[00:00] <g_> not a widget, i'd prefer some graphic text that is actually on the bg
[00:00] <nemo> g_: sure. totally!
[00:00] <shcherbak> g_: conky
[00:00] <nemo> g_: I love talking about this 'cause it is my favourite bit of simple hackery.
[00:00] <Xborder> Gnea sorry. i'm a bit noob :\ dont know what those are except for the hard drive. Led?
[00:00] <nemo> g_: you don't need an application at all, this is kinda fun.
[00:00] <g_> conky is all widgets no?
[00:00] <WorkingOnWise> what do I have to do to be able to set up my laptop for "offline imap" so I can read and delete main offline then sync back to gmail what I connect again?
[00:00] <WorkingOnWise> using evolution
[00:00] <eriksson25> Anyone could help me get sudo dkms remove -m mantis -v 2.6.35-22-generic --all
[00:00] <eriksson25> to work
[00:00] <g_> nemo: well plan b was to knock up a php script to pull data and write it to the backgroun d
[00:01] <Agent_Smith> jpds: To re-enter play after being killed.
[00:01] <Gnea> Xborder: okay, are you on a laptop or a desktop style computer?
[00:01] <r007> Agent_Smith kill xinet.d and then stop ssh
[00:01] <Agent_Smith> jpds: lol ... like in counter strike
[00:01] <ElPasmo> puddles: ok, thanks a lot anyway... I'm in ubuntu and I can work perfect with unity broken :P
[00:01] <jpds> Agent_Smith: Exactly.
[00:01] <bombshell> Anyone here could help me with empathy?
[00:01] <Gnea> !ask | bombshell
[00:01] <shcherbak> g_: with some effort imagemagick and gconf-tool would do
[00:01] <Agent_Smith> r007: I already undestand whats happing in my machine
[00:01] <puddles> g_: mmm, imagemagick renders into your background, tell nautilus background has changed?
[00:01] <Xborder> Gnea i'm on a dektop. and everything was fine yesterday. today cant launch the apps
[00:01] <Agent_Smith> r007: http://upstart.ubuntu.com
[00:01] <Xborder> *desktop
[00:01] <Agent_Smith> r007: jpds helps me
[00:02] <r007> lol
[00:02] <Agent_Smith> r007: thanks for your help as well
[00:02] <puddles> g_: this means you have to use a local background in a file you can write into :-)
[00:02] <Gnea> Xborder: okay. on the front of the desktop 'box' itself, do you have some small differently colored lights to tell you that the system is on?
[00:02] <TheBaws> hey guys
[00:02] <TheBaws> I need help putting the internet on my computer
[00:02] <xx--ms-gulati-sn> hey every1
[00:02] <Agent_Smith> jpds: nowadays like in call of duty ... lol
[00:02] <Xborder> Gnea LED as in the light on the tower? yes i have that and it blinks as in "thinking"
[00:02] <TheBaws> On my ubuntu computer
[00:02] <Agent_Smith> jpds: thanks ...
[00:02] <Gnea> TheBaws: you'll need a *LOT* of hard drive space for that
[00:02] <_jesse_> TheBaws: the whole internet!? you think it'll fit?
[00:02] <TheBaws> Its harder than windows
[00:03] <Agent_Smith> bye all
[00:03] <g_> puddles: i thought all bgs had to be local?
[00:03] <xx--ms-gulati-sn> TheBaws: i cant do it either
[00:03] <jpds> Agent_Smith: No worries.
[00:03] <bombshell> Empathy, once I go offline, all the options are grayed out and I can't log back into my accounts?
[00:03] <blackshirt> TheBaws: what your troubles ?
[00:03] <TheBaws> I try to use the wireless internet
[00:03] <TheBaws> with the wireless card
[00:03] <TheBaws> but it says it can't
[00:03] <Gnea> Xborder: okay, yes, those are the LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes). there should be one for power, another for the hard drive (HD or HDD) - the blinking one is usually for the HDD
[00:04] <_jesse_> TheBaws: do you mean wireless or broadband?
[00:04] <michael__> what kind of wireless card do you have?
[00:04] <xx--ms-gulati-sn> TheBaws: wht you gotta do, is you gotta buy a full pro computer to run the internets
[00:04] <Xborder> Gnea yeah the green one as in power and a red blinking one for cpu processing
[00:04] <shcherbak> g_: he ment extra (copy) file to edit and substitute.
[00:04] <TheBaws> I mean the wireless internets
[00:04] <_jesse_> TheBaws: so you have a wireless router you are trying to connect to?
[00:04] <WorkingOnWise> what do I have to do to be able to set up my laptop for "offline imap" so I can read and delete main offline then sync back to gmail what I connect again, using evolution for the mail client?
[00:05] <TheBaws> yes
[00:05] <TheBaws> BTW this is on my PS3
[00:05] <yagoo> TheBaws, does iwlist work?
[00:05] <_jesse_> TheBaws: ubuntu on your bs3?
[00:05] <lacrymology> Does anybody know if there's a way for the USB drives to appear on a windows virtualmachine with virtual box? any other virtual machine will do too, but I'll have to reinstall, so I'd rather use virtualbox if it's possible
[00:05] <_jesse_> *ps3
[00:05] <TheBaws> yeh
[00:05] <_jesse_> ah
[00:05] <_jesse_> lol
[00:05] <TheBaws> I want the intenets on it
[00:05] <_jesse_> TheBaws: I'm not sure how well they support that wireless card
[00:05] <Gnea> Xborder: actually, the red one is blinking to tell you that the HDD is processing information, which is sort of an extension of the CPU itself doing work, but not all the time, because the CPU has to do simple things like keeping track of time, which the HDD doesn't blink for, so the LED is only blinking when things like applications are launched, files are being saved, and when data is being moved in and out from RAM to SWAP and so forth
[00:05] <TheBaws> Ah.
[00:06] <TheBaws> maybe I need to use the cable internets
[00:06] <yagoo> lacrymology, not ubuntu related.. ask #vbox.. yes you can hook up physical usb drives to a vm guest
[00:06] <_jesse_> TheBaws: I would suggest looking around  http://psubuntu.com/
[00:06] <lacrymology> yagoo: thanks
[00:06] <ActionParsnip> lacrymology: you can share the mount point as a folder in teh config, or use the closed source version. i suggest you ask in #vbox as it is more specific to your issue
[00:06] <TheBaws> okay I will go to that site
[00:06] <Gnea> Xborder: So, when you attempt to launch an application, does the red LED blink more often than not?
[00:07] <xx--ms-gulati-sn> _jesse_: oi how do i make a computer be able to watch the tvs
[00:07] <_jesse_> xx--ms-gulati-sn: with a tv tuner
[00:07] <xx--ms-gulati-sn> where do i buy one?
[00:07] <Xborder> Gnea not really. it keeps blinking at the same rate as before
[00:07] <_jesse_> xx--ms-gulati-sn: I'd recommend newegg.com
[00:07] <TheBaws> I got one from the ebay
[00:07] <TheBaws> I bought the one with the lights on it
[00:07] <Gnea> Xborder: okay. what version of Ubuntu do you have installed?
[00:07] <xx--ms-gulati-sn> i only have $40
[00:07] <r007> larcymlogy you can share it with the guest from the host iirc theres no way to assign a usb device unless its a hd
[00:08] <_jesse_> xx--ms-gulati-sn: that should be enough
[00:08] <redfrog> How do you guys usually watch TV on Ubuntu? tvtime?
[00:08] <TheBaws> I use the remote
[00:08] <xx--ms-gulati-sn> ok
[00:08] <Gnea> redfrog: preferably with mythtv
[00:08] <Xborder> Gnea 10.10? dont know if thats what you need :\
[00:09] <Gnea> Xborder: okay, can you open a terminal?  Applications->Accessories->Terminal
[00:09] <xx--ms-gulati-sn> How do i install windows 7 on a windows 95 computer??
[00:09] <Xborder> Gnea had it installed from this iso ubuntu-10.10-alternate-i386
[00:09] <TheBaws> So guys I have the windows computer
[00:09] <Xborder> Gnea yeah sure
[00:09] <Gnea> Xborder: excellent
[00:09] <TheBaws> and I want to put linux on the windows
[00:09] <TheBaws> is it possibles?
[00:09] <TheBaws> possible*
[00:09] <soares> oi alguem fala portugues
[00:09] <maco> !pt
[00:09] <Xborder> Gnea it's open
[00:09] <Gnea> Xborder: so, you were able to open an app - good.
[00:09] <ridin> TheBaws: Inside Windows would be Wubi, next to windows your have to reboot to the cd
[00:10] <Gnea> Xborder: what other apps have you tried to open?
[00:10] <r007> !ubottu | xx-ms-gulati-sn | windows lover
[00:11] <soares> oi alguem fala portugues
[00:11] <Xborder> Gnea yeah. some stuff opens and others dont. i think (still noob) there might be something to do with the keyring (if that exists) because i have problems with Empathy and my IM accounts and with a program called PS3 media server
[00:11] <aeon-ltd> !portuguese | soares
[00:11] <TheBaws> so you guys all have the ubuntu?
[00:11] <TheBaws> can I use dx11 with a cracks?
[00:12] <arthurwang> my ubuntu version is 9.10 and when I install softwares the sata will frizzle until the end of installing. but it is ok when I use win7. can anyone tell me someting?
[00:12] <TheBaws> is it possible?
[00:12] <Gnea> Xborder: maybe your keyring wasn't setup right
[00:12] <r007> artyhurwang yeah your full of ****
[00:12] <Habstinat> How does this picture make sense if I have a 100% definitely bootable CD in my drive when booting up, and what can I do about it? http://twitpic.com/36yh44/full
[00:13] <Habstinat> Tried both the alternate installer and the regular one for 10.10 desktop x64.
[00:13] <ridin> TheBaws: well, there's directx8 for wine
[00:13] <ridin> TheBaws: if you're going to game, keep a dualboot with Windows
[00:13] <Habstinat> My computer just doesn't seem to recognize it.
[00:14] <xx--ms-gulati-sn> how to i play games on my computer??
[00:14] <r007> Ive used Linux since back in the days of having to build from source yeah it was a pain but ffs you cant call it now and say windows works better with all the package managers
[00:14] <ridin> xx--ms-gulati-sn: use the ubuntu software center. it should be in applications -> games
[00:14] <Xborder> Gnea yeah but the only way i know how to set it up is going to my im accounts and since i have none yet set it up by putting my msn credentials the first time. yet when i go to system -> preferences-> im and voip accounts nothing happens. no "window" pops out
[00:14] <yagoo> xx--ms-gulati-sn, you have to donate 35 dollars.. then you can play games
[00:14] <xx--ms-gulati-sn> yagoo: ok
[00:15] <ridin> Habstinat: you probably already know this, have you tried the 32bit?
[00:15] <xx--ms-gulati-sn> whats your bank account
[00:15] <TheBaws> ah dual boot
[00:15] <ridin> xx--ms-gulati-sn: no.
[00:15] <TheBaws> woww
[00:15] <TheBaws> I like the 32 bits
[00:15] <xx--ms-gulati-sn> ridin: really
[00:15] <TheBaws> its better than the 16
[00:15] <xx--ms-gulati-sn> do i pay you?
[00:15] <ridin> no, you pay on the ubuntu software center
[00:15] <ridin> open it in applications -> ubuntu software center
[00:15] <xx--ms-gulati-sn> ohhh
[00:15] <Gnea> Xborder: well, the keyring is separate from your online accounts
[00:15] <Pici> xx--ms-gulati-sn, TheBaws: stop.
[00:16] <xx--ms-gulati-sn> so i need a macintosh computer yeah?
[00:16] <ridin> xx--ms-gulati-sn: no.
[00:16] <xx--ms-gulati-sn> why not?
[00:16] <TheBaws> Pici: stop what?
[00:16] <TheBaws> I'll stop them
[00:16] <ridin> if this is a humor or troll attempt it isn't funny :(
[00:16] <TheBaws> just tell me who
[00:16] <Gnea> !guidelines | TheBaws
[00:16] <ridin> xx--ms-gulati-sn: because why would you even need it at the first place?
[00:16] <r007> xx--ms-gulati-sn anything thats better than your windows :D
[00:16] <Habstinat> ridin: No, but my computer is 64bit (I'm running 64 bit Ubuntu on it right now, but it was with Wubi and I want to switch to a partition) and I want to have the operating system match. Why, does x32 tend to have better luck with this sort of thing?
[00:16] <deinspanjer> Hey guys, I'm trying to walk my dad through opening up a terminal prompt so I can run ifconfig to see why he has no net connection..
[00:17] <TheBaws> Gnea: sorry guys its just we are using the school internet.
[00:17] <deinspanjer> I can't figure out where the Terminal app entry is on his "start menu"..
[00:17] <xx--ms-gulati-sn> ridin: what is troll
[00:17] <r007> xx--ms-gulati-sn keep paying for bill gates to score fit young blondes :D
[00:17] <ridin> Habstinat: i thought your processor is 32bit only
[00:17] <xx--ms-gulati-sn> r007: good idea
[00:17] <ridin> deinspanjer: applications -> terminal
[00:17] <Pici> r007: That sort of commentary isn't needed here either.
[00:17] <Gnea> TheBaws: this is #ubuntu, you really need to stay to topic. talking about anything to do with piracy is a no-no.
[00:17] <deinspanjer> I don't have an Ubuntu desktop handy at the moment. Could anyone tell me where it is in the menu hierarchy?  i.e. Start | Tools | Terminal prompt
[00:17] <r007> Pici sorry
[00:17] <TheBaws> sorry
[00:17] <TheBaws> ohhhh
[00:17] <xx--ms-gulati-sn> sorry
[00:18] <blackshirt> deinspanjer: what destkop you are using ?
[00:18] <Xborder> Gnea yeah its the first time i heard of the keyring (used ubuntu 8,04 in the past) and had the accounts and no problems with apps.
[00:18] <TheBaws> Gnea: sorry
[00:18] <TheBaws> but I can't load the guidelines page
[00:18] <TheBaws> the school blocked it
[00:18] <ridin> Habstinat: also maybe if you checked the md5sum and the burn speed? keep burn speed low
[00:18] <TheBaws> what do I do
[00:18] <deinspanjer> ridin: yay.. that's what I needed. Thanks so much.
[00:18] <xx--ms-gulati-sn> who here plays c-o-d
[00:18] <ridin> xx--ms-gulati-sn: please stop this.
[00:18] <TheBaws> Guys what do I do
[00:18] <mikha_> so anyone can help ? i still cant log into my firefox while my pidgin is connected :s
[00:18] <Habstinat> ridin: Hm? No, I have both 64bit Windows 7 and 64bit Ubuntu 10.04 on it running fine right now. I made sure to burn the alternate installer at lowest burn speed possible, but still no dice.  BEAUTY
[00:19] <Gnea> but they can read.
[00:19] <r007> xx--ms-gulati-sn I suppose loads play cod on there Linux flashed xboxes
[00:20] <ridin> mikha_: you can't use pidgin when firefox is open? o_o?
i can open firefox but it give me timed out connection and if i ping sites it ping
[00:21] <Gnea> Xborder: okay, try this: applications->accessories->passwords & encryption keys
[00:21] <skelterjohn> mikha_: you didn't answer about if you had "work offline" checked in firefox's file menu
no i dont have it
[00:21] <ridin> mikha_: no websites at all?
[00:21] <Lint01> why I cannot remove CPP package?
[00:22] <r007> mikha_ can you ping from bash?

