[00:00] <tony> This is just great. I upgraded to Gutsy and it destroyed my laptop.
[00:00] <bruenig> casey_, a de is a bit more than just gui
[00:00] <eyeR> GenNMX: If I could install dmraid again right here, i think i could get it to boot to my partition
[00:00] <tony> Nice distro!
[00:00] <murkyMurk> Lunks: I'm not sure I understand....all folders look the same in my file browser
[00:00] <sco50000> when i log into my fresh install of gutsy, HAL is failing to initialize
[00:00] <bruenig> tony, that is what discrete releases do to you
[00:00] <honeking> okay, so noone knows how to fix the sound issue?
[00:00] <sco50000> please help
[00:00] <casey_> Fryguy: do I just use apt-get and install xfce if I would want to?  is it very different from GNOME?
[00:00] <lauchazombie> bmk789, is there any irc channel?
[00:00] <murkyMurk> honeking: try reinstalling asla
[00:00] <bmk789> lauchazombie: #ubuntu-motu
[00:00] <GenNMX> eyeR: Do it from a rescue CD, seems like your only choice.
[00:01] <tony> bruenig: So why offer them?
[00:01] <bruenig> casey_, yes, far better
[00:01] <Leftmost> jrib, I hadn't seen those. I guess I'm just used to hand-editing. Thanks.
[00:01] <Techrev> I have no idea why its assuming I'm going to use xinerama..
[00:01] <GenNMX> eyeR: I did my RAIDs using mdadm manually. No experience with dmraid.
[00:01] <Fryguy--> casey_: yes it's quite different, and yes you can just install it like that
[00:01] <bruenig> tony, don't know, there are rolling release distros though, you may prefer those
[00:01] <hajiki> hey after the Gutsy update a new item called "Other" appeared in the Application menu. This other menu is filled with items from a Preferences menu, but they are KDE apps. Can someone explain me why those things are there?????
[00:01] <bruenig> casey_, I believe it is xfce4 though
[00:01] <honeking> murkyMurk: I tried reinstalling alsa, do you think i should completely remove alsa and install again?
[00:01] <bruenig> !info xfce4
[00:01] <ubotu> xfce4: Meta-package for the Xfce Lightweight Desktop Environment. In component universe, is optional. Version 4.4.1 (gutsy), package size 5 kB, installed size 48 kB
[00:01] <bruenig> indeed
[00:01] <casey_> bruenig:  not to be annoying, but what about it is so far better?  is that just personal opinion?
[00:01] <Lunks> murkyMurk: I'd like to know where my themes are located =P
[00:01] <hafez> hi all, I want to change the setting for apache to allowed browsing  user home directory somthing like that http://localhost/~hafez/public_html on ubuntu 7.04 apache2
[00:01] <Lunks> I've searched then with no luck
[00:01] <bruenig> casey_, lighter, quicker, better features, easier, and so forth
[00:02] <bruenig> casey_, no registry, got to hate the registry
[00:02] <Stormx2> hajiki: Disable it if you don't want it. Right click "applications" and choose "edit menus". Uncheck the checkbox next to "Other"
[00:02] <astro76> casey_, xfce is much more lightweight and much less featured than gnome or kde, it's usually only used by people with low-spec systems
[00:02] <sco50000> can someone help me fix this big problem? HAL is failing to initialize when i log into gutsy
[00:02] <hajiki> Stormx2: oh thanks
[00:02] <bruenig> astro76, has more features than gnome
[00:02] <honeking> Lunks: are you using Gutsy?
[00:02] <murkyMurk> Lunks: ahh themes are in /usr/share/themes and normally edited through System->Preferences->Appearance
[00:02] <Lunks> honeking: yes
[00:02] <Stormx2> hafez: Ah, there is certainly a package for that in synaptic. Search for "apache" and have a look through, I can't remember its name
[00:02] <tony> Can anyone help me out? I can't boot up my laptop after upgrading to gutsy.
[00:02] <overridex> when using encryption for the root partition in gutsy, where's the file that asks for the passphrase... i assume it's a script somewhere
[00:02] <bruenig> astro76, where is the feature to bind a command to a key combination?
[00:02] <jared> stupid question i'm in sudo su how do I get out of it
[00:02] <casey_> astro76: so basically it isnt as pretty as GNOME or KDE?
[00:02] <Fryguy--> man i've been in here for a few hours helping people.   I've checked all through synaptic and all the SSL components look like they're there. Any help?
[00:03] <sco50000> can someone help me fix this big problem? HAL is failing to initialize when i log into gutsy, and i can only boot in recovery mode
[00:03] <eyeR> GenNMX: Never heard of mdadm until some research I did earlier today. I'll look into it more, I suppose. By "rescue CD" do you mean the "alternate CD"?
[00:03] <murkyMurk> honeking: that's what i'd do...i take it that it worked fine in fiesty?
[00:03] <Fryguy--> casey_: there's more to a desktop environment than "pretty" but yes that's part of it
[00:03] <Stormx2> jared: "exit" methinks
[00:03] <jared> didn't work
[00:03] <Lunks> murkyMurk: But some of my themes are not appearing when running as root, so it mustn't be in /usr/share, or it'd appear... at least, I think so. :P
[00:03] <jared> root@jared-desktop:~/Desktop# exit
[00:03] <jared> exit
[00:03] <jared> root@jared-desktop:~/Desktop#
[00:03] <honeking> Lunks: murkyMurk just answered it, but it's in System>Preferences>Appearances
[00:03] <Stormx2> hhp21: www.pidgin.im they have a whole FAQ dedicated to SSL stuff ;D
[00:03] <arooni_> anyone know how to make fonts look better in firefox?  they look not so good
[00:03] <casey_> Its an easy switch BACK to GNOME if I would want to right? so its no big deal to install and play around with it?
[00:03] <murkyMurk> Lunks: don't run as root
[00:03] <bruenig> casey_, it uses gtk, so anything you can get going in gnome as far as aesthetics you can get going in xfce
[00:04] <tony> People, help me out! Do I need to reinstall?
[00:04] <honeking> murkyMurk: it worked until I installed a few things in synaptic that were graphics related
[00:04] <Stormx2> jared: Are you running as root or did you do a "su -" or "sudo -s" or similar?
[00:04] <hhp21> ooh.. Thanks Stormx2 =D
[00:04] <jared> I ran sudo su
[00:04] <Stormx2> jared: Right.
[00:04] <Stormx2> !root | jared
[00:04] <ubotu> jared: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[00:04] <murkyMurk> honeking: have you been able to run alsamix from the CLi?
[00:04] <sco50000> can someone help me fix this big problem? HAL is failing to initialize when i log into gutsy, and i can only boot in recovery mode
[00:04] <Stormx2> jared: Check there. It's listed how to get out of it.
[00:04] <sco50000> please help!
[00:04] <kst-> where is the script for a normal non-xgl gnome session stored? i wanna run 2 sessions (one with xgl and compiz and one without xgl for games) at the same time but right now i dont have a windows decorator on 2nd session :(
[00:04] <honeking> murkyMurk: no
[00:04] <stinger05> hi, im in the live cd now, but it's still on the detecting filesystems part while installing,,,it's stuck on it meaning it's not progressing, what can i do ?
[00:04] <murkyMurk> honeking: *a;samixer
[00:04] <Stormx2> !repeat | sco50000
[00:04] <SlimG> Could anyone with gutsy do this search for me and tell me where the file is located?:   find /lib/modules/$(uname -r) -name "snd-hda-intel.ko"
[00:04] <ubotu> sco50000: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[00:04] <chaplan> i have installed gutsy and can't use kopete, error kills app
[00:05] <Stormx2> stinger05: How long have you waited?
[00:05] <stinger05> 45 minutes :S
[00:05] <murkyMurk> honeking: is that no you haven't tried or no it doesn't work?
[00:05] <bruenig> casey_, http://i23.tinypic.com/118gjdw.png
[00:05] <Fryguy--> SlimG: /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/ubuntu/media/snd-hda-intel/snd-hda-intel.ko
[00:05] <sco50000> saying "!repeat | sco50000" doesn't help me much
[00:05] <stinger05> but the system is still running
[00:05] <Techrev> In case someone with the same prob comes in, disabling xgl did the trick..  Its set to use xinerama, and when you dont' have xinerama configured in xorg.conf it gets pissy, and only can use 1 monitor..
[00:05] <honeking> murkyMurk: when i try to run alsamixer, it spits out this message in terminal: "alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device"
[00:05] <sco50000> it spams up the channel more than i do
[00:05] <pitonpissr> anyone else having problems with SAMBA after Gutsy upgrade
[00:05] <SlimG> Fryguy--: thanks a bunch :)
[00:06] <kc> is there some cosmetic software that allows you to customize your desktop???
[00:06] <chaplan> i have installed gutsy and can't use kopete, error kills application, anyone with the same problem?
[00:06] <kst-> is there a way to install Kile (KDE editor) without installing all kinds of KDE packages? i'm using gutsy + gnome
[00:06] <Lunks> murkyMurk: I'll try to be clearer: I want to match my root windows with my user window controls. I installed most of my themes through gnome-appearance-properties, using the install button. As it didn't ask for my password, I assume it is on my home dir, or it'd sudoed gnome-appearance-properties. I tried to run gnome-appearance-properties as sudo in order to change my super-user theme, but the themes I wanted weren't there.
[00:06] <Fryguy--> kst-: no
[00:06] <Redleer> hmm how to update radeon drivers?
[00:06] <sco50000> can someone help me fix this big problem? HAL is failing to initialize when i log into gutsy, and i can only boot in recovery mode
[00:06] <murkyMurk> honeking: ouch, looks like the device files no longer exist. Yep reinstall alsa...there might be a reconfigure, thingy
[00:06] <honeking> murkyMurk: also, when I go to System>Preferences>Sound there is no default sound card in the drop down menu
[00:06] <Xacarith> ok, any one, I keep getting an error saying 'Can't guess meta-package'  Why/?  Follows by saying it does not contain any of the ubuntu desktops as well it can't tell what version of ubuntu I'm using
[00:06] <Stormx2> sco50000: Read what ubotu put. Please follow the rules.
[00:06] <astro76> sco50000, eventually they'll stop !repeat'ing and start kicking
[00:06] <vocx> bruenig, ah you are on xcfe. But ugly colors in xchat, you should have a dark theme, it's easier on the eyes.
[00:06] <jrib> sco50000: wait at least 15 minutes before repeating please
[00:06] <Skratz0r> Did i ever leave? :O
[00:07] <honeking> murkyMurk: i know that alsa is tied in with a bunch of other programs, would i have to delete all of them as well?
[00:07] <murkyMurk> Lunks:  all themes are /usr/shares/themes/
[00:07] <kc> i guess what i am really asking is when i was running windows ( i know sad) i could go to download.com and get stuff to help me personalize the desktop is there a site like that for ubuntu???
[00:07] <Skratz0r> I just turned my comp on sleep. xD
[00:07] <Skratz0r> Cya dudes
[00:07] <Lunks> murkyMurk: Then how come when I run as sudo, some themes I'm using don't show there?
[00:07] <murkyMurk> honeking: alsa shoudl be an indepenent module...others depend on it but not it on them
[00:07] <Stormx2> Lunks: Ah! I know what you mean!
[00:07] <bruenig> vocx, my terminal is dark, that is where my eyes are most of the time, the colors in xchat are just the default, help delineate people, haven't put much effort into it
[00:07] <lauchazombie> kc, depens on you desktop environment
[00:07] <stinger05> stormx2: what can i do?  im installing it dual-boot with windows XP, does it usually take that long when i have a 200GB HD with data ?
[00:07] <sco50000> jrib: 15 mins is quite awhile if you think about how many posts there are per minute
[00:07] <Stormx2> Lunks: I had the same problem! a simple symlink solves your problem. Gimme a min
[00:07] <murkyMurk> Lunks: sorry, no idea.
[00:07] <lauchazombie> kc theres is gnome-look for example
[00:08] <sco50000> jrib: no one will ever see it
[00:08] <Lunks> murkyMurk: Ok, thanks anyway. Sorry for not speaking very clear on the first time. :P
[00:08] <kc> thanks launch
[00:08] <honeking> murkyMurk: the reason why i ask is i went to uninstall alsa last night, and it had a list of like 20 progs it was going to delete
[00:08] <Lunks> English is not my native language. :P
[00:08] <chaplan> i have installed gutsy and can't use kopete, error kills application, anyone with the same problem?
[00:08] <Xacarith> Guess I'm on my own on this one?
[00:08] <casey_> bruenig:  its easy to switch back to GNOME if I dont like xfce right?
[00:08] <casey_> because I've interested
[00:08] <kc> is that a download under add remove
[00:08] <sco50000> can someone help me fix this big problem? HAL is failing to initialize when i log into gutsy, and i can only boot in recovery mode
[00:08] <Stormx2> Lunks: Try this: sudo rm -rf /root/.themes && sudo ln -s /home/yourusernamehere/.themes /root/.themes
[00:08] <hafez> Stormx2 can you give the package name ( apache )
[00:09] <vocx> bruenig, you mean you use vim.      Also, why do you hang in politics? it's crazy!
[00:09] <Stormx2> hafez: I'm more than a little busy at the moment. Sorry
[00:09] <Lunks> Stormx2: Thanks a lot, man
[00:09] <lauchazombie> kc is a website
[00:09] <jrib> sco50000: many have seen your question, the key is to wait for new people who know the answer to be paying attention
[00:09] <murkyMurk> honeking: yeah, i think synaptic tries to clear everything that depends on it as well....you're probably best off just forcing reinstall via apt-get install -f
[00:09] <lauchazombie> kc first what desktop enviroment do you have?
[00:09] <Dreamglider> f´ed in the A
[00:09] <Lunks> Stormx2: I must be very sleepy... ~/.themes is pretty obvious lol
[00:09] <Stormx2> Lunks: Lemme know if it works :D
[00:09] <hafez> Stormx2 don' worry thanks
[00:09] <stinger05> Stormx2: i have the problem still, it's not progressing :S:S
[00:09] <kc> like what version of ubuntu am i running?
[00:09] <astro76> !ohmy | Dreamglider
[00:09] <ubotu> Dreamglider: Please watch your language and topic, and keep this channel family friendly.
[00:10] <Stormx2> stinger05: Uhg. This is during the installation wizard, right? It hasn't actually started installing?
[00:10] <bruenig> vocx, it is in my list of channels, I rarely actually do anything in there except watch the crazies
[00:10] <lwizardl> anyone having problems getting dvd decrypter to rune under wine on gutsy?
[00:10] <lauchazombie> kc no exactly
[00:10] <Stormx2> lwizardl: Try #winehq
[00:10] <Stormx2> !version | kc
[00:10] <ubotu> kc: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell
[00:10] <stinger05> Stormx2: yes it's during the installation wizard, and it hasn't started installing :S
[00:10] <sco50000> jrib: well, this is a very big OS breaking error that many different people have, so i thought people would be putting more effort into figuring it out (it's apparently been around since breezy and dapper)
[00:11] <sco50000> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dbus/+bug/25931
[00:11] <Lunks> Stormx2: Worked perfectly. :)
[00:11] <Stormx2> stinger05: Right. Your partition table may be a little broken. Reboot your computer, try again. If it fails again, come back here. It's a fairly trivial fix, probably.
[00:11] <tdw> what the
[00:11] <Stormx2> Lunks: yay ;D
[00:11] <murkyMurk> honeking: sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-sound-base

