin: thank you :) it worked
[06:42] <theadmin> Cedna: Wouldn't it be a lot simplier to stick to killall when you don't know the exact PID?
[06:42] <Cedna> ...
[06:42] <Cedna> hmm..
[06:42] <Shay27> Hello , does someone here specialize in hardware ? I'm going today to buy a new computer, but there is little problem, I'm not hardware wizard :) I have the ability to choose between two types of motherboards : Intel Skyberg DP45SG and Asus p5q pro , can someone recommend me which one is the best ? and which motherboard will support Ubuntu without problems
[06:43] <claws_> but is there possible to list all running apps
[06:43] <tehbaut> anyone know if 9.10 live cd supports gparted and formatting partitions as hfs+ out of the box?
[06:43] <Cedna> yes. killall commands pretty simple.
[06:43] <Netwizz> yes
[06:43] <Netwizz> You can use the top command
[06:43] <Netwizz> or ps
[06:43] <Cedna> but i think that was too simple for me..
[06:43] <coz_> or install htop
[06:43] <coz_> much nicer ^^
[06:43] <Netwizz> htop?
[06:43] <Bash23> Does anyone have any other tips?
[06:43] <claws_> so i do a..  ps list ?
[06:44] <Netwizz> The command is ps
[06:44] <coz_> netmind,  yeah sudo apt-get install htop  and the command is   htop
[06:44] <Netwizz> Great, but what is it
[06:44] <genii> Bash23: What were you using to try and customize your GDM?
[06:44] <Netwizz> I will just look it up hell
[06:44] <theadmin> Netwizz: A process manager
[06:44] <Bash23> Nothin.g
[06:44] <Cedna> otherwise, you can also try like that - ps -ef | grep name | awk '{print $1}' | xargs kill -9 :)
[06:44] <Bash23> There is no custon.conf.
[06:44] <coz_> systemn monitor of sorts I guess you can call it
[06:44] <Netwizz> It does not look very good
[06:44] <Bash23> That's the prob
[06:44] <Netwizz> Isn't the built in one better?
[06:44] <Bash23> custom*
[06:45] <coz_> Netwizz,  system monitor of sorts  with many options
[06:45] <genii> Hm
[06:45] <theadmin> I dunno.... I assigned "xterm htop" to Ctrl+Shift+Esc lol and it works fine, system monitor is a bit too greedy
[06:46] <Cedna> yes. system monitor too greedy
[06:48] <theadmin> Hrm.
[06:48] <coz_> Netwizz,  did you check out htop?
[06:48] <theadmin> Why when i want to check updates manually i need a password while when it's automatic, it's asking nothing?
[06:49] <coz_> theadmin,  it should unless you recently used the terminal with a password and it didnt time out
[06:49] <Netwizz> yeah
[06:49] <Netwizz> I checked it out
[06:49] <theadmin> coz_: I see, yeah, that was true
[06:49] <Netwizz> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sioabbA4Mw&feature=channel
[06:49] <Netwizz> That video rocks
[06:49] <Netwizz> In traffic court, you have to pay the plantiff to show up!!!
[06:49] <Cedna> ...
[06:50] <momosan> what's the ubuntu equivalent of the unstable/testing branch in debian that I can put in my sources.list?
[06:50] <Cedna> because... that was configured in polkit settings, i think.
[06:50] <blakkheim> momosan: there is none
[06:50] <Cedna> ..
[06:50] <coz_> momosan,  well  actually none  unless you want to try the alpha
[06:50] <claws_> how can i get more info on the PID's?
[06:51] <momosan> kk
[06:51] <Netwizz> with switches
[06:51] <coz_> momosan, but then it would be an install of that alpha
[06:51] <rww> ubottu: ot | Netwizz
[06:51] <coz_> momosan,  which means what you have would either be upgraded or you would have to clean install the alpha  ubuntu lucid 10.4
[06:51] <theadmin> momosan: We have free-supported: main, non-free-supported: restricted, free-unsupported: universe, non-free-unsupported: multiverse. And we have backports.
