[12:28] <Wasgood> jrib: sorry where?
[12:28] <khalil> I need help
[12:28] <Wasgood> jrib: just under chainloader?
[12:28] <jrib> Wasgood: at the bottom of your file, above "savedefault", add "makeactive"
[12:28] <ShadeS> well I was curious if that language was just clicks and whistles
[12:28] <ShadeS> because I know there is a language like that
[12:29] <AceKing> Is there a way to do an upgrade from Live CD? The reason I am asking is because my brother has 9.04 installed on his laptop. He went to start the other day and after the grub menu he just got lines across the screen and couldn't do anything. I've been working on this for 3 days
[12:29] <orb01> nmvictor: your question would be answered by a simple Google search. Please don't waste our time if you can find the answer yourself.
[12:29] <khalil> I have vista on an internal drive and ubunutu on an external hdd
[12:29] <wojtek> how can i get to diffrent servers like pl ubuntu?
[12:29] <aurilliance> my webcam in xp required me to enable it via a software button (Ie I have no Function+SomeKey button to toggle the webcam enabled/disabled). How can I enable my webcam now that I'm in linux???
[12:29] <Wasgood> It's not letting me edit the file jrib
[12:29] <Time`s_Witness> lets suppose that volume control is disabled and that i have read nearly all sound topics from ubuntu forums. is there any hope but to uninstall the OS?
[12:29] <Wasgood> jrib: I don't have permission
[12:29] <khalil> I want to boot windows but it dosen't show up on grub2
[12:29] <jrib> Wasgood: type: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[12:29] <orb01> AceKing: look for a guide on Google on how to reinstall Grub from the Ubuntu live CD
[12:29] <Time`s_Witness> in fact before reading the forums i had less problems than after
[12:30] <Time`s_Witness> because sound still worked, just that i had no volume control
[12:30] <AceKing> orb01, but why would I need to reinstall grub?
[12:30] <Wasgood> jrib: saved, now reboot?
[12:30] <jrib> Wasgood: yes
[12:30] <PatcherMan> to anyone who can help me, i have a virus on ubuntu, on my shared folders, tenga/licum anda also every shared folder have a file called khw and exe with a random name, currently is ejjkxu.exe. any ideas?
[12:31] <khalil> !time
[12:31] <jrib> PatcherMan: this is some windows virus?
[12:31] <b2p1mp> Time in USA is: Sat Mar 20 07:31:54 2010
[12:31] <nmvictor> orb01: whose time?what else would one do here other than ask or answer, i just did one of those and now am wasting time..., i think sitting here to advice everyone to find answers from Google is wasting not only other people time, but thy own time too
[12:32] <Wassa> jrib: No go
[12:32] <jrib> Wassa: what happens now?
[12:32] <PatcherMan> jrib true but the fact is where
[12:32] <Wassa> jrib: Same thorn
[12:32] <orb01> AceKing: it is usually the easiest solution for filesystem problems like that. What kind of errors do you see after Grub?
[12:32] <PatcherMan> and i cant shake it off my tail
[12:32] <jrib> PatcherMan: install an antivirus, clam or whatever
[12:32] <PatcherMan> so to speak
[12:32] <PatcherMan> did
[12:32] <jrib> PatcherMan: use it? :P
[12:32] <PatcherMan> deleted 108 fles
[12:32] <khalil> can I get a 1:1 tech support?
[12:32] <Time`s_Witness> oh well nevermind i'll just keep googling till OS won't boot at all xD have fun :)
[12:33] <jrib> khalil: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line)
[12:33] <Wassa> jrib: Same thing*
[12:33] <PatcherMan> deleted 108 fles
[12:33] <khalil> I can't boot windows
[12:33] <PatcherMan> still the problem remains
[12:33] <jrib> Wassa: do you have more than one hard drive?
[12:33] <jrib> !enter | PatcherMan
[12:33] <IdleOne> PatcherMan: I suspect the virus is on a windows share. use clam to scan and clean
[12:33] <AceKing> orb01, no errors. You just start seeing these lines across the screen, and what looks like chinese writing across the top. I can't even Alt f2 to get a terminal
[12:33] <khalil> I have GRUB2 loader on internal (WIndows) and a full GRUB2 on external (Ubuntu)
[12:34] <khalil> On my internal not all of grub is there
[12:34] <AceKing> orb01, if you think that reinstalling the grub may help I'll try it
[12:34] <aurilliance> my webcam in xp required me to enable it via a software button (Ie I have no Function+SomeKey button to toggle the webcam enabled/disabled). How can I enable my webcam now that I'm in linux???
[12:34] <orb01> AceKing: that doesn't sound good at all. Can you access the drives through a live CD?
[12:34] <sYskk> what is the recommended directory for putting executables in ubuntu ? /usr/bin ? id like to be able to access my script from any repertoy without having to write the full path everytime
[12:34] <PatcherMan> IdleOne it was my idea bu the shared is on my pc ubuntu 9.10 and the files on the other pc (windows) dosen't have any virus what so ever
[12:34] <AceKing> orb01, yes
[12:34] <erUSUL> sYskk: /usr/local/bin/
[12:34] <jrib> sYskk: use ~/bin
[12:34] <llutz> sYskk: ~/bin
[12:34] <sYskk> jrib: thx
[12:34] <khalil> I want to boot windows but I cant
[12:34] <alvaro> se podra conectar al messenger no
[12:34] <orb01> AceKing: Good, then it is probably not a disk problem.
[12:34] <alvaro> '¿'¿'¿?¿'¿''¿?¿?¿?¿
[12:35] <inti> how do i prevent the updates window to keep popping up?
[12:35] <Wasgood> jrib: anything new to try?
[12:35] <jrib> sYskk: /usr/local/bin/ as erUSUL said if you want something available to all users on your system.  But ~/bin is good if you just need it for your user
[12:35] <khalil> w/o external plugged in I get GRUB2 error then a grubrescue thing
[12:35] <snypzz> need to mount guest services drive in VBOX win7 host ubuntu9.10 guest
[12:35] <alvaro> what
[12:35] <alvaro> ?
[12:35] <sYskk> what if i want to install a script for all users ? /usr/local/bin then ?
[12:35] <gregor_> @jrib - thanks it installed...unfoirtunatelly it still doesn't work... the only program that recognises the card properly is Linux itself and Skype. wlel i will work on this a bit later. for now thank you. i nneed to finish the lunch and eat...
[12:35] <orb01> AceKing: Reinstalling Grub is probably your easiest option then, instead of tinkering with the Grub (2?) configuration files.
[12:35] <alvaro> a ok
[12:35] <sYskk> jrib: thx
[12:35] <AceKing> orb01, I checked memory too, it's all good
[12:35] <jrib> Wasgood: do you have more than one harddrive?
[12:35] <khalil> But when external IS plugged in I can't boot windows!
[12:35] <sYskk> what is /usr/bin used for then ? for binaries installed through apt i guess?
[12:35] <Wasgood> jrib: I do
[12:35] <snypzz> shared folders at startup
[12:35] <alvaro> what did you do this weekend

[12:36] <alvaro> what did you this weekend
[12:36] <alvaro> ?¿
[12:36] <khalil> can anyone hel or not
[12:36] <khalil> help*

[12:36] <alvaro> +
[12:36] <alvaro> *
[12:36] <jrib> alvaro: that's not related to ubuntu support, ask in #ubuntu-offtopic, not here
[12:36] <orb01> AceKing: that is strange. You could try the 10.04 beta and see if that solves it.
[12:36] <Wasgood> jrib: on the second harddrive I have nothing
[12:37] <Wasgood> jrib: It's an external
[12:37] <alvaro> cuando acaba esto
[12:37] <alvaro> ?
[12:37] <AceKing> orb01, That is what I was going to do. I think I'll try reinstalling the grub first.
[12:37] <khalil> I need urgent tech help!!

