[21:38] <chvnx> Flimm, what kind of game?  Are you into old RPG games, such as Chrono Trigger or Zelda?  In Ubuntu, go to Add/Remove apps and install ZSNES and then google yourself some roms.  Get Chrono Trigger, it's elite.
[21:38] <Dusk_> i've upgraded to 8.10 from 8.04 and it works perfectly. but i have only one problem. when i'm using ubuntu with battery it shows remaining time and battery status for 15-20 minutes but then it shows like as if it's plugged in AC..so i can't learn my remaining time and battery status. what's this is about??
[21:38] <ActionParsnip> VanHelsinki: no idea. I dont see how a name of an app is related to sexuality
[21:39] <sergiu> hi, anyone know an replace to gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad? Becuse they are really bad
[21:39] <PeskyJ> is it a bad idea to map my actual windows drive to C: in wine? will wine start messing with the actual windows registry and things?
[21:39] <ActionParsnip> VanHelsinki: The popular, multi-protocol instant messaging client Gaim has, due to legal pressure from AOL regarding the trademarked name AIM, changed its name to Pidgin. This marks the second time the developers have changed the project name to appease AOL.
[21:39] <VanHelsinki> ActionParsnip: you assume then that sexuality has anything to do with caring ?
[21:39] <jrib> VanHelsinki: please drop the conversation
[21:39] <ActionParsnip> VanHelsinki: caring?
[21:39] <Flimm> chvnx: OK
[21:39] <VanHelsinki> ActionParsnip: I know that
[21:39] <j2daosh> ok, i remember the question now :)... when i apt-get install something that is a kde version, but i have booted into the gnome session instead, why don't i see it in my menus?
[21:39] <chvnx> I need some help.  I need to format a Win98 PC and install Ubuntu, but I don't have a floppy disk, nor a CD-R, to work with.  How do I format Win98 and install Ubuntu from within Windows98?  Link me to a tutorial, please.
[21:39] <VanHelsinki> ActionParsnip: "To care".. etcd
[21:39] <j2daosh> is it me, or do some things just not install to the menu through apt get
[21:40] <j2daosh> IE - compiz
[21:40] <ActionParsnip> VanHelsinki: im lost
[21:40] <Flimm> chvnx: that's not strictly legal though, is it?
[21:40] <faria> Hi 2 all

[21:40] <faria> i have Q
[21:40] <j2daosh> luvcview
[21:40] <Polarina> ActionParsnip: None of that helped.
[21:40] <jrib> j2daosh: compiz is a window manager.  irssi is run from a terminal.  no idea what luvcview is
[21:40] <VanHelsinki> ActionParsnip: Are you in battlemode atm ?
[21:40] <anon> not all apps available in apt-get is avain the Add/Remove. look to synaptic package man for detailed apps
[21:40] <ActionParsnip> chvnx: you dont, you boot to the linux cd and install the system. You can tell the installer to blank the drive off (destroys ALL data) and install itself
[21:40] <sergiu> hi, anyone know an replace to GStreamer plugins from the "bad" set? Becuse they are really bad

[21:41] <Dusk_> i've upgraded to 8.10 from 8.04 and it works perfectly. but i have only one problem. when i'm using ubuntu with battery it shows remaining time and battery status for 15-20 minutes but then it shows like as if it's plugged in AC..so i can't learn my remaining time and battery status. what's this is about??
[21:41] <ActionParsnip> VanHelsinki: no, I just hate the use of the word "gay" to mean bad. I find it immature and pathetic
[21:41] <j2daosh> ok, i got compiz, got the settings manager, but i dont have the manager in any of my menu's... where does it go?
[21:41] <anon> gerdiu: try either "aptitude reinstall", or do it gui-style from synaptic package man
[21:41] <VanHelsinki> ActionParsnip: Do you know another word that describes this phenomenon better ?
[21:42] <guntbert> !ot > VanHelsinki
[21:42] <ActionParsnip> VanHelsinki: what phenominom, I'll try to suggest
[21:42] <jrib> ActionParsnip: please don't encourage him
[21:42] <Acedip> jrib: thanks dude. it worked.but why did we write, i mean when we type "which rhythmbox", we get /usr/bin/rhythmbox.
[21:42] <LukeJM> Has anyone else been having range issues with Intrepid and the 8187b chipset?
[21:42] <guntbert> j2daosh: I find it in System/preferences
[21:42] <ActionParsnip> jrib: just educating. I hate the "gay" slandering. it really riles me
[21:42] <jrib> ActionParsnip: as well as me, but this isn't the right place
[21:43] <Dusk_> i've upgraded to 8.10 from 8.04 and it works perfectly. but i have only one problem. when i'm using ubuntu with battery it shows remaining time and battery status for 15-20 minutes but then it shows like as if it's plugged in AC..so i can't learn my remaining time and battery status. what's this is about??
[21:43] <j2daosh> hmm... i didn't see it in there... ill reinstall it
[21:43] <Flannel> ActionParsnip: Indeed, and the use of that term pejoratively isn't allowed in this channel.
[21:43] <j2daosh> how do you uninstall something through apt?
[21:43] <j2daosh> apt-get uninstall packagename?
[21:43] <Flannel> j2daosh: sudo apt-get remove package
[21:43] <j2daosh> remove
[21:43] <j2daosh> gotcha, ty
[21:43] <ActionParsnip> j2daosh: sudo apt-get --purge remove <app name>
[21:43] <Guest61600> hallo
[21:43] <anon> apt-get & aptitude are at times synonymous
[21:43] <ActionParsnip> j2daosh: --purge removes all configs (not in ~/) for the app as well
[21:44] <Flannel> j2daosh: You also may be interested in purge, which removes config files too.  See man apt-get
[21:44] <anon> aptitude remove/reinstall package
[21:44] <ActionParsnip> j2daosh: if you wanna remove orphaned deps, run sudo apt-get autoremove
[21:44] <Guest61600> i have a problem
[21:44] <PeskyJ> I'm just wondering if I should set up multiple users, or have ubuntu auto-login as Guest or something like that so that my family can use it and I only have to set it all up to be easy/friendly once... is there and guidance on this?
[21:44] <Guest61600> my wireless i s een but doesn't pick up
[21:45] <PeskyJ> *any
[21:45] <LukeJM> I'm having trouble finding anything on this problem in the forums, I'm running intrepid on with the 8187b wireless and it works great, but my range has been significantly reduced... is there a forum post on this somewhere that I am missing?
[21:45] <Dusk_> i've upgraded to 8.10 from 8.04 and it works perfectly. but i have only one problem. when i'm using ubuntu with battery it shows remaining time and battery status for 15-20 minutes but then it shows like as if it's plugged in AC..so i can't learn my remaining time and battery status. what's this is about??
[21:45] <ActionParsnip> Guest61600: does it show up in ifconfig
[21:45] <anon> pesky: u can (should) create logins 4 each & arrign to groups according to access/damage rights
[21:45] <anon> 8.10 now has "guest" mode
[21:45] <Guest61600> just a second
[21:46] <Guest61600> no
[21:46] <ActionParsnip> Guest61600: ok run lspci
[21:46] <PeskyJ> anon: yeah, I should.. but then I'll have to spend ages messing with the panels and adding icons and launchers for things like photoshop etc. - I'm just wondering if there's an easier way
[21:46] <anon> dusk: check out battery status under the appropriate /proc
[21:46] <ActionParsnip> Guest61600: 1 line will be your device, give us that single line
[21:46] <czajkowski> actually I upgraded to 8.10 and I've discovered on opening up thunderbird emails and on firefox the images appear all static like with lines  all criss crossed but go away once it's fully open. very weird, as this didn't happen in 8.04
[21:46] <Dusk_> anon, how?

