[19:38] <grawity> tbrock: I think there's a "Disk Utility" in menus. If not, install gparted.
[19:38] <haresh> how do i go to the upgrade manager settting mazda01
[19:39] <ortsvorsteher> `mOOse`, youre welcome
[19:39] <dsl_> guntbert
[19:39] <jayson> Is it possabe for Ubuntu for fry a laptop power inverter for the screen
[19:39] <tbrock> grawity: need a command line version
[19:39] <bleepbloop> `mOOse`: a windows install of unetbootin? yes
[19:39] <tbrock> this is on a server
[19:39] <mazda01> haresh, you go to system, administration, update manager
[19:39] <sentabrina> and which fileystem to use udner /BOOT???
[19:39] <jayson> say if it were running the screen at the wrong refresh rate
[19:39] <grawity> tbrock: in that case, either "parted" or "cfdisk" for partitioning. And "mkfs.ext4" for creating the filesystem (format)
[19:40] <sentabrina> i use ext4.. and it is bad somebody told me
[19:40] <dsl_> guntbert: sorry! if i try to change password i get 'couldn't change keyring password'  a keyring with that na,e does not exist
[19:40] <guntbert> dsl_: yes?
[19:40] <dsl_> *name
[19:40] <haresh> then what do i heve to set it to ??
[19:40] <jayson> I just install ubuntu 9.10 on a fairly new laptop and within 5 min my screen died
[19:40] <`mOOse`> bleepbloop:  have you tried the installer on pendrive? I prefer that one - it's a 2 step process but it's stable and predictable and pretty idiot proof
[19:40] <xfact> vyyjjyjyyyyjjyyjjyjjyyyjjyyyjjyyyjjyyyjjyyyjjyyyjjyyyjjyyyjjyyyjjyyyjj
[19:40] <`mOOse`> http://www.pendrivelinux.com/create-a-ubuntu-9-10-live-usb-in-windows/
[19:40] <`mOOse`> try that one ^
[19:40] <FloodBot4> `mOOse`: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:41] <`mOOse`> first one installs the live cd on the flash drive, the 2nd one makes the casper-rw
[19:41] <`mOOse`> and makes it persistent
[19:41] <guntbert> dsl_: never seen that before - are you in the "guest login"?
[19:41] <`mOOse`> so you can write to it
[19:41] <haresh> mazda01,  it says my system is up to date
[19:41] <mota_> qucik question how do you save on pico ?
[19:41] <mota_> *quick
[19:41] <tbrock> so how do i run cfdisk for a disk that is connected via usb
[19:41] <bleepbloop> `mOOse`: I actually tried pendrive initially and it gave me the same issue im experiencing with unetbootin
[19:42] <grawity> guntbert: it shouldn't matter; if he sees the keyring and can right-click on it, the keyring must exist :|
[19:42] <maritz> hi. i have a problem with my microphone under ubuntu. when i set the microphone volume in the mixer to high (unmute), i can hear myself. but i cannot get my microphone to work in other applications. (and gnome-sound-recorder doesn't even know any input devices)
[19:42] <guideX> crap my only problem with this is that I am fixing a laptop for a friend, when I give it back, and ubuntu tries to update grub, it will be back to not booting
[19:42] <`mOOse`> oh...what issue bleepbloop?
[19:42] <dsl_> guntbert: its a fresh install of netbook remix. i have my admin account and then set up a desktop type user to auto login
[19:42] <guideX> Is it safe to turn off ubuntu updates to prevent this problem?
[19:42] <haresh> mazda01,  it says my system is up to date
[19:42] <grawity> tbrock: cfdisk <device-file-name-of-that-disk> (for example, /dev/sde)
[19:42] <hamzaatova2> why does the microphone input volume lowering itself automatically?
[19:42] <guntbert> grawity: So I thought too - but what do we tell dsl_ now?
[19:42] <donvito-> if i want in motd to shows the uptime of pc what do i need to type
[19:43] <tbrock> says ea
[19:43] <donvito-> what kind of command let someone help me
[19:43] <grawity> tbrock: If you don't know the device name, 'dmesg | tail' might contain it...
[19:43] <tbrock> FATAL ERROR: Bad primary partition 0: Partition ends in the final partial cylin
[19:43] <aliquerer> is there any apps to learn driving (cars)
[19:43] <bleepbloop> `mOOse`: the netbook will give me the start up screen from the USB stick an everything, but whenever I try to boot into UNR from the USB stick, it goes through some stuff but always gets stuck on a spinning grey circle
[19:43] <grawity> tbrock: uh. What command did you just use?
[19:43] <tbrock> it's sdb
[19:43] <tbrock> sudo cfdisk /dev/sdb
[19:43] <mazda01> haresh, and what setting do you have for release upgrade
[19:43] <guntbert> dsl_: ahh - could be you must allow your second account to access the network (look at the properties)
[19:43] <dsl_> ok i rebooted, the first dialog i get now is for wireless... i entered the admin password now it asks 'choose password for default keyring' i take it i kleave it blasnk?
[19:44] <tbrock> thats what i used
[19:44] <dsl_> *blank
[19:44] <haresh> there is no setting there mazda01
[19:44] <bleepbloop> `mOOse`: I would just install the whole thing but I'm worried that that's a sign that there's an issue with the stuff on the stick
[19:44] <grawity> dsl_: ...hm. Yeah, leave the password blank.
[19:44] <`mOOse`> have you tried installing the desktop version instead?
[19:44] <donvito-> if i want in motd to shows the uptime of pc what do i need to type
[19:44] <donvito-> what kind of command let someone help me
[19:44] <tbrock> grawity: any ideas
[19:44] <guntbert> dsl_: would be a good idea :-)
[19:44] <bleepbloop> `mOOse`: would the desktop vesion not work with the netbook though?
[19:44] <grawity> tbrock: And it was already partitioned?
[19:45] <mazda01> haresh, go back and read what i all wrote. it's there
[19:45] <tbrock> gues it came this way
[19:45] <`mOOse`> yes it would work
[19:45] <tbrock> it's a western digital piece of crap
[19:45] <tbrock> but i just got it
[19:45] <tbrock> mybook 1.5tb
[19:45] <tbrock> so i'm trying to set it up
[19:45] <bleepbloop> `mOOse`: would I use the netinstall or a live install?
[19:45] <`mOOse`> definitely the LIVE cd bllep
[19:46] <`mOOse`> bleep - sorry ;-)
[19:46] <haresh> when i open the update manager i onli see check \, install update and close mazda01
[19:46] <Bobsama> how do i mount a drive in the terminal?
[19:46] <bleepbloop> `mOOse`: haha its fine
[19:46] <Bobsama> or by using the terminal
[19:47] <guntbert> !mount | Bobsama
[19:47] <bleepbloop> `mOOse`: wouldnt I have to change a bunch of stuff around in the desktop version though for it to work well on my netbook?
[19:47] <maritz> hi. i have a problem with my microphone under ubuntu. when i set the microphone volume in the mixer to high (unmute), i can hear myself. but i cannot get my microphone to work in other applications. (and gnome-sound-recorder doesn't even know any input devices)
[19:47] <`mOOse`> tbh I don't think so bleep - there's a list of differences between the 2 - I just can't lay my hands on the url at the moment - you should be able to find it though...
[19:48] <Bobsama> ok thanks, ubottu
[19:49] <dsl_> guntbert: thank you, seems to be working now... i need to read up on the keyring thing!
[19:49] <dsl_> grawity: thanks also ;)
[19:49] <guntbert> Bobsama: the text from ubottu wasn't very helpful - shall we walk through one example?
[19:50] <guntbert> dsl_: nice it works now
[19:50] <enthdegree> Hoi, does anyone know how to run bash, but make it not show the 'user@machine:1 thing?
[19:50] <Bobsama> no
[19:50] <Bobsama> i used the link
[19:50] <maritz> hi. i have a problem with my microphone under ubuntu. when i set the microphone volume in the mixer to high (unmute), i can hear myself. but i cannot get my microphone to work in other applications. (and gnome-sound-recorder doesn't even know any input devices)
[19:50] <haresh> how ?
[19:50] <bobo1on1> maritz, set the volume for recording, not playback
[19:51] <Bobsama> guntbert: i used the link
[19:51] <`mOOse`> I wish I could remember the repository for extras...sigh
[19:51] <qdb> solved , tried to set one to complain mode and other error now
[19:51] <ranjan> how to share document betwen mac computer and ubuntu
[19:51] <guntbert> Bobsama: good - not everyone is happy with that :-)
[19:51] <mazda01> haresh, you don't see settings at the bottom left corner? if not, then go to Synaptic, then within settings, then repositories, then updates tab. make sure it says normal releases at the bottom and not "never" or "long term support""
[19:51] <Bobsama> guntbert: I just needed to see correct command and context.
[19:51] <maritz> bobo1on1: i have already set every audio setting i could to max. nothing :(
[19:51] <guntbert> `mOOse`: the restricted-extras ?
[19:51] <`mOOse`> yes
[19:51] <`mOOse`> the one with rar, etc
[19:52] <bobo1on1> then I don't know
[19:52] <mazda01> i just accidentally force quit my desktop. how do i restart it? anyone? i know it's a gconf command but Im not sure which one. i need to remove the force quit icon in my cairo-dock! :-)
[19:52] <ranjan> how to share document  mac computer and ubuntu
[19:52] <guntbert> Bobsama: in that case man mount will give you the fastest answers
[19:52] <mazda01> so all my icons are gone from the desktop as well as conky. i know how to restart conky but not desktop icons
[19:52] <Bobsama> yeah, though now im just wondering why unetbootin is stuck at 4% :P
[19:52] <Bobsama> nvm just flew
[19:53] <guntbert> !info ubuntu-restricted-extras | `mOOse`
[19:53] <`mOOse`> it's making your casper, which takes a buncha time

[19:53] <guntbert> `mOOse`: np
[19:53] <Bobsama> how does ubuntu 9.10 like being installed on a 4gb ssd?
[19:54] <CShadowRun> Bobsama: 4GB is the recommended disk space, so it should be fine.
[19:54] <haresh> ok once done that then open update manafger isit mazda01
[19:54] <mazda01> haresh, yes
[19:54] <Bobsama> ok
[19:54] <Bobsama> good--this is the only smart ssd i got
[19:55] <CShadowRun> :)
[19:55] <Bobsama> ]bbl
[19:55] <Bobsama> or hopefully not at all :P thanks everyone
[19:55] <Joe_CoT> Is there anyway to replicate what happens when you use the file manager to mount/unmount a drive, from the shell? I don't just mean using mount/umount
[19:55] <haresh> mazda01,  it still says your system is up to date
[19:55] <haresh> mazda01,  it still says your system is up to date what shall i do  ?
[19:56] <xfact> abnybody here using Ubuntu 8.04 LTS?
[19:57] <mazda01> haresh, under the System pulldown, what does it say when you click on About Ubuntu?

[19:57] <domnukalu> Ca someone please tell me why I don't have a xorg.conf file? I am trying to config my graphics card (ATI Radeon Xpress 200M) with the help provided at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver . And after everything looked good, the xorg.conf file is nowhere to be found. PLEASE HELP! Thanks.
[19:57] <poseidon> gnome-look seems to be cluttered with lots of ugly themes
[19:58] <xfact> now which version of ubuntu people most use?
[19:58] <OerHeks> domnukalu xorg.conf is no longer used, with auto detection
[19:58] <IdleOne> domnukalu: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[19:59] <cabrey> i now have dual monitors, is there any type of calibration software i can use to make the colors somewhat alike?
[19:59] <sda_> Hi everyone!
[19:59] <maxo> hi, I've just transferred some files across to a server using rsync. I can access the files on the remote server using samba but they're all read-only and I can't set them to read-write. I've tried using nautilus and chmod -R 777, but although I don't get any error messages, they're still read-only. What should I do?
[19:59] <xfact>  now which version of ubuntu people most use?
[19:59] <domnukalu> IdleOne, it is not there.
[19:59] <domnukalu> OerHeks, and have any other idea how to config my graphics card?
[19:59] <haresh> under which one shall ipress the about ??? mazda01
[19:59] <IdleOne> domnukalu: create it
[19:59] <guntbert> !ot | xfact
[20:00] <maritz> legend2440: thanks for the link. i'm trying to set capture to mic, however nothing happens, if i press space. what am i missing? :D
[20:00] <dsl_> hmmm, my keyboard seems to have lost its settings somehow; I'm getting " where I should get @ but system>layout>default is correct. any ideas please?
[20:00] <OerHeks> domnukalu you can use xorg.conf to override the default setting, by hand
[20:00] <domnukalu> IdleOne, I did, but I think i didn't do it properly, because system didn't start ok, and I had to delete it manually.
[20:01] <IdleOne> domnukalu: I don't mess with xorg.conf so i am not sure what to tell you
[20:01] <maxo> or is rsync no good, should I have used something else instead?
[20:01] <mazda01> haresh,  System tab, you should have an "about Ubuntu" tab
[20:01] <maxo> because it seems to be transferring the files to the server and setting them as read-only, which is a little annoying
[20:01] <haresh> mazda01, synaptic 0.61ubuntu9
[20:01] <domnukalu> OerHeks, looking for an example of how xorg.conf shoul look, will help?
[20:02] <domnukalu> IdleOne, thanks ayway.
[20:02] <domnukalu> *IdleOne, thanks anyway.

[20:03] <guideX> and then my terminal window freezes

[20:04] <maco> donvito-: because the echo command is lowercase?