[00:22] <Xborder> on the passwords tab
[00:22] <ridin> Lint01: why would you, it's pretty weird on why you would
[00:22] <Gnea> Xborder: are they under the Passwords: login tree?
[00:22] <r007> mikha_ can you ping from your box?
 yes and the program u gave me and i just install a fresh ubuntu 10.10 but in the other laptop it is working

[00:24] <greg__> which is now expired
[00:24] <greg__> but I have this single ssh connection to my home computer that stayed open
[00:25] <blackshirt> mikha_: what you mean with have windows 7 ?
[00:25] <mikha_>  <blackshirt>ma i installed ubuntu 10.10 minutes ago
[00:25] <greg__> any ideas how to make it do port forwarding without closing it?
[00:25] <Gnea> Xborder: okay, then the 'defaults' are leaves of the 'password: login' tree
[00:25] <r007> mikha_ can you telnet to port 80 on google?
i mean on my laptop that i have on it win 7 i can open internet but on this i cant open firefox
[00:25] <Lint01> why do I need c preprocessor? i doing no c programming
[00:25] <ridin> mankeletor: delete all rows and columns on the table
 let me check
[00:25] <Xborder> Gnea come again? didnt get it.
[00:26] <Gnea> Xborder: okay, click on any of the defaults and then on the 'properties' button at the top
[00:26] <ridin> lint01, well, i bet you get a broken system if removed, so don't remove it
[00:26] <g_> greg__:  use and abuse!
[00:26] <mikha_> i can
 i can
[00:26] <tiago> alguem sabe me dizer c existe algum programa tipo o orkut manager para o ubuntu???
[00:27] <Gnea> !br | tiago
[00:27] <psusi> Lint01, then you don't need it...
[00:27] <electrofreak> So, I installed the kubuntu-desktop package a few days ago... now I want to remove it... what's the best way to do that
[00:27] <Lint01> i thought I not to have keep useless junk in linux
[00:27] <r007> mikha_ hmm not sure but apparmour has a profile for firefox by default might be an issue
[00:27] <Lint01> but if i try to remove it half of my apps go with it
[00:27] <shcherbak> greg__: why you need x?
[00:27] <ridin> !puregnome | electrofreak
[00:28] <greg__> haha mostly to browse reddit
[00:28] <Xborder> Gnea yeah it just says the name. for example Default_1. if i open the leave as you called it it says something like: butterfly/msn/myemail;param...
[00:28] <shcherbak> greg__: links2? elinks?
 what u mean ?
[00:28] <jsec> Lint01: Do NOT remove cpp.
[00:29] <deinspanjer> So I got my dad into a terminal shell and had him type "ifconfig".  From what he read to me, there is only a loopback interface, no eth0 or anything.
[00:29] <greg__> shcherbak: I know I can browse by text, I just wanted to see if it was possible to beat the system
[00:29] <deinspanjer> That sounds to me like his network card died..
[00:29] <r007> !ubottu apparmour | mikha_
[00:29] <deinspanjer> Can anyone think of any other reasonable explanation for the browser saying it is in "offline mode"?
[00:29]  * psusi wonders WTF anything on the default desktop depends on gpp for
[00:30] <g_> greg__: can't you tunnel?
[00:30] <greg__> I can't open a new connection
[00:30] <greg__> that's the catch
[00:30] <Lint01> why? what is it for?
[00:30] <deinspanjer> I'm wondering if I might have been trying to prove my hypothesis to the exclusion of some other reasonable cause
[00:30] <g_> oh
[00:30] <Gnea> Xborder: okay, then it ought to be linked right.. how are you trying to access empathy?
[00:30] <Gnea> !language | psusi
[00:30] <g_> greg__: may as well enjoy lynx then or go out and get some sun
[00:30] <Lint01> why GSTREAMER depends on CPP???
the weird part i pinged gmail and in the same time opened firefox
[00:31] <shcherbak> greg__: thinking, most obvious would to try second connection
[00:31] <g_> greg__: or you could wget everything, and then open it in firefox
[00:31] <mikha_> and it did say internet time out
[00:31] <greg__> haha its night and raining where I am, but thanks
[00:31] <Lint01> and gksu, and buch of x apps... can someone explain?
[00:31] <greg__> haha actually might be the best option
[00:31] <guillaume_> Are you new Lint?
[00:31] <g_> greg__: write a little script to do it
[00:31] <Xborder> Gnea applications->internet->Empathy, or by the clock theres an envelope. when i click it theres chat under it. pressing chat used to open empathy aswell
[00:31] <Lint01> new to what?
[00:31] <jsec> Lint01: maybe because they have libraries that are dependent on CPP to process before the apps are compiled?
[00:31] <greg__> I was just hoping there was some magic way to change the terms of a ssh connection while it was already open
[00:31] <r007> mikha_ that is weird maybe a coincidence but looks like firefox was waiting for an icmp packet
[00:32] <guillaume_> You got trouble with gksu thingy?
[00:32] <Xborder> Gnea now when i click either or those nothing happens :\

[00:32] <guillaume_> Hello :)
[00:32] <Habstinat> ridin: Well, my MD5 sum for the ISO is 1b9df87e588451d2ca4643a036020410 , which is right, just blanked my disk and will rewrite the standard installer to it slowly.
[00:32] <g_> ohh, trying to download fedora iso with axel causes a segfault :(
[00:33] <Lint01> rootchord, sudo udisks --mount /dev/xxx --mount-options ro,exec,nosuid
[00:33] <Gnea> Xborder: okay, I usually just use the mail-icon next to the clock to get to mine
[00:33] <Gnea> Xborder: it says 'chat' so I just click on that
[00:34] <Guest69439> got a small problem if some one can help the grub is not showing the xp partition
[00:34] <g_> greg__: could you have somesort of loopback in firefox, which triggers a script to wget and get the file, then save it to /tmp ?
[00:34] <carandraug> hi! I had an ssh connectino to a server and for some reason it got disconnected. I would like to reconnect to it. Everywhere I look, people just say to use screen. I'm familiar with it but I was not using it and I really want to to reconnect to that ssh session. Is that possible? And if so, how?
[00:34] <rootchord> Lint01, when it's there on boot it gets set to /dev/sdB1 but if i connect it later it is /dev/sdC1
[00:34] <Xborder> Gnea yeah ok me too. but now nothing happens :\ i think because of the 3 defaults on the password and encription thing. maybe the 3 default are in conflict (again noob thinking maybe)
[00:34] <r007> mikah_ what happens if you ping localhost?
[00:34] <Habstinat> ridin: 10.0x, using burnproof, not simulating before burning is good?
[00:35] <masen> carandraug: screen will only help you in the future
[00:35] <r007> mikah_ while waiting for the browsert connection
[00:35] <masen> if you've already lost a session, that you weren't using screen with, it is lost
[00:35] <Gnea> Xborder: have you tried logging out, then logging in again?
[00:35] <acal> I need help... I'm trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 for my 64BIT AMD system and when I install it works, but after the reboot it gives me this error: "Disk Boot Failure, Insert Boot Disk and Press Enter"
[00:35] <Xborder> Gnea yeah, and restarting too
[00:35] <carandraug> masen, I know. Everywhere I look when I google it, they just say how to prevent. Couldn't manage to find a way to solve my problem yet
[00:36] <Gnea> Xborder: k, have you tried updating the software on the system?
[00:36] <tucemiux_mob> acal, sounds like you have a hardware problem with your hard drive, try reinstalling grub
[00:36] <masen> carandraug: i don't believe that it's possible
it keep pinging and it give me internet timed out
[00:36] <acal> I can boot into the live ubuntu (test it out before you install) which is what I'm on right now.
[00:36] <greg__> I'm not sure how that would work, but idk I't probably not worth it, I think I'l just give in and give the westin my money
[00:36] <ElPasmo> acal have you any usb pendrive or external disk connected during boot?
[00:37] <carandraug> masen, damn. aptitude upgrade was running. And the session closed when I was at those ncurses interfaces upgrading GRUB
[00:37] <Lyman> i have a hewlett packard office jet g85 on a fresh 10.04 install, and it says the printer is online, but wont print, when trying to print self test page, i get CUPS server error, "client-error-document-format-not-supported" what can i do about this
[00:37] <tucemiux_mob> acal, the problem could also be that youre doing something funky when installing grub
[00:37] <acal> I have a usb mouse, PS2 keyboard
[00:37] <Jordan_U> Habstinat: Make sure that you enable verifying the md5 of the disk after burning in whatever burning software you use.
[00:37] <ridin> Habstinat: 4x is recommended
[00:37] <acal> How am I doing something funky installing grub? How do I reinstall it, and will it fix it?
[00:37] <masen> carandraug: have you tried dpkg-reconfigure <pkg_name>
[00:37] <greg__> oh shit I got a plan
[00:37] <ElPasmo> acal: I had the same problem once, and it was when I had a external usb HDD connected...
[00:37] <greg__> how about netcat
[00:37] <CaneToad> any recommendations as to a good gui-based backup solution for ubuntu?
[00:38] <Jordan_U> acal: How many hard drives do you have?
[00:38] <sorush20> hi, I'm copying 227GB and at 13 min remaining I had to restart the computer. Now that I am trying to repeat the process I get an option to merge, however the speed is very slow less than 1mb per second.
[00:38] <r007> mikah_ so theres no network issues this is weird
[00:38] <acal> I have one connected IDE and an optical drive SATA
[00:38] <mikha_> r007 i kno :S
[00:38] <g_> sorush20: it may be trying to locate where it was?
[00:38] <Xborder> Gnea not since it stoped working. msn empathy and ps3 media server and i havent noticed anything else not working. cant open system-> preferences-> instant messaging and voip either
[00:38] <shcherbak> greg__: or use wget -R
[00:38] <acal> is there a terminal command that I can verify the OS?
[00:38] <masen> carandruag: for instance: dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc
[00:38] <Gnea> Xborder: I don't understand - are those 3 different applications or 3 different accounts?
[00:39] <ridin> acal, the last time i reinstalled grub was installing it in the MBR, then making a menu.lst for grub
[00:39] <carandraug> masen, no. aptitude is still running. I still don't know if it will become a problem. It might. But before restart the computer and hope everything is okay, I was hoping to simply reconnect
[00:39] <r007> mikah_ do you have lynx instaleed or can you use wget?
[00:39] <s093294> I did put up a iptables prerouting forward, nothing else. If i make a request on eth1 ip the packages get forwarded, but on ppp0 ip they just get to the firewall and nothing more. Theres no drop polity, its all set to accept.
[00:39] <greg__> yeah alright I'm gonna give it a shot, but I gotta exit out of the irc client
[00:39] <Jordan_U> acal: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280
[00:39] <greg__> thanks for your help
 i will get lunx 1 sec
[00:39] <masen> carandraug: good luck with that mate, is the server distant?
[00:39] <tucemiux_mob> acal, I usually install to the master boot record, I dont know how you installed grub, it also sounds like it could be potentially a hard drive going bad, I would reinstall grub just to test
[00:40] <Habstinat> ridin: 10x was the slowest option given in the Ubuntu "burn to disk" tool. Jordan_U: There doesn't seem to be that option. I'll check the MD5s of each individual file once the burn is complete.
[00:40] <acal> okay let me test the script then I'll try the reinstall
[00:40] <ElPasmo> !grub
[00:40] <skelterjohn> question: in 10.4 I want to remove the "shutdown" item from the system menu for all users. how can I do this?
[00:40] <Xborder> Gnea Empathy is the msn client right? PS3 media server is an app to connect to your ps3 to stream contents, movies and stuff. and i cant go to the menu about my instant messaging and voip accounts
[00:40] <Castbound> guys iconfigured a new router as a switch, I have no problems to connect to it but the network icon is showing a red ! sign what does it mean?
[00:40] <carandraug> masen, nop. It's on my living room. I can try it when I get home
[00:40] <ridin> Habstinat: maybe the cd is another guess i had
[00:41] <snakesqzns> #ubuntu really needs tiered support channels...
[00:41] <Lyman> my printer was detected as soon as i plugged it in, however it wont let me print
[00:41] <Freeheart> I'm having a generalized problem and I'm wondering if anybody has solved it or has input on it. When I transmit recorded audio over my network, it cuts out regularly. Like 30% of the audio stream just drops.
[00:42] <Lint01> have no idea
[00:42] <masen> Freeheart: wired or wireless?
[00:42] <Freeheart> First, I thought it was an issue with Skype, but found that Google Voice has the same issues, and then Ekiga using an entirely open protocol.
[00:42] <Castbound> guys iconfigured a new router as a switch, I have no problems to connect to it but the network icon is showing a red ! sign what does it mean? -- In addition to that I had a few problems to resolve some sites, like this irc channel, took me some secs to resolve
[00:42] <Freeheart> masen: Wireless.
[00:42] <Jordan_U> Habstinat: You can also just run "md5sum /dev/cdrom".
[00:42] <Gnea> Xborder: I think you're a bit confused on the PS3 media server bit: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ps3MediaServer
[00:43] <masen> Freeheart: it could just be a straight up bandwidth issue...do you share the connection with others?
[00:43] <Freeheart> No, I am on a reasonable connection by myself.
[00:43] <Jordan_U> !pastebin | acal
[00:43] <Gnea> Xborder: and empathy is an all-in-one IM client, so it would handle MSN for you
[00:43] <Gnea> Xborder: it can also handle things like yahoo IM, google talk, icq, etc
[00:43] <Freeheart> Additionally, Skype-to-Skype works fine... it seems only to happen when the audio is SIP OR crossing a PSTN network.
[00:44] <rootchord> anyone got any ideas on this one? i have an fstab entry made for my external ntfs hdd using UUID. it mounts it where i want it to(/media/Data) if the drive is there at startup, but if i connect it afterwards it mounts it to /media/Data_
[00:44] <yokomoto> i keep clickin peoples names by accident :/
[00:44] <mdpatrick> I have a dynamic IP, but I want to be able to consistently get access to my ubuntu box via SSH... what's the best solution to use?
[00:44] <masen> rootchord: do you have a user option in fstab for that entry?
[00:45] <Gnea> Xborder: can you get to system->administration->system monitor?
[00:45] <tucemiux_mob> mdpatrick, static ip, next question
[00:45] <Xborder> Gnea yeah and i have a problem lauching some applications and not others. the ones i cant lauch are empathy and ps3 media server. with that said, i cant enter the instant messaging and voip accounts menu (under System->Perferences->) either
[00:45] <acal> http://paste.ubuntu.com/533297/
[00:45] <Xborder> Gnea yeah it's open
[00:46] <r007> mdpatrick write a shell script to send you the output of ifconfig
[00:46] <Freeheart> masen: Skype-to-skype works without the audio clipping. And I get great quality and latency under Windows using the same router and internet connection.
[00:46] <Jordan_U> mdpatrick: dyndns is free (as in beer).
[00:46] <andrew_m> mdpatrick: look into dydns
[00:46] <masen> Freeheart: could be an audio codec issue
[00:46] <Robinux> guys on a laptop i don't know what cpu it has, if a usb ubuntu x64bit installer fails to load and says "Boot error" ... it must mean its a 32bit system?
[00:46] <Robinux> right?
[00:46] <masen> Freeheart: are you using 10.10?
[00:46] <snakesqzns> Freeheart, I have the same problem with shoutcast
[00:46] <rammyIRC> i want to make my laptop connected to ethernet to be a hotspot...so i connect my ipod touch to it
[00:46] <Freeheart> masen: It's the damndest thing. If it weren't so consistant across services (Skype, Google Voice and Ekiga) I would blame the networks. But something is affecting ALL of these.
[00:46] <rammyIRC> im using ubuntu 10.04
[00:46] <snakesqzns> Freeheart, also, opengl stutters for me.  I suspect it's a serious kernel issue
[00:46] <Gnea> Xborder: yes, I know, you've told me this many times now :)
[00:47] <Xborder> Gnea sorry lol
[00:47] <Gnea> Xborder: I'm trying to help you figure out why that is and try to fix it
[00:47] <shomon> has anyone managed to get sound working on hp g62's?
[00:47] <Freeheart> masen: Yes, 10.10. I've tested both i386 and AMD64 and both do the same.
[00:47] <Gnea> Xborder: np :)
[00:47] <mdpatrick> tucemiux_mob: duh dum cha
[00:47] <masen> Freeheart: stumped me
[00:47] <mdpatrick> Jordan_U, andrew_m: thanks!
[00:47] <tucemiux_mob> mdpatrick, :-)
[00:47] <snakesqzns> Freeheart, http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/8054/adf.mp4  <- this is what opengl does on mine.  Do you have any issues running 3d apps, like glgears?
[00:48] <Xborder> Gnea yeah and i apreciate it but since i'm not english native i'm affraid of nothing going through lol
[00:48] <Jordan_U> Robinux: No, you would get a different error (complaining specifically about needing 64 bit) if that were the (only) problem.
[00:48] <shomon> I'm about to upgrade my alsa using this upgrade script: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1046137 but how do I make sure it's the right thing in my case?
[00:48] <Jordan_U> mdpatrick: You're welcome.
[00:48] <maco> shomon: you shouldnt need a script
[00:48] <tucemiux_mob> acal, I might be mistaken but this message is saying you installed grub in the wrong partition, I would try reinstalling grub: Unknown BootLoader  on sda2
[00:48] <maco> shomon:  newer versions of alsa are packaged now
[00:48] <Freeheart> snakesqzns: Generally, I have no problems aside from the audio issues I'm describing.
[00:48] <shomon> how do I diagnose sound not working in lucid?
[00:48] <Gnea> Xborder: okay, with the system monitor open, you can see either graphically what the system load is doing (if it's high, that's not a good sign, and if it's got little ridges, it's not doing too much) or if it's showing a list of processes, you can see which ones are using the most CPU usage
[00:48] <maco> shomon: linux-backports-modules-alsa-maverick-generic assuming youre on 10.10
[00:48] <acal> how do I reinstall grub?
[00:48] <Lyman> any thoughts or comments on my printing problem
[00:49] <shomon> yup, vanilla install
[00:49] <snakesqzns> Freeheart, so you can confirm no issues with opengl apps,  or you haven't run any opengl apps?
[00:49] <maco> shomon: well try installing that package. it has newer drivers
[00:49] <Freeheart> snakesqzns: Using both the ATI Proprietary drive and the RadeonHD, I have seen no noticable stuttering.
[00:50] <snakesqzns> Freduardo_, do you have an i7?
[00:50] <Freeheart> Not where I couldn't pinpoint the specific cause (i.e. I was transfering a hundred gigs of files at the time)
[00:50] <snakesqzns> er, Freeheart
[00:50] <bamboochas> i have problem in setting staticly interface in /etc/network/interfaces: auto usb0 <endl> iface usb0 inet static <endl> address <IP_ADDRESS> <endl> netmask <IP_ADDRESS> <endl> network <IP_ADDRESS> <endl> broadcast <IP_ADDRESS> <endl> gateway <IP_ADDRESS>     Doing: ifconfig usb0 <IP_ADDRESS> broadcast <IP_ADDRESS> netmask <IP_ADDRESS> up     and  route add default gw <IP_ADDRESS>    work just fine XD what is wrong with my /etc/network/interfaces config ?
[00:50] <tucemiux_mob> bamboochas, use pastebin
[00:50] <Jordan_U> acal: From that ouptuput it looks like grub is not the problem. Have you been able to boot any OS from that hard drive, attatched to this machine? Your BIOS may not be seeing the drive at all.
[00:50] <greg1785> il y a quelqun ?
[00:50] <ehc> greg1785, bien sur