[21:52] <K_Dallas> Hi guys! Q: What is the purpose of having acpid & apmd running at the same time? Would it be possible to use just one? The same question for atd and anacron. Thank you
[21:52] <Snoopy_> as for acpid and apmd
[21:52] <vesuva> Is there any way to clean up Ubuntu after an installation, there are a few programs I want to remove that are not being displayed in Add/Remove.
[21:52] <ActionParsnip> K_Dallas: try turning them off, have a play, see what it does
[21:52] <anon> guys. ALOT of this stuff is covered WELL under ubuntuforums. anyone actually bother to google there first b4 posting?
[21:52] <Snoopy_> acpi is the successor to apm
[21:53] <gavagai> I have my volume cranked up all the way, but it isn't half as loud as it is in other OSes.  How can I get more volume?
[21:53] <ActionParsnip> anon: I ask myself that loads :(
[21:53] <LukeJM> anon: I've hunted around for a few days, just wondered if I was missing something...
[21:53] <jesswen> exit
[21:53] <anon> just asking, as it's quicker to get stuff covered via UF than we can type here
[21:53] <vesuva> gavagai: that's a good question, I am having the same problem
[21:53] <Snoopy_> /quit
[21:53] <st3vie> K_Dallas, different applications might make use of one or the other. Same goes for atd and anacron I guess
[21:53] <gavagai> vesuva, yeah i was thrilled that sound worked on first boot but now i see how quiet it is
[21:53] <K_Dallas> Snoopy_, I see. So maybe I try what ActionParsnip suggested and see if it cripples the system or not
[21:53] <ActionParsnip> anon: all i do is websearch to fin answers
[21:54] <LukeJM> I managed to get the wireless working under 8.04, no range issues, worked great, but with the new kernel on 8.10 the card works natively, but the range is reduced quite a bit
[21:54] <K_Dallas> st3vie, I see.
[21:54] <Snoopy_> worth a try
[21:54] <anon> gavagai: get extended volume controls & check if master & wave is high
[21:54] <gavagai> anon, thanks
[21:54] <ActionParsnip> K_Dallas: yu can always boot to live cd to fix what yuo have dnoe
[21:54] <vesuva> gavagai: agreed, I had to try real had with FreeBSD to get mine working and then I couldn't in the end
[21:54] <K_Dallas> Snoopy_, well, why not :) Thank you all
[21:54] <K_Dallas> ActionParsnip, true
[21:54] <j2daosh> why does ubuntu think i have a dual core processor, even though i only have the single core atom processor?
[21:54] <vesuva> anon: Thanks for the tip!
[21:54] <DamienGray> How would I format /media/_boot easily without needing to burn a CD or anything
[21:55] <sledge> is there  a different way to get out of an application, other than Alt + Tab
[21:55] <sledge> the program will not allow me to get out ofit
[21:55] <anon> alt+f4
[21:55] <anon> of use killall
[21:55] <gavimobile> folks i just installed fedora and its much slower than ubuntu... why?
[21:55] <sledge> i don't want to close it tho
[21:55] <K_Dallas> Q2: I am trying to use cdrecord (both on hardy and ibex) and on hardy it is making me crazy. a simple command of cdrecord dev= -v foo.iso prints tons of warnings and errors and does nothing so i have to kill it
[21:55] <gavagai> What are the extended volume controls called?  aptitude search shows nothing.  i search also for 'volume' and i see libgtk2-ex-volumebutton-perl, is that it?
[21:55] <vesuva> anon: PulseAudio volume control?
[21:55] <ActionParsnip> j2daosh: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[21:56] <guntbert> DamienGray: I don't understand what you want to do
[21:56] <j2daosh> ok, nevermind, i knows the processor correctly, and recognizes it only has a single core, but the system monitor shows 2 cores and both at different %'s
[21:57] <DamienGray> guntbert: I want to format /media/_boot/ for storage. It currently has a half-finished fedora installation on it
[21:57] <vesuva> anon: can you get advanced-volume-control in the package manager?
[21:57] <dick-richardson> When I try to burn a cd in gnomebaker, I'm getting an error: "genisoimage: Directories too deep for 'BaseUtils/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/Pod/Text' (7) max is 6."
[21:57] <PeskyJ> I tried to add 'guest' to the "Users" in Login Window Preferences, but it reported that the guest UID is lower than minimal UID
[21:57] <pignu> is there a tool that remembers your workspace, like i got emacs, firefox running and instead of having too open up the applications each time is there a tool that launches them as your last session online were last?
[21:58] <orkun> since i upgraded to latest intrepid ipex(before i ran hardy heron), i had kernel 2.6.24-21-generic running, which uses r8187 module for my rtl8187b wlan card. since the upgrade to kernel 2.6.27(i guess), rtl8187b is being used. with that module connection drops after a minute. what should i do? i am afraid keeping the older kernel will become impossible
[21:58] <pignu> last session logged in*
[21:58] <dick-richardson> burning this cd is critical...if someone has a moment I'd appreciate a quick look
[21:58] <ActionParsnip> orkun: you'll need the r8187 for intrepid
[21:58] <Snoopy_> pesky: any luck booting windows?
[21:58] <guntbert> DamienGray: normally you find mounted external media under /media, you shouldn't store anything there, type mount in the terminal for more info
[21:59] <PeskyJ> Snoopy_: I got it to boot but I just manually edited the grub commands at boot-time, no idea why it worked.. in the end I had to root(hd2, 0) and swap hd0 and hd2 with map
[21:59] <futurama140> HEY im looking for some video support, could anyone help me figure out how to get my integrated video to work on ubuntu
[21:59] <futurama140> ??
[21:59] <YrreG> ciao
[21:59] <pignu> found the solution thanks ppl
[21:59] <orkun> is it automatically compiled? so i can blacklist rtl8187 with newer kernel and load r8187 instead?
[21:59] <Guest61600> pls how do i get ndiswrapper
[21:59] <orkun> or do i have to manually add r8187?
[22:00] <PeskyJ> Snoopy_: I'm actually more confused about how grub commands affect its behaviour than when I knew nothing ;)
[22:00] <sledge> what would my remote_display be called
[22:00] <sledge> in unix form
[22:00] <DamienGray> guntbert: is there a tool to let me see and manage all of my disks?
[22:00] <YrreG> mi dite pf il canale ubuntu italiano
[22:00] <j2daosh> exit
[22:00] <gavagai> vesuva, install alsamixergui and jack up the left hand volume.  that just fixed it for me.
[22:00] <Snoopy_> yeah that map is what grub uses, the map is determined at grub install time. that's what the --recheck command is for. reprobes the bios and rewrites the map file
[22:00] <futurama140> anyone??
[22:00] <angelo> how can I upgrade openoffice to v3?
[22:00] <gavagai> well it made it a little better anyway
[22:00] <Snoopy_> and i know the feeling
[22:01] <angelo> Snoopy_, hey dog
[22:01] <Snoopy_> hey
[22:01] <st3vie> DamienGray, you can try gparted
[22:01] <orkun> i just see r8187 is not compiled within newest intrepid kernel. rtl8187 won't work for me. will it work to set up r8187 manually? or will i even have to set up my own kernel to do so?
[22:01] <DamienGray> st3vie: thanks
[22:01] <angelo> how can I upgrade openoffice to v3? any takers?
[22:01] <ActionParsnip> futurama140: lspci will show you
[22:01] <st3vie> DamienGray, to format the disk, don't forget to unmount it before you can do that. If I got your question correctly
[22:02] <ActionParsnip> angelo: http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-To-Install-OpenOffice-org-3-0-in-Ubuntu-8-10-96449.shtml
[22:02] <LukeJM> angelo: openoffice.org has a deb package you can d/l
[22:02] <DamienGray> st3vie: Alright...what should I format it to for music storage?
[22:02] <hubar> angelo: http://news.softpedia.com/newsImage/How-To-Install-OpenOffice-org-3-0-in-Ubuntu-8-10-2.png
[22:03] <st3vie> DamienGray, depends on the way you use it. is it an USB stick, then usually vfat is used
[22:03] <guntbert> DamienGray: yes gparted will show you everything, but first have a look at the output of mount
[22:03] <hubar> err yeah what ActionParsnip said :)
[22:03] <angelo> okty
[22:03] <st3vie> if you want to use it between Linux/Winblows machines, then NTFS is the better choice
[22:03] <Snoopy_> anyone ever tried gentoo?
[22:03] <Snoopy_> and had any luck with it?
[22:03] <sledge> Usage: xmacrorec [options] remote_display
[22:03] <Bittarman> is there a really cool util that will let me search and replace all the files in a bunch of dirs recursively, and match only certian file extensions?
[22:04] <ActionParsnip> Snoopy_: yeah i have a system on it
[22:04] <sledge> what should go into the remote_display section?
[22:04] <HiToAll> how can i check which ssh deamon i have?
[22:04] <Snoopy_> lots of use flags?
[22:04] <DamienGray> st3vie: Okay...done...apparently it was a partition, and the actual disk was /dev/sda2/...How do I move my files onto there?
[22:04] <ActionParsnip> Snoopy_: only the safe ones
[22:04] <ActionParsnip> Snoopy_: specific for the semperon  64
[22:05] <st3vie> DamienGray, after format, you can mount it again, and then just copy files to it
[22:05] <Snoopy_> how is the ease of use compared to ubuntu after all the installation and compile is done?
[22:05] <st3vie> Snoopy_, yes, I've used Gentoo for about 5 years
[22:05] <DamienGray> st3vie: So I do sudo mount /dev/sda2/?
[22:05] <jrib> Bittarman: you can do that with find and sed
[22:06] <st3vie> DamienGray, mount /dev/sda2 /media/<dir to pmount it to>
[22:06] <candive> ! apparmor
[22:06] <Bittarman> jrib: know a good article outlining its use? (ill google if not)
[22:06] <Snoopy_> 'cause i tried it and tried compiling gnome and it was missing a lot of the utilities that come with the ubuntu distro of gnome, unless i used a lot of use flags. then i ended up with circular dependencies.
[22:06] <ActionParsnip> Snoopy_: i find it better than ubuntu, same apps and same desktop so its the same to me, its just more optomised under the hood
[22:07] <candive> thanks bot
[22:07] <st3vie> Snoopy_, circular dependencies? wow, never had that problem :)
[22:07] <jrib> Bittarman: not really.  Just the man pages, but they are thick.  poke me if you are stuck, but I'll be gone in about 5 minutes
[22:07] <Snoopy_> never?
[22:07] <futurama140> can someone help me figure out how to get drivers for my integrated video on a compaq???
[22:07] <ActionParsnip> Snoopy_: emerge gnome
[22:07] <Bittarman> jrib: cheers
[22:07] <Snoopy_> yeah i'd have them if i tried all the use flags i wanted at once.
[22:07] <ActionParsnip> Snoopy_: it'll install everything gnome needs
[22:08] <ActionParsnip> Snoopy_: use the safe ones for your cpu
[22:08] <RandomCake> Hi, I installed Ubuntu as a program from windows, and I uninstalled it (possibly badly), and now I'm stuck with a menu item at the OS selection screen in Vista, I've tried to remove it using EasyBCD but it doen't show as an entry, how can I remove it? :S
[22:08] <Snoopy_> only way around it was to emerge gnome, then go  back and add the other use flags that caused the circulars and recompile
[22:08] <Snoopy_> and that was a PAIN...
[22:08] <jrib> Bittarman: btw, it's probably a good idea to make a copy of what you are going to edit since you're using these tools for the first time
[22:08] <Bittarman> jrib: one step ahead there, i just tared the target ;)
[22:08] <angelo> howI upgrade?  sudo apt-get upgrade?
[22:08] <bastones> Hi all. I'm installing Ubuntu on my desktop, the orange bar loaded, all went fine a few moments later I see the Ubuntu background and Install Window but nothing is in the window, nor can I move it around or close it, but I can move the cursor fine? Does it take time to laod for the first time or something?
[22:08] <ActionParsnip> Snoopy_: definately, takes sweet sweet time
[22:09] <Snoopy_> oh well maybe i'll try again
[22:09] <Snoopy_> is gcc 4.3 good yet?
[22:09] <ActionParsnip> Snoopy_: no idea

