[06:53] <brobostigon> not bad, and you?
[06:54] <MooDoo> yeah ok now, had a bad head last night, slept from 5:30pm till this morning :S
[06:54] <brobostigon> :(
[07:06] <knightwise> hey MooDoo , brobostigon
[07:06] <brobostigon> morning knightwise
[07:07] <knightwise> Re watched Ghost in the shell last night
[07:07] <knightwise> the original cartoon
[07:08] <knightwise> now I found this on youtube, perfect background music to work with. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aylxPWZOsDo&t=0s
[07:10] <MooDoo> knightwise: i watched the movie [not the cartoon] the other day :)
[07:10] <knightwise> MooDoo: any good ?
[07:16] <MooDoo> knightwise: i liked it, shame i saw all the moany comments about scarlett johanson not being oriental before i watched the film, made no difference to me
[07:17] <knightwise> In the original the main character isn't realy oriental either
[07:17] <knightwise> the main antagonist is a legless armless naked blond eurobimbo
[07:17] <MooDoo> i know, just a shame so many people moaned, it's a bloomin film lol
[07:22] <knightwise> there is also a lot of hubbut about the new star trek discovery captain not being american enough
[07:23] <knightwise> brb
[07:50] <knightwise> Funny , youtube-DL works better on my PC then on  my linux machine.
[07:50] <knightwise> the version in the repository is too old and i can"t update it
[07:50] <knightwise> so i downloaded the version of the web and that works
[07:50] <knightwise> on my windows pc
[07:59] <zmoylan-pi> the versions in most repositories is ancient... you have to make sure it's the latest version i think
[09:19] <MooDoo> well at least it's nearly the weekend :D
[09:31]  * zmoylan-pi notes MooDoo's happiness and inserts thursday2 into the calander to crush their spirit
[09:31] <MooDoo> pah!
[09:33] <zmoylan-pi> adds extra meetings with power point presentations to MooDoo's personal calender for thursday2... without donuts...
[09:34] <zmoylan-pi> and dials the wifi speed back to pre broadband speeds...
[09:42] <MooDoo> zmoylan-pi: i have sky broadband, 9600baud would be a dream compared to that
[09:52]  * zmoylan-pi dusts off my 300baud setting and clicks extra flakiness option
[09:52] <MooDoo> lol
[09:55] <zmoylan-pi> still better than you're used to... :-P
[14:39] <diddledan> I just swapped the fans in my network switch. much silent now
[18:01] <diddledan> bohemian rhapsody never sound so good? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHkuQdnG_oE
[18:03] <zmoylan-pi> freddie mercury is said to have said do what you want his music to the band before he died as long as it's not boring... we may have a violation here... :-P
[18:09] <zmoylan-pi> it's missing even the charm and wit of shatners lucy in the sky with diamonds...
[18:09] <diddledan> wat.. https://www.loveflutter.com/blue
[18:11] <diddledan> billed as safe celebrity dating
[18:12] <zmoylan-pi> and miss out dating twitter trolls.... weres the fun in that?!
[18:16] <diddledan> I'm trying to use firefox more
[18:16] <diddledan> lol @ https://twitter.com/lcamtuf/status/890636911236104192
[18:16] <zmoylan-pi> so you can be super angry when all the good extensions stop working? :-)
[18:55] <diddledan> seagulls
[18:55] <diddledan> I guess it's "Amazingstoke on sea" now
[18:59] <zmoylan-pi> or some nasty weather heading your way...

[21:02] <daftykins> aaaah
[21:02] <daftykins> back from Sark today - http://i.imgur.com/Ouvr9kl.jpg
[21:03] <daftykins> that's the island of Brecqhou where the Barclay brothers built a castle
[21:03] <zmoylan-pi> so... did you bring a stick of rock for everyone in the channel? :-)
[21:03] <diddledan> new keyboards: http://blogs.windows.com/devices/2017/07/27/introducing-new-microsoft-keyboard-brings-windows-hello-windows-10-pc/
[21:03] <daftykins> Guernsey is the flat thing in the distance
[21:03] <daftykins> zmoylan-pi: i'm not sure they even have such things anymore!
[21:03] <diddledan> zmoylan-pi: why are people in the channel?! they'll get wet!
[21:03] <daftykins> the best i saw was a wooden duck called Felix with 'dcuk' written on it
[21:03] <zmoylan-pi> no... sticks... of... rock... ::has to sit down from whooziness::
[21:04] <diddledan> daftykins: a lot of places in the UK still do sticks of rock
[21:04] <zmoylan-pi> yeah, bray near me does them last time i checked... and a lot of sourvineer stores have 'ireland' ones nearby
[21:05] <daftykins> yeah Sark's tourism has taken a bit of a hit since the Barclay brothers are tossers, though
[21:06] <daftykins> they were trying to muscle in on Sark's government, when they didn't get their way they closed every hotel they own there
[21:06] <zmoylan-pi> space for new hotels then...
[21:06] <diddledan> is it sark that still has feudal governance?
[21:06] <daftykins> yep that's the one
[21:07] <daftykins> heh nah it's only a few square miles
[21:07] <daftykins> only 600 permanent population over winter
[21:07] <daftykins> in other news, egg moulds are fun - http://i.imgur.com/OTcpu7P.jpg
[21:09] <zmoylan-pi> hello high cholestrol
[21:09] <daftykins> never met the guy
[21:09] <diddledan> https://i.imgur.com/c7uURDj.jpg
[21:12] <daftykins> lmao
[21:12] <daftykins> that's creepy
[21:14] <zmoylan-pi> something to cheery you up in the mornings
[21:14] <daftykins> this guy appears to be IRCing from a FreePBX box
[21:14] <daftykins> or other asterisk base
[21:14] <diddledan> the name makes sense then. waggott
[21:15] <diddledan> :-p
[21:15]  * diddledan will punish himself later
[21:16] <daftykins> i feel like we need to come and verify these self punishments
[21:16] <daftykins> with all the talk in the tech news, i assume Def Con approacheth... looking forward to some fun?