[20:04] <`mOOse`> guideX: sudo gedit

[20:05] <mazda01> guntbert, thanks for the help

[20:05] <maritz> legend2440: ok, but there is no "space to set capture" option there either. (only for "IEC958" and 3x "Capture")
[20:05] <`mOOse`> aar: install Moblocker
[20:05] <hamzaatova2> why does the microphone input volume lowering itself automatically?

[20:06] <domnukalu> Lucky you! :)
[20:06] <`mOOse`> oh, you need to change them - I thought you needed to edit them
[20:07] <guideX> well I do but I can't edit it cause I don't have permission
[20:07] <aar> `mOOse` Thanks I'll check it out
[20:07] <legend2440> maritz: is this a laptop with built-in Mic?

[20:08] <guideX> with gedit when I go to open the file I need to edit I don't see it in the list
[20:08] <thepacman> i'm seeking an old PCI video card to run 9.10 on. what should i look for or avoid, compatibility-wise? is Voodoo good/bad?

[20:08] <bleepbloop> `mOOse`: do I have to do any formatting to my USB stick before using unetbootin or pendrive on it?
[20:09] <`mOOse`> bleepbloop: I fdisked and formatted win 32 bit
[20:09] <Jamed> !patience | user1_, also you should ask questions and give full details, not just paste some error message
[20:09] <BluesKaj> thepacman, try for a nvidia 7series or higher
[20:09] <owen1> what is the difference between vbox-ose and the one from sun's website?
[20:09] <guideX> I get some dirs guntbert
[20:09] <haresh> but now itis  guntbert
[20:09] <haresh> ?
[20:09] <bleepbloop> `mOOse`: is that an application or something I have to do with code?
[20:09] <Slart> owen1: the main thing is that the one from sun has usb support
[20:09] <repnop> owen1: rdp support and usb unless ose has that now.
[20:09] <legend2440> maritz: what helped me was installing   pavumeter  and  pavucontrol  i had to fiddle with settings in pavucontrol also. i basically just got lucky
[20:09] <bleepbloop> `mOOse`: that may be part of the issue im running into
[20:10] <owen1> repnop: so if i want to use a usb printer, i should get the one from sunL
[20:10] <owen1> ?
[20:10] <user1_> Jamed:  firefox is not starting
[20:10] <repnop> owen1: correct
[20:10] <guntbert> guideX: what ubuntu version?
[20:10] <guideX> 9.10
[20:10] <thepacman> BluesKaj, as in 7xxx?
[20:10] <mazda01> haresh, so you're saying that within synaptic, under settings, repos, then Upgrade Release has it set to Normal Releases
[20:10] <mazda01> guntbert, thanks.
[20:11] <haresh> yeah i did mazda01
[20:11] <thepacman> 7600, 7900, etc.
[20:11] <`mOOse`> bleepbloop: I used Partition Wizard Home Edition 4.2 in win7 (or xp), and then right-clicked on the drive in windows explorer and formatted it from there
[20:11] <mazda01> guntbert, do you know the gconf command to restart the desktop icons?
[20:11] <maritz> legend2440: if i go into the gnome-volume-control i don't have any devices to select to configure.
[20:11] <`mOOse`> partition wizard is free (I think) ;-)
[20:11] <guntbert> !who | guideX
[20:11] <mazda01> haresh, im going to send you a PM
[20:11] <haresh> ok
[20:11] <ardchoille> mazda01: nautilus manages desktop icons, wallpaper, restart nautilus
[20:11] <Jamed> user1_: did it just start doing that recently, or right after installation?
[20:11] <bleepbloop> `mOOse`: sweeeet!
[20:12] <guntbert> guideX: did you a fresh install or an upgrade?
[20:12] <BluesKaj> thepacman, yes, i have an 3yr old 7600gt, and its fine on the all the distros since 8.04
[20:12] <guideX> guntbert: 9.10, to back up a bit, here's my issue: On my Dell 600m laptop with new 160 gb ata-100 ide hdd, I install Ubuntu 9.10 from Alt dvd in text mode or regular install or live, it installs fine, but on first boot Grub says 'Error no such device <device>'. I've tried rescue a broken system to fix the problem but doesn't help.
[20:12] <guideX> fresh install
[20:12] <bleepbloop> `mOOse`: so you used that, AND THEN you used pendrive?
[20:12] <thepacman> BluesKaj, are you recommending this because you know it works, or because i need that for performance?
[20:12] <`mOOse`> yes
[20:12] <BluesKaj> both
[20:12] <guideX> So i'm following the instructions (and failing) on this page http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1337254
[20:12] <mazda01> ardchoille, thanks
[20:12] <`mOOse`> first I had to prep the flashdrive (which was ntfs
[20:12] <BluesKaj> and it's cheap on ebay
[20:12] <`mOOse`> ))
[20:13] <`mOOse`> it won't install on an ntfs partition
[20:13] <guntbert> guideX: I see - I only wanted to know if you have grub2 - obviously yes
[20:13] <Aleoss> Can someone tell me why the Install button isn't working in the Ubuntu Software Centre? (Ubuntu 9.10 AMDx64)
[20:13] <guideX> yeah I do
[20:13] <guideX> 1.97 beta I think
[20:13] <thepacman> BluesKaj, this is an old parts box... 2.4ghz P4, 1gb of DDR. a 7600GT feels like way overkill. i was hoping an old GF3 would cut it.
[20:13] <`mOOse`> use this for both fdisking and formatting if you want to bleepbloop
[20:13] <`mOOse`> http://majorgeeks.com/Partition_Wizard_Home_Edition_d6175.html
[20:13] <guideX> the one that comes with 9.10
[20:13] <`mOOse`> it's free
[20:13] <xfact> well, I am about to start using a fresh version ubuntu, so asking from you guys that which version of Ubuntu is best for me to download and use?
[20:13] <nmvictor> i have emacs and emacs22 installed, will removing emacs supress emacs22 in any way?
[20:13] <BluesKaj> thepacman, of course if you buy a new one , it should be fine as well
[20:13] <maxo> does anyone here use rsync and samba?
[20:14] <bleepbloop> `mOOse`: awesome! thank you :-D
[20:14] <thepacman> besides, i think the 7600GT is only in AGP and PCIe. it's pretty darn hard to find a PCI card these days.
[20:14] <bleepbloop> `mOOse`: hopefully this will help a bit
[20:14] <guntbert> guideX: please !pastebin the output of ls -l /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[20:14] <xfact> anyone can suggest me?
[20:14] <legend2440> maritz: i too have onboard sound in gnome-volume-control  my hardware tab  device is Analog Stereo Duplex
[20:14] <`mOOse`> glad I could help bleepbloop (I do try!)\
[20:14] <`mOOse`> lol
[20:14] <xfact> I am about to start using a fresh version ubuntu, so asking from you guys that which version of Ubuntu is best for me to download and use?

[20:17] <guideX> guntbert: When I go into /boot/grub/grub.cfg, and do a ls, I don't see a file, then when I vi grub.cfg from the /boot/grub dir, I get a new file
[20:17] <guideX> I must be doing something wrong

[20:18] <guideX> ok
[20:18] <BluesKaj> thepacman, it looks like the glx-173 driver will work with the g3xxx series
[20:18] <xfact> Slart: That means I should use 9.10]
[20:18] <fortunev> using Gnome that is...
[20:18] <xfact> okey....
[20:18] <insmod>  any idea when ubuntu will have the new libgpod in rep
[20:19] <Slart> xfact: no.. it means you should tell us what you're looking for.. we don't know anything about you.. how can we make any recommendations.. perhaps you want to run ubuntu on a mobile phone.. perhaps you're going to run it on a super computer cluster.. we have no idea
[20:19] <guideX> it says ls: cannot access /boot/grub/grub.cfg: no such file or directory
[20:19] <bucknasty> I have a samsung nc10 netbook with the intel atom270 cpu. should I encrypt the whole hdd or just one (non system) partition? -> performance issue

