[00:01] <meowbuntu> anyone know openoffice how to set nz english dictionary to be default it always comes up with usa when i spell check.
[00:01] <meowbuntu> ^ i have set to NZ english in settings but dictionary is not y
[00:01] <preecher> if i do the port forwarding thing can i be able to log in from anywhere?
[00:01] <TwoD> Why would Gedit suddenly hide all my .inc and .module files? I've got no filters on...
[00:01] <Bridge|> anyone know in vi is there a way to completely clear the line ur on and make it show it extracts that line as well(1 less line in document)??
[00:02] <abo> dd
[00:02] <Seveas> preecher, yes
[00:02] <abo> Bridgel, type dd
[00:02] <Bridge|> ok i'll try
[00:02] <trism> fdsa_: unfortunately, from my quick searches, it appears that it won't be easy to add nvidia drivers to the live cd, because even if you do, ubuntu casper will disable them on boot (it apparently does this with ati too)
[00:02] <preecher> is that something i set up on both ends?
[00:02] <Seveas> Bridge|, ^D will delete contents, dd will delete the line
[00:02] <Billiard> preecher: you might have to port forward twice with your dsl, id forward all the ports from the dsl to the router, then forward what you need from the router to your computer
[00:03] <Bridge|> THanks ssooooosssssooo much
[00:03] <Bridge|> dd is exactly what i needed
[00:03] <Bridge|> lol
[00:03] <fdsa_> trism, im glad someone else has come to that conclusion
[00:03] <Seveas> Bridge|, also: #vim :-)
[00:03] <Billiard> preecher: only one end needs port forwarding
[00:03] <bllz> !boxee
[00:03] <fdsa_> trism, would this be just an ubuntu or a debian issue as well?
[00:03] <bllz> is there a support channel for boxee on ubuntu?
[00:03] <ActionParsnip> preecher: you just need to set it up on the router and you can connect from ANYWHERE
[00:03] <Seveas> bllz, tried #boxee?
[00:04] <preecher> so log into my router settings?
[00:04] <abo> #boxee
[00:04] <bllz> Seveas:  no actually.  i tried ubuntu-boxee, but that is a good idea =)
[00:04] <ActionParsnip> preecher: use an SSH tunnel if you are connecting over WAN as there is no security in VNC connections
[00:04] <abo> \j #boxee
[00:04] <ActionParsnip> preecher: yes, you need to configure virtual server or port forwarding
[00:05] <juanpablo> hola
[00:05] <juanpablo> \ ubuntu-es
[00:05] <Berkin> Moist_Bat
[00:05] <preecher> if i am at home i live an hour from the office so i will be having to connect from my home network--will that work
[00:05] <Berkin> Moist_Bat
[00:05] <Berkin> Moist_Bat
[00:05] <FloodBot2> Berkin: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:06] <ActionParsnip> preecher: sure thing
[00:06] <blackman> i want to do something like chgrp username ./*{!excludedfile}
[00:06] <preecher> but while here at the office i can connect thru the IP like i do now
[00:06] <|COM|Styx> hello
[00:06] <|COM|Styx> hello
[00:06] <blackman> in other words, exclude files from *

[00:06] <|COM|Styx> >.>
[00:06] <|COM|Styx> argh, this is weird.  the channel isn't responding much for me
[00:07] <preecher> ok lemme see what i can do
[00:07] <SJr|nx> syn-ack what about the fact that it doesn't have a BIOS and has that EFI crap
[00:07] <|COM|Styx> anyway, does anyone know if i can make apt mark a package as installed?
[00:08] <Seveas> blackman, find . -name -not excludedfile -print0 | xargs -0 echo chgrp username
[00:08] <abo> hi, is there a way to check what bios I have from within ubuntu?
[00:08] <preecher> port forwarding/port triggering
[00:08] <|COM|Styx> i want to update the glib package, but the standard ubuntu package is horribly out of date
[00:08] <ardchoille> |COM|Styx: did you install it from source?
[00:08] <Seveas> drop the 'echo' once you confermed it does what you want :)
[00:08] <ActionParsnip> |COM|Styx: find a ppa
[00:08] <Seveas> abo, sudo dmidecode
[00:08] <MynameisHame> how do chaps, could someone gibe me a hand with folder permissions :3
[00:08] <|COM|Styx> ppa?
[00:08] <ActionParsnip> !ppa
[00:08] <|COM|Styx> aah, thank you
[00:08] <ActionParsnip> |COM|Styx: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas
[00:09] <ActionParsnip> |COM|Styx: you can use that link to search the launcpad ppas
[00:09] <ardchoille> |COM|Styx: if you've installed it from ppa and you have the ppa in your sources, then it should be seen as installed if you installed it from the ppa
[00:09] <abo> Seveas, thanks a lot, a lot of info here..
[00:09] <|COM|Styx> >.>
[00:09] <Zy> cannot compile xfoil 6.97 on karmic.. help please..
[00:10] <|COM|Styx> is there a better way then ppas?  that seems like more than what i need
[00:10] <|COM|Styx> i just want a recent version of glib
[00:10] <Seveas> |COM|Styx, why?
[00:10] <Dictator> hi, quick question... i just got a usb dvd drive but can't find it to add to this command sudo growisofs -use-the-force-luke=dao -use-the-force-luke=break:1913760  -dvd-compat -speed=4 -Z ??????????=deadrising.iso
[00:10] <syn-ack> SJr|nx, I run a system with EFI just fine
[00:10] <Seveas> Ubuntu's glib is the most recent one
[00:10] <SJr|nx> Ah
[00:10] <ActionParsnip> |COM|Styx: then if someone has compiled it you can also use it
[00:10] <Dictator> how can i find the usb dvd drive? is it in /dev or /media
[00:11] <Seveas> and updating glib often means updating quite a few other things as well, better upgrade your ubuntu in that case
[00:11] <|COM|Styx> i have upgraded
[00:11] <abo> is there a way to upgrade the bios from within ubuntu?
[00:11] <fdsa_> anyone know of a good livecd resource (aside from the ubuntu wiki)
[00:11] <|COM|Styx> i have compiled the latest glib
[00:11] <TcP> anyone knows how to get virtual box to go fullscreen the guest pc is windows 7
[00:11] <Seveas> Dictator, the device node (what the kernel talks to) lives in /dev, the mount point (where your files appear) lives in /media, usually /media/dvd
[00:11] <preecher> ActionParsnip, its asking me thing like what kind of service and gives choices like quake,age of empire, ftp,http and stuff like that
[00:11] <alankila> Just measured webkit 1.1.7 from lucid against the ubuntu ppa nightly build of chromium using sunspider. http://bel.fi/~alankila/webkit-1.1.17-vs-chromium-svn20091210r34249.txt
[00:11] <|COM|Styx> i am getting the error where the dll reports the wrong version
[00:12] <|COM|Styx> err
[00:12] <ActionParsnip> preecher: what is?
[00:12] <|COM|Styx> .so
[00:12] <ardchoille> fdsa_: http://www.livecdlist.com/wiki/index.php/LiveCD_Creation_Resources
[00:12] <preecher> under my router port forwarding/triggering setup page
[00:12] <alankila> webkit got 558 ms as runtime, and chromium 655 ms. Thus, webkit 1.1.17's javascript beats google's efforts by nearly 20 %.
[00:12] <ActionParsnip> preecher: yuo'll need to read your manual
[00:12] <preecher> o ok
[00:12] <losha> abo: I don't think so....
[00:13] <dennister> do I do a dist-upgrade to jaunty from hardy? (new install, on a hp tablet notebook)
[00:13] <abo> losha, how can I update the bios?
[00:13] <TerrorInK> lol
[00:13] <alankila> the 1.1.15 at karmic is at equal footing, they got basically the same numbers. But that was because webkit's string, regex and date functions were exceptionally slow. They have been fixed in 1.1.17, apparently, as they now are the same roughly as v8's.
[00:13] <ActionParsnip> abo: dos boot disk
[00:13] <losha> abo: the update itself should come with instructions. Is it a mobo?
[00:13] <syn-ack> dennister, You can't..
[00:14] <syn-ack> dennister, you'd have to upgrade to all the versions in between first... it'd be simpler to just reinstall
[00:14] <abo> dmidecode shows : SMBIOS 2.3 present

[00:14] <wushu> does the ubuntu livecd start the ssh daemon at boot?
[00:14] <ViridianFire> how do I get rid of or replace Pulse Audio?
[00:14] <ActionParsnip> !upgrade | dennister
[00:14] <dennister> syn-ack: no? a customer of mine did, and of course ran into problems I was able to rectify for him...thanks
[00:15] <ActionParsnip> wushu: no but it can be installed and ran
[00:15] <|COM|Styx> god, i hate apt
[00:15] <losha> wushu: I don't think so. But you can apt-get install ssh after booting....
[00:15] <abo> losha, ActionParsnip, what's a mobo.. sorry I'm not very familiar with the upgrade process... I'm trying to figure out what is the bios and where to find an upgrade
[00:15] <Seveas> Dictator, growisofs is for creating the .iso, wodim is for burning it
[00:15] <wushu> ActionParsnip, i wanna help a guy fix his grub..
[00:15] <al2cand> I would like anyone to give me a good address on how to install applications to my xubuntu... I am total beginner and used windows since born...
[00:15] <Dictator> ...
[00:15] <wushu> ive never used ubuntu
[00:15] <wushu> so jsut apt-get install ssh
[00:15] <wushu> and then how does he start it?
[00:16] <ActionParsnip> abo: mobo == motherboard
[00:16] <wushu> ?
[00:16] <maco> al2cand: #xubuntu might work better
[00:16] <wushu> like: /etc/init.d/sshd start
[00:16] <wushu> ?
[00:16] <Seveas> ViridianFire, unfortunately, you don't. PulseAudioWrangler is mandatory now
[00:16] <ezzieyguywuf> abo=alien board?
[00:16] <ActionParsnip> wushu: sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[00:16] <ViridianFire> why?
[00:16] <losha> abo: sorry, a motherboard. Bios software is very low level, usually the manufacturers instructions have to be followed very precisely to upgrade...
[00:16] <ViridianFire> I think it is causing problems
[00:16] <Dictator> Seveas, im following this guide... i couldnt find any other way to burn xbox 360 backups . http://biodegradablegeek.com/2009/03/burning-xbox-360-games-on-linux-stealth/
[00:16] <ViridianFire> and since when is something mandatory on Linux?
[00:17] <losha> wushu: yes, /etc/init.d/ssh start
[00:17] <dennister> syn-ack: no wonder my "customer" had problems, problem is this tablet, because it's a tablet, won't be testable with a livecd in all its features
[00:17] <Seveas> ViridianFire, oh, it is causing a ton of problems alright....
[00:17] <ActionParsnip> abo: you need to see what board you have then find the right bios. If you screw it up you may brick your board (no boot so cannot reinstall the old bios)
[00:17] <wushu> and what is the livecd login defaults?
[00:17] <wushu> user/pass
[00:17] <dennister> not as far as the wacom is concerned, anyway
[00:17] <ViridianFire> so why is it the default program if it causes problems?
[00:17] <syn-ack> dennister, heh
[00:17] <maco> wushu: both "ubuntu"
[00:17] <Seveas> ViridianFire, it is not mandatory for linux, but it is mandatory if you want to get any sound out of gnome and some other apps
[00:17] <wushu> thanks
[00:17] <wushu> ill ask if something goes south
[00:18] <Dictator> is there a way to burn xbox 360 backups on ubuntu?
[00:18] <ViridianFire> there isnt an alternative?
[00:18] <maco> ViridianFire: use kde?
[00:18] <losha> ViridianFire: try this: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/fix-for-all-pulseaudio-related-issues.html
[00:18] <Seveas> ViridianFire, because the idea behind pulseaudio is good. It's just the implementation that has bugs. It's software after all so it has bugs :-)
[00:18] <dennister> syn-ack: the reason I installed hardy in the first place was that the howtos for this model said hardy would work
[00:18] <ViridianFire> i guess
[00:18] <ActionParsnip> ViridianFire: you can use OSS as an alternative
[00:18] <ViridianFire> but my headphone jack doesnt work
[00:18] <syn-ack> dennister, sure it would. but it's a bit old. :/
[00:18] <abo> ActionParsnip, losha, using dmidecode I got the following info http://pastebin.com/d4c98be30
[00:19] <losha> dennister: well that's a good reason.
[00:19] <ViridianFire> how do I use OSS alternative?
[00:19] <Dictator> is there a way to burn xbox 360 backups on ubuntu without using imgburn/wine?
[00:19] <JerVA> I have a question here
[00:19] <JerVA> How do I speed up ubuntu OS?
[00:19] <JerVA> I'm running Karmic
[00:19] <maco> ViridianFire: ubuntu has ALSA not OSS, and OSS isnt in the kernel
[00:19] <beeftube> any way to magically re-generate the fstab file? the backup is corrupt too
[00:19] <ActionParsnip> abo: try: sudo lshw | head -n 20
[00:20] <wushu> you can just type the indo in beef
[00:20] <wushu> info
[00:20] <maco> ViridianFire: i would guess your driver is misdetecting your hardware. file a bug 'ubuntu-bug linux'
[00:20] <wushu> its not that hard if you look at what it needs
[00:20] <Brandon_> Hi, I'm creating a custom Ubuntu Live CD and am having trouble with repositories updating.
[00:20] <Brandon_> Trying to install VMware Player
[00:20] <ViridianFire> I had the same problem on a previous computer though
[00:20] <dennister> if i do a "clean" install with my jaunty cd (after I dig it up) I just have to format / partition, right, leaving /home alone?
[00:20] <ViridianFire> I guess ill file the bug
[00:21] <losha> dennister: yep, that's the idea. And optionally a swap partition if you're using it...
[00:22] <ViridianFire> losha: That link wont work for me. I my sound preferences don't look anything like whats pictured
[00:23] <ViridianFire> I have used that before on an older system and it worked however
[00:23] <fcuk112_1> Dictator: you can use the cli to burn x360 games.
[00:23] <dennister> losha: always use a swap...don't think it's possible to do a linux install without a swap
[00:23] <Dictator> fcuk112_1 whats that?
[00:23] <dennister> lookee here, jaunty was right on top of the stack :)
[00:23] <abo> ActionParsnip, done it http://pastebin.com/d56a8d802
[00:24] <Brandon_> Dictator: CLI = Command Line Interface = Terminal
[00:24] <losha> ViridianFire: I just skipped that part, since I don't use gnome. Sound works (sort of) though some apps still have sound problems...
[00:24] <Dictator> i did... i followed a guide and im stuck here

[00:24] <ViridianFire> ok
[00:24] <industrialphreak> any of you guys into e-bikes?
[00:24] <losha> dennister: Apparently some machines have so much ram they never swap...

[00:28] <ActionParsnip> ae86-drifter: why?
[00:28] <fcuk112_1> Dictator: use disk utility to find out what your dvd drive is.  mine is dev/sr0, replace /dev/dvd with that.
[00:28] <losha> Dictator: no, that's not it either. Try dmesg | more and look around the part where it mentions the usb device.  Now get out with your crap.