[21:17]  * zmoylan-pi hands daftykins a horse shaped usb drive he just dropped...
[21:18] <zmoylan-pi> it's just got midi files on it... beware of geeks bearing riffs...
[21:20] <daftykins> oof
[21:20] <daftykins> you've been saving that one, haven't you? :)
[21:21] <zmoylan-pi> no, just made it up...
[21:22] <zmoylan-pi> the alternate would be beware of geeks bearing grifts but you'd probably have to have seen the sting to know what a grift is
[21:23] <daftykins> i might need you to perform an exorcism on me, i was gifted an iPhone and fixed it, today
[21:23]  * zmoylan-pi hands you my holy hammer...
[21:23] <zmoylan-pi> i picked up a samsung j3 phone today at tescos who are offloading them
[21:23] <daftykins> oh really? how cheap?
[21:24] <zmoylan-pi> €130
[21:24] <zmoylan-pi> retailing for €180 elsewhere
[21:24] <daftykins> funkeh
[21:24] <zmoylan-pi> i just want a cheap device that can handle a greater than 32gb card and the j3 does that
[21:30] <zmoylan-pi> so they're emptying their stock to replace with the back to school shiny... that will do me
[21:32] <daftykins> mmm reminds me, best get on selling this cheap laptop i have soon to get in on that back to school crowd
[21:33] <zmoylan-pi> some of sticker on the lid.  'school sucks'
[21:35] <diddledan> makemkv commandline works in a snap package!
[21:36] <daftykins> it's a SNAP!
[21:36] <diddledan> no more worrying about nefarious code!
[21:36] <diddledan> closed sauce sucks
[21:37] <daftykins> isn't the argument against snap that it bundles all outdated libs you have to wait to be repackaged to be safe?
[21:37] <diddledan> how do you play this? https://twitter.com/UrbanOutfitters/status/890687555317846017
[21:38] <daftykins> and then you end up with some package with some weirdos name on it like 'dllewelyn' ;D
[21:38] <zmoylan-pi> they play on normal record player
[21:38] <diddledan> but it's not circulr!
[21:38] <zmoylan-pi> still has circular groove
[21:39] <zmoylan-pi> the player cares not about excess vinyl on edge
[21:39] <daftykins> you can probably make records with those constant width shapes right?
[21:39] <zmoylan-pi> you used to get floppy records on front of magazines too back in the day
[21:39] <daftykins> ah no i'm being an idiot, that'd only have one groove
[21:39] <zmoylan-pi> and in eastern europe people made their own records on x-rays from hospitals
[21:40] <diddledan> we should use wood for LPs
[21:40] <daftykins> for the finest sound
[21:41] <diddledan> "why did that bit go quiet?"


[00:58] <Guest9696> help with the nvidia driver. ubuntu dosnt see my device
[01:00] <seidos> Guest9696, what is your question?
[01:02] <Guest9696> seidos: ive installed the latest nvidia driver and when i start up before the login screen it says no device and gives me options to use preconfigured setup and it works, i also cant access the nvidia control panel
[01:03] <Guest9696> http://pastebin.com/6E3mB96G
[01:07] <seidos> Guest9696, i haven't configured an nvidia card in awhile.  but i think you want "nv" under Driver in xorg.
[01:07] <seidos> let me see what google has to say
[01:07] <seidos> Guest9696, have you seen this howto:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[01:08] <Guest9696> ive searched the forums for an answer for the past few days and none of the things seemed to work
[01:09] <seidos> Guest9696, where did you learn how to install the driver?
[01:10] <Guest9696> using jockey and command line both yealded the same results
[01:10] <seidos> Guest9696, yeah, after successfully installing the binary nvidia driver you should have "nv" under the section "Device" in xorg.conf
[01:11] <Guest9696> its an onboard nvidia g105m in a laptop
[01:11] <seidos> Guest9696, you can try changing it manually in xorg.conf, to see what happens when you boot up.
[01:11] <Guest9696> if thats any help
[01:11] <seidos> Guest9696, here is a sample xorg.conf that someone posted:  http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu-linux/76471-nvidia-xorg-conf.html
[01:11] <Guest9696> i will do that and be back on
[01:12] <seidos> Guest9696, all right, just type my nick when you come back to get my attention
[01:12] <Guest9696> okay
[01:20] <zac_> seidos im back and it still dosnt work
[01:21] <seidos> yeah, i kept reading and apparently it's supposed to be "nvidia" not "nv"
[01:22] <seidos> what exactly isn't working?  is it reverting to vesa mode?
[01:22] <seidos> zac_, ^^
[01:22] <zac_> i dont know really is there more information you need?
[01:22] <seidos> i'm not sure how much help i can be, but i'll keep trying
[01:23] <seidos> well, yeah, because i'm not sure what you should try next.  did you read this completely:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia ?
[01:23] <seidos> that is probably the next step.
[01:23] <zac_> yes i did
[01:23] <seidos> zac_, oh, what nvidia chipset is it?  are you searching on ubuntuforums with information from what shows up in lspci?
[01:23] <zac_> http://ubuntuguide.net/install-nvidia-graphical-driver-in-ubuntu-lucid-10-04 heres another thing i read
[01:24] <seidos> so you're using 10.04?
