[00:09] <Out`Of`Control> Hi, will there be gnome 3 with Ubuntu 10.10?
[00:09] <st__> Out`Of`Control, no obviously
[00:09] <Habs_> Sometimes, the connect to a network icon on my top bar (Ubuntu 10.04) disappears and I can't connect to a network. I can usually connect to any I have it set to autoconnect to by running killall gnome-panel, but then I still don't see the network bar. Any suggestions?
[00:09] <st__> gnome 3 will never be at all
[00:09] <Out`Of`Control> ?
[00:09] <nogo> gnome is not a normal package

[00:31] <mr_mead> it is mountable, has correct blkid output, is described correctly in Bios and by linux....  I'm flumoxed.
[00:31] <Fishscene> Does Ubuntu support the TRIM command in SSD's?
[00:33] <nogo> Fishscene: i am curious, is trim in the spec of scsi?
[00:33] <Fishscene> nogo: I have no idea.
[00:34] <joe_ed> how can i remv the hard carriage returns in a large file ^M's
[00:34] <nogo> Fishscene: is it better that the sdd can support trim out of box?
[00:34] <mr_mead> I've been in here a couple times already today, and no one has been able to really help.
[00:35] <jbrouhard> mr_mead, what do you need help with /
[00:35] <nogo> a real man can help himself
[00:35] <bradley> I NEED HELP!
[00:35] <Fishscene> SSD's depend upon the OS to tell them which blocks are free. This is done through the "TRIM" command which is very important in maintaining the drive.
[00:36] <mr_mead> jbrouhard:   I recently replaced a failing HD. The replacement (one I have used before) is not seen by the ubiquity installer yet is configurable by gparted when I boot from 10.10 or 10.04 USB startdisks

[00:36] <bradley> I am very very new to ubuntu. i just installed it on my sony vaio laptop. i googled how to fix it and i dont get it. my apls touch pad does not work
[00:36] <jbrouhard> it sounds like the USB Startdisk might be a problem to me.  I'd try booting off CD if at all possible
[00:37] <aleak> test
[00:37] <bradley> Please help, sony vaio  apls touchpad not working on ubuntu
[00:37] <mr_mead> jbrouhard: good idea, one of the few things I haven't done.  I don't have any blank CD's though.  Plus I've put 10.04 on this exact system (except different HD)
[00:37] <jbrouhard> mr_mead, is there no way to get a CDROM drive on your computer to try it that way ??  Sounds like the USB startdisk may not have the proper drivers for ubiquity (i haven o idea how that works anyway)
[00:38] <jbrouhard> mr_mead, exact same method I presume?
[00:38] <marenostrum> Hello. All countdown banners that we embed to our websites are changed to "The next version of Ubuntu is coming soon" text (I believe it happened today) instead of a countdown. Is there any problem?
[00:38] <mr_mead> jbrouhard: yes, same method. but how can pampliset and gparted have all the data and not ubiquity?
[00:39] <jbrouhard> mr_mead, I have no idea, really.  Is the hard drive known to be good, or is it possible it may be going bad as well ?
[00:39] <bradley> Does anyone know how to make my touch pad on my laptop worj?

[00:52] <q0_0p> has anyone gotten an atom n270 to play hulu fine?
[00:52] <q0_0p> just wondering
[00:53] <Braber01> what risks am I taking if I decide to unblock the telnet port on my router?
[00:53] <q0_0p> Braber01, why telnet
[00:54] <nogo> telnet is the lover of scrpt kiddles
[00:55] <Braber01> q0_0p: because I want to acess my computer from school and I can't download anything on the campus computers I also doubt I can find an web version of SSH
[00:55] <Habs> So, bottom line, the little wifi icon won't show up on my top bar and I can't connect to the Internet. Help a newbie out please?
[00:55] <st__> telnet is ok
[00:55] <nogo> even a bare ssh server is dangerous. you need something special to protect it
[00:56] <q0_0p> Braber01, telnet is plain text though
[00:56] <Braber01> q0_0q I understand that
[00:56] <q0_0p> someone could easily grab ur credentials if they wanted to
[00:56] <Braber01> nogo: how so?
[00:56] <nogo> hehe
[00:56] <q0_0p> i forget but there is software that does it easily
[00:56] <q0_0p> remember doing it in class
[00:56] <nogo> not auto blocking as you think
[00:57] <jiffe99> tcpdump?
[00:57] <nogo> no
[00:57] <st__> just setup firewall...
[00:57] <nogo> if you can figure it out, it's not secure anymore
[00:57] <q0_0p> true
[00:57] <nogo> you may know it at 10 years later
[00:57] <Habs> Is there a way to easily connect to a network through a terminal perhaps?, although a fix would be better.
[00:57] <bobstro> q0_0p:  if they're not local to you, and you're not on a hub, it would be hard. but still, i'd use ssh instead.
[00:58] <Braber01> my pasword is ********* do you think sombody can crack a password of that length?
[00:58] <bobstro> Braber01:  can you use a usb flash drive, portableapps maybe?
[00:58] <q0_0p> they wouldn't need to crack
[00:58] <bobstro> Braber01:  well, it would be cleartext with telnet
[00:58] <q0_0p> if u have nothing to hide then i guess its ok :)
[00:58] <bobstro> Braber01: so if someone were using dsniff at the school router, they'd have it
[00:59] <shodue> Does anyone know how to save an image as a .RAW file?
[00:59] <Braber01> bobstro: usb) no because all the school's computers are !windows, telnet) I know telnet is clear text
[00:59] <notworking> what software program can I use to record a youtube video to my harddrive
[00:59] <bobstro> Braber01:  portableapps are windows
[00:59] <LjL> !info youtube-dl | notworking
[01:00] <bobstro> Braber01:  oh.. NOT windows? what are they?
[01:00] <LjL> shodue: the ".RAW" extension can be basically everything
[01:00] <Braber01> bobstro that ! was to indacate a trigger.
[01:00] <q0_0p> shodue, mv somefile new.RAW
[01:00] <notworking> im using ubuntu 10.04 what software program can I use to record a youtube video to my harddrive
[01:00] <bobstro> shodue:  you won't be able to recover loss
[01:00] <st__> RAW is manufacturer-dependant
[01:00] <LjL> Braber01: err, you can sniff from windows too, you know
[01:01] <shodue> okay let me be more specific, I want to take an image, and convert it to a RAW image
[01:01] <bobstro> st__:  i thought it was a standard lossless format? no?
[01:01] <st__> no
[01:01] <Braber01> LJL I know, but the school has it so nobody can download any thing
[01:01] <bobstro> Braber01:  if they ARE windows, might portableapps on a usb stick work to run putty or somesuch?
[01:01] <q0_0p> Braber01, u can download thru irc
[01:01] <Scunizi> shodue: is this for a camera? if so put it in the RAW mode.. then check out the ppa for Darktable.. you'll be impressed with it's edit capabilities of RAW..
[01:02] <bobstro> Braber01:  alternately, could you boot one off a bootable usb?
[01:02] <Habs> Has this happened to any of you before?
[01:02] <bobstro> Habs:  that?
[01:02] <Scunizi> shodue: the best you can do with an existing image is save as tiff
[01:02] <shodue> Scunizi: I need to take an RGB image and save each color channel as a RAW file. It must be a raw file, because i'm importing it into a program that processes a bunch of images and they require RAW format (no header and footer)
[01:02] <osmosis> is there something lspci, but for getting info about what HDs are installed in my system?
[01:02] <bobstro> Habs:  do what?
[01:03] <Habs> bobstro: "Habs: So, bottom line, the little wifi icon won't show up on my top bar and I can't connect to the Internet. Help a newbie out please?" "Habs: Is there a way to easily connect to a network through a terminal perhaps?, although a fix would be better."
[01:03] <bobstro> osmosis:  administration->disk utility should do it
[01:03] <Scunizi> shodue: all images coming out of your camera other than RAW (or whatever extension they are using) are already processed in the camera.. RAW relies on you to post-process.  As far as I know there is no conversion from say .jpg to RAW .. but there is the other way around
[01:04] <bobstro> Habs:  sounds like network manager applet isn't there. did you try to re-add it?
[01:04] <Habs> bobstro: How would I go about doing that?
[01:04] <Scunizi> shodue: what type of process are you doing with that program?  What is the program?
[01:05] <shodue> Principle Component Analysis
[01:05] <shodue> it's  a statistical analysis technique
[01:06] <bobstro> Habs:  hang on, i don't use it anymore.
[01:06] <Habs> Ok, thanks for helping me out.
[01:07] <Habs> I'm on this IRC from my phone right now by the way.
[01:07] <shodue> Scunizi, does that help at all? I can tell you the name of the program, but it's some basic script type program that a professor wrote
[01:07] <Scunizi> shodue: you should be able to strip all the exif and other extranious data from the pics
[01:08] <shodue> Scunizi, how do I do that? with a text editor?
[01:08] <Scunizi> shodue: I'm pretty sure that when they say you need a RAW file it's basically a .jpg with no info attached to it.  A couple things come to mind.. Imagemagick might be able to do that. and digikam
[01:09] <notworking> I have ubuntu 10.04 and a workspace switcher on the taskbar but when I go to another workspace and click on it, it doesnt go to that desktop
[01:09] <phil_in_london> if imagemagick can't yer pretty much outta luck I'd think.
[01:09] <bobstro> guys, help habs out. how do you get the network manager applet back? i'm not finding it in "add". i thought notification area would show it.
[01:09] <phil_in_london> swiss army knife that one is.
[01:10] <Shanc> I am new to ubuntu and was wondering how the computer section works.  Why don't the drives have assigned letters? How do I partition them?
[01:10] <shodue> Scunizi,  that's exactly what it requires, raw image data w/o the header and stuff specifying file size, etc
[01:10] <phil_in_london> habs, try a right click on your icon in the upper left most of the screen, that gets you to menu editor, then look through the options for anything related to what you want that is NOT checked and check it.
[01:11] <Scunizi> shodue: and that's where the confusion lays. when you say RAW to a photographer it means something entirely different than your goal.. I'm looking now hang on.
[01:11] <Habs> phil_in_london: Thanks, I'll try that.
[01:13] <bobstro> Habs:  also, right click on panel and select "add", make sure "notification area" is there.
[01:13] <Scunizi> shodue: yep.. imagemagick will do it.  here's a link.. when you issue the command make sure you are in the directory containing the pics you want to strip.. also some cameras save .jpgs as .JPG .. caps make a diff on what the program will do
[01:13] <Scunizi> shodue: http://scottlinux.com/?p=713
[01:13] <shodue> Scunizi, thank you!
[01:14] <Scunizi> shodue: I hope it works for yo.
[01:14] <Scunizi> u
[01:14] <jinxzs> where i can see update manager in xubuntu
[01:14] <phil_in_london> jinxzs, system/administration
[01:14] <naditya> check..
[01:14] <Scunizi> shodue: I used google.com/linux  which typically returns linux specific results.. :)
[01:15] <Habs> phil_in_london: It looks like I'm only able to edit what programs are in the top bars in that "edit menus" menu, and not the icons. And Notification Area is already added to the "Add to Panel" menu bobstro.
[01:15] <jjgalvez__> anyone having trouble with empathy? every time it starts the same person is requesting that I add them as a buddy, and every time I decline
[01:15] <naditya> my resolution display not detected.help me!
[01:15] <bobstro> Habs:  hmm. i just tested, and adding notification area brings it back for me. it was there and you just lost it?
[01:15] <phil_in_london> habs, is your login account not an administrator?
[01:16] <naditya> hello all..can u help me?
[01:16] <jinxzs> anyone who know how to file share here in xubuntu10.04 with windows

[01:16] <phil_in_london> habs, you should see all the programs/applications, only difference between those you see and those you don't are which ones are checked and which ones are not.
[01:17] <bobstro> Habs:  what about preferences->network connections? does that come up?
[01:17] <phil_in_london> personally, I'm not a huge fan of the notification app, its a little flakey.
[01:17] <bobstro> Habs:  it won't restore the handy icon, but you should be able to connect from there.
[01:17] <notworking> I have ubuntu 10.04 and a workspace switcher on the taskbar but when I go to another workspace and click on it, it doesnt go to that desktop

[01:17] <cyrus_> Hello.
[01:18] <phil_in_london> notworking, do you actually have apps running on other desktops?
[01:18] <bobstro> Habs:  is yours the only wireless in the area? do you have a hidden ssid?
[01:18] <Habs> Should I try removing and readding Notification Area? Preferences -> Network Connections does show up, but i don't know how to connect from there.
[01:18] <phil_in_london> Habs, if you have that option available to you, then definitely yes.
[01:18] <bobstro> Habs:  probably can't hurt to remove and re-add. i just did that to test.
[01:19] <bobstro> Habs:  what are details of your wireless setup?
[01:19] <notworking> phil_in_london I have the xchat on one and terminal on the other but I cant get to terminal or anyother desktop on the switcher
[01:19] <gnftoxic> Hey guys. Not so much of a ubuntu issue, more as package annoyance, and finding the right package. I compiled PHP (5.3.3) myself, and I'm having issues with libjpeg.

[01:19] <bobstro> Habs:  if you click the wireless tab, you should be able to step through it if you know the details.
[01:19] <Opettaja> Will my install of the Ubuntu 10.10 beta update to the release candidate if i run the update manager?
[01:19] <Habs> bobstro: There are 2 or three networks in my area, none of them are hidden or have any security.
[01:19] <phil_in_london> notworking, if you have one in one desktop and the other in the other desktop, how do you know its working or not? I'm a little confused by the reply.
[01:20] <seidos> Opettaja, you might to ask in #ubuntu+1
[01:20] <seidos> want even
[01:20] <bobstro> Habs:  oh... so not *your* wireless? :) if you know ssid, you should be able to connect via network connections.
[01:20] <Opettaja> Ty seidos
[01:21] <bobstro> Habs:  might be worth removing and re-adding the notification area 1st
[01:22] <bobstro> Habs:  it *did* work at one time, right?
