[17:41] <ActionParsnip> vbwe: the u in usb stands for universal
[17:42] <rinku_kokiri> anyone have any idea why my stock volume control applet in ubuntu 10.10 won't control my volume?
[17:42] <ActionParsnip> vbwe: sure you can use unetbootin or the easy 1-2-3 app on pendrivelinux
[17:42] <vbwe> its like using a cd right
[17:42] <vbwe> insert usb and boot
[17:42] <xangua> rinku_kokiri: dod you uninstall pulseaudio¿
[17:42] <rofl0r> hi, i wanted to install updates but it display's "warning, you are about to install UNAUTHENTICATED software"
[17:43] <rinku_kokiri> hrm.. if i mute and unmute, it starts working
[17:43] <rinku_kokiri> that and one more thing is REALLY annoying, when i turn my vol all the way down, it resets my volume fade to full center
[17:43] <vbwe> can my usb also become normal again ?
[17:43] <ActionParsnip> vbwe: you can create the usb from windows
[17:43] <cross> Is anyone here familiar with the kdmrc config file?  I'm trying to set up an unusual configuration but I'm having a strange problem.
[17:43] <xangua> rofl0r: thee next time you add repositories remember to also add the !gpg KEY, sudo add-apt-repository "ppa's name" does that automatically
[17:44] <ActionParsnip> vbwe: sure, its just data, just format it
[17:44] <rinku_kokiri> vbwe, or fdisk it
[17:44] <rinku_kokiri> xangua, no i unstalled gstreamer-pulseaudio[insertnumbershere[
[17:44] <rofl0r> xangua, thanks, but i didnt add any repository ^^
[17:45] <sereal> How do I start a xterm, and then have it execute a command with a & so that it gives me back a command prompt. (for instance if I open a xterm and type tail -f /var/log/messages &) it will print out any updates to messages, but I can still type commands into that terminal. I want to use the -e option of xterm to do that.
[17:45] <vbwe> does win7 got dual boot ?
[17:45] <mkquist> rinku_kokiri: yeah, my volume does something similar, just have to turn in up/down after restart, and it seems to change balance as it goes/up down too.   a minor annoyance
[17:45] <Out_Cold> mibbed, i was on an arch box that used grub legacy... when i updated to grub2, i lost all info to about 7 OSs... I had to dig pretty deep for answers
[17:45] <ernov> cmoan, people, i need good, working config of an app to stream video over network, and that app should be able to run from cli via ssh
[17:45] <ActionParsnip> vbwe: you can dualboot with ubuntu, if thats what you mean?
[17:45] <rinku_kokiri> xangua, because of a disconnect issue i was having,  now the sound doesn't stop randomly (unless adobe crashes) but rather, my volume control will quit working (i have to manually adjust it from the sound preferences window) and when i turn my vol all the way down, it unfades my sound from the back, putting it full center, killing my eardrums
[17:46] <Out_Cold> vbwe, i doubt they allow you to use thier loader to dual boot
[17:46] <mibbed> Out_Cold sounds like fun
[17:46] <vbwe> i mean
[17:46] <Out_Cold> mibbed, depends on what cranks your gears :p
[17:46] <vbwe> if i start my pc up
[17:46] <rinku_kokiri> you would think by episode 10.10 they would have something as simple as sound fixed
[17:46] <vbwe> i want to see a select menu
[17:46] <vbwe> windows or ubuntu
[17:46] <xangua> rinku_kokiri: then reinstall what you removed
[17:46] <xangua> !dualboot | vbwe
[17:46] <ActionParsnip> vbwe: yes, win7 will be added to grub
[17:46] <rinku_kokiri> xangua, that didn't cause the problem
[17:46] <mibbed> Out_Cold lol, I suppose. I prefer java though, less to go wrong
[17:46] <captkirk> Does anyone know much about ptmx?
[17:47] <vbwe> i havent got amd
[17:47] <arvut> I have a problem with VLC, when I closed down the only VLC I was running, new VLCs with the same video as I previously watched started popping up. til there were countless of VLC's running the same video
[17:47] <rinku_kokiri> xangua, the problem was here before i uninstalled a problematic codec
[17:47] <Out_Cold> mibbed, but can't run the java on a busted box lol...
[17:47] <arvut> when I closed down one, many more popped up
[17:47] <arvut> like a hydra
[17:47] <ActionParsnip> vbwe: intel cpu's can be 64bit, amd64 just refers to ALL 64bit CPUs
[17:47] <arvut> with the same video that is
[17:47] <xangua> arvut: configure vlc to allow only one instance
[17:47] <Dr_Willis> arvut:  from terminal -> killall vlc    perhaps?
[17:47] <rofl0r> xangua, i did sudo apt-get install update, now the warning is gone
[17:47] <Out_Cold> vlc hydra... that's kinda a kool idea
[17:47] <mkquist> rinku_kokiri: might wanna try different settings on the 'output' tab where is says Connector, maybe help
[17:48] <mibbed> Out_Cold indeed . just updated grub after adding my windows partition to the folder, but it isn't showing windows still
[17:48] <mibbed> should it be?
[17:48] <rinku_kokiri> mkquist, that doesn't solve why when i adjust the volume, it changes my fade settings
[17:48] <Dr_Willis> rofl0r:  you mean 'sudo apt-get update', then 'sudo apt-get upgrade'
[17:48] <arvut> I had to do « sudo killall vlc » to quit them all
[17:48] <Out_Cold> did you follow the link with the uuids?
[17:48] <Dr_Willis> arvut:   i doubt if sudo was needed
[17:48] <rofl0r> Dr_Willis, no, after update immediately the update manager popped up
[17:48] <arvut> did it anyway, and it sure killed them
[17:49] <Dr_Willis> rofl0r:  yep. thats often how ti works.
[17:49] <ActionParsnip> arvut: you only need sudo if the process is not owned by your user
[17:49] <rinku_kokiri> mkquist, and i doubt that setting would fix any of my problems
[17:49] <mibbed> Out_Cold disregard that, it shows up when I try cat boot/grub/grub.cfg
[17:49] <Out_Cold> what shows up?
[17:49] <arvut> the problem is however, how could new VLC's pop up like that, playing a file that is stored on my external drive, and continue to do so even when I disconnected it?
[17:49] <rinku_kokiri> mkquist, cause i change it, i have NO sound... great fix
[17:50] <scott_ino2> my screen blanks out for a 1-2seconds every 10-20 minutes(not screensaver related), don't think it's a hardware issue, anybody else experiencing this?
[17:50] <mkquist> rinku_kokiri: lol
[17:50] <mibbed> Out_Cold, Ichat,trojan_spike , Thanks!
[17:50] <sereal> how can I launch a command with -e in xterm and have it go into the background (like typing a command with & at the end of it )
[17:50] <mibbed> Out_Cold I meant the windows 7 option, but it doesn't matter anymore
[17:50] <rinku_kokiri> I just wish canonical would TEST their os before releasing it
[17:50] <rinku_kokiri> ^^sarcasm
[17:50] <mibbed> hopefully won't be back later
[17:51] <arvut> scott_ino2: what monitor and graphics card do you have?
[17:51] <Dr_Willis> sereal:  -e 'command &' perhaps? or make a script that does the command & and launch that instead
[17:51] <rinku_kokiri> I mean why leave in a problematic codec THROUGH 2 VERSIONS?
[17:51] <ActionParsnip> rinku_kokiri: i suggest you read your EULA
[17:51] <rinku_kokiri> instead of fixing the problem, the "fix" is to uninstall?
[17:52] <scott_ino2> arvut, acer monitor(can get you model if needed, using DVI) and ATI Technologies Inc Radeon HD 3300 Graphics using the open source driver
[17:52] <vbwe> Mark partition as active what does that mean??
[17:52] <arvut> k, I have some screen blackouts every now and then but its hw related to the monitor I have (hp w19b)
[17:53] <rinku_kokiri> ActionParsnip, this eula?? where?
[17:53] <arvut> they normally last for less than a second tho
[17:53] <ActionParsnip> !eula
[17:53] <Dr_Willis> !eula
[17:53] <Dr_Willis> :)
[17:53] <rinku_kokiri> that worked
[17:53] <rinku_kokiri> lol
[17:53] <chmod> !eula
[17:53] <chmod> it did.
[17:53] <ActionParsnip> rinku_kokiri: basically the OS is open source, there is no SLA or integrity
[17:54] <ActionParsnip> rinku_kokiri: if it breaks you get both pieces
[17:54] <arvut> scott_ino2: try scroogling your monitors model name, with something like "screen blackout" in the search
[17:54] <rinku_kokiri> is there a "thou shalt not complain" clause?
[17:54] <arvut> might give you a good answer
[17:54] <ActionParsnip> rinku_kokiri: obviously devs strive for good results and such but there is no pressure on anyone involved to fix or do anything
[17:55] <rinku_kokiri> hence why my bug reports usually sit for 6-12 mos before being answered
[17:55] <scott_ino2> arvut, thanks will do, was just wondering if it was a known thing
[17:55] <arvut> first approach is always to find out if others have had the same problem as you do
[17:55] <ActionParsnip> rinku_kokiri: you can complain and log bugs but if they get attended or not is down to the devs etc
[17:55] <allure> !eula
[17:55] <vbwe> Mark partition as active what does that mean??
[17:55] <Pici> allure: There is no !eula
[17:55] <rinku_kokiri> i kno, i'm just a bit annoyed that my sound had to be fixed out of the box
[17:55] <Dr_Willis> vbwe:  its a partition 'flag'
[17:55] <mibbed> that lasted
[17:55] <allure> ic
[17:55] <rinku_kokiri> what happened to "it just works"
[17:55] <ActionParsnip> rinku_kokiri: they could just abandon the project if they wanted
[17:55] <vbwe> what does it mean?
[17:56] <Dr_Willis> vbwe:  normally windows has to boot from the 'active' partition. not sure if thats a limittaiin in vista/win7 or not.
[17:56] <ActionParsnip> rinku_kokiri: in many cases it does
[17:56] <Dr_Willis> vbwe:  its a flag that tells the bios  to 'boot this partition first' or somthing like that.. not used much any more.
[17:56] <ActionParsnip> vbwe: the active partition is the one looked on for boot info after the MBR is read
[17:56] <vbwe> oops i changed it to a wrong one
[17:57] <vbwe> and cant flag C: as active anymore
[17:57] <arvut> why is my aptitude (currently running an install run with new updates) not responding to ^C? it has been stuck at Unpacking replacement libasound2 ... for awhile now
[17:57] <Dr_Willis> with grub - i dont think the active partition matters.. not sure if it matters with win7 any more either
[17:57] <ActionParsnip> vbwe: c drive doesn't mean anything in linux
[17:57] <vbwe> i have windows 7
[17:57] <ActionParsnip> vbwe: still means nothing, windows incorrectly names partitions, drives
[17:58] <vbwe> ah ke
[17:58] <ActionParsnip> vbwe: the windows partition will not be the active one, the linux one will and grub will then boot the windows partition
[17:58] <Buttons840> there is a command which can be used to easily remove or add services to init - i've forgotten what this command was, but it was like config-init or init-config as best i can remember (though I'm obviously wrong since i can't find it)?
[17:58] <vbwe> ah i read the dual boot ubuntu but dont understand
[17:58] <vbwe> do i need to install somethnig?
[17:59] <jfroebe> Buttons840:  update-rc.d IIRC
[17:59] <ActionParsnip> vbwe: the ubuntu install will install grub for you and handle the dual boot
[17:59] <chmod> Buttons840, update-rc.d service default
[17:59] <vbwe> ah oke
[17:59] <Buttons840> jfroebe: yes, thank you
[17:59] <vbwe> i will now boot pc
[17:59] <vbwe> and install ubuntu
[17:59] <rinku_kokiri> so there's no fix to the problem
[18:00] <Buttons840> is there a command which will list what services are currently enabled, or do i just need to look at the init directories?
[18:00] <noob-tux> is there a way i could change cdrom0 to a preferred name i want to be named on the device? if so...how? thanx
[18:00] <Dr_Willis> noob-tux:  /dev/cdrom is just a link to the actual device. You could proberly make a link of your own name if you wanted.
[18:01] <trojan_spike> noob-tux, right click / properities / basic / name <
[18:01] <Dr_Willis> noob-tux:  i dont see what you gain by having other names...
[18:01] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: +1
[18:01] <noob-tux> thanx
[18:01] <trojan_spike> oh,, it doesnt let you,, soz..
[18:01] <ActionParsnip> noob-tux: the name is moot, you moust the device or use the given name as what you wish, you don't gain by a different name
[18:02] <Dr_Willis>  ln -s /dev/cdrom /dev/moot
[18:02] <Dr_Willis> :)
[18:02] <Dr_Willis> or did i get that backwards
[18:02] <trojan_spike> sys hardware
[18:02] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: looks good to me :)
[18:02] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: ln -s source dest
[18:03] <Dr_Willis> ln -s make_this_be  known_as_this
[18:03] <DaveCave> good afternoon everyone
[18:04] <seeker60> ok i am converting a friend from win xp home to ubuntu (another bites the dust -- yaaaa) but need to know where in the file structure music files would go and where internet favorites would be stored so that the browser can see them
[18:04] <DaveCave> anyone have experence with loading ubuntu to pocketpc devices?
[18:04] <mibbed> Hi again
[18:04] <Dr_Willis> seeker60:  thers a Music directory in the users Home.
[18:04] <mibbed> just thought I'd report everything's up and running
[18:04] <DaveCave> gratz
[18:04] <mibbed> thanks for the help, everyone
[18:05] <mibbed> you're awesome <3
[18:05] <Dr_Willis> seeker60:  firefox stores the favorites in the users .mozilla/XXXXX directory somewhere
[18:05] <ActionParsnip> seeker60: what browser is currently used?
[18:05] <geoffmcc> seeker60: most browsers have import and export of favorites built right in
[18:05] <erUSUL> seeker60: $HOME/Music ? internet favorites; export them as html in windows ( firefox ) import them in the linux firefox
[18:06] <seeker60> ok thanks guys
[18:06] <phuzion> How can I show all users in a group through the commandline?
[18:06] <ActionParsnip> seeker60: if the guy uses IE, you can install firefox and import the bookmarks, then transfer the favourites htm file to ubuntu
[18:06] <Dr_Willis> phuzion:  grep the /etc/groups file perhaps.
[18:07] <ActionParsnip> phuzion: just run: groups
[18:07] <ActionParsnip> phuzion: oh, other way
[18:07] <phuzion> ActionParsnip: Yeah, what you gave me shows what the current user is a member of
[18:07] <phuzion> thanks Dr_Willis
[18:08] <rinku_kokiri> ActionParsnip, this is the error i would get :pa_stream_cork() failed: Connection terminated
[18:08] <goltoof> say i'm copying over stuff with "cp -v"  and it gets to a large file that i don't care to copy over... any way to make it skip that file and continue copying everything else over without temrinating?
[18:08] <rinku_kokiri> that and pa_stream_writable_size(): Connection failed
[18:09] <rinku_kokiri> would happen randomly every 2-30 mins while watching a video
[18:09] <ActionParsnip> rinku_kokiri: what causes the error?
[18:09] <Dcite> phuzion: "groups" tells you who are you members of, "groupmems -g <groupname> -l" lists them (needs root)
[18:09] <ActionParsnip> Dcite: nice!
[18:09] <phuzion> Dcite: thanks.
[18:10] <DevolvedSpud> Hello all
[18:10] <miguel000> where do I put the programms and command for autostartup, when I use gdm but not the gnome window manager?
[18:10] <rinku_kokiri> ActionParsnip, watching any video while gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio is installed
[18:10] <vbwe> blah
[18:10] <vbwe> it wont boot from usb ;s
[18:10] <rinku_kokiri> ActionParsnip, or playing any media for that matter
[18:11] <noob-tux> Dr_Willis: nah.....i tried and i failed....i did this right click properties and doesnt even give me a chance to highlight to modify hehehe
[18:11] <rinku_kokiri> I uninstalled that and the problem went away, but i STILL (as in i had it before) have the "i can't change volume with the volume control" problem
[18:11] <Dr_Willis> rinku_kokiri:  i would wonder if its the sound card going to 'sleep' for some odd reason.
[18:11] <cutiyar> how to shRE MY INTERNET MODEM?
[18:11] <rinku_kokiri> it is a old Creative sound card
[18:11] <vbwe> i used universal usb installer and created the iso on my usb, now if i reboot windows it wont boot ubuntu installer. Why
[18:11] <vbwe> :S
[18:11] <Dr_Willis> !ics | cutiyar
[18:11] <BEAST_MODE> oR
[18:12] <rinku_kokiri> Dr_Willis, it is an old Creative card
[18:12] <BEAST_MODE> CHASE
[18:12] <Dr_Willis> vbwe:  ive seen pc's not boot some usb flash drives. or they dont like a specific flash drive.. or some programs dont make the usb flash drive properly.
[18:12] <cutiyar> Dr_Willis, whats ics?
[18:12] <vbwe> i got this program from the ubuntu site
[18:12] <rinku_kokiri> Dr_Willis, vbwe espically old dells
[18:12] <goltoof> vbwe, or try a different port
[18:12] <vbwe> i got a new pc
[18:12] <fzlamn> why this message appear when i try to install ubuntu 10.10 in my friend laptop. "ubi partman failed with exit code 10"
[18:12] <BEAST_MODE> in ubuntu what is the best network discovery tool
[18:12] <cutiyar> ubottu, its modeum internet
[18:12] <Dr_Willis> rinku_kokiri:  there was some issues befor with sound cards going into sleep mode when not in use. causing issues.. every 20 min. sort of flaged me thinking of that. would be VERY weird if it did it while its playing however.
[18:13] <vbwe> do i need to change some bios settings?
[18:13] <cutiyar> ubottu, not wired
[18:13] <BEAST_MODE> Ello oR
[18:13] <geoffmcc> vbwe: have you tried hitting esc at bios to bring up boot select and choose usb
[18:13] <rinku_kokiri> Dr_Willis, welllll........ hold on a sec, lemmie get my bug report
[18:13] <Dr_Willis> rinku_kokiri:  as for the sound volume. I recall having to use a mixer tool i could set to adjust the 'pcm' or 'master' volume.
[18:13] <adyeths> So I have this little problem... when I try to boot from an ubuntu 10.10 cd my screen goes blank. I never see anything. Anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed with fixing it so I can reinstall ubuntu?
[18:13] <Pici> cutiyar: Ubottu is a bot, a program, it cannot respond to you.
[18:13] <vbwe> hitting esc at bios setup ?
[18:13] <DevolvedSpud> i'm having trouble setting xorg for 1366x768 resolution, it seems like it refuses to accept it
[18:13] <Dr_Willis> adyeths:  whats your video card?
[18:13] <Dr_Willis> vbwe:  you need to make sure the pc can boot from USB of course.
[18:13] <rinku_kokiri> Dr_Willis, thing is, if i fiddle with it enough (mute, unmute, vol up, down, up) it finally works
[18:14] <adyeths> its an nvidia geforce 6150le
[18:14] <geoffmcc> vbwe: yes on my pc its esc but on others its different. look to see it should say hit f whatever for startup
[18:14] <vbwe> how can i know that willis
[18:14] <Dr_Willis> adyeths:  try the 'nomodeset' option at the boot menus.  Under the F6 options i recall.
[18:14] <goltoof> say i'm copying over stuff with "cp -v"  and it gets to a large file that i don't care to copy over... any way to make it skip that file and continue copying everything else over without temrinating?   this is driving me nuts.. it's copying over a 9 gig file
[18:14] <Dr_Willis> vbwe:  check yoru bios..
[18:14] <adyeths> ok, thank you very much. I will try that.
[18:14] <vbwe> i saw choose an.. in green
[18:14] <vbwe> and it dissapeared
[18:15] <BEAST_MODE> oR
[18:15] <BEAST_MODE> oR
[18:15] <geoffmcc> vbwe: if you cant find that then what DR_willis says - check bios usb probably set after hard disk so it never loads it cause loads your hard disk instead
[18:15] <cutiyar> Pici, what i do?
[18:15] <rinku_kokiri> Dr_Willis, my bug report
[18:15] <rinku_kokiri> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/671212
[18:15] <geoffmcc> vbwe: it usually esc or F+10 i think
[18:15] <vbwe> it says

