[08:29] <bc81> hi.  i'm having some trouble with chromium-browser.  it keeps saying "The Flash plug-in was blocked because it is out of date." when i go to the abobe site to update, i choose "APT for Ubuntu 9.04 +".  when it goes to install, it says "Flash plugin already installed" (or something similar.  my question is, how do i keep this plug-in up to date, once and for all?
[08:30] <pooltable> litropy i see it
[08:30] <pooltable> litropy how do i read it
[08:30] <starwiz> bc81, check the update manager? System>Administration>Update Manager
[08:30] <pooltable> litropy how do i make a pic of it to send to you?
[08:31] <ohsix> is there a top-like utility that can output this sort of information? (this is from powertop, but it does not provide the information often enough) http://paste.ubuntu.com/596827/
[08:33] <bc81> starwiz: hi.  yea i just updated a while ago, and there was an update for chromium-browser, but nothing for flash and i still get the "plugin out of date" message
[08:34] <starwiz> bc81, try removing it and reinstalling
[08:34] <bc81> starwiz: ok, the browser or flash?
[08:34] <sara2010> any one have my answer
[08:34] <sara2010> ?
[08:34] <starwiz> bc81: I'd say flash. But both wouldn't hurt.
[08:34] <starwiz> But make sure you install flash while chrome is installed
[08:34] <bc81> starwiz: ok, i'll try it

[08:55] <test_user> i have a quick question if i have an older version of ubuntu, do i have to download cd for version 11 when it comes out?
[08:55] <DJones> test_user: You can upgrade via the internet which will download the updates for you
[08:55] <DJones> !upgrade | test_user
[08:58] <mithran> thanks a lot iceroot..
[08:58] <DJones> test_user: Which version of Ubuntu do you have, you need to bear in mind that you have to upgrade version by version, so if you're using say 9.10, you'd need to upgrade to 10.04, then 10.10 etc, however if you've got 8.04 which is a long term support version you can upgrade direct to 10.04 which was the next LTS version

[09:20] <ilyekkakai> I have a problem with audio file playback (all formats - mp3, ogg, etc.). When I try to play a file with rhythmbox or totem, the whole system gets sluggish and the mouse pointer jerks about the screen and there is no sound... UNTIL I move the scrubber along a second, then playback is normal and the mouse pointer and system retruns to normal speed... How do I fix this?
[09:23] <ilyekkakai> also, VLC does not have the same problem I am getting with the other music players...
[09:25] <theos> hi! i have a sub-woofer in my laptop. how can i check if its working or not? i was here yesterday too. got some help. alsa isnt detecting it
[09:26] <ilyekkakai> HELP! Audio playback does not start unless I move the scrubber and then everything is normal. Does anyone else experience this?

[09:30] <Antonis> or prevent it from starting?
[09:30] <c987> Antonis remove it from startup list ?
[09:30] <gaizhi> who?
[09:30] <Antonis> c987, I run ubuntu 10.10 and I don't want the gnome-panel (upper panel) to start when I log in to ubuntu
[09:30] <c987> install kde :P
[09:30] <Antonis> lol no thanks :P
[09:31] <gaizhi> so many people
[09:31] <c987> im using kde but newer editions are alot slower but still usable
[09:31] <MaRk-I> Antonis: right-click select "remove this panel"?
[09:32] <luigi> dfd
[09:33] <Antonis> MaRk-I, that doesn't work with gnome-panel only on extra panels :\
[09:33] <Antonis> "Delete this panel" is disabled on the upper panel
[09:35] <c987> find its name and delete anyfolder wit similar name ie :  rm *gnomepanel*  -s -q :P
[09:36] <c987> or  better go to apt or whatewer pkgmanager and remove gnome and anything about it , then reinstall it
[09:37] <Antonis> c987, I don't want to break the whole gnome-desktop just prevent the panel from starting.. it really should be a better solution than that :\
[09:37] <theos> hi! i have a sub-woofer in my laptop. how can i check if its working or not? i was here yesterday too. got some help. alsa isnt detecting it
[09:37] <ilyekkakai> theos.. scrubber/slider/the thingy that shows the progress of the song being played.

[09:38] <MaRk-I> Antonis:  http://wawan-kurniawan.web.id/how-to-remove-gnome-panel-in-ubuntu-10-10/
[09:38] <c987> Antonis: what is this gnome panel hate for ayway ? if you like gnome you hawe to like its panel too   :P
[09:38] <theos> ilyekkakai, try this "speaker-test -c6 -l1 -twav"
[09:39] <Antonis> c987, lol I love the panel and don't hate it at all, I just replaced it with AWN and it only takes space right now
[09:39] <azm> does vlc have custom font size for subtitles please ?

[09:40] <pingveno> I'm trying to write a script that tests building some Arch Linux packages in 4 VM's on my laptop, which runs Ubuntu. I'm trying to decide which VM software to run. KVM and VirtualBox come to mind, but others may do.
[09:40] <pingveno> Suggestions?
[09:40] <ilyekkakai> theos, speakertest works fine.
[09:40] <c987> use ubuntu on livecd or cdimageonhd verisons :P
[09:41] <theos> ilyekkakai, good then. what problem do you have now?
[09:41] <c987> they are faster and better then any vm afaik.
[09:41] <pingveno> c987: Is that directed at me?
[09:42] <c987> pingveno  :P
[09:42] <ilyekkakai> same problem as when I came in here.. no audio will play at all in Rhythmbox or totem until I move the scrubber. If I do not move the scrubber there is silence and the whole system becomes sluggish and the mouse point moves around the screen in slow jerks
[09:42] <pingveno> I can't test building Arch packages on an Ubuntu system...
[09:42] <pingveno> Kinda difficult. :P
[09:43] <c987> qemu works fine on any stable or  pkg-rich  linuz
[09:43] <pingveno> And scriptable?
[09:43] <c987> like what type of scritps ?
[09:44] <ilyekkakai> I have to leave for work now, but I will leave the chat window open.
[09:44] <ilyekkakai> If anyone knows how to fix my problem please leave me a message.
[09:44] <pingveno> Snapshot, run something inside of the VM, shutdown VM, restore to snapshot
[09:44] <ilyekkakai> My audio problem is in maverick 10.10 with Rhythmbox and totem movie player, but not VLC. Audio will not play in those players AT ALL unless I move the scrubber along a bit.......
[09:45] <c987> qemu has some command line options but im not sure about interactive commands .
[09:45] <administrator> yyy]
[09:45] <administrator> 下班了
[09:45] <pingveno> administrator: wrong window?
[09:46] <Antonis> thanks for helping guys!
[09:46] <c987> VirtualBox too works on ubuntu and i guess it supports what you said .
[09:46] <MaRk-I> Antonis: that worked?
[09:47] <Antonis> yeah I will log out now to see what happens when I log back in :P
[09:47] <Antonis> brb
[09:47] <c987> there is a list of them http://byrev.org/bookmarks/top-7-virtualization-software/
[09:47] <MaRk-I> ok
[09:47] <pingveno> I've used VirtualBox quite a bit before. Nice piece of software.
[09:48] <anon1984_> it turns out that evil command does cripple systems
[09:48] <pingveno> One of my few complaints about VirtualBox: It's difficult to clone a machine.
[09:48] <pingveno> machine/VM

[09:54] <anon1984_> ok derious question here, anyone know why my g73 would freeze after the win7 login screen after booting live installation media? happens every time even if i don't make changes to my drives.
[09:55] <c987> anon1984 : low battettery ? slov cpu / slow hd ? bad operating system kernel ?
[09:55] <c987> anon1984 : one or multiple of those imao :P
[09:58] <anon1984_> doubt it, it's always plugged in, i7 720 cpu and unsure if hdd is 5200 or 7200 rpm but that shouldnt affect it, model was only released last year, tried multiple distros (boot from livecd) and have installed ubuntu a few times so different kernels throughout the distros. just makes win7 freeze :\
[09:59] <anon1984_> doesn't freeze if ubuntu is running though
[10:00] <anon1984_> would run ubuntu only but I use it for gaming and the sound drivers for it are horrible, can't get the built in sub to work at all in *buntu

[10:10] <anon1984_> will test xp when i manage to image my win7 installation again, gotta image it before even booting a distro so i can restore it. win7 runs great until i boot a distro. have dual booted on plenty of other machines without the issue
[10:10] <cavej03> ok and I have one other question, how can i add  a service to automatically start on boot "service dvbhdhomerun-utils start" is the service
[10:10] <mehdi> hey guys can u introduce me a good video  convertor?
[10:11] <galaxyAbstractor> I found the libqt4-declarative_4.7.0-0ubuntu2~lucid1~ppa1_amd64.deb, but that requires a whole lot of dependencies too
[10:11] <runa> because you are trying to move directory to itself
[10:11] <galaxyAbstractor> is there some way I could download everything automatically and install them all at once?
[10:11] <jozefk> do we have pdfimages command in liveCD?
[10:11] <MaRk-I> cavej03: not sure on that, System >Preferences> startup applications  ?
[10:11] <galaxyAbstractor> I bet that if I get one of the new dependencies, I'll get even more dependencies to hunt down
[10:12] <cavej03> MaRk-I, Ok thanks heaps, I shouldn't be so lazy and google it just been setting up xbmc with pvr support and that took a lot of brain power LOL
[10:12] <iflema> anon1984_: try poweroff and back on *NOT* resart = same result ?!?!?!?

[10:15] <anon1984_> actually have to give that a try after doing a system image, would try booting a nix distro right now but I have about 100GB of steam games i need to backup, what's the power off and power on thing do? clear partitions or something?
[10:15] <anon1984_> wait, have had to hard power off from the lockup before and it still freezes after login
[10:17] <anon1984_> not before as in today but the last time i ran live installation media or dual booted

[10:37] <theos> hi! i have a sub-woofer in my laptop. how can i check if its working or not? i was here yesterday too. got some help. alsa isnt detecting it
[10:37] <theos> or is there any way to not use alsa and use pulseaudio only?
[10:38] <MaRk-I> pulseaudio runs on top of alsa
[10:39] <gnb> I edited /etc/motd. What should I restart for the changes to take effect?
[10:39] <theos> :(
[10:39] <raven_> 10.10 where is the pulseaudio manager?
[10:43] <MaRk-I> raven_: press alt+F2   type paman
[10:44] <root> hi
[10:47] <theos> halp with subwoofer? :(
[10:49] <tuhin> theos: what happened to subwoofer
[10:49] <theos> tuhin, how to test if its working or not?
[10:49] <tuhin> which tool/packages r the BEST in keeping laptop cool? (throttle down to 400-600 MHz) In windows i used notebook hardware control which can throttle down to 130Mhz
[10:50] <tuhin> play music in stereo and surround mode
[10:50] <theos> tuhin, how? how to just get output from woofer only?
[10:51] <tuhin> use equalizer in any music player software and turn down all mid to highg frequency
[10:51] <tuhin> 500 Hz and up +turn down
[10:52] <tuhin> less than 500 Hz = tur up and see
[10:52] <tuhin> turn*
[10:52] <theos> hmm i tried but other speakers are sounding too
[10:53] <Oppe> Hello, can i install php5.2.* by using commands like yum or apt-get etc. ? I tried and they always install the php5.3.* version. any clue?
[10:54] <tuhin> theos: u should hear bass loud if u set eqalizer that way
[10:54] <ikonia> Oppe: 5.3 is the default ubuntu version
[10:54] <theos> tuhin, yes i hear bass loud. but its coming out of other speakers
[10:54] <tuhin> ikonia:  which tool/packages r the BEST in keeping laptop cool? (throttle down to 400-600 MHz) In windows i used notebook hardware control which can throttle down to 130Mhz
[10:55] <ikonia> tuhin: no idea
[10:55] <tuhin> then turn down all EQ from 150Hz and upwards
[10:55] <Oppe> ikonia: is there way to change that? cause several of my software don't work on 5.3
[10:55] <tuhin> 150Hz to 20 KHz= turn down eq
[10:56] <ikonia> Oppe: it will depend on the version of ubuntu you're using, but I doubt there will be 5.2 packages for modern versions, which ubuntu version are you using ?
[10:56] <Camer0n> hello, how do I defrag a windows drive in ubuntu?
[10:57] <theos> tuhin, you can install cpufreq-selector. and control the cpu frequency with a shell script the way i do
[10:57] <Camer0n> *or windows partition
[10:58] <researcher123> do we have a online meeting software for Ubuntu?
[10:58] <tuhin> theos: cant find  cpufreq-selector in synaptic
[10:58] <theos> tuhin, you can take my script if you want. need to install some stuff before that
[10:58] <Oppe> ikonia: 2.6.35-28-generic (10.10 maverick)
[10:59] <tuhin> theos: tell me what i have to do
[10:59] <ikonia> Oppe: let me see if I can find anything
[10:59] <theos> tuhin, just a min
[10:59] <freaky[t]> hm, what is a good alternative to ubuntu?
[11:00] <Camer0n> anyone?
[11:00] <theos> !ot | freaky[t]
[11:00] <Camer0n> how do I defrag a windows drive or partition in ubuntu?
[11:01] <ikonia> Camer0n: you don't
[11:01] <Camer0n> oh?
[11:01] <theos> i dont think ubuntu needs defraging
[11:01] <Camer0n> I was told you could
[11:01] <ikonia> Camer0n: you sholdn't
[11:01] <Camer0n> hmm
[11:01] <Camer0n> well i'll have to go and boot back into windows, bye!
[11:01] <Camer0n> Thanks!!
[11:02] <theos> tuhin, this is the man page. but i forgot how i installed it. http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/intrepid/man1/cpufreq-selector.1.html

