[00:00] <icehawk78> I've got a session of screen running on my ubuntu server that I always connect to whenever I ssh in (screen -x). Is there any way to 'back up' that session of screen or something similar?

[00:01] <WesTCB> its still typing the same way
[00:01] <WesTCB> do i have to reboot for efects
[00:02] <mechdave> NewWave, sometimes it takes a little while, the other way to do it is Places-->connect to server and enter the ip address of the other machine in it and connect using samba
[00:02] <spezticle> if i install gnome to make network settings, but then disable gnomes auto start up will the connections stay or does gnome need to run to actuate the settings?
[00:03] <NewWave> mechdave: note: the folder is really shared. Appears an network ipictureabove the icon folder
[00:04] <mechdave> NewWave, there should be 2 little arrows above the folder
[00:04] <WesTCB> a got it
[00:04] <sebsebseb> !java | drdozer1

[00:14] <cletus> Dear ubuntu irc, i seek help. I want to install ubuntu on an old harddrive. It is the slave of my windows install right now. If I install will i have windows boot manager come up and automatically select xp after 10 seconds or whatever?(i want this)
[00:14] <ikonia> cletus: no you won't
[00:14] <drizzt_> cletus, you will have to do it manually
[00:14] <ikonia> cletus: you'll get grub
[00:15] <cletus> I want to use wbm, Ive heard there can be problems with grub
[00:15] <ikonia> cletus: you heard wrong
[00:15] <ikonia> cletus: you can't use windows boot manager
[00:15] <mechdave> cletus, you can configure it to boot windows by default with grub
[00:15] <cletus> Well Can I have grub boot into windows automaitically after a while like i said?
[00:15] <ikonia> cletus: yes
[00:15] <cletus> nvm
[00:15] <mechdave> cletus, I know of no problems with grub
[00:16] <cletus> @mechadave mustve been some retard on the forums then
[00:16] <drizzt_> ikonia, i cannot? it worked with Grub 1
[00:16] <ikonia> cletus: drop with the name calling - you're asking the questions,
[00:16] <cletus> Alright, So after my new install on the slave will my computer boot into ubuntu automatically?
[00:16] <cletus> lol
[00:16] <ikonia> drizzt_: you cannot what ?
[00:16] <ikonia> cletus: it will boot into grub, you can configure grub to auto boot windows or linux
[00:16] <drizzt_> use windows boot loader to start grub2
[00:17] <cletus> So grub will already be installed?
[00:17] <ikonia> drizzt_: you are not meant to do that
[00:17] <mechdave> cletus, lol, there may be a development version with problems at some stage, maybe someone didn't understand properly as well :)
[00:17] <cletus> herm :/
[00:17] <ikonia> cletus: grub will be installed onto the primary disk's mbr as part of the ubuntu install
[00:17] <mechdave> drizzt_, I do not recommend that...
[00:18] <cletus> well.
[00:19] <cletus> Will anything be messed up should I decide to get rid of ubuntu?
[00:19] <mechdave> cletus, basically go ahead and install your ubuntu on the second drive, being careful not to overwrite your windows install, grub will automatically install itself on the MBR and you can then select windows on reboot.
[00:19] <Docteh> since theres lucid lucid-updates and lucid-security does that mean if I apt-mirror the "lucid" repo i don't have to worry about it changing?
[00:19] <ikonia> cletus: the only thing you'll need to do is re-apply(install) the windows mbr
[00:19] <cletus> Is that hard?
[00:19] <mechdave> cletus, if you want to get rid of ubuntu all you do is boot into windows and run mbrfix
[00:19] <ikonia> cletus: no, boot from windows cd, one repair command, its well documented
[00:20] <cletus> ehhh
[00:20] <cletus> I dont know if I know where my cd's at lol
[00:20] <ikonia> cletus: then find them
[00:20] <giiker> ikonia: I aliased a program command, which needs to be run a sudo, now Iḿ getting permission deniedwhen running the aliased command
[00:20] <cletus> noooooo
[00:20] <ikonia> giiker: what is the alias
[00:21] <Docteh> uh cant you fix the mbr from linux as well?
[00:21] <FrozenFire> Is there a panel widget which shows a text entry, which take the text entered in that entry, and uses it as the parameter to a command?
[00:21] <ikonia> Docteh: you have to take a manual backup of the mbr using dd first
[00:21] <mechdave> cletus, download another --> http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download
[00:21] <cletus> Not if im uninstalling it lol
[00:21] <Docteh> the default mbr is kind of simple
[00:21] <ikonia> mechdave: windows cd is what he's missing
[00:21] <cletus> right
[00:21] <mechdave> ikonia, oops :)
[00:21] <giiker> ikonia: in my alias file it is like this: subsonic='/home/notyou/programs/subsonic-3.7-standalone/subsonic.sh'
[00:21] <mechdave> cletus, can you still boot into windows?
[00:22] <cletus> Yes?
[00:22] <ikonia> giiker: so alias it to sudo /home/notyou/blah
[00:22] <userone> got it...renameusbdrive..
[00:22] <mechdave> cletus, AND YOU WANT TO REMOVE UBUNTU?
[00:22] <giiker> ikonia: let me see
[00:22] <mechdave> Oops caps... sorry
[00:22] <cletus> No, I havnt installed it yet
[00:22] <cletus> But ive dabbled with wubi on the same hd as my windows install
[00:22] <bsmith093> i just did a tone of partition editing to expand my windows install alsong side my lucid install
[00:22] <King_of_Metal> Hi, I'm trying to get my wifi working through the command line, but I'm not having success. I generated the wpa_supplicant.conf with wpa_passphrase and I'm running `wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf`. I only receive as a clue "Disconnect event - remove keys" and I get associated. What can I do?
[00:22] <mechdave> cletus, you can boot into windows and repair the MBR through the command line without the cdrom
[00:23] <bsmith093> now ive booted into grub rescue HELP what do i do
[00:23] <cletus> @mechdave: Alright, awesome.
[00:23] <cletus> Basically id just be getting rid of the option for ubuntu then?
[00:24] <cletus> LIke, it wouldnt actually cause many problems if I didnt repair it?
[00:24] <Docteh> i should rewrite apt-cacher to have an ondisk layout closer to apt-mirror
[00:24] <g0st> i am trying to install linux from a cd on to an emachine, however when i boot up the emachine it freezes at verifying dmi pool data. i tried to switch the bios to boot from the cd drive but im still hitting a wall, anybody have any thoughts?
[00:24] <mechdave> cletus, yes, if you re write the MBR you will still have ubuntu on the second drive, just remove the partition on the second drive to get rid of ubuntu
[00:25] <Docteh> g0st: try a different cd, or try booting off of usb
[00:25] <cletus> okkkk, thanks you all have been VERY helpful
[00:25] <mechdave> cletus, no, windows and linux will happily co exist on different drives :)
[00:25] <Berxwedan> guys i downloaded "Stockfish"
[00:25] <Berxwedan> there's one Makefile in the src folder
[00:25] <cletus> Im a happy script kiddy :]
[00:25] <Berxwedan> how do i compile it?
[00:25] <Spenc0r> Does anyone know why after waking the computer up from Standby, the ath5k wireless stops working, untill i restart.
[00:25] <ikonia> Berxwedan: read the file called README or INSTALL
[00:26] <Berxwedan> no configure or install
[00:26] <kzman> where is the appearence directory?
[00:26] <ikonia> Berxwedan: there should be a README and INSTALL file
[00:26] <giiker> ikonia: it worked, I knew it would be something like this, but forgot it. thanks, do you know why after using my sudo passwd my shell still remembers it after opening another one?
[00:26] <mechdave> cletus, go and install if you want, we will be here to help you along the way :)
[00:26] <mojito> does anyone knows why the canon Rebel XT driver for Lucyd Lynx 64 bits dont work properly?
[00:26] <ikonia> giiker: 15 minute time out
[00:26] <g0st> i dont have a flash drive, and the cd came with the ubuntu book i bought, any thoughts on how to work around/fix the freeze at the "verifying dmi pool data" screen?
[00:26] <giiker> ikonia: thnx alot!!
[00:26] <ikonia> welcome
[00:26] <bobfcincinnati> hey guys possibly a dumb question. I have my httpd set to run as apache:apache in my httpd.conf and i did a chown on my web directory to foo:apache and set permission u+wrx,g+r but apache still wont' read them unless I make apache a member of the foo group in /etc/group ... shouldn't I not have to make it a member of the group since i set the group to apache?
[00:27] <giiker> anybody else here uses subsonic?
[00:27] <mario_> hi all
[00:27] <k0d3g3ar> bobfcincinnati, depends where your logs are being written to
[00:27] <foul_owl> anyone here use an alternative to facebook?
[00:27] <Berxwedan> ikonia: there's only a Makefile file, rest are .cpp and .h files
[00:27] <ikonia> bobfcincinnati: check if apache is actually a mamber of the apache group
[00:28] <k0d3g3ar> foul_owl, yeh, don't use facebook.  there's an alternative
[00:28] <mechdave> mojito, is there a driver for that camera?
[00:28] <Berxwedan> readme tells me to use makefile
[00:28] <ikonia> Berxwedan: make -c $makefile
[00:28] <giiker> foul_owl: there is one, but I forgot the name, google: facebook alternative
[00:28] <Berxwedan> ahh that's all? thank you :)
[00:28] <bobfcincinnati> ikonia: apache:x:48:apache
[00:28] <cletus> I want to download the latest ubuntu from a torrent
[00:28] <ikonia> bobfcincinnati: did you do chown -R on the direcotry
[00:28] <cletus> which one do i want? http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download
[00:28] <bobfcincinnati> k0d3g3ar: /home/foo/logs live directory /home/foo/public
[00:28] <bobfcincinnati> ikonia, yes
[00:29] <bobfcincinnati> ikonia, the direcotries are acutally 755
[00:29] <ikonia> bobfcincinnati: that should work fine (works fine for me here)
[00:29] <foul_owl> i have googled them, i want to know your personal experiences with various ones
[00:29] <bobfcincinnati> ikonia: wihout apache being a member of the foo group?
[00:29] <k0d3g3ar> bobfcincinnati, what does your error logs say?
[00:29] <bobfcincinnati> k0d3g3ar: sec .. i have it set back to what works
[00:29] <happyface> how do I increase the timeout where gnome locks me out?
[00:29] <mechdave> cletus, what kind of machine do you have?
[00:29] <ikonia> bobfcincinnati: foo is the owner user, the foo group has no relevence
[00:30] <cletus> desktop
[00:30] <mechdave> cletus, Ok, 32 bit or 64 bit processor?
[00:30] <giiker> foul_owl: I usually create fake accounts to test any app/service/webservice etc. better from your own!
[00:30] <cletus> I dunno D: 2.4 ghz single core i believe
[00:30] <alesan> hi! I have a program (evtest) that I wish to understand to which package it is contained
[00:30] <alesan> given a file, how do I find its package?
[00:31] <mechdave> cletus, if you are unsure download the 32 bit desktop version... I think that is best for a beginner :)
[00:31] <alesan> should I use the "apt-get" thing?
[00:31] <bobfcincinnati> ikonia: k0d3g3ar: I'm stupid haha did the -R on one site but not the other
[00:31] <bobfcincinnati> cheers for the help!
[00:31] <cletus> @mechdave the i386?
[00:31] <trism> alesan: dpkg -S path
[00:32] <trism> alesan: assuming it is installed, you can use apt-file if it isn't
[00:32] <giiker> anybody else here uses subsonic?
[00:32] <mechdave> cletus, yeah, unless you have a 64 bit processor...
[00:32] <cletus> I wouldnt know lol, isnt there a start run command to know
[00:32] <mechdave> cletus, although the 32 bit would still work on a 64 bit machine
[00:32] <Spenc0r> Does anyone know why after waking the computer up from Standby, the ath5k wireless stops working untill i restart?
[00:33] <Berxwedan> ikonia: it just showed the usage of the make command
[00:33] <ikonia> Berxwedan: make -C
[00:33] <Berxwedan> yeah
[00:33] <ZykoticK9> cletus, if you open a terminal and type "cat /proc/cpuinfo" you could find the CPU name and find out if it's 32 or 64 bit
[00:33] <mechdave> cletus, download the 32 bit i386 from here --> http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download
[00:33] <ikonia> Berxwedan: make -F
[00:34] <cletus> im in windows but i believe i have 64 bit?
[00:34] <bastidrazor> Spenc0r: this isn't a solution but a workaround.. unload the module then reload it. sudo modprode -r ath5k && sudo modprobe ath5k
[00:34] <cletus> "amd athlon 64 processor"
[00:34] <Spenc0r> okay thanks bastidrazor
[00:34] <mechdave> cletus, get the 64 bit version then :)
[00:34] <ZykoticK9> cletus, so you could use 64 or 32 bit - 32bit is typically a little easier, but if you have more the 4G RAM go 64bit
[00:34] <Berxwedan> actually it was -f ikonia :D
[00:34] <mechdave> cletus, same location, just select the 64 bit radio button :)
[00:35] <cletus> Well atm I only have 1 gig xD   so id want 32?
[00:35] <Berxwedan> thank you ikonia
[00:36] <giiker> anybody else here uses subsonic?
[00:36] <Spenc0r> ah there we go hid joins/parts
[00:36] <cletus> well shit, i think i am 32 bit. This is very confusing
[00:37] <ikonia> cletus: control your language
[00:37] <lep2> fresh install of 10.04 LTS from alternate cd .... and I'm getting the message 'Error: failed to connect to NBD server.' when trying to boot an ltsp client
[00:37] <ZykoticK9> Spenc0r, depends on client - for xchat right click the channel on left / settings "hide join/parts..."
[00:37] <Spenc0r> yea i done it,
[00:37] <lep2> the client boots and shows the ubuntu boot splash...then bails out to a busybox prompt
[00:37] <ZykoticK9> Spenc0r, oh sorry my bad
[00:37] <Spenc0r> Lol its cool.
[00:38] <jchristensen> anyone know how to stop my touchpad from going bezerk on my dell studio 1555
[00:38] <mechdave> cletus, when you boot the computer what does BIOS report your processor as?
[00:38] <happyface> how do I increase the timeout where gnome locks me out?
[00:38] <Spenc0r> also i have anyother uh "issue" as it was over the recent "months" of using ubuntu the start up has got very slow am i missing something, to speed it up again. i remove non used packages] already.
[00:39] <cletus> @mechdave I dunno
[00:39] <Spenc0r> removed*
[00:39] <PigeonCluster> happosade, system->preferences->screensaver and change the time till screensaver start
[00:39] <mechdave> cletus, are you going to install on the machine you are using now?
[00:39] <happyface> thanks PigeonCluster
[00:39] <PigeonCluster> happosade, sorry, i meant happyface
[00:39] <cletus> under winmsd.exe it says x86 for processor which i suppose means 32, and yes on this machine
[00:39] <schoppenhauer> hello. i just read that there was a colinux-based ubuntu named "andlinux". since afaik colinux doesnt support 64 bit windows yet, does this support the PAE-Extension ("bigmem"), since I am thinking of buying additional RAM soon, and wiould then have 4 gig
[00:39] <schoppenhauer> and need either bigmem or 64 bit to use it
[00:39] <paraintj> what was the name of the channel that does the linux application voting?
[00:40] <PigeonCluster> paraintj, hold on, waiting on ubottu
[00:40] <jdeloach> Could someone help me get a new SATA card setup? On Newegg reviewers said it worked with no drivers for them on previous versions of Ubuntu, however I cannot find it on lshw or lspci.
[00:40] <mechdave> cletus, yeah, grab the 32 bit version... even if your machine turns out to be 64 bit the 32 bit version will still run, but the 64 bit version will not run on a 32 bit machine :)
[00:41] <alesan> trism, how do I download the "source" of a given package?
[00:41] <PigeonCluster> jdeloach, if it doesn't even show up, check the connections and bios three times
[00:41] <Berxwedan> guys do you know a cool GUI for stockfish chess engine?
[00:41] <alesan> I want "evtest package sources for example
[00:41] <alesan> I want "evtest" package sources for example
[00:41] <cletus> @mechdave: cool, cool. downloading now, biting the bullet
[00:41] <keystone> jjeloach:if tou have anothe machine try install in that
[00:41] <jdeloach> PidgeonCluster: This is an OLD computer (10+) the connections look good. It doesn't mention anything about it in the BIOS.
[00:41] <mechdave> cletus,  go for it :)
[00:42] <jdeloach> keystone: As a last option, okay.
[00:42] <PigeonCluster> !tab >jdeloach
[00:42] <PigeonCluster> !repeat > alesan
[00:42] <ZykoticK9> alesan, "sudo apt-get source evtest" might work
[00:42] <alesan> PigeonCluster, don't you see I corrected a typo?
[00:42] <PigeonCluster> paraintj, sorry, ubottu seems to be ignoring me when i ask about channels
[00:42] <mechdave> cletus, are you installing on the machine you are on now or different machine?
[00:42] <PigeonCluster> alesan, yes i do. please don;t.
[00:43] <Spenc0r> er, what helps to speed up the boot of ubuntu after it slows down? >_>
[00:43] <cletus> @mechdave this one
[00:43] <paraintj> PigeonCluster: np thanks anyway
[00:43] <alesan> PigeonCluster, the message you have sent me is highly irrelevant
[00:43] <cletus> @mechdave why
[00:43] <mechdave> cletus, righto, when you get to the partition editor on the install be careful not to accidently install over windows :)
[00:44] <cletus> ballz
[00:44] <PigeonCluster> alesan, sorry 'bout that, there isn't a factoid for everything, but it should give you a general idea of why any repeating is bad.
[00:44] <cletus> @mechdave it will show how big each is right?
[00:44] <keystone> whats the diff between gksudo and sudo?
[00:44] <alesan> PigeonCluster, so should I leave a quote open and make my message not understandable?
[00:44] <nUboon2Age> question: if you have a driver that comes as source code zipped in .bz2 can any of the package managers build it for you, or do you have to do it manually?
[00:44] <ZykoticK9> !gksudo > keystone
[00:44] <jdeloach> PidgeonCluster, the thing you had ubottu send me... it didn't send me anything.
[00:44] <PigeonCluster> alesan, it looked understandable to me.
[00:44] <ZykoticK9> keystone, one if for command line and one is for GUI programs
[00:45] <PigeonCluster> !tab > jdeloach
[00:45] <mechdave> cletus, yes, I recommend you put ubuntu on the second drive with a swap file
[00:45] <Kamilion> !rbeq
[00:45] <rdancer> hi I'm looking for a tool that captures a video of a single window, and I want to upload the resulting video on YouTube -- is there a program or toolchain that allows me to do that, on Ubuntu?
[00:45] <PigeonCluster> !msgthebot > Kamilion
[00:45] <Spenc0r> how fast Generally should ubuntu take to load up from boot? cus mine takes about 4/5 mins sometimes.
[00:45] <Kamilion> rdancer: gtkrecordmydesktop should work for that, IIRC
[00:45] <jdeloach> PigeonCluster, still not getting it. I have no idea why.
[00:46] <keystone> so thats why when you use like gksudo ,gedit, it doesnt work unless you use ' marks
[00:46] <cletus> @mechdave swapfile? What?
[00:46] <keystone> weird
[00:46] <mechdave> cletus, this is for 7.04 but it is still worth reading --> https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/installation-guide/i386/apcs03.html
[00:46] <ZykoticK9> keystone, "gksu gedit" or "gksudo gedit" should work without any ' marks
[00:46] <Danili> does anyone in here know a vSphere Client alternative for ubuntu??
[00:46] <cletus> mechdave i have 2 drives?
[00:47] <rdancer> Kamilion: it produces an Ogg video that youtube won't accept
[00:47] <keystone> didnt for me only worked with marks
[00:47] <nUboon2Age> mechdave:  question: if you have a driver that comes as source code zipped in .bz2 can any of the package managers build it for you, or do you have to do it manually?
[00:47] <rdancer> Kamilion: and VLC nor handbrake would convert to MP4
[00:47] <Kamilion> rdancer: I'd use handbrake to convert it
[00:47] <Edgan> How do I disable autoremove for aptitude? I have tried   APT::Get::AutomaticRemove "0";   APT::Get::HideAutoRemove "1";   Debug::pkgAutoRemove "0";, but see no change
[00:47] <mechdave> cletus, a swap file partition is used just in case you fill up RAM and then data is written to swap file
[00:47] <keystone> for fstab
[00:47] <rdancer> Kamilion: see, I was ahead of you there :-/
[00:47] <cletus> uhuh...
[00:48] <cletus> mechdave thats confusing
[00:48] <mechdave> nUboon2Age, you have to compile it yourself... Need to carefully read the README and INSTALL files :)
[00:48] <Kamilion> rdancer: heh, yeah. Honestly though, something must be wrong, because I've used gtkrecordmydesktop and run it's output through handbrake before.
[00:48] <rdancer> Kamilion: handbrake actually chops off the first ~1 minute of the video when converting
[00:48] <mechdave> cletus, it is very different to installing windows
[00:48] <rdancer> Kamilion: that's good news
[00:48] <cletus> ;_;
[00:49] <mechdave> cletus, hang on shall find you a install guide for 10.04
[00:49] <cletus> okkkkk
[00:49] <Kamilion> rdancer: double check you've got all the proper libs and such, and try installing ubuntu-restricted-extras for some codecs.
[00:49] <sebsebseb> cletus:  mechdave  theres a basic install guide in the manual
[00:49] <sebsebseb> !manual | cletus
[00:49] <rdancer> Kamilion: what's wrong is that somebody thought that using Ogg video was good idea for output before asking the videolan and mplayer guys if their input codecs were ok with it
[00:49] <cletus> The only confusing thing is the swapfile
[00:49] <sebsebseb> cletus: Ubuntu is easier to install than Windows really :)
[00:50] <britany_okla> Hi I upgraded to the 10.04 now i am having problems with flash any ideas
[00:50] <drizzt_> cletus, i wouldn't trust basic install guides
[00:50] <sebsebseb> cletus: if you do the guided install, it will take care of it all for you
[00:50] <rdancer> Kamilion: I'll just install windows I guess
[00:50] <cletus> Yeah just dont mess around with console?
[00:50] <nUboon2Age> mechdave: does just running make have a chance of working?
[00:50] <manlymatt83> I have an old T42 with 1 GB RAM.  I'm running 9.04 right now without problems.  Is it recommended to upgrade to 10.04, and if so, will that work ok?
[00:50] <sebsebseb> cletus: its when you do manual install that you can set up your own swap, and  a seperate /home and so on,  but as a new user, easier to go with the guided install
[00:50] <cletus> @drizzt why no install guidesss
[00:50] <Kamilion> rdancer: Um, actually, AFAIK, Theora's the only choice they have -- you need a MPEG4 patent license to generate commercial content using h264 -- usually google/youtube will take care of that for you.
[00:50] <mechdave> cletus, have a read of this guide --> https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/i386/index.html
[00:50] <rdancer> Kamilion: not in EU
[00:51] <sebsebseb> manlymatt83: you could upgrade, but you would have to upgrade through 9.10,  and upgrade to 9.10 might go wrong on you
[00:51] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> how can i get 7zip/7z-rar to ignore crc error in rar file?
[00:51] <rdancer> Kamilion: plus youtube accepts Ogg video (or so they say)
[00:51] <manlymatt83> sebsebseb: I was thinking of just installing 10.04 from ISO
[00:51] <joshac1> hello can somebody help me with backtrack4
[00:51] <manlymatt83> I'm just wondering if 10.04 will be slower than 9.04 on my old laptop
[00:51] <cletus> hnnngggg
[00:51] <cletus> *grabs heart*
[00:51] <sebsebseb> mechdave: 9.04 is a lovely release, still supported untill the end of October :)  and 10.10 comes out on the 10th October, so if going to do a clean install, may as well wait untill that
[00:51] <rdancer> Kamilion: fair point though
[00:51] <ZykoticK9> !backtrack | joshac1
[00:51] <mechdave> nUboon2Age, sometimes, you really need to read the README and INSTALL files that are in the package... they will tell you what you need :)
[00:52] <drizzt_> vic20gmr_[lucid], use unrar
[00:52] <sebsebseb> mechdave: also you got 1GB RAM, thats enough RAM to  virtual machine try 10.04 :)