[01:24] <zac_> yes
[01:24] <zac_> nvidia g105m
[01:25] <zac_> http://pastebin.com/45DnPduK heres lspci
[01:25] <seidos> zac_, have you seen this yet:  http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-990978-p-5.html
[01:26] <seidos> well, maybe this is the problem.  lspci say you have two vga compatible controllers
[01:26] <seidos> might want to check sudo lshw to see what modules are being loaded?  if there is a module loaded for the intel vga controller you can remove it using sudo rmmod module-name
[01:27] <seidos> zac_, ^^
[01:29] <zac_> okay ill show you the pastebins
[01:29] <zac_> http://pastebin.com/2qmdnzcj
[01:29] <zac_> seidos
[01:29] <seidos> reading
[01:29] <zac_> ok
[01:30] <seidos> do lsmod | grep nvidia
[01:30] <seidos> zac_, ^^
[01:30] <zac_> okay
[01:30] <seidos> it says unclaimed for the intel controller.  i think that's good.
[01:31] <zac_> nvidia              10832442  0
[01:31] <zac_> thats what i get
[01:32] <seidos> i don't know.  i'm comparing it to my lsmod for intel_agp and there is more info
[01:32] <seidos> oh, try lsmod | grep nv
[01:32] <seidos> did you change xorg.conf back to nvidia?
[01:32] <seidos> you must have, since nvidia is showing up in lshw
[01:33] <zac_> nvidia              10832442  0
[01:33] <zac_> yes i did
[01:33] <seidos> zac_, all right, let's go back.  what is the problem?  it looks like the nvidia driver is loaded.  maybe it doesn't work with the g105m...
[01:34] <zac_> also every time i start up i have to edit the grub to nomodeset instead of quiet splash for it to even boot to the login screen
[01:34] <seidos> are you unable to enable compiz?  or is the resolution low?
[01:34] <zac_> i checked the nvidia website it does
[01:34] <zac_> the resolution is fine...whats compiz?
[01:35] <seidos> compiz is the program for 3d effects
[01:35] <seidos> system -> preferences -> appearance -> desktop effects
[01:35] <seidos> zac_, never heard of the nomodeset issue you are having.
[01:37] <seidos> zac_, what laptop do you have?  i don't think you said
[01:38] <zac_> the asus ux50 v
[01:38] <zac_> when i tried compiz it gave me this
[01:38] <zac_> Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":1.0".
[01:38] <zac_> Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":1.0".
[01:38] <zac_> Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":1.0".
[01:38] <zac_> compiz (core) - Fatal: glXCreateContext failed
[01:38] <zac_> compiz (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0
[01:38] <zac_> compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :1.0
[01:39] <seidos> huh
[01:39] <seidos> the only other thing i can think of is that you need a different version of the nvidia module.
[01:39] <seidos> i mean, the module is loaded.  why it isn't working is a different story.
[01:39] <seidos> zac_, ^^
[01:39] <mush53> hello does anyone work with eclipse here?
[01:40] <seidos> zac_, you might want to check on the forums for asus ux50 v
[01:40] <zac_> yeah it says that theres a bug with laptop nvidia graphics cards
[01:40] <seidos> zac_, on launchpad?
[01:40] <zac_> yeah
[01:40] <zac_> maybe itll be fixed with maverick?
[01:41] <seidos> zac_, oh.  not sure.
[01:41] <zac_> it also says something about Nouveau being a fix but i have no idea how to configure it
[01:41] <seidos> zac_, what is nouveau?  a method for installing the nvidia binary driver?
[01:42] <zac_> or blacklisting vga16fb
[01:42] <zac_> nouveau
[01:42] <zac_> rivafb
[01:42] <zac_> nvidiafb
[01:42] <zac_> rivatv
[01:42] <zac_> nouveau is an open source alternative to the closed source nvidia driver
[01:43] <seidos> and nouveau is different from nv?
[01:44] <zac_> so ive read...
[01:44] <seidos> zac_, and you tried blacklisting vga16fb, nouveau, rivafb, nvidiafb, rivatv?
[01:45] <seidos> you can check to see if any of those modules are loaded using lsmod | grep module-name
[01:45] <zac_> yeah it works but i still cant change my display settings
[01:46] <seidos> zac_, what display settings do you want to change on your laptop?
[01:46] <zac_> seidos
[01:49] <seidos> zac_, well compiz isn't working either.  that's obviously a sign something isn't working with the nvidia module
[01:50] <zac_> i have no idea what to do next
[01:50] <zac_> maybe call nvidia or asus
[01:50] <seidos> zac_, seen this thread:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1194965&highlight=nvidia+driver+resolution
[01:51] <seidos> a phone call might help, assuming they support linux O_o
[01:51] <zac_> yeah lets hope
[01:52] <seidos> well, if you just bought the laptop, and you really want to use ubuntu, you might return it an ubuntu certified/ready laptop, or one that is known to work with ubuntu
[01:53] <seidos> zac_, ^^
[01:53] <zac_> no its been awhile
[01:53] <seidos> oh, ok
[01:53] <zac_> so im stuck till a fix comes out
[01:53] <zac_> or maverick fixes it hopefully
[01:54] <seidos> well, you can try to explore finding a solution yourself.
[01:54] <seidos> i mean, what are the developers going to do?
[01:55] <seidos> zac_, maybe use the open source driver, the closed source binary driver is dependent on nvidia to fix...asumming the problem with with the binary driver.
[01:55] <zac_> yeah but im a linux noob and ive spent days on this and still no fix
[01:55] <seidos> i don't know what the difference is between nv and nouveau.  or if the open source driver support desktop effects.
[01:55] <seidos> zac_, there there
[01:55] <seidos> *pat* *pat*
[01:55] <zac_> thanks for your time though
[01:56] <seidos> zac_, i would explore the open source driver at this point.  come back and let me know how it goes.
[01:56] <zac_> ill try to fix this till my fingers fall off. i hate windows that much
[01:56] <zac_> okay i will
[01:56] <seidos> i know the feeling, i had trouble with this laptop.  power management was a nightmare.
[01:57] <seidos> the driver for the integrated intel graphics is much better now though.
[01:57] <zac_> how long did that take?
[01:57] <zac_> to figure out
[02:33] <snipe> is this the right place for ubunut newbie?