[00:52] <Robinux> ahh damn does the universal usb installer from pendrivelinux really offer
[00:52] <Robinux> md5 checking
[00:52] <greg1785> pardon ?
[00:52] <Xborder> Gnea yeah as in task manager in windows. in cpu usage no problems there. it doesn't go above 8% on a process called mono. all the others processes are using 0% and sometimes the monitor itself uses 4% of the cpu. the ram being used is about 10% maximum
[00:52] <Robinux> if not then how do i do md5 checking
[00:53] <greg1785> #chat-belgique
[00:53] <ehc> I want to run a command on every startup, but also after resuming from being suspended. Is there a way to do this?

[00:53] <greg1785> #charleroi
[00:53] <bamboochas> i have problem in setting staticly interface usb0 in /etc/network/interfaces: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=QG7wq63y      Doing: ifconfig usb0 <IP_ADDRESS> broadcast <IP_ADDRESS> netmask <IP_ADDRESS> up     and  route add default gw <IP_ADDRESS>    work just fine XD what is wrong with my /etc/network/interfaces config ?
[00:53] <Jordan_U> Habstinat: That suggests that there is a problem with the CD or drive.
[00:54] <Habstinat> Jordan_U: Do you think burning on another computer would most likely fix it?
[00:54] <Lyman> could someone look at this and tell me if they see a problem, http://paste.ubuntu.com/533306/
[00:55] <Lyman> the problem is that my printer was detected upon ubunutu 10.04 install, but i cant print to it, i think it could be a cups problem, i'm new to ubuntu, so any help is appreciated
[00:55] <mdpatrick> Jordan_U, andrew_m: How does it keep my IP up to date?? I registered
[00:56] <greg1785> #hainaut
[00:56] <Jordan_U> Habstinat: It depends on where the issue is. If it's a problem with the disk itself, no (unless you also use another disk). If it's a problem with the burning functionality of the CDROM drive, yes. If it's a problem with the *reading* functionality of the CDROM drive, no.
[00:56] <greg1785> # hainaut
[00:56] <Jordan_U> greg1785: /join #hainaut
[00:56] <mdpatrick> Jordan_U, andrew_m: Nevermind! I found the update clients. Thanks again.
[00:56] <yagoo> Lyman, go to webbrower url:"http://localhost:631"
[00:56] <Jordan_U> mdpatrick: You're welcome.
[00:56] <greg1785> lol mici ;-)
[00:57] <acal> bios is showing my drive
[00:57] <Habstinat> Jordan_U: Any way I could narrow these options down, like performing tests to determine which of the three the problem lies with?
[00:58] <acal> So my drive is showing in bios.. it's a gigabyte board, IDE 100GB Drive, Radeon GPU, Amd Phenom II X4 920
[00:58] <snakesqzns> why is ubuntu's kernel using 250 hz instead of 1000 hz??
[00:59] <Lyman> yagoo, thanks for the tip\
[00:59] <Jordan_U> Habstinat: If you take a new CD, burn it on another computer, and try to boot it on anther computer, then you will no that the disk is good and burned correctly. Then just try booting it on the problematic machine and if it fails to boot it's a hardware problem on the problematic machine.
[00:59] <Ronaldlo> how can I find a PID via terminal?
[00:59] <Lyman> yagoo, i went there, but i don't see the obvious
[00:59] <Ronaldlo> ie, ssh compatible
[01:00] <yagoo> Lyman, what does that mean?
[01:00] <acal> I also scanned the drive with GSmart Control
[01:00] <Lyman> yagoo, i can't seem to print, the printer was detected upon fresh install of 10.04
[01:01] <quizme> how do you find out how fast my processors are ?
[01:01] <Jordan_U> acal: This will only help if you have a broken BIOS, but try running "sudo parted /dev/sda set 1 boot on"
[01:01] <yagoo> quizme, cat /proc/cpuinfo
[01:01] <quizme> yagoo thank you sir
[01:02] <yagoo> quizme, measuring processor performance is comparative though.. wikipedia has a geekness on "bogomips"
[01:02] <acal> Ran that and it said: "Information: You may need to update /etc/fstab. "
[01:02] <quizme> yagoo in otherwords, it's not just the mhz that matters ?
[01:02] <bombshell> According to Gnome, my status being unable to change could be a Ubuntu issue
[01:03] <bombshell> in my empathy client
[01:03] <bombshell> They are telling me that Ubuntu uses it's own, Notification Applet
[01:03] <yagoo> quizme, you can only know how fast a machine performs something if it is benchmarked against another machine performing the same task
[01:03] <quizme> yagoo right...
[01:03] <joey_> does any one know what is the easiest way to share an internet connection?
[01:04] <yagoo> quizme, mhz doesn't necessarily it will run the same task faster..
[01:04] <quizme> yagoo especially with multi-core
[01:04] <Xborder> Gnea my empathy works now. unninstall and reinstall and it works now
[01:05] <yagoo> quizme, scientists make benchmark tools online... but here's if you're interested http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bogomips
[01:06] <Ronaldlo> how do I find a process id?
[01:06] <joey_> does any one know what is the easiest way to share an Internet connection?
[01:06] <alesan> hi
[01:06] <Xborder> Gnea thanks man
[01:06] <Jordan_U> acal: Ok, try rebooting.
[01:07] <alesan> what should I do to get the SOURCE CODE of a command that is installed in UBUNTU?
[01:07] <Jordan_U> acal: If you use my nickname (Jordan_U) in your messages they will be highlighted in my client so I am less likely to miss them.
[01:07] <quizme> yagoo: here is my processor : http://pastie.org/1304333

[01:13] <blackplague1347> I know this is blasphemy here, but let's say I want to switch back to windows...can I do it? Ubuntu occupies my entire HDD right now.
[01:13] <izinucs> blackplague1347: sure.. wipe the drive clean and spend 3 hours installing windows
[01:13] <DrManhattan> blackplague1347, you just install windows again
[01:13] <quizme> blackplague1347: can't do it.  you are one of us now.  there is no going back.
[01:13] <DrManhattan> izinucs, it only takes about 15 minutes now
[01:14] <xangua> blackplague1347: just format the hd and install it
[01:14] <Solved> I made some adjustments to the appearance of grub, and now it looks awful. Is there a way to reset it to its default settings?
[01:14] <quizme> blackplague1347: have you ever seen the movie "invasion of the body snatchers" ?  It's like that.
[01:14] <linuxien> for life ;)
[01:14] <blackplague1347> lol izinucs you make it sound so appealing
[01:15] <blackplague1347> Do I need to re-format the HDD? I deleted all partitions from it with GParted once, but got an error upon attempting to install.
[01:15] <quizme> give me Unity3D on Ubuntu, or give me death.
[01:16] <izinucs> DrManhattan: on win 7?  I haven't experienced that.. just reinstalling xp sp1 .. *way* to many updates
[01:16] <linuxien> quizme instal the cube its beter dan 3 d
[01:17] <ehc> Can I setup a process with upstart to run after the system resumes from being suspended?
[01:17] <DrManhattan> yea well, xp is almost a decade old. I bet if you tried to install a decade old distro of linux it would be a little hectic getting it up to date too
[01:17] <Ronaldlo> How do I find backgroud processes?
[01:17] <yagoo> Blackguard, where's the HD connected to?
[01:17] <izinucs> blackplague1347: yea.. you can delete all the partitions then create one partition for the whole drive.. format it fat32 if you'd like
[01:17] <blackplague1347> If I could just get The Sims 3 to work, I'd stick with it. Problem is, it doesn't. I've followed every step and solution I've seen online to get it to work with Wine, but it's just not happening, apparently.
[01:17] <bombshell> I finally figured out my issue, apparently the options are grayed (for those who did not know or wasn't informed) ref: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-me/+bug/452067 -- That you needed empathy to be running for those options to become available
[01:18] <izinucs> blackplague1347: not familure with The Sims 3 but are some of the sims now opensource?
[01:18] <blackplague1347> Not that I'm aware of. Either way, I went out and bought it so I'd prefer to be able to use it >_>
[01:18] <izinucs> DrManhattan: yep.. probably worse.. so 7 installs quick?

[01:20] <tbrock> it shows me the old hostname
[01:20] <tbrock> when i do that
[01:21] <shcherbak> hm?
[01:22] <blackplague1347> M'kay izinucs. I'll have a look.
[01:22] <RogueShadow> From what I understand, if I fully backup my home folder, re-installing ubuntu entirely is going to change very little except fix anything broken right?
[01:22] <izinucs> tbrock: you have to restart networking I think ...
[01:22] <tbrock> ok
[01:23] <tbrock> i was googling and it said something about /etc/init.d/hostname.sh
[01:23] <tbrock> but i don't have that
[01:23] <blackplague1347> izinucs: The playonlinux thing is what I did. Maybe it's because I'm not running "ubuntu" but something based off of and supposedly compatible with ubuntu?
[01:23] <izinucs> blackplague1347: could be
[01:24] <ads> I have a problem with my umts modem. Since 2 weeks the modem get's disconnected right after I got my ip address, with the following error: "modem-manager: mbm_e2nap_received, disconnected
[01:24] <blackplague1347> I get 5 shots with my serial number/code. How does it keep track of how many I've used?
[01:25] <xangua> !appdb | blackplague1347
[01:25] <izinucs> blackplague1347: in wine? probably with some file it saves.. if that's an issue then you uninstall wine and delete all the wine directories and the file will dissappear
[01:25] <shcherbak> tbrock: cat /etc/hostname and hostname should give same
[01:25] <tbrock> restarting networking didn't work
[01:26] <mdpatrick> I just made a config file in /etc... how do I set the permissions so any user can view it?????
[01:26] <izinucs> blackplague1347: on windows it's a different issue.. a little harder.
[01:26] <tbrock> they aren't because i haven't rebooted yet
[01:27] <blackplague1347> izinucs: Well, here's what I've done. I tried to run the Sims 3 in a virtual box. It was fine, except VB doesn't do accelerated graphics. So that's out. I tried it with Wine a couple different times, once with PlayOnLinux. No success.  I was unware that it didn't support accelerated graphics and would be a waste of time, unfortunately.
[01:30] <izinucs> blackplague1347: was the vbox install from the repos? if you get it direct from vbox then you have 2d & 3d accellerated graphics.. a little experimental but it's there.
[01:31] <blackplague1347> Ahhh, let me check. Fedora is stingy with it's repos when it comes to certain things.
[01:31] <wasutton3-Kira> how would i go about finding the first character in a line from the command line?
[01:31] <izinucs> blackplague1347: even on ubuntu the repo install is the ose version.. no usb support etc..
[01:32] <cordoval_> I have 2 txt files and do a diff but it says they are very different , but I can see they are not as different, is there any other command to compare them in a more smart way?
[01:32] <cordoval_> diff text1.txt text2.txt
[01:32] <cordoval_> gives a long file of ++++ and then ------
[01:32] <cordoval_> but they are almost identical
[01:33] <izinucs> cordoval_: spaces.. caps.. punctuation.. etc.. did you look at all that?
[01:33] <cordoval_> not sure I understand you
[01:33] <cordoval_> izinucs, which command
[01:33] <Solved> I was messing around with some of the grub settings, and now it looks awful and is barely legible. Is there anyway to reset grub or even uninstall and then reinstall again?
[01:34]  * markodoom has finally got ubuntu working on his netbook :)
[01:34] <evon> I have a P4 2.0 512 ram with jaunty on it. Is this too slow to play a MKV file?
[01:34] <shcherbak> cordoval_: you can use loop grep and awk to have it done to each word.
[01:34] <izinucs> cordoval_: the diff command.. not sure what you ment by ++++ then ---- .. is that what the output is?
[01:34] <evon> I ask because it's really choppy
[01:35] <leoxagy13> Hi All
[01:35] <Solved> hello
[01:35] <cordoval_> hi all, I meant to say that when I do a diff it is a long file that comes out
[01:35] <Solved> I was messing around with some of the grub settings, and now it looks awful and is barely legible. Is there anyway to reset grub or even uninstall and then reinstall again?
[01:35] <cordoval_> i want to realize just the small difference that it is there
[01:35] <cordoval_> I just did 1 change
[01:35] <shcherbak> Solved: try to search for grub(2) reinstalation (can be done fron live cd)