[11:03] <tuhin> theos: run /exec -o inxi
[11:03] <theos> why
[11:03] <tuhin> so see ur CPu
[11:04] <ikonia> Oppe: can't find any official packages maybe a 3rd party package exists though
[11:04] <tuhin> so i can see ur cpu*
[11:04] <theos> i think that package is already installed. try using terminal and typing cpufreq=selector
[11:05] <tuhin> Failed to acquire org.gnome.CPUFreqSelector: Connection ":1.61" is not allowed to own the service "org.gnome.CPUFreqSelector" due to security policies in the configuration file
[11:05] <MaRk-I> tuhin: right-click the panel select "add to panel", search for cpu scaling monitor
[11:06] <tuhin> i installed cpufreqd (2.4.2-1) libapm1 (3.2.2-14) sleepd (2.01)  yesterday and now my cpu is always at full 2GHz
[11:06] <researcher123> is there a web conferencing tool for Ubuntu users?
[11:06] <tuhin> MaRk-I: CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor 2.30.0 is no longer working
[11:06] <tuhin> its running at fixed 2Ghz
[11:07] <theos> tuhin, i think your command /exec -o inxi fusked it up :/ because mine is broked too
[11:07] <MaRk-I> tuhin: you right click the icon and select preferences, or just click and select the desired cpu speed
[11:07] <tuhin> i have that added in panel for months
[11:07] <tuhin> it used to go at 1Ghz  when i select power save
[11:08] <Toiletbowl> :)
[11:08] <tuhin> but now it  alwasy runs at 2Ghz
[11:08] <theos> what does /exec -o inxi do?
[11:08] <tuhin>  i installed cpufreqd (2.4.2-1) libapm1 (3.2.2-14) sleepd (2.01)  yesterday and now my cpu is always at full 2GHz