[01:22] <notworking> phil_in_london Desktop switcher has by default  1 column and 4 desktop rows.. It is added to the taskbar and you can see all 4 desktops.. I have firefox open on desktop 1 with another tab to youtube.  I opened terminal and moved it to desktop 2,,  when I click on desktp 2 to get to the terminal, nothing happens.. but I can see the small window in the switvher showing me terminal is open.. I just cant get to it
[01:22] <Habs> bobstro: No, they're all my routers in my house. When I double click on the network in Network Connections, i just get to annedit screen. It workwd just yesterday.
[01:22] <phil_in_london> notworking, did you specifically place the terminal in a particular desktop?
[01:22] <Habs> Sorry for typos, on my phones touchscreen keyboard.
[01:22] <phil_in_london> terminal is a little different than most of the apps you're going to run.
[01:23] <notworking> phil_in_london   Yes, terminal is on desktop 2
[01:23] <phil_in_london> notworking, and yet it does not show?
[01:23] <Habs> bobstro: I don't see a remove button to remove Notification Area.
[01:24] <krabador> where is it http://static.blogo.it/ossblog/ubuntu1010rc.png
[01:24] <notworking> phil_in_london   Yes, terminal is on desktop 2 and it only shows on the small switcher app in the taskbar.. but I cant go to that desktop 2 to use terminal
[01:24] <shodue> Scunizi, i don't think imagemagick did what I was trying to accomplish
[01:24] <bobstro> Habs:  right-click on it. you might have to unlock it 1st. then remove.
[01:25] <lahwran> remind me - isn't there a command line program (possibly a gui too) that does something vaguely similar to pandora, in that it profiles music and attempts to guess similar music?
[01:25] <notworking> phil_in_london   Left clicking on the desktop or workspace switcher doesn't work.  I can add apps to any of the 4 desktops but cant get to them
[01:25] <lahwran> if anyone could remind me the name I would be grateful :)
[01:25] <Scunizi> shodue: why do you think that?
[01:25] <phil_in_london> notworking, how do you have the desktop setup? Particularily for visual effects, none, normal or extra?
[01:25] <notworking> phil_in_london  Im not sure
[01:25] <bobstro> lahwran:  not command line, but banshee has a plugin that is supposed to do something similar
[01:25] <Habs> bobstro: I don't get any right click menu when I right click "Notification Area" in the Add To Panel screen.
[01:26] <shodue> Scunizi, while it seems to have stripped the original file of some of that "EXIF" data.   The modified image is opened in a normal image viewer. If it is truly raw, wouldn't i have to specify the file size in order for the image viewer to know how to orient it?
[01:26] <con-man> anyone know how to fix a broken  pipe error when trying to connect Anope to ircd?
[01:26] <bobstro> Habs:  no, sorry. in the live panel. there may be a vertical bar only showing. right-click that. if it's not there at all, just add a new one.
[01:26] <phil_in_london> notworking, right click the desktop, click Change Desktop Background, it will present a window with tabs at the top, click Visual Preferences, tell me what you've got set in there.
[01:27] <lahwran> bobstro: I swear there was a command line player tho .. argh, what was it!?
[01:27] <Habs> bobstro: Sorry, what's the live panel?
[01:27] <bobstro> Habs:  the one with the clock and menu buttons
[01:28] <Scunizi> shodue: good question.. I don't know how that part works .. are these .jpgs you're working on?
[01:28] <notworking> phil_in_london    Thanks my friend.. I got it with your help
[01:28] <shodue> Scunizi, yes they are .jpg
[01:28] <phil_in_london> <--frustrated, fixing niece's computer, installing driver for hp printer, 230MB download W.T.F.???
[01:28] <phil_in_london> notworking, you good now?
[01:28] <Scunizi> shodue: will the program accept any other type of format?
[01:29] <notworking> phil_in_london    Im good thx     whats up with your niee's comp...
[01:29] <shodue> Scunizi, which program?
[01:29] <phil_in_london> my niece has unfortunately not seen the light, its a winblows box :(
[01:29] <tristan_> what light.
[01:29] <notworking> phil_in_london    HAHAHA   Windozzzz
[01:29] <Scunizi> shodue: the one you're trying to get these pics into / read from etc.
[01:29] <tristan_> problem?
[01:29] <phil_in_london> winblows
[01:30] <shodue> Scunizi, the program i'm trying to use cannot work with any other file format
[01:30] <tristan_> the light of pulse, clearly.
[01:30] <phil_in_london> tristan, the light at the end of the tunnel, you know, the train heading your way.
[01:30] <jinxzs> how to configure gigolo for windows sharedfiles im so new
[01:30] <shodue> Scunizi, are you suggesting i try it out with these files and see if it works? if it does, then they're acceptable?
[01:30] <Scunizi> shodue: yes
[01:31] <dominicdinada> All of a sudden my Vbox wont start i have not used it in a week or so but trying to get it to start nothing happens, i removed it all via ubuntu software center, reinstalled the packages with vboxgtk and made sure my user had permissions and still nothing
[01:31] <iceroot> dominicdinada: kernel-update in that week?
[01:32] <KillerKristin1> what is the Ubuntu Non Support Channel?  I forgot sorry
[01:32] <shodue> Scunizi, i will try that
[01:32] <dominicdinada> iceroot: i do believe so. Even ran aptitude update/upgrade to check all items and nothing else updates
[01:32] <mushroomblue> I do not consent to the terms.
[01:32] <iceroot> !ot | KillerKristin1
[01:32] <Habs> bobstro: Alright. So I removed and readded the notification area, but all I get is my printer icon.
[01:32] <KillerKristin1> thx iceroot
[01:32] <iceroot> dominicdinada: vbox needed to build some moduls for the current kernel
[01:32] <FoolishOwl> Where are the settings for gnome-appearance-properties stored? I want to reset them to defaults.
[01:33] <bobstro> Habs:  if you open a terminal and do 'ifconfig -a', does your wireless interface show up?
[01:33] <lahwran> will banshee rearrange my music collection?
[01:33] <krabador> where is it http://static.blogo.it/ossblog/ubuntu1010rc.png on maverick?
[01:33] <bobstro> lahwran:  it can
[01:33] <dominicdinada> iceroot: so let me get this right. opensource updates = no devels on the same page so everytime i update something else is going to break ?
[01:33] <iceroot> krabador: #ubuntu+1
[01:33] <KillerKristin1> I wonder if this is a support question or not?  Is there a way to setup something similar to Active Directory on Ubuntu Server??
[01:33] <joe_ed> :q!
[01:33] <Zearth> If I forward port 3306 and web(80) should a basic Ubuntu server installation have any problems serving a MySQL DB out to the net?
[01:34] <Zearth> is there some "duh!" that I missed?
[01:34] <iceroot> dominicdinada: no, normally if you update the kernel, the vbox-kernel-moduls are also updated trough apt-get
[01:34] <lahwran> bobstro: how do I make sure it won't?
[01:34] <dominicdinada> iceroot: this is about the 5th update in the recent month that has broken packages
[01:34] <sam555> hello all!
[01:34] <iceroot> KillerKristin1: samba4 has AD-support, else you want samba3 + ldap
[01:35] <jinxzs> how to set gigolo to access shared documents in windows
[01:35] <dominicdinada> iceroot: removing older libs because one package needs new libs but others dont
[01:35] <sam555> how does one remote desktop into Ubuntu 9.04 when both users are logged out?
[01:35] <Zearth> ssh?
[01:35] <iceroot> dominicdinada: its only a guess that the kernel-moduls are incorrect
[01:35] <jrib> sam555: did you install openssh-server?
[01:35] <Zearth> oh remote desktop nm
[01:35] <Zearth> vnc server?
[01:35] <Habs> bobstro: I get no interface, but I get a long list of stats. I wish I could paste them in here but I'm on my phone. They're broken up into eth0, lo, pan0, vboxnet0, and wlan0.
[01:35] <redblacktree> I am trying to configure a headless server, that I can make a remote desktop connection to.  I can connect to the server with VNC, as long as I have a monitor plugged in, but if I boot without a monitor, I cannot connect. (the connection is refused)
[01:35] <bobstro> lahwran:  there is an option to turn it on.
[01:35] <sam555> jrib: no, i just used the remote desktop option
[01:35] <dominicdinada> iceroot: i have the newest vbox from the website but have not installed yet :/
[01:35] <lahwran> bobstro: where...?
[01:35] <bobstro> Habs:  ok, wlan0 is a good sign.
[01:35] <jrib> sam555: you want vnc?
[01:36] <Zearth> why not just learn command line and use ssh?
[01:36] <Zearth> via putty
[01:36] <sam555> Zearth: I use tightvnc to remote into Ubuntu which works fine when the user is signed in, but not when it's the log in screen
[01:36] <phil_in_london> Zearth, you shouldn't need to forward 3306, unless you have some kind of funky setup going on there.
[01:36] <jrib> !vnc | sam555
[01:36] <iceroot> dominicdinada: the vbox from the website is not managed by ubuntu
[01:36] <bobstro> lahwran:  edit->preferences->general->update file and folder names
[01:36] <iceroot> dominicdinada: only the free-version is managed by ubuntu and delievering always the correct kernel-moduls
[01:36] <dominicdinada> iceroot: so in otherwords the package is "BROKEN" until further notice eh ?
[01:36] <lahwran> bobstro: oh goodie it's off :D
[01:36] <Zearth> Phil, so dont forward 3306 at therouter?
[01:36] <bobstro> lahwran:  that will re-arrange files based on metadata in the files
[01:37] <Zearth> it can all go over 80?
[01:37] <bobstro> lahwran:  yeah, i got bit once :)
[01:37] <redblacktree> jrib, Zearth: This is a home media server, so I want to use VNC so it's friendly for my wife, and so that we can run pandora and the like through web browsers
[01:37] <sam555> jrib: I am using tightvnc right now, its just that the user needs to be signed in
[01:37] <Zearth> oh. ok redblack... I ended up using PS3 for that function
[01:37] <iceroot> dominicdinada: at boot you should get a error-message telling you something about vbox-kernel-moduls. check if there are errors
[01:37] <redblacktree> Zearth: do you play pandora through your ps3?
[01:37] <jrib> sam555: that web page should offer you options
[01:37] <sam555> jrib: ok, thanks!
[01:38] <phil_in_london> Zearth, I manage mysql databases all the time, I've never had a need to do any forwarding for its port yet. Unless of course you've "laid down the law" on your router and nothing gets out unless permitted.
[01:38] <dominicdinada> iceroot: good thing i got a mac, and doze backup on when these packages fail :(
[01:38] <Habs> bobstro: Should I give you the stats in wlan0? It will take a while to type.
[01:38] <bobstro> Habs:  if wlan0 is showing up, you should be able to connect to an open network via the network connections if you know the ssid.
[01:38] <bobstro> Habs:  no, it being there is a good sign. the interface is present.
[01:38] <iceroot> dominicdinada: its never a good idea to have a mac (or apple-products) but having a backup is always a good idea :)
[01:38] <Zearth> well I thought it was either router problem or mysql server prob... can access the DB fine over LAN, just not outside
[01:38] <bobstro> Habs:  it sounds like network manager applet isn't showing but it may appear once we get you connected.
[01:38] <jinxzs> anyone how to file share xubuntu-windows
[01:39] <Zearth> redblack, cant you use the browser in PS3 for that?
[01:39] <eiwoq> iceroot, envy is bad
[01:39] <iceroot> jinxzs: samba
[01:39] <dominicdinada> iceroot: i guess it is good to have alternative when things over this way break is my point
[01:39] <phil_in_london> Zearth, the only time you should need to manage 3306 is if the database is on your system "behind" the router, then by all means you will have to point 3306 to the box that has the mysql server. But if you are just trying to use a mysql client to get out, then not necessary.
[01:39] <FoolishOwl> How can I reset gnome-appearance-properties to its defaults?
[01:39] <Habs> The SSID of the network I want to connect to is Home AP. Is there any way to connect to it through the terminal?
[01:39] <redblacktree> Zearth: it hasn't worked for me.  That browser (machine?) is really slow
[01:39] <jinxzs> yea i did install but i dont know what to do from there.
[01:39] <bobstro> Habs:  read man page on iwconfig.
[01:39] <Zearth> redblack, there is a modification you can make on the PS to make inet traffic faster
[01:39] <redblacktree> Zearth: plus, I'd like to control it from my laptop, and not have to turn on the PS3, grab a controller, etc.
[01:39] <dominicdinada> iceroot: brb checking the package failures @ bootup
[01:39] <Zearth> yeah I see
[01:39] <bobstro> Habs:  so yes, it can be done, at least for an open or WEP setup.
[01:40] <bobstro> Habs:  more difficult with WPA
[01:40] <iceroot> dominicdinada: starting vbox from terminal will also tel you the errors
[01:40] <Habs> bobstro: Ok. I'll read it now.
[01:40] <redblacktree> Zearth: that's interesting about faster internet on the PS3, I'll check that out
[01:40] <Zearth> ok Phil, yeah it is behind the router, and I need to access from the interwebs
[01:40] <bobstro> Habs:  it's something like 'iwconfig wlan0 ssid "Your SSID" etc.
[01:40] <redblacktree> so... can anyone help me get my headless server to be connectable from VNC?
[01:41] <bobstro> Habs:  read up on the scan option. that may help find one you can connect to.
[01:41] <phil_in_london> Zearth, then yep, point 3306 to the machine with the mysql server.
[01:41] <redblacktree> after doing some googling, I ended up creating an xorg.conf file, but it doesn't seem to help
[01:41] <Zearth> ok I did, but I still get my 'or die' message
[01:41] <Zearth> hmmm
[01:41] <bobstro> Habs:  you're a montreal fan?
[01:41] <redblacktree> again, with the xorg.conf, it works with the monitor plugged in, but not without.
[01:41] <OkThen> so... can anyone help me install drivers from the flash drive i used to install ubuntu?
[01:41] <cyrus_> Is there anything more to compiling with G++ than just typing in "g++ filename"?
[01:42] <phil_in_london> Zearth, have you added the "outside" user to your mysql user list and allowed that user to be "anywhere" ? This sounds like a user management issue to me.
[01:42] <Habs> bobstro: No, actually I made up this alias several years ago when I didn't even know who the Habs were, and it stuck :P
[01:43] <phil_in_london> Zearth, I'd do some reading on users rights, any user is allowed access based on assigned priviledges, but also based on where they are coming from.