[22:11] <ActionParsnip> futurama140: what is the output of@ lspci | grep -i vga
[22:11] <jrib> Bittarman: their example is kind of silly.  I would just do something like:   find -iname '*.txt' -exec sed -i 's/foo/bar/g'
[22:11] <futurama140> uh, just a sec

I'm installing Ubuntu on my desktop, the orange bar loaded, all went fine a few moments later I see the Ubuntu background and Install Window but nothing is in the window, nor can I move it around or close it, but I can move the cursor fine?

[22:12] <bastones> I tried installing again and now the Install window has come up
[22:13] <bastones> after, 3-5 mins
[22:13] <Sindwiller> shredder12: we might know better if you described what your issues are
[22:13] <bastones> does this usually take time?
[22:13] <Sindwiller> bastones: depends - it shoudn't take THAT long though
[22:13] <bastones> or should I disable acpi at boot?
[22:13] <WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW> could anyone help me find an inf file for the HWUG1 usb wireless adapter?
[22:13] <Sindwiller> you might try
[22:13] <bastones> ill try disabling acpi
[22:13] <burkesbythebay> Have just re installed ubuntu trying to use a seperate home partition.  This is my fstab http://paste.ubuntu.com/69364/ is my home directory on a seperate partition
[22:13] <Sindwiller> do that :)
[22:13] <futurama140> ActionParsnip:   00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01)
[22:13] <shredder12> Sindwiller: well i am unable to connect to internet...coz i can't find any eth0 network interface specified when i run ifconfig
[22:13] <bastones> whats the exact acpi i need to enter?
[22:13] <Pirate_Hunter> can someone suggest a good music daemon other than mpd?
[22:13] <ActionParsnip> futurama140: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/intel-82845g-graphics-controller-352262/
[22:14] <ActionParsnip> !bootoptions | bastones
[22:14] <futurama140> thankyou
[22:14] <Sindwiller> shredder12: which is not a problem of the Kernel maybe but more likely your net configuration file
[22:14] <Sindwiller> however I forgot which one it is and stuff :/
[22:14] <Sindwiller> seriously
[22:14] <Sindwiller> so many parts and joins
[22:14] <bastones> oh wait, I can move the window now
[22:14] <bastones> must be loading?
[22:14] <Sindwiller> that sure is annoying
[22:15] <jrib> Bittarman: oops, missed the end before, anyway I'm off now, hope that helps:  I would just do something like:   find -iname '*.txt' -exec sed -i 's/foo/bar/g' '{}' \;
[22:15] <ActionParsnip> futurama140: seems to  use the i810 driver
[22:15] <shredder12> Sindwiller Well when i was using hardy earlier and upgraded to 24-21 then i had the same problem..so since then i have been using 24-19..
[22:15] <ActionParsnip> futurama140: which is installed by default
[22:15] <cdavis> Is there a really good network documentation project to help make a map and label routers, switches, ports, ips, subnets, etc?
[22:15] <skybinary> hello #ubuntu, what can i be doing wrong attempting to install intrepid on this enspiron 1520
[22:15] <Sindwiller> shredder12: I see
[22:15] <LF|Irssi> is there a way to "Select All" on nano? or is there any other command line text editor that can?
[22:15] <ldiamond> Can anyone tell me why Firefox keeps randomly crashing?? I even installed the versoin from firefox's site, no change. How can I make sure to remove every config firefox has?
[22:16] <jrib> LF|Irssi: vim :)
[22:16] <shredder12> Sindwiller: I thought it was some bug in the kernel..but whatever it is..has switched to the new kernel..when i upgraded to intrepid..
[22:16] <Ademan> jrib++
[22:16] <step21___> ldiamond: go to #firefox on irc.mozilla.org
[22:16] <LF|Irssi> jrib whats the vim command to select all and copy?
[22:16] <jrib> LF|Irssi: copy to where?
[22:16] <Bittarman> jrib: how do you escape slashes in that syntax? I am updating some paths. e.g. s/path/to/file.../new/path/to/file/g
[22:17] <Bittarman> backticks?
[22:17] <Sindwiller> shredder12: *shrugs* that is some weird issue alright... do you mind to post in the Forums? It doesn't look like anybody in here could help you OR anybody even follows the happenings in this channel, so :P
[22:17] <futurama140> ActionParsnip: none of that support page makes any sense to me, im completely new to linux OSs, and im trying to learn but i cant do hardly anything with my screen res so low, is this a complicated problem to fix?
[22:17] <Ademan> LF|Irssi: you can press V (that's shift + v) and then select the text you want and type "+y
[22:17] <jrib> Bittarman: use a different delimiter:  s#/some/path#/some/other/path#
[22:17] <me> hi
[22:17] <downfallat111> has anyone had any success in using a linksys usb wireless adapter in 8.10? model number WUSB11 version 2.8
[22:17] <LF|Irssi> jrib well im SSH'ing into my VPS and i need to copy the entire eggdrop.conf to my computer some how
[22:17] <me> ,
[22:17] <jrib> Bittarman: but if you want to go insane, you can do \/ to escape a / :)
[22:18] <jrib> LF|Irssi: you're doing it wrong.  Use scp
[22:18] <Ademan> LF|Irssi: what are you using to ssh in? putty?
[22:18] <WWWWWWWWWWWWWWW> could anyone help me find an inf file for the HWUG1 usb wireless adapter?could anyone help me find an inf file for the HWUG1 usb wireless adapter?could anyone help me find an inf file for the HWUG1 usb wireless adapter?
[22:18] <Ademan> rsync!
[22:18] <LF|Irssi> open-ssh i think
[22:18] <WWWWWWWWWWWWWWW> whoops
[22:18] <Bittarman> jrib: many thanks.
[22:18] <WWWWWWWWWWWWWWW> sorry for repeating
[22:18] <seronis> your nic is more offensive than the repeating.   but no worries
[22:19] <riddlebox> how do I make it so I can move stuff above the top of the screen?
[22:19] <Ademan> LF|Irssi: so what's your client machine then? just an ubuntu box?
[22:19] <shredder12> Sindwiller: newaz..at least you can help me with the sound problem i m having..i am unable to get any sound..when i play a song..
[22:19] <jrib> riddlebox: alt+drag a window?
[22:19] <LF|Irssi> jrib care to explain the scp command?
[22:19] <LF|Irssi> Ademan: Ubuntu 8.10
[22:19] <andrew_> ubuntu 8.10 seems to have been released too hastily - the live cd doesn't even boot on my intel everything machine.  downloading the aternate install image...is it known to be more reliable?
[22:20] <Ademan> LF|Irssi: if that's the case you can use places->connect to server      and select the "ssh" server type, and you can use the remote server like a local directory :-)
[22:20] <andrew_> (dumps me at busybox prompt with no error messages)
[22:20] <riddlebox> jrib, it wont let me go above the top bar with applications and stuff
[22:20] <WWWWWWWWWWWWWWW> -non-offensive-nic
[22:20] <jrib> LF|Irssi: scp jrib@ssh.jrib.net:~/foo .    would login to ssh.jrib.net as jrib and copy ~/foo to . locally
[22:20] <LF|Irssi> ok Ademan thanks ill try that do i need to open any ports, or does the remote server need to open ports?
[22:20] <jrib> riddlebox: when you alt-click, click at the bottom of a window.  That works for me, but I am using metacity
[22:20] <Sindwiller> shredder12: hmm... what does 'asoundconf list' spit out?
[22:20] <Ademan> LF|Irssi: only the remote server, but if you can ssh in, then the required ports are already open (tcp 22)
[22:21] <seronis> Wx30:  it just is annoyingly disruptively long.    but id be interested in finding good usb wifi drivers too
[22:21] <Ademan> andrew_: that seems to be a common issue on toshiba laptops
[22:21] <riddlebox> jrib, I have compiz enabled I wonder if that stops it
[22:21] <jrib> riddlebox: maybe
[22:21] <Ademan> andrew_: i believe you can check out a couple of files from busybox to figure out what blew up...
[22:21] <LF|Irssi> ok thanks Ademan and Jrib
[22:21] <andrew_> Ademan: this is a desktop with intel D865 chipset, pretty run of the mill
[22:21] <riddlebox> jrib it does
[22:21] <shredder12> Sindwiller  Intel
[22:21] <jrib> riddlebox: try asking #compiz-fusion if no one here is familiar with that at the moment
[22:21] <riddlebox> now I know
[22:21] <Ademan> andrew_: :-/
[22:21] <andrew_> i read the bug about sata drives but even with all drives disconnected it happens
[22:21] <moho> hey
[22:22] <andrew_> i'll read more about busybox to see if i can find the error
[22:22] <moho> i need leaerning
[22:22] <Sindwiller> shredder12: hmm... righto... are you using GNOME or KDE?
[22:22] <moho> any body can give me the links
[22:22] <Swian> for what moho
[22:22] <shredder12> Sindwiller: gnome
[22:22] <Ademan> andrew_: well usually the issue is actually the livecd "loses" the actual drive that ubuntu is on, the error is something like "cannot find live media" or something like that
[22:22] <moho> i am beginar
[22:23] <shredder12> Sindwiller: let me tell you something imp..
[22:23] <burkesbythebay> anyone?
[22:23] <notoffensive> .
[22:23] <andrew_> strange.  my dvd drive is pata
[22:23] <Swian> moho - http://www.ubuntux.org/
[22:23] <andrew_> and it boots the 8.04 lifve cd fine (i'm typing from it)
[22:23] <rfitgjerogf> l
[22:23] <Ademan> andrew_: :-/ that's pretty crappy, i had that with gutsy (feisty live worked fine, gutsy didn't)
[22:23] <rfitgjerogf> i cant change my nick
[22:24] <Ademan>  /nick newnick
[22:24] <Sindwiller> shredder12: 'sudo asoundconf set-default-card Intel'? I have no idea otherwise
[22:24] <Ademan> burkesbythebay: what was your question?
[22:24] <Sindwiller> I'm using KDE anyway, which uses Phonon
[22:24] <Sindwiller> :S
[22:24] <fudgeman3000> .
[22:24] <moho> helow
[22:25] <shredder12> Sindwiller: earlier everything was working fine..then i switched to 27-7 and there the sounds weren't working so i changed the settings in Preferences->Sound to some HDA oss instead of ALSA...and when i clicked Test i heard a beep so i thougt that everything was working fine..
[22:25] <moho> ???:-)
[22:25] <guntbert> rfitgjerogf: you changed it just 5 times, if I count right :)
[22:25] <fudgeman3000> i do /nick fudgeman3000 and it wont change
[22:25] <Sajuta> fudgeman3000: It's that now.
[22:25] <shredder12> Sindwiller: but when i switched back to 24-19 i didn't worked even after changing the settings back to the earlier one..
[22:25] <fudgeman3000> it doesnt appear that way on the screeen though
[22:25] <LF|Irssi> Ademan: what would be "Places>Connect" on KDE4?
[22:26] <fudgeman3000> it appears as WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW3
[22:26] <guntbert> fudgeman3000: thats just your client, it seems
[22:26] <Ademan> LF|Irssi: oh sorry, i figured you were on Gnome, well on konqueror it would have been fish://uname@server
[22:26] <Circs> I want to put Ubuntu on my Eee 900A (The newer atom variant) but it only has the 4g flash drive, is that enough space?
[22:26] <Swian> sure
[22:26] <Ademan> LF|Irssi: but konqueror isn't a file browser in KDE4 is it?
[22:26] <Swian> Circs, sure
[22:26] <Swian> I have it on a 2gb usb drive
[22:26] <Sindwiller> shredder12: I have no idea :P sorry :)
[22:26] <fudgeman3000> can anyone tell me how to register a nick?
[22:27] <vassalli> dove trovo l'ultima versine di totem
[22:27] <Sindwiller> Ademan: it still is - but the default one is Dolphin
[22:27] <shredder12> Sindwiller: that's fine..
[22:27] <Circs> Swian: Really?  :P
[22:27] <scotlfs> outbackwifi: hey do you happen to still be here?
[22:27] <fudgeman3000> can anyone tell me how to register a nick? ay?
[22:28] <droids> i'm having a problem running steam under wine.
[22:28] <LF|Irssi> Ademan: i think it still comes with KDE4, but it also comes with Firefox 3.*
[22:28] <Ademan> fudgeman3000: /msg nickserv help
[22:28] <scotlfs> Anyone know what happened to "Xorg -scanpci" ?
[22:28] <anubis> MeanderingCode: still here?
[22:28] <Ademan> Sindwiller: do you know how to connect to a ssh server with dolphin then? (or konqueror, i don't really care, I'm just not a KDE guy and LF|Irssi is asking :-) )
[22:28] <Sindwiller> oooh
[22:28] <Sindwiller> I have no idea either, sorry :(
[22:28] <Ademan> :-(
[22:28] <Ademan> lol
[22:28] <Sindwiller> ssh:/ ?
[22:29] <Ademan> luckily i have dolphin installed, one sec LF|Irssi
[22:30] <LF|Irssi> Konquorer works thanks Ademan :)
[22:30] <LF|Irssi> you rock
[22:30] <Ademan> LF|Irssi: no problem :-)  (just for future reference, the same method works in dolphin apparently)
[22:30] <LF|Irssi> ok :)

[22:42] <bastones> not sure... maybe 15 mins?
[22:42] <bastones> 10-15 mins the least
[22:42] <coz_> bastones, ok thats not right
[22:42] <bastones> hmm
[22:42] <coz_> bastones,   did you check the md5sum of the iso image?
[22:42] <bastones> but it does time for the window to come up