[00:52] <Kamilion> rdancer: which is what makes me thing something's wrong with your system, as I've both uploaded .OGM files with mp3/Theora and handbrake/x264'd content. I know they use ffmpeg to convert, so you can try your content with that.
[00:52] <drizzt_> drizzt_, then add 'leave corrupted files on disk' option
[00:52] <userone> i want to change permissions of an external usb hdd, is this right for the command line? /dev/sdc1 /media/freecom_120gb ext4 defaults,user,exec,uid=1000,gid=100,umask=000 0 0
[00:52] <britany_okla> I am running lucid on an old laptop not having anyproblems other than flash
[00:52] <joshac1> i just want to install a theme i get but i cant i tried to turn on the desktop effects but dosnt work tried also install desktop effects but sais command not found
[00:53] <manlymatt83> sebsebseb: will 10.04/10.10 run slower than 9.04 on my T42?
[00:53] <mechdave> sebsebseb, I have him trying 10.04, just showing him docs for partitioning from 7.04 so he can get an idea of what is going on
[00:53] <joshac1> any ideas
[00:53] <drizzt_> manlymatt83, definitely
[00:53] <cletus> Guided install refers to the pictures eh?
[00:53] <Spenc0r> ;x
[00:53] <sebsebseb> manlymatt83: 10.04 boots faster, but thats about the only proper advantage it has over 9.04 really
[00:53] <manlymatt83> drizzt_: so time to get a new laptop? :)
[00:53] <mechdave> sebsebseb, I have also shown him the install guide for 10.04
[00:53] <manlymatt83> got it...
[00:53] <joshac1> i just want to install a theme i get but i cant i tried to turn on the desktop effects but dosnt work tried also install desktop effects but sais command not found
[00:53] <Spenc0r> lol 10.04 boots slower for me x.x
[00:53] <manlymatt83> so you guys wouldn't recommend a 10.04 upgrade on a T42?
[00:53] <drizzt_> cletus, no, guided install will remove all partitions and create / and swap ones
[00:54] <cletus> hmm
[00:54] <britany_okla> Spenc0e doesnt seem to be slower for me
[00:54] <manlymatt83> I need a new laptop.  I'm a big fan of the T42 but it's quite heavy.  Any recommendations? :) Any IBM/Lenovo laptop fans here?
[00:54] <nUboon2Age> mechdave: thanks!  I went to the ralink site to get rt3070 drivers and all I could find was source.  Any ideas where I could find prebuilt driver?
[00:54] <sebsebseb> manlymatt83: how old is the computer? and you said you got 1GB RAM, actsaul old computers come with  much less then that
[00:54] <Kamilion> manlymatt83: Had a T42; just swapped out the CPU to a newer C2D chip till I got rid of it for my new dell latitude e6520.
[00:54] <sebsebseb> britany_okla: ah right yeah Flash
[00:54] <ZykoticK9> joshac1, ask in the #backtrack-linux support channel
[00:54] <drizzt_> cletus, that's default option anyway
[00:54] <sebsebseb> britany_okla: ok what is the problem exactly with Flash?
[00:54] <rottenrec> is the "shutdown" button in Gnome suppose to shutdown the computer or just take you to the login screen?
[00:54] <Spenc0r> 4/5 mins and on a bad day it took 7 mins although i guess i need a new laptop Lol but is there a way of speeding it up ?
[00:54] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> drizzt_: it will allow me to tell it to ignor crc err?
[00:54] <manlymatt83> sebsebseb: it's at least 6 years old I think
[00:54] <mechdave> cletus, make sure you select the second partition for a guided install otherwise windows will dissapear :(
[00:54] <blue_anna> how can I get around dependency issues from having too recent of a version of a package (off of launchpad)
[00:54] <blue_anna>   libxmu-dev: Depends: libxmu-headers (= 2:1.0.5-1) but 2:1.0.5+git20100604.af962b3b-0ubuntu0sarvatt~lucid is to be installed
[00:55] <mechdave> nUboon2Age, the RALINK drivers need to be compiled as far as I'm aware
[00:55] <cletus> @mechdave the hard drive im installing on is old and ive backed up everything I need. So I can write over that copy of windows since my master holds the copy i use now, correct?
[00:55] <userone> anyone know how to change permissions of an ext4 external usb hdd?
[00:55] <Kamilion> blue_anna: I think there's an ignore-deps flag or something you might be able to use to force the package to install after you manually satisfy the dependancies.
[00:55] <sebsebseb> manlymatt83: 9.04 will even get a proper upgrade to Firefox soon, but also 8.04, and 9.10, so yeah not much of a reason to upgrade in your case I think, when still supported
[00:55] <blue_anna> -m doesn't work :S
[00:55] <britany_okla> sebsebseb doesn't seem to want to work with my facebook apps currently in process of reinstalling it
[00:55] <drizzt_> vic20gmr_[lucid], it should with -kb switch; doesn't work for solid archives!
[00:55] <ZykoticK9> userone, typically you'd change the permissions on the mount point not the drive
[00:56] <drizzt_> vic20gmr_[lucid], actually it does, but everything after corrupted part will  be lost
[00:56] <manlymatt83> ok, thanks!
[00:56] <Kamilion> sebsebseb: Didn't I read not too long ago that they'll be releasing 3.6.3 for 8.X+ from security.ubuntu.com?
[00:56] <mechdave> cletus, I am always paranoid about overwriting something that I don't want overwritten
[00:56] <cletus> true...
[00:56] <keystone> what ubuntu disro is best for older laptops 9.10 eats bateries 10.04 even worse i was wondering if maybee 7 or 8 would extend batery life
[00:56] <nUboon2Age> mechdave: Thanks.  Not the answer i want, but appreciated.  :)
[00:56] <Spenc0r> oop that reminds me sometimes gnome crashes then trys to restart x or something but just flashes then fails
[00:57] <sebsebseb> Kamilion: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2010-June/000719.html
[00:57] <cletus> So I need to squash down the harddrive in partition just in case
[00:57] <Docteh> keystone: try a lighter desktop environment, also are you throttling down the cpu?
[00:57] <Kamilion> keystone: 7 or 8 have much poorer power management code; you might try xubuntu or one of the lxde derived ones.
[00:57] <sebsebseb> keystone: sadly 8.10 is no longer supported, but 8.04 is still supported untill the end of April next year on the desktop
[00:57] <userone> ZykoticK9: I just reformatted the hdd to ext4, then changed the volume label to freecom_120gb. when I plugged the hdd back in, it was automatically mounted,  I can read but not write to it. do i need to change the mount point infstab?
[00:58] <blue_anna> or how can I tell which source is providing the offending edge library?:  libxmu-dev: Depends: libxmu-headers (= 2:1.0.5-1) but 2:1.0.5+git20100604.af962b3b-0ubuntu0sarvatt~lucid is to be installed
[00:58] <Kamilion> keystone: You might give Mint a shot; sometimes it runs a bit better.
[00:58] <keystone> IM USEING POWERTOP to no avail
[00:58] <sebsebseb> keystone: also maybe you just simpally need something more lite waight, for stuff to work better such as LXDE/Lubuntu
[00:58] <Docteh> keystone: changing the cpufreq governor to conservative did wonders to my eeepc
[00:58] <sebsebseb> !lubuntu | keystone
[00:58] <ZykoticK9> userone, you can just change the permission on the mount point to "sudo ugo+rw /where/it's/mounted" and it 'should' work
[00:58] <mechdave> nUboon2Age, no worries, they work ok tho!!
[00:59] <Docteh> keystone: does powertop even check cpufreq?
[00:59] <keystone> i also have hypertheding turned off
[00:59] <wombatman> Anyone know what "better" solution they plan to add to amarok2 for the features that were previously provided by musicbrainz?
[00:59] <sebsebseb> britany_okla: ok  got Flash re installed now?
[00:59] <Spenc0r> >.>
[00:59] <keystone> cstat
[00:59] <Kamilion> keystone: How old is the laptop?
[00:59] <britany_okla> nope still waiting on it sebsebseb
[01:00] <keystone> it was new in 04 i think
[01:00] <Kamilion> keystone: Lithium ion batteries only have a life of about 2 years if they're ran warm.
[01:00] <sebsebseb> britany_okla: actsauly remove Flash and then re install, yeah
[01:00] <keystone> i have new battery
[01:00] <wombatman> I finally got over my love of libvisual and decided to move on to amarok 2 but they still need to bring back some of my old favorite features
[01:00] <Spenc0r> is there an program or, command to make ubuntu boot up faster or do i just have to put up with it?
[01:00] <Kamilion> keystone: Ah, okay then.
[01:01] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: which version?
[01:01] <Kamilion> Spenc0r: There are many; But it depends on your existing configuration.
[01:01] <britany_okla> sebsebseb trying to it seems stuck at 82% remove
[01:01] <Spenc0r> 10.04 its only recently got slow
[01:01] <Spenc0r> like 4/5 mins
[01:01] <keystone> im lucky to get 1 1/2 hour normal use web surf , email
[01:01] <britany_okla> not sure why sebsebseb
[01:01] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: yeah Plymouth issue I guess or something
[01:01] <Kamilion> Spenc0r: For example; I had mysql starting up; once I shut it off my boot time was much quicker.
[01:01] <blue_anna> how can I figure out which sources provide which versions of a package?
[01:01] <Spenc0r> hmm
[01:01] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: yeah see the graphical boot up yeah?
[01:01] <keystone> no dvds
[01:01] <sebsebseb> you not yeah above
[01:01] <Spenc0r> yea
[01:01] <Kamilion> blue_anna: synaptic has a nice "by origin" filter.
[01:01] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: ok thats a bit I guess its a bit buggy really in 10.04
[01:02] <Spenc0r> ah
[01:02] <blue_anna> Kamilion, thanks
[01:02] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: a theme might even crash and that kind of thing
[01:02] <keystone> when new i it was more like 3 or 4 hours
[01:02] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: doesn't work properly with propritary Nivdia graphics card driver and so on
[01:02] <Spenc0r> ah is there like just a console boot? or is it just graphic boot.
[01:02] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: yes easy to set up a text boot
[01:02] <Kamilion> Spenc0r: remove "splash" from your kernel line.
[01:02] <Spenc0r> ah
[01:03] <sebsebseb> Kamilion: uh i'll give him the proper thing
[01:03] <Kamilion> heh, yeah, listen to sebsebseb.
[01:03] <Spenc0r> Also gnome crashes trys to boot back up then,
[01:03] <drizzt_> is it possible to remove gtk engines that come with desktop?
[01:03] <Spenc0r> il remove splash in a bit
[01:03] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: Gnome isn't meant to crash
[01:03] <keystone> probly just old i think the cooling system seems to run alot more
[01:03] <Spenc0r> er,
[01:03] <Kamilion> "The easiest way to get correct information on the internet is to post incorrect information and wait for someone to correct you"
[01:03] <Spenc0r> x or something
[01:03] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: maybe user account has gone wrong a bit
[01:03] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: ok  uhmm that would explain stuff then
[01:04] <keystone> fans alwase kicking in juicing the batery
[01:04] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: if you got xorg crashing, then things aren't going to work proeprly
[01:04] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: since it controls all the graphical stuff
[01:04] <Spenc0r> sorry yea, i have a quite a few things going wrong. and oh i see.
[01:04] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: well Gnome and such
[01:04] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: plymouth is seperate, but doing a text boot for that, could also help to speed things up a bit
[01:05] <Kamilion> Oh, you mean switching to the plymouth text theme?
[01:05] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: clean install? upgrade?
[01:05] <Spenc0r> Fatal server error:
[01:05] <Spenc0r> Failed to submit batchbuffer: Input/output error
[01:05] <sebsebseb> Kamilion: no
[01:05] <Spenc0r> i might do
[01:05] <sebsebseb> Kamilion: I mean actsaully disabling Plymouth and having a text boot
[01:05] <Spenc0r> but i think it maybe my laptop is useless.
[01:05] <Kamilion> ah.
[01:05] <sebsebseb> Kamilion: well Plymouth itself has to stay since bundled into ubuntu-desktop, but you'll see what I mean in a bit, like Spenc0r will
[01:07] <sebsebseb> Kamilion: Spenc0r  so if this is a done there won't be a boot up theme, and there will be a text boot instead. remove plymouth-label, plymouth-theme-ubuntu-{logo,text}, and plymouth-x11; then remove "splash" from /etc/default/grub and do sudo update-grub
[01:07] <Kamilion> sebsebseb: Aye, good thing I've got channel logging on and my google notebook open and ready to C&P notes
[01:07] <sebsebseb> !logs | Kamilion
[01:07] <Spenc0r> okay, brb
[01:07] <sebsebseb> Kamilion: Google sell notebooks ?
[01:08] <sebsebseb> remove plymouth-label, plymouth-theme-ubuntu-{logo,text}, and plymouth-x11; then remove "splash" from /etc/default/grub and do sudo update-grub
[01:08] <nerdy_kid> how would i go about encypting my home folder so that there is a .Private folder that gets mounted when i login (with my home contents inside the .Private folder)
[01:08] <Kamilion> sebsebseb: Nice web-based note system; but they stopped development and no signups are allowed anymore :(
[01:08] <boxbeatsy> hi guys, i'm having trouble adding a new user with admin privileges ot my EC2 instance.  AFter I do adduser <username>, I log out and try to log back in via ssh, but I get : "Permission denied (publickey)
[01:08] <keystone> sebsebseb:linux netbooks are good deal!
[01:08] <Spenc0r> oh here is the x error thing
[01:08] <Spenc0r> Fatal server error:
[01:08] <Spenc0r> Failed to submit batchbuffer: Input/output error
[01:08] <sebsebseb> nerdy_kid: uhmm don't do that, unless you have a proper reason to,  encrypted Ubuntu homes, really can go wrong on people at times
[01:08] <sebsebseb> nerdy_kid: like when they are re installing Ubuntu, or upgrading or something
[01:08] <boxbeatsy> anybody have an idea of what i'm doing wrong.  this is my first sysadmin experience
[01:08] <carl-m_> boxbeatsy: I can help with that
[01:09] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: xorg is not fun to play around with trying to fix issues
[01:09] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: well I guess for some people it is
[01:09] <carl-m_> boxbeatsy:  just to check, you are doing all this over ssh on a remote box?
[01:09] <sebsebseb> !xorg | Spenc0r
[01:09] <boxbeatsy> yup
[01:09] <nerdy_kid> sebsebseb ah yeah your prob right...alright :)  ill stick with with a .Private folder that doesnt have my home contents in it if i need it :)
[01:09] <userone> ZykoticK9: done..thanks
[01:09] <boxbeatsy> carl-m_:  awesome :].  i first used ssh -i blah.pem<EMAIL_ADDRESS>which worked
[01:09] <keystone> xorg is simple just back it up firs
[01:09] <Spenc0r> one thing i can say
[01:09] <boxbeatsy> carl-m_: then i did adduser <username>, logged out, and then retired by replacing root with <username>
[01:09] <carl-m_> boxbeatsy: you should not allow root to ssh in
[01:10] <Spenc0r> since i moved to ubuntu
[01:10] <carl-m_> but that is a separate issue
[01:10] <Spenc0r> i have managed to use my computer for more than an hour a time.
[01:10] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: clean install or upgrade for 10.04?  maybe should just clean install,  unless keystone or someone like that has better ideas etc
[01:10] <carl-m_> boxbeatsy: OK. log back in as root, however you did it
[01:10] <boxbeatsy> carl-m_: i see ok, done
[01:10] <carl-m_> now "su <username>" to become that user
[01:10] <carl-m_> we need to set up an ssh key
[01:11] <Spenc0r> yea i think i will just mooch a new laptop and install it on that, but thanks guys.
[01:11] <boxbeatsy> carl-m_: ok done
[01:11] <carl-m_> although I am not used to setting up .pem keys, only rsa keys
[01:11] <Spenc0r> i know what to do if it annoys me or gets me in trouble at uni again.
[01:11] <paraintj> Anyone good at installing sound drivers for weird sound card companies that don't release the source like they should... for us they're loyal customers?
[01:11] <boxbeatsy> carl-m_: do i need to grant my username sudo privileges?
[01:11] <carl-m_> aeventually, but we can get to that
[01:11] <boxbeatsy> carl-m_: "the installation instructison say to add it to admin group, but it says there's no such group"
[01:11] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: uh getting a new lap top?
[01:11] <carl-m_> that will not help with your inability to log in
[01:12] <boxbeatsy> carl-m_: mmk
[01:12] <knightly> Hey question for someone... Anyone know how I can find/get my current drivers for the current working wifi card attached? I have NDISWRAPPER but no drivers installed however the wifi card "just works". I need to find "how/why" it works so I can copy the files to another version of ubuntu where it doesn't work. Thanks for any answers.
[01:12] <Spenc0r> im going to try to get a grant or something or just uh, sweet talk my parents
[01:12] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: uhmm lap tops are useualy the ones that get issues
[01:12] <Spenc0r> ah
[01:12] <keystone> spenc0r :copy and past xorg from live disk to it knopix has a very good xorg file
[01:12] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: so  good idea to make sure your buying supported hardware
[01:12] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: otherwise may get wireless or sound issues for example
[01:12] <carl-m_> boxbeatsy: I want to double-check something. on the box you are SSHing _from_, run ssh again with the -v option
[01:12] <sebsebseb> !hardware | Spenc0r
[01:13] <Spenc0r> ah i see yea thats one thing 10.04 has fixed for me the sound its perfect.  but thanks guys, is there a list or a shop or something that sells ubuntu laptops, already installed?
[01:13] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: also there are companies that sell pre installed Ubuntu lap tops even, in fact Dell is one of them
[01:13] <Spenc0r> OH,
[01:13] <Spenc0r> snap.
[01:13] <boxbeatsy> carl-m_: I get OpenSSH_5.1p1 Debian-5ubuntu1, OpenSSL 0.9.8g 19
[01:13] <jasilman> can anyone tell me how to restore the volume control on the top panel... I somehow lost it
[01:13] <NeoCicak> hi all.... i'm trying to install lucid on a new pc with RAID 0 (mirroring).... but the installation failed, saying something along "creation of ext4 partition failed .....(mirror)"... any idea on how to fix this?
[01:13] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: in other words shock?
[01:13] <carl-m_> boxbeatsy: I mean the whole command, along with -v, so you get debugging output
[01:13] <knightly> anyone know what folder your wifi drivers are stored?
[01:14] <Spenc0r> yea, fast answer plus im not good with english, but yea!
[01:14] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: oh your  typing the asking, whilst I am already typing the reply :D
[01:14] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: ok where you from?
[01:14] <Spenc0r> oh im living in the uk but im not from here
[01:14] <boxbeatsy> carl-m_: ok done
[01:15] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: ok
[01:15] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: hrm
[01:15] <carl-m_> do you see something near the end like 'debug1: Trying private key ...'
[01:15] <Spenc0r> but im only talking english typing  :) lol. im french but i kinda want to just talk english. weird?
[01:15] <boxbeatsy> carl-m_: yup
[01:15] <boxbeatsy> carl-m_: Trying private key: typhoonae.pem
[01:15] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: system76 is out, since thats USA and Canada,  zareason (http://www.zareason.com ) I think got to buy on the maindland of Europe or something silly like that.   Dell is probably still in.
[01:16] <carl-m_> OK, good> I wanted to make sure it was getting that far
[01:16] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: http://www.dell.com/ubuntu
[01:16] <Spenc0r> hm i will have a look see, thank you.
[01:16] <sebsebseb> or maybe dell.co.uk/ubuntu
[01:16] <carl-m_> boxbeatsy: so on the remote machine, as the user you want to ssh to, you need to first "mkdir .ssh"
[01:17] <carl-m_> then you need to edit .ssh/authorized_keys
[01:17] <boxbeatsy> carl-m_: so, in the end, what i need is a user with root privileges so that i can install this server package.  i dont necessarily need to ssh in.  i could ssh in as root and then su <username>.  ijust had no idea i could do su<username> heh
[01:17] <AntraxCol> hi does any one know what kind of softphone works correctly into ubuntu hardy?
[01:17] <boxbeatsy> carl-m_: am i misleading you by saying i need ssh access?
[01:17] <boxbeatsy> carl-m_: i guess if im not supposed to ssh in as root this is necessary too?
[01:18] <cheche> Hi, I have a problem with autologon on a standard system.  /etc/gdm/custom.conf Looks fine. It has been working on 8.04 with no problems
[01:18] <drizzt_> how to edit filetype associations?
[01:18] <carl-m_> boxbeatsy: if you can ssh in as root, you have a user with root privleges, namely "root" himself
[01:18] <Kamilion> Hey, should I be using sudo -s?
[01:18] <cletus> TIMMAH
[01:18] <___a> hello
[01:18] <Kamilion> er, I mean
[01:18] <neezer> I have Lucid and an SSD drive that supports trim. what do I need to do to get trim working? I've read that I need to update my kernel in order to get trim going. I have no idea how to do this.
[01:18] <Kamilion> should I be using sudo -s or su - ?
[01:18] <boxbeatsy> carl-m_: the thing is when i install the server, i am getting error messages like "can't run as root without the -u switch"
[01:18] <cheche> Kamilion: sudo
[01:19] <mechdave> boxbeatsy, It is not recommended to have a machine that allows root ssh... Massive security hole!!
[01:19] <topdownjimmy> drizzt_ : right click on a file of the type whose association you want to change, click "Properties," then choose the "Open With" tab
[01:19] <Kamilion> cheche: Good, that's what I have been using for a while now.
[01:19] <RelievedSimpleto> hey, how can i install ubuntu server to a hard drive on a via 6421 based sata card?
[01:19] <Kamilion> cheche: Thanks!
[01:19] <boxbeatsy> carl-m_: mechdave i guess right now i just want to get this working to see if it will work first
[01:19] <topdownjimmy> Is there documentation somewhere for the rationale behind the switch from F-Spot to Shotwell?
[01:19] <carl-m_> boxbeatsy: I see. this is probably because the software doesn't _want_ to run as root. try running it after you su to your new non-root username and see if that fixes things
[01:19] <drizzt_> and more precisely? because a certain app set itself to open All unknown documents
[01:20] <boxbeatsy> carl-m_: im trying atm, but it wont even let me cd or ls when im in the new username :(
[01:20] <boxbeatsy> carl-m_: should i just sudo everything?
[01:20] <spartan_work> my work pc is running win7. How can I connect to my work pc from home with ubuntu?
[01:20] <boxbeatsy> carl-m_: yea i cant sudo cd for some reason "cd: comand not found"
[01:20] <Benkinooby> hi, how can i checkt if my graphic driver/xorg server is seet up correctly? the point is, that i can play openarena and other 3D apps without problems (at low res) but sometimes, fluxbox fails to run fluently. (eg. pdf-viewer window follows my mouse when moving it with a 1 second delay)
[01:20] <carl-m_> that's very strange. but if you are root already you do not need to use sudo
[01:21] <boxbeatsy> o i'm not.  i did su <username> so i'm currently username
[01:21] <Black_Phantom> Benkinooby, try glxgears
[01:21] <Black_Phantom> Benkinooby, terminal > glxgears
[01:21] <carl-m_> boxbeatsy: I have no idea how the "cd" command could not be found
[01:21] <Kamilion> boxbeatsy: try "su - <username>" to spawn a full login shell