[01:35] <leoxagy13> I'm on ubuntu 10.04, where can I put a simple script that will run at boot up
[01:36] <leoxagy13> ?
[01:36] <bombshell> Natty is the next release?
[01:36] <izinucs> cordoval_: check out "man diff" for switches that will ignore caps, spaces, white space etc.
[01:36] <cordoval_> oh!
[01:36] <leoxagy13> how can I do that ?
[01:36] <cordoval_> izinucs thanks
[01:36] <maco> wasutton3-Kira: pipe it to this...        | awk --field-separator="" '{ print $1 }'
[01:36] <izinucs> cordoval_: np
[01:36] <maco> bombshell: yes

[01:38] <gary_inNYC> leoxagy13: go to system\preferences\startup applications.  just add a link to your script there
[01:38] <shcherbak> leoxagy13: I prefer cron
[01:39] <markodoom> having finally got ubuntu 10.10 netbook version installed and is now updating, while I wait, are there any probs with the wireless hardware on a samsung n220?
[01:39] <leoxagy13> shcherbak: what is cron ?
[01:39] <The_Tick> it's a daemon that runs scheduled tasks basically
[01:40] <Jordan_U> Solved:  sudo apt-get install --reinstall --purge grub-pc grub-common
[01:40] <shcherbak> leoxagy13: it let you run job/commands on time basis
[01:40] <izinucs> markodoom: oh yea.. it's horrible.. nothing but issues... no really.. you'll have to wait and see how it reacts. without knowing what the chipset is nobody can tell.
[01:40] <leoxagy13> well, I need that the scrip runs before loggin in
[01:40] <gary_inNYC> can anyone help me put my webcam to work in skype?  i'm using an old phillips webcam with v4l2 input and x11/xv output
[01:40] <shcherbak> leoxagy13: man cron
[01:41] <blackplague1347> izinucs: Okay, I just confirmed that my Ubuntu spinoff has the open source edition of VirtualBox. The non-OSE version should run my game?
[01:41] <markodoom> fingers crossed then izinucs
[01:41] <The_Tick> leoxagy13: on startup?
[01:41] <wasutton3-Kira> maco i get an error with --field-separator
[01:41] <The_Tick> leoxagy13: because cron isn't for startup tasks
[01:41] <smt> put your Script into /etc/init.d
[01:41] <The_Tick> the at daemon is for that
[01:41] <izinucs> blackplague1347: no idea.. just a thought.. you can uninstall the ose version and install the other.. the vm will still be there.
[01:41] <gary_inNYC> my webcam works, but is not being detected in skype at all
[01:41] <maco> wasutton3-Kira: what error?
[01:42] <wasutton3-Kira> maco : awk: not an option: --field-seperator=
[01:42] <leoxagy13> yes, on startup
[01:42] <shomon> hi sorry but this question got answered but scrolled out of my xchat buffer :(
[01:42] <leoxagy13>
[01:42] <leoxagy13> The_Tick: yes, on startup
[01:42] <maco> wasutton3-Kira: separator has 1 e and 2 a's
[01:42] <shomon> how do I get audio running on an hp g62?
[01:42] <izinucs> blackplague1347: make sure you go to settings and tic the boxes for 2d & 3d
[01:42] <The_Tick> leoxagy13: look for information about the at daemon
[01:42] <wasutton3-Kira> maco: i copied that in and got the same error
[01:42] <shomon> running ubuntu 10.10
[01:43] <leoxagy13> "put your Script into /etc/init.d" I have the script there already
[01:43] <leoxagy13> it's not working
[01:43] <leoxagy13> the script recieves start as a parametter
[01:43] <maco> wasutton3-Kira: this time with separator spelled right it still errored?
[01:44] <wasutton3-Kira> maco: yes
[01:44] <leoxagy13> it works great manualy, but not on startup
[01:44] <maco> wasutton3-Kira: if you "man awk" it says it's gawk, right?
[01:44] <wasutton3-Kira> maco: no it says mawk
[01:44] <maco> wasutton3-Kira: ahhh
[01:45] <maco> wasutton3-Kira: try -F ""     instead of --field-separator=""
[01:45] <leoxagy13> smt: it's on startup already
[01:45] <smt> is root owner of your script?
[01:45] <lucas-arg> trying to recordmydesktop with nvidia 260 drivers i see pixels in the video... tried to find an answer googlin but didnt fin one, any idea how to solve this?
[01:46] <wasutton3-Kira> maco: "tail --lines=1 test | awk -F="" '{ print $1 }'" this command spits out the entire last line, instead of the first letter of the last line, which is what i want
[01:46] <maco> wasutton3-Kira: ok lemme play
[01:47] <wasutton3-Kira> maco: ok thank you
[01:47] <shcherbak> wasutton3-Kira: "tail --lines=1 test | awk -F " " '{ print $1 }'"
[01:48] <maco> shcherbak: thatd split on spaces
[01:48] <shcherbak> wasutton3-Kira: "tail --lines=1 test | awk -F "<your separator>" '{ print $1 }'"
[01:48] <maco> wasutton3-Kira: i wonder if this is a bug. the mawk manpage says if its an empty string itll spit on individual characters
[01:48] <blackplague1347> izinucs: Guess that's what I'll do. Except I may use something than an Ubuntu spinoff, that way I have some idea of which version to get. I'm not sure if this is based off of 10.10 or 10.04, each of which has a specific VirtualBox version.
[01:48] <wasutton3-Kira> maco: Hmmm
[01:48] <maco> shcherbak, wasutton3-Kira:  If FS = "", then mawk breaks the record into individual characters, and, similarly, split(s,A,"") places the individual characters of s into A.
[01:48] <markodoom> hmmmm, any tips for solving wireless not connecting?
[01:48] <wasutton3-Kira> hmmm
[01:49] <maco> wasutton3-Kira: try installing gawk and using the gawk command instead of the awk command?  (right now awk is just pointing to /etc/alternatives/awk which points to mawk)
[01:49] <wasutton3-Kira> ok
[01:50] <wasutton3-Kira> maco: nope same result with "tail --lines=1 test | gawk -F="" '{ print $1 }'"
[01:50] <izinucs> blackplague1347: what are you running?
[01:50] <shcherbak> wasutton3-Kira: what do you want to do? and what how is formated file?
[01:50] <maco> wasutton3-Kira: wait remove that =
[01:51] <blackplague1347> UberStudent 1.0 Cicero.
[01:51] <maco> wasutton3-Kira: its trying to use = as the field separator because you put -F=
[01:51] <wasutton3-Kira> maco : yep that did it
[01:51] <blackplague1347> izinucs,  I've been distro-hopping for a couple months, so I have plenty of others I could use instead, however.
[01:51] <wasutton3-Kira> its going to be a file checkout for an attempt at a multiparallel pi calculation
[01:52] <izinucs> blackplague1347: wow.. never heard of that one.. how'd you end up on that.. and why avoid a standard ubuntu install?
[01:52] <mcnellis> How much space does a typical Ubuntu server installation take?
[01:52] <blackplague1347> izinucs, the only thing is that I need a java browser plugin in order to access my school's internet.
[01:53] <Habstinat> ridin and Jordan_U: Was able to boot a different CD I burned on my Mac on a different computer, so the CD isn't the issue. Now comes the moment of truth I suppose...
[01:53] <izinucs> blackplague1347: that's available.. try ubuntu in a vm and see if it works after installing sun-java6-jre
[01:53] <maco> mcnellis: there are 4GB in use on my server
[01:53] <blackplague1347> izinucs: Yeah it's fairly new. I look at DistroWatch pretty often, so every now and then something interesting like that comes up. The main reason for avoiding standard Ubuntu was because last time I tried to install it, it would neither detect wireless connections, nor run java out of the box.
[01:54] <blackplague1347> izinucs: Well, Java shouldn't be much of an issue at this point because I downloaded the .deb and RPM from the java website onto my external hard drive. It's there if I need to install it.
[01:54] <izinucs> blackplague1347: right.. wireless is one issue.. java another.. java you have to install but it is in the repos
[01:55] <mcnellis> maco: that's not a bare install though, is it?
[01:55] <shcherbak> mcnellis: 300mb
[01:55] <blackplague1347> izinucs: Yeah. I can install it from the terminal with my external hard drive if need be, then get the latest version from the repos.
[01:56] <mcnellis> shcherbak: Sounds more likely... you sure it's that low though? I guess b/c it's server?
[01:56] <shcherbak> mcnellis: and could be less (perl)
[01:57] <s093294> wheres a good place to get help with iptables?
[01:57] <shcherbak> mcnellis: there is alternate iso so it is easy to start
[01:57] <shcherbak> !alternate

[01:59] <Castbound> guys I have a red exclamation sign in my network icon after configuring an additional router as switch
[01:59] <bojangles> is unison the way to go for two-way file syncronization? i've played around with that and rsync a bit but wasn't sure what people who know what they're doing use (or find easiest for someone new to linux) thanks...
[02:00] <tecnico> bojangles: you can look at dirsync pro (on sf.net) it's nice and easy for new people too
[02:01] <jrib> bojangles: i keep my desktop and laptop in sync with unison, yes
[02:01] <bojangles> tecnico: thanks i'll check it out, is that gui-based?
[02:01] <tecnico> yes
[02:01] <bojangles> jrib: just over a local network or something?
[02:01] <tecnico> bojangles: http://www.dirsyncpro.org/screen-shots.html
[02:02] <jrib> bojangles: sometimes over local network, sometimes over ssh
[02:02] <bojangles> tecnico: thanks
[02:03] <Castbound> guys I have a red exclamation sign in my network icon after configuring an additional router as switch - I was checking the forum and didn't find anything, and indeed the exclamation mark is anoying
[02:03] <plainas> does the server version comes with apache, and such stuff installed or just the barebones?
[02:03] <bojangles> jrib: okay, this is dumb, but is it a pain if you don't have a static ip address? (do you have to change the ssh command?)
[02:04] <jrib> bojangles: yeah, that's probably a pain.  You should use something like dyndns (that's what I do)
[02:04] <shcherbak> bojangles: with dynamic internet Ip you can use dyndns
[02:04] <jrib> plainas: you're given the option at install
[02:04] <theholder> Hi I am running Ubuntu 10.04 on a Compaq Evo N1015v and now and then it goes to a blank screen with a flashing caps lock light
[02:04] <mcnellis> does Linux support blu ray players?
[02:04] <bojangles> jrib: okay, and that redirects a host name to the new IP or something?
[02:04] <Castbound> just tell me no one knows how to remove  the exclamation mark and I'll go away
[02:05] <plainas> isn't there a smaller iso?
[02:05] <jrib> bojangles: you can get something like bojangles.dyndns.org and then just run ddclient (it's in the repositories) on your computer.  That will keep bojangles.dyndns.org always pointing to your computer
[02:05] <jrib> plainas: there is...

[02:07] <earthmeLon> I am unable to mount to a server using SSHFS and Public Key Authentication.  I currently have it set up for a number of server (and it works) but this server keeps disconnecting me.  The logs show it starts my session and then closes my session.  No errors.  The client says "connection reset by peer"  Any suggestions?
[02:08] <earthmeLon> SSH for the server using public key works perfectly.  It's just sshfs that's acting bonkers
[02:09] <zetheroo1> ubuntu installed on one of my laptops here seems to sync the time to the wrong zone via the Internet ... how do I change it to where I am?

[02:11] <Castbound> what's your time zone?
[02:11] <zetheroo1> Sydney
[02:11] <tecnico> earthmeLon: just a very long shot.. make sure that your non-interactive shell login is not outputing anything to stdout.  That'll make stuff like scp and rsync fail too.  Most likely something echoed from your .bashrc or .tcshrc or .cshrc
[02:11] <zetheroo1> and it's connecting to Adelaide which is 30min different

There's no mouse or keyboard input working, and the only option is to hard reboot. Anyone have any ideas what could be causing this? I've had this setup since 10.04 came out, but this just started about a month ago.

[02:25] <antihc3> Anyone know if it is possable to restrict screen resolution when loading cd installer
[02:25] <tecnico> earthmeLon: but I thought you said that ssh'ing into the machine worked fine.  Just that sshfs didn't   so the only difference is that one is interactive and the other is not.  The output on stdout on a non-interactive login craps out rsync, scp and other programs that  don't expect output
[02:26] <earthmeLon> Well, when I changed the sshd_config file to the centos, it stopped printint out this weird message whenever I did ssh in successfully
[02:26] <earthmeLon> which was probably what you were talking about with the extra output

