[15:54] <Ben_90> n8tuser: when im in the standard terminal i type in "su"
[15:54] <n8tuser> Morwind-> did you wait long enuff? can you get a console via  ctrl+alt+F1 ?
[15:54] <Ben_90> n8tuser: and it asks me for a password and i type it and it works.
[15:54] <n8tuser> Ben_90-> su what? complete your command so we can understand what you're doing
[15:54] <Morwind> I waited 5 minutes. And no I did not try that.
[15:55] <Dr_Willis> su is normally disabled on a ubuntu system. unless you created a root user password  (plus i thought one used 'su -'  to get to a root terminal normally)
[15:55] <Ben_90> n8tuser: the "su" command is so i can be root
[15:55] <n8tuser> Ben_90-> su by itself does not change you to a new yser
[15:55] <Pici> Ben_90: Are you running Ubuntu?
[15:55] <Xpistos|work> Can I load ubuntu without having the gui run by default?
[15:55] <Ben_90> ues
[15:55] <Ben_90> 9.04
[15:55] <Ben_90> yes
[15:55] <Ben_90> yes*
[15:55] <FloodBot3> Ben_90: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:55] <Dr_Willis> Xpistos|work:  disable the gdm or kdm service.  and it will go to the console
[15:56] <n8tuser> Xpistos|work-> yes
[15:56] <Pici> Ben_90: It sounds like you have set a password for the root account.
[15:56] <Xpistos|work> Dr_Willis: Then if I want to run Gnome just type gdm on the command line?
[15:56] <Doc_Lappy> su itself will just give you root, which isn't a good idea to do everything in root so becareful instead use sudo cmd
[15:56] <Dr_Willis> Xpistos|work:  a user could use 'startx'
[15:56] <Ben_90> n8tuser?
[15:56] <Xpistos|work> okay
[15:56] <Dr_Willis> Xpistos|work:  or start the gdm service to spawn gdm.. 'sudo service gdm start'
[15:56] <n8tuser> Ben_90-> su by itself does not change you to a new user nor to root
[15:56] <Xpistos|work> Dr_Willis: How do I disable it ?
[15:56] <usb333> [17:50] <usb333> hello, I have a problem in my system. It doesn't load the desktop after the login screen. I'm now talking from a web-based IRC client through Firefox from the Failsafe Terminal mode. [17:50] <usb333> I used wubi to install it if that has anything to do with the problem [17:50] <usb333> all i can see is my background and my cursor
[15:57] <Pici> n8tuser: yes it does, if you have the root account unlocked.
[15:57] <Ben_90> n8tuser: how do i restore the sudoers file?
[15:57] <Dr_Willis> Xpistos|work:  use 'bum' or the update-rc.d command
[15:57] <nocturno35> Pici can you help me with an encrypted folder problem? thank you
[15:57] <Xpistos|work> Dr_Willis: Okay, so I am in the gui and I want to disable it on start up and I type 'bum"
[15:57] <Dr_Willis> Ben_90:  boot live cd.  in a terminaluse 'sudo -s'   to get root shell.. mount the filesystem, fix the file
[15:57] <Dr_Willis> !info bum | Xpistos|work
[15:58] <Ben_90> ok brb
[15:58] <Dr_Willis> Xpistos|work:  if you have bum installed... its a X based tool.
[15:58] <Pici> nocturno35: I have not set that up on any of my installs, I'm afraid I cannot help.
[15:58] <Ben_90> i get this message "sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0660, should be 0440"
[15:58] <Doc_Lappy> so anybody know anything about sound, mine just stopped working yesterday for no apparent reason other than I shut it off and back on
[15:58] <nocturno35> Pici ok, thank you anyway :)
[15:58] <wildc4rd> afternoon all
[15:59] <IndyGunFreak> Doc_Lappy: check all the obvious stuff, volume sliders, speakers, not muted, etc..?
[15:59] <Pici> Ben_90: 1) chmod it back to 0440, 2) use visudo in the future for modifying the file 3) by default you should just need to add users to the admin group instead of modifying the file.
[15:59] <Dr_Willis> Ben_90:  so you will want to use the command 'sudo chmod 0440 /etc/sudoers'  from a live cd.. or rescue mode.   normally
[15:59] <dbugger> Hey guys! My bluetooth applet crashed. How can I restart it?
[15:59] <Doc_Lappy> nope not muted and checked the master volume and volume on the player
[16:00] <IndyGunFreak> Doc_Lappy: is it just an application thats not giving you audio, or you're getting no audio at all.
[16:00] <Ben_90> Pici: how do i chmod the file back to 0440?
[16:00] <Doc_Lappy> I did go thru a tutorial to fix it online installing  abunch of stuff for pulse to get it to work but nothing yet
[16:00] <Doc_Lappy> no audio at all
[16:00] <Pici> Ben_90: chmod 0440 /etc/sudoers
[16:00] <Dr_Willis> Ben_90:  so you will want to use the command 'sudo chmod 0440 /etc/sudoers'  from a live cd.. or rescue mode.   normally
[16:00] <Doc_Lappy> except a beep when I shut it down
[16:01] <Xpistos|work> Dr_Willis: installing bum now
[16:01] <Pici> !enter | Doc_Lappy
[16:01] <IndyGunFreak> Doc_Lappy: hmm, i dunno, i usually keep everything set to alsa.
[16:01] <Raydiation> is there some program where i can insert and watch my monthly expenses?
[16:02] <Raydiation> im trying gnucash atm but its really bloated
[16:02] <Doc_Lappy> k thanks indy, I've changed it to both pulse and alsa then put it back to auto like it was before
[16:02] <IndyGunFreak> Raydiation: really?.. i find gnucash pretty easy, but there's others out there.
[16:03] <usb333> Pici : [17:50] <usb333> hello, I have a problem in my system. It doesn't load the desktop after the login screen. I'm now talking from a web-based IRC client through Firefox from the Failsafe Terminal mode. [17:50] <usb333> I used wubi to install it if that has anything to do with the problem [17:50] <usb333> all i can see is my background and my cursor
[16:03] <Ben_90> thanks a bunch. :)
[16:03] <sipior> "bloated" does not mean "does more than i need it to" :-)
[16:03] <ZenBSDi> trying now
[16:03] <Raydiation> hehe
[16:03] <unplug>  is there some program I can install on my netbook that will sound off an alarm whenever my power cable is unplugged?
[16:03] <IndyGunFreak> Raydiation: are you just looking for a basic checking account tracker?
[16:04] <Raydiation> IndyGunFreak: just something to get an overview where i spent my money
[16:05] <unplug> that will sound off a loud alarm when some unplugs the power cable.
[16:05] <IndyGunFreak> Raydiation: only other one i've used, is grisby... its halfway decent... look ehre at the link and read about them, most of these are in the repositories, but you might have to compile a few from source...  http://linuxappfinder.com/alternatives?search_text=money
[16:05] <usb333> anyone :( .. any help is highly appreciated
[16:05] <Raydiation> IndyGunFreak: ty
[16:05] <Mrokii> hello. I would like to know how likely it is that an update to "libglib" could make the system unstable. Because I updated that some days ago through Synaptic and since then it  sems that Ubuntu acts strangely (crashes and other things).
[16:05] <abgalphabet> can "Loading GRUB..." msg be hidden or not display at all during boot
[16:06] <Mike_lifeguard> Hi, I'm trying to set up an ssh server, but I am getting either "connection denied" or "permission denied" depending on what port I am listening on. I have no iptables rules, and port forwarding for both ports I'm trying to use is set up.
[16:07] <Chousuke> Mrokii: Well, glib is commonly used, so it is possible that if something's wrong with it many things will break.
[16:07] <Doc_Lappy> can you reinstall ubuntu over another ubuntu on a dual install without effecting the winxp that's on it?
[16:07] <Mrokii> Chousuke:  One of the symptoms was that I was just put back to Ubuntus login-screen without any warning.
[16:08] <Mrokii> Chousuke:  And I am thinking about reverting to the version I had installed before
[16:08] <Chousuke> Mrokii: it's hard to tell what's crashing
[16:08] <Chousuke> Mrokii: you might want to check launchpad for glib bugs reported
[16:09] <sahil> is there another way to reload grub loader which once overwrit by the window installation ...without usng commands??
[16:09] <Mrokii> Chousuke:  Sure, I think so, too. But it's a strange coincidence that Ubuntu started acting strangely right after this update
[16:09] <Doc_Lappy> on a dual boot of winxp/ubuntu can I replace the ubunt with a new one? I'd have to transfer some files like todays homework to cd but could do that if possible without having to screw up my winxp and have to reinstall winxp and then ubuntu as usual
[16:09] <Chousuke> Mrokii: yeah. it does sound likely that something's wrong with it.
[16:10] <Chousuke> Mrokii: was it a security update or are you using karmic?
[16:10] <Raydiation> IndyGunFreak: wow, grisbi is nice, exactly what i was looking for, ty
[16:10] <switchgirl1> how to insert a tick into gimp?
[16:10] <switchgirl1> I'm filling a form in
[16:11] <Mrokii> Chousuke:  I am using Jaunty (64-bit) and it wasn't a security update. I think what it said something of a backport.
[16:11] <Chousuke> hmm :/
[16:11] <IndyGunFreak> Raydiation: no prob... its a pretty good program, but like i said, i like gnucash myself... glad it worked for you.
[16:11] <Chousuke> why would anyone backport glib
[16:12] <Chousuke> Mrokii: hm, just to clarify, is it glib or glib2?
[16:12] <Mrokii> Chousuke:  I think  it mentioned something about backporting from Karmic, whatever that really means. I am not a programmer.
[16:12] <EvilRoey> Hola.  Any chance that Ubuntu 9.10 will come with kernel 2.6.32?
[16:12] <lc> how do i check which progams are using certian ports?
[16:12] <EvilRoey> lsof -i <port>
[16:12] <EvilRoey> er
[16:12] <Pici> EvilRoey: None. And karmic discussion/support really belongs in #ubuntu+1
[16:12] <Chousuke> Mrokii: which repository did you install it from? :/
[16:12] <EvilRoey> lsof -i:<port>
[16:12] <EvilRoey> Pici:  thanks.
[16:13] <IndyGunFreak> Doc_Lappy: no, you could reinstall over your old ubuntu install... you'd just have to do manual partitioning at the partitioning stage, and tell it to install over the old partitions.
[16:13] <liaol> ?
[16:13] <Mrokii> Chousuke:  Can I see somewhere which repository was used?
[16:13] <nexsja> 'ello. If i reinstall mysql will i lose all my databases?
[16:13] <Chousuke> Mrokii: I can't think of any way
[16:14] <Othman> no nexsaja
[16:14] <Othman> it will remain
[16:14] <Chousuke> Mrokii: can you tell the exact name of the package? libglib does not exist.
[16:14] <Xaifas> When I try to open an whateverfile.o (object code file) after compiling something in C, i cannot open it , gives me unknown kind of file or something like that O.o
[16:14] <Doc_Lappy> k indy how do I do that reinstall then I'll get stuff burned that I can and do it because I can't stand not having sound on ubuntu to listen to music or watch youtube videos and stuff
[16:14] <Othman> but it's good to do a backip
[16:14] <Xaifas> Isnt ubuntu supposed to open the file in gedit or whatever?
[16:15] <Mrokii> Chousuke:  According to Synaptic: libglib2.0-0 (2.20.1-0ubuntu2) to 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.1, along with -dev and -data-files
[16:15] <Doc_Lappy> just select instead of intire disk or whatever the other option and slide the bar over to where the old one is?