[18:15] <FloodBot3> vbwe: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:15] <Dr_Willis> It can be any key.. :) pc makers love being non standard.
[18:16] <vbwe> f10 is edit boot options
[18:16] <vbwe> in dos like
[18:16] <geoffmcc> vbwe: yea sometimes goes fast - just hit deletete to get into bios and go to the startup section. Set usb to be first boot device
[18:16] <geoffmcc> vbwe: That the one
[18:16] <geoffmcc> vbwe:F10
[18:16] <Dr_Willis> ive had F1 F2, del, backspace, F10, or other keys...
[18:16] <goltoof> vbwe, del to get to bios, typically
[18:16] <BEAST_MODE> in ubuntu how do I use a netview
[18:16] <Dr_Willis> depends on the machine It SHOULD say at the post screens
[18:16] <geoffmcc> Dr_Willis: right- there should be a standard
[18:17] <lock> yea a lot of the time i just start dancing on the keyboard and that will bring up the bios menu :)
[18:17] <rinku_kokiri> rofl @ dancing on the keyboard
[18:17] <lock> especially when it flashes too fast to read which key to press lol
[18:17] <ubuntunewbie777> Could someone pls help me fix my Wifi problem - on 10.10?
[18:17] <geoffmcc> vbwe: in f10 does it list usb as boot option
[18:17] <rinku_kokiri> lock,  you breakdance?
[18:17] <hblount> hi. where can i find icon theme that has dark&simple icons?
[18:17] <lock> rinku_kokiri: only on the weekends :)
[18:17] <vbwe> wait
[18:17] <Dr_Willis> Many of my pc's have the BIOS settigns key.. THEN they also have a 'select boot device' key. :) which is handy
[18:18] <vbwe> im gonna reboot
[18:18] <vbwe> do i need to hit g10
[18:18] <vbwe> f10
[18:18] <rinku_kokiri> Dr_Willis, usually F12 or ESC (boot options)
[18:18] <Dr_Willis> rinku_kokiri:  one pc its F9 here.. Other its F10 :)
[18:18] <geoffmcc> vbwe: if it did say f10 for boot options, then yex
[18:18] <Dr_Willis> I put a gold star sticker above the proper key on each pc.. :)
[18:18] <ubuntunewbie777> Guys, Could someone pls help me fix my Wifi problem - on 10.10?
[18:18] <vbwe> yea edit boot options
[18:18] <lock> i really think they try to spread it out across the keyboard just to keep you guessing
[18:18] <Dr_Willis> ubuntunewbie777:  clarify the exact problem to the channel.
[18:18] <geoffmcc> vbwe: when u hit jsut gonna be a generic screen listing network, hardrive , cdrom and hopefully usv
[18:19] <goltoof> cd /
[18:19] <rinku_kokiri> my compaq (machine i'm on) has 2 bios selections, F10 for normal, F12 for extended (gives fan options)
[18:19] <vbwe> no
[18:19] <vbwe> not like that
[18:19] <goltoof> oops
[18:19] <HAF932> guys, is there a way to connect ubuntu remotely with a graphical user interface?
[18:19] <vbwe> edit windows boot options for windows 7
[18:19] <vbwe> it states
[18:19] <goltoof> HAF932,   vnc
[18:19] <vbwe> [ /NOEXECUTE=OPTIN
[18:19] <Krow_> hi guyz
[18:19] <Dr_Willis> HAF932:  from what OS? VNC can do it.. freeNX can.. or ubuntu to ubuntu, just 'X' or 'ssh' can do it..
[18:19] <mbeierl> HAF932: there's remote desktop style (vnc) using vinagre
[18:19] <rinku_kokiri> HAF932, yes, but it requires SSH, and an X server on the client
[18:19] <geoffmcc> vbwe: then thats not it--- go into bios and edit startup directly then
[18:20] <Dr_Willis> HAF932:  so 'yes' but it depends on the details. :)
[18:20] <HAF932> is it a default program comes with the package
[18:20] <vbwe> k im entering
[18:20] <vbwe> bios settings
[18:20] <nerdy_kid> anyone know how to adjust ufw's "LIMIT" rule?
[18:20] <ubuntunewbie777> Dr_Willis: I have a broadcom card and it refuses to even switch on. It was working fine in 10.04. Broke after the upgrade to 10.10
[18:20] <vbwe> boot sequence?
[18:20] <mbeierl> HAF932: vinagre is shipped as part of gnome desktop by default
[18:20] <geoffmcc> vbwe: yes
[18:20] <geoffmcc> vbwe: make usb first
[18:20] <vbwe> and then 1st boot usb:usb2.0 flash
[18:20] <vbwe> ok done
[18:21] <vbwe> i got like 8 usb ports
[18:21] <vbwe> does it matter\
[18:21] <mbeierl> HAF932: System -> Preferences -> Remote Desktop
[18:21] <geoffmcc> vbwe: restart with in and should load right up
[18:21] <vbwe> yeah it works
[18:21] <geoffmcc> vbwe: shouldnt
[18:21] <vbwe> purple screen
[18:21] <vbwe> :P
[18:21] <Dr_Willis> !broadcom
[18:21] <Dr_Willis> !wireless
[18:21] <geoffmcc> vbwe: glad it worked
[18:21] <ubuntunewbie777> Dr_Willis: I got it to work once with the STA driver in jockey, but that too broke after an upgrade. Now I've tried everything - both open source as well as proprietary ones
[18:22] <ubuntunewbie777> Nothing works. I've tried out everything in those pages - the links you've mentioned
[18:22] <geoffmcc> vbwe: might as well just keep it like that cause as long as flash drive is not bootable - you shouldnt notice that usb is first device
[18:22] <goltoof> I just want to reformat my primary partition, i'm in knoppix  what do i say to format sda1 to get it ready for 10.10
[18:22] <goltoof> ?
[18:22] <vbwe> hmm
[18:22] <vbwe> and
[18:22] <vbwe> i need to change the
[18:22] <vbwe> 6th
[18:22] <vbwe> hdd
[18:22] <vbwe> boot sorry
[18:22] <FloodBot3> vbwe: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:22] <vbwe> with my first ????
[18:22] <Dr_Willis> goltoof:  if doing a clean install of 10.10 - you can just delete it and letave it unallocated. and let the 10.10 installer partiion/format it..
[18:23] <Dr_Willis> goltoof:  no need to really do anything to it. the ubuntu installer can handle it. Unless you want a very specific layout.
[18:23] <geoffmcc> vbwe: wait, whats going on
[18:24] <vbwe> sorry, i have yea changed 1st boot to USB, but i removed 1st device as my SATA, do i need to put the 6th boot device as my old sata?
[18:24] <Dr_Willis> vbwe:  i would imagine you want it to be usb , cdrom, then the HD.
[18:24] <geoffmcc> vbwe: just the order that u need. if usb 1st i would but your hard drive (with operating systems) on second
[18:24] <goltoof> DR_Willis,  i think my drive got corrupted somehow so I wanted to reformat.  my problem is the livecd gives me errors and so does usb stick but different errors.  idk if it's something on the HD that's keeping them from booting but it's weird.
[18:25] <geoffmcc> vbwe: that way if dont detect a bootable img on usb will boot right to OS
[18:25] <Dr_Willis> goltoof:  check dmesg output.. if it mentions IO errrs./. thats bad..
[18:25] <goltoof> figured a proper reformat ahead of time would help
[18:25] <vbwe> or CD as second
[18:26] <geoffmcc> vbwe: right- i forgot about cd - dont do much booting of cds once installed though, so i usually keep that off
[18:26] <geoffmcc> vbwe: but it to your liking
[18:26] <goltoof> Dr_Willis,   I backed up all my stuff with knoppix so i'm doing ok.  now that it's all backed up i'll try to install and go from there
[18:26] <vbwe> oke thnx
[18:27] <geoffmcc> vbwe: anytime
[18:27] <Dr_Willis> goltoof:  format it  and watch dmesg output for any errors I guess.
[18:27] <Dr_Willis> goltoof:  perhaps try some other disk scan/verify tools also
[18:27] <vbwe> lol just made L: drive in win7 but in ubuntu it says dev/sda1 sdb lol dont know which one is the right one:P
[18:27] <goltoof> Dr_Willis,    like what?
[18:28] <goltoof> Dr_Willis, I got some i/o errors...   can't paste since it's on another machine
[18:28] <geoffmcc> vbwe: if your dual booting it usually notices the win partion-- are u using 10.10?
[18:28] <nijan> Hello, this is a really weird problem, To connect to the internet i have to authenticate through this page: https://auth3.unipi.it/auth/perfigo_weblogin.jsp?cm=ws32vklm Using linux, no matter the browser or the distro, it idles forever and wont load nor return any errors. thanks  a lot
[18:28] <vbwe> yes
[18:28] <vbwe> 10.10
[18:28] <resno> nijan: you should likely contact your network administrator
[18:28] <goltoof> end_request: I/O error, dev cloop0, sector 3865624
[18:28] <rigved> ActionParsnip: ya, sorry i had gone away for a while. so i serched using hardware drivers. there are no proprietary drivers in use on my compaq laptop.
[18:28] <denis_> bonoir des français ici ?
[18:29] <resno> !fr | denis_
[18:29] <rigved> ActionParsnip: so how do i use compiz to make grub2 load the low-level graphics mode by default
[18:29] <LjL> !fr | denis_
[18:29] <nijan> resno, i forgot to say that it works on windows
[18:29] <resno> LjL: i win
[18:29] <LjL> :(
[18:29] <vbwe> geoffmcc yes 10.10 :D
[18:29] <denis_> ok merci bien
[18:29] <geoffmcc> vbwe: it been a bit - but if i remember it should show you a little slide bar - half represents ubuntu - other half represents win - just shrink to liking
[18:29] <resno> nijan: yea, contact your network admin, you likely need an app to run
[18:29] <asa__> I have a weird problem. If I use any of my multimedia keys, ubuntu appears to crash. I can right click, but I can't left click or alt-tab. The only way I've found to get out of it is by using ctrl+alt+prntscrn+k. Is there a fix to this?
[18:29] <vbwe> oke i just restarted i remade boot list
[18:29] <vbwe> because main hdd wasnt on boot
[18:30] <cHarNe2> hi, i have a kernel-bug to report, where can i do that? (my NIC wont work with 2.6.32-24-generic)
[18:30] <vbwe> geoffmcc if i am going to programm like C++ or java etc. is ubuntu a better environment for that?
[18:30] <ankit> hi
[18:30] <nijan> sorry to insist resno, but i'd really to understand what's going on. what kind of app do you think i may need? it's just a plain html page (with jsp)
[18:30] <cHarNe2> second time i have this problem and last time it was a bug
[18:30] <geoffmcc> vbwe: oh im sorry - we werent on same page-- you were still in boot menu
[18:30] <goltoof> man dmesg
[18:30] <rinku_kokiri> nijan, you can install wireshark and monitor the traffic
[18:30] <goltoof> oops
[18:30] <geoffmcc> vbwe>: i teaching myself and i use ubuntu for it all- yes
[18:31] <vbwe> ok so
[18:31] <vbwe> im now in allocate drive space
[18:31] <geoffmcc> vbwe: i like to do everything in nano - whereas in window you have to use their compile programs
[18:31] <vbwe> wow
[18:31] <vbwe> n1
[18:32] <Dr_Willis> vbwe:  be a bit verbose in what you are wanting/doing/the problem.
[18:32] <geoffmcc> vbwe: carefull with the short multiple posts - ubottu will yell at you
[18:32] <nijan> can anybody load the page?
[18:32] <vbwe> ye sorry, hmm i cant find my right partition
[18:32] <nijan> rinku_kokiri, thanks, i'll have try even tohugh i don't think i'll have time to do that.
[18:33] <geoffmcc> nijan: sorry - most probably dont click willy nilly on links that were posted in irc
[18:33] <Dr_Willis> vbwe:  how many hard drives do you have? - You can always check the output of 'sudo fdisk -l'
[18:33] <vbwe> i went back i have 3 choises install alongside, erase, specify partitions
[18:33] <vbwe> 3 hdd
[18:33] <Dr_Willis> vbwe:  3 hard DRIVES.. or 1 hard drive with 3 partitions?
[18:33] <geoffmcc> vbwe: if u want dual boot u want along side
[18:33] <vbwe> 3 hddrives
[18:34] <goltoof> end_request: I/O error, dev cloop0, sector 3865624    can anyone tell me what this means and how to fix it
[18:34] <geoffmcc> vbwe: unless gonna but on own drive - then probably have to manual partition
[18:34] <Dr_Willis> so check fdisk -l, output and see whats what. :)
[18:34] <vbwe> 1 hardrive with 2 partitions
[18:34] <goltoof> i can't boot 10.10  from cd or usb... i need to reinstall
[18:34] <vbwe> i have one hardrive of 1 tb
[18:34] <goltoof> i/o errors got something to do with it but not sure where to start
[18:34] <vbwe> on that hd i made extra partition of 20 gb
[18:35] <Dr_Willis> goltoof:  you did check the md5sum of the iso befor using it?
[18:35] <goltoof> of course not!  :)
[18:35] <goltoof> but what about usb?
[18:35] <goltoof> no work either