[01:43] <jinxzs> done install samba and smbfs what else i do to see and access file shared by windows?
[01:43] <phil_in_london> Zearth, find the user in your mysql database, and pump a bunch of * into its record, kind of like an irc ident record.
[01:43] <isaac> Question:  I have a Fujitsu laptop, a6025.  When I move the screen (at all) relative to the keyboard the image flips out, like a video cable is loose.  When I do this it also causes any Linux I have tried so far (a lot) to either freeze up or reboot the computer instantly.
[01:44] <Andre_Gondim> is it possible to do cp -r /folder, but I don't want one of all folder
[01:44] <isaac> The question is, can a loose video cable cause Linux to flip out?
[01:44] <Pentium3> Is there an easy way to set up my IR port and use it to recieve commands from a remote control to control Rhythmbox?  My IR port is made by SMC.
[01:46] <iceroot> Andre_Gondim: imo cp dont have include, so you have to use cp with find
[01:46] <iceroot> Andre_Gondim: exclude
[01:46] <Habs> bobstro: The word "scan" isn't even in the man page for iwconfig.
[01:47] <redblacktree> oh, also, if I boot with monitor unplugged, and then plug the monitor in, it does not display anything
[01:47] <jrib> Andre_Gondim: or rsync
[01:47] <Pentium3> Is there an easy way to set up my IR port and use it to recieve commands from a remote control to control Rhythmbox?  My IR port is made by SMC.
[01:47] <Andre_Gondim> hmm, ok, thanks
[01:48] <jjgalvez__> redblacktree: don't use vnc for headless server use something like nomachine, freenx or x2go, they don't need a monitor plugged in to start the x-session
[01:49] <demonspork> what is a good network usage monitor for Ubuntu? I would love if there was a good one that could keep daily/weekly/monthly usage stats as well as a live load monitor - even better if auto generates the report in HTML or something
[01:49] <demonspork> Say CLI only
[01:50] <isaac> So a working monitor IS required for Ubuntu to boot normal desktop properly?
[01:50] <dominicdinada> iceroot: nothing showing up so far as errors
[01:51] <bobstro> Habs:  hmm.. it's been awhile since i used iwconfig, sorry. try just 'iwconfig wlan0 ap any'
[01:51] <bobstro> Habs:  then do just 'iwconfig' and see if it shows as associated.
[01:51] <redblacktree> jjgalvez__: that may be the best advice I've gotten yet
[01:51] <redblacktree> jjgalvez__: will check it out
[01:51] <redblacktree> jjgalvez__: do you have a favorite of the three?
[01:52] <bobstro> Habs:  try 'iwlist wlan0 scan'
[01:52] <Habs> bobstro: Thanks a lot, it worked!
[01:52] <tovella> isaac: i would call that a hardware error more than anything else.
[01:52] <redblacktree> jjgalvez__: also, why don't I see a console if I boot without monitor, and subsequently plug a monitor in?
[01:52] <bobstro> Habs:  you're on?
[01:52] <bobstro> Habs:  does applet show now?
[01:52] <jjgalvez__> I've used nomachine, the free version allows two users to connect, and I am currently using x2go. I really like x2go, it feels really fast and so for I've not had any issues with it
[01:53] <Habs> bobstro: I can connect, but still no applet :(
[01:53] <bobstro> Habs:  ok, well you're halfway there. did you get an ip address etc?
[01:53] <glaucous> How do I disable gnome-search-tool from indexing my files?
[01:53] <bobstro> Habs:  google around for missing network manager in ubuntu. i think i've seen help on that.
[01:54] <phil_in_london> issac, unless you have another computer that you can either telnet to or ssh to it from.
[01:54] <jjgalvez__> redblacktree: have you tried switching tty screens after you've plugged the monitor in? try ctrl-alt-F1 and see if that brings up a screen
[01:56] <iConstruct> hello everyone
[01:56] <Polopanos> I unsuccessfully tried to get unbutu to send audio over HDMI on my nvidia video-card based laptop. Now I seem to have killed all sound output. It worked by default. How can I set everything back to what it was before?
[01:56] <phil_in_london> habs, go to the top of your screen, somewhere in the middle where no icons are, then right click, select Add to Panel. Add anything about Network or Notification.
[01:56] <Polopanos> nothing is muted in alsamixer
[01:57] <redblacktree> jjgalvez__: that doesn't cause the console to appear, unfortunately. I was hopeful. :)  I am going to try to connect via ssh
[01:57] <Polopanos> volume control shows that audio is being played with its equalizer, and I've tried all output sinks
[01:57] <dominicdinada> what the heck nothing on shutdown about vbox, nothing on bootup in any of the logs that suggest errors starting virtualbox daemon but the DANG thing wont run
[01:57] <iConstruct> i have a fairly noob question about sources.list. How come there is no 'deb' line added in sources.list for programs like picasa, openoffice etc? Is it because it's supported by ubuntu team?
[01:57] <Habs> phil_in_london: The only thing related to network or notification is the Notification Area, which is already added.
[01:58] <phil_in_london> habs, remove it, then go back and add it again.
[01:58] <jjgalvez__> redblacktree: interesting let me know if ssh works, it should work
[01:58] <redblacktree> jjgalvez__: yeah, it didn't.  Now, I'm wondering if It's booting at all
[01:59] <redblacktree> jjgalvez__: I've heard of BIOS settings that cause it to halt when no vga is detected, but I didn't find any setting like that in mine
[01:59] <navetz> hi can someone help me get multiple sites working with apache2 and ubuntu?
[01:59] <jjgalvez__> redblacktree: if ssh is not working, then yes I would think that something else is going in and your not booting up at all
[02:00] <navetz> i created this file in /etc/apache2/sites-avaliable : http://pastebin.com/ranbhfvV
[02:00] <Habs> phil_in_london: Already did that a while ago. The only thing that gets changed when i remove it is my printer icon and the three little lines, which come right back after i re-add it.
[02:00] <jjgalvez__> redblacktree: if your not hearing any "beeps" when it boots I would not think its a bios or hardware issue
[02:00] <navetz> it seems to be loading the site but when I go to the servername in my web broswer it crashes
[02:00] <iConstruct> i have a fairly noob question about sources.list. How come there is no 'deb' line added in sources.list for programs like picasa, openoffice etc? Is it because it's supported by ubuntu team?
[02:00] <redblacktree> jjgalvez__: just looking at hard drive lights and such, it seems to do *something*
[02:00] <jjgalvez__> redblacktree: I think your going to have to plug in a monitor just to see it boot
[02:01] <phil_in_london> Habs, nothing that says NetworkManager Applet?
[02:01] <redblacktree> jjgalvez__: yeah, I've got a monitor I can plug in
[02:01] <redblacktree> jjgalvez__: and it does boot when I plug it in
[02:01] <jjgalvez__> redblacktree: I've had drives that looked like they were doing stuff and in the end they had failed!
[02:01] <dominicdinada> what the heck nothing on shutdown about vbox, nothing on bootup in any of the logs that suggest errors starting virtualbox daemon but the DANG thing wont run
[02:01] <Habs> phil_in_london: Definitely nope.
[02:01] <iConstruct> anyone?
[02:01] <bradley_> Can someone help me with my touchpad???
[02:01] <phil_in_london> Habs, okay, hang on then.
[02:02] <iConstruct> i have a fairly noob question about sources.list. How come there is no 'deb' line added in sources.list for programs like picasa, openoffice etc? Is it because it's supported by ubuntu team?
[02:02] <Habs> phil_in_london: Ok, thanks.
[02:02] <jjgalvez__> iConstruct: because openoffice is part of the normal repositories, you will have to add your own entry for picasa
[02:03] <bradley_> please someone help me with my touch pad. i do not know how to configure it
[02:03] <bobstro> Habs:  but you are connected and getting out?
[02:03] <bobstro> Habs:  is it possible you removed network manager?
[02:03] <iConstruct> jjgalvez: i see. So I should add it manually or through software sources?
[02:04] <redblacktree> jjgalvez__: Do you have any idea what the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" option in /etc/default/grub does?  I'm thinking of attempting the fix here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1333717 even though that's not quite the problem I have
[02:04] <jjgalvez__> through software sourse
[02:04] <Habs> bobstro: I doubt it. I don't remember removing anything. And yes, i am fully connected now.
[02:04] <snail> bradley_ troubles wiht laptop touchpads are usually best sorted by googling for the laptop model name/number
[02:04] <eTiger13> i setup chroot jail and i thought i did it for only one group but it seems like it did it for everyone. how can i change that?
[02:05] <jjgalvez__> redblacktree: no sorry grub especially grub2 is pretty mysterious to me
[02:05] <bradley_> Snail i have....i am a noobie to linux and do not understand
[02:05] <phil_in_london> habs, lets go back to where you can Add to panel again, choose Application Launcher, Forward, Preferences, Network Connections.
[02:05] <iConstruct> jjgalvez: So none of the restricted, universe, multiverse software installations automatically add it to sources.list correct? Just to confirm
[02:05] <redblacktree> jjgalvez__: no problem.  The good thing about this situation is that if I FUBAR it, I don't care.  I haven't done anything with the machine besides install Ubuntu and try to get a remote desktop to work.
[02:05] <KGF2009> soreau, I've compiled FFMPEG and downloaded the necessary codecs..What would be a sample line to use to convert a multi-track MKV file to an H.264 MP4?
[02:05] <KGF2009> ..
[02:06] <KGF2009> Stupid client, wasn't meant to highlight that person.
[02:06] <Braber01> um is it worth it to learn TC shell , the TC shell has a more familler syntax, however I know bash and am confortable with it
[02:06] <jjgalvez__> iConstruct: most of that stuff actually ends up in sources.list.d
[02:06] <jjgalvez__> redblacktree: good luck :)
[02:07] <bradley_> If anyone has configured a touchpad before...please help me. i dont know how
[02:07] <redblacktree> jjgalvez__: fyi, that setting seems to have made the startup "stuff" echo to the screen.  It hadn't been doing that.
[02:07] <dominicdinada> well that there is my problem
[02:07] <Braber01> !anyone > bradley_
[02:07] <Habs> phil_in_london: Ok, now I get the Network Connectiojs shortcut on my top bar. I can't connect to a network through Network Connections.
[02:08] <jjgalvez__> redblacktree: good to know
[02:08] <iConstruct> jjgalvez__: i see. i'm gonna check that. Also am i appearing as a normal irc chat user right now? Someone told me i should connect through port 22. I have no idea what that means.
[02:08] <phil_in_london> habs, did you already have a network connections icon before?
[02:08] <phil_in_london> habs, is this wireless you're trying to connect with, sorry, wasn't paying really good attention earlier.
[02:08] <jjgalvez__> iConstruct: I can see you and I've not using anything special to connect
[02:09] <sam555> ok, i need help cause this is WAY confusing
[02:09] <bradley_> ubottu i did not see a private message
[02:09] <iConstruct> jjgalvez__: ok thanks alot for your help. :)
[02:10] <phil_in_london> its all wayyyyy confusing :)
[02:10] <jjgalvez__> iConstruct: no worries, have fun
[02:10] <sam555> my situation:  I'm using vpn to remote desktop from a client using winxp and remote into an ubuntu 9.04 desktop using tight vnc
[02:10] <Habs> phil_in_london: I am connecting to wireless, and no, I didn't have a network connections icon before, but it doesn't help much that I have one now because i cant connect to a network through it and I can access it from System -> Preferences.
[02:11] <sam555> so everything works IF the user is signed in
[02:11] <phil_in_london> habs, use synaptec and install wicd
[02:11] <joe_ed> hi, i use ":g/\r/s\r//" to remove those pesky carriage returns.  Is there an ubuntu command line equivalent for bash?
[02:11] <sam555> however, when the ubuntu desktop that i'm remoting into just has the log in screen, i cannot remote in
[02:11] <sam555> i was told to use openssh and I installed openssh server
[02:12] <phil_in_london> sam555, have you tried ultravnc?
[02:12] <iConstruct> ubuntu rocks
[02:12] <bradley_> does anyone know how to configure a touch pad i am a linux newbie
[02:12] <{bosco}> msg nickserv identify ec&ut#1
[02:12] <Functastic> Does anybody know how to modify the error sound with a custom .ogg?
[02:12] <phil_in_london> bosco you forgot the /
[02:12] <sam555> phil_in_london: why would that be different from tightvnc?
[02:12] <Habs> phil_in_london: Ok, one sec.
[02:12] <kellnola> Functastic, sound preferences (GNOME)
[02:12] <phil_in_london> sam555, dunno, but I use ultra and I've not had the problems you speak of.
[02:13] <redblacktree> whoops... forget the slash and give everyone your password :-p
[02:13] <phil_in_london> but then I don't log into windows any more than I have to, fortunately I'm almost 5 weeks windows free, other than my nieces p.o.s. laptop.
[02:13] <Functastic> kellnola: No, sorry but I meant without a gui interface.
[02:13] <Functastic> kellnola: I don't use gnome. I probably should have stated that.
[02:13] <redblacktree> phil_in_london: you sound like an alcoholic.  windowsholic?
[02:14] <Guest76248> hey what processor is better  AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition 3.4 GHz or AMD Phenom II X6 1055T 2.8 GHz???????
[02:14] <kellnola> Functastic, which "error sound"? You mean the terminal bell?
[02:14] <phil_in_london> redblacktree, you got one of them right, but I'm certainly not a windowsholic.
[02:14] <iConstruct> haha, i'm a ubuntu-aholic :P
[02:14] <redblacktree> phil_in_london: hahaha
[02:14] <Habs> phil_in_london: So wicd is installed.
[02:14] <Functastic> kellnola: Yeah the bell.
[02:15] <phil_in_london> redblacktree, just spent an hour installing a 203mb driver for an hp printer on my niece's laptop, I was reminded how much I love winblows.
[02:15] <Guest76248> so??
[02:15] <phil_in_london> habs, go mess with the wicd, see if you can get where you need to be with that.
[02:15] <Tryptych> Guest76248 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google
[02:16] <phil_in_london> habs, b.t.w what wireless nic are you using? its not one of those softnics like the old softmodems is it?
[02:16] <kellnola> Functastic, I don't think you can ... but I'm not sure.
[02:16] <Habs> phil_in_london: "Home AP".