[16:15] <n8tuser> unplug i have an idea, see if you unplugging the power cord triggers a interrupt event
[16:15] <IndyGunFreak> Doc_Lappy: well... how i usually do it(AFTER BACKING UP), is boot the CD, when it comes to the partitioning stage, go to manual, and delete the old Ubuntu partitions, then set up the new partitions....
[16:16] <Chousuke> Mrokii: that doesn't seem to be a backport. looks like the latest version in jaunty
[16:16] <Doc_Lappy> k I'm just not sure how to do it 'manually' that doesn't take me to terminal or anything does it indy?
[16:16] <Mrokii> Chousuke:  As I said, I am not quite sure about that messge. Could be that I am mxing things up. Though the important part is the coincidence of crashes and upgrading
[16:16] <Doc_Lappy> but just the regular screen
[16:17] <usb333> [17:50] <usb333> hello, I have a problem in my system. It doesn't load the desktop after the login screen. I'm now talking from a web-based IRC client through Firefox from the Failsafe Terminal mode. [17:50] <usb333> I used wubi to install it if that has anything to do with the problem [17:50] <usb333> all i can see is my background and my cursor
[16:17] <sipior> Xaifas: well, you'll probably want to use a hex editor for viewing/modifying object files. unless gedit has a hex plugin? (could be) "gedit foo.o" should still work.
[16:17] <IndyGunFreak> Doc_Lappy: no, not a CLI... its pretty easy.. if you're planning to do this now, I'll be here a while.
[16:17] <xipi> hi, can i dare to use karmic as production system, already?
[16:17] <blackjak> could anyone help me determining where should I put this patch  http://tiny.cc/HXzzr in order to run it successfully
[16:17] <sipior> xipi: no.
[16:17] <xipi> sipior: is it still that shaky?
[16:18] <Othman> how to lnch an application as root ?
[16:18] <Mrokii> Chousuke:  And therefore I am thinking to reverting back to the last version, just to give it a test. I saw that that is possible via Synaptic
[16:18] <xipi> Othman: use sudo
[16:18] <sipior> xipi: well, "beta"
[16:18] <Chousuke> Mrokii: run "dpkg -l libglib2.0-0" to see the exact version you have installed now
[16:18] <Doc_Lappy> k thanks indy but I don't have another pc so I'll have to use my winxp to do it assuming I don't mess it up while removing the ubuntu partition, never done that before so not sure what I'm doing but ill give it a shot, thanks
[16:18] <xipi> sipior: sometimes a beta version runs more stable than the previous stable
[16:19] <IndyGunFreak> Doc_Lappy: type this w/o quotes, and i'll show you somethng that may help you understand this a bit.. "/join #indygunfreak"
[16:19] <lanny> Does anyone know why when I type 'TM' in a text entry I get a little face symbol?  And more importantly how to stop it?
[16:19] <Othman> xipi sudo followed by the name of app
[16:19] <Mrokii> Chousuke:  ii  libglib2.0-0   2.20.1-0ubuntu The GLib library of C routines
[16:19] <xipi> Othman: sure
[16:20] <bazhang> xipi, karmic discussion in #ubuntu+1
[16:20] <unplug> n8tuser, it does not. i am not after a battery monitoring application. what i am after is an ALARM that will let my flatmates or yours truly know whenever someone is trying to take away my netbook without my permission
[16:20] <Othman> thx
[16:20] <xipi> bazhang: thanks
[16:20] <sipior> xipi: that's very optimistic :-) do what you want, but i'd certainly wait for a proper release.
[16:20] <Chousuke> Mrokii: meh, the version string gets cut at the relevant part ;P
[16:20] <Chousuke> Mrokii: oh well, very likely it's the right one.
[16:20] <xipi> sipior: understand
[16:20] <Mrokii> Chousuke: The right one? In which sense? The cause of the problems or what?
[16:20] <Chousuke> Mrokii: the one that is most recent for jaunty
[16:20] <Chousuke> Mrokii: I'm just trying to ensure you haven't got some funky version installd
[16:24] <Mrokii> Chousuke:  I have just looked at the properties of glib in Synaptic, and it shows this: "2.20.1-0ubuntu2.1 (jaunty-updates)
[16:24] <switchgirl1> umm anyone know how to insert a tick on a form I am filling in (was sent it and scanned in ) in gimp?
[16:24] <Mrokii> Chousuke:  And this as a second line: "2.20.1-0ubuntu2 (jaunty)"
[16:24] <Chousuke> Mrokii: looks like the jaunty-updates one is a backport
[16:24] <MadSeaDog> can i resize ntfs partition with the ubuntu live dvd?
[16:24] <goose> MadSeaDog: yes
[16:24] <Mrokii> Chousuke:  does that help somehow?
[16:24] <MadSeaDog> goose,  ok thanks...
[16:24] <Chousuke> Mrokii: not really. but you could try installing the other version, if synaptic allows that
[16:24] <tehbaut> can anyone recommend a good clipboard manager?
[16:24] <Mrokii> Chousuke: I can force Synaptic to use a certain version of packages, so that should work.
[16:25] <n8tuser> unplug-> is it attached to a security cable link? what do you expect to monitor?
[16:25] <oberdada> hello channel. I had a pc with windows and 2 partitions (C: D: for system and data respectively).  I installed Xubuntu 9.04 on what was formerly the C: partition, blowing away windows, and keeping my data on what was the D: partition.  Now, i cannot mount the D: partition on ubuntu.  How can i solve this problem?
[16:25] <Chousuke> Mrokii: as long as it doesn't break dependencies in any way
[16:25] <Mrokii> tehbaut:  I'd like to know that, too. I am coming from OS X and all clipboard-managers I found so far for Ubuntu are pretty ... compared to those availabel for Mac
[16:25] <nullkuhl> hello, i have just installed Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala Beta , however i try inserting my usb drive in it but ubuntu doesnt detect it, it doesnt show up in fdisk list and when i type lsusb i get nothing , please advice.
[16:25] <Mrokii> Chousuke:  I assume that when it's done automatically via Synaptic, it should take that in regard
[16:26] <Chousuke> Mrokii: though synaptic should yell you if it does :)
[16:26] <Mrokii> Chousuke:  That's what I hoped. :)
[16:26] <Chousuke> yell... tell. :P
[16:26] <zouhair> hi is there any application that is equivalent to Fillcd?
[16:26] <n8tuser> oberdada-> are you sure your old "d" drive or partitiion still exist?  fdisk -l  to list
[16:26] <n8tuser> zouhair-> what does it do?
[16:26] <tehbaut> Mrokii: I forget what I used on OSX but on XP I used 'ditto' which was okay
[16:27] <nullkuhl> hello, i have just installed Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala Beta , however i try inserting my usb drive in it but ubuntu doesnt detect it, it doesnt show up in fdisk list and when i type lsusb i get nothing , please advice.
[16:27] <oberdada> i'll check. i'm on another pc at the moment.  However, when i installed xubuntu i didnt touch it.
[16:27] <fission6> whats the easiest way for me to update open office from 3.0 to 3.1.1 update manager is not reporting an update but i want it
[16:27] <zouhair> oh, actually it takes folders and put them to fit a certain size, so it can exactly fit a CD or DVD
[16:27] <Mrokii> tehbaut:  I wouldn't use XP, even if it had the best clipboard manager on earth :)
[16:27] <kaddi> nullkuhl: for support with karmic please ask in #ubuntu+1
[16:27] <tehbaut> Mrokii: some people wont
[16:27] <Mrokii> fission6:  You can add a repository for OpenOffice
[16:28] <tehbaut> I find usability on OSX sucks though
[16:28] <xrfang> how can I export an environment variable globally so that it is recognized in all new processes? (of course I can add that to .profile or something like that..., but can I do it dynamically without having to logoff or reboot)?
[16:28] <fission6> hm how do i go about do ing that
[16:28] <Mrokii> tehbaut:  I think quite the contrary :)
[16:28] <grawity> xrfang: 'export VAR=contents'
[16:28] <oberdada> n8tuser: to get ahead of events, supposing it exists... how can i mount it?
[16:28] <tehbaut> Mrokii: FTFF and it would probably be a different story
[16:28] <grawity> xrfang: Or, hmmm :|
[16:28] <oberdada> n8tuser: it's not in the places menu on top
[16:28] <n8tuser> oberdada-> use the mount command,  more details via  man mount
[16:29] <oberdada> ok
[16:29] <xrfang> grawity: this will only export in the current "terminal", right?
[16:29] <zouhair> n8tuser: oh, actually it takes folders and put them to fit a certain size, so it can exactly fit a CD or DVD
[16:29] <Mrokii> tehbaut:  That's true, the Finder is kind of crappy. But all in all I was quite pleased with OS X.
[16:29] <fission6> how do i find out which version of ubuntu i have such as jaunty or hardy
[16:29] <kaddi> type lsb_release -a
[16:30] <fission6> kaddi: thanks
[16:30] <IndyGunFreak> how could you not know what version of ubuntu you have?
[16:30] <tehbaut> Mrokii: yeah and since it's so ingrained in the os, it's not like I could use something like pathfinder ...effectively
[16:30] <IndyGunFreak> did you not pay attention when you downloaded the iso?
[16:30] <n8tuser> zouhair-> do it manually, ie using split perhaps
[16:30] <Mrokii> tehbaut:  true
[16:31] <kaddi> IndyGunFreak: maybe when someone else helped you with the installed or gave you a live-cd
[16:31] <IndyGunFreak> kaddi: well i'm not sure i'd trust someone that just installed and left, and didn't bother telling me what verison they installed
[16:31] <tehbaut> that's my biggest complaint, others include having had 4 HDDs die in 4 years, because the macbooks aren't well ventilated, and the fact that Mac's couldn't support my extreme multitasking (aka keeping more than 3 apps open at once) :P
[16:32] <tehbaut> so now I just is it for iPhone dev, Mrokii
[16:32] <kaddi> IndyGunFreak: maybe he told you 3 weeks ago and you don't remember? :p
[16:32] <zouhair> n8tuser: nah it's not as good as fillcd, when I have a lot of folders to burn, I jsut ask him to create me a new one and put the exact amount of folders to fit a DVD
[16:32] <IndyGunFreak> kaddi: user malfunction
[16:32] <zouhair> hard to do by hand
[16:32] <IndyGunFreak> just never heard a windows user forget what version of windows they are using
[16:32] <zouhair> and without messing the folders
[16:33] <grawity> IndyGunFreak: "I'm using Microsoft!"
[16:33] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[16:33] <Mrokii> tehbaut: heh. I think Apple has kind of forgetten meanwhile that form should follow function.
[16:33] <Mrokii> *forgotten
[16:33] <n8tuser> zouhair-> not overly difficult, you need to perhaps use scripts,
[16:33]  * grawity 's Microsoft has crashed :|
[16:33] <brynjarh> are there any noticeable changes between "installing Ubuntu 9.10 Beta and upgrading to Ubuntu 9.10 when available" and "just installing Ubuntu 9.10 when available"
[16:34] <brynjarh> *differences
[16:34] <Pulsewidth> I tried to apt-get a package that was already installed and now it is set to "manually installed", how can I undo this?
[16:34] <tehbaut> Mrokii: well it does certainly have some great things about it.... spotlight is high on that list for me
[16:34] <fission6> Mrokii: http://webupd8.blogspot.com/2009/05/install-openoffice-31-in-ubuntu-jaunty.html does that look legit
[16:34] <tehbaut> windows search blows
[16:35] <tehbaut> haven't searched enough in ubuntu to decided if it's any good
[16:35] <Mrokii> fission6:  I will check which repository I used. One moment...