[12:37] <IdleOne> !ask | khalil
[12:37] <Lanthes> hi guys i just install the skype and now when i test my webcam on skype its shut it ,what should i do to fix it?
[12:37] <aurilliance> my webcam in xp required me to enable it via a software button (Ie I have no Function+SomeKey button to toggle the webcam enabled/disabled). How can I enable my webcam now that I'm in linux???
[12:37] <alvaro> vamossssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
[12:37] <jrib> Wasgood: have you seen if booting without the external plugged in makes a difference?
[12:37] <khalil> ok
[12:38] <alvaro> ok k
[12:38] <Wasgood> jrib: It is unplugged
[12:38] <alvaro> ??¿
[12:38] <Time`s_Witness> yay =) the only tutorial that said it wouldn't work in 9.10 worked! i just installed alsa and removed pulseaudio to actually have sound
[12:38] <jrib> !es | alvaro
[12:38] <Time`s_Witness> now how can i have a volume control please?
[12:38] <snypzz> where do i find ubuntu printer drivers for Canon LBP860
[12:38] <alvaro> bye bye
[12:38] <AceKing> orb01, Thank you for the info. That's why I love Ubuntu and this forum!
[12:38] <orb01> Time`s_Witness: gnome-volume-control.
[12:38] <jrib> Wasgood: don't know then.  Try using fixmbr with a windows xp disk and seeing if windows actually boots
[12:38] <orb01> AceKing: No problem. :)
[12:38] <PatcherMan> IdleOne i even disconnect the windows pc from the network and still the files appear, needless to say that every exe file on the shared folder gets infected with tenga and the file is bigger 10kb compared with the original
[12:38] <Time`s_Witness> orb01: doesn't work. "Waiting for sound system to respond"
[12:38] <sYskk> where can I read about ubuntu's directories and what their use is ?
[12:38] <Wasgood> jrib: Okay
[12:38] <jrib> !fhs | sYskk
[12:38] <Time`s_Witness> orb01: i believe that is just for pulseaudio. i removed it to install alsa
[12:38] <sYskk> thanks jrib
[12:39] <inti> how do i prevent the updates window to keep popping up?
[12:39] <jrib> inti: install the updates
[12:39] <IdleOne> PatcherMan: I don't have experience with anti virus, sorry I can't help more
[12:39] <Lanthes> hi guys i just install the skype and now when i test my webcam on skype its shut it ,what should i do to fix it?
[12:39] <orb01> Time`s_Witness: alsamixer from terminal.
[12:39] <inti> i dont have space
[12:39] <khalil> I have two drives. One is internal and has windows vista installed. The other drive is external and has ubuntu 9.10 installed. On the external there is a full version of grub2 (It has all the parts I mena, Loader AND config files) The internal (windows) only has the GRUB2 loader. I cannot boot windows at all! Any ideas?!
[12:39] <PatcherMan> IdleOne  no problem
[12:39] <inti> i have 4gb hard drive
[12:39] <Time`s_Witness> orb01: and how to set it to tray?
[12:40] <ania> hello world
[12:40] <orb01> Time`s_Witness: you can't, it's a terminal tool. You could install kmix, but that might require a lot of other packages since it is for KDE.
[12:40] <ShadeS> hello ania
[12:40] <Lanthes> hi guys i just install the skype and now when i test my webcam on skype its shut it ,what should i do to fix it?
[12:41] <PatcherMan> IdleOne i have 2 anti-virus installed and they can't find nothing on ubuntu except on the shared folder
[12:41] <sYskk> what does "/opt" stand for ? optional ?
[12:41] <Time`s_Witness> hum. :|
[12:41] <Wasgood> jrib: I have the iso of my xp cd, it's on my partition
[12:41] <IdleOne> PatcherMan: the shared folder is comming from windows?
[12:41] <dou213> hi everyone, did someone ever do a PDF 2 DOC or better yet 2 ODF conversion?
[12:41] <Wasgood> jrib: I need to burn it to a DVD
[12:41] <orb01> Lanthes: did you install Skype from the repositories or from their website?
[12:41] <PatcherMan> IdleOne no, its on this pc with ubuntu 9.10
[12:41] <Wasgood> jrib: I can't do that from within linux
[12:41] <sYskk> nvm thats what it means
[12:42] <Lanthes> orb01: their website i can be online but still when i test my video it shut it
[12:42] <PatcherMan> IdleOne and before you say the pc with windows is disconnect
[12:42] <IdleOne> PatcherMan: ok so scan and clean that folder
[12:42] <PatcherMan> IdleOne did and still the virus appear
[12:42] <Slart> dou213: pdf's cant reliably be converted to doc/odt.. generally speaking.. some pdf's might be possible or you can do OCR and whatnot on it.. but generally speaking you can't
[12:42] <khalil> gonna ask again
[12:42] <orb01> Lanthes: run it from a terminal, in debug mode if that is available.
[12:43] <IdleOne> PatcherMan: do you access that shared folder from windows and does the guest have write access to the shared folder?
[12:43] <Lanthes> orb01: how can i do that?
[12:43] <PatcherMan> IdleOne yes i did and the guest have permission, its the only way to write on that shared folder from windows
[12:43] <Wasgood> It won't let me mount the windows partition
[12:44] <orb01> Lanthes: open a terminal and type Skype, then give me the output when it crashes.
[12:44] <IdleOne> PatcherMan: the virus is comming from windows. I know you said windows is clean but seems it is not
[12:44] <jrib> Wasgood: why can't you do that from within linux?
[12:44] <sYskk> what's the difference between /usr/local/bin and /usr/bin
[12:44] <orb01> khalil: reinstall Grub and see if that works.
[12:44] <Wasgood> jrib: because it won't let me use the windows partition
[12:44] <PatcherMan> IdleOne it can't be, its a clean instalation
[12:44] <Wasgood> But I think I may have a backup
[12:44] <jrib> sYskk: /usr/bin is managed by APT.   :P
[12:45] <PatcherMan> IdleOne did the exe files there is no info on it
[12:45] <khalil> I have two drives; one internal (290gb with Vista) and one external (250gb with Ubuntu 9.10 installed). On the external I have the GRUB2 loader and config files (no problem), but on the internal I have only the loader (BIG problem). SO all in all when the external is unplugged no booting at all, not even windows. With the external plugged in I can boot Ubuntu, but again no windows. Any idead on how to fix the problem?
[12:45] <jrib> zetheroo: does it come back if you press spacebar?
[12:45] <zetheroo> orb01: no
[12:46] <zetheroo> jrib: no
[12:46] <IdleOne> PatcherMan: like I said I don't have experience with antivirus but ubuntu does not use/create .exe files
[12:46] <Wasgood> jrib: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/QyGMeFcL
[12:46] <orb01> khalil: see my above message where I addressed a possible solution.
[12:46] <PatcherMan> IdleOne did the exe files there is no info on it, the khw there is
[12:46] <zetheroo> jrib: just turns off and that's that ... have to kill the laptop by holding the power button down
[12:46] <chilli0> Hi , how can i find the diffrence's between two files? ( plane text files)
[12:46] <zetheroo> in Ubuntu Hardy it does not happen
[12:46] <Lanthes> orb01: its just open skype as usual but not the problem is that my problem is when i test my webcam inside the skype it gives shut it my skype
[12:46] <Slart> chilli0: diff
[12:46] <sYskk> jrib: i placed my script in ~/bin and it wont let me access it from any directory... is it normal? do I have to change my "resolve path"
[12:47] <chilli0> Slart,  I tryed this.
[12:47] <jrib> chilli0: diff (see options.  Common ones are -Nurp)
[12:47] <IdleOne> PatcherMan: maybe ##windows or #linux can help further.
[12:47] <AceKing> orb01, I found a guide to reinstalling grub. One of the things I have to type in is the hard drive, but they want it like hd0,6 or whatever your hard drive is. I know it's sda4 but how do I know how to translate it to the hd0 number?
[12:47] <orb01> chilli0: try xdiff.
[12:47] <khalil> orb01: I can acces my windows files from within Ubuntu.
[12:47] <PatcherMan> IdleOne khw Troj/Agent-KHW
[12:47] <chilli0> diff /media/CS4/doc /media/CS4/doc
[12:47] <chilli0> Gave me no output..
[12:47] <PatcherMan> IdleOne ok, i'll try
[12:47] <jrib> chilli0: are those directories?
[12:47] <IdleOne> PatcherMan: maybe something you are running in WINE is creating these files
[12:47] <chilli0> ofc yes.
[12:47] <jrib> chilli0: wait, you gave the same path...
[12:47] <sYskk> i guess so, my $PATH = /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
[12:47] <Time`s_Witness> orb01: thanks
[12:48] <chilli0> jrib,  Oh =P
[12:48] <orb01> AceKing: you can see it in any partitioning tool, try gparted.
[12:48] <PatcherMan> IdleOne true, but the anti-virus detected nothing
[12:48] <chilli0> I forgot the 2 at the end of the second file.
[12:48] <orb01> Time`s_Witness: did it work?
[12:48] <jrib> sYskk: log out and log back in
[12:48] <AceKing> orb01, Thanks again!
[12:48] <Wasgood> It won't let me mount my 2nd harddrive either
[12:48] <PatcherMan> IdleOne i'll jump over the other channels for some insights
[12:48] <orb01> Lanthes: I know that's the problem, but you should see an error message in the terminal when your application crashes.
[12:48] <Wasgood> jrib: I can't access even my secondary harddrive
[12:49] <Time`s_Witness> well i didn't install kde. Hum how can i disable the system beeps though? When i kinda, click left on this having typed nothing. I think it was called "alerts" in pulseaudio
[12:49] <jrib> Wasgood: you haven't answered my question
[12:49] <PatcherMan> IdleOne anyway tomorrow i'll install ubuntu and let you know
[12:49] <Wasgood> jrib: which one sorry?
[12:49] <khalil> orb01: I dont see how reinstalling grub to ubuntu will help
[12:49] <jrib> Wasgood: pastebin: sudo fdisk -l
[12:49] <Wasgood> I did, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/QyGMeFcL
[12:49] <Lanthes> orb01: nothing seen on screnn or on terminal
[12:49] <Wasgood> jrib: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/QyGMeFcL
[12:49] <orb01> Lanthes: try skype --debug
[12:49] <orb01> khalil: too bad.
[12:50] <khalil> orb01: so no help at all?
[12:50] <orb01> Time`s_Witness: no clue about that one, KDE user here.
[12:50] <jrib> Wasgood: sudo mkdir /media/windows && sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/windows
[12:50] <Time`s_Witness> okay!
[12:50] <khalil> orb01: I say I dont think it will work because I already reinstalled it
[12:50] <zetheroo> In ubuntu hardy the screen stays on !!! What gives ?
[12:50] <khalil> and it didnt work
[12:50] <sYskk> i guess i have to restart bash
[12:51] <jrib> sYskk: no, you have to log out and back in
[12:51] <Lanthes> orb01: interesting i did it and open skype as usual and then give my pass and then online and then test it again and it shut it again but in terminal its says "aborted"
[12:51] <Wasgood> jrib: I get this error, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/KG2k5hjB
[12:51] <jrib> Wasgood: sudo mkdir /media/windows2 && sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/windows
[12:51] <orb01> khalil: try making a Grub2 entry for the Windows disk yourself from Ubuntu.
[12:52] <orb01> Lanthes: I'll look if this a known problen.
[12:52] <jrib> Wasgood: actually, before you do that, what does « df -h » return?
[12:52] <Wasgood> jrib: sorry, where do I place those?
[12:52] <khalil> orb01: I already tried that but windows still dosen't show up when I reboot
[12:52] <jrib> Wasgood: it's a command, in a terminal
[12:53] <Wasgood> jrib sudo fdisk df -h?
[12:53] <SpiKeCy> there's no install button in any of the apps in 'ubuntu software center'.. does anyone have an idea how to make it pop up ?
[12:53] <orb01> khalil: If it doesn't show up in Grub after manually adding the entry, you did it incorrectly.
[12:53] <abhi_nav> hi
[12:53] <jrib> Wasgood: no, just « df -h »
[12:53] <danboid> I used rcconf to disable udev and now I can't boot buntu. How can I re-enable udev via editing a config file (under /etc/rc.*?)?
[12:53] <orb01> Lanthes: looks like Skype is closed-source, no way to figure out what's wrong. Do you have PulseAudio installed?
[12:54] <jrib> danboid: just chroot and use rcconf again
[12:54] <khalil> orb01: Someone called Signal360 got me to pastebin the entry thing then overwrite the old one so that vista woluld show up
[12:54] <Lanthes> orb01: how can i check?
[12:54] <Wasgood> jrib: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/YK8z5j5D
[12:54] <orb01> Lanthes: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype, try this guide.
[12:54] <guntbert> jrib: hint from the side line: don't give multiple commands to Wasgood
[12:54] <jrib> Wasgood: ok, continue with mount
[12:54] <IdleOne> SpiKeCy: the install button should be on the right side of the line after you select the package
[12:54] <Malkavian_> i have a problem with the gedit latex plugin: it doesn't want anymore to load. until yesterday it has worked, no not anymore. hier is the ouput of gedit when I start it from the command line:
[12:55] <danboid> jrib: Can busybox chroot? Thats my only rescue option here (running buntu on a Zaurus)
[12:55] <Lanthes> orb01: ok let me read
[12:55] <[NNUser]> Lo lads
[12:55] <IdleOne> SpiKeCy: if you don't see it then report a bug on launchpad.net
[12:55] <Wasgood> jrib: I'm currently burning the ISO
[12:55] <jrib> danboid: don't know
[12:55] <Wasgood> jrib: (of the windows xp disk)
[12:55] <jrib> Wasgood: ok
[12:55] <orb01> khalil: I'm sorry, I can't help you. It is never a good idea to have Grub on your external.
[12:55] <SpiKeCy> its not there.. ill see what i can do
[12:56] <danboid> Well I'm presuming that even if I can't chroot, I should be able to get udev running again by editing or linking a file somewhere under /etc, right?
[12:56] <Wasgood> jrib: I'm going to reboot, if you have anything to add, highlight wassa
[12:56] <Malkavian_> http://paste.pocoo.org/show/191796/
[12:56] <adrian> hi
[12:56] <orb01> Lanthes: wait, are you on Kubuntu or Ubuntu?
[12:56] <jrib> danboid: if it can't, you should be able to guess the pattern for the symlinks (S for start, K for kill and the number gives priority).  Assuming it's not just an upstart script I suppose
[12:57] <ets2006> Would anybody be able to inform me of what "hit" means when I run "sudo apt-get update"???
[12:57] <switchgirl> !aircrack-ng

[12:58] <ets2006> joschi: shoudld it be doing that???
[12:59] <orb01> Lanthes: on Kubuntu 9.10, Skype should work with ALSA without configuration. What webcam are you using?
[12:59] <Malkavian_> anybody?
[12:59] <joschi> ets2006: why shouldn't it?
[12:59] <Penquite> Seveas, I don't know what caused my problems, but both php5 and php5-mysql had been uninstalled for some reason, but all seems to be working now, thanks for your help.
[12:59] <guntbert> ets2006: thats perfectly normal
[12:59] <Lanthes> philips to u cam
[12:59] <Lanthes> orb01: philips to ucam fun2
[12:59] <Lanthes> something like that
[12:59] <joschi> ets2006: otherwise it would have to download the package information which would take longer
[12:59] <kenry> hello
[12:59] <AceKing> orb01, I successfully reinstalled grub but that didn't do it. I think I'll just backup the files and do a reinstall for him.
[13:00] <[NNUser]> any recommendations for a ubuntu flavour to run a carpc off?? smallish.
[13:00] <joschi> ets2006: but since these files didn't change, it doesn't download anything. perfectly fine...
[13:00] <ets2006> joschi: oh... i see now.
[13:00] <jrib> [NNUser]: carpc?
[13:00] <orb01> AceKing: unfortunate. Good luck.
[13:00] <ets2006> joschi: but then why is it 404ing at me for "ppa.launchpad.net/karmic main/packages"
[13:01] <Spaceraver> aye.. I want to try my hand at turn by turn gps and all that stuff off an old laptop connected to a lilliput touch screen
[13:01] <AceKing> orb01, it was worth a try, and at least I know how to reinstall grub if I had to : )
[13:02] <Wassa> jrib: The windows xp disk tha I have doesn't work
[13:02] <orb01> AceKing: that's always good :P.
[13:02] <jrib> Wassa: borrow one
[13:02] <Wassa> It's 12am
[13:02] <AceKing> orb01, Thank you again for your help
[13:02] <alexpotato> hey, is there a channel specific to getting ipods working with ubuntu?
[13:03] <jrib> Wassa: go to sleep, wake up, borrow one :)  Anyway this is getting into the realm of ##windows at this point
[13:03] <Spaceraver> so any recommendations?? I does not have to be heavy on the options...
[13:03] <joschi> ets2006: complete error message, please
[13:03] <Wassa> jrib: thanks
[13:04] <orb01> Lanthes: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeWebCams. Some Philips cams work on Skype, some do not. Yours might be one of those that doesn't. Try your webcam in any other program, and/or try and older version of Skype.