[06:51] <coz_> momosan,  I think it is still in alpha let me check
[06:52] <coz_> momosan,    https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule
[06:52] <momosan> okay thanks all
[06:53] <Archy1987> alankila, i did Appendix D: System-Wide Equalizer
[06:53] <Archy1987> alankila, how to open equalizer graph now?
[06:53] <alankila> Archy1987: what did you do? Are you using karmic? Did you notice the ppa?
[06:54] <phani>  hi. I have hardy 8.04 version newly installed . When I do apt-get update or upgrade gets segmentation fault error ... So, I have deleted the bin files from /var/cache/apt but still it doesn't work any ideas ?
[06:54] <Archy1987> alankila, i use ubuntu (latest)
[06:54] <alankila> Archy1987: well, did you use the solution suggested at "Warning 1: karmic users please do this instead". My fault for not noticing it, but it was the first line and I merely scanned the document based on quick google query to see that someone had indeed done something like this
[06:55] <Hellhound666> wow vuze works just fine when I download it from the repositories.  seems java runtime isn't the only dependency requried for it to operate correctly.
[06:55] <alankila> Archy1987: the ppa contains a full GUI for a global equalizer, allegedly.
[06:55] <coz_> Hellhound666,  isnt that using alot of cpu for you?
[06:55] <Archy1987> alankila, what is "ppa" ?
[06:55] <Hellhound666> coz_: isn't what?
[06:56] <alankila> Archy1987: personal package archive.
[06:56] <coz_> Hellhound666,  vuze
[06:56] <Hellhound666> coz_:  not really
[06:56] <Archy1987> alankila, i am not shure that i understand what to do now
[06:56] <coz_> Hellhound666,  even when it was called azureus it use mucho cpu on my systems
[06:56] <alankila> Archy1987: I tried to tell you to use the karmic-specific solution some 15 minutes ago, but it was too late.
[06:57] <alankila> Archy1987: revert your changes, follow the karmic-specific instructions. You'll be a lot happier with that -- assuming it works at all...
[06:57] <Hellhound666> coz_:  It works fine on my old 800mhz 300mb ram crap computer.
[06:58] <coz_> Hellhound666,  wow mmm   I might try it again although I am using transmission for torrents
[06:58] <theadmin> Why are some "cups" always upgrading?
[06:58] <Archy1987> alankila, i just realized, that my laptop don't have sound at all now :D
[06:58] <coz_> Archy1987,  in terminal   alsamixer
[06:58] <Thunderguy> If I wanted to 'apt-move sync' all my packages to put on a cd, would it be that simple as it was on deb?
[06:58] <coz_> Archy1987,  anything turned down or muted?
[06:58] <blakkheim> theadmin: security patches
[06:59] <coz_> Archy1987,  pulseaudio sucks on karmic right now
[06:59] <theadmin> blakkheim: What IS "cups" anyway
[06:59] <Hellhound666> check out netbeans if you're into programming too.  It's excellent I think.
[06:59] <blakkheim> theadmin: common unix printing services
[06:59] <theadmin> Hellhound666: I agree on that
[06:59] <theadmin> blakkheim: ...I don't need that... lol
[06:59] <Cedna> apt-cache show cups
[06:59] <Archy1987> coz_, nope, nothing is muted
[06:59] <blakkheim> theadmin: then why do you have it?
[06:59] <alankila> Archy1987: yes, you are best off canceling all the modifications & using the karmic-specific solution. Or debugging what went wrong with your changes.
[06:59] <coz_> Archy1987,  mmm
[06:59] <blakkheim> theadmin: i use a minimal iso install and only install what i want. the default install is very bloated
[06:59] <theadmin> blakkheim: Maybe it came defaultly. I don't need empathy either, but i knew i don't need it at least
[06:59] <Hellhound666> I was using Dev C++ on windows 7.  Turns out the only way to get Bloodshed Dev C++ on Linux is ordering the cd.  Well I'm know there are other ways but it's the least I could do is buy it.