[02:34] <seidos> snipe, it is the right place for beginners :)
[02:34] <snipe> i'm a long time windows user, knows nothing about ubuntu yet
[02:36] <seidos> snipe, well, good luck using ubuntu.  if you have questions ask in here, and if you want to chat with ubuntu users you might want to check out #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:37] <snipe> only question i have so far  ... i tried to install a program through wine that uses netframe work, it starts to run the install and hangs after it says it's installing net . is there something else i need to do first?
[02:38] <seidos> snipe, i don't know.  you might want to check out http://appdb.winehq.org to see if they have anything on the app you are trying to run
[02:38] <snipe> the program is curse client , it's an add on programm for WOW
[02:38] <snipe> ok thanks
[02:39] <geirha> Isn't that just a collection of lua scripts?
[02:40] <snipe> i really dont know anything about scripts .. just puts add ons in world of warcraft game
[02:41] <snipe> the game alone plays great in ubuntu but i haven't figured the add ons out yet
[02:43] <geirha> The dotnet framework probably doesn't work well with wine, though I'm not sure.
[02:44] <snipe> ok , there maybe another way to get the add ons in ubuntu but i'll check the wine site first
[02:45] <snipe> maybe i can copy the add on folder from my windows install and put it in the wine install ?

[03:16] <Mohan_chml> stlsaint: you tried it by keeping it in bash?
[03:16] <Mohan_chml> or ans sbin/bash?
[03:20] <stlsaint> TomL: sup
[03:21] <TomL> stlsaint, trying to do some research before I ask stupid questions.
[03:22] <stlsaint> only stupid questions are the ones not asked... ;)
[03:22] <TomL> LOL....
[03:23] <TomL> stlsaint, I still have the same two questions.  Why would I want to long into a shell other than /bin/bash and where can I find a chart showing the different colors for file types in bash.
[03:23] <stlsaint> TomL: you can set the colors you want, have you taken a gander at your bashrc
[03:24] <geirha> TomL: bash doesn't color files, but ls does.
[03:25] <geirha> TomL: dircolors -p > dircolors.txt
[03:25] <geirha> That'll show you the defaults. The mapping from numbers to colors you can find at
[03:25] <TomL> stlsaint, Yes, I am aware that I can set the colors that I want.  Found many, many websites explaing that process.  But nothing telling me what the default colors are.  I opened the file that sets those defaults and see the codes, but I will have to manually decifer each file type and color from the color number.
[03:26] <geirha> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code
[03:28] <phillw> zkriesse you have mail
[03:29] <stlsaint> Mohan_chml: strange, i was able to start install on centOS but not ubuntu :\
[03:30] <Mohan_chml> stlsaint: check for the corresponding packages to be installed for it. Better google that issue finding needed packages
[03:31] <stlsaint> yea but even in my main OS install i couldnt run the script
[03:32] <Mohan_chml> :o
[03:32] <Mohan_chml> Two Zachs here??
[03:34] <geirha> TomL: dircolors -p | sed 's/.*\([0-9][0-9];[0-9][0-9]\).*/'$'\e''[\1m&'$'\e''[0m/'
[03:35] <geirha> Yes, it's cryptic, but it should help you half way. :)
[03:35] <TomL> geirha, Yes.  Cryptic.  What should I do with it?
[03:35] <TomL> Oh...  It is a BASH command, right?
[03:36] <geirha> You run it in a terminal. It will color the lines by the color code on each line (if any)
[03:37] <geirha> dircolors -p > ~/mydircolors # then edit that file to your liking, and check underways with   sed 's/.*\([0-9][0-9];[0-9][0-9]\).*/'$'\e''[\1m&'$'\e''[0m/' ~/mydircolors
[03:39] <geirha> Once you are satisfied, rename it to ~/.dircolors   next time you open a terminal, ls should use the new colors.
[03:41] <TomL> geirha, Best I have seen so far, but still a lot of work for me to put it into a nice chart format.  Still, thanks for your help.
[03:49] <geirha> It didn't catch the ones with three numbers. This one should: sed 's/^[^ ]* \([0-9;]*\).*/'$'\e''[\1m&'$'\e''[0m/'
[04:36] <stlsaint> hey folks anybody know why mysql wouldnt be in /etc/init.d on 10.04 after i install mysql-client?
[04:38] <Mohan_chml> stlsaint: I think it cannot be invoked at startup. phillw Question on your side ^
[04:38] <Mohan_chml> phillw: there?
[04:38] <aveilleux> stlsaint: I didn't think sql was a system process
[04:39] <stlsaint> heck i dunno
[04:39] <phillw> Mohan_chml: I'm here
[04:39] <stlsaint> aveilleux: so how do i start it?
[04:39] <Mohan_chml> phillw: look at saint's question
[04:39] <aveilleux> stlsaint: I didn't think it worked that way... It's a database application, it runs on demand
[04:40] <Mohan_chml> +1 aveilleux
[04:40] <phillw> give me a minutes, I've just been dragged accross 5 chat areas in the last few minutes,  my poor brain is playing catch up !!!!
[04:40] <stlsaint> aveilleux: no, in the past i have been able to control it with /etc/init.d/mysql(d) start/stop/restart
[04:40] <Mohan_chml> phillw: lol okies :P
[04:41] <Mohan_chml> stlsaint: you used LAMPP??
[04:42] <phillw> stlsaint: did you you install LAMP as per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP or did you use an outdated set of instructions?
[04:47] <phillw> stlsaint: sorry, my bad.... https://wiki.edubuntu.org/phillw/draft is the most up to date set I have written
[05:21] <sabqat9> just updated ubuntu - now my wired/wireless network card does not work - i am using a dell inspiron 1521 - system worked fine before update
[05:21] <sabqat9> can't get any internet connection started
[05:23] <seidos> sabqat9, can you ping the local gateway?
[05:23] <seidos> sabqat9, have you tried ifconfig?