[00:11] <lauchazombie> kc im talking to you in the private
[00:12] <User667> can ubuntu be told not to ask for password when resuming from suspend?
[00:12] <jrib> sco50000: that bug is marked "incomplete", maybe you can help
[00:12] <BlackDiamonds> guys I have some questions about the latest ubuntu version
[00:12] <kc> sorry bout that fellas i am still learning some of the tricks around here
[00:12] <Stormx2> lauchazombie: No, you're not. He's not getting your PMs because you aren't identified with services.
[00:12] <Fryguy--> BlackDiamonds: ask a question, don't ask to ask a question, and don't say "I have a question"
[00:12] <kc> my company still only uses windows at work so i have to learn this at home slowly....
[00:12] <gunnar> Q:  OK,  I have reinstalled 7.10 and my Audigy still will not work, as well as the one on the motherboard.   ( This is the reason I would like to recompile my kernel,  a kerenl with only one sound card driver will only find one card.  I found that out with Debian etch, which compiles fine.) The end result is that I still would like to run ubuntu, But I really would like to have sound. Ideas?
[00:12] <sco50000> jrib: i know it is marked incomplete, and i want to help, but i haven't the slightest clue what is even going wrong
[00:12] <IdleOne> !register | lauchazombie
[00:12] <BlackDiamonds> First of all is there away to get connceted to the 'unstable' repos so I can get the latest versions of some apps ?
[00:12] <ubotu> lauchazombie: Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[00:13] <honeking> murkyMurk: i'm going to try that, give me a second
[00:13] <sco50000> jrib: it's some problem with dbus
[00:13] <FlurrY> can someone help me when they get the chance?  I'm getting a GRUB error 17; I've searched the forums, found several solutions - none of them worked
[00:13] <IdleOne> !repos | BlackDiamonds

[00:13] <Stormx2> FlurrY: Do you only receive "error 17" or is there some further text?
[00:13] <sco50000> jrib: and this is a completely fresh install of gutsy we're talking about here
[00:13] <vocx> gunnar, normally you do not need to recompile the kernel, just a kernel module, which provides the driver for your device.
[00:14] <FlurrY> I get a little bit more, let me check
[00:14] <murkyMurk> ferrari rocks :-)
[00:14] <LordZack> hi how do i get java onto my machine?
[00:14] <astro76> !java | LordZack
[00:14] <ubotu> LordZack: To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre
[00:14] <murkyMurk> LordZack: the easiest way is to use add/remove and simply select java
[00:14] <lauchazombie> now i did it :D
[00:14] <brad016> How do i format a drive
[00:14] <FlurrY> basically I cant even get into the grub menu; i get the Error 17 before grub pops up
[00:14] <jrib> sco50000: have you read through the comments?  there are some workarounds
[00:15] <TECH_> I use (iced tea) works better.
[00:15] <arooni> i just installed gutsy.  fonts in firefox look not very good..... they are hard to read.  (i have twin lcds), is there anything i can do?
[00:15] <jrib> !gparted | brad016
[00:15] <ubotu> brad016: GParted is is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[00:15] <chaplan> i have installed gutsy and can't use kopete, error kills application, anyone with the same problem?
[00:15] <User667> does anyone want to help with ubuntu+tablet pc?
[00:15] <murkyMurk> brad016: use fdisk (google for howtos on it)
[00:15] <honeking> murkyMurk: it still says the same thing when i try to open the volume control
[00:15] <sco50000> jrib: but it is all stuff i have to type in every time
[00:15] <Fryguy--> arooni: adjust DPI, turn on subpixel smoothing, install msttcorefonts
[00:15] <brad016> oKAY THANKS
[00:15] <brad016> sry caps
[00:15] <gunnar> vocx:  I would like to REMOVE the driver.  Then only one sound card will work.  I have tried "asoundconf  list" and it shows both cards.  But when I do a "asoundconf set-default-card" it still will not work.
[00:15] <brk3> hi, does anyone know how I can get the mousegestures plugin for compiz on gutsy?
[00:15] <FlurrY> "GRUB Loading stage1.5."  "GRUB loading, please wait..."   "Error 17"  on 3 lines
[00:15] <jrib> sco50000: no it is not, just once
[00:15] <sco50000> jrib: i don't think i should have to start in recovery mode every time
[00:15] <Fryguy--> User667: just ask your question
[00:15] <arooni> Fryguy--, how do i adjust dpi?  (i have 1280x1024 resolution)
[00:15] <Stormx2> FlurrY: I'm doing a bit of research, hold up :)
[00:15] <murkyMurk> honeking: pooo. that's you left with no choice but a forced reinstall apt-get install als-utils -f etc
[00:16] <FlurrY> alright thanks
[00:16] <Fryguy--> arooni: system|preferences|appearance
[00:16] <User667> i am having trouble with the fact that ubuntu asks for pass after resume (from suspend)
[00:16] <Jan4uxz> HI all
[00:16] <sco50000> jrib: which workaround do you think i should try?
[00:16] <dmx> j #ubuntu-es
[00:16] <Fastn> d4rkmonkey, everything works :) i just uninstalled everything and reinstall later, but i have 16 desktop-areas now, how to reduce them, when i dont have compiz manager
[00:16] <vocx> gunnar, to be certain, disable the card in the Motherboard BIOS. Then try in Linux.
[00:16] <Jan4uxz> could someone lend me a helping hand on Fakeraid issues?
[00:16] <jrib> sco50000: read through *all* the comments and then decide.  I just glanced at them
[00:16] <arooni> Fryguy--, it seems to adjust everything *except* fonts in FF
[00:16] <gunnar> vocx:  I have tried that.
[00:16] <Fryguy--> arooni: refresh page?
[00:17] <d4rkmonkey> Fastn I think the only way to reduce them is using Compiz config settings manager... I don't know any other wasy
[00:17] <Stormx2> FlurrY: "This error is returned if the partition requested exists, but the filesystem type cannot be recognized by GRUB. "
[00:17] <kc> for the ones who told me to use paste bin here is the link http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41596/
[00:17] <arooni> Fryguy--, are there no other fonts i should install?
[00:17] <FlurrY> Yeah, I found that
[00:17] <Xacarith> QUIT
[00:17] <vocx> gunnar, well... my AC'97 just works, woot!
[00:17] <Jan4uxz> could someone lend me a helping hand on Fakeraid issues?
[00:17] <kc> once again sorry for flooding earlier
[00:17] <sco50000> jrib: none of those people are talking about gutsy, they are talking about dapper and breezy
[00:17] <Stormx2> FlurrY: Are you on a live cd on the machine now?
[00:18] <FlurrY> I'm on my other computer beside it
[00:18] <mrunagi> what does cp omitting directory mean?
[00:18] <renato> how can I install aquamarine on 7.10?
[00:18] <jrib> sco50000: yes they are... I read it
[00:18] <murkyMurk> Fastn: right click the window switcher app in the task bar, properties and set how many ffrom there
[00:18] <gunnar> vocx:  That is the one I'm trying to disable.  :)
[00:18] <bruenig> mrunagi, means you didn't include the recursive option and so it isn't going to copy that directory
[00:18] <Stormx2> FlurrY: Pop in a live CD to the failing machine, we'll examine your partition tables a little bit.
[00:18] <arooni> Fryguy--, does ubuntu install these by default: Bitstream Vera Sans", Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif ?  if not, how can i get them
[00:18] <FlurrY> alright
[00:18] <mrunagi> -r is recursive?
[00:18] <murkyMurk> mrunagi: that means you forgot to put a -R at the end of a cp statement so it's ignoring subdirectories
[00:18] <Fryguy--> arooni: as i mentioned before, msttcorefonts
[00:19] <FlurrY> Does the livecd have wireless card drivers?
[00:19] <ccii> gyj
[00:19] <Stormx2> arooni: They aren't installed by default. They can be installed via the "msttcorefonts" package.
[00:19] <derrrface> 7.06 and now 7.10 sound will play but has annoying static/crackling noise when playing. once in a while after selecting, de-selecting, and again; selecting "VIA 8233" as sound device: the sound will play fine. once I reboot; sound is crackling/static...
[00:19] <Stormx2> FlurrY: Some, yes. Otherwise just continue talking on your current machine.
[00:19] <FlurrY> K
[00:19] <arooni> Stormx2, do i need to restart firefox?  X? to get it work?
[00:19] <FlurrY> i meant for if I have to pastebin anything or whatnot
[00:19] <kc> so gnome-look is a web site?
[00:19] <owen1> how can i send voice emails (gtalk on windows can do it)?
[00:19] <bruenig> arooni, X
[00:19] <DShepherd> User667, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=263356 -- that might help
[00:19] <Stormx2> arooni: They should work straight away. I really can't remember. Try restarting firefox I suppose.
[00:19] <murkyMurk> kc: yep
[00:20] <DShepherd> kc, gnome-look.org is a website
[00:20] <jrib> sco50000: trust me, just sit down and spend 5 minutes reading the comments so you can understand the issue while you wait for someone to answer you here
[00:20] <kc> sweet thanks fellas
[00:20] <gunnar> vocx:  I am going to download the kernel source that matches the version that ubuntu comes with and then compile from that.  That one may work and not give errors.  ( Hope that it is a kerenel issue :)
[00:20] <bruenig> depends actually if they are installed in a font directory that is already being loaded actually
[00:20] <Fryguy--> gunnar: you almost certainly shouldn't be compiling a kernel just to get a common sound card to work
[00:20] <heatman> Hello. Could someone tell me where i can find a wiki on a way to backup a partition via a shell command
[00:20] <bruenig> owen1, record your voice, attach it to an email?
[00:20] <FlurrY> I'm thinking its just an issue with the way its recognizing my three HDs

[00:20] <bruenig> !backup | heatman
[00:20] <gunnar> Very true.

[00:20] <Stormx2> gunnar: I second what Fryguy-- said. You should only be inserting modules.

