[05:11] <ljamisonii> maginot: would I just use su- to gain the root access then run the scan while being logged as root?
[05:11] <maginot> ljamisonii, you could use "sudo"
[05:11] <maginot> ljamisonii, its a better approach
[05:12] <maginot> robertzaccour, A software bug is the common term used to describe an error, flaw, mistake, failure, or fault in a computer program or system that produces an incorrect or unexpected result, or causes it to behave in unintended ways. Most bugs arise from mistakes and errors made by people in either a program's source code or its design, and a few are caused by compilers producing incorrect code
[05:12] <amagee> how do i find out what version of the kernel i'm using
[05:13] <maginot> robertzaccour,  you see, "miss configuration" isn't considered a bug.
[05:13] <ariefbayu> @amagee: uname -a
[05:13] <ariefbayu> on me: Linux silent-laptop 2.6.32-16-generic #25-Ubuntu SMP Tue Mar 9 16:33:52 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
[05:13] <ariefbayu> that means, my kernel is 2.6.32-16-generic
[05:13] <maginot> yep
[05:13] <amagee> cool thanks
[05:14] <bobba> Anyone know what package udevtest is in?
[05:14] <chuxxsss> can some one direct me to a how to for ubuntu HDCP please
[05:14] <maginot> bobba, I think you have to use udevadm
[05:14] <maginot> bobba, udevadm test
[05:14] <robertzaccour> bug reported :)
[05:14] <bobba> maginot: Thanks again. darn old pages :)
[05:15] <ljamisonii> maginot: I tried using the "su-" command, but when I enter the password, it results in authentication failure
[05:15] <maginot> chuxxsss, ubuntu DHCP or HDCP ?
[05:15] <maginot> ljamisonii, sudo, no su.
[05:16] <ljamisonii> so I just tried typing "sudo" and it gave the help list of options..
[05:17] <maginot> ljamisonii, sudo <COMMAND>
[05:17] <chuxxsss> maginot, DHCP set one up for my mother-in-law. I am hoping to share my internet with her as she lives 86 metres away
[05:18] <maginot> chuxxsss, well, DHCP isn't mean do share anything ...
[05:18] <ljamisonii> I just tried sudo clamav...not correct?
[05:19] <maginot> chuxxsss, if you are trying to share you internet, you will first have to "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" them set up everything else, a dhcp server is only needed to serve IPs for a network, which you may not need, since are just 2 computers
[05:20] <maginot> ljamisonii, I don't use clamav. But if clamav is you program name, so yes.
[05:20] <ljamisonii> it said command not found..
[05:20] <chuxxsss> Ok I through it was for give people dynamic IP addresses.  What I was think is set up to Wifi cards with one with a high gain antenna the other talking to the home network could this be done.  Or am I really not think this out right
[05:20] <maginot> ljamisonii, I think you don't know what you are trying to do. Do you know that linux doesn't have computer virus problem, right?
[05:21] <chuxxsss> maginot, Thank you for this good starting point :)
[05:21] <maginot> chuxxsss, I think won't be as easier as you think to get that work. You will need some knowledge to make that happen
[05:22] <ljamisonii> yes, I'm aware. I'm actually trying to see if I can remove a virus on my Windows hard drive (Windows installed on sda1, Ubuntu installed on sdb1..two separate hard drives) I found a result on google that ClamAV can detect and remove viruses on a Windows partition. Since that partition lies in a root area, I need the necessary permissions
[05:22] <chuxxsss> I can make the antenna.  And get to Wifi cards I am a communication tech but have never done this one before
[05:23] <switch10_> ljamisonii: you are on the right track..  You have installed clamAV?
[05:23] <ljamisonii> switch10_, yes
[05:24] <chuxxsss> How do I set the permission for the echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
[05:24] <EntityReborn> Where can I see the release timeline for ubuntu?