[02:28] <antihc3> Cyrano_De, I tryied vga=791 but screen detection on load is as far as i get
[02:28] <nits> pressing F11 is taking the terminal to full screen
[02:28] <nits> Cyrano_De: Pressing F11 is taking the terminal to full screen
[02:29] <Guest5192> http://paste.ubuntu.com/533322/ PLEASE HELP ME SOLVE THESE ERRORS
[02:30] <B}Ronald_Reagan> How do you boot mac from a usb stick? Booting with c held down doesnt work, nor does option, nor does choosing a boot volume in the system prefs.
[02:30] <antihc3> B}Ronald_Reagan, Hold the option key it will show aval. boot devices
[02:31] <WXZ> libglib2.0-0 (=2.24.0-0ubuntu4) but 2.24.1-0ubuntu1 is to be installed, how do I fix this?
[02:31] <rebirth> i'm trying to build a program with cmake but i'm getting the error "CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindQt4.cmake:754 (MESSAGE):
[02:31] <rebirth>   Could NOT find QtCore header"
[02:31] <B}Ronald_Reagan> Yea, didn't show the stick.
[02:31] <antihc3> B}Ronald_Reagan, if Option does not work then sounds like the device may not be bootable or usb port is not working
[02:31] <B}Ronald_Reagan> ok, you confirmed my fears :)
[02:32] <antihc3> B}Ronald_Reagan, you can also look in System pref
[02:32] <izinucs> bojangles: you typically can list new dns server in your router
[02:32] <antihc3> B}Ronald_Reagan, ok helps if i read the full line sorry
[02:32] <B}Ronald_Reagan> haha, yep. Just about to quote myself ;)
[02:33] <B}Ronald_Reagan> I'll just burn a disk :P
[02:33] <mcurran> anyone have any suggestions for a USB that was not removed correctly from a Winblows XP laptop and now will not mount but is listed in lsusb.  I've tried almost everything - ntfs -3g force, fdisk, modprobe usb_storage, etc. (device pops up in windows, and nautilus, but cannot open - WONT MOUNT!!!)
[02:33] <bojangles> izinucs: okay, so i wouldnt' have to install anything additional in ubuntu?
[02:33] <izinucs> bojangles: nope.. are you trying to use opendns servers?
[02:33] <Diamondcite> mcurran: Does it say something like wrong file system?
[02:33] <B}Ronald_Reagan> Thanks :D
[02:34] <nits> the menu bar that has file, edit and stuff for terminal and nautilus and stuff is now in the indicator applet. How do i restore it to org state?
[02:34] <bojangles> izinucs: i'm not sure what that is to be honest, i just want to be able to connect to my home computer from school
[02:34] <antihc3> B}Ronald_Reagan, also note what you have on the boot media.  I once tryed to boot my Mac to an AMD64 Disk that would only Kernel panic. (forgot it was AMD_64bit)
[02:35] <mcurran> no tail just says DIRECT ACCESS or [sdf] attached as SCSI device
[02:35] <izinucs> bojangles: ah.. that's not really dns.. that's ssh typically. You'll need port forwarding on the router to pass the ssh tunnel to the computer in your lan at home.
[02:35] <mcurran> just use dmz host or dns-server
[02:35] <bojangles> izinucs: don't i need dns if it's a dynamic ip address though? (in order to use ssh)
[02:35] <mcurran> yeah, you need static ip
[02:36] <WXZ> libglib2.0-0 (=2.24.0-0ubuntu4) but 2.24.1-0ubuntu1 is to be installed, what does this mean?
[02:36] <mcurran> not really static ip, but listed as static in router settings
[02:36] <Cyrano_De> bojangles: or dynamic DNS.
[02:37] <bojangles> so if i get a dyndns account and set up the router i should be okay? or is port-forwarding an additional step?
[02:37] <axisys> how do I find the rpm of a disk from the os ?
[02:37] <izinucs> bojangles: you can use dyndns.com to set that situation up. in your router there will normally be a place to put the credentials for dyndns.com.. dyndns gives you a web address like izinucs-isa.geek.com which will pass to your routers public ip address .. from there port fowarding handles the rest.
[02:37] <axisys> without taking the disk out of the laptop
[02:38] <Diamondcite> mcurran: Assuming your flashdrive in question is still intact, maybe you can use testdisk to seek out it's partitions and get to it's data.
[02:38] <xjiroo> axisys: you can't.
[02:38] <bojangles> izinucs: okay, is port forwarding tied into the router's dns stuff or is that just a separate setting?
[02:39] <Diamondcite> axisys: Isn't it fairly safe to assume it probably running among the common RPMs such as 5400? (or is it 4200?)
[02:39] <axisys> xjiroo: hmm..
[02:39] <izinucs> bojangles: port forwarding is typically handled in the "gaming" section of routers.. but yes.  It's two different settings in the router.
[02:39] <axisys> Diamondcite: is it actually on my x4150 .. it could 10K or 15K rpm
[02:39] <izinucs> bojangles: gotta run.. like your nick.. Sammy all the way !! :)
[02:39] <mcurran> not listed in testdisk
[02:40] <Diamondcite> axisys: Drives that spin that fast have quite a fast seek time usually... (looks up drives)
[02:40] <mcurran> I should call Microsoft and say you owe me a new USB thumbdrive
[02:40] <Diamondcite> mcurran: Testdisk can't even see the device?
[02:40] <mcurran> no
[02:40] <bojangles> izinucs: ha thanks for the help
[02:40] <WXZ> what does "but x is to be installed" mean?
[02:40] <Diamondcite> mcurran:  Where you writting to it at the time?
[02:40] <mcurran> weird lsusb shows it as a kingston usb but it's a pny attache
[02:41] <mcurran> root
[02:41] <tecnico> axisys: you can look at the model number and lok at the specs on the manuf. site  (use hdparm -i(
[02:41] <Yamagushi> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAhJTxC1C8w
[02:41] <mcurran> I just created one partition - I've tried gparted and many other tools, but none see it
[02:41] <Diamondcite> mcurran: It's the flash chip that counts =P  does the drive generate a /dev/sd* entry atleast?
[02:41] <mcurran> no
[02:41] <tbrock> hey guys, 2 questions, is there a top for users, aka wtop? and what is the best command line github client in ubuntu
[02:42] <Diamondcite> mcurran: (That's why windows is dangerous, but I never heard of an unsafe idle removal doing THAT much damage)
[02:42] <mcurran> yes, this usb was working flawlessly and I've even had it multibooting several distros.  When I set it up as a plain fat partition and was transferring drivers from one XP machine to another is when it got messed up
[02:43] <Diamondcite> axisys: All the latop sata drives I can see for purchase is either 7200 or 5400 RPM.
[02:43] <switch10_> anyone know the name of the "install additional drivers" package???
[02:43] <Diamondcite> mcurran: So it was actively being written to at the time?
[02:43] <Diamondcite> switch10_: jockey-gtk
[02:43] <yagoo> mcurran, what type of fat ?
[02:43] <axisys> Diamondcite: x4150
[02:44] <switch10_> Diamondcite: tk
[02:44] <switch10_> Diamondcite: ty*
[02:44] <tbrock> anyone have any ideas?
[02:44] <yagoo> axisys, what's an x4150 all about?
[02:44] <mcurran> fat16 or 32 not sure, I used windows gay restore device defaults, so probably 16
[02:44] <axisys> yagoo: sun hardware
[02:44] <yagoo> mcnellis, fat16 is restricted to 500 megs
[02:44] <yagoo> mcurran, ^
[02:45] <mcurran> well it was 4 gigs and recognised at the time so must have been 32
[02:45] <yagoo> mcurran, and fat32 is restricted to creating no filesize greater than 4 gigs
[02:45] <Diamondcite> axisys: Server class drives are somewhat harder to track down x.x
[02:45] <mcurran> I'm running bt4r1, so I'm going to try some of these digital forensics tools on them and see if I have any luck
[02:45] <ubuntu4shane> yagoo, are you sure fat32 wasn't 2GB?
[02:45] <yagoo> mcurran, a fat32 can have the filesystem size as 100 gigs.. but filesizes cannot exceed 4 gigs
[02:46] <WXZ> what does "depends * (=*) but * is going to be installed" mean?
[02:46] <mcurran> well it's a little besides the point anyways
[02:46] <yagoo> ubuntu4shane, 64kb can do 4 gigs ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat32#FAT32 )
[02:46] <ubuntu4shane> yagoo, ok, I guess you got the facts! :)  I was thinking otherwise, but you win. :)
[02:47] <yagoo> ubuntu4shane, i can be wrong on somethings.. i'm only human :)
[02:47] <Guest5192> http://paste.ubuntu.com/533322/ PLEASE HELP ME SOLVE THESE ERRORS
[02:47] <ubuntu4shane> WXZ, it means that 1 depends on 2 but  or 3 is going to be installed
[02:47] <Guest5192> nobody is helping
[02:47] <Guest5192> please someone
[02:48] <tecnico> mcurran: I had that happened a couple of times. I yanked the key out and then I couldn't use it on any other machine. Not even on that same windows machine. But turned out I then tried plugging it on another usb port on that windows machine, it opened it, I tried writting to it and the nreleasing it. And it worked ok after that
[02:48] <ubuntu4shane> Guest5192, sudo apt-get -f install
[02:48] <Kesh> Hi all
[02:49] <Kesh> I have a question, but I dont want to bother you all
[02:49] <yagoo> Guest5192, type sudo df
[02:49] <Pici> Kesh: Just ask.
[02:49] <Diamondcite> ubuntu4shane, Guest5192 looks like hal and winbind isn't finshed installing.. were they interrupted? Are you out of disk space?
[02:49] <ubuntu4shane> Guest5192, ignore mine, you have other problems there
[02:49] <Infra`> hey, could yall please help me install a .far file?
[02:49] <Infra`> .jar*
[02:49] <ubuntu4shane> Diamondcite, yes, I just realized that was other issues.
[02:50] <ubuntu4shane> Kesh, fire away, someone will probably have an answer, no trouble that is why we are here.
[02:50] <gksmithlcw> Does anyone know what would be preventing KVM guests from autostarting on server startup?
[02:50] <Guest5192> no
[02:50] <Guest5192> I never tried installing them
[02:50] <mcurran> yeah, I tried putting it in several xp machines, a windows 7 vm, and older gparted iso's - There are others with the same problem showing this in tail [sdf] Attached SCSI removable disk and lsusb showing USB DISK 30X, but not mounting, I'll just bring it back to BestBuy and say I wan't a new one.
[02:51] <Guest5192> unless a script tried to but I have more than enough disk
[02:51] <ubuntu4shane> Infra`, I'm pretty sure in the terminal you run   java  file.jar
[02:51] <Guest5192> those solutions sadly did nothing btw
[02:51] <Guest5192> =/
[02:51] <Diamondcite> Guest5192: Those are dependcies for other parts of the system, try to install those first?
[02:51]  * gksmithlcw is running libvirt
[02:51] <Kesh> ok.... here it goes:  I have an old laptop, compaq 1200.... it has I think a celeron..... it has Win2000 (originally came with ME) and now I want to replace it with Ubuntu... the question is, should I use the desktop edition or is it lighter to use the Netbook edition?
[02:52] <ubuntu4shane> Infra`, I mean, java -jar file.jar
[02:52] <gksmithlcw> The netbook edition is lighter but the desktop edition should be fine.
[02:52] <Guest5192> could you give me the codes?
[02:52] <Guest5192> command lines*
[02:52] <ubuntu4shane> Kesh, do you know how much ram it has?
[02:52] <Diamondcite> try "sudo apt-get install hal"
[02:52] <joshdreamland> So I updated to Maverick for some reason, it gripes about my CPU being insecure, then drops into tty1
[02:52] <Diamondcite> and see what happens.
[02:52] <Kesh> does the Netbook edition need to be on a real Netbook>
[02:53] <Kesh> dunno, I can check quickly
[02:53] <joshdreamland> Anyone have a great way to fix this, or am I going to have to grope it until it finishes and works
[02:53] <Infra`> ubuntu4shane, Yeah that was the command I thought, it gives me this error. "Unable to access jarfile Mars.jar"
[02:53] <Guest5192> Errors were encountered while processing: hal winbind
[02:53] <Guest5192> when trying to instal hal
[02:53] <yagoo> joshdreamland, you've been reading too many train trips in japan about the groping
[02:53] <banker247> do you have to update your locate command database or does it do it automatically?
[02:53] <ubuntu4shane> Kesh, more than likely the desktop edition of will be fine, if you need something lighter there is Xubuntu
[02:53] <yeats> joshdreamland: the message about the CPU is probably not related to your other problem
[02:53] <joshdreamland> yagoo: Actually, you might have a point there
[02:54] <rabl> my
[02:54] <gksmithlcw> So will there soon be Gubuntu?
[02:54] <Diamondcite> Guest5192: (Too many guest nicks, pick something else with /nick newnamehere), Maybe hal's .deb file needs to be redownloaded =/
[02:54] <ubuntu4shane> Infra`, try this: chmod +x Mars.jar  then try to run it again
[02:54] <Kesh> ok, I will try the Desktop edition,  actually thats the one I have downloaded and burnt to a cd
[02:54] <rabl> ok
[02:54] <Kesh> thanks !
[02:54] <banker247> i moved a file "lead" from ~/Desktop to ~/Documents and when i type locate lead it still shows in ~/Desktop is this accurate?
[02:54] <rabl> thanks
[02:54] <ubuntu4shane> !lubuntu
[02:54] <rabl> i moved afile
[02:54] <ubuntu4shane> !xubuntu
[02:54] <dewqazxc> hi
[02:54] <jcarlin> were do I download it at?
[02:54] <joshdreamland> Well, I have an NVidia card that hasn't gotten along with any release ir distro to date. No nv module is loaded, proprietary or otherwise.
[02:55] <jcarlin> the hal
[02:55] <gksmithlcw> !gubuntu
[02:55] <ubuntu4shane> !question | rabl
[02:55] <gksmithlcw> LOL
[02:55] <Diamondcite> jcarlin: Looking..
[02:55] <jcarlin> kk
[02:55] <rabl> no
[02:55] <rabl> rabl
[02:55] <ubuntu4shane> !hello | dewqazxc
[02:55] <rabl> hello
[02:55] <Infra`> ubuntu4shane, thanks i have it working now. i'm a linux noobie :)
[02:55] <rabl> hi
[02:56] <rabl> ak
[02:56] <rabl> b41
[02:56] <yeats> joshdreamland: Is the message you're seeing this?: "Your CPU appears to be lacking expected security protections."
[02:56] <ubuntu4shane> Infra`, all we did there was made the file executable, has to do with permissions
[02:56] <joshdreamland> yeats: Yep.
[02:56] <gksmithlcw> I take it no one's got anything on my KVM problem?
[02:56] <joshdreamland> yearI assume this NX nonsense wasn't present in previous releases?
[02:56] <Kesh> Another question: is it difficult to configure a wi-fi card?  I have an old one, only has WEP (under win2000).   I just dont want to spend 100 hours reading forums to make it work in Ubuntu.
[02:57] <yeats> joshdreamland: then that's a separate issue from your video issues - that message began in lucid as far as I know
[02:57] <ubuntu4shane> Kesh, my experiences are some work well (many) I haven't ran into bad ones, but I know there are some out there