[01:21] <mechdave> boxbeatsy, you can actually sudo to root terminal if you are careful, note: this can destroy your system if you do the wrong thing... sudo su will give you a root terminal
[01:22] <AntraxCol> x-lite doesn't work in my ubuntu hardy, what can i do?
[01:22] <carl-m_> mechdave: he is already root, I think
[01:22] <boxbeatsy> ok i just went to the application folder in root and then did su <username> and it looks like im ok.  let me try running it now
[01:22] <Gryllida> How do I turn font smoothing in Firefox? I turned it off in the OS and rebooted but it still isn't gone in Firefox..
[01:22] <wildbat> mechdave,boxbeatsy, use sudo -i or -s
[01:23] <mechdave> boxbeatsy, so you ssh in as root and then su to non privileged user?
[01:23] <carl-m_> boxbeatsy: you may run into problems if folders are not owned by the non-root user. you can do a 'chown -R <username> <folder>' to change the ownership if you need to
[01:24] <mechdave> boxbeatsy, you may need to ssh in as non privileged user then sudo to root
[01:24] <jasilman> I have lost the volume control icon on top panel near clock... how can I restore it? ubuntu 10.04
[01:24] <carl-m_> that's the way things are supposed to be - usually the ssh server explicitly forbids sshing as root
[01:25] <outer_space> how do you find out what compile options were used if you want to recompile something from source?
[01:25] <carl-m_> outer_space: if it's a ubuntu package, you can look at the source package
[01:25] <biff_> outer_space: ./configure --help
[01:25] <Gryllida> hello?
[01:26] <sebsebseb> Gryllida: hi
[01:26] <Gryllida> sebsebseb: How do I turn font smoothing in Firefox? I turned it off in the OS and rebooted but it still isn't gone in Firefox..
[01:26] <sebsebseb> Gryllida: not sure what you mean
[01:26] <Gryllida> turn off*
[01:26] <outer_space> i know, but how did ubuntu use ./configure when it installed first
[01:26] <carl-m_> boxbeatsy: source packages may not work with that
[01:26] <outer_space> it must be compiled with the same options
[01:26] <Charliehorse> major help --- i have a grub error 15 problem
[01:27] <carl-m_> outer_space: you can ust "apt-get source <package>" and then examine the file debian/rules to see how the package is built
[01:27] <carl-m_> but it is not a simple matter, it takes some experience
[01:27] <Charliehorse> i have a 10.04 live cd booted now, but i cant seem to get the grub to be repaired
[01:27] <boxbeatsy> carl-m_: i'm confused :( it's saying it cant find modules when im logged in as the new user and running the commands)
[01:27] <Gryllida> sebsebseb: http://picasaweb.google.com/Gryllida/UntitledAlbum#5480527077050062530 -- the top one is in Firefox
[01:27] <boxbeatsy> boxbeatsy: but when i run the comands as root it's fine
[01:27] <outer_space> ok I'll look for debian/rules
[01:28] <boxbeatsy> carl-m_: should i jsut reinsatll the entire package under my new user?
[01:28] <Gryllida> sebsebseb: I want to have font smoothing off and hinting on, this setting took effect for the OS but not for Firefox
[01:28] <olskolirc> how do I install a tarball when "make" gives me "make stop" and "make install" gives me make stop or stop please?
[01:28] <carl-m_> that may fix it. not knowing what package it is, or any other details, I can't help so much. I _can_ get you logged in as a non-root user, but that's about the limit of it
[01:28] <Callum__> Charliehorse: you sure the boot order in the BIOS is correct?
[01:29] <mechdave> boxbeatsy, what are you trying to install?
[01:29] <boxbeatsy> carl-m_: ok lemme try.  thank YOu for the help
[01:29] <carl-m_> olskolirc: I'm sure it depends on the exact package and how the makefile is written
[01:29] <boxbeatsy> mechdave: carl-m_ i'mt trying to install a proejct called TyphoonAE
[01:29] <boxbeatsy> mechdave: carl-m_ it's to port GAE applications over to EC2
[01:29] <spartan_work> anyone know of a way to connect to a windblows pc with ubuntu?
[01:29] <Gryllida> spartan_work: places > network
[01:29] <carl-m_> spartan_work: connect in what way? ping?
[01:29] <outer_space> how do you apply a debian/rules to compile?
[01:29] <IdleOne> !samba | spartan_work and it is spelled Windows
[01:29] <nixiepixel> Hello, I am trying to follow the instructions in the comprehensive multimedia guide here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766683 But I am getting the error "Couldn't find package ia32-sun-java6-bin" even though I have multiverse and universe in my sources.list
[01:30] <olskolirc> there is no makefile carl-m_ just Makefile.am Makefile.in Makefile.mingw
[01:30] <biff_> spartan_work: tcp or windows share?
[01:30] <carl-m_> outer_space: in the top directory, run "./debian/rules build"
[01:30] <IdleOne> spartan_work: sorry that samba info was incorrect
[01:30] <carl-m_> outer_space: run ./configure
[01:30] <olskolirc> purple-plugin_pack-2.6.3 won't make
[01:30] <spartan_work> somehting like gotomypc
[01:30] <spartan_work> but for linux
[01:30] <spartan_work> I wouldnt even mind a commanline but it would be over the net
[01:31] <biff_> i don't know what is gotomypc
[01:31] <Gryllida> !info gotomypc
[01:31] <Gryllida> umm
[01:31] <IdleOne> !vnc | spartan_work
[01:31] <dum> i'm trying to get best server as my software source, but i get a 'No suitable download server was found'
[01:31] <Gryllida> sebsebseb: any suggestions?
[01:31] <keystone> what is typhoona.pem
[01:31] <pebcac> @jasilman: to add the sound icon back to the panel, click on System -> Preferneces then right-click on Sound and choose "Add to panel"
[01:31] <Charliehorse> Callum_: I think so, I haven't changed it since it worked. Just installed 10.04 (upgrade from 9.10), was working fine for a while before it randomly stopped
[01:31] <dum> any idea why this could be?
[01:31] <spartan_work> ok, thanks!!
[01:32] <jasilman> ah thank you pebcac
[01:32] <mechdave> boxbeatsy, this is Google web apps server?
[01:32] <dum> by the way.. i have an active internet connection
[01:32] <boxbeatsy> mechdave: Google App Engine
[01:32] <Charliehorse> Callum_: i removed a hard drive (not my main one) while it was running but I accidentally pulled out the power cord to my main linux HD. (Yikes!) now it wont boot
[01:32] <Charliehorse> the funny thing is
[01:32] <boxbeatsy> mechdave: carl-m_ doh, everything is much simpler when i'm in my user's home directoyr.  from before iw as working in /root
[01:32] <pebcac> @jasilman: np
[01:33] <sebsebseb> Gryllida: thats a screenshot of Abiword or something
[01:33] <mechdave> boxbeatsy, Ok you need to install this as super user from your home dir
[01:33] <sebsebseb> Gryllida: yeah of Abiword
[01:33] <Gryllida> sebsebseb: the top one is how it looks in Firefox
[01:33] <Gryllida> sebsebseb: I don't want the smoothing
[01:33] <Gryllida> sebsebseb: it looks ok in abiword
[01:33] <boxbeatsy> mechdave: ok, is my new user a super user if i added them in /etc/sudoers along with root?
[01:33] <sebsebseb> Gryllida: I don't know what you mean even etc, so can't help
[01:33] <dum> i'm trying to get best server as my software source, but i get a 'No suitable download server was found'. But I have an active internet connection
[01:33] <Gryllida> sebsebseb: uh
[01:34] <mechdave> boxbeatsy, so ssh in as normal user, unpack your sources and then use sudo in front of all commands to install
[01:34] <jasilman> well it's there but it isn't the same as it was before
[01:34] <boxbeatsy> mechdave: oops, i've started insatlling without using sudo in front, but its still letting me.  is that gonna be aproblem?
[01:34] <mechdave> boxbeatsy, see this page for install --> http://code.google.com/p/typhoonae/wiki/GettingStarted?tm=6
[01:35] <boxbeatsy> mechdave: ya i followed those pages and got it insatlled under root, but im getting an error because the server doesnt want to run as root
[01:35] <judgen> How do i enable the x-chat systray icon?
[01:35] <mechdave> boxbeatsy, just means it may only be accessable to your user that you built it as or maybe it may even fail in install
[01:35] <boxbeatsy> mechdave: so now im redoing it as a new user that i granted ALL privileges in /etc/sudoers.  does that sound right?
[01:35] <mechdave> boxbeatsy, yeah
[01:35] <mechdave> boxbeatsy, give it a go
[01:35] <boxbeatsy> mechdave: ok thanks!
[01:36] <boxbeatsy> carl-m_: thank you
[01:36] <outer_space> it doesnt let you use debian/rules even as root, you have to use apt-get --compile source
[01:36] <carl-m_> outer_space: I see. may depend on the package
[01:36] <outer_space> apt-get does everything easily
[01:38] <biff_> outer_space: no, you just need type debian/rules configure
[01:39] <Gryllida> sebsebseb: http://imagebin.ca/img/GcBESuME.png
[01:40] <dum> i'm using ubuntu 9.10 and will like to upgrade to 10.04 but update manager does not show it as available
[01:41] <ubuntu> i want to let you know that the decision not to inform the user of how much of a specific operation is done per gparted is very annoying and i expect better from my linux applications.
[01:41] <guillermo__> hello i am in ubuntu 9.10 i made the modifications so LMMS could use the ALSA driver and it sounds now but now the volume applet doesn't work at all
[01:41] <guillermo__> and my volume is somewhere in the middle value
[01:43] <ubuntu> it would be very nice when resizing  a partition to know when i will be done with such a operation rather than be forced to sit here not knowing how long i am stuck
[01:43] <ubuntu> here
[01:44] <guillermo__> installed aumix
[01:44] <guillermo__> and it can change the volume well
[01:44] <ubuntu> as far i could infer from the current output from gparted, it could have just frozen, this is a very dangerous (for someones data) aspect of the user interface and it should be fixed
[01:45] <ubuntu> so i would i tell that gparted is still doing what i asked
[01:45] <ubuntu> the user interface is telling me nothing new. no progress meter, nothing (how dumb is that)
[01:48] <biff_> I need X mp3/ogg player which don't need half of gnome
[01:48] <carl-m_> mplayer?
[01:49] <biff_> X
[01:49] <pebcac> @dum: try this link, they walk you through the upgrade: http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-upgrade-ubuntu-9.10-karmic-koala-to-10.04-lucid-lynx-desktop-and-server
[01:50] <carl-m_> biff_: I read a quote once that X windows was desigend to run three programs: xterm, xlogo, and one more that I have forgotten. certainly mplayer will work in xterm
[01:50] <opnet> hey guys, I found a wifi nic in my other laptop, and so I stuck it into my netbook hoping to have two wifi nic's (just for fun) but it's not recognized
[01:51] <biff_> carl-m_: I need nice X player with GUI
[01:51] <drizzt_> ubuntu, multitheading is linux' weak spot
[01:51] <carl-m_> have you tried xmms or a clone like audacious ?
[01:52] <dum> @pebcac: my update manager does not show that new release is available
[01:52] <FatsDT> How do I tell x to use the vesa driver instead of the intel driver?
[01:53] <biff_> FatsDT: X --configure, next copy xorg.conf to /etc/X11/xorg.conf, change driver to vesa
[01:53] <biff_> no, X -configure
[01:53] <carl-m_> biff_: this is the article I was referring to : http://www.art.net/~hopkins/Don/unix-haters/x-windows/disaster.html
[01:53] <ubuntu> so this puts me a interesting position, if i try and and quit the application i corrupt my data but know the application has not crashed. how do i get a idea if gparted is still working?????? since i have NO PROGRESS METER
[01:54] <drizzt_> ubuntu, submit a bug
[01:54] <pebcac> @dum: on that same page, down 3/4 of the way, they have the command line guide on how to do the same thing. My quess is that you're missing the 'update-manager-core'. Try doing the steps using the command line steps
[01:54] <M4rotku> hey guys.  i'm installing ubuntu and gentoo alongside one another.  would it be a good idea to share a home directory between the two of them?  if my user name is the same on both, will they use the same config files?  and which system should I let handle the grub configuration?  thank you for any answers/help
[01:54] <Gryllida> sebsebseb: did you get the image? http://imagebin.ca/img/GcBESuME.png I want to disable font smoothing in firefox
[01:54] <biff_> carl-m_: funny
[01:54] <opnet> hey guys, I found a wifi nic in my other laptop, and so I stuck it into my netbook hoping to have two wifi nic's (just for fun) but it's not recognized
[01:55] <fqhuy> Hi, I'm using Evolution
[01:55] <sebsebseb> Gryllida: I don't know what you mean by font smoothing, maybe you want to instal Windows fonts I don't know
[01:55] <sebsebseb> !fonts | Gryllida
[01:55] <Gryllida> no
[01:55] <fqhuy> I want to make a calendar for my classes
[01:55] <ubuntu> this is the kind of annoying crap i expect from microsoft software, this behavior needs to change,  otherwise there is no incentive to use linux if the applications are just as dumb as their windows counterparts
[01:55] <fqhuy> which type of info should I choose
[01:55] <fqhuy> Appointment, event, task ?
[01:56] <drizzt_> ubuntu, microsoft software wouldn't behave like this, because windows was multithreaded from the beginning
[01:56] <k0d3g3ar> ubuntu, are you confusing Ubuntu with one application running on it?
[01:56] <carl-m_> ubuntu: (1) many traditional UNIX programs give no output unless there is an error (2) the Ubuntu distribution seems to go out of its way to reduce "confusing" messages, like telling me what files are downloaded by the package manager. between the two, you are chasing windmills
[01:57] <drizzt_> ubuntu, installer just spawns child process and wait for it to end
[01:57] <mechdave_> drizzt_, so is linux software multithreaded
[01:57] <Gryllida> sebsebseb: system > preferences > appearance > fonts > details : I've turned hinting on and smoothing off, but Firefox still renders everything with smoothing (even after a reboot)
[01:57] <drizzt_> mechdave_, only selected apps
[01:58] <Serpentinex> When I write a terminal app. How do I replicate system."pause" and system."cls"
[01:58] <k0d3g3ar> Serpentinex, cls = clear
[01:58] <Serpentinex> system doesnt work when I write for terminal
[01:58] <drizzt_> Serpentinex, take that string from terminal strings
[01:59] <carl-m_> Serpentinex: what language are you writing in? by pause do you mean the pause key?
[01:59] <Serpentinex> c++
[01:59] <drizzt_> there's a string which clears the screen
[01:59] <boxbeatsy> hey guys, how do i add full root control to a user?  so far i've aded <username ALl=(ALL) ALL in /etc/sudoers but im still not granted full access
[01:59] <carl-m_> system("clear"); works fine in C and C++
[01:59] <k0d3g3ar> Serpentinex, oh, I thought you were talking shell scripting
[01:59] <Serpentinex> no terminal
[01:59] <carl-m_> you can use a terminal library but it's overkill if that's all you need to do
[01:59] <drizzt_> OMG you should not fork a process to clear the screen!
[01:59] <biff_> boxbeatsy: @ default account you just need type "sudo bash"
[02:00] <drizzt_> *spawn
[02:00] <dayrot> Can someone tell me why I can't mount smb shares?
[02:00] <boxbeatsy> biff_: i actuallyneed to be using the new user account to install the files
[02:00] <rsr> hello
[02:00] <Gryllida> hi
[02:00] <dum> pebcac: do-release-upgrade Checking for a new ubuntu release No new release found
[02:00] <mechdave_> boxbeatsy, yes
[02:00]  * ubuntu is informing the gparted developers how stupid their user interface is
[02:00] <carl-m_> ubuntu: what makes you think any of them is here?
[02:01] <drizzt_> ubuntu, file a bug in ubiquity
[02:01] <rsr> My icons switched to those old gnome icons and now no matter what Icon set I choose the icons stay the same. Has anyone else had this issue?
[02:01] <boxbeatsy> mechdave_: is there nething i need to do besides adding the username to etc/sudoers?
[02:01] <carl-m_> dayrot: what problem do you get?
[02:01] <drizzt_> there;s a chance someone fix it in 2020 or so
[02:02] <mechdave_> boxbeatsy, All I would do is add the new user, make sure they can sudo (add them to /etc/sudoers) and then compile and install your server
[02:02] <M4rotku> hey guys.  i'm installing ubuntu and gentoo alongside one another.  would it be a good idea to share a home directory between the two of them?  if my user name is the same on both, will they use the same config files?  and which system should I let handle the grub configuration?  thank you for any answers/help
[02:02] <boxbeatsy> mechdave_: mmk, i dont need to add sudo before every ocmmmand once i add them to sudoers right?
[02:02] <pebcac> @dum: just to confirm, you're on version 9.10 and want to go to version 10.04. You've tried following both the gui and cli steps at http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-upgrade-ubuntu-9.10-karmic-koala-to-10.04-lucid-lynx-desktop-and-server and neither methods work. Is all of that correct so far?
[02:02] <carl-m_> boxbeatsy: you still need to
[02:02] <drizzt_> *OT* is a Hardy DVD for $8 a good buy? (USD ones)
[02:03] <boxbeatsy> carl-m_: crap >_<
[02:03] <carl-m_> M4rotku: whould be fine as long as you have the same numeric userid on both
[02:03] <mechdave_> boxbeatsy, I use sudo b4 every command
[02:03] <carl-m_> boxbeatsy: only when you want to run things as root
[02:03] <Serpentinex> i dont have a volume thing anymore
[02:03] <Serpentinex> how do i add it?
[02:03] <dum> yep.. either shows that there is an available new release
[02:03] <boxbeatsy> carl-m_: o wait, but i want to insatll the server as my current user
[02:03] <boxbeatsy> carl-m_: so i woudlnt want to use sudo right?
[02:03] <dayrot> carl-m_ Well, for some shares it works, but most it says a vague "Unable to mount location. Failed to mount windows share"
[02:03] <boxbeatsy> or does sudo just give root provileges and install as current user
[02:04] <dum> pedcac: yep.. either shows that there is an available new release
[02:04] <drizzt_> boxbeatsy, sudo is emulating user's environment for root user
[02:04] <M4rotku> carl-m, is that an intuitive/easy thing to set.  will i be able to figure it out easily enough when installing.  if i remember correctly, then they should be the same by default since it's the first user on each system, right?
[02:04] <dum> @pebcac: yep.. either shows that there is an available new release
[02:04] <mechdave_> boxbeatsy, the other thing I just thought of is maybe just install the server as a non priv user so there is less of a security issue, and just allow it to use the port that is required. Then there is less chance of it being cracked
[02:04] <Gryllida> sebsebseb: I've already asked firefox live chat support, they said it's not a firefox issue
[02:04] <sebsebseb> Gryllida: not sure what your on about, but
[02:04] <sebsebseb> Gryllida: with the default theme in 10.04, Firefox does look ugly really
[02:05] <pebcac> @dum: when you did 'vi /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades' what value did you get for the line that listed 'Prompt'?
[02:05] <drizzt_> boxbeatsy, and all servers should run as separate users with limited privileges
[02:05] <Gryllida> sebsebseb: ask if you don't understand! I've disabled font smoothing everywhere but Firefox ignores it.. this is the problem
[02:05] <carl-m_> M4rotku: first user will probably be 1000 on both systems
[02:05] <boxbeatsy> hmmm ok
[02:06] <Gryllida> sebsebseb: it happens with any firefox theme, this is font issue
[02:06] <mechdave_> boxbeatsy, maybe just build the thing without sudo and run it from the users home directory
[02:06] <Gryllida> sebsebseb: and with any OS theme too
[02:06] <carl-m_> dayrot: do you have "keyutils" installed?
[02:06] <M4rotku> carl-m, thanks
[02:06] <boxbeatsy> mechdave_: that's what im doing now, but im gonna start up another instance and try your previous suggesiotn
[02:06] <dayrot> checking
[02:06] <Gryllida> sebsebseb: I'm out of ideas why it could happen, even rebooted several times
[02:07] <drizzt_> M4rotku, use 'ls -ln /home' to fing out which user you should to create
[02:07] <carl-m_> dayrot: that's my only suggestion - I have had problems when that was not installed
[02:07] <con-man> how do I force a remove and reinstall of hardware device like you would from the device manager?
[02:07] <cxo> I'm on 10.04 and my system keeps freezing every few minutes for about 30s at a time. Its really annoying. Nothing happening in dmesg. I'm installation is on RAID + LVM + EXT4
[02:07] <racerd> anyone use ssh?
[02:07] <Gryllida> !ssh | racerd
[02:07] <Tyril> I am a super non technical user. My Music Box stopped downloading album art.  Any ideas?
[02:07] <dcamp25> ssh yes
[02:07] <Gryllida> Tyril, does a reboot fix it?
[02:08] <drizzt_> Tyril, maybe site layout had changed?
[02:08] <racerd> thanks for no answering my question while
[02:08] <Gryllida> Tyril, or a restart of the app?
[02:08] <Tyril> I have rebooted. I just went from 9 -> 10 and it stopped.
[02:08] <dayrot> no it wasn't, trying it now
[02:08] <a3ist> hey folks having a brain fart...what's the x bin for checking what signals an input device is bound to?
[02:08] <Tyril> it worked fine in the old version before 10.04
[02:08] <racerd> i am looking for a client to transfer files
[02:08] <dum> @pebcac: prompt=normal
[02:08] <Gryllida> Tyril: check for whether you have the newest version of the app now
[02:08] <carl-m_> dayrot: apart from that, all I can suggest is using the debug options to smbbrowse to try to figure it out. but I am not very knowledgable about smb
[02:08] <Gryllida> Tyril: system > administration > upd manager
[02:08] <racerd> i just need an easy client
[02:08] <carl-m_> racerd: for what OS? most people use "ssh"
[02:08] <dayrot> ok, thanks for your help :)
[02:09] <Gryllida> racerd: transfer files? from where to where?
[02:09] <racerd> ......
[02:09] <racerd> Ubuntu
[02:09] <Tyril> Gryllida: I'm checking it, thank you.
[02:09] <Gryllida> racerd: "man ssh"
[02:09] <racerd> from my iphone
[02:09] <carl-m_> the ssh program to copy files is "scp"
[02:09] <Tyril> The only update I have pending is for Cinelerra.
[02:09] <con-man> how do I force a remove and reinstall of hardware device like you would from the device manager?
[02:09] <Dargon> after i install kubuntu-desktop will it load on boot or will i have to start it
[02:09] <racerd> scp?
[02:10] <carl-m_> !scp
[02:10] <racerd> ok
[02:10] <a3ist> con-man:  ...remove the hardware?  If you mean drivers, that'd be "rmmod <firmware name>"
[02:10] <racerd> soooo how do i get a scp lol
[02:10] <racerd> just the software center?
[02:10] <carl-m_> if you are running ubuntu, it should already be installed
[02:10] <JoseBravo> I did a resize using gparted and then I reboot the machine. Now I do df -h and I get the same size, fdisk show the old start-end, but parted show the correct info. http://pastebin.com/WWJMDRW1 Any idea?
[02:10] <racerd> what is it called?
[02:10] <Serpentinex> volume control application is nowhere to be found I need help
[02:11] <Serpentinex> I just want to turn up and down the volume
[02:11] <a3ist> Can someone remind me which x server binary shows the bindings for an input device?  IE press a key or button and it shows you the resulting signal
[02:12] <carl-m_> a3ist: xev
[02:12] <a3ist> carl-m thanks, had a brain fart
[02:12] <ubuntu> how the hell do i tell if gparted is frozen, it wont tell me how far it is in my resizing operation.
[02:12] <raj> great i tried to update using update manager .. and now it gives me i have 10 broken packages.. openoffice refuses to update any ideas?
[02:12] <Gryllida> ya
[02:13] <raj> You have 10 broken packages on your system!
 Use the "Broken" filter to locate them.
[02:13] <M4rotku> drizzt, to create what?
[02:13] <biff_> ubuntu: IIRC you can click for show more info, I don't remember where