[05:26] <sabqat9> sorry but i am new to linux - what are you suggesting
[05:26] <seidos> !tab | sabqat9
[05:26] <ubot2> sabqat9: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.
[05:27] <seidos> sabqat9, typing "ifconfig" in a terminal will give you a list of recognized network devices.  you can also type sudo lshw to see if there is a module loaded for your network devices.
[05:31] <sabqat9> i typed ifconfig - split second window appeared - nothing happened - typed sudo lshw - same thing same result
[05:32] <aveilleux> sabqat9: Where are you typing these? Into Terminal?
[05:33] <seidos> sabqat9, applications -> accessories -> terminal?
[05:40] <sabqat9> sorry - i did alt f2 first time - now using actual terminal - i have a list of info for ifconfig
[05:40] <seidos> !paste | sabqat9

[05:40] <sabqat9> i remember using the sudo lshw command before - network UNCLAIMED
[05:41] <seidos> sabqat9, i'm guessing if it worked before, you probably just need to find out what module needs to load for your network device
[05:41] <sabqat9> used lshw -C network       network UNCLAIMED
[05:42] <sabqat9> I remember going through this same procedure in this chat before - I don't exactly remember what I did - I do remember that having to reboot several times finally shook something in place for me
[05:43] <seidos> sabqat9, it shows network UNCLAIMED for both wired and wireless?
[05:44] <seidos> sabqat9, if you haven't rebooted to try and fix it, you might try typing sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart in terminal
[05:46] <sabqat9> tried nothing happened

[05:53] <sabqat9> does the explanation in the link make any sense to follow - for my situation?
[05:54] <aveilleux> sabqat9: I don't see why not
[06:04] <sabqat9> followed the directions from the link i posted above - worked like a chamr

[06:59] <shahan> I am facing this problem for few days
[06:59] <shahan> while I am going to browsing any website.. this appears
[06:59] <shahan> then I need to get certificate
[07:04] <duanedesign> shahan: are you using any kind of  proxy service?
[07:05] <shahan> duanedesign: no...
[07:05] <shahan> duanedesign: Mine is a WIfi internet, and its DHCP
[07:05] <duanedesign> hmm.
[07:05] <shahan> duanedesign: I need nothing to configure
[07:05] <duanedesign> is your system date and time correct?
[07:08] <duanedesign> shahan: looks like that might be the issue, the screenshot says Jan1 12:28am
[07:08] <duanedesign> unless you have had this problem for awhile now :)
[07:09] <shahan> duanedesign: I had date/time problem while I took the snap... I took it for about 15 mins ago :)
[07:12] <geirha> Sounds like you need a new BIOS battery
[07:13] <geirha> The battery it uses to keep the clock going when there's not power.
[07:15] <duanedesign> hello geirha :)
[07:15] <geirha> Hello :)
[07:19] <shahan> duanedesign: tnx.... It was the problem of date/time wrongly configured. Actually my Battery(of motherboard) has may be damaged. For this its being changing automatically... :)
[07:59] <shahan> can I make my folder size more small
[07:59] <shahan> because, its look too big

[11:19] <Silver_Fox_> Welcome back AbhiJit
[11:19] <AbhiJit> Silver_Fox_, was closed xchat accidently! :)
[11:30] <duanedesign> morning all

[11:32] <duanedesign> :)
[11:33] <duanedesign> JMeK: hello
[11:36] <Silver_Fox_> Hello duanedesign .
[11:36] <duanedesign> JMeK: for help with Wacom Bamboo Driver there is a PPA with the drivers
[11:37] <duanedesign> JMeK: http://blog.brettalton.com/2010/08/28/install-the-wacom-bamboo-driver-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx-using-ppas-tutorialhowto/
[11:37] <duanedesign> Silver_Fox_: howdy
[11:38] <JMeK> Thanks, I'ĺl have a look!
[11:39] <duanedesign> JMeK: np, hope it works for you.. Glad you stuck around. Sometimes it takes a little while for someone to show up (wake UP) and see your post :)
[11:40] <duanedesign> JMeK: i will also provide the same info on the forum post. That way if it works others can benefit from the answer
[11:41] <duanedesign> Silver_Fox_: i was just reading k.mandala's blog. I like. Neat stuff on using linux on old computers
[11:42] <Silver_Fox_> I often read that blog duanedesign  :) Some useful and interesting stuff on it
[11:49] <mR0_> how to install nvidia driver manually?
[11:53] <duanedesign> hello mR0_
[11:54] <mR0_> hlo daunedesign
[11:55] <LeMoiLib> Hello, if Anyone of you uses RKward the interface for R software, can he/she tell me why I don't have an icon for it on my desktop?
[11:55] <JMeK> Thanks duanedesign. The only trouble is: we tried these three lines of code (the PPA) that seems to work for everyone. But in UbuntuStudio it just doesn't seem to work. I'm just not sure if it's me and my beginners-mistakes, or some kind of bug in UbuntuStudio
[11:57] <duanedesign> mR0_: does the driver installed automagically not work correctly?
[12:00] <duanedesign> mR0_: if you download the .run file from NVIDIA site. Make it executable. Reboot. Press ESC to get to grub menu, boot into recovery mode. Choose  'Drop to Shell'  cd /home/<username>/Desktop, or wherever the .run is. Then command sudo ./<filename>.run
[12:00] <mR0_> yes it did noy detect my nvidia. Then I tried to download from website. But it can't be installed. I have to remove/disable "nouveau" first
[12:00] <duanedesign> ok
[12:00] <duanedesign> mR0_: yeah the nouveau will conflict
[12:01] <mR0_> What I can  do?
[12:02] <duanedesign> mR0_: you can remove the open source nouveau driver with the command: sudo apt-get --purge remove xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
[12:03] <mR0_> duanedesign: then install the driver?