[05:25] <rodowushu> cual es l canal de ubunu en espaûÝol?
[05:25] <aSt3raL> anyone know how to get cwiid configured to use multiple keys assigned to a button like alt+tab?
[05:26] <maginot> rodowushu, #ubuntu-es
[05:26] <switch10_> and you are trying to run it?
[05:26] <switch10_> ljamisonii: ^^
[05:26] <EntityReborn> maco, know if the style items will be available online? (stickers, etc)
[05:26] <rodowushu> gracias
[05:26] <maco> EntityReborn: not a clue
[05:26] <EntityReborn> Most importantly, will some be available free?
[05:26] <EntityReborn> hm/
[05:26] <EntityReborn> hm.*
[05:26] <ljamisonii> switch10_, yes
[05:27] <switch10_> ljamisonii: clamscan
[05:27] <maco> EntityReborn: stickers arenot free.  i tend to make-my-own for when i need stickers to give out at events
[05:27] <EntityReborn> Well, I'd like one for my lappy :)
[05:27] <bouma> does anyone know how to change the keymap in ubuntu 9.10 for the console
[05:27] <EntityReborn> I live in mexico, no place to make stickers here :)
[05:27] <switch10_> you can do clamscan --help for more info too..
[05:27] <bouma> pretty sure grub2 has a better font
[05:28] <ljamisonii> switch10_: OMFG! YOU ARE MY NEW HERO! lol
[05:28] <bouma> not that the default is terrible just wanted to look at some choices
[05:28] <ljamisonii> switch10_: no wonder why it wasn't working..I was trying to use sudo clamav
[05:28] <bwallen> I installed ubuntu to a usb stick which runs my server which has no monitor. Everything was working perfectly until I rebooted it. Now when I ssh with the correct password I get an access denied error. Does the password reset on reboot?
[05:28] <maco> bwallen: no
[05:29] <maco> bwallen: did you maybe setup some firewall rules?
[05:29] <EntityReborn> bwallen, sure that the USB booted properly?
[05:29] <bwallen> maco: no firewall rules
[05:30] <EntityReborn> bwallen, you get access denied, or connection refused?
[05:30] <tripelb> on chrome, my flash plugin crashes. libflashplayer.so   can I remover it? HOW? (I looked and didnt see how.) Do I have an alternative to install?
[05:30] <semrec> hi guys ... have anyone info how/why ultra edit (shareware) came in the repos ??? ... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/552830
[05:30] <tripelb> 9.10 up from 9.04
[05:30] <bwallen> entityreborn: I think so. I can ssh to the box and it asks me for the username/password, it just acts as if the password is incorrect
[05:30] <EntityReborn> ah
[05:30] <EntityReborn> ok
[05:31] <crypt-0> tripelb, use firefox?
[05:31] <tripelb> yeah, that works, lol crypt-0
[05:32] <crypt-0> i dont trust google.
[05:32] <tripelb> thanks crypt-0
[05:32] <underdev> but google loves you
[05:32] <tripelb> and I love the goog. The office is near here and they have a display that shows what's being searched for - I suppose worldwide.
[05:33] <underdev> must be fun driving by and see "albino midget porn"
[05:34] <EntityReborn> lol
[05:34] <tripelb> but is true about FF. Now that it collects its garbage it works. BUT I religiously shut it down and restart it to handle something better and "so far" no more freezes.
[05:34] <circuitman> hi friends
[05:34] <EntityReborn> I must rant, WHY OH WHY IS YAHOO THE DEFAULT SEARCH ENGINE FOR 10.04??????
[05:35] <circuitman> i have a problem with my dual boot system
[05:35] <crypt-0> google is a social engineering wet dream come true
[05:35] <Untitled_only> No it's not you can change it to google
[05:35] <jedc> Hi, I'm having trouble installing karmic on my macbook pro, when I choose an option from the install menu it just hangs and doesn't do anything.
[05:35] <switch10_> EntityReborn: because they paid for it?  its easy to change..
[05:35] <EntityReborn> google > yahoo any day.
[05:36] <Untitled_only> yes sir
[05:36] <underdev> really need a bash script "karmic10.04.sh"
[05:36] <EntityReborn> With a proper query, If what I want isn't on the first search page, it generally doesn't exist.
[05:36] <EntityReborn> Yahoo/Bing doesn't offer that.
[05:36] <circuitman> i installed 9.04 along side windows xp but cant boot xp,it return an error that the hal.dll file is missing or corrupt
[05:36] <underdev> hmmm, no... that's not it "albino midget lesbian bondage"... okay, there we go
[05:37] <EntityReborn> underdev, take that somewhere else?
[05:37] <EntityReborn> offtopic here.
[05:37] <underdev> sorry
[05:37] <tsyj2007> circuitman: what do you mean
[05:37] <Untitled_only> 10.04 beta i think is the best so far, fixed bugs
[05:37] <circuitman> i mean after installation i cant boot windows xp
[05:37] <tsyj2007> circuitman: install ub ubuntu inside xp?
[05:38] <circuitman> no
[05:38] <vpsnoob> i have a generic question - How do I get a dump of all dns records stored in a remote nameserver? For example, I want all DNS records that are stored at alpha.redtigerhosting.com
[05:38] <circuitman> in another drive
[05:38] <vpsnoob> is there a command for it?
[05:38] <compgenius> vpsnoob: don't think you can do that
[05:38] <tsyj2007> circuitman: can you boot ubuntu
[05:38] <compgenius> without brute-force spamming it
[05:38] <circuitman> ya
[05:39] <circuitman> when i try to boot xp i get an error that the hal.dll file is corrupt
[05:39] <vpsnoob> hmmm thanks compgenius
[05:39] <compgenius> circuitman: you didn't happen to delete ntldr or system32 did you?
[05:39] <tsyj2007> circuitman: ok,you can run shell,then sudo update-grub
[05:40] <compgenius> circuitman: your windows is corrupted
[05:40] <compgenius> you're missing vital files in system32
[05:40] <haavaros> I cant shutdown via the upper right menu ... I can just set my away status. Reboot didn't help. What do I do?
[05:40] <tsyj2007> circuitman: are you sure you did'nt modify anything in xp
[05:40] <circuitman> ya  am sure
[05:40] <compgenius> been doing any hard shutdowns (turning off by holding the power putton or pulling the plug) lately circuitman?
[05:40] <EntityReborn> haavaros, open terminal, type shutdown -h now
[05:41] <switch10_> circuitman: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=466234
[05:41] <maginot> circuitman, whats inside system32 is a windows problem and isn't touched by ubuntu install
[05:41] <circuitman> i didnt touch anything in windows
[05:41] <tsyj2007> circuitman: just try sudo update-grub
[05:41] <circuitman> k
[05:41] <compgenius> circuitman: have you been shutting down imporperly?
[05:41] <fakeer> Getting this error while trying to install SDK and/ Emulator on Ubuntu 9.10: "Failed to rename directory /opt/android-sdk-linux_86/temp/PlatformPackage.new01 to /opt/android-sdk-linux_86/platforms/android-7". What to do?
[05:41] <compgenius> update-grub will probablyn ot fix it
[05:41] <haavaros> EntityReborn: Yeah, I know how to use terminal to shutdown, but I want it back in my menu
[05:42] <maginot> why are everyone trying to use update-grub?
[05:42] <compgenius> its some missing files in system32
[05:42] <circuitman> ok,updating grub done
[05:42] <circuitman> now will i be able to boot both 9.04 and xp
[05:42] <maginot> I don't think so
[05:42] <compgenius> circuitman: to fix it, you put in your windows disk and select the windows partition and it should ask you to repair instead of install
[05:42] <tsyj2007> circuitman: reboot
[05:42] <RudestBuddhist> Hey guys I'm trying to boot to my linux partition using the ubuntu live CD but my linux partition resides on /dev/sda6, is it possible to boot to that location?
[05:42] <maginot> your problem will persist
[05:42] <compgenius> update-grub doesn't help with system32 problems.
[05:42] <switch10_> compgenius: tsyj2007 no update-grub wont fix it.  he needs to repair his windows mbr
[05:43] <compgenius> its not the MBR of windows
[05:43] <circuitman> how to repair then
[05:43] <compgenius> ubuntu doesn't touch that
[05:43] <nhasian> RudestBuddhist, yes you can access your data on that partition, or once you mount it you can chroot to it
[05:43] <maginot> RudestBuddhist, yep, just set root parameter ar root=/dev/sda6
[05:43] <compgenius> circuitman read my last ^^
[05:43] <compgenius> circuitman: to fix it, you put in your windows disk and select the windows partition and it should ask you to repair instead of install
[05:43] <switch10_> compgenius: no, but windows still reads it after grub
[05:44] <maginot> RudestBuddhist, root=/dev/sda6 on the livecd prompt off course
[05:44] <compgenius> switch10_: it boots, but hal.dll missing means files (not just hal.dll) are missing in sys32
[05:44] <circuitman> tell me how to repair that particular file "hal.dll"
[05:44] <maginot> circuitman, thats not the topic of this channel.
[05:44] <compgenius> circuitman: it isn't just that file
[05:44] <compgenius> circuitman: mind if I pm you?
[05:44] <switch10_> circuitman: you need a windows disk
[05:45] <circuitman> switch10:then?
[05:45] <RudestBuddhist> maginot: I get "Error loading Operating System"
[05:45] <circuitman> ya i have windows disk
[05:45] <RudestBuddhist> maginot: Which I think is windows complaining...?
[05:45] <maginot> RudestBuddhist, did you put root=/dev/sda6 on your livecd prompt ?
[05:45] <compgenius> circuitman: I have pm'd you
[05:46] <switch10_> circuitman: look here:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=466234
[05:46] <RudestBuddhist> maginot: I did, if I try to boot from my MBR I get the same error
[05:46] <RudestBuddhist> maginot: I had a windows XP re-install just fail on me, that's what caused this
[05:46] <maginot> RudestBuddhist, I must imagine that sda6 isn't you linux root partition
[05:47] <RudestBuddhist> maginot: It was listed that way in my grub file though....
[05:47] <RudestBuddhist> maginot: I feel like it's not taking the boot option, do I need any other parameters?
[05:47] <maginot> RudestBuddhist, if you just want to repair your boot loader you can do it after booting from the livecd without problems
[05:48] <Untitled_only> Download the Windows XP iso from the internet and use VirtualBox. saves gigs and time
[05:48] <RudestBuddhist> maginot: My live CD won't boot, it just takes me to a initramfs console
[05:48] <kerebrus> virtual box doesnt always work very well if your using an older comp
[05:48] <maginot> O.o
[05:49] <aurizaakbar> RudestBuddhist: you can repair GRUB from Ubuntu LiveCD.
[05:49] <RudestBuddhist> I just use windows to game, so no virtualbox for me :(
[05:49] <Jester05> hey guys.. I'm looking for a torrent program that I can run on a server.. the torrent will need to be able to be operated remotely, ie web interface if possible.. I want the web interface to have FULL control of the client, not just minimal controls.. anyone have any suggestions?
[05:49] <maginot> RudestBuddhist, root=/dev/sda6 boot=/boot
[05:49] <RudestBuddhist> my liveCD only boots to an initramfs console it never actually boots to a GUI
[05:49] <Untitled_only> thats true.
[05:49] <Gapagos> Hello... can anyone tell me how I could mount a SDHC card that I can only connect through my Canon digital camera?
[05:49] <Jester05> The torrent client will also need to be extremely stable as it will be running on my mythtv server
[05:49] <switch10_> Jester05: transmission has a webUI
[05:49] <RudestBuddhist> maginot: Let me try that quick...
[05:50] <Gapagos> i would like to use my digital camera as a card reader, pretty much
[05:50] <aurizaakbar> RudestBuddhist: maybe your Li
[05:50] <Jester05> switch10_, I haven't used it for some time but last I recall its webUI wasn't the greatest in terms of full featured functionality.. has it improved?
[05:50] <Gapagos> I have non-.jpg files on the card but I can't seem to accesss then when I read the memory card as from the camera itself connected to the pc
[05:50] <Gapagos> (i don't have a card reader)
[05:50] <aurizaakbar> RudestBuddhist: maybe your LiveCD is corrupted?
[05:50] <RudestBuddhist> maginot: Still get an error loading operating system error
[05:51] <Untitled_only> thats what I think.
[05:51] <Jester05> how stable is azureous?
[05:51] <maginot> RudestBuddhist, I think you have to try another ubuntu livecd disk
[05:51] <RudestBuddhist> I think this laptop is just crap
[05:51] <Untitled_only> It didn't load up for me had to delete
[05:51] <RudestBuddhist> I'll try another see if that helps
[05:51] <brando753> how can i use httrack to pull imagess off of google
[05:51] <Gapagos> can anyone tell me how to mount a SDHC flash card seperately from the camera that holds it as a whole?
[05:52] <aurizaakbar> I'm leaving, out.
[05:52] <Jester05> Gapagos, are you running gnome or kde?
[05:52] <switch10_> Jester05: I have it installed on my NAS and it works great.  I just started using transmission so I don't know how it would compare to the older ones.  It is not fully featured though.  You could always use rtorrent, and administer remotely VIA SSH.
[05:52] <Gapagos> Jester05, gnome
[05:52] <FM4k> Hey all - Question:
[05:52] <FM4k> After what looked like a fine shutdown, my ubuntu nbr only boots to a white console now...
[05:52] <Untitled_only> qBitTorrent is better
[05:52] <Jester05> Gapagos, add disk mounter to your panel
[05:53] <Jester05> switch10_, I considered that but I'd like to be able to log into it via webUI b/c not all pc's I'm around have ssh preinstalled
[05:54] <switch10_> FM4k: can you get to a terminal with ctrl+alt+f1?
[05:54] <FM4k> er... terminal is already open, sorta.
[05:54] <switch10_> Jester05: yes.  a webUI is nice.  I am quite happy with transmission..
[05:54] <Untitled_only> I open my terminal with f12
[05:54] <Gapagos> Jester05 I cannot find disk mounter, only MountManager and disk utility
[05:54] <RudestBuddhist> Thanks for your help ya'll looks like at least I can get into XP now, I'll get this sorted out after work tomorrow!
[05:55] <FM4k> switch10_: Theres a terminal in the top left hand corner of the screen, and taking up just over a quarter of the screen. The rest of the screen is black. If i mouse-over the black area, my cursor changes to the spinner.
[05:55] <Jester05> Gapagos, you right clicked on your panel and clicked add right?
[05:55] <switch10_> FM4k: can you alt+f2 to run stuff?
[05:55] <FM4k> no
[05:55] <Jester05> Gapagos, Diskmounter is within the first screen of options for me
[05:55] <FM4k> switch10_: no sir - nothing happens from any of the function keys.
[05:55] <Untitled_only> yes
[05:56] <Untitled_only> try it. works for me
[05:56] <switch10_> FM4k: put this in a terminal:     gnome-appearance-properties %F
[05:56] <Jester05> switch10_, I'm going to try a few out on my test station I think .. I want something that will have a low impact on the overall system performance.. its also running on my MythTV master backend server which duals as the main frontend for my living room so... the box is a bit taxed and only having a P4 2.8ghz... :-\
[05:57] <Gapagos> Jester95 sorry i was looking in the software centre to add programs. I found it, but it only shows the local disks and the digital camera, not its memory card itself
[05:57] <switch10_> FM4k: turn off visual effects.
[05:57] <FM4k> switch10_: They are off.
[05:57] <Gapagos> Jester05 sorry i was looking in the software centre to add programs. I found it, but it only shows the local disks and the digital camera, not its memory card itself
[05:57] <Jester05> Gapagos, is the card plugged in thru the camera or thru a card reader?
[05:58] <switch10_> FM4k: have you restarted x?
[05:58] <Gapagos> Jester05, through the camera, i dont have a card reader
[05:58] <Jester05> Gapagos, then somewhere in the camera's options you'll have to change how the camera is functioning
[05:58] <Gapagos> Jester05 i want to mount the memory card because it holds files not recognized by the camera
[05:58] <FM4k> switch10_: I'm a total nub - I have no idea what "x" is lol - is that xserver or whatever?
[05:59] <switch10_> FM4k: yes.  hold right ALT+SYSREQ+k
[05:59] <Jester05> Gapagos, yeah I know what you mean.. but you'll have to find a way for the camera to pass directly to the computer.. essentially the camera will act soully as a card reader
[05:59] <FM4k> switch10_: I dont have a right-alt.. I just have left-alt. my ubuntu install is on a mini9 :-/
[06:00] <switch10_> FM4k: try the other alt...
[06:00] <Gapagos> Jester05 i can't find any option reguarding connection in the camera
[06:00] <Jester05> Gapagos, depending on the camera it may not be an option but I highly doubt that if its even a semi modern camera.. most have it somewhere in the settings
[06:00] <val_xu> hi uh, does anyone know the name of that gui application that simplifies hard drive mounting for disks without fstab entries? I'm on a livecd
[06:00] <val_xu> It started with a p, but that's all I can remember
[06:00] <FM4k> switch10_: what the hell is "sysreq"?
[06:00] <Jester05> Gapagos, It probably has it something.. might call it disk mode or something
[06:00] <mneptok> FM4k: "print screen"
[06:01] <FM4k> oh..
[06:01] <mneptok> FM4k: a lot of newer keyboards do not properly dual-label that key
[06:01] <switch10_> FM4k: system requirements.  or print screen
[06:01] <FM4k> switch10_: It just brings up a print-screen window, doesnt do anytihng
[06:01] <Gapagos> Jester05 it has no disk mode, usb mode, ftp mode, reading more or anything that sounds like that
[06:02] <val_xu> pysdm, thanks anyway.
[06:02] <mneptok> FM4k: it's a three-finger salute
[06:02] <switch10_> FM4k: Yeah that left alt key is messing with you.
[06:02] <FM4k> switch10_: That's awesome - Anyhow... how would I get "x" to start via terminal?
[06:02] <mneptok> FM4k: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start
[06:02] <switch10_> FM4k: startx
[06:03] <Jester05> Gapagos, it may not be an option w/ that camera but I would assume theres some way it can be done.. it may have to be in a different mode to do it even.. maybe in playback vs. shoot mode..  idk but it is a camera controlled thing that you're trying to do
[06:03] <Gapagos> Jester05 all i can do about files is create folders, reset numbering and format the card
[06:03] <switch10_> mneptok: ahh its different in Ubuntu?
[06:03] <FM4k> switch10_: "fatal error", server already active for display 0
[06:03] <Jester05> Gapagos, what brand of camera?
[06:04] <Gapagos> Jester05 canon SD1000
[06:04] <Jester05> switch10_, I just checked out transmission.. not sure I like its UI :-\
[06:04] <Jester05> Gapagos, let me see what I can find real quick
[06:05] <Jester05> Gapagos, I think I'd done that before w/ my S5IS, but I'm not certain
[06:05] <carick> FM4k: if you already have X running you cannot start another one on the default screen. if you want to start on a second screen, use startx -- :1
[06:05] <FM4k> carick: I cant get X to start.. or show anything. I have no desktop.
[06:05] <switch10_> FM4k: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[06:06] <FM4k> switch10_: we're back to a black background and a terminal screen in the top left :-/
[06:06] <Zardaify> Is there a way to configure Ubuntu to use a NETGEAR USB network adapter?
[06:07] <Gapagos> Jester05 thanks for the help but i think canon is too protective of its camera
[06:07] <Gapagos> im losing hope and going to sleep
[06:07] <Gapagos> thanks for your help
[06:08] <Jester05> Gapagos, shy of changing out the firmware for that model, I don't think it can be done
[06:08] <switch10_> FM4k: ok that restarted x.  when did this start happening?  What caused it?
[06:08] <Gapagos> Jester05 yeah and id rather not brick my camera
[06:08] <rain_> Hello,anybody here
[06:08] <Jester05> Gapagos, yeah.. I think the point and shoot series lack that advanced functionality.. could always try a Hacked firmware tho.. look like I saw one that changed the game alot
[06:08] <carick> !ask
[06:08] <mneptok> rain_: nope. 1272 users and no one is active.
[06:09] <FM4k> switch10_: I shut down using the "shut down option" from the ubuntu taskbar menu for it, it started happening after that shutdown, which was about an hour ago.
[06:09] <jedc> can someone help me get freeglut3-dev installed in ubuntu jaunty? It fails with unment dependecies and broken packages, here is the output http://pastebin.com/4pVaBuFk
[06:09] <Jester05> Gapagos, I've run hacked firmware on my S5IS.. you just put it on the card so once you remove the card its back to factory
[06:09] <Foy> Tru
[06:09] <switch10_> FM4k: this is a new install?  and you are on 9.10?
[06:09] <mneptok> FM4k: did you install binary graphic drivers off a manufacturers site and then upgrade your kernel?
[06:09] <Jester05> Gapagos, but that's my model too.. I dunno how your firmware would be implemented
[06:09] <FM4k> switch10_: This is a totally fresh install of ubuntu, the only thing I changed was I removed openoffice.org stuff, evolution, and added mozilla sunbird.
[06:10] <switch10_> FM4k: and installed the recommended hardware drivers right?
[06:10] <Gapagos> Jester05 I think it's safer to just suck up to my roomates who have a card reader built in their hp / dell laptops for once
[06:10] <Jester05> Gapagos, I had to put the .bin files in the root of my card and have the switch tossed to "locked" and it booted from the hacked firmware.. it was interesting to use but once I bought my D200 I lost interest ;)
[06:10] <FM4k> switch10_: Yessir
[06:10] <switch10_> FM4k: you are on 9.10?
[06:10] <Jester05> Gapagos, you can also buy a 5in1 card reader in ebay for <$5
[06:11] <FM4k> switch10_: Yea - 9.10 netbook remix
[06:11] <Gapagos> yeah but I'm travelling to peru for 2+ months in like 10 days :D
[06:11] <Gapagos> so no time for shipping
[06:11] <Jester05> Gapagos, it'd be here in 10 days..
[06:11] <FM4k> switch10_: Would removing openoffice cause ubuntu to take a dump like this? it shouldn't, right?
[06:11] <Gapagos> Jester05 not with Canada Post
[06:11] <Jester05> Gapagos, I'm sure you could even get a USB SD reader from newegg
[06:11] <switch10_> FM4k: no
[06:12] <Gapagos> but thanks for your help and have a good night :)
[06:12] <carick> FM4k: no, its the drivers most likely
[06:12] <Jester05> Gapagos, no prob man.. have a good night and a good trip!
[06:12] <switch10_> FM4k: i would run   /usr/bin/jockey-gtk  and remove the driver..
[06:12] <switch10_> FM4k: and then restart..
[06:13] <FM4k> switch10_: whats teh exact command for that?
[06:14] <switch10_> FM4k:  you see a white screen?
[06:14] <FM4k> switch10_: I see a white console window, yea.
[06:15] <switch10_> FM4k: put in:   /usr/bin/jockey-gtk   a window should pop up..
[06:15] <`blackmk4`linux> how can i disable all power management
[06:15] <`blackmk4`linux> i don't have x installed
[06:16] <hiexpo> Blackcamaro8, just go to system/pref/power management
[06:16] <wrapster> vi and vim are not a part of any pkg? yet how are they present/
[06:16] <FM4k> window popped up
[06:16] <`blackmk4`linux> i don't have x
[06:16] <`blackmk4`linux> so i can't go to system
[06:16] <`blackmk4`linux> this box is cli only
[06:16] <switch10_> FM4k: click on disable.
[06:16] <switch10_> FM4k: or remove..
[06:16] <hiexpo> oh
[06:17] <maginot> wrapster, vim pkg is vim
[06:17] <wrapster> maginot: yes i know that.. but dpkg -S /usr/bin/vim did not show anything..
[06:17] <FM4k> switch10_: It's the only way I can connect to internet :-/ but here it goes...
[06:17] <wrapster> maginot: yet vim is present.
[06:17] <switch10_> FM4k: wait
[06:17] <FM4k> switch10_: not authorized. Woo!
[06:17] <maginot> wrapster, dpkg -l | grep vim
[06:18] <switch10_> FM4k: disable your graphics card driver, not your nic driver..
[06:18] <revcbh> I'm having a strange issue on 9.10 where I try to login, it accepts the password, the screen goes black for a moment, and then I get booted to the login screen again. Any ideas?
[06:18] <FM4k> switch10_; same comand in console?
[06:19] <switch10_> FM4k: yes
[06:19] <`blackmk4`linux> how do i disable power management (turning off lan/hdd/etc) in console
[06:19] <FM4k> switch10_: Same window pops up, graphics s not an option... only my wireless driver shows up for removal.
[06:20] <switch10_> FM4k: and you didn't install drivers from a website?
[06:22] <FM4k> switch10_: No, I used the automatic driver update.. thing.
[06:23] <switch10_> FM4k: after you installed, it booted fine?
[06:23] <switch10_> FM4k: at least once?
[06:23] <FM4k> switch10_: Yessir, everything was working except wireless... but thats because its the mini9
[06:23] <FM4k> switch10_: and I managed to get it to startup / shutdown about 5-ish times throughout the day before this recent badness
[06:24] <switch10_> FM4k: I have no idea how that could have happened.
[06:24] <FM4k> switch10_: :'( *sigh* is there a way to do an automated repair of any kind?
[06:25] <ar0n> guys, im going to be dual  booting,  win 7 and ubuntu, im formating the disk during the win install do i just do the whole disk and the ubuntu install will repartition?
[06:25] <switch10_> FM4k: It may be easier to just reinstall..  since it is new
[06:26] <coz_> ar0n,  my suggestion is to partition the disk during win7 install
[06:26] <ar0n> it doesnt seem to want to let me
[06:26] <FM4k> switch10_: But then I'm presented with the problem of acquiring the driver again - I dont have access to a wired connection :( is there a way I might... grab.. teh driver package and move it to my SD card? or am I kinda boned?
[06:26] <coz_> ar0n,  o h?
[06:27] <ar0n> yeah this win 7 install
[06:27] <ar0n> never done it
[06:27] <switch10_> FM4k: yeah, find the name of your driver..  use that command I posted earlier..
[06:27] <coz_> ar0n,   mm  there should be a partitioner during install...I have not installed win7 at this point so I cant help with that part
[06:27] <FM4k> switch10_: the jockey command?
[06:27] <brando753> how can i use httrack to pull imagess off of google
[06:28] <switch10_> FM4k: and do a google search and find and download the driver
[06:28] <ar0n> coz yeah it doesnt want to let me resize
[06:28] <amstan> hey guys.. i have a weird problem, i'm trying to deactivate the pc beep, but sudo rmmod pcspkr gives me "ERROR: Module pcspkr does not exist in /proc/modules "
[06:28] <ljamisonii> switch10_: Hey, I just want to thank you for your help. The scan just finished and it found 3 trojans on my Windows partition.