[22:43] <bastones> 256MB memory lol
[22:43] <bastones> maybe it'll take sometime
[22:43] <goat|lappy> Marcus_123: i was just looking around for issues the new version of X, maybe that would be related, but I don't see any known issues like that.   sorry
[22:44] <coz_> bastones,  yeah with 256 it may take time   so hold off for a bit :)
[22:44] <bastones> will do :)
[22:44] <Marcus_123> thanks goat|lappy..even a push in the right direction of what to google is much appreciated
[22:44] <bastones> how long roughly would it take do you think coz_ ?
[22:44] <coz_> bastones, well if it goes to b20 minutes or longer I would suggest maybe downloading the alternate cd
[22:45] <bastones> thing is coz_ I have had ubuntu on my desktop previously before probably in July and it did take time for it to all startup?
[22:46] <coz_> bastones, ok then you already know how  your system reacts installing from a live cd /dvd  so hold off  until you think its been too long
[22:46] <goat|lappy> Marcus_123: try something for me,  in terminal, type the following:  sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak; sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[22:46] <coz_> :)
[22:46] <Swian> wow bastones what is your hardware setup, ubuntu is the fastest booting os I have
[22:46] <goat|lappy> Marcus_123: then in nano change vmmouse to mouse, and ctrl+x to save
[22:46] <bastones> not sure, but it has 40GB
[22:46] <fiXXXerMet1> How can I permanently set the mtu in ubuntu?  I've tried adding "mtu xxxx" to /etc/network/interfaces and then restarting networking, but it doesn't take
[22:46] <Swian> 40gb hd is not big
[22:46] <fiXXXerMet1> Using dhcp, by the way
[22:47] <Swian> and its processor ram speed that matter
[22:47] <bastones> yeah, so this is expected right?
[22:47] <Swian> depends on your hardware
[22:47] <assem> i'm trying to use dual monitor after installing nvidia drivers, my 2nd display won't enable itself after an x-restart even though i configure it in nvidia-settings.  could something else (like system=>prefs=>screen resolution) be preventing this?
[22:47] <goat|lappy> Marcus_123: sorry, just a sec, wrong value
[22:47] <eitreach> I need to start mpd before I start X automatically. How would I do that?
[22:47] <Swian> I'm running it on a 2.6ghz amd 64 bit processor
[22:47] <Swian> with 2gb ram
[22:47] <mzwo> hi, intrepid won't let me activate proprietary driver (ati), any idea why?
[22:48] <Marcus_123> ok
[22:48] <billybigrigger> assem, wrong resolution on 2nd display maybe?
[22:48] <guntbert> fiXXXerMet1: I would send it from the dhcp-server, as its network dependent
[22:48] <Armored_Azrael> Hey, anyone know how to properly install onto a hard drive with bad blocks?

[22:53] <swc|666> rsync question -- i'm trying to migrate a mail server. The old mail server (server A) uses key based auth, where I have an SSH key under my admin user credentials. I'm using the same key on the new server (server B) to connect to the old server and rsync the maildirectories for the various virtual accounts. I get permission denied EVERY time rsync hits /var/mail/virtual/.FILES, although it does get the direcotries -- how do I workaround t
[22:53] <swc|666> his?

[22:53] <designerman> I have a really old live cd I want to install from just to get a base system together quick, any wayI can do this?
[22:53] <goat|lappy> Marcus_123: can you paste your /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[22:54] <biomass> mzwo: afaik the ati wasn't released since it was incomaptible with xorg that came with intrepid at the time of release
[22:54] <assem> billybigrigger, i read somewhere on gnome.org that "Screen Resolution" doesn't work for nvidia binary drivers (yet), and i think that preference is controlling my xorg.conf.  but that's just my hunch.
[22:54] <feng14> gam3r111,  in the compiz option animation
[22:54] <gam3r111> i know
[22:54] <gam3r111> but i have no clue what to do feng14

[22:55] <feng14> gam3r111, choose the window closing option
[22:55] <panfist> could anyone please help me find out how to recompile the kernel with a larger page size
[22:55] <biomass> mzwo: ah ok.. hmm then I don't know, sorry
[22:55] <gam3r111> feng14 then what
[22:55] <mzwo> biomass, thanks, anyways :-)
[22:55] <gavagai> Is the regular installation CD any easier than the alternate, or does it just have eye candy?  Again I had problems with the regular cd and had to use alternate.  I am wondering why I should not recommend people try the alternate first and not risk wasting their time with the regular cd.
[22:56] <Marcus_123> goat|lappy:   http://paste.ubuntu.com/69376/
[22:56] <eitreach> I need to start mpd before I start X automatically. How would I do that?
[22:56] <billybigrigger> assem, mine is brief too
[22:56] <mzwo> need help with activating proprietary ati driver, intrepid. much appreciated
[22:56] <feng14> gam3r111, could you wait a moment please? I am on windows XP now
[22:56] <IceWind> Hi, is it possible to define a resolution for the grub menu other than the default one? I'm using a LCD TV and it doesn't support the default resolution.
[22:56] <billybigrigger> assem, i have no prolbems with my nvidia, and through hdmi out to my tv i have no problems either
[22:56] <gam3r111> feng14 shure are you going on ubuntu
[22:57] <btice> gavagai: I've always had good luck with the regular on reasonably new hardware. I had to use the alternate on an old 390E Thinkpad (circa 1999) but on a T43, the regular installer was flawless.
[22:57] <feng14> gam3r111, yea
[22:57] <fruit_blm> just a quick question
[22:57] <gam3r111> feng14 ok
[22:57] <Jmax> hi, how can i get dkms to work?
[22:57] <billybigrigger> assem, but im not going to tv right atm so that could be why my xorg is so small
[22:57] <Jmax> or at least transition to a functional m-a
[22:57] <gavagai> btice, i've had the regular fail on a new desktop and a new laptop.  my experience seems backwards... i never have problems with old hardware
[22:57] <downfallat111> has anyone had luck using the linksys wmp54gs pci wireless card and 8.10?
[22:57] <fruit_blm> how can I get my computer's own mac address ?
[22:57] <unop> gavagai, the live CD has an advantage of being used without actually installing stuff to the HDDs - so it's a great rescue environment. The disadvantage is that it cannot be used as a repository and might not work on some hardware (new video hardware especially)
[22:58] <kikop> have dns silly question
[22:58] <downfallat111> fruit_blm: type ifconfig in a terminal
[22:58] <gavagai> unop, ok so no real advantage in terms of the installation.  just the live aspect.
[22:58] <mzwo> hi, intrepid won't let me activate proprietary driver (ati), any idea why?
[22:58] <gavagai> because in fact the live cd worked on my laptop but would not install on it
[22:58] <btice> gavagai: I guess YMMV. All my hardware has been IBM, but the old stuff was underpowered for the normal installer.
[22:59] <fruit_blm> downfallat111: I ignore the first two digits rite (00) and take the next 6 pairs ?
[22:59] <btice> gavagi: I guess the short answer is, if it works, go with it.
[22:59] <gavagai> i guess in the future unless i need a live distro i'll just always start with the alternate cd.  i don't see any downside
[22:59] <goat|lappy> Marcus_123: whats your environment, is this 8.10?
[22:59] <Jmax> why doesn't m-a work with ubuntu?
[22:59] <assem> billybigrigger, well, i think the problem is the virtual display for the default screen.  i told nvidia-settings to make my hdtv/monitor screen 2.  it didn't change the xorg.conf
[22:59] <downfallat111> fruit:blm: no, i think it is all 6 pairs
[23:00] <gavagai> the alt install was great though... everything on my laptop worked automatically.  (well, so far. i haven't notice any prob)
[23:00] <Marcus_123> goat|lappy:  yes 8.10
[23:00] <unop> gavagai, in terms of installation - the live CD is less customisable - that could be seen as both an advantage and a disadvantage - in most cases, the end result is the same, it's just how you do it that's different
[23:00] <assem> billybigrigger, when you double a tv and monitor, do you use twinview? xinerama?
[23:00] <IceWind> does Lilo allows to define a specific resolution for it's menu?
[23:01] <unop> IceWind, sure, http://www.sprint.net.au/~terbut/usefulbox/lilovgatable.htm

[23:02] <mzwo> intrepid won't let me activate proprietary driver (ati), any idea why?