[12:05] <duanedesign> mR0_: yes. You can also blacklist the driver
[12:05] <duanedesign> gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf    and add- blacklist nouveau
[12:07] <duanedesign> mR0_: http://paste.rtg.in.ua/6cd9f43e552fbfa096118ec263d50a91/
[12:07] <mR0_> WeW, thanks duanedesign. I'll try now... I'll back 4 u later
[12:08] <duanedesign> this might help^^ Step 7
[12:08] <duanedesign> will of course be a different name depending on the driver
[13:51] <geekosopher> Mohan_chml: congrats!

[14:49] <mR0> my nvidia doesn't seem working. Any advices?
[14:49] <skeeby> yup
[14:50] <skeeby> uninstall it completely
[14:50] <skeeby> reboot
[14:50] <skeeby> and reinstall the latest nvidia package
[14:50] <skeeby> u just update to 10.10?
[14:51] <mR0> skeeby: I already installed from synaptic, but it still not detect my nvidia
[14:51] <skeeby> what version of ubuntu are u on
[14:51] <mR0> what about manual install through consol?
[14:51] <mR0> skeeby: 10.04
[14:52] <skeeby> does it just load u into command prompt when u boot trying to load with nvidia?
[14:53] <mR0> how can do that?
[14:53] <skeeby> well first off
[14:53] <skeeby> what exactly do u mean when u say it doesnt work? are u getting errors or what?
[14:55] <mR0> skeeby: my nvidia detected on system>administration>hardware driver. But it not working when Applying desktop effect
[14:56] <skeeby> can u open the nvidia screen settings from system>administration
[14:57] <skeeby> im sorry nvidia x server settings
[14:57] <mR0> Then I got this "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver.  Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server."
[14:58] <skeeby> what happens when u run that in a terminal as root
[14:59] <mR0> I got this "ALIDATION ERROR: Data incomplete in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
[14:59] <mR0>                   At least one Device section is required.
[14:59] <mR0> Backed up file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' as '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'
[14:59] <mR0> New X configuration file written to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'
[14:59] <mR0> "
[15:01] <skeeby> ok open up your xorg.conf as root
[15:03] <mR0> It show me a blank page
[15:03] <seidos> skeeby, just a thought, you might want to have him check to make sure the "nvidia" driver module is loaded in lsmod and/or lshw.
[15:04] <skeeby> if its blank u didnt open the right file/directory
[15:05] <mR0> yes "/etc/x11/"
[15:05] <skeeby> X11
[15:05] <skeeby> caps sensitive
[15:05] <mR0> oke
[15:06] <mR0> I did it, Wht should I do now?
[15:06] <skeeby> look in Section "Device"
[15:06] <mR0> and?
[15:07] <skeeby> whats it say for "Driver"
[15:07] <mR0> nvidia
[15:08] <seidos> mR0, is your system a notebook?
[15:08] <mR0> yes
[15:08] <skeeby> was that the first time u ran the nvidia-xconfig as root?
[15:09] <seidos> hmmm, had someone come in earlier.  nvidia wasn't working for them.  they an asus uv50 notebook i think it was.  i think the nvidia chip was a gm180, if i recall correctly.
[15:09] <skeeby> and seidos i dont think lsmod shows what we're lookin for, it didnt return anything relavant on my system
[15:10] <seidos> skeeby, lsmod | grep nvidia should show something.  if the nvidia module is loaded it'll be listed in lsmod
[15:10] <mR0> this my nvidia "G 103m 512mb with CUDA"
[15:10] <skeeby> wait nvm i passed that nvidia part right up
[15:10] <skeeby> well his nvidia module is definitely not loaded atm thats already established
[15:10] <skeeby> since he cant open the nvidia x server config
[15:11] <skeeby> err settings  app in system>administration
[15:11] <seidos> skeeby, it may be loaded and not working?  lshw should say for sure though.
[15:11] <skeeby> kk
[15:12] <skeeby> so maybe a "lshw | grep nvidia" ?
[15:12] <seidos> maybe lshw -C nvidia
[15:12] <seidos> grep doesn't work so good with lshw :(
[15:12] <mR0> ??
[15:13] <seidos> mR0, you can try sudo lshw -C nvidia
[15:13] <mR0> oke
[15:13] <skeeby> it didnt return anything for me here
[15:13] <seidos> me neither
[15:13] <skeeby> grep however did work lol
[15:13] <seidos> skeeby, i don't like using grep with lshw because it doesn't include enough info :/
[15:14] <mR0> I did't see anything :(
[15:14] <skeeby> it should atleast show the driver configuration
[15:14] <mR0> skeeby, nothing happen here :(
[15:14] <seidos> mR0, just run sudo lshw and look for your video adapter.
[15:15] <seidos> mR0, under "configuration" it should say driver=<something>
[15:16] <seidos> well, driver=nvidia is what it should say...but i didn't want to spoil the surprise
[15:16] <mR0> Im searching
[15:16] <seidos> skeeby, so what to try if the module is loaded?  i don't have an nvidia chip.  try another version of the binary driver?
[15:16] <Mohan_chml> skeeby: you are doing good =] and hey seidos
[15:16] <seidos> hey Mohan_chml
[15:16] <skeeby> hey hey

[15:18] <Mohan_chml> no worries. But never repeat this if you goto any official channels

[15:19] <seidos> mR0, well, an nvidia driver is loaded.  maybe you can try loading a different version.
[15:19] <mR0> seidos: how?
[15:19] <seidos> not sure what the best way to do that is.  i don't think envy works on 10.10.
[15:20] <skeeby> before u do, if thats the first time u ran the nvidia-xconfig as root, i would reboot first
[15:20] <mR0> then?
[15:20] <skeeby> then come back and share the results
[15:20] <skeeby> if that didnt do it, we'll continue from where we left off
[15:21] <mR0> I'll reboot now...
[15:21] <skeeby> kk

[15:23] <ubot2> Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://tinyurl.com/imagebin and post a link to it.