[06:37] <maginot> amstan, did you also tried changing the pcspeaker volume on alsamixer?
[06:37] <bradpitt> hi. is it normal if the installation process took 30 minutes when i compiled a software?
[06:38] <subone> bradpitt: look for errors
[06:38] <ardchoille> bradpitt: what did you compile?
[06:38] <amstan> maginot: i have no slider for that
[06:38] <maginot> amstan, try on the console
[06:38] <subone> maginot: was mute mentioned? (M key)
[06:38] <amstan> maginot: there's a "Beep" slider but it's on 0
[06:39] <amstan> maginot: ?
[06:39] <13WAAM6EG> how could i check the version of the package available in repo with installing it
[06:39] <bradpitt> subone, ardchoille i compiled a game " The Mana World "  from git. i have it installed now, but just curious why the installation took me 30 minutes. :)
[06:39] <robertzaccour> if i apport-collect on a bug does it analyze my system and try to fix it or what?
[06:39] <maginot> amstan, I don't know what else to tell you... are you sure is pcspkr beep and not some sound configuration on pidgin ?
[06:39] <subone> bradpitt: compilation can be a long process
[06:40] <robertzaccour> whats that all about anyway?
[06:40] <amstan> maginot: this happens on other windows too
[06:40] <ardchoille> bradpitt: if it installed correctly, then I wouldn't worry about it. I've had apps take timebefore
[06:40] <Aayush_> how could i check the version of the package in repo without installing it
[06:40] <subone> bradpitt: good news is if you compile it again right now it will be instant :p
[06:40] <maginot> amstan, my "beep" is mutted on alsamixer... try that too
[06:41] <amstan> maginot: and why didn't i think of that? lol

[06:41] <neoraj> how to open archieve manager
[06:42] <bazhang> neoraj, what are you trying to do
[06:43] <neoraj> i downloaded some file and it got saved in archieve manager but i don know how to open it where to search for
[06:43] <bazhang> neoraj, what format file, what are you trying to do with it
[06:43] <subone> Anyone know what would be the proper way to run gnome-panel from a terminal?
[06:43] <Aayush_> how could i check the version of the package available in repo without before installing it
[06:43] <neoraj> bazhang, i downloaded some file and it got saved in archieve manager but i don know how to open it where to search for
[06:43] <neoraj>
[06:44] <amstan> Aayush_: do you have the repo url, it's usually browsable by http
[06:44] <bazhang> neoraj, you just repeated yourself without answering my question.
[06:44] <subone> something like `export DISPLAY=:0; gnome-panel &`?
[06:44] <amstan> Aayush_: also.. if i'm not wrong synaptic shows versions from each of the repos
[06:44] <bazhang> neoraj, what format file what are you trying to do with it
[06:44] <hiexpo> amstan, thats right
[06:45] <neoraj> bazhang, that ubuntu pocket guide its in pdf format
[06:46] <bazhang> neoraj, dont do that, just save to Desktop, or wherever you download items, then right click open with document viewer, or simply double click, all pdf can do that in Ubuntu
[06:46] <subone> aw man im dyin here without my gui
[06:46] <neoraj> k but how to navigate to archieve folder at some time if i want
[06:47] <ramanK> Hi there
[06:47] <ramanK> How can I change the font color of a textbox in open office ?
[06:47] <bazhang> neoraj, which format of archive
[06:47] <Aayush_> amstan, i want see version of package while searching like this "aptitude search amsn" dhile doing something like this i want version to be displayed
[06:48] <amstan> Aayush_: idk.. check the map page for aptitude
[06:48] <amstan> maybe there's something there
[06:48] <ardchoille> Aayush_: apt-cache policy packagename
[06:48] <bazhang> neoraj, the ones you want to extract can often be right clicked and 'extract here'
[06:48] <maginot> ramanK, try the openoffice Help (F1)
[06:48] <mneptok> Aayush_: apt-cache show amsn
[06:48] <ardchoille> Aayush_: that will show you the currently available version as well as its installed state
[06:48] <neoraj> bazh, thanks wait im opening it
[06:49] <moetunes> subone: can you go to another tty and enter   metacity --replace?
[06:49] <hiexpo> all packages have there versions listed in synaptic
[06:49] <ramanK> maginot: good offer
[06:49] <subone> Aayush_: i beleive it is the -V option you are looking for for aptitude
[06:49] <bazhang> neoraj, with pdf you don't need to do that, just double click and it will open
[06:49] <hiexpo> apptitude --version
[06:50] <neoraj> bazh, what is an archieve in ubuntu
[06:50] <subone> moetunes: no effect
[06:50] <maginot> hiexpo, aptitude
[06:50] <bazhang> neoraj, its spelled archive; most often a compressed file / files
[06:51] <himik> Aayush_, aptitude -F "%p | %v | %V" search <name>
[06:51] <hiexpo> i know i am tired   and losing my spelling skills lo
[06:52] <subone> moetunes: but xorg and metacity are chewing up my cpu, fan is going crazy
[06:52] <Aayush_> himik, thats what i want, thanks
[06:52] <neoraj> is it a seperate folder in ubuntu
[06:52] <moetunes> subone: I'd kill it in tty and check the logs for errors
[06:53] <maginot> hiexpo, It is an acceptable mistake =)
[06:53] <hiexpo> magic_ninja,  - lol
[06:54] <bazhang> neoraj, an archive? for example if you want to get a theme from gnome-look.org the archive will have the ending tar.gz ; this you don't extract but simply drag to the themes manager, and drop it there
[06:54] <magic_ninja> ?
[06:54] <hiexpo> maginot,  - lol
[06:54] <hiexpo> magic_ninja,  - sorry typo
[06:54] <subone> moetunes: ok cpu is calm, fan is off, now what
[06:54] <subone> oh check logs
[06:54] <neoraj> bazh, k
[06:54] <moetunes> :)
[06:55] <prestonc> how do you disable gwibber-service? It's running my CPU constantly and the fan won't slow down
[06:55] <bazhang> neoraj, sometimes archives end with a .rar in which you may wish to extract them, or join with others if it is rar1 rar2 etc
[06:56] <Am4no> prestonc.it's in gwibber options also I'd disabled mine in startup applicatations
[06:57] <bazhang> neoraj, the majority of these questions are answered in the ubuntu wiki and ubuntu help guide as well as that pdf you downloaded, you would learn a lot from taking a little time and reading up on them
[06:57] <ramanK> maginot: The problem is when I select the text of a text box , the font color Icon on the toolbar diappears.
[06:58] <neoraj> bazhang, ya sure i will go through rite now itself
[06:58] <ramanK> maginot: and I cant change the font color
[06:58] <bazhang> neoraj, okay, good
[06:58] <neoraj> bazh, im newly installed ubuntu i mean new to linux itself
[06:58] <maginot> ramanK, maybe you have to select in the textbox preferences ? Well, #openoffice if is a problem
[06:58] <bazhang> neoraj, of course, we all were once. :)
[06:58] <neoraj> bazh, ya rite
[06:58] <ramanK> maginot: thanks
[06:59] <neoraj> bazh, ur from wt do u do
[06:59] <bazhang> neoraj, if you wish to chat, the channel for that is #ubuntu-offtopic ; here is support only; you can get there by /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:59] <prestonc> Am4no, I don't see gwibber in my startup applications
[06:59] <prestonc> hmmm...
[07:00] <McPeter> hi !
[07:00] <rww> prestonc: Which version of Ubuntu are you using?

[07:00] <prestonc> oops, thanks
[07:00] <rww> prestonc: then you probably want to ask in #ubuntu+1 instead :)
[07:00] <McPeter> "Ubuntu Software Center" add Shaware now ?
[07:00] <subone> moetunes: having trouble locating them
[07:01] <bazhang> McPeter, shareware?