[23:03] <Jmax> how can i get dkms to properly function?
[23:03] <Bowtrik> Hey everyone. :)
[23:03] <feng14> gam3r111, do you see the animation option?
[23:03] <gam3r111> feng14 yes
[23:04] <unop> IceWind, errm, sorry, i wasn't paying attention to the difference - i believe the menu defaults to something sane, not sure you can change that - but you might want to have a check through the lilo documentation.
[23:04] <im> i have problem warcraft 3 with wine can anybody help?
[23:04] <mzwo> guys, please!

[23:23] <Rhorse> Youser, youser, youser! Hi all...
[23:23] <SJr|Nbook> I'd like to have multi-monitor support like in Windows, on my notebook I Have a 1280x800 and a 1440x900 monitor. Currently twinview with Nvidia, just resizes X to 2720x900 which is unusable. There is a gap of screen that can't be seen. And maximization is to the screen. I'd like maximization to the current screen only. Ideas?
[23:23] <sledge> Set Font Button
[23:23] <buntoow> bicz--> doesnt googleearth have instruction on how to config?
[23:24] <bicz> yes
[23:24] <shredder12> buntoow... i don't think the problem is with the wireless chip..i use ethernet..newaz..i am using dell1395 wireless card..
[23:24] <buntoow> shredder12--> so what is the problem? be clear and specific
[23:24] <bicz> buntoow: yes but i cant find the section "font"
[23:24] <Melwasul> thanks! that should really answer all the questions.
[23:24] <buntoow> bicz--> maybe it is a section you need to add? dont they have a sample?
[23:25] <shredder12> buntoow...the network option in System->Administration which open the network manager is missing..
[23:25] <bicz> buntoow: really don't know dude :|
[23:25] <shredder12> buntoow..and i m not even getting any manual configuration option when i left click on the network icon in panel..
[23:25] <buntoow> shredder12--> maybe it has not been added, go to system->admintration->main menu  and add network-manger
[23:25] <shredder12> kk.
[23:25] <mzwo> buntoow, sorry, am confused. too much stuff in said dir, don't know what to look for. sorry for being daft, might need closer tutoring ...
[23:26] <wos> could anyone help me find an inf file for the HWUG1 usb wireless adapter?
[23:26] <goat|lappy> shredder12: in intrepid, the network settings are in preferences
[23:26] <buntoow> shredder12--> what does iwconfig  tells you?
[23:26] <bicz> buntoow: i'm on intrepid, i install googlearth from medibuntu's repo
[23:26] <jpv950> anyone know a panel applet to temporarily disable mousepad touch clicking?
[23:26] <shredder12> goat|lappy..you mean by the name of network configuration..
[23:26] <buntoow> mzwo--> that dir i mentioned holds bunch of drivers, pick the one that is suited for your video and load it
[23:27] <goat|lappy> shredder12: yes
[23:27] <wos> could anyone help me find an inf file for the HWUG1 usb wireless adapter?
[23:27] <buntoow> bicz--> you can google for "googlearth how to configure?"
[23:27] <goat|lappy> wos: inf files are for windows, aren't they?
[23:27] <shredder12> buntoow..hey as goat|lappy says..i think then its no problem now..
[23:27] <warty> alquien habla espa;ol__
[23:27] <goat|lappy> !es | warty
[23:27] <mzwo> buntoow, i hear what you're saying and i understand the concept, but i just don't know which one it would be - nothing with ati or fglrx in the name to be found
[23:28] <buntoow> shredder12--> good am glad, you were just looking in the wrong menu
[23:28] <wos> goat|lappy: yes but im using ndiswrapper
[23:28] <goat|lappy> wos: sorry :-) my bad
[23:28] <wos> could anyone help me find an inf file for the HWUG1 usb wireless adapter?
[23:28] <shredder12> well, i m having a weird problem..i am able to run ethernet on 24-19 but when i switch to 27-7 it has no option for ethernet interfaces..
[23:28] <goat|lappy> wos: have you tried the manufacturers site?
[23:28] <kernando> i have two folders on my desktop that are locked or somethin i cant delete them
[23:28] <wos> goat|lappy:  yes
[23:28] <Andreica> thanks, it works
[23:29] <kernando> also there is 4 fodlers in my recycle bin that i cannot remove
[23:29] <shredder12> i mean when i do ifconfig eth0 i says  eth0 error: no such device
[23:29] <goat|lappy> kernando: alt+f2  then type gksudo nautilus, then navigate to the dir's and delete (including trash)
[23:29] <goat|lappy> kernando: but be careful, cause you have root priv's
[23:30] <punzada> anyone know a terminal command I can load to spawn the 'screen resolution' window? tv-out has made me lose my gnome bar so i'm trying to disable that output without messing with xorg if i can help it
[23:31] <buntoow> mzwo sorry am out of ideas for now, maybe you can google for it?
[23:31] <kernando> goat|lappy the folders on the desktop dont show up and it says it cannot display wats in the trash
[23:31] <goat|lappy> kernando: on the right, go to filesystem
[23:32] <goat|lappy> kernando: then go to home -> your name -> desktop
[23:32] <LukeJM> does anyone know if you can use the ndiswrapper fix for 8.04 on 8.10?
[23:32] <kernando> gothca
[23:32] <buntoow> shredder12--> paste in pastebin your  /etc/network/interfaces  contents  and include  route -n and /etc/resolv.conf
[23:32] <shredder12> kk..
[23:32] <mzwo> buntoow, thanks.
[23:32] <LukeJM> i mean the ndiswrapper fix for the 8187b wireless chipset
[23:33] <kernando> goat|lappy how to i get to the trash folder?
[23:33] <buntoow> LukeJM--> i dont know, but can you try if it solves it?
[23:33] <mzwo> anybody apart from buntoow ;-) : intrepid won't let me activate proprietary driver (ati), any idea why?
[23:33] <goat|lappy> kernando: click on the edit icon next to your path then type ~/.local/share/trash
[23:34] <goat|lappy> kernando:
[23:34] <goat|lappy> sorry,   /home/(yourname)/.local/share/trash
[23:34] <LukeJM> buntoow -- i'm going to give it a shot... see if it fixes my range issues
[23:35] <DavidCanarias> Can anyone please tell me how to install a tar file?
[23:35] <goat|lappy> kernando: *Trash
[23:35] <shredder12> buntoow.. there they are..http://paste.ubuntu.com/69392/
[23:35] <canthony> can i save as docx in OO3
[23:36] <etoD> haj. In the installer partioner, if I do not set a mount point for a certain partition i get a warning, "this partition will not be used at all." Does this mean the partitioner will format the partition?
[23:36] <goat|lappy> DavidCanarias: tar files are packages,  you have to open and remove the contents to install it.  but there are better packages made for ubuntu,  what are you installing?
[23:36] <TimR> i need some help why my 56k isnt working for
[23:36] <eitreach> I need to start mpd before I start X automatically. How would I do that?
[23:36] <kernando> goat|lappy, thanks alot that worked well but now how do i get rid of the root priveleges just close it?
[23:36] <goat|lappy> kernando: yup
[23:36] <buntoow> shredder12--> can you repaste the link ?
[23:36] <TimR> i need some help why my 56k isnt working for
[23:36] <shredder12> ok..
[23:36] <shredder12> buntoow..http://paste.ubuntu.com/69392/
[23:36] <kernando> cool thanks that was pissing me off for a long time
[23:36] <assem> billybigrigger, hi billy, i think i found my problem
[23:37] <buntoow> shredder12--> can you repaste the link  put a space, i can not click on it
[23:37] <shredder12> ok..
[23:37] <goat|lappy> kernando: it seems some files were owned by root, instead of your user, thats what was stopping you from being able to delete them,  yw
[23:37] <shredder12> buntoow:    http://paste.ubuntu.com/69392/
[23:37] <jrib> eitreach: install mpd through apt