[11:08] <kNightWolf> Is there a way to restore files if you deleted them accidentally?
[11:09] <theos> doesnt work for me. and it borked the cpufreq-selector :/
[11:09] <theos> kNightWolf, see in trash can or install testdisk to recover
[11:09] <tuhin> ok , u can run  inxi in terminal and see
[11:09] <tuhin> theos: what cpu u have?
[11:09] <Oppe> ikonia: thx
[11:10] <theos> tuhin, p8800
[11:11] <tuhin> P8800 cpu ? what is that
[11:13] <phoenixsampras> maverick = 10.10 ?
[11:14] <Ben64> !maverick
[11:14] <tuhin> yes
[11:15] <victor__> Hi, is there an official guideline for compiling a customized kernel?
[11:15] <_zoom_> hi, what is the name of rtp lib?
[11:15] <theos> *sigh* i updated and now freq selector aint working
[11:17] <victor_____> Hi. Is there an official guideline for compiling a customized kernel?
[11:17] <tuhin> theos: what does is ur cpu in "system monitor" > System tab?
[11:18] <theos> tuhin, i have p8800 processor
[11:20] <tuhin> ok its a Core 2 Duo notebook cpu
[11:20] <tuhin> mine is  Core Duo T2500 2GHz
[11:20] <theos> o
[11:21] <_zoom_> victor_____: make menuconfig
[11:21] <tuhin> how low ur cpu can run theos ??
[11:22] <theos> tuhin, till 800mhz. my script controls it. i have sensors to measure the temp pf both cores
[11:22] <tuhin> my 2GHz couldnt go below 1GHz while    CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor  were working
[11:23] <Semjase> Hi. can somebody help me with blocking persistent attacks and monitoring on my pc. i alredy shifted to ubuntu 10.10 but the monitoring still persists. pls. help
[11:23] <theos> Semjase, how do you think you are being monitored? which way
[11:23] <tuhin> theos:  CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor and Cpufreq selector both made by same guy
[11:24] <xmaz> Semjase: change your ssh port to a 4 digit number, it helps
[11:24] <victor_____> _zoom_: make menuconfig make: *** No rule to make target `menuconfig'.  Stop.
[11:24] <Semjase> theos, the guy keeps on closing my browser and turning the ubuntu and pc off all the time
[11:24] <xmaz> you probably have vnc installed?
[11:25] <theos> Semjase, you have a remote controller intalled
[11:25] <_zoom_1> victor_____: cd /usr/src/kernel-sources
[11:25] <_zoom_1> then make menuconfig
[11:25] <Semjase> does a linksys router help block the attacks? cos i am already under a router but the attacks doesnt stop :(
[11:25] <Semjase> theos, what is a remote controller?
[11:25] <theos> Semjase, its not an attack i guess.
[11:25] <xmaz> semjase: this arent atacks, you have enabled a remote controller, you need to disable that
[11:25] <Toiletbowl> semjase limit the ack, flags etc etc
[11:25] <theos> hmm remote screen viewing
[11:26] <syrinx_> Toiletbowl: ...
[11:26] <Semjase> how do i disable remote controll
[11:26] <victor_____> _zoom_1: there is no such directory.
[11:26] <_zoom_1> victor_____: you didnt download sources from kernel.org
[11:26] <_zoom_1> ?
[11:26] <theos> Semjase, whose pc is it? did you install a remote desktop controlling software like teamviewer?
[11:27] <devtop> Hello
[11:27] <Toiletbowl> the problem teamviers use port 443
[11:27] <Semjase> theos, i didnt installed teamviewer
[11:27] <theos> Semjase, you can see what apps are running in the processes tab of system monitor
[11:27] <Semjase> i installed wine but i only installed yahoo messenger to run it
[11:28] <Semjase> i dont know when this monitoring will end. it annoys me and my privacy is at stake
[11:28] <victor_____> _zoom_1: Is kernel-compiling a real dangerous task? Can i fall back to the old kernel it something goes wrong?
[11:28] <theos> Semjase, you probably have a remote desktop viewing software installed on your system
[11:29] <Semjase> semjase, like what? i just recently reformatted my pc to ubuntu 10.10 but it didnt stop still
[11:29] <Toiletbowl> semjase in windows u can monitor using netstat but i think in linux tcpdump im not sure
[11:29] <theos> Semjase, go to menu>internet> and see if there is a software which you didnt install
[11:29] <kkc> Hi
[11:30] <Semjase> i think i had a remote desktop controlling in my ubuntu i noticed it a while ago
[11:30] <Semjase> but does it come with ubuntu 10.10?
[11:30] <theos> Semjase, yes it does. but it has to be configured before it can be used. looks like someone else configured it . you can open it and stop sharing
[11:30] <Semjase> i didnt install anything except docky and chrome but i didnt install remote desktop.
[11:31] <Semjase> theos, like how was it configured? i was the only one using my pc
[11:32] <theos> Semjase, your friend or family member used it while you werent there? behind your back maybe. else your pc has rootkits. did you buy a used pc?
[11:32] <Semjase> if it wasnt me who configured and im 1000% sure i was the only one using my pc.
[11:32] <Semjase> my pc is new
[11:32] <Toiletbowl> i think someone using bootnet here my router automatically ban this IP <IP_ADDRESS>
[11:32] <Semjase> and i installed ubuntu yesterday and just now still the monitoring doesnd stop
[11:33] <theos> Semjase, what makes you think that its being monitored? any error msgs or notices?
[11:33] <nerker> How do I disable the firewall in ubuntu 10.10
[11:34] <Semjase> theos, i watched a random youtube video and suddenly my chrome browser just dissappeared then he opens it again then when i watch video he redirects the youtube to another video etc
[11:34] <F_S> All greetings! Help with such problem, I do multiseat on ubuntu 10.04 with usage ConsoleKit... in log  "WARNING: Failed to acquire org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit
[11:34] <F_S> WARNING: Could not acquire name; bailing out"  How to solve a problem? Somebody faced the such?
[11:34] <tuhin> Semjase: go to Menu>Preference>Remote Desktop and Disable the 1st option
[11:35]  * Toiletbowl slaps Semjase around a bit with a large trout
[11:36] <valium> hey all - can anyone recommend a command line tool that can accurately check the disk health of a *USB* connected disk?  (other than smartmontools)
[11:37] <kesor> If i install Xfce or others will i still be able to choose to GNOME at login screen?
[11:37] <valium> kesor - yes
[11:37] <kesor> cool
[11:37] <kesor> thx
[11:41] <CarlFK> hp laptop, getting pretty hot - how do I turn all the fans to max?
[11:42] <tuhin> CarlFK: maybe u r looking for throttling down the cpu to keep it cool
[11:42] <CarlFK> tuhin: that would make me sad
[11:42] <inner> Hi, i unfortunately forget the command, but anyone knows which command show the nicklist in the irssi?
[11:43] <tuhin> why CarlFK ? making the fan alwasy run full speed will kill the fans
[11:43] <tuhin> 2 laptop fans died on me!!! its costly to replace laptop fans
[11:43] <Nakkel> Im installing 10.10 and the installer hangs on keyboard selection, is there any way to force it to continue or do I just retry from start?
[11:44] <Toiletbowl> how many years that laptop?
[11:44] <hal> what is the difference between the kernel parameters, acpi=off and noacpi please?
[11:46] <CarlFK> tuhin: im encoding some videos - I don't mind maxing the fans for a bit - I don't do it that often
[11:46] <CarlFK> my guess is they are maxed now - I just want to make sure
[11:47] <CarlFK> tuhin: what kind of laptop?
[11:47] <tuhin> Lenovo T60p
[11:48] <bullgard4>  /var/log/kern.log: "ath5k phy0: failed to warm reset the MAC Chip." /var/log/kern.log: "ath5k phy0: can't reset hardware (-5)".  -- Do I need to care?
[11:48] <tuhin> 2 fans died in Thinkpad T42
[11:48] <Toiletbowl> do u check inside so dusty?
[11:48] <theos> its bad to make use of full processing power or your cores. use the minimum you can to increase its life
[11:48] <tuhin> T60p fans didn't die , but i m fearing they will fail
[11:49] <theos> of*
[11:49] <bullgard4> Nakkel: I would retry from start.
[11:52] <Bundestrojaner> hello
[11:52] <Bundestrojaner> has anyone here ever tried ubuntu or debian on android-phones?
[11:53] <Diamondcite> You might be limited in some of your application choices since Android phones use ARM processors instead of x86 compatible ones.
[11:54] <bullgard4> Bundestrojaner: Some people in #ubuntu-de-offtopic did it.
[11:54] <PhoenixSTF> Bundestrojaner, well ubuntu...no but debian has got a version for phones and small devices
[11:55] <andycc> Bundestrojaner, I recall you can install Ubuntu on some HTC phones (Rhodium?)
[11:55] <Diamondcite> For that matter.. I don't think Ubuntu HAS an ARM version.
[11:55] <andycc> (not Android phones, WM ones)
[11:55] <Bundestrojaner> i have a few questions how it works...
[11:55] <Bundestrojaner> first, is debian/ubuntu using the android-kernel?
[11:56] <Bundestrojaner> or an own kernel running on the htc-phones
[11:56] <andycc> Bundestrojaner, I believe #htc-linux is a better place to ask this...
[11:57] <Toiletbowl> androis is uding UNIX dude
[11:57] <PhoenixSTF> Bundestrojaner, what you want is this http://www.emdebian.org/
[11:57] <PhoenixSTF> Bundestrojaner, enjoy :)
[11:58] <burntoto> guys, i d like ot install Xnest... which package is it?
[11:58] <Bundestrojaner> andycc: thx! i really searched for an IRC-channel but pidgin's search in roomlists is really retarded :(
[11:58] <theos> :)
[11:58] <Bundestrojaner> so i asked in the biggest linux-channels
[11:58] <Bundestrojaner> thx for help guys :)
[11:58] <andycc> burntoto: I hear Xephyr is recommended over Xnest.
[11:59] <DJones> Bundestrojaner: Thee are things like this on youtube as well showing a nexus one running ubuntu http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xN4c61ETCWg
[11:59] <Toiletbowl> anyone here using beta ? hows the performance?
[11:59] <andycc> burntoto, anyway, Xnest is provided by the "xnest" package.
[12:00] <Bundestrojaner> it's very nice it's possible to run linux on phones :)
[12:00] <Bundestrojaner> my big hope was Symbian with QT-support, but they deal with the devil now^^
[12:00] <burntoto> andycc, ok great
[12:01] <burntoto> i ll try both
[12:01] <ajah> i want ot install vlc-player on my other machine (running on ubuntu ) but the machine is has not i-net connection can someone tell me how to do that
[12:02] <Bundestrojaner> ajah: there's a possibility to create a wget-script
[12:02] <ilyekkakai> HELP! Audio playback does not start unless I move the scrubber and then everything is normal. Does anyone else experience this?
[12:02] <ilyekkakai> My audio problem is in maverick 10.10 with Rhythmbox and totem movie player, but not VLC. Audio will not play in those players AT ALL unless I move the scrubber along a bit.......
[12:02] <Bundestrojaner> run it on the machine with inet-connection and you'll get all needed packages
[12:03] <MaRk-I> !offline | ajah
[12:03] <ajah> Bundestrojaner, how to create this wget-script
[12:03] <burntoto> andycc, /usr/bin/X11/Xnest -query computer-node-name -geometry 1280x1024 :1     what should i put in computer-node-name?
[12:04] <Bundestrojaner> i think it was a parameter of apt-get
[12:04] <Bundestrojaner> i don't remember exactly
[12:04] <vak> hi all
[12:04] <vak> Does mdadm really double read performance for RAID1 ?
[12:05] <Bundestrojaner> ajah: maybe the guis also provide that function, if not check man apt-get
[12:05] <andycc> burntoto, no idea, I never used that option.
[12:06] <exs> hi
[12:06] <exs> can u say me when gnome 3 is released in ubuntu?
[12:07] <andycc> !gnome3 | exs
[12:07] <exs> iam wating
[12:07] <andycc> Er.
[12:07] <andycc> !natty | exs
[12:08] <exs> andycc: ok thank you. when is ubuntu 11.04 stable?
[12:08] <yuskhanzab> April 28 2011
[12:08] <theos> any way i can check if my subwoofer is working or not?
[12:08] <dcorbin_wk> On Ubuntu 9, which file specifies the X server?
[12:09] <milligan> Does the ubuntu live-cd automatically shut down after x minutes inactive? I had a session running backing up some data from a windows disk .. and when I come back, the machine has shut down (the window says eject disc etc. Hitting return shuts down).
[12:10] <milligan> If so is the case, how can I disable the shutdown feature?
[12:10] <CarlFK> ajah: on a net connected box, synaptic package manager, select vlc, file, generate package download script
[12:10] <linux> hello
[12:11] <exs> but does ubuntu 11.04 integrates gnome 3? cause i dont see any information about that
[12:11] <MaRk-I> exs: ask in #ubuntu+1
[12:11] <ajah> CarlFK, i`ve already do this but the file is 10kb?
[12:11] <Barzogh> exs no it does not
[12:12] <CptAnon> Who here thinks linux is going to beat windows?
[12:12] <linux> he
[12:12] <exs> Barzogh: lol that was my first question. i want to get to know when ubuntu integrates gnome 3
[12:12] <linux> hello
[12:12] <LjL> !ot | CptAnon
[12:12] <exs> !gnome
[12:12] <Barzogh> in the future version exs
[12:12] <exs> !gnome3
[12:12] <linux>  i dont know
[12:12] <LjL> exs: it doesn't
[12:13] <exs> but when?
[12:13] <LjL> exs: there is a GNOME 3 PPA i believe, but it's dangerous to use i also believe
[12:13] <ajah> CarlFK, 104 bytes how can be this package of vlc?
[12:13] <exs> i thoug gnome3 is stable yet
[12:13] <teemo> cool, i just got a triple boot system setup :) windows, mac sl, ubuntu
[12:13] <LjL> exs: maybe, but that doesn't mean the Ubuntu packaging for it is stable
[12:13] <CarlFK> ajah: it is a script to get the files you need.  look at it, it will make sense
[12:14] <teemo> all booting with grub2, now t customize my grub2 boot screen :)
[12:14] <ajah> CarlFK, aaa my mistake i saw wget ...
[12:15] <theos> its weird how any one can get ubuntu as a nick :/
[12:16] <qiang> ghgh
[12:16] <theos> !cn | qiang
[12:16] <qiang> heh
[12:17] <theos> :)
[12:17] <tuhin> where can i find a linux kernel guru?
[12:17] <theos> anybody halp me with the subwoofer :(
[12:17] <erUSUL> !anyone | tuhin
[12:17] <theos> LFE does sound. but i dont think its coming out of the woofer
[12:18] <ilyekkakai> I have a problem with audio file playback (all formats - mp3, ogg, etc.). When I try to play a file with rhythmbox or totem, the whole system gets sluggish and the mouse pointer jerks about the screen and there is no sound... UNTIL I move the scrubber along a second, then playback is normal and the mouse pointer and system retruns to normal speed... How do I fix this?
[12:18] <bullgard4>  /var/log/kern.log: "ath5k phy0: failed to warm reset the MAC Chip." /var/log/kern.log: "ath5k phy0: can't reset hardware (-5)".  -- Do I need to care?
[12:19] <tuhin> how to make the .35 kernel use speed step-centrino power saving ?
[12:20] <erUSUL> bullgard4: hard to tell may be a kernel bug or a buggy bios... you can try newer drivers --> « sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-wireless-$(lsb_release -cs)-generic »
[12:20] <coz_> tuhin,   mmm you got me on that one... not sure
[12:20] <coz_> tuhin,  however,,, if no one here knows  you could also try the ##linux channel
[12:20] <bullgard4> ilyekkakai: This should reflect in /var/log/syslog.
[12:20] <tuhin> ok
[12:21] <coz_> ilyekkakai,  you already have all of the codecs installed... yes?
[12:21] <zoza> hello anyone know how to get visualboyadvance working
[12:21] <coz_> zoza,  first i will have to google that one
[12:22] <zoza> seems like theres sound issues...
[12:22] <ilyekkakai> coz_, yes. Once the audio starts, playback is normal.... And VLC shows no signs of the problem at all.
[12:22] <bullgard4> erUSUL: Until 8 days ago I had no wireless problems. I do not know I will have them now. I did not carry this computer with me since to another wireless location.
[12:22] <coz_> ilyekkakai,  mm thats odd... I havent tried rhythmbox on natty yet
[12:23] <erUSUL> ilyekkakai: nothing in dmesg after the problem occurs?
[12:23] <ilyekkakai> bullgard4, there is a lot of stuff in the syslog about audio but it all means nothing to me.
[12:24] <erUSUL> tuhin: "cat /proc/cpuinfo" and "sudo cpufreq-info"  output may be of help
[12:24] <erUSUL> !paste | tuhin
[12:24] <coz_> zoza,  which version is this?
[12:24] <bullgard4> ilyekkakai: Using Linux means learning every day something new.
[12:24] <korsakoff_> Hi all, i'm a completely noob of ubuntu and still trying to install ubuntu on a computer's friend. There is any channel i can join in order to ask for help?
[12:24] <erUSUL> korsakoff_: this one
[12:24] <korsakoff_> cool :)
[12:24] <zoza> coz_, 1.8.0
[12:25] <zoza> from the repos
[12:25] <tonysan> How do I change the "taskbar" position to the bottom in 11.04?
[12:25] <iceroot> korsakoff_: what is the current problem?
[12:25] <iceroot> tonysan: #ubuntu+1
[12:25] <bazhang> tonysan, #ubuntu+1 please
[12:25] <coz_> zoza,  mm  then I am not sure ,,, I dont even know  , other than google,, where to go for support with this
[12:26] <tonysan> thanks, joining
[12:27] <ilyekkakai> erUSUL, I see lots of meaningless gibberish in dmesg when I initiate the problem.
[12:27] <korsakoff_> my problem is i'm trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 on a notebook, but when tryng it gets black. The installation CD is ok 'coz i've tried on my own pc and it's work. So i figured out it's because of the video card (is a via chrome9)
[12:27] <erUSUL> ilyekkakai: well the last 50 lines or so after you suffered the problem could be enough
[12:28] <erUSUL> ilyekkakai: "dmesg | tail -n50"
[12:28] <tuhin> erUSUL: http://paste.ubuntu.com/596881/
[12:30] <ajah> i`m using wicd instead network but i have problem joining wireless networks (can`t assign me ip ) so can anyone tell me how to join wireless network from terminal
[12:30] <korsakoff_> i read on forums that with the alternate CD i could be able to install ubuntu and then to install the drivers. But i'm not quite sure this is the solution and if shouldn't work there would be no coming back
[12:30] <ajah> network managet*
[12:30] <ajah> network manager*
[12:30] <bluethundr_>  /msg nickserv identify localG30rg3T0wn
[12:30] <erUSUL> tuhin: well for some odd reason the cpufreq system thinks that it can only work at 2 GHZ even one there are other freqs aviable ...
[12:31] <erUSUL> tuhin: maybe some config in the bios?
[12:31] <tuhin> noo
[12:31] <tuhin> i installed some packages to better power save
[12:31] <MaRk-I> bluethundr_: you should do that in the server window instead
[12:31] <tuhin> and now its alwasy runnign at 2GHz :(
[12:32] <bluethundr_> heh .. yep accidental space caused a security breach
[12:32] <erUSUL> tuhin: it says available frequency steps: 2.00 GHz, 1.67 GHz, 1.33 GHz, 1000 MHz but then it says "current policy: frequency should be within 2.00 GHz and 2.00 GHz."
[12:32] <erUSUL> tuhin: weird... i would try with the ondemand governor
[12:32] <zib_> whats this
[12:32] <terry> ilyekkakai: Try running top, (maybe from a ssh session from another machine), while reproducing the problem, and see what is hogging up resources.
[12:32] <tuhin> CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor 2.30 is not working :(
[12:33] <korsakoff_> no one? :)
[12:33] <giu> hi korsakoff_
[12:33] <tuhin> those packages broke ondemand (which i used to use most time and Powersaving)
[12:33] <korsakoff_> hi giu
[12:33] <erUSUL> tuhin: sudo cpufreq-set --governor ondemand
[12:33] <erUSUL> tuhin: or using the cpugreq applet
[12:34] <erUSUL> tuhin: uninstall it then
[12:34] <tuhin> erUSUL: how to restart pm applet?
[12:34] <tuhin> i uninstalled the packages which broke it
[12:34] <erUSUL> FYI it works here
[12:34] <ilyekkakai> erUSUL, I checked the tail of dmesg before and after making the problem occur, and there was no change in dmesg.
[12:35] <erUSUL> tuhin: use the command line tool then
[12:35] <erUSUL> ilyekkakai: :/
[12:35] <erUSUL> ilyekkakai: so still we have not clue of what is happening ...
[12:35] <ilyekkakai> terry,  what is "top"?
[12:35] <tuhin> that command didnt work
[12:35] <erUSUL> tuhin: it did not change the governor used?
[12:35] <tuhin> nop
[12:35] <erUSUL> tuhin: check cpufreq-info output
[12:36] <terry> ilyekkakai: top is an application that display Linux tasks
[12:36] <tuhin>   current policy: frequency should be within 2.00 GHz and 2.00 GHz.
[12:36] <terry> ilyekkakai: and tells how many cpu cycles are used by each task.  It puts the high users at top.
[12:37] <terry> ilyekkakai: Run top and see what it does.
[12:37] <qiang> hello
[12:37] <python> It does nothing
[12:37] <terry> ilyekkakai: recreate the problem and note the change in real time.
[12:38] <erUSUL> tuhin: so freq scaling worked at some point; you installed some packages and stooped working?
[12:38] <tuhin> yes
[12:39] <tuhin> i installed laptop-mode-tools
[12:39] <terry> ilyekkakai: If the system becomes un-responsive, it would be best to have top running from another PC.
[12:40] <erUSUL> tuhin: only that?
[12:40] <ilyekkakai> terry, like running system monitor but from a different PC? I have another PC. Is top in the repos?
[12:40] <tuhin> that thing removes suspend and hybernet
[12:40] <tuhin> so i removed laptop mode tools
[12:40] <terry> ilyekkakai: Probably already installed.
[12:41] <tuhin> but cpu governor was still working
[12:41] <tuhin> then removed laptop mode tools and installed "cpufreqd , libapm1 , sleepd"  then cpu governor stopped working
[12:41] <tuhin> by cpu governor i mean = CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor 2.30
[12:41] <erUSUL> tuhin: remove cpufreqd
[12:42] <ilyekkakai> terry, ok.. looks like it is. How do I make it display what the other computer is doing?
[12:42] <erUSUL> tuhin: provably the culprit
[12:42] <erUSUL> tuhin: probably the culprit
[12:42] <tuhin> i removed those 3 today
[12:42] <tuhin> installed pm-utils
[12:42] <tuhin> and suspend+hybernate is back
[12:42] <tuhin> but cpu governor is broke
[12:43] <erUSUL> tuhin: acpid ?
[12:43] <tuhin> acpid is installed
[12:43] <terry> ilyekkakai: ssh  into the effected machine, run top, return to the effected machine, start vlc or what ever it takes to re-create the problem, go to other pc's monitor and note the change.
[12:43] <De|ta> hi guys, why might an hd not spin down after hdparm -y /dev/sda1 ? drive is a samsung spinpoint F1 with an NTFS partition on it
[12:43] <tuhin> acpi-support is installed too
[12:43] <erUSUL> tuhin: i checked better not remove that one
[12:44] <ilyekkakai> terry, ok.
[12:44] <leiminghao> hello
[12:44] <tuhin> ok
[12:44] <theos> i also have cpufreq-selector stopped :/
[12:44] <leiminghao> i.m a newer
[12:44] <theos> leiminghao, hi! do you need any help related to ubuntu?
[12:45] <leiminghao> is everyone want to chat wth me?