[07:11] <subone> everytime i upgrade my computer breaks
[07:11] <Guest836> subone or something ends up not working
[07:11] <semrec> rww, ^^ My fault ... yes partner and restricted ...
[07:11] <knoppies> subone, you should do a clean install, or when you say upgrade do you just mean update?
[07:11] <McPeter> maginot, http://blinckers.dnsalias.net/public/images/Free_Software_Is_ShareWare.png and http://blinckers.dnsalias.net/public/images/Free_Software_Is_ShareWare_2.png
[07:11] <subone> like the position im in now... stuck in tty
[07:11] <knoppies> subone, I suggest you always do clean installs.
[07:11] <McPeter> 2 different machine
[07:12] <Guest836> clean install is best
[07:12] <knoppies> subone, I would get a live CD, copy all your data you want to keep (like your home folder) to an external HDD (or a different partition) reformat, clean install. Move data back.
[07:12] <subone> knoppies: ? i dont have time for all that! ive got everything set up the way i want, that woudl take forever
[07:12] <shazbotmcnasty> hey
[07:12] <McPeter> the additional repository adding by "ubuntu software center" when i install flash
[07:12] <shazbotmcnasty> my friend keeps totally breaking his computer - i have no idea how
[07:12] <knoppies> subone, or you could seperate your /home partition.
[07:13] <subone> the updates should just work, not break something every time
[07:13] <shazbotmcnasty> he broke his video and audio
[07:13] <shazbotmcnasty> they no longer work
[07:13] <knoppies> subone, updates or upgrades?
[07:13] <shazbotmcnasty> I don't know what he did, and neither does he
[07:13] <Guest836> just install the retricted-extras
[07:13] <Guest836> restricted-extras
[07:13] <subone> either
[07:14] <subone> thats why im in this spot im in now
[07:14] <McPeter> you search free software .. .and you install shareware :(
[07:15] <subone> i have no metacity or gnome-panel running and im just lost in the tty
[07:17] <ONE23> this will fix mostly everything sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[07:17] <knoppies> ONE23, and then it breaks something...
[07:18] <ariefbayu> is there anyone using karmic here?
[07:18] <ariefbayu> I need to confirm something
[07:18] <subone> i am
[07:18] <knoppies> ari_stress, 9.10 yes, both server and desktop edition.
[07:18] <ariefbayu> @subone: can you click anything behind notify window?
[07:18] <ariefbayu> the one that popped un on top right corner
[07:19] <subone> ariefbayu: the one for volume control, media play, etc?
[07:19] <ariefbayu> nope
[07:19] <knoppies> ariefbayu, I will try.
[07:19] <ariefbayu> it's something that shown when, eg: your chat friend goes online
[07:19] <subone> ariefbayu: yeah thats what i was talking about
[07:20] <subone> at least mine pops up when video/music is changing, volume changing, messages, etc
[07:20] <ariefbayu> ok, can you click anything behing it?
[07:20] <ariefbayu> *behind
[07:20] <knoppies> yes  ariefbayu I can.
[07:20] <knoppies> ariefbayu, and it fades when my mouse hovers over it.
[07:20] <subone> ariefbayu: unfortunately, i cant help you there, i cant seem to run my GUI at all
[07:21] <ONE23> sudo startx
[07:21] <ariefbayu> @knoppies: but can you click?
[07:21] <knoppies> ariefbayu, yes.
[07:21] <subone> ONE23: X is already running
[07:21] <ariefbayu> because, on Lucid I cant
[07:21] <ariefbayu> ok, thanks
[07:21] <knoppies> ariefbayu, and it selects what is behind the notification.
[07:21] <knoppies> ariefbayu, interesting.
[07:22] <KayAteChef> how can I make firestarter forget about ppp0?
[07:22] <McPeter> maginot, you see my capture ?
[07:22] <ariefbayu> I've been asking this on #ubuntu+1 but no one respond me up till now:(
[07:22] <KayAteChef> I used to have a modem on the computer and now I do not... I simply want it to work on eth0 but it will not start
[07:22] <KayAteChef> firestarter won't start without ppp0
[07:22] <shazbotmcnasty> google chrome is totally broken
[07:22] <openlive> #ubuntu-ru
[07:22] <shazbotmcnasty> it won't close
[07:23] <shazbotmcnasty> I can't do ANYTHING with it
[07:23] <hiexpo> subone, wasn;t you the one wanting the app to control the fan speed
[07:23] <shazbotmcnasty> I can't killall google-chrome because apparently it's not running
[07:23] <subone> hiexpo: when?
[07:23] <maginot> McPeter, yes, but I didn't asked for an image, it can't help me.
[07:23] <shazbotmcnasty> but I can minimise maximize, but I can't get rid of it
[07:23] <hiexpo> earlier or not ?
[07:23] <eboxer> .
[07:23] <McPeter> maginot, you want copie text of my sources.list ?
[07:23] <subone> hiexpo: no, my fan was going crazy because metacity was eating up my cpu
[07:24] <eboxer> howdy. is there a DVD ripper with a web interface?
[07:24] <bazhang> eboxer, handbrake ?
[07:24] <maginot> McPeter, if you pastebin it, of course.
[07:24] <maginot> !pastebin
[07:24] <Microman171> Has anyone heard of the GDM crashing to a terminal, and then loading the login screen?  It comes up with an error about communication..
[07:24] <subone> hiexpo: ive since killed metacity, but cant get it to run again
[07:24] <bazhang> wait web interface?
[07:25] <hiexpo> oh ok
[07:25] <knoppies> Microman171, no, but when I try to do things while my Machine is moving files it tends to crash to the login screen (I dont see a terminal though).
[07:25] <knoppies> subone, Im going to assume you have tried to restart?
[07:25] <eboxer> bazhang: I've build a basic box with CLI shell, & boxee & xbmc running. I've installed handbrake, but does not provide remote interface
[07:26] <Microman171> knoppies: I can type anything into the terminal, and it ignores the command.  It then loads up the GUI login screen (which is broken(
[07:26] <McPeter> maginot, http://pastebin.com/zpU0asbj
[07:27] <subone> knoppies: yes. you see, for some reason after updating my screens no longer come on as 2, but as cloned screens. so gnome-panel crashes because there are panels on both screens i guess. but the fix that i was using temporarily suddenly stopped working, idk y
[07:28] <subone> knoppies: which was something along the lines of `gconf-editor --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel`
[07:29] <subone> and then i was just setting up my panels again and just not restarting
[07:29] <subone> cant seem to get a window manager running now idk y
[07:30] <McPeter> maginot, and on first machine : http://pastebin.com/E5ebLLNw
[07:30] <knoppies> subone, sounds like you have a mess. I dont have any ideas.
[07:31] <debclair> hi everyone, has anyone noticed how hard it is to develop plugins and extensions for OOo?
[07:32] <moetunes> I get no bell in the terminal or in xchat - it is eerie - is this a new 9.10 thing?
[07:32] <maginot> McPeter, I can't find ultraedit on your repository, have tried here.
[07:32] <knoppies> moetunes, you will probably work out that you get no sound in 9.10 (I dont).
[07:32] <roma> #ubuntu-ru
[07:33] <roma> ubuntu-ru
[07:33] <knoppies> moetunes, Im considering downgrading until 10.04 comes out.
[07:33] <McPeter> maginot, :|
[07:34] <maginot> and now I have to go.
[07:34] <maginot> [ ]s
[07:36] <McPeter> :\
[07:37] <DexterLB> this is more generic issue so I think it's not for ubuntu+1: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9077468#post9077468
[07:37] <Whisky_> I'm almost crazy. My Wifi just won't work! It sees my network, connects fine but will NOT let me browse the internet or anything at all. On the other hand, it will work flawlessly with Ethernet. I've put DNS servers too, but to no avail. Help!
[07:37] <hiexpo> subone, did ya fix it or is it bricked
[07:38] <subone> i restarted again and the gnome-panel fix i did worked this time
[07:38] <hiexpo> now remove that metcity
[07:38] <subone> i was able to get my screens back to 1 big screen for now, but if i have to restart ill have to go through this all over again... i can only hope its as easy as an xorg.conf replacement
[07:40] <moetunes> knoppies: I'm sorry for your sound issues - it works here so I thought the no beep was an ubuntu config - it works in pclinux which I dual boot
[07:40] <ONE23> this will fix mostly everything sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[07:41] <knoppies> moetunes, well, I know sound used to work on it. Although it used to be unpredictable.
[07:42] <Whisky_> :/
[07:42] <gregg> just out of curiosity - does anyone know how to get virtualbox guest additions working in a Lucid guest? Yes, i asked in #vbox but there's not much activity in there ;)
[07:43] <cosi> hi, is there a way to get my built-in webcam to work with facebook?

[07:50] <shazbotmcnasty> it's easy to find
[07:50] <shazbotmcnasty> and I have it downloaded
[07:50] <Whisky_> ONE23: It's Automatic DHCP. It gets the IP automatically, I just changed the nameservers because with DNS set auto, it STILL wouldn't work
[07:50] <shazbotmcnasty> but apparently the nd5sums don't match
[07:50] <shazbotmcnasty> and it won't run
[07:50] <knoppies> shazbotmcnasty, I will have a look.

[07:51] <hiexpo> ok one sec
[07:51] <shazbotmcnasty> oh wait nvm
[07:51] <shazbotmcnasty> it's 32
[07:51] <inexistent> shazbotmcnasty, you want the link for 64 bits?
[07:51] <hiexpo> vista driver
[07:51] <ONE23> no idea then, someone might know
[07:51] <mint> i have 5 hard drives on my server pc...during install of Ubuntu server if i select LVM Will it use all of them or do i need to add them later?
[07:51] <shazbotmcnasty> sorry I forgot to say 64 bits
[07:51] <shazbotmcnasty> yes please
[07:51] <zamba> i have a problem i need a quick fix for.. when i try to start devfsd, i get No devfs on /dev, not starting

[07:54] <knoppies> hiexpo, thats the winvista version, not the linux version.
[07:54] <hiexpo> oops