[20:23] <Syrogen> hi, anyone has hiawatha as their webserver?
[20:23] <xfact> pk pk
[20:23] <Slart> xfact: there is 32 bit versions for 32bit processors, 64bit versions for 64bit processors, xubuntu which is a little easier on the hardware, kubuntu if you like KDE or regular ubuntu if you like gnome.. there's lts versions if you're looking for stability and then there's 9.10 which is the latest.. you pick one yourself
[20:23] <guntbert> guideX: open a terminal, pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l please
[20:23] <`mOOse`> I can't even decide whether to run gnome or kde lol
[20:24] <xfact> okey
[20:24] <guideX> moose; gnome
[20:24] <CShadowRun> `mOOse`: get livecds, try them both out :)
[20:24] <CShadowRun> or yea, gnome.
[20:24] <`mOOse`> I have!!
[20:24] <pawel_121> KDE is far better
[20:24] <fortunev> Hi all. Sorry for the repost. I think I stepped on another conversation. In Ubuntu using Gnome, how can I turn off desktop wrapping, when my mouse touches the edge of the screen?
[20:24] <`mOOse`> I like both - kde for the eye candy, and gnome for the utility - it's a tough call!
[20:24] <pawel_121> what utilities? :)
fluxbox
[20:25] <Slart> fortunev: I think it's a compiz setting.. check the ccsm
[20:25] <Slart> !ccsm | fortunev
[20:25] <guideX> guntbert: pasting 1 sec
[20:25] <`mOOse`> and now I'm looking at suse again lol
[20:25] <`mOOse`> pawel_121: why do you think kde is better? (serious question)
[20:25] <Sensiva> Hello All, the past few days I discovered that restarting my pc (after relatively long uptime periods) I get an error in X startup saying "intel(0): No valid modes". Powering off the pc for 2 minutes solves the problem
[20:25] <Setherd> Don't feed the trolls.
[20:25] <fortunev> ubottu: I will give that a shot. Thanks
[20:26] <Sensiva> Any ideas about the cause of this symptom?
[20:26] <pawel_121> `mOOse it's much more customizable, KDE applications are feature reach and qt is very fast toolkit
[20:26] <fortunev> By the way Openbox rocks. But Gome looks better
[20:27] <Slart> fortunev: I've heard many users mention openbox.. never tried it myself.. what's so great about it?
[20:27] <pawel_121> Setherd, trolls doesn't have arguments like you don't
[20:27] <duffydack> is it better to have an ext2/3 partition and use a driver in windows, or create an ntfs partition, to share data..
[20:28] <pawel_121> mOOse and KDE looks better compared to gnome, but it's personal feeling for some people
[20:28] <`mOOse`> I wish I wish I could really love kde, but it seems there's ALWAYS a deal-breaker in there somewhere
[20:28] <Setherd> See what I mean?
[20:28] <Slart> duffydack: I would go with a ntfs partition
[20:28] <guntbert> !ot | pawel_121
[20:28] <Aleoss> I attempted to play a .xm audio file in Audacious2 and it did a scratchy sound at the start and then nothing, I went to play another song that normally did play and it did the exact same thing and it started doing it with every song I attempted to play. How do I fix this?
[20:28] <pawel_121> Setherd, features aren't personal things, those are facts
[20:28] <Joe__> god I'm getting really good at breaking this thing
[20:28] <pawel_121> however, it's rather for off topic
[20:28] <Slart> duffydack: I've never really liked the windows drivers for ext2.. but perhaps that's just me
[20:29] <duffydack> Slart, I was thinking that too..  Do I need ntfs-3g installed or is ubuntu all setup for it/
[20:29] <Slart> duffydack: I think 9.10 is all setup from the start
[20:29] <duffydack> nice
[20:29] <lilyshu> hi. with grub2 i can't see fedora 12 installation. and i don't understand why osprober failed to recognize fedora 12 installation. please help. thanks :-)
[20:29] <duffydack> <3 the ubuntu
[20:29] <Aleoss> I attempted to play a .xm audio file in Audacious2 and it did a scratchy sound at the start and then nothing, I went to play another song that normally did play and it did the exact same thing and it started doing it with every song I attempted to play. How do I fix this? (Ubuntu 9.10 AMDx64)
[20:30] <fortunev> ubottu: That was it. In the appearances , under Edges. Thanks again.
[20:30] <Slart> Aleoss: try running it from a terminal.. see if you get any errors
[20:30] <Slart> !botcookie
[20:30] <ActionParsnip> werd up
[20:30] <Slart> !botsnack
[20:30] <Aleoss> Slart: Still does it.
[20:30] <guideX> guntbert: I am unable to pastebin with the laptop, I get /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2, and /dev/sda5
[20:30] <Slart> Aleoss: no error message?
[20:31] <Aleoss> Slart: In the terminal, it says: madplug: lost synchronozation.
[20:31] <mneptok> duffydack: use FAT32
[20:31] <lilyshu> ActionParsnip, can you help me? :)
[20:31] <guideX> I am unable to open a firefox browser window from live cd for some reason, it crashes gnome when I do
[20:31] <Aleoss> synchronization*
[20:31] <ActionParsnip> lilyshu: i havent seen your question, so currently no. wassup?
[20:31] <uvacav> anyone have any idea why nvidia-settings is having trouble detecting an hdmi tv?
[20:31] <guideX> guntbert: is that enough info or do you need more
[20:31] <sixtila> how do i check if my install file is corrupt?
[20:31] <lilyshu> ActionParsnip, with grub2 i can't see fedora 12 installation. and i don't understand why osprober failed to recognize fedora 12 installation.
[20:31] <duffydack> mneptok, I`d rather use ntfs, is it stable enough?
[20:32] <guideX> guntbert: sda1 is the linux, sda2 is extended, sda5 is linux swap/solaris
[20:32] <mneptok> duffydack: the HTFS driver is far less reliable and polished than is FAT32
[20:32] <guntbert> guideX: from my experience you system should be on /dev/sda1 so we try this
[20:32] <mneptok> *NTFS
[20:32] <ActionParsnip> !grub2 | lilyshu
[20:32] <bleepbloop> `mOOse`: I'm sorry to say but I'm sort of at a loss as to how to go about using this app you recommended to format my USB stick :-/
[20:32] <Slart> Aleoss: hmm.. googled about it.. didn't really find anything
[20:33] <sixtila> how do i check if my installation of ubuntu was corrupt or not?
[20:33] <ActionParsnip> lilyshu: you will need to add an extra option in the extra OS file to get added to the menu
[20:33] <ActionParsnip> sixtila: sudo apt-get -f install
[20:33] <Slart> Aleoss: it might be a bug in audacious.. or a bug in that madplugin (whatever that is)  or something else.. I don't really know
[20:33] <guntbert> guideX: type sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
[20:33] <Aleoss> Slart: What caused it was that I ran a .xm audio file.
[20:33] <`mOOse`> ok, well just right click on it and choose format and format it to win 32
[20:33] <macman_> anyanyone know some good flags with ffmpeg .. i want to convert a mpg to a mpg but with x624
[20:34] <lilyshu> ActionParsnip, ok i understand, thanks ;)
[20:34] <guideX> guntbert: Ok no errors reported
[20:34] <guideX> it returned to commandline
[20:34] <Slart> sixtila: I'm not sure if there is a good way... do you suspect that something is broken?
[20:34] <mneptok> macman_: install VLC and use it to convert. it has a nice GUIfied menu system.
[20:34] <guideX> guntbert: so now i'll try that other command
[20:34] <sixtila> slart yes, i had hash mismatch when i installed, but now looks fine though
[20:34] <guntbert> guideX: good wait
[20:34] <BluesKaj> macman_, goto the ffmpeg website for the optionsal commands
[20:34] <sixtila> slart then in debian too i had hash mismatch
[20:34] <ActionParsnip> macman_: or theres andbrake or winff
[20:34] <Slart> sixtila: you can always check the md5sum of the install media if you want
[20:35] <duffydack> macman_, huh?   mpg with x264?  I use ffmpeg and winff, it has some good presets
[20:35] <Slart> !md5 | sixtila
[20:35] <Aleoss> Slart: I got it figured out. Roger Niva at http://help.lockergnome.com/linux/Bug-498745-audacious-Hangs-playback--ftopict501052.html has it figured.
[20:35] <bleepbloop> `mOOse`: the only options i have when i say to format it are the "File System" and "Allocation unit size"
[20:35] <guntbert> guideX: take it slow! type sudo chroot /mnt
[20:35] <macman_> duffydack: my bad h.624
[20:35] <kalic> what command can you use to check what hardrives are listed so you know what to tell linux wich drive to mount?
[20:35] <Slart> Aleoss: ah.. nice google fu there =)
[20:35] <mneptok> duffydack: x264 is MPEG4, AFAIK
[20:35] <guntbert> kalic: sudo fdisk -l
[20:35] <Aleoss> Slart: And the .xm file is playing perfectly.
[20:35] <guideX> guntbert: ok now it says root@ubuntu:/#
[20:35] <bleepbloop> `mOOse`: for File system  I selected FAT32 and for Allocation unit size i selested 32 kb
[20:35] <duffydack> macman_, yeah, x264..
[20:36] <kalic> guntbert: thanks :)
[20:36] <Frameset> Heute jemand da mit +/- 10er Inbus
[20:36] <`mOOse`> perfect bleepbloop
[20:36] <macman_> duffydack: whats should i use to convert it then ?
[20:36] <Slart> Aleoss: great
[20:36] <sixtila> slart i dont have the iso now, had it in flash drive but no more - can i md5sum of what i have now?
[20:36] <duffydack> macman_, if you feel like compiling the latest (I have its easy) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=786095
[20:36] <mneptok> macman_: i'd use VLC ...
[20:36] <`mOOse`> just make sure you're formatting the flashdrive and not your hd ;-)
[20:36] <tenach> macman_: I agree with mneptok; I'd use VLC
[20:36] <legend2440> uvacav: maybe someone in channel   #nvidia  would know
[20:36] <guntbert> guideX: now you can edit that file - lets check first : ls -l /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[20:37] <bleepbloop> `mOOse`: I just right clicked on the flash drive and clicked on 'Format'
[20:37] <Slart> sixtila: I don't think so.. I've never really looked into it... it might be possible.. I think the md5sums for the installed files are available from the packages.. but I don't really know how to do it automagically
[20:37] <bleepbloop> `mOOse`: are the settings I named off the settings I want to be using?
[20:37] <gabex> hi, question - i can't get ubuntu (or k3b) to mount/identify my external DVD writer
[20:37] <gabex> any tips?
[20:37] <guideX> ok now it shows me the permisions
[20:37] <guideX> guntbert ^
[20:37] <duffydack> I compile latest and use winff which has a good set of presets.  8 threads encodes at 41fps which is good for x264
[20:38] <sixtila> actionparsnip1 -f install lists a group of files saying they are automatically installed and no longer required
[20:38] <guideX> guntbert: now we can change them I'm thinking
[20:38] <morphles> ubuntu has weird stuff going on with wireles passwords: on routers you can set quite short pass (lets say 5 symbosl), now on ubuntu if you want to join wireless network, network mannager doesnt let to press connect if password is shorter than 8(or 6) symbols, whats up with that? and how to get around this?
[20:39] <guntbert> guideX: yes, but first make a backup copy: sudo cp /boot/grub/grub.cfg /boot/grub/grub.cfg.backup
[20:39] <gabex> i see weird messages (ehci etc) in /var/log/messages
[20:39] <gabex> but don't know how to tell ubuntu which device it is
[20:39] <gabex> or if it has assigned it one
[20:39] <gabex> then to get it to recognize it as an external DVDRW
[20:39] <guntbert> !enter | gabex
[20:40] <gabex> sorry.
[20:40] <guideX> ahgg
[20:40] <sixtila> anyway i could check the md5sum of the installed ubuntu (not the iso)
[20:40] <guideX> guntbert: ok cool
[20:40] <mneptok> sixtila: no
[20:41] <sixtila> mneptok anyway to see if my installation was corrupt?
[20:41] <hummesse> hi everybody. I am having a problem where i can not set the get the resolution past 800x600 even though i know the pc is capable of 1200x800. lspci gives me this: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter (rev 10)
[20:41] <benjamin__> Hello
[20:41] <Goliath> ji
[20:41] <Goliath> hi
[20:41] <hummesse> anyone know about this problem?
[20:41] <guntbert> guideX: are you comfortable with a CLI editor or would you rather use gedit?
[20:41] <morphles> how to make ubuntu accept short password when connecting to wireless? (it doesnt let use shor pasword even if its is real password of access point)
[20:41] <Goliath> Hey
[20:41] <guideX> vi is the only one i know
[20:42] <Goliath> does anyone know how can i use wpa_supplicant to connect to a wpa2 net
[20:42] <guideX> the vi under esx anyways
[20:42] <maco> Goliath: same as wpa1
[20:42] <pawel_121> hummesse you probably have to install drivers for you graphic card
[20:42] <benjamin__> I've a problem with 8.04 that my DVD is sooo slow. With hdparm I get "HDIO_GET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device". Any ideas what to do?
[20:42] <Goliath> maco how?
[20:42] <kymara> hello, can anyone tell me if i have to do anything about this: 'the package cvs should be rebuild with new debhelper to get trigger support' (i had done apt-get install cvs)
[20:42] <Goliath> it fails
[20:42] <thepacman> BluesKaj, i'm back. i'm not talking the 3xxx series, i'm talking about the ancient 3 series.
[20:42] <pawel_121> hummesse or put some modelines into xorg
[20:43] <hummesse> modelines?
[20:43] <DrManhattan> sounds like its vesa time.
[20:43] <maco> Goliath: i use /etc/network/interfaces with a "wpa-ssid foo" line and a "wpa-psk bar" line
[20:43] <thepacman> that is, GeForce 3, GeForce 3 Ti 200, GF3 Ti300, and, uh, i think the Ti500
[20:43] <hellyes> why do I get an "authentication failure" when I type my root password after typing su in the terminal?  I use the same password I always use.
[20:43] <maco> Goliath: and then just ifup
[20:43] <thepacman> made about 8 years ago
[20:43] <maco> Goliath: well...."ifup wlan0" or whatever the interface is called
[20:43] <hummesse> would lspci even give me the correct name for the card if it has no drivers?
[20:43] <guntbert> guideX: vi is perfect :-) - type sudo vi /boot/grub/grub.cfg - do what you have to do and end the session with :x (write+exit), end the chroot session with <ctrl>d and reboot
[20:43] <benjamin__> I had this problem years ago, but don't remember the solution... :-(
[20:43] <pawel_121> hummesse yes, or modes like: Modes     "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" in Section "Screen"
[20:43] <ardchoille> hellyes: use sudo -i
[20:43] <BluesKaj> thepacman,  type a 3series ancient or whatever in the search in synaptic ans check properties on the drivers that are listed
[20:43] <DrManhattan> thepacman, you can use the legacy nviidia driver with that
[20:43] <odinsbane> hellyes: did you set your root password?
[20:43] <pawel_121> hummesse it gave you correct name
[20:44] <Joe__> whee not broke again :P
[20:44] <thepacman> BluesKaj, i don't currently have a Linux system with Synaptics.
[20:44] <guideX> guntbert: thanks, I will try now
[20:44] <hummesse> i guess the modeline has to go in my xorg.conf?
[20:44] <guntbert> guideX: glad to help and Good luck :-)
[20:44] <thepacman> DrManhattan, is there a list of what cards work with this "legacy nvidia driver"?
[20:44] <hellyes> odinsbane: it's not the administrator password I gave it at install?
[20:44] <hummesse> the problem is that ubuntu does not have one anymore
[20:44] <DrManhattan> thepacman, geforce 3ti isnt THAT bad as far as an old school card goes, you should be able to do some decent stuff with that
[20:44] <BluesKaj> well, then your package manager, thepacman
[20:45] <guntbert> !sudo | hellyes
[20:45] <ardchoille> hellyes: sudo uses your user password
[20:45] <DrManhattan> thepacman, there is, I use the legacy driver for an mx440, I will try to get you a link for the list
[20:45] <pawel_121> hummesse yes, they go there, so you must create one and you must have drivers
[20:45] <hellyes> ahhh. ok
[20:45] <thepacman> DrManhattan, do you know if a counterpart driver exists for older ATi cards too?
[20:45] <hellyes> thanks
[20:45] <hummesse> but the what about the rest of the configuration of xorg? i dont know what else to write..
[20:46] <DrManhattan> thepacman, yes
[20:46] <DrManhattan> thepacman, I have to leave, http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html
[20:46] <kevin__> quick q: what did they change key combination to restart x too again?
[20:46] <hummesse> is there not some autoconfig scripts that generates some default file that i can the edit
[20:46] <pawel_121> hummesse I don't know neither, I had similar problem and I had to search in google for xorg
[20:46] <DrManhattan> gf3 im pretty sure will use the 76 legacy series
[20:46] <Supersaiyan_IV> Anyone knows if there's a way to make an Ati Mobility Radeon x300 work with the latest xorg versions?
[20:46] <thepacman> is the ATi one provided by ATI too?
[20:46] <ardchoille> !dontzap | kevin__
[20:47] <DrManhattan> sorry I mean 71 series
[20:47] <evanescent> I'm trying to install ubuntu 9.10 and I keep getting a black screen
[20:47] <thepacman> and do these legacy drivers ship with Ubuntu, or do i need to manually install them?
[20:47] <evanescent> I do see the menu, and I pick install ubuntu, and then I see the logo for a bit
[20:47] <odinsbane> hellyes: I don't know about that.  have you tried su root?
[20:47] <evanescent> but it goes black after that.
[20:47] <DrManhattan> thepacman, youll have to do the research yourself, but I think there might be packages for ubuntu with those drivers
[20:47] <ardchoille> odinsbane: please recomend sudo -i, it's better
[20:47] <guntbert> odinsbane: don't suggest that please
[20:47] <BluesKaj> Supersaiyan_IV, there are no latest xorg versions , only kernel source drivers for your hardware
[20:47] <maco> odinsbane: um we have no root password, so i think you mean "sudo -i" <-- hellyes,  please read
[20:47] <thepacman> thanks a lot DrManhattan!!
[20:47] <DrManhattan> thepacman, glad to help