[16:35] <Guest75318> I have a problem with samba : I can't have proper write perms on a share from a ubuntu, whereas from a kubuntu with the same command line the write perms are ok
[16:35] <fission6> cool thanks
[16:36] <yoga> How do I find out the version of the motherboard BIOS in command line?
[16:36] <Mrokii> tehbaut:  Sure, that's what I meant. There are some really great things in OS X. Lots of little tricks that make working with it very nice. Though it certainly isn't perfect.
[16:36] <Jake_> I have sound issues currently with Ubuntu 9.04.  Should I wait for Koala to come out before tampering with it?
[16:37] <tehbaut> Mrokii: I do wish it were as customizable as win/lin ...but again, mostly with the finder
[16:37] <Pulsewidth> Jake_, I'm using Koala and I'm having problems with PulseAudio output in Audacious. OSS output works ok though.
[16:37] <fission6> my update seemed to work though now my text for File Edit, etc.. in OO are lime green! did i pull some weird code or can i configure this
[16:37] <Jake_> Pulsewidth:  The audio works fine is
[16:37] <Jake_> whoops...it's just that the volume control only utilizes like 10% of the bar
[16:37] <Jake_> and the other 90% of the volume control is muted
[16:37] <Mrokii> tehbaut:  That's the main point why I considered switching to Ubuntu. I got more and more annoyed by the impossibility to extend so many things. Lack of official plugin-APIs and such.
[16:38] <Mrokii> fission6:  The repository is the one I used as well. Should work.
[16:38] <tehbaut> Mrokii: right on
[16:38] <fission6> yep worked fine, just have File, Edit, etc... in OO with limegreen  text, trying to c hange that
[16:39] <Mrokii> fission6:  I didn't have that when I upgraded.
[16:39] <fission6> maybe it a profile  / setting thing somewhere? can i control that
[16:39] <tehbaut> I think the look is what draws designers, but as a designer myself, I honestly think everyone has somewhat put the blinders on... but then again I'm a power user so I probably want it to work better and do  more than most
[16:40] <Morwind> Alright. Fixed my problem by removing compiz and compiz-core. And am now running ubuntu. Is there any replacement for those?
[16:40] <Hillshum> Morwind: Metacity?
[16:40] <Pulsewidth> Swfdec vs. Gnash, which is better?
[16:40] <Mrokii> tehbaut:  That's the problem. As power user you want to have more control over configuration, wich Apple simply doesn't allow.
[16:41] <Morwind> Metacity? Hm. I will look in to it thanks.
[16:41] <rizzak> zdorovo
[16:41] <tehbaut> which leads to this view I have about OSX ;)
[16:41] <tehbaut> I hate windows though too :)
[16:41] <Hillshum> Morwind: That's the default window manager GNOME ships with. I'm not completely sure what you're problem is
[16:41] <Mrokii> tehbaut:  It's Apples' philosophy. Do it our way or don't do it, so to say
[16:41] <tehbaut> too many processor politics
[16:42] <tehbaut> I have a quad core machine with 8GB ram, and it still tends to eat it all
[16:42] <Kalisto> how do I get around having to type dmraid -ay then Ctrl-D in busy box when I try to boot ubunut? im running a nvidia fakeraid
[16:42] <Pulsewidth> tehbaut, empty ram is wasted ram
[16:43] <tehbaut> Pulsewidth: I'm talking leaks
[16:43] <tehbaut> I was down to 30% ram a few weeks back because of it
[16:43] <hwilde> how do I kill all the leftover crap when Wine fails to open a program?  i've got services.exe, explorer.exe, all kinds of stuff
[16:43] <cxo> So i'm running 9.04 64bit, I wanted to upgrade my openoffice, so i downloaded the debs from their site, and ran their ./update script, didnt install, just said "skipping deselected ...."
[16:44] <Mrokii> tehbaut:  heh, that's another thing I don't get about OS X. It seems to eat a huge amount of ressources.
[16:44] <sayed|laptop> So I started my ubuntu box the other day and now my sound doesn't work =] Any ideas?
[16:44] <tehbaut> well, I'm hoping my switch to ubuntu fixes things once and for all :)
[16:44] <Mrokii> cxo:  Better use a repository to update OpenOffice. Should work like a charm.
[16:44] <Hillshum> I'm trying to get my Palm to sync, and I need to figure out what USB device it's on and how to tell that to gnome-pilot. Any help?
[16:44] <rizzak> hi gerls
[16:44] <cxo> Mrokii, how does that work?
[16:45] <Mrokii> tehbaut:  Heh, I wouldn't count on it. I already re-installed Ubuntu once because of unsolveable problems.
[16:45] <rizzak> how hide servis messages
[16:45] <Mrokii> cxo:  Look here: http://webupd8.blogspot.com/2009/05/install-openoffice-31-in-ubuntu-jaunty.html
[16:45] <tehbaut> Mrokii: what's that?
[16:45] <tehbaut> what was the problem*
[16:46] <Mrokii> cxo:  And if you don't know how to do that, ask again and I will explain more thoroughly in private chat.
[16:46] <fission6> Mrokii: this is what is what i am left with after upgrading, http://imagebin.ca/view/C3T9kW.html (screen shot)
[16:47] <Mrokii> tehbaut:  I used a lot of repositories to update to beta- and what-not-versions and Ubuntu became very unstable, so to say. So now I only used repos that give stable-versions and all went fine until one or two days ago.

[16:50] <jrib> Doc_Lappy: try ffmpeg?
[16:50] <Mrokii> tehbaut:  The recent crashes are why I joined this room. But I hope to be able to solve them by reverting back to an earlier version (now that I know how to do that via Synaptic).

[16:56] <grawity> ruby_on_tails: http://tldp.org/
[16:56] <grawity> Doc_Lappy: ffmpeg is a command-line application.

I'm now talking from a web-based IRC client through Firefox from the Failsafe Terminal mode. [17:50] <usb333> I used wubi to install it if that has anything to do with the problem [17:50] <usb333> all i can see is my background and my cursor
[16:57] <stachurski> is it possible to copy output from a command line only terminal?
[16:58] <Doc_Lappy> but don't know how to run it, I suppose I'll try and look at ffmpeg man and see if I can figure it out if this doesn't work
[16:58] <Hillshum> stachurski: You can use '>' to pipe the output into a file, e.g. echo 'Hello, world' > helloworld.txt

[16:59] <grawity> ruby_on_tails: The terminal you use consists of two things: the shell (bash) is what reads your commands and runs them; the terminal itself (gnome-terminal) shows it all on your screen.

[17:26] <monster_> once added to fstab do this
[17:26] <kukukk> In Synaptic I have OOo 2.x (the default version in Intrepid)
[17:26] <johan_> monster, except instead of /dev/sdc1 i use /dev/sda5?
[17:27] <monster_> sudo mount /home/username/mountpoint
[17:27] <monster_> and it should mount it via the info from fstab
[17:27] <monster_> and that will work at boot
[17:27] <monster_> johan_: yeah that was just an example use what you used when you did get it to mount proper
[17:27] <johan_> ok

[18:08] <lesshaste> sanguisdex1: I am just using the ubuntu provided one. Might envy give me one that works with compiz?
[18:09] <euro-linux> hi
[18:09] <rtty> how do i check whether ubuntu has recognized my bluetooth dongle?

[18:12] <rtty> llutz: even without the dongle conencted .. it shows me the same list
[18:13] <lesshaste> ah no

[18:25] <bnild> I think I've done it before, but can't remember how to do it, I can start a second X Session from within gnome, right? How?
[18:25] <SwampThing> preetam: I was trying to help you.  you might want to research blacklisted modules.  what kind of wireless chipset do you have?
[18:25] <sidh> music,and tv
[18:26] <Dr_Willis> Ben_90:  i never use envyng, i always use the repo drivers for my nvidia card.
[18:26] <Djidane> awi y'a du monde o_o
[18:26] <Ben_90> Dr_Willis: i had to boot into low-graphics mode
[18:27] <sidh> Dr_Willis: music and tv have sound
[18:27] <preetam_> network manager is not detecting wifi network automatically
[18:27] <Dr_Willis> sidh:  hmm.. mythtv uses mplayer i thought as its player.. you may want to see what settings it uses. youmay want to ask in #mythbuntu
[18:27] <preetam_> please help me
[18:28] <sidh> i will try to reboot mythbuntu station
[18:28] <Math> can grub boot up raid5 (md-raid) partitions or I have to reserve some space for /boot ?
[18:28] <sidh> ok Dr_Willis , good pass
[18:28] <Dr_Willis> good luck. its bed time for me
[18:28] <Ahlee> passwd change issue, probable pam misconfiguration?  When I attempt to change the password of a local user account, it prompts for the current password twice, changes the password, but returns authentication failure, then password unchanged: http://paste.ubuntu.com/287977/
[18:28] <sidh> thank you
[18:28] <Ben_90> good night.
[18:29] <Ahlee> Math: raid1 only
[18:29] <Math> so /boot it is, thanks
[18:29] <Math> well raid1 is esentially the same thing as no raid, with a different partition type # so the kernel recognizes it
[18:29] <Ahlee> you technically can IIRC, but it isn't worth the headache
[18:30] <bnild> I can start a second X Session from within gnome, right? How?
[18:30] <Berzerker-> Math, RAID is defined as more than 1 hard drive working together on a single function, so yes, it is RAID.
[18:31] <Math> of course its raid, but I meant... grub can read it the same way it reads ext3 without knowing its raid
[18:31] <Prune> how can I make an alias to get me to a folder?
[18:31] <preetam_> how reinstall the Wireless driver
[18:32] <preetam_> in ubuntu 9.04
[18:32] <tehbaut> what is everyone's prefered filesystem and why? :)
[18:32] <Ahlee> Prune: man ln, you'relooking for ln -s here there
[18:32] <Prune> come again, Ahlee?
[18:32] <YGxxx> "Request timed out " how to fix it ?
[18:33] <maginot> good afternoon. anyone knows about some gui program to make mathematical equations ?
[18:33] <Ahlee> Prune: sounds like you want a symbolic link - an 'alias' for a directory
[18:33] <blackjak> I have a weird kernel  "generic"
[18:33] <Prune> how do I make one, Ahlee?
[18:33] <Ahlee> Prune: ln is the command
[18:33] <Ahlee> man ln on your nearest console/terminal
[18:34] <blackjak> 2.6.27-11-generic
[18:34] <Nilbud> Afternoon folks.
[18:34] <StaRetji> Need help with slow boot issues http://paste.ubuntu.com/287936/ Please, have a look
[18:34] <Ahlee> tehbaut: I prefer ZFS, but sadly licensing gets in the way.  On linux I gravitate towards XFS for a solid mixture of performance and stability
[18:35] <tehbaut> Ahlee: I heard xfs isn't that good at handling crashes
[18:35] <jiffe> hmm, trying to install pacemaker I'm getting dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/pacemaker_0.6.5-1ubuntu1_i386.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite `/usr/sbin/attrd_updater', which is also in package heartbeat
[18:36] <jiffe> heartbeat is being installed by the pacemaker install
[18:36] <tehbaut> also, for some reason ubuntu 9.10 beta installer  is stuck on step 3 of 6 (keyboard selection)
[18:37] <Pici> tehbaut : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Karmic/9.10 support/discussion.