[18:35] <geoffmcc> vbwe: not sure - when i did it i had all one partition and let ubuntu installer do all work
[18:35] <cutiyar> how to share internet ?
[18:36] <rinku_kokiri> nijan well, pinging and wireshark both return same result
[18:36] <rinku_kokiri> no response
[18:36] <vbwe> device for boot loader
[18:36] <rinku_kokiri> at all from linux
[18:36] <vbwe> which one
[18:36] <sgo11> hi, I am trying to combine png sequences to a video file. I tried "ffmpeg -i test%03d.png test.avi". but the output video is just the first frame.Did I do anything wrong?
[18:36] <geoffmcc> vbwe: what options are you getting
[18:36] <rigved> is it safe to remove the compiz packages from my compaq laptop (ubuntu 10.04)? i want to make grub2 load the low-level graphics mode by default (it means that desktop effects are diabled).
[18:36] <vbwe> much
[18:36] <rinku_kokiri> nijan, http://downorisitjustme.com/res.php?url=https%3A%2F%2Fauth3.unipi.it%2Fauth%2Fperfigo_weblogin.jsp%3Fcm%3Dws32vklm  says it's down
[18:37] <vbwe> wind7 loader
[18:37] <vbwe> also
[18:37] <nijan> rinku_kokiri, thanks, so i guess it can only be accessed inside the net
[18:37] <vbwe> hd1 sda sda1 hd2 sdb sdb1 sdb2 sdb3 hd3 sdc sc1 w7 loader
[18:37] <nijan> or there is a firewall blocking *nix :)
[18:37] <asa__> What should I do if multimedia keys make my mouse freeze?
[18:38] <geoffmcc> vbwe: wow, im totally lost, i dont remember ever getting anything like that
[18:38] <nijan> actually, i can ping and open auth3.unipi.it
[18:38] <nijan> but not that page
[18:38] <mbeierl> asa__: warm it up?  sorry - couldn't resist :)
[18:38] <geoffmcc> vbwe: you have only 2 partions on the disk right - one windows other you made for ubuntu
[18:38] <vbwe> i have hd1 hd2 and hd3 with 3 partitions i think sorry
[18:38] <bogomo> I need help.When i was auditing my "UNSECURED" network, i was lucky enough to find some guy who's sending virus everybody.I google his machine name and find out that hes been doing some monkey business. Its "YOUR-727A0A4E7C"  what can i do ?
[18:38] <asa__> :<
[18:39] <vbwe> shall i go in windows first and look ?
[18:39] <fadein> I'm running 10.10 on an ASUS eeePC netbook. Many people have been complaining that the "disable touchpad" hotkey Fn+F3 doesn't work.  I've noticed that it does work in gdm, and it's after logging in to X that it ceases to work.  Can anyone explain what's happening between GDM and X that could cause this?
[18:39] <geoffmcc> vbwe: i dont have a clear understanding of the screen your getting and i am worried as to what to say - i dont wanna be responsible for loss of data
[18:39] <Dr_Willis> bogomo:  sneak up behind him with a rubber mallet?
[18:39] <vbwe> ok wait
[18:40] <yagoo> fadein, there must be tinkers for that asus..
[18:40] <geoffmcc> vbwe: anything sda is one disk - if sdb is another disk and so on .... right channel?
[18:40] <un2him> how do i install the new ubuntu system font in debian?
[18:40] <yagoo> bogomo, try using WPA2+aes
[18:41] <vbwe> ive made a picture
[18:41] <Dr_Willis> un2him:  they have debs of it out ive seen.. could track one down.
[18:41] <vbwe> i will upload it on imageshack geoffmcc
[18:41] <fadein> yagoo: tinkers?
[18:41] <xangua> un2him: http://font.ubuntu.com/
[18:41] <geoffmcc> vbwe: k
[18:41] <Dr_Willis> un2him:  or just find teh font file and copy it to your .fonts dir
[18:42] <goltoof> Dr_Willis,   can't really check the md5sum, it's an image someone burned for me.  the system is toast now.  any ideas how i get it to work with usb stick?
[18:42] <un2him> Dr_Willis, xangua: thanks for the links!
[18:42] <yagoo> fadein, search for "touchpad" there's a workaround link on this page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Netbooks
[18:42] <Dr_Willis> goltoof:  if you made the usb drive from a bad ISO image.. well.. you need to remake it with a good iso image.
[18:42] <geoffmcc> vbwe: if it long url just msg me it
[18:42] <goltoof> Dr_Willis,   i get this error   "(initramfs) Can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs) on //filesystem.quashfs"   when i run the cd
[18:43] <vbwe> ok wait
[18:43] <Dr_Willis> goltoof:  sounds like a bad cd to me.
[18:43] <Dr_Willis> goltoof:  or some sort of read issue with it.. try it on other pcs ?
[18:45] <trashbird1240> Hi
[18:45] <trashbird1240> I'm having trouble logging in from gdm on Lucid Lynx (10.04)
[18:45] <vbwe> uploading
[18:45] <goltoof> Dr_Willis,   trying usb again then i'll try redownloading the image
[18:45] <rigved> how can i make the low-level graphics mode (desktop effects diabled) of ubuntu my default (so that grub boots into it when i start)?
[18:45] <rigved> i have a old compaq laptop, so it does not support the gnome de with the normal desktop effects enabled.
[18:45] <geoffmcc> vbwe: k
[18:46] <goltoof> thanks
[18:46] <rigved> should i remove the compiz packages?
[18:46] <TaunoT> um guys... i think i need help...
[18:46] <TaunoT> I have installed Ubuntu on Win 7 which has 2 partitions, ubuntu has been installed on the second one and win 7 download folder is located at the partition that ubuntu is on. How do i reach it?
[18:46] <Dr_Willis> goltoof:  i thought theres some sort of 'verify the disk' option in the boot menus. that would verify the files.. unless of course its so badly messed up that dont even work
[18:46] <xangua> rigved: there is !lubuntu for low resources
[18:46] <geoffmcc> goltoof: if disk not working and u made usb boot off image - my $ on bad image
[18:46] <trashbird1240> Everything was working fine, then I restarted
[18:47] <Dr_Willis> rigved:  i think theres some confusuin on what you are trying to do.. If you want a minimal desktop for a low end system. try the 'lubuntu-desktop'  Its very handy.
[18:47] <rigved> xangua: ok. i'll check that.
[18:47] <trashbird1240> After I enter my password and hit enter, the screen blanks and then returns me to the login screen (greeter)
[18:47] <vbwe> wow takes long
[18:47] <geoffmcc> vbwe: just said ok -- to you saying u were uploading to let u know i still here
[18:47] <Dr_Willis> rigved:  if you want to use gnome, then you can disable compiz.  that will disable the eyecandy. but still need more resources then lubuntu
[18:47] <goltoof> geoffmcc,  yes, i just realized that
[18:48] <ace_steel> \exit
[18:48] <rigved> Dr_Willis: no. i want to have the same set-up as ubuntu, but i just do not want the desktop effects.
[18:48] <vbwe> geoffmcc
[18:48] <Dr_Willis> rigved:  so disable compiz..
[18:48] <Dr_Willis> rigved:  set desktop effects to 'none' or use 'metacity --replace'
[18:49] <geoffmcc> vbwe: yea?
[18:49] <rigved> Dr_Willis: should i just remove it using software center?
[18:49] <rigved> Dr_Willis: ok
[18:49] <rony_> hi
[18:49] <TaunoT> Can someone answer my question please, i'd really appreciate it :S
[18:50] <vbwe> geoffmcc i have pmed you the link
[18:50] <rony_> i want to know,how can i explore my drive in terminal?
[18:50] <blakkheim> rony_: cd
[18:50] <Dr_Willis> !terminal | rony_
[18:50] <geoffmcc> vbwe: checking now
[18:51] <TaunoT> I have installed Ubuntu on Win 7 which has 2 partitions, ubuntu has been installed on the second one and win 7 download folder is located at the partition that ubuntu is on. How do i reach it?
[18:51] <Dr_Willis> rony_:  spend a few min reading some command line tutorials..  the go for it.
[18:51] <philinux> TaunoT: Is this wubi?
[18:51] <TaunoT> yes
[18:51] <geoffmcc> TaunoT: windows does a pretty good job at hiding the ubuntu partition , i would boot into ubuntu put files on usb and then go windiows and change download folder to where should be in windows
[18:52] <philinux> TaunoT: Then there should be a menu at boot up to choose either OS
[18:52] <geoffmcc> TaunoT: sorry didnt see the wubi- that might be different
[18:52] <wildc4rd> evenin' all!
[18:52] <vbwe> did the image work geoffmcc
[18:52] <Dr_Willis> WUBI can access the windows drives.. i was thinking it was allready setup that way. but i forget where. :) i recall looking this up on the wubi wiki pages for a guyy in here once.
[18:52] <rony_> what is the command for explore my drive?
[18:52] <TaunoT> oh
[18:52] <Dr_Willis> !wubi
[18:52] <TaunoT> currently i'm on ubuntu
[18:52] <Dr_Willis> rony_:  clarify what you mean by 'explore'
[18:53] <blakkheim> rony_: i just told you
[18:53] <uLinux> hello
[18:53] <rony_> how can i open my drive by terminal?
[18:53] <philinux> TaunoT: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#How%20can%20I%20access%20the%20Wubi%20files%20from%20Windows?
[18:54] <sir_tyrion> Hi I did `sudo passwd` to change my password but the new pass doesn't unlock my gnome-keyring?!? Help?
[18:54] <rony_> i need some essential command
[18:54] <gopper> The gnome-translate tool shows some HTML tags in the "Translated text" field. Is there a way to get rid of them?
[18:54] <vbwe> http://img836.imageshack.us/i/imageebt.jpg/ << wil it select here my extra partition of 20 gb that i created in win 7
[18:54] <Dr_Willis> rony_:  you need to be more clear. 'open the drive' has several meanings...
[18:54] <rigved> Dr_Willis: wait. there a problem with that. i cannot boot using the normal mode because my laptop does not support the default desktop effects. so everytime i have to boot into recovery mode, and run in the failsafe graphics mode - the only option i can select is run in low-end graphics mode only for this session only (that's low-end graphics mode with desktop effects disabled). so there is no way to set the graphics mode to "no desktop effects". i'l try me
[18:54] <rigved> tacity --replace.
[18:54] <Dr_Willis> rony_:  if you mean 'start the gui file manager at a set location' the command is 'nautilus'
[18:55] <geoffmcc> vbwe: seem my pm
[18:55] <Dr_Willis> rigved:  use the alt-cd to install if you wanted to not use the gui installer.
[18:55] <TaunoT> philinux: What i'm trying to do , is use contents of windows 7 download folder while running ubuntu (wubi).
[18:55] <blakkheim> TaunoT: just do a real install, don't bother with wubi
[18:55] <Dr_Willis> rigved:  i dont know wht 'default' desktop effects you mean. Unless the thing has a issue with X due to its drivers.
[18:55] <sir_tyrion> Hi I did `sudo passwd` to change my password but the new pass doesn't unlock my gnome-keyring?!? Only my old password unlocks teh keyring
[18:55] <rigved> Dr_Willis: i have installed using the alt-cd, because my laptop cannot run the normal ubuntu cd
[18:56] <blakkheim> !repeat | sir_tyrion
[18:56] <Dr_Willis> rigved:  and your video card is what exactly?
[18:56] <philinux> TaunoT: The Windows partition where you installed Wubi is available as /host within Ubuntu (places > computer > file system > host) All the other partitions will be available under places > removable media
[18:56] <TaunoT> Oh, wubi is not as good as clean install?
[18:56] <vbwe> with 10.10 install which device do i need to select for boot loader installation, windows 7 loader??
[18:56] <blakkheim> TaunoT: no
[18:56] <Dr_Willis> philinux:  i was trying to look that up. :) i knew it was some easy name..  but not in /media/ like one would expect.
[18:56] <TaunoT> ok
[18:57] <Dr_Willis> TaunoT:  wubi.. sort of.. well.. sucks.. :)
[18:57] <rigved> Dr_Willis: not sure. i'll check. it's some integrated intel chipset
[18:57] <rony_> how can i play a song by typing command in terminal?
[18:57] <AbhiJit> how to open .dir and .pag files?
[18:57] <philinux> TaunoT: I would only use it to test and i would not allow any ubuntu updates especially to any item of brub.
[18:57] <TaunoT> Phinilux: Thanks for that tip!
[18:57] <cutiyar> this link is for wired connection https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing?action=show&redirect=InternetConnectionSharing