[20:48] <kymara> ah never mind about the message i got from apt-get with installing cvs, it seemed to work normally anyway so i will ignore it
[20:48] <kymara> thanks anyway
[20:48] <Supersaiyan_IV> BlueEagle, then how come i had to downgrade my xorg to an older version to make the x300 sriver work
[20:48] <Supersaiyan_IV> driver*
[20:48] <hummesse> by the way.. what is the clear and compelling reason fort the "sudo" concept instaed of just having a root user?
[20:49] <ardchoille> !sudo | hummesse please read this page
[20:49] <odinsbane> hummesse: sudo is nicer with permissions and ownerships.
[20:49] <pawel_121> hummesse here's some about sis and xorg: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/screen-resolution.-with-sis-graphics.-cant-get-xorg.conf-to-help...-709218/
[20:49] <ardchoille> hummesse: a locked root account cannot be brute forced :)
[20:49] <hummesse> thanks
[20:49] <dnlgby> hi all, do you know how can i download music from myspace?
[20:49] <Supersaiyan_IV> BlueEagle, it's a legacy card, there's no support
[20:49] <hummesse> thanks pawel_121! ill go read
[20:49] <pawel_121> hummesse no problem, I hope you'll find this usefull
[20:49] <duffydack> wonderful, nautilus just vanished while viewing my external drives properties..  :/
[20:50] <aar> Hi, I'm trying to block all ports except for 80. I've fed this (http://paste.ubuntu.com/347770/) to IPTABLES, but that blocks everything including port 80. Where am I going wrong?
[20:52] <pawel_121> hummesse and here's probably something better: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-sis/+bug/301958
[20:52] <evanescent> any idea why ubuntu 9.10 is hanging with a blank screen during the installer when I try to re-install it on my desktop?
[20:53] <dath> hi
[20:53] <dath> whats a good webcam for linux with high resolution and fps that works with skype, msn, yahoo etc?
[20:53] <mohmmed01> hi
[20:54] <mohmmed01> hi
[20:54] <aar> dath, I've got a creative and it works fine
[20:54] <evanescent> most work fine
[20:54] <Younder> evanescent, have you checked the respective gnove versions? It seems the gdm has trobles handeling a update.
[20:54] <apparle> When I Suspend to RAM and then resume... the system starts but monitor remains off what to do?
[20:54] <evanescent> Younder, what do you mean?
[20:54] <evanescent> Younder, I am installing fresh from the install CD
[20:54] <aar> apparle, do you have a swap partition / file?
[20:54] <Nrbelex> Does anyone know of a good guide to get Ampache running on 9.10?
[20:55] <apparle> aar: swap partition
[20:55] <Younder> evanescent, I did a manual gnome update a while back and I got a blank screen at startup.
[20:55] <iceroot> Nrbelex: apache?
[20:55] <Nrbelex> iceroot, ampache
[20:55] <evanescent> Younder, what is odd is that I am running 9.10 now and it works fine, but when I try to install it from the cd I can't.
[20:55] <evanescent> installer just hangs with a blank screen
[20:56] <odinsbane> so it looks like the sudo -i is recommended against.
[20:56] <mohmmed01> hi this is frist time use liunx it is good I am Mohmmed from libya
[20:56] <bleepbloop> okay, if i tried booting UNR from a USB stick on my netbook, and i got the message 'Please remove the disc and close the tray (if any) then press ENTER:' what do i do?
[20:56] <Younder> evanescent, is the CD the same ubuntu version?
[20:56] <evanescent> Younder, yes
[20:56] <iceroot> Nrbelex: sudo apt-get install ampache   was not working?
[20:56] <guntbert> odinsbane: no, sudo -i is fine - who said otherwise?
[20:56] <evanescent> Younder, but I got 9.10 before by upgrading from 9.04
[20:56] <evanescent> this is the first time installing fresh
[20:56] <aar> apparle, OK. You might have to try with different kernel versions. It can be very difficult to get some of the older systems to suspend properly.
[20:57] <Psi-Jack> Does Ubuntu's ifup/ifdown still use ifconfig/route instead of iproute2 tools?
[20:57] <Nrbelex> iceroot, I haven't tried anything yet. I'm just looking for a guide before I do, but everything is outdated.
[20:57] <odinsbane> guntbert: the page somebody just pointed out.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[20:57] <guntbert> odinsbane: but I almost never need it anyway, standard sudo suffices mostly
[20:57] <odinsbane> At the bottome it says, NOne of the methods below are sugg or supported.
[20:58] <Younder> evanescent, and the disk version is updated from the CD??
[20:58] <apparle> aar: What could be the problem... anyway I could locate it
[20:58] <wolf2k_ubuntu> Afternoon. I finally decided to wise up and use the package manager for more stuff from here on. Unfortunately, I don't exactly know where some things got installed. Does anyone recall where apache2 usually gets placed?
[20:58] <evanescent> it was updated via the internet Younder
[20:58] <evanescent> the version I have installed
[20:58] <evanescent> the version on the CD is just the normal iso
[20:59] <guntbert> odinsbane: that is true in that sense: they are mostly not needed at all - and if you get yourself in trouble...
[20:59] <Younder> evanescent, right.. Well the CD shoudn't see the disk version.
[20:59] <evanescent> Younder, it doesn't, that's not the issue
[20:59] <evanescent> Younder, it just hangs when I try to install
[20:59] <cabaro> wolf2k: locate apache2
[20:59] <TheRocK|> how to add a non root user to the /etc/passwd file? can someone tell me what the line should look like?
[20:59] <sixtila> when i use keyboard to do paste, the mouse doesnt move for like a second ! this is annoying, is it the same for everyone in ubuntu??
[20:59] <aar> apparle, Sorry I'm not sure, but I would start by googling your computer model + suspend. Maybe it's not supported (this is not uncommon with older models).
[21:00] <evanescent> TheRocK|, it is preferable that you do not edit this file yourself
[21:00] <iceroot> TheRocK|: sudo adduser username
[21:00] <TheRocK|> well i need to do it with the file
[21:00] <Younder> evanescent, that leaves a bad disk. Have you checked the CD for bad sectors?
[21:00] <lotta> hello, i'm on this page ( http://gquigs.blogspot.com/2009/01/bad-memory-howto.html ) and i try to apply the option 3. -- i got ubuntu 9.10 karmic (first installation)
[21:00] <lotta> so that i don't got this menu.lst file --- i can find a /boot/grub/grub.cfg but there's no kopt=root ... in the while content --- what can i do ?
[21:00] <iceroot> TheRocK|: never!!! edit /etc/passwd to add a user
[21:00] <guntbert> odinsbane: but in the middle it states "best alternative is to simulate a root login shell using the following command...  sudo -i "
[21:00] <TheRocK|> iceroot, why not?
[21:00] <evanescent> Younder, I did the consistency check and it's OK. but to be sure, I re-downloaded the ISO and burned the disk again. same issue
[21:01] <iceroot> TheRocK|: if you break that file you will get big problems
[21:01] <sixtila> does your mouse also stops for a sec when using keyboard ctrl+v ?
[21:01] <iceroot> TheRocK|: so use adduser
[21:01] <TheRocK|> iceroot, well i just want to add a user, i tried, but the user has root priviliges
[21:01] <iceroot> TheRocK|: the dont put him in the admin-group
[21:01] <evanescent> you can disable that
[21:01] <TheRocK|> and i don't have adduser on here, and it should work with the passwd file aswell...
[21:01] <wolf2k_ubuntu> cabaro: Unsure if this is a good thing or not, but...by the looks of things, it installed apache where I originally installed it via source. If that's the case...I have no clue which httpd.conf file it's calling upon, because my attempts at visiting localhost/test.php (local file) aren't working.
[21:01] <iceroot> TheRocK|: you are on ubuntu?
[21:02] <TheRocK|> iceroot, can you tell me what the line should look like for a non admin user?
[21:02] <Younder> evanescent, ok, so basically 9.10 is the problem. And a update overts the problem. How about the graphics driver on the disk version?
[21:02] <TheRocK|> yea
[21:02] <sixtila> anyway i could use both my keyboard and mouse at the same time? using keyboard makes mouse unavailable
[21:02] <evanescent> Younder, nvidia's proprietary one is what I use on the version I have installed
[21:02] <iceroot> TheRocK|: just dont put him in the groups root and admin
[21:02] <aar> Hi, I'm trying to block all ports except for 80. I've fed this (http://paste.ubuntu.com/347770/) to IPTABLES, but that blocks everything including port 80. Where am I going wrong?
[21:02] <Aleoss> I have 2 graphics cards and the 2nd graphics card isn't being utilized by Linux at all because it's X Screens: None and Display Devices: None but the other card has X Screens: Screen 0 and Display Devices: Siko (DFP-0). How do I get my 2nd graphics card to assist the first one?
[21:02] <evanescent> TheRocK|, system > administrator > users and groups
[21:03] <evanescent> click the user, go to properties, etc.
[21:03] <evanescent> you can figure it out from there
[21:03] <aliendude5300> Hi, I can't connect to my wireless network on Ubuntu ( or any other networks that use WPA/WPA2 encryption ) -- WEP works fine. I'm using an Atheros chipset.
[21:03] <TheRocK|> well i have only the command line, no gnome
[21:03] <guntbert> TheRocK|: then 1) type man adduser -- 2) sudo adduser newname
[21:03] <sixtila> can i make my mouse and keyboard work the same time? its annoying in games
[21:03] <TheRocK|> so i really have to do it through the passwd file
[21:03] <iceroot> TheRocK|: use adduser as i told you before
[21:03] <invisime> I have an older machine that I'm trying to put karmic on from live disc. it boots just fine, but it quickly becomes unresponsive during install.
[21:03] <iceroot> TheRocK|: no
[21:03] <cabaro> wolf2k: /etc/apache2/httpd.conf   is your best bet for
[21:03] <iceroot> TheRocK|: dont edit /etc/passwd
[21:03] <invisime> is there a way to install 9.10 that isn't so resource intensive?
[21:04] <TheRocK|> iceroot, i don't have adduser, and i would have to recompile the kernel to get it
[21:04] <mazda01> ne1 use a usb wireless keyboard/mouse combo with a KVM?
[21:04] <cabaro> wolf2k: /etc/apache2/apache2.conf or this
[21:04] <guntbert> TheRocK|: iceroot and I *are* talking about CLI
[21:04] <invisime> (I suspect it's the cd drive that's the bottleneck.)
[21:04] <iceroot> TheRocK|: every ubuntu-system has adduser
[21:04] <wolf2k_ubuntu> cabaro: nothing was in the file
[21:04] <Younder> evanescent, well obviously the disk version doesn't use that. What happens when you trie to run GDM on disk with the standatd driver? (To log in if it fails use the text option in the grub loader
[21:04] <wolf2k_ubuntu> that is, nothing was in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
[21:04] <guideX> `m00se`: yes http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1337254 apears to have worked
[21:04] <guideX> It looks like it's booting
[21:04] <cabaro> wolf2k: /etc/apache2/apache2.conf sorry, i think its this one
[21:04] <aliendude5300> invisime: install the server edition, then sudo apt-get install gnome.
[21:04] <iceroot> wolf2k_ubuntu: /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
[21:04] <sixtila> using keyboard makes my mouse not respond for a short second, can that be fixed
[21:05] <hellyes> how can I gain root access in the Gnome environment?
[21:05] <iceroot> !gksudo | hellyes
[21:05] <TheRocK|> iceroot, not mine, and there has to be a way to do it with the passwd file, i have done it before, but somehow the user i added was always root
[21:05] <aliendude5300> wait -- I'll get you the exact command that might not be 100% correct...
[21:05] <duffydack> aliendude5300, I had to use wicd instead of network-manager for a friends setup in karmic.. worth a try if you dont find any other answer.
[21:05] <dorst> somebody can help me to install webcam on ubuntu? thanks
[21:05] <wolf2k_ubuntu> ...then again, I think I've figured out the system
[21:05] <duffydack> aliendude5300, saying that, it works ok
[21:05] <evanescent> Younder, I haven't tried that. I could try installing in the safe graphics mode and it might work
[21:05] <invisime> aliendude5300: would it be too much to ask for a link to that version's iso?
[21:06] <evanescent> just occured to me
[21:06] <iceroot> TheRocK|: use adduser!!
[21:06] <evanescent> but it would probably be broken once installed
[21:06] <iceroot> TheRocK|: sudo adduser newusername
[21:06] <guideX> guntbert: thanks that really really worked.
[21:06] <cabaro> wolf2k: did you find it?
[21:06] <TheRocK|> iceroot, as i said before, i don't have that...
[21:06] <iceroot> TheRocK|: then you see how the line in /etc/passwd looks like :)
[21:06] <guntbert> guideX: nice :)
[21:06] <iceroot> TheRocK|: and why you dont have adduser?
[21:07] <TheRocK|> iceroot, could you give me an example on your passwd? that would be helpfull ;)
[21:07] <guntbert> TheRocK|: sudo aptitude install adduser
[21:07] <Younder> evanescent, worth a try..
[21:07] <guideX> dietpepsi
[21:07] <evanescent> Younder, how do I fix it once installed if it hangs every time at boot?
[21:07] <evanescent> Younder, that is, get the proprietary driver installed
[21:07] <aliendude5300> invisime: hold on...
[21:08] <wolf2k_ubuntu> cabaro: /etc/apache2 contains many files split up instead of the one big httpd.conf file, including a better site management system. /var/www is the initial location for page building now.
[21:08] <aliendude5300> invisime: 32-bit or 64-bit?
[21:08] <odinsbane> TheRocK|: adduser might be in a directory that isn't in the std path.  ie /usr/sbin/adduser
[21:08] <wolf2k_ubuntu> If nothing else, you may want to put this in an FAQ
[21:08] <invisime> 32. that's why I can't find it.
[21:08] <iceroot> TheRocK|: the root-thing is not controlled in /etc/passwd
[21:08] <dorst> Please can someone help me to install a webcam?
[21:09] <invisime> aliendude5300: as I said, it's a pretty old system. 32 bits.
[21:09] <aliendude5300> invisime: Click alternative download options then 32 bit.
[21:09] <iceroot> TheRocK|: its /etc/group
[21:09] <TheRocK|> hmm ok
[21:09] <TheRocK|> i'll have a look at that
[21:09] <odinsbane> iceroot: /etc/sudoers ?
[21:09] <invisime> aliendude5300: just found it. thanks.
[21:09] <guntbert> !webcam | dorst have you seen
[21:09] <iceroot> odinsbane: no
[21:09] <iceroot> odinsbane: he was speaking about beeing part of the root-group
[21:10] <invisime> aliendude5300: now it's a race to see if I can download and burn server edition before my desktop version becomes responsive again. :P
[21:10] <TheRocK|> what do i do to add a non privileged group to the /etc/group file?
[21:10] <TheRocK|> how should the line look like?
[21:10] <iceroot> TheRocK|: adduser!!!
[21:10] <natschil> has hardy been depricated?
[21:10] <iceroot> TheRocK|: use it please
[21:10] <aliendude5300> when you set up the server, select the minimal set of packages, not Ubuntu-Desktop or LAMP server.
[21:10] <iceroot> TheRocK|: sudo apt-get install adduser && sudo adduser newusername
[21:10] <TheRocK|> iceroot: ...
[21:10] <invisime> aliendude5300: mk.
[21:10] <g0tcha> hey guys, im having a problem configuring my VPN connection in ubuntu, they show the instructions here for windows but not for ubuntu/linux: http://www.giganews.com/vyprvpn/setup.html?type=windowsxp&x=28&y=17
[21:11] <iceroot> TheRocK|: tell me why there is no adduser
[21:11] <invisime> aliendude5300: I was thinking of going with fluxbox for my window manager.
[21:11] <g0tcha> ive installed openvpn but its asking for the cert and all these stuff that i dont have
[21:11] <fujnky> hm. i get "Cannot execute file", when i try to execute "fah6" of Folding@home 6.24.. already tried chmod +x ./fah6
[21:11] <TheRocK|> ok let me put it this way, the box i have is a very small one with very limited hardware, and if i would add adduser, i would need to recompile the kernel
[21:11] <aliendude5300> you can still use gnome... it's actually quite minimal without ubuntu customizations. How much ram does your PC have?
[21:12] <invisime> aliendude5300: 256 MB.
[21:12] <odinsbane> TheRocK|: how about useradd
[21:12] <natschil> does anyone know why apt-get install perl-doc tells me that http://sd.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/p/perl/perl-doc_5.10.0-11.1ubuntu2.2_all.deb is not accessible?
[21:12] <guntbert> TheRocK|: excuse me but that sounds .... strange
[21:12] <natschil> (404)
[21:12] <iceroot> TheRocK|: what is the output of lsb_release -a
[21:12] <invisime> aliendude5300: it can actually handle xubuntu decently as long as I don't have too many apps going. but fluxbox seems to be even slimmer.
[21:13] <TheRocK|> iceroot, command not found
[21:13] <odinsbane> natschil: you might try and update first
[21:13] <Aleoss> How do I disable my Synaptic Touch Pad? I tried using xorg.conf and that didn't do anything.
[21:13] <iceroot> TheRocK|: tell me how you would edit /etc/shadow by hand?
[21:13] <iceroot> TheRocK|: then you are not using ubuntu
[21:13] <aliendude5300> invisime: I had a PC running Ubuntu on 256MB fine for the longest time, but that was before Gutsy even came out, I'd think for most things you'd be fine however... What I think you should do in your case is download the custom distribution of Ubuntu called Crunchbang...
[21:13]  * natschil tries to update first
[21:13] <iceroot> TheRocK|: ad this is ubuntu-support channel
[21:13]  * timmillwood has just installed Ubunutu on his MacBook pro and is chuffed to bits!
[21:13] <TheRocK|> iceroot, i just need to edit the group file, then it should be all good
[21:13] <aliendude5300> invisime: Crunchbang uses OpenBox. It's VERY lightweight. I have a 128MB Pentium III running on it just fine... even with onboard graphics.
[21:14] <iceroot> TheRocK|: man group
[21:14] <iceroot> TheRocK|: man passwd
[21:14] <TheRocK|> so if someone could tell me how to manually add a group to /etc/group that would really help me ;)
[21:14] <iceroot> TheRocK|: read the manpage i posted
[21:14] <guntbert> TheRocK|: please understand: this channel is for ubuntu support only
[21:14] <aliendude5300> invisime: http://crunchbanglinux.org/
[21:14] <invisime> aliendude5300: would you recommend lite edition of that?
[21:14] <TheRocK|> well i don't have that man pages either ;)
[21:14] <TheRocK|> that's why i ask
[21:14] <tony_> holaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[21:15] <iceroot> TheRocK|: please go to the channel your distribution is from
[21:15] <tony_> que taaaaaaaaaal genteeeeeeeeeee
[21:15] <iceroot> TheRocK|: this is ubuntu-support only
[21:15] <guntbert> TheRocK|: man pages are online available
[21:15] <Letter3> tony_: this is an English channel
[21:15] <TheRocK|> meh
[21:15] <odinsbane> TheRocK|: you might find some help in #linux
[21:15] <iceroot> !man | TheRocK|
[21:15] <aliendude5300> invisime: regular worked fine for me, and that's considering it was a Pentium 3 with 128MB ram. I don't know the difference between the two but I think the lite just comes with less apps. I'd suggest the regular version.
[21:16] <angelo> ciao
[21:16] <hummesse> now that ubuntu dont have an xorg.conf file. Is there any way to make it generate one from the settings it uses at the moment?
[21:16] <angelo> viVa ubuntu+
[21:16] <hellyes> !gksudo
[21:16] <odinsbane> TheRocK|: adduser is a perl script, if that helps.