[12:46] <bazhang> !minimal > m1aris
[12:46] <leiminghao> i want to make the desp beautifull
[12:46] <dcorbin_wk> Is it possible to change the keystrokes used to switch virtual terminals?
[12:46] <leiminghao> what should i do
[12:47] <bazhang> !themes | leiminghao
[12:47] <erUSUL> dcorbin_wk: no; afaik
[12:47] <tuhin> erUSUL: 2000000
[12:48] <leiminghao> thanks
[12:48] <m1aris> ubottu: Thanx, i'll have a look, i hope it's a graphical install
[12:48] <bazhang> m1aris, the minimal iso? its not
[12:48] <loc0> how can i make money from ubuntu ?
[12:49] <Math081> Hello I would like to install ubuntu on a hp d1 3135(screen of 11' and 4 gb),
[12:49] <teemo> so startup manager no longer has an appearance tab, is there something that replaced it for grub2?
[12:49] <coz_> Math081,  should work
[12:49] <KM0201> Math081: ok..?
[12:49] <erUSUL> tuhin: well i dunno what happened; you kernel seems to think that the minnimal freq it can use it is 2 GHz. i dunno why or what makes it think that
[12:50] <theos> erUSUL, mine too
[12:50] <Math081> Would I choose netbook or desktop version I would like to install ubuntu studio package after, thanks.
[12:50] <theos> i upgraded and it happened
[12:50] <tuhin> maybe i need to restart erUSUL
[12:50] <KM0201> Math081: youc an put the studio package on either one.. personally, i prefer the desktop version.. i think the netbook interface is bad for netbooks (to cluttered)... why not boot them both and try each, and see what you think
[12:50] <erUSUL> tuhin: or for that matter what any of that packages could have done to change aperfectly working system to fail now :/
[12:51] <coz_> MatBoy,  I would go with th e default desktop version... even on 11" screen it should be  nice to work with,, however,, this is a decision you have to make  according to you work habits
[12:51] <m1aris> bazhang: I'd like a graphical install with package selection if any. I do not think i can install from text.
[12:52] <tuhin> lets hope the reboot fixes any kernel confusion erUSUL
[12:52] <KM0201> m1aris: why do you think you can't install from text?
[12:52] <Math081> good idea, thanks for your reply and have nice day;-)
[12:52] <theos> hi! how can i test if my subwoofer is working or not?

[12:58] <popy> theos,  have you tried alsamixer ?
[12:58] <theos> popy, yes, the LFE should be seen in alsamixer but its not :/
[12:58] <theos> i think subwoofer is called LFE donno
[12:59] <ilyekkakai> should I upgrade my other PC from lucid to maverick and see if that screws up the audio playback too the same as on this machine?
[13:00] <m1aris> I have a connection problem. 'Device not managed'.
[13:00] <sadf> does anyone know which ppa to use for vlc 1.1.9 ?
[13:01] <erUSUL> m1aris: which device?
[13:01] <m1aris> eth0, my adsl connection
[13:01] <kpettit> Anybody know of a good card to do HDMI input into Ubuntu?
[13:01] <kpettit> I have a HDMI dvr that I'd like to watch from Ubuntu
[13:01] <theos> m1aris, try ifconfig and see if its listed there
[13:02] <erUSUL> m1aris: does « grep "eth0" /etc/network/interfaces » give any output?
[13:02] <m1aris> It's listed. address, broadcast and mask.
[13:03] <mehmetali> Hi. could low hdd performance increase ksoftirqd usage?
[13:03] <rafi_> Hi guys can you help me please , i want to extract archive files , it shows password when i wrote password but it shows password again
[13:03] <erUSUL> m1aris: if you use  /etc/network/interfaces then network manager will not manage it
[13:03] <theos> rafi_, looks like your password is wrong
[13:03] <m1aris> erUSUL: i don't understand much, must i type that on terminal?
[13:04] <erUSUL> m1aris: they are two mutually exclusive methods or managing network connections
[13:04] <erUSUL> m1aris: yes
[13:04] <rafi_> @theos  if its wrong how can i open the my computer , or is it different password from computer
[13:05] <theos> rafi_, what kind of password do you need? maybe its a file password and not your system password :P
[13:05] <rafi_> oh i see how can i change that sir ?
[13:05] <m1aris> erUSUL: I had the networkmanager, but now displays that message.
[13:05] <Oday> in the window manager, im getting this http://imgur.com/8dgSJ
[13:06] <Oday> while i want all the places to show up after one another in tabs
[13:06] <rafi_> @ theos archive password
[13:06] <DannyButterman> Hi there. I have a brand new mitsumi USB floppy that I need ubuntu to automount, the same way internal flopyy drives are. What can I do ?
[13:06] <theos> rafi_, some people add password to their archives like zip or rar to protect unauthorized access. you cant change the pass. and you cant open the file unless you have the right password
[13:06] <m1aris> erUSUL: The ouput is auto eth0, iface eth0 inet static
[13:06] <ilyekkakai> I have a problem with audio file playback (all formats - mp3, ogg, etc.). When I try to play a file with rhythmbox or totem, the whole system gets sluggish and the mouse pointer jerks about the screen and there is no sound at all... UNTIL I drag the playback slider along with the mouse for a second, then playback is normal and the mouse pointer and system returns to normal speed... How do I fix this?
[13:06] <theos> rafi_, what file is it? from where did you get it?
[13:06] <erUSUL> m1aris: the command i gave you give some output? (yes/no)
[13:06] <erUSUL> m1aris: ok so it is yes.
[13:06] <rafi_> rar files
[13:06] <erUSUL> m1aris: if you use  /etc/network/interfaces then network manager will not manage it they are two mutually exclusive methods or managing network connections
[13:07] <erUSUL> m1aris: you can not use both
[13:07] <rafi_> @ theos it was on torrent
[13:07] <andycc> Oday, what's the issue again?
[13:07] <theos> rafi_, what is the extension? torrent files with a pass have a .txt inside which tell you how to get the pass
[13:08] <andycc> I can't seem to find anything wrong there.
[13:08] <red> Where should I start troubleshooting: I uninstalled Firefox 3.6 and installed Firefox 4 using their PPA and added icon to my launcher, but when I click it, the system just seems to load for a moment and nothing happends.
[13:08] <m1aris> erUSUL: It's like use one manager. What happened, i downloaded another manager and messed up my connection. How do i fix that now?
[13:08] <DannyButterman> USB floppy drive recognition anyone ?
[13:08] <rafi_> theos  .rar
[13:09] <red> if I start it from command line with firefox-4.0 it works
[13:09] <erUSUL> m1aris: if you want to use Network manager just remove the lines that configure eth0 from /etc/network/interfaces
[13:09] <theos> rafi_, look if you can open the rar and if you can see the list of files. must be a .txt file to guide you how to get the pass
[13:10] <rafi_> @theos  i couldnt open the rar because of password
[13:10] <rafi_> @theos my english is not good also
[13:10] <theos> rafi_, then you cant open the rar. you need to find the right pass
[13:11] <terry> ilyekkakai: Did top reveal any application that used and excessivly high percentage of cpu cycles?
[13:11] <ilyekkakai> terry, top shows this... http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/596903/ if that helps at all....
[13:11] <rafi_> @theos is that any possibility to change or  delete password
[13:11] <ilyekkakai> terry, pulse audio.
[13:11] <theos> rafi_, no. whats the name of the file?
[13:12] <terry> ilyekkakai: Yep pulseaudio  - 93%
[13:13] <rafi_> @ theos  , i didnt understand.. its .rar  so i couldnt open it
[13:13] <Oday> andycc: in the window manager, im getting this http://imgur.com/8dgSJ while i want all the places to show up after one another in tabs
[13:13] <theos> rafi_, oh. you need rar opening software first
[13:14] <terry> ilyekkakai: Are you using 10.04 or 10.01 or..?
[13:14] <LetsGo67> Hello everyone!  Why is Ubuntu setup so slow and unresponsive?  No activity lights are blinking for CD/HDD/802.11G.  Only the mouse cursor is animated.  Can someone help please?
[13:14] <rafi_> @theos ok i ll check it
[13:14] <ilyekkakai> terry, 10.10 maverick
[13:14] <andycc> Oday, okay, I saw that, but what exactly are you getting in the window manager? I don't see anything wrong in that shot.
[13:14] <rafi_> @theos  thank you very much sir , have a nice day
[13:14] <terry> ilyekkakai: http://jechem.blogspot.com/2010/10/how-to-remove-pulseaudio-on-ubuntu-1010.html
[13:14] <theos> rafi_, try sudo apt-get install rar
[13:15] <Oday> andycc:  i want the places to show up in tabs so i can click on one and get where i want to go, instead of editing the path
[13:15] <m1aris> erUSUL: That is fixed now. Many thanx. There is a way to manually add a static address instead of DHCP. I prefer that, but how do i do that?
[13:15] <terry> ilyekkakai: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/03/how-to-switch-to-alsa-or-oss-instead-of.html
[13:15] <theos> rafi_, open terminal and type that command
[13:15] <terry> ilyekkakai: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9202903
[13:16] <rafi_> @theos its already installed thats what its shows
[13:16] <andycc> Oday, hit esc to hide the bar, middle-click to open a location/place in a new tab.
[13:16] <jjp> Hi. A friend of mine, historically MacOS and NetBSD user, looks for a netbook to use with Ubuntu now that his MacBook at long last died. Any suggestion of good netbook for Ubuntu, suitable for such a user ?
[13:17] <theos> rafi_, so you need the password now. go to the website from where you downloaded the torrent. it should say something about the password
[13:17] <Sahm> LetsGo67, What you mean with (Ubuntu setup) .. is that in the Live-CD!
[13:17] <rafi_> theos ok buddy thank you very much
[13:17] <theos> your welcome :)
[13:18] <Oday> not what i meant, andycc. if you go to Places in your ubuntu and press ctrl + l, it will show the Location just like i have in the picture, and ctrl + l again it will go back to showing the path in seperate boxes
[13:18] <DannyButterman> How can I make ubuntu opening a floppy disk upon double click on a floppy drive icon, given it's a USB floppy drive ?
[13:20] <rockhopper> Hi, How to automount a drive in ubuntu 11.04?
[13:20] <andycc> Oday, I think I have a mental illness, because I can't see what you want to do.
[13:20] <cookiesunshinex> This is going to sound really basic, but how can I tell what filesystem my ubuntu server is using.  I want to see if it is XFS or EXT3
[13:20] <Pici> rockhopper : Natty/11.04 is not yet released. Please join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion.
[13:21] <wooter> cookiesunshinex, sudo fdisk -l
[13:21] <rockhopper> Pici: ok thanks
[13:21] <jjp> Any suggestion of good netbook for Ubuntu ?
[13:21] <terry> jjp: Can you elaborate just a bit?
[13:21] <Sahm> jjp, Dell.
[13:22] <wooter> cookiesunshinex, actually just type mount
[13:22] <terry> jjp: never mind. sorry
[13:22] <cookiesunshinex> wooter thanks.  That did it!
[13:22] <DannyButterman> jjp: Asus eeepc 1005HA
[13:23] <jjp> terry, Sahm: just a netbook with nicely supported hardware, a keyboard for normal people, something polished with the hardware quality of a MAC
[13:23] <jjp> DannyButterman: Thanks
[13:24] <DannyButterman> jjp: don't know what it's like with 10.04+ but works flawlessly with 9.04
[13:24] <jjp> Sahm: Are there still Dell laptop / netbook with serial adapter (userful for us to act on network appliances)
[13:24] <LetsGo67> Sahm: Yes.
[13:24] <terry> jjp: You'll be hard pressed to find the quality of a MAC.  That is the one thing you can honestly say about MAC is that they have quality hardware.
[13:25] <jjp> terry: Yeah, that's the real challenge, actually, to find no non-sense hardware
[13:25] <LetsGo67> terry: Mac, not MAC.
[13:25] <KM0201> jjp: build your own, no questions then.. :)
[13:25] <terry> LetsGo67: Thanks. I stand corrected. (Mac is not an acronym :)
[13:25] <KM0201> !rootirc
[13:26] <jjp> KM0201: thank you so much, I honestly tried but I broke my CMS prepare board
[13:26] <InvaderZim> i can't mount an internal disk on dolphin without it asking for password. and i have policykit-desktop-privileges installed. can anyone help?
[13:26] <ilyekkakai> terry, completely removed pulseaudio and replaced with alsa... the problem has disappeared. pulseaudio must be the culprit somehow.
[13:27] <KM0201> jjp: prepare board?   building is not that difficult.. just take your time, buy quality stuff... i'ev not bought a store bought PC in 12yrs.
[13:27] <terry> ilyekkakai: yep
[13:27] <Sahm> LetsGo67, You mentioned something about (Ubuntu Setup) , i was trying to have a clue.
[13:27] <terry> ilyekkakai: Well, it is not always a problem, but it sometimes does encounter problems.
[13:28] <jjp> KM0201: I'm looking for a netbook / laptop, not a workstation.