[13:05] <tom_> hi
[13:05] <Lanthes> orb01: ok i will do
[13:06] <alexpotato> 2nd attempt: anyone recommend a channel for ubuntu with ipod issues?
[13:06] <rsk> ets2006are you using hardy heron?
[13:06] <orb01> alexpotato: I do not believe there is. What is the problem?
[13:07] <ets2006> rsk: oh.. no! i'm using karmic. that might be why it isnt working??
[13:07] <alexpotato> orb01: well, first of all when I switched to 9.10, in order to get banshee et al to recognize the ipod I had to restart nautilus
[13:08] <orb01> alexpotato: what iPod model is it?
[13:08] <Spaceraver> would love ubuntu mobile... but as far as i can see it's not available... ;(
[13:08] <alexpotato> then in general, when syncing via amaraok, banshee, songird etc, it seems that songs sync but not playlists
[13:08] <ets2006> rsk: oh... hang on.. i'm getting confused.. i see no hardy..
[13:08] <alexpotato> original 60gb ipod
[13:08] <rsk> ets2006 that's why it isnt working
[13:08] <alexpotato> sorry, firt gen 60gb video
[13:08] <Ashok> hi any one help me how to access wammu
[13:08] <rsk> ets2006 W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/alsa-backports/ppa/ubuntu/dists/karmic/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz
[13:08] <abhi_nav> Ashok: what is wammu?
[13:09] <rsk> ets2006 there is no such url on the PPA
[13:09] <joschi> ets2006: remove the stale entries from your /etc/apt/sources.list
[13:09] <ShadeS> a bank that fucvked us
[13:09] <rsk> ets2006 only hardy
[13:09] <Ashok> abhi_nav: pc suite for linux
[13:09] <abhi_nav> Ashok: ohh yah I have it!!!!
[13:09] <joschi> ets2006: you probably have several entries starting with http://ppa.launchpad.net/ in your sources.list. some work, some don't. remove those that do not work
[13:10] <paulo> Heeeeeeeeeeeelp. (: I need to back my kernel version from 2.6.31-20 to 2.6.31-10 to have my USB wireless drive working with ndiswrapper. How I can do this?
[13:10] <Ashok> abhi_nav: then tell me how to configure nokia 6630
[13:11] <orb01> alexpotato: tried gtkpod? Still the best iPod app imo.
[13:11] <abhi_nav> Ashok: how to means? you just follow on screen instruction. it wll be automatically configure then
[13:11] <alexpotato> orb01: that works but it's song by song
[13:11] <Ashok> abhi_nav: hey man i tried many times but i couldt
[13:11] <Ashok> abhi_nav: connect
[13:11] <ets2006> joschi: ok... removed, i'm going to update package lists now
[13:11] <alexpotato> orb01: the claim is that ubuntu has an itunes equivalent (which banshee and songbird come pretty close) but haven't really gotten either to work withe ipod
[13:12] <abhi_nav> Akshok: hmm
[13:12] <aurilliance> My laptop is on my home wifi. I want to ssh into it, is there anything I need to do first?
[13:12] <paulo> Ermm... Ubuntu Lucid already fixed the bug #459716 problem?
[13:12] <rainy_> Just checking X Irc First time I used it evr Lol
[13:12] <alexpotato> orb01: I've even installed windows xp in a virtualbox trying to get that to work as well
[13:12] <orb01> alexpotato: I believe the songbird iPod integration is broken at the moment. Haven't tried Banshee. Amarok support is not very extensive.
[13:12] <joschi> aurilliance: start the sshd on your laptop
[13:12] <Ashok> what ssh
[13:12] <aurilliance> joschi, thanks
[13:12] <bazhang> paulo, #ubuntu+1 for lucid
[13:12] <what1> Secure Shell
[13:12] <abhi_nav> Ashok: first check on their site that if your model is supported or not
[13:12] <Ashok> aurilliance: 1st install openssh-server
[13:13] <orb01> alexpotato: if you want to sync playlists, you could do that manually (although I'm not sure what the file tree looks like in iPods).
[13:13] <paulo> bazhang: thanks dude :)
[13:13] <aurilliance> Ashok, thanks again :)
[13:13] <erUSUL> alexpotato: itunes equivalent ---> rhythmbox is what is installed by default
[13:13] <aurilliance> joschi, how do i start sshd?
[13:13] <aurilliance> "sshd"?
[13:13] <Ashok> aurilliance:  open ur terminal & type sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[13:13] <alexpotato> erUSUL: I've tried that as well
[13:13] <erUSUL> !ipod
[13:13] <aurilliance> Ashok, yeah I got that bit ;)
[13:13] <Ashok> abhi_nav: what is that website
[13:13] <alexpotato> erUSUL: I think it's something with my setup + the ipod
[13:13] <joschi> aurilliance: run /etc/init.d/ssh start
[13:14] <aurilliance> joschi, ta
[13:14] <Ashok> what do u mean by ssh

[13:26] <AJHunter> speaking of stuff I don't know... Is anyone available to tutor me in the ways of Ubuntu certification?
[13:26] <Sanus> head hurts so bad.  want to sleep.  want grub to work first.
[13:26] <hal> MrDusty: to see if you can create files etc, cd ~  and then touch test.txt
[13:26] <Sanus> grub is evil.

[13:28] <hal> Sanus: when navigating the cube, using ctrl+alt and clicking and holding the mouse button and dragging the workspace around...
[13:28] <Sanus> I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala, fresh install, right out of the cd, so if I'm not mistaken that's the 2.6.31-14 kernal, could be wrong.  I've got Grub2, running a dual boot sort of system with Windows XP on sda1, and Ubuntu 9.10 on sdb1.  grub2 was created by satan.
[13:28] <hal> in the bottom toolbar I can see the same apps running as is on the first workspace on every single workspace, even tho they don't have any apps running
[13:28] <hal> Sanus: abhi_nav do you see that behaviour too?
[13:29] <abhi_nav> hal: which?
[13:29] <Spaceraver> ill try netbook remix...
[13:29] <abhi_nav> hal: NO
[13:29] <Sanus> hal: No I do not, but I remember something in something's preferences, lemme look.
[13:29] <hal> abhi_nav: so you see different toolbars?
[13:29] <abhi_nav> hal: yes different
[13:29] <hal> yes please Sanus

[13:31] <abhi_nav> Sanus: ohh :-(
[13:31] <Sanus> what1: That's the antithesis of helpful.
[13:32] <AJHunter> yeah, I noticed that, but decide that correcting it would cause me to make another mistake, so I didn't bother
[13:32] <k0ala> hello what channel do you suggest for website domain discussions?
[13:33] <abhi_nav> AJHunter: dont you have any local linux class there in your city?
[13:33] <Sanus> abhi_nav: When I reboot, I'm getting the rescue prompt, don't want the rescue prompt, how can I change it to give me a menu for just Windows XP hd0,0, and Ubuntu 9.10 hd0,0

[13:33] <what1> its another boot loader
[13:33] <bazhang> what1, if you are not going to be helpful then refrain from offering advice please
[13:33] <what1> that was helpful
[13:33] <hal> Sanus: did you find anything relating to my problem?
[13:34] <bazhang> what1, no it was not. he needs help with grub
[13:34] <Sanus> hal: I have not, it must be in the compiz settings.
[13:34] <Sanus> hal: Do you get the issue when you change desktops via an alternate method?
[13:34] <bazhang> hal,  you may also wish to ask in #compiz
[13:34] <hal> ok thank you bazhang
[13:34] <abhi_nav> Sanu: have you installed ubuntu or want to?
[13:35] <Sanus> Found it
[13:35] <Sanus> hal: Found it, I think
[13:35] <Sanus> hal: On the far left of your window list, right click and find window list perferences
[13:35] <Sanus> hal: See if it has "Show windows from current workspace" or "Show windows from all workspaces" checked.
[13:35] <hal> Sanus: yes when I change to a new workspace, I can see the apps in the toolbar, and then they disappear
[13:36] <alght> helo
[13:36] <Sanus> they disappear?
[13:36] <hal> Sanus: where is the windows list preference, please?
[13:36] <b33tfr33kr> hi alght, what's up?
[13:36] <hal> Sanus: I am sorry, I am not sure where you mean "On the far left of your window list"
[13:36] <Sanus> hal: Far left side of the window list, before the show desktop icon on a clean install.
[13:36] <alght> fine tnxs
[13:36] <Sanus> hal: Far left side of the bottom toolbar
[13:37] <Loki__> Hi, Sound Juicer has recently 'just stopped' auto-ejecting CDs after it's finished extracting them - what could have caused this?
[13:37] <Sanus> hal: Between the first area that will show a window, and the "show the desktop" icon.
[13:37] <Loki__> The only thing i've installed since has been the compiz settings manager
[13:37] <leagris> hal, this is the last solution but it is possible you will have to delete existing compiz configuration from gconf (if that is the backend used) and from flatfiles directory if needed. I had do do this once because it behavied strangly and not fixable.
[13:37] <abhi_nav> Sanu: have you installed ubuntu or want to?
[13:37] <Lanthes> Hello guys i try to use skype in kubuntu but it shut it when i cal someone or test it no sound working or video working in skype its just shut it how can i fix it?
[13:38] <alght> i have the same prob in skype
[13:38] <bazhang> abhi_nav, he has it installed
[13:38] <Sanus> abhi_nav: I've installed Ubuntu.  I'm here from a liveCD.  I cannot access my partitions via Grub2, because it sends me to the rescue bash.  I would like it if I could find a way to generate a menu, and boot via said menu.
[13:38] <_linux_student> amsn know any of you have a problem with farsight2
[13:38] <too5hort> hey i just installed spotify, and i closed it, but when i want to start it up again it says "spotify is already running" is there a killall command for spotify ?
[13:39] <hal> Sanus: ah, I didn't know about those prefs.  Thank you for explaining it.  It has not resolved the issue tho unfortunatately
[13:39] <Sanus> (This is beyond difficult.  My brain hurts.)
[13:39] <Sanus> hal: I'm sorry, try reinstalling compiz I 'spose
[13:39] <Sanus> hal: Do they disappear after a short time?
[13:39] <hal> thank you leagris.  That's a good suggestion
[13:39] <Sanus> hal: If so, that might just be lag, or the toolbars refreshing slowly.
[13:40] <hal> Sanus: no, but when I select a workspace, then the everything displays correctly
[13:40] <abhi_nav> Sanus: you upgraded from 9.04 or fresh install of 9.10?
[13:40] <Sanus> hal: Oh, the toolbar stays when you go into the cube?
[13:40] <Sanus> abhi_nav: Fresh install
[13:40] <hal> Sanus: yes, but there is no reason for mine to be affected and other ppls to be ok
[13:40] <Sanus> abhi_nav: From a mail-order CD
[13:40] <Sanus> hal: I would think that's a useful feature!  Have you checked the desktop cube preferences?
[13:40] <hal> Sanus: yes, it does not change until another workspace is selected
[13:41] <aaal3> how can i start NetworkManager (network-manager) from command line?
[13:41] <b33tfr33kr> too5hort, you can kill anything from the terminal. usage is in "man killall" but it's basically "killall <programname>
[13:41] <abhi_nav> Sanus: you first install windows and then ubuntu, werent you?
[13:41] <hal> Sanus: I don't think it is useful - it defeats the purpose of the cube! ;)
[13:41] <NerveClasp> Hi! How can I watch licenced DVD on linux?
[13:41] <Sanus> abhi_nav: As per the common dual-boot setup.
[13:41] <Sanus> abhi_nav: Er, yes.
[13:41] <b33tfr33kr> too5hort, you can list running processes with ps. try "ps aux"
[13:42] <abhi_nav> NerveClasp: there is product something like called PowerDVD in shop in ubuntu web site.
[13:42] <Sanus> hal: Fair enough, I suppose.  Check all the cube settings before reinstalling compiz though.  And it might be an issue with your video card, or driver.
[13:42] <aaal3> how can i start NetworkManager (network-manager) from command line?
[13:42] <leagris> NerveClasp, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[13:42] <hal> Sanus: possibly - but I hope not
[13:42] <b33tfr33kr> too5hort, you can also use "kill <process id>" with the proc id listed from ps aux
[13:43] <Sanus> aaal3: gksudo nm-applet if it's installed
[13:44] <aaal3> thanks Sanus; it always bothers me how the package name and command are normally different :p
[13:44] <Sanus> aaal3: It can never be easy.
[13:44] <Sanus> aaal3: They make you think!
[13:44] <aaal3> Sanus: is there any trick to figuring out the name of an application?

[13:54] <leagris> leagris, the new WD disks line have internal 4k but its SATA firmware only show 512byte sectors to the SATA bus. I wonder if gparted and more inward linux sata drivers will properly handle other block size. This is the reason the current firmware translate block size.
[13:54]  * Grey_Loki smiles
[13:54] <b33tfr33kr> piojunbabia, run the comand it gives you in the terminal
[13:54] <piojunbabia> bazhang: ok

[14:00] <llutz> ogelami: just overwrite
[14:01] <piojunbabia> bazhang: thanks, success!!! now i know... :)
[14:01] <leonardo> The resolution is ok
[14:01] <hal> bazhang: well, its a screenlet too.   But aparently there is one that is default with gnome
[14:01] <ogelami> llutz: "Filesystem is only readable."
[14:01] <bazhang> hal, not sure if you mean ccsm or simple-ccsm
[14:01] <leonardo> b33tfr33kr: the resolution is correct
[14:01] <ogelami> when the disc says dvd-rw+
[14:01] <b33tfr33kr> leonardo, is it a special output? tv out maybe? might have to manually configure xorg.conf or something

[14:03] <ogelami> what where when :P, did i miss it?
[14:03] <alise> Suppose I have no optical drive and no USB drive. Is there some fancy bootloader trick I could use to somehow boot an iso off an NTFS partition?

[14:03] <b33tfr33kr> leonardo, might have to search synaptic for laptop screen drivers. (should have detected though...)