[18:37] <Ahlee> tehbaut: The same can be said for any OS running on PC hardware.  Crashing does bad things, there's no real guarantee anywhere
[18:37] <Ahlee> er, s/OS/filesystem/
[18:38] <Ahlee> for me, online file system growing trumps the few edge cases that can lead to corruption
[18:38] <Ahlee> passwd change issue, probable pam misconfiguration?  When I attempt to change the password of a local user account, it prompts for the current password twice, changes the password, but returns authentication failure, then password unchanged: http://paste.ubuntu.com/287977/
[18:38] <wincide> hi all
[18:40] <wincide> i want to connect a drum with midi usb port to my ubuntu. Lspci detects the device,  aconnect -lo -li  also , as well cat /proc/asound/cards , syslog.. all
[18:40] <BrianTM> 	Hi, I want to install linux onto my 1005HA and I'm wondering about partitioning.
[18:40] <Guest8852> anyone know whast up w/ this: I compiled a c program w/ gcc but when running it, it segfaults instantly (the same sourcecode compiled the same way on another ubuntu-running device works correctly)
[18:40] <BrianTM> there's a 47MB partition at the start of my disk, should I keep that? is it a boot partition?
[18:40] <wincide> but i still dont know too much about jack, and the documentation i read is not very useful for me
[18:40] <wincide> any help ?
[18:40] <Guest8852> BrianTM, do you have any other OS installed?
[18:40] <own> anyone know of a good english <-> russian translator program?  must be able to work offline
[18:41] <Guest8852> own,  google it
[18:41] <Berzerker-> BrianTM, if you're getting rid of anything and installing linux, you don't need any of the stock partitions on the disk
[18:41] <Pici> !google | Guest8852
[18:41] <Falchion> hello
[18:41] <fission6> http://imagebin.ca/view/C3T9kW.html why are my menu bars limegreen, can i fix this
[18:41] <Falchion> not sure
[18:41] <jedipottsy> hey im having some strange problem with 9.10 UNR, some icons are missing in the game section, and others are very large
[18:41] <own> Guest8852: I did.
[18:41] <Pici> jedipottsy : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Karmic/9.10 support/discussion.
[18:42] <own> Guest8852: this is one of the many areas that google falls short.  Do you know of one?
[18:42] <leissi> Why hello there #ubuntu
[18:42] <BrianTM> I have no other OS installed. There is this 47MB partition, the XP partition, an empty ntfs data part., and an XP restore partition
[18:42] <Nilbud> Man, I must be on a slow apt-get server today. =/
[18:42] <leissi> I got a question about configuring GRUB bootloader: Can I just switch the values around to make it boot into windows by default instead of ubuntu?
[18:42] <Nilbud> Running slow for anyone else?
[18:42] <own> yes
[18:42] <Ahlee> leissi: yes
[18:42] <BrianTM> I was just wondering if the 47mb one might be something to do with the Asus bootbooster or something
[18:43] <Ahlee> Nilbud: I find building a local mirror of the distro you're using is usually worth it :)
[18:43] <own> leissi: change the default # in the grub menu config
[18:43] <Nilbud> Ahlee: Of course.
[18:43] <Ahlee> BrianTM: probably - small partitions (let me guess, it's at the front of the drive?) are put there for odd things
[18:43] <leissi> Ahlee, can I remove values without fucking up everything? more precisely: remove the option to boot into Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.27-14-generic
[18:43] <own> leissi: yes if you don't want to boot ubuntu from grub
[18:44] <Ahlee> leissi: If you understand the ramifications, sure
[18:44] <Nilbud> Oh well, I needed something tro do on my day off anyway. :)
[18:44] <leissi> well I'm booting into <IP_ADDRESS>
[18:44] <Nilbud> to*
[18:44] <StaRetji> Need help with slow boot issues http://paste.ubuntu.com/287936/ Please, have a look
[18:44] <BrianTM> Ahlee: aye, at the front
[18:44] <preetam_> my Wireless lan is not working in ubuntu 9.04 please help me resolving the issue
[18:44] <leissi> !pastebin
[18:44] <Ahlee> leissi: dpkg --purge might be better
[18:44] <SierraNevadan> Where should I report a bug where an `apt-get upgrade memcached` is failing?
[18:44] <fission6> why would the menu bar be one color in an appllication and not another
[18:44] <own> fission6: multiple monitors or one?
[18:45] <vigo> !bugs
[18:45] <Ahlee> BrianTM: it's probably a helper partition - recovery, this "boot booster" thing you referenced.  Personally I'd leave it, since it's only 47M and it's been a long time since that was a significant amount of space
[18:45] <Nilbud> StaRetji: It's a problem with your intel graphics card. It is a known bug. If you want, I can link you to the report.
[18:45] <fission6> i have multiple monitors but i am not sure t hat would be the cause, i upgraded open office and BAM the File, Edit, View, ..bar has green text as observed in this screens hot http://imagebin.ca/view/C3T9kW.html
[18:45] <leissi> if I ask nicely, would someone fix this for me so that it only shows ubuntu 9.04 <IP_ADDRESS> normal, recovery and memtest, and the first windows vista/longhorn?
[18:46] <bluebaron> Anyone know why I get access denied when trying to access an apache www that I simply installed using apt-get install apache2
[18:46] <bluebaron> ?
[18:46] <leissi> http://paste.ubuntu.com/287999/
[18:46] <leissi> you forgot sudo
[18:46] <bluebaron> leissi, me?
[18:46] <StaRetji> Nilbud: yes, thank you
[18:46] <leissi> looking at the line you typed, yes
[18:46] <Guest8852> own, sorry no, i dont know of one -- it was just a blurted response.
[18:47] <Ahlee> I've runn into a passwd change issue, probable pam misconfiguration when integrated into my openldap/krb5 server?  When I attempt to change the password of a local user account, it prompts for the current password twice, changes the password, but returns authentication failure, then password unchanged: http://paste.ubuntu.com/287977/
[18:47] <bluebaron> leissi, no this is an apache directive issue.  the server runs, the web page says access denied
[18:47] <own> Guest8852: ok, appreciate your time anyway :P
[18:47] <leissi> o
[18:47] <__k> anyone know whast up w/ this: I compiled a c program w/ gcc but when running it, it segfaults instantly (the same sourcecode compiled the same way on another ubuntu-running device works correctly)
[18:47] <Ahlee> bluebaron: your permissions don't allow execute on a path below the DocumentRoot
[18:47] <BrianTM> Thanks Ahlee
[18:47] <fission6> own: any suggestions for me and my coloring issue
[18:47] <Nilbud> StaRetji: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/341363 Good luck.
[18:48] <bluebaron> Ahlee, i can access the pages from localhost
[18:48] <ilowe> leissi: just uninstall the older kernel package; the postrm cleanup will remove the grub entries
[18:48] <Ahlee> bluebaron: check your error log, 4xx and 5xx errors should be logged there
[18:48] <StaRetji> Nilbud: Thank you, when it comes to bugs, I'll sure need it. Cheers...
[18:48] <__k> own, there are web-based apps that you can use that are free (e.g. freetranslation.com).
[18:49] <Ahlee> bluebaron: are you bound to the loopback?  I don't install apache from apt, but ubuntu does strange things with /etc/default in the name of 'security'
[18:49] <SilentWarrior> hey guys, can anyone help me out? I want to setup Grub, since my windows install went AFK and my ubuntu install is inside it (using windows installer program), right now i cant boot anything, http://pastie.org/645693, thanks in advance
[18:49] <own> __k: yeah, I usually am able to use something like rustran.com but I need to have something that works offline as well occasionally :/
[18:50] <__k> own, if you can find an app that does not require the server to translate, you can save the webpage (like some flash applications have all the logic/processing done on the client-side). good luck
[18:51] <gp_will_be_back> how do i resize my ubuntu partition ?
[18:51] <gp_will_be_back> how do i resize my ubuntu partition ?
[18:51] <adalgiso> gp_will_be_back: you can use a program like gparted from the livecd
[18:51] <vigo> SilentWarrior: I guess you need to fix Windows, chkdisk or somesuch thing.
[18:51] <__k> gp_will_be_back, have you tried GParted?
[18:52] <gp_will_be_back> yes but i dot want to boot
[18:52] <adalgiso> gp_will_be_back: do you have an Ubuntu cd?  if so, boot from the cd and run gparted
[18:52] <SilentWarrior> vigo, fix Windows? Can you be a little bit more especific?
[18:52] <gp_will_be_back> can i do it while system is running ...lvm crap
[18:52] <Ahlee> lvextend
[18:53] <adalgiso> gp_will_be_back: gparted can also be run from a flash drive if your computer support booting from USB
[18:53] <__k> anyone know if there are any programming specific channels on Ubuntu Servers (this server). specifically c programming. thanks
[18:53] <adalgiso> gp_will_be_back: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/liveusb.php
[18:53] <vigo> SilentWarrior: Yes, the error as stated is that Windows is not working, therefore you cannot access the WUBI. is that correct?
[18:53] <adalgiso> __k: can you send me a paste of your C code?
[18:54] <Ahlee> gp_will_be_back: if you're running lvm it can be simple, given you have physical space available and are running a file system that allows for online resizing
[18:54] <__k> adalgiso, its not the code -- its a socket programming program...and it works fine on windows/solaris and even ubuntu..just not on the distro that im working on presently.
[18:54] <SilentWarrior> vigo, no, I MBS isnt there or isnt doing its job, thats why i want to setup grub or fix my windows one (yeah right..)
[18:55] <purpzey> Can someone help me trouble shoot my Gnome-power-manager. The tray icon says I am hooked up to AC power and there is no battery present, but my battery is there and present, is it possible my battery is not working properly or is it a problem with Ubuntu?
[18:55] <adalgiso> __k: sounds strange, are you sure that the machine you are on now has the proper libraries?
[18:55] <adalgiso> __k: you said that it segfaults when you go to run the executable?
[18:55] <__k> adalgiso, is there a way i can ensure this?
[18:55] <Ahlee> __k: ld <binary>
[18:55] <krivets> Looking for libxine-extracodecs on Jaunty amd64. Not in my list. Guess I need to add a source? Help?
[18:55] <__k> adalgiso, correct
[18:56] <adalgiso> __k: you can download the library and put it in the same folder as your .c and .h files, although you';d probably get a compile-time error if it couldn't find the libs
[18:56] <leissi> if I ask nicely, would someone fix this for me so that it only shows ubuntu 9.04 <IP_ADDRESS> normal, recovery and memtest, and the first windows vista/longhorn? http://paste.ubuntu.com/287999/
[18:56] <adalgiso> this is in C correct?
[18:56] <leissi> I'm not sure I should go tampering with that since I don't really understand the inner workings
[18:57] <vigo> SilentWarrior: That is why I suggested a Windows Utility, chckdisk or something like that, fix or repair the Windows, then continue on, look at computerhope.com for more precise information on that.
[18:57] <Guest86986> help installed a driver that broke my sound card driver!
[18:57] <Pinz> ciao
[18:57] <adalgiso> SilentWarrior: there is a fixmbr program on a windows CD if you boot into recovery mode
[18:57] <__k> adalgiso, is there some standard pack of c libs that i can get form somewhere?
[18:57] <bluebaron> Ahlee, i was inadvertently bound to loopback
[18:57] <Ahlee> bluebaron: that'll do it :)
[18:58] <Guest86986> help installed a driver that broke my sound card driver!
[18:59] <Ahlee> Guest86986: welcome to the wonderful world of sound on linux.  I don't have any helpful tidbits to offer or suggestions.
[18:59] <vigo> Guest86986: Did it work before?