[21:18] <pawel_121> hummesse take a look there :)
[21:18] <invisime> aliendude5300: lol. yeah, it looked pretty empty. but then, ubuntu server comes with basically nothing.
[21:18] <invisime> aliendude5300: might as well roll gentoo. :P
[21:19] <hummesse> thank you pawel_121 , you're a hero.
[21:19] <pawel_121> hummesse nope, I've got similar problem :)
[21:19] <aliendude5300> invisime: I've tried that. It's literally the most painful, long process you will ever have to do.  I guess thats what forums are for :)

The tar man page says "-p, --preserve-permissions, --same-permissions" followed by "extract information about file permissions (default for superuser)"; is this because the -p option ONLY applies when files are being EXTRACTED from an archive?
[21:21] <invisime> aliendude5300: I only ask because #easypeasy is basically a dead channel.
[21:22] <kinja-sheep> aliendude5300: Check for your make/model there. (if it exists).
[21:22] <aliendude5300> invisime: I AM on an eee pc... lol
[21:22] <sixtila> i cant download certain packages - get the Hash Sum Mismatch error
[21:22] <generalsnus> I am having some problems with dsl install, when running "dsl-hdinstall"  and when copying is done i get this:  tar: Removing leading `/' from member names
[21:22] <generalsnus>  just hangs there
[21:22] <generalsnus>  what can i do?
[21:22] <invisime> aliendude5300: me too. it's my most powerful machine.
[21:22] <aliendude5300> invisime: I'm running Ubuntu netbook remix. Karmic.
[21:23] <aliendude5300> invisime: I have a core i7 extreme desktop with 3Gigs of ram and 1.5TB, as well as a ATI Radeon HD 4875 GPU. :)
[21:23] <invisime> I've got windows 7 on this one and I can't seem to get the bootloader to check the sd card. :(
[21:23] <aliendude5300> invisime: My Eee PC is the 1000HA model.
[21:23] <invisime> niiiice.
[21:24] <guntbert> sixtila: you could use another server
[21:24] <inclement> Is it possible to force programs (specifically some games) to start in a window rather than mucking with my screen resolution and starting fullscreen - similar to wine's ability to start programs in  their own window
[21:24] <gmachine_24> Hi. How do I remove software - in this case the "Songbird" program - that I installed from a tar ball instead of a .deb package? Thanks.
[21:25] <ophil>  hi ubottu  can this operating system work independently
[21:25] <guntbert> gmachine_24: look into the documentation in the tar ball - often it is make uninstall
[21:25] <kinja-sheep> inclement: Try "man gameName" or "gameName --help" to see if there are an option for that.
[21:25] <gmachine_24> guntbert ok thanks
[21:25] <minimec> gmachine_24: You will probably find the folder in /usr/local. Maybe there is also a link in /usr/local/bin or /usr/bin. Just delete the folder and the link.
[21:26] <guntbert> gmachine_24: Good luck :-)
[21:26] <islington> ubuntu is not recognizing my sd card

[21:26] <ophil> i have checked out the site
[21:26] <firefly2442> Does the smartctl tool that does hard drive testing actually write data to the drive? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d269bdc53
[21:27] <nmvictor> anyone know how to set up smmppsim in ubuntu?
[21:27] <LizardK|ng> islington, first step is to make sure the card reader is turned on in the BIOS, that was my issue when i had problems
[21:27] <BluesKaj> aliendude5300, I'm using the Atheros AR928X  with wicd network manager and WPA2 encryption the default network manager only provides wep option
[21:28] <sixtila> how do i make the www folder readable and writable by me
[21:28] <krabex> sixtila - change chmod
[21:29] <nmvictor> sixtila: chmod o + rw /var/www/
[21:29] <Aleoss> Noob question: What's the tar function's arguments to untar a .tar.gz file? I tried -x and it didn't work.
[21:29] <LizardK|ng> nmvictor, shouldn't that be o+rw?
[21:29] <dios_mio> Aleoss, tar zxvf file.tar.gz
[21:29] <guntbert> nmvictor: sixtila thats bad advice
[21:29] <sixtila> thanks guys
[21:29] <nmvictor> LizardK|ng: yae, see above sixtila
[21:30] <sixtila> guntbert but its my local server
[21:30] <LizardK|ng> nmvictor, i mean won't having the spaces make it not work?
[21:30] <sixtila> is that bad, can someone over the network change it
[21:30] <guntbert> nmvictor: sixtila never make a directory world writeable
[21:30] <Aleoss> Thanks dios_mio
[21:30] <LjL> sixtila: if /var/www is owned by www-data, make yourself a member of that. if it's owned by root, i'd consider changing that ownership
[21:30] <dios_mio> Aleoss, tar jxvf for bz2
[21:30] <sixtila> guntbert but how would i write in it?
[21:30] <LizardK|ng> nmvictor, you are also assuming his user owns the directory
[21:31] <guntbert> sixtila: listn to LjL
[21:31] <sda_> Hi all!
[21:31] <LizardK|ng> sixtila, LjL's got it, but also make sure the folder is group-writeable
[21:31] <sda_> How can I send a message to notify popup?
[21:32] <nmvictor> LizardK|ng: no, i apologise for assuming that apending sudo to such commands is now a ticket to sustain thyself in ubuntu
[21:32] <pino_> b
[21:32] <mandyG> hello everyone

[21:32] <nigelcourtney> Hello, has anyone had resource issues when adding pci cards to proliant dl series servers
[21:33] <mandyG> can you guys recommend me a nvidia card that will run smoothly on ubuntu with compiz effects
[21:33] <ai9371> whenever I try to edit a file I get error read only disk
[21:33] <guntbert> pino  Do you have an ubuntu support question?
[21:33] <Aleoss> checking for intltool >= 0.35.0... ./configure: line 11905: intltool-update: command not found (when installing gpointing-device 1.3.2) how do I update intltool? I've already done sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade and I tried intltool --version and that said "Command not found"
[21:33] <nmvictor> anyone ever used smppsim here?
[21:33] <ai9371> i type sudo gedit filename
[21:33] <ai9371> than i try to save it
[21:34] <ai9371> and it sayd read only disk
[21:34] <mandyG> i am looking at a geforce 9600 GT or a geforce gt 220
[21:34] <ai9371> I thought I had edited these files before
[21:34] <Aleoss> ai9371: Depends what directory it is in, some directories are perminantly locked like /opt/ and /etc/
[21:34] <guntbert> ai9371: not hat it matters in *this* case but always user gksudo with gui app (like gedit)
[21:34] <guntbert> *use
[21:34] <odinsbane> ai9371: what happens when you type mount
[21:35] <ai9371> this is in /var/
[21:35] <ai9371> /var/www
[21:35] <ArielMT> okay, so i just had the weirdest three-hour experience with connman/wpa_supplicant ever on my intel pro wireless 2200 card.  ubuntu 9.04.  i suddenly lost connection, and no matter what i tried over a two-hour span it never completed the connection.  i left it alone for an hour, and it successfully connected again.  throughout the whole ordeal, a separate pc was wirelessly connected to the same ap, so it wasn't the ap.
[21:35] <ai9371> php file i am edited

[21:37] <sda_> can someone say me how to send an text message to notify system on ubuntu?

[21:41] <rick__> i'm using 186 nvidia drivers but for some reason it doesn't seem like ubuntu 9.10 is using the hardware acceleration when viewing videos (dvd, youtube,etc..), as after a minute the fan kicks on high and the cpu is running at full speed.  is this normal?
[21:41] <kinja-sheep> !info libnotify-bin | sda_
[21:41] <kinja-sheep> sda_: That is your answer. :3
[21:41] <firefly2442> Ookami: VLC?  what's 3gp?
[21:41] <ai9371> ok I changed the permissions with chmod and that worked
[21:42] <nmvictor> i'd be the hapiest guy if someone gave me a hint on how i'd set up SMPPsimulator in ubuntu
[21:42] <sda_> kinja-sheep, so, other program how do they send notify without this bin?
[21:43] <odinsbane> does dbus do that sorta thing?