[13:36] <joj> 11.04
[13:37] <LetsGo67> joj: But will it do like 1GB of updates, or is it mostly there?
[13:37] <[TK]D-Fender> Hemophiliacs shouldn't use bleeding edge releases...

[13:38] <LetsGo67> Hello noble people!  Will Ubuntu download a lot of updates when it is stable?  Or will there be fewer updates?
[13:38] <LetsGo67> There are keys in my icon tray!  Why?  i can't delete them!  Why not?
[13:38] <Ben64> theres an update whenever there is a security issue
[13:40] <[TK]D-Fender> LetsGo67: Should disappear automatically
[13:40] <ruan> how do i hold a package back from updates permanently?
[13:41] <[TK]D-Fender> key = ign that some process was given root privs
[13:41] <[TK]D-Fender> (updates, etc)
[13:41] <[TK]D-Fender> sign*
[13:41] <LetsGo67> [TK]D-Fender: It's not going away
[13:41] <zvacet> ruan: in synaptic find packages you dont want to upgrade and then in package tab> lock version
[13:42] <[TK]D-Fender> LetsGo67: perhaps a process is blocked... check your tasks

[13:52] <dnivra> hello. I'm trying to recursively download a website-it's a set of qt tutorials from doc.qt.nokia.com. I do it as "wget --recursive --no-parent <file>" and every file gets downloaded. The problem is that it only file gets downloaded and nothing else. I'm able to download recursively from another website but not from this. what is wrong?
[13:52] <DamienX> How do i set a static IP so it stays that way each boot please?
[13:52] <dnivra> and I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 BTW>
[13:53] <dnivra> DamienX: Adding settings to /etc/network/interfaces
[13:53] <SpongeBob_Square> hallo
[13:53] <SpongeBob_Square> can i ask something
[13:53] <dnivra> DamienX: this should help you -> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-set-a-static-ip-address-in-ubuntu-810-intrepid-ibex.html. and this too -> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/change-ubuntu-system-from-dhcp-to-a-static-ip-address.html.
[13:54] <dnivra> !ask | SpongeBob_Square
 yes...
[13:54] <gde33> _|pegasus|_: weclome to irc >..<
[13:54] <tuhin> erUSUL: reboot fixed my cpu problem
[13:54] <SpongeBob_Square> can ubuntu run Internet explorer 7.0
[13:54] <SpongeBob_Square> ?
[13:54] <tuhin> now it runs at 1GHz when i set power save
 why do that?
[13:54] <_|pegasus|_> gde33: That's an answer.......
[13:55] <dnivra> SpongeBob_Square: yeah seems like a weird thing to do. wine will make it run I guess.
[13:55] <mbeierl> SpongeBob_Square: using wine, a fair amount of Windows programs can be run
[13:55] <mbeierl> !wine | SpongeBob_Square
[13:56] <popey> SpongeBob_Square: http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page
[13:56] <gde33> _|pegasus|_: It makes me feel close to you
[13:56] <SpongeBob_Square> mozilla doesnt support evry ie plug-in
[13:56] <mbeierl> SpongeBob_Square: also look for a package called winetricks.  iircm it can help set up IE
[13:57] <_|pegasus|_> gde33: Simply keep that sh... on your pc and don't try to infect others. They should throw you outta here
[13:57] <SpongeBob_Square> example active X file
[13:57] <mbeierl> SpongeBob_Square: IE plugins might be Windows specific and therefore might not be able to run under Linux.   BTW: You are the only one that tried it - what about that?!
[13:59] <mbeierl> Stefanos90: while I might agree with the absurdity of using IE, there are reasons such as testing web page layout for compatibility...
[13:59] <ruan> that's the only valid reason
[13:59] <gde33> _|pegasus|_: maybe you can try go to #KVIrc
[13:59] <SpongeBob_Square> but some website need to use ie
[14:00] <ruan> firefox views all websites fine here
[14:00] <SpongeBob_Square> to open page
[14:00] <ruan> every single website i've been to works with firefox
[14:00] <ruan> give me an example
[14:01] <mbeierl> SpongeBob_Square: that is unfortunately true.  Although it is become more rare.
[14:01] <mbeierl> ruan: I don't have an example right now, but I have hit the occasional one that would not open even on a mac...
[14:01] <[TK]D-Fender> ruan: Ton's of banks, gov't agency sites etc run ACTIVE-X plugins.  Firefox != ActiveX
[14:01] <mbeierl> SpongeBob_Square: please do be sure not to confuse the plug in requirement with the browser.
[14:01] <[TK]D-Fender> ruan: There is still tons of it around.
[14:02] <ruan> hmm. local banks all work without firefox here
[14:02] <SpongeBob_Square> yup
[14:02] <ruan> with
[14:02] <mbeierl> SpongeBob_Square: for an example, Netflix will open with Safari, Firefox or IE, but not on Linux due to Silverlight
[14:02] <[TK]D-Fender> ruan: large numbers don't
[14:03] <SpongeBob_Square> i'm new and still learn how to use linux
[14:03] <theos> anyone can help me figure out if subwoofer is working or not?
[14:03] <mbeierl> SpongeBob_Square: so it might not be that IE is required, but rather a copyrighted plug in is.  and there is very little than can be done about some of those
[14:04] <ruan> what happens if i lock a metapackage's version?
[14:05] <mbeierl> SpongeBob_Square: and being new makes it all the more confusing.  welcome to the overwhelming amount of education there is to be had when you join an open source channel!
[14:05] <mbeierl> theos: still no luck on the sub, eh?  I'm out of ideas, but thought I'd sympathize for a moment...
[14:06] <theos> mbeierl, its almost 1 year now :( no luck
[14:07] <itch_> Hello guys. I`m on Lucid 10.04.2 x64 and some packages (libpurple0) have unmet dependencies - which prevents me from updating, which, in turn, prevents me from running pidgin. What exactly is the solution in this scenario ?
[14:09] <bullgard4> seahorse = "Passwords and Encryption Keys" > Other Keys stores remote public gpg keys. Associated to them is a normal key icon. But I have another 2 keys there having an additonal emblem "terminal". These 2 have no Property data in their context menu. What kind of keys are that?
[14:11] <Pici> itch_: Can you pastebin the message that you're getting?
[14:12] <itch_> Pici: Sure, one moment please

[14:15] <fairuz> Hi, How to generate a configure file if I have a configure.in file? with autoconf?
[14:15] <Pici> itch_: Okay, how about: apt-cache policy libpurple0

[14:16] <itch_> Pici: do you also want the pastebin from that ?

[14:19] <ethanol> I'm on maverick and I want to upgrade to natty, what is the best way to do this?
[14:19] <Pici> itch_: It looks like the version that you're trying to install is coming from getdeb, and they require a newer version of perl than we normally have in our repositories.  Actually... you're using a version that looks like it was intended for maverick.
[14:19] <Pici> ethanol: see the topic in #ubuntu+1
[14:19] <ethanol> cheers
[14:20] <itch_> Pici: commenting out the getdeb line from repos will do the trick?
[14:20] <Pici> itch_: Yes.
[14:21] <itch_> Pici: indeed, it works. Thank you kindly for your assistance
[14:22] <Pici> itch_: you're welcome

[14:30] <Nepherius> I have 2 hds , how do I install grub on the second one ?

[14:32] <Nepherius> ^^
[14:32] <gaelfx> ok, I think I have a really fun one here
[14:32] <]-[unter> so about the x220 lenovo....can i run ubuntu on it and still use it to take notes in tablet mode?
[14:33] <gaelfx> I've downloaded the iso, and I want to mount it in windows and install it (full install) to a usb (because I'm using a netbook w/o cd-drive), is it possible?
[14:33] <Nepherius> If i select the second hdd in bios it just stays frozen right before grub should load , how do i make it load grub ??
[14:33] <bazhang> gaelfx, sure. unetbootin.sourceforge.net
[14:34] <c987-1> how do i make it load grub ?? .. hmm...
[14:34] <gaelfx> bazhang: for full install? I don't want a liveusb
[14:34] <c987-1> how about installing it ?
[14:34] <ruan> i experienced that when grub was installed on the other drive
[14:34] <bazhang> gaelfx, it functions as both
[14:34] <Linuks83> i have an issue on my lenovo r61i where when using the quick buttons to turn up the volume, pulse audio seems to be limiting the max audio level quite a bit. i can go into the sound properties and turn up the sound manually with no problem and the sound level is higher than the seemingly arbitrary limit. it's a bit annoying because i want to be able to use the volume buttons on the laptop and not manually adjust the levels everytime i want it loud again. any
[14:34] <Linuks83> one have any idea on how to change the artificial limit?
[14:34] <gaelfx> bazhang: ok, I'll give it a go I guess
[14:35] <ruan> c987-1: is grub installed on that drive?
[14:35] <ruan> because its not detecting
[14:35] <Nepherius> my mbr is messed up i got 2 hdds , first with win ( i am going to format that one ) and the other one with linux.If i change bios to load the second hdd it doesnt find a grub..
[14:35] <c987-1>  ruan : that's Nepherius
[14:35] <Nepherius> So how do i install it there on the second hdd not on the first one ?
[14:35] <c987-1> 's guestion
[14:36] <c987-1> :P
[14:36] <ruan> oh
[14:36] <gaelfx> bazhang: I assume you mean that by using persistence, it's the same as doing a full install to a usb?
[14:36] <c987-1> on 2hds im able to install  8 real os plus  lot more livecds or linuzes :D
[14:36] <Matr|x> hi

[14:57] <Laurenceb_> 'printer may not be connected to the network'
[14:57] <YankDownUnder> Laurenceb_, Um...did you look at the link above, or have you tried to browse the printer through the printer administration utility?
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> Laurenceb_: if you select to find a networtk printer then type the IP and hit probe, it should find it
[14:57] <Laurenceb_> yes, the second one of those
[14:57] <Laurenceb_> ok, trying