[18:59] <sarvesh> hi
[18:59] <jedipottsy> can someone help with UNR? im having this problem http://img203.imageshack.us/img203/104/iconproblem.png
[19:00] <Guest86986> vigo yeah, i installed a modem driver, sound broke, uninstalled it, and now all pulseaudio has to say is 'dummy output'
[19:01] <Pinz> !list
[19:01] <Ahlee> I'm having problems changing passwords on local accounts.  When executing passwd it's prompting me for my current password twice, then for my new password.  It then returns authentication failure, password unchanged, but is in fact changing the password
[19:02] <vigo> Guest86986: Ahlee was very correct, but it may just be an Analog Output got changed during the install of the other package, which is why I am such a believer in Backups.
[19:02] <Guest86986> vigo i did this once before (and got it working again, didnt realize it was the modem driver) and i think a kernel update fixed it.. any way to reload all kernel modules?
[19:03] <bluebaron> Ahlee, I had mbn:80 and mbn was in my host file as localhost
[19:04] <purpzey> Can someone help me trouble shoot my Gnome-power-manager. The tray icon says I am hooked up to AC power and there is no battery present, but my battery is there and present, is it possible my battery is not working properly or is it a problem with Ubuntu?
[19:04] <vigo> Guest86986: There are a few ways, update/upgrade may be the best but I would have to locate the command to load older kernels.
[19:04] <orwell> how would I connect my TV to ubuntu to use as my display
[19:05] <dmoranda> I'm trying to win a trip to Autodesk University.  Any views would be much appreciated! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzoCdLjN_gw
[19:05] <vigo> !media | orwell
[19:05] <Ahlee> bluebaron: ahh, always love the roundabout ways
[19:05] <dury> hi there channel :)
[19:06] <Ahlee> orwell: Are you looking for physically?  How you'd configure Xorg once it is physically connected?
[19:06] <orwell> yeah the software side
[19:07] <Guest86986> any one else please help? how to re-compile kernel modules?
[19:07] <Ahlee> no idea, I havein't isntalled X since 1999
[19:07] <adalgiso> !codecs | adalgiso
[19:07] <ilowe> leissi: As I mentioned above, just "apt-get remove linux-image-2.26.27-whatever" and the grub entries will get cleaned up; you shouldn't modify that file by hand (especially not to just remove extra kernels)
[19:07] <leissi> ilowe, are you sure?
[19:08] <ilowe> leissi: about the cleaning? yup.
[19:08] <dury> is it possible to install chrome in Ubuntu
[19:08] <dury> I mean chrome browser
[19:08] <ilowe> leissi: you only need to hack the file if you want to change the boot priority of your windoze partition
[19:08] <Ahlee> Mucking inside grub.conf is not for the faint of heart
[19:08] <markl_> is there a way to let apt-get download more than one file at a time from the same source?
[19:08] <Guest86986> dury dev version yes other then that via wine
[19:09] <leissi> ilowe, well I'd rather have it boot to windows by default
[19:09] <ilowe> dury: look for "chromium"; I think there's a package out there, but I think it's only in Karmic. Look for the PPA on launchpad.
[19:09] <Ruadh> Hi. I want to add a second monitor to my PC. I use Ubuntu 9.04. Can anyone tell me how I should go about adding and a second monitor?
[19:09] <Ahlee> markl_: apt is single threaded AFAIK
[19:09] <leissi> can I just move the windows part above the ubuntu part and it'll work?
[19:09] <markl_> Ahlee: if it grabs files from different sources it seems to do more than one at a time
[19:09] <Ahlee> leissi: That's a loaded question.
[19:09] <ilowe> leissi: yup; it shouldn't even cause problems when you install the next kernel
[19:10] <markl_> Ahlee: but from the same source i want it to do up to 4 files
[19:10] <leissi> it's loaded with CURIOSITY and DOUBT
[19:10] <leissi> watch out
[19:10] <losha> markl_: don't think so. Trying to max out your bandwidth?
[19:10] <Ahlee> markl_: *shrug* any reason other than impatience?
[19:10] <ubuntu> night guys
[19:11] <markl_> Ahlee: nope
[19:11] <markl_> losha: yep
[19:11] <ubuntu> anyone could give me via pastebin the contents of the net.lo file?
[19:11] <ilowe> leissi: you can move the Windows load blocks but they need to be before the *whole* automagic block
[19:11] <ubuntu> i deleted it  :(
[19:11] <dury> Guest86986: dev version how is that?
[19:11] <Ahlee> leissi: we don't know your hardware setup.  Given the multiple grub devices it looks like you have at least 2 drives, with at least two partitions per drive. Asking us to guess which one you want is a loaded question
[19:11] <ilowe> leissi: Also, you seem to have 3 extra OSes installed?
[19:11] <ubuntu> /etc/init.d/net.lo file please
[19:11] <leissi> ilowe, remnants from old installs
[19:11] <ilowe> leissi: what Ahlee said
[19:11] <leissi> there's only ubuntu and windows 7 here
[19:11] <ilowe> leissi: creepy...
[19:12] <ilowe> leissi: we can give you the principles, but as Ahlee says, it
[19:12] <ilowe> leissi: it's hard to guess which piece is which
[19:12] <ubuntu> please, .. I need the contents of the /etc/init.d/net.lo file:...
[19:12] <Ahlee> leissi: well, I'll give you what your asking for, but bear in mind I wouldn't do this if you're unfamiliar, and definitely make sure you have a boot CD present and backups of the current /boot/grub/menu.lst before proceeding
[19:13] <ilowe> leissi: you can grab everything in http://paste.ubuntu.com/287999/ that is after line 162 and put it at line 51
[19:13] <losha> markl_: update manager often *looks* like it downloads multiple debs at once. I wonder if synaptic will do it for you too. You'll have to read the manual to find out I guess...
[19:13] <leissi> thank you ilowe
[19:13] <Nilbud> Quick question. What file is it I change to have Ubuntu boot without a GUI?
[19:13] <panfist> i'm in a screen session. can i grep stuff that was previously printed to stdout?
[19:13] <leissi> the easy answer :)
[19:13] <ilowe> leissi: in addition to backups (see Ahlee's answer), you should prepare a livecd or something to make sure you can actually boot
[19:13] <leissi> also actually I have 2 hdd's of which one is partitioned, the other isn't :P
[19:14] <Ahlee> fair enough
[19:14] <leissi> I got my livecd right here
[19:14] <ilowe> Ahlee: if it breaks s/he keeps the pieces :)
[19:14] <leissi> I'm not gonna go fiddle with grub without it
[19:14] <ilowe> leissi: good call
[19:15] <SilentWarrior> can anyone help me setup a MBR (grub?) so i can boot my OS again? http://pastie.org/645693 http://pastie.org/645713 Thank you.
[19:15] <leissi> ok done
[19:15] <leissi> now to see if it works
[19:15] <leissi> brb shortly to thank if it did
[19:15] <rhollander> hello
[19:15] <rhollander> =D
[19:16] <losha> panfist: not really. Unless you scroll back, cut&paste into a file and then grep the file, Or some terminal progs will let you save everything to a file that you can grep through. The ones I've seen need you to turn on logging *bfore* you generate output though...
[19:17] <leissi> hmm hmm HMM
[19:17] <leissi> the default option now says "Other operating systems" and gives error 11 :P
[19:18] <demon_> hyia
[19:18] <ikonia> leissi: other operating systems is not a bootable option
[19:18] <leissi> hurr durr :D
[19:18] <leissi> really now
[19:18] <ikonia> leissi: pardon ?
[19:18] <demon_> my hp pavillion dv9500 monitor is very not bright, very very not bright, in power manager the brightness is at full, problem ?
[19:18] <leissi> nevermind :)
[19:18] <gp_will_be_back> ext4 doesnt resize ?
[19:18] <gp_will_be_back> no option in gparted ?
[19:19] <ikonia> ext4 can resize
[19:19] <leissi> it should work now
[19:19] <Ahlee> ikonia: online?
[19:19] <addisonj_> hmmm... so trying to rsync files FROM a linux box to a Win Machine, how would one best go about that, and it should just be a one time job
[19:19] <ikonia> Ahlee: with things like lvm I believe it can as that's not a real resize, not partitions while it's mounted though
[19:19] <Ahlee> addisonj_: cygwin on the windows box
[19:20] <iPwned> ca
[19:20] <ciberkalo> error 18 ??????
[19:20] <jason_froebe> addisonj_ - for a one time job, just share a dir out on windows and use smbclient to copy the files
[19:20] <iPwned> can u guys see this
[19:20] <ikonia> iPwned: yes
[19:20] <Ahlee> eh, filesystem resize is agnostic to what's providing the underlying partition
[19:20] <jason_froebe> iPwned - nope, not at all ;-)
[19:20] <iPwned> nice iPhone app works
[19:21] <KEBA> is there a rss feed for the most popular brainstorm ideas?
[19:21] <Leissi> there
[19:21] <losha> addisonj_: do you have a version of rsync installed on the windows box (I didn't know this was possible). Can't do it without. I agree with jason_froebe. Use smb...
[19:21] <iPwned> now to get it approved
[19:21] <Leissi> grub works like I want it to now
[19:21] <Leissi> thanks for the assistance
[19:21] <ikonia> Ahlee: I guess it depends on the definition of "online", things like vxfs can do online/mounted file systems, ext$ can't of course do that,
[19:21] <Dougal_> i've exceeded my maximum number of tries to login with root password, what does this mean? When or how can I keep trying, or will i need to reset it? I do have superuser ability on another account, but I'd like to know my own root password.
[19:21] <iPwned> how to install iTunes in ubuntu ?
[19:21] <ikonia> iPwned: you don't, it's a windows/mac app, you'd have to use wine
[19:21] <Falchion> sup?
[19:21] <Leissi> iPwned, why would you want to install itunes in the first place
[19:22] <Falchion> that's a secret
[19:22] <iPwned> but it is wine compatable
[19:22] <ikonia> Dougal_: the root account is locked
[19:22] <jason_froebe> iPwned - you can use wine or crossoffice
[19:22] <cobra-the-joker> hey there guys ....does moblin use Sugar DE
[19:22] <ikonia> Dougal_: you don't login directly as root, use a non-privileged account and sudo
[19:22] <Ahlee> Dougal_: fromt eh other acount, sudo -s, then change your password with passwd
[19:23] <kassah> is there a way to add sender identities to Evolution
[19:23] <Dougal_> ikonia: you *can* log in directly as root, if you want to there's a setting that allows it. I don't usually, but i'd like to know that I *could*
[19:23] <ikonia> Dougal_: no there isn't, you'd have to unlock the account
[19:23] <Dougal_> Ahlee: thanks. Is the passwd program self-explanitory?
[19:23] <Ahlee> ikonia: I believe he's referring to logging into gnome via root?
[19:24] <ikonia> Dougal_: if you don't know how to set a password, you shouldn't be logging in as root - you need a basic level of understanding
[19:24] <Dougal_> Ahlee: no, just in a terminal/screen etc
[19:24] <jason_froebe> Dougal_ - man passwd
[19:24] <Dougal_> ikonia: thanks for the advice. But it's my computer, so i have a right to if I want to.
[19:24] <Dougal_> jason_froebe: thanks, i'll look it all up
[19:24] <ikonia> Dougal_: sure,
[19:24] <Ahlee> I support it.  Nuking your system is the best way to learn
[19:24] <addisonj_> sure you do, but don't come here when you break things :P
[19:25] <rhollander> i nuked my system to much
[19:25] <rhollander> think its almost at its end now
[19:25] <rhollander> =)
[19:25] <Ahlee> hell I've made a career out of it
[19:25] <Dougal_> addisonj_: i'll be carefull, i promise.
[19:25] <jason_froebe> breaking things is one of the best ways to learn...  imho :)
[19:25] <monster_> agreed
[19:25] <ciberkalo> que es el error 18????