[00:21] <IdleOne> errr
[00:21] <heatman> lol ty
[00:21] <jrib> heatman: consider partimage
[00:21] <bruenig> IdleOne, chuckle
[00:21] <vocx> gunnar, anyway there is more info on kernels the Ubuntu way in the forums.
[00:21] <arooni> Stormx2, omg that looks sooooooo much better, thanks!
[00:21]  * IdleOne snarls
[00:21] <murkyMurk> heatman: you need to google on the use of the command tar
[00:21] <owen1> bruenig: ok, but it might be a big file.. what app should i use?
[00:21] <mrunagi> ty
[00:21] <Stormx2> arooni: No prob.
[00:21] <bruenig> !info audacity | owen1 perhaps

[00:21] <mrunagi> i got the help files working im happy now
[00:21] <Fastn> d4rkmonkey, if i want to uninstall compizconfig-settings-manager with under packages and remove all configurationsfiles, do i run "apt-get --purge remove package" or "apt-get --purge autoremove package"
[00:21] <kst-> anyone an expert with sessions? I just did a 2nd session login for same user and when i tried to logout my other old session would freeze
[00:22] <KidProQuo> #ubuntu-art
[00:22] <owen1> ubotu: what format of audio should i use?
[00:22] <d4rkmonkey> Fastn no idea.
[00:22] <Lejzi> !kernel
[00:22] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild.  Also, see !stages
[00:22] <derrrface> now the error i get is: audiotestsrc wav=sine freq=512 !audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink:Resource busy or not available
[00:22] <bruenig> Fastn, the compiz configuration files are almost certainly going to have been created dynamically in your home folder and therefore you will have to remove them yourself
[00:22] <gunnar> vocx: I have read the howtoforge.com kernel compile howto.    I just attempted to upgrade to gutsy on my Toshiba U200 laptop and it won't power on anymore...
[00:22] <murkyMurk> Fastn: a simple man apt-get will answer your question

[00:23] <owen1> d4rkmonkey: oops...what app should i use to send voice emails to friends?
[00:23] <jonjon09> can someone help me reinstall ubuntu, I tired to upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10 but it froze in the middle of the upgrade so I had to reboot and now it wont let me boot in anymore
[00:23] <kst-> yeah thanks IdleOne
[00:23] <FlurrY> you're wanting my linux HD right
[00:23] <d4rkmonkey> owen1 no idea.
[00:23] <Fryguy--> gunnar: the actual process of compiling a kernel is simple, getting a kernel that is configured correctly is very difficult
[00:23] <Stormx2> owen1: Just use sound recorder and attach it to an email?
[00:23] <vocx> d4rkmonkey, ubotu is quite smart, it deceives people
[00:23] <bruenig> owen1, you can pick whichever format, I assume audacity will put out wmvs
[00:24] <bruenig> owen1, but you can transcode that to whatever
[00:24] <Fryguy--> gunnar: you really shouldn't be compiling a kernel to get an audigy working, as they should be able to work my just loading drivers
[00:24] <Stormx2> FlurrY: Yeah. The one you've installed ubuntu on
[00:24] <AllyUnion> jonjon09: Have you tried getting into single user mode?
[00:24] <d4rkmonkey> vocx well, it doesn't actually know anything, it just has a bunch of phrases that it spits out when you tell it to
[00:24] <FlurrY> k
[00:24] <owen1> Stormx2: bruenig ok, thanks
[00:24] <FlurrY> Stormx2, done
[00:24] <Stormx2> FlurrY: /dev/hda would be your first hard drive. /dev/hdb would be your second
[00:24] <FlurrY> Yeah, i got that

[00:24] <bruenig> d4rkmonkey, it knows plenty, it just needs to be prompted to reveal its knowledge
[00:24] <FlurrY> and actually its sda/sdb/sdc
[00:24] <IdleOne> I beg to differ :P
[00:24] <Nergar> hello
[00:24] <gunnar> To reiterate : I would like to REMOVE the driver.  Then only one sound card will work.  I have tried "asoundconf  list" and it shows both cards.  But when I do a "asoundconf set-default-card" it still will not work.
[00:24] <FlurrY> but still
[00:24] <Pirate_Hunter> anyone want to help me fix some easy scripts that just wont run?
[00:25] <bruenig> Pirate_Hunter, sure, pastebin them and link
[00:25] <vocx> d4rkmonkey, ha, as bruenig says
[00:25] <Pirate_Hunter> bruenig: ok give me a sec
[00:25] <AllyUnion> !single user mode
[00:25] <murkyMurk> Fryguy--: one of the audigy versions is still blacklisted by alsa..it's an early, odd one that needed an odd module
[00:25] <Stormx2> FlurrY: Uhg. It's tricky seeing as you're on another computer. How many partitions does it list? Could you create a text file listing their names and their filesystems and post it to a pastebin? I'm assuming the live cd machine has no internet.
[00:25] <Fryguy--> gunnar: have you bothered googling or anything?  pretty much every single person who owns an audigy is also going to have an onboard sound card, and i'm sure they all get their audigy's working without recompiling
[00:25] <FlurrY> Could I open a PM with you?
[00:25] <jonjon09> AllyUnion how do I get in it and how is going to help me?
[00:25] <chaplan> need help with kopete in gutsy
[00:25] <Stormx2> FlurrY: Sure.
[00:26] <Nergar> i uninstalled network-manager so i could install wicd but when i unistall nm it turns of my network card, how do i turn it back on??
[00:26] <AllyUnion> jonjon09: Also known as "recovery mode"
[00:26] <gunnar> Fryguy :  I have searched high and low.  :(
[00:26] <jonjon09> oh ok
[00:26] <Fryguy--> murkyMurk: right, and being blacklisted by alsa isn't going to be solved by recompiling a kernel
[00:26] <murkyMurk> gunnar: rmmod the driver and then blacklist it
[00:26] <Pirate_Hunter> bruenig: kk for who ever wants to quickly help me get this scripts working check them out here http://paste.lisp.org/display/49581
[00:26] <riotk> ohhh i hate xchat. O_O
[00:26] <ChrisC35> Location: America/Vancouver ??? damnit - Vancouver is in Canada
[00:26] <murkyMurk> Fryguy--: yep
[00:26] <jonjon09> AllyUnion Ill try right now
[00:26] <d4rkmonkey> bruenig haha, whatever
[00:26] <ChrisC35> Ubuntu installer must be made in Europe
[00:26] <Stormx2> ChrisC35: Still in America though.
[00:26] <gunnar> murkyMurk: What is this blacklisting?
[00:26] <d4rkmonkey> ChrisC35 I think Europeans know what country vancouver is in...
[00:27] <bruenig> Pirate_Hunter, ok what is the error?
[00:27] <IdleOne> Nergar: download the .deb for wicd then uninstall nm and install wicd using dpkg -i wicd.deb ( or whatever the name is ) and then you should be good to go but I cant promise
[00:27] <tdw> okay, so i got ubuntu working now
[00:27] <ChrisC35> People usually mean the US by America
[00:27] <derrrface> how do i re-install audio drivers (none of the ones installed are working properly) either they work (have loud noise/crackling) or work once (one instance) then continue to make noise
[00:27] <riotk> ChrisC35: and canada is in ... say it with me, now... North America
[00:27] <tdw> but i can't get my wireless network to work
[00:27] <cwillu> ChrisC35: only in america :p
[00:27] <vocx> ChrisC35, wrong assumption
[00:27] <murkyMurk> gunnar: ubuntu maintains a list of modules (drivers) to not load at startup...putt your troublesome driver there and that hardware won't work
[00:27] <Fryguy--> gunnar: you read this? http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-18802.html
[00:27] <tdw> Intel Pro/wireless 3495 card on a Inspiron 6400 from Dell

[00:27] <Pirate_Hunter> bruenig: it wont run the second file wont run ive tried it and it just wont run so im wondering what have i done wrong
[00:28] <jrcdude> Hey guys, I think my Xserver is screwed up, can someone help me out please?
[00:28] <ChrisC35> america is technically no where
[00:28] <Fryguy--> jrcdude: ask a real question
[00:28] <Nergar> IdleOne, i did just that but now i can turn on my wifi card, it turned of when some network-manager services stopped
[00:28] <gunnar> FryGuy:  Reading it now.
[00:28] <LjL> !offtopic
[00:28] <jrcdude> Well, my text in Assault cube is all screwed up
[00:28] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[00:28] <jrcdude> and it happened after I reset Xserver
[00:28] <murkyMurk> gunnar: but alsa used to mainatin a blacklist of unsupported hardware...there was a vesion of an audigy soundcard on it for years
[00:28] <IdleOne> Nergar: what is wrong with using NM anyway?
[00:28] <Nergar> IdleOne, i CAN'T turn ***
[00:28] <jonjon09> AllyUnion recovery mode works what do I need to do?
[00:28] <murkyMurk> gunnar: but the vast majority of audicty soundcards shoudl work right out of the box
[00:29] <lordlimecat> is there a command which will recreate xorg.conf?  I dont have one that works--its set to use an ati card, but i have an nvidia one, so even the bulletproof x doesnt work unless i delete the xorg
[00:29] <astro76> !xconfig | lordlimecat
[00:29] <ubotu> lordlimecat: To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg » - To configure only the driver and resolution, type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh » - See also !FixRes

[00:29] <AllyUnion> Hey guys, after the reboot upgrade from feisty to gutsy, my laptop won't turn on.  (Yes, the power cable is in and the battery is fully charged)
[00:29] <cwillu> AllyUnion: no power light?
[00:29] <Nergar> IdleOne, dont like it, have lots of problem connecting to some networks and it takes too long to dor the networks to update
[00:29]  * unravel hugs irssi. tightly.
[00:29] <AllyUnion> jonjon09: You couldn't get in via normal mode with your username and password or what?
[00:30] <AllyUnion> cwillu: Yes, no power light
[00:30] <murkyMurk> AllyUnion: what, not even boot to bios?
[00:30] <AllyUnion> murkyMurk: Not even to bios
[00:30] <jonjon09> AllyUnion no it tells me there is an error with X or something
[00:30] <bruenig> Pirate_Hunter, ok but what error does the second file give you when you try to run it or does it just not do anything?
[00:30] <cwillu> AllyUnion: unplug it, take out the battery for a few seconds, put the battery back in, and it should fire up
[00:30] <AllyUnion> jonjon09: Try: 'sudo apt-get upgrade'
[00:30] <murkyMurk> AllyUnion: then it is clearly dead. BIOS is pre-OS
[00:30] <cwillu> AllyUnion: it happens once in a while
[00:30] <AllyUnion> cwillu: It did, but dies shortly after.
[00:30] <cwillu> AllyUnion: (with laptops, not ubuntu)
[00:31] <cwillu> AllyUnion: power cable or socket sounds like it's bad then
[00:31] <bruenig> Pirate_Hunter, it is probably the ./home line, it should not have a . in front of it
[00:31] <AllyUnion> cwillu: It doesn't explain how it's been working fine for the past year until the moment I upgraded to gutsy.
[00:31] <jonjon09> AllyUnion - E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[00:31] <cwillu> AllyUnion: unhook everything again, plug it back in, let it sit plugged in for an hour, and then try turning it on
[00:31] <AllyUnion> jonjon09: Try running that command
[00:31] <Pirate_Hunter> bruenig: will try but doubt it
[00:31] <owen1> sound recording doesn't record anyhing. anyone?
[00:31] <cwillu> AllyUnion: coincidence
[00:31] <bruenig> Pirate_Hunter, oh and ESPXE= doesn't have /home in front of it either, just /pirate which I don't assume exists
[00:32] <Stormx2> jonjon09: Do as it says ;D
[00:32] <bruenig> doubt what? that it shouldn't have a . in front of it?
[00:32] <AllyUnion> cwillu: Some coincidence... the odds on that are pretty damn high
[00:32] <jrcdude> Assault cube text comes up as blocks?
[00:32] <murkyMurk> AllyUnion: yes it does. Hardware always 'just after' X event and usually X has got f all to do with it
[00:32] <Stormx2> owen1: Please clarify. The recorded sound is silence, or something else?
[00:32] <cwillu> AllyUnion: there's not much that ubuntu can do to make a computer not boot up to the bios anymore :p
[00:32] <cwillu> AllyUnion: not even windows malware can do that :p
[00:32] <Pirate_Hunter> bruenig: yeha i noticed that and ammended it already but thanx for reminding me just incase
[00:33] <murkyMurk> AllyUnion: lol, that sentence was missing its 'fail' ...insert it where it makes most sense
[00:33] <Stormx2> AllyUnion: have you installed any new hardware or tweaked the bios?
[00:33] <owen1> Stormx2: i can record, but when clicking on play, it dosn't play anything.
[00:33] <AllyUnion> Stormx2: No
[00:33] <owen1> Stormx2: it looks like the record itself if fine (i see the time counter after i hit 'record')
[00:33] <cwillu> AllyUnion: if it boots up and dies almost immediately, it's almost certainly a battery issue;  unhook everything (including battery), then plug the battery back in, then plug in the power supply, let it charge (turned off) for an hour, and try it again
[00:33] <N3rg4r> IdleOne, any idea how to turn on my wifi card?
[00:33] <Stormx2> owen1: Does it play as if the track is silence, ie, the recorded sound is the right length but contains silence.
[00:34] <sivik> what ports can you run http over, so does it matter
[00:34] <sivik> n3rg4r what kind of card?
[00:34] <Stormx2> owen1: or does it simply refuse to play anything?
[00:34] <IdleOne> N3rg4r: sorry no
[00:34] <Pirate_Hunter> bruenig: nope going to try from the start again and see if it works :(
[00:34] <cwillu> sivik: any port you want, although 80 is the default if you don't specify otherwise (assuming I know what you're talking about)
[00:34] <owen1> Stormx2: it refuse to play. i click 'play' and nothing happened,
[00:34] <Stormx2> N3rg4r: ifup wlan0 ? ;)
[00:34] <AllyUnion> cwillu: A battery issue presenting after a gutsy upgrade, when there has been no indication of such...  *sigh*
[00:34] <bruenig> Pirate_Hunter, http://pastebin.ca/745019 that is what I am working off of since your paste is boring
[00:34] <Stormx2> owen1: Try saving the file and then try.
[00:34] <sivik> cwillu: i know what the default is, i just want to run mythweb but my isp blocks incoming port 80
[00:34] <cwillu> AllyUnion: no, a battery issue preventing a laptop from posting the bios
[00:35] <AllyUnion> cwillu: It doesn't explain why the computer post when the battery is disconnected and the power adapter is connected.
[00:35] <cwillu> sivik: you can run any port you want, but some people may not be able to get to a non-standard port (some company's block)
[00:35] <bruenig> Pirate_Hunter, you really want to quote $ESXE or whatever it is when you use it especially considering that it has spaces
[00:35] <IdleOne> sivik: forward port 80 to  8080
[00:35] <User251> anybody in?
[00:35] <owen1> could not save the file "invalid parameters"