[02:58] <ubuntu4shane> Kesh, perhaps if you know the brand or chipset, google it and see if linux users have problems with it
[02:58] <Kesh> ok, fair enough... the few forum posts that I have seen look intimidating....
[02:58] <joshdreamland> yeats: I haven't seen it before. But yeah, I'll ignore it. So why's it dropping me into tty1 if all it's telling me is that message?
[02:58] <ubuntu4shane> Kesh, understood, can be very intimidating when jumping in at first.
[02:58] <antihc3> anyone know if ubunut cd support vgacon install and where i can find some docs
[02:58] <Kesh> yes, already found some posts with people using exactly the same card... so I am not alone, thanks anyway
[02:59] <Kesh> this is a fantastic channel btw
[02:59] <yeats> joshdreamland: don't know about that - I just knew that the CPU message was not related :-)
[03:00] <yeats> joshdreamland: hopefully that saves you from chasing a red herring
[03:00] <joshdreamland> haha
[03:00] <joshdreamland> So I'm screwed, essentially.
[03:00] <grant__> Sorry, my Xchat locked up...
[03:00] <Lint01> how to change QT4 font & decorations?
[03:00] <yeats> joshdreamland: probably not - I'm just saying *I* don't know - you might provide more details about it?
[03:00] <Diamondcite> jcarlin aka Guest5192 went poof?
[03:01] <xangua> Lint01: install qt4-qtconfig
[03:01] <Kesh> oh...oh....one final and important question:  I tried running Ubuntu on that laptop, from the CD.. It works but there is a red message that says something like "Base address not set....update your Bios or force something...."... what would that be in general terms?
[03:01] <joshdreamland> I don't know what else to say. Lucid worked fine, I updated via the Update Manager, now Maverick is broken
[03:01] <joshdreamland> Lucid is the only distro that could recover from blacklist.conf not listing agpgart and intel-agp (neither of which are loaded)
[03:02] <yeats> joshdreamland: there are regressions with nVidia cards - I have one, which is why I'm skipping Maverick
[03:02] <ubuntu4shane> Kesh, sounds like your BIOS is outdated and needs updated, oooor, the system time is not set right?  I'm not sure
[03:02] <Lint01> Kesh, i'd ignorethis
[03:02] <Kesh> it was the time then.... I remember the laptop had wrong time....
[03:02] <joshdreamland> dang, they should really put that in bold print
[03:02] <ubuntu4shane> joshdreamland, upgrades are tough, I upgraded, then I ended up wiping and doing a clean install.
[03:02] <Kesh> is that the cause?   (the wrong time is because it was in a box for like a year)
[03:03] <joshdreamland> I'd rather not do that. Think I should wait for someone to fix the NVidia issues?
[03:03] <jcarlin> Diamoncite: anything?
[03:03] <leealis> does anyone know of any music programs that have support for iphone 4.1 os?
[03:03] <ubuntu4shane> Kesh, ahh, probably, especially if you connected to the web, it may have compared and realized it isn't 1960 :)
[03:04] <ubuntu4shane> !nick | kesh
[03:04] <ubuntu4shane> oops
[03:04] <yeats> joshdreamland: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/616023
[03:04] <ubuntu4shane> Kesh, sorry, wrong command to the bot, when talking with someone use their nick as it makes it easier to follow
[03:04] <g_> i'm looking for ideas. i'm using vmware and would like to log network traffic from a windows vm, any ideas?
[03:04] <Kesh> I will proceed with full disk installation :-)   There is nothing to lose...this is a spare old computer
[03:04] <gksmithlcw> All right. Thanks anyway.
[03:05] <_jesse_> ubuntu4shane: it's !who I believe
[03:05] <aeMaeth> No where to go but forward
[03:05] <ish_> hey guys i have a question about flash problems in firefox (ubuntu), where should I ask that?
[03:05] <ubuntu4shane> _jesse_, thanks!
[03:05] <Kesh> well...I couldnt connect to the network, because of the old wifi card   (the router in our house uses wpa)....so there was no comparison...
[03:05] <xangua> ish_: flash sucks in linux, ask adobe¿
[03:05] <ubuntu4shane> ish_, try here, and we will go from there.
[03:06] <ish_> ok i have alot of tabs open with flash, and when I close one tab the flash apps in other windows just dissapear
[03:06] <tecnico> g_: you can match the guest's IP and  set log rules on iptables
[03:07] <Kesh> thanks and good night !
[03:07] <leealis> does anyone know of any music programs that have ios 4.1 supported?
[03:07] <g_> tecnico: ?
[03:07] <joshdreamland> yeats: Thanks much. It says "fix released"... would that have already been in the update repository? I just installed today.
[03:08] <g_> leealis: i think there's a music distro of debian or ubuntu, you could look out for that
[03:08] <leealis> i dont want to install a new distro when i already have this one all set up though
[03:08] <leealis> i know rhythmbox has support for ios 4 just not the 4.1
[03:09] <tecnico> g_: the guest traffic has to be routed through some interface on the host. Just set rules on iptables to match the IP of the guest and LOG ( google iptables and ULOG)
[03:09] <g_> tecnico: ahh i see, thanks!
[03:11] <yeats> joshdreamland: possibly... you're able to update okay, right?
[03:12] <joshdreamland> yeats: yep. I can access all tty layers, too. As if I booted then pressed ctrl-alt-f1
[03:12] <switch10_> what is the package name for the "power button" in the top right corner of a default ubuntu-desktop install?
[03:12] <aL3x> omg ubuntu netbook is sooooo cute
[03:13] <yeats> joshdreamland: hmm, so it's not freezing or anything, it just skips GDM and goes straight to TTY1?
[03:13] <xangua> switch10_: insidator-session
[03:13] <joshdreamland> yeats: Correct.
[03:13] <switch10_> xangua: thanks
[03:13] <joshdreamland> alt-f7 displays some garbage about checking battery state.
[03:13] <yeats> joshdreamland: have you checked the logs for any messages about video?
[03:14] <joshdreamland> yeats: There are thousands.
[03:14] <joshdreamland> I actually just checked or I'd have mentioned it earlier.
[03:15] <leealis> is there any kind of ubuntu software that gives you ultimate power management?
[03:15] <snakesqzns> wooops, I just delted my /etc/at.deny file.  can one you post yours please?
[03:15] <leealis> like how asus has their power2gear crap
[03:15] <joshdreamland> Darn it; nvidia-glx-173 is already current
[03:16] <digitalfiz> so i have this weird issue ive had since 9.10 i was wondering if there is a fix. its not a big deal just annoying. On my desktop my external drives show up and I have to tripple click them to open them double clicking doesnt work but all other icons i can just double click is there a reason or a setting i can change?
[03:16] <aeMaeth> snakesqzns, mine is an empty file
[03:16] <snakesqzns> aeMaeth, thanks.. 10.10?
[03:16] <aeMaeth> snakesqzns, yes
[03:16] <lidewem> jksdjaf
[03:16] <aeMaeth> snakesqzns, woah, no i was wrong
[03:17] <aeMaeth> snakesqzns, sorry about that, i forgot to sudo
[03:17] <tecnico> aeMaeth: on -server's at.deny there are several usernames listed there by default
[03:17] <ubuntu4shane> snakesqzns, http://paste.ubuntu.com/533333/
[03:17] <sexy_> Hey guys, trying to start learning C++,  what compiler do you guys recommend for linux?
[03:17] <antihc3> g++
[03:17] <izinucs> digitalfiz: perhaps the first two clicks mount the drive and the third opens it.
[03:17] <joshdreamland> how do you make grep give line number, again? :P
[03:17] <ubuntu4shane> snakesqzns, tecnico mine didn't have any usernames
[03:18] <sexy_> Also, how the hell do I install tar.gz files?
[03:18] <aeMaeth> snakesqzns, http://pastebin.com/RWhkF7Pu
[03:18] <digitalfiz> izinucs, i thought that but its every time wether the drive is already mounted or not
[03:18] <yeats> joshdreamland: grep -c will count the lines returned, if that's what you mean
[03:18] <ubuntu4shane> !language | sexy_
[03:18] <joshdreamland> I had it find the segment "LoadModule: "nvidia""
[03:18] <snakesqzns> thanks guys
[03:18] <izinucs> digitalfiz: that's definately weird.. sorry I don't have an answer
[03:18] <joshdreamland> yeats: I want the line number in the file
[03:18] <digitalfiz> izinucs, whats even more weird is if i double click then wait a sec then double click again it opens so im not sure what could be going on
[03:18] <joshdreamland> something I could jump to with nano
[03:18] <yeats> ah
[03:18] <ubuntu4shane> sexy_, it is best to install things through synaptic or Ubuntu software center
[03:18] <xangua> !compile | sexy_
[03:19] <Faethin> Hi
[03:19] <antihc3> sexy_, tar.gz is not an installer it is more like a zip in windows terms
[03:19] <joshdreamland> oh right, ctrl-w in nano
[03:19] <joshdreamland> never mind
[03:19] <ubuntu4shane> !hello | faethin
[03:19] <yeats> joshdreamland: grep -n
[03:19] <Faethin> Trying to set up berry4all to use my BB as a wireless modem. Anyone savvy on the subject? :)
[03:19] <joshdreamland> okay, there was no error whatever loading nvidia
[03:20] <ubuntu4shane> joshdreamland, you have nvidia?
[03:20] <Sterist> anyone know what the focus of 11.04 is?
[03:20] <joshdreamland> nothing about this says fail
[03:20] <joshdreamland> ubuntu4shane: yes
[03:20] <ubuntu4shane> joshdreamland, did you upgrade with proprietary drivers?
[03:20] <antihc3> sexy_, you can Extract a tar.gz with tar xzvf file.tar.gz
[03:20] <joshdreamland> ubuntu4shane: I have nvidia-glx-173 installed
[03:21] <Faethin> The question is: There's this thing called the PPPD path which is by default /usr/bin/pppd. However, upon inspection using nautilus, I see that there's no such directory
[03:21] <blakkheim> antihc3: z isn't needed
[03:21] <Faethin> Where is pppd?
[03:21] <sexy_> Ahh I see, thanks
[03:21] <Sterist> i.e. 10.04 = mostly compat, 10.10 = mostly cosmetic, 11.04 = ... ?
[03:21] <ubuntu4shane> joshdreamland, I got dumpped to tty after upgrading with nvidia
[03:21] <sexy_> Also, Im unable to install .exe with Wine..
[03:21] <joshdreamland> ubuntu4shane: How'd you fix it?
[03:21] <ubuntu4shane> joshdreamland, I don't remember now, but I messed around with installing xorg over and drivers or something
[03:22] <carlos> Hi all!!!
[03:22] <joshdreamland> using the livecd, ubuntu4shane
[03:22] <ubuntu4shane> joshdreamland, I don't remember, but I did get it, I had to uninstall and re-install stuff
[03:22] <joshdreamland> s/$/?
[03:22] <antihc3> blakkheim, ahh my bad fingers like the z for some reason when using tar
[03:22] <carlos> Hi have a serious problem
[03:22] <ubuntu4shane> joshdreamland, no, all via command line, I just logged into the tty, and was hardwired, so that wasn't a problem
[03:22] <joshdreamland> ubuntu4shane: Did you do it all form tty, or did you have to use a livecd?
[03:22] <joshdreamland> ah
[03:22] <joshdreamland> lovely
[03:22] <joshdreamland> Did you uninstall and reinstall xorg?
[03:23] <carlos> Hi recently installed ubuntu with vista, have to much trouble so choose ubuntu over vista
[03:23] <ubuntu4shane> joshdreamland, I'm pretty sure, also the nvidia drivers, I don't remember what all I did, but I 'hacked' away and got it
[03:23] <izinucs> joshdreamland: google ppa nvidia-vapau.  in that page is a link to the PPA with the latest driver.. add the ppa as a repo and sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade .. and you should have it installed if you tried to install the driver in System>Admin>hardware drivers.
[03:23] <carlos> now my ubuntu freeze to often
[03:23] <carlos> why is this
[03:23] <joshdreamland> izinucs: thanks, will try
[03:24] <izinucs> polterguist
[03:24] <ubuntu4shane> joshdreamland, I'm about 90% sure it was the xorg-nvidia stuff, I would search, but I"m on my dumb ATI laptop. :)
[03:24]  * antihc3 wonders if installing ubuntu on a HD then putting it into an appletv would work:D
[03:24] <carlos> Hi recently installed ubuntu with vista, have to much trouble so choose ubuntu over vista  now my ubuntu freeze to often why is this????
[03:24] <Faethin> carlos: be more specific
[03:24] <carlos> ok
[03:25] <Faethin> carlos: Do you speak Spanish?
[03:25] <xangua> carlos: ubuntu with vista....do you mean "wubi" ¿¿ try a real install then
[03:25] <ubuntu4shane> antihc3, give it a try and post results somewhere, I have had luck with installing, and then moving hd to different system. :)
[03:25] <sexy_> I installed ubuntu on Win 7 and having no troubles.
[03:25] <sexy_> Ahh also, how can I access my files on Win 7? As I understand it since its on the same partition I dont have to mount anyhting
[03:25] <antihc3> ubuntu4shane, will do.  I have had great luck with ubunut and motherboard changes :D
[03:26] <Zorlin> !usage Zorlin
[03:26] <ubuntu4shane> antihc3, if it blows up, you didn't get that advice from me. :0 :)
[03:27] <Faethin> Excuse me, restating my question: The question is: There's this thing called the PPPD path which is supposedly by default /usr/bin/pppd. However, upon inspection using nautilus, I see that there's no such directory. Where is this pppd thing?
[03:27] <carlos> I have vista then I discovered Ubuntu, but have to much trouble with the dual boot loader so I choose Ubuntu over vista, now 3 of every 5 times Im using the pc the desktop just freeze and I have to turn off the pc with the power botton and some times its freeze in the bios screen in blue
[03:27] <entropy4> sexy_, you installed ubuntu with wubi?
[03:27] <sexy_> yes
[03:27] <joshdreamland> izinucs: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/nvidia-vdpau/ppa/ubuntu-maverick-main?
[03:27] <Faethin> carlos: did you use Wubi?
[03:27] <entropy4> sexy_ i think it mounts the windows partition under /host
[03:27] <carlos> I think so
[03:27] <sexy_> How do I access /host?
[03:27] <ubuntu4shane> carlos that sounds like harddrive issues, or hardware issues, not so much software issues.
[03:28] <carlos> I can check the cd if u want to
[03:28] <izinucs> joshdreamland: hang on.. I'll look.. that like doesn't go anywhere.
[03:28] <sexy_> nvm, got it
[03:28] <ubuntu4shane> carlos, if you don't like ubuntu, you can remove it, and use the space for windows.
[03:28] <Faethin> carlos: does it freeze while on Windows or while on Ubuntu?
[03:28] <ubuntu4shane> I'm off, night all.
[03:28] <carlos> I like to try that too,
[03:29] <carlos> but I removed vista from the pc