[02:16] <phil_in_london> habs, nah, thats your ssid
[02:17] <phil_in_london> whats the manufacturer, model of the unit?
[02:17] <redblacktree> Guest76248: check out tomshardware.com
[02:17] <redblacktree> Guest76248: they do all kinds of benchmarks and such.
[02:17] <Habs> phil_in_london: Oh. I don't know my nick then.
[02:17] <chrysanthemum> How can I get grep to return a substring of a line?
[02:17] <redblacktree> chrysanthemum: try sed
[02:17] <redblacktree> chrysanthemum: that is, pipe the output of grep to sed
[02:18] <phil_in_london> habs, nic not nick, (N)etwork (I)nterface (C)ard.
[02:18] <phil_in_london> habs, generally, you can manage your wireless through the regular network manager, so, I have to assume that your particular nic requires some kind of driver. Is it onboard, built-in kind of deal? Laptop?
[02:19] <Habs> phil_in_london: So wcid seems to work. Still not getting the top icon though. I don't know my nic, but I know I was able to connect to this network a few days ago on Ubuntu.
[02:19] <Habs> On this very same laptop.
[02:20] <phil_in_london> Habs, okay, so, wicd can see it , so its a piece of hardware familiar to ubuntu, now we just gotta figure out how to get it back into the notification bar.
[02:20] <phil_in_london> habs, what other icons are currently in your notification bar?
[02:20] <phil_in_london> habs, one other thing, no more indistriminate deleting eh?
[02:20] <RxDx> i have a core2duo, should i install the amd64 version of ubuntu?
[02:20] <chrysanthemum> redblacktree: So lets say i have a string "--name [some name]" how can sed return [some name]?
[02:21] <kellnola> RxDx, yes of course
[02:21] <phil_in_london> grep -o "--...."
[02:21] <RxDx> kellnola, amd64 supports the intel archteture?
[02:21] <Habs> phil_in_london: Printer, time, Bluetooth, sound, messages, my user, and the shutoff controls.
[02:21] <Habs> I don't remember deleting anything.
[02:21] <kellnola> RxDx, they just say "AMD64" - it's all the same thing
[02:21] <phil_in_london> habs, wow! thats a busy notification panel.
[02:21] <RxDx> will flash run with no problems?
[02:21] <RxDx> and java too
[02:22] <kellnola> RxDx, yes, none at all
[02:22] <RxDx> ok :) thanks dude
[02:22] <kellnola> RxDx, both, yes
[02:22] <redblacktree> chrysanthemum: try sed s/--name //
[02:22]  * crack05 is away (Gone)
[02:22] <redblacktree> chrysanthemum: that should work as long as you're not expecting the string "--name " in a name :)
[02:23] <chrysanthemum> redblacktree: I see what your doing there... But let's assume that the line is filled with other text before and after that, that can change
[02:23] <bastidrazor> ubottu: tell CRACK05 about away
[02:23] <kellnola> RxDx, flash and java are in the repository already, just search for them after you install
[02:23] <redblacktree> chrysanthemum: the portion of the command between slashes is a regular expression
[02:24] <phil_in_london> habs, you do have a network connections icon in your notification area right? and if so, if you right click it and click edit connections, do you have a Wireless tab?
[02:24] <redblacktree> chrysanthemum: so, you're replacing whatever matches the regex on the left, with the string on the right.  e.g. /myregex/myreplacement/
[02:24] <chrysanthemum> redblacktree: Yes, im familiar with it from vim... Though never knew i was doing sed
[02:25] <redblacktree> chrysanthemum: you were doing regular expressions, not sed
[02:25] <chrysanthemum> Right....
[02:26] <chrysanthemum> So let's say the line is "some info some thing that can change --name [some name] some more stuff that can change"
[02:26] <Habs> phil_in_london: When I right click it i just see launch, properties, remove from panel, etc.
[02:26] <chrysanthemum> Im still not grasping how to get [some name]
[02:26] <phil_in_london> is [some name] a fixed length?
[02:27] <chrysanthemum> .. /.*--name// wouldn't work because the stuff after it is still there
[02:27] <chrysanthemum> phil_in_london: No...
[02:28] <saurabh> can someone help me out with default boot loader? i am newbie
[02:28] <phil_in_london> but the possibility that [ or ] may exist in the prefix or suffix is true right?
[02:28] <chrysanthemum> Lets assume they cant
[02:29] <chrysanthemum> Some name doesnt actually have [ or ] around it... Just spaces
[02:29] <phil_in_london> but then what would be the parameters for the extraction of the subscing.
[02:29] <phil_in_london> oh
[02:29] <phil_in_london> ok
[02:29] <chrysanthemum> But i know its always one word, thst folloes --name
[02:29] <chrysanthemum> A-z
[02:29] <phil_in_london> I'd grep for x characters, x being something larger than you'd ever expect and then search the string for a space and rip the left side off.
[02:29] <redblacktree> chrysanthemum: try: sed s/.*?--name [\(.*?\)].*/\1/
[02:30] <redblacktree> chrysanthemum: I'm not sure if that's the proper way to make the .* lazy instead of greedy
[02:30] <redblacktree> chrysanthemum: so no guarantees..
[02:30] <phil_in_london> or grep "--name ........................................................" and then mangle the string for the left side up until the space.
[02:30] <redblacktree> but what we're doing there is creating a group with the (escaped) parentheses, and then referencing the group with \1
[02:31] <saurabh> irc.geekshed.net
[02:31] <chrysanthemum> Groups... Thats what i was looking for
[02:32] <redblacktree> chrysanthemum: seems like you're on your way. gl
[02:33] <Drik> Anyone free here to help?
[02:34] <Drik> hello......?
[02:34] <scribawf> hello
[02:34] <redblacktree> Drik: don't ask to ask, just ask.
[02:34] <scribawf> how do I force a kernal update?
[02:34] <Drik> i want to boot windows 7 as default instead of uberstudent in grub
[02:35] <Drik> how to do it?
[02:35] <TeslaTony> scribawf: You could install it via synaptic, or apt in the command line
[02:36] <scribawf> TelsaTony;  when I get an update of kernal it just wont install but how to do it via apt-get?
[02:37] <kellnola> scribawf, huh? just do your regular updates and you will get the new kernels. Unless, you need some special one for some reason
[02:37] <TeslaTony> scribawf: Normally "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" or "sudo apt-get install (whichever kernel it is you want)"
[02:38] <scribawf> TeslaTony;  OK think that's the direction I want to go, TNX for the guidance
[02:39] <TeslaTony> scribawf: If it doesn't work, darken our doorstep again until it does
[02:39] <Drik> i have uberstudent cicero 1.0 installed as second system with windows 7. i need to start is as default selection from the grub boot loader menu.
[02:39] <Drik> it*
[02:40] <jigar> quick question. is /etc/event.d is removed from lucid ? what is it replaced with ?
[02:40] <scribawf> TeslaTony;  hmm think sumptin' not be right?? just wont upgrade or update says nothin needed for upgrade
[02:41] <jjgalvez__> anyone having trouble with empathy? every time it starts the same person is requesting that I add them as a buddy, and every time I decline
[02:41] <TeslaTony> scribawf: Which kernel are you trying to go to?
[02:41] <Drik> i dont see "menu.lst" in boot/grub/  I need to edit it!
[02:42] <scribawf> TeslaTony;  well (I think??) the most recent, but think?? got   xxx.x.21 now
[02:42] <jjgalvez__> Drik: grub2 doesn't use it anymore
[02:42] <ross_> history
[02:43] <Drik> jiggalvez: how do i edit boot loader then?
[02:43] <jigar> edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg instead Drik
[02:43] <OkThen> heyheyheyheyhey guys
[02:43] <jjgalvez__> Drik: give https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 a look
[02:43] <OkThen> i have a question
[02:43] <OkThen> i installed ubuntu netbook off of a flash drive
[02:44] <OkThen> and it wont extract drivers off of a flash drive
[02:44] <OkThen> wat do?
[02:44] <TeslaTony> scribawf: Do you have linux-generic installed?
[02:44] <jigar> quick question. is /etc/event.d is removed from lucid ? what is it replaced with ?
[02:44] <scribawf> TeslaTony; yup sure 'nuf
[02:44] <Drik> i c thnx all
[02:44] <TeslaTony> scribawf: What about linux-headers-generic?
[02:45] <Dulak> no edit /etc/default/grub, not grub.cfg, since that will be regenerated again and your changes lost
[02:45] <scribawf> TeslaTony: Correct also
[02:45] <phil_in_london> habs, still here?
[02:45] <scribawf> TeslaTony; in fact whole machine is actin' kinda stupid, probably along with this op
[02:46] <TeslaTony> scribawf: Hrm. Those depend on the latest kernel updates...which version of Ubuntu do you have?
[02:46] <OkThen> plz
[02:46] <OkThen> help
[02:46] <sam555> does anyone know if this is still valid for ubuntu 9.04 http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=79824&postcount=2
[02:47] <jigar> hey guys.. i cant find /etc/event.d in my Lucid...
[02:47] <scribawf> TeslaTony: uh let me see umm what is syntax in terminal to find that, please
[02:47] <jjgalvez__> OkThen: what drivers are you talking about?
[02:47] <OkThen> the broadcom sta driver
[02:47] <OkThen> all of them actually
[02:47] <OkThen> it tries to install off of the cd
[02:47] <OkThen> which i do not have
[02:48] <OkThen> i have a flash drive
[02:48] <FloodBot2> OkThen: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:48] <jjgalvez__> OkThen: is this after the install? or during the install?
[02:48] <OkThen> after
[02:49] <OkThen> 10.04 is fully installed
[02:49] <OkThen> from my flash drive
[02:49] <TeslaTony> scribawf: cat /etc/issue
[02:49] <jjgalvez__> OkThen: BTW most drivers are actually compiled in the kernel so are you sure you need them, is something not being recognised?
[02:49] <JohnTeddy> I did a regular Ubuntu install, everything works great. I've decided I want to encrypt all my data by default. So I suppose everything in /home? What is the best way to do this, is there a guide somewhere?
[02:49] <scribawf> TeslaTony;  ok will tell 'ya in a sec
[02:50] <OkThen> yes i need the broadcom sta driver for my wifi on my dell inspiron 1501 to work
[02:50] <OkThen> thank you for helping by the way :D
[02:50] <jjgalvez__> OkThen: Also you can go into your sources and tell it not to use the CD, and it will get everything from the internet
[02:50] <OkThen> but i dont have internet.... how do i do that?
[02:50] <scribawf> TeslaTony:  9.10 \n \t
[02:51] <scribawf> TeslaTony, thats 9.10 \n \l
[02:51] <ramon> hi all. im having trouble connecting to an AP with hidden SSID. Ubuntu just won't connect at all. I know its not a prolem with the AP or my hardware, because i get no problems with this when in Windows.
[02:51] <jjgalvez__> OkThen: on now its making sense, do you not have a wired connection? sometimes you have to use a wired connection to get things started, like downloading wireless drivers, which I don't think would be on the CD anyway
[02:52] <TeslaTony> scribawf: OK. So an older version. the latest kernel might not have been released for it.
[02:52] <OkThen> I have no wired connection, but I have a flash drive and I could use it to transfer drivers from windows to ubuntu
[02:52] <ramon> ive already downlaoded drivers and everything. it works fine with a BSSID. but not with hidden SSID
[02:52] <chrysanthemum> Ok... So here's another one... I now have a name.. And i want to cat a file that is name.txt ...
[02:53] <scribawf> TeslaTony:  do you recommend to upgrade to 10.04, but a little nervous about that as had an instance on a machine and lost alot
[02:53] <jigar> hi everybody. I am still waiting for help on my /etc/event.d missing thing
[02:53] <chrysanthemum> How can I get echo "name" | ??? equivalent to cat name.txt
[02:53] <jjgalvez__> OkThen: ok then you are going to have to find the deb file for the driver you need and install that directly using dpkg
[02:54] <OkThen> i found the file
[02:54] <OkThen> but when i try to extract it it looks for it on the cd
[02:54] <phil_in_london> jigar, never heard of /etc/event.d   perhaps you're talking about trapping events that plugging devices in cause?
[02:54] <jjgalvez__> OkThen: is is a deb?
[02:54] <TeslaTony> scribawf: If your current setup is working OK, I'd say just leave it be. If you have an external hard drive and can back everything up, going to 10.04 might not be bad
[02:54] <OkThen> when i press the 'extract' on the file in the flash drive, it looks for the file on the cd
[02:54] <OkThen> umm
[02:54] <OkThen> im not sure but i dont think so
[02:54] <ramon> anyone know how to get hidden SSIDs working?
[02:54] <rww> chrysanthemum: cat $(echo "name").txt
[02:55] <scribawf> TelsaTony: yup exactly my thoughts as well and indeed have an external HD to to that with or even using Clonezilla
[02:55] <chrysanthemum> rww:  perfect thanks
[02:56] <jjgalvez__> OkThen: thats odd what exactly did you download? are you trying to use a linux driver or a windows driver?
[02:56] <dlorag> I think I messed up the permissions on /usr/local would someone mind checking what the default settings are? I used ls -an before to see
[02:57] <OkThen> i didnt download anything but the original 10.04 netbook. I'm extracting the linux driver for my computer's wireless, but even off of the flash drive it keeps looking for the cd
[02:58] <Drik> grubcfg is read only in gedit, how to make it read-write access?
[02:58] <dlorag> OkThen: what wireless you using?
[02:58] <Drik> grub.cfg*
[02:58] <TeslaTony> scribawf: Something you might also try is double checking what kernels are available via synaptic. If you can't find it, you aren't going to update to it
[02:59] <dlorag> Drik: do sudo su then enter pass and edit it (I'd recommend nano though so it doesn't leave config files laying about)
[02:59] <Sterist> hellos, i just had my update manager tell me i have a broken package in the system, and to use "broken filter" to locate it. where do i find this "broken filter"?
[02:59] <jjgalvez__> OkThen: where are you extracting it from? the only thing on the install are all debs
[02:59] <OkThen> dell wireless 1390
[02:59] <dlorag> Sterist: its in synaptic run that and under the options you will see fix broken
[03:00] <OkThen> Im extracting it from the 10.04 install flashdrive
[03:00] <jjgalvez__> OkThen: or rather how are you trying to install the wireless driver?