[14:04] <leagris> og01, are you trying to format a DVD-RAM or a DVD-RW? If the first one, this is a little complicated and somehow supported but not with brasero.
[14:04] <piojunbabia> is it advisable to install all the updates on Update Manager?
[14:04] <leonardo> bazhang: Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
[14:04] <bazhang> piojunbabia, sure
[14:05] <mrdeadlocked> i figured it out. Woot
[14:05] <ogelami> i have a 4.7gig dvd and 4.6gig data, and it says that the size of the data to be written is to big, why is that?
[14:05] <b33tfr33kr> piojunbabia, yes. update manager is your friend.  use it often
[14:06] <daniskami> alise: if you have Windows on that computer, WUBI might help you. http://wubi-installer.org/
[14:06] <llml_> Anyone: I've got something weird. I could use the telnet command to connect to the wordpress.com on port 80, but got stuck when trying to wget wordpress.com? Will someone help me figure it out?
[14:06] <llutz> ogelami: different sector-sizes, 4.7G raw data means about 4.3GB "real data" writeable
[14:06] <leagris> leonardo, is that your problem? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/417675
[14:06] <ogelami> llutz: so it's impossible to burn windows7 to a regular dvd disc?
[14:07] <leonardo> bazhang: what is more strange is that on Debian after some updates I had the same problem. So I installed ubuntu to see if works ok
[14:07] <enzotib> ogelami: the max size is about<PHONE_NUMBER> bytes, that are not 4.7GiB
[14:07] <matic> llml_, maybe wordpress servers reject wget as user agent?
[14:07] <llutz> ogelami: i never tried but i guess, it is possible
[14:07] <leonardo> Bazhang: and now I have the same problem on ubuntu too
[14:07] <leonardo> Bazhang: after an update too
[14:07] <bazhang> ogelami, win7 fits fine, but not related to this channel
[14:07] <leonardo> Bazhang: because was working ok
[14:07] <llml_> matic: not just for wordpress.com, it's just a example, i could not wget nothing:(
[14:07] <leonardo> Bazhang: will see the link
[14:07] <llutz> ogelami: "growisofs -Z /dev/dvd=/path/to/win7.iso"
[14:08] <Grey_Loki> What can be used to automatically rip a music CD on insertion and eject afterwards, now that grip is no longer in current repos?

[14:11] <wh1t3> OerHeks, none of those work
[14:12] <OerHeks> wh1t3, when pressing ctrl + alt +F2, wait a few seconds...
[14:12] <wh1t3> OerHeks, just splash screen, then blackness, not even gdm. Ctrl+Alt+F1-6 dont give me terminals, Ctrl+Alt_f7 doesnt do anything either, since there is no gdm
[14:12] <wh1t3> OerHeks, I have, it just doesnt come up with anything
[14:12] <wh1t3> i can get a terminal via recovermy mode though

[14:17] <tehbaut> ...or can it even be done?
[14:17]  * Aren rephrases. "Without using unetbootin...tried that before and it didn't work.  There was an alternate way, that involved getting the 'Create a Live USB' from System -> Administration that I can't remember how to invoke."
[14:17] <mrdeadlocked> How would i edit grub2 to add nodmraid+nomodeset automatically, instead of manually every time i boot.
[14:17] <Sanus> Okay, so that didn't work.
[14:17] <llml> matic: are you still around? i said, i'm sure it nothing to do with dns, cause wget has already print out the ip of wordpress.com host. only got stuck at : HTTP request sent, awaiting response...

[14:20] <b33tfr33kr> trism, good tip.  good to know.
[14:21] <ukebane> leonardo, normally it's in /etc/X11/
[14:21] <ukebane> but I can't find mine there either
[14:21] <llutz> leonardo: there is no xorg.conf by default, if you need one, create one at /etc/X11
[14:22] <leonardo> llutz: I need to change displaysize. Do you know how do this
[14:22] <mrdeadlocked> trism that works thanks!

[14:24] <Sanus> and from there, I can do nothing.

[14:24] <alght> can any1 help in testing audio in skype?
[14:25] <aurilliance> alght, there is a test phone number in skype solely for that purpose
[14:25] <joschi> alght: the automatic skype call tester?
[14:25] <Sanus> Is there a grub2 tutorial for dummies?
[14:25] <bazhang> !grub2 > Sanus
[14:25] <alght> when i try the automatic test call i see an audio prblem
[14:25] <whoa> i think ive installed kubuntu through vista, it created an ubuntu directory, and i have the option to "uninstall-wubi".  now how to i run kubuntu?
[14:26] <bazhang> whoa, wubi?
[14:26] <Sanus> bahang I've seen that about 40090billiontimes.
[14:26] <Sanus> bazhang sorry, tired.
[14:26] <bazhang> Sanus, not sure, ubuntuforums has one iirc
[14:26] <arand> whoa: reboot the computer and choose kubuntu in the boot menu.
[14:27] <whoa> bazhang wubi is the ubuntu installer
[14:27] <b33tfr33kr> ukebane, leonardo sorry, i lagged out.  did you get what you need on xorf.conf?
[14:27] <whoa> arand, i dont see that option when i reboot and hits f8
[14:27] <Sanus> bazhang I've tried to read through here, but from what I've found it says nothing about just setting up a nice neat little menu for your two little oses on your two little harddrives
[14:27] <bazhang> whoa, right, and you also installed a dual boot? or only ubuntu/wubi
[14:27] <bazhang> Sanus, this is the first mention I have seen of two hard drives
[14:27] <ukebane> b33tfr33kr, well we know it doesn't exist by default now, but we don't know how to make one with the proper content
[14:28] <joschi> Sanus: grub2 can be a bitch. ;)
[14:28] <Sanus> bazhang: I was hear earlier, nobody else from then is on now, sorry
[14:28] <ChogyDan> Sanus: do you just want to remove some entries?
[14:28] <Sanus> joschi: grub2 was made by the devil
[14:28] <whoa> bazhang: i installed a virtual box drive on a partition then installed kubuntu into that partition
[14:28] <joschi> Sanus: what does your /boot/grub/grub.cfg look like
[14:28] <ricdanger1> ho there
[14:28] <Sanus> ChogyDan: I want to be able to boot into my OSes, it currently sends me to it's command line thingy
[14:28] <inti> hi
[14:28] <bazhang> whoa,  a vdi?
[14:28] <joschi> Sanus: and did you boot with the ubuntu live cd, chroot into your local system and try to run `update-grub2`?
[14:29] <whoa> bazhang: vdi sounds familiar
[14:29] <Sanus> joschi: very basic, booted with livecd, and chroot doesn't seem to work at all for me.
[14:29] <aurilliance> Ubuntu netbook remix: I want to map the keyboard SUPER+D to take me to the main menu. What is the command for the main menu?
[14:29] <inti> how can i prevent the updates program to keep popping up?
[14:29] <bazhang> whoa, seems awfully complicated, why that and not a simple dual boot
[14:29] <aurilliance> is there a ubuntu command that opens the main menu?
[14:29] <b33tfr33kr> sudo Xorg -configure will generate one with current settings.  xorg doesn't require it's prescence, but will use it if provided
[14:29] <b33tfr33kr> ukebane, leonardo sudo Xorg -configure will generate one with current settings.  xorg doesn't require it's prescence, but will use it if provided
[14:29] <joschi> Sanus: did you setup your local Ubuntu with LVM or just on vanilla block devices?
[14:29] <erUSUL> aurilliance: no that i know of. what would that be good fo ?
[14:29] <arand> Sanus: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 is also good, as is http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/grub-2.html

[14:30] <bazhang> comradekingu, karmic beta1?
[14:30] <joschi> Sanus: when chrooting into your local installation from the live cd fails, something is quite wrong. or you are using the wrong partitions ;)
[14:30] <Sanus> joschi I have no update-grub2, and block devices (I thin)
[14:30] <whoa> bazhang: so i could run ubuntu from within vista
[14:30] <aurilliance> Roland, use maximus?