[00:30] <pyrophelia> how do I add the drive to the array for it to sync

[00:31] <dennister> hey pps, with the jaunty livecd the pen and touchscreen did work immediately :)
[00:31] <dennister> doing the clean install as we speak
[00:31] <losha> Dictator: doubt it. But an easy way to check is to run 'eject /dev/something'. If you get the right device, the tray will eject....
[00:32] <epinky> pyrophelia: is it mounted? /dev/sda
[00:32] <Amaranth> pyrophelia: Pretty sure you have to do it offline (boot from LiveCD or put the drives in another system)
[00:32] <jMyles> I am looking for a way to recover a directory.  I just (accidentally) deleted it, and it was too big for the trash.
[00:32] <dennister> losha: thx, and to syn-ack, and to ActionParsnip, who always gives good advice
[00:32] <Dictator> there isnt a way to know from the gui?
[00:32] <Dictator> i have so many to unmount
[00:32] <pyrophelia> Amaranth: that makes no sense, you can hot add a device to a raid at any time, otherwise mdadm would be useless
[00:33] <losha> Dictator: that's it? No 'using /dev/blah'  message in the dmesg output?
[00:33] <pyrophelia> epinky, no, it's not mounted.  it doesn't even have a filesystem on it yet
[00:33] <Dictator> losha, thats it. but the drive appears in the gui
[00:33] <dennister> i wanted to use hardy for good reasons (a presentation Monday night) and the group advocates using hardy, but I guess I can explain why I'm not following my own advice with this tablet
[00:33] <losha> Dictator: so in the gui, can you click on 'properties' or something?
[00:34] <dennister> and jaunty is beautiful :)
[00:34] <pyrophelia> is it possible to probe a device to see what's using it?

[00:36] <Dictator> losha, apparently i xbox 360 games cant get backed up with that software because of the layerbreak or something
[00:36] <fcuk112_1> Dictator: you are trying to burn a dvd yes?  just goto system > administration > disk utility and click your drive, it should tell you what it is.

[00:42] <slackpipe> i'm having a problem with my wireless connection.  it connects, and i get an ip address, but when i try to ping the router i get destination host unreachable.  anybody have any ideas?
[00:43] <JAMMAN2110> Can anyone tell me about some strange issue with Ubuntu Server 9.10 and some tomcat applications not working with the included tomcat system?
[00:43] <cn28h> slackpipe, can you liste the two IPs and show us the output of route -n ?
[00:43] <Guest37078> username: ubuntu   pass: "null"  doesen't work! why??
[00:44] <maco> Guest37078: the password is also ubuntu
[00:45] <SeViLLa> Guest37078:  Login Ubuntu password ubuntu
[00:45] <slackpipe> cn28h, which two ips?
[00:45] <cn28h> slackpipe, the IP you gotfrom your AP as well as the one you are trying to ping
[00:45] <SeViLLa> Guest37078:  well?
[00:45] <Guest37078> no it doesn't when I do user:ubuntu  and pass: null it accept it !!!!! and than return and re-requests login
[00:46] <SeViLLa> Guest37078:  Login ubuntu password ubuntu
[00:46] <slackpipe> cn28h, i got <IP_ADDRESS> from the ap, and i'm trying to ping <IP_ADDRESS>
[00:46] <epinky> pyrophelia: sudo mdadm --stop /dev/md0 , then retry
[00:46] <cn28h> slackpipe, ok, what's the output of route -n look like?
[00:47] <aliendude5300> Hi, looking to upgrade from Ubuntu 32bit 9.10 to 64-bit 9.10, what do I need to do to make sure that all of my personal files stay the same, and I have the same packages installed in the new version? Would there be any issues?
[00:48] <cn28h> aliendude5300, when you say upgrade, you mean do a fresh install?
[00:48] <SeViLLa> aliendude5300: simple backup
[00:48] <Guest37078> SeVilla - it says Authentification FAILED. But user::ubuntu and pass:null WORKS GREAT (no authentification failed message) BUT it re-requests login again and again no matter if the login is "correct" ???
[00:48] <slackpipe> it's <IP_ADDRESS>, <IP_ADDRESS>, <IP_ADDRESS>, U, 2, 0, wlan0
[00:48] <cn28h> slackpipe, what's the only line?
[00:49] <cn28h> that part looks fine
[00:49] <slackpipe> and then <IP_ADDRESS> <IP_ADDRESS>, <IP_ADDRESS>, u, 0,0, wlan0
[00:49] <cn28h> ok, that looks okay too
[00:49] <aliendude5300> cn28h, yeah... but I want to everything the same and restore it easily, like firefox settings and my home folder. would copying the home folder be enough? I was thinking about installing both Ubuntu 32bit and 64bit at the same time and then deleting the 32bit when I copy everything, but it might break something. I have a 1.5TB hard drive. Space is not an issue.
[00:50] <cn28h> aliendude5300, yeah, that'd be enough to save your settings and whanot
[00:50] <cn28h> whatnot
[00:50] <Bridge|> how would I echo out on a html file Welcome <USER> where USER == the current user logged in via htaccess/basic auth/apache2?
[00:50] <cn28h> slackpipe, what about tracepath <IP_ADDRESS>?
[00:50] <slackpipe> cn28h, i thought it did.  i compared it to the connectino on this computer
[00:50] <skrite> aliendude5300, backup your home folder
[00:51] <cn28h> slackpipe, and the computer you're on now pings <IP_ADDRESS> with no problem?
[00:51] <ardchoille> Bridge|: you would probably need javascript and document/write
[00:51] <ardchoille> er document.write
[00:51] <Guest37078> ubuntu 9.10 user:ubuntu  pass:null WORKS GREATE BUT REQUESTS LOGIN AGAIN AND AGAING AND WON'T LET ME IN. IT's JUST A DAMN LIVE CD
[00:51] <MTecknology> aliendude5300: don't make the copy for your home directory if you have anything running - especially firefox
[00:52] <aliendude5300> what about system packages? Is there a way to get a list of them and then apt-get install them all on the new install?
[00:52] <aliendude5300> I'm on the system I'm planning to upgrade now...
[00:52] <bastidrazor> !clone | aliendude5300
[00:52] <MTecknology> aliendude5300: is synaptic there's options to save/restore package state
[00:52] <slackpipe> cn28h, it gives childsplay.local (<IP_ADDRESS>) .06ms pmtu 1500
[00:52] <slackpipe> and then again
[00:52] <aliendude5300> Thanks bastidrazor! :)
[00:52] <slackpipe> but it ends with 3000ms H!
[00:52] <slackpipe> and then drops me back to the prompt
[00:52] <jordanwb> I've got ufw running on another machine acting as a bridge. I've set the default policy to allow, but ufw keeps blocking my computer
[00:53] <Guest37078> I CAN'T LOGIN UBUNTU 9.10 with user:ubuntu  pass:null IT IS CRAZYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
[00:53] <MTecknology> bastidrazor: that's a lot of work.. I usually use dpkg --get-selections > packages.list; dpkg --get-selections < packages.list :P
[00:53] <aliendude5300> Any know problems with the 64-bit version of Karmic I might want to know about before I upgrade?
[00:53] <cn28h> slackpipe, wait.. it listed itself twice??
[00:53] <Bridge|> ardchoille: i wouldnt doubt i need javascript but just wondering how i access that info
[00:53] <MTecknology> aliendude5300: java/flash
[00:53] <MTecknology> aliendude5300: that's it
[00:53] <slackpipe> cn28h, yep
[00:54] <Guest37078> That does it. I INSTALL WINDOWS 7
[00:54] <cn28h> slackpipe, doesn't report any error?
[00:54] <MTecknology> !coc | Guest37078
[00:54] <aliendude5300> MTecknology, what's wrong with Java and Flash? I think they offer 64 bit versions. I know in Windows 7, I can run 32-bit apps almost natively in the 64-bit OS. I'd assume you can do the same on Linux?
[00:54] <slackpipe> cn28h, no errors
[00:54] <b3rz3rk3r> Guest37078, kthxbai
[00:54] <slackpipe> just that H! resume mtu 1500
[00:55] <cn28h> hm
[00:55] <ardchoille> Bridge|: Here's a good javascript primer, it's in here somewhere but I don't remember where. I think you need to look for document.write: http://www.htmlgoodies.com/primers/jsp/
[00:55] <MTecknology> aliendude5300: worst case - you need to use my little guide - http://profarius.com/content/64bit-java-flash-deathroll
[00:55] <MTecknology> b3rz3rk3r: that's not needed
[00:56]  * aliendude5300 wishes he could be 100% windows free, but he needs MS Visual Studio 2008 Pro for work and WIne can't run that well enough... :(
[00:56] <epinky> Guest37078: "pass:null" means leave it blank and <enter> ?
[00:56] <MTecknology> jordanwb: I think even in default allow you still need to add rules to pass traffic
[00:56] <holmser> aliendude: thats what virtualbox is for
[00:56] <slackpipe> aliendude5300, i feel your pain.  i have a win7 partition just for vs.  it pains me everytime i have to boot into it
[00:56] <b3rz3rk3r> MTecknology, i know, i just get so frustrated with that kind of talk
[00:57] <jordanwb> MTecknology: I've added rules that allow tcp from any to any, and the same for udp
[00:57] <MTecknology> b3rz3rk3r: agreed
[00:57] <jordanwb> MTecknology: I'll try again
[00:57] <MTecknology> jordanwb: try runnign 'ufw disable' and see if the issue persists
[00:57] <jordanwb> MTecknology: My PC is no longer blocked when I disable ufw
[00:58] <MTecknology> jordanwb: turn logging on high and check the logs
[00:58] <slackpipe> cn28h, i've seen a similar probllem.  a friend of mine i talked into ubuntu had trouble when he went from dial up to dsl.  it would connect, but not use the connection.  he eventually just reinstalled and the installer picked it right up.
[00:58] <cn28h> slackpipe, have you checked dmesg for error messages? it's weird if your route is right and the other box can ping it that you can't
[00:58] <MTecknology> jordanwb: it should say why it's denied once you do that
[00:58] <grendal_prime> i have a package that requires the 'mono' package.
[00:58] <slackpipe> i haven't tried pinging it
[00:58] <jordanwb> MTecknology: Is the log in /var/log?
[00:58] <grendal_prime> I have mono installed but not one called exactly 'mono' and there is not one in the repose.
[00:58] <cn28h> then try
[00:59] <grendal_prime> how can i force the package to install?
[00:59] <MTecknology> jordanwb: ya, i forgot the exact fiel thoguh
[00:59] <ardchoille> grendal_prime: if it's not in the repos, then you can't
[00:59] <slackpipe> cn28h, pinging it seems to be timing out
[00:59] <jordanwb> MTecknology: I don't see a ufw file in /var/log
[00:59] <grendal_prime> oh come on..that cant be right
[00:59] <jordanwb> maybe because I haven't enabled ufw yet
[00:59] <ardchoille> grendal_prime: perhaps you need development files for mono?
[00:59] <grendal_prime> hmmm
[00:59] <MTecknology> jordanwb: it's not called ufw
[00:59] <MynameisHame> i have about 50 files which can only be moved by the root, i am using Gnome commander to change the perms, but it wont allow me to do all of them at once
[01:00] <grendal_prime> its the openvpn admin tool.
[01:00] <pfifo> Hello, this might be a longshot but I am having trouble playing World of Warcraft (patch 3.3.0) in wine. But i Just got a new LCD monitor as well. I am not sure where to start debuging, and would like to know: Is anyone else unable to play wow 3.3.0 in wine??
[01:00] <MTecknology> jordanwb: h on
[01:00] <cn28h> slackpipe, hm, strange
[01:00] <ardchoille> grendal_prime: yes, it is right. If it's not in the repos, there's no way to "force" it to install when it isn't there
[01:00] <grendal_prime> it seems strange that they would make a package that would require something that does not exisist
[01:00] <slackpipe> cn28h, very
[01:00] <aliendude5300> slackpipe: when configuring dsl on ubuntu and it doesn't work, try pppoeconfig. I used to have DSL, but now I'm on 25/15mbps fiber-optic. :)
[01:00] <Fizix> I'm having the darnedest time getting everything on Eclipse. When I try to install a plugin, I'm missing this gef and that thing; it's quite a lengthy process! I tried downloading it via Synaptic and Aptitude to no avail. Next, I tried their site: I unpackaged the tarball and ran if from their, but it won't attempt to download and use any of the plugins! Any help?
[01:00] <grendal_prime> ardchoille: im talking with dpkg
[01:00] <aliendude5300> err pppoeconf not pppoeconfig.
[01:01] <MTecknology> jordanwb: ufw logging on high
[01:01] <ardchoille> grendal_prime: perhpas searching the repos: apt-cache search -n mono | grep dev
[01:01] <slackpipe> cn28h, i dont see any errors in the dmesg
[01:01] <jordanwb> MTecknology: It says Logging Enabled
[01:01] <MTecknology> jordanwb: put it on high though
[01:01] <jordanwb> I did
[01:02] <jordanwb> MTecknology: I ran "ufw logging on high"
[01:02] <MTecknology> jordanwb: I still can't remember the log file...
[01:02] <jordanwb> MTecknology: I'll google it
[01:02] <fluffymcduff> why cant i change my screen brightness on my macbook running unr
[01:03] <jordanwb> MTecknology: ufw | grep LOG
[01:03] <ardchoille> grendal_prime: Perhaps the mono runtime? mono-1.0-runtime
[01:03] <jordanwb> MTecknology: Wait nope
[01:03] <epinky> Fizix: better ask on #eclipse channel
[01:03] <vinpan> i need help, i cant find ubuntu 3d desktop and how to install it

[01:08] <lostinspace_46> sorry bout that
[01:08] <jordanwb> MTecknology: It would help if ssh was running. *facepalm*
[01:08] <MTecknology> umm.... is there a file sharing channel on freenode??