[03:29] <izinucs> joshdreamland: here's the direct link https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates
[03:29] <carlos> Vista is no longer in the PC
[03:29] <joshdreamland> izinucs: Thanks much. I just pass that to deb?
[03:29] <Faethin> carlos: what's your computer model?
[03:29] <carlos> Acer
[03:29] <sexy_> Hmm, I cant access Documents and Settings from /host?
[03:30] <izinucs> joshdreamland: there's instruction on how to add that as one of your repositories..
[03:30] <carlos> AX17000
[03:30] <Faethin> carlos: yeah that sounds like a hardware problem
[03:30] <entropy4> sexy_, Documents and Settings on Windows 7 is just a link to the Users folder if i remember correctly
[03:30] <carlos> any idea more specific
[03:30] <Faethin> carlos: does it freeze spontaneously or are you always doing something when it happens?
[03:30] <sexy_> Oh right, my bad
[03:30] <entropy4> if you are trying to find files under your Win77 user profile see /host/Users/your_name
[03:30] <kassah_> is there a way in the netbook interface to add my own applications (installed within homedir)?
[03:31] <carlos> spontaneously
[03:31] <sexy_> Cool, got what I needed. Thanks. Now I need a music player like foobar
[03:31] <izinucs> joshdreamland: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
[03:31] <carlos> Im a computer engi student, and I really need my pc
[03:32] <carlos> Im new in ubuntu
[03:32] <Faethin> carlos: have you just tried reinstalling Ubuntu?
[03:32] <joshdreamland> was just reading. Thank you
[03:32] <carlos> and all unix thing
[03:32] <sexy_> But then Wine doesnt seem to be working so I need something native to linux
[03:32] <carlos> yes
[03:32] <carlos> about 4 times
[03:32] <xangua> sexy_native of what¿
[03:32] <ActionParsnip> !player | sexy_
[03:32] <Faethin> carlos: I'm sorry, but it seems to be a hardware issue :(
[03:33] <carlos> I dont like to sad face
[03:33] <joshdreamland> brb, manually multiplexing internet
[03:33] <Faethin> You could try something. Do you have the system monitor applet?
[03:33] <xangua> !dualboot
[03:33] <xangua> carlos like i said you can try a real install or try the live cd and see if you also have troubles with it
[03:33] <Faethin> carlos: hang on, you did fully install it, right?
[03:33] <Benkinooby> !vmbox
[03:34] <carlos> yes, is taking the entire HD
[03:34] <Faethin> I mean, you loaded up the livecd and installed from there
[03:34] <Faethin> carlos: okay
[03:34] <Habstinat> Here's what I know: My disk reader is broken at startup and I can't boot from a CD, period; my USB reader is only mostly broken because it can't get the official installer right at startup, but it can read the alternate installer until halfway through installing Ubuntu it gives me a fatal error about not having a kernel; and I know that my CD and USB were both burned correctly with Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop (tried alternate installer
[03:34] <Faethin> carlos: well, get the system monitor running
[03:34] <carlos> check
[03:35] <Habstinat> I have a ThinkPad W700ds by the way, if it's an issue among those computers.
[03:35] <Faethin> carlos: and... be sure it also freezes when your computer does
[03:35] <rsyring> Can someone help me figure out why getfacl doesn't show the same group permission that ls -l shows: http://paste.ubuntu.com/533335/
[03:35] <Faethin> carlos: the thing is, it's definitely a hardware problem if even the system monitor ceases to work for no apparent reason
[03:35] <rsyring> ls -l shows that group has rw_ but getfacl shows it has r-x
[03:36] <ActionParsnip> Habstinat: do you check the ISOs you burn before you burn them?
[03:36] <carlos> when its freeze it just freeze, cant do anything move the mouse and I dont have the system monitor open when it does
[03:36] <ActionParsnip> Habstinat: or before you move them to the USB?
[03:37] <Habstinat> ActionParsnip: Yup, they all had the correct MD5 checksums.
[03:37] <ActionParsnip> carlos: have you tried restarting the X server?
[03:37] <carlos> no whats that
[03:37] <ActionParsnip> Habstinat: have you tested your RAM?
[03:37] <joshdreamland_> izinucs: It complains about the key
[03:37] <sexy_> Rhythm Box is importing random files into my library...."MS.CHM...MSDWDS_EN.LEX...dicjp.bin" But it wont import any songs/folders I try
[03:37] <izinucs> joshdreamland_: when you do the update?
[03:37] <joshdreamland> no, when I use apt-add-repository
[03:38] <Habstinat> ActionParsnip: No, how would I go about doing that? I also burned at the slowest possible speed, so no errors there.
[03:38] <swimb> is there a channel for help on building from source?
[03:38] <izinucs> joshdreamland: what's the exact message?
[03:38] <joshdreamland> izinucs: I accidentally cleared it with man >_<
[03:38] <carlos> I will love to fix this, because Im starting lo like this Linux staff
[03:38] <ActionParsnip> sexy_: sounds like you pointed it at the base of an NTFS folder, rather than a folder of media
[03:38] <izinucs> joshdreamland: should still work
[03:38] <xangua> !compile | swimb
[03:39] <sexy_> i individually tried to drag tracks from the folder
[03:39] <joshdreamland> be right back, going to check
[03:39] <swimb> ok thank you
[03:39] <ActionParsnip> Habstinat: its part of the liveCD. When it starts to boot, press SPACEBAR and you can check the RAM
[03:39] <xangua> joshdreamland: if the key is not added when you run sudo add-apt-repository "ppa" mayb the keyserver is down, try later
[03:39] <Faethin> carlos: try using tab-complete to address other users
[03:39] <Faethin> carlos: type in the first few letters of a nick and press tab
[03:39] <carlos> so my best option right now is reinstall everything, and if its persist is a hardware problem
[03:39] <sexy_> My music folder is within my Windows 7 directory, if that changes anything
[03:39] <ActionParsnip> sexy_: as long as its readable, that is enough
[03:40] <d3vi1d06> hello?
[03:40] <ActionParsnip> hi d3vi1d06
[03:40] <Habstinat> ActionParsnip: Doubt that would work. I can't even get my machine to recognize the CD - http://twitpic.com/36yh44/full
[03:40] <d3vi1d06> quick question
[03:40] <Faethin> carlos: I can think of something but it's rather a wild guess
[03:40] <ActionParsnip> Habstinat: its the same on the usb
[03:40] <Faethin> Try turning off the ACPI
[03:40] <carlos> it works
[03:40] <joshdreamland_> izinucs: It's saying it's unchanged this time; I may have mistaken the last message it gave for an error.
[03:40] <sexy_> Yup. I can open them all right, but I cant add to the library. Ehh the sound is disorted too.  Does that mean I'm in the clear?
[03:41] <carlos> the Tab-complete staff
[03:41] <ActionParsnip> d3vi1d06: studio comes with a desktop
[03:41] <d3vi1d06> whats the command for getting a desktop?
[03:41] <carlos> what is the ACPI?
[03:42] <ActionParsnip> d3vi1d06: do you mean server?
[03:42] <izinucs> joshdreamland_: perhaps.. do a sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[03:42] <joshdreamland_> k-o
[03:42] <ActionParsnip> carlos: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Configuration_and_Power_Interface
[03:42] <d3vi1d06> well im in a commandlin interface
[03:42] <joshdreamland_> back when that's done
[03:42] <carlos> OK
[03:42] <d3vi1d06> *command line
[03:42] <ActionParsnip> d3vi1d06: run: startx
[03:42] <IdleOne> d3vi1d06: you want the ubuntu studio desktop?
[03:42] <Faethin> carlos: hang on
[03:42] <Faethin> carlos: I assume you're using Ubuntu 10.10
[03:43] <carlos> yes
[03:43] <MikeChelen> is ksensors gone in maverick?
[03:44] <sexy_> Might the problem be that my music folder is hidden in windows?
[03:44] <Faethin> carlos: on the terminal type sudo gedit /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[03:44] <d3vi1d06> not work
[03:44] <ActionParsnip> sexy_: doesnt matter, linux will still see it
[03:44] <ActionParsnip> sexy_: the hiddenness is a windows construct only, linux ignores those
[03:45] <d3vi1d06> sorry im a complete n00b
[03:45] <IdleOne> d3vi1d06: sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio-desktop
[03:45] <sexy_> Yeah, but i thought that it might alter the file in a way that it gives errors when trying to import them in linux
[03:45] <ActionParsnip> d3vi1d06: ok then run: less /var/log/Xorg.0.log   and read, what errors do you see towards the bottom
[03:45] <carlos> what is that
[03:45] <sexy_> and there is a noticeable audio quality difference o.o
[03:45] <sexy_> My 320 kbs sound worse then youtube videos
[03:46] <Faethin> carlos: it's the boot menu config
[03:46] <WXZ> how do I solve a "depends: * but is not going to be installed"?
[03:46] <d3vi1d06> @idle
[03:46] <carlos> is a file I shouldnt edit
[03:46] <d3vi1d06> @idle that seemed to work
[03:46] <Faethin> carlos: Locate a line that looks something like this: boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-22-generic root=UUID=61e3f741-5cf0-4ffb-875f-de8ca62f914c ro acpi=copy_dsdt  quiet splash
[03:46] <yeats> WXZ: which package are you trying to install?
[03:46] <Faethin> carlos: you're only going to modify it a bit. And if it doesn't work, you can always revert it later.
[03:47] <WXZ> mono-devel
[03:47] <d3vi1d06> wow this linux stuf is amazing
[03:47] <d3vi1d06> i love it
[03:47] <yeats> WXZ: can you paste the full output at http://paste.ubuntu.com/ ?
[03:47] <WXZ> yeats: Depends: mono-2.0-devel but it is not going to be installed
[03:47] <WXZ> that's the full output
[03:47] <d3vi1d06> so much better than windows
[03:47] <ActionParsnip> sexy_: try different settings in the app then, also dont have volume sliders at 100%
[03:48] <MikeChelen> how can you figure out which temperature sensors are what?
[03:48] <yeats> WXZ: okay - so what happens when you try to install that?
[03:48] <WXZ> another depends
[03:48] <ActionParsnip> !sensors | MikeChelen
[03:48] <WXZ> then when I try to install that, another depends
[03:48] <Habstinat> ActionParsnip: So what should I do...?
[03:48] <carlos> found it
[03:48] <WXZ> yeats: libc6 (=2.11.1-0ubuntu7) but 2.11.1-0ubuntu7.2 is to be installed
[03:49] <WXZ> that's where I get stuck
[03:49] <MikeChelen> ActionParsnip: thanks, have those installed already, difficult to interpret the results though
[03:49] <yeats> WXZ: ah... so where did you get this mono-devel?
[03:49] <WXZ> it's in synaptic
[03:49] <Faethin> carlos: okay, add the following at the of the line: "acpi=off"
[03:49] <WXZ> I have main, universe, multiverse
[03:49] <d3vi1d06> well when i installed studio, i forgot to select a desktop to install
[03:49] <yeats> WXZ: 10.10?
[03:49] <Faethin> carlos: without the ""
[03:49] <WXZ> lucid
[03:50] <yeats> ok
[03:50] <carlos> at the very end
[03:50] <Faethin> carlos: yep
[03:50] <yeats> WXZ: have you tried changing mirrors?
[03:50] <d3vi1d06> so when i booted, it booted to terminal
[03:50] <WXZ> you mean for the main repository?
[03:50] <WXZ> (the one that mono-devel is in)
[03:51] <d3vi1d06> thanks guys and gals.
[03:51] <yeats> WXZ: right - System -> Adminstration -> Software Sources
[03:51] <carlos> now save
[03:51] <WXZ> yeats: ok
[03:51] <Faethin> carlos: yes
[03:51] <Faethin> carlos: reboot
[03:51] <Faethin> carlos: BEFORE YOU DO IT though. Have your livecd at hand
[03:51] <carlos> talk to u in a bit
[03:51] <carlos> got it
[03:51] <Faethin> carlos: also, here's the bad news
[03:52] <Faethin> carlos: wait a min
[03:52] <carlos> ok
[03:52] <WXZ> yeats: ?
[03:52] <Habstinat> So does anyone else here know an easyish way to install Ubuntu that doesn't involve flash drives or CDs?
[03:52] <Faethin> carlos: good news, you'll fix the freezing issue
[03:52] <yeats> WXZ: Download From -> Other... - then Select Best Server
[03:52] <sexy_> Habstinat, you can install right from Windows
[03:52] <carlos> but
[03:53] <sexy_> like any other .exe setup
[03:53] <WXZ> yeats; nice
[03:53] <MikeChelen> !wubi | Habstinat
[03:53] <Faethin> carlos: bad news, you'll probably lose some functionalities, like controlling the sound volume. Also, watch out whenever you press the power button.
[03:53] <Faethin> carlos: just give it a try and if it works, let us know
[03:54] <carlos> should I back my files up
[03:54] <sexy_> ahh rhymthbox is trying to import shit from somewhere on its own
[03:54] <Faethin> carlos: well, it's always a good idea to have a back-up, you didn't do anything but turning off some functionalities. The laptop should still work.
[03:55] <Habstinat> sexy_: MikeChelen: I'm on a Wubi'd install right now, but I want to switch to a partition.
[03:55] <carlos> is a desktop
[03:55] <WXZ> yeats: didn't help
[03:55] <Faethin> carlos: well, that
[03:55] <yeats> WXZ: ok - worth a try
[03:55] <Faethin> carlos: I need to leave for a minute. Be right back.
[03:55] <carlos> I dont have a back up of my files at this time
[03:55] <WXZ> it also did the same thing when I tried to run the same deb from launchpad
[03:56] <carlos> should I do it anyway
[03:56] <WXZ> said the same thing*
[03:57] <sexy_> Habstinat, you're going to have to do an isntall off a boot. Whats the problem with CDs or flash drive?
[03:57] <konza> Has anyone used Flex in ubuntu?
[03:58] <sexy_> Habstinat, there is actually another way. It allowed you to boot right into the setup on the next restart. Google.
[03:58] <toshiba_> flex is what
[03:58] <yeats> WXZ: that would be expected if it's exactly the same deb
[03:58] <Guest30374> Hi, Just installed a Qt application and now nautilus is using old x theme rather than GTK. Does anyone know how to resolve this?
[03:58] <Habstinat> sexy_: Extremely long story. Basically my CD reader is definitely broken and with a flash drive I can only get halfway in the alternate installer before I get a fatal error about having no kernel.
[03:58] <WXZ> yeats: so what now?
[03:58] <yeats> WXZ: can you paste the output of 'apt-cache policy libc6' at http://paste.ubuntu.com/ ?
[03:59] <sorak> #fluxbox
[03:59] <sorak> whoops. :P
[03:59] <joshdreamland> darn, arrived just in time to see him leave
[04:00] <sexy_> now rhymthbox wont open. gah...someone recommend me a music player please?
[04:00] <WXZ> yeats: it's actually libc6-dev
[04:00] <WXZ> not libc6
[04:00] <yeats> WXZ: ah.. hold on
[04:00] <joshdreamland> Hi all, I'm actually using sirc via tty2. Someone think they can help me get my nvidia card working with Maverick?