[19:04] <vbwe> which one do i need to choose
[19:04] <petan> kubanc brasero works good for burning of img it is weird you have troubles with that
[19:04] <fadein> bleu_: ubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu?
[19:04] <seeker60> does ubuntu 10.10 format hard drive before install?
[19:04] <bleu_> fadein: ubuntu
[19:04] <fadein> bleu_: depends on which flavor you installed
[19:04] <Dr_Willis> vbwe:  linux dosent use drive letters. You can use windows and have some 'unallocated' space that linux can use. there was no need for windows to format it.
[19:04] <administrador> hola español

[19:05] <petan> kubanc apt-get install burn
[19:05] <geoffmcc> Dr_Willis: in that pic i believe it sdb3 - but im not sure were to tell him to put bootlaoder
[19:05] <Dr_Willis> vbwe:  use windows.. delete the k: partition, leave it unallocated.. restart ubuntu isntaller. and it can 'use unallocated space'
[19:05] <trojan_spike> any1 recommend a good M-B with on board raid
[19:05] <geoffmcc> Dr_Willis: would that be in sdb3 as well?
[19:05] <petan> kubanc not just burn iso

[19:05] <administrador> espanish

[19:07] <geoffmcc> Dr_Willis: thank u i knew wasnt in 3 -- or i should say i figured
[19:07] <fadein> bleu_: click it, and go into "Recovery Console"
[19:07] <fadein> bleu_: then tell me if that worked
[19:07] <lock> xcarm you will have to see if that stick has linux driver support
[19:07] <unsigned> Why does 'startx' start the DE? I want to just start X w/o the DE (I'm on 10.04)

[19:07] <bleu_> fadein: will do brb

[19:07] <OddJoe69> how can I get my sound working right? Realtek ALC888 sound card
[19:08] <Dr_Willis> unsigned:  because startx reads various settings files to tell it what to launch.
[19:08] <xcarm> lock: yes, where can i downloaded this driver?
[19:08] <baagz> OddJoe69: try googling for that + driver
[19:08] <Dr_Willis> unsigned:  if you want just bare 'X' then run 'X' perhaps.
[19:08] <vbwe> do i need to make it unallocated first xangua
[19:08] <Dr_Willis> unsigned:  i cant imagine why you want that however.

[19:08] <kubanc> petan, why is it doing image checksum...?
[19:08] <vbwe> but do i need to select windows7(load) as boot loader?

[19:08] <unsigned> Dr_Willis, i'm creating a special configuration for embedded use
[19:09] <lock> xcarm: what type of stick is it?
[19:09] <xangua> vbwe: you can't, grub will be the bootloader
[19:09] <goltoof> any way to see transmission settings from cl?   ie, download statuses, add new torrent url/file

[19:10] <JohnHeikkila> philinux: Yeah, but that wouldn't work for my laptop can't find any wireless networks
[19:10] <fadein> bleu_: ok.  that means that there is something scurvy with your Gnome setup

[19:12] <vbwe> Dr_Willis do i need to make ubuntu drive unallocated first?
[19:12] <fadein> bleu_: in that console, can you see what's in your /usr/share/xsessions/gnome.desktop?
[19:12] <JohnHeikkila> philinux: Sure, I'll try it.