[01:13] <MTecknology> generally yes
[01:13] <john> I need a very very fast question answered - how do I do cd in a .sh file?
[01:14] <jordanwb> john: you run the command
[01:14] <Billiard> Guest40368: why do you need to anyway?
[01:14] <jordanwb> john: cd /path/to/dir
[01:14] <Guest40368> no no I get that
[01:14] <Guest40368> but I want to put it in a .sh file
[01:14] <Guest40368> so I can type
[01:14] <Guest40368> bash filename.sh
[01:14] <Guest40368> I do that, but it doesn't change my directory
[01:15] <jordanwb> Guest40368: I'm probably wrong but it only changed the directory in the script
[01:15] <jordanwb> changes*
[01:15] <xandros> hmmm
[01:15] <Billiard> ya that sounds right
[01:15] <MTecknology> xandros: sh /path/to/script.sh
[01:15] <Alan502> i installed netbeans but can't find it :|
[01:15] <xandros> ok let me try that mt
[01:15] <grendal_prime> it still will not let me install
[01:16] <MTecknology> jordanwb: Are you trying to install a firewall on this system?
[01:16] <ibkanat> anyone have problems with rt-kernel
[01:16] <slackpipe> cn28h, any ideas?
[01:16] <jordanwb> MTecknology: I have two computers, A and B, A has two eth adapters setup as a bridge, B is connected to eth0 of A
[01:17] <MTecknology> grendal_prime: You should talk to the people that created the package...
[01:17] <ibkanat> doesnt work for me I have a q6600
[01:17] <MTecknology> jordanwb: do you want sytem to function as a firewall?
[01:17] <MTecknology> jordanwb: "root@jordanwb-firewall"
[01:17] <jordanwb> MTecknology: just for a short time
[01:18] <tech404> I'm looking for a text editor to do some reporting in. A lot of it comes from templates. Features I need: gui, split screen, templating system, spell check, tabs, snipits or programable auto-complete, and sessions. I've tried scite, gedit, and tea and none of them seem to do the whole job. Any suggestions?
[01:18] <MTecknology> jordanwb: I would presonally suggest using pfsense or m0n0wall. Those are systems that are designed for the purpose and much more secure in that regard.
[01:18] <jordanwb> MTecknology: Okay I'll take a look at those. Thanks
[01:19] <xandros> I have another question - I have a linux live cd which I wish to play around with, (i.e. edit it in ways I wish not to explain for it will take too long) however it only has basically 1 file, squashfs, I've done a small amount of research and I've concluded that a linux kernel is compiled into this single file...is there any way to "decompile" it and be able to edit the individual files of it?
[01:19] <Billiard> xandros: yes
[01:19] <Octoroks> Hello. I am having a problem with Grub with Ubuntu 9.10. I have a Windows 7 partition that is about 100gb. I installed Ubuntu side-by-side fulling knowing that it was there. Ubuntu installed fine, but the problem was is it won't show/load my Windows partition on boot. It goes directly to Ubuntu.
[01:19] <MTecknology> jordanwb: just fyi - pfsense is probably better for your use - m0n0wall is great but it's designed more for embedded devices
[01:20] <xandros> well that's good news, care to elaborate?
[01:20] <tech404> Octoroks:  Have you held down shift during boot so you can get to the grub menu?
[01:20] <MTecknology> Octoroks: grub-legacy or grub2?
[01:20] <MTecknology> Octoroks: nevermind - dumb question on my part
[01:20] <Octoroks> tech404, I didn't know you can do that.
[01:20] <Octoroks> I'll try and report back.
[01:21] <slackpipe> cn28h, in /etc/network/interfaces should the wireless be the first device, orr the loopback? and does it matter
[01:21] <Billiard> xandros: you should be able to just extract it do watever you want, such as chroot into it and install packages, then mksquashfs the directory and put it back in the iso, sorry i cant remember the command to extract it, other than mounting and copying
[01:21] <Mewslol> Hey there, im having a "Marvell Yukon 88e0856" problem. My computer wont find the network card and i can't access the internet. I've been googling around and following all kinds of guides, Please MSG me if you're interested in helping out or have solved this kind of problem before.
[01:21] <ibkanat> Ocktoroks https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[01:21] <tech404> Octoroks: Grub2 is default in 9.10. The menu is hidden by default unless you hold a button durring boot. Shift works well
[01:21] <xandros> I don't want to install packages
[01:21] <ibkanat> update-grub
[01:22] <Billiard> xandros: well you can do whatever after you extract it, it looks like the command is unsquashfs
[01:22] <xandros> I just want to edit the...I forget the name but it's the autoexec.bat equivelent
[01:22] <xandros> local.rc or soemthing
[01:22] <itilious> anyone here know of a native linux application that can burn "IMG" files?
[01:23] <moddinati> Question: How can I set a folder to have ownership by two users e.g. I need both www-data and my account user name to have ownership of a folder
[01:23] <MTecknology> xandros: why don't you just pull the kernel source code...
[01:23] <mizerydearia> How can I restart desktop environment only for Xubuntu?

[01:24] <oorah> the new version of the partition editor is confusing to me now. how do i partition a usb flash?
[01:24] <kindofabuzz> is there a ubuntu server channel?