[07:55] <inexistent> yep
[07:55] <knoppies> shazbotmcnasty, 64bit linux version for the 7 series, its about 4mb
[07:55] <inexistent> that's what i gave him
[07:55] <inexistent> 40 MB
[07:55] <knoppies> thats what I meant
[07:55] <MikeyPooh> i have 5 hard drives on my server pc...during install of Ubuntu server if i select LVM Will it use all of them or do i need to add them later?
[07:56] <gregg> does anyone know how to get virtualbox guest additions working on a Lucid guest? I keep getting an error about building the kernel modules - Yes, i asked in #vbox but there's not much activity in there ;)
[07:56] <nomnex> I might buy a new notebook panasonic cf-f9, screen resolution 1440û900. Is there any problem with this screen resolution?
[07:56] <igoryonya> hello, I don't get it, what is the option in wget to save the download to a specific file, I've read help, didn't find any option, that says output file, or anything similar. I want to save to a file other, then the one, specified by the url.
[07:57] <knoppies> igoryonya, I can man wget for you, but other than that I would have no idea.
[07:57] <iceroot> igoryonya: imo wget url -O file
[07:57] <inexistent> igoryonya, i download with the original name
[07:57] <iceroot> igoryonya: it was -o -O or -0
[07:58] <hiexpo> ok i got it one sec
[07:59] <hiexpo> http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/195.36.15/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-195.36.15-pkg2.run
[07:59] <hiexpo> or i can send it to you shazbotmcnasty
[08:00] <MikeyPooh> i have 5 hard drives on my server pc...during install of Ubuntu server if i select LVM Will it use all of them or do i need to add them later?
[08:00] <ONE23> .
[08:00] <ONE23> !help
[08:01] <igoryonya> iceroot: but -O = output document. It's outputting some kinds of documents, kind of confusing statement. is it the same as saving the url to a different file name. When I read this option "output document", I was thinking that it will download some kinds of documents from the downloaded page.
[08:01] <hiexpo> shazbotmcnasty, you get it
[08:01] <nomnex> is 1440û900 resolution screen on a notebook detected automatically on 9.10/10.04?
[08:01] <ONE23> no idea
[08:01] <iceroot> igoryonya: its downloading a file an using the filename you gave with -O filename
[08:01] <iceroot> igoryonya: its what you want
[08:02] <igoryonya> iceroot: ok, thanx
[08:02] <iceroot> nomnex: yes
[08:02] <shazbotmcnasty> hiexpo: yes
[08:02] <hiexpo> kool
[08:02] <nomnex> iceroot, thanks!
[08:03] <ONE23> who else needs help?
[08:03] <MikeyPooh> i do
[08:03] <iceroot> !lvm | MikeyPooh
[08:04] <MikeyPooh> ty
[08:04] <iceroot> MikeyPooh: the 2. link
[08:04] <MikeyPooh> is LVM Similar to DE?
[08:04] <iceroot> MikeyPooh: DE?
[08:04] <MikeyPooh> DE = Drive Extender
[08:04] <cdoublejj> i have had question for awhile that i've wondered about what is the difference between say 8.04 and 9.04?
[08:04] <iceroot> MikeyPooh: i dont know, sorry
[08:05] <Kartagis> I've abandoned firefox to get rid of my facebook video problem and the same thing started to happen in chromium :S
[08:05] <MikeyPooh> i mean does LVM put all the drives in a drive pool?
[08:05] <iceroot> cdoublejj: 8.04 is LTS, 9.04 is a normal release, ubuntu releses every 6 month a new version
[08:05] <knoppies> cdoublejj, 10
[08:05] <iceroot> !lts | cdoublejj
[08:05] <knoppies> cdoublejj, 10.04 comes out at the end of the month and will also be an LTS
[08:06] <inexistent> but you can try the beta
[08:06] <Jester05> hey guys.. anyone else have any feelings, Deluge vs Transmission for torrent clients
[08:06] <inexistent> i like transmission
[08:06] <iceroot> cdoublejj: and the ubuntu-versions mean  YEAR.MONTH, so 8.04 was release 200(8.04)
[08:06] <Jester05> I have it running on my home theater media server.. (MythTV)
[08:06] <cdoublejj> wait i put xubuntu 9.04 on a laptop for my bro and i don't want to upgrade it's only 700mhz
[08:06] <inexistent> cdoublejj, the ram matters more
[08:07] <inexistent> how much?
[08:07] <Jester05> I just configured it all to run Deluge however, I wonder what the system usage difference is between transimission and deluge
[08:07] <iceroot> cdoublejj: you dont eed to upgrade, never touch a running system
[08:07] <knoppies> if I would like to download 9.04 alternate addition, is there a place/torrent that I can use? (I cant see it listed on ubuntu.com/getubuntu)
[08:07] <cdoublejj> there is no technical difference just numbers why even put out different version if it is exactly the same
[08:07] <cdoublejj> 700mhz 384mb MAX 20gb hdd
[08:07] <iceroot> !torrents | knoppies
[08:07] <inexistent> cdoublejj, it's not the same, it's updated, newer kernel and apps
[08:08] <itguru> How can i force updates that are being held back to be installed?
[08:08] <knoppies> thanks iceroot
[08:08] <cdoublejj> so 8.0 or 7.0 wouldn't run any faster?
[08:08] <iceroot> knoppies: http://it.releases.ubuntu.com/jaunty/
[08:08] <Kartagis> !jaunty
[08:08] <cdoublejj> i mean 6.4 and 7.4
[08:08] <knoppies> thanks Kartagis
[08:08] <iceroot> cdoublejj: not always
[08:08] <inexistent> cdoublejj, get the newest one, with a lightweight WM
[08:09] <cdoublejj> i see
[08:09] <Kartagis> I helped without even knowing :D
[08:09] <iceroot> cdoublejj: try xubuntu 9.10
[08:09] <ONE23> !hacker
[08:09] <iceroot> Kartagis: :)
[08:09] <inexistent> i find xubuntu bloated
[08:09] <cdoublejj> does changing the WM break anything or is it easy to do?
[08:09] <rags> can anyone tell me a package for notwork traffic auditing? with web based interface perhaps...tools I've tried vnstat,iftop and iptraf
[08:09] <cdoublejj> 9.10 is faster?
[08:09] <iceroot> cdoublejj: you can easily install a new desktop environment
[08:09] <inexistent> cdoublejj, try crunchbang maybe
[08:10] <knoppies> rags, Im not sure if its what you looking for, but you could have a look at wireshark.
[08:10] <cdoublejj> and why doesn't the toshiba 2805 s202 have aworking floppy drive driver yet?
[08:10] <cdoublejj> i think the gfx driver robs performance too
[08:10] <iceroot> rags: vnstat
[08:10] <cdoublejj> crunchbang would help speed things up?
[08:11] <rags> knoppies: no..not sniffing packets....just a history of data transferred, by which system and the rate history...like how you have on a tomato router...I really like their graphs
[08:11] <knoppies> rags, Im not sure what your talking about, but it sounds like I would like that too. Maybe I should be taking notes.
[08:11] <inexistent> cdoublejj, yes, but the speediest will be when you'll make a minimal system yourself, that requires some knowledge
[08:11] <rags> iceroot: Vnstat gives good totals, I love that tool but I was looking for a more comprehensive report...Like how much data tx per IP
[08:12] <cdoublejj> that text only!!!
[08:12] <iceroot> rags: ifconfig
[08:12] <iceroot> rags: sorry dont know other tools than ifconfig and vnstat
[08:12] <inexistent> cdoublejj, no, dude, not necessarely, i have a debian testing with fluxbox, it's very fast
[08:12] <cdoublejj> is there any way to request the devs make drivers for certain hardware or list to add for unsupported hardware?
[08:12] <cdoublejj> i ahve heard of fluxbox
[08:12] <rags> knoppies: Vnstat and iftop are pretty good....but I was looking for a comprehensive package...
[08:13] <CQ> rags look at nethop, netstat -catnup, and maybe even ntop
[08:13] <rags> iceroot: Thx, anyway...
[08:13] <inexistent> cdoublejj, i use it on a p III 1 GHz with 128 MB RAM
[08:14] <cdoublejj> you have speed advantage
[08:14] <inexistent> ram dissadvantage
[08:14] <cdoublejj> i'm looking at the flux box here
[08:14] <inexistent> :)
[08:14] <rags> CQ: will look at nethop....I've tried ntop and it is close to what I need...but faced lot of issues with it...
[08:14] <ONE23> this will fix mostly everything sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[08:14] <knoppies> rags, on just your machine, or the whole network? because if its just your machine then conky can do some basic graphs.
[08:15] <cdoublejj> would i need to minimal install with flux box or would just switching gnome to fluxbox help too?
[08:15] <Kartagis> guys, does anybody here have problem playing facebook videos to the full length under firefox?
[08:15] <iceroot> Kartagis: no
[08:15] <CQ> I'm trying to use iptables to forward a connection to an internal FTP server and found http://www.experts-exchange.com/Security/Operating_Systems_Security/Linux/Q_23452219.html with PREROUTING and INPUT rules, and don't understand what the diff is or why I need both... can someone please explain? The manual and HOWTOs I've found don't answer my question...
[08:15] <Birmaan> morning all
[08:15] <inexistent> cdoublejj, you might try antix too
[08:15] <inexistent> it's good
[08:16] <rags> knoppies: It is for the n/w....but since I'll be running the app on the gateway, I suppose it will be local to the app...I'll try conky...
[08:16] <CQ> rags if conky is close to what you need, look at gkrellm as well
[08:17] <Kartagis> iceroot, it's strange, I can never watch fb videos to the full length under ff. I've stopped using it just to get rid of it, and the same thing started happening in chromium :S
[08:17] <cdoublejj> antix is a whole os
[08:17] <cdoublejj> this is for my brother who isn't as tech savy as me
[08:17] <cdoublejj> for office work
[08:17] <inexistent> cdoublejj, yes it is
[08:18] <rags> CQ: Thx will try it out....on the Iptables rules...the prerouting rule is required on the external gateway while the INPUT rules on your ftp server...
[08:18] <inexistent> cdoublejj, does he need openoffice?
[08:19] <inexistent> cdoublejj, you can try xubuntu, crunchbang, antix
[08:19] <Kartagis> iceroot, do you have an idea about that?
[08:19] <rags> CQ: Basically..you forward the port to your ftp server and then on the ftp server you allow ftp connections...
[08:19] <iceroot> Kartagis: sorry, no
[08:19] <cdoublejj> could i get fluxbox in the package manager would it be smart enough to disable gnome after install?
[08:19] <rags> CQ: Also make sure you have connection tracking in place....
[08:19] <CQ> rags: why doesn't the FTP server implicitly allow the FTP connection? currently it should, as I can ftp to it from the internal network already...
[08:20] <CQ> rags: connection tracking? how?
[08:20] <cdoublejj> it is now running xubuntu 9.04
[08:20] <tim> is anyone getting the 500 internal server error trying to watch a video on youtube?
[08:20] <cdoublejj> it works it does lag bad but, has some lag
[08:20] <rags> CQ: Then you don't need the rule...as long you have forwarded the port it will work...
[08:20] <cdoublejj> open office ro crossover office
[08:20] <CQ> cdoublejj: do you need to save space or CPU?
[08:20] <cdoublejj> does crossover office require a valid copy of ms office?
[08:20] <inexistent> cdoublejj, install just one WM
[08:21] <cdoublejj> i need the front end to be snappyer
[08:21] <inexistent> cdoublejj, why not openoffice?
[08:21] <cdoublejj> how do i make it disable gnome and switch to flux box>
[08:21] <CQ> cdoublejj: I have a very snappy front end, I just installed a debian box with command line only ;)
[08:21] <cdoublejj> well there are multiple employees some use open offcie
[08:22] <cdoublejj> my brother has win 7 with ms office as a main
[08:22] <inexistent> cdoublejj, from the gdm, you can select whatever you want
[08:22] <rags> CQ: wht does this say : "lsmod | grep nf_conntrack_ftp"
[08:22] <cdoublejj> open doesn't like ms some times it twist up the the documents some time the come out a little wonky
[08:22] <inexistent> cdoublejj, on a weak pc it doesn't make sense to use ms office through crossover
[08:22] <cdoublejj> it's nothing major i'll probably stick with open
[08:22] <knoppies> cdoublejj, not to mention its slow.
[08:23] <CQ> rags: right now nothing
[08:23] <tim> is anyone getting the 500 internal server error trying to watch a youtube video
[08:23] <inexistent> cdoublejj, tell them to use more PDF's
[08:23] <cdoublejj> whats gdm stand for i have seen the term when i was browsing for themes once
[08:23] <inexistent> cdoublejj, it's where you log in
[08:23] <cdoublejj> lol pdfs
[08:23] <inexistent> user, password
[08:24] <tim> and background
[08:24] <cdoublejj> okay so the gdm has controls to switch to fluxbox?
[08:24] <knoppies> cdoublejj, GDM is the Gnome Desktop Manager (I think
[08:24] <rags> CQ: hmm...Then I'm afraid you don't have the connection tracking module...not sure how to enable it..
[08:24] <cdoublejj> or i should just do more googleing
[08:24] <cdoublejj> on fluxbox install
[08:24] <tim> you can get a gdm2setup for 9.10
[08:25] <cdoublejj> wait xubnunt uses that xface windows manager
[08:25] <cdoublejj> or xfce
[08:25] <inexistent> yes
[08:25] <itguru> cdoublejj, No, your right, the new window manager will show up in gdm
[08:25] <cdoublejj> sounds like flux box would speed it up
[08:25] <cdoublejj> just not as pretty
[08:25] <inexistent> cdoublejj, the apps matter too
[08:26] <cdoublejj> what do you mean?
[08:26] <inexistent> i mean abiword instead of open office
[08:26] <CQ> rags nils@blackbox:~/installation$ sudo modprobe ip_conntrack_ftp
[08:26] <cdoublejj> you know i almost thought gnome was faster that last time i put ubuntu on one of these old laptops thought i did have really nice hdd in it too
[08:26] <inexistent> this kind of stuff
[08:27] <inexistent> maybe midori instead of firefox
[08:27] <inexistent> i can give you a list of lightweight apps
[08:27] <cdoublejj> can you clone a 20gb drive with xubuntu on a bigger drive and have it use the res of the space? or does it require manual partitioning i know how to that for the most part.
[08:27] <rags> CQ: and...did it work?
[08:28] <cdoublejj> open office does excell and power point etc that is needed
[08:28] <cdoublejj> he can use abi for regular work
[08:28] <ab> tcpdump -ippp0 -l -w- -n -s0 tcp | grep -a -o -E "Host\: .*|GET \/.*" >> /tmp/file
[08:28] <CQ> rags yup ... do I need more rules though? http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-do-i-use-iptables-connection-tracking-feature.html seems to say that to use all teh FTP features in a NAT you need more than just teh one forwarding rule to get the related passive connections etc.
[08:28] <ab> can anyone tell me why this will not save to /tmp/file?  is it the lack of an EOF?
[08:29] <moetunes> ab: you might need sudo to write to that file
[08:30] <tim> can someone please help me
[08:30] <inexistent> cdoublejj, if you have xubuntu, you have xdm, not gdm, i don't know if it supports multiple WM's
[08:30] <tim> CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME
[08:30] <inexistent> changing WM's
[08:30] <CQ> ab should be OK... does it give you an error or is the file empty? What does it do with one > ? else try | cat - >> /tmp/file
[08:30] <lajosward> I am getting a new mobo and cpu tommorrow was wondering if i will need to reinstall ubuntu or if it will convert settings automagicly
[08:31] <ab> CQ: empty.
[08:31] <cdoublejj> i don't multi WMs
[08:31] <inexistent> lajosward, the same HDD?
[08:31] <cdoublejj> just one fast one
[08:31] <lajosward> yes same hdd
[08:31] <CQ> what does it output without the >> ?
[08:31] <inexistent> lajosward, it should work
[08:31] <cdoublejj> i'm sure there is guide to replacing xfce wit fluxbox
[08:31] <lajosward> thanks
[08:31] <samuel_Sayag> Does someone know if the Criten server is down ?
[08:31] <franklin_> alguien que hable espanol?
[08:31] <franklin_> necesito ayuda
[08:31] <franklin_> con mi eclipse
[08:31] <inexistent> cdoublejj, be careful
[08:31] <franklin_> help!
[08:31] <rags> CQ: I'm not sure on this one...I suggest you try active/passive first...and passive doesn't work then add the rules...
[08:31] <CQ> franklin #ubuntu-es
[08:31] <franklin_> pero nadie responde
[08:31] <ab> CQ: same with single >.  i'll try cat - .
[08:31] <ONE23> this will fix mostly everything sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[08:32] <CQ> ab does it give you any output at all without piping at all?
[08:32] <cdoublejj> this is why i like linux it has acceptable app compatibility/alternatives and it's a nice break away from the norm and it's fun to tinker on
[08:33] <knoppies> cdoublejj, thats only the start, there is so much more to linux than anything else. Not to mention you can do more (often quicker). And the personalization is mind blowing.
[08:33] <cdoublejj> is replacing the wm some dangerous?
[08:33] <inexistent> cdoublejj, if I was you, I would simply sudo apt-get purge xubuntu-desktop
[08:33] <inexistent> :)
[08:33] <knoppies> cdoublejj, I wouldnt know.
[08:33] <CQ> cdoublejj: no. worst case you end up with a command line and have to use that to reinstall a WM
[08:34] <inexistent> and sudo apt-get install fluxbox
[08:34] <ab> CQ: just tried cat - .  nothing.  it does give output to stdout.  but redirecting to a file is not happening.
[08:34] <cdoublejj> Personaly i game so there is no alternative to windows, i have seen guides to setup gaming rigs with linux but wine doesn't support vista/7only software like halo 2
[08:34] <cdoublejj> but,
[08:34] <cdoublejj> since i have multiple computers it'sn ice to have flavor like 98se and ubuntu
[08:34] <CQ> ab does it give the output to stdout when you add the pipe? if so, it's outputting to STDERR not STDOUT
[08:35] <cdoublejj> plus on the older laptops like toshiba 2800 series ubuntu and xubuntu is great cause it is faster than win xp + anti virus
[08:35] <CQ> ab else remove teh file, or check it has 660 privileges etc.
[08:36] <cdoublejj> hahahaha cool icewm on puppy
[08:36] <cdoublejj> http://dotpups.de/dotpups/WindowManagers/Icewm-Theme-VistaBlackIV-MU.jpg
[08:37] <ab> CQ: no output when piped through cat - .  the tcpdump manpage says -w - writes to stdout.  and i believe it does.  the perms on the file are good.  there is somehting else going on.
[08:38] <inexistent> cdoublejj, you can customize your WM however you want
[08:38] <CQ> ab make the privs 777 or try sudo
[08:39] <CQ> ab or try it wirh tee (man tee)
[08:39] <ab> CQ: tried both.  no change.
[08:40] <CQ> ab does echo test >> /tmp/file work then?
[08:40] <CQ> ab then try echo test | tee /tmp/file
[08:41] <ab> CQ: tried | tee -a /tmp/file.  nothing.
[08:41] <inexistent> cdoublejj, this is mine, with fluxbox http://s881.photobucket.com/albums/ac19/x36t1/linux/?action=view&current=5.jpg
[08:41] <cdoublejj> DUDE!
[08:41] <ab> CQ: the file is writable.
[08:41] <cdoublejj> does that come in diffrent colors?
[08:42] <cdoublejj> inexistant where did you get that theme?
[08:42] <cdoublejj> it looks decent
[08:42] <CQ> ab sorry, I can't help more than that... only other thing I can think of is that it's buffered before flushing to the file or something if you see output without the pipe and not with and nothing in the file, but even then after a while something should be in the file
[08:43] <inexistent> cdoublejj, from box-look.org
[08:43] <cdoublejj> Oo
[08:43] <cdoublejj> OohhHH
[08:44] <wanghong> who can tell me,  how to update ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04?
[08:44] <ab> CQ: yep.  i thougt about buffering but the -l switch is supposed to address that.  i think it's maybe the lack of an EOF.  the stdout never gets closed.
[08:44] <ardchoille> !upgrade | wanghong
[08:45] <wanghong> thanks
[08:50] <knoppies> Im using pidgin on 9.10, with the yahoo protocol, if My message is longer than about 45 characters, it gives me the error message: "Unable to send message: The message is too large." How would I fix that (I tried adding him to my MSN protocol, but it kept bugging out), his address is rather long.
[08:51] <knoppies> all other protocols seem to work fine.
[08:53] <techitch> hi guys..i put the netbook remix on an acer revo 3600 for htpc purposes
[08:53] <Whisky`> KNetworkmanager won't work for me so I installed WICD, it let me surf WiFi but just like KNetworkManager, I can connect to WiFi but not browse the internet. What do I do?
[08:53] <techitch> however the netbook launcher process is running at 100% usage all the time
[08:54] <techitch> i've tried doing the dpkg-reconfigure on xorg however it hasnt fixed it..
[08:55] <moetunes> techitch: I thought the unr was set up with a limited h/ware scope in mind
[08:55] <whisky_> KNetworkmanager won't work for me so I installed WICD, it let me surf WiFi but just like KNetworkManager, I can connect to WiFi but not browse the internet. What do I do?
[08:55] <techitch> so u think i need to put the full ver on there?
[08:56] <whisky_> anyone? :(
[08:57] <moetunes> techitch: I am not sure about it - that's what I would check first
[08:57] <jazusa03> Cheese has very low FPS when recording on a Logitech C250 WebCam. I can't quite figure it out
[08:57] <whisky_> also, someone in here told me some command now on each reboot I get the nameservers I gave in my /etc/resolv.conf...how do I get rid of them?
[08:58] <techitch> well the revo is essentially a nettop
[08:58] <techitch> it has support for the nvidia ion gpu
[08:59] <moetunes> techitch: are you running the ion?
[09:00] <whisky_> I need help, bad :(
[09:00] <techitch> well the ion driver is installed and working..
[09:01] <moetunes> techitch: k - read the Xorg log?
[09:02] <inexistent> whisky_, do torrents work? messenger?
[09:02] <inexistent> wget?
[09:02] <inexistent> anything?
[09:02] <techitch> theres no errors in the xorg log
[09:02] <moetunes> ping?
[09:02] <whisky_> inexistent, Nothing at all!
[09:02] <neoraj> wget for downloading
[09:02] <inexistent> whisky_, tried to ping a site?
[09:02] <neoraj> any one tel me java best channel
[09:03] <cdoublejj> is amarok faster than rythm box
[09:03] <cdoublejj> i'm looking at vlc
[09:03] <whisky_> inexistent, Yes. Nothing :(
[09:03] <moetunes> techitch: I'll have a google
[09:03] <cdoublejj> some one was saying it is pretty light on a forum
[09:03] <xiven> I have been reading online..and gotten curious.
[09:03] <techitch> theres a bit in google about it..it looks like a known bug
[09:03] <inexistent> whisky_, do other laptops connected to the wireless work fine?
[09:04] <techitch> possibly an error with xorg config
[09:04] <xiven> How come Ubuntu seems to be buggy with a stable release, when there are paid employees at canonical, and a huge community of users??
[09:04] <inexistent> cdoublejj, don't use apps that depend on a DE
[09:04] <whisky_> inexistent, Yes. It works fine on this laptop too (Windows dual boot)
[09:04] <inexistent> cdoublejj, no amarok, no rhythmbox
[09:04] <xiven> Is there a lack of testers/debuggers??
[09:05] <whisky_> xiven, I'm a newbie to Linux and Google tells me 9.1 isn't as good as previous releases.
[09:05] <cdoublejj> DE?
[09:05] <inexistent> cdoublejj, try audacious, sonata, songbird
[09:06] <inexistent> de desktop environment
[09:06] <xiven> Well honestly...I've not found Ubuntu's usability to have improved much in the last 4 versions or so...
[09:06] <ardchoille> whisky_: it's 9.10 (year.month, 2009.october)
[09:06] <cdoublejj> well rythem box comes stock but, as i was saying vlc looks like a great replacement
[09:06] <xiven> But it has gotten a lot of newer features and stuff which haven't been garbage.
[09:06] <whisky_> ardchoille, Oh! Thank you!
[09:07] <ardchoille> yw
[09:07] <cdoublejj> anytime some one goes on about winamp being better than WMP just becasue i like wmp, i'm all like VLC now stfu j/k but thats how good vlc must be from what i  have read
[09:07] <whisky_> How do I get rid of nameservers that come to my /etc/resolv.conf automatically everytime I reboot? Someone in here told me to put them and now they come automatically.
[09:07] <cdoublejj> you can re sync audio on thefly
[09:07] <ardchoille> whisky_: fwiw, I have had no problems with 9.10
[09:07] <rocket16> whisky_: No, 9.10 is better than all other releases, but it has a few issues, like the Network Manager ppp problem (use Gnome-ppp), Login Screen is more or less foxed etc
[09:07] <neoraj> hello any one tell me best java channel
[09:07] <theadmin> Can someone help me with this: if [ $USER = root ] ; then stuff ; else echo "You need root priveleges". Does this look correct?
[09:07] <xiven> Ubuntu may not be the best distro for me anyhow, as even though I like open source...I am planning to start writing proprietary/commercial software for linux.
[09:08] <joaopinto> xiven, and why do you think that ?
[09:08] <inexistent> cdoublejj, mplayer is lighter than VLC
[09:08] <whisky_> rocket16,  I just can't get WiFi to work. It shows my network, connects but there's no connectivity
[09:09] <moetunes> techitch: where did you get the xorg.conf?
[09:09] <theadmin> xiven: Using FOSS does not prevent you from writing proprietary soft
[09:09] <cdoublejj> is mplayer as feature packed as vlc>
[09:09] <xiven> Well, for one...Ubuntu is very source based
[09:09] <joaopinto> xiven, just as much as any other linux distro
[09:09] <rocket16> whisky_, yes, check-out this http://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=2&ved=0CBQQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.unixnewbie.org%2Fhow-to-setup-wireless-with-ubuntu-9-10%2F&rct=j&q=Ubuntu+9.10+wifi+problem&ei=q5q5S8DLK9CwrAfo7JzECg&usg=AFQjCNHqv-sxqojOBsLIfGUivbAFHtwTgQ
[09:09] <inexistent> cdoublejj, no
[09:09] <inexistent> but it works
[09:09] <inexistent> :)
[09:09] <xiven> Fedora for example is RPM based....binary...
[09:09] <theadmin> Except those closed-source idiocies as Linux XP
[09:09] <rocket16> whisky_, I this link, the setup of Wifi is there
[09:09] <joaopinto> you are not forced to publish your work under an opensource license
[09:09] <theadmin> xiven: Uh, Ubuntu is .deb based, those are also binary packages
[09:10] <rocket16> whisky_, * In
[09:10] <joaopinto> xiven, ubuntu is not source based, is .deb based, which is equivalent to .rpm
[09:10] <cdoublejj> hhmm still thanks for heads up mplayer is another consideration
[09:10] <whisky_> rocket16, Ugh...I'm connected to the WiFi network.
[09:10] <xiven> Well in the days of Breezy Badger  it as all over that Ubuntu was a source based distro
[09:10] <neoraj> how to join for java channel
[09:10] <rocket16> whisky_, Then? What is the problem? "No connectivity", sorry, can you explain?
[09:11] <xiven> neoraj> ##java
[09:11] <joaopinto> xiven, ubuntu was never a source based distro, it is based on Debian wich uses .deb as far as I know it
[09:11] <inexistent> whisky_, try sudo dhclient3
[09:11] <xiven> Hmm
[09:11] <joaopinto> .debs are usually built from source, just as .rpms are
[09:11] <xiven> Well, good..because I like Ubuntu lol
[09:11] <theadmin> xiven: joaopinto Tells the truth.
[09:11] <costre> what about .apt's?
[09:11] <theadmin> costre: Eh? No such file extension even.
[09:12] <xiven> APT installed .deb packages..
[09:12] <theadmin> costre: APT is Advanced Package Tool, that thing which is used for repositories
[09:12] <phenom> !bluetooth
[09:12] <joaopinto> apr installed .deb packages are regular binary .deb packages
[09:12] <whisky_> rocket16, I can't browse the internet. I've played with DNS too, nothing.
[09:12] <joaopinto> apt
[09:13] <costre> theadmin, aah, I remembered seeing it on adobe's site .... there was .rpm, .deb, and APT :)
[09:13] <costre> not .apt
[09:13] <phenom> Ok, bluetooth was working fine: installed wifi  drivers: bluetooth doesn't work, not does ubuntu identify the built in bluetooth device. Any ideas?
[09:14] <phenom> not = nor
[09:14] <cdoublejj> is DE codecs?
[09:14] <techitch> hmm i think my issue maybe to do with xorg.conf setup
[09:14] <rocket16> whisky_, Sorry, I am afraid, I cannot help much here, since I use Photon Plus connections, not WiFi, :(
[09:14] <techitch> theres hardly anything in there
[09:14] <schone> is there a way to recursively change the chmod of files only?
[09:14] <xiven> Well, I am going to kind of mix open source with proprietary..meaning, I will not open the source up to a million downloads an hour...however, I will let other developers join if they would like. And, if developers create a true derivative or seperate software from mine, they may release it as their own...even if it means completely open source
[09:14] <inexistent> whisky_, what kind of wifi card do you have?
[09:14] <theadmin> schone: find directory -exec chmod 777 {} \; - something like that
[09:14] <moetunes> techitch: try  Xorg -configure   and read the file to see if it is better
[09:14] <theadmin> schone: Oops
[09:15] <rocket16> schone: Hm, won't "chmod +x *.*" work?
[09:15] <theadmin> schone: find directory -type f -exec chmod 777 {} \;
[09:15] <whisky_> rocket16, No problem :)
[09:15] <xiven> I don't want someone changing the interface to a program I made, and giving it away soon after I release it. If I wasn't concerned about that, I might even release software completely open.
[09:15] <rocket16> whisky_, Thanks, :)
[09:15] <schone> theadmin: that doesn't seem to work
[09:15] <whisky_> inexistent, Intel 3945. I've installed Windows drivers using ndiswrapper
[09:16] <theadmin> schone: Well, technically it should but replace 777 with permission set you need
[09:16] <inexistent> whisky_, doesn't it work natively?
[09:16] <neoraj> what is karmic koala
[09:17] <theadmin> schone: For instance, this will make all files (not folders) in /var/www accessible by owner only: find /var/www -type f -exec chmod 700 {} \;
[09:17] <whisky_> inexistent, I was having trouble with it
[09:17] <schone> theadmin: yer im actually on busybox not ubuntu but though the same command would work
[09:17] <theadmin> neoraj: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10
[09:17] <inexistent> whisky_, did you try sudo dhclient3?
[09:17] <theadmin> schone: Shell mighta eat {}. You might need to escape that (as \{\})
[09:18] <neoraj> theadmin: thanks
[09:18] <whisky_> inexistent, No. But it connects fine, I get an IP address and everything, too12
[09:18] <whisky_> !*
[09:19] <whisky_> inexistent, did the sudo dhclient3
[09:19] <inexistent> anything strange?
[09:19] <whisky_> noop
[09:19] <whisky_> let me try Wifi, hang on
[09:20] <whisky_> Wifi just won't work!
[09:20] <inexistent> i see
[09:20] <inexistent> well, did you try it on other networks?
[09:21]  * theadmin has to leave now. Good luck everyone.
[09:21] <inexistent> i think it's the driver
[09:21] <whisky_> I only have 1
[09:21] <inexistent> ok
[09:21] <whisky_> inexistent, if it's the driver, why is it connecting fine? :S
[09:21] <inexistent> :)
[09:21] <inexistent> i don't know
[09:21] <Guest444> :)
[09:22] <whisky_> Intel is now offering a Linux driver for my WiFi, let me try that :/
[09:24] <techitch> hmm if i drop the resolution down to 1024x768 netbook launcher goes to 40% rather than 100% which makes me thing its doing some kind of software rendering..
[09:24] <Joker_-_> anyone here uses/knows a bit about ampache?
[09:24] <Joker_-_> I'm on #ampache but theres not much happening there...
[09:26] <xiven> Is there anyone that actually sells gnome themes and that type of stuff?
[09:26] <hmw> I can't fullscreen on youtube anymore - it opens the screen and closes it immediately after. Please help
[09:26] <clifford> hi i am new to linux and ubuntu and i am trying to install a printer driver can someone help me
[09:26] <ardchoille> xiven: I've been designing gnome themes for years and never seen anyone selling them
[09:26] <Joker_-_> xiven: is that a question as in "you wanna buy one" ?
[09:26] <hmw> it happens in epiphany as also in firefox
[09:26] <xiven> I was merely curious
[09:27] <Joker_-_> xiven: never eard of it