[15:23] <skeeby> imgur is really nice too
[15:24] <skeeby> welcome back
[15:25] <mR0> You're all great!!! it working now :D thanks all
[15:26] <mR0> I'll remember this lessons :D
[15:26] <skeeby> excellent
[15:26] <skeeby> if you decide to upgrade to 10.10
[15:27] <skeeby> make sure u remove the nvidia drivers completely before hand
[15:27] <skeeby> cause it can cause problems, i know they did for me
[15:27] <skeeby> and just reinstall the nvidia-current once ubuntu is updated
[15:27] <skeeby> just a nice bit of info to know before hand =p
[15:27] <seidos> hmmm, interesting.  he just needed to run sudo nvidia-xconfig it looks like.
[15:28] <skeeby> yup
[15:28] <skeeby> sometimes its the simple things we overlook
[15:28] <seidos> that is listed in this howto:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[15:28] <mR0> skeeby: I see.... seidos & skeeby you're great!!!
[15:29] <seidos> mR0, i didn't really do anything it looks like :)
[15:30] <seidos> i meant to say it *isn't* listed in that howto
[15:30] <mR0> seidos :P
[15:31] <seidos> i guess i should add it
[15:31] <seidos> assuming i can
[15:31] <skeeby> its in there
[15:31] <skeeby> isnt it?
[15:32] <seidos> not stand alone.  did you have him do the other steps listed under "known issues"?
[15:32] <skeeby> no, i figured he just needed to finish installing it
[15:32] <seidos> the sudo apt-get install nvidia-current...blah blah blah
[15:33] <seidos> sudo nvidia-xconfig is only recommended for use under "NVIDIA driver activated but not currently in use in ubuntu 10.04"
[15:33] <elendrum_office> does anyone here use eclipse CDT for C or C++?
[15:33] <mR0> Im done
[15:33] <seidos> i guess i should say something like run sudo nvidia-xconfig after enabling driver, or something.
[15:34] <seidos> elendrum_office, someone might, but they might be idling
[15:34] <seidos> i'm not really sure who our c/c++ programmers are
[15:35] <skeeby> not i sir
[15:35] <seidos> not i either
[15:35] <seidos> i can write "hello world".  :/
[15:35] <elendrum_office> Cool cool, I had eclipse CDT working until I installed the Python plugin. And I just want to edit the enviromental setting so the include and lib paths are set for the eclipse IDE
[15:35] <elendrum_office> :-)
[15:35] <elendrum_office> Sadly I am still learning
[15:35] <mR0> Well, see u later guys. I've to go now. Btw, thanks for all
[15:35] <mR0> bye... :)
[15:36] <elendrum_office> I am armed with a clue... but thats about it
[15:36] <seidos> i haven't heard of anybody that uses eclipse.  i use geany, which doesn't help you at all.
[15:36] <seidos> elendrum_office, you might want to try asking in #c
[15:36] <seidos> is there a #eclipse?
[15:36] <elendrum_office> I wonder if I can set a bash setting
[15:36] <elendrum_office> I am in the eclipse chan tight now and they dont see many CDT people
[15:37] <elendrum_office> right*
[15:37] <elendrum_office> In the long run this may be telling me something, like you another IDE or just stick to gedit and your own ,make files :-)
[15:38] <elendrum_office> But, I will learn to write middle ware servers and mix language projects... I will... I just hope to survive the process
[15:39] <seidos> i don't even know what CDT is
[15:39] <elendrum_office> CDT is 'C Development Tools'
[15:39] <bobo123> Mohan_chml: (sorry I hade to run away from th ecomputer for a while here) yes, like see all connections as they happen (until I press ctrl-c).
[15:40] <skeeby> im not gonan be any help on that subject elendrum, im just now trying to get back into development
[15:40] <bobo123> fore example if I get a webpage in firefox, then the webserver contacted should be added to the list
[15:41] <seidos> elendrum_office, so you're trying to write middle ware servers?  sounds highly challenging.
[15:41] <bobo123> duanedesign: yeah I will try install iftop
[15:42] <Mohan_chml> bobo123: FYI, look at the links at the bottom of the following link. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mohi/NetworkMonitoringProject
[15:47] <elendrum_office> Seidos: Might be, I have written a few smaller servers before, my last one used named pipes. I feel like I am ready for more and will do a standard TCP socket on my next one
[15:48] <elendrum_office> I want to write a few inteligent agents in python to connect to my middleware server and have the server push content into a mysql DB
[15:49] <seidos> elendrum_office, sounds way too sophisticated for me.  are you already a part of a team?
[15:51] <bobo123> Mohan_chml: I look at that too. iftop seems to show what I want though. (I should probably turn off irc while looking though, it must be its fault I contact all those strange one its list)
[15:52] <elendrum_office> Well, sorta, I also do this sort of thing for Genisis Network Solutions. I am just trying to use a better tool for the job.
[15:53] <duanedesign> elendrum_office: i have never used eclipse for C. The only IDE for C I have used is Code::Blocks
[15:54] <elendrum_office> Ok thanks, well I my mainly just use a text editor like Joe or gedit and just hard code my own make files
[15:56] <elendrum_office> ls -l
[15:56] <elendrum_office> opps sorry
[16:18] <bodhi_zazen> Anyone here want to look at a document I threw up on Tor ?
[16:23] <AbhiJit> bodhi_zazen, me
[16:23] <bodhi_zazen> OK AbhiJit : http://bodhizazen.net/Tutorials/tor/
[16:24] <bodhi_zazen> Any feedback or advice you might have would be appreciated
[16:24] <AbhiJit> bodhi_zazen, thank you!