[01:24] <JoeSomebody> how can i drag-move more than 1 file in nautilus?
[01:24] <kindofabuzz> =)
[01:24] <mizerydearia> Also, the desktop environment froze.  I can mouse the mouse cursor around, but clicking does nothing and the keyboard doesn't function.  Pushing caps locks doesn't toggle led light.  Which log file can I check to find out what happened?  I am logged into the pc remotely and I can still type into the shell, so I the system is still functioning.
[01:24] <mizerydearia> mouse the mouse == move the move == move the mouse
[01:24] <zengeos> thanks ubot that's why it's alpha, yes?
[01:24] <leaf-sheep> JoeSomebody: Hold Shift or CTRL to make multiple selections.
[01:24] <kindofabuzz> JoeSomebody: select more than one file using ctrl or drag a box around them
[01:25] <itilious> nm, just changed extension to ISO and it works with nero now
[01:25] <itilious> thanks for the help,,, lol
[01:25] <JoeSomebody> i can select them , i said MOVE them
[01:26] <oorah> the new version of the partition editor is confusing to me now. how do i partition a usb flash?
[01:26] <JoeSomebody> it moves 1 file
[01:26] <JoeSomebody> am i missing something?
[01:26] <Octoroks> tech404, no that didn't work.
[01:26] <Octoroks> Oh. He doesn't seem to be here.
[01:26] <Octoroks> Hello. I am having a problem with Grub with Ubuntu 9.10. I have a Windows 7 partition that is about 100gb. I installed Ubuntu side-by-side fulling knowing that it was there. Ubuntu installed fine, but the problem was is it won't show/load my Windows partition on boot. It goes directly to Ubuntu.
[01:27] <JoeSomebody> i select 5, and it moves 1
[01:27] <JoeSomebody> i select 5, and crtl drag copies 5, but i want MOVE
[01:27] <maco> Octoroks: comment GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 in /etc/default/grub
[01:27] <moddinati> Question: How can I set a folder to have ownership by two users e.g. I need both www-data and my account user name to have ownership of a folder
[01:28] <Pest1> hi
[01:28] <JoeSomebody> shift drag= no, alt drag = no
[01:28] <leaf-sheep> JoeSomebody: Hold SHIFT as you drag them.  It should move instead of copies.  Also, it make copies because you're moving to different partitions or hold SHIFT, I think.
[01:28] <leaf-sheep> JoeSomebody: CTRL, I mean.
[01:28] <Pest1> i did a update to day and now its not finding the os
[01:28] <Umifier> Question: Cannot find my "Marvell Yukon" Network card. I've tried everything from Ndiswrapper to the driverinstall from the marvell's homepage. My router + ISP is working. I have been googling the problem for the past 5hours and I havn't stumbled across any answer. What now?
[01:28] <Sacho> moddinati: maybe group them
[01:28] <Octoroks> maco, Okay. I don't think that will fixs things as I've held shift and it showed me the usual menu and Windows was not there.
[01:28] <maco> Octoroks: oh
[01:28] <Pest1> anyone ?
[01:29] <Pest1> it did alot of odd stuff after it updated
[01:29] <ConcreteBurger> What was the problem?
[01:29] <JoeSomebody> wait now, the only way is cut and paste for more than one file? i tried every other drag thing
[01:29] <MynameisHame> The file "(1993) Pablo Honey" cannot be handled because you do not have permissions to read it.
[01:29] <MynameisHame> ffffffffffffffffffffff
[01:29] <moddinati> Question: How can I set a folder to have ownership by two users e.g. I need both www-data and my account user name to have ownership of a folder.  Is this possible, or any suggestions of work arounds?
[01:29] <Pest1> the update manger came up and told me to update
[01:29] <Pest1> i did
[01:29] <jrib> moddinati: use a group
[01:29] <oorah> the new version of the partition editor is confusing to me now. how do i partition a usb flash?
[01:29] <Pest1> now its not finding my os
[01:30] <Pest1> and i tryed putting a start up on usb but it keeps failing
[01:30] <moddinati> thanks jrib, i'll look into it
[01:30] <Phuzion_> hello, running 8.10 and Java seems to be freezing firefox... anyone able to help?
[01:30] <ConcreteBurger> I found it easier to just get gparted and use that instead of the new disk manager
[01:30] <Octoroks> Hello. I am having a problem with Grub with Ubuntu 9.10. I have a Windows 7 partition that is about 100gb. I installed Ubuntu side-by-side fulling knowing that it was there. Ubuntu installed fine, but the problem was is it won't show/load my Windows partition on boot. It goes directly to Ubuntu. Even if I hold shift it does not appear in the menu. I have tripled checked to see if my Windows partition is still there, and it is.
[01:30] <jrib> !permissions > moddinati
[01:30] <jrib> moddinati: I think that covers groups, but not sure
[01:31] <Pest1> i think the update thing gave me a virus ?
[01:31] <syk> how can i change my notification icon to the same one i have in the start menu? i have a icon set but the icon in start menu and notification/system tray is different id like to see if i can change it
[01:31] <Pest1> i just destoryed my grub
[01:31] <ConcreteBurger> You can easily reinstall grub with a livecd
[01:31] <Umifier> Question: Cannot find my "Marvell Yukon" Network card. I've tried everything from Ndiswrapper to the driverinstall from the marvell's homepage. My router + ISP is working. I have been googling the problem for the past 5hours and I havn't stumbled across any answer.  I've compiled Apache and Postgresql by hand, and I just remembered that I don't have a quick way of making them start up when I first log in. What's the proper way of doing this?
[01:32] <MynameisHame> :4
[01:33] <ConcreteBurger> On your main computer, can you boot into any OS?
[01:33] <JoeSomebody> kindofabuzz, leaf-sheep : ok for some reason it was not working right on dragging, and now IT IS, believe it or not , sounds like i am nuts huh
[01:33] <jrib> Wolfman2000: those are both in the repositories
[01:33] <Pest1> on my lap top theres just the ubuntu
[01:33] <Wolfman2000> jrib: I like my source compiling. They're already installed
[01:34] <Pest1> on this one there vista and ubuntu
[01:34] <ConcreteBurger> What's wrong with GRUB?
[01:34] <jrib> Wolfman2000: why?  If you use the repositories, this will be taken care of for you and you will get automatic security updates
[01:34] <Pest1> nothing on this one
[01:34] <andi_> testing
[01:34] <Phuzion_> I'm having problems with java freezing up firefox... anyone have any ideas? I'm running 8.10
[01:34] <Pest1> my other computer wont start up after a update
[01:34] <Wolfman2000> jrib: My source install is already in place.
[01:34] <Pest1> it said ttyl:1
[01:34] <Umifier> Question: Cannot find my "Marvell Yukon" Network card. I've tried everything from Ndiswrapper to the driverinstall from the marvell's homepage. My router + ISP is working. I have been googling the problem for the past 5hours and I havn't stumbled across any answer. Im using Jaunty Jackalope. Does anyone have any clue what i could do next?
[01:34] <Pest1> it was really oddd
[01:34] <jrib> Wolfman2000: easy to remove and do it the right way though
[01:34] <ConcreteBurger> So on the other computer, you can't boot into anything?
[01:35] <rawr_> wolfman: perhaps a chrontab?
[01:35] <Pest1> nope
[01:35] <Wolfman2000> jrib: I don't see what's wrong with using the source.
[01:35] <Pest1> just say missing os
[01:35] <jrib> Wolfman2000: the two advantages I just mentioned
[01:35] <rawr_> umifier: maybe if you spam your question a couple hundred more times
[01:35] <ConcreteBurger> hmm. i see. Now, why does the USB fail, do you know?
[01:35] <Pest1> my be a bad cd ?
[01:35] <rawr_> pest1: yes what do you mean when you say it fails exactly
[01:36] <Pest1> it comes up with 3 fails
[01:36] <Umifier> Rawr_: Im in desperate need :)
[01:36] <jrib> Wolfman2000: are you really going to monitor security lists, patch your apache and postgresql yourself when something comes up, and rebuild every time?
[01:36] <ConcreteBurger> Would it be possible to download a fresh ISO and then try to create a liveCD with that?
[01:36] <Pest1> An uncaught exception was raised:
[01:36] <Pest1> [Errno 5] Input/output error
[01:36] <Phuzion_> Umifier what version of Ubuntu are you using?
[01:36] <ardchoille> Wolfman2000: And what about regressions?
[01:36] <Umifier> Phuzion_: 9.04
[01:37] <Pest1> the usb is 4 gb
[01:37] <Pest1> its clean
[01:37] <Mainstay> what's a good reverse proxy server for ubuntu
[01:37] <Phuzion_> Umifier... NDISWRAPPER shouldn't be necessary... is this a fresh insall?
[01:37] <Phuzion_> *install
[01:37] <ConcreteBurger> If you think the CD is at fault, it's probably best to download a new ISO
[01:37] <Wolfman2000> Let me ask this then.
[01:37] <mizerydearia> Xorg/xfce/desktop environment freezes after some time of usage.  What log file can I check to find out what is causing freeze?  I am logged in remotely?
[01:38] <Pest1> after i did the update it asked me for my pass again then went to a black sreen said a few values then said ttyl:1
[01:38] <jrib> Wolfman2000: anyway I really really advise you to use the repositories but "/msg ubottu !boot".  If you want to use a sysv initscript, read /etc/init.d/skeleton (and use sysv-rc-conf) or for upstart, "/msg ubottu upstart"
[01:38] <Wolfman2000> If I were to choose to install PG with the package manager, would it come with the initscript?
[01:38] <Umifier> Phuzion_: I'm not really sure. I have tried the installer from Marvell's homepage, and yes. im sure its the right option.
[01:38] <ConcreteBurger> Can you get as far as the GRUB menu?
[01:38] <jrib> Wolfman2000: yes
[01:38] <Pest1> nope
[01:38] <moddinati> jrib: Thanks I was able to fix the problem by changing the group permissions. Much Appreciated
[01:38] <Pest1> just into my bios
[01:38] <ConcreteBurger> So it just says Initializing GRUB and then crashes?
[01:38] <jrib> moddinati: no problem
[01:38] <Pest1> no
[01:39] <Pest1> just saying missing oparting systeam
[01:39] <ConcreteBurger> I see. Well, it seems you can't do too much without a liveCD or USB
[01:39] <Pest1> i know... :(
[01:40] <ConcreteBurger> You could always remove the harddrive and place it into another computer with a CD drive if you must
[01:40] <Phuzion_> Umifier you don't know if you just installed Ubuntu?
[01:40] <rawr_> i'm still confused as to why he can't get the usb boot working
[01:40] <Pest1> thats how i installed the os
[01:40] <Pest1> but i have no other lap top now to do so
[01:40] <dailystruggle> does antone know why a desktop vapture would only grab the screen every 4 to five seconds I am having no issue with my videi I can watch maovies and 3d desktop  I am using recordMyDesktop
[01:41] <Umifier> Phuzion_: I installed ubuntu for 6 hours ago :). Im sorry, its late.
[01:41] <Cowfishy> Can someone help me with formatting an external drive
[01:41] <jrib> !gparted | Cowfishy
[01:41] <ConcreteBurger> hmm. Yes. I am confused as to why the USB isn't working.
[01:41] <Jim1967> I'm using 9.04.  It hung on startup, and when it was restarted the lower panel was blank and doesn't show minimized program.  How do I get back to the default panel settings?
[01:41] <Cowfishy> I tried Gparted but once I create the filesystem its instantly corrupted
[01:41] <Phuzion_> Umifier what make & model is your computer?
[01:41] <Billiard> Cowfishy: which filesystem type?
[01:41] <Pest1> i'm trying to make a usb start up
[01:41] <Cowfishy> I'm trying to make an ext3
[01:41] <Pest1> with a cd and usb
[01:41] <matju> if i get «invalid superblock» while trying to mount or fsck or dumpe2fs an ext2 filesystem, what can i do?
[01:41] <Pest1> but it fails
[01:42] <Billiard> Cowfishy: how do you try to mount it?
[01:42] <ConcreteBurger> Have you tried using an ISO image instead of a CD?
[01:42] <jrib> !enter | Pest1
[01:42] <rawr_> Pest1:  saying it fails is meaningless to me.  Are you saying when you try to boot to it or what
[01:42] <Umifier> Phuzion_: Asus p5Q Premium. If that's what you're trying to ask.
[01:42] <Billiard> Cowfishy: how do you determine that its corrupted?
[01:42] <Cowfishy> Well, in Gparted, the thing says its corrupted. Anyway, I tried to mount it like: mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /media/External
[01:43] <Pest1> dude rawr your not helping
[01:43] <Pest1> just stop
[01:43] <Out_Cold> so i'll try this yet again... I was trying to set up an NFS on one box, yet I can't seem to get it going. Here's what I get so far... http://pastebin.com/m662494e1  **note that there are 2 boxes involved
[01:43] <Cowfishy> and when I run fsck it wont work XD
[01:43] <rawr_> Pest1: i do not mean to be a bother, simply saying you need to be more specific
[01:43] <Billiard> Cowfishy: wont work how?
[01:43] <Cowfishy> Well basically it gives a bunch of errors
[01:43] <Billiard> Cowfishy: such as?
[01:44] <Pest1> i said what it told me
[01:44] <Pest1> An uncaught exception was raised:
[01:44] <Pest1> [Errno 5] Input/output error
[01:44] <dailystruggle> recordmydesktop is only catch a screen every 4-5seconds anyone have a clue why?
[01:44] <Billiard> matju: how did you try to mount it?
[01:44] <Out_Cold> prodding for info in here is like a mouse trying to move a house lol
[01:44] <rawr_> Pest1: yes but when is that coming up
[01:44] <Alan502> Where can i download old packages? im looking for this package exactly: plasma-widget-networkmanagement_0.1~svn1023224-0ubuntu1_amd64
[01:44] <ConcreteBurger> I have gotten that error before with an external harddrive. I found that reformatting it fixed the problem
[01:44] <Cowfishy> It says that the filesystem is invalied and if it is a real ext2 filesystem then to run another type of fsck
[01:44] <jrib> Alan502: launchpad librarian has them (somewhere, don't ask me)
[01:45] <Alan502> jrib, is that a site or someone?
[01:45] <Pest1> when i try to make startup disk
[01:45] <jrib> Alan502: launchpad.net
[01:45] <Billiard> Cowfishy: i suppose you could try creating the partition with mkfs.ext3
[01:45] <ConcreteBurger> Pest1: Try to drag a file onto it and see if you get the same error
[01:45] <jrib> Alan502: I'm fairly certain you can find old packages there
[01:45] <rawr_> Pest1: ok see that's all i needed.  do as concrete says.  also what format do you have it in
[01:45] <matju> Billiard: at first i got i/o errors, i unmounted, disconnected, reconnected, mounted with the drive icon, then used the «mount» command, then added «-t ext2» to see whether it's any different
[01:45] <Phuzion_> umifier... does your laptop come equipped with a wireless on/off switch?
[01:46] <Cowfishy> Ok. I think I did that before but I should proabably erase the drive first
[01:46] <Alan502> which is a stabler distribution than ubuntu but user friendly as well by the way?
[01:46] <Umifier> Phuzion_: It's not a laptop, its a baseunit. Wired cable, should have mentioned earlier. sorry.
[01:46] <andi_> Hello
[01:46] <Out_Cold> Alan502, debian
[01:46] <matju> Billiard: and then i tried dumpe2fs to find a superblock, but it complains that it can't find a valid superblock, so, i wonder, where do i go from there?
[01:46] <Cowfishy> Ok, it's writing some inode tables lol
[01:46] <jrib> Alan502: can't get more stable than debian stable
[01:46] <matju> Billiard: the partition table is still valid though.
[01:46] <Alan502> Out_Cold, isnt debian aimed mostly to servers?
[01:46] <Cowfishy> ill see how it turns out in a sec
[01:47] <Alan502> jrib,  i have encountered so much bugs on ubuntu lately, and it really makes me loose lots of time :(
[01:47] <Out_Cold> Alan502, they have desktop versions also.. but not nearly as cool and friendly as ubuntu
[01:47] <jrib> Alan502: what bugs?
[01:47] <Billiard> matju: im not sure of anything else to try sorry
[01:47] <luiz> hey
[01:47] <Out_Cold> Alan502, use a more stable release like 8.04
[01:47] <Alan502> jrib, amarok bug, knetwork manager bugs, linux kernel bugs...
[01:47] <Bigrobc> i'm new to linux and i've been trying to set up yahoo messenger with wine can anybody help me
[01:48] <jrib> "stable" is such a terrible adjective for describing "bugginess"
[01:48] <ardchoille> Alan502: Which ubuntu are you running? I'm on Jaunty and I haven't seen any bugs, and it's very stable here.
[01:48] <Alan502> jrib, although the kernel bugs wont be fixed i think
[01:48] <matju> Billiard: how much time would a dumpe2fs take, to run? it doesn't seem to be reading anything at all.
[01:48] <Alan502> ardchoille, im running karmic
[01:48] <rawr_> Bigrobc: you don't need to do that.  try pidgin
[01:48] <andi_> It's weird, I have a Synaptic Touchpad, but when I tested it using synclient, it can only detect 1 finger. Anyone have any idea what caused this?
[01:48] <syn-ack> What kernel bugs?
[01:48] <lasivian> which freeciv client should I use one a acer netbook? gtk/sdl/Xaw3D
[01:48] <lasivian> i'm not sure what the difference is
[01:48] <luiz> sdl
[01:48] <syn-ack> Alan502, Kernel bugs are ALWAYS fixed
[01:48] <Alan502> jrib, a google "site:launchpad.net" doesnt retrive any reelevant links when looking for plasma-widget-networkmanagement_0.1~svn1023224-0ubuntu1_amd64
[01:48] <matju> Billiard: in dmesg, i see «ext4» complaining about unsupported features, but i never used ext4
[01:48] <Billiard> Bigrobc: might want to try the wine channel, did you check the wine appdb to see if that app works
[01:48] <Phuzion_> umifier... maybe one of these 2 links can help you? http://vip.asus.com/forum/view.aspx?board_id=20&model=Eee+PC+900%2FLinux&id=20080606083521421&page=1&SLanguage=en-us
[01:48] <MrSun> ubuntu on acer netbooks are damn slow
[01:48] <ardchoille> Alan502: I would suggest trying Jaunty before moving to debian stable, Jaunty is newer and easier to upgrade to Lucid when it's releases
[01:48] <Phuzion_> http://vip.asus.com/forum/view.aspx?id=20080614055134328&board_id=20&model=Eee+PC+4G%2fLinux&page=1&SLanguage=en-us
[01:48] <MrSun> *is
[01:49] <lasivian> MrSun, i've been pretty happy with this one, it's the 1410
[01:49] <Billiard> matju: idk how much time
[01:49] <Umifier> Phuzion_: Ill check them out, thanks.
[01:49] <Alan502> syn-ack, i've been experiencing a display bug with my netbook for about 3 months
[01:49] <MrSun> well I have the AO751h
[01:49] <Out_Cold> debain has less of a following and less support than ubuntu
[01:49] <Bigrobc> yeah i'm using pidgin  right now but i've been hearing of people actually using yahoo
[01:49] <Alan502> syn-ack, everyday i use it prompts me "A serious kernel problem found" and i ALWAYS report.
[01:49] <lasivian> I gave my GF a first gen acer for net surfing with ubuntu on it
[01:49] <lasivian> good learning tool
[01:50] <syn-ack> Alan502, That's not necessarily a kernel issue
[01:50] <MrSun> does ur GF like ubuntu?
[01:50] <rawr_> Bigrobc:  what's wrong with pidgin.  trying to fix something that's not broken are we?
[01:50] <Phuzion_> looking for a lil help if anyone can assist with java freezing up
[01:50] <Out_Cold> my gf likes the cube and snow..
[01:50] <Alan502> syn-ack, i've looked for documentation and it seems it has been for quite a while
[01:50] <syn-ack> Alan502, May I see the link to the bug report, please?
[01:50] <Alan502> syn-ack, i dont have it handy now, im on my main box
[01:51] <MrSun> who created this room and when lol
[01:51] <Alan502> syn-ack, the bug is on my netbook
[01:51] <lasivian> Out_Cold, my GF told me a year ago "Please learn Linux, I want to and I want you to be able to answer my questions", how could I refuse that :)
[01:51] <Alan502> syn-ack, i can turn up my netbook and look for it if you want tho
[01:51] <ardchoille> Alan502: Seriously, give Jaunty a try, it's quite nice IMHO
[01:51] <lasivian> any suggestions for good games I should install now for my long plane flight?
[01:51] <syn-ack> Alan502, It'd be kind of interesting to see so I can see if it's upstream
[01:51] <maco> lasivian: send your girlfriend to #ubuntu-women and we'll help her learn :)
[01:52] <syn-ack> Alan502, which version of Ubuntu is this
[01:52] <syn-ack> ?
[01:52] <ardchoille> maco: Good point :)
[01:52] <Out_Cold> lasivian, i wish i had your gf lol
[01:52] <Umifier> Phuzion_: The problem is that i dont have any internet on the fail-computer. So i wont be able to update anything or DL. I do have a USB-stick besides me.
[01:52] <maco> lasivian: also... battle for wesnoth
[01:52] <Alan502> syn-ack, its karmic, but i had the same problem iwth jaunty
[01:52] <arghh2d2>  lasivian nethack ftw!
[01:52] <lasivian> Out_Cold, many men do, heh
[01:52] <maco> lasivian: frets on fire, if you have headphones
[01:52] <Alan502> ardchoille, i used jaunty before karmic
[01:52] <ardchoille> Alan502: Ah, ok
[01:52] <Out_Cold> lasivian, the penguin one.... ummmm tux something 3d?
[01:52] <Alan502> Anyway this is not what i came to! where can i find this package: plasma-widget-networkmanagement_0.1~svn1023224-0ubuntu1_amd64
[01:52] <Bigrobc> anybody really good setup up compiz cube effects on ubuntu
[01:52] <jrib> Alan502: ... https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/plasma-widget-networkmanagement
[01:53] <Phuzion_> Umifier that's probably a good place to start, let me see if I can find something else as well
[01:53] <Alan502> jrib, thanks a lot man :D
[01:53] <maco> Alan502: in karmic, should be knetworkmanager instead, i think
[01:53] <Out_Cold> so i'll try this yet again... I was trying to set up an NFS on one box, yet I can't seem to get it going. Here's what I get so far... http://pastebin.com/m662494e1  **note that there are 2 boxes involved
[01:53] <jrib> Alan502: if there are regressions though you should report them
[01:53] <soreau> Bigrobc: Can you ask in a way that makes sense?
[01:53] <Umifier> Sorry for causing trouble/anger management :)
[01:53] <lasivian> isn't there a new version of nethack named something else?
[01:53] <Alan502> maco, the thing is that knetwork manager in karmic has BUGS that do not allow me to connect to my 3g connection
[01:54] <matju> Billiard: ok, i'm gonna try to solve the problem the microsoft way : i'm gonna try a reboot.
[01:54] <Bigrobc> yeah i'm eating at the moment sorry for that
[01:54] <syn-ack> Alan502, Yeah, The only way these things get fixed is if you report them
[01:54] <Umifier> matju: <3
[01:54] <maco> Alan502: oh. i think the plasmoid had bigger bugs that prevented it being default
[01:54] <Billiard> matju: ha, doubt it will work
[01:54] <Phuzion_> Umifier do you know how to paste bin?
[01:54] <mizery> Xorg/xfce/desktop environment freezes after some time of usage.  What log file can I check to find out what is causing freeze?  I am logged in remotely?
[01:54] <Alan502> jrib, what happens; and it seems that it not only happens to me; is that when i click on my 3g connection. Nothing happens
[01:54] <Umifier> Phuzion_: I guess so.
[01:54] <Phuzion_> Umifier yes or no?
[01:55] <Alan502> jrib, what happens; and it seems that it not only happens to me; is that when i click on my 3g connection, nothing happens. It doesnt even try to connect
[01:55] <Umifier> Phuzion_: No, then.
[01:55] <jrib> Alan502: I'm sure if you filed a bug some knowledgeable soul would tell you how to get more details
[01:55] <MrSun> im out you guys
[01:55] <MrSun> ttyl
[01:55] <matju> Billiard: i doubt it too, because i tried deconnecting and reconnecting the câble. otherwise i'd thing that it could be bad RAM...
[01:55] <Alan502> jrib, i know do you know which are the so called "debugging packages" i must install to provide "better bug reports"?
[01:56] <jrib> !debug | Alan502
[01:56] <jrib> Alan502: that page should list the repositories that provide them
[01:56] <matju> Billiard: 4-5 years ago i had an app that consistently crashed the PNG decoder in Linux, until i rebooted. it was the RAM. one bit wrong, out of 4 billion.
[01:56] <Phuzion_>  Umifier do *lshw -c network (minus the *) in a terminal go to http://pastebin.com/ and paste output there
[01:56] <Billiard> matju: ha
[01:56] <Phuzion_> umifier then paste the url here
[01:57] <Umifier> phuzion_: ok, be back in a minute.
[01:57] <Alan502> do you know whats exactly the "svn"?
[01:57] <Phuzion_> anyone able to assist with Sun Java freezing Firefox?
[01:57] <matju> Billiard: but then, it was new RAM. if old RAM is broken, i'd be surprised. RAM that survives 4 years of daily use normally gets upgraded long before it dies.
[01:57] <jrib> Alan502: svn stands for subversion, a revision control system.  It's the revision
[01:57] <Alan502> jrib, :D thanks i will read it; maybe they will finally fix that amarok bug
[01:58] <lasivian> anyone have a droid and got tethering working?
[01:59] <Umifier> Phuzion_: Sun java freezing firefox as in getting pop-ups att facebook-freezes?
[02:00] <Phuzion_> umifier no.... just freezing when trying to run Java... namely with Yahoo
[02:00] <Umifier> Phuzion_: http://pastebin.com/d267d605f there you go, there's everything
[02:00] <ardchoille> lasivian: That question is probably better on http://forums.t-mobile.com