[14:30] <ukebane> b33tfr33kr: that gives me an error, I'll query you
[14:31] <Sanus> joschi: No, that's not it, it just seems that it never works.  Especially for aptitude things.
[14:31] <aurilliance> erUSUL, true
[14:31] <Sanus> joschi apt-etc. things
[14:31] <comradekingu> bezhang: Yes, its released, but doesnt have a intro page like the other test releases have, like http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/karmic/alpha2 for example
[14:31] <mrwes> been gone for awhile -- new LTS version coming in April?
[14:31] <aurilliance> erUSUL, in windows, pressing super+D takes you to the desktop, I want to do the same thing in ubuntu
[14:31] <erUSUL> aurilliance: change that to ctrl + D in the keybindings preferences
[14:31] <joschi> Sanus: `grub-mkconfig` maybe? there should definately be this program on your system
[14:31] <aurilliance> only im in UNR, meaining the desktop is actually the menu
[14:31] <bazhang> comradekingu, there is not an alpha nor beta of karmic; perhaps you mean lucid
[14:31] <erUSUL> aurilliance: so you want to map show manu or clear desktop ???????
[14:32] <aurilliance> erUSUL, lets go with desktop
[14:32] <ukebane> b33tfr33kr: does that mean I have to exit Xorg?
[14:32] <aurilliance> erUSUL, is there a command for that?
[14:32] <joschi> Sanus: when apt* fails, you may not have mounted all needed partitions, like /var for example
[14:32] <bazhang> mrwes, yes, discussion and support in #ubuntu+1
[14:32] <erUSUL> aurilliance: System>Preferences>keybindings
[14:32] <mrwes> bazhang, yep -- got it.
[14:32] <Roland> aurilliance, is there any compiz trick to do that?
[14:32] <b33tfr33kr> ukebane, yeah, sorry.  you do.
[14:33] <Sanus> joschi: what all do I have to mount in order to get it to work?  I just mount it to mnt and chroot there
[14:33] <ukebane> right, I'll brb
[14:33] <comradekingu> bazhang: Ah, yes, but the link found was under mythbuntu, are those releases behind the normal schedule?
[14:33] <leonardo> b33tfr33kr: Fatal server error:
[14:33] <leonardo> Server is already active for display 0
[14:33] <leonardo> 	If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock
[14:33] <leonardo> 	and start again.
[14:33] <FloodBot3> leonardo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:33] <aurilliance> erUSUL, got it thanks!
[14:34] <joschi> Sanus: you have to mount every needed partition. I don
[14:34] <ChogyDan> Sanus: I think you have to mount /dev if you are trying to redo grub
[14:34] <bazhang> comradekingu, not that far behind afaik
[14:34] <erUSUL> aurilliance: no problem
[14:34] <ukebane> leonardo: you need to exit X first
[14:34] <Tenantry> sucsess cheers for the help!
[14:34] <joschi> Sanus: I don't know which layout you chose during installation
[14:34] <bazhang> comradekingu, you may wish to check in #ubuntu-mythtv
[14:34] <joschi> Sanus: so that's up to you, identifying these partitions
[14:34] <aurilliance> Roland, not afaik, check out the NameBar panel app tho
[14:34] <Sanus> joschi: grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /
[14:35] <Sanus> joschi: just the usual linux/extended/linux swap partitions
[14:35] <aurilliance> Pressing ctrl+alt+f7 to return to my x-session from tty causes my netbook to go to suspend, anyone know how to fix this?
[14:35] <Sanus> chogydan: so confused.
[14:35] <ChogyDan> Sanus: did you mount /dev?
[14:35] <joschi> Sanus: so, seperate partitions for /, /var, /usr, /home and /tmp?
[14:36] <Sanus> joschi: chogydan: grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /
[14:36] <joschi> Sanus: mount these at the respective mount points (e.g. /mnt, /mnt/var, /mnt/usr and so on)
[14:36] <joschi> Sanus: also mount /mnt/proc and /mnt/dev
[14:36] <Sanus> chogydan: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt is what I did
[14:36] <joschi> Sanus: then chroot into /mnt
[14:36] <Sanus> joschi: okay
[14:37] <aaal3> stuff
[14:37] <ChogyDan> Sanus: do everything that joschi is telling you
[14:37] <joschi> Sanus: give me all your money
[14:37] <joschi> scnr ;)
[14:37] <Sanus> joschi: I'm broke anyway
[14:37] <Sanus> joschi: Anyway, how do I mount all of those/unmount it first?
[14:38] <inti> how can i prevent the updates program to keep popping up?
[14:38]  * mjkjr just switched from vista to ubuntu.  Favorite feature so far 'Workspaces'
[14:38] <erUSUL> inti: disable it in the startup apps ?
[14:38] <comradekingu> bazhang: /lucid/beta1 works, so I reported it to the mailinglist owner
[14:38] <joschi> Sanus: given you booted the live cd. now open a root shell with `sudo su -` or prefix every command with `sudo`
[14:38] <bazhang> comradekingu, nice work thanks
[14:39] <bazhang> joschi, sudo -i is preferable
[14:39] <inti> erUSUL , is not only at startup, is constant
[14:39] <b33tfr33kr> ukebane, leonardo, kick over to ctrl+alt+f1 and login.  then type "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" then "sudo Xorg -configure" then "sudo startx"
[14:39] <erUSUL> inti: if it is not running it will not pop up
[14:39] <joschi> Sanus: now run `mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt`, `mount /dev/sdbX /mnt/usr`, `mount /dev/sdY /mnt/var` (with X and Y being the respective partitions)
[14:40] <inti> ok i will check that, thanx
[14:40] <joschi> Sanus: to mount procfs and devfs run `mount -t proc none /mnt/proc` and  `mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev`
[14:40] <joschi> bazhang: thanks
[14:40] <b33tfr33kr> ukebane, leonardo, kick over to ctrl+alt+f1 and login.  then type "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" then "sudo Xorg -configure" then "sudo startx"
[14:41] <Sanus> joschi: the only other things are sdb2 and sdb5
[14:41] <joschi> Sanus: it is really important, that /mnt/var and /mnt/usr are the right partitions
[14:41] <joschi> Sanus: when /dev/sdb1 is your root-partition (e.g. '/'), you can peek at /mnt/etc/fstab
[14:41] <bill> hello
[14:41] <Sanus> joschi: I'm beyond confused.  How do I do that?
[14:41] <ukebane> b33tfr33kr: figured that part out ;), it created a what looks like default file in my home directory, so I can go edit it now
[14:42] <Sanus> wait
[14:42] <Sanus> I'm stupid
[14:42] <joschi> Sanus: e. g. `less /mnt/etc/fstab` when /dev/sdb1 is already mounted on /mnt
[14:42] <cgabriel> Hi all, can anyone help me with a installed drivers issued on Ubuntu 9.10?
[14:42] <liunx> hello
[14:42] <b33tfr33kr> ukebane, perfect.  keep a backup in case you mess up.
[14:43] <b33tfr33kr> hi liunx
[14:43] <liunx> say..., cgabriel
[14:43] <liunx> may be i can help you
[14:43] <Sanus> joschi: It's still saying that there's only one installation
[14:43] <liunx> hi b33tfr33kr
[14:43] <cgabriel> ok im trying to installed a LifeView LR214 to used with MythTv
[14:43] <Sanus> joschi: not installation, and not one, wait a sec, I'm not being intelligent gimme a sec
[14:43] <ukebane> bbl
[14:44] <liunx> then?
[14:44] <Sanus> joschi: Okay, /proc is the only one that shows up anywhere on this list.  Which is weird.  Yeah, no, nothing else is showing up.
[14:45] <Sanus> joschi: Why shouldn't just mounting the whole big ol' partition work?  Cause they don't have separate partitions, it's all in one thing.
[14:45] <joschi> Sanus: the fstab only contains a line with /proc?
[14:45] <cgabriel> liunx: ok im trying to installed a LifeView LR214 to used with MythTv
[14:45] <joschi> Sanus: if you have everything installed on one big partition, that's fine
[14:45] <fr3nzy> Ctrl + Alt + F1 doesn't switch me to the command line, sure it does stop the gdm, but I'm unable to do anything. Any ideas why that might be the case?
[14:46] <Sanus> joschi: Okay!  yay!
[14:46] <bazhang> joschi, iirc he has two hard drives, not sure if he has installed os-prober or not
[14:46] <joschi> Sanus: it's just about mounting your linux partitions to be able to chroot into your local system
[14:46] <abhi_nav> Sanus: still not soved? so sad :-(
[14:47] <Sanus> It does say I'm root@ubuntu~#
[14:47] <Sanus> abhi_nav: like... 20 hours and going.  Woo.
[14:47] <b33tfr33kr> haha Sanus
[14:47] <abhi_nav> Sanus: best of luck: ha haa haaa :P :D
[14:47] <Sanus> abhi_nav: got the... one thing solved... like.... 4 hours ago.
[14:47] <joschi> Sanus: would have been easier to reinstall ;)
[14:47] <Sanus> so tired.
[14:47] <Sanus> I did
[14:47] <Sanus> I have been reinstalling
[14:47] <abhi_nav> Sanus: hmm
[14:47] <Sanus> it just... doesn't woooooork
[14:48] <abhi_nav> fr3nzy its Ctrl + Alt + F2
[14:48] <Sanus> Hey, osprober works.
[14:48] <Sanus> So, why can't grub get os_prober to work?
[14:48] <bazhang> Sanus, its fixed?
[14:49] <abhi_nav> Sanus: because its grub :P
[14:49] <fr3nzy> abhi_nav none of the f1 through f6 work.
[14:49] <abhi_nav> fr3nzy not f1 to f6 its Ctrl + Alt + F2 in ubuntu
[14:49] <Sanus> bazhang: god no.
[14:50] <Tobarja> where's the preferred place to set user environment vars? (EMAIL, EDITOR, etc)
[14:50] <abhi_nav> fr3nzy it works for me (but not always, sometimes goes blank and then i have to restart :-(   )
[14:50] <Sanus> grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /.
[14:50] <Sanus> Also, Grub2 was made by the devil.
[14:50] <bazhang> Sanus, did you install os-prober?
[14:50] <Sanus> was already installed
[14:50] <guntbert> abhi_nav: why wouldn't ctrl+alt+F1 work too?
[14:50] <fr3nzy> As far as I know there are 6 console clients running, and yes, none of them, even the one under f2, is working. I can't get to the command line, just the blank screen and a cursor.
[14:50] <abhi_nav> guntbert: dont know
[14:51] <bazhang> Sanus, its not installed, its optional
[14:51] <ChogyDan> abhi_nav: do you have an f-lock button?
[14:51] <guntbert> abhi_nav: because here it certainly works :-)
[14:51] <abhi_nav> ChogyDan: yes
[14:51] <Sanus>  bazhang: It said I already had it, after apt-getting for it
[14:51] <abhi_nav> guntbert: :)
[14:51] <ChogyDan> abhi_nav: have you tried fiddling with that?
[14:51] <bazhang> abhi_nav, it certainly works, please dont misinform others
[14:52] <abhi_nav> ChogyDan: yes, i said sometimes ctrl + alt + f2 works for me. and sometimes not. and when sometimes it not then it close graphical interface and in process to go to command prompt but it caant. it just hangs in between and then i have to restart
[14:53] <bazhang> abhi_nav, then you have an issue with your system
[14:54] <Sanus> RAWR
[14:54] <SanderX> Hello, I am trying to boot Ubuntu 10.4 and it loads, but when it is supposed to go to the desktop it just shows some black stripes and other graphic error stuff. I am using a ATI Mobility Radeon HD4650, is this a driver error?
[14:54] <Sanus> Cannot find a list of partitions!
[14:54] <Sanus> Rawr.
[14:54] <Sanus> rawr times infinity
[14:54] <FloodBot3> Sanus: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:54] <singh> Hi
[14:54] <bazhang> SanderX, #ubuntu+1 for lucid please
[14:54] <xangua> !lucid | SanderX
[14:54] <SanderX> okay
[14:54] <ghost_> Hi all
[14:54] <singh> Just installed Ubuntu 10.04 beta1
[14:55] <bazhang> singh, #ubuntu+1 please
[14:55] <alght> aurilliance? ty i used a sound recorder but the test there also fail
[14:55] <joschi> Sanus: is /proc (in the chroot, /mnt/proc from the outside) and /dev (in the crhoot, /mnt/dev from the outside) correctly mounted?
[14:55] <Sanus> joschi: I think, it has Ubuntu down... but how do I get it to find it's windows body?
[14:55] <ghost_> Hey does anyone use the Kodak ESP3250I cant find any linux reviews on it
[14:55] <singh> bazhang: I do not understand what you meant
[14:55] <bazhang> singh, the channel for lucid support is #ubuntu+1
[14:55] <singh> ok I see
[14:56] <Sanus> joschi: do I just mount --bind /usr /mnt/usr?
[14:56] <Guest57602> alght: pavucontrol - PulseAudio Volume Control
[14:56] <b33tfr33kr_> singh, #ubuntu-offtopic is just chat if that strikes your fancy
[14:56] <Zteam> Hi
[14:56] <joschi> Sanus: no
[14:56] <Sanus> joschi Okay, what do I do?
[14:57] <alght> guest ? where do i look in it?
[14:57] <joschi> Sanus: when you have everything in one big partition, /mnt/usr already has the correct files
[14:57] <Sanus> joschi Right, so then chroot into /mnt, right?
[14:57] <Guest57602> alght: apt-cache search
[14:57] <Sanus> Why is it still "grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /."?
[14:58] <joschi> Sanus: I'd run `grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg` *inside* the chroot environment
[14:58] <joschi> Sanus: if this works, take a look at your grub.cfg
[14:58] <mikelifeguard> How can I count how many files are in a directory from the command line?
[14:58] <joschi> Sanus: if it looks sane, create a custom grub config snippet for your windows. e.g. like described in http://erickoo.wordpress.com/2009/06/14/how-to-add-vista-partition-to-grub-2-ubuntu-9-10-karmic-koala/
[14:59] <crs> Hi there. How can I disable default sound while starting system?
[14:59] <joschi> Sanus: then run the grub-mkconfig command again. it *should* work
[14:59] <alght> ok is any 1 here able to talk in messenger need help with skpe audio
[14:59] <joschi> Sanus: if not, go to sleep and try it again tomorrow.
[14:59] <Zteam> I recently added umask 077 my /etc/profile to prevent other users from reading my files, this works great but now everytime i add a repository the system can't read the new file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d
[14:59] <fr3nzy> No one has any ideas why ctrl+alt+(f1 through f6) doesn't switch me properly to the command line mode? All I get is a blank screen and a blinking cursor. I can return to the desktop mode with ctrl+alt+f7 though.
[14:59] <ukebane> woops, errored after changing xorg.conf, I accidentally put the same section in twice without closing it, lol
[15:00] <hellyeah> in #debian
[15:00] <Guest57602> mikelifeguard: ls |wc -l
[15:00] <Zteam> Is there any easy way to fix this, without have to change the umask again?
[15:00] <virginisland> guys having a problem i want to dual boot on a mac but get this error when partitioning   http://grab.by/3bFm
[15:00] <coop> pretty sure its just cheap speakers, but sound on netbook is very muffled, even with ear phones- not very loud. is this a hardware issue or can it be fixed w software?
[15:01] <mikelifeguard> Guest57602: great, thanks
[15:01] <root_> quit
[15:02] <Zteam> anyone have a fix for my problem?
[15:02] <coop> sound OUTPUT is internal audio analog stereo btw
[15:02] <joschi> Zteam: no. but setting your home directory to 0700 should be sufficient. so nobody can read or write files in it, even if they are 0777.
[15:02] <mernilio> greetings fellow friends!
[15:02] <joschi> Zteam: so change your umask back to 022 ;)
[15:02] <bazhang> mernilio, ni
[15:03] <Sanus> brb
[15:03] <mernilio> bazhang: ni? What the hell is _that_ suppose to meen?
[15:03] <b33tfr33kr> hello mernilio
[15:03] <bazhang> mernilio, hi; did you have a support question
[15:03] <qweqwe> i am having some refresh rate problem with my screen , the max value that i have is 60hrz i have ati driver and LG24 , any idea how i can solve the problem with my refresh rate ?
[15:03] <virginisland> can somoene help  http://grab.by/3bFm
[15:03] <Zteam> joschi: yes, but I thought it would be nice to have this by default all users
[15:04] <mernilio> bazhang: actually i had a question.   What exactly is happening?
[15:05] <b33tfr33kr> mernilio, #ubuntu-offtopic is for open chat
[15:05] <mernilio> Guest57602: at the moment.. 194 Mhz.. i know it's slow
[15:06] <Guest57602> mernilio: How much memory do you have in this system?
[15:06] <ukebane> b33tfr33kr, the reason I asked about xorg.conf was because my login screen for gnome is 1920x1400 while my maximum resolution is 1280x800. I edited the xorg.conf but that didn't do anything.
[15:06] <Zteam> joschi: fourtunatly I doesn't need this very badly, I was just curious if there was a way to fix this :-)
[15:06] <mernilio> normaly  i have around 2 gig.. but not now. Okay?
[15:06] <Guest57602> mernilio: Is your processor 194MHz?
[15:06] <ukebane> I also tried changing usplash.conf
[15:07] <edwardsec> hi people
[15:07] <edwardsec> somebody know how to install irssi with ssl support?
[15:07] <Neo2> edwardsec:hi
[15:08] <qweqwe> any idea with my refresh rate problem ?
[15:08] <mernilio> Guest57602: yes.. im running ubuntu on a headset connected to my brain.
[15:08] <Guest57602> mernilio: Modern OS's require lots of memory and a fast processor.  They all have become more and more resource hungry.
[15:08] <bazhang> mernilio, please stop that
[15:08] <bazhang> mernilio, if you have a genuine support question then ask
[15:08] <mernilio> Im asian, and therfore in you mind "gifted" ;-)
[15:09] <Guest57602> mernilio: Very good.  Your issues will be better received on the OT channel.
[15:09] <gundas> hi all, i have a file and folder permissions issue. how can i set up all my files and directories so that the files and directories can be read, written and executed by user "A" and user "B" who belong to group "USERS"?
[15:10] <vargadanis> hello... what packages are there for opengl, glu and sdl dev for C?
[15:10] <llutz> gundas: chgrp -R suers /path/