[16:24] <AbhiJit> hmm
[16:24] <bodhi_zazen> no, thank you =)
[16:24] <bodhi_zazen> I see a ton of questions on Tor recently, so trying to provide some documentation
[16:24] <AbhiJit> yah
[16:28] <bodhi_zazen> 'lo nothingspecial
[16:33] <AbhiJit> bodhi_zazen, i used tor long ago. but gave up on because its hard to configure and it was eating all my speed. so just one question: is there any very simple way like there is a shutdown button on our lapotp - to shutdown laptop - like that is there any 'simple' way or keyboard shorcut which will enable/disable tor? because when i want to use tor i dont care speed. but after that i want speed for normal usage.
[16:33] <bodhi_zazen> Torbutton
[16:33] <AbhiJit> bodhi_zazen, but thats only for firefox?
[16:33] <bodhi_zazen> It is a firefox extension
[16:33] <bodhi_zazen> yes
[16:34] <AbhiJit> any system wide?
[16:34] <bodhi_zazen> If you using chromium, install proxy switchy
[16:34] <AbhiJit> ok
[16:34] <bodhi_zazen> For system wide, see http://bodhizazen.net/Tutorials/tor/#System
[16:35] <bodhi_zazen> Proxy switchy is very fast and easy to configure
[16:35] <AbhiJit> bodhi_zazen, is it like that tor is only available for browsers to use? i mean if i have torbutton enabled on firefox then only my firefox will be use tor and if i have simulteneous torrent download running that torrent will not use tor?
[16:35] <bodhi_zazen> If you set a system proxy, you then can configure your browser to use it, or not
[16:35] <AbhiJit> ok
[16:35] <AbhiJit> i wll look into it
[16:36] <bodhi_zazen> Tor is faster then it was in the past, and IMO it helps to have some adblock , so as to not dl undesired stuff on a slow network (Tor)
[16:36] <AbhiJit> yah
[16:36] <bodhi_zazen> As far as torrents, it would depend on your client, but you would probably need to configure it to use the system proxy
[16:37] <bodhi_zazen> A system proxy is just an environmental variable
[16:37] <bodhi_zazen> so you still need to configure your clients
[16:37] <bodhi_zazen> so you tell your clinet to use $http_proxy
[16:37] <bodhi_zazen> Rather then http://<IP_ADDRESS>:8080
[16:37] <bodhi_zazen> or what have you
[16:38] <AbhiJit> ok
[16:39] <philinux> hobgoblin: OT but hifi back up and cookin
[17:44] <eastern_gardens> Can you tell me how I can remap or customize a keyboard layout in Ubuntu. I like to change the place of some keys in the Farsi (Persian) layout
[17:46] <duanedesign> hello eastern_gardens
[17:46] <eastern_gardens> Hello duanedesign
[17:48] <duanedesign> eastern_gardens: you can run the command:  xev to get the key codes for the different keys. then...
[17:51] <eastern_gardens> I just did that in the terminal - it gives information I don't understand such as MotionNotify event, serial 33, synthetic NO, window 0xb800001,
[17:51] <eastern_gardens>     root 0x111, subw 0xb800002, time 11922407, (64,10), root:(1094,543),
[17:51] <eastern_gardens>     state 0x10, is_hint 0, same_screen YES
[17:52] <duanedesign> xmodmap -e "keycode xx = less greater"
[17:52] <duanedesign> would be the example if you were remapping the < > keys
[17:54] <duanedesign> eastern_gardens: motion notify is the mouse moving
[17:54] <duanedesign> eastern_gardens: you have to keep the mouse still and hit the keys you want
[17:56] <duanedesign> eastern_gardens: should look like this http://pastebin.ca/1951203
[17:58] <eastern_gardens> This is too advanced for me. What does that show? how does it help in assigning different characters to a particular key?
[17:58] <duanedesign> eastern_gardens: you might try 'xkeycaps'
[17:59] <duanedesign> you can install it with the command:  sudo apt-get install xkeycaps
[18:00] <eastern_gardens> I am installing it
[18:01] <duanedesign> eastern_gardens: it is a gui for the xmodmap command
[18:02] <eastern_gardens> So should I see in some where in the application menus?
[18:03] <duanedesign> eastern_gardens: if you do not see it in the applications menu you can run it with the command xkeycaps
[18:03] <duanedesign> eastern_gardens: i have never used it so you might look for a tutorial or guide
[18:04] <duanedesign> eastern_gardens: just select ok for the keyboard type at the beginning.
[18:04] <aveilleux> Alternate install?
[18:04] <eastern_gardens> I ran it in the terminal - two windows opened with keyboard layouts - where can I find a manual?
[18:05] <duanedesign> eastern_gardens: the firsst window seemed to select my keyboard layout ok
[18:05] <duanedesign> eastern_gardens: so i just typed ok. Once you get to the keyboard you right-click on a key to get a menu. That is as much as I know about that program :)
[18:06] <duanedesign> aveilleux: xkeycaps
[18:06] <aveilleux> Ahh. Strange program that
[18:06] <duanedesign> Exchange Keys After selecting this menu item, you are asked to click on another key. That key and the key on which you brought up the menu will be exchanged. This changes the keyboard mapping immediately.
[18:06] <eastern_gardens> ok. thank you - I'll search else where to see if I can find a guide.
[18:07] <duanedesign> eastern_gardens: http://www.jwz.org/xkeycaps/man.html
[18:07] <duanedesign> that is what i found^^ had to scroll down a bit to get to the good stuff :)
[18:07] <eastern_gardens> I looked in the list of keyboards - I didn't see a Farsi one, but I was looking very fast may have missed it.
[18:08] <eastern_gardens> I can see the manual on the web page - thank you - I will read and if there are more questions - I'll come back another day
[18:09] <duanedesign> please do
[18:09] <eastern_gardens> Thank you - all - bye for now

[18:11] <eastern_gardens> I am opening it now
[18:13] <eastern_gardens> No that link in launchpad is for starting the bilingual system - I have done that but it gives another link for questions and maybe helping other people with the same problem - thank you