[02:03] <mine> what is the command to update empathy
[02:03] <Umifier> sympathy? He-he
[02:03] <Phuzion_> umifier.... looks like you're having the same problem I had you have more than one configuration all fighting over one another to establish a connection
[02:04] <mine> empathy
[02:04] <Out_Cold> where does firestarted store it's rules?
[02:04] <Out_Cold> **firestarter
[02:05] <Out_Cold> empathy was a wasted effort.. it lacks so much compared to pidgin
[02:05] <mine> what is command to update empathy
[02:05] <Umifier> Phuzion_: Ok, do you have any clues? or would you like me to keep on googling :)
[02:05] <mine> but i don't want to change  it
[02:05] <mine> it
[02:05] <Out_Cold> mine, update it with the update managerr or use sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[02:06] <Umifier> Phuzion_: wait, you just gave me the answer. sort of. sorry
[02:06] <mine> ok
[02:06] <lasivian> I wish I could run aptitude twice
[02:06] <lasivian> concurrently
[02:06] <Umifier> Phuzion_: Phuzion_: Have you tried this: http://www.clarkew.com/firefox-freezing-while-running-java/  Try that link for your java problem
[02:07] <Out_Cold> lasivian, but that may cause fatal errors and make your computer explode
[02:07] <mine> the new empathy  2.29 but  mine is  2.28
[02:07] <Out_Cold> but a frequent wish of mine as weell :p
[02:08] <mine> sudo apt-get update did't work
[02:08] <Bigrobc> anybody here good with compiz fusion?
[02:08] <Out_Cold> mine, ubuntu only uses stable and tested releases. so unless you want to  build from scratch stick with what you have or go find a .deb package from the empathy web site
[02:08] <leaf-sheep> Out_Cold: Please take the discussion about exploding computers somewhere else.  Preferably in ##windows.  Thank you. :)
[02:08] <poorubuntuguy_> hi folks... my ubuntu raid1 box is messed up, when i try to boot up i see the ubuntu logo and nothing else.... i'm in the live cd right now.  before this i tried to fix the /dev/md0 (/) and /dev/md1 (/home) partitions by "sudo fsck /dev/md0" but i see: "fsck.ext2: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/md0; The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2"   what to do now (yes i have a backup
[02:08] <poorubuntuguy_> thats in the cloud but restoring takes days)
[02:08] <Out_Cold> it was directly related to ubuntu and support leaf-sheep :p
[02:09] <lasivian> Out_Cold, yes, I admit I cannot do that now, I am wishing I could :)

[02:19] <smackdaddy> ubuntu 9.10 x64
[02:19] <Plan9> I'm looking for a tool which shows all installed hardware, any suggestions?
[02:19] <Plan9> cli or gui doesn't matter
[02:20] <Plan9> I am just overwhelmed by the huge amount of software in the repo
[02:20] <Out_Cold> Plan9, lspci
[02:20] <RpzPre> lshw lists hw
[02:20] <travmon> sys info
[02:20] <laeg> do i have to configure every app that uses audio manually to use alsa, how come it doesn't default to alsa?
[02:23] <duck_tape1> is it possible to run 32bit app's under amd64 ubuntu?
[02:23] <dtownhero> duck_tape1: yes
[02:23] <Eneerge> duck_tape1, yeah
[02:23] <duck_tape1> 32bit binaries even
[02:23] <mizery> My installation of xubuntu is using a built-in configuration for Xorg.  How can I configure/create a hardware-specific configuration to use instead?
[02:23] <dtownhero> duck_tape1: search for ia32-libs in your repositories
[02:23] <dtownhero> mizery: check /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[02:23] <duck_tape1> dtownhero: how do i do that?
[02:24] <mizery> dtownhero, It doesn't exist
[02:24] <laeg> do i have to configure every app that uses audio manually to use alsa, how come it doesn't default to alsa?
[02:24] <dtownhero> mizery: you can create your own but you will need to know the important info like driver version you have installed - etc...
[02:24] <Guest13066> hi.i have installed ubuntu9.04 on my laptop however, mostof the disk space is locatd at /host. may i know how can i adjust the space to /muo/Desktop?
[02:25] <mizery> dtownhero, I can handle that.  Will I have to write one frm scratch or is there a tool/app I can use to generate one?
[02:25] <dtownhero> duck_tape1: use Synaptic package manager to search for ia32-libs if you are not familiar with command line
[02:25] <Plan9> thx guys lshw was the right thing ;)
[02:25] <RpzPre> no :)
[02:25] <dtownhero> mizery: if you have an nvidia or ati card the drivers should auto-gen one for you, what card are you using?
[02:25] <kb1kdw> anyone have experience with lilo on 9.10?  I have it installed, but I have some failures when updates come out for the kernel.
[02:26] <dtownhero> duck_tape1: Menu > System > Admin > Synaptic Package Mgr