[02:23] <buppa_> My Firefox is consuming 25% CPU usage, anyone knows whats the problem is? (flash is not installed)
[02:23] <biff_> buppa_: slow CPU?
[02:23] <buppa_> biff_, no its new
[02:23] <slinkeey> Hello...  Is it ok to ask questions related to Netbook Edition?
[02:23] <Gryllida> buppa_: did it previously work?
[02:24] <Gryllida> slinkeey: yes it is I think
[02:24] <buppa_> Gryllida, yes. but in Windows XP the cpu usage is 1-3%, but in ubuntu its 25%
[02:24] <slinkeey> Ok
[02:24] <biff_> buppa_: do you install graphic driver?
[02:25] <buppa_> biff_, yes, propertary driver for ATI Radeon HD 5770... the cpu consumption is not only high in firefox, but also when i move around window in Ubuntu
[02:26] <Gryllida> buppa_: did it previously work on Linux?
[02:26] <Gryllida> buppa_: I mean did it work fast there previously?
[02:26] <biff_> buppa_: are you sure that your ati drivers works? type glxinfo|grep DRI
[02:27] <buppa_> biff_, nothing happens i i type that in terminal
[02:27] <buppa_> Gryllida, no
[02:27] <cmg> how to i run a .bin file?
[02:27] <slinkeey> When I manually select Suspend or Hibernate, my Acer Aspire One works as expected...  When closing the lid and having the power settings set to suspend or hibernate it acts weird..  The system stays up but the screen goes dark...  When you lift the screen open again the fan spins up and the bottom of the netbook gets very hot.
[02:27] <jasmuz> buppa_: glxinfo | grep dro
[02:27] <biff_> buppa_: type glxinfo and find if mesa or properiety drviers ati work
[02:27] <drizzt_> cmg, ./filenamehere.bin