[23:37] <buntoow> thanks
[23:37] <assem> billybigrigger, apparently nvidia-settings doesn't gtksu or set to root before running... so even though i changed my options it didn't rewrite to xorg.conf.  also, as root i ran nvidia-xconfig and it populated my xorg.conf with real values.
[23:38] <eitreach> jrit: I have.
[23:38] <TimR> here is my link to the forum http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=974860    i need to figure how I can get my 56k to work for fax only
[23:38] <jrib> eitreach: why do you need to start it before X?
[23:38] <buntoow> shredder12--> your eth0 is up right?
[23:39] <shredder12> buntoow: ya at the moment i am using 24-19 so i am able to connect using ethernet..
[23:39] <TimR> here is my link to the forum http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=974860    i need to figure how I can get my 56k to work for fax only
[23:39] <PeskyJ> hrm, I notice that guest sessions have a home directory in a temporary location, does this means guest settings are not preserved?
[23:39] <buntoow> shredder12--> what is 24-19 ?
[23:39] <goat|lappy> !repeat | TimR
[23:39] <canthony> i can seem to get openoffice to save as docx, or any OOXML format
[23:39] <eitreach> jrit: I'm tired of having to close my music players when having to restart X.
[23:39] <shredder12> buntoow: kernel 2.6.24-19
[23:40] <shredder12> i m sorry for the wrong notation..
[23:40] <TimR> here is my link to the forum http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=974860    i need to figure how I can get my 56k to work for fax only
[23:40] <buntoow> shredder12--> okay, so what is the issue again? since you have eth0 working
[23:41] <jrib> eitreach: so not "before X", just when you boot then?
[23:41] <buntoow> shredder12--> i have to do something right now, be back in a few
[23:41] <eitreach> jrit: Right.
[23:41] <jrib> eitreach: this happens automatically when you install mpd
[23:41] <eitreach> jrit: Apparently not. Whenever I restart X, mpd goes down with it.
[23:42] <CoJaBo-Eee> Anyone here ever tried setting up RAID?
[23:42] <linxeh> CoJaBo-Eee: daily.
[23:42] <shredder12> buntoow: earlier when i was using Hardy i got an update for 2.6.24-21 i upgraded my kernel but found that there was no ethernet device when i used the new kernel..so i continued working on 24-19 but when i upgraded my system to intrepid...i faced the same problem with the new kernel..2.6.27-7..that's why i am looking for some solution..??
[23:42] <linxeh> CoJaBo-Eee: though always with hardware raid
[23:43] <CoJaBo-Eee> Any experience with software RAID? Hardware RAID is looking way too expensive.
[23:43] <Bowtrik> So is Amarok better than Totem?
[23:43] <QRZ> CoJaBo-Eee: Yes.  What raid level and hw or sw raid?
[23:43] <Bowtrik> Or is that based on opinion? XD
[23:44] <Andreica> is any application for linux that defragment ram?
[23:44] <linxeh> CoJaBo-Eee: only with those cheap highpoint cards, and that was almost 10 years ago I'm afraid. I'm sure others have
[23:44] <shredder12> Bowtrik: for what purpose..are u using them..
[23:44] <jrib> eitreach: that's not because mpd is not started before X.  You can check yourself that mpd is running as the mpd user.  The issue is probably related to pulseaudio, that's my guess anyway
[23:44] <PeskyJ> CoJaBo-Eee: many motherboards support RAID these days
[23:44] <Bowtrik> Just for mp3's.
[23:44] <canthony> is it possible to save as docx in openoffice 2.4 or 3
[23:44] <shredder12> Bowtrik: then amarok is the best..
[23:44] <QRZ> CoJaBo-Eee: raid in Ubuntu is somewhat flaky at the moment.
[23:45] <designerman> I have a really old ubuntu live cd that I need to install from, how can I do this?
[23:45] <QRZ> CoJaBo-Eee: ...at least software raid configured in mirror...
[23:45] <Bowtrik> Shredder12, it does seem like it is much better suited to it. But Totem puts up a nice effort at least.
[23:45] <click170> Does anyone know why readline isn't compiled into irb in Hardy?
[23:45] <NekroJakub> Man, Ubuntu runs sooo much smoother than Kubuntu
[23:45] <NekroJakub> KDE4 is really bloated...
[23:46] <CoJaBo-Eee> I'd actually like to get something like RAID 5 working.
[23:46] <shredder12> Bowtrik: wait a min..you are talking about Totem Movie player.. isn't??
[23:46] <Bowtrik> NekroJakub, I have read the same things about that. That Gnome is faster and such.
[23:46] <QRZ> CoJaBo-Eee: I haven't played with raid 5 so don't know...
[23:47] <Bowtrik> Shredder12, I was talking about whichever Totem player came with my Ubuntu 8.10
[23:47] <zabbadapp> how is the awn systray supposed to work? I have added the "awn notification daemon" applet, but nothing appears ... shouldn't i.e. rhythmbox show up if it is running? I have also removed the systray area from the gnome panel since some forums say it could interfere..
[23:48] <QRZ> CoJaBo-Eee: I just know that raid 1 has issues with boot-up after a swapoout/failure of one of the members.
[23:48] <shredder12> Bowtrik: well still for mp3s there is nothing better than amarok..i have used plenty of music players and have found nothing like amarok..
[23:48] <CoJaBo-Eee> I need something that can withstand a drive failure, yet still keep most of the space. Looks like RAID 5 is the most popular solution.
[23:48] <QRZ> CoJaBo-Eee: That's correct.  You want raid5.
[23:48] <ConstantineXVI> i've got a noticeable audio delay in flash (~.5s), is there a fix?
[23:48] <Rhorse> shredder12, I think quodlibet has it beat, but those with low IQ often complain about confiuration problems
[23:48] <shredder12> Bowtrik: it jst provides so much facilities that you can hardly find anything about it to complain
[23:48] <PeskyJ> can I return to the "Welcome" screen without logging out?
[23:49] <CoJaBo-Eee> It won't be the boot drive, so booting off it is not a problem.
[23:49] <Bowtrik> Shredder12, I actually just reinstalled 8.10 Intrepid Ibex, and I forget how to get DvD playback. :(
[23:49] <meta> Anyone have vpn problem with Ubuntu 8.10. Until i install this version i can't connect to my job (Windows PPTP connection) Thank You!
[23:49]  * canthony wants to save as docx
[23:49] <Sebboh> hi.  There was a bug fixed in Firefox recently, no earlier than 3.0.4 I belive.  So I want to run that version today, on my Intrepid machine.  How might I do that?
[23:49] <ConstantineXVI> PeskyJ, lock screen, switch user
[23:49] <shredder12> Rhorse: well i haven't ever used it..infact i am hearing about it the first time..but i would definitely want to try it now..
[23:49] <QRZ> CoJaBo-Eee: Then you should have no issues with it.  The installer supports raid configuration and is pretty straight-forward.
[23:50] <buntoow> shredder12--> compare the old   /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/net/ and in the new to see if drivers are missing or not
[23:50] <PeskyJ> ConstantineXVI: ahh yes, thanks :)
[23:50] <NekroJakub> shredder12: Amarok indeed pwns! *slow reactions ftw*
[23:51] <Rhorse> shredder12, the best thing about it is it's library scanning: you can add to your library cumulatively, you don't have to rescan every time.
[23:51] <CoJaBo-Eee> Can it handle USB drives for the RAID volumes?
[23:51] <QRZ> CoJaBo-Eee: Not sure.
[23:52] <NekroJakub> Rhorse: Are you saying there's something actually better than Amarok? o_O
[23:52] <shredder12> buntoow: could you again specify which files do i need to compare..
[23:52] <codyzapp> where can i find the audio (wmamod) for ubuntu.. all my wmv movies dont have sound on vlc :(