[21:43] <Alloosh1> hi, just installed fedora, I am ubuntu users, so now I have ubuntu on one partition and fedora on another, when I boot it goes directly to fedora, how can I choose OS to boot to before starting?
[21:43] <sixtila> here is my permission for www folder - is it safe? - owner = me = create and delete, group=root=create and delete, others=access
[21:43] <firefly2442> Ookami: sudo apt-get install vlc
[21:44] <odinsbane> Alloosh1: you'll have to reconfigure grub
[21:44] <firefly2442> Ookami: I don't know if it supports this file format (never seem it before) but it does support a lot of stuff...
[21:44] <mizery> Is it okay to run a 32-bit installation of linux on 64-bit hardware?
[21:44] <Ookami> firefly2442, thanks .. downloading .. will it play anything ?
[21:44] <odinsbane> mizery: its alright.
[21:44] <Ookami> i see ,, thanks a lot .. i'm gonna try it ^^
[21:44] <mizery> odinsbane: yay
[21:44] <firefly2442> Ookami: pretty much, everything I've thrown at it ;)
[21:44] <kinja-sheep> sda_: You even can use Icons. Just look up on manual page / --help
[21:44] <Alloosh1> odinsbane: fedora? any help would be highly appreciated
[21:44] <kinja-sheep> Ookami: Yes, it is okay.
[21:45] <mizery> Also, If I installed Ubuntu on a system with 32-bit hardware, can I swap the hard drive with the linux installation into a computer with 64-bit hardware and still use the same environment?
[21:45] <donvito-> how to add ipv6 vhost on ubuntu
[21:45] <guideX> does anyone know how to prevent ubuntu from updating grub?
[21:45] <odinsbane> Alloosh1: it doesn't matter that its fedora, you can mount your other parition and reconfiure grub.  The easiest might be to see if fedora has a way to do it.
[21:45] <Dantonic> I'm having trouble sharing a printer on my ubuntu 9.10 box with my windows xp laptop... I have followed the CUPS guide.  When I enter http://<hostname>:631/printers in the browser of the laptop, the connections fails/times out...  <hostname> is replaced with the ip address of the ubuntu box
[21:45] <guideX> while still allowing other updates to come through
[21:45] <firefly2442> mizery: it's possible to install 32 bit on 64 bit hardware, I don't know about swapping drives though...

[21:48] <ranjan> any idea regarding lan messenger on ubuntu that supports numerous platform
[21:48] <donvito-> how to add ipv6 vhost on ubuntu
[21:48] <Alloosh1> odinsbane: yes
[21:48] <firefly2442> ranjan: are you talking about something like Bonjour ?
[21:48] <sda_> Really thanks to every one! ( kinja-sheep, trism , ubottu )
[21:49] <invisime> while trying to do a clean install from a live cd, I encounter the following error: error informing the kernel about modifications to partition /dev/sda1 -- Device or resource busy. this means linux won't know about any changes you made to /dev/sda1 until you reboot -- so you shouldn't mount it or use it in any way before rebooting.
[21:49] <odinsbane> Alloosh1: are you using 9.10?
[21:49] <legend2440> guideX: open synaptic  highlight grub-pc   then choose Package>Lock Version
[21:49] <invisime> it then throws the same error for sda2.
[21:49] <Alloosh1> odinsbane: yes
[21:49] <guideX> thanks legend
[21:50] <invisime> then the test of the files system finds uncorrected errors and tells me can go back or use it as is.
[21:50] <rick__> 'm using 185 nvidia drivers but for some reason it doesn't seem like ubuntu 9.10 is using the hardware acceleration when viewing videos (dvd, youtube,etc..), as after a minute the fan kicks on high and the cpu is running at full speed.  is this normal?

[21:52] <lstarnes> donvito-: if your ISP doesn't support native IPv6, you need a tunnel provided by a tunnel broker
[21:52] <firefly2442> Ookami: yes, you have to go in and select the subtitles
[21:52] <dath> after changing my vsftpd config it doesnt start properly anymore. ports are closed. is there any kind of debug log?
[21:52] <cabaro> ranjan: sudo apt-get install pidgin

[21:56] <zmoney> So I have a 200 gb harddrive where it is partitioned as 197gb for ubuntu 9.10, 2.7 gb says it contains logical partitions which is swap space. Can delete the swap space partition without messing anything up and create a partition from the 197gb to create a windows partition?

[22:04] <karma_police> i want to crossfade songs within a playlist
[22:04] <trism> paragonc: on jaunty it may have just been System/Preferences/Desktop Effects

[22:04] <SETKEH> any one know much about pulse audio ???
[22:04] <cabaro> ophil: ok then <a href="www.com">link</a> somthing like this maybe
[22:04] <rick__> i'm using 186 nvidia drivers but for some reason it doesn't seem like ubuntu 9.10 is using the hardware acceleration when viewing videos (dvd, youtube,etc..), as after a minute the fan kicks on high and the cpu is running at full speed.  is this normal?
[22:05] <Lokin> I just got a new 1tb drive for my computer. I installed it works fine but Now I want to transfer my account from my other harddrive onto the new one.
[22:05] <franc> !romanian
[22:05] <paragonc> hrmmm i dont have Desktop Effects anywhere
[22:06] <SETKEH> rick__, NO you have possibly installed the wrong card driver if you are sure its the right one and your on a slightly older machine try installing an older version  of you drver
[22:06] <Lokin> Any ideas?
[22:06] <rick__> setkeh thanks
[22:06] <SETKEH> rick__,  np :D
[22:06] <paragonc> comiz-config?
[22:06] <Lokin> How do you transfer accounts in Ubuntu?

[22:08] <karma_police> anyone familiar with audacious?
[22:08] <paragonc> is there an off button on one of these tabs?
[22:08] <legend2440> karma_police: i'm looking at rhythmbox under Preferences and that has crossfading option under Playback  i've never tried it though

[22:09] <leper_> hello
[22:09] <ophil> hi iceroot
[22:09] <leper_> i need help
[22:09] <leper_> how can i do a usb key to install ubuntu on a netbook??
[22:09] <Lokin> vlt: how?
[22:09] <karma_police> i may try that.. i've made a huige playlist for a party at my house and dont want to lose it.. i know winamp had a crossfade option but i cannot seem to find it in audacious
[22:09] <BLOODCLAW> theres a program...
[22:09] <iceroot> !usb | leper_
[22:09] <leper_> i have made one but i doesn't work
[22:09] <leper_> thank you guys
[22:09] <leper_> i will check
[22:10] <Skyjack99> yeah
[22:10] <vlt> Lokin: How what? What exactly do you want to do?
[22:10] <legend2440> karma_police: what does crossfading do?  make transition between songs smoother?
[22:11] <Lokin> I want to get my accoutn from my 500gb drive to my 1tb drive and then clear the 500gb.
[22:11] <Lokin> vlt^
[22:11] <paragonc> hrmmm i unchecked everything under ccsm still no vino
[22:11] <Aleoss> Best line of script ever: xinput set-button-map "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
[22:12] <paragonc> trism: System > Appearance > Visual Effects is set to None.
[22:12] <Lokin> vlt: How do I go about substituting the old home folder for the current one?
[22:12] <trism> paragonc: didn't help? I'm not sure then, that fixed it for me
[22:12] <vlt> Lokin: That sounds very unclear to me. Your "account" data is stored in /home/your-user-name.
[22:13] <bleepbloop> why am i having so much trouble with putting UNR on a USB stick?!?!
[22:13] <paragonc> trism: doing this helped : System > Appearance > Visual Effects is set to None.
[22:13] <trism> paragonc: so it did help?
[22:13] <paragonc> yes
[22:13] <Lokin> vlt: yes. But should I simply drag the old home folder over? and it will replace the current one?
[22:13] <paragonc> actually its a hell of allot more responsive than 8.10 was
[22:14] <cabaro> Lokin: copy the data from /home/account to the /new/drive/path then edit the mount point in /etc/fstab
[22:14] <vlt> Lokin: So you have a separate disk for /home/ ?
[22:14] <shadow98> where can i find libcurl-gnutls.so.4
[22:15] <trism> shadow98: libcurl3-gnutls
[22:16] <Lokin> vlt, cabaro: I have two sata drive. I just installed the new one but all my info is on the old one. I want to copy Everything(folders, drivers, porn, etc..) to the new drive most important things are the settings though.
[22:17] <dath> how can i replace windows carriage returns from notepad with the linux ones in a conf file? i tried in gedit but it doesnt work
[22:17] <vlt> Lokin: You want to move the whole system?
[22:17] <iceroot> dath: dos2unix file
[22:18] <shadow98> trism: says that package is already installed
[22:18] <SETKEH> lol the xchat laggometer cant make up its mind whether im pinging at <1ms or >10ms lol
[22:18] <cabaro> Lokin: if you want exact copy of the partition, then boot with livecd and copy with dd,       dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=1M
[22:18] <trism> shadow98: then it should be in /usr/lib/libcurl-gnutls.so.4
[22:19] <Lokin> vlt: No.. Although that would work best I imagine. I want my prefrences and themes back... Is there a better way than mirroring the drives?
[22:19] <Lokin> cabaro: copy with dd?
[22:19] <vlt> Lokin: Just copy /home
[22:19] <Lokin> cabaro: Boot into the os via disk then copy from one drive to the other from there?
[22:19] <iceroot> !clone | Lokin
[22:19] <Lokin> vlt:  I have.
[22:19] <zoke> How do I install ubuntu from a usb key ?
[22:19] <cabaro> Lokin: sda being the source and sdb the destination. you have to resize the partition afterwards (gparted)
[22:19] <vlt> Lokin: dd copies the whole disk or partition bit by bit.
[22:19] <Younder> iceroot, of just sed 's/\r\n/\n/g' file ( I think dos2unix needs to be apt-get'ed)
[22:19] <iceroot> Lokin: hm wrong one
[22:19] <kinja-sheep> !usb | zoke
[22:20] <JoeSomebody> Hello, i am running karmic, my win machines stopped seeing my shared ntfs, any way to fix without reboot?
[22:20] <Lokin> ubottu: This is all one box.
[22:20] <iceroot> Younder: correct
[22:20] <shadow98> trism: it is there but this game is saying it won't launch
[22:20] <guideX> Ubuntu 9.10 really runs like a dog under Dell 600m laptops
[22:20] <sweetprince> When I play audio using mplayer or any other audio playing app, my system freezes/kernel panics.  I believe it is due to pulseaudio.  How can I remove pulseaudio completely?
[22:20] <cabaro> Lokin:  can you paste :      fdisk -l
[22:20] <zoke> kinja-sheep it says I can't do it for 9.10
[22:20] <JoeSomebody> I assume rebooting the karmic box would do, but i would like to fix it
[22:20] <sweetprince> How can I configure audio to not use pulseaudio is what I meant to ask
[22:21] <sweetprince> audio==alsa
[22:21] <trism> shadow98: which game?
[22:21] <shadow98> xmoto
[22:21] <Lokin> cabaro: ?
[22:21] <kinja-sheep> zoke: That is a lie. I have installed Ubuntu Karmic from USB many times. The wiki may be outdated.
[22:22] <Lokin> vlt: and doing the dd would maintain the full 1tb partion even though it's being coppied from a smaller drive?
[22:22] <uffdaa> guideX:  i am using Crunchbang on my Dell 600 and it rocks
[22:22] <zoke> kinja-sheep, how do I do it then?
[22:22] <zoke> where is the tutorial
[22:22] <cabaro> Lokin: dd if=/dev/sd? of=/dev/sd?                      you need to know the device names
[22:22] <ZykoticK9> sweetprince, see http://paste.ubuntu.com/347808/
[22:22] <Aleoss> Noob question: What's the command for making a file? I tried mkfile and that didn't work.
[22:22] <BinaryMan> um, dd a drive to a smaller drive won't work.
[22:23] <casa> hi
[22:23] <LjL> Aleoss: touch filename
[22:23] <ZykoticK9> sweetprince, but I don't recommend removing Pulse - though I gave directions on how
[22:23] <cabaro> aleoss: touch filename
[22:23] <Aleoss> Thanks.
[22:23] <kinja-sheep> zoke: My method is a tad different as I use minimal instead of LiveCD but you should be able to achieve the same result. You have a fast Internet?
[22:23] <sweetprince> ZykoticK9, Why not?
[22:23] <dath>  i get this: 500 OOPS: SSL: cannot load RSA certificate. i thought vsftpd uses the ubuntu snakeoil cert by default?
[22:23] <Lokin> cabaro: Ok one sec I'm cathing up here.
[22:23] <zoke> kinja-sheep, reasonably fast
[22:23] <ZykoticK9> sweetprince, introduces other issues - no volume control on Panel for one
[22:23] <kinja-sheep> zoke: Okay. I'll help you walking through it. 32 or 64bit?
[22:23] <sweetprince> hmm
[22:23] <JoeSomebody> zoke: i am a newbie and i installed karmic from a usb stick, search netbootin
[22:24] <cabaro> Lokin: ok, im off for a 5min 'air'break at the balcony
[22:24] <Lokin> cabaro: enjoy.
[22:24] <bleepbloop> I have a question about formatting a USB stick for booting from it
[22:24] <JoeSomebody> I am running karmic, my win machines stopped seeing my shared ntfs, any way to fix without reboot? I assume rebooting the karmic box would do, but i would like to fix it, can anyone help?
[22:24] <Lokin> vlt: How do I determine which of these disks is the 1tb and which is the 500gb?
[22:24] <zoke> kinja-sheep 32bit
[22:24] <Lokin> vlt: in fdisk it doesn;t show.
[22:24] <zoke> kinja-sheep nvm
[22:24] <Nrbelex> Hi, (very new to this) I'm setting up an ampache server and attempting to add a catalog. I get the message "Catalog created Error: unable to open (the path I had)" --- How do I give the server access to the path with the stored music?
[22:24] <zoke> I found a website tool
[22:24] <`mOOse`> bleepbloop:  - you still having trouble?
[22:24] <vlt> Lokin: `fdisk -l` should tell you
[22:24] <zoke> http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
[22:24] <BinaryMan> Lokin: What you could do is dd if=/your/1tb/drive and pipe the output to bzip, creating a bzipped image of the partition.
[22:25] <kinja-sheep> zoke: Alright. :)
[22:25] <bleepbloop> `mOOse`: yeah
[22:25] <BinaryMan> or pbzip if you have a multi-core CPU.
[22:25] <BinaryMan> !info pbzip2
[22:25] <vlt> Lokin: You don't want what BinaryMan suggested
[22:25] <Lokin> vlt: I know,
[22:25] <`mOOse`> hmm
[22:25] <d9500> lokin, if you want to somewhat automate the process, see http://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/133012-easily-upgrade-any-hard-drive-with-linux. print the instructions out and use them as a reference when cloning the drive
[22:25] <Lokin> vlt: fdisk -l doesn't print anything
[22:26] <BinaryMan> Fine. Don't listen. When you lose data, please don't come in here expecting someone to have a solution to cover it.
[22:26] <ZykoticK9> Lokin, use "sudo fdisk -l"
[22:26] <shadow98> trism: any ideas
[22:26] <bleepbloop> `mOOse`: I formatted the USB stic for FAT32 and 32 kb and then used unetbootin to put UNR 9.10 on it and make it bootable
[22:26] <Lokin> good call
[22:26] <`mOOse`> ok
[22:26] <`mOOse`> then what
[22:26] <trism> shadow98: installing it now to check, kind of large so it's taking a minute
[22:26] <vlt> Lokin: You have to be root. For changing /home you should boot to "recovery mode" anyways (or boot a decent live cd)
[22:26] <bleepbloop> `mOOse`:and it doesnt take me to the menu
[22:26] <shadow98> trism: i installed it using djl
[22:26] <`mOOse`> I really think you need to fdisk first THEN format
[22:26] <bleepbloop> `mOOse`: I tried pendrive and that didnt work at all
[22:26] <Lokin> If I had my laptop this would be a bunch easier.
[22:27] <bleepbloop> `mOOse`:ohhhhhhh, I completely missed that fdisk thing
[22:27] <Paddy_NI> Hey is there anyway to turn off icon labels in docky (gnome-do) ?
[22:27] <`mOOse`> bleepbloop: that's only for the desktop live cd version, you know that right?
[22:27] <guideX> `mOOse`: I got my laptop working with that tutorial
[22:27] <bleepbloop> `mOOse`: what is only for the desktop live version
[22:27] <vlt> Lokin: It's hard to understand what you exactly want to do (what laptop?!?) ...
[22:27] <shadow98> trism: http://www.dedoimedo.com/games/linux-million-games.html
[22:27] <`mOOse`> the pendrive installation apps
[22:27] <`mOOse`> excellent guideX
[22:27] <`mOOse`> :)
[22:27] <cabaro> Lokin: you needto be very sure that 'if' is the source and 'of' is the destination
[22:27] <bleepbloop> i think i figured that out cause pendrive doesnt work
[22:28] <Zelest> I'm running Ubuntu Server 9.10 and use it as a KVM host, together with libvirt. I'm curious how to do a somewhat more graceful shutdown? Right now it seems like a shutdown of the host system instantly kills the kvm processes and simply "pulling the plug" for the VM's .. can this be avoided/fixed somehow?
[22:28] <JoeSomebody> I am running karmic, my win machines stopped seeing my shared ntfs, any way to fix without reboot? I assume rebooting the karmic box would do, but i would like to fix it, can anyone help?
[22:28] <cabaro> !dd
[22:28] <trism> shadow98: it is in the repos (in karmic anyway), did you install it from there?
[22:28] <bleepbloop> but ive heard of cases in whihc people used netbootin for UNR on the same machine as i am using
[22:28] <shadow98> trism: no
[22:28] <trism> shadow98: sudo apt-get install xmoto (seems to run fine)
[22:28] <seven> hia
[22:28] <guideX> `mOOse`: did you run into the same problem again, or do you lock down that file somehow
 :  could try sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart
[22:28] <`mOOse`> which problem is that guideX?
[22:28] <Lokin> vlt: sorry, just ignore that. I'm running on an unaultered ubuntu and hate the color scheme, it screws with me a little too much. and here, got the drive names (http://pastebin.com/m7de1d549)
[22:28] <trism> shadow98: I would try it from there, unless you require a newer version for some reason
[22:28] <BinaryMan> JoeSomebody: is samba -- nevermind.
[22:29] <Aleoss> How do I execute a script through bash?
[22:29] <bleepbloop> `mOOse`: how do I do fdisk?
[22:29] <Lokin> vlt: and if I had my laptop I could boot sum on this computer and get it does that way.
[22:29] <JoeSomebody> uffdaa, thx will try
[22:29] <Lokin> vlt: while still talkign to you guys.
[22:29] <cabaro> aleoss: sh ./scriptname
[22:29] <Lokin> vlt: ok so can I do dd while logged in? or do I need to get on a live disk?
[22:29] <ZykoticK9> Aleoss, "sh script.sh" or make it executable "chmod +x script.sh" then just "./script.sh"
[22:30] <colemickens> How would I make a symlink that would let me take the contents of /x/*.* and symlink them into /x/y/z/*.*
[22:30] <bredoto> does anyone know how to automatical deploy a lot of ubuntu boxes? Does Ubuntu allow a way of automatical deploymend like Zenwork Imaging?
[22:30] <vlt> Lokin: I need more details. Where is your current /home for example?
[22:30] <hat> what is the apple channel ?
[22:30] <JoeSomebody> uffdaa, that did it thanks very much :)
[22:30] <`mOOse`> bleepbloop: in that partition program I pasted you - you have to right click on the flashdrive and choose DELETE - that deletes the partition on there, then you have to right click on it again, and CREATE a new (primary) partition on it
[22:30] <`mOOse`> takes 10 seconds
[22:30] <odinsbane> colemickens: you can use ln -S (I forgot the order of the targets/source) and use absolute directories.
[22:31] <`mOOse`> then you can also format it from there too
[22:31] <cabaro> colemickens: ln -s /x /x/y/z
[22:31] <trism> shadow98: there seems to be an ubuntu deb on the xmoto site if you really need the latest and greatest
[22:31] <bleepbloop> `mOOse`:ah, sorry I'm such a noob! :(
[22:31] <BluesKaj> colemickens, ln -s /x/*.*   /x/y/z/*.*
[22:31] <guideX> bredoto: why not make an image with norton ghost or something and then image the machines you want to use
[22:31] <`mOOse`> it's ok lol
[22:31] <bredoto> colemickens, for i in *; do ln -s /x/$i /x/y/$i; done
[22:31] <`mOOse`> I am too!
[22:31] <chrisdone> I have a logitech quickcam. used to work in ubuntu, since intrepid it is completely broken. is there a fix?
[22:32] <trism> shadow98: actually, just noticed it is the same version in the repo, so you're really better off with that
[22:32] <Lokin> vlt: ok, let me give you a run down. I built this computer. I could only afford a 500gb at the time and have all my stuff on that.(so home is where is should be[/home]) then I got this new drive, installed it. and then installed Ubuntu onto it.(Unaltered ubuntu with home in /)
[22:32] <manoelufscar> Hi. I'm using ubuntu 9.10 with a ATI X300 graphic Card. After instaling the system everything works great, but a tried to install the drivers for my card and now I only can use vesa resolution... Please anyone know how to return to the older graphics configuration? OR http://pastebin.com/d73c116d8
[22:32] <cabaro> colemickens: ln -s /x/y/z /x
[22:32] <BLOODCLAW> .
[22:32] <bleepbloop> `mOOse`:whenever i open that partition program, I'm not quite sure which is my USB stick
[22:32] <cabaro> colemickens: bredoto got it
[22:32] <bleepbloop> `mOOse`: and i dont want to fry the computer in the process accidentially
[22:32] <`mOOse`> bleepbloop: look at the size
[22:32] <Bax> so there is no way to import or open Outlook (2003 or newer) .pst files in Ubuntu?
[22:32] <bleepbloop> lol
[22:32] <`mOOse`> how big is your flashdrive?
[22:33] <vlt> Lokin: Aah, so your already running from the new drive on sda, right?
[22:33] <`mOOse`> it should be a discrete drive too - not a part of another drive
[22:33] <bleepbloop> `mOOse`: well it is supposed to be 8 GB, bu in this app it lists one that has 10 GB capacity and has 7 GB used
[22:33] <Lokin> vlt ya.