[02:27] <mizery> dtownhero, 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01)
[02:27] <dtownhero> mizery: I don't believe you can customize very much of that card
[02:27] <laeg> sixtila: congratulations, i still have xp but never use it, it just sits there being mocked by ubuntu
[02:27] <mizery> I agree
[02:27] <laeg> crap
[02:27] <duck_tape1> dtownhero: this is server install hence dont have gui, installing synaptic via apt-get
[02:27] <laeg> do i have to configure every app that uses audio manually to use alsa, how come it doesn't default to alsa?
[02:28] <mizery> dtownhero, I just want to provide a functional/stable system for a friend.  Right now it isn't stable
[02:28] <dtownhero> duck_tape1: in that case use sudo apt-get ia32-libs and you can press tab a few more times to see other possibilities
[02:28] <dtownhero> mizery: it will function but I doubt you'll be able to run anything more than flash games on it
[02:28] <dtownhero> mizery: what is the problem with the default config it has?
[02:29] <nak> How do I properly kill X without it restarting?
[02:29] <nak> Each time I do CTRL+ ALT+ F1 the Xorg/gdm binaries are still running.
[02:29] <nak> killall -9 gdm-binary Xorg just restarts them
[02:30] <nmoss> try `sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop`
[02:30] <dtownhero> nak: logout out to login screen and do alt + f2 to login via console
[02:30] <dtownhero> if even your login screen is running you cannot kill X
[02:30] <dtownhero> nmoss: you'll only be able to do that from a console login
[02:30] <cn28h> nak, as an aside, -9 should be a last resort if term doesn't work
[02:30] <duck_tape1> HP sucks.. they call rpm's "hpacucli-8.35-7.0.noarch.rpm" and force dependencies on 32bit libs
[02:30] <dtownhero> you cannot kill X while using Xchat because it uses X
[02:31] <dtownhero> you cannot kill X period while logged in any other way then via console
[02:31] <dtownhero> so logout
[02:31] <dtownhero> at login screen press alt + f2
[02:31] <dtownhero> login via console
[02:31] <dtownhero> do sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[02:32] <dtownhero> then ps -ef|grep gdm to ensure no remnants are running
[02:32] <cn28h> or just pgrep gdm
[02:32] <dtownhero> that too
[02:32] <Pest1> anyone here that i was talking to just a bit ago
[02:32] <nmoss> Well, AFAIK you *can* do it from e.g. gnometerm, as long as you're happy with it killing your session.
[02:32] <nmoss> :)
[02:32] <dtownhero> and if it kills your session what do you do?
[02:32] <dtownhero> you login via console login
[02:32] <dtownhero> again
[02:33] <dtownhero> so you might as well just logout
[02:33] <Bigrobc> can anybody help me install the ATI display driver. i'm trying to setup compiz but its giving me an error with the default driver
[02:33] <Pest1> so it says it missed up sectors of my hard drive
[02:33] <losha> Nak: are you doing this in order to build/install nvidia drivers?
[02:33] <dtownhero> Bigrobc: have you downloaded their shell script fromt he ATI site?
[02:33] <soreau> Bigrobc: Pastebin the error
[02:34] <TheLearningC> hi, how do you find a group?
[02:34] <soreau> ! pastebin | Bigrobc
[02:34] <dtownhero> TheLearningC: a group for what?
[02:34] <losha> TheLearningC: google, mostly...
[02:34] <soreau> Bigrobc: And please come to #compiz so we can help you without all this noise
[02:34] <TheLearningC> Adobe
[02:34] <nak> losha: yes
[02:34] <dtownhero> you mean channel?
[02:34] <TheLearningC> yes
[02:35] <losha> Nak: then dtownhero's sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop should work fine...
[02:35] <dtownhero> if there is a channel on this net for it you could do /join #adobe
[02:35] <nak> losha: I'm doing this to install nvidia drivers.
[02:35] <nak> thanks.
[02:35] <dtownhero> losha: what did I miss with nak?
[02:35] <TheLearningC> dtown, is there a way to search oall of the channels in every group?
[02:35] <losha> dtownhero: nothing, you were right, I was just confirming...
[02:36] <dtownhero> TheLearningC: only on every server
[02:36] <dtownhero> TheLearningC: do a /list
[02:36] <LuisGMarine> is there any command to check if someone is on my wireless network?
[02:36] <dtownhero> LuisGMarine: no, you will need to look at your router.
[02:36] <LuisGMarine> I turned off wireless routing on my router, but I walked out my room and there is this random ass guy just sitting here
[02:36] <LuisGMarine> and I think he's mooching off my internet
[02:36] <LuisGMarine> and as soon as I turned off my router he closed his laptop and left
[02:37] <LuisGMarine> now my internet is back to normal speed, but when he was outside it was lagging
[02:37] <dtownhero> LuisGMarine: if wireless is off now he cannot access it. My recommendation is using Mac Filtering + WPA
[02:37] <TheLearningC> Luis, just restrict connection by Mac Adderss
[02:37] <RpzPre> dam hackers :)
[02:37] <dtownhero> TheLearningC: even that can be spoofed.
[02:37] <dtownhero> it's very simple to spoof your mac for wireless access
[02:37] <TheLearningC> yes, but most of the time not
[02:37] <mtoroyarzo> w
[02:37] <TheLearningC> only by hackers
[02:37] <dtownhero> well that's why I suggest multiple forms of security
[02:37] <dtownhero> doesn't take a hacker man
[02:38] <dtownhero> just somebody that can watch a youtube video
[02:38] <TheLearningC> hahah
[02:38] <LuisGMarine> lmao
[02:38] <LuisGMarine> very true
[02:38] <TheLearningC> I guess, it all available these days
[02:38] <LuisGMarine> if you can work google you can do anything
[02:38] <dtownhero> the thing is - the more methods of security you put in the less likely they are going to get in.
[02:38] <dtownhero> it's like a street block - you have 10 houses you can break into 3 have bars 4 have dogs 2 have alarms and one has nothing
[02:39] <dtownhero> where are you gonna go?
[02:39] <TheLearningC> hahah
[02:39] <TheLearningC> yep,
[02:39] <dtownhero> put a few bars up I.E. mac filtering + wpa key - nobody is gonna bother
[02:39] <dtownhero> and if they do
[02:39] <dtownhero> you probably know them already :p
[02:39] <frogzoo> dtownhero: the one's with the alarms, duh
[02:40] <dtownhero> frogzoo: you may have a point LOL
[02:40] <dtownhero> I have a police scanner and trust me cops get tired of responding to false alarm buzzes
[02:40] <muo> hi
[02:41] <muo> i just installed ubuntu on my laptop
[02:41] <dtownhero> muo: grats!
[02:41] <lifestream> what's your question? :P
[02:42] <dtownhero> lifestream: I think he's just overjoyed
[02:42] <jedivulcan> ubuntu = win
[02:42] <researcher1> I was suggested to install grub-pc in this chat but my PC still fails to boot. I can only see this  message  Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported.   For   the   first   word,  TAB  lists  possible  command    completions.  Anywhere else TAB lists the possible    completions of a device/filename. ]  grub>. Anybody can HELP? PLEASE?
[02:42] <muo> but the disk space most of them are located at /host. how can i shift to to /muo/Desktop
[02:42] <zengeos> hmmm...just had a thought
[02:42] <lifestream> dtownhero, I'm overjoyed I install ubuntu,  since breezy badger
[02:42] <dtownhero> muo: you can use gparted to move stuff around but you can't really do that while the partitions are mounted I.E. you're using them
[02:42] <zengeos> it's a rare occurence!!!
[02:42] <lifestream> dtownhero, but see, he did have a Q ;p
[02:42] <dtownhero> muo: you should have done that during the install
[02:43] <gdiz> hello everyone, has anyone messed with the hulu desktop for linux?  Specifically does anyone know if you can run it from the terminal?  I'm getting a gtk error which makes me think not.
[02:43] <dtownhero> lifestream: I'm sorry that I'm passing him the bad news. :(
[02:43] <lifestream> ;p
[02:43] <muo> dtownhero: when i install the ubuntu, it said..specify installatioin size.i selected only 10 GB
[02:43] <muo> the rest of the 150 GB is now at /host
[02:44] <zengeos> muo that should be ok as long as you also have a swap space I would think
[02:44] <muo> zengeos: i was expecting most of the disk space is located at my own /muo
[02:44] <muo> rather than at /host
[02:44] <dtownhero> zengeos: it's not OK to have 150g of space you cannot access
[02:44] <dtownhero> muo: if that space is not mounted you can do it
[02:44] <muo> i can access to the /host currently
[02:45] <dtownhero> muo: but you'll have to put it somewhere other then muo
[02:45] <dtownhero> muo: that's not a bad idea though, here is why
[02:45] <Double> download the gpated boot disk http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[02:45] <dtownhero> the way you have it now, you can save your music and movies and whatever else to the 150g space in /host
[02:45] <Mike_lifeguard> Hi, my flash plugin has stopped working after an upgrade. Could someone let me know a recent working version number so I can try reverting to that? (flashplugin-nonfree, I think?)
[02:46] <dtownhero> that way if you ever have to reinstall you only have to install over the 10g partition and you can save all of your files on the other partition
[02:46] <dtownhero> however if you want to change stuff check out gparted
[02:46] <dtownhero> !gparted | muo
[02:46] <Out_Cold> Mike_lifeguard, try reinstalling the same version
[02:46] <Fizix> Hey guys, what's the name of that program that'll read ATI's windows drivers binary and allow you to use it for Ubuntu?
[02:46] <muo> dtownhero: so i cant shuffle the remaining 150gb to /muo/?
[02:46] <TMK> Mike: try grabbing the .tar.gz version of flash from adobe
[02:46] <dtownhero> muo: it depends on how you have things mounted
[02:46] <ubuntu_> Can someone help explain to me how to install grub on its own. I want to put grub on an external hard drive. Is this possible?
[02:46] <dtownhero> muo: but gparted will tell you what you need to know
[02:46] <muo> err..im using 9.04
[02:47] <muo> what should i sudo aptget install?
[02:47] <Out_Cold> muo, you can mount that 150gb to /muo/muo/muo/muo if you wanted... just hve to adjust for it
[02:47] <arooni-mobile2> hi folks if my drive just hangs upon startup, does that mean i should just reinstall ubuntu on it?
[02:47] <arooni-mobile2> hi folks on boot up, ubuntu hangs and just shows me the logo, does that mean i should just reinstall ubuntu on it?
[02:47] <dtownhero> muo: you probably already have gparted but my recommendation would be to use a live cd to edit the partitions
[02:48] <thinesh_> i tried to make password proctect the folders but y it sdidt ask for the password again.
[02:48] <dtownhero> muo: this way you ensure none of the partitions are mounted and in use, while booted to the live CD
[02:48] <dooglus> how do I set configuration for xorg now that we don't have xorg.conf?
[02:48] <dooglus> I want to turn on the BackingStore
[02:48] <dooglus> !xorg.conf
[02:48] <darthanubis> muo, my advise is to reinstall and this time choose a sane partition plan and use that
[02:48] <maco> dooglus: xrandr
[02:48] <dooglus> !xrandr
[02:48] <muo> i am now in the link youve given..which one should i choose to download ?
[02:49] <dtownhero> muo: unfortunately I agree with darthanubis.
[02:49] <dooglus> thanks
[02:49] <DarkMasterHalo> z
[02:49] <Double> create a new xorg.conf ??
[02:49] <muo> darthanubis: reinstall the whole ubuntu?
[02:49] <darthanubis> yup
[02:49] <dtownhero> muo: not so fast
[02:49] <muo> so this time i should not select 10GB ..rather the whole 150GB as file installation size?
[02:49] <darthanubis> nope
[02:49] <dabomb69> How would I enable X11 forwarding on Ubuntu?
[02:49] <darthanubis> a partition plan
[02:50] <dtownhero> muo: please PM me
[02:50] <dooglus> maco: is that a guess?  there's no mention of BackingStore in the xrandr man page.  I don't think BackingStore is related to the xrandr extension is it?
[02:50] <Double> with ssh dabomb?
[02:50] <dtownhero> dabomb69: you have openssh-server installed?
[02:50] <maco> dooglus: i dont know what backingstore is
[02:50] <dabomb69> dtownhero, yup
[02:50] <Double> http://tldp.org/HOWTO/XDMCP-HOWTO/ssh.html
[02:50] <maco> dooglus: just that xrandr is how you configure X now
[02:50] <darthanubis> 20 gb for / 30 gb for /home 2gb for swap and whatever is left for /storage
[02:50] <dtownhero> dabomb69: when you connect to remote server use the -X and -Y flags
[02:50] <septyni> hello
[02:50] <Double> was looking into it yesterday so had it bookmarked :D
[02:50] <darthanubis> somthing like that
[02:50] <dooglus> maco: xrandr is how you configure the RandR extension only I think
[02:50] <dabomb69> dtownhero, k, ty. =)
[02:50] <arooni-mobile2> i need to send one of the drives in my raid1 array back to seagate... how do i DISABLE software raid1 i set up with mdadm so that i am only using sda ?
[02:51] <Out_Cold> darthanubis, i have a 300 gb home directory in lvm that continues to grow...
[02:51] <maco> dooglus: are you trying to do something other than resolution, panning, screens, etc?
[02:51] <rawr_> i have a multi monitor setup, it defaults my left monitor as the main monitor but i wish to have the one on the right as the main monitor.  possible?
[02:51] <dooglus> maco: RandR is "Resize and Rotate"
[02:51] <maco> dooglus: aye....? what are you trying to do?
[02:51] <Out_Cold> rawr_, look into xrandr and yes it's possible
[02:52] <Out_Cold> rawr_, what graphics card?
[02:52] <researcher1>  I installed  grub-pc using LIVECD but my PC still fails to boot. I can only see this  message  Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported.   For   the   first   word,  TAB  lists  possible  command    completions.  Anywhere else TAB lists the possible    completions of a device/filename. ]  grub>. Anybody can HELP?   What is the point of the "now playing" section?  All it does is show the banshee logo.  Nice logo and all but it seems kinda pointless?  Are there visualizations or something I can get?
[02:54] <matju> probably not
[02:54] <mizery> dtownhero, Problem is: Xorg/xfce/desktop environment freezes after some time of usage.  I am able to log into the system remotely, however.  So it is a desktop issue.
[02:54] <Mike_lifeguard> matju: #ext4 on irc.oftc.net
[02:54] <vixermixer> i am exploring different tools, and wonder why wireshark only captures the traffic from the machine i am running it on? I thought it is supposed to capture all network traffic, or does that require special config?
[02:54] <Mike_lifeguard> matju: (which is also for ext2/3)
[02:54] <mizery> dtownhero, I am providing a configuration and I believe it will solve the issue
[02:55] <matju> Mike_lifeguard: ok, but if i have a hard problem with fs recovery, are they ok with that?
[02:55] <Out_Cold> vixermixer, requires certain configuration i think
[02:55] <vixermixer> oh ok
[02:55] <dtownhero> mizery: ahh, you're sure it's not overheating?
[02:55] <Out_Cold> read the docs
[02:55] <Mike_lifeguard> matju: Topic for #ext4 is: ext[234] development :: http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org :: list archives at http://marc.info/?l=linux-ext4
[02:55] <dtownhero> mizery: I have a lappy that dies on XFCE when overheating
[02:55] <TheVenerableZ> is there an easy way to upgrade qt 4.5 to 4.6 in ubuntu, or do I have to do a clean install?
[02:55] <Mike_lifeguard> matju: I don't think they advertise themselves as a support channel, but they've been helpful to me in the past
[02:56] <matju> Mike_lifeguard: great, i'm going there! :)
[02:56] <melik_> how can i set the mouse cursor theme with .xinitrc?
[02:56] <vixermixer> what is the easiest to configure mail server for ubuntu distro?
[02:56] <Mike_lifeguard> matju: good luck!
[02:56] <Out_Cold> totally offtopic but i'll take the hits... my bday is in 2 days and it's supposed to be -30 C. what garbage :'(
[02:57] <matju> Out_Cold: where?
[02:57] <Out_Cold> cgy canada
[02:57] <zengeos> That would put me Out Cold too!
[02:57] <RiotingPacifist> I've lost all sound :( http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=9b5a31c8a78a308e620798261b8feafdb6521e08 , it seams ok and then BANG the tools fail and i get no sound any ideas?
[02:58] <josh__> So im trying to add my wifi driver but have never had to add a .ucode how do i do this?
[02:58] <matju> Out_Cold: wow, never seen the "cgy" abbreviation before
[02:58] <RiotingPacifist> !alsa
[02:58] <Out_Cold> "calgary"
[02:59] <mizery> dtownhero, I'm sure it's not overheating.  It's  desktop
[02:59] <matju> Out_Cold: yeah, i know, i could guess.
[02:59] <dtownhero> mizery: ahh
[02:59] <dtownhero> mizery: well there are no drivers for that card
[02:59] <dtownhero> so you'd have to hand code a x file
[02:59] <mizery> =/
[02:59] <dtownhero> indeed
[02:59] <matju> Out_Cold: but there aren't many 3-letter abbrs that are used outside of airport codes... i always see MTL, BCN, NYC, not much more.
[03:00] <mizery> I suppose I could stick a pci card into the system and use that.
[03:00] <Out_Cold> our airport code is yyc
[03:00] <TheVenerableZ> !lol
[03:00] <dtownhero> mizery: if xfce is freezing the system there is something else wrong with it
[03:00] <dtownhero> mizery: have you checked power supply and that the chip is secure in the board?
[03:00] <TheVenerableZ> haha, glad ubottu knows what's up
[03:00] <OttifantSir> Does anyone here know how I can get Desktop Drapes to work again? I told it to monitor a remote folder for backgrounds, a folder with apx 10,000 pictures. It locked up. I have purged the program and reinstalled it twice, but it still won't start anymore.
[03:00] <matju> Out_Cold: well, airport codes in Canada are not abbreviations. but in some countries they are. I recall GRZ = Graz, for example
[03:01] <mizery> dtownhero, I am logged into the system via ssh.  I'm positive it is an issue with the vga chipset/driver.
[03:01] <mizery> I can install a pci card and it should work.
[03:01] <mizery> pci gpu
[03:01] <dtownhero> mizery: doesn't crazy via ssh?
[03:01] <vixermixer> what should the values for myhostname and mydestination in postfix be ?
[03:01] <mizery> dtownhero, nope, I am able to use the system normally via ssh
[03:01] <dtownhero> mizery: yeah man you're on it, put a pci card in that hizzy
[03:01] <RiotingPacifist> how do i redownload a config file?
[03:01] <Double> do a hostname -f in the shell
[03:01] <vixermixer> oki