[15:11] <erUSUL> vargadanis: mesa libs
[15:11] <gundas> llutz: yerp, how about permissions and owners?
[15:11] <vargadanis> erUSUL, really? O_o, ok
[15:11] <gundas> do I need to worry about owners?
[15:11] <gabriel> Hi all, im trying to installed a LifeView LR214 to used with MythTv
[15:11] <erUSUL> !find glut
[15:12] <llutz> gundas: you said "your files/dirs" so i assume you are owner
[15:12] <llutz> gundas: sudo chown -R $you:users /path/          to set user to $you
[15:12] <b33tfr33kr> man, i keep lagging out!  ukebane, try this link: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/gnome-control-center/+spec/gnome-login-resolution
[15:12] <gundas> llutz: well there are multiple owners but if i set the group to USERS that means both users A and B have access yer?
[15:13] <gundas> llutz: be it the user is A or B
[15:13] <gundas> llutz: be it the user who owns it is A or B
[15:13] <llutz> gundas: all members of group "users" have access
[15:13] <gundas> llutz: cool! what about permissions i.e. chmod
[15:13] <masanderi> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNQ1gz8426c
[15:13] <llutz> gundas: set like you need, likely 775/664

[15:22] <rocket16> Hello Fisherman. My friend has a PC with Ubuntu 9.10, and has NVidia Card, and I told him to activate Extra effects. But now, he needs to download drivers, so without downloading drivers, can he do the effects?
[15:22] <abhi_nav> !patience | gabriel
[15:23] <rsk> rocket16 no
[15:23] <scott___> ?
[15:23] <rocket16> rsk: Thanks, then is this the only way?
[15:23] <rsk> rocket16 yes
[15:24] <rocket16> rsk: My Laptop has no cards, still I can enable 3D Effects, so why can't his be pissible?
[15:24] <rocket16> rsk: * possible
[15:24] <rsk> rocket16 evert pc has a videocard
[15:24] <rsk> every*
[15:24] <Azelphur> rsk: wrong
[15:24] <rocket16> rsk: Mine one does not have Graphic card
[15:24] <rocket16> Azelphur: I agree
[15:25] <rsk> rocket16 then how does the signal get sent to the display?
[15:25] <Azelphur> rocket16: but that said, if you don't have graphics hardware, how do you expect to see the 3d effects?
[15:25] <Azelphur> what's the point in enabling them (if that's even possible) if you don't have no graphics device
[15:26] <Azelphur> and I doubt you can enable them without graphics hardware that supports 3d acceleration tbh
[15:26] <disappearedng> I want to find where the sudo apt-get install science-linguistics is installed

[15:28] <rocket16> rsk: But cards may not have 3d accelerations
[15:29] <abhi_nav> rocket16: whats the pc configuration?
[15:29] <rocket16> Anyway, I think downloading drivers is the best way.

[15:35] <rocket16> In Ubuntu 9.10, can extra login screens be activated?