[00:35] <ndan> maybe someone will have an idea.  i have a realtek ALC861 which is supported by the realtek linux audiopak 4.07 however when i installed it.... instead of just having no sound it now says i also have no sound drivers... removed my other ones... ne idea?
[00:35] <AllyUnion> jonjon09: Just wait and see.
[00:35] <Pirate_Hunter> bruenig: give me a sec for me to paste the new files
[00:35] <Lunks> I find VNC too slow on my machine when running Compiz. Is there an alternative for VNC on Linux?
[00:35] <owen1> Stormx2: ok, thanks
[00:36] <murkyMurk> AllyUnion: i used to be a mechanic...you wouldn't believe the amount of times a puncture that happened 'just after' a service was somehow our fault
[00:36] <sivik> n3rg4r: ndiswrapper or the drivers?
[00:36] <N3rg4r> Stormx2, it didn't work, my network card is OFF not "not configured"
[00:36] <cwillu> AllyUnion: you didn't say it posted with no battery, but unless you've got some seriously wonky hardware, anything that happens or doesn't happen up to and including the bios post is unrelated to the os

[00:36] <AllyUnion> cwillu: Furthermore, it doesn't explain why the system doesn't turn on with the battery and adapter plugged in
[00:36] <Lunks> I'd like to access my other Ubuntu desktop using something else than VNC.
[00:36] <ConstyXIV> what port does gnome's bittorrent use?
[00:36] <Lunks> astro76: VMWare Server Console runs fine
[00:36] <N3rg4r> sivik, restriced driver manager in gutsy
[00:36] <cwillu> phixnay: do you have mdadm, evms or dmraid installed?
[00:36] <Lunks> Only VNC that is an issue.
[00:36] <Pelo> phixnay, what usb devices are connected to your cmp ?
[00:36] <IdleOne> !freenx | Lunks
[00:36] <ubotu> Lunks: FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX
[00:36] <sivik> n3rg4r: if you running the drivers, ask in bcm-users channel
[00:36] <AllyUnion> cwillu: It went wonky after the upgrade, not before
[00:36] <N3rg4r> sivik,
[00:36] <Lunks> IdleOne: Thank you very much!
[00:36] <Lunks> =)
[00:37] <N3rg4r> sivik, no! the problem is with Ubuntu
[00:37] <IdleOne> np
[00:37] <sivik> n3rg4r: not sure about gusty, i have no gone to gusty
[00:37] <cwillu> AllyUnion: seriously, do what I suggested, bug me again if that doesn't work
[00:37] <Andy---> I need help setting up xorg.conf to recognize my external monitor on my laptop. I want to use the external monitor only when its plugged in. I've messed with aticonfig and xorg.conf a lot with no luck. Can anyone help?
[00:37] <sivik> n3rg4r, mine works fine in fiesty
[00:37] <unravel> if it's not turning on with your battery plugged in, its a safe assumption that your battery == the root of the issue
[00:37] <LiMaO> sivik: Feisty.
[00:37] <josh_marshall> Anyone else running Gutsy on a PPC system and having Gstreamer / gnome-settings-daemon screw up at login?

[00:37] <bruenig> unravel, you and your logic
[00:37] <cwillu> phixnay: ?
[00:37] <unravel> my logic = awesome
[00:38] <N3rg4r> sivik, exactly, it worked fine in feisty but now network-manager turns of my card when i unistall it, if I install nm again , my wifi card turns on again
[00:38] <astro76> AllyUnion, bad batteries can cause wonky things, it caused my laptop's keyboard and mouse to stutter every 5 seconds with the battery in
[00:38] <phixnay> cwillu: mdadm sounds familliar, I don't know about the others
[00:38] <AllyUnion> unravel: Actually, the scenario is: battery plugged in by itself after having it unplugged for awhile = machine turns on for a few seconds.  Power cord attached in any manner = machine does not turn on.
[00:38] <phixnay> cwillu: how can I find out what I have installed?
[00:38] <sivik> n3rg4r, i can never get my to turn off unless i press the button
[00:39] <cwillu> phixnay: synaptic, in adminitstration
[00:39] <IdleOne> AllyUnion: the outlet have power?
[00:39] <phixnay> cwillu: ok
[00:39] <IdleOne> AllyUnion: try plugging in a lamp or something
[00:39] <cwillu> AllyUnion: IdleOne:  ohvoy
[00:39] <murkyMurk> AllyUnion: I bet you have aflat battery and a blown fuse in the plug...checked that?
[00:39] <IdleOne> cwillu: ohvoy?
[00:39] <cwillu> oh boy
[00:39] <fluffles> hi, how can i watch DVDs that i mounted? vlc asks for a /dev/ but i got something with /mnt/ and this doesn't appear to work
[00:39]  * cwillu grimaces :p
[00:39] <Pirate_Hunter> bruenig: http://paste.lisp.org/display/49583 this has the same file but as defualt so no editing so far
[00:39] <fluffles> using 7.10
[00:39] <N3rg4r> sivik, brb
[00:39] <Pirate_Hunter> http://paste.lisp.org/display/49583: *default
[00:40] <IdleOne> cwillu: well if it doesnt work when plugged in to the outlet perhaps the outlet is burned out :/
[00:40] <cwillu> fluffles: /dev/dvd0 I believe
[00:40] <bruenig> Pirate_Hunter, paste in an interactive pastebin...
[00:40] <AllyUnion> Excuse me while I go stick a fork in the blown fuse socket.
[00:40] <phixnay> pelo: just a monitor, keyboard, regular mouse, usb mouse
[00:40] <Pelo> fluffles,  you need to piont to /media/cdrom or whatever
[00:40] <dvdgorila> how do i change dvd audio in mplayer
[00:40] <cwillu> IdleOne: I know, I'm just anticipating AllyUnion's reaction :p
[00:40] <Pelo> phixnay, monitor, keyboard are usb ?
[00:40] <Pelo> dvdgorila, ask in #mplayer
[00:40] <fluffles> pelo: yes but this is not a physical cd rom but a virtual one from a .iso file
[00:40]  * murkyMurk knows how this is gonna end
[00:40] <phixnay> pelo: just the mouse is usb
[00:40] <IdleOne> cwillu: first step is check the wires right? well what if all the wires are ok? then check where you plug them in :)
[00:41] <Pelo> fluffles,  I wouldn'T knwo then  try just playing the  .vob files
[00:41] <dvdgorila> thanks Pelo
[00:41] <murkyMurk> flat bat flat bat flat bat
[00:41] <cwillu> AllyUnion: battery has a tiny bit of charge left, and something is causing a failsafe (or simple disconnect) when you've got the power supply plugged in;  don't know what else to tell you
[00:41] <Pelo> phixnay, I donT' know then , sorry,  try searching hte forum for  100% udev
[00:41] <cwillu> IdleOne: is it turned on, is it plugged in, I know :p
[00:41] <Pelo> phixnay, www.ubuntuforums.org
[00:41] <fluffles> pelo: so no menu's huh? :(   ok thanks anyway! ill try that
[00:41] <cwillu> phixnay: did you check if those packages are installed?
[00:42] <Pelo> fluffles, I don'T usualy bother with the menues when watching on my comp,  I was jsut giving you a quick way to watch the movie
[00:42] <cwillu> phixnay: run udevmonitor in a terminal, I'll bet you got a load of add's and removes
[00:42] <phixnay> cwillu: mdadm is, it's going really slowly that's why it's taking so long
[00:42] <phixnay> running udevmonitor
[00:42] <owen1> Stormx2: it's ok, but the volume is teriblely low!
[00:42] <Stormx2> owen1: Do you have a speaker icon in the top right?
[00:42] <phixnay> cwillu: so is evms
[00:42] <budmang> Im burning an ISO in gutsy via Right Click write to CD/DVD. After it burns the image, the image is not bootable via another computer any ideas?

[00:42] <murkyMurk> AllyUnion: is there a wee led on the psu box? Is it one?
[00:42] <cwillu> phixnay: if it does, hit ctrl+c to exit udevmonitor, the killall -KILL udevd, and then remove evms, mdadm, dmraid, dmsetup (presuming you're not running a raid)
[00:43] <Stormx2> wirechief1
[00:43] <Stormx2> wirechief1: Who was that for?
[00:43] <astro76> budmang, is it bootable on the computer that burned it or just the one other one?
[00:43] <ndan> maybe someone will have an idea.  i have a realtek ALC861 which is supported by the realtek linux audiopak 4.07 however when i installed it.... instead of just having no sound it now says i also have no sound drivers at all... it removed my other ones... ne idea?
[00:43] <cwillu> phixnay: then reboot, and then things will starting working properly
[00:43] <Pelo> budmang,  check the cd to make sure you didn'T just  copy the .iso file to the cd
[00:43] <owen1> Stormx2: top upper corner of my ubuntu? yes.
[00:43] <budmang> neither astro76.
[00:43] <AllyUnion> Well, what do you know... one of the outlets on the power strip isn't working.
[00:43] <budmang> k Pelo ill double check.
[00:43] <Stormx2> owen1: Right click > Open Volume Controls
[00:43] <murkyMurk> lololololol
[00:43] <tlarkin244> ok, i have a quick question, probably something easy to fix, When i click quit, there is no option to shut down or restart the computer, it just lets me log off, switch users, or hibernate, somebody help please!!!
[00:43] <cwillu> AllyUnion: now, apologize to ubuntu :p
[00:43] <IdleOne> :)
[00:43] <Pirate_Hunter> bruenig: where do i find an interactive pastebin and what is an interactive pastebin? can you at least post a link for me?
[00:43] <Stormx2> owen1: Look under recording for "Mic volume" or whatever. Also check for "mic boost"
[00:43] <bruenig> Pirate_Hunter, pastebin.ca
[00:44] <IdleOne> cwillu: :P that is 1000 points for me
[00:44] <Pirate_Hunter> bruenig: thanx
[00:44] <phixnay> cwillu: dmraid is not installed, but there are billions of adds and removes
[00:44] <MasterShrek> tlarkin244, did u disable the actions menu on your gdm?
[00:44] <phixnay> cwillu: so I'm doing what you said
[00:44] <murkyMurk> AllyUnion: before we start the 'i just installed Ubuntu and now the fridge doesn't work' jokes
[00:44] <LifeNomad> Forget this Linux Mint crap, back to ubuntu
[00:44] <tlarkin244> MasterShrek, what do you mean by that
[00:44] <cwillu> phixnay: k, ctrl+c, sudo killall -KILL udevd, sudo apt-get remove evms mdadm dmsetup dmraid, then reboot
[00:44] <budmang> No its burned and shows correctly on my machine(not just an ISO).
[00:44] <AllyUnion> murkyMurk: Ya ya, I do feel stupid
[00:45] <User251> yo...quit freakin talking about non related ish and get back onto Ubunts fool...
[00:45] <phixnay> cwillu: none of those things are important?
[00:45] <Pirate_Hunter> bruenig: http://pastebin.ca/745026
[00:45] <IdleOne> AllyUnion: you shouldnt . how could you have known :)
[00:45] <Pelo> !md5 | budmang
[00:45] <cwillu> phixnay: you'll also find that usb thumb drives and alternate partitions and the like start working again :)