[03:02] <vixermixer> ok thats what i have for hostname when i restart postfix it gives misplaced delimiter error
[03:02] <OttifantSir> Does anyone here know how I can get Desktop Drapes to work again? I told it to monitor a remote folder for backgrounds, a folder with apx 10,000 pictures. It locked up. I have purged the program and reinstalled it twice, but it still won't start anymore.
[03:02] <matju> Out_Cold: ow, that's true, -30 on sunday!... lucky you, i am only getting -10 for the first time this saturday.
[03:03] <vixermixer> valid_hostname: misplaced delimiter: tralivali.hsd1.il.comcast.net.
[03:04] <Double> the . at the end?
[03:04] <vixermixer> oh]
[03:04] <LC> #Lamego
[03:04] <LC> exit
[03:05] <Double> you need to type / quit without the space
[03:06] <josh__> how do you add .ucode drivers
[03:07] <vixermixer> ok i was able to succesfully start postfix server after reinstallation. For a basic website SMTP do i need to change any settings?
[03:07] <OttifantSir> Does anyone here know how I can get Desktop Drapes to work again? I told it to monitor a remote folder for backgrounds, a folder with apx 10,000 pictures. It locked up. I have purged the program and reinstalled it twice, but it still won't start anymore.
[03:07] <Simtoon> hi
[03:08] <Simtoon> i need to create a link to a folder
[03:08] <Simtoon> how do i do it
[03:08] <Simtoon> with commands?
[03:08] <Double> as in a softlink?
[03:08] <Gummi_> Simtoon, do you mean a symlink?
[03:08] <Out_Cold> i think the tool is ln
[03:08] <Simtoon> yeh
[03:08] <Simtoon> so how would i do it?
[03:08] <Gummi_> Out_Cold, Simtoon, it's   ln
[03:09] <Simtoon> Gummi_, how would i use ln
[03:09] <david> hello
[03:09] <Out_Cold> Simtoon, start with man ln
[03:09] <syn-ack> Hey I've got a somewhat odd question that I've never even considered... is there anyway I can add a directory to my "Places" menu?
[03:09] <Simtoon> :(
[03:09] <Gummi_> Simtoon, dunno, want me to read the manual with you?
[03:09] <vixermixer> in postfix config can i enter my gmail address or it has to be servers account name to receive mail over smtp?
[03:09] <maco> Simtoon: ln -s existingfolder newname
[03:09] <Double> ln -s /diriwanttolink  /where
[03:09] <maco> Simtoon: so like: ln -s /usr/share/sounds  ~/sounds
[03:09] <Guest20044> why can't i play flash movies on my firefox
[03:09] <Double> ls -l
[03:09] <Simtoon> thanks
[03:10] <Gummi_> Guest20044, because you dont have flash installed?
 uninstall all plugins like swfdec and gnash and then go to package manager and find flash installer...
[03:10] <Double> vixermixer you cant recieve mail over smtp only send
[03:10] <Guest20044> i do have it installed
[03:10] <dtownhero> vixermixer: that's a bit of overkill
[03:10] <Fizix> I have problems with flash
[03:11] <Guest20044> i installed swfdec
[03:11] <Gummi_> Guest20044, what version of flash, what browser (version), how did you install it?
[03:11] <Chamunks> Anyone know how I could change http://myserver.com/torrentflux to http://myserver.com/something else with the version that installs from the repo's?
[03:11] <Guest20044> 10
[03:11] <Gummi_> Guest20044, try flash-nonfree
 thx, i dont need to receive any mail just send, but this line confuses me:: <Double>
[03:11] <vixermixer>  │ If this value is left empty, such mail will be saved in                   │
[03:11] <vixermixer>  │ /var/mail/nobody, which is not recommended.
[03:12] <vixermixer> Guest20044, uninstall swfdec and get flash installer
[03:12] <IdleOne> Guest20044: you want to install flashplugin-installer
[03:12] <vixermixer> i386 and x64 both supported by native flash installer no need for 3rd party plugs
[03:12] <Guest20044> ok hold on
[03:13] <dabomb69> Is there a way to login as another user in terminal?
 sudo -s
[03:13] <IdleOne> Guest20044: also remove swfdec as vixermixer suggested
[03:13] <dabomb69> ok, ty
[03:14] <vixermixer> sorry thats root access.. misread your q
[03:14] <Bigrobc> do Jump Drives work on Ubuntu?
[03:14] <mitnick> :)
[03:14] <OttifantSir> Does anyone here know how I can get Desktop Drapes to work again? I told it to monitor a remote folder for backgrounds, a folder with apx 10,000 pictures. It locked up. I have purged the program and reinstalled it twice, but it still won't start anymore.
[03:15] <mitnick> wrong nick
[03:15] <vixermixer> if Root and postmaster mail recipient:  is left blank in postfix - will smtp still work?
[03:15] <xzcvczxx> i am trying to install postgresql on ubuntu 8.04 on a vps, i have installed it successfully but none of the configuration options come up, is there a way to trigger these post install and just do it in the console?
[03:15] <Brandon> Hi, but which repository can I download VMware Player from in Ubuntu 9.10? Because apt-get isn't finding the package?
[03:15] <eaglestar> hi how safe is it to upgrade from version 9.04 to 9.10 in the update manager?
[03:15] <mattwj2002> hi everyone
[03:15] <IdleOne> eaglestar: backup and upgrade :)
[03:15] <GarryMcKinnon> hi mattwj2002
[03:15] <mattwj2002> I know this isn't the #ubuntu-cloud channel but there is no one home
[03:15] <researcher1> Double , I dont know what am I booting into. I just power on my PC. And this is what I see.Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported.   For   the   first   word,  TAB  lists  possible  command    completions.  Anywhere else TAB lists the possible    completions of a device/filename. ]  grub>
[03:16] <Guest20044> ok and install flash
[03:16] <Chamunks> Anyone know how I could change http://myserver.com/torrentflux to http://myserver.com/something else with the version that installs from the repo's?
[03:16] <smackdaddy> how can i completely block any connection to my server that doesnt have a reverse dns   9.10
[03:16] <Guest20044> right
[03:16] <mattwj2002> can I still talk about it here?
[03:16] <IdleOne> mattwj2002: try asking, maybe someone knows
[03:16] <vixermixer> anyone know if apache2 directives enough to route domains from godaddy total dns manager, if i just point domains to same ip?
[03:16] <Gummi_> Brandon, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware/Player
[03:17] <mattwj2002> okay thanks
[03:17] <vixermixer> or would i need bind
[03:17] <mattwj2002> I am trying to use it to make a cluster
[03:17] <Gummi_> Brandon, virtualbox might also do the trick perhaps....
[03:17] <mattwj2002> does the cluster for uce work with regular 32 bit linux software?
[03:17] <Brandon> Gummi_, it has to be from a repository
[03:18] <Gummi_> Brandon, doesn't virtualbox do it for you? it is in the official repo
[03:18] <Double> the server will still need its internal dns configured vixermixer to resolve the domain once the request hits the server
[03:18] <Brandon> Gummi_, it also HAS to be  vmware player for what I'm doing. I apologize
[03:19] <mattwj2002> I love the idea of doing a cluster
[03:19] <mattwj2002> :)
[03:19] <Double> so you will need bind
 oh well... i guess more playing with bind, it's just so abstract to me...
[03:20] <Brandon> Gummi_, let me describe what I'm doing. I'm trying to make a live cd custom with vmware player on it.
[03:20] <opticon> i have hp deskjet f340 printer anyone know if theirs way to get drivers for this printer is shared on windows network im trying to install shared printer on ubuntu
[03:20] <vixermixer> because i am trying to config bind using the ubuntu server guide :) maybe when i hit the road block i ll ask here :)
[03:21] <Brandon> Gummi_, I'm following this guide to an extent
[03:21] <Brandon> http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-customize-your-ubuntu-live-cd-p2
[03:21] <eliot_> why can't i render my videos to mp4 in kdenlive?
[03:22] <Gummi_> Brandon, you might then want to read in synaptic on what vmware-package does. it looks strange but might be what you might like
[03:23] <researcher1> I have ubutnu already installed
[03:23] <researcher1> presently on LIVE CD
[03:23] <Brandon> Gummi_, It HAS to be vmware PLAYER
[03:23] <muo> anyone uses wubi?
[03:23] <researcher1> my ubuntu worked well until I install remastersys
[03:23] <researcher1> I backedup with remastersys and the systme now cant start
[03:23] <Gummi_> Brandon, no I think it creates vmware player package
[03:24] <Double> and you get gnome on the live cd?
[03:24] <syk> boring
[03:24] <researcher1> lemme check
[03:24] <syk> sorry
[03:24] <Brandon> Gummi_, it'd be easier to find the package in a repo instead though. I have to use vmware player or it does not count. Remember my goal here, I'm making a custom live cd with vmware player on it.
[03:24] <researcher1> yes I get genome
[03:25] <Double> and when do you get the message?
[03:25] <researcher1> when I power on. Just see black screen and ...
[03:25] <lwb> why
[03:25] <Double> powering on after an install?
[03:26] <Chamunks> Anyone know how I could change http://myserver.com/torrentflux to http://myserver.com/something else with the version that installs from the repo's?
[03:26] <Brandon> Gummi_ continuing where I left off it has to be through apt-get
[03:26] <researcher1> and I see this message Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported.   For   the   first   word,  TAB  lists  possible  command    completions.  Anywhere else TAB lists the possible    completions of a device/filename. ]  grub>
[03:26] <syn-ack> erg
[03:26] <researcher1> yes powering on after install after taking out LIVECD
[03:26] <Sloppy> so, i install ndiswrapper, get the proper windows drivers for the task, then i use ndiswrapper -i. and i get the following error: Error: no ndiswrapper utils found!
[03:27] <Nperil> <--- newb to ubuntu and finally found dial up and need to know how to connect it
[03:27] <Sloppy> ndiswrapper -i netbc564.inf thats the command i used
[03:27] <Brandon> Sloppy, contact your ISP
[03:27] <mark__> Hi all I was wondering if there is such an app or process that will shut down ubuntu at a certain time or a countdown timer? thanks
[03:27] <Guest20044> ok i still get nothing
[03:27] <Sloppy> Brandon, no one at my ISP understands linux
[03:28] <Sloppy> ndiswrapper is capable of handling my wireless issue
[03:28] <Double> sounds like grubs corrupted or the install went wrong to me
[03:29] <duck_tape> http://paste.ubuntu.com/339062/ this is on ubuntu 9.0.4 amd64 server edition
[03:29] <Orion777> does ubuntu come with the newest drivers for everything preinstalled(minus video card)?
[03:29] <kija> mark__: app called gshutdown is available in the software rep
[03:29] <duck_tape> anybody have any ideas why the rpm would fail on /bin/bash  among others?
[03:29] <mark__> thanks Kija
[03:30] <Orion777> I'm having internet problems, could there be newer drivers for my wifi card?
[03:30] <researcher1> so what shall I do now?
[03:30] <IdleOne> duck_tape: not sure what you are doing but why are you using an rpm?
[03:30] <duck_tape> IdleOne: coz its the only thing HP provides
[03:30] <lwb> my 3d desktop can not work. I had done a lot of work.but it still can not work
[03:30] <duck_tape> and yes HP *sucks*
[03:30] <Nperil> <--- newb to ubuntu and finally found dial up and need to know how to connect it
[03:30] <syn-ack> I beg to differ
[03:31] <IdleOne> !alien  | duck_tape
[03:31] <syn-ack> Nperil, first does the modem actually work?
[03:31] <ath_> heya; wondering if anyone else is having any problems with the proprietary ati drivers on karmic 2.6.31-16?
[03:31] <woodford_> 3d desktop need graphics driver from vendor
[03:31] <Brandon> Gummi_ do you know what to do in this scenario
[03:31] <Nperil> as far as i know
[03:32] <syn-ack> Nperil, have you tested it?
[03:32] <ath_> woodford_, that's not even vaguely helpful.
[03:32] <Nperil> wouldnt know how
[03:32] <on3m0r3f15h> just sayin hi
[03:32] <syn-ack> Nperil, the reason I'm asking is because MOST laptop modems don't work in linux well most modems don't by defualt
[03:32] <Double> researcher1 easiest option reinstall
[03:32] <lwb> thank you,woodford .
[03:32] <Nperil> its on a pc
[03:32] <syn-ack> Nperil, Can you see the modem in your lspci?
[03:33] <woodford_> ok what's your graphics card, nvidia or ATI?
[03:33] <lwb> nvidia
[03:33] <researcher1> shall I reinstall the whole of UBUNTU 9.10 ?
[03:33] <Sloppy> well, since no one here can help me. i guess i'll just ditch ubuntu.
[03:33] <Nperil> no
[03:33] <Sloppy> peace
[03:33] <syn-ack> Nperil, does lshw show it?
[03:33] <researcher1> Double:shall I reinstall the whole of UBUNTU 9.10 ?
[03:33] <woodford_> do you install nvidia's dirver?
[03:34] <lwb> yes
[03:34] <Nperil> no
[03:34] <syn-ack> Nperil, chances are, its an Conexant modem then
[03:34] <Nperil> think i need a new one
[03:34] <syn-ack> Nperil, Go to linuxant.com and follow their directions
[03:34] <syn-ack> Nperil, be warned however, that that method is NOT supported by Ubuntu and that it can and may break things
[03:35] <Nperil> ooohhhhhh that might be a problem
[03:35] <woodford_> lsmod |grep nvidia
[03:35] <syn-ack> Nperil, Actually, I can pretty much guarantee that you're going to break Pulse Audio with that driver
[03:35] <lwb> at first It can work.but after I upgrade the system to 9.10 .there is something wrong with it
[03:36] <Nperil> so it would be better to just get a new modem
[03:36] <syn-ack> Nperil, if you can find one with a UART in it that'd be great.... meaning not a freaking winmodem
[03:37] <Nperil> shouldnt be hard
[03:37] <syn-ack> Nperil, Those, I hate to say are a dying breed these days
[03:37] <woodford_> any echo when you run "lsmod |grep nvidia" ?
[03:37] <lwb> no
[03:37] <lwb> nothing
[03:37] <rawr_> i have a multi monitor setup and want to use my monitor on the right as the primary but x apparently insists on having my left monitor be the primary.  xrandr --output HDMI-0 --primary apparently is not correct.  been fishing through the xrandr help files and googling but can't seem to get it.  using an ATI 4870
[03:38] <syn-ack> Nperil, I know 3Com still makes the old 56k Serial Modems... even updated for USB! :P
[03:38] <syn-ack> Those are mucho expensive though
[03:38] <Nperil> you guys are the best. and thanks syn ack
[03:38] <syn-ack> Nperil, np
[03:38] <Guest20044> it works
[03:38] <lwb> what's the problem
[03:38] <Nperil> well if it has to have it then it has to have it. thanks
[03:38] <woodford_> it seems you need reinstall nvidia driver
[03:39] <rawr_> bleh that sounds fun :(
[03:39] <rawr_> also notice ATI 4870
[03:39] <Kensey> weird issue when I log into KDE
[03:39] <lwb> ok.I'll have a try
[03:39] <Kensey> compiz.real + Xorg eat ~95% CPU
[03:39] <Fizix> That it's not Gnome? I have that issue too :P
[03:40] <soreau> rawr_: Switch the monitor cables ;)
[03:40] <Kensey> if I go to a prompt and type compiz --replace & everything stabilizes
[03:40] <researcher1> If I reinstall will it delete earlier program installations,settings and configurations?
[03:40] <rawr_> soreau: tried that.  it seems whatever monitor i select as being on the left it uses as primary
[03:40] <soreau> Kensey: Possible diver memory leak
[03:40] <Kensey> obviously I need it to run whatever that is instead of compiz.real, but how?
[03:40] <Kensey> well this is a Dell Lat with Intel graphics
[03:40] <kija> ubuntu shows blank screen after 5 min.. cannot watch videos.. really annoying.. how to fix it?
[03:41] <Kensey> so I think it's trying to do acceleration but not AIGLX.  Or something?  Dunno really
[03:41] <soreau> Kensey: on ubuntu, compiz is a script that runs compiz.real (the binary) with appropriate options based on your setup
[03:42] <soreau> Kensey: So it is likely some graphics driver issue, possibly a memory leak
[03:42] <Kensey> but why would running compiz again fix it?
[03:43] <soreau> Kensey: Which graphics driver are you using?
[03:43] <Kensey> and why would it be specific to KDE?
[03:43] <soreau> Because kde sucks?
[03:43] <Kensey> I set it up to use AIGLX but that was like two releases ago.  I haven't actually configured it in years.
[03:43] <Fizix> Mmm, I'll second that soreau
[03:44] <Kensey> hardware-wise I think it sees an Intel 915 device
[03:45] <skeet0r> hey all, anyone know of a way to play a .divx movie with .idx files in VLC?
[03:45] <skeet0r> whenever I try to open a .idx I get an error with VLC
[03:47] <kija> skeet0r: try mplayer
[03:47] <skeet0r> kija, have you had any luck with that?
[03:48] <mheld> I don't understand why I can see a file, but when I try to execute it, I get a "No file or directory" error (I've chmod 777'd it)
[03:48] <kija> skeet0r: i havnt tried it yet
[03:48] <losha> skeet0r: if idx files work like other subtitle files, you don't open them directly. You open the divx file and the player looks for the same name with an .idx extension to get the subtitles....
[03:49] <arghh2d2> mheld: you cant execute just any old file like windows .exe's
[03:49] <Kensey> mheld: if it's not in your $PATH you have to specify the path to it
[03:50] <arghh2d2> mheld: if you are in the same directory as the file try putting a ./ in front of the file name example: ./file
[03:50] <losha> mheld: what file is it?
[03:50] <skeet0r> losha, I know thats how it works in Windows Media Player but in VLC it doesn't work
[03:50] <skeet0r> Im gonna try mplayer now
[03:50] <skeet0r> losha, have you had any luck with ubuntu media players and sub files?
[03:50] <mheld> Kensey, it's in /usr/bin
[03:50] <researcher1> hi
[03:50] <losha> skeet0r: I've not tried them since I upgraded. Let me see if I can find one and try it...
[03:50] <weijia> mplayer ,join it
[03:51] <Kensey> what's the filename?
[03:51] <mheld> vglclient
[03:51] <mheld> -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 1021286 2009-06-25 04:25 /usr/bin/vglclient
[03:51] <kija> skeet0r: normally i just drag and drop the sub files on to the video in vlc
[03:51] <Kensey> so if you type /usr/bin/vglclient you get?
[03:51] <arghh2d2> mheld: make sure the file is executable for you: ls -l
[03:52] <arghh2d2> what
[03:52] <mheld> when running /usr/bin/vglclient I get ->mheld@geekmbp:~$ /usr/bin/vglclient
[03:52] <mheld> bash: /usr/bin/vglclient: No such file or directory
[03:52] <weijia> sudo /usr/bin/vglclient  tey it
[03:53] <mheld> same results
[03:53] <skeet0r> kija, what type of sub files?
[03:53] <skeet0r> .idx?
[03:53] <Kensey> I wonder if it's trying to open a file, failing, and terminating with that error