[14:59] <ruan> _ProGammer: try "killall gnome-panel" in a terminal
[15:00] <ruan> i've had gnome-panel stop working twice before
[15:02] <c987-1> ruan; thanks but  im not going to buy allready packed pc. ill buy only the graphics card so i need to know if the chip made by ie nvida/ati/intel has drivers for linux .
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> Laurenceb_: whatever it wants, just click next then give it (or specify) the driver/model
[15:03] <c987-1> ruan; the list on link looks like about laptos or prepacked pcs .
[15:03] <ashish_> c987-1: Nvidia supples drivers for graphic cards
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> c987-1: nvidia rocks :)
[15:03] <c987-1> ashish_; so does ati/amd do the some  ? :P
[15:04] <mutante> looking for a repository that gives me php5-gd, but not the regular package (when it was still its own project), but the new one, that is part of PHP and supports imagerotate()
[15:04] <Laurenceb_> hmm ive resetup the printer... ity might be working
[15:04] <Laurenceb_> doing its tedious warm up/calibrate cycle as we speak
[15:04] <mutante> 8.04.4 LTS
[15:04] <ruan> !8.04
[15:04] <ZykoticK9> c987-1, while I have historically been a strong Nvidia support - if you want "free" (as in freedom) drivers Intel is by far the best, followed by Nouveau and AMD/ATI in last place... something to consider.
[15:04] <ashish_> c987-1: afaik yes
[15:05] <user82> hey guys, got a problem: on my netbook the buttons in the installation window are below my screen and the virtual desktops are horizontal...is there any change i can change it?
[15:05] <mutante> ubottu: heh, but it's not May 12 yet ;)
[15:05] <user82> its the installation cd so no gnome panel applet to change it
[15:05] <xangua> user82: preess alt while draging the window
[15:05] <c987-1> im also guessing if ati has support for physics processing on gpu like nvidia.
[15:05] <Laurenceb_> ActionParsnip: seems the postscript driver was changed
[15:05] <ActionParsnip> mutante: hardy desktop support dies when natty is released
[15:06] <mutante> it's not my decision when and if this one is upgraded
[15:06] <ActionParsnip> Laurenceb_: possibly due to updates.Could log a bug
[15:06] <ActionParsnip> mutante: just a friendly fyi, chill
[15:06] <c987-1> i headr that ati too working on gpus that can be used as cpu aswell. :D  and +1 cpu/gpu  looks better then a cpu+ gpu :P
[15:06] <cousteau> what happened with linux-image-rt after Lucid?
[15:06] <Laurenceb_> ActionParsnip: will see if it works now
[15:06] <ActionParsnip> mutante: after it is EOL you will get no updates and no help here or on the answer forum either, depends if you want support or not
[15:06] <Laurenceb_> as least its been woken up
[15:07] <ruan> very advised to upgrade to 10.04, a newer lts
[15:07] <user82> xangua, yet another hint i will use in the future. thanks
[15:07] <c987-1> but im not sure if the thing i read was about mobile processors :(
[15:07] <mutante> ok, giving up, thanks anyways
[15:07] <ActionParsnip> !find linux-image-rt
[15:08] <ActionParsnip> cousteau: seems its not in maverick but is in lucid
[15:08] <ActionParsnip> cousteau: not sure
[15:08] <cousteau> ActionParsnip, I know that... I wanted to know why
[15:08] <ndxtg> hi guys, long time no boot, but when I boot it just dipslay $grub-rescue>  does anyone know what is the fastest way to fix?
[15:08] <ActionParsnip> cousteau: websearching
[15:08] <rootManuva> I am running 10.04 and want to hard code the mac address of my router i.e  arp -s <IP_ADDRESS> my:mac:add
[15:08] <rootManuva> but I dont want to run this cmd each time
[15:09] <rootManuva> is there a setting to achieve this or a quick script i could write
[15:09] <ActionParsnip> cousteau: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/amd64/linux-image-rt
[15:09] <ActionParsnip> cousteau: click the arrow on the left to see details and you can make enquires
[15:10] <ActionParsnip> cousteau: Please remove the linux-meta-rt source and binaries packages from Maverick. It is totally unsupported and unmaintained.
[15:10] <ActionParsnip> cousteau: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta-rt/+bug/622583
[15:11] <ActionParsnip> rootManuva: could add it in /etc/rc.local  and it will run as root each time you bootup
[15:11] <raviepic3> people am connected to internet using wifi, but when i do ifconfig there is no such thing called wlan0 ! ? all i see is lo,eth0 and eth1
[15:11] <TomFarr> Can I install the IP cam like a normal cam for linux mashine?
[15:11] <raviepic3> how do i go about finding my interface name for wifi ?
[15:12] <ActionParsnip> raviepic3: sometimes wireless devices show as eth1
[15:12] <cousteau> so, basically, nobody was maintaining it
[15:12] <ActionParsnip> cousteau: pretty much afaics
[15:12] <Osmodivs> Why, when a patch comes out for X software does it has to download  200MB instead of the 100kb patch?
[15:12] <TomFarr> How I  can install the IP cam like a normal cam for linux mashine?
[15:12] <raven_> which tool for recording video/audio from webcam?
[15:12] <ActionParsnip> raven_: cheese I believe, or mplayer maybe
[15:12] <TomFarr> raven_: VLC?
[15:13] <ActionParsnip> TomFarr: do you mean use it as a webcam?
[15:13] <cousteau> that's sad, now I'll have to compile the kernel myself if I want a low-latency kernel. And since I've never successfully done that before, nor I have such a big interest in having an RT kernel, I'll probably never do it.
[15:13] <andycc> Osmodivs, because that's how apt and dpkg work, unfortunately. Unlike Fedora/SUSE, we don't have delta packages.
[15:13] <raviepic3> ActionParsnip, thank you
[15:14] <c987-1> i did kernle compiling suceffully 3 times afaik . on knoppix 5.3
[15:14] <raven_> TomFarr, ActionParsnip i need the video from webcam but the sound from a sound card
[15:14] <Osmodivs> andycc,  And why not implement the same system of  Non-Delta packages in Ubuntu too?
[15:14] <c987-1> but that took a lot time while collecting info and packages need :D
[15:14] <ActionParsnip> raven_: that I am not so good at, you coud use recordmydesktop perhaps
[15:15] <andycc> Osmodivs, you mean delta packages? Well, I have no idea, I'm curious too.
[15:15] <c987-1> since its a livecd its not easy to do the something again allway :P
[15:17] <bullgard4> seahorse = "Passwords and Encryption Keys" > Other Keys stores remote public gpg keys. Associated to them is a normal key icon. But I have another 2 keys there having an additonal emblem "terminal". These 2 have no Property data in their context menu. What kind of keys are that?
[15:17] <s0u][ight> hello, during the install of ubuntu server edition, the bootloader failed to install, i continued the installation and finished it, now i want to install the bootloader, how can i do this?
[15:17] <Osmodivs> andycc, Well, if Ubuntu needs to improve, the apt-get and dpkg need to be modify so everything works faster
[15:17] <Osmodivs> Anywho...
[15:17] <sadf> vlc 1.1.9
[15:17] <sadf> ??
[15:17] <ActionParsnip> s0u][ight: you can boot to live desktop cd and install it there
[15:17] <ActionParsnip> sadf: what of it?
[15:18] <sadf> any working ppa ?
[15:18] <cfedde> faster?  network issues?
[15:18] <andycc> Osmodivs, I doubt it's that easy. ^^
[15:18] <sadf> 'cause ferramberto is not working
[15:18] <c987-1> did anyone tryed creating a livecd from a installed ubunt ?
[15:18] <c987-1> what tools needed to do that ?
[15:18] <ActionParsnip> sadf: what is ferramberto?
[15:18] <sadf> lffl ppa...
[15:18] <sadf> easy install latest ppa
[15:19] <ActionParsnip> sadf: try giving FULL information and we won't need to clarify stuff
[15:19] <uabn93> which command can i use to check my wireless card?
[15:19] <s0u][ight> ActionParsnip: will it recognize my partitioning scheme?
[15:19] <ruan> uabn93: lspci
[15:19] <ActionParsnip> sadf: you can't expect us to be 1) mind readers and 2) know the name of every going PPA....can we?
[15:19] <sadf> there is ppa rep of ferramberto aka lffl which provides latest builds of vlc as deb installers
[15:19] <ActionParsnip> sadf: MUCH BETTER
[15:19] <sadf> so it aint working anymore
[15:19] <sadf> so any alternative
[15:19] <cfedde> uabn93: also iwconfig
[15:20] <ActionParsnip> uabn93: sudo lshw -C network
[15:20] <sadf> apart from n-muecnh
[15:20] <c987-1> is there a ubuntu for ppc devices ? arm4 or other arms ?
[15:20] <ActionParsnip> sadf: have you contacted the maintainers to see if they are working on it still?
[15:20] <sadf> 'cause it breaks the ffmpeg module :(
[15:20] <raven_> what is the dev name from pulseaudio recording device?
[15:20] <sadf> the issue is it shows upped on the ppa sie on launchpad...but it doesnt update on update-manager
[15:21] <sadf> it doesnt even show :(
[15:21] <ActionParsnip> sadf: I'd contact the maintainer
[15:21] <ActionParsnip> sadf: also, which release are you using?
[15:21] <ActionParsnip> sadf: and do you intend to upgrade to natty?
[15:21] <sadf> currently latest provided by maverick updates
[15:21] <sadf> ie 1.1.4-5
[15:22] <sadf> or some version latest build by ubuntu provided
[15:22] <sadf> yeah
[15:22] <sadf> but still its a bug and it should be fixed right ?
[15:22] <ActionParsnip> sadf: ~n-muench ppa has it built succesfully 7 days ago
[15:22] <sadf> thats what i wrote earlier
[15:22] <sadf> it breaks the ffmpeg module
[15:22] <ActionParsnip> sadf: natty has 1.1.9 in the official repos
[15:23] <raven_> what is the dev name of pulseaudio recording device?
[15:23] <sadf> thereby rendering all other multimedia players useless !
[15:23] <sadf> but still its a bug and it should be fixed right ?
[15:23] <c987-1> raven_ psedu audio recording device ?
[15:23] <raven_> c987-1, anything like /dev/dsp
[15:24] <c987-1> you mean microphone ?
[15:24] <raven_> c987-1, soundcard inputs yes
[15:24] <c987-1> run it and try checking process manager
[15:24] <ActionParsnip> sadf: it's a 3rd party repo so will be a different bug menthod, still log it as usual and the dev may be contacted
[15:25] <gilson> oi
[15:25] <ActionParsnip> sadf: could just hang a while and wait
[15:25] <c987-1> raven_ ;ie  run audio recording app , and check the devices used by app.
[15:25] <mad_monk> when i use ausearch, how do i know what kind of access happened - means was it Read, Write or Append -
[15:25] <sadf> k
[15:25] <mad_monk> i do not see a perm_mask in the output of ausearch
[15:25] <anass> hello, I'm using ubuntu 11.04 beta2, and want to resize left side menu icons, how?
[15:26] <c987-1> there is more then one process manager apps for linux. some of them shows open devices too .
[15:26] <anass> hello, I'm using ubuntu 11.04 beta2, and want to resize left side menu icons, how?
[15:26] <MaRk-I> anass: ask in #ubuntu+1 for natty support
[15:26] <anass> @MaRk-I : ok, I'll, thank you very much!
[15:27] <MaRk-I> anass: yw
[15:30] <rocktop> what does this error mean kernel: Machine check events logged ?
[15:30] <uabn93> I checked my network device w/ command lspce and the output "Network controller: RaLink Device 5390" ..the thing is that in win7, it shows up as RaLink 2860 under add/remove programs. How can I be sure of which device I have?
[15:30] <Osmodivs> Does anyone knows how to use X11VCN? they say I can't use it because I have a Firewall, but I do not remember installing one. How do you turn it off in Ubuntu 10.10?
[15:30] <uRock> can anyone recommend a plug-n-play USB wireless device?
[15:30] <erUSUL> rocktop: does not look like an error...
[15:30] <ActionParsnip> uabn93: use what Linux shows it as
[15:30] <ActionParsnip> uRock: onces with intel chips are good, broadcom ones will work fine after you use the hardware driver app
[15:31] <ActionParsnip> !hcl | uRock
[15:31] <erUSUL> rocktop: maybe it just some ECC corrections or something completly normal
[15:31] <kish> hi.. I want to install ftpserver in ubuntu.. any help??
[15:31] <c987-1> Osmodivs ; all linux's come with built in firewalls in general . allmost anyone . some weak some are stronger ;P
[15:31] <rocktop> erUSUL: I have high load
[15:31] <shane4ubuntu> In Synaptic, I lock a package so that it won't upgrade, then in the command line, sudo apt-get upgrade wants to upgrade that package???  are they different apps?
[15:31] <Osmodivs> c987-1, How to disable them?
[15:32] <Sidewinder1> Try vsftpd it's in the repos.
[15:32] <erUSUL> Osmodivs: ubuntu does not enable firewall by default
[15:32] <ActionParsnip> kish: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FtpServer    and SFTP server is much better but if you only want access over LAN then ftp is great
[15:32] <c987-1> Osmodivs , i dont know :P that was the issue for mee to in the time for a ftp serving all the root-fs :P
[15:32] <izinucs> Osmodivs: however even with no enabled firewall.. all ports are blocked unless opened from outside
[15:33] <ActionParsnip> kish: http://www.wikihow.com/Set-up-an-FTP-Server-in-Ubuntu-Linux   or that
[15:33] <uabn93> ActionParsnip: maybe i should note that Linux also doesn't show the full description with device manager. windows seems to have more details. would that matter or should i still only use what linux has?
[15:33] <Osmodivs> izinucs, How do I open them from outside?
[15:33] <ActionParsnip> uabn93: could try both, it's free
[15:33] <MC8> Howdy; is there a package for Acrobat Reader around somewhere? Whatever free alternative that's currently installed doesn't display pages correctly (in the slightest)
[15:33] <izinucs> Osmodivs: firestarter is a firewall program you can use from inside to open the ports you need.
[15:33] <c987-1> yeah , some kind of kernel side firewall
[15:34] <uRock> The HCL only lists PCs not hardware
[15:34] <Osmodivs> izinucs, Firestarter, eh? I'll check it out
[15:34] <raido> MC8: apt-get install acroread
[15:34] <shane4ubuntu> is there no way to lock a package with apt-get?  I generally use cli to update and stuff??
[15:34] <izinucs> MC8: evince is built in for reading pdf.. you can also install acroread which is acrobat but it's slow to load and a resource hog..
[15:35] <MC8> Well, whatever I have now isn't showing any text in half of the pdf's I'm opening
[15:35] <uabn93> ActionParsnip: just making sure cause it looks like im gonna have to manually configure wifi on my laptop :(
[15:36] <ActionParsnip> MC8: you may need adobes reader
[15:36] <LordFDisk> uabn93, you can try "lspci -v   or lspci -vv" for more info same with lsusb
[15:36] <izinucs> MC8: there's lots of pdf readers.. xpdf is one that's popular and others.. check the repos
[15:36] <izinucs> MC8: hopefully you don't have corrupt pdf's
[15:37] <MC8> Well, https://www.justice.gov.uk/downloads/publications/statistics-and-data/hmps/noms-annual-rept-0910-addendum.pdf is showing blank pages with a few random lines and a couple of graphs
[15:37] <tomtiddly> hello everyone
[15:38] <Sidewinder1> Mornin' tom
[15:38] <izinucs> MC8: I get "This connection is untrusted" message..
[15:38] <tomtiddly> i have just started using xchat-gnome but it seems as though it don't give many options for change
[15:38] <bullgard4> seahorse = "Passwords and Encryption Keys" > Other Keys stores remote public gpg keys. Associated to them is a normal key icon. But I have another 2 keys there having an additonal emblem "terminal". These 2 have no Property data in their context menu. What kind of keys are that?
[15:39] <tomtiddly> hey Sidewinder1
[15:39] <ZykoticK9> MC8, if you want Adobe's version, add the partner repo then install acroread
[15:39] <kish> @ActionParsnip where to place the files that i want the clients to access.. the wiki asks to keep the files in ~/ftp.. but i dont see such a directory.. i also assume there should be some way by which we can tell the ftp server the location that can be accessed by clients..
[15:39] <ActionParsnip> bullgard4: if you open the files in a text editor are they full of nonesense?
[15:40] <Sidewinder1> tomtiddly: what options were you looking for?
[15:40] <tomtiddly> think i'll have another look in synaptic
[15:40] <ActionParsnip> kish: make the folder. If a user logs in as itself theyshould be jailed to their $HOME folder
[15:40] <izinucs> MC8: works fine here.. are you opening it direct from the site or downloading it first?
[15:40] <MC8> downloading first (because that's how chromium works)
[15:40] <tomtiddly> Well xchat-gnome just seems a little light on options is all
[15:41] <izinucs> MC8: same.. I don't have any issues viewing it at all.
[15:41] <kish> ActionParsnip: and how to make the clients access this ftp server??
[15:41] <bullgard4> ActionParsnip: I am speaking about entries in a Window, not about files.
[15:41] <MC8> Although Firefox is pretty borked as well http://www.chippy.ch/miscellany/BBC%20News%20-%20Home-Mozilla%20Firefox_019.png
[15:41] <josephnexus> hi all
[15:41] <ActionParsnip> kish: they connect to the hostname with a ftp client to port 21
[15:41] <josephnexus> isn't 11.04 supposed to be released today?
[15:42] <ActionParsnip> josephnexus: 28th
[15:42] <Pici> josephnexus: Not until the 28th.
[15:42] <Sidewinder1> !natty
[15:42] <theos> hi! how do i test my subwoofer?
[15:42] <bullgard4> josephnexus: No.
[15:42] <josephnexus> ah, I was week off
[15:42] <josephnexus> how disappointing for me :-(
[15:42] <josephnexus> oh well... i shall check on the 28th
[15:42] <c987-1> MC8; someone setup a broken font for firafoz . imao :P
[15:42] <Sidewinder1> I prefer LTS; Lucid is current
[15:43] <c987-1> that can happen with anything if you chose a broken/unsupported or unexisting font :P
[15:43] <c987-1> well. not anything :D
[15:44] <MC8> I probably have a few unsupported fonts, but not set up as default in Firefox etc
[15:44] <MC8> (er, where's the fonts dir?)
[15:44] <ActionParsnip> !fonts
[15:44] <theos> !woofer
[15:45] <ruan> !sound
[15:46] <c987-1> theos; check if drivers are installed. and if ok. make sure you can play a file that has audio. if you cant hear sound card or some chips are fired :P
[15:46] <kish> ActionParsnip: when i try to connect it asks for name... what should i give here??
[15:48] <theos> c987-1, how to check if drivers are installed? other speakers are working fine. just want to check if woofer is working or not
[15:48] <uabn93> LordFDisk: thanks, this gave way more details. My device is Ralink 5390. I just wonder why windows showed up as ralink 5960, wierd..
[15:48] <raven_> vlc: how doing audio visualization while video replay?
[15:49] <c987-1> theos ; others, you mean subwoofers that plugged on audio out jack ?
[15:49] <matt0> is there some package in ubuntu that controls all irc connectivity?  because any and all IRC clients are hard locking my machine
[15:49] <Gurke_> hi
[15:50] <theos> c987-1, other speakers are front, left, right etc
[15:50] <c987-1> theos; hmm.. so you cant hear only from center ?
[15:50] <c987-1> then this probably means some cables of wooffers are out of service :P
[15:50] <bullgard4> raven_: VLC > Menu > Audio > Visualizations
[15:50] <LordFDisk> uabn93,  np  glad to help =)
[15:51] <raven_> bullgard4, tnx
[15:51] <c987-1> or centerr woffers are wofferen because of high auidio imao :P
[15:51] <ActionParsnip> kish: the hostname of the system you setup the server on. You can find this out (if you don't know it) by going back to the server and running:  hostname
[15:51] <theos> c987-1, cant hear from LFE. or how to check if subwoofer is working?
[15:51] <Gurke_> ubuntu is very cool
[15:51] <Gurke_> c
[15:51] <virgo> indeed
[15:51] <MC8> oh, deleting broken fonts fixed everything :)
[15:52] <c987-1> if only center is not working , and left+right works . that means error in woffers or drivers. but 1st case is much more common.
[15:52] <Metallico> can anyone ping me, i think i am lagged?
[15:52] <kish> ActionParsnip: i mean after connecting to the server.. it's like username password.. i dint create any user account, so i dont know what to give if i want to login as anonymous
[15:53] <lionzw> is there a light, easy to use application that is capable of anylyzing traffic in real time and also write easy to read logs?
[15:53] <virgo> i want to join #python channel, and it redirects me to #python-unregistered and then i must register but it says that i am already registered
[15:53] <ActionParsnip> kish: use the username and password you log into ubuntu with
[15:53] <tommis> virgo, then you need to login
[15:53] <ActionParsnip> kish: the links I gave showed how to allow anonymous
[15:53] <kish> ActionParsnip: gr8... thanks a lot.. i'm able to login now :-)
[15:53] <ActionParsnip> kish: but anonymous gives no logging of whom did what action
[15:54] <c987-1> since the center woffer is using left+right in all 2+1 systems  this means 2d audio is there but chip did not compute the sum to center woffer .
[15:54] <red2kic> virgo: You haven't been identified -- Last seen  : Oct 30 13:14:53 2009 (1 year, 24 weeks, 5 days, 01:38:48 ago)
[15:54] <ActionParsnip> kish: again, ftp over lan is great and is quicker than sftp, but don't allow ftp over wan as the security in ftp is poor
[15:55] <c987-1> or chip did its work but cables did not do the work. or may be if its on 4+1> mode , driver may  be left at lov volume for center .
[15:55] <tomtiddly> i'm back!
[15:55] <virgo> where do i log in?
[15:56] <jatt> I have ext partitions but still btrfs is being loaded, how is this possible?
[15:56] <jatt> [ 7176.155289] Btrfs loaded
[15:56] <ActionParsnip> !register | virgo
[15:56] <red2kic> virgo: /msg nickserv identify <password>
[15:56] <c987-1> theos; but afaik center in general has no volume detting directly in most wofers .
[15:56] <tomtiddly> have now using xchat 2.8.8 and it has a lot more options to choose from when you configure xchat
[15:56] <bilgin_44> hello!
[15:56] <Gurke_> ubuntu is very cool
[15:56] <Pici> virgo: See #freenode if you need more help with registration or identifying.
[15:56] <ActionParsnip> virgo: if you have a password don't run the identify command in here in case you screw it up and we see your pass
[15:56] <red2kic> virgo: Clients can do that automatically. You just have to set it up first -- or do it manually every time you use IRC.