[00:45] <murkyMurk> AllyUnion: we only know 'cos we did it first :-)
[00:45] <Stormx2> User251: Please be polite.
[00:45] <asbani> What app can run streaming online video that requires username/pass to login to? I can't simply enter it from firefox it requires activeX there.
[00:45] <cwillu> phixnay: unless you have a raid (which you'd know if you did), then they shouldn't be installed
[00:45] <tlarkin244> MasterShrek, how do i enable the actions menu?
[00:45] <User251> fair enough....
[00:45] <Stormx2> asbani: ActiveX? That's pretty iffy under ubuntu.
[00:45] <MasterShrek> tlarkin244, go system > administration > login screen  and look through the tabs for a checkbox that says something about showing the actions menu (sorry if im a little vague, im using kde so i cant go and look how to do this)
[00:45] <sivik> asbani: vlc might, try mplayer
[00:45] <phixnay> cwillu: so that's why my thumb drive wouldn't work! Hey, is this why my cd drive didn't work either?
[00:45] <budmang> Pelo: This is not an ubuntu CD. Im burning a CENTOS dvd for my server, from my ubuntu gusty laptop.
[00:45] <jonjon09> AllyUnion im not sure why but the screen went blank, and has been blank for about a minute now (I dont think it was done installing either...)
[00:46] <tlarkin244> thanks
[00:46] <User251> how were you able to catch what I wrote with this thing scrolling so fast?
[00:46] <Pelo>
[00:46] <cwillu> asbani: you could try wine with an activex plugin, but you're firmly in 'lucky if it works' territory
[00:46] <Pelo> bjd
[00:46] <asbani> sivik: ok but how do i run streaming vid in vlc for example, do I open vlc then go somewhere to enter the webpage or where? I can't find where exactly.
[00:46] <sivik> budmang, why do you want centos, try debian for a server, its better
[00:46] <Pelo> budmang, and you set the bios to boot from dvd ?
[00:46] <flick> how is the 386 kernel different from generic?
[00:46] <AllyUnion> IdleOne: Well, the odds are remarkable.  For ubuntu to finish the upgrade, shut down properly, the battery run out and one socket on the outlet is dead that I just found out about.
[00:46] <bruenig> !generic
[00:46] <ubotu> Background to the decision to replace -686, k7 and -smp kernels with -generic can be found here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-August/019983.html (the -386 kernel is still available if needed)
[00:46] <andycr> in gutsy the theme manager is very unresponsive
[00:46] <sivik> asbani: mplayer has a mozilla plugin
[00:46] <astro76> budmang, still applies, you should be able to find an md5sum for it to check
[00:46] <andycr> anyone else have this?
[00:46] <budmang> Pelo yes. it boots any other cds I have.
[00:46] <AllyUnion> jonjon09: Try pushing the space bar.
[00:46] <cwillu> phixnay: probably
[00:46] <owen1> Stormx2: i raised all the gauges and it's better. i couldn't find any boos or anything.
[00:46] <tdw> okay
[00:46] <flick> can i install linux-386 and remove linux-generic?
[00:46] <IdleOne> AllyUnion: odds are if it can break it will happen to you!
[00:46] <tdw> got wifi fixed :)
[00:46] <phixnay> cwillu: sweet! thanks a lot!
[00:46] <Pelo> budmang, i sugeest you ask in a gentoo channel for more info on this
[00:46] <levander> I usually use aptitude, but just now I accidentally tried to remove something using apt-get.  I got a message saying "The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: libcompizconfig0 linux-headers-generic libdecoration0 libcompizconfig-backend-gconf compiz-plugins linux-headers-2.6.22-14-generic linux-headers-2.6.22-14 compiz-fusion-plugins-extra compiz compiz-core compiz-fusion-plugins-main compiz-gnome"
[00:46] <levander> Then it says I can use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.  Don't I want all those compiz packages?  Or, are they just leftover from Feisty, from before I dist-upgraded?
[00:46] <AndrewEMT> hi
[00:46] <cwillu> flick: why?
[00:46] <sivik> where is the applet for cpu speed control?
[00:47] <cwillu> phixnay: np
[00:47] <asbani> sivik: ok fine mplayer but how do I go for it. Can you tell me exactly where to start?
[00:47] <sivik> i can't find it anywhere and i use to have it installed on this machine
[00:47] <budmang> Pelo: they have more info on the ubuntu cd burning software?
[00:47] <AndrewEMT> I have a question on Ubuntu if someone would care to help :)
[00:47] <bruenig> Pirate_Hunter, what is the issue, just change YOUR USERNAME and go with it
[00:47] <AllyUnion> IdleOne: Sounds like one of Yankovic Smirnoff's jokes...
[00:47] <sivik> asbani: try searching via apt-get or synaptic
[00:47]  * IdleOne doesnt believe in odds , evens that's is another story
[00:47] <Stormx2> owen1: You may have to enable that option. Edit > Preferences, find the "boost" or "mic boost" option, and check the box. It'll appear under the "switches" tab when you're done
[00:47] <cwillu> phixnay: generic has all the optimizations, as well as ones that aren't in the 386 kernel
[00:47] <jonjon09> AllyUnion ok now it works, its back to root@username:~# whats next
[00:47] <asbani> sivik: I have mplayer bro, but I don't know how to start an online streaming vid from there :)
[00:47] <Pelo> levander,  they are dependencies of the package you just removed,   they werenT' remvoed with the package , autoclean to remove them
[00:47] <Pirate_Hunter> bruenig: the issue is even if i do that it dont work and im trying that now again
[00:47] <Kensey> How can i keep my desktop effects from turning themselves off?
[00:47] <murkyMurk> levander: they are current not being used so you may as well
[00:48] <Cable86> has anyone managed to build/install the latest version of compiz and compiz fusion in gutsy?
[00:48] <Stormx2> levander: That message means the packages have been made redundant and it's completely safe to remove them
[00:48] <phixnay> cwillu: so this problem is i386 specific?
[00:48] <Pelo> budmang,  I don'T think it's a ubuntu burning software problem but a problem with the dvd you burned
[00:48] <bruenig> Pirate_Hunter, ok well you changed it beyond that, I know ./home wasn't in there
[00:48] <marthip> Please help me. When i try to upgrade to version 7.10, I get the error message of: Failed to fetch http://wine.lowvoice.nl/apt/dists/feisty/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found [IP: <IP_ADDRESS> 80]
[00:48] <cwillu> phixnay: I'm not dead sure what the problem actually is;  I've seen it before under feisty and edgy though
[00:48] <stephans> so... what is the secret name of the 32 bit compatibility layer to install on ubuntu 64?
[00:48] <Pelo> marthip,  get the alternate install cd or the dvd and upgrade from that
[00:48] <Stormx2> marthip: You should disable all third-party repositories before upgrading to gutsy
[00:48] <Kensey> Every few hours the screen blinks and my desktop effects turn off.
[00:48] <ChrisC35> in the ubuntu livecd install, what is: Configuring apt  - Scanning the mirror...    - its been stuck on this at 82% for a long time
[00:49] <murkyMurk> stephans: a chroot
[00:49] <cwillu> phixnay: evms is trying to make the devices for a raid, and is getting in the way of udevd, which retries over and over again
[00:49] <Pirate_Hunter> bruenig: to start the app he/she used ./epsxe but i used the full path instead cause it didnt work and still doesnt
[00:49] <IdleOne> ChrisC35: how long?
[00:49] <Pelo> Kensey,  check the powersave settings
[00:49] <cafuego> Kensey: Next time it happens, inspect the contents of ~/.xsession-errors
[00:49] <Kensey> hmmmm
[00:49] <m1r> ChrisC34 ; do you have network conection to that pc ?
[00:49] <levander> Pelo,  Stormx2, and murkyMurk: you guys are sure that those packages have been replaced with newer compiz packages?
[00:49] <bruenig> Pirate_Hunter, do you know what the . means in ./epsxe?
[00:49] <SOUL_ASSASSIN> I have a Dell TrueMobile 1300 WLAN Mini-PCI Card that Ubuntu doesn't seem to turn on. Can anybody help?
[00:49] <levander> That those old packages are just redundant now?
[00:49] <stephans> <murkyMur: I want to install skype and it only comes in 32 bit...
[00:49] <Stormx2> levander: Yep. Thats what that message means.
[00:49] <freeman163> hmm... i had no idea unreal tournament ran on linux.
[00:49] <flick> hi... what's the difference between generic vs 386 kernel?
[00:49] <phixnay> cwillu: hmm, seems surprising that raid software would be included in a default install
[00:49] <AllyUnion> jonjon09: Try a reboot
[00:49] <cafuego> flick: about 12

[00:50] <cafuego> fddf: NO!
[00:50] <cwillu> phixnay: you upgraded from feisty?
[00:50] <Pelo> levander, I never said anyting of the sort,  I said they were no longer needed by your comp, in anycase autoclean only removes orphan packages , it doesn'T remove anything in use
[00:50] <stephans> <murkyMur: the is a 32 bit lib thing some where but i just cnt remember the name...
[00:50] <DEAthKA> UT2004 works like a dream
[00:50] <murkyMurk> levander: i didn't check but i do know that if apt-get says they are no longer being used then they are redundant on your system
[00:50] <awewa> I used Istanbul for recording my Desktop, But when i Clicked again to stop recording it just keeps saying in process of saving to disk. I had not the option to choose the file and where to save. It is like endless. Can someone help me
[00:50] <Pirate_Hunter> bruenig: it tells it to run epsxe suggesting it doing it through root if im correct
[00:50] <cafuego> fddf: What are you doing? Posting warez here?
[00:50] <bruenig> Pirate_Hunter, the . means current directory, . means current directory .. means the directory above the current directory. So when it is doing ./espxe it is the path currentdirectory/espxe
[00:50] <flick> cafuego, what about 12?
[00:50] <snes_rocks> Hello!
[00:50] <AllyUnion> jonjon09: You can always change your apt-get repository to point at feisty and downgrade
[00:50] <bruenig> Pirate_Hunter, . doesn't mean execute or anything like that, it is a path
[00:50] <stephans> <murkyMur: suse and fedora have that option at instll time..
[00:50] <ChrisC35> IdleOne mabye about 5-10mins
[00:50] <snes_rocks> My laptop's hotkeys decided they don't want to do anything anymore
[00:50] <astro76> Pirate_Hunter, bash replaces . with the full path of the current directory
[00:50] <phixnay> cwillu: I upgraded during alpha tribe 5, and noticed the problem then too
[00:50] <snes_rocks> Is there anyway to stop their rebellion?
[00:50] <MasterShrek> Pirate_Hunter, . is the current directory, .. is the parent directory
[00:50] <Pirate_Hunter> bruenig: kk whats should i do
[00:50] <bruenig> Pirate_Hunter, just leave it
[00:51] <cafuego> flick: As I understand it, there's not a great deal of difference between the kernels.
[00:51] <m1r> ChrisC35 , is your PC conected to network ?
[00:51] <AndrewEMT> anyone available to help me?
[00:51] <AndrewEMT> with ne question
[00:51] <AndrewEMT> one*
[00:51] <Pelo> snes_rocks, did you need to configure them before they worked the firt time ? do it again
[00:51] <SOUL_ASSASSIN> # ifconfig eth1 up Doesn't work...
[00:51] <Pirate_Hunter> astro76: bash what... sorry didnt get you
[00:51] <cwillu> phixnay: if you installed evms previously (might have been a dependency of something else, or just seemed cool but didn't actually do anything)
[00:51] <phixnay> AndrewEMT: go ahead
[00:51] <stephans> What do I need to install in order to run my 32 bit apps in Ubuntu 64?
[00:51] <flick> cafuego, i see thanks
[00:51] <Pelo> AndrewEMT,  just ask a question
[00:51] <cafuego> !ask
[00:51] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[00:51] <andycr> fixed, its a bug in gtk-qt-engine
[00:51] <IdleOne> ChrisC35:  [19:49:23] <m1r> ChrisC34 ; do you have network conection to that pc ?
[00:51] <ChrisC35> m1r Yes it is plugged into the router
[00:51] <snes_rocks> I didn't have to configure them at all, and they worked on the LiveCD
[00:51] <Pirate_Hunter> bruenig: if that is the case wheer am i getting it wrong than?
[00:51] <m1r> ChrisC35 , did u cofigure network ?
[00:51] <Pelo> stephans, check in the forum I am sure it is covered,  www.ubuntuforums.org
[00:51] <snes_rocks> however, sometime between installing and now, they stopped working
[00:51] <AndrewEMT> Okay, I want to know how to error-check my filesystem without causing damage...
[00:51] <murkyMurk> stephans: use a 32bit chroot environment
[00:51] <phixnay> cwillu: ah ok. nothing complained when I removed it, so I hope it's ok
[00:51] <levander> Oh wait!  I think it's because I'm removing ubuntu-desktop (yes, I have to, so that I can reinstall linux-sound-base and alsa-base - my sound card isn't currently working).  It's saying if I remove ubuntu-desktop, that these compiz packages will be made obsolete.  So, I don't want to remove those packages.  I just want to reinstall linux-sound-base, alsa-base, and ubuntu-desktop.  Does that sound right?
[00:51] <cafuego> stephans: ia32-libs
[00:51] <bruenig> Pirate_Hunter, you need to paste error messages and you need to paste the actual script not this one
[00:51] <SOUL_ASSASSIN> my question is why won't Ubuntu do anything when I send ifconfig eth1 up command to it...?
[00:52] <stephans> cafuego: thanx!
[00:52] <phixnay> stephans: most apps have 64 bit counterparts.
[00:52] <Pelo> AndrewEMT,  do you hae any reason to do so ? or are you just looking for trouble ?
[00:52] <ChrisC35> m1r i started the live cd install, after a while the descktop came up - i click on the install icon, and it went into partitioning setup and now i'm at this
[00:52] <SOUL_ASSASSIN> HELP!!!!
[00:52] <ChrisC35> I never saw a step/dialog for network setup
[00:52] <astro76> Pirate_Hunter, bash is the shell, like others said, . is the current directory, .. is one directory up ;)

[00:52] <SOUL_ASSASSIN> Oh...I see...
[00:52] <MasterShrek> SOUL_ASSASSIN, what kind of card?
[00:52] <levander> AndrewEMT: You use the fsck command, but you have to look at all the various command line options for it.
[00:53] <SOUL_ASSASSIN> Dell TrueMobile 1300 Mini-PCI Card
[00:53] <murkyMurk> SOUL_ASSASSIN: do you have an eth1? What's eth0 doing?
[00:53] <AndrewEMT> I don't know how hence my coming in here, I'm still learning linux
[00:53] <jonjon09> AllyUnion it still doesnt work...the exact error message is  - Failed to start X server. It is likely that it is not set up correctly. Would you like to view the X server output to diagnose the problem?
[00:53] <levander> AndrewEMT: "man fsck" is where to start
[00:53] <AndrewEMT> and I've heard it can cause damage
[00:53] <DEAthKA> eth0 is wired netw probably
[00:53] <ChrisC35> m1r ctrl-alt-f4 gave me a blank screen with a flaching cursor in top left
[00:53] <freeman163> haha
[00:53] <Pelo> AndrewEMT, define funny ?
[00:53] <SOUL_ASSASSIN> murkyMurk: I don't know what eth0 is doing since I'm not trying to use it...
[00:53] <AndrewEMT> Strange behavior
[00:54] <AndrewEMT> sound cut outs
[00:54] <tlarkin244> I just plugged in my radeon x1600 pci-e card, when i rebooted, it told me that the computer had to be run in safe graphics mode, and that I would have to configure it myself. I configured it then went and enabled the card on restricted drivers, when I restart, none of the changes were saved, and it prompts me for the same thing
[00:54] <m1r> chrisc35 , try alt-ctr. f1
[00:54] <levander> AndrewEMT: the man page might be a little cryptic, you may also have to search google for an fsck tutorial
[00:54] <SOUL_ASSASSIN> but it's listing it as my LAN card...
[00:54] <tlarkin244> can any body help?
[00:54] <phixnay> AndrewEMT: use fsck, I think there's a way of setting it to run on your next boot. It just checks the file systems for errors
[00:54] <cwillu> AndrewEMT: what are you doing?
[00:54] <AndrewEMT> I did, I found nothing helpful
[00:54] <Pelo> AndrewEMT, take a look at this channel, and how fast it is going by , if you can provide usable info we can't do much for you
[00:54] <murkyMurk> SOUL_ASSASSIN: are we to assume that eth0 is your wired lan port and eth1 your othered wired lan port? or is it wifi?
[00:54] <phixnay> AndrewEMT: where did you hear it causes problems?
[00:54] <ChrisC35> m1r nothing happens, still teh blank screen
[00:54] <SOUL_ASSASSIN> murkyMurk: you got it..
[00:54] <keen> how do you change the active partition with ubuntu?
[00:54] <AndrewEMT> All over the internet
[00:54] <m1r> chrisc35 , your install is probably searching for network server , it will stay that until it search all apt sources
[00:54] <AndrewEMT> I looked up fsck
[00:54] <Pelo> keen, what ?
[00:55] <SOUL_ASSASSIN> lspci | grep eth
[00:55] <cwillu> AndrewEMT: what are you trying to do?
[00:55] <Funcoot> Guys, when I use sudo apt-get update and then try to update my emerald themes it says no update is available even though im at verison 2.1
[00:55] <DEAthKA> check first the module fot eth1
[00:55] <m1r> chrisc35, do you have DHCP on router ?