[22:33] <vlt> Lokin: btw, if you were using LVM this would be soooo much easier ;-)
[22:34] <Lokin> vlt: LVM?
[22:34] <bleepbloop> `mOOse`: nah this is a Eeepc 1005
[22:34] <`mOOse`> oh yea ok
[22:34] <vlt> !lvm | Lokin
[22:34] <`mOOse`> does that even have a hd?
[22:34] <vlt> Lokin: Ok, so you want your "old" settings ans stuff "back" , right?
[22:34] <bleepbloop> nah
[22:34] <`mOOse`> or am I thinking of another eepc with just ssd
[22:35] <`mOOse`> ok, so then you can't delete the wrong partition because there isn't one!
[22:35] <Lokin> vlt:ya. andl I'm going to partion the 500gb drive and install another os
[22:35] <bleepbloop> well i can see in the app which are the important things not to touch

[22:36] <Lokin> vlt: recovery mode on sda?
[22:37] <Paddy_NI> vlt, you may have uncleanly shutdown windows or not run a chkdsk.. you will have to force mount it
[22:37] <vlt> Lokin: The problem is: When you are logged in it is not recommended to overwrite your home dir with old data.
[22:37] <gui7> ello
[22:37] <bredoto> wtf
[22:37] <Lokin> vlt: ok.. how do I boot into root on ttyl?