[03:00] <OkThen> by clicking on the package and pressing extract
[03:00] <Sterist> dlorag is it a simple process?
[03:00] <dlorag> OkThen: if you do lspci and find the line refering to your wireless would be more helpful and if its a usb plugin one try lsusb
[03:01] <OkThen> lspci? lsusb?
[03:01] <phil_in_london> list pci devices, list usb devices
[03:01] <dlorag> Sterist: very simple sudo su makes you root so you can edit system files then nano is a command line text editor you just arrowkey around editing stuff then ctrl + x when done to save. I assume your trying to add other systems to grub?
[03:01] <seidos> OkThen, terminal commands.
[03:01] <jjgalvez__> OkThen: you don't hit extract it should install if you just double click it
[03:02] <OkThen> whenever i do it tries to find the install cd
[03:02] <OkThen> oh well I guess ill try again
[03:02] <jewalot> My rectum has fallen out. :(
[03:02] <phil_in_london> ha!
[03:02] <jjgalvez__> jewalot: sorry to hear that
[03:02] <dlorag> jjgalvez__: did you tell him to autorun some wireless install cd??
[03:02] <Sterist> dlorag i think you mixed me up with someone else.. i'm just trying to find and fix / remove whatever is broken
[03:03] <OkThen> thank you for helping <3
[03:03] <jjgalvez__> dlorag: nope, I've been trying to figure out what he has been doing to try to install this driver
[03:03] <dlorag> sterist: oh lol I'm sorry I thought you were drik yeah fix broken packages with synaptic
[03:03] <sam555> is remote desktop tightvnc?
[03:04] <ramon> why can't ubuntu connect to hidden SSIDs, even though the feature seems almsot advertised.
[03:04] <sam555> or do I have to install tightvnc?
[03:04] <dlorag> sterist: when your done selecting that option hit apply and it should work if not there a few other commands but most likely won't need those
[03:04] <Sterist> dlorag i checked the broken filter and nothing changes, even after reloading
[03:04] <SheepAreScary> How do I set up apache that I can access the files in my /var/web from any computer connected to the internet?
[03:04] <Drik> i dont know how to "do sudo su". am newbie..
[03:04] <Klessc> I have a few questions about my Dual Moniter set up when someone has some time
[03:04] <jjgalvez__> sam555: you don't need tightvnc you have a vnc client already isntalled
[03:04] <phil_in_london> sam likes it tight tho.
[03:05] <sam555> phil_in_london: oh my, phil!
[03:05] <jjgalvez__> sam555: remotedestp viewer will do it
[03:05] <dlorag> jjgalvez__: I know it sounds quite amazing hopefully he will write a post on his epic journey and all but seriously if we just new what wireless card he was using its probably already there in the system somewhere
[03:05] <ramon> I really need to get this "Connect to hidden wireless network" thing working.
[03:05] <sam555> i'm trying to get this to work http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=16953&page=2
[03:05] <phil_in_london> ramon, do you know the name of the hidden network?
[03:06] <sam555> allegedly it allows you to start a vnc server prior to someone logging in
[03:06] <jjgalvez__> dlorag: seriously
[03:06] <x0rs_ha> Are there any packages I need to install as pre-requisites if I want to compile most programs.
[03:06] <dlorag> Drik: open the terminal its under accessories
[03:06] <tomoyuki28jp> Is there a command line brightness control tool for ubuntu 10.04?
[03:06] <ramon> phil: yes and i know the password and everything.
[03:06] <Drik> doen dlorag
[03:06] <Drik> done*
[03:06] <jjgalvez__> sam555: don't do it, use something else like nomachine, freenx or x2go
[03:06] <Beiruty> I am running wubi 10.04 64 bits, I could not upgrade to 10.10 I got a message that I have broken pacakges
[03:06] <sam555> jjgalvez__: are those already install on ubuntu?
[03:07] <dlorag> Drik: you know about root right? sudo su lets you access those privileges you can edit the system config files with nano go ahead and poke around the # in files means that option is blocked but you can remove those to enable things
[03:07] <phil_in_london> ramon, and you're setting the same kind of security layer as well?
[03:07] <Beiruty> any solution or should I wait the release?
[03:07] <matias> Hi guys
[03:08] <jjgalvez__> sam555: no you will have to install them google them to see which sounds better to you, I have used nomachine, in the past and am currently using x2go, both were very easy to set up and use
[03:08] <matias> I have an issue with folders share
[03:08] <Klessc> Dose anyone have a Clue why my Secondary monitor Will not show up? i just updated ubuntu 10.04 and now it my other monitor dose not work
[03:08] <matias> La «red compartida» devolvió el error 255: net usershare add: cannot convert name "Everyone" to a SID. Invalid parameter.
[03:08] <sam555> jjgalvez__: so you were able to remote to an ubuntu machine and log in remotely without someone signing in first?
[03:08] <ramon> yeah. i know about that stuff. this even works in Win XP. but for some reason. it wont work in Ubuntu.
[03:08] <matias> Can anyone help me please?
[03:09] <phil_in_london> ramon, hmm, okay, sounds like you're up on the parameters, I was just wondering, cause it works here very well on 6 different pc's
[03:09] <jjgalvez__> sam555: I do it all the time now
[03:09] <dlorag> Drik: if you need help fixing up something https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/index.html has some useful tips for beginners
[03:09] <phil_in_london> ramon, you don't have mac filtering on the router do you?
[03:09] <ramon> no
[03:09] <x0rs_ha> If I do a search using aptitude and there is a capital A before the name of the package, does that mean it's already installed?
[03:10] <rww> x0rs_ha: "A" means that it's automatically installed as a dependency of some other package. "i" is the generic indicator for installed.
[03:10] <Drik> dlorag: i just did it by opening as "open as administartor", thanx for help
[03:11] <ramon> it wouldnt have anything to do with mac filtering. because running Win XP on the same laptop, it works fine and without problems.
[03:11] <phil_in_london> ramon, sorry, wasn't aware it was same system with dual boot, just trying to rule out options.
[03:11] <x0rs_ha> rww: the package i was looking at is build-essential, I heard it is a prerequisite if I want to compile programs with success... Anyone know what I need to do to install it? aptitude install doesn't work
[03:12] <rww> x0rs_ha: "sudo aptitude install build-essential" doesn't work?
[03:12] <dlorag> Drik: no prob when you do open as administrator the system runs gksudo to give you a visual authentication box to gain necessary privs
[03:12] <x0rs_ha> rww: nope
[03:12] <ramon> phil, its okay. im grateful you're trying to help.
[03:12] <x0rs_ha> rww: since it has an A on it, i'm thinking i am suppose to install something else to get it
[03:12] <rww> x0rs_ha: which error do you get?
[03:12] <rww> x0rs_ha: does it have an "i" next to that "A"?
[03:13] <x0rs_ha> no i
[03:13] <Beiruty> does upgrade to  a wubi 10.04 work?
[03:13] <x0rs_ha> and no error, just says 0 packages to install and 0 installed
[03:13] <phil_in_london> ramon, if you change the router to broadcast its ssid, and create your connection, then change the router to hide it, does that make a difference?
[03:14] <infid> what's the 'daemon' user for in /etc/passwd?
[03:14] <rww> x0rs_ha: run "apt-cache policy build-essential", copy the output to http://paste.ubuntu.com/, link the page it creates here.
[03:14] <x0rs_ha> ok
[03:14] <ramon> i dont have permission to change router settings. it's a workplace network that im trying to connect to.
[03:16] <phil_in_london> ramon, is security wpa2 ?
[03:16] <x0rs_ha> rww: i;m sorry I see it now, says "build-essential is already newest version" and the output of that last file says it is installed
[03:16] <ramon> no. its wep
[03:16] <jjgalvez__> By all have a good nite
[03:16] <x0rs_ha> rww: not sure why there is no i when I search it
[03:17] <rww> x0rs_ha: me either. but hey, problem solved.
[03:17] <phil_in_london> ramon, wep or dynamic wep?
[03:17] <x0rs_ha> rww: yep, thanks so much for the help
[03:17] <Beiruty> I am getting this error: E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
[03:18] <ramon> idk. all i have is an SSID and a key.
[03:18] <ramon> this is the first im hearing about dynamic wep, though
[03:18] <phil_in_london> ramon, there are wep 40/128, dynamic, and its variants on wep2
[03:18] <phil_in_london> windows is very limited in its security layer, I'd have to assume its at best doing wep 128
[03:19] <renedox> BinaryDigits: oh hai
[03:19] <renedox> :P
[03:19] <SuperMiguel> any of you guys running obuntu on a macbook pro?
[03:19] <phil_in_london> ramon, have you tried each of the security options available to you in ubuntu?
[03:19] <phil_in_london> ramon, keep the ssid, keep the wep, but check the security options, there are about 6 different versions of wep you can try.
[03:19] <dlorag> SuperMiguel: what is obuntu
[03:20] <SuperMiguel> ubuntu*
[03:20] <ramon> alright ill try those. the key is 10 characters long, if that helps
[03:21] <phil_in_london> ramon, my bet, its its wp2 enterprise, which will require you to also know if its TLS, LEAP, Tunneled TLS or Protected EAP.
[03:22] <phil_in_london> ramon, best bet, check all the parameters of the XP setup, it may not show them all, but get every bit you can out of the security settings there and match them as best you can. Alternatively it should only take you about 10 mins to run through all the possibilities with the Ubuntu settings.
[03:22] <x0rs_ha> should I upgrade my 10.04 to 10.10? or should I wait for official release?
[03:22] <rww> x0rs_ha: you should wait
[03:22] <x0rs_ha> rww: ok thanks
[03:23] <iConstruct> a little bit of help. I"m getting this error when running apt-get update
[03:23] <ramon> thanks phil. ill try that tomorrow, as im not in the vicinity of the AP to even test that. but why doesnt Ubuntu configure all that automatically, like in Windows?
[03:24] <iConstruct> Err http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/ubuntu/ lucid-updates/multiverse Translation-en_CA
[03:24] <iConstruct> for some reason it's not connecting
[03:24] <phil_in_london> ramon, it can't, there are many parameters that are set by the system administrator of your network. Its not a guessing kind of thing, as security shouldn't be.
[03:24] <iConstruct> and this translation-en_ca what the heck is this?
[03:25] <ramon> i guess you're right. Thanks again, Phil.
[03:25] <phil_in_london> ramon, just have a look through all the security settings on ubuntu, get a little familiar with it, and if you actually know the sys-admin ask them what they are using.
[03:25] <ramon> good night
[03:25] <phil_in_london> ciao
[03:25] <dlorag> ramon: sudo su then nano /etc/network/interfaces and put http://pastebin.com/XBQ2VjB5
[03:25] <dlorag> ramon: then just do ifdown wlan0 and ifup wlan0 for it to load proper dhcp info from router
[03:26] <ramon> the terminal is a scary place for a beginner like myself. but im tired. goodnight
[03:27] <dlorag> ramon: networkmanager is crap really I never bother with it, its just a frontend for that one config file and /etc/resolv.conf
[03:32] <iConstruct> anyone know how to register my nick name?
[03:32] <rww> ubottu: tell iConstruct about register
[03:33] <paul__> hi
[03:34] <VisualAssassin> hi
[03:34] <phil_in_london> greetings
[03:34] <VisualAssassin> phil....lemme guess.....
[03:34] <VisualAssassin> ur from london?
[03:34] <phil_in_london> yer quick
[03:34] <paul__> no
[03:34] <paul__> malaysia
[03:34] <phil_in_london> I'll definitely ask you all the questions from now on.
[03:34] <phil_in_london> :)
[03:35] <phil_in_london> but probably not the london you think.
[03:36] <D3RGPS31> i'm using an ati mobile 5870, with fglrx; my mouse doesn't respond with the trackpad or when i set it to use keyboard keys, wut do
[03:37] <VisualAssassin> im sure there a bunch of londons all over....not just london, england
[03:37] <dlorag> D3RGPS31: do you have a spare external mouse to plugin for temporary use?
[03:37] <phil_in_london> yeah, theres even one in canada
[03:37] <D3RGPS31> dlorag: not an option
[03:37] <VisualAssassin> yeah...is that where ur from canada?
[03:38] <dlorag> D3RGPS31: I would suggest doing ctrl + alt + f1 then logging in and doing sudo su then apt-get update followed by apt-get upgrade to make sure your system is up to date then type reboot
[03:38] <D3RGPS31> it is
[03:38] <D3RGPS31> freshly installed, aswell
[03:38] <phil_in_london> yep, 2 hrs from Detroit, and 2 hrs from Toronto.
[03:39] <dlorag> D3RGPS31: fresh install is out of date by time its first burned always updates rolling out you sure?
[03:39] <rww> trj021782: now talk in here
[03:39] <VisualAssassin> well i am 10 minutes from detroit lol
[03:39] <D3RGPS31> dlorag: it is up to date
[03:39] <phil_in_london> all the assassins are
[03:39] <trj021782> awesome - thank you rww
[03:39] <phil_in_london> :)
[03:39] <VisualAssassin> ha...yeah right...im glad i live outside the city
[03:39] <dlorag> D3RGPS31: and you rebooted to make sure all the new modules or kernel are loaded properly?
[03:39] <D3RGPS31> dlorag: yes
[03:40] <rww> trj021782: no problem, my apologies for the confusion
[03:40] <v12extremex> Ok peoples, i has a problem, I wanted the beta version of ubuntu so i downloaded it, i updated and it asked me to upgrade a distribution, so i did, when i restarted i got the, Cannot find GRLDR error. Ive tried everything and cnt figure out how to boot into ubuntu
[03:40] <dlorag> D3RGPS31: is there a touchpad on/off button?
[03:40] <phil_in_london> beta? is that the 10.10?
[03:40] <trj021782> no apology needed, it was my own ignorance about IRC
[03:40] <v12extremex> Yes, yes it is
[03:41] <D3RGPS31> dlorag: no
[03:41] <v12extremex> but ive uninstalled the beta and tried 10.04 and still the same error
[03:41] <trj021782> Now down to business - I need help compiling
[03:41] <neil_d> when I use gnome to mount a samba share where is it mounted?