[00:55] <Pelo> Funcoot,  no update available in the repos
[00:55] <keen> pelo, my hdd is broken up into 3 partitions, i need to make another partition the active one, but i have no idea how to do that in ubuntu

[00:55] <lufis> Where can I find a repo with updated packages for amsn and tcl/tk?

[00:55] <cwillu> keen: sudo cfdisk, actually
[00:55] <murkyMurk> SOUL_ASSASSIN: it mightn't be called eth1 anymore..do a lsdev and look for maybe a wlan0 or similar
[00:55] <sparr> i hate broken package dependencies
[00:55] <cwillu> keen: but be careful
[00:55] <Kensey> Funcoot repositories
[00:55] <orbstra> hey I am getting a "upnp error -203" when running mediatomb on my ubuntu feisty server.. can anyone help me with this?
[00:56] <Funcoot> Pelo, sooooo 2.1 is the correct version?
[00:56] <Pelo> keen,  I don't understand what you mean by active ,  in linux you mount partitions you want to use
[00:56] <Kensey> The archives of software that make up Ubuntu
[00:56] <ChrisC35> m1r dhcp i dont think so - not doing anyting special besides port forwarding and mac address filtering
[00:56] <Funcoot> Pelo, but I saw someone with 5.2 :(
[00:56] <foug> ok 7.10 is giving me a few problems. I keep getting a lot of odd tasks that boost my CPU usage to 20-90%. Some of them are "pdftotext" or "trackerd" and even a root task after i installed something. I never had any of these tasks hogging my cpu usage in 7.04.
[00:56] <Pelo> Funcoot,  if that is the one currently available in the repos it is the correct version
[00:56] <m1r> chrisc35 , there is your problem
[00:56] <m1r> chrisc35 , ubuntu want
[00:56] <lufis> foug: trackerd is a search indexer, disable it if you dont use search
[00:56] <foug> lufis: where at?
[00:56] <keen> pelo, basically i wanna use the darwin bootloader instead of grub and its on another partition
[00:56] <garu> hi everyone
[00:56] <SOUL_ASSASSIN> murkyMurk: when did the change in device naming convention change?
[00:56] <cwillu> foug: mostly normal, trackerd will go away on its own;  root task doesn't tell us anything
[00:56] <m1r> chrisc35, ubuntu wants take some part of install form internet and it cant connect
[00:57] <SOUL_ASSASSIN> BRB...gonna try lsdev real quicl...
[00:57] <cwillu> keen: sudo cfdisk
[00:57] <lufis> foug: sys > prefs > indexing preferences
[00:57] <keen> cwillu, is there anymore to that command, cfdisk?
[00:57] <Funcoot> Pelo, well thanks for the hasty response, most IRC channel members are not as helpful.
[00:57] <jdong> foug: tracker provides an index for quick searching, and only after an initial install does it need a day or so to index your home directory
[00:57] <ChrisC35> m1r mac filtering is only for wireless i belive?
[00:57] <MTecknology> what version of X is 7.10 running?
[00:57] <cwillu> keen: it's a terminal mode graphical thingy
[00:57] <foug> cwillu: ya i know, I couldn't find out anymore about the root task. I just did a top command to see what was using the most cpu%
[00:57] <keen> cwillu, because it doesn't do anything for me
[00:57] <Pelo> keen, I think you need to find a darwin channel for that
[00:57] <Zendenn> 7.3 i think
[00:57] <ChrisC35> m1r and port forwarding i'm only using for apache, etc
[00:57] <jdong> foug: it runs under the lowest priority setting and will readily yield for other apps wanting CPU or disk
[00:57] <Pelo> Funcoot, this is #ubuntu , we are the most helpfull around
[00:57] <ChrisC35> m1r it should be albe to get to the internet
[00:57] <cwillu> foug: unless it's actually causing responsiveness problems, I wouldn't worry about it
[00:57] <eugo> ok this is mind boggling. i have no smbpasswd file, yet i am able to connect to the share
[00:57] <ChrisC35> i'll chekc the cable
[00:57] <keen> cwillu, hehe nm, missed typed it
[00:57] <jdong> foug: it also stops while under battery life, so it should be relatively out of the way
[00:57] <m1r> chrisc35 , did u set IP ?
[00:57] <phixnay> AndrewEMT: I think it depends on how you use fsck. I know that it's used routinely by gparted, and at boot when your partitions have been mounted 30+ times
[00:57] <GigaClon> does Gutsy have compiz/beryl etc installed by default
[00:58] <murkyMurk> SOUL_ASSASSIN: i've never seen a wifi port listed as eth1..always wlan0 or something else. It's down to the driver module I think
[00:58] <cwillu> foug: io is about the only thing that'll actually cause issues
[00:58] <kst-> i adjusted the /etc/usplash.conf but still i'm not getting a boot splash... what's wrong with that? or should i use some 'normal' resolution like 1024x768 as I have 1280x800 widescreen?
[00:58] <jdong> foug: IMO tracker's benefits outweigh the intiial cost in building a base index
[00:58] <ChrisC35> m1r set the ip where?

[00:58] <AndrewEMT> Okay, this is my problem, I had to restore my pc last night because a check was forced after 30 boots, it failed and said there was a faulty filesystem and restarted, It rebooted, came back to the check again but this time it was due to an erroneous filesystem and when it got to 70% it would not check anymore and fail, it would keep restarting, checking due to erroneous system, and rebbot when it got to 70%... I want to keep this

[00:58] <lavender_dream> any personal recommendation on what to use to get my shell embedded into my desktop with full transparency?
[00:58] <tlarkin244> can any body help?
[00:58] <tlarkin244> I just plugged in my radeon x1600 pci-e card, when i rebooted, it told me that the computer had to be run in safe graphics mode, and that I would have to configure it myself. I configured it then went and enabled the card on restricted drivers, when I restart, none of the changes were saved, and it prompts me for the same thing
[00:58] <Lunks> I'm not able to connect to a host using FreeNX. :(
[00:58] <phixnay> what's with all these DCC attacks recently?
[00:58] <foug> jdong: not sure what all that means to be honest, never had a problem with slow searches in 7.04
[00:58] <AllyUnion> jonjon09: That just means X server is not installed properly
[00:58] <m1r> chrisc35 on the installation procedure ?
[00:58] <heartsblood> quick naming convention question if I may.  when I look at documentation refering to man pages I always see the name of the prgram and a number in parenthesis.  What is that number indicating?

[00:59] <Pelo> juanbond, http://www.linuxcommand.org/index.php

[01:05] <Frogzoo> Pelo: ok, that doesn't sound like too big a deal
[01:05] <garu> Frogzoo some people had problems with it, and some didnt, I had. You might have, or maybe not. But, the clean installation is less likely to give u problems
[01:05] <GigaClon> because its not working
[01:05] <Pelo> GigaClon,  menu > syustem > prefs > appearance , 4th tab
[01:05] <ChrisC35> Well now it went to restart (took out cd) and its just on blank screen again

[01:06] <Sgt_Shankers> is there anyway using wine on ubuntu to make windows programs look more like they do in windows? i noticed yesterday i downloaded mirc and noname script for it and the default font was almost unreadable
[01:06] <cwillu> keen: grub-install "(hd0,0)" might work (hd0,0) meaning the first drive, first partition, which probably isn't right in your case
[01:06] <ChrisC35> should I restart the comptuer?
[01:06] <Pelo> warfangle, check in the forum www.ubuntuforums.org
[01:07] <cwillu> keen: but I have no experience with the darwin bootloader
[01:07] <Frogzoo> Pelo: sounds a bit awkward, I'll keep it in mind, thanks
[01:07] <Lunks> Pelo: Is it theme-related?
[01:07] <m1r> temp454 , moto4lin

[01:08] <BHSPitLappy> Anyone else have blurry icons in Gutsy?
[01:08] <FlurrY> I'm booting up my laptop and getting an error 17 before grub's menu pops up
[01:08] <cwillu> emj: file a bug
[01:08] <flodine> nope
[01:09] <ralpho> 7.10 best ubuntu yet :) good work
[01:09] <Pelo> jewbilee, check your user settings make sure you have permissions to shutdown and restart
[01:09] <Stormx2> gb__: grub error 17. It means his bios can't read the grub /boot partition.
[01:09] <BHSPitLappy> jewbilee, are you on a second login?
[01:09] <cwillu> keen: http://forum.insanelymac.com/lofiversion/index.php/t3195.html might be useful
[01:09] <Lunks> Pelo: Thanks a lot! =)
[01:09] <gb__> ok ty for heads up storm
[01:09] <BHSPitLappy> patient guy.
[01:09] <keen> cwillu, thanks much
[01:09] <ChrisC35> m1r after it restarted, it wont boot to the os - just get a blank screen with the cursor in top left (ascii)
[01:09] <emj> cwillu: Yeah I was going to, but then I found out  I have no idea where.. ;-) I'm guesing it's libc but not sure
[01:09] <gb__> FlurrY:  do u have the / parttion mounted?
[01:09] <radioaktivstorm> astro76, if it helps any, I am running a dell d800, using the bcm 4306 with bcm43xx-fwcutter from the resricte drivers manager. I used ndiswrapper on feisty, but it was fussy too.
[01:09] <gb__> so we cna edit the menu.lst file
[01:09] <garu> can someone tell me how can I install wifi-radar from the command prompt?
[01:09] <FlurrY> yeah
[01:10] <m1r> chrisc35, did u install grub ?
[01:10] <gb__> ok plz do this first
[01:10] <garu> OMG...sounded as if I was in windows.lol
[01:10] <cwillu> emj: don't worry about getting the package right, they'll bounce it around until it sticks somewhere :p
[01:10] <Stormx2> gb__: The menu.lst file is irrelevent, grub doesn't get that far.
[01:10] <gb__> fdisk -l
[01:10] <emj> cwillu: Ah Launchpad then..
[01:10] <Pelo> FlurrY,   your grub menu entry for the kernel is not in the set with the correct partition,  when you get back to the menu,  hit e to edit,  hit e again to edit the first line with the partition in it and try changing   (hd1.0) to (hd0,0) or what ever partiton ubuntu is installed on
[01:10] <garu> can someone tell me the command to install wifi-radar from the terminal?
[01:10] <flick> my firefox window suddenly became black and stopped responding what does that mean?
[01:10] <tlarkin244> ok, i have done anything i can think of, I need to install a radeon x1600 pci e card, everytime i get the drivers installed and restart, it sends me right back to low graphics mode claiming not to be able to recognise the driver, someone please help
[01:10] <FlurrY> pelo: I'm not even getting to grub's menu
[01:10] <ChrisC35> m1r what is grub? All I've done is put in the live cd for ubuntu 7.10 and booted to it. I chose install and it partitioned my new hd, and thats it
[01:10] <westjd> has anyone here ever tried that aircrack application?
[01:10] <FlurrY> My laptop boots up, I get the Sager load screen, and then grub error 17
[01:10] <cwillu> westjd: years ago :p
[01:10] <astro76> radioaktivstorm, not really,  it just worked for me on feisty on my hp after installing the firmware, sorry
[01:10] <emj> cwillu: Thanks.. ;-)
[01:10] <m1r> chrisc35, how did u partition it ?
[01:10] <Stormx2> Pelo: he can't get to the menu, the mbr portition of grub can't access the parition further stages are stored on.
[01:10] <cwillu> westjd: worked though
[01:11] <Pelo> flick,  you have reached the last page of the internet , you have to wait until someone makes more to continew surfing
[01:11]  * squarebottle is away: Gone away for now.
[01:11] <gb__> Stormx2:  true that is why i plan to reinstall it
[01:11] <radioaktivstorm> thanks anyway astro76
[01:11] <cwillu> lol @ pelo
[01:11] <gb__> to hd or floppy to make sure it works
[01:11] <westjd> cwillu thats pretty much what I wanted to hear
[01:11] <flick> Pelo, ok
[01:11] <ChrisC35> m1r i chose one of the options, for entire hd, which it setup a default and a swp
[01:11] <Stormx2> gb__: I tried that over PM with him.
[01:11] <Pelo> FlurrY, realy ?
[01:11] <gb__> did u try floppy?
[01:11] <m1r> chrisc35, did u chose boot partition ?
[01:11] <FlurrY> I don't have a floppy drive
[01:11] <cwillu> westjd: dependant on the wireless card though, make sure you check that
[01:11] <overridex> my upgrade to gutsy failed just before the "clean up" step in the upgrade... is there a way I can run the upgrader again, it's not longer an option in upgrade-manager
[01:11] <ChrisC35> perhaps the issue is in the bios boot order - i'll try that
[01:11] <Stormx2> !u | gb__
[01:11] <ubotu> gb__: Unless you're Dutch or Flemish, or a government officier, the letter 'U' is not a pronoun.  If you want to be taken more seriously, please bother to type out the extra letters in "you".  The same goes for "why", "because", "anyone", and so on..
[01:11] <gb__> ooo ok