[09:27] <Joker_-_> clifford: printer drivers... The only way I get around that is with cups
[09:28] <Joker_-_> clifford: it's pretty straight forward
[09:28] <inexistent> clifford, what kind of printer?

[09:30] <xiven> Why do people use all this software within firefox...
[09:31] <inexistent> :) chatzilla
[09:31] <lajosward> I'm wondering if Ubuntu is backwards compatible with  previous version apps
[09:32] <xiven> It makes Firefox use up a lot more memory. And, from my observations, its more memory then what would be used by a regular application.
[09:32] <inexistent> yep
[09:32] <inexistent> true
[09:32] <clifford> inexistent, yes ive been there and followed instructions but i get the error 'dpkg: operation requires read/write access to dpkg status area'
[09:32] <inexistent> i used meebo and it used way more memory than bitlbee, for example
[09:32] <xiven> I like Firefox, but its easy to turn it into a memory hog..and it does like to freeze for 3 seconds, to five minutes more then preferrable.
[09:33] <ManDay> The GNOME Panel keeps blocking my COMPIZ edge bindings!
[09:33] <ManDay> anyone know a fix? known bug?
[09:33]  * XuMuK says Hi there
[09:33] <techitch> odd
[09:33] <inexistent> clifford, you should use sudo dpkg ....
[09:33] <techitch> i just turned on compiz and now the usage has gone down
[09:33] <techitch> obviously forced it to use hw somehow
[09:34] <lajosward> ok if someone answered my backwards compatabilty question i got disconnected
[09:34] <ardchoille> !nick > No14Day
[09:34] <clifford> inexistent, brand new to linux could you be a little more specific
[09:35] <xiven> Maybe I have too much windows in me still, heh. I'd like to start fixing bugs and/or improving/creating software...but I need to have my time profitable as well.
[09:35] <mankeletor> *XuMuK, hey
[09:35] <inexistent> clifford, well, if you downloaded the driver, and it is .deb, you should "sudo dpkg -i /path/to/driver.deb"
[09:36] <clifford> got that
[09:36] <xiven> I don't think donations would pay for my time well enough to use that method...
[09:37] <mkanyicy> clifford, 'sudo gdebi package-name.deb' works as well
[09:37] <inexistent> clifford, look here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters/BrotherPrinters/2070NLaser
[09:38] <inexistent> clifford, i like hp printers, they are usually supported out of the box

[09:39] <mkanyicy> hi guys, I cant figure out how to put a picture at the bottom of a compiz 3d cube using ccsm. anyone knows how to do this?
[09:40] <inexistent> clifford, look here too, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrintersBrother

[09:41] <mi6> mkanyicy, systme i see but not administration or preferences
[09:42] <mi6> jes, i did it hundret times before, i just cant remeber how i did it
[09:42] <costre> mi6 Not system tools in the main menu, the system-tab

[09:43] <lajosward> wrong chat beer

[09:44] <beer> lajosward: is this not the ubuntu channel?
[09:44] <beer> where is the right chat?
[09:44] <lajosward> its not a lucid channel tho
[09:44] <mkanyicy> beer, this is an ubuntu channel
[09:45] <beer> so it is wrong to ask question about ubuntu in the ubuntu channel
[09:45] <lajosward> #ubuntu+1
[09:45] <mkanyicy> beer, lucid is not yet released so it is discussed in a separate channel
[09:45] <lajosward> that channel is for lucid support
[09:45] <beer> ok
[09:46] <lajosward> sorry if i came across harsh
[09:46] <beer> np
[09:46] <lajosward> wasn't meant that way