[23:53] <buntoow> shredder12--> the driver you used for your nic card
[23:53] <NekroJakub> Rhorse: It's a wolf, not a bear! Just kidding. And what did you find instead?
[23:53] <shredder12> but which files??
[23:53] <buntoow> shredder12--> find out which driver your nic card uses.. sudo lshw -C
[23:54] <shredder12> kk..
[23:54] <linux02> how do i find out what video card is running on my computer?
[23:54] <Reilithion> Should the VESA X module be loading if it isn't specified explicitly in /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
[23:54] <CoJaBo-Eee> I have seen a few guides on USB raid of hard drives and even flash and floppy drives, so it looks like it can be done.

[23:55] <Nergoth> I don't like racists and niggers
[23:55] <NekroJakub> How can I make Pidgin indicate that someone spoke my name, like underline it or something?
[23:55] <CoJaBo-Eee> Its just a matter of how difficult to set up, and how fast it will be I think.
[23:55] <Rhorse> NekroJakub, quodlibet is perfect (with most of the plugins installed). Fast, light and a fast scanner. Plus you get ex falso thrown in the bargain.
[23:55] <poly> lol wow
[23:55] <Miesco> Is there any good video editing software?
[23:55] <goat|lappy> !language | Nergoth
[23:55] <QRZ> CoJaBo-Eee: I would guess it can but I bet the installer won't support it.
[23:55] <buntoow> shredder12--> i forget the command..
[23:55] <shredder12> buntoow: i think you mean sudo lshw -C network..isn't??
[23:56] <Nergoth> it was joke guys, don't be mad :E
[23:56] <NekroJakub> Rhorse: And what's ex falso?
[23:56] <QRZ> CoJaBo-Eee: Only one way to know for sure...