[03:41] <phil_in_london> trj, what are you compiling?
[03:41] <ronald> HOLA
[03:41] <ronald> JEJE SOY NUEVO
[03:41] <ronald> ESTOY DESD EMI JOLICLOUD
[03:42] <phil_in_london> que pasa
[03:42] <ronald> ALGUIENQ SPEAKING SPANISH?
[03:42] <rww> !es | ronald
[03:42] <rww> !caps | ronald
[03:42] <D3RGPS31> dlorag: when i used the open source drivers, it worked well, but the resolution was way off; when i used recent fglrx drivers, the resolution was fine but the mouse was too responsive and i couldn't tap to click; with ubuntu's current fglrx drivers, my mouse doesn't work (with keyboard mouse or trackpad)
[03:42] <v12extremex> Does anyone know what i should do?
[03:42] <dlorag> D3RGPS31: in /var/log there is a xorg output there and you can try dmesg to see if you find any errors when loading up your touchpad
[03:42] <phil_in_london> v12, are you installing this on a system by itself, or is it a dual boot?
[03:43] <v12extremex> Dual boot
[03:43] <phil_in_london> v12, and I have to assume that the other half is that insideous piece of filthy crap otherwise known as winblows?
[03:43] <D3RGPS31> dlorag: i'll try that, brb
[03:43] <dlorag> D3RGPS31: I'm not sure if lshw lists such information about peripherals but perhaps there is a suitable ls based option
[03:43] <DBO> can anyone tell me how to rebase a git branch off of trunk?
[03:43] <v12extremex> lol Yes, Ive grown bored of windows 7
[03:43] <rww> phil_in_london: that's a little excessive :\
[03:44] <dlorag> D3RGPS31: it would be good to know what the system is recognizing the device as
[03:44] <phil_in_london> rww, sorry :( I'll tape my mouth shut.
[03:44] <dlorag> D3RGPS31: pastebin all the info you get there should help to narrow things down
[03:44] <corinth> Hi all. Is there a way that I can temporarily disable the need for a program to have executable permission?
[03:45] <rusivi> phil_in_london: I'm interested as to why you may not like Windows, can you please mention what you do not like?
[03:45] <corinth> I'm running into trouble with a program on a CD - not being able to save "execute" permissions
[03:45] <dlorag> corinth: not a clue but if you do chmod +x on it then it will have executable permission
[03:45] <corinth> dlorag, see above
[03:45] <dlorag> corinth: some way to mount it with executable permissions then?
[03:45] <corinth> guess so, yeah
[03:46] <trj021782> so is there anyone out there that can lend me a hand with compiling
[03:46] <phil_in_london> rusivi, I've been involved with every version since 1.0, and yes, there was a 1.0, it just didn't live long. I've watched the bloat get bigger. I spent an hour tonight downloading a 203mb file for my niece so that I could install a 1mb file contained within it that allowed her to print to an HP printer. I think thats completely out of control.
[03:46] <v12extremex> Hmm, ive read through various fourms and cnt find the problem. Different ones have told me to do different things. Ive deleaded the files associated and reinstalled. Whatever was in the update that i done seems to have caused this because it was working before in updated
[03:46] <phil_in_london> trj what are you compiling?
[03:46] <trj021782> xorhack 2.0
[03:47] <dlorag> corinth: what does mount -l say in regards to that device?
[03:47] <corinth> dlorag, /dev/sr0 on /media/jediacad_1 type iso9660 (ro,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks,uid=1000,gid=1000,iocharset=utf8,mode=0400,dmode=0500)
[03:47] <phil_in_london> v12, if you're not too queasy about doing the install in manual mode, I'd suggest creating the partition yourself to ensure that the previous install is gone. Perhaps windows 7 has a disk manager facility that will allow you to do the same. But what it sounds like is that you have bits left over from the previous version.
[03:48] <phil_in_london> trj and this xorhack is it for x86 i686 arm mips ???
[03:48] <rusivi> phil_in_london: Thank you for sharing this experience. Just wanted to mention I have an HP OfficeJet 5610v All-in-One and it has been auto-print/scan to paper/file since Ubuntu 9.10 (currently on 10.10 for beta testing).
[03:48] <trj021782> PPC 64 architechture
[03:49] <dlorag> corinth: man I am really old school no clue about this I would just umount /dev/sr0 and mkdir a directory then mount /dev/sr0 directory that auto mount with hal has some trippy settings I suppose
[03:49] <v12extremex> Yes must be and ive ran a defrag, registry scan, and deleted all that i could. Ima try to create a new partition, i never have so i dnt exactly know how but let me mess with it and see
[03:49] <phil_in_london> rusivi, and I bet the install for it took minutes at the most right? my Photosmart C4250 took 1 1/2 minutes on Ubuntu, as I said earlier, 203mb and an hour later for Windows.
[03:50] <scgtrp> i installed kernel 2.6.35 from a PPA yesterday but now i can't get the corresponding headers because "linux-headers-2.6.35-13-generic: Depends: linux-headers-2.6.35-13 but it is not installable" - anyone know how to get around this?
[03:50] <phil_in_london> v12, in your control panel there is an administrator, disk managment, something to that effect that lets you manage partitions. see if you can find that.
[03:50] <v12extremex> lol im already on that
[03:50] <phil_in_london> v12, if you can find that, blow the f***er away
[03:51] <v12extremex> i right clicked on my hard and clicked shrink, but i dnt think that was right
[03:51] <phil_in_london> nah, thats the first thing that Ubuntu is going to do for you.
[03:51] <D3RGPS31> woo, guess it was just a freak moment; fglrx drivers work fine now :3
[03:51] <lahwran> is there a way to shut up banshee's alerts?
[03:51] <phil_in_london> v12, do you see the unused space?
[03:51] <lahwran> they're filling up my entire screen, see.
[03:51] <phil_in_london> v12, or do you see a defined partition that is not used by windows?
[03:51] <v12extremex> no, its stuck right now trying to shrink the hard drive, i need to wait till its finished
[03:52] <dlorag> lahwran: just installed banshee yesterday so not a clue probably under its settings. I mostly used exaile up until now though
[03:52] <trj021782>  0..phil_in_london did you hear me i said it is PPC 64
[03:52] <phil_in_london> v12, well, you could wait for that, and then create a partition in the unused space, format it (which would blow away all the data on it) and then delete the partition.
[03:52] <phil_in_london> try, sorry, no I didn't catch that.
[03:52] <dlorag> lahwran: mind me asking how are its syncing abilities with playlists and other devices?
[03:52] <phil_in_london> trj, you'll need a cross-compiler for ppc
[03:53] <trj021782> can I apt-get that?
[03:53] <v12extremex> hopefully it dosent take too long
[03:53] <kellnola> scgtrp, obviously, the packager didn't take care of everything. Why do you need that kernel?
[03:53] <lahwran> dlorag: I've been using amarok ... and loving it ... but this has such a sweet auto-playlist feature ..
[03:53] <rusivi> phil_in_london: The Ubuntu installer/updating is far faster (by a full day) then Vista/XP. Quite a few months ago a relative of mine was working for a Fortune 500 company and I wanted to introduce her to Ubuntu on a Dell 1515 laptop. I tried 9.04/9.10 but the Broadcom wifi would not work so I literally spent an entire day baby-sitting her Vista computer until it was fully installed/updated and had all the programs she was accustomed wit
[03:53] <rusivi> h. In hindsight that was a great opportunity to bug it but I was not familiar enough with Ubuntu as I am now.
[03:53] <scgtrp> kellnola: it contains a patch which makes acpi work on my laptop
[03:54] <trj021782> Phil it is important to point out that this code was written speciffically for my hardware
[03:54] <phil_in_london> rusivi, I hear ya...its almost excruciating at times.
[03:54] <phil_in_london> trj, you are running your ubuntu on the ppc?
[03:54] <dlorag> rusivi: b43 fwcutter and that wl driver sta thing from broadcom are two alternatives to test b43 being most used just requiring firmware cut from the broadcom release
[03:54] <trj021782> phil - ubuntu on a PPC based PS3
[03:54] <v12extremex> Hmm, would inserting wubildr into the ubuntu partition instead of my main hard drive work?
[03:55] <phil_in_london> v12, I have no idea what wubilder is.
[03:55] <rusivi> dlorag: I briefly tried fwcutter but was not patient enough as I am now.
[03:55] <phil_in_london> trj, do a search on your computer for c++ or gcc
[03:55] <v12extremex> Its the file that isnt found at startup
[03:55] <rusivi> dlorag: Thank you for mentioning that.
[03:55] <v12extremex> the reason i cnt boot into ubuntu
[03:55] <dlorag> lahwran: have you tried songbird yet? It seems like a total nuke and the kitchen sink in one but if your really into music maybe
[03:55] <phil_in_london> v12, as I say, I don't know, I've never heard of that file before.
[03:56] <trj021782> Phil - OK be back after a bit
[03:56] <v12extremex> it may not be exactly like that
[03:56] <lahwran> dlorag: does it have a song similarity feature/
[03:56] <v12extremex> its something along that spelling
[03:56] <v12extremex> So should i make a new partition, or format the one ubuntu is currently installed on?
[03:56] <phil_in_london> v12, actually ,it should be exactly like one of those
[03:57] <sumosu> my audio just crashed. is there a command to restart it? (mint9/ubuntu 10.4)
[03:57] <phil_in_london> v12, you seemed to have a problem as a result of having installed a demo system right?
[03:57] <trj021782> Phil - 72 filles with c++ in them
[03:57] <phil_in_london> v12, and from what you can see, does that partition still exist?
[03:57] <v12extremex> nvm, ubuntu isnt installed, i just forgot to unmount it from my drive
[03:58] <phil_in_london> trj, any file that is just c++   not c++* , but just c++ ?
[03:58] <dlorag> rusivi: if you don't find enough info I usually use a few other distro help guides arch,gentoo,slackware. just remember the names and the lspci entry for the card
[03:59] <phil_in_london> trj, this program you are trying to install, did you extract it to its own folder?
[03:59] <trj021782> phil - yes, in /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/
[03:59] <phil_in_london> trj, use a terminal and navigate yourself to that folder.
[03:59] <phil_in_london> trj, then type   ./configure
[03:59] <v12extremex> Idk what a demo system is, i cant get it fully installed anymore seeing as how i need to reboot to complete installation.
[03:59] <v12extremex> Ima try to reinstall it, format the partition that appears, the reinstall it again
[04:00] <phil_in_london> v12, I thought you said you installed an ubuntu demo?
[04:00] <adante> noob qn but what is the difference between vi and vim
[04:00] <rusivi> dlorag: Thank you.
[04:00] <v12extremex> I dnt have a demo, nothing is installed anymore, i uninstalled ubuntu because of this problem
[04:00] <zane> Hi. I was trying to make my user account need sudo, and somehow locked myself out.  In users and groups account is disabled
[04:00] <phil_in_london> vim is a little more friendly, but its still not Word.
[04:00] <kinki> hi
[04:00] <dlorag> rusivi: ah here is the page I was looking for http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 just what you need
[04:00] <v12extremex> I have the beta iso and the latest stable iso
[04:01] <scgtrp> kellnola: is there any other way to get the headers, at least temporarily until 10.10 comes out (presumably with new kernel)?
[04:01] <phil_in_london> v12, and did you get this same problem by installing the stable iso as well?
[04:01] <rusivi> dlorag: ty
[04:01] <dlorag> rusivi: that known pci device chart should come in handy picking which driver you need
[04:01] <v12extremex> Yes i did
[04:01] <phil_in_london> v12, how are you installing, within Windows?
[04:01] <scgtrp> (can i just extract the vanilla kernel somewhere and point things at that or is ubuntu's kernel patched too much?)
[04:01] <v12extremex> With Wubi
[04:01] <phil_in_london> wtf is wubi?
[04:01] <trj021782> Phil - no such file or directory
[04:01] <v12extremex> Idk, i mount the iso and wubi pops up and i just install it
[04:01] <phil_in_london> v12, nope, not the way to do it.
[04:02] <rusivi> phil_in_london: It allows for dual-booting of Ubuntu/Windows on the same HDD
[04:02] <kellnola> so, is xmms completely gone? there is no longer a gui at all?
[04:02] <phil_in_london> v12, does your computer allow you to boot from cd?
[04:02] <v12extremex> Yes it does
[04:02] <phil_in_london> v12, insert cd, reboot computer, allow it to boot from cd.
[04:02] <v12extremex> So i suppose i shall burn it to a blank cd and continue from there
[04:02] <phil_in_london> yes sir.
[04:02] <braxton> Hi I have a printer connected to a pc that's directly connected to my wireless router which this laptop is receiving internet access from. Is there a way I can access that printer?
[04:02] <v12extremex> Ok, let me try that
[04:02] <plovs> phil_in_london http://wubi-installer.org/ quite cool actually
[04:03] <KGF2009> Is anyone here good with FFMPEG?
[04:03] <phil_in_london> trj, I don't know what you downloaded but a source without configure is not a compilable source.
[04:03] <trj021782> phil - did you hear me say that ./configure did not work
[04:03] <kellnola> braxton, yes, cups
[04:03] <braxton> kellnola: Shall I google it?
[04:03] <kellnola> braxton, lpstat -a -h <pc name>
[04:03] <phil_in_london> plovs, I've managed without it, and without v12's problems, I'll still with the old farts method.
[04:03] <phil_in_london> thanks tho.
[04:03] <v12extremex> anyone know a quick and easy iso burner program to download?
[04:04] <phil_in_london> trj, I did hear you and did respond to you.
[04:04] <kellnola> v12extremex, brasilero, cdrecord
[04:04] <phil_in_london> trj, I don't know what you downloaded but a source without configure is not a compilable source.
[04:04] <braxton> kellnola: How can I find the pc names of anything connected to my network?
[04:04] <KGF2009> Anyone with experience with FFMPEG: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/HydsqCDE Any tips?
[04:04] <kellnola> braxton, the name of the pc with the printer connected (or the ip)
[04:05] <braxton> kellnola: Yes, that one.
[04:05] <phil_in_london> braxton nmap 192.168.0.*
[04:05] <kellnola> braxton, are you using CUPS on the PC?
[04:05] <phil_in_london> braxton, that is if your mask is 192.168.0
[04:05] <braxton> phil_in_london: Thanks.