[09:56] <Curly_Q> Hey folks, anything interesting on Red Hat Linux these days besides Enterprise?
[09:57] <AAA_awright> Some process named trackerd just took up 100% of my CPU thrashing the hard drive, all of my memory, the Linux kernel killed my firefox process because of it, and I'm not very happy at Ubuntu right now. Why was a process running without my permission?
[09:57] <costre> Curly_Q, From #redhat , All versions of Red Hat Linux are end-of-lifed
[09:57] <lajosward> what channel would i go to to ask about ubuntu apps?
[09:57] <Curly_Q> Really.   Interesting.
[09:58] <inexistent> Curly_Q, yeah, fedora is interesting
[09:58] <Curly_Q> I did like Red Hat 9 version.
[09:58] <ardchoille> !ot
[09:59] <Curly_Q> What is special about Fedora versus Ubuntu?
[09:59] <ardchoille> !ot | Curly_Q
[09:59] <inexistent> Curly_Q, don't start
[09:59] <neoraj> java channel
[09:59] <Seveas> #java
[09:59] <inexistent> Curly_Q, if you liked RedHat. try Fedora
[10:00] <inexistent> it's the same
[10:00] <Curly_Q> I've got Ubottu climbing down my back now.   :)
[10:00] <ardchoille> Please take the Red Hat/Fedora chat to another channel
[10:00] <Curly_Q> lol
[10:00] <AAA_awright> What is this trackerd process, why was it running without my permission, and why did it take up all of my CPU and memory?
[10:01] <mi6> mkanyicy, yes it is thanks for help
[10:01] <circuitman> how to do voice and video chat using pigdin
[10:01] <circuitman> hi friends i want to do voice and video chat using pigdin instant messenger.please tell me if this is possible
[10:01] <ardchoille> circuitman: I think you're better off with empathy for that. not sure pidgin does voice/video
[10:01] <tuxuser_> AAA_awright: this might get you started http://projects.gnome.org/tracker/
[10:03] <AAA_awright> Hmm, I think I have had this problem before, yes, that's it, what happened there? The UI was very unresponsive for 15 minutes too, that I think was new
[10:03] <montitofe> hello here
[10:04] <Seveas> AAA_awright, trackerd is the tracker indexing daemon. If you just installed your system, just installed tracker on your ssystem or just added a whole lot of files, it will need to inspect a lot of files
[10:04] <Seveas> nasty sideeffect is high cpu and io usage
[10:04] <AAA_awright> No kidding
[10:04] <Seveas> Once it's done indexing, that goes away
[10:04] <eveningsky> my wireless card is in the list of supported cards but is not working.
[10:04] <tuxuser_> AAA_awright: tried nice()ing it up with top ?
[10:05] <AAA_awright> I couldn't even Ctrl+Alt+F1 and start a new bash session in time, it was that unresponsive
[10:05] <eveningsky> Intel Wireless/Pro 5100
[10:05] <eveningsky> Ubuntu Studio 9.10

[10:08] <costre> I just realized one thing that bothers me in Ubuntu, the sound drivers. I can't listen to flash audio in firefox if I have mplayer open using sound. The flash will stall. I doubt there is a quickfix for this?
[10:09] <tuxuser_> costre: why would you have two audio streams running at the same time ? :-)
[10:09] <eveningsky> costre, sounds like a small problem that needs a big fix
[10:10] <eveningsky> costre, but  I can see times that might be important
[10:11] <eveningsky> costre, you might get some help from Jack
[10:11] <eveningsky> that's an app, not a person

[10:20] <cousin_mario> hello
[10:20] <e3hcl> hi sevas
[10:20] <eveningsky> gimme, I was just reading about that while installing my sys. That is the reason it defaults ext instead of xls. I'm no expert, but what I read did not sound promising.
[10:20] <cousin_mario> what is the current way to enable/disable services on startup?
[10:20] <Seveas> cousin_mario, using update-rc.d
[10:21] <gimme> eveningsky : those are xls files
[10:21] <llutz> cousin_mario: sysv-rc-conf
[10:21] <cousin_mario> update-rc.d worked, thanks
[10:21] <eveningsky> oh
[10:22] <gimme> can anyone help me to recover my xls files
[10:22] <hotxboy1S> when will 10.04 release?
[10:22] <llutz> cousin_mario: until next update of disabled packages
[10:22] <cousin_mario> llutz: which method is the recommended one?
[10:22] <Seveas> hotxboy1S, end of the month
[10:22] <Seveas> 29th of april
[10:22] <cousin_mario> llutz: what do you mean?
[10:22] <llutz> cousin_mario: services disabled with update-rc.d will be reenabled if the package gets an update
[10:22] <cousin_mario> llutz: oh
[10:22] <hotxboy1S> seveas: will it include acpi fix?
[10:22] <cousin_mario> thanks
[10:23] <Seveas> hotxboy1S, it includes many fixes.
[10:23] <llutz> cousin_mario: thats why i prefer sysc-rc-conf
[10:23] <Remmaze> ok done, thanx guys!
[10:23] <cousin_mario> llutz: where do I find that command?
[10:23] <cousin_mario> what package?
[10:23] <Seveas> llutz, err, it doesn't matter how you disable a service. A package update will reenable it anyway
[10:23] <llutz> cousin_mario: sysv-rc-conf
[10:23] <hotxboy1S> my laptop cannot adjust brightness, seems caused by KMS.
[10:24] <llutz> Seveas: nope, sysv-rc-conf  sets it to "Kxx-service" and it will stay disabled after updtes
[10:24] <llutz> Seveas: read man update-rc.d why this is recommended
[10:24] <hotxboy1S> seveas: who r u?
[10:25] <Seveas> llutz, ah, evil
[10:25] <cousin_mario> llutz: what about the daemons using upstart?
[10:25] <llutz> cousin_mario: no idea, sorry

[11:22] <Jester05> brontosaurusrex, no.. just transmission
[11:22] <Jester05> tried to set up deluge but for w/e reason it wouldn't run right at all
[11:22] <Jester05> not even close to right..
[11:22] <Jester05> I think it may have to do w/ a version issue
[11:22] <rocket16> My RAM of old Laptop is 512 MB, but in System-Monitor it shows it to be 489.2 MB as Total. Does this mean that it is used up by some hidden process?

[11:23] <tumii> what should i do? i try to open pSX 1.13 and it says this "(pSX:4263): GdkGLExt-WARNING **: Cannot open \u0008\x8c\u001c
[11:23] <tumii> L.so"
[11:23] <rocket16> And My Laptop is getting more and more slower, :( I disabled all effects, use nothing like AWN, Compiz or Applets etc., and just use a custom theme.
[11:24] <Jester05> brontosaurusrex, I can ssh into it and control it via command (if i'm on the local network I can even use the gui), but currently controlling via web
[11:24] <Jester05> brontosaurusrex, whats rtorrent like
[11:24] <Jester05> does it do email notification when a torrent is done?
[11:24] <brontosaurusrex> rtorrent is ncurses, i just use it via ssh, dunno about mail
[11:25] <Jester05> ohh
[11:25] <Jester05> I liked deluge b/c it was great for notification options but too much hassle for me currently
[11:26] <Jester05> this is just a temporary home theater media server configuration to begin with lol