[01:11] <m1r> chrisc35, nm last line
[01:11] <FlurrY> yeah
[01:11] <FlurrY> pelo
[01:12] <casey_> is there an easy way to upgrade to the newest ALSA? (1.0.15)
[01:12] <cesar__> hi, my sound doesn't work on VLC, but it works on movie player
[01:12] <westjd> cwillu It looks somewhat complicated to install.  I have a netgear.. they refer to a bunch of wireless cards I have not even heard of.
[01:12] <cwillu> westjd: it's the chipset that matters
[01:12] <Pelo> FlurrY, try the supergrub cd ,   last link on the instructions ubotu will give,  somewere toward the end of the page
[01:12] <rainwalker> what could go wrong if I upgrade to gutsy from feisty without removing/commenting out third-party sofware sources?
[01:12] <FlurrY> i tried supergrum
[01:12] <FlurrY> erm
[01:12] <Pelo> !grub | FlurrY
[01:12] <cwillu> westjd: lspci | grep 802 should tell you what you need to know
[01:12] <ubotu> FlurrY: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[01:12] <FlurrY> Supergrub
[01:12] <gb__> give me a break man i'm just joining for god sake Stormx2, grrrrr
[01:12] <westjd> cwillu, how can I find that out?
[01:12] <vik> cafuego: you about?
[01:12] <cwillu> westjd: I think it's 802
[01:12] <DShepherd> FlurrY, grub 17 means .. 17 : Cannot mount selected partition. This error is returned if the partition requested exists, but the filesystem type cannot be recognized by GRUB.  I am not sure if you care about such details though
[01:12] <FlurrY> I've tried that first link
[01:12]  * cafuego is always about
[01:12] <FlurrY> Supergrub error 17's when I try to boot linux, as well
[01:12] <kkathman> about what ?
[01:13] <FlurrY> which is probably another problem entirely
[01:13] <cwillu> westjd: there should be a link on their site showing you how to find out what chipset you have
[01:13] <warfangle> ah this is odd. my restricted driver manager says the driver for my card is enabled, but not in use. How do I make it use it, then?
[01:13] <Pelo> I'm done for tonight,  best of luck to you all
[01:13] <garu> GOD...What a nightmare
[01:13] <westjd> thanks cwillu
[01:13] <cafuego> kkathman: coffee
[01:13] <cwillu> garu: I guarantee I've had worse nightmares :p
[01:13] <gb__> some people jesus!!
[01:13] <kkathman> yay coffee
[01:13] <cafuego> gb__: Yes, my son?
[01:13] <ChrisC35> m1r no it isnt boot order - put first order to hd and same thing - just blank screen
[01:13] <vik> cafuego: my edupass (wpa wifi) setup has broken since upgrading - any idea what's changed?
[01:13] <gb__> sorry flurry dont think people want me to help you, tc bro
[01:13] <gb__> good luck
[01:13] <casey_> Is there a reason why the newest ALSA base isn't available through apt-get yet?
[01:13] <Stormx2> cafuego: I would like to file a bug report ;)
[01:13] <FlurrY> what?
[01:13] <FlurrY> o.o
[01:14] <overridex> what does the "cleaning up..." step do in the gutsy upgrader... am I safe to reboot even though it didn't pass that?
[01:14] <cafuego> vik: Umm no idea, I've never used edupass <heh>
[01:14] <GenNMX> How do I prevent my system from hanging if I get a timeout on accessing a drive? If I disconnect a drive, my system will hang if I try to access it, even if I reconnect it beforehand.  I'm just trying to save you both time by not repeating what I tried with FlurrY
[01:14] <cafuego> vik: I just got someone to send me their details, so I could  pop it on the wiki
[01:14] <cwillu> FlurrY: what's going on?
[01:14] <garu> cwillu how come?
[01:14] <rypaint> can anyone help me? i somehow changed something and now my system doesnt recognize the soundcar on the motherboard is there a way to reconfigure the entire audio options?
[01:14] <ChrisC35> i'll try install again with a different option
[01:14] <FlurrY> ..
[01:14] <eyemean> i really dont undertand why teh 7.10 dual screen dont just work easy, lol
[01:15] <FlurrY> meh
[01:15] <FlurrY> lol
[01:15] <cwillu> garu: well, there's the time I deleted the home directories of about 80 people
[01:15] <FlurrY> Well, cwillu, I'm getting a grub error 17.  But it's before the actual grub menu appears
[01:15] <cwillu> garu: and the tape machine started eating tapes :)
[01:15] <Stormx2> FlurrY: Post a topic on ubuntuforums.org and get some sleep.
[01:15] <arch1k> I'm having issues with getting my Aspire 5630 to hibernate...can someone help me?
[01:15] <cwillu> FlurrY: do you have a live cd?
[01:15] <FlurrY> yes
[01:15] <eyemean> for now i've given up on my xorg editing, it was great on 7.04,  but i feel crap wit out 2 screens
[01:15] <vik> cafuego: thanks
[01:15] <garu> cwillu for some reason, I can't stand still at home...I can't live without wireless...and wireless has been the biggest problem ever, with every distro
[01:15] <cwillu> FlurrY: boot it in single user mode (f6 on the boot menu, add single, and delete splash and quiet)
[01:15] <eugo> where are the smb passwords stored?
[01:15] <eyeRmonkey> /nick eyeRmonkey
[01:15] <garu> cwillu ahahahahhahaha
[01:16] <rainwalker> why am I unable to add the GPG key for the medibuntu repos?
[01:16] <FlurrY> Boot what in single user mode
[01:16] <eyeRmonkey> question: I just installed gutsy on my RAID setup. I need to "sudo chroot /target" then "sudo apt-get install dmraid" so dmraid will be on the new installation (and not just the live CD), but I get all sorts of errors about dpkg not working. I think I need to "sudo mount -t proc proc /target/proc", "sudo mount -t sysfs sysfs /target/sys", "sudo chroot /target" then install dmraid, but I'm not allowed to do that until proc and sysfs
[01:16] <FlurrY> I don't even get a boot menu
[01:16] <garu> cwillu oh man...hwat hav u done?
[01:16] <cwillu> FlurrY: the live cd
[01:16] <FlurrY> oooh
[01:16] <FlurrY> ok
[01:16] <cwillu> garu: that was years ago, and years later they offered me twice my pay to stay :)
[01:16] <picard_pwns_kirk> let's not abuse the new users, now
[01:16] <arch1k> can someone help me with making hibernate possible on my laptop?
[01:16] <garu> cwillu ur problem is different...u'v deleted...caused the problem...lol!I'm a victim :D
[01:16] <foug> Does Opera 9.24 work in Ubuntu?  What driver are you using... default of ntfs-3g?
[01:17] <garu> cwillu hey...twice?I assume that's a big number :o :)!IT Industry really pays well :)!Gotta finish Uni.lol

[01:17] <ubotu> fatcatmatt: Please watch your language and topic, and keep this channel family friendly.
[01:17] <cwillu> FlurrY: then you need to reinstall grub by hand
[01:17] <FlurrY> i've already done that
[01:17] <cwillu> garu: ya, it was :p
[01:17] <Stormx2> fatcatmatt: That's a piss take of WGA.
[01:17] <sonic_mf_boom> ntfs-3g, i believe,
[01:17] <FlurrY> many times
[01:17] <fatcatmatt> ???  there's no bad language in what i said
[01:17] <Stormx2> Bah, I just went against what I just said...
[01:17] <MasterShrek> foug, it should work, they probably just havent updated their list of supported distros since 7.10 just came out

[01:17] <eyeRmonke1> question: I just installed gutsy on my RAID setup.

[01:18] <garu> cwillu I could only get wireless working in sabayon, and that was after about 1 month killing myself to sort it out.lol
[01:18] <Stormx2> picard_pwns_kirk: I deserved that one..
[01:18] <cwillu> garu: but I was sick of paying absurd amounts for a single room an hours drive from work (only got worse as I got closer to work)
[01:18] <sonic_mf_boom> Stormx2, I am pretty new to linux, but I just installed the ntfs-3g

[01:18] <FlurrY> and booted up linux
[01:18] <cwillu> FlurrY: np, I wasn't either :p
[01:19] <Stormx2> j-ace-n: I do. The people in #bash do too :)
[01:19] <cwillu> garu: sorry, haven't used that card before;  might check to see if ndiswrapper is known to work with it
[01:19] <foug> Did they change the way the Window List app for the panel's work? I can't change the size of the buttons anymore. It only gives me the basic options (grouping etc)
[01:19] <sonic_mf_boom> Stormx2, the error says that the NTFS drive is marked to be in use
[01:19] <casey_> how do I uninstall all of my sound drivers?
[01:19] <j-ace-n> oh yeah good idea
[01:19] <j-ace-n> thanks
[01:19] <cwillu> foug: I recall hearing something about that, but I don't know for sure
[01:19] <DrHalan> how do i use gnome-panel in gutsy?
[01:19] <Stormx2> sonic_mf_boom: Sure it isn't already mounted? Check in /media
[01:19] <eyeRmonkey> how do I unmount sysfs and proc without restarting?
[01:19] <garu> cwillu now, gutsy gibbon detects and connects to my wireless network, but, if I start downloading anything, I lose the connection until I restart the computer.The same goes if I try to copy anything from one computer in my home network to this one.how weird is that?lol
[01:19] <Stormx2> DrHalan: Keyboard, mouse, that sort of thing.
[01:19] <foug> cwillu: crap...
[01:20] <FlurrY> Ok, booting linux in single user right now
[01:20] <garu> cwillu that's how I got it to work in sabayon!
[01:20] <cesar__> why does ubuntu not work out of the box? i can't play sound

[01:20] <arch1k> When i have 480MB of swap my lapop has suspend option available, when i make an axtra 600MB image it doesnt show the option. In both cases i cannot hibernate/suspend...please help
[01:21] <cwillu> garu: okay, then you want to install ndiswrapper and recommended/related packages, find out which module you're using right now, add it to /etc/modules/blacklist, and then install the firmware for ndiswrapper (possibly adding ndiswrapper by hand to /etc/modules)
[01:21] <rypaint> casey_:  i need to know that 2
[01:21] <ryan> how can I change the default runlevel of my system?
[01:21] <garu> cwillu using ndiswrapper.But the problem then was different.It couldnt even detect my card, now...I can connect and do everything, untill I start downloading or try to copy things from another computer to this one!
[01:21] <sonic_mf_boom> Stormx2, nope not mounted
[01:21] <xanith> Anyone know why after I installed the icedtea-java7-plugin and restarted firefox, java still isn't displaying?
[01:21] <sistom> I upgraded to 7.10 and everytime I try and load most programs I get a SIGSEGV error
[01:21] <cesar__> eyerstorm: but this worked on feisty
[01:21] <eyeRmonkey> how do I unmount sysfs and proc without restarting?
[01:21] <casey_> rypaint: no one has answered me yet =\
[01:21] <Stormx2> sonic_mf_boom: Run "mount" under terminal - is it listed?
[01:21] <garu> cwillu nah...I got sick and tired of ndiswrapper.lol
[01:21] <FlurrY> cwillu, now it's loaded
[01:21] <sistom> anyone?
[01:21] <cwillu> FlurrY: k
[01:22] <cwillu> grub
[01:22] <Stormx2> casey_: Answered you? You haven't actually asked a question. We're not going to apologise to you.
[01:22] <casey_> how do I uninstall all of my sound drivers?
[01:22] <cesar__> my sound wont work on "autodetect", i have to change it to "multichannel playback"
[01:22] <stubblyhead> i'm having some networking problems in feisty ubuntu, is this a good channel to ask for help, or is another more appropriate?
[01:22] <garu> cwillu my wireless works out of the box...only to download and copy from another computer to this one that's when the problem starts.isnt that weird?lol
[01:22] <casey_> I've asked that question several times now actually
[01:22] <vocx> xanith, maybe because you haven't selected as alternative. I'm guessing here "sudo update-alternative java"
[01:22] <arch1k> can
[01:22] <arch1k> anyone
[01:22] <arch1k> help
[01:22] <arch1k> me

[01:22] <arch1k> please!?!!