[19:12] <Euthanatos> I think i figured out the root of my problem https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/84145/  how can use that to fix it?
[19:12] <bleu_> fadein: let me go check its in a diff room
[19:12] <Dr_Willis> vbwe:  not really.. thje installer can delete/remake the partitions it needs.. its easier to have it use the unallocated space if you are setting up the HD's beforhand.
[19:12] <philinux> :p
[19:12] <vbwe> how can i sellect a partition
[19:12] <eurythmia> deepinferno: with the context you've given us, it could be just about anything.
[19:12] <vbwe> in install
[19:12] <JohnHeikkila> philinux: But what exactly should I update? apt-get update, upgrade do nothibf
[19:12] <Dr_Willis> vbwe:  theres was no need for you to reformat the 'k:' drive under widnows,. just having unaloccated space would have worked.
[19:12] <JohnHeikkila> philinux: *nothing
[19:13] <JohnHeikkila> philinux: Any ideas before I boot to an older kernel?
[19:13] <petan> vbwe it should ask you
[19:13] <philinux> JohnHeikkila: Has this machine only got buntu on it
[19:13] <JohnHeikkila> philinux: Yes
[19:13] <eurythmia> deepinferno: the general answer is that it appears to be the hexidecimal representation of 15 bytes.
[19:13] <philinux> JohnHeikkila: You might have accidently knocked the wirlesss switch on the lappy
[19:13] <vbwe> Dr_Willis http://img836.imageshack.us/i/imageebt.jpg/ is this the way to select that partition ?
[19:14] <lock> xcarm: does it say what version of ubuntu it supports or just ubuntu in general?
[19:14] <JohnHeikkila> philinux: No, besides the reboot would have dealt with that (my laptop has a button for wireless, not switch)
[19:14] <deepinferno> eurythmia: hmm, but how can i discovery what is write there?
[19:14] <Dr_Willis> vbwe:  is sdb3 the partition you wanted to use?
[19:14] <philinux> JohnHeikkila: Try an older kernel. And try the livecd
[19:14] <JohnHeikkila> philinux: And my network manager shows if it's disabled

[19:14] <blocky> Anybody ever used the redshift app to change monitor color temperature? I installed it and now my monitor is super orange, and I can't disable it
[19:15] <eurythmia> deepinferno: by figuring out where it came from, and what type of data it should be. Once you know what type of data it is, it's trivial to decode.
[19:15] <metaphaze> How can I use dmraid to populate /dev/mapper with an Intel RAID Volume so I can mnt the filesystem in Ubuntu?
[19:16] <baggar11> blocky: can you kill the process?
[19:17] <blocky> baggar11, it didn't help. I fixed it though, installed a config app called redshiftgui

[19:18] <metaphaze> how can I map the Windows key to open a new terminal?

[19:18] <bleu_> fadein: ok i can see that dir
[19:18] <metaphaze> goltoof, before you mount do the following
[19:19] <Dr_Willis> metaphaze:  you may want to just use guake, or some other 'terminal on a Fkey' tool.
[19:19] <dli> hi, how do I hide the text part "Applications" of the system menu anchor, and showing only an icon?
[19:19] <metaphaze> 'sudo mount /dev/*

[19:22] <goltoof> metaphaze, nope
[19:22] <bleu_> fadein: i tried to fresh install like 3 times and it still does this
[19:22] <Dr_Willis> uski:  you can also edit the grub boot menu on the fly. and add it to the end, for a one time test.   You will  need to proberly do that, then edit the file, then rerun 'sudo update-grub'
[19:22] <Dr_Willis> uski:  to make it always be there.

[19:27] <dreinull> AbhiJit: come on, I meant abo-adeb, my autocomplete picked the wrong nick. I just replied to his greeting in Arabic.
[19:27] <JohnHeikkila> Hey, I need help! I installed updates for my Ubuntu today, rebooted and now my wireless ain't working. Logs have registered this error: ath5k phy0: gain calibration timeout
[19:28] <hovefirse> Hi folks. I'm trying to compile a driver for my wireless network dongle on Maverick, but the driver code provided is for an older kernel (8.04). I get quirky error messages, like "error: ‘struct net_device’ has no member named ‘get_stats’". Any gurus here who know what to do in cases like this?
[19:28] <AbhiJit> dreinull, who are you?
[19:28] <rigved> my compaq laptop has two video drivers - i740 and i8xx+i9xx. so you think that these two drivers are clashing and causing a problem. will anything go if i remove the i740 drivers?
[19:28] <AbhiJit> dreinull, do i know you?
[19:28] <dreinull> AbhiJit: no, I dont know you and you dont know me.
[19:28] <killerkristin1> like I said if I jack the Mic volume for the headset to 100% I can hear myself so I know it is working but for some reason my Applications are not registering sound
[19:28] <uski> Dr_Willis, thanks, that default/grub option was exactly what I've been looking for!
[19:28] <bleu_> fadein: ok  no it doesnt look like what you put
[19:28] <fadein> bleu_: how different is it?  wildly different?
[19:28] <gopper> The gnome-translate tool shows some HTML tags in the "Translated text" field, probably because of the Google translator. Is there a way to get rid of them?
[19:28] <Dr_Willis> uski:  play with that 'beep' option in the file :) it can play a tune as it boots.. heh.
[19:29] <dreinull> killerkristin1: yes, because your applications are listening in the wrong place.
[19:29] <bleu_> fadein: it says stuff like gnome session this and that
[19:29] <goltoof> okay, too many desparate people here...  walking it off now..
[19:29] <killerkristin1> I changed the input though so how could that be?
[19:29] <killerkristin1> I rebooted just in case and that didnt fix it
[19:29] <dreinull> goltoof: whats the problem?
[19:30] <goltoof> dreinull,  trying to get a thumb drive mounted, i get no authorization
[19:30] <fadein> bleu_: The important thing, I think, is the Exec= part
[19:30] <Dr_Willis> !mount
[19:30] <dreinull> killerkristin1: ubuntu and sound can be like rewriting the kernel. My experience.
[19:30] <hovefirse> Or, which group would be better suited for questions regarding this problem?
[19:30] <JohnHeikkila> Hey, I need help! I installed updates for my Ubuntu today, rebooted and now my wireless ain't working. Logs have registered this error: ath5k phy0: gain calibration timeout
[19:30] <bleu_> fadein: what is it supposed to say?
[19:30] <dreinull> goltoof: did you try the terminal?
[19:30] <goltoof> dreinull,   this started happening recently, sometimes it'll mount, most times it won't.
[19:30] <petan> goltof what fs is on drive? fat?
[19:30] <petan> * goltoof
[19:30] <goltoof> dreinull,   doesn't appear in /mnt
[19:30] <dreinull> goltoof: so you're using automount?
[19:31] <fadein> bleu_: I believe that it should look like mine.  Mine works.  I'm curious to see yours...
[19:31] <dreinull> goltoof: did you check /media?
[19:31] <fadein> bleu_: i think the default editor is called pico
[19:31] <goltoof> dreinull,   if you consider plugging it in and just expecting it to work as "automount" then yes
[19:31] <dreinull> killerkristin1: sorry I'm not sure I can help you.
[19:31] <hblount> hi. is there a simple way to change the color of the top title bar thing on different windows?
[19:31] <JohnHeikkila> Hey, I need help! I installed updates for my Ubuntu today, rebooted and now my wireless ain't working. Logs have registered this error: ath5k phy0: gain calibration timeout
[19:31] <goltoof> dreinull, not in media either
[19:31] <fadein> bleu_: you'll need to use sudo to edit that file
[19:31] <petan> goltoof what fs
[19:32] <djzn> which videocard brand should I acquire for linux, NVIDIA or AMD
[19:32] <fadein> bleu_: just had another idea.  Log in to the recovery console
[19:32] <killerkristin1> JohnHeikkila: try reinstalling your drivers
[19:32] <fadein> bleu_: when it comes up, run gnome-session in that terminal
[19:32] <goltoof> it shows in nautilus places, but i get "Not authorized" when i try to get into it
[19:32] <bleu_> fadein: ok will try the recovery
[19:32] <goltoof> petan, fat32
[19:32] <fadein> bleu_: it'll try to launch gnome - if it fails, hopefully it will say something useful in the console
[19:32] <Guitar_Art> hello all
[19:32] <Guitar_Art> ( :
[19:32] <JohnHeikkila> killerkristin1: I can't find ath5k from synaptic
[19:32] <metaphaze> any software raid guys here?
[19:32] <petan> goltoof type mount in terminal do you see it?
[19:32] <dreinull> goltoof: sorry, no idea.
[19:33] <fadein> bleu_: that may clue you in on what is wrong
[19:33] <goltoof> petan,  nope
[19:33] <dreinull> wow, this channel is like a bazaar.
[19:33] <petan> goltoof are you in group fuse or adm in /etc/group
[19:33] <icarus_> Hi has anyone used dradis in ubuntu i have a few questions?
[19:33] <hovefirse> Hi folks. I'm trying to compile a driver for my wireless network dongle on Maverick, but the driver code provided is for an older kernel (8.04). I get quirky error messages, like "error: ‘struct net_device’ has no member named ‘get_stats’". Any gurus here who know what to do in cases like this?
[19:33] <goltoof> petan,  o_0   please elaborate
[19:33] <killerkristin1> JohnHeikkila: what wireless card you using?
[19:33] <petan> goltoof type ls /dev/sd*
[19:33] <metaphaze> dreinull, yeah it is
[19:34] <goltoof> petan, /dev/sda  /dev/sda1  /dev/sda2  /dev/sda5  /dev/sdb