[02:28] <lint> hi can someone tell me why im getting this message when i login? "The login keyring did not get unlocked when you logged into your computer."
[02:28] <lint> and how to fix it?
[02:28] <cmg> okay it says i need to install a java Vm first, where do I get that?
[02:28] <Frigga_Frag> Just a quick question, I wanna change my login sound, but where on earth do I download .ogg files?
[02:28] <buppa_> jasmuz, nothing happens
[02:28] <Jordan_U> !java | cmg
[02:28] <Frigga_Frag> Or am I going about this all wrong somehow...
[02:28] <jasmuz> buppa_: weird*
[02:29] <cmg> i install the java6 package earlier but no luck
[02:29] <Frigga_Frag> :/
[02:29] <cmg> and before we start with the java issue, i accidently changed my repositories, how do i get them back to default?

[02:30] <lint> hi can someone tell me why im getting this message when i login? "The login keyring did not get unlocked when you logged into your computer."
[02:30] <biff_> buppa_: so you have properly installed ATI drivers, I don't have idea what is wrong
[02:30] <Gryllida> buppa_: um. which versions were these?
[02:31] <buppa_> Gryllida, ati-driver-installer-10-5-x86.x86_64.run
[02:31] <jasmuz> lint: the why is easy.. you have to check your gnome keyring, because you aren't being granted access to it.
[02:31] <Gryllida> buppa_: whatwhat? ati???
[02:31] <drizzt_> can anyone recomment a mail client like thunderbird but without XUL stuff?
[02:31] <buppa_> Gryllida, yes?
[02:31] <drizzt_> drizzt_, pure gtk etc
[02:31] <lint> jasmuz: how do i access it?
[02:31] <Gryllida> buppa_: I thought you were just installing Firefox.
[02:31] <jasmuz> drizzt_: Claws
[02:31] <biff_> drizzt_: evolution
[02:32] <Gryllida> buppa_: did Firefox start freezing after you installed that driver?
[02:32] <cmg> jordan_Uubottu : how do i get the default repositories back?
[02:32] <buppa_> Gryllida, when im using firefox, the cpu usage is 25% and also when i move around windows in Ubuntu ..
[02:32] <buppa_> Gryllida, no, never. just the cpu usage is very high :/
[02:32] <jasmuz> lint: in the preferences menu
[02:32] <Gryllida> buppa_: what is the relation of the ati driver here?
[02:32] <Frigga_Frag> Where can I download .ogg files?
[02:32] <buppa_> Gryllida, very high cpu usage in xorg
[02:33] <Frigga_Frag> I'm not entirely sure if what I'm planning to do will work, but I still wanna try.