[04:03] <xangua> !anyone | konza
[04:04] <Faethin> carlos: how did it go?
[04:04] <sorak> why the hell are all of my new windows in fluxbox opening iconified?
[04:04] <yeats> WXZ: mine's different: http://paste.ubuntu.com/533343/
[04:05] <yeats> WXZ: though I think that's because I have a couple of different repositories enabled.
[04:05] <WXZ> yeats: I don't really know what that tells me though
[04:05] <WXZ> yeats: what are your extra repos?
[04:06] <joshdreamland> I don't even have a copy+paste in this tty2 shell ;_;
[04:06] <Gambit-> anyone know off hand any mechanism by which I can have two ubuntu boxes, and have a usb device plugged into one show up as a usb device on the other?
[04:06] <sorak> what kind of device, gambit?
[04:07] <Gambit-> sorak, USB 2.0 webcams.
[04:07] <Habstinat> sexy_: How? SBM won't work because it requires a CD. We went over USBs. My computer doesn't have a floppy drive. I don't want to use Wubi. Installing from Linux won't work because it isn't on a partition. Don't have a cable for VMware installation. That only leaves network installation...
[04:07] <Faethin> carlos: you there?
[04:07] <Gambit-> I need to get 5 of them about 200 ft, and I'd like to do it without spending $600.
[04:07] <Gambit-> but if I could slap a PC at the remote end and forward the usb traffic over the network, that might be cheaper than buying two 4 port usb extenders.
[04:08] <joshdreamland> maybe the best thing for me right now is sleep. Ciao guys, thanks for the help.
[04:08] <yeats> WXZ: lucid-security and lucid-updates - you can enable them in Software Sources (Updates Tab) - don't know if that would have anything to do with your issue though
[04:08] <WXZ> yeats: it's worth a shot
[04:09] <carlos> yes
[04:09] <carlos> Im doing some homework
[04:09] <Cyrano_De> Gambit-: www.linux-usb.org/usbnet/
[04:09] <Gambit-> Cyrano_De, I don't think that does what you think it does.
[04:09] <Gambit-> Cyrano_De, I might be wrong about that, though.
[04:10] <carlos> I did not try it yet, Im not loosing any files right, because in case I have to reinstall Ill be screw
[04:10] <WXZ> yeats: succelsior
[04:10] <yeats> WXZ: it worked?
[04:10] <WXZ> yeats: yup
[04:11] <yeats> wow - okay
[04:11] <yeats> ;-)
[04:11] <Gambit-> no, I'm pretty sure it doesn't.
[04:11] <WXZ> I think it included dependencies
[04:11] <WXZ> that weren't in the main repo
[04:12] <Cyrano_De> Gambit-: Sorry you are correct the one I was looking for was http://usbip.sourceforge.net/
[04:12] <yeats> WXZ: cool - well, I'm glad that worked for you
[04:12] <Gambit-> Cyrano_De, interesting!  It looks a bit abandoned, but I wonder how well it's functional.
[04:13] <jgautier> is there anyway to make file names not case sensitive?
[04:14] <yeats> jgautier: 'fraid not ;-)
[04:14] <maco> jgautier: no
[04:14] <jgautier> ok
[04:14] <jgautier> whats the easiest way to convert all files in a directory to lower case
[04:15] <llolcats> hi does anyone know how i can stop wget from tryingto connect to <IP_ADDRESS> insted of the ip address of whatever host its trying to connect to
[04:15] <asdfasdfasdfasdf> hello i have a stupid qestion im using xfce4 and i cant seem to find a way to move my panels elements where i want, for example i cant find a way to move the "show desktop" button to the left, out of its default position.
[04:16] <blackplague1347> Anyone know if it's possible to install into VirtualBox with just and .iso file? I'm getting low on cd's/dvds.
[04:17] <llolcats> isnt that the normal way to do it
[04:17] <asdfasdfasdfasdf> can anyone help me please?
[04:17] <ActionParsnip> blackplague1347: sure, vbox can mount ISOs in virtual cd drives. Make sure you MD5 test the ISO before use
[04:18] <blackplague1347> llolcats, I always burn disc images to a cd or dvd and install it that way.
[04:18] <llolcats> seems like a waste of cds
[04:18] <llolcats> lol
[04:18] <blackplague1347> ActionParsnip, is the virtual cd drive setup process a difficult one? I've never done it.
[04:18] <entropy4> blackplague1347, yes, you can mount the iso in virtualbox... its faster that way too because hdd is faster than optical drive
[04:18] <blackplague1347> llolcats, Basically.
[04:18] <entropy4> you select the iso you want to boot from, it doesnt get any simpler..
[04:18] <llolcats> in linux you can mount a iso file to a dirctory with out any additial software
[04:19] <llolcats> just with the dd and mount commands
 you have to right click and unlock it
[04:19] <asdfasdfasdfasdf> decodedthought, ?
[04:19] <blackplague1347> entropy4: Okay. I'll try that out. Now, perhaps.
[04:19] <asdfasdfasdfasdf> theres no unlock option anywhere
[04:20] <llolcats> I need to find a way to stop wget from trying to connect to <IP_ADDRESS>
[04:21] <yeats> asdfasdfasdfasdf: you might try the #xubuntu channel
[04:22] <yeats> asdfasdfasdfasdf: or #xfce
[04:22] <asdfasdfasdfasdf> yeats, xfce folks are sleeping, trying xubuntu now :D
[04:23] <smartasdan> hello?
[04:23] <yeats> asdfasdfasdfasdf: mostly GNOME folks in here ;-)
[04:23] <asdfasdfasdfasdf> :D
[04:23] <[thor]> !repository
[04:25] <smartasdan> can someone help me with problem in an application, or am I in the wrong room?
[04:25] <yeats> smartasdan: which application?
[04:26] <smartasdan> application is alexandria book collection manager
[04:27] <joeyjones> what would be the best way to upgrade from ubuntu 8.10 to 8.04?
[04:27] <joeyjones> *8.10 to 10.04
[04:27] <Faethin> Guys
[04:27] <Faethin> Espion: is spamming me with porn link
[04:27] <Faethin> *links
[04:27] <IsmAvatar> Same here
[04:28] <carlos> Faethin, hello
[04:28] <Faethin> Got his mask, can anyone ban him or something?
[04:28] <Faethin> carlos: hi
[04:29] <k0d3g3ar> hi
[04:29] <carlos> what was the file we edited, the pc froze and I didnt save it
[04:29] <yeats> joeyjones: there's no direct upgrade path from 8.10 to 10.04 - you'd have to upgrade to 9.04 to 9.10 to 10.04
[04:29] <wasutton3-Kira> is there a way to replace hex values in a file with other values from the command line?
[04:29] <smartasdan> can anyone help with alexandria book collection manager?
[04:29] <yeats> joeyjones: if I were you, I'd back up my data and do a fresh install
[04:29] <Faethin> carlos: so it didn't work? :/
[04:30] <joeyjones> yeats: i'd been avoiding upgrading but it no longer updates :(
[04:30] <carlos> cant tell, I did not save the file and I did not restart the pc my self
[04:30] <IsmAvatar> Hey guys, I've got a fairly straightforward question. I was wondering why Ubuntu shows funky messages at startup, while it's showing the Ubuntu text with the dots on the purple screen.
[04:30] <Faethin> carlos: -_-
[04:30] <yeats> joeyjones: yeah - I saw that 8.10 got removed from the old-releases repos - no idea why
[04:31] <joeyjones> yeats: i wonder how bad progressive updating would be...
[04:31] <Faethin> carlos: sudo gedit /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[04:31] <Faethin> acpi=off
[04:31] <joeyjones> yeats: oh, and the update manager n o longer offers to upgrade me...
[04:31] <joeyjones> *no
[04:31] <yanko> Hey, I can't use my trackpad's multitouch functions (like scrolling with two fingers) like I did on Windows, it's grayed out on the Mouse preferences, what can I do?
[04:33] <smartasdan> yay for random ubuntu restarts!
[04:33] <Volkodav> Hi ! I did exactly how it says in wiki to add splash to grub2 and it did not on 2 machines one being a fresh install
[04:33] <magn3ts> If I have a script that needs root, but I need to do some of it as the regular user... should I laucnh the script with gksudo... .and then do what?? to drop to my regular user?
[04:34] <wmarone> I just noticed that there's an "amd64+mac" iso file, does this mean that it'll boot on EFI-based systems?
[04:34] <jla> My X session has been restarting frequently since I switched up to 10.10. At first I thought it was just using chrome, but I'm getting it launching or accessing menus in kdenlive
[04:34] <jla> My Xorg logs aren't very helpful. I need some other ideas for troubleshooting this.
[04:35] <jla> magn3ts: can you do the non-root stuff first, or run the one root command within the script via sudo.
[04:37] <Ebrahem> Hello, anyone tried to install a driver from http://cateee.net? I found a driver for my wlan usb (dell dwa 126) and plan on installing it on ubuntu 10.10, but not sure how to use a C driver
[04:38] <IsmAvatar> Why does my Ubuntu shows funky messages at startup, while it's showing the Ubuntu text with the dots on the purple screen?
[04:42] <EmpTuo> ....
[04:43] <sandGorgon> is anyone using a kernel with the Mike Galbraith "wonder performance" patch ? is there a ppa ?
[04:43] <magn3ts> sandGorgon, is that the one that was posted on phoronix today?
[04:43] <sandGorgon> magn3ts, yup
[04:43] <magn3ts> sandGorgon, I'd love to know the same thing :)
[04:44] <zsmj_> aa
[04:44] <anoop_> ping me
[04:45] <Volkodav> http://pastie.org/1304696  can someone look maybe I edited it wrong ?
[04:45] <Volkodav> which I doubt...
[04:45] <sexy_> Is there any way to make use of the mouse scroller in ubuntu?
[04:46] <IsmAvatar> sexy_: works just fine for me
[04:46] <carlos> Faethin,  Im back
[04:46] <carlos> it froze againg
[04:46] <carlos> then it was looping in the bios
[04:46] <wasutton3-Kira> how can i edit hex values from the command line?
[04:46] <Faethin> carlos: undo what you did then
[04:46] <Faethin> carlos: I'm sorry to say I can't think of anything else :(
[04:47] <carlos> what was the file again so I can see if the change was done
[04:47] <Faethin> carlos: sudo gedit /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[04:47] <carlos> I didnt save the file so its no your fault
[04:47] <Faethin> carlos: you didn't save it?
[04:47] <Faethin> carlos: so no change was applied?
[04:48] <misteralexander> what command do I use to find out what DRIVERS I already have installed and/or need for otherwise non-functioning devices?
[04:48] <Faethin> carlos: well, anyway, I'm sorry I couldn't be of further help
[04:48] <Faethin> carlos: I have to go now
[04:48] <Faethin> Bye alls!
[04:48] <pigiron> wasutton3-Kira: the "hexedit" command is one way.
[04:48] <llolcats> lsmod
[04:48] <wasutton3-Kira> pigiron: isnt that a gui?
[04:49] <llolcats> misteralexander: use lsmod to see what modules are loaded
[04:49] <wasutton3-Kira> nevermind thought it was something else
[04:49] <misteralexander> llolcats: ah ha.  And I'd do "lsmod | grep "DEVICE" for the device I'm trying to troubleshoot, like "Keyboard" or "Touchpad" . . . yes?
[04:49] <llolcats> mmm
[04:50] <llolcats> well its not that clear
[04:50] <llolcats> coz the usally have wierd name
[04:50] <llolcats> like usb_hid or somthing
[04:50] <llolcats> i think there is a list of the module.o files in lib
[04:51] <misteralexander> llolcats: how do I specifically troubleshoot a laptop keyboard and touchpad under 10.10 that are non-functioning?
[04:51] <llolcats> whtch is a list of all thye avilible drivers
[04:51] <llolcats> or rather kernal modules
[04:52] <llolcats> well that problem is more likly todo with your xorg conf
[04:52] <llolcats> cd /etc/; find | grep  -i xorg
[04:52] <misteralexander> I was under the impression that 10.10 doesn't have a static xorg.conf anymore . . . it's all been moved out of reach of an "Average User".
[04:52] <llolcats> really?
[04:52] <llolcats> nfi
[04:53] <wasutton3-Kira> pigiron: is there a way for me to automate the replacement of values?
[04:53] <llolcats> well that command i put should find it if its still in /etc/ somwhere
[04:53] <misteralexander> yeah, it's gone from 10.04 too.
[04:53] <pigiron> wasutton3-Kira: you could use the "tr" command... but you gotta be careful.
[04:53] <MrAnthrope> I installed StartUp-Manager which says in the Ubuntu Software Center description it can "Change settings for the bootloader and splash screen". The Help button says it accepts .so format for usplash themes.
[04:53] <misteralexander> you CAN have one, and the system will default to it, but by system intsall default . . . it's gone.
[04:54] <MrAnthrope> It does not however explain what to do with the .so file...
[04:54] <MrAnthrope> When I open the program it just has display size and an option to turn on and off boot splash and show text during boot.
[04:54] <Volkodav> I do not see anything wrong in my /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme
[04:55] <llolcats> misteralexander: you will probably need one that is slighly customised to your laptop
[04:55] <faction918> Anyone have experence with forwarding port 80 through ssh?
[04:55] <misteralexander> llolcats: okay . . . urgh . . . I was trying to avoid that.  Thanks!
[04:55] <MrAnthrope> I tried opening the .so file with StartUp-Manager but it says could not find application...
[04:55] <llolcats> misteralexander: i would reccomend searching google for one
[04:56] <Ebrahem> anyone is experienced with ndiswrapper? when I use the xp driver it freezes the entire system (maverick)
[04:56] <llolcats> i have found some really obscure ones
[04:56] <Rgunten> Yar gar gar gar
[04:57] <swim> hey, does anybody know of a good channel where i can find help on lamp???
[04:57] <yitz_> Is there some quick and easy way to set up a run-once-on-boot script?
[04:57] <sexy_> When I save screenshots to desktop, they dont show up o>O
[04:58] <MrAnthrope> Well if no one knows what I'm talking about... does anyone at least know if there's an easy way to preview my boot and splash screens without having to keep restarting my computer?
[04:58] <sexy_> And how can I get rid of the 32GB filesystem icon?
[04:59] <aeMaeth> my audio hardware keeps getting dropped in ubuntu 10.10 on an asus k60i laptop.  in 10.04 when audio failed it would leave the option to disable and reenable the sound hardware, whereas now it just completely forgets it was there in the first place
[05:00] <Volkodav> anybody else has troubles adding/changing splash images in grub2 ?
[05:00] <faction918> MrAnthrope, I never found a way :/
[05:00] <WorkingOnWise> whats a simple way to revert back to gnome if unity does like my pen on my tablet pc?
[05:00] <MrAnthrope> I'm having trouble changing my splash screen but I don't know what grub2 is.
[05:00] <faction918> MrAnthrope, do you know what grub is?
[05:00] <MrAnthrope> Nope. Just installed Linux.
[05:01] <faction918> Grub controlls multiable OS's
[05:01] <faction918> like if you have a dual boot machine...
[05:01] <faction918> is that what your looking for?
[05:01] <MrAnthrope> I have a bunch of files and none of them have worked so far. The only thing that has worked was the thing I downloaded from the Ubuntu Software Center.
[05:02] <faction918> You want to change your splash screens? Like what you see at startup? (MrAnthrope)
[05:02] <ferris_> MrAnthrope what are you trying to do?
[05:02] <Volkodav> even the ones from the package do not work for me on 2 boxes
[05:02] <Volkodav> both 64 bit
[05:02] <MrAnthrope> And it still didn't change that fugly low-res purple lens-flare crap when I go to log in.
[05:02] <MrAnthrope> Yeah what I see at start up. :)
[05:02] <MrAnthrope> That's called the splash screen right?
[05:03] <faction918> that's what i call it, haha. hang on
[05:03] <MrAnthrope> lol
[05:03] <Volkodav> console entries
[05:03] <MrAnthrope> I just want something simple and plain and not purple and fugly and low-res.
[05:03] <MrAnthrope> They really picked a horrible theme for LTS.
[05:03] <MrAnthrope> I almost stopped installing it because it was purple.
[05:04] <MrAnthrope> The first splash screen I tried was incredibly simple. Almost as simple as changing the background.
[05:05] <ferris_> MrAnthrope install Ubuntu Tweaks
[05:05] <MrAnthrope> But these others aren't through that Software Center thing, they're jsut files. And they won't do anything.
[05:05] <Volkodav> Does not work for me
[05:05] <ferris_> you can make the change from it
[05:05] <Volkodav> I pasted /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme
[05:05] <ferris_> very easily
[05:05] <swim> hey, does anybody know where i can find a chan for lamp???
[05:05] <rezolute> its funny when people let something like a splash screen embitter them.
[05:05] <MrAnthrope> What can I say I'm embittered :)
[05:06] <xinen007_> hey
[05:06] <MrAnthrope> Ubuntu Tweaks isn't coming up in my Software Center search, ferris_ .
[05:06] <sexy_> Is there anyway to "refresh" the desktop?
[05:07] <xinen007_> sexy
[05:07] <MrAnthrope> Switch desktops?
[05:07] <sexy_> No
[05:07] <sexy_> My saved screenshots to the desktop arnt showing up
[05:07] <MrAnthrope> Like, switch to a second desktop then switch back. Won't that refresh it?
[05:07] <MrAnthrope> I think there's a hotkey to switch desks but I don't know it.
[05:07] <Volkodav> http://pastie.org/1304721
[05:08] <lucent> I've packaged up a new cd ripping program that uses libcdio backend and has support for sample offsets, ala Exact Audio Copy  ; who wants to rip some CDs and help test it?
[05:08] <Volkodav> the theme is here
[05:08] <ferris_> MrAnthrope... I will paste a link... or you could search http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk
[05:08] <MrAnthrope> lol I'll search the link, thanks.
[05:08] <f3661> join #dellstreak
[05:09] <faction918> MrAnthrope, I left the conversation for a minute so I don't know where you left off; search a thing called plymouth. That is what ubunutu uses to display the screen during boot. This is different, however, form the grub splash (which you should not see unless you dual boot) and different from the logon screen. Here is a reference link: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/quick-tipplymouth-themes-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx.html
[05:10] <sexy_> Mranthrope, nope that isn't working =/