[04:06] <braxton> kellnola: No, I've never used anything called CUPS, consciously.
[04:06] <kellnola> braxton, wait, are both of these linux?
[04:06] <v12extremex> Ok peeps, ill be back if i cnt get it, catcha lata.
[04:06] <braxton> kellnola: Yes, indee.
[04:06] <braxton> *indeed
[04:06] <phil_in_london> braxton to confirm, type ifconfig in a terminal, that will tell you your ip address, if it begins with 192.168.0 then thats your subnet, if it begins with 192.168.1.  then .... etc.
[04:06] <kellnola> braxton, cups is installed by default
[04:06] <trj021782> Phil - IT JUST WORKED!!! I have no idea why this time was successful and the others were not but it worked - I am off to hack my PS3 thanks for eveything
[04:06] <braxton> phil_in_london: I know how to find my IP, thank you. :3
[04:06] <drbutt> i have this funky problem with the audio ports on my laptop. if i plug-in speakers/headphones all the way in the port i get no sound. but, if i put them 3/4 in they work perfectly (sometimes i have to fiddle with them like the wire is loose_
[04:06] <braxton> kellnola: alright.
[04:07] <phil_in_london> k braxton.
[04:07] <kellnola> braxton, ifconfig at a terminal will tell you your ip address
[04:07] <braxton> trj021782: What did you do?
[04:07] <drbutt> any ideas why, i guess is what i'm getting at
[04:07] <braxton> kellnola: I am looking for the name of another computer on my network, I'm fully capable of finding my own.
[04:07] <trj021782> Braxton - i finnally compiled something in linux - and not just anything but the software to allow me to hack my PS3 and dump the hypervisor
[04:08] <braxton> kellnola: I could easily perform it on that one, but I thought it may be useful if I knew how to do this anyway.
[04:08] <phil_in_london> drbutt, check the connections that you are plugging into the audio ports, do they have 2 black lines on them or 3?
[04:08] <braxton> trj021782: Wow! Good job. What exactly did that entail?
[04:08] <drbutt> 2
[04:08] <phil_in_london> hmm, so thats stereo, got a ruler handy? are them 3.5mm long or 2.5mm long?
[04:08] <trj021782> su root - make - make install - I tried this 2 or 3 times previously but for some reason it worked this time
[04:09] <braxton> trj021782: I meant the code, haha.
[04:09] <drbutt> 2.5
[04:09] <trj021782> oh I do not know - it was source downloaded from the authors website
[04:09] <braxton> trj021782: Was this a problem with the new firmware update Sony issued disallowing linux?
[04:09] <drbutt> i mean it's not a big deal, just an odd issue i guess
[04:10] <phil_in_london> drbutt, when you say you get sound when they are 3/4 of the way in , is it stereo or mono?
[04:10] <drbutt> stero
[04:10] <phil_in_london> you sure?
[04:10] <trj021782> braxton - not for me, i am in linux on my PS3 right now - I never updated past 3.15 (the last firware to allow the OtherOS feature)
[04:11] <braxton> trj021782: I'm envious, I was almost contemplating doing that but now it seems nearly impossible without undue effort.
[04:11] <drbutt> actually i'm not 100% sure. let me play something higher sound quality.
[04:11] <trj021782> this hack will however remove ALL the restrictions imposed by sony about what can be done in linux
[04:11] <phil_in_london> trj, as I understand it, the PS3 is really kick a$$ with linux on it.
[04:11] <drbutt> its mono
[04:11] <nytek_> phil_in_london: How does it run?
[04:12] <Braber01> Shell: queston, Im more familer with the syntax that TCSH uses, however I know bash well, I can't decide wich one to use
[04:12] <rww> ubottu: offtopic
[04:12] <trj021782> braxton - i got lucky - I bought this PS3 a week ago for $100 and found out that it was still running the old firmware
[04:12] <phil_in_london> nytek, ask trj, he's the expert.
[04:12] <phil_in_london> drbutt, thats what I thought.
[04:12] <phil_in_london> drbutt, do you have access to the sound settings?
[04:12] <trj021782> Phil - sorry whats up?
[04:12] <phil_in_london> drbutt, the one with the advanced sound settings parameters.
[04:12] <drbutt> yes
[04:13] <phil_in_london> drbutt, lets check that, in the Hardware tab, go through the list of options in the dropdown there...see if any of them work better than what is happening now.
[04:13] <beefncheese> !info xcompmgr
[04:13] <phil_in_london> trj, not much is up just dr's butt
[04:13] <phil_in_london> :-p
[04:14] <Braber01> !info tcsh
[04:14] <trj021782> phil - the PS3 is good with linux this hack should make it kick ass - alot of the processor usage is locked by the hypervisor and this hack will let me dump the h-visor
[04:15] <phil_in_london> trj, I watched a show with a prof from Berkeley that used a cloud of 16 parallel PS3's and it matched a cloud of 48 top of the line pc's
[04:15] <trj021782> sorry to cut and run but I must be going, I will come back with a report on my success or failure
[04:16] <drbutt> only one i get sound from is: analog stero duplex.
[04:18] <phil_in_london> drbutt, sorry about that, I had you go there cause I was wondering if your audio was outputting digital or analog, you've answered that.
[04:18] <phil_in_london> drbutt, sure sounds like the ports are perhaps faulty.
[04:18] <drbutt> maybe
[04:18] <drbutt> you could be right
[04:19] <drbutt> i don't have another os to test it
[04:19] <perlsyntax> What does this  error mean
[04:19] <drbutt> oh well, guess i'll make use out of my hdmi output finally
[04:19] <phil_in_london> drbutt, it seems a physical problem though, you say yourself that they don't actually go in all the way...which we all hate :)

[04:21] <drewbert> I keep getting "X server does not support the specified resolution" at login.
[04:22] <thedayturns> i nuked my computer somehow and am trying to save it with a live cd. so i grabbed "ubuntu desktop edition" off the website.. i go to burn it, but it says that it's about 700mb too big.
[04:22] <Izinucs> !resolution | drewbert
[04:22] <thedayturns> and i found this weird file called ubuntu inside the iso that, when i get rid of it, makes the cd precisely the right size (and it doesn't show up in the md5sum list either)
[04:23] <thedayturns> but i have a feeling like this is a sketchy thing to do
[04:23] <x0rs_ha> What's sketchy about it? Ubuntu is already free and under GNU, so you can edit it all you want.
[04:24] <gnubuntu> sketchy as in might break the system
[04:24] <thedayturns> :) of course, i wouldn't want to edit it so much that it wouldn't work
[04:24] <Braber01> I'm trying to figure out which shell to use I'm comfortable with bash however the tcsh uses a syntax I'm more comfortable with
[04:25] <thedayturns> it seems to be just a reference to itself, an "alias", but im using a mac (which i haven't used before) and im not quite sure what that means

[04:28] <thedayturns> yeah
[04:28] <thedayturns> it appears to be an alias...to itself.
[04:28] <thedayturns> now that makes no sense at all
[04:28] <Braber01> IdleOne: just one queston how is which shell to use an off-topic comment? just wondering...
[04:28] <happydude> Hi!
[04:29] <IdleOne> Braber01: it isn't Ubuntu support related, it's your personal preference, you can ask bestbot in #ubuntu-bots if you really need to take a poll
[04:30] <Braber01> IdleOne: thank you , wasn't really sure where to ask that queston

[04:41] <AlbertoP> Roush427r: typically you just need unrar and everything works in file-roller

[04:49] <thedayturns> it's been showing me the five dots for like 5 minutes, but it's not making any noise or giving any sign of life
[04:49] <ndevastator> thedayturns, depends on your system, and typically it does take some time
[04:49] <AlbertoP> thedayturns: no it is not supposed to
[04:49] <CowboyTech> many singlr cores take tenish minutes
[04:49] <thedayturns> ten minutes?
[04:49] <thedayturns> well, im on a dual core
[04:49] <thedayturns> but i guess i can hold out for a few more
[04:49] <thedayturns> i'm just antsy i guess. i hope i didnt lose all my data :(

[05:01] <brianski> http://img814.imageshack.us/i/securityupdatesnotshowi.png/
[05:02] <CowboyTech> not here brianski
[05:02] <brianski> also apt-check --human-readable tells me "15 packages can be updated. 0 updates are security updates."
[05:02] <brianski> CowboyTech: have you upgraded avahi-* yet?
[05:02] <CowboyTech> no
[05:02] <wgrant> brianski: Please pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list

[05:04] <brianski> CowboyTech: what do you get from apt-check --human-readable?
[05:05] <enetic> hey.. im having problems mounting my harddisk.. i accedentially plugged it out when i was using it, and now i cant mount it..
[05:06] <brianski> enetic: did you fsck the partitions on it yet?
[05:06] <enetic> brianski, i dont know what you mean.. im sorry
[05:06] <brianski> enetic: open a command line window
[05:06] <enetic> brianski, yes, and then ?
[05:06] <brianski> enetic: then sudo fsck /dev/sdc3 or what have you
[05:07] <TheMusicGuy> When I am asked "Are you sure you want to logout? [Logout] [Cancel]" and I click "logout," nothing happens. No notices, no hard drive activity, no hangups...it just acts as if I had hit "cancel."
[05:08] <trism> johntramp: you can use inotify to monitor files for changes, either directly in some code, or you could use inotifywait from the inotify-tools package to write a shell script to loop, waiting for changes to a file, then execute your command
[05:08] <TheMusicGuy> Sometimes it does work--like when I just recently logged in--but if I try to logout after I've been logged in for a long time, nothing happens.
[05:08] <Roush427r> AlbertoP: ok, so what do I do now
[05:08] <johntramp> cheers trism ,  i will look into that
[05:08] <enetic> nothing came up brianski .. i dropped it on the floor too.. can that have something to do with it?
[05:08] <AlbertoP> Roush427r: no idea
[05:09] <pedestrianentran> when I plug in usb devices, they aren't always detected automatically.... Only when I reboot. Is there any command I can use to mount a device automatically?
[05:09] <brianski> enetic: can you paste the output of sudo fdisk -l ?
[05:09] <TheMusicGuy> pedestrianentran, are you talking about a storage device? If so, then check out mount.
[05:10] <brianski> pedestrianentran: sure - sudo mount /dev/sdXN, where X is a letter and N is a number corresponding to the device and partition thereon
[05:10] <DBoyz> hi there
[05:10] <DBoyz> i need help with ubuntu
[05:10] <DBoyz> i tried installing ubuntu
[05:10] <DBoyz> but i had blackscreen problem
[05:10] <DBoyz> so i used an external monitor
[05:10] <thedayturns> i'm getting "no init found. try passing init= bootarg" and my computer will not start up. I'm not sure what to do...
[05:10] <pedestrianentran> brianski: is there anyway without knowing X or N? The system used to do this automatically until I upgraded to latest release of ubuntu
[05:10] <wgrant> brianski: There are no lucid-security sources there.
[05:11] <DBoyz> now that i installed ubuntu
[05:11] <wgrant> brianski: Enable security updates in System->Administration->Software Sources.
[05:11] <pedestrianentran> brianski: it works automatically when I reboot
[05:11] <brianski> wgrant: deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-updates main restricted universe multiverse
[05:11] <brianski> ?
[05:11] <enetic> brianski, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/vDKSBXeA
[05:11] <DBoyz> what can i to not depend on external monitor
[05:11] <wgrant> brianski: lucid-updates != lucid-security
[05:11] <DBoyz> anyone help me?
[05:11] <brianski> oh sheep
[05:11] <brianski> how the heck did that happen?
[05:12] <wgrant> brianski: Security updates are copied to updates later, but they won't show up as security updates.
[05:12] <TheMusicGuy> pedestrianentran, there are always a lot of problems with upgrades (at lease any time I've ever tried it). I end up having to do a clean install each time to prevent those sort of issues.
[05:12]  * DBoyz waits for help
[05:12] <BumOnBoat> on the new netbook edition, how can I add stuff to the launchbar?
[05:13] <TheMusicGuy> DBoyz, more info needed. What sort of system do you have? Laptop I'm assuming? What sort of graphics card?
[05:13] <wgrant> BumOnBoat: You mean the Ubuntu 10.10 Release Candidate?
[05:13] <BumOnBoat> yes
[05:13] <DBoyz> hang on, TheMusicGuy
[05:13] <pedestrianentran> TheMusicGuy: Yeah I guess i should have done that. But everything else works fine. Surely there is a way of making the system automatically check for connected devices... usb mass storage or cameras etc. It works automatically if I reboot and sporadically at other times.
[05:13] <wgrant> BumOnBoat: See #ubuntu+1 for Ubuntu 10.10 pre-release support.
[05:13] <brianski> wgrant: thanks, that fixed it alright
[05:13] <brianski> yikes
[05:13]  * brianski apt-get installs chkrootkit
[05:13] <BumOnBoat> ok
[05:14] <wgrant> brianski: Don't worry -- updates are copied from -security to -updates an hour or two after they are published, so you won't be behind much.
[05:14] <brianski> wgrant: that quick? why?
[05:14] <brianski> wgrant: where can i read more?
[05:14] <wgrant> brianski: Because security.ubuntu.com isn't mirrored.
[05:14] <DBoyz> Lenovo V360 Laptop
[05:14] <BumOnBoat> join #ubuntu+1
[05:14] <wgrant> brianski: So we copy it onto the mirrors as quickly as possible.
[05:14] <DBoyz> Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelerator HD
[05:14] <brianski> wgrant: i thought that was a "security feature" ?
[05:15] <DBoyz> thats my display adapter
[05:15] <TheMusicGuy> pedestrianentran, I think automounting is handeled by HAL. Beyond that I don't know what to tell you...anytime this issue has come up for me I just reinstalled.
[05:15] <wgrant> brianski: Every Ubuntu machine points at security.ubuntu.com so they know about security updates ASAP, even if their mirror is slow to update.
[05:15] <johntramp> trism: inotifywait is exactly what i am after. cheers
[05:15] <wgrant> brianski: But most machines point at up-to-date mirrors, so they'll download from there instead.
[05:15] <wgrant> brianski: This is what stops the security.ubuntu.com DC from melting :)
[05:16] <brianski> wgrant: is it possible that new installs don't include security by default, or is it more likely i clobbered my sources.list ?