[19:34] <petan> goltoof swith to rot
[19:34] <arvut> It seems my aptitude has problems locking on to some dir. any idea on how to fix this?
[19:34] <dreinull> petan: i.e. use windows?
[19:34] <goltoof> petan,   ok
[19:34] <petan> goltoof type mkdir /media/drive
[19:35] <petan> goltoof then mount /dev/sdb /media/drive
[19:35] <orbit> Hello, i have Ubuntu 10.0.4 and every time i reboot my computer the visual effects are gone, someone know a way to fix this? i got a Nvidia 9600MX card.
[19:35] <petan> dreinull: what?
[19:36] <goltoof> petan,   how do you know /sbd is the right one?
[19:36] <icarus_> I have same problem on login screen sice update, the resolution is not right
[19:36] <dreinull> petan: swith to rot -> Rot quickly.
[19:36] <petan> goltoof: how many drives you have
[19:36] <goltoof> mount: special device /dev/sbd does not exist
[19:36] <icarus_> Hi has anyone used dradis before?
[19:36] <arvut> I get the following errors in aptitude: "Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock..."
[19:36] <petan> goltoof it is sdb typo
[19:36] <goltoof> petan,  just one
[19:37] <vinoo> i'm trying to install ubuntu 10.10 on my dell inspiron 14 n4030 but i cant boot from the cd, error: GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0)
[19:37] <vinoo> any idea?
[19:37] <goltoof> petan,  and there it is
[19:37] <petan> what
[19:37] <goltoof> petan,  but why am i having to do this?
[19:37] <goltoof> petan,   i see the contents now
[19:37] <killerkristin1> JohnHeikkila: This may help someone. I have Atheros AR5001 and I have managed to make my wifi work with the following commands:
[19:37] <killerkristin1> sudo apt-get update
[19:37] <killerkristin1> sudo modprobe acer-wmi
[19:37] <petan> goltoof: are you in group adm?
[19:38] <goltoof> petan,   gee i'm really not familiar with working with groups
[19:38] <JohnHeikkila> killerkristin1: Okay, tried that but no. Currently following this topic: http://georgia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9287770
[19:38] <goltoof> petan, what should i check?
[19:38] <Jordan_U> goltoof: It might have something to do with the fact that your drive does not have a partition table, which is rather odd and likely not tested very much.
[19:38] <petan> goltoof check if you have permision to mount drives
[19:38] <JohnHeikkila> killerkristin1: So do I need to reboot or restart my wireless for the changes to take place?
[19:38] <petan> goltoof open users panel
[19:39] <killerkristin1> shouldnt need to but give it a shot
[19:39] <karthick1987> How to stop ssh service
[19:39] <bleu_> fadein: i could log into safe mode session
[19:39] <goltoof> Jordan_U, `  is that something that i could create for the drive?  or does it need to be redone?
[19:39] <gianni> #ubuntu-ita
[19:40] <bleu_> fadein: and the exec=gnome session
[19:40] <fizzlefish> Question.  I recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 my work computer to try out.  I am having trouble connecting to windows directories on the file server. I get the following error.  "Unable to mount location. Failed to retrieve share list from server"  Any suggestions?
[19:40] <Scunizi> karthick1987: sudo service ssh stop
[19:40] <killerkristin1> JohnHeikkila: try this as well sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
[19:40] <petan> Jordan_U: not I do not think so the drive works
[19:40] <goltoof> petan, ok.. not sure what to change here
[19:40] <JohnHeikkila> killerkristin1: Yeah, I've tried all the if- and iwconfig commands
[19:40] <Scunizi> fizzlefish: install smbfs/cifs first as a test
[19:40] <petan> goltoof: check if there is permission to mount
[19:40] <ANTRat> ls -lrt
[19:41] <fadein> bleu_: let me understand you: when you ran "gnome-session" from the recovery console, it logged you into gnome?
[19:41] <Jordan_U> petan: But it certainly does not have a partition table, which may break some assumptions made by the auto mounter.
[19:41] <petan> Jordan_U: why do you think that
[19:41] <goltoof> petan,   i'm the only user.. not clear where to check for mount perms
[19:41] <killerkristin1> JohnHeikkila: I am not sure then sorry
[19:41] <bleu_> fadein: i exited the terminal, loged in under safe mode
[19:41] <Jordan_U> goltoof: It's possible to make a partition after the fact without reformatting the drive completely, but not easy.
[19:41] <petan> goltoof: open your account and then groups or permission then look there
[19:42] <gianni> j #ubuntu-it
[19:42] <bleu_> fadein: and in that file you are asking about the part where exec is it says gnome desktop
[19:42] <fadein> bleu_: yeah, that's the name of the program that the login screen should run after it checks your password
[19:42] <goltoof> petan, yes, looking.. not clear... but still looking :)
[19:42] <petan> Jordan_U: why you think it does not have partition? it is unneccessary auto mount works for drives like that
[19:42] <fadein> bleu_: so I'm just asking you to run it manually to see if it gives an error message in the recovery console
[19:43] <Jordan_U> petan: He does not have any sdb1, only sdb. And since he can mount "sdb" directly it means that he has no partition table, just a filesystem starting at the beginning of the drive.
[19:43] <bleu_> fadein: oh
[19:43] <fadein> bleu_: otherwise, if it's erroring out, it's probably just throwing the output away
[19:43] <bleu_> let me try to run that from the terminal
[19:43] <petan> Jordan_U: it is flash drive those are formated like that it is ok
[19:44] <goltoof> petan,  maybe i should check with cli instead
[19:44] <petan> goltoof: if you open user panel and open your account what is there
[19:44] <petan> goltoof: some tab like permission do you see it
[19:44] <Jordan_U> petan: Some flash drives are formatted this way, but most aren't (and I personally think none should be). While the automounter should still work reliably in this case I wouldn't be surprised if this case isn't tested very often.
[19:44] <arvut> how can I kill dpkg?
[19:45] <goltoof> petan,  System > Administration > Users & Groups  ?
[19:45] <petan> goltoof: indeed
[19:45] <goltoof> petan,   negative
[19:45] <dli> arvut, usually, you don't kill it
[19:45] <petan> goltoof: can you open that
[19:45] <dli> arvut, Ctl-C, if you have to
[19:45] <goltoof> petan,   yes i can open it but i can't find anything that you ask for
[19:45] <petan> goltoof: modify account
[19:46] <Sean93> arvut: do "top | grep dpkg"
[19:46] <jpds> Sean93: I think you mean: ps auxf | grep ...
[19:46] <goltoof> petan,  there is no "modify account"  :)   need to get a little more specific where to look
[19:46] <Sean93> jpds: I'm a noob :P
[19:46] <petan> goltoof: properties on your
[19:47] <petan> goltoof: user privileges
[19:47] <arvut> its not running, but there is a lock on some dpkg dir that prevents me from running any updating application
[19:47] <arvut> root     25329  0.0  1.3  31828 28472 ?        Ds   17:54   0:00 /usr/bin/dpkg --status-fd 36 --unpack --auto-deconfigure /var/cache/apt/archives/libasound2_1.0.23-1ubuntu2.1_i3
[19:47] <arvut> thats what I'm getting from ps aux
[19:48] <goltoof> petan,  ok... i got too much other stuff to arse with this.  I'm going to reformat the drive now that i can see it and figure out this perms thing later.   thanks though!
[19:48] <Sean93> "kill 25329" (correct me if im wrong)
[19:48] <arvut> Sean93: doesnt work
[19:48] <petan> goltoof: that wont help you, do you see that tab there?
[19:48] <he2> i have a problem with the battery display?
[19:48] <arvut> killall and pkill doesnt work either
[19:48] <petan> goltoof: I think you dont have permision to mount drives thats reason
[19:49] <ghisen|home> Hi, how can i change the Full name of my user in ubuntu? Can't find it!
[19:49] <bleu_> fadein: i tried running gnome-session from terminal and it kicks me back to the login screen
[19:49] <goltoof> petan.... honestly.... i'm not seeing a single thing that you're describing to me LMAO  not one... single.. thing
[19:49] <Smiley> ....
[19:49] <he2> it allways shows 'low battery'
[19:49] <Smiley> WHat would you guys say about :
[19:49] <Smiley> [19:47:24] Channel #irssi created Sun Aug  3 22:35:13 2003
[19:49] <Smiley> errrr
[19:49] <andre_pl> i have a failing drive and I dont know which it is.  syslog is showing a lot of lines like this: [  306.265400] ata3: hard resetting link
[19:49] <Sean93> arvut: don't do this until we get conformation from one of the pros but i think "kill -9 25329" should do it
[19:49] <Smiley> Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: org.lwjgl.LWJGLException: Error loading libGL.so.1: /usr/lib/nvidia-current/libGLcore.so.1: undefined symbol: _OFFSET_TABLE_ at org.lwjgl.opengl.Display.<clinit>(Display.java:138) << about this? :D
[19:49] <petan> goltoof: open user accounts -> click your account -> properties
[19:49] <andre_pl> how do I know what drive its referring to?
[19:49] <goltoof> petan,  i agree... i'll look at it later.. going to install maverick on another machine
[19:49] <petan> goltoof: ok
[19:49] <fadein> bleu_: you weren't able, by chance, to see any helpful error message, were you?
[19:50] <goltoof> petan,    thanks for your help
[19:50] <bleu_> fadein: it went way to fast
[19:50] <Sean93> arvut: are you root?
[19:50] <fadein> bleu_: well, I wasn't expecting it to launch gnome for you, but the fact that it even kicked you out of the recovery console is troubling
[19:50] <arvut> I am, yes
[19:51] <fadein> bleu_: did you install this from the LiveCD?  were you able to run Ubuntu off the CD before install?
[19:51] <arvut> killing it with sudo doesnt work
[19:51] <ZanQdo> how can I delete all partitions in an HD?
[19:51] <area51pilot> what is a good firewall GUI?
[19:51] <arvut> firestarter?
[19:51] <bleu_> fadein: i didnt try to run the cd, just fresh install
[19:51] <arvut> !info firestarter
[19:51] <talal> perhaps an easy question...im backing up a hosed computer via an ubuntu livecd for a friend. hes got a couple links on the desktop, .lnk files. any idea if theres a way in ubuntu to see what folders these link too?Vthanks
[19:51] <bleu_> fadein: but the fail safe session logs in fine
[19:51] <blakkheim> area51pilot: it's best to learn iptables
[19:52] <fadein> bleu_: I wonder if you've got some hardware issue.  It sounds to me like something is crashing
[19:52] <Sean93> arvut: then i think "sudo kill -9 25329" but i would like a second opinion in case i am wrong
[19:52] <arvut> what would the -9 do?
[19:52] <fadein> bleu_: for instance, gnome may be trying to start some 3D-compositing type stuff that your video card doesn't like
[19:52] <bleu_> fadein: what can I do then
[19:53] <fadein> bleu_: for now, not use gnome ;)
[19:53] <Smiley> no one? :|
[19:53] <noisewaterphd> arvut -9 is force
[19:53] <bleu_> fadein: lol, how do i pick something else?
[19:53] <fadein> bleu_: actually, better would be to check your X logs
[19:53] <arvut> thx
[19:53] <hey_joe> i just did a stock install of 10.04-1 server, and i can ping the machine from all other machines mac/linux/windows, however i can't ping any of those machines from the linux box.  i can SSH, HTTP etc to it, just cant ping it... ufw disable doesnt seem to do the trick? what else could be blockingicmp pings out from my linux box?
[19:53] <fadein> bleu_: see if the error is in there
[19:53] <area51pilot> blakkeim: im working on it...in ALL my free time!  :P  (these Windows users need to leave me alone!)
[19:53] <bleu_> fadein: where do i find that?
[19:53] <fadein> bleu_: those files are in /var/logs/Xorg*
[19:53] <fadein> bleu_: wait, let me check that for sure.
[19:54] <arvut> the problem I'm having is that somehow, aptitude stopped unpacking libasound2 and I had to kill it
[19:54] <talal> anyone? :) any way to find .lnk paths in ubuntu?
[19:54] <hey_joe> arvut: dpkg-reconfigure ?
[19:54] <fadein> bleu_: /var/log/Xorg.0.log is probably the file you want to peek at
[19:54] <arvut> now I cant update cause there is a lock on some file that the update programs need to use
[19:54] <fadein> bleu_: you'll be looking for some lines that have (EE) near the beginning, as they indicate errors that the X server recieved
[19:55] <bleu_> fadein: ok will go check
[19:55] <area51pilot> any good info on IPTABLES that someone can point me to?
[19:56] <arvut> hey_joe: says libasound2 is broken or not fully installed, I know it's the 2nd option
[19:56] <area51pilot> using them...  :P
[19:56] <Sean93> arvut: im not sure, i think it forces it. i was told when i had a program that wouldn't close you try, kill, then kill -1, then kill -2, and if those still havn't killed it you try kill -9.
[19:56] <arvut> try a scroogle search area51pilot
[19:56] <hey_joe> arvut: cant help ya, sry
[19:56] <erUSUL> !iptables
[19:57] <arvut> k, thx for trying
[19:57] <Max_Goerki> hey guys, how can i run following command on startup "cd /root/apache-solr-1.4.0/example/ && java -jar start.jar"? it's for my server
[19:57] <area51pilot> figured I'd ask the moreknowledgable instead of wandering aimlessly
[19:57] <Max_Goerki> how is the file called where i can put that stuff in? sth with local?
[19:57] <arvut> area51pilot: try "man iptables" ought to be some fun reading in it ;)
[19:57] <BRRBB> can anyone help with tor/vidalia/firefox/privoxy?
[19:57] <area51pilot> thx erUSUL
[19:57] <area51pilot> arvut:  thx :D
[19:58] <area51pilot> I keep forgetting the MAN pages
[19:58] <area51pilot> :P
[19:58] <area51pilot> they are about as exciting to read as the Federal Aviation Regulations ....  (what a sleeper!)
[19:58] <Max_Goerki> exit
[20:00] <Sean93> arvut: I'm googling around around trying to find how to fix it, two head are better than one :P
[20:00] <Sean93> heads*
[20:00] <arvut> yeah, me too
[20:01] <metaphaze> Can anyone help me mount a NTFS RAID Volume?
[20:01] <metaphaze> I ran dmraid I show the disks and raid volume in /dev/mapper
[20:01] <Sean93> arvut: try "sudo apt-get install libasound2" and post the output into a pastebin
[20:02] <lwizardl> hello
[20:02] <bleu_> fadein: the only line that fails is one that tires to open a dir that doesnt exist
[20:02] <lwizardl> I was wondering how I could get a single linux computer to use upto 16 monitor displays without overloading the machine with like 8 video cards
[20:03] <bleu_> fadein: how can i get my nic to work in safe mode so i can try and dl the updates
[20:03] <vbwe> how can i change the default grud list i want that it starts windows after 10 secs
[20:03] <metaphaze> lwizardl, I can't help, but that sounds like fun :D
[20:03] <Herpaderp> Hello. I have been using my ext. hdd for a year or two now, but this just happened. It is named 'Elements' and now when it connects it appears as 'Elements_', while there is an entry for 'Elements' that is unreadable in my /media folder. How do I fix this issue?
[20:04] <fadein> bleu_: what directory is it trying to read?  did you try to create that directory to see if that appeases it?
[20:04] <lwizardl> metaphaze, yeah its a design i want for my linux cctv setup
[20:04] <fadein> bleu_: about your 2nd question - I don't know what you're talking about... sorry
[20:04] <bleu_> fadein: var/pd0 or something
[20:04] <vbwe> can someone help me how i can change the grud list
[20:04] <fadein> bleu_: yeah, I don't have one of those dirs... weird
[20:04] <bleu_> fadein: my network card, get it to work in safe mode desktop
[20:05] <Sean93> arvut: did you try the command?
[20:05] <fadein> bleu_: oh.  It should be working even now.
[20:05] <metaphaze> haha
[20:05] <metaphaze> it worked got it mounted
[20:05] <CaneToad> does anybody know how to use skype with a usb phone on ubuntu with pulse audio
[20:05] <metaphaze> not the way I wanted to but it worked
[20:05] <bleu_> fadein: it shows the device but it doesnt seem to connect
[20:05] <fadein> bleu_: Actually, you may want to sudo apt-get install fluxbox, or blackbox, just to get a working desktop in the meantime
[20:05] <Jordan_U> vbwe: Add something like GRUB_DEFAULT="Windows Vista (loader) (on /dev/sda4)" to /etc/default/grub, change the timeout to what you want in the same file, then run "sudo update-grub".
[20:06] <bleu_> fadein: dont i need internet to get them?
[20:06] <fadein> bleu_: You are correct.  I understand now.
[20:06] <burgua> hi all!