[07:00] <coz_> blakkheim,  mm I might try that next time  sounds like a good idea
[07:00] <alankila> I'm pretty optimistic that even that .asoundrc-based hack can be made to work if you try hard enough, despite it using plughw and not raw hardware access ...
[07:00] <Archy1987> coz_,  alankila  i will now revert changes and infor you what happens then
[07:00] <theadmin> blakkheim: Meh, default is a good enough for me
[07:00] <blakkheim> theadmin: ok, if you can deal with all the bloat and unneeded services and updates that you don't even know what they are
[07:01] <alankila> Archy1987: here's a sneak peek at what you should get with the package:
[07:01] <alankila> http://www.webupd8.org/2009/11/system-wide-pulseaudio-equalizer-for.htmlhttp://www.webupd8.org/2009/11/system-wide-pulseaudio-equalizer-for.html
[07:01] <theadmin> blakkheim: If UBUNTU is bloated... lol, better don't even touch Linux Mint
[07:02] <alankila> er... was that link really truncated?
[07:02] <Flannel> alankila: No
[07:02] <alankila> good

[07:05] <Archy1987> i reverted changes, and relogged - at last i have my sound back. I now will try to install that equalizer, that alankila gave me :P
[07:05] <Hellhound666> theadmin:  I haven't been programming for long but I'm catching on rather quickly.  I'm going to school for Network Admin but I wonder If I could take a coding course too?
[07:06] <AfterBlend4D> how to check the people in the channel join howmany channel.
[07:06] <mihir> hello friends
[07:06] <deanfx> mihir: what type of wireless controller do you have?
[07:06] <AfterBlend4D> Whols ?
[07:06] <alankila> Archy1987: yeah. I really wasn't aware that there had been any progress on this front. I've been expecting DSP software to arrive for pulseaudio, like headphone virtualization and stuff like that, and nobody seems to have been working on it
[07:06] <theadmin> Hellhound666: Don't give any such things :D Sorry...   I went to school years back for programming and all they had was microsoft Visual Basic!!
[07:07] <Archy1987> alankila, i followed that website's instructions, but terminal says me -

[07:07] <theadmin> tallyho: In Windows, you'll have to try something like "cd /d C:\", but we don't really provide Windows support
[07:07] <Moat> ccenda how do i do that?
[07:07] <alankila> Archy1987: well, did you install some .deb first?

[07:09] <genii> hidensoft: VLC can record the desktop also
[07:09] <ussaine> salut
[07:09] <adante> hi, is it safe to upgrade distributions without applying patches for existing distribution?
[07:09] <theadmin> genii: VLC sucks on that, it's too complicated to actually do it.
[07:09] <coz_> ussaine,  salut  bonjour ca va?
[07:09] <theadmin> adante: Not recommended
[07:09] <theadmin> !fr | coz_

[07:11] <mihir> how to find wireless network in range
[07:11] <psycho_oreos> mihir, use network manager
[07:11] <mihir> please help me
[07:12] <adarsha> mihir: do u have a wifi card?
[07:12] <genii> hidensoft: You need "universe" repository enabled
[07:12] <Archy1987> alankila, everything works just fine :)
[07:12] <mihir> yes i have wifi card and i am using wifi in xp
[07:12] <Archy1987> alankila, thank you a lot. have a nice day, good luck
[07:12] <hidensoft> genii, how ? im new in ubuntu
[07:12] <genii> !repos | hidensoft
[07:13] <adarsha> mihir: then, ubuntu should automatically detect wireless networks. check ur panel, there should be a network icon.
[07:13] <alankila> Archy1987: great!
[07:13] <psycho_oreos> !networkmanager | mihir
[07:14] <ghostnik11> hi i have a problem in ubuntu 9.10 with the file system, for some reason when it tries to load it says /dev/desk/ by-uuid/ ... is missing and does not exist. which is impossible b/c last night my ubuntu was working pefectly fine till i turned it off
[07:14] <ghostnik11> does anyone know how to fix this problem
[07:14] <adarsha> mihir: if u don't find it, open a terminal and type networkmanager. i think it should open networkmanager.