[03:53] <mheld> i mean, it's not a big deal, but I'm confused
[03:53] <Kensey> what does file /usr/bin/vglclient tell you?
[03:53] <kija> skeet0r: havnt tried it with idx but srt works
[03:53] <arghh2d2> Kensey:  i was thinking maybe it's a link
[03:54] <mheld> arghh2d2, something links to it
[03:54] <Bondy> can you navigate to /usr/bin/vglclient?
[03:54] <mheld> but I can't execute that either
[03:54] <Kensey> that sounds good to me
[03:54] <Nperil> syn ack:
[03:54] <Bondy> not been following this just logged on
[03:54] <mheld> Bondy, it's a file; so I can go to /usr/bin and execute ./vglclient
[03:54] <Kensey> so it works if you're in the directory but not otherwise?
[03:55] <Bondy> you need to include the ./vgclient then
[03:55] <mheld> no, it still gives an error
[03:55] <mheld> sorry for the miswording
[03:55] <Kensey> ah
[03:55] <Nperil> does any one know if backtrack supports a win modem or does it have to have a uart modem
[03:55] <Kensey> what does file /usr/bin/vglclient say?
[03:55] <mheld> it's an executable
[03:55] <losha> skeet0r: Just tried it. mplayer finds and displays the subtitles automatically. vnc sees the subtitles in the video menu but doesn't seem to display them....
[03:55] <mheld> I can do a strings of it, but there's no human readable code in it
[03:55] <weijia> ./filename
[03:56] <Bondy> have you given it executable permissions?
[03:56] <mheld> it has every permission possible
[03:56] <Kensey> so it's a binary file
[03:56] <kija> please help.. ubuntu shows blank screen after 5min.. power management options not working.. how to fix it?
[03:56] <mheld> hell, I'd let it piss on my carpet if it works
[03:56] <alex87> join #drupal
[03:56] <Kensey> kija: screensaver settings?
[03:57] <_DNS777_> ah lol this is linked with freenode
[03:57] <_DNS777_> ^_^
[03:57] <mobiskeet71> kija, can I pm you?
[03:58] <kija> Kensey: wheres the screen saver settings?
[03:58] <Bondy> try /usr/bin./vglclient
[03:58] <losha> mheld: exactly where did you get this vglclient from?
[03:58] <mheld> VirtualGL.org (.com .net?)
[03:59] <mheld> it was a .deb
[03:59] <kija> mobiskeet71: yeah sure
[03:59] <Kensey> best thing I can think of is to strace /usr/bin/vglclient
[03:59] <Kensey> see if that tells you anything useful when it dies
[03:59] <mheld> "no such file or directory" :-)
[03:59] <mheld> yay weird shit
[04:00] <mheld> it's not a big problem, the client isn't something I need now
[04:00]  * Keiya sighs
[04:00] <Kensey> so strace never even invokes it?
[04:00] <mheld> Kensey, correct
[04:00] <Keiya> Windows 7 trashed my MBR and wrote its own over it.
[04:00] <losha> mheld: is it a dead link? What does ls -l /usr/bin/vglclient say about it?
[04:00] <Keiya> Of course.
[04:00] <Bondy> ./ means its hidden
[04:00] <losha> !mbr
[04:00] <mheld> losha, it's linked to, not a link
[04:00] <IdleOne> Bondy: /.file-name means it is hidden
[04:01] <mheld> alright, I've gotta hit the sack. Thanks for all the help
[04:01] <Kensey> sure mheld
[04:01] <osmosis> Why does the default Ubuntu install not have any protection to disable the touchpad when a user is typing?
[04:01] <mobiskeet71> anyone ever have any luck with playing .idx files in ubuntu?
[04:01] <perith> which firewall package should i install? looking for something easy to use for a beginner but still good.
[04:01] <mobiskeet71> the only success Ive ever had is with windows media player which is a huge PITA
[04:01] <IdleOne> !touchpad | osmosis
[04:01] <Kensey> Keiya: I dunno about Win7 but in XP it's actually possible to set things up so NTLDR will boot Linux
[04:01] <weijia> :-D
[04:02] <bodi> hello all
[04:02] <Kensey> I had to do that to keep XP happy once
[04:02] <Bondy> does win7 use ntldr
[04:02] <Kensey> that I don't know
[04:02] <losha> mobiskeet71: mplayer seems to find and displays idx subtitles automatically, but not vnc...
[04:02] <Kensey> but I would bet whatever it uses can be configured for multiboot
[04:03] <Bondy> I cat see any reasons why not
[04:03] <Bondy> cant*
[04:03] <losha> perith: ufw is supposed to be easy to configure. Disclaimer: I've never used it myself...
[04:03] <osmosis> IdleOne, thats a crapload of info. Shouldnt it be default behavior ? Its the biggest complain I get from people I try to show Ubuntu who usually use windows. Their touchpads dont work correctly.
[04:03] <mobiskeet71> hmm I get the following error when I try to play from mplayer: Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device
[04:04] <osmosis> IdleOne, it just makes me wonder if anyone has ever filed a bug on that.
[04:04] <Rajasun> use the graphical frontend to ufw i.e gufw -> sudo aptitude install gufw
[04:04] <IdleOne> osmosis: it is actually just a couple steps to get it disabled when typing. read through it
[04:04] <IdleOne> osmosis: I'm sure plenty have filed bugs on it.
[04:04] <bodi> i have a ? about bt am i in the right place?
[04:05] <declan2> Hey guys. I have a very old machine with ubuntu on it in the other room. It actually has internet, and I can connect and browse. But I'm having some major trouble updating, it just keeps saying "404 not found" and stuff when I do sudo apt-get update
[04:05] <Bondy> whats the question about bodi?
[04:05] <losha> mobiskeet71: try mplayer -vo x11 ....
[04:05] <DNS777> is here an ubuntu channel too concentrated on the packages and dev.?
[04:06] <DNS777> or in this also?
[04:06] <DNS777> :-)
[04:06] <Kensey> declan2: maybe very old repo files?
[04:06] <declan2> Kensey: I would guess so. How can I fix that?
[04:06] <IdleOne> DNS777: #ubuntu-dev
[04:06] <DNS777> ty IdleOne
[04:06] <IdleOne> declan2: what version of ubuntu?
[04:06] <losha> declan2: probably a no-longer supported version. What does /etc/issue say?
[04:06] <Bondy> what country you in declan?
[04:06] <declan2> IdleOne: 7.10 supposedly
[04:06] <declan2> Bondy: USA
[04:07] <IdleOne> declan2: lsb_release -a to make sure
[04:07] <Kensey> I think if you pull up synaptic it will automatically offer to update your repos, but I dunno if your version is that old
[04:07] <Bondy> could be the repo servers having issues or could be to do with the issues the London exchange has been having
[04:07] <bodi> backtrack 4 partitioning i have windows v on c drive and has partition d as restore cant i format that drive and do a dual boot like that?
[04:07] <declan2> IdleOne: Ok, one sec. It's in the other room
[04:07] <Bondy> its not the exchange isues then if your in the usa
[04:07] <elconsulto> is there an easy way to swap to a different video card driver in 9.10?
[04:07] <declan2> Kensey: You mean using the GUI one?
[04:07] <Kensey> yeah
[04:07] <tsunami> off hand anyone know how to get cURL module installed?
[04:08] <IdleOne> Bondy: download the Alternate CD and use that to upgrade or backup and fresh install. 7.10 is no longer supported
[04:08] <kekekekekeke> i ran ndisgtk in terminal and upon attempting to install the appropriate driver (there is only one listed for HP, supposedly it should work fine) i get the feedback: FATAL: Could not open '/lib/modules/2.6.24-26-generic/ubuntu/misc/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper.ko': No such file or directory
[04:08] <declan2> IdleOne: Yeah, it's 7.10, gutsy
[04:08] <IdleOne> declan2: download the Alternate CD and use that to upgrade or backup and fresh install. 7.10 is no longer supported
[04:08] <IdleOne> Bondy: sorry :)
[04:08] <declan2> wtf
[04:08] <maxagaz> How to copy all files found using "find ./" to /my/directory ?
[04:08] <declan2> Can I not just get the new kernel too?
[04:09] <Kensey> from 7.10 you'd have to dist-upgrade through each version to current to upgrade reliably
[04:09] <declan2> Wow
[04:09] <declan2> wtf
[04:09] <declan2> argh
[04:09] <IdleOne> Kensey: does it still dist-upgrade after EOL?
[04:09] <declan2> Ok, how can I install arch straight from ubuntu?
[04:10] <Kensey> see that's the thing, you can't dist-upgrade without an archive
[04:10] <perith> how does uwf compare with firestarter or other firewalls?
[04:10] <Guest89544> bodi: yes you could reformat your recovery drive and use that, but you would be better off leaving it and shrinking your windows partition, then creating a new partition for ubuntu
[04:10] <IdleOne> declan2: try sudo upgrade-manager -d
[04:10] <declan2> IdleOne: To do what?
[04:10] <jordan_> hey i need some help getting set up. it took me an hour to figure out how to get an irc client to get help in the first place lol
[04:10] <IdleOne> to upgrade
[04:10] <Rajasun> perith: it depends. both are easy. but easy is a relative thingy isn't it?
[04:10] <declan2> Ok, lemme try
[04:10] <jordan_> anyone wanna go in private chat?
[04:11] <Kensey> with Debian I actually had to go to the Debian archives when I upgraded sarge -> lenny
[04:11] <Asad2005> How do i get rid off these errors "W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net karmic Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY EC9C35EAEF400C7C"
[04:11] <losha> jordan_: we don't chat much here. Try #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:11] <Kensey> or maybe it was potato -> sarge
[04:11] <Rajasun> perith: go with gufw first probably. if you don't like it, you can then try firestarter.
[04:11] <jordan_> haha i meant like help chat
[04:12] <IdleOne> jordan_: ask your question and someone will help if they can
[04:12] <declan2> IdleOne: I apparently don't have upgrade-manger
[04:12] <declan2> manager*
[04:12] <tsunami> noone here uses cURL do they?
[04:12] <IdleOne> declan2: Alternate CD is the way then.
[04:12] <bodi> yes but is it safe that way ? the chances of success with out having problems that way
[04:12] <declan2> IdleOne: Yeah, getting arch so I don't have to do this crap again...rolling updates ftw
[04:13] <IdleOne> declan2: up to you :)
[04:13] <IdleOne> declan2: backup!
[04:13] <Bondy> you need to add the key for the resporitry asad
[04:13] <jordan_> well i have a bcm43xg wireless card and i cant get it to work i currently have a wired network all the ubuntu repo sources
[04:13] <declan2> IdleOne: do you know of any good way to install another distro just from a working linux desktop?
[04:13] <jordan_> srry i mean universal repo source
[04:13] <IdleOne> declan2: I don't sorry
[04:14] <losha> declan2: do you mean a cd-less install?
[04:14] <perith> rajasun: gufw? graphical ufw?
[04:14] <Rajasun> Asad2005: Try sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com EF400C7C; sudo aptitude update
[04:14] <Guest89544> Jordan: enabled non-proprietary drivers?
[04:14] <Rajasun> perith: graphical frontend to ufw yeah
[04:14] <perith> rajasun: nm, found it
[04:14] <jordan_> Guest:how
[04:16] <mizery> An update to my issue from previous message: syslog( http://is.gd/5j34W )
[04:17] <jordan_> ?
[04:17] <Guest89544> jordan: it may not be the issue.. but in gnome gui its in the administration menu> drivers?
[04:17] <Guest89544> something like that
[04:17] <Bondy> system>admin menu>hardware drivers
[04:18] <bastid_raZor> declan2: technically a dist-upgrade is a form of rolling update.
[04:18] <sal_> jordan goto system/admin/hardware drivers
[04:18] <jordan_> oh ok well i went to go activate it and it wont activate>
[04:18] <sal_> jordan.  the bcm is proprietary, select it and click to enable drivers
[04:18] <IdleOne> jordan_: any errors?
[04:18] <mark__> Does anyone know how to set different sound devices for different applications using pulse audio?  I'm trying to set my bluetooth headset for only skype, I can only find a way for all audio to go through it or none.
[04:18] <syilo> ok everybody listen up, I KNOW somebody in here has to have a google wave invite
[04:18] <mark__> ubuntu 9.10
[04:18] <bastid_raZor> syilo: people do in #ubuntu-offtopic  .. loads of them
[04:19] <Blue1> is there a way to set the mouse acceleration? I've set it to the minimums (System/Preferences/Mouse) but it's still too fast...
[04:20] <syilo> thanks
[04:20] <sal_> jordan check your file browser in /lib/firmware for the folders b43 and b43 legacy ..
[04:22] <wrapster> is there a hot key to lock screen. on ubuntu
[04:22] <sal_> jordan. also check your package mngr to be sure you have the b43 fwcutter package installed
[04:22] <jordan_> srry i had to reboot
[04:22] <Asad2005> Rajasun: it did not work should i put http://ppa.launchpad.net instead of keyserver.ubuntu.com
[04:22] <jordan_> k
[04:22] <wizard-and-the-g> does anyone know how to throttle the download speed in mercurial
[04:22] <wizard-and-the-g> ?
[04:23] <jordan_> sal_:im going to reinstall it jic
[04:23] <jordan_> sal-:done
[04:24] <jordan_> sal_:now what?
[04:24] <Rajasun> Asad2005: No. What you need is the key. And these are store on a keyserver.
[04:25] <sal_> you have the b43, b43 legacy files in /lib/firmware and the b43fwcutter pkg?
[04:25] <Asad2005> Rajasun: why EF400C7C and not the full EC9C35EAEF400C7C
[04:25] <Rajasun> Asad2005: depending on the repo, onwer may have changed hois key but not have it outdated. Your options then: 1.) if you a security conscious kind of guy, disable that repo for the time being 2.) Irnore that error
[04:25] <sal_> try thr hardware drivers again and try to activate it
[04:26] <Rajasun> Asad2005: You can try with that whole string or you can just pick up the last alphanumeric characters
[04:26] <Rajasun> Asad2005: You can try with that whole string or you can just pick up the last 8 alphanumeric characters
[04:28] <Asad2005> Rajasun: I have the same error with http://archive.ubuntu.com karmic-updates and security
[04:29] <bodi> I have read many forums of doing it that way, but what is really the right way yo partition like that?
[04:29] <bodi> oops to
[04:29] <Rajasun> Asad2005: re-run sudo aptitude update. Sometimes, it is but a transient phenomenon. Sometimes not. But I usually have no issues with the main server.
[04:30] <Asad2005> Rajasun: When i tried imort key it says key 437D05B5: "Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key<EMAIL_ADDRESS>not changed
[04:30] <starwind> anyone aware if I'll have trouble if I try to dual boot between an upgraded karmic(ubuntu) using legacy grub and karmic(kubuntu) using grub 2 since its default?
[04:31] <Asad2005> Rajasun: So why it gives error when doing apt-get update
[04:31] <Rajasun> Asad2005: Then it ain't an issue. Ignore. Will go away soon enough.
[04:32] <Joshh100> hey all, any of you guys familiar with a way to play .idx subtitle files in ubuntu?
[04:32] <Joshh100> I always get an error in VLC when trying to do so
[04:32] <Rajasun> Asad2005: Ubuntu doesn't change its package signing key for the duration of the same release. Not a usual occurance amongst distros in general.
[04:33] <jordan_> hey so it rebooted my computer
[04:33] <losha> Joshh100: 3rd time tonight someone's asked this. It seems to work with mplayer but not vlc...
[04:33] <sal_> what distro you running?
[04:33] <Guest89544> starwind: it shouldn't be a problem.  grub2 is different to configure, but either will work
[04:33] <Joshh100> hah yea it was me on the other comp sorry..
[04:33] <Joshh100> I cant get it to work on mplayer either
[04:33] <jordan_> just the regular ubuntu
[04:34] <Billiard> Joshh100: i think idx goes with sub, do you have both files?
[04:34] <Joshh100> I was wondering if there is a better program aside from these two
[04:34] <Joshh100> yes I do
[04:34] <starwind> thanks
[04:34] <sal_> yeah, but which one ..?
[04:34] <Joshh100> it works so damn easily in windows
[04:34] <Billiard> Joshh100: i would try to find some srt files, sub is crap, sir
[04:34] <sal_> hardy 8.04, etc ??
[04:35] <Joshh100> do they load in VLC?
[04:35] <Guest89544> yes
[04:35] <Billiard> Joshh100: yes srt is text file, any decent player can use them, sub is like pictures its crap
[04:35] <MSK> Hi, I am using Ubuntu 9.04 and need to have a Voice and Video chat from yahoo and gmail .. please suggest me which messenger i need to configure ?
[04:36] <sal_> check @ /sys/admin/sys monitor -- should say which release you're using
[04:36] <Joshh100> hmm well Im trying to find .srt file for these subs
[04:36] <losha> Joshh100: my mplayer complains it can't read the subs file, but then reads & displays them anyway....!
[04:36] <david> how do i  restore grub after installing vista?
[04:36] <Joshh100> hm
[04:37] <Guest62007> how do i  restore grub after installing vista?
[04:37] <jordan_> k well it restarted again
[04:37] <sal_> sounds like your having more issues than just wifi
[04:37] <minh> HI
[04:38] <losha> !mbr | Guest62007: see if this helps...
[04:38] <minh> ARE U AMERICAN
[04:38] <MSK> Hi, I am using Ubuntu 9.04 and need to have a Voice and Video chat from yahoo and gmail .. please suggest me which messenger i need to configure ?
[04:38] <UbuntuLily> I am new to Ubuntu.  I switched my laptop from Vista (Gag) to Ubuntu 9.10.  Fresh install.  I am having issues reading DVD's.  I don't think the problem is due to CSS because 1- I installed it to no avail and 2- I tried an Unencrypted DVD.  Its strange though because when I put in a CD drive works fine, when I put in a DVD is doesn't acknowledge anything in drive
[04:39] <bodi> lilly do search a new driver
[04:40] <Joshh100> Billiard, this is a thing of beauty
[04:40] <edgenet2009> ?
[04:40] <Joshh100> I found a great website with a ton of subs in .srt
[04:40] <Joshh100> no problems whatsoever
[04:40] <Joshh100> stupid .idx and .sub
[04:40] <Joshh100> wtf is the point
[04:40] <Joshh100> haha
[04:40] <FloodBot2> Joshh100: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:40] <Guest89544> MSK: I don't know about pidgen, but Kopete will allow you to use yahoo with video. you need to get and configure a package called "jasper" after you configure kopete
[04:40] <bodi> what is it josh
[04:40] <Hilikus> is anyone here using or know of anyone using a SATA drive to IDE interface converter?
[04:40] <Billiard> Joshh100: yea, srts are text so they can be rendered at any font and size and stuff, sub is pictures and they are all low res
[04:40] <UbuntuLily> Driver for DVD?
[04:40] <Beezie> Hilikus, yes
[04:40] <Hilikus> if so, does ubuntu recognize them?
[04:41] <Beezie> Hilikus, sorry i meant sata > usb
[04:41] <MSK> Guest89444 : thank you.. what about audio chat ?
[04:41] <Hilikus> cause AFAIK some of them are transparent, but some others need drivers
[04:41] <UbuntuLily> Beezie - I am using one