[02:34] <_Christian> Hi? i need some help, i trying to run fear dedicated server, but when i try ./start.sh says "./fearserver.bin" it isnt in the directory but that not truth is in the directory:S
[02:34] <Frigga_Frag> Oh, jeez. I was searching with the wrong keywords. Thanks. >.<
[02:35] <Jordan_U> _Christian: Are using 64 bit Ubuntu?
[02:35] <_Christian> Yes
[02:35] <Tyril> I just upgraded from Karmic to Lucid and I noticed that RhythmBox Album art didn't work. Then I found out it was a plugin. So I removed the plugin which removed the music store plugin as well. Both packages had the red canonical logo next to them in Synaptic. Then I tried to reinstall and I got rhythmbox-plugins:
[02:35] <Tyril>   Depends: rhythmbox (=0.12.8-0ubuntu3) but 0.12.8-0ubuntu5 is to be installed I can't get the music store back either because it depends on the plugins package.
[02:35] <Jordan_U> _Christian: Are you using the 64 bit fear server?
[02:35] <buppa_> Anyone know how to reduce the CPU usage in Ubuntu? Its very high (i have installed the propertary drivers)
[02:36] <jasmuz> buppa_: are you running compiz?
[02:36] <_Christian> Mm Jordan_U, i think is for the bot 64 and 32
[02:36] <cynik_b> buppa_: you can check if radeonhd have support for your graphics
[02:36] <th0r> buppa_: use top to see the top cpu load
[02:36] <buppa_> jasmuz, yes
[02:36] <psycho> trying to play a game but says texture compression may be disabled.....how do i fix it?
[02:37] <drizzt_> open-source radeon drivers do not support 3d acceleration
[02:37] <Jordan_U> _Christian: You can check which arch it's for with "file fearserver.bin"
[02:37] <jasmuz> buppa_: try shutting compiz off and measure it again.
[02:37] <buppa_> th0r, Xorg 29%, Firefox 15%
[02:37] <th0r> buppa_: if you kill firefox what happens to xorg?
[02:38] <psycho> trying to play a game but says texture compression may be disabled.....how do i fix it?
[02:38] <slinkeey> When I manually select Suspend or Hibernate, my Acer Aspire One works as expected...  When closing the lid and having the power settings set to suspend or hibernate it acts weird..  The system stays up but the screen goes dark...  When you lift the screen open again the fan spins up and the bottom of the netbook gets very hot.
[02:38] <_Christian> Wait Jordan_U
[02:38] <biff_> drizzt_: you mean radeonhd don't have 3d support?
[02:38] <cletus> Greetings
[02:38] <buppa_> th0r, still very high, when i open/close windows and move around, it lags
[02:38] <drizzt_> yes
[02:38] <Tyril> I guess the question really is how do I get the 0.12.8-0ubuntu5 version of rhythmbox-plugins and rhythmbox-ubuntuone-music-store or how do I downgrade rhythmbox to 0.12.8-0ubuntu3?
[02:39] <drizzt_> it pretends to have dri, but it soes not work IRL
[02:39] <th0r> buppa_: then I would try backing up to the old video drivers and see if that helps
[02:40] <Berxwedan> guys can you recommend me a C ide?
[02:40] <carl-m|away> emacs
[02:40] <Gryllida> !ide
[02:40] <biff_> buppa_: visual studio ;)
[02:40] <biff_> f
[02:40] <Gryllida> ??
[02:40] <_Christian> [Jordan_U] i dont understand much waht are u saying, can be more especific, sorry for my bad english
[02:40] <biff_> Berxwedan: vusual studio
[02:40] <Berxwedan> microsoft visual studio?
[02:40] <Berxwedan> yeah of course :)
[02:41] <Berxwedan> will try emacs thanks
[02:41] <biff_> Berxwedan: vim is better ;)
[02:41] <buppa_> th0r, but is it because Ubuntu is decoding in the CPU instead of GPU?
[02:41] <Jordan_U> _Christian: In the directory that contains fearserver.bin run "file ./fearserver.bin" and pastebin the output.
[02:41] <_Christian> A okay

[02:42] <WizardEmpty> Does anyone know how to re-brand Ubuntu? I attempted to make a remix by stripping everything then putting xmonad on, I've customized it loads and to save time, I remastered it so I don't have to re-customize it on each install. A few of my friends like the look and speed of it and want to use it too, the same for some people I know on IRC, I'd like to keep customizing what I have and hopefully make my own ubuntu spin, but I'd like to replace the Ubu
[02:42] <WizardEmpty> ntu branding with my own, any help?
[02:42] <biff_> buppa_: ati drivers sucks, i have 3 radeons and have always problem with ati drivers
[02:42] <IdleOne> !ru | fraiz
[02:42] <fraiz> hello guys
[02:42] <fraiz> tfx
[02:42] <buppa_> biff_, how much is firefox / xorg consuming for you?
[02:42] <mary_> hey guys
[02:43] <biff_> buppa_: wait
[02:43] <psycho> trying to play a game but says texture compression may be disabled.....how do i fix it?
[02:43] <IdleOne> !hi | mary_
[02:43] <pvl1> psycho, what game? and do u have video drivers isntaleld
[02:43] <Berxwedan> !hi | IdleOne
[02:43] <_Christian> [Jordan_U] here is : http://pastebin.com/jX9xWsF8
[02:44] <Gryllida> biff_: vusual studio isn't supported on linux, is it?
[02:44] <IdleOne> Berxwedan: Hello
[02:44] <sef> hi I've modified my grub config to remove "quiet" and "splash", I now see the kernel boot up text, then things become black, then I see the graphical login prompt
[02:44] <biff_> buppa_: sorry, firefox is now compiling, I try user netbsd, and don't have ati, I sell my radeonhd 4850
[02:44] <pvl1> WizardEmpty, do u mean the ubuntu logo
[02:44] <mary_> say I just installed Lucid for a friend that has an ati rage pci card on a desktop running a LCD and X isn't detecting the correct resolution and I thought running  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  would help and it didn't, how can I get the card and resolution setup?
[02:44] <sef> what can I do not to see that "black" portion? I have a specific script running that I'm not seeing during that part
[02:44] <cletus> Hey everyone, Im on a livecd right now and it seems like the brightness was somehow turned down. Could this be due to my video card not having drivers installed yet?
[02:44] <buppa_> biff_, is ATI always bad with linux?
[02:44] <Jordan_U> _Christian: That is a 32 bit executable, if there is a 64 bit version available then you should use that instead
[02:45] <psycho> pvl1: left for dead and got radeon 9950
[02:45] <avi_> Hey all. Any way of having ubuntu wake up from suspend/sleep for the purposes of using it as an alarm clock? This is a desktop.
[02:45] <Berxwedan> no cletus
[02:45] <biff_> mary_: X -configure, copy xorg.conf to /etc/X11/xorg,conf, edit it and change what you want
[02:45] <psycho> pvl1: 9550
[02:45] <mwen> how can i see witch programs is running on my computer if i connect to it at distance?
[02:45] <biff_> buppa_: ati is ok with open source drivers but opengl is slow
[02:45] <cletus> berxwedan: know why?
[02:45] <buppa_> biff_, so where can i find the open source drivers?
[02:46] <_Christian> [Jordan_U] so it nevel will run :(?
[02:46] <thune3> cletus: maybe you had software pushed brightness on your other OS, and now it is back to default.
[02:46] <dewman> mwen, just type top at a $ prompt
[02:46] <im63KG> help msg
[02:46] <pvl1> psycho, and ur trying to run it thru wine? did u configure it in winecfg?
[02:46] <im63KG> help /msg
[02:46] <biff_> buppa_: search for radeonhd but I don't know if it have support for you card, check ubuntu repository for it or web
[02:46] <Jordan_U> _Christian: You can either try to find a native 64 bit version (recommended) or install 32 bit compatability libraries
[02:46] <mwen> ok. thanks. can i kill it?
[02:47] <no-name> What can I use to mount a floppy image (format = .img) in ubuntu? I tried Furious ISO mount but it just read it as an empty folder. (It is a Windows 3.11 Install Disk 1)
[02:47] <mary_> biff_, Lucid doesn't have xorg.conf
[02:47] <psycho> pvl1: no....how i do it?
[02:47] <dewman> mwen, kill what? top?
[02:47] <mary_> biff_, I thought running sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg would create one

[02:48] <mwen> kill like firefox if it running.
[02:48] <biff_> mary_: wait, I will boot my desktop and check ;)

[02:48] <KittyBoots> Hello everyone, I have Ubuntu 10.4 installed and I am trying to interface with a canon lide 600f scanner with no success.  I believe that there is no driver support for this piece of equipment.  How can I resolve this issue?
[02:48] <Jordan_U> _Christian: No danger, but have you looked for a native 64 bit version?
[02:48] <pvl1> psycho, well you are running it in wine right?
[02:48] <_Christian> Yeah, doesn't exist:/
[02:49] <biff_> mary_: wait

[02:50] <pvl1> psycho, run winecfg in a terminal, but theres things u need to know to edit. gimme a minute
[02:50] <thune3> cletus: if you are on laptop, you could add brighness applet to a panel to facilitate adjustment
[02:50] <mary_> biff_, I think I found what you use:
[02:50] <mary_> Instead of editing xorg.conf, in Ubuntu 10.04 you edit /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-wacom.conf
[02:50]  * mary_ looks
[02:50] <psycho> pvl1: k
[02:50] <WizardEmpty> pvl1: Not just that, I've done all the easy stuff, like GDM, Splash, Wallpapers, it's the boot-up thats causing me head-aches.
[02:50] <pvl1> WizardEmpty, oohh, the actuall splash. gimme a minute
[02:50] <_Christian> [Jordan_U] well, how i can install that libraries?
[02:51] <mwen> dewman: if firefox is running can i kill it at distance?
[02:51] <pvl1> psycho, hm no, the wine website says that it should all run withut confiug
[02:51] <Jordan_U> _Christian: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=474790

[02:52] <dewman> just find the pid and kill it using top
[02:52] <WizardEmpty> pv1, Thanks!
[02:52] <dewman> mwen, in top k is for kill

[02:53] <mary_> How can I run sudo  Xorg -configure in Gnome?
[02:53] <mwen> other things i must know?
[02:53] <pvl1> WizardEmpty, u mean something like this: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Crunchy+Branch+-+Plymouth+%26+Usplash?content=102489
[02:53] <luka1> how can i make the window border thicker in ubuntu netbook?

[02:54] <mary_> yeah you have to go out of X
[02:54] <mary_> run it in like runlevel 1 or something
[02:54] <pvl1> mary_, in that case, switch to a different tty, know how to do that
[02:54] <pvl1> !tty
[02:54] <mary_> yeah
[02:54] <pvl1> mary_, im pretty sure u gotta log into tty and do i tfrom there
[02:55] <glick> hi
[02:55] <WizardEmpty> pvl1: No, I mean the tty text - before X, when you login, it says "ubuntu....etc.etc...
[02:55] <WizardEmpty> "
[02:55] <glick> excuse me, does anyone know any usb network adaptors that i can buy at like best buy or something that will work with ubuntu?
[02:55] <glick> i just bought a netgear one but it doesnt work
[02:55] <biff_> mary_: LOL, ubuntu can use xorg.conf if you generate it with X -configure
[02:55] <WizardEmpty> pvl1: I'd like to modify that
[02:56] <pvl1> WizardEmpty, when you log in but before x? so you go past grub, choose a boot, and itll take you through text to a terminal. do you mean the terminal or right befor it?
[02:56] <Jordan_U> martian: Before trying Xorg -configure, have you tried System > Administration > Hardware Drivers?

[03:04] <chetnick> I have a bunch of file ending with .html? What is the best way to truncate .html from the end? Thanks.
[03:04] <pvl1> thebruce, can you use it in bios
[03:04] <thebruce> i am using  the logitech bluetooth usb dongle with the mx5500
[03:04] <thebruce> pvl1, yes
[03:04] <WizardEmpty> pvl1: That's great, it's a start! Where can I find ofinitrd?
[03:04] <thebruce> it's strange
[03:05] <Jordan_U> _Christian: Yes
[03:05] <pvl1> thebruce, im willing to bet that theres an option in your bios for plug n play. try turning it off
[03:05] <WizardEmpty> pvl1: I'm not on an ubuntu set up so I can't check, sorry.
[03:05] <thebruce> pvl1, ahh yes indeed there is
[03:05] <thebruce> would that have unwanted effects?
[03:05] <pvl1> WizardEmpty, hm, lemme see. i personally havent looked into it
[03:05] <WizardEmpty> pvl1: Okay
[03:06] <blocky> is beagle the best desktop search?
[03:06] <hiexpo> !best
[03:06] <blocky> *sigh*
[03:07] <pvl1> WizardEmpty, are you using debian? find cant find ofinitrd
[03:07] <blocky> hiexpo, do you use an addon desktop search>?
[03:07] <WizardEmpty> pvl1: No, sorry I'm on Sabayon
[03:08] <pvl1> WizardEmpty, thats fine. im just trying to clarify
[03:08] <hiexpo> blocky, i just use the one that it came with
[03:09] <hiexpo> blocky, but i was just rweading about beagle and it looks pretty good for searching logs etc
[03:10] <pvl1> WizardEmpty, i used ubuntu's startup process. you should find sabayon's boot process, maybe theres is different
[03:11] <hiexpo> blocky, because i really don'tneed a search engine i am the search engine i know where everything is at and i control the computer and don't just let things scatter i put them where i want them
[03:12] <JoeSomebody> how do you check a ntfs drive for errors with a live cd?
[03:12] <pvl1> JoeSomebody, load gparted, right click the partition and select check disk for errosr
[03:12] <pvl1> JoeSomebody, or do you want a terminal command
[03:13] <JoeSomebody> either
[03:13] <drizzt_> blocky, i'm afraid it's only working solution for Linux
[03:13] <Alael> hi
[03:13] <drizzt_> blocky, but then again, it's tainted with Mono, really sad
[03:13] <Appl6> JoeSomebody: You have to use a Windows CD.  Linux NTFS tools are not advanced enough to do full repairs.
[03:13] <hiexpo> blocky,  so i do not just click n go here like most have become use to in windows click n go and oh *** where is it andnowthings do not work right i investigate it thourly
[03:14] <hiexpo> thouroughly*
[03:14] <JoeSomebody> ok
[03:15] <Appl6> JoeSomebody: Linux has ntfsfix, which does some basic error checking and recovery, but using chkdsk from a Windows CD is the better option.
[03:15] <JoeSomebody> ok
[03:15] <sef> yeah, I think the frame buffer driver in 10.04 does not like the Chrome9 HC3 video card in my Lenovo S12, any attempt to Ctrl-Alt-F[1-6] gets me a screen full of a solid color
[03:15] <JoeSomebody> thanks
[03:15] <sef> how can I disable framebuffer usage for console?
[03:16] <hiexpo> sef, killall