[19:25] <ikonia> !es > ciberkalo
[19:25] <Dougal_> Besides, i'd like to say that I haven't logged in as root in many months, or I wouldn't have forgotten the password in the first place :)
[19:25] <Ahlee> jason_froebe: up to a point.  Breaking things to the point where it's faster to fix them than it is to reinstall is
[19:26] <Dougal_> Ahlee: unless of course i don't care about the machine and don't mind a reinstall.
[19:26] <addisonj_> eh, i take the more cautious approach of learning all I can and making sure I have everything right, look before you leap, but then again, most of the linux stuff I do is at work... so :P
[19:26] <vigo> Is also a good learning curve that.
[19:26] <addisonj_> well, logging in as root is just bad practice
[19:26] <monster_> real man only login as root.
[19:27] <monster_> <- real man
[19:27] <Pici> !noroot
[19:27] <jason_froebe> Ahlee - that's part of the learning process.  I mean, how many of us haven't hosed up a system to a point where we had to reinstall?
[19:27] <Ahlee> I agree with monster_.  :)
[19:27] <monster_> sudo su my friends
[19:27] <Dougal_> addisonj_: if you're at work, I'd agree. I'd only ever be this reckless with a computer that i didn't mind completely trashing.
[19:27] <monster_> feel the power
[19:27] <ikonia> guys - it's his box, he has been warned, let him be
[19:27] <ikonia> monster_: enough please
[19:27] <addisonj_> Dougal_, I am just saying, don't make logging in as root common practice, that teaches bad linux habits
[19:28] <monster_> =/
[19:28] <addisonj_> for the future, when you do know what you are doing, but anyways, on to more important things...
[19:28] <Dougal_> addisonj_: I agree completely. I haven't done it since i set up the password in the first place (hence forgetting the password)
[19:28] <Dougal_> yeah, sorry for sidelining the convo. Thanks for your help all.
[19:29] <addisonj_> anyways, bleh, today is migrate to a new web-server day :(
[19:29] <monster_> http://www.garyshood.com/root/
[19:30] <monster_> hopes he doesnt get kicked
[19:30] <ikonia> monster_: let it go please !
[19:30] <jmadrid> Hello All! I'm trying to solve something with my Xubuntu and I'm like a baby when it comes to Linux & command line. After having some issues and solving them in the forums about my GeForce4 420 Go, I have this other issue that had been hard to find info on:
[19:30] <monster_> its hillarious though
[19:30] <Ahlee> alright last shot.  Local user accounts can't change their passwords, I believe the issue's in pam somewhere.  When I issue passwd as a non-privileged user, it prompts for the current password twice, then reports passwd: Authentication failure and passwd: password unchanged but is, in fact, changing the password.  http://paste.ubuntu.com/287977/
[19:30] <jmadrid> The card defaults to the VGA connector and not it's LCD when it starts up.
[19:30] <ikonia> monster_: it's pointless, he's left, this isn't a joke channel.
[19:30] <jmadrid> Any guidance on the subject, please?
[19:31] <Strife89> I'm trying to find a quick way to print the number of pages in numerous PDFs. file and stat won't spill. Any advice?
[19:31] <ikonia> Ahlee: this looks interesting
[19:31] <jason_froebe> jmadrid - to use the dvi connector, you need to use the NVidia drivers - (System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers)
[19:31] <Fffars> hello everybody
[19:32] <rhollander> ive got some problems with my Skype. it will not detect my audio device correctly. but i do get my logon and shutdown sound. even kopete sounds. what can i do?
[19:32] <bigmacx> ftw, the solution to my odd boot problem is described here http://blog.avirtualhome.com/2008/10/28/how-to-compile-a-custom-kernel-for-ubuntu-intrepid/#comment-4526
[19:32] <jason_froebe> jmadrid - the opensource doesn't seem to like the dvi connector on any of my nvidia cards
[19:32] <jmadrid> Hello Jason_froebe. Thank you very much! Thing is, this is a laptop. When powered on, the laptop screen remains black after Xubunto boot logo.
[19:32] <bucky> Ahlee, it won't let me change my passwd as user because that would effectively change the sudo passwd
[19:32] <bucky> maybe that's why
[19:32] <YGxxx> anyone here uses Colloquy ?
[19:32] <Fffars> i have a bug
[19:32] <jason_froebe> rhollander - for skype - download skype from skype.com, install it, then choose pulse for all audio devices
[19:32] <jmadrid> Then, when I connect an external monitor to the laptop, everything is there... so I go to the nVidia control panel, and " enable" the LCD.
[19:32] <jason_froebe> it'll work then
[19:32] <Fffars> with ubuntu 9.10 beta
[19:33] <Pici> Fffars : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Karmic/9.10 support/discussion.
[19:33] <jmadrid> So there is an official nVidia driver for my card?!!
[19:33] <Berzerker-> nvidia.com
[19:33] <Kingsy101> can someone help me, I have just inserted a belkin wireless network card into my ubuntu PC and I cant get it to work .. I am still using a wire atm
[19:33] <jmadrid> That's good news!
[19:33] <ikonia> jmadrid: look in system->administration->hardware drivers, it should offer some
[19:33] <bucky> Ahlee, sudo passwd jalons
[19:33] <ikonia> jmadrid: don't go to nvidia.com for drivers
[19:33] <nh2> I accidentally changed a bunch of permissions in /var/log. How can I find out which permissions the directories should have?
[19:34] <Ahlee> bucky: this is affecting users without sudo privs
[19:34] <jason_froebe> jmadrid - yes..  you need to start nvidia-settings as root (sudo nvidia-settings) make the laptop screen the primary screen and save the xorg.conf file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[19:34] <ikonia> nh2: look at the linux fhs file system, that should give you an idea, or get the infro from someone elses system
[19:34] <Kingsy101> when I booted up it said that it found new drivers, the driver it found was a Broadcom b43 wireless but when I try to install that it just stays on 0%
[19:34] <Kingsy101> does nothing
[19:34] <blendmaster1024> is it possible to write to hfs+ volumes from ubuntu?
[19:34] <Kingsy101> can someone help me get this installed/working
[19:34] <bucky> Ahlee, it's prolly default behavior
[19:35] <Ahlee> bucky: no, it isn't.
[19:35] <blendmaster1024> Kingsy101: it's unlikely that it's possible, wifi is a bit of a black are from linux, at least for that line of cards
[19:35] <ikonia> Ahlee: it's not default behaviour
[19:35] <bucky> Ahlee,  then change it
[19:35] <Ahlee> blendmaster1024: hfsplus is the file system type
[19:35] <jmadrid> Well... nVidia driver version 96 is enabled. But it still has issues. I mean, it all works fine... but I must connect an external monitor and enable the LCD of the laptop by using that external monitor. Would there be a way to make the LCD the default and not the VGA plug?
[19:35] <bucky> ikonia, change your password as user
[19:35] <blendmaster1024> Ahlee: yes, can i remount rw?
[19:35] <Ahlee> ikonia: I'm sorry?
[19:35] <Kingsy101> blendmaster1024 - huh? its not possible to get it working?
[19:35] <Kingsy101> impossible?
[19:35] <blendmaster1024> because i tried to and it didn't work
[19:35] <Ahlee> blendmaster1024: afaik yes
[19:35] <hendrixski> I just created a softlink to some files on my directory, now how can i grant access to others to use it as well>
[19:35] <ikonia> bucky: to not be able to change your password is not default
[19:35] <f00f> what is this interface [19:35] <blendmaster1024> Kingsy101: or ver very very hard
[19:35] <bucky> ikonia, change your password as user
[19:36] <Kingsy101> eh?
[19:36] <nh2> ikonia: isn't that information somewhere in apt? because during installation, it makes the dirs usable by the equivalent users, eg. /var/log/news news:news
[19:36] <ikonia> bucky: what about it
[19:36] <jmadrid> Thanks jason_froebe! Let's see how it goes.
[19:36] <bucky> ikonia, change your password as user
[19:36] <ikonia> nh2: no, it's part of the package
[19:36] <Kingsy101> isnt that stupid that you cant even use a belkin card on ubuntu?
[19:36] <ikonia> bucky: what about it ?
[19:36] <Ahlee> bucky: you can change your current password as the user without issue
[19:36] <bucky> ikonia, change your password as user
[19:36] <bucky> ikonia, change your password as user
[19:36] <bucky> ikonia, change your password as user
[19:36] <FloodBot3> bucky: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:36] <bucky> ikonia, change your password as user
[19:36] <blendmaster1024> Ahlee: that's what i thought too, but then it didn't work - do you know how to do that? or a place where it's decsribed?
[19:37] <Ahlee> blendmaster1024: any errors getting passed to syslog/dmesg when you mount with -rw?
[19:37] <Ahlee> i'm looking for an hfs+ formated usb stick to play along at home
[19:37] <llutz> hendrixski: softlinks will always have same permissions as origin-file, even if shown different by ls -l
[19:38] <blendmaster1024> Ahlee: no idea, i'm actually back on the mac side now
[19:38] <jason_froebe> blendmaster: how to enable write support for hfs+ filesystems:  http://www.ubuntuproductivity.com/journal/macintosh/08/2009/readwrite-to-hfs-on-ubuntu/
[19:38] <hendrixski> llutz, yep, so the question is what persmissions do I need to set it to for others to be able to access?
[19:38] <blendmaster1024> jason_froebe: thanks!!
[19:38] <jason_froebe> np
[19:38] <hendrixski> llutz, do i chmod it to group or something?
[19:38] <hendrixski> llutz, err, rather chown?
[19:39] <hendrixski> or should I chmod it to lik 777 or something (if that's safe for something that's going to be hosting a website
[19:39] <llutz> hendrixski: chown it to a group all your users are member off, chmod g+rw to files
[19:39] <iceroot> hendrixski: 777 is never save
[19:39] <llutz> hendrixski: chown 777 is never a good idea
[19:39] <Ahlee> llutz is correct, both to the group and 777
[19:40] <hendrixski> good thing I asked about the 777
[19:40] <llutz> Ahlee: NOT 777
[19:40] <hendrixski> so chmod g+rw  will let other users edit it in a safe way
[19:40] <hellfire> VMWare Workstation 6.5.3 Release: Ubuntu 9.04 is fully supported.
[19:40] <Ahlee> hendrixski: that is the best way.
[19:41] <f00f> anyone know what the as0t0 is under my ifconfig ?
[19:41] <f00f> as0t0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00

[19:41] <whartung> can someone give me a pointer on how I would go about installing postgres 7.4 on a Ubuntu 8.10 system?
[19:41] <hendrixski> Ahlee, llutz, iceroot thanks :-D
[19:42] <f00f> sorry baout that
[19:42] <f00f> i thought i only pasted the first line
[19:42] <jiffe> is there a way to ignore file conflicts between packages w/ apt-get install?
[19:42] <joeb3_> f00f, you running openvpn?
[19:42] <Ahlee> ipv6 tunnel mayhaps?
[19:42] <f00f> joeb3_: yes... but i since uninstalled it... that is creating instances in my iptables and godd knows what else... i want my server to just work not keep me from accessing the outside network
[19:43] <jason_froebe> whartung - you can just install the individual .deb files from http://www.postgresql.org/download/linux
[19:43] <Ahlee> f00f: check /etc/network/interfaces - is it defined there?
[19:43] <f00f> Ahlee: no it's not defined... thats the problem :p
[19:44] <duffydack> 0oo, shiny vbox update
[19:44] <mkjackson> hey folks, I was wanting to make it so that when I hit "<super><alt>e" nautilus comes up with root privledges... I've tried binding the command "sudo Nautilus /" but it doesn't work (I assume because it requires a password).  Is there a way to pipe in the password or have it prompt for the password in a fashion similar to when you're add/removing apps?