[05:16] <brianski> i suppose someone else would have noticed that before...
[05:16] <brianski> wgrant: anyhow thanks for your help
[05:16] <wgrant> brianski: You must have changed it.
[05:17] <TheMusicGuy> DBoyz, for starters, you may need to check the documentation for the X intel drivers. Most likely you need to change the X server config file to use the internal monitor by default. I'm not familiar with how that works for the Intel drivers myself.
[05:17] <brianski> wgrant: yeah i think i did. i don't like how the lines take up so much space, so i usually reformat them at some point. and then i probably copied from my server to my laptop or vice versa :-/
[05:17] <ad_> I'm trying to figure out how to change the refresh rate of my screen to 48Hz (from 50Hz) any suggestions?
[05:18] <wgrant> brianski: Yeah, the default sources.list is a bit verbose.
[05:18] <wgrant> ad_: Why would you want to do that?
[05:18] <wgrant> ad_: What sort of screen is it?
[05:19] <DBoyz> [12:17:21] <TheMusicGuy> DBoyz, for starters, you may need to check the documentation for the X intel drivers. Most likely you need to change the X server config file to use the internal monitor by default. I'm not familiar with how that works for the Intel drivers myself. <-- wow... can someone explain that to me?
[05:19]  * DBoyz ish new to ubuntu
[05:19] <ad_> Because when you playback content at 24fps, you can't really get perfectly smooth playback unless the rates are synchronized
[05:19] <wgrant> DBoyz: Does your internal screen turn on at all?
[05:19] <DBoyz> yup
[05:19] <DBoyz> it does
[05:19] <chadbumb> In case you didn't know:
[05:20] <DBoyz> i could turn it on and off
[05:20] <DBoyz> so obviously its turned on
[05:20] <wgrant> DBoyz: It display an image?
[05:20] <chadbumb> The linux kernel was created by a far-left Finnish nationalist by the name of Linus Torvalds. He has stolen code from the then-propreitary operating system which is known by MINIX 3. The creator of MINIX 3, a socialist sympathiser by the name of Andrew Tennanbaum has denied this ever happening, but has secretly received compensation from the wildly succesful Linux kernel. This puts many home users, system administrators, and oems on
[05:20] <DBoyz> it displays NOTHING after i boot ubuntu
[05:21] <chadbumb> nforce legal action at any time, crippling many industries in capitalist economies. This threat cannot be taken more seriously
[05:21] <wgrant> DBoyz: But you're able to log in fine witht he external monitor?
[05:21] <DBoyz> no
[05:21] <DBoyz> i couldn't see anything without the external monitor
[05:21] <DBoyz> only blackscreen
[05:22] <TheMusicGuy> DBoyz, if you can access your system through the external monitor, see if you can change you screen settings using tool in Gnome Menu -> System -> Preferences -> Monitor
[05:22] <TheMusicGuy> (wow, that was terrible english on my part)
[05:23] <DBoyz> gnome menu as in the menu asking for recovery mode and etc.?
[05:23] <TheMusicGuy> no,
[05:23] <suigeneris> this crontab should work, right? 40 15 * * 1-5 cd /var/www/drupal/webrary.net/sites/default/ && rm today.xml && wget http://www.tcmb.gov.tr/kurlar/today.xml
[05:23] <TheMusicGuy> the one on the panel./
[05:23] <wgrant> DBoyz: The menu once you log in.
[05:24] <DBoyz> oh ok
[05:24] <DBoyz> get it
[05:24] <DBoyz> hang on
[05:26] <bejo> hallo ... any one who no ... where i must download camfrog for linux ?
[05:29] <brianski> cheerios
[05:30] <DBoyz> one more question
[05:30] <DBoyz> i uninstalled ubuntu
[05:30] <DBoyz> +yesterday
[05:30] <DBoyz> and im trying to reinstall it back
[05:30] <deena> Hi
[05:31] <deena> how about gnome-shell? is it working fine ?
[05:33] <DBoyz> i used pendrivelinux to copy my files to my flash drive
[05:34] <sikun> just recently i've been having an annoying problem with my laptop, i'll be listening to music and i'll do something whether it be clicking a link in a browser, or minimizing a window, and it will cause music I am listening to to skip/pause ( I use exaile ) how would i go about finding the cause to this?
[05:34] <DBoyz> my question is
[05:34] <terminalvelocity> anybody know how to configure and customize MGM system monitor?
[05:34] <DBoyz> why does wubi download another iso whenever i try to install?
[05:34] <terminalvelocity> any help will be appreciated
[05:35] <csemple> hi for some reason whenever I reset the computer the resolution defaults back to 800 x 600
[05:35] <csemple> I have to manually change it  every time
[05:35] <csemple> how do I make it stay at the resolution I need?
[05:38] <Deus_Ultima> I have mysqlserver running on my ubuntu box and I can access the DB tables localhost, but not from any other machine on the LAN. By default, should i be able to if its on the same network?
[05:39] <Deus_Ultima> in mysql user admin I even have the user enabled on % hosts,
[05:40] <zeleftikam> how do i invoke the on-screen keyboard in 10.10 without having a keyboard?
[05:43] <paul__> ddd
[05:44] <BumOnBoat> ww
[05:44] <crazy2k> What does futex_wait_queue_me as waiting channel mean? I have a process that blocks with that every time...
[05:48] <shai> How can I list and then, terminate, x11vnc active sessions?
[05:49] <sikun> ah, figured out my problem... damn cpu throttling was screwing stuff up
[05:49] <mithereal> hello all, I am having an error message appearing in my logs that seems to be causing some instability, i cannot find anything on this error in ubuntu support forums  error is "Either the lower file is not in a valid eCryptfs format, or the key could not be retrieved. Plaintext passthrough mode is not enabled; returning -EIO site:ubuntu.com"
[05:50] <DBoyz> ok
[05:50] <DBoyz> so i tried changing the resolution on ubuntu
[05:50] <DBoyz> it didn't work
[05:51]  * DBoyz ish using windows7 atm, i havent configured the wifi and etc.
[05:52] <DBoyz> it only changes my 'mirror monitor' (or something like that)
[05:52] <DBoyz> not my internal monitor
[05:53] <zeleftikam> jesus christ 10.10 upgrade broke everything that ever worked
[05:53] <zeleftikam> samba, vncserver won't start
[05:53] <zeleftikam> useless
[05:53] <zeleftikam> that is all
[05:56] <aldin> hi, if there's someone from ubuntu web admins should fix counters on this link http://www.ubuntu.com/community/countdown
[05:56] <aldin> http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/8509/emtybanner.png
[05:57] <JohnTeddy> I did a regular Ubuntu install, everything works great. I've decided I want to encrypt all my data by default. So I suppose everything in /home? What is the best way to do this, is there a guide somewhere?
[05:58] <blakkheim> JohnTeddy: cryptsetup+LUKS
[05:59]  * DBoyz needs help
[05:59] <DBoyz> someone help me with my internal monitor
[05:59] <peace> hi]
[05:59] <DBoyz> it wont show anything but a blackscreen
[06:00] <greppy> DBoyz: what's the problem?
[06:00] <wgrant> JohnTeddy: The easiest way is to reinstall, selecting the "Encrypt my home directory" option in the installer.
[06:00] <wgrant> JohnTeddy: There are probably instructions for migrating to that setup, though.
[06:00] <DBoyz> greppy: i installed ubuntu earlier, with the help of an external monitor. my internal monitor has a blackscreen problem
[06:01] <DBoyz> how can i solve the problem?
[06:01]  * DBoyz is new to ubuntu
[06:02] <sid> hi
[06:02] <greppy> DBoyz: have you taken a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/BlankScreen
[06:03] <sid> hi
[06:03] <terminalvelocity> how do i  capture drivers for wireshark with lucid
[06:03] <blakkheim> "capture drivers"?
[06:04] <DBoyz> Symptoms: This class of bug occurs right before the GDM login screen would normally display. The BIOS boot screen, grub screen, and the "Ubuntu" usplash screen all display more or less correctly. There is perhaps a slight flicker as the video card changes modes, and then the screen just never comes back. It is either blank (no backlight or indication that the leds or crt phosphors are lit up)
[06:04] <DBoyz> or black (the monitor is on and displaying video, it's just 100% pure black). Often you can still login in by entering your username/password, hear the login sounds, etc.  <-- yup this is what happening to me
[06:04] <DBoyz> but i cannot see the ubuntu splash screen too
[06:04] <dwxreaper> terminalvelocity: you might need libpcap
[06:04] <terminalvelocity> blakkheim: the program "wireshark" requires capture enabling
[06:05] <blakkheim> terminalvelocity: i know how wireshark works, but your sentence didn't make sensse
[06:05] <blakkheim> -s
[06:05] <terminalvelocity> dwxreaper: libpcap is available in the synaptic?
[06:06] <DBoyz> Workaround A: VESA Driver <-- how do i do this?
[06:06] <wgrant> terminalvelocity: What is message you get?
[06:06] <DBoyz> somebody teach me?
[06:06] <wgrant> DBoyz: If you can't see the purple boot splash screen, it's a different issue.
[06:06] <DBoyz> oh ok
[06:06] <terminalvelocity> blakkheim: the setup is asking me to enable capture drivers
[06:06] <DBoyz> :/
[06:07] <wgrant> DBoyz: Your laptop doesn't have hybrid (ATI or NVIDIA) graphics?
[06:07] <wgrant> terminalvelocity: Which setup?
[06:07] <DBoyz> purple boot splash screen which has the word 'ubuntu' and a few dots below it?
[06:07] <wgrant> terminalvelocity: How did you install Wireshark?
[06:07] <wgrant> DBoyz: That's the one.
[06:07] <DBoyz> hmm
[06:07] <DBoyz> ok
[06:08] <wgrant> DBoyz: If you can't see that, there's a deeper problem.
[06:08] <DBoyz> [09:07:11] <wgrant> DBoyz: Your laptop doesn't have hybrid (ATI or NVIDIA) graphics? <-- explain that to me, i dont get you
[06:08] <terminalvelocity> dwxreaper: which version of libpcap?
[06:08] <rob> terminalvelocity: are you running in su mode?
[06:08] <Andorin> So the left side of my screen extends past the edge of my monitor by a few pixels... running 64-bit 10.04 in 1440x900 resolution. Anyone know why it's doing this?
[06:08] <terminalvelocity> wgrant: installed software center
[06:09] <wgrant> DBoyz: Some Lenovo laptops come with "switchable graphics". They contain both an Intel graphics card and an ATI or NVIDIA card.
[06:09] <wgrant> DBoyz: Is yours one of them?
[06:09] <DBoyz> yup, wgrant
[06:09] <zfe> hello
[06:09] <zfe> is the problem with with installation from usb solved? (10.10)
[06:10] <bazhang> zfe, #ubuntu+1 for that
[06:10] <zfe> ok thanks
[06:10] <wgrant> DBoyz: Try setting the Switchable Graphics option in the BIOS to Discrete or Integrated, then try to boot again.
[06:10] <wgrant> DBoyz: Some of the newer implementations of switchable graphics can cause problems, so we should try to eliminate that as a possible cause.
[06:11] <DBoyz> ok wgrant
[06:11] <zack`ubuntu> DBoyz, do you have a lenovo laptop?
[06:11] <DBoyz> zack`ubuntu: V360
[06:11] <terminalvelocity> wgrant: should i install wireshark from the terminal instead or from a different source?.
[06:11] <DBoyz> im using Levono V360
[06:11] <wgrant> terminalvelocity: No. Software Center is fine. What happens when you run it? It just doesn't show any devices to capture from?
[06:11] <DBoyz> i forgot if its thinkpad or ideapad
[06:12] <zack`ubuntu> DBoyz: Yeah, I have the Y460 with switchable graphics, I'm trying to to use the onboard video card when I run Ubuntu, but instead it runs my ati 5650 and my computer gets so hot :(
[06:12] <wgrant> zack`ubuntu: Ubuntu 10.10's kernel should allow you to select between them. But does it not have an option in the BIOS?
[06:12] <wgrant> My T400 (about 18 months old) has a BIOS option for it, and it works fine.
[06:13] <DBoyz> i have no idea which graphic card does my ubuntu uses
[06:13] <DBoyz> how can i check?
[06:13] <zack`ubuntu> wgrant: i think we talked about this last week .. in bios, under configuration, i can only choose discrete or switchable
[06:13] <DBoyz> im using nvidia atm (using w7)
[06:14] <DBoyz> brb pee
[06:14] <zack`ubuntu> wgrant: but you said theres a way to change it in Ubuntu?
[06:15] <wgrant> zack`ubuntu: Ah, so that was you.
[06:15] <wgrant> zack`ubuntu: In Ubuntu 10.10 there should be, yes.
[06:15] <zack`ubuntu> err i have no idea what version im running, lol
[06:15] <zack`ubuntu> i just got ubuntu like 4 weeks ago, so im assuming its the latest.
[06:15] <wgrant> zack`ubuntu: The latest is Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. 10.10 will be released in a week.
[06:15] <zack`ubuntu> oh, so i have to wait a week then before i can do it
[06:15] <terminalvelocity> wgrant yes exactly, and in the setup instructions part 1 is says somthing about  capture support and capture driver enabled
[06:16] <wgrant> terminalvelocity: Ah. Your user account doesn't have access to the raw network devices. You need to run it with gksudo. Hit Alt+F2, then run "gksudo wireshark"
[06:16] <wgrant> Enter your password, and it should work.
[06:17] <zack`ubuntu> wgrant: so i just need to wait till 10.10 is released?
[06:17] <wgrant> zack`ubuntu: Worth a try. Its release date is 10/10/10.
[06:17] <DBoyz> bbl
[06:17]  * DBoyz reboots
[06:17] <DBoyz> xD
[06:18] <terminalvelocity> Alt+F2? is that your shortcut to open a terminal?
[06:18] <zack`ubuntu> wgrant: how does ubuntu go about updating itself? .. do i have to download something from the site?
[06:18] <greppy> terminalvelocity: alt-F2 opens a "run" dialog
[06:19] <blakkheim> zack`ubuntu: as root, aptitude update && aptitude full-upgrade