[22:38] <gui7> i'd like to auto-replace certain strings i type - ie, often ill type "liek" and "teh" by accident, and i'd like those to be auto-replaced by ubuntu (no matter which program i'm on). is there any way to do this?
[22:38] <bleepbloop> `mOOse`: is that a bad idea?
[22:38] <bredoto> how about automatic ubuntu deployment?
[22:38] <CrocoJet> ops sorry
[22:38] <`mOOse`> not to my way of thinking bleepbloop ;-)
[22:38] <guideX> is there something like task manager for ubuntu
[22:39] <hellyes_> how do I run a .bin file?
[22:39] <Paddy_NI> guideX, system-monitor
[22:39] <bredoto> I cant use ghost or somethink like that becouse of large quantity of hosts
[22:39] <guideX> why not
[22:39] <vlt> Lokin: Ubuntu normally has nor root pw set. I'd recommend running `sudo passwd` to set one, then press ctrl+alt+F1 to get a tty login and log in as root.
[22:39] <Paddy_NI> guideX, to be more precise "gnome-system-monitor"
[22:39] <Aleoss> Why isn't this command working in bash? wine start "Steam" "/home/aross/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/Steam/Steam.exe"
[22:39] <odinsbane> hellyes_: make it executeable
[22:39] <guideX> Paddy_NI Thanks
[22:40] <Paddy_NI> guideX, or type "top" in a terminal.. "htop" is also very nice
[22:40] <minimec> hellyes_: make it executable an run it with ./yourfile
[22:40] <vlt> Lokin: Come back to the "desktop" with ctrl+alt+F7
[22:40] <Aleoss> I even tried it without the "Steam" in there
[22:40] <Lokin> vlt: ok. one sec
[22:40] <hellyes_> odinsbane: how do I make it executable?
[22:40] <guideX> bredoto you make an image for each computer type, then use a usb floppy to boot from, install the image
[22:40] <hellyes_> it is on my desktop btw
[22:40] <gui7> i'd like to auto-replace certain strings i type - ie, often ill type "liek" and "teh" by accident, and i'd like those to be auto-replaced by ubuntu (no matter which program i'm on). is there any way to do this?
[22:40] <guideX> it takes like 10 minutes to install the image
[22:40] <ZykoticK9> Aleoss, tried "wine /home/aross/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/Steam/Steam.exe" ?
[22:41] <odinsbane> hellyes_: right click on it , go to properties and permissions
[22:41] <bleepbloop> `mOOse`: uh oh, if i delete a partition it should delete everything on it right?
[22:41] <ZykoticK9> Aleoss, that path is wrong!  there is no "c:"!!!
[22:41] <Aleoss> ZykoticK9: That doesn't work either.
[22:41] <`mOOse`> yes bleepbloop gone forever
[22:41] <bleepbloop> `mOOse`: I may have just deleted a partition on something that's not my usb stick haha
[22:41] <Aleoss> ZykoticK9: Err... ya there is...
[22:41] <bredoto> guideX, How can i deploy additional software pack on some of them in later time if it will be needed?
[22:42] <`mOOse`> you *can* undelete but you need a live cd like tinyxp christmas edition with hirens on it
[22:42] <Lokin> vlt: ok. so then do.. dd /dev/sda /dev/sdb
[22:42] <vlt> Lokin: No
[22:42] <bleepbloop> `mOOse`: I just clicked 'undo'
[22:42] <Lokin> vlt: Lol. ok.
[22:42] <bleepbloop> `mOOse`: all is fine once again
[22:42] <vlt> Lokin: That would delete all you old data
[22:42] <hellyes_> odinsbane: ok.  I selected "allow executing file as program", but it is still a .bin file and it won't run if I click on it...
[22:42] <Aleoss> ZykoticK9: me@my-computer:~/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/Steam$
[22:43] <ZykoticK9> Aleoss, you're right!  try using "wine /home/aross/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Steam/Steam.exe"
[22:43] <odinsbane> hellyes_: you have to change the permission too.
[22:43] <vlt> Lokin: Did logging in as root work?
[22:43] <bleepbloop> `mOOse`: if this USB stick isnt showing up on the app, how do i get it in there?
[22:43] <Lokin> vlt: ya.
[22:43] <bredoto> guideX, as i understand there is now software for automatical image deployment from canonical?
[22:43] <gidna> Hi
[22:43] <Aleoss> ZykoticK9: No dice.
[22:43] <gidna> You have found a bug in a map. Please contact the author and tell the /usr/share/kde4/apps/kgeography/africa.kgm map has nothing associated to color 0,48,57.
[22:43] <`mOOse`> if it isn't then...you have to set the flip bit....hehe...let's see here
[22:43] <Jad-J> hey quick I need help
[22:43] <imlad> question - when trying to run ls on an NTFS volumen I mounted I get "ls: reading directory .: Input/output error"  any thoughts?
[22:43] <gidna> can you contact him for me?
[22:43] <ZykoticK9> Aleoss, but you'll probably need quotes around it like -- wine "/home/aross/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Steam/Steam.exe"
[22:44] <Jad-J> something went wrong.. I couldn't move my mouse..
[22:44] <odinsbane> hellyes_: from the terminal go to where that file is.
[22:44] <Aleoss> ZykoticK9: It's saying that Wine isn't installed. But it is.
[22:44] <Jad-J> so I clicked: ctrl F4 F4
[22:44] <Aleoss> I installed it from the PPA.
[22:44] <Jad-J> im using irssi from there.. how can I get back to my desktop?
[22:44] <Jad-J> (I killed some proccesses)
[22:44] <hellyes_> ok
[22:44] <`mOOse`> bleepbloop: http://www.pendriveapps.com/lexar-usb-flip-the-removable-media-bit-tool/
[22:44] <odinsbane> hellyes_: if I do that and I double click on it I get asked about running the file.
[22:44] <Aleoss> Oh wait... it did delete it :O
[22:44] <vlt> Lokin: So logout on tty7. Then you'll be disconnected from this channel. So I could either tell you everything now or you just login from tty1 using irssi for example.
[22:44] <Aleoss> That's messed
[22:44] <minimec> Jad-J: <alt>F7
[22:44] <Jad-J> PLLZ HELP IDON'T WANT TO LOSE MY FILES
[22:44] <ZykoticK9> Aleoss, does "wine --version" work?
[22:44] <Jad-J> minimec: thanks a lot
[22:44] <odinsbane> hellyes_: type ls -l yourfilename.bin
[22:44] <bredoto> Jad-J, /quit
[22:45] <Jad-J> but
[22:45] <Aleoss> ZykoticK9: I just tested that... it isn't :( It somehow decided to uninstall itself.
[22:45] <Jad-J> there's something still
[22:45] <Jad-J> not responding..
[22:45] <hellyes_> ok
[22:45] <vlt> Lokin: `aptitide install irssi; irssi -c irc.freenode.net`
[22:45] <Jad-J> I selected 3 images.. and I was going to move them..
[22:45] <Jad-J> the cursor changed to the hand..
[22:45] <Jad-J> and I can't click on anything..
[22:45] <bleepbloop> `mOOse`: ahhh thank you so much! (again)
[22:45] <manoelufscar> Hi. I'm using ubuntu 9.10 with a ATI X300 graphic Card. After instaling the system everything works great, but a tried to install the drivers for my card and now I only can use vesa resolution... Please anyone know how to return to the older graphics configuration? OR http://pastebin.com/d73c116d8
[22:45] <odinsbane> hellyes_: if it is executeabl then go ahead and type ./yourile.bin
[22:46] <morph3us> hi.. i want to change my /home encrypt paraphrase.. how can i do that? please help me
[22:46] <gui7> i'd like to auto-replace certain strings i type - ie, often ill type "liek" and "teh" by accident, and i'd like those to be auto-replaced by ubuntu (no matter which program i'm on). is there any way to do this?
[22:46] <bleepbloop> haha sorry I'm so utterly incompetent at this :-P
[22:46] <Lokin> vlt: logout from tty7? as in logout from the gui?
[22:46] <Jad-J> minimec: ?
[22:46] <Jad-J> bredoto: ?
[22:46] <hellyes_> ok.  It's extracting files now..
[22:46] <vlt> Lokin: Yes. I'd recommend logging out before restoring you rold data
[22:46] <Jad-J> should I pkill .. what?
[22:46] <`mOOse`> does that make sense to you? you need to dload that pgm and change the flip bit so it looks like a regular hd
[22:46] <Lokin> vlt: go to login screen and the alt+ctrl+f1
[22:46] <mrpinky> hi :D how can i install my own library to the system, so that it can be linked by other applications? i.e. is there a standard directory i can copy it to, then run ldconfig?
[22:46] <bleepbloop> yeah that makes sense
[22:47] <Jad-J> ???????????????????
[22:47] <bleepbloop> now I'm just wondering what I deleted the partition on :-P
[22:47] <`mOOse`> I thought you undid it
[22:47] <vlt> Lokin: Yes. Have you installed irssi already?
[22:47] <sda> Another question! When I start synaptic or something need sudo pw a nice windows popups. Can I use this windows for my script?
[22:47] <morph3us> hi.. i want to change my /home encrypt paraphrase.. how can i do that? please help me
[22:47] <odinsbane> mrpinky: I'm going to take a guess, I think /usr/lib and /usr/include is where your headers go.
[22:47] <Guest43664> hey guys im trying to run karmic on my mac book 1.1 and i can't get the fan to work and the processor temp is way up on idle.

[22:48] <LjL> Jad-J: can you explain your issue in detail and in one line?
[22:48] <odinsbane> mrpinky: you can also use th LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable
[22:48] <Zcout> hello all
[22:48] <Lokin> vlt: no one sec..
[22:48] <ZykoticK9> Aleoss, "apt-cache policy wine" if it's not installed then "sudo apt-get install wine"
[22:48] <LjL> Jad-J: i don't know if i can help, but i'm really not going to if i have to read your question scattered among a dozen messages which are on their turn lost in the scrolling.

[22:50] <odinsbane> hellyes_: I would guess the default options are fine then.
[22:50] <Guest43664> can anyone offer advice on the fan macbook 1.1
[22:50] <LjL> Jad-J: perhaps nautilus
[22:50] <Jad-J> okay then should I create it again? how

[22:51] <Jad-J> thanks
[22:51] <Jad-J> bye ill try it
[22:51] <Alloosh1> odinsbane: ye4s, did not work, so I removed fedora, now I just want to ue ubuntu
[22:51] <`mOOse`> Ok I didn't want to get the klown hammer out ;-)
[22:52] <Guest43664> help with karmic, macbook 1.1 fan 0 rpms
[22:52] <odinsbane> Alloosh1: do you know what hard drive you os is on?
[22:52] <gui7> can anyone please help me with this?: i'd like to auto-replace certain strings i type - ie, often ill type "liek" and "teh" by accident, and i'd like those to be auto-replaced by ubuntu (no matter which program i'm on). is there any way to do this?
[22:53] <Alloosh1> I have only one hard drive,
[22:53] <sda> @ LjL gksu or gksudo work like synaptic but the comand doesn't work. (echo 1 | gksu tee /sys/devices/platform/asus_laptop/bluetooth)
[22:53] <Alloosh1> and one partition
[22:53] <Alloosh1> odinsbane:
[22:53] <benc1> how do I set static LAN IP?
[22:53] <Lokintwo> vlt: Oi.
[22:53] <bleepbloop> ah
[22:54] <LjL> sda: the command looks correct to me though.
[22:54] <odinsbane> Alloosh1: I dont' have grub-2 where did it fail for you?
[22:54] <bleepbloop> `mOOse`: this think is so obnoxious, makes me thankful I have a mac to work on
[22:54] <sda> with sudo works perfect
[22:54] <vlt> Lokintwo: Ok.
[22:54] <bleepbloop> `mOOse`: this thing*
[22:54] <`mOOse`> well....macs run freebsd!!!
[22:54] <odinsbane> did the grub-install work okay?
[22:54] <sda> @ LjL with sudo works perfect
[22:54] <cab_> !ifconfig
[22:54] <vlt> LoYou are logged in as root only?
[22:54] <Lokintwo> vlt: so log out?
[22:54] <`mOOse`> you just aren't aware of it cause they actually PAY people to do this for you!
[22:54] <vlt> Lokintwo: Yes, logout
[22:55] <gui7> is there any way to get ubuntu to automatically substitute certain strings for otehr strings when typed in?
[22:55] <marco> Hi! i have two directories with the same. I have modified some file in one of them. How to synchronize via xterm?
[22:55] <paragonc> hrmmm so i just updated to karmic - looks like i dont have any audio :(
[22:55] <Lokintwo> vlt: ok. I might have to go in a second.
[22:55] <Alloosh1> odinsbane: in the guide you gave me I had to use grub, which I did, and now cant boot
[22:55] <odinsbane> marco: xterm isn't the right app for that.
[22:55] <kinja-sheep> gui7: Correct yourself. Type the and like.
[22:55] <Lokintwo> vlt: but I logged out and logged in as root in ttl1
[22:55] <unop> marco, you'd use something like rsync in your shell
[22:55] <Lokintwo> ttly
[22:56] <bleepbloop> `mOOse`: haha yeah, I was actually looking at FreeBSD but I don't want to put anything else on here until I'm better versed in computers :-P
[22:56] <odinsbane> Alloosh1: right you boot from the live cd and then you run grub-install .
[22:56] <gui7> kinja-sheep, i do try, but it's often hard. plus it's an interesting challenge to get to know some parts of linux im not quite familair with (yet!)
[22:57] <vlt> Lokintwo: `mv /home/yourname /home/yourname.old`
[22:57] <kinja-sheep> gui7: Pidgin / OpenOffice can do this. Anything else I don't know about.
[22:57] <odinsbane> Alloosh1: are you at the grub prompt now?
[22:57] <Alloosh1> odinsbane: yes
[22:57] <vlt> Lokintwo: `mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/`
[22:57] <marcel__> Can anyone tell me a page where I can get a list of notebooks that work out of the box with karmic?
[22:58] <marco> odinsbane: I don't trust 'merge' in nautilus, I guess?
[22:58] <sda> @ LjL if I launch gksu ./bt.sh (bt.sh is the name of the script) works well but i want do everything with only ./bt.sh
[22:58] <nikolaj_basher> someone who know anything about  PostgreSQL
[22:58] <gui7> kinja-sheep, i was looking at some a little "lower-layer", so that it'd work in any program - basically, when i typed the certain string in it'd modify it before pasisng it - a little like a keylogger which changed the strings, really
[22:58] <vlt> Lokintwo: `mv /mnt/home/yourname /home/`
[22:58] <odinsbane> Alloosh1: try find /boot/grub/core.img
[22:58] <marco> unop: thk I takes a look
[22:59] <odinsbane> marco: I haven't looked into it.  I use rsync.
[22:59] <minimec> marcel__: Generally I would say that Lenovo (ThinkPad) and HP's are working good with any Linux distribution.
[22:59] <Alloosh1> odinsbane: file not found
[22:59] <Lokintwo> vlt: Shit I need to go. But I'll be back in a few minutes, the last one is working
[22:59] <vlt> Lokintwo: Thast will move the data from the old 500 GB disk's partition to the new one.
[22:59] <BLOODCLAW> how do i get timestamps for xchat
[22:59] <unop> sda, as a rule of the thumb - use gksu/gksudo with graphical applications and su/sudo with non-GUI apps
[22:59] <marco> odinsbane: :)
[22:59] <kinja-sheep> gui7: Have fun playing with "xev" in terminal but yeah, correct yourself. It'll pay off in the long run.
[23:00] <paragonc> hrmm its not throwing any errors for audio
[23:00] <marcel__> minimec: Do you know specific notebook models that work? I would like to be shure before spending money.
[23:00] <gui7> kinja-sheep, thanks i'll look into that :)
[23:00] <kinja-sheep> BLOODCLAW: Settings --> Preferences. (Assuming you're using xchat, not xchat-gnome)
[23:00] <paragonc> profile is set to analog stereo duplix
[23:00] <bleepbloop> `mOOse`: okay, stupid secruity app on the netbook wont let me look at the site, and my emails wont let me email it to myself
[23:00] <kinja-sheep> !hardware | marcel__
[23:01] <bleepbloop> `mOOse`: what the heck
[23:01] <SoftwareExplorer> I'm working on writing a how to. I would like to put it on a wiki so it can be edited. should I put it on help.ubuntu.com or wiki.ubuntu.com?
[23:01] <`mOOse`> hmm
[23:01] <minimec> marcel__: Have a look at this ... http://tuxmobil.org/
[23:01] <odinsbane> Alloosh1: try rebooting from the live cd.
[23:01] <kinja-sheep> BLOODCLAW: No problem.
[23:01] <bleepbloop> `mOOse`:  I'm uninstalling the secruity app as we speak
[23:01] <`mOOse`> are you talking about pendrive or imgur.com?
[23:02] <sda> @ unop : I want make a fast botton for start and stop bluetooh fast. Because I need gksudo\gksu or can disable the ask of sudo with a group?
[23:02] <paragonc> under users & Groups - under Use Audio Devices - my user doesnt have a check
[23:02] <paragonc> but its greyed out
[23:02] <kinja-sheep> BLOODCLAW: Please keep it in here instead of private message. The highlight will work when somebody highlight you on your nickname.
[23:02] <bleepbloop> `mOOse`: neither, I'm talking about the app that wont let me look at the site to get the app to flip the usb thing
[23:02] <morph3us> hi.. i want to change my /home encrypt paraphrase.. how can i do that? please help me
[23:02] <Aleoss> How come the tutorial at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1310844 worked perfectly then all of a sudden it doesn't work now when I do: xinput set-button-map "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
[23:02] <Aleoss> Like it sets the map of it all to 0s but it isn't actually disabling it now.
[23:03] <Wunderbar> how would i make rtorrent the default torrent client from the terminal?