[07:15] <Archy1987> if linux could run same apps as windows can, i would never use windows OS
[07:16] <Archy1987> someone thinks like me ?
[07:16] <mihir> i am using ubuntu 9.10
[07:16] <psycho_oreos> Archy1987, there's a fair amount of differences between the two, for most parts wine should work, but then there's crossover/cedega as well as vm
[07:17] <psycho_oreos> mihir, did you read the link on network manager?
[07:17] <_KAMI_1> hi
[07:17] <_KAMI_1> I need some help
[07:17] <_KAMI_1> regarding U10.04
[07:17] <_KAMI_1> and radon driver
[07:17] <theadmin> _KAMI_1: Just ask your question...
[07:17] <Flannel> _KAMI_1: #ubuntu+1 for Lucid support, thanks
[07:17] <psycho_oreos> !lucid | _KAMI_1
[07:17] <genii> Archy1987: If you're just looking for something to replace windows and run windows applications underneath you don't really need linux, maybe check out ReactOS instead
[07:18] <theadmin> Archy1987: Can't it do so already?
[07:18] <theadmin> Archy1987: I mean, we DO have WINE
[07:18] <Archy1987> i have wine too
[07:18] <_KAMI_1> okay sorry
[07:18] <Archy1987> but i was impossible to run any of win-based apps
[07:18] <_KAMI_1> Then I go to there
[07:19] <theadmin> Archy1987: Hm, it indeed is not very good, but... well, i keep a dualboot
[07:19] <psycho_oreos> its not impossible, it just requires work to get it working
[07:19] <mihir> yes i have read but it says it is for older version i am using ubuntu 9.10 karmic kaola
[07:19] <adarsha> theadmin: but wine doesn't work for many windows applications.
[07:19] <ghostnik11> has anyone ever had a problem with 9.10 and the file system not being found
[07:19] <Archy1987> theadmin, me too :P i have dual ubuntu - xp boot
[07:20] <Archy1987> theadmin, because i am a civil engineer, and i need AutoCad - program, that cannot be run on linux
[07:20] <theadmin> Archy1987: Ahaha, EXACTLY same here. Ubuntu 9.10, Windows XP SP3 RU
[07:20] <whorush> hi, i'm making figures for my thesis in geometry.  my figures are polygons.  so i'm using inkscape, and it ALMOST works perfect, but some things are really tricky, and they ignore me on the irc :-).  maybe i should use the gimp?  but the gimp is complicated!  anything else?  thanks!
[07:20] <Archy1987> theadmin, hahaha, exactly same! ubuntu 9.10 + xp sp3 ru
[07:20] <psycho_oreos> mihir, its almost the same, there should be network manager icon on your desktop, more specifically a task bar
[07:20] <Flannel> whorush: Join #ubuntu-offtopic and explain what's tricky
[07:20] <Peddy> who else isn't liking the 10.04 concept art?
[07:20] <Flannel> Peddy: #ubuntu+1 for Lucid, thanks
[07:20] <claws_> dont i need a sort of ccleaner when i remove a software ?
[07:20] <eeexception> Hi. Has anyone tested ubuntu 10.04 alpha? Is there still a problem with usb flash drivers? At this morning I was trying to connect to my laptop with ubuntu 10.04 Sony Reader prs-300, but was nothing. lsusb also was empty
[07:20] <Peddy> kthx Flannel
[07:21] <theadmin> eeexception: #ubuntu+1
[07:21] <rww> ubottu: lucid | eeexception
[07:21] <Peddy> 1/join #ubuntu+1
[07:21] <kinja-sheep> claws_: Registry cleaners in Windows does not really make things go faster. :)
[07:21] <mihir> yes it is there and right now i am using internet through lan
[07:21] <whorush> Flannel, thanks
[07:21] <mihir> but there is no wireless network in range there
[07:21] <psycho_oreos> mihir, so right click on it and click on enable wireless
[07:22] <claws_> kinja-sheep: i was more or less thinking of config files that i have to remove manualy
[07:22] <theadmin> claws_: We don't have a registry or that kinda crap on Ubuntu, when you remove, it's removed, and so there.