[15:38] <dsnyders> schiellerup, personally, I wouldn't use linux to format NTFS
[15:39] <augustl> this is on a freshly installed ubuntu server, I did run apt-get update
[15:39] <bazhang> schiellerup, its a 60mb download and does ntfs just fine
[15:40] <schiellerup> I have installed Ubuntu, to check it out, but i more like to use WINDOWS again. Ubuntu, have changed my Harddisc file system, to a non-windows. so i have to change my harddisc, to a NTFS
[15:40] <danopia> the Windows installers that i seen offer to reformat the disk
[15:40] <BoondoKLife> schiellerup: Just reinstall windoes, that should formation it for you.
[15:41] <bazhang> schiellerup, well format via windows installer then
[15:41] <BoondoKLife> schiellerup: You may have to tell it to delete the partition first in the installer.
[15:41] <schiellerup> nope, i have tried. it says that it isen't a NTFS file stystem, so i cant
[15:41] <edwardsec> somebody know how to install irssi with ssl support?
[15:42] <schiellerup> ok, im gonna try it now then
[15:42] <BoondoKLife> schiellerup: Do you have an ubuntu live cd? if so pop it in and use the try ubuntu. Then just format it to fat32. Surely the installer you have will atleast recognize that and allow you to format it.
[15:42] <augustl> anyone on openvz?
[15:43] <Arthur___> question is 64 bit ubuntu going to work flawless on a fresh install? i am looking at the software issues any? like in the repos? and java and flash, i was reading in the forums about having to do some fancy command-line stuff to get flash working? the posts look to be better than a year old, or is that not an issue any more?
[15:43] <richthegeek> Arthur__: mostly, yes. But you have to install Flash in a specific way to make it click
[15:43] <richthegeek> on that note, does anyone know
[15:43] <juboba> uhm
[15:44] <richthegeek> how to get Flash working (clicking) on 64-bit?
[15:44] <juboba> Arthur___: I did it once
[15:44] <juboba> but can't remember specifically
[15:44] <juboba> BUT
[15:44] <juboba> I had to come back to 32bits
[15:44] <richthegeek> wow Mogwai on Newsnight .... O_o
[15:44] <Amadiro> I just installed the flashplugin from the repo, and everything worked.
[15:44] <danopia> richthegeek, you have to get adobe's latest official flash plugin
[15:44] <Amadiro> And I haven't found anything else that didn't work so far either
[15:45] <richthegeek> danopia: form the repo or the web?
[15:45] <danopia> i think i used a script to get it from their website
[15:45] <Arthur___> well i have a 64 bit computer now and wanted to know if flash works like installing ubuntu-restricted-xtras or am i going to have to do a walk around?
[15:45] <juboba> because of a printer driver issue, If you go 64bit you have to change everything to 64. I don't know if now there is more software for 64bits...
[15:45] <Amadiro> Arthur___, apt-get install flashplugin-installer and you should be set.
[15:46] <Arthur___> well there is only one way to find out c ya in a few... ;)
[15:46] <BoondoKLife> Arthur___: I run 64 on two laptops and dont have an issue other than cbs.com wont let you watch videos. Wifey loves them soaps.
[15:47] <canthus13> How do I remove all uninstalled packages?
[15:48] <juboba> canthus13:  with synaptic or in the terminal with: sudo apt-get remove [package_name]
[15:48] <richthegeek> canthus13: sudo apt-get autoremove, sudo apt-get clean
[15:48] <canthus13> richthegeek: Apt-get clean is what I'm missing. :)
[15:48] <canthus13> Thanks.
[15:49] <Richiie> Hello i am having problem whit a hard drive
[15:49] <augustl> what should I use for virtualizing/sandboxing? Neither openvz, kvm or xen seems to have an a-z guide on getting up and running.
[15:49] <juboba> does ubuntu tell you that?
[15:49] <juboba> Sun VirtualBox
[15:50] <richthegeek> augustl: package is "virtualbox-ose"
[15:50] <augustl> is there any openvz alternatives? I don't actually need virtualization, I just want sandboxing
[15:50] <Richiie> im having problem whit fdisk im trying to format my hard drive but neither Gparted can do the trick or fdisk /dev/sda1 it only says unable to read /dev/sda1
[15:51] <richthegeek> Richiie: try using a liveCD and the gparted on that
[15:51] <Richiie> richthegeek: i tried that but i am only getting errors
[15:51] <richthegeek> Richiie: are the drives exotice in any way?
[15:51] <Richiie> richthegeek: i cant even boot the gparted live cd when it tries to enter my hard drive i get some kind of i/o buffer errors
[15:51] <marcus_> I am currently multibooting using Mint & Ubuntu. In GParted, how can I see which one is Ubuntu and which is Mint? I have sda1 and sda6.
[15:51] <Richiie> richthegeek: i cant even mount my hard drive
[15:51] <Richiie> is it totally fragged ?
[15:51] <richthegeek> Richiie: sounds like they are failing/failed then
[15:52] <Richiie> richthegeek: yes but how can i just confirm if its totally fragged if i cant neither mount it or fdisk wont do the trick ?
[15:52] <richthegeek> Richiie: if you can't mount it, it's fragged
[15:52] <richthegeek> Richiie: if you are lucky, your BIOS will be able to read the SMART data from the disks
[15:52] <Richiie> i can boot whit the ubuntu 9.10 live cd but when i try to install it i set it to automatically just put in all but then after 15 % i get inpit /output error durin read on /dev/sda
[15:53] <swergas> salut
[15:53] <Richiie> richthegeek: no problem if i lose my data on the file system or the drive
[15:53] <Richiie> i just want a working operating system on it,  but okay thanks then i know its 120% fragged ?
[15:53] <richthegeek> Richiie: try opening "System > Preferences > DIsk Uitility" on teh live CD
[15:53] <Richiie> richthegeek: okay then ?
[15:53] <richthegeek> Richiie: sorry, Admin... it should tell you if the disk is healthy/failing/failed
[15:54] <Richiie> richthegeek: well i can see the Disk 492 GB but where can i detect if its failing ?
[15:54] <chiggavel> Failed to fetch http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/Release  Unable to find expected entry  multiverse/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
[15:54] <swergas> I have a problem, my Nautilus doesn't support sftp in path anymore :( (same for sftp favorite places) any idea ?
[15:55] <Richiie> richthegeek: should i try to create file system via Disk utillity ?
[15:55] <richthegeek> Richiie: no, just that Disk Utility will confirm the health of the disks
[15:55] <Richiie> richthegeek: do i need to press any button to see the health ?
[15:56] <richthegeek> select the relevant harddisks
[15:56] <richthegeek> it should have a SMART Status with a coloured icon in the mid right
[15:56] <histo> swergas: is ssh installed?
[15:56] <Richiie> richthegeek: yes and then ? i tried now to create ext3 filesystem but i get the error message Daemon is inhilbited
[15:56] <richthegeek> Richiie: what is it saying? Healthy or Failing?
[15:56] <richthegeek> Richiie: if the light isn't green, that disk is gone
[15:57] <swergas> histo: yes
[15:57] <ukebane> Question: if I install apache, it doesn't publish immediatly does it? (because I want to use it for local testing only)
[15:57] <histo> swergas: make sure you have sftp at a terminal type in which sftp
[15:57] <Richiie> richthegeek: can you show a pic? what light ?
[15:57] <richthegeek> Richiie: one moment, i'll upload one in about 2 minutes
[15:58] <swergas> histo: /usr/bin/sftp
[15:58] <richthegeek> Richiie: http://richthegeek.dyndns.info:62/diskutil.png
[15:58] <swergas> histo: it ceased to work after an update
[15:58] <Richiie> richthegeek: okay, because i can just say that scheme is unknown and SMART is not available on /dev/sda
[15:58] <mray> hi there! - assuming i install the lucid beta now - will i be able to automatically update to the IDENTICAL lucid when it is released later?
[15:58] <histo> swergas: hrm..
[15:59] <histo> swergas: what version of ubuntu
[15:59] <bazhang> mray, yes
[15:59] <mray> (just by a update)
[15:59] <richthegeek> Richiie: then the disk is *definitely* broken, fragged, borked, destroyed, gone, and no longer living
[15:59] <dsnyders> Richiie, SMART is not available??? How old is the drive?
[15:59] <swergas> histo: jaunty
[15:59] <richthegeek> mray: yes.
[15:59] <Richiie> dsnyders: 1 year
[15:59] <histo> swergas: how are you using it in nautilus so I can test?
[15:59] <histo> swergas: also I would try from the command line to make sure its not an issue with networking or something on thej remote end.
[15:59] <Richiie> dsnyders: yeah it says SMART is not available on /dev/sda
[16:00] <swergas> histo<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[16:00] <mray> bazhang, richthegeek: thanks
[16:00] <swergas> histo: i use it like that
[16:00] <dsnyders> Richiie, I find that very odd.
[16:01] <histo> swergas: how are you going to that location in nautilus
[16:01] <Richiie> dsnyders: well the point is its my friends computer he got himself an virus i think then i tried to install windows on it but obviously he failed and then i want to save the filesystem but i can not mount the disk
[16:01] <histo> swergas: nvm i'm in lucid so nautilus is different.
[16:01] <richthegeek> dsnyders, Richiie: if SMART is not available, fdisk and parted give you errors, and you can't write to it... the disk is broken. There is no more conclusive combination of issues
[16:01] <Richiie> or Gparted live wont do the trick neither can fdisk read from it
[16:01] <richthegeek> Richiie: it's like I was stood over a dead body holding a knife and covered in blood... There is only one possibility
[16:02] <Richiie> and when i automatically want to install ubuntu live cd, you know autiomatically partitonate after 15 % i get error message saying input / output error read on the disk
[16:02] <swergas> histo: from the address bar on top of the window, or from bookmarks in the very top menu
[16:02] <BoondoKLife> Richiie: Sounds like you might have a bad disk
[16:03] <Richiie> BoondoKLife: probably yeah i just want to confirm that its totally dead
[16:03] <swergas> histo: it tells me "Nautilus doesn't recognize sftp places" (translation may vary, i'm using it in french)
[16:03] <Richiie> Linux Mint 8 live cd wont work, Gparted Live wont work, Gparted program wont work, disk utillity dont want to Create filesystem and Fdisk cant Read from the Disk and i cant mount it
[16:04] <BoondoKLife> Richiie: Check out his thread, has some good ideas to try: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=867611
[16:04] <CQ> hello, I have a sata cage where I can hotplug drives, the MB supports it, do I need to do anything special, or just plug and unplug the drives?
[16:04] <richthegeek> Richiie: why are you still asking? It's as conclusive as can be.. the disk is absolutely totally utterly broken and gone
[16:04] <Richiie> and i cant install from live CD whit automatically Partitionating, and i find that really odd i get the error message Input/output error during read on /Dev/sda
[16:04] <swergas> histo: ssh works from commandline i just tested
[16:06] <Milp> how do i make nano not replace chars but rather insert ones?
[16:06] <swergas> histo: my problem is maybe linked to the fact that it doesnt mount drives anymore when plugged
[16:06] <Appetite> press insert on keyboard Milp
[16:06] <Milp> the keyboard of the device has no insert key :/
[16:07] <ukebane> Milp, no "ins" key either?
[16:07] <Milp> nope, its running on a smartphone
[16:08] <Milp> oh wait theres a special key menu
[16:08] <Milp> thanks anyways lol
[16:09] <Richiie> richthegeek: thank you for your time,
[16:09] <Richiie> richthegeek: it is probably dead then, thanks for all of your time
[16:09] <pat_> allo
[16:10] <pat_> french speaking please !!!
[16:10] <richthegeek> !french
[16:10] <bazhang> pat_, /join #ubuntu-fr
[16:10] <ukebane> Milp, which one was it?
[16:12] <denis> hi
[16:12] <denis> i can't find /boot/grub/menu.lst in 10.04
[16:12] <bazhang> denis, its using grub2, #ubuntu+1 for lucid
[16:12] <CyL> how is 10.04 beta going?
[16:12] <denis> wonderful
[16:13] <denis> ok
[16:13] <ukebane> supposedly it released yesterday didn't it?
[16:13] <denis> 18
[16:13] <CyL> I know it is still beta, but is it usefull?
[16:13] <kacper> #ubuntu-pl
[16:13] <Osorpoca> wenassssssssss
[16:13] <Lonely_Troll> Hello everyone!!!11 Please, don't stand up!!!
[16:13] <Osorpoca> qué tal está la peña?
[16:13] <bazhang> ukebane, you can check the topic in #ubuntu+1
[16:13] <richthegeek> CyL: yes
[16:14] <richthegeek> CyL: I am using it right now. It's lovely, bar the mountain of bugs that you have to swerve
[16:14] <richthegeek> CyL: mostly to do with using the Nouveau driver tbf
[16:14] <CyL> I mean, I'm going to deploy ubuntu in a few machines, and I wouldn 't like to deploy 9.10 now, and need to upgrade in less than two months...
[16:15] <CyL> Do you think it is safe to deplay 10.04 right now?
[16:15] <almoxarife> i am not ready to upgrade to lucid, what's in it that would be worthwhile to update karmic to?
[16:15] <richthegeek> CyL: you'll have issues across multiple machines
[16:15] <bazhang> CyL, lucid discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 please
[16:15] <richthegeek> CyL: best to wait until release if you don't have the time/will to babysit each of them for a while
[16:16] <CyL> bazhang: okay... didn't know about that...
[16:16] <richthegeek> bazhang: I think we are almost done, and he is getting help here?
[16:16] <qweqwe> i am having some refresh rate problem with my screen , the max value that i have is 60hrz i have ati driver and LG24 , any idea how i can solve the problem with my refresh rate ?
[16:16] <bazhang> richthegeek, with lucid?
[16:16] <dsnyders> CyL, Is there a specific problem with 9.10, or have you caught a bad case of update-itis?
[16:17] <richthegeek> bazhang: yes it's about Lucid, but it's basically over now and he is not struggling for help. Plus the channel is eerily quiet atm anyway.
[16:17] <babyju> hello..do I need to reboot for the system to reread my changes to sudoers? Can't I kill hup or restart some service
[16:17] <G_A_C> babyju: no restart/HUP is needed
[16:17] <llutz> babyju: just re-login the user changes apply to
[16:17] <bazhang> richthegeek, the proper channel is #ubuntu+1 for lucid, thanks
[16:17] <CyL> dsnyders: no problem, it is just that I'll be deploying a new install on a few macines, and I wouldn 't like to deplay it now, and have to upgrade in those same machines in less than two months
[16:18] <bolex> Running WinXP in Virtualbox makes everything else really slow (naturally). Running it and then changing its nice value to 20 solves this. Currently my VBox launcher icon startsup the machine automatically but if i do gksu nice then it does VBox as admin as well and can't find the machine anymore. I think the solution is to run it normally & renice the process. Any ideas?
[16:18] <abhi_nav> G_A_C: what is HUP?
[16:18] <richthegeek> bazhang: the point of getting people to move over to +1 is to stop "off-topic" becoming the norm, stop lucid questions flooding this one, and so that people who know can help best in the place they are. This is one question, it's specific and short, and there is almost no other conversation occurring.
[16:19] <G_A_C> abhi_nav: it's the "hangup" signal, which can be used to force some daemonised processes to re-read their configuration files on disk without restarting them (which could cause service disruptions)
[16:19] <abhi_nav> G_A_C: how?
[16:19] <G_A_C> abhi_nav: "how?" as in....?
[16:19] <abhi_nav> G_A_C: just can you give example?
[16:20] <abhi_nav> G_A_C: how to hangup?
[16:20] <dsnyders> CyL, If everything is working fine there's no need to upgrade.  You could happily run 9.10 for years.
[16:20] <G_A_C> abhi_nav: kill -HUP $PID
[16:20] <G_A_C> abhi_nav: possibly killall -HUP $NAME as well but I've never tried that
[16:20] <abhi_nav> G_A_C: hmm, thank you
[16:21] <G_A_C> abhi_nav: you're welcome
[16:21] <llutz> G_A_C: works too
[16:21] <abhi_nav> G_A_C: :-)
[16:22] <babyju> thanks G_A_C and llutz. I added a local group ALL=(ALL) ALL but I seem to not be getting the additional commands available to the non-root user.
[16:22] <almoxarife> kill -9 -1 works for me abhi_nav
[16:22] <babyju> How can I tell the non-root user got the new sudoers reference of ALL
[16:23] <abhi_nav> almoxarife: it works for me too. but is it HUP as described by G_A_C?
[16:23] <White> How do I connect Ubuntu computer to Vista to transfer files?
[16:23] <G_A_C> babyju: is your line properly formatted?
[16:23] <guntbert> bolex: and why not just nice VirtualBox ?
[16:23] <G_A_C> babyju: "%group ALL=(ALL) ALL" works for me, FYI
[16:24] <babyju> G_A_C, I used visudo
[16:24] <abhi_nav> !samba | White
[16:24] <bolex> gruntbert: ?
[16:24] <bolex> guntbert: You mean without the sudo?
[16:24] <bolex> oh wait
[16:24] <White> I have samba installed, and it lets windows talk to ubuntu, but i cant get to vista...
[16:24] <guntbert> bolex: yes
[16:24] <almoxarife> White: you need to share a folder in both, samba takes care of the ubuntu share
[16:25] <abhi_nav> White: ????? whats the difference between windows and vista then?
[16:25] <bolex> guntbert: Ahh! :)
[16:25] <White> i just said windows instead of vista
[16:25] <bolex> guntbert: Thanks!
[16:25] <G_A_C> babyju: what's the line you're having problems with?
[16:25] <White> i need to share a folder in both? install samba on vista?
[16:25] <ghost> hi
[16:25] <guntbert> bolex: np -- anyone can increase the niceness of a program
[16:26] <almoxarife> White: vista must be seen by ubuntu to share, samba on ubuntu
[16:26] <babyju> %consoleadmins ALL=(ALL) ALL
[16:26] <White> i look through the network on ubuntu and it see's vista, but it says it cant retrieve a share server list, or something like that
[16:27] <G_A_C> babyju: and if you're logged in as the account you want to use, what does the output of "id" from a command line show?
[16:27] <lusitanius> greetings ! is there any specific channel for wireless related issues ?
[16:27] <babyju> I did useradd -u 501 -G consoledmins username
[16:27] <almoxarife> White: does vista see ubuntu?
[16:27] <White> yes
[16:28] <pablo> ola
[16:28] <G_A_C> try logging out and back in again and try that. it sounds like you've taken the right steps (adding the user to the right group etc) but group memberships are only applied when you first login
[16:28] <babyju> uid=501(aedwardsx) gid=501(aedwardsx) groups=501(aedwardsx),5000(consoleadmins)
[16:28] <ubuntubama> Enter text here...
[16:28] <almoxarife> white: make one of your user folders a shared folder, say ''public'??
[16:29] <White> yea, public downloads, to be precise...but once i hit share, and then search for shared folders and files, and vista says, None Found...
[16:30] <almoxarife> white: when did you install samba?
[16:30] <llutz> babyju: wouldn't it have been easier, just to add you users to "admin"? now you have 2 groups with identical sudo-right
[16:30] <White> umm, last night
[16:30] <hdpb> how do i connect to the internet via terminal?  i have no mouse/touchpad control
[16:31] <Wallace> I have 2 external/USB HDDs, which, via fstab, mount when my box comes up.  These live on sdb1 and sdc1.  Recently, I rebooted, and they appear to have swapped, so the contents of my "parition A" and "parition B" appear to have effectivly exchanged contents.  Is there any way that I can ensure that these drives appear on the same device at each boot?
[16:31] <almoxarife> white: I got issues here now, some one else may help you
[16:31] <erUSUL> hdpb: it depends on what type of connection you have wifi to router?
[16:31] <G_A_C> Wallace: you can mount them by UUID rather than device name if they're mounted in fstab
[16:32] <White> ok
[16:32] <Wallace> GAC: how do I find out the UUID?
[16:32] <hdpb> wifi wap
[16:32] <G_A_C> Wallace: I can't remember how to read the UUID though ;)
[16:32] <White> thanks for trying
[16:32] <llutz> Wallace: blkid
[16:32] <babyju> G_A_C, True. I think it's logical.
[16:32] <Wallace> k, thx gac/llutz :)
[16:32] <hdpb> erUSUL:  wifi with wap encryption
[16:33] <erUSUL> hdpb: that complicates things quite you have to use wpa_suplicant by hand
[16:33] <ranjan> can any body can tell me how to share internet conection from ubuntu macine to an xp macine i am having an private set of values for this . .. on my ubuntu macine .. any help would be of great help ..
[16:33] <erUSUL> !wifi
[16:33]  * matelot does updating WINE require re-install of apps ?
[16:33] <erUSUL> !ics | ranjan
[16:33] <erUSUL> matelot: no
[16:34] <matelot> erUSUL: thanks, how to update WINE ?
[16:35] <hdpb> erUSUL: what if i go wired to the router?
[16:36] <matelot> erUSUL: nm, I found it
[16:36] <erUSUL> hdpb: that should be as easy as « sudo dhclient eth0 »
[16:36] <erUSUL> matelot: wine mantains its own ppa with up to date packages
[16:36] <erUSUL> !ppa
[16:37] <bazhang> thought it was listed in #winehq
[16:37] <hdpb> erUSUL: eth"zero"?
[16:37] <erUSUL> hdpb: correct that should be the iface name of your ethernet port
[16:39] <carlosgaldino> Hi, I'm having some problems with my internet connection. Sometimes the connection fails and any of the services(aMSN, Chrome or Firefox) works because the host can't be resolved but if I just restart the computer everything comes to normal again and I also checked with other computers at my LAN and for them this problem never happens. The connection still working while my computer can't resolve the hosts.
[16:40] <carlosgaldino> Any idea about what it can be?
[16:42] <YurtleTheTurtle> can anyone recommend a guide to follow for full system encryption?
[16:42] <abhi_nav> YurtleTheTurtle: try truecrypt
[16:42] <researcher1> where can I get a list of commands on networking?
[16:43] <abhi_nav> researcher1: http://www.linuxguide.it/command_line/linux_commands_en.html
[16:43] <YurtleTheTurtle> abhi_nav, i use truecrypt for my 2nd and 3rd hdd, but I'm looking for the primary hdd to be encrypted as well, and as far as I know truecyrpt only provides primary drive encryption for windows
[16:43] <researcher1> thanks Abhi_nav
[16:43] <skyze> eae
[16:43] <abhi_nav> researcher1: :D

[16:44] <carlosgaldino> Hi, I'm having some problems with my internet connection. Sometimes the connection fails and any of the services(aMSN, Chrome or Firefox) works because the host can't be resolved but if I just restart the computer everything comes to normal again and I also checked with other computers at my LAN and for them this problem never happens. The connection still working while my computer can't resolve the hosts.

[16:45] <abhi_nav> flws means?
[16:46] <Blackbird> I shall guess "thank you" in some weird abbreviation
[16:46] <abhi_nav> Blackbird :-)
[16:47] <carlosgaldino> flws, means "Bye"
[16:47] <abhi_nav> carlosgaldino: oohh, I see, hmm
[16:47] <Blackbird> if you are not assuming that, how did you gather such an assumption?
[16:48] <abhi_nav> Blackbird: you are talking to me?