[16:00] <chipmenk> how to determine if my ubuntu is 32 or 64 bit
[16:00] <ZykoticK9> chipmenk, uname -a
[16:00] <red2kic> biggsjm: Ask in #conky -- See if that actually is a conky feature or just a wallpaper.
[16:00] <jatt> uname -m
[16:01] <ZykoticK9> chipmenk, jatt's suggestion is better
[16:01] <ActionParsnip> chipmenk: uname -m
[16:01] <ActionParsnip> chipmenk: i686 ==32bit     x86_64 == 64bit
[16:01] <Edler> is today the launch of 11.04 ?
[16:01] <ActionParsnip> Edler: 28th
[16:02] <ruan> yeah. exactly next week
[16:02] <gluon> how can i disable compiz on 10.10?
[16:02] <Edler> how is that, i'm going to ubuntu fest today and apparently they're gonna install them on our laptops
[16:02] <rocktop> any idea please ?
[16:02] <tjiggi_fo> rocktop, sounds like one of your memory sticks has gone bad. Try removing, clean the pins with alcohol and reinstall
[16:02] <chipmenk> thx fellas
[16:03] <red2kic> gluon: ALT+F2 --> "metacity --replace"
[16:03] <rocktop> tjiggi_fo: that is the reason I have high load ??
[16:03] <ZykoticK9> gluon, system / prefereances / appearance - visual effects tag - set it to none
[16:03] <ActionParsnip> Edler: then they are early. You should inform them
[16:03] <ActionParsnip> !natty | Edler
[16:03] <ruan> help. i cant open a port <1024 even as root
[16:03] <jatt> it's possible to install unity in Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS?
[16:04] <ActionParsnip> jatt: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/unity-a-lightweight-netbook-interface.html#more-5532
[16:04] <ruan> lightweight?....
[16:04] <itilious> is it ok to make a user with its home directory as "/var/www" for ftp use with webserver?
[16:04] <tjiggi_fo> rocktop, I'm referring to this: #MCA: MEMORY CONTROLLER RD_CHANNELunspecified_ERR#Transaction: Memory read error
[16:04] <jatt> ActionParsnip: thanks, do you know if there are any drawbacks with it?
[16:04] <itilious> is this a security risk to make the ftp user home folder that directory?
[16:04] <raido> itilious: sure
[16:05] <ActionParsnip> jatt: not sure, I use natty
[16:05] <pcpower> itilious: it's ok but probably better to just use an ftp server that can chroot a user to any directory
[16:05] <xxmmaann> i downloaded the driver and i want to install it
[16:05] <ActionParsnip> jatt: i use unity though, its ok
[16:05] <Delemas> All my servers are getting double welcome banners at ssh login. Anyone else seeing that?
[16:05] <rocktop> tjiggi_fo: so I need to contact my server provider to change the box ?
[16:05] <Edler> ah ok
[16:05] <ActionParsnip> jatt: not tried the ppa in lucid though
[16:05] <itilious> pcpower, forgive my n00b question, but what is chroot .vs chmod?
[16:05] <jatt> I see, what about gnome shell? It's also backported or only available for gnome 3?
[16:06] <ruan> help. i cant open a port <1024 even as root
[16:06] <tjiggi_fo> rocktop, just the memory sticks
[16:06] <ActionParsnip> Delemas: what is the output of:  lsb_release -d
[16:06] <itilious> does chroot give a user "part ownership" or something a of a directory?
[16:06] <ZykoticK9> itilious, chroot = change root - the location of root directory "/" it keeps users confined to a set directory
[16:06] <ruan> !chroot
[16:06] <Delemas> ActionParsnip, Description:    Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS
[16:06] <xxmmaann> but, is necessary to remove the existent driver first ?
[16:06] <nits_hunter> itilious: chroot is creating something like a sandbox to test-drive ur application where as chmod changes the permissions for a particular file/folder
[16:06] <ActionParsnip> Delemas: just connected to my lucid server, single banner. Have you modified yours at all?
[16:06] <Delemas> One of the double welcome banner is obviously stale...
[16:06] <ruan> is there a way i can remove the <1024 port restriction?
[16:07] <nits_hunter> !chroot | itilious
[16:07] <nits_hunter> !chmod | itilious
[16:07] <tjiggi_fo> rocktop, what's your service provider got to do with this?
[16:07] <itilious> !chown
[16:08] <Delemas> ActionParsnip, I wasn't thinking I had... It has the landscape client which gives package status. That's the only obvious change and I haven't customized it...
[16:08] <ruan> is there a way i can remove the <1024 port restriction?
[16:09] <ActionParsnip> ruan: on what?
[16:09] <ruan> ubuntu 10.10
[16:09] <itilious> pcpower, when you say ftp server that can chroot to any directory,,, do you mean like editing proftpd.conf "defaultRoot" ?
[16:10] <ruan> can't open a port <1024 even as root
[16:10] <ActionParsnip> ruan: have you configured iptables or used firestarter / guarddog to configure the inbuilt firewall before?
[16:10] <ruan> ActionParsnip: i have no firewall
[16:11] <ActionParsnip> ruan: then ALL the ports are open (but you DO have a firewall, its just told to let everything in)
[16:11] <ruan> then why does my application say that its unable to open the port?
[16:11] <ruan> running as root
[16:11] <ActionParsnip> ruan: which app?
[16:11] <ruan> linuxDC++
[16:12] <ActionParsnip> ruan: thats a really bad idea to run DC++ as root
[16:12] <ruan> argh. it can't open the port
[16:12] <ActionParsnip> ruan: maybe your router needs port forwarding setting up if your router doesn't support uPnP
[16:12] <ruan> im not using upnp
[16:13] <ruan> the ports are forwarded
[16:13] <ActionParsnip> ruan: sure but if your router doesn't support it, you will need to open the port on the router (not the system) to allow the data to flow. Half decent home grade routers can manage this automagically
[16:13] <ZykoticK9> ruan, could it be that something else (or another instance of DC) is already using the port?
[16:14] <ruan> possibly.. i'll kill the ssh server running on it
[16:14] <ActionParsnip> ruan: try a different port, based on why ZykoticK9 says :)
[16:14] <ruan> ok now it opens the port
[16:14] <ActionParsnip> bam!
[16:14] <ruan> i'm only able to run on one port because my isp restricts access to routers
[16:15] <ActionParsnip> ruan: shame
[16:15] <ruan> ssh server not working anyway.. nat probably not set up
[16:15] <ruan> only works locally
[16:16] <Sidewinder1> ruan: Who is your ISP? Wouldn't be Comcast by any chance?
[16:17] <ruan> nope
[16:17] <Sidewinder1> K
[16:17] <Delemas> ActionParsnip, very weird... A static copy of my motd got dumped in /etc/motd.tail yesterday at 11:08. Know if Ubuntu has an equivalent to rpm -qi package and the install date it lists?
[16:18] <Gurke_> hello i need help
[16:18] <LordFDisk> ruan,  you could try changing your router mac to the puters nic mac address. might fool your isp