[01:22] <ubotu> Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[01:22] <Stormx2> !enter | arch1k
[01:22] <bardyr> stubblyhead, this is a good place
[01:22] <cesar__> true, casey has asked the question several times
[01:22] <ubotu> arch1k: please see above
[01:22] <sonic_mf_boom> Stormx2, not sure what i am looking at but i don't see it there
[01:22] <sistom> I upgraded to 7.10 and everytime I try and load most programs I get a SIGSEGV error
[01:22] <FlurrY> cwillu, k
[01:22] <eyeRmonkey> one last try: how do I unmount sysfs and proc without restarting?
[01:23] <cwillu> flurry, now, I usually figure this out as I go along when i need to do it, fair warning :p
[01:23] <cesar__> my sound won't work on autodetect, i have to change it to "multichannel playback"
[01:23] <cwillu> FlurrY:
[01:23] <sistom> It started when I first loaded the new upgrade
[01:23] <xanith> vocx: that doesn't do anything?
[01:23] <Stormx2> sonic_mf_boom: uhg, I have no idea. A reboot might help - then try ntfs-config again
[01:23] <cwillu> FlurrY: do you know which partition you're installed on?
[01:23] <sistom> no one knows anything
[01:23] <FlurrY> /dev/sdb1
[01:23] <sistom> lol
[01:23] <stubblyhead> ok.  i have a couple of problems.  first, when I boot up my computer, my networking invariably dies within about 10 minutes.
[01:23] <stubblyhead> if i disable and re-enable it, it works fine for as long as my computer is on.
[01:23] <sistom> ...
[01:24] <cwillu> FlurrY: in grub, type setup (hd1,0)
[01:24] <casey_> how do I uninstall all of my sound drivers?
[01:24] <cesar__> my sound won't work on autodetect, i have to change it to "multichannel playback". how do i make the sound work on autodetect? stuff like VLC won't play sound, but other sound programs will. i want all of my sound programs to work
[01:24] <FlurrY> o.
[01:24] <FlurrY> o.o
[01:24] <brad016> I have a problem with compiz in 7.10, I go into appearence and click on customize or extra but it won't apply the visual affects
[01:24] <FlurrY> invalid device requested
[01:24] <arch1k> ubotu: i saw above, i have also asked for help, should i come later or somehting?
[01:24] <MasterShrek> stubblyhead, blacklist the module, then manually load it by putting a command in /etc/rc.local
[01:24] <cwillu> FlurrY: type quit, and then type ls /dev/hd* /dev/sd*
[01:24] <sonic_mf_boom> Stormx2, when I try to install ntfs-config, it says "Depends: libdbus-1-2 (>=0.60) but it is not installable" unresolveable dependencies, any idea what that means
[01:25] <stubblyhead> i'm a noob and don't really know how to do either of those things.
[01:25] <FlurrY> no such file or directory for the hd*
[01:25] <FlurrY> but for sd
[01:25] <casey_> am I just not being heard or is everyone that busy?
[01:25] <cwillu> FlurrY: sdb1?
[01:25] <cwillu> k
[01:25] <FlurrY> i get sda sda1 sdb sdb1 sdb2 sdb5 sdc sdc1
[01:25] <cwillu> casey_ very busy
[01:25] <stubblyhead> i could add something to rc.local, but I wouldn't know what command to use.
[01:25] <lca> Hello, somebody knows how to install a hp scanjet c? i have ubuntu 10.4
[01:25] <sdct989> Upgrade from Feisty to Gutsy failed midway, update-manager won't upgrade anymore, is there a way to force an upgrade?
[01:25] <vocx> arch1k, ubotu is not human
[01:25] <FlurrY> sda and sdc are my windows drives, sdb is my linux one
[01:25] <casey_> =\
[01:25] <cwillu> FlurrY: try grub, setup (hd1)
[01:25] <arch1k> Anybody here knows how to resolve Hibernation issues on an acer laptop, ?  vocx: thatnx..i just realized it...
[01:26] <DrHalan> Stromx2, sry i meant AWN
[01:26] <vocx> lca, ubuntu 10.4 is not out yet  ha ha ha!
[01:26] <picard_pwns_kirk> arch1k: ubotu is a bunch of cleverly engineered code
[01:26] <cesar__>  my sound won't work on autodetect, i have to change it to "multichannel playback". how do i make the sound work on autodetect? stuff like VLC won't play sound, but other sound programs will. i want all of my sound programs to work
[01:26] <IndyLucian> this is kind of frustrating. . . for some reason "Connect to Server..." as ssh, ftp, anything will not allow me to connect to my laptop for vice versa. How can I fix this? (note: i have properly configured the firewall. I CAN connect via ssh through the terminal. i would like the graphical version for easy file transfers)
[01:26] <cwillu> FlurrY: or setup (sd1) (but I don't think it uses sd)
[01:26] <eyeRmonkey> how do I unmount sysfs and proc without restarting?
[01:26] <TheShadow> how do I list the valid partitiions and their types on a hard drive I tried fdisk -l but it says no valid partition table
[01:26] <IndyLucian> *or vice versa
[01:26] <NiteFears> hi
[01:26] <FlurrY> invalid device requested
[01:26] <danny3793> Can someone help me with Gutsy and backing up my data with it? It keeps freezing for some reason...
[01:26] <cwillu> :/
[01:26] <sonic_mf_boom> Stormx2, Any idea?
[01:26] <emj> the9a3eedi:  fdisk -l /dev/sda
[01:26] <astro76> !version | lca
[01:26] <ubotu> lca: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell
[01:26] <FlurrY> yeah
[01:26] <TheShadow> emj: I did that
[01:27] <emj> TheShadow: fdisk -l /dev/sda
[01:27] <FlurrY> grub just doesn't like this laptop
[01:27] <cesar__>  my sound won't work on autodetect, i have to change it to "multichannel playback". how do i make the sound work on autodetect? stuff like VLC won't play sound, but other sound programs will. i want all of my sound programs to work
[01:27] <emj> TheShadow: :-)
[01:27] <cwillu> FlurrY: no, I just never remember the right sequence the first time :p
[01:27] <lca> i got the 7.10
[01:27] <cwillu> FlurrY: try grub-install /dev/sdb1
[01:27] <Konam> can someone tell me if is possible to make that some users can't explore files outside their respective /home
[01:27] <Konam> ?
[01:27] <cwillu> or just grub-install /dev/sdb
[01:27] <danny3793> lca: what do you think of 7.10?
[01:27] <emj> TheShadow: Are you sure.. becaus eI often make the mistake of doing hda1 instead
[01:27] <FlurrY> isn't it root (something)?
[01:27] <brad016> the built in visual affects is screwy, i'm on a fairly new laptop with supprted ati graphics but appearance won;t let me go beyonf "normal" when I click "extra"
[01:27] <arch1k> thre is 1325 people in this room and not a single person can rply?

[01:28] <ubotu> arch1k: The people here are volunteers, your attitude may determine how fast you are helped.  Not everyone is available all the time, likewise not every answer is available instantly. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[01:28] <IndyLucian> lca, i really love the integrated feature of performing point-and-click ease for encrypted filesystems
[01:28] <cwillu> Konam: chroot would be the standard mechanism, although note that by default they can't write to most things, or read important things
[01:28] <Stormx2> sonic_mf_boom: Try doing "sudo apt-get update"
[01:28] <NiteFears> I've written a simple program in Python and would like to package it in a .deb.  Can someone point me to a template or tutorial for creating very basic packages? The program doesn't have any n ative dependencies, and I've already identified the Python packages it depends upon.
[01:28] <Stormx2> FlurrY: Different thing.
[01:28] <cwillu> FlurrY: I meant from bash
[01:28] <casey_> Is ALSA the only soudn driver I should worry about removing?
[01:28] <Stormx2> arch1k: Most are idling.
[01:28] <cwillu> quit, and then run that command
[01:28] <andresmujica> !patience > andresmujica
[01:28] <eyeRmonkey> can anyone at least tell me if it is possible to unmount "proc" and "sysfs" without restarting? Or am i fighting a losing battle?
[01:28] <vocx> FlurrY, grub-install is a separate program, the root (hd0) method is typed within the grub prompt, which you access by typing "grub"
[01:28] <lca> how can i install a hp scanjet 4400c with ubuntu 7.10?
[01:28] <Konam> cwillu how do I do that with chroot?
[01:28] <danny3793> Can someone help me get Gutsy to stop freezin, and help me back up my data before attempting to install it onto my existing 7.04 which is screwed
[01:29] <FlurrY> okay
[01:29] <Pici> eyeRmonkey: you're fighting a losing battle/.
[01:29] <sdct989> Does anyone know what I can do after the upgrade from feisty to gutsy fails half way?  Is there any documentation on how to finish the upgrade?
[01:29] <FlurrY> I was talking about earlier
[01:29] <cwillu> Konam: out of scope for here;  google it :p
[01:29] <FlurrY> but yeah
[01:29] <FlurrY> Anyways
[01:29] <brad016> the built in visual affects is screwy, i'm on a fairly new laptop with supprted ati graphics but appearance won;t let me go beyonf "normal" when I click "extra"
[01:29] <vocx> eyeRmonkey, why do you want to unmount them? Aren't they like virtual filesystems for the kernel?
[01:29] <eyeRmonkey> pici: sad. :( ... I have no idea how to install dmraid on my installation without restarting
[01:29] <andresmujica> eyermonkey.. mmaybe if you go to level one  init 1
[01:29] <emj> TheShadow: ?
[01:29] <FlurrY> "Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time."  "Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device."
[01:29] <cesar__>  my sound won't work on autodetect, i have to change it to "multichannel playback". how do i make the sound work on autodetect? stuff like VLC won't play sound, but other sound programs will. i want all of my sound programs to work
[01:29] <andresmujica> but don't believe it too much because those are kernel fs
[01:29] <eyeRmonkey> vocx: i think so. i just need to a proper installation on my new mount. i wanted to mount proc /target/proc so i can do "sudo apt-get install dmraid" on the new system
[01:29] <cesar__> !patience > cesar__
[01:29] <cwillu> FlurrY: grub again, it might be install (hd1)
[01:30] <danny3793> sdct989: Yeah, backup your data before you restart or else you are screwed, mine did the same thing after downloading 1.4GB, gave me a chance to report a bug about nvidia drivers, canceled it after about 3 mins of waiting, and it canceled the ENTIRE upgrade, brilliant eh?
[01:30] <casey_> cesar: I guess no one likes sound questions ;)
[01:30] <cwillu> FlurrY: rather than setup
[01:30] <juanbond> how can i customize the terminal to open all the time with a certain width and height?
[01:30] <vocx> danny3793, use any Live CD, Ubuntu or Knoppix for instance. Mount your partitions, copy the info elsewhere, and reformat or reinstall as you wish.
[01:30] <Pici> !sound > cesar__ (Please see the private messsage from ubotu)
[01:30] <cesar__> HELP, FUCKERS
[01:30] <cesar__> oh, thanks pici
[01:30] <Seeker`> !language | cesar__
[01:30] <ubotu> cesar__: Please watch your language and topic, and keep this channel family friendly.
[01:30] <casey_> lol
[01:30] <eyeRmonkey> andresmujica: i'll try that
[01:30] <FlurrY> "Error 1: Filename must be either an absolute pathname or blocklist"
[01:30] <sdct989> danny3793: haha...  so there isn't a way to force it to restart the upgrade process?
[01:30] <danny3793> vocx: I tried to access the drive, but certain parts of information i still cant access, and most of these folders are very important
[01:30] <cwillu> FlurrY: okay, give me a sec, I'm gonna boot my laptop and try it
[01:31] <FlurrY> k
[01:31] <danny3793> sdct989: not to my knowledge, if its not showing up in the Upgrade Manager anymore then you're screwed and will either have to reinstall 7.04 or install 7.10

[01:31] <sdct989> danny3793: Gotcha.  Thanks for replying.
[01:31] <cesar__> why did i get kicked out?
[01:31] <juanbond> nice..thanks!
[01:31] <vocx> danny3793, what parts you are unable to retrieve?
[01:32] <danny3793> sdct989: no prob :P, hopefully you are able to backup your data safely lol, Gutsy keeps freezin on me
[01:32] <andresmujica> danny3793 which was the error message that you've got?
[01:32] <danny3793> vocx: Folders with permissions for userID 1000 which was my user account, i could access them before on the actual OS, but when i mount parts are still not accessable, these are within the home folder of my user account
[01:32] <cwillu> FlurrY: just booting
[01:32] <FlurrY> k
[01:33] <DrHalan> when i want to set visual effects to normal it says "compiz not avaible" any hints?
[01:33] <danny3793> andresmujica: something failed when it was doing some nvidia stuff, and i felt it should be reported but the report was taking forever, and when i canceled the report it canceled the entire upgrade, which is stupid lol
[01:33] <FlurrY> I always seem to have some major problem with ubuntu x.x
[01:33] <techjimbo> hey guys pidgin isn't spell checking by default on pidgin 2.2.1.  anyone have this prob?
[01:33] <FlurrY> right upon installing it
[01:33] <cwillu> FlurrY: 7.10 cd right?
[01:33] <casey_> Anyone know how I can go about making a suggestion that the newest ALSA release be added to the depos?
[01:33] <FlurrY> yeah
[01:33] <Sgt_Shankers> DrHalan your video card may not support it
[01:33] <woekele> hey, is it true that libcurl is no longer in Ubuntu by default (since Gutsy)?
[01:33] <zzxc> On the livecd, is the "root" kernel option used as a place to look for the cdrom?

[01:34] <danny3793> vocx: if i can do so with terminal then that would be perfect, but Gutsy keeps freezing and im thinking its a video problem due to what is happening