[19:45] <jason_froebe> mkjackson - man gksudo
[19:45] <joeb3_> mkjackson, gksu nautilus
[19:46] <jmadrid> Allright.  It appears that it worked. Haven't restarted yet but, the sudo thing poped up the GUI.
[19:46] <jmadrid> I'll try it again just in case..
[19:47] <ori> kjhk
[19:47] <Ahlee> my issue is defintely related to pam, restoring stock common-"account|auth|password|session" allows local accounts to change their passwords
[19:47] <Curtis_B> ok, i got a noob question - in gnome, whenever there are OS updates, I get prompted automatically. In Ubuntu server, nothing prompts me for updates. What do I need to do to see available updates?
[19:47] <hendrixski> llutz, is there already a group that all users would be a part of?
[19:47] <jason_froebe> Ahlee - pam can be extremely painful to get right
[19:48] <hendrixski> or should Ic reate a new one for these people who will need to edit this file?
[19:48] <Ahlee> jason_froebe: you're telling me, especially with 6.06, 7.10, and 8.04 instances present
[19:48] <jmadrid> OK. Restarting now. Please cross your fingers! Thanks again jason_froebe! :D
[19:48] <jason_froebe> Curtis_B - sudo aptitude update <-- after updating, it'll tell you the number of packages available for upgrading
[19:48] <Bilge> Can lilo actually boot Ubuntu kernel images?
[19:49] <jason_froebe> Bilge - yes
[19:49] <Ahlee> hendrixski: by default everybody gets created with their own UID and GID IIRC, your probably going to want to create your own group and add those members you want accessing the file to taht group
[19:49] <Zachk18> Curtis_B, or you can use sudo apt-get update which is better
[19:49] <ilowe> Curtis_B: you may be looking for something like "unattended-upgrades"
[19:49] <dragon> !gpl
[19:49] <ilowe> Curtis_B: you can customize it so that it auto-updates stuff other than security updates
[19:49] <hendrixski> Ahlee, I see, I'll create a group then
[19:49] <dragon> What is Ubuntu's relationship with the GPL?
[19:49] <jason_froebe> ilowe - for servers, automatic upgrades can be tricky but ymmv
[19:50] <Zachk18> #ubuntu-beginners-help is there for all your noobetry questions
[19:50] <Curtis_B> jason_froebe, Zach18, ilowe, all good information - thank you!
[19:50] <jason_froebe> dragon - they're in love ;-)
[19:50] <Bilge> jason_froebe: I don't know what I'm doing wrong then because it's not booting for me but I can't see anything because I'm rebooting remotely
[19:50] <dragon> jason_froebe: haha nice
[19:50] <ilowe> jason_froebe: absolutely... but it's the closest thing to automatic behaviour of the update-manager in X (that I know of)
[19:50] <jason_froebe> Bilge, ubuntu by default uses grub..  any particular reason why you want to use lilo?
[19:51] <Bilge> Not with my provider
[19:51] <kopos> quit
[19:51] <Bilge> They have set it up to use lilo and grub is not installed
[19:51] <Bilge> And they have also compiled their own kernel
[19:51] <Bilge> So I installed linux-image-server to get the stock Ubuntu kernel and now I am trying to make lilo boot it, but it won't
[19:51] <jmadrid> It worked!!! :D
[19:52] <Bilge> I don't know what I'm missing
[19:52] <jason_froebe> Bilge - take a look at http://www.control-escape.com/linux/lilo-cfg.html
[19:52] <dragon> Is there a command-line tool to change the apt mirrors without modifying the sources.list file?
[19:52] <dragon> !enter | Bilge
[19:52] <Gnea> dragon: no.
[19:52] <ptiloup> lut tou le monde
[19:53] <ilowe> Bilge: do you have access to the disk or are you in a VM?
[19:53] <dragon> Gnea: there is a GUI tool for doing that, so I'm still wondering.
[19:53] <Bilge> I've read the man page for lilo.conf
[19:53] <ptiloup> hello every body
[19:53] <Bilge> It's a dedicated server and I have full disk access yes
[19:53] <Gnea> dragon: sources.list gets modified no matter what. no way to avoid it.
[19:53] <jason_froebe> Bilge - every time you make a change to the lilo.conf file, you need to build the lilo boot image.  "lilo" iirc
[19:53] <dooglus> can I expect a windows WLAN driver to work on a 64 bit Ubuntu install using ndiswrapper?
[19:53] <shaffy> hi!  can anyone tell me if it is possible, and if so, how to change the "theme" of ubuntu 9.04 netbook remix so that it looks like a regular ubuntu desktop?  i don't want the stock theme.
[19:53] <nightcrow> hello
[19:53] <ptiloup> who are french ???
[19:54] <ptiloup> ^^"
[19:54] <Bilge> jason_froebe: of course, and I have done, otherwise I wouldn't have the boot problem. It won't boot the stock Ubuntu kernel with my definition
[19:54] <Gnea> !fr | ptiloup
[19:54] <nightcrow> im installing Ubuntu 9.04 Server and was wondering if anyone can tell me where I can find Samba, PDC, SSH, DNS, DHCP, Myclockd, TFTP in the install
[19:54] <nightcrow> i have found samba, DNS and SSH
[19:54] <dragon> Gnea: I never said I wanted to avoid it.
[19:54] <nightcrow> but cant see to find PDC, DHCP, Myclockd, and TFTP
[19:54] <Gnea> nightcrow: you have to install them with apt
[19:54] <dragon> Gnea: What I said was ambiguous, sorry.
[19:54] <Gnea> dragon: then I misunderstood what you wrote.
[19:54] <jason_froebe> nightcrow - sudo aptitude search <something>
[19:54] <llutz> jason_froebe: no need for sudo
[19:55] <dragon> Is there a command-line tool to change the apt mirrors instead of modifying the sources.list file manually?
[19:55] <jason_froebe> llutz - true... just habit :)
[19:55] <nightcrow> Gnea, jason_froebe, this machine isnt connected to the internet
[19:55] <llutz> bad habit then :)
[19:55] <nightcrow> i was hoping i would be able to add them via the CD
[19:55] <dwarder> what substitutes rc-default in ubuntu 8.10
[19:55] <Guest89995> hi .... how can i put a icon of my network manager in the panel? ( my network manager is Wicd )
[19:55] <Gnea> nightcrow: so pop the cd in
[19:55] <Bilge> Is there anything apparently wrong with my lilo.conf? http://paste.ubuntu.com/288040/
[19:55] <nightcrow> Gnea: ive got the cd in :)
[19:55] <Ahlee> when did aptitude replace apt-get/apt-cache?
[19:56] <nightcrow> now i dont know how to add them :)
[19:56] <Guest89995> a icon with the status of the network manager
[19:56] <Gnea> Ahlee: it didn't. they're both available.
[19:56] <vge> battle goes on
[19:56] <Ahlee> Gnea: I know, but I never see people reference apt-cache/apt-get, everybody defaults to aptitude now it seems
[19:56] <Gnea> Ahlee: then you aren't around much
[19:57] <Guest89995> can anyone help me?
[19:57] <vge> http://www.googlefight.com/index.php?lang=en_GB&word1=aptitude&word2=apt-get
[19:57] <nightcrow> hehe
[19:57] <nightcrow> :)
[19:57] <shaffy> hi!  can anyone tell me if it is possible, and if so, how to change the "desktop theme" of ubuntu 9.04 netbook remix so that it looks like a regular ubuntu desktop?
[19:58] <Gnea> dragon: I can't find one... never had a problem doing it manually anyway
[19:58] <naxa> hi! when I say "sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 9E691625", my computer say "sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 9E691625" what could cause this timeout?
[19:58] <The_Doctor> shaffy: try right click on the desktop and change desktop background.
[19:58] <vassago> shaffy, look through the System->Preferences menu
[19:58] <dbugger> Hey guys
[19:58] <naxa> hey sorry
[19:59] <dragon> Gnea: I can do it manually, but I wasn't sure which ones to leave untouched. I'm trying to change all possible sources to mirrors.us.kernel.org.
[19:59] <naxa> i meant: when I say "sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 9E691625", my computer say "gpg: keyserver timed out" what could cause this timeout?
[19:59] <Gnea> dragon: then use the search-and-replace in vim
[19:59] <dbugger> Im using the karmic Beta, and I have a question... Does the indicator apple indicate ANYTHING? Cos I dont see any kind of difference with new mail or unread messages in pidgin nor empathy
[19:59] <dragon> Gnea: and which ones should I replace?
[20:00] <Kraln> quick question - is there a quick way to upgrade from jaunty to the karmic beta (running netbook remix) ?
[20:00] <dragon> Gnea: us.archive.ubuntu.com?
[20:00] <Gnea> dragon: probably anything like us.archive.ubuntu.com
[20:00] <Gnea> dragon: yeah
[20:00] <Gnea> Kraln: not until it's released
[20:00] <dragon> Gnea: Would it be ok to replace security.ubuntu.com as well?
[20:00] <bigmacx> ahh, full description of my problem's rot cause here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kexec
[20:00] <Gnea> dragon: doubt it
[20:00] <shaffy> The_Doctor: thx, got it!
[20:01] <nightcrow> anyway, how would i add those packages without being connected to the internet
[20:01] <f00f> how do i check my rc.d configs ?
[20:01] <shaffy> vassago: thx! got!
[20:01] <Kraln> okay, how about a not so quick way. ie, adding a new repo, etc etc. trying to avoid downloading the iso
[20:01] <The_Doctor> shaffy: Your welcom.
[20:01] <shaffy> :D
[20:01] <zvacet> Kraln: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/karmic/beta
[20:02] <Kraln> roger, will do
[20:02] <Kraln> ty
[20:02] <jotto> any reason to use jaunty over intrepid for server purposes?
[20:02] <jotto> or anyone have any sugestions on what to read about it?
[20:03] <jason_froebe> jotto - the newer packages & especially the newer kernel
[20:03] <jotto> ok
[20:03] <joaopinto> jotto, well, with 1 month for karmic I would wait a bit more
[20:04] <The_Doctor> joaopinto: 28 Nov
[20:04] <joaopinto> the end of support is also important
[20:04] <joaopinto> The_Doctor, you mean Oct :)
[20:04] <zvacet> nightcrow:  download them from another comp put on usb  and then install it on your comp
[20:04] <The_Doctor> Right
[20:04] <sidh> i really need your help, this thing is making me crazy
[20:04] <sidh> ok after i aptitude remove --purge kaffeine, i f i choose /dev/ALSA:surround51 as device i can watch tv and play music BUT i can not play video with mplayer
[20:04] <jason_froebe> joaopinto - only if you pay extra for support that is ;-)
[20:04] <nightcrow> zvacet: ok
[20:04] <johnni> When I try to watch an apple trailer in Gstreamer...I get can't find decoder text/html. Any idea how to fix that?
[20:04] <nightcrow> so just mount the usb?
[20:04] <The_Doctor> sidh: can you use VLC
[20:04] <sidh> i mean i can play video , but i have no sound with mplayer
[20:05] <zvacet> nightcrow:  be sure you downloaded all dependencies  ;)
[20:05] <joaopinto> jason_froebe, not really, you don't pay to get the updates, end of of support refers to that also, from an update perspective
[20:05] <nightcrow> zvacet: doh
[20:05] <nightcrow> :)
[20:05] <jotto> thanks jason_froebe and joaopinto
[20:05] <The_Doctor> sidh: Sometimes kmplayer had more audio codecs.