[16:20] <lf4> I just installed 10.10 and was going to edit the menu.lst for grub but it doesn't exist in /boot/grub/. Where is it reading from?
[16:20] <Gurke_> is beta badd ??
[16:20] <Sidewinder1> !natty | Gurke_
[16:20] <ruan> Gurke_: for production systems, it's not a good idea
[16:20] <LordFDisk> ruan,  nope you have to have access to change it
[16:20] <ruan> Gurke_: however, it is released next week
[16:20] <ruan> LordFDisk: no use trying then..
[16:20] <Gurke_> ok but i cant wait 7 days because pc arrived today ;D)
[16:21] <phoenixsampras> how to get the package information (version, etc) from a repository?
[16:21] <ruan> you could install 10.10, and install natty 7 days after
[16:22] <rumpe1> phoenixsampras, apt-cache show packagename
[16:22] <user82> natty x64 1m boot time maverick x86 1m30s on my netbook....nice
[16:22] <Dreki> whats the best way to minimize a full screen game in ubuntu? i think i used to have an aplication that would do it but if i remember correctly its no longer in development.

[16:25] <ZykoticK9> phoenixsampras, see that !latest factoid, check for the version you want in a PPA

[16:27] <yrlnry> When I log in on my ubuntu box, it says "26 packages can be updated. 11 updates are security updates."  But running apt-get upgrade does not update anything.  What gives?
[16:28] <ruan> apt-get dist-upgrade? whats the difference
[16:28] <ZykoticK9> yrlnry, "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" should upgrade everything (this is what the GUI runs)
[16:28] <azeryu> hello there
[16:28] <thunderst> How to use ubuntu? I want to hear music.
[16:28] <Pici> !dist-upgrade | yrlnry ruan

[16:29] <securityxxxpert> Is there anyway to change the password to your root account if you forgot it and the home dir is encrypted?
[16:29] <azeryu> i just compile nagios from /usr/src/ but i don't know where to find the web root folder for nagios
[16:29] <yrlnry> ZykoticK9:  I tried that also but it said it would only upgrade 3 packages.
[16:29] <dyllan> guys is there a way to lockdown or remove the Main Menu app under Preferences?
[16:29] <ruan> dyllan: remove main menu from the menu?
[16:29] <ZykoticK9> yrlnry, i'm guessing you are probably using 3rd party repos then.  Best of luck.
[16:29] <shyamgai> Hi, aplay -l works with sudo (root) perms, but not for a normal user.
[16:29] <yrlnry> securityxxxpert:  boot from CD.  mount the root volume.  edit /etc/shadow manually.
[16:29] <ruan> dyllan: ...using main menu
[16:29] <yrlnry> ZykoticK9:  why so?
[16:30] <dyllan> ruan, Under System/Preferences there is a Main Menu option that lets u add/remove things to the menu.
[16:30] <securityxxxpert> yrlnry:  Edit it manually?  The recovery console trick won't work?  http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-reset-any-linux-password/
[16:30] <ZykoticK9> yrlnry, i just doubt offical ubuntu repos wouldn't upgrade properly
[16:30] <dyllan> ruan, I want to remove it for ALL users not just myself, so global
[16:30] <shyamgai> What may be the problem? Not using gnome, KDE, so have to do it from terminal.
[16:30] <phoenixsampras> wget has cache? how to clear and re-download a broken file?
[16:30] <ruan> dyllan: oh. hmm
[16:30] <ruan> phoenixsampras: wget -c url

[16:32] <ruan> gnome3 does work on natty though.
[16:32] <user82> yeah..read that..but still good
[16:32] <DragonKeeper> whats a good ftp server to use with ubuntu 10.10?
[16:33] <swart> sshd
[16:33] <erUSUL> !ftpd > DragonKeeper
[16:33] <tomtiddly> well that's me up n running i hope
[16:33] <c987-1> DragonKeeper; windows ftp servers work on ubuntu too :P
[16:33] <ruan> was also thinking of ssh, but ssh is more of a systemwide thing
[16:33] <xxmmaann> it stops at boot screen
[16:33] <swart> is there any way to roll back a set of updates in 10.10 desktop?
[16:34] <ruan> xxmmaann: can you go into recovery mode?
[16:34] <ruan> !recovery
[16:34] <ruan> oh not that
[16:34] <xxmmaann> im on live cd now
[16:34] <ruan> hold shift at boot and select recovery mode, then remove the driver package
[16:35] <shyamgai> Hi, sound works only for root user, not for "normal" user. aplay -l works for root, not normal user.
[16:35] <shyamgai> What could be the problem? Thanks!
[16:36] <xxmmaann> i removed that driver
[16:37] <ruan> ok
[16:37] <ruan> xxmmaann: can you boot after removal?

[16:39] <yrlnry> I just ran a dist-upgrade and it upgraded the three things it said it would.  But I'm still getting a message that says "26 packages can be updated. 11 updates are security updates.".  What's going on?
[16:39] <ruan> yrlnry: does an aptitude upgrade work?
[16:40] <xxmmaann> so i removed all nvidia drivers and i launched this comand in terminal>>> sudo service gdm stop
[16:40] <ruan> you should restart gdm, not stop it...
[16:40] <Pici> yrlnry: where are you getting that message?
[16:40] <linjan> ctrl+alt+f1, then login, then sudo restart gdm
[16:40] <yrlnry> At login time.
[16:40] <yrlnry> pici: At login time.
[16:40] <phoenixsampras> when i push
[16:41] <phoenixsampras> ctrl + alt + f1, all gets black
[16:41] <cousteau> and when you press ctrl-alt-f7 everything goes back to normal
[16:41] <ruan> it's fullscreen terminal..
[16:41] <xxmmaann> i tryed but not work >
[16:41] <linjan> black, and you didn't any text?
[16:41] <seru76> yrlnry: try aptitude full-upgrade
[16:41] <Pici> yrlnry: If you've already performed your dist-upgrade steps, then it sounds like the script that generates that motd isn't refreshing properly.
[16:42] <linjan> pici: very strange
[16:42] <xxmmaann> i know when press ctrl-alt-f7 everything goes back to normal but dont work
[16:42] <yrlnry> Pici:  you're right, it's the motd.  I thought it was some command that was being run from the default bashrc and was puzzled that I couldn't find it.
[16:42] <ruan> yrlnry: if aptitude upgrade doesn't work then it's most definitely the script
[16:42] <yrlnry> Pici:  thanks.
[16:43] <xxmmaann> i only can to restart >>>ctrl+alt+del
[16:43] <phoenixsampras> how to enable php5 curl ?
[16:44] <ruan> phoenixsampras: install both?
[16:44] <phoenixsampras> ruan: just curl, php is already installed
[16:45] <yrlnry> Interesting.   the erroneous update information has been put into /etc/motd.tail, so it gets appended to the end of the motd every time the motd is rebuilt.
[16:45] <xxmmaann> so what should i do?
[16:45] <xxmmaann> please help
[16:45] <Pici> phoenixsampras: Install the php5-curl package.

[16:45] <thunderst> thanks.
[16:45] <phoenixsampras> Pici: curl is installed, but moodle says it is not Activated
[16:47] <Pici> yrlnry: yes.  See the contents of /etc/update-motd.d/ for how that file gets created.
[16:47] <xxmmaann> can you help me please? i only can run recovery mode from grub
[16:47] <Pici> phoenixsampras: 'php5-curl' is its own package.
[16:47] <phoenixsampras> ohhh
[16:48] <phoenixsampras> curl <> php5-curl

[16:52] <xxmmaann> so , can you help me , how use recovery mode to repair my linux?
[16:52] <cousteau> chipmenk, tar.lz = tar.lzma - file-roller should be enough
[16:52] <chipmenk> ooops  tar./z and .tar.lz.sig
[16:52] <nady> ihave but not workin in my computer
[16:52] <ruan> xxmmaann: well you have to reverse the installation of the driver
[16:53] <chipmenk> tar.lz
[16:53] <cousteau> if it isn't,   tar x --lzma -f file.tar.lz
[16:53] <nady> ok
[16:53] <shyamgai> aplay -l works as root, but not as normal user. Know what could be happening?
[16:54] <xxmmaann> ruan: i not installed the new driver i removed the old driver