[20:08] <vbwe> i deleted my boot loader partition how can if fix this
[20:08] <GG_> Jordan_U: Ok thx
[20:09] <Jordan_U> vbwe: You deleted the windows boot partition (also called the "system" partititon) or Ubuntu's?

[20:10] <Jordan_U> vbwe: Can you run boot info script as explained here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and pastebin the RESULTS.txt?
[20:10] <adrian15> vbwe: You can just reinstall Windows boot loader. Either use a howto for this or SG1D Fix Boot of Windows option.
[20:10] <vbwe> i cant go into
[20:10] <vbwe> windows
[20:10] <adrian15> vbwe: Unless you are using Ubuntu, are you ?

[20:11] <vbwe> i cant get into ubuntu or windows Jordan_U
[20:11] <vbwe> grub error
[20:11] <CaneToad> does anybody know how to use skype with a usb phone on ubuntu with pulse audio?
[20:11] <Jordan_U> vbwe: Can you boot from a LiveCD?
[20:12] <lock> vbwe: reinstall ubuntu and hopefully grub will pick up the widdows install as well
[20:12] <vbwe> reinstall ubuntu on which partition
[20:12] <adrian15> vbwe: These partitions that you have deleted where between the Windows partition and the Linux partition, isn't it ?
[20:12] <trimatrix> yo! whats the irc channel for fedora?
[20:12] <lock> lol, what are you doing runnin round willy nilly deleting partitions and whatnot??
[20:13] <Jordan_U> trimatrix: #fedora
[20:13] <area51pilot> whats the keyboard command to quit current process and return to the prompt in terminal?
[20:13] <robin0800> vbwe: if you hold shift at start you can get to recovery use that to reinstall grub
[20:13] <fadein> area51pilot: Ctrl-C
[20:13] <vbwe> shift
[20:13] <socram> installed openssl, now trying to compile pound, but i get "Missing OpenSSL (-lcrypto) - abortedMissing OpenSSL (-lcrypto) - aborted" Any ideas?
[20:13] <vbwe> at start of pc?
[20:13] <adrian15> area51pilot: To quit the process in the background or to kill it ?
[20:13] <StrangeCharm> what packages do i need to share files to share files with a windows machine via an ethernet patch cable? i've gone to system>sharing>personal file sharing, but 'this feature cannot be enabled because the required packages are not installed on your system'
[20:14] <trimatrix> thanks! by the way anybody know any good sources to add to the ubuntu software store?
[20:14] <lock> area51pilot: ctrl+C
[20:14] <vbwe> grub rescue
[20:14] <vbwe> what do i need to type
[20:14] <sotos> join #ubuntu
[20:14] <adrian15> StrangeCharm: Probably samba packages
[20:14] <area51pilot> thx guys
[20:14] <lock> sure thing
[20:14] <trimatrix> kk
[20:14] <vbwe> can i do some recovery in grub rescue ????
[20:15] <lock> vbwe: have you even tried using google for any of these questions?
[20:15] <StrangeCharm> adrian15, nope, installing samba doesn't help
[20:16] <vbwe> yes i googled
[20:16] <vbwe> but cant fix problem
[20:16] <lock> hmmm
[20:16] <lock> ...did u back up ur data before deleting partitions?
[20:16] <sylvar> How very weird.  When I connect to the work VPN, I can no longer get to Gmail... but other Google services (docs, calendar) work fine.  This appears to affect Chrome and Firefox, so I'm guessing it's happening below the app level.
[20:16] <vbwe> i deleted the boot partitions in windows, rbooted and no boot anymore
[20:16] <vbwe> no i didnt
[20:17] <vbwe> yea i have different hdd
[20:17] <lock> why would you delete the boot partitions?
[20:17] <adrian15> vbwe: You mean the Windows 7' boot partition ?
[20:17] <root> hi
[20:17] <lock> hola
[20:18] <vbwe> adrian15
[20:18] <vbwe> yes
[20:18] <vbwe> i installed ubuntu
[20:18] <enyc> [ok]
[20:18] <adrian15> vbwe: If you had deleted Windows 7' boot partition data and not the partition itself you might had no problem at all. Now partition numbers maybe have changed and that might be the problem
[20:18] <Jordan_U> vbwe: Can you boot a liveCD and run boot info script as explained here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and pastebin the RESULTS.txt?
[20:18] <arvut> http://pastebin.com/qaxGqmcW
[20:18] <vbwe> then i got a L partition where ubuntu is located with 19 gig also a 20 gb partition was created and a 954 mb
[20:18] <sotos> I have an AThlon 64bit system with Ubuntu 10.10 but I can't play DVD's
[20:18] <vbwe> i deleted those 20 and 954
[20:18] <adrian15> vbwe: So you only want to reinstall grub. I ask myself if you can fix it without running update-grub
[20:19] <vbwe> liveCD?
[20:19] <vbwe> yes
[20:19] <lock> oh dear
[20:19] <robin0800> vbwe: or shift at start
[20:19] <adrian15> vbwe: Try to write your messages in only one line please.
[20:19] <vbwe> shit at pc start?

[20:20] <wasutton3-Lab> my laptop died earlier this afternoon and i am looking for a replacement. I would like the Asus UL80JT, but i am wary of the optimus switching graphics. Does anyone have any recommendations?
[20:22] <ninjai> guys i have an interesting issue im trying to get around.  I'm at work, my torrent client (transmission) is running at home.  I need to change some settings in trasmission.  I've tries X11 forwarding with SSH to launch transmission, but it wont let me relaunch it and I do not wish to close and reopen it.  Is there any way I can connect to that running instance of transmission?
[20:22] <blakkheim> ninjai: no
[20:23] <arvut> can you make sense of this? http://pastebin.com/qaxGqmcW
[20:23] <zehnfragezeichen> http://i56.tinypic.com/os9092.png first time installing Ubuntu. This is a Windows XP computer. I'd like to install onto my 320GB SATA drive. I'd like to keep my Windows installations on this drive intact, but it's no big deal if I lose them. I don't have a viable method of data backup, I have an unformatted 30GB partition and 169GB of unpartitioned space. I'm really nervous about this and...
[20:23] <zehnfragezeichen> ...I'd like for someone to walk me through this. (pic related; it's the step I am currently on.)
[20:24] <blakkheim> "pic related" lol
[20:24] <Jordan_U> ninjai: Yes, with the transmission-remote command.
[20:24] <arvut> zehnfragezeichen: why be nervous? it wont bite you
[20:25] <arvut> ubuntu is easy to install in graphics mode
[20:25] <zehnfragezeichen> because the last time I tried installing I ended up totally screwing everything up, and that was last year.
[20:25] <ninjai> Jordan_U: I have no transmission-remote command
[20:25] <samosa> is this what you donwload if our wifi isn't working? http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/wifi-radar ...idk which one to download tho.
[20:26] <blakkheim> samosa: that package doesn't magically make wifi work, no
[20:26] <Guest16419> How do I get all MACs on the specified interface of my ProCurve 2626 ?
[20:26] <Jordan_U> ninjai: sudo apt-get install transmission-cli
[20:26] <ninjai> Jordan_U: i am doing that right now actually.  does that interface directly with the running GUI one or is it a separate instance?
[20:27] <bindi> zehnfragezeichen: just create a partition on that 169GB free space
[20:27] <christoph_> i want to adapt the boot loader menu under ubuntu 10.10 but i do not finde the menu.lst file in the boot/grub directory
[20:27] <bamed> arvut: does 'lsof' show the dpkg directory currently open?
[20:27] <bindi> !grub.cfg
[20:27] <bindi> hmph
[20:27] <bindi> !grub2
[20:27] <user> hi
[20:27] <ninjai> nevermind jordan_u, I believe it does
[20:28] <vieuxmike> hi, I have a problem on my laptop since I moved from 10.04 to 10.10
[20:28] <samosa> pls ubuntu...make wifi work, thats all i ask, how am i meant to use an OS without wifi? wire? :(
[20:28] <vieuxmike> when I boot i have message "no screen found" in Xorg.0.log
[20:28] <joshua__> which ubuntu do u use
[20:29] <samosa> ubuntu 10.4
[20:29] <joshua__> which version do u use and laptop model
[20:29] <samosa> 32bit
[20:29] <joshua__> cause ubuntu support many drivers for wifi
[20:29] <wasutton3-Lab> does anyone know of a laptop which has nvidia optimus (or a working) switching graphics working?
[20:30] <samosa> hmm, its a lenovo
[20:30] <zehnfragezeichen> ok. thanks.
[20:31] <rigved> i have ubuntu 10.04. how do i make grub2 load into recovery mode by default (instead of loading into the normal mode)?
[20:32] <Bink_> hey, is anyone here familiar with burg? (boot loader based on grub)
[20:32] <Jordan_U> Bink_: BURG is not supported here.
[20:33] <guntbert> Bink_: I don't think it is supported here - but I may err
[20:33] <Bink_> Jordan_U, well that's not very nice :|
[20:33] <Bink_> er well, kind of sick with working on it anyways.. guess i'll do with the ugly grub.
[20:33] <anadon> how do I switch to the programming channel?
[20:34] <rigved> Bink_: it's actually because ubuntu does not use burg by default
[20:34] <rigved> anadon: are you using empathy?
[20:34] <anadon> yup
[20:34] <LogicallyDashing> I have two mice; one is a trackball. I would like to configure the trackball so that it scrolls the document, like the ball in Apple's Mighty Mouse, letting the regular mouse act as normal. How do I do this?
[20:34] <Jordan_U> Bink_: You can use themes with grub2, and could before BURG existed.
[20:34] <anadon> I also have xchat, not not on it
[20:35] <rigved> anadon: click on room > join
[20:35] <Bink_> Jordan_U, the theme support on grub2 is quite poor.. and other people seem to have no problem with burg
[20:35] <rigved> anadon: then type ##programming
[20:35] <Jordan_U> Bink_: http://apebox.org/wordpress/linux/261/
[20:35] <anadon> can't find anything labeled room
[20:35] <Bink_> rigved, as i said, others seem to have no problem with it
[20:36] <Jordan_U> Bink_: BURG is a one person fork of GRUB2, and so it can't reasonably be included or supported by Ubuntu.
[20:36] <rigved> i have ubuntu 10.04. how do i make grub2 load into recovery mode by default (instead of loading into the normal mode)?
[20:37] <Bink_> Jordan_U, oh.. and this theme supports grub2? why did none of my google bring this article up? :|
[20:37] <y-pwn> hey guys
[20:37] <Bink_> Jordan_U, oh.. it's gfxmenu? i was sure it was dropped in grub2.. that is, i haven't seen any articles about it
[20:37] <Jordan_U> Bink_: Yes, this theme is made for GRUB2.
[20:38] <samosa> joshua: its a Lenovo IdeaPad U330
[20:38] <SnowmanX11> I have problem since I updated (10.10) today: the sound disappears after a while when I play movies (VLC, but the others do as well)
[20:38] <Bink_> Jordan_U, well, thanks a lot : D
[20:38] <y-pwn> i was using Ubuntu for some time, and it's good for my PC, but i have a problem. Mounted videos with Pitivi (Theora Video Codec) cannot be read with YouTube
[20:38] <SnowmanX11> Restricted extras are there
[20:38] <Pindakaas> doeanyone know a good tutorial to MySQL and on how to combine them with for example apache? (i mean the MySQL commands in Ubuntu Server 10.04). I don have a lot of experience and would like an absolute beginner tutorial. It may also be a english, dutch, german,  spanish or french book i have to buy
[20:38] <Jordan_U> Bink_: You're welcome.
[20:38] <y-pwn> I hate loading my XP VM and starting Windows Movie Maker
[20:39] <y-pwn> I want to mount my videos in Ubuntu so they will upload normally on YouTube
[20:39] <y-pwn> is that possible?
[20:39] <Jordan_U> y-pwn: What happens when you try to upload the video to youtube?
[20:39] <SnowmanX11> It should be a codec or pulse
[20:39] <y-pwn> Jordan_U: well, it uploads, but the video is nothing more than a green screen
[20:40] <y-pwn> codec fail IIRC
[20:40] <rigved> !mysql | Pindakaas
[20:40] <vbwe> deleted wrong partition cant get grub boot screen anymore
[20:40] <vbwe> only got grub rescue do i need to format pc now ?
[20:41] <y-pwn> and yes, there are other codecs, but I don't know if they work
[20:41] <y-pwn> so is Pitivi compatible with YouTube some way?
[20:41] <SnowmanX11> vbwe: if it was a root than zes
[20:41] <y-pwn> like iMovie and WMM
[20:41] <SnowmanX11> yes
[20:41] <Pindakaas> @ rigved  > Does anyone  know if Perl/Python is diffucult to learn when you can write XML/XHTML/HTML/CSS/Javascript ?
[20:42] <trimatrix> it can or there are some dericitives that allows you to do all of that with python
[20:42] <Pindakaas> Thank you very much for the info. Rigved! it is apreciated
[20:42] <trimatrix> python is easy to learn as for parl i don't know i only learned python
[20:42] <kubanc> how do i use cksum coomand?
[20:42] <samosa> anyone got wireless working on Lenovo IdeaPad U330 with ubuntu 10.04 32bit?
[20:43] <alinon> anyone here try anarchy online in wine?  seems to run perfect, but for some reason all of the sliders in the preferences are invisible, even the attack/defense slider is gone
[20:43] <root>  Buonasera a tutti c'è qualcuno che può dirmi il comando per ibernare ubuntu?
[20:43] <Pindakaas> thank you trimatrix > Do you know python and PHP? if yes what is easier to begin with?
[20:43] <alinon> i've already tried going to winehq, but got no response
[20:43] <rigved> Pindakaas: np
[20:43] <Pindakaas> thank you, trimatrix!
[20:43] <y-pwn> is there any forum to ask? :P