[20:05] <sidh> The_Doctor: still no sound with vlc
[20:05] <sidh> well i had it before i install kaffeine
[20:06] <The_Doctor> sidh: Have you checked the setting in the mixer?
[20:06] <sidh> you mean amixer
[20:06] <nightcrow> sudo apt-get search tftp returns me with E: Invalid Operation
[20:06] <The_Doctor> sidh: right click the speaker icon and open the mixer.
[20:06] <nightcrow> sudo apt-get search tftp returns me with E: Invalid Operation search
[20:07] <joaopinto> nightcrow, it,s apt-cache search, not apt-get
[20:07] <sidh> The_Doctor: i don't have such icon, it is mythbuntu
[20:07] <Pici> nightcrow: Use apt-cache to search, not apt-get
[20:07] <nightcrow> ah, ok
[20:07] <The_Doctor> Sorry
[20:07] <nightcrow> and apt-get to install?
[20:07] <joaopinto> nightcrow, yes
[20:07] <joaopinto> and are you sure you need an tftp client ?
[20:07] <joaopinto> tftp is not FTP
[20:07] <The_Doctor> sidh: but there must be a mixer some place. Are you sure the speakers are not muted?
[20:07] <joshjtl> does anyone know how to install latest moblin on ubuntu?
[20:07] <dragon> Gnea: it worked. Another question - would it be reasonable to expect the following command to work with every system?
[20:07] <dragon> sed -e 's/us.archive.ubuntu.com/mirrors.us.kernel.org/g' -i.orig sources.list
[20:07] <SierraNevadan> How can I find out what dpkg commands are run by 'apt-get remove'? Or is there a debug mode?
[20:08] <nightcrow> joaopinto, Pici: same error
[20:08] <sidh> The_Doctor: sure because sound get out with tv and music
[20:08] <sidh> but it is mythtv apps
[20:08] <joaopinto> nightcrow, why do you need tftp in the first place ?
[20:08] <Pici> nightcrow: what command arou you runing?
[20:08] <The_Doctor> sidh: If it uses pulse audio, each app has its own setting.
[20:08] <joaopinto> Siegfried, it executes the postrm scripts for every package being removed
[20:08] <nightcrow> joaopinto: why not?
[20:08] <nightcrow> Pici: it worked now
[20:08] <nightcrow> :)
[20:08] <nightcrow> typo
[20:08] <nightcrow> sudo apt-get search tftp
[20:09] <nightcrow> but joaopinto, why nit?
[20:09] <nightcrow> not
[20:09] <joaopinto> nightcrow, why should you ? do you have any trivial ftp server around ?
[20:09] <llutz> apt-cache search
[20:09] <joaopinto> nightcrow, do you understantd that TFTP and FTP are different protocols ?
[20:09] <rom1v> hi
[20:09] <nightcrow> joaopinto: yes
[20:09] <nightcrow> i want to use it for PXE
[20:09] <rom1v> what is the default ftp server in ubuntu server?
[20:09] <joaopinto> ah ok
[20:09] <shaul_> is there a c# compiler for linux?
[20:09] <nightcrow> hmmm, now, what is Myclockd?
[20:10] <jpds> !mono | shaul_
[20:10] <nightcrow> I need to install that, but cant find i

[20:10] <theshadow> I had to kill my taskbar, now I want to relaunch it. What is the taskbar app called so I can do that?
[20:10] <joaopinto> nightcrow, you must have the universe repositor enabled
[20:10] <trism> shaul_: it is in the mono-smcs package
[20:10] <Trance> I checked Auto hid for my panel but when I want to see it it doesn't display
[20:10] <nightcrow> joaopinto: sorry?
[20:10] <nightcrow> universe repo?
[20:11] <joaopinto> !universe | nightcrow
[20:11] <nightcrow> joaopinto: isnt it set up by default?
[20:11] <joaopinto> nightcrow, if the package is not available, it is not at least on your system, so please check it
[20:12] <nightcrow> i found tftp
[20:12] <nightcrow> installed it :)
[20:12] <Trance> I checked Auto hid for my panel but when I want to see it it doesn't display
[20:12] <nightcrow> so i guess the repo is enable by default
[20:12] <kraito> i can't get my cube to be see from the outside instead of the outside. can anybody help me with that?

[20:21] <nightcrow> guys, how do i define the samba server as PDC
[20:21] <Keiya_> Is there an alternative to the calendar part of Outlook that actually /works/?
[20:21] <The_Doctor> kb3cda: I use Konversation because it is in the graphical interface instead of a command. But you can find the command through google.

[20:24] <cpt> Hello, people!
[20:24] <The_Doctor> Pulga: Druple, sorry
[20:24] <purpzey> Can someone help me trouble shoot my Gnome-power-manager. The tray icon says I am hooked up to AC power and there is no battery present, but my battery is there and present, is it possible my battery is not working properly or is it a problem with Ubuntu?
[20:25] <zvacet> dragon: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-search.en.html
[20:25] <fccf> The_Doctor: Pulga: Druple is a Content Managment System ... Not a webpage editor , and IMHO is more trouble than it is worth
[20:25] <cpt> Is there any mainteiners or developers?
[20:25] <erUSUL> cpt: not likely
[20:25] <jason_froebe> purpzey - it'll depend on your laptop
[20:26] <fccf> cpt: be more spacific , I'll point you in the right direction,  what package?
[20:26] <purpzey> jason_froebe: Is there a way to tell without pulling the cable and seeing if it turns off?
[20:27] <cpt> I want to give some wishes to improve ubuntu...
[20:27] <netbook> Hi I need some wireless help. I am joining some wireless networks through commandline. I need to join my Uni network and instructions are here: http://www.itlabs.umn.edu/help/network/wireless-linux-wpa.php
[20:27] <netbook> but that is for wpa-supplicant, not for etc/network/interfaces
[20:27] <peterr> hi, How can I watermark many photos in one go? Can I use Gwenview to do this?
[20:27] <jason_froebe> purpzey - possibly.. you need to make sure you have the correct sensors enabled... and those will depend on your lapotp
[20:27] <netbook> i found a script that can switch between interfaces
[20:27] <netbook> so I am wondering how to translate the wpa_supplicant syntax to /etc/network/interfaces syntax
[20:28] <ax-ax> lol syntax triggered a hl
[20:28] <purpzey> jason_froebe: Sony Vaio VGN-FS990
[20:28] <fccf> cpt: somebody is probably already ahead of you ... see www.launchpad.net/ubuntu - this is where development happens ... what you are talking about comes in the form of a Blueprint ... that is what you need to write
[20:28] <Slart> peterr: I would use imagemagick for something like that
[20:28] <Slart> peterr: it might be possible to do it using gimp as well
[20:29] <agustosba> layn
[20:29] <peterr> Slart: thanks.
[20:30] <netbook> anyone up for the wireless question?
[20:30] <fccf> !anyone | netbook
[20:30] <netbook> ubottu ok thanks
[20:30] <ubox> greetings room
[20:30] <fccf> !patience | netbook
[20:30] <fccf> !hi | ubox
[20:31] <cpt> ok,fccf, I follow your advise, thank you
[20:31] <netbook> oh that is a bot ><
[20:31] <ubox> yep
[20:31] <nutterpc> depends what the wireless question is
[20:31] <wasutton3> If i create a live usb drive (using unetbootin) will i be able to boot an imac (late 2008 model) off of it?
[20:31] <ubox> anyone have an idea hot to enable cl whois to query more than just .com .edu and .net?
[20:32] <fsufitch> hi, i have a problem: i can't install python-dev (or python2.6-dev)
[20:32] <fccf> wasutton3: I'm gunna say probably, not sure how the mac boots from USB though
[20:32] <fsufitch> i'm getting a 404 from aptitude
[20:32] <nutterpc> if the LiveUSB you are building is built to support it wasutton3 yes
[20:32] <durt> !brainstorm | cpt
[20:32] <gartral> hi all, how do i scan my network to see all the switches and such?
[20:32] <ubox> fsufitch: perhaps a repository is not enabled
[20:32] <netbook> Does anyone here know how to tranlsate the wpa_supplicant syntax found here: http://www.itlabs.umn.edu/help/network/wireless-linux-wpa.php to the syntax found in /etc/network/interfaces?
[20:33] <wasutton3> nutterpc: its just the latest jaunty i386 disk image
[20:33] <Slart> gartral: nmap might find stuff.. I doubt it will see a simple switch though
[20:33] <cpt> ok,ubottu
[20:33] <fsufitch> ubox: it's not telling me that the package isn't found, rather it finds the package, but gets a 404 when it tries to grab it
[20:33] <nutterpc> fsufitch, try the mirror you are using, it normally indicates a 404 error that the mirror in question may/may not have it
[20:33] <joaopinto> netbook, wpa_supplicant is not related to /etc/network/interfaces, you can use wpa_supplicant on Ubuntu
[20:33] <fsufitch> nutterpc, how do I change a mirror?
[20:34] <Slart> ubox: I haven't done any special configuring and as far as I can tell it finds stuff in lots of top domains
[20:34] <ubox> fsufitch: perhaps a firewall issue?
[20:34] <fsufitch> nutterpc, this is the us ubuntu archives which should have it ;)
[20:34] <nutterpc> ahhhh
[20:34] <jason_froebe> purpezy - look like there is an open bug regarding this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/laptop-detect/+bug/368967
[20:34] <Out_Cold> fsufitch, could be the server is down
[20:34] <fsufitch> ubox, i can install other packages from the same archive just fine
[20:34] <netbook> joaopinto I found a script to switch easily between networks in network/interfaces. I want to join multiple networks
[20:34] <ubox> slart: really? i try and i claims i can only do those three. try my site www.robloranger.ca
[20:34] <Out_Cold> oh nvm
[20:34] <grekkos> this isn't exactly an ubuntu issue, but i'm having trouble setting up my compiz to use alt + right click to resize windows, can anyone help? or point me in the right direction?
[20:34] <fsufitch> Out_Cold, nope, i can find the directory on the server using firefox, just that the package isn't there
[20:34] <fsufitch> http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/p/python2.6/
[20:35] <Out_Cold> fsufitch, try another repo?
[20:35] <nutterpc> fsufitch, that means as I mentioned
[20:35] <ubox> fsufitch: that is strange, maybe the particular server is temporarily down. you could try to compile from source
[20:35] <nutterpc> its a mirror issue
[20:35] <Doc-Saintly> Is there a way to make the default vnc server in ubuntu poll full-screen?
[20:35] <nutterpc> I pick my new mobile phone up today'
[20:35] <Slart> ubox: works nicely.. registered 2009-01-30 bla bla bla
[20:35] <nutterpc> yay
[20:36] <Slart> !ccsm | grekkos
[20:36] <fsufitch> oh wait, nevermind guys, an apt-get update fixed it... sorry!
[20:36] <ubox> slart: booo, maybe it's my version. do you know the package name so i can try to upgrade?
[20:37] <Slart> ubox: I'm running whois v4.7.30 .. afaik it's the regular version available in jaunty
[20:37] <ubox> i'm still on ibex as when i tried jaunty it broke during upgrade
[20:37] <balint> hi guys, I use this command to start an X server: startx -- `which Xvfb` :1 -auth /etc/X99.cfg -screen 0 1024x768x24 2>&1 >/dev/null
[20:37] <grekkos> Slart: that kind of helped but i'm already using ccsm and it's just not changing the key when i change the setting
[20:37] <ubox> i will be on jaunty or karmic later today when i get my hp pav