[16:48] <spirosvii> exei asxolh8ei kaneis me to https://www.taxisnet.gr/web/default2.html ? den mporw na kanw login re gmt
[16:48] <spirosvii> oops wrong room
[16:48] <Blackbird> abhi_nav: No, to carlosgaldino.
[16:48] <Ashok> how modify photos in ubuntu 9.10 im new to ubuntu any one help me
[16:49] <Red_HamsterX> carlosgaldino, is it possible that you have two DHCP servers on your network, one of which is giving the system having problems bad DNS information?
[16:49] <abhi_nav> Blackbird: ohh yah, sure!!!
[16:49] <mkquist> Ashok: gimp
[16:49] <carlosgaldino> Blackbird, what did you say?
[16:49] <Ashok> mkq
[16:50] <Blackbird> carlosgaldino: Did you just assume that meant "Bye" or do you actually know how it is?
[16:50] <Blackbird> Flws doesn't really seem like much more than gibberish or a bizarre abbreviation to me.
[16:50] <Nijverheid> how do I show the free space left on the filesystem from command-line?
[16:50] <Ashok> mkquist:what is gimp
[16:51] <G_A_C> Nijverheid: df -h
[16:51] <carlosgaldino> Red_HamsterX, yes it's possible because I use the wireless and the wired network at the same time and coincidence or not this problem only happens when the wireless appears offline
[16:51] <carlosgaldino> Blackbird, I know that because I speak portuguese.
[16:51] <abhi_nav> !gimp | Ashok
[16:51] <carlosgaldino> Blackbird, it's one slang.
[16:52] <Nijverheid> G_A_C: thanks ;)
[16:52] <Red_HamsterX> carlosgaldino, /etc/resolv.conf, which stores DNS lookup information, is probably being overwritten with bogus data whenever the Wireless connection drops and has to be re-established. Start troubleshooting by looking into that or just use one connection type at a time.
[16:54] <mkquist> Ashok: !gimp
[16:54] <carlosgaldino> Red_HamsterX, http://pastie.org/878670 that's what i got and when i was using both types i had just the "lan" and the same IP added to the file
[16:55] <Ashok> to alter pic i need to downloas gimp or what
[16:55] <Red_HamsterX> carlosgaldino, is that server actually a DNS server?
[16:55] <Red_HamsterX> Ashok, it should be installed by default. Look under the Graphics menu.
[16:56] <carlosgaldino> Red_HamsterX, that's the IP for the Router at my LAN here
[16:56] <Red_HamsterX> carlosgaldino, does it support DNS forwarding?
[16:56] <Ashok> red_hamsterx:how yo look in graphics menu
[16:57] <mkquist> Ashok: you looking for image manipulation? then its an option
[16:57] <Red_HamsterX> Ashok, you might want to join #ubuntu-beginners.
[16:57] <hexdump_> hey can I delete the files in /var/cache/apt/archives ?
[16:57] <carlosgaldino> Red_HamsterX, I'm not sure but I think it supports.
[16:57] <Ashok> mkquist:ya pic manipulation
[16:58] <Ashok> plz tel me step by step
[16:58] <Guest57602> Ashok: I highly recommend gimp
[16:58] <hexdump_> Ashok:  what are you trying to do?
[16:58] <Red_HamsterX> carlosgaldino, it will either need to be configured to point at your ISP's DNS servers or told to advertise your ISP's DNS servers as part of its DHCP process.
[16:58] <mkquist> Ashok: gimp is like the open source photoshop... id guess
[16:58] <sick_fox> Ashok, GIMP ;-)
[16:58] <hexdump_> btw does anyone know if I can delete /var/cache/apt/archives?
[16:59] <hexdump_> Ashok:  there is a flash program out for linux called moho
[16:59] <Ashok> hexdump:i want to improve picture clarity
[16:59] <Red_HamsterX> hexdump_, sudo aptitude clean should handle that for you.
[16:59] <hexdump_> Red_HamsterX:  cool thanks for the tip
[16:59] <troo> zz
[16:59] <carlosgaldino> Red_HamsterX, how?
[16:59] <Ashok> where is that flash program i mean wr can i find it
[16:59] <hexdump_> Red_HamsterX:  nice...
[16:59] <Tom22> Hello. Could someone who is familiar with Yakuake help me?
[17:00] <hexdump_> Ashok:  read a little bit man
[17:00] <hexdump_> Ashok:  you can automatically get it
[17:00] <Red_HamsterX> carlosgaldino, please consult your router's manuals. It varies greatly by manufacturer and model.
[17:00] <hexdump_> either from flash website plugin or I think you can get it using apt-get install
[17:00] <Guest57602> Ashok: Digital images that are out of focus are a bit hard to do much with.  If you size them down, they will look a little better but other than that, well you just need something decent to work with.
[17:00] <hexdump_> Ashok:  you need to make sure your libflashplayer.so is in your firefox plugin directory if you download manually
[17:01] <hexdump_> Ashok:  Moho is the only flash for linux software I know of
[17:01] <Ashok> k tc guys
[17:01] <Ashok> k tx guys
[17:02] <ugliefrog> how do u take out gnome3 and go back to the previoes gnome

[17:02] <tehbaut> how do I DD to a blank DVD?
[17:03] <hexdump_> tehbaut: dd if=/dev/cdrom of=~/cdrom_image.iso
[17:03] <hexdump_> if = input file of= output file
[17:03] <hexdump_> or I think genisoimage
[17:03] <tehbaut> er, to, not from
[17:03] <tehbaut> I wanna backup a recovery partition
[17:03] <histo> tehbaut: you don't use dd to blank a dvd
[17:03] <tehbaut> to DVD
[17:03] <sick_fox> tehbaut I wanna the same thing
[17:03] <histo> tehbaut: use partimage
[17:04] <Tom22> Can anyone help me with Yakuake?
[17:04] <sick_fox> histo, thnx
[17:04] <histo> tehbaut: sick_fox you can make an image of a drive then just burn it to a disk with cdrecord
[17:04] <Guest57602> tehbaut: hexdump_ is telling you how to make an ISO image from a DVD that has data on it.
[17:04] <histo> tehbaut: sick_fox if you just want to backup a dvd there are other ways
[17:05] <histo> tehbaut: what are you tryign to do exactly?
[17:05] <hexdump_> Guest57602:  you can make it from a directory too.
[17:05] <tehbaut> Guest57602: yes, I gathered that
[17:05] <histo> hexdump_: I don't think dd works on directories
[17:05] <Guest57602> hexdump_: Yes you are correct.

[17:06] <coop> have vista/9.10 partitioned for dual boot. but cannot boot into ubuntu partition, if i try reinstalling and go into the linux partitioner, it sees the existing 9.10 installation, just wont boot?
[17:06] <hexdump_> histo:  you may be right because I've had an error stating "it's a directory" or something
[17:06] <hexdump_> histo:  what about genisoimage?
[17:06] <sick_fox> coop try live cd, mount partition and write sudo update-grub2
[17:07] <medianmajik> coop: is it a grub problem?  Sounds like you installed windows after ubuntu, which could mean it overwrote he grub menu
[17:07] <hexdump_> I don't see why he just doesn't createa small seperate partition.
[17:07] <medianmajik> coop: what sick_fox says
[17:07] <histo> hexdump_: I'm not sure what he is trying to do exactly
[17:07] <TomLeyton> Hello... I have a question, for some reason my graphics card is not recognizable in the hardware drivers area... what should I do?
[17:07] <coop> medianmajik: vista first, i can boot from cd and see that grub is instaled
[17:07] <histo> TomLeyton: what type of card is it?
[17:07] <ultimate_breakne> code blocks ide of c++ not working on karmic koala
[17:08] <hexdump_> tehbaut:  use cfdisk but be careful
[17:08] <medianmajik> TomLeyton: have you tried installing restricted extras?
[17:08] <hexdump_> tehbaut:  if you are going to be switching between two operating systems maybe make it in FAT
[17:08] <coop> sick_fox: was thinking grub 2
[17:09] <sick_fox> coop yes, just update grub too see it correctly
[17:09] <ugliefrog> help please....i was trying out gnome 3 didnt like it then removed it...now i have no panels....how do i get it back
[17:09] <tehbaut> hexdump_: I just want to backup this recovery partition, with the ability to restore it later
[17:09] <ChogyDan> ugliefrog: are you running metacity?
[17:09] <histo> tehbaut: you can use partimage and make an image of the recover partition. Then just use cdrecord to burn the image to a dvd so that way its backed up
[17:09] <sick_fox> ugliefrog, have you tried synaptic?
[17:09] <histo> tehbaut: if you ever have to restore you just use partimage to put it back
[17:09] <tehbaut> histo: and how do I restore it later... ah, ok

[17:10] <hexdump_> alright gtg get back to verk
[17:10] <sick_fox> ultimate_breakne it works on 9.10
[17:10] <histo> tehbaut: use partimage
[17:10] <histo> tehbaut: they dont' understand the question completely
[17:10] <tehbaut> what's the benefit of partimage over dd?
[17:10] <Time`s_Witness> Hey.. my numpad suddenly stopped working :| And i didn't change the keyboard layout. Any idea what happened ?
[17:10] <ChogyDan> ugliefrog: have you removed the packages?  how did you install it?
[17:10] <tehbaut> other than risk
[17:10] <Rabbitbunny> Time`s_Witness: Numlock?
[17:10] <histo> tehbaut: dd is a sector for sector copy including the empty space
[17:11] <histo> tehbaut: partimage is specificaly mad to image partitions and it will only backup the used space.
[17:11] <Time`s_Witness> nop, not even the + signs work
[17:11] <Guest57602> tehbaut: dd if=/dev/cdrom of=~/cdrom_image.iso ; cdrecord -v dev=1,0,0 ~/cdrom_image.iso  #May be what you are looking for.
[17:11] <Time`s_Witness> or the slash

[17:11] <histo> Guest57602: thats not what he is trying to do
[17:11] <ultimate_breakne> code blocks ide of c++ not working on karmic koala
[17:11] <ultimate_breakne> kindly help
[17:11] <histo> Guest57602: he is backign up a recovery partition on the machine not a cd.

[17:11] <histo> tehbaut: let me find you a link explaining partimage
[17:12] <tehbaut> ok
[17:12] <Guest57602> histo: Yes, that was a typo, just corrected it.
[17:12] <Time`s_Witness> my numpad suddenly stopped working :| And i didn't change the keyboard layout, including the /+-* keys, its not about numlock. :S Any idea what happened ?
[17:12] <mint> what would be your moast recomended moast stable version of ubuntu? which one is easy to configure and has an abillity to run games without lag on a pretty fast computer?
[17:13] <histo> tehbaut:
[17:13] <histo> tehbaut: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DriveImaging
[17:13] <Guest57602> tehbaut: Where /dev/hda1 is the partition you want to back up.  And where 1,0,0 is the address of  your  DVD burner.
[17:13] <tehbaut> Otacon22: just out of curiosity... for future reference, what if you have two cd/dvd drives? what does /dev/cdrom become then?
[17:13] <histo> tehbaut: that will explain partimage. Once you create the image you can backit up on whatever you want.
[17:13] <callaghan> I tried to establish a remote connection from machine A (Windows) to machine B (Ubuntu) via UltraVNC, but when I connect and move the mouse around and do stuff, although it is happening on machine B, I never see it on the screen of machine A, just the initial screenshot I get right after connecting. Any suggestions?
[17:13] <mint> what is the moast recommended version of ubuntu? anyone?
[17:13] <llutz> Guest57602: you don't wanto write an hdd-image raw to cdr
[17:13] <histo> tehbaut: that link also epxlains dd and why you want to use partimage instead
[17:13] <sick_fox> mint, depends on many factors
[17:13] <histo> mint: 9.10 is current 8.04 is LTS
[17:13] <katakaio> mint: It depends on your needs. If stability is a must, go with the LTS release
[17:13] <tehbaut> s/Otacon22/OT
[17:14] <Guest57602> tehbaut: And cdrecore -scanbus   #Will tell you the address to your DVD burner.
[17:14] <katakaio> mint: If you want the most current release, go with 9.10
[17:14] <tehbaut> Off Topic: just out of curiosity... for future reference, what if you have two cd/dvd drives? what does /dev/cdrom become then?
[17:14] <histo> mint: if its just a home machine use 9.10 if its business related or production use 8.04
[17:14] <Guest57602> tehbaut: cdrecord  #Another typo.
[17:14] <sick_fox> mint, 9.10 ;-)
[17:14] <katakaio> mint: I second histo. I like to use 9.10 on my laptop and 8.04 LTS on my server.
[17:14] <histo> tehbaut: usually cdrom1 or cdrom2 etc... my system uses /dev/sr0
[17:14] <tehbaut> I can't trust typos :P
[17:15] <mint> but , mint is so messy and crash , and even quake 3 lags
[17:15] <tehbaut> histo: ok, thanks

[17:16] <mint> quake live lags, some times when i run some processes they might dont want to stop so i have to restart the computer to get them down
[17:16] <histo> tehbaut: nah but you can instnall it easily with sudo apt-get install partimage   or you can use the add/remove
[17:16] <katakaio> mint: Are you using a native version of Quake 3, or are you running it in Wine or some other emulator?
[17:16] <mint> sudo killall procname dont allways work
[17:16] <mint> native version
[17:16] <mint> and quake live, trough the firefox browser
[17:16] <histo> tehbaut: you can even install it whil running the livecd