[20:44] <sasav> Hi, I am developing QT application using OpenGl and I am getting following message: "do_wait: drmWaitVBlank returned -1" (more: http://paste.ubuntu.com/526564/). Is this a bug or I should adjust vblank_mode?
[20:44] <trimatrix> PHP is more of a server side language used with webservers  while python is more for programming python is one of the easiest computer languages in the world to learn
[20:44] <bazhang> Guest46269, #ubuntu-it please
[20:44] <samosa> anyone one got wireless working on their laptop ? o.o
[20:44] <alinon> seems as though unless I find someone that plays, it's going to be nearly impossible to fix
[20:44] <trimatrix> yeah?
[20:45] <trimatrix> sasav: i got my wireless working on my netbook?
[20:45] <samosa> how man
[20:46] <Pindakaas> thank you very much  trimatrix. I am more interested in servers so i will try to learn  PHP then. (Btw, i just started ubuntu server 10.04 3 weeks ago and what a great community support (Y))
[20:46] <vbwe> i deleted my grub partition and linux so i cant start up right now can i do a fix in try ubuntu with gparted?
[20:46] <trimatrix> by using network utilites?
[20:46] <trimatrix> cool cool good luck with it!
[20:46] <vbwe> i deleted my grub partition and linux so i cant start up right now can i do a fix in try ubuntu with gparted???
[20:46] <adrian15> vbwe: :)
[20:46] <samosa> they dont work for me, show nothing, turning on hard wifi switch on/off also does nothing, running out of ideas, also losing hope.
[20:47] <Pindakaas> have a nice weekend everyone!
[20:47] <samosa> u 2!
[20:47] <harrymuffin> Wondering if anyone has run into this. I'm trying to do a "do-release-upgrade" from An upgrade from 'intrepid' to 'karmic' is not supported with this tool. I realize you can't go from 8.10 to 10.04, but I'd like to go from intrepid to jaunty
[20:47] <adrian15> vbwe: So you want to recover the linux partiton ? You should use gpart then. You can find it at system rescue cd if I remember ok
[20:47] <trimatrix> back up and reinstall ubuntu it has happened to me before but my default language was spanish and i couldnt read the error
[20:47] <vbwe> adrian15 system rescue cd???
[20:47] <harrymuffin> is there another way other than do-release-upgrade?
[20:47] <harrymuffin> this is on a pretty busy production server
[20:47] <adrian15> vbwe: If the partitions have not been modified you can also recover windows 7 boot partition with gpart
[20:48] <harrymuffin> that is about 4,000 miles away from me
[20:48] <vbwe> how
[20:48] <adrian15> vbwe: Yes, system rescue cd, I suppose you might also find the tool in ubuntu rescue remix
[20:48] <vbwe> gpart in try ubuntu wont start
[20:48] <adrian15> vbwe: It's a command line tool though
[20:48] <harrymuffin> oh him.. sorry
[20:48] <vbwe> im in ubuntu try
[20:48] <vbwe> adrian
[20:48] <adrian15> vbwe: If you are using an ubuntu live cd you will have to install a package that contains gpart, probably gpart
[20:49] <vbwe> no i have an usb
[20:49] <vbwe> i booted from usb
[20:49] <samosa> its wierd lol, i could've sworn wifi worked with ubuntu live-cd, it worked, but when installed does not at all.
[20:49] <adrian15> vbwe: An Ubuntu live usb is ok too
[20:49] <vbwe> ok do i get in system rescue
[20:49] <vbwe> ?
[20:49] <samosa> right now im using my phone to tether wifi internet connection
[20:49] <adrian15> vbwe: No, no, the ubuntu live usb is ok. In a console type apt-get install gpart
[20:50] <vbwe> terminal ?
[20:50] <adrian15> vbwe: With the sudo command of course: sudo apt-get install gpart . Then you will have to use sudo gpart.
[20:50] <acstewart> Anyone else having issues with apt-get in Intrepid?  Shows 404s, and it looks like archive.ubuntu.com is missing intrepid package info.
[20:50] <adrian15> vbwe: Terminal. Console. Command line.
[20:50] <harrymuffin> yes acstewart
[20:50] <harrymuffin> one sec
[20:50] <harrymuffin> I dealt with it the other day
[20:50] <blakkheim> !intrepid | acstewart
[20:50] <acstewart> harrymuffin: cool.
[20:50] <vbwe> package is not avaible
[20:50] <blakkheim> acstewart: it is not supported anymore
[20:50] <vbwe> package gpart is not avaible
[20:51] <vbwe> package 'gpart' has no installation candidate
[20:51] <blakkheim> vbwe: gparted
[20:51] <harrymuffin> acstewart: change your /etc/apt/sources-list to use this server/format: deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid-backports main restricted universe multiverse
[20:51] <vbwe> gparted is already the newest version
[20:51] <harrymuffin> mutagen :P
[20:51] <adrian15> vbwe: Ignore blakkheim's gparted recommendation. You need gpart. I will try to search for the ubuntu repository where it is, maybe universe
[20:52] <y-pwn> my favorite release after 10.10 and 10.04 is hardy heron
[20:52] <trimatrix> whats the difference between hardy and gusty?
[20:52] <adrian15> vbwe: You need to enable the universe repository. There are supposed to be several easy howtos on how to do that in ubuntu. After that sudo apt-get install part.  And then sudo gpart .
[20:53] <acstewart> harrymuffin: Thanks, that'll help :)
[20:53] <vbwe> how do i enable it?
[20:53] <odt> is there an alternative for wicd for managing wireless without running X?
[20:53] <adrian15> !add-repository
[20:54] <blakkheim> odt: wicd has an ncurses interface that doesn't need X
[20:54] <odt> but it uses python
[20:54] <odt> and that's too much memory on my old laptop
[20:54] <vbwe> ok
[20:54] <adrian15> vbwe: Google for add ubuntu repository
[20:55] <vbwe> what do i need to add
[20:57] <vbwe> try doesnt have software sources
[20:57] <adrian15> vbwe:
[20:57] <ianm_> in 10.04 the synaptics touchpad Y cursor speed is much higher than X when using multiple screens, it's as if the cursor moves a % of the total screen X/Y, instead of a number of pixels, is this fixed in 10.10?
[20:57] <kv102t> anyone got a EasyCAP AV USB2.0 working ??
[20:58] <adrian15> vbwe: (Sorry). Try something like gksudo /etc/apt/sources.list and try comment an universe line or something like this
[20:58] <adrian15> vbwe: It might be even easier than using Synaptic or Software Sources I suppose
[20:58] <ianm_> er I mean X movement much faster than Y, when the screens are side by side
[20:58] <badpenguin86> My mouse wheel scrolls too much. How do I change that?
[20:59] <vbwe> adrian15
[20:59] <vbwe> i did that
[20:59] <vbwe> and now ?
[21:00] <adrian15> vbwe: So now you do: sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install gpart ; sudo gpart

[21:09] <vbwe> soryr gpart
[21:09] <vbwe> but i cant use gpart!
[21:10] <Belial`> n0a1ias, use the fglrx driver. or the open source driver.
[21:10] <vbwe> i can use disk utility though
[21:10] <rojanu> I have deleted the account and re-created but still the same. any ideas?
[21:10] <vbwe> oke yea

[21:10] <vbwe> adrian15
[21:10] <adrian15> vbwe: Maybe you  can install ubuntu rescue remix into an usb
[21:11] <adrian15> vbwe: Just tell  gpart to recover your partitions then
[21:11] <Belial`> n0a1ias, system, administration, additional drivers. if fglrx isn't listed there, then ati's proprietary linux driver doesn't support your card anymore. in which case you're already using the open source radeon drivers.
[21:11] <vbwe> its disk utlity
[21:11] <vbwe> not gpart
[21:11] <vbwe> i cant start gpart
[21:12] <vbwe> i need the enable the component called universe
[21:12] <adrian15> vbwe: I do not know what it is disk utility. Explain to Jordan_U he will explain to me tomorrow or so... And I must go!
[21:12] <vbwe> ok
[21:12] <n0a1ias> Belial' i don't see any drivers, but i have a new card by them, so it should be supported

[21:13] <Belial`> n0a1ias, sudo apt-get install fglrx
[21:13] <kiplem_al> If i install google chrome from it's official site from deb package it will update itself automatically with my update manager of ubuntu ?

[21:17] <Kyle__> litropy: Adjust the monitor settings.  On my netbook it defaults to mirrored as well.  Just tell it it's a second monitor, and choose the right one from the drop-down.
[21:17] <rojanu> vbwe: Could you be more specific, what partition are your OSs on
[21:17] <ZanQdo> rojanu: ok is that a command line tool?

[21:17] <rojanu> ZanQdo: no it is GUI