[07:22] <mihir> it is enabled
[07:23] <theadmin> Bleh. Why when i try to set the homepage in Firefox to <IP_ADDRESS>, it freezes? Only on Ubuntu, works fine on other Linux's and Windows
[07:23] <psycho_oreos> mihir, and so when you left click on the network manager icon, you don't see any networks with bars?
[07:23] <mihir> no
[07:23] <kinja-sheep> claws_: You could "sudo aptitude purge <xyz>" that will remove the package's config files. As for personal yet package-related config files, it is usually untouched in ~/ (Only because that's personal config files)..
[07:23] <psycho_oreos> mihir, open up terminal, type in "lspci -nnk" *without quotes* and pastebin the output
[07:24] <kinja-sheep> theadmin: Try localhost? :0
[07:24] <mihir> how to open terminal
[07:24] <theadmin> kinja-sheep: Hm, weird.
[07:24] <kinja-sheep> mihir: In Applications --> Accessories.
[07:24] <theadmin> kinja-sheep: But it worked
[07:24] <alankila> Archy1987: sadly, I don't believe Linux will ever get the hordes of popular software, unless it changes its culture in some obvious way. Linux is associated with highly idealistic people who hate proprietary software past all point of reason in my opinion. There is no sympathy for the realities of commercial software making & distribution.
[07:24] <adarsha> theadmin: my firefox doesn't freeze, just says can't connect to <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:24] <kinja-sheep> theadmin: Weird, indeed.
[07:25] <theadmin> adarsha: Hm. Running no server i belive? :D
[07:25] <alankila> Archy1987: consequently, there will never be such software and the best we can hope is to clone Windows and OS X APIs so that we can run the software meant for those platforms.
[07:25] <adarsha> nope! i'm using a laptop. :)
[07:25] <theadmin> adarsha: Server as in Apache
[07:25] <psycho_oreos> !terminal | mihir
[07:25] <adarsha> theadmin: oh! no..
[07:26] <mihir> all the hardware connected are listed
[07:26] <ghostnik11> can someone help me get my ubuntu 9.10 to load, it won't load please
[07:26] <chd> I'm having trouble configuring my dual display. I'm on ubuntu 9.10 and when I run my display preferences and try to enable my second display I get this: The current settings cannot be completely applied due to one or more of the following reasons: and it gives 5 bullets. I had it working fine just a day ago and then bam, its fucked up.
[07:26] <psycho_oreos> mihir, correct, now copy and paste the contents of that output into pastebin (a website) then paste the link to it here

[07:46] <solid_liquid> tehbaut, it's in the manpage for mount, so I'd say it does
[07:46] <Andorin> Guys, Ubuntu has suddenly stopped being able to mount my portable HD, and I REALLY need access to it!
[07:46] <theadmin> hidensoft: You probably have no permission to write to where you're trying to.

[07:47] <ranjan> it is an wired network .. by the means of lan
[07:47] <soreau> Andorin: Do dmesg and lsusb show it after you plug it in?
[07:47] <ikonia> ranjan: ok - so look at your default gateway address, what is that address
[07:47] <Andorin> soreau: lsusb does, I already checked that.
[07:48] <Kutakizukari> Installed Ubuntu 9.10 on a Dell Latitude D600, cannot get connected to the interent wirelessly. I tried sudo lshw -C network and it is disabled. Does anyone know how to enable it or something else I should try?
[07:48] <racerd> you guys like pidgin?
[07:48] <psycho_oreos> Kutakizukari, pastebin your lspci -nnk output
[07:48] <soreau> Andorin: Can you mount the device from the node it is assigned? (reported by dmesg)