[11:28] <Jester05> I think I'm going to create a virtual install just for testing rather than using my main pc for testing lol
[11:29] <brontosaurusrex> Jester05: for rtorrent? no need imho, but as you wish
[11:29] <Arti> Hi to all
[11:29] <Jester05> brontosaurusrex, haha no not for rtorrent, only.. lol  I've been doing a lot of testing lately
[11:30] <Jester05> it'd be nice to just have a partition I can throw away when it stops working
[11:30] <Arti> i have some problem trying to update my ubuntu,here is report of sudo apt-get update   http://paste.ubuntu.com/409441/
[11:30] <brontosaurusrex> certainly, virtualboxes are great for that
[11:30] <PirateGuru> any suggestions on which Distribution to go for a OVH server ?
[11:30] <Jester05> since I'm running mythbuntu on all of my MythTV boxes it'd be nice to have a virtual myth install to test w/
[11:31] <PirateGuru> 8.04 or 8.10 ?
[11:31] <FlippY> :)
[11:32] <FlippY> take the blue pill PirateGuru
[11:32] <FlippY> :)
[11:32] <PirateGuru> blue pill ?
[11:33] <WeeJeWel> is there a way to install windows 7 ON usb?
[11:33] <LawG> need help with installing nvidia drivers
[11:33] <tumii> WeeJeWel yes, but maybe not on this channel? :p
[11:33] <FlippY> PirateGuru: imho 8.04 is nice, but really at the end of it's lifetime
[11:33] <WeeJeWel> tumii, there is no windows channel where intelligent people chat :))
[11:34] <FlippY> only a couple of weeks and the new lts is available? anyone know when?
[11:34] <psycho_oreos> !offtopic | WeeJeWel
[11:34] <Daniturn> whats the room for the new ubuntu 10.04
[11:34] <Arti> LawG: go to system-administartion -hardver drives
[11:34] <psycho_oreos> Daniturn, #ubuntu+1
[11:34] <Daniturn> thanks
[11:34] <tumii> WeeJeWel: well, I used to know how to do this (I did it many many times to my old netbook but i don't have it anymore), but I used WinSetupFromUSB (or similiar) though it's probably just windows-based program
[11:35] <WeeJeWel> tumii, i want to install to usb, not from, but w/e..
[11:35] <LawG> Arti:  Thank you
[11:35] <FlippY> WeeJeWel: bartpe ?
[11:35] <tumii> WeeJeWel: ah to  usb, just select the USB drive when installing it?
[11:35] <Arti> LawG: uw
[11:36] <WeeJeWel> If it only was that simple.. and bartpe does not support bluetooth i believe
[11:36] <atlee> hello everyone
[11:36] <Guest38319> hi guys, i'd need some help regarding 'virtualbox', im trying to use some of my old dos games, made the virtalbox work with dos, but i have no idea whatosever , how can i access them through it, can anyone help me out?
[11:36] <tumii> Hello atlee
[11:36] <atlee> so whats with nvidia and plymouthd
[11:37] <psycho_oreos> Guest38319, why not try something like dosbox?
[11:37] <Dr4g> Hey guys i'm on LAMP (ubuntu) i want to be able to dispatch mail out just using PHP's mail() function - What should i be researching to install
[11:37] <Dr4g> Sendmail? Postfix ? I'm not sure.
[11:37] <atlee> seems to be a major ongoing problem
[11:37] <FlippY> WeeJeWel: highly inefficient, but mabe vmware esx on a flash drive and a virtual machine? :)
[11:37] <Guest38319> its soundt not working correctly, and if i want to use my mouse with it, i cant access the other part of my screen with the mouse unless i quit dosbox
[11:37] <Daniturn> this room is the only one talking lol
[11:37] <tumii> I tried to install ePSXe 1.60 with this guide http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=612021 and I got this http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/409443/
[11:37] <WeeJeWel> flippy, i just need to enable onboard bluetooth, so vmware is a no go im afraid :)
[11:38] <paul3333> hi, can anyone tell me how to install ttf fonts to wine 1.1 ?
[11:38] <Guest38319> any ideas psycho_oreos ?
[11:38] <atlee> why would you use win emulation?
[11:38] <Daniturn> i was wondering as #ubuntu+1 aint talking if atheros wireless adapters are supported in 10.04
[11:38] <atlee> wine?
[11:38] <hotxboy1S> On dirait que les KMS a causûˋ
[11:38] <atlee> daniturn yes they are
[11:38] <FlippY> wine? eh just double click it :)
[11:38] <Daniturn> are they in 9.10
[11:38] <atlee> yes
[11:38] <tumii> I tried to install ePSXe 1.60 with this guide http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=612021 and I got this http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/409443/ What to do?
[11:39] <atlee> im using atheros 2413 ar5005
[11:39] <paul3333> because I need to run forefront true pianos, and it's running, just no fonts are being displayed, so any clues?
[11:39] <Daniturn> well how come mine isnt detected
[11:39] <atlee> go on atheros site and find a driver
[11:39] <FlippY> tumii: http://lmgtfy.com/
[11:39] <JEEBcz> paul3333, doesn't the usual way work? As in copying the ttf files to a folder .fonts (dot-fonts) in your own home folder (create it if isn't there) and run fc-cache -f :3
[11:39] <Daniturn> for ubuntu
[11:39] <atlee> paul why not run the software natively?
[11:40] <atlee> daniturn whats the chipset model?
[11:40] <paul3333> JEEBcz : create the .fonts folder in the wine root?
[11:40] <JEEBcz> paul3333, nah -- the fonts become available usually when you have them installed in the system
[11:41] <JEEBcz> so it's your /home/username/ folder :3
[11:41] <Daniturn> atheros AR5007EG wireless network adaptor
[11:41] <ubunth> just installed 10.4 beta 1 with wubi, but it hands on a black screen with a cursor on left after reboot.   known bug?
[11:41] <atlee> ar5007 def is supported
[11:41] <paul3333> JEEBcz : that makes them available in wine too?
[11:41] <JEEBcz> paul3333, usually yes
[11:41] <paul3333> alright, i'll give it a try
[11:42] <paul3333> thanks
[11:42] <Daniturn> supported in 9.10 because it dont allow me do anythin with wireless
[11:42] <JEEBcz> ubunth, -> #ubuntu+1 would be the right place for that, but I recommend that you try the daily cd images instead of the beta, since the beta is already quite old :3
[11:42] <atlee> Daniturn try this for more info http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789824
[11:43] <ubunth> thx
[11:43] <atlee> dani but change the package file to the latest as that tut is dated 08
[11:45] <Daniturn> what package file
[11:47] <Daniturn> atlee what package file
[11:48] <PirateGuru> ji rob_p
[11:48] <Robinux> hey m8
[11:48] <Robinux> :D
[11:48] <PirateGuru> Hi robinux
[11:50] <lalalol> who plays on tetrisfriends?
[11:50] <brontosaurusrex> is there a 'find' replacement for dummies? (something that wouldnt use regex i wish)
[11:50] <C-S-B-N900> gedit has a find replace option
[11:50] <C-S-B-N900> but regex is easy.
[11:51] <brontosaurusrex> i meant for a file search
[11:51] <brontosaurusrex> but it seems like : 'find ./ -name *something*' is actually working fine
[11:52] <atlee> DANI follow this guide http://svn.madwifi-project.org/madwifi/branches/
[11:52] <fastijum> brontosaurusrex: whatãs wrong with regex, why do you need not to use it?
[11:52] <atlee> sorry this one http://www.ubuntugeek.com/new-madwifi-now-supports-ar2425-in-madwifi-trunk-branch.html
[11:52] <atlee> ar2425 is ar5007
[11:52] <quarkup> brontosaurusrex: use grep
[11:52] <brontosaurusrex> fastijum: i'd just prefer a simple command like 'searchfile partofstring'
[11:52] <hotxboy1S> no 2-finger scroll
[11:53] <atlee> does anyone web program in linux or macosx is the go or windows?
[11:53] <lalalol> !offtopic
[11:53] <quarkup> grep * -s -e "part-of-string"
[11:53] <quarkup> atlee: linux is easier than windows imo
[11:53] <fastijum> brontosaurusrex: as you just found out, *partofstring* works just fine
[11:53] <atlee> web programming?
[11:53] <quarkup> you can install a web server in linux and edit files easier in real time
[11:54] <brontosaurusrex> fastijum: yes, thats good enough
[11:54] <quarkup> in windows i think you really need to get some things configured and check firewalls and etc...
[11:54] <atlee> im looking for a WYSIWYG web coder software for linux
[11:54] <quarkup> that may be harder
[11:54] <atlee> lol
[11:54] <rocket16> Can swf files be converted to Ubuntu binaries like .exes?
[11:54] <quarkup> i usually use vim xD
[11:55] <quarkup> rocket16: swf files are not binaries
[11:55] <atlee> i could text edit but it doesnt highlight the coded brackets
[11:55] <quarkup> atlee: it can
[11:55] <quarkup> wait a moment
[11:55] <Daniturn> what on earth does this mean Extract the tarball and go to the scripts folder and in a terminal  execute this 2 scripts as root (you can use ãsudo suã before to avoid  writing sudo before each line):
[11:55] <rocket16> quarkup, Yes, but they can be converted to .exe, like than anything in Ubuntu?
[11:56] <rocket16> quarkup, I mean, something which we can play using ./filename command? Natively without any player?
[11:57] <Daniturn> im new and completely confused by the linux language used
[11:57] <quarkup> atlee: edit your vimrc file (probably /etc/vimrc or ~/.vimrc) and add the following: "syntax on" and "set hlsearch" and "set autoindent" and if you also want: "set number" )
[11:57] <jdv> Hi, I've followed all the guides from ubuntu documentation but I still can't successfully sync my iphone 3gs with ubuntu karmic.. can anyone help please?
[11:57] <quarkup> rocket16: no way it is just like in windows
[11:58] <brontosaurusrex> atlee: its not WSIWUG, but some say 'geany' is a nice ide
[11:58] <atlee> im very new in the 9.10, 10.04 scene, i hadnt seen ubuntu since 6.04 i think lol
[11:58] <Daniturn> i want a step help not 3 steps together and not knowing what on earth to do
[11:58] <quarkup> in windows it opens the browser with the url to that swf
[11:58] <jdv> I cant seem to find my mount point for iphone even though it is mounted with icon on desktop :(
[11:59] <quarkup> you could say to your WM (kde/gnome/etc) to open those files with the browser.. just that
[11:59] <atlee> i will save that info thanks
[11:59] <brontosaurusrex> Daniturn: it means to unpack the file somewhere (tarball is like a zip), then open the terminal and go to somewhere and then install with this su sudo stuff
[11:59] <erUSUL> jdv: cat /proc/mounts should show you where is mounted ...
[11:59] <quarkup> brontosaurusrex: alias rsearch='grep * -s -r -e '
[11:59] <quarkup> that is recursive
[11:59] <atlee> dani suppose to use #ubuntu-offtopic for support people in here might get upset
[11:59] <quarkup> like find
[12:00] <quarkup> then just use "rsearch xpto" to search (recursively) xpto
[12:00] <brontosaurusrex> quarkup: and it will go from current dir down ... or?
[12:00] <quarkup> add that line to the ~/.bashrc
[12:00] <quarkup> yes
[12:00] <quarkup> its like
[12:00] <jdv> erUSUL thanks, I see a gvfs-fuse-daemon entry, I guess thats it..
[12:00] <brontosaurusrex> quarkup: cool
[12:00] <atlee> dani its not too hard to pick up terminal slang if you see terminal stuff daily
[12:00] <quarkup> search the directories 1 by 1 i think
[12:00] <quarkup> it will not start in the current folder i guess
[12:00] <erUSUL> jdv: the it is in ~/.gvfs/ (if you want t reach it by terminal)
[12:01] <quarkup> it checks files and folders by the lexical order (a-z)
[12:01] <quarkup> afaik
[12:01] <jdv> When I tell this to gtkpod it says can;t create the directory structure in there, and if I run gtkpod as root it wont let me do anything at all (like its broken)
[12:02] <quarkup> anyway, i use both the search (which is an alias to grep * -s -e) and rsearch wich is the same but with the -r flag for recursiveness
[12:02] <atlee> back soon, logging into ubuntu
[12:02] <brontosaurusrex> quarkup: the alt would be to make a lil bash from : find ./ -name *string*
[12:02] <quarkup> oh wait
[12:03] <quarkup> sorry
[12:03] <quarkup> i misunderstood you
[12:03] <jdv> erUSUL Ah! It needs to be ~/.gvfs/"name of iphone"/  although now I get import database failed lol
[12:03] <quarkup> search and rsearch will check what is inside of files
[12:03] <quarkup> but you can do
[12:03] <quarkup> find . | grep -e
[12:03] <erUSUL> jdv: not familiar with iphones/ipods sorry
[12:03] <erUSUL> !ipod
[12:03] <jdv> erUSUL thanks for your help though.
[12:04] <jdv> Yea, followed that all to the letter :/
[12:04] <quarkup> that is pretty much the same you want by using the find ./ -name *string* and with regexp (grep uses reg expressions)
[12:04] <artanis^> Any have a hint on why Office 2007 installer in wine don't do any progress. Have installed components from winetricks shell script.
[12:05] <quarkup> alias ds='find . | grep -s -e '
[12:05] <artanis^> seams like it  loops and outputs "fixme:xrender:X11DRV_AlphaBlend not a dibsection"
[12:05] <quarkup> brontosaurusrex: use this definition above, it will use regexp and do exactly the same as find
[12:05] <IdleOne> artanis^: #winehq may be better place to ask
[12:05] <MoLE_> !wine
[12:06] <brontosaurusrex> quarkup: let me try
[12:06] <Siroma> #ubuntu-fr-jeux
[12:06] <Siroma> #ubuntu-fr-jeux
[12:06] <rocket16> Hm, one thing I found is that, with Wine Installed, any .exe file can be run with "./filename.exe" command, if it runs in wine. IS there any major advantage in doing it?
[12:07] <Siroma> #irc.freenode.org
[12:07] <brontosaurusrex> quarkup: very nice, it finds folder + files and it also colors the parts of the string
[12:07] <erUSUL> Siroma: /join #ubuntu-fr-jeux
[12:07] <artanis^> IdleOne; ill try that. Thanks.
[12:07] <Siroma> Thank
[12:07] <quarkup> brontosaurusrex: well you can also change the color of the string found
[12:07] <jdv> erUSUL - FYI, for some reason, allowing gtpod to get at least that far, now allows rhytmbox to use and see the iphone :/ I guess, gtkpod created the dir structure which is good enough for rthmybox so it seems to be working
[12:08] <erUSUL> !yay
[12:08] <Guest70425> !kernel
[12:08] <quarkup> just add to the ~/.bashrc the following:  export GREP_COLOR="1;32"
[12:08] <quarkup> that is an example
[12:09] <quarkup> check colors in bash here::  http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prompt-HOWTO/x329.html
[12:09] <rocket16> This Firefox is really taking a lot of memory, :(
[12:10] <brontosaurusrex> quarkup: any way to ignore case as well?
[12:10] <rocket16> Is Opera faster in Ubuntu to firefox?
[12:10]  * rocket16 is waiting
[12:11] <jdv> sigh, can recognise iphone but cant write anything to it and get no error.
[12:11] <quarkup> brontosaurusrex: its the -i flag or --ignore-case , but you should check the grep manpage :: man grep
[12:11] <quarkup> use the /
[12:11] <quarkup> to search
[12:11] <rocket16> Can .exe files be converted to Ubuntu binaries?
[12:11] <quarkup> like /ignore
[12:11] <Slart> rocket16: not generally, no
[12:11] <quarkup> rocket16: no
[12:12] <brontosaurusrex> quarkup: ok, checking man
[12:12] <Slart> rocket16: you can use wine to run some windows executables though.. or virtualbox..
[12:12] <quarkup> unless you can successfully decompile those .exe (windows) binaries and then compile them in linux.
[12:12] <quarkup> and you will need to change some stuff
[12:12] <rocket16> quarkup, Slart Ok, I am using Wine, and surprisingly it can run .exes with "./a.exe" command,
[12:12] <quarkup> i guess nobody did that
[12:13] <quarkup> rocket16: its not native
[12:13] <quarkup> you are using a layer
[12:13] <quarkup> its "wine"
[12:13] <rocket16> quarkup, Yes, that's right,
[12:13] <quarkup> if you do sudo aptitude remove wine
[12:13] <Slart> rocket16: that doesn't make it a ubuntu binary.. it just means you're running it through wine
[12:13] <quarkup> then you will not be able to do it
[12:14] <rocket16> Slart, quarkup Yes, I know that. Just wanted to know, if this is faster to "wine a.exe" command, and wanted to find a procedure to make binaries from exex
[12:14] <Ahrak> rocket16: look at midori or chromium, i think opera is not a usefull browser
[12:14] <quarkup> opera is great
[12:14] <rocket16> Ahrak, Ok, but it is faster
[12:14] <quarkup> opera is somehow as fast as chromium
[12:15] <rocket16> I think, Opera might be faster to Firefox
[12:15] <Slart> rocket16: it's probably exactly the same.. wine someprogram.exe   or ./someprogram.exe   both end up being run through wine
[12:15] <quarkup> buts very nice on the windows 7
[12:15] <quarkup> yup
[12:15] <rocket16> Slart, Ok,
[12:15] <quarkup> arora is also very fast
[12:15] <brontosaurusrex> quarkup: ok, this seems to be working 'alias easyfind='find . | grep -i -s -e ''
[12:15] <Slart> I like chrome.. feels a bit snappier than my firefox.. although I suppose firefox without extensions might be faster as well
[12:15] <rocket16> qrarkup, but is it fully supported in the web? Like Gmail etc.?
[12:15] <quarkup> brontosaurusrex: well okay, check the manual if you need
[12:16] <quarkup> gotta go
[12:16] <zongo_> hi guys
[12:16] <researcher1> Where can I learn tutorials for different server settings?
[12:18] <KiiK> use SSH connect to ubuntu.  after type username. it wait so login to password input. so to solve it.
[12:18] <Slart> researcher1: "server settings"? What kind of settings? web servers? mail servers? ftp servers?
[12:19] <Slart> KiiK: this might be worth reading http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-security-4/delay-ssh-login-431485/
[12:20] <Feryl> Hi, which IRC client do you guys use ? Trying to find one that suits me
[12:21] <jdv> I use lostIRC
[12:21] <meco> I need help restoring my screen settings. A person has been changing something so that everything is enlarged at least four or five times. When I now move the mouse both the mouse pointer AND the screen moves, in opposite directions.
[12:21] <IdleOne> Feryl: there is xchat and irssi also quasell and others
[12:22] <meco> I use Konversation. I haven't used it a lot, but I have no quarrels with it.
[12:22] <Feryl> using xchat at the moment (used mIRc mostly on windows) just wondering what else is out there :) thanks all
[12:22] <Slart> Feryl: irssi for me

[12:23] <sala> hi,i've connected my pc to my tv (vga) if i reboot i can see the ubuntu logo then i don't see anything, if i connect the vga to my lcd and then i plug again the vga into the television i can see again what can i do to avoid this problem?
[12:24] <sala> anyone?
[12:25] <Am1ne> is there a way to access a protected directory by sudo without being the owner ? example : sudo cd /var/log/squid ?
[12:26] <Craig_Dem> Sudo su then cd /var/log/squid ?
[12:26] <Am1ne> hmm ok I'll try
[12:26] <Craig_Dem> That would put you as root. I think all the root directories are readonly unless oyu are root.
[12:27] <Slart> Craig_Dem, Am1ne: I think   sudo -i   is preferred over sudo su. I'm not really sure why, though
[12:28] <erUSUL> Am1ne: cd  is a shell built in so that wont work
[12:28] <erUSUL> !rootshell | Am1ne Craig_Dem
[12:28] <Am1ne> Craig_Dem, yes true ! but it doesn't work ! when I type : sudo su -c "cd /var/log/squid/".. it still in the same directory !
[12:28] <Craig_Dem> Wow. I've been using sudo su since I started using linux.
[12:28] <Craig_Dem> Nothings broke yet
[12:28] <Craig_Dem> Nothing has*
[12:30] <netech> why would you use 'sudo su'? isn't one or the other sufficient?
[12:31] <meco> Can someone help me restoring my screen size?
[12:31] <KiiK> Slart: Thanks. solved.
[12:31] <Slart> netech: sudo only runs the following command as root.. su gives you a root terminal
[12:32] <artanis^> But you can't su without sudo :)
[12:32] <netech> ah, that's an ubuntu "feature"
[12:32] <Slart> netech: some things are easier in a root terminal.. redirection for example.. things like  "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" doesn't work with sudo.. since only "echo" is run as root.. not he redirection
[12:33] <netech> Slart: that wasn't the question. but thanks for the extra clarification.
[12:33] <Slart> netech: just to signify the difference between sudo and su =)