[23:58] <CoJaBo-Eee> Is there any info on how to tell when a drive fails? That seems to be left out of most of the guides I am finding.
[23:58] <Rhorse> I use xchat, which does this by default. But if you have firefox, chatzilla does it also. Don't know much about Pidgin
[23:58] <poly> xchat rules
[23:58] <keystr0k> I second that... xchat is awesome
[23:58] <shredder12> buntoow: well here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/69400/

[23:59] <poly> I have never used anything else

[23:59] <NekroJakub> Ahh, I guess getting Xchat might be benefitial.
[23:59] <etoD> hmm
[23:59] <etoD> can someone help me with the probelm that the installer says it cannot mount one of my partitions, an ntfs one
[23:59] <eitreach> jrit: If you're still available, you were right. I can start mpc fine, but there's no sound. In /etc/default/pulseaudio I have enabled system-wide - but are there more steps?
[23:59] <Rhorse> keystr0k, I also like that xchat only charges Winduhs users: 29.99 after trial. 8 )
[23:59] <QRZ> CoJaBo-Eee: Google for, "mdadm" and you will have tons of information on raid maintenance.
[23:59] <ajhtiredwolf> Hey what is the correct way to add the comand to remove and or add a module in rc.local? I know you would do rmmod *module* but you have to put the location of the module not just the name right?
[23:59] <NekroJakub> And damnit, I second the brilliant packager whoever said that
[23:59] <NekroJakub> A couple of clicks, one search...
[23:59] <keystr0k> Rhorse, WOW. I didn't know they charged! haha. dang.

[17:25] <nigelb> Tomorrow should be fun.
[17:25] <nigelb> I'm organizing and I have Debian.
[17:25] <nigelb> I might end up doing a general "how to triage" thingy
[17:25] <duanedesign> the LoCo has been getting a little active lately. I am hoping that means some people turn up
[17:26] <duanedesign> nigelb: I was thinking that too
[17:26] <duanedesign> nigelb: our LoCo monthly meeting is the same day. So I scheduled the Jam immediately after
[17:27] <duanedesign> it is my month to give a demo/talk at the meeting so I thought I would either do wiki/documentation or bug triage how to
[17:28] <nigelb> duanedesign: I'm leaning to a triage how-to
[18:04] <dpm> hey duanedesign, I've just had a quick look at clicompanion. If you rearranged the layout in the locale/ folder you'd be able to use automatic translations exports. Let me know if I can help you in any way
[18:16] <paultag> nigelb: ouch
[19:04] <jono> JFo-swap, the cake song...it still haunts me....
[20:40] <czajkowski> aloha
[20:41] <paultag> czajkowski: hai there :)
[20:41] <czajkowski> howdy
[20:41] <paultag> czajkowski: we've got pending mail from nigelb -- can you approve? I forgot / don't have access to the ml admin
[20:43] <czajkowski> nope
[20:43] <czajkowski> I cant not till tomorrow
[20:43] <czajkowski> sorry
[20:43] <paultag> ok
[20:43] <czajkowski> not on the machine with listadmin
[20:43] <czajkowski> is it urgent ?
[20:43] <paultag> czajkowski: popey'll get to it
[20:44] <paultag> czajkowski: I don't know. He filed a queue on it so I'd guess, but I'm not sure. I've not read it / got more details
[20:45] <czajkowski> folks know if it's urgent to pm one of us.
[20:45] <paultag> czajkowski: aye
[20:53] <paultag> vish: are you around, my friend?
[20:58] <czajkowski> http://www.drinksmixer.com/drink10320.html  is what we drank from 2am till 5am
[20:58] <czajkowski> and the reason IU just deleted a job spec off my server
[21:02] <Pendulum> czajkowski: so fat frog makes for fat fingers?
[21:05] <czajkowski> or the sugar made it impossible for me to sleep
[21:05] <czajkowski> drive from galway up here took forever
[21:05] <czajkowski> add 3 monkies
[21:06] <vish> paultag: hey
[21:07] <czajkowski> monkies are very cute just 3 of them jumping on you after 2 hours sleep tends to really break you
[21:09] <paultag> vish: Heyya, one of my buddies filed something against 100 paper cuts, and it pisses me off too -- any chance I could have you look at it and see if it'll apply?
[21:10] <vish> paultag: sure.. :)
[21:10] <paultag> vish: bug 625518
[21:10] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 625518 in hundredpapercuts "Add a keyboard shortcut by default for take screenshot of a selection" (affects: 2) (heat: 12)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/625518
[21:10] <paultag> vish: real low hanging :)
[21:11] <vish> paultag: hehe! good that you dint complete that line ;p
[21:11] <paultag> hahaha
[21:12] <vish> paultag: Alt+PrtSc already does that
[21:12] <paultag> ...
[21:12]  * paultag hugs vish
[21:12] <vish> well , atleast its supposed to do :)
[21:13] <paultag> vish: no, that does it
[21:13] <paultag> vish: feel free to slam that bug to invalid :)
[21:13] <vish> paultag: yay! that was a quick fix :)
[21:13] <paultag> vish: woo!
[21:13] <paultag> vish: thanks again :)
[21:14] <vish> paultag: np. :)
[21:14] <czajkowski> prawn crackers are addictive
[21:17] <paultag> vish: wait a sec, I'm geting word back that I'm mis-uderstanding what he meant
[21:17]  * vish lift finger off the button! ;)
[21:17] <paultag> Let me make sure I don't make the same mistake twice, one sec
[21:17] <vish> lifts*
[21:19] <AlanBell> alt+prtscrn does a screenshot of the window with focus
[21:19] <paultag> I think he's talking about selection
[21:19] <paultag> Aye, yeah
[21:19] <vish> yeah , the blog seems a bit more detailed..
[21:19] <vish> hmm..
[21:23] <AlanBell> and yes, gnome-screenshot -a does the right thing and it does seem papercutish to define a key combo for it
[21:23] <paultag> AlanBell: Aye, that's why I had him file it there :)
[21:24] <AlanBell> pretty cool trick that, didn't know it could be done, I normally use gimp if I want to do that
[21:24] <paultag> +1
[21:26] <vish> i guess that the 'Select area to grab' we get from Accessories > Take Screenshot
[21:26] <AlanBell> actually gnome-screenshot --interactive is pretty cool, it has everything there
[21:27] <AlanBell> which is what accessories-take screenshot does
[21:27] <vish> :D
[21:29] <paultag> BRB
[21:30] <czajkowski>
[21:30] <czajkowski>
[21:31] <vish> czajkowski: blank thoughts? ;)
[21:31] <czajkowski> vish: meh
[21:32] <czajkowski> movde latop to rest on top of me and curled up on couch
[21:56] <czajkowski> Spring Cleaning the wiki over UGJ Weekend - http://www.lczajkowski.com/2010/08/27/spring-cleaning-the-wiki-over-ugj-weekend/
[22:24] <jono> hey Lauree_ :)
[22:24] <Lauree_> hey!
[22:30] <jono> back soon
[22:30] <jono> heading to the global jam


[17:45] <mterry> Is there a trivial way to get Mir to spew all sorts of debugging info?  (trying to see why QMirServer fails to start)  -- do I still have to set all sorts of MIR_SERVER_XXX_REPORT=log variables?
[17:49] <kdub> mterry, afaik, there's no 'turn on all the logs' option
[17:50] <mterry> kdub: is there even an easy way to see the separate options?  u-s-c --help I guess?
[17:51] <kdub> I think that would work, or else mir_demo_server --help
[17:52] <mterry> kdub: thx will do -- I don't have concrete suggestions for fixing this, but each time I have to do this, I spend a little figuring out what the names are again and then setting a bunch of options
[17:54] <mterry> It's not an easy problem, since each debugging case probably wants a separate set of variables
[17:54] <mterry> But just finding out what to set is a pain
[17:54] <mterry> And if I didn't know how to translate --help output into a set of variables, I'd be very lost