[03:17] <aaaoooaaa> drizzt_: yes I understand that it failed
[03:17] <hiexpo> aaaoooaaa,  what is the error it will tell you

[03:17] <hiexpo> killall framebuffer
[03:18] <hiexpo> why do u want to kill it
[03:18] <Alael> what is the error message
[03:19] <hiexpo> aaaoooaaa,  thats right winrar is windows
[03:19] <aaaoooaaa> hiexpo: uhuh... so what are my options now?
[03:20] <hiexpo> aaaoooaaa,  unrar free

[03:20] <Jon--> Occasionally, when I boot Ubuntu, my windows have no title. It's like this now. How can I 1) fix this now and 2) prevent this in the future? [lucid]
[03:20] <aaaoooaaa> drizzt_: how do you come to that conclusion?
[03:20] <hiexpo> right click on it extract here  if it has a problem it will tell u why
[03:20] <aaaoooaaa> drizzt_: start making educated guesses for a start
[03:21] <vieira> pvlv1: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SSH#Speed_up_SSH
[03:21] <aaaoooaaa> drizzt_: you'd have to be educated first guess
[03:21] <pvl1> thnx vieira
[03:21] <Appl6> pvl1: Try arcfour compression.  Its security isn't established, but it's much faster.
[03:21] <Im63KgWeight> aaaoooaaa: 7zip can work for u as well
[03:21] <Jon--> Occasionally, when I boot Ubuntu, my windows have no title. It's like this now. How can I 1) fix this now and 2) prevent this in the future? [lucid]
[03:21] <hiexpo> drizzt_,  - oh is that what he's doing
[03:21] <Gryllida> How do I turn off font smoothing in firefox?
[03:21] <pvl1> Appl6, i think im suing arcfour and blowfish
[03:21] <fr1sco> 7zip is the best
[03:21] <aaaoooaaa> Im63KgWeight: ok thanks ill check that out
[03:21] <drizzt_> aaaoooaaa, what is the archive size, btw?
[03:22] <vieira> pvl1: Is this a lan connection or over internet?
[03:22] <hiexpo> drizzt_,  - whats an archive lol watch
[03:22] <aaaoooaaa> drizzt_: what difference would it make?
[03:22] <pvl1> vieira, both, but even over lan, it occasionally gets choppy. the application in question is eclipse. i have a feeling it might just be eclipse
[03:22] <aaaoooaaa> drizzt_: is there a limit on unrar by file size?
[03:23] <vieira> pvl1: eclipse gets choppy even when running locally xD
[03:23] <hiexpo> aaaoooaaa,  maybe the rar is corrupt
[03:23] <drizzt_> aaaoooaaa, ext4 filesystem can corrupt files >512 MB
[03:23] <thune3> Jon--: you can disable compiz: http://wwww.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1479711&page=2 or try this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1478301
[03:23] <pvl1> vieira, figured as such. but im still going to permenantly enable the things the sites recommends
[03:24] <aaaoooaaa> drizzt_: im not on ext4
[03:24] <vieira> pvl1: It's a little faster with that things enabled but it's not a huge difference.
[03:24] <pvl1> vieira, every little bit will help in this case
[03:25] <vieira> pvl1: :)
[03:25] <gimble> i cant install firefox 3.5 on my warty

[03:27] <gimble> grub2 as of lucid is awesome!
[03:27] <gimble> grub2 as of karmic was terrible!
[03:27] <Gryllida> ...?
[03:27] <dcamp25> Broadcom BC4312 shows up as eth1
[03:28] <njbair> where's a good chan to ask about the psnup utility?
[03:28] <Gryllida> apologies, I installed 10.4, looks like I had grub 1.98 after that, is it ok?
[03:28] <Dargon> hey guys, after i install kubuntu-desktop, how do i get it to run?
[03:28] <gimble> Gryllida, i believe so
[03:28] <luka1> how can i move the close/minimize/maximize buttons from top left corner to top right corner of windows? ubuntu netbook
[03:28] <hiexpo> dcamp25, whats wrong with that
[03:29] <dcamp25> trying to run aircrack and it should be wlan0
[03:29] <aaaoooaaa> Im63KgWeight: man 7z | grep -n "rar" does not yield anything so I dont think it supports rar
[03:29] <Appl6> Dargon: You should be able to select it at the login screen.
[03:29] <hiexpo> dcamp25,  - wlan0 is just used as a referance no two cards are the same
[03:30] <Dargon> appl6, so if i reboot the machine ill get the option?
[03:30] <Appl6> luka1: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/13535/move-window-buttons-back-to-the-right-in-ubuntu-10.04/
[03:30] <Im63KgWeight> aaaoooaaa: i don't think so, rar is supported. use 7za x *rar
[03:30] <Dargon> Appl6: its ubuntu server
[03:30] <Appl6> Dargon: You should be able to get it by logging out.
[03:30] <Dargon> k
[03:30] <Dargon> sec
[03:30] <luka1> thanks Appl6
[03:31] <dcamp25> hiexpo, understand, still will not enter monitor mode,  can i change the name somehow  ?

[03:31] <Dargon> dayrot: chmod

[03:32] <Ivis> ?
[03:32] <dayrot> thanks
[03:32] <hiexpo> dcamp25,  - sudo airomon-ng
[03:32] <hiexpo> dcamp25,  - see if you card shows up
[03:33] <aaaoooaaa> Im63KgWeight: yeah it says it supports unpacking
[03:33] <dcamp25> hiexpo, already got that,  still same issue interface will not enter monitor mode.  some how 10.04 does not identify the card correctly
[03:33] <aaaoooaaa> Im63KgWeight: so whats the diff between 7z,7za &7zr?
[03:33] <Appl6> Dargon: So you start in runlevel 3?  Why not just startkde then?
[03:33] <aaaoooaaa> Im63KgWeight: the man pages seem similar
[03:34] <dcamp25> hiexpo, card shows up as unknown
[03:34] <hiexpo> dcamp25,  - what does it show up as when you type sudo airmon-ng ?
[03:34] <hiexpo> oopsoh
[03:34] <Im63KgWeight> aaaoooaaa: i quit don't know about the differents between them,sometimes i simply use 7z to uncompress archieves and sometime use 7za instead.:/
[03:34] <dayrot> any idea why a mounted hard drive shows up under media/4884D41D84D40EF6? And is it possible to make it something easy, it is an internal sata drive. Would be nice if it was automatically mounted all the time too.
[03:34] <dcamp25> hiexpo,  eth1		Unknown 		wl

[03:35] <Ivis> ok mybe someone can answer ?
[03:36] <Bleach> how to install safari 5 in ubuntu 9.10
[03:36] <Ivis> :)
[03:36] <Jordan_U> Bleach: Why?
[03:36] <PDG1> Bleach, why?...
[03:36] <sebsebseb> Bleach: no Safari for Linux distros,  and plenty of other better browsers to choose from :)
[03:36] <musturd> Safari = the devil
[03:36] <PDG1> lolz @ Jordan_U for thinking the same thing
[03:36] <Pip> what does a "dummy transitional package" mean ?
[03:36] <Bleach> its fastest  thats why
[03:36] <Unholy> any one here familiar with stinbd's kitchen?
[03:37] <sebsebseb> Bleach: also the rendering engine which Safari and Chrome and Chromium use Webkit, is based on KHTML what Konqueror uses, and now thats a pretty nice browser to have in a Linux distro :)
[03:37] <Bleach> i had try to install it through wine but
[03:37] <sebsebseb> Bleach: if you don't want to use Firefox I mean
[03:37] <xxpor> Bleach: thats debatable
[03:37] <Unholy> ups wrong channel
[03:37] <PDG1> Bleach, ... that is the wrong way to go :p
[03:37] <sebsebseb> !browsers | Bleach
[03:37] <xxpor> Bleach: try Chrome, they are similar
[03:37] <Bleach> sebsebseb: how can i.. becoz im using gnome.. not kde
[03:37] <musturd> I use Chrome
[03:37] <musturd> and like it
[03:37] <Keith> Was wondering if someone can help me. I am trying to install with wubi, system appears to load but halfway through it kicks me back to the grub screen asking to rerun program, try diagnostic, or run Windows 7. When I boot from CD this is the first time it was successful, any idea what I'm doing wrong?
[03:38] <musturd> I use chrome in Gnome
[03:38] <Jordan_U> Pip: A good example is what happened when the application "gaim" changed its name to "pidgin". The package name had to change, but users using gaim had to be upgraded to pidgin automatically.
[03:38] <musturd> sudo apt-get install google-chrome
[03:38] <musturd> done
[03:38] <PDG1> musturd, chrome is webkit 2, isn't it?
[03:38] <sebsebseb> Bleach: if you do a browser in Wine, and don't change the user agent,   website statistics will be told that your using Windows
[03:38] <PDG1> webkit aswell*
[03:38] <Bleach> xxpror: i try chrome.. while compare with safari nope.. it s no use
[03:38] <sebsebseb> Bleach: you can  run most KDE apps inside Gnome as well
[03:38] <musturd> yes I'm pretty sure it is
[03:38] <Jordan_U> Pip: So a dummy package was created called "gaim" that did nothing but depend on (and therefore install) "pidgin"
[03:38] <musturd> It is webkit I mean
[03:38] <sebsebseb> musturd: Chrome uh
[03:39] <sebsebseb> musturd: see above
[03:39] <sebsebseb> Chromium  maybe,  Chrome no,   FIrefox :)   Konqueror :)  Opera uhmm yeah ok, yes closed source, but ok :)
[03:39] <Im63KgWeight> musturd: i prefer opera, the ICO 'O' look much beautiful then chrome. do u think so? :-)
[03:39] <Bleach> sebsebseb: so do u give me a linux deb file link for that kde browser
[03:40] <PDG1> I'm having a weird problem with my display when i try to watch video. if i go full screen it shows some black blocks and such
[03:40] <Seven_Six_Two> I don't have a "me menu". How do I add one to my panel?
[03:40] <sebsebseb> musturd: and webkit woudn't even exist, if it wasn't for Konqueror with its KHTML that Apple deicded to fork making webkit
[03:40] <Bleach> sebsebseb: so that i might use
[03:40] <arnor> Or, for that matter, where do I set stuff that used to belong in /boot/grub/menu.lst, as of Lucid?
[03:40] <musturd> I got hooked on Chrome before I moved to Ubuntu, so I just installed it as soon as I came to Ubuntu
[03:40] <sebsebseb> Bleach: uhmm the good browsers for Ubuntu are already in the repo
[03:40] <Pip> Jordan_U, sounds like a meaningful reinstall, right ?
[03:40] <OldPete> Yes, Chrome is WebKit.  There's another one out there in sort of permanent Beta called Midori that is also WebKit.
[03:40] <sebsebseb> Bleach: uh not just Ubuntu, other Linux distros as well
[03:40] <musturd> So I should try Opera?
[03:40] <sebsebseb> musturd: if you want
[03:40] <sebsebseb> musturd: however Konqueror is :)
[03:41] <hiexpo> opera is nice and light weight
[03:41] <sebsebseb> musturd: Konqueror is my favourite browser after  Firefox
[03:41] <n2diy> my test box is afu. Last night it reported a restart was required, which was a surprise, as I hadn't done any updates. did the restart, and fsck failed. I was told I needed to run fsck manually, in maintance mode, and mount the system read only. Further down, it said I was in maintance mode, read only, so I ran fsck. Had a bunch of errors, but managed to get to the X log in screen. But no joy there, as it wouldn't take my password. So,
[03:41] <n2diy>  I booted into recovery mode, and tried changing my password there, no joy, I wasn't known to the authentication module.So I tried adding user vic, and he didn't get a password, because he isn't known to the auth. module either. Whats going on?
[03:41] <musturd> sebsebseb: You would suggest Konqueror even with Gnome?
[03:41] <sebsebseb> musturd: yes
[03:41] <sebsebseb> musturd: just like I would suggest Konversation for IRC, even if going to run it in Gnome
[03:41] <User01> ubuntu0 supports auto detect hardware on boot right
[03:41] <User01> ubuntu
[03:42] <Bleach> sebsebseb: i had tryout that midori.. but its a waste of time..
[03:42] <sebsebseb> musturd: and I would suggest K3B as a good alternative to brasero, and KDM as a good alternative to GDM for the log in screen
[03:42] <sebsebseb> Bleach: yeah midori is new not tried it yet actsaully
[03:42] <PDG1> sebsebseb, why not just use Kubuntu tjem?
[03:42] <PDG1> then*
[03:42] <User01> what's the most reliable distro to auto detect hardware on boot
[03:42] <Bleach> sebsebseb:so i try khtml
[03:42] <Jordan_U> Bleach: Try Google Chrome, being fast and light is its main advantage over other browsers.
[03:42] <musturd> Sounds good sebsebseb, I'll give them a try
[03:43]  * sebsebseb been mixing Gnome  and KDE apps here and there, since 2004/5
[03:43] <sebsebseb> Bleach: KHTML is the rendering engine that Konqueror uses to display webpages
[03:43] <OldPete> Midori is fast but lacking features.  'Course the lacking features is one reason it is so fast.
[03:43] <arnor> Anyone? What is the new location for things that used to go in /boot/grub/menu.lst?
[03:43] <Bleach> jordon u: but how can i block flash files in chrome.
[03:43] <sebsebseb> Bleach: Apple decided to fork it and make their own version and so made Webkit, which  Safari, Chrome, Chromium, and some other browsers use
[03:44] <Jordan_U> Bleach: http://www.chromeextensions.org/appearance-functioning/flashblock/
[03:44] <skreet>  easy/preferred way to assign hotkeys to apps in GNOME?
[03:44] <Bleach> sebsebseb: the new html5 concept while apple said abt.. will e supported..
[03:44] <sebsebseb> oh yeah Arora is also nice
[03:44] <Appl6> arnor: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[03:44] <Bleach> jordon u: thk dude.. i ll try
[03:44] <Ivis> Hi, can i upgrade from beta2 10.04 to stable ?
[03:45] <sebsebseb> Bleach: musturd  Windows is pretty sucky really when it comes to browser choice, much more choice in a Linux distro
[03:45] <sebsebseb> Bleach: musturd even text only browsers, which can be fun to play around with a bit
[03:45] <itilious> how can i delete a directory that was made from Ubuntu linux but in a windows environment?
[03:45] <hiexpo> sebsebseb,  why use all those kde apps with gnome if that is the case why not just run kde desktop
[03:46] <itilious> it appears ubuntu made the file name/location invalid for windows to do anything, could some one help me out on how to delete such directories?
[03:46] <sebsebseb> hiexpo: I will again sometimes now that KDE 4.3 is useable for me, without just going back to Gnome
[03:46] <ubuntitude> hey, guys. Every type of media i attempt to play on Lucid has an annoying error where the volume slider on whatever app I'm using refuses to stay on any setting other than max; if i set it lower, it just steadily climbs back to maximum volume. any way to remedy this?
[03:46] <arnor> Appl6: Thanks, my google fu is failing today
[03:46] <sebsebseb> hiexpo: since more KDE 3 like
[03:46] <Jordan_U> Bleach: Youtube is pushing to go html5, Google owns Youtube. Chrome supports HTML5 video better than Safari IMHO (it supports Free codecs as well rather than just Apple's pet h.264)
[03:46] <musturd> sebsebseb: I like lynx :)
[03:46] <sebsebseb> hiexpo: why mix apps, since  sometimes the other DE has a better app for a task
[03:46] <skreet> sebsebseb:  I can't think of many browsers for Linux that aren't available for Windows.
[03:47] <sebsebseb> skreet: well some are available for Windows that weren't say a few years ago, but  they will still be better on Linux
[03:47] <skreet> sebsebseb: Are you referring to Konqueror?  Can't think of much else that is recent..
[03:47] <skreet> Dillo comes to mind, is that still around?
[03:47] <sebsebseb> skreet: dillo is still around yeah
[03:47] <sebsebseb> skreet: and Galeon and Epiphany
[03:48] <sebsebseb> skreet: don't think those three have a Windows version
[03:48] <skreet> sebsebseb: Never heard of Galeon -- Isn't Epiphany really a firefox rebuild (sorry if it's not, I've never used it)
[03:48] <TheAngel> how come my "minimize/maximize/close" menu is gone?
[03:49] <sebsebseb> skreet: Galeon used to be the default browser for the Gnome Desktop Environment,  most Gnome distros will use FIrefox instead :).    However Galeon is nice,  but  not developed that much anymore if at all really.  Epiphany is the new default for Gnome,  used to use Gecko now uses Webkit.
[03:49] <skreet> sebsebseb: Was just reading wikipedia on Epiphany - I really thought it was like 'Iceweasel', with more GNOME tweaking -- I stand corrected.
[03:49] <sebsebseb> TheAngel:  Gone or just on the left?
[03:50] <ubuntitude> does anyone know of a fix for the volume slider on mplayer, movie player, rhythmbox, etc. constantly sliding to max volume regardless of the intended setting?
[03:50] <hiexpo> TheAngel,  did u change your theme or something
[03:50] <nUboon2Age> Q: does Ubuntu 64bit work fairly well or is it known to be glitchy?  My girlfriend is thinking of a machine w/ quadcore 64 bit capability.  Is it a better bet to run it w/ 32 bit or 64 bit?
[03:50] <TheAngel> hiexpo, no all i did was use ubuntu tweak, to get that menu to the right.
[03:50] <sebsebseb> ubuntitude: 64bit Ubuntu works quite well
[03:50] <skreet> nUboon2Age: Using 64-bit now.  Should be okay, might run into issues with things like wine.
[03:50] <TheAngel> it was working fine for a few days.
[03:50] <sebsebseb> TheAngel: ok really the menu should be on the right :)
[03:50] <dayrot> OK, so I have manually changed the permissions of a folder I am trying to share over the network using chmod to allow read and execute to "others", but when I right click on the folder and look at the properties it is set as none...
[03:50] <TheAngel> no, its gone.
[03:50] <TheAngel> not on the left or right.
[03:50] <Bleach> Jordon_U:
[03:50] <sebsebseb> TheAngel: oh
[03:51] <hiexpo> nUboon2Age,  32 bit
[03:51] <skreet> hiexpo: Curious, why?
[03:51] <ubuntitude> sebsebseb: i think you were trying to get in contact with nUboon2Age, not me :P
[03:51] <sebsebseb> TheAngel: maybe use Ubuntu tweak to  get it back
[03:51] <dayrot> If I try to change it from the GUI it doesn't let me, and instantly reverts back to none...
[03:51] <TheAngel> and if i use ubuntu tweak again it says the menu should still be at the right. Switching it back to the left didnt seem to change it back.
[03:51] <sebsebseb> ubuntitude: uh what?
[03:51] <dayrot> Anyone have any idea why this might be?
[03:51] <hiexpo> skreet, seems to run better uses less resources
[03:51] <nUboon2Age> hiexpo: please elaborate
[03:51] <Bleach> Jordon_U: the flash blocker is good.. and html5 which google plan to move is good too
[03:51] <acerimmer> TheAngel: same thing happened to me when I used utweak and had visual effects enabled.  Turn off visual effects.  Run the panels script to follow and then reset your panels.
[03:51] <ubuntitude> sebsebseb: you told me ubuntu 64bit works quite well; that doesn't seem to have any relevance to my question :P
[03:52] <acerimmer> !panels>theangel
[03:52] <acerimmer> !panels|theangel
[03:52] <sebsebseb> ubuntitude: oh I see a wrong person message again
[03:52] <sebsebseb> nUboon2Age: Ubuntu 64bit works quite well
[03:52] <skreet> hiexpo: Definately will use less resources, but *can* address more memory natively.  I guess I prefer 64-bit because it's all headed in that direction.
[03:52] <skreet> Looks like the official stance of the Ubuntu chat room is:  "either"
[03:52] <cynical> nUboon2Age: I've been using 64-bit for a few releases now, everything works well
[03:52] <dsnyders> Is there a way to list the folders that contain a particular type of file?  just the folders, not the files themselves?
[03:52] <ubuntitude> sebsebseb: hehe, nice save
[03:53] <hiexpo> lol
[03:53] <skreet> Anyone else tried using Empathy for IRC?  So far I'm not a fan -- maybe there are tricks (besides 'install something else' -- I like checking out the defaults with each release)
[03:53] <PDG1> skreet, xchat ftw
[03:53] <nUboon2Age> sebsebseb: skreet: ubuntitude: cynical: thanks for your feedback!
[03:54] <hiexpo> xchat works great
[03:54] <scoates> hello.
[03:54] <skreet> PDG1: hiexpo:  v.v
[03:54] <dayrot> Anyone?
[03:54] <ubuntitude> nUboon2Age: wait, i provided feedback? That's news to me!
[03:54] <skreet> I know Xchat works great! :]
[03:54] <scoates> I've somehow managed to kill my bind, and /etc/init.d/bind9 start fails (rndc can't connect). What do I need to start so rndc can connect to the bind service?
[03:54] <jasmuz> skreet: Pidgin does it all
[03:54] <PDG1> skreet, then why are you using anything else :P
[03:54] <skreet> PDG1: Trying to test out the defaults, get a feel for the direction of Ubuntu =)
[03:55] <nUboon2Age> ubuntitude: oops, well thanks for being u. :)
[03:55] <ubuntitude> nUboon2Age: i try, i try ;)
[03:55] <hiexpo> pidgin is good also but i just use it for my messangers and xchat for irc
[03:55] <skreet> I like the way Empathy integrates with the panel in 10.04.  Can you do that with Pidgin, too?
[03:56] <ubuntitude> well, i guess nobody has ever encountered this volume slider glitch before. great.
[03:56] <PDG1> skreet, ooohhhh
[03:57] <Appl6> skreet: Pidgin has a buggy libnotify-plugin that handles some of the panel interactions.  I tried Empathy and it was fine for AIM, MSN, and IRC (for me, anyway), but I dropped it because it didn't show whether some AIM contacts were using a mobile phone.
[03:57] <skreet> Appl6: Good to know, thanks for the info.
[03:57] <antonio_> hey everyone...
[03:57] <scoates> nm.. config error. my fault.
[03:57] <antonio_> is there any program on Ubuntu to record webcam video, as well as record audio from a separate source (microphone)?
[03:58] <Brian---> Question / big problem.  dist-upgrade via graphical (synaptic) stalled at "setting up grub-pc..." "18 minutes remaining".  What should I do? (karmic->lucid)
[03:58] <jasmuz> Appl6: Empathy still has a long way to go before replacing my trusty Pidgin
[03:58] <hiexpo> antonio_, cheese
[03:58] <antonio_> hiexpo: can I record audio with Cheese?  My webcam does't have a mic
[03:59] <hiexpo> antonio_, not absolutely sure but i think so investigate it
[03:59] <User01> ubuntu autodetects hardware on boot?
[03:59] <skreet> User01:  The linux kernel detects hardware at boot-time, yes.
[03:59] <acerimmer> User01: we hope...
[03:59] <User01> hahaha ;)
[04:00] <acerimmer> antonio_: explain.  you mean overlay a soundtrack on video??
[04:00] <User01> different video card types are harder to detect
[04:00] <dayrot> anyone know why i cant change permissions on a folder?
[04:00] <hiexpo> !cheese | antonio_
[04:00] <OldPete> antonio_: I've used recordMyDesktop do that.  Requires some messing around with audio settings in your mixer.  Struggled with it before I figured it out.  http://linuxappfinder.com/package/recordmydesktop
[04:01] <ubuntitude> dayrot: are you using sudo or logging in as root?
[04:01] <dayrot> no, but it acts like it does it
[04:01] <skreet> User01:  What kind of video card do you have.  Generally the linux kernel doesn't care too much and Xorg will need the proper driver.  Ubuntu handles a lot of this seemlessly.
[04:01] <dayrot> trying it with sudo now
[04:01] <dukz> hi guys, i'm having problem with booting into ubuntu after a fresh install in my server
[04:01] <antonio_> oldpete: not messing with that junk program anymore
[04:01] <dukz> it just stays blank after the BIOS POST
[04:01] <dukz> anybody experience this?
[04:01] <dsnyders> Is there a way to list the folders that contain a particular type of file (say *.mp3)?  just the folders, not the files themselves?
[04:02] <dukz> I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Server Edition
[04:02] <User01> skreet: an ati xpress2 00
[04:02] <OldPete> antonio_: Alrighty then.
[04:02] <skreet> dukz:  Does it say anything about GRUB, or "Loading stage 1.5..."?
[04:02] <dayrot> ok, sudo did not help
[04:02] <ubuntitude> dsnyders: not that i know of; your best bet would be to search for the type of file you're looking for and then jump up a level
[04:03] <User01> skreet: if the native install is on a nvidia system it still detects ati cards eh
[04:03] <skreet> User01:  ATI's support for Linux is (last time I played with it) not great.  I've been buying nVidia for years because of this.  Maybe someone can shed some more recent light on it.  That being said, you can certainly use the standard display drivers without issue, just no 3d acceleration.
[04:03] <dukz> skreet: Nope. didnt even load the grub
[04:03] <ubuntitude> User01: if my dinosaur Latitude D610 can run Lucid, anything can :P
[04:03] <User01> skreet okay I'm holding my breath :) ty
[04:03] <antonio_> good chese works
[04:03] <antonio_> thanks all
[04:03] <felix_> Got a little problem with Gnome main menu, it's not really technical just an annoyance. The application icons all got smaller, I'm used to the icons being the default being using it like that for a long time, just to see if anybody knows how to solve it/
[04:03] <dsnyders> ubuntitude, Shucks!  I was hoping for some magic incantation of the find command
[04:04] <User01> ubuntitude: heheehe ya
[04:04] <rezolute> [23:01] <dukz> it just stays blank after the BIOS POST
[04:04] <rezolute> [23:01] <dukz> anybody experience this?
[04:04] <dukz> i installed it twice, and it's the same thing
[04:04] <Jordan_U> dukz: Do you have more than one hard drive?
[04:04] <rezolute> you have a video card with 2 dvi ports
[04:04] <skreet> User01:  Not sure what you mean by it detects ATI with nvidia card.  I have no issue here with nvidia cards.
[04:04] <rezolute> switch it to the other one
[04:04] <dukz> Jordan_U: Yeah, it's using a hardware RAID controller
[04:04] <dukz> I installed 9.04 on a similar server a month ago and it didnt have this problem
[04:04] <skreet> dukz: Is said RAID contoller configured as a bootable device in the BIOS boot order?
[04:05] <dukz> skreet: It should be, i didnt touch the RAID controller on the previous OS that was running in it.
[04:05] <dukz> i didnt change the settings of the RAID controller after i formatted it
[04:05] <Jordan_U> dukz: Real hardware RAID or fakeraid? (which is the scam that you get with "raid" controllers on consumer machines)
[04:05] <Roky> alright guys I am having a problem. Everytime I try and boot the installer it hangs on kernel_thread_helper+0x7 0x10
[04:06] <dukz> Jordan_U: Real Hardware raid... HP Smart Array Controller
[04:06] <skreet> Odd question, do you have anything connected via USB such as a thumbdrive or external hard drive.  Also, is it a Dell?
[04:06] <skreet> Disregard Dell question.
[04:06] <skreet> :)
[04:06] <dukz> :)
[04:06] <igoryonya_> hello, I've decided to print to CUPS/PDF from a program that doesn't have a PDF export/save option. I thought, that when it starts printing to CUPS/PDF, it will ask me about the file name/location, but the printer icon just appeared, as if it was printing in the system tray, and disappeared, when finished, where did the PDF file go? I have Ubuntu 9.04.
[04:06] <skreet> You did the install via CD right?
[04:06] <ubuntitude> i love how my D610 can run Ubuntu with all the fancy extra graphical add-ons whereas it could barely even run barebones XP
[04:06] <dukz> already removed the usb stick
[04:06] <skreet> No weird ILO virtual DVD
[04:06] <dukz> i installed it using a usb drive
[04:06] <skreet> Ah
[04:06] <dukz> nope
[04:06] <dukz> nothing
[04:06] <skreet> Does it have a CD?
[04:06] <skreet> If so, check out SuperGrubDisk
[04:07] <ubuntitude> dukz: i'd say to try to burn it onto a CD if possible; sometimes installing from a USB can get funky
[04:07] <dukz> i downloaded an ISO, and created a startup disk with the tool inside ubuntu desktop
[04:07] <skreet> I guess you could use USB for that, too.  Basically will boot grub from CD then start up your Linux on your system -- gives you a way to look at what's going on better.
[04:07] <dukz> hmmm
[04:07] <skreet> My instinct here is the GRUB step somehow got missed or errored out.
[04:07] <skreet> So you have no MBR executable.
[04:07] <skreet> i.e. no boot.
[04:08] <Jordan_U> skreet: dukz: Super GRUB2 Disk can be dd'd to a flash drive as well
[04:08] <dukz> ok, wait leme check that out.
[04:08] <ubuntitude> 404 ISO boot: Image not found :S
[04:08] <DarkDigitalDream> I upgraded my OS from 9.04 to 10.04 on my laptop via the package manager upgrade tool. Since then I've noticed issues with screen artifacts, sound drivers failing randomly, conky not drawing to desktop, and firefox crashing more than usual. This can be generally described as frustrating.
[04:08] <dukz> dang... i only have 1 key right now.hehe
[04:08] <igoryonya_> where does the PDF file goes when you print to CUPS/PDF?
[04:08] <skreet> ooh, SuperGRUB2?  Neato.
[04:09] <skreet> DarkDigitalDream: Sounds awful.  What kind of video card is in the laptop?
[04:09] <hiexpo> igoryonya_, in home folder pdf
[04:09] <dukz> is SuperGrub2Disk different from SuperGrubDisk?
[04:09] <skreet> dukz: The former is probably GRUB v2.
[04:09] <skreet> which is what 10.04 uses by default (I think??)
